Authors: Trung Ngo Sy , Hung Nguyen Tan , Hai Nguyen Duc , Long Tran Thanh , Trung Nguyen Thanh
Published: September 2024

Communication is considered to be significant to universities: provide students updated information to make appropriate choices and decisions during their learning process; and promptly feedback to contribute to building a better educational and training environment; improve institutional governance efficiency. Communication tools used in universities are diverse in forms and contents. This study focuses on two popular forms, which are policy communication (communication of policies and laws on higher education) and internal communication (communication about professional activities and community activities of the university). The theoretical framework has been developed and a survey was conducted to collect opinions of 450 students from many universities representing 3 regions of Vietnam, including: Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU) (Northern region); The University of Danang (UD) (Central region); Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) (Southern region). The results show that the policy communications of these universities are not effectively implemented. The findings suggest innovations for managers to improve communication effectiveness and governance efficiency in these higher education institutions.
Valuation model for catastrophe reinsurance contracts covering multiple insurance products: An application to Indonesian earthquake data
Authors: Novkaniza Fevi , Devila Sindy , Zabri Nadiah
Published: September 2024

Catastrophes, like earthquakes, bring sudden and severe damage, causing fatalities, injuries, and property loss. This often triggers a rapid increase in insurance claims. These claims can encompass various types, such as life insurance claims for deaths, health insurance claims for injuries, and general insurance claims for property damage. For insurers offering multiple types of coverage, this surge in claims can pose a risk of financial losses or bankruptcy. One option for insurers is to transfer some of these risks to reinsurance companies. Reinsurance companies will assess the potential losses due to a catastrophe event, then issue catastrophe reinsurance contracts to insurance companies. This study aims to construct a valuation model for catastrophe reinsurance contracts that can cover claim losses arising from two types of insurance products. Valuation in this study is done using the Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing, which is the expected present value of the number of claims that occur during the reinsurance coverage period. The number of catastrophe events during the reinsurance coverage period is assumed to follow a Poisson process. Each impact of a catastrophe event, such as the number of fatalities and injuries that cause claims, is represented as random variables, and modeled using Peaks Over Threshold (POT). This study uses Clayton, Gumbel, and Frank copulas to describe various dependence characteristics between random variables. The parameters of the POT model and copula are estimated using Inference Functions for Margins method. After estimating the model parameters, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to obtain numerical solutions for the expected value of catastrophe reinsurance based on the Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing. The expected reinsurance value based on Monte Carlo simulations using Indonesian earthquake data from 1979–2021 is Rp 10,296,819,838.

OBJECTIVE

To report local progression and survival in dogs following surgery and postoperative definitive radiotherapy (dRT) for management of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and to evaluate risk factors for local progression and survival.

METHODS

Records were retrospectively reviewed at 9 referral hospitals for dogs managed with postoperative dRT between January 1, 2010, and January 1, 2020, following surgery for STS. Data related to presentation, surgery, dRT, systemic therapy, and outcome were abstracted. Selected variables were assessed for association with local progression and overall survival.

RESULTS

272 dogs were included. Histologic grade was reported in 249 dogs: 102 were grade 1 (40.9%), 120 were grade 2 (48.2%), and 27 were grade 3 (10.8%). Local progression was suspected or confirmed in 56 dogs. Local progression rates were similar for grade 1 (24 of 89 [26.7%]), grade 2 (23 of 111 [20.7%]), and grade 3 tumors (6 of 22 [27.3%]). Previous recurrence (P = .010) and subsequent distant metastasis (P = .014) were associated with more frequent local progression; intensity-modulated radiotherapy was associated with decreased local progression (P = .025) compared to other forms of delivery. Age (P = .049), grade (P = .009), previous recurrence (P = .009), and institution type for surgery (P = .043) were associated with overall survival.

CONCLUSIONS

Outcomes for most dogs were good; however, the frequency of local progression indicates an ongoing need to critically appraise local management strategies, particularly for low-grade STS. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy was associated with lower rates of local progression and may be preferred to less precise forms of delivery.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

These data may guide clinicians when making decisions regarding dRT for management of STS.
Improving sensitivity in the deep regions of a volume conductor using electrical focused impedance methods
Authors: Mobarak Mahjabin , Rabbani K Siddique-e
Published: September 2024

Bioimpedance measurements are becoming important in probing the human body for diagnosis and monitoring. An age old 4-electrode technique called tetrapolar impedance measurement (TPIM), giving transfer impedance, cannot localize a specific zone besides having large zones of negative sensitivity. A new technique named the focused impedance method (FIM) from Dhaka University (DU), Bangladesh used the algebraic average of two concentric and orthogonal TPIMs, localizing a zone of interest and having reduced magnitudes of negative sensitivity. Earlier, this was implemented with electrodes applied from one side of the human body giving information to shallow depths only. To get information from deeper regions, specifically, of the thorax, the same DU group placed two electrodes of a 4-electrode version of FIM at the front and two at the back in a horizontal plane of the thorax, using physics-based visualization. This was followed by a few quantitative studies using point sensitivity, which supported the concept. However, more quantitative studies still need to be performed, particularly using objects of finite sizes, in order to establish the technique on a stronger footing. The present study was taken up with this objective. A simplified approach was used in which the volume conductor was a rectangular non-conducting container filled with saline of uniform conductivity with an embedded spherical object – first an insulator and then a conductor. Electrodes were placed at specific chosen positions following the above visualization. Percentage change in transfer impedance with the object placed at different internal positions, compared to that without the object was obtained first using COMSOL simulation and then through experimental measurements. These were performed for both TPIM and FIM. The new configuration of 4-electrode FIM gave good depth sensitivity supporting the effectiveness of the new placement of electrodes.
Determining the Beneficial Owner of Dividend Income Compared to Other Items of Income in International Taxation: nihil sub sōle novum
1
Authors: Kuźniacki Błażej
Published: September 2024

This article focuses on how the concept of beneficial ownership (BO) is determined and applied in international taxation. Although the article analyzes the concept of BO under tax treaties, i.e., the major source of law reducing or eliminating withholding taxation (WHT) on cross-border income at the source state, it is by analogy relevant to European Union (EU) law. The analysis aims to verify whether the meaning of BO in legal provisions regulating WHT on dividend income is the same as under provisions dealing with such taxation on other types of income (typically interest and royalties). The article answers that research question affirmatively, arguing that the concept of BO should be understood in the same way under all provisions concerning WHT on income. This argument follows from the observation that the concept of BO has one and the same income allocation function under these provisions. In contrast, the anti-abusive function should be essentially dismissed, especially in the presence of general anti-abusive rules such as the principal purposes test (PPT) or the general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR). This approach to determining BO is agnostic, and so it applies alike to WHT on income under tax treaties across the globe and EU law.

Indonesia signed the Paris Agreement in 2016, thus actively contributing to tackling climate change has an obligation to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The main factor of global climate change is the increase of GHG, especially carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). PT X is committed to supporting Net Zero Emission 2060 by encouraging programs that have a good impact on the environment and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) 13 and supporting the government in handling the climate crisis. The ranking of alternatives is carried out using two structured methods, quantitative analysis using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), considering environmental, economic, and social aspects. used to help make decisions for the implementation of carbon mitigation mechanisms. From the observation of the previous implementation, carbon emissions in the production process were quite high. So it is necessary to make effective carbon mitigation efforts. There are three criteria that influence action decisions, namely environmental criteria, economic criteria and social criteria. The results of the weight value of each criterion are that the environment has the highest weight (0.61), followed by economic criteria (0.20) and social criteria (0.19) from these values indicate that environmental criteria are the most important criteria in decision making. The ranking results show that the Piston Modification Program and the Diesel Engine to Gas Engine Replacement Program are optimal options for short-term implementation. The Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) program should be considered for long-term investment, with the potential for large emission reductions and long-term cost savings.

Authors: Nasim Eman Sulaeman
Published: September 2024

Political stability in Central Sulawesi plays an important role in implementing conducive regional development. The relationship between political stability and development is very close where political stability creates an environment that is conducive to development. The level of political stability of a region directly influences its level of development. When an area experiences political instability, development will definitely be disrupted. Investors tend to be reluctant to invest because of the uncertain risks. Political stability allows the government to design and implement long-term policies that encourage sustainable economic growth and societal welfare. The role of Political Institutions in maintaining the stability of political institutions, such as parliament, courts and other government bodies, has a major responsibility in maintaining political stability through supervision, balance of power, and fair and transparent application of laws. Good regional government management will be able to unite various political interests and act fairly to help create a conducive political climate to support regional development. The role of Regional Government Management (Executive, Legislative, Judiciary), Political Parties (Parpol), social organizations (Ormas), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), press institutions, journalist organizations and the active participation of the community in the political process also have a big influence on political stability.

Tabanni Concept of Al-Qur’an Perspective: In The Study of Ijtima’i Interpretation
Authors: Malyan* Zulfia , Ghianovan Jaka , Ash Abil
Published: September 2024

This article aims to elucidate the issues that arise when individuals undertake the process of child adoption, with reference to the principles delineated in the Qur'an. The practice of treating a non-biological child as one's own is often deemed acceptable, this is evident from the prevalence of adoptive parents who assert their adopted children as their biological offspring. This study employs library research utilizing a thematic exegesis method. The analysis integrates interpretations from the "Al-Munir" exegesis by Wahbah Az-Zuhaili, the Ayat Suci Lenyepaneun exegesis by M. Emon Hasim, and the "Al-Mishbah" exegesis by M. Quraish Shihab on Surah Al-Ahzab verses 4-5. The findings indicate that "Tabanni," which means "considering someone else's child as one's own," clearly does not proscribe the act of adopting a child but rather prohibits the act of claiming an adopted child as a biological one. This injunction also seeks to abolish the pre-Islamic Arabian practice during the Jahiliyah era, wherein adopted children were considered biological. Muslims who adopt children are mandated to care for and love their adopted children as their own, with the stipulation that an adoptive father does not serve as the marriage guardian for his adopted daughter and that adoptive parents and adopted children do not have mutual inheritance rights.

The results obtained through the spearman rank test shows that there is a correlation between psychological status and blood pressure in the elderly at Banjar Kajeng Denpasar City with p=0,004, r=0,419 for the correlation between psychological status and systolic blood pressure and p=0,044, r=0,302 for correlation between psychological status and diastolic blood pressure. The contribution of psychological status to the increase in systolic blood pressure is 17,56%, while the contribution of psychological status to the increase in diastolic blood pressure is 9,12%. Psychological status is related to blood pressure, which means that if the psychological status value is high, then blood pressure will also be high. Implementation of special activities for the elderly, such as posyandu, exercise, and health education can be carried out to help maintain the stability of the psychological status and blood pressure of the elderly.

Hypertension is a disease of the heart and blood vessels characterized by increased blood pressure. Non-pharmacological efforts can be done by soaking the feet in warm water which can have a relaxing effect and dilate blood vessels. The aim of this study was to compare soaking feet in warm water mixed with lemongrass and salt for 10 and 15 minutes in hypertensive elderly at the Cempaka Putih Community Health Center. The research method uses an experimental two group pretest posttest design. Purposive sampling with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each group consisted of 19 respondents, tested using Mann Whitney. The results showed that the systolic pre-mean for the 10 minute group was 147,37 mmHg, and the diastolic average was 92,37 mmHg. The experimental group's 15-minute pre-systolic mean was 150,53 mmHg, with diastolic 88,42 mmHg. Post mean systolic results for the 10 minute group were 129,47 mmHg with diastolic 83,16 mmHg. In the experimental group 15 minutes post the mean systolic was 123,68 mmHg and diastolic 81,58 mmHg. The Mann Whitney test shows that there is a difference in the mean reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure with a p-value of 0,049 in systolic and 0,000 in diastolic.  The mean rank value shows a decrease in pre and post systolic at 10 minutes of 22,87 while at 15 minutes it is 16,13.  The results of the decrease in the mean diastole of the 15 minute group (11,23 mmHg) were smaller than those of 10 minutes (17,66 mmHg). It can be seen that the mean systole and diastole in the 15 minute group is smaller than 10 minutes, so it can be concluded that soaking the feet in warm water mixed with lemongrass and salt is more effective for 15 minutes in reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive elderly at the Cempaka Putih Community Health Center.

Entering a period of new normal, health protocols must still be applied to prevent infection, especially in pregnant women who are included in the vulnerable group. The implementation of the health protocol is an effort made by the government in preventing the transmission of COVID-19. This study aims to describe adherence to the implementation of health protocols for pregnant women during the new normal. The type of research used is quantitative descriptive research. The number of respondents in the study were 30 pregnant women who were selected by purposive sampling. The research instrument used was a compliance questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results showed that the average age of the respondents was 26,5 years, the average gestational age of the respondents was 25,6 weeks, the majority of respondents were in gravida 1 (primipara) of 46,7%, the majority had high school/vocational high school education (53,3%), the majority of respondents did not work (63,3%). The results of the compliance questionnaire show that the majority of respondents are in the compliance category with the application of health protocols of 63,3%. One of the causes is that there are still pregnant women who don't even comply with health protocols due to a lack of knowledge and awareness of pregnant women in preventing Covid-19, so an appropriate strategy is needed to increase adherence in implementing health protocols, namely by disseminating information and educating pregnant women about the importance of complying health protocols to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Cardiovascular disease is a major contributor to reduced quality of life and disability, with cases increasing every year. Cardiovascular disease has a long asymptomatic period, so prevention and control programs are very important, one of which is through disease risk assessment. This study aimed to identify the risk of cardiovascular disease in office workers in the next two decades. This research used a descriptive quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach and was conducted in one of the banks located in Gianyar Regency. The sample of this study was 30 employees who were selected using the probability sampling technique, which is total sampling. This study consists of anthropometric measurements and cardiovascular disease risk assessment using the Healthy Heart Score questionnaire, which focuses on assessing nine lifestyles that are known to be most effective in assessing cardiovascular disease risk. The results of the analysis showed that 46,7% of respondents had a high risk of cardiovascular disease in the next two decades and the other 40% had a moderate risk. Furthermore, lifestyle analysis revealed the majority of respondents did not consume fruit and vegetables as suggested (76,7%), most consumed sweetened drinks (67,3%), half did not engage in physical activity (50%), and half regularly consumed alcohol (50%) in the previous year. It can be concluded that most respondents have a high risk of cardiovascular disease in the next two decades assessed based on their lifestyle.
Maintaining Capability & Freedom to Manoeuvre with a Net Zero Navy

The need to reach Net Zero means that navies will eventually have to change fuel type. The ever-tightening restrictions and the court of public opinion will mean that the defence dispensation will ultimately not be applicable. However, the change in fuel brings with it various concerns that need to be overcome, especially for Survivability, Operability and Availability. The many options for alternative fuel, excluding nuclear, are all less energy dense and as such would impact on range and possibly capability. Capability is an area that should be impacted as a last resort, especially when considering the increasing technological landscape of both weapons and threats. Survivability can only be overcome by the choice of fuel, however Operability and Availability are within control. Taking ownership of fuel production would mitigate against both aspects, and offer military advantage at all levels of operations; from Grand Strategic to Tactical. The use of strategically located Floating Nuclear Production Ships (FNPSs), in international waters, would provide an at sea capability that means there is a reduced reliance on ports for fuel. Rethinking the well to wake pipeline and managing this entire chain organically offers significant advantages to both nation states and military planners and operators. Steady state and surge capacity, in both peacetime and war, offers freedom to manoeuvre for nations and their allies. Furthermore, by using ships rather than static structures the capability provides the potential to join a carrier strike group, thus increasing the total range and providing greater resilience of the fleet.
