Authors: Dwiyanti Heni , Imronudin Imronudin
Published: January 2025

Stock price fluctuations reflect market reactions to various factors, including company financial performance, economic conditions and investor sentiment. Understanding these factors is important for making better investment decisions. This study seeks to analyze the effect of financial performance on fluctuations in stock prices. Financial performance is assessed by the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER), Dividends Per Share (DPS), Earnings Per Share (EPS), and Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). This study's population consists of financial sector enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2023. A sample of 31 companies was obtained by purposive sampling. The data analysis employed multiple linear regression, the coefficient of determination, F-test, T-test, as well as classical assumption tests, all done using Eviews14 software. The data analysis results indicate that DER exerts a negative and minor influence on stock price fluctuations, but EPS, DPS, and DPR demonstrate a positive, also a substantial impact on stock price variations.

Introdução: A Displasia do Desenvolvimento do Quadril (DDQ) varia de instabilidades leves a luxações completas, influenciada por fatores genéticos, mecânicos e hormonais. Grupos de risco específicos, como recém-nascidos do sexo feminino, com apresentação pélvica e histórico familiar, demandam diagnósticos precoces usando ultrassonografia, radiografia e ressonância magnética para reduzir complicações e custos no sistema de saúde. Objetivo: Este estudo busca revisar o conhecimento atual sobre a DDQ, focando em avanços recentes em diagnósticos por imagem e estratégias terapêuticas para melhorar práticas clínicas e estabelecer diretrizes de intervenção eficazes. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura exploratória e qualitativa nas bases de dados PubMed, MedlinePlus, SciELO, LILACS e Google Acadêmico, cobrindo publicações de 2018 a 2023. Foram selecionados estudos que abordavam etiologia, diagnóstico e tratamento da DDQ, utilizando descritores relacionados e excluindo pesquisas anteriores a 2018 e aquelas não diretamente relacionadas ao tema. De 20 estudos identificados, 9 foram analisados em profundidade. Resultados e Discussão: A DDQ é impactada por múltiplos fatores, com destaque para riscos associados a gênero e posição fetal. O diagnóstico envolve avaliação clínica e suporte de imagens, como ultrassonografia nos primeiros seis meses, seguida por radiografias e ressonância magnética. No tratamento, órteses de abdução são efetivas no início; casos complexos podem requerer cirurgias para corrigir a anatomia. O uso de técnicas cirúrgicas inovadoras e anti-inflamatórios no pós-operatório mostram resultados promissores, embora necessitem de monitoramento continuado. Considerações Finais: O manejo eficaz da DDQ requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar envolvendo pediatras, ortopedistas, radiologistas e enfermeiros, crucial para o diagnóstico e tratamento adequados. Avanços tecnológicos em diagnóstico por imagem e cirurgia têm melhorado os desfechos, mas ainda são necessários estudos adicionais para preencher as lacunas no entendimento dos mecanismos subjacentes à DDQ. A implementação de protocolos de rastreamento e intervenções terapêuticas personalizadas são fundamentais para garantir a qualidade de vida das crianças afetadas.
Integration of Islamic Law into Local Governance: the Impact of Datuk Tellue’s Da’wah in South Sulawesi
Authors: Muh Yusuf
Published: January 2025

The Islamization of South Sulawesi, particularly in the Bugis-Makassar hinterland, represents a significant shift in Indonesia's religious and socio-political history. This article highlights the migration of Islamic scholars from West Sumatra to key kingdoms in the region, which contributed to the formation of new Islamic landscapes that were previously recognized only in localized contexts. The integration of Islamic teachings into local governance systems, particularly through Pangngaderreng, succeeded in establishing Islam not only as a religion but also as a foundation for state legislation. This paper examines the da’wah strategies employed by Datuk Tellue, including (1) da’wah bi al-Hal, (2) da’wah bi al-Lisan, and (3) da’wah bi al-Aqd, and their impact on cultural and political dynamics in South Sulawesi. The study reveals how Islam was interwoven with local traditions and governance structures to shape a unique Islamic identity in the region. Furthermore, the establishment of Islamic educational institutions and councils such as Parewa Sara played a critical role in ensuring the continued influence of Islam in South Sulawesi.
RESEARCH INTO TECHNOGENIC THREATS AT MINING AND METALLURGICAL ENTERPRISES AND JUSTIFICATION OF SAFETY MEASURES
Authors: Volodchenkova N. , Cheberiachko Yu. , Kruzhilko O. , Repin M.
Published: January 2025

Abstract: The article analyzes the issues of ensuring technogenic safety at enterprises of the mining and metallurgical complex, whose industrial facilities use flammable and explosive substances and materials. Accidents at these facilities can lead to large-scale fires and technogenic disasters. The purpose of the work is to study technogenic threats at enterprises that use, store and transport fuels and lubricants (for example, gas stations), as well as the use of modern information technologies to model the consequences of emergencies (fires, explosions) associated with violation of safety requirements.
The assessment of the consequences, scale and levels of development of an accident at a gas station is traditionally carried out using generally accepted methods using reference data. This approach entails significant labor costs for performers, unreasonably large time costs, and there is also the possibility of errors in the process of data preparation and processing. That is why, in modern conditions, it is recommended to use the specialized ALOHA program, designed to simulate common hazards associated with chemical spills, fires, and explosions. As a result of modeling the consequences of a gasoline explosion in a horizontal cylindrical tank of a gasoline truck, it was found that a potentially deadly zone for a person is a circle with a diameter of more than three hundred meters centered at the explosion site, and people can receive second-degree burns at a distance of more than four hundred and eighty meters. The use of the results obtained allows for an assessment of threat zones, as well as for substantiating preventive measures for industrial safety and emergency measures. Based on the requirements of regulatory documents and taking into account the results of modeling and research, preventive measures for safety and minimization of man-made threats are substantiated.

Authors: - Vrushabesh A C , - Akshaykumar V Hanagodimath
Published: January 2025

The rapid growth of the construction industry has intensified the demand for natural resources and led to substantial waste generation from construction and demolition (C&D) activities. This review addresses the dual challenge of managing C&D waste sustainably while reducing energy use and costs associated with recycling. The focus is on optimizing the recycling of C&D materials, such as concrete and steel, within the Indian construction context, where rapid urbanization has exacerbated waste management issues. The study employs Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) to assess the environmental and economic implications of using recycled versus conventional materials, with metrics including embodied energy, carbon emissions, and financial impact. Additionally, the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is used to determine efficient recycling routes and plant locations, demonstrating the advantages of recycled aggregates in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. This review promotes a circular economy model, providing a framework for sustainable resource management and a pathway toward reduced environmental impact in India’s construction sector.

Authors: - SATADRU SENGUPTA
Published: January 2025

The National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) plays a pivotal role in addressing student dropout rates and enhancing employability skills. This research explores how the NSQF, by integrating skill-based education with academic learning, provides an inclusive educational structure that meets diverse learner needs and aligns with job market demands. Through a competency-based structure, NSQF offers multiple entry and exit points in educational pathways, allowing students to pursue skill development without abandoning formal education, thereby reducing dropout rates. Additionally, the NSQF’s standardized levels encourage students to acquire industry-relevant skills, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical job capabilities. This study examines the framework’s impact on dropout reduction, skill acquisition, and job readiness among students, using data from schools and training centers implementing NSQF-aligned programs. The findings suggest that NSQF contributes significantly to workforce preparedness, creating a pathway for students to gain hands-on experience, achieve recognized certifications, and improve employment outcomes, ultimately fostering a more skilled and adaptable workforce.
An Evaluation of the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005
Authors: - Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Published: January 2025

The Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act of 2005, often referred to as PSARA, was created to regulate the fast-expanding private security sector in India. Its main objectives include improving accountability, fostering professionalism, and elevating operational standards across the sector. The Act mandates that private security agencies obtain licenses, conduct background checks on their personnel, and follow certain guidelines aimed at optimizing the structure of the industry. Despite these intentions, the implementation of PSARA encounters multiple challenges. These factors encompass differences in enforcement and standards across various states, a complicated licensing procedure that may hinder compliance, and an unclear definition of the responsibilities shared between private security agencies and police officers. Furthermore, PSARA falls short in addressing significant issues such as maintaining uniform training across the workforce, ensuring fair wages for the private security guards, regulating firearm possession among private security personnel, and implementing effective mechanisms for resolving grievances. This paper undertakes a meticulous evaluation of PSARA, illuminating both its advantages and its limitations. It advocates for necessary amendments to the legislation, aiming to close existing gaps and guarantee that the Act remains responsive to the evolving needs of the private security sector while upholding standards of public safety and community trust.
A Comparative Study of Abortion Laws in India and USA – With Special Reference to Women’s Rights and Reproductive Autonomy
Authors: - SREE DHAKSHINI T
Published: January 2025

The changes in the laws regarding abortion in India and the USA have a relation with societal attitudes toward women's rights and reproductive autonomy. India's Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act has evolved over time, allowing abortions under specific circumstances. However, the challenges persist due to centric and socio-economic factors. The USA established a constitutional right to abortion in the case of Roe-vWade decision in 1973 and Dobbs-vs-Jackson Women's Health Organization decision in 2022 which overturned federal protections leading to growing factors on rights over women's autonomy. Historical, cultural, and political factors determine the nature of the abortion laws in India and the USA. The Medical termination of Pregnancy Act empowers Indians-all women, irrespective of her being married or single-to undergo abortions before the completion of 24 weeks of gestation; however, this only recognises sovereignty as in all matters related to the female's reproductive health and life. The United States rolled back a century's worth of legal abortions in the decision case that led to the overturning of Dobbs -vs- Jackson Women's Health Organization after years of Roe -vs- Wade. It's going to increase the barriers coming under geographical location, socio-economic, and political consideration, which results in a problem in accessing the abortion service, which is provided both safely and legally, the amendment in India's Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act of giving importance to women autonomy related to abortion and US the Dobbs -vs- Jackson decision overturns the Roe -vs- Wade leading to restrictions for gaining access. Both countries in the present fight for reproductive justice and women's rights under the abortion laws have placed high emphasis on the aspect of fair access to reproductive health care.

Published: January 2025

The growth of the Internet, smartphones, social media, and other digital technologies has changed our world in many ways. With the expansion of technological facilities and systems, the mental well-being of teacher trainees is under more pressure than ever before. The study investigates the impact of technology on the mental health of 100 teacher trainees from a selected college of education, in Jammu city using a descriptive survey research method. A self-prepared questionnaire was employed to assess the impact of technology. The findings reveal that 67% of teacher trainees use 4 to 6 hours of daily screen time. 60% of them use smartphones frequently. 43% of teacher trainees use technology for work tasks, while 36% utilize it for educational purposes. Most of the teacher trainees 72% strongly agree that technology positively impacts their mental health by enhancing connectivity, access to resources, and providing motivation. Also, 28% of teacher trainees agree that technology has been linked to a range of mental health issues, including sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression due to excessive screen time and the constant barrage of notifications. The results of this review indicate that although technological interventions target some mental health and related problems. However, it helps manage and support mental health through various meditation apps, wellness workshops, and wearable devices with sensors. Hence, it is important to balance its use as technology is meant for use not for becoming its slave.

Traditions and Economic Advancements: A Study of Tirupati Tribes
Authors: - Dr.A.KUSUMA , - G. JANAKIRAMAIAH
Published: January 2025

Scheduled tribes constitute a small proportion of India's total population and remain marginalized in many aspects of society. Despite constitutional provisions aimed at improving their status, these communities continue to face numerous challenges. Tribal women play a significant role in contributing to family income through hard work, but they are constrained by limited income-generating opportunities. This financial limitation often results in the need for more family members to engage in labor, leading to a reluctance to send children to formal schools. The overall low educational attainment within these communities contributes to poor awareness of basic health conditions. Consequently, tribal women lag both tribal men and women in the general population in terms of education, employment, and health. This theoretical paper seeks to identify the specific challenges faced by tribal women and propose strategies to address these issues effectively. The findings aim to inform the implementation of targeted projects to improve their socio-economic conditions.
Dialect Contact and Change in Copular Forms in Bihar
Authors: - RANJAN KUMAR
Published: January 2025

Unlike most Western contexts, urbanization in Asian settings including India is not a unidirectional process (McGee, 1977). People continue to maintain close ties with the homelands through kinship and marriage practices thus impacting the outcomes of contact in ways that might run contrary to the larger expectations. Moreover, multilingual settings may not necessarily be centred on a single dominant centre of power or a prestige variety (Author, in press). In this paper, we report findings from our study of dialect contact in Bihar. Bihar is one of the eastern states of India which has been traditionally home to three closely related Indo-Aryan varieties, namely Magahi, Maithili and Bhojpuri occupying distinct regions as shown on the Map:

Two additional varieties have emerged over time known as Angika and Bajjika. Increased internal mobility across the state due to urbanization has resulted in increased contact across the dialect regions. The focus of the study is on four present copular forms: h-, ch-, chik- and ba- and their distribution across five varieties.

The findings suggest that contact over time has resulted in the redistribution of the copular forms across dialect regions resulting in newer variation and change in the use of be forms. There is evidence of an increase in the use of one of the copular forms in 4/5 varieties among the younger age group; this, however, has not eliminated the use of other forms thus maintaining the distinctness of each of the varieties.

Effect of Institutional Practices on Education Rights of Girls: A Case of University Female Students in Hodon District, Somalia
Authors: Barigayomwe Rogers
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the effect of institutional practices on the educational rights of female university students in Hodon district, Somalia, utilizing a mixed-method approach that combines qualitative and quantitative data. Through a descriptive research design, the study targeted a population of 32,149 individuals, including district leaders, cultural leaders, university administrators, and female students from three universities. A sample of 395 respondents was selected, and data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. Findings reveal a significant correlation between institutional cultural practices and educational rights, with a regression coefficient of 0.315 indicating that these practices account for 31.5% of the variance in educational rights. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirms the significance of these institutional factors, highlighting the critical role they play in either facilitating or hindering girls' access to education. Despite the existence of potential government policies aimed at promoting girls’ education, the study uncovers a lack of established procedures within institutions to effectively support female students. Qualitative insights further reveal cultural attitudes and institutional inertia that undermine the realization of educational rights for girls. This study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions that address both institutional practices and cultural barriers to enhance gender equity in education. The study recommends that local educational institutions develop comprehensive gender-sensitive policies, the Somali government prioritize training for educators on gender equity, and community leaders engage in awareness campaigns to challenge cultural norms. By implementing these recommendations, stakeholders can create a more inclusive educational environment that supports the rights of girls in the Hodon district

Authors: Lilian Asinai , Barigayomwe Rogers
Published: January 2025

This study examined the impact of legal actions against customers who fail to pay water bills on the performance of the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) in Uganda. Using a mixed-methods approach that included both qualitative and quantitative data, the research assessed the relationship between legal enforcement measures and revenue collection. The findings indicated that a significant percentage of customers (76%) do not understand the water bill payment regulatory law, contributing to revenue loss. Although 62.4% of customers believe that NWSC strictly applies the regulations to enforce payment, over 62.5% admitted that the corporation rarely takes clients to court for non-payment. Grounded in deterrence theory, the study posits that legal penalties can effectively deter non-compliance, enhancing financial sustainability. It highlights the importance of a strong legal framework to ensure timely payments, particularly in the context of increasing urbanization that strains resources. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive awareness programs about billing regulations and strengthening legal processes for debt recovery. The insights from this research aim to improve financial performance and ensure sustainable water service delivery in Uganda

Websites make it easier for us to find information or do our daily work. Almost all companies have websites, be it company profiles or application websites. With the development of technology, some programmers forget about website security. Websites with security weaknesses can be easily hacked, such as changing appearance to taking essential data. One thing to watch out for is external factors in the form of attacks carried out by hackers using the SQL Injection technique. This technique can find and take all databases stored on the website server. The purpose of this study is so that programmers and companies, in general, can be more careful with this attack so as not to experience losses from both the company and the consumer side. The results obtained in this study show that SQL injection attacks can cause significant losses because they can modify and take over the database on the attacked website. This tool also runs automatically so that laypeople without an understanding of hacking can carry out this attack. Thus, programmers can secure their websites using techniques to secure SQL Injection attacks.

Currently, soil moisture monitoring is only done manually, which is less accurate, even though sometimes we need a soil moisture monitoring tool to determine the soil water content in plants. This research uses a Soil Moisture sensor to measure soil moisture and the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller as the main controller. The system is designed to provide accurate and efficient soil moisture monitoring through the Internet of  Things (IoT). The integration of Blynk as a monitoring application offers easy access to real-time soil moisture data via mobile devices. This system is designed to help users monitor soil moisture in real-time using NodeMCU as the main platform and Blynk for user interaction. Through this system, it is expected that users can avoid the risk of water shortages by knowing the soil water content in real-time. Based on testing, this soil moisture monitoring product has a success rate of 88.2% for soil moisture accuracy and an average user satisfaction rate of 60%.

Published: January 2025

The scales of the gold-dust weevil Hypomeces squamosus are green because of three-dimensional diamond-type chitin–air photonic crystals with an average periodicity of about 430 nm and a chitin fill fraction of about 0.44. A single scale usually contains one to three crystallites with different lattice orientations. The reciprocal space images and reflection spectra obtained from single domains indicated a partial photonic bandgap in the wavelength range from 450 to 650 nm. Light reflected from {111}-oriented domains is green-yellow. Light reflected from blue, {100}-oriented domains exhibits polarization conversion, rotating the angle of linearly polarized light. The overall coloration, resulting from the reflections from many scales, is close to uniformly diffuse because of the random orientation of the domains. Using titania sol–gel chemistry, we produced negative replicas that exhibited a 70 to 120 nm redshift of the bandgap, depending on the lattice orientation. The wavelength shift in {100} orientation is supported by full-wave optical modeling of a dual diamond network with an exchanged fill fraction (0.56) of the material with the refractive index in the range of 1.55 to 2.00. The study suggests that the effective refractive index of titania in the 3D lattice is similar to that in sol–gel films. The study demonstrates the potential of replicating complex biophotonic structures using the sol–gel technique. Optimization of the sol–gel process could lead to customizable photonic bandgaps that might be used in novel optical materials.
Modelling Generative Learning Strategies in Formative Assessments for Preservice Teachers
Authors: Wickramasinghe Malka
Published: January 2025

This research aimed to analyze the assessment practices of novice teacher educators in initial teacher education to examine whether they incorporate generative learning strategies in their formative assessments to promote the lifelong learning skills of prospective teachers. Moreover, it further analyses how their assessment process provides generative skills to the preservice teachers to effectively assess their students in classrooms and that the preservice teachers become effective learners who design their learning trajectories to be competent practitioners. The study adopted a qualitative approach, employing multiple case study methodologies in the research design. The sample comprised twelve novice teacher educators from four National Colleges of Education, where professional preservice teacher training is conducted in Teaching English as a Second Language. The results showed that these novice teacher educators implement assessments that improve more productive skills than the generative skills of preservice teachers. It was revealed that the assessment tasks promote teacher learning yet lack the drive required to induce change in the preservice teachers’ practice protocol. The study portrays the effectiveness of generative rather than productive skills that novice teacher educators should incorporate in their classroom assessments.
