Mengevaluasi Kembali Tatakelola Pemerintahan Daerah di Indonesia
Authors: Undang Gunawan
Published: June 2024

Dasar hukum tatakelola pemerintahan daerah di Indonesia telah mengalami 9 kali perubahan. Yang pertama kalinya adalah Undang-undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1945 Tentang Peraturan Mengenai Kedudukan Komite Nasional Daerah (KND). Sesuai dengan pilihan politik hukum, undang-undang tersebut diubah beberapa kali, dan terakhir – yang berlaku saat ini – adalah Undang-undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah. Perubahan-perubahan tersebut antara lain bertujuan untuk meningkatkan sistem tatakelola pemerintahan di daerah. Namun dalam pelaksanaan desentralisasi, dekonsentrasi, tugas pembantuan (medebewind), dan otonomi daerah masih banyak menemukan kendala mendasar, antara lain kemandirian daerah; seperti kemandirian anggaran yang masih tergantung pada pemerintah pusat (sentralisasi). Fenomena ini mirip dengan sitem sentralisasi di era Orde Baru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fenomena tersebut. Metode kualitatif digunakan dalam enelitian ini dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan (1) Pengaturan tatakelola daerah telah mengalami 9 kali perubahan sejak Indonesia merdeka (1945), terakhir Undang-undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah. (2) Beberapa asas sudah digunakan sejak tahun 1945; terutama asas otonom (otonomi), namun pengertiannya lebih luas daripada otonomi di era penjajahan Belanda, yakni kemerdekaan untuk mengatur (vrijheid van regeting) sebagaimana lazimnya negara merdeka. (3) Kedudukan eksekutif dan legislatif mengalami penyempurnaan menuju sistem triaspolitika dan checks and balances. Sebelumnya (1948), mekanisme sistem pengawasan – misalnya – eksekutif (Kepala Daerah) mengawasi DPRD dan DPD (legislatif). (4) Pelaksanaan desentralisasi, dekonsentrasi, tugas pembantuan, dan Otda selama lebih dari 25 tahun sejak reformasi (1998) masih belum memandirikan daerah sebagai hakikat dari Otda. Kebaruan penelitian dapat berimplikasi pada perbaikan kemandirian daerah menuju otonomi seluas-luasnya, otonomi nyata, dan otonomi yang bertanggungjawab.

PROVING THE SECURITY OF AES BLOCK CIPHER BASED ON MODIFIED MIXCOLUMN
Authors: Tran Thi Luong
Published: June 2024

Block ciphers in general, Substitution-Permutation Network (SPN) block ciphers in particular are cryptographic fields widely applied today. AES is an SPN block cipher used in many security applications. However, there are many strong attacks on block ciphers as linear attacks, differential attacks, and algebraic attacks which are challenging for cryptographers. Therefore, the research to improve the security of block ciphers in general and AES, in particular, is a topic of great interest today. Along with security, the issue of the execution cost of block ciphers is also crucial in practice. In this paper, we clarify the role of the MDS matrix in increasing the branch number of the diffusion layer of the block ciphers, thereby improving the security of the block ciphers. We propose a method improving the security of the AES block cipher by changing the Mixcolumn transformation of AES using execution-efficient MDS matrices of size 4, 8, or 16. We present a method to find a new diffusion matrix of modified AES block ciphers from which to evaluate the number of fixed points and coefficient of fixed points  of the modified AES diffusion layers. In addition, we prove the branch number of the modified AES diffusion layers with MDS matrices of sizes 8, and 16. Then we also analyze the security, statistical standards and execution speed of modified AES block ciphers generated from those MDS matrices. The results show that our proposed method can significantly improve the security of the AES block cipher.

Published: June 2024

It's critical to track and anticipate diabetes in emerging nations like Vietnam, particularly for those with type 1 diabetes. This article proposes SDAPS, an AI-powered diabetes prediction technique. Our method is based on two ideas: (i) using the SFDM method to make the training data better by combining the oversampling of the Forest Diffusion Model with the SMOTE data balancing method; and (ii) making the GSDP model by stacking different boosting machine learning models together. We also suggest an AI-powered blood glucose monitoring and recommendation system based on SDAPS to provide diabetic patients with all-encompassing assistance with blood glucose monitoring, dietary counseling, physical activity, and the proper use of medications. Our thorough experiments using the Pima Indians diabetes dataset and the 5-fold cross-validation evaluation method demonstrate that SDAPS outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, with the following results: sensitivity, specificity, F1, accuracy, and precision: 98.03\%, 99.49%, 98.74%, 98.75%, and 98.00%, respectivelyOrder

Published: June 2024

The Son La hydropower reservoir (S.L.R.) is the largest water reservoir in Vietnam. Da River water has been treated for drinking and domestic purposes; water quality management is essential for the safety of ecosystems and human health. This study was conducted to determine changes in water quality indicators [pH, dissolved Oxygen (D.O.), total suspended solids (T.S.S.), chemical oxygen demand (C.O.D.), ammonium (NH4+), nitrite (NO2-), and coliform] in the Da River in 2010 and the Son La hydropower reservoir during 2014-2023. The results of mean annual values of Da river water quality and Son La hydropower reservoir were, specifically: pH (7.8; 7.4), D.O. (4.3; 6.2), T.S.S. (112; 5), C.O.D. (15; 8.7), NH4+ (0.17; 0.3), NO2- (0.009; 0.04), and coliform (1,723; 747). Water quality parameters significantly varied between rive and reservoir water: D.O., T.S.S., C.O.D., and Coliform. pH, T.S.S., and C.O.D. slightly decreased; however, Dissolved oxygen (D.O.), NH4+, NO2-, and coliform demonstrated an increasing trend during 2014-2023. The impact of the Son La Dam (S.L.D.) on water quality was relatively straightforward: increasing the concentration of dissolved oxygen and the self-cleaning ability of pollutants. Periodic water impoundment was divided (April to August) into a low water level of 175 m, impoundment (January to March), a median water level of 190m, and a high water level of 215 m (September to December) to period. However, the impact of the staged impoundment on water quality, especially in 2014-2023, remains unclear, except D.O., T.S.S., NH4+, NO2- and Coliform exceeded limits or were lower is not significant for living water under the Vietnam regulation, specifically: D.O. (5.36, 5.52; ≥ 6), T.S.S. (25.13; ≤ 25), NH4+ (0.3331; 0.3), NO2- (0.0504; 0.05), coliform (1,018.5; ≤ 1,000). Results from the current study provide valuable information for reservoir and river water pollution source management and reduce potential risks to exposed ecosystems, livelihoods, and human health.

Resumo: Neste artigo buscou-se discutir e analisar o ensino remoto de química de saneantes em tempos de Covid-19 e os discursos sobre os elementos da mídia, ciência e pandemia, com a implementação da educação para as relações étnico-raciais com estudantes da educação básica, no projeto de letramento racial, o projeto Afrocientista. Com aspectos de uma pesquisa afrocêntrica, a intervenção pedagógica desenvolvida ocorreu com estudantes da escola pública e de periferia da Grande Goiânia, no estado de Goiás. Os dados foram analisados a partir da hermenêutica da profundidade do dispositivo polirracional do conhecimento químico. Os resultados apontam que, mesmo frente às limitações do ensino remoto, foi possível discutir sobre o conceito de função alcóolica, ainda que com a dificuldade do movimento circular das dimensões do conhecimento químico, como também as interfaces dos meios de comunicação e do conhecimento científico diante da pandemia da Covid-19 e as vivências da população afro-brasileira.
Os imaginários sociodiscursivos do ensino de escrita da redação do Enem de influenciadores digitais
Authors: Rocha Lilian Karla , Ribeiro Maria Clara Maciel de Araújo
Published: June 2024

Resumo O avanço tecnológico proporcionou a criação de novos espaços de divulgação do conhecimento. Logo, discursos voltados para o ensino de escrita começaram a circular em plataformas digitais com o intuito de propagar conhecimentos relativos à escrita da redação do Enem. A partir disso, o objetivo deste estudo é delinear os imaginários sociodiscursivos que alicerçam o ensino de escrita da redação do Enem de influenciadores digitais, considerando a oferta da aprendizagem como uma mercadoria cultural. Para isso, utiliza-se uma abordagem qualitativa e explicativa, baseando-se na Análise do Discurso, de perspectiva francesa, sobretudo a partir de Charaudeau ( 2017 ), com contribuições pontuais da teoria crítica. Como corpus, foram selecionados três vídeos, tendo como critério as maiores visualizações no YouTube e a palavra-chave de busca: “redação Enem”. As análises apontam para uma movimentação de saberes de conhecimento que, ao serem tecidos, misturam a teoria sobre escrita de textos dissertativos com o manual do Inep e com as experiências próprias de cada influenciador com a prova discursiva do Enem. Esta proposta vaga de ensino de escrita revela uma objetificação do ato de escrever, transformando-o em produto a ser comercializado na medida em que, a partir da empiria, os influenciadores demonstram sucesso próprio no Enem.
MACHADO DE ASSIS, AFROPESSIMISTA: UMA POSSIBILIDADE HERMENÊUTICA?
Authors: SAMYN HENRIQUE MARQUES
Published: June 2024

Resumo Este ensaio investiga possibilidades de leitura da produção literária de Machado de Assis desde uma perspectiva Afropessimista. Em contraposição ao entendimento convencional do pessimismo presente na obra de Machado, ressaltado no trabalho de críticos como Sílvio Romero, Alcides Maya e Alfredo Pujol, sugere-se que o Afropessimismo oferece subsídios para uma compreensão do olhar radicalizado de Machado de Assis sobre as consequências da escravidão para a sociedade brasileira. Desde essa perspectiva, apresentam-se alguns apontamentos iniciais de leitura sobre os contos "Mariana" (1871) e "Pai contra mãe" (1906).
Gelatinous fibretracheids as an escape mechanism for the physiological drought phenomenon
Authors: Callado Cátia Henriques , Santos Gabriel Uriel Cruz Araújo dos , Barros Claudia Franca , Scarano Fabio Rubio , Costa Cecilia Gonçalves
Published: June 2024

Abstract Alchornea sidifolia is a tree species used in the regeneration of degraded forest environments and which grows in both non-flooded and flooded soils. We compared the wood anatomy of trees growing under both conditions in Atlantic Forest remnants in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to understand intraspecific aspects of the adaptation of tropical woody species to these conditions. Trees from permanently flooded soils showed wider, shorter, and less frequent vessel elements; wider fibretracheids, with a greater proportion of the gelatinous type; and a lower frequency of radial parenchyma, but with longer strands of axial parenchyma. These results indicate that A. sidifolia trees growing in permanently flooded sites do not show water deficit and that the species is capable of maximizing water use in this growth condition. This conclusion may be directly related to the greater proportion of gelatinous fibretracheids in flooded trees and is contrary to what was expected for wood anatomy of trees under physiological drought.

Published: June 2024

RESUMO Objetivou-se analisar a assistência à saúde bucal da população LGBTQIA+ sob a perspectiva do usuário, considerando a ausência de informação sobre a saúde bucal nessa população e as recentes mudanças na Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (PNSB), que fragilizaram avanços nessa área e possibilitaram retrocessos. Realizou-se estudo transversal descritivo, utilizando questionário semiestruturado autoaplicado on-line. Responderam ao questionário 359 pessoas, sendo elegíveis 329 (91,9%). Dessas, 38% eram gays, 23,4%, lésbicas, e 13,4%, transgêneros(as). A maioria tinha entre 18 e 39 anos (73,3%) e era negro(a) (51,4%). A prevalência de assistência foi alta nos cinco anos anteriores à pesquisa (92,9%), bem como nos últimos seis meses (44,7%); sendo mais baixa na população transgênera (88,7% e 18,2% respectivamente). Apenas 18,8% dessa população foi atendida na rede pública, sendo maior entre transgêneros(as) (45,5%) e negros(as) (25,4%). A autopercepção da saúde bucal para a maioria foi boa ou muito boa (53,2%); mas ruim ou muito ruim (45,5%) para os(as) transgêneros(as). A maioria informou preferir ser atendida por profissional LGBTQIA+ (69%). A população transgênera e negra foi a mais vulnerável à assistência, sinalizando que raça, gênero e sexualidade influenciam diretamente no acesso ao cuidado em saúde, portanto, o enfoque interseccional é imprescindível para organização do serviço.
Larry Laudan’s Critiques Regarding Social Constructivism
Authors: Silva Marcos Rodrigues da
Published: June 2024

Abstract Social constructivism can be taken as a broad sociological-philosophical approach of science which is introduced as follows: i) an explanation of the acceptance of successful scientific achievements ought to be done through the use of epistemological criteria and social community factors; ii) the knowledge produced by successful scientific achievements cannot be taken as a representation of reality. The social constructivist approach has always been strongly criticized by traditional philosophical conceptions of science because 1) an explanation of the success of successful scientific theories should be made only through the use of epistemological criteria, and 2) the knowledge produced by successful scientific achievements matchs to reality. This paper deals with the first criticism, by means of an expanded analysis of the debate between a representative of social constructivism (David Bloor) and a critic (Larry Laudan), based on the hypothesis that, although Laudan has pointed out some important limits to the scope of the social constructivist approach, the argumentative core of his critique does not hold itself, except as a prescription about the tasks that a philosopher of science must do.

This article aims to analyze the challenges imposed by the working conditions of CHWs in the context of digital health. It is a qualitative study, with triangulation of methods involving union leaders, managers and health professionals. The results indicate the re-emergence of old challenges surrounding the work of CHWs, such as greater bureaucratization, control, social and technical division of work. However, new challenges emerge around maintenance, quality of tools and professional training. In conclusion, there is a need for logistical, financial and political safeguards for the implementation of digital health in the work of CHWs.
Exploring Bhutanese teachers perceptions about extensive reading
Authors: Pem Kinley
Published: June 2024

The study empirically examined the Bhutanese teachers' perception of extensive reading. Thirty-four Bhutanese teachers responded to an online questionnaire and rated their level of agreement on extensive reading (ER) characteristics and the benefits of ER. Participants' questionnaire responses were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 1) majority of the teacher participants accepted most of the ER characteristics but showed disagreements with a few others that contradicted the widely accepted views of ER.  2) Most of the participants agreed with the ER benefits in the overall development of language proficiencies in terms of reading, writing, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, and motivation, and the majority disagreed with ER benefits of listening proficiency. However, the mixed results of the study indicated teacher participants' misconception of extensive reading. Therefore, these findings suggest a need for Extensive reading programs and workshops for Bhutanese Teachers to elucidate the misinterpretation of ER.

Authors:   People & Global Business Association, Dhrubajyoti Bordoloi Dhrubajyoti Bordoloi , Murathoti Rajendra Nath Babu Murathoti Rajendra Nath Babu
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess the knowledge and attitude of consumers towards various payment modes with special reference to digital payment methods in Nagaland State, India.
Design/methodology/approach: The study is based on primary data from students, scholars, government employees, and self-employed private employees of the Nagaland state of India. The data were collected through a questionnaire. The questionnaire was standardised by using the item analysis and the items generating unfavourable t-statistics were removed. The basic data were analysed by using descriptive statistics followed by interpretation of the results. In addition to that, inferential statistics was also used for hypothesis testing.
Findings: The majority of consumers were satisfied with the electronic payment option, according to the study's findings, which is encouraging for the country's lawmakers. However, consumers also make use of cash on a regular basis. Debit or credit cards are used by almost half of consumers for both in-person and online purchases. Consumers of both sexes and varying socioeconomic backgrounds have quite different sentiments about e-payments. Regarding e-payments, people with different educational backgrounds, marital statuses, management styles, and work statuses have the same attitudes.
Research limitations/implications: The study was conducted in Nagaland state of India and confined to only two districts. Convenience sampling technique was used in the study. This study considered only perception towards E-Payments. Similar study may be conducted by using some other variables. Furthermore, research that are cross-sectional and longitudinal can be conducted to delve deeper into the topic.
Originality/value: This study fills the apparent gap in the existing payment gateway system. It contributes to the body of research on adoption of new technologies, and specifically E- payment services. It provides with a better understanding of Consumer's attitude towards E-Payments.
Corporate Governance Mechanism for Carbon Emission Disclosure: Evidence from State-Owned Enterprises in Indonesia
Authors:   People & Global Business Association, Andi Ina Yustina Andi Ina Yustina , Christine Novita Dewi Christine Novita Dewi , Hadi Mahmudah Hadi Mahmudah , Hajanirina Andreanantenaina Hajanirina Andreanantenaina
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how governance-related determinants affect carbon emission disclosure; if yes, whether government ownership, board diversity, and firm size mediates the relation between these determinants and carbon emission disclosure. We test ownership structure and firm-specific characteristics (board diversity, audit reputation, firm size, audit quality, leverage, and return on asset) towards carbon emission disclosure.
Design/methodology/approach: Panel data analysis is used on a final sample of 120 firm-year observations of state-owned enterprises, having published sustainability reports with CED within the last 10 years (2012 - 2021). The direct and mediating effects were tested based on two econometric models and Sobel-Goodman test was conducted to check for the robustness.
Findings: Results find that government ownership and board diversity can be employed as a corporate governance mechanism to facilitate public, institutional ownership and audit reputation respectively, towards improved accountability and transparency of CED. Smaller firms with lower financial performance tend to be more motivated to participate in CED in order to attract investment.
Research limitations/implications: Several implications arise for various stakeholders including policymakers, and regulatory bodies interested in enhancing sustainability disclosure of firms through good CG mechanism, especially for firms with high government ownership. The findings of this research have wide implications in formulating an efficient CG mechanism for developing countries as SOEs are still prevalent.
Originality/value: This study proposes the role of government ownership and board diversity as a CG mechanism and contributes to the voluntary literature, in particular, the link between CG determinants and practices underlying CED.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, there exists an important digital divide which can have important implications for children's educational development. In particular, many children in the region lack access to the internet at home, which could potentially impact their academic and cognitive growth. The potential implications of lack of digital resources on childrens development took center stage during the school closures induced by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Let Us Rejoice by Drinking and Talking Beautifully: Sympotic Poetics as a Function of Culture
Authors: Borowicz Sebastian
Published: June 2024

The article explores the concept of sympotic poetics in European culture as a distinctive form of discourse. This tradition originated in the Greek civilisation during the archaic period as a technique for socialisation within aristocratic culture and subsequently developed in Roman culture during the imperial period. Sympotic poetics thrived in medieval and modern Europe, where new forms of literary games, rooted in the intellectual traditions of antiquity, emerged. The article examines the beginnings of scholarly literary discussion and reviews selected examples of sympotic discussion practices in European culture.
Les banquets du sodalitium Lugdunense : un idéal de sociabilité à la Renaissance
Authors: Laigneau-Fontaine Sylvie
Published: June 2024

Les membres du sodalitium Lugdunenses, des poètes épigrammatistes actifs à Lyon dans les années 1530–1540, ont écrit de nombreuses pièces symposiaques, à travers lesquelles se dessinent une société idéale, qui pratique l’art du banquet en respectant les règles établies par les Anciens. Pour les poètes et leurs amis, dans cet art du banquet se mêlent vin, conversation et plaisanteries. Ces échanges sont l’occasion de définir un mode de vie et des valeurs dont sont exclus ceux qui ne leur correspondent pas, mais qui offrent à ceux que l’on reconnaît comme ses pairs un espace de sociabilité où, loin de tout dogmatisme, se construit pas à pas un savoir auquel chacun est prié d’apporter sa contribution (ἔρανος) dans une atmosphère empreinte d’harmonie (ἐμμέλεια). Rien d’étonnant, dès lors, à ce que le « cercle d’Eranos » organisé par Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn s’inspire des banquets antiques et renaissants.
A magyar jegybank
Authors: Domány Gyula
Published: June 2024

It was almost exactly one hundred years ago, on 24 June, 1924, that Hungary’s independent central bank, the National Bank of Hungary, began its operations. Our editorial staff commemorates this anniversary by republishing a lecture given by one of the most eminent financial economists of the time, Gyula Domány, at the Hungarian Economic Society before the adoption of the law on the central bank. In our view, the article is worthy of attention not only from an economic history point of view, as many of its conclusions provide important lessons for today.
Lokális ágazatközi kapcsolatok – hibrid ÁKM Pécs városrégióban

Regional input-output tables (IOT) are increasingly used in economic impact assessment to support the design of sectoral policies. With the popularity of regional IOTs and increasing urbanization processes, there is a growing demand for sub-regional input-output modeling. Regional-county level analyses cannot account for the differences between urban economies and the specificities of their interconnections with other regions. However, estimating city-level IOTs is difficult due to the limited data available. This paper presents the steps of compiling a hybrid two-region IOT, based partly on a survey and partly on secondary data, covering the Pécs urban area and the rest of the country. The study concludes with an illustrative policy analysis assessing the sectoral development potential of the Pécs city region.

Episodic influxes of pelagic Sargassum into the Caribbean result in inundation of coastlines with significant negative impacts to the environment, society, and economy. The spatial complexities of this issue demand a strategy that combines spatial planning with an analytical framework that can systematically unpack the underlying factors to inform effective management. We test the application of the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) conceptual framework for disaster risk assessment to Sargassum inundation, with a focus on the hazard and exposure components of risk, using Barbados, a Caribbean Small Island Developing State (SIDS), as a case study. We first consider in general terms how assessment of hazard, exposure, and ultimately vulnerability would contribute to management and broader spatial planning. As a trial, we use publicly available remotely sensed images to develop Sargassum inundation hazard maps together with spatially explicit secondary data on fisheries, tourism, and coastal ecosystem assets to examine their exposure to this hazard. This research establishes a proof of concept for application of the DRR framework to Sargassum inundation. Despite the data poor environment, the resulting broad coverage, low resolution hazard and exposure map outputs are useful planning tools, and the approach provides a template for future iterations, replications, and/or expansions, while highlighting important data needs. This trial application should be of considerable interest to the many developing countries affected by Sargassum inundation who typically have low capacity and budgets for data collection and technological tools to support management planning necessary to deal with this emergent marine hazard.

Malaria drug resistance, both new and old drugs, causes severe symptoms and treatment failure. In order to develop new drug, we screen several plants that potentially used as antimalaria. This study aimed to screen and compare antimalaria activity of Citrus maxima, Anredera cordifolia, Solanum lycopersicum, combination Solanum lycopersicum-Malus domestica-Daucus carota in a mouse model. Balb/ c mice male were divided into six groups (n=5). The dried plants were extracted by maceration using 80% methanol. A 4-day suppressive test was done to ascertain the anti-plasmodial effect of those various plants. After inoculation with Plasmodium berghei, the treatment groups were given 1000 mg/kg of the extract, while 5% RPMI and DHP (Dihydroartemisinine Piperaquine) served as controls. The results of this study revealed that all extracts showed significantly lower parasitemia compared to the negative control. This study showed a percentage parasite suppression of 58.7, 84.3, 77.4, 61.4 and 83.9 % for Anredera cordifolia, Citrus maxima, Solanum lycopersicum, combination Solanum lycopersicum-Malus domestica-Daucus carota and Dihydroartemisinine Piperaquine, respectively. The highest parasite suppression (84.3%) was found in the group given Citrus maxima extract. This study concluded that the fruit extract of Citrus Maxima, Anredera Cordifolia, Solanum Lycopersicum-Malus Domestica-Daucus Carota have different antimalaria activity, Citrus maxima has the best potential as an antimalarial.

Anisakis is a zoonotic nematode that causes anisakiasis in Europe and Asia.Food safety has recently become a major concern for consumers; therefore, accurate identification of Anisakis larvae is necessary for the correct diagnosis of Anisakis infection in humans and fish and for improving food safety. From 2001 to 2023, Anisakis examinations were carried out in 33 areas of Indonesian territory. Morphometric Anisakis of Indonesia generally have a body length of 0.10-34.50 mm with a diameter of 0.30-0.42 mm. Based on morphological and genetic identification, identified six species anisakis in Indonesia (A. simplex, A. physeteris, A. pegreffii, A. berlandi, A. typica and Anisakis sp. HC-2005), or identified six Anisakis genotypes based on genetic identification, namely A. typica (s.s), A. typica var Indonesiansis, A. physeteris, A. pegreffii, A. berlandi andAnisakis sp. HC-2005. Decapterus sp., Thyrsitoidesmarleyi, Euthynnusafifinis, Auxis rochei, Gempylus serpens, Katsuwonus pelamis and Trichiurus lepturus have a high prevalence (>90%), indicating that they are often infected with Anisakis. Anisakis spread throughout the waters in Indonesia with various types of fish as hosts and A. typica is the predominant species in Indonesia.

Echocardiography is commonly used in veterinary medicine to assess cardiac structure and function in dogs. This case study was aimed to evaluate normal echocardiography of an adult Siberian Husky. Standard techniques, including B-Mode, M-Mode, and Color Flow Doppler, were carried out by using the Acclarix AX3 Vet USG and a micro convex probe 5-9 MHz. Examinations were conducted in the right parasternal and left apical positions. The results indicate that the six-year-old, 32 kg Siberian Husky in this study exhibited a normal heart. When comparing M-Mode echocardiography with the normal range for dogs of similar size, role, and weight, left ventricular internal dimension in diastole (LVIDd) was below the normal range, while left ventricular posterior wall in diastole (LVWPd) and left ventricular posterior wall in systole (LVPWs) were higher. These findings highlight the necessity for breed-specific reference intervals. This case study emphasizes the correlation between the normal echocardiography interpretation and canine cardiac function, as depicted by the value of ejection fraction (EF) 66.04% and fractional shortening (FS) 35.52%. The echocardiography results of the Siberian Husky in the study are comparable to reference interval values of similar breeds that are working dogs, making them valuable as reference values for future studies.
