Kajian Yuridis Sanksi Penundaan atau Penghentian Jaminan Sosial pada WNI yang Tidak Bersedia Vaksin Covid-19 (Berdasarkan Perpes No 14. Tahun 2021)
Authors: Fitriadil Akhmad Kurnia , Ubaidillah Lutfian
Published: June 2024

Jaminan sosial merupakan wujud layanan negara kepada rakyatnya, yang disesuaikan dengan kemampuan finansial negara. Adanya sebuah wabah pandemi, pemerintah mengeluarkan kebijakan vaksinasi yang menyebabkan kontroversi di lingkungan masyarakat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengkaji mengenai sanksi penundaan jaminan social kepada masyarakat yang tidak bersedia vaksin covid-19. Metode penelitian menggunakan Pendekatan Perundang-undangan (statute approach) dan Pendekatan Konseptual (conceptual approach) dengan jenis penlitian yuridis-normatif. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa Penerapan sanksi terhadap individu yang menolak divaksinasi dianggap sebagai tindakan yang melanggar hak asasi manusia. Perpres No. 14 tahun 2021 tentang Pengadaan dan Pelaksanaan Vaksinasi dalam rangka Penanggulangan Pandemi Virus Corona dianggap bermasalah karena dinilai melanggar hierarki peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Selain itu, kebijakan tersebut juga dipandang bertentangan dengan prinsip hak asasi manusia yang mengakui bahwa setiap individu berhak mendapatkan jaminan sosial dari negara, serta hak setiap warga negara untuk memperoleh jaminan sosial. Dengan demikian, penolakan terhadap vaksinasi Covid-19 tanpa disertai dengan pemenuhan hak asasi manusia dapat menyebabkan ketidakadilan dan konflik antara kebijakan pemerintah dan hak-hak individu. Perlu ada keseimbangan yang tepat antara upaya penanggulangan pandemi dan perlindungan hak-hak individu agar kebijakan yang diambil dapat dijalankan secara efektif dan adil.

Project Management theories and Corporate Governance: Towards Effective Management of Small Farming Cooperative Projects
Authors: Mbulaheni M. H , Shipalana M. L
Published: June 2024

Project management is defined as the process of applying project knowledge, skills, tools and processes to the established tasks of a project to fulfil the objectives of the project. The planning, execution, controlling, monitoring and closure processes are guided by domains of expertise such as integration, scope, budget, schedule, quality, procurement, communication, human resources, stakeholder management and risk management. This paper sought to analyze theories of project management and corporate governance for effective management of small farming cooperatives. The study adopted a conceptual approach to demonstrate the managerial processes of the theories of project management and corporate governance and how they relate to one another. In the process the literature has revealed that project management is seen by organizations as new methods to plan and manage changes. These planned activities, if not properly coordinated using project management skills, may lead to an unsuccessful project. Project success depends on number of factors ranging from project efficiency, impact on the customer, impact on the project team impact and business or organizational success. The Corporate governance (CG) has been increasingly prevalent in organizations in recent years, and its significance is now acknowledged on a global scale. It has even been adopted by countries where regulations governing the use of CG in organizations have yet to be implemented. The reason for CG's universal appeal is that it serves as the cornerstone of an organization’s operational structure. The article concludes with the relevance of these theories towards effective management of small farming cooperatives.

Authors: Yodsurang Patiphol , Suthutvoravut Unyaporn , Pinijvarasin Wandee
Published: June 2024

There are challenges to community-based tourism (CBT) post-COVID-19, and some health measures still need to be taken to prevent the risk of people spreading the disease and remaining safe from infection. It is especially important for those in rural areas, who may have limited access to healthcare and other resources, and certain health measures can be taken to protect themselves and others. Nineteen tourism community cases from rural Ayutthaya were selected for study since their CBT recovered faster from the pandemic than in other provinces. Data were recorded and collected on the physical and actual conditions of the properties surveyed. Principal component analysis was then implemented to the dataset to clarify the major spatial management attributes contributing to decisions on the operation of the tourism community during a crisis. The study results revealed that multi-center tourism communities with several activity bases were more able to fully operate and quickly return to tourism. This pattern of community spatiality is a key factor in promoting resilience in the tourism community during and after the pandemic. The findings are expected to benefit the development of post-COVID-19 community tourism to suggest appropriate approaches for managing a geospatial tourism community.

Authors: Hui Leow Min , Terng Hoe Foo , Shuang Goh Chin
Published: June 2024

This study reviews the publication trends on Chinese as a second language, which indicates the current situation, research gaps, and potential directions for future research. This review examines Chinese as a second language journal publications produced by lecturers and researchers at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) since the publications are scattered without systematic organisation, making it difficult to determine which direction the research is headed and to foresee the topics of interest that will encourage future growth. This review conducted a systematic review of 75 journal articles published from 2013 to 2023, focusing on publication status and trends, co-authorship, and content scope. As a result, this study discovered a publication gap between general-UiTM-recognised journals and international-recognised journals. It proposed to broaden the expertise collaboration to international networking. This study also identifies population gaps, which urged conducting research at a wider range. In terms of content scope, research gaps were found in theoretical, conceptual, model, and tool-building research, as well as in-depth investigation of Chinese language, culture, and social studies. The incorporation of technology in future research is prospective due to the current rise in digital awareness. Moreover, learners’ behaviour in learning Chinese as a second language should be further investigated due to dispersive research. This systematic review contributes to the continuous development of researching and instructing Chinese as a second language in UiTM. It serves as a guide for other Malaysian higher education institutions with a similar research interest.
The Role of Extension Services in Implementing Livestock Policies
Authors: Ike Chika
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The general objective of the study was to explore the role of extension services in implementing livestock practices.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the role of extension services in implementing livestock practices. Preliminary empirical review revealed that extension services played a crucial role in the implementation of livestock policies by bridging the gap between policy formulation and practical application. Extension services significantly enhanced farmers' adoption of health and biosecurity measures, sustainable practices, and modern technologies. It was found that areas with robust extension services showed higher compliance with livestock policies, leading to improved productivity and animal health. The study recommended increasing investment in extension services, enhancing training for extension agents, and utilizing digital tools to extend the reach and effectiveness of these services.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Diffusion of Innovations Theory, Theory of Planned Behaviour and Knowledge Transfer Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the role of extension services in the implementation of livestock practices. The study recommended enhancing theoretical frameworks to incorporate socio-economic and cultural contexts of livestock farmers, improving the capacity and training of extension agents, and leveraging digital tools for wider reach and efficiency. It also advised increasing government investment in extension services, integrating them with other agricultural support services, and tailoring policies to local conditions. Additionally, the study emphasized fostering strong partnerships among stakeholders to create a supportive environment for farmers, thereby enhancing the overall impact of extension services and livestock policies.

Analysis and implementation of wireless communications systems and IoT with human body interference in inhomogeneous environments
Authors:   , Picallo Guembe Imanol
Published: June 2024

Currently, the deployment of 5G networks is advancing in order to meet the high communication demands of society. This, along with the massive growth of wireless IoT devices, will cause potential issues related to the interferences between communication systems and the communication of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to deployments in inhomogeneous environments. These environments can be indoor, such as homes, university campuses, auditoriums, hospitals, sports venues, and factories, as well as outdoor, such as cities and forests. Consequently, it is essential to model, characterize, and validate these environments for optimal deployment of WSNs, maximizing coverage while minimizing losses and interference. In order to achieve this, a deterministic simulation tool called 3D-Ray Launching (3D-RL) has been internally developed and utilized for radio planning tasks and channel modeling. Additionally, the impact of the presence of human beings has been considered in terms of the Quality of Services (QoS) of communication links. Modeling has been conducted in both frequency and time domains, enabling adequate characterization of multipath propagation, which is the most relevant phenomenon in these environments. This has facilitated deploying multiple wireless communication systems ranging from Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) to Wide Wireless Area Networks (WWAN) in these context-aware environments. This has led to the development of various test applications for monitoring basketball team training sessions or the round of golf players, localization of the load within a logistics plant, and patient monitoring in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Finally, radiating structures have been designed, implemented, and tested using innovative ink deposition techniques on flexible and sustainable substrates capable of operating within IoT systems and environments analyzed for the packaging sector.

Published: June 2024

Summary Introduction: In the treatment of deep throat infections, it is necessary to make a correct decision about surgical treatment. The aim was to observe trends and characteristics of patients requiring surgical treatment and to identify factors that predict the type of treatment. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study including pediatric patients hospitalized in the Children‘s Hospital of The University Hospital Brno with deep throat infections between 2010–2019. Studied parameters: age, sex, duration of problems before hospitalization, presence of dysphagia, odynophagia, impaired neck mobility, bulging of the pharyngeal wall, ankylostomia, respiratory problems, dysphonia, drooling, cervical lymphadenitis, sore throat, length of hospitalization, conservative or surgical approach, and well-being day. Laboratory investigations included CRP, neutrophil granulocyte count, and microbiological findings. Imaging examinations monitored the presence of phlegm or abscess, side, position relative to the great vessels and oppression of the great vessels, and size of abscess. Results: This study presents the clinical characteristics of 78 deep throat infections. Observed trends: patients with abscesses were younger, had higher CRP, and were hospitalized longer. Larger abscess statistically resulted in surgical treatment. Patients with phlegm had a shorter time to achieve comprehensive improvement. The incidence of an abscess is not related to gender. Boys had statistically significantly higher CRP and neutrophil granulocyte counts. The most common microbiological finding was Streptococcus pyogenes. Conclusion: Patients with abscesses were younger, had longer hospital stays, and had higher CRP. Key words children – deep neck infection – abscess
What we (don‘t) know about the texture-modification diet in dysphagia patients and how the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) could help
Authors: Kleinerová Markéta , Hrdinková Kateřina
Published: June 2024

Summary Texture-modified diet and thickening liquids are a therapeutic option for dysphagia. Many of the terms referring to liquid viscosity modifications and solid diet modifications are terminologically ambiguous and vague, e. g. “honey consistency liquid” or “soft-textured diet.” The inconsistent terminology adversely affects patient safety and the efficiency of the application of this therapeutic method. Possible misunderstanding of the vague terms between staff members can result in using a different consistency of the fluid or food from the consistency that was found to be safe during the objective swallowing examination. The International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) is seeking application of international standardized terminology for texture-modified foods and liquids for use in people with dysphagia of all ages, in all care settings, and in different cultural settings. The goal of IDDSI is to improve patient safety of oral intake and evolve the field of dysphagia research. Key words dysphagia – texture-modified food – thickened liquids – IDDSI

Authors: Tóth Bálinth , Sláviková Katarína , Tedla Miroslav
Published: June 2024

Sunmary Aphagia, as a common clinical symptom, demands thorough differential diagnosis with multidisciplinary collaboration. To gradually rule out the common causes of aphagia, the patient must undergo endoscopic and imaging examinations. A crucial modality is a CT scan of the cervical region, where even rarer diagnoses such as Fahr‘s syndrome can be revealed. Fahr‘s syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the presence of calcified deposits in the basal ganglia. The exact etiology is not yet known, with a presumed multifactorial influence of environmental factors and genetic mutations.

Protein and glucose serve as crucial indicators of potential maternal health complications and fetal outcomes during pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate protein and glucose level of pregnant women attending antenatal care in some health centre, in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. A total of sixty pregnant women between ages 16-45 who attended antenatal care in the selected health centres were randomly selected and their urine samples were collected and analyzed for protein and glucose levels using urinometre (combi 2). The result obtained for protein level ranged between 200± 14.0mg/dl to 350± 16.2 mg/dl while the glucose level ranged between 180± 11.0mg/dl to 200± 12.0mg/dl. The least protein level of 200± 14.0mg/dl were recorded among 7-9 months (3rd trimester) pregnancy, while the highest protein level of 350± 16.0mg/dl were recorded between 0-3 months (1st trimester). The least glucose value of 180± 11.0mg/dl was recorded among pregnant women that are in their 1st trimester, while the highest value of 200± 12.0mg/dl was recorded among pregnant women in their 2nd trimester. The result indicates significant fluctuations in protein and glucose levels across trimesters, reflecting dynamic metabolic changes during pregnancy.Factors like advanced maternal age, knowledge gaps, misconceptions, symptoms, and treatment-seeking behaviour highlighted in the questionnaire data can be considered as potential risk factors or indicators concerning protein and glucose levels during pregnancy. Addressing these factors through targeted education, early detection, and appropriate medical intervention is recommended in the study area to ensure an optimal pregnancy outcome
Joystick-Operated Ride-On Toy Navigation Training for Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Study

Published: June 2024

Importance: Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) require intensive task-oriented training to make meaningful gains in affected upper extremity (UE) motor function.

Objective: To evaluate the acceptability and utility of single joystick-operated ride-on toy (ROT) navigation training incorporated into a modified constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) camp for children with HCP.

Design: Single group pretest–posttest design.

Setting: Three-wk structured CIMT camp.

Participants: Eleven children with HCP between ages 3 and 14 yr.

Intervention: Children received group-based CIMT for 6 hr/day, 5 days/wk, for 3 wk. As part of camp activities, children also received ROT navigation training for 20 to 30 min/day, 5 days/wk, for 3 wk.

Outcomes and Measures: We assessed children’s acceptance of ROT training by monitoring adherence and evaluating child engagement (affect and attention) during training sessions. The effects of ROT training combined with other camp activities on children’s affected UE motor function were also assessed with the standardized Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) and training-specific measures of ROT maneuvering accuracy.

Results: Children demonstrated high levels of training adherence, positive affect, and task-appropriate attention across weeks. Positive engagement during ROT sessions was correlated with independent navigation. We also found medium- to large-sized improvements in QUEST scores and toy-maneuvering capabilities after the combined program.

Conclusions and Relevance: Our pilot data support the use of joystick-operated ROTs as child-friendly therapy adjuncts that can be incorporated into intensive UE training programs to improve adherence and motivation in therapy programs, boost treatment dosing, and promote affected UE motor function in children with HCP.

Plain-Language Summary: This pilot study offers promising evidence that supports the use of modified single joystick–operated ride-on toys (ROTs) for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP). The study used ROTs as one of several interventions that were part of a constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) camp program for children with HCP. The ROTs boosted children’s motivation, their engagement with and adherence to training, and their practice in using their affected upper extremity (UE) for goal-directed activities in their natural settings. ROTs are accessible, age-appropriate, and easy-to-use devices for both occupational therapy clinicians and families to encourage children to use their affected UEs by challenging their perceptual, motor-planning, problem-solving, and movement-control skills in an enjoyable and engaging way. ROTs can be used within and outside conventional rehabilitation settings.

Mục tiêu: Đánh giá kết quả sản khoa tiền sản giật không có dấu hiệu nặng ở bệnh viện Phụ sản Hà Nội năm 2022. Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu mô tả cắt ngang trên 125 phụ nữ thai phụ tiền sản giật đến khám và điều trị tại Bệnh viện Phụ Sản Hà Nội từ tháng 1 năm 2022 tới tháng 12 năm 2022. Kết quả: Nhóm TSG không có dấu hiệu nặng có 29 thai phụ (chiếm 23,2%), trong đó đa số được điều trị 2 ngày (chiếm 55,2%), dài nhất là 48 ngày. Trong đó có 1 trường hợp chuyển dạ tự nhiên, 28 trường hợp chấm dứt thai kỳ khi có chỉ định. Lý do chính mà 28 trường hợp có chỉ định CDTK là do điều trị nội khoa thất bại. Trong các trường hợp có chỉ định CDTK thì 96,4% thai phụ được mổ lấy thai; chỉ có 1 trường hợp đẻ đường âm đạo, chiếm 3,6% và không có trường hợp nào phải can thiệp thủ thuật forceps trong đẻ. Biến chứng cho thai chủ yếu liên quan đến sơ sinh nhẹ cân (<2500g) chiếm 58,6 % và non tháng chiếm 27,6%. Kết luận: Tiền sản giật là bệnh lý thường gặp ở độ tuổi sinh đẻ, nhóm thai phụ TSG không có dấu hiệu nặng có độ tuổi trung bình (30 ±7). Quản lý trước sinh và điều trị nội khoa cải thiện đáng kể kết quả sản khoa. Đẻ non, thai chậm phát triển và sơ sinh nhẹ cân là những biến chứng thường gặp cho con và cần được theo dõi, quản lý phù hợp ở những thai kỳ nguy cơ cao.
