Research on the Synergistic Effect of the Composite System for High-Quality Development of the Marine Economy in China
Authors: Sun Zhenzhen , Guan Hongjun , Zhao Aiwu
Published: June 2023

The key to achieving the high-quality development of the marine economy (HDME) is to facilitate synergy through the coordination of marine elements. By adopting a perspective concerning complex systems, this paper presents a comprehensive framework—the composite system for high-quality development of the marine economy (CSHDME)—that synergistically integrates the five dimensions of “economy—technology—ecological—society—culture” in the marine domain. Building upon this framework, in this paper, we construct a CSHDME synergy evaluation index system using relevant data from 11 coastal provinces in China from 2010 to 2020. We utilize the subsystem orderliness degree model and composite system synergy degree model to calculate the degree of subsystem orderliness and degree of composite system synergy for the CSHDME as well as analyze the development status of the CSHDME subsystem and the degree of CSHDME synergy. The results indicate that: (1) the five-dimensional subsystem of the CSHDME exhibits an overall trend of year-on-year growth, with significant development disparities; (2) the degree of the synergy of the CSHDME is characterized by strong regional differences, strong fluctuations, instability, and low synergy; (3) the degree of the synergy of the CSHDME demonstrates the spatial evolution characteristics of low synergy, strong differences, strong fluctuations, and high agglomeration; and (4) the degree of orderliness and development speed of subsystems affect the degree of the synergy of the CSHDME. Therefore, measures such as the rational allocation of marine resources, accurate improvement of shortcomings, optimization of the spatial layout, and strengthening of regional cooperation should be considered to further promote the synergistic development of the CSHDME.
Spacetime as a Complex Network and the Cosmological Constant Problem
Authors: Nesterov Alexander
Published: June 2023

We propose a promising model of discrete spacetime based on nonassociative geometry and complex networks. Our approach treats space as a simplicial 3-complex (or complex network), built from “atoms” of spacetime and entangled states forming n-dimensional simplices (n=1,2,3). At large scales, a highly connected network is a coarse, discrete representation of a smooth spacetime. We show that, for high temperatures, the network describes disconnected discrete space. At the Planck temperature, the system experiences phase transition, and for low temperatures, the space becomes a triangulated discrete space. We show that the cosmological constant depends on the Universe’s topology. The “foamy” structure, analogous to Wheeler’s “spacetime foam”, significantly contributes to the effective cosmological constant, which is determined by the Euler characteristic of the Universe.
Misinformation about the COVID-19 Vaccine in Online Catholic Media
Authors: Israel-Turim Verónica , Laferrara Valentina , Rego Ana Regina , Micó-Sanz Josep Lluís
Published: June 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, online media were the most widely used sources of scientific information. Often, they are also the only ones on science-related topics. Research has shown that much of the information available on the Internet about the health crisis lacked scientific rigor, and that misinformation about health issues can pose a threat to public health. In turn, millions of Catholics were found to be demonstrating against vaccination against COVID-19 based on “false” and misleading religious arguments. This research analyses publications about the vaccine in Catholic online media with the aim of understanding the presence of information (and misinformation) in this community. An algorithm designed for each media outlet collected COVID-19 vaccine-related publications from 109 Catholic media outlets in five languages. In total, 970 publications were analysed for journalistic genres, types of headlines and sources of information. The results show that most publications are informative and most of their headlines are neutral. However, opinion articles have mostly negative headlines. Furthermore, a higher percentage of the opinion authors come from the religious sphere and most of the sources cited are religious. Finally, 35% of the publications relate the vaccine to the framing issue of abortion.
A Behavioural-Theory-Based Qualitative Study of the Beliefs and Perceptions of Marginalised Populations towards Community Volunteering to Increase Measles Immunisation Coverage in Sabah, Malaysia
Authors: Salleh Hazeqa , Avoi Richard , Abdul Karim Haryati , Osman Suhaila , Dhanaraj Prabakaran , Ab Rahman Mohd Ali ‘Imran
Published: June 2023

The development of the measles-containing vaccine (MCV) has rendered measles a largely preventable disease. In the state of Sabah in Malaysia, a complete course of measles immunisation for infants involves vaccinations at the ages of six, nine, and twelve months. However, it is difficult for marginalised populations to receive a complete course of measles immunisation. This present study used behavioural theory (BT) to examine the beliefs and perceptions of a marginalised population towards community volunteering as a method of increasing the immunisation coverage of measles. Marginalised populations living in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, more specifically, Malaysian citizens living in urban slums and squatter areas, as well as legal and illegal migrants, were extensively interviewed in person for this qualitative study. The 40 respondents were either the parents or primary caregivers of at least one child under the age of five. The components of the Health Belief Model were then used to examine the collected data. The respondents had poor awareness of the measles disease and perceived the disease as not severe, with some even refusing immunisation. The perceived barriers to receiving vaccinations included a nomadic lifestyle; issues with finances, citizenship status, language, and weather; failing to remember immunisation schedules; a fear of health care personnel; having too many children; and a lack of female autonomy in vaccine decision-making. However, the respondents were receptive towards community-based programmes and many welcomed a recall or reminder system, especially when the volunteers were family members or neighbours who spoke the same language and knew their village well. A few, however, found it awkward to have volunteers assisting them. Evidence-based decision making may increase measles immunisation coverage in marginalised populations. The components of the Health Belief Model validated that the respondents lacked awareness of the measles disease and viewed it and its effects as not severe. Therefore, future volunteer programmes should prioritise increasing the receptivity and self-control of marginalised populations to overcome barriers that hinder community involvement. A community-based volunteer programme is highly recommended to increase measles immunisation coverage.
SUCCESS CRITERIA FOR THE GRAPHIC DESIGNER
Authors: Homyakov E. , Kuprenko E.
Published: June 2023

Graphic design is a very young sphere of activity, in this sphere and profession there are no formed mechanisms of professionalism verification. Graphic design does not give a young designer any clear and understandable criteria, measures to assess their success. This study analyzes and defines the criteria for success of a graphic designer in today's world. The object of the study is selected and analyzed the statements of the most famous and successful designers. These discourses are related to questions of success, questions of evaluating one's own skill and personal experiences regarding the graphic designer's place in the profession. Comparative and generalization methods were used to achieve the goal. The aim of this study is to extract from the reflections of highly qualified professional’s ways to verify their own professionalism, their own success, and to formulate them for not yet recognized, young designers. In addition, an attempt is made to identify regulatory tools for aspiring professionals. As a result of the study, the authors form a new understanding of the professional and personal problems of graphic designers, comparing them with the problematization in design design. In addition, the authors arrive at a universal way of verifying professional success. As a result of this work, ideas about possible criteria of success in the field of graphic design are obtained.
Importance of Adding Objective Data to Stakeholder Data in Needs Assessments
Authors: Swinton Jonathan , Killian Tasha , Wray Paige
Published: June 2023

When completing a needs assessment, Extension professionals should include both objective county data and stakeholder input data. Specifically, Extension professionals should identify potential areas of need, source available objective data, source data from relevant county stakeholders, and analyze similarities and differences in objective and stakeholder data. Needs assessments should be conducted in this manner to confirm the needs of a county; address risk of data skewed by subjective stakeholder opinion, particularly in small counties; and identify areas of greatest need. This method has been shown to be effective through implementation in a target rural county.

Authors: Russell Mia , Andres Shandi , Barnhart Carolyn , Andres Deb
Published: June 2023

Emotional intelligence is a learned ability that can bridge emotions and decision making to help improve Extension program participant outcomes. Because decision making is not based on information and facts alone, emotional intelligence has the power to transform the way individuals think about, plan, and execute behavior changes as well as make informed decisions. We introduce and discuss the applicability of a five-step emotional intelligence framework for Extension programming as a means for integrating emotional intelligence into programs to enhance program participant decision making.
Sense of Belonging as Perceived by Youths Who Continue Participation in 4-H
Authors: DeCubellis Chris , Barrick Kirby
Published: June 2023

Sense of belonging is an essential element of a high-quality 4-H program. However, little research exists quantifying sense of belonging among 4-H club members. We measured perceived sense of belonging among Florida 4-H members in middle and high school as well as seven factors that influenced continued participation in 4-H. Parental involvement, 4-H events, and interactions with friends were factors important to participants' continued enrollment. Interaction with a caring adult was the factor most strongly positively correlated with perceived sense of belonging, suggesting the importance to retention of providing a framework that allows a new 4-H member to develop a positive relationship with a caring adult in a safe and inclusive environment.

Published: June 2023

For the purposes of more accurately reflecting job duties and increasing diversity, Ohio county agriculture and natural resources educator position descriptions were changed in 2013 to include natural resources as an educational qualification. We examined applicant and hiring data from 3 years before and 3 years after the position description change. Results indicate that the numbers of women applicants and applicants with natural resources degrees increased following the position description change. However, although the percentage of hires with natural resources backgrounds increased, the percentage of female hires decreased sharply. Factors influencing the hiring of county agriculture and natural resources educators need to be examined.

Published: June 2023

We explored ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has affected those who work in the agriculture industry in Hawai'i. Although economic hardship seems to be the obvious consequence, changes to the logistical and daily routines in the home also emerged as major impacts, and psychological effects may be even more distressing. Those who work in agriculture are an essential component of the agricultural and human ecologies to which land-grant universities are connected. Our findings provide valuable insights as to how Extension professionals across the United States may assist agricultural producers and farm families in their own communities at this time.

Prinsip Dasar Mekanisme Pasar Dalam Islam
Authors: Sarjan Muhammad , Siradjuddin Siradjuddin , Sabbar Dahham Sabbar Dahham
Published: June 2023

Islam is a perfect, universal and dynamic way of life in governing all aspects of human life, including Islamic principles in governing market mechanisms. Price provisions are left to the natural market mechanism. The Islamic system refuses to set prices by the authorities, because Allah is the one who determines them. The price that is formed must be in accordance with the forces of supply and demand of the market, therefore the price of goods cannot be set by the government, the price provisions depend on the law of supply and demand. The Islamic system strongly promotes fair prices by encouraging perfect market competition. In order to fulfill a fair price, it is necessary to have morality (fair play), honesty (honesty), openness (transparency) and justice (justice) and avoid all kinds of speculation. If these values are enforced, then there is no reason to reject market prices. The Islamic economic system still provides opportunities under certain conditions to carry out price interventions by the government when market distortions occur, both caused by natural factors and the deviant behavior of market players.

The disease in question is repeated defecation, more than four times, and the type of liquid stool, which can be accompanied by blood or mucus. Digestive disorders this disease occurs due to viruses, bacteria, or parasites. This disease is often underestimated because the symptoms are almost the same as diarrhea, so if it is not handled properly, it can endanger the patient's life, especially with conditions that are getting weaker and worse. This study aims to create an expert system application program that can diagnose Gastroenteritis, the results of which can show the disease suffered by the patient. 16 symptom data will be used, namely Fever above 38C, Chills, Headache, Nausea, Lack of appetite, Easy Drowsiness, Constant thirst, Watery stools, Discomfort, Stomach cramps/bloating, Dehydration, Weight loss, Diarrhea with blood, restlessness, weakness, no urine in the diaper for 3 hours or more. To demonstrate its confidence percentage, the authors chose the Fuzzy Logic and Certainty Factor methods as the basis for calculating the archival samples from the clinic with 100% confidence percentage. Based on the expert system trials and the resulting Certainty Factor values, it can be concluded that the expert system that has been created makes it easier to determine Gastroenteritis so that it can be handled properly and correctly.

There are many indications that show the performance of an employee, one of which is presence or attendance at work. In the institution of Universitas PGRI Wiranegara or UNIWARA, the employee attendance system still uses a manual system or is not modern. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, an attendance system based on no physical contact is the best choice. This study aims to develop an automatic attendance system without physical contact using Near Field Communication (NFC). NFC is a wireless computer network technology that uses radio frequency that allows you to connect without physical contact combined with applications developed using the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) method that can process data automatically. The final results of the study show that, from the tests carried out by this application, it makes it easy to make attendance without physical contact, where previously physical contact was still used. And in testing using Blackbox there were no errors, whereas when testing an objective system to respondents it was found that this system is easy to use, useful for users, has an attractive appearance, and is easy to understand.

Masih terbatasnya berbagai fasilitas kesehatan di Indonesia terutama yang menangani penyakit ginjal serta kurangnya pengetahuan dan informasi yang ada di masyarakat terkait gejala awal pada penyakit ginjal ini menyebabkan angka kematian yang disebabkan oleh penyakit ini setiap tahunnya terus mengalami peningkatan. Suatu sistem pakar yang dapat melakukan diagnosis penyakit ginjal sangat dibutuhkan untuk memberikan solusi atas permasalahan tersebut dengan harapan masyarakat dapat dengan mudah memperoleh informasi terkait gejala-gejala penyakit ginjal yang dialami serta masyarakat dapat melakukan diagnosis secara mandiri. Sebuah metode yang disebut faktor kepastian atau Certainty Factor (CF) dipergunakan pada sistem pakar dalam penelitian ini. Diagnosis penyakit ginjal berdasarkan berbagai gejala yang dialami oleh pengguna merupakan keluaran yang dihasilkan oleh sistem pakar ini. Berdasarkan gejala-gejala yang dimasukkan oleh pengguna, sistem kemudian akan mencari nilai CF yang paling tinggi dan selanjutnya hasil tersebut akan ditampilkan kepada pengguna. Hasil yang ditampilkan meliputi 17 gejala, nama penyakit, hasil diagnosis dan solusi. Pengujian fungsional yang dilakukan berjalan sesuai dengan yang diharapkan untuk ketiga hak akses yaitu admin, pakar dan pengguna dapat mengakses semua fungsi dan tidak ditemukan kesalahan pada sistem, baik menggunakan sistem operasi Windows 8 maupun Windows 10 untuk akses admin, pakar dan pengguna.

Empirically, the allocation of Village Funds has the potential to increase the output of infrastructure, health, and education, but is considered unable to improve welfare yet. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the assessment of the village community itself on the utilization of the Village Fund in their respective villages.  This study aims to obtain the perception of rural communities in the Central Java Province regarding the performance of the Village Fund over the last few years. This research was conducted using a survey method to measure people's perceptions and then presented descriptively. Aspects that were measured in this survey are the development of physical development, assistance to the community, the adequacy of basic community needs, village apparatus services, as well as accountability, and community participation. As many as 487 respondents from 28 districts in Central Java filled out this survey. The results of the study indicated that during the last period, the village has experienced significant physical development, however, aspects of assistance to the community and services to the community still need to be improved.

The Constitutional Court as the guardian of constitution is responsible for the implementation of fair national life as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. As in the controversy over the second revision of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law, the Constitutional Court needs to be present to guarantee the process of drafting, discussing and ratifying a law to know whether it has complied with the constitution or not. Thus, the mandate given to the Corruption Eradication Commission can be carried out in a directed manner based on the laws of eradicating corruption in Indonesia. The study applied normative juridical research methods with statute approach, historical approach, conceptual approach, analytical approach and philosophical approach. The research findings showed that the Constitutional Judge's Decision which stated that the appellants’ arguments were groundless according to law could not be justified and the Corruption Eradication Commission was weakened through this second revision of law

Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai the guardian of constitution bertanggungjawab atas terselenggaranya kehidupan bernegara yang berkeadilan sebagaimana amanah Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia 1945. Seperti dalam kontroversi revisi kedua Undang-Undang KPK, Mahkamah Konstitusi perlu hadir untuk menjamin proses penyusunan, pembahasan dan pengesahan suatu undang-undang telah sesuai dengan konstitusi. Sehingga, mandat yang diberikan kepada Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi dapat dijalankan secara terarah berdasarkan undang-undang yang telah diatur untuk memberantas korupsi di Indonesia. Menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normative dengan pendekatan undang-undangan (statute approach), pendekatan kasus (case approach), pendekatan historis (historical approach), pendekatan konseptual (conseptual approach), pendekatan analitis (analythical approach) dan pendekatan filsafat (philosophical approach) menghasilkan simpulan bahwa Putusan Hakim konstitusi yang menyatakan dalil para pemohon tidak beralasan menurut hukum, tak dapat dibenarkan dan lembaga KPK dilemahkan melalui revisi kedua Undang-Undang ini.

All over the world, Escherichia coli (STEC), which produces Shiga toxin, is recognized as an important zoonotic pathogen. Ruminants, particularly cattle, are their main reservoirs, but the role of small ruminants in the epidemiology of human infections has not been extensively evaluated in many countries. In this study, it was aimed to determine the Shiga toxin subtypes of Stx1, Stx2, eae and ehxa genes of Shiga toxin producing isolates within Escherichia coli strains in sheep and to determine the comparative effect of variables such as race and sex on them. In this study, virulence genes of STEC strains and Shiga toxin subtypes were identified in 215 E. coli isolates isolated from 272 rectal swab from 12 different sheep herds in and around Ankara. Of the 215 isolates, only 19 (8.84%) Stx1, 3 (1.4%) Stx2, 5 (2.33%) eae and 9 (4.19%) ehxa genes, 13 (6%, 05) Stx1-Stx2-ehxa, 5 (2.33%) Stx1-eae -ehxa, 3 (1.4%) Stx2-eae-ehxa together and 1 (0.47%) Stx1- eae, 30 (13.95%) Stx1- ehxa, 1 (0.47%) Stx2- eae, 15 (6.98%) Stx2-ehxa and 10 (4.65%) eae – ehxa were detected together. Of the 101 (46.98%) isolates, none of the Stx1, Stx2, eae and ehxa genes were detected. In stx1 subtyping in sheep, a high rate (82.35%) of stx1c was isolated. In stx2 subtyping stx2f (%62,86), stx2c (%54,29), stx2b (%45,71), stx2d (%22,86), stx2h (%22,86) subtypes are more common in different combinations. Detected at a high rate. These data indicate the presence of STEC in sheep and their potential to cause serious infection in humans
