Authors: S Dhinesh , Chittoria Dr. Ravi Kumar , J Bharat Prakash Reddy
Published: August 2024

Burn wounds are the major problem all over the world. Many therapies have been introduced for the management of burn wounds. Management of these wounds is often challenging. But there is no well-established method that accelerates the wound healing rate. Prolotherapy is a method that involves injecting some irritant locally in the wound that is claimed to fasten the healing. This article discusses about the role of prolotherapy in wound bed preparation.

Published: August 2024

Construction projects involve many parties and experts such as builders, contractors, designers, and consultants, which causes project arrangements to be complicated with many risks and uncertainties, including legal and financial risks. Legal risks include aspects of contracts, permits, certificates, claims, lawsuits, and sanctions. Conflicts or disputes can arise due to legal risks, which can lead to cost overruns and delays in project schedules. The project manager must be able to mitigate these risks in order to achieve the project objectives. This study uses descriptive qualitative and descriptive analytical methods to provide a detailed description of the research problem. The results showed that the risks adversely affect the legal aspects of construction, time, cost, and quality of the project. Legal risks in construction projects can arise due to several reasons, namely problems with documents and contract articles, lawsuits from third parties, and problems in acquiring project land. Good risk management is required to improve project efficiency, and project performance is improved when the organization can create a high fit between risk exposure and risk management profile.

Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze the impact of transactional leadership style and digital competence on the performance of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in the era of the digital revolution, with employee motivation as an intervening variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with a sample of 110 ASN from the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) at the Semarang City Transportation Service agency. Data was collected through an online questionnaire and used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to analyze. Outcome of the study show that transactional leadership has a positive impact on employee motivation and ASN performance. Digital competency has been proven to have a significant impact on improving ASN performance, both directly and through increasing motivation. Employee motivation acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between transactional leadership, digital competence, and ASN performance. These findings emphasize the importance of aligning transactional leadership styles with developing ASN digital competencies in facing the challenges of the digital revolution. The practical implications of this research include recommendations for leadership development programs and digital competency training for ASN, as well as strategies for increasing employee motivation in the context of government digital transformation.

Authors: Boukricha Noura , Bnouhanna Wadii , Rahmani Mounia , Benabdeljlil Maria , Aidi Saadia
Published: August 2024

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder, while multiple sclerosis (MS) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The coexistence of these two conditions is rare. Thus, patients with NF1 may exhibit signal abnormalities on brain imaging, referred to as focal areas of signal intensity (FASI), which can mimic lesions seen in MS and complicate the differential diagnosis. We present the case of a female patient suffering from progressive paraparesis, accompanied by urinary disorders and coordination disorders of the upper limbs. Neurological examination revealed a pyramidal syndrome and a cerebellar syndrome, with an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 7.5. Additionally, the skin examination showed multiple café-au-lait spots larger than 15 mm and numerous diffuse neurofibromas. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed white matter lesions typical of MS, and isoelectrofocalization of cerebrospinal fluid proteins revealed positive oligoclonal bands. The diagnosis was primary progressive multiple sclerosis associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. The aim of this case report is to document the association of these two conditions and discuss the challenges in differential diagnosis and treatment, as early diagnosis of MS is crucial to prevent further disability in patients with NF1.

All patients with computed tomography abnormalities, fractures of the vault represented 74.1% of cases, the base with 17.2% and in 8.5% of cases the fracture concerned both the vault and the base. The linear fracture interested the arch in 39.6% of cases. Pericerebral lesions were dominated by meningeal hemorrhage and extradural hematoma with 63.2% and 22.8% of cases. Hemorrhagic edema accounted for 81.7% of intracerebral lesions and in 12% of cases, intracerebral lesions were associated. Based on these data 48.3% of patients were operated on in neurosurgery. The mortality rate was 7.8%. Conclusion: CT remains the examination of choice in the management of craniocerebral trauma.
Akomodasi Kebutuhan Generasi Z Akan Penerimaan Tanpa Syarat Ditinjau dari Teori Client-Centered Therapy dan Pelayanan Yesus
Authors: Winarsih
Published: August 2024

Anggapan beberapa kalangan Protestan injili bahwa psikologi merupakan ancaman bagi umat Tuhan tidak terlihat jelas pada generasi Z Kristen. Mereka begitu terbuka terhadap konsep-konsep psikologi untuk kesehatan mental mereka. Salah satunya tentang kebutuhan penerimaan tanpa syarat. Perbedaan kedua anggapan tersebut melatarbelakangi dilakukannya penelitian pustaka terhadap kebutuhan generasi Z akan penerimaan tanpa syarat berdasarkan teori Client-Centered Therapy (CCT) dan pelayanan Yesus. Dalam artikel ini, penulis mengkaji kedua konsep tersebut guna menemukan titik temu sehingga para pembina rohani generasi Z dibekali konsep-konsep psikologi yang selaras dengan Alkitab dalam melayani generasi Z. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebutuhan generasi Z tersebut layak diakomodasi karena dapat meningkatkan kesehatan mental dan dipakai sebagai sarana menerjemahkan injil kepada mereka. Proses akomodasi yang sejalan firman Tuhan dapat dilakukan dengan pendekatan integrasi psikologi-teologi “mengambil dari Mesir,” yang menghasilkan pedoman-pedoman bagaimana mengakomodasi kebutuhan tersebut, khususnya menurut prinsip-prinsip pelayanan Yesus. Dengan demikian, pembina rohani melayani generasi Z dengan pendekatan yang holistik yang memberikan rasa aman untuk mereka terus bertumbuh dan beraktualisasi. Diharapkan tinjauan literatur ini akan menjadi awal dari penelitian selanjutnya untuk mengembangkan pelayanan yang holistik bagi generasi Z khususnya dalam konteks kalangan Protestan injili.
Benchmarking Service Delivery Effectiveness of the Service Providers of Poverty Alleviation Programs in Bangladesh
Authors: Tamgid Ahmed Chowdhury
Published: August 2024

In this study we have segregated the service delivery dimensions of the micro-credit driven poverty reduction programs in Bangladesh to explore critical success factors in which service providers [Government (GO) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs)] need to be effective. Then based on the opinion of 841 randomly selected beneficiaries from 107 villages in Bangladesh, we explored multidimensional ‘industry reference standard items’ which are most desired by the beneficiaries to ensure better service delivery from the service providers of the stated programs. Finally, by exploring the best practices in each reference item through comparing the service delivery effectiveness of government and NGOs, ‘industry benchmark’ for each item is proposed. Findings of the study reveal that NGOs are performing better in many fields of service delivery related to area coverage and skill of the front line workers even though government agencies were found to be more effective in several key issues related to transparency in operations and ensuring more beneficiary welfare. It is hoped that the rate of poverty reduction would be more sustainable if the policy makers of GO, NGO and other service providers can assure that they all maintain continuously rising and evolving industry standard by improving their services on those fields in which they perform below the industry benchmark.

Published: August 2024

The issue of liquidity crisis drew global attention during the recent global recession after several hundred of commercial banks, including few giants, across the globe turned bankrupt following cash starvation putting the savings of their consumers at great stake. Banking sector of Bangladesh faced the ripple effect of the global financial crisis quite heavily. The issue of adequate liquidity maintenance became a great concern for the commercial banks ever since. They felt the liquidity flow issue is of paramount importance to keep the banking system smooth. The study focused on the liquidity management of six commercial banks under two categories - Conventional commercial banking and Islamic commercial banking. A comparative analysis has been carried out to compare the liquidity position of the leading banks in Bangladesh from the period of 2007 to 2011. The analysis took into account both the short-term and the long-term liquidity position and also maturity-wise liquidity position of the six banks. The researchers also analyzed the liquidity position by using the key performance indicators (KPI) of those banks and observed that in case of maintaining liquidity, Islamic banks are in better position than the conventional banks.

Decolonisation and Downshift-Knowledge Reproduction in Africa
Authors: Aboluwoye Adegbite Simon
Published: August 2024

Colonialism established a system of racial oppression, both mentally and physically, by impeding pre-colonial African education, which was originally intended to reflect the realities of pre-colonial African societies. Before the colonial administration, Africans were already developed people with different educations for different age groups, making them functional and inclusive within the larger political sphere. Decolonisation only reflects a shift in political power and the withdrawal of colonialists from African territories, but it has not resulted in any fundamental shift in the mentality of political leaders and nation-building in the decolonised nations. The education curriculum left behind by colonial governments was designed to make African nations economically and technologically dependent on developed nations. Such a pattern of education was not geared toward African technological development, but rather conditioned African nations to be consumers rather than producers, with the resulting loss of initiative among the Africans. The curriculum is insidious in terms of principles and implementation across all levels of educational institutions, slowly destroying the economies of African nations that were once ahead of European nations during the pre-colonial epoch. Instead of accelerating the socio-economic development of decolonised African nations, the curriculum based on Western principles and ideas further subjugates African economies to imperialist influence and hegemony through the instrumentality of international financial institutions, which frequently dictate exploitative asymmetric relationships between the developed and developing African nations. African nations must therefore look inward for an African-oriented and culturally appropriate educational curriculum to meet the demand for socioeconomic advancement and growth.

Authors: Anjani Liza , Sinaga M. Harwansyah Putra
Published: August 2024

The large number of students who experience academic anxiety and the challenges they face in completing their final assignments are the impetus for conducting this research. Students who feel academic anxiety or also called academic anxiety due to lack of confidence in their abilities in carrying out academic activities, are generally motivated by several factors such as the desire to graduate on time, high parental expectations, and pressure from supervisors. The aim of this research is to reduce academic anxiety in final year students by using thought stopping strategies in group counseling. Purposive sampling is used in the pre-experimental design quantitative research methodology which has a one-group pre-test-post-test design pattern. Seven students with high levels of academic anxiety will be research participants. They will receive treatment in the form of group counseling using thought stopping techniques. Four sessions were held to conduct this research. T-Test statistical samples with SPSS For Windows Version 26.0 statistical software were used in the data analysis procedure. The findings of this study show the effectiveness of thought stopping strategies in group counseling to reduce academic anxiety. The acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is indicated by the results of the Paired Sample T-Test analysis which produces a significant probability value (2-tailed) < 0.05. It was found that after the final students underwent group counseling treatment using the thought stopping technique, there was a significant reduction in anxiety levels.

A possible way of enhancing biogas yield from substrates is through the introduction of inoculum in a form of biomaterial with potential of increasing microbial population. Therefore, this research evaluated biopotential property of maggots as inoculum in anaerobic digestion of substrates for biogas production. The substrates used in the study are chicken droppings (CD) and swine dung (SD). The experiment was set up using biodigesters, water tanks with collectors. Cube-shaped plastic kegs of 25 L was adapted as biodigesters. The biodigesters were batch loaded and filled to 75% capacity, amounting to 18.5 L working volume with retention time of 5 weeks (35 days). During this retention time, the ambient and substrate temperatures were measured daily including the biogas yield while the pH was measured weekly. The result demonstrated that pH was within the range of 6.80-7.31, which is found to be within the standard of 6-8 pH level considered suitable for existence of anaerobic bacteria. Similarly, the mean temperature varied between 28.3-35.2ºC which is found to be within the range of 25-35 ºC reported to be suitable for the necessary anaerobic bacteria to survive. Furthermore, the total biogas yield for substrates treatment with maggots were higher compared with substrates treatment without maggots. This is an indication that the maggots have potential to enhance biogas yield when used as inoculum in production of biogas. Consequently, biogas production at higher yield can significantly reduce the overdependence on fossil fuels and other non-renewable forms of energy.
DIVERSIONARY AND TERRORIST ACTIVITY OF UKRAINIAN MILITARY ORGANIZATION DURING YEARS 1921-1926 ON LESSER POLAND VOIVODESHIP
Authors: GIL Patryk
Published: August 2024

Stosunki polsko-ukraińskie były jednymi z najbardziej skomplikowanych w II Rzeczpospolitej. Można opisać je jako złożone, trudne oraz momentami historycznie bolesne. Aspiracje narodowe wschodniego sąsiada były sprzeczne z założeniami polityki niepodległej Rzeczpospolitej, co jeszcze bardziej komplikowało tę sytuację. Negatywna postawa wąskiej, ale ideowo znaczącej grupy Ukraińców, wraz z jej aktywnością terrorystyczno-sabotażową i propagandową skierowaną przeciwko państwu polskiemu, wyraźnie zagrażały poczuciu bezpieczeństwa Polaków. Artykuł traktuje o działalności Ukraińskiej Organizacji Wojskowej (UWO) na terenie Małopolski Wschodniej w latach 1921-1926 oraz jej negatywny wpływ na region i relacje między polską, a ukraińską społecznością. Celem artykułu jest zbadanie skutków akcji terrorystyczno-sabotażowych UWO w latach 1921-1926 na terenie Małopolski Wschodniej. Zdefiniowano następujące problemy badawcze: jaki stosunek miała organizacja nacjonalistyczna UWO do Polski i Polaków? Jakie metody i formy działalności UWO stosowało na terenie Małopolski Wschodniej w latach 1921-1926? Jaki wpływ miały skutki tej działalności na państwo polskie i Polaków? W oparciu o przeprowadzoną kwerendę naukową, analizując dostępną literaturę, przyjęto następujące hipotezy: po pierwsze organizacja nacjonalistyczna UWO od samego początku swojej działalności miała wrogie nastawienie do Polski i Polaków; po drugie w latach 1921-1926 na terenie Małopolski Wschodniej UWO stosowało liczne akty dywersji, sabotażu i aktów terrory-stycznych skierowanych przeciwko władzom polskim i Polakom; po trzecie działalność terrorystyczno-sabotażowa UWO spowodowała zagrożenie bytu państwa polskiego i znaczne obniżenie poziomu bezpieczeństwa wśród mieszkańców Małopolski Wschodniej. Zastosowano metodę analizy dokumentów w ramach badania literatury przedmiotu. Omawiając działalność UWO w kontekście międzynarodowym i stosunków polsko-ukraińskich, artykuł krytycznie ocenia skutki radykalnych działań nacjonalistycznych dla obu narodów. Od początku istnienia, nacjonaliści z Ukraińskiej Organizacji Wojskowej kierowali swoje działania wyłącznie przeciwko Polsce, domagając się prawa do reprezentowania wszystkich Rusinów/Ukraińców w granicach II Rzeczypospolitej. Niestety, skutki tego podejścia okazały się katastrofalne zarówno dla nich, jak i dla Polaków z Małopolski Wschodniej. Ostatecznie, praca podkreśla istotną konieczność pamięci historycznej i zrozumienia kontekstu, aby uniknąć powtórzenia błędów przeszłości i budować trwałe, oparte na zrozumieniu relacje między narodami w przyszłości.
No Consolation
Authors: Ridley David
Published: August 2024

We are living in an age of permanent crisis. Pandemics, war and climate change are just some of the unexpected yet predictable events shaping the world today. In this timely book, David Ridley examines how we collectively respond to these events, whether we face them bravely and intelligently or turn to nostalgia or utopianism. While politicians, corporations and intellectuals all fall prey to what Ridley calls «consolation», drawing on the work of John Dewey, a new generation is rising up to the challenge. Standing alongside teachers, posties, train drivers, refuse workers - young activists are part of an emerging, global movement saying «enough is enough» «This fiery, startling yet engaging polemic is an injunction to think and act together. Eschewing glib or easy answers, Ridley builds on his experiences as a political activist to think about how we got here, while visioning ahead to a near future of reaction, struggle and opportunity. Read this and be prepared to think it all again, upside down, inside-out – together. Rip it up and start again.» (Dan Taylor, Lecturer in Social and Political Thought, Open University and author of the Orwell Prize shortlisted book Island Story: Journeys Through Unfamiliar Britain) «An essential resource for the resistance now growing.» (Hilary Wainwright, Red Pepper co-founder and author of Arguments for A New Left: Answering the Free Market Right)
Solidarity and University – an Introduction to the Special Issue
Authors: Jendza Jarosław , Zamojski Piotr
Published: August 2024

There are many ways in which university is conceived of today. One of the most common discourses revolve around performativity, measurable accountability, excellence, learning outcomes and commodification of knowledge. The other path refers to a narrative of innovations, the story in
which research can bring about a real change in the world, that the creative spirit that comes with inquiring uncharted territories leads to civilisational progress and prepares students to an ever-changing reality. Yet, another perspective relates to the critique of the traditional, semi-feudal
and anti-egalitarian institutional culture of university. All these paths, and others alike, pertain to a monochromatic and exhaustive imaginary of the university. As if all students and academics were the same and united in pursuing one common goal.

Authors: Evans Matthew G. , Gaeta Pablo , Davidenko Nicolas
Published: August 2024

Memory for isolated absolute pitches is extremely rare in Western, English-speaking populations. However, past research has found that people can voluntarily reproduce well-known songs in the original key much more often than chance. It is unknown whether this requires deliberate effort or if it manifests in involuntary musical imagery (INMI, or earworms). Participants (N = 30, convenience sample) were surveyed at random times over a week and asked to produce a sung recording of any music they were experiencing in their heads. We measured the “pitch error” of each recording to the nearest semitone by comparing participants’ recordings to the original song. We found that 44.7% of recordings had a pitch error of 0 semitones, and 68.9% of recordings were within ± 1 semitone of the original song. Our results provide novel evidence that a large proportion of the population has access to absolute pitch, as revealed in their INMI.
