Peran Masyarakat dalam Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan sebagai Pilar Negara Hukum
Authors: Yuni Putri Dewantara  , Agustin Widjiastuti
Published: February 2025

Community participation in the formation of laws and regulations is an important element in realizing a democratic legal system. Active community involvement in the legislative process is necessary to ensure that the laws produced reflect the needs and aspirations of the wider community. This research aims to examine the importance of community participation in each stage of regulation formation, identify obstacles in its implementation, and formulate strategic steps to increase the effectiveness of this participation. The results of the study show that even though there are legal regulations regarding public participation, their implementation still faces significant challenges, such as a lack of transparency, limited access to information, and a lack of formal mechanisms that support substantial public involvement. To overcome these obstacles, strategic steps are needed, including increasing the transparency of the legislative process, optimizing information technology for public consultation, institutionalizing participation mechanisms, and revising regulations that make community involvement a legal obligation. Collaboration between government, civil society and academics is also an important factor in creating more inclusive and responsive regulations. The conclusion of this research confirms that effective public participation not only strengthens legal legitimacy, but also increases public trust in the legislative system. With integrated steps, community participation can become the main pillar in creating a legal system that is fair, democratic and oriented towards the public interest.

Published: February 2025

Examining the primary determinants of employee engagement at a few private banks in Hyderabad is the aim of this study. To do this, a 15-question questionnaire was developed and pilot tested. The questionnaire used a Likert-type scale, where 5 denote strong agreement and 1 denoting powerful disssentment. Using Yamane's concept, a sample size of 384 respondents was chosen. Online methods were used to contact the responders. There were 255 responses in all, for a 67% response rate. Exploratory factor analyses were used to examine these replies. The scale's reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, which came out at 0.71, suggesting good construct reliability.. A correlation matrix was examined to ascertain if the information was appropriate for factor analysis, and it was found that many of the coefficients were 0.3 and higher. Additionally, the Bartlett test was significant and the KMO was 0.613. Five latent factors were found via exploratory factor analysis, incorporating the rotating component's varimax approach.

Authors: Dicko I , Al Et
Published: February 2025

Introduction: La chimioprévention du paludisme saisonnier (CPS) est le pilier de la prévention du paludisme chez les enfants de 3 à 59 mois. Sa mise en œuvre rencontre des obstacles comme la non-compliance aux dernières doses du traitement. Cette étude visait à déterminer la fréquence de la non-compliance aux deux dernières doses du traitement et les facteurs qui y sont associés. Matériel et méthodes : Une enquête transversale a été faite en novembre 2022 dans le village de Dangassa et la ville de Ouélessébougou auprès des parents consentant d’enfants éligibles à la CPS. Un échantillonnage en grappes a été réalisé pour choisir les ménages et les parents. Le Chi2 de Pearson a été utilisé pour comparer les proportions. Résultats : Le nombre total des participants était de 221 dont 100 (45,2%) à Dangassa et 121 (54,8%) à Ouélessébougou. L’âge moyen des participants était de 29,6±11,3 ans et 54,3% étaient non scolarisés. Les proportions de non-compliance à la 2ème dose (16% vs 11,6%) et à la 3ème dose (18% vs 14%), respectivement à Dangassa et Ouélessébougou étaient comparables (p>0,05). L’opinion des participants sur la CPS et leur niveau d’instruction étaient les variables significativement associées à la non-compliance (p<0,05). Conclusion : Les proportions de noncompliance aux deux dernières doses étaient élevées à Dangassa et Ouélessébougou. Le niveau d’instruction et l’opinion des participants étaient les facteurs associés à la non-compliance dans les sites d’étude. La conduite d’autres études est nécessaire pour mieux comprendre le phénomène de noncompliance.

Authors: Telly N , Al Et
Published: February 2025

IntroductionObjectif : Ce travail visait à identifier les facteurs associés à la positivité au VIH chez les nourrissons nés de mères séropositives au Centre de Santé de Référence de la commune IV de Bamako. Matériel et méthodes : Il s’agissait d’une étude transversale sur les données du 1 janvier 2018 au 31 Octobre 2021. Elle a concerné l’ensemble des nourrissons des mères séropositives accouchées dans le service de gynécologie-obstétrique et qui ont effectué au moins un test de diagnostic du VIH dans le cadre de la protection de la transmission mère-enfant. L’échantillonnage était aléatoire simple. Données ont été analysées sur le logiciel SPSS version 25.0. La confidentialité et l’anonymat des données étaient respectés. Résultats : Au total 215 nourrissons de mères séropositives ont été inclus dans l’étude. Le test de diagnostic de la Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR1) était de 2,3% (5 nourrissons). Les nourrissons avaient bénéficié d’un traitement prophylactique dans 93,5% des cas. Soixante pourcent (60%) des nourrissons séropositifs ont bénéficié d’un bilan initial et mis sous traitement antirétroviral. Le statut VIH des mères a été découvert avant la grossesse dans 76,3%, 14,4% pendant la grossesse et 9,3% lors de l’accouchement. La découverte tardive du statut positif des mères (p<0,0001). La période de mise de la mère sous traitement antirétroviral (p<0,0001) et le taux de CD4 des mères (p=0,035) étaient les facteurs associés à la séropositivité des nourrissons. Conclusion : Il y a une nécessité de renforcer les activités de dépistage systématiques de toutes les femmes vues en consultation prénatale ou pendant l’accouchement et d’assurer une bonne prise en charge.

Published: February 2025

Introduction : Les coinfections aux virus de l’immunodéficience humaine (VIH) et au virus de l’hépatite B (VHB) constituent un problème de santé publique. Objectif : déterminer la prévalence et l’évolution de la coïnfection VIH-VHB. Matériel et méthodes : Il s’agit d’une étude descriptive transversale à collecte rétrospective de Janvier 2011 à Décembre 2021 chez des patients coinfectés VIH-VHB, suivis à l’Hôpital National de Zinder (HNZ). Résultats : Au total 1410 personnes vivants avec le VIH (PvVIH) étaient suivies à l’HNZ parmi lesquels 91 étaient co-infectées par le VHB, soit une prévalence de 6,45%. Le sex ratio était de 1,16. Les patients étaient mariés monogames dans 54,94% (n=50), sans revenu fixe dans 85,71% (n=78), résidaient en zone urbaine dans 68% (n=62) et non instruits dans 59,34% (n=54). Le diagnostic était fait au stade de sida maladie dans 70,33% (n=64), avec des infections opportunistes dans 12,09% (n=11). Les patients étaient infectés par le VIH1 dans 98,9% (n=90). L’immunodépression était sévère (<200 CD4/mm3) chez 16,48% (n=15). La charge virale VIH était disponible chez 18,68% (n=17). Les patients n’avaient pas bénéficié de bilan initial pour le VHB. Le schéma thérapeutique associant le tenofovir diproxil fumarate, la lamivudine et l’effavirenz était utilisé dans 90,10% (n=82). L’observance thérapeutique était mauvaise dans 64,84% (n=59). L’évolution était marquée par une mortalité de 19,78% (n=18) et de perdus de vue de 28,57% (n=26). Conclusion : Le diagnostic de la co-infection VIH-VHB est très aisé même dans nos régions à ressources limitées. La prévalence de cette association ne semble pas très élevée. La mauvaise observance thérapeutique est associée à une mortalité élevée malgré une prise en charge bien codifiée, d’où l’intérêt d’une bonne sensibilisation des patients avant de les mettre sous traitement.
Education and intercultural experiences in the perspective of Protapi, a Yine anthropologist from Urubamba, Amazonia, Perú
Authors: Sebastián Caleb Alex Protapi , Arisi Barbara , Gordillo Sánchez Daniel
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the research conducted by Author1 an anthropologist and leader of the Yine-Yami indigenous group in Peru, in dialogue with the work of anthropologist Peter Gow, who studied Author1 people, originally referred to as the Piro, but who now they prefer to be called by the ethnonym: Yine. The article is based on Author1 investigation, which explores the tensions that arise when indigenous communities transition from oral traditions to non-indigenous formal spaces of learning, requiring them to acquire new logics and protocols for knowledge production. In addition to drawing on insights from other Latin American indigenous intellectuals, the article highlights the importance of analyzing the perceptions of indigenous people about their educational processes, particularly in the context of contacts with non-indigenous schooling influences. We suggest that Yine schools could give more attention and value to the Gimatkalchi, also studied by Gow. We also believe that non-indigenous schools and formal education settings could learn from indigenous people and pay greater attention to their knowledge systems.

The Platreef, northern limb of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, forms one of the world’s largest resources of platinum group elements (PGEs), with additional Ni-Cu-Co mineralization. It is widely considered that the Platreef formed via the emplacement of a series of discrete magmatic units; however, the relationship between this magmatic stratigraphy and the distribution of Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralization remains poorly constrained. This study constitutes the first in-depth examination of the Platreef magmatic stratigraphy at Tweefontein 238 KR, located directly north of the Flatreef extension at Turfspruit. Petrology and whole-rock and mineral chemistry define three magmatic units: the Upper Platreef, Main zone finger, and Lower zone transition, each displaying distinct pyroxene Mg# contents (79.6, 71.2, and 88.6 respectively), mineral assemblages, and bulk geochemistries. Updip the sequence thins considerably from >600 to <350 m, and contamination signatures of elevated CaO and FeO increase. However, local contamination is seldom evident in the PGE-bearing Upper Platreef. The intrusion of the overlying Main zone is proposed to have eroded the Upper Platreef considerably in some locations, locally reducing the economic viability of this mineralized horizon. The presented stratigraphy indicates that at Tweefontein (1) the Lower and Critical zone magmas are not necessarily separate and evolve from Lower to Critical over a distinct transitional zone, (2) there is only one main Critical zone unit that is host to the PGE mineralization, and (3) the Main zone not only forms a magmatic uniformity at the top of the Critical zone but also intrudes the Critical zone.
Development and Performance Evaluation of a Poultry Bird Defeathering Machine
Authors: Adetola Olufemi Adeyemi
Published: February 2025

The poultry processing industry is under high demand due to the increasing demand for chicken meat worldwide, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where manual defeathering is the norm. The primary objectives of this study were the design, construction, and performance evaluation of a chicken defeathering machine using locally accessible materials. Standard equations and formulae were used in the design of the machine's main parts, which include the electric motor, sheave, belt, pulley, bearing, feather plate, rubber fingers, cylindrical drum, and rubber pluckers. Fifteen cockerel chickens of different weights were evaluated at three different speeds of 450, 500, and 550 rpm in order to assess the performance of the chicken feather plucking machine. The data obtained was analyzed using Excel 13. The highest defeathering efficiency of 84.49% was recorded at a machine speed of 450 rpm, followed by a defeathering efficiency of 81.70% at a machine speed of 500 rpm, while the lowest defeathering efficiency of 80.98% was recorded at a machine speed of 550 rpm, respectively. The highest plucking time of 22.80 s was recorded at a machine speed of 450 rpm, followed by a plucking time of 20.40 s at a machine speed of 500 rpm, while the lowest plucking time of 19.80 s was recorded at a machine speed of 550 rpm, respectively. It will take an average of 21.00 seconds to defeat a medium cockerel used for the testing of the defeathering, which implies that the developed defeathering machine can defeat 171 chickens per hour. The machine is powered by a 5.5-hp, three-phase electric motor and has a production cost of $250, with the construction materials being locally available at affordable costs. The machine is recommended to both small and medium-scale farmers and food processors due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and improvement over the previous ones in terms of efficiency and capacity.

Authors: KANWAL A , KHAN S , MUNEEB A
Published: February 2025

COVID-19 in pregnancy presents unique challenges, particularly in the presence of liver dysfunction, including elevated liver enzymes and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). These conditions may worsen the disease course and contribute to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the impact of elevated liver enzymes and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) on the clinical course, severity, and outcomes of COVID-19 in pregnant women. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Punjab Medical College Faisalabad during June 2024 to October 2024. A total of 500 pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups: (1) COVID-19 patients with normal liver function, (2) COVID-19 patients with elevated liver enzymes, and (3) COVID-19 patients with ICP. Liver function tests, clinical outcomes, and maternal and fetal complications were analyzed. Statistical comparisons were made to assess the severity of COVID-19 symptoms and outcomes across these groups. Results: Data were collected from 500 patients, with no significant differences in age (31.4 ± 5.2 years vs. 30.8 ± 4.9 years, p = 0.24), gestational age at diagnosis (26.5 ± 4.1 weeks vs. 27.1 ± 3.8 weeks, p = 0.18), pre-pregnancy BMI (26.3 ± 4.5 vs. 25.8 ± 4.1, p = 0.15), or comorbidities such as diabetes (18% vs. 16.8%, p = 0.57) and hypertension (12% vs. 11.2%, p = 0.73). However, clinical outcomes differed significantly between the groups. The liver dysfunction group had a higher hospitalization rate (72%, 180/250 vs. 48%, 120/250, p < 0.001) and a greater proportion of ICU admissions (22%, 40/250 vs. 12.5%, 15/250, p = 0.02). Conclusion: Elevated liver enzymes and ICP in pregnant women significantly worsen the clinical course and outcomes of COVID-19. These conditions are associated with increased risks of severe maternal complications, adverse fetal outcomes, and the need for intensive medical care. Early detection and management of liver dysfunction in pregnant women with COVID-19 are critical for improving outcomes.

Published: February 2025

E-commerce has simplified customers' lives and offered a range of items, but it has also made them vulnerable to frauds. Fake news on e-commerce platforms threatens trust, brand image, and economic stability. Researchers have shown that contemporary Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning can stop bogus news. However, e-commerce companies still struggle to distinguish phony news from real information. Fast knowledge diffusion can cause financial loss, reputation damage, and customer distrust. Thus, e-commerce false news identification requires robust and trustworthy methods. This investigation will successfully recognize and discriminate fake news. High Feature Extraction uses Word2vec and Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) to extract features. The optimum feature subset is determined via feature selection utilizing the least absolute shrinkage and selector operator (LASSO). The study involves four phases: Extraction, selection, classification, and data processing are the four steps. To remove raw data, data preparation utilizes stemming, lemmatization, and stop word removal. The suggested method averages model outputs to reduce overfitting and improve prediction stability. DIstilBERT with multi-stacked LSTM is tested on WELFake and ranked by F1 score, sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity. The multi-stacked LSTM distiller has 99.77% accuracy, far greater than the others do. We can use it to detect bogus news. It boosts customer confidence and Internet commerce legitimacy by improving accuracy and consistency.

Cardiopathy is a critical health issue worldwide, accounting for a significant number of fatalities each year. Early and precise prediction of heart-related conditions can substantially reduce mortality rates and improve healthcare outcomes. Although traditional machine learning models have been employed in this domain, their performance often falls short due to challenges like overfitting, limited scalability, and difficulty in capturing intricate, non-linear data patterns. This paper introduces an improved methodology for heart disease prediction by employing advanced machine learning techniques, including deep learning networks, ensemble methods such as CNN and VGG16. Key components of the proposed framework include advanced data pre-processing methods for addressing class imbalance, sophisticated feature engineering driven by domain-specific insights, and comprehensive hyperparameter tuning for enhanced model performance The results of this study reveal significant improvements in predictive accuracy and reliability compared to conventional methods, paving the way for better integration of predictive analytics in cardiovascular healthcare. Future research will focus on integrating dynamic patient data from wearable devices and broadening dataset diversity to enhance the generalizability and fairness of these predictive models.

Published: February 2025

Introduction:

The publication rate of abstracts presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meetings has increased over the past 15 years. The purpose of this study was to (1) analyze and describe the characteristics of abstracts presented at the 2022 and 2023 AAOS Annual Meetings and (2) evaluate whether certain factors were associated with a higher likelihood of publication.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis of all abstracts presented at the 2022 and 2023 AAOS Annual Meeting was done based on the AAOS ePosters archive. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched to determine whether the abstract had been followed by publication in a peer-reviewed journal within 1 year of presentation.

Results:

A total of 1,987 abstracts were presented at the AAOS Annual Meeting; most were in adult reconstruction (30.1%), and 44% were published. Most studies had a level of evidence of III (71%), and the use of large databases increased between years (9.4% to 13%). Foot and ankle exhibited the highest publication rates among AAOS subspecialties (61%). Abstracts that were published had a markedly higher sample size and a higher rate of men as first authors (P < 0.001). Hand and wrist (30%) and practice management and rehabilitation (25.8%) had the highest rates of women as first and senior authors, respectively.

Conclusion:

We found that 44% of the abstracts presented at the 2022 and 2023 AAOS Annual Meetings resulted in publication. Although most abstracts were in adult reconstruction, foot and ankle had the highest publication rate.

Morphometric evaluation of bony nasolacrimal canal in Libyan adults in Benghazi using CT scan
Authors: Almashity Shahed , Karwad Mustafa , Araibi Osama , Alfitorey Arwa , Algadi Abdulaziz
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The nasolacrimal duct (NLD) consists of two segments: one surrounded by the maxillary bone and the other extending from the lacrimal sac to the bony nasolacrimal duct (BNLD) entry. Given its canal-like structure, the narrowest point of the NLD may play a crucial role in primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO). This study aimed to assess the anatomical characteristics of the NLD, specifically the proximal and distal bony diameters, as well as the length of the bony nasolacrimal canal, using computed tomography (CT). Additionally, the study sought to determine whether these parameters differ between males and females.
Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 413 individuals (145 females and 268 males) randomly selected from Benghazi Medical Center and Aljala Hospital. CT scans were used to measure the anatomical dimensions of the NLD. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), employing t-tests and one-way ANOVA to compare the parameters across genders and age groups, respectively.
Result: The length of the bony nasolacrimal canal was significantly greater in males than in females. However, no significant differences were found between males and females in the proximal and distal diameters of the bony nasolacrimal canal. Age groups showed no significant correlations with the proximal and distal diameters, but a marginally significant correlation was found between age and the length of the bony nasolacrimal canal.
Conclusion : This study offers valuable insights into the anatomical features of the nasolacrimal duct system. It highlights that, while there are no significant differences in the proximal and distal diameters between males and females, the length of the bony nasolacrimal canal is significantly longer in males. These findings enhance our understanding of anatomical variations in the nasolacrimal duct and could inform clinical approaches to managing nasal obstruction in adults.

Keterampilan motorik halus memegang peran penting dalam kesiapan anak memasuki usia pendidikan. Aktivitas-aktivitas seperti memegang pensil, menggambar, dan menulis menjadi bagian dari proses pembelajaran awal yang memerlukan penguasaan motorik halus. Menulis bukan hanya sarana komunikasi, tetapi juga melatih kemampuan berpikir kritis dan analitis. Namun, anak yang mengalami hambatan perkembangan motorik seperti pada anak cerebral palsy dan hidrocephalus, kegiatan yang melibatkan koordinasi mata dan tangan seringkali menjadi tidak optimal. Hambatan ini dapat mempengaruhi keterampilan motorik halus dan berdampak pada kemampuan menulisnya, sehingga penting untuk menyediakan alternatif strategi yang efektif dalam melatih dan menstimulasi perkembangan motorik halus serta koordinasi mata dan tangan mereka. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pengembangan media Tacto Board untuk mempersiapkan kemampuan pra menulis anak dengan melatih keterampilan motorik halus dan koordinasi mata dan tangan anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus untuk menggali efektivitas media Tacto Board dalam melatih keterampilan pra-menulis pada seorang anak dengan cerebral palsy yang disertai hydrocephalus. Subjek penelitian dipilih secara purposive, yaitu seorang anak berusia 5 tahun dengan hambatan motorik halus yang signifikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Tacto Board secara signifikan meningkatkan kemampuan menggenggam, presisi gerakan, fleksibilitas pergelangan tangan, serta kekuatan otot tangan pada anak. Kesimpulannya, Tacto Board efektif sebagai media intervensi dalam mengatasi hambatan motorik halus pada anak dengan cerebral palsy yang disertai hydrocephalus.

Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi rendahnya keterampilan berpikir kreatif dan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa di SMP Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur, yang disebabkan oleh pendekatan pembelajaran yang berfokus pada guru dan kurangnya kegiatan yang mendukung pengembangan kreativitas serta keterampilan pemecahan masalah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak model Problem Based Flipped Learning (PBFL) terhadap peningkatan keterampilan berpikir kreatif dan pemecahan masalah siswa pada materi Teorema Pythagoras. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain kuasi-eksperimental, dua kelas dilibatkan: kelas eksperimen yang menerapkan model PBFL dan kelas kontrol yang menggunakan metode pembelajaran konvensional. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes, observasi, dan wawancara, kemudian dianalisis dengan uji sampel independen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model PBFL berpengaruh signifikan terhadap keterampilan berpikir kreatif dan pemecahan masalah. Pada keterampilan berpikir kreatif, kelas eksperimen memiliki nilai signifikansi 0,029, sementara untuk pemecahan masalah nilai signifikansinya 0,046, keduanya lebih kecil dari 0,05. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa yang diajarkan dengan model PBFL lebih mampu menghasilkan solusi kreatif, berpikir fleksibel, dan menyelesaikan masalah secara sistematis dibandingkan dengan siswa yang diajarkan menggunakan metode konvensional. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa PBFL efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran matematika dengan menggabungkan pembelajaran mandiri di luar kelas dan kegiatan kolaboratif di dalam kelas, serta mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi yang penting untuk pendidikan abad ke-21.

Sejarah menginformasikan kepada kita bahwa sebenarnya Islam dulu (pada masa dinasti Abbasiyah) pernah mencapai puncak kejayaan peradaban yang gemilang karena upaya mereka yang sungguh-sungguh dalam mengembangkan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi. Puncak kejayaan peradaban tersebut telah memperkenalkan kepada kita ilmuwan-ilmuwan muslim yang mampu merumuskan ilmu sedemikian komprehensif dan integratif. Namun seiring dengan perjalanan sejarah, peradaban keilmuan itu beralih ke pangkuan Barat yang kemudian mengalami perubahan sifat sebagai akibat dari sekularisasi yang dilakukan atas ilmu itu sendiri. Semangat integrasi ilmu itu muncul karena adanya arus sekularisasi yang terjadi di Barat, yang menyebabkan terpisahnya sains/ilmu pengetahuan dari agama. Secara bahasa, sekularisasi itu sendiri berasal dari bahasa Latin, yaitu speculum yang berarti masa (waktu) atau “generasi”, yang secara istilah dimaknai sebagai “dunia masa kini”. Di dalam Classel?s Latin Dictionary seperti dikutip oleh Syahrin Harahap bahwa kata speculum itu merupakan lawan dari kata eternum yang berarti “abadi” yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan alam yang kekal abadi, yaitu alam sesudah dunia iniSam. pai di sini, dapat dimaklumi bahwa sekularisasi itu merupakan upaya pemisahan sesuatu dari nilai-nilai agama, termasuk pemisahan ilmu dari agama.
