Authors: Nuraisyah Andini , Fuada Farha , Umbar Kisno
Published: June 2024

This research was conducted to investigate and determine the accuracy of the automatic correction system for Arabic texts. The focus of this research was the autocorrection system found in the Sahehly application, with analysis conducted on the harakat, tarakib, and grammatical aspects of the Arabic language. Accuracy is a very important part of an application system because accuracy can influence correct results and reduce the occurrence of errors. This study examined the review of the autocorrect system in the Sahehly application. The sample text used was the book of Fathul Qorib in the chapter of law and witnesses. The method used in this research was descriptive analysis with text study research design. From the results of the analysis, 3 words were found to be corrected with the application of Sahehly on grammatical aspects. However, when reviewed, the results of the Sahehly correction were less precise, and no changes needed to be made because they were correct. Then, the researchers found inaccuracies in 22 words that were given harakat by the Sahehly application. Thus, the presence of Sahehly is one of the developments of artificial intelligence (AI) in Arabic to provide harakat, but it is not fully perfect. Therefore, the use of Sahehly should be re-examined by referring to the knowledge that has been learned and referring to the available Arabic dictionaries and books.
Analysing the Pesantren Tradition of Arranged Marriages from the “Kupi Fatwa Trilogy” Perspective

Published: June 2024

This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of arranged marriage traditions in the Islamic boarding school world from the perspective of the KUPI fatwa trilogy. The KUPI fatwa trilogy, namely the ma’rūf (kindness), mubādalah (reciprocity), and true justice approaches, is used to investigate the phenomenon of arranged marriage traditions in the world of Islamic boarding schools. This article uses a library research method with a phenomenological approach which is analyzed using the KUPI fatwa trilogy. Therefore, the nature of this research is descriptive-analytical. Then data collection techniques come from primary and secondary materials. Meanwhile, the analysis technique uses Miles and friends’ qualitative data analysis techniques, which consist of data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the tradition of matchmaking in the Islamic boarding school world has given rise to two characters and models of matchmaking in the Islamic boarding school world, firstly the one-way matchmaking tradition which is coercive, and secondly the two-way matchmaking tradition which is not coercive. Salafi Islamic boarding schools which are still conservative still carry out the tradition of one-way matchmaking which is coercive and one-sided, by denying women the opportunity to participate and hear their opinions regarding matchmaking. This results in injustice and tyranny towards women, so the tradition of this type of arranged marriage is contrary to the KUPI fatwa trilogy, because women are positioned as objects rather than equal subjects. However, it should be noted that not all Islamic boarding schools follow the custom of one-way arranged marriage, instead, there is a more egalitarian custom known as two-way arranged marriage, where women are treated as subjects with the same rights and freedoms as men. This is in line with the KUPI fatwa trilogy, because the practice of matchmaking like this is a tradition of fair matchmaking and supports women in order to give birth to ma’rūf (kindness), mubādalah (reciprocity), and true justice. The Miftahul Huda II Bayasari Ciamis Islamic Boarding School is one of the Islamic boarding school institutions that perpetuates the tradition of two-way matchmaking which is non-coercive and in accordance with the spirit of the KUPI fatwa trilogy.

Therapeutic Implications of Stem Cell Secretome
Authors: Ho Jia Huey , Clayton Chu Jia Teng , Marek Kukumberg , Abdul Jalil Rufaihah
Published: June 2024

The stem cell secretome is a collective mixture of soluble and insoluble factors released by stem cells during paracrine communication and/or autocrine signaling. In addition to intracellular communication, these paracrine factors play an integral role in tissue development and generation, acting as the primary driving force in the regenerative properties of stem cells. Despite such great potential of stem cell secretome in therapeutic applications, the lack of secretome-based treatments available for the public at the time of writing is odd and puzzling. Hence, this review aims to provide insights into recent advancements in understanding the stem cell secretome, as well as discuss future possibilities and current limitations that must be overcome for the proper development of secretome-based therapies. Through utilizing the MEDLINE database from the National Library of Medicine® (NLM), we found that while there is much evidence of the therapeutic effects of secretome-based therapy, flaws involving regulations and standardization hinder it from revolutionizing regenerative medicine at present. It is cardinal to emphasize that while secretome-based therapy may be the solution for many untreatable conditions, much research is still required before it is approved for clinical practice.
DEVELOPMENT OF A CLASSIFICATION OF STRATEGIES FOR OPERATING ACTIVITIES OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE
Authors: Novykova Innola , Leshchynskyi Viktor
Published: June 2024

The article examines the issues of assessing the effectiveness of the strategy of the operating activities of industrial enterprises. The operating strategy of an industrial enterprise shows a method of production and sale of products that has certain quantitative parameters. The indicators of the enterprise's operating activity depend on the efficiency of the use of working capital, which ensures the uninterrupted nature of production and sales of products. However, the classification models of working capital management strategies that exist in economic theory are characterized by a number of significant shortcomings, the main of which is the lack of quantitative parameters that make it possible to draw a clear line between different types of strategies. We have proposed to build a production function in which the volume of production and sales of products is considered as a target indicator that depends on two factors – the volume of working capital and the duration of their turnover. The study of this function showed that, depending on the behavior of revenue, two main groups of strategies for the operation of an enterprise are possible – growth strategies and decline strategies, and depending on how exactly this happens, four options for growth and decline strategies are possible in each group: extreme – intensive and extensive, and intermediate – sub-intensive and sub-extensive. The classification model we have proposed for the eight strategies of an enterprise's operating activity allows, according to financial statements, to determine the type of operating activity strategy used by the enterprise in the analyzed period.
GLOBAL MONEY AND GLOBAL CURRENCY
Authors: Sharov Oleksandr
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to consideration of the possibility and necessity of the emergence of Global Money and the form in which it can exist. The author considers this problem both from a theoretical and practical points of view. In this regard, the problem is divided into two parts, which concern, respectively, Global Money (as an economic category) and Global Currency (as a form of their existence). The author assumes that real competition for Global Money can take place between the money of the past (commodity money, specifically gold), modern money (credit money of commercial banks) and future money (information/ smart money). As for the Global Currency, based on the current schedule of political and economic power, there is no real alternative to the US dollar in the next 1-2 decades. However, most likely, it can be expected that the form of functioning of the Dollar will be the CBDC of the Federal Reserve.
Successful Thai EFL Students and their Language Learning Strategies for Acquiring English If Clause
Authors: Pojprasat Somboon
Published: June 2024

The fact that English if clause is too difficult does not entail impossibility for EFL students to master it. In the Thai context, a few have managed to use it correctly despite persistent failure among many. The present study principally aimed to find out how successful Thai EFL students learned to acquire this grammatical structure by virtue of the language learning strategies (LLS). A group of 32 university English majors were individually given an oral test in which different types of if clause were under investigation, and afterwards a questionnaire to complete about their application of the strategies. Findings show an overall poor performance with only seven students who could pass the test. Mismatch between verb forms and meaning constituted the general typology of mistakes hypothetically as a consequence of negative mother tongue transfer as well as a lack of deep understanding and acquisition of the structures that was supposed to be internalized. Regarding LLSs, the use of mental pictures was found to be significant, the learning technique successful and less successful students applied differently (p = 0.029), hence the probable strategy that helps with their acquisition of the structures. Pedagogical guidelines for incorporating the LLSs into an EFL classroom were provided.

Published: June 2024

This research aims to determine the effect of using Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy techniques on increasing emotional regulation of homesick students in boarding schools. This research is motivated by the importance of students having good emotional regulation, especially for students in their first year at boarding schools who experience homesickness. Homesickness is a negative emotional state due to being separated from home which is characterized by longing and strong thoughts about everything related to home accompanied by difficulty adapting to a new environment. Emotion regulation is a way to free yourself from emotional pain. By regulating emotions, students' longing for their hometown will become more positive in dealing with problems in their lives. This research uses a literature study method with a time span of 2009-2022, with literature study researchers can collect various previous relevant research sources on the same topic. Based on the results of the guidelines, it shows that the application of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy techniques has an impact on improving emotional regulation. Thus, it is hoped that Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy can be applied to improve emotional regulation in students who miss their hometown at the boarding school.

Published: June 2024

Background: TBC1 domain family member 20 (TBC1D20) is important in male reproductive, eye lens function and neural system development. However, the role of TBC1D20 on reproduction in female mice remain unclear. Methods: As a prospective laboratory-based study, a mouse model with spontaneous functional mutations of Tbc1d20 (Tbc1d20-⁣/-) was employed to investigate the effect of Tbc1d20 on the fertility of female. Then the role of Tbc1d20 on postnatal female reproductive tract development and gonadal function was measured by immunohistochemistry assay and radioimmunoassay. A bilateral ovarian removal model and an artificial induced decidualization model were employed to reveal the function of Tbc1d20 on endometrial decidualization in vivo. Primary uterine stromal cells were isolated to evaluate the effect of Tbc1d20 on uterine stromal cell proliferation and the ability of decidualization in vitro. Results: Female Tbc1d20-⁣/- mice were infertile. Functional mutations of Tbc1d20 exerted no obvious changes on the function of ovary, structure of fallopian tubes, and ability of early embryo implantation. However, Tbc1d20-⁣/- mice presented marked reduction on the uterine size and weight at two-month-old, accompanied limitations on the myometrial thickness, the number of endometrial glands, and the density of blood vessels. Tbc1d20-⁣/- mice exhibited an impaired uterine decidualization phenotype in vivo. In addition, in vitro primary cell model indicated that the proliferation and differentiation of uterine stromal cells were retarded while Tbc1d20 loss of function. Mechanically, TBC1D20 deficiency triggered endoplasmic reticulum stress in proliferating and differentiating uterine stromal cells. Conclusions: The findings from this study indicated that TBC1D20 is necessary for normal postnatal uterine development and endometrial decidualization in mice.
The Role of FOXA1 in Human Normal Development and Its Functions in Sex Hormone-Related Cancers
Authors: Zhu Juan , Wei Yunjian , Deng Fangnan , Zhou Ying , Yang Zaijia , Ma Yanlin
Published: June 2024

Transcription factors (TFs) are essential proteins regulating gene expression by binding to specific nucleotide sequences upstream of genes. Among TF families, the forkhead box (FOX) proteins, characterized by a conserved DNA-binding domain, play vital roles in various cellular processes, including cancer. The FOXA subfamily, encompassing FOXA1, FOXA2, and FOXA3, stands out for its pivotal role in mammalian development. FOXA1, initially identified in the liver, exhibits diverse expression across multiple organ tissues and plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and tumor development. Its structural composition includes transactivation domains and a DNA-binding domain, facilitating its function as a pioneer factor, which is crucial for chromatin interaction and the recruitment of other transcriptional regulators. The involvement of FOXA1 in sex hormone-related tumors underscores its significance in cancer biology. This review provides an overview of multifaceted roles of FOXA1 in normal development and its implications in the pathogenesis of hormone-related cancers, particularly breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Study of Shear failure in beams and strengthening with bolted side plate (BSP)
Authors: Soltanpour Khazaei Sina
Published: June 2024

For various structural challenges, reinforcement is indispensable. This study investigates the method of strengthening reinforced concrete beams with bolted side plates (BSP). The model's validity is established using Abaqus finite element software and validated against Su et al.'s 2010 laboratory model. Fourteen models explore parameters such as different sheet widths, thicknesses, angles, and lengths. Results reveal that widening the sheet from 75 mm to 300 mm increases beam resistance from approximately 160 KN to 240 KN (33%). Similarly, using sheets with thicknesses of 6 mm and 9 mm results in resistance increases of 27% and 57%, respectively. Analysis of sheet angles (30, 45, and 60 degrees) indicates that lower angles relative to the horizon enhance stress tolerance in sheets farther from the support.
A neural fingerprint of adaptive mentalization
Authors: Bürgi Niklas , Aydogan Gökhan , Konovalov Arkady , Ruff Christian Carl
Published: June 2024

Mentalization – inferring other’s emotions and intentions – is crucial for human social interactions and is impaired in various brain disorders. While previous neuroscience research has focussed on static mentalization strategies, we know little about how the brain decides adaptively which strategies to employ at any moment of time. Here we investigate this core aspect of mentalization with computational modeling and fMRI during interactive strategic games. We find that most participants can adapt their strategy to the changing sophistication of their opponents, but with considerable individual differences. Model-based fMRI analyses identify a distributed brain network where activity tracks this mentalization-belief adaptation. Notably, the extent to which people update their belief about the other’s sophistication can be predicted out-of-sample from neural activity, providing a neural fingerprint of adaptive mentalization. Our approach illuminates the neural basis of mentalization ability and provides a new approach to assess these capabilities in healthy and clinical populations.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Mandibular third molars show the highest rate of impaction. Eruption status, position, and angulationare associated with different symptoms. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the mandibular third molar impactionpattern and associated symptoms.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 426 patients visiting a tertiary center in Gandaki Province. Data collection was done from September 2023 to April 2024. Intraoral examination and orthopantamogram were assessed. The impaction depth and ramus relation of lower third molars were recorded according to the Pell and Gregory classification. The angulation was documented based on Winter’s classification. The associated symptoms including pain, caries, pericoronitis, swelling, trismus, pus discharge, food lodgement, and halitosis were also noted. The frequency of level, angle, and depth of impaction were calculated. The chi-square test was used to assess the association of angulation of impaction with sex.
Results: The mean age of the subject was 33.77±8.86 (range 19 to 68). The most common angulation of impaction was vertical (35.68%) with Level A (46.47%) depth of impaction and Class I (46.47%) ramus relation. Pain (57.98%), distal caries in the second molar (15.49%), and pericoronitis (14.55%) were found to be the most commonly associated symptoms.
Conclusions: Class I vertical level A impaction was most common impaction in this study. Pain followed by caries in distal aspect of second molar and pericoronitis were the common chief complaint presented by the patients with impacted mandibular molars.

The purpose of this research is to delve into the detailed performance between the gender and digital participation in Panchkhal Municipality, which is located in the developing tech realm of Kavre District. The research investigates the subtle relationship between gender and digital dimensions, including self-rated digital literacy, internet habits, online safety mindfulness, and the desire to improve digital prowess. This research uses a combination of methods to access data from a field survey conducted within Panchkhal Municipality. This survey includes a wide range of participants, recording their gender preferences and digital behaviors. It also used quantitative analysis, primarily the Pearson Chi-Square test, to identify significant connections between gender and the examined digital factors. This method provides empirical support for a more nuanced sociological perspective on gender's role in forming digital interactions. The findings reveal intriguing patterns: gender has no influence on self-rated digital competence levels, but it does have a significant influence on internet use patterns, online safety awareness, and the desire to improve one's skills. These differences reveal gendered sections within tech engagement, implying that genders share inclinations while also having distinct choices, susceptibilities, and aspirations. Beyond the numbers, our research emphasizes the importance of fostering all-encompassing digital literacy initiatives that take gender differences into account. Furthermore, we advocate for just technological ecosystems while acknowledging the complex dance of norms in society, gender personas, and tech behavior. This study adds to our sociological understanding of how gender presents on the digital canvas by unraveling gender[1]infused threads interwoven into digital interaction. These insights transcend academia, guiding us to craft actions and policies that shape a more equitable, inclusive digital future in Panchkhal Municipality, Kavre Palanchowk district and beyond.

Published: June 2024

The socio-economic situation of Dnipropetrovsk region and the country as a whole in the conditions of the full-scale invasion of russian troops on the territory of Ukraine is extremely unstable. These years are trials for residents and all spheres of life in the region and the country. The article analyzes the main socio-economic indicators of the region's activity and compares them with similar indicators of the country's activity. The trends of changes in the main indicator of economic development, namely the gross domestic product, are considered. The values of the average monthly nominal salary of full-time employees of enterprises in the region are compared with the average monthly nominal salary of full-time employees of the country's enterprises.
The volumes of industrial products (goods, services) sold in the region were analyzed and their share in the total volume of the country was allocated. The trends of changes in the volume of export and import of goods and services of Dnipropetrovsk region were considered and it was proved that before the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the region was one of the leading exporters and occupied a leading position in the import of goods. The reasons for the decrease in exports today are highlighted. This is a violation of logistics, in particular sea logistics, the destruction of production infrastructure as a result of missile attacks, a decrease in production volumes.
It has been proven that the Dnipropetrovsk region is one of the most investment-attractive regions of Ukraine and has a very strong potential for development in all spheres of activity. Systematic work on the development of the region in previous years created a strong foundation for further movement forward.
Regarding the post-war reconstruction, the economic recovery should be taken as a priority. The global goal of this process is to create the right conditions for the effective generation of the country's gross product by business and the population. It is necessary to create favorable conditions for the recovery and development of small and medium-sized enterprises; develop models of enterprise development by types of economic activity, taking into account the impact of transformations in the economic, technological, organizational-management, financial, social and operational management spheres; improve the management mechanisms of the production, innovation, personnel, and financial potentials of the region's development; create a favorable environment for carrying out innovative activities; gradually move to a cluster model of development of the economy, ecological and social spheres, which will provide an opportunity to ensure sustainable development of the region, etc., namely to strengthen its competitiveness.

Published: June 2024

State regulation of entrepreneurship plays a key role in the formation of an efficient and stable economy, contributing to the creation of conditions for the development of entrepreneurial initiative, increasing investments and ensuring the stability of social and economic development of society. From the beginning, the introduction of martial law in Ukraine caused not only significant losses in the potential for creating added value, but also contributed to significant structural changes. Many Ukrainians left the country and moved to the west of Ukraine, reducing the number of economically active population that participates in the creation of added value. The logistical collapse of the economy occurred due to the blockade of seaports, the suspension of air traffic and the suspension of road and rail traffic in the territory where hostilities are taking place. Entrepreneurship faced significant obstacles, including reduced production capacity due to lack of human and material resources, reduced demand in conflict regions, as well as the physical impossibility of doing business due to hostilities and logistical problems, resulting in the inability to sell products for export. Thus, state regulation of business activity remains a relevant and important topic, especially in the conditions of martial law, the stability of the country and its ability to solve global challenges. The state is turning to reforms and new laws to ensure support for Ukrainian enterprises. State support becomes an important tool for stimulating business and maintaining its functioning in crisis conditions. A proposed model of state regulation of business activity under martial law, which includes mechanisms and tools to ensure the stability and efficiency of the economy during crisis conditions. The main tools of this model include: production and import quotas; intergovernmental agreements and bilateral agreements; market infrastructure and state support; resource provision and investment in innovation; regulatory and legal support, regulatory means.

Published: June 2024

This work elaborates on the applicability of environmental indica­tors of sustainable tourism CROSTO at the destination of the city Omiš (Croa­tia). Criteria of availability, reliability, clarity and feasibility were considered. Tourism share in energy consumption, water consumption, waste and waste­water generation, as well as the number of eco-certified firms, were analyzed. Findings suggested that CROSTO indicators are applicable for sustainable destination management in the city Omiš. However, additional efforts are indispensable in order to improve their availability and visibility. Finally, al­though a certain level of environmental sustainability of tourism activities in the city Omiš was detected, further improvements are required.
A Comparative Analysis of ESG Measures in Real Estate in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for 2019-2021
Authors: Gałkiewicz Dominika P. , Wollmann Bernd
Published: June 2024

In recent years, the issue of sustainability has evolved from a volun­tary environmental issue to an increasingly comprehensive set of regulations. The Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and the upcoming Taxonomy Regulation of the European Union (EU) are two examples of such regulations. EU taxonomy reporting is gradually becoming mandatory for more and more companies – these regulations include rules for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, and have a significant impact, especially on the real estate industry and its stakeholders. The goal of this study is to evaluate how consistently the 55 largest real estate companies in three European countries have disclosed information on topics such as employees, social factors, and governance issues, in addition to environmental concerns, between the years 2019 and 2021. Large companies are often better prepared for this because they have the resources and expertise for professional reporting. Regardless of the size of the company, however, the biggest challenge is still the lack of stan­dardization. The reporting on the following metrics has undergone significant changes during the observed period (2021 compared to 2019): E-measures: which standards are used (+260%), EPRA recommendations (+180%), Scope 3 t CO2e (+120%), S-measures: employee satisfaction (+100%), employees with permanent contracts (+67%), salary ratio of woman to man (+55%), G-mea­sures: own Sustainability Performance Index (+350%), UN SDG‘s included in the report (+300%), and Board Compensation tied to Sustainability measures (+150%). It is crucial for individuals, organizations, and politicians proposing new sustainability reporting regulations in Europe to recognize that overly complicated rules may not be followed entirely. Additionally, it is essential to maintain a consistent EU taxonomy reporting approach that is simple to im­plement in the future, regardless of the industry and the size of the company.
Competencies Related to the Web and Digital Accessibility
Authors: Kirinić Valentina
Published: June 2024

An important aspect of information technology (and digital infor­mation/content) should be and is its inclusiveness and openness to people with disabilities (PwD) as well as to all other people with special needs. Web and digital accessibility are the basics of digital inclusion, needed to assure equality in the digital world. Each profession should implement, support and promote accessibility in domains that it is responsible for. Accessibility is an important priority today for all. In this paper, the competencies related to the web and digital accessibility are analyzed and discussed. The goal of the study presented is to investigate, using in-depth content analysis, how accessibility is defined and described in information technology standards, recommenda­tions, models and frameworks of (digital) competencies.
Connecting the Dots: Crises’ Influence on Persistence and Financial Integration in Southeast Asian Capital Markets
Authors: Chambino Mariana , Dias Rui , Alexandre Paulo
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to assess risk diversification in the capital markets of nine Asian countries, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Ko­rea, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, China, and Taiwan. The research posed two main questions: (i) Did events in 2020 and 2022 create inefficiencies in these markets? (ii) If so, did autocorrelation of returns lead to increased linkag­es among these markets? The findings revealed the presence of autocorrela­tion, conditional heteroscedasticity, and nonlinear elements in the sample, suggesting persistence in returns during both tranquil and stressful periods. Consequently, the first research question was refuted, indicating that market (in)efficiencies were not significantly influenced by these events. Additionally, the analysis using the rhoDCCA method did not suggest integration between the markets, leading to the rejection of the second research question. These re­sults have implications for investors, regulators, and supervisors in these mar­kets, suggesting a need to consider measures that align with the random walk and martingale hypotheses in stock price creation.
Engagement of Computer Professionals (On the Example of Bulgarian Companies in the IT Sector): Incentives as Moderator
Authors: Koleva Velina
Published: June 2024

Employee engagement is linked to enthusiasm and passion about the job, identification with the company’s values and loyalty to the employ­er. It is directly dependent on the incentives applied by the management. We have conducted a study in Bulgarian IT companies to analyze how certain in­centives affect the engagement levels of computer professionals. Our main hypothesis suggests that intangible incentives have a stronger impact on em­ployee engagement than tangible ones. The means of collecting empirical data from respondents are surveys and in-depth interviews, and the statisti­cal method used is Χ² analysis.

COVID-19 caused significant changes in daily lives, including, but not limited to the limitation of movement and working from home. As a con­sequence of spending more time at home, more time is spent in front of in­ternet-enabled devices. This paper is trying to address whether the COVID-19 pandemic caused accelerated application of ICT in marketing in Montene­gro. One of the findings presented in the paper is that micro-companies had a significant increase in internet marketing budget, while mini-companies re­duced spending on it. Using data from original research, the clear conclusion is that the pandemic had such influence in Montenegro, especially in the field of e-commerce through increased presence in its own online shops.
