Suspicion of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in A 7-Year-Old Madurese Boy: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Suci Rizalah Islamiyah  , Garata Dwi Yulia Nurul Putri
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disorder presenting in early childhood and characterized by proximal muscle weakness and calf hypertrophy in affected boys associated with a functional deficiency of dystrophin. The incidence of these cases reached 1 in 3500-6000 male births. Research at RSUPN Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) showed that DMD is the second most frequent neuromuscular disorder in children regardless there is no prevalence data available yet in Indonesia. It is quite complicated to diagnose DMD due to the limited facilities of genetic testing and its high cost.
Case Presentation: A 7-year-old boy came with the main complaint of weakness in both legs progressively two years before admission. He had to hold onto the floor and then both knees when started to stand. There was a history of motor and speech delay but family history was denied. Vital signs and nutritional status were within normal. Laboratory examination revealed significantly elevated levels of CK, ALT, and AST. The EMG result supported the presence of myopathy. Due to a lack of facilities, genetic testing or muscle biopsy could not be done. He received prednisone once a day with a 14 mg dose and was scheduled to attend regular physiotherapy.
Conclusion: In a limited facilities area, the clinician should have a suspicion of DMD not only by anamnesis and clinical features, but also by considering the elevated levels of CK and myopathies on EMG.

Authors:   Imo State University, Owerri, Igbozuruike Christopher I.
Published: August 2023

The role of micronutrient in organic Rice production was investigated in Ihitte Uboma LGA using Lowa and Ikperejere Rice producing plots. Organic Rice producing paddies and non-organic Rice producing paddies in Lowa and ikperejere were sampled during and after rice harvest. The sources of organic enhancement used by the farmers were poultry droppings, cow dung and pig waste which were occasionally mixed with wood shavings. And these are sources of nutrients as well as organic matter. Two (2) rice paddies in Lowa and Ikperejere area in Ihitte Uboma L.G.A in Imo state were used. Fallow (control) soil were sampled also for comparism. Samples were randomly collected from depth of 0-30cm using spade. The micronutrient investigated were Zinc, Copper, Iron and Molybdenum. AAS was used to analyze Micronutrients and physicochemical was done routinely. Rice were harvested at maturity. The findings indicated that organic rice cultivation significantly increased the concentrations of the micronutrients (Zinc, Copper, Molybdenum and Iron(40 Zn, 36 Cu, 10 Mo and 23 Fe mgkg1) elements investigated compared with the control Zn 15, Cu 12, Mo 8 and Fe 10 Mgkg1 and non-organic paddy (13 Zn, 8 Cu, 5 Mo and 8 Fe mgkg1 respectively. In all case, the nutrient levels are not below critical micro nutrient levels at which deficiency may occur. Further findings on yield indicated that organic plots performed better with mean yield value of 740 kg per hectare compared with 639 kg yield per hectare from non-organic plot. The yield advantage could be attributed to addiction of organic matter which not only supplies nutrients in forms needed by plants but also helps in water and nutrient holding and release, create site for soil biota activities and formation of chelates for micronutrients availability to plants. The soil is of moderate fertility.

Worldwide, with 100,000 to 200,000 flights per day, air traffic and passenger traffic have been increasing every day. As air traffic and passenger volumes increase, competition among airlines have also intensifying, and airlines develop and implement different strategies that take into account the wishes, needs and requirements of passengers to be prefer by passengers. In this study, the criteria affecting the airline preference of the passengers for domestic flights were determined and analyzed, based on the criteria that the airlines, which implement different strategies in order to be prefered, take into account. While determining the criteria, the airline preference criteria of the passengers on domestic flights (Turkey) were taken as basis. As a method, multi-criteria decision making technique, one of the qualitative research designs, was used. The data were obtained using the structured interview technique and the obtained data were analyzed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which is one of the widely used multi-criteria decision making techniques. As a result of conducted the analyzes, it has been seen that the price criterion is the criterion that the passengers pay the most attention when choosing an airline

O presente trabalho delimitou como objetivo compreender os efeitos das medidas não farmacológicas preconizadas pela OMS e suas interfaces no controle de casos de tuberculose. A respeito da tuberculose, consiste em uma doença infecciosa transmissível causada pelo bacilo Mycobacterium tuberculosis, propagada quando pessoas infectadas expelem o bacilo pelo ar, tossindo ou espirrando (HENTRINGER et. al, 2023). A doença possui evolução crônica que atinge os pulmões, mas também pode afetar outros locais. O tipo de pesquisa que adotamos para esse trabalho consiste em uma revisão narrativa a qual irá apresentar uma temática mais aberta, porém, exige protocolos rígidos para sua operância (GIL, 2002); Apesar de a seleção dos artigos ser arbitrária, torna-se necessário que o autor recorra a informações confiáveis para confecção do trabalho (GIL, 2002; CORDEIRO et al., 2007). Alguns dos nossos resultados de pesquisa demonstraram, como resposta ao objetivo deste estudo, produtos diferentes em variados estudos, isto nos remete a pensar em casos de subnotificações de casos devido à ausência de diagnóstico e por fim, podemos afirmar, com base na unanimidade que trouxeram em todos os estudos que foram avaliados, o uso das máscaras teve efeitos positivos no que tange o controle e disseminação, tanto do COVID-19 quando da Tuberculose.
SERVANT LEADERSHIP AS AN IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC FOR BASKETBALL COACHES AND BUSINESS LEADERS
Authors:   Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, BRANGA Vlad-Alexandru
Published: August 2023

Business and basketball organizations, although different from the point of view of their activity, have various similar characteristics. One of these characteristics is the fact that leaders can be found in both business and basketball teams. In addition, leadership is a much-researched aspect in both areas. The article focuses on servant leadership as it can help coaches and business leaders become more effective, it can allow them to help develop others more efficiently and thus, it can help them in gaining the trust of their followers, which can then lead to an improvement on the part of the team´s performance. That is why the aim of this paper is to provide an insight into how and why servant leadership can be considered an important characteristic for basketball coaches, business leaders and their respective organizations. By undergoing a literature review analysis on the topic of servant leadership in basketball and business, various similar aspects between coaches and business leaders have been identified. The results show that basketball coaches and business leaders are more easily followed, trusted, and respected if they apply a servant leadership style. More so, as some researchers pointed out, this servant leadership characteristic of basketball coaches and business leaders is yet to be fully accepted as a model for successful leadership in sport and not enough research has been undergone in order to examine how servant leadership affects the organizational culture. This can be considered as the main reason why further research on the topic is needed.
IFRS FOR SMEs: EVOLUTION AND DISCUSSIONS
Authors:   Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, MARINA Alexandra-Gabriela
Published: August 2023

Research on the harmonization of financial reporting of SMEs worldwide is currently focusing on the global application of IFRS for SMEs as an alternative for the financial reporting of entities whose securities are not listed on a regulated market. Several principles of recognition and valuation of assets have been simplified as a result of revisions made to the entire set of IFRS standards in order to meet the specific demands of small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) in meeting the information needs of readers of financial statements. The proposed goal was reached through the application of the historical research methodology, which involved an examination of the background and development of the IASB s project on the financial reporting of small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as subsequent events following the first and second revisions of the standard. Starting in 2000, when the first discussions about the need for a distinct standard for small and medium-sized entities emerged, to March 2021, when the feedback received following the second Request for Information for revision, the time period studied covered a number of significant events, taking into account that this provides a better understanding of the evolution of the IFRS standard for SMEs. Hence, three time periods were examined: the standard s pre-publication period (2000–2009), its first revision (2009–2015), and its second revision (2019-2021).

Published: August 2023

Because of the financial crisis of 2007-2009 and of the Covid pandemic, the international trade was significantly hit in terms of export flows. The whole macroeconomic context was negatively impacted during those last crises. In this paper we aimed to analyse the correlations between the trends of macroeconomic variables during the last decade and the exports of the Central and Eastern European countries. The selected macroeconomic variables are those that are significantly related to the foreign trade, namely GDP growth, inflation, public debt, public deficit, interest rate and labour productivity. These variables display a high correlation with the foreign trade expressed as exports and imports. But the correlations are not the same for all CEE countries. During crises periods, these correlations often change and each country of this CEE region reacts differently to specific external shocks. Trade was significantly and negatively impacted by the last financial crisis and by Covid pandemic crisis, while economic growth rates, inflation rates, labour productivity public finances and interest rates have different trends in the CEE region according to specific conditions of each country and the measures adopted by the national authorities in time of crises. Based on the correlations between the trends of the macroeconomic variables and the developments of exports in this area, we can design some important policy recommendations for the economic policy which needs to be implemented in those countries to overcome these difficulties generated by the increasing commercial deficits during the last decade.

Published: August 2023

The increasing recognition by investors of the importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in decision-making has led to a growing interconnection between sustainability and the financial market. The paper presents an engaging correlation between the ratio of two instruments, Gold Futures and Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX), both associated with market sentiment and S&P 500 ESG Index from Chicago Board Options Exchange. The aim of the research is to find whether there is a precedence effect or predictive causality between the variables mentioned above and the goal is to help determine inflection points on S&P 500 ESG Index evolution more precisely and to see if changes in Gold Futures/VIX ratio, an indicator of changes in market sentiment can impact S&P 500 ESG Index, a market-cap-weighted index with broad coverage created to gauge the performance of securities that meet sustainability criteria, while maintaining similar overall industry group weights as the S&P 500. This ESG index aims to provide a comprehensive measure of sustainability-focused investment opportunities that are aligned with the broader market, enabling investors to diversify their portfolios while investing in sustainable companies. The methodology used to construct the index ensures that the industry group weights of the sustainability index are similar those of the S&P 500, allowing for easy comparisons between the two. Overall, this research explores the relations between market sentiments, indexes, and achieving sustainability objectives while also meeting investors financial goals.

Accessing the Usefulness of Neoclassical Economics Theory
Authors: Ezebunwa Justice , Kpagih Leera
Published: August 2023

This research shows a review of the Neoclassical Economics theory with a view of discovering or disputing the claim – where possible – that the neoclassical theory is dead and worthless. This paper plagiarizes from the outcome of previous and relevant study conducted on this same proposition and uncovers the existence of a huge controversy in the literature – both old and new – of the effectiveness of the neoclassical economics. Given the lack of consensus on the neoclassical economics debate, the author of this manuscript then shows that while the Neoclassical theory is may not be dead; its effectiveness and efficiency given its entire underlying hypothesis that may be well within doubt. Furthermore the paper found that requesting the death of a model can only occur when the primary assumptions or hypothesis of that model is conducted and still the model fails to deliver valuable results. In the case of the neoclassical economics model; the only criticism can be that the fundamental assumptions nor hypothesis cannot embrace in a real world situation. Therefore declarations of its death cannot stand firm in an authorized argument – its efficiency maybe; but certainly not death. The author does however try to provide a brief assessment of the various extensions and alternatives of the neoclassical model that have evolved in a bid to augment its supposed failings

Published: August 2023

This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal age at first pregnancy, birth spacing, and residence status with the incidence of stunting in elementary school children in rural Enrekang. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 3 villages in Enrekang Regency. This study involved 100 elementary school children who were selected by purposive sampling. Data was collected using a validated structured questionnaire and microtia. These results are then processed to obtain the child's nutritional status using the WHO Anthro-Plus software, namely Z-score the Height/Age index. The statistical test used is the Chi-square test. From a total of 100 children as respondents, 72.0% were found to be stunted and 28.0% were found to be normal. The age of the mother during pregnancy is considered ideal at 62.0%, the ideal birth spacing for children is 84.0%, and the status of residence with own ownership is 67.0%. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between the mother's age at first pregnancy (p=0.693) and birth spacing (p=0.373) and the incidence of stunting. Meanwhile, the status of residence is considered related to the incidence of stunting in elementary school children with a value of p = 0.014. Maternal age at first pregnancy and birth spacing were not related to stunting. We suspect parenting style, the mother's attitude, sanitation hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and housing conditions indirectly contribute to the incidence of stunting. It is hoped that further research examines this matter.

Published: August 2023

Pollinators, particularly insects, play an indispensable role in ensuring the health of terrestrial ecosystems and in bolstering agricultural productivity. Their symbiotic relationship with plants has evolved over millennia, resulting in co-adaptations that facilitate the reproductive success of many plant species. This review sheds light on the multifaceted interactions between insect pollinators and plants, emphasizing their contributions not only in crop production but also in maintaining broader ecosystem services. The importance of insect pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, beetles, and flies, among others, is highlighted by their direct influence on the yield and quality of many crops. Notably, global agricultural sectors like fruits (e.g., apples and berries) and nuts (e.g., almonds) heavily depend on these insects for pollination. In economic terms, pollinators contribute substantially, with their decline potentially resulting in significant economic losses globally. Beyond agriculture, insect pollinators play a role in numerous ecosystem services. They aid in seed dispersal, ensuring gene flow and maintaining genetic diversity within plant populations. They act as crucial nodes in the food web, serving as prey for a plethora of species. They also indirectly support soil health by promoting the decomposition of plant matter, which enriches soil fertility and structure. Despite their importance, pollinators are under threat from various anthropogenic factors. Pesticides, habitat destruction, and climate change have been identified as primary drivers behind the decline of many pollinator species. Disease outbreaks and the proliferation of parasites further compound these challenges. Addressing these threats requires integrated conservation strategies. Practices like integrated pest management can minimize pesticide impact, while creating and maintaining pollinator habitats in agricultural and urban landscapes can provide refuges for these insects. Breeding programs targeting disease and parasite resistance and global collaborative efforts can further bolster pollinator populations. Investing in their conservation is not just an ecological imperative but also a socioeconomic one, ensuring food security for the growing global population. Emerging research avenues, such as genomic studies on pollinators, offer potential solutions and deeper insights into their resilience and adaptability. As the world grapples with escalating environmental challenges, understanding and supporting insect pollinators is paramount for a sustainable future.Insect pollinators

The ability of elementary school students to absorb material received in class is not optimal, it is monitored from the results of daily evaluation assessments from their subject teachers. This is due to the low absorption of students which is influenced by family factors, school factors, physical factors, and psychological factors when in the school environment. The difficulty factor in understanding certain subjects with limited time also causes student academic achievement to fall. The solution to increasing the absorption ability of elementary school students is still low by providing private tutor services for subjects that can be found through the media website. Private teachers really help improve students' ability to understand subjects with the help of information technology that is not obtained when they study at school. The User Centered Design (UCD) for for web-based private teachers makes it easy for parents of students to find additional teachers who can help improve children's abilities and achievements in understanding subjects. The results of this study can be one of the supporting applications for parents and students as a business strategy to improve academic abilities and achievements obtained from outside the school.

Student is a student group unit that exists at the tertiary level. The level of education is generally taken within a span of three years for the diploma level three (D3) and four years for the bachelor level (S1). What often happens is that there are some students who cannot complete the study period on time. Through research, attempts will be made to analyze the inhibiting factors of students so that they are unable to complete their studies properly. In this analysis, the Profile Matching algorithm is used as a weighting algorithm

Conversación con James Lull su perspectiva evolucionando a través de sus experiencias y vida
Authors: Mateo David
Published: August 2023

Aprovechando el notorio impulso que ha experimentado la obra de James Lull, se presenta aquí el resultado de una extensa e íntima conversación con él sobre su vida y obra. Por medio de este material se podrán apreciar los trazos del surgimiento de su perspectiva teórica: la comunicación evolutiva, al mismo tiempo que se accede a la figura de un humanista informado que al tanto de las limitaciones estructurales para la agencia humana, se interesa por localizar la voz humana en el centro del proceso de comunicación, y que al hacerlo, rompe con la narrativa de la determinación económica de las audiencias manipuladas. La historia de las audiencias, nos revela Lull, se extiende más allá del desarrollo tecnológico contemporáneo. Son el logro del proceso largo y sinuoso de la evolución humana conducido por la comunicación.
Is Safety Always Going to be More Important Than Privacy?

Lately Elon Musk published headlines news that has been focused on his private jet and its whereabouts, leading the billionaire to announce he is taking legal action against a 20-year-old who has been tracking his travels. The US Federal Aviation Administration is proposing an upgrade to air transportation that will fundamentally overhaul the current, aging system. A key component, the automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) system, will enhance air traffic monitoring and control by requiring aircraft to continually broadcast position, identity and velocity via unencrypted data links to ground stations. Although ADS-B may enhance air traffic safety and support the increase in traffic demands, open broadcast of clear aircraft data points raise serious security concerns. The ability to encrypt ADS-B message transactions would afford protection to ensure that the confidentiality of aircraft data is not compromised. The implementation of an encryption framework for a large, distributed and dynamic system, however, is nontrivial. This paper discusses the ADS-B as a tool — the way that it is beneficial and the way it could be exploited.
Review of the History of Mesoscale Convective System Forecasts on Aviation
Authors: Kyaw Than Oo

Airports are important national resources, and Aviation Weather Services are critical to the aviation industry's success. According to the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) analysis of weather-related circumstances that influence near- surface aircraft operations, wind and turbulence caused 1381 accidents, visibility, ceiling height (hc), and precipitation-related accidents occurred 485 times, and aircraft icing caused 150 accidents between 2003 and 2007. Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) arise when cumulonimbus clouds merge into a single entity that can span hundreds of miles and continue for hours, posing a higher threat to aviation due to its size and duration. The mesoscale downdraft of a squall-line MCS's stratiform area sometimes merges with the convective downdrafts in the leading line of convection, and these mergers can produce strong effects, with the gust front surging forward and triggering new convection in the form of a “bow echo," according to Doppler radar. Bow echo events are of particular concern to forecasters because they are typically associated with strong, damaging surface winds. Because MCSs are still a major socioeconomic issue, it's critical to construct climate models that incorporate them, whether through cloud-resolving modeling or parameterization. MCS characteristics are influenced by the increasingly contaminated aerosol environment in most parts of the world, and as the Earth warms, MCS patterns will certainly change.
