Authors: Tera Triyantara HRN  , Dody Kusmayadi
Published: February 2025

The legacy of a centralized government system with a mindset that is formed as a result of experience so far with a centralized system of government and development includes, 1) weak supervision; 2) responsiveness in changing development approaches and strategies; 3) misalignment between policies and implementation in various areas of development; 4) the economic crisis has caused the weakening of the ability of local governments; 6) the unevenness of economic growth between regions; and 7) the powerlessness of the community in the process of social change for the improvement of welfare in various regions. In Indonesia, without excluding the factors of injustice, geopolitics, and ethnicity, there is a tendency to identify movements. Therefore, it can be said that religious and cultural differences contribute to political tensions, and can even trigger separatism. While culture is a concept that encompasses many (broad) things, it includes everything from the influence of an individual's thought process to his behavior

A crisis is an unpredictable phenomenon that can arise from internal company issues, such as the case of Selen's dismissal by Nijisanji, which operates under Anycolor Inc. This dismissal triggered various reactions from the fan community, ranging from support for Selen to criticism of Nijisanji's management policies. The primary cause of this dismissal was the internal dispute between Selen and Nijisanji. In examining this issue, the author employs qualitative descriptive research with a content analysis method. The qualitative content analysis method allows for flexibility in data collection related to the case under study. By using content analysis and Situational Crisis Communication Theory, the author aims to study how Nijisanji EN responds to crises. The results of this study indicate that the crisis experienced by Nijisanji EN falls into the category of a Preventable Crisis. The conclusion drawn is that the management's inability to control Nijisanji's crisis communication response led to the company suffering significant losses due to a series of crucial and difficult-to manage crises.

Introduction: Doppler ultrasound (DUS) has limitations in evaluating peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in complex areas like the adductor canal, morbidly obese patients, and those with severe limb swelling or ulcers. Compared to computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), DUS shows lower sensitivity. CTA and MRA offer excellent diagnostic capabilities for PAD.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the agreement between CT angiography and Doppler ultrasonography in diagnosing PAD.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Bolan Medical Complex, Quetta from March 20, 2021, to September 19, 2021. We included 100 patients (aged 20-60 years) referred for suspected PAD. Patients with diabetes, impaired kidney function, and pregnancy were excluded. DUS examinations were performed by on-duty radiologists, assessing blood flow in lower limb arteries from the distal external iliac/common femoral artery to the dorsalis pedis artery. Results were compared with the patients' subsequent CTA findings, performed by the radiology department's CT team. Both teams were blinded to the study to minimize bias.
Results: CT angiography confirmed PAD in 58 (58%) patients. DUS identified 54 true positives and 7 false positives. Among patients with negative DUS findings, 4 were false negatives, and 35 were true negatives (p-value=0.0001). The agreement between CT angiography and DUS for PAD diagnosis was 89.0%, with a kappa value of 0.772.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates good agreement between CT angiography and Doppler ultrasonography in diagnosing peripheral arterial disease.
Exploring Community Service as Punishment in Sikhism: Legal and Historical Insights
Authors: Dhiman Dr. Shikha , Sur Vikram
Published: February 2025

In Sikhism, the implementation of community service as a form of corrective action aligns deeply with the religion's core principles of Seva (selfless service) and humility. This approach emphasizes rehabilitation and transformation over punitive measures, aiming to foster moral, ethical, and spiritual growth in individuals. Sikh philosophy advocates that offenders engage in acts of community service, which serve to cultivate empathy, responsibility, and accountability, ultimately reintegrating them into society as reformed and compassionate individuals. This rehabilitative model highlights the Sikh emphasis on social justice, where the focus lies on addressing the root causes of wrongdoing and enabling positive behavioural change rather than inflicting retributive punishment. Community service, in this framework, not only aids in the personal development of the individual but also benefits the broader community by contributing to its welfare and harmony. The practice reflects Sikhism's broader commitment to communal upliftment and equity. Furthermore, the integration of community service as a corrective measure exemplifies a holistic view of justice within Sikhism, prioritizing the well-being and rehabilitation of offenders. This model underscores the religion's dedication to creating a just and compassionate society, where reconciliation and positive transformation are paramount. Through this approach, Sikhism upholds the ideals of communal harmony, ethical living, and spiritual growth for all.

Principal_Component_Analysis (PCA) is a sophisticated and powerful tool for reducing the dimensions of the inbound data. This study evaluates the efficacy of various traditional machine learning (ML) algorithms such as K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision_Trees (DT), Naïve_Bayes (NB), and Linear_Discriminant_Analysis (LDA), Multi-Layer_Perceptron (MLP), Support_Vector_Machines (SVM), Random_Forest (RF)on a dataset enriched with features derived from PCA. The findings empirically reveal that PCA significantly enhances the performance of the underlying algorithms by identifying features corresponding to maximum interclass variance. The experiments were performed on 2D MRI slices (5154 images) extracted from Alzheimer’s_Disease_Neuroimaging_Initiative (ADNI) baseline dataset containing 199 instances. For evaluation, the standard performance indicators were used, i.e., confusion_matrix (CM), accuracy, f1_score, sensitivity, specificity, precision, auc, etc. Out of all the models, the best performance w.r.t.test_accuracy, f1-score and auc values are 99.94%,99.90, 1.00, for KNN; 99.87%, 99.80, 1.00 for SVM; 98.06%, 98.10, 0.98 for MLP; and 94.12%, 94.10, 1.00 for RF respectively. Key observations indicate that KNN provides good performance, but due to its high computational requirements, it’s not suitable for larger datasets in its simple form. SVM and MLP due to their ability to build intricate data representations, allows extracting maximum information thereby improving algorithm performance. Additionally, ensemble methods generally outperform individual classifiers, though it is true for most cases, but again the performance totally depends on the size and nature of the data.These results underscore the importance of dataset size, feature extraction techniques, and algorithm complexity in optimizing machine learning performance for the given dataset.

Published: February 2025

Credit scoring plays a vital role in the credit-related financial decision-making process. Still, traditional models currently face challenges of limited data sources, human bias, and static risk assessment methods that lead to inaccurate creditworthiness assessment. IntegratingAI- Artificial intelligence in the financial technology (fintech) sector has revolutionized this process, enabling real-time and dynamic credit risk assessment using machine learning, NLP, and alternative data sources—such as transaction behavior, social media analytics, and utility payment records. This study analyses the transformative role of AI-based credit scoring in improving predictive accuracy, operational efficiency, and financial inclusion. Additionally, it discusses key challenges like legal compliance, data privacy concerns, algorithmic bias,and ethical complexities of automated decisionmaking. Employingadescriptive research methodology, this research provides a detailed analysis of the potential impacts of AI-driven credit assessment frameworks and advocates the adoption of transparent, accountable, and ethically responsible AI-based credit scoring systems.
