Authors: Pawestri Setyaning , Syahbanu Fathma
Published: May 2024

Recently, food safety issues can be affected by several bioactive compounds such as biogenic amines that can be specifically found in fermented foods due to bacterial decarboxylation of some amino acids by fermentation or spoilage bacteria. Tiramin is a biogenic amine produced through decarboxylation of the amino acid tyrosine in animals, plants and microorganisms. Tiramin can cause adverse health effects, such as histamine and tyramine poisoning, histamine and tyraminentolerance, or hypertensive crisis caused by the interaction between tyramine and monoamine oxidase inhibitor drugs. Tiramin is often found in fermented, aged, preserved, and spoiled foods where microbes with decarboxylase enzymes convert the amino acid tyrosine to tyramine. Therefore, information related to rapid and sensitive determination methods for tyramine in various types of food is urgently needed to properly monitor and control the safety of food products. The development of modern technology in food storage (e.g., temperature and pH, packaging) can decrease tyrosine decarboxylase activity and reduce tyramine levels in modern foods. The aim of this article was to review the study of tyramine compounds contained in food products, such as tyramine compounds, issues related to tyramine, the mechanism of action of tyramine in the human body, pathophysiology, clinical significance, pharmacology of tyramine, the toxicity of tyramine, methods commonly used to detect the presence of tyramine compounds, and the methods that can be performed to reduce tyramine levels in food products to tolerable limits according to applicable regulations. This article review was conducted using the narrative literature review method.

Poverty is one of the goals of Indonesia's development program, as stated in the first point of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). East Java Province has one of the largest poor populations in Indonesia, making poverty reduction a major component of improving people's welfare. This study aims to ascertain the effect of GRDP per capita, Human Development Index (HDI), Open Unemployment Rate, and regional expenditure in East Java Province from 2012 to 2022. The findings are expected to be a reference or policy-making decision in poverty alleviation efforts. This study makes use of panel data from East Java Province's 38 districts and cities from 2012 to 2022. Quantitative analysis method is utilized with an error correction model (ECM) regression analysis technique. The results showed that GRDP per capita, HDI, unemployment, and regional expenditure simultaneously affect poverty in East Java Province. Partially, GRDP per capita and HDI have a negative effect on poverty both in the long and short-term. In the long term, unemployment has a positive effect on poverty, but shows no effect in the short term . Meanwhile, regional expenditure has no effect on poverty, either in the long or short term in East Java Province. Reducing poverty can be achieved by increasing economic output to increase per capita income, improving the quality of human resources through investment in education and health, providing broad employment opportunities to reduce unemployment, and increasing the allocation of regional expenditure and allocation of regional expenditure with the right target.

Published: May 2024

Background: Women's childbirth experience can profoundly impact their overall well-being and health. Evaluating maternal satisfaction with childbirth services is essential for assessing the quality of healthcare. Childbirth satisfaction is multifaceted, influenced by antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum factors. Midwives play a pivotal role in guiding women's birthing choices. Aim was to assess the impact of antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum interventions on maternal satisfaction in a tertiary care teaching hospital.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted with 126 women divided into two groups: Group A (Booked) and Group B (Unbooked). Group A received comprehensive care, including antenatal exercises, breastfeeding counselling, education on alternative birthing positions, and non-pharmacological pain management during labor, leading to deliveries in alternative positions. Group B received standard antenatal care, delivered in the conventional lithotomy position, and used pharmacological pain management.
Results: Midwife-led counselling during antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum phases positively influenced childbirth experiences. Group A showed lower postpartum pain scores, quicker initiation of breastfeeding, reduced episiotomy needs, shorter second-stage labour, and higher antepartum satisfaction compared to Group B.
Conclusions: Among healthy pregnant women, midwife-led care, including antenatal counselling, alternative birthing positions, exercises, and non-pharmacological pain management, correlated with shorter labor duration, decreased pain levels, higher satisfaction, reduced episiotomy rates, earlier breastfeeding initiation, and better APGAR scores. This underscores the positive impact of midwives in delivering patient-centered care and enhancing overall care quality.

Published: May 2024

The increasing participation of women in sports has raised interest in understanding how the menstrual cycle, specifically estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH), affects athletic performance. These hormones fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, which is divided into the early follicular phase, ovulatory period, and mid-luteal phase, each with distinct hormonal profiles. While estrogen is believed to have an anabolic effect on skeletal muscle and influence substrate metabolism, progesterone may have an antiestrogenic effect, potentially affecting physical performance. However, research on the impact of these hormone fluctuations on performance yields contradictory results. Some studies report improved performance during various menstrual cycle phases, while others find no significant differences. Additionally, the effects of oral contraceptives (OCPs) on muscle strength and function remain unclear. Menopause, characterized by a decline in skeletal muscle mass and bone density, is associated with reduced physical performance in women. More research is needed to understand the effects of estrogen and progesterone fluctuations on physical performance in women, emphasizing the importance of gender-specific research and guidelines for optimizing athletic performance.

Major Directions of Conflicts in the Information Space, and Their Specifics
Authors: Toshchev Vladimir
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the concept of “information conflict”, which is quite new in the context of political science. To achieve the goal of the study, the article pays special attention to types of information conflict and specific examples from real political practice. The criteria for typologizing such conflicts have been established, and the existing differences in approaches to managing the information sphere have been highlighted. It is noted that in modern conditions a number of approaches have a political and ideological direction, which is important to take into account when considering specific situations. Today, in the context of human involvement in the digital environment, contradictions that previously existed in societies become more noticeable against the backdrop of constant information influence. The information technology sector is forcing the world community to think about the possible consequences of using cyber technologies as a military weapon. The article notes that there are precedents when cyber attacks became a casus belli for the use of traditional types of weapons. It is concluded that the potential risks associated with the information environment inevitably lead to attempts by the world's leading states to secure their communication networks, which, in turn, creates conflicts of a new type: for the dominance of one or another approach to managing the information space.
“Legal marxism”: a page from the history of marxism in Russia
Authors: Sizemskaya Irina N.
Published: May 2024

The article examines “legal marxism” as a movement within Russian marxism in the 90s of the 19th century, which entered the history of Russian philosophical thought under the sign of criticism of populism from the standpoint of the economic materialism of K. Marx and the idea of social liberalism about the rule of law. In this context, the project of P.B. became the subject of special attention. Struve capitalization of Russia, supported by S.N. Bulgakov and M.I. Tugan-Baranovsky. Their research in this direction focused on the development of the country along the path of modernizing the economy and its institutional structures, taking into account national history, the characteristics of existing forms of community life, and cultural traditions. The meaning of the necessary transformations was in the formula “to transform Russia into a rich capitalist country,” and the components of this process included economic growth and its entry into the world community as a civilized state. Adhering to a materialist interpretation of history, Struve and his associates saw the historical mission of capitalism in creating material and cultural conditions for the further forward movement of history and therefore were far from recognizing capitalism as an “eternal” formation. The author of the article draws attention to the fact that the socio-philosophical paradigm of “legal Marxism” warned against leftist orthodox attitudes both in understanding the problem and in turning to the teachings of Marx in connection with it.

Published: May 2024

To establish a foothold in the global market for traffic safety reflective signs, it is essential to develop a flat cube reflector that adheres to the regulatory standards set by both the United States Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE). These standards primarily differ in terms of the specified observation angle and reflector value, with SAE requiring an observation angle of 0.2 degrees and ECE mandating 0.33 degrees. Leveraging sophisticated software tools, including SolidWorks, TracePro, Speos, LightTools, and Optiswork, allows for the meticulous optimization of the flat cube reflector to maximize its reflectivity. This optimization involves the precise arrangement of pins within the reflector, oriented unidirectionally. Our findings highlight the innovative potential of a singular flat cube reflector design that can simultaneously meet the stringent standards of both SAE and ECE. This dual-compliance capability holds significant promise for cost savings in the production of reflex reflectors intended for the European and American automobile markets.

One of the most effective computer methods of two-parametrical research of nonlinear systems is the construction of maps of dynamic modes. On maps the certain colours designate cycles of the various periods and areas of chaotic dynamics. The variety of noulinear model and radiophysical systems has required to create some kind of «atlas» of maps for most known of them. Most of basic classes of dynamic systems are submitted: one-dimensional irreversible maps, two-dimensional convertible maps, flows and nonauthonomous systems.

This paper consideres an approach to the choice of optimal parameters of interparticel potential in molecular—dynamic simulation. The approach proposed is based on the analysis of equation of state dependance on the potential parameters. The optimal choice is the one giving the best fit to the experimental data. The applications of the approach in the cases of argon and neon аt high pressures (hundreds MPa) are presented.

It is shown in experiments аn the penta—hepta—defect in а Bénard convective hexagonal lattice arises as a result of the attraction of two dislocations having opposite topological charges and belonging to different modes. It is elucidated that the rapprochement of dislocations occurs along a corridor connecting these topological charges. Inside the corridor large gradients of the field summed of phases of the modes organised into hexagonal structure are registered. It is shown that depending on the initial phase dislocations either attracted to each other or went toward boundaries. Comparison of dislocation’s trajectories in experiment and numerical calculations is done.
Digital Transformation Strategy for Managing Motorcycle Crime Evidence at the Bandar Lampung District Prosecutor's Office
Authors: Febrina Ira
Published: May 2024

The aim of this research is to analyze the digital transformation strategy for managing motorcycle crime evidence at the Bandar Lampung District Prosecutor’s Office using the flow model in digital transformation, which includes digital resources, organizational structure, growth strategy, and metrics and goals. This study uses the literature review methodology. The results of the study show that the management of motorbike crime evidence at the Bandar Lampung District Prosecutor’s Office is still not optimal, as many crime evidences in the form of motorbikes are damaged or lost as a result of a lack of professional guarding. In addition, the management of evidence in the form of motorbikes still has many crucial problems, ranging from the number of incompatible units and problems with facilities and infrastructure to staff who are unprofessional and irresponsible in managing evidence properly. Given that the Bandar Lampung District Attorney’s evidence management is not optimal, it is imperative to move forward with the digital transformation of technology, which not only improves acceleration, convenience, and accuracy but also ensures that information is accessed by the public easily, transparently, objectively, and without convolution. Because the globe is now borderless, much like an aquarium, the Prosecutor’s Office is obligated to simplify and expedite access to information for the media and the public.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this research is to examine and provide guidelines for local governments, communities, academics, and the private sector in planning and implementing poverty alleviation activities that are more effective, efficient, and on target. In addition, the specific objectives of this study are: 1) increasing the rate of regional economic growth through optimizing potential sources of regional income; 2) increasing per capita income; and 3) reducing poverty, unemployment, and socioeconomic inequality in the community. The research was conducted in Palembang City, South Sumatra, Indonesia, in the last 10 years, namely, 2017-2022. The research approach uses qualitative descriptive analysis. Moreover, data sources include secondary data and regional statistics. The results of this study are based on the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) indicators. Based on the four priority scales in poverty alleviation, namely, Health and Infrastructure (Priority I), Education (Priority II), Food Stability (Priority III), and Population and Employment (Priority IV), a budget approach, through optimizing the regional economy and regional sources of income as well as community empowerment factors, is an important solution to poverty alleviation strategies. In addition, involvement between elements (government, organizations, communities, universities, and institutions) is expected to continue as an effort to realize that poverty alleviation can be overcome optimally.

Village Funds and Poverty Alleviation in Villages of Bangka Belitung Islands Province
Authors: Zamzani ‎
Published: May 2024

The poverty level of Bangka Belitung Islands Province (Babel) is decreasing; data from September 2022 on Bangka Belitung Islands Province is below the national poverty level (9.71 percent), which places Babel’s poverty level in the 2nd lowest position nationally. However, what is problematic and interesting to study is that the majority of poor people in Bangka Belitung are in rural areas, namely, around 42,430 people. The poverty rate in rural areas provides an indication that there are still many problems with equitable development in villages. Although village autonomy has made progress in reducing inequality and poverty, economic inequality and poverty alleviation in villages are quite complex problems. This research attempts to explore problems related to economic inequality and efforts to eradicate poverty in the villages of Bangka Belitung Islands Province with the aim of looking at the factors that cause inequality as well as the efforts made by the village government to reduce poverty rates and inequality in the allocation of village budget. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive-analytic approach by describing field phenomena according to the reality that occurs. To obtain data, researchers used observation and documentation interview techniques by selecting informants based on criteria that had been determined from the start of the research. The findings in the field show that causes of inequality and poverty in Bangka Belitung village include: (1) the lack of community empowerment programs through the village budget to increase human resources in the village; (2) the weakness of poverty reduction programs in the village; (3) the weakness of creative economy programs in the village; (4) weak human resources for the village head and his apparatus in preparing the work program outlined in the RPJMDES to be implemented; and (5) guidance from the provincial and city regency governments to the village government is still far from optimal, so the programs in the village are very monotonous. Then, approaches that have been carried out in a comprehensive and integrated manner to alleviate poverty in rural communities in Bangka Belitung include: (1) increasing access to education; (2) village infrastructure development based on community economic strengthening programs; (3) skills development and training for village heads, village apparatus, and the community; (4) building and supporting entrepreneurship in the village (community empowerment); and (5) allocation of village funds that are right on target and appropriate to community needs.

Published: May 2024

Quality public services will give the impression of satisfaction and comfort to the people who receive them. This research focuses on patient satisfaction and comfort at Depati Hamzah Hospital, Pangkalpinang City, Sumatra, Indonesia. Patients and their families who received inpatient services became research respondents. In total, 105 participants participated in the survey as respondents to utilize the Windows SPSS 22 application for processing. Five significant service dimensions were the basis for measuring the service quality. The average level of patient satisfaction is 4.38 and the average level of service quality is 3.92 based on the results of importance-performance analysis calculations. This shows that 3.92 < 4.38, the quality of service has provided satisfaction to customers and patients but has not yet reached its best ability. The results of the Cartesian diagram analysis of the influence of service quality on patient satisfaction in quadrant I. The findings show that the gap is caused by the average perception and average expectations of unfavorable factors, namely the tangible, dependability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy factors. If the gap is negative, it indicates that fewer or dissatisfied customers are using the service. The results of the Cartesian diagram are more visible in quadrant I, which shows that the level of performance is below the level of expectations and additional performance improvements are needed to please customers.
