Authors: Alnamira Alnamira  , Nurul Karimah  , Bahari Bahari  , Fadhil Musyafa  , Pani Akhiruddin Siregar
Published: December 2024

This study aims to identify factors that influence consumer trust in halal-labeled micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) products. In Indonesia, the halal label plays an important role in purchasing decisions, especially among Muslim consumers who are looking for products that comply with Islamic law. This label not only guarantees the conformity of the product with Islamic law but also increases consumer trust in the safety and quality of the product. This study uses a literature study approach, analyzing various relevant references related to Islamic business management and consumer trust. The main factors identified include product quality, brand image, risk perception, and social influence. Consistent product quality, transparency in the production process, and a strong brand image contribute to increasing consumer trust and loyalty. In addition, social influence through recommendations from family and friends, as well as reviews on social media, play a significant role in shaping consumer perceptions. This study concludes that these factors are not only important for Muslim consumers but can also attract the interest of non-Muslim consumers who prioritize safety and ethics. This study provides insight for MSMEs in designing marketing strategies and product development, and is expected to support policies that encourage the growth of the halal MSME sector in the domestic and international markets.

The access and participation of individuals in mechanisms of international justice
Authors: Bejan Lavinia-Andreea
Published: December 2024

Together with states and other entities, individuals are currently part of a system of institutions and norms operating at a global level, which, ultimately, must target and ensure their protection. In order to respect democratic principles, including at the supranational, international, global level, the supranational legal order must allow individuals to participate in the mechanisms by which their rights, freedoms, and fundamental interests may be affected, including in the mechanisms of accomplishing international justice. Currently, individuals are widely recognized as subjects of international law, and there are a variety of forms through which they have access to, or participate in, or intervene before international courts, but in manners that are insufficient in order to adequately manage their participation needs. Ensuring a wider access of individuals to international courts, on the one hand, guarantees and strengthens their rights, and, on the other hand, legitimizes the exercise of authority by these courts. In this context, the paper aims to look at the main forms in which the access and participation of individuals in the mechanisms of justice at the international level are allowed, as well as to discuss manners of expanding such access and ensuring the solid observance of the principle of procedural fairness and the procedural rights of individuals when involved in international legal proceedings.

Effect of Replacing Natural Aggregate with Plastic Aggregate on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete-Review
Authors: Omran Shady , Sisupalan Samson
Published: December 2024

Humans are consuming vast quantities of plastic across various types, leading to significant challenges in decomposition and the subsequent generation of extensive plastic waste, posing a significant threat to the environment. To address this issue, researchers are actively exploring methods to minimize plastic waste and mitigate its widespread impact by incorporating it into concrete. This not only enhances concrete's durability but also reduces costs. This paper provides an overview of published research on the utilization of waste plastic in concrete. It reviews the efforts of numerous researchers in valorizing plastic waste in concrete, exploring different forms such as partial replacement of fine and coarse aggregate, as well as fibers, and examines their effects on the fresh, mechanical, and durability properties of concrete. The research findings indicate promising possibilities for recycling plastic waste in concrete. However, there is scope to investigate the combined utilization of plastic as both aggregate and fiber in concrete, potentially enabling the recovery of additional quantities of plastic waste. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze changes occurring within the concrete.

Published: December 2024

Background/Aims: Small bowel bleeding (SBB) is the main indication for videocapsule endoscopy (VCE); the diagnostic yield (DY) could be influenced by antithrombotic therapies. We explored the effects of these therapies on SBB.Methods: Consecutive patients from two centers (Milan, Italy and Sheffield, UK) who underwent VCE between March 2001 and July 2020 were considered. Demographic data, clinical parameters, drug therapy, and technical characteristics of the procedure were collected. VCE findings and DY were evaluated.Results: In total, 957 patients (1,052 VCEs) underwent VCE for SBB (DY 50.6%, no retention); 27 patients (27 VCEs) received direct oral anticoagulants, 87 (88 VCEs) received other anticoagulants, 115 (135 VCEs) received antiplatelet therapy, 198 (218 VCEs) received monotherapy, and 31 (32 VCEs) received combined therapy. There were no differences in the completion rate, findings, and DYs between each subgroup or between monotherapy and combined therapy. The overt bleeding rate was similar in all groups, even when comparing antithrombotic users versus those not on therapy (p=0.59) or monotherapy versus combined therapy (p=0.34).Conclusions: VCE is safe and has a high clinical impact on SBB. Antithrombotic therapies did not affect DY or overt bleeding rate and, consequently, can be considered safe in terms of SBB risk.
The Economic Impacts of Renewable Energy Adoption: A Comparative Analysis of Developed and Developing Nations
Authors: Karimi Kasman , Karimi Arief Farhan
Published: December 2024

This article discusses the economic impact of renewable energy adoption through a comparative analysis between developed and developing countries. Using qualitative methods based on literature studies and library research, this study explores how investment in renewable energy affects economic growth, job creation, and economic environmental stability in both types of countries. The findings show that developed countries tend to have stronger infrastructure and greater funding to support the energy transition, so they can see the economic benefits of renewable energy investment more quickly, including in the technology and innovation sectors. On the other hand, although developing countries face capital and infrastructure constraints, the adoption of renewable energy has the potential to increase energy security, reduce dependence on imported energy, and create new economic opportunities, especially in rural areas. This analysis highlights the importance of international policy and investment support to help developing countries overcome challenges in the energy transition. This article is expected to provide insights to policymakers on the importance of an approach tailored to each country's conditions to encourage the adoption of renewable energy that is effective and positively impacts the economy.

Published: December 2024

Introduction Whipple’s pancreaticoduodenectomy has become a widely used resection procedure for pancreatic head, periampullary, ampullary, and biliary tumors. This study was conducted to analyze the histopathological features of these tumors in pancreaticoduodenectomy specimen.
MethodsA descriptive study was carried out in the Pathology Department of Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital. Pancreaticoduodenectomy specimens received were assessed for tumor location, histopathologic categorization, grading, lymphovascular and perineural invasion, margin status, and lymph node status. AJCC TNM staging was done.
ResultsOut of 41 Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy cases, 35 (85.4%) were malignant and 6 (14.6%) were benign. The patients' ages ranged from 30 to 84 years, with a mean age of 58.3 years and a male to female ratio of 1.2:1. Adenocarcinoma was the most common malignant lesion (73.2%; n=30) frequently found in the intra-ampullary and periampullary regions (31.4%; n=11). The intestinal type of adenocarcinoma was the most common (42.8%; n=15), followed by the pancreaticobiliary type (34.3%; n=12). Most tumors were moderately differentiated (74.3%; n=26). Perineural invasion was frequently seen in intra-ampullary and periampullary carcinoma (81.8%; n=9). Lymphovascular invasion was frequently seen in intra-ampullary and periampullary carcinoma (81.8%; n=9). Most tumors were in the T3 stage (42.9%; n=15), and overall nodal metastasis (N1 and N2) was seen in 57.1% (n=20).
ConclusionAdenocarcinoma was the commonest diagsosis in pancreaticoduodenectomy specimens of the intra-ampullary and periampullary region. Malignant lesions were more frequent than benign lesion in our study.
Backscatter Signal in Underwater Lidars with a Complexly Modulated Probe Beam
Authors: Luchinin A. G. , Kirillin M. Yu. , Dolin L. S.
Published: December 2024

The results of statistical modeling of the backscatter signal in lidars when probing the water column with pulses with internal modulation by complex frequency modulated signals and their matched processing in the receiving path of the lidar are presented. The simulation results are compared with analytical calculations in the small-angle approximation. It is shown that the photons spread along their paths, associated with multiple scattering in the medium, does not prevent effective compression of the complex signal, and the small-angle approximation well describes the energy-carrying part of the signal backscattered by the water column. A comparison was made of the levels of backscatter signals when probing water with a short pulse and a complexly modulated pulse. It is shown that the use of complexly modulated illumination pulses makes it possible to reduce the power emitted by the source while maintaining the level of the backscattering signal in the lidar and its range resolution. Calculations of the levels of the signal backscattered by a localized diffusely reflecting object are performed and it is shown that at a delay value corresponding  to the arrival time of ballistic photons, the compressed pulse is not distorted. At long delay times, a pulse tail is formed due to the spread of photons along their paths. An example of calculating the backscattering pulse in the presence of a non-reflecting object in the water is given.
Sun Glints and Underwater Caustics in Remote Sensing of Seas and Oceans
Authors: Gardashov R. H. , Gardashov E. R.
Published: December 2024

The Sun glints that are observed on the water surface have different radiances, shapes, and color shades, depending on the positions of the Sun and the observer, the water surface statement, and the transparency of the water and atmosphere. The texture, radiance, and color characteristics of Sun glints carry information about the state of the water and atmosphere. Therefore, Sun glints play an important role in remote sensing of seas and oceans, being a useful signal in some problems and noise in others. Bright stripes (underwater caustics) on the bottom of the water basin that are caused by the waves are also an indicator of the water surface shape. The application of the wave theory of light is used to study the intensity distribution in the vicinity of the caustic (i. e., where the geometric-optical approximation is inapplicable), which arises when light is refracted on a wavy water surface.

A formula, which determines the parameters of the waves from the width of the caustic zone is obtained. The correctness of the method has been verified by experiments carried out in the pool. Also, here we give a brief overview of our investigations related to sun glints and underwater caustics.
Method for Estimating the Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient from the Beam Attenuation Coefficient in the Waters of the Black Sea
Authors: Mankovsky V. I. , Mankovskaya E. V.
Published: December 2024

The vertical attenuation coefficient of downward irradiance is one of the hydro-optical characteristics that determine the parameters of the light field in the sea. Information from the vertical attenuation coefficient of downward irradiance (or the diffuse attenuation coefficient) is necessary when determining an important biological and ecological parameter of water basin — the thickness of the euphotic layer. A possible method for estimating the vertical attenuation coefficient of downward irradiance (or the diffuse attenuation coefficient) from measurements of the beam attenuation coefficient at a wavelength of 525 nm for the Black Sea waters is described. The Black Sea waters are characterized by an increased content of dissolved organic matter and belong to type II waters (according to the Morel classification). Examples of the application of the method are given, which showed a quite high correlation (R = 0.85) between the values of the vertical attenuation coefficient of downward irradiance determined from in situ measurements of underwater irradiance with a photometer and calculated from in situ measurements of the beam attenuation coefficient with a transparency meter. The standard deviation of the calculated values from the measured ones is 0.008 m–1, the maximum deviation is 0.023 m–1.

Published: December 2024

The features of the empirical bio-optical algorithm operation in the waters around the Antarctic Peninsula are analyzed based on a comparison of calibrated data from the shipborne flow fluorimeter and satellite data from the OLCI radiometer on Senti nel-3A and Sentinel-3B satellites during the Antarctic summers of January-February 2020 and 2022. It is shown that the standard OC4 bio-optical algorithm significantly underestimates satellite estimates of Chl-a concentration from ~1.5 to ~9 times (on aver age by a factor of ~3.1). The known regional OC4-SO algorithm provides acceptable errors of Chl-a concentration estimates and can be used for studies related to the analysis of Chl-a concentration in the waters around the Antarctic Peninsula. The developed in this work new regional algorithm OC4-AP has significantly lower error in comparison with the known standard and regional algorithms. It can be used if it is necessary to obtain a remote estimate of the concentration of Chl-a, as close as possible to the accumulated world experience in determining this value by standard extract spectrophotometric and fluorimetric methods. The observed underestimation of satellite estimates of Chl-a concentration using the standard empirical bio-optical OC4 algorithm can be attributed to at least three reasons typical for the studied water area: low relative CDOM content, high phycoerythrin content, and stronger effect of pigment packing in phytoplankton cells compared to the average values in the World Ocean.

Published: December 2024

This quantitative study aims to analyze the effects of store atmosphere, shopping lifestyle, and fashion involvement on Generation Z consumers' purchasing decisions for UNIQLO products. The study sample comprises 100 consumers aged 17–23 years who have purchased Uniqlo products directly from outlets. Data collection was conducted using a survey method with a questionnaire as the instrument. Instrument testing showed that all question items were valid and reliable. The classic assumption tests indicate that the data is normally distributed, and the regression model is free from multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity. Hypothesis testing using Multiple Linear Regression analysis reveals that: (1) store atmosphere positively and significantly influences purchasing decisions, (2) shopping lifestyle positively and significantly influences purchasing decisions, and (3) fashion involvement positively and significantly influences purchasing decisions. The study findings suggest that a well-crafted store atmosphere enhances consumer purchasing decisions. Additionally, the more resources consumers allocate to obtaining desired clothing, the higher the purchasing decisions are likely to be. Likewise, higher consumer involvement in fashion-related aspects strengthens purchasing decisions. These insights can help companies develop marketing strategies, including optimizing store atmosphere, designing targeted promotions to stimulate a shopping lifestyle, and increasing consumer engagement in fashion-related aspects.
