The Role of the Belt and Road Initiative in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Sri Lanka
Authors: Amarasingha A. A. H. N.
Published: February 2025

The Belt and Road Initiative is a global strategy announced by Chinese
president Xi Jinping in 2013 with potential to promote the sustainable
goals presented through the agenda for 2030 by the United Nations in
2016. Most significantly, Sri Lanka was among the other 21 countries
which embraced the implementation of belt and road initiative, and as of
today, links between belt and road initiative and sustainable development
goals have become an ongoing discourse in the international system. In
the Sri Lankan context, numerous projects have been launched under the
belt and road initiative and consequently, some contradictory ideologies
related to this backdrop have appeared in the Sri Lankan scholarly
context. This paper aims to examine the impact of the belt and road
Initiative on the sustainable development goals in Sri Lanka. The study
employs both primary and secondary data collection methods, including
observations and case studies for qualitative analysis. Primary data was
gathered through direct observations, while secondary data was sourced
from books, journals, and online articles. Key findings indicate a positive
linkage between the belt and road initiative of China and sustainable
development goals in Sri Lanka referring to economic, social and
environmental sustainability. Moreover, multifaceted impact of belt and
road initiative towards the sustainable development goals were identified
significantly under the social, economic and environmental dynamics
using the sustainable development theory. While the belt and road
initiative has positively influenced the sustainable development goals in
Sri Lanka to some extent, there remains a need for better project
management policies to ensure sustainable development outcomes.
Organizational Factors, Factors of Innovation in Croatia’s Tourist Offer
Authors: Kerum Fani , Šipić Neven , Vuković Dijana
Published: February 2025

Tourism represents an important component of economic devel­opment in Croatia. The competitiveness of Croatia as a tourist destination largely depends on the level of quality of its tourism product in relation to key success factors. The attractiveness and diversity of the offers in tourism stand out as significant factors in the quality of the tourist products of Cro­atia. Hospitality and tourism, of which the hotel industry is an integral part, today represent significant activity in the global framework. It is this activ­ity that provides employment and generates significant income, creating a large part of the gross domestic product (GDP) in the economies of tour­ism-oriented countries and a significant multiplier effect. The quality of the hotel offer is, in part, determined by the hotel’s ability to monitor, adopt, and implement innovative tourist products, services, and solutions for its guests and other important stakeholders. The ability of tourism companies today lies in the implementation and increasing utilization of the advantages of innovation, which thus becomes a decisive factor in the survival of tour­ism companies in today’s turbulent and unstable business environment. To­day, tourism companies are forced to be innovative in order to survive in a changing business environment. Innovativeness can be defined as the de­gree to which an individual, compared to others, adopts novelties. From the point of view of tourism organizations, innovation represents openness to new ideas that are part of their culture. The innovativeness of tourist orga­nizations, and therefore tourism, stems from the ability of tourist organi­zations to continuously transform knowledge and ideas into new tourism products, processes, and systems in order to ensure benefits for stakehold­ers. Understanding the innovation process is possible through the explana­tion of the linear and interactive models. In the linear model, the innovation chain starts with formal research and development activities, which are fol­lowed by applied research and product development. The next step after the development of a new tourist product is its commercialization. However, the innovative process most often does not have such a beginning, which is why an interactive model provides a better explanation, according to which there is no general order for how innovation occurs. Implementing change management strategies and continuously introducing innovations are cru­cial activities in hotel management. These efforts are essential not only for driving the hotel’s growth and development but also for ensuring its long-term survival. According to the above, the goal of the research is to deter­mine the degree of transformational and transactional leadership, dimen­sions of corporate culture, and dimensions of corporate learning that con­tribute to innovations in the hotel, as well as to determine to what extent in­novations affect the creation of value for hotel guests.
Informal Formality of Peripheral Society in Albania
Authors: Halilaj Alfred
Published: February 2025

After the 1990s, Albanian society gained a fundamental right: The right to movement. Researchers, public speakers, politicians, and the state it­self have at times characterized this newfound freedom as urban degenera­tion, portraying those who exploit this opportunity as anti-establishment. While the right to free speech has not been questioned in the new democratic framework of Albania, it is scientifically naive to interpret this discourse with­out considering the social, economic, political, and urban realities. The move­ment of people has always been a fundamental aspect of human life, and in contemporary terms, society operates largely in a state of continuous “infor­mality.” This paper aims to explore the informal reality of settlement in three dimensions: a) public articulation, b) economic implications, and c) urban conditions. A key focus of this paper is to examine the often-overlooked ben­efits of this ‘informal’ formality in urban development. The peripheries of Al­banian cities should not be viewed as urban ghettos; rather, they represent a dynamic force of human action that has catalyzed significant changes in the economic, political, and social fabric (structure) of urban areas.
The Impact of Leniency Policy on Private Enforcement of Competition Law: The EU Provisions and the Albanian Approach
Authors: Canco Monika
Published: February 2025

The scope of this paper encompasses an analysis of the leniency policy introduced by the European Union (EU) public enforcement of competi­tion law and its interaction with private enforcement of competition law, par­ticularly focusing on the approach and challenges of Albania as an EU candi­date country.

The purpose of this study is to examine the nature, characteristics, and effec­tiveness of the EU leniency policy within the context of competition law en­forcement. It investigates how the leniency policy affects private enforcement of competition law, particularly in relation to evidence disclosure and joint and several liability. Even though private and public enforcement of compe­tition law are considered to be complementary, the practice has shown that conflicts may arise, especially with the implementation of leniency policy. In addition, this paper aims to examine the Albanian approach to leniency pol­icy and examine possible challenges of the Albanian private enforcement of competition law.

The methodology employed in this study includes a desk review and a com­parative study. The desk review methodology encompasses an analytical re­view of EU standards, treaties, and secondary legislation, Albanian legislation on civil judicial procedure and the public enforcement of competition law. Second, the comparative analysis is conducted to highlight similarities and differences between EU and Albanian competition law concerning leniency policy. In addition, the US example and its substantially different approach to­wards private enforcement of competition law is examined.

The findings of this paper contribute to an understanding of the complex re­lationship between the EU public and private enforcement of the EU competi­tion law (especially during leniency proceedings) and its implications for Alba­nian practice. Lastly, this study’s findings provide new insights into the EU-ori­ented future of the Albanian competition law, offering suggestions for possi­ble amendments to the actual national competition legislation.
Prototype Proposal for Urban Air Mobility in the Albanian Air Space
Authors: Vukatana Kreshnik , Baci Marius
Published: February 2025

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a modern solution to urban transporta­tion challenges, offering a promising alternative to traditional modes of trav­el. This paper investigates the state of the art of this alternative solution and a system prototype proposal in the context of Albania. Several challenges such as vortex wake & jet blast phenomena, wind risk, obstacles, and regulatory legislation are addressed through an analysis. The idea behind this proposal is to innovate traveling in Albania through UAM using special air taxis. In the proposal is suggested to establish two vertiports at Tirana airport and one in the city, which will serve as key hubs for air taxi operations. From an econom­ic perspective, the introduction of UAM can stimulate economic growth by at­tracting tourism, generating employment opportunities, and new opportuni­ties for local businesses. Moreover, UAM has the potential to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable urban environment. By ensuring a good implementation, it can enhance the overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
Sustainable Tourism on the Example of Eco Camps in the Republic of Croatia
Authors: Ostojić Martina , Šokčević Sandra , Glavan Martina
Published: February 2025

Sustainable tourism and sustainable development play a signifi­cant role in preserving nature by reducing pollution and environmental im­pact. In the context of camping, this creates an environment where renewa­ble energy sources and eco-friendly materials are used. An eco-camp repre­sents a system of quality management and environmental protection. This concept carefully manages space in every aspect of its offer to achieve the vision of a high-quality environment while reducing costs. The purpose of this paper is to systematically research and provide a reasoned explanation of specific types of camps focused on sustainable development, particular­ly eco-camps. The paper empirically examines the attitudes and opinions of guests regarding their satisfaction with the elements offered within ecolog­ical camps in the Republic of Croatia, focusing on their motives for choos­ing and visiting these camps. The general conclusion of the research is that respondents indicated a preference for eco-camps and eco-camping. They highly value the camp’s focus on sustainability, minimal environmental im­pact, clean and smart energy, eco-conscious accommodations, and foster­ing support and collaboration with the local community.
The Social Values of the Croatian Society and the Legitimation of the Post-Socialist Legal Order
Authors: Kuzelj Valentino , Erent-Sunko Zrinka , Javorić Barić Danijel
Published: February 2025

Social values are a part of social policies that have developed un­der the influence of various factors and historical circumstances. From a slight hint of social rights to the welfare state, social values grew and changed as part of social policies that were supposed to ensure security for citizens. In so­cialist countries, a system of social rights was specially developed, and its pur­pose was to ensure stability that would legitimize socialist government. To that extent, socialist orders differ from welfare states that have incorporat­ed social values and their realization into their legal systems to realize social values and the fundamental legal principle of social justice. In the democrat­ic transition, former socialist states incorporated the normative basis for so­cial measures into their constitutional documents. In the same manner, the Croatian constitution maker opted for the concept of the social state as one of the fundamental determinants of the independent and democratic Republic of Croatia and, having incorporated social values into the constitutional doc­ument, recognized the character of subjective human rights as social rights.
Kinesiotaping: Innovation in handling injuries to athletes
Authors: Awaluddin Awaluddin , Juhanis Juhanis , Badaru Benny , Bachtiar Ishak , Zainuddin M Said
Published: February 2025

Injuries can occur due to direct physical pressure, excessive use of body parts, or accidental trauma during training and competition. Kinesiotaping is a method that can be used as a preventive and rehabilitative measure for injuries, thus helping athletes improve their performance, skills, and achievements in sports. However, Petanque athletes in South Sulawesi Province still have limited understanding of the application of kinesiotaping as an innovation in the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries. Therefore, the purpose of this Community Service (PkM) is to provide education and practice of installing kinesiotaping to Petanque athletes in South Sulawesi Province. The method used is service learning (SL), which consists of three stages: pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation. The results of this activity show an increase in athletes' understanding and skills related to kinesiotaping. As many as 76.66% of participants now know about kinesiotaping, while 80% of participants know how to install kinesiotaping. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an increase in athletes' understanding and knowledge regarding the benefits and methods of installing kinesiotaping as an innovation in the prevention and treatment of sports injuries.

Una experiencia de atención a la diversidad desde el Lenguaje Musical
Authors: Bernabé Villodre María del Mar
Published: February 2025

Introducción: Desde la Musicoterapia, se ha hecho especial énfasis en la mejora del desarrollo socioafectivo de la diversidad; pero, la garantía de la inclusividad también necesita mejoras en otras áreas de desarrollo. La intervención desarrollada muestra una serie de propuestas orientadas a mejorar el área cognitiva para garantizar su incorporación a un centro ocupacional. Metodología: Se pretendía mostrar que el aprendizaje del Lenguaje Musical podía convertirse en una herramienta de mejora general. Se desarrolló una propuesta con un caso único, realizándose la recogida de información mediante entrevistas, análisis de imágenes y visitas periódicas a un médico psiquiatra-psicólogo. Resultados: El desarrollo vivenciado supuso la aceptación en un centro ocupacional. Consiguió avances cognitivos y generales, certificados por el médico especialista. Discusión: Las investigaciones musicoterapéuticas previas parten de la utilización de la improvisación y el canto como formas de mejorar su desarrollo socioafectivo, pero no de las características propias del proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje del Lenguaje Musical como punto de partida para desarrollar la atención-concentración, la lectoescritura o el autodescubrimiento, aspectos que fueron trabajados mediante la propuesta desarrollada. Conclusiones: Se corroboró la hipótesis de que el aprendizaje del Lenguaje Musical, con una intención terapéutica y no educativa, puede permitir una mejora cognitiva y personal.
Yielding to the rite/ right femininity: ad(o)/(a)pting to gender performativity
Authors: Navarro Pérez Margarita
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The acclaimed ex-Disney star Hannah Montana underwent a radical transformation in her coming of adulthood and becoming Miley Cyrus. This change sparked some controversy and criticism, particularly following her performance at the 2013 VMAs. Methodology: To analyse this situation, Judith Butler’s theories on gender performativity are particularly instrumental. Results: Applying gender performativity, when analysing the harsh criticism the singer received, sheds light on the patriarchal assumption that seem to inform this antagonism, especially when compared to other performances that same night. Conclusions: The media harassment Cyrus faced may stem from her non-adherence to expected patriarchal gender stereotypes. Her confident and bold performance could in fact be seen as an act of feminist empowerment. Currently, Cyrus presents herself as a less subversive and more conforming public character, which coincidentally or not, just so happens to be more popular and seems to receive kinder press by the media.

En general, la mayoría de las publicaciones sobre el medio giran en torno a la industria, las consolas y los lanzamientos.
EDUCAÇÃO FINANCEIRA
Authors: PACHECO ANE BEATRIZ ARAUJO , FONTENELE GILVANIA RODRIGUES , ESTEVES FRANCISCO TEIXEIRA , SANTOS RAILTON VIEIRA DOS
Published: February 2025

A sociedade brasileira não possui uma cultura de aprender sobre Educação Financeira e, mesmo que de forma não proposital, os indivíduos priorizam o ato de gastar em vez de poupar. Isso se traduz em decisões financeiras inadequadas e falta de planejamento, refletindo-se na vida cotidiana. O filme "Até Que A Sorte Nos Separe" ilustra essa realidade ao mostrar como uma família que ganhou na loteria acaba falindo devido aos gastos desenfreados. Embora apresentado de forma humorística, o enredo destaca a necessidade urgente de uma melhor educação financeira no país. Diante disso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo elucidar a importância da abordagem da Educação Financeira nas escolas e identificar os conhecimentos prévios dos estudantes de 6° ano da Unidade Escolar José Basson, situada em Cocal-PI. A educação financeira é algo que pode ser considerada nova para a maioria da população, entretanto é um tema que merece destaque uma vez que influencia diretamente as decisões econômicas dos indivíduos e das famílias. Desta forma, este estudo se deu através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a temática e uma pesquisa de campo, dividida em dois momentos, no qual teve a aplicação de duas atividades contextualizadas, uma atividade básica sobre formação de quantidades de dinheiro e uma simulação de compras em supermercado, onde os mesmos precisavam decidir entre preço e qualidade. Com a aplicação destas, concluiu-se que a educação financeira é algo distante da realidade das crianças participantes da pesquisa. Tal fato é compreensível, devido à faixa etária dos alunos. Mas essa realidade pode e deve ser mudada, e o incentivo no ambiente escolar é de suma importância, pois foi possível perceber que, com o devido estímulo, os discentes conseguem ter bons resultados, planejando melhor o uso do dinheiro, fazendo escolhas melhores e poupando.

Politik Pembaruan Hukum Pidana Berkarakter Pancasila
Authors: Alam Alam Suryo Laksono , Patmawanti B.
Published: February 2025

Harus diakui bahwa Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana, yang masih berlaku di Indonesia merupakan peninggalan rezim kolonialisme dan imperialisme Belanda yang telah menjajah negeri ini selama 350 Tahun. Parahnya, kitab yang menjadi payung hukum pidana tersebut hingga saat ini masih tetap berlaku di Indonesia, meskipun tatanan kehidupan dan tradisi masyrakatnya sangat jauh berbeda dengan di Belanda. Sekalipun terdapat beberapa penambahan dan pengurangan terhadap ketentuan KUHP, namun watak imperialisme dan kapitalisme tetap mengakar dalam KUHP tersebut. Lahirnya KUHP yang baru, perlu kiranya memasukkan norma-norma yang sesuai dengan nilai-nilai Pancasila sebagai implementasi ideologi bangsa yang majemuk dan berkeadaban, ke dalam sistem hukum pidana di Indonesia. Keyakinan dari Bangsa Indonesia yang dinyatakan di dalam UUD NRI1945 bahwa Indonesia memiliki nilai-nilai Pancasila harus menjadi rujukan yang utama dalam perumusan KUHP Baru. Bukan justru karakter dan nilai kolonialisme yang masih melekat dalam KUHP. Setidaknya ada 3 (tiga) masalah pokok dalam hukum pidana yaitu tindak pidana, pertanggungjawaban pidana, serta pidana dan pemidanaan. Selain itu landasan yuridis dan sosiologis dibentuknya KUHP harus terintegrasi dengan Pancasila sebagai landasan Filosofis KUHP Indonesia. Pembaruan Politik Hukum Pidana Nasional yang mengedepankan nilai-nilai Pancasila melalui Kebijakan hukum pidana atau penal policy adalah sebagai usaha untuk membentuk hukum pidana (kriminalisasi) yang sesuai dengan norma hukum yang bersumber dari norma-norma dan nilai-nilai hukum nasional serta hukum tradisional sehingga terwujud keserasian antara kehidupan lahir dan batin.
Improved Seed Germination Technique for Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druce: A Rare Sacred Plant of Hindus
Authors: Patra Biswajit , Mohanty Priyanka Priyadarshini , Biswal Anil
Published: February 2025

In nature, there are some seeds that can’t germinate properly, even if environmental conditions are favourable. This condition is known as seed dormancy. In the case of _Prosopis cineraria_ (L.) Druce, the common reason for seed dormancy is the toughness of the seed coat. This type of dormancy is known as physical dormancy (PY). This experiment is conducted to determine the efficiency of different seed priming methods on the seed germination of the Shami plant. The seed priming methods include hydropriming followed by mechanical scarification, lukewarm water, hot water, and sulphuric acid treatments. Five seeds are selected for each treatment to carry out the germination. Then the data for germination percentage is collected one week after planting (WAP). In this study, hydropriming followed by mechanical scarification showed the highest observed germination percentage. However, given the small sample size, further validation is required. It is interesting to reveal that under full exposure to sunlight, the leaflets remain closed in the case of the juvenile Shami plant. This adaptation may be ascribed to resisting water loss by the juvenile plant.
Vitamin D, Calcium to Magnesium Ratio, and the Gut Microbiome
Authors: Chambers Patrick
Published: February 2025

The gut microbiome has been the subject of increasing interest as integral to our health. Few realize that the enormous benefits of vitamin D (VD) and magnesium (Mg) are highly dependent on a healthy gut microbiome. Short chain fatty acids, especially butyrate, reflect not only a healthy gut microbiome but also VD status. Suboptimal VD, Mg, or butyrate translates to some degree of gut dysbiosis and vice versa. Mg dependent secondary bile acids, indoles, and tryptophan, all microbial metabolites and longevity agents, are also discussed. Mg is indispensable to not only the synthesis of the active form of VD but also that of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) from acetate. 7-DHC is the substrate for solar conversion to D3. The steadily increasing Ca:Mg in the Western diet and its ironic impact on parathormone (PTH) is discussed. Gut dysbiosis further complicates this. Biochemical and physiologic interlinkages are legion and most remain hidden. This limited mini review exposes insight into the tight linkage between 25(OH) D and Ca:Mg, facilitated by the gut microbiome. A model incorporating the physiologically discordant but reinforcing effects on this linkage based on genes, culture, socioeconomic status, and diet that also addresses the seemingly contradictory reports regarding calcium (Ca), Mg, and VD efficacy is proposed. The balance between Ca and Mg is at the heart of the global epidemic of insulin resistance. A reliable method for estimating intracellular Mg++ is also proposed. A primary goal of this paper is to awaken the global public to not only the inadequacy of the RDA for Mg dependent vitamin D but also to that for the RDAs for Mg and Ca. Using generally accepted serum reference ranges, the difference between RBC Mg and plasma Mg, and basic physiology, one can both uncover the serious shortfall involving all three and unequivocally demonstrate the significant health risks linked to an out of range Ca:Mg. Conclusions are observational not experimental.
An analysis of Ordinance on Support for Hikikomori in Metropolitan and Local Governments
Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Mun Kyoungmi
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study was to examine the current status and characteristics of hikikomori support ordinances of metropolitan and basic autonomous bodies and to suggest measures for improvement. The research subject consisted of 65 ‘Hikikomori Support Ordinances’ selected for analysis. The analysis framework was based on the basic elements, normative structure, and effectiveness system of the ordinances, utilizing content analysis.
The results of the analysis are as follows. Firstly, the target and purpose of the ordinances were identified through their titles. Secondly, the normative structure limited the scope of support recipients, and the responsibilities of residents were minimally regulated. Furthermore, the regular surveys showed weak regulations in basic autonomous bodies. Thirdly, Effectiveness-related regulations, such as post-management, support centers, training of personnel, target identification, and financial procurement, were limited and often optional.
Based on these analysis findings, the study propose measures to enhance the ordinances supporting hikikomori.
An Exploratory Study on Policy Coordination in the Legal System of Work-Family Balance
Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Lee Yoonjin
Published: February 2025

This study diagnoses the legislative linkage of parental leave and work-family balance support policies based on policy coordination theory and derives improvement tasks. To this end, the contents of five laws, including the “Act on Equal Employment for Both Sexes,” the “Employment Insurance Act,” the “Framework Act on Healthy Families,” the “Act on the Promotion of Creation of Family-Friendly Social Environment,” and the “Framework Act on Low Fertility and Aging Society” were analyzed in terms of policy goals, institutional means, and administrative systems. The results show that while related laws share the comprehensive policy goal of supporting workers' work-family balance, the setting and coordination of specific policy priorities are insufficient. In addition, there is a lack of linkage between individual policy instruments, and communication and cooperation between ministries and between central and local governments are limited. Therefore, this study proposes measures to improve the legal system for the integrated implementation of work-family balance policies, such as establishing a policy coordination governance system, reorganizing the system centered on service users, operating a pan-governmental policy council, and strengthening linkages of services at the local level. This study suggests that it is time for work-family balance policies, which have focused on quantitative growth, to seek qualitative leaps.
A Study on Improving Conflict Management in Local Government through a Conflict Management System Approach : Focused on the case of conflict management in Seoul Metropolitan Government
Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Cho Eunyung , Kim Kihyung
Published: February 2025

The government is establishing a conflict management system to manage conflicts in local governments. This study identified problems related to conflict management in Seoul from the perspective of the conflict management system and suggested improvement measures. As a result of analysis in terms of procedures, motivation, competence, and resources.
First, available procedures, as conflict management have been reduced since 2022. the process or system available to the conflict party is not properly utilized than before. It is necessary to revitalize a department dedicated to organizations, manpower and budgeting. Second, motivation, there is a high possibility that the motivation to use conflict management procedures or systems will be lowered. Accordingly, it was proposed to increase the motivation for the parties to the conflict to use the conflict management procedure. Third, competency, it was suggested to point out the conflict management capabilities that have weakened compared to before 2021 and to make efforts to strengthen the capabilities of the conflict. Fourth, in terms of resources, it pointed out the lack of a conflict management system, and proposed the revival of a conflict management department, recruitment of sufficient personnel with expertise, appropriate budgeting, and provision of useful information through various conflict management education.
Emotionally-based School Avoidance of Deaf Students: Supportive factors for successful re-engagement in mainstream secondary schools
Authors: Makombe Tasara , Chataika Tsitsi , Chidindi Joseph
Published: February 2025

This article explores the phenomenon of emotionally based school avoidance among deaf students in two mainstream secondary schools and identifies supportive factors that can facilitate their successful re-engagement. The study employed a qualitative research approach, utilising focus group discussions with eight mainstream secondary school teachers and two specialist teachers working with deaf students in Bulawayo Central. Document analysis was also conducted to assess the current situation of deaf learners in mainstream settings. Data were analysed using content thematic analysis to identify key themes. The findings revealed that communication barriers, social isolation, and a lack of tailored support are significant contributors to emotionally based school avoidance. These challenges are exacerbated by the absence of sign language interpreters and limited teacher training in inclusive education. However, critical supportive factors were identified, including the use of sign language interpreters, the engagement of Deaf role models, and the application of universal design for learning principles, all of which can enhance engagement and academic success for deaf students. The study concludes that comprehensive support systems, involving stakeholder collaboration and policy advocacy, are crucial for creating inclusive environments that address the unique needs of deaf students, thereby significantly reducing emotionally based school avoidance.

Latar Belakang: Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Akut (ISPA) merupakan masalah kesehatan utama secara global, terutama pada anak balita, dengan hampir 7 juta kematian setiap tahunnya. Di Indonesia, ISPA masih menjadi penyakit yang umum terjadi sebagaimana dilaporkan dalam Survei Kesehatan Nasional tahun 2018. Pengetahuan ibu berperan penting dalam pencegahan dan penanganan ISPA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pengetahuan ibu tentang ISPA dengan status gizi anak balita di Puskesmas X Banyumas.
Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan melibatkan 65 anak yang menderita ISPA beserta orang tuanya, menggunakan teknik total sampling. Pengetahuan ibu diukur menggunakan kuesioner terstandarisasi yang terdiri dari 30 pertanyaan (Cronbach's Alpha = 0,807), sedangkan status gizi dikategorikan berdasarkan indeks berat badan menurut umur. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji korelasi kontingensi
Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 58,5% ibu memiliki tingkat pengetahuan sedang, sementara 47,7% anak memiliki status gizi normal dan 33,8% mengalami gizi kurang. Tidak ditemukan hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan ibu dengan status gizi anak (p > 0,05), meskipun terdapat korelasi sedang (r = 0,4).
Kesimpulan: Pengetahuan ibu tentang ISPA saja tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap status gizi anak. Diperlukan intervensi holistik yang mencakup asupan gizi, pola asuh, dan akses layanan kesehatan untuk meningkatkan status kesehatan anak.

Az önkényuralmi jelképek és a véleménynyilvánítás szabadságának kapcsolata az aktuális Z dilemma fényében
Authors: Herédi Gergő
Published: February 2025

Újra és újra felmerülő kérdés, hogy egy korábban önkényuralmi rendszerek által használt szimbólum tiltható-e akár a büntetőjog eszközével is amiatt, mert megjelenítése sértheti mások emberi méltóságát. Arányos-e, ha emiatt a véleménynyilvánításhoz való jogot korlátozzák? Miként értékeljük, ha egy indiai állampolgár visel szvasztikát, és arra hivatkozik, hogy ez a jelkép számára nem a nácizmust, hanem jólétet, szerencsét jelent. Egy frissebb példával élve: hogyan ítéljük meg, ha egy magyar állampolgárt Litvániában elítélnek azért, mert a ruhájára Z betű van varrva – aminek nyilvános megjelenítése 2022 óta tiltva van az említett országban, mivel Oroszország Ukrajna ellen elkövetett szörnyűségeit jelképezi. Adott a kérdés: mi számít jobban: az adott közösség véleménye egy jelképről, vagy azé, aki a jelképet megjeleníti? Tanulmányomban ezekre keresem a választ, kitérve az egyes jelképek jelentésének relativizmusa által okozott problémákra és a Z betű tilalmának megítélésére is.
Freedom of Speech and Sedition in Post- Colonial Democracies: Lessons from Kenya, Ghana and South Africa for India
Authors: Aadi Rajesh
Published: February 2025

Freedom of speech is a fundamental right in India, but colonial-era sedition laws and anti-terror laws, which challenge the core ethos of an independent democratic nation such as India have become a major challenge for the Indian society and question the existence, value and possible misuse of such laws. Since 2014, cases under the sedition law have increased by 28%, challenging the guarantees of human rights in India. With activists and legal experts questioning the value and misuse potential of such laws in India, the country should look up to the examples set by various post-colonial African states such as Kenya, Ghana and South Africa, which have favoured robust democratic standards and constitutional freedoms over colonial and apartheid-era sedition laws.
