Authors: Hope Zanele , Setiawan Iwan , Paramita Nia
Published: September 2024

Marital rape is a form of sexual violence that is often hidden and does not receive adequate attention, both from a legal and social perspective. This research aims to examine public perceptions of marital rape and its impact on the legal attitudes of Muslim women victims in Indonesia. Using survey methods and in-depth interviews with victims, legal experts, religious leaders and the general public, this research reveals that the level of public awareness about this issue is still very low. Survey results show that 68% of respondents do not fully understand that sexual relations without consent within marriage is a form of sexual violence. In addition, cultural factors and gender-biased religious interpretations also strengthen patriarchal views. The discussion highlighted the need for comprehensive and inclusive public education, as well as collaboration with mass media and religious figures to change this negative perception. This research concludes that a holistic and integrative policy approach is needed to increase public awareness and support women victims of marital rape in seeking justice.

Huff and Puff is a recovery technique for injecting chemical substances into a reservoir, where a single well is used either for production or injection purposes. A chemical employed is a biosurfactant, which exhibits low toxicity, is readily biodegradable, and poses no harm to the environment. Laboratory experiments using the “U-Champ” bio-surfactant have demonstrated its ability to decrease both the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water and the viscosity of oil. The experiment yielded a recovery factor of 81.67% using a 7% biosurfactant concentration and a soaking time of 48 hours. These results indicate that scale-up and simulation models should be used to assess the effectiveness of interventions on a larger scale. The simulation model closely aligns with the laboratory data, exhibiting a percent error of 0.005% for the original oil-in-place (OOIP) and 0.009% for the pore volume during the start step. The percentage error recorded during history matching was less than 5%. Simulation modeling identified that the most favorable scenario for injecting the “U-Champ” bio-surfactant is scenario 3. This scenario involves using a concentration of 7%, injection at a rate of 2500 bbl/day, and allowing the substance to soak for 15 hours in cycle 1 and 360 hours in cycle 2. Implementing this scenario will lead to a cumulative oil production of 864459,341 STB and a recovery factor of 86.96%.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. Cooperation in the agricultural sector of the economy of Ukraine is a complex socio-economic problem that requires significant efforts at all levels of management. Currently, a dairy cooperative can become an actual direction of cooperation in the countryside. This circumstance is caused by several factors: there is a fairly high level of concentration of cows in households; there is a shortage of milk on the domestic market.
Method (methodology). The method of scientific abstraction, together with the method of analysis and synthesis, in the course of the research made it possible to generalize and justify the essence of cooperation and cooperative, to study and systematize the factors affecting the activity of agricultural cooperatives. The economic and statistical method was used in the analysis of quantitative indicators of milk production in private peasant farms. The monographic method was used in the detailed study and generalization of the work experience of individual cooperative farms, the peculiarities of the development of cooperation in a specific region; functioning of agricultural cooperatives abroad, and the obtained results became the basis for the development of recommendations for the use of this experience in Ukraine.
The results. Based on the generalization of the current state of milk production in private peasant farms and taking into account the requirements for milk quality, a model of agricultural cooperatives is proposed for practical use. By joining cooperatives and legitimizing their activities, households can demand a higher price for milk and become a party that can dictate its conditions in sales and purchase relations. We believe that the development of cooperative relations of milk producers of various forms of business is the most rational measure of the position of social protection of the rural population - the situational main milk producer, potential consumers and processors, and the state.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. The effective functioning of the healthcare sector, providing the general population with high-quality and affordable medical care, is an essential element of the socio-economic well-being of any country. General indicators of morbidity and mortality in the country as a whole, which depend on the quality and assurance of medical services, determine the degree of life satisfaction of the population and influence the formation of the public mentality.
The specific nature of medical management, the problems of its implementation in the activities of medical institutions, and the lack of a unified strategy for determining the causes of medical and managerial errors are not fully explored in Ukraine today. These aspects contribute to the general dissatisfaction of the population with the quality and timeliness of medical services.
In order to determine the most effective methods of functioning of the healthcare industry in Ukraine and ways to regulate it, it is advisable to analyze the world experience of healthcare systems based on a study of foreign practice of state regulation of the quality of medical services and competitiveness in the healthcare system. An analysis of international strategies for ensuring the availability and quality of healthcare services will help identify the most effective vectors for Ukraine. Understanding the factors that directly affect the quality of healthcare services will help to develop the best approaches to ensure their quality. It should be borne in mind that individual (professional medical), organizational (managerial and statistical) and environmental (external and internal) factors can both improve and reduce the quality of healthcare services.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the current state, modern tools and methods of management in the medical field, as well as systems of quality control of medical services at the state level in foreign countries.
Methodology. The methods of system analysis, classification and comparative analysis were used for the study. The use of these methods allows for a comprehensive assessment of the impact of various economic, political, social and organizational factors on the quality of the health care system.
The result of the study should be the identification of the most effective ways to regulate the provision of quality and affordable health care services to the population of Ukraine as one of the methods of improving the functioning of the country's health care system.

Published: September 2024

Recently, the application of inorganic nano-periodic structures has become an active area of research. Polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) is known as a hydrolytically stable organic-inorganic hybrid material and this study proposes RT nanoimprint using methylated poly silsesquioxane (Me-PSQ) dissolved in a high-boiling solvent. PSQ electron beam cross-linked by a high electron beam irradiation maintained the shape of nanopatterns and enhanced the heat resistance. As a result of the analysis of the Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR), a siloxane linkage (Si-O-Si bridging) constitutes a core element of PSQ. The peak wavenumber of Si-O-Si bridging at cross-linked PSQ by electron beam irradiation shifted from 1115 to 1135 cm−1. The peaks shifted towards the high wavenumber side and approached the second peak (1170 cm−1) of the Si-O-Si stretching vibration of quartz. This result suggests that the physical properties of electron-beam irradiated PSQ approach those of quartz.

Published: September 2024

The territorial disputes between countries will always be a crucial aspect of the doctrine of national sovereignty, even though international law has now introduced the concept of borderless existence to enhance universal cooperation among nations. In reality, territorial disputes still occur in some regions, resulting in significant casualties on both sides of the conflict and often marked by reports of humanitarian tragedies. This research aims, firstly, to identify and analyze humanitarian crimes occurring in the conflict zone between Palestine and Israel and, secondly, to examine the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (hereafter referred to as ICC) in handling humanitarian crimes resulting from the conflict between Palestine and Israel. The research methodology employed is normative legal research, utilizing an approach based on legal regulations or international rules and a case-based approach. Secondary legal materials serve as the primary sources, and the research involves library research as well as qualitative descriptive analysis of legal materials. Moreover, The research shows indicate the emergence of victims, particularly women and children, and the extensive damage to non-military public facilities due to the conflict, suggesting indications of violations of the laws of war (humanitarian law). To summary up, The ICC has jurisdiction covering the principles of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. A novelty in this research is the affirmation of the ICC's jurisdiction and the United Nations Security Council's obligation to promptly halt the war on humanitarian grounds as an Obligation Erga Omnes. This study is limited to the humanitarian tragedy between Israel and Palestine without considering territorial status based on sovereignty principles.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: Palm oil plantations are among Indonesia's leading commodities that significantly contribute to the national economy. The fluctuation of stock prices in this subsector has attracted researchers' attention to understand the factors influencing it, including leverage, Firm Size, profitability, and systematic risk. This study aims to analyze the impact of leverage, Firm Size, profitability, and systematic risk on the stock prices of palm oil plantation subsector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2013-2023.
Research Methodology: This study utilizes panel data and applies three main regression models, namely the Common Effect Model (CEM), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM), to evaluate the impact of the independent variables on stock prices.
Results: The findings indicate that leverage, Firm Size, profitability, and systematic risk do not have a significant impact on stock prices. Specifically, leverage does not have a significant effect on systematic risk or stock prices, Firm Size does not have a significant effect on systematic risk and stock prices, and profitability does not significantly affect systematic risk and stock prices. Systematic risk does not have a significant effect on stock price. There is no significant evidence that systematic risk mediates the impact of leverage, Firm Size, or profitability on stock prices.
Limitations: This study is limited to palm oil plantation subsector companies listed on the IDX and the period between 2013 and 2023. External factors, such as macroeconomic conditions, government policies, and environmental factors that might be more significant, have not been deeply analyzed.
Contributions: This study contributes to the literature by showing that internal variables such as leverage, Firm Size, and profitability do not always significantly affect stock prices in the context of the palm oil plantation sub-sector in Indonesia.

La cúspide de la pirámide de la evidencia
Authors: Senior-Sánchez Juan Manuel
Published: September 2024

Un ensayo clínico con asignación aleatoria es la forma más rigurosa para establecer relación causa-efecto, con la menor incertidumbre posible, entre la eficacia de una intervención y un desenlace definido. Sus características más importantes son: la asignación aleatoria a la intervención, el investigador y el sujeto de estudio desconocen cual tratamiento está recibiendo, o sea, están enmascarados, los grupos son tratados en igual forma, excepto por la intervención experimental, los sujetos de estudio son analizados en el mismo grupo al cual fueron asignados en forma aleatoria (análisis por intención a tratar) y el análisis está enfocado sobre la estimación del tamaño de la diferencia en desenlaces predefinidos entre los grupos intervenidos.
Para evaluar la efectividad de las intervenciones, los estudios observacionales deben manejar las variables de confusión que sesgan la asociación al estar relacionadas tanto con la exposición como con la intervención, solo suele demostrarse correlación, mas no causalidad, aunque los investigadores y los clínicos tienden a interpretarlo erróneamente de esta última forma. La idea de sintetizar el cuerpo de la evidencia en forma matemática a través de metaanálisis es bastante lógica y atractiva para clasificarla en el más alto nivel; sin embargo, a pesar de ser bien desarrollados y conducidos, sus resultados están sujetos al diseño de cada estudio original, la heterogeneidad clínica inherente y aspectos metodológicos.
El objetivo del análisis estadístico de un ECA es estimar la magnitud de la diferencia de las intervenciones sobre los desenlaces. Primero se determina un estimativo puntual, que corresponde a la diferencia observada, luego se debe determinar el grado de incertidumbre de los datos, usualmente con el uso de los intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC 95%). El tipo de estimativo utilizado depende de la naturaleza del desenlace de interés, básicamente son tres: binario, tiempo al evento y desenlace cuantitativo.

CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF HOMEOSTASIS WITH ITS INTERPRETATION IN AYURVEDA
Authors: Prasad H M Spoorthi , C S Bhuvana , Kamath Nagaraj
Published: September 2024

Homeostasis is the maintenance of relatively stable conditions in the body's internal environment in a
range that is compatible with maintaining life. Healthy living depends on the constant maintenance of
the internal environment within set limits. If it goes beyond the limits, body exhibits malfunction and manifests inrmity and
illness. The physiological mechanisms which work to stabilize the internal environment are called homeostatic mechanisms
achieved by positive and negative feedback signals and three working components namely detector, integrating center and
effector. Ayurveda describes many principles for maintaining health like theory of similarity and dissimilarity (SaamanyaVishesha Siddantha), theory of three entities (Tridosha Siddantha) etc. Dosha, Dhatu and Mala are working in synchronous
manner to regulate the homeostasis in the body. Features of healthy individual and causation of disease described in Ayurveda
are similar to denition and function of homeostasis respectively. The physiological functioning of components involved in the
homeostasis is understood by the description of terms used in derivation of the word Vata like Gati, Gamana, Jnana, Prapti and
Utsaha. The internal environment is analogous to Asthayi Dhatu which in balanced states fullls the nutritional requirements of
the body and renders health. Features of Chaya, Dosha Kshaya, Vata Vriddi and Raktha Kshaya are the examples where body's
self-regulation occurs to correct the deviations as in homeostasis.

Dyes and pigments from fabrics, cosmetics, paper, etc., are responsible for contaminating the aquatic environment, which impacts the environment and public health. On the other hand, agribusiness also generates waste that can accumulate in the environment, generating different types of disorders. Therefore, in order to promote integration between agribusiness, the environment and environmental education, this project aimed to demonstrate that green coconut mesocarp (MCV) and wood sawdust (SM) can be used as decontaminating filters. Such filters would aim to remove the pollutant textile dye Indigo Blue (IB) from water samples. The materials were transformed into powder and properly stored. Subsequently, filters were built to simulate those used in Water Treatment Plants. IB solutions were passed through these filters. The best material, after physical-chemical analyzes and column tests, was the one with the smallest particle size, in both adsorbents. They were used in the laboratory treatment of water samples from Lake Interlagos, enriched with IB. For comparison, activated carbon (AC) was used. After the tests, both SM and MCV showed IB removal capabilities similar to that of activated carbon, being 98.00 ± 0.03 for SM, 97.00 ± 0.12 for MCV and 99. 00 ± 0.01 for CA, revealing that they are good natural adsorbents, under the appropriate analysis conditions.

Este estudo analisa os mecanismos patológicos e potenciais terapias para a Encefalopatia Traumática Crônica (ETC), uma doença neurodegenerativa associada a traumas repetitivos na cabeça, comum em esportes de contato e profissões de risco. A pesquisa busca entender a agregação da proteína tau hiperfosforilada e a inflamação crônica no cérebro, fatores que desempenham um papel central na progressão da doença. O objetivo é contribuir para o campo de conhecimento da ETC aprofundando a análise dos mecanismos patológicos envolvidos e das possíveis intervenções terapêuticas. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão integrativa da literatura, abrangendo estudos publicados entre 2012 e 2024, disponíveis em português, inglês e espanhol, para sintetizar dados sobre o desenvolvimento da ETC e as intervenções terapêuticas promissoras. Os resultados indicam que terapias direcionadas à modulação da proteína tau e intervenções anti-inflamatórias têm demonstrado potencial em estudos pré-clínicos, mas ainda necessitam de validação clínica robusta. Técnicas diagnósticas como biomarcadores e tomografia por emissão de pósitrons (PET) emergem como alternativas promissoras para a detecção precoce, mas também exigem mais estudos para padronização. A revisão aponta a necessidade de pesquisas adicionais para confirmar a eficácia das intervenções e melhorar o manejo clínico da ETC. Conclui-se que a continuidade dos estudos é essencial para o desenvolvimento de tratamentos mais eficazes e para a mitigação dos efeitos dessa condição na saúde pública, especialmente entre populações jovens e de alto risco.

Leprosy is still a health problem in the Guluk-Guluk District. Factors that contribute to the increase in leprosy cases are home sanitation and personal hygiene. House sanitation that does not meet the requirements creates a conducive environment for leprosy bacteria, and inadequate personal hygiene increases the risk of leprosy transmission. This research aims to analyze the relationship between home sanitation and personal hygiene and the incidence of leprosy. This research uses a case-control design. The independent variables are home sanitation and personal hygiene, while the dependent variable is the incidence of leprosy. Data collection is done through interviews, observation, and measurement. The samples used were 30 case samples and 30 control samples. The research location is in the Guluk-Guluk Health Center Working Area. The research time is January - June 2024. Sampling used a simple random sampling technique via lottery. Data were analyzed using chi-square and odds ratio tests. The results show a relationship between house sanitation, ceilings, floors, ventilation, personal hygiene, cleanliness of hands and feet, and the incidence of leprosy. There is no relationship between temperature, humidity, and bed cleanliness with the incidence of leprosy.

The main problem in controlling dengue in Pare District is the inconsistent and inconsistent implementation of the Mosquito Nest Eradication program and the lack of comprehensive counseling to the community. In addition, monitoring of larvae that do not meet standards also contributes to the increase in dengue cases. The purpose of the study is to examine the implementation of the dengue control program in the Working Area of the Pare Health Center, Kediri Regency. The type of research is qualitative descriptive. The location of the research was carried out in the Working Area of the Pare Health Center, Kediri Regency. The research informants were divided into two, namely key informants and supporting informants with a total of 22 informants. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling. The data collection technique uses interviews and observations. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results of the research are the Dengue Vector Control Program at the Pare Health Center including Standard Operational Prpcedure, counseling, control of physical, biological, chemical, and integrated methods in the good category. Meanwhile, efforts to report and evaluate dengue vector control are in the category of lacking. The conclusion of the study shows that efforts to control dengue vectors in the Working Area of the Pare Health Center are still not optimal and need to be improved, both in terms of the implementation of various control methods, compliance with SOPs, and a better evaluation system. Suggestions for the Pare Health Center to increase preparedness for epidemiological investigations, counseling, periodic Mosquito Nest Eradication, as well as the implementation and socialization of the household mosquito breeding ground eradication program. Periodic evaluations such as efficacy and resistance tests need to be carried out.

The irrational use of antibiotics has led to the persistent emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria, extensively drug-resistant bacteria, and even “superbugs,” pushing humanity toward a “post-antibiotic era” devoid of effective antibiotics. Consequently, the quest for novel treatment strategies has become an urgent priority. Bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacteria, originate from a variety of sources and exhibit high host specificity. This makes them an exceptional alternative to antibiotics, offering superior bactericidal efficacy. Their unique characteristics provide a novel approach to treating drug-resistant bacterial infections, offering a promising avenue for improving human health. Mycobacteriophages are a specific family of bacteriophages that parasitize bacteria of the genus Mycobacterium and are ubiquitously distributed in nature. They play a crucial role in regulating mycobacterial infection and advancing antimicrobial therapy. This review provides a comprehensive introduction to the structure, infection mechanism, clinical applications, phage resistance, and research progress of mycobacteriophages. The aim is to enhance our understanding of their characteristics and potential applications in biomedicine, providing a comprehensive reference for related research.

Genetics provides a vital tool for primary health-care practitioners, aiding in targeted medication therapy, managing multifactorial illness risks, and addressing hereditary reproductive hazards. Discovering genomic variations linked to diseases enhances our understanding of these medical conditions, facilitating the development of personalized treatments and influencing health-care decisions. It has been predicted that advancing technologies and research will improve clinical practices. For instance, the post-COVID-19 era saw the increasing fusion of genetic approaches with digital health tools, marked by the incorporation of genetic data into electronic medical records, which helps advance the maturation of precision medicine. However, challenges such as managing large datasets and limited resource accessibility hinder the full potential of genetic data. Standardizing data formats and integrating genetic data with health-care systems remains problematic and unfeasible for collaboration. The rise of telemedicine and remote monitoring has paved the way for more expanded genetic counseling access, whereas artificial intelligence provides a promising tool for revolutionizing precision medicine through extensive genomic data analysis. Nonetheless, privacy, standardization, and ethical concerns persist, calling for more secure data management practices in genomic health care. Ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is crucial for ethical data handling. Moreover, a shortage of trained professionals limits access to specialized care, especially in underserved areas. This study reviews digital health applications in genetics and genomics, assessing their impact on health-care delivery and patient outcomes. Addressing these challenges is critical for fostering effective, equitable health-care solutions, a prerequisite for promoting a precise, patient-centered approach to medicine.
