Syndecan-1 and E-Cadherin Expression in Canine Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Files Rita , Cardoso Cláudia , Prada Justina , Silva Filipe , Pires Isabel
Published: December 2024

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) in dogs is a locally invasive tumor that typically occurs in areas of poorly pigmented skin due to sun exposure. Identifying new biomarkers, such as syndecan-1 (CD138) and E-cadherin, is fundamental for tumor diagnosis and prognosis. Dysregulation of syndecan-1, expressed in epithelial tissue, fibroblasts, and plasma cells, is associated with poor prognosis in several types of cancer. Similarly, E-cadherin, which plays a crucial role in cell adhesion and epithelial functionality, is also linked to adverse outcomes. This study evaluated the expression of syndecan-1 and E-cadherin in 47 cases of canine cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. The results showed that the intensity of syndecan-1 decreased with increasing tumor aggressiveness, and its presence in the stroma was significantly associated with tumor grade. E-cadherin also demonstrated a decrease in intensity with increasing malignancy. However, the association between syndecan-1 and E-cadherin was not statistically significant. E-cadherin reduction and stromal syndecan-1 positivity seem to be associated with tumor aggressiveness in canine cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Further studies are needed to explore their roles in tumor progression.

Published: December 2024

Heavy metals enter river basins through industrial effluents, agricultural wastes, surface run-offs, and other human activities, negatively impacting aquatic and terrestrial life by bioaccumulating in the food chain. This problem is on a continuous rise in under-developed and developing countries, such as in Pakistan. Therefore, the current study was aimed to determine concentrations of heavy metals, essential trace elements, and macrominerals (Zn, Pb, Ni, Mn, Mg, Fe, Cu, Cr, Co, Cd, Ca, and As) in the water, sediments, and tissues (gills, liver, and muscles) of Bagarius bagarius and Bagre marinus in the Jhelum River, Pakistan. The hematological and biochemical profiles of these fish across two sampling sites (Jhelum Bridge Khushab, upstream, and Langarwala Pull—downstream) were also evaluated. Results showed greater bioaccumulation of heavy metals in fish downstream, correlating with higher concentrations of these metals in water and sediments downstream. In the case of B. marinus, the highest concentration observed was 16.59 mg/g (Ca), and the lowest concentration was 9.51 mg/g (Fe). In the case of B. bagarius, the highest concentration observed was 17.47 mg/g (Ca), and the lowest concentration was 7.95 mg/g (Mg). Increased activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were observed downstream. Hematological changes included increased white blood cells (WBCs) and decreased red blood cells (RBCs), lymphocytes, hemoglobin (Hb), platelets (Plt), and hematocrit (Hct). A significant correlation was observed among heavy metals across the water, sediment, and different tissues of B. marinus and B. bagarius. Moreover, principal component analysis (PCA) for both species along both sampling sites illustrated the relationship between fish tissues and metals. The current study concluded that the fish accumulated a significantly higher concentration of heavy metals downstream, which might be linked with dumping of the domestic wastes and industrial and agricultural runoff, adversely affecting both fish and human health.
Characteristics of Suspended Solid Responses to Forest Thinning in Steep Small Headwater Catchments in Coniferous Forest
Authors: Lim Honggeun , Li Qiwen , Choi Byoungki , Choi Hyung Tae , Nam Sooyoun
Published: December 2024

We examined the responses of suspended solids to forest thinning in steep small headwater catchments, PT (0.8 ha) and PR (0.7 ha), that drain a Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) plantation forest. Based on a paired-catchment design, the relationship between total suspended solids (TSS) and the time differential of water runoff (dQ/dt) indicated a difference in the characteristics of TSS in the rising and falling stages within the initial two years after forest thinning. The relatively high initial TSS responded to the concentration-based first flush criterion in the early stage of the rainfall event concentrated in this initial period after the thinning. The rate of TSS event loads in the PT catchment was 4.3-fold greater than that in the PR catchment within the initial two years after forest thinning. This was induced by the low disturbance of soil surface by forest workers using chainsaws and non-heavy machinery. Three years later, the TSS event loads in the PT catchment appeared to decrease due to trapping and settling by protective vegetation. Therefore, mitigating accelerated TSS events during forest thinning requires appropriate site-specific land preparation, particularly for improving stream water quality in forested catchments.

Authors: Hou Feng , Liu Shuai , Yin Wan-Xin , Gan Li-Li , Pang Hong-Tao , Lv Jia-Qiang , Liu Ying , Wang Ai-Jie , Wang Hong-Cheng
Published: December 2024

Methane (CH4) emissions from urban sewer systems represent a significant contributor to greenhouse gases, driven by anaerobic decomposition processes. This review elucidates the mechanisms underlying CH4 production in sewers, which are influenced by environmental factors such as the COD/SO42− ratio, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, flow rate, and hydraulic retention time. We critically evaluated the effectiveness of empirical, mechanistic, and machine learning (ML) models in predicting CH4 emissions, highlighting the limitations of each. This review further examines control strategies, including oxygen injection, iron salt dosing, and nitrate application, emphasizing the importance of balancing CH4 reduction with the operational efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). An integrated approach combining mechanistic and data-driven models is advocated to enhance prediction accuracy and optimize CH4 management across urban sewer systems.

Infanticide as Self-de-facement: Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point"
Authors: Rowland Yana
Published: December 2024

Based on Elizabeth Barrett Browning's The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point (1847), and trusting, at the same time, existential phenomenology and deconstruction, this paper aims at investigating a guilty individual's impulse for self-authorization (and self-narration). It discusses infant mortality, motherhood, and suffering, in which Elizabeth Barrett Browning's oeuvre abounds. Despite the unceasing critical interest in the poet's abolitionist leanings, the ontological uniqueness of The Runaway Slave is yet to be explored, having been dominated so far by militantly politicized researches on women's rights, the religious incongruities of Victorian culture, and the wavering solidarity that nineteenth-century England demonstrated for nations struggling under foreign despotism and illiterate self-government. Infanticide could be perceived as an act of self-de-facement, rather than of self-declaration. Considering muteness against the voicedness of the Face, this paper reveals the travail of a Self's inevitable sacrificial exposure to an Other, and by extension, the foundational role of alterity in authorial intentionality.
Online Teaching and Learning: New Dimensions
Authors: Yankova Diana
Published: December 2024

The article focuses on the variables of foreign language teaching and learning online vis-à-vis traditional classroom methods. Aspects to be discussed range from the subjective factors for both students and tutors that can be motivating (mobile access, swift feedback, automated marking, individual tasks, etc.) or demotivating (technical glitches, lack of technical support, extra work for lecturers, etc.), to objective factors that facilitate online learning in general (increase in student attendance, fast internet, the 'digital natives' generation, among others). Some synchronous, asynchronous and hybrid language learning online platforms will be highlighted with an emphasis on the different possibilities that they present and the weighing of their advantages and drawbacks. This essay will also touch upon the emergence of online education, examining its key drivers, advantages, challenges, and the implications for the future of learning.

Published: December 2024

Realizing the granted right at the local level to resolve issues of labor incentives, the employer must not only clearly fix in local regulations the conditions for the employee to receive incentive payments, but also carefully formulate individual contractual conditions. When dealing with remuneration issues, employers should keep in mind the general
norms, principles of the institute of remuneration and the priority importance of the terms of the employment contract in determining remuneration obligations. Otherwise, in the event of an individual labor dispute, the employer will not be able to refer to acts of the local level, no matter how they formulate the conditions for receiving bonuses in detail.
O ensino da administração em Juiz de Fora: uma análise de sua (a)criticidade
Authors:   , Monteiro Junior René Campos Teixeira
Published: December 2024

O ensino superior em administração tem demonstrado, desde sua gênese, uma tendência para o tecnicismo. Surgiu para atender uma demanda por profissionais capacitados e técnicos no setor público, porém replica essa ideia para o setor privado. Tal característica pode ser encontrada até os dias atuais, tendo, em geral, o administrador uma formação puramente técnica e que muitas vezes não representa a realidade concreta do país. Em contraponto dessas questões, surgiram abordagens que incorporam uma perspectiva mais crítica da realidade, sendo seu uso, porém, pouco frequente nas cadeiras do ensino superior em administração. Desse modo, o objeto central da pesquisa é o de identificar como os professores do curso de administração têm conduzido as disciplinas que ministram, em termos de criticidade. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, com entrevistas direcionadas aos professores que lecionam matérias específicas do curso de administração. Por uma questão de acessibilidade, a investigação foi realizada especificamente na cidade de Juiz de Fora – MG. Pressupõe-se, todavia, que o que foi encontrado não seja exclusivo das instituições pesquisadas, podendo ser similar ao que se verifica em outros locais. A análise dos dados foi efetuada através do emparelhamento (pattern matching) das respostas dos entrevistados com o referencial teórico. Desse modo, foi possível então delimitar que o ensino em administração, em sua grande maioria, está pautado exclusivamente em aspectos técnicos e instrumentais e que a percepção dos professores sobre uma possível pedagogia crítica ocorre de forma confusa, sendo atribuída a essa formação aspectos mais próximos de uma pedagogia tradicional do que crítica de fato.

Authors: Шахбанова М.М.
Published: December 2024

На фоне очень сложных и крайне противоречивых этноязыковых процессов в современном российском обществе изучение языкового поведения людей представляется актуальнейшей задачей. По результатам данного исследования установлено доминирование русского языка как языка межнациональной коммуникации во всех социальных сферах Республики Дагестан. Утверждается, что ослабление статуса национальных языков происходит прежде всего вследствие усиливающихся процессов урбанизации. Автор считает целесообразным принять Закон "О языках народов Республики Дагестан", способствующий сохранению богатейшего языкового наследия народов Страны гор. Ключевые слова: урбанизация, городское население, дагестанские народы, языковое поведение, языковое сознание.

Against the background of the ongoing complex and contradictory ethno-linguistic processes in modern Russian society, the study of the state of national languages, as well as the linguistic behavior of people, seems to be the most urgent task. According to the results of this study, the dominance of the Russian language as the language of interethnic communication in all social spheres of the Republic of Dagestan has been established. The weakening of the status of national languages is due to the increasing processes of urbanization, which neutralizes the ethnic specifics of the region, and secondly, the absence of the Law "The Languages of the peoples of Dagestan", which contributes to preserving of the richest linguistic heritage of the peoples of the Country of Mountains. Keywords: urbanization, urban population, Dagestan peoples, linguistic behavior, linguistic consciousness.

Обсуждаются проблемы и перспективы создания высокогорного заповедно-туристического кластера на базе Шалбуздагского участка недавно созданного в Южном Дагестане национального парка "Самурский". Утверждается о необходимости гармоничного сочетания в этом регионе природно-экологических систем с высокотехнологичными аграрными и промышленными производствами. К стратегическим целям социально-экономического и экологического развития Присамурского региона авторы относят формирование горно-туристического кластера с тремя кольцевыми трассами (малым, средним и большим) и целым рядом отходящих от них линейных туристических маршрутов. Делается вывод, что со временем Шалбуздагский заповедно-туристический кластер станет ядром горной рекреационной системы Южного Дагестана.

The problems and prospects of creating a high-mountain protected tourism cluster on the basis of Shalbuzdag site of the recently created Samursky National Park in South Dagestan are discussed. The need for a harmonious combination ofnatural and ecological systems with high-tech agricultural and industrial production inthis region is argued. The authors consider the formation of a mountain tourism cluster with three ring routes (small, medium and large) and a number of linear tourist routes departing from them as strategic goals of the socio-economic and environmental development of the Samur region. It is concluded that over time Shalbuzdag protected tourist cluster will become the core of the mountainous recreational system of Southern Dagestan.

Authors: Салаватова Ф.Р.
Published: December 2024

Проблема формирования и развития жанров приобретает в современном литературоведении все большее значение в качестве одного из ведущих факторов, в наибольшей мере характеризующих процессы, происходящие в той или иной литературе. В частности, можно отметить, что в литературоведении народов России в последние десятилетия все большее место начинают занимать малые по форме, емкие по содержанию литературные жанры. Одним из таких жанров является парса. Необходимость проведения подобного рода исследований, когда современная башкирская литература переживает чрезвычайно интересный, сложный и далеко неоднозначный период своего развития, эта работа предопределяет актуальность и неизбежность комплексных исследований, направленных на детальный анализ места того или иного малого жанра в системе жанров литературы.

The problem of the formation and development of genres is becoming increasingly important in modern literary studies as one of the leading factors that most characterize the processes taking place in a particular literature. In particular, it can be noted that in the literary studies of the peoples of Russia in recent decades, small in form, capacious in content literary genres have begun to occupy an increasing place. One of these genres is parsa. The need for this kind of research, when modern Bashkir literature is going through an extremely interesting, complex and far ambiguous period of its development, this work determines the relevance and inevitability of comprehensive research aimed at a detailed analysis of the place of a particular small genre in the system of genres of literature

В статье раскрываются возможности университетской системы образования в согласованном решении задач профессионального обучения и духовно-нравственного воспитания студентов. Относительная автономия и инновационность, открытость и способность к самоорганизации создают особую университетскую среду, представляющую собой полифонию культурных стереотипов и ментальностей. Авторы призывают к предельно осторожным, глубоко продуманным и социально оправданным подходам к совершенствованию системы университетского образования. Описываются компетентностная и гуманистическая модели такой системы, делающие упор, с одной стороны, на подготовку специалистов посредством внедрения передовых информационных технологий, а с другой – на реализацию принципа самоценности образования как предпосылки развития творческой, высококультурной личности.

The authors of the article reveal the possibilities of the university education system in the coordinated solution of the tasks of vocational training and spiritual and moral education of students. The relative autonomy and innovation, openness and the ability to self-organize create a special university environment, which is a polyphony of cultural stereotypes and mentalities. The authors call for an extremely cautious, deeply thought-out and socially justified approach to improving the university education system. They describe the competence and humanistic models of this system, focusing, on the one hand, on the specialists’ training through the introduction of advanced information technologies, and on the other hand, on implementing the education inherent value principle as a prerequisite for the development of a creative, highly cultured personality.

Este texto tiene como propósito presentar la traducción al español de “Escuela Popular de Adultos y Escuela de Partido” de Hermann Heller. A estos fines, tras introducir algunas notas sobre su contexto de producción en los primeros años de la Alemania de Weimar, así como sobre la trayectoria biográfica e intelectual del propio Heller, se atiende el actual contexto de recepción. En particular, el problema del adoctrinamiento en las universidades públicas, tal como ha sido denunciado en los últimos tiempos por algunos sectores políticos en Argentina. Según se sostiene, en tanto permite reflexionar sobre el vínculo intrínseco que une la educación con la política, el escrito de Heller supone un insumo significativo en esta discusión en torno a la naturaleza y al alcance del presunto adoctrinamiento y un incentivo para actualizar el papel cívico-político que tiene la formación universitaria.
Optimization of Variable Combinations for Household Electricity Consumption Prediction Using a Multivariate Time Series Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Akhmad Faeda Insani  , Ahmad Mushawir  , Zainuddin  , Aditya Adiaksa  , Sparisoma Viridi
Published: December 2024

Accurate household electricity consumption prediction is vital for effective energy planning in Indonesia, a nation facing rapid economic growth and technological advancements. Inaccurate predictions can lead to inefficiencies in resource allocation and energy shortages. Traditional methods like ARIMA struggle with non-linear patterns, long-term dependencies, and multivariate relationships critical in understanding electricity consumption dynamics. To address these challenges, this study employs the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm with a multivariate time series approach, chosen for its ability to capture complex patterns and long-term trends. The dataset comprises monthly electricity consumption data (2004–2023) from PT PLN, enriched with macroeconomic and environmental variables like Household Consumption GDP, inflation, and average temperature. The Denton-Chollete method was used to transform quarterly GDP data into monthly intervals, and correlation analysis identified Household Consumption GDP (r=0.98) and Power Contract Additions (r=0.64) as significant predictors. Testing 63 feature combinations, the best (Power Contract Additions, Household Consumption GDP, and Household Electricity Consumption) achieved a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 3.54%. These results highlight LSTM's superiority in handling dynamic and complex electricity consumption patterns and provide a robust predictive tool for PT PLN. This study underscores the importance of exploring additional variables and advanced optimisation techniques to enhance predictive accuracy further.
The genus Camillea (Xylariales) in Argentina’s Yungas: a comprehensive morphological study with two new species and identification key
Authors: Sir Esteban Benjamin , Ceriani Nakamurakae Esteban Daniel
Published: December 2024

From an exhaustive taxonomic survey of Xylariales carried out in the subtropical montane forest of the Argentine northwest (“Las Yungas”), a first comprehensive revision of Camillea for the country is presented. Based on a new combination of sexual and asexual morphology, C. hladkiae and C. romeroae are proposed as new species for the genus; C. hladkiae is principally distinguished by its conidiogenous structure from similar species such as C. guzmanii and C. magnifica. On the other hand, C. romeroae is mainly differentiated from other known species of Camillea by the ornamentation of the ascospores under SEM. Additionally, the conidiogenous structure of C. coroniformis, C. flosculosa, C. hainesii, C. hyalospora and C. signata are described and illustrated for the first time. Furthermore, four species reports are new for the Southern Cone of South America (C. coroniformis, C. hainesii, C. hyalospora and C. signata) and three are a novelty for Argentine Yunga (C. flosculosa, C. obularia and C. punctulata). Finally, full descriptions, illustrations of all species and a dichotomous key to the identification of Camillea species for the region are provided

Australia’s “Moment of Truth” and the Burden of Historical Proof
Authors: Graves Matthew
Published: December 2024

The intensification of efforts since the turn of the millenium to uncover and map sites where massacres of indigenous Australians are said to have taken place during the frontier wars participate in what Mark McKenna calls “Australia’s moment of truth”—the culmination of the work of diverse agencies to recover “forgotten” histories and remake Australia’s national narrative by coming to terms with its violent colonial past. Yet, substantiating violence and dispossession that is shrouded in centuries of forgetting and denial continues to prove problematical and controversial in the wake of the History Wars. Faced with the challenges of gathering irrefutable evidence, authors have turned to historical fiction or literary memoir to probe frontier massacres, and historians to archeology and the earth sciences to supplement and proof-test scarce sources. Can forensic science and GIS be trusted to provide corroboration “when the truth may only be ashes and dust”, or are shifting burdens and standards of historical proof gradually reframing the national story?
La thèse de Léonie Villard : Jane Austen, sa vie et son œuvre (1775‑1817) (Lyon : A. Rey / Paris : A. Picard & Fils, 1915)
Authors: Massei-Chamayou Marie-Laure
Published: December 2024

En 1915, Léonie Villard soutint la première thèse consacrée à Jane Austen en France, publiée sous le titre Jane Austen, sa vie et son œuvre (1775‑1817). C’est ce travail de recherche qu’il s’agit ici de redécouvrir dans ses différentes dimensions, en gardant bien à l’esprit le contexte singulier de l’époque où il fut rédigé : ainsi, comment Léonie Villard justifie‑t‑elle son choix d’une romancière britannique presque inconnue en France en 1915 ? Que révèle sa bibliographie au sujet de la réception de l’œuvre austenienne en France, en Grande‑Bretagne et aux États‑Unis, tant par le grand public que le milieu universitaire et la critique, entre 1811 et 1913 ? Peut‑on considérer qu’il s’agit là de la première thèse de doctorat soutenue sur Jane Austen dans le monde ? Si l’objectif, modestement énoncé dans la préface, était de ne proposer qu’une « nouvelle biographie de la romancière », cette thèse remarquable par son érudition, innovante par son sujet et étonnante par certaines de ses réflexions va bien au‑delà et prouve que Léonie Villard avait d’emblée compris l’importance que prendrait Jane Austen dans l’histoire littéraire.
La Muraille bleue de Léonie Villard : de l’histoire vécue du Journal de guerre à la fiction rédemptrice
Authors: Jones-Davies Margaret
Published: December 2024

Le roman se présente comme la biographie datée de 1572 d’une femme française abandonnée sur une île déserte au large du Canada. Léonie Villard s’est fondée sur ses recherches sur l’Amérique du Nord. Ses sources sont un conte de Marguerite de Navarre et un récit du cosmographe André Thevet. Ce roman d’exil et de solitude d’une insupportable cruauté devient, sous la plume de Léonie Villard, l’histoire d’une rédemption inspirée par les épreuves réelles qu’elle a dû traverser pendant la guerre et qu’elle a su transcender par l’écriture.
Climate change in Finland, Germany, Uruguay and China: observed changes and future projections derived from CMIP6 global climate models
Authors: Ruosteenoja Kimmo , Hautala Joona , Rantanen Mika
Published: December 2024

This report examines recent past changes in mean temperature and precipitation and future climate projections in four areas where the UPM-Kymmene company operates: Finland, Germany, Uruguay and China. Observational changes over 1961–2023 are derived from the ERA5 reanalysis and future projections from CMIP6 global climate models. Three greenhouse gas scenarios are considered: the SSP1-2.6 scenario represents low, SSP2-4.5 medium and SSP5-8.5 very high future emissions. All projections are presented with respect to the period 1981--2010, and main focus is placed on the changes projected for the period 2040–2069 under SSP2-4.5. In addition, we discuss changes in indices representing extreme heat, excessive precipitation events and the occurrence of drought.

Observational seasonal temperatures have already shown a statistically significant increase. For precipitation, interannual variability is large, and no statistically significant trends were found, apart from Finland in winter. In the future, mean temperatures are projected to increase in all four regions, even though inter-model differences in the magnitude of change are substantial. In conjunction with the general warming, hot extremes will become increasingly frequent.

For variables other than temperature, there is at least some degree of model disagreement on the sign of the change. However, it is likely that precipitation will increase in Finland in winter and decrease in Germany in summer. Extreme precipitation evidently intensifies in all four regions. In Germany, the risk of drought is expected to increase especially in late summer.

Solar radiation is projected to increase in Finland and Germany (especially in summer) and in China (in all seasons). An important factor behind this phenomenon is the decrease of aerosol load in the air. For relative humidity, a substantial decrease is projected for Germany in summer.

In the second half of the 21st century, the magnitude of climate change depends strongly on the evolution of greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, if emissions were effectively reduced, the changes would probably be weaker than those simulated under the SSP2-4.5 scenario.

Fiscal policy is a pivotal instrument in achieving national development, particularly in resource-constrained
economies. It encompasses revenue generation, expenditure allocation, and fiscal accountability mechanisms to
address economic imbalances, foster equitable growth, and ensure sustainable development. This study
examined the nexus between fiscal policy and national development, emphasizing the theoretical, empirical, and
practical dimensions of fiscal frameworks.Using a qualitative research approach, the study analysed Nigeria’s
fiscal challenges and compares its fiscal strategies with those of South Africa and Rwanda. The findings reveal
that while Nigeria struggles with fiscal discipline and dependency on volatile oil revenues, South Africa and
Rwanda exhibit stronger fiscal governance and targeted expenditures that promote inclusive growth. This
research provides practical recommendations for policymakers, emphasizing the need for fiscal reforms
tailored to Nigeria’s socio-economic context. By leveraging fiscal policy effectively, Nigeria can achieve
sustainable economic growth and improved development outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to examine the current state of Pre-University College libraries in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. To achieve this, a survey method was employed to gather accurate and comprehensive data. The study reviewed existing literature and included a total of 307 colleges across both districts. Out of these, 190 colleges with active libraries were selected for the survey, including 57 Government, 47 Aided, and 86 Un-aided colleges. Of these, 73.16% are located in rural areas, while 26.84% are situated in urban areas. The findings reveal that only 22.63% of the libraries are managed by professionally qualified librarians, while 74.21% are overseen by non-professional staff, and 3.16% by semi-professionals. Currently, 4 Government colleges and 3 Aided colleges have permanent librarians. The study highlights the significant neglect of library development within the Indian education system, specifically in the context of Pre-University colleges in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts in Karnataka

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving in the modern world of the present, becoming more ubiquitous, and holds great potential to transform the management process. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to revolutionize the daily work of managers, their functions, and interactions. Over the next decade, we can expect even more rapid advances in the development process of artificial intelligence and its applications. Therefore, it is important to understand the significance of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on the management process. This technology is increasingly integrated in various areas of enterprise management. Artificial intelligence involves a variety of techniques and algorithms that allow computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as transforming management through process automation, planning, organizing, storing large databases, improving decision-making, image recognition, language translation, saving money and time, and increasing efficiency in various business areas. These include machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing. Artificial intelligence occupies a key role in modern management, enabling enterprises to be competitive in a rapidly changing business environment. Its implementation requires a strategic approach, but the benefits in the form of improved processes, greater accuracy, and a better understanding of data are of great importance for the advancement of management and the progress of enterprises in general.

Background: The inconsistency in the results of previous research conducted regarding competency, motivation and completeness of nursing documents motivated the research was carry out. Objective: This study aimed to examine empirical evidence regarding the mediation of disclosure of supervision techniques on competence and motivation on the completeness of nursing documentation. Method: A quantitative study with the cross-sectional approach was conducted in this study. This study was conducted in the dr. Achmad Diponegoro hospital. Forty-five respondents were involved in this study which is selected using the purposively sampling. We applied the path analysis to examine the association between competency, motivation, and supervision technique with completeness of nursing documentation. Result: The research results show empirical evidence that simultaneously competence and motivation have a positive and significant effect on supervision techniques. Competence, motivation and supervision techniques have a positive and significant effect on the completeness of nursing documentation. However, supervision techniques were not successful in mediating the influence of competence and motivation on the completeness of nursing documentation because the direct influence was greater than the indirect influence. Implication: The implication of the research is that management must provide training and provide facilities so that health workers can improve their competence and hold activities or awards for health workers who have good performance in recording nursing documents so that their motivation increases
