The Land of the Sad Songs: Belarusian National Identity through Polish Documentary films in the 1930s
Authors: Dashuk Volha
Published: January 2024

Belarusian national identity is a taboo subject in Belarus nowadays, unless identity is understood in a Soviet/Lukashenko way. So for Belarusians, who have gone through national destruction more than once, this issue is not just a usual research topic but a crucial question that can contribute to national survival. In the 1920s-30s a part of Belarusian lands belonged to Poland and Polish filmmakers shot some documentaries there, which turned out to be the sole materials since whatever was taken in Soviet Belarus at this time, got burned later. This research aims to determine what these visual materials communicate, how they can add to the Belarusian identity and why it is important for modern Belarus and its cinema.
Empowerment of Islamic Ethics and Javanese Hindu Ethics in the Formation of National Character
Authors: Daryono  , Suparman Syukur
Published: January 2024

This research seeks to examine the strengthening of Islamic and Hindu ethics in Java, playing a pivotal role in shaping the character of Javanese society and extending influence to the broader Indonesian community. Given the dominance of Javanese traditions, particularly in societal behavior, the empowerment process unfolds through interconnection and transformation within religious activities. This process brings forth the inherent genius of the local Javanese populace, fostering a religious dimension. This empowerment occurs by emphasizing the concentration of feelings (rasa) as the basis for behavior and the objectification of Javanese people's religious beliefs. The analysis methodology adopts content analysis with a comparative approach and an anthropolinguistic perspective. The goal of this methodological approach is to unveil the mechanism for cultivating profound self-awareness in relation to others, translating acquired knowledge (kaweruh) into tangible actions as a religious model. The resulting model of religious objectification represents the local genius and behavioral characteristics of Javanese Muslims. The study reveals that the features of religious objectification, expressing the truths inherited from ancestors, transform into local wisdom with an Islamic or Hindu religious essence. This transformation is indicated by three key Javanese cultural values: harmony, functional structure, and transcendental aspects. The applicability of these three values, especially for the Surakarta and Yogyakarta areas, also serves as an identity for the ethos of religious harmony and a factor in forming the behavioral character of Javanese Muslims and may extend to influence the Indonesian people in general.

Authors: Udin Udin
Published: January 2024

Modern workplaces are in need of a nuanced understanding of diverse leadership styles to effectively address their unique challenges and opportunities. This implies that the study of laissez-faire leadership holds significant value as it provides a comprehensive insight into leadership styles, practical applications, and impact on individuals, teams, and organizations. Leaders well-versed in the hands-off approach can strategically use the approach to harmonize with the goals and characteristics of team members and organizations. Therefore, this research aimed to provide a systematic and thorough analysis of global trends in leadership, specifically focusing on the laissez-faire leadership style, through a bibliometric approach. The Scopus database was adopted to analyze and categorize all open-access English literature published from 1993 to 2023. VOSviewer software was also used for the graphical mapping of the scientific landscape. Out of 552 documents from the Scopus database related to laissez-faire leadership, 85 were selected for in-depth bibliometric analysis to comprehensively assess the current state and anticipate future trends. The results showed a significant upward trajectory in the literature, indicating that laissez-faire leadership had profound effects on organizations and their members. On one hand, the hands-off approach enhanced job satisfaction, organizational commitment, work engagement, motivation, rewards, and employee well-being. Laissez-faire leadership could also lead to significantly higher levels of emotional exhaustion, job stress, burnout, and workplace bullying. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2023-04-03-08 Full Text: PDF

POWER AND TRUST: A MEDIATOR IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROCEDURAL JUSTICE AND TAX COMPLIANCE IN INDONESIA
Authors: Stilia Lilian Yuniar , Riandoko Riko , Kartiko Nafis Dwi
Published: January 2024

This study analyses the connection between procedural justice, trust and power concerning tax compliance in Indonesia and investigates the mediating influence of trust and power tax authorities hold in this relationship. While various factors play a role in tax compliance behaviour in Indonesia, the country still struggles to achieve maximum compliance, falling short of international standards in terms of tax ratio. Only half of Indonesians have confidence in the tax system, and procedural justice is closely linked to power and trust. This study is groundbreaking as it is the first to investigate these three factors simultaneously in Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed, with data gathered from 371 taxpayers and analyzed using the PLS-SEM method. The findings indicate that legitimate power and trust are positively associated with voluntary tax compliance and function as mediators between procedural justice and tax compliance. However, no correlation was found between procedural justice and tax compliance or between coercive power and tax compliance. To enhance taxpayer compliance in Indonesia, it is recommended to bolster trust in the tax authority and its jurisdictions. This study addresses a gap in the tax compliance literature. It enhances the theoretical framework, providing valuable practical insights for compliance improvement strategies, particularly for the Indonesian Directorate General of Taxes. The findings support developing more effective policies, improving tax education, and promoting transparency to strengthen public trust and compliance.

Authors: Afriza Zelda Nora , Muhani Nova , Sari Nurhalina , Sari Fitri Eka
Published: January 2024

In 2017, 43.2% of children under five in Indonesia had an energy deficit and 28.5% had a mild deficit. For protein adequacy, 31.9% of toddlers experienced a protein deficit and 14.5% experienced a mild deficit. The high prevalence of stunting is a priority that must be resolved with local food sources that are abundant and high in nutritional content, namely moringa leaves. Moringa leaves have high nutritional content and are easily available in the surrounding environment, but are still very diverse in their utilization. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the utilization of moringa leaves by mothers of toddlers in preventing stunting in Sumber Rejo Village. This study is a quantitative study with a Cross Sectional design with a population and sample size of 120 respondents with total sampling technique and univariate and bivariate analysis tests using Chi Square. Respondents who had insufficient knowledge were 13.3%, respondents who had a negative attitude were 43.3%, respondents who did not have moringa availability were 23.3% and respondents who had a moringa consumption pattern were 11.7% and respondents who did not utilize moringa leaves were 40%. There is a relationship between knowledge (p-value 0.039), attitude (p-value 0.000), moringa availability (p-value 0.034) and moringa consumption patterns (p-value 0.000) with the utilization of moringa by mothers of toddlers in preventing stunting in Sumber Rejo Village. It is hoped that health workers will conduct education or counseling for mothers of toddlers to increase the knowledge of mothers of toddlers about the use of moringa and it is hoped that mothers will improve moringa consumption patterns for toddlers and families with various variations of moringa preparations in order to increase the utilization of moringa as food intake for stunting prevention.

Abstract. Inadequate or poor-quality sleep can cause disturbances in cognitive and psychological functioning as well as a decrease in physical health. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of anxiety on sleep quality in FK Unisba students who were preparing their thesis during the COVID-19 pandemic for the 2021/2022 academic year. This study used an analytic observational research method with a cross-sectional design. The research subjects totaled 134 students who were selected by a simple random sampling technique and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection was taken using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale questionnaire to assess anxiety levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess sleep quality. Data were analyzed using the chi-square statistical test. The results showed that the majority of anxiety levels were in the mild category, with as many as 49 respondents (36.57%), with 44 people (32.84%) experiencing poor sleep quality. The results of the value analysis give a p of 0.003 which indicates that the level of anxiety experienced by students affects the quality of sleep. Poor sleep quality causes students who are preparing their thesis to experience various obstacles due to bold preparation which can trigger anxiety so that students do not get peace to sleep.

Bleeding from Varices: Still a Heavy Burden in Patients with Cirrhosis
Authors: Amitrano L , Guardascione MA , Saviano S , Martino A , Lombardi G
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Bleeding from varices is a severe complication in patients with cirrhosis. Despite its treatment has been well established in the last three decades the mortality can be still high. This study compares the epidemiological features and the bleeding-related outcomes of a group of patients published about ten years ago with a more recent group of 168 consecutive patients. Methods: The diagnosis, the treatment, and the main outcomes (5-day failure, 5-day and 6-week rebleeding, 5-day and 6-week mortality) of variceal bleeding were evaluated according to the current guidelines. Results: The number of patients with cirrhosis admitted for variceal bleeding every year has progressively decreased in the last ten years. The age sex and severity of liver disease, evaluated with Child Pugh and MELD scores, were comparable in the two series. In the more recent series, there were significantly fewer patients with HCV infection and more patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis. The main outcomes of bleeding were comparable too. Overall, at 6 weeks 36.4% of patients did not overcome the bleeding episode. Conclusion: The decreasing incidence of bleeding from varices is likely attributable to antiviral treatment of HCV and HBV and the larger diffusion of beta-blockers in primary prophylaxis. Despite the larger application of the gold standard therapy, the mortality of variceal bleeding remains high in patients with cirrhosis.
Modeling the Risk of Liver Cancer in Adults: A Machine Learning Investigation into the Role of Obesity and Overweight
Authors: Karamo Bah , Adama Ns Bah , Amadou Wurry Jallow
Published: January 2024

Background: Liver cancer is a global health concern, with overweight and obese individuals exhibiting an increased risk of its development. Understanding the interplay between obesity-related factors and liver cancer incidence is crucial for early prediction and intervention. Aim: The aim of this investigation was to construct and validate an extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) based machine learning model for the purpose of establishing a one-year liver cancer risk prediction system specifically tailored to overweight and obese patients. In addition, this study sought to compare the predictive performance of the XGBoost model with those of a random forest model and a logistic regression model, while also identifying the most influential predictive features for liver cancer incidence. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective analysis was conducted on MIMIC III data comprising 2,354 patients. To predict the risk of liver cancer development, three machine learning models were developed: XGBoost, random forest, and logistic regression. Feature selection was executed using a stepwise regression procedure encompassing both forward selection and backward elimination. Results: The stepwise regression technique unveiled 14 predictive factors for liver cancer incidence. Among the patient cohort, 132 individuals developed liver cancer within a year of follow-up, while 2,222 did not. Notably, most liver cancer cases occurred in male patients (60%). Statistically significant differences were observed between patients with liver cancer and those without, in terms of age, gender, total bilirubin, platelet, albumin, chloride, potassium, sodium, prothrombin time (PT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). The XGBoost model exhibited an impressive area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 99%, Random Forest (RF) of 99%, and Logistic Regression (LR) of 90%. In a multivariate analysis, total bilirubin, creatinine levels, age, gender, ALT, alkaline phosphate (ALP), PT, calcium, and chloride emerged as independent predictors for liver cancer incidence. Conclusion: The XGBoost model demonstrated superior predictive performance when compared to the RF and LR models. If corroborated through prospective studies, the XGBoost model may prove to be a valuable tool for the early prediction of liver cancer risk in overweight or obese individuals. Such predictive capabilities could, in turn, facilitate the implementation of timely preventive interventions against liver cancer.

Published: January 2024

Aim: The aim is to clarify the prevalence of nonadherence to antidiabetic therapies among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and identify its causes.

Methods: A three-part questionnaire (general background, Knowledge-Attitude-Practice section, and non-adherence reasons) was developed. In total 324 diabetic patients were surveyed via telephone. The evaluation of patient adherence included both direct questions on adherence and a summary of patient responses to non-adherence comments. The analysis was performed on StataCorp Stata 14.2, and included descriptive analysis, simple and multivariate logistic regression.

Findings: Among the sociodemographic variables, age group, work level, and alcohol consumption may influence medication adherence. The comorbidity status of patients was also of relevance. Both variables had stronger relationships with adherence to anti-diabetic treatments compared to those with no comorbidities or no additional medicines. A strength of the study is that it addresses various medical diseases and attitudes about them, as well as a wide range of causes for non-adherence to non-diabetic medications.

Published: January 2024

La papaya (Carica papaya L.) es un fruto tropical de gran interés socio- económico en Perú. Su principal forma de propagación es mediante semillas, las cuales presentan una gran desuniformidad en la germinación. El objetivo fue evaluar tres dosis de ácido giberélico (AG3) y dos tiempos de imbibición en la germinación de semillas de papaya criolla. La investigación se realizó en el departamento de Morfofisiología Vegetal de la Universidad Nacional de Piura (5 10 33” S, 8037’17” O, 30 m.s.n.m) de febrero a marzo de 2023. Se realizó un diseño completo al azar con cuatro tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones, con 20 semillas por repetición. Los datos se analizaron mediante un análisis de varianza (ANOVA) y la Prueba de Diferencia Mínima Significativa (LSD) de Fisher (p 0,05), utilizando el software estadístico Stagraphics versión 19. Los tratamientos fueron: T0 (testigo: agua), T1 (150 mg L-1 AG3), T2 (200 mg L-1 AG3), y T3 (250 mg L-1 AG3), durante 12 y 24 h de imbibición. Los parámetros evaluados fueron: porcentaje de germinación (PG), velocidad de germinación (VG), primer día de germinación (PDG) e índice de germinación (IG). Las semillas tratadas por 24 h de imbibición y a mayor concentración de AG3, mejoraron el PG en 72,5%, la velocidad de germinación con 1,26 semillas germinadas por día, y el índice de germinación con 8,3, y redujeron el tiempo de inicio de germinación a 6 días. Se concluye que el tratamiento con 250 mg L-1 de AG3 durante 24 h de imbibición mejoró las variables evaluadas en las semillas de papaya Criolla.
The toxicity of mixture of earring leaf and root extract (Acalypha indica L.) against Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae mortality
Authors: Dwi Wahyuni
Published: January 2024

Tropical regions such as Indonesia are known to have optimal conditions of humidity and temperature that are very conductive for the survival of insects, including the Aedes aeypti mosquito which contains the Dengue virus. Until now, people still use chemical control using chemically active larvicides such as temephos. The continued use of temephos can cause the mosquito vector to become resistant to the next generation and be harmful to the environment. One way to control vectors can be done biologically by using natural insecticides, a mixture of leaf and root extracts of the earrings plant (Acalypha indica L.). The study used a mixture of leaf and root extracts of the earrings (Acalypha indica L.) plant using 7 treatments consisting of 5 serial concentrations of 250ppm, 500ppm, 750ppm, 800ppm and 1000ppm, 1 positive control using Aedes and 1 negative control using Abate. The concentration that can kill 50% of Aedes aegypti larvae or (LC50) within 24 hours of exposure is 766,000ppm. The plants contain secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids and steroids which is toxic to the larvae of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

Published: January 2024

Brugada Syndrome (BS) is a rare genetic disease that can be fatal with malignant arrhythmias. It has been stated that drugs, which are frequently used in anesthesia practice, electrolytic or autonomic imbalance, fever, and infections can trigger cardiac arhythm and sudden cardiac death even in asymptomatic patients. Here we describe a patient who diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome in third preoperative evaluation. A 60-year-old male patient was scheduled for an infected knee prosthesis. The patient's preoperative laboratory findings were normal except for ECG changes. There was ST segment elevation in V1 and V2 leads in the ECG. The patient was consulted with the cardiology clinic and was evaluated as Brugada Syndrome ECG type 1. There is no consensus regarding the application and technique of anesthesia for these patients. We decided to apply general anesthesia because we could provide better hemodynamic stabilization. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. There were no adverse events observed during the anesthetic management and discharged from the hospital on the second postoperative day. We emphasize the importance of detailed preoperative evaluation each time, even in patients with a known anesthesia history.

Published: January 2024

This research aimed to assess the effectiveness of implementing the roundtable technique in enhancing descriptive writing skills among eighth-grade students at SMP Simanjaya Lamongan. The research utilized a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. Data analysis involved the application of a paired sample t-test to ascertain the presence of a significant effect before and after the intervention. This research included a sample of 30 students from the eighth grade at SMP Simanjaya Lamongan. The findings of the research indicated a notable improvement in students' writing skills when employing the roundtable technique. This was evident in the average scores obtained by students on both the pretest and posttest. The mean score increased from 73.60 during the pretest to 83.03 in the posttest. The researcher then conducted a paired sample t-test to address the research question. The results of the t-test analysis revealed that the p-value (probability value) was below the significance level α (0.00 < 0.05). Consequently, the null hypothesis (Ho), asserting no significant effect of the roundtable technique on students' descriptive writing skills, was rejected. The acceptance of the alternative hypothesis led to the conclusion that the roundtable technique had a significant positive effect on the students' writing skills in producing descriptive texts.

Current Brazilian legislation for the treatment of drinking water does not require analysis for micropollutants such as the antibiotic amoxicillin. However, the presence of these compounds in the environment is directly linked to bacterial resistance, and the development of methodologies focusing on their removal is necessary. A few alternatives, such as Advanced Oxidative Processes, have already been proposed and, more recently, studies have shown that certain enzymes, like peroxidases, have the ability to degrade micropollutants in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In this sense, the present study aims to evaluate the enzymatic degradation of 25 mg L-1 amoxicillin using peroxidase. For the specific method, amoxicillin solutions were fed to a batch reactor and different concentrations of peroxidase combined with varying H2O2 concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 mmol L-1) were added. Reactions occurred for 9 hours. All samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and the residual toxicity was assessed using Daphnia magna. The results showed around 50% degradation of the drug, and byproducts originating from amoxicillin were identified. Toxicological tests indicated that the byproducts were minimally toxic to the microcrustacean, highlighting the importance of evaluating the safety of proposed treatments.
YABANCIYA YÖNELİK MERAKIN NİYETLENİLMEMİŞ SONUÇLARI: AFRİKA KÖKENLİ SİYAHİ ÖĞRENCİLER VE IRKSAL TEMELLİ MİKRO SALDIRGANLIKLAR
Authors: ÜNAL Serdar
Published: January 2024

Türkiye’de yükseköğrenim düzeyinde yabancı uyruklu öğrenciler geldikleri ülkeler bakımından çeşitlilik göstermektedir. Çalışmada yabancıyla karşılaşmalar anlamında daha az tecrübesi olan orta ölçekli bir kent olarak kabul edilen Aydın ilinde lisans eğitimi görmekte olan Afrika kökenli siyah tenli yabancı öğrenciler hedef alınmıştır. Mikro saldırganlık(lar) genellikle bilinçsizce, niyetlenilmemiş ve örtük bir şekilde yapılan ama bazen bilinçli ya da niyetlenilmiş olarak da yapılabilen küçümseyici, aşağılayıcı, kaba sözler ya da önemsemez bakışlar, jestler ve tonlar biçiminde açığa çıkar. Bu nedenle, çalışmada Afrika kökenli siyah tenli yabancı öğrencilerin yerel halkın kasıtlı, niyetlenilmiş ya da niyetlenilmemiş eylemlerinin sonucunda açığa çıkabilen ırksal temelli mikro saldırgan ayrımcı davranışlara maruz kalma durumları mikro yorumlayıcı anlayışa uygun olarak nitel araştırma deseni temelinde anlaşılmaya ve keşfedilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla, Afrika kökenli öğrencilerin maruz kalabildikleri mikro saldırganlıklar belirli alt temalar veya kategoriler etrafında tanımlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada, Afrika kökenli siyah tenli öğrencilerin içinde yaşadıkları kentteki yaşam deneyimleri açısından aleni, kaba veya niyetlenilmiş ayrımcılık biçimleriyle daha az karşılaşsalar da örtük, bilinçsiz veya niyetlenilmemiş türden mikro saldırgan davranışlara daha fazla maruz kalabildikleri tespit edilmiştir. Bu anlamda, yabancıyla olan ilişkide aleni ya da kasti bir ayrımcı amaç taşısa da taşımasa da bu tür bir yaklaşım, yaşamın içine sızarak gündelik dili ve eylemleri işgal eder hale gelmektedir. Böylelikle de mikro saldırgan ayrımcı davranışlar egzotikleştirme, nesneleştirme, aynılaştırma, deneyimsel gerçekliklerin yadsınması, zeka düzeyi atfetme, şakalar, lakaplar, nezaketsiz tavırlar vasıtasıyla sürekli olarak kendini yeniden üretmeye devam etmektedir.

Pada pelaksanaan proyek konstruksi terdapat 3 indikator keberhasilan proyek yaitu, tepat biaya, waktu dan mutu. Untuk mencapai 3 indikator tersebut perlu dilakukan perencanaan, penjadwalan, dan pengendalian. Sekarang jarang ditemui suatu proyek yang berjalan tepat sesuai dengan yang sudah direncanakan. Untuk menghindari kerugian dapat dilakukan pengendalian proyek baik dalam aspek biaya dan waktu dengan menggunakan metode Earned Value Analysis. Metode ini merupakan perhitungan pada Rencana Anggaran Biaya (RAB), Time Schedule, Analisa Harga Satuan Pekerjaan (AHSP), laporan bulanan pembiayaan proyek dan laporan bulanan kemajuan proyek. Dari hasil analisis data, Proyek Pembangunan Aula Lembaga Penjaminan Mutu Pendidikan Provinsi Kalimantan Timur pada perhitungan nilai BCWS didapatkan Rp 99.563.040, perhitungan nilai BCWP pada minggu ke-15 dengan bobot actual 1,96 didapatkan Rp 180.688.480, Kemudian untuk perhitungan perkiraan biaya menyelesaikan pekerjaan (Estimate At Completion) nilai ETC adalah Rp 2.082.586.564 nilai EAC adalah Rp 9.137.194.528. Dari hasil perhitungan perkiraan penyelesaian proyek pada akhir peninjauan di minggu ke-15 membutuhkan waktu selama 106 hari. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa proyek akan mengalami keterlambatan waktu dan penambahan biaya jika kinerja proyek tetap sama seperti pada minggu ke-15. Kemudian selama kegiatan berlangsung tidak ada permasalahan di mutu, sehingga disimpulkan untuk mutu bersifat baik

Untuk mengoptimalkan pemrosesan data besar dengan Hadoop, komputasi awan menyediakan infrastruktur yang mudah digunakan, menggabungkan layanan private cloud dengan Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Dalam skripsi ini, peneliti mengkarakterisasi dan menilai kinerja eksekusi data besar pada instans kluster virtual Hadoop MapReduce yang dibangun di private cloud Universitas Mataram. Dengan algoritma Skyline Query, kluster diuji dengan variasi data, mesin, dan ukuran blok HDFS pada 3 jenis data sintetis: anti-correlated, correlated, dan independent. Parameter waktu eksekusi digunakan untuk membandingkan hasil dengan kluster Hadoop pada infrastruktur fisik. Hasil pengujian kluster private cloud menunjukkan peningkatan waktu komputasi saat data meningkat dari 1,5 juta menjadi 12 juta pada 4 mesin: data anti-correlated (168%), correlated (194%), independent (126%). Tren serupa terjadi pada kluster Hadoop fisik. Pada skenario lainnya, kluster private cloud menunjukkan kinerja yang lebih baik dengan penambahan mesin hingga 7, sementara kluster Hadoop fisik mengalami overhead communication antar node ketika mesin diskalakan menjadi 7 mesin. Pemrosesan data 12 juta dengan ukuran blok HDFS 512 MB dan 7 mesin merupakan blocksize paling optimal karena menghasilkan waktu eksekusi terpendek. Berdasarkan uji statistik t menggunakan rata-rata waktu komputasi, disimpulkan bahwa kluster Hadoop di private cloud dengan spesifikasi Intel(R) Xeon (R) E3-1225 v5 @ 3,30 GHz RAM 16 GB lebih unggul dalam mengeksekusi aplikasi Skyline dibanding kluster Hadoop fisik dengan spesifikasi Intel Core i5 CPU @ 3,00GHz 4GB RAM.
