Pharmacotherapy of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Comparison of Clinical Response with Adalimumab and Secukinumab
Authors: Sultan Akbar
Published: November 2024

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a disease that affects millions worldwide. Research indicates that people suffering from hidradenitis suppurativa respond well to monoclonal antibody treatment aimed at characteristic immune cell markers. By targeting immune cell markers, the immune system is subsequently suppressed in a way such that disease activity is decreased. Monoclonal antibody treatments targeted towards a variety of immune cell markers have historically been shown to result in decreases in hidradenitis suppurativa disease activity. Many studies have assessed disease activity with monoclonal antibody treatments, but few have compared different treatments.
A systematic review of a study that assessed the disease activity for those taking adalimumab was then compared to the findings of another study which assessed the disease activity with those taking secukinumab.
The patients treated with adalimumab had significantly decreased hidradenitis suppurativa activity when compared with other matched controls. Those who were treated with secukinumab had significantly decreased disease activity when compared with other matched controls. However, those who were treated with secukinumab had a greater reduction of disease activity as compared to control groups than did those who were treated with secukinumab.
Monoclonal antibody treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa are widespread. It is critical that these treatments are compared in order to find those with the greatest efficacy. For this review, secukinumab seemed to have a greater reduction of disease activity than did adalimumab. Further studies with greater sample sizes are needed to conclude which has greater efficacy.

Enhancing Emotion Regulation: A Review of tDCS Effects
Authors: Ülker Selami Varol , Yağcı Selin
Published: November 2024

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has demonstrated increasing promise as a method of modifying brain activity and cognitive function. The objective of this comprehensive review of the literature is to evaluate the impact of tDCS on explicit and implicit emotion regulation strategies. An extensive review of the literature, conducted using keywords "tDCS," "emotion regulation," "implicit emotion regulation," and "explicit emotion regulation" in Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, identified studies meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Twenty studies overall, encompassing both implicit-automatic and explicit-controlled emotion regulation strategies, were found after an extensive review of the literature. There has been a lot of research conducted on explicit emotion regulation, however not as much on implicit emotion regulation. The review revealed that tDCS administration has demonstrated promising effects on enhancing emotion regulation performance across various tasks and neural targets. Nevertheless, inconsistencies in the literature highlight the necessity for further research to elucidate the precise mechanisms underlying tDCS-induced changes in emotion regulation, as well as to explore individual differences in treatment response. In conclusion, this review highlights the potential of tDCS as a valuable intervention for enhancing emotion regulation processes, with implications for both clinical practice and basic research in affective neuroscience.
Dekonstruksi Hukum Social Commerce Indonesia : Perspektif Demokrasi Ekonomi di Era Digitalisasi
Authors: Supriyadi Aditya Prastian
Published: November 2024

Social commerce (S-Commerce) comes from the disruption of business digitalizationthat explores social media. When s-commerce was developing, Indonesia bannedthe platform because it was considered to kill local businesses and capitalize onthe market. The decision can potentially contradict economic democracy in oneof the provisions of Article 33, paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution, whichopens up technological space for developing the national economy. The purposeof writing this article is to deconstruct economic democracy on commercial lawon social media as a Government policy that prohibits S-Commerce. The writingarticle uses normative legal research methods with statutory, legal comparison, andconceptual approaches. There are two research results in this article. First, at a timewhen significant nations are embracing technology at a rapid pace to boost theirbusinesses, the government’s decision to outlaw s-commerce has negatively impactedthe nation. Based on the doctrine of digitalization, economic law is not appropriate ifit has to ban S-Commerce. The business paradigm of the contemporary era must beintegrated with technology to compete with the development of the digital economy inthe global realm. Second, based on economic democracy in Article 33, paragraph (4)of the 1945 Constitution, S-Commerce manifests a national economy balanced withtechnological progress by the constitution’s mandate. S-Commerce law provisionsneed to be deconstructed using the principles of economic democracy. So, reasonablelegislative parameters may promote the growth of the digital economy while notjeopardizing the local economy.
Penggunaan Kecerdasan Buatan (Artificial Intelligence) sebagai Bahan Pertimbangan Putusan Hakim dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana di Indonesia
Authors: Fatoni Syamsul , Rusdiana Erma
Published: November 2024

This study evaluates the integration of artificial intelligence in the judicial processes, focusing on how technology can promote fairness in the Indonesian Criminal Justice system, where there are no specific guidelines for using AI in legal proceedings. The research follows a normative legal approach, analyzing laws and court cases and comparative methods using various legal sources and qualitative analysis methods. The findings reveal that incorporating AI in the judge's decision-making process aids in assessing information and data, facilitating optimal, effective, and efficient decision-making.  On the other hand, incorporating AI into the decision-making process of judges within the Criminal Justice System implies that judges act as a smaller version of the system itself, considering various factors such as examination records, charges, and real-life circumstances impacted by social, cultural, and economic elements. Ultimately, integrating AI into the evidential process for judicial decision-making aims to align the criminal justice system with factual situations and the goals of punishment. It is recommended that the use of AI in legal proceedings should not only focus on algorithm-based legal aspects but also take into account non-legal aspects such as humanitarian, social, and economic conditions that contribute to criminal activities. This holistic approach is crucial for ensuring alignment in the Criminal Justice System to uphold legal, moral, and societal justice.  The role of the Supreme Court is no exception in providing guidance and supervision of Judges regarding the use of technology, including legal legalization, while still paying attention to law, ethics, social values , and just legal principles.
The Role of The Constitution in Promoting Sustainable Social Bonds in Indonesia
Authors: Indriastuty Dwi Elok , Fithri Nur Hidayatul
Published: November 2024

Social bonds are one of the types of bonds based on available themes regulated in POJK No 18 of 2023. The drafting of POJK 18/2023 did not consider regulations from either a theoretical or constitutional perspective, which should be the main consideration for any legislative regulation. This article is the result of research aimed at finding arguments and constitutional rationality related to the regulation of social bonds, sustainable bonds, and sustainability-related bonds. As a result, research on the constitutional analysis of Indonesia's social securities regulation becomes highly important, considering that the constitution serves as the source of legitimacy or the foundation of `authorization for laws and regulations beneath it. According to universal legal principles, laws and regulations that are subordinate to the constitution must not contradict higher laws This is where the concept of legal hierarchy and regulations becomes necessary, so that regulations do not conflict with those above them in the hierarchy, including the highest point, which is the constitution. The research method used in this study is normative exploratory legal research with a constitutional approach and a conceptual approach. It is clear that this article will closely examine several areas of social bond regulation from the perspective of the Indonesian Constitution .The research findings reveal juridical arguments and rationality that, as a welfare-oriented state in its constitution and born from its collectivist cultural background, social bond regulation aligns with the principles of the constitution applicable in Indonesia.
Pembangunan Hukum Nasional dalam Perspektif Teori dan Filsafat Hukum
Authors: Mandala Subianta
Published: November 2024

This paper discusses some strategic issues about national legal development, which is viewed in the light of legal theory and philosophy. The need to replace the laws of the colonial regime has been discussed for quite some time, and in fact, since Indonesia declared its independence. However, the process of replacing the Dutch laws and developing its own national law is quite slow. There are some strategies issues discussed in this writing, namely, among others: what is the legal politics/policy of the issue of legal unification and legal pluralism in Indonesia, what is the legal approach about the development of unwritten and written laws, what is the legal policy to address the issue of adat law as one of the material legal sources for the future Indonesian laws, and how jurisprudence (court decisions) may be used to develop Indonesian national legal system. With those backgrounds, the formulation of the problems is as follows: how can legal theory and philosophy be used as theoretical and philosophical argumentation to address some strategic issues of Indonesian legal development as mentioned above, and what is the legal politics/policy for the development of national legal system of Indonesia, in particular, of those strategic legal issues. The method used in this research paper is normative juridical or library research with a descriptive-qualitative analytical approach. The result of the research shows that, as of today, there are no official documents or any existing laws that comprehensively give direction to the legal politics/policy on the strategic issues of Indonesian legal development. In general, the discussion on the issues of national legal development is limited among legal experts and academicians, and the debate on contentious issues has fundamental arguments based on legal theory/philosophy. So far, legal positivism has a a significant influence on the way we respond to those strategic issues. However, there has been an interesting development recently. We can gradually see a paradigm shifting from legal positivistic to a more sociological, human and ethical approach.

Application of the Random Forest Method for UKT Classification at Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe
Authors: Khaidar Al , Arhami Muhammad , Abdi Mustainul
Published: November 2024

Classification is the systematic grouping of objects, ideas, books, or other items into specific classes based on similar characteristics. One of its applications is in the grouping of tuition fees, which are fees paid each semester or academic year based on the student's economic ability. However, there are several issues, such as the placement of underprivileged students into fee groups that are still not appropriate and the limited accuracy of the grouping process due to it being done manually. To address these issues, a classification system was designed using the Random Forest method. Random Forest is a machine learning algorithm that combines multiple decision trees for more accurate predictions. Testing the Random Forest method using cross-validation shows an average accuracy of 95%. Evaluation with a confusion matrix shows an accuracy of 94%, with varying values of precision, recall, and f1-score for each group.

Authors: Vorontsova Julia Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the study is to select the content of educational material necessary for the development of professionally oriented tasks which are designed to adjust and improve the phonetic skills of foreign students of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The article focuses on the fact that the competence-based strategy of teaching Russian as a foreign language at an advanced stage makes it a priority to focus on professional and communicative training of a foreign speaker and requires the formation of appropriate phonetic knowledge. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that phonetic material was selected for the advanced stage of teaching Russian as a foreign language, taking into account the professional orientation of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The competence-oriented tasks are designed to focus on phonetic material that is professionally significant for foreign students, allowing to optimize the process of improving auditory skills. As a result, it is stated that the practice-oriented trend of teaching Russian as a foreign language contributes to the achievement of communicative success by foreign speakers in situations of professional communication.
Demonological vocabulary in the Ossetian language
Authors: Takazov Fedar Magometovich
Published: November 2024

The article considers a list of lexical units in Ossetian language, which reflect names of demonological characters. The aim of the study is to identify semantics of demonological lexicon, both in mythological texts and in speech constructions. The scientific novelty of the presented work is that for the first time stylistic features and functions of the demonological vocabulary in everyday speech of the Ossetian language, in creation of metaphors and phraseological turns were defined. The study found that the use of demonological vocabulary in speech constructions often has deep symbolic and metaphorical meanings, greatly enriching the text and making it more emotionally rich. Often the characteristic of the demonological image is transferred to the subject of the speech act. In the course of the study, it was found that the awareness of the meaning of a metaphor, formed by means of a demonological lexicon, always occurs at the expense of knowledge and the producer and subject of speech act of corresponding demonological images.
Current trends in the pronunciation of consonants before the letter ‘e’ in words of foreign origin at the present stage of development of the Russian language
Authors: Furman Natalia Gennadievna , Volodina Daria Nikolaevna , Beretskaya Elena Alexandrovna , Potselueva Inna Anatolyevna
Published: November 2024

The process of active information exchange is accompanied by the influx of large layers of borrowed vocabulary into the language and, as a consequence, an ambiguous understanding of the orthoepic norms of pronunciation of foreign words by native Russian speakers. In the situation of periodically carried out reform of the rules of different sections of the language, the goal of the study is to establish the phonetic appearance of borrowings of foreign origin, in which a binary opposition (hardness/softness) of consonants before the vowel ‘e’, which is most acceptable for use, is observed. As a result of the analysis of scientific literature, it was established that the hardness/softness of the consonant before ‘e’ was historically influenced by linguistic and extralinguistic factors. As shown by a linguistic experiment conducted in the form of a survey of respondents of different ages living in different regions of our country and abroad, the tendency of Russification (softening) of foreign words that are frequently used and hardening of consonants mainly in bookish vocabulary has not found confirmation in modern conditions. The scientific novelty of the study is that as a result of a survey of native speakers of the Russian language in the current time frame, it was revealed that the variability of pronunciation of this type of foreign-language vocabulary has become entrenched in the language and is relevant for modern speech practice, and a feature of the phonetic system of the Russian language is the ability to flexibly respond in the context of borrowing new words: the phonetic system of the Russian language adapts to the pronunciation features of words of foreign origin, and they, in turn, adapt to the phonetic system of the Russian language.
Development of a digital model for identifying fake news: Analysis of linguistic markers and contextual features
Authors: Lyashenko Darya Igorevna
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the study is to establish criteria for distinguishing a fake from related linguistic phenomena based on the analysis of the frequency of word usage, which will serve as the basis for a digital model of primary identification of fake news. A study of a set of N-grams and content words in the KWIC format, taking into account the context, allowed us to establish that foreign policy is the predominant topic for fake news in 2014-2021. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the following: the coincidence of contexts and the absence of unique lexemes, established in the framework of the analysis, made it possible to conclude that the similarity of non-fake and fake texts is due to the masking of the latter under typical media discourse texts, which complicates the procedure for their processing. As a result of the study, the hypothesis about the fulfillment of such a differentiating and identifying role by functional words is proved. The presence of such words helps to hide the false nature of the message and block the reader’s critical thinking. Fake news texts are characterized by the anonymity of the author and the presence of a semantic component “uncertainty”, which at the verbal level is expressed in a decrease in the proportion of personal pronouns and the predominance of impersonal and indefinite personal constructions.
Cases of spirantization and despirantization in Darginian languages
Authors: Mutalov Rasul Osmanovich
Published: November 2024

The aim of the work is to identify cases of transition of occlusive sounds and affricates into spirants in the Darginian languages (East Caucasian family of languages). Previously, these languages were considered dialects of the same language, although they have many significant differences in grammatical structure and vocabulary. These features are especially pronounced in the phonetic system of the languages under consideration. Differences are observed both in the phonemic composition and in the various sound processes occurring in languages. Meanwhile, these processes have not yet been the object of comparative study, which complicates the task of creating a comparative historical phonetics of these languages. The article examines the processes of spirantization and despirantization occurring in various Darginian languages and dialects. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that a significant volume of previously unexplored phonetic material of Darginian languages and dialects has been introduced into scientific use, reflecting the process of spiranization. As a result of the study, the existing cases of the transition of occlusive sounds and affricates into spirants in the Northdargin, Tsudakhar-Sirkhin, Kaitag, Kubachin languages and their dialects were identified and analyzed. Two groups of spirantization cases have been identified: the first one is common, characteristic of most Darginian languages and dialects, and the particular which occurs in the same idiom. The article also considers the reverse process of despirantization that is the phenomenon of the transition of spirants into occlusive ones.
Lexico-semantic actualization of the word “success” in the English language: A corpus approach
Authors: Aitekova Aminet Muratovna
Published: November 2024

The research aims to identify the lexico-semantic features of the word “success” in the English language, using data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). The research employed lexicographic analysis of the word “success” within large corpora of English texts. Particular attention is paid to corpus linguistic methods, which allowed for the identification of main models of attributive collocations with the studied lexeme. The article examines the most frequent collocations with the noun “success” occurring more than 100 times in the corpus. The analyzed collocations were grouped thematically. The novelty of the research lies in identifying and systematizing the semantic features of the lexeme “success” based on corpus data analysis, which makes it possible to establish current collocation models and determine the specificity of the actualization of the lexeme “success” in contemporary American English. As a result, the research identified three main models of collocation formation with the lexeme “success”. The collocations used most often describe the magnitude of success, the methods and probability of its achievement. Attributes reflecting its interdisciplinarity and defining aspects of positive and negative experience within the context of successful activity are also used.
Cognitive socio-cultural model of the comic effect (by the example of French folk anecdote)
Authors: Lupina Anna Evgenievna
Published: November 2024

The aim of this article is the cognitive sociocultural modeling of the pointe of a joke, which is formed as a result of the violation of the traditional logic of story presentation in the narrative of a joke, built on the confrontation of universal binary oppositions. Scientific novelty consists in the fact that for the first time the scheme of the joke’s climax: “norm + non-norm” as a certain stage of incongruence formation, creation of a turning point, atypical situation through the combination of incongruous things, based on the interdisciplinary consideration of ontological situations on the example of French folk humor. The comic effect is a consequence of the incongruous combination of the development of events. The dichotomy “norm vs. non-norm” is generic and presupposes species diversity of oppositions of literary universals manifested at different levels of language. The article considers an example of analyzing the joke pointe in the semantic aspect. The study was conducted with the involvement of works of leading Russian and Western cognitologists conducting research in linguistics, literary studies, sociology and other related sciences. As a result, the choice of the hybrid method and the importance of studying the combination of inconsistencies as the basis for creating a comic effect were justified.
The raznochintsy theme in the polemics of democratic journals of 1863-1864: “Sovremennik” and “Russkoe slovo”
Authors: Pecherskaya Tatyana Ivanovna
Published: November 2024

The research aims to identify the direction of the “raznochintsy” (non-noble intelligentsia) theme, which largely determined the stylistic discourse of the conflict between the journals “Sovremennik” (The Contemporary) and “Russkoe slovo” (The Russian Word) in 1863-1864, and to substantiate the ideological function of this theme in the polemics over the journals’ programmatic issues. The research examines the features of the internal editorial vector of the theme in “Sovremennik” during the second half of the 1850s in terms of the formation of the “raznochintsy” narrative, which later received external development in the conflict between the journals. The article reveals the leading role of M. Ye. Saltykov-Shchedrin in modifying this narrative and in the methods of polemical sharpening of the theme in relation to the pressing social and literary issues of the 1860s. The main aspects of the journals’ conflict, reflected in feuilletons, pamphlets, and articles from both sides, are analyzed. The novelty of the research is determined by the chosen angle of studying the polemics: the ideological confrontation between the journals is considered through the lens of the socio-psychological “raznochintsy” narrative. The research established that at this new stage, the “raznochintsy” theme, while retaining its semantic constants, underwent significant modification due to a change in its functional direction: the socio-psychological vector is replaced by an ideological and worldview one, reflecting the programmatic divergence of the two democratic journals.
From Zoroaster to Star Wars, Jesus to Marx: The Art, Science and Technology of Human Manipulation
Authors: Sosteric Mike
Published: November 2024

Superficially, it appears that humans enjoy a wide variety of spiritual and religious traditions. In fact, the vast majority of human belief systems (secular and religious/spiritual) are rooted in and colonized by the same ancient Persian narratives (specifically the Zoroastrian Frame), narratives created by elite actors with an elite agenda in mind. This article explores the ancient roots of our modern spiritual and secular beliefs, demonstrates their ideological and colonial character, briefly examines the emotional, psychological, and spiritual toll, and outlines a course of research for those interested in moving forward with an authentic decolonizing agenda. The paper introduces several terms into the lexicon, including Symbol Factories, Ideological Institutions, and Toxic Socialization.

Is Classical Music Superior to Pop Music? On the Structure of the Evaluation of Music
Authors: Wirtz Johannes
Published: November 2024

The question whether classical music is superior to pop music is discussed in everyday life, it is socially relevant regarding funding issues, and it is debated in the philosophy of music. The aim of this paper is to lay out the general structure of the evaluation of music and to show how classical music is superior to pop music. Its four main points are: (1) Musical works/styles/genres can be evaluated comparatively if we presuppose a purpose that is pursued with listening to that music. (2) A musical work is more suitable for a purpose than another musical work because of their musical properties and because of the properties of the listener. (3) A purpose of listening to music is the mirroring of the listener’s personality. With regard to this purpose, classical music is more suitable than pop music. (4) Classical music is suitable for this purpose because it is sufficiently complex and it is ideally listened to in a focused manner. '
Keywords: aesthetics of music, evaluation of music, instrumentalism, aesthetic value, aesthetic relativism

El monstruo como paradigma de la alteridad: las sagas videolúdicas Dragon Age (2009-2014) y The Witcher (2007-2015)
Authors: García Martín Francisco David , Fernández Rodríguez María
Published: November 2024

Los monstruos, como criatura folclórica o fantástica propia de las ficciones de ayer y de hoy, han llegado a constituir una metáfora de la otredad. Depositarios de todos nuestros miedos y recelos, lo cierto es que diversos discursos históricos no necesariamente veraces, proyectados desde los intereses de las élites de algunos endogrupos, han llegado a moldearlos para seguir perpetuando ideas de discriminación, rechazo y odio, en aras del mantenimiento de un régimen social que favorece la supremacía de una raza o etnia sobre otras y condena la diferencia y el desvío. Este planteamiento es, precisamente, del que parten las sagas videolúdicas Dragon Age (2009-2014) y The Witcher (2007-2025). A través de las posibilidades significativas que les permite la ludonarrativa, así como los parámetros estructurales y discursivos del género de rol, ambos títulos logran colocar al jugador en diversas tesituras morales que le llevarán a poner en tela de juicio algunos de estos discursos.
Monopolio y diversidad de configuraciones sociales en los esports: una contribución brasileña
Authors: Macedo Tarcízio
Published: November 2024

Esport es un término que ha ganado popularidad en los últimos años para describir los deportes electrónicos, una manera específica de participar en juegos digitales competitivos que se llevan a cabo con la ayuda de dispositivos tecnológicos. Su expansión ha llevado a que se convierta en un fenómeno global con múltiples impactos a nivel local, impulsando el aumento de equipos tanto aficionados como profesionales de jugadores dedicados a esta actividad en distintos países. El objetivo de este artículo es cuestionar el monopolio de las representaciones ejercido por el esport profesional. Este control es ejercido, en gran medida, debido a la énfasis otorgada a la modalidad profesional de los videojuegos en la cobertura proporcionada por el periodismo especializado. Para apoyar este argumento, se introduce el concepto de diversidad configuracional de los esports, que engloba una serie de situaciones de juego que constituyen las actividades y experiencias deportivas centradas en los videojuegos. Esta diversidad está representada por al menos cuatro configuraciones de los esports: profesional, de bricolaje, comunitario y escolar. Para desarrollar esta noción, se recurre a la literatura de los game studies, comunicación y deportes, así como a experiencias etnográficas realizadas entre 2016 y 2023 con diversas matrices que constituyen los esports en Brasil.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the paradigm of traditional education to alternative learning modalities. One of these changes was the use of blended learning in the educational system. Blended learning is a pedagogical approach that combines face-to-face instruction with online learning as a viable solution to address the challenges introduced by the pandemic. The approach began to gain popularity in the Philippines during the post-pandemic period. The use of ICT to facilitate distance learning was emphasized during the lockdown period. As COVID-19 cases declined and classes started re-opening, adherence to health protocols, such as social distancing, was implemented. In this regard, limitations in the class population and outside exposure were addressed by the blended learning approach. Hence, this review article reiterates the pedagogical perspective of blended learning in the educational system during the global and local health crises. This paper reviews the nature of blended learning in the educational system by examining the various theories and models used, more specifically focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of blended learning in basic education. The reiteration of blended learning during the pandemic and related studies are also some focal points of this review article. In brief, blended learning refines the traditional modalities used in the educational system into something suitable for post-pandemic. It integrates the use of digital materials to create a more effective and engaging mode of delivery for learning. With these insights, the development of blended learning is inevitable in the education sector.

STEM fields play a pivotal role in driving innovation and economic growth. Ensuring equitable access for all students, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, is crucial for fostering diversity and inclusivity. This study examines the enrollment status of Scheduled Tribe (ST) students in Science, Technology, and Engineering at higher education levels in India, focusing on their participation in STEM fields. This study explores the barriers that ST students face in accessing and persisting in STEM education and provides suggestions to enhance their participation and success. This study is qualitative and documentary in nature. All-India Survey on Higher Education Reports AISHE reports (2011-12 to 2021-22), Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Govt. of India. The study revealed that in Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) programs, male ST student enrollment was higher than females from 2011-2012 to 2018-2019, but this trend reversed from 2018-2019 to 2021-2022, with female enrollment surpassing males. Similarly, in Master of Science (M.Sc.) programs, male enrollment was higher until 2013-2014, after which female enrollment exceeded males from 2014-2015 to 2021-2022. However, in the engineering and technology fields (B.E., M.E., B.Tech., M.Tech.), male students consistently maintained higher enrollment rates than female students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Published: November 2024

This study addresses a gap in Indonesia’s mineral-downstream policy research by identifying the optimal policy scenario for enhancing the added value of primary metal mineral commodities. This research examines competitive and comparative advantages and economic impacts using system dynamics modeling. Initially, qualitative interviews are conducted to identify elements affecting domestic refining facilities’ growth, followed by quantitative surveys and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to prioritize factors fostering these advantages. Findings suggest that developing existing theories to fit Indonesia’s specific context is crucial, and focus group discussions with key mining company decision makers are recommended to develop relevant indices. This method evaluates policy options to determine those offering the most significant economic advantage for each mineral type by analyzing unique characteristics and mapping them to suitable policies. Integrating competitive and comparative advantages into the mineral-added value policy context maximizes economic returns and provides practical recommendations for policymakers, addressing a critical gap in the literature.
