Authors: Hudaya Chintya Rachma , Triadi Irwan
Published: March 2024

Pembentukan Undang-Undang (UU) No. 6 Tahun 2014 Desa merupakan upaya pemerintah Indonesia untuk menghadirkan dasar hukum yang kuat dalam proses pembangunan pedesaan di Tanah Air. Hal ini dilakukan sebagai bentuk penghargaan terhadap hak-hak masyarakat desa dalam proses pembangunan. Namun, diperlukan perlindungan hukum bagi hak-hak masyarakat desa terhadap Pemerintah Desa yang memiliki peran sebagai pengurus pembangunan pedesaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat apakah UU Desa tersebut memiliki perlindungan hukum yang memadai terhadap hak-hak masyarakat desa dalam proses pemerintahan desa, serta menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perlindungan hukum tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode normatif yuridis yang dilakukan untuk memberikan rekomendasi bagi pemerintah dalam memperbaiki dan mengembangkan kebijakan dalam mendukung perlindungan hukum terhadap hak-hak masyarakat desa di dalam pemerintahan desa. Kemudian hasil dari penelitian ini adalah: Pemerintahan desa memiliki dua bentuk perlindungan hukum terhadap hak-hak masyarakat desa, yaitu preventif dan represif. Namun Undang-Undang No 6 Tahun 2014, hanya memberi kepastian hukum terbatas pada hak-hak normatif masyarakat desa, namun memerlukan revisi atau penambahan pasal-pasal untuk memastikan perlindungan hukum yang lebih menyeluruh terhadap hak-hak tersebut dan perlu pengawasan serta evaluasi yang teratur dalam implementasinya.

Published: March 2024

Research Aims: This research aims to examine the influence of corporate governance on earnings management. The corporate governance variable is proxied by independent commissioners, audit committees, and audit quality. The data in this research is secondary data originating from the financial reports of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2022. 

Design/methodology/approach: The analytical techniques used to test the hypothesis in this research are descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The type of data used in this research is quantitative data. The sample for this research was obtained using a purposive sampling method, and a sample of 116 banking companies was obtained.

Research Findings: Test results using multiple linear regression show that the independent commissioner variable does not affect earnings management. the audit committee variable has negative impact on earnings management while audit quality variable have a significant positive effect. Test results also show that the control variable ROA has a significant negative influence on earnings management (EM). However, the leverage control variable does not influence management (EM).

Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research contributes by providing nuanced insights into the specific impact of corporate governance components on earnings management within Indonesian banking companies. The findings offer a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships between governance mechanisms and financial practices.

Research limitation and implication: Limitations include the focus on banking companies and the specific time frame. Future research may explore diverse sectors and extend the study period. The results imply the need for policymakers and practitioners to recognize the varying impacts of different corporate governance components on earnings management for effective financial oversight.
The impact of background lymphopenia on the reactivity of nonspecific immunity in response to total body cold exposure
Authors: Patrakeeva VP , Kontievskaya EV
Published: March 2024

Lymphopenia is a condition in which there are lower than normal counts of lymphocytes in the blood. Combination of lymphopenia and prolonged exposure to low temperatures leads to a reduction of adaptive resources, increasing risks of chronic inflammatory processes and secondary environmentally induced immunodeficiencies. The aim of the study was to compare characteristics of immune reactivity in response to cold exposure depending on background level of lymphocytes. Changes in hematologic and immunologic parameters in 203 participants before and immediately after short-term cold exposure were studied. Measurements included skin temperature (forehead, backside of palm), blood pressure, heart rate, leukogram, and hemogram. Levels of ferritin, lactoferrin, transferrin, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, TNFα, erythropoietin, and irisin were determined using the enzyme immunoassay method. Apoptosis and necrosis of lymphocytes were assessed by flow cytometry analysis using AnV/PI double staining assay. Regardless of the background level of lymphocytes in peripheral blood, same-type responses to short-term cold exposure were observed in cardiovascular system as well as in irisin and ferritin levels, providing an evidence of activating thermoregulation and thermal homeostasis mechanisms. Lymphopenia is associated with a decrease in activity of nonspecific defense - in response to cold exposure there were no changes in level and functional activity of circulating neutrophil granulocytes that can increase the risks of chronicization of infectious processes in this group.
The Importance of Context in a Global World
Authors: Henderson Robyn , M. Mandalawi Sazan
Published: March 2024

Global education is often framed in terms of standardised testing that makes comparisons across nations. This is particularly evident with international measures like the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which tests 15-year-olds in member countries. Images on the PISA website provide representations of education that seem to clash with some of the contexts where we have conducted research. This prompted an investigation into educators’ talk about local contextual realities, and how—or whether—they were impacted by global calls for quality education. The study focused on three different educational programs: education for adolescent girls in a refugee camp in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, school education in a western Queensland rural/remote town in Australia, and the Migrant Education Program in rural Illinois in the United States. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and field observations. Following data analysis, three case study narratives were constructed. A final step of analysis identified four shared pillars that made learning in rural and remote areas impactful and effective: context relevance, educators’ openness to learning, flexibility of teaching/learning approaches, and responsiveness to learners’ needs. The data demonstrated that the educators had a broader picture—national or global—in mind, but their main aim was to provide learning opportunities that were responsive, flexible and contextually appropriate to their location.
Blueprint for Rural Mathematics
Authors: Morphett Annette , O’Keeffe Lisa , Paige Kathryn
Published: March 2024

This paper reports on the development and use of a Blueprint for Rural Mathematics (herein referred to as the Blueprint) in a study of middle-primary mathematics teaching. The study presented a counter-narrative to the deficit discourse around rural education outcomes through an emic perspective of middle-primary mathematics on Yorke Peninsula, a rural district in southern Australia. This study defined ‘rural’ as being both a sociological and a geographical phenomenon. It takes a sociological stance acknowledging the situatedness of the rural, and the social and cultural uniqueness of the people and their communities. Geographically, the rural locations in this study were those distanced from, and outside the commuting zone of, large urban areas and major cities. This study claimed that rural schools of Yorke Peninsula are unresearched, under-theorised and underestimated in their teaching of mathematics. Hence, very little was known about the experiences of the Yorke Peninsula teachers, or the pedagogical practices they employ in their teaching of mathematics. Yorke Peninsula people have an identity of deficit imposed on them with no opportunity to negotiate it. In understanding and addressing the accuracy of this pervasive negative framing, this study involved investigating Yorke Peninsula teachers of mathematics, and concluded that the rural social space, the identity of its members, and teacher pedagogy are essential considerations in the teaching of mathematics. The Blueprint provides a framework with which to explore these key components of rural education.

Desaparición completa de la automutilación con estimulación cerebral profunda bilateral del globo pálido interno en un caso de síndrome de Lesch-Nyhan. Tres años de seguimiento
Authors: Piedimonte Fabián , Piedimonte Leandro , Micheli Federico , Andreani Juan Carlos , Graff Pablo
Published: March 2024

Introducción: El síndrome de Lesch Nyhan (SLN) es una condición mórbida hereditaria caracterizada por hiperuricemia, automutilación, retardo del desarrollo y movimientos anormales tales como espasticidad y distonía. La falta de conocimiento sobre la intimidad de esta disfunción neurológica ha obstaculizado el desarrollo de terapias conservadoras eficientes. Presentamos nuestra experiencia con un paciente afectado por esta patología tratado por estimulación cerebral profunda (ECP).Material y método: Presentamos un paciente de 29 años con SLN tratado por medio de ECP bilateral simple del globo pálido interno (GPi) utilizando el método de Taira.Resultados: Observamos una significativa y progresiva mejoría tanto en la conducta automutilante como en los síntomas distónicos. Discusión: Este caso agregado a la experiencia de Taira sugiere fehacientemente que la automutilación en el SLN estaría relacionada a una disfunción de los circuitos de los ganglios basales y que la ECP del GPi es una alentadora modalidad de tratamiento para esta condición.Conclusiones: Debido a que los resultados obtenidos por algunos grupos de trabajo por medio de estimulación bilateral simple del GPi son similares a aquellos logrados por otros profesionales utilizando estimulación bilateral doble en ambos componentes, límbico y motor del GPi, recomendamos el primer método por ser menos invasivo y de similar eficacia.

The Relationship between the Edge Density of the Forest Fragments and the Tree Species Richness in the Detached Fragments of Kakamega Forest.
Authors: Anyango Emma , Oindo Boniface O. , Namasaka Joan , Nyongesa Catherine , Onoka Grace
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The theoretical approach guiding this study was based on the Island Biogeography Theory. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of the edge density of the forest fragments on tree species richness.

Methodology: The study adopted a cross-sectional correlational research design. Proportionate random sampling was used. A sample of 30 plots each measuring 2m by 2m was established randomly in the fragments (0-200m from the edge towards the interior);Malava: Kisere: Ikuywa in that order for field sampling and measurements. Data was collected using tools such as measuring tapes,metre rule,GPS 64s Garmain and suunto inclinometer. A total of 39 species of trees were recorded from the three fragments with Funtumia africana being recorded as the most abundant species.

Findings: The findings show 83%, 85%, and 92% variation of tree species richness in. Malava (r2 = 0.83), Kisere (r2 = 0.85) and Ikuywa (r2 = 0.92) in that order can be explained by the edge density of the fragments. The edge density also explained 87%, 94% and 94% variation of tree species relative abundance in Malava (r2 = 0.87), Kisere (r2 = 0.94) and Ikuywa (r2 = 0.94) in that order.

Unique Contributor to Theory, Policy and Practice: It was concluded that tree species richness and tree species abundance in the detached portions of Kakamega forest were dominantly influenced by forest fragment total edge length and fragment edge density. For us to conserve more tree species we recommend maintenance of the total edge length of the fragments above 15km with edge density (3.413.79m\m2) in order to maintain high tree species richness and tree species relative abundance.

A Comprehensive review on COVID-19 Variant: Delta plus and Omicron Variant
Authors: Maheshwari Shubhrat , Singh Aditya
Published: March 2024

The Delta plus variant, often known as the K417N mutation and  B.1.1.529 is known as Omicron, K417N was initially discovered in  India in April 2021 and was first announced in the public health  England bulletin on June 11th 2021, and the report was released in  order to continue sharing detailed Delta surveillance information  (VOC-21APR-02, B.1.617.2). On November the 1st Omicron case  was reported by South Africa. Delta plus has also been discovered in  nine other nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom,  Portugal, Switzerland, Japan, Poland, Nepal, Russia, and China.  Delta plus may have a modest advantage in infecting and propagating  among those who have already been infected. The Indian variety of  SARS CoV-2, also known as B.1.617, is a Coronavirus variant that  had a key role in India's second wave of infection. B.1.617 has three  noteworthy sub-variants. B.1.617.2, which was detected in India in  December 2020, is the most concerning. In December 2020, a new  sub-variant known as B.1.617.1 was discovered for the first time in  India. B.1.617.1 was found in 50% of all reported sequences by late  March, but the proportion dropped in April. B.1.617.1 is known as  the "Indian double mutant," although this label is misleading because  it has about 15 mutations when compared to older variants." The term  "double mutant" refers to the presence of two mutations in the outer  spike protein of the bacterium. Omicron is the 3rd wave of mutated  variant stated by W.H.O during November.

Published: March 2024

This study sought to examine literacy practices among Kapsabet residents. This is because different literacy practices among communities in multilingual contexts remain under investigation. This is the case obtained in Kapsabet Sub-county, Nandi County, Kenya. The residents in this sub-county are largely multilingual, with a majority being speakers of English, Kiswahili and Kalenjin. The aim of the proposed study was to examine literacy practices in the everyday life of these residents. The study adopted a largely qualitative research design underpinned by Street’s theory of literacy as a social practice. A social perspective on literacy focuses on the ways in which people employ literacy in their daily lives. The study used a purposive stratified sample of 20 respondents obtained in specific areas of the sub-county. Data was collected using the following research instruments: face-to-face interviews, observations, literacy diaries, documentation and inbuilt audio recorders. The results indicate significant ways in which Kalenjin residents of Kapsabet use literacy in their everyday lives. The study is expected to benefit scholars in applied linguistics, policymakers, and the general public by allowing them to use the study's results in their operations.

Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) is important particularly for the development of a specific local government unit as it determines thedifferent risk, exposure and vulnerability of a population in both rural and urban areas, natural resources, lifeline utilities, agricultural production areas, andessential facilities that could be affected during an occurrence of natural hazards and disaster. It aims to establish a vital and necessary network ofpreparation, thoughtful recommendations, and climate adaptation measures of a municipality by analyzing the underlying factors of hazard, exposure,vulnerability, sensitivity, and adaptive capacities of a local government unit in order to reduce its losses and damage in times of calamities. The results revealed that 6 barangays fall into low and 2 barangays inmoderate social vulnerability risk. The rest of the barangay had risks considered to be very low and might be insignificant. These barangays potentially at risks are Burnay, Pangayawan, and Poblacion which are situated in the coastal zones of Gitagum and had a high population community. Furthermore,there are several barangays in Gitagum that are at risk in terms of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability of the community to climate change-associated riskssuch as flooding, rain-induced landslide, and storm surge. Based on the results, barangays that are prone to flooding are Pangayawan and Quezon. Barangays G Pelaez, Kilangit, Quezon and Cogon can experience rain-induced landslide. It is therefore imperative for all sectors in the locality to doconcerted efforts in dealing and handling known hazards and risks associated with flooding, landslide and storm surge. However, this did not mean thatother known hazards must be left unattended such as drought, sea-level rise, tectonic activities, fire and others. These need to be prepared for as wellshould threshold impacts could be felt. Strong level of awareness among the constituents as well as promulgation of resolutions and ordinances could helpease known threats of climate-driven and disaster risks of Gitagum, Misamis Oriental.

Published: March 2024

Emberi civilizációnk nélkülözhetetlen részévé váltak a különböző űralkalmazások. Földünk körül keringő műholdak ezrei teszik lehetővé, egyebek mellett, a kontinenseken átívelő műsortovábbítást, a lényegében azonnali kommunikációt, a széles sávú internetkapcsolatot, a globális helyzetmeghatározást, a megbízható navigációt, a gyors pénzügyi műveleteket, a pontosabb időjárási előrejelzéseket, a természeti katasztrófák megelőzését és kezelését, az emberi tudás folyamatos gyarapítását vagy a békét és a biztonságot fenyegető veszélyek figyelemmel kísérését. Magától értetődőnek vett szolgáltatásaik igénybevétele során ritkán tudatosul, hogy mindezen előnyöket egy zord környezetben folytatott, fokozott veszélyekkel járó tevékenység biztosítja. Felismerve az űrtevékenység során okozott károk kockázatát és a károsultak megfelelő védelmének szükségességét, a nemzetközi közösség alig másfél évtizeddel az űrkorszak kezdetét követően, közel tíz éven át tartó erőfeszítések eredményeként, kidolgozta és elfogadta az űrobjektumok által okozott károkért való felelősségről szóló egyezményt. Ez a tanulmány az előkészítő munkálatok történeti áttekintése, a szerződéses rendelkezések rövid bemutatása, és a fontosabb releváns események ismertetése réven kívánja emlékezetbe idézni a fél évszázados múltra visszatekintő kárfelelősségi egyezményt.
Honosság szerepe a világűrjogi felelősségben és kárfelelősségben
Authors: Ganczer Mónika
Published: March 2024

A honosság számos esetben előkerül a világűr nemzetközi jogi szabályozásában, melyeket a tanulmány három témakörben vizsgál: az űrobjektumok honossága, a károkozó honossága, továbbá a károsult honossága esetében. Az űrobjektumok honosságánál a tanulmány arra keresi a választ, hogy az űrobjektum honosságát adó lajstromozásnak van-e szerepe az űrobjektum által okozott károkért felelős állam azonosításában. A károkozók honosságánál a nem állami szereplők honosságának meghatározását követően azt vizsgálja a tanulmány, hogy mely állam tehető felelőssé a tevékenységükért, illetve mely állam a kárfelelős az űrobjektumok által okozott károkért nem állami szereplő érintettsége esetén. A károsult honosságánál a tanulmány azonosítja a honosság szerepét a károsultak körének meghatározásánál és a kárigényt érvényesíteni jogosult államot. Ezen kérdések elemzéséhez vizsgálat tárgyává teszi a világűrjog hatályos nemzetközi szabályozását, azok megfelelő értelmezésére és szükség esetén továbbfejlesztésére tesz javaslatokat.

The South-East Asian boundary layer has witnessed alarming pollution levels in recent years, which even affects the trace gas composition in the southern hemisphere by inter-hemispheric transport. We use SF6 observations and the Lagrangian chemistry transport model CLaMS, driven by the ERA5 reanalysis data for the period 2010–2014, to assess the impact of the Asian monsoon (AM) region [15° N, 45° N, 30° E, 120° E] as a significant source of pollutants for the stratosphere, in particular in polar regions. We examine the contribution of transport from the AM region to the Northern Hemisphere polar region (NP) [60° N, 90° N] and to the Southern Hemisphere polar region (SP) [60° S, 90° S]. Despite the smaller geographical size of the AM region when compared to the Southern Hemisphere subtropics [15° S, 45° S] and tropics [15° S, 15° N], our findings reveal that the air mass fractions from the AM to the polar regions are approximately 1.5 times larger than the corresponding contributions from the Southern Hemisphere subtropics and roughly two times smaller than those from the tropics. The transport of air masses from the AM boundary layer to the stratospheric polar vortex primarily occurs above an altitude of about 450 K and over timescales exceeding 2 years. In contrast, transport timescales to the polar regions situated below the vortex are shorter, typically less than about 2 years. Furthermore, the transport contribution from the AM region to the polar regions exhibits distinctive inter-annual variability, significantly influencing the distributions of pollutants. Our analysis of detrended SF6 from ACE-FTS over the polar regions reveals a strong correlation with the fraction of relatively young air (less than two years old) originating from the AM, Southern Hemisphere subtropics, and tropics. Importantly, our reconstructed SF6 data indicates that approximately 20 % of SF6 in both the northern and southern polar stratosphere originates from the AM boundary layer. The largest fraction of SF6 in the polar stratosphere still originates from the tropical boundary layer, contributing about 50 % of SF6.

The nonlinear impact of cycling environment on bicycle distance: A perspective combining objective and perceptual dimensions
Authors: Zhang Yantang , Hu Xiaowei
Published: March 2024

Extending cycling distances is crucial for sustainable urban transport development and plays a role in encouraging the shift from motorized vehicles to public transport. However, there is a lack of research examining the combined impacts of both objective and perceived aspects of the cycling environment on cycling distance, and the existence of threshold effects remains unclear. This study uses 2019 cycling data from Shenzhen, China, employing the XGBoost algorithm to uncover the relative importance and thresholds of objective and perceived factors in the cycling environment. The results indicate that population density (24.8%), road network density (15.2%), the proportion of recreational facilities (9.1%), perceived accessibility (8.0%), and comfort (8.6%) hold high relative importance in predicting cycling distance. Also, maintaining road network density between 3 to 6 km/km2 and increasing the population density to exceed 22,000 people/km2 proves effective in extending cycling distances. Land use demonstrates a threshold effect, with cycling distances increasing when the recreational facilities share exceeds 8%, transport facilities share remains below 25%, and commercial facilities share stays below 30%. Perceived metrics exhibit a clear threshold effect. The study identifies that perceived safety indicates a psychological bottleneck in increasing cycling distance. Perceived accessibility is positively correlated with cycling distance when accessibility is at a low level, while comfort shows a positive correlation with cycling distance when comfort is at a high level. These findings can contribute to refining land planning and prioritizing resource allocation for organizations aiming to promote non-motorized travel and design bicycle-friendly environments.
Examining Dual-Moderation of Structure Racism, Economic Fragility, High Tech Startup’s Team Diversity and Performance
Authors: Mousa Saeed
Published: March 2024

This study has been conducted to examine the dual moderation of structural racism and economic fragility between team diversity and startup team performance. Team diversity is particularly important for new ventures or startups as the need or focus of such startups is on a diverse range of consumers. The role of racism and economic fragility cannot be ignored in this regard. To conduct this research the targeted population is the high-tech startups in France. For data collection, 351 questionnaires were received and processed for data analysis. The results indicated a significant impact of team diversity on startup team performance. The moderating role of structural racism was also significant between team diversity and startup team performance. Whereas, economic fragility also significantly moderates the relationship between team diversity and startup team performance. The practical importance of this study is greatly implied in those startups which incorporate diversity in their workplace. The policymakers are also devoted to performing their part concerning the policies that are being formulated to encourage and promote diversity in the workplace as well as in educational settings. Theoretically, this research contributes to the growing body of literature regarding startup performances. However, most of the high-tech startups in France did not contain the required data for gaining clear facts and figures. This limitation can be catered to in the future by targeting more advanced high-tech startups in France.

The antiproliferative properties of metformin and silodosin have been observed in prostate cancer. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that the molecular pathways related to these drugs may impact the levels of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in prostate cancer cells. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of metformin and silodosin on the levels of hTERT in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) cells. The present study employed an experimental design with a post-test-only control group.  This study utilized the PC3 cell line as a model for mCRPC. A viability experiment was conducted using the CCK-8 method to determine the inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of metformin, silodosin, and abiraterone acetate (AA) after a 72-hour incubation period of PC3 cells. In order to investigate the levels of hTERT, PC3 cells were divided into two control groups: a negative control and a standard therapy with AA. Additionally, three experimental combination groups were added: metformin with AA; silodosin with AA; and metformin, silodosin and AA. The level of hTERT was measured using sandwich ELISA technique. The difference in hTERT levels was assessed using ANOVA followed by a post hoc test. The IC50 values for metformin, silodosin, and AA were 17.7 mM, 44.162 mM, and 66.9 μM, respectively. Our data indicated that the combination of metformin with AA and the combination of metformin, silodosin and AA decreased the hTERT levels when compared to control, AA, and silodosin with AA. The administration of metformin resulted in a reduction of hTERT levels in the PC3 cell line, but the impact of silodosin on hTERT levels was not statistically significant compared to AA group.
Study of Target Selection for Philippine Terrorism Attacks
Authors: Satriawan Iwan , Mustofa Muhammad
Published: March 2024

The Philippine terrorist group is classified as foreign terrorist fighters who carry out acts of terrorism abroad with the aim of, among other things, establishing their own state in the southern Philippines. Of course, apart from committing acts of terrorism within the Philippines. Even though there is a connection between terrorists from Indonesia and terrorists from the Philippines, Filipino terrorists are not indicated to have carried out acts of terror in Indonesia as the target country. This research identifies that terrorist target selection always pays attention to targets, including geographical factors; calculation of political, social and religious factors; rationally and the choice takes into account ideology; terrorist capabilities; probability of attack success (risk with resulting number of victims); as well as, social ties and economic incentives. This target selection can be included in rational choice theory. Based on the perspective of rational choice theory, criminals tend to evaluate before committing by considering the probability of being discovered and caught, the effectiveness and impact of punishment that may be imposed, the potential value of existing crime proceeds and their short-term needs for crime proceeds; strong interactions between ideologies; operational motivations and choices, external mitigating influences.
