Does U.S. Economic Policy Uncertainty Influence Chinese Domestic Inflation?: Evidence from China’s 31 Provinces
Authors:   IAGBT, Lu Guimin , Nam Soojoong
Published: April 2023

Purpose - This paper empirically analyzed how China’s domestic inflation responds to foreign uncertainties, especially U.S. economic policy uncertainties. This paper helps to fill the gap in the research on the impact of one country’s economic uncertainty on the others economy.
Design/Methodology/Approach - In this paper, we were first to collect disaggregated data on China’s 31 provinces from Q1 2001 to Q4 2021, adopting the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) approach, to study the impact of U.S. economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on Chinese inflation. Given that the economic structures of China’s 31 provinces are different, such as the level of economic development, industrial structure, economic scale, population scale, and so on, this paper uses China‘s regional data for the first time. We employ the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) approach proposed by Shin et al. (2014), which has recently attracted attention.
Findings - The main findings are as follows. First, the impact of U.S. EPU on inflation in China’s provinces is prominently presented by the short-run (26 provinces) versus the long-run (19 provinces). Second, an increase (decrease) in U.S. EPU causes a decrease (increase) in Chinese inflation in the long-run. Third, short-run asymmetry in U.S. EPU was demonstrated in 20 provinces, and long-run asymmetry was demonstrated in 17 provinces. Moreover, the characteristics of asymmetry develop from short-run to long-run in 15 provinces.
Research Implications - The estimation result of the NARDL model shows that the long- and short-run asymmetric effects of the U.S. EPU on domestic inflation are not exactly the same in terms of China’s 31 provinces. This paper also suggests that province-specific phenomena should not be ignored when the Chinese government formulates policies to deal with foreign uncertainty.
The Roles of Personal Innovation and Task Technology Fit in Mobile Payment Retention
Authors:   IAGBT, Kaewkitipong Laddawan , Chen Charlie , Lou Shanshan
Published: April 2023

Purpose - This research aims to investigate the continuance intention of mobile payment services in Thailand based on the perceived innovativeness (PI) and task-technology fit (TTF) theories. The high attrition rate of mobile payment services in the market and lack of studies exploring the effect of personal attributes on continuance intention motivate the research.
Design/Methodology/Approach - 544 Thai mobile payment users were surveyed. Relationships between mobile technology skills, perceived usefulness of mobile payment services, perceived ease of use, PI, TTF, and continuance intention were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM).
Findings - The results indicate that perceived usefulness is the primary antecedent for TTF. Both TTF and PI were also found to have a significantly positive effect on the increase of continuance intention to use mobile payment services. Moreover, PI was found to have a strong negative moderating effect on the relationship between perceived task-technology fit and the continuance intention of using mobile payment services.
Research Implications - The findings provide important insights for mobile payment service providers on how to effectively target users and increase the intention to continue using mobile payment services.
Issues of jurisdiction of disputes to arbitration. Comparative analysis of legislation of BRICS states
Authors: Gavrilenko Vladimir A.
Published: April 2023

We analyze the issues of legal regulation of jurisdiction of disputes types to arbitration in the BRICS states (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). Evidently, an importance of the BRICS countries in modern international economy is objectively obvious, since they are major economic and political actors on the world stage. The Russian Federation plays an important role in this association. The institution of commercial arbitration or arbitration dispute proceedings is a historically recognized and effective way to resolve conflicts and protect the rights and interests of economic entities. The experience of the BRICS countries in regulating this institution seems interesting for research. A detailed and objective comparative analysis of the BRICS states legislation regulating arbitration sphere is carried out. The types of arbitrable and non-arbitrable disputes are identified. The main problems in the legal regulation of this area are identified, the main of which is a lack of clear and specific indications of disputes types that are subject to and not subject to arbitration. We suggest ways and means of solving the above problematic issues.
Problematic issues of forensic analysis arising at the initial stage slave labor investigations
Authors: Popov Vladimir A. , Tetkin Denis V. , Pudovkin Andrey A.
Published: April 2023

We consider a number of problematic issues related to the conduct of forensic analysis during the investigation at the initial stage of the use of slave labor. We present some problematic situations that arise in the course of the investigator’s analytical activity in the category of criminal cases under consideration, including situations related to establishing the compliance of a criminal act with the requirements of the disposition of Article 127² of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The evidentiary series of factual data is given, testifying to the exercise of the powers of the owner in relation to an individual. Also, attention is focused on the fact that the forensic analysis of the category of criminal cases under consideration should take into account the totality of the evidence available in the case, taking into account, among other things, the stage of preparation for the commission of a crime.It is concluded that at the initial stage of the investigation, the investigator should, in the course of forensic analysis, evaluate the entire range of factual data at his disposal, on the basis of which the main directions for putting forward versions and planning the entire course of the investigation will be based. It is also noted that a systematic approach to conducting forensic analysis will allow, in the optimal time frame, to carry out all the necessary investigative actions and operational-search measures aimed at uncovering and investigating such a complex criminal act as the use of slave labor.
On the issue of law principles perception in different concepts of legal understanding
Authors: Ilyukhina Vera A.
Published: April 2023

The present research is devoted to the study of law principles perception in different legal understanding concepts. The purpose of work is to analyze the concept and place of law principles in the legal system within the framework of various types of legal understanding, and the tasks of work are the law principles perception in the natural law concept by R. Dworkin, the libertarian theory of law by V.S. Nersesyants, positivist and integrative legal understanding. It is substantiated that the law principles concept, the allocation of their types and the definition of their role in the legal system is largely due to the type of legal understanding, which the scientist is a supporter of. Emphasis is placed on the axiological component of the studied approaches in relation to the law principles. It is proved that the natural-legal, liberal, positivist and integrative types of legal understanding allow focusing on the aspects of legal reality associated with various kinds of ideas in the field of law. It is concluded that in terms of law enforcement, the positivist approach is of the greatest importance, since it allows the subjects of law not only to understand the main ideas embodied in the legislation, but also orients them towards the practical implementation of normatively defined law principles. Natural-legal, liberal and, to some extent, integrative approaches have theoretical and methodological value – they do not directly matter for the regulation of social relations, but form the legislator's idea of the value of certain ideas, the possibility of their consolidation in the texts of normative legal acts and hence their further practical implementation.
Moral damage and psychological trauma as grounds for tort liability
Authors: Zaytseva Natalia V.
Published: April 2023

The work is devoted to the study of subjective component of participants in tort relations in cases where the psycho-emotional state of an individual is negatively affected. The procedure and conditions for compensation for moral damage, the concept of nervous shock and the conditions for compensation for damage, if any, are analyzed. The comparative legal method and the formal logical method are used Based on the results of this study, the main conditions for compensation for moral damage and nervous shock are determined, and the subjective factor is determined, which plays a key role in bringing the tortfeasor to justice. A retrospective analysis of the formation of psychological trauma legal understanding as an independent legal category and the conditions for compensation for damage in the event of its occurrence is carried out. Such theories of compensation for damage as the “impact theory”, the theory of primary and secondary victims, the thin skull rule, which played a predominant role at various stages of the development of tort law, are considered. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the determination of the main conditions for compensation for moral damage and the influence on the conditions of compensation of individual elements of the subjective factor.

Authors:   Emperor Alexander I St. Petersburg State Transport University, Alexander Yu. Panychev , Pokrovskaya Oksana D.
Published: April 2023

Purpose: The paper explores the new role of a modern university in the formation of technological sovereignty of the country. Answers are given to the questions: “Is technological sovereignty real in principle? Is a modern university ready to defend technological sovereignty?” It is shown that the mission of a modern university is leadership in the creation of fundamentally new equipment, technologies and human capital. Methods: Open Internet data, tools of ecosystem and project approach, methods of system analysis, theory of synergetics and innovation management were used. Results: A critical analysis of the “bottlenecks” of the university’s development in a volatile economy has been carried out. The problems and priorities of the development of a modern university in the context of a challenge to technological sovereignty are noted. The prerequisites for the institutional transformation of education and the features of the products of a modern university relevant to the dictates of time are considered. The model of research and development management in the Russian Federation is characterized. Practical significance: the features of the multidimensional role of the fourth generation university in the mechanism of achieving technological sovereignty are noted. The possible scenarios for the implementation of the technological sovereignty of the country and the industry, as well as the features of launching innovations in new conditions are described. New tracks of development of a modern university are shown. It is noted that a modern university is a “country of tomorrow” in terms of material and technical, educational and laboratory facilities, innovative environment, support for young scientists, preservation of traditions and increment of values. It is proved that only the presence of all these components will provide conditions both for the qualitative evolution of the university and for achieving the technological sovereignty of the country as a whole.
Values criteria for the success of an applicant's choice
Authors:   Volgograd State Technical University, Soloviev Andrey A.
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between the choice of an applicant and his prognosis regarding the perspectives for professional activity after his education. An attempt is presented to classify axiological lines for establishing criteria of the conformity of educational results with social and individual interests. The strategies of the choice, as a methodology of orientation in the variety of directions allowed by the educational field, are studied. The social factors contributing to the value in the public consciousness of certain states, which are attributes of nominal social success, are investigated. The author aims to find the principles of activity self-determination, and proceeds from the concept that the determining factors are not objective, but subjective factors. Among them are individual interests, abilities and inclinations, awareness of the market staff selection, value orientations, professional requirements, self-respect of one’s capabilities, priorities in professional sphere and general life strategy. The events that contribute to the choice of one or another direction by the applicant, or hinder this choice, to this end are studied. In addition, the question is raised about the so-called “value responsibility” of the applicant in the event that professional activity turns out to be inconsistent with the initial tasks. In this context, the problem of the correlation of individual selection criteria and social selection criteria is indicated.
Features and problems of recording the results of the research activities of the University
Authors:   Institute of Educational Technologies of the Autonomous Non-Commercial Organization of Higher Education “VPA International Police Academy”, Osipov Mikhail Yu.
Published: April 2023

The article deals with the issues of accounting for the results of research activities of the university. The subject of research in this article are the regularities of the organization of scientific research activities, the results of which are subject to accounting. The purpose of the study is to consider the features of the regularities of the organization of scientific research activities, as well as the features of the use of automated control systems of a higher educational institution that take into account these regularities. As research methods, a systematic approach, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, generalization, and a method of modeling managerial situations were used. During the study, the following was found. There is a need to automate the accounting of the results of research activities of the university. It is due to the complexity of reporting on the research activities of the university, including the need for separate accounting of the results of research activities by industry and type of science. At the same time, there are two approaches to automating the analysis and accounting for the results of research activities of the university. The first of these approaches is based on the use of standard solutions that allow taking into account the results of the research activities of the university, while the second approach is based on the use of individual solutions in the field of automating the recording of the results of the research activities of the university. At the same time, it seems necessary to use a two-loop scheme for automating the accounting of the results of scientific research activities to improve the efficiency of scientific data exchange with external services. At the same time, a standard solution should be used as an external circuit for automating the accounting of the results of scientific research activities, while an individual solution in the field of automating the management of a higher educational institution should be used as an internal circuit for automating the accounting of the results of scientific research activities. At the same time, to ensure the effectiveness of the interaction between the internal and external circuits of automation of accounting for the results of scientific research, they must be harmonized with each other. Among the problems of accounting for the results of research activities of the university, in particular, can be attributed to the incorrect display of the list of publications on the elibrary.ru platform in terms of linking publications to authors' organizations (some publications are not linked to authors’ organizations). As a solution to the problem, it is proposed to implement the mandatory identification of the author’s organization when placing this publication on the elibrary.ru platform.

männlich, weiblich, divers, offen… : Gleichstellung durch gendersensible Sprache in der Hochschullehre
Authors:   , Bleicher Alisha
Published: April 2023

Aufgrund der sprachlich etablierten Konvention im Deutschen, eine Ansprache von Personen fast ausschließlich mit binären Formen – »Frau« und »Mann« oder »Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren« – zu gestalten, werden Personen, die ihre geschlechtsbezogene Identität nicht im Rahmen der normativen Binarität verorten, sich also weder (eindeutig) weiblich noch (eindeutig) männlich verstehen, durch diese Formen der Ansprache nicht berücksichtigt. Die Folge davon sind alltägliche Misgenderungen von trans*, inter* und nicht-binären (TIN*) Personen, die sich – insbesondere im englischen Sprachraum (Smith, Robinson & Khan, 2022, S. 18–31; Mearns, Bonner-Thompson & Hopkins, 2020, S. 488–494) – auch für den Sprachgebrauch an Hochschuleinrichtungen bestätigen lassen (Diethold, Watzlawik & Hornstein, 2022, S. 2), obgleich diese vielfach Chancengleichheit und Genderinklusivität in ihrem Selbstverständnis proklamieren (Schlenzka & Stocker, 2019, S. 14). Daher ist das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit, die übergeordnete Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, ob und inwiefern durch eine gendersensible (An)Sprache die Gleichstellung von TIN*-Studierenden im Rahmen der Hochschullehre ermöglicht wird bzw. ermöglicht werden kann. Für die Beantwortung dieser wurden in einer qualitativ-empirischen Interviewstudie zwölf TIN*-Studierende deutscher Hochschuleinrichtungen zu ihren Erfahrungen befragt und diese anhand der induktiven Kategorienbildung (Zusammenfassung) nach Mayring (2022, S. 84–89) ausgewertet. Als Ergebnis kann dabei resümiert werden, dass die Ansprache aktuell als Differenzkriterium an den Hochschuleinrichtungen wirkt und zu Alterisierungs- sowie Diskriminierungserfahrungen bei TIN*-Studierenden beiträgt, die sich u. a. auch auf den Lernprozess auswirken können. Dies verdeutlicht die Relevanz, gendersensible Ansprachen in der Hochschullehre zu etablieren, was in Begründungsansätzen und Handlungsempfehlungen für die Verwendung gendersensibler Sprache kodifiziert wurde. Darin liegt das Potential der Ergebnisse, da diese in Rekurs auf verschiedene fachwissenschaftliche Konzepte an jene Forschungsstände rückgebunden und eine Modifikation bestehender Theorien unter der Perspektive der Nutzung gendersensibler Sprache vorgenommen werden konnte (psychologisch, pädagogisch, wirtschaftspädagogisch, universitär, für TIN*-Studierende, als Resilienz-Faktor), die die Gleichstellung von TIN*-Studierenden in der Hochschullehre fördern. Als Ausblick wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen der Nutzung gendersensibler Sprache und genderbezogener Gleichstellung in Abhängigkeit der (inneren) Einstellung bzw. Werthaltung der dozierenden Person diskutiert, was in weiterführender Forschung untersucht werden sollte.
Comentario - Nuevas crisis y otros registros de la relación entre lo religioso y lo político
Authors: Panotto Nicolás
Published: April 2023

Siempre insisto en la idea de que al analizar la relación entre “religión” y “política”, no sólo hay que adentrarse a la compleja y espinosa tarea de precisar cada uno de estos campos, sino también las dimensiones que entran en juego en la comprensión que tenemos sobre las dinámicas propias de dicho vínculo. No es una cuestión tan obvia de plantear, ya que la definición de la relación no siempre se deduce automáticamente de las caracterizaciones, impactos o intenciones de los objetos en cuestión. Adentrarse al análisis de las dinámicas propias de la relación es subrayar las condiciones en que se gestan el acercamiento y dinámica entre las partes, lo que pone sobre la mesa la importancia de considerar temas como las trayectorias históricas que aparecen, la diversidad de contextos condicionantes, los dispositivos temporales que las circunscriben, incluso las tipologías ontológicas que definen dicho intercambio (¿hablamos de objetos con fronteras suturadas?, ¿del escenario de encuentro como un “lugar” o como una “temporalidad” pasajera?, ¿de un nudo con tensiones y lineamientos porosos, o un simple intercambio unidireccional?, entre otros elementos).

Juramento da princesa Isabel: uma análise do quadro de Victor Meirelles
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Fernandes Bárbara Ferreira
Published: April 2023

Este artigo possui como objeto de estudo o quadro “Juramento da Princesa Isabel” (Figura 01), obra do importante pintor do século XIX, Victor Meirelles. A obra é um óleo sobre tela datada de 1875, com 1,770 x 2,600m de dimensão, pertencente, hoje, ao Museu Imperial de Petrópolis (MIP). O quadro faz parte do circuito permanente do Museu e encontra-se na sala denominada “Princesa Isabel”. Isabel foi regente do Brasil durante três períodos: 1871-1872, 1876-1877 e 1887-1889. A obra retrata o juramento feito na ocasião de sua primeira regência, em 20 de maio de 1871, e foi encomendada pelo então presidente do Senado, Visconde de Abaeté. Na sala de Sessões do Senado, ao centro da tela, diante de uma mesa posta na frente de um trono vazio à esquerda, está a Princesa Isabel ajoelhada. O historiador Robert Daibert Jr. aponta que a tela de Meirelles “buscava engrandecer o momento e construir a trajetória da princesa rumo ao trono. Esse importante momento precisava ser imortalizado”. Pode-se afirmar que o quadro “Juramento da Princesa Isabel” insere-se no projeto gestado pelo Estado de criar símbolos e trabalhar com o imaginário nacional através da pintura histórica.
O gênero do retrato na contemporaneidade entre o pictórico e o fotográfico
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Freitas João Paulo de , Boaventura Maria Carolina Rodrigues ,   Universidade Federal de Uberlândia
Published: April 2023

O gênero pictórico do Retrato, muitas vezes foi cunhado de “não arte”, como “coisa de amadores”, como “não-original”, como mera cópia ou artefato decorativo. Para Aberto Cipiniuk na Idade Moderna o gênero do Retrato se desenvolveu juntamente com a ideologia comercial burguesa, contrapondo-se à tradição mística medieval (do retrato como sensação ou lembrança), pois segundo o autor o que se priorizou no período moderno foi mais que a mera imitação do modelo, mas também o alcance da autonomia do indivíduo com a burguesia nascente valorizando cada vez mais a personalidade individual. Retrato que talvez por isso jamais alcançasse a universalidade pretendida para outros gêneros, estando sempre condicionado a seu referente, e ao contexto histórico e semântico ao qual “o retratado” pertence e, visto frequentemente como artefato funcional, utilitário, criado com um fim específico, não puramente artístico, razão pela qual foi continuamente definido como “pequeno gênero” ou “gênero menor”, e ainda hoje muitas vezes percebido deste modo.
Dinâmicas do gênero no conto Shishei: análise da tatuagem como índice narrativo em um conto de Tanizaki Junichiro
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Maués Juliana Pinheiro
Published: April 2023

Muitos dos temas que acompanham Tanizaki Junichiro estão já presentes no conto Shisei, publicado em 1910. Um deles é o jogo entre um ser interior e um exterior, que, na forma de um embrulho, modifica a aparência e transforma profundamente o primeiro. Em Shisei, o embrulho é a tatuagem cuja inscrição na pele de uma jovem é decisiva para que ela vá de uma tímida maiko a uma poderosa e autoconfiante cortesã. Mais do que um processo normal de amadurecimento, o que ela experimenta é uma transformação no papel de gênero que ocupa naquela sociedade - transformação materializada na tatuagem, cujas características formais a aproximam do masculino, e na sua passagem de um lugar passivo a um ativo dentro da narrativa.

Maria Pardos no salão de 1917: dois nus
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Fasolato Valéria Mendes
Published: April 2023

Dalila e Estudo de nu estiveram na EGBA de 1917. Maria Pardos, artista amadora, anuncia-se como discípula de Rodopho Amoedo. A ideia de analisar estas obras, no contexto do salão de 1917, surgiu ao formatarmos uma tabela, construída com dados das participações da artista entre os anos de 1913 a 1918, objetivando visualizar a trajetória da pintora. Houve uma crescente de premiação nos três primeiros anos (1913-1915), seguido da lacuna de premiações entre os anos 1916 e 1917. Em 1916 a artista levou para o salão sete obras e não recebeu prêmio, já em 1917 leva apenas duas. Daí surge nossa questão principal: o que motivou Maria Pardos levar dois nus para o salão de 1917?
Medidas de polarização da distribuição de renda e sua evolução no Brasil de 1995 a 2021
Authors: Hoffmann Rodolfo , Jesus Josimar Gonçalves de
Published: April 2023

Ressalta-se a importância de distinguir bipolarização de multipolarização na análise da distribuição da renda e discute-se a interpretação das principais medidas para esses conceitos. Usando dados da PNAD, analisa-se a evolução da bipolarização da distribuição da renda domiciliar per capita no Brasil de 1995 a 2021, mostrando que ela é muito semelhante à evolução da desigualdade. Usando a mesma base de dados, analisa-se como variou, de 1995 a 2015, a medida de multipolarização de Esteban e Ray, mostrando a importância de escolher o valor apropriado do respectivo parâmetro (α) de sensibilidade à multipolarização. Verifica-se que com α = 1 essa medida capta a crescente relevância, no período 1995-2015, do pico de frequência de rendas iguais ao salário mínimo. Demonstra-se que o “median relative polarization”, proposto por Handcock e Morris (1999), não capta mudanças na polarização; e criticam-se trabalhos com resultados falsos sobre a evolução da polarização da distribuição da renda no Brasil.

Published: April 2023

Background: After a history of exposure to the suspected material and a thorough physical examination, the diagnosis of occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) is commonly suspected. During the initial consultation, essential information involving the above is frequently neglected. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical manifestations of OCD cases in health workers and analyze the factors that influence OCD cases in health workers at the isolation ward of Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The sample selection was done through purposive sampling. Accessible population that met the inclusion criteria and did not have exclusion criteria were included as research samples. The target population was healthcare workers in the Special Isolation Ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. The accessible population was healthcare workers who performed hand hygiene activities and used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the Special Isolation Ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. The research subjects were healthcare workers who worked in the Special Isolation Ward. Result: The research results showed a strong and significant correlation between atopic history and the occurrence of contact dermatitis due to poor skin barrier function and decreased tolerance. The study also found that there was no significant correlation between atopic history and the severity level of OCD. There was a significant difference in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) values in the lesion and non-lesion areas, both on the palmar and dorsal aspects of the hand. Moisturizer is an important component in managing hand dermatitis as it can repair and maintain the skin's protective barrier. Conclusion:

Authors: Wahyu Lestari  , Nanda Earlia Fitria  , Sitti Hajar  , Mimi Maulida
Published: April 2023

Background: Skin tumors are swellings caused by proliferation or failure of cell death mechanisms. Based on the type of growth, skin tumors are divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Purpose: To investigate the incidence of skin tumors in Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital outpatient clinic. Methods: This study is a descriptive study with  total sampling. The diagnosis of skin tumors is assessed based on medical records filled by Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Dermatovenerologist in January 2017-September 2021. Result: The results showed patients diagnosed with benign skin tumors had as many as 360 subjects and malignant tumors had as many as 4 samples. The majority of women are affected by benign and malignant skin tumors. Based on the age of benign tumors dominated by the age of 22-45 years while in malignant tumors dominated by 45-64 years.  The majority of the sample comes from Banda Aceh, based on where the most of them reside. Based on the size of lesions, benign tumors are dominated by lesions that are less than 0.5 cm in size, while malignant tumors are dominated by lesions that are larger than 0.5 cm in size. Based on the presence and absence of recursion the entire dominant sample has no recursion. Based on the physical treatment in benign tumors are dominated by electrocautery action while malignant tumors are the same number between general surgery and FNAB. Conclusion: most of the skin tumors found in Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital dermatology and venerology outpatient clinic are benign
The Pattern of Pediatric Parasitic Skin Diseases in a Secondary Hospital in East Java: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Prakoeswa Flora Ramona Sigit , Pramuningtyas Ratih , Dimawan Rully Setia Agus
Published: April 2023

Background: Epidermal parasitic skin diseases (EPSDs) are a group of neglected infectious diseases caused by parasites that infect the upper layer of the skin. A parasitic infection of the skin is caused by small insects or worms that burrow into the skin to live there or lay their eggs. EPSDs are a public health issue and can occur in children of all ages. Purpose: This study aims to describe the pattern and incidences of parasitic skin infections in children. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study utilizing medical records from the Dermatology and Venereology Clinic of Dr. Harjono Ponorogo General Public Hospital from 2016 to 2020. Result: Our study showed that, of the 1426 children brought to our clinic, parasitic infection was the second most common skin disease found in children with a prevalence of 27.1%. Parasitic infection in children was dominated by males with a proportion of 69.7%, and occurred mostly in the ≥13-year-old age group. Among all ages, scabies is the most frequent parasitic infection found, followed by cutaneous larva migrant (CLM) and pediculosis. Conclusion: The prevalence of EPSDs is increasing with age and is more common in males. This high prevalence is probably due to increased intensity of contact with other people, decreased parental care, and low socio-economic status.
Review Article: Skin Condition and Skin Care in Premature Infants
Authors: Widia Yuri , Rosdiana Brigita ika
Published: April 2023

Background: The majority of newborn skin care recommendations focus on concerns for healthy, full-term infants. Compared to mature infants, the skin of premature infants, those who are born at the gestational age of 37 weeks, is more vulnerable to injury, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and transepidermal intoxication. There are no established guidelines for premature infant skin care. Discussion and review regarding this topic are needed. Purpose: To review the literature on skin conditions and skin care in premature infants. Review: The barrier function of premature skin is significantly compromised because the stratum corneum does not fully mature until late in the third trimester. Premature infants have immature skin with impaired barrier function characterized by high TEWL, increased absorption of chemicals, and increased risk of infection. Some particular issues in premature infant skin are controlling TEWL, avoiding mechanical damage, proper sterilization to control infection, awareness of percutaneous drug toxicity, appropriate bathing and umbilical cord care, and appropriate management of skin problems. Conclusion: Premature infant skin is more vulnerable due to immature development. Skin care for premature infants requires careful attention.
The Role of Employer Branding in Work-life Balance and Employee Retention Relationship among Generation Z Workers: Mediation or Moderation?
Authors: Hendriana Evelyn , Christoper Albert , Zain Handika Oemardi Adhitama , Pricilia Natasha
Published: April 2023

Objective: This study aims to investigate two models that examine the role of employer branding in the relationship between work-life balance and employee retention in Generation Z workers. 
Design/Methods/Approach: This study applied quantitative methods by distributing questionnaires using google forms. A purposive sample of 189 Generation Z workers in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, was used to test the models. The data was processed using SmartPLS 3 Software.
Findings: The results of the PLS-SEM analysis revealed a significant relationship between work-life balance, job stress, emotional exhaustion, and employee retention. Instead of mediating the relationship between work-life balance and employee retention, this study revealed that employer branding significantly moderated the relationship between emotional exhaustion and employee retention among Generation Z workers. These findings could be used to develop a human capital strategy to retain Generation Z employees.
Originality/Value: Among many studies on the relationship between work-life balance and employee retention, only a few focus on Generation Z workers. This generation also places greater emphasis on employer branding when considering their workplace. However, employer branding is rarely integrated into work-life balance research. This study extends the application of social exchange theory to explain the relationship between work-life balance (WLB) and employee retention by integrating employer branding into the model.
Practical/Policy implication: Given the results, organizations may provide flexibility that enables employees to work from anywhere and anytime. Moreover, companies must design strategies to manage WLB, such as flexible working hours to allow employees to manage their work schedules according to their needs and reduce workplace conflicts. Companies are advised not to assign responsibilities that do not correspond to the employee’s position or job description. Organizations may provide mindfulness training through meditation during breaks or before and after work hours to help them relax from their workload and avoid emotional exhaustion. Lastly, companies must engage in internal marketing activities by creating positive work culture, designing clear career paths, providing training, offering attractive benefits, and providing opportunities for employees to grow and develop.

Published: April 2023

Blended learning is one of the learning models used after the COVID-19 pandemic at Nahdlatul Ulama Al Ghazali University. Blended learning integrates technology that combines or mixes face-to-face and computer-based (online) learning. During the stages of the learning process, the lecturer prepares teaching materials in the form of PowerPoints or videos that can be accessed through learning media including EdLink, Zoom Meeting, Google Meet, and other electronic media. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of blended learning on learning achievement. The research method used is a quantitative method because the research data is in the form of numbers and analysis using statistics. The analysis used is a linear regression analysis with a population of mechanical engineering students. The number of samples used amounted to 34 students. Data collection techniques in the form of tests and questionnaires with a Likert scale from the results of the normality and linearity tests, it shows a sig value of 0.200 and 0.177, which states that the data is normally distributed and linear. Based on the linear regression test, it was determined that the t count was 3.296 > ttable 2.037 with a regression coefficient value of 0.331. It can be concluded that there is an influence between the x variable (blended learning) and the y variable (learning achievement).
On the derivation, in the framework of the Tsallis statistics, of relativistic hydrodynamic equations for a rarefied non-ideal gas system of high-energy particles
Authors: Kolesnichenko Aleksandr Vladimirovich
Published: April 2023

In the paper the construction of non-extensive relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics of identical particles on the basis of the relativistic kinetic equation obtained in a q-non-extensive context of Tsallis statistics and taking into account inclusion of correlation effects (by rejecting the molecular chaos hypothesis ) into the collision term. It is shown that the local collision equilibrium is described by a generalized version of the Yuttner relativistic distribution. With the help of this distribution all thermodynamic parameters of state are defined in explicit form. Linear constitutive relations and transport coefficients such as shear viscosity, bulk viscosity and heat conductivity are derived from the linearized collision integral written in the Anderson-Witting form and evaluated using a relaxation time approximation. The designed non-extensive relativistic fluid dynamics is designed to simulate a wide range of phenomena in astrophysics, cosmology and high-energy physics

The gestational period is characterized by several changes in the female body, which come from mechanical and/or hormonal activities. A number of changes take place with the main objective of maintaining and facilitating the healthy development of the fetus. Low back pain is one of the main musculoskeletal complaints referred to during pregnancy, and it is estimated that more than 50% of pregnant women are affected by low back pain, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy. Physiotherapy, through kinesiotherapy and the Pilates method, enables the treatment of gestational low back pain, as well as the prevention of this disorder. Thus, the general objective of the research is to investigate the benefits of the Pilates method and kinesiotherapy in pregnant women with low back pain. Therefore, the specific objectives are to know the biomechanical changes of the gestational period, to understand the most common pathological changes that occur in the pregnancy period, to understand the so-called gestational low back pain, to know about the importance of physiotherapy in the care of pregnant women and to learn about the Pilates method and kinesiotherapy applied in this phase of female life. It is, therefore, an integrative review of the literature of a qualitative nature, and, for its preparation, the following descriptors were used: "Pregnant women", "Lumbar pain", "Pilates method", "Exercise therapy" in Portuguese , English and Spanish. The work was produced in the year 2022, between the months of March and May. The years 2012 to 2022 were established as a delimitation, with emphasis and preference being given to research from the last 5 years. The databases consulted were: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), PEDRo and the Virtual Health Library (BVS). The main finding of this research was the evidence that the Pilates method is extremely superior to the non-treatment used by the control groups of randomized clinical trials for the treatment of gestational musculoskeletal pain. The Pilates method was also beneficial for controlling the progression of diastasis, increasing mobility, functionality and functional capacity, increasing strength and resistance of the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. It was also evidenced that the regular practice of physical exercises is recommended for pregnant women, being the moderate intensity, the duration of 150 minutes per week distributed in the frequency of 3 days a week, in sessions that vary between 30 and 60 minutes. Furthermore, it is concluded that kinesiotherapy and the Pilates method have been applied for the treatment and prevention of gestational low back pain. Both are necessary for the improvement of physical conditioning, sleep improvement, pain relief and musculoskeletal discomfort caused by the gestational process.
