PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR IMPLEMENTING A DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH TO PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF CHILDREN IN MODERN PRIVATE PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Ядрова А.А. , Батколина В.В.
Published: September 2024

В статье ставится задача теоретически обосновать необходимость создания педагогических условий, обеспечивающих индивидуализацию физического воспитания детей старшего дошкольного возраста в современных частных дошкольных образовательных организациях. Применение дифференцированного подхода к физическому воспитанию детей позволит раскрыть индивидуальность личности каждого воспитанника, его склонности, интересы и определить оптимальный уровень его активности. Индивидуализация физического воспитания детей предполагает: 1) пересмотр методического обеспечения кадровой политики, основой которого является сопровождение профессионального развития и саморазвития педагогов; 2) внедрение прогрессивных технологий в образовательный процесс по физическому воспитанию; 3) оптимизацию здоровьесберегающей среды дошкольных образовательных учреждений, основой которой является обратная связь между педагогом, воспитанниками и их семьями.

The article aims to theoretically substantiate the need to develop pedagogical conditions that provide individualization of physical education of children of senior preschool age in modern private pre-school educational organizations. The application of a differentiated approach to the physical education of children will make it possible to reveal the individuality of the personality of each pupil, his inclinations, interests and determine the optimal level of his activity. The individualization of children’s physical education implies: 1) a review of the methodological support of personnel policy, the basis of which is to support the professional development and self-development of teachers; 2) introduction of advanced technologies in the educational process of physical education; 3) optimization of healthy environment of pre-school educational institutions, the basis of which is the feedback between the teacher, pupils and their families.

Published: September 2024

In control applications involving motion control, precise control of the Industrial Hydraulics Actuator (IHA) is necessary to accurately assess the position of the actuator rod. Non-recursive identification is used to model the system with an open-loop and closed-loop approach for this paper. The grey box approach is used to estimate the continuous model and parameter estimation for the system. The System Identification toolbox in MATLAB is used for the model estimation. The process starts by obtaining the input-output data from the experimental work. The input-output data validation outcome reveals a best-fit percentage for open-loop 88.91% and closed-loop 95.43%, as well as a small Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). This indicates a successful validation between the estimated model and the actual system due to a high degree of agreement. The open-loop and closed-loop identification have proven successful as there is no noteworthy disparity in the outcomes. The closed-loop system can be applied to unstable systems and any potential system.
Comparative Deep Learning Models in Applications of Steganography Detection
Authors: Karamanji Awab Qasim , Ahmed Asia S. , Fadhil Ali F.
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the use of deep learning algorithms in steganography detection. More specifically, it examines deep learning-based binary classification to distinguish between stego and non-stego images from the three steganography algorithms, The Wavelet Obtained Weights (WOW), Spatial Universal Wavelet Relative Distortion (S-UNIWARD), Highly Undetectable Steganography (HUGO). It also highlights the lack of research to develop a practical universal image steganography detection system using trained deep learning. The proposed farmwork combines multiple detection deep learning architectures to create a universal Deep Convolutional Neural Network (Deep-CNN). In this paper, we evaluate Deep-CNN-based image steganography detection techniques trained on images extracted from the three steganography algorithms. The dataset consists of 10,000 images in PGM format, which is converted to JPG format with a size of 256256 pixels. The data set is classified into clear and stego images, which are the same image samples used in each category, with the three separate data sets for stego images created using three algorithms (WOW, S-UNIWARD, and HUGO). The results show a slight decrease in detection accuracy, but the fine-tuning of the improved deep-CNN architecture performs better than other methods.

It has been found that the accumulation of heavy metals (HM) in environmental facilities of the Lipetsk industrial agglomeration varies significantly and may depend on the technological mode of the companies, the composition of aerosol fallout, soil properties, distance and direction from the emission plume, biological characteristics of plants and other factors. In the area where the Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works (NLMK) is located, the excess levels of kerosene, gasoline and hydrocarbons in the atmospheric air were detected, as well as increased dust concentrations in the area of the Lipetsk Tractor Plant. At that, the concentrations of gaseous hazardous chemicals in the air of other areas of Lipetsk and agricultural lands at different distances and directions from NLMK did not exceed the established maximum values. The maximum content of HM was recorded in the upper layers of virgin undisturbed soils in the near zone of influence of industrial companies. It was noted that on arable soils the content of HM does not exceed the standard values, with the exception of a number of cases where the content of Fe, Cr, Ni in the grass stand exceeds the permissible level. It was concluded that the research carried out made it possible to identify the main patterns and factors influencing the pollution of environmental facilities, including components of agroecosystems.

The Use of Financial Information in Cooperation of States for Crime Identification and Prevention Purposes
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Legal Department of the Humanitarian Social Institute, Kleschenko Yury G.
Published: September 2024

The use of financial information in investigations plays the key role in crime combating. Efficient application of data on financial transactions facilitates identification and prevention of activities of transnational and organized criminal networks. However, limited opportunities of law enforcement authorities and the absence of access to centralized bank account registers can hinder such investigations. Enhancement of international cooperation and information exchange between law enforcement authorities and financial intelligence units (FIUs) can substantially increase the efficiency of investigations. Such cooperation includes training and professional development of employees (it is critically important to teach them contemporary financial data analysis methods and how to use cutting-edge technologies), development of new technologies. Innovative instruments of analysis of financial information are required for timely and accurate identification of criminal acts. Creation of flexible mechanisms of access to information requires development of international data exchange systems, which will enable law enforcement authorities to receive information on bank accounts without delay.

Authors: Samuels Alexander
Published: September 2024

This study addresses the transformation of African firms through the integration of BOS within supply chain management models. BOS focuses on creating uncontested market spaces by making competition irrelevant through innovation, a strategy that can be particularly beneficial for African firms facing infrastructure, technology, and logistical challenges. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review to explore how BOS can improve the growth and competitive positioning of African firms by improving their supply chain practices.A systematic literature review, guided by the PRISMA framework, was employed to gather and analyze relevant literature published between 2018 and 2023. The review included a comprehensive search of databases, rigorous screening for eligibility, and thematic analysis to identify key themes related to the integration of BOS in supply chain management for African firms. The findings reveal that integrating BOS into supply chain management enables African firms to address operational challenges, improve competitive positioning, and promote sustainable growth. The strategic alignment of BOS principles with supply chain practices encourages innovation, operational efficiency, and the creation of new market spaces. Key themes identified include collaboration, competitive advantage, supply chain resilience, and sustainable practices. The study concludes that BOS integration into supply chain management can significantly improve the operational efficiency and competitive advantage of African firms. This approach not only addresses the unique challenges faced by these firms but also opens new avenues for market growth and sustainability. The insights gained from this review provide valuable guidance for both academics and practitioners aiming to optimize supply chain operations and achieve sustainable development in the African context.
Use of Natural Areas among Latinxs Living in South Carolina
Authors: Fernandez Mariela , Ruiz A. Stefanie , Fowler Benjamin , Tewari Kshitij
Published: September 2024

The Latinx population in the United States (US) is growing. While Latinxs have historically been present in US cities and southwestern states, there is a notable surge in migration to new destination states, including South Carolina (SC). As the Latinx population grows and extends to new geographies, there is a need to examine the evolution of Latinxs’ outdoor recreation patterns. Exploring their changing preferences regarding public spaces can inform park management planning and policy. This study examines outdoor recreation use among SC-based Latinxs, exploring three central questions: 1. What are the outdoor recreation preferences among Latinxs living in SC? 2. What constraints do Latinxs face while engaging in outdoor recreation? 3. What are Latinxs’ primary motivations in visiting natural areas? This study employs a convergent parallel mixed method design. The quantitative phase consists of a cross-sectional sampling approach via online surveys, while the qualitative phase utilizes focus groups. Analyses of survey results include descrip-tive statistics and ANOVA and Chi-square tests for select variables. Qualitative analyses are based on a priori open coding with thematic development. Quantitative and qualitative data were first examined separately and later compared. Results suggest that walking/hiking is the primary outdoor recreation activity in which Latinxs engage. Focus-group participants also mentioned a variety of land- and water-based outdoor recreation activities. The most prevalent motivations for recreation experiences included relaxation, escape, and improved health. The top five factors preventing survey respondents from visiting natural areas were tiredness after work, insufficient time off work, insufficient time and money to visit natural areas, and proximity to natural areas. Focus group participants also reported various constraints hindering their visits to natural areas, including time, cost, safety, inadequate on-site amenities, weather, and Latinx-specific constraints. The findings indicate that natural resource agencies wanting to improve Latinx outdoor recreation experiences should have bilingual front-line staff and provide communicative media, such as website information or on-site signage, in Spanish. Our findings also underscore the importance of Latinx-focused social media groups as useful tools for disseminating information.
PERSPECTIVISMO AMERÍNDIO E COLONIALIDADE: uma problematização das bases da Psicologia
Authors: Prado Guilherme Augusto Souza , Oliveira Dayse Euzébio de
Published: September 2024

Problematizando as implicações metafísicas, ontológicas e epistemológicas que a colonialidade exerce na psicologia e nos modos de vida e de conhecimento ocidentais, este artigo propõe-se a fazer uma análise crítica da antropologia filosófica da modernidade a partir da filosofia dos povos ameríndios. De um lado, a unificação totalizante opera junto a uma concepção transcendental de sujeito subjugando o que toma por objeto de uma suposta homogeneidade da natureza. Por outro, a cosmopolítica ameríndia se apresenta enquanto uma contra-antropologia no qual a humanidade é um modo pronominal, uma posição perspectivista não-exclusiva do ser humano e construída em cada contexto de relações. Com ela, se estabelecem outras bases e agendas para psicologia enquanto prática social ligada à ampliação horizonte existencial e a construção de um cuidado ecosófico como modo de vida decolonial.

Authors: Lobão Mário Sérgio Pedroza , Waquil Paulo
Published: September 2024

O artigo busca compreender a base da política pública de desenvolvimento nacional à Amazônia, no período de redemocratização brasileira. Utiliza uma abordagem qualitativa, exploratória e da pesquisa documental, a partir do I Plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento – Nova República (I PND-NR), da Constituição Federal de 1988 e outras legislações. Os resultados constataram, inicialmente, um viés, ainda, economicista, porém direcionando para ruptura do paradigma produtivista/desenvolvimentista implantado nos governos militares, com objetivos e diretrizes voltados a um modelo de desenvolvimento includente e ecologicamente correto, em especial após a Constituição Federal de 1988 e a Conferência das Nações Unidas para o Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento (Rio-92), que, por sua vez e em definitivo, forçou a adoção de políticas de desenvolvimento com paradigma conservacionista/preservacionista, inclusive, obrigando uma mudança de filosofia e postura das instituições e atores do desenvolvimento regional.
Digital Competence of Young Adults in Poland
Authors: Ćwiek Małgorzata , Maj-Serwatka Katarzyna
Published: September 2024

Digital transformation is a challenge for many areas of modern society functioning. The effects of digitalisation are particularly noticeable in the labour market and are expressed, among others, in new requirements of employers both for professionally active people and those entering the labour market. Technological advances and automation are reducing the number of low skilled jobs. Moreover, employees are required to be more flexible. As a consequence, there is a need to adapt to changing trends in the labour market, and to constantly learn and acquire new competences, including digital competences.
This paper aims to identify vulnerabilities regarding digital competences and their determinants amongst young adults in Poland. Furthermore, detailed objectives were defined: (1) assessment of the level of digital competences of young adults in Poland; (2) identification of the gaps in this area; (3) identification of factors differentiating the level of digital competences.
The catalogue of competences under study was taken from the European Digital Competence Framework, which includes 21 digital competences grouped into five areas: (information and data literacy; communication and collaboration; digital content creation; safety; problem solving). To achieve the objective, a nationwide survey was conducted. The sample consisted of 1,000 young adult respondents (aged 18–30), with at least secondary education, selected by quotas from panel participants. The research methods used statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, regression modelling (stepwise regression), as well as t-tests for independent samples, and One-Way ANOVA.
Research results indicate that digital competences of young adults vary depending on the area. The respondents are aware of their insufficient skills, especially in the area of digital content creation (skills connected with programming). A relatively considerable share of individuals have no intention of acquiring these competences as part of lifelong learning. Self assessment of competences also indicates that their level differs due to individuals’ gender, age, level of education, and profile of education.

Authors: Sapkal Sanjay B. , Rede Ganeshkumar D. , Sanap Dattatray J. , Haobijam J.W. , Seram Devina
Published: September 2024

Background: Dairy farming is a cornerstone of the rural economy in India. Maharashtra, particularly its drought-prone districts, is critical in this sector. Despite challenges posed by erratic monsoons and limited irrigation, dairy farming remains a viable strategy for economic stability in these regions. The aim of this study was to examine the financial aspects of dairy enterprises, focusing on socio-economic characteristics, economic viability and constraints faced by farmers. Methods: The study employed a multistage stratified random sampling method. Key analytical tools included average and percentage calculations, BEP analysis and a Cobb-Douglas production function. Additionally, Garrett’s ranking technique was used to ascertain constraints in dairy farming, while the MOTAD model assessed profitability and risk. Result: The findings reveal that crossbred cow milk production is more lucrative than buffalo milk production, despite its higher average total expenditure per lactation. Break-even analysis confirmed profitability for both types of milk producers. Key determinants of milk production, such as green fodder, concentrate and labour, suggest areas for efficiency enhancements. Farmer-identified constraints include high feed costs, insufficient veterinary services and water scarcity. Utilizing the MOTAD model, the study recommends integrating dairy farming with crop cultivation to maximize returns, mitigate risks and enhance overall farm resilience in challenging environmental conditions.

Fingerprint Pattern Feature Extraction for Loop Fingerprint Pattern Identification by Zhang-Suen and Stentiford Thinning Method
Authors: Fakhrina Alif
Published: September 2024

Every fingerprint that a human possesses must have a fingerprint pattern and must be unique. Each pattern has a ridge pattern that will not change as long as there is no change due to an accident or injury. This ridge pattern can be used as biometric recognition. Based on the ridge pattern owned, the fingerprint pattern is divided into 4 patterns, including the tented arch pattern, the whorl pattern, the loop pattern (ulnar loop and radial loop). The stage of fingerprint pattern recognition begins by looking for minutiae (termination and bifurcation) points on the fingerprint using the Crossing Number (CN) method. Before searching for CN, the fingerprint image must be processed using the Otsu and Zhang-Suen or Stentiford Thinning methods. Thinning is used to facilitate the extraction of minutiae in fingerprint images. The last stage in obtaining the minutiae point is classified by the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method. The results obtained from the test data were 30 images, 24 images could be classified correctly, and 4 images could not be recognized. The accuracy rate of the fingerprint pattern identification system is 80%.
Newly identified uranyl vanadate mineral formation in the Thrace Basin, NW Türkiye: Insights into identification and origin of carnotite and tyuyamunite minerals
Authors: Sezen Ebru , Karakaş Zehra
Published: September 2024

The Thrace Basin is located in the northwest of Türkiye, bounded by the Rhodope Zones to the west, the Strandja (Istranca, Strandzha) Massif to the North, and the İstanbul Zone to the east. The Stranja Massif’s basement is composed of the Tekedere Group, which includes Paleozoic gneisses and schists, as well as the Şeytandere Metagranite, consisting of altered and unaltered metagranites. Unaltered metagranites are characterized by large feldspar crystals and are typically white and pink in color, while altered metagranites are typically yellow color. The subject of this study Şeytandere metagranites which the uraninite mineral, for the first time, was identified in unaltered metagranite samples, while carnotite and tyuyamunite minerals were identified in altered meta-granite samples. The morphologies and elemental compositions of these minerals were identified by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The SEM-EDS analyses revealed that the major elements of carnotite [K2(UO2)2(V2O8)(H2O)3] and tyuyamunite [Ca(UO2)2(V2O8)(H2O)8] are of K, U and V and Ca, U and V, respectively. In the investigated samples carnotite has a plate-like morphology, whereas tyuyamunite shows a fibrous apperance. This investigation shows that carnotite and tyuyamunite are epigentically formed from uranyl vanadate minerals in the Şeytandere metagranite. These minerals indicate uranium leaching from granitic materials and re-deposition as fine specks in open pores by circulating meteoric water. The leached uranyl ions, combined with vanadate ions, form carnotite and tyuyamunite under weathering conditions.

The majority of metabolic activities occur in adiabatic environments; carbon uptake in soils serves as a signal for thermal heat fluxes, and plants can spontaneously generate heat during metabolic processes. We discuss calorimetric studies that use basic chemical approaches, such as isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), to investigate plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses, vegetative growth, seed germination rate, and micropropagation viability. Calorimetric studies of waste materials, wastewater sludge, and effluents were also considered in concert with specified thermophysical variables that define these environmental phenomena, such as enhanced thermal and heat capacity. The IMC and DSC performance characteristics were also evaluated. Biologically exothermic reactions—which involve biotransformation mechanisms during composting, wastewater reuse, and organic sludge stability as physiochemical attributes of solid and liquid wastes via changes in heat release—influence plant dynamic stress variables. It is advised that these calorimetric studies be used in plant, soil, and waste bodies for ecosystem safety and integrity. IMC not only enhances our understanding of plant responses to stress and pathogens but also aids in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 by enhancing diagnostic capabilities and disease management. Furthermore, IMC contributes to SDG 9 by fostering scientific research and innovation in microbiology, aligning with goals for industry, innovation, and infrastructure. The ongoing integration of DSC techniques with cutting-edge analytical methodologies could also permit the implementation of Smart, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound (SMART) goals for a precise and quantifiable strategy in environmental impact assessments.
Homeostasis - Resiliance and Susceptibility
Authors: Olsen Steven
Published: September 2024

There are many features of homeostasis worth investigating such as how it works (information pathways, set point processing), where its command and control processors are located in the cell, the language used and how homeostasis interacts with all effectors (all aspects of an organism's functional maintenance and development such as cell differentiation). All are necessary and valid inquiries, but this paper examines the implications of ignoring it as a factor of disease causation. Alternatively when properly understood the homeostasis profile becomes a rational explanation for any individual’s range of health; where some areas are very resistant to disease (resilient) and other areas of homeostasis are dysfunctional leading to minor, moderate or very susceptible tendencies to disease (a lack of resilience in homeostasis). An understanding of this phenomenon, its interactions with gene expression (epigenetics) is necessary in order to evaluate the solutions for acute and chronic diseases. By this method diseases can be defined more precisely as specific susceptibilities in homeostasis, leading to a method to restore specific homeostasis functions.
Dietary Regulation of Lipid Metabolism in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Implications for Fetal Macrosomia

Published: September 2024

The primary therapeutic method for correcting hyperglycemia today is diet therapy. Lipids are not only a source of nutrients but can also act as initiators of adipocyte differentiation in the fetus, which explains the development of fetal macrosomia and future metabolic disorders in children born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Changes in the profile of circulating lipids in the maternal bloodstream, depending on adherence to a rational diet among mothers with GDM and the development of fetal macrosomia, is a complex and not fully understood process. The aim of the study was to examine the characteristics of the lipid profile in the blood plasma of pregnant women with GDM in all trimesters of pregnancy based on adherence to diet therapy. The design of the clinical part of the work was carried out within the framework of a 'case-control' study.The study included 110 women, 80 of whom were in the control group, 20 in the group with GDM adhering to the diet, and 10 in the group with GDM not adhering to the diet. The laboratory part was conducted as part of a longitudinal dynamic study with venous blood samples taken at three points: 11-13, 24-26, and 30-32 weeks of pregnancy.A significant impact of diet therapy on the blood lipid composition throughout pregnancy was demonstrated, starting as early as the first trimester. ROC analysis showed high effectiveness of the developed models with an AUC of 0.98 for the "30-32 weeks" model, with sensitivity and specificity of 1 and 0.9, respectively. An association was found between diet, maternal blood lipid composition at 32 weeks of pregnancy, and newborn weight. The direction of changes in the lipid spectrum during the development of macrosomia and diet therapy is diametrically opposed. This confirms at the molecular level that diet therapy can normalize not only carbohydrate but also lipid metabolism in the mother and fetus. Based on the obtained data, it can be suggested that after validation, the developed models could be used to refine the prognosis of macrosomia development based on the lipid profile of blood plasma at different stages of pregnancy.

Published: September 2024

Background/Objectives: The global push to eliminate tuberculosis (TB) as a public health threat is in-creasingly urgent, particularly in high-burden areas like O.R. Tambo District Municipality, South Africa. Drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) poses a significant challenge to TB control efforts and is a leading cause of TB-related deaths. This study aimed to assess DR-TB transmission patterns and predict future cases using geospatial and predictive modeling techniques. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted across five decentralized DR-TB facilities in O.R. Tambo District Municipality from January 2018 to De-cember 2020. Data were obtained from Statistics South Africa, and patient GPS coordinates were used to identify clusters of DR-TB cases via DBSCAN clustering. Hot Spot Analysis (Getis-Ord Gi) was performed, and two predictive models (Linear Regression and Random Forest) were developed to estimate future DR-TB cases. Analyses were conducted using Python 3.8 and R 4.1.1, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: A total of 456 DR-TB patients were enrolled, with 56.1% males and 43.9% females. The mean age was 37.5 (±14.9) years. The incidence of DR-TB was 11.89 cases per 100,000 population, with males dispropor-tionately affected. Key risk factors included poverty, lack of education, and occupational exposure. DR-TB types included RR-TB (60%), MDR-TB (30%), Pre-XDR-TB (5%), XDR-TB (3%), and INHR-TB (2%). Spatial analysis revealed significant clustering in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. A major cluster was identified, along with a distinct outlier. Predictive models indicated differing trends, with the Random Forest model predicting stabilization at 30 cases per year by 2022, while the Linear Regression model projected a decline to zero by 2026.
Conclusions: The study highlights the need for targeted interventions in vulnerable populations to curb DR-TB transmission and improve treatment outcomes.

Occupational incidents in construction workplaces present a persistent challenge, with severe consequences for both workers and project outcomes. This study aims to examine the specific causal factors contributing to these incidents, focusing on the interaction between worker-related, environmental, and procedural factors. The objective is to identify key contributors to workplace accidents and develop a unified predictive model to mitigate future risks. To achieve this, we employed a machine learning approach on a comprehensive accidentology dataset collected from contractors across multiple construction sites. The dataset includes variables such as worker ex-perience, environmental conditions, adherence to safety protocols, and more. By analyzing direct, indirect, and root causes, the methodology uncovers hidden patterns and interdependencies that traditional analysis might overlook. The study’s findings indicate that worker experience and environmental factors are the most significant contributors to incident occurrence, with a clear interaction effect between these variables. The results not only confirm previous research but also offer enhanced predictive capabilities for future safety measures. This research demonstrates the value of machine learning in generating data-driven insights, ultimately aiding in the develop-ment of targeted interventions to improve safety standards in the construction industry.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is one of the most commonly found types of myeloproliferative neoplasms, characterized by increased proliferation of granulocytic cells without losing their differentiation ability. Imatinib, a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI), can be effectively used as therapy for CML. However, imatinib can affect bone turnover, thus having clinical implications on the bones of CML patients undergoing long-term imatinib therapy. However, parameters that can accurately describe the bone condition in CML patients receiving imatinib still need further study. A combination of imaging techniques such as Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and bone turnover activity markers such as C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1) and Osteocalcin has the potential to be used as monitoring parameters for bone density abnormalities in CML patients receiving imatinib. This article explains the rationale for using BMD, CTX-1, and Osteocalcin as monitoring parameters of bone remodeling in CML patients receiving imatinib. First, the physiological process of bone turnover will be explained. Then, we describe the role of tyrosine kinase in bone metabolism. Next, the impact of imatinib on BMD, CTX-1, and Osteocalcin will be explained. In conclusion, the assessment of bone health of CML patients on Imatinib should include both BMD tests and bone turnover marker assays such as CTX-1 and Osteocalcin.

Pro-poor budgeting is an approach in public sector budgeting aimed at allocating resources equitably and effectively to improve the welfare of impoverished communities. This research aims to compare the implementation of pro-poor budgeting programs in Indonesian regencies in 2020, based on their Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD). The regencies selected for this study were chosen based on the completeness of the documents Regional Poverty Alleviation Implementation Report (LP2KD) in 2020. The method uses a qualitative approach through descriptive analysis, utilizing data from Regional Poverty Alleviation Implementation Report (LP2KD) in 2020. The results of this research include the implementation of pro-poor budgeting by the regency governments, an analysis of the comparative percentage of pro-poor budgeting implementation per OPD among the regency governments, and an identification of several key poverty alleviation programs in each regency. This research provides an overview of the extent to which pro-poor budgeting programs are implemented in these three regions. Although there are differences in the realization of pro-poor budgeting between the cities and regencies studied, this research highlights the importance of the role of local governments in effectively allocating resources to support poverty alleviation. The information obtained from this research presents a foundation for policymakers to improve the effectiveness of poverty alleviation programs at the local level. This study presents a comparative analysis of the implementation of pro-poor budgeting with a different approach from previous research, by comparing three regencies in Indonesia in 2020.

The hotel business can grow rapidly quantitatively by capturing the market in the tourism sector which continues to grow very rapidly. A hotel company will be able to compete and win market share if the hotel is able to provide good quality products and services. This study investigates the correlation between service quality, brand trust, customer perceived value, and their collective influence on customer satisfaction, focusing study of Amaris Hotel Indonesia. Drawing upon a comprehensive review of literature and employing a quantitative research approach, data were collected from a sample of hotel customers through structured surveys. Utilizing advanced statistical techniques such as regression analysis, the study examines the influence of service quality, brand trust, customer perceived value on customer satisfaction. Target included Amaris Hotel Indonesia customers. A total of 272 valid questionnaires were collected and verified with PASW Statistics 18. The conditions were: Service quality positive and significant impact on customer satisfaction. Brand trust has a positive and significant impact on customer satisfaction. Customer perceived value positive and significant impact on customer satisfaction. This indicates that customers who perceive higher service quality, exhibit greater trust in the hotel brand, and perceive greater value are more likely to be satisfied with their hotel experience. Additionally, this study reveals distinct interactions and moderation effects among these variables, highlighting the complex dynamics underlying customer satisfaction in the hospitality industry. These insights contribute to both theoretical understanding and practical implications for hotel managers seeking to enhance customer satisfaction in a highly competitive market environment.
