Published: July 2023

Poverty is a complex and multidimensional problem. Therefore, all poverty alleviation efforts must be carried out in a comprehensive manner and various aspects of people's lives. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of Infrastructure on economy and poverty, and to analyze government policies to find infrastructure government initiatives for poverty alleviation in Indonesia towards Sustainable Development. A mixed research method was adopted, by combining quantitative and qualitative research, with a sequential explanatory design, used a hypothesis testing method which explains the effect of the independent variable (Infrastructure), on the dependent variable (Poverty Alleviation), with Economic performance as a mediating variable, and Government Policy as a moderating variable, then a qualitative approach by content analysis on mapping Central Government Policies related to Poverty Alleviation in Indonesia. We found that infrastructure has a significant effect on the economy, economy mediates the effect of Infrastructure on poverty alleviation, and Government Policy does not moderate the effect of Infrastructure on poverty alleviation. Based on these findings, it is recommended that in efforts to poverty alleviation, the government should focus on making regulations that are more effective and efficient, good management and intensive collaboration across ministries/agencies, increasing the competence of human resources and the local community, as well as being in sync with improving the community's economy. The impact of (physical) infrastructure development on poverty alleviation will be more significantly if it is combined by social and economic development

Authors: Ruba Marianus , Darmawan Ede Surya
Published: July 2023

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on health workers, who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 fight. The issue of health worker incentives persists to this day. The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted health workers as the front line in the fight against COVID-19. The problem of incentives for health workers continues to this day. Many factors must be considered by regulators and executors at the national and regional levels, as coordination of providing incentives for health workers is deemed ineffective. These include a failure to absorb the budget allocated for health worker incentives, particularly at the regional level, a large number of health workers complaining that incentives have not been distributed, and a reduction in incentives for those at the forefront of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, changing regulatory issues in accelerating the provision of COVID-19 health worker incentives are one of the factors that cause delays in paying health worker incentives. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic is over, it is critical to pay attention to the evaluation of policies for providing health workers incentives for COVID-19 that are not only focused on the time of the COVID-19 pandemic but also on the agenda for providing health workers incentives in general. Google Scholar was used to conduct a systematic review. Articles are then found in the search results that meet the criteria. A systematic search turned up eight articles that best matched the study objectives. The study design, perspective, and results of the evaluation of the COVID-19 health worker incentive policy vary greatly. The COVID-19 incentive program for health workers may be a solution to improving health workers' performance in health services. Delays, regulatory issues, and the availability of funds are all issues that must be addressed at a later date. So that the program's success can reflect the government's success in dealing with COVID-19.

Analysis of ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) Cooperation from a Competitive Intelligence Perspective
Authors: Asyono Abimanyu Hendi , Samputra Palupi Lindiasari
Published: July 2023

More than a decade has passed when the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) first began, but until now many parties see ACFTA has not significantly impacted Indonesia's interests. This paper seeks to examine more deeply the position of the Indonesian economy in the midst of ACFTA's journey. Using a qualitative approach, this paper uses a descriptive method that explores ACFTA problems against Indonesian interests. The theoretical concept used in conducting analysis is from the point of view of competitive intelligence. The results show that ACFTA as a whole poses more threats and challenges than direct positive impacts. Despite the main positive impact that can be obtained by implementing the free trade agreement (FTA), ACFTA over the past decade has not been able to create positive conditions in the Indonesia-China trade balance. Threats and challenges are even obtained by Indonesia, especially industry players and domestic commodity traders who must prepare for the arrival of a "flood" of products from China. However, in terms of geopolitics and geostrategy, ACFTA's sustainability will greatly affect the overall cooperative relationship between Indonesia and China.

Published: July 2023

Publications associated with the incidence of respiratory diseases in light of the COVID-19 pandemic have skyrocketed. Using bibliometric analysis, this study assessed the characteristics of published articles regarding non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) on other respiratory infections during the COVID-19 pandemic. On July 06, 2023, a systematic review of literature on the incidence of respiratory diseases was conducted using the Scopus database. VOS viewer software was used to visualize the network. This study yielded a total of 910 articles, which were eventually narrowed down to 148 articles. The findings of the bibliometric analysis revealed a trend in research that included not only the investigation of the incidence of other respiratory diseases but also that of gastrointestinal infections during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the research output was created by American and Chinese authors. Kim J. H. was the most productive and cited researcher, with three research articles. There is a scarcity of data on the effectiveness of NPI in preventing the spread of other respiratory diseases among various age groups, including children, adults, and vulnerable populations. Countries should consider increasing their support for COVID-19 research, to generate knowledge pertaining to NPIs and, by extension, other infectious diseases with similar transmission mechanisms.

Authors: Serratos-Tejeda Carlos , Huerta-de La Peña Arturo , Villanueva-Jiménez Juan Antonio , Aragón-García Agustín
Published: July 2023

In sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) cultivation, the main pest is the sugarcane aphid (Melanaphis sacchari Zehntner (Hemiptera: Aphididae)). The insecticide imidacloprid is frequently used to control this insect, and in some cases, it is complemented with the release of lacewings of the species Chrysoperla carnea Stephens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). The insecticide has been shown to be harmful to non-target insects, such as the natural enemies of this aphid, so it is necessary to find other less harmful products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of aqueous and oily extracts of chicalote (Argemone mexicana L.) on C. carnea and to contrast it with that of imidacloprid, with the hypothesis that extracts of A. mexicana applied to the developmental stages of C. carnea generate less mortality on the predator than imidacloprid. The aqueous and oily extracts had a concentration of 30 g L-1. For imidacloprid, the recommended dose for sugarcane aphid control (0.35 g L-1) was used. Mortality and the treatments effect were evaluated by exposure methods: T1) topical on larvae, T2) egg immersion, T3) treated Sitotroga cerealella eggs, and T4) liquid ingestion in adults. Mortality, hatching and emergence variables were analyzed with a one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s comparison of means (p ≤ 0.05). Treatments were classified according to the toxicity levels proposed by the International Organization for Biological Control. The aqueous and oily extracts were in toxicity class 1 for C. carnea, except in eggs treated with the oily extract (class 4). Imidacloprid was classified in class 4 when applied topically and by ingestion in adults and in class 2 in ingestion of treated S. cerealella eggs. In general, extracts of A. mexicana could be used as selective insecticides, while imidacloprid can be considered incompatible with releases of this predator.

The current study examines the importance of remuneration in universities in Indonesia. Remuneration has a role to increase the job satisfaction of educators which will have an impact on good work engagement. The results of previous studies have shown that there is a positive relationship between remuneration and employee performance in an organization. In its development, remuneration also applies to educational institutions such as universities, especially for education staff at vocational universities, namely lecturers. However, this type of study has been limited in Indonesia. The limited research that examines the motivation of educators for lecturers is the main reason why we carry out this research.

Astronium urundeuva (aroeira do sertão) é uma das espécies nativas com potenciais silviculturais para exploração madeireira. No cultivo in vitro da espécie tem-se observado dificuldades como a oxidação fenólica, principalmente a partir de explantes coletados de árvores matrizes adultas. Dessa forma, a utilização de explantes originários de sementes é uma alternativa para a propagação da espécie, afim de minimizar a oxidação. Neste contexto, o objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a ação de ácido ascórbico, carvão ativado e polivinilpirrolidina no controle da oxidação fenólica no cultivo in vitro de A.urundeuva. Brotações apicais obtidas a partir de plântulas de A.urundeuva germinadas in vitro foram utilizadas como explantes. Estes foram subcultivados em meio de cultura MS50%, acrescido dos antioxidantes ácido ascórbico (0,2; 0,4; 0,6 e 0,8 mg.L-1) carvão ativado (3,0; 6,0; 9,0 e 12 g.L-1) e polivinilpirrolidona (0,5; 1,0; 1,5 e 2,0 g.L-1). Transcorridos 31 dias de cultivo in vitro, o ácido ascórbico, carvão ativado e PVP nas concentrações de 0,2 mg.L-1,12 g.L-1 e 1,5 g.L-1 respectivamente, foram efetivos no controle de oxidação fenólica. O carvão ativado nesta concentração controlou totalmente a oxidação fenólica das plântulas. Os resultados deste trabalho demonstram a viabilidade dos antioxidantes na minimização dos efeitos da oxidação fenólica, especialmente com o uso do carvão ativado e abre perspectivas para maiores estudos de micropropagação de A.urundeuva, tanto de materiais genéticos juvenis quanto adultos, contribuindo para a sua conservação e auxiliando em trabalhos de melhoramento genético da espécie.

Published: July 2023

Aim: to study the clinical and radiological parameters of patients with plantar fasciitis.Materials and methods: the study involved 91 patients with plantar fasciitis, 73 (80.2%) women, 18 (19.8%) men. The mean age of the patients was 53.42 ± 9.16 years, disease duration was 30.32 ± 8.06 days, BMI was 24.75 ± 4.55 kg/m2. Patients underwent history taking, pain level and quality of life were assessed using the visual analogue scale, the SF-36 questionnaire and the AOFAS scale. The functional state of the feet was assessed using plantoscopy, Y-balance test, Friedland index. X-ray parameters were assessed using magnetic resonance imaging.Results: the disease is common among women aged 51 to 60 years. In 100% of cases, there is no traumatic etiological factor, 42.9% of the subjects note an increase in body weight as the cause, 35.2% – the relationship of the onset of pain with wearing flat shoes; men are more likely to associate the onset of symptoms with an increase in physical activity (83.3%). Subjective sensation of pain on the VAS does not depend on gender (p = 0.280), age (p = 0.509), disease duration (p = 0.371), BMI (p = 0.974). X-ray parameters of patients are characterized in 49.5% by the absence of heel exostosis, in other cases, the development of a heel spur is more typical for women (p = 0.019), its length does not depend on the duration of the disease (p = 0.845), age (p = 0.054), BMI (p = 0.196), lifestyle (p = 0.324) and does not correlate with the severity of pain (p = 0.691). The level of pain is directly proportional to the thickness of the plantar fascia (p < 0.001, ρ = 0.459). Calcaneal edema is observed in 14.3 % of patients, soft tissue edema — in 18.7 %; there was no relationship between calcaneal edema (p = 0.604) and soft tissue edema (p = 0.541) with the severity of pain, and calcaneal edema directly correlates with BMI (p = 0.029).Conclusion: These studies suggest that among the predictors of the development of plantar fasciitis, the most significant are female gender, overweight, wearing flat shoes, and the disease itself is not always a consequence of the development of a heel spur.

Published: July 2023

It is well known that degenerative-dystrophic and metabolic changes in the musculoskeletal system progress with age and lead to the development of pathologies, including osteoporosis, sarcopenia etc. With the development of new methods for studying bone and muscle systems, it is important to predict the biological age of the musculoskeletal system to assess the rate of ageing and the possibilities for preventing these diseases and their consequences. The study aimed to develop a mathematical model for the assessment of the biological age of the musculoskeletal system, taking into account indicators of bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS), parameters of body composition, and some functional tests.
77 women and 44 men aged 30 to 90 years without significant somatic pathology were examined. Measurements of BMD and TBS, as well as indicators of body composition, were performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Statistical processing was performed using the Statistica 7.0 software (StatSoft Inc., USA).
The results indicated a significant correlation between age and the BMD and TBS parameters, and body composition indicators. A model for determining the musculoskeletal system’s biological age was built using multiple regression analysis with stepwise inclusion of informative indicators. The model's coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.77, indicating its high significance. The mean absolute error of age calculation after correction for the regression equation error was 5.21 years. The developed model for assessing the musculoskeletal system’s biological age had high accuracy and can be used to assess the risk of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and complications.

From geroprotective tactics to anti-ageing strategy:
ways to eliminate ageing per se
Authors: Baramiya Mamuka , Mykhalskiy Sergiy
Published: July 2023

There are two solutions to the ageing problem – tactical and strategic. The tactical solution is to dampen the involution as much as possible to delay the onset and slow down the progression of involution and age-related pathologies. The strategic solution is to eliminate ageing per se (and therefore age-related diseases) through the elimination of the prime cause of ageing. These two approaches are discussed.

Kanser, dünyada kardiyovasküler hastalıklardan sonra en yaygın ölüm nedenidir ve kanser tedavisinde ilaç maliyetleri gelişmiş ülkelerde bile önemli bir ekonomik yük getirmektedir. Çalışmamızda 2021 yılında sadece Eskişehir Şehir Hastanesinde kiloya göre dozlanan ve damardan hedefe yönelik tedavi ajanları alan hastaların yıllık ek maliyetini hesapladık.
Yöntemler: 2021 takvim yılı içinde, dozu vücut ağırlığına göre hesaplanan ve intravenöz tedavi kullanılan hedefe yönelik ilaçlar çalışmamıza dahil edildi. Çalışmada VKİ hesaplandı. VKİ 25 ve üzeri hastaların fazla kiloları, üst sınır 25 kabul edilerek kayıt edildi. Çalışmadaki 185 hastanın 129'u (%69,7) kadın, 56'sı (%30,3) erkektir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 129 (%69,7) kadın ve 56 (%30,3) erkek olmak üzere toplam 185 hasta dahil edildi. Katılımcıların ortalama ağırlığı 71 kg (40-122 kg) idi. 2021 yılında hastanemiz çalışmamızda kullandığımız altı ilaç için toplam 4.450.673 TL, kilo fazlalığı nedeniyle toplam 598.714 TL ödeme yapmıştır.
Sonuç: Obezite, kanser gibi bütün yaş gruplarını etkileyen ve günümüzün önde gelen başlıca sağlık sorunlarından biridir. Obezitenin sağlık sistemine getirdiği ilave maliyet bilinmektedir. Obezitenin kanser tedavisinde oluşturduğu maliyeti inceleyen bu çalışmada ilaç tüketiminde kilo sebebi ile artış olduğu bulunmuştur. Obezitenin önlenmesi ve tedavisi için daha fazla çabaya ihtiyaç olduğu açıktır.
APENDEKTOMİ SONRASI NADİR BİR KOMPLİKASYON, PORTAL VEN TROMBÜSÜ
Authors: SALIŞ MUSTAFA , AKCAN ESRA
Published: July 2023

Portal ven trombozu, portal veni oluşturan bölümlerin trombüsle tam veya parsiyel obstrüksiyonudur. Hastalarda çoğu zaman karın ağrısı gibi non spesifik semptomlar bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle tanı genellikle rastlantısal konur. Erken tedavi edilmez ise mortalite oranı %50’lere kadar çıkmaktadır.
Bu nedenle özellikle cerrahların ve acil servis hekimlerinin aklında bulunması gereken önemli bir ayırıcı tanıdır. Bu vaka sunumumuzda; appendektomi sonrası karın ağrısı şikâyeti ile acil servise başvuran ve abdominal görüntüleme yöntemlerinde portal vende trombüs saptanan 40 yaşındaki bir erkek hastayı sunmayı amaçladık. Hastaya laparoskopik appendektomi operasyonu uygulanıp, taburcu edildikten sonra tekrar acil servise başvurması üzerine portal ven trombüsü tespit edilmiş ve piyeloflebit tanısıyla genel cerrahi servisine yatırıldı. Portal ven trombüsü akla gelmediğinde ve tedavisi erken dönemde başlanmadığında mortal seyredebilen nadir klinik bir durumdur. Gastrointestinal sistem operasyonlarından sonra bir komplikasyon olarak akla gelmeli ve erken dönemde antibiyoterapi ve antikoagülan tedavisine başlanılmalıdır.
Giving Students the Tools: Looking at Teaching and Learning using Corpora
Authors: Carter Aidan , Absalom Matt
Published: July 2023

This article discusses a pilot project aimed at giving tertiary students a wider repertoire of resources to use in language learning, with a particular focus on Italian. This project responds to the exponential increase in and access to online data and the potential value such data represent for students studying additional languages at tertiary level. By examining whether current language students are aware of online resources, such as linguistic corpora and other potential applications of big data, we aim to provide an insight into the possible uses of corpus-assisted learning in the language classroom. In this paper, we detail a project undertaken in 2017 with undergraduate students of Italian in a major metropolitan university. Our project directed students to complete a translation task using corpora-based resources and assessed their experience through a post-assessment survey. Subsequently, we present our initial findings in relation to the possibilities of a corpus-based approach to language teaching and learning. While today’s students are already predisposed to relying on online resources as part of their language studies, our results suggest students are not aware of emerging online resources such as corpora. Moreover, even when these resources are presented to students, the complex nature of the software programs used to interrogate corpora often results in their underutilisation.
An Analysis of Student Perceptions of Online Language Learning in Virtual Classrooms
Authors: El Morabit Salma , Manegre Marni Lynne
Published: July 2023

This study analyses the perceptions of students when learning in an online language learning (OLL) environment using virtual classrooms. The main goals were to find out if students enjoy learning in this manner, if they perceive learning benefits and if they would recommend this method to others. A total of 15 OLL students participated in this study and responded to an online questionnaire that mirrored a similar previous study which analysed the perception of online teachers using virtual classrooms (Manegre & Sabiri, 2020). The majority of the students surveyed (60.00%) indicated that they only enjoy learning online sometimes since they are taking OLL classes for professional and academic purposes and not for leisure purposes or general enjoyment. However, the participants of this study found OLL using virtual classrooms to be an effective instruction method and they do believe that this method of instruction is a suitable replacement for in-classroom learning.

Published: July 2023

En este trabajo se implementó una metodología semiautomática para la delimitación de áreasquemadas en la provincia de Chimborazo en Ecuador, durante el periodo 2018-2021 utilizando la base de datosde incendios forestales suministrada por el Programa Amazonia sin fuego del Ministerio del Ambiente Agua y Transición Ecológica (MAATE). Se utilizó las colecciones de imágenes de Landsat 7 y Landsat 8 corregidas atmosféricamente y disponibles en la plataforma Google Earth Engine (GEE). Para delimitar las áreas quemadas se calculó medias compuestas de índices normalizados de áreas quemadas (NBR) en GEE y se evaluaron los umbrales de la diferencia de índices normalizados de quema (dNBR) más adecuados por encima de los cuales se delimita la quema para el herbazal de páramo. La investigación muestra: (a) el valor del umbral de dNBR, sobre imágenes de medias compuestas de Landsat 7 y Landsat 8 que mejor se ajusta para identificar áreas quemadas en la zona de estudio es de 0,15; (b) se encontraron nueve eventos con áreas iguales o mayores a 100 ha, pero sólo pudieron ser ubicados siete; (c) la mayoría de las áreas quemadas registradas en la base de datos del MAATE fueron sobrestimadas desde un 45% hasta un 91,5% en comparación con las áreas quemadas digitalizadas sobre las imágenes satelitales. Estos hallazgos proporcionan información que contribuye al fortalecimiento de estadísticas nacionales de incendios, útil para la construcción de políticas públicas de monitoreo y gestión deincendios forestales en el Ecuador.
Reconstrucción histórico-material y virtual para la conservación del retablo renacentista de San Juan Bautista (Antequera, España)
Authors: Prado-Campos Beatriz , Sánchez-Fernández Antonio-J.
Published: July 2023

El retablo de San Juan Bautista (Antequera, España) es una obra maestra renacentista de gran calidad artística y tecnológica. En Antequera predominan los retablos de estilo barroco y pseudoclasicista, conservándose pocos casos, lo que hace que sea tan singular. Procede de la iglesia de San Zoilo, está compuesto por caja arquitectónica, dieciocho pinturas sobre tabla y una escultura exenta. El deficiente estado de conservación, tanto del muro al que se adosaba como de la predela, propició su desmontaje y almacenamiento a la espera de una restauración y remontaje posterior en su ubicación original. Al inicio de la investigación, el retablo desmembrado se hallaba fragmentado, disperso y descontextualizado de su entorno, teniendo algunos fragmentos destinos divergentes en lo que refiere a su historia material. El objetivo de este artículo es exponer la metodología y resultados obtenidos tras la reconstrucción histórico-material y virtual del retablo que contribuyen a su recuperación y puesta en valor. Mediante las técnicas documentales (bibliográficas y gráficas) y virtuales (fotogrametría, ortofotografía y 3D) se trata de dar respuesta a las siguientes cuestiones: ¿Por qué se desmonta el retablo? ¿Cuándo se produce? ¿Cuándo se pierden o expolian las piezas originales que faltan? ¿Se conservan todas las piezas? ¿En cuántos fragmentos se dividió durante el proceso de desmontaje físico? ¿El estado de conservación de los fragmentos existentes es homogéneo? Las conclusiones obtenidas indican que el desmontaje físico tuvo lugar entre 1973 y 1983, debido al continuo deterioro del edificio y del propio retablo, haciéndose más evidente en el soporte lígneo y estopa de las tablas de la predela. Se dividió en cuarenta fragmentos que aún se conservan. El expolio de piezas originales se confirma como anterior a 1899. Finalmente, hay que destacar que la imagen actual del retablo muestra una disonancia visual que dificultará su futura intervención de conservación-restauración.
