The Shift of Politeness Systems in Javanese Society: A Case Study on Quality Education and Cultural Sustainability in Arek Cultural Communities in Urban Area, Indonesia
Authors: Edy Jauhari  , Nugroho Miftah , Anggraini Bea , Handayani Dwi , Sartini Ni Wayan
Published: February 2025

Objective: This article aims to examine the shift in the politeness system of Javanese community in the Javanese Arek cultural area (Indonesia), particularly among the younger generation in urban areas, as well as the factors contributing to this shift.
 
Theoretical Framework: This article applies the theory proposed by Scollon and Scollon (2001). This theory argues that, based on differences in power (+P or −P) and the social distance between participants (+D or −D), three politeness systems can be identified: the deference politeness system, the solidarity politeness system, and the hierarchical politeness system.
 
Method: This study employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews. The research involves two different generations: the younger generation (G-2), aged 13–20 years, and their parents' generation (G-1), aged 45 years and above.
 
Results and Discussion: The research findings indicate that the politeness system of Javanese society in the Arek cultural area is undergoing a shift from a hierarchical politeness system to a symmetrical politeness system. This shift is particularly evident among the younger generation (G-2) in urban areas. The shift occurs because G-2 implements independent strategies differently from G-1.
 
Research Implications: These findings have implications for quality education and cultural sustainability, particularly in integrating and maintaining cultural values, such as the use of Javanese krama, into educational practices to ensure their preservation and continuity across generations.
 
Originality/Value: This study provides findings that can serve as a reference for future research on politeness. It also offers insights for the Indonesian government regarding whether this shift should be allowed to occur naturally or whether measures are needed to manage it, as it involves the use of Javanese krama, which tends to be increasingly abandoned by G-2.

Authors: Tutkun Ayberk , Ates Savaş S. , Yilmaz Harun
Published: February 2025

Objective: The purpose of this research is to compare the accident causality models used in the literature on the worldwide air transport industry with the models utilized in Turkish aviation safety theses. By guaranteeing aviation safety using models that have been continuously improved from the past to the present, it seeks to assure a sustainable aviation industry. The study intends to support future research as well as the body of knowledge in this area.
 
Theoretical Framework: The concept of safety has undergone continuous evolution in parallel with technological advancements. Various accident causation models, such as the SHELL Model, HFACS Model, Swiss Cheese Model, and 5M Model, have been developed in different sectors to understand the root causes of accidents and implement preventive measures. These models form the foundation for understanding the causes of aviation accidents and the preventive safety measures associated with them.
 
Methodology: The study adopts a systematic literature review combined with bibliometric analysis. Theses related to aviation safety from the National Thesis Database have been systematically examined. The frequency and contexts in which accident causation models are utilized in these theses have been analyzed.
 
Findings and Discussion: The analysis revealed that the most frequently cited models in theses related to aviation safety in Turkiye are the SHELL Model, HFACS Model, Swiss Cheese Model, and 5M Model. Additionally, it was found that a significant number of these theses were written at Anadolu University and Istanbul Gelisim University. The studies in which accident causation models were most prominently featured were conducted in 2019. These findings were discussed in the context of the theoretical framework, and their implications for safety research and sectoral practices were evaluated.
 
Research Implications: This study highlights the importance of a systematic comparison between local and international practices. The findings provide insights into academic trends in Turkiye and point to areas where improvements can be made in future studies.
 
Originality/Value: The systematic analysis of accident causation models used in aviation safety theses in Turkiye adds unique value to the study. By emphasizing widely used models, academic trends, and the importance of alignment with international standards, the study contributes to the literature.

Published: February 2025

Introduction. Increasing the sensitivity of immunochromatographic assay as an express method for detection and diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins is a relevant task with regard to ensuring food safety and population health in general.

Objective. Development of a prototype of a video digital recorder of luminescent immunochromatograms (RLI-Eu3+) and luminescent immunochromatographic tests (LICHT) adapted to a device based on microspheres with europium compounds. Comparison of the sensitivity of LICHT and AuNPs-based immunochromatography assay (ICA) tests to increase the sensitivity of the method for detection of pathogenic microorganisms and their toxins.

Material and methods. Submicron polymer microspheres labeled with organic complexes of trivalent europium (Eu3+) were used as a luminescent label for immunochromatography. LICHT were recorded using the developed RLI-Eu3+ recorder.

Results. The detection threshold of the Eu3+ luminescent complex on the immunochromatographic membrane was shown to be 2 pg/mm2, with the linearity of the readings ranging within 2–200 pg/mm2. The coefficients of variation of the instrument readings in the luminescent complex concentration range of 20–200 pg/mm2 and 2–20 pg/mm2 were found to be less than 5% and 10%, respectively. Using LICHT and the RLI-Eu3+ device, detection thresholds were determined as follows: cholera toxin — 10 ng/mL, staphylococcal enterotoxin type B — 0.5 ng/mL, plague pathogen cells — 1×103 cells/mL, anthrax pathogen spores — 5×103 spores/mL, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus antigens — at a dilution of 1:640,000.

Conclusions. The developed video digital recorder RLI-Eu3+ and LICHT based on europium coordination compounds enabled the detection threshold of pathogenic microorganisms and bacterial toxins to be reduced by 20–128 times compared to immunochromatographic tests based on colloidal gold (CG) for the same pathogens.
Épiphanies et métamorphoses sur les montagnes
Authors: Camassa Giorgio
Published: February 2025

Résumé
La montagne est, pour de nombreuses cultures à travers le monde, le lieu où l'idée du sacré est profondément enracinée. Le haut
lieu, inaccessible au commun des mortels, est le cadre prédestiné où peut se produire une interaction avec des êtres surhumains.
La montagne est donc un lieu privilégié de révélation. La théophanie qui s'y produit, et par laquelle l'entité supérieure peut se
manifester sous une forme inhabituelle, est réservée à quelques élus. Ceux-ci peuvent acquérir, au moment de la rencontre
rapprochée, une connaissance supérieure. Mais il y a plus. Ceux qui s'aventurent dans le paysage montagneux, ou qui atteignent
le sommet de la montagne elle-même, sont souvent impliqués dans un processus de transformation qui reflète la densité de
l'expérience qu'ils ont vécue. Il en résulte une véritable métamorphose.

Abstract
The mountain is, for many cultures around the world, the place where the idea of the holy is deeply rooted. The high place,
inaccessible as it is to the common people, is the predestined setting in which an interaction with superhuman beings can occur.
The mountain is thus a prime place of revelation. The theophany that occurs there, and through which the superior entity can
show itself in an unusual form, is reserved to the chosen few. They can gain, at the moment of the close encounter, a higher
knowledge. But there is more. Those who venture into the mountain landscape, or get to the top of the mountain itself, are often
involved in a transformative process, which reflects the density of the experience they have gone through. The result thereof is,
as a matter of fact, a metamorphosis.
Sanctuaries between Materiality and Mentality
Authors: Chaniotis Angelo
Published: February 2025

Sanctuaries have occupied a primary position in archaeological research from the beginning of
systematic excavations in the late 19th century and have attracted the interest and the imagination of early
travelers and antiquarians1. It is not a coincidence that in the 19th century, all the major archaeological
schools in Greece focused on the excavation of sanctuaries. The Athens Archaeological Society conducted
excavations on the Acropolis, in Eleusis, and in Epidauros; the École Française in Delos and Delphi; the
German Archaeological Institute in the Heraion of Samos and in Olympia; and their example was followed
later by the American School of Classical Studies in Athens in Samothrace and the Italian Archaeological
School in Lemnos, to mention a few examples. This tradition continues until today.
The study of sanctuaries moves between two poles: materiality and mentality. Materiality refers
to aspects such as the architectural setting of sanctuaries (temples, altars, thesauroi, processional roads,
porticos, houses of priests, facilities for the accommodation of pilgrims, incubation halls, storerooms for
cult objects, etc.), the dedications, and the cult paraphernalia (libation vessels, perirrhanteria, sacrificial
knives, etc.), and the material remains of ritual practices (bones, ashes, food remains). With mentality I
mean all the immaterial, ideological and symbolic aspects in the life of sanctuaries: rituals, social relations
and interactions, piety, emotions, values, identity, and acculturation. To connect these two poles is an
important challenge. It means to associate the material evidence with ritual practices2, beliefs, and feelings,
and to interpret the material evidence using the methods of social anthropology, religious studies, and
cognitive science by considering the role of emotions and the senses – such as sounds (see below) and
smells.
Il santuario che non c’è. Identificazione e localizzazione del Minervium di Punta della Campanella
Authors: Matrone Tommasina
Published: February 2025

Riassunto
Secondo le fonti letterarie, nei pressi della città di Sorrento esisteva un antichissimo Athenaion/Minervium. Molti studiosi hanno
cercato di individuarne le tracce archeologiche nel corso del tempo e, attraverso il ritrovamento di materiale sporadico e la
straordinaria scoperta di un’iscrizione rupestre in lingua osca, è ormai quasi unanime la localizzazione sul promontorio di
Punta della Campanella. Secondo gli studi più recenti, il suo culto andrebbe attribuito a un’originale elaborazione locale della
dea Minerva con elmo frigio.

Abstract
According to literary sources there existed a very ancient Athenaion/Minervium nearby the city of Sorrento. Many scholars have
tried to identify its archaeological traces over time and, through the finding of sporadic material and the extraordinary discovery
of an Oscan-language rock inscription, there is now almost unanimous agreement on locating it on the promontory of Punta
della Campanella. According to the most recent studies, its cult should be attributed to an original local elaboration of the
goddess Minerva wearing a Phrygian helmet.
Procedural fairness in executive decision-making: A different take
Authors: Tsele Michael
Published: February 2025

This article considers two issues. The first continues to cause controversy nearly two decades after the decision which gave rise to it was handed down. It relates to whether executive decisions are (or should be) constrained by procedural-fairness requirements and, if so, when and how. At the centre of this debate is the Constitutional Court’s decision in Masetlha v President of the Republic of South Africa 2008 (1) SA 566 (CC), in which the apex court held that it was ‘inappropriate to constrain the exercise of executive power to the requirements of procedural fairness’. I consider the common criticisms of Masetlha and argue, contrary to other commentators, that the decision was neither ‘unprecedented’ nor so untenable as to justify statements to the effect that it is ‘obviously wrong’ and ‘at odds with the Constitution’. I further argue that there are sound reasons to justify the reasoning in Masetlha. The second issue I consider has not been squarely decided by the Constitutional Court: whether the effect of Masetlha is that an executive decision made by an executive functionary is not constrained by the rule against bias. Surprisingly, this has received limited academic interrogation in the wake of Masetlha. I argue that a High Court decision that addressed the issue did so without proffering a jurisprudentially clear and sound basis for its conclusions.
Avaliação dos acordos setoriais de logística reversa como mecanismos de promoção da economia circular
Authors: Leal Thomas Leonardo Marques de Castro , Araújo Janaina Cajé Guerra de , Rodrigues Luciano Brito
Published: February 2025

A Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) e a Logística Reversa (LR) estão alinhadas aos princípios da Economia Circular (EC). No entanto, este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar se os Acordos Setoriais (EA) para Logística Reversa de Resíduos, previstos na PNRS, contribuem para o desenvolvimento de uma economia mais circular. Primeiramente, foi necessário definir os fundamentos da EC por meio de uma revisão sistemática de outras revisões. Após a análise de 36 artigos, foi possível descrever 9 temas de EC relacionados a ciclo de vida, uso de recursos, design e recuperação de resíduos. Os EAs foram avaliados para determinar se estavam alinhados ou não aos temas. Os resultados mostram que os Acordos atendem à legislação em termos de responsabilidade dos stakeholders, mas não favorecem a EC. O que mais se aproximou da EC EC foi o Acordo de embalagens de óleo lubrificante, ao introduzir material reciclado na fabricação de novos produtos. Há muito espaço para melhorias nos EAs para tornar o ciclo reverso de resíduos mais circular, como simbiose industrial, ecodesign, extensão do ciclo de vida e modelos de negócios circulares.
Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Middle Level Academic Leadership in Nigerian Public Universities
Authors: Johnson Agbo Uchechukwu , Sallah Aboki Bambur , Boye Raji Rafiu
Published: February 2025

Trade Union in Higher Education Development in Nigeria dates back to the Nigerian Association of Universities Teachers. The Union was formed mainly to attend to the welfare of University Teachers. Academic Staff Union of Universities was an offshoot of the former, but extended the struggle to check Post-Colonial State elites in Nigeria for the interest of the common people to access education and their wellbeing by providing leadership in Higher Educational Institutions. A number of studies have been carried out on the role of Trade Union in Higher Education development. Suffice it to say, that the role of Trade Unions in leadership development in Higher Educational Institutions have not been substantially investigated. This study examines Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as a Trade Union in ensuring leadership development in Nigeria public universities. In doing this, we draws attention on how the Union has inculcated the culture of academic struggle resilience in leadership development amongst Middle Level academics in her struggle for a better higher education in the quest for more funding, academic freedom and democratization of  university system. In this regards, the union through her members mentor the middle level academics in appreciating these ideas as the leeway for quality education away from the inclusions of market economy in commoditization of Higher education in Nigeria and Africa at large beyond the reach of the downtrodden. The paper recommends that the Nigerian State should continue to provide the necessary funding for Higher education, in pursuit of academic freedom and democratization of University administration leadership to avoid opportunistic liberal capitalists from taken over Higher Education.

Authors: Pimentel Luciene , Roque Ketlyn da Cunha , Fonseca Murilo Noli da
Published: February 2025

O objetivo principal desse estudo foi analisar a percepção dos riscos de desastres deflagrados por eventos meteorológicos extremos em comunidades vulneráveis. Foi tomado como objeto para o estudo a Comunidade da Vila Torres em Curitiba, PR, Brasil. A região é afetada frequentemente por inundações e alagamentos. O método envolveu a realização de entrevistas estruturadas através de questionários sobre a temática da pesquisa com mais de 300 indivíduos residentes no local. Foram analisadas características sócio demográficas, e percepção de risco. Os resultados mostraram que quase a metade dos entrevistados são ou já foram afetados por inundações. Os resultados suportam a necessidade de que os sistemas de alerta e planos de evacuação contemplem questões de gênero, já que as mulheres, a maioria dos sujeitos entrevistados, relataram que são responsáveis por crianças e pessoas com alguma incapacidade. Além da atenção diferenciada às mulheres, os idosos, onde se concentra a maior parte de não letrados, também merecem atenção especial pelas dificuldades intrínsecas de quem não é alfabetizado nas situações de risco de desastres.

As estações de tratamento de esgoto (ETEs) desempenham papel crucial no manejo de resíduos de efluentes e na gestão sustentável. O papel principal dessas estações é remover substâncias presentes no esgoto, antes do seu retorno aos rios. Quando não adequadamente tratados, esses efluentes podem alterar as propriedades da água e da biota, contribuindo para para eutrofização, toxicidade e homogeneidade ambiental. Protocolos de avaliação rápida podem auxiliar na mensuração desses possíveis impactos. O objetivo do estudo foi realizar a caracterização do rio das Antas, corpo receptor dos efluentes da cidade de Cascavel-PR. Resultados mostram que o rio das Antas é uma área impactada, com construções próximas ao seu trecho, indícios de erosão e alterações no leito. Medidas que aumentem a depuração dos efluentes, além da restauração da vegetação marginal, são indicados para melhorar as condições e a gestão local.

A Study on User Satisfaction and Effectiveness of QFD Methodology for Eco-friendly Design Reflecting R&D Trends in Automotive Products
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Kim Hyeongseon , Yi Sungwook
Published: February 2025

A recent issue that has emerged as a major concern in the automobile industry is the eco-friendly design of automobile products. In reality, most automobile products are not recycled and emit a lot of carbon during the automobile operation process, which has a significant negative impact on the environment. To solve this problem, many automobile manufacturers around the world are making great efforts to design eco-friendly products.
Although automobile manufacturer research institutes are focusing on developing eco-friendly parts, there is still no methodology that can be usefully used by practitioners. The LCA-based eco-friendly research and development method utilized by many manufacturers requires checking a large amount of data throughout the entire product life cycle, so it takes a lot of time and money to derive results and is difficult for general practitioners in research institutes to use. In this study, we propose an eco-friendly research and development methodology using the QFD methodology and analyze whether the methodology can satisfy practitioners and satisfy the company's eco-friendly goals.
The QFD-based eco-friendly development methodology selects key eco-friendly items by utilizing the opinions of internal experts who consider the research and development perspectives such as the research status, patent status, and research-related policies for eco-friendly design target items in order to reflect the megatrends in the research and development perspective of automobile products. In order to improve the selected eco-friendly items, the functional modeling utilized in the TRIZ methodology is utilized to select detailed parts to be improved.
In this study, an empirical analysis was conducted to see if the eco-friendly design QFD process that can be utilized by actual practitioners can provide satisfaction to actual research institute members and produce the effect of deriving eco-friendly solutions.
The results of the empirical analysis confirmed that when using the QFD-based eco-friendly design methodology, the satisfaction of the methodology linked to the characteristics of the eco-friendly design methodology that practitioners think of was confirmed, and the actual eco-friendly design derivation has an effect linked to satisfaction in terms of being able to satisfy internal and external customer goals and establish procedures.
Gender-Affirming Care Is Not Standard Care in Occupational Therapy: A Scoping Review
Authors: Stugart Laurel K. , Larson Sophia C. , Lipsey Kim L. , Owens Grayson , Hoyt Catherine R.
Published: February 2025

Importance: The transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) community faces significant health care disparities, including elevated rates of mental health issues, poverty, and barriers to accessing affirming care. Occupational therapy practitioners are ethically obligated to provide gender-affirming care, yet there are no practice guidelines for such care.

Objective: To examine the landscape of gender-affirming care within occupational therapy practice, aiming to identify gaps for future research and guidelines.

Data Sources: Six databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science). Search dates ranged from database inception to September 19, 2023.

Study Selection and Data Collection: We followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for all methodologies. Studies were included if they described gender-affirming care, included language related to the transgender and gender-diverse community, and mentioned occupational therapy. Studies were excluded if they were not peer-reviewed or did not include an intervention.

Findings: A total of 614 studies were identified, and 17 were included. Of the included studies, the majority were qualitative (n = 9) and from the United States or Canada. Published research highlighted clinicians’ need for more training in gender-affirming care and suggested diverse modalities to bridge gaps in working with TGD individuals.

Conclusions and Relevance: This review underscores the urgent need for targeted research to address TGD individuals’ specific needs in occupational therapy practice. Future efforts should focus on developing and evaluating gender-affirming care interventions, expanding training modalities, and promoting inclusive care within occupational therapy.

Plain-Language Summary: The transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) community often encounters obstacles in accessing health care, including mental health issues and barriers to affirming care. Occupational therapy practitioners play a crucial role in providing gender-affirming care, yet there is a lack of clear guidelines for doing so. This study aimed to examine the current state of gender-affirming care in occupational therapy and identify areas for improvement, ultimately benefiting both practitioners and clients. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating gender-affirming care interventions, expanding training modalities, and promoting inclusive care within occupational therapy.

Early Career Agricultural Education Instructor Expectations for Professional Development Yields
Authors: Bloom Melanie , Tummons John , Smalley Scott , Ramstad Joe
Published: February 2025

A wealth of professional development programming exists for agricultural educators, but which experiences provide knowledge, skills, and tools most sought by early career agricultural educators? The purpose of this study was to isolate specific desired professional development outcomes for early career agricultural educators, as well as differences in specific expectations related to CASE certification. This study was guided by Mezirow’s transformative learning theory, which frames learning in adulthood as a transformative, rather than functional, process. The target population was agricultural educators between zero and five years of experience from Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska. A sample of 125 early career teachers completed a survey; descriptive statistics were applied to demographics and professional development expectations. The most desired outcomes included classroom procedures and ideas, practical advice and suggestions from both facilitators and co-participants, and hands-on practice from the student perspective. CASE-certified teachers expressed more interest in gaining practical advice and suggestions from both the facilitator and other participants. Non-CASE certified teachers had more interest in ideas for interest approach strategies, exit ideas, and energizer activity ideas, laboratory strategy ideas, and equipment storage and organization suggestions. These conclusions pose questions about the prioritization of academic integration as well as how experiences such as CASE professional development change expectations for professional development experiences.

The successful functioning of the European Union’s single market, particularly regarding the unrestricted movement of goods, services, capital, and workers, largely depends on a well-functioning tax system within the EU. Value Added Tax (VAT) holds significant fiscal importance for both the EU and its member states. In 1993, the removal of customs controls within the EU led to an increase in VAT-related fraud, prompting both the EU and its member states to take substantial measures to combat these issues. The Republic of Croatia is also faced with the misuse of value added tax regulations and is implementing strict measures to address these problems. A critical question arises concerning the liability of entrepreneurs and business partners of legal entities involved in tax fraud. Specifically, when can it be conclusively determined that the other party in a transaction with a legal entity that failed to pay tax „knew or should have known“ about the non-payment, indicating tax fraud? This paper aims to clarify the conditions under which the other contracting party of a legal entity suspected of VAT abuse may be held accountable for such violations.

The statute of limitations on claims represents a substantive legal institute governed by the Law of Obligations. It falls within the category of more complex legal issues, as it necessitates addressing a series of preliminary legal questions, such as the legal nature of the disputed claim, the commencement of the limitation period, its expiration, and other related matters. The aforementioned law, however, provides only general answers to these and similar questions. The Supreme Court, as the highest judicial authority, has adopted a series of general legal positions and interpretations concerning the statute of limitations on claims. Nevertheless, these interpretations pertain solely to decisions on the statute of limitations within the framework of litigation proceedings. In contrast, the legal issue of the statute of limitations on claims arising from enforceable instruments, examined in enforcement proceedings, has remained largely overlooked. The primary challenge lies in the provisions of the Law of Obligations, which are anachronistic when compared to the current enforcement legislation. Specifically, the Law of Obligations dates back to 1978, whereas enforcement legislation has undergone multiple amendments since then. Consequently, there exists a linguistic and substantive inconsistency between the Law of Obligations and the Law on Enforcement and Security Interest with regard to the statute of limitations on claims.

Authors: Pedroso Daniela , Lourenço Barbara
Published: February 2025

Esse estudo tem por objetivo desvelar as redes sociais como um espaço formativo e não apenas de entretenimento e retratar como esse fenômeno se intensificou no período da pandemia de Covid-19. A Pandemia obrigou a população mundial a adotar medidas de contenção, dentre elas o isolamento social. Foi nesse momento que a internet se tornou uma das possibilidades de dar continuidade aos estudos de milhares de estudantes por meio das redes sociais.  Com a internet como aliada da educação, muitos professores, buscaram conhecer melhor as ferramentas disponíveis. As conhecidas redes sociais, desde a sua crianção, tem o intuito de buscar conectar pessoas de todas as partes e as reunir por um interesse em comum. Dentre as mais populares estão o Instagram,  o Youtube e o Facebook, que são as redes abordadas durante essa pesquisa. No entanto, o foco principal desta investigação é o Facebook.  Por meio, do método de Estudo de caso nos aproximaremos da página criada pelo professor Rodrigo Saballa, voltada a conteúdos direcionados a educação.  Mas, é importante ressaltar que dentro desse espaço, ele compartilha também momentos pessoais, assim como, materias produzidos por ele como livros, cursos, lives,entre outros. As redes sociais desenvolveram um importante papel para educação durante a pandemia. E é por meio deste estudo, que comprovaremos esse fenômeno. Demonstrando, ainda que ela é uma grande aliada da educação, ao oferecer inúmeras possibilidades, não apenas para alunos, mas para professores, que foram retirados de suas zonas de conforto durante a pandemia de Covid-19.

Demam merupakan suhu tubuh diatas normal akibat peningkatan pusat pengatur suhu di hipotalamus yang dipengaruhi oleh interleukin-1. Demam (>37,5°C), hipotermi (<36,5°C),  dan normal (36.5°C- 37,5°C). Daun jamblang (Syzygium Cumini L.) memiliki kandungan flavonoid golongan flavonol yaitu kuersetin yang memiliki aktivitas dalam menurunkan demam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah ekstrak etanol daun jamblang (Syzygium Cumini L.) memiliki efektivitas sebagai antipiretik dan dosis paling efektif sebagai antipiretik. Jenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian eksperimental yang meliputi  pembuatan simplisia, pembuatan ekstrak etanol daun jamblang, skrining fitokimia, karakterisasi simplisia, ekstraksi menggunakan metode maserasi dengan pelarut etanol 96%, pembuatan larutan suspensi, penyiapan hewan uji dan uji aktivitas antipiretik pada hewan uji 25 ekor hewan mencit jantan (Mus Muscullus) yang diinduksi pepton dan dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok. Hasil penelitian dari ke 5 kelompok perlakuan yang mengalami penurunan demam yaitu kelompok paracetamol, kelompok ektrak etanol daun jamblang dosis 100, 150, 200 mg/KgBB. Dari 5 kelompok perlakuan, dosis yang paling baik adalah kelompok ekstrak daun jamblang (Syzygium Cumini L.) dosis 200 mg/kgBB yang sebanding dengan kelompok kontrol positif parasetamol dalam menurunkan demam pada hewan mencit jantan (Mus Muscullus). Untuk penelitian selanjutnya agar melakukan penelitian uji aktivitas yang lain seperti uji aktivitas antidiabetes, uji aktivitas antimikroba dan mendeteksi efek toksik suatu zat sehingga dapat dibuat formulasinya.

Addressing stunting in Indonesia has of course become a government priority, but if it's just the government itself, it's certainly not enough. An active and participatory role from all stakeholders is a necessity in overcoming stunting, because it is not enough just to involve policies, direct intervention actions in the community to raise awareness and increase awareness must also be carried out. Preventive measures to prevent additional stunting from occurring both quantitatively and qualitatively, and curative measures to assist communities who are suspected of having the potential or even indications of stunting to minimize the resulting risks. For this reason, UKI is present through community service activities at the UKI Faculty of Medicine in the Active Participation movement to Eliminate Stunting Towards a Healthy Indonesia called PkM PARIPURNA. The focus locations (loci) for the activity targets are seven villages in Rancakalong District, Sumedang Regency, West Java with core activities centered at the Rancakalong District Health Center including General Post, IGD Post, KIA Post, and Farmas Post with types of activities in the form of examination services, treatment, education and training. Activities will be carried out from May to August 2023 with a team consisting of lecturers and young doctors from the UKI Faculty of Medicine. The PkM activities were carried out well and received an extraordinary response from the community in seven villages in Rancakalong District, Sumedang Regency. From the results of examination service activities, data was obtained that the majority of people suffer from non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, gout, and others, while for children it is dominated by fever, cough, and diarrhea. Educational activities regarding balanced nutrition for pregnant women and toddlers were also carried out well, there was an increase in participants' knowledge about various information regarding the prevention and management of stunting. It was concluded that the active participation movement to eliminate stunting towards a healthy Indonesia could be a priority choice because it is very effective and has great benefits for society.

The main motive for undertaking the research in this study was to assess the impact of demographic processes, such as population aging, declining birth rates and negative migration balance, on the modern labor market. The article formulates two research objectives. The first is to identify the spatial diversity in the number of insured foreigners in Poland. The second objective is to assess the impact of foreign workers on labour market performance across different sectors of the economy. The study used selected methods of descriptive statistics (structure and dynamics analysis). The added value of the work is the presentation of research results at individual levels of data aggregation (communes, poviats, voivodships). The article enriches knowledge and develops discussion in the area of preventing shortages in the labour market, as well as answers essential questions related to current and future challenges in this area. Research shows that foreigners working in Poland come from over 200 countries, but the largest group, about 70% of the total number of insured foreigners, are citizens of Ukraine. Foreigners work in virtually all areas of our economy. Despite their steady growth in the Polish labour market, many staff shortages still occur.
