Authors: O. Bannor Frank , Ganu Josephine , O. Deya Derrick
Published: December 2024

This study examined the influence of frontline leadership communication on employee commitment within nonprofit organizations in Monrovia, Liberia. Four key questions guided the research: (1) perceptions of leaders’ communication and transparency, (2) commitment levels, (3) the relationship between communication, transparency, and commitment, and (4) the mediating role of transparency. Data from 388 respondents show that employees perceive communication and transparency positively. A strong positive correlation (r=0.891, p < 0.001) was found between these factors and commitment, which predicted 82.5% of the variance. The Sobel test confirms that transparency mediates this relationship (z = 7.403, p < 0.001). This highlights the importance of strategic communication in enhancing employee commitment. Recommendations include broadening the study’s scope to determine if the findings are applicable across various cultural and organizational contexts.

Authors: Walube Tina Kantono , Rutanga Murindwa , Makoboza Paul
Published: December 2024

Mentorship involves exchanging knowledge, skills, and experience between a more knowledgeable and skilled individual and a less experienced and skilled one. Mentorship fosters professional skill development, confidence, scholarly productivity, career advancement. It also helps in stress reduction, and increasing job satisfaction. There is limited research on academic staff mentorship in tertiary institutions in Uganda. This study sought to address this knowledge gap by examining how mentorship is undertaken by academic staff, the challenges it faces, and how it can be improved at Makerere University in Uganda. This study was conducted using a qualitative research design. The participants were purposively selected from three colleges at the university. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and manually analyzed using a thematic approach. The major results revealed that mentorship among academic staff at this institution was practiced informally as there were no formal structures to guide and facilitate mentorship practice. Therefore, we recommend that formal structures be implemented to guide, facilitate, and enhance this practice.

Published: December 2024

The primary objective of this study is to analyze the effects of plyometric training on sprint and agility performance in college athletes, focusing on hurdle jumps and box jumps as interventions. A total of 45 college athletes were selected based on their participation in regular sports training. They were divided into three groups: Group Hurdle Jump (GHJ), Group Box Jump (GBJ), and a Control Group (GCR). The plyometric training program lasted for 12 weeks, with the GHJ and GBJ groups completing specific plyometric exercises, while the GCR group followed their usual training regimen without additional interventions. The results showed significant improvements in both sprint speed and agility in the intervention groups. In the GHJ group, sprint performance improved from 3.18 ± 0.32 seconds (pretest) to 2.79 ± 0.29 seconds (posttest) (p = 0.01), while agility improved from 12.21 ± 0.67 seconds to 10.20 ± 0.43 seconds (p = 0.01). Similarly, the GBJ group demonstrated improvements in sprint performance from 3.15 ± 0.43 seconds to 2.98 ± 0.13 seconds (p = 0.05), and agility performance from 12.43 ± 0.82 seconds to 11.01 ± 0.39 seconds (p = 0.05). In contrast, the Control Group (GCR) did not show statistically significant changes in either sprint or agility performance, with p-values of 0.34 and 0.63, respectively. These findings suggest that targeted plyometric exercises, particularly hurdle jumps and box jumps, play a crucial role in enhancing sprint and agility performance in college athletes. The study also highlights the effectiveness of the Smartspeed timing system in accurately measuring performance changes in these parameters. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impacts of such training programs on various sports disciplines.

Objective. The objective of this study was to explore the mediators (pain self-efficacy, pain catastrophizing, back pain beliefs) of Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) on disability for patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) in Saudi Arabia (SA). Methods. An observational multisite pre-post study design was utilized. This study was done at the Physical Therapy (PT) Clinics related to the Ministry of Health in SA, from December 2020 to December 2021. Chronic LBP patients were recruited into a 2-week PT program. Ten eligible physical therapists across six PT clinics were involved in the study who treat musculoskeletal and LBP patients. There were two groups (usual care of physical therapy “US-PT” vs. “PNE”). The mediators and disability were evaluated at the baseline (T0) and 2-week follow-up (T1). Results. A total of 249 patients met the selection criteria and consented to participate in the study. 131 patients received UC-PT only and 118 patients received PNE in addition to UC-PT. Baseline patient characteristics showed the mean age was 41.41 (SD = 12.03), and 144 of the participants (57.8%) were female. Increased pain self-efficacy (95% CI = −3.99, −1.15), decreased pain catastrophizing (95% CI = −3.42, −0.88), and decreased belief that they were disabled by pain (95% CI = −2.43, −0.33) fully mediated the PNE effect on disability at a 2-week interval. Conclusion. PNE participants showed greater improvement from baseline to 2 weeks on each cognitive factor hypothesized to mediate the effect of PNE on disability. The study results provided guidance on how to target treatment recommendations to gain the maximum benefits from PNE. Also, this study generated evidence that is useful for physical therapists and researchers to improve PNE to optimize chronic LBP patient outcomes.

Authors: Pick Anna , Dąbek Aneta
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a custom therapeutic program in reducing diastasis recti (DR). Materials and Methods. The study included 64 participants aged 18–25 years diagnosed with DR. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of two groups: experimental or control. Participants in the experimental group followed a custom therapeutic program for four weeks. Research tools included the IPAQ questionnaire (short version), a custom survey, the Beighton score, and the curl-up test. Results. After four weeks of the therapeutic program, a significant reduction in DR was observed in the experimental group. A statistically significant correlation was found between the reduction in DR and the frequency of therapy sessions (p ≤ 0.05). Additionally, significant correlations were noted between DR below the navel and BMI (p ≤ 0.05) and WHR (p ≤ 0.05). However, no correlation was found between DR at the xiphoid process level and BMI, WHR, joint hypermobility, MET scores, weekly training frequency, or training experience. Conclusions. The custom therapeutic program, performed daily for four weeks, proved effective in reducing diastasis recti. Incorporating eccentric abdominal exercises into therapy for individuals with DR is recommended.

Authors: Chałupka Anna , Sobieska Magdalena
Published: December 2024

FASD may occur in up to 2–5% of the population. The effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the development of the central nervous system (CNS) have been widely described, but usually only in school-age children. Early diagnosis and assessment of motor development can facilitate the development of effective intervention and support protocols, which can improve motor functioning and the overall development of these children . In the article, we look at the research methods and scales used to examine the motor development of infants exposed to prenatal alcohol exposure and critically analyze the usefulness of the diagnostic methods. The high predictive value of studies combining quantitative and qualitative assessment is increasingly emphasized. All publications assessing the psychomotor development of children exposed to prenatal alcohol exposure are based on studies using scales assessing child development only quantitatively. In the presented studies, the results are ambiguous. The discrepancy in results in selected publications may be due to the inaccuracy of the selected measurement tools.

Household waste management has become a serious challenge for many cities amid population growth and urbanization. Poorly managed waste has the potential to pollute the environment, burden landfills, and decrease the quality of life for communities. This challenge is exacerbated by the low level of waste sorting at the source and illegal dumping. This research develops a system dynamics-based model in the form of a Stock and Flow Diagram (SFD) to analyze the flow of household waste from source to final processing, encompassing community behavior, infrastructure, and intervention policies. The study evaluates two approaches: subsidies for waste processing facilities and strengthening law enforcement against illegal waste disposal. Although the results indicate that law enforcement is more effective in reducing illegal waste, neither approach has succeeded in significantly decreasing the amount of household waste. This shows that existing policies are insufficient to change community behavior. Therefore, a holistic and sustainable approach is needed, including community education, improved accessibility to facilities, and more effective law enforcement to reduce the impact of household waste.

Published: December 2024

There has been a significant increase in HIV cases in the MSM (men who have sex with men) group. They have a greater risk of contracting HIV than the adult male group in general, which is 22x more likely to contract HIV. This is caused by risky sexual behavior, changing partners without using a condom. HIV infections in the MSM group have increased, 25.8% from 2012 to 2016. The dual stigma of sexual and status as HIV sufferers has caused them to become a hidden and difficult to reach group. This condition contributes to less than optimal handling and prevention of HIV transmission. Changes in physical, psychological and social conditions influence the productivity of PLHIV (People Living with HIV). Opportunistic infections cause physical problems. Losing their jobs, rejection and the risk of mental disorders due to their status as MSM and HIV. The high level of stigma and discrimination still hampers access to health services, thereby affecting the quality of life for PLHIV. This research aims to provide an overview of the quality of life of the MSM group suffering from HIV in Surakarta. The instrument uses a standardized questionnaire, namely the Indonesian version of WHO Quality of Life-HIV Bref which has been tested for validity and reliability. This research is a type of quantitative research using a descriptive research design with 30 respondents. The research results showed that most respondents were unmarried (86.7%), worked as private employees (66.7%), had a high school education (96.7%) and had been diagnosed with HIV for more than 5 years (63.3%). The majority of respondents' quality of life was in the sufficient category, namely 86.6%. The results of this research can be used as a reference in developing further interventions as an effort to improve the quality of life of MSM HIV in Surakarta.

Socio-Cultural Intelligence Perspective: Citizenship and National Defense in Indonesia's Plural Society
Authors: Kertopati Susaningtyas Nefo Handayani
Published: December 2024

Indonesia is a country with a pluralistic society, consisting of various ethnicities, religions and other social groups. In various studies, pluralistic societies have socio-cultural threats in social conflict, insurgency/separatism and even disintegration. This is related to the activation of primordial sentiment as social solidarity in competition for limited resources, as well as structural problems such as injustice and inequality in development. This is in line with the shift in defense and security threats which do not only have a military dimension, but also non-military and hybrid ones. For this reason, a socio-cultural intelligence perspective is important in responding to the dynamics of this shifting threat. Because, as happened in Indonesia during the colonial period, post-New Order democratization, as well as more recently such as the Arab Spring phenomenon, as well as conflicts in northern Russia and Ukraine. So, the pluralism of society accompanied by structural problems is often exploited to create security instability in a country. The approach to citizenship and national defense through the Development of National Defense Awareness (PKBN) as a massive effort as a non-military defense strategy is important to maintain the diversity that exists in Indonesia. PKBN can build a strong Indonesian identity on top of a primordial identity to prevent politicization and exploitation which could lead to instability in Indonesia's security.

The environment is a very important aspect of human life, which functions as the main source for fulfilling various needs. The environmental problems that occur frequently and are commonly encountered today are water pollution. One of the water sources that is currently very polluted is rivers. This study aims to analyze the factors and impacts of the pollution in the Ciliwung River, and determine the regulations that have been implemented to reduce this pollution. The research method used in writing this paper is the normative legal research method. In this study, the authors used primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. Primary legal materials, namely statutory regulations and official documents containing legal provisions, while secondary legal materials are materials that provide explanations related to primary legal materials. The results obtained in this study indicate that a few factors causing pollution of the river is the lack of awareness of local residents who still throw garbage into the river, as it has an impact on the water quality, public health, damage to the ecosystem around the river and impact on social and economic losses. The regulations that have been issued and implemented by the government to reduce pollution in the Ciliwung River, one of which is the Undang-Undang (UU) Nomor 18 Tahun 2008 tentang Pengelolaan Sampah regulating the waste management in Indonesia. So, the water pollution that occurs cannot be separated from irresponsible human actions or activities and to deal with this, the role of the government is needed to increase public awareness in dealing with this pollution.

Published: December 2024

A situational analysis based on research conducted by Muhasidah et al. (2023) on 128 respondents showed that more than 50% of them suffered from Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Among these, 67 respondents had hypertension, with 32 not taking hypertension medication regularly and 8 not taking medication at all. The irregular intake of antihypertensive drugs can lead to complications such as stroke, heart abnormalities, and kidney disease. Makassar City recorded a total of 5,632 hypertension cases (8.9%), the highest prevalence in South Sulawesi. Karunrung Subdistrict, under the working area of the Kassi-kassi Community Health Center, had the highest cases of hypertension in Makassar City. The implementing partner's priority problem was the high rate of hypertension in the area, along with the absence of an Integrated Development Post (Posbindu) for NCDs. The target partner community also lacked awareness about the importance of consistently taking antihypertensive medication to prevent complications such as stroke, heart abnormalities, and kidney disorders. The objectives of this activity were to establish an Integrated Development Post (Posbindu) for NCDs, increase the target partner's knowledge and ability to conduct Posbindu activities, educate families about the prevention and management of NCDs, and reduce the incidence of NCDs by 20–30% within one year. The proposed solutions included training target groups, providing guidebooks, implementing the five-table Posbindu NCD activities, encouraging the community to participate in weekly physical exercise for NCDs, and distributing guidebooks on NCDs and Posbindu activities prepared by the community service team. The partner's contribution included providing a permanent facility that could be used as the Posbindu NCD. The expected outcomes of this activity were the establishment of a Posbindu NCD in RW 08, increased knowledge among target partners from 50% to 80%, the initiation of weekly NCD exercise sessions, and a reduction in NCD cases by 20–30% during the year. The community service results showed significant improvement in knowledge, understanding, and attitudes among cadres and individuals with NCDs. A Posbindu was successfully established with the help of the community service team and implementing partners, including the Kassi-kassi Health Center. The sustainability of the Posbindu activities will be handed over to the implementing partners, namely the Kassi-kassi Health Center and the local community groups (Majelis Taklim).

Authors: Simanungkalit Jelita , Diani Salma , Rahmi Siti Naila , Fitrawaty Fitrawaty
Published: December 2024

This research examines the relationship between monetary aggregates (M1 and M2) and economic growth as measured by nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Indonesia during the period of January-June 2024. The research aims to analyze the impact of money demand and supply on economic growth using multiple linear regression analysis. Research findings reveal that the model has an explanatory capability of 71.6% in explaining nominal GDP variations. Key findings include: (1) M1 has a negative relationship with nominal GDP, with a regression coefficient of -3.240, indicating that an increase in narrow money supply is associated with a decline in GDP. This can be caused by resource diversion effects from productive sectors and lag effects in monetary policy transmission; (2) M2 shows a significant positive relationship with nominal GDP, with a regression coefficient of 9.363, indicating that an increase in broad money supply correlates with economic growth.

Published: December 2024

This research examines the implementation of legal aid for underprivileged communities based on Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid. Access to justice is a fundamental right of every citizen guaranteed by the constitution; however, many underprivileged people still face difficulties in obtaining legal assistance due to financial limitations. Data from the Central Statistics Agency shows that the number of poor people in Indonesia still reaches 26.50 million people in 2022, and this condition is exacerbated by the lack of public knowledge about their right to receive free legal aid. This study raises three research questions: the implementation of legal aid programs for underprivileged communities in Indonesia, the obstacles faced in program implementation, and efforts to optimize the legal aid program. Using a normative juridical method through statutory and conceptual approaches, this research is expected to make a significant contribution to developing a more effective and accessible legal aid system for underprivileged communities.

Data analysis uses a definite integral formula implemented through MATLAB software, producing a projection of each student's savings balance within a 6 month period. The research results show that the integral approach is certainly effective in modeling the growth of savings balances. Respondents who are disciplined in saving with little spending tend to have a significant positive balance, while those whose savings contribute less than their spending experience a deficit. Simulation with MATLAB makes it easier to visualize and plan students' finances. This approach provides important insights into personal financial management, particularly in saving regularly and understanding the impact of continuous interest. It is hoped that these findings can help students improve financial literacy and make financial planning more effective.

Authors: Muda Zildjian Aditya , Gunardi Ariawan
Published: December 2024

Bankruptcy is a legal solution that aims to resolve the debtor's inability to fulfill his obligations to creditors, as well as creating fairness in the distribution of assets. However, in practice, the implementation of guarantee execution often faces obstacles in the form of a Niet Ontvankelijke Verklaard (Formal Defect) decision, namely a lawsuit that is declared inadmissible due to non-fulfillment of formal requirements such as a lack of relevant parties (Plurium Litis Consortium), unclear object of the lawsuit (obscuur libel). ), or other administrative errors. This obstacle not only slows down the dispute resolution process, but also disrupts legal certainty, especially for separatist creditors who have special rights over the debtor's collateral. This research aims to analyze the causes of claims being declared Niet Ontvankelijke Verklaard (Formally Disabled) in the bankruptcy process, their impact on the effectiveness of collateral execution, and offer recommendations to improve the efficiency of the legal system. Using normative juridical research methods, this article examines relevant legislation, legal documents and jurisprudence. This analysis shows that these legal obstacles are often caused by a lack of understanding of civil procedural legal procedures, completeness of documents, and inaccuracies in preparing lawsuits. This article recommends improving regulations to clarify formal lawsuit requirements, education and training for legal practitioners, as well as digitizing court administration processes to minimize procedural errors. The implementation of these steps is expected to reduce legal obstacles resulting from Niet Ontvankelijke Verklaard (Formal Defects) and ensure legal certainty in the execution of guarantees in bankruptcy, so that the dispute resolution process can run more fairly and efficiently.
