Locating Subalternity in Tribal Politics in India with Special Reference to Uttar Pradesh
Authors: - Mounamukhar Ghosh
Published: May 2024

The study of tribal politics in India has broadly followed two patterns. The first is the preoccupation of scholars with the question of integration of tribals into the 'mainstream' or the 'real political process' which is almost coterminous with the imaginary of what can commonly be referred to as the 'learning process' of 'nationalist politics'. (1)
The second approach is an offshoot of the first and scholars have been preoccupied with the question of the impossibility of resolving the issues faced by tribals within the first framework. Accordingly, this framework tries to take out the discourse of tribal politics from what is perceived as a 'narrow and partial' approach to study the contribution made by the 'people on their own' as Ranajit Guha puts it. The subaltern Studies Collective started by Guha in the 1980s provided a trenchant critique of nationalist politics. With tribal communities getting increasingly embroiled in political action with development induced displacement in post Independent India, such an approach has gained further traction. (2)

The paper makes a limited attempt to study the interaction of tribal politics in one of India's largest states, Uttar Pradesh, vis a vis, attempts to incorporate them into the 'mainstream' through various practices that lie at the intersection of the 'public' and 'private' by placing religion at the centre of identity formation. Historically tribal zones in India have remained under the influence of Christian missionaries and Naxalites. Hindu organisations started work among tribals from the 1990s and their activities can be seen as a countervailing influence against the Christian missionary activities. One of the most popular tropes used by Hindu organisations was that of a creation of a ‘national identity’ among the tribals which was quintessentially a political process. Although anthropologists have long studied the process of Hinduisation' among tribal communities. The paper will show the changing nature of state practices in India vis a vis the tribals who are identified as 'subalterns' and thus be useful for comparative studies across states.

Authors:   Taegu Science University Defense Security Institute, Im Hyo Min , Kim Eun Hye , Lee Ji Hye
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to develop and test the measurement for job satisfaction of the shift work nurses. In accordance with the stages of scale development by DeVellis, 10 expert nursing administrators reviewed the content validity. 80 voluntary participants answered the initial instrument. Content, construct, and criterion-related validities were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was approved by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. As a result of the study, the measuring scale for job satisfaction for the shift work nurses consists of 10 items, with 3 factors. The model fit was good with all indicators (χ2 38.318(p-value .205), RMSEA .050, TLI .955, CFI .974). The Cronbach’s alpha was .775, content validity, criterion-related validity and discriminant validity was all approved but the convergent validity was partially met. A specified measuring scale for job satisfaction of the shift work nurses had been developed and the validity and reliability of the measurement were analyzed. Although the convergent validity was partially not perfectly secured, overall validity and reliability of the measurement had been approved. It may be necessary to repeatedly measure job satisfaction related to shift work using the developed scale among a larger sample of subjects to ensure the validity of the developed measurement. Furthermore, it is expected that by utilizing the developed measurement, the job satisfaction of nurses working shifts can be measured and used as an indicator for organizational performance improvement.
Conflicts in a Community from News Data Analysis, and Its Civil Jury System Operations to Manage Conflicts: Focused on Daegu's Suseong-gu)
Authors:   Taegu Science University Defense Security Institute, Kim Sun Young , Shin Gyeong Seop
Published: May 2024

In this study, we reviewed the literature on community conflict and conflict mediation and performed empirical study with LDA-based topic modeling to understand conflict patterns in Suseong-gu, Daegu, and then analyzed cases of conflict mediation through the civil jury system. It was conducted based on analysis of civil complaint jury minutes for about 10 years (April 28, 2011 - July 3, 2019) and news data from the same period. From this, the implications of the civil jury system as a community conflict management mechanism were presented through an understanding of complex and multidimensional conflicts in the community. The main concepts of the Citizens' Jury System identified in the study consist of three components. Firstly, there are conflicting parties seeking understanding, followed by the forum of communication, which could be referred to as the “public sphere,” created through complaints arbitration meetings to facilitate dialogue. Lastly, there is the neutral third-party group who mediate to induce agreement among conflicting parties and thereby reduce or resolve conflicts. The process of the Citizens' Jury meetings not only prevents the polarization of conflicting groups but also holds significant implications beyond the institutional aspect of conflict resolution, including rational mediation by a third party well-versed in local community affairs, overcoming/solving rational ignorance through information sharing in the conflict public sphere, voluntary participation by complaints arbitrators, and compliance with arbitration decisions, contributing to the augmentation of social capital and effective conflict resolution.

Panic Disorder Versus Thyroid Medication Overuse: A Case Report
Authors: Rosmina Putri , Samuel Timothy
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Panic disorder is defined as the occurrence of spontaneous panic attacks that are not triggered by any specific stimulus. The symptoms of panic disorder include panic episodes that occur frequently and unexpectedly, as well as anxiety about the possibility of experiencing further panic attacks, the repercussions of panic attacks, or a change in behavior as a result of panic attacks. This study presented the diagnosis and treatment of panic disorder comorbid with thyroid medication overuse.  
Case presentation: A 36-year-old female patient presented to the emergency room with a primary concern and symptoms consistent with panic disorder, including experiencing a sense of losing control or impending death, chest pain, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, excessive perspiration, trembling, and dizziness. The patient experienced significant periods of anxiety between episodes, preoccupied with the anticipation of the next occurrence. Each episode had a duration of roughly 15 minutes. The patient refutes any history of alcohol or drug misuse, and her sole medical condition is hypothyroidism. Subsequently, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the thyroid profile and make a referral to an internal medicine specialist for collaborative treatment. We treated the patient with a combination of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine 20 mg/day and a course of cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Conclusion: Repeated episodes of intense panic attacks, accompanied by feelings of anxiety and observable alterations in behavior, distinguish panic disorder as a medical illness. The treatment involves the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antidepressants, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Classification of Hypertension Using Naïve Bayes Method with Data Discretization Approach Risk Factors
Authors: Munali Yazid , Armansyah
Published: May 2024

Generally, patients are unaware of their hypertension condition before having their blood pressure checked. One out of three Indonesians suffers from hypertension, and this figure continues to rise annually. Hypertension is often referred to as the silent killer because individuals with high blood pressure do not exhibit symptoms. This study aims to classify hypertensive patients in an effort to reduce the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia by aiding in early detection of the disease and increasing awareness of hypertension among the Indonesian population. By using the Naïve Bayes method and implementing data discretization of risk factors, the dataset used comprises 11,627 health examination records of 4,434 participants from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) organized by the National Institutes of Health. The classification method utilizes the Naïve Bayes Algorithm, and data discretization is performed using the CART (Classification and Regression Trees) method. The system provides an estimation of the probability of hypertension occurrence based on input factors/symptoms, where Naive Bayes achieves an accuracy rate 84.28%.

A Study on Problems and Improvement Measures of Taxation on REITs Dividendable Profits
Authors:   KOREAN SOCIETY OF TAX LAW, Kim Su-Sung , Choi Kyung-Jin
Published: May 2024

REITs are indirect real estate investment products that collect funds from investors, invest them in real estate-related securities, and return the profits to investors. In the case of domestically listed REITs, if dividendable profits are generated, more than 90% must be paid as dividends. Through this, corporate tax is exempted. The government has made great efforts to expand the size of the public REITs and public real estate fund markets. Nevertheless, REIT investment is less active in some areas than major overseas countries. Recently, under the Corporate Tax Act, the principle is not to include valuation gains and losses in the tax base. However, arguments have raised that an exception should be recognized for REIT valuation losses. This is because undistributed profits due to valuation losses of REITs, which are indirect investment vehicles, are included in the taxable list, and corporate tax is paid, causing the double taxation problem for REIT investors.
Considering this situation, this study examined the problems and improvement measures of the current REIT-related tax system for the growth of Korea's REIT market. In addition, we sought to derive implications for tax support for the REITs market through examples from significant countries. If we want to revitalize the REITs market more than currently, support from government policies is essential. Among them, tax support occupies the most important position. In order to dramatically grow the REITs market, it is necessary to provide bold tax benefits as in other countries.
This study raised the need to improve Korea's current REIT tax system, as in the cases of the United States and Japan, and attempted to establish a taxation plan for the REIT tax system suitable for Korea's circumstances. One of the most urgent tasks in revitalizing REIT investment is to quickly resolve the conflicting issues between commercial law and corporate tax law to prevent double taxation of REITs. In addition, the tax support plan presented in this study is expected to minimize tax problems occurring in the REIT market and promote a reasonable taxation plan for the REIT market that is consistent with Korea. The policy alternatives in this study are expected to help use them as primary data when establishing policy alternatives for tax authorities or related ministries in the future.

Accessibility of State Financial Information: Analysis of State MD&A Size, Readability, and Timeliness
Authors: Yusuf Wie , Jordan Meagan M. , Saitgalina Marina , Jones Peter A.
Published: May 2024

As the summary narrative introducing the comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) issued by state or local governments in the U.S., the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to facilitate meaningful use by a broad audience. The MD&A serves as a transparency mechanism and must be accessible in terms of size, readability, and timeliness. We examine accessibility of MD&As issued by state governments in the U.S. using institutional, agency, and legitimacy theories to analyze how accessibility is related to internal (organizational) and external (environmental) factors. Our findings offer support for the importance of internal factors. The lack of support for institutional, agency, or legitimacy theory imply the lack of intentionality by states to go beyond required content to bolster accessibility for the non-expert public user.

Points for practitioners

• Accessibility of the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) can be measured using three dimensions: size, readability, and timeliness.

• States with an elected comptroller had more accessible MD&As, suggesting that an elected comptroller, serving as the chief fiscal officer, may be more responsive to public demands compared to a political appointee.

• Organizational capacity factors were most influential in explaining timeliness of MD&A issuance, with greater capacity being reflected in more spending on central agency staff and greater number of state employees.
The Impact of Administrative Intensity on Financial Sustainability in Local Government: An Empirical Analysis of New South Wales
Authors: Yarram Subba Reddy , Dung Tran Carolyn-Thi Thanh , Dollery Brian Edward
Published: May 2024

While a voluminous empirical literature has examined both municipal efficiency and financial sustainability in local government, to date no effort has been directed at investigating the relationship between administrative intensity and financial sustainability in local government, notwithstanding its public policy significance. The present paper thus seeks to address this gap in the empirical literature by examining the putative association between administrative intensity and financial sustainability in the New South Wales (NSW) local government system over the period 2015/16 to 2018/19. In addition, we examine whether variations in this relationship exist between regional and urban NSW local authorities. We find that administrative intensity has detrimental effects on financial sustainability in aggregate since it adversely affects the fiscal balance of local councils, while at the same time increasing the financial risk of local authorities. In terms of any variation between regional and urban councils, we find that administrative intensity has a differential impact on the two council categories in various ways.

Points for Practitioners

• No effort has been directed previously at investigating the relationship between administrative intensity and financial sustainability in local government, notwithstanding its public policy significance.

• This study investigates the putative association between administrative intensity and financial sustainability in the New South Wales (NSW) local government system.

• Our empirical findings show that administrative intensity has detrimental effects on financial sustainability.

• Administrative intensity has a differential impact on regional and urban local councils in various ways. ‘One size fits all' approaches should thus be avoided in local government public policy formulation.

Authors: Nazimov Serhii
Published: May 2024

Gregarines (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) are protists that live in the digestive tract and other body cavities of numerous terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates. The gregarine fauna of Eastern Europe has not yet been sufficiently studied. In the course of this study, we aimed to record gregarines living in the insides of the most widespread species of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae: Coleoptera) in steppe zone of Ukraine. We found 7 species of gregarines belonging to 3 families: Actinocephalidae, Gregarinidae and Stylocephalidae, with the latter family being the most diverse. Gregarina Steinina diaperis was recorded in Diaperis boleti, Gregarina ormierei in Gonocephalum pusillum, and G. ovoidea in Asida lutosa. As for members of the family Stylocephalidae, Sphaerorhynchus cf. hamoni was found in G. pusillum, Stylocephalus gigas in Blaps lethifera, S. longicollis in Gnaptor spinimanus, and S. oblongatus in A. lutosa, Opatrum sabulosum, Oodescelis melas, and Pimelia subglobosa. G. ovoidea Wellmer, 1911, S. gigas Filipponi, 1949, S. longicollis (Stein, 1848) Watson, 1916 and S. oblongatus (Hammerschmidt, 1838) Watson, 1916 were first found in a new host species. All the identified species are new to the fauna of Ukraine and are recorded for the first time in the steppe zone of Eastern Europe.

Iklim usaha di bidang penyiaran sudah menjadi persoalan yang cukup kompleks di Indonesia. Namun tak hanya itu, dalam penyiaran, perizinan memiliki dinamikanya tersendiri. Kepemilikan media harus melalui proses perizinan yang alurnya dapat dikatakan lebih mudah dari sebelumnya. Tetapi pada kenyataannya masih banyak Lembaga Penyiaran yang mengalami kendala perizinan salah satunya Radio K2 FM sebagai Lembaga Penyiaran Publik Lokal (LPPL) di Kabupaten Indramayu. Dalam penelitian ini peneliti ingin menganalisis apa saja yang menjadi kendala bagi Radio K2 FM mulai dari statusnya yang harus menyesuaikan dengan undang-undang hingga izin yang sudah tidak diteruskan sejak tahun 2022 serta peneliti ingin mengetahui bagaimana peran pemerintah dalam menghadapi kendala perizinan Radio K2 FM tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data yang dilakukan melalui wawancara dengan 10 informan dalam bentuk Focus Group Disscusion (FGD), studi dokumentasi, dan studi literatur. Hasil dari penelitian ini bahwa yang menjadi kendala perizinan Radio K2 FM adalah perubahan pemangku jabatan yang dinamis sehingga tidak ada peran pejabat yang dapat fokus menangani persoalan perizinan Radio K2 FM. Selain itu, peran pemerintah yang minim sehingga dukungan anggaran yang diajukan oleh Radio K2 FM sebagai LPPL tidak dikabulkan. Radio K2 FM membutuhkan sosok yang memang mencintai radio agar radionya dapat berkembang.

Background and objectives. Optimal management requires an understanding of Burkholderia infections demographic, clinical, microbiological, and antibiotic features. This study aims to improve treatment and infection control strategies by investigating the clinical profiles and antibiotic susceptibilities of Burkholderia infections in a tertiary care context. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of 48 individuals with Burkholderia infections was carried out in a tertiary care environment. We gathered and analyzed data on antimicrobial susceptibility, clinical presentation, microbiological identification, and demographic features. Results. The mean age of the participants was 49.27 years, and their gender distribution was equal. Diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension are common comorbidities. The most typical symptoms were fever and cough, with infections varying in severity from minor to severe. Burkholderia was predominantly found in urine, blood, and respiratory secretions. Testing for antibiotic susceptibility showed inconsistent findings; some drugs, including ceftazidime and meropenem, were more successful than others. Conclusion. The research highlights the broad demographics impact of Burkholderia infections, in addition to their acute and occasionally fatal characteristics. It highlights how important it is to treat every patient differently, accounting for comorbidities and the severity of symptoms. The results emphasize how much more study is required to improve treatment options and learn more about the origins of Burkholderia infections.

Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS), also known as congenital poikiloderma, is a genodermatosis that appears in infancy and is characterized by poikilodermatous changes in the skin. It is a very rare and complex genetic disorder that can present with a wide range of symptoms and affect multiple systems in the body. The syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. A 21-year-old female patient presented to our rheumatology outpatient clinic with swelling of the hands, sclerodactyly, and stiffness of the fingers with preliminary diagnosis of systemic sclerosis. She has had deformities in her feet and hands since the age of one year. Physical examination revealed poikiloderma and extremity deformities. She also had neutropenia in her bloodstream. She was diagnosed with Rothmund Thomson syndrome after genetic test results, prescribed colchicine and followed up regularly every three months. After two years of follow-up, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

The power plants in Indonesia are mostly used to supply energy for the industrial sector, including the upstream oil and gas as well as mining companies. Several companies operating in Riau contribute to the status of the region as the largest oil producer in Indonesia. These companies rely on self-generated electricity for their operations with subsequent impact on the environment. Therefore, this research was conducted to analyze the flow of energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, and environment at the 6 MW power plant operated by BOB - PT Bumi Siak Pusako - Pertamina Hulu. The second law of thermodynamics was used to evaluate energy efficiency as the maximum achievable effort. This was further integrated with economic principles to appraise the useful and wasted costs associated with thermodynamic systems through the concept of exergoeconomics. The results showed that the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine power plant was 42.85% and the exergy efficiency was 33.22% with the largest loss recorded in the combustion chamber to be 3.091 MW in the form of vibration, friction, or expansion of the components. It was also discovered that the exergy efficiency of each component was above 75%, thereby indicating the components of the gas turbine power plant components were in good condition. Moreover, the largest exergy destruction cost was 2349.16 USD/h and the exergy cost was 3,778.05 USD/kWh. The exhaust emission generated by the gas turbine power plant was 0.21 kg/s or equivalent to 0.1425 kg/kWh requiring a forest area of 11.63 ha. The results showed that the analytical method used could be comprehensively developed and applied to other power plants in Indonesia. It could also be used to understand system performance, identify energy losses, optimize energy efficiency, and link economic aspects with energy use.
