Authors: Putri Risma Kholfiana , Atti Herawati Atti Herawati , Yanti Suryanti Yanti Suryanti
Published: November 2023

Writing is a language skill which is used as indirect communication and an activity of getting down ideas and feeling. Actually, the process of writing is not easy for students. In writing students have to focus on grammar, words and also control them in making sentences. There is a way to help students to write, that is through watching a movie. Movie is a good media to increase students’ interest and motivation. Therefore, the ability to use media is one of competences that every teacher must have. One example of children movie is Rugrats. The population of this research was 360 students while the sample was 72 students. This research was conducted by using quasi experimental method. The writer used nonequivalent and applied Pre–test and Post-test control group design. Based on the research the result of t-calculated is 1.46 in the level of significance of 0.01 is 2.39 and the level of significance of 0.05 is 1.67. So, t-calculated is lower than t-table. It means that there is no effect of watching Rugrats movie on students’ writing ability.

Authors: Jati Gahara Mahadyatmika , Wibowo Wahyu
Published: November 2023

PT Petrokimia Gresik is the most complete fertilizer producer in Indonesia and produces various types of fertilizers. NPK is a fertilizer that contains nitrogen (N) to make plants greener, phosphorus (P) to stimulate root growth, and potassium (K) to make plants more upright and sturdy. This study aims to determine the optimum value of using sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and ammonia so as to obtain the best value in producing NPK fertilizer. This research method uses quantitative descriptive research methods by collecting secondary data, namely the use of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and ammonia for a period of 1 year. Researchers use multiple regression analysis to determine whether or not there is an influence between the three variables to be studied, then the data is processed and analyzed to determine whether the regression model used is feasible to use before finally calculating the optimal point of NPK fertilizer production. The stages of data optimization in this study are the data collection stage, the data processing stage (descriptive data, parameter estimation, regression model), the data analysis and interpretation stage (F test, t test, IIDN assumption test for determining the optimum point), and the conclusion and suggestion stage. This study concluded that obtaining the optimum point for the amount of NPK fertilizer production can be done by regulating the use of phosphoric acid at 211.91 tons, Sulphuric acid at 844,099 tons, and ammonia at 308,055 tons. Total fertilizer production achieved with the use of optimum parameters amounted to 2085.38 tons.

Authors: Humphries Meghann B. , Gonzalez Maribel A. , Ricklefs Robert E.
Published: November 2023

Abstract: We assessed the phylogeography of the Carib Grackle (Quiscalus lugubris), whose distribution includes eight subspecies in the Lesser Antilles and northern South America. We used the geographic distribution of variation in the mitochondrial genes ATPase 6 and ATPase 8 to assess the demographic history of the species and degree of concordance between phylogenetic relationships and subspecies assignments. We recovered a single haplotype in Guyana and French Guiana, which was shared by some samples from Trinidad, but Trinidad also hosts a second mitochondrial clade separated by 2.9% sequence divergence. Similarly, Venezuela is home to two sympatric clades separated by 3.6% divergence. Genetic relationships of island populations appeared largely discordant with currently described subspecies.

Resumen: Filogeografía y demografía histórica de Quiscalus lugubris—Evaluamos la filogeografía de Quiscalus lugubris, cuya distribución incluye ocho subespecies en las Antillas Menores y el norte de Sudamérica. Utilizamos la distribución geográfica de la variación en los genes mitocondriales ATPasa 6 y ATPasa 8 para evaluar la historia demográfica de la especie y el grado de concordancia entre las relaciones filogenéticas y las asignaciones de subespecies. Recuperamos un solo haplotipo en Guyana y Guyana Francesa, que fue compartido por algunas muestras de Trinidad. Trinidad también alberga un segundo clado mitocondrial separado por una divergencia secuencial del 2,9%. De manera similar, Venezuela alberga dos clados simpátricos separados por un 3,6% de divergencia. Las relaciones genéticas de las poblaciones de las islas fueron discordantes con las subespecies actualmente descritas.

Impact of China’s outward direct investment on economic efficiency
Authors: Chan Sok Gee , Har Wai Mun , Kanapathy Kanagi
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the impact of China’s Outward Direct Investment (ODI) on the world economy in terms of economic efficiency and aims to provide insight for the host economies in strategizing their investment policies. This study employs Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) to estimate the impact of China’s ODI on the world for both developed and developing economies. The research encompassed a total of 156 nations for the period spanning from 2009 to 2017. The findings indicate that there is a 13.3% disparity in efficiency between industrialized and developing countries. The results further reveal that the China’s ODI to developing countries contributes to the reduction of inefficiency in both the Cobb-Douglass and Trans log models. Results for developed countries are mixed, with a significant contribution to inefficiency reduction in the Cobb-Douglass model only. Findings in this paper rebuke the general acceptance that ODI is good in everything for the host countries. Instead, ODI will be more beneficial to the host countries to reduce inefficiency if they are at a lower level of development than the home countries. The findings recommend China’s ODI to developing countries, while developed countries may still reap positive spillovers on efficiency with careful selection of the type of ODI from China to match their national economic development agenda.

Published: November 2023

This article discusses the relationship between political configuration and the characteristics of judicial power exercised by the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court in Indonesia. In writing this article, a normative approach is used in the form of legal history and comparative law. There is a very close relationship between political configuration and the characteristics of judicial power in Indonesia so that it can influence judicial power in Indonesia. The form of political configuration intervention in judicial power is not implementing the decisions of the judiciary and replacing judges in the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court in Indonesia. This causes the level of public (society) trust in judicial power and law in Indonesia to decline drastically and of course, cannot realize social justice in Indonesia.
Spatial Analysis of Mycobacterium Ulcerans-Hosting Water Bug Critical Zones in the Amansie West District of Ghana
Authors: Saah Doris , Osei Jeff Dacosta , Damoah-Afari Peter
Published: November 2023

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognized Buruli ulcer (BU), a skin disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU), as the third most prevalent mycobacterial disease in 1998, following tuberculosis and leprosy. In Ghana, there have been over 2000 reported cases in the past decade, with outbreaks in 90 administrative districts, including Amansie West. The mode of transmission remains unclear, but research suggests water bugs may be involved. This study aimed to assess this transmission method by identifying potential water bug habitats using geospatial techniques. Water bugs are found to inhabit freshwater ponds, marshes, slow-moving pools, streams, and mats of vegetation. This study used the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) to locate water bodies and marshy areas, the Atmospherically Resistant Vegetation Index (ARVI) to identify vegetation zones, and Land Surface Temperature (LST) to determine suitable areas for water bugs based on temperature. A spatial multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) pinpointed critical areas for Mycobacterium ulcerans-hosting water bugs, which were mainly located in illegal mining areas due to stagnant wastewater. Notably, 36 communities, including prominent ones like Manso Nkwanta and Pakyi Number 1 and 2, were situated within these critical zones. This study generated a geospatial distribution map highlighting the potential areas for Mycobacterium ulcerans-hosting water bugs in the Amansie West district, crucial for Buruli ulcer transmission. The study recommended improved environmental sanitation in the affected areas to combat this water bug-related health issue.

Authors: Dzida Katarzyna , Zawiślak Grażyna , Jarosz Zbigniew , Pitura Karolina , Neugebauerova Jarmila
Published: November 2023

Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is one of the most popular herbal plants used globally in the food and pharmaceutical industries and as an ornamental plant. It is highly valued for the rich content of active substances, whose amount depends on environmental and anthropogenic factors. The type of fertilizer used is an important determinant of the yield and quality of the herb and the soil environment. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of natural fertilizers (granulated cattle manure and granulated chicken manure) applied at different doses (50, 100, 150, 200 g m−2) on the quantity and quality of the yield of common basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) cultivated in the temperate climate of Lublin Upland. The applied doses of manure had a significant effect on the fresh weight of O. basilicum L. A significant effect of the type and dose of manure on the content of L-ascorbic acid was found. Additionally, the fertilizer dose had a significant effect on the extract content in the analyzed plants. Significantly higher basil yields were achieved in the fertilization variant with 50 g m−2 and 100 g m−2 of the manure. The concentration of essential oil in the plants did not change under the influence of the applied manure dose. The experimental factors did not exert an effect on the content of essential oil with its main component (linalool), total nitrogen, and protein in basil plants. The highest content of linalool (78.22%) in the O. basilicum L. herb was
determined in the variant with chicken manure fertilization at the dose of 150 g m2.
Assessment of environmental performance on farms using FADN: a case study of the Region of Mazowsze and Podlasie
Authors: Syp Alina , Osuch Dariusz , Gębka Anita
Published: November 2023

Agri-environmental Schemes are the main agricultural policy instrument currently available in the European Union to help improve the relationship between agriculture and the environment. The conducted research included the assessment of AES (Agri-environmental Schemes) implementation in the Region of Mazowsze and Podlasie, Poland. This Region is characterized by worse natural, organizational, and production conditions than in other Regions in Poland. Out of the 292 analyzed farms, 146 formed the research sample, while another 146 constituted the control sample. In 2010 and 2014, all analyzed farms kept entries in accounting books under FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network). All farms were classified according to TF8 as fieldcrops, milk, and mixed. For each type of farm, a research and control sample were distinguished. The research sample included farms that participated in the AES, whereas the control sample comprised farms that did not join the program. For each farm from the research sample, the most similar farm was selected in the control group, taking into account its type and location. The conducted study confirmed that the implementation of the AES has a positive effect on the environment, as it results in lower use of synthetic fertilizers, crop protection products, and GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions per ha. However, the research showed that the costs of reduction of GHG emissions are very high. In 2014, the cost of a decrease of 1 Mg CO2 eq amounted to 1,302 PLN on fieldcrop farms, 611 PLN on milk farms, and 1,112 PLN on mixed farms. This is important information for policy makers, as it indicates that, while planning subsequent pro-environmental programs, it is crucial to perform a cost-benefit analysis and an ex ante assessment of the costs of planned activities in relation to the expected environmental effects.
A crise do coronavírus e seus reflexos nos processos de contratações públicas: o poder de fiscalização da sociedade
Authors: Cerbelera Neto Diogo Ramos
Published: November 2023

O presente trabalho visa apontar as mudanças legislativas e seus mecanismos no que concerne a contratação pública de forma direta, isto é, sem procedimento licitatório, com a finalidade de combater a crise do coronavírus no Brasil, de forma célere e eficiente. Visou-se ainda demonstrar algumas hipóteses de   risco que a contratação direta gera, pois em que pese seja necessária, abre margens à corrupção. A importância do trabalho se revela diante do cenário atual causado pela crise pandêmica, bem como para que a comunidade científica e toda a população observem as atitudes dos gestores públicos para o fim de fiscalizar e, posteriormente, apurar as ilegalidades cometidas ensejando a respectiva responsabilização dos detratores do erário público. Sabe-se que os reflexos dessa pandemia na economia serão impactantes e desde já, são muito preocupantes, por isso os princípios da prevenção e precaução revelam-se ainda mais importantes diante de quadros como o da pandemia do coronavírus. Além disso, a sociedade e os operadores do direito possuem o poder (e dever) de atuar ativamente em conjunto das demais instituições de controle, como o Ministério Público e os Tribunais de Contas, exigindo transparência e publicidade de todos os atos administrativos durante a crise, para que o erário público seja protegido e ressarcido. Foi utilizado o método dedutivo e o procedimento metodológico foi o de coleta de dados por meio de técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e consulta de artigos em revistas especializadas, doutrina, análise de textos legais e jurisprudência.

Authors: Firdaus Aras , Suhaidi  , Sunarmi  , Leviza Jelly
Published: November 2023

Objective: Globalization has a great influence on the legal system of a country, including the mining legal system. In Indonesia, Pancasila can be considered the legal basis and the source of all laws. This study aims to analyze Pancasila as a Source of Law to answer the Challenges of Globalization related to Mineral and Coal Mining Laws in Indonesia.   Method: The research method used is doctrinal law. The Statute Approach examines all laws and regulations relating to legal matter. Data was collected by studying literature and conducting direct interviews with informants.   Result: Generally, the legal development of mineral and coal mining in Indonesia is based on Pancasila. Mining activities must be distinct from foreign investment activities. Regarding investment, the principles of international foreign investment conventions are not under Pancasila.   Conclusion: Pancasila, as the nation's basic philosophy, is open without the need to change its fundamental values to be maintained following existing developments. Thus, even though Pancasila may not be in harmony with the legal principles of international investment, as long as the executive, legislative and judicial institutions are based on Pancasila in carrying out their duties, then in the future other ideologies cannot influence Pancasila ideology.

Authors: Awaisheh Sadam Mohammad , Alhasan Tariq Kamal , Kurdi AbedAlhameed Rajeh , Awaisheh Salah Mohammad
Published: November 2023

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to scrutinize the role of administrative law, particularly the administrative judiciary, in safeguarding the environment within the Jordanian legal framework. The study aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which the administrative judiciary exercises oversight over administrative and regulatory authorities and to delineate the legal foundations underpinning administrative liability for environmental damages.
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical underpinning of this study is anchored in the jurisprudential doctrines of administrative law and environmental governance. The study explores the intricate relationship between administrative jurisprudence and ecological stewardship, particularly in Jordan's unique environmental challenges and legal landscape. It posits that the administrative judiciary serves not merely as a procedural instrument but as a substantive agent of ecological governance.
 
Method: The methodology employed is a rigorous legal analysis, incorporating a review of Jordan's statutes, regulations, and judicial decisions relevant to environmental protection. The study also draws upon secondary sources, including scholarly articles and commentaries, to comprehensively understand the subject matter.
 
Result and Conclusion: The study reveals that the administrative judiciary in Jordan plays a pivotal role in environmental protection. It serves a dual function: as a guardian of environmental integrity and an oversight body for administrative regulatory authorities. The study also highlights the adoption of the doctrine of strict liability in the Jordanian legal system, emphasizing its significance in holding the administration accountable for environmental harm.
 
Research Implications: The findings of this study have far-reaching implications for the development of environmental policy and legal frameworks in Jordan. They underscore the need for a more integrated approach harmonizing administrative law principles with environmental governance objectives. This necessitates reevaluating and recalibrating existing legal mechanisms to ensure they align with sustainable development principles and ecological justice.
Originality/Value: The study offers a novel contribution to the existing body of literature on environmental law in Jordan by focusing on the often-overlooked role of the administrative judiciary. It provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in environmental governance and offers a theoretical framework that could serve as a foundation for future research in this domain.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: The authors present a study examining the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2)infections among doctors at the Department and Clinic of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of the MedicalUniversity of Warsaw between 1 March 2020 and 28 February 2021.

Aim: This study focuses on analyzing clinical presentation of coronavirus infections among otorhinolaryngologists asexemplified by the studied group of doctors. The authors verify the thesis that otorhinolaryngologists are at a high risk ofSARS-CoV-2 infection due to the nature of medical services they provide.

Materials and methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a group of infected doctors by providing them witha uniform and anonymous questionnaire pertaining to the clinical data significant for this study.

Results: Out of 30 otorhinolaryngologists employed at the Department and Clinic of Otorhinolaryngology and Head andNeck Surgery of the Medical University of Warsaw, 10 individuals, in whom coronavirus infection was confirmed by a positivePCR test result, were examined in this study. In all 10 cases, self-isolation was introduced. None of the infected individuals were hospitalized or required oxygen therapy. Out of 10 infected doctors, the source of infection remained unknown in 2 cases.In the remaining 8 cases, the causes of infection were directly related to the work performed, including: 3 doctors who contractedthe infection while consulting patients in the admission room, 4 doctors infected through physical contact with patientstreated on the ward who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and 1 doctor who contracted the infection while working in a differenthealthcare institution. No case of infection was confirmed to be related to surgical procedures performed on the ward.

Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection among practicing otorhinolaryngologists is associated with both outpatient and inpatient care.Despite using personal protective equipment, the risk of infection remains high, amounting to over 30% in the examined group.
Cryptotia – a case report and literature review
Authors: Niemczyk-Cieślak Elżbieta , Zawadzka-Głos Lidia
Published: November 2023

Cryptotia is a congenital defect that affects the upper third of the auricular cartilage which is being buried underneath temporal skin; underdevelopment of temporoauricular sulcus is also observed. The problem predominantly affects Asians andis relatively rare among Europeans. In addition to aesthetic flaws, cryptotia impairs the auricular function by preventing wearing glasses, face masks, or hearing aids. The defect is caused by abnormal attachment or function of the intrinsic auricularmuscles which are primarily responsible for the formation of the antihelix. Consequently, two subtypes of the deformity aredistinguished: subtype I, being the most prevalent and associated with abnormalities within the transverse and superiorauricular muscles; and subtype II, associated with abnormalities within the oblique auricular muscles, and leading to minorcartilage deformities. Cryptotia can be treated conservatively in infants of up to six months of age. The treatment consists inexternal corrective braces being applied to achieve excellent aesthetic outcomes. In older children and adults, surgical procedures are the most effective treatment option. Otoplasty as performed in cryptotia reconstruction involves the formation oftemporoauricular sulcus, the coverage of the resulting skin defect on the medial surface of the auricle, and surgical correctionof the deformed cartilage.
Auditory processing disorders in children – diagnosisand management
Authors: Majak Joanna , Senderski Andrzej , Wiskirska-Woźnica Bożena , Śliwińska-Kowalska Mariola
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is a syndrome characterized by impairment of the perception of soundsverbal and non-verbal ones, and weakening cognitive abilities such as auditory attention and auditory memory. This symptoms occur despite correct functioning of the peripheral part of the organ of hearing. Aim: A review of the current literature on diagnostic criteria of APD and its subtypes, clinical symptoms in children, diagnostic procedures and methods and therapeutic interventions. Methods: The study was based on the guidelines of the British Audiological Society (BSA), the guidelines of the American Speech, Language and Hearing Society (ASHA) as well as a literature review in the PubMed database. Results: APD is divided into developmental (without an established cause), acquired (with an established cause) and secondary (a consequence of long-term peripheral hearing loss). Symptoms that indicate the likelihood of APD in schoolaged children include: poor school performance, problems with learning to read and write and understanding speech, difficulties in repeating and remembering information given by hearing and maintaining attention on the spoken word. APD diagnosis should be made by a specialist in audiology and phoniatrics based on a full battery of tests and consultations with a speech therapist, psychologist and pedagogue. The set of behavioral diagnostic tests should include both verbal and non-verbal tests, from at least three groups of tests: dichotic (e.g. dichotic digit test; DDT), evaluating temporal aspects of hearing (e.g. Frequency Pattern Test; FPT and Duration Pattern Test; DPT ) and low redundancy speech tests. The diagnosis can be made when the child is at least 7 years old, the result is below the norm in at least two tests evaluating different auditory processes and the child has previous been excluded from intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders. The therapeutic procedure is based on active auditory training, specific for the deficit shown in the tests. It is important to improve the acoustic environment at school (FM systems) and to treat comorbidities. Conclusions: Diagnostics and therapy of APD requires a highly qualified team of specialists and should be carried out in centers specially prepared for this purpose.
Cancer and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies –association of autoantibodies with carcinogenesis
Authors: Gajda Aleksandra , Fischer Katarzyna
Published: November 2023

The relationship between cancer development in the course of idiopathic inflammatorymyopathies (IIM) has already been noticed at the beginning of the 20th century. However, theunderlying mechanisms remain not fully understood. Risk factors for carcinogenesis in patientswith IIM include male sex, older age, and the presence of specific subtypes of inflammatorymyopathies and clinical manifestations, including dermatomyositis, dysphagia, severe skinchanges, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, acute disease onset and immunosuppressive therapyresistance. The presence of certain autoantibodies in the serum of patients with IIM is a factorof considerable importance in the stratification of cancer risk. Anti-TIF1γ autoantibodies, which might be present in even 38-80% of cancer cases in adult IIM patients, are antibodies with a wellstudiedrelationship with carcinogenesis. The relationship of other antibodies found in IIM withthe risk of carcinogenesis is still discussed. This group includes anti-NXP2, anti-HMGCR, anti-SAE1 and anti-Mi2 antibodies. Due to the contrary reports on the role of these antibodies incancer development and their relatively low prevalence in IIM, the unambiguous classificationas risk factors requires further research in larger study groups. The potential autoantibodiesutility in cancer screening in IIM patients could help detect cancer early, improving prognosisand long-term survival.
