Authors: Revina Angelia , Indah Nur Rochimah Haris Annisari
Published: August 2024

Generation z in Indonesia has a high interest in joining online communities or groups. Through online communities, Generation Z can interact via digital media or directly with people who have similar interests. So, it will be easier for them to show their identity. However, there are several irresponsible parties who take advantage of Generation Z's enthusiasm by exploiting their creative ideas. In this way, there is a potential that the identity that one wants to show and develop cannot be achieved. Therefore, it is important for a community to support generation z in forming the identity that its members want. This research aims to analyze the communication identity of Generation Z who are members of the Novo Club online community. The research method used is a qualitative approach using interviews and observation as data collection methods. The research results show that the communication identity that Novo Club members want to show is very diverse, including being an innovator, and in accordance with the positive characteristics of Generation Z. They show their identity through social media or in person, through their style of speaking and dressing.

Authors: Dragicević Miroslav
Published: August 2024

The goal of this research is to develop appropriate machine learning models for predicting voltage values on the 400 kV side of the grid. The data used for training the models include two years of historical voltage data, along with hydrometeorological variables, with temperature being the most significant factor, supported by meteorological yearbooks. Additional input data include air humidity, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, and the appearance of ice on power lines. The prediction of voltage values aims to forecast the engagement of static reactive reserves, with a sampling period of 10 minutes (min/max/avg). This data enables annual planning of energy imports and maintenance periods, as well as daily planning of capacity engagement. The next step in the research is the forecast of dynamic reactive reserves, where samples with a frequency of one second and more frequent samples would be used for model training.
Integration of renewable energy sources, battery energy storage and controlled consumption into the virtual power plant of one production-consumption zone
Authors: Pavlović Jelena
Published: August 2024

The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of integrating renewable energy sources (RES) with variable primary resource on existing power sources within a production-consumption area. Our methodology is based on simulation testing using a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) laboratory setup. The model includes two turbo units connected to 110 kV busbars, with a wind power plant providing approximately 20% of the traditional power plant's capacity connected in parallel. We utilized a typical power variation diagram of the wind turbine to analyze the effect on voltage and generated reactive power of the traditional power plant. Both power plants are equipped with a standard virtual power plant controller, and we accounted for typical numerical power variations across the wind farm. Additionally, we considered a typical daily voltage variation diagram at the connection point to the 110 kV grid. Our analysis results indicate how variations in energy production from RES influence voltage and reactive power variations at the connection point. These findings are crucial for the optimal integration of RES, battery energy storage, and controlled consumption into a virtual power plant.

The middle Eastern policy of Yugoslavia at the end of 1973 and during the first half of 1974
Authors: Marković Nikola
Published: August 2024

This article discusses the relationship between Yugoslavia and events in the Middle East from the end of the Yom Kippur War until the agreement between Syria and Israel at the end of May 1974. At the beginning of November 1973, the goals for further Yugoslav action were defined, focusing on the joint action of non-aligned states with the Soviet Union to defend the positions of the Arabs. The details of the joint Middle East policy were agreed upon during Tito's visit to Kiev in mid-November 1973 and his meeting with Soviet leader Brezhnev. Due to strained relations during the war, Tito wrote to US President Nixon to improve relations, leading to the American government sending a representative to Belgrade. The Yugoslavs positively evaluated the conclusion of the agreement between Egypt and Israel in mid-January 1974, and managed deals on the reconstruction of the destroyed areas with the governments in Cairo and Damascus. During a visit to Damascus, Tito influenced Assad to accept the Geneva negotiations proposed by Kissinger. The American demand that the calculation of oil prices must be defined by the most developed countries. This caused Tito's trip to India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Syria, stronger appearance of the non-aligned mouvement and the convening of the Coordination Bureau in Algeria in March 1973. The adoption of the new economic program, which was accepted at the sixth special session of the UN General Assembly in April 1974, the crisis about border line in West Slovenia near Trieste and the actions of the Non-Aligned Movement against the interests of the USA, violated the relations between Belgrade and Washington. Although both sides needed to normalize relations, in the long term, the USA began planning actions against the unity of the non-aligned states and the survival of Yugoslavia as a country.
The impact of armed conflicts on the spread of infectious diseases
Authors: Obrenović Mile
Published: August 2024

Infectious diseases and armed conflicts represent two separate global security threats that endanger entire world population. The problem is that they are most often observed and analysed completely separately, without determining their interconnectedness and the way in which one threat influences the other. Hence, the subject of this paper is the analysis of their correlation, particularly one aspect of that relation that being the determination of the way in which armed conflicts influence the spread of infectious diseases. The paper is based on the assumption that the influence of armed conflicts on the spread of infectious diseases has decreased over the time. The question is whether armed conflicts used to be or still are the main catalyst for the spread of infectious diseases. Examination of literature yielded a conclusion that over the time, concurrently with ever greater interdependence of different parts of the world, the influence of armed conflicts on the spread of infectious diseases decreased. Unlike previous periods, when armed conflicts used to be major catalysts for the spread of these diseases, in 21st century, their influence has not disappeared, but it has been marginalised to a great degree. Thus the gradual process of globalisation has contributed to ever more frequent and intensive movement of people worldwide, which is favourable for fast and easy spreading of infectious diseases, drastically reducing the influence of armed conflicts on their spreading.

Published: August 2024

Background/Aims: Duodenal invasion (DI) is a risk factor for early recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-guided biliary drainage (ERCP-BD). Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) may reduce early RBO in cases of asymptomatic DI, even when ERCP is possible.Methods: We enrolled 56 patients with pancreatic cancer and asymptomatic DI who underwent EUS-HGS (n=25) or ERCP-BD (n=31). Technical and clinical success, early (<3 months) and overall RBO rates, time to RBO (TRBO), and adverse events were compared between the EUS-HGS and ERCP-BD groups. Risk factors for early RBO were also evaluated.Results: Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. Both procedures demonstrated 100% technical and clinical success rates, with a similar incidence of adverse events (48% vs. 39%, p=0.59). While the median TRBO was comparable (5.7 vs. 8.8 months, p=0.60), EUS-HGS was associated with a lower incidence of early RBO compared to ERCP-BD (8% vs. 29%, p=0.09). The major causes of early RBO in ERCP-BD were sludge and food impaction, rarely occurring in EUS-HGS. EUS-HGS was potentially reduced early RBO (odds ratio, 0.32; p=0.07).Conclusions: EUS-HGS can be a viable option for treating pancreatic cancer with asymptomatic DI.

In carrying out weddings, the Batanghari people carry out ceremonies according to traditions inherited from generation to generation from their ancestors, even though the majority of the Batanghari people adhere to the Islamic religion. However, in the implementation of wedding ceremonies, some traditions are still considered inconsistent with Islamic teachings, which in turn becomes a problem, namely that customs/traditions take priority over the Shari'a. As a religious society and the majority adhere to the Islamic religion, the values that dominate the wedding ceremony procession should be the Islamic teachings that they adhere to. These concepts will be researched about the traditions of the Batanghari community and Islamic teachings, especially regarding the process of traditional ceremonies at weddings. The method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this research are: (1) The process of implementing customs that apply in marriages in the people of Batanghari Regency is carried out comprehensively and systematically in nine series, the sequence of which includes caring for single children and girls, choosing a mate, negotiation period, handing over customary delivery. , the wedding ceremony, the day of anchoring the lek, the handover between the bride and groom, the teaching and reprimanding of the bride's sapo, and the iwa. (2) The philosophical basis of the existence of marriage customs and their implementation as a crystallization of the values upheld by the people of Batanghari Regency emerged due to several factors, namely the existence of harmony between customs and Islamic law, the formation of a community which supports the Jambi customary system, the role of LAM. (3) The perspective of Islamic law regarding the activities that take place in the marriage customs of the people of Batanghari Regency is in harmony with Islamic values. However, minor specific aspects in particular series experience expansion and even conflict with Islamic law.

Internal Drivers of Organizational Sustainability: An Exploration of Green Innovation
Authors: Yang Xialin , Lu Guihua
Published: August 2024

Background and Aims: Global environmental concerns have garnered widespread attention amidst profound shifts in the international economy, prompting a convergence towards sustainable development. Despite the imperative for economic growth, enterprises face escalating challenges in reconciling economic expansion with environmental stewardship. This study focuses on corporate green innovation as a strategic imperative, aiming to elucidate pathways for companies to achieve sustainable development and competitive advantages in the global marketplace.
Methodology: Past research predominantly delves into economic ramifications and external stimuli such as environmental regulations, yet scant attention has been devoted to exploring the internal drivers propelling proactive green innovation within enterprises. To address this gap, this study establishes an internal driving model of corporate green innovation behavior, delving into the internal factors and mechanisms shaping such initiatives. Utilizing data from listed companies spanning 2015 to 2020, this paper adopts a micro-level research approach to analyze the impact of corporate characteristics—including size, ownership nature, and industry—on green innovation behavior. Moreover, it investigates whether internal driving factors moderate these relationships.
Results: The findings reveal that enterprises' motivations to evade environmental penalties, attain environmental accolades, and garner political favor for state-owned enterprise executives significantly promote green innovation behavior. Notably, state-owned enterprises exhibit a stronger positive impact from these motivations compared to non-state-owned counterparts. Additionally, larger enterprises demonstrate heightened motivations to evade environmental penalties and pursue environmental recognition, particularly pronounced in heavily polluting industries. However, further research is warranted to elucidate the impact of political promotion motivations among state-owned enterprise executives.
Conclusion: These findings contribute to theoretical advancements in understanding the determinants of green innovation behavior, offering valuable insights for enhancing government management efficiency, corporate environmental governance, and societal appreciation of corporate green innovation initiatives.

Research Design and Methodology: The research employs a qualitative approach with a systematic literature review to analyze the existing studies on SEA, mainly focusing on SMEs in emerging markets. The study also examines the role of economic instability and regulatory gaps in shaping SEA practices.
Findings and Discussion: The findings reveal that SMEs in emerging markets face significant challenges in implementing SEA due to economic instability, limited resources, and inadequate regulatory support. On the other hand, multinational companies need more harmonized global reporting standards, which complicates the consistency and comparability of sustainability reporting across borders. The study highlights the need for tailored support mechanisms for SMEs and the importance of advocating for global reporting standardization.
Implications: The study's implications are twofold: it contributes to the academic discourse by addressing underexplored areas in SEA research and offers practical insights for policymakers and business leaders to enhance the adoption of SEA practices. The study also underscores the importance of developing consistent sustainability reporting frameworks to promote transparency and accountability in global business practices.

Introduction Addressing depression requires a comprehensive approach. Investigating the relationship between ruminative thought and mindfulness in patients with major depressive disorder is crucial. 
Objective This study aimed to investigate the correlation between ruminative thoughts and mindfulness in patients with major depressive disorder in the community. 
Design A cross-sectional study 
Methodology Participants included 75 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder in the maintenance phase of antidepressant therapy, purposively selected from a psychiatric hospital and community hospitals in a northeastern province of Thailand. Data were collected using questionnaires consisting of demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as assessments using Beck’s Depression Inventory, Ruminative Response Scale, and Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. 
Results The majority of participants were female, with an average age of 51.08 years (SD = 15.46). Depressive symptoms over the past two weeks were classified as minimal (33.3%), mild-moderate (25.3%), moderately severe (28.0%), and severe (13.3%). The results indicated a significant positive correlation between depression severity and overall ruminative thought and its dimensions (r = .562, p<.001). Additionally, there were significant positive correlations between depression severity and overall and all dimensions of ruminative thoughts (brooding, reflection, and depression-related items) (r = .441, .483, .592, p<.001, respectively). Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was found between ruminative thoughts and mindfulness (r = -.292, p = .012). However, no correlation was found between depression and mindfulness. 
Recommendation Patients with major depressive disorder undergoing antidepressant treatment typically have high ruminative thoughts. The results of this study provide basic information for predictive research that could lead to the development of community-based therapeutic programs for patients with depression, aimed at reducing ruminative thoughts and depression, resulting in preventing recurrent depression.

Penelitian ini memiliki urgensi untuk mengeksplorasi penggunaan gaya bahasa dengan mengangkat perspektif feminisme dalam novel Hati Suhita karya Khilma Anis. Hati Suhita merupakan karya sastra kontemporer Indonesia yang tidak hanya mengisahkan kehidupan perempuan dalam bingkai budaya dan agama, tetapi juga menyoroti isu-isu feminis yang relevan dengan konteks sosial modern. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri pesan-pesan feminisme melalui gaya bahasa dalam novel. Dalam novel ini, Khilma Anis menggunakan berbagai elemen gaya bahasa seperti metafora, simile, ironi, dan simbolisme untuk memperkuat narasi feminisnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis tekstual untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis penggunaan elemen-elemen tersebut serta bagaimana mereka berfungsi dalam menyampaikan pesan feminis. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan metafora dan simbolisme dalam Hati Suhita dapat membantu memperdalam pemahaman pembaca tentang perjuangan perempuan dalam menghadapi patriarki dan norma-norma sosial yang restriktif. Misalnya, penggunaan metafora terkait alam dan elemen spiritual yang menggambarkan kompleksitas emosi dan kekuatan batin perempuan. Selain itu, ironi sering digunakan untuk mengkritik ketidakadilan gender dan ekspektasi sosial yang tidak adil terhadap perempuan. Simile digunakan untuk menggambarkan perbandingan yang kuat antara kondisi perempuan dalam novel dan situasi yang dihadapi perempuan dalam kehidupan nyata.
