Authors: Nur Chairin Hanifa Deasy , Riansyah Novita Angelia
Published: October 2024

Background: Heart failure is a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood to the tissues to meet the body's metabolic needs. Heart failure has a variety of therapies and drug options available, so careful consideration is needed in selecting drugs for heart failure patients. Evaluation is carried out to identify problems with the accuracy of drug use and dosage accuracy. The many types of drugs available present its their problems in the use of drugs, especially in the selection and use of drugs that are effective, correct, and safe. Inappropriate and rational use of drugs can increase morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To determine the accuracy of drugs and heart drug dosages in patients with heart failure at the inpatient installation of Samarinda Medika Citra Hospital. Material and Methods: This research is a descriptive observational study with retrospective data collection in 2022. The sample consisted of all adult heart failure inpatients who met the inclusion criteria of 60 patients. Results: The results of the study showed that out of 60 patients, the accuracy of therapy included 93% of the correct drug and 88% of the correct dose. The heart failure drugs used were furosemide (39%), spironolactone (19%), digoxin (18%), candesartan (15%), captopril (4%), bisoprolol (3%), and lisinopril (2%). Conclusions: From the research results, it was found that 93% of the drug accuracy and 88% of the drug dose accuracy in heart failure patients.
Politics of collective movements in post-socialisms
Authors: olia sosnovskaya
Published: October 2024

The research addresses collective movements and their exhaustion (bodily and political) in post-socialisms, focusing on choreographies of protest actions, socialist mass celebrations and raves, and the relation between festive and the political.
The project departs from archival materials on the socialist mass celebrations and the experience of the 2020-21 anti-governmental uprising in Belarus, re-addressing it in the context of the current Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, which involves Belarusian territories and infrastructures, and of the anti-war resistance. It analyses specific collective choreographies (state parades, protest marches and gatherings, raves, various acts of disruptions and sabotage) and traces the transformations of “the political” and political movement in post-socialisms, while approaching the notion of post-socialism critically (in its equating different historical experiences and being always bound to the past on one hand, or seen as non-linear and non-unified on the other).
The project tackles those issues through the concept of a movement score (movement notation), used in dance studies to graphically record, analyze, preserve (archive) and transmit (further perform) dance and movement. In this research, a movement score is seen as any kind of graphic transcript of movement (including text) that intersects multiple temporalities of its enactment, and is used as a tool to critically approach the temporality of political action and to question the linear time of revolutionary event.

Authors: Granada Echeverri Mauricio , Gallego Rendón Ramón A. , Escobar Zuluaga Antonio H.
Published: October 2024

El problema de flujo de carga es el aspecto central del análisis de sistemas eléctricos de potencia y su formulación y solución es una tarea obligatoria en los estudios de planeamiento a largo plazo de sistemas eléctricos, en los estudios de seguridad (confiabilidad, ´ contingencias, cortocircuito, estabilidad) y en los estudios que se realizan de manera permanente para la programación de la operación´ diaria de un sistema eléctrico y para su control. La idea del problema de flujo de potencia optimo (FPO) fue introducida a principios de la década de los 60 como una extensión del problema de despacho económico convencional (DEC). Con la llegada del FPO se marcó el fin del periodo clásico de DEC, el cual se desarrolló a lo largo de treinta a nos usando el método de igual ´ costo incremental. Aunque realmente el DEC y el FPO son ambos problemas de optimización, el primero sólo considera la generación de potencia activa y representa la red eléctrica a través de simples restricciones de igualdad. En el FPO ciertas variables controlables (controles activos y/o reactivos) son ajustadas para minimizar una función objetivo predefinida mientras se satisfacen límites operativos (restricciones de desigualdad) y físicos (restricciones de igualdad) de un sistema eléctrico de potencia (SEP) bajo condiciones de operación estática.

Published: October 2024

With China’s goal of achieving "carbon peak and neutrality”, green innovation has become an inevitable choice to accomplish the dual objective of ecological protection and economic growth. The objective of this study is to examine whether green innovation can contribute to enhancing firm performance. Specifically, this study empirically investigates the relationship between green innovation and firm performance by analyzing a sample of listed firms in China's A-share power industry from 2009 to 2022. By using panel fixed effect regression, this study found that green innovation markedly and positively enhances the firm's current performance. Furthermore, this paper tested the effect of green innovation on the firm's future performance, which is positive and greater than the effect on the current performance. Through data support spanning 14 years, this study verifies the theoretical hypothesis that green innovation can substantially enhance firm performance in the power industry. This not only deepens the understanding of how green innovation affects firm performance but also offers empirical evidence to support the further implementation and advancement of green innovation within the power industry. This study only uses a sample of a single industry, so the conclusions of this study do not have explanatory power for firms in other industries.

Published: October 2024

This research delves into the intricate dynamics of the Malaysian housing market. Due to the issue of constantly high and expensive house prices, the study aims to integrate the possible macroeconomic causes as well as the integrity issue by focusing on three vital independent variables: Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and Corruption Index (CRP). The research uses quantitative methods, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), to reveal nuanced correlations between these economic variables and house prices in Malaysia. The intriguing findings show that both FDI and CRP significantly influence house prices positively, aligning with existing literature. However, the unexpectedly insignificant correlation between GDP and house prices suggests a potential gap in understanding, adding a layer of intrigue to the research. These results and significant findings offer valuable insights for decision-makers and emphasize the importance of ongoing research to better grasp the complex factors shaping housing markets in different economic situations.

Evidence-based psychosocial interventions can enhance communication and social abilities, leading to a favorable effect on the overall welfare and quality of life for individuals with autism and those who care for them. Despite the importance of volunteers in supporting individuals with autism and their families, there is limited research on the factors influencing individuals' decisions to participate in autism-related volunteer work. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the various factors that shape individuals' intentions to participate in volunteer activities related to autism. A cross-sectional study design with a purposive sampling technique was conducted. Data obtained from a survey questionnaire polled ninety-nine university students’ attitudes regarding the factors influencing their participatory intention in autism volunteer work. Descriptive statistics show that the participation intention level among university students was high (M=4.47, SD=0.52). There was a statistically significant strong and moderate relationship between attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy and religiosity toward participation intention. The regression analysis revealed that subjective norms, perceived behavior control and religiosity affected participatory intention. This study provided practical implications for designing and implementing effective interventions and programs to recruit and retain volunteers, as well as to promote positive social change and inclusion for people with autism.

Authors: Kader Jailani Sri Fatiany Abdul , Mat Ali Syukrina Alini , Yunus Noorain Mohamad , Mozie Noorizan Mohamad
Published: October 2024

During the pandemic, many sectors, including education, were affected.  The shift from traditional to online learning is an opening for students and educators to explore online learning.  Students may connect from anywhere at any time through this learning mode. This sudden shift has impacted the learning behavior of students to a large extent. People can access information anytime and anywhere that is typically available only through a traditional classroom.  This study adopts the Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM) theory as the theoretical framework to understand how push, pull, and mooring factors affect students' shift from offline to online learning. A survey was used as the main instrument in this study. A quantitative approach was utilized to achieve the stated research objectives. The questionnaires were distributed among undergraduate students in public and private schools in Malaysia through convenience sampling techniques. The minimal 77 sample size has been determined by utilizing G*Power software. 117 responses were collected from the questionnaires that met the minimum required sample size for this study.  The findings emphasize that push and pull factors are essential to student learning.   However, the mooring factor does not affect the student's switching behavior.  The study sheds light on capturing more essential measures in the theoretical development of switching behavior.

Published: October 2024

The mental health of university students is a major concern due to the various stressors they face, including academic pressures, social dynamics, and personal development challenges. Previous studies have shown that gender differences significantly impact how students perceive and express psychological distress. This study aimed to identify these differences in the context of academic stress, social support, self-esteem, academic motivation, and family functioning, and their association with psychological distress. The study involved 2206 medical students in a cross-sectional study at a medical university in Ningxia, western China. The data analysis revealed significant gender differences in scores for academic stress, social support, and academic motivation. Academic stress, social support, and family functioning were found to be significantly associated with psychological distress for both genders. However, academic motivation was found to significantly influence psychological distress only among male students, while self-esteem had an impact on female students. These findings highlight the need for tailored mental health services in universities to address gender-specific needs, such as providing counseling services that focus on coping with academic stress and strengthening social and familial support networks to improve student well-being.

Published: October 2024

The transition to a hydrogen economy is vital for achieving sustainable transport in Malaysia, particularly in mitigating the environmental impact of heavy-duty mobility. This paper proposes a preliminary methodological framework to evaluate hydrogen's potential as a transformative solution for decarbonizing the transportation sector, focusing on key areas such as hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and vehicle integration, with an emphasis on green hydrogen from renewable sources. Our assessment reveals the significant potential of hydrogen to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants, positioning it as a viable alternative to fossil fuels and battery-electric vehicles, especially in heavy-duty applications. The study assesses the technological feasibility, economic viability, and environmental benefits of adopting hydrogen in Malaysia, considering current infrastructure, production capabilities, and regulatory frameworks. Key challenges identified include the high costs of hydrogen production and infrastructure, technological barriers in storage and vehicle integration, and gaps in policy and market readiness. To address these, we propose strategic recommendations for stakeholders, highlighting the need for government support, public-private partnerships, and international collaborations. This framework aims to guide Malaysia’s transition to a hydrogen-powered transport sector, aligning with the nation’s sustainability and energy security goals while positioning Malaysia as a leader in hydrogen technology in Southeast Asia.

Published: October 2024

Employee retention is crucial for organizational success, especially in dynamic fields like Digital, Technology, and Innovation. This correlational study investigated factors influencing employee retention within the DTI department of a Malaysian GLC, guided by Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory. The study examined the relationship between employee retention (dependent variable) and compensation & benefits, work-life balance, career growth opportunities, and training & development (independent variables). Data was collected from a diverse sample of DTI employees using a comprehensive survey and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29. The findings revealed no significant relationship between compensation & benefits, work-life balance, or career growth opportunities and employee retention. However, a significant positive relationship was found between training & development and employee retention. This study provides insights into the unique factors affecting retention in DTI departments and offers practical recommendations for creating a supportive work environment that enhances employee retention. Specifically, the study highlights the importance of robust training and development programs in fostering employee satisfaction, skills development, and ultimately, higher retention rates.
Strengthening psychological resilience: The effectiveness of autogenic training of community pharmacists
Authors: Jocic Dragana
Published: October 2024

Background/Aim. Psychological resilience is essential for healthcare professionals like community pharmacists. It enables them to navigate daily challenges effectively. Autogenic training (AT) has emerged as a promising psychological technique for enhancing resilience and reducing stress in this population. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of AT on resilience among community pharmacists. Methods. The study recruited licensed pharmacists from community pharmacies. Participants received information about the aims and procedures of the research. Resilience was assessed using a scale that measured five domains: Confidence, Agility, Coping with Stress, Interpersonal Relationships, and Developmental Thinking. Using a controlled trial design, participants were randomly divided into two experimental groups, which underwent AT, and a control group, which did not undergo AT. Statistical analyses, including the Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, were conducted to analyze the data. Results. Participants who underwent AT showed statistically significant improvements in resilience compared to the control group, particularly in the domains of Confidence, Coping with Stress, and Interpersonal Relationships. Furthermore, a notable shift towards higher resilience categories was observed in the experimental groups after the intervention. Conclusion. AT appears promising as an intervention to enhance resilience and reduce stress among community pharmacists. Integrating AT into pharmacist education and practice guidelines could significantly affect pharmacist welfare and patient care outcomes.
Effects of adopting preventive drug lists on medication costs and disparities by income over 2 years: a Natural Experiment for Translation in Diabetes (NEXT-D) Study
Authors: Y. Lu Christine , Argetsinger Stephanie , Lakoma Matthew , Zhang Fang , Frank Wharam J. , Ross-Degnan Dennis
Published: October 2024

Objective: Examine the association between Preventive Drug Lists (PDLs) and changes in medication costs among patients with diabetes insured in commercial health plans over two follow-up years.

Research Design and Methods: Quasi-experimental study using Optum’s de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart Database (01/2003-12/2017). The intervention group included 5582 patients with diabetes age 12-64 years switched by employers to PDL coverage; the control group included 5582 matched patients whose employers offered no PDL. Outcomes included out-of-pocket costs, standardized costs, and 30-day fills for all medications because PDL-associated savings could be used to pay for medicines in other classes and for five therapeutic classes covered by the PDLs (oral diabetic medications, insulins, test strips, antihypertensive drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs).

Results: Pre-to-post out-of-pocket spending for all medications declined by 29.7% in follow-up year 2 (95% CI: -36.0%, -23.4%) among PDL members relative to controls. Higher-income and lower-income PDL members experienced significant reductions in out-of-pocket spending for all medications in year 2 (30%), and for key therapeutic classes (range -23% to -67%). We found significant increases in utilization of key therapeutic classes in the overall population (range 8-15%), and in higher-income and lower-income PDL members (range 9-50%).

Conclusions: PDLs offer an effective strategy for employers and insurers to lower member cost-sharing and encourage increased use of important medications to prevent or manage chronic illnesses. For patients with diabetes, especially those with lower incomes, PDL coverage resulted in substantial and persistent reductions in out-of-pocket medication costs, medication use increases, and some increased use of more expensive products.

”Jeg har brugt en fucking måned på den her karakter!” Om legens funktioner i et fritidspædagogisk live-rollespil
Authors: Odgaard Ane Bjerre , Knudsen Annette , Brunsgaard Martin Helt
Published: October 2024

Denne artikel bygger på fire måneders feltarbejde i det fritidspædagogiske tilbud Lyng Rollespil; et liverollespil, som gennem 20 år på ugentlig basis har udfoldet sig på udearealerne omkring en fritidsklub ved en dansk folkeskole. Hver torsdag aften mødes ca. 100–150 deltagere her; primært børn og unge mellem 10 og 18 år, men også en stor gruppe frivillige over 18 år samt fire fritidspædagoger, som har en del af deres ansættelse her. På baggrund af observationsnoter, fotos og interviews og med teoretisk afsæt i sociokulturelle og nymaterialistiske perspektiver belyses spillet som en slags socio-materielt sammenfiltret væsen. Et væsen, som konstitueres dynamisk og kreativt af deltagerne gennem handlinger, artefakter, steder, stemninger og regelstrukturer. Det belyses, hvordan deltagernes praksisser nærer, udvikler og transformerer dette sammenfiltrede væsen, herunder sikrer det imod opløsning og sammenbrud. Artiklen zoomer ind på en specifik handlingstråd, nemlig en gruppe spilleres intensive foretagsomhed, som, over et par måneder, kulminerer i et risikofyldt shamanritual med det formål at fremmane en specifik karakter, som ellers ikke havde været en del af spillet i flere år. Det synliggøres herigennem, hvordan både legen og pædagogikken tjener til at nære og tøjle Spillet som væsen.
English abstract
“I’ve Spent a Fucking Month on This Character!” On the Functions of Play in the Live-Action Role-Play Activities of an Afterschool Club
This paper builds on four months of field work in the afterschool pedagogical initiative “Lyng Rollespil”: a live action role-play that unfolds on the outdoor premises of an afterschool club at a Danish state school. Every Thursday evening, approximately 100–150 participants meet here: children and young people between the ages of 10 and 18, but also volunteers over the age of 18 and four social educators who are employed here. Based on observation notes, photos, and interviews, and with a theoretical basis in sociocultural and new materialist perspectives, the role-play is illuminated as a kind of socio-materially entangled creature, a creature that is dynamically and creatively constituted by the participants through actions, artifacts, places, moods, and rule structures. The paper shows how the participants’ practices nourish, develop, and transform this entangled creature, defending it against dissolution or collapse. We zoom in on a specific thread of action: a group of players’ intensive endeavor which, over a period of two months, culminates in a risky shaman ritual with the purpose of evoking a specific character that has been absent for several years. This case makes visible how the role-play as creature is nourished and restrained by both play and pedagogy.

There has been a flourishing of interest in recent years in the positive contribution of play and playfulness to the everyday lives of children and young people, as well as to their life at school and as students.
This special issue of the Nordic Journal of Pedagogy & Critique on Nordic perspectives on play and playful approaches to pedagogy, teaching and learning will insist on looking at the multifaceted nature of play and playfulness, at the fact that play and playfulness come in a variety of shapes and forms and insist that we take an interest in all this variety. The multifacetedness of play and playfulness draws our attention to the details, to the empirical evidence, to the diversity of theoretical approaches to play and, above all, it allows us to demonstrate the importance of never stopping talking about play and playfulness – now or in the future.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionThe Canadian Institute of Health Information's (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) contains standardised administrative data on all hospitalisations in Canada, excluding Quebec.
ObjectivesWe aimed to validate preterm birth related perinatal and neonatal data in DAD by assessing its accuracy against the reference standard of the Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN) database.
MethodsWe linked birth hospitalization data between the DAD and CNN databases for all neonates born $<$33 weeks gestational age (GA) admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Winnipeg, Canada, between 2010 and 2022. A comprehensive list of maternal and neonatal variables relevant to preterm birth was chosen \textit{a priori} for validation. For categorical variables, we measured correlation using Cohen's weighted kappa (k) and for continuous variables, we measured agreement using Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (LCCC).
Results2084 neonates were included (mean GA 29.4 ± 2.4 weeks; birth weight 1430 ± 461g). Baseline continuous maternal and neonatal variables showed excellent accuracy in DAD [Maternal age: LCCC = 0.99 (0.99, 0.99); GA: LCCC = 0.95 (0.95, 0.96); birth weight: LCCC = 0.97 (0.96, 0.97); sex: k = 0.99 (0.98-0.99)]. In contrast, the accuracy of the maternal baseline categorical variables and neonatal outcomes and interventions ranged from very good to poor [e.g., Caesarean section: k = 0.91 (0.89-0.93), pre-gestational diabetes: k = 0.04 (0.03-0.05), neonatal sepsis: k = 0.37 (0.31-0.42), bronchopulmonary dysplasia: k = 0.26 (0.19-0.33), neonatal laparotomy: k = 0.55 (0.43-067)].
ConclusionNeonatal variables such as gestational age and birth weight had high accuracy in DAD, while the accuracy of maternal and neonatal morbidities and interventions were variable, with some being poor. Reasons for the inaccuracy of these variables should be identified and measures taken to improve them.

Objective: To analyze quality of life (QoL) and associated factors in individuals after hospitalization due to COVID-19. Method: Cross-sectional study of patients hospitalized for COVID-19. The WHOQOL-BREF instrument was used for QOL analysis. A multiple linear regression model was used to evaluate the QOL of the stakeholders. Results: The highest mean QOL was observed in the social relationships domain (14.97 ± 3.43), followed by the psychological (14.53 ± 2.07), environmental (14.20 ± 2.49) and physical domains (12.75 ± 2.10). For each additional year of age, there was an increase of 0.44 points in the physical domain, 0.06 in the social relationship domain and 0.49 in the environmental domain. Individuals earning up to 2 times the minimum wage had a reduction of 1.60 points in the environmental domain; retired or a pensioner had a reduction of 1.84 points in the physical domain score, 1.40 in the psychological domain score and 2.62 in the social domain score in the ICU had a negative impact of 1.52 points on the scores in the social relationship domain. Conclusions: After hospitalization for COVID-19, individuals presented a good perception of their QOL. Demographic, social and clinical aspects influenced the perception of QOL, which indicates the need for the adoption and implementation of public policies aimed at minimizing these differences.

A análise documental e a pesquisa bibliográfica mostram que a referida lei possibilitou o aumento do acesso de pessoas negras ao Sistema Federal de Ensino. Contudo, a política de cotas étnico-raciais ainda não conseguiu proporcionar equidade se comparamos a quantidade de negros e brancos na sociedade capixaba e o ingresso desses grupos ao Ifes, campus Vitória.
ESG scoring and financial performance in micro and small enterprises
Authors: Krištofík Peter , Kanderová Mária , Herc Šimon
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles on corporate financial management within micro- and small enterprises. The primary objective is to assess the impact of ESG integration on the financial performance of these firms. The study commences with a comprehensive review of ESG reporting, underscoring its significance in evaluating corporate performance and ensuring long-term sustainability. A mixed-method approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative analyses, is employed to examine data from 200 Slovak companies across various industries. The study explores the correlation between ESG assessments and financial metrics, including Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Sales (ROS). The results indicate an ambiguous relationship between ESG scores and financial performance, implying that while ESG adoption is vital for sustainability, its short-term financial advantages may be limited. Additionally, the paper addresses the challenges encountered by Slovak enterprises in ESG reporting, such as insufficient awareness and the perceived financial burden of compliance. Recommendations include broadening the dataset and extending the temporal scope of the analysis for more robust insights. The paper also advocates for heightened awareness of ESG principles through educational programs and the enforcement of EU regulations on ESG reporting. These findings aim to contribute both to academic discourse and the practical application of ESG principles, thereby fostering sustainable business practices in Slovakia.

Zakonšpirované Slovensko 1938 – 1945. Niekoľko úvah nad tvárami neviditeľného spiritus movens ľudáckeho režimu
Authors: Hruboň Anton
Published: October 2024

The paradigm of Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party (HSĽS) regime, as well as the persecutory measures implemented against fabricated “enemies of the nation” during its reign (October 1938 – April 1945), were based on conspiracy theories. This essay identifies the main ones, pointing out their genesis, intentionality, and ways of operating with them in political practice. The analysis shows that although many conspiracy frames used in wartime Slovakia correlated with narratives in other countries of the fascist Axis, they cannot be considered copypastes of rhetoric popularized mostly by Nazi Germany. The text promotes the idea that the conspiratorial thinking of the HSĽS already formed in the late Habsburg monarchy at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the changes in international politics in the 1930s only had an effect on their firmer establishment in the political culture of the party and political preferences of its supporters. The basis of this conspiratorial thinking was the fear of liberalism, of the threat to the Christian faith and the Slovak nation by a group of highly sophisticated interconnected “pests” with destructive intentions. Until 1918, it primarily included the Marxist left, capitalists, freemasons, and liberals in general, and after the creation of Czechoslovakia, Czechs, and Jews to an increased extent. The essay emphasizes that precisely the argumentation of conspiracy theories (“imperialism of Prague against Slovakia/Slovaks”, “Jewish Bolshevism”) provided the legitimizing platform for the repressive policy of the HSĽS regime and authorized violence against entire groups of the population that did not belong to the “ingroup”.

Wisata halal merupakan salah satu jenis konsep wisata baru yang sudah menganut prinsip keteraturan berpedoman pada ajaran Islam. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan tentang konsep dari wisata halal. Karena konsep wisata halal yang selama ini dicanangkan Pemerintah, oleh masyarakat dipahami dengan salah kaprah.

Jenis penelitian ini termasuk dalam genre penulisan literatur, yang melibatkan perolehan data dan informasi dari sumber perpustakaan seperti buku, hasil penelitian, jurnal, dan bahan bacaan lain yang masih relevan dengan masalah penelitian. Hasil penelitian menujukkan, wisata halal mencakup penyediaan fasilitas layanan halal dan lokasi wisata yang ramah bagi wisatawan Muslim, seperti tersedianya restoran atau makanan halal. Kemudian terdapatnya tempat ibadah yang memadai serta fasilitas wisata halal lainnya. Intinya, konsep wisata halal ini lebih menekankan kepada pelayanan secara syariah, bukan berarti kepada proses Islamisasi atau menabrak kearifan lokal

This study delves into the concept of the “cultural bomb” within the framework of non-military defense empowerment strategies in Indonesia. This approach can potentially change society’s views and attitudes towards various security threats as a realization of strengthening the defense and security system of the universal people (Sishankamrata) per article 30 paragraph (2) of the 1945 constitution. By leveraging media, education, and information technology, the cultural bomb acts as a social weapon that operates powerfully in the “space of mind,” shaping behavior and actions nonviolently. The issue of cultural threats pertains to the infiltration and imposition of foreign cultural values and practices that undermine local traditions and national identity, leading to social fragmentation and weakness. This study proposes the concept of a “cultural bomb” as a policy framework to address and mitigate these cultural threats. The research employs a qualitative approach using the Delphi technique, engaging experts from cultural studies and defense strategies to reach a consensus on the strategic application of the cultural bomb. The results indicate that the cultural bomb can effectively strengthen national identity and awareness of national defense by promoting local values and cultural resilience, thus enhancing societal cohesion and mitigating the impact of foreign cultural influences. The paper outlines the components of a cultural bomb, analyzes its application in international contexts, and discusses its implications in efforts to strengthen national identity and foster a sense of national defense awareness. Focusing on the “war over space of mind” ideology, it introduces “cultural hacking” as a strategic initiative to address cultural power imbalances in the post-truth era.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women around the world, including Indonesia. Women with breast cancer are more vulnerable to psychological symptoms compared to the general population before or after treatment. Psycological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and fatigue correlate with increasing pro-inflammatory mediators as the response to the malignancy process and also anti-cancer treatment. The psychological symptoms have a bad impact on cognitive functions and lower the quality of life of cancer patients. The research aims to determine the depression prevalence and chemotherapy cycle correlation with the severity of depression in breast cancer patients at Rumah Sakit Umum Cut Meutia, Aceh Utara Regency. This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample of 66 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at the Rumah Sakit Umum Cut Meutia, Aceh Utara was obtained using the consecutive sampling method in accordance with the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The chemotherapy cycle is known from medical records and depression score assessments referring to the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales questionnaire (DASS 42). The correlation of chemotherapy cycles with depression scores was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that the characteristics of the sample were mostly aged 46–55 years, already in stage IV, undergoing cycle 2 or 3 chemotherapy, using an antracylin-based regimen, and not yet depressed (normal). Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation (p 0.001) of moderate degree (r = 0.42) between chemotherapy cycles and degrees of depression. It can be concluded that increasing chemotherapy cycles tends to increase the severity of depression.
