TV and Radio broadcasting institutions in their function as a means of mass communication, play an important role in disseminating credible information to the public in the 2020 North Sulawesi Governor and Deputy Governor elections. The Governor and Deputy Governor candidate pairs and their success teams also took advantage of this means to convey their political messages, in the form of visions and missions and work programs, and information on their track record of success along with invitations to vote. From the 2020 Pilkada news broadcasts and campaign advertisements such as those aired on LPP TVRI North Sulawesi Station, Kompas TV Manado, Kawanua TV, LPP RRI Manado, LPP RRI Tahuna and other mass media, the public gets enough information about the track record and ideas of the candidate pairs to be elected so that it becomes a consideration in making choices. Political messages containing invitations delivered by candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor indirectly influence the attitude of voters in making their choices. With this function, the media is able to supply the information needs of the audience. In political communication, the most realistic fact to be used as a measure of the success of message delivery is the increasing number of audiences who agree on what the content of the message is and more explicitly are willing to become followers of political communicators. With the opinion of the community as communicants or recipients of political messages, that their choice when voting is partly influenced by the message of the political communicator.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the economic efficiency of judicial conciliation in defaulted credit contracts, through a case study of a major Brazilian financial institution, between the years 2014 and 2019. From the perspective of the economic analysis of law, this study analyzes the efficiency of conciliation in collective settlement events organized by the Federal Court, using three methods of assessment: maximization of gains and minimization of costs, Pareto efficiency, and the Kaldor-Hicks criterion. The results indicate that conciliation, when successful, demonstrates economic efficiency; however, as a public policy, it does not achieve indices compatible with the advantages stemming from its adoption. These findings contribute to the scientific literature that studies alternative dispute-resolution methods by providing empirical evidence for financial institutions and policymakers in the sector.

Visual Impairment Due to Optic Chiasm Herniation Following Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery: A Collection of Case Studies
Authors: Ngai Chin Hong ,   Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, National University Health System, Singapore
Published: July 2024

Background: The pituitary gland is prone to various lesions, and the endoscopic transsphenoidal approach is a minimally invasive surgical technique for removing such lesions. Surgical removal of part or all pituitary lesions can result in an empty sella turcica, potentially causing herniation of the optic chiasm. This report presents three cases of patients who developed visual impairment following pituitary surgery and were diagnosed with herniation of the optic chiasm into an empty sella turcica. Case Series: We report three cases of visual deterioration following transsphenoidal resection, with MRI findings indicating optic chiasm herniation. These cases underscore the complexity of post-surgical outcomes and the potential mechanical impact on the optic chiasm. Case 1: A 65-year-old man underwent surgery for a Rathke’s cleft cyst, resulting in initial unchanged vision, followed by worsening bitemporal hemianopia despite successful cyst removal. Post-operative imaging suggested optic chiasm herniation, with subsequent hormonal disturbances developing 4 weeks after surgery. Case 2: A 62-year-old man with a history of macroprolactinoma, initially treated with dopamine agonists, experienced progressive vision loss despite medical therapy, leading to surgical intervention. Post-surgery, prolactin levels improved, but visual acuity continued to decline, with imaging showing persistent optic chiasm herniation 6 weeks post-operation. Case 3: A 37-year-old man, previously treated for a pituitary adenoma via transsphenoidal surgery, presented with worsening bitemporal hemianopia 96 weeks post-surgery. MRI revealed downward traction of the optic chiasm, suggesting long-term mechanical effects impacting vision. Conclusion: This case series highlights that patients presenting with visual changes and a history of recent pituitary gland surgery should be investigated for herniation of the optic chiasm into the sella turcica.

Authors: Suparta Mundzier
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis article wants to analyze the relationship between social change theory and Islamic boarding schools in Southeast Asia. With a qualitative analysis method, in this article it is revealed that the pattern of Islamic Boarding School Education is adopted in several countries in Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia, Southern Thailand and the Southern Philippines. Some scholars in Southeast Asia studied a lot in Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia, and developed a similar pattern after graduating from Indonesia. Islamic boarding schools in Southern Thailand still maintain the tradition of reciting with pegon or Jawi letters in Pondok and Madrasah. They form Muslim leaders in Southern Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines as well as Muslim communities in other Southeast Asian communities. In the case of changes in Islamic boarding schools in Southeast Asia, both changes due to elements from within and from outside, the role of kyai as an actor of change occupies a very central position.AbstrakArtikel ini ingin menganalisis keterkaitan teori perubahan sosial dengan pesantren di asia Tenggara.

Purpose: To establish fish consumption patterns and its determinants in the study area.
Materials and Methods: The study used random and stratified sampling methods to obtain a sample size of 621 fish consumers from Mayuge and Masaka districts. This study used primary data. Stata and statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) were used in data analysis. Frequencies, mean, percentages, inferential statistics were used to achieve the objectives of this study. Data was presented in tables and graphs.
Findings: Respondents mostly ate farmed tilapia (64%), captured tilapia (92%), captured Nile perch (84%). Sun dried silverfish was consumed at a level of 99%. Fish product consumption levels were negligible. Regression analysis established that fish price, education level, household income, location of resident, price of chicken, fish form consumed, fish fat level, production system of fish consumed and variation in fish availability significantly influenced monthly quantities of fish consumed.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended the need to improve household income, make the community aware of the nutritiousness of fish and its associated advantages and increase fish price competitiveness by improving efficiency in availing fresh fish to selling locations. Improvement was needed in fish management to put to market, highly nutritive and healthy farmed fish. Need to promote processed fish consumption for both captured and farmed fish. Lastly a vigorous drive to increase farmed fish consumption was key.
SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF PROTEIN AND ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES
Authors: Mihalcea Elena , Enache Andra Cristina , Gradinaru Vasile-Robert , Drochioiu Gabi
Published: July 2024

The utilization of spectrophotometric methods for the determination
and analysis of proteins is of great interest as they are generally simple, rapid and
with high sensitivity. These protein assays have many uses in the food, plant
breeding, pharmaceutical and biomedical industries, as well as in forensic science
and a variety of other research fields. Among these, the biuret method is highly
sensitive and is widely used in clinical and biological laboratories. However, the
use of copper sulphate in the traditional biuret method of protein identification can
lead to substantial interference from copper ions. In this framework, we modified
the traditional biuret method by using an alkaline-alcohol reagent and insoluble
copper phosphate; the protein-copper complex could also be evaluated at 545 nm.
In addition, aliquots of the same solution are treated with specific reagents to
determine two essential amino acids; tryptophan reacts with glyoxylic acid and
lysine is treated with a ninhydrin-based reagent. Calibration curves must also be
made at three wavelengths, with absorbance values in relation to the concentration
of each component measured by standard methods. The advantage of this new
approach is that it requires only 50 mg of ground seed meal to quantify three
different components in each sample.

SCHIFF BASES AND THEIR POLYMER RESINS IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS: AN ANALYTICAL AND ADSORPTION EFFICIENCY STUDY
Authors: Albaaj Luma T. Tuma , Mohammed Mohammed Q.
Published: July 2024

The goal of this study is to synthesize, characterize, and analyse a
number of chelating polymer resins containing Schiff base ligands that can be
utilized to remediate harmful metal-laden industrial wastewater. We create
multiple polymer resins to find the ideal conditions for eliminating numerous
metal ions. To avoid water pollution, industrial effluent must be cleaned before
disposal because it includes high levels of hazardous metals. Several studies on
various physical methods for separating, removing, and managing metal toxicants
have been conducted. The condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde L1 and 1,3
benzodioxole-5-carboxaldehyde L2 resulted in the production of isoniazid Schiff
base derivatives, specifically isonicotinic acid hydrazide. The azo-methane ligands
were detected through the application of spectroscopic techniques, including
infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Two
different ways were used to make polymer resins: formaldehyde was used for L1
and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) was used for L2. Thermal analysis
was used to test the thermal stability of polymers. The cyclic voltammetry method
was also used to investigate the electrochemical properties of the Schiff base
ligands. Using time and pH, the chelating efficiency and loading capacity of

Within the member countries of the European Union, Romania is consolidated as the
country with the sixth largest agricultural area and the fifth largest arable area; this
natural advantage allows it to be a major agricultural producer and possibly a potential
agro-exporter in the world. This research sought to analyse the competitiveness levels of
the Romanian agro-export sector through its five most representative products using a
competitiveness matrix; as a complement to the analysis, the Revealed Comparative
Advantage indicator was used; the information was extracted from the ITC-TradeMap.
As general results, Romania evidenced a solid agro-export sector, which manages to
compete with the main exporters in the world and even manages to take advantage of
different categories of the selected target markets, as is the case of Sunflower Seed.
In-between a dream and a nightmare?
Assessing the impact of 'Wartime Politicisation' on EU enlargement policy after 2022
Authors: Butnaru-Troncota Miruna
Published: July 2024

The brutal start of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine in February 2022 had numerous
unexpected consequences. One of them was that it brought enlargement back at the top
of EU’s agenda. This was also followed by a revitalisation of EU's own internal dilemma
between prioritising deepening or widening, together with the increasing contradictions
between member states on how should enlargement proceed. It is thus relevant to assess
whether this geopolitical shift had an overall positive or negative impact on the EU. In
this context, the main aim of the article is to assess the various forms of ‘wartime
politicisation’ between 2022 and 2024 among the main policy actors in EU's public
sphere around the topic of advancing its enlargement policy. In end, the article
demonstrates that ‘wartime politicisation’ can have both stabilizing and destabilizing
effects on EU and discusses future avenues of research.
Boosting the cultural dimension of sustainable development - from grassroots to policy level
Authors: Clincu Mihaela , Bănică Alexandru
Published: July 2024

The current article explores the integrative dimension of culture within the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) at the European level while fostering cultural stakeholders’
empowerment. As sustainable development is an international priority, the interest in the
significance of the cultural sector to the transformative process towards sustainable
development has risen. The dominant explanation for this trend is given by the cross
cutting dimension of the cultural field and its premises to connect the three pillars of
sustainable development: social, economic and environmental. The article supports this
connection by using data from semi-structured interviews with representatives of ten
organisations active in the cultural field from Belgium, Greece, France, Italy, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain and Hungary. The research findings show the
relevance of the cultural sector as enabling sustainable development through its
transversal dimension. The results are directed towards facilitating better understanding
and increased attention to the benefits of trans-sectorial cooperation between grassroots,
research and decision-making actors as a contributive approach to the SDGs.

Authors: Hammoudeh Majd Jamal Rasmi
Published: July 2024

Mindfulness has been applied differently since its emergence in the modern world. This paper sheds light on the recontextualization and simplification of mindfulness and mindfulness-based applications, particularly with the rise of ‘Work from Home’ during and after the COVID19 pandemic. This review contributes to the conversation on and understanding of how mindfulness practices have been infused into day-to-day life and simplified to accommodate the fast-paced modern working life. This paper first reviews the definitions of mindfulness over the years from dictionaries and research papers, then covers the emergence of critiques on the contemporary secular context of mindfulness. Lastly it examines the modern application of mindfulness and how digitalizing the practices has supported in time their expansion during times of crisis. The review concludes that the recontextualization of mindfulness seemed necessary to increase accessibility to its theories and practices, even though it has faced its own share of criticism depending on where and how mindfulness was introduced.
