Published: December 2024

Perkembangan teknologi komputer dan sistem informasi telah mengalami peningkatan yang pesat, seiring dengan kebutuhan masyarakat akan informasi yang cepat dan akurat. Penggunaan sistem manual di banyak instansi, terutama dalam pengelolaan data perjalanan dinas, sering menyebabkan kesalahan input, kehilangan data, dan pemborosan waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang sistem informasi berbasis website untuk mempermudah pencatatan data perjalanan dinas di badan keuangan dan aset daerah (bkad). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif yang dipadukan dengan prototyping, untuk mengidentifikasi kebutuhan pengguna, merancang prototipe awal, dan melakukan evaluasi serta perbaikan hingga sistem final. Proses penelitian dimulai dengan observasi lapangan untuk mengumpulkan data terkait alur kerja dan kendala dalam sistem yang ada. Selanjutnya, dilakukan identifikasi kebutuhan utama pengguna dan pengembangan prototipe awal yang diuji coba oleh pengguna untuk mendapatkan umpan balik. Evaluasi ini membantu dalam perbaikan prototipe secara iteratif hingga sistem final yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengguna tercapai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem ini memfasilitasi proses pencatatan data sppd secara online, mengurangi ketergantungan pada dokumen fisik, dan meningkatkan efisiensi serta keakuratan pengelolaan data. Sistem ini juga menyediakan akses data yang real-time, meningkatkan transparansi, dan mengurangi kemungkinan kesalahan input. Meskipun terdapat tantangan dalam adaptasi pengguna dan kebutuhan pelatihan, sistem ini berhasil meningkatkan transparansi dan efektivitas pengelolaan perjalanan dinas. Pengembangan lebih lanjut dapat mencakup integrasi dengan sistem lain dan fitur tambahan seperti notifikasi otomatis, pengelolaan anggaran, serta laporan analitik untuk meningkatkan fungsionalitas dan manfaat sistem secara keseluruhan.
A Gender-related Interpretation of Human Reproductive Behavior
Authors: Galli Carminati Giuliana , Carminati Federico , Demongeot Jacques
Published: December 2024

Background: This paper explores the evolutionary origins of human mating behavior. By reviewing the behavior of other primates and our ancestors, we try to hypothesize how human mating behavior has evolved into contemporary patterns.

Purpose: We observe growing concern about couple relationships and acts of gender-oriented harassment and violence. As psychoanalysts, our patients frequently express anguish and confusion about their sentimental life. We also encounter cases of intra-couple violence and related emotional suffering. Understanding the evolutionary contribution to our behaviors and impulses can help address some of these issues.

Methods: We analyze current knowledge on the origins of our species to argue whether human ancestors were high- or low-competition species. We then hypothesize about the evolution of human mating behavior in relation to the introduction of bipedalism and the growth of cranial volume. We interpret contemporary human mating behaviors in light of our phylogenesis. We also present a mathematical approach to mating in an attempt to forge an objective approach to these highly sensitive arguments.

Results: We propose that the transition to bipedalism caused humans to evolve rapidly from a medium-competition to a low-competition species due to the immaturity of their newborns. We posit that since this evolution occurred over a relatively short period on an evolutionary scale, it left vestiges of our medium-competition past in our collective subconscious. We conjecture that this understanding may shed some light on the issues we witness in couple relationships, contributing to their interpretation. From the psychoanalytic standpoint, this offers an intriguing perspective on addressing problematic attitudes and the resulting suffering at the personal and social levels.

The Relationship between Hearing Impairment and Dementia in Primary Care: A Nested Case-Control Study
Authors: Akinmolayan Oluyemi
Published: December 2024

Background: Dementia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in older persons, and it has socio-economic impact on the society. Globally, it is the fifth leading cause of mortality, and the prevalence has been projected to triple by 2050. There is increasing evidence of a link between dementia and hearing loss, but the direction of cause and effect, and strength of association is unclear. Therefore, a nested case control study within one of the largest available databases of primary care records in the UK was used to check the association between hearing impairment and dementia.

Aim: To estimate the proportion of exposure to hearing impairment in dementia cases and, to quantify the association by estimating the risk ratio. To establish whether the calculated risk ratio varies according to the timing of exposure from less than one month to over three years in cases compared to controls.

Methods: A Nested Case-Control study was used to investigate the association between dementia, and hearing impairment and other closely related hearing problems by following-up 137,270 incident cases of dementia with 450,704 matched controls by age and gender who were 50 years and above in the UK primary care setting. Conditional logistic regression was used for the unadjusted risk ratio while multiple conditional logistic regression analysis was used to find an independent association between hearing impairment and dementia.

Results: From the sample population, 25.7% of the cases and 23.9% of the controls were exposed to hearing impairment. There was a 10% (RR=1.10, 95% CI=1.08-1.12) increased risk of dementia after exposure to hearing impairment and this risk was greatest within four weeks of exposure (RR=1.68, 95% CI=1.52-1.85). However, the association was confounded by referral to ENT.

Conclusion: This study shows that hearing impairment could precedes the development of dementia, and it could increase the risk of dementia by 10%, but this link is greatest within a month of exposure to hearing impairment. Consequently, hearing impairment could be an indicator to screen for before the development of dementia.
Ohannes GEUKJIAN, The Russian Military Intervention in Syria
Authors: Özdemir Damla Nur
Published: December 2024

In The Russian Military Intervention in Syria, Ohannes Geukjian attempts to explain Russia’s military intervention in Syria using the status-seeking theory. The theory claims that Russia risks conflict to retain its great power status. According to Geukjian, Russia is a status-inconsistent power, which means its status and capability are not aligned. Russia considers itself a great power due to its nuclear capabilities, veto power in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), and its role in the Cold War. However, its economic, military, and material capabilities are insufficient to support this perception, hence making Russia an “overachiever.” Russia utilizes strategies to regain recognition as a major player in global politics, occasionally resorting to force. The book explores the events that led to Russia's military intervention in 2015, with a particular focus on the factors that shaped its decision to support the Assad regime and contribute to the conflict resolution process.
Oksan BAYULGEN, Twisting in the Wind: The Politics of Tepid Transitions to Renewable Energy
Authors: Ünal Serhan
Published: December 2024

The book analyses the transition to renewable energy in Türkiye, which, according to the Bayulgen, is the country in the world that needs it the most to reduce its current account deficit, energy insecurity, and increasing environmental degradation. Chapter one is an introductory chapter and draws the general framework for the study. The main puzzle of the book is why renewable energy reforms stagnate over time despite favourable economic and technical conditions and why it is hard to increase renewable energy against fossil fuels. These questions are important to detect if the factors necessary to initiate pro-renewable policies are different from those that are necessary to sustain them.

Published: December 2024

The fashion industry in Indonesia continues to experience rapid growth, with traditional clothing such as kebaya gaining increasing popularity. Price is one of the key factors influencing consumer interest, particularly in niche markets like kebaya boutiques. This study aims to evaluate the role of price in influencing consumer purchase interest through a case study at Butik Imas Collection. A qualitative approach was used with a case study method, involving in-depth interviews with the boutique owner and 10 female consumers, as well as direct field observations. The findings reveal that although price is a significant factor, consumers also consider other aspects such as fabric quality, kebaya design, and customer service. These findings support the price perception theory by Kotler and Armstrong and align with previous research by Sawitri et al. (2024), which states that the combined application of price and product quality can enhance purchasing decisions. This study provides strategic insights for boutique managers on the importance of maintaining competitive pricing without compromising quality. A combination of competitive pricing, superior product quality, and excellent customer service can boost consumer purchase interest while strengthening Butik Imas Collection's position in the kebaya market.

Published: December 2024

As social creatures, humans rely heavily on each other both during life and after death. In Islamic societies, the community has the responsibility to organize funerals. However, many people don't know how to do it, so they have little intention of doing it. The method used in this corpse burial activity is through lectures, question-and-answer demonstrations and evaluation. The results of the service showed that there was an increase in the knowledge and understanding of youth organizations regarding the procedures for handling corpses, and the youth also became enthusiastic about the presentation given by the researcher, giving rise to new cadres in the Medalkrisna village environment. Through the active participation of the village community, especially the teenage youth of Karang Taruna, it is hoped that the results can be contributed by the amil in Medalkrisna village in order to improve the development of the village's own human resources. The aim of this research is of course to guide young teenagers to increase their knowledge about corpse burial so that later they can even understand corpse burial in Islam itself. It can be concluded that the implementation of this activity, especially in community service, can certainly increase knowledge and increase understanding, especially the procedures for intermenting corpses, as well as religiously training the youth of local youth organizations so that they can understand more about intermenting corpses.

Published: December 2024

A tanulmány célja a keleti sün (Erinaceus roumanicus) mint hatásviselő példáján keresztül azonosítani a vonalas infrastruktúrák által okozott városökológiai kihívások és kockázatok mibenlétét, valamint nemzetközi jó gyakorlatokat feltárni a probléma csökkentése érdekében. A kutatás elemzi a városökológiai jó gyakorlatok és szakpolitikai intézkedések hatásait, különös figyelmet szentelve a magyarországi gyakorlatokra. A tanulmány kiemeli, hogy a vonalas közúti létesítmények fejlődése veszélyezteti a keleti sün populációját Magyarországon, hiszen a szigethatás és a zöldterületek fragmentációja súlyos antropogén veszélyeket jelentenek. A kutatás hipotézise összetett, hiszen maga a faj magyarországi védett státusza, természeti értéke és a lakossági attitűd között olyan problémák azonosíthatók, amelyekre külföldön már születtek mitigációs, adaptációs és szenzibilizációs megoldások. A nemzetközi gyakorlatban már elterjedtek az olyan útszakasz-megjelölések, amelyek a keleti sün jelenlétére hívják fel a figyelmet, de Magyarországon további szakpolitikai eszközök bevezetésére is szükség van a probléma kezeléséhez. Utóbbira is nagy számban találhatók olyan intézkedések, amelyek integrálása a magyarországi gyakorlatba szintén megfontolandó. A tanulmány rámutat a természetvédelmi státusz és a negatív externáliák anyagi vonzata között fennálló disszonanciákra, a fenntartható mobilitás és a városökológia hatásterületeinek összehasonlítására és hangsúlyozza, hogy a kutatás eredményei segíthetnek a döntéshozóknak, természetvédelmi szakembereknek és a lakosságnak a probléma hatékony kezelésében.

How do we know what we know? Ontological and epistemological debates in sustainability transitions research
Authors: Skjølsvold Tomas Moe
Published: December 2024

While there is a principal agreement amongst most sustainability transitions researchers about the need for collaboration across disciplines to understand transitions, such collaborations can become difficult in practice. This is in part because scholars tend to disagree about a) how to understand the world (ontology), and b) what constitutes important knowledge about transitions (epistemology). From such a basic observation, this chapter explores ontological and epistemological debates within sustainability transitions research. It begins by outlining the dominant frameworks, particularly the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP), and their foundational assumptions drawn from evolutionary economics and Science and Technology Studies (STS). The chapter identifies two main criticisms of the MLP: the need for an expanded epistemic focus and ontological critiques from proponents of "flat ontologies" and critical realists. It then discusses new epistemological approaches that challenge the basic plotline of the dominant theories: that transitions primarily emerge through innovation journeys. These criticisms focus on capitalism, coloniality, and justice, emphasizing how the basic narrative of mainstream transition studies tends to externalize such concerns. The chapter concludes by supporting radical theoretical pluralism as key to understanding the increasing complexities of sustainability transitions.
Policy In Action: Using Reflection of Experiences to Teach Social Welfare Policy
Authors: D. Harris Marshelia
Published: December 2024

Teaching social welfare policy to undergraduate students can be challenging, especially when students are not excited about the subject matter or express discontent for the course. Instructors may struggle with creating assignments that are engaging and informative. Students report not having a solid policy foundation or not being prepared to incorporate policy practice skills outside of the classroom. This case report discusses the use of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (1984) to teach social welfare policy. Students gain the ability to share real world experiences with each other and to identify common areas of interest. Robust classroom discussions afford students an opportunity to understand concepts and ideas while good debates provide an option to showcase knowledge and demonstrate critical thinking skills. These teaching methods take into consideration the needs of the diverse learners and allow the instructor the flexibility to incorporate different teaching methods to address the learning styles of all students. In recognition of the student’s aptitude and limited policy experiences, the content of the policy course should focus on students developing beginning policy practice skills.

Pentecostal-Charismatic Imagination and Representation of Jewish Festivals in a Chinese Context
Authors: Ng Christian Nathen
Published: December 2024

Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity, a distinctive form of Christianity emphasizing ecstatic spiritual experiences and gifts, has been one of the fastest-growing religions worldwide. The reinvention of Jewish festivals has been on the rise within the Chinese Pentecostal-Charismatic context of Hong Kong. Through fieldwork and content analysis, this ethnographic study investigates Jewish festivals of the 611 Bread of Life Christian Church, one of the largest megachurches in Hong Kong. First, the article briefly describes Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity in Hong Kong and 611 Church’s background. Second, it analyzes the church’s three main Jewish festivals—Sukkot, Purim, and Passover—to depict and explore its festive practices. Third, the study engages in a theoretical discussion of this festive phenomenon. Moreover, it illustrates how 611 Church has contextualized its Jewish festivals explicitly and implicitly to minimize the contextual gap in Hong Kong. While 611 Church considers the significance of its festive restoration and reinvention from a theological lens, the article maintains that from a Chinese contextual lens, focusing on restoration and reinvention are crucial in helping the church pursue self-empowerment and discursive power, develop its community identity, and confront the discursive hegemony in the local Christian context.
An Innocent Catharsis?
Authors: Giancristofaro Lia
Published: December 2024

This article examines a traditional sporting game played only during carnival that is based on the symbolic hunting and killing of a dummy ox in the streets of Offida, Italy. The Bove Finto (literally Fake Ox) attracts hundreds of players scrambling in crazed pursuit of a large dummy ox carried by an athlete from the committee who organizes this event once per year. The hunt is held in main streets, and, as the dummy ox fights back, it is cornered in the town square, where it is symbolically slaughtered at the end. This traditional pantomime hunt is part of a European legacy of bull sport rituals (corridas and encierros, that is, bullfights and bull runs) but is more recent than it might appear. A historical reading of this event highlights that, in the 1900s, local groups of youth in Offida used this rite to assert their presence and carve out a new role for themselves, challenging the upper classes through the hunt. Today, the younger generation is still the driving force behind this bloodless corrida and amusing encierro linked to carnival, with its characteristic excitement and alcohol consumption. This article offers an overview of the role of this fake hunt in relation to the town’s urban space and argues that further significance of this traditional pursuit lies in its promotion of local culture outside the globalized hegemonic sports sphere.
Arctic Winter Games as Festive Event
Authors: Bertet Elina , Gontier Camille , Fuchs Julien
Published: December 2024

This article focuses on the sporting event known as the Arctic Winter Games, which features young people (aged ten to twenty) from the Arctic regions, provinces, and nations. It demonstrates that young participants primarily experience this event as festive, thus fulfilling the Games’ stated promise of combining sports with the promotion of Arctic culture. Drawing on data collected during the 2023 edition, the article investigates the expectations of both the young athletes and the organizers and then compares them with how participants experience the event. The behaviors, interactions, and relationships that develop during flagship Games events, such as Arctic sports and Dene games, during which festive practices take center stage, are also part of this study. The article thus illustrates that the Arctic Winter Games place festivity, primarily as a means for participants to socialize and foster a symbolic unity among young people of the North, at the heart of the event. The festive and partying moments, which are integral to this youth-focused event, make the Arctic Winter Games an unique platform to observe how international sports events are striving today to renew their model by constructing a strong social and cultural sense of belonging.

Before the Institutionalization of Sport in France
Authors: Fournier Laurent-Sébastien
Published: December 2024

This article examines a collection of letters written by the mayors of the municipalities of the Bouches-du-Rhône district (France) between 1820 and 1825, which provide precise information on certain traditional sporting games that constituted the daily life of village festivals in the Marseille region and, more generally, on the Mediterranean shore of France at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The article presents the collection of letters and explores the diversity of games they mention. Then it focuses on the characteristics of the games, successively considering their place in the annual calendar, the methods of their organization, their financing, and their audience. Lastly, it examines the context within which the letters were written, showing how the knowledge of local mayors contributed to building a specific image of sport a few decades before the advent of modern institutional sports.
Clean Monday in Athens, 1800–1940
Authors: Potamianos Nikos
Published: December 2024

This article discusses the transformations of the Clean Monday festival and its multiple meanings in Athens over a century and a half in the context of the growth of the city, the advance of modernity, the deepening of commodity relations, and secularization. The first day of the Lenten fast for Orthodox Christians formed part of carnival in terms of revelries, obscenity, and "magical thinking." Moreover, Clean Monday in Athens was a major open-air festivity in which commensality and dance validated communal ties. Various changes occurred in the second half of the nineteenth century: the celebrations were dispersed into the space around the city and loosened their ties to the urban community and Athenian identity; and modernity brought individualization, a reduction of the sacred and ritual element in favor of leisure, commercialization, and ultimately the de-carnavalization of the festival. Clean Monday did not decline but was eventually enriched with new meanings. Its links with folk culture were strengthened, as it was appropriated by various communities of internal migrants. Its association with a boys’ culture of amusements was reinforced by the spread of kite flying. Finally, the character of Clean Monday as a day of contact between the city’s inhabitants and nature and as a welcome to spring became dominant in the twentieth century and has remained so to this day.

Published: December 2024

This paper deals with a common but not thoroughly researched sociopsychological phenomenon, the post-event blues. Post-event blues is a sudden drop in mood, a feeling of lethargy and sadness after a long-awaited, happy event. Many psychological websites and blogs refer to this phenomenon by various names, but a common name and definition have yet to be developed. This article aims to fill this gap, based on a short empirical survey among participants of a Hungarian festival (Fekete Zaj) and the collection of mentioned blogs and websites. It also explores some of the sociopsychological reasons behind the blues in the Hungarian setting, its characteristics and effects, and presents the coping mechanisms suggested in these sources, with the aim of bringing this topic into scientific discussion.

Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) memegang peranan penting dalam perekonomian Indonesia, memberikan kontribusi besar dalam penyerapan tenaga kerja dan peningkatan Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB). Namun, UMKM juga menghadapi berbagai tantangan, terutama dalam pengelolaan keuangan yang efektif dan efisien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan Entitas Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (SAK EMKM) pada K2kha Studio, sebuah studio olahraga yang mengalami permasalahan likuiditas akibat penurunan pendapatan serta beban kewajiban tetap yang tinggi. Permasalahan utama yang dihadapi adalah praktik pencatatan keuangan yang belum memadai dan tidak mencerminkan kondisi keuangan yang sebenarnya, seperti pencatatan aset dan penyusutan yang tidak teratur. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui wawancara, observasi, dan analisis dokumen keuangan untuk menggali lebih dalam praktik pencatatan keuangan K2kha Studio serta kendala yang dihadapi dalam mengelola arus kas dan kewajiban. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa K2kha Studio masih mengandalkan pencatatan keuangan manual dan sederhana, yang berdampak pada kurangnya informasi akurat mengenai posisi keuangan dan arus kas. Disarankan agar K2kha Studio menerapkan pencatatan sesuai standar SAK EMKM, mencatat aset secara terperinci, serta mengeksplorasi strategi peningkatan pendapatan seperti penyewaan alat olahraga dan penawaran paket pelatihan bagi perusahaan. Langkah-langkah ini diharapkan dapat membantu meningkatkan likuiditas dan memastikan keberlanjutan usaha K2kha Studio.

Perkembangan teknologi informasi berbasis komputer yang begitu pesat telah membawa banyak perubahan dalam kehidupan manusia. Salah satu perkembangan teknologi terkini yang sedang menjadi pusat perhatian adalah kecerdasan buatan. Dengan kecerdasan buatan ini, komputer dapat melakukan tugas tertentu seperti yang dilakukan manusia, yaitu mengobrol (chatbot). Chatbot adalah program komputer yang dapat menangani dan merespons percakapan melalui tulisan. Sektor pariwisata merupakan salah satu bidang yang mempunyai potensi untuk menumbuhkan perekonomian suatu daerah. Pariwisata erat kaitannya dengan pemanfaatan teknologi informasi. Wisata di Tangerang Raya berpotensi banyak dikunjungi wisatawan. Namun pengembangan informasi pariwisata yang ada dirasa masih kurang efektif dan informatif. Dalam penyampaian informasi masih dilakukan secara manual yaitu dari informasi yang didengar orang lain. Oleh karena itu peneliti mencoba mengembangkan aplikasi chatbot sebagai helpdesk dengan menggunakan pendekatan Natural Language Processing. Dengan adanya aplikasi ini wisatawan dapat melakukan tanya jawab terhadap sistem yang dibangun. Aplikasi ini menggunakan bahasa yang digunakan manusia sehari-hari untuk berkomunikasi satu sama lain.

Data cleaning is a core process when it comes to using data from dairy sensor technologies. This article presents guidelines for sensor data cleaning with a specific focus on dairy herd management and breeding applications. Prior to any data cleaning steps, context and purpose of the data use must be considered. Recommendations for data cleaning are provided in five distinct steps: 1) validate the data merging process, 2) get to know the data, 3) check completeness of the data, 4) evaluate the plausibility of sensor measures and detect outliers, and 5) check for technology related noise. Whenever necessary, the recommendations are supported by examples of different sensor types (bolus, accelerometer) collected in an international project (D4Dairy) or supported by relevant literature. To ensure quality and reproducibility, data users are required to document their approach throughout the process. The target group for these guidelines are professionals involved in the process of collecting, managing, and analyzing sensor data from dairy herds. Providing guidelines for data cleaning could help to ensure that the data used for analysis is accurate, consistent, and reliable, ultimately leading to more informed management decisions and better breeding outcomes for dairy herds.

Introduction

Effective postoperative pain management remains a significant challenge due to the severe side effects of opioids and the limitations of existing analgesic delivery systems. Inflammation plays a critical role in pain exacerbation, highlighting the need for therapies that combine analgesic effects with intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties.

Methods

Herein, we develop an intrinsic anti-inflammatory nanomedicine designed to enhance pain management by integrating controlled anesthetic release with inherent anti-inflammatory activity. Our nanoplatform utilizes dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) loaded with levobupivacaine and coated with Rg3-based liposomes derived from ginsenoside Rg3, termed LMSN-bupi.

Results

The MSNs enable sustained and controlled release of the local anesthetic, while the Rg3-liposome coating provides intrinsic anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting macrophage activation. In animal models, LMSN-bupi demonstrates significantly prolonged analgesic effects and attenuated inflammatory responses compared to traditional liposome-decorated nanoparticles (TMSN-bupi) (n = 5).

Discussion

These findings underscore the potential of intrinsic anti-inflammatory nanomedicines in enhancing pain management, offering a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of current therapies and improve patient outcomes in postoperative care.
