SOCIAL JUSTICE AND BUDGET DISTRIBUTION: A CASE STUDY OF INEQUALITY IN THE ALLOCATION OF THE WADAS VILLAGE FUND BUDGET IN KARAWANG REGENCY TOWARD COMMUNITY WELFARE
Authors: Gumilar Gun Gun , Saputri Adelia , Dharma Adji Satya , Yarullah Esa Bintang
Published: January 2025

Social justice is the basis that the village government must fulfill towards its people, but the author found that there were deviations in budget distribution which affected the welfare of the community. Although many studies discuss budget inequality from an economic aspect, not many studies explore it from a social justice perspective. Qualitative methods are used through interviews and document analysis to understand how budget inequality influences community perceptions of social justice which aims to explore ethical values and principles of justice in budget decision making, as well as their impact on the welfare of village communities. The results of this research show that unequal budget allocation, especially in direct cash assistance programs, strengthens social and economic inequality at the village level, and raises critical questions about the government's role in realizing more inclusive social justice.

Propionic acid, an organic acid commonly utilized as a feed additive in broiler chickens, serves as an acidifier. Its application can impact the oral pharmacokinetics of marbofloxacin, a promising antimicrobial drug exclusive to veterinary use, extensively employed in poultry farming. Consequently, this present investigation was conducted to examine the influence of pre-treatment with propionic acid (4 g/L in drinking water for 10 days) on the pharmacokinetics of marbofloxacin after its oral administration (5 mg/kg body weight) in broiler chickens. A single oral dose of marbofloxacin was administered to broiler chickens both without (Group-I) and with propionic acid pre-treatment (Group-II). Blood sampling at pre-determined time points was done for both groups, and plasma marbofloxacin concentrations were quantified using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. The pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using non-compartmental modeling through the ‘PK solver 2.0’ software. To compare the mean differences between the two groups, an independent sample t-test was employed. A statistically significant difference was observed in the marbofloxacin concentrations obtained from the two groups at the time points of 0.0833 hours (5 minutes) and 4 hours (P≤0.01). Group I displayed a higher maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) of 2.43 µg/mL in comparison to Group II, which exhibited a Cmax of 2.08 µg/mL. The mean elimination half-life (t½β) of marbofloxacin was extended by 1.1 hours in Group-II compared to Group-I. However, none of the pharmacokinetic parameters exhibited statistically significant differences between the two groups, indicating that there is no necessity for dosage adjustment of marbofloxacin in broiler chicken flocks receiving propionic acid as a growth promoter.

Published: January 2025

Neem extracts and bioactive compounds which have been widely utilized in medicine for some time, exhibit regulatory effects in relation to various biological mechanisms, and include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, as well as antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Thus, this clearly underscores the pivotal role of Neem Bark in modulation of various biological pathways. The present study evaluated the antiviral activity of Azadirachta indica (Neem Bark) extract on Bovine Corona Virus (BCoV), Bovine Herpes Virus-1 (BHV-1), Bovine Parainfluenza Virus-3 (BPIV-3) and Bovine Entero Virus (BEV) in vitro. The aim of the present study was to determine whether its antiviral activities were effective in the cell entry or replication phase of each virus. As a result of the WST-1 test, performed to determine the non-cytotoxic dose of NBE, it was determined that concentrations lower than 0.87 mg/mL were not cytotoxic in an MDBK cell line. Although Neem Bark extract (NBE) did not have any significant effect on the attachment of Bovine Parainfluenza Virus-3 and Bovine Entero Virus to the host cell, a 100-fold decrease in TCID50 (50% tissue culture infectious dose) values of Bovine Corona Virus treated with Neem extract was detected, and virus replication was completely blocked in Bovine Herpes Virus-1. In conclusion, we suggest that it would be valuable to evaluate its antiviral activity on Bovine Corona Virus and Bovine Herpes Virus-1 in vivo. Additionally, the detailed determination of the effectiveness of NBE against other viruses would contribute to future antiviral drug trials.

The main purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of dialysis, as a method for the addition of glycerol, on the quality of frozen / thawed stallion spermatozoa. Three fertility-proven Lipizzaner stallions and 20 ejaculates were included. Each ejaculate was divided into two equal portions in order to use a split ejaculate technique. Glycerol was added either by pipetting, where the semen pellet was diluted after centrifugation with an extender containing 5% glycerol, or using dialysis in which the semen pellet was first diluted with the extender containing no glycerol, and then glycerol was added with the use of a dialysis system. All the samples were gradually cooled to 5ºC, frozen in nitrogen vapor, and kept in liquid nitrogen until analysed. The semen was thawed in a water bath at 37ºC and the samples were analysed after 10 minutes and 3 hours of incubation at 37ºC, for motility, progressive motility, and concentration, using the CASA system (Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis). The quality of the thawed spermatozoa was further analysed using the hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test and morphological analysis. The addition of glycerol by means of dialysis significantly increased total motility (P<0.001), progressive motility (P<0.001) 10 minutes after thawing, the percentage of HOS positive spermatozoa after 10 minutes and 3 hours of incubation (P<0.001, P<0.05, respectively), and the percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa immediately after thawing (P<0.05). The results of this study confirmed the hypothesis that the negative effect, caused by the fast addition of glycerol to semen by pipetting, can be reduced by the gradual addition of glycerol by dialysis.

Pyometra is a severe infection of the uterus with accumulation of pus within the uterine lumen, and is a relevant clinical problem that can be lethal. Mortality of cats from pyometra has rarely been investigated in the world, and there is no such research from Croatia. The aim of the study was to perform retrospective pathological research on pyometra-deceased cats from Croatia. Further, the study describes concurrent pyometra and pneumonia causing death in a single cat, which has, to the authors’ knowledge, not been reported before. The study included cats that died from pyometra from 2009 to 2022. The necropsy reports and histological slides of these cats were reviewed. From the investigated population of 2152 deceased cats, including 908 female cats, four cats died due to pyometra, corresponding to mortality of 0.19% (of the entire investigated population), and 0.44% (of the population of female cats). All the cats were non-pedigree, with an average age of 10.2 years. Apart from pyometra, a one-year-old cat was affected by pyothorax and multifocal to coalescing abscesses in the uterine wall and left lung, with intra-lesional Gram-positive cocci. The current study reports low mortality from pyometra, mostly affecting older cats, which corresponds to the literature data. The study also reports the first case of pyometra and pneumonia caused by Gram-positive bacteria as the coinciding causes of the death in a single cat, which differs from the literature data stating that the most frequent cause of feline pyometra is the Gram-negative Escherichia coli. This study presents valuable information for future disease prevention, health preservation, and the welfare of cats, while also demonstrating that uncommon bacteria may cause pyometra, and may affect organs other than the uterus.

Valencia’s battle against floods: A cartographic review to assess water management strategies
Authors: Polo-Martín Bárbara
Published: January 2025

The modification of the Turia River’s course in the 1960s marked a pivotal transformation in Valencia’s urban landscape, evolving from a flood protection measure into a hallmark of sustainable urban development. However, recent rainfalls and flooding events produced directly by the phenomenon known as DANA ((Isolated Depression at High Levels) in October 2024 have exposed vulnerabilities in the infrastructure, particularly in the rapidly urbanized southern areas, raising questions about the effectiveness of past solutions in the context of climate change and urban expansion. As a result of this fragility, more than 200 deaths have occurred, along with material losses in 87 municipalities, whose industrial infrastructure accounts for nearly one-third of the economic activity in the Province of Valencia, valued at 479.6 million euros. This paper presents, for the first time, a historical-document-based approach to evaluate the successes and shortcomings of Valencia’s flood management strategies through policy and spatial planning analysis. Also, this paper remarks the ongoing challenges and potential strategies for enhancing Valencia’s urban resilience, emphasizing the need for innovative water management systems, improved drainage infrastructure, and the renaturalization of flood-prone areas. The lessons learned from Valencia’s experience in 1957 and 2024 can inform future urban planning efforts in similar contexts facing the dual pressures of environmental change and urbanization.

The Limits of Computer Science. Weizsäcker’s Argument
Authors: Olszewski Adam
Published: January 2025

The main purpose of this paper, which takes the form of an essay, is an attempt to answer the question of the limits of artificial intelligence (AI). In the introductory section, we present the key milestones in AI development, both historical and future projections, in which two terms – Artificial Human (AH) and Artificial ‘god’ (AG) – play a special role. In the second section, we clarify the question of the limits of AI by indicating the hypothetical goal of AI development. The third section develops the argument proposed by C. F. Weizsäcker, originally formulated for cybernetics. The conclusion of this argument is optimistic about limitations to the possibilities of cybernetic simulations. We apply this argument to AI and subject it to a critique which ultimately undermines the legitimacy of its conclusion. We base the critique on two well-known results: the theorem of the unsolvability of the halting problem and Gödel’s first incompleteness theorem, and we formulate two objections interpreted without adopting Church’s thesis. In the crucial fourth section, we present a third objection in the form of a hypothesis for which we argue that AI (AH), understood as a subject, will always be solipsistic.

Authors: Postawa Andrzej
Published: January 2025

The aim of this paper is to investigate the causes influencing the length and duration of online media discourse, which may also mean its “quality” or a kind of “attractiveness”. This goal sets out the issues and basic research questions related to these causes. What causes some discourses take a long time and others end as soon as they begin? What makes one discourse attract the attention of other participants in the discussion, and what causes less interest in the proposed topics? In order to obtain answers to the above questions we study the structure of the text, stylistics, topics of discourses and social interaction of forum participants.

Diagnosis tumor otak melalui MRI menghadapi tantangan akibat keterbatasan dalam visualisasi morfologi, lokasi, dan batas-batas tumor. Format MRI yang biasanya dua dimensi memerlukan interpretasi manual oleh radiolog, yang meningkatkan risiko kesalahan manusia. Untuk meningkatkan akurasi segmentasi MRI, pendekatan pembelajaran mendalam seperti Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) telah diterapkan untuk menyoroti area-area penting. Studi ini membandingkan dua arsitektur CNN, U-Net dan Res-UNet, untuk segmentasi tumor otak menggunakan dataset Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (BraTS) 2020. Kedua model dilatih dengan pengaturan yang serupa dan dievaluasi berdasarkan kemampuannya mengidentifikasi area kunci, termasuk inti tumor, edema, dan area tumor yang mengalami peningkatan. Model ini menggunakan optimizer Adam dan fungsi loss categorical crossentropy, dengan metrik evaluasi termasuk akurasi. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa U-Net mencapai performa optimal pada 35 epoch dengan ukuran batch 64 dan learning rate 0,001, menghasilkan nilai loss terendah (0,0140) dan akurasi tertinggi (99,5%). Meskipun Res-UNet juga mencapai akurasi tinggi (99,3%), nilai loss yang lebih tinggi menunjukkan bahwa model ini kurang efektif dibandingkan U-Net.

Citra Collection MSME is a business engaged in the production of ecoprint fabric. This MSME was established in 2017 by Retno Wulansari. It produces clothes, bags, shoes, and wedding or seminar accessories using fabrics and leather that have been ecoprinted. The demand for ecoprint fabric products is very good, and sales volume has increased. However, some consumers are particular about the ecoprint results, particularly the quality issues, such as wrinkles and color fading. The company also faces difficulties in increasing its boiling capacity due to the limited design of its equipment. So far, the company has been using a meatball pot (manci bakso) for the ecoprint boiling process. Seeing these issues, this community service aims to help improve the quality of ecoprint products and enhance the production process. The method used in this community service is the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method. The PAR method involves the business or MSME from the start, with the hope of delivering targeted and effective results. By implementing APEc_3, the company is able to increase production capacity. This tool can process 30 pieces of fabric in one boiling session. The use of a roll made from stainless steel material helps eliminate wrinkles and prevent color fading, which has always been a problem with the 'manci bakso' equipment.
Budgeting for Social Equity: Exploring the (Nearly) Unknown
Authors: McDonald III Bruce D. , McCandless Sean A.
Published: January 2025

Public administration has become increasingly concerned with social equity, particularly in budgetary processes. Local governments have adopted so-called equity budgeting practices, yet little is understood about how and why they are adopted; what budgeting practices are deemed social equity budgeting versus traditional budgeting; what is required to adopt and implement social equity budgeting successfully; and how success is measured. We analyzed government and nonprofit documents on social equity budgeting, followed by interviews with local government budget directors serving “early adopter cities” of social equity budgeting practices. We developed a framework of social equity budgeting practices to link the findings regarding systemic, societal, political, managerial, and legal practices needed for social equity budgeting among these early adopter cities. Five themes were identified that underlie the successful adoption of a social equity lens: broad grassroots efforts, receptive elective leaders, extended community engagement, buy-in by public administrators, and discourse on how to measure equity.

Published: January 2025

As public administration struggles to further the goal of social equity, part of the problem is leaderswho do not know what characteristics can help them act more inclusively. The role of a leader to establish and promote social equity cannot be overemphasized. Leaders can inadvertently play saboteur. As humans, leaders suffer from cognitive limitations that translate into alienating behaviors toward groups of employees, citizens, and other stakeholders. With complex internal battles to fight, what are the antecedents that motivate a leader to emerge as an inclusive leader? This article aims to create a comprehensive conceptual framework for an inclusive leader. We examine these precursors in a broader context of community and society relevant to public administration with the aim to inform research, practice, and teaching in the field.

Published: January 2025

Background:

The sagittal stratum (SS) is an important white matter (WM) structure that provides the anatomic substrate for cortico-cortical and cortico-subcortical axial interconnections necessary to overcome sensory, cognitive and motor processes. SS damage due to diseases or surgical lesions often results in significant functional losses, mainly involving serious language, visual processing, and cognitive deficits. These risks are maximized in older adults because of age-related WM degeneration.

Methods:

In this comprehensive review, the research aims to synthesize research conducted on anatomy-functional roles that concern the SS, damage, and surgical outcomes. This would then separate studies that employed high neuroimaging advanced techniques, such as diffusion tensor imaging, combined with intraoperative mapping performed during awake surgery. Key attention areas will, therefore, be trajectories pointing toward lateralization of the SS tracts, age-related vulnerabilities, and the effectiveness of surgical strategies in preserving SS integrity.

Results:

The review indicates that the pattern of SS damage is associated with lateralized deficits stemming from left-sided lesions, while language and vision are affected by right-sided. Older adults, already bearing significant WM degeneration, therefore, stand at a significantly greater risk of overall cognitive decline from compounding losses due to SS damage. However, advanced neuroimaging tools and refined surgical techniques have made the preservation of SS pathways much more effective, reducing long-term deficits.

Conclusion:

Intraoperative preservation of SS integrity is crucial for the reduction of functional deficits and enhancement of the outcomes. Customized surgical techniques that consider tract lateralization and age-related changes are required. Further research in this area is needed.
A Data-Driven Reaction Discovery Strategy Based on Large Language Models
Authors: Zhang Jingyang
Published: January 2025

The discovery of novel reactions and optimization of reaction conditions are fundamental challenges in organic synthesis, with significant implications for retrosynthetic analysis and condition selection. This work proposes a data-driven strategy for reaction discovery, integrating high-throughput experimentation (HTE) with insights derived from large language models (LLMs). By leveraging LLMs to process chemical information from extensive literature, the method enables hypothesis-driven design and experimental validation, minimizing reliance on serendipity. Taking cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) as a case study, this research extracts key trends, substrate combinations, and reaction conditions from 520 relevant publications. The methodology identifies unexplored substrate pairs and designs reaction plates for HTE, facilitating systematic discovery. Additionally, the concept of directed evolution in chemical catalysis is explored, hypothesizing that catalytic conditions can evolve systematically based on structural and reactivity similarities. The findings demonstrate the utility of combining LLMs with HTE for reaction discovery and catalysis research. This approach emphasizes methodology development, prioritizing the generation of hypotheses and protocols over isolated reaction discoveries, offering a scalable framework for advancing chemical innovation.

Authors: Prabavathi K. , Subramaniyan A.
Published: January 2025

Venomous catfish of the order Siluriformes possess venom glands located in their dorsal and pectoral spines, which serve as a defense mechanism against predators. These fish, abundantly found in India's aquatic ecosystems, represent an untapped resource for bioactive compounds. Among them, Plotosus canius, a prominent species inhabiting the estuaries of southern India, produces venom with potential antioxidant properties. This study explores the antioxidant capacity of P. canius spine venom by isolating its protein components and utilizing the venom for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The synthesized AgNPs were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, protein estimation, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Their antioxidant activity was evaluated through the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The results indicate that P. canius venom demonstrates significant potential for the synthesis of functional nanoparticles with strong antioxidant properties, highlighting its applications in nanomedicine and environmental sustainability.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To analyze and evaluate the effects of the anesthesia and nursing integration management model in the anesthesia recovery room for patients undergoing hypertension surgery. Methods: A total of 100 patients with hypertension admitted to the hospital from May 2020 to December 2021 were selected and divided into two groups based on different management methods: the control group and the observation group, with 50 patients in each group. The control group received traditional nursing management, while the observation group was managed using the integrated anesthesia and nursing management model. Various indicators, including complications, recovery period metrics, vital signs, nursing satisfaction, and patient emotions, were compared between the two groups to determine the most suitable anesthesia nursing model. Results: Implementation of the integrated anesthesia and nursing management model showed that the mean arterial pressure and blood oxygen saturation levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The nursing satisfaction in the observation group was also markedly improved. Furthermore, the incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than in the control group. Conclusions: The integrated anesthesia and nursing management model in the anesthesia recovery room positively influences patient outcomes. It effectively reduces complications, alleviates patients’ psychological and emotional stress, and stabilizes vital signs. Additionally, this model enhances the professional performance of nursing staff, significantly improving the overall quality of nursing care and patient satisfaction.

Objective: To explore the application effect of interactive health education in the nursing of children with pneumonia. Methods: This study selected 100 children with pneumonia who were admitted to a hospital in Shanghai from April 2023 to April 2024 as the main research subjects. Using the digital random table method, 100 cases of children were divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group received conventional nursing while the experimental group adopted interactive health education on the basis of conventional nursing. The time to clinical symptom resolution, parents’ nursing satisfaction, parents’ awareness of health knowledge, and length of hospitalization were compared between the two groups. Results: Parents’ nursing satisfaction and nursing knowledge awareness in the control group were lower than those in the experimental group (P < 0.05). The length of hospitalization and the time to clinical symptom resolution in the control group were significantly longer than those in the experimental group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: With the application of interactive health education in the nursing of children with pneumonia, the treatment effect is significant, offering quick relief of patient’s symptoms and convenience for disease treatment. Interactive health education also enhances parents’ nursing satisfaction and knowledge of pediatric pneumonia and other complications and related nursing content, providing great advantages for children requiring long-term care after discharge.

Authors: Guo Chunmei
Published: January 2025

Objective: To analyze the effects of a coordinated intervention plan combining oral health and self-care on the oral health, self-care ability, and hospitalization satisfaction of colorectal cancer patients post-chemotherapy. Methods: A total of 106 patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy for colorectal cancer from October 2022 to August 2023 were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups received routine nursing care, while the intervention group also received a coordinated intervention program. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated using the oral odor score, Beck oral rating scale, self-care ability scale, and patient hospitalization satisfaction scale. Data was collected before the intervention, and on the 7th and 14th days after the intervention. Results: No significant differences were found between the two groups before the intervention (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the intervention group showed significant improvements in Beck oral score, dry mouth, and bad breath scores (P < 0.05), compared to the control group. There was no significant difference in oral pH between groups (P > 0.05). Self-care ability improved significantly in the intervention group (P < 0.05). Independent sample t-tests revealed that the intervention group had significant improvements in satisfaction with medical care, including doctors’ and nurses’ professional skills and humanistic care (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in waiting time and hospital environment (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The coordinated intervention plan combining oral health and self-care for colorectal cancer patients post-chemotherapy significantly improves oral health, self-care ability, and hospitalization satisfaction. This approach, integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, has great potential for clinical application.
