Multidimensional Challenges Toward Sustainable Development Tourism in Bali
Authors: Wulandari Ni Putu Paramitha
Published: February 2025

Climate change, increasing tourist arrivals, and tourism-related modernization have placed immense strain on the island’s ecosystems. Bali welcomed 5.27 million international tourists. While this influx bolstered the economy, it also exacerbated issues such as carbon emissions, tourism-related waste, and the degradation of natural habitats.  In response, the government has initiated bold measures to mitigate environmental damage. One such initiative is Bali Emisi Nol Bersih 2045, which aims to reduce carbon emissions through clean energy transitions and the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies. The introduction of electric vehicles, solar energy projects, and community-led waste management systems represents crucial steps toward sustainability. However, the success of these initiatives hinges on collaboration between stakeholders, including government agencies, local and the tourism industry.  In conclusion, addressing climate change in Bali requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach that balances environmental preservation, economic development, and cultural integrity. The implementation of the FOLU Net Sink Program highlights the critical role of forests as carbon sinks. It emphasizes the need for sustainable land-use practices to achieve net-zero emissions. Integrating advanced technologies, such as modern forest management systems and sustainable agriculture, ensures that conservation efforts not only mitigate carbon emissions but also provide economic benefits to local communities. This approach is further strengthened by the Penta Helix model, which fosters synergy among academia, businesses, government, communities, and media to achieve shared environmental goals. Through these efforts, Bali is positioning itself as a global leader in sustainable tourism, demonstrating how innovation and tradition can coexist to address contemporary environmental challenges.

Enhancing computational thinking in construction education: The role of sensor data analytics with block-based programming
Authors: Khalid Mohammad , Akanmu Abiola , Murzi Homero , Awolusi Ibukun
Published: February 2025

The construction industry's shift to data-driven project management has led to the increasing adoption of various sensing technologies. The transition triggers a demand for a workforce skilled in both the technical and analytical aspects of these tools. While sensing technologies and data analytics can support construction processes, the inherent complexity of sensor data processing often exceeds the skill sets of the graduating workforce. Further, integrating sensor-based applications into construction curricula lacks evidence to support effectiveness in training future professionals. Computational thinking-supported data practices can allow construction students to perform sensor data analytics, spanning from data generation to visualization. This pilot study utilizes InerSens, a block programming interface, as a pedagogical tool to develop construction students’ computational thinking through sensor-based ergonomic risk assessment. Twenty-six undergraduate students were engaged in instructional units using wearable sensors, data, and InerSens. The effectiveness of the approach was evaluated by examining students' perceived self-efficacy in sensor data analytics skills, task performance and reflections, and technology acceptance. Results show gains in self-efficacy, positive technology acceptance, and satisfactory performance on course assignments. The study contributes to the Learning-for-Use, constructivism, and constructionism frameworks by integrating computational thinking into graphical and interactive programming objects to develop procedural knowledge and by summatively assessing how construction students learn to address challenges with sensor data analytics.
COVID-19 And The Informal Sector In South Africa: Lessons, Challenges And Benefits
Authors: Malemela Marry Selosebe , Selepe Modupi
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on informal trading in South Africa. This paper argues that the phenomenon of unemployment has always been a factor that pushes people to become informal traders, pre and post-COVID-19 outbreak in South Africa. However, as far as Covid-19 could have posed critical to the nation’s economy, this paper further asserts that the covid-19 brought major positive contributions to the citizenry, organizations and institutions in South Africa. COVID-19 is said to have originated in China, and Wuhan in the year 2019 and later spread out across the globe to many countries and South Africa is not an exception. The COVID-19 outbreak has forced the South African government to impose strict lockdown regulations to curb the spread. The outbreak of COVID-19 has, inter alia, influenced an increase in the unemployment rate and number of informal traders. Informal trading is the new norm in the post-COVID-19 era since different economic sectors were affected. Methodologically, this paper is conceptual in nature and it relies heavily on the existing literature to contribute to knowledge production with the discourse of the informal economy. The paper recommends that the South African government should come up with workable policies that will be effective even after the outbreak of any unforeseen circumstance like COVID-19. In essence, contingency plans must be in place and should be implemented timely. Workable policies can only be reached if informal traders become part of planning, decision making and implementations in the policy formulation process.

Published: February 2025

The limited influence of African women on resources and decision-making has posed significant challenges to their capabilities and empowerment for decades. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of financial inclusion in advancing women’s economic empowerment within the Nigerian context, drawing on data from the 2018 Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). The analysis focuses on women’s empowerment in terms of their participation in decision-making related to their own earnings and healthcare. Key financial inclusion variables include the use of mobile money and account ownership. The findings reveal that the odds of women making decisions regarding their earnings and healthcare are approximately 36% and 25% higher, respectively, for those who use mobile phones for financial transactions compared to those who do not. Additionally, women without an account in a financial institution exhibit approximately 42% and 32% lower odds of making decisions about their earnings and healthcare, respectively. This research contributes to the literature on digital financial inclusion and highlights its pivotal role in enhancing women's empowerment and promoting gender equality in Nigeria.

Authors: - Nang Nandar Tun , - Nyo Nyo Yee
Published: February 2025

Graph databases, particularly Neo4j, have gained widespread adoption due to their ability to model complex relationships between entities. However, retrieving accurate and relevant results remains a challenge when dealing with Natural Language Queries (NLQ). Traditional keyword-based retrieval methods often fail to capture contextual meanings, leading to inaccurate query results. This paper explores the use of rule-based semantic query conversion in Neo4j, focusing on accuracy calculation through cosine similarity. The proposed method transforms NLQ into Cypher queries based on predefined rules, improving retrieval efficiency. To evaluate accuracy, we apply precision, recall, and F1-score, measuring the effectiveness of our approach. Experimental results demonstrate that rule-based query conversion significantly enhances accuracy compared to traditional keyword searches. The findings suggest that semantic rule-based transformation is a viable approach for improving query interpretation in graph databases.

The Impact of Migration on the Folk Beliefs of the Tribal People in Tripura: An Ethnographic Study with Special References to Boroks
Authors: - Rati Mohan Tripura
Published: February 2025

This paper attempts to investigate how the influx of tribal refugees from the neighbouring country Bangladesh impacted the socio-cultural and economic aspects of Borok people concentrated in different parts of Tripura. During 1983-98, due to some political conflicts within Bangladesh, thousands of indigenous tribal people migrated and were rehabilitated in refugee camps in Tripura through a contract between Indo-Bangladesh governments. Over time, the rehabilitated/migrant tribal people of Bangladesh impacted the socio-economic-religious life of the local tribal people in Tripura. The religious beliefs and practices of the refugee tribal population dominated the religious beliefs and practices of the local tribal people by outnumbering them. Many local beliefs, practices, and ritual activities thus were neglected and forgotten or blended with the imported ones. The refugee society even challenged the control of the local priests to defend their positions within their society. Without serious effort to retrieve those local practices, such marginalised indigenous traditions shall be lost forever.
Public Administration System in Indus–sarsvati Civilization- A Study
Authors: - DR. R.G. CHIDANANDA
Published: February 2025

The Indus Valley Civilization was a cultural and political entity which flourished in the northern region of the Indian subcontinent between c. 7000 - c. 600 BCE. Its modern name derives from its location in the valley of the Indus River, but it is also commonly referred to as the Indus-Sarasvati Civilization and the Harrapan Civilization. The first signs of an administrative system in Indian history are found in the archaeological material remains that are known for its cities based in urban settings that must have surely required a network of public administration system. Anthropological studies of ancient societies suggest that the story of urbanization is one of increasing cultural complexity, a widening food resource base, greater technological sophistication, expanding craft production, social stratification, and the emergence of a level of political organization that can be described as a state. Even a century after the discovery of Indus-Sarasvati civilization, no clear evidence of a ruling class has been recovered in spite of considerable growth in our knowledge of this civilization and its technologies. This led to the emergence of the “stateless” paradigm,[10] according to which, the absence of any substantial evidence of priest-kings, slaves, standing armies, or court officials does not qualify Indus-Sarasvati civilization to be put into the category of State or Empire.

Review of Occupational Radiation Monitoring in Bangladesh: Insights from Selected Studies
Authors: - Soma Shill
Published: February 2025

Monitoring occupational radiation exposure is crucial to ensuring the safety of workers handling ionizing radiation. This review consolidates findings from multiple studies conducted in Bangladesh, focusing on occupational radiation exposure in industrial radiography, diagnostic radiology, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine. The analysis examines key trends, methodologies, and regulatory compliance to assess the effectiveness of radiation protection practices. The reviewed studies indicate that the average annual effective dose among occupationally exposed workers ranged from 0.017 to 0.74 mSv, with sector-specific variations: diagnostic radiology (0.07–0.1702 mSv), interventional cardiology (0.03 - 0.74 mSv), radiotherapy (0.017-0.1112 mSv), nuclear medicine (0.13–0.27 mSv), and industrial radiography (0.2-0.4 mSv) which are well below than the annual average dose limit prescribed by national regulation and international organizations like the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). This review highlights notable improvements in radiation protection practices over the years, as reflected in the declining trends of average annual effective dose across various occupational groups. Improvements in monitoring systems, strengthened regulatory frameworks and enhanced safety training have contributed to a declining trend in annual radiation doses. However, some occupational groups, particularly in industrial radiography and interventional cardiology, have recorded occasional high-dose exposures, emphasizing the need for continued improvements in safety training, equipment handling, and regulatory enforcement. This review underscores the importance of maintaining robust radiation safety measures in Bangladesh and provides recommendations for future enhancements in occupational radiation protection.
Diabetic Foot Ulcer- A clinical study
Authors: - Gaurav Wadhawan , - Ambar Prakash , - Muskaan Wadhawan
Published: February 2025

Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the common presentations of diabetic foot. The diabetic foot may be defined as a group of syndromes in which neuropathy, ischemia and infection lead to tissue breakdown, resulting in morbidity and possible amputation (World Health Organization, 1995) According to the diabetes atlas 2013 published by the International Diabetes Federation, the number of people with diabetes in India currently is 65.1 million, which is expected to rise to 142.7 million by 2035.
Diabetic foot ulcers remain a major health care problem. They are common, result in considerable suffering, frequently recur, and are associated with high mortality, as well as considerable health care costs. While national and international guidance exists, the evidence base for much of routine clinical care is thin. It follows that many aspects of the structure and delivery of care are susceptible to the beliefs and opinion of individuals. It is probable that this contributes to the geographic variation in outcome that has been documented in a number of countries. This article considers these issues in depth and emphasizes the urgent need to improve the design and conduct of clinical trials in this field, as well as to undertake systematic comparison of the results of routine care in different health economies. There is strong suggestive evidence to indicate that appropriate changes in the relevant care pathways can result in a prompt improvement in clinical outcomes.
Foot disease affects nearly 6% of people with diabetes and includes infection, ulceration, or destruction of tissues of the foot. It can impair patients’ quality of life and affect social participation and livelihood. Between 0.03% and 1.5% of patients with diabetic foot require an amputation. Most ulcers can be prevented with good foot care and screening for risk factors for a foot at risk of complications..
The major challenges relating to diabetes foot are:-
1. Foot ulceration is common, affecting up to 25% of patients with diabetes during their lifetime.
2. Over 85% of lower limb amputations are preceded by foot ulcers and Diabetes remains a major cause of non-traumatic amputation across the world with rates being as much as 15 times higher than in the non-diabetic population.
3. Prevention is the first step towards solving diabetic foot problems. Although it was estimated that an ankle is lost to diabetes somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, a more important fact is that up to 85% of all amputations in diabetes should be preventable.
4. Strategies aimed at preventing foot ulcers are cost-effective and can even be cost-saving if
increase education and effort are focused on those patients with recognized risk factors for the development of foot problem.
5. Diabetes is now the most common cause of Charcot neuro-arthropathy in Western countries, another condition that should be generally preventable.

Authors: - Rohit Kashinath Pithale
Published: February 2025

The issue of income inequality in India has been a persistent challenge, with the gap between the rich and the poor widening over time. One of the key policy measures to address this disparity is the effective implementation and revision of minimum wage laws. While India has a structured minimum wage system, inconsistencies in enforcement, regional disparities, and inflation adjustments have reduced its impact on bridging income gaps. This paper explores the relationship between minimum wage policies and income inequality in India, analyzing existing legislative frameworks, economic theories, and empirical studies. The study critically evaluates government policies, highlighting their strengths and shortcomings, and proposes effective strategies for ensuring equitable wage distribution. Furthermore, this research delves into the socio-economic consequences of stagnant wage growth, labor market conditions, and the role of policy interventions in shaping income equality. The research aims to establish the role of minimum wages in reducing economic disparities and fostering sustainable economic growth by drawing insights from international best practices and contextualizing them within India's socio-economic landscape.

Inclusiveness as an Organizing Principle: Ensuring Rights and Social Protection for Interstate Migrants in Kerala
Authors: - NAVAS M. KHADAR
Published: February 2025

The social situation in Kerala depicts a continuous rise in migrant workers. Paradoxically, this growing population experiences two distinct treatment patterns within the same country, leading to a denial of human rights. This research explores the reasons behind this phenomenon, analysing the working conditions of migrant labourers and the disparities in their access to social, welfare, and health systems in Kerala. Recent estimates indicate that the migrant worker population in Kerala ranges from 2.8 million to 3.4 million (KILE 2020 & KSPB 2021) . Surprisingly, the official figures from the Kerala government report a significantly lower count, currently standing at 516,000 migrant workers (RTI 2023) . Several initiatives have been implemented to support migrant workers in Kerala, such as the Migrant Workers Welfare Scheme, Awaaz Health Insurance Scheme, Apna Ghar Residential Project, and various literary projects like Hamari Pathshala Project, Roshni Project, Anya Malayalam Project, Chagatai project, Hamari Malayalam project, Athidhi app, and Guest app. The effectiveness and reach of these programs will be examined in this study. However, the exploitative attitude of the Malayalees (local peoples of kerala) towards the increasing number of migrant workers in Kerala and the migrant labour rights struggle of migrant workers are examples of rights denials. A profoundly troubling network perpetuates wage exploitation among migrant labour communities, with influential figures aiding and abetting theft akin to historical indentured labour practices. The situation presents a distressing picture of interstate migrants facing gross violations of their fundamental human rights, leaving them in a state of vulnerability devoid of legal protection, political representation, and social support. Stripped of citizenship and fundamental human rights, migrant workers endure perpetual societal marginalisation. This aligns with Hannah Arendt's assertion that every individual deserves inherent dignity. In an unjust capitalist society, systematic neglect of rights exposes disposable populations to exploitation, exclusion, and potential elimination. Kerala can bolster its reputation as an inclusive and sustainable space by urgently seeking solutions to deliver social justice to these marginalised workers. The Kerala Government is doing its social responsibility to provide recommendations to ensure the formulation of a comprehensive social, health and right-based policy for migrant workers through this research paper.
Optimizing the thermal performance of naturally ventilated double-skin facades (NVDSF) by directing airflow at the inlet
Authors:   Department of Architecture, Bushehr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Bushehr, Iran, Siadati Faryal
Published: February 2025

The Naturally Ventilated Double-Skin Facades (NVDSF) functional mechanism is based on thermal performance of the components and airflow in the cavity. In this paper, 90 simulation scenarios by changing the geometric features of NVDSF are examined. To obtain the optimal duration of calculations, the simulations of different scales of the 3D model and mesh dimensions were examined and 33% scale 3D model with 8 mm meshes dimension were determined. In this study, 124 different simulation scenarios were investigated to assess the effect of NVDSF performance. The results showed that excessive increase or decrease of ventilation flow deviates the NVDSF from the optimal thermal performance. The best thermal performance of the NVDSF occurs in those scenarios where at the inlet, the air flow is divided into two parts, a part is directed to the shading device and the other part directed to the inner glass. The mean reduction of the transmittance heat flux of the inner glass surface for this scenario was obtained 9.5% compared to the standard commercial grille mode of the inlet of NVDSF-box window type.

New Texts on the Artemision of Ephesos III: Neopoioi Inscriptions
Authors: Hofmann Vera
Published: February 2025

The Neopoioi were not only responsible for building and repairing measures in the Artemision, but also for its safety and administration. In preparation for a corpus fascicle (TAM VI 1: cult personnel of Artemis) I publish in this article eight new inscriptions from Ephesos that mention neopoioi. Due to their fragmentary condition, the type of inscription could not always be determined beyond doubt, but no. 1–4 are presumably lists and dedications. The Caesia mentioned in no. 2 is likely identical with an already known female prytanis. In no. 8 the adjective νεοποιϊκός is attested for the first time in Ephesos.
An Epitaph with a Funeral Banquet Relief from Amaseia in the Mekhitarist Monastery in Vienna
Authors: Schrott Benjamin
Published: February 2025

The pediment stele in the Vienna Mekhitarist Monastery probably originates from Amaseia in Pontus and arrived in Austria between 1866 and 1918. In the Greek funerary inscription Artemon, son of Artemon, and Valeria, daughter of Valerius, are specified as the grave owners. The fact that father and son bear the same name is indicated by an unusual scribal abbreviation of homonymy. The date of the inscription is given as the year 157; since the evidence suggests that the inscription had been originally erected in Amaseia, this date should correspond to the year 155/6 CE.

An attempt is made here to reconstruct the text and to make sense of a tantalising small Hellenistic fragment from Stratonikeia in Karia (I. Stratonikeia 1504). It is argued that the fragment most probably belongs to a letter written by an agent of the Antigonid king Philip V to the league of the Chrysaoreis and that it was inscribed in the sanctuary of Chrysaorian Zeus.
Inscriptions from Ephesos and Surroundings
Authors: CORSTEN Thomas , Demirkıran Ali
Published: February 2025

In this article, four inscriptions are published that were found in the surroundings of Ephesos and are now kept in the «Açık Hava Deposu», the open-air storage of the Efes Müzesi in Selçuk at the fringes of the Ephesos excavation. The first text is a dedication to Zeus, Artemis and the emperor Antoninus Pius, erected in the village of the Bonitai; it is dated after several functionaries and mentions the repair of the rural bathhouse. A second dedication, unfortunately fragmentary, is addressed to Hekate and Demeter, called the «gods who listen». The third and very much damaged text is presumably what remains of an honorary inscription for a poet, and the last is the second part of an epitaph on a tomb which is said to have consisted of three parts.
New Antigonid Inscriptions from Euromos
Authors: KONUK Koray
Published: February 2025

The author publishes three new decrees from the Antigonid period that were dis-covered during the 2017 excavation campaign in Euromos in the sanctuary of Zeus Lep-synos. The first two decrees were engraved on a tall stele and honour Podilos, philos, and Charmadas, phrourarchos of king Antigonos III Doson (229–221). We learn that they were brothers and came from the city of Lykastos on Crete. This is the first inscription from Caria in which Doson is mentioned, and the first evidence of a philos for this king. In the decree honouring Podilos, Euromos is described as being in a state of weakness. The second stele contains a decree honouring Lakrines, strategos of king Philip V (221–179). Lakrines was al-so a Cretan from the city of Polyrrhenia and must have been the successor of Olympichos who is known from several inscriptions. These three decrees are commented on and dis-cussed in their historical context.
Oisyme not Stryme
Authors: PSOMA Selene
Published: February 2025

The aim of this paper is to propose to read Oisyme instead of Stryme in a pas-sage of Heraclides Ponticus on the basis of (a) information from Herodotus and Apollodorus, son of Pasion, about the location of Stryme in the vicinity of Maroneia and to the east of the Nestos River, (b) the mention of Galepsus together with Oisyme by Thucydides, Anti-phon, pseudo-Scylax and Diodorus, and (c) the location of both Galepsus and Oisyme be-tween the Strymon and the Nestus Rivers. Heraclides describes Oisyme as a nesos. This can be explained in one of two ways. One possibility is that the word nesos may mean «peninsu-la» as it showed in several other cases (Bouthrotos, Amarynthos, Achradine, Taurike), which is appropriate because Oisyme is located on a peninsula. Another possibility is that the word nesos is an intrusive gloss inserted to explain why the name is found in a book about islands even though this was not necessary because the entry deals with the colonies of the island Thasos.

Authors: Arslanbaba R. Hakan
Published: February 2025

This article deals with the Cilician and Isaurian soldiers in all Roman units in the Principate. The contribution to the Roman army from the mountainous region of Asia Minor is analysed in detail. In particular, the conspicuous proportion of Cilicians in certain sections of the army and the possible reasons for this are analysed. The possible perceptions of the topoi about the peoples of Cilicia, especially from the perspective of the Cilicians and Isaurians, are then discussed. The article thus offers a glimpse into the professional lives of the ordinary people of the Taurus Mountains.
Une liste de noms à Lébédos: éponymes ou gymnasiarques
Authors: HAMON Patrice
Published: February 2025

A stele recently published found at Lebedos is re-examined. Broken at the top and bottom, it bears a list of 18 names, both individuals and gods. This must be a list of eponymous officials or, possibly, of gymnasiarchoi, dating from the Late Hellenistic period. Several other inscriptions from the gymnasium have been discovered at Lebedos.

A esquizofrenia é um transtorno que traz muitos desafios, onde os seus sintomas impactam de forma psicológica e social os pacientes esquizofrênicos, bem como suas famílias, gerando desafios a esses familiares enquanto cuidadores. O papel da família é de extrema relevância, pois, ainda que os desafios por ela transpassados, como por exemplo a sobrecarga emocional e o julgamento da sociedade sejam notórios, existem caminhos a serem seguidos para a superação dos mesmos. Para isso, denota-se a necessidade de que esses familiares sejam também assistidos por meio de acompanhamentos psicológicos de modo mais acessível. Em adição, faz-se necessário ainda a criação de uma rede de apoio social para a família, auxiliando nos cuidados de todos os envolvidos no suporte e na atenção de um paciente com esquizofrenia.
Schizophrenia is a disorder that brings many challenges, and its symptoms have a psychological and social impact on schizophrenic patients, as well as their families, creating challenges for these family members as caregivers. The role of the family is vital because, even though the challenges it faces, such as emotional overload and society's judgment, are notorious, there are paths to be followed to overcome them. To this end, there is a need for these family members also to be assisted through psychological support in a more accessible way. In addition, it is also necessary to create a social support network for the family, assisting in the care of everyone involved in the support and care of a patient with schizophrenia.
