Authors: Faisol Faisol , Haryadi Bambang , Musyarofah Siti
Published: December 2024

Grant funds are a Provincial Government program that is disbursed to recipients of grant funds, namely community groups, to improve community welfare through infrastructure development such as road asphalting, concrete rebates, retaining walls, and other programs. This research aims to describe fraudulent practices in managing regional grant funds for community groups starting from planning, implementation, and accountability. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods by collecting data through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this research found that the fraudulent practice of managing regional grant funds for community groups began when the proposal was ratified, where there was an act of gratification aimed at speeding up the ratification of the grant fund proposal. During the disbursement of grant funds, unreasonable deductions were practiced by community group coordinators. This practice was carried out for the management of community groups starting from submitting proposals to preparing accountability reports. Fictional physical development activities have a strong backing, the aim is to embezzle and profit from the grant budget. Furthermore, grant fund fraud actors colluded with related agencies so that physical construction that did not comply with budget plans escaped supervision.

Published: December 2024

The endless phenomenon of corruption proves that the level of public awareness of corruption is still low and anti-corruption education is needed as early as possible to mitigate the occurrence of corrupt practices in Indonesia, including at the higher education level. The urgency of implementing anti-corruption education also needs to begin with individual awareness of the importance of anti-corruption education. This is a preliminary study that aims to measure students’ perception of anti-corruption education in higher education. This study conducted a survey of several students in all faculties at Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana (UKSW) to see the understanding and the importance of anti-corruption education in the university. The result showed that most of UKSW students understand about corruption and any matters related. The students mostly agree that the role of anticorruption education is very important in efforts to prevent corruption. Furthermore, the learning curriculum at UKSW has accommodated anti-corruption education even though it is not yet explicit and specific.

Authors: Sidauruk Diana Laurencia
Published: December 2024

This study investigates differences in internal audit effectiveness and data analytics (DA) usage by the Government’s Internal Supervisory Apparatus (GISA) in fraud prevention and detection (FPD). It examines variations in DA usage based on GISA effectiveness and independence, motivations for DA use, application methods, and the effectiveness of DA tools. Using a mixed-method approach, data was collected via questionnaires and interviews. Independent Samples T-Test results indicate significant differences in internal audit effectiveness and DA usage between high and low DA usage groups across the full sample and within ministries/institutions. Significant differences in DA usage are also found based on GISA effectiveness and independence across the full sample and within ministries/institutions, but not within local governments. Key motivations for DA use include improving FPD efficiency, and DA has shown to enhance anomaly detection and audit scope, with Microsoft Excel and Audit Command Language (ACL) as the most used tools. Findings suggest optimized DA use through expanded access, training, and tailored resource.

Published: December 2024

ACFE Indonesia 2019 shows that fraud can be found or detected within 12 months. This indicates that there are factors that prevent the fraud from being detected quickly, such as individual auditor factors that play a role in detecting the fraud. The novelty of this research is to focus on individual factors including auditor’s experience, independence, competence and personality type. This research is a quantitative study using surveys, with internal auditors, external auditors and KAP partners as respondents. Results of this study found that factors that greatly influence auditor’s ability to detect fraud are auditor’s experience, independence, competence. Meanwhile, personality has no influence on auditor’s ability to detect fraud. Results of this study can contribute to the association of public accountants in evaluating the criteria for expert auditors who are given permission to conduct investigative audits. It is expected that KAPs (Public Accounting Firms) will offer resources and opportunities to enhance the competence and independence of their auditors.

Authors: Rama Putra Ryan , Djuriatno Waru
Published: December 2024

Amplifier tabung vakum terkenal karena dapat mereproduksi suara gitar menjadi â€œhangatâ€ dan â€œlantangâ€. Hal ini disebabkan oleh karakteristik penguatan yang unik dari amplifier tabung vakum itu sendiri. Akan tetapi, teknologi tabung vakum memiliki kekurangan dalam hal efisiensi, ukuran, dan performa. Untuk itu, peneliti merancang dan mengimplementasikan wave shaper pada transistor dengan metode soft clipping, menggunakan sistem penguatan cascade dua tingkat dengan q-point yang berbeda di tiap tingkatannya. Sehingga rangkaian dapat menghasilkan karakteristik penguatan seperti amplifier tabung vakum yakni asymmetrical clipping dengan hard clipping pada siklus positif dan soft clipping pada siklus negatif, juga menghasilkan struktur distorsi harmonis berupa harmonis kedua dengan persentase 40%, harmonis ketiga dengan persentase 15%, dan harmonis keempat dengan persentase 18 %, serta persentase harmonis lainnya sama atau kurang dari 5%.

Design of Online Electric Power Monitoring For Street Vendors
Authors: Sri Rahayu Endang , Puteri Nurul Magfirah  , Reza Diharja
Published: December 2024

Street vendors are merchants who sell their goods on the sidewalk in front of shops or along the roadside. The common selling locations are typically on the front porch of a shop, and they obtain electricity by paying a rental fee to the owner. Owners of these shopfront spaces, providing the electrical supply, still employ conventional payment systems based on agreements between the owner and the user. The advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has begun to support automatic and more accurate power monitoring systems. The objective of this research is to develop an online power monitoring system for street vendors based on RFID sensors and Telegram. It relies on the ESP32 microcontroller as the control system and the PZEM-004T sensor to measure current, voltage, and total power consumption. The implementation results show a measurement accuracy level of 99.1% for voltage, 99.66% for current, 91% for power, and 100% for energy. Purchasing, recharging, and monitoring of electrical energy were successfully conducted through the Telegram Bot. Additionally, the Telegram Bot successfully sends alerts in case of power leaks and when the electricity token is running out. The error rate in the measurement and monitoring of electrical energy used in the system is 0%.

NASA’s explorer robot rovers were primarily famous for its capability of exploring the rough and unknown terrain of planet Mars. The main suspension system of the rover has been an attraction for robotic enthusiasts due to its simple yet effective design, the so-called rocker-bogie system. Since its launch, this suspension system has been further researched, explored, and developed for different purpose and area of application. This paper proposes the design and development of a robotic platform utilizing the mentioned capability of Mars rover to explore the uneven terrain of farming field usually found in local precincts. The proposed robot has 6, all-driven wheels. Using the six-wheeled driven robot platform, the proposed system is tasked to autonomously explore the farming field. It can be tasked for a variety of purposes, such as soil inspection, weather checking, general mapping, and sample extraction. A couple of prototypes are designed and built to evaluate the exploring capability, the sensor accommodation capacity, as well as the electrical and electronic required. Preliminary results show that the robot platform can perform well in roving uneven terrain and can accommodate a variety of sensors either placed inside its enclosure or placed on its robotic arm.

Published: December 2024

Selection of stable genotypes that interact less with the varying environment in which they are to be grown is required. The major objectives of the present study were to (i) assess the stability and yield performance of advanced Early maturing fodder Oat accessions evaluated in multiple environments, and (ii) identify stable high biomass yielding candidate cultivar(s) for possible release. A total of 19 fodders Oat accessions were evaluated against Dumant-2007 across four locations from 2022 to 2023 main cropping seasons. Randomized complete block designs (RCBD) with three replications were used. The AMMI analysis of variance for forage dry matter yield revealed highly significant (P<0.05) differences for days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, leaf to steam ratio, seed yield, thousand seed weight and dry matter yield. The findings revealed that the highest forage dry matter yield was recorded for genotype 5448 (21.6 t/ha) and genotype 5447(21.5 t/ha) respectively. The higher leaf to steam ratio was recorded from both genotype 5447 and genotype 5448. Numerically the higher seed yield was obtained from 5447 (32.6 qt/ha), whereas the lowest seed yield was produced from genotype 5460 (21.2 qt/ha). The analysis of chemical compositions showed significant (p<0.05) differences for CP parameters among tested genotypes. The highest (12.290%) CP content was recorded from genotype 5448 followed by genotype 5447 (11.963%) whereas the lowest (9.41%) CP was recorded from 5449. The analysis of variance for AMMI also revealed significant variation for genotypes, environment and genotypes by environment interaction. The sum of squares for the first two IPCAs cumulatively contributed to 90.2% of the total GEI. Generally the mean performance, yield and stability of genotype 5448 and genotype 5447 were high and stable across the tested locations. Therefore, genotypes genotype 5448 and genotype 5447 were recommended to be promoted to a variety verification trial for further evaluation and possible release.

Se concluye como desafío la necesidad de retomar propuestas formativas que contribuyan a desmontar la descolonización educativa en la universidad y en particular en la formación de profesores.
Universidad, Investigación y Educación popular
Authors: Carvajal Ruiz Samuel H.
Published: December 2024

La presente contribución propone reflexionar sobre la universidad actual, sus conflictos, tensiones y resistencias – alineamientos a las demandas corporativas, como parte de la “misión” de época de la institución universitaria en un contexto gobernado por la inercia neoliberal y la ofensiva neoconservadora – ultraliberal. En este escenario se revisan las posibilidades de la universidad de romper con esta lógica instrumental del mercado, de asumir un comportamiento transformador, transitando por otras políticas académicas y lógicas epistemológicas disruptivas, entre las que se encuentra el marco que auspicia a la educación popular. Aquí se interroga sobre si ¿Será que la tarea consiste en adaptarse a las nuevas dinámicas del capital y sus culturas? En el ensayo reflexiona sobre los sujetos políticos – sociales en general y de los sujetos pedagógicos de/en la universidad actual, en particular; considerando el tejido social y las bases sociales y tecno – políticas que sostienen el modelo para, con ello, indagar sobre la praxis de la educación popular en este contexto.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 39.4 ± 10.7 years. More than half (59.8%) were aged between 30 and 50 years and 18.6% were older than 50 years. The majority 90.4% resided in urban areas and 66.1% were university graduates. In addition, 75.4% had a family history of breast cancer. Regarding breast cancer knowledge and awareness, 31.9% of participants had adequate knowledge, 21.9% had moderate knowledge, and 46.2% had inadequate knowledge. There was a statistically significant association between participant’s knowledge and awareness and their age group, area of residence, and marital status. A highly significant association was observed between the participant’s knowledge and awareness and the participant’s education level and occupation. However, no significant association was found with having a family history of breast cancer (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study indicated that knowledge about breast cancer, including its causes, risk factors, and symptoms, was often inadequate. Consequently, it is imperative to support the development of community-based projects and programs that address these knowledge gaps in the general population. These initiatives should emphasize the importance of breast cancer prevention through various screening methods.

Objectives- Fate of STEMI  patients on optimum medical therapy who remains asymptomatic following MI within 24 hours ,electrically and haemodynamically stable regarding their clinical status , LV function, with totally occluded infarct related artery.
Methods-100 patients whose angiography  performed 3 to 28 days after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, showed total occlusion of the infarct-related artery with poor or absent ante grade flow,were put on optimum medical therapy in absence of contraindication and follwed up for 6 months.
Results- At  1st month among 100 patients 46 ( 46% ) patients were asymptomatic.43 (43%)patients were presented with shortness of breath on exertion (SOBE) and rest 11(11%)had both chest pain and shortness of breath. In subsequent visit at 6 months 46 % patients were asymptomatic and rest presented with SOBE, none of them presented with significant chest pain
Conclusion- In spite of optimum medical therapy patients with total occlusion of IRA and non viable myocardium developed progressive remodeling. Collateral flow is not adequate to prevent remodeling.Remodeling causes gradually progressive HF symptoms.If the patient has not developed new coronary lesion patients usually didn’t present with chest pain, shortness of breath was  predominant symptoms in follow up in this group of patients.
SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SYNTHETIC AND HERBAL MEDICATIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ALOPECIA
Authors: PRIYA BHAWARE  , PADMAJA KORE
Published: December 2024

Alopecia refers to the scientific word for diminished hair growth or balding. It describes a disease in which hairs falls off from one or more parts of your body, most commonly the scalp. Losing your hair might be triggered by a variety of factors, including hereditary traits, external factors, chemical exposure, medication, dietary insufficiency, chronic tension, or prolonged sickness, among others. Alopecia is categorized into different types depending upon its pattern of diminished hair growth and its genesis. The pursuit of effective treatments has led to the exploration of both synthetic and herbal medications. This study examines the performance, mechanisms of action, tolerability profiles, and limits of synthetic and herbal remedies for alopecia. Synthetic medications such as minoxidil and finasteride are commonly prescribed and have demonstrated varying degrees of success in clinical trials. However, concerns regarding adverse effects and long-term efficacy persist. Conversely, herbal medications, including saw palmetto, ginseng, and pumpkin seed oil, have gained popularity due to their perceived natural origin and potentially fewer side effects. Nevertheless, the scientific evidence supporting their efficacy remains limited and often inconclusive. Additionally, challenges in standardization and regulation pose significant barriers to the widespread adoption of herbal treatments. This study aims to provide healthcare professionals and patients with a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of synthetic and herbal medications for alopecia, highlighting the need for further research to elucidate their therapeutic potential and optimize patient outcomes.
EVALUATING THE USE OF A NEW BALANCED CRYSTALLOID SOLUTION (STEROFUNDIN) COMPARED TO RINGER’S LACTATE FOR PRIMING CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS CIRCUITS

Published: December 2024

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of using either Ringer’s lactate (RL) or a newer balanced crystalloid solution called Sterofundin (SF) as the priming solution for the heart-lung machine during and immediately after single heart valve replacement surgery.
Methods: The study included 260 patients bifurcated into groups of SF and RL. A pulsatile roller pump and a membrane oxygenator were used for cardiopulmonary bypass. The circuit was primed either with 500 mL of the balanced 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 plus 1000 mL of the RL or 1000 mL of balanced crystalloid solution SF.
Results: Significant differences were observed between SF and RL groups based on mean blood pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac index, mixed venous oxygen saturation, blood gas parameters, platelet count, and extubation hours.
Conclusion: Stable blood flow is key in heart bypass surgery. Fluid management is complex, and the ideal fluid type is debated. Colloids may help patients with weak hearts. Modern non-colloids are also safe. Research conflicts likely arise from study differences and researcher bias. This study suggests that both fluid types are useful, with colloids potentially better in certain cases. In addition, acetate solutions like SF were found to lower lactate levels. SF also maintains hemostasis, colloid oncotic pressure and reduced blood product requirement. Patient outcomes and intensive care unit stay were similarly affected by priming solutions.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 8-week supplementation with FEΔE (fenugreek seed extracts composition, standardized to 4-hydroxyisolecuine, trigonelline, and select glycosides) on endurance capacity in recreationally active young male subjects, in a randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled manner.
Methods: The 153 male participants were randomized equally into three groups and received either 300 mg or 600 mg of FeΔE capsules or a matching Placebo. Each participant performed endurance exercise training four times per week and visited the study center on the day of recruitment (baseline) and end of week-4, and week-8. The efficacy outcome measures were endurance (overall, cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic), power, work, physical and central fatigue, and stress, whereas safety outcomes were adverse events monitoring, compliance, and biochemical laboratory measurements.
Results: FEΔE supplementation (but not Placebo) showed statistically significant beneficial changes in overall (increased time to exhaustion and total distance run), respiratory (increased oxygen consumption), metabolic (increased metabolic equivalent and decreased non-esterified fatty acids levels), physical fatigue (decreased Wingate fatigue index), central fatigue (reduced visual analog score), and mental endurance (decreased mental domain score in the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form) during within the group (vs. baseline) comparisons. The safety outcome measures did not differ between the groups (FEΔE vs. Placebo).
Conclusion: Eight weeks of FEΔE supplementation in recreationally active participants resulted in comprehensive endurance enhancement, including respiratory, metabolic, and mental endurance. FEΔE supplementation was found to be safe without serious adverse events.
