Security and freedom: A complex alliance
Authors: de Tienda , Vega Huerta
Published: June 2023

The concepts of security and freedom have long had an antagonistic
relationship in the political sphere. Since Plato wrote his Republic,
authors such as Machiavelli, Hobbes and subsequent contractarians have
understood that some limitations on individual freedom were necessary for
the sake of collective security. This paradigm has since been inherited by
different thinkers and is key in most political theory proposals. Following
this path, Todorov has analyzed the current geostrategic situation as a
result of the milestone of the Iraq War of 2003, in order to shed light on
strategies that should be pursued to achieve international security of the
contemporary new world order. However, his approach follows the conceptual
framework of previous authors, which therefore prevents him from integrating
the freedom required by contemporary Western democracies with international
security. In this article, we intend to provide an alternative perspective,
addressing the problem from a multidimensional conceptualization of security
and freedom.
A first attempt at a provenance study in the Jadar block (Serbia) by means of U-Pb zircon geochronology
Authors: Löwe Georg , Prelevic Dejan , Ustaszewski Kamil
Published: June 2023

U-Pb geochronology of zircon grains retrieved from magmatic rocks intruding the Jadar block terrane in the central Balkans is used here to add new constraints on the terrane accretion processes and the provenance of crustal sources of this potentially exotic crustal block. Using an unorthodox approach, we analyzed zircons extracted from the products of Cenozoic (Cer and Boranja granitoid massifs) and Triassic magmatism (Bobija andesitic tuff - Pietra Verde). In fourteen samples of granites and epiclastites, we analyzed about 600 grains, and of these, about 30-40% were derived from the basement and were used further for the geological interpretation. Most samples show a similar Precambrian and Paleozoic age spectrum, including ubiquitous Neoproterozoic and well-defined Silurian-Ordovician populations. Only a few older zircons are present, composing minor populations at c. 1.2 Ga and 3.2 Ga. The younger zircons represent a ubiquitous Triassic population that is the strongest in all samples. This age population is most likely associated with local Permo-Triassic magmatism generated due to the opening of the Neotethys. In contrast to the magmatic rocks of Boranja and Bobija, the zircon age spectrum of the Cer polyphase pluton shows a strong Carboniferous peak, indicating a potentially important link to the Variscan margin of Eurasia. This supports opposing interpretations that either this part of the Jadar block terrane represents a southern continuation of the ?Bukkium? and Sana-Una terranes comprising displaced fragments of the southern European Variscan foreland, or, more likely, that it has an Adria affinity and that these zircons are derived from Cretaceous sediments of the Sava Zone, i.e., the suture that separates European and Adriatic domains, which were assimilated during the intrusion of the Cer granitic magmas.
Methods of functional zoning of protected areas for development of ecological tourism
Authors: Astanin Dmitry
Published: June 2023

The influence of territorial structures on the formation of functional zones
in protected areas is analysed. The need to identify spatial combinations of
the most valuable elements of the territorial structure is formulated. The
zone configuration is determined by areal, linear and single territorial
structures. These are also components of specialized frames. Influence on
the location of functional areas is produced by: environmental framework
(reserves, specially protected areas, educational tourism zone, protected
area); eco-cultural frame (area of protection of historical and cultural
objects, area of traditional nature management); natural recreational frame
(recreational area, area of visitor services, especially protected area);
transport frame (economic area and area of visitor services). Currently,
research in the field of spatial development of ecotourism territories is
fragmentary. Therefore, there is a need to develop a theoretical model of
urban development of ecological tourism territories, the spatial
organization of which should be based on the principle of active prevention
of environmental violations in the development of recreational activities.
Changes in the ethnic structure of the population of AP Kosovo and Metohija settlements 1948-2022
Authors: Milosavljevic Sasa , Medojevic Jovo , Valjarevic Aleksandar
Published: June 2023

AP Kosovo and Metohija is a unique geographical area in Europe, during which
the most complex demographic processes, caused by: political conflicts, the
NATO bombing of 1999, and took place during the 20th century and the first
decades of the 21st century: killing, ethnic cleansing, persecution and
segregation of the population. Since June 1999, about 220,000 people were
displaced from Kosovo and Metohija. Most of them were Serbs, followed by
non-Albanian populations: Montenegrins, Gorans, Roma and Ashkali. The mass
persecution of the Serb and other non-Albanian populations has resulted in
tremendous changes in the ethnic structure of the Province. Previously,
heterogeneous settlements became ethnically homogeneous with a dominant
Albanian population. With 93% of the total population Albanians is
dominated, while other ethnic communities have a participation of 7%.
Decomposition of the recent increase in the labour force participation rate in Serbia
Authors: Gligorijevic Vera , Knezevic Aleksandar , Bakic Damjan
Published: June 2023

The present work decomposes the recent increase in the labour force
participation rate into two factors: the contribution of the age
composition, and the contribution of the age- and sex-specific labour force
participation rate. After a whole decade of stagnation, the labour force
participation rate in Serbia has increased by 10% between 2012 and 2021,
which opened the question of the deterministic basis for an in-creased
economic activity in case of population that is aging and declining in size.
For the purpose of decomposition, the method of overall rate decomposition
has been used, which is considered to be the preferred standardization
method. The results have shown that both the age composition as well as the
age-specific labour force participation had a positive effect on the
increase in overall economic activity. The effect of the age-specific
labour force participation rates was significantly higher, contributing to
more than 76% of the overall change, whereas the age composition resulted in
only 22% change (25% change in case of male population, and 21% in case of
female population). These findings shifted the research focus from aging
population, as the key determinant of the labour force participation rate,
towards the factors affecting the increase of specific age-related activity
rates, but also towards the need to investigate the importance of other
specific activity rates (apart from the age- and sex-related ones).
Individual Self versus Collective Self: Performance Measures for Academics in a Collectivist Culture
Authors: Mai Kate Thuy , Hoque Zahirul
Published: June 2023

This article examines how an individual-level academic performance measurement system interacts with the collective self in a collectivist cultural context. The qualitative study of a Vietnamese public university involved 53 interviews, participant observations, and document analysis. The findings show that performance measurement systems in the university produced both an autonomous self and a collective self. They do so by measuring individual performance and suggesting that individuals are autonomously responsible and able to influence such performance. Thus, although a performance measurement system is typically imposed by others (which shows one’s dependence on others and subjection to their power), the nature of the performance measurement system is such that it promotes individual actions and a sense of individual performance. Therefore, people feel they have control over “their” performance. However, while trying to control such performance, they depend more on others whose recognition appears to link with such performance measurement systems.

Does Regulatory Reform of Internal Controls in China Improve Internal Control Effectiveness? Role of Corporate Social Responsibility Engagement
Authors: Lin Yi-Hung , Huang Ting-Chiao
Published: June 2023

The regulatory reform of internal controls (ICs) in China mandates that certain firms incorporate corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement into ICs and issue IC reports. Using a staggered difference-in-differences research design, we find that IC effectiveness has worsened following this reform, but this deterioration is partially mitigated when mandated firms report their CSR engagement. Additional analyses demonstrate that this deterioration is further lessened when CSR reports are prepared in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative reporting guidelines or assured by external auditors and when firms spend more on CSR activities. Finally, cross-sectional analyses suggest that CSR engagement mitigates the deterioration in IC effectiveness more in non–state-owned enterprises and in firms that have better financial performance, lack political connections, or are located in regions with higher market development or social trust.

Ultrasound-Guided Maxillary Nerve Block and Superficial Cervical Plexus Block During Surgery for Maxillary Malignancy: A Case Report
Authors: Yamaguchi Atsuki , Kojima Yuki , Hirabayashi Kazuya
Published: June 2023

We report a case of ultrasound-guided craniocervical nerve blocks performed with ropivacaine for perioperative local/regional anesthesia in a patient who underwent right partial maxillary resection and neck dissection under general anesthesia. The patient was an 85-year-old woman with multiple medical comorbidities in whom analgesia using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids was expected to increase the risk of postoperative complications. Bilateral ultrasound-guided maxillary (V2) nerve blocks and a right superficial cervical plexus block were performed, which provided adequate perioperative anesthesia and avoided postoperative complications. The use of ultrasound-guided craniocervical nerve blocks with ropivacaine can be an effective approach for providing prolonged perioperative local anesthesia and analgesia, minimizing the need for other potentially problematic analgesics.

Published: June 2023

Oncological diseases are one of the leading health problems both in the world and in Kazakhstan, second only to cardiovascular diseases. Hepatocellular carcinoma occupies the 8th place in the structure of oncopathologies, has an unfavorable prognosis and an unfavorable course. According to the WHO, more than 1.3 million people die each year from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The incidence rate of HCC in Kazakhstan is up to 5.5 cases per 100 thousand of the population, and the mortality rate remains high (about 1000 people annually). In 2017, 82.3% of HCC patients died before the end of the year. Five-year survival in HCC does not exceed 18%, and postoperative recurrence is about 50%.
Spectrum of lower urinary tract symptoms in the women attending gynecological OPD in a tertiary care hospital in Northeast India
Authors: Debbarma Sourish , Mohanty Subhakant , Paul Gopa
Published: June 2023

Aim: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) are common conditions seen in women of all ages and by clinicians of nearly all specialties. The prevalence of LUTS has been measured by numerous epidemiological studies around the globe. However, there are insufficient data from India, particularly among women consulting gynecology clinics. This observational study was conducted to determine the proportion of LUTS among women attending the Gynecology OPD.

Material and methods: For the evaluation, a standardized, pretested, structured, and scored Bristol LUTS questionnaire containing sociodemographic information and a clinical history of LUTS symptoms has been utilized. The symptoms of LUTS were classified as storage, voiding, and stress symptoms. Each response received a score between 0 and 4. Patients were categorized into no/minimal LUTS (score1–7), moderate LUTS (score8–19), and severe LUTS (score>20). In our study, 48% of women attending the Gynecological OPD had LUTS. Age and vaginal delivery had a significant influence on the incidence of LUTS.

Results: Despite the high prevalence of LUTS, few patients in our study spontaneously reported symptoms of LUTS. This underreporting may be due to a lack of awareness as well as social stigma. Many consider these symptoms to be a normal part of the ageing process, especially in postmenopausal women.

Conclusion: Although all of the patients we have identified are based on the evaluation of a symptomatic questionnaire, a urodynamic study should be conducted to determine whether or not these women have different types of LUTS.
Proposed Marketing Strategy of Green Jet Fuel or Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for Pertamina Post Development of Biorefinery Plant
Authors: Gunawan Wahyu , Aprianingsih Atik
Published: June 2023

PT Pertamina is one of Indonesia's national energy companies that focuses on handling all the country's energy business. Indonesia through Pertamina has developed 3,000 Bbl/day of Biorefinery plant in Cilacap that will produce SAF or Green Jet Fuel as main products. The demand for SAF will keep increasing in the future. It is estimated that by 2030, SAF demand will reach up to 7 billion gallons or 5% of global jet fuel demand. The demand for SAF is driven by airline industry that wish to decarbonize themselves because aviation industry contributes 2.5% of global carbon-dioxide emission. Global organization like ICAO and IATA push aviation industry to meet net zero emission by 2050 and encouraging airlines to use SAF. The objective of this research is to develop marketing strategy for SAF product of Pertamina. The conceptual framework is important to design business strategy to have acceptable choices that are suitable for the organization. Both external and internal analysis will be conducted for this study. For the external analysis, this research will use PESTEL Analysis, Industry Analysis, Competition Analysis, and Consumer Analysis. While the internal study will make use of Segmenting, Targeting, Positioning (STP), Marketing Mix and Resource and Capability. In the first stage, internal and external factors will be assessed. In the matching stage, alternative strategies will be developed using the TOWS (Threats, Opportunities, Weaknesses, Strengths) Matrix. Finally, the final analysis will use the QSPM (Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix) to assess the viability of each of these alternative strategies. Based on QSPM there are top five strategies feasible to be implemented which are increase production to fulfil the rising demand, strengthen ties with domestic and foreign airlines and initiate marketing campaign, build strong relationships with feedstock suppliers and make long term contract, expand global presence by collaborating with international companies and expand capability to sell products to export, and focus on developing domestic market and cementing SAF business in domestic.
TPS-Genetic Algorithm for Real-Time Sailing Route Planning based on Potential Field Theory
Authors: Zhuang Xinqing , Zhuang Siqing , Su Dongmei , Du Sheng , Liu Yihua
Published: June 2023

Real-time route planning is always a difficulty in maritime traffic. Route planning must take into account the complex meteorological environment. Route planning based on meteorological environment real-time update is the basis of route feasibility. Based on potential field theory, this paper proposes a TPS - Genetic algorithm for real-time route planning of sailing ships. On the basis of genetic algorithm, combined with the characteristics of route planning, the turning point sorting operation is added to improve the calculation efficiency, and further improve the real-time performance of route planning. Simulation experiments are established and compared with A* algorithm. The experimental results show that the potential field theory can accurately express the dynamic changes of Marine meteorology, and the path planned by TPS - Genetic algorithm is more suitable for real-time navigation environment. TPS - Genetic algorithm can be applied to ship navigation system, which can further adjust the potential energy base and plan routes according to the needs of shipping companies.
Protection Of Intact Forest Landscapes In Russia: Role Of Government, MarketDriven And Buyers’ Restrictive Approaches
Authors: Ptichnikov Andrey , Dunn Alexander
Published: June 2023

Leading environmental organizations recognize intact forest landscapes as priority areas for conserving forests. A quarter of global intact forest landscapes (IFL), are found in Russia, and since 2000, the country has lost over 7,5% (or 21 million ha) of its IFLs due to logging, forest fires and road construction. With the projected logging rates Russia’s IFLs will completely disappear in 150 years, and IFLs that are “rich” in timber will do so in 50 years. Protection of IFLs is the serious challenge, not only due to associated biodiversity loss, but also due to outstanding carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation role of IFLs.

 The objective of this research is to define the key drivers and factors and to examine how government and market-driven approaches contribute to the preservation of intact forest landscapes in Russia. A further objective is to assess the merits of consumers restriction measures, such as phase-out of IFL product purchases, as proposed by some environmentalists.  According to our research, voluntary forest certification (market-driven approach) was the main tool for IFL protection in Russia until recently. A market-driven FSC voluntary certification scheme includes moratoria agreements to preserve almost 3 million ha of IFLs. Additionally, between 2010 and 2020 more than 770 thousand ha of IFLs were established in two national parks and three nature reserves in North-West Russia with the primary goal to protect IFLs, mainly in former FSC “no logging” zones. Market-driven approach is currently the main tool used to protect IFLs in Russia.

Authors: Sabaydash Marina Vladislavovna
Published: June 2023

The main regularities of the development of commercial seaports in 1956-1972, during the period of extensive growth of the USSR economy, are determined. This period is characterized by a high average annual growth rate of port cargo turnover, the level of which will not be reached before the collapse of the USSR. A comparison is made between the cargo turnover of Soviet ports and US ports. A quantitative assessment of the influence of the course of the Soviet leadership on the extraction and export of natural resources in the global distribution of labor on the development of seaports has been carried out. The growth of the foreign trade cargo turnover of the USSR is studied in comparison with the growth in the volume of transshipment of export and import cargoes in seaports. A significant increase in the volume of export cargo transshipment in Soviet ports was revealed, and an analysis of its dynamics and structure by type of cargo and sea basins was carried out. A comparison was made of the growth rates of the cargo turnover of seaports, the volume of freight traffic by rail, inland waterway, sea transport, the pumping of oil and oil products. The growth of cargo turnover of seaports and the growth of production volumes of industries and agriculture, the products of which formed the basis of the cargo base of maritime transport, were studied. The dynamics and structure of the cargo turnover of seaports by sea basins, by types of cargo, by types of transportation have been studied. A quantitative assessment of the growth in the cargo turnover of sea basins at the expense of ports in the annexed territories based on the results of the Second World War was carried out. The dynamics of cargo turnover and the specialization of the largest ports of the USSR, their role in the implementation of the plans of the Soviet leadership to expand the export of natural resources are studied.
Analysis of market indicators and prospects for online education development in segment of massive open online courses
Authors: Vinnik Alina Evgenievna , Pryadko Svetlana Nikolaevna
Published: June 2023

The article presents the results of a study of the dynamics of the online education market in the segment of massive open online courses (MOOCs), on the basis of which it was concluded that citizens of various countries are highly interested in these resources and the prospects for its further growth. Despite the significant annual growth of the global e-learning market, it is the COVID 19 pandemic and the further transition of universities to distance learning that have become the main growth drivers for the MOOC segment. The results of a number of studies made it possible to conclude that today, both among students and teachers, there are not only positive, but also negative reviews about the practice of using MOOCs in the educational process of universities, which is confirmed by statistics - a low level of student involvement in course topics, as well as low completion rates for massive online courses. The relevance of the use of neuromarketing tools for conducting cognitive research in order to obtain information about the neurophysiological reactions that occur in students in the course of online learning using MOOCs, which is necessary to improve its efficiency and effectiveness, is substantiated. Neuromarketing tools, including eyetracking, make it possible to monitor the behavior of students when using online platforms in order to identify their reactions to the content of educational content and determine the next directions for improving MOOC elements, and as a result, increasing student motivation, involvement and academic performance.
Directions of implementing digital logistics technologies and services in international supply chains on energy market subject to their renewability
Authors: Wang Xiuying
Published: June 2023

The article formulates the prerequisites for the introduction of digital logistics technologies and services in the energy market, which consist in a high level of competition and tariff pressure, require the search for new opportunities to reduce capital and operating costs. The state and interstate regulation of the energy market, which manifests itself in the adoption of strategic trade and political decisions, requires the development and implementation of market mechanisms for the adaptation of supply chain participants and the creation of new economic ties. A customer-oriented approach to the design of supply chains in the energy market defines the introduction of digital technologies and services to create a more comfortable customer environment: increased transparency and ease of use, interconnection with other services, cheaper energy. There are defined the main directions of the introduction of digital logistics technologies and services. It is revealed that the differences in the design of supply chains in the energy market, taking into account their renewability, are based on the object of material flow management. In the supply chains of non-renewable energy sources, the object of management is resources (coal, oil and petroleum products, gas and gas chemistry products, etc.) and processes aimed at their exploration, production, processing, transportation, storage and consumption. In the supply chains of renewable energy sources, the object of management is the generated electric energy, as well as equipment and technologies for its production and storage – turbines for nuclear and hydroelectric power plants, wind generators, solar panels, storage devices for storing electric energy, etc. It has been inferred that certain digital logistics technologies and services in international supply chains on the energy market will take place subject to the resource renewability.

Makna Ayat-Ayat Teguran Terhadap Nabi Muhammad SAW (Studi Analisis Surat Ali Imran: 128, Al-Anfal: 67, Al-Taubah: 43, dan Al-Kahfi: 23-24

Nabi Muhammad Saw merupakan seorang yang memiliki budi pekerti dan akhlak yang agung. Pujian ini telah dinyatakan oleh Alquran dalam surah al-Qalam ayat ke 4. Disisi lain, Alquran juga menyajikan ayat-ayat lain yang berisikan teguran untuk sang Nabi. Terdapat 8 poin teguran Allah untuk Nabi Muhammad Saw dikarenakan kekeliruannya dalam mengambil keputusan. Hal ini tentunya menimbulkan pertanyaan, bukankah Nabi Saw seorang yang memiliki sifat maksum? Artikel ini akan mengkaji hubungan antara kemaksuman Nabi Saw dengan ayat-ayat teguran. Dalam artikel ini penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif-deskriptif. Pada akhirnya, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa ayat-ayat teguran untuk Nabi Muhammad Saw tidaklah menggugurkan kemaksuman yang dimilikinya. Alasannya, karena Nabi Saw memiliki kedudukan (maqam) spiritual yang tinggi. Sehingga tatkala melakukan tindakan yang kurang tepat, maka hal itu akan terlihat di mata orang awam sebagai sebuah kesalahan. Selain itu, ayat-ayat teguran merupakan pembelajaran baru bagi Nabi Muhammad Saw dan juga untuk ummat Islam.

Dari sekian banyak kitab tafsir yang disusun oleh para mufassir, Tafsir Lubab al-Ta’wil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil yang lebih populer dengan sebutan Tafsir al-Khazin karya Ala ‘al-Din Abu Hasan, Ali Abu Muhammad ibn Ibrahi ibn Umar ibn Khalil alsyaikhi al-Baghdadi al-Syafi’i al-Khazin (678-741 H) memang cukup menarik untuk dijadikan kajian. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa kitab tafsir al-Khazin karangan Abul Hasan Ali bin Muhammad bin Ibrahim Asy-Syihi Al-Baghdadi dan kitab tafsir al-Alusi karangan Abu Sana’ Syihab al-Din al-Sayyid Mahmud Afandi al-Alusiyang ditafsirkan secara lengkap tiga puluh juz. Kitab ini wajar diberi perhatian secara mendalam apakah ke dua kitab tafsir ini juga dipengaruhi oleh kisah-kisah Israiliyyat atau tidak. Kitab tafsir al-Khazin adalah merupakan ringkasan dari kitab tafsir Madarik al-Tanzil wa Haqaiqi al-Takwil karya Abdullah Ahmad ibn Mahmud al-Nasafi (w. 710). Tentu saja, dapat dipastikan rujukan utama adalah kitab tersebut. Metode yang digunakan oleh al-Khazin adalah metode tahlili. Sumber penafsirannya mayoritas menggunakan tafsir bil-Ma’tsur. Al-Khazin menafsirkan al-Qur’an berdasarkan urutan surah mulai dari surah al-Fatihah sampai dengan al-Nas.  Ketika menafsirkan al-Qur’an, mufassir seringkali dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan tempatnya dan latar belakang keilmuannya. Oleh sebab itu, para mufassir yang memiliki latar belakang sebagai ahli sejarah akan larut menjelaskan al-Qur’an dari aspek kesejarahan

Authors: Nabil Amir Ahmad
Published: June 2023

Kajian ini membincangkan pengaruh paham kontekstual dan sosio-historis dalam penafsiran teks al-Qur’an oleh Muhammad Asad. Ia menunjukkan penafsirannya menekankan landas rasional dan saintifik dalam interpretasi teks yang dibawakan dalam tafsirnya The Message of the Qur’an. Kepentingan latar sejarah dan sosio-budaya ini digariskan dalam tafsir dan nota penjelasannya yang ekstensif. Metode kajian bersifat deskriptif dan analitis dari jenis kajian kualitatif berasaskan analisis kandungan. Sumber penelitian diperoleh dari bahan rujukan bersifat primer dan sekunder dan sumber dokumentasi lain yang terkait. Dari penelaahan ringkas terhadap karya tafsirnya ia mendapati manhajnya terkesan oleh aliran tafsir yang berhaluankan mazhab al-Manar yang bercorak al-adabi al-ijtima‘i (sastera-budaya) yang menekankan pemahaman kontekstual dan sosio-historis dan dasar etika-hukum sebagai premis dan metodologi asasnya dalam penafsiran, yang memberi pengaruh yang signifikan dalam pertumbuhan aliran saintifik dan rasional dalam pemikiran tafsir mutakhir.
Analisis Surat al-Anfal Ayat 17: Upaya Mengungkap Sisi Transendental Hermeneutika Double Movement
Authors: Qudsia Miatul
Published: June 2023

Kajian terhadap Al-Quran dengan sudut pandang kontesktual kian terus berkembang. Salah satu tawaran yang hingga ini terus ditelaah dan diaplikasikan adalah teori double movement yang digagas oleh Fazlur Rahman, dan dikembangkan oleh Abdullah Saeed. Teori double movement sangat menitikberatkan konteks sosio-historis Al-Quran dan masa sekarang. Untuk menjembatani antara dua masa tersebut, maka seorang peneliti harus secara peka mengambil makna dari ayat yang dikaji atau yang disebut dengan ideal moral. Dengan demikian, makna dari tujuan diturunkannya ayat Al-Quran tersebut akan tetap tersampaikan hingga kapanpun. Obyek dari pengaplikasian double movement memang ayat-ayat hukum, sehingga menghasilkan ideal moral yang sifatnya nyata atau konkret. Namun, dalam penelitian ini, peneliti menemukan bahwa double movement tidak hanya menghasilkan ideal moral yang sifat konkret tapi juga transendental. Ayat yang dikaji adalah ayat perang, surat al-Anfal ayat 17. Sehingga, dihasilkan bahwa Ideal moral yan bersifat konkret dari ayat ini adalah dibolehkan bahkan diharuskan mengambil jalur peperangan jika sudah dalam keadaan darurat dan tertekan. Seperti, adanya tekanan, pendiskriminasian dan lain sebagainya yang menyebabkan ketersiksaan. Dan, ideal moral yang bersifat transendental adalah harus adanya sikap tawakal dan ikhtiar dari setiap muslim. Bahwa Allah dapat menjadikan nyata setiap apa yang dianggap mustahil oleh manusia.

The intensity of online learning impacts students' self-confidence in solving problems, their ability to interact with other people, and even their achievements. This study aims to examine the correlation between self-efficacy, social skills, and students’ grade point average (GPA) through a correlational method with an explanatory design and using questionnaires and interview sheets. The sample was taken randomly, totaling 55 students of the elementary school teacher education program at one of the state universities in Purwakarta, Indonesia. The findings show a correlation between student self-efficacy and the Grade Point Average; there is a correlation between social skills and GPA. When self-efficacy and social skills separately increase, the GPA will increase and vice versa. In addition, there is no correlation between student self-efficacy and social skills. Moreover, there is no correlation between self-efficacy and social skills simultaneously with the GPA. When self-efficacy and social skills increased, it was not confident that the GPA would increase. Self-efficacy and social skills have an impact on one's achievement. Therefore, the interactive and easily accessible online learning development is needed.

Abstrak:

Intensitas pembelajaran online memberi dampak pada keyakinan diri mahasiswa dalam memecahkan masalah, kemampuanya dalam berinteraksi dengan orang lain, bahkan prestasinya. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk mengkaji hubungan antara efikasi diri, keterampilan sosial, dan Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK) siswa melalui metode korelasional dengan desain eksplanatori dan menggunakan instrumen angket dan lembar wawancara. Sampel diambil secara acak yang berjumlah 55 mahasiswa program studi pendidikan guru sekolah dasar di salah satu perguruan tinggi negeri di Purwakarta, Indonesia. Temuan menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara self-efficacy mahasiswa dengan Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif, adanya hubungan antara keterampilan sosial mahasiswa dengan Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif, sehingga ketika self-efficacy dan keterampilan sosial mahasiswa secara terpisah meningkat maka indeks prestasi kumulatif mahasiswa akan meningkat dan sebaliknya. Selain itu tidak adanya hubungan antara self-efficacy mahasiswa dengan keterampilan sosial sehingga ketika self-efficacy meningkat atau menurun maka tidak dapat dipastikan keterampilan akan menunjukkan hasil yang sama. Serta ditemukan tidak adanya hubungan antara self-efficacy dan keterampilan sosial secara bersamaan dengan Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif mahasiswa. Self-efficacy dan keterampilan sosial berdampak pada prestasi seseorang. Oleh karena itu, pengembangan pembelajaran online interaktif dan akses mudah diperlukan.
China and Africa: A new narrative on debt sustainability and infrastructure financing
Authors: Wang Yan , Xu Yinyin
Published: June 2023

Strategic and collective efforts are needed from both the creditors and borrowing countries facing the looming debt crisis, with a full understanding of what are good debts and what are bad debts depending on how they are used. The current narrative on debt sustainability often ignores the issue of what a government owns (assets) versus what a government owes (liabilities). While conventional approaches largely focus on the liability side, the kinds of assets a country tries to build are vital to economic development and debt sustainability. This paper proposed a new narrative on debt sustainability and thoughts on infrastructure financing under the circumstance of debt restructuring. The empirical part of the study presented both the conventional and a novel method to investigate the role of completed infrastructure projects, co-financed and jointly built by China and African countries, focusing on whether and to what extent they have addressed infrastructure bottlenecks. Both methods validate the hypothesis that China-financed and completed projects match the host country’s most backward sectors and address their development bottlenecks. These completed projects form a part of a country’s public operational assets that generate essential social services, jobs, government revenues, exports and growth.
El metiloma de la ARN-N6 -adenosina y su relación con el cáncer

Published: June 2023

La N6-metiladenosina es una de las modificaciones más comunes en el ARN y participa de forma crucial en la expresión de determinados grupos de genes. La adición de esta modificación quí- mica es llevada a cabo a través  de un complejo proteico denominado metiloma y más específicamente   a través de las ARN-N6-metiltransferasas, presentando funciones claves en importantes procesos celula- res encuadrados dentro del metabolismo del ARN como por ejemplo la estabilizando o degradación de ARN mensajeros (ARNm) o promoviendo la traducción de determinados ARNm. De este modo, la función o la falta de función de estas proteínas han sido relacionadas con diferentes tipos de cánceres y su agresividad.
