This program produces digital financial reports based on pivotable Excel spreadsheets and well-documented BUMdes asset inventory data.
Discoursing the use of complementary therapy for cancer care in Indonesia: A perspective
Authors: Rinihapsari Elisa , Widianarko Yohanes Budi , Utami Margaretha Sih Setya
Published: June 2022

The use of CAM in Indonesia is relatively high, but this method is still considered a second-class treatment. There are still many modern medical practitioners who have not accepted this method as a method of treatment that can be accounted for. This article attempts to explain why complementary-alternative medicine continues to develop and why it needs to be widely proposed as a treatment method of choice, in addition to modern medical treatment. Conventional medical medicine or modern medicine and complementary-alternative medicine have different philosophical foundations, so imposing an assessment using biomedical methods to prove the efficacy of CAM seems less appropriate. Suppose evidence of efficacy is required for CAM to be accepted. In that case, it seems that research methods with qualitative and anthropological approaches should be chosen that provide more space for individual experiences in the use of CAM.

Правовий режим «Дія Сіті» як фактор залучення інвестицій
Authors: TYSHCHENKO Yuliia
Published: June 2022

Вступ. Цифрові галузі значно випереджають за темпами зростання та капіталізації традиційні сфери економіки. Кожна держава намагається створити сприятливі умови для заохочення та розвитку новітніх виробництв як факторів високо­ефективної, конкурентної інноваційної економіки. Проблема. Одним з кроків розвитку цифрової економіки в країні є належне правове забезпечення інвестиційних проєктів у цій сфері. Метою статті є виявлення та осмислення змісту правового режиму «Дія Сіті» в контексті сприяння інвестиційній діяльності у сфері цифрової економіки. Методи. Методологічною основою обрано сукупність загальнонаукових і спеціальних методів наукового пошуку: діалектичний, системно-функціональний, порівняльно-правовий. Результати дослідження. Визначення пра­вового режиму «Дія Сіті» в Законі України «Про стимулювання розвитку цифрової економіки в Україні» звужене та обмежує його дію тільки правовими нормами, що визначають права та обов’язки, пов’язані з резидентством «Дія Сіті». Деякі загальні засади, на яких ґрунтується правовий режим «Дія Сіті», суперечать іншим правовим нормам вітчизняного законодавства. Позитивниму контексті заохочення інвестицій є положення щодо самоврядування резидентів «Дія Сіті», а також застосування спеціального режиму оподаткування. Відносини між резидентом «Дія Сіті» та праців­ником можуть оформлятися спеціальним гіг-контрактом, який не є трудовим контрактом. Висновки. Закон створює стимулюючі та заохочувальні умови для залучення інвестицій у сферу технологій та інновацій, проте деякі його положення потребують вдосконалення.
A Comparison Study for The Performance of Polyethersulfone Ultrafiltration Mixed Matrix Membranes in The Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Aqueous Solutions
Authors: Abdulameer Haider Nezar , Al-Jubouri Sama M.
Published: June 2022

Polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membrane blending NaX zeolite crystals as a hydrophilic additive was examined for zinc (II) and lead ions Pb (II) removal from aqueous solutions. The effect of NaX zeolite content on the permeation flux and removal efficiency was studied. The results showed that adding zeolite to the polymer matrix enhanced the permeation flux. The permeation flux of all the zeolite/PES matrix membranes was higher than the pristine membrane. No significant improvement was observed in the removal of Zn (II) ions using all prepared membranes as the removal percentage did not raise above 29.2%. However, the removal percentage of Pb (II) ions was enhanced to 97% using a membrane containing 0.9%wt. zeolite. Also, it was found that this membrane has a higher ion exchange capacity than the other prepared membranes. Two isotherm models (Langmuir model, and Freundlich model) were employed in the analysis of the ion exchange equilibrium data. The experimental data best fitted the Langmuir model with R2 of 0.889 than the Freundlich model.

With the growth of sea freight, as well as cargo operations at sea, in particular the transfer of cargo in difficult climatic conditions, there is a need for automated systems. Such systems can compensate for the disturbing effects of the rolling of ships and allow the safe transfer of cargo on the high seas. One such system is an automated cargo receiving platform located on the receiving vessel. To assess the feasibility of its construction and efficiency of work, a physical model of an automatic stabilized platform has been developed using micromechanical measuring systems that ensure its stabilization in the horizontal plane. In the course of building the model, its functional and kinematic diagram was developed. The problem of processing the received «raw» data from microelectromechanical sensors: a gyroscope and an accelerometer has been solved. Control algorithms are constructed using a PID controller in the program code, as well as a complementary filter for combining accelerometer and gyroscope readings. The work of the model is to keep the platform in a horizontal plane; regardless of the movement of the base (the vessel on which it is installed). The created model showed high efficiency, fast response, positioning accuracy. The stabilization system developed on the basis of the simulated one is capable of working in difficult conditions, ensuring safety when loading on the open sea. Based on the developed model of the automatic stabilized platform, the adaptive output control algorithms were tested.

Authors: A. Asnawi  , Aman L.O. , Nursamsiar  , A. Yuliantini  , E. Febrina
Published: June 2022

Melanocytic tumors are a type of cancer that is most commonly found on the skin. The melanoma prevalence rate has risen dramatically over the last 50 years. As a result, the discovery of new therapeutic agents is critical. The BRAF kinase is one of the receptors involved in cell apoptosis. Dabrafenib is a selective BRAF inhibitor with common side effects such as rash, photosensitivity, and hyperkeratosis. Meanwhile, Acalypha indica is a plant that has been widely reported as a source of antiproliferative and proapoptotic compounds. However, the phytochemicals in A. indica that play an important role in melanocytic tumors have yet to be discovered. Molecular docking is a structure-based drug design method that is used to identify potential hits during the drug discovery process. The aims of this study are to obtain candidate lead compounds for BRAF kinase based on binding mode interaction and binding stability by using AutoDock 4.2 and GROMACS 2019.6, respectively, for molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD). The native ligand, SM5, has estimated free energy of binding and an inhibitory constant of -5.93 kcal/mol and 45.30 µM, respectively. 2-Methyl anthraquinone, chrysin, stigmasterol, and γ-sitosterol have higher binding energy, with an estimated free energy of binding of -6.24, -6.67, -6.35, and -6.14 kcal/mol, respectively. According to the MD simulation, stigmasterol and γ-sitosterol will be more effective at stabilizing the 6XFP complex during 100 ns. Finally, stigmasterol and γ-sitosterol are potential lead compounds as BRAF inhibitors.

Кaliningrаd Oblast’ Image In Migrants’ Narratives
Authors: Shchekoturov Aleksandr
Published: June 2022

The image of a region is an interdisciplinary research subject both at the international level of analysis and in domestic works there features conceptually contradictory approaches and the need for sociological support vs results obtained. This article aims to demonstrate theoretical and methodological value and empirical potential of the research object - the Kaliningrad oblast’, information about which is formed mainly from the mass media due to its special territorial location. The subject of the research is reproduction of images of the Kaliningrad region in the discursive consciousness of two social groups for which information about the region is directly incorporated into social practices: immigrants and emigrants. Research methods: content analysis of media publications and in-depth interviews. Through the Medialogia platform, the entire universe of Russian media reports about the region 2014 through 2020 was downloaded (N = 7000), the sample consisted of 2577 publications. In-depth interviews with immigrants (n = 45) and emigrants (n = 15) were analyzed via program Atlas.ti. The structure of the information field of the Kaliningrad region is described. In the group of immigrants the dominant image of the Kaliningrad region is a tourist attracting region of international cooperation. The image of a tourist region with a developing infrastructure prevails in the group of emigrants. It is concluded that there is a high potential for interdisciplinary research of the region's image, by which we propose to understand the system of recursive constitution and reproduction of images (ideas) and social practices (relations), depending on the type of resources (information sources) used and the social group of actors (target audience).
In The Quiet…, Between People…: Silence As A Subject Of Sociological Study
Authors: Podvoyskiy Denis , Spirkina Anastasia K.
Published: June 2022

The article justifies the original conceptualization of silence as a social phenomenon using the cognitive-methodological tools of the theory of practices and the sociology of everyday life. Various interpretations of «silence» that can be found in social and humanitarian texts are directly related to the forms of use of the word «silence» in everyday language. Often they borrow from the latter not only the very understanding of this phenomenon, but also the mysteriousness and illogicality surrounding silence, which do not satisfy the researcher who seeks clarity. The concept of «silence» is often used as a metaphor, that poeticizes and mystifies the discourse about it. Following silence through the labyrinths of everyday and literary language turns into talk about the «silence of nature», God, hearts, places and spaces, the «silence of peoples» and societies and other «fantastic» forms of silence that are understandable only intuitively, but not amenable to direct scientific study. The concept of silence as a practice, according to the authors, is able to return the conversation about it to a more «dense» empirical level and show how here and now in the world of everyday life people can be silent in typical socially organized situations.
Does Gender Inequality Matter in Employment? A Content- and Consistency-Based Analysis of Female Labour Participation in the Nigerian Civil Service
Authors: Jerry Sankay Oboh , Zarina Othman , Andrew Jia Yi Kam , Sufian Jusoh
Published: June 2022

Abstract The impact of gender inequality on female employment cannot be overemphasised due to its detrimental effect on women’s well-being, empowerment, development and progress. This study investigated gender discrimination issues women face and classified the impact on female labour participation in the civil service. The study administered semi-structured interview questions to 27 civil servants in Nigeria that were conveniently selected, and used a content-and consistency-based analytical technique to analyse the civil servants' subjective experiences, opinions, and perceptions. The findings suggest that gender inequality impacts negatively on women’s employment with systemic gender disparity issues having a higher consistency rate and significantly known among the civil servants than individual-driven gender disparity issues. The study recommends that the government enact and effectively implement policies that will eliminate systemic gender inequalities, which will eliminate or marginally reduce individual-driven gender inequalities.
Classifying Operational Events in Cable Yarding by a Machine Learning Application to GNSS-Collected Data: A Case Study on Gravity-Assisted Downhill Yarding
Authors: Borz S.A. , Cheta M. , Birda M. , Proto A.R.
Published: June 2022

Cable yarding remains an important option in steep terrain timber harvesting, a reason for which new or improved operational efficiency models are required to support science and practice. Developed traditionally, these models are known to require many resources, a reason for which new approaches to the problem were researched lately, mainly by the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data, and spatial and statistical inference systems. This study evaluates the possibility of using GNSS data and machine learning techniques to classify important cable yarding events in the time domain. Three classes were assumed by the study as being relevant for cable yarding operational setup, namely carriage moving in the uphill (MU) and downhill (MD) directions, as well as carriage stopped (S). Data collected by a consumer-grade GNSS unit was processed to extract some differential parameters which were coupled with GNSS motorial and geometric features to feed a Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network with Back propagation (MLPNNB) in a pre-evaluation phase which aimed at mining the data structure as a strategy to develop the best MLPNNB configuration for training and testing. Leg distance, difference in elevation, speed of the carriage, and difference in heading were used together and interchangeably in this phase, based on logical assumptions. As a result of pre-evaluation, a MLPNNB using all these datasets was found to be the best scenario. Based on this outcome, the data was split into a training (70%) and a testing (30%) subset, then the MLPNNB was used to learn and generalize on these subsets. The main results indicate that the MLPNNB had an excellent performance, with a classification accuracy of 98.7, 98.4, and 98.8% in the pre-evaluation, training, and testing phases, respectively. Log-loss errors were also found to be very low (5, 5.9, and 4.1%, respectively), indicating a high generalization capability of the MLPNNB model. Based on the results, the main conclusion of the study is that original and derived GNSS data coupled with machine learning techniques could prove to be an important tool for operational monitoring and cable yarding efficiency model development, mainly due to the possibility of working with large amounts of data.

The article analyzes the peculiarities of black pine reproduction and identifies the most promising methods of propagation for the territory of Vinnytsia city (Ukraine). Having analyzed the germination capacity of the black pine seed material, we found that the percentage of seed germination ranged from 38% (courtyards) to 70% (“Podillya” botanical garden). Examining the duration of black pine seedlings emergence, we found that in almost all objects of the city the largest number of seedlings were established on the 7th day (about 35 pcs.), then the process declined, and the smallest number appeared on the 13th day (about 5-7 pcs.). Studying the black pine propagation by cuttings, we found that when fed with two different rooting stimulants, the best result was obtained with the application of Korenevin (48 pieces), and a slightly lower acceptance rate was demonstrated with the use of Epine (about 34 pieces).

Published: June 2022

The objects of this study were to assess the knowledge and attitude toward using personal protective equipment (PPE) among 307 farmers who own rubber wood plantation in Southern Thailand. The data were collected by using questionnaires and then the descriptive statistics were analyzed using the SPSS program. The results showed that 187 farmers were male (60.9%) and 105 farmers (34.2%) were 41-50 years old. 120 farmers (36.5%) graduated from primary education. More than half of the farmers have an average monthly income lower than 500 U.S. dollars and 148 farmers (48.2%) handle rubber wood plantation of 1.61-3.20 hectares. The results concerning the farmers’ knowledge of PPE demonstrated that 222 farmers (73.31%, x ̅ = 86.05, S.D. = 15.13, P≤0.01) had a good level and most farmers know that long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wing caps can protect the body from scratches and exposure to sunlight. Indeed, 220 farmers (71.66%) showed a moderate attitude level of PPE use and farmers agreed that they do not need to cover their mouths and noses while fertilizing or spraying pesticides due to using a small amount of chemicals. However, the overall attitudes of the participants in using PPE is concerned with the fact that it can protect users from accidents, animals, mosquitoes, and insects. These results should enable the development of a PPE handbook for rubber farmers who need to serve their plantation following the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Published: June 2022

There is a growing expectation for the iconic statue to emerge as a tourism icon, particularly in Bali, Indonesia; following the completion of the Garu-da Wisnu Kencana Statue in 2018. Therefore, this quantitative study was car-ried out to answer the two key research questions; Are potential tourists aware of the presence of this new landmark after the development and whether there is an influence on motivation to visit, particularly for foreign tourists? The study was conducted using an online survey that was sent to 80 foreign tourists from all around the world. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents in this survey were uninformed of the statue's presence, and that if they were aware of its presence, it had an impact on their desire to visit Bali. This makes it critical to raise public awareness about the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue, which located at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park in Bali, Indonesia and suggested that the presence of Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue can be op-timally used as a significant marketing tools by Indonesian Ministry of Tourism. Theoretical implications include summarizing the key elements of a tourism destination with a tourism icon that attracts potential tourists. Practical implica-tions include presenting measurement on steps to maximize the presence of a tourism icon with a variety of expectations from potential tourists.

Published: June 2022

Incorporating healthcare data from different sources is crucial for a better understanding of patient (sub)populations. However, data centralization raises concerns about data privacy and governance. In this work, we present an improved infrastructure that allows privacy-preserving analysis of patient data: vantage6 v3. For this new version, we describe its architecture and upgraded functionality, which allows algorithms running at each party to communicate with one another through a virtual private network (while still being isolated from the public internet to reduce the risk of data leakage). This allows the execution of different types of algorithms (e.g., multi-party computation) that were practically infeasible before, as showcased by the included examples. The (continuous) development of this type of infrastructure is fundamental to meet the current and future demands of healthcare research with a strong emphasis on preserving the privacy of sensitive patient data.

Authors: Joseph Amanda L. , Monkman Helen , Kushniruk Andre W. , Borycki Elizabeth M.
Published: June 2022

On March 11, 2020, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the highly infectious virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19), was characterized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global pandemic [1,2]. Due to its highly contagious nature, COVID-19 has catalyzed the introduction of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing and quarantine measures [6]. Thus, the pandemic has shifted society to become reliant on healthcare technologies. The objective of this scoping review is to establish what health informatics interventions have been applied, validated and tested globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings demonstrated a range of 12 types of health informatics interventions with various global applications and use. As evidenced by the intervention heterogeneity, the necessity to adopt a global cohesive strategy to improve human safety through the utilization of smart, efficient, and communicable technologies is vital.

Authors: Kuusisto Hanna , Apila Seija , Saranto Kaija
Published: June 2022

The patient as an active participant in decision-making has become an important resource in health care. Shared decision-making (SDM) relies on the patient’s easy access to reliable and evidence-based health care information as well as the availability of patient-generated data, such as values and preferences for the health care professional (HCP). The aim of the present pilot study was to evaluate what type of information people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) use in the SDM process, and what are the sources of that information. A semi-structured web-based survey of SDM was conducted through the MS-society in Finland. The results are presented against the Ottawa Decision Support Framework. A total of 27 pwMS participated. We found that all the participants wished to be involved in the decision-making process, but that they seldom found the information provided by HCP to be helpful. Instead, they searched the internet and visited various conversation platforms in social media, such as Facebook groups, for additional information.

European and International cities face crucial global geopolitical, economic, environmental, and other changes. All these intensify threats to and inequalities in citizens’ health. The implementation of Blue-Green Solutions in urban and rural areas have been broadly used to tackle the above challenges. The Mobile health (mHealth) technologies contribution in people’s well-being has found to be significant. In addition, several mHealth applications have been used to support patients with mental health or cardiovascular diseases with very promising results. The patients’ remote monitoring can be a valuable asset in chronic diseases management for patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension or arrhythmia, depression, asthma, allergies and others. The scope of this paper is to present the specifications, the design and the development of a mobile application which collects health-related and location data of users visiting areas with Blue-Green Solutions. The mobile application has been developed to record the citizens’ and patients’ physical activity and vital signs using wearable devices. The proposed application can also monitor patients physical, physiological, and emotional status as well as motivate them to engage in social and self-caring activities. Additional features include the analysis of the patients’ behavior to improve self-management. The “HEART by BioAsssist” application could be used as a health and other data collection tool as well as an “intelligent assistant” to monitor and promote patient’s physical activity.

. In the beginning of 2020, states imposed to the state of emergency as a "last mean" in establishing control. This was preceded by an exceptional case - the rapid spread of the SARSCoV-2 virus (or COVID-19), which disrupted the existing consensus in the sociopolitical dimension, forcing the state to turn to the institution of the state of emergency to normalize the situation. Taking into account the prevalence of the state of emergency during the pandemic, the approach of Carl Schmitt was considered, a well-known German political philosopher, the state of emergency theorist. Referring to the categorical apparatus provided by him in the works "Dictatorship" and "Political Theology", the features of establishing a state of emergency in Kazakhstan were studied. The key challenges facing the state during the introduction of a state of emergency were identified, among which are the issues of legality, compliance with the ideal, efficiency. The analysis shows that the state of emergency in 2020, in terms of the approach of Carl Schmitt, not only met with no objections among the population, but also confirmed the role of the President as the Sovereign in the political and philosophical sense.

The whole world knows that with the closure of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site, Kazakhstan was the first in the world to refuse nuclear weapons. By its unprecedented decision, which has no analogs in the world, the Republic of Kazakhstan has earned the moral right to demand the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons throughout the world and call upon the states that are members of the nuclear club to make the same decision. The article presents the results of deep scientific research of literature and scientific articles on the activities of Kazakhstan in the field of general disarmament and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, which made it possible to present an overall picture of the current state of the problem. The ban on nuclear weapons testing has become global. During 30 years of struggle for a nuclear-free world, Kazakhstan has been doing a lot of work on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons throughout the world. The following initiatives allow all countries, regardless of their political, economic, and military capabilities, to participate in the discussion and resolution of the critical issues involved in abandoning nuclear weapons and developing projects for the peaceful use of atomic energy. The materials of this article can be used for further scientific research of Kazakhstan's position on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, as well as for conducting classes with students and cadets on the disciplines "Modern History of Kazakhstan" and "Political Science".

The article deals with the formation of the Young Turk movement, which at the end of its path was able to overthrow Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and its influence on the national liberation movement of the Kazakh intellectuals. Although most studies of the Young Turks, their leaders, adherents, and philosophy are based on secondary sources, memoirs, periodicals, and newspapers should not be overlooked. Economic challenges and modernizing processes that occurred in the Ottoman Empire in the middle of the 19th century contributed to the people’s political and cultural awakening. Because of the empire’s declining influence because of military setbacks, the concepts of “nation” and “pan-Turkism” began to arise. The Young Turks were the political heirs of the “new Ottomans” at the end of the 19th century. Their resistance was founded on a distinct interpretation of the term “nationalism”. Young Turks mostly came from France and other European countries where they received their education. As a result, they were impacted by Western scientific, cultural, and lifestyle standards. Westernization, “pan-Turkism”, and modernization were the three pillars of their political agenda. The Young Turk movement came to a logical end in July 1908, when they asked that Sultan Abdul Hamid II reinstate the constitution, which he had destroyed in 1876, and assemble a parliament 32 years after it was established. Following it, the country’s political life became more intense, and different reforms began to be implemented, yielding some favorable consequences. Their experience and influence inspired the Kazakh intellectuals to fight for national liberation.

The article examines the factor of science and technology in the theories of international relations from classical paradigms, political realism, and liberalism/neoliberalism to modern concepts of social constructivism and science, technology, and society STS at the interface with international relations. On the one hand, researchers recognize the importance of this factor, especially against the background of increasing globalization, in the modern era of rapid development of information and communication technologies and universal digitalization. On the other hand, there is a gap in the academic literature in the theoretical understanding of the mutual influence of science, technology, and international relations. The relevance of the topic is due to conceptualizing theoretical approaches in the context of the problem of Kazakhstan's integration into the global scientific space. As a result of the analysis, one of the most acceptable concepts reflecting modern trends in the interdependence and interdependence of science, technological innovations in society, and international relations, in the opinion of the authors, is an interdisciplinary field - science and technology in society. Based on the prospects for further integration of Kazakhstan into the international academic community, at the initial stage, such an approach involves the establishment and expansion of interdisciplinary ties both in scientific research and in the development and implementation of state projects and programs in the field of science and technology in the Republic of Kazakhstan
