Organizations and Economic Inequality
Authors: Haveman Heather A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Economic inequality has been rising for a half-century in most countries, in some cases to levels not seen since the eighteenth century. It has severe negative consequences for many aspects of social life: interpersonal trust, status competition, happiness, participation in civic and political life, crime and corruption, and health. It is shaped by the actions of organizations because they are the most powerful forces in modern societies: ubiquitous, often quite large and well-resourced, and highly institutionalized. While there is a large literature on the impact of organizations on inequality within organizations, that work mostly focuses on demographic categories like gender and race. Far less has been done to study how organizations shape economic inequality at the societal or global level. Here, I discuss three ways organizations that shape economic inequality: as employers, as policy-setters, and as buyers/sellers. I review the scant organizational literature on societal and global inequality, and offer several suggestions for future research on this critical topic.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The utilization of metamaterials plays a pivotal role in integrated photonics. The precise design of metamaterials enables them to finely manipulate light, resulting in an ultra-compact footprint and exceptional performance that cannot be achieved by traditional structures. The conventional methods for metamaterial design, however, encounter challenges from intricate targets. Although attempts have been made to apply inverse design to metamaterials, there is still a need for a highly intelligent, low-computation method, and easy-to-fabricate metamaterial structure. Here, we present an efficient methodology that combines metamaterials, heuristic algorithms, and machine learning to facilitate the rapid development of intricate devices. The method is used to design 1 × N power splitters with arbitrary power ratios, as an application example. Specifically, 1 × 2, 1 × 3, 1 × 4 power splitters with arbitrary ratios are fabricated and experimentally demonstrated. The application of this method in arbitrary power splitter highlights its appropriateness for the design and optimization within integrated photonics devices.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Gesture recognition plays a significant role in human-machine interaction (HMI) system. This paper proposes a gesture-controlled reconfigurable metasurface system based on surface electromyography (sEMG) for real-time beam deflection and polarization conversion. By recognizing the sEMG signals of user gestures through a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) model, the system dynamically modulates the metasurface, enabling precise control of the deflection direction and polarization state of electromagnetic waves. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves high-precision electromagnetic wave manipulation, in response to different gestures. This system has significant potential applications in intelligent device control, virtual reality systems, and wireless communication technology, and is expected to contribute to the advancement and innovation of HMI technology by integration of more advanced metasurfaces and sEMG processing technologies.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Semarang, the capital of Central Java, is one of Indonesia’s top trash producers and requires more sustainable and effective waste management. Even though environmentally friendly items have been introduced, plastic use in the city remains high, making it vital to examine human behavior in the AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) process to identify what influences the purchase of environmentally friendly products.

Aims
This study uses the AIDA approach customized with SEM-PLS to investigate consumer behavior toward environmentally friendly items in Semarang and identify purchasing decision determinants.

Research method
A purposive sample of 168 respondents from five Semarang sub-districts was interviewed online and offline for this structural equation model investigation. This quantitative and qualitative technique analyzes, interprets, and reports data using PLS 4 SEM.

Results and conclusion
Advertising, the AIDA Model, and environmental awareness affect buying. Consumer innovation boosts advertising and purchase but needs to be more awareness. Plastic waste in Semarang City is being reduced, but consumer innovation is needed to preserve the relationship between environmental awareness and purchase.

Contribution
In Semarang, plastic waste reduction has improved, but consumer innovation can lessen the relationship between awareness and green product purchases. These findings highlight the complicated relationship between consumer behavior and innovation, helping policymakers and industry actors design better green product procurement strategies to reduce waste.

Published: January 2025

Esophageal perforation is a rare but serious complication that can occur post-cervical spine surgery. This case report presents the clinical course, diagnostic challenges and management strategies of a patient who had a late-diagnosis esophageal perforation after anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS).A woman in her 50s underwent ACSS for cervical spondylosis. Three months postoperatively, she experienced persistent right neck and shoulder pain. Despite multiple consultations, an esophageal perforation was only diagnosed 10 years later when a neck mass ruptured, discharging food debris. Surgical management included removing the anterior cervical plate and reconstruction with a sternocleidomastoid muscle flap. Postoperatively, she faced wound complications, and the perforation failed to heal despite multiple debridement and stent placements. Ultimately, complete excision of the diverticulum, repair of the perforation and muscle flap reconstruction led to her recovery, with no recurrence over an 8-year follow-up.We reviewed the literature on cases with esophageal perforation occurring more than 10 years after anterior cervical surgery and summarized the treatment experiences.This case underscores the diagnostic challenges and delayed presentation of esophageal perforation post-ACSS. Early recognition and multidisciplinary management are essential. In cases of late perforation, hardware removal, diverticulum excision and a muscle flap are critical to achieving successful closure of the esophageal lesion, preventing recurrence and ensuring comprehensive repair. Addressing esophageal diverticula during perforation treatment is crucial to prevent recurrence and ensure thorough repair. This highlights the need for high clinical suspicion and a coordinated surgical approach to improve patient outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Bromage score is used in assessing patients post-spinal anesthesia while the patient is in the recovery room. Patients can be transferred to the treatment room from the recovery room if they have achieved a Bromage score of <2. Post-anesthesia recovery is significant to pay attention to because if there are obstacles in post-anesthesia recovery, it will cause some complications that the patient needs a long time in the treatment room. Several factors may be related to Bromage score, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status, age, gender, the dose of local anesthetic drugs, and other factors.
Methods: This type of research Observational Analytics used secondary data with a cross-sectional study design with 327 participants. Data analysis using coefficient contingency correlation test.
Results: The majority of 315 (96.6%) patients achieved a Bromage score of 1, with the highest number of patients aged (12-45 years). Patients with ASA physical status 1, a male and spinal anesthetic with a dose of Bupivacaine 10 mg – 15.5 mg achieved the most Bromage score 1. There was a significant relationship between gender and Bromage score in patients after spinal anesthesia, p-value = 0.048 (p-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between sex and the Bromage score, and there is no significant relationship between ASA physical status, age, and local anesthetic dose with the Bromage score.

Authors: Wardhani Puspa , Aryati  , Nur Chamidah  
Published: January 2025

Background: Microscopy imaging-based detection is the main component of the malaria diagnostic test. The healthcare technician’s skill and experience will influence the results of the malaria microscopy examination. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is another sensitive detection technique that can be used as a diagnostic tool. PCR methods can be based on the conventional method or Real-time PCR. Real-time PCR is said to be more sensitive than the conventional one. This study aimed to compare the performance of Malaria microscopic imaging, Conventional PCR, and Real-time PCR (abTESTMMalaria qPCRII) for detecting Plasmodium in human blood.
Methods: This research was a cross-sectional analytical study that successfully generated 150 specimens from November 2018 to June 2019. Blood samples were examined using microscopy imaging detection, RT-PCR, and conventional PCR. Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze the performance of each test, which was significant if p < 0.05.
Results: A total of 150 participants were recruited. Ninety-eight subjects were detected positive by microscopic method and then compared to RT-PCR and conventional PCR. Plasmodium vivax dominated the features of the subject in all three tests. The tests show several multiple infections, like double and triple infections, especially when done by RT-PCR (28.6%). Mann-Whitney analysis revealed the significant difference between microscopic detection and Real-Time PCR AbTes in detecting P falciparum (Pf), P vivax, and P malariae (Pm) (p<0.05). PCR Conventional and Real-time AbTes also differed significantly while evaluating Pm.
Conclusion: Real-time PCR (abTEST Malaria qPCRII) positivity was beyond microscopic imaging and conventional PCR. It also shows significant differences with another test detecting P falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, and P malariae.

Background: Glaucoma is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by glaucomatous optic neuropathy, including loss of retinal ganglion cells and axons. Optic neuropathy causes progressive vision loss and is managed by reducing intraocular pressure. However, even when the intraocular pressure has dropped to normal, the damage to the retinal ganglion cells may linger in certain situations. Thus, commence investigations on natural sources such as neuroprotection to prevent the loss of retinal ganglion cells.
Methods: This literature review compiles and elaborates on previous studies to support future experimental studies that will be conducted to comprehend the effect of intravitreal Resveratrol as a glaucoma treatment to prevent the loss of retinal ganglion cells.
Results: Resveratrol is a naturally occurring phenol and phytoalexin detected in the skins of grapes and berries like raspberries, blueberries, and mulberries. Resveratrol inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis as well as lengthens the life span of nerve cells via multiple mechanisms. Resveratrol treatment can reverse the progression of apoptosis, preserve mitochondrial membrane potential by reducing caspase-3, and inhibit cytochrome-C release, enhancing cell survival, as shown in many previous studies. Before the systemic administration of resveratrol in eye disease, it is necessary to consider the presence of the blood-ocular barrier—about 10 out of 35 eyes detected resveratrol in the conjunctiva after oral trans-resveratrol supplementation. Several studies have administered intravitreal injections of resveratrol to increase intraocular resveratrol concentrations.
Conclusion: Resveratrol may be utilized as an alternative adjuvant treatment for glaucoma due to its antioxidant and antiapoptosis properties.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The role of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced colorectal cancer (LACRC) has been increased the overall survival. We must consider the benefit and disadvantage of neoadjuvant therapy for LACRC, otherwise window for surgery diminish in progressive disease. The growth of the tumor requires neoangiogenesis, and more aggressive the cancer, more active the angiogenesis. Micro Vessel Density (MVD) is the result of angiogenesis. In our simple thought, the tumor with rich vascular has better chemotherapy response due to enhance chemotherapy drug’s delivery. But the preclinical and clinical studies report that vascularity of the tumor is unlike normal tissue, tumor vascular is leaky and tortous, hence the interstitial fluid pressure increase, resulted in ineficiency of chemotherapy and oxygen delivery. This study aims to determine whether MVD beneficial as predictor of chemotherapy response in LACRC.
Methods: Fifty-one patients underwent colonoscopy biopsy and diagnosed with LACRC. The patient underwent abdominal CT scan for staging. They were treated with neoadjuvant FOLFOX (leucovorin, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin) and then underwent abdominal CT scan for evaluation chemotherapy response. The response of chemotherapy assessment based on RECIST criteria which classified into progressive disease, stable disease, partial response and complete response. MVD was examined using endothelial marker CD31 from the paraffin block from biopsy colonoscopy specimen
Results: A total of 51 patients enrolled in the study, 27 (52.9%) responded to chemotherapy. The chemotherapeutic response was partial response in patients with well-differentiated pathological grade, but not statistically significant (n =20 (39.3%), p-value = 0.556, p >0.05). The MVD CD31 ranges between 7 – 82, the mean is 31.04, low MVD is identified in 25 patients and high MVD is identified in 26 patients. In this study, no significant correlation was recorded between gender, staging TNM, histologic grading, location of lesion and accuracy of chemotherapy and response of chemotherapy, the p-value is 0.809, 0.156, 0.298, 0.556, 0.573, and 0.259 respectively. There is no statistically significant correlation between MVD and response to chemotherapy (OR: 0.92; CI 95%: 0.30-2.79; p = 0.991)
Conclusion: Pre-treatment CD31 micro-vessel density could not be used to predict neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in LACRC.

Introduction: Chronic radicular lumbosacral pain or CRLP is a unilateral or bilateral subjective sensation in the median or paramedian lumbar and/or sacral area radiating down to the leg of the involved nerve roots. Lately, it has been treated using epidural triamcinolone injection, but has limited measurement in pain scale and degree of disability. HMGB-1 has been considered to have a significant role in the chronicity of LBP. This study aims to determine changes in levels of the inflammatory biomarker HMGB-1 associated with clinical outcomes of CRLP after epidural triamcinolone injection.
Methods: This was an experimental study using a single-blind randomized control trial design, measuring changes in the degree of pain and disability using the pain scale and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) and analyzing HMGB-1 protein levels. Serum HMGB-1 was analyzed using the ELISA method. 57 participants were involved in the study and were divided randomly into 2 groups. Normalization of data distribution was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test; the outcome in each group were tested using the independent T-test and comparison of changes was tested using the Mann-Whitney U test; The correlation direction and strength between clinical outcomes and biomarker levels were tested using the ANOVA and multiple linear regression.
Results: The measurements of HMGB-1 protein levels before and after intervention in patients with CRLP pain showed a significant decrease in serum HMGB-1 on day 7 and was more significant in the intervention group. In comparative measurements of clinical outcomes measured by the pain scale and ODI before and after intervention, it was found that improvements in pain scales and disability scores were measured on the 7th day; this reduction was more significant in the intervention group.
Conclusion: There was an improvement in the clinical outcome after epidural triamcinolone administration was analyzed from serum HMGB-1 protein levels.
