Uncovering Economic Growth Dynamics: The Role of Idiosyncratic Risk
Authors: Asri Marselinus 
Published: November 2024

Research Originality: This study provides a new perspective on the dynamics between foreign direct investment (FDI), idiosyncratic risk, and economic growth in ASEAN countries using structural equation modeling (SEM). It contributes to the literature by highlighting the nuanced role of idiosyncratic risk in shaping regional economic outcomes.Research Objectives: The study aims to examine the direct and indirect impacts of FDI inflows, idiosyncratic risk, and sectoral variables (manufacturing, agriculture, and services) on economic growth in ASEAN from 2013 to 2023.Research Methods: The study uses data from the ASEAN Statistical Database and applies SEM to estimate the relationships between these variables.Empirical Result: The main findings indicate that FDI inflows have minimal impact on idiosyncratic risk, as evidenced by regression coefficients below 0.001 for inward and intra-ASEAN FDI. In contrast, idiosyncratic risk significantly impacts economic growth. The results also reveal that sectoral variables such as manufacturing, agriculture, and services exhibit weaker associations with economic growth.Implications: This information suggests that policymakers should focus on exploiting idiosyncratic risk to improve economic development, while acknowledging the limited direct impact of FDI on risk management, thereby debating more appropriate strategies to promote sustainable economic growthJEL Classification: A11, E60, H11

Authors: Djauhari Haikal , Rahmawati Rahmawati , Al Arif Muhammad Nur Rianto 
Published: November 2024

Research Originality: The adaptive market hypothesis, which is a new way to test capital market performance that reconciles the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) with behavioral finance, is the focus of our research. Our study's novelty lies in testing the efficiency of the Islamic capital market in six Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Thailand, over different periods: before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.Research Objectives: We aim to delve into its application in the Islamic capital market, which has seen significant growth in recent years.Research Methods: We employed the variance ratio test, the ARIMA model, and the Elman neural network to test efficiency.Empirical Result: Our findings revealed that the efficiency of sharia indices in these countries was not constant over the three periods, thereby supporting the existence of the adaptive market hypothesis.Implications: The results of this study are not only important for academic discourse but also offer practical applications for investors to refine their investment strategies, engaging the audience in a discussion on Islamic capital market efficiency.JEL Classification: G02, G14, G15
Depreciation and Trade Balance: An Exploration of the J-Curve Phenomenon in Indonesia
Authors: Mashilal Mashilal , Pambudi Rakhmat Dwi 
Published: November 2024

Research Originality: Global economic uncertainty has increased in recent years, leading to an appreciation of the US dollar relative to most global currencies, including the Indonesian rupiah. The novelty of this study is the inclusion of natural resource commodity price index variables, given the importance of these commodities in Indonesia's balance of trade.Research Objectives: This study aims to examine the effect of rupiah exchange rate depreciation on Indonesia's trade balance.Research Methods: This study uses a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to analyze Indonesia's balance of trade from January 2015 to December 2023, examining the potential J-Curve phenomenon resulting from the depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah.Empirical Result: Findings from the impulse response analysis suggest that the J-Curve phenomenon is present in Indonesia's balance of trade as a result of the rupiah's depreciation. The results of this study also confirm the positive effect of increasing natural resource commodity prices on Indonesia's trade balance.Implications: The implication of these findings is that exchange rate depreciation can improve Indonesia's trade balance only when natural resource commodity prices are rising. Conversely, if commodity prices decline, maintaining the stability of the rupiah exchange rate becomes crucial.JEL Classification: F11, F14, F31, Q02

Published: November 2024

OBJECTIVE
Pediatric early warning systems identify patients at risk for deterioration. We aimed to determine if a locally adapted pediatric early warning system [KK hospital early warning score (KEWS)] can distinguish patients who require transfer from general ward to high dependency unit (HDU) or PICU, from those who do not.

METHODS
We conducted a retrospective case-control single-center audit. All unplanned general ward to PICU/HDU transfer from January to December 2021 were included as cases. We collected KEWS at the time of transfer and at 2, 4 and 6 hours prior to transfer. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression with imputation analysis were performed to identify variables associated with unplanned PICU/HDU transfer.

RESULTS
There were 784 patients (196 cases and 588 controls). Median age of cases and controls were 3.3 (interquartile range: 1.0–9.7) and 3.9 (0.8–11.3) years, respectively. At the time of transfer, median (interquartile range) KEWS for cases and controls were 3 (0, 4) and 0 (0, 1), respectively (P &lt;.001). At all timepoints, KEWS was able to distinguish between children who did and did not require transfer to HDU/PICU (At time of transfer: area under the curve = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.75–0.85, P &lt;.001). After adjusting for age, category of admission, frequency of ordered monitoring, KEWS predicted HDU/PICU transfer with an odds ratio of 2.34 (95% CI 1.82 to 3.00, P &lt;.001).

CONCLUSIONS
KEWS was able to distinguish patients requiring transfer from GW to HDU/PICU from those not needing a transfer.

Herein, we report for the first time the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using leaf extracts of Chaenomeles Lindl. (Rosaceae) plants and its spectral characteristics, as well as antifungal and antibacterial activity. Phytosynthesis of silver nanoparticles on the base of aqueous plant extracts and silver nitrate solution was carried out by an ecofriendly and cost-effective approach. UV-Vis spectroscopy was applied to validate the plant-mediated biosynthesis of AgNPs colloidal solutions by the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) bands in the region of 450–500 nm, characteristic of polycrystalline silver nanoparticles. Scanning microscopy (SEM) revealed a wide variation in range 5–58 nm and a close to spherical shape of plant-derived AgNPs. Raman scattering spectroscopy revealed the suitability of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles as the substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy with the highest efficiency of AgNPs, biosynthesized from leaf extract of Ch. × superba, which enhanced the Rhodamine 6G dye applied at a concentration of 10–7 M. Assay of antifungal activity performed by well diffusion method revealed the dose-dependent effect of all AgNPs against the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium culmorum. The most effective AgNPs (Ch. speciosa-AgNPs, Ch. cathayensis-AgNPs, and Ch. japonica-AgNPs) achieved a 1.42–1.63 times greater zone of inhibition of the F. culmorum colonies’ growth compared to the corresponding doses of the known chemical fungicide "Quadris". Micro preparations of the zones of incomplete growth inhibition presented changes in the mycelium morphology of F. culmorum due to the action of nanoparticles, such as deformation (curvature, expansion), and a decrease in the hyphae length and density compared to the control sample. Disc-diffusion assay showed notable species-specific antibacterial activity of AgNPs both against Gram-negative (Klebsiella pneumoniae) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) strains. Summarizing, the results indicate the undeniable suitability of aqueous leaf extracts of the genus Chaenomeles species for the successful biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with many useful properties, whose diverse applications require further research.

Published: November 2024

Cockroaches, especially those living in forest litter and feeding on foliage, have been consuming plants for millions of years. Can secondary metabolites of plants affect the parasite-host system and successfully treat the cockroaches’ parasites gregarines and nematodes? In our experiment, 204 Blaberus craniifer (Blattodea, Blaberidae) cockroaches consumed the standard diet supplemented with medicinal plants in a dose of 10% of the general fodder mass, particularly, plants of the families Acoraceae (Acorus calamus), Papaveraceae (Chelidonium majus), Rosaceae (Potentilla erecta), Juglandaceae (Juglans regia), Fagaceae (Quercus robur), Brassicaceae (Capsella bursa-pastoris), Hypericaceae (Hypericum perforatum), Gentianaceae (Centaurium erythraea), Lamiaceae (Origanum vulgare, Salvia officinalis, Thymus pallasianus), and Asteraceae (Achillea millefolium, Arctium lappa, Artemisia absinthium, Matricaria chamomilla, and Tanacetum vulgare). With age (i.e. gaining body mass), the intensity of infestation of cockroaches with female and male nematodes Cranifera cranifera significantly increased. The multifactor dispersion analysis found no significant effect of the number of parasites (two gregarines, Blabericola cubensis and Protomagalhaensia granulosae, and one nematode, Cranifera cranifera) on the rates of changes in body mass of the cockroaches during the experiment. Also, there was observed no effect of the number of parasites on the rates of cockroaches’ food consumption. The rates of body-mass gain during the experiment were closely associated with the initial body mass of the cockroaches: the larger the cockroach was in the beginning of the experiment, the greater the increase in its body mass later in the experiment. None of the three species of B. craniifer parasites that we studied significantly changed their numbers when subject to 10% dry medicinal plants in the hosts’ fodder, compared to the control group of cockroaches that did not consume the medicinal raw material. Intake of none of the 16 species of medicinal plants we tested led to significant changes in the rates of body-mass gain in the cockroaches. Compared to the control group, the experimental groups of cockroaches had no significant changes in the fodder consumption rates. Our experiment demonstrated that the cockroaches, together with their parasites, are substantially adapted to the influences of secondary metabolites of the 16 medicinal plants that we studied, although, in their natural range they had most likely never encountered any of those plants. Therefore, on the one hand, the considered parasite-host system was observed to be very balanced, the host being minimally harmed, and on the other hand, secondary metabolites of the plants had no significant effect either on the parasites (two species of gregarines and one species of nematodes) or on their hosts even in the highest tested concentrations (10% of the fodder mass).
Protection of Family Values in Russian Law: Questions of Theory and Practice
Authors: Ryzhenkov Anatoly 
Published: November 2024

Introduction: at the moment, Russia is further developing the concept of traditional values, which include family values. Nevertheless, a number of regulatory and protective norms are already aimed at solving this problem, which requires doctrinal research and reflection. There are also a number of controversial issues related to the formation of a mechanism of guarantees for the protection of family values, including economic, political, as well as spiritual and moral guarantees. The purpose of the study is to reveal the features and possible directions of legal regulation for the development of the family values system in Russia. Methods: the analysis method made it possible to identify the main features of the category “family values” and its relationship with “traditional values”; the synthesis method was used to generalize the typological features of the family legal categories used in the paper; and the analogy method made it possible to identify practical features of ensuring the protection of family values in Russia. The comparative law method allowed studying the foreign experience of protecting family values, which can be used for the development of Russian family legislation. Using the formal legal method, a number of features and specifics of the statutory regulation of the protection of family values were identified. Results: despite the lack of normative consolidation, a number of political and legal acts defining the main directions of state family policy, as well as the norms of federal laws containing rules of conduct based on family values and measures of their legal support, are devoted to the protection of family values. It seems advisable to amend Article 1 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation with a new principle dedicated to the protection of family values, which will make it possible to more clearly fix this vector of state policy. The implementation of this principle will take place both through legal means and through the use of economic, political, spiritual, moral, and other ways to influence the behavior of participants in public relations. Conclusions: at the moment, the Family Code of the Russian Federation and other laws contain regulatory and protective norms dedicated to the implementation and protection of the family rights of citizens of the Russian Federation. Family values are realized in them by creating conditions for marriage, regulating property relations in the family, determining the grounds and procedure for collecting alimony for children and other family members, and protecting legally free children. The protective norms are devoted to the prohibition of family violence and propaganda of homosexuality, the adoption of measures to curb the evasion of child support payments, etc.

Background: The proper processing of fruits and vegetable-based food products will improve appearance, taste, bioactivities, and preservation. Freeze-dried (FD) or lyophilization of foods extends shelf life and preserves food's nutritional value and bioactivities. The objective of this study is to compare the antioxidant properties, nutritional value, and vitamins of fresh fruit-vegetables and the combined FD product. Methods: A combination of fruits (mango, papaya, star-fruit, guava, banana, bengkuang), and vegetables (cucumber), called “Miss Freezy” were cleaned with an ozonizer and processed using the lyophilization method. The antioxidant activities measured included 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) assay. While the proximate analysis measured was the determination of water content, ash content, fat content, protein and carbohydrate content, and vitamin C. Results: The value of antioxidant activity in fruit-vegetable combination FD products was higher than in fresh fruit. The median inhibition concentration (IC50) of DPPH, ABTS, and H2O2 scavenging activities were guava 48.74 µg/ml, guava 128.39 µg/ml, and banana 155.55 µg/ml, respectively. The results showed that the water content of fresh fruits, and vegetables was greater than FD products and inversely proportional to the level of ash, fat, protein, carbohydrates, and vitamin C lower than FD products. Conclusions: Based on the results of antioxidant activities, proximate analysis and vitamin C of the FD product was higher than fresh fruits and vegetables. The FD fruit-vegetable combination product can be used as an alternative snack product that is practical and healthy.

Published: November 2024

Background: Food security in communities can prevent health complications, so investigators have made efforts to find its related factors through various fields. This study aims to draw a road map for nutrition and food security research in Iran. Methods: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Islamic World Citation Center were searched for eligible publications in nutrition and food security related to Iran for the two decades from 2001 to 2020. Content analysis was done by a co-word network technique using VOSviewer software. Results: Finally, 28,995 scientific publications among 50,444 search results were eligible to include in this study. The research map was drawn using 403,262 keywords obtained from the title and abstract of the papers. A 23.53% growth rate of publications was seen. Iranian articles were mainly published in scientific journals under 10 subject categories. The highly repeated keywords of "treatment", "plant", "age", "risk", and "consumption" were in publications. Moreover, the articles were categorized into thematic clusters of "environmental and climate change", "health ", "food industry and food safety", and "agriculture and water resources management" which were related to nutrition and food security. An increasing trend was observed in the number of publications during the past two decades in Iran. Conclusion: The relation of clinical nutrition, malnutrition, diet, and in recent years, food production and climate change with food security have been extensively studied by Iranian researchers. However, they have neglected studies on public health and policy in food and nutrition security, which reveals their dominant clinical or agricultural approach.

Published: November 2024

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the most prevalent dyslipidemia disorders. This study investigated the demographic and lifestyle characteristics of patients with FH referred to a dyslipidemia clinic.
Methods: This 5-year, single-center cross-sectional study focused on patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels higher than 190 mg/dL referred to a dyslipidemia clinic in Tehran, Iran, between 2017 and 2022. The study examined their demographics, physical activity, and anxiety within the FH cohort.
Results: A total of 1724 patients were referred to the dyslipidemia clinic. Of these patients, 44 were diagnosed with definite FH. The mean age and LDL-C level of the FH cohort were 38.84±16.85 years and 315.95±81.73 mg/dL, respectively. A significant correlation was found between LDL-C and body mass index (BMI) (correlation coefficient = -0.31, P=0.031) and total sleep duration (correlation coefficient = -0.40, P<0.000). No correlation was observed between age and physical activity or LDL-C levels. Additionally, no significant correlation was detected between the Dutch score and patients’ LDL-C, BMI, age, or physical activity. Regression analysis indicated that BMI and total sleep duration were independent predictors of LDL-C in the FH cohort.
Conclusion: Investigating and identifying patients’ demographic and lifestyle characteristics is the first step in planning efficient and effective management strategies for chronic diseases, such as FH. Establishing a patient registry for chronic diseases enhances understanding of the target population and enables healthcare providers to design and implement appropriate preventive and control strategies.
