Risk Management in Petrochemical Companies: Sankyu Company as Case Study
Authors: Alharbi Ziyad Salem Awad 
Published: November 2024

Numerous risks associated with petrochemical projects can lead to cost overruns and negatively impact the quality of petrochemical products. These problems result from a failure to implement a plan to manage risks related to the operation and maintenance of petrochemical equipment and machinery. Therefore, this study aims to examine the risk mitigation strategies represented by risk retention, risk control, risk prevention, and risk transfer related to improving the financial aspects of petrochemical projects. To achieve the research objectives, the study relied on the quantitative approach by using a questionnaire that included the definition of all potential risks related to operational, human, environmental, and maintenance risks. The questionnaire also included an extensive study of risk mitigation strategies. The organization distributed the questionnaire to 268 Sankyu Company employees who operate and maintain petrochemical equipment. The study sample reached 159 respondents. The SPSS statistical analysis program calculated averages and standard deviations after collecting the data. The study found that the potential risks assessed using the risk index have a significant impact on petrochemical projects. The study also provided a comprehensive guide that includes risk mitigation strategies in petrochemical projects. The study has proven effective in improving the financial aspects of petrochemical projects.

Authors: Putra Devarra Anggara , Dewanti Diah Setyawati 
Published: November 2024

This research aims to analyze the impact of health quality and pollution levels on tourist flows in six ASEAN countries during the period of 2010-2022. Health quality is measured based on life expectancy, population growth, and COVID-19, while pollution levels are assessed using the concentration of PM2.5 particles in the air. Data was obtained from reliable sources and analyzed using a panel data regression model. The method used in this research is panel data analysis with a common effects, fixed effects, and random effects approach to test the relationship between variables. The approach chosen in this research is the general effects. Research results show that better health quality and lower pollution levels significantly increase the number of tourists visiting these countries. Research shows that health quality has a significant positive impact on tourist flows, while pollution levels have a significant negative impact. This finding shows that improving health quality and reducing pollution levels can encourage an increase in tourist flows. Thus, governments in ASEAN countries need to pay attention to health factors and design strategies to enhance the tourism sector by improving health quality and managing pollution.

Published: November 2024

Seeds are a valuable plant material for agriculture. The Kuantan Singingi district has many local rice seeds that can be developed, but these have not yet passed standard testing. This study aimed to determine the physical and physiological qualities of the seeds of two local rice genotypes in Kuantan Singingi Regency. This research was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD), which was repeated four times. The factor tested consisted of two rice genotypes: the white and yellow genotypes. The parameters observed were the percentage of the First Count Test (FCT) of germination capacity (GP), Maximum Growth Potential (MGP), Root and Shoot Growth Test (RSGT), and Seedling Growth Rate Test (SGRT). The collected data were analyzed by ANOVA at the 5% level and further tested by the LSD test. The results showed that FCT (%), GP (%), and Vigor (%) provide high figures according to SNI. Meanwhile, the IVT of all seeds on day 2 germinated. Based on the data from the RSGT and SGRT, all seed growth was normal.

Workers, Workplaces, Sorting, and Wage Dispersion in Mexico
Authors: Pérez Pérez Jorge , Nuño-Ledesma José G. 
Published: November 2024

Between 2004 and 2018, the spread of wages in Mexico’s private labor sector remained stable. Nonetheless, the underlying factors behind salary dispersion underwent significant shifts nationally and regionally. We analyze a matched employer-employee dataset comprising the near-universe of Mexico’s formal workforce. We estimate log wage models with worker and workplace fixed effects capturing over 94% of wage variation. We then decompose national and regional earnings dispersions into worker, workplace and assortative matching components. At the national level, we find that sorting increased its importance over time, from explaining 16% of total wage variance to 19% by the end of the period. Worker- and workplace-specific factors contributed between 37% to 44% and 33% to 37% to the total spread of remunerations, respectively. Workplace factors became increasingly important during the 2014–2018 time segment, to the point that their contribution to total wage variance is equivalent to that of worker factors. The influence of workplace factors on wage dispersion correlates negatively with regional economic development: It is lowest in the North, Mexico’s most-developed region, and largest in the South, the country’s least-prosperous region.

Diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military personnel/veterans
Authors: Shelenkova Nataliia 
Published: November 2024

Military personnel and veterans often suffer from a psychogenic disorder called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which has negative consequences for mental and somatic health, social interaction, and overall quality of life.
It has been found that between 20% and 40% of military personnel need psychological assistance. Symptoms of acute trauma are found in 60-80% of servicemen and women who witnessed the deaths of their comrades or civilians or saw the bodies of the dead. Symptoms of PTSD develop in about 12-20% of servicemen who have sustained combat trauma but have not sought psychological help.
The article outlines the psychosocial factors that cause stress and lead to the development of mental and behavioral disorders and the diagnostic criteria for PTSD (according to DSM-5). The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in military personnel have been identified.
In accordance with the purpose of the article, the concept of PTSD, the basic principles (safety, interest, minimization of trauma, responsibility, confidentiality, professionalism and professional responsibility, a sufficient minimum, a clear understanding of the limits of professional competence) and criteria for its diagnosis (according to the DSM-5 recommendations) are considered.
The author analyzes the psychodiagnostic tools that can be used for screening and psychological examination of victims of psychotraumatic situations, including military personnel/veterans.
Examples of screening questionnaires for PTSD aimed at identifying: the main symptoms of PTSD; the type of traumatic event experienced by a person; assessment of the impact of a traumatic event on a person are given.

A WOMAN UNITED WITH THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST – BLESSED KLEMENSA STASZEWSKA OSU (1890–1943)
Authors: Klich Anna Emmanuela 
Published: November 2024

The aim of this article is to examine the charism of Blessed Klemensa Staszewska, with which she was endowed by God, and its relevance to all believers. The sources of this study are her “spiritual notes”, written at the instruction of her spiritual director, and her letters. The first stage of the study examines how Blessed Klemensa, accepting her Ursuline vocation, experienced the desire for a spousal bond with Jesus and to give to Him alone all that she is and all that she possesses. In the second part of the article, a study is carried out on the spiritual desire expressed by Blessed Klemensa in her plan of life, written on the day of her perpetual vows to unite herself to the Sacrifice of Christ and to His intentions and the inner disposition with which He offered Himself on the Cross. Here it was important to examine how Blessed Klemensa experienced all the tribulations and difficulties of life in union with Jesus. This dimension of her spiritual life can be regarded as prophetic for both consecrated and lay persons, because it concerns the universal priesthood resulting from baptismal consecration, which seems to be underestimated in Christian spirituality today. In the fourth and final part of the article, it is shown how Blessed Klemensa combined a deep spiritual life with her ministry of caring for children and the formation of young people. She maintained this life amidst her duties and responsibility for the Ursuline community throughout the hardships of World War II and when, after helping with heroic courage those sought by the Gestapo, she endured the cruelty of the concentration camp.
Contemporary Issues in Linguistics: A Systematic Literature Review on Emoji and Emoticon
Authors: Setyawan Harits , Musthafa Bachrudin 
Published: November 2024

This research aims at reviewing the previous studies on emojis and emoticons in computer-mediated communication to provide information the extent to which they have been studied, as well as proposing a new concept for investigation and how it is implemented in research. To answer the research objectives, the author reviewed articles about emojis and emoticons published from 2012-2021. The data are collected by using an application called Publish and Perish, as well as free social networking sites ResearchGate and Academia. The findings of the previous research are then synthesized. The research results show that the differences and similarities of emojis and emoticons, as well as which of them is used more often and why one of them is preferred have been investigated. Both emojis and emoticons are used to express emotion, clarify meaning, substitute texts and punctuations. Then, the use of emojis and emoticons is influenced by social relationships, level of formality and gender, emotional relationships, social media platforms, and linguistic patterns. Despite that, emojis and emoticons are not used correctly in terms of the meaning contained in them and have not been much studied by using linguistic theories. It implies that more research on emojis and emoticons which is paired with linguistic theories is needed. For that reasons we propose that the myth which emerges as the folded hand emoji is used and why the myth emerges are studied in the future research.

Affective Landscapes of Systemic Injustice among Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual People in North Macedonia
Authors: Dimitrov Slavcho , Blazheva Ana 
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the affective landscapes of systemic injustice faced by the lesbian, gay and bisexual persons in North Macedonia. The analyzed data stems from our qualitative research conducted in 2021 among 20 lesbian, gay, and bisexual people living in Skopje using a phenomenological, critical, and feminist approach. Our research applies a broader multidimensional and systemic method towards equality so as to overcome individualizing and reductive judicial-procedural perspectives on experiences of discrimination and (in)equality. A central concept for this analysis is Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of the habitus/bodily hexis, which helps bring to light embodiment of social structures. Affects are explored as not only subjective experience but a force for shaping relations, representing a key component of social dynamics and the (re)production of social structures. Furthermore, as part of the affective landscape of marginalization and experience of systemic injustice, phenomenology of vulnerability, shame, and belonging is discussed. To conclude, we look at collective actions of resistance and protest as integral experiences in building resilience and resistance in a state of constant systemic trauma, and at the role of critical art and cultural practices in North Macedonia as tools in alternative forms of struggles against affective injustice that move beyond identarian logics.

Kontrak Forward sebagai Lindung Nilai Risiko Fluktuasi Nilai Tukar, Apakah Efektif?
Authors: Pangestuti Dewi 
Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi penggunaan kontrak forward oleh PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk sebagai instrumen derivatif. Data penelitian berupa kurs tengah untuk mata uang US Dollar (USD) dan Euro (EUR) sepanjang Januari 2020 - Maret 2020 sebagai kurs spot. Metode perhitungan forward rate digunakan untuk menentukan premi yang akan diperoleh PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk selama kuartal I-2020 dengan memanfaatkan kontrak forward. Hasil penelitian yaitu satu dari setiap lima belas transaksi kontrak forward yang dilakukan oleh PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk mencapai tujuan hedging, karena forward rate yang berlaku pada kontrak kurang dari spot rate yang berlaku di Indonesia pada tanggal jatuh tempo. Namun, empat belas dari lima belas transaksi menunjukkan perhitungan hasil negatif/diskonto forward yang disebabkan oleh nilai spot rate yang lebih besar dari forward rate dari kontrak yang disepakati. Fenomena ini mengindikasikan bahwa nilai rupiah terhadap valuta asing euro dan dolar AS menguat pada kuartal I-2020. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa keputusan untuk melakukan lindung nilai tidak selalu bermanfaat bagi perusahaan. Rekomendasi yang dapat diberikan kepada manajemen adalah dari sebuah perusahaan harus mempertimbangkan banyak hal sebelum memutuskan untuk melakukan hedging, karena jika hedging tidak berhasil, maka beban perusahaan untuk membayar kewajiban secara internasional akan meningkat.

Published: November 2024

IntroductionDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is a highly prevalent microvascular disease among diabetic patients, resulting in irreversible blindness. However, there is a dearth of evidence on diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its associated factors in eastern Ethiopia. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its associated factors among type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients at public hospitals in eastern Ethiopia.MethodA hospital-based comparative cross-sectional was conducted among 520 diabetic patients. Epidata software was used for data entry, and STATA version 17 was used for statistical analysis. Multivariate binary logistic regression was computed to identify factors associated with DR. The Hosmer and Lemeshow chi-square test assessed goodness of fit.ResultsThe overall prevalence of DR was 43.5%. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy among type 1 DM was 38.5%, and the prevalence of DR among type 2 DM was 48.5%. Age &gt;60 [AOR = 4.64 95% CI (1.60, 13.51)], being male [AOR = 4.05 95% CI (1.51, 10.97)], and having complications [AOR = 0.01 95% CI (0.003, 0.04)] were significantly associated with DR among type 1 diabetes. Having a family history of DM [AOR = 1.57 95% CI (1.76, 3.24)], poor glycemic status [AOR = 1.91 95% CI (1.56, 2.83)], and having complications [AOR = 11.07 95% CI (4.89, 25.13)] were significantly associated with DR among type 2 diabetes.ConclusionsIn the current study, the prevalence of DR was 43.5%. The prevalence was higher among type 2 diabetes compared to type 1 diabetes. Factors such as poor glycemic control, older age, male sex, a family history of diabetes, and complications related to diabetes were significantly associated with DR. To minimize the impact of diabetics, it requires regular screening programs for diabetic patients, especially those with poor glycemic control and other identified risk factors.
