Abstract
From our roles within international public health organizations, we have collectively witnessed the global challenges presented by outdated health information systems, platforms, and applications. The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly exposed the limitations of our current paper-based vaccine certification methods and highlighted the deficiencies of outdated technological platforms that lack interoperability standards, a situation that underscores the critical need for a digital transformation in how we manage and verify immunization records. Digital vaccination certificates are understood to be secure, electronically stored, and easily accessible records that provide verifiable proof of a person’s immunization status. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) envisions leveraging digital technologies to strengthen health systems, enhance data-driven decision-making, and improve health outcomes. The organization’s vision emphasizes the integration of innovative technologies to build resilient and responsive health systems capable of addressing modern public health challenges. In an era of unprecedented technological advancement, our continued reliance on paper-based vaccine certificates is not just anachronistic—it is a significant liability for global public health that impacts the efficiency and effectiveness of our health systems on multiple fronts, limiting our ability to respond to public health crises effectively. With the strategic guidance from its Member States, PAHO has agreed to move toward the digital transformation of the health sector across the entire continent with an initiative that aims to improve health outcomes, ensure equitable access to health services, and enhance the overall efficiency of health systems in the Americas. The roadmap for this digital transformation outlines strategic actions and goals to achieve a connected, efficient, and resilient health sector.

Influence of sowing date and cultivar on grain and protein yield of grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]
Authors: Różewicz Marcin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Sorghum is a warm-climate crop that is tolerant of water shortages and drought. In terms of climate change in Europe, this cereal could be increasingly grown to replace maize where maize cannot be grown. Unfortunately, the agronomics and especially the optimum sowing date are currently not sufficiently researched, which means that many farmers potentially interested in growing sorghum do not know what sowing date to use. The diversity of cultivar also poses a problem in terms of their appropriate selection and sowing date for the weather conditions in Poland. The study used two different sowing dates for sorghum: in the first decade of May and the second decade of May. Three different grain sorghum cultivars were used: Albanus, Anggy and GK Emese. In the conducted experiment, such features as grain yield and its components as: plant density, number of panicles, tillering index, grain weight per panicle and thousand grain mass were studied. Protein content in grain was also studied and protein yield was calculated. The GK Emese variety proved to be the most stable in terms of grain and protein yield, but it was also the most sensitive to sowing date. The other two varieties Anggy and Albanus showed a varied response to sowing date in terms of grain and protein yield.
In medicine today – Cancer and the prorogation of clinical reality in favour of probabilistic outcomes
Authors: Retsas Spyros 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
How essential is the randomised trial in cancer therapeutics? Is it conceivable that prospective randomised clinical trials in cancer medicine could, one day, safely be abandoned in favour of Phase II studies supplemented with real-world data from cancer centres, without detriment to the progress of cancer therapeutics or the welfare of cancer sufferers? If feasible, such practice could reduce the cost of new drug development, while freeing clinical investigators from the ethical burden of random allocation of treatment or indeed providing no therapy with the administration of a placebo to cancer sufferers.
Training Programs’ Quality of Universities in Vietnam – A Research on the Results of Education Accreditation Assessment in the Period from 2017 to 2023
Authors: Anh Bui Vu , Trang Dinh Thi Thu 
Published: November 2024

Education accreditation is the process of external quality assessment conducted by education quality accreditation agents to evaluate colleges, universities, and training programs to ensure and improve education quality. This study aims to show the level of fulfilment of accreditation requirements for training programs by examining the results of quality accreditation of training programs in the country from 2017 to 2023. The evaluation of the quality of training programs through the accreditation results in this study focuses on two aspects: researching on each criterion examination and on the relation of Result creteria with the rest. The research results show that, when examining each criterion individually, most of the training programs meet the requirements set forth by the educational quality accreditation. However, when analyzing in pair of Result criteria with others, the authors found a corresponding mismatch in meeting the requirements of program quality accreditation. This finding helps education quality assurance practitioners and institutions make adjustments to improve the quality of training programs.

Published: November 2024

One of the most significant socio-political, socio-economic and military-strategic events of this year was the XVI BRICS Summit on October 22-24 in Kazan. In this regard, it is necessary to conceptualize the main results and trends following the results of such a large-scale event. Thus, the subject of the study in this work is to determine the legal trends of international military cooperation of the Russian Federation from the perspective of the results of the XVI BRICS Summit held in the Russian Federation (Kazan) on October 22-24, 2024. The solution of this task involves an analysis of the essence of the summit, from the perspective of the meaning and values of the BRICS as an influential international organization. It is noted that the expansion of cooperation within the framework of BRICS involves both the development of the military component of the organization and the appropriate legal support for these activities. To reveal the legal trends of international military cooperation of the Russian Federation from the perspective of the results of the XVI BRICS Summit held in the Russian Federation (Kazan) on October 22-24, 2024, the work uses systematic, comparative legal and doctrinal approaches, as well as analytical, classification and generalizing methods of scientific research. As part of the generalization of legal trends in the development of international military cooperation, the BRICS countries proposed following the Summit: simplify trade procedures between states; adopt the convention on combating international terrorism within the framework of cooperation in the UN; strengthen practical international cooperation in the fight against terrorism; continue cooperation against transnational crime without politicization; expand dialogue in order to create a single transport platform to ensure multimodal logistics between the countries of the association; to expand cooperation in the field of remote sensing satellites; the BRICS countries agreed to jointly resist unilateral protectionist measures that do not comply with international law; to strengthen cooperation on the exchange of scientific and technical information, materials and equipment for peaceful purposes.

Authors: О. О. Смирнова 
Published: November 2024

Наиболее востребованным инструментом в системе стратегического планирования сегодня может стать индикативное планирование, которое предлагается рассматривать как комплекс мер, направленных на согласование документов стратегического планирования разного уровня путем согласования индикаторов в документах, формирование системы целевых индикаторов и комплекса мероприятий по достижению стратегических целей. Одновременно стратегическое индикативное планирование может выполнять «процессные» функции в системе стратегического управления, объединяя такие функции стратегического управления как прогнозирование, целеполагание, организация, координация, мотивация, мониторинг и контроль. Использование инструментов индикативного планирования и балансовых расчетов должно обеспечить соответствие приоритетов развития и обеспечения национальной безопасности и ресурсов для их достижения, позволит дополнить «планирования результатов» «планированием ресурсов». От корректности организации индикативного планирования во многом зависит эффективность функционирования системы стратегического планирования. Указанный инструментарий индикативного планирования рассмотрен в статье
Today, indicative planning can become the most popular tool in the strategic planning system. Indicative planning is proposed to be considered as a set of measures aimed at coordinating strategic planning documents at different levels by coordinating indicators in documents, forming a system of target indicators and a set of measures to achieve strategic goals. At the same time, strategic indicative planning can perform «process» functions in the strategic management system, combining such strategic management functions as forecasting, goal setting, organization, coordination, motivation, monitoring and control. Using the tools of indicative planning and balance calculations should ensure that the priorities of development and ensuring national security and the resources to achieve them are in line, and will allow you to Supplement the «results planning» with «resource planning». The effectiveness of the strategic planning system depends largely on the correctness of the organization of indicative planning. The specified tools for indicative planning are considered in this article

GROSS PREMIUM VALUATION METHOD IN DETERMINING PREMIUM RESERVES IN LIFE INSURANCE
Authors: Rivaldo Rendi , Perdana Hendra , Andani Wirda 
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Life insurance companies maintain reserve funds to pay insurance policy claims, known as premium reserves. Premium reserves are calculated using two approaches: retrospective and prospective. The prospective approach involves calculating the present value of all future expenses minus the total future income for each policyholder, using the Gross Premium Valuation (GPV) method. The GPV method takes into account initial costs, maintenance costs, and administration costs. The case study results indicate that the premium reserve using the GPV method starts at zero in the first year, increases until the last payment year, and then decreases after the payment period until the end of the coverage period. For policyholders of different genders but the same age, the premium reserve for men is greater than for women. Additionally, for male policyholders of varying ages, the premium reserves required increase with age. Furthermore, for male policyholders of the same age but with different interest rates, a higher interest rate results in a smaller premium reserve requirement.

Keywords: Prospective Reserves, GPV, Gross Premiums
Contemporary Ijtihad Deconstruction in The Supreme Court: Wasiat Wajibah as An Alternative for Non-Muslim Heirs in Indonesia

Published: November 2024

This research aims to critically analyze and deconstruct the rules and theoretical rules of ijtihad and its implementation in resolving contemporary Islamic inheritance law issues that develop in the Supreme Court. The focus of this research is on the wasiat wajibah (compulsory testament) as an alternative for non-Muslim heirs. This field research uses a descriptive-analytical method to explain the conception of ijtihad comprehensively. The primary data for this research came from interviews and observations. Interviews were conducted with several Religious Court Judges and Religious High Court Judges. Meanwhile, observation was conducted in several religious courts and high religious courts. Secondary data came from library data such as Supreme Court decisions on compulsory testaments for non-Muslim heirs. In addition, this library data is also supported by classical books (yellow book), scientific articles, internet websites, etc., related to the research topic. In several of its decisions, this study found that the Supreme Court has carried out modern ijtihad in Islamic inheritance law by providing an alternative law in the form of a compulsory testament for non-Muslim heirs to enjoy the inheritance of Muslim heirs. This alternative law is a product of the ijtihad of judges through the renewal of ijtihad methodology in the context of legal discovery (rechtvinding), which aims to distribute a sense of justice to parties prevented from getting inherited property. The birth of several Supreme Court decisions, such as decisions number 16 K/AG/2010, 218 K/AG/2016, and 331 K/AG/2018, which provide legal alternatives in the form of compulsory testaments for non-Muslim heirs, is a historical necessity that must be interpreted positively for the sake of future history.

A Mathematical Model Analysis of COVID-19 Transmission with Vaccination in Caputo Fractional Derivatives: Case Study in Indonesia
Authors: Nisardi Muhammad Rifki , Kasbawati Kasbawati , Khaeruddin Khaeruddin 
Published: November 2024

This study aims to investigate a fractional-order mathematical model of COVID-19 transmission using the Caputo derivative definition which suitable to epidemiological cases by its advantage to explain memory effects. The model incorporates compartments for asymptomatic infections and includes a vaccination strategy aimed at mitigating the spread of COVID-19. We derived the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points for the fractional model and computed the basic reproduction number (R_0 ) using the Next-generation Matrix method. Additionally, we conducted sensitivity analyses of parameters affecting R_0. The stability of the fractional model requires specific conditions to be met by the model parameters. To approximate active COVID-19 cases in Indonesia, we utilized the Explicit Grunwald-Letnikov method which well fit with Caputo fractional differential system. Simulation results demonstrate that the fractional-order model offers a flexible approach for modelling active COVID-19 cases in these regions. We found that fractional order for active cases COVID-19 in Indonesia is α=0.9856. The simulation showed that decreasing the vaccination rate and the efficacy of the vaccine would affect the reduction of COVID-19 transmission.
Weight Loss in Parkinson’s Disease: No Evidence for Role of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
Authors: DiBaise John K. , Crowell Michael D. , Driver-Dunckley Erika , Mehta Shyamal H. , Hoffman-Snyder Charlene , Lin Tanya , Adler Charles H. 
Published: November 2024

Background and Objective: Weight loss and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are common in Parkinson’s disease (PD). We aimed to study the relationship between weight loss and SIBO in PD. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a prospective, interventional component. Consecutive patients seen in the PD clinic who agreed to participate underwent extensive history, movement exam, SIBO breath testing and answered questionnaires. A subset of those in the weight loss group were treated with rifaximin for 14 days and returned 3 months later for an assessment of their weight, GI symptoms, quality of life and SIBO status. All analyses were adjusted for age and disease duration. Results: Fifty-one patients participated in the study; 37 without weight loss and 14 with weight loss. Total energy intake including the distribution of macronutrient intake was similar between groups while physical activity was less in those with weight loss. PD severity scores did not differ between groups; however, PD-specific quality of life scores were significantly worse for the summary index and the subscales of emotional well-being, social support and communication. The prevalence of constipation, dyspepsia and abdominal pain/discomfort was higher in those with weight loss. The prevalence of SIBO was 14% in the weight loss group and was not different between groups. Eight PD patients with weight loss were treated with rifaximin; no significant change in GI symptoms, quality of life or weight was seen 3 months later. Conclusion: Although a number of differences were identified in quality of life and gastrointestinal symptoms between groups with and without weight loss, SIBO was not associated with weight loss in patients with PD. Given the exploratory nature and small number of patients with weight loss, however, further study is suggested.
