Authors: Prabowo Arwan , Anggoro Yudo 
Published: October 2024

The growing importance of global competition force companies not merely to sustain productivity and financial growth and plan for long-term competitiveness. Therefore, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, which guide companies in incorporating sustainability into their business practices, play a pivotal role in navigating the complexities of sustainable operations. Effective ESG performance evaluation is crucial in resolving business concerns. Accordingly, this research aims to analyze the most suitable approach to materializing and addressing ESG issues in corporate strategies. The proposed research methodology combines qualitative and quantitative analyses, including interviews, thematic analysis, and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The findings reveal that the Integrated Approach is the most effective strategy, with a weight of 24.1%, comprehensively balancing environmental, social, and governance priorities. The Stakeholder-Based Approach is also considered important, with a weight of 23.8%, emphasizing stakeholder engagement and collaboration. Meanwhile, the Compliance-Based Approach and the Opportunity-Based Approach exhibit lower effectiveness. This research contributes to a profound understanding of ESG performance evaluation, implementation strategies, and the role of sustainability in driving long-term business success while positively contributing to the environment and society. The limitations of the research and directions for future research are also discussed.

The study outlines the approaches toward the rationalization of the technological process of pellet production by combining iron ore extraction in the quarry, its milling, concentrate enrichment, pellet firing. The practice of system implementation of modern technology of flotation processing of iron content into the concentrate as a strategic task of improving the quality of pellets is described.
The peculiarities of involving a significant percentage of "low-grade" ores in production in case of necessity are revealed. It was concluded that the implementation and successful functioning of the quality management system are affected by engineering mistakes, poor cooperation with suppliers, the return of low-quality products to the enterprise, additional transportation expenses. The sequence of development of the fundamental documents of the quality management system regarding the implementation of the policy in the field of expansion of export supplies of pellets and improvement of the organizational structure of the company's management is covered.
The iron content in pellets was predicted using the auto regression model. An improved structure of management of foreign economic activity in case of the implementation of the project on additional production of high-quality pellets is proposed. The costs for increasing the volume of production of iron ore raw materials for the project for the successful functioning of the automated management system for the entire technological process of charge preparation, pelletizing and firing of pellets are systematically defined.
A risk assessment was carried out in conditions of implementation of the model for calculating the capital assets of the complex of equipment for the production of high-quality pellets of a well-known global company. Decisions regarding the positioning of the plant's pellets on the world market with determination of the pricing strategy are justified.

Published: October 2024

У статті представлено еволюцію важких і дальньобомбардувальних літаків протягом міжвоєнного етапу в історії авіації (1920–1941 рр.). На думку автора, відродження і розвиток авіації у ці роки значною мірою характеризувалися розробкою і будівництвом важких дальньобомбардувальних літаків. Такий напрям виявив необхідність у формуванні їх військово-організаційної структури, стратегії й тактики бойового застосування.Автор доводить, що спочатку були створені авіаційні загони, які пізніше трансформувалися в авіаційні ескадрильї. З метою розширення парку літаків та підвищення їх бойових можливостей радянське керівництво для Військово-Повітряних Сил закуповувало літаки у Франції та Німеччині. Фрагментарно висвітлено, що на цьому етапі повітряний рух у СРСР і навчання радянських льотчиків забезпечували німецькі фахівці.У статті доведено, що розвиток важкої дальньобомбардувальної авіації як ключового елемента безпеки новоствореної держави (СРСР) набув особливого статусу і почав ресурсно належно забезпечуватися. Почали розроблятися і будуватися нові літаки, у тому числі на авіазаводах, розміщених на території сучасної України, що послужили основою для удосконалення подальших варіантів авіаційної техніки.

Published: October 2024

Pencari kerja yang mengajukan lamaran pekerjaan harus mematuhi kebijakan perusahaan yang mereka inginkan. Masalah yang masih relevan saat ini adalah banyak pencari kerja yang belum berhasil mendapatkan pekerjaan karena berbagai faktor, termasuk tingkat pendidikan dan ketersediaan lapangan kerja di berbagai wilayah. Para pencari kerja yang mendaftar di berbagai perusahaan sering memiliki kualifikasi umur dan pendidikan yang beragam, terutama di wilayah Kabupaten Bantul, D.I Yogyakarta. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berasal dari Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi Kabupaten Bantul. Proses pengolahan data dilakukan menggunakan Data Mining atau Knowledge Discovery in Database, dengan metode clustering menggunakan Algoritma K-Means untuk mengelompokkan data pencari kerja ke dalam sejumlah cluster yang diinginkan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengelompokkan data pencari kerja di Kabupaten Bantul dan memisahkan mereka ke dalam kelompok yang memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda. Pengujian dilakukan menggunakan perangkat lunak RapidMiner, yang merupakan alat Data Mining dengan berbagai metode yang tersedia. Pengelompokan data pencari kerja ini diharapkan dapat membantu pemerintah mendistribusikan pekerjaan secara merata kepada para pencari kerja dan mengurangi penumpukan data pencari kerja setiap tahunnya, dan dapat membantu Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi Kabupaten Bantul dalam perencanaan dan alokasi sumber daya sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Hasil implementasi algoritma K-Means pada data pencari kerja yang telah diuji dengan k=2 sampai dengan k=10 menghasilkan cluster terbaik yaitu k=2 dengan nilai Davies Bouldin Index (DBI) sebesar 0.523, diantaranya Cluster_0 terdiri dari 214 anggota, sementara Cluster_1 terdiri dari 36 anggota. Oleh karena itu, semakin kecil nilai Davies Bouldin Index (DBI), semakin tinggi tingkat kemiripan data dalam satu kelompok.
POLYLECTROLYTE COMPLEX OF SODIUM ALGINATE - POLYETHYLENIMINE WITH THE INCLUSION COMPLEX OF SULFOBUTYL ETHER β-CYCLODEXTRIN – DEXAMETHASONE.

Published: October 2024

A polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) of sodium alginate with polyethyleneimine, loaded with (5 wt.%) inclusion complex (IC) of sulfobutylether β-cyclodextrin with dexame­thasone, was formed from aqueous solutions. Dexamethasone (DM) is a medical and ve­terinary synthetic glucocorticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, used in the treatment of various di­seases. The structure of the obtained compositions was analyzed by X-ray diffraction method, confirming the interaction PEC and IC through both Coulombic forces between the ionic groups of PEC and hydrogen bonding involving the proton-donor and proton-acceptor polar groups of PEC and IC. These findings were supported by pyrolytic mass spectrometry data and differential scanning calorimetry. The decrease in PEC swelling degree further supports the above conclusions. Testing the obtained PEC films for drug release using UV spectrophotometry revealed that the release kinetics were nonlinear and partially dependent on the release medium, indicating their potential as materials for creating polymer matrices with prolonged therapeutic effects.
Istanbul as European Capital of Culture, 2010: The AKP’s Final Turn towards Europe
Authors: Dorroll Courtney , Dorroll Philip 
Published: October 2024

This chapter analyses how the ideological basis of the European Capital of Culture designation process for Istanbul constituted a form of Eurocentrism that employed both externally imposed orientalism and internalised orientalism. The designation of Istanbul as ECoC caused a reorientation of the construction of the city’s cultural heritage to look towards the Ottoman past through art and architectural events during 2010 which were to be on display for the international tourist. Yet in preparation for the ECoC, the Fatih municipality destroyed one of Istanbul’s most historic neighbourhoods, the Roma neighbourhood in Sulukule. This lived experience of homogenising the city to create a specific architectural public sphere to greet international tourists stands in direct opposition to the multiculturalist discourses of the ECoC application, but is reinforced by the neo-Ottoman vision of Istanbul.
Jacob’s Wrestling with the Angel from Bible Myth to Walter Pater’s and Katherine Mansfield’s Stories
Authors: Ascari Maurizio 
Published: October 2024

This article aims to trace a set of intertextual relations that originate from the Jacob and Esau episode of the Bible, notably from the climactic wrestling of Jacob with the angel. Despite the cultural distance, some defining features of this wrestling resurface – in a transmogrified form and in relation to childhood – in Walter Pater’s The Child in the House and in Katherine Mansfield’s The Aloe and ‘Prelude’. This network of mythical and symbolic elements reveals its full relevance once we approach the Jacob and Esau story through the lens of C. G. Jung’s theories, notably through the book Erich Neumann (a student of Jung) devoted to it in the 1930s. The tenets of analytical psychology will thus be used to unveil the archetypal meaning of this myth, shedding light on its refunctionalisation within the framework of Modernism as an investigation into the process of psychic self-fashioning that marks childhood. The response of Mansfield’s young protagonist to a dawning awareness of death, against the backdrop of a deserted home, will then be contextualised in order to shed light on Mansfield’s imagination of death, loneliness and darkness, which is pervasive in her literary output.
The effect of antibiotics on the intestinal microbiota in children - a systematic review
Authors: Wurm Juliane , Curtis Nigel , Zimmermann Petra 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundChildren are the age group with the highest exposure to antibiotics (ABX). ABX treatment changes the composition of the intestinal microbiota. The first few years of life are crucial for the establishment of a healthy microbiota and consequently, disturbance of the microbiota during this critical period may have far-reaching consequences. In this review, we summarise studies that have investigated the effect of ABX on the composition of the intestinal microbiota in children.MethodsAccording to the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was done using MEDLINE and Embase to identify original studies that have investigated the effect of systemic ABX on the composition of the intestinal microbiota in children.ResultsWe identified 89 studies investigating a total of 9,712 children (including 4,574 controls) and 14,845 samples. All ABX investigated resulted in a reduction in alpha diversity, either when comparing samples before and after ABX or children with ABX and controls. Following treatment with penicillins, the decrease in alpha diversity persisted for up to 6–12 months and with macrolides, up to the latest follow-up at 12–24 months. After ABX in the neonatal period, a decrease in alpha diversity was still found at 36 months. Treatment with penicillins, penicillins plus gentamicin, cephalosporins, carbapenems, macrolides, and aminoglycosides, but not trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, was associated with decreased abundances of beneficial bacteria including Actinobacteria, Bifidobacteriales, Bifidobacteriaceae, and/or Bifidobacterium, and Lactobacillus. The direction of change in the abundance of Enterobacteriaceae varied with ABX classes, but an increase in Enterobacteriaceae other than Escherichia coli was frequently observed.ConclusionABX have profound effects on the intestinal microbiota of children, with notable differences between ABX classes. Macrolides have the most substantial impact while trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole has the least pronounced effect.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionBone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are widely used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine as seed cells. Due to low amount in bone marrow, BMSCs must be expanded and cultured in vitro before application. However, the senescence of stem cell caused by long-term in vitro culture greatly limits its efficacy of transplantation.MethodsIn this study, we propose an approach based on electromagnetic fields (EMF) treatment to rejuvenate aged BMSCs due to long-term in vitro culture. Aged BMSCs were treated with sinusoidal EMF (50 Hz, 0.4 mT), and stem cell senescence, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell stemness and autophagy level were detected. Additionally, aged BMSCs-laden hydrogels were transplanted into the rat critical-sized calvarial defect with or without EMF treatment. The bone formation was evaluated 8 weeks after surgery.ResultsOur results indicated that the BMSCs age significantly after long-term in vitro passaging. The self-renew, multiple differentiation capacity, senescence phenotypes and stemness of aged BMSCs are partly reversed by EMF treatment with a frequency of 50 Hz and strength of 0.4 mT. Moreover, declined autophagy level is observed in BMSCs during long-term in vitro passaging and BMSCs senescence is closely associated with autophagy regulation. Additionally, the mechanistic investigation reveals that EMF treatment rejuvenate senescent BMSCs by enhancing autophagy. Furthermore, EMF treatment significantly promote the therapeutic effect of long-term passaged BMSCs on bone formation in vivo.ConclusionOverall, our study identifies a practical approach for the rejuvenation of old BMSCs and may provide a promising candidate in tissue engineering and stem cell therapy.

BackgroundThe role of anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs) in recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation (CA) is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of AADs in patients who recurred after AFCA depending on extra-pulmonary vein triggers (ExPVTs) and post-ablation heart rate variability (HRV) parameters.MethodsWe analyzed 2,036 patients who underwent de-novo AFCA and 486 patients with post-AFCA recurrence who underwent rhythm control with AADs. We investigated the effects of ExPVTs and 3rd month HRV parameters on the post-AFCA recurrence and subsequent AAD responsiveness.ResultsA total of 486 out of 2,036 patients developed clinical recurrence of AF and subsequently underwent rhythm control with AADs. 486 out of 310 patients (63.8%) remained free of second recurrence at 1-year. Post-AFCA recurrence was significantly higher in patients with ExPVT [Log-rank p &lt; 0.001, HR 1.45 (1.16–1.83), p = 0.001] or higher 3rd month root mean square of the differences between successive RR intervals (rMSSD) [Log-rank p &lt; 0.001, HR 1.36 (1.11–1.65), p = 0.003] than their counterparts. Patients with ExPVTs during the de-novo procedure had significantly higher 3rd month rMSSD (15.0 [11.0–23.0] vs. 17.0 [11.0–28.0], p = 0.022). Patients with high 3rd month rMSSD had higher rate of ExPVTs during the repeat procedure (n = 160, 41.0% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.019). Among patients with recurrent AF after AFCA, post-AAD recurrence did not differ depending on the presence of ExPVT [Log-rank p = 0.455, HR 1.12 (0.78–1.69), p = 0.436] or 3rd month rMSSD [Log-rank p = 0.457, HR 1.16 (0.87–1.55), p = 0.300]. Post-AAD recurrence did not differ between class IC and III AADs (p for interaction = 0.311).ConclusionsExPVT and post-procedural high rMSSD are independent risk factors for post-AFCA recurrence but not for AAD response in patients with recurrent AF. AADs may suppress ExPVTs and modulate cardiac autonomic activity after post-AFCA recurrence.
An accessory renal aneurysm in a patient with absent renal artery: a case report
Authors: Wan Jianghong , Chen Chu Wen , Chen Guoxin , Huang Bin 
Published: October 2024

IntroductionThis study reports a patient who developed a secondary renal artery aneurysm (RAA) after occlusion of the main renal artery.MethodsA 25-year-old woman was hospitalized due to an enlarged renal artery aneurysm (RAA). Computed tomography angiography revealed a 2.2 mm left renal aneurysm and the absence of the left renal artery trunk, with collateral blood supply from the branch arteries of the aorta. The left kidney function remained normal, allowing successful aneurysm embolization. Three years after embolization, the patient's hypertension improved and became more manageable.ConclusionCompensation through other abdominal aorta branches after renal artery trunk occlusion is rare, and these branches may also lead to the development of aneurysms. Regular monitoring of these patients is essential.
