Authors: Mediaty  , Habbe Abdul Hamid , Sundari Sri , Mas'ud Anis Anshari , Arifin Andi Harmoko 
Published: May 2024

Objective: The behaviors of overreaction and underreaction exhibited by public sector budget planners have an impact on the disparity between the initial budget set at the beginning of a period and the actual budget realization at the end of the period. This study aims to examine how budget planners in Indonesia predict budgets for local governments, specifically whether there is a difference in the overreaction or underreaction behavior of public sector budget planners among districts and cities in the South Sulawesi Province of Indonesia.

Theoretical Framework: This study aims to elucidate the cognitive mechanisms of representativeness bias and the anchoring-adjustment heuristic, which may impact the behavior of individual budget planners in determining budget amounts for future periods and their reliance on past information.

Method: This research employs a quantitative approach with a causal and explanatory study design. In this study, the independent variable is the behavior of public sector budget builders, while the accuracy of their predictions for the future budget of the public sector constitutes the dependent variable. The quantitative approach was selected because it aligns with the research's objective of discerning potential misestimations in the behavior of budgeting teams when determining the budgetary allocations for the upcoming year in various patterns or conditions. The research's respondents are the budgeting teams from various districts and cities in the South Sulawesi Province. To test the research subjects, a heuristic of representativeness and anchoring-adjustment is followed when utilizing patterns of revenue realization from previous years (time series).

Results and Discussion: This study found that the average Uncertainty in Budget Planner Predictions for Local Governments in each district and city in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, is consistent and does not exhibit significant differences. This research is highly significant as it can provide a valuable contribution to public sector budget planners in Indonesia when establishing budget amounts for the forthcoming period.

Research Implications: This study seeks to contribute to advancing research in the realm of public sector budgeting in South Sulawesi, particularly by providing an overview of the occurrence of overreaction and underreaction behaviors among the planners of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) budgets in South Sulawesi Province.

Originality/Value: The novelty of this study lies in the empirical validation of the utilization of the concepts of representativeness and anchoring-adjustment in the behavior of public sector budget planners when determining the budget amounts for the upcoming period.

Authors: Rui Simone Leia , Hespanhol Rosangela Aparecida de Medeiros 
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The objective of the research was to analyze, based on the interfaces between gender and family farming, how access to a public policy, in this case, the Food Acquisition Program (FAP), influences (or not) the empowerment of participating female farmers.

Theoretical framework: The methodology used in the research was a case study and interviews were carried out based on elaborate semi-structured scripts (Triviños, 1987). A bibliographical survey was carried out using HERÉDIA; CINTRÃO, 2006, BRASIL, 2011, HAESBAERT (2004), among other literature publications, and systematization of data from secondary sources with National Supply Company.

Conception/Methodology/Approach: We took as empirical reference the “Associação Força Feminina” in the municipality of “Mirante do Paranapanema”, in the State of São Paulo. This Association participated of FAP between 2011 and 2016, and it was verified through data from secondary sources that there was growth in terms of values of approved projects.

Findings: We consider that the PAA was an action that made it possible to expand the participation of family farming and that generated economic autonomy for women. The PAA provided advances in relation to the quality of life to the women farmers of the Associação Força Feminina, as it valued agricultural products, increased the diversity of production, brought producers and consumers closer together, offered sales guarantees and paid more advantageous prices.

Research, practical and social implications: The study deals with issues related to public policies and issues of empowerment in the state of São Paulo – BR. Access to the Food Acquisition Program (SAP), aimed at rural women workers, intends to take into account the social and cultural specificities of family farming, and makes it possible to understand that public policies are an important instrument, that can change the living situation of the families involved and of their beneficiaries.

Originality/Value: In this article, a careful case study was developed, based on research into the participation of women farmers in the Food Acquisition Program (PAF), establishing parameters for analysis of whether this participation increased their level of economic and personal empowerment.

Objectives:
The objective of the study is to evaluate plasma homocysteine level and its relation with serum estrogen in pre and postmenopausal women as a risk factor in coronary artery disease (CAD).

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among premenopausal (n = 50) and postmenopausal women (n = 50) with an estimation of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) and serum estradiol (E2). Postmenopausal women based on their angiographic status were sub-grouped into A (with normal coronaries) and B (with CAD).

Results:
The levels of Hcy, 21.98 (20.89–24.05) μmol/L, increased significantly (P < 0.0001) and that of E2, 3.05 (2.32–3.6) pg/mL, decreased significantly (P = 0.0001) in the postmenopausal group when compared to Hcy, 6.11 (4.94–8.27) μmol/L and E2, 26.37 (25.3–29) pg/mL in premenopausal group. The levels of Hcy were elevated (24.7 ± 3.92 μmol/L) in postmenopausal Group B in comparison with postmenopausal Group A (21.37 ± 3.31 μmol/L), P = 0.002. Logistic regression analysis showed Hcy and body mass index to be independent predictors of CAD. Plasma Hcy showed an area under curve (AUC) of 1.00 with sensitivity and specificity of 100% at cutoff >12.6 μmol/L between pre and postmenopausal groups and AUC of 0.722 with 60% sensitivity and 84% specificity at cutoff >23.7 μmol/L between postmenopausal Groups A and B.

Conclusion:
We observed low E2 and high Hcy levels in postmenopausal women in comparison with premenopausal women. Among postmenopausal women, those with CAD had higher Hcy levels. Assessing Hcy levels routinely in postmenopausal women will help in better risk prediction of CAD and may also help in conjunction with other risk factors to decide the initiation of hormone replacement therapy.

Published: May 2024

Background:Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) of the craniocervical junction (CCJ) and intradural AVFs are often associated with aneurysms and varics, and it is sometimes difficult to identify the ruptured point on radiological images. We report a case in which vessel wall magnetic resonance image (VW-MRI) was useful for identifying the ruptured point at the CCJ AVF.Case Description:A 70-year-old man presented with a sudden onset of headache. He had Glasgow Coma Scale E4V5M6, world federation of neurosurgical societies (WFNS) Grade I. Fisher group 3 subarachnoid hemorrhage and hydrocephalus were found on head computed tomography. Cerebral angiography showed a spinal AVF at the C1 level of the cervical spine. Magnetic resonance image-enhanced motion sensitized driven equilibrium (MSDE-method showed an enhancing effect in part of the AVF draining vein, but the vascular architecture of this lesion was indeterminate. We performed continuous ventricular drainage for acute hydrocephalus and antihypertensive treatment. Cerebral angiography was performed 30days after the onset of the disease, and was revealed an aneurysmal structure in a portion of the AVF draining vein, which VW-MRI initially enhanced. On the 38thday after onset, he underwent direct surgery to occlude the AV fistula and dissect the aneurysmal structure. Histopathology showed that the aneurysmal structure was varices with lymphocytic infiltration, and hemosiderin deposition was observed near the varices.Conclusion:Recently, VW-MRI has been reported to show an association between the enhancement of varices in dural AVF and rupture cases. VW-MRI, especially the enhanced MSDE method, may be useful in estimating the ruptured point in arteriovenous shunt disease.
Intramedullary spinal cord abscess as postoperative complication: A case report
Authors: Valeri Amber Lynn , Alayli Adam , Gordon Jonah , Lockard Gavin , Tran Nam D. 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Intramedullary spinal cord abscesses (ISCA) can result in high morbidity and mortality if not treated in a timely manner. The incidence and outcomes of postsurgical ISCA are unknown. We present a case of a 52-year-old male patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 who developed an intramedullary spinal cord abscess after a previous resection of a cervical intradural, extramedullary neurofibroma.

Case Description:
A 52-year-old male with a history of neurofibromatosis type 1 had previously undergone multiple resections of cervical intradural, extramedullary neurofibromas with internal stabilization. Sixteen months after his initial surgery, he developed acute-onset interscapular pain with bilateral lower extremity pain and left hemi-body weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine demonstrated an enlarging contrast-enhancing intramedullary lesion. Surgical exploration and evacuation of the lesion were completed. Intramedullary cultures confirmed a Serratia marcescens abscess. After abscess evacuation and intravenous antibiotics, the patient’s symptoms resolved.

Conclusion:
Given the potential for permanent neurologic damage and loss of independence with intramedullary spinal cord abscess, we advocate that clinicians maintain a high index of suspicion in the postsurgical patient. Diagnostic imaging through contrasted MRI or computed tomography myelogram should be obtained, and prompt intervention, including evacuation and/or antibiotics, should be implemented for the best chance of a favorable outcome.

This study reveals that online video games have emerged as a novel platform for social interaction, wherein numerous gaming options facilitate player’s competition and collective interaction within the virtual realm. Gamers have increasingly begun to form distinct virtual social communities due to the inherent capacity of these games to facilitate social networking in a multiplayer online setting. This phenomenon has given rise to a unique social dynamic among video game enthusiasts. The present study delves into an exploration of the social gaming behaviour exhibited by participants engaged in multiplayer online games. Additionally, it seeks to establish a correlation between virtual and real-world behaviours by examining the relationship between destructive and constructive social behaviours and the dominance and affiliation dimensions of social interaction.
Purpose: Online gaming has become a unique phenomenon among the young players with a significant influence on them. The basic objective of this study was to determine the social interaction caused by online gaming among young game players. This study conducted in Pakistani perspective has achieved the objections set to analyze the influence of online gaming and increased level of social interaction.
Design/Methodology/Approach: To conduct this investigation, an online survey was administered to individuals who regularly engage in multiplayer gaming activities and dedicate a substantial portion of their daily time to gaming. The study sample consisted of 200 gamers spanning an age range of 16 to 30 years.
Findings: The results of this inquiry shed light on the prevalence of pro-social behaviour and anti-social behaviour, characterized by constructive and destructive actions among gamers, respectively. Furthermore, the study reveals that destructive behaviour negatively predicts affiliation, while constructive behaviour has a positive predictive influence on affiliation. Moreover, certain demographic variables, such as age and gender, exert a significant impact on the prediction of dominance within the gaming community. The findings of this study provide substantial support for the notion that virtual social interactions have a notable influence on real-world behaviours, underscoring the interconnectedness between the online gaming environment and broader social dynamics.
Implications/Originality/Value: Online gaming has become a common practice not only among young adults but also among the minors. Thus, this phenomenon has reduced physical activities among the youth and even among the school going children. This study may provide an insight into the matter and possible appropriate recommendations as well.

Published: May 2024

Gender differences can affect the use of language and socially divide it into male and female language. This study aims to analyze female and male language features spoken by male and female characters in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire novel and the social contexts that causes differences in language use in that fictional story using Coates’s (2016) theory of language features and Holmes’s (2013) theory of language and social context. An explanatory sequential mixed methods design was used through two stages to collect and analyze data; quantitative and qualitative. The results show that the dominant female language feature is hedge while the male ones are command and directives. However, there are cross-gender, or shared language features in both male and female languages: hedges, tag questions and questions found in male language features; and commands, directives, swearing and taboo language found in female language features. The results indicate that the use of cross-gender language features can be caused by the social context during the conversation. Those social contexts are social distance, status, formality and functionality.
