Authors: Aryanti Hery , Ani Luh Seri , Karmaya I Nyoman Mangku 
Published: April 2024

Background and purpose: Early marriage considered as a major issue in Indonesia including West Nusa Tenggara Province with a prevalence of 23.9%. This results in the increasing number of total fertility rate (TFR) as many as 2.8 children. This is higher than the national TFR (2.36). An effective implementation of family planning program can decrease TFR. Until currently very limited study have identified factors associated to the use of contraceptive methods among early marriage couple in Aikmel Subdistrict East Lombok.
Method: This is a cross-sectional quantitative study involving 84 early marriage women in Aikmel Subdistrict East Lombok. Samples were selected using convenience method and were interviewed to obtain data related to characteristic, contraceptive method history, knowledge, information from health provider and support from their husband. Data were analysed using univariate and bivariate (chi square test).
Results: The majority of respondent’s first time marriage were at aged ≥17 year (64.3%). Most of the respondents have low education level (66.7%) and do not work (57.1%), have low level of knowledge (92,9%), lack of information from health provider (91.7%) and lack of support from husband (51.2%). Husband’s support was found to be the most significant factor associated to contraceptive use among early marriage women (p<0,001). Other factors including age at first marriage, education level, employment, level of knowledge and information from health providers were not statistically associated to contraceptive use.
Conclusion: Support from husband is the most significant factor associated to contraceptive use among early marriage women in Aikmel Subdistrict East Lombok.

Background and purpose: Smoke-free area regulation has been issued recently in Bali Province and Badung District. This study aimed to identify factors associated to the compliance of local smoke-free regulation in star hotel.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analytic study conducted in Badung District from March to May 2014. Samples were 104 hotels and the managers that selected using systematic random sampling. Compliance data collected through observation using the observation form and the data of managers through interviews using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using chi-square test and poisson regression.
Result: The results shows that the compliance of star hotels to local smoke-free regulation was low (15.4%). The concrete support of hotel managers was significantly associated with the compliance to smoke free regulation (PR=4.25; 95%CI: 1.03-17.58). The factors that not significantly associated to the compliance were the knowledge (PR=2.0; 95%CI: 0.8-4.9), attitude (PR=2.5; 95%CI: 0.8-8.2), and organization support (PR=1.8; 95%CI: 0.7-4.5). Furthermore the hotel compliance of managers who have smoking behavior was 0% while the managers without smoking behavior, the compliance was 19.5%.
Conclusion: The compliance of star hotels in Badung District on the implementation of local smoke-free regulation was relatively low and the compliance was associated with the presence of concrete support of the hotel managers.
Heterogeneity effect of technical measures: Evidence from the Vietnam seafood trade
Authors: Nga Le Thi Viet , Minh Doan Nguyen 
Published: April 2024

The free trade movement sweeping across the globe has destabilized the role of tariffs and emphasized the importance of technical measures as the main tool for regulating trade. The effect of technical measures on trade flow is both controversial and ambiguous despite their undeniable popularity in both theoretical and empirical literature. Empirical evidence shows both a positive and negative relationship between technical measures and trade volume which raises the question of “what determinants create and dictate the heterogeneity associating with the effect of technical measures on trade”. This paper aims at constructing a theoretical foundation that explains the mechanics by which technical measures affect trade flow and identifies the existence of the heterogeneity effect of SPS and TBT measures on Vietnam’s seafood exports by using a gravity model with a combination of PPML and moderator estimation. Accordingly, an additional SPS measure boosts the export of Vietnam’s seafood by 0.3% but an additional TBT measure decreases Vietnam’s seafood export by 1.9% on average. Furthermore, the results of this study also confirm the moderating role of firms’ efficiency and consumers’ preferences in determining the impact of technical barriers on trade. This paper also recommends some solutions for the Vietnamese government and enterprises to enhance their ability to comply with TBT and SPS measures to promote seafood export.
Technology Integration in Music Education and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: O'Leary Emmett J. , Bannerman Julie K. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused schools to implement a variety of teaching modalities, with technology playing a central role in teachers’ work. Music education was no exception. Music teachers were required to use educational technology in new ways throughout pandemic teaching, but it was unknown if the pandemic would foment meaningful changes to ongoing educational praxis or represent a temporary adaptation in teaching. This descriptive qualitative study explored music educators’ experiences teaching with technology during the COVID-19 pandemic and their expectations for using technology in their classrooms moving forward. Fourteen music educators from throughout the United States participated in two semistructured interviews describing their work during and through the pandemic. Findings indicated that pandemic music teaching environments and the complexities of teaching in new modalities intensified known barriers to technology integration, such as access, training, and alignment with teachers’ pedagogical values (Ertmer et al., 2012; Francom, 2020). Participants actively evaluated and curated technology for use in their classrooms, with varying levels of access and support. Music teachers engaged in self-directed professional development, relying on colleagues and online professional communities on social media. Although music teachers reported greater comfort with technology for music teaching, many welcomed a return to normal learning environments as pandemic constraints eased. Findings suggest that pandemic-related adjustments to teaching practices will not foment sustainable technology integration in participants’ music classrooms.

Published: April 2024

Background: Prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients can result in adverse outcomes, prompting consideration of tracheostomy (TQT) as a potential intervention. However, the optimal timing for TQT remains uncertain, necessitating further investigation into the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing early versus late TQT. Objectives: To compare outcomes, including duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital stays, and mortality rates, between patients undergoing early TQT (within approximately ten days of oro-tracheal intubation) and those undergoing late TQT (after ten days). Study Design: This study utilised a retrospective cohort design. Setting: Data were collected from patients admitted to Bahria International Hospital's ICU. Duration of Study: Data collection occurred between January 2022 and December 2023. Material and Methods: Patients were stratified based on the timing of TQT placement, and clinical outcomes were analysed accordingly. Parameters assessed included duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital stays, and mortality rates. Results: Patients in the early TQT group demonstrated shorter ICU and hospital stays (20 ± 17 vs. 33 ± 23 days, p = 0.03; 43 ± 33 vs. 53 ± 49 days, p = 0.01, respectively), reduced duration of mechanical ventilation (18 ± 15 vs. 31 ± 19 days, p < 0.001), and a higher ICU survival rate (64% vs. 55%). Conclusion: Early tracheostomy placement, performed within ten days of mechanical ventilation initiation, appears to confer benefits in shorter ICU and hospital stays, reduced mechanical ventilation duration, and improved ICU survival rates. These findings highlight the importance of timely TQT placement in critical care management strategies.

Then, in 2022, the company made many disclosures on GRI 300, namely environmental aspects, and less on GRI 200 disclosures, namely economic aspects. Overall, over five periods, disclosure rates in the GRI 200 environmental category tended to be higher than those in the other two categories at 69%. In the economic category, there was a disclosure rate of 68%, and in the social category, there was 55% related to disclosure.
Role of Special Economic Zones Policy in Increasing Azerbaijan’s Economic Development
Authors: Najafzada Yusif 
Published: April 2024

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have become a significant feature of global economies, providing incentives for investment, and specifically examines the case of SEZs in Azerbaijan, focusing on government involvement in their development fostering mass production, boosting exports, and addressing unemployment. This article delves into the landscape of SEZs globally. Utilizing data collection and literature review methods, the research evaluates the performance and characteristics of Azerbaijani SEZs.The findings reveal that while Azerbaijani SEZs have shown growth, they have not fully realized their potential. Factors such as legislative reforms, government participation, and the nature of incentives offered have influenced their success. SEZs with foreign investment and strategic planning, such as the Sumgait Chemical-Industrial Park and Hajiqabul Industrial Estate, have fared better than others. However, some SEZs have struggled due to domestic market dynamics and short-term business strategies. To enhance the role of SEZs in the economy, the article proposes several strategies for the Azerbaijani government. Firstly, a shift in the SEZ strategy from mere stimulus areas to revenue-generating enterprises is recommended to ensure a steady income stream for the government and foster competitiveness. Secondly, exploring joint ventures in SEZ development, either through public-private or public-public partnerships, could attract diverse investment sources and alleviate financial burdens on the government. Lastly, restructuring SEZ legislation to offer long-term incentives and cater to the needs of larger corporations is advised, making SEZs more attractive for sustained investment and contributing to sector-specific development goals.
Baloch Insurgency and External Involvement amid the Taliban rise in Afghanistan: Implications for Pakistan
Authors: Rashid Asma , Shafiq Shameen 
Published: April 2024

Taliban has taken control of Afghanistan; the US-influenced government of Ashraf Ghani has surrendered, a two-decade-long war ended, and the Taliban proclaimed their acting government on 7 September 2021 and resumed the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan. Pakistan is in support of an inclusive Taliban-led government in Afghanistan and providing Aid to the country for rebuilding and reconstruction of the affected neighbor while hoping for recognition from the international community. Taliban’s regime in Afghanistan is a game-changer for South Asian regional politics as now China, Russia, and Iran's interests lie in this area. The Study is an attempt to examine the effects of the Taliban’s government on Pakistan’s national security, integrity, and economy with special concern for China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), and Foreign Relations by taking the Baluchistan insurgency as an example. This research will answer intriguing questions such as how the Taliban’s government of Afghanistan affects the Baluch insurgency. The purpose of this research is to determine if the Taliban-led Afghan government deepens Pakistan's woes or serves the country's national interests. This paper argues that Baluch insurgents were previously hiding in Afghanistan and unstable Afghan territory was used against Pakistan by the enemies to exacerbate of Baluch insurgency and escalate terrorism to destabilize Pakistan. This study also argues that the New Taliban Government in Afghanistan has an amalgamation of encouraging and detrimental outcomes for Pakistan as supporting the Afghan Taliban government has visible impacts on regional politics and the dynamics of Pakistan’s relations with the United States, Iran, and with regional powers, Russia, and China.
Article: Echostar-7: The US Imposes First-Ever Fine for Failure to Comply with Deorbiting Plan
Authors: Johnson Christopher D. , Masson-Zwaan Tanja 
Published: April 2024

The October 2023 enforcement decision by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) signifies a historical benchmark in the enforcement of space sustainability measures over private commercial space actors. Echostar-7, a commercial satellite launched in 2002 and operating at the Earth’s Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO), provided direct broadcast telecommunications services to the US consumer market. Its operator, DISH Operating LLC failed to properly boost the spacecraft to a disposal ‘graveyard’ orbit above GEO as required as part of its governmental licence. An investigation by the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau resulted in a Consent Decree with Dish, whereby Dish accepted liability, agreed to pay a penalty fine of 150,000 USD, and agreed to submit and adhere to a compliance plan regarding the proper disposal of the Echostar-7 spacecraft.

Article: EU Document Registers: Empirical Gaps Limiting the Right of Access to Documents in Europe
Authors: Haller Matthias , Rosani Domenico 
Published: April 2024

This article examines the instrument of document registers as a pivotal medium for ensuring the right of access to EU documents and public accountability. While the general right of access to documents has been extensively analysed, document registers and especially their practice are still under-examined. This article specifically focuses on the registers of the Parliament, the Council and the Commission, highlighting two striking gaps. The first gap exists between the strict rules of the Access Regulation and the softer rules of the institutions, the second between what is provided on the abstract level by these rules and the practical level. As shown by an empirical study of the user-friendliness, completeness and proactivity of the registers, their current design and limited content severely limit people’s right of access. In light of these shortcomings, this article recommends different practical approaches to increase the effectiveness of document registers. This would significantly improve the actual implementation of the right of public access to documents, while at the same time reducing the administrative burden on EU public institutions.

Published: April 2024

Um dos maiores desafios enfrentados pela sociedade civil é encontrar formas de preservar as fontes de água, livres de contaminações e adequadas ao consumo humano. Essa dificuldade está relacionada à contaminação dos lençóis freáticos em virtude da expansão urbana, sem o devido planejamento, tendo como consequência o uso e ocupação do solo desordenado. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a qualidade da água de dois poços localizados no município de Lábrea, situado no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amazonas (IFAM). Foram selecionados dois poços: a) o poço 1 (um) que está em atividade e localiza-se dentro do Instituto; b) o poço 2 (dois) (2) que está desativado e localiza-se na área externa ao Instituto. Para a verificação dos parâmetros físico-químicos e microbiológicos, foram analisados os seguintes parâmetros: pH, Turbidez, Cor, Coliformes Termotolerantes, Coliformes Totais, Condutividade Elétrica, Nitrogênio Total, Fósforo Total, Demanda Bioquímica de Oxigênio (DBO5), Oxigênio Dissolvido e Sólidos Totais Dissolvidos, comparando os resultados com os padrões preestabelecidos pela legislação vigente. O poço 2 (dois), desativado, localizado na área externa, apresentou valores de alguns parâmetros acima dos estabelecidos pela legislação. A desativação desse poço é considerada uma medida apropriada, pois os resultados indicam que a qualidade da água não está em conformidade com os padrões estabelecidos.

How does review content contribute to the patients’ review helpfulness in online health communities?
Authors: Ouyang Peng 
Published: April 2024

This study examines the effects of review content on review helpfulness in OHCs by focusing on two variables: sentiment and informational support description. Given that review helpfulness is a truncated variable, we employ Tobit regression models to evaluate the effects. The results indicate that both positive and negative sentiment contribute to review helpfulness. Moreover, there exists a positive association between informational support description and review helpfulness. When affecting review helpfulness, informational support description negatively moderates the impact of sentiment on review helpfulness.
Optimal production decision and supply chain coordination under different capital conditions
Authors: Huang Fuyou , Gao Zhe 
Published: April 2024

This paper investigates a two-level supply chain composed of a retailer and a manufacturer with budget-constrained. The manufacturer’s optimal production quantity is explored under different own capital conditions, and the gap between in the decentralized system with wholesale price contract and in the centralized system is discussed. Then, an option contract is used to investigate the supply chain coordination issue. The results show that, when the manufacturer has enough capital, both the production quantity and the expected profit in the decentralized system with wholesale price contract are less than that in the centralized system, and the gap between in the decentralized system and in the centralized system is increasing on the own capital. The option contract can coordinate the supply chain with budget-constrained, and in the presence of supply chain coordination, both the manufacturer and the retailer can become better off by setting reasonable option contracts. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate these finds.
