Published: February 2024

In the digital world, borders between countries are fading, and many people keep making more and more online purchases, often from offshore vendors. Cross-border e-commerce is a game-changer for international trade but poses serious challenges for traditional customs procedures. As the number of parcels continues to grow rapidly, customs authorities around the world strive to balance between effective revenue collection, trade facilitation, and proper safety controls. At the EU level, significant revenue losses and competition distortion have led to changes in VAT rules with a key policy objective to fight tax fraud in e-commerce and reduce the administrative burden of VAT collection. The VAT e-commerce package that came into force on July 1, 2021, includes measures on imports of low-value goods from third countries. The adopted solution imposes liability on digital platforms that play a crucial role in the rise of B2C internet sales. This article provides an overview of e-commerce global trends and challenges, international organizations’ initiatives, emerging technology pilots, as well as best practices. It also offers a critical description of the new EU VAT provisions that have a severe effect on customs. Moreover, it describes the design, functional, and interoperability specifications of a proposed web-based application that enables buyers to lodge customs declarations themselves, aiming for improved transparency on import-related charges and more effective e-government at a more general level through the digital transformation of customs clearance.

Published: February 2024

This article aims to explore and integrate the concept of spiritual leadership into the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the Polytechnic as a response to the moral crisis in national leadership. PAI, as a mandatory national subject, holds a strategic position in providing knowledge and understanding to students about the importance of leadership based on spiritual values. With this, it is hoped that students can become leaders who possess moral sensitivity, integrity, and strong leadership competencies in the future. The research approach used is qualitative, where data is collected through interviews, observations, and document studies. The documents explored in this research include the Syllabus, Course Materials, textbooks, and various literature related to the examined theme. Furthermore, an analysis is conducted on the context of the Polytechnic based on Spiritual Leadership, including the understanding of PAI at the Polytechnic and the need for relevant Islamic leadership material constructs. The final step is the development of Islamic leadership material constructs based on spiritual leadership. Studies on the constructs of leadership materials in PAI courses at the Polytechnic are rarely conducted, thus this article overlooks an important initial study that needs to be conducted. This serves as the novelty of this research. The study findings indicate that Islamic leadership in the constructs of course materials can be provided starting with the introduction of (1) the concept of Islamic leadership, (2) the Story of King Saul (Raja Thalut), and (3) the Values of King Saul's Leadership. Course assignments are carried out through (1) Memorizing Surah Al-Baqarah verses 246-252, (2) Leadership Case Analysis, (3) Leadership Simulation, and (4) Collaboration with the industry. Course evaluation is conducted through (1) Written Exams, (2) Individual Assignments, and (3) Group Discussions. Keywords : Leadership, Studi of Islam,Spiritual Leadership
HOUSING AND COMMUNAL PROVISION OF THE POPULATION OF THE UKRAINIAN SSR (1953-1964)
Authors: Potapenko Ruslana , Balan Vitaliy 
Published: February 2024

In the conditions of the russian-Ukrainian war, there is a request to study the history of Ukraine, in part – values and ideals of the nation, material and cultural heritage, features of cultural development. In this context, the experience of studying the Soviet past, which left a legacy of numerous colonial deformations, post-colonial and post-totalitarian syndromes, is valuable, «scoop», manifested in the immaturity of civil society, the lack of formation of the national idea, the problems of the spiritual and cultural spheres, language policy and a number of socio-economic contradictions. To date, the housing issue of the period of De-Stalinization in Ukraine in 1953-1964 remains understudied. The housing crisis is relevant both in the studied period and today.The article notes the complexities and transformations of the Khrushchev "thaw" period, which can be characterized from the household side, in particular, gasification, electrification, water supply, heating, sewage, etc. That is, housing and communal provision. The situation was complicated by the post-war reconstruction and large-scale destroyed infrastructure of Ukraine. Thus, in the Ukrainian SSR, there was a banal lack of housing. People lived in dilapidated houses that needed major repairs or were even beyond repair.Active housing construction was launched. As a result, many "Khrushobs", later "Khrushchevka", appeared, which can be characterized as cramped, poor, uncomfortable, uncomfortable housing estates without any hint of aesthetics. The architecture of the cities became of a mixed type, sometimes absurd, which negatively affected the architectural ensemble of individual cities. At the same time, the question of the village remained relevant, since the material and everyday situation of the rural population can be qualified, in our opinion, as critical, and not only because of the consequences associated with the Second World War, but also because of the poor Stalinist leadership. A peasant's home can be characterized as follows: simple architectural design with minimal planning. Another problem at that time was the insufficient water supply of settlements. As a result of the weak development of the water supply system, the slow pace of construction of new ones and the expansion of existing ones. The low level of water supply affected not only the physical condition of people and personal hygiene, but also led to unsanitary conditions in the premises due to the paralyzed operation of the sewage system.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Dyslipidemia is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and stroke. The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between HbA1C and body mass index (BMI) among patients with high lipid profiles.

METHODS: This retrospective, hospital-based study was conducted at Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare Facilities. Data were extracted from medical health records and included demographics, lipid profiles, and HBA1c measurements. The study included 2368 participants, and DATAtab was used to analyse the data.

RESULTS: The participants were 57.05% male and 78.42% Saudi. The mean age was 41.48±12.1 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.44±5.53. There was a statistically significant relationship between the use of lipid lowering medicine and HbA1c (P<0.001). There was a very weak positive but statistically significant relationship between HbA1c and BMI (r = 0.18, P<0.001). HbA1c and systolic blood pressure appeared to have a statistically significant positive association (r = 0.16, P< 0.001). There was no correlation between HbA1c and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), or diastolic blood pressure. There was an inverse correlation between HbA1c and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (r = -0.11, P< 0.001). Regression was performed using a linear multivariable analysis with HbA1c as the dependent variable, and the age (B 0.192, P<0.001), BMI (B 0.119, P<0.001), HDL (B -0.058, P<0.005), Triglyceride (B 0.093, P<0.001), lipid lowering medication (B 0.104, P<0.001), systolic BP (B 0.060, P< 0.003) as independents variables.

CONCLUSION: The results indicated that HbA1c is linked to BMI, age, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, and HDL-C levels. There was no correlation between HbA1c and LDL-C, TC, and diastolic blood pressure.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: To assess long-term clinical results following bilateral Tecnis Symfony ZXR00 intraocular lens implantation with mini-monovision.Methods: The medical records of cataract patients who underwent bilateral implantation of ZXR00 with intended mini-monovision (target refraction of –0.3 diopters [D] in dominant eye and –0.6 D in nondominant eye) between April 2019 and March 2021 were assessed. Postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance VA (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate VA (UIVA), uncorrected near VA (UNVA), and rate of spectacle dependence for near distance were investigated at 3 months and 2 years after surgery.Results: This study included 61 patients (122 eyes) with average age of 61.8 ± 7.7 years. At 2 years postoperatively, binocular logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution UDVA, UIVA, UNVA, and CDVA were 0.086 ± 0.094, 0.056 ± 0.041, 0.140 ± 0.045, and 0.012 ± 0.024, respectively. The monocular manifest refraction spherical equivalent was –0.31 ± 0.38 in the dominant eye and –0.53 ± 0.47 in the nondominant eye at 3 months postoperatively, and –0.38 ± 0.43 in the dominant eye and –0.61 ± 0.54 in the nondominant eye at 2 years postoperatively. Eight out of 61 patients (13.1%) needed glasses 3 months after surgery, and nine out of 61 patients (14.8%) needed glasses 2 years after surgery.Conclusions: The bilateral implantation of ZXR00s with mini-monovision allows for a good VA at wide range of distance from far to near, thereby resulting in high rate of spectacle independence. These results have held up well even after 2 years after surgery.

Background: Intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI) is associated with increased risk of preterm birth and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but the mechanisms by which IAI leads to preterm birth and BPD are poorly understood, and there are no effective therapies for preterm birth and BPD. The transcription factor c-Myc regulates various biological processes like cell growth, apoptosis, and inflammation. We hypothesized that c-Myc modulates inflammation at the maternal-fetal interface, and neonatal lung remodeling. The objectives of our study were 1) to determine the kinetics of c-Myc in the placenta, fetal membranes and neonatal lungs exposed to IAI, and 2) to determine the role of c-Myc in modulating inflammation at the maternal-fetal interface, and neonatal lung remodeling induced by IAI.Methods: Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups: 1) Intra-amniotic saline injections only (control), 2) Intra-amniotic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injections only, and 3) Intra-amniotic LPS injections with c-Myc inhibitor 10058-F4. c-Myc expression, markers of inflammation, angiogenesis, immunohistochemistry, and transcriptomic analyses were performed on placenta and fetal membranes, and neonatal lungs to determine kinetics of c-Myc expression in response to IAI, and effects of prenatal systemic c-Myc inhibition on lung remodeling at postnatal day 14.Results: c-Myc was upregulated in the placenta, fetal membranes, and neonatal lungs exposed to IAI. IAI caused neutrophil infiltration and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in the placenta and fetal membranes, and neonatal lung remodeling with pulmonary hypertension consistent with a BPD phenotype. Prenatal inhibition of c-Myc with 10058-F4 in IAI decreased neutrophil infiltration and NET formation, and improved neonatal lung remodeling induced by LPS, with improved alveolarization, increased angiogenesis, and decreased pulmonary vascular remodeling.Discussion: In a rat model of IAI, c-Myc regulates neutrophil recruitment and NET formation in the placenta and fetal membranes. c-Myc also participates in neonatal lung remodeling induced by IAI. Further studies are needed to investigate c-Myc as a potential therapeutic target for IAI and IAI-associated BPD.
