| The Relationship of Kidney Functions in Regulating the Level of Fluids and Salts for Patients and Conducting Some Biochemical and Hormonal Variables | Author : Neran thaár kleb, Asmaa Abdulhaq mohammed | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The study of paper is basic functions of the kidney in the body are many, the most important of which is what is represented in the role of the kidney and how to balance and maintain the normal proportions of fluids and salts necessary for the body and what this continuous effort of the kidneys is of utmost importance to maintain the normal pressure, so when the efficiency of the kidney decreases, it will need a higher pressure to subtract the amount of salts and water required Subtracting it, then, the blood pressure level changes to its normal level when the positive movement of the glomerular arteries changes. Renin is secreted by the kidneys and it has the main and effective role in maintaining normal blood pressure and its important role in most cases of high blood pressure, the resonance is secreted from specialized cells in the kidney as it leads to stimulation of the Angiotensinogen hormone that works to convert Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II and is the last of the strongest hormones It is effective in increasing the contraction of blood vessels and increasing its concentration in the blood above the normal level leads to high blood pressure because it has an effect on the contraction of the peripheral blood vessels, and the contraction of the blood vessels of the kidney reduces the process of reabsorption, which leads to the progression of hypertension. Also, the hormone angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce the hormone Aldosterone, which forms a fundamental role in the absorption of fluids and salts through the kidneys and are the three regulators (Resonance, angiotensin, aldosterone) The primary control for maintaining normal blood pressure. |

| The Effect of Chayote Juice (Sechium Edule) on Mda and Il-6 Levels (Experimental Study on Male Wistar Rats Induced with High-Fat Diet) | Author : Ayu Chasmirahayu, Joko Wahyu Wibowo, Titiek Sumarawati | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Dyslipidemia is an increase in total cholesterol, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, and a decrease high- Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Consequences of consuming fat cause the metabolism of free fatty acids resulting in an imbalance between free radicals and the bodys natural antioxidants which causes a condition of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results in tissue damage which triggers an inflammatory reaction that releases pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and triggers Malondialdehyde (MDA) due to lipid oxidation in tissues. Consuming antioxidants from outside the body can neutralize this condition, such as chayote juice. The aim of this study is to know the effect of giving chayote juice on the rate of MDA and IL- 6 in male Wistar rats who are given a high-fat diet. The research method is experimental research with a post-test-only control group design. The study subjects were 24 male Wistar rats, randomly divided into 4 groups. Group K1 was given standard feed and distillate water. Group K2 was without chayote juice but was given a high-fat diet. Groups- K3 and K4 were given a high-fat diet and chayote juice at doses of 1.8mL/200gBW/day and 3.6mL/200gBW/day, respectively. The study was conducted at IBL FK UNISSULA for 29 days by taking blood to check MDA levels using the TBARS and IL-6 methods using the ELISA method. Results showed that the lowest average MDA level was in the K4 group (0.058 ng/L) and the lowest average IL-6 level was in the K3 group (4.513 ppm). One-way ANOVA test result showed a significant difference in MDA levels with p = 0.021 and IL-6 levels showed no significant difference with p = 0.108. The Tahmane test result showed the MDA levels in K1 and K4 showed a significant difference in K2 (p<0.05). Test LSD test result showed the IL-6 levels in K3 showed a significant difference to K2 (p<0.05).

| The Innovation of New Dry Ports in Zimbabwe: The Critical Success Factors (CSF) And Fault Lines | Author : Dr.Faustino Taderera, Professor Marian Tukuta, Dr.Reason Masengu, Dr.Lovemore Chikazhe | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This research is about, “The innovation of new dry ports in Zimbabwe: the Critical Success Factors (CSF) and fault lines.” Zimbabwe wanted to start four new dry ports across the country and researchers wanted to help by carrying out research on critical success factors to make these dry ports a success, based on success stories elsewhere, and avoid having another white elephant or disappointment. Researchers used the survey questionnaire method as well as face to face interviews, expert panel interviews at universities, observation and literature review in this research. Findings revealed that dry ports required total connectivity to strategic national institutions and corporates like warehouses, bonded warehouses, airports, Ministries, roads, Customs and Excise Department and railways, and these must all fully embrace e-government/smart supply chain and be strategically linked to all importers and exporters as well as critical trade and related government departments. This is a new concept in Zimbabwe but quite old elsewhere. Systems and institutions have improved a lot but still needed further improvement in Zimbabwe to march SADC/COMESA competitors like South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Mozambique. It was found that critical skills, ports, Customs and investment infrastructure in Zimbabwe needed to be improved as well as processing and turnaround time to match best practices in SADC/COMESA and globally. A One Stop Shop for investment was there but not fully operationalised to cover all transactions, is about partly operational. Delayed deliveries and wrong documentation were experienced sometimes due to port and Customs delays or transport and loading delays. Zimbabwe had made great strides no doubt and was marching on for stardom and big achievements. This paper is futuristic and will be mostly based on best practices globally which Zimbabwe can learn from and start successful dry ports that really add value to the national economy, and avoid toxic bottlenecks and cost overruns. It was time Zimbabwe started to seriously adopt smart blockchain technologies like South Africa to improve efficiencies and turnaround time. One of the biggest frustrations and costs in the value chain was customs delays, fuel shortages and power outages. Something must be done long-term to address these bottlenecks. Dry ports were just like any other business and were concerned about ease of doing business, national competitiveness, country of origin effect, and national image. A business was a business regardless of sector, as they all used the same benchmarks and standards, and deliverables were achievable in a conducive national business environment which generated maximum profits to shareholders and taxes to the government whilst creating thousands of jobs, giving a world-class logistics service, being a national prestige project, national pride and point of reference, giving wide product choice and prosperity to the nation, and operating with environmental protection and ethics in mind. Zimbabwean politicians, the population at large, NGOs, and industrialists needed to get this message as clear as possible. |

| The Effect of Coconut Water on Decreasing MDA and IL-6 Levels in Male Wistar Rats Induced with High-Fat Diet | Author : Shaktana Kusumaningrat, Siti Thomas, Joko Wahyu Wibowo | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Dyslipidemia is a condition in which there are abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, including increased levels of cholesterol, LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein), and triglyceride levels, as well as decreased HDL levels (High-Density Lipoprotein) which causes oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results in tissue damage which triggers an inflammatory reaction that releases proinflammatory cytokines such asInterleukin-6 (IL-6) which increases in blood endothelial cells and triggers Malondialdehyde (MDA) which increases as a result presence of lipid oxidation in tissues. This condition can be neutralized by consuming antioxidants from outside the body such as young coconut water. This research aims to know the effect of giving young coconut water on the rate of MDA and IL-6 in male Wistar rats who are given a high-fat diet. The research method is a posttest-only control group design. The subjects of the study were 24 male Wistar rats which were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group K1 was given standard feed and distilled water. Group K2 was given a high-fat diet without coconut water. Groups K3 and K4 were given a highfat diet and young coconut water at doses of 4mL/200gBW/day and 8mL/200gBW/day, respectively. The study was conducted for 29 days by taking blood to check MDA levels using the TBARS and IL-6 methods using the ELISA method. The lowest average of MDA level was in the K3 group (0.071 ng/L) and the lowest average of IL-6 level was in the K4 group (4.377 ppm). Kruskal Wallis test result showed the p-value of MDA was 0.004 ppm and at IL-6 levels was 0.020 ng/L. Differences in MDA levels between groups K1-K2 (0.004), K2-K3 (0.004), and -K4 (0.004). Differences in IL-6 levels between groups K2-K3 (0.016), K2-K4 (0.004). The administration of coconut water can significantly reduce the levels of MDA and IL-6 in male Wistar rats induced with a high-fat diet. |

| Village Development Study Based on the Developing Village Index in Bati-Bati District, Tanah Laut Regency | Author : Adhi Surya, Sulastini, Syahrial Shaddiq | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The concept of the Development Village Index (IDM) itself is then explained in the Ministry of Village Regulation (Permendes) No. 2 of 2016 concerning patterns and maps of village development development. In article 3 it is stated that the IDM concept is integrated from several categories within it which include: Economic Resilience Index (IKE), Environmental Resilience Index (IKL), and Social Resilience Index (IKS). These three factors are then used as a reference in the process of measuring the level of independence and progress of a village. The set of indicators developed in the Developing Village Index was developed based on the concept that towards an advanced and independent village a sustainable development framework is needed in which social, economic and ecological aspects become forces that complement each other and maintain the potential and ability of the village to prosper village life. Village community development and empowerment policies and activities must produce equity and justice, be based on and strengthen local and cultural values, and be environmentally friendly by managing the potential of natural resources properly and sustainably. In this context, social, economic and ecological resilience work as a dimension that strengthens the process and achievement of village community development and empowerment goals. In the village regulations themselves, Law no. 6 of 2014 has also provided a stimulus and supported the acceleration of the village development agenda (STIT et al., 2018). The thing that becomes the main focus point is the village community as the first subject and who gets attention for the independence of the village community. So that the process of forming an independent village community is expected to have positive implications for village communities and can increase the village development index. The Developing Village Index captures the development of Village independence based on the implementation of the Village Law with the support of Village Funds and Village Facilitators. The Development Village Index directs the accuracy of interventions in policies with the right correlation of development interventions from the Government in accordance with Community participation which correlates with the characteristics of the Village area, namely typology and social capital. To reduce the number of underdeveloped villages and increase the number of independent villages, an important problem that needs to be resolved is poverty. Poverty here has always received more attention from the Indonesian government. This happens because the government has realized the importance of solving the problem of poverty. Failure to resolve this problem will result in the emergence of various social, economic and political problems in society. In the context of village typology, the Developing Village Index classifies villages into five (5) statuses, namely: “(i) Very Underdeveloped Villages; (ii) Disadvantaged Villages; (iii) Developing Villages; (iv) Advanced Village; and (v) Independent Village”. Of the five classifications, now the village statistics already have several divisions that are used as village indicators or parameters. The typology of the distribution of the Development Village Index (IDM) can be divided into several things, such as: “(1) very underdeveloped villages: < 0.491; (2) underdeveloped villages: > 0.491 and < 0.599; (3) developing villages: > 0.599 and < 0.707; (4) developed villages: > 0.707 and < 0.815; and (5) independent villages: > 0.815” (Suroso, 2019). This study uses qualitative analysis with descriptive research methods. The research was conducted to describe the exact nature of the symptoms or signs and then the development of the relationship between the object of research and other social phenomena in the data obtained by means of literature review, through official documents that record the circumstances that occur in an object of research, in the form of magazines, results results of studies, theses, and survey results from various government agencies or not (Novriando & Purnomo, 2020). Case studies in this approach are adopted from Sugiyonos theory (2009) which says that documentation studies are a qualitative method by analyzing documents made by the subject himself or other people. The documentation study itself is a method used by qualitative researchers in obtaining a point of view or description of the object to be studied. Data collection techniques in this study used documentation techniques by collecting data Village Development Study Based on the Developing Village Index in Bati-Bati District, Tanah Laut Regency IJMRA, Volume 06 Issue 09 September 2023 www.ijmra.in Page 4334 using various documents or notes that recorded the state of the research concept in the unit of analysis used as the object of research. Data sources can come from documentation documents from the Village website or the results of previous studies. In terms of data analysis, the author uses narrative analysis to describe a phenomenon and dissect the innovations made by the Village in carrying out IDM-based development. Villages in Bati-Bati District will become the object of research with the research title "Village Development Study Based on IDM (Developing Village Index) in Bati-Bati District, Tanah Laut District". |
| Banjar Womens Strength (Double Role: As Worker and Educator) | Author : Rahmat Sholihin, Amelia Rahmaniah | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Allah swt has universally positioned men as having several advantages compared to women, as Allah swt says in the Al-Quran, Surah An-Nisa, verse 34. Men must provide family support to their wives and children, thus requiring them to actively try and work to meet the households needs. In some religious literature, it is stated that men are the backbone of the family, while women are created from crooked ribs. On the other hand, the persistence of women in their careers and businesses can be seen, especially in several areas in South Kalimantan. This research will focus on three areas, namely Banjarmasin, Martapura and Bati-bati. The Banjar community in that location has its characteristics from the perspective of the female workers. In Banjarmasin, there are women Gojek Online; in Martapura, there are women "Kelelepon" sellers; and in Bati-bati, there are women farmers. This study aims to understand the concept of dual roles for women, namely as workers and educators, explore their motivations in working and understand the attitude of society towards them, among who like and dislike their work and seek comparative solutions to various "gender" issues that develop among the Banjar community. This research is a field research with an anthropological approach. |
| The Safety and Efficacy of Acid Suppression Therapy in Neonatal GERD | Author : Peymaneh Alizadeh Taheri | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common physiologic process in infants that often resolves with growth and maturation, while gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a serious and common referral disease in infants and neonates. The first-line treatment for both GER and GERD is conservative therapy. H2RAs and PPIs are the two basic pharmacologic agents in the treatment of GERD in pediatrics and adults. The efficacy of PPIs is higher than that of H2RAs in GERD treatment. There are controversies in the pharmacologic treatment of neonatal GERD, and performing more clinical trials to survey the effect of PPIs and H2RAs and compare them with each other is necessary in this age group. We conducted three different clinical trials to compare the efficacy and safety of ranitidine with omeprazole or lansoprazole in refractory neonatal GERD. |
| Book Review of "Script on Bamboo and Silk - Ancient Chinese Textual Records" | Author : Associate Professor Feng MAO, Miss Yexuan YU, Miss Shili LIU, Miss Shuangshuang XIE | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In the flow of history, ancient writing mediums are akin to precious relics, carrying the legacy of millennia of wisdom and culture. A book titled "Script on Bamboo and Silk - Ancient Chinese Textual Records," published by Century Library in 2004, serves as a window through time, guiding us on a marvelous journey into the world of ancient Chinese writing mediums. The author of this book, Qian Cunxun, with his profound research and insightful perspectives, presents to us the historical trajectory of ancient writing mediums such as bamboo slips and silk fabric, exploring their significance and influence in the transmission of ancient culture. Ancient Chinese textual records form an extensive ocean, spanning from the earliest oracle bone script to later paper writing. Within this expanse, bamboo slips and silk fabric, as representatives of ancient writing mediums, uniquely radiate the brilliance of civilization. Bamboo slips once bore witness to the clash of ideas during the Warring States period and the competition between Legalist and Confucianist schools of thought. Silk fabric, on the other hand, provided a sturdy foundation for literary and artistic works such as calligraphy, poetry, and more. Today, the book "Script on Bamboo and Silk - Ancient Chinese Textual Records" guides us into the splendid realm of these writing mediums, offering us an opportunity to delve deep into their crafting techniques, preservation methods, and applications across various domains of ancient society. As Qian Cunxun has articulated, bamboo slips and silk fabric played significant roles in various aspects of ancient politics, culture, and economy. Bamboo slips, serving as the primary medium for political records, documented laws, decrees, and more, providing a solid foundation for the continuity of political systems. Meanwhile, silk fabric assumed a distinct role in the realm of culture, serving as a medium for artistic creations like painting and calligraphy. Simultaneously, in the domain of religion, silk fabric was utilized to transmit religious scriptures, becoming a medium for the dissemination of faith, and finding widespread use in the preservation of classics and the recording of religious rituals. Contemporary research and understanding of ancient Chinese culture are akin to an unfathomable universe, and "Script on Bamboo and Silk - Ancient Chinese Textual Records" has opened the gateway to this universe for us. Through in-depth exploration of ancient writing mediums, we can better grasp the diversity and richness of ancient society, comprehending its ideologies, arts, and systems. Qian Cunxuns rigorous research methods and profound analysis in the book enable us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the historical significance and cultural value of ancient writing mediums such as bamboo slips and silk fabric. In this era of information explosion, we are fortunate to delve into the world of ancient writing through this book, to sense the essence of that era, and to better comprehend the origins and inheritance of Chinese culture. |

| Analysis of Old Proof of Rights Holders According to Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021 | Author : Sapto Wahyono, Sumriyah, Linda Uril Khofifah | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In the ownership of land rights for holders of old title evidence, it is regulated in Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021 concerning Management Rights, Land Rights, Flats Units and Land Registration. PP No. 18 of 2021 explains that holders of proof of old rights are required to register evidence to obtain a certificate within a maximum period of 5 (five) years from the enactment of the PP. Seeing the existence of this PP, the government indirectly forced the public to register land in order to avoid overlapping evidence in land issues. Normative legal research uses a conceptual approach through analysis of regulations and theories that aim to explain the legal consequences for holders of evidence of old rights who do not register their evidence within the specified timeframe. The result is that the holder of evidence of old rights is in the form of evidence of former western rights which have been declared invalid and have become state-owned land since the enactment of PP No. 18 of 2021, registration can be done through a statement of physical possession. Meanwhile, evidence of former customary property owned by individuals is required to be registered within a maximum period of 5 (five) years. If registration is not carried out, then the former customary land can be concluded as state property and the evidence owned is invalid and only serves as a guide in the framework of land registration. However, the results have not yet explained in detail whether the holder of the old title still has the right to register the land after not registering it after a specified period of time. |

The pertinent literature was examined. This study used a survey research approach, with 93 participants, including 63 male and 40 female business educators. The researchers used no representative group in this research as all of the participants were sufficient in size to be invested in their entirety. The necessary data were gathered using one study instrument known as the "Challenges of ICT Integration and Teaching of Business Statistics Questionnaire". Three experts—one in measurement and assessment and two in business statistics—validated the questionnaires. Cronbach Alpha statistics were used to test its reliability, and the results showed that the instrument had a reliability index of 0.84 and 0.81, respectively. Mean statistics were utilized to analyze the data collected following the distribution of the questionnaires, and an independent t-test was employed to assess the hypotheses at the.05 level of significance. The studys analysis of the data revealed no statistically significant differences between male and female business educators in their mean ratings of teacher-level and institutional-level impediments to ICT integration in the teaching of business statistics. In light of its discoveries, the investigation recommends the following: Business educators should encourage training on digital tools pertinent to the teaching of business statistics. Educational leaders should promote the incorporation of electronic devices in teaching, by allocating enough funds for the purchase and upkeep of ICTs and other resources that support their use. |

| Effectiveness Analysis of Teamwork Management Based on Machine Intelligence | Author : Ikhsan Gunadi, Bambang Budi Wiyono, Imron Arifin, Ery Tri Djatmika Rudijanto W.W. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Teamwork in an organization often experiences ups and downs in interpersonal relationships due to ineffective communication-interaction problems. Whereas in addition to leadership issues, organizational effectiveness is also largely determined by the interactions within the organization. Poor interaction-communication is the result of interpersonal ignorance of one another. This study tries to analyze the effectiveness of cooperation based on the machine intelligence owned by each personal organization, where methods like this are relatively not widely known. This study uses an approach that is a combination of qualitative and quantitative in a population of school organizations that consist of one principal and seven teachers. From this study, it was found that (1) relatively small relationship scores exist in four people including the principal as the leader of the organization, and (2) organizational personnel can play the appropriate roles of the five roles based on their machine intelligence. This study concludes that the analyzed school organization has a lot of interaction-communication conflicts, so a personal understanding of each other is needed based on their respective intelligence machines. By understanding machine intelligence, each member of the organization will be able to treat others appropriately both in interaction and communication so that the organization runs effectively. |
| The Effect of Bitter Melon Extract (Momordica Charantia) On CASPASE-9 and Bcl-2 Proteins Expression | Author : Desti Rahmasari, Titiek Sumarawati, Setyo Trisnadi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Breast cancer has a significant morbidity and death rate worldwide, thus various therapeutic strategies, including the phytopharmaca approach, must be researched further. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) extract is predicted to have anticancer properties due to its influence on Caspase-9 and BcL2 proteins, which will be shown in this in vitro investigation utilizing MCF-7 cell culture. This study was an in vitro laboratory experimental study with a post-test-only control group design. The doses of Momordica charantia extract used were 125 µg/ml, 500 µg/ml, and 1,000 µg/ml. Caspase-9 and BcL2 protein expression in MCF-7cell culture was measured by immunocytochemistry method, Shapiro Wilk, Levene Test, One Way Anova, and Post Hoc LSD. Administration of Momordica charantia extract at a dose of 500 µg/ml and 1,000 µg/ml significantly increased the average expression of Caspase-9 protein (p = 0.044 and p = 0.004 respectively), but not at a dose of 125 µg/mL (p = 0.125). Administration of bitter melon extract at doses of 125 µg/ml, 500 µg/ml, and 1,000 µg/ml significantly reduced the average BcL2 protein expression (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.001 respectively). Momordica charantia extract has the potential to be employed as an anti-breast cancer agent due to its ability to increase the average expression of Caspase-9 protein while reducing the average expression of BcL2 protein. |

| Sustainability Assessment of Economic and Environmental Impacts: A Critical Systems Thinking Approach to Tackle Complex Environmental Challenges | Author : Mosammat Mustari Khanaum, Most. Shahanaj Hossain | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Complex and interconnected vicious cycles of problems such as climate change, epidemics, poverty, and pollution create wicked environmental challenges. These transcend both conceptual and spatial boundaries, presenting a formidable challenge to contemporary society. Recognizing the diverse perspectives held by different quality individuals, this paper explores the necessity of involving key stakeholders in decision-making processes to effectively address these challenges. However, the exclusion of stakeholders from power-sharing mechanisms within existing social systems is a significant impediment. To address these multifaceted issues, an additional focus on emancipatory commitment and methodologies is required. One approach that holds promise in this regard is Ulrichs critical systems heuristics, a critical systems methodology that provides practical tools for achieving the goal. Through a comprehensive case analysis of a gas blow-out tragedy, this paper explores the application of critical systems heuristics and underscores the importance of extending its use beyond planning situations to encompass a critical evaluation of existing institutions. Introducing the contextual background of the mishap, it explores the extensive social, economic, political, and environmental consequences resulting from the incident. It highlights the fundamental cause of the wicked problem and employs the critical systems approach as a prospective tool to augment accountability and involve stakeholders in overcoming such wicked socio-environmental challenges. |

| The Relationship between Participant Self-Evaluation, Coach Competence, Participant Tasks Achievement and Participant Potential after Underwriting Boccia Training Program | Author : Saddan Pramana Putra, Rony Syaifullah, Islahuzzaman Nuryadin, Slamet Riyadi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The purpose of this study was to determine the Relationship Between Participant Self-Evaluation, Coach Competence, Participant Tasks Achievement and Participant Potential After Underwriting Boccia Training Program. The type of research used in this research is quantitative descriptive research. The quantitative descriptive method is a quantitative research in which the form of description is numerical (statistical). This means that the research is related to the description with statistical numbers. This study used the SOAP-M model to analyze the evaluation of the Boccia training program. In the meta-analysis, researchers examined the relationship between self-evaluation, trainer competence, and achievement with the potential of participants after undergoing the Boccia training program. The results of the meta-analysis showed that self-evaluation, others (trainer competence), and achievement (achievement of participants tasks in training) simultaneously affect the potential accuracy skills of throw boccia with a positive regression coefficient value. This means that self-evaluation, others (trainer competence), and achievement (achievement of participants tasks in training) together have a positive impact on the potential of throw boccia accuracy skills in the boccia training program. This also shows that if self-evaluation, others (trainer competence), and achievement (achievement of participants tasks in training) increase, then there is an increase in the potential of throw boccia accuracy skills and vice versa if it decreases then there is a decrease in the potential of throw boccia accuracy skills in the boccia training program. The results of the coefficient of determination test show that 93.5% of the potential of throw boccia accuracy skills can be explained by variations in self-evaluation, others (trainer competence), and achievement. The remaining 6.5% was explained by other causes outside the study variables. Of the 93.5%, 33.6% of the variation of potential participants is determined by self-evaluation, 32.0% of the variation of potential participants is determined by others (trainer competence), and 27.9% of potential participant variation is determined by achievement. Thus, self-evaluation has a more dominant influence on potential participants than other variables (trainer competence) and achievement. |

| The Influence of the Level of Guarantee of Operating Expenses on the Application of Accounting Software in Public Non- Business Unit | Author : MA. Le Thi Huong Tram, Student. Vu Thi Hong, Student. Phan Thu Giang | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Public non-business units are established by the state to perform public services and distribute those services to society. Through the document research method, the article has generalized the role, function, and accounting form of public non-business units and the importance of accounting. With this method, we can also evaluate the limitations in accounting and the reasons why many public non-business units do not see the need to apply accounting software in accounting. Three reasons were pointed out: unit leaders did not pay attention to accounting work, lack of funding for implementation and incorrectly identified the reasons for errors in accounting planning. The investigation method also helped us identify how accounting software applications are affected by the level of Guarantee of operating expenses. Analysis results have shown that financially autonomous units have a higher tendency to apply accounting software than units without financial revenue. The research team also proposed a number of solutions such as increasing the understanding and awareness of business unit leaders about the importance of accounting work and accounting software. Implement budget estimates for information technology construction at the unit, properly assessing the key points of existence. |

| Effect of Feature Selection on the Accuracy of Machine Learning Model | Author : Asst. Professor Mohammad Salim Hamdard, Asst. Professor Hedayatullah Lodin | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In real life data science problems, its almost rare that all the features in the dataset are useful for building a model. In machine learning, feature selection is the process of selecting a subset of relevant features or attributes for constructing a model. Removing irrelevant and redundant features and, selecting relevant features will improve the accuracy of a machine learning model. Furthermore, adding unnecessary variables to a model increases the overall complexity of the model. Our experiment indicates that the accuracy of a classification model is highly affected by the process of feature selection. We train three algorithms (K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Tree, Multi-layer Perceptron) by selecting all the features and we got accuracies 49%, 84% and 71% accordingly. After doing some feature selection without any logical changes in models code the accuracy scores jumped to 82%, 86% and 78% accordingly which is quite impressive. |
| The Influence of the Three-Component Commitment Model on the Intention to Leave of Employees Working in Insurance Enterprises | Author : Nguyen Thi Huu Ai, Nguyen Thi Thia, Le Thu Trang | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Using appropriate research methods and adhering to the research objectives helped us complete the article and clarify the necessary content. The document research method helped us build a theoretical basis for the article. The content of the theoretical basis presented in the article includes Organizational Commitment and the three-component commitment model (affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment) which is the basis and foundation for the analysis and proposed solutions. Using the random sampling method to ensure objectivity, 240 valid surveys were used to analyze and evaluate the commitment of employees working at Vietnamese insurance enterprises. Data analysis results show that the commitment factor is rated at a low average level. The surveyed employees stated that their commitment to their organization is not high, which means that the possibility of leaving the job is very high. To increase attachment and commitment to the business, we have proposed a number of solutions such as building corporate culture, developing serious recruitment regulations and always having supportive interactions between employees in the work environment. |

| Measuring Sustainable Development: A Weighting Approach to Sustainable Development Indicators | Author : Leonidas Mindrinos, Panagiotis Panagiotopoulos | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The concept of sustainable development, in recent years if not decades, has been introduced into all individual forms of development regardless of sector or economy. It has been realized internationally that when development does not become sustainable it will soon cease to exist. In previous years, there have been attempts to measure development and sustainability mainly by the United Nations but also by many scholars. This process resulted in the construction of 50 main and 46 secondary indicators for sustainable development in 2007, which differ from the indicators that determine the percentage of achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as set in 2015. In previous works (Panagiotopoulos et al. 2022) an attempt was made to categorize the 96 Sustainable Development indicators of the U.N. according to Maslows pyramid of needs and Bossels indicator categories. With this combination, the pyramid of sustainable development was formed, in which the individual indicators are distributed. The purpose of this categorization was to investigate the contribution of certain economic aspects of human life to sustainable development based on the individual indicators as well as its extent within the categories of the pyramid. Schematically, the pyramid assists in visualizing the contribution to sustainable development of the subject being examined. From the above correlation and the corresponding categorization, an attempt is made to give weight to each indicator with the ultimate goal of creating a matrix of performance of specific scores for the objects under consideration, always in relation to sustainable development. It is reported that the specific way of scoring differs from the way of measuring states sustainable development according to the United Nations (U.N. 2022). |
| Strengthening the Resilience of Tourism Actors from the Supply Side Towards Balis Economic Transformation | Author : Putu Krisna Adwitya Sanjaya, Made Kembar Sri Budhi, Ida Bagus Putu Purbadharmaja, I Nyoman Mahaendra Yasa | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The tourism of Bali was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The cessation of tourism activities has an impact on weakening the competence of trained tourism human resources, which has led to a decrease in competitiveness. As a result, it is difficult for Balis tourism industry to restart its activities immediately. The situation is not only detrimental to the tourism industry in Bali, but also has a negative impact on the resilience of Indonesian tourism as a whole. The main goal of Balis economic recovery program is to prepare its economy so that its growth can accelerate at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic and return to its pre-pandemic level by 2024. The recovery of the tourism sector also means the recovery of Balis economy. Although not yet optimal, tourism actors at the moment must prepare themselves to capture the momentum of tourism opening and global tourism trends, including new normal conditions, so that Bali can compete with other tourism destinations in the world. Therefore, a strategy is needed to improve the resilience of tourism actors from the supply side towards the transformation of Balis economy which is targeted to create higher economic growth in the long term at 7.7 percent by 2045. |
| The Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Malondialdehyde and Superoxide Dismutase Levels (Experimental Studies in Dyslipidemic Rat Models) | Author : Ahmad Yassir,Siti Thomas Zulaikhah, Minidian Fasitasari | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Dyslipidemia is a lipid profile abnormality characterized by the increase of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), and a decrease of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Dyslipidemia causes oxidative stress which can be shown by increasing levels of malondialdehyde MDA and decreased levels of antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD). This study aims to determine the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on MDA and SOD levels in dyslipidemic rat models. This study is experimental research with a post-test-only control group design. The research subject was 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups, namely K0 (control), K1, K2, and K3. Dyslipidemia was induced by giving quail egg yolk 4ml/kg BW/day for 14 days and then followed by giving an omega-3 fatty acids dose of 36 mg/kg BW/day to the K2 group and dose of 72mg/kg BW/day to the K3 group for 14 days. The MDA statistical analysis used the One Way Anova and Post-hoc test and the SOD data analysis used the One-Way Anova and Tamnhane test. The MDA rate was higher in K2 compared to K1, and K3 with a value of p>0.05. SOD levels in K2 increased compared to K1 and K3 with a p>0.05. The administration of omega-3 fatty acids at doses of 36 mg/kg BW/day and 72 mg/kg BW/day for 14 days did not affect reducing MDA levels in dyslipidemic rats but the administration of omega-3 fatty acids at a dose of 36 mg/kg BW/day for 14 days increased SOD levels insignificantly. |

| The Effect of Hypoxic Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome on TNF-? and MCP-1 Gene Expression | Author : Ihdina Hanifa Hasanal Ibrahim,Agung Putra,Titiek Sumarawati | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is a metabolic disorder with the occurrence of insulin receptor resistance and reduced ability of pancreatic ß-cells to secrete insulin, there will be an increase in adipose tissue which causes hypertrophy and hyperplasia. This situation triggers inflammation involving the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as TNF-a (Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha) and MCP-1 (Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1). Cell-based therapies such as the administration of hypoxic mesenchymal stem cell secretom offer a new paradigm in the management of T2DM. This study aims to determine the effect of hypoxic mesenchymal stem cell (SSPM) administration on TNF-a and MCP-1 gene expression in STZ-induced obese DM rats. This research is experimental with a post-test-only control group design approach. The subjects of the study were 20 male Wistar rats which were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group K1 was given standard feed and distilled water. Group K2 subjects with obesity mellitus type 2 with 0.9% NaCl. Groups K3 and K4, subjects with type 2 obesity mellitus, were treated with secretom doses of 250 µl and 500 µl. The study was conducted at the Sultan Agung Stem Cell Research Institute Laboratory for 21 days by taking blood for examination of TNF-a and MCP-1 gene expression using the PCR method. The result showed that the lowest average TNF expression was in the K4 group (3.19 pg/ml) and the lowest mean MCP-1 expression was in the K4 group (1.57 %). One-way ANOVA test showed a significant difference in TNF- expression with a value of p=0.006 and MCP1 expression showed a significant difference p=0.000 (p<0.05). The Administration of hypoxic mesenchymal stem cell (SSPM) secretom significantly reduced TNF-a and MCP-1 gene expression in STZ-induced obese DM rats. |
