The Robotic MAAO 0.7 m Telescope System: Performance and Standard Photometric System

We introduce a 0.7 m telescope system at the Miryang Arirang Astronomical Observatory (MAAO), a public observatory in Miryang, Korea. System integration and a scheduling program enable the 0.7 m telescope system to operate completely robotically during nighttime, eliminating the need for human intervention. Using the 0.7 m telescope system, we obtain atmospheric extinction coefficients and the zero-point magnitudes by observing standard stars. As a result, we find that atmospheric extinctions are moderate but they can sometimes increase depending on the weather conditions. The measured 5σ limiting magnitudes reach down to BVRI = 19.4–19.6 AB mag for a point source with a total integrated time of 10 minutes under clear weather conditions, demonstrating comparable performance with other observational facilities operating under similar specifications and sky conditions. We expect that the newly established MAAO 0.7 m telescope system will contribute significantly to the observational studies of astronomy. Particularly, with its capability for robotic observations, this system, although its primary duty is for public viewing, can be extensively used for the time-series observation of transients.

THE INFLUENCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND JOB SATISFACTION ON ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR (OCB) IN EMPLOYEES OF CV SUMBER CAHAYA MOTOR PALEMBANG

Abstract: strong features of CV Sumber Cahaya Motor's corporate culture can be seen in the behavioral dimensions of courtesy and altruism, where employees are very conscious of the importance of fostering strong connections and supporting one another. Nonetheless, there are shortcomings in the areas of conscientiousness and sportsmanship, as workers frequently show a lack of initiative when working beyond their assigned duties and a lack of enthusiasm when confronted with directives or extra work that is not related to their primary duties. Obviously, this contributes to workers' dissatisfaction with their jobs. This study aimed to characterize organizational culture, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in part-time and full-time CV Sumber Cahaya Motor Palembang personnel. Saturated sampling methodology was employed in this investigation, with a total of 40 employees as the sample. This study employed a quantitative methodology. This study used a descriptive and verification analytical methodology. The study's findings suggest that work satisfaction and company culture have a big impact on how employees behave in terms of organizational citizenship. With a combined 52.8% contribution to OCB, both variables have a significant impact. To support the rise in employee OCB, management must continue to fortify organizational culture and raise job satisfaction.

When Social Workers Are Given Dual Mandates: Child Maintenance and the Complexities of Family Situations in the Ghanaian Child Protection System

Abstract Custodial parents, often single mothers, face challenges regarding child maintenance, including a lack of financial commitments from non-custodial parents for their children’s welfare. The evidence suggests that there is a strong link between child maintenance and poverty as well as other family violence issues. In addition to their primary child and family protection duties, child protection practitioners in Ghana have a mandate to assess child maintenance concerns. This dual responsibility may have the advantage of promoting holistic child and family practices, but it could also negatively impact families when practitioners overly focus on one responsibility at the expense of the other. We sought to understand and show whether families who reported child maintenance concerns to the Department of Social Welfare and Community Development in Ghana experienced challenges beyond child maintenance and whether practitioners identified these primary protection concerns in their assessments. Findings from qualitative in-depth interviews with seventeen parents show that these families experienced domestic violence, marital conflict and child abuse and neglect beyond the scope of a standard child maintenance case. The findings highlight the importance of child protection workers conducting comprehensive family assessments to resolve ‘hidden’ family difficulties when establishing child maintenance arrangements.

Analysis of human resources needs in the outpatient registration unit using the Analisis Beban Kerja Kesehatan (ABK Kes) method

Excessive workloads for medical record staff can lead to both physical and mental fatigue, while insufficient workloads may result in boredom. The outpatient registration unit at the hospital faces challenges in the registration process due to a high volume of patient registrations, leading to long queues. This study aimed to analyze the human resource needs of the medical record staff in the outpatient registration unit using the Analisis Beban Kerja Kesehatan (ABK Kes) method. The ABK Kes method involves calculating labor needs based on the workload associated with each type of task performed by staff at health service facilities, aligning with their primary duties and functions. The chosen method for this study was qualitative descriptive. Data collection was conducted through observation and interviews involving five subjects, all of whom were medical record staff in the outpatient unit. The results indicate that, based on the calculations, the human resource needs in the patient registration unit should include seven people, requiring an additional two staff members. The waiting time during registration significantly influences patients' perceptions of hospital service assessments. The addition of two staff members, in accordance with the calculated needs, is expected to enhance the productivity of the registration officers.

Institutional Restructuring of Shibori Sidomaju Elderly Community for Sustainable Business Support

The Shibori Sidomaju elderly group is a community that actively produces and sells shibori cloth. As the Shibori Batik business develops, there are many conflicts of interest between members. The management chairman committed fraud by taking over all the assets owned by the community, so the village government took over the management. This community service aims to transfer knowledge regarding institutional strengthening through management reorganization by establishing articles of association, by-laws, and organizational structure. The approach to community service activities used is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in counseling, mentoring, and training. The target community is the administrators and members of the Batik Shibori Elderly group in Kenteng Village. The activities were carried out from July to August 2023. The results show that Shibori managers understand the importance of institutional legality and the Shibori organizational structure. The output of the activity was the article by law, which was agreed upon and approved by all Shibori members. On this occasion, an organizational structure was also agreed upon that reflects the primary duties of the management, members, and village government. The division of leading tasks and functions can increase the sense of responsibility, commitment, and loyalty. Awareness and understanding of leading tasks and functions are the keys to developing the Shibori business.

The problem of language by Wittgenstein

Wittgenstein believed that language is the central question of philosophy, and that philosophical problems arise from misunderstandings of logic and linguistic grammar. As a result, he believed that the primary duty of philosophy is to critique and study language. In his Tractatus and later works, Wittgenstein established the grounds and conditions for any linguistic expression to be considered meaningful. According to Wittgenstein, the only meaningful language is that which contains an image of the external world.

The Strategic Role of the TNI in Preventing the Development of Radicalism in Indonesia in the Perspective of Law 34 of 2004

In the Law of the Republic of Indonesia number 3 of 2002 concerning national defense, it is said that national defense is prepared early to face existing threats. The purpose of state defense is to maintain and protect state sovereignty, maintain the territorial integrity of the Republic of Indonesia, and maintain the safety of the entire nation from all forms of threats both from outside and from within the country. The threats in question are divided into 3: military, non-military, and hybrid. Meanwhile, according to the priority scale, threats are divided into 2: actual threats and potential threats. One of the actual threats that occur in Indonesia can be seen from the problems of terrorism and radicalism that still often occur in various regions and communities in Indonesia. In the Law of the Republic of Indonesia number 34 of 2004, it is stated that the TNI in carrying out its primary duties is carried out through war military operations and military operations other than war, where in more detail in article 7 paragraph (2) point (b) states that one of the military operations other than war (OMSP) is to overcome acts of terrorism, which according to the Center for Studies The TNI strategy in its study on the role of the TNI in preventing the development of radicalism, terrorism is deeply rooted in radicalism.

Mengupas Kebutuhan Penyuluh Pajak Daerah: Eksplorasi Di Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta

Local tax revenues in DKI Jakarta Province have not reached their optimal achievement. One of the causes is the low compliance of local taxpayers due to a lack of tax knowledge. Tax administration can improve voluntary tax compliance by providing services and good communication with taxpayers. This role can be carried out through a tax counseling program. This study aims to provide urgency for the functional position of local tax counselors in supporting the resilience of local tax revenues. The research used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and literature studies. The study results show that local tax counseling in DKI Jakarta faces obstacles due to a lack of human resources and budget. The absence of a position for tax counselors, currently only limited to task force units, limits the legitimacy of tax counselor authority in carrying out their primary duties and functions. The status of the task force unit has resulted in tax counselors being unable to focus on handling tax counseling in DKI Jakarta because they still have to carry out other administrative duties. Meanwhile, tax counselor officers have a heavy task because they have to master all regulations related to local taxes and the dynamics of its changes and should be able to solve various problems faced by Local Taxpayers. Transferring the tax counselor from the task force unit to a functional position will increase the local tax counselor officers' competence, motivation, and skills to support optimal provincial tax revenues.

Examining the Effects of Social Media on Mental Health Among Adolescents in Saudi Arabia.

Adolescents are immersed in a highly advanced technology setting, characterized by extensive availability of personal devices, the internet, and other social media platforms, which greatly impact their mental development. Concerns arise around potential negative consequences, including social isolation, internet addiction, exposure to improper content, depression, cyberbullying, and sleeping difficulty. The impact of social media on the mental well-being of adolescents has emerged as an escalating concern. The continuous exposure to carefully selected content, online harassment, and the expectation to comply with unrealistic standards all contribute to the development of depression and anxiety.This research aims to explore the impact of social media on the mental health of adolescents in the Saudi Arabian context. This online cross-sectional study was conducted on Saudis aged 10 to 24 years old who have social media accounts in Saudi Arabia between August and November 2023. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors that make the study participants more likely to be mentally affected by social media. A total of 2856 participants were involved in this study. The most commonly used social media platformby the study participants was Twitter (30.3%). The majority of the study participants (77.4%) reported that they have tried to reduce their social media usage for mental health reasons. The most commonly agreed-upon statements were that "they feel that excessive social media use has negatively affected their sleep patterns,""they often sleep late in the night because of social media usage,"and "they check their social media account before they sleep in the night," accounting for 71.0%, 66.1%, and 58.3%, respectively. Overall, the study participants showed a low level of being mentally affected due to social media with a mean score of 7.8 (SD: 3.9) out of 21, which is equal to 37.1%. Older participants (aged 16-24 years) were more prone to be mentally affected due to social media compared to younger ones (aged 10-15 years; p < 0.05). On the other hand, participants who were married, had a middle school education level, or lived in the northern, western, or eastern regions were less likely to be mentally affected due to social media compared to others (p < 0.05). The study participants showed a low level of being mentally affected due to social media. Individuals in the 16-24 years age group show a higher susceptibility to mental impacts resulting from social media usage. The primary duty for reducing the potential negative effects of social media should not rest only on parents and caregivers. Advocating for the creation of technology-free zones and fostering in-person friendships among teens could be a beneficial approach that policymakers should support.

WORKING WIVES, RESOLVING DYSFUNCTIONAL HOUSEHOLD HARMONY: A STUDY ON STRUCTURAL-FUNCTIONAL THEORY AND ISLAMIC LAW PERSPECTIVE

Wives are often the economic contributors of families, especially those with low income. They are additional income earners for the family. This phenomenon also occurs in Temanggung Regency. They work in various sectors, from the domestic to the public sector, because most men in Temanggung work as farmers and laborers, so their income does not fulfill the family's economic needs. This article examines the phenomenon of working wives in Temanggung Regency from the perspective of Islamic law and Talcott Parson's structural-functionalism theory. In the Qur'an, the husband's responsibility is to complete the family's needs according to his portion of the duties because men have physical advantages over women. Islamic law allows wives to work in Temanggung if they do not neglect their primary duties as homemakers. However, Islam is not permitted if it will cause disharmony in the family. From Parson's perspective, it has been classified that the wife's job is to work at home, and the husband's job is to work outside, so there is no competition in the household. Regardless, working wives in Temanggung help husbands fulfill family needs to overcome dysfunctional household harmony

Shariah governance framework for Islamic banking in Pakistan: a critical review and comparison with AAOIFI

Purpose The study aims to critically review the Shariah governance framework for Islamic banking prevailing in Pakistan and provide a comparison with Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). Design/methodology/approach It analyzes 16 circulars issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) since 2002, including three Shariah governance frameworks in 2014, 2015 and 2018. Additionally, the study compares the SBP and AAOIFI Shariah governance standards to evaluate the soundness of the SBP framework against international benchmarks. Findings Pakistan’s Shariah governance model is centralized, with the SBP’s Shariah board having ultimate authority. The SBP has provided a comprehensive Shariah framework, which includes among others, the criteria for the qualifications and conflict of interests of Shariah members. Both AAOIFI and SBP Shariah governance frameworks have similarities and differences in terms of the tenure of Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB) members, reporting line of SSB, number of SSB meetings, minimum experience of SSB members, primary duties of Shariah board, code of ethics and conduct for SSB and management and requirement of publication of SSB report in the annual report of Islamic banks. The frameworks differ in terms of the delegation of SSB powers, assessment and appraisal of SSB effectiveness and outsourcing of Shariah Compliance Department and Internal Shariah Audit Unit. Practical implications The study recommends expanding the qualification criteria for Shariah advisors to include additional degrees and qualifications, upholding stringent criteria for conflict of interests and promoting stakeholder consultation through exposure drafts. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first of its kind which critically review and compare the Shariah governance framework prevailing in Pakistan.

Analysis of Lecturer Performance In Increasing Productivity of Indonesian Polytechnic Venezuela In Aceh Besar

Higher education is one of the subsystems of national education. The presence of higher education plays a crucial role in the life of the nation and the state. The quality of higher education depends on the quality of lecturers, especially in terms of their professional competence, which will contribute to the improvement of the quality of higher education and ultimately have an impact on the progress of national education. Lecturers have primary duties and obligations outlined in the "tridharma" of higher education, and these duties must be reported to the institution and higher education service institutions each semester, resulting in periodic work performance outcomes often referred to as the lecturer's workload. Lecturer's Workload is a performance report that includes components related to educational delivery, research, community service, and supporting activities within a specified time frame. This research aims to analyze the performance of lecturers in improving the productivity of the Polytechnic of Indonesia Venezuela. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques involve observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is qualitative descriptive analysis with data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate that the performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in terms of career development or promotions have not improved the productivity of Poliven. This is because, on average, Poliven lecturers are not consistent in proposing functional positions or promotions in accordance with the established schedule. The performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in the field of the three pillars of higher education, particularly in education and teaching, meet the workload targets well, thus enhancing Poliven's productivity. However, the performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in the field of research and community service have seen only a slight improvement and meet the workload targets. This is because there have been no research or community service results that have obtained intellectual property rights (HAKI) or patents.

Why Are There So Few FDA-Approved Therapeutics for Wound Healing?

Since the only and the milestone FDA approval of becaplermin gel (RegranexTM, 0.01% human recombinant PDGF-BB) as a (diabetic) wound healing therapeutic more than 25 years ago, no new therapeutic (excluding physical therapies, devices, dressings, anti-microbial agents, or other preventive treatments) for any type of wound healing has advanced to clinical applications. During the same period of time, the FDA has approved additional 250 new drugs for various human tumors, which were famously described as "wounds that do not heal". Two similar pathological conditions have experienced such a dramatic difference in therapeutics. More surprisingly, few in the wound healing community seem to be alarmed by this mysterious deficit. As it is often said, "damaging is far easier than re-building". In contrast to the primary duty of a cancer drug to damage a single molecule of the signaling network, a wound healing drug must be able to re-build the multi-level damages in the wound. No known single molecule alone is capable of repairing multi-cell-type and multi-pathway damages all at once. We argue that the previous single molecule-based strategy for developing wound healing therapeutics is profoundly flawed in theory. The future success of effective wound healing therapeutics requires a fundamental change in the paradigm.
