Financial Performance of Banking in Indonesia: A Comparison Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic

This research aims to examine the financial performance of the banking sector in Indonesia both before and during the pandemic. In the course of this investigation, financial performance was evaluated using several factors namely Loan to deposit ratio (LDR), non-performing loan (NPL), return on assets (ROA), as well as operating expenses and operating income (BOPO). Furthermore, the data used comprised information on the banking financial conditions before (2018-2019) and during the pandemic-affected periods (2020-2021). Purposive sampling was used for sample selection and the analytical methodology adopted comprised the Wilcoxon signed rank test and paired samples t-test analysis. It is also crucial to establish that the present research utilized statistical computations conducted via the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) application, with a significance level of 5%. The obtained results showed that no significant difference was identified between LDR and BOPO both before and during the pandemic. However, a substantial difference was identified between NPL and ROA over the two examined periods.

ONLINE LEARNING FOR STUDENTS: IMPACT AND PERCEPTION

The aim of this research is to examine how online learning affects students' academic achievement. Online learning is expanding quickly at all levels of official education, including the university level. This study at one of Bandung, Indonesia's private university seeks to ascertain the impact of online learning on students' perceptions and academic achievement. All current participants in the Accounting Study Program make up the study's population. The class of 2018-2022 members of Accounting Study Program who are currently enrolled in or have completed the Auditing course make up the sample for this study. Purposive sampling is the sample selection technique employed, while the research approach used is explanatory research. Using the T and F tests, multiple regression analysis, and SPSS, the study hypothesis is tested. According to the sample technique, questionnaires were given out to 113 students. Additionally, interviews were conducted to find out what students thought of online learning, both positively and negatively. The study's findings indicated that online learning has an impact on academic achievement. Although most students have positive perceptions of online learning, there are some negative ones as well. However, the university can address these negative perceptions by correcting the relevant errors.

Effectiveness of Finger Hand Relaxation and Progressive Muscle Relaxation Techniques on Anxiety in Pre-Operative Sectio Caesarea Patients

Background: Anxiety is a common thing that occurs in patients who will undergo surgery. The anxiety that occurs in preoperative patients can be felt from the time they are scheduled for surgery until the time of surgery arrives. Anxiety management can be done using pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. Purpose: The aim of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of finger grip relaxation techniques and progressive muscle relaxation on anxiety in pre-caesarean section surgery patients in the Kediri Regency Regional General Hospital. Method: This study used a Quasy-experiment With Pretest Posttest to determine the effect of finger grip and progressive muscle relaxation techniques. The sample selection in this study used a purposive sampling technique and a total of 56 patients were obtained who were divided into 2 groups, namely the finger grip intervention group and the progressive muscle intervention group. The pretest and posttest data for each group were then analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test to determine the effect and the Mann-Whitney Test to compare the posttest results of the 2 groups. Results: The results of the study showed that the Wilcoxon test in both intervention groups obtained a p-value < α (0.05), which means that before and after the intervention, both progressive muscle relaxation and finger grip relaxation had an influence on the anxiety level of pre-caesarean section patients. For the results of the Mann-Whitney test, the p-value was 0.063 or p-value > α (0.05), which means there was no significant difference between changes in anxiety whether those given progressive muscle relaxation intervention or finger grip relaxation. Conclusion: Finger grip relaxation techniques and progressive muscle relaxation techniques are both effective in reducing anxiety levels in pre-caesarean section surgery patients. So this non- pharmacological therapy can be an option for patients in dealing with anxiety problems before caesarean section surgery.

Education and women in high-skill occupations in India

Purpose This paper aims to examine women’s likelihood of being employed in a high-skill occupation compared to men in India. It also analyses the impact of education on women’s likelihood of entering a high-skill occupation. Design/methodology/approach This study uses data from Periodic Labour Force Survey 2018–19. National Classification of Occupations 2004 is used to classify the occupations in three categories, i.e. high-skill, medium-skill and low-skill. The paper uses ordered probit with Heckman’s sample selection method to estimate the impact of gender identity and education on women’s likelihood of entering high-skill occupations. Findings The results show that female workers are more likely to be employed in high-skill occupations than male workers. Formal years of schooling and technical education further improve women’s probability of working in high-skill occupations compared to men. However, an increase in monthly per capita expenditure of the households improves men’s chances of being employed in high-skill occupations in comparison to women. It suggests that gender norms are still relevant. Originality/value Studies have found occupational segregation in India with a large share of women being employed in low-wage work. This study examines the issue by focusing on the skill level of occupations. It found that women have a higher likelihood of entering high-skill occupations in India and education is playing an important role in it.

Cultural Considerations in Intelligence Test Adaptations: a Critical Review of the WAIS-IV India and Its U.K. and U.S. Counterparts.

This study critically examined the adaptation and normative processes of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV)India. WAIS-IV U.K. Edition Administration and Scoring Manual, WAIS-IVIndia Administration and Scoring Manual, and WAIS-IV Administration and Scoring Manual and Technical and Interpretive Manuals were used to extract test development and adaptation process data. The analyses were descriptive and qualitative. A review of the manuals showed that the normative sample were fluent English speakers with high education levels, which is not representative of India's multilingual and educational diversity. The study identified minimal cultural and linguistic adaptations in subtests, which raised concern about potential biases in the test adaptation process across cultures. The lack of clarity in item selection, demographic data, sample selection, and psychometric properties raised questions about the test's reliability and validity. Issues related to education, age, gender, and regional distribution are discussed, emphasizing the test's limitations in capturing the diverse characteristics of the heterogeneous Indian population. WAIS-IV India may not adequately represent India's population. More careful consideration of socioecological and psychometric factors when adapting intelligence (IQ) tests and use of advanced data harmonization methods can provide robust cross-national statistical harmonization in the future along with more ecologically valid local test development efforts. This can allow consideration of social determinants of health and other factors that can inform a more nuanced approach to IQ test development in non-western contexts.

Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Child Development in South America: A Systematic Review

Abstract Background Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have garnered attention globally for their detrimental effects on children’s development, such as lower communication, gross and fine motor, and personal-social domains. While extensively studied in high-income countries, there remains a gap in understanding their prevalence and impact in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This review aimed to identify, evaluate, and summarize the findings of an association between ACEs and children’s developmental and mental health outcomes in South America Methods A systematic review was conducted to investigate the association between ACEs and childhood development in South America. Databases MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts, Literatura Latino Americana em Ciências da Saúde, IBECS and CINAHL were searched. Selection criteria encompassed studies from Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Guyana and Suriname examining the effects of ACEs on developmental outcomes and mental health disorders in children under 18 years old. Quality assessment aligned with World Health Organization standards was employed. Results Twenty-four studies met the inclusion criteria, with most categorized as low or very low quality. While the majority demonstrated a significant association between ACEs and developmental or mental health outcomes, a few studies reported null findings. Challenges in study quality, such as small sample sizes and selection bias, were identified. Conclusions Despite limitations in study quality, findings underscore the impact of ACEs on child development and mental health in South America. Because of the low quality of the existent studies the next steps should be to grasp a greater understanding of the issue. This review also highlights the urgency for further research and targeted interventions to mitigate the long-term consequences of ACEs in this region. Key messages • ACEs profoundly affect child development and mental health in South America, necessitating urgent attention and intervention. • Addressing the impact of ACEs in South America is critical for fostering healthier developmental trajectories and enhancing public health outcomes.

Challenges in using data on fathers/partners to study prenatal exposures and offspring health.

Paternal exposures (and other non-maternal factors) around pregnancy could have important effects on offspring health. One challenge is that data on partners are usually from a subgroup of mothers with data, potentially introducing selection bias, limiting generalisability of findings. We aimed to investigate the potential for selection bias in studies using partner data.We characterise availability of data on father/partner and mother health behaviours (smoking, alcohol, caffeine and physical activity) around pregnancy from three UK cohort studies: the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), Born in Bradford and the Millennium Cohort Study. We assess the extent of sample selection by comparing characteristics of families where fathers/partners do and do not participate. Using the association of parental smoking during pregnancy and child birthweight as an example, we perform simulations to investigate the extent to which missing father/partner data may induce bias in analyses conducted only in families with participating fathers/partners.In all cohorts, father/partner data were less detailed and collected at fewer timepoints than mothers. Partners with a lower socio-economic position were less likely to participate. In simulations based on ALSPAC data, there was little evidence of selection bias in associations of maternal smoking with birthweight, and bias for father/partner smoking was relatively small. Missing partner data can induce selection bias. In our example analyses of the effect of parental smoking on offspring birthweight, the bias had a relatively small impact. In practice, the impact of selection bias will depend on both the analysis model and the selection mechanism.

The Effect of Multidisciplinary Care on Polypharmacy in Advanced Cancer Patients near the End of Life

Abstract Objectives Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) aims to integrate cancer patient care plans and provide holistic care to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding the effect of MDT on polypharmacy in advanced cancer patients near the end of life, which warrants further investigation. Methods This retrospective cohort study utilizes the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), Taiwan Cancer Registry, and Cause of Death Statistics, provided by the Health and Welfare Data Science Center (HWDC), Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW). The study subjects were patients who were diagnosed with stage III or IV cancer, aged 65 or above, experienced recurrence or metastasis, and who died between 2014 and 2020. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed, followed by analysis using the Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) to examine the differences in the risk of polypharmacy in the last 30 days before death. In addition, to confirm the robustness of the results, we conducted two different sensitivity tests: the first way is to use different ages as sample selection criteria and only include people who died over 75 years old as study subjects; the second way is to use conditional logistic regression models as a multivariate statistical method. Results There were 35537 samples before matching, including 4942 who received MDT care and 30595 who did not. After 1:1 matching, 9884 patients were finally included in the analysis. The prevalence of polypharmacy significantly decreased during the study period from 59.90% to 58.80% (p = 0.03; trend test). When examined through different PIM criteria, patients who received care from MDT exhibited a lower risk of polypharmacy (OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.84-0.98). Conclusions Advanced cancer patients who received care from MDT during the end-of-life period had a significantly lower risk of polypharmacy. Key messages • The prevalence of polypharmacy significantly decreased during the study period from 2014 to 2020 among advanced cancer patients. • Advanced cancer patients who received care from MDT during the end-of-life period had a significantly lower risk of polypharmacy.

Dq-YOLOF: An Effective Improvement with Deformable Convolution and Sample Quality Optimization Based on the YOLOF Detector

Single-stage detectors have drawbacks of insufficient accuracy and poor coverage capability. YOLOF (You Only Look One-level Feature) has achieved better performance in this regard, but there is still room for improvement. To enhance the coverage capability for objects of different scales, we propose an improved single-stage object detector: Dq-YOLOF. We have designed an output encoder that employs a series of modules utilizing deformable convolution and SimAM (Simple Attention Module). This module replaces the dilated convolution in YOLOF. This design significantly improves the ability to express details. Simultaneously, we have redefined the sample selection strategy, which optimizes the quality of positive samples based on SimOTA. It can dynamically allocate positive samples according to their quality, reducing computational load and making it more suitable for small objects. Experiments conducted on the COCO 2017 dataset also verify the effectiveness of our method. Dq-YOLOF achieved 38.7 AP, 1.5 AP higher than YOLOF. To confirm performance improvements on small objects, our method was tested on urinary sediment and aerial drone datasets for generalization. Notably, it enhances performance while also lowering computational costs.

Climate Risks and Real Gold Returns over 750 Years

Using data that cover the annual period from 1258 to 2023, we studied the link between real gold returns and climate risks. We documented a positive contemporaneous link and a negative predictive link. Our findings further show that the predictive link historically gave rise to significant out-of-sample forecasting gains. The positive contemporaneous link is consistent with the view that investors viewed gold as a safe haven in times of elevated climate risks. The negative predictive link, in turn, is consistent with an overshooting scenario in which the real gold price overshot in response to climate risks, only to return subsequently to a lower value. Our findings should provide important implications for investors and policymakers, given that our analysis covered the longest possible data sample involving the gold market, and hence, was independent of any sample selection bias.

Hemoglobinopathy Awareness Among Middle and High School Students In Karataş, Türkiye

Objective:Hemoglobinopathies are complex and inherited genetic disorders with no definitive cure; however, preventive measures such as genetic counseling and premarital screening may dramatically reduce their prevalence. Therefore, having sufficient information about the mentioned preventive measures is crucial. Methods:All students attending middle and high schools were included without a sample selection. A survey form was administered to students in order to evaluate their knowledge level and attitudes regarding hemoglobinopathies. The results were evaluated using Chi-square and logistic regression analysis with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results:The total number of students agreeing to participate in the study was 877. The mean age of the participants was 14.8 ± 1.5 years; 50.5% of them were male.Of the participating students, 40.3% were previously informed about hemoglobinopathies.The lowest correct response rate among questions in terms of students’ knowledge about hemoglobinopathies was observed in the question that asked the transmission route of the disorders with 13.7%.In the multivariate analysis, maternal education level (OR=1.417; 95% CI) and knowing an affected patient (OR=4.215; 95% CI) were associated with a greater likelihood of being previously informed. Conclusions:Our study demonstrated that students had insufficient knowledge on hemoglobinopathies in a region where the disorders are prevalent. Organizing and sustaining educational activities related to hemoglobinopathies - particularly genetic basics of the disorders - to students, who are the parents of the future, may be useful in combating hemoglobinopathies. Keywords:Hemoglobinopathies, Awareness, School Health, Middle School Students, High School Students

Building search and analytical competences of master’s students for scientific reviewing

Today, scientific reviewing is not the area of strength of Russian researchers. In many ways, it is due to the lack of research competences taught to the graduate students, and, in particular, search and analytical competences that correspond to the active-operational component of the competence. To overcome this shortcoming, the authors have developed and tested an approach to selecting publications for scientific reviewing. The approach comprises five steps: selecting the starting sample, its expansion, truncation, analysis, and final selection. The pedagogical experiment accomplished with the small groups demonstrated significant increase in the level of research competences in the master’s students who took the specialized course Science Communication based on the above approach. The course resulted in increased competences essential for effective search and analysis of scientific information. Further implementation of the method will improve the educational environment for building research competences in graduate students.

Comparison of microbiological loads of enteral products at two different ambient room temperatures.

Despite the high risk of bacterial contamination, no studies have been found that evaluate the optimal hanging time of open-system enteral sets under room temperature and intensive care conditions. This study aims to determine the differences in microbial loads of solutions taken from open-system enteral feeding sets hanging for 24 h under room temperature and intensive care conditions. This study is a descriptive type of research. The study sample consisted of a total of 40 samples, with 20 samples under room temperature (25.2-23.3°C) and 20 samples under intensive care conditions (21.1-24.2°C). A simple random sampling method was used for sample selection. The assessment of microbial quality was based on the US Food and Drug Administration online Bacteriological Analytical Manual. In this study, it was determined that 5% of the samples taken from intensive care and 15% of the samples taken at room temperature exceeded the accepted limit for aerobic mesophilic bacteria count. The count of catalase and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp was 5% in intensive care samples and 40% in room temperature samples. The total coliform count was not detected in intensive care samples but was 35% in room temperature samples. Escherichia coli was not detected in either group. Differences in microbial loads were observed when commercial enteral solutions were administered using open-system enteral feeding sets under room and intensive care conditions for 24 h. Therefore, large-scale studies are needed to determine the safe use of open-system enteral feeding sets under room temperature conditions.

Emergence of ECSA-IOL E1-K211E/E2-V264A Lineage of Chikungunya virus during Malaysian 2021 outbreak

BackgroundChikungunya cases was reported to be on the rise in Malaysia from 2019 to 2021. Although potential endemicity was described previously, genotype shift during 2008 outbreak originating from the 2004 Indian Ocean Islands outbreak presents the probability of current CHIKV spread from neighboring countries. This is due to the prevalence of the new IOL sub-lineage which consists of E1-226A wildtype or reverted strains that are circulating in the Indian subcontinent before spreading to neighboring Thailand during 2018–2019 outbreak.MethodIn this study, samples received mostly from the Tangkak, Johor were analyzed. A total 56 CHIKV positive serum samples received in 2021 by Institute of Medical Research Malaysia (IMR), were collected based on sample selection criteria. Selected samples were subjected to total RNA extraction, whole-genome sequencing as well as bioinformatic analysis such as phylogenetic, variant and mutation analysis.ResultsBased on the genomic and phylogenetic analysis, the CHIKV samples from 2021 outbreak were of ECSA-IOL genotype. Genome similarity analysis also revealed that these CHIKVs were highly similar to 2018–2019 outbreak strain from Thailand. In comparison to the 2008 outbreak CHIKV isolate, the current CHIKVs lacked the E1-A226V mutation and harbored the new E1-K211E/E2-V264A sub-linage mutation. Since the E1-K211E/E2-V264A mutation facilitates adaptation to Ae. aegypti as opposed to the E1-A226V mutation which improves adaptation to Ae. albopictus, the emergence 2021 CHIKV outbreak in Malaysia can be postulated due to vector shift. Interestingly, a novel nsP3-T441A/V mutation detected in this study, may also play a role in virus transmission, pathogenicity, fitness and vector adaptation.ConclusionIn summary, the current CHIKV outbreak are strains originated from the Indian subcontinent through Thailand which may have capitalized on vector shifting by adapting to Ae. aegypti. The presence of novel nsP3-T441A/V mutation may also contribute to the spread of this virus across peninsular Malaysia.

The physical well-being of Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest: Anthropometric evidence from British Columbia’s jails, 1864–1913

This paper documents the height of Indigenous men from the Pacific Northwest who were incarcerated in British Columbia’s jails during a period of colonization and increasing market access. The average height of adults from a given community reflects the standard of living in that community at the time the adults were growing to maturity. After correcting for the impact of sample selection arising from prisoners’ personal attributes, their home communities’ access to market opportunities, and unobserved height determinants associated with exposure to the colonial criminal justice system, we find that Indigenous men were positively selected into incarceration based on their height. Moreover, the tendency for the tallest men to be incarcerated became stronger over our period of study. Our results suggest that Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest were at a severe bioeconomic disadvantage during the nineteenth century, and their well-being did not improve as market access and colonial institutions spread through the region.

Reshoring concepts: definitions and a structured bibliometric review

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to clearly mark the clusters in the related literature using bibliometric analysis and draw useful implications for the academic research purposes especially in the stream of Supply Chain Management (SCM).Design/methodology/approachBy employing rigorous selection criteria, sample articles were selected for synthesizing and conducting a bibliometric analysis. This paper tries to identify the significance of the concept of reshoring with the aspect of SCM, operations, logistics etc. Starting from sample selection, systematic selection criteria has been used to generate the database, using Scopus. The sample size was 184. Using VOSViewer, statistical and graphical representations were generated for clusters in the literature that will be useful for judging the trends of research under shoring concepts.FindingsFindings show that unclear difference compared to other supply chain concepts obstructs further theory development within reshoring concepts. To address this challenge, the review categorizes themes and defines boundaries. Based on the analysis findings, this paper advocates for additional research in areas that are crucial but have received limited or no attention. Specifically, there is a need for action research on motivations, governance modes, and location selection concerning reshoring decisions.Research limitations/implicationsThis review has a few limitations. The absence of publications in other language, than English, may result in a significant loss of knowledge. This research paper cited a few relevant publications in the form of conference papers, industry reports, books, and book chapters. Nonetheless, they were excluded from the organized bibliometric audit. To further advance the knowledge in this field, exploratory longitudinal case studies will bring to focus the changes on manufacturing strategies using the shoring and reshoring stages.Practical implicationsA current example of this is a French company named Stil (Terzian, 2020) which brought its glass thermometer production back to its home after the unexpected closure of its suppliers from China. Another Italian firm has restarted production of disposal bio-degradable face masks after 15 years to compete with low-cost alternatives from China (Greco, 2020). Reshoring concepts are now under consideration of organizations including Boeing, Bosch, Phillips and more.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, this represents one of the earliest efforts to conceptualize and define reshoring concepts, aiming to distinguish them from one another appropriately. To accomplish this, the earlier demarcated clusters precede this section’s classification of reshoring concepts illustrated in Table 8. Based on the synthesis of definitions and thematic clusters above, we have concluded the literature review in this emerging field. It is intended to contribute to theory development and practitioner support in reshoring decisions by clarifying the dimensions.
