Legal Protection of Copyright on Creative Industrial Work Made by Artificial Intelligence
No full textIn recent years, technological advancement has been rapid. Artificial intelligence refers to the availability of applications capable of completing tasks involving the imitation of human intellectual processes by computers, particularly computer systems. A major developing concern nowadays is who owns the copyright of images created by artificial intelligence, notably in the Creative Industry. It’s a tricky issue—professional artists are outraged, copyright officials are baffled, and attorneys are preparing to have a field day. The issue lies in the effectiveness regarding the protection of copyright on creative industry work, made by the Artificial Intelligence itself. Since it is a machine/computer system capable of possessing human intelligence in performing complex tasks such as creating creative industrial work, it creates difficulty in how far such protection can be provided for creative industrial work. Therefore, it is difficult to prove the legal aspect of an artwork made by a machine, not by humans.

Gaining Insight into Fiscal Decentralization at Producing Public Value (Accountability) Through Public Goods and Public Interest: Literature Review of Fiscal Decentralization in the Indonesian and Global Context
No full textThis study examines fiscal decentralization in Indonesia and globally focuses on public value. Empirically, several studies show that fiscal decentralization positively or negatively impacts economic growth. When examined with the meaning of public value, the budget, which is the basis of bureaucracy in the political process (decision-making and management institution), can reflect public values. The difference between these two phenomena means that some studies show variations in the implementation and effectiveness of fiscal decentralization. Using a semi-systematic literature review method, this study analyses empirical findings from Indonesia and globally on public value in the context of public goods and public interest. The results show that the facts related to fiscal decentralization both in Indonesia and globally still have a low degree of public value, especially concerning accountability in the meaning of public goods and public interests
The Development of Community-based Tourism on Giliyang Island, Madura: A Case for Rebranding
No full textThis study aims to analyze (i) whether the current branding of Giliyang Island as a tourist destination is appropriate, and (ii) to explore the possibility of developing a stronger and more suitable branding strategy for the island that appeals to both national and international tourists. To achieve this, a descriptive qualitative approach was employed, utilizing on-site observations and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders involved in tourism development on Giliyang Island. The findings of the study reveal that (i) Giliyang Island has significant untapped tourism potential that is not adequately reflected in its current branding, (ii) the existing branding may limit market expansion and reduce the island’s appeal to a broader target audience, and (iii) a new, more relevant branding strategy is needed to better capture the island’s unique attractions and enhance its appeal to potential visitors. Rebranding is necessary to present Giliyang Island as a more attractive destination, thereby increasing its visibility and competitiveness in the tourism market
Sustainability of Tourism Villages in Madura
No full textThis research aims to analyze the sustainability of tourist villages in Madura. This research is very urgent because four districts in Madura have very large tourism village potential (145 villages), but village SDGs achievements are relatively low in East Java. Tourism villages are very strategic for achieving village SDGs, as an integrated and sustainable effort to create villages without poverty. The research results show that the development of tourist villages in Madura has been implemented on a massive scale but its sustainability is greatly influenced by community conflicts after the village head election. After the village head election, tourist villages are often characterized by two conflicting community groups, namely: the group supporting the elected village head and the group supporting the village head candidate who was not elected. A tourist village that has been developed by the previous village head will be guaranteed its sustainability if the new village head selected comes from the previous group of village heads and vice versa. So every change of village head often has implications for the sustainability of the tourist village. Many tourist villages in Madura were closed after a change of village head
The Influence of Exports, Imports, and Domestic Investment on Inflation Control in Indonesia
No full textThis study aims to analyze the effect of exports, imports, and domestic investment on the inflation rate in Indonesia in the short and long term. The data used is secondary data for the period 1992-2021. The analysis method used is the auto regressive distributed lag model. The results of this study indicate that in the short term, the inflation rate in Indonesia is influenced by the previous year’s inflation, exports and exports the last year, imports the prior year, and investments the previous year. Meanwhile, in the long term, investment has a significant effect on the inflation rate, but exports and imports are not important
Improving reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer over fresh embryo transfer in women with endometrioma: A historical cohort study
No full textBackground: Endometrioma, a common manifestation of endometriosis, often indicates the severity of the disease. In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (ET) are key therapeutic strategies for infertility associated with endometriosis. However, the optimal type of ET (frozen or fresh) and its impact on pregnancy success rates remain debated, with limited studies available.
Objective: This historical cohort study aimed to compare fertility and neonatal outcomes, focusing on live birth rate (LBR), clinical pregnancy, and implantation rates in women with endometrioma-associated infertility, between fresh and frozen embryo transfer (FET).
Materials and Methods: In this historical cohort study, the medical records (files) of 289 women diagnosed with endometrioma-related infertility, who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment at Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran between March 2016–2021 were reviewed. Ultimately, 200 files that met the established criteria were selected for review. The extracted data was then compared between groups: FET (n = 121) and fresh ET (n = 79).
Results: No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of demographic characteristics and endometrioma size. The only significant difference in fertility outcomes was the LBR, which was 36.4% for the FET group compared to 22.8% for the fresh ET group (p = 0.04). No significant differences were observed in neonatal outcomes between the groups. Overall, our study suggests that FET may lead to higher LBRs in women diagnosed with endometrioma.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that FET may lead to higher LBRs in women diagnosed with endometrioma
Effects of L-carnitine and pentoxifylline on long-term preservation of the human sperms: An experimental study
No full textBackground: In infertility clinics, long-time preserving high-quality spermatozoa is a challenging problem.
Objective: The present study aimed to prolong preserving of the human spermatozoa by adding pentoxifylline (PT) and L-carnitine (LC) without using high-cost freezing techniques. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, semen samples of 26 normozoospermia men aged between 28–34 yr, were firstly prepared using the swim-up technique, and each sample was divided into the following 3 aliquots: untreated control group, the LC, and PT-treated groups. The samples were stored for up to 12 days at 4–6°C, and sperm motility was assessed. The percentages of the sperms with double-stranded DNA, apoptotic, and acrosomal interacted sperms were evaluated by sperm chromatin structure assay, AnnexinV-PI staining, and peanut agglutinin, respectively.
Results: On day 7, 26.83% ± 4.26 of sperms were motile in the PT group which was significantly more than LC (6.67% ± 0.61) and control (0.83 ± 0.17) groups (p < 0.001). At day 12, while all sperms lost their motility in LC and control groups, adding PT led to 3.17% ± 0.47 sperms remaining motile (p < 0.001). Moreover, on day 12, the percent of apoptotic sperms in the PT-treated group (8% ± 0.20) was significantly lower than in LC-treated group (5.9% ± 0.28, p = 0.03). None of the additives positively affected the number of sperms with double-stranded DNA (p > 0.05). LC could also maintain acrosomal integrity over a storage time of up to 12 days.
Conclusion: Despite PT’s improved sperm motility, LC was more efficient in preventing apoptosis and acrosomal reactions. However, DNA was resistant to denaturation regardless of the treatments
The role of salivary antioxidant level in polycystic ovary syndrome women under assisted reproductive technology treatment: A case-control study
No full textBackground: Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse. Approximately 85% of infertile couples have an identifiable cause, one of the most common causes of infertility is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The reduction of antioxidant levels in serum and follicular fluid in infertile women compared to healthy women shows the importance of further studying these markers.
Objective: To study salivary and serum antioxidant levels in PCOS participants under assisted reproductive technology.
Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 80 women in 2 groups including normal participants as control and PCOS groups (n = 40/each). Serum and salivary antioxidant levels such as saliva superoxide dismutase (SOD), saliva anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), serum SOD, serum total oxidant status, and serum AMH were measured.
Results: The average age of participants was 31.6 ± 5.4 yr. In both the saliva and serum, antioxidant levels differed significantly between the PCOS and control groups. Key findings showed that the PCOS group had different antioxidant levels and higher serum AMH levels compared to the control group, with all differences being statistically significant (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Our finding underscored that saliva antioxidant levels, especially SOD, are a good marker for PCOS diagnosis. It is noninvasive, can easily be performed by the participants, and can be collected in various settings without specialized equipment
Bridging Cultures: The Role of Qatari Heritage Districts in Promoting Cultural Interactions, Acculturation, and Identity Formation Among Malayalee Migrants
No full textThis paper examines the interaction of Indian Malayalee migrants with Qatari heritage districts highlighting the latter’s role in fostering cultural integration, acculturation, and identity negotiation. Through a case study of a three-generation Malayalee family, the author explores the varying degrees of engagement between short- and long-term migrants, emphasizing the sociocultural and psychological impacts of heritage districts. The findings reveal that while short-term migrants engage in a surface-level exploration of cultural spaces, long-term migrants develop deeper connections, integrating these districts into their lives and forming meaningful relationships with local culture. This paper also explores and underscores the challenges of maintaining cultural identity and belonging in a transnational multicultural setting, illustrating how heritage districts become spaces for cultural exchange
