This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the gender-responsive budget, its constraints and the strategies to cope with it. This research is motivated by the lack of response of both central and local governments to implementing gender-responsive budget ideas. This study applied the systematic literature review (SLR) method through three stages: Planning, Conducting and Reporting on research results published over the past five years in five international scientific databases, namely the SAGE Journal, Science Direct, Springer Link, Emerald and Google Scholar. The results showed that the implementation of gender-responsive budgets requires strong support from the government and citizens. The obstacles faced in implementing a gender-responsive budget are weak supporting policies, lack of government commitment, lack of understanding of gender concepts, low political support, and reluctance to change. Then the strategies to overcome these obstacles are: determining the focus of budgeting, strengthening the dimension of communication, strengthening commitments, strengthening the quality of human resources, establishing planning and budgeting sections, and building cooperation with institutions. Since the study applied the systematic literature review (SLR) method, the study has a limitation regarding first-hand data. It suggested further research with first-hand data to find out more detail and contextual information on the implementation of the gender-responsive budgets in respective government institutions.   Abstrak Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pelaksanaan anggaran responsif gender, kendalanya, dan strategi mengatasinya. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kurangnya respon pemerintah baik pusat maupun daerah dalam mengimplementasikan gagasan anggaran yang responsif gender. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode systematic literature review (SLR) melalui tiga tahap: Planning, Conducting dan Reporting terhadap hasil penelitian yang dipublikasikan selama lima tahun terakhir di lima database ilmiah internasional, yaitu SAGE Journal, Science Direct, Springer Link, Emerald dan Google Scholar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi anggaran yang responsif gender membutuhkan dukungan yang kuat dari pemerintah dan masyarakat. Kendala yang dihadapi dalam mengimplementasikan anggaran yang responsif gender adalah lemahnya dukungan kebijakan, kurangnya komitmen pemerintah, kurangnya pemahaman konsep gender, rendahnya dukungan politik, dan keengganan untuk berubah. Kemudian strategi untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut adalah: penentuan fokus penganggaran, penguatan dimensi komunikasi, penguatan komitmen, penguatan kualitas sumber daya manusia, pembentukan seksi perencanaan dan penganggaran, serta membangun kerjasama dengan institusi. Karena penelitian ini menerapkan metode systematic literature review (SLR), penelitian ini memiliki keterbatasan mengenai data primer. Untuk mengetahui informasi lebih detail dan kontekstual tentang pelaksanaan anggaran responsif gender di masing-masing instansi pemerintah, disarankan penelitian empirik dengan menggunakan data primer.

Big data applications are currently used in many application domains, ranging from statistical applications to prediction systems and smart cities. However, the quality of these applications is far from perfect, such as functional error, failure and low performance. Consequently, assuring the overall quality for big data applications plays an increasingly important role. This paper aims at summarizing and assessing existing quality assurance (QA) technologies addressing quality issues in big data applications. We have conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) by searching major scientific databases, resulting in 83 primary and relevant studies on QA technologies for big data applications. The SLR results reveal the following main findings: (1) the quality attributes that are focused for the quality of big data applications, including correctness, performance, availability, scalability and reliability, and the factors influencing them; (2) the existing implementation-specific QA technologies, including specification, architectural choice and fault tolerance, and the process-specific QA technologies, including analysis, verification, testing, monitoring and fault and failure prediction; (3) existing strengths and limitations of each kind of QA technology; (4) the existing empirical evidence of each QA technology. This study provides a solid foundation for research on QA technologies of big data applications and can help developers of big data applications apply suitable QA technologies.

Method Approach

Human capital plays a very strategic role in supporting the competitiveness of a country or region. This study aims to determine how the development of human capital is seen from the theoretical and practical settings and how the solutions are resolved. With the approach pattern, Systematic Literature Review in the journal already is published since the year 2011 until 2021 it got the result that human capital research is currently focused on two topics and trends: the development of education and health. The method often used in human capital research is a quantitative approach of 62%, a qualitative approach of 36% and a mixed-method approach of 2%. The cause of the low increase in human capital is the lack of government attention in improving education and health. The solution given to answer the problem of low human capital is by improving the quality of education and improving public health facilities to achieve better human capital. To achieve this goal, the government plays an important role in this increase.

The Impact

Background:The personal and societal burden of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) urges the research community to identify factors that predict its onset and progression. A mechanistic understanding of disease is currently lacking but needed to develop targeted interventions. Traditionally, risk factors for KOA are termed ‘local’ to the joint or ‘systemic’ referring to whole-body systems. There are however clear indications in the scientific literature that contextual factors such as socioeconomic position merit further scientific scrutiny, in order to justify a more biopsychosocial view on risk factors in KOA.Objectives:The aims of this systematic literature review were to assess the inclusion of socioeconomic factors in KOA research and to identify the impact of socioeconomic factors on pain and function in KOA.Methods:Major bibliographic databases, namely Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science and Cochrane, were independently screened by two reviewers (plus one to resolve conflicts) to identify research articles dealing with socioeconomic factors in the KOA population without arthroplasty. Included studies had to quantify the relationship between socioeconomic factors and pain or function. Main exclusion criteria were: a qualitative design, subject age below 16 years and articles not written in English or Dutch. Methodological quality was assessed via the Cochrane risk of bias tools for randomized (ROB-II) and non-randomized intervention studies (ROBIN-I) and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for assessing the quality of non-randomised studies. Due to heterogeneity of studies with respect to outcomes assessed and analyses performed, no meta-analysis was performed.Results:Following de-duplication, 7639 articles were available for screening (120 conflicts resolved without a third reader). In 4112 articles, the KOA population was confirmed. 1906 (25%) were excluded because of knee arthroplasty and 1621 (21%) because of other issues related to the population definition. Socioeconomic factors could not be identified in 4058 (53%) papers and were adjusted for in 211 (3%) articles. In the remaining papers covering pain (n=110) and/or function (n=81), education (62%) and race (37%) were most frequently assessed as socioeconomic factors. A huge variety of mainly dichotomous or ordinal socioeconomic outcomes was found without further methodological justification nor sensitivity analysis to unravel the impact of selected categories. Although the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was the most popular instrument to assess pain and function, data pooling was not possible as socioeconomic factors estimates were part of multilevel models in most studies. Overall results showed that lower education and African American race were consistent predictors of pain and poor function, but those effects diminished or disappeared when psychological aspects (e.g. discrimination) or poverty estimates were taken into account. When function was assessed using self-reported outcomes, the impact of socioeconomic factors was more clear versus performance-based instruments. Quality of research was low to moderate and the moderating or mediating impact of socioeconomic factors on intervention effects in KOA is understudied.Conclusion:Research on contextual socioeconomic factors in KOA is insufficiently addressed and their assessment is highly variable methodologically. Following this systematic literature review, we can highlight the importance of implementing a standardised and feasible set of socioeconomic outcomes in KOA trials1, as well as the importance of public availability of research databases including these factors. Future research should prioritise the underlying mechanisms in the effect of especially education and race on pain and function and assess its impact on intervention effects to fuel novel (non-)pharmacological approaches in KOA.References:[1]Smith TO et al.

Surgical Treatments

Despite the large number of available surgical interventions aimed at the treatment of rectovaginal fistulas, the results of their use remain extremely disappointing, associated with the high recurrence rate of the disease reaching 80 %, as well as the lack of a single tactic to minimize the risk of anal incontinence and the need for colostomy. Objective: to conduct a systematic literature review in order to summarize information related to the rectovaginal fistulas surgery. The systematic review includes the results of an analysis of 97 clinical trials selected from 756 publications found in databases. Inclusion criteria: a full-text article, the presence of at least 5 patients in the study, as well as data on the outcome of surgery. Clinical trials with different surgical treatments were identified and classified into the following categories: elimination of the rectovaginal septal defect with a displaced flap (rectal and vaginal); Martius surgery; gracilis muscle transposition; transperineal procedure; abdominal procedure including endoscopic and laparoscopic methods; use of biological or biocompatible materials. Treatment outcomes vary significantly from 0 % to > 80 %. None of the studies were randomized. Due to the low quality of the identified studies, comparison of results and meta-analysis conduction were not possible. Conclusion: as a result of the systematic review, data for the analysis and development of any strategic and tactical algorithms for the treatment of RVF were not obtained. The most important questions still remain open: what and when surgical method to choose, is it necessary to form a disconnecting stoma?
