Activismo y defensa de derechos de las personas que viven con VIH en México: una interpretación desde las condiciones que impone la heteronormatividad
Authors: Guadarrama Sánchez Gloria Jovita , Montoya Casasola Miguel Angel
Published: January 2024

En las últimas dos décadas se ha presentado en México un incremento en el activismo de un sector de la comunidad LGBTTTIQ+ en torno a la defensa de los derechos de las personas que viven con VIH (PVV). Este artículo se propone explorar las causas de este fenómeno entendiendo que este proceso no se explica solo por variables vinculadas al género, sino que se encuentra enraizado en la precarización de las condiciones de vida en el marco de la heteronormatividad, las cuales, a su vez, son determinadas por los cambios en la estructura económica de la sociedad en un contexto histórico determinado. Para ello, se recurrió a la observación participante y la realización de entrevistas a activistas pertenecientes a colectivos destacados en la acción política de la diversidad sexual, así como a investigación documental. Los resultados advierten la relación entre fenómenos como la discriminación y la homofobia con la estructura social, como componente de los desplazamientos en el activismo político.

Challenges to Lexical Development Among High School Students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: The Impact of Teacher Training Deficiencies in Vocabulary Methodologies
Authors: AlRashidi Majed Saud
Published: January 2024

The levels of English proficiency among high school students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) have remained low despite concerted efforts by the government through the Ministry of Education to improve performance in this area. One factor causing this poor performance is a lack of lexical development among students. The present study sought to investigate the impact of inadequate teacher training on students’ lexical development using secondary data from existing research on teacher training in the KSA and the lack of attention to methodology, particularly in the context of vocabulary teaching. The results revealed that more attention is given to grammar than vocabulary, which negatively impacts lexical development among learners in high schools when undertrained teachers do not have the requisite competence to equip students with the skills for vocabulary learning. The study lays the foundation for a more empirical approach through research methods that can produce generalizable findings. It also provides recommendations that have critical implications for stakeholders in the education sector, extending from teacher training institutions and academia to policy makers and curriculum developers in the KSA.

PUNISHMENT FOR POLYGAMY DOER IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC LAW â€œFIQHâ€ IN INDONESIA
Authors: Nurcahaya Nurcahaya , Akbarizan Akbarizan , Absor Muhammad , Rinaldi Afdhol
Published: January 2024

Indonesian government  has been progressively attempting to minimalize the polygamy. This is proved by the issuance of regulation/constitution (UU) No. 1 in 1974. Then, specific regulation (PP) is also issued for the civil servants No. 10 in 1983 and has been amended into No. 45 in 1990 dealing with the permission for marriage and divorce. Both UU and PP stipulate certain of punishments in doing polygamy. This research is aimed to find out (1). What punishments are given for civil servants in terms of UU No. 1 Tahun 1974. (2) How is the punishments given for civil servants in terms of Islamic Marriage Law/fiqh. Hence, the main data used is UU No. 1 in 1974 for general reference. Meanwhile, PP No. 10 in 1983 which was amended into PP No. 45 in 1990 is also applicable to civil servants. Second data is Al-Qurâ€™an, Hadist, fiqh books and compilation of Islamic Law. Among the findings of this research are; firstly, civil servants who break the polygamy law could be fined amount of seven thousand Rupiah (IDR). If his new marriage is no consent from applied rules, he could be punished by the four alternatives: (1) lowering his rank to lower level; (2) freeing from his current position; (3) being fired from the current government civil servant; (4) ceasing his status as civil servant disrespectfully. Female civil servant whose status is as the second/third/forth wife would be ceased disrespectfully from civil servant. Secondly, in Islamic law or fiqh, polygamy is obligated to fulfill certain of requirements. In fiqh, polygamy is strictly forbidden. It refers to Quranic verse: Ø°ÙŽÙ„ÙÙƒÙŽ Ø£ÙŽØ¯Ù’Ù†ÙŽÙ‰ Ø£ÙŽÙ„Ø§ ØªÙŽØ¹ÙÙˆÙ„ÙÙˆØ§. This is viewed as â€˜azimah, meanwhile it is allowed to do if he could give justices to his wives as so called as rukhshah.  Regulation on polygamy is referring to Al-Qurâ€™an which allows man to marry more than one wife. In another reference, Indonesia government through marriage regulation is forbidden in terms of its negative impacts (mafsadah) are bigger than positive one (mashlahah).
THE LEGAL RATIONALES OF ENACTING MALAYSIAN SPACE LEGISLATION
Authors: Saari Che Zuhaida
Published: January 2024

The involvement of Malaysia in outer space activities is irrefutable. It had started long ago from 1960 with the construction of her first earth satellite station in Kuantan, Pahang. Apart from building the earth satellite stations, Malaysia also has involved in various space applications and activities. These include telecommunication and broadcasting, remote sensing, meteorology, navigation, satellite manufacturing and launching, astronaut programme, suborbital space plane, commercial space ports and so forth. Such activities in fact need proper regulations. Even though some of these activities are at initial stages of involvement, however, there is a great opportunity for further engagement. Since Malaysia has no specific law deals with outer space activities, thus this paper discusses the legal rationales why it is necessary to enact the Malaysian outer space legislation. It hopes it will justify the importance of outer space legislation in the context of Malaysia as an actor and a contributor to outer space activities.

Dünyada ve Türkiye’de çok sayıda köpek genotipi bulunmaktadır. Bu köpek genotipleri çeşitli amaçlar (av, çoban, bekçi, arama-kurtarma köpeği vb) doğrultusunda yetiştirilmektedir. Geçmişte avcılıkla başlayan köpek ve insan birlikteliği günümüzde birçok alanda devam etmektedir ve ilk evciltilen tür olması muhtemeldir. Köpeklerin kökeni, evrimi ve birbirleri ile olan genetik uzaklıkların belirlenmesinde, köpeklerin bir veya birkaç yerde mi evcilleştirildiğini, evcilleştirildiği zamanı ve yerini tespit etmek, evcil köpekler arasındaki genetik varyasyonu belirlemek için çeşitli yöntemlerden (mitokondrial DNA (mtDNA), mikrosatelit, tek nükleotid polimorfizmi (SNP), kesilmiş parça uzunluk polimorfizmi (RFLP) gibi) yararlanılmaktadır. Bu analizlerin çoğu populasyon genetiği esasına dayanmaktadır. Diğer evcil türlerde olduğu gibi, köpeklerin de farklı yer ve zamanlarda evcilleştirilmeleri farklı köpek ırklarının oluşmasına neden olmuştur. Köpek yetiştiriciliğinde değişik birleştirme metodları ve seleksiyon uygulanarak farklı amaçlara uygun köpek ırkları meydana getirilmiştir. Birçok hayvan türünde olduğu gibi köpekler üzerinde de farklı genetik çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu amaçla genetik markerlardan (kalça displazisi gibi kalıtsal hastalıkların tespiti, yavru cinsiyetinin belirlenmesi, ikizlik ve freemartinismus olgularının tespiti, genom haritalarının çıkarılması vb) faydalanılmaktadır. Bu derlemede, köpeklerde marker genlerin kullanımı hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
Correlation Between Magnitude of ST Segment Elevation and the Proximal Right Coronary Artery Lesion in Acute Inferior Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Mahmood Adyle , Shahabuddin Muhammad , Habibullah S M , Kamal Choudhury Gulshan Ara
Published: January 2024

Introduction: The determination of the probable site of occlusion within RCA in acute inferior MI is very important because proximal occlusions are likely to cause greater myocardial damage and an early invasive strategy may be planned in such cases. Furthermore, identification of infarct-related artery and its site in acute inferior myocardial infarction not only guide decision regarding the urgency of revascularization but also guide to avoid therapy that may adversely affect the outcome.
Objective: To predict the site of lesion in right coronary artery in acute inferior myocardial infarction by the magnitude of ST segment elevation in inferior leads (II, III and aVF).
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, from January 2014 to December 2015. A total of 50 consecutive patients with inferior MI who present within 12 hours of symptom onset and received fibrinolytic therapy were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Using 12-lead ECG, height of ST segment elevation in leads II, III and aVF were measured & coronary angiography(CAG) was performed during index hospital period .CAG which showed culprit lesion in RCA were only taken for the study. The sum of STsegment elevation in inferior leads were then correlated with the proximal lesion in RCA.
 Results: The age of the patients ranged from 31 to 70 years with the mean age of 51.1 (SD 9.2) years. Majorities (88%) of the patients were male and ratio of male to female was 7.33:1.Out of 50 patients, 26(52%) had the lesion in proximal, 19 (38%) in mid and 05 (10%) in distal RCA. Patients with proximal RCA lesion showed a mean ST segment elevation of 12.5(SD 1.07) mm, with mid RCA lesion 8.5 (SD 0.80) mm and distal RCA lesion 6.5(SD 0.42) mm. There was a positive correlation of sum of ST segment elevation in inferior leads II, III and aVF to the proximal lesion in RCA (r=0.923, P < 0.05).
Conclusion: From the study it is concluded that the magnitude of ST segment elevation in inferior leads (II,III, aVF) can predict site of lesion in RCA in acute inferior wall myocardial infarction; the greater the sum of the height of ST segment elevation in inferior leads, the higher is the probability of lying the lesion in proximal right coronary artery.

Background: Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a complex seronegative inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of PsA in arthritic patients along with associated demographic and clinical characteristics in a tertiary care setting in Bangladesh.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Rheumatology Clinic of Dhaka Medical College Hospital over a period of 6 months from March 2018 to August 2018. A total of 600 arthritis patients underwent screening for PsA, with subsequent evaluations of confirmed cases based on the CASPAR criteria. Demographic and clinical characteristics were documented through face-to-face interviews and physical examination. For data collection, a pre-structured questionnaire was used. Disease activity was assessed using the DAPSA score. The study was conducted according to the ‘Declaration of Helsinki’. The statistical analysis was done with SPSS v-21.
Results: The prevalence of PsA in arthritis patients was 5%. Age distribution of PsA showed a majority in between 30-39 years age group with a mean of 36.33±11.86 (SD).  Slight female predominance was reported with a percentage of 53.3%. Almost three-fourths of study patients presented with a current diagnosis of psoriasis while the rest had a personal history or family history. A higher incidence (67.7%) of plaque psoriasis was observed followed by sebopsoriasis (20%) and for the rest of the patients, the type of psoriasis was unknown. The disease mostly involved multiple joints (90%), with ankle and metacarpal joints being the most commonly affected at 43.3% and 33.3%, respectively. Disease activity was high in the majority of the patients according to the DAPSA score, representing 53.34% of the patients, with the remainder exhibiting moderate to low disease activity.
Conclusion: The study revealed a significant incidence of PsA among the arthritic population which indicates a pressing need for further extensive research on PsA across diverse populations.

Published: January 2024

Konsep bangunan tahan gempa didasarkan pada mekanisme kelelehan pada salah satu elemen. Pada sistem core struktur rangka baja, coupling beam berfungsi sebagai elemen pendisipasi energi gempa dimana kelelehan direncanakan. Namun jika elemen tersebut rusak maka biaya perbaikan akan tinggi dan secara proses mengganggu aktivitas gedung. Mempertimbangkan kondisi tersebut maka dilakukan pengembangan pada elemen coupling beam dengan cara menambahkan link geser. Mekanisme kelelehan dipindahkan pada elemen link sedangkan coupling beam tetap bersifat elastis. Kajian numerik dan eksperimental dilakukan untuk meninjau perilaku kelelehan yang terjadi pada elemen link dan coupling beam. Sub-assembly yang terdiri dari kolom, coupling beam dan link geser WF150x75x6x8 di uji dibawah pembebanan siklik sesuai dengan AISC 341-10. Analisis numerik dilakukan dengan cara pushover dimana parameter yang berkaitan dengan sifat non-linier dari setiap Sub-assembly di desain berdasarkan ketentuan FEMA-356. Hasil analisis pushover dan eksperimental menunjukkan bahwa kelelehan dapat dipertahankan pada link. Pengujian siklik pada Sub-assembly menghasilkan rotasi plastis pada link geser sebesar 0,17 radian tanpa menyebabkan kerusakan pada kolom dan coupling beam. Kelelehan pertama pada analisis pushover terjadi pada gaya 180,9 kN sedangkan hasil eksperimental terjadi pada pembebanan sebesar 157,04 kN. Pengujian siklik menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kapasitas geser sebesar 7% dari hasil analisis pushover.

Published: January 2024

Researchers in the past have found that instructors’ levels of competence have an important effect on their ability to teach. This research aims to determine if there is a quality gap in Maldives’ higher education institutions between public and private institutions and between full-time and part-time lecturers. An online structured questionnaire was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey as part of the quantitative research strategy. Lecturers from both public and private universities took part in this investigation. The Mann-Whitney U test found a statistically significant difference between public (M=67.52) and private (M=48.07) institution lecturers in terms of competency; U=829.50, p=0.021. However, lecturers’ competency mean rank scores of full-time lecturers (M=64.82) and part-time lecturers (M=59.34) indicate the difference of mean scores of lecturers’ competency was not statistically significant, U=937.50, p=0.55. It is likely better recruitment and in-service professional development policies at public institutes are established at the institutional level, thereby improving lecturers’ competency compared to private institutes.
Reviewing Entrepreneurial Competencies in Undergraduate Education With Focus on Decision-Making
Authors: Valdes Victor , Lopez Itzel
Published: January 2024

The interest of entrepreneurial competencies has increased in the academic world, yet little has been done to review how these are taught. This paper aims to review how entrepreneurial competencies interventions are delivered to undergraduate students and to shed light on the current gap between these interventions and what is proposed in entrepreneurial competencies frameworks. Therefore, decision-making and other entrepreneurial competencies delivered in undergraduate education are reviewed. A systematic literature review was conducted to detect papers reporting decision-making interventions; 15 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2016 and 2022 are included in this review. Results indicate that, in most cases, current decision-making interventions in undergraduate education are not lined up with entrepreneurial competencies frameworks. Few papers report enhancing decision-making in students whereas the others report improving other competencies such as self-awareness. It is shown that interventions with “through” learning objectives and its teaching methods provide the greatest opportunities for undergraduates to develop decision making competence; that is the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to grapple uncertainty, ambiguity, and risk.

Dagusibu (Dapatkan, Gunakan, Simpan, Buang) merupakan program gerakan keluarga sadar yang diprakarsai oleh Ikatan Apoteker Indonesia dalam mencapai pemahaman dan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap penggunaan obat dengan benar. Obat merupakan produk yang diperlukan untuk pemeliharaan dan meningkatkan kesehatan,jika penggunaanya tidak tepat, tidak sesuai dengan takaran dan indikasinya akan membahayakan. Perlakuan kesalahan terhadap obat dapat menyebabkan obat tersebut tidak dapat digunakan, berpotensi merugikan orang lain dan lingkungan. Komponen penting dari pelayanan kesehatan, obat merupakan kebutuhan masyarakat yang tidak terpisahkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Dapat dipastikan di setiap rumah tangga pasti tersedia obat. Obat sisa dalam hal ini adalah obat sisa resep dokter atau obat sisa dari penggunaan sebelumnya yang tidak dihabiskan. Seharusnya obat sisa resep secara umum tidak boleh disimpan dapat menyebabkan penggunaan salah (misused), obat rusak/kadaluarsa. Demikian juga cara pembuangan obat yang tersedia di rumah belum tentu dilakukan dengan benar. Selain itu, kasus penjualan obat dari limbah rumah tangga yang pernah terjadi disebabkan karena masyarakat belum memahami cara menyimpan dan membuang obat secara benar di rumah tangga. Dagusibu (Dapatkan, Gunakan, Simpan, Buang) merupakan program Gerakan Keluarga Sadar Obat yang diprakarsai oleh Ikatan Apoteker Indonesia dalam mencapai pemahaman dan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap penggunaan obat dengan benar.
Exploring preterm sleep
Authors:   , de Groot Eline Rosa
Published: January 2024

The aim of this thesis was to take the important next steps to understand the role of sleep in preterm development. Subsequently, the groundwork is laid to design an intervention aimed to improve sleep of preterm infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units. As has been highlighted in chapter 7, sleep is an important behavioral state during development and a potential driver of early brain connectivity. The retrospective cohort study in chapter 8 built upon the existing animal research by proving a positive association between active sleep around 30 weeks postmenstrual age and a higher white matter volume at term equivalent age. Furthermore, in chapter 9 we suggest that active sleep might protect brain development in the most vulnerable preterm infants.

However, as shown in chapter 10, sleep is barely considered during most clinical handovers and ward rounds in the neonatal intensive care unit. Furthermore, healthcare professionals have trouble distinguishing active sleep from wake, which poses the risk that active sleep is disproportionately disturbed during standard care practices.

To improve sleep in the neonatal intensive care unit, we should first have a good clinical understanding of preterm sleep physiology and sleep quality. Subsequently, we can assess how sleep changes following an intervention. In order to do this, the current literature on sleep assessment in preterm infants was reviewed (chapter 2 and chapter 3) and combined into the first reliable and validated manual sleep classification system for preterm infants between 25 and 37 weeks postmenstrual age; the “Behavioral Sleep stage classification for Preterm Infants” (BeSSPI; chapter 4). Using the BeSSPI, two automated classifiers were developed to continuously assess sleep stages. The radar-based classifier (chapter 6) has currently only been used on retrospective data. However, the “Sleep Well Baby” classifier (chapter 5) is running bedside in our neonatal intensive care unit as a pilot.

Published: January 2024

An increased risk of myocardial ischemic changes was demonstrated in patients suffering from panic disorder (PD). Using classical ECG methods, this risk cannot be evaluated in most patients. We measured the vectocardiogram (VCG) using Frank orthogonal leads and body surface maps (BSM) including 12-lead ECG. In our study of 11 PD patients (2 men, 9 women), without any seizures and pharmacological treatment and without cardiovascular symptoms, we found marked sinus tachycardia (heart rate 90.1±12.2 min-1) and a shorter R-R interval (678±93.6 ms) than in 27 controls (heart rate 73.6±7.7min-1, R-R 822.7±86.4 ms) (5 men, 22 women) (p<0.001). The VCG measured spatial QRS-STT angle was more opened (70.3±24.5°) than in the control group (49.5±19.5°) (p<0.05). The maximum (extremum) in depolarization (DIAM max 30, 40) and repolarization (RIAM max 35) of body surface isoarea and isointegral (RIIM max) maps was less positive (p<0.001) and the minimum (DIAM min 40) was less negative than in the controls (p<0.05) even in the period free of a panic attack. Our results showed the changes in the heart electric field parameters occurred in PD patients when compared to the control group.

Pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH) is a new tridentate Fe-chelating agent that should be very promising in many pathological states resulting from both an iron-overload and formation of free radicals. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of PIH on the cardiovascular system focusing to the regulatory protein - cardiac troponin T (cTnT). The study was carried out in two groups of Chinchilla male rabbits: 1) PIH (50 mg/kg dissolved in 10 % Cremophor i.p., once a week, 10 administrations, n=8) and 2) Cremophor (2 ml/kg i.p. in the same schedule, n=7). Plasma concentrations of cTnT (as a marker of myocardial damage) were measured using a commercial kit (Roche). cTnT was within the physiological range (i.e. < 0.1 mg/l) during the whole experiment in the Cremophor group. In the PIH group, the cTnT levels were not significantly increased when compared with the control group or with the initial values (except with those before the 5th administration). Furthermore, we analyzed the cytosolic and myofibrillar fraction of cTnT in the left ventricular myocardium. Using SDS-PAGE and Western blot we resolved three isoforms. The profiling of TnT did not differ significantly between the PIH-treated group and the Cremophor-treated group. Our data concerning cTnT support the opinion that the possible cardiotoxicity of PIH is very low.

The decreased oxidizability of plasma lipoproteins is related to the increased vitamin E intake and its association with a relatively lower incidence of coronary heart disease has been proposed. We investigated the effect of the in vivo vitamin E supplementation on the oxidizability of serum lipids in patients with ischemic heart disease and a moderate hypercholesterolemia. Thirty-two patients (16 males and 16 postmenopausal women) participated in this placebo-controlled, randomized trial. They were treated with 400 mg vitamin E/day for 6 weeks. The copper-induced serum lipid oxidizability ex vivo was assessed by measuring conjugated diene formation at 245 nm. We also measured vitamin E, malondialdehyde (MDA) and uric acid concentrations in the plasma. Because of observed significant differences in parameters of serum lipid oxidizability (lag time and maximal rate of oxidation), plasma a-tocopherol and MDA levels between male patients and postmenopausal women supplemented with vitamin E, the results were compared between both genders. Six weeks of vitamin E supplementation significantly increased plasma vitamin E levels (by 87 %) in male patients but in postmenopausal women only by 34 %. Concomitantly with increased plasma levels of vitamin E the decrease in plasma MDA levels was observed in male patients (decrease by 20 %; p=0.008), but in postmenopausal women the decrease did not attain statistical significance. Plasma uric acid levels were not apparently changed in placebo or vitamin E supplemented groups of patients. The changes in ex vivo serum lipid oxidizability after vitamin E, supplementation have shown a significantly prolonged lag time (by 11 %; p=0.048) and lowered rate of lipid oxidation (by 21 %; p=0.004) in male patients in comparison with postmenopausal women. Linear regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between plasma vitamin E levels and the lag time (r=0.77; p=0.03) and the maximal rate of serum lipid oxidation (r=-0.70; p=0.05) in male patients. However, in postmenopausal women the correlations were not significant. We conclude that 400 mg vitamin E/day supplementation in patients with ischemic heart disease and a moderate hypercholesterolemia influenced favorably ex vivo serum lipid oxidation of male patients when compared with postmenopausal women. The observed differences between both genders could be useful in the selection of the effective vitamin E doses in the prevention of coronary heart disease.

Toxic influence of high oxygen concentration on pulmonary function and structures has been known for many years. However, the influence of high oxygen concentration breathing on defensive respiratory reflexes is still not clear. In our previous experiments, we found an inhibitory effect of 100 % oxygen breathing on cough reflex intensity in healthy guinea pigs. The present study was designed to detect the effects of hyperoxia on cough reflex in guinea pigs with allergic airway inflammation. In the first phase of our experiment, the animals were sensitized with ovalbumin. Thirty-two sensitized animals were used in two separate experiments according to oxygen concentration breathing: 100 % or 50 % oxygen for 60 h continuously. In each experiment, one group of animals was exposed to hyperoxia, another to ambient air. The cough reflex was induced both by aerosol of citric acid before sensitization, then in sensitized animals at 24 h and 60 h of exposition to oxygen/air in awake animals, and by mechanical stimulation of airway mucosa in anesthetized animals just after the end of the experiment. In contrast to 50 % oxygen, 100 % oxygen breathing leads to significant decrease in chemically induced cough in guinea pigs with allergic inflammation. No significant changes were present in cough induced by mechanical stimulation of airways.

Published: January 2024

Anticonvulsant action of vigabatrin (300, 600, 900 and/or 1200 mg/kg i.p.), an inhibitor of GABA-transaminase, was studied in a model of motor sezures elicited by pentylenetetrazol. Five age groups of rats (7, 12, 18, 25 and 90 days old) received a s.c. injection of pentylenetetrazol 4, 6 and/or 24 hours after vigabatrin administration. The incidence of minimal, predominantly clonic seizures was not changed in any age group, but their latencies were prolonged in 18- and 25-day-old rats. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures were influenced in a more complex manner. Incidence of these seizures was decreased in 7-day-old rat pups 24 hours after vigabatrin administration. Higher doses of vigabatrin exhibited a similar effect in adult rats at all intervals studied. Specific suppression or at least restriction of the tonic phase was observed in all groups of immature rats, the effect was more marked 24 hours after vigabatrin than at shorter intervals. The anticonvulsant action of vigabatrin, which could be demonstrated mainly against generalized tonic-clonic seizures, varies markedly during development.

Published: January 2024

The relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) intragenic polymorphisms FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI and bone mineral density (BMD) or biochemical markers of bone remodeling were investigated in 114 Czech postmenopausal women, on the average 62.5±8.9 years of age. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the VDR gene were assessed by PCR amplification and digestion with restriction enzymes FokI, BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI recognizing polymorphic sites in the VDR locus. Bone mineral density was measured at the lumbar spine and at the hip by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA, g/cm2). After adjusting for age and the body mass index (BMI), subjects with the ff genotype had 9.4 % lower BMD at the hip than those with the Ff genotype (p=0.0459, Tukey´s test). FF individuals had an intermediate BMD at the hip. A similar pattern of lower lumbar spine BMD was also found in ff individuals, but it did not reach statistical significance. There was no relationship between BsmI, ApaI and TaqI VDR polymorphisms and BMD at any skeletal site. Subjects with Aa (ApaI) genotypes had higher levels of propeptide of type I collagen (PICP) than homozygous AA (p=0.0459, Tukey´s test). In FokI, BsmI and TaqI restriction sites the biochemical markers of bone remodeling did not differ by genotype. In addition, no significant difference was observed in VDR genotypic distribution between osteoporotic women and non-osteoporotic controls in the study group. To conclude, the FokI genotype of the vitamin D receptor gene is related to bone mass at the hip in Czech postmenopausal women, whereas the importance of remaining VDR genotypes was not evident.

Authors: Dhita Resti Sandya , Amalia Rizki
Published: January 2024

In accordance with PANRB Ministerial Regulation Number 3 of 2020, National ASN Talent Management is an integral component of National Career Development Management, executed through transfers and/or promotions. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Social Service, housing a staff of 200 employees, reveals that approximately 18.5 percent, or 47 employees, have not undergone rotations in over 5 years. This study seeks to assess the application of civil servant career development policies via Talent Mobility within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Social Service. Employing a qualitative descriptive research method with an inductive approach, the research delves into the implementation of these policies by scrutinizing the factors connecting policy to performance. The findings indicate a reasonably effective implementation of the civil servant career development policy through Talent Mobility in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Social Service. However, certain aspects, such as standard factors and policy objectives, policy resources, inter-organizational communication and law enforcement activities, characteristics of implementing agencies, economic, social, and political conditions, and the disposition of implementers, warrant improvement. Recommendations stemming from the research are as follows: (1) Emphasize the need for commitment from all stakeholders in executing the talent mobility policy, (2) Prioritize the analysis of employee needs before recruitment processes to ensure a more accurate alignment with organizational requirements, (3) Initiate formal outreach programs dedicated to discussing talent mobility to deepen employee understanding and engagement, (4) Establish a structured training program aligned with employees' respective fields of work, backed by a designated budget for training initiatives, (5) Institute programs aimed at enhancing employee welfare comprehensively, and (6) Recognize the pivotal role, particularly that of leaders, in reshaping employee thought patterns to align with the objectives of Talent Mobility.
SAOL och svensk språkvetenskaplig infrastruktur – nu och i framtiden

Published: January 2024

Svenska Akademiens ordlista (SAOL 14, 2015 [1]) spelar en viktig roll inom svensk språkvetenskaplig infrastruktur, något som framkommer i denna artikel. Vidare presenteras preliminära resultat av en undersökning av hur frekventa uppslagsorden i SAOL egentligen är i olika delkorpusar med modern allmänspråklig svenska. För att ordlistan även fortsättningsvis ska kunna användas inom svensk ordforskning, vid språkstudier m.m., men också bli mer central inom språkteknologiska sammanhang, är det avgörande att SAOL:s uppslagsord vilar på vetenskaplig grund, moderna språkteknologiska metoder och uppdaterade korpusmaterial. Fokus i artikeln ligger på de uppslagsord som inte finns belagda i korpusmaterialet, och som därmed kan tänkas mönstras ut inför den kommande femtonde upplagan.
