Food self-sufficiency is a government program that is currently being actively promoted, so that Indonesia can be independent in providing food by the end of 2019. Indonesia besides being a maritime country is also an agricultural country with fertile land with 2 seasons, namely the rainy season and the dry season. In the rainy season food plants usually do not need to be watered because they have enough rain water. Whereas in the dry season the plants must be watered regularly in accordance with soil moisture conditions. Farmers usually do not grow food in the dry season for fear that it will not grow well and crop failure. Dependence of farmers with the season causes farmer production to decline and becomes an obstacle in the success of the food self-sufficiency program. To overcome the constraints of the dry season and so that farmers can still plant crops in the dry season, we need an information and communication technology-based agricultural tool product in the form of a programmed chip mircrocontroller so that it can control watering plants automatically based on soil moisture that is detected using domestic soil moisture sensors . This tool will detect whether the soil where the planting is dry so that the tool can control watering automatically when the soil lacks the element of water. So farmers do not need to do watering manually. So that plants can continue to flourish even though it is the dry season. In addition to helping farmers this tool can also be installed on plantations, seedbed nurseries, urban parks, hotels, offices, and in homes that have parks or plants that need regular watering.

The willingness of the Federal Government to fund waqf development in the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) has greatly influenced the awareness and efforts to transform the waqf institution in Malaysia. However, a drastic reform was introduced during the Tenth Malaysia Plan (10MP) in line with the government’s transformation efforts has resulted in the application process for the development allocation becomes more difficult to be granted. This has led the State Islamic Religious Councils (MAINs) to no longer apply the budget from the Federal Government. Under this circumstance, this study has established the objective of reviewing MAINs’ perceptions on changes in development provisions implemented by the government. The method used for the study is a combination of document analysis and face-to-face interviews. This study uses content analysis as a method of analysis. The findings show that MAINs has the difficulty to meet all the requirements of the application due to several reasons. Consequently, MAINs has no longer to rely on the Federal Government to get the waqf land development fund and has to explore other suitable financing methods for its development projects.

Authors: Embi Sabri , Shafii Zurina
Published: February 2020

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Shariah governance and corporate governance (CG) on the risk management practices (RMPs) of local Islamic banks and foreign Islamic banks operating in Malaysia. The Shariah governance comprises the Shariah review (SR) and Shariah audit (SA) variables. The study also evaluates the level of RMPs, CG, SR, and SA between these two type of banks. With the aid of SPSS version 20, the items for RMPs, CG, SR, and SA were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA). From the PCA, one component or factor was extracted each for the CG, SR, and RMPs while another two factors were extracted for the SA. Primary data was collected using a self-administered survey questionnaire. The questionnaire covers four aspects ; CG, SR, SA, and RMPs. The data received from the 300 usable questionnaires were subjected to correlation and regression analyses as well as an independent t-test. The result of correlation analysis shows that all the four variables have large positive correlations with each other indicating a strong and significant relationship between them. From the regression analysis undertaken, CG, SR, and SA together explained 52.3 percent of the RMPs and CG emerged as the most influential variable that impacts the RMPs. The independent t-test carried out shows that there were significant differences in the CG and SA between the local and foreign Islamic banks. However, there were no significant differences between the two types of the bank in relation to SR and RMPs. The study has contributed to the body of knowledge and is beneficial to academicians, industry players, regulators, and other stakeholders.

On the Margins of Citizenship: The Refugee Crisis and the Transformation of Identities in Europe
Authors: Petropoulou Athanasia
Published: February 2020

Drawing on the notion of the “right to have rights”, the study aims to explore how the European responses in the context of the current so called “refugee crisis”, based on strong inclusion-exclusion mechanisms, as well as the current shortcomings of the international human rights regime can be pertinent for analysing and capturing current transformations of the notion and foundations of European citizenship. It is further suggested that the institution of European citizenship in its current form needs to be superseded, in order to attain a truly cosmopolitan content and to provide a basis for a universalistic human rights regime. The main proposal presented in this direction, stresses the need to rethink human rights in terms of political practices and to “rediscover” the revolutionary heritage of human rights from an Arendtian perspective.
The Politics of Victimhood in Human Rights Violations: The Case of the Erased Residents of Slovenia
Authors: Gornik Barbara
Published: February 2020

During the process of gaining national independence the Slovenian government unlawfully erased 25,671 individuals, mainly citizens of other republics of the former Yugoslavia from the Slovenian Register of Permanent Residents. In 2012 the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Kurić and others vs. Republic of Slovenia held that there had been a violation of the 8th, 13th and 14th Articles of the European Convention on Human rights. Following this judgement the Slovenian government adopted a compensation scheme for the Erased introducing the criteria determining conditions for their redress. The article reflects on the political and legal construction of victimhood and reveals the notions of political loyalty, legal conformity and territorial attachment as one of the most decisive elements of victimhood. It shows that the subjectivity of victims in the case of the Erased is not defined within the human rights discourse but is grounded in nationalist terms.
Humanity and Human Rights: The Contours of International Law
Authors: Gayim Eyassu
Published: February 2020

Laws regulate conducts by responding to social and political requirements. This holds true for the law of nations as well. Contemporary international law follows two separate tracks when it comes to regulating human rights and humanitarian questions. If international human rights law and international humanitarian law are intended to protect the dignity and worth of human beings, as it is often said, why follow separate tracks? Does humanity really exist? If it does, how does it relate to human rights? If the two are distinct, where do they converge? This article highlights these questions by revisiting the contours of international law.
Protestant Origins of Human Rights Challenged
Authors: Jacobsen Mogens Chrom
Published: February 2020

This paper will challenge common views about Protestantism as the originator or foremost promoter of human rights. The idea of a Protestant origin is launched by Georg Jellinek and disputed by Emile Boutmy. The idea is still current and John Witte can thus claim that Protestantism was in part a human rights movement. The point of departure for this strain of thinking is religious toleration, which is seen as a particularly Protestant achievement. We will argue that a more precise notion of what 18th-century human rights were and a closer look at mainstream Protestant political philosophy will tell another story.

This research is an analytical description which positions singing as a tool and supporting material in a danceperformance. In order to limit the problem and focus in more detail on the study material, the sindenan forbedhaya Duradasih was chosen as the material object, specifically in the final performance by students fromthe Dance Department at Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Surakarta in 2018. The problem addressed is related tocooperation in the process of interpreting the sindenan for bedhaya Duradasih. In a vocal performance, themain tool for interpreting the material is of course the voice. The way in which the voice is produced is relatedto the technique or method used by each musician, in this case the pesinden (female singer) and penggerong(male singer), in interpreting the material. Therefore, cooperation refers to the way the material is treated in anattempt to realize a vocal performance that is rampak and rempeg. Accuracy in the way breathing is regulatedinfluences the sound of the voice because breathing is the basis of producing sound. Naturally, every person,and more specifically every pesinden and penggerong, has a different way of breathing. This leads to differencesin the way sound is produced in the process of interpreting the material to become a pragmatic reality.In addition, differences in habit for determining preferences in the vocal melody between the pesinden andpenggerong when performing their own roles also creates a problem when performing the sindenan for bedhayaDuradasih in unison. Therefore, in order to realize a vocal performance that is rampak and rempeg a solidprocess of interpretation is required. Every treatment, as a form of interpretation of the material, must beperformed with careful consideration. Departing from this problem, it is known that singing in a dance performance,in particular with the sindenan material for bedhaya Duradasih, involves flexible and open cooperation.The principle mad-sinamadan is a manifestation of the treatment of performance material, bearing in mind thedifferent breathing between the musicians. Mad-sinamadan is performed in an endeavour to realize a vocalperformance that is rampak and rempeg, using a breathing technique in which the singers snatch breathswhile they are singing the vocal melody. The purpose of this is to ensure the continuity and unity of the vocalmelody, because the sindenan for bedhaya Duradasih places more emphasis on the continuity and unity of themelodic line rather than the integrality of the vocal text. Therefore, it may be said that breathing techniqueplays an important role in a vocal performance.

Published: February 2020

This research is based on the writer’s interest in the application of wangsalan texts (cakepan), which are anelement of sindhenan, in a way that is appropriate (trep) to the performance of a gendhing. The appropriate(trep) application of wangsalan texts (cakepan) will support a better performance of the gendhing. The reasonfor this is that it was found, after a detailed study, that wangsalan and gendhing can be synchronized byapplying wangsalan texts (cakepan) in the correct and appropriate (trep) way. The method used for this researchis qualitative and the steps included a library study and observation. The library study was carried outby reading books and listening to cassettes. The observation included watching live performances of karawitanand also direct involvement in a number of performances. Several categories of wangsalan texts (cakepan) insindhenan were found that could be matched with particular gendhing. These were wangsalan that were concernedwith names of flowers, plants, the solar system, and natural phenomena (water, wind, fire, stone, etc.).These wangsalan texts (cakepan) in the sindhenan were applied to gendhing by matching the title and character(rasa) of the gendhing performed. It can be concluded, therefore, that there is a need for specific classificationof wangsalan texts (cakepan) to facilitate the application of these texts in the performance of gendhing.The researcher collected the wangsalan texts (cakepan) studied in this research from various oral and writtensources, and classified them according to the criteria determined by the researcher. Subsequently, thesetexts were matched or applied to gendhing in accordance with the title or character (rasa) of the gendhing.

Authors: Pramanik Dhiman , Ahmed Mesbah Uddin , Kabir Abm Luthful , Rashid Mohammad Harun Or , Haque Mohammad Anamul , Ali Md Asgar
Published: February 2020

Objectives: To determine whether chronic suppurative otitis media(CSOM) can cause Sensorineural hearing loss(SNHL) and to note its degree and its relation to duration of disease.
Methods: This was a cross sectional study which was carried out in the departments of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery of Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period of April’2012 to March’2013. A total number of 76 patients having unilateral CSOM were included in this study age ranging from 6 to 59 years after exclusion of other possible causes of SNHL such as meningitis, head injury, previous ear surgery and chronic noise exposure. The use of unilateral CSOM cases provided a contralateral ear to serve as a control. Bone conduction threshold elevation between diseased and control ear was considered as the indicator of inner ear damage.
Results: In this series, CSOM was seen to be associated with sensorineural hearing loss. Significant threshold elevation was observed in relation to disease duration. Here bone conduction measurement in all frequencies (500Hz,1000Hz,2000Hz and 4000Hz) in diseased and uninvolved contralateral side showed elevation of bone conduction in diseased side and this elevation was significantly higher (p<0.001). The average bone conduction loss at 4kHz was higher than the average at the speech frequency range.
Conclusion: This study suggests that CSOM can cause significant bone conduction threshold elevation and it should be considered when managing this problem. Early detection and prompt treatment may limit this potential handicap.

Nowadays, tuberculosis (TB) infection shows re-emergence again in many other part of the world due to HIV/AIDS- related disease, low socioeconomic as well as insurgence of multidrug resistance tuberculosis. TB is a disease which is primarily affects a lung. However it also can affect other organs as a secondary disease in a body via hematogenous or lymphatic spread. As in ENT field, TB also can manifest as a solely ear, nose or throat (ENT) diseasea such as in primary laryngeal tuberculosis (TB). In the past, laryngeal TB typically presented as a secondary disease with ulcerated laryngeal lesions in advanced pulmonary tuberculosis patient. In our case, we report a case of primary laryngeal tuberculosis masquerading as laryngeal malignancy in adult patient without pulmonary tuberculosis. In conclusion, in a patient who presented with various laryngeal symptoms, physician should be aware of the reemergence of laryngeal tuberculosis and the various manisfestation of the disease.

Published: February 2020

Lipomas are adipose mesenchymal neoplasms. The oral cavity is not commonly affected. representing about0.5% to 5% of all benign oral tumors. The clinical presentation is typically as an asymptomatic yellowish mass.The overlying epithelium is intact and superficial blood vessels are usually evident over the tumour. Although benign in nature their progressive growth may cause interference with speech and mastication due to tumour’s dimension. The present report shows the case of a 52-year old male who presented with a large intraoral lipoma with extension to the right submandibular region.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Thyroid surgery is a common modality of treatment for both benign and malignant thyroid disorders.Relationship between inferior thyroid artery (ITA) and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is crucial in preservation of recurrent laryngeal nerve. Thorough anatomical knowledge and meticulous surgery will ensure the integrity of recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to observe the anatomical position of recurrent laryngeal nerve in relation to inferior thyroid artery which will eventually lead to identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve peroperatively.
Methods: A cross sectional retrospective study was conducted during the time period of 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2015 in Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka among 200 patients who had undergone thyroidectomy.
Results: In this series on the right side 71.8% cases RLN was dorsal to ITA, 21.7% cases it was ventral and in 6.5% cases RLN runs in between the branches of ITA. In case of left side 74.5% cases RLN was dorsal to ITA, 22.5% cases it was ventral and in 3% cases RLN runs in between the branches of ITA. Conclusion: Usually RLN runs dorsal to ITA. In left side it is deeper and in case of right side it is more superficial. RLN may pass through the branches of ITA, but it is not very common.

Published: February 2020

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is one of the common diseases of the middle ear especially in developing countries. Early and effective treatment based on the knowledge of causative micro-organisms and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern ensures prompt clinical recovery and possible complications may be avoided.
Objectives: This study was done to determine the pattern of bacterial isolates and to detect their antibiogram.
Methods: A total of 103 patients clinically diagnosed of CSOM were enrolled in the study and the samples were obtained from each patient using sterile cotton swabs and cultured for bacterial isolates.
Antimicrobial susceptibility test of the isolates were performed using Kirby- Bauer disc diffusion method.
Results: Among the cases females were more affected than males. Out of the 103 cases, bacteriological investigation revealed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa 42 (44.68%) and Staphylococcus aureus 31(32.97%) were the predominant bacteria. Ciprofloxacin and Ceftazidime revealed high level of sensitivity whereas high resistance rates were observed for Amoxycillin, Gentamicin and Cephalexin.
Conclusion: The study concluded that an appropriate knowledge of the etiological agents and antibacterial susceptibility of microorganisms would contribute to a rational use of antibiotics, success of treatment and reduce the complications of CSOM.

Published: February 2020

Blunt laryngotracheal injuries are rare. The signs and symptoms of blunt laryngotracheal trauma are not always specific to the extent or type of injury. A high index of suspicion should exist in any injury that may be associated with airway trauma. We report a 30-years man who had progressive shortness of breath following blunt neck injury. He had massive emphysema whereby an emergency tracheostomy with multiple fasciotomy was performed. During emergency tracheostomy, it was noted that he had anterior cricotracheal separation which was communicated posteriorly by mucosa and trachealis muscle.

Myiasis in a the Tracheotomy Wound: A Case Report
Authors: Mahmud Sharfuddin , Islam Md Shaikhul , Rahman Md Siddiqur , Alam Md Rafiul , Rahman Md Asadur , Litu Manilal Aich
Published: February 2020

“Myiasis” is a parasitic infestation of live human or vertebrate animal tissues or cavities caused by dipterous larvae (maggots) which feed on the host’s dead or living tissue, liquid body substances or ingested food. The case is reported, probably the first in Bangladesh, tracheostomy myiasis. It was caused by infestation with larvae. The patient had undergone tracheostomy 3 years earlier and was a case of ca-larynx. The condition was treated by applying halothane to the tracheostomy wound, which caused spontaneous exit of approximately 30 larvae, easily removed with forceps. Predisposing factors could be: 1. Immuno-compromization due to post-irradiation state of patient; 2. Poor hygiene of tracheostomy tube; 3. Bad smell of wound, which attracts flies; 4. Living in a rural area deprived from necessary health care. Although this is not a lethal disorder, knowledge of the disease is necessary from the preventive, diagnostic and curative standpoint. It is important to proceed with identification of the larvae, distinguishing them from other types of myiasis involving different therapeutic implications.

Published: February 2020

Objective: In this study, the two methods of myringoplasty (underlay and over-underlay technique) were compared.
Methods: Total 100 patients of COM (inactive mucosal variety) were studied for 06 months duration from 1st Oct 2015 to 31st March 2016 in the Dept of ENT & Head Neck Surgery, CMH Dhaka. The diagnosed cases of COM patients were selected according to the eligibility criteria’s by purposive sampling. 100 patients were equally divided into two groups. Patients in group1 underwent underlay method and patients in group 2 underwent over-underlay technique of myringoplasty. Patients were followed up for 6 months.
Results: Graft uptake and hearing improvement was compared in both groups. In group 1 (underlay myringoplasty) graft taken rate was 92% and graft failure rate was 8%. In group 2 (Over-underlay myringoplasty) graft taken rate was 94% and failure rate was 6%. Graft uptake was 2% lower in the group1 than group 2 .The gain in hearing threshold (gain in A-B gap) in the group 1 (underlay myringoplasty) was (23.74 dB ± 3.97) and in group 2 )over-underlay myringoplasty) was (23.64 dB ± 4.03)
Conclusion: The present study emphasizes the fact that there is no significant difference in short term results between the two techniques (underlay and over-underlay).
