Authors: Al-Mujaini Abdullah , Wali Upender , Al Khabori Mazin
Published: January 2022

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a highly sophisticated type of surgery, which has revolutionized the surgical management of chronic sinus diseases. In the ophthalmic field, FESS plays a crucial role in the management of a few conditions, but not without risks. Ophthalmic complications associated with FESS are well documented. They mainly occur due to the shared common anatomic areas between ophthalmology and otolaryngology. Ophthalmic complications can vary in severity from very trivial cases such as localized hematoma collection, which is not very problematic to very devastating cases, such as optic nerve damage, which can lead to complete blindness. In order to minimize such complications, safety measures need to be considered prio to the surgery, these include; precise knowledge of detailed anatomy, the operating surgeon’s ability to interpret precisely the para nasal sinus CT scan and experienced procedural surgical skills.

Soluble α-Klotho as a potential predictor of all-cause mortality in Chinese maintenance hemodialysis patients
Authors: Liu Junping , Shi Dongping , Song Xiaohui , Ji Yahong
Published: January 2022

Introduction

This study aimed to clarify the potential association of serum soluble α-klotho levels with all-cause mortality in Chinese patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

Material and methods

The present study is a single -center prospective cohort study. It comprised 134 MHD patients which were divided into two groups according to the median level of serum α -klotho: 68 patients representing the low soluble α-klotho group (< 1.15 ng/ml and equivalent to 1.15 ng/ml) and 66 patients representing the high soluble α -klotho group (>1.15 ng/ml). These patients were followed up for 36 months. The three-year all-cause mortality rate, overall survival (OS) and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality were observed. The potential risk factors of all-cause mortality in MHD patients were investigated by Cox regression models.

Results

The 3-year all-cause mortality rates in low soluble α-klotho group were significantly higher than those in high soluble α-klotho group (33.82% vs. 16.67%, P=0.039). The difference of the 3-year cardio-cerebrovascular mortality rates between the two groups was non-significant (26.47% vs. 15.15%, P=0.107). The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the differences in the rates of OS and cardio-cerebrovascular death free survival between the two groups were significantly different (all P<0.05). The Cox regression analyses revealed that low soluble α-klotho level was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in MHD patients after adjusting for potential confounding factors.

Conclusions

Low serum soluble α-klotho levels was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality in Chinese MHD patients.

Supramolecular Polymerization: Personal History and Outlook Towards a Sustainable Future
Authors: Aida Takuzo , Morishita Kiyoshi
Published: January 2022

2020 was a very special year for polymer science as the 100-year anniversary of its initiation by Staudinger. The past 100 years have been a prosperous time for polymer science, filled with discovery and innovation. Since plastics are lightweight, mechanically robust, and cheap, their use has proliferated, becoming pervasive in all sectors of society and ushering in the so-called heyday of plastics. At the same time, however, the plastics and rubbers developed by polymer science have caused catastrophic damage to the environment as long-lasting wastes continue to accumulate in the disposable age. Incinerating these materials generates carbon dioxide, which accelerates global warming while dumping them into the ocean results in their eventual disintegration into microplastics, small pieces that are consumed and accumulate in the food chain. As of 2015, only 9% of the 6300 million metric tons of plastics produced had been recycled,1 and unless far-reaching policies are adopted in the next decade to change the social structure that has so far been dependent on disposable polymers, global warming will continue to accelerate and it will certainly be difficult to pass on livable earth to future generations. Although this crisis is widely acknowledged, society has thus far been unable to give up such convenient and cheap materials. If we fail to shift our economic priorities or invent new materials as alternatives, it will be impossible to escape from this plastic world.

In particular, the discovery of isolable carbenes, which are now widely used as indispensable ligands in coordination chemistry and synthetic organic chemistry, has enabled the development of novel highly active catalysts.
Nanoporous Chemical Plants: MOFs as Polymer Manufacturers
Authors: Uemura Takashi , Beamsley Keat
Published: January 2022

Our technology-driven society continues to advance, and with it the demand for various high-function plastics also advances, calling for precision-engineered polymers with few defects in their structures even at the molecular level. People’s lives have come to strongly rely upon these plastics, but in recent decades have we also come to recognize their negative aspects in the form of the environmental and resource crises. It is against this backdrop that a new method of efficient and precise control over polymer structure has been developed - the use of porous materials called ‘MOFs’ as nano-sized ‘factories’. With this new technology, desired polymers can be supplied and utilized effectively, and we envision a future where they may also be reclaimed post-use then re-circulated.
Reactivity prediction through quantum chemical calculations
Authors: Maeda Satoshi , Harabuchi Yu , Hasegawa Taisuke , Suzuki Kimichi , Mita Tsuyoshi
Published: January 2022

The main challenge in chemistry is understanding and controlling the movement of atoms, which play a leading role in chemical reactions. In principle, one could predict the movement of atoms by solving the Schrödinger equation, however, which for many-particle systems is too complicated to solve with high accuracy. Thanks to advances in quantum chemical calculation methods, the Schrödinger equation for the motion of electrons is solvable with reasonable accuracy under various approximations.1 Among the approximation algorithms, the density functional theory (DFT) based on the Kohn-Sham equation is routinely used in calculations of the potential energy surface (PES) for a system of several hundred atoms.
Two-Electrode Solar Water Splitting Permitting H2 Separation at a Dark Cathode
Authors: Sakai Ken , Ozawa Hironobu
Published: January 2022

We want to develop an artificial photosynthetic water splitting device enabling the separate evolution of H2 and O2 in two different aqueous phases. This approach avoids the evolution of a potentially explosive H2/O2 gas mixture together with the development of a gas separation facility required to capture H2 from the mixture. We are thus attempting to develop a two-electrode system for solar-light water splitting with the anode only subjected for photo-driven water oxidation to uptake electrons and protons, as nature does. Our target device converts the electrons transferred to the cathode directly to H2 without light illumination, as is the case for the Calvin cycle where CO2 is converted into glucose as a dark reaction. An outstanding feature also lies in the high specific surface areas of both electrodes due to the mesoporous nature of the TiO2 films adopted as the electrode materials.
Science Diplomacy: where chemistry is crucial
Authors: Webb John M , Spurling Thomas H , Simpson Gregory W
Published: January 2022

The interactions between the worlds of science and of diplomacy have increased in scope and significance over recent decades, leading to a focus on understanding the emerging field of science diplomacy1-4. Just over ten years ago, the United Kingdom’s Royal Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science met to clarify what is meant by this term, science diplomacy, and to stimulate further study and analysis. They proposed a schema identifying three aspects of science diplomacy. Despite being criticised by scholars in Europe through the recent European Union project on science diplomacy4, the taxonomy proposed by the Royal Society and AAAS is widely used. The three aspects are science in diplomacy, science for diplomacy, and diplomacy for science. This classification into three separate types of science diplomacy is inevitably imperfect since many activities in science diplomacy are complex and stretch across these three classifications.
The Legal Regulation of Spam: An International Comparative Study
Authors: Aranda Serna Francisco José
Published: February 2022

Spam is the massive sending of messages over the Internet. This activity is carried out mainly for commercial and marketing purposes and causes a series of harm and conflicts of great relevance in the digital world. It is the responsibility of the Law to regulate this activity and protect the rights of the citizens. The objective of this article is to study this phenomenon, starting from its origin, establishing a clear definition, pointing out the most relevant types that have the greatest impact, and addressing the legal problems that derive from it. Through the analysis of documentary sources such as scientific articles, legislation, and practical guides related to spam, the different aspects of the legal systems of the most relevant countries have been reviewed to evaluate a single legal model that would allow facing the problem. Accordingly, a series of proposals and recommendations can be extracted to aim at a legal harmonization that is more adequate and more effective for the regulation of spam, as well as to point out the legal aspects at the international level that need to be improved.
Disaster Series: The Abrupt NICU Evacuation – Disasters without a Plan
Authors: van Stralen Daved , D. McKay Sean , A.Mercer Thomas
Published: January 2022

An abrupt disaster brings the environment physically into the NICU. We describe immediate evacuation measures taken because of a ruptured water pipe, hospital fire, unexploded WWII bomb, and two earthquakes. These abrupt changes thrust the Neonatologist into an environment with new structures, rules, and threats. The intruding environment dictates actions at first as the Neonatologist addresses safety for the neonates and staff while continuing medical care for the infants. The environment has just become the pathology, a new comorbidity. Operations during abrupt change mean the Neonatologist must hand off direct minute-to-minute care for the neonates, trust staff, then begin the more demanding work of figuring out next and future steps. Personal stress and fear responses must be modulated while supporting staff during the uncertainty. While these events at first appear disparate, they share the common problem of rapid movement of neonates to safety, ensuring the safety of infants and staff while solving problems embedded in a threatening environment. Faced with an abrupt environmental threat, we must maintain awareness that disaster and medical professionals will not appreciate the unique responses of the neonate to the raw environment. We must accept and rely on our colleagues' strength, fortitude, and creativity in the NICU to resolve problems embedded in the environment.

Authors: Salzmann Chloe , Maizels Max , S. Blum Emily , A. Smith Edwin , Fliman Paola , Goetz Elizabeth , A. Farhat Walid
Published: January 2022

Objectives: Neonatal circumcision is a common practice. We believe that adverse neonatal circumcision outcomes (ANCOs) may occur owing to a lack of standardized knowledge of circumcision. The goal of this study was to determine if a single tool could provide multiple specialties with increased knowledge of neonatal circumcision.

Methods: The authors used insight from multidisciplinary circumcision providers to build the educational model. It was made available online, and a user survey assessed its usefulness. Knowledge of pediatricians in a teaching hospital was assessed before and after using www.neocirc.org, and the scores were compared using a paired t-test.

Results: www.neocirc.org was found to be 95% useful by multidisciplinary users. Pediatricians significantly increased knowledge after using www.neocirc.org from intake correct answers (18/30, 60%) to exit (23/30, 77%), respectively (p<0.0001).

Conclusion: www.neocirc.org provides a tool to increase pediatrician knowledge about neonatal circumcision. Future research is indicated to assess if the use of www.neocirc.org may reduce the incidence of ANCOs.

This paper describes the origin of the Sasak-Lombok tribe's tradition of pulling which is based on oral folklore. The roots of this tradition can be traced back to the history of the 17th century Lombok-Bali meeting. In general, there are four views about the roots of the formation of the Sasak tribe tradition of drawing. The four views are First, pulling is a traditional Sasak norm; The second merarik is a resistance to the shackles of the triwangsa social strata; The third merarik is the release of Sasak women from the kidnapping of Balinese Buleleng soldiers; The fourth line is the acculturation of Balinese culture.

Lombok is known as the island of a thousand mosques, although its geographical location is small, Lombok has its own specialties, its people always like to compete for charity through the construction of mosques. However, the mosque should be improved by prospering the mosque, some mosques are still not managed professionally so that the attention of the mosque is more organized. the principles of idaroh in the management of mosques start from (planning, organizing, implementing and controlling). On the one hand, the takmir of the mosque must pay attention to how to build understanding and awareness of giving, not burdening and not being burdened, paying attention to local wisdom, opening up space for creativity and participation, distribution of tasks and authority, encouraging, maintaining the feelings of the congregation, and transparency of mosque finances if this is done well. and true then the prosperity of the mosque can be realized. The economic empowerment of the people, is the main priority of the mosque management to pay attention to the congregation so that they are free from the snares of poverty and destitution, as explained in the Qur'an.
HOUSE OF WORSHIP AND RELIGIOUS IDENTITY:
Authors: Krisdiana Putri
Published: January 2022

The house of worship is one of the sacred places in the religious community. In addition, the house of worship is also one of the important icons in a religion. In the context of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad once ordered to destroy houses of worship. This is certainly contradictory to the house of worship as a sacred and iconic place. This paper discusses further about the traditions of the destruction of the house of worship. In addition, this paper also contextualizes the universal values ​​of the hadith with the context of religion in Indonesia. The double movement theory initiated by Fazlur Rahman which was further developed by Abdullah Saeed becomes a point of view in analyzing this reality. If we go back to past history, the order to destroy houses of worship at the time of the Prophet was caused by the existence of mosques that did not benefit the Muslim community. On the contrary, the mosque was used to spy on the Muslim community at that time. If you look at the context, then the destruction of mosques in Indonesia by using the hadith as a justification is certainly not appropriate because the context is different.

The Qur'an with the basic assumption as the idea of ​​God that is eternal, universal, and trans-historical, when it has to be communicated to humans who live historically, then the basic content of the Qur'an must of course adapt to the character of the Arabic language and culture that was a historical reality at the time. The research departs from the many developments of methods and approaches that are so diverse in the interpretation of the Qur'an, so that it often causes debate among commentators. This study is basically an attempt to find out how maqa>shid al-Shari>'ah hermeneutics is a method in the interpretation of the Qur'an and how to apply maqa>shid al-Shari>'ah in the interpretation of the Qur'an. . This study aims to answer these two problems. The nature of this research is qualitative and uses the hermeneutical-analytic method, namely by analyzing the data in the hermeneutic circle and then drawing various conclusions. The data obtained will be analyzed in accordance with scientific theories with the provisions in the analysis guidelines and in accordance with the rules of writing scientific papers. The results show that the maqa>shid al-Shari>'ah hermeneutic method in interpretation cannot ignore three important horizons in hermeneutics, namely text, author, and reader.

Published: January 2022

The tradition of writing manuscripts began during the development of Islam that occurred in various regions of the archipelago since 5 centuries ago. The distribution of this manuscript writing occurred evenly throughout the archipelago, from Aceh, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Java, Maluku, to Bali and Lombok. The study of the Qur'an manuscript in one area in Bali uses a philological approach. Philology is a scientific discipline that examines handwritten manuscripts or manuscripts (manuscripts), both their physical existence and their contents that provide various information about the culture of a society that made them according to their era. The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of the Qur'anic manuscripts and aspects of the Qur'anic manuscripts at the Jami' Singaraja Mosque. With a qualitative research method of philological and codicological approaches that examines seven manuscripts, it is concluded that there are various variations in the shape and condition of the manuscripts, the type of paper used, the thickness of the manuscripts, calligraphy/khat, illumination and so on related to the manuscripts being studied. Of the seven manuscripts of the Qur'an, some are equipped with prayers, both prayers found at the beginning of Surah at-Taubah, or prayers for completing the Qur'an. However, in this prayer category, not all of them are in the mushaf. The prayer writings at the beginning of Surah at-Taubah are only manuscripts A, manuscripts D, and manuscripts G. While the prayer for completing the Qur'an is only found in manuscripts C and manuscripts F. In addition, there are several aspects found, namely aspects of Rasm, Aspects of Waqf, Aspects of Tajweed, and Aspects of the division of texts (Hizb). First, in terms of the use of rasm, almost all of the manuscripts use rasm imla'i, it's just that there are some words in these manuscripts which are generally written in the Ottoman rasm, for example the word az-zaka>ta, all the manuscripts use the Ottoman rasm. In terms of the use of waqf punctuation marks, it only shows some signs, as stated in manuscripts A and B, which only contain mutlaq and jaiz waqaf marks for manuscript A and the addition of waqaf tam for manuscript B. As for the end sign of a verse using a circle that varies. In terms of text distribution, it includes juz', rubu', nis}f, s^mumun, and maqra'

Urgensi pendidikan Islam dalam membentuk karakter siswa di era revolusi industri 4.0
Authors: Lisnawati Lisnawati
Published: January 2022

Artikel ini membahas tentang bagaimana pergeseran peran guru dan bagaimana pendikan Islam membentuk karakter peserta didik di tengah arus revolusi industri 4.0. Adanya pergeseran peran guru yang sebelumnya teacher centered kemudian menjadi fasilitator menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan paradigma orientasi pembelajaran menjadi student centered. Proses intraksi guru dan murid dalam membentuk karakter siswa tidak maksimal sebagaimana dalam posisi teacher centered, bisa jadi karena para guru tidak lagi leluasa atau punya ruang yang lebih. Karena itu, pergeseran ini berimplikasi pada terciptanya krisiskarakter siswa. Krisis karakter siswa belakangan ini menjadi problem serius yang rame diperbincangkan dan dihadapi oleh dunia pendidikan. Bisa jadi karena eksistensi pendidikan Agama Islam yang kental dengan pendekatan tradisional (teacher orinteded) tidak lagi dianggap solutif dalam paradigma baru student oriented untuk membentuk karakter siswa yang religius. Padahal hasil research menjelaskan bahwa keberhasilan dalam membentuk karakter siswa melalui pendidikan agama Islam selama ini diciptakan melalui berbagai kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Kerena itu, kemampuan guru dalam menyisipkan nilai-nilai karakterdalam proses pembelajaran, baik dalam kegiatan intra-kurikuler maupun ekstrakurikuler merupakan sebuah solusi sekaligus penegasan bahwa pendidkan agama Islam merupakan salah satu cara dalam membangun karakter siswa yang religius.

A incidência da doença renal crônica vem aumentando a cada ano, é necessária uma atenção especial por parte do governo para que essa doença seja prevenida e tratada de maneira adequada por quem já estar com a doença. Os indivíduos com insuficiência renal crônica são considerados um grupo especial que necessita de um acompanhamento diferenciado quando se submetem a realização de exercícios físicos. A doença renal crônica não provoca apenas problemas físicos mais também problemas psicológicos relacionado a medicação e a rotina de tratamento que não é muito estimulante. O objetivo deste estudo é salientar a importância do exercício Físico para esta população. De acordo com os estudos abordados neste trabalho, o exercício demostrou ser um aliado tanto na melhora da mobilidade e do condicionamento físico quanto na melhora da autoestima dos pacientes submetidos ao tratamento de hemodiálise.
Plenary lecture: statistics capacity building in a developing country – experiences, opportunities and challenges
Authors:   University of Natal, North Delia

Statistics Capacity Building has traditionally been associated with building capacity in Official Statistics, i.e. the capability to collect, analyze and disseminate high quality data in a timely manner and analysing the data for effective functioning of government, the economy and society. Statistical Capacity Building in the 21st century encompasses the capability to deliver relevant statistics training for the needs in ALL areas of official statistics, as well as public and private sectors, academia, and research centres. This calls for education systems to deliver effective and updated statistics training across the spectrum, from basic data literacy to high level straining in the statistical sciences. Challenges faced when building statistics capacity across the spectrum are well documented, however in developing countries, these challenges are similar, but often on a larger scale and more critical.  The author will give an overview of lessons learnt and experiences in sta- tistics capacity building initiatives in a developing country, at all levels in South Africa (school to PhD), over a period of more than 25 years.
Plenary lecture: the teaching of statistics in morocco l’enseignement de la statistique au maroc

Discussing higher education in Morocco, particularly about statistics, the talk reflects on the following points: • Interest of statistics   • Place of statistics in education programs in Morocco   • Difficulties in teaching statistics   • Teachers of statistics and teaching methods   • Suggestions for further increasing the penetration of statistics into curricula Various reforms of Moroccan education have consistently placed more emphasis on the teaching of statistics. This teaching is currently being introduced in most of the training streams, such as economics, management sciences, and agronomic sciences. Despite this positive development, there are a number of shortcomings in the teaching of statistics. There is an absence of statistical reasoning in students: the ability to analyze and interpret the results of calculations. Statistics courses are taught by teachers who have often been forced to teach it, usually mathematics teachers, who on the whole have a formal approach to statistics. The mathematician takes the place of the statistician, without considering more applied questions.   In order to encourage better statistical understanding, we suggest the presence of experienced statisticians in any university or scientific research institution, in association if necessary; training seminars (Study visits, refresher courses, thematic networking of statisticians, etc.) in countries with more statistics education capacity; local training for researchers; participation in regional seminars; creation of courses of study more oriented towards statistical processing and data processing; and drafting and dissemination of guides to good statistical practice in experimentation, sampling and publication of results.

Law number 33 year 2004 on financial balance is further explained by Presidential decision that regional allocation fund is based on a fixed amount. If particular regions receive more than they deserve, other regions receive less than they expect. Allocated fund is weighted among others by index of physical construction cost (IKK). The author and co-authors propose a way for IKK be closer to reality. Selected components of physical construction in IKK is applied to all regions. It turns out that regions considered as rich may be in different physical cost structure from not so rich regions. Further for certain few important components cost may be subject to regional wealth comparison. We found at least one natural component in western region and one manufactured component in eastern region for possible revision. Current regional computerized raw data entry is standardized by single national custom-made application software. Cut off point for entry acceptance is applied to all regions which sometimes violates regional specific characteristics. Once raw data is rejected, it is difficult to trace back the real raw data which may be closer to the truth. Therefore we rely on spatial contiguity to recover unentered rejected raw data. Theory of composite index suggest that a figure is not only produced for publication but also for analytical soundness. That is introducing another unfamiliar step for most regional employee and regional official. Since raw data is always available in head office, it is a feasible practice to evaluate regional raw data prior to aggregation in head office beyond most regional insight.
Developing data competence in primary school

Published: January 2022

In the present Data Science era, competent data handling is inevitably and important to become a responsible citizen. Therefore the development of data competence should be realized as early as possible in the curriculum. Our main idea is to introduce primary school students into real statistical projects and to experience the phases, problem, plan, data, analysis and conclusions of the PPDAC cycle on their own. Especially comparing groups, an important activity in statistics, takes into account the application of many fundamental statistical ideas like distribution, representation or variability and even at primary school level students can be engaged in such activities by offering pre- stages for formal comparison concepts like center and spread.

Very different from other countries with only one language, Indonesia has more than three hundred local languages having more than seven hundred dialects. Currently all descriptions census and survey variables in questionnaire, data entry program, metadata, and interviewer guide book are available only in single national language. An interviewer may not be able to accurately translate variable descriptions from single national language to local languages and further to a particular dialect. This condition leads to misinterpretation and low accuracy in collected variables. We propose consolidation among local languages to produce official statistics variables at National Statistics College in the context of statistical education. Consolidation will produce multilingual official statistics equipment mentioned above. Every year there are several hundred new students at National Statistics College from almost every leading local language. These are untapped resources and are ready for this purpose. Data accuracy may be improved with multilingual descriptions variable. It will encourage a lot of information about a variable as much as local language but it will make data more accurate. There will be no biased variable because it has been explained in the local language. Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) provides structured approach to arrive at more accurate data. A personal computer owned by every student offers far more ease and flexibility for review, validate, edit GSBPM sub-process during education. The academic campus has long standardized software to help for this purpose.
