The Ritual Calendar of South Aceh, Indonesia
Authors: Manan Abdul
Published: December 2017

This research explores the relations between the so-called normative Islam-as laid down in the canonical texts of the Qur’ān and hadīth-and the ways in which these normative ideas, perceptions and values are expressed in rituals in the society concerned. It pays particular attention to the ways in which the latter forms of ritual expression entail a culturally specific adaptation and valorization of the trans-cultural representations laid down in these Islamic text corpora and to the ways in which-according to local understanding and exegesis-these ritual actions generate a reproduction of the social relationships and their moral foundation in the society concerned. In-depth discussions had been conducted with the participants about the symbols, meanings and values, which they attach to these actions as to their effectiveness in achieving particular social, religious, political and moral aims besides a systematic survey of relevant published sources has complemented this field research. The meticulous examination of the village ritual calendar shows that three different perspectives on this social and moral order prevail: a traditional adat perspective, the historical Islamic perspective, and the modernist Islamic perspective. This attributes to Aneuk Jamee a complex dynamic socio-religious identity within the field of Indonesian cultures.

All typical products regulated the state could be reviewed and tested through legal actions (legal remedies) facilitated by the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This mechanism has known as a review action. In addition, the review on the legislation, related to authorization or the right to review it (toetsingsrecht or the right to review) could be consisted of judges and executives and also the legislatives. The authority of judicial review by the constitutional court is a judicial authority of the constitution. The authorization was a result of the third amendment to the Indonesian constitution of 1945. Regarding the developments of the implementation of the judicial authority by the constitutional court, there were increasing trend of judicial reviews year to year. Thus it indicates the number of regulations have problematic issue in term of of quality. Therefore, it is very urgent to critically evaluate the quality of the formulation of laws in order to avoid the cancellation of the law itself through a judicial authority possessed through the constitutional court.

Published: December 2017

This research aimed at studying the property of Euglena Sanguinea Ehrenberg (E. sanguinea) before and after being stimulated by multi-level electromagnetic fields (MLEM). After the stimulation, it was found that physical properties were changed, i.e., cell membrane and components deformed. Main biochemical compositions were changed in accordance with new electrochemical equation which was estimated from FTIR bands. Moreover, the estimated electrical results before and after being stimulated, i.e., impedance and complex relative permittivity of main biochemical compositions from extraction, were then measured, simulated, and compared by means of Cole-Cole plot technique which yielded the statistic correlation 0.89 at 95% confidence level. Semi-circle impedance was related to complex relative permittivity as its value decreased with the increasing frequency. These were the information for designing the new electrical equivalent circuit model of E. sanguinea with MLEM to explain many phenomena in cell. The relationship between energy from MLEM system and bond energy of main biochemical compositions of E. sanguinea as well as between electromagnetic field behaviors of MLEM system which stimulated to cell and induced voltage transmitted through each biochemical compositions of E. sanguine were also identified.
Measurment of bending properties of rhizophora tropical wood
Authors: Hamdan Sinin , Hasan Mahbub , Nohe Yoann
Published: December 2017

The Young’s modulus, load at the yield point and proportional limit stress from the compression bending (cb) test were compared with the four point bending tests (4pb). The theoretical Young’s modulus are larger than the real reading for 5mm and 10mm thick specimens, except for 200mm long specimens due to specimen nonlinearity. The experimental results for the short specimens are slightly high compared to the theory due to uniaxial compression in both tensile and compressive planes. Since the additional deflection produced by the shearing force and the stress concentration at the loading point was smaller with the compression bending test compared to the conventional four point bending test the values of Ecb are larger than E4pb. It is noted that when length/thickness (l/t)>80, the values of Ecb are scattered. In addition, Ecb decrease sharply when l/t<30. In order to obtain a stable Young’s modulus value, it is suggested that the l/t should be 30~80.

Quality has become one or the most important force leading to organizational success and company growth in national and international markets. The return-on-investment from strong and effective quality programs is providing excellent profitability results in firms with effective quality strategies. Due to the wide variation in quality results, the search for the genuine keys to success in quality has become a matter of deep concern to management of companies. This paper suggests a way to quantifying quality costs. As a result, the appropriate quality strategies can be adjusted and set to match with each company situation based on the categorization of the quality costs suggested. This outcome can, then, be used as a guideline for manufactures in setting their suitable quality program, which establishes the proper balance between the costs and customer services.
Understanding The Radicalism Movement In Indonesia: A Conflict Approach to the Rise of Terrorism
Authors: Shalihin Nurus
Published: December 2017

There is an ideology in every movement. Of course, that ideology that constructs the pattern of organizational movement. This phenomenon is an assumption in this paper, and will be broadly elaborated . In particularly; This study will describe the genealogy, reason, and patterns of salafism movement in Indonesia. The reason why this study seeks to understand the theme because the movement of salafism in Indonesia has emerged dramatically. It can be understood from the acts of terrorism that occurred. There are at least 4 acts of terrorism in 2000; 3 acts of terrorism in 2001; And 1 acts of terrorism in the 2000 Bali bombing which Is the most dramatic act of terrorism and the bombing action at J.W. Marriot hotel in 2003. These acts of terrorism are facts which suggest that the movement of salafism flourished in Indonesia. The data also encourages the study of why terrorism appears in Indonesia? What are the reasons? What is the root of the movement of salafism in Indonesia?

The questions above are the research questions. And it all comes from the research paradigm chosen in this study, which is the paradigm of conflict. Assuming that acts of terrorism can be understood as a conflict process. It is not a single process that is the complete reason why terrorism arises, especially in Indonesia. The perspective of Marxism is considered quite possible to explain the factors causing terrorist acts, and the growing of the network in Indonesia. Actually, by using the paradigm of conflict; Violence, and horror acts perpetrated by terrorist networks can be detected why such malicious acts occurred in Indonesia. To analyze the data, this study uses the interpretative. And it's a concern to analyze the conflict between salafism, and others. This process allows the conclusion that the causal factor is the difference in doctrine between terrorism and the others-state, and the notion of neo-liberalism.

Published: December 2017

Background : Decrease plasma High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) and increase triglyceride are major dyslipidemia in our country due to effects of carbohydrate rich diet. The relationship of low level of HDL –C in patient’s of AMI and its extents of severity in coronary artery disease will be very important for future management as well as prevention of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).Objective : The aim of this study is to assess the level of serum HDL-C in AMI patient and to assess whether low serum HDL-C level is an independent risk factor for acute ST elevation MI.Methods : It is a hospital based cross sectional observational study. 280 patients of acute STEMI who are admitted in coronary care unit selected for study. After estimation of serum lipid profile of these patients their serum level of HDL-C were used to detect the relationship between serum HDL-C and acute ST elevation MI. Results : In our study, among the case group (280 patiens) lipid profile estimation showed that about 64% patients of acute STEMI have low level of serum HDL-C. The other lipid fractions like triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol as well as total cholesterol were high in about 24%,39% & 44% but normal in 76%, 61% & 56% respectively.Conclusion : There is an independent inverse association of serum HDL-C in patients of acute STEMI and its an important indepedent risk factor.Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.16 (1); Jan 2017; Page 11-14

The objective of this present study was to compare the efficacy of three oxytocic regimens to prevent primary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) at caesarean section. A randomized controlled trial including 90 patients who underwent caesarean section were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria assigned randomly into three groups (30 patients in each group) was conducted. Group 1 and group 2 were exposure groups and group 3 was control group. All patients were given 10 units intravenous (IV) bolus oxytocin immediately after delivery of baby. Group 1 was given additional 20 units oxytocin in each 1000 ml fluid for 24 hours. Group 2 received additional 1000 microgram misoprostol per rectal. Group 3 did not receive any additional oxytocic drug. Background characteristics of all the three groups were similar. It was observed that 501-1000 ml blood loss was found among 25 (83.3%) cases in group 1, 27 (90.0%) in group 2 and 27 (90.0%) in group 3. The mean (SD) amount of blood loss was found 733 (190) ml in group 1792 (187) ml in group 2 and 818 (14) ml in group 3. Occurrence of PPH and blood transfusion needed among 1 (3.3%) in group 1, 2 (6.7%) in group 2 and 3 (10.0%) in group 3. Side effects occurred in 7 (23.3%) patients of group 1, 18 (60.0%) in group 2, and 6 (20.0%) in group 3. Shivering was found among 4 (13.3%) in group 1, 10 (33.3%) in group 2 and 3 (10%) in group 3. Vomiting was found among 2 (6.7%) in group 1, 4 (13.3%) in group 2, and 2 (6.7%) in group 3. Pyrexia was 1 (3.3%) in group 1, 4 (13.3%) in group 2 and 1 (3.3%) in group 3. Side effects were more in the group where misoprostol was used. Except side effects there was no statistical difference of occurrence of different events among the three groups. Only bolus IV oxytocin appears to be as effective as oxytocin infusion in addition to bolus IV oxytocin or per rectal misoprostol in addition to bolus IV oxytocin to prevent primary PPH at caesarean section. But occurrence of transient side effects such as shivering, pyrexia and vomiting were noted more frequently with the use of misoprostol.Mediscope Vol. 4, No. 2: Jul 2017, Page 5-11
Prevalence of gallstones and biliary sludge formation during pregnancy detected by ultrasonography

Published: December 2017

The risk of gallstones is thought to increase with number of pregnancies. Cholesterol gallstones are more prevalent in women than men and primarily related to sex steroids, particularly progesterone. During pregnancy there are changes in bile composition and gallbladder motility that promote gallstone formation. This study was conducted to determine incidence and outcome of pregnancy related biliary sludge and gallstone formation. Two hundred and nine consecutive expectant women were evaluated by ultrasonography at 1st trimester, 3rd trimester and at 4-6 weeks after delivery. Socio-demographic, medical and obstetrical history were taken and recorded. Incidence of gallstone and sludge formation were found 5.7% and 2.9%, respectively. The results suggest that pregnancy may be a risk factor for gallstone and biliary sludge formation.Mediscope Vol. 4, No. 2: Jul 2017, Page 21-24

Comparison of Extraction Efficiency of Aqueous and Methanolic Extracts from Plant Tissues and Callus Cultures of Calotropis procera and Calotropis gigantea
Authors: Rani Savita , Singh Gajendra , Sood Neelu
Published: December 2017

Extracts of plants may contain bioactive substances which could be used as natural antimicrobial agents against many microbes. Callus from the leaf material of Calotropis procera and C. gigantea was raised on different hormonal combinations and different extracts i.e. 50% methanolic, 90% methanolic and aqueous extracts of leaf and callus were prepared. The extraction efficiency of different extracts of plant tissue and callus was calculated and compared. Callus tissue is advantageous over plant tissues for extraction of phyto‐constituents for the basic reason that purification and isolation of active constituents are easier and also scale up strategies can be applied in vitro. Moisture content of tissue and the callus were analyzed and improved extraction efficiency was calculated after subtracting the moisture content.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 27(2): 171-180, 2017 (December)

Approximately 50% of cats admitted to Australian shelters are kittens, and 26% of dogs are puppies, and, particularly for cats, euthanasia rates are often high. Cats can be pregnant by 4 months of age, yet the traditional desexing age is 5–6 months, and studies in Australasia and Nth America reveal that only a minority of veterinarians routinely perform early age desexing (EAD) of cats or dogs, suggesting they are not graduating with these skills. This study aimed to describe the attitudes of veterinary teaching staff in Australian and New Zealand universities towards EAD, and to determine if these changed from 2008 to 2015. It also aimed to identify students’ practical exposure to EAD. Most (64%) of the 25 participants in 2015 did not advocate EAD in their teaching and, in their personal opinion, only 32% advocated it for cats. Concerns related to EAD cited by staff included anesthetic risk, orthopedic problems, hypoglycemia, and, in female dogs, urinary incontinence. Those who advocated EAD cited benefits of population control, ease of surgery and behavioral benefits. Only three of the eight universities provided a majority of students with an opportunity to gain exposure to EAD procedures before graduation, and in two of these, most students had an opportunity to perform EAD. In conclusion, most veterinary students in Australia and New Zealand are not graduating with the knowledge or skills to perform EAD, and have little opportunity while at university to gain practical exposure. Welfare agencies could partner with universities to enable students to experience EAD.

Regulators of DNA replication in bacteria are an attractive target for new antibiotics, as not only is replication essential for cell viability, but its underlying mechanisms also differ from those operating in eukaryotes. The genetic information of most bacteria is encoded on a single chromosome, but about 10% of species carry a split genome spanning multiple chromosomes. The best studied bacterium in this context is the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae, with a primary chromosome (Chr1) of 3 M bps, and a secondary one (Chr2) of about 1 M bps. Replication of Chr2 is under control of a unique mechanism, presenting a potential target in the development of V. cholerae-specific antibiotics. A common challenge in such endeavors is whether the effects of candidate chemicals can be focused on specific mechanisms, such as DNA replication. To test the specificity of antimicrobial substances independent of other features of the V. cholerae cell for the replication mechanism of the V. cholerae secondary chromosome, we establish the replication machinery in the heterologous E. coli system. We characterize an E. coli strain in which chromosomal replication is driven by the replication origin of V. cholerae Chr2. Surprisingly, the E. coli ori2 strain was not inhibited by vibrepin, previously found to inhibit ori2-based replication.
