Authors: Ramdhan Muhammad , Prihantono Joko , Yulius Yulius , Husrin Semeidi , Gemilang Wisnu
Published: January 2022

As a small island and tourist destination, Karimunjawa island needs freshwater to support the tourist activity, particularly to supply drinking water. Unfortunately, freshwater on a small island is obtained from groundwater which is very limited and vulnerable to climate change and anthropogenic activities. Therefore, a groundwater quality assessment in Karimunjawa island is necessary to be conducted to provide an up to date information on the groundwater. Furthermore, assessment of groundwater feasibility for drinking, and the pollutant source determination is important to be conducted. The groundwater quality assessment method was conducted in the Karimunjawa sub-district capital by collecting groundwater samples from 12 dug wells, and two samples from the swamp area to find out its impact on the adjacent groundwater.  Afterward, all water samples were analyzed in the Water Quality Laboratory of Bandung Institute of Technology to obtain the value of Nutrient ( NO3-, NO2-, NH3-N); Heavy Metals (Cu, Fe, and Pb); and Salt (TDS, Cl-, Na+). Then, these obtained parameters were compared with the quality standard of the minister of health regulation of the Republic of Indonesia about water quality standards for drinking water. The result shows that generally nutrient contaminant in the groundwater is low, but some groundwater in residences area was contaminated by ammonia with the range value is 1,706 – 9,564 mg/l. Wastewater from residences that seepage into the groundwater is suspected as the source of the ammonia contamination. The heavy metal in the groundwater was undetected, but almost all samples were contaminated by salt which is indicated by a high value of TDS (500-5,580 mg/l). These salt contaminations are caused by seawater intrusion. Therefore, the groundwater in the Karimunjawa sub-district capital experienced quality degradation and it is not feasible to be consumed as drinking water. Good groundwater management, good waste management, and freshwater reservoir construction is expected to improve groundwater quality and freshwater supply in Karimunjawa Island.

Published: January 2022

The present study investigated the new green spaces modelling in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah using GIS application. It adopted the mental health theory as a theoretical framework. The data of the study was collected through two data collection instruments, namely, questionnaire as well as interview. The quantitative data was analysed through SPSS software while the qualitative data collected from the interviews was qualitatively analysed using thematic content analysis. The findings of the study revealed the most suitable model for potential new green spaces using GIS analysis (descriptive summaries) for urban planning in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah is Quba (25.5%). Moreover, the most prominent challenge facing the design of a new green space in Al-Medinah Al-Munawarah, Saudi Arabia, is the weakness of the budget allocated to designing green spaces (86.7%). It is also shown that the most prominent benefits of designing new green spaces for the residents of Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah are the provision of seats and seating areas. Therefore, the participants stress the importance of taking into account the provision of seats and seating places when designing green spaces (93.3%). In terms of the potential of developing urban green spaces in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, the majority of the respondents believe that urban green spaces can be developed, to a large degree, in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah in the future. Therefore, the study recommends that urban green spaces should be developed in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah and the budget allocated to designing green spaces in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah should be also increased. This study could be considered as a guideline for future development that can be used by government in Saudi Arabia.
The Risk of Non-Communicable Diseases after being Exposed to the Urban Flood; A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Nurhasana Renny , Hartono Risky Kusuma
Published: January 2022

Background: Risk mapping for the various types of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which lead to the cause of death due to the impact of the urban flood, is rarely conducted. The study aimed to conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and meta-analysis of the risk of various NCDs after the community experienced the urban flood disaster. Methods: The data was taken from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Taylor and Francis, and ProQuest from June 2010 to June 2020 by searching for the words of flood and NCDs that only occurred in urban areas. This study refers to the guideline that is widely used to conduct meta-analysis research, namely PRISMA. The procedure was started by searching, screening, and validating the original articles through meta-analysis using R Studio. Result: Twenty-six original articles were selected for SLR, and only two articles were not eligible for meta-analysis. Mental illness (0.53, 95% CI, 0.33-0.68), heart problems (0.39, 95% CI -0.11-0.73), and respiratory problems (0.53, 95% CI, 0.02-0.82) are the NCDs categories occurring after the community, predominantly female and the community aged >40 years, was exposed to the urban flood. This risk magnitude finding complements the previous studies that only did a literature review. The heterogeneous result (tau^2 p-value>0.05) and bias effects of publication (Egger test p-value>0.05) indicated that immediate assistance for victims is essential to prevent the onset of NCDs. Conclusion: Without early prevention and urban planning, the urban flood disaster can contribute to mental illness, heart problems, and respiratory problems.

The fact that differences are commonly considered a threat in Modernistphilosophy has led particularity space becoming increasingly negated. In an Indonesian context,multiculturalism has a long historical basis, one tied inexorably with the nation’s nature as an absoluteconstructed from plural complexity. Hence, multiculturalism should be involved in every cultural activity,at any time and in any context, including the Fine Arts. Within this discipline, multiculturalism hasbeen the main concern, considering that the Fine Arts deal with creativity and aesthetic terminologieswhich cannot be separated from the discussion of differences. What then becomes the main concern is thefact that this multicultural aspect has unconsciously become a quo-vadis reality in other cultural mainstreams.

TREN PEMIKIRAN INTELEKTUAL MUSLIM KONTEMPORER DI TIMUR TENGAH PASCA-DIFITISME 1967
Authors: Yoyo Yoyo
Published: January 2022

This article is an effort to make a clear map on contemporary Muslim intellectuals in the Middle East after the Arab defeat in 1967. The Six-Day War took place in June 1967 was a disaster for the Arab world. It ended the ideology of Pan-Arab nationalism and encouraged the rise of four compating self-criticism ideologies: Marxism, Liberalism, Fundamentalism and Nationalism. The four ideologies have their own particular responses and solutions to the Arab crisis. The result of this research shows that Islamic fundamentalism is still the strongest ideology compared to the secular ideologies. The Arab Spring in 2011 proved the fact and paved a way for the Islmists to become dominant in the political arena, as recently shown in Egypt. The other Islamist militant groups, such as Jama’ah Islamiyyah are now more free to promote the implementation of Islamic syari’ah.

Potentially, both inclusivism and exclusivism can emerge from Islam itself. To an extreme point, inclusive point of view underline the importance to apprecieate religious pluralism and to avoid truth claims. To the other extreme, exlusive point of view suspect and even reject pluralism and upholds truth claims. Islam may be presented by the two extremes, and it is not only because of defferent emphasis in reading the holy texts, but also because of defferent methodologies of interpretation being employed. This paper discusses different methodologi of interpretation that determinate significantly the meaning of dīn, millah and syarī’ah and how they are related. The one that uses the relation of synonymy avoid ta’ārud al-adillah reading (the dispute among axioms) so leads to inclusive comprehension. The other using the relation of hyponymy between din and syarī’ah leads to ta’arud reading, uses of nasikh wa al-mansūkh method (abrogation), and so leads to exclusive comprehension.

PEREMPUAN DAN NEGARA: KAJIAN FEMINIS DALAM KONTEKS SOSIAL “BH” KARYA AGUS NOOR
Authors: Woodrich Chris
Published: January 2022

The struggle of the oppressed to obtain their rights is never complete. There is always someone who ismarginalized. In his short story “BH” Agus Noor presents a young woman who is ultimately killed by her bra, a garment which had repeatedly groped her breasts previously. At the surface this unrealistic story appears to be a simple critique against the repression of women. However, when placed against the socio-political backdrop in which it was written, namely that of the repressive New Order government under President Suharto, it is readily apparent that the oppression of women is used as a symbol of the general oppression and censorship in New Order Indonesia. In the New Order, as presented by Agus Noor, the aged (and thus empowered) forces used a familial form of “anakisme” to subjugate the general populace and thus ensure that the general populace cannot ef􀃀ciently overturn the power structure. This reading reminds us that women’s struggle for recognition and equality cannot be divorced from the struggles of other oppressed classes, which must 􀃀ght for their rights and often collaborate for a greater effect.

“Si beau ma queen”: The Speech Construction of Queer Identity Perception in French Social Media
Authors: Firmonasari Aprillia
Published: January 2022

Queer as a gender identity draws varying responses globally. In French the representation of Queer in various social media has raised a number of public’s perceptions, both in positive and negative manners. This perception does not only concern about French linguistic issues, but also its socio-cultural issues. This study puts an emphasis on the widely-used speech patterns showing the public perception on both French queer and immigrant queers posted on French social media. Further, it also examines the socio-cultural context that influences the social contact and relation between the public and the phenomenon of Queer as a subject in social media. This study uses interactionist approach and gender-based critical discourse analysis based on the theory of interpersonal contact between groups proposed by Gordon Allport. In explaining the phenomenon, the researcher employs qualitative content analysis and uses criticial discourse analysis and gender-based criticism. The data are collected from both French and immigrant queers’ posts on social media in 2020. The results show that French queers are perceived to have equal standing position with other French people as they are considered as a part of French society. The result also shows that unlike French queer, the immigrant-descent queer are considered to have inequal position with French society due to the immigrant’s negative stereotype as the trigger of social problems in France.

A Study for an Ideal Password Management System
Authors: Shinde Shivam K.
Published: January 2022

Abstract: The growing number of online services needs users to have control over their password management system (generation, storage, recall). But the demand for total randomness and exclusivity of passwords is impractical in day-to-day life. Each component of a password management system comes with its cognitive burden on a user. There are many password management solutions available for users but every one of them has some drawbacks. Password managers have the ability to help users manage their passwords more successfully while also addressing many of the problems about password-based authentication. In this study, We're analyzing various previous studies regarding the effectiveness, usability, and security of password managers of all categories. Also, we're trying to come up with an ideal set of parameters to build the best possible password management system in 2022. This study will help to understand the key parameters and algorithms that we can use while building the ideal password generation, storage, and recall system for the user.
PHYSIOTHERAPY REHABILITATION IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH POSTOPERATIVE FEMORAL NECK FRACTURE
Authors: Purushe Devyani
Published: January 2022

of The femoral neck fracture in older people is a significant public health problem. Femoral neck fracture is a common type of hip fracture, which has a high morbidity and mortality. Surgical treatments is the first choice. Femoral neck fractures are common injuries in every trauma center's patient population and have a high prevalence in the overall population. The most severe outcomes of hip fractures are known to be falls or osteoporosis, which is typically confirmed in patients with trauma. Ninety-seven femoral neck fracture patients aged 70 years or older were included, and history characteristics, falls, fractures, and other postoperative complications were examined and reported during hospitalization. Therefore, this study focus on the protocols for the treatment of physical therapy following surgically treated proximal femoral fractures in elderly patients. In the postoperative treatment of patients with proximal femoral fracture, physical therapy helps to increase muscle strength and enhance walking safety and performance, understanding the condition of the patient, thereby helping the elderly to become more independent. It is incredibly necessary for the doctor to have knowledge about the form of fracture, along with the material used for surgical fixation, secure a healthy beginning for physical therapy. In order to avoid respiratory issues and other complications resulting in immobility, it is of critical importance for this patient to remain orthostatic and to walk as soon as possible, irrespective of the nature of fracture and the material used for fixation, although this is frequently not possible because of the patient's general health status.

Virtual reality immersion therapy (VRIT) or Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is designed to isolate the user from their surrounding sensory inputs and an illusion of immersion inside a computer-generated interactive environment is provided which makes the therapy not only interesting and entertaining but also motivating and effective. In this study, 50 participants will be enrolled. All the participants will be recruited as per the inclusion criteria and will be given a 30minute Oculus quest therapy for 4 consequent weeks per day. Appropriate scales for the assessment of memory and attention will be used to evaluate the results of the study. This study aims to investigate the impact of virtual reality on attention and memory of school going children. Numerous studies focusing on conditions related to neurology and psychology have shown some promising results. This progress makes it essential to research the impact of virtual reality and thus provide guidelines for the field of education and technology. It is assumed that virtual reality uses latent acquisition when used for learning, increasing memory and retention, by producing spatial presence and a stronger immersion experience.

Authors: Singh Anushika
Published: January 2022

Kidneys have a capability to filter waste from our blood, when this capacity of kidney is compromised several disturbances in our body arise. Acute kidney injury is a reversible disorder characterized by a rapid loss of renal function shown by an increase in Serum creatinine, urea nitrogen on an hourly, daily, weekly basis. According to the WHO Kidney disease causes over 850,000 deaths every year. Chronic kidney disease being greatest cause of mortality and largest cause of disability. Chronic renal failure is irreversible but precaution may prevent further damage of nephrons. Quercetin is a flavonol present in a number of plant parts that belongs to the category of polyphenols. Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor that is extensively used now days to treat chronic renal failure. In this study adenine is used to induce chronic renal failure and enalapril in conjunction with a natural compound quercetin is applied for the suppression of chronic renal failure. Water intake, urine output, food intake, biochemical analysis of blood and urine with kidneys histopathological markers were investigated for all five treatment groups were compared with control group. Quercetin with enalapril treated animals recovered significantly when compared with the control and standard groups. Quercetin shows free radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory response on kidney and reduces the stress on kidneys, on the other hand Enalapril, due to its diuretic action expels the waste materials from the blood circulation.

Authors: Radhika Bindu
Published: January 2022

In a tertiary care hospital, a total of 185 individuals with thrombocytosis with a platelet count of more than 450,000/μl were studied prospectively for clinical significance and Aetiology. The most prevalent causes of thrombocytosis were an infection. Reactive thrombocytosis (97.84%) was shown to be the most prevalent cause of an increased platelet counts in the current research whereas spurious thrombocytosis was found in (2.16%). In our research, we found no evidence of a significant influence of food patterns and antiplatelet medications on platelet count. Platelet count was shown to be higher in a greater percentage of male participants, as well as in patients with existing co-morbidities. The presence of a high platelet count during a routine blood test has medical and clinical implications.
PROGINS PROGESTERONE RECEPTOR GENE POLYMORPHISM AS A RISK FACTOR FOR PRETERM DELIVERY
Authors: Panikkar Surya
Published: January 2022

The study’s aim and the objective were to evaluate the association between progesterone receptor PROGINS and preterm delivery by correlating with clinical data. The study had begun with 150 preterm delivery cases (PTD) among which it has classified into 3 cohorts as extreme preterm i.e. 24 - 28 gestation weeks, n= 37, very preterm i.e. 28 to <32 gestation weeks, n =36; and late preterm i.e. 32 to <37 gestation weeks, n =77. 150 cases of term delivery were evaluated for progesterone receptor PROGINS gene polymorphism. Software R version 3.6.3 was used for the statistical analysis. PTD cases were having higher PR mutation. The mutant allele of T2 frequencies were .23 in preterm delivery women and .01 in controls with odds ratio 18.0 (CI, 4.25- 76.1). Homozygous for T2 allele was present in 2.6% of preterm delivery women. PROGINS polymorphisms had showed association in preterm labor and are evidently enhancing risky genetic factors in terms of the susceptibility of PTD.
EVALUATION OF RATIONAL DRUG USE BASED ON WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION CORE DRUG USE INDICATORS AT A PRIVATE HOSPITAL OF WESTERN INDIA: A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: Gujar Amol G.
Published: January 2022

Recent data from the National sample survey highlighted that many Indians prefer private hospitals over public hospitals for their healthcare needs. Hence, drug utilization research at private hospitals may help promote rational drug use, avoid risk to patient safety, and minimize pharmaceuticals wastage. The study aimed to evaluate the drugs prescription pattern using the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended prescribing indicators at a private hospital in Pune, India. The study was an observational, prospective, and cross-sectional study conducted at the out-patient department of a private hospital in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Total 1023 prescriptions from October 2020 to May 2021 were studied using WHO drug prescribing indicators. Microsoft Excel and SPSS v26.0 was used to capture and analyse the data of the study. A total of 3954 drugs were prescribed in 1023 prescriptions. The average number of drugs prescribed per encounter was 3.9 (standard deviation: 1.3). Drugs prescribed by using the drug's generic name were 6.6%, the encounters with an antibiotic and an injection prescribed were 47.0% and 1.8%, respectively. The drugs prescribed from the Essential Drugs List (EDL) were 62.0%. Additionally, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed the most (17.7%), followed by antacids (17.3%) and vitamins and supplements drugs (17.0%). The study highlighted deviations in prescribing practices compared to WHO standards. The study suggests a need to train the physicians and implement the WHO prescribing indicator on a trial basis in private hospitals to develop policies to achieve a long-lasting benefit.
PREDICTION OF PROCESS VARIABLES IN INDOMETHACIN TERNARY SYSTEM USING EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN SOLID STATE CHARACTERIZATION AND IN-VIVO STUDIES
Authors: Mohanraj Palanisamy
Published: January 2022

The aim of the present investigation is (i) to apply and analyze response surface methodology to optimize the preparation method of indomethacin solid dispersion which involves three significant independent variables: amounts of each carrier β-Cyclodextrin (βCD), Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP K30), and solvent mixture (ethanol-water), (ii) to characterize by solid state analysis, and evaluate by in vivo study. A 3-factor, 3- level ‘Central Composite Face Centered design’ was used to explore the quadratic and linear response surfaces and to construct a second order polynomial models which can predict responses ‘aqueous solubility’, and ‘% release’ with minimum % error. In addition, the desirability function approach was applied to obtain the best compromise among the multiple responses. It was found that both the independent variables played a significant role on the solubility and percentage drug release. The solid state studies enable the phase (crystalline) transform of drug which influences its solubility and drug release. The enhancement of Cmax and AUC0-24 of indomethacin (in solid dispersion)with that of pure drug imply the increase in bioavailability of drug.
MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHM USED TO BUILD A QSAR MODEL FOR PYRAZOLINE SCAFFOLD AS ANTI-TUBERCULAR AGENT
Authors: Prabha T
Published: January 2022

Machine learning has become an essential tool for drug research to generate pertinent structural information to design drugs with higher biological activities. In this paper, we used python program language on pyrazoline scaffold, which is collected from diverse literature for the inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pyrazoline, a small molecule scaffold could block the biosynthesis of mycolic acids, resulting in mycobacteria death and leading to anti-tubercular drug discovery. The generated QSAR model afforded the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression as R2 = 0.380, F=4.909, and Q2 =0.303, reg. coef_ developed were of 0.00651593 (molecular weight), -0.0069445 (hydrogen bond acceptor), - 0.07576775 (hydrogen bond donor), -0.239021 (LogP) and reg. intercept of 3.10331589018553 developed through statsmodels.formula module. The support vector machine of the sklearn module generated the model score of 0.6294242262068762, the developed model was cross-validated by using the test set compounds and plotting the linear curve between the predicted and actual pMIC50 value. We have found that the values obtained using this script correlated well and may be useful in the design of a similar group of pyrazoline analogs as anti-tubercular agents.

Published: January 2022

Although research has been performed on participatory mechanisms in science and technology such as brokering, little seems written on intermediary organizations, e.g. science museums, taking up and embedding a participation brokerage role and systemic factors influencing these. This paper presents a qualitative case study in which six different intermediary organizations developed their participation brokerage role in a European RRI project. We demonstrate how structuring factors in the project context, the intermediary organization and the broader systemic context influenced the participation brokerage role take-up and embedding. Our findings yield implications for future capacity building endeavors among participation brokers in the making.
