RELIGIOUS PLURALISM: BETWEEN SYNCRETISM AND TANTULARISM
Authors: Chaer Moh. Toriqul
Published: March 2017

This article has several objectives: first, to discover the background of religious pluralism in Javanese society, notably among the communities in Ketanggi; second, to recognize religious practice in Ketanggi; and third, to explore the religious attitudes of Ketanggi people towards religious pluralism. This article is based on field research carried out in Ketanggi sub-district of Ngawi, East Java, which is inhabited by the communities with different religious backgrounds. This paper argues that religious commitment among Ketanggi people is partly based on ‘tantularism’, a sort of ethical principle which emerges as a result of the encounters between religion and local wisdom. The reception of Ketanggi people towards religious and cultural pluralism is expressed through the concept of lilo legowo (voluntary reception towards the other) which in turn becomes foundation of religious tolerance in that area.

Published: March 2017

Who does not know Bali, a beautiful island that fascinates many tourists from around the world, with a religious identity as it is commonly referred to as the Island of Gods. Despite being well-known as the Land of the Hindus, Bali has a Muslim village, where Muslim residents live side by side with the Hindu Balinese. When one recalls the Bali bombing incident in 2002 and 2005 in Kuta, Jimbaran, certainly they will express an opinion on the social and religious tension between these two religious groups. The tragedy has in fact left a change in attitudes i.e. the strengthening of the Balinese identity, which is presented in the book entitled Bulan Sabit di Pulau Dewata: Jejak Kampung Islam Kusamba-Bali (The Crescent Moon on the Island of Gods, Traces of Muslim Village Kusamba-Bali).
Tracking the Traces of God in Science: Islamic Tafsir on Science
Authors: Golshani Mehdi , Syamsul Kurniawan Reviewed by:
Published: March 2017

To Muslims, the Qur’an should serve as the model of thinking. It is a model which should become the paradigm. The advancement of science based on the paradigm of the Qur’an will obviously enrich science. This paradigm will subsequently trigger the emergence of alternative science. We understand that normative premises of the Qur’an can be formulated into empirical and rational theories. The transcendental structure of the Qur’an is an idea which is normative and philosophical in nature, and it can be formulated into a theoretical paradigm, and provide a framework for the development of empirical and rational science, based on the pragmatic needs of humans as the vicegerent on earth. Kuntowijoyo (2006) argued that the development of theories of Islamic science is intended for the welfare of the Muslims.
INTRIGUES BEHIND THE HAREM WALL: SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND POLITICAL CONSTRUCTION OF LIFE BEHIND THE HAREM OF SULTAN SULAIMAN I
Authors: Ar. Eka Hendry
Published: March 2017

The urgency of exploring the history of the harem is important, not only because of being a rare phenomenon today or no longer in existence but perhaps this work is like opening the pandora’s box, a nightmare for women. This paper is presented as an academic review to portrait the fact that power is always in contact with wealth and attractive women, especially during a period when patriarchy was dominant. Sultan Sulaiman I was in power between 1520 to 1566 AD, in the 16th century AD. In western literature, Sultan Sulaiman was known as Suleyman the Magnificent. The work concludes, first, that the harem to the people of the Middle East in the medieval times was considered respectable for the family, especially for women both in the context of the imperial and domestic harem, where it was constructed in the name of honor, comfort and safety for women. Second, the construction of social, cultural and religious institutions of harem is the integration between the will to protect and maintain the honor of women, the concept of marriage in Islam and the patriarchal system hegemony in the Islamic world particularly in the context of the imperial harem. Third, the role of Sulaiman I who was “brave” to go against the tradition that had been practiced for many years in the Ottoman Empire, a milestone was important for the emancipation of women of the harem. Finally, to respond to the harem tradition, we must be in an impartial position, between the construction of the West and East.

Authors: Ridwan Imam Malik
Published: March 2017

As for religion, internet has become a very important aspect in people’s everyday live, especially for those who seek information and further understanding about religion; internet is a way in and out to do so. While in one side internet has been a great help in providing sources and opportunity to learn religion in a new way, it also has a negative potential for the growing numbers of radicalism and religious extremism. Various researches and studies have bought up large data showing that these negative effects of internet bring bad influences to religious believers. Nevertheless, the ability of internet in providing and spreading information are also a way out in bringing back religion to its ideal path, that is to evoke peace and welfare among people. Internet is then used as a field for dakwah (proselytizing) to spread more peaceful as well as relevant information on religion and its related topics. Online dakwah is therefore meant to initiate peace and non-violent ways in understanding and practicing religion in real life. Focused targets for the dakwah are youth as the most active users of internet, as well as government to initiate and implement such policies to keep internet clean from violence and extremism.
RELIGION, CULTURE AND LOCAL WISDOM IN THE DEATH RITUAL OF PONTIANAK MALAY SOCIETY
Authors: Djar’ie Sumarman Muhammad , Prasojo Zaenuddin Hudi
Published: March 2017

Death is inevitable and will occur to every living creature, including humans no mater what religion or belief they have; however, no one knows for sure when it happens. Humans can only predict death based on indicators that can be seen before it occurs. Still until now, there are many people who attempt to oppose death, even though in the end they have to admit that Allah is the Almighty. Therefore, no wonder if the death is still considered a tragedy rather than the culmination of happiness when humans finally harvest of deeds they have done all their life. In this light, death rituals are often accompanied by the tears of the family of the deceased, even some cry hard to express their pain as someone they love is gone, coupled with the arrival of relatives and acquaintances who mourn, and condolences as well as the phrase “inna lillâh wa inna ilaihi raji’ȗn”. A day of joy has turned into a day of sorrow, although it always ends with kendurian (gathering for remembering the dead), whose excitement is like that of selamatan (communal feast) and syukuran (celebration of thankfulness). This paper tries to present the infiltration of religion and culture in the death ritual in Pontianak Malay community as an object of discussion of local wisdom by using mafhȗm mukhâlafah approach, to provide a new understanding of the meaning of death.

Seren Taun Guru Bumi is one of the rituals of the Sundanese people deeply-rooted in the belief of Nyi Pohaci (Dewi Sri) as the goddess of fertility. The involvement of the researcher in this ritual made the data a primary source which is the implementation of Seren Taun Guru Bumi in Sindang Barang Cultural Village, Bogor, West Java. This research shows that the ritual of Seren Taun Guru Bumi is a form of Islamic harmony with the Sundanese culture. Islamic culture assimilates in the frame of Sundanese traditions in Tatar Sunda, in which both are brought together in the ritual as a form of gratitude to God Almighty.

Sharia-Based Regional Regulations and Inter-Religious Relations in Bulukumba South Sulawesi
Authors: Diab Ashadi L
Published: March 2017

The background for the emergence of the idea of applying Sharia based regional regulations in Bulukumba is influenced by three factors: history, politics and socio-religious reality of the community. The response to the application of Islamic law also varies. At least in broad outline there are four kinds of responses, i.e. accepting, accepting with certain conditions, refusing then accepting and refusing. The application of Islamic law in Bulukumba has caused changes both in the physical appearance and socio-religious interaction of the people. Changes in physical appearance can be seen from the increasing number of women wearing hijab and a number of writings of religious nuances in various corners of the city. Changes in the areas of social interaction can be seen from the decrease of the crime rate. In the interaction between religious communities, the Sharia-based regulations are a medium for the Islamization of society. The existence of such legislation has also left no space for non-Muslims to build or add a new place of worship.

Strange Encounter: Depicting An “Other” Reality for Young Readers

Published: March 2017

This article explores fantastic encounters between humans and non-humans inChinese and Japanese Children’s literature. Naoko Awa’s collection of short storiesThe Fox’s Window and Other Stories is closely read to elucidate narrative features ofwhat I call as “strange encounter”, the magic realistic human-animal encounter inChinese and Japanese cultural context. Chinese supernatural literature and culturaltradition of yaoguai, which have been assimilated into Japanese culture (Japaneseyōkai), are referred to throughout my discussion.  Todorov’s approach to thefantastic, Judith Zeitlin’s study of Strange Tales of Liaozhai Studio, and RosemaryJackson’s study of fantasy are drawn upon to illuminate the meaning of encountersbetween men and animals. I argue that magic realism as a relatively new genrefor young readers, not only reflects the author’s individual creative experienceof the fantastic but also partakes in the sense of an “other” reality that resonatesthroughout a cultural community.Perjumpaan Ganjil: Gambaran suatu Realitas “Liyan” bagi Pembaca Muda.Artikel ini membahas perjumpaan fantastis antara ‘manusia’ dan ‘non-manusia’ didalam sastra anak Cina dan Jepang.

Karya sastrasupernatural Cina dan keberadaan yaoguai yang telah diasimilasi dalam kebudayaanJepang (disebut youkai) menjadi sebuah referensi penting dalam artikel ini. Pendekatanfantasi dari Todorov, studi Judith Zeitlin tentang Strange Tales of Liaozhai Studio,dan studi fantasi dari Rosemary Jackson digunakan untuk memperjelas arti dariperjumpaan antara manusia dan binatang.

Introduction Adaptive support ventilation (ASV) is a close loop dual control mechanical ventilation mode. This mode can automatically change its parameters to weaning mode once the patient is actively breathing converting volume targeted pressure control mode to volume targeted pressure support mode. We aimed to observe the outcome of the patients ventilated with ASV as a sole mode in terms of duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of weaning from the ventilatory support and length of Intensive care unit (ICU) stay.Methodology We conducted a prospective observational study for the duration of six months (Sept 2015 to Feb 2016) to assess the clinical outcome of the patients ventilated by ASV as a sole mode of ventilation. The study conducted observation of 78 patients without chronic respiratory, renal, hepatic and neurological disease who were admitted in our intensive care unit for invasive ventilatory support.Results Out of the 187 patients who required invasive and noninvasive ventilation, only 78 patients fulfilled the criteria to be included in the study. It was observed that the mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 5.4 days while weaning as well as tracheal extubation was successful within 13 hours of initiation of weaning. The mean duration of ICU stay was found to be 6.3 days.Conclusion We concluded that the patient ventilated by ASV mode were effectively weaned without the need of changing the ventilator mode. However, the safety of ASV mode needs to be established by large randomized control trail in a wide spectrum of patients.Birat Journal of Health Sciences 2016 1(1): 8-12

Introduction Severe sepsis and septic shock is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The burden is higher and the outcome is dismal in the low and middle income countries.Objective This study aims to evaluate the knowledge about severe sepsis and septic shock among the medical officers of emergency department and intensive care unit in Nepal. It is a cross-sectional survey study.Methodology The medical officers working in emergency department and intensive care unit were asked to fill up the survey questionnaire, which contained the questions related to the demographics of the participant, about the knowledge of sepsis and the hindrances behind the effective management of septic patients. The percentage of correct answers for each question and average correct response for all the questions were analyzed.Results Seventy medical officers from twenty-four hospitals across the country were enrolled in the study. Among them, 39 were working in the emergency department and 31 were working in the intensive care unit. For the individual questions, the percentage of correct answers varied from 8.57% to 82.86% (average 48.16%). As per the response of the participants, lack of knowledge about sepsis and management guidelines, lack of experience for management of sepsis and lack of investigation facilities were considered to be the major barriers for effective management of septic patients.Conclusions Knowledge and understanding about severe sepsis and septic shock among the medical officers of emergency department and intensive care unit in Nepal is sub-optimal. To improve the outcome of septic patients, efforts should be made to increase the understanding among these first-line health care workers by implementing regular and mandatory training programs.Birat Journal of Health Sciences 2016 1(1): 47-50

Introduction Post operative wound infection continues to be the major concern even after the appropriate antibiotic coverage.Objective To find out the incidence of post operative wound infection following the use of antibiotics in clean contaminated head and neck surgery in a tertiary care centre in Eastern Nepal.Methodology It is a prospective study conducted at Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Nobel Medical  College Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar from 14th April 2013 to 12th April 2015. Patient who underwent clean contaminated head and neck surgery were followed up on 1st, 3rd and 6th post–operative day (POD) and wounds were inspected for any signs of wound infection.Results A total of 144 patients undergoing various clean contaminated head and neck surgeries were included in this study. Tonsillectomy was the commonest surgery performed (40.27%). An overall wound infection rate was 11.80%. Serous discharge rd from the surgical site observed on 3rd post operative day was the most common presentation of wound infection (29.41%). Parotidectomy was the surgery presenting with highest rate of wound infection (31.25%).Conclusion This study concludes that even the best technique and appropriate antibiotic has not completely eliminated the problem of wound infection in clean contaminated head and neck surgery.Birat Journal of Health Sciences 2016 1(1): 51-55

Introduction Pharmacovigilance is not new to India and has in fact been going on since 1998. Adverse drugs reaction (ADRs) are important causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world. They account for approximately 10-20% of all hospitalized patients. The overall incidence of serious ADRs is 6.7% and that of fatal is 0.32%.Objective The objectives of the study was to find the pattern of adverse drug reactions in patients attending medicine ward of a tertiary care center of New Delhi.Methodology A prospective study was conducted from March 2013 to December 2013. On the basis of WHO-UMC causality assessment algorithm, the incidence and pattern of ADRs were assessed from 300 patients of 18 to 70 years of age. The collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) and analysed by SPSS.Results The incidence of ADRs was found to be 13.67%. More than one ADRs has been reported from some patients. The gender of the patients has no significance in the occurance of ADRs (p=0.194). Highest number of ADRs were found in gastrointestional system followed by central nervous system. Gastrointestional ADRs were must commonly associated with the uses of antimicrobials. The most frequently seen ADRs were diarrhea, gastritis, abdominal pain followed by nausea and vomiting. Decreased level of consciousness (sedation, drowsiness) followed by dizziness and tremors were the frequent ADRs related to the central nervous systems. Based on WHO-UMC causality assessment algorithm, it was observed that a total of 57 ADRs were possible and 2 were probable. No other causality assessment category was observed.Conclusion The ADRs incidence was common even in a tertiary care center. The Gastrointestional and central nervous system disorder were common. The concern of Pharmacovigilance should be initiated.Birat Journal of Health Sciences 2016 1(1): 61-64

Introduction Electro diagnostic studies provide the surgeons with critical information regarding the location, severity and nature of a nerve injury and also useful in predicting and assessing improvement during treatment either conservatively or surgically .Objective To evaluate the role of diagnostic and prognostic value of Electromyographic (EMG) studies in Peripheral Nerve injury.Methodology Fifty patients, having peripheral nerve injury were evaluated clinically and electro-physiologically to determine the role played by the latter in the management of such injuries. The study was prospective cohort study conducted at All India Institute of medical sciences, New Delhi.Results The most common mode of nerve injury was transection(54%) and most common nerve involved was radial (38%). The most common types of nerve injury in our study were axonotmesis (42%). Nature of injury was evaluated clinically and electrophysiologically.Consclusions Electromyographic studies in peripheral nerve injury are helpful in diagnosing nerve injury, in localizing the site of injury and in estimating the extent of injury. EMG studies cannot give correct prognostic or quantify the functional recovery, but act as a useful modality to decide for re-exploration in operated cases.Birat Journal of Health Sciences 2016 1(1): 65-70

OBJECTIVE

Outcome studies for sagittal strip craniectomy have largely relied on the 2D measure of the cephalic index (CI) as the primary indicator of head shape. The goal of this study was to measure the 2D and 3D changes in head shape that occur after sagittal strip craniectomy and postoperative helmet therapy.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective review of patients treated with sagittal strip craniectomy at their institution between January 2012 and October 2015. Inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) isolated sagittal synostosis; 2) age at surgery < 200 days; and 3) helmet management by a single orthotist. The CI was calculated from 3D images. Color maps and dot maps were generated from 3D images to demonstrate the regional differences in the magnitude of change in head shape over time.

RESULTS

Twenty-one patients met the study inclusion criteria. The mean CI was 71.9 (range 63.0–77.9) preoperatively and 81.1 (range 73.0–89.8) at the end of treatment. The mean time to stabilization of the CI after surgery was 57.2 ± 32.7 days. The mean maximum distances between the surfaces of the preoperative and 1-week postoperative and between the surfaces of the preoperative and end-of-treatment 3D images were 13.0 ± 4.1 mm and 24.71 ± 6.83 mm, respectively. The zone of maximum change was distributed equally in the transverse and vertical dimensions of the posterior vault.

CONCLUSIONS

The CI normalizes rapidly after sagittal strip craniectomy (57.2 days), with equal distribution of the change in CI occurring before and during helmet therapy. Three-dimensional analysis revealed significant vertical and transverse expansion of the posterior cranial vault. Further studies are needed to assess the 3D changes that occur after other sagittal strip craniectomy techniques.
The transparency performance puzzle: A fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis of policy failure in open government initiatives
Authors: Ingrams Alex
Published: March 2017

Open government reform is frequently being used to promote greater transparency and participation in government. But conceptual models of transparency success have not been well articulated, and there is a puzzle regarding whether and why transparency policies perform. One way forward is to assess negative cases of when open government initiatives fall far short of their stipulated goals. Policy failure can be specifically measured and has strong empirical and normative salience given that poor transparency performance is a common phenomenon. In order to address the transparency performance puzzle, this paper employs institutional theory and uses fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis to assess whether any combination of factors proposed by the theory present necessary or sufficient conditions for failing open government initiatives. Results show that no single condition is necessary for failure to occur. Four `recipes' of policy failure exist revealing a strong influence of lack of legal mandates and weak civil society support combined with either a poor information rights environment or low resources.
