Authors: Joeliantina Anita , Proboningsih Jujuk , Anugrahini Hepta Nur , Mejilla Joylyn L.
Published: March 2022

Hyperglycemia in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) can lead to complications such as diabetic foot ulcers. Therefore, efforts are needed to prevent this chronic complication through proper foot care. This study aimed to determine the behavior of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in performing blood glucose monitoring and correct foot care. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study, with a sample size of 125 patients with T2DM from the Community Health Center in Surabaya Indonesia. Data was collected with the use of a self-made questionnaire from May to October 2018. The variables of the study were patient characteristics, random blood glucose levels, blood glucose monitoring and foot care skills. The data analysis used was Spearman rho to determine the factors associated with foot care behaviors.  Fifty-six percent (56%) of the participants have poor behavior on foot care, 36 % have moderate and only 7.2% have good.  Factors that were significantly associated with foot care behavior were signs and symptoms (p = 0.023), blood glucose monitoring (p = .000), and random blood glucose levels (p = 0.040). The behaviors of patients with T2DM in blood glucose monitoring and foot care need to be improved to prevent complications from diabetic foot ulcers. Nurses must provide health education about the importance of regular foot care to patients and their families. The results of this study can be used to further improve the programs and services to prevent DM and delay the progression of chronic complications like diabetic foot ulcers at the community level.

Kegiatan yang dilakukan manusia berupa pendidikan juga tak terlepas dari faktor psikologis. Faktor psikologis menjadi landasan dalam pendidikan dikarenakan kegiatan pendidikan melibatkan kejiwaan manusia. Landasan psikologis menjadi penting dikarenakan pendidikan umunya berkaitan erat dengan pemahaman dan penghayatan akan perkembangan manusia, khususnya proses  belajar mengajar. Landasan psikologi tentu harus memiliki pedoman. Landasan atau prinsip pendidikan adalah ketentuan-ketentuan yang dijadikan pedoman atau pegangan dalam melaksanakan pendidikan agar tujuannya tercapai dengan benar dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Landasan yang dianut dalam pendidikan berpedoman pada azas yang dibuat oleh Komisi Pembaharuan Pendidikan, salah satu asa yang pertama adalah ide dari Ki Hajar Dewantara yaitu Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, dan Tut Wuri Handayani. Landasan dan Asas yang diberlakukan dalam dunia pendidikan memiliki fungsi yang merupakan serangkaian tugas atau misi yang diemban. Fungsi pendidikan itu sendiri adalah menyiapkan sebagai manusia, menyiapkan tenaga kerja dan menyiapakna warga negara yang baik. Basis agama, filsafat, psikologis dan sosiologis dalam visi pendidikan sebagai tempat bertumpu atau dasar dalam melakukan analisis kritis terhadap kaidah-kaidah dan kenyataan tentang kebijakan dan praktik pendidikan. Kajian analisis kritis terhadap kaidah dan kenyataan tersebut dapat dijadikan titik tumpu atau dasar dalam upaya penemuan kebijakan dan Pratik pendidikan yang tepat guna dan bernilai guna. Dengan kata lain, dapat dikatakan bahwa landasan pendidikan merupakan dasar bagi upaya pengembangan kependidikan dalam segala aspeknya.

Published: March 2022

Akibat pandemi Covid-19 yang terjadi di Indonesia sejak awal tahun 2020, banyak sektor industri yang terpukul salah satunya adalah industri pariwisata. Bali merupakan salah satu provinsi yang paling mengalami keterpurukan akibat pandemi Covid-19 di mana masyarakatnya banyak kehilangan sumber penghasilan yang sebagian besar bergantung pada sektor pariwisata. Akan tetapi, saat pandemi Covid-19 sebagian pelaku usaha pariwisata memilih untuk bertahan di tengah pandemi dengan melakukan berbagai inovasi, hal tersebut dilakukan oleh sebagian pelaku usaha travel agent di kawasan Sanur. Mempertahankan suatu usaha di tengah pandemi bukanlah perkara yang cukup mudah. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan strategi manajemen khusus oleh pelaku usaha untuk membuat usahanya tetap eksis di berbagai kondisi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui strategi manajemen 5 P yang dicetuskan oleh Mintzberg, et al. (1995) yang digunakan oleh travel agent di kawasan Sanur untuk bertahan saat pandemi Covid-19. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara yang telah dilakukan, alasan secara umum travel agent di kawasan Sanur yang masih tetap melakukan promosi dan menerapkan strategi untuk bertahan adalah perasaan optimis yang dimiliki oleh pelaku usaha mengenai kebangkitan pariwisata setelah masa pandemi. Dengan demikian, terdapat 10 travel agent dari 46 data travel agent (berdasarkan pada data BPSS) yang tetap menerapkan strategi manajemen yaitu 5 P yaitu plan, ploy, pattern, position, perspective untuk tetap bertahan dalam menghadapi masa pandemi Covid-19.

Authors: Budak Özcan , Çakıroğlu Hüseyin
Published: March 2022

Objective: In this study, the aim is to examine the effects of Chestnut and Manuka honey on wound healing in order to investigate the effectiveness of cost-effective alternative to current approaches in terms of wound care and treatment.
Material and Methods: In this study, we used 30 healthy male Balbc mice weighing 18-24 g. We randomly divided the rats into three groups. A control group, a group treated with only Chestnut honey, a group treated with Manuka honey cream. After the wounds were formed in groups, the tissue samples were gathered on the seventh and fourteenth days. Then these samples were examined histologically and immunohistochemically.
Results: When the study results were evaluated, statistically significant differences were seen between histological and immune-histochemical findings in wound tissue preparations. On the seventh day, tissue samples showed re-epithelialization (P=0,002), granulation cell density (P=0,003) and angiogenesis (P= 0,003). In the fourteenth day tissue samples, we found epithelialization (P=0,001), granulation cell density (P=0,002) and angiogenesis (P=0,001). In the tissue samples in the seventh and fourteenth days between the groups, we found immino-histochemically, Ki-67 and EGF dyeing percentages as P= 0,004 and P=0,003 respectively.
Conclusion: We think chestnut honey may contribute to a shorter wound healing process.

Authors: Natelauri Eter , Kiel Krystyna , Natelauri Tea , Liluashvili Tinatin , Badzgaradze Tornike , Batsikadze Jarji , Tcheishvili Zurab , Targaladze Nika
Published: March 2022

Objective: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is widely regarded as the gold standard for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Radio Therapy encompasses pelvic external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), followed by intracavitary brachy therapy (BT) to boost the cervix. However, in developing countries, there is a tendency to prefer surgery over other types of treatments for several reasons - surgery is easily obtainable, more acceptable, and understandable culturally. On the other hand, in developed countries, The utilization of brachy therapy (BT) to boost the cervix in patients with Cervical Cancer (CC) has been gradually declined because of the advent of sophisticated techniques for EBRT. Recently, the treatment of LACC has been a point of controversy. We have no prospective data to justify that surgery or modern EBRT can be used in place of intracavitary BT boost in women with locally advanced CC. This study aims to review existing information about brachytherapy alternatives after neoadjuvant chemoradiation.
Material and Methods: An electronic search of the PubMed database was conducted to obtain key cervical cancer literature. The MEDLINE/PubMED (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) database was chosen as it remains the most widely used resource for medical literature. Additional records were searched in other resources.
Results: The first phase of screening identified 18 articles for the first search term (“Adjuvant hysterectomy” AND “Cervical Cancer”), 10 article for the second search term (“IMRT boost” AND Cervical cancer”) and 11 articles for the third search term (“SBRT” AND “Cervical Cancer”). In sum 39 articles were identified to be relevant for the second phase of screening. Studies that included less than five patients with investigated intervention or did not provided enough information about at least one primary endpoint were excluded. A total of 20 (11-adjuvant hysterectomy, 4-IMRT boost, 5-SBRT boost) papers met the selection criteria and were found eligible for this review. 
Conclusion: When all these alternative approaches to ICB are evaluated, adjuvant hysterectomy appears to have treatment outcomes comparable to standard of care, while SBRT appears to have only modest yearly results. As a result, the majority of writers believe that neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by radical surgery or SBRT may be a realistic therapeutic option for patients with LACC, not merely when ICB is unavailable, technically impractical, or rejected. Large, randomized-controlled trials are required to conclusively demonstrate or invalidate non-ICB alternatives for cervical cancer treatment.

Published: March 2022

The novelist is a creator and a creative writer whose foundation is lodged in imaginative thinking. It is in the creative writer’s ability to recreate events, which had either taken place or could take place, through the use of fictive characters, and creative use of language. This study therefore introspects the events of the Nigerian/Biafra civil war from the perspective of the novelist as a historian, in doing this the study examines the events of the civil war from the literary perspectives and accounts of a literary giant Chukwu Emeka Ikeh’s Sunset at Dawn. Data for the study is collected from secondary sources, the text under study and other Nigerian/Biafran war novels, historical books about the civil war, and internet sources. The study adopted the theory of historicism as a frame work. It highlighted the civil war era from the perspective of the writer under study, from the beginning of the conflict to when it became a full-blown war, the killings, starvation, hunger and the end of the war. The study identified some of the remote causes of the war to be the fear of political domination among the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria, deep seated ethnic resentment and acrimony among others. This study recommends that similar situation in future can only be averted through power devolution, all- inclusive leadership style and equitable distribution of the nation’s resources.

Authors: Üstün Kaya Senem , Bilgin Topçu Ümmühan
Published: March 2022

Cengiz Da?c? has been circling around certain facts since his first novels in the 50's and in his many historically unique novels, he attempted to embrace his readers with human adventures, social and individual fractures based on the alienation and isolation of minorities from their own lands and perceivable periods in the shed of clashes and wars. This study aimed at interpreting the aspects of his style in his Benim Gibi Biri (Someone like Me) and presenting the differentiation of the work from its predecessors. The main purpose was to detect the concentration in the narration of Da?c?. The novel underscores the deviations in narration, cohesion and context in general when the character, Joseph becomes the voice of the conscience of the protagonist-narrator. Throughout spatial narration, we observed the traces of Cengiz Da?c? in a silhouette revealing his own personality and experience in actual life. The author’s psychology, outbursts, rebels, traumas and feelings are reflected through the main character, Joseph Tucknell. The deviations in narration highlights the scenes that create pathos for the readers when language becomes poetic. This study involves three main parts. In the first part, the novel Benim Gibi Biri (Someone like Me) by Cengiz Da?c? is analyzed in terms of characterization, themes and setting. Secondly, the focus was on the narrative techniques and cohesion within the context of the text. Finally, it was concluded that Cengiz Da?c? applied essential techniques to abstract his ideas from his fiction in this notable novel, distinguished from his previous works. Therefore, his works still mark the literary canon in terms of unique style and themes.
Filipino-Ness in Anna Felicia Sanchez’s “Martinés”
Authors: GARCIA KIER
Published: March 2022

Filipino-ness in cultural beliefs, cultural practices, personality traits, cultural values, and perception of mythical creatures and supernatural phenomena were the main concepts of the study. The research aimed to extract and analyze Filipino-ness in the story “Martinés” by Anna Felicia Sanchez. Content analysis, extraction of passages in the story through frame of references such as; characters, settings, conflict, and sensory imagery were used in the analysis of the story “Martinés”. Filipino-ness in cultural beliefs signifies that Filipinos are superstitious people for they tend to give attention and importance to some supernatural forces. Filipino ness in cultural practices reveals that Filipinos are traditional practitioners of offerings in the form of ritual activities. Filipinos are also practicing “Bayanihan”, especially during crucial times in their lives. Filipino-ness in personality traits shows that the Filipinos despite the problems are experiencing, still are determined and optimistic to surpass all hardships. Filipino ness in cultural values exemplifies the hospitality of the Filipinos to their visitors. Filipino-ness in the perception of mythical creatures and supernatural phenomena displays how Filipinos perceived supernatural forces and entities as an influence of their culture. The portrayal of the Filipinos as strong believers in superstitions is dominant in the story “Martinés”. This suggests that there are still Filipinos who give value to superstitions in this present time. Thus, the story “Martinés” is a vital reference in teaching aspects of Filipino culture in a literature class, which can be also a way to promote and preserve Filipino culture and literature.

Historically, punishment has been one of the most used techniques for school discipline. The main objective of this work is to make an analysis of the use of punishment in Basque schools, specifically in the infant or preschool stage. For this, a questionnaire was passed to 101 students of the Preschool Education degree asking them about the use of the punishment they had observed in their internship periods. The results revealed that both punishment and the threat of punishment are very common techniques in our schools, especially the "thinking corner". Likewise, the applied punishments did not follow a common methodological pattern, reflecting the lack of basis in the field of educational psychology of those who applied it. Finally, the educational implications of the results are discussed, both at the level of Early Childhood Education and for University Education.

Authors: Ho Huu Thien
Published: March 2022

Bаckground: Аcute аppendicitis is extremely rаre in the neonаtаl periods. The number of cаses published in the lаst century is just over 100. Mortаlity аnd morbidity аre still high due to diаgnostic problems becаuse there аre no specific clinicаl feаtures аnd reliаble investigаtion for the diаgnosis. Herein, we present two pаtients to remind physiciаns thаt the diаgnosis of neonаtаl аppendicitis should аlwаys be kept in mind.

Cаse presentаtions: The first case presented at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with an 18-hour-history of irritability, vomiting, and abdominal distension. With high white blood cell count and C-reactive protein level, the baby was initially diagnosed with neonatal sepsis. The ultrasound performed on day 3 after hospitalization found peritonitis but not seen appendicitis. Post-operative diagnosis confirmed acute perforated appendicitis withperitonitis. The baby was well covered without complication. The second case was a 6-year-old full-term infant with Down syndrome and Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent surgery and postoperative critical care. However, he died at post-operative day 5 due to worsening sepsis and decompensated hemodynamic instability.

Conclusion: It is а fаct thаt аcute аppendicitis in neonаtes аnd infаnts mаy not be diаgnosed eаsily аnd quickly аs in older children becаuse there аre no specific clinicаl feаtures аnd reliаble investigаtion for the diаgnosis. Delаy in diаgnosis аnd treаtment often results in аppendiculаr perforаtion аnd peritonitis. The mаin sаfeguаrd аgаinst mortаlity аnd morbidity remаins а high index of suspicion.
Detection of Escherichia Coli Bacteria by Using Image Processing Techniques
Authors: Karatepe Fatih , Tas Busra , Coskun Ozlem , Kahriman Mesud
Published: March 2022

Recently, image processing has proven itself as a fast and reliable technique in research in medicine and biology. Bacterial colony separation is an important and time-consuming process in studies in the field of microbiology. Bacteria counting is usually carried out by the naked eye or even by Coulter counter machines, which are based on the rather expensive electric field measurement method. In this study, image-based enumeration of Escherichia Coli over the colony morphology in the petri dish was investigated. In the experimental study, 4 different bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family were planted on petri dishes containing Eosin-methylene blue agar (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Escherichia Coli colony characteristics were determined by digitizing planted bacterial petri images. For the study, counting was done with the interface developed in MATLAB R2013a. After the classification criteria were determined, the method was tested on new petri dishes and successful results were obtained.
Non-Governmental Organizations and Development Service Provision: A Conceptual and Empirical Review
Authors: Daniel Odoom  , Joseph Obeng-Baah  , Lawrencia Agyepong
Published: March 2022

Globally, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are seen as a significant driving force behind delivering development services. There is universal consensus within the development community that development service delivery will be incomplete without the involvement of NGOs. Thus, many NGOs across the globe complement governments' efforts in development service delivery, a situation that has occasioned a rapid rise in both the volume and scale of operations of NGOs. Nonetheless, there is a growing debate regarding the conceptual intentions of NGOs. While some scholars believe that NGOs effectively provide development services, others have suggested that development service delivery does not constitute a critical component of NGOs' agenda. There is also the issue of whether or not the approaches NGOs employ in development services are participatory enough. While some scholars opine that participatory development communication approaches characterize NGOs' development services, others maintain that participation is merely rhetoric value within the NGO sector. These contending views risk an obliteration of the continuing relevance of NGOs in development discourse. This paper seeks to contribute to the debate on the place of NGOs in development services and the approaches NGOs employ in contemporary development practice. The authors posit that NGOs occupy a central place in development service provision but concede that NGO operations in development services are not without challenges. The authors argue further that NGOs’ role in development services can better be appreciated based on a thorough understanding of the role of participatory development communication in development service provisions. The paper presents a review of the relevant conceptual and empirical literature on NGOs' activities in development services and concludes by identifying lessons that should engage the attention of key stakeholders.
Parents’ Perception Towards Ending Girls’ Early Marriage in Uyui District, Tabora, Tanzania
Authors: Angela Mcharo Jesse
Published: March 2022

Early marriage is a global problem facing most countries, including Tanzania and other developing countries. The government and other organizations, including Civil Society Organizations (SCOs), have made different efforts to end early marriages in different regions in the country. Despite the efforts made, the problem persists in some of the regions in Tanzania, including Tabora, where the study was conducted. The theory of change developed by Girls Not Brides was used to show the importance of parents in ending early marriage. Thus, parents were the unit of analysis. The study employed a qualitative approach with little support of quantitative data where descriptive statistics were obtained. The study found that most respondents (74%) were not aware of marriage laws. The study also found that parents’ perception in ending girls’ early marriage was related to cultural upholding (norms and values) where the fornication and giving birth at the parents’ homes were prohibited. Another finding was that girls were taken as a way of solving economic problems in the study area. The study recommends that the community be given awareness and appropriate education on the impact of girls’ early marriage on their physical and psychological condition. The community should also be trained on intrapreneurial activities to improve their economic status. It will enable them to take care of their families and stop using their daughters as assets. The marriage laws should also be mainstreamed to all levels of the government and the communities to ensure that all people know them.
Transformational Leadership and Conflict Management in Zanzibar
Authors: Mohammed Bakari  , Alexander Boniface Makulilo
Published: March 2022

Zanzibar has had a turbulent political history for more than half a century, from the time of nationalist struggles in the 1950s. The major bone of contestation has revolved around the politics of identity with its resultant long-standing political conflict. In November 2009, the then President of Zanzibar, Amani Abeid Karume from Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), and the Civic United Front (CUF) Secretary-General, Seif Shariff Hamad met and declared their commitment in public to end the long-standing political conflict between the two main political parties on the islands. This article seeks to explain the process of reconciliation in Zanzibar with specific reference to the role of leadership in transformational change. The study was conducted between March 2015 and February 2017, involving two main data collection methods: in-depth interviews and documentary reviews. Interviews were conducted with politicians, government functionaries, academics, journalists, and leaders of civil society organizations. The study found that the only substantive achievements that were realized in the short run were power-sharing under the Government of National Unity (GNU) and some changes in attitudes among some of the key political actors, which, to a certain degree, amounted to a discourse switch from a hostile political attitude based on zero-sum politics to the recognition of the need for cooperation across party lines. The uniqueness of the power-sharing arrangement in Zanzibar was that the system was entrenched in the constitution. The constitution was negotiated and established before the election. The theory of transformational change suggests that transformational leaders tend to have a strong personal attachment to their missions. Their absence in the course of implementation may sometimes negatively impact the transformation process, even in the context where the mission has been translated within the legal and constitutional framework. The case of Zanzibar indicates a pressing need for deepening the power-sharing deal so that it becomes people-centered rather than a mere elite project entrenched in partisan politics.

Authors: Ramia Elsy , Maasri Alain , Abdallah Jad
Published: March 2022

Background: Critical thinking (CT) is recognised as an essential component of higher education, and many academic institutions are working on improving their students’ CT skills. To date, the complex relationships between students’ ability to think critically and their age, sex, academic performance, major and prior experience taken all together have not been investigated.  
Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed to assess CT among undergraduate students from different health and non-health-related majors.   
Results: The results of this study show that the majority of students reported the ability to analyse data, employ formulas, and draw conclusions. However, integrating ideas from different disciplines and revising conclusions based on new findings remained most challenging for students. Moreover, age and academic performance were correlated with students’ CT, while no correlation was found for sex and prior degree variables.     
Conclusion: This study contributes to a growing body of literature designed to improve CT among college and higher education students.

This review aims to identify the impacts of programs on their competitiveness and analyze the relationship between the variables of said programs and their effects. Sixty-three studies (63) are identified from online databases with arithmetic means as follows: Hindawi, n = 36, 0.22%; Google Scholar, n=33, 0.20%; Scorpus, n=33, 0.20%; and Google search, n = 31, 0.19% with specific Search terms such as "upgrade program + business + impact." Articles were selected using inclusion / exclusion criteria applied first at the title and abstract level, then at the full article level Data extraction for this review was safely done in Microsoft Excel, in order to identify the action variables of said programs and the effects. Through the analysis of the dimensions that determine the structural competitiveness index (ICS) of the countries, was carried out to explain the contribution of the variables of the contextual environment, to the variables of the upgrading program and the effect of impact in terms of intensity on the observed effects. The effects identified relate to to the variables of the upgrading program and the effect of impact in terms of intensity on the observed effects. The effects identified relate to to the variables of the upgrading program and the effect of impact in terms of intensity on the observed effects. The effects identified relate to 8 indicators of positive effects grouped into: financial performance, economic performance, organizational performance, social and societal performance, with nuances on the macroeconomic impact due to the differences in the context of each country.
