Authors: Liu Chunli  , Zarihah Mohd Zain  , Azma Abdul Malek
Published: January 2025

Background: Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant health challenge in China, with varying treatment approaches including pharmacological interventions, lifestyle modifications, or their combination. The relative effectiveness of these treatment modalities in real-world clinical settings remains incompletely understood.
Objective: To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of pharmacological treatments alone, lifestyle interventions alone, and combined therapy in controlling blood glucose levels among T2DM patients at a hospital in Henan ,China.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 181 T2DM patients, categorized into three treatment groups: pharmacological therapy alone (n=47), lifestyle interventions alone (n=52), and combined therapy (n=82). The primary outcome was glycemic control measured by HbA1c levels. One-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey's tests was used for analysis, supplemented by Bayesian regression to assess socioeconomic influences.
Results: Combined therapy showed significantly better glycemic control (mean HbA1c=7.12%) compared to lifestyle interventions alone (mean HbA1c=8.02%, p=0.001), while the difference from pharmacological therapy alone (mean HbA1c=7.43%, p=0.27) was not statistically significant. Combined therapy achieved the highest treatment adherence rate (45.3%) compared to lifestyle interventions (28.7%) and pharmacological therapy (26.0%). Socioeconomic barriers significantly moderated treatment effectiveness (Posterior Mean = -0.25, 95% CI: [-0.41, -0.09]).
Conclusions: Combined pharmacological and lifestyle interventions demonstrated superior effectiveness in glycemic control compared to single-modality approaches. These findings support an integrated approach to T2DM management while highlighting the importance of addressing socioeconomic barriers to treatment adherence.

Loss of substance from the lower third of the leg is extremely common, most often of traumatic origin.
The management of the loss of cutaneous substances from the leg is a complex procedure due in particular to the specific anatomy of the leg segment and its lack of skin reserve, venous return problems, macro/micro-angiopathic disorders related to trauma or increasingly frequent acquired comorbidities (smoking, occlusive arterial disease of the lower limbs, diabetes, etc.). It must therefore be multidisciplinary and requires close collaboration between orthopaedic and plastic surgeons. The choice of coverage will depend on the etiology of the claim, its location and the state of the area to be covered. The treatment will follow the principle: parry, fix, cover. The evolution is favourable, considered satisfactory both aesthetically and functionally.
The objective:
The objective of our study is to highlight the particularity of skin substance losses, their epidemiological and therapeutic aspects, while highlighting the difficulty of coverage
We conducted a retrospective study of a series of 56 cases of leg covers at the CHU MOHAMMED VI DE TANGIER from the year 2022 to 2024. Several parameters were studied: age, sex, etiopathological factors, location and the therapeutic methods used

The famous Muhammadiyah figure, Buya Hamka, emphasized that the integration of religion and science is important to form a good generation. This article discusses Buya Hamka's thoughts on how science relates to religion from an Islamic perspective and how he helped nurture the young generation of Muhammadiyah. This research aims to analyze and deeply analyze Hamka's thoughts related to science and its impact on the formation of a superior Muhammadiyah generation. One of the issues raised by this research is that previous studies have not thoroughly explored Hamka's thoughts and only focused on the historical aspect. Buya Hamka's Personal and Dignity book, along with relevant journals and articles, are used in this research as a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The results show that Hamka saw religion and science as a unity that works together to guide humans towards wisdom and truth. One of Hamka's works, “Falsafah Hidup”, and “Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck”, provided inspiration for the Muhammadiyah generation to place science as a pillar of civilization. In short, Buya Hamka's ideas can still be used to address contemporary issues and maintain science-based da'wah.

Published: January 2025

This research aims to determine the effect of applying the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model through a differentiated learning approach on students' understanding and learning outcomes in the topic of circumference and area of ​​circles in class VI-A. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, where data is collected through observation, interviews, documentation and LKPD. Student Worksheets (LKPD) are used to assess student learning outcomes quantitatively. The research results show that learning with a differentiated approach can improve students' understanding of the material being taught, because students are given the opportunity to choose a way of learning that suits their individual styles and needs. Apart from that, the application of the PBL model has also been proven to increase students' motivation, active participation and enthusiasm for learning. The results of the LKPD indicate a significant increase in student learning outcomes in the topic of circumference and area of ​​a circle. Differentiated learning with the PBL model has a positive impact, not only on learning outcomes, but also on student involvement in the learning process, creating an atmosphere that is more inclusive and relevant to the needs of each student. Thus, the PBL model with a differentiated approach can be an effective strategy in improving student learning outcomes in mathematics learning.
Economic production quantity model involving repair, waste disposal, electricity tariff, and emissions tax
Authors: Utama Dana Marsetiya , Lubis Imtiaz Habib
Published: January 2025

This research aims to develop a new model for a comprehensive Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) by considering repair processes, waste disposal, electricity tariffs, and emission taxes to optimize inventory management decisions in two shops. The first shop is responsible for providing new manufacturing and remanufacturing products required by the second shop, which focuses on inventorying finished products to meet demand. The main objective of the proposed Model is to minimize total cost. The Model is formulated as Integer Non-Linear Programming (INLP) to represent the complexity of production and inventory decisions. This study applies a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach run using Microsoft Excel software with the Solver feature To optimize the solution of the proposed Model. Sensitivity analysis shows that while increases in electricity tariffs and emissions taxes significantly increase the total costs incurred by firms, these factors do not directly reduce total energy consumption or carbon emissions. Instead, increased costs generally result in smaller optimal production batch sizes, which does not necessarily translate into reduced energy use, as operational energy requirements remain constant. Our findings emphasize the delicate balance between cost components and energy use, highlighting that increased electricity costs and emissions do not directly lead to overall cost savings or improved energy efficiency.
The Incidence of Volatile Anesthesia Porcine Stress Syndrome in Pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) Gives Implications for Physiology during Anesthesia
Authors: Corrigan James , Mares John , Hutzler Justin , Nonneman Dan , Burmeister David M.
Published: January 2025

Pigs are extensively used for biomedical research as animal models given their similarities to humans including size, arterial capacity, and cutaneous structure. While their size also allows for the use of clinically available anesthesia equipment (for example, endotracheal tubes and ventilators), anecdotes exist with respect to stress reactions after exposure to volatile anesthetics. Over 3 mo at our institution, 11 pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) exposed to isoflurane anesthesia during 2 research protocols were euthanized after exhibiting clinical signs of malignant hyperthermia, including hyperthermia, hypercapnia, skeletal muscle rigidity, dyspnea, tachycardia, and hypotension. This group was composed of intact Yorkshire/Landrace crosses (68 to 91 kg) purchased from a research breeder. While malignant hyperthermia is caused by a mutation in ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1), another unnamed porcine stress syndrome is caused by a dystrophin defect. We analyzed the incidence of the RYR1 mutation and a dystrophin variant in 9 of the originally clinically affected pigs and in 56 subsequent pigs. All animals tested negative for the RYR1 mutation, while the dystrophin variant was found in 2 out of 7 clinical (28.6%) and 22 out of 46 (47.8%) subsequently tested female pigs. Creatine kinase, indicative of muscle damage, was slightly elevated at baseline in dystrophin variant-positive carriers, albeit not significantly. However, for the original clinically affected pigs, the increase in body temperature while under anesthesia was significantly greater in dystrophin variant-positive carriers (7.9 ± 0.8 °C) compared with noncarriers (5.2 ± 0.6 °C, P = 0.046). Taken together, we describe the suspected involvement of a dystrophin variant as one of the genetic etiologies in an unnamed condition that has been anecdotally experienced by pig researchers but not reported. We propose naming this condition volatile anesthesia porcine stress syndrome (VAPSS), which is an umbrella term that includes multiple genetic origins, the most well-known of which is malignant hyperthermia stress syndrome in pigs. Identifying other etiologies for VAPSS has implications for genetic and clinical screening to improve welfare in pigs bred for biomedical research and agricultural purposes.

This study aims to analyze the determinants that affect the satisfaction of BPJS participants with outpatient installation services at Royal Prima Marelan Hospital. Patient satisfaction is an important indicator in assessing the quality of health services, especially in the National Health Insurance (JKN) program organized by BPJS. The research method used is observational analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 232 respondents selected through the purposive sampling method, namely BPJS participant patients who visited the outpatient installation of the Royal Prima Marelan Hospital. The variables analyzed included membership status, perception of service procedures (registration), perception of human resource services (health workers), perception of drug services (pharmacy), and perception of facilities. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire that included the dimensions of these services. Data analysis involves univariate tests, bivariates with chi-square tests, and multivariates to determine dominant factors. The results showed that 83.3% of respondents were satisfied with the service, while the rest felt less satisfied. The factors that had a significant relationship with patient satisfaction were perception of service procedures (p=0.004), perception of human resource services (p=0.039), perception of drug services (p=0.000), and perception of facilities (p=0.011). The perception of drug services has the greatest influence on the satisfaction of BPJS participants. These results suggest that the accuracy, availability, and ease of access of medications greatly contribute to satisfaction rates. The conclusion of this study is that improving the quality of significant service factors, especially related to drug services and facilities, needs to be a priority for hospitals to increase the satisfaction of BPJS participants. This research is expected to be a reference for policymakers in designing strategies to improve health services, especially at the Royal Prima Marelan Hospital.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery is one of the most common treatments for CAD, aiming to reduce morbidity and improve patient quality of life. However, extended stays in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) post-CABG can negatively affect patient outcomes and increase healthcare resource burdens. This study aims to identify the risk factors that significantly contribute to prolonged ICU stays in post-CABG patients at the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 4564 patients who underwent CABG surgery between January 2017 and August 2024. Factors such as age, renal failure, stroke, cardiogenic shock, ejection fraction, and use of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) were analyzed. Bivariate analysis was performed using Stata 15.1 version through the Chi-square test, resulting in P-Value and Confidence Interval, and followed by multivariate logistic regression to determine significant predictors. Among the patients, 747 (16.3%) experienced prolonged ICU stays (≥72 hours). Significant risk factors for prolonged ICU stay included age ≥59 years (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.16–1.71), history of renal failure (OR 2.39, 95% CI 1.74–3.28), preoperative stroke (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.38–2.48), cardiogenic shock (OR 13.9, 95% CI 5.42–35.64), low ejection fraction (OR 2.66, 95% CI 1.33–3.73), and IABP use (OR 36.34, 95% CI 26.20–50.40).

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE: A NEW APPROACH TO RESOLVING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Authors: Jidatul Haz M. Aaz , Wathoni Lalu Muhammad Nurul , Zulkarnain Zulkarnain , Maghfurrahman Muhammad , Baldan Haramain Fathur
Published: January 2025

Domestic Violence (a.k.a KDRT) has been identified as a form of crime that falls into the category of "hidden crime". Handling through the conventional criminal justice system often faces serious obstacles, especially because victims often experience deep trauma. In addition, when these cases are presented in court, the justice obtained is often unsatisfactory for both the perpetrator and the victim. As an alternative, the Restorative Justice approach emerged as an attempt to provide a more holistic solution. Restorative justice focuses on returning losses to victims, improving the perpetrator's behavior, and providing opportunities for perpetrators to reintegrate into society without experiencing stereotypes. In the Indonesian context, this research aims to explore more deeply the implementation of restorative justice, including its legal basis, procedures, and carry out analysis using the concept of legal pluralism proposed by Werner Menski. This research is normative juridical in nature, with data collection carried out through documentation studies and interviews. Research findings show that the implementation of restorative justice in Indonesia is supported by a strong legal foundation. However, there are still obstacles in accommodating the three elements of legal pluralism proposed by Menski. In other words, even though restorative justice has been formally recognized, its implementation still needs to be improved to more effectively achieve the desired restorative goals.

The death penalty in Islamic law holds significant importance as a form of justice for serious crimes such as intentional murder, adultery by a married person, robbery, apostasy, and rebellion. From the perspective of Islamic law, the death penalty is not only intended to serve as a deterrent but also as a means to uphold justice for the victim, the victim’s family, and society at large. While there are views that associate the death penalty with violations of human rights, in Islamic law, its application is based on the principle of justice, which must be proportionate to the crime committed, while considering the public benefit. The application of the death penalty, whether as hudud, qishash, or ta'zir, demonstrates that justice in Islam is not only retributive but also preventive, aimed at maintaining social balance. This study aims to examine the application of the death penalty in Islamic law from the perspectives of justice and human rights. The findings show that the death penalty serves as an instrument of justice that protects the rights of society and victims from the threat of serious crimes, while upholding the principles of justice and public benefit in its implementation.

This study examines the effectiveness of using the English translation of the Quran as an educational medium to enhance vocabulary acquisition among tenth-grade students at Babul Khaer Islamic Boarding School, Bulukumba. By applying a pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, the study aims to explore vocabulary gains facilitated through the contextual guesswork technique. This approach not only aids students in understanding word meanings by referencing both Indonesian and English translations but also supports character education by incorporating moral values in language learning. Results reveal significant improvement, with the average vocabulary score increasing from 49.64 in the pre-test to 70.16 in the post-test. Statistical analysis supports these findings, with a t-test result of 13.31 exceeding the t-table value of 2.074, confirming the alternative hypothesis that Quranic English translation can significantly improve vocabulary. The study suggests that the Quran’s English translation serves as an effective medium for vocabulary acquisition and offers valuable insights for enhancing vocabulary improvement in EFL contexts. These findings contribute to the educational media approach in Islamic boarding school settings and provide a foundation for future research in similar environments
