Colloid cysts are benign lesions of the anterior part of the third ventricle. Surgery is the main line of treatment. Endoscopic treatment gained wide acceptance among neurosurgeons. However, open microsurgical approaches still recommended by many surgeons. Each approach had its own advantages and drawbacks. The current study designed to explore the outcome of endoscopic versus open colloid cystectomy for the colloid cyst of the third ventricle. This is a retrospective study of patients who submitted to third ventricle colloid cystectomy during a duration of 10 years. A total number of 41 patients were included (20 managed by endoscopic approach and 21 by open surgery). Files were reviewed for preoperative (clinical examination and radiological investigations), operative (e.g, operative time, the size of the cyst and additional interventions) and postoperative outcome. Both approaches were comparable regarding demographics, preoperative, operative and postoperative data, except significant reduction of operative time and total duration of hospital stay among endoscopy than open group (127.95±18.32, 5.30±1.69 vs 178.33±20.51 and 8.95±1.62 respectively). The recurrence was reported among 3 patients (7.3%) (2 in the endoscopy and 1 in the open group). Among 90.0% of endoscopy group, their neurological condition was improved compared to 95.2% of open group.

Theistic Evolution
Authors: Larmer Robert
Published: April 2022

In this paper, I explore scientific, philosophical, and theological concerns that arise from adopting theistic evolution understood as claiming that the origin and development of life can be entirely accounted for in terms of the operation of natural causes, without any need to posit direct divine intervention. I argue that theistic evolutionists’ commitment to methodological naturalism and their unjustified rejection of gap arguments suggests that their case is not nearly so strong as they suggest. I further argue that accepting theistic evolution most naturally leads to accepting a monistic physicalist account of the person that is at odds with theism’s understanding of human nature.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the relationship between investment law and state sovereignty, and then to construct national investment law politics in the future in order to advance economic development and retain independence. This research is normative by taking a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The study's findings indicate that investment is critical for economic growth and job creation. Governments throughout the world are aggressively competing to improve the business climate and so encourage investment activities, but this competition should be controlled and emphasize domestic capital, as it signals to Indonesian state leaders that investment is a priority. While the contribution of foreign funds or foreign aid is not denied in developing Indonesia's declining economy, it must first rely on domestic capabilities as a source of development funds to ensure that the existence of foreign sources of funds does not result in dependence on foreign parties and that foreign heads of funds are used for the benefit of the people's economy.KeywordsPolicy;Economic Law;Welfare;

The Wali Nanggroe Aceh Institution is a unifying institution for the Acehnese people. Still, under the Aceh government law, this institution is not given enough space to carry out Aceh's duties and responsibilities. The results of this study are as follows: First, the authority of the Aceh Wali Nanggroe Institution is one of the things to unify the Acehnese people, but in fact, this authority is not included in the program budget of the Aceh Wali Nanggroe Institution because the budgetary control that manages it is the State Civil Apparatus assigned to the secretariat of the Aceh Wali Nanggroe Institution. Second, the word non-Aceh is no longer relevant because the Aceh Qanun on the Implementation of Population Administration has explained what is categorized as Acehnese. The perspectives of several ethnic groups fully support the existence of Wali Nanggroe Aceh Institution, but some people do not agree. Third, constitutionally the Wali Nanggroe Aceh Institution is protected by the constitution as part of the specialties and privileges of the Acehnese people.
Mycotoxin Contamination in Livestock Feed and Dairy Products, with Description of their Occurrence in Mediterranean Countries
Authors: Focardi Silvano
Published: April 2022

Mycotoxins are produced by fungi that contaminate livestock feed in many parts of the World and can represent a challenge for human and animal health. The most frequent recovered fungi producing mycotoxins in dairy farms are represented by genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium. Cancerogenic properties were highlighted for mycotoxins, in particular for aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumosin, highlighting the interest in recovery methods for these mycotoxins and focusing on possible mechanisms able to avoid fungal feed contamination and mycotoxins dispersal. Contamination by mycotoxins can thus spread from feed, damage cattle dairy and threaten human health. The countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea showed consolidated traditions in cattle livestock and several studies evidenced the concern of mycotoxins contamination in cattle farms and in dairy products, representing a serious challenge for human health. Moreover, climate change and temperature increase favour fungal production of mycotoxins, thus adding important concerns for human health. This concern assumes more serious aspects if considering that the Mediterranean basin is a hotspot in terms of climate change. This mini review describes the concern of mycotoxins contamination in dairy livestock feed and in dairy products, with a focus on countries bordering the Mediterranean basin.

Perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi memberikan dampak yang besar pada sektor pendidikan. Pemanfaatan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran menjadi salah satu hal yang harus dilakukan dengan diberlakukannya pembelajaran jarak jauh pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Faktanya, meski pembelajaran dilakukan secara daring, beberapa guru masih mengandalkan penggunaan Power Point untuk menyusun bahan ajar dan sebagai media pembelajaran yang digunakan. Hal ini menjadi masalah tersendiri, utamanya bagi guru SMK pada bidang keahlian akuntansi dan keuangan lembaga, karena materi akuntansi lebih banyak membutuhkan penalaran dan pemahaman. Dengan demikian, dibutuhkan media pembelajaran yang memudahkan guru dalam menyampaikan materi akuntansi sehingga siswa juga mudah untuk memahami materi yang diajarkan. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan dengan metode pelatihan pengembangan media pembelajaran berbasis Mobile Learning Application (MLA) bagi guru. Hasil kegiatan membuktikan bahwa guru memiliki pengetahuan dan pemahaman yang meningkat dari yang awalnya memperoleh skor tes rata-rata 73.4% menjadi 81.5%. Maka dari itu, perlu adanya kegiatan pelatihan lanjutan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan guru, agar guru tidak sekedar tahu dan paham namun juga dapat mengembangkan sendiri media pembelajaran berbasis MLA.

Masalah yang sering terjadi pada nelayan yaitu bocornya kapal nelayan yang tidak diketahui oleh pemilik kapal, bila ini dibiarkan dapat mengakibatkan tenggelamnya kapal nelayan tersebut. Dari masalah tersebut muncul sebuah ide dimana penulis dapat membuat alat pendeteksi kebocoran kapal dan dapat dimonitor menggunakan SMS Gateway. Penggunaan teknologi pembangkit listrik energi terbarukan baru dapat mendorong hal ini dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat, khususnya nelayan. Solar Cell adalah alat yang dapat mengubah energi sinar matahari menjadi energi listrik dengan menggunakan prinsip efek fotovoltaik. Efek fotovoltaik mengacu pada terjadinya tegangan akibat sambungan atau kontak dua elektroda. Sistem kerja alat ini, jika ada air masuk ke lantai dasar kapal dengan ketinggian air yang sudah ditentukan dari sensor ultrasonik saat mendeteksi ketinggian air tersebut, maka pompa air akan aktif untuk segera menyedot air tersebut keluar kapal agar tidak dipenuhi oleh air yang masuk ke lantai dasar kapal supaya kapal tidak tenggelam. Manfaat dari alat ini, nelayan tidak perlu mengecek kapal secara manual jika ada air yang masuk ke lantai dasar kapal, karena kapal nelayan sudah dilengkapi dengan alat yang dapat mengirim informasi menggunakan SMS sebagai pemberitahuan kepada nelayan saat pompa penyedot air sedang menyedot air keluar dari lantai dasar kapal nelayan. Dengan demikian alat berfungsi benar.

Meningkatnya jumlah penduduk mempengaruhi jumlah sampah yang dihasilkan akibat pengaruh kegiatan rumah tangga. Partisipasi masyarakat dalam menjaga kebersihan lingkungan sangat diperlukan karena apabila partisipasi masyarakat kurang dalam hal tersebut akan membuat lingkungan menjadi tercemar khususnya penurunan kualitas air sungai akibat zat-zat yang dihasilkan oleh sampah. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah meningkatkan kualitas air sungai di sekitar Desa Gumpang, Kecamatan kartasura, serta terciptanya lingkungan hidup yang sehat. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan memasang jaring sampah pada sungai dan dengan melakukan monitoring pembuangan sampah yang sudah terjaring (pembersihan jaring). Melalui program pengabdian ini mitra turut berpartisipasi dalam peningkatan kualitas air sungai di Desa Gumpang dengan mengelola kebersihan jaring sampah. Berdasarkan hasil monitoring pada setiap minggunya jumlah masyarakat yang turut berperan aktif dalam upaya peningkatan kualitas air sungai tampak signifikan dan mengalami peningkatan. Meningkatnya partisipasi masyarakat tersebut berbanding lurus dengan tingkat kualitas air sungai yang ada di Desa Gumpang khususnya pada wilayah Pondok Baru Asri 2. Setelah dilakukannya pengelolaan jaring sampah selama 12 minggu kondisi air yang ada pada lokasi kegiatan pengabdian menjadi lebih bersih dan tidak keruh, tidak berbau, dan tidak meninggalkan endapan.
