Abstract

The problem that arises in Cibitung Tengah Village is the lack of educators working in this village. Most of these educators were not coming from early childhood education background. The limited access to the information had caused ECE teachers and tutors to not understand the 2013 ECE curriculum. Limited knowledge about the 2013 ECE curriculum had an impact on the lack of knowledge of teachers and tutors in making learning devices. Learning devices consist of RPPH, media, evaluation and learning assessment and must be made by the educators before conducting and starting learning activities. Learning devices were an important component in organizing learning activities. This aimed to improve the quality of education which is the goal of this nation. The solution was training and awareness and dissemination of THE 2013 ECE curriculum. In addition, improving the quality of ECE teachers and tutors in making learning devices can be improved. The target to be achieved through the Community Service Activities was an increase in the knowledge of ECE teachers and tutors regarding the 2013 ECE curriculum and also how to make the right learning devices for early childhood learning activities.

Abstrak

Permasalahan yang muncul di Desa Cibitung Tengah ini adalah minimnya tenaga pendidik yang bertugas di Desa ini. Sebagian besar tenaga pendidik ini bukanlah berlatar belakang tentang pendidikan anak usia dini. Keterbatasan akses informasi menyebabkan guru dan tutor PAUD belum memahami mengenai kurikulum PAUD tahun 2013. Keterbatasan pengetahuan mengenai kurikulum PAUD 2013 berdampak pada minimnya pengetahuan guru dan tutor dalam membuat perangkat pembelajaran. Perangkat pembelajaran terdiri dari RPPH, media, evaluasi dan asesmen pembelajaran harus dibuat oleh tenaga pendidik sebelum melakukan dan memulai kegiatan pembelajaran. Perangkat pembelajaran adalah komponen penting dalam menyelenggarakan kegiatan pembelajaran. Hal ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan yang merupakan cita-cita bangsa ini. Solusinya adalah pelatihan dan penyadaran serta sosialisasi mengenai kurikulum PAUD tahun 2013. Selain itu, peningkatan kualitas guru dan tutor PAUD dalam membuat perangkat pembelajaran dapat ditingkatkan. Target yang ingin dicapai melalui Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini adalah adanya peningkatan pengetahuan guru dan tutor PAUD mengenai kurikulum PAUD tahun 2013 dan juga cara pembuatan perangkat pembelajaran yang tepat untuk kegiatan pembelajaran anak usia dini.

Authors: Ramanujam Padmapriya , Poorni Saravanan , Srinivasan Manali Ramakrishnan , Sureshbabu Nivedhitha Malli
Published: January 2019

The prevalence of oral diseases is increasing and is becoming a major concern in the society. Treatment without prevention is simply unsustainable. One such preventable disease is dental caries. Several strategies for caries prevention have been developed over the years. Bacteriotherapy is one potential method. With better understanding on the importance of a well balanced oral microbial environment for maintaining good dental health, probiotics has gained great momentum in dentistry. The World Health Organization along with the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations defined probiotics as “Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”. Several probiotic strains have been identified for caries prevention through various experimental studies. However, identifying the right vehicle for administration of probiotics on everyday basis is the need of the hour. Toothpastes, mouthrinses, powders, tablets, lozenges, chewing gums are some probiotic vehicles that have been studied. This paper would throw light on the microbial strains, mechanism of action, forms and future for probiotics in caries prevention.
Kafka e o elemento mítico da lei moderna: um estudo a partir da leitura de Peter Fitzpatrick
Authors: Taxi Ricardo Araujo Dib
Published: January 2019

O artigo busca apresentar a leitura de Kafka desenvolvida pelo filósofo australiano Peter Fitpzatrick, inserindo-a no contexto de sua reflexão crítica aos fundamentos míticos da lei moderna. Apresentando brevemente pontos centrais da teoria de Fitzpatrick, o artigo busca abordar o potencial de novelas e contos kafkianos na desconstrução de alguns dos paradigmas que animam a concepção moderna de lei. Mais ainda, buscar-se-á mostrar que a desconstrução dos elementos míticos da lei tem um papel emancipatório, qual seja o de trazer à tona os elementos de racismo, imperialismo, colonialismo e violência que se escondem sob o discurso tradicional de um direito racional.
Fare la storia dei margini: l'imperativo categorico di “Memorial do convento” e “La vie des hommes infâmes”
Authors: Fersini Maria Pina
Published: January 2019

O presente trabalho analisa o peculiar conceito de “história” que emerge da leitura conjunta de Memorial do convento (Saramago, 1982) e La vie des hommes infâmes (Foucault, 1977) Seu objetivo é demonstrar como ambos os textos instauram as bases para o trânsito de uma “historiografia diacrônica”, que concebe o devir histórico como sucessão externa de eventos, a uma “sincrônica”, que reconstrói determinada época a partir da complexa trama da relação interna entre o observador e o objeto observado. Dentro desta nova moldura, critica os confrontos da historiografia tradicional, revela como seja ainda possível, e necessário, restituir à memória a lembrança de fragmentos de vida inexistentes nas páginas da “história oficial”.
Impressões conexas: ensaio sobre espetaculização da violência – das degolas nos presídios ao “Blade Runner”
Authors: Axt Gunter
Published: January 2019

Este breve ensaio pretende debater indícios de algumas conexões difusas entre a cultura de massas na voragem contemporânea e explosões de violência extrema, tentando, na medida do possível, compreender possíveis lastros históricos. Como as cenas de tortura, decapitações e esquartejamentos parecem ter saltado das telas de cinema para a nossa vida cotidiana a real, talvez resida aí um bom gancho de partida para essa reflexão, muito mais intuitiva do que propriamente acadêmica, até porque a história do presente não se pode fazer se não por meio de ensaios críticos. Assim, o texto transita de filmes de terror, como O albergue, a grandes romances, como O último dia de um condenado, de Victor Hugo, procurando identificar conexões para uma estética cultural da dimensão penal.
Entre Dom Quixote e Sancho Pança: “espelho dos príncipes” (ou “speculum principis”) cervantino, uma interpretação possível
Authors: Bremer Ligia Maria
Published: January 2019

A obra de Miguel de Cervantes, Dom Quixote de La Mancha, apresenta inúmeras possibilidades de interpretações, em especial entre o direito e a literatura, pois a temática do direito e da justiça é exposta de forma crítica por meio de seus episódios. Durante a Idade Média a pessoa do rei era quem guardava a ordem jurídica. Foi nesse período, a partir do século XII, que se fundamentou o princípio de ratio status que procedeu na submissão do poder à ordem ético-religiosa, pressupondo o respeito à lei, observando a ordem justa. O objetivo do trabalho é analisar os conselhos dados por Dom Quixote a Sancho Pança antes de ele ir governar a Ilha de Barataria. Para tanto, se fez um levantamento bibliográfico destacando algumas obras contemporâneas ao texto cervantino. Buscou-se, além da temática “espelhos dos príncipes,” a intertextualidade que possa haver com a novela cavalheiresca traçando um paralelo entre elas. Ao realizar o estudo constatou-se o quanto o direito está presente na obra de Cervantes. Os personagens Dom Quixote e Sancho Pança são representações de sujeitos de direito assemelhando-se ao instrutor e ao juiz daquele período.
Risk factors for bradycardia and desaturation in infants undergoing ophthalmological surgeries: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Jiang Bailin , Yao Lan , Zhao Hong , Liang Jianhong , Feng Yi
Published: January 2019

Background: Perioperative cardiac and respiratory adverse events remain major pediatric morbidity and mortality especially for children less than 1 year old. Physical status, anesthetic management and surgical profile are three main facets of perioperative setting and need to be investigated to identify useful predictors for perioperative adverse events in this population of fragile infants.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, all infants undergoing general anesthesia for ophthalmological surgeries at Peking University People’s Hospital, Beijing, China from November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2017. Physical status, anesthesia and surgical management were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis and component matrix to explore risk factors for bradycardia and postoperative desaturation, the most commonly seen pediatric anesthesia related adverse events.
Results: After the 12 months, 350 cases were included, among whom 71 infants underwent two surgeries required by their ophthalmological conditions. The median post conceptual age at the time of surgery was 50 (42, 63) weeks. Bradycardia (31/350, 8.9%) and postoperative desaturation (36/350, 10.3%) were identified as major cardiac and respiratory adverse events. Preoperative Atropine, intubation and bigger body weight would prevent patients suffering from bradycardia, while longer duration of anesthesia was a risk factor for bradycardia. Low body weight was also a risk factor for postoperative desaturation. Body weight cut-off point identified was 3.15kg, which meant that, infants who were lighter than 3.15 kg, the chance of postoperative desaturation was significantly higher than who are heavier than 3.15kg (27.8% vs 4.2%, P=0.000).
Conclusion: This study found that longer duration of anesthesia was related with a higher incidence of bradycardia and low body weight is a predictor for postoperative desaturation.
Funding: This study was supported by Research and Development Grant of Peking University People's Hospital, RDC2012-12.

Supervised exercise protocol for lower limbs in subjects with chronic venous disease: an evaluator-blinded randomized clinical trial
Authors: Volpe Esther Tinoco , Resqueti Vanessa Regiane , Silva Ana Aline Marcelino , Gualdi Lucien Peroni , Fregonezi Guilherme Augusto de Freitas
Published: January 2019

Background: Triceps surae muscle changes and range of motion decrease resulting from pathophysiological changes seen in subjects with CVI leading to important impairment of functional activities related to lower limbs in these individuals. Several studies have shown the benefits of exercise therapy focusing on triceps surae muscle strengthening to improve calf muscle pumping. Randomized studies using exercise programmes for lower limbs in subjects with CVI are still rare in the literature, leading to a weak indication of this modality to treat this population. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a supervised exercise programme to improve functional capacity and the quality of life in individuals with CVI.
Methods: This is an evaluator-blinded randomized clinical trial. Individuals will be randomly allocated in two groups: 1) treatment group (TG), in which they will be submitted to a supervised exercise programme for lower limbs; 2) control group (CG), in which the same treatment will be maintained but without the performance of any supervised exercise modality. Participants from both groups will participate in a health education speech. The study will compare the evaluation and reevaluation results between subjects submitted to the exercise programme and the control group by the following outcomes: range of motion, calf muscle endurance by the heel rise test, physical capacity by the step test (ST6), and quality of life by the VEINES-QOL.
Discussion: Calf muscle function can be improved in people with venous disease with significant improvements in functional capacity, supervised exercise programme will provide much needed information on management of this chronic disease to promote health and independence in this population.
Trial registration: The study was registered on the Brazilian Clinical Trials Database (REBEC) (RBR57xtk7). The results will be disseminated by scientific events presentations and publication in peer reviewed journals.
Keywords: Exercise, Resistance Training, Exercise Therapy, Venous Insufficiency, Randomized Controlled Trial, Rehabilitation.
Results of Combined Endocyclophotocoagulation and Phacoemulsification in Patients of African Descent: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Waldman Corey W. , Desai Manishi , Rahman Effie Zhu , Eliassi-Rad Babak
Published: January 2019

Background: To evaluate the outcomes of combined endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP) and phacoemusification in regards to vision, refraction, intraocular pressure, medication dependence, and complications in patients of African descent at a tertiary care glaucoma practice.
Methods: A retrospective chart review including all cases of ECP combined with phacoemulsification cataract surgery from October 2015 to March 2017 was performed. Exclusion criteria consisted of patients who were not of African descent and patients with < 1 month follow up. The primary outcome measured was IOP at the latest follow-up.
Results: 32 eyes of 29 patients were included in the study. Average IOP decreased from 17.30 ±6.30 mmHg preoperatively to 15.88 ±4.23 mmHg at the last post-operative visit (p = 0.301). 2/8 patients who did not demonstrate a difference in pre- and post-operative IOP changes were able to be weaned off all of their IOP lowering medications. The average follow-up was 5.05 ± 4.08 months with a range of 1 to 18 months. The average number of medications used per patient for IOP control decreased from 2.59 ±1.01 preoperatively to 1.97 ±1.38 (p = 0.045). Average visual acuity improved from 20/50 preoperatively to an average of 20/25 (p = 0.002). The post-operative complication rate was low.
Conclusions: ECP combined with phacoemulsification can be effective at decreasing IOP lowering medication dependence in patients of African descent while also demonstrating variable IOP outcomes. While some patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and prior glaucoma surgery may experience a robust response to this treatment, others may not. We found that combined ECP and phacoemulsification can lead to a significantly decreased dependence on IOP lowering drops, with some patients demonstrating complete independence from drops following surgery. Although there was not a significant decrease in IOP post-operatively when analyzed collectively, larger studies may be able to find such an association. Combined ECP and phacoemulsification has been shown to be a safe combination in patients with refractive glaucoma and may be considered if a patient desires less dependence on IOP lowering drops once other first-line methods have failed, or as a bridge between conservative and more definitive surgical treatment.
Keywords: Endocyclophotocoagulation, phacoemusification, African decent
Two distinguishable impurities in BEC: squeezing and entanglement of two Bose polarons
Authors: Charalambous Christos , Garcia-March Miguel A. , Lampo Aniello , Mehboud Mohammad , Lewenstein Maciej
Published: January 2019

We study entanglement and squeezing of two uncoupled impurities
immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We treat them as two quantum
Brownian particles interacting with a bath composed of the Bogoliubov
modes of the condensate. The Langevin-like quantum stochastic equations
derived exhibit memory effects. We study two scenarios: (i) In the
absence of an external potential, we observe sudden death of
entanglement; (ii) In the presence of an external harmonic potential,
entanglement survives even at the asymptotic time limit. Our study
considers experimentally tunable parameters.
Adiabatic state distribution using anti-ferromagnetic spin systems
Authors: Groenland Koen
Published: January 2019

Transporting quantum information is an important prerequisite for
quantum computers. We study how this can be done in Heisenberg-coupled
spin networks using adiabatic control over the coupling strengths. We
find that qudits can be transferred and entangled pairs can be created
between distant sites of bipartite graphs with a certain balance between
the maximum spin of both parts, extending previous results that were
limited to linear chains. The transfer fidelity in a small star-shaped
network is numerically analysed, and possible experimental
implementations are discussed.
Cristianismos em Região de Fronteira: Trânsitos, Tensões e Reconfigurações Religiosas
Authors: Da Silva Anaxsuell Fernando , Procópio Carlos Eduardo Pinto
Published: January 2019

A região conhecida como Tríplice Fronteira, na América do Sul, chama atenção pela sua qualitativa diversidade religiosa. Ao lado das expressões do crer e do sentir relacionadas aos católicos e evangélicos, ainda majoritários, se perfilam diversificadas práticas religiosas. De maneira que os bairros e ruas das cidades fronteiriças, Ciudad del Este (PY), Puerto Iguaçu (AR) e Foz do Iguaçu (BRA), fazem desta região um espaço de conflito e de trânsito religioso privilegiado para pensar as reconfigurações religiosas na América Latina, de modo particular no Sul do continente americano. As fortes inter-relações socioculturais se retroalimentam do fluxo intenso de pessoas e bens materiais/simbólicos, complexificando as matrizes religiosas cristãs na região. Neste sentido, este artigo busca discutir o modo como o cristianismo – notadamente os católicos e evangélicos – tem se organizado e se mantido nesse cenário religioso dinâmico e multiforme. Ao longo desse percurso pretende caracterizar as especificidades das distintas manifestações de crença/devoção/práticas da/na região, ao mesmo tempo em que buscará configurar o contexto sócio-histórico de surgimento dos referidos grupos religiosos. Ao fim, espera-se que esteja disponível um quadro tanto etnográfico quanto analítico do cristianismo na região da tríplice fronteira.Palavras-chave: Fronteira. Religião. Dinâmica Social.
A persuasão em prol do desenvolvimento humano nos documentos encomendados pelas Nações Unidas: uma estratégia política e ideológica viável?
Authors: Rezende Maria José de
Published: January 2019

Os Relatórios do Desenvolvimento Humano (RDHs) encomendados anualmente, desde 1990, pelas Nações Unidas, têm elaborado e divulgado um conjunto de narrativas formadoras tanto de diagnósticos quanto de prescrições estratégicas que se difunde como suscitador de políticas e de ações capazes de gerar, para as populações mais pobres, melhorias em renda, escolarização, saúde, habitação, saneamento e possibilidade de acesso aos direitos humanos. Parte-se do pressuposto de que esses documentos, ao serem analisados em suas principais propostas, estão voltados para a construção de um processo de persuasão da necessidade de que Estados, governantes e organizações da sociedade civil encampem, de modo crescente, em suas políticas, as propostas de desenvolvimento humano. Neste artigo, demonstrar-se- -á que esse exercício de persuasão, construído por meio das muitas narrativas construtoras dos documentos, pode ser lido tanto como estratégia política quanto como ideologia.Palavras-chaves: Desenvolvimento Humano.

A falsificação do jornal católico O São Paulo no período de redemocratização brasileira (1982): perspectivas e oposições
Authors: Lanza Fabio , Neves Júnior José Wilson Assis , Rodrigues Raíssa Regina Brugiato
Published: January 2019

Esta pesquisa realizou uma análise da edição falsificada do jornal católico “O São Paulo”, ocorrida em 1982, ano no qual estava em curso a abertura política no país, buscando uma interpretação das reflexões de seus autores. O método utilizado foi a análise com fontes documentais, orientada por categorias analíticas. A partir das elaborações de Karl Mannheim sobre estilos de pensamento e visões de mundo, compreendeu-se que se tratava de uma tentativa de comunicação com os leitores do semanário, contestando suas publicações anteriores e apresentando perspectivas que mantinham diálogos com formas de pensamento pró-ditadura militar. Apreenderam-se, também, na edição “Mea Culpa”, diferentes ideais político-ideológicos que visavam à articulação política conjunta para combater e desqualificar elementos do catolicismo libertador vinculados ao “O São Paulo”.Palavras-Chave: Pensamento Político Brasileiro.

Duas reformas e “dois” discursos: O PSDB entre as reformas da Previdência dos governos FHC e Lula
Authors: Freitas Felipe Corral
Published: January 2019

A troca de posição institucional/administrativa, de situação para oposição, bem como a proximidade entre duas reformas na Previdência, a realizada durante o governo FHC (PSDB), aprovada em 1998, e a realizada durante o governo Lula (PT), aprovada em 2003, colocaram o PSDB num contexto político diferente até então: ser oposição e ter de apreciar uma “nova” proposta de reforma na Previdência semelhante e ampliada a realizada quando o partido era situação/governo. Em vista disso, o objetivo deste artigo consiste em identificar e compreender os argumentos dos deputados peessedebistas em relação às reformas da Previdência realizadas nos governos FHC e Lula, com o intuito de verificar as formações discursivas e apontar suas variações num contexto mais amplo. Para esse fim, foram utilizados os aspectos teóricos e metodológicos da teoria do discurso de Laclau e Mouffe. Entendemos que nesse contexto específico entre reformas ficou evidenciada uma divergência entre os objetivos pragmáticos do partido e sua posição ideológica. Todavia, quando analisados seus discursos, verificamos continuidades ideológicas.Palavras-chave: PSDB. Teoria do Discurso. Reforma da Previdência.

Published: January 2019

O artigo trata do contexto social do uso de drogas a partir da análise das contribuições de Howard Becker, Norman Zinberg e Jean-Paul Grund. Estes três autores enfatizam, de modo sucessivo e cumulativo, a importância do grupo de pares, do propósito de uso, dos rituais e regras, da disponibilidade da droga e, finalmente, da estrutura de vida do usuário sobre a qualidade e consequências do consumo de substâncias psicoativas. Suas contribuições teóricas chamam atenção para a importância dos processos de aprendizagem social, mecanismos de mercado e regulação governamental da oferta, além dos compromissos, obrigações e responsabilidades assumidas em ambientes socioeconômicos e culturais diversos. Seguindo esta perspectiva, argumenta-se que todos esses fatores devem ser considerados na pesquisa e análise do uso de substâncias.Palavras-chave: Uso de drogas. Contexto social. Propósito de uso.

An Herbal H2 Blocker in Melasma Treatment
Authors: Mahjour Marjan , Khoushabi Arash
Published: January 2019

Background:

Melasma is a skin pigmentation disorder that remains resistant to available therapies.
The exact cause of melasma is unknown. Histamine is an inflammatory factor. Its involvement in
pigmentation is obscure. The aim of this study is to introduce an herbal antihistamine H2 receptor which is
effective in these disorders.

Methods:

This is a review study by searching the electronic databases and also Persian Medicine books,
from 2000 to 2018 by the keywords such as H2 antagonist, H2 blocker and melasma.

Results:

According to the researched studies, histamine can induce melanogenesis and melasma after a series
of stages in the body. Also, Histamine, through receptors 2, triggers melasma. Therefore, it can be said
that antihistamine H2 receptor can be effective in melasma. Considering chemical antihistamine, H2 receptors
have side effects, such as digestive problems, H2 antagonists can be used in the treatment of diseases
such as dyspepsia but they have multiple complications. On the other hand, there is an herbal H2 antagonist
that can be useful for melasma due to having some special properties.

Conclusion:

Herbal H2 blockers should be noted in melasma treatment along with the topical drugs.

Published: January 2019

The paper describes the synthesis of quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives employing
completely green methods such as the use of water as solvent and of microwave irradiation for heating.
The prepared molecules were examined for bactericidal and antifungal behavior and two of the tested
compounds showed reasonably good antimicrobial activity. The biological activity results were further
corroborated by fluorescence microscopy and by evaluating their time-dependent bactericidal behavior.
Two of the most potent compounds were then subjected to docking against DNA gyrase protein (PDB
ID: 2XCT) showing possible interactions responsible for the potency of these compounds. Also, an
SAR analysis was proposed based on the results obtained.

Authors: Chehade Leila , Jaafar Zeinab Amanda , El Masri Dana , Zmerly Hassan , Kreidieh Dima , Tannir Hana , Itani Leila , El Ghoch Marwan
Published: January 2019

Background:

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease, considered the
most common inflammatory articular disease among the general population. However, not only the
joints are affected; rheumatoid arthritis also has an extra-articular manifestation. As for many other
chronic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis may be exacerbated by poorer lifestyle choices. In fact, recent
studies emphasize the role of nutrition and physical activity in this disease.

Aim:

In the current paper, we aim to describe lifestyle modifications based on diet and physical activity
and other recommendations that seem to improve the clinical management and the disease
outcome of Rheumatoid arthritis.

Results:

A three-component lifestyle modification programme has been considered based on: (i) A
low-fat low-sodium Mediterranean diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts and poor in
sugar-sweetened beverages, red and processed meat and trans fats, and the supplementation with
omega-3 fatty acids, non-essential amino acids and probiotics, (ii) An appropriate physical activity
programme based on an active daily lifestyle, aerobic exercise and resistance training and (iii) Adequate
sleep hygiene and smoking reduction/cessation, that seems to have positive effects in terms of
disease progression and related outcomes.

Conclusion:

Lifestyle modification programme should be considered as the basis of any treatment,
(i.e., pharmacological treatment), in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Evaluation of Serum Calprotectin Level and Disease Activity in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Aghdashi Mir Amir , Seyedmardani Seyedmostafa , Ghasemi Sholeh , Khodamoradi Zohre
Published: January 2019

Background:

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the most common type of chronic inflammatory
arthritis with unknown etiology marked by a symmetric, peripheral polyarthritis. Calprotectin
also can be used as a biomarker of disease activity in inflammatory arthritis and other autoimmune
diseases.

Objective:

In this study, we evaluated the association between serum calprotectin level and severity
of RA activity.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 44 RA patients with disease flare-up. Serum
samples were obtained from all patients to measure calprotectin, ESR, CRP prior to starting the
treatment and after treatment period in the remission phase. Based on Disease Activity Score 28
(DAS28), disease activity was calculated.

Results:

Of 44 RA patients, 9(20.5%) were male and 35(79.5%) were female. The mean age of our
cases was 53±1.6 years. Seventeen (38.6%) patients had moderate DAS28 and 27(61.4%) had high
DAS28. The average level of calprotectin in the flare-up phase was 347.12±203.60 ng/ml and
188.04±23.58 ng/ml in the remission phase. We did not find any significant association between
calprotectin and tender joint count (TJC; P=0.22), swollen joint count (SJC; P=0.87), and general
health (GH; P=0.59), whereas significant associations were found between the calprotectin level
and ESR (p=0.001) and DAS28 (p=0.02). The average calprotectin level in moderate DAS28
(275.21±217.96 ng/ml) was significantly lower than that in high DAS28 (392.4±183.88 ng/ml)
(p=0.05).

Conclusion:

We showed that the serum level of calprotectin can be a useful and reliable biomarker
in RA activity and its severity. It also can predict treatment response.

Published: January 2019

Introduction:

Hemodialysis stands out as an eligible treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease. The subsequent inflammatory process resulting from this disease and hemodialysis per se is exacerbated in this therapy. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that can participate in the inhibition of pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory processes and could be considered a measurement that indicates the progression of chronic kidney disease and inflammation.

Objective:

The present study investigated selenemia in hemodialysis patients of the ABC region of São Paulo and aimed to establish the correlation between an inflammatory marker and selenemia in this conditions disease.

Methods:

This is an observational cross-sectional study of the Faculdade de Medicina do ABC in patients submitted to hemodialysis three times a week for at least six months. The eligible group composed of 21 patients, who filled out forms and underwent biochemical tests (colorimetric enzyme methods, flow cytometer, turbidimetric method and mass spectrometry).

Results:

The study population showed, women (70%), men (30%) with a mean age of 47 ± 17 years, Caucasians (36%) and non-Caucasian (64%), hypertensive (68%), smokers (53%) and non-smokers (64%). There was a hegemonic prevalence of systolic arterial hypertension (SAH) 68.1% in relation to diabetes mellitus (DM) (50%). Pre and post hemodialysis (HD) selenemia showed statistical significance, which did not occur with Creactive protein. There was a predominance of females in our sample; the pre- and post- HD selenemia were within the normal range of the reference values; there was a statistically significant correlation between pre and post-HD selenemia; there was no correlation with statistical significance between values of pre and post-HD C-reactive protein.

Conclusion:

Our data showed that there was no direct relationship between pre- and post- HD inflammation and pre- and post-HD selenemia.

Akankah Pemerintah Daerah Bangkrut karena Kenaikan Gaji Pegawai Negeri Sipil Daerah?
Authors: Waluyo Indarto
Published: January 2019

Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PNS) mempunyai tiga peran dalam kehidupan bernegara. Peran tersebut adalah PNS sebagai Abdi Negara, Abdi Masyarakat, serta Abdi Pemerintah, Sebagai imbal jasanya, pemerintah memberikan gaji dan tunjangan kepada PNS yang dibayarkan setiap bulan. Dewasa ini, jumlah PNS di daerah dan besaran gaji yang semakin bertambah menjadi beban tersendiri bagi daerah. Belanja gaji pegawai yang dianggarkan dari dana alokasi umum (DAU) juga semakin bertambah porsinya. Di beberapa daerah porsi belanja pegawai mencapai lebih dari 70% dari APBD-nya. Bila hal tersebut dibiarkan, maka dikhawatirkan beberapa pemerintah daerah lama kelamaan akan mengalami kebangkrutan, karena APBD habis hanya untuk membayar gaji pegawai.Beberapa hal yang diduga menjadi penyebab adalah 1) Meningkatnya jumlah dan besaran gaji pegawai, 2) Kebebasan pemberian tunjangan pegawai, 3) Formula penghitungan DAU yang tidak mendorong efisiensi, 4) Sistem Rekrutrnen PNS di daerah, 5) Tidak Adanya Rasio Ideal Jumlah Pegawai, 6) Pernekaran Wilayah.Untuk itu diperlukan usaha yang sungguh-sungguh dan riil dari pemerintah. Reformasi birokrasi dipandang sebagai langkah penting untuk mengatasinya. Reformasi birokrasi meliputi ; 1) Moratorim PNS di daerah, 2) Revisi formula penghitungan DAU, 3) Peningkatan Pendapatan Asli Daerah.
Moratorium Rekrutmen CPNS dalam Kerangka Reformasi Birokrasi

Besarnya jumlah PNS di Indonesia berimplikasi pada peningkatan beban anggaran negara maupun anggaran daerah. Dalam APBN tahun 2011, anggaran pembangunan hanya tersisa 12 persen dari total anggaran, sedangkan 61 persen digunakan untuk gaji pegawai. Kemenkeu bahkan mencatat ada 124 daerah yang belanja pegawainya menghabiskan 60 persen lebih APBD, atau jika dirinci ada 16 daerah yang menggunakan 70 persen atau lebih dana APBD untuk membayar gaji pegawai, bahkan ada yang mencapai 83 persen. Kebijakan harus diambil pemerintah untuk mengatasi persoalan tersebut. Salah satunya adalah melalui moratorium rekrutmen CPNS. Namun demikian hal tersebut tidak hanya dimaksudkan untuk mengurangi berat beban anggaran semata, lebih dari itu harus sejalan dengan kerangka reformasi birokrasi yang sudah dicanangkan sebelumnya oleh pemerintah. Pemerintah harus melakukan berbagai upaya untuk mendorong reformasi birokrasi agar tidak terjadi paradoks didalamnya.Kebijakan yang berbeda dalam penataan CPNS yang dikeluarkan oleh tiga kementrian, menyebabkan pelaksana di daerah mengalami kebingungan dalam melaksanakannya. Beratnya beban anggaran daerah selain disebabkan oleh belanja pegawai, juga disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor lain seperti pengangkatan Honda dan pemekaran daerah. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan untuk mendorong reformasi birokrasi di Indonesia, antara lain melalui rasionalisasi jumlah pegawai. peningkatan kinerja PNS, dan pendataan kompetensi PNS.Kata Kunci: moratorium rekrutmen CPNS, reformasi birokrasi, belanja pegawai

Oleh karena itu, untuk mengatasi beberapa kelemahan tersebut perlu dicari solusinya. Salah satu solusi yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan melakukan manajemen arsip secara elektronik. Kata kunci: Pengelolaan Arsip, Arsip Elektronik.

Sumber daya manusia yang berfokus pada individu yang menadi anggota organisasi memiliki pandangan, tujuan, kebutuhan, dan kemampuan yang berbeda, sehingga memerlukan perlakuan berbeda agar dapat diarahkan pada satu ikatan, yaitu keterikatan terhadap organisasi. Perbedaan karakteristik ini membawa perbedaan perilaku. Perilaku yang mereka tunjukkan tersebut tidak selamanya releven dengan upaya pencapaian tujuan organisasi. Dengan demikian kebijakan organisasi harus disesuaikan atau diupayakan agar perilaku anggota sesuai dengan kebijakan yang ditempuh. Lebih dari itu pimpinan dapat memanfaatkan informasi tentang berbagai perbedaan tersebut untuk meningkatkan kerjasama di antara para anggota dalam kelompok. Dengan demikian pemahaman terhadap perilaku individu bagi seorang pimpinan adalah merupakan satu hal yang sangat penting. Untuk itu The Heart and The Process of Organizational Behavior harus diterapkan sehingga tercipta Quality Working Life and Organisasi yang bersangkutan.
