Status desa/kelurahan menjadi sebuah hal yang penting guna mengetahui perkembangan pembangunan yang ada pada desa/kelurahan tersebut serta dalam melakukan evaluasi terkait kebijakan yang telah dibuat mengenai infrastruktur. Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) telah melakukan proses klasifikasi dengan metode skoring. Oleh karena itu pada penelitian ini akan mengimplementasikan model decision tree dikarenakan indicator klasifikasi status desa/kalurahan yang digunakan BPS belum mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan data hasil Praktik Kerja Lapangan (PKL) Politeknik Statistika STIS tahun 2020 yang dilaksanakan di D.I.Yogyakarta. Diharapkan penelitian ini dapat menjadi metode alternatif untuk mengganti metode yang sudah ada. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 438 desa/kelurahan model decision tree mampu mengklasifikasi secara benar 392 desa/kelurahan sesuai dengan status desa/kelurahan sebelumnya. Model ini memiliki tingkat kebaikan model (specificity) sebesar 90.32%, presisi model (precision) sebesar 87.5%, sensitivitas model (recall) sebesar 88.42%, serta F1 Score

sebesar 87.95%.

For the first time the acute interstitial pneumonitis as a main cause of adult idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome was described in 1933–35 by the American medical scholars Louis Virgil Hamman and Arnold Rice Rich as “acute fibrosing alveolitis” later given the eponymous name Hamman-Rich syndrome. This disease targets the interstitium of the lungs and characterized by fulminant onset, acute respiratory disorder with possibility of respiratory failure, being clinically similar to respiratory distress syndrome with the pathomorphologically revealed diffuse alveolar damage. Hamman-Rich syndrome is characterized by rapid progression from symptoms of common cold such as cough, fever, chills and dyspnea to severe respiratory failure. The syndrome affects apparently healthy individuals and is not associated with any anamnestic chronic lung diseases, smoking habits, neither with patients’ age or sex. The aetiology and pathogenesis of the Hamman-Rich syndrome are not clear yet. The familiar genetic predisposition is of definite meaning, especially related to mutations of surfactant proteins and their metabolism. The possible mechanistic links of this fulminant lung disease involve: NK-cells, auto-aggressive immune activation and certain types of cytokines during their excessive systemic action, so-called cytokine storm (e.g. interleukin-18 and interleukin-2), which play the leading part in the patho-genesis of acute lung cell injury resulting in diffuse non-remitting pneumofibrosis. But all these clinical and pathogenetic features are also common for severe COVID-19. Computed tomography is used for instrumental diagnosis of Hamman-Rich syndrome and also gives the lung images quite similar to that of COVID-19, including ground glass opacity symptoms. The authors hypothesize that the same link(s) of pathogenesis underlie the severe course of COVID-19 and Hamman-Rich syndrome. It is possible that cases of Hamman-Rich syndrome were due to the circulation in populations of a less virulent, unrecognized coronavirus, which interacts with the immune system of genetically susceptible individuals in a way similar to SARS-CoV2. For sure, the identification of the characteristics of the genome of patients with Hamman-Rich syndrome will shed light on the genetic mechanisms that predispose to the severe course of COVID-19 and vice versa — the experience of severe COVID-19 treatment can be applied to the therapy of Hamman-Rich syndrome as well.

The purpose of the article was to evaluate trends of uterine submucousal myomas after the embolization of uterine arteries. Uterine fibroids are a common disease in women of reproductive age, accounting for 10 to 30 %, according to various authors. The submucous location of the myomatous node is an unfavorable type of localization of fibroids since it almost always requires surgical treatment. In this work, we would like to report on the results of endovascular x-ray occlusion of the uterine arteries in the treatment of submucous myomatous nodes. Percutaneous through catheter occlusion of uterine arteries with submucousal myomatous nodes was performed in 21 patients where 18 of them through the femoral, and 3 of them through beam access. The patients’ age was under 32 up to 47 with average 36,5. Myomatous nodes’ size is from 3,0 till 9,0 centimeters. There were noted self-expulsions of 10 from 21 submucousal myomatous nodes after X-ray endovascular occlusion during the 7 days and until 3 months. In the gynecological department they performed removal of partially born submucosal nodes in 3 out of 21 patients within 3 months. In the remaining 8 of 21 observations (381 %), submucosal nodes underwent myolysis in the following 12 months. After X-ray endovascular occlusion there might be expulsion or myolysis of myoma nodes in different terms during the submucosal myomatous of uterine.

The article presents information about circulating isolates Klebsiella pneumoniae in a hospital megapolis with properties of hypervirulence and simultaneous multiresistance. The resulting K. pneumonia isolates are of particular importance due to the emergence of resistance to almost all β-lactams due to the presence of carbapenemase metal-β-lactamase. Furthermore, the isolated strains producing carbapenemases possess mechanisms of resistance to a wide range of antimicrobial preparations, and the types of infectious process caused by carbapenemazo-producing enterobacteries are characterized by a high lethality level. Microbiological, biochemical, biophysical, molecular-genetic, biological, bioinformational and statistical methods of research were used in the work. A prospective method was used to identify the source of the infections. In the first stage, a microbiological study was carried out on biomaterials obtained from patients treated in a hospital in Saint Petersburg. After a microbiological study, 52 isolates of K. pneumoniae were obtained, 53.8 % of isolates had a hypermucoid phenotype and 98 % had carbapenemases:blaNDM type — 49 (92 %), blaNDM+OXA-48-like — 3 (8 %). Isolates with two new phenotypes have been isolated (no. 2511 and no. 2512). Isolates of no. 2512 LD50 had 10*2 BAC/ml, and plasmids such as Incfib(Mar), Inchi1b, and Incr were also found, with Incr-A plasmid emitted encoding resistance to fluoroquinolone: aac(6’)-Ib-cr and to β-lactam antibiotics: blaTEM-1B. The described data confirm the opinions of the researchers about the possible formation of a new “super pathogen” — instantaneously hypervirulent and plural resistant strain of K. pneumoniae.

Recently more and more evidence appears, proving that seafood consumers should be referred to risk group in which outbreaks of viral food poisoning and foodborne infectious diseases occurs, transmitted by food route. There are several reasons to refer seafood to a category of epidemiologically non-safe products: high microbial pollution of adjacent seas with sewage waters; many non-fish hydrocoles are natural filter feeding animals, which are infected by viruses in the process of vital activity, passing through their organism water and food particles; sufficient viruses stability in external environment, enabling them to remain intact outside of host organism during of prolong time interval. Total rate of viral material detection in seafood samples may reach ~ 10 %. The authors by means of expertise determined virological effect of thermal seafood treatment used in housekeeping conditions and at public catering establishments for preparing mostly widespread dishes. In this paper a conclusion is made, that the use of seafood for preparing dishes, which technology does not consider sufficiently efficient in respect to viruses thermal treatment, shall include preliminary virologic survey of stuff for excluding viral pathogens and for provision safety of the corresponding food products.
Social and psychological aspects of environment-based health risk assessment

Published: February 2021

The authors are mainly focused on special features of using art-therapeutic techniques to facilitate adaptation of several categories of the population to the information about environment- based health risks. They consider the methodological issues of presenting the ideas about health risks within the medical ecological content, of informing about those risks, since the lack of attention to those issues leads to additional anxiety in the population, as well as methods of correction of the latter through art-therapy methods developed by the authors. A psychological support program is suggested, which consists of three stages: diagnostic, psychological correction, psychological and social support. The first stage suggests psychological diagnostics, which include methods that allow for psychological and emotional background assessment. Based on the results of the diagnostics and social data, a complex assessment is made about the main problems of a person and a decision is made about the participation in psychological correction, which consists of individual and groups sessions. The second stage is aimed at the correction of negative emotions and feelings, as well as reaching solutions that are more complex. Art-therapy is suggested as the main psychosocial correction method, the use of which can create safe art-therapeutic environment, where the main means of interaction is a constructive dialogue, based on creating and examining an art product of a client, ‘clientart product-psychologist’, where the client feels protected enough to express their feelings. At the third stage, the clients continue to work with the psychologist as part of the psychological social support, the essence of which is given in this article as well.

The Dutchman Herman Boerhaave (1668–1738) and the Russian Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov (1810–1881) were brilliant physicians who made significant contributions to the practice of medicine. Herman Boerhaave graduated as a doctor in 1693 and eventually became professor of medicine, botany and chemistry at the University of the city Leiden. He is perhaps best known as a teacher and for introducing bedside teaching to the medical curriculum. Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov qualified as a physician in 1828 at the Moscow University, was awarded with his PhD at the German-Baltic University of Dorpat in 1832. In 1836 he was appointed as a professor in Dorpat and in 1841 as professor of surgery and applied anatomy at the Imperial Medico-Surgical Academy in St. Petersburg. Scientific achievements of N. I. Pirogov in medicine are multifaceted: he is the originator of unique technologies for studying the structure of a human being and developed anatomical atlases on these technologies. He was a virtuoso surgeon, an early adopter of ether anaesthesia, and innovator of medical triage and evacuation of the wounded. Why in one article a comparison the scientific achievements of these two brilliant personalities, who have entered the world history of medicine, are investigated, becomes clear from the words of N. I. Pirogov, who greatly appreciated Herman Boerhaave. Pirogov wrote that “…he did not consider himself an equal to Herman Boerhaave…” Was Pirogov right or were it modest words, this is up to the reader to decide. The influence of Anglo-Saxon literature and scientific schools, the role of Herman Boerhaave in the professional develop ment of N. I. Pirogov, and the innovations created by them in medicine were analysed on basis of archival documents.
Optimal water allocation of the Zayandeh-Roud Reservoir in Iran based on inflow projection under climate change scenarios
Authors: Saedi Fatemeh , Ahmadi Azadeh , Abbaspour Karim C.
Published: February 2021

The impact of climate change on water availability has become a significant cause for concern in the Zayandeh-Roud Reservoir in Iran and similar reservoirs in arid regions. This study investigates the climate change impact on water supply and availability in the Zayandeh-Roud River Basin. For better management, the Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to develop a hydrologic model of the basin. The model was then calibrated and validated for two upstream stations using the Sequential Uncertainty Fitting (SUFI-2) algorithm in the SWAT-CUP software. The impact of climate change was modeled by using data derived from five Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project general circulation models under four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). For calibration (1991–2008), the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) values of 0.75 and 0.61 at the Ghaleshahrokh and Eskandari stations were obtained, respectively. For validation (2009–2015), the NSE values were 0.80 and 0.82, respectively. The reservoir inflow would probably reduce by 40–50% during the period of 2020–2045 relative to the base period of 1981–2006. To evaluate the reservoir's future performance, a nonlinear optimization model was used to minimize water deficits. The highest annual water deficit would likely be around 847 MCM. The lowest reservoir reliability and the highest vulnerability occurred under the extreme RCP8.5 pathway.

Published: February 2021

The streamflow of Brahmaputra River Basin is vital for sustainable socioeconomic development of the Ganges delta. Frequent floods and droughts in the past decades indicate the susceptibility of the region to climate variability. Although there are multiple studies investigating the basin's future water availability, most of those are based on limited climate change scenarios despite the wide range of uncertainties in different climate model projections. This study aims to provide a better estimation of projected future streamflow for a combination of 18 climate change scenarios. We develop a hydrologic model of the basin and simulate the future water availability based on these climate change scenarios. Our results show that the simulated mean annual, mean seasonal and annual maximum streamflow of the basin is expected to increase in future. By the end of the 21st century, the projected increase in mean annual, mean dry season, mean wet season, and annual maximum streamflow is about 25, 178, 11, and 22%, respectively. We also demonstrate that this projected streamflow can be expressed as a multivariate linear regression of projected changes in temperature and precipitation in the basin and would be very useful for policy makers to make informed decision regarding climate change adaptation.
Effective treatment of the wastewater from ceramic industry using ceramic membranes
Authors: Shurygin Maxim , Guenther Christiane , Fuchs Stephan , Prehn Volker
Published: February 2021

Emissions of organic compounds, heavy metals and chemicals used in the ceramic industry cause significant organic and inorganic pollution of water. The effluent must be treated before it is discharged into a water body. International and EU laws control the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the wastewater. Conventional technologies, such as sedimentation, flocculation and biological treatment, have lots of drawbacks, whereas membrane technologies give many benefits, as they are chemical-free and allow a reduction of the treatment steps. One-step wastewater nanofiltration with ceramic membranes of 450 Da cut-off is able to reduce the COD of ceramic wastewater to a sufficient level. However, the working time without cleaning is limited and the rejection of membranes can be significantly reduced due to fouling. Multistage filtration can be the solution. Filtration experiments with various combinations (MF, UF and NF) of ceramic membranes were performed at a laboratory scale with single-channel membranes and at pilot scale with 7-, 19- and 151-channel membranes in order to permanently reach the limit value of a COD below 80 mg/L and to increase the operating time. Four types of membranes were sequentially tested in the cross-flow mode: MF (200 nm pore size), UF (2,000 Da), NF (450 Da) and NF (200 Da). 5-day Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) tests were performed in order to examine the wastewater biodegradability. The test results with single-channel membranes showed that in terms of the highest COD rejection and the highest permeability, the best combination was that of MF and UF membranes. Here, UF membranes were sufficient to reach the limit values. As for the multi-channel membranes, the combination of MF and NF (450 Da) was the best and the final COD concentration ranged from 11 to 48 mg/L. 5-day BOD bottle tests showed a COD/BOD ratio of 3.8, which opened up possibilities for combined treatment.
Anthropological Aspects of Problem Of God, Faith and Grace
Authors: Ozorowski Edward
Published: February 2021

e arguments presented here can be qualified as a part of the more extensiveproblem concerning relations between the Christian religion and human nature.We have only limited ourselves to paying attention to the essential componentsof the religious phenomenon&Y. It seems, however, that in the context of all thesetheological theses and church rites, the question should be posed about howthey arise from human existence as well as how they can serve it since only thenwould their fully anthropological value be fully manifested. What is more, oneshould refer to a religious phenomenon as such and consider Christianity in itscontext. Christian religion, in spite of its essential separateness from other religions,shares many common features with them. Christians, therefore considerimportant the philosophical question of whether religiousness defines man to thesame extent as the category homo sapiens, homo socialis, homo faber, etc. does&_.e problem of the role that religion plays in human life is also significant. Manyscholars, for example, emphasize the personality-forming role of religion andits role in maintaining man’s mental health;`.Man is then the point of reference when proving the raison d’être of theChristian religion. It is not enough to say that the Church comes from God, wemust also justify that it is necessary for people.Similarly, the problem of verification of the Christian religion does notonly consist in proving that the present-day Church comes from Christ and thatin its historical duration it remains faithful to the will of its founder, but alsoin justification of the thesis that it represents the value necessary for people.

Since according to the scholastic principle of verum, it can be considered ensand bonum at the same time. e latter is, however, an anthropological issue.Also dogmatic and moral theology, not to mention practical theology andtheology of internal life, which by their very nature deal with man, is characterizedby an anthropological attitude. We have already mentioned that contemporaryCatholic theology is strongly inclined towards anthropology. It must beadded here that the interests of dogmatics and moral theologians should not belimited to the mere interpretation of revealed truths about man, but should alsotake into account the confrontation of these truths with the experience of a manabout himself. en the relevance and validity of dogmatic theorems will becomeclearer and indications of moral theology will become more convincing.

Com intuito de reduzir custos e aumentar a produtividade há uma busca incessante por melhorias nos processos industriais. A fim de minimizar os custos de operação da linha de pintura eletrostática de uma empresa de motores localizada no norte do estado do Espírito Santo, propõe-se a substituição do tensoativo utilizado na preparação do banho desengraxante para pré-tratamento das carcaças de aço carbono. O tratamento de superfície é o estágio essencial no processo de fabricação de peças que receberão um acabamento de pintura, pois o mesmo remove as sujidades promovendo então melhor aderência da tinta e consequentemente reduzindo a possibilidade de oxidação da superfície dos materiais tratados. Foram realizadas análises de custos com a finalidade de expor os possíveis ganhos com a substituição do tensoativo. Posteriormente, realizou-se teste laboratorial (teste de aderência) com o propósito de verificar a qualidade das peças após o tratamento no que tange a aderência da tinta a superfície do material. A partir da análise de custos verificou-se que a estimativa de economia é de aproximadamente 15% em relação ao processo atual. Sendo assim, a substituição do tensoativo torna-se vantajoso, pois minimiza o consumo de energia elétrica, gás natural e reduz o tempo de espera para começar a operar devido ao aquecimento do banho, além de garantir a qualidade das peças no que se referem ao atendimento à norma vigente.

We fabricated various nanoaperture plasmonic platforms for single-molecule detection. We fabricated nanoapertures like nanopores on a pyramid and nanoslits on an Au flat membrane using a Ga ion focused ion beam drilling technique, followed by irradiating with a high energy electron beam, dependent on the electron beam current density to obtain nanoapertures with a few nanometer sizes (circular nanopore, nanoslit pores). We examined their optical characteristics with varying aperture sizes and sample thicknesses. We obtained broad emission spectra in the visible and infrared region from the (7 x 7) slit array and a sharp, strong infrared emission peak from the Au nanoparticle on the substrate. The fabricated Au platform with ~10 nm nanometer opening can be employed as a single-molecule sensor and an infrared thermal emission device.
Implementing a Peer Advocate Mental Health Digital Intervention Program for Ohio Youth: Descriptive Pilot Study
Authors: Albritton Tashuna , Ford Kelsey Lynett , Elsbernd Kira , Santodomingo Melodie , Juzang Ivan , Weddington Pam , Bull Sheana
Published: February 2021

Background

In the United States, millions of adolescents report poor mental health, where 1 in 5 teenagers considers suicide. Reducing stigma and fostering peer support remains critical for positive mental health interventions and programs. Increasingly, digital mental health tools have emerged with great promise, leveraging social networks. Despite the potential, limited understanding of such comprehensive programs and their implementation exist.

Objective

The objective of this study investigates a piloted digital mental health training program (Be Present) for youth, specifically describing the impact on youth behavioral outcomes and user engagement and identifying high-risk youth in the early phases of prevention.

Methods

Eligibility included Ohio residents (aged 14 to 22 years) to be enrolled as either a Friend or a Peer Advocate. From May 1 to June 1, 2019, participants completed the Advocate training course, taking pretest and posttest surveys. Single-arm descriptive analyses measured youth outcomes (self-efficacy, intentions, behaviors, social support, knowledge, and sources of strength) and engagement and assessed risk based on survey responses.

Results

A total of 65 adolescents participated, with 54 completing both pretest and posttest surveys. The majority of participants included non-Hispanic White females. Findings illustrated a significant increase in self-report of referrals for mental health services as well as in perceptions that youth had of experiencing social support; however, no significant differences were found for measures of self-efficacy, knowledge, and sources of strength between pretest and posttest surveys. Roughly two-thirds of the participants completed all of the Advocate training modules, and we observed a gradual decline in engagement. Most respondents who received escalated high-risk response messages identified as female.

Conclusions

The pilot presented promise for implementing a digital mental health program focused on peer support, specifically observing reported youth behavioral outcomes and user engagement and identifying high-risk youth. Various limitations exist given the small nonrepresentative sample and lack of control group. All findings should be considered preliminary to a larger trial and underscore the feasibility of delivering online training programs to bolster adolescent mental health. Such formative evaluation proved critical for future implementation and research, offering opportunity for substantial improvements for real-world digital mental health programs.

Published: February 2021

Cultural competence education is a foundational behavior of professional practice that Athletic Training Programs (ATPs) have been tasked to incorporate into their curriculums. Ten ATP faculty were individually interviewed to determine the current methods used to teach provision of culturally competent care. Four major themes were identified: 1) Barriers to cultural competence education implementation in a didactic setting, 2) Strategies for incorporation into an existing didactic curriculum, 3) Barriers to cultural competence education in a clinical setting, and 4) Strategies to implement cultural competence education into an existing clinical model. Further research is necessary to determine the effectiveness of specific strategies.

Rapid changes on the way people travel the world have impacted countries around the globe. In South East Asia for example, with the rapid expansion of visit-a-country campaign exercises, it had affected the lives of people in many different ways. Tourism industry, for example, flourishes in manifolds. It indirectly changes the socioeconomic status of people of various echelons. Vietnam is no exception. The ease of communication has been identified as one of the key factors that attract tourists to places of choice. The issue is now whether Vietnamese, especially their youths are entirely ready to embrace this new wave of transformation. Therefore, the right moves have to be identified so that the number of tourists will multiple in the thousands if not millions. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to explore Vietnamese youths’ acceptance to learning the English language for communication, especially those encircling tourists’ spots with the right forms of communication to welcome the inflow of visitors around their communities. A qualitative design was used in this investigation employing semi-structured interviews, observations, and series of workshop sessions. The findings revealed that without proper curriculum instructions in school, although with passion and motivation, the youth will not be equipped as much as expected. Suggestions for future direction of this investigation are outlined.

Authors: Mayer Otto , Seidlerová Jitka , Bruthans Jan , Opatrný Jan , Hromádka Milan , Jirák Josef , Filipovský Jan
Published: February 2021

Aim:
We analyzed the mortality risk of myocardial infarction (MI) patients according to renal function, observed during hospitalization.
Materials & methods:
Patients hospitalized for MI between 2006 and 2018 were followed (n = 5659). We divided the sample into four groups by estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) [ml/min]: normal functions (lowest eGFR during hospitalization >60); transiently moderate insufficiency (lowest eGFR >30 and ≤60, highest >60); permanently moderate insufficiency (highest eGFR >30 and ≤60); severe insufficiency (highest and lowest eGFR ≤30).
Results:
Permanently moderate renal insufficiency indicates increased 5-years all-cause mortality (hazard risk ratio: 2.27 [95% CIs: 1.87–2.75], p < 0.0001), but a similar risk was found in patients with the only transient decline of renal functions (hazard risk ratio: 2.08 [95% CIs: 1.70–2.55], p < 0.0001). Both moderate insufficiency subgroups (transient/permanent) did not statistically differ regarding mortality risk.
Conclusion:
Even just fluctuation of eGFR toward moderate insufficiency during hospitalization represents an important prognostic indicator in MI patients.

Published: February 2021

Aim:
Access to essential medicines is a key component of managing patients in ambulatory care. In 2008, the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, created the Pharmacy Network of Minas (Rede Farmácia de Minas [RFM]) program to improve access to medicines, increasing availability and restructuring the infrastructures. The aim was to assess the current situation, comparing municipalities with and without RFM.
Materials & methods:
Descriptive survey study, data collected from 2014 July to May 2015. Availability was verified by stock levels.
Results:
The drug availability index was 61.0%, higher in municipalities with RFM. Most physicians considered the pharmaceutical services as good/very good. The main reasons for medicines shortage were ‘financial transference problems’, ‘insufficient financial resources’ and ‘budget’.
Conclusion:
Strategies, such as the RFM can promote improvements in medicine availability.

Composite renal end points and end stage renal disease (ESRD) are frequently included as prespecified secondary end points in the cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs) of diabetes medications. We examined the heterogeneity in the definitions of composite renal end point and ESRD in CVOTs. Five criteria (macroalbuminuria, doubling of serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate [GFR], ESRD and renal death), were considered for the renal composite end point across the trials. Only three of the 12 trials included all five criteria, whereas the other trials included different combinations of four, three and two criteria. ESRD definition also showed considerable heterogeneity across the trials. Heterogeneity exists in the definitions of renal composite and ESRD end points in CVOTs making it challenging to assess comparative efficacy of the active treatments for reimbursement purposes.

Aim:
To assess the trial-based cost–effectiveness of medication review with follow-up compared with usual care in primary care.
Materials & methods:
A cluster randomized controlled trial included patients if they were independent older adults, receiving five or more prescriptions, with moderate or high cardiovascular risk. Costs were estimated from the public healthcare sector perspective, and health benefits were measured as quality-adjusted life years. Both of which were used to calculate the incremental cost–effectiveness ratio.
Results:
Twelve centers completed the study, six (146 patients) in the intervention group and six (145 patients) in the control group. The base-case analysis showed an incremental cost–effectiveness ratio of US$ (2019) 434.4/quality-adjusted life year (95% CI 64.20–996.03).
Conclusion:
The intervention was cost-effective in the public primary care setting.
STEMroller: smashing stereotypes
Authors: Bayram Helen , Ironside Karen
Published: February 2021

STEMroller events disrupt stereotypes surrounding STEM professionals within a neglected space in science communication; a sports hall. Roller derby inspired STEMroller, both the do-it-yourself culture and creating a space for women and genderqueer people to be themselves. Over 100 female and non-binary STEM professionals volunteered to put this event together for students aged 11–19. STEMroller includes networking with people from over 30 science, technology engineering and mathematics industries, watching roller derby and trying it out — albeit in socks not on wheels. STEMroller uses a pool of engaged volunteers to create a unique and memorable event. Feedback after the event was hugely positive.
Strategi Dakwah Wilayatul Hisbah dalam Pelaksanaan Pengawasan Syari’at Islam di Kota Langsa
Authors: Gustina Ratna
Published: February 2021

In the city of Langsa, the violation of Islamic sharia qanun (regional bylaws) has shown a declining trend; however, it still accounts for a large proportion. This is a surprising issue since it is believed that the Wilayatul Hisbah (Islamic religious police force) of Langsa has performed its duties and functions properly. To respond to the issue, the study of this thesis formulated several questions, including: what are the da’wah strategies used by the Wilayatul Hisbah in supervising the Islamic sharia in Langsa? and how are the da’wah strategies of the Wilayatul Hisbahin supervising the Islamic sharia against the perspective of manhaj da’wah? The study used field research approach, using qualitative descriptive analysis method. Data were collected by interview and documentation. The results of the study showed that the Wilayatul Hisbah of Langsa employed two types of da’wah strategies: da’wah bi al-lisan (oral da’wah) and da’wah bi al-hal(practical da’wah). Da’wah bi al-lisanincluded speech, Jum’ah sermon, appeal, discussion, and advice/guidance. Da’wah bi al-halinvolved patrol and raid. Further, in the view of the da’wah manhaj, the da’wah strategies used structural and cultural approaches. The structural approaches included (a) the supervision of the Islamic sharia was conducted by an official institution formed by the government, which was the Wilayatul Hisbah, (b) the Wilayatul Hisbah and the Islamic Sharia Office was merged institutionally, (c) the establishment of Islamic sharia supervisors at the village level by the Wilayatul Hisbah and the sharia supervisors by the village officers, and (d) the development of cooperation between the government agencies (e.g. Islamic Sharia Office, Ulama Consultative Assembly, Civil Service Police Unit, Police, Indonesian National Army, Sharia Court, and non-governmental (Islamic) organizations). The cultural approaches involved implementing the strategic da’wah methods and strategies. The da’wah methods of the Wilayatul Hisbah have been in line with the Qur’an chapter An-Nahl verse 125, which describes da’wah bi al-hikmah (wisdom), da’wah bi al-mauidza al-hasanah (good advice), and da’wah al-mujadalah bi al-latihiya ahsan (good dialog).

Megalocytivirus is a genus of piscine viruses that belongs to the
Iridoviridae family, and this family comprises red seabream iridovirus
(RSIV), turbot reddish body iridovirus (TRBIV), and infectious spleen
and kidney necrosis virus. RSIV causes high mortality and economic
losses in the rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) Korean aquaculture
industry. The World Organization for Animal Health’s Office
International des Epizooties has provided a manual for RSIV detection.
However, detection against TRBIV has not been confirmed. In this study,
a multiplex PCR method was established to detect two genotypes of
Megalocytivirus, RSIV and TRBIV. New primer pairs were optimized for the
PCR reaction. A mixture of one universal and two specific primer pairs
could amplify three distinct products targeting three different genes.
The sensitivity of the primer pairs was evaluated and results showed a
detection limit of 2.0  105 copies for each target gene. Moreover, the
primer pairs did not amplify any other viruses. The evaluation of
multiplex PCR using 21 RSIV Korean isolates has shown that it can
distinguish two genotypes of Megalocytivirus from 21 RSIV Korean
isolates. Finally, we describe a new multiplex PCR method to detect
different genotypes of Megalocytivirus simultaneously, which makes the
diagnosis of viral diseases occurring in the Korean aquaculture industry
more convenient.
