Background:

Malaria in pregnancy is a globally recognized cause of feto-maternal morbidity and mortality. Certain bio-social characteristics may be associated with malaria in pregnancy.

Objective:

To determine the prevalence, and some bio-social associations, of malaria parasitemia in pregnant women from southeastern Nigeria.

Subjects and Methods:

This is a prospective cross-sectional study of 330 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in health facilities in Nnewi, southeastern Nigeria. Thick and thin blood films were stained with Giemsa to identify malaria parasites; a pro-formal questionnaire was employed to elicit some bio-social variables. Data analysis was made using SPSS version 25 to relate bio-social variables to malaria parasitemia. Test of significance was made using Chi-square test with significant levels put at P less than 0.05 at 95% confidence interval.

Results:

The prevalence of malaria parasitemia was 18.5%. Malaria parasitemia mostly occurred in women aged 20–24 years 9 (24.3%) and least among those aged 35–39 years 2 (4.2%)). The relationship was not significant (P = 0.58). Malaria parasitemia occurred significantly higher in the secundigravida 15 (25.0%) compared to multigravida 38 (16.9%), (P = 0.01); and women in the first trimester 15 (30.0%) compared to second 28 (21.2%) and third 18 (12.2%) trimesters (P = 0.005). Malaria parasitemia showed no significant difference in the pregnant women with respect to the type of health facility.

Conclusion:

Malaria parasitemia in pregnancy has a prevalence rate of 18.5% in this study. Malaria preventive measures should mostly target paucigravidae women in the first trimester; emphasis should be placed on malaria preventive education as part of pre-conception care.
Otroška književnost Lile Prap
Authors: Haramija Dragica
Published: September 2024

Lilijana Praprotnik – Zupančič, also known as Lila Prap, is an important artist, creating original children's picture books, who has received a number of Slovene and foreign awards in the area of youth literature. So far, the author has published eleven books for children, of which two are illustrated and nine are picture books. The article discusses all her works, published in book format, although her publications in magazines are not taken into account (usually such works are published in children's magazines and are later published as a book). The fundamental poetics of Lila Prap is based on a play of words, with the author consciously breaking the phonetic, morphological and/or syntactic language features. Simplification, though not banal, the playfulness of expression and non-sense, which creates a comical atmosphere, are those elements of the artist's creativity, which testify to the wittiness and quality of her books. The excellence of her picture books is shown on both linguistic and artistic levels, which the author uses to create original picture books of high quality, intended for children in their pre-reading or early reading period. Given the target readers/listeners of her work, the term children's literature, which is part of youth literature, is appropriate, as it more accurately defines the reading development of children.&
Avtobiografskost sodobne slovenske kratke proze
Authors: Bošnjak Blanka
Published: September 2024

In view of the ascertained phenomenon of genre syncretism and new genre constructions in contemporary literature, which are often also combinations of literary and non-literary genres (in our case of the research of the combination of various forms of contemporary Slovene short prose, such as travelogue, essay, memoires, etc, and biography), interesting characteristics and possibilities of manifestation have crystallized on the basis of the analysis of selected texts of Slovene short prose from the last ten years. These can be counted amongst the following forms of literary autobiography that appear in the selected short prose texts: memoir autobiography, memoire collage, travelogue and fictional autobiography. Analysis of these texts has shown a situation that is linked with the contemporary understanding of literary discourse, as well as with the systemic and functional placement of literature in the production and reception context.
Korpusni pristop k izdelavi terminoloških slovarjev: od besednih seznamov in konkordanc do samodejnega luščenja izrazja
Authors: Logar Nataša , Vintar Špela
Published: September 2024

The article describes the procedures and treatment of entries for the purposes of a PR terminological dictionary. In the introduction, corroboration is provided of the corpus-based approach to the compilation of terminological dictionaries. A corpus offers numerous technologically and methodologically advanced possibilities for an insight into the set of terms in a particular field. The selection of entries is based on automatically generated lists of field term candidates, i.e., words and collocations that, through statistical analyses and due to their morphosyntactic features, stand out as relevant to a particular field. Manual examination of lists of terms acquired in this way indicates their usefulness but at the same time reveals some problems related to distinguishing between proper terms and non-terms, or between terms and terminological collocations.
Emil Filipčič med ludizmom in dramo absurda
Authors: Rudolf Matevž
Published: September 2024

The article focuses on two early plays by Emil Filipčič: Kegler 6 (staged 1981) and Prisoners of Freedom (staged 1982). In drama analysis of the 1980’s, Filipčič’s drama was normally placed in the context of Luddite literature. Modern literary theory, however, prefers to use the term ‘Luddite elements’ rather than ‘Luddite literature’ – these elements are conceived as one of the techniques of the Drama of the Absurd. Based on an analysis of the degree of their fragmentedness and their dramatic characters, language and humour, we identify elements of the absurd in Filipčič’s dramatic pieces and attempt to establish the way in which Filipčič’s drama is different from and similar to the established models of the Drama of the Absurd. In so doing it becomes clear that Filipčič is consistently concerned with the theme of parodying God, a theme that the author uses in all of his dramatic pieces. In presenting this motif the author adopts a unique technique in order to break with the model of the ‘absoluteness’ of drama according to Szondi, and in so doing he builds upon the typical model of the Drama of the Absurd.
Izidor Cankar in Anton Ocvirk kot začetnika osebnostnega intervjuja na Slovenskem
Authors: Forštner Leja
Published: September 2024

The genre of the interview is today most precisely defined in journalistic terminology as a characteristic form of journalistic reporting, recognisable primarily by its external structure, which achieved its final form (as determined in contemporary theory) on the pages of Slovene interwar periodical press. However, as a textual type the interview was first introduced into the Slovene cultural sphere by the (literary) arts scientist and artist Izidor Cankar, in his collection of interviews with Slovene artists of the time, Visits (1920). A similar work, entitled Dialogues (1933), was later published by Anton Ocvirk. With this work, Ocvirk not only created an early type of the interview genre but, like Cankar, he also created a special (personal) type.
Kulturni transfer: vpliv nemškega jezikovno-kulturnega prostora na slovenski frazeološki sistem
Authors: Kuster Helena
Published: September 2024

The influence of the German linguistic-cultural sphere on the Slovene sphere is also evident in the field of phraseology. In the present article we focus on that part of phraseological lexical units in Slovene language whose direct connection with German culture is most easily demonstrated. These are phrases derived from citations from canonised German authors and their literary works, which also retain their canonic status in a diachronic sense in the Slovene cultural sphere. The habituation of cited phrases and their exploitations is clear proof of the fact that they are deeply rooted in the collective consciousness. The comparability of appearances in both of the linguistic-cultural spheres from a synchronous perspective demonstrates the transfer on the model level.
Slovarji in govorci: kot pes in mačka?
Authors: Stabej Marko
Published: September 2024

As metalinguistic works dictionaries have three roles: symbolic, material and utilitarian. In the tradition of Slovene dictionary writing the latter is not the prevailing role, a fact that can be understood only on a cultural-historical and political-historical background. The consequence of this is that speakers do not have dictionaries available that would reliably help them with language-capability and communication difficulties, which weakens the prospects of the Slovene linguistics community.
Lezbična ljubezen v sodobnem slovenskem romanu
Authors: Jarh Ciglar Barbara
Published: September 2024

The socio-political changes of recent years have not circumvented the issue of sexual minorities, nor that of the Slovene novel telling the story of our time. The link between the actual state of things in society and what happens in the novel is an interesting segment of research endeavours. Therefore, in the introductory part, a historical overview is given of the social position of lesbians and selected theoretical premises are provided, which contributes towards a more objective interpretation of the treated novels. Slovene literature with lesbian subject matter first appears at the end of the 19th century. The first novel of this genre is Fata morgana (1898) by Marica Nadlišek Bartol, but it is only in the second half of the 20th century that lesbian literature is discussed in greater depth. At that point, it becomes institutionalised, publishers specialising in lesbian literature start to appear, and the question of the definition of lesbian writing is first raised for public debate. The first Slovene novel with a lesbian topic, My Name is Damian, was published in 2001, and the first Slovene lesbian novel, The Third World, was published six years later. Both take the reader to the world of being different, as well as providing a subtle insight into the inner world of central literary characters, human relations and social climate.
Medbesedilno sklicevanje v nekaterih romanih Draga Jančarja
Authors: Potisk Martina
Published: September 2024

The article treats intertextual links in selected novels by Drago Jančar, leading from a presentation of the positioning of the novel in the period of Slovene postmodern literature to a description of the writer’s selected novels. These are seen as a starting point for seeking different methods of intertextual reference, within which certain intertextual figures of speech and genres that, due to their semantic and nominal similarities, are easily mistaken for one another are more precisely defined: summary and paraphrase, allusion and narrative allusion are illustrated by examples from Jančar’s novels The Galley Slave (1978), Northern Lights (1984) and Headnoise (1998). As a special intertextual genre, a variation of the novel The Builder (2006) is presented, distinct for its use of the mythical figure and the archetypal situation, as well as for character borrowing and many citation similarities obtaining between this novel and Jančar’s drama Daedalus (1988).
Podoba učitelja v slovenski prozi 1855–1914
Authors: Šebjanič Maja
Published: September 2024

The image of the teacher was, on the one hand, influenced by legal regulations prescribing the teacher’s qualities, and, on the other, by the personal experiences of individuals, writers among them. Slovene prose writers who chose the teacher as their literary hero shaped the literary image of the teacher. In the prose written between 1855 and 1914, two images of a male teacher and one image of a female teacher were created.

The article is an overview of a decade of the Cankar Award Competitions. The coordinator sets out to analyse the development and the unfolding of the competitions, pointing out the problems that arose because of the competition’s expansion. Due to the annual literary tender and the need for an objective evaluation of the essay and test tasks, the competition has raised professional didactic and ethical questions. At the same time, the organisers have put a lot of effort into ensuring the integrity of this all-Slovene competition, which in recent years, due to its size, has become barely manageable.
Celostna obravnava slovstvene folklore v šoli: besedilo s kontekstom in teksturo v izkustvenem pouku in situ
Authors: Ivančič Kutin Barbara
Published: September 2024

V članku je izpostavljen predlog, da se fokus obravnave folklornih del pri pouku premakne zgolj z besedila na celoten folklorni dogodek, ki vključuje poleg teksta tudi kontekst (okoliščine izvedbe) in teksturo (način izvedbe). Slovstvena folklora namreč temelji na konceptu ustne komunikacije v živo, kar jo bistveno razlikuje od literature. Folklorno besedilo na papirju izgubi velik del estetske vrednosti, ki je povezana z izvedbo (pripovedovanjem/petjem) ter hkratno slušno in vizualno recepcijo. Članek poudarja učinkovitost celovitega izkustvenega spoznavanja in doživljanja slovstvene folklore zunaj učilnic. Primeri dobrih praks iz OŠ Bovec kažejo, kako je mogoče s strukturiranimi tematskimi urami, tematskim kulturnim dnevom in drugimi (tudi projektnimi) aktivnostmi – vselej z medpredmetnim povezovanjem – bistveno izboljšati znanje, hkrati pa ozaveščati in krepiti spoštovanje najprej do lastne lokalne, s tem pa tudi do regijske in nacionalne kulturne ter naravne dediščine. To lahko prispeva k (aktivnemu) ohranjanju in revitalizaciji izročila, spodbuja kreativnost ter razmislek o inovativnih oblikah prezentacije, npr. v kulturnem turizmu.
Pravopisne vsebine in razvijanje pravopisne zmožnosti pri pouku slovenščine v gimnaziji
Authors: Černivec Manca
Published: September 2024

The aim of this contribution is to show how orthographic content and orthographic competence are discussed and presented in the basic documents that determine the teaching of Slovene and how they provide teachers with guidelines for planning lessons. It also shows which objectives associated with the development of orthographic competence can be identified in these documents. The contribution explains why the existing documents do not provide a suitable starting point for lesson planning. The relevance and usefulness of these documents for lesson planning can best be assessed by their users – general upper secondary school teachers. Therefore, an online survey was conducted among them to find out what guides orthographic lesson planning in practice, as this is the most systematic and targeted way to develop orthographic competence.

BACKGROUND

The February 6, 2023, twin earthquakes in Türkiye caused significant structural damage and a high number of injuries, particularly affecting the spine, which underscores the importance of understanding the distribution and nature of vertebral injuries in disaster victims.

AIM

To investigate the distribution of radiological findings of vertebral injuries in patients referred to a major tertiary center during the February 6, 2023 twin earthquakes in Türkiye.

METHODS

With the approval of the institutional ethics committee, 1216 examinations of 238 patients transferred from the region to a tertiary major hospital after the twin earthquakes of February 6, 2023, were retrospectively analyzed for spine injuries.

RESULTS

Spine computed tomography (CT) scans were performed in 192 of 238 patients with a suspected spinal injury, 42 of whom also had an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In 86 of 192 patients (44.79%; M:F = 33:53) a spinal fracture was detected on CT and in 33 of 42 patients (78.57%; M:F = 20:13) a spinal injury was found on MRI. Of the 86 patients in whom vertebral injury was detected, fractures were detected in the Denis-B group in 33, Denis-C in 4, Denis-D in 20 and Denis-E in 11 patients. Among the vertebral bodies: 40 "compression fractures", 17 "burst fractures", 5 "translational dislocation fractures", 5 "flexion-distraction fractures" and 58 "prolonged forced fetal posture fractures" were detected. In addition, isolated transverse or spinous process fractures were found in eighteen vertebrae.

CONCLUSION

Our study highlights the prevalence and diverse spectrum of spinal injuries following the February 6, 2023 twin earthquakes in Turkey underscoring the urgent need for effective management strategies in similar disaster scenarios, and emphasizing the "prolonged forced fetal posture" damage we encountered in earthquake victims who remained under the collapse for a long time.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Retinal microcirculation alterations are early indicators of diabetic microvascular complications. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noninvasive method to assess these changes. This study analyzes changes in retinal microcirculation in prediabetic patients during short-term increases in blood glucose using OCTA.

AIM

To investigate the changes in retinal microcirculation in prediabetic patients experiencing short-term increases in blood glucose levels using OCTA.

METHODS

Fifty volunteers were divided into three groups: Group 1 [impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)], Group 2 (both IFG and IGT), and a control group. Retinal microcirculation parameters, including vessel density (VD), perfusion density (PD), and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) metrics, were measured using OCTA. Correlations between these parameters and blood glucose levels were analyzed in both the fasting and postprandial states.

RESULTS

One hour after glucose intake, the central VD (P = 0.023), central PD (P = 0.026), and parafoveal PD (P < 0.001) were significantly greater in the control group than in the fasting group. In Group 1, parafoveal PD (P < 0.001) and FAZ circularity (P = 0.023) also increased one hour after glucose intake. However, no significant changes were observed in the retinal microcirculation parameters of Group 2 before or after glucose intake (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, Group 1 had a larger FAZ area (P = 0.032) and perimeter (P = 0.018), whereas Group 2 had no significant differences in retinal microcirculation parameters compared with the control group (P > 0.05). Compared with Group 1, Group 2 had greater central VD (P = 0.013) and PD (P = 0.008) and a smaller FAZ area (P = 0.012) and perimeter (P = 0.010). One hour after glucose intake, Group 1 had a larger FAZ area (P = 0.044) and perimeter (P = 0.038) than did the control group, whereas Group 2 showed no significant differences in retinal microcirculation parameters compared with the control group (P > 0.05). Group 2 had greater central VD (P = 0.042) and PD (P = 0.022) and a smaller FAZ area (P = 0.015) and perimeter (P = 0.016) than Group 1. At fasting, central PD was significantly positively correlated with blood glucose levels (P = 0.044), whereas no significant correlations were found between blood glucose levels and OCTA parameters one hour after glucose intake.

CONCLUSION

A short-term increase in blood glucose has a more pronounced effect on retinal microcirculation in prediabetic patients with either IFG or IGT.

Authors: Zheng Jian-Rong , Chang Jun-Lei , Hu Jun , Lin Zhi-Jian , Lin Kai-Hua , Lu Bi-Hua , Chen Xu-Hui , Liu Zhi-Gang
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Cases of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-related disease have a history of coronavirus disease 2019 infection or its vaccination before disease onset. Severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been considered to be a trigger of central nervous system autoimmune diseases.

CASE SUMMARY

Here we report a 20-year male with MOG-associated transverse myelitis after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient received a near-complete recovery after standard immunological treatments.

CONCLUSION

Attention should be paid to the evaluation of typical or atypical neurological symptoms that may be triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Secondary rectal linitis plastica caused by prostatic adenocarcinoma - magnetic resonance imaging findings and dissemination pathways: A case report
Authors: Labra Andres Antonio , Schiappacasse Giancarlo , Cocio Rolando Alfonso , Torres Jorge Tomás , González Fernando Omar , Cristi Joaquin Alberto , Schultz Marcela
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Secondary rectal linitis plastica (RLP) from prostatic adenocarcinoma is a rare and poorly understood form of metastatic spread, characterized by a desmoplastic response and concentric rectal wall infiltration with mucosal preservation. This complicates endoscopic diagnosis and can mimic gastrointestinal malignancies. This case series underscores the critical role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying the distinct imaging features of RLP and highlights the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of patients with a history of prostate cancer.

CASE SUMMARY

Three patients with secondary RLP due to prostatic adenocarcinoma presented with varied clinical features. The first patient, a 76-year-old man with advanced prostate cancer, had rectal pain and incontinence. MRI showed diffuse prostatic invasion and significant rectal wall thickening with a characteristic "target sign" pattern. The second, a 57-year-old asymptomatic man with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels and a history of prostate cancer exhibited rectoprostatic angle involvement and rectal wall thickening on MRI, with positron emission tomography/computed tomography PSMA confirming the prostatic origin of the metastatic spread. The third patient, an 80-year-old post-radical prostatectomy, presented with refractory constipation. MRI revealed a neoplastic mass infiltrating the rectal wall. In all cases, MRI consistently showed stratified thickening, concentric signal changes, restricted diffusion, and contrast enhancement, which were essential for diagnosing secondary RLP. Biopsies confirmed the prostatic origin of the neoplastic involvement in the rectum.

CONCLUSION

Recognizing MRI findings of secondary RLP is essential for accurate diagnosis and management in prostate cancer patients.

With the end of the Second World War, pharmacists arriving in Lower Silesia (Poland) had to face new and numerous problems resulting from post-war disorganisation. The article lists the most important of these: the destruction of pharmacies, shortages of supplies and equipment, staff shortages and crime. A problem characteristic of Lower Silesia, and indeed the whole of the “Recovered Territories”, that was not present in Central Poland was a sense of alienation. Pharmacies overfl owing with German objects intensified the negative feelings accompanying settlers arriving in the area. At the same time, they were one of the most important points on the map of settlements – the prosperity and health of the first inhabitants depended on their presence.
Historia Laboratorium Techniczno-Dentystycznego „Dentstal” w Bytomiu
Authors: Lusek Joanna
Published: September 2024

The Technical and Dental Laboratory “Dentstal” in Bytom, a productivity cooperative employing dentist of Jewish origin, operated for a little over two years (1947–1949). It dealt with the production of elements of prosthetic restorations (steel castings, teeth, crowns, and parts for dentures). Due to the scope of the work carried out, the cooperative had a real chance to prosper for many years. As a result of a series of events, resulting from the lack of financial liquidity on the one hand, resulting from the lack of proper management and distribution system for the laboratory’s products, and on the other hand from irregularities revealed during the audit, it was closed. The process of liquidation of the plant, burdened with difficulties caused by several changes of inspectors-liquidators and resulting from improper security of the cooperative’s property and the funds obtained after its sale as repayment of debtors, continued for seven years.
Kontrowersje związane z krótko i długofalowymi skutkami katastrofy w Czarnobylu (1986)
Authors: Dąsal Mateusz , Szlagowska-Papuzińska Aleksandra , Sasuła Łukasz
Published: September 2024

The assessment of the Polish authorities’ reaction to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 is ambiguous. Among researchers, historians, and journalists, there are often extremely different opinions on the preventive actions taken and the information policy of the PRL government. These differences are also visible in the assessment of the long-term effects of these actions. As a result of widespread disinformation during the disaster and subsequent conflicting narratives, so-called “radiophobia” and social experience marked by distrust and fear have grown, being structures of long duration and a cognitive matrix present in the reception of current events. The article aims to present interpretative doubts in the assessment of actions taken after the disaster and their contemporary consequences, primarily in the context of broadly understood nuclear threats.
Kształtowanie nowego typu lekarza wojskowej służby zdrowia – popularyzacja doktryny medycznej i ideologii socjalistycznej w „Lekarzu Wojskowym” w latach 1945–1956
Authors: Augustynowicz Danuta
Published: September 2024

This work contains an analysis of the content published in the years 1945–1956 in “Military Physician”, reissued in 1945 by the then military command, which from the first issue was intended to educate military health service personnel. The aim of the analysis is to attempt to answer the question about the impact of the content published in the magazine on the formation of a new type of doctor-soldier-communist, consistent with socialist values. Twelve volumes of a magazine published by the Department of Health Services of the Ministry of National Defense, addressed mainly to military health service doctors, were analyzed. The magazine, which published, apart from medical topics, also propaganda materials, was intended to disseminate knowledge about Soviet scientific achievements and glorify the Soviet army. The editorial team intended the adoption of such a policy to serve the development of ethical and moral attitudes and the political education of the staff.
La nouvelle Russie de Pierre le Grand. Un fantasme russe des premières Lumières françaises
Authors: Mosakowski Marek
Published: September 2024

In this article, we focus on the image of Russia under Peter the Great in France during the early Enlightenment. We discuss Fontenelle's text Éloge du tsar Pierre Ier, written shortly after the death of this Tsar and commissioned by the French Academy. Our hypothesis is that this text formed the foundation in France of the myth of Peter the Great as the outstanding moderniser, leading the absolute majority of French philosophers after Fontenelle to actually recognise Peter the Great as a true hero of the Enlightenment. Our method is to analyse in detail the rhetorical devices contained in Fontenelle's text and to compare the laudatory image of Peter the Great created by them with the equally laudatory position of other French philosophers, including Voltaire. Our conclusion is that Fontenelle's juxtaposition of Russia before Peter the Great with the new Russia during his reign fits perfectly with the Manichean metaphor of light, typical of the Enlightenment, which must of necessity prevail over darkness.
Influence of solid residence time on the phosphorus adsorption of extracellular polymer substances
Authors: Long Xiang-Yu , Dai Wei , Tang Ran , Zhou Hai-Wei , Xue Ming , Zhong Tao
Published: September 2024

Influence of solid residence time (SRT) on phosphorus (P) adsorption of extracellular polymer substances (EPS) was investigated from the perspectives of the contents, compositions and properties of loosely bound and tightly bound extracellular polymers (i.e., LB-EPS and TB-EPS) and microbial community structure. The TP contents of EPS were 59.6±6.0 - 87.4±4.4 mg·g-1 VSS and 63.7% - 68.1% of those of sludge, which was still underestimated due to the residual TB-EPS protecting cell membrane integrity. The influences of SRT on the yield and compositions of TB-EPS were obviously greater than those of LB-EPS. Compared with the SRTs of 12 d and 18 d, the significant P storage enhancement of biological P removal (BPR) sludge with the SRT of 25 d was related with the increases of TB-EPS yield, polyP content and average chain length in TB-EPS. The P adsorption property of TB-EPS was slightly increased through increasing SRT, while the K, Mg and Ca adsorption properties were markedly reduced. Increasing extracellular P content could kept good BPR efficiency at longer SRTs, but the loss risk of phosphorus accumulating organism dominance was increased. Additionally, adding Mg and Ca salts might improve extracellular P adsorption at longer SRTs.

Authors: Suwandono Adji , Tanoyo Irene
Published: September 2024

Transplantasi organ adalah proses memindahkan seluruh atau sebagian organ dari satu individu ke individu lain, atau dari satu bagian ke bagian lain dalam tubuh yang sama. Prosedur ini bertujuan untuk menggantikan organ yang rusak atau tidak berfungsi pada penerima dengan organ sehat dari donor. Donor organ bisa berasal dari individu yang masih hidup maupun yang sudah meninggal. Pesatnya kemajuan teknologi di bidang kesehatan telah meningkatkan tingkat keberhasilan transplantasi organ atau jaringan tubuh manusia. Mengenai etika kedokteran di Indonesia, setiap dokter yang terlibat dalam transplantasi organ harus mematuhi Kode Etik Kedokteran Indonesia. Transplantasi harus ditinjau dari sudut pandang etika berdasarkan empat prinsip dasar etika biomedis. Pertama, Respect for autonomy menekankan bahwa mendonorkan organ adalah tindakan mulia. Kedua, Non-maleficence menyatakan bahwa setiap operasi transplantasi selalu memiliki risiko. Ketiga, Beneficence menekankan bahwa kita harus berbuat baik kepada orang lain, terutama jika tidak menimbulkan risiko bagi pemberi kebijakan. Keempat, Justice berarti prinsip keadilan dalam donasi dan transplantasi organ, yang lebih relevan terhadap alokasi organ, mengutamakan perlakuan yang adil, setara, dan sesuai dengan kebutuhan pasien yang dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor.

Kudeta Myanmar menimbulkan berbagai masalah baru bagi wilayah regional Asia Tenggara dan berdampak langsung terhadap negara-negara yang berbatasan langsung dengan Myanmar. Sebagai bentuk menekan tingkat kerugian yang ditimbulkan oleh kudeta ini setiap actor negara hingga actor internasional lainnya berlomba untuk menentukan resolusi damai bagi Myanmar. Salah satunya yaitu Thailand dibawah pemerintahan Prayut Chan o Cha dengan mengeluarkan kebijakan luar negeri berupa quite diplomacy untuk menekan intervensi asing dan ketegangan dalam proses damai. Kebijakan ini dikeluarkan dengan alasan kepentingan nasional yang harus diamankan oleh Thailand yang berhubungan dengan ekonomi dan sumber daya. Hal ini didasarkan pada panjangnya garis perbatasan antara kedua dengan panjang 2.401 km yang menyebabkan berbagai masalah seperti imigran, narkoba, dan masalah sosial lainnya mengalami peningkatan dan merugikan Thailand. Sehingga Thailand berupaya untuk menengahi kasus ini sebagai mediator dengan berusaha membangun komunikasi dengan Myanmar untuk mengamankan wilayah perbatasan yang berdampak kebeberapa aspek penting seperti ekonomi. Dengan memanfaatkan hubungan masa lalu antara elit militer kedua negara Prayut berupaya untuk mengubah kebijakan Burma Myanmar menjadi lebih strategis dan bermoral sehingga dapat mencapai kesepakatan bersama yang menguntungkan kedua belah pihak. Pada penelitian ini penulis berupaya untuk melihat bagaimana proses quite diplomacy yang dilakukan oleh Prayut dapat mempengaruhi Myanmar dan seberapa efektifnya kebijkan ini dalam melakukan pendekatan terhadap Myanmar saat ASEAN gagal dalam melakukan pendekatan terhadap Myanmar, keterbatasan ASEAN dalam menangani isu Myanmar melemahkan posisinya sebagai sentralitas regional dan menurunkan kredibilitasnya sebagai organisasi yang mengedepankan HAM. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan efisiensi dari kebijakan yang di keluarkan oleh Prayut dimana Myanmar menaruh kepercayaan terhadap Thailand demi mengamankan kepentingannya terutama di bidang ekonomi.

Authors: Gabriela Tangui Monica
Published: September 2024

Penelitian ini mengkaji perbandingan metode Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) dan Analisa Harga Satuan Pekerjaan (AHSP) tahun 2023 dalam penyusunan Rencana Anggaran Biaya (RAB) proyek konstruksi. Kedua metode digunakan secara luas di Indonesia untuk mengestimasi biaya konstruksi, dengan SNI menawarkan standar yang lebih ketat terkait kualitas dan keamanan, sedangkan AHSP lebih fleksibel dan mempertimbangkan kondisi lokal serta spesifikasi teknis yang lebih rinci. Namun, penerapan manual kedua metode seringkali memakan waktu dan rawan kesalahan. Penelitian ini mengembangkan aplikasi berbasis web untuk memfasilitasi perhitungan otomatis dan perbandingan antara metode SNI dan AHSP. Data yang digunakan diambil dari proyek pembangunan Rumah Dinas Paramedis Puskesmas Duminanga, Bolaang Mongondow Selatan, yang mencakup bahan, upah, dan RAB proyek. Aplikasi yang dikembangkan diharapkan dapat meningkatkan efisiensi dan akurasi dalam penyusunan RAB serta memberikan perbandingan biaya yang lebih transparan antara kedua metode tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode AHSP lebih ekonomis dibandingkan metode SNI, dengan perbedaan biaya signifikan pada beberapa item pekerjaan. Aplikasi ini diharapkan menjadi alat bantu yang efektif dalam perencanaan dan pengambilan keputusan dalam proyek konstruksi di Indonesia.
O presentismo nos enfermeiros no contexto português: uma revisão da literatura
Authors: Figueiredo Maria Elisabete Marques , Teixeira Cláudia Maria Marques , Silva Armando Manuel Marques , Gomes José Herminio Gonçalves
Published: September 2024

Introdução: O presentismo é um fenómeno de grande relevância para empresas e para a Saúde e Segurança Ocupacionais, sendo definido como a presença dos trabalhadores no ambiente de trabalho, apesar de não estarem no seu máximo desempenho devido a condições de saúde. OBJETIVO: Aumentar a compreensão em relação a esta problemática e analisá-la a partir da atual evidência científica. Metodologia: Revisão da literatura com as orientações preconizadas pela Joanna Briggs Institute para “scoping review”. Efetuou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados Medline via Pubmed; Medline complete e Cinhal complete via Ebsco; Scielo; DOAJ; Cochrane; JBI; na Revista Portuguesa de Saúde Ocupacional e RCAAP. Resultados: O presentismo existe no panorama nacional, atinge menos o sexo masculino e estes apresentam menor capacidade para concluir o trabalho perante as causas de presentismo. Dos estudos analisados, salientam-se a lombalgia, a cefaleia e a enxaqueca como sintomatologia mais prevalente e por sua vez nas patologias, as infeções respiratórias, o stress e a ansiedade. As condições de saúde são preditivas de presentismo, no entanto, situações de longa data levam a uma tendência de adaptação ao trabalho. Antiguidade no serviço e considerar o trabalho stressante demonstra relação com o presentismo nos enfermeiros em contexto hospitalar. Discussão/Conclusão: Comparativamente aos resultados de estudos em contexto internacional, os enfermeiros portugueses demonstram maior prevalência de presentismo. Os resultados obtidos nas publicações nacionais são consistentes com os estudos internacionais. Observam-se lacunas no conhecimento, especialmente no que diz respeito ao impacto de variáveis organizacionais no presentismo.
