Authors: Fajri Rahmatul , Asfahani Fira , Amri Yulida , Jofrishal Jofrishal
Published: June 2023

Zeolitic Imidazole Framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been synthesized by dissolving Zn(NO3)2.4H2O and 2-MeIM into a methanol solvent and solvothermal method. The synthesized ZIF-8 will be applied as a cadmium (Cd) adsorbent in Polluted water. Several characterization methods were conducted, including XRD, FTIR, and AAS. The XRD analysis shows that the prominent characteristic peaks of ZIF-8 at an angle of 2θ = 7,25o; 10,26o; 12,57o; 16,22o; and 17,86o. At the same time, the FTIR analysis showed the presence of functional groups of Zn-N, C-N, C=N, C=C, and C-H on aromatic 2-Methyl Immidazole  as an indication that ZIF-8 has been completely established. Based on the result, the AAS method performed to analyze ZIF-8 ability to adsorb Cd in the water showed that Cd ions adsorption increased at pH 6 and 8 while decreasing at pH 7.
Legal Practices of Employment Agreements, Power Relations, and Identity Politics of Indonesian Women Domestic Workers
Authors: Rismawati Shinta Dewi , Rahmawati Rita , Devy Happy Sista , Septiadi Muhammad Andi , Thoha Silvia Milady Azkiya
Published: June 2023

This research aims to analyze the legal practice of the employment agreement of women domestic workers when they enter into a work contract with their employers in Surakarta City, then to identify patterns of power relations between women domestic workers and their employers when they make their work agreements, and finally to explain the identity politics that attached to women domestic workers when they work in their employer's family. To analyze this phenomenon, a socio-legal study with a qualitative research approach is used. The results of the study show that the practice of working agreements between women domestic workers and their employers even though the work agreements are made in unwriiten, but in fact the values are in accordance with the essence of contract law as regulated in the provisions of the Civil Code (KUHPerdata).  The work agreement shows a contractual and contextual dimension. The working relationship between them is based on a sense of interdependence and high trust between one another. This pattern of giving and receiving can ultimately able to reflect the existence of an equal power relationship between the two when making a work agreement. Even though women domestic workers have been labeled as helpless, they have a confident character and are autonomous in completing their work agreements. This equal relationship can make the relationship between the two very close and intense. This condition has implications for the political transformation of the identity of women domestic workers from outsiders who become part of the insider of the temporary employer's family
The Accommodation of Customary Law to Islamic Law: Distribution of Inheritance in Aceh from a Pluralism Perspectives
Authors: Ilyas Ilyas , A.Rani Faisal , Bahri Syamsul , Sufyan Sufyan
Published: June 2023

With the emergence of receptie theory, there was a conflict between customary laws and Islamic law in the past, resulting in a protracted systemic conflict. However, the opposite occurs in the context of legal practices in Aceh, namely the accommodation of the two legal systems. This study aims to elucidate the incorporation of customary laws in Islamic law as it pertains to inheritance issues in Aceh. This study analyzes empirical legal research through the lens of legal pluralism. The data was gathered through in-depth interviews and literature reviews. This study found that various inheritance-related cases involving substitute successors, joint assets, heirs of different religions, and obligatory wills for adopted children are examples of how Islamic law accommodates customary laws. The two factors responsible for the accommodation of adat in Islamic law are the nature of the law, which is dynamic, elastic, and flexible, and the sociological condition and personality of the Acehnese, which support this integration. Moreover, this accommodation has a positive impact on the lives of people so that the maintenance and observance of adat or customs become firmer, the law functions as social control and Islamic law is cultivated in society. Theoretically, in the context of legal pluralism, accommodation between adat in Islamic law creates a space for harmonization as the main goal of this theory, not the theory of receptie which gives birth to conflicts and conflicts between legal systems.
Zakat for Mama Biang in Maluku, Indonesia: Ulama Opinion on Fīsabīlillāh in the Perspective of Islamic Legal Anthropology
Authors: Hannani Hannani , Haq Islamul , Amiruddin Muhammad Majdy , Haramain Muhammad
Published: June 2023

Giving zakat to mama biang is one of the problems of zakat distribution that has attracted controversy. In the people of Negeri Iha, Maluku, the giving of zakat mama biang has become a tradition that has survived into the modern era. The purpose of this study is to study the practice of distributing zakat to Mama Biang, the opinions of tafsir scholars and  the implications for  Islamic law. The study uses empirical legal studies with an anthropological approach to Islamic law. While data collection techniques are in-depth interviews and literature studies. This study concluded that the controversy over the distribution of zakat mama biang occurred due to differences in scholars' interpretations of the meaning of fīsabīlillāh which had implications for differences in people's understanding of Islamic law. People who maintain the tradition of zakat mama biang understand that the distribution of zakat mama biang is in accordance with Islamic law, relying on the opinion of scholars who expand the meaning of fīsabīlillāh to include mama biang. Meanwhile, some people understand that mama biang zakat is not in accordance with Islamic law.  The controversy over the distribution of zakat to mama biang also occurs because zakat is not distributed evenly to all existing asnaf, this  can also trigger gaps in society. Therefore, in the perspective of legal anthropology, the practice of giving to mama biang can continue as a local tradition, but this gift can be categorized as infaq or sadaqah, not zakat. So that this can give birth to harmonious legal implications between Islamic law and adat which has become living law.
The Tradition of Mappasikarawa in the Bugis-Makassar Community Marriage: A Study of Islamic Law Philosophy
Authors: Idrus Achmad Musyahid , Nurdin Roswati , Qayyum Rahman , Halim Patimah , Amir Rahmah
Published: June 2023

The Mappasikarawa tradition is a unique tradition carried out after the marriage ceremony by the Bugis Makassar community, this practice has become a polemic in society because it is considered only a tradition with no foundation in Islamic law. This study aims to discuss the Mappasikarawa tradition in the marriage of the Bugis Makassar community from the perspective of Islamic legal philosophy. This research is an empirical legal study using an Islamic legal philosophy approach. There are two ways used in collecting data, namely; in-depth interviews and literature studies. The research was conducted in five regions in South Sulawesi namely; Makassar, Maros, Pangkep, Gowa, and Wajo, while the informants interviewed were traditional leaders, religious leaders, academics, women's leaders and wedding couples. This study concludes that the Mappasikarawa tradition practiced by the Bugis-Makassar people has a historical basis that is rooted in Islamic law, especially a tradition of 'urf. The philosophical values contained in touching certain parts of the wife's body do not contain polytheism because touching the wife's body is always preceded by blessings on the prophet and accompanied by good prayers. Because of this, the Mappasikarawa tradition which originates from local Bugis-Makassar values can actually be said to be part of sunnah-hashanah and has relevance to Islamic law where both are manifestations of benefit for married couples.

Published: June 2023

The phenomenon of child marriage frequently disregards children's reproductive rights. This study aims to explain the negligence of reproductive rights in child marriages by examining practices, factors, and the impacts of such neglect on girls' human rights. This paper employs a qualitative descriptive approach, and the data was gathered through the use of keywords to search the term "neglect of women's reproductive rights in child marriage”. The data was analyzed by reducing, describing, and interpreting the data in depth in order to reach a conclusion. This paper demonstrates that the practice of child marriage not only places females in a disadvantageous position, but also has an impact on reproductive rights, which has negative repercussions for survival, such as miscarriage, baby blues syndrome, and death. It is also anticipated that this paper can serve as a resource for conducting research on child marriage and the neglect of girls' reproductive rights from a broader and more multidisciplinary perspective, so that it can be used as a basis for formulating firm policies on reproductive rights
Progressiveness of Islamic Economic Law in Indonesia: The Murā‘at Al-‘Ilal wa Al-Maṣāliḥ Approach
Authors: Hasanudin Hasanudin , Mubarok Jaih , Maulana Muhammad Al-Fayyad
Published: June 2023

Islamic economic law is unresponsive and tends to be legal-formal in supervising Sharia finance and economic development. Economics, in fact, emphasizes the aspects of flexibility and convenience. This study aims to reveal the response of fatwas to economic and financial developments using the murā‘at al-‘ilal wa al-maṣāliḥ approach. The study use qualitative research method. The study used qualitative research methods, analyzed using the proposed fiqh and fiqh approaches. The data studied is the fatwa of the National Sharia Council (Dewan Syariah Nasional/DSN) of the Indonesian Ulema Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia/MUI). This fatwa is examined by comparing chronologically the time, the opinion of the clergy, and economic developments. The three fatwas became the focus and debate of scholars examined to find patterns in responding to the needs of financial and economic transactions. As a result, fatwas are dynamic and responsive to industry needs. The law can change since the legal reasons (‘illat) behind it also changes. The existence of a law lies in how the cause of the law works; hence, in fatwa, there are things changing and some are permanent legal provisions. This finding has implications for corrections to previous legal provisions and changes to contracts made between financial institutions and clients.

Published: June 2023

Parenting education plays an important role in fostering healthy family character, supporting child development, and ensuring family resilience. This research aims to apply Islamic values in parenting practices, examine the role of culture and community support, understand challenges and parenting strategies, analyze gender roles, and assess the effectiveness of parenting education programs in Aceh. The study uses qualitative methods, and analysis using parenting theory. Semi-structured interviews and literature studies were used to collect data. The analysis includes coding of qualitative data, classification, and interpretation. Ethical considerations are enforced throughout the research process, to ensure respondent consent, privacy, and confidentiality and address potential researcher bias. The results of the study concluded that parenting education requires support from Islamic values, culture, community encouragement, fair and good parenting, gender roles, and parenting education programs. Parenting education for Islamic families in Aceh based on religious values (such as monotheism and piety) and Islamic culture has been proven to create family resilience. The tsunami incident is clear evidence of the resilience of the Acehnese family based on Islamic values and religious culture. On the other hand, religious leaders and educators can encourage and enhance this parenting education model in society. The findings of this study have practical implications for developing parenting education programs and interventions that are sensitive to values and culture in promoting well-being, the Islamic family model and family resilience in Aceh, Indonesia.

Performance Enhancement of Femto-Macro Networks through Assorted Interference Lessening Systems
Authors: Elgazzar Osama H. , Mahmoud Imbaby I.
Published: June 2023

This paper is concerned with improving the performance of heterogenous
networks through interference reduction. So, cross-tier interference
(CrTI) and co-tier interference (CoTI) are considered using two
dissimilar interference lessening strategies. The first strategy
represents frequency partitioning to reduce CrTI. Moreover, the second
strategy considers two different models for CoTI lessening. These models
signify traditional network and collaborative beamforming (B
F) network. Furthermore, there are two different
arrangements in collaborative B F network. These
arrangements represent femto base station (BS) do B F
and macro BS do B F. Additionally, each cooperative B
F arrangement applies the vertical (Vr) B
F, three dimensional (3-D) B F, and
horizontal (Hr) B F. Therefore, each arrangement
consists of three different cases according to the applied B
F technique. Consequently, six dissimilar cases are
considered along with two traditional cases. Furthermore, the two
traditional cases represent the behavior of macro BS and femto BS
without applying B F techniques in the traditional
network. Also, a comparison of all cases in different models is
introduced to enhance the network performance. Analytical treatments are
conducted. As a result, closed-form equations for worst case user’s
signal-to-interference ratio in macro-cell and femto-cell tiers are
implemented. These closed forms are used to draw the comparison of all
cases using numerous performance evaluation metrics. The results
demonstrate, that Vr B F outperforms 3-D B
F in certain conditions. Furthermore, arrangement of
femto BS applies B F is superior to the other
arrangement in high pathloss exponent (P E) range.
But, it does worse than macro BS applies B F
arrangement in low P E range. The work results
contribute in improving system performance as well as keeping the
network cost low.
Green energy management in DC microgrids enhanced with Robust Model Predictive Control and Muddled Tuna Swarm MPPT
Authors: Buchibabu P. , JARUPULA SOMLAL
Published: June 2023

In recent years, extreme focus on renewable energy has intensified due
to environmental concerns and the depletion of fossil fuel supplies. In
a DC micro grid that includes photovoltaic (PV), wind, and battery
storage systems, this research proposes an integrated strategy for
energy management and battery management. The Robust Model Predictive
Control (RMPC) method is proposed to deal with uncertainties and
disturbances while offering the best possible control options. A
comparison of the two algorithms reveals that the RMPC performs better
than the conventional MPC method. To harvest the most solar electricity
from the PV system, a sophisticated MPPT optimisation technique called
Muddled Tuna Swarm Optimisation (MTSO) is applied. Drone Squadron
Optimisation (DSO) and Slime Mould Optimisation (SMO) are outperformed
by MTSO in terms of dynamic performance, effectively monitoring the
maximum power point (MPP) of the PV system, and increasing overall
energy output. The suggested RMPC approach and MTSO technique are
effective in achieving optimal energy and battery management as well as
maximum solar power extraction, according to the simulation findings. On
the OPAL-RT platform, real-time simulation is used to test the control
strategy.
An assessment of fiscal space for immunisation financing in Zambia
Authors: Chompolola Abson , Chama-Chiliba Chitalu , Simuyemba Moses Chikoti , Sinyangwe Aaron , Bchir Abdallah , Asiimwe Gilbert , Masiye Felix
Published: June 2023

Background. Despite an increase in immunisation coverage
rates and number vaccines offered in Zambia over the past decade, the
financial sustainability to maintain these gains is uncertain. This
paper analyses availability of fiscal space to sustain the immunisation
programme in Zambia in the short to medium term.
Methods. We assessed fiscal space using a standard
framework consisting of five pillars: economic growth, expenditure
reprioritisation, grants and loans, earmarking of funds, and efficiency
gains on existing outlays. To determine fiscal space from the five
sources, we applied various analytical techniques including regression
analysis on time series data from 1995-2018, Data Envelopment Analysis
on cross section administrative data from a sample of 25 health
districts, and benchmarking. Results. The evidence shows
that fiscal space for immunisation in Zambia is negligible. Health
spending is too weakly related to national income to generate fiscal
space from economic growth. Reprioritisation of expenditure is difficult
because of the huge burden from sovereign debt. Further, introducing new
taxes barely three years after the introduction of a social health
insurance tax is politically not feasible. Additionally, grants from
donors are erratic and likely to diminish in the medium to long-run.
However, fiscal space from efficiency gains is quite substantial.
Conclusions. Prospects for increasing funding for
immunisation from the five sources of fiscal space are minimal. However,
efficiency gains in the immunisation programme can go a long way in
freeing up resources. The challenge lies in identifying and resolving
the sources of technical inefficiency.
Signatures of tRNA Glx -specificity in bacterial glutamyl-tRNA synthetases
Authors: Basu Gautam , Dasgupta Saumya , Dev Aditya , Chongdar Nipa
Published: June 2023

The canonical function of glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS) is to
glutamylate tRNA . Yet, not all bacterial GluRSs
glutamylate tRNA ; many glutamylate both tRNA
and tRNA , while some
glutamylate only tRNA and not the cognate
substrate tRNA . Understanding the basis of this
unique tRNA -specificity is important. Mutational
studies have hinted at hotspot residues, both on tRNA
and GluRS, that play crucial roles in tRNA
-specificity. But the underlying structural basis
remains unexplored. Majority of biochemical studies related to tRNA
-specificity have been performed on GluRS from
Escherichia coli and other proteobacterial species. However,
since the early crystal structures of GluRS and tRNA
-bound GluRS were from non-proteobacterial species
( Thermus thermophilus), the proteobacterial biochemical data
have often been interpreted in the context of non-proteobacterial GluRS
structures. Marked differences between proteo- and non-proteobacterial
GluRSs have been demonstrated and therefore it is important that tRNA
-specificity be understood vis-a-vis
proteobacterial GluRS structures. Towards this goal we have solved the
crystal structure of GluRS from E. coli. Using the solved
structure and several other currently available proteo- and
non-proteobacterial GluRS crystal structures, we have probed the
structural basis of tRNA -specificity of bacterial
GluRSs. Specifically, our analysis suggests a unique role played by a
tRNA D-helix contacting loop of GluRS in
modulation of tRNA -specificity. While earlier
studies had identified functional hotspots on tRNA
that controlled tRNA -specificity of GluRS, this is
the first report of complementary signatures of tRNA
-specificity in GluRS.
Urbanization impacts short- but not long-distance natal dispersal in a common orb web spider

Urban environments represent a theatre for life history evolution.
Species able to survive in cities can adapt to the local and often
divergent environmental conditions compared to rural or natural
environments. Dispersal determines establishment, gene flow, and thus
the potential for local adaptation. Since habitats in urban environments
are highly fragmented, and showing substantial turnover, contrasting
adaptive effects on dispersal are expected. Fragmentation selects
against dispersal while patch turn-over is expected to promote the
evolution of dispersal. We here show both processes to act in concert
when different scales are considered. Dispersal behaviour of juvenile,
lab-reared garden spiders from two mid-sized European cities were tested
under standardized conditions. While long-distance dispersal showed to
be overall rare, short-distance dispersal strategies increased with
urbanization at small scales, but declined when urbanization was
quantified at large scales. We discuss the putative drivers behind these
differences in natal dispersal and highlight its importance for urban
evolution and ecology.
Inferring phylogenetic structure, taxa hybridization, and divergence times within Aschizomys (Cricetidae: Alticola) using quaddRAD sequencing and a cytb dataset
Authors: Dvoyashov Ivan , Bodrov Semyon , Glagoleva Elena , Mamaev Nikolay , Abramson Natalia
Published: June 2023

The subgenus Aschizomys belongs to the genus Alticola (Central Asian
mountain vole) and consists of two species: Alticola macrotis and
Alticola lemminus. Phylogenetic relationships within the subgenus
Aschizomys remain obscure due to limited sampling, an insufficient
number of molecular markers used in phylogenetic studies, and paraphyly
observed on mitochondrial trees. In this work, to infer reliable
phylogenetic relationships and evaluate putative scenarios of ancient
hybridization within the subgenus, we applied double-digest restriction
site–associated DNA paired-end (quaddRAD) sequencing to 20 DNA samples
(20 individuals), including five species of the genus Alticola, and
dated the divergence of cytochrome b (cytb) lineages within Aschizomys
using a “second calibration” approach. We showed monophyly of the two
species on the basis of thousands of nuclear loci and demonstrated
traces of introgression also in the nuclear genome. Observed paraphyly
in cytb could be explained by an introgression event rather than
incomplete lineage sorting. This explanation was confirmed by an
analysis of the cytb divergence time. Overall, our results support the
hypothesis of extensive migration of the Aschizomys species during the
Late Pleistocene, with this migration leading to population divergence
and introgression. We expect our article to become a starting point for
a series of rigorous studies on the population history of the genus
Alticola as a whole.
A framework for identifying factors controlling cyanobacterium Microcystis flos-aquae blooms by coupled CCM-ECCM Bayesian networks
Authors: Tal Ofir , Ostrovsky Ilia , Gal Gideon
Published: June 2023

1. Cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater sources are a global concern, and
gaining insight into their causes is crucial for effective resource
management and control. 2. In this study, we present a computational
framework for the causal analysis of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms
(cyanoHABs) in Lake Kinneret. Our framework integrates Convergence Cross
Mapping (CCM) and Extended CCM (ECCM) causal networks with Bayesian
Network (BN) models. 3. The constructed CCM - ECCM causal networks and
BN models unveil significant interactions among factors influencing
cyanoHAB formation. These interactions have been validated by domain
experts and supported by evidence from peer-reviewed publications. Our
findings suggest that M. flos-aquae levels are influenced not only by
community structure but also by nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, phosphate,
oxygen, and temperature levels in the weeks preceding bloom occurrences.
4. We have demonstrated a non-parametric computational framework for the
causal analysis of a multivariate ecosystem. Our framework offers a more
comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving M.
flos-aquae in Lake Kinneret. It captures complex interactions and
provides an explainable prediction model. By considering causal
relationships, temporal dynamics, and joint probabilities of
environmental factors, the proposed framework enhances our understanding
of cyanoHABs in Lake Kinneret.
Selected aspects of the design and construction of reinforced concrete sunk wells
Authors: Anna Szymczak-Graczyk
Published: June 2023

The article provides basic information on the design and construction of sunk wells. Sunk wells are enginee-ring structures commonly used in construction, particularly under difficult soil conditions or when construction sites have a small area. Sunk wells are made using the “cut and lower” method, which means that the first segment to be lowered is equipped with a cutting-edge section (bottom blade) that cuts into the soil and the structure sinks into it. In design, it is necessary to take into account the phased execution of these structures and their spatial work. The article presents the loads working during the construction and operation of sunk wells, as well as the assumptions and guidelines for static calculations and dimensioning. When the sunk well steining is significantly high (the well is embedded deep), concreting and lowering are most often performed in two or three segments. The article describes the subsequent steps taken during the implementation of sunk wells, constantly changing static diagrams and the method of adopting them in calculations. It also presents the method of lowering sunk wells with possible implementation difficulties. The article is supplemented with exemplary drawings of the steining reinforcement, cutting-edge section and bottom plate of the well and the photos of selected realizations.

arising as solutions of ODE problems. Given their dependence on natural
bases, matrix Lie groups provide a suitable framework where considering
time-variant evolution algebras. We conclude by broadening our approach by
considering continuous evolution algebras stemming as flow lines on matrix
Lie groups.

In this article, we establish the existence and uniqueness of (c1)-differentiable and (c2)- differentiable solutions to first-order nonlinear impulsive fuzzy differential equations under generalized Hukuhara differentiability using the contraction mappings principle. In particular, (c1)-differentiable solutions are written as hyperbolic cosine and sine functions with impulsive terms, which is the main difficulty. An example is provided to prove our results.
Determination of Non-ionizing Radiation and Shielding Studies of a New DC Plasma Device
Authors: SARIKAHYA Nihan Merve , SARIKAHYA Mehmet , KURT Erol
Published: June 2023

In the present work, the determination of the electromagnetic radiation and shielding studies of a new designed and constructed portative plasma device have been reported. For this aim, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurements are performed. The device works with high voltage up to 2 kV depending on its filling gas pressure and contains a couple of terminals in the low pressurized chamber to form plasma structures confined in terms of electrical and magnetic confinement. The chamber as a simple torus geometry has been operated with He gas for the plasma stability explorations. The EMI measurements have been practiced for different distances from the setup and used different shielding materials to prevent the non-ionizing radiation. According to detailed tests with different shielding materials (Swatter, Square, Honeycomb) it is observed that the shape of the shielding material is very important for the optimum shielding results.

The membrane attack complex of complement alters the membrane integrity of cultured endothelial cells: a possible pathophysiology for immune complex vasculitis.
Authors: Kawana S.
Published: June 2023

Recently, the possibility of direct involvement of the membrane attack complex of complement in the endothelial damage of immune complex vasculitis has been pointed out. However, no studies have so far elucidated this mechanism. The present study investigated the effects of complement on the membrane integrity of endothelial cells, using the fluorescein diacetate and ethidium bromide staining method. Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells were maintained in medium containing 10% zymosan-activated normal human serum. Cell detachment began to occur after 3 h of incubation, and the number of fluorescein diacetate-positive adherent cells decreased significantly, whereas that of ethidium bromide-positive detached cells increased significantly. Heat inactivation of the serum or replacement of the complement source with non-activated normal human serum or C5-, C7- or C9-deficient serum resulted in complete inhibition of these effects. These results suggest that complement induces detachment of endothelial cells by altering the cell membrane integrity and support the contention that the membrane attack complex of complement plays a significant role in the mechanisms of endothelial cell damage in immune complex vasculitis.

A Rare Case of Coronary Artery Fistula on Vieussens Arterial Ring
Authors: Pacielli Alberto
Published: June 2023

Coronary artery fistulas represent an abnormal communication between coronary circulation and heart chambers or any segment of pulmonary or systemic circulation, without an intervening capillary network. Seldom, this connection can arise on a conotruncal anastomotic variant linking the anterior descending artery and the right coronary artery or a conus artery originating from the right coronary sinus, known as Vieussens’ arterial ring. Here we discuss a case of a 73-yearold man undergoing a coronary CT angiography because of recurrent chest pain and cardiovascular risk factors; the exam showed multiple aneurismatic sacs on a Vieussens arterial ring, associated with a fistulous connection between one of the aneurysms and the main pulmonary artery, highlighted by an hyper dense jet of contrast medium within its lumen. We spotted also enlarged right and left pulmonary arteries and right ventricular dilatation, with a mild hemodynamic overload on echocardiographic evaluation. A coronary angiography confirmed the findings shown by CT scan. After a multidisciplinary discussion, the interventional cardiology team decided to close the fistulous connection. Therefore, in a subsequent procedure the malformation was treated by catheterizing the branch stemming from the anterior descending artery and placing embolization coils in the first aneurysmatic sac and in the vessel itself; the same treatment was performed on the branch originating from the right coronary sinus. Final angiographic control showed complete exclusion of the saccular aneurysms from the circulation and closure of the associated fistula. There was no peri or post-procedural complication.
A Radiologist Approach to Acute Parenchymal Hemorrhages: How to Intercept Shrouded Dragons
Authors: Mubarak Fatima
Published: June 2023

Primary intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) or hemorrhagic strokes etiology is unknown in the initial stage. The location, size and morphology are three important factors when reading the scan of intracranial hemorrhage. Clinical ICH score correlates with a 30 day mortality which takes into consideration admission Glasgow coma scale,>80 years old, ICH volume, infratentorial and presence of intraventricular hemorrhage. Management includes finding the cause of hemorrhage or symptomatic management.
Spontaneous Achilles tendon Rupture in Calcaneus Osteomyelitis
Authors: Husain Zahra SM
Published: June 2023

Background: Achilles tendon is the most common injured tendon in the lower limb. Spontaneous rupture is attributed to some intrinsic and extrinsic factors in which medications side effect (e.g. corticosteroids and quinolones) is the most common reported cause in the literature. Case presentation: we present a case of 76-year-old female known case of uncontrolled type II diabetes and hypertrophic right Charcot foot. She was diagnosed with chronic foot osteomyelitis for which she received long course of ceftriaxone. Six month following completing the antibiotic course, she presented with fever and malaise with decreased right foot range of motion in the absence of traumatic event. Upon requesting multiple imaging modalities, she was diagnosed with acute Achilles tendon rupture in the setting of acute on top of chronic calcaneus osteomyelitis. Conclusion: AT rupture in the setting of osteomyelitis is a rare entity and has not been reported previously in the literature. This case will bring the attention in evaluating the tendons thoroughly in cases of osteomyelitis.

Induction of Labor on Maternal Request: Do Not Refuse This Option to Women
Authors: Marcais Marianne
Published: June 2023

Objective: To describe perinatal outcomes in a population of labour induction on maternal request, whatever the obstetrical conditions. Methods: This retrospective single-centre study included all women who underwent labour induction on maternal request between January 2019 and May 2020. The primary outcome was perinatal outcomes: data about maternal and fetal morbidity were collected. The secondary outcome was the cesarean rate. Data were compared according to the delivery outcome (“vaginal delivery” Vs “cesarean section” group) to identify risk factors for cesarean delivery. Multivariate analysis was performed by adjusting for confounding factors such as Bishop score, prior cesarean section, parity, BMI, maternal, fetal presentation, gestational age, method of ripening, and the number of ripening’s stages needed. Results: We included 86 women. There was no risk factor for poor perinatal outcomes. Vaginal delivery occurs in 96,3 % (n=78/86) of all women. In primiparous women and the “prior cesarean-section group”, this rate was 92,9% and 76,9%, respectively. We didn’t find any statistical difference between the “vaginal delivery” and “cesarean section” groups. Conclusion: Induction of labour on maternal request should be widely accepted regarding the low risk of cesarean section and the absence of predictive risk factor of it.
Making Meaning of Reducing Boarding House Costs during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Dharma Dewa Made Adi , Bakry Mohammad Iqbal , Jurana Jurana
Published: June 2023

This study aims to investigate the meaning of "cost" of boarding houses in the COVID-19 pandemic for boarding house entrepreneurs in Palu City, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study uses the transcendental phenomenology approach of the interpretive paradigm. The interview, observation, and documentation were used to collect research data. The results of the study found three types of costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the cost of boarding is interpreted as a noble good. Second, the cost of boarding is interpreted as a benefit to others. Third, the cost of boarding is interpreted as a deferred liability. These three meanings were then synergized into a sense of gratitude as a result of exploring the essence and meaning of bearing costs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
