Published: February 2023

Introduction: Inguinal endometriosis is a rare type of extra-pelvic endometriosis, which may occur in the absence of symptoms of intra-pelvic endometriosis. This case report highlights the importance of considering inguinal endometriosis in the workup of an inguinal mass and demonstrates a step-by-step surgical approach to management, with an accompanying video.

Case Report: We encountered a case of a 31-year-old nulligravid woman who presented with a painful right inguinal mass. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, which was notable for Stage 1 intra-pelvic endometriosis, without involvement of the internal inguinal ring or round ligament. The inguinal mass was carefully resected from nearby vessels, muscles, and nerves. Pathology confirmed endometriosis.

Conclusion: Gynecologists, in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, should be prepared to workup, diagnose, and surgically manage inguinal endometriosis. When this condition is suspected, imaging should be obtained, and tissue biopsy may be considered, provided that a hernia has been ruled out. Surgical management is typically recommended and should entail diagnostic laparoscopy and excisional surgery.
LAGOS STATE'S USE OF MOTORCYCLES FOR TRANSPORTATION: SWEET NIGHTMARE
Authors: GIWA M.O.
Published: February 2023

In Lagos, the use of motorcycles as a mode of transportation has gained popularity. It is frequently used and favored by residents due to its capacity to help people save time, get rid of traffic jams and terrible roads, and attend to urgent needs. Despite its clear advantages, this means of transport has been blamed for an increase in ridership-related crimes. Therefore, the study looked at how Lagos perceived crime among Okada riders. A sample size of 400 respondents was used for the study, and data were gathered using methodological triangulation (the use of both quantitative and qualitative methodologies) (375 randomly selected respondents for the survey and 25 purposefully selected respondents for the qualitative data). The study also revealed that, although it is popularly believed that Okada riders commit crimes, the majority of people hold the opinion that not all Okada riders are hazardous. Findings demonstrate the seriousness of the effects Okada crimes have on their victims, including the loss of lives, destruction of property, physical harm, psychological distress, and stress. The study also finds that there is a strong correlation between the perception of crimes and the usage of Okada and that women are more vulnerable to Okada crimes than men because they are frequently viewed as weaker and simpler targets.

Published: February 2023

Digital transformation in the industrial era 4.0 has changed the new face of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to achieve sustainable and inclusive economic independence. The potential for natural wealth, human resources and opportunities as an agricultural country are factors that influence success in the global economy. In its implementation, MSMEs have had mental readiness for the application of digital literacy. However, this will not run synergistically without simultaneous and gradual efforts to guard and improve digitalization technology in agricultural businesses. The fishery sub-sectoral agricultural business for catfish species is a supporting sector for Indonesia's food security. With this urgency, the application of digitization of agricultural businesses must be guarded from the production chain to distribution on a national and international scale.
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ISLAMIC LAW IN INDONESIA
Authors: Samsidar Jamaluddin  , Muhrim Djakat  , Hidayatussalam Hidayatussalam , Sabri Samin  , Misbahuddin
Published: February 2023

Islamic law only became an authoritative source (a legal source that has legal force) in constitutional law when the Jakarta Charter was placed in the Republic of Indonesia's Presidential Decree dated 5 July 159 as can be seen in the preamble to the Decree as follows: "That we believe that the Jakarta Charter is dated 22 June 1945 animates the 1945 Constitution and constitutes a series of units in the Constitution.” The word "animating" negatively means that it is not permissible to make laws in the Indonesian state that are contrary to Islamic law for its adherents. Even though Islamic law has failed to be obtained by Islamic parties, the opportunity to make laws based on or inspired by Islamic law through the mechanism of representative democracy in Indonesia is still wide open. Challenges faced by Islamic law The toughest challenge at this time does not lie in the constitutional logic of accommodating Islamic law in national law, but in the dialectics between secular currents of Western thought and expressions of the diversity of Muslims which sometimes creates phobias.
DUE TO LEGAL CANCELLATION OF LAND PURCHASE DEED
Authors: Indrati Rini
Published: February 2023

Deed of sale and purchase of land as evidence of the transfer of ownership rights to land, including the buildings/houses on it. The transfer of ownership rights to land can be done through a sale and purchase agreement. The land sale and purchase agreement, including the building/house on it, must be carried out by the parties before an authorized official, namely a Notary/Land Deed Making Officer. To ensure legal certainty of the transfer of ownership rights to land, it is stated in the form of an authentic deed. The validity of the land sale and purchase deed is determined by the legal terms of the agreement which must be fulfilled by the seller and the buyer. The deed of sale and purchase of land can be canceled by a judge, which in practice, cases often occur which give rise to legal consequences for the cancellation of the deed of sale and purchase of land.

Background: People with HIV who use injecting drugs besides taking ARVs also use methadone. With these conditions, of course there will be a risk of causing various side effects. Based on this, researchers are interested in exploring the physical side effects experienced by PLWHA IDUs while using ARV therapy and Methadone. Method: This qualitative research uses a phenomenological study approach. Participants were taken based on criteria referring to the purposive sampling technique (snowball sampling). Participants were PLWHA with a history of injecting drug users (IDU) aged 20 years and over and had undergone ARV therapy and Methadone maintenance therapy for at least 6 months. Researchers conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews and used Colaizzi's data analysis stages. Results: HIV AIDS sufferers who inject drug users experience physical side effects on the digestive system, namely tooth decay, constipation, anorexia. Side effects on the musculoskeletal system include muscle pain and weakness and insomnia. Side effects of the covering system are the appearance of itching and rashes. Side effect on the reproductive system is a decrease in sexual function. Recommendation: The results of this study need to be followed up with studies with a larger number of participants so that they can represent other problems experienced by PLWHA while using ARV therapy and methadone together.

Authors: Sufyati HS  , Hanifah Hanifah , Sofia Maulida
Published: February 2023

Islamic stocks are securities in the form of shares that have and do not conflict with Islamic principles in the capital market. Investment in Islamic stocks is currently experiencing quite significant developments, so investors are looking at it from the side of the growth of their stock prices. One of the factors that affect stock prices is fundamental factors. The fundamental factors in this study are described as independent variables, namely the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER), Net Profit Margin (NPM), and Earning Per share (EPS), while the dependent variable is the Indonesian Sharia Stock Price in the Financial Sector which is listed in the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI). This study aims to analyze the effect of DER, NPM, and EPS on Indonesian Sharia Stock Prices in the financial sector listed in the ISSI Index. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with multiple linear regression data analysis. The results of this study show that the Debt-to-Equity Ratio has a negative and insignificant effect on Sharia Stock Prices. Net Profit Margin has a positive but not significant to Islamic Stock Prices. Earning Per-share has a negative and not significant to Islamic Stock Prices. The ability of the DER, NPM, and EPS variables to explain variations in changes in the stock price variable is only 10.5%, whereas the remaining 80.5% can be influenced by other variables not examined. The implication of this study is that investors in investing do not only consider fundamental factors but other factors that are very significant to fluctuations in Islamic stock prices.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Spinal Mobilization With Leg Movement (SMWLM) and Traction Straight Leg Raise (TSLR) on limited range of motion and lumbar functional impairment in herniated nucleus pulposus patients. The research method is an experiment with a pre-test – post-test two group design. A total of 24 herniated nucleus pulposus patients were simply randomized into 2 groups, namely group I was given Mobilization With Leg Movement and group II was given Traction Straight Leg Raise. The results showed that the range of motion for group I obtained a value of p = 0.045 and functional lumbar with a value of p = 0.012. In group II, a value of p = 0.001 was obtained for range of motion and functional lumbar with a value of p = 0.001. The independent t-test obtained a value of p = 0.000 for range of motion and a value of p = 0.001 for lumbar functional value. Based on the findings of this study, SMWLM and TSLR have a significant effect on improving the range of motion and lumbar function in patients with herniated nucleus pulposus, but SMWLM is more effective than TSLR in increasing range of motion and lumbar function in patients with herniated nucleus pulposus

A gyermekek pénzügyi nevelése olyan pénzügyi tudást generál, amely nélkülözhetetlen az életben való eligazodáshoz. Ugyanakkor a hazai felnőtt lakosság pénzügyi műveltsége és kultúrája, pénzügyi tudása csekély. Így a közoktatás feladatává vált, a gazdasági és pénzügyi alapismeretek átadása, mind formális, mind nem formális formában. Már kisiskoláskortól érdemes pénzügyi ismereteket átadni ahhoz, hogy tudatosan gondolkodó felnőtt generáció nőjön fel. Különböző életszakaszokban cselekedtetve, játékos formában a gyermekek fogékonyak ezen ismeretek befogadására is. A sajátos nevelési igényű hallgatók esetén azonban speciális pedagógia eszközök alkalmazása is indokolt, amire a tanulmányban is kitérünk.

Authors: Radwan Nagat Ali Anham
Published: February 2023

Linking English language proficiency and employability skills together is supported by the general agreement in the language literature. Communication skills are highly valued as a graduate attribute for employability. For diagnosing the integration of employability skills in English courses, a survey questionnaire was presented to a panel of EFL instructors and EFL learners and graduates at the College of Sciences and Arts in Uglat Asugour, Qassim University. The results of the survey indicated that EFL students are lacking employability skills. Methodologies of instructors need to be developed to adhere to the integration of employability skills in English language courses. Moreover, it has been found that authentic assessment should replace traditional content assessment.

Authors: Marmor Meir T. , Coufal Sarah , Parel Philip M. , Rezaei Arash , Morshed Saam
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

An increasing number of fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma surgeons are working in non–Level I centers. This study aimed to examine trends of management of complex orthopaedic trauma in Level I centers versus non–Level I centers and its potential effect on patient outcomes.

Methods:

Data from the National Trauma Data Bank from 2008 to 2017 were analyzed. Non–Level I to Level I center ratios for complex fractures and complication rates, median hours to procedure for time-sensitive fractures, and uninsured/underinsured rates of Level I and non–Level I centers were recorded.

Results:

Three hundred one thousand patients were included. A statistically significant downward trend was identified in the percent of all complex orthopaedic trauma at Level I centers and per-hospital likelihood of seeing a complex orthopaedic fracture in a Level I versus non–Level I hospital. Per-hospital complication rates were consistently lower in non–Level I hospitals after controlling for injury severity and payer mix. Time-sensitive fractures were treated earlier in non–Level I centers.

Discussion:

This study demonstrates a reduction of complex trauma treatment in Level I centers that did not translate to adverse effects on patient outcomes. Policymakers should notice this trend to ensure the continued quality of orthopaedic trauma training and maintenance of expertise in complex fracture management.

Published: February 2023

Objectives: To describe the knowledge of recurrence prevention and to find the factors affecting the knowledge of recurrence prevention among patients with gastrointestinal bleeding due to peptic ulcer.
Subjects and methods: a descriptive study was conducted on 128 patients who were diagnosed with gastrointestinal bleeding caused by peptic ulcer and were inpatients at the Department of Gastroenterology - Blood Diseases, 354 Military Hospital 354 from March to August 2021. The questionnaire which was developed by Nguyen Huyen Trang was used to interview patients.
Results: The patients’ general knowledge score of recurrence prevention was 23.56 ± 6.40. The total score of knowledge of recurrence prevention was quite good 23.56 ± 6.40. The score of knowledge of the disease was 5.58±2.01; The percentage of patients with correct knowledge about the content of relapse prevention was different such as diet (85.94%), coffee use (59.37%), tobacco use (54.69%) ), ensure food hygiene (84.38%). Patients with intermediate or higher education had good or very good knowledge higher than patients with high school education level 6.0 times (OR= 6.0, p<0.001, CI: 2.3-10, 4). Patients who are civil servants have good or very good knowledge higher than the group of patients who are workers, farmers, and pensioners 2.083 times (OR=2.083, p<0.001; CI: 1.05-4.46). Patients living in the urban had 3.73 times better knowledge than patients in rural areas (OR=3.73; p<0.001; CI: 1.74-6.67).
Conclusion: The general knowledge of patients about the recurrence prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding was quite good. However, there was still a certain percentage of patients who did not have the correct knowledge. It is necessary to have health education programs for patients to improve their knowledge of recurrence prevention of hemorrhage peptic ulcers.

Comparative Evaluation of Bacterial Population Among Smokers and Non-Smokers
Authors: Mohamed P , Geetha R , Lakshmi T
Published: February 2023

Background: Cigarette smoking kills more than 4,80,000 people every year, this also includes people that do not smoke
(CDC, 2014). Cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of death which includes Oral cancer, bronchitis, emphysema
and many other life threatening conditions. In the study, the effect of smoking on bacterial populations was compared to
healthy non-smoking individuals to observe different variants of bacterial growth.
Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the various types of bacterial growth observed in smokers and non-smokers.
Method: Saliva samples were collected from 10 smokers and 10 non-smokers and the samples were processed for isolation
of both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Saliva samples plated into BHI agar and blood agar and incubated at 37 degrees
for 24 hrs for isolation of aerobic organisms and in anaerobic jar with Gaspak for isolation of anaerobic organisms and the
bacterial growth was identified by Colony morphology, Gram staining and biochemical reactions.
Results: Smokers showed significant bacterial diversity compared to non-smokers. Though some organisms like
Streptococcus, Prevotella, Neisseria, Enterococcus were isolated from both smokers and non-smokers, few pathogens like
Lactobacilli bacilli, Porphytomonas were isolated from smokers. Therefore these pathogens play an important role in
Periodontal disease and septic disease.
Conclusion: From the study, we can conclude that smoking significantly alters the bacterial population which may favor
periodontal disease. Public awareness should be created on the health implications of smoking and poor oral hygiene.
A study on junk food consumption of 1st-year MBBS students aged 19–21 years of batch 2021–22 at Sri Siddhartha Medical College and Hospital, Tumakuru
Authors: A Deepali , Prakash Chaitanyaa
Published: February 2023

Background: As per National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, “Junk food is foods containing little or no proteins, vitamins, or minerals but are rich in salt, sugar, fats, and are high in energy (calories).” Many studies show junk foods have an adverse effect on both physical and mental health.

Aims and Objectives: This study was taken up to take an insight into the adverse effects of excess calorie consumption during stress which is associated obesity and depression.

Materials and Methods: A study on junk food consumption at SSMC, Tumkur to study the relationship between mental and physical health with the consumption of junk food among 1st-year MBBS students. A cross-sectional study was done on 1st-year MBBS students aged 19–21 year at SSMC, Tumkur with the approval of Institutional Ethics Committee. A modified questionnaire was circulated among 150 1st year MBBS students aged 19–21 years at SSMC, Tumkur through Google forms. The data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics and interpreted.

Results: About 49% of the participants consumed junk foods regularly with 34% of the participants consuming more than once per week. More than 65% of participants consumed junk food in the evening. Around 46% of participants preferred weekend to consume junk foods. More than 50% of the participants consume junk foods when they are residing in hostel rather than home. More than 70% of the participants prefer junk food consumption during screen time.

Conclusion: Factors that have led to consumption of junk food are affordability and cravings. Preference of consumption of carbonated drinks with junk food is also high. The study also shows a strong association of junk food consumption with stress and screen time behavior. Due to its low nutritional value, junk food should be discouraged. Hence, awareness program should be included in to the curriculum of all medical students and in other professions also.
Evaluation and Education of Standard Chinese Single Vowel Pronunciation Based on Speech Analysis
Authors:   The Korean Society of Human and Nature, Kwon Yongsil
Published: February 2023

This study analyzed the experimental reports of current or preliminary Chinese teachers attending Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Graduate School of Education to present a standard Chinese vowel pronunciation evaluation and education using speech analysis technology.
As a result of the study, it was found that accurate pronunciation diagnosis was possible through the formants table used for vowel speech analysis, and specific and intuitive correction measures that can be applied in the field were needed to lead to pronunciation correction. In other words, in the vowel correction plan, rather than the expression of moving the position of the tongue to high, low, or front and back, it was found that high-operability and efficient guidance such as “Open your mouth wide.” or “Open your mouth small.”, “Pout your lips.” or “Flat your lips.” was needed.
Through this study, I felt the need to melt related terminology in the pronunciation curriculum as well as pronunciation evaluation and education using speech analysis technology, and second, I felt the need to study abdominal vowels, consonants, intonation, and strength based on speech analysis technology. In particular, pronunciation evaluation and education based on voice analysis technology will serve as the first button in establishing an automatic pronunciation evaluation system in the future, so more active research should be conducted in this area.
Genre division of Pansori Nun dae mok and the task of modern re-creation: Focusing on ‘Sarangga’ in Pansori
Authors:   The Korean Society of Human and Nature, Jo Sunja
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study is to seek the task of genre differentiation and re-creation of Pansori, paying attention to the ‘Love song’ of , which was developed through the deonum of several master singers. Today, Pansori ‘Sarangga’ is performed along with traditional Pansori in Gayageum Byeongchang, Changgeuk, crossover, fusion Korean music, and fusion genres. The details from the perspective of Pansori 'typical' are as follows. First, among the editorials of ‘Jajinsarangga’ handed down through the deonum(더늠) of Go Soo-gwan, ‘Eumsik Taryeong(음식타령)’ is sung by all singers regardless of school. Second, as a result of examining the musical characteristics, the buchimsae(부침새) and melodic composition of the lyrics were maintained without change in the same genealogy, and there were differences among the genealogies of different genealogies. However, the cadence of the melody appeared the same regardless of the class or genre. Third, Gayageum Byeongchang and Changgeuk, which are derived from genres of Pansori, maintained the lyrics as typical, and Gayageum Byeongchang had a change in melodic progression. Fourth, in the case of crossover, fusion Korean music, and fusion genres grafted with Pansori, the composition method of ‘Aniri-Chang’ was maintained in common, and there were differences by singers in melody or rhythm.
The task of recreating Pansori in the 21st Century begins with identifying the elements of archetype. For the development of Pansori, traditional pansori must be handed down in its original form, and the typical elements that represent the essential characteristics of pansori must be maintained in grafting with other genres including creative Pansori and Gayageum Byeongchang. When the identity of Pansori-likeness is maintained, the meaning of re-creation as a modern transmission of Pansori can be secured. In the future, Pansori can spread in various aspects to create modern performing arts and be incorporated into the performance field. And I hope that related follow-up studies will continue.

Review on Transparent Concrete for Construction Industry
Authors: Dr. V. Murugesh  , Pallathadka Dr. Harikumar , P. Chinchewadi Rajesh.
Published: February 2023

This article discusses the use of translucent concrete and the benefits it offers in the field of smart construction, including the ability to reduce lighting power consumption, use optical fibre to detect structural stress, and use this concrete as an architectural feature for a pleasing aesthetic view of the building. By incorporating optical fibres into concrete, translucent concrete can have light-transmissive qualities. The fibre transmits light from one end to the other. Depending on the fibre structure, this causes a specific pattern of light to appear on the opposite surface. There is essentially no light loss when it is sent across optical fibres because of their efficiency. The difference between studies analysing the impact of employing various optical fibre ratios on the material strength and on energysaving came to the conclusion that the ideal ratio of fibres should range between 4.3% and 6% for energy-saving, while the right ratio should be less than 5% for strength. In the conclusion, we make suggestions for recommendations to close these gaps in knowledge.
Revisiting Bose's Legacy in Indian Foreign Policy, and the Relevance of His Ideas on Paradigm Shifts in International Relations
Authors: Abhinav
Published: February 2023

Subhash Chandra Bose's ideas regarding international politics, along with his responses and achievements in the established paradigm of international relations, altered and shaped India's foreign policy before and after it achieved independence. Bose's contributions to India's independence were well represented in the formation of the provisional government-in-exile during the Second World War, which generated new paradigms and optimism in India's freedom struggle. After independence, Bose's ideas persisted and were occasionally represented in India's international politics. This article will look at Bose's ideas and experiences in international politics, as well as his vision for a powerful independent India. This article consists of three parts: the first is an introduction that analyses Subhash Chandra Bose's experiences in India's freedom struggle in the context of international relations; the second part discusses the relevance of Subhash’s ideas and paradigms of international relations; and the third part demonstrates the significance of Bose's ideas in contemporary Indian foreign policy.

In this research, the authors found that statistical analysis is very important preliminary phase in Machine Learning, especially for regression problems. Indeed, when the authors developed the first single models using the same algorithms and the same dataset, they obtained poor performances. After verifying the assumptions of the multiple linear regression, they adjusted the used data and produced efficient models. Moreover, as the objective was to apply the stacking model to predict Patient's Length of Stay in a semi urban hospital, the results showed that the stacking regressor performed better than the seven different models implemented (Random Forest, Extra Trees, Decision Tree, XGBoost, Multilayer perceptron, Light GBM, Support Vector Regressor (SVR)) taken individually. The authors combined Random Forest Regressor, Extra Trees Regressor, Decision Tree Regressor, XGBoost, Light GBM, and SVR to build the stacking model. Using secondary data from four services (Pediatrics, Hospitalization, Gynecology, and Neonatology) of a semi-urban hospital, located in a region of ongoing war in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the study examined the minimum length of stay of a patient in hospital when admitted in one of the four above services. Performances were evaluated using MAE, RMSE, MSE, R-squared and Accuracy. The stacking regression model shifted from 85% of accuracy before statistical analysis phase to 91% after applying statistics and from 0.75 to 0.91 as R-squared

Preschoolers are children aged three to six years. Covid - 19 is a pandemic that is shaking the world right now. Due to the Covid - 19 pandemic, children cannot play with friends outside the home. Limited play space for children makes it easy for them to feel bored just to stay at home, causing children to become anxious. The purpose of this case study is to apply storytelling play therapy to reduce anxiety levels in preschool-aged children at home due to the covid-19 pandemic. The method of this case study is descriptive. The result of the case study is a decrease in anxiety score in subject I from 45 to 30 and subject II from 51 to 34. The conclusion of this case study shows that storytelling therapy is effective in reducing the anxiety level of preschool children. Suggestions for this case study are expected that parents can apply storytelling to reduce anxiety levels in children at home due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
