Published: July 2023

Brain-stem anesthesia is a serious and rare complication of orbital regional anesthesia that may occur when the local anesthetic agent gains access to the central nervous system via a direct spread from the apex of the orbit or the submeningeal pathways. We report the case of a 66 -year-old man who developed, after a retro-bulbar block for cataract surgery, a tonico-clonic seizures, hypotension and bradycardia-features of brainstem anesthesia. We present the clinical features, treatment and comments on how to prevent the problem. Although it is rare, and because it may be life-threatening in some cases, physicians who perform retrobulbar block should be aware of its features and various clinical manifestation in order to recognize and treat it. Also, facilities where ophtalmic surgery under local anesthesia are performed should be properly equiped in order to manage this complication.
Starry-like Cornea: A Case of Ocular Cystinosis

Published: July 2023

Ocular cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene, which encodes a lysosomal cystine transporter protein. This results in the accumulation of cystine crystals in various ocular structures, leading to a range of ocular manifestations. The incidence of cystinosis is estimated to be 1 in 100,000 to 200,000 live births, with a higher prevalence in certain populations such as those of European descent. We report the case of a 5-year-old child with ocular cystinosis. The ophthalmological examination revealed a photophobic child with a visual acuity of 3/10 in both eyes (Pigassou scale), and diffuse stromal crystal deposits over the entire cornea in both eyes. The rest of the examination was unremarkable. The patient was referred to pediatrics for work-up of storage disease and was diagnosed with ocular and nephrological cystinosis. The patient was able to start general treatment with Mercaptamine with improvement in renal function, but was unable to obtain local treatment due to lack of funds. The patient is still being followed in our clinic with stable corneal involvement. Ocular cystinosis is a very rare genetic disorder. There are three main types of cystinosis: nephropathic cystinosis and non-nephropathic cystinosis. Nephropathic cystinosis divides further on infantile and intermediate. The most common ocular manifestation of cystinosis is corneal cystine crystal deposit, which typically presents in the first year of life and can lead to photophobia, tearing, and decreased visual acuity. The corneal crystals can also cause recurrent erosions, which can be very painful. The severity of corneal involvement can range from mild punctate deposition to severe confluent crystal accumulation that can lead to corneal scarring and vision loss. Cysteamine drops, which are a form of cysteamine hydrochloride, can help dissolve the cystine crystals and improve corneal clarity, prevent further vision loss, and reduce the frequency of recurrent erosions.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in preventing further ocular damage in individuals with cystinosis. Regular ophthalmologic examinations should be conducted to monitor for ocular manifestations and initiate treatment as early as possible. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary, involving ophthalmologists, nephrologists, and other specialists, to manage the systemic manifestations of cystinosis.
Transformasi Politik ke Jalur Dakwah: Studi Analitis Politik Masyumi tahun 1960-1967
Authors: Indrayani Nelly , Purnomo Budi
Published: July 2023

Penelitian ini mengungkapkan transformasi politik ke jalur dakwah. Pengkajian ini diungkapkan melalui konsep sejarah pemikiran. Yakni gerakan perubahan yang dilakukan sekelompok elit politik dalam perjuangan ideologi dasar negara. Gerakan perubahan dalam perjuangan ideologi Islam tidak lagi dilakukan melalui jalur politik tetapi bertransfor ke jalur dakwah. Masyumi satu-satunya partai Islam memperjuangkan Islam sebagai ideologi negara. Di sisi lain partai nasionalis atau komunis menolak menjadikan Islam sebagai dasar Negara. Soekarno mengambil langkah ikut andil dalam kekuasaan pemerintahan yang menimbulkan kontroversi bagi kalangan politisi Islam. Masyumi melakukan oposisi dan bersikap menolak terhadap ide Orde Lama. Sebab Masyumi memandang sistem Orde Lama menerapkan praktik-praktik otoriterian yang tidak sesuai dengan Islam. Tindakan inilah menurut Soekarno menjadi perintang jalannya proses revolusi. Berdasarkan Penpres No.200 tahun 1960 Soekarno melakukan pembubaran terhadap Masyumi. Perjuangan Islam tidak berhenti melalui wadah politik, tetapi memilih pindah kejalur dakwah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian ilmu sejarah yaitu heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Melalui pengungkapan metode sejarah ditemukan hasil penelitian bahwa transformasi Masyumi kedakwah adalah jalan yang ditempuh orang-orang Masyumi saat partai Masyumi dibubarkan. Pada dasarnya para tokoh Masyumi telah berupaya merehabilitas kembali partai Masyumi masa Orde Baru. Namun pemerintah mengkhawatirkan penggunaan embel Islam dalam politik menjadi penghambat tercapainya stabilitas. Pada gilirannya terlihat dijadikannya Pancasila sebagai asas tunggal. Dalam pada itu meskipun Partai Muslimin Indonesia telah dibentuk atas izin pemerintah, tetapi masih dirasakan adanya intervensi terhadap Islam. Intervensi inipun diperkuat sebab keterlibatan orang-orang Masyumi dalam PRRI yang dianggap makar oleh pemerintah. Berdasarkan hal ini tidak lain jalan yang ditempuh adalah pindah ke jalan dakwah dengan membentuk Dewan Dakwah Islamiyah Indonesia. Bahwa bagi orang Masyumi dulu dakwah melalui jalur politik sekarang politik melalui jalur dawkah.
Polemik Salakanagara: Meninjau Kebenaran Bukti Historis Salakanagara dalam Pentas Sejarah Kuno di Indonesia
Authors: Maulana Wildhan Ichzha
Published: July 2023

This study aims to analyze historical evidence and the views of the Banten people towards the existence of the Salakanagara Hindu kingdom. The research method used is a historical method covering 4 stages, namely heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography which is supported by a correspondence theory framework to explore the historical truth of Salakanagara based on the support of objective facts in the form of written sources and archaeological remains. The results of this study indicate that (1) the historical facts of Salakanagara are not supported by strong primary historical sources such as findings of inscriptions, archaeological remains, literary works, and contemporary foreign chronicles. (2) The historical facts of the new Salakanagara are based on the Wangsakerta manuscript whose validity is still widely doubted, then myths and legends, in which the three incidentally are secondary historical sources. (3) The majority of Bantenese people believe that Salakanagara was once founded, but this view arises from attribution to historical sources which are less valid and relevant. Therefore, Salakanagara's studies are still limited to historical hypotheses, because they are only supported by the truth from secondary historical sources. However, it also does not rule out the possibility that stronger primary historical sources are found in its development so that the historical facts of Salakanagara can be legally recognized.

ORTHODOX MONASTIC EXPERIENCE AND HERMITIC PRACTICE IN THE POLISH-LITHUANIAN COMMONWEALTH
Authors: LEBER Taisiya
Published: July 2023

This paper is dedicated to a famous Ukrainian monastic saint – Jov Knjahynyc’kij (ca. 1550–1621), a founder of Manjava Skete (also known as the Great Skete) in the Carpathian Mountains, an Orthodox monk, who spent a big part of his life en route between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Mount Athos, Moldavia, and Muscovy. His itinerary can be reconstructed on the basis of his Vita, which was composed probably soon after his death. Its author is known as hieromonk Ignatij from Ljubarov. Vita was published in 1860 by Anthony Petrushevych (1821–1913), a Ukrainian historian and linguist. It was also Petrushevych, who edited the most important sources for the early history of the Manjava Skete – the Spiritual Testament by Theodosius as well as the monastic rule of the skete. Already the first monograph on the history of Manjava Skete, from its establishment in 1611 until its closure in 1785 by Julian Celevič (1843–1892), was based on Petrushevych’s editions. The translation of Jov’s Vita and of the spiritual testament of Theodosius into English was prepared in a critical edition with commentaries by Sophia Senyk.

Published: July 2023

Se realiza una primera exploración de la evaluación de las matemáticas emergentes, que se refieren a las primeras matemáticas de naturaleza intuitiva e informal que desarrollan los niños menores de 3 años. Para la obtención de datos, en primer lugar, se ha realizado una entrevista semiestructurada a una maestra de una Escuela Infantil y, en segundo lugar, se ha documentado e interpretado matemáticamente una propuesta educativa implementada en un grupo de 12 niños de 1-2 años, a partir de la rúbrica “Adquisición de conocimientos matemáticos informales de 0 a 3 años” (ACMI 0-3). Los resultados muestran: a) la carencia de formación por parte de los docentes en cuanto a las estrategias y recursos para la evaluación de las matemáticas emergentes; b) la validez de la rúbrica utilizada para documentar e interpretar matemáticamente las acciones de los niños, evidenciándose que la mayoría de acciones se asocian al reconocimiento de las cualidades sensoriales y la posición relativa de los objetos. Se concluye que es necesario proporcionar conocimientos disciplinares y didácticos, tanto en la formación inicial como continua, para que las profesionales de la Escuela Infantil puedan promover y evaluar las matemáticas emergentes de manera eficaz.

Published: July 2023

Background and Purpose: With fund scarcity eminent in Malaysia, soliciting donations effectively is essential to any non-profit organisation (NPO). Many NPOs struggle to raise funds to execute a beneficial project for society. The dimensions to identify relevant online factors influencing the NPO website user decision-making process slowly evolved in a local context due to limited interest in exploring this field. This research was conducted to identify relevant variables related to NPO website user interest to donate. However, a proper instrument must be developed to meet the research aim. Thus, this research was conducted to identify relevant variables and items in the research instrument.
 
Methodology: The study collected 269 responses from ten popular NPO website users. Their responses were recorded using the five-point Likert Scale questionnaire ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. At first, the study conducted a content validity test and a pre-test. The sample size is determined based on the SEM requirement. Finally, the responses are analysed using pooled confirmatory factor analysis to determine the instrument reliability and validity.
 
Findings: Only seven variables are retained after the validity and reliability analysis, with 43 items out of 74 items. The result indicated only information, system, service quality, perceived ease of use, and trust are relevant for the NPO to meet website user satisfaction and influence their decision to donate.
 
Contributions: The finding is essential as a guideline to develop a website that meets user preferences. The result also contributed to the website quality literature for the non-profit sector.
 
Keywords: Website quality, trust, satisfaction, non-profit organisation, technology acceptance model.

The free-range system improves chicken’s welfare and enriches their diet. There is little information about influence of chickens on the sward quality. The aim of the study was to identify differences in the chemical and botanical composition of the pasture sward used by chickens and to assess if frequency of chicken exits outdoors is associated with the botanical composition of the ranging areas. One hundred twenty non-beak trimmed mixed sex birds of Green-legged Partridge (GP) and Sasso line C44 (S) were used. Each pen had direct access to an individual outdoor range providing 10.5 m2 per chicken, video-recorded continuously. Vegetation coverage regarding botanical composition was determined based on botanical-weight analysis from three control plots, while range use was calculated from the video material. The data were analysed by ANOVA model in SAS software (v 9.4). Regarding chemical composition, fiber content was higher in dry matter from the control pastures. Significantly more Dactylis glomerata (L.) and Alopecurus pratensis (L.) were observed on ranges used by Sasso. The higher share (%) of weeds and grasses was at the ranges used by chickens (weeds: S:8.66 (1.42) and GP:7.61 (0.59) and grasses: S:10.36 (0.96) and GP:12.10 (0.65)) as compared to control plots (1.45 (1.34)) and 3.86 (2.97), respectively) in contrast to legumes ((S:0.01 (0.01) and GP:0.32(0.26)) and sedges (S:0.64 (0.48) and GP: 0.09 (0.06)) most present in the control plots (10.88 (1.55)). Positive association between range use frequency and proportion of Heracleum sphondylium (L.), Rumex acetosa (L.), Festuca rubra (L.), and Lolium perenne (L.) was observed for Sasso, while foe Green-legged Partridges with proportion of Armoracia rusticana (L.), Stellaria media (L.), Ranunculus repens (L.), Cirsium arvense (L.) and Rumex crispus (L.). Concluding, the sward quality of the ranging areas was affected by the presence of the chickens and it differed between genotypes. Unknown remain if birds used the pasture more frequently depending on its botanical composition or if the pasture composition depended on the frequency of its uses by the birds.
Role of topography, soil and climate on forest species composition and diversity in the West Usambara Montane Forests of Tanzania

Published: July 2023

Understanding the variables that determine the variation in forest species composition and diversity in tropical montane systems remains a topic for discussion in plant ecology. This is especially true in areas where the topography is complex and forests are vulnerable to human activity. In this study, a set of topographic, soil, and climatic variables were used to determine their effects on the composition and diversity patterns of two forests in the West Usambara Mountains (Tanzania). Two-phase systematic sampling was used to collect vegetation data from 159 sample plots distributed across the forests. An agglomerative hierarchical clustering method was used for forest community classification, and indicator species analysis was used to determine the species significantly associated with forest communities. The influence of environmental variables on forest communities was analysed using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Finally, we evaluated diversity patterns by comparing diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener diversity index, evenness, and richness) and beta diversity processes. In total, 7,767 individual trees belonged to 183 species, 132 genera, and 66 families were quantified. We found that (i) the forests of West Usambara can be divided into three different forest communities; (ii) each forest community has a specific set of topographical, soil, and climate variables; (iii) there are significant differences in Shannon diversity and richness indices among communities; and (iv) community composition is mostly influenced by species turnover than by species nestedness. Our study revealed the importance of considering a set of environmental variables related to climate, soil, and topography to understand the variation in the composition and diversity of forest communities in tropical montane forests.

Published: July 2023

Forest fires are among the most significant disturbances on a global scale. Affecting biodiversity and biogeochemical cycles, forest fires play an important role in atmospheric chemical processes and the global carbon cycle. Using the example of the pyrogenic landscapes of the Samara region, this article reviews changes in the accumulation regularity of heavy metal content and its migration within a soil profile during pyrogenic soil formation. In the case of surface forest fires, the studied postpyrogenic soils are characterized by increased cadmium, nickel and zinc content in the Opyr pyrogenic horizon. In contrast, the content of all analyzed heavy metals decreases compared to the control for crown forest fires, indicating active element emissions into the atmosphere.

As a gate pass to a successful career, the educational loan, ideally, should bring utility to economically weaker students. The present study attempts to develop a Structural Equation Model (SEM) for educational loan utility, which springs out of job prospects from the basic factors, namely awareness, adequacy, utilization, effectiveness, and perception of loan financing on the one hand, and defaults in repayments, on the other. The study is posted to an uneven premise of a popular assumption among loanees that education loan is more of an aid and less of a retail product. The proposed model can decipher the research paradigm by delineating how different factors contribute to derive the utility of educational loans. The model articulates a strong tenet that job prospects (precisely with skills gained) and repayment (financial behavior) are the two core elements for the sustainability of the education loan scheme. The present study signifies the need to develop a standardised tool for the selection of potential candidates to assess their employability quotient to improve the quality of financing and is placed in the range of demand-side perspectives of educational loan financing.

The need for energy has now become a major problem that is increasingly complex in all countries in the world to support their economic growth. These various conditions require the need for new renewable energy that can answer these challenges. Wind energy and solar cells have become one of the solutions to reduce dependence on fossil energy. Wind energy and solar energy are actually the most promising sources of energy considering their sustainable nature and very large amounts to be used as electrical energy for lighting in simple people's homes. A wind turbine is a prime mover that utilizes wind energy to drive the turbine blades which are then transformed in the form of mechanical energy to rotate the turbine shaft. Solar energy is energy in the form of light and heat from the sun, which technology can be applied to a variety of energies, including solar thermal electrical energy. New and renewable energy with hybrid or combined systems for home-scale power plants is very much needed to ensure the continuity of the existence of electrical energy and efficiency. The combined and hybrid system models that have been developed and applied are hybrid solar cells and wind turbines.

Published: July 2023

Silicone rubber (SR) is known as stable and able to get through an extreme environment. Moreover, the combination of SR and natural fiber as the composite for the sound absorption application is still limited. For this reason, this study was aimed to fabricate the natural fiber-reinforced porous SR for the sound absorption material. Then, the composites were simulated using multilinear regression method to predict the sound absorption coefficient and its factor influence. The composite fabrication was started with the alkalization of oil palm fiber treatment. Furthermore, the porous SR were prepared using NaCl filler to form the pores. Then, the specimen containing NaCl was soaked in warm water and all specimens were dried at 110 °C to remove the remaining water. The addition of fibers enhances the density value to the highest value of 1.061 g/cm3 with 6 wt% microfibers. The higher the microfiber addition led to the higher α value in low frequency, it occurred at SR/6 wt% microfibers with the α value of 0.356. Additionally, the most suitable equation with the smallest error is Equation 6 which has the RMSE and values of 0.05234 and 0.6138, respectively.

El género de la raza: Fanon, lector de Beauvoir
Authors: Renault Matthieu
Published: July 2023

Piel negra, máscaras blancas de Frantz Fanon y El Segundo Sexo de Simone de Beauvoir presentan numerosas afinidades teóricas y críticas provenientes de apropiaciones y traducciones que ambas obras operativizaron con la dialéctica hegeliana del amo y el esclavo, con vistas a la aprehensión conceptual de las relaciones de género (hombre/mujer) y de raza (blanco/negro). Desde este punto de partida, se entabla un amplio diálogo en torno a las cuestiones del cuerpo (generizado, racializado), el amor y la violencia. Sin embargo, más que estas afinidades, lo que podemos identificar es el alcance de la influencia de los escritos de Beauvoir en Fanon. Si este aspecto ha sido todavía objeto de muy poco énfasis y de escaso estudio, es porque Fanon nunca cita las tesis de Beauvoir e incluso parece haberse esforzado por ocultar cualquier filiación intelectual. Es necesario comprender las causas de tal «desaparición», no solo para comprender la obra de Fanon, sino también para comprender su fuente común, que es también, hasta cierto punto, un compartido nacimiento: el del feminismo y el anticolonialismo en los años que siguieron a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
