EFEKTIVITAS PENERIMAAN PAJAK REKLAME DAN KONTRIBUSINYA TERHADAP PENDAPATAN ASLI DAERAH KOTA TEGAL
Authors: Yani Putri Handayani
Published: April 2024

Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk memahami dan menguraikan tingkat efektivitas penerimaan Pajak Reklame terhadap Pendapatan Asli Daerah Kota Tegal pada tahun 2019-2022. Penerimaan Pajak Reklame di tahun 2019-2022 telah terbukti sangat efektif, dengan tingkat efektivitas rata-rata mencapai 107,2%. Pada tahun 2019, tingkat efektivitas puncaknya mencapai 118,5%. Kinerja yang tinggi ini disebabkan oleh pelaksanaan kebijakan Pemerintah Daerah yang bagus serta proses pemungutan pajak reklame yang efektif. Namun, di tahun 2022, tingkat efektivitas menurun menjadi 94,5% akibat penurunan target penerimaan pajak reklame yang diakibatkan oleh kebijakan penataan dan penertiban reklame di Kota Tegal. Meskipun demikian, partisipasi penerimaan pajak reklame masih rendah, dibawah 10% dengan presentase 0,01625%, karena kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pajak reklame dinilai masih kurang. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwasanya pajak reklame tidak berkontribusi terhadap PAD dikarenakan realisasi pajak reklame sendiri tidak cukup untuk menjadi indikator utama penyumbang pendapatan asli daerah, akan tetapi jika realisasi pajak reklame digabungkan dengan realisasi pajak daerah secara keseluruhan maka realisasi pajak daerah tentunya ikut berkontribusi dalam pendapatan asli daerah Kota Tegal.

Exploring Oedipus Complex and Hyperactivity
Authors: Simbolon Sangapta , Aris Qori Islami , Hutahaean Sorta
Published: April 2024

This study aims to analyze the Oedipus complex and the hyperactivity symptoms displayed by the protagonist in the movie 'Mommy'. The research problem is that there has been limited psychological analysis of the potential presence of the Oedipus complex and hyperactivity disorder in fictional characters in films. This gap in research warrants a thorough examination of the protagonist in 'Mommy' to gain deeper insight into the depicted psychological intricacies. Qualitative methodology is used, applying Freud's psychoanalytic theory and Russell Barkley's ADHD theory to analyze dialogues and scene depictions from the film. By systematically identifying and categorizing data pertinent to Oedipus complex and hyperactivity symptoms, conclusions are drawn from the findings. The film's protagonist displays symptoms of Oedipus complex, such as seeking excessive attention from their mother, feeling jealousy towards their mother's romantic partner, engaging in inappropriate physical contact, showing anxiety about maternal separation, and developing affection for an older maternal acquaintance. Furthermore, hyperactivity symptoms manifest with excessive speech, heightened motor activity, and intentional agitation of others. This analysis indicates that the film's main character displays signs of the Oedipus complex and hyperactivity disorder. This thorough examination fills the research gap and allows for a more profound comprehension of the psychological intricacies portrayed in the protagonist.

Authors: Ortega Miguel , Yalçın Buse
Published: April 2024

In this study, we deal with non-degenerate translators of the mean curvature flow in the well-known hyperbolic Einstein's static universe. We classify translators foliated by horospheres and rotationally invariant ones, both space-like and time-like. For space-like translators, we show a uniqueness theorem as well as a result to extend an isometry of the boundary of the domain to the whole translator, under simple conditions. As an application, we obtain a characterization of the the bowl when the boundary is a ball, and of certain translators foliated by horospheres whose boundary is a rectangle.
Homogeneous Quandles with Abelian Inner Automorphism Groups and Vertex-Transitive Graphs
Authors: Furuki Konomi , Tamaru Hiroshi
Published: April 2024

A quandle is an algebraic system originated in knot theory, and can be regarded as a generalization of symmetric spaces. The inner automorphism group of a quandle is defined as the group generated by the point symmetries (right multiplications). In this paper, starting from any simple graphs, we construct quandles whose inner automorphism groups are abelian. We also prove that the constructed quandle is homogeneous if and only if the graph is vertex-transitive. This shows that there is a wide family of quandles with abelian inner automorphism groups, even if we impose the homogeneity. The key examples of such quandles are realized as subquandles of oriented real Grassmannian manifolds.

Published: April 2024

Neonatal period, which is the first 28 days of an infant’s life, is the most crucial and vulnerable period. A remarkable decline in mortality rates during neonatal period for the past two decades is due to the advances of obstetric practice in term of medical screening and surveillance and increased neonatal specialization. However, respiratory tract disorders, along with sepsis and other types of infection, are the major causes of neonatal morbidities and mortalities. Hence, this study is aimed to bridge these gaps and provide inputs to the program implementers to design necessary interventions that could contribute to the reduction of neonatal morbidity and mortality.Aims: To determine the clinical profile and neonatal outcome admitted to NICU in district hospitalObjectives: 1. To determine the socio demographic factors associated with neonatal outcome 2. To determine the obstetric profile associated with neonatal outcome.Methods: This hospital based retrospective study was conducted in the NICU of Tumakuru district hospital from Jan to March 2023. Records of all the admitted neonates were reviewed. The details were collected based on a structured questionnaire prepared in English. This contained information regarding obstetric and antenatal care (ANC), gestational age at birth, birth weight, sex, APGAR score, age at admission, admission diagnosis, neonatal outcomes and other related details. The data collected was entered in Microsoft excel (MS Excel) and quantitative variables was analysed by mean and qualitative variable by proportion by epi in go 3.4.3. Chi square was used to find out the association between the neonatal outcome and other variables. P value <0.05 was considered significant.

Results: A total of 120 neonates were admitted during the study period. 47 (39.1%) mothers of the neonates were aged 21-25years and followed by 34 (28.3%) mothers in the age of 26-30 years. Association between neonatal outcome and socio demographic components was not statistically significant but definitely outcome was better with the good socio demographic profile. Regarding ANC follow up, 119 (99.1%) mothers had attended at leastone prenatal visit and majority 100 (80%) were having ANC check-up at government hospital. The most commoncauses of neonatal mortality were respiratory distress syndrome 4(3.33%), followed by low birth weight 4(3.33%), and preterm 3(2.5%).Conclusion: Inspite of improved technology and facilities available still the neonatal outcome is worst. These all are preventable causes of neonatal mortality and morbidities which has to be taken care bygiving due importance to its predictors. Maternal and environmental factors has to be taken care and dealt.

Authors: Mallicka  , Neha Shukla
Published: April 2024

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance of varying degree diagnosed first time during the pregnancy. Blood glucose values revert to the normal level soon after the delivery. But the women carry a lifetime risk of getting overt diabetes within 5 years. The management of GDM mainly comprises of medical nutrition therapy, exercise, weight management and Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG). Among all the management components, SMBG is the mostly neglected especially among pregnant women with GDM.Overall, the practise of SMBG in developing nation like India is not up to the mark. Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the practice of SMBG amongst the pregnant women with GDM. The study was conducted in the antenatal OPD of Queen Mary’s Hospital KGMU, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Methodology: It was a quasi experimentalstudy on 188 pregnant women with GDM managed on life style intervention. Statistical analysis:Descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies and percentages were used to analyse the sociodemographicfactors. ANOVA was applied to compare the mean score between the two groups. Result: The overall adherence to the SMBG practice was found to be very low among the study participants. No significant difference was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: Patient empowerment and imparting proper information regarding SMBG may be helpful in managing the GDM with better maternal and foetal outcomes.
Mental Health among Preschool Children Social Anxiety Disorder among Preschool Children in Baghdad / Iraq

Published: April 2024

Background: Social anxiety (SA) is an intense fear of performing in front of people or other social situations in which the child may feel embarrassed, humiliated or the focus of more attention than he or she wants(1). Children who suffer from social anxiety usually fear from looking foolish or stupid in front of other children or adults(2). Children with social anxiety (SA) avoid social situations or may enter these situations with extreme anxiety, nervousness and stress(3).Social anxiety (SA) is different from shyness. Shy children may be uneasy and quiet around others, but they do not necessarily avoid social or public situations (4). Also, after a short period, shy children usually feel more comfortable while social anxiety disrupts a child’s life by making it difficult to deal with school, social relationships and public situation (5). Few publishing on preschool SA in Iraq. This was the impetus to carry out this work.

Objective: Enhancement the attendance care of mental health of preschool children.
Role of Renal Sonography in the Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Hariram Savjibhai Parmar
Published: April 2024

Aim: to use sonographic imaging in grading CKD and assess the serum creatinine, renal longitudinal size,parenchymal thickness and compare these parameters based upon ultrasonographic grade.Material and Methods: Present cross-sectional; study was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Tertiary Care Teaching Institute of India for the duration of 1 year. There are 120 participants with CKD in the research.All patients received a questionnaire, and a thorough clinical examination was done. Each participant underwent sector curved array transducer of 3.5–5 MHz ultrasound images of their liver and kidneys. Low tissue harmonic and speckle reduction imaging techniques are used to measure the echogenicity of the kidney and liver while reducing interobserver bias. In all the participants, the mean values of both the kidneys renal longitudinal size and parenchymal thickness were calculated. Renal cortical echogenicity was compared and graded with the echogenicity of the liver and renal medulla.Results: The mean age of the CKD patients was found to be 45.23 ± 06.05 years. It was found that 50 patientshad Grade 1, 40 patients had Grade 2, 20 patients had Grade 3 and 10 patients had Grade 4. The results showed that, when the comparison was done, serum creatinine was found to be significant among echogenicity grades with ANOVA. when the comparison was done; the mean longitudinal size was found to be significant among echogenicity. On comparison was found to be mean Parenchymal thickness was found to be significant among echogenicity grades.Conclusion: Renal cortical echogenicity and its grading in relation to longitudinal length, parenchymal thickness, and cortical thickness in CKD patients are the best sonographic parameters that correlate with blood creatinine. It is possible to use renal cortical echogenicity as a metric of renal function since it has the benefit of being irreversible in compared to serum creatinine levels.

Published: April 2024

Background: A number of factors were supposed to be involved in very high rate of mucormycosis infectionin COVID 19 patients like the reduced immunity because of COVID infection itself along with use of steroids,administration of supplemental oxygen, worsening glycemic control. This retrospective study has been undertaken to analyse the clinical and demographic profile of patients and various other factors that were involved in development of mucormycosis.Material and Methods: This was retrospective observational study in which all patients admitted were eithersuspected but came out to be negative or which were culture or histopathological proven mucormycosis cases.The data was analysed for demographic as well as clinical profile of the patients and various risk factors involved.Results: Total 52 patients were included in the study. All of these were rhinoorbitocerebral mucormycosis patients.The mean age of mucor positive patients was 47.3 years with male to female ratio as 5:1. The comparison of risk factors among mucor positive and mucor negative patients showed that out of 30 mucor positive patients there were 18 (60%) patients with confirmed report of COVID 19 infection, 22 (73.3%) diabetic patients, 17 (56.7%)patients with recent history of steroid treatment and 11 (36.7%) patients with history of recent oxygen therapy.Conclusion: In this study there was no statistically significant association between specific risk factors and mucorpositivity, emphasizing the multifactorial nature of mucormycosis. Further research is necessary to evaluate the complex relationship between COVID-19 infection and other factors in the development of mucormycosis.

This study aimed to conduct hazard identification and risk assessment for the transmission of hepatitis A among street food vendors (SFVs), whereas risk management was generated. This observational analytic study was conducted in Jember Regency - Indonesia. Cluster random sampling was employed, wherein five distinct locus were selected representing SFVs in campus area and local market area. A total of 100 SFVs in Jember participated in this study. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The risk assessment was measured by multiplying the likelihood and consequence. Additionally, the data was subjected to descriptive analysis. This study found the identification of hazards among SFVs was found inadequate sanitation facilities, poor food processing practice (improper handling of raw ,- cooked ingredients, and poor food serving), limited availability of clean water,substandard building and layout were observed as potential hazards for the transmission of hepatitis A. The risk assessment found inadequate sanitation facilities (18 point), negative attitude (18 point), poor quality assurance (16 point), and food contamination (14 point) have high scores. The risk management including: a) location and building: providing specific location, and maintaining cleanliness of the furniture and equipment on a regular basis, b) sanitation facility: provision of sanitary waste bin, communal toilet and wastewater drainage system; fly control measures, and using piped water supply, c) food processing: increasing food handler personal hygiene, and standard food handling process.In conclusion, the risk of Hepatitis A transmission among street vendors remains high and poses a threat in Jember, indicating the need for health education for the street vendors. Additionally, the author recommends policymakers to implement regular monitoring or inspection of the food quality and the necessity of providing clean water facilities or other fundamental facilities to SFVs.
