Published: January 2023

Air pollution is found to have significant association with living health all over global world. Environment Protection Department of Punjab, Pakistan provides the monthly air quality index (AQI) data on air pollution with concentrated particulates like PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2 and O3. Air particulates concentrations may vary of season, regional geography and climate. We performed blood sampling of 45 dogs from different breeds (Labrador retrievers, German shepherds and Pit bulls) from three different areas categorized on basis of AQI as less polluted (Gulberg), polluted (Town Hall) and highly polluted (Shadman) in winter and spring seasons. Data were analysed using paired sample t-tests for seasonal study and independent sample t-tests for area and breed study by SPSS (P < 0.05 ascertained as significant). Seasonal study resulted that less polluted area had no significant effects on hematological indices in any three breeds of dogs in both seasons. Polluted area was presented with increased significant effects on values of monocytes in Labrador retrievers, Hct and MCHC in German shepherds while decreased significant effects on MCH value in Pit bulls in winter season as compared to spring season. Highly polluted area had significant effects with decreasing WBC counts only in German shepherds in winter season than spring season. This study concludes that polluted and highly polluted areas in winter season with worst AQI affects blood indices more than spring season in dogs.

Published: January 2023

Fungal infections are common in the tropics. The cause of mycoses depends on the cause and the accompanying risk factors. It is important to do culture and identification to determine the etiology and continue with antifungal sensitivity examination to determine the appropriate management. The method of treating a yeast infection depends on the type of infection, its severity and the part of the body that is infected. As various fungi cause infections, the antifungal drugs used are also very diverse. The study was conducted during 2020 consisting of  350 samples of various specimens with positive cultures of 116 (33.14%). The results of identification using Vitek 2®   automated system and slide culture obtained 19 species on fungus, consistinf of 99.14% yeast and  0.87% mold. The most yeast found were C. albicans 26.27%  and Aspergillus sp;  Rhizopus  0.86 %  respectively from mold. The pattern of sensitivity of yeast to several antifungals showed that Fluconazole was effective at 96.43%, followed Voriconazole and Amphothericin B 93.24% respectively.

Over the next five years, Indonesia is expected to absorb an estimated USD 23 billion in impact investments which could be materialized in the form of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), and one of the beneficiaries of foreign investment is a start-up company. It is estimated that Indonesia will create thousands of potential start-ups that will disrupt the economy of Indonesia. As a developing country brimming with high potential growth, among its vast youth population, there are millions of entrepreneurs with brilliant ideas that may benefit not only themselves but also society.[13] One of the steps for investing in impact investment is screening and scoring the ESG and SDG Alignment using standardized and tested methods created by accredited international institutions. Start-ups that are still in the early-stage phase are rather very difficult to be assessed using the currently available global standard methodology, therefore making early-stage start-ups out of reach for Impact Investment and early-stage start-ups have a high potential in multiplying their valuation to drastically increase venture capital profits, creating an assessment tool that is necessary to eliminate the lost opportunity. Venture capital requires an assessment tool for their investment process, especially for early-stage start-ups. Currently, there are yet such scoring methodologies or standards that are suited for Indonesian early-stage start-ups. Many start-ups in their early don’t have adequate resources to implement an ESG framework or commit to any SDG alignment by applying established international ESG frameworks and standards. But there are few start-ups that commit to ESG and SDG Value to their business model that create social and environmental impact while profiting as a business. The objective of this research is to create an Impact Investment assessment tool based on ISS ESG impact rating and MSCI ESG SDG alignment assessment methodology that will be adjusted for Indonesian early-stage screening purposes and to be implemented in Venture capital preliminary in the business process.

Vlog or video blog is now booming along with the existence of YouTube. In Indonesia, YouTube is a third rank of most visiting website in Indonesia (https://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/ID). This social media platform is advantageously employed to filming the actions which are easily accessed by public and it offers free video hosting which means vloggers may post unlimited videos without paying web hosting fees. Some vloggers perform videos for fun while others display for revenue generating through advertisements. Westenberg (cited in Subramani & Rajagopalan, 2003:302) mentions that YouTubers are influential in encouraging trial and adoption of new products and services. In line with Westenberg’s idea, Edward (2011:11) adds that “interactive advertising can be targeted in more sophisticated ways than print ads, we must recognize that power of social media as means of persuasion is far beyond that of another vehicle in which to serve advertising.” These two complementary propositions interest the researchers to conduct a deeper investigation about some vlogs on YouTube with the other variable of parameter, English use. The use of English gives efficacious consequence on advertisements. Biswal (2009:32) strongly mentioned that the use of two languages attracts consumers. Thus, capturing the four Indonesian beauty vloggers, assorted by the two who frequently insert some English codes and the other two who rarely interpolate them, as the object of research, this current investigation examines its use and influence towards viewers’ purchase intention. Questionnaire as helpful instrument is going to be delivered to viewers to see their purchase intention based on the indicators proposed by Schiffman and Kanuk (2009). The result shows that English codes do not significantly influence the viewers’ purchase intention. Viewers prefer beauty vlogs which are variously performed (not monotonous), humorously presented, and politely language-used. Besides, the content of the vlogs should be novel and honest.

Published: January 2023

This research aims to determine how the concept of legal regulation regarding Restorative Justice is used as legal protection for victims of criminal acts in Indonesia. The analysis used in this study is qualitative with a normative juridical approach. This study concludes that the restorative justice paradigm offers another way of dealing with crime. According to the restorative justice paradigm, the process of resolving crimes involves the perpetrators, victims, and the community. The Criminal Code regulates more about protecting the rights of suspects, defendants, and convicts as part of protecting human rights. Progressively various laws and regulations have become the legal basis for the settlement of criminal cases by implementing the restoration of justice as the protection of victims of crime, social recovery, and reducing the burden on the state. The Criminal Code is also still oriented towards retributive justice, which is punitive as retaliation for the perpetrators of criminal acts. In the retributive justice paradigm, the sanctions imposed are not aimed at retaliating against the perpetrators of the crime but sanctions that can arouse the perpetrator's responsibility for the suffering of the victim or sanctions that aim to restore the suffering of the victim.

It is worth noting that 20 million children suffering from severe malnutrition are less than five years old, and 3.8 million of them are less than six months old. In Sudan the stunting rate was above 30 % that is classified by World Health Organization (WHO) as ‘high ‘. The Supplementary Suckling Technique may seem easy in theory, but find it difficult to apply, as the method must be well explained to the mother and supported to succeed in using it. A prospective hospital-based study was done between January1st to December31st, 2020 among randomly selected infants less than 6 months of age with SAM following breastfeeding failure. Infants’ anthropometric indices were daily measured and recorded. Supplementary suckling technique was used in the management with high or low protein-based milk formula as DF100 or F75. The outcome of these infants was recorded as cured, died, defaulter or in no recovery state. The male infants represented 22 (59.5%) of the total infants (37) with a male to female ratio of 1.47: 1. It was noticed that 18 (48.6%) of infants were in the age group 2-4 months, and 8 (21.6%) SAM infants in the age groups of > 4 and < 6 months while 11 (29.7%) SAM infants in the age groups of < 2 months. About 78.4% of SAM infants aged less or equal to 4 months. Improving breastfeeding practices effectively are needed. Severe acute malnutrition in infants less than 6 months can be managed successfully as inpatients with an adopted protocol. SAM infants less than 6 months of age with D F 100 and F 75 feeding using Supplementary Suckling Technique have shown improvement in their weight gain.

Published: January 2023

Several tests should be performed to rule out any potential physical or chemical interactions between the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the various excipients that might be utilized in the manufacturing of the drug formula. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy is a simple technique for the detection of changes within excipient-drug mixtures. In addition to speeding up the aging process of drugs and their possible interactions with excipients, isothermal stress testing was achieved. In this study, Ceftriaxone sodium (CTX), and Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIPRO) as active ingredients were subjected to several tests to exclude any interaction with the excipients that could be used in the formulation of lipid base biodegradable antibiotic for prevention of post-operative infection. The compatibility was tested by using Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and isothermal stability testing (IST). As a result, the IR spectral interpretation showed that the spectra obtained from the binary mixtures match the original spectra of API. Generally, there was no obvious and influential change of any characteristic peaks which confirms the absence of chemical interaction between the CTX or CIPRO and excipients. In the IST, the API – excipient mixture shows no significant change in physical properties. There was no change in color, gas formation, and liquefaction of the mixture stored under stress conditions.  There was no significant change in the amount of API after storage in stressed conditions at statistical significance (p = 0.05). In conclusion, there are no notable interactions between API and the various excipients that could be employed to create biodegradable lipid-based delivery systems that are effective at preventing post-operative infection.

Mayoritas lembaga keuangan tidak menyeleksi dengan baik dalam menentukan calon nasabah yang ingin melakukan pembiayaan sehingga terjadi kredit macet. Pada PT Pegadaian Syariah Unit Madiun terdapat beberapa nasabah yang kreditnya macet sehingga diberi kebijakan berupa sanksi denda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan analisis hukum Islam terhadap pemanfaatan dana hasil denda sanksi kredit macet pada PT Pegadaian Syariah Unit Madiun. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif lapangan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa nasabah yang pembayaran kreditnya macet, sebagaimana akad di awal, dikenakan denda sejumlah 4% per bulan dibagi 30 per hari dan tidak bertambah setiap bulan. PT Pegadaian Syariah Unit Madiun mengalokasikan dana yang berasal dari denda sanksi tersebut ke dalam ganti rugi kredit macet pada pembiayaan tersebut, sedangkan dalam Fatwa DSN-MUI dana hasil denda dari kredit macet harus dialokasikan ke dalam dana sosial, sehingga hukumnya adalah dilarang memanfaatkan dana hasil denda sanksi kredit macet. Hal ini juga diperkuat dengan sanksi kredit macet di PT Pegadaian Syariah Unit Madiun yang masih bersifat umum diberlakukan untuk semua nasabah, bukan hanya bagi yang mampu dan menunda-nunda pembayaran, namun nasabah yang belum mampu untuk membayar juga terkena sanksi sehingga merasa terbebani.

Published: January 2023

The objective of this paper is to examine the evolution of post-normal science from the sociology and public administration perspectives. The library approach described in this article employs literature review. This article examines the notion of post-normal science, post-normal science from the sociological viewpoint, and the evolution of the science of public administration. Post-Normal Science is a method of investigation whose impartiality is not always attainable. As a consequence of the interference of rational forces, particularly politics, with objection and sensitivity, predictability and control are constrained. It is utilized to control and determine sociology's connection with the state and its funding sources. Sociology is supported for instrumental purposes in connection to societal aims, despite the fact that it is not intended to be a source of propaganda and should have its own goals, including the goal of being a science.
