Published: September 2023

Oil palm is one of the plantation crops that provides the largest contribution to Indonesia's foreign exchange with its derivative products in the form of crude palm oil (CPO). The development of CPO consumption as a source of vegetable oil has pushed Indonesia as the largest producer to export CPO to 179 export destination countries in the world and the 10 largest export countries include India, China, Pakistan, the Netherlands, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Italy, Spain and Singapore. Indonesia's CPO export volume fluctuates which can disrupt the country's economy. The objectives of this study are: (1) to identify the countries that positively impact Indonesian crude palm oil (CPO) exports among 10 destination countries, namely India, China, Pakistan, the Netherlands, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Italy, Spain, and Singapore, (2) to analyse the factors influencing Indonesia's CPO exports to these 10 destination countries, and (3) to examine the impact of geographical distance on Indonesia's CPO exports to these countries. The research was conducted from April to September 2021, using panel data that combines time series and cross-sectional data from 2011 to 2020. The findings indicate that India, China, the Netherlands, and Italy had positive constants, while the remaining six countries had negative constants in terms of Indonesia's CPO exports. The combined effect of Indonesia's gross domestic product (GDP) (X1), geographical distance (X2), and the rupiah exchange rate (X3) significantly increased Indonesia's CPO exports to these 10 destination countries by 73.77%. Geographical distance (X2) had a significant and positive effect, whereas Indonesia's GDP (X1) and the rupiah exchange rate (X3) did not show significant effects and had a negative impact on increasing Indonesia's CPO exports to these destinations

From colonial exploitation to renewable transition: A critical analysis of Africa's energy paradigm
Authors: Archibong Emmanuel Iniobong , Afolabi Abiodun Paul
Published: September 2023

In this article, we examine the intersection of energy and colonialism in Africa. Specifically, we argue that at the core, colonial projects are driven by the imperative to transform the potential energy stored in colonized (or colonizable) subjects into mechanical energy for the production of wealth. We cohere how the search for new forms of energy has engendered vociferous criticism of fossil fuel and other environmentally degrading sources of energy under energy colonialism. We critique this rationale and identify the (neo)colonial catalysts behind the decisions to switch from one energy form to another. We further argue that colonialism has the coloration of a search for new forms of energy and that the wave of the current push for the transition to renewable energy (RE) in Africa is subtly related to this imperial project. We conclude that although the transition to RE is assumed to be the next big and sustainable energy source for Africa, such a transition must only be deployed after stripping it from the vestiges of colonialism that characterized previous energy transitions. This article, as a contribution to knowledge, provides a framework for a fair and just RE transition in Africa.
Non-pharmaceutical management of chronic pain
Authors: Rajeev Gupta
Published: September 2023

Chronic pain is a complex and pervasive condition that challenges both individuals and healthcare systems. In light of concerns about overreliance on pharmacological interventions, non-pharmacological approaches have gained prominence in chronic pain management. This article explores the scientific basis and benefits of diverse non-pharmacological interventions, including physical exercise, manual therapies, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), meditation, acupuncture, and herbal medicine, in alleviating chronic pain. Each intervention's mechanisms of action are elucidated, shedding light on their physiological and psychological effects. Physical exercise has emerged as a cornerstone of non-pharmacological pain management, offering benefits such as pain reduction, enhanced mobility, and improved quality of life. Mechanisms encompass endorphin release, anti-inflammatory effects, and central nervous system modulation. Manual therapies, represented by chiropractic manipulation, osteopathic manipulative treatment , and massage therapy, demonstrate significant pain relief through mechanisms involving joint mobilization, muscle relaxation, and neurophysiological responses. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) operates through cognitive restructuring, behavioral modification, and pain perception modulation. Meditation practices, such as mindfulness and meditation-based pain relief, cultivate mindfulness and promote emotional regulation, leading to reduced pain perception and improved overall well-being. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese therapy, involves needling specific points to achieve pain relief through mechanisms like endorphin release, neural pathway modulation, and anti-inflammatory effects. Herbal medicine, with its rich pharmacopeia, contributes to pain management through anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and muscle relaxant properties. Mechanisms encompass modulation of neurotransmitters, prostaglandins, and ion channels. Collectively, these non-pharmacological interventions empower individuals to actively engage in their pain management and improve their quality of life.

Nutritional problems are still a major public health problem in Indonesia. Malnutrition generally occurs in toddlers because, at that age, children experience rapid growth. One of the health indicators that is assessed for its success in achieving the SDGs is the nutritional status of children under five. Toddlers are a group that is vulnerable to malnutrition, which will be marked by stunting. Stunting (shortness) is a linear growth disorder caused by chronic malnutrition or chronic or recurrent infectious diseases, as indicated by a z-score for height for age (height/age) less than -2 SD. Cases of stunting in children can be used as a predictor of the low quality of a country's human resources. Stunting causes poor cognitive ability, low productivity, and an increased risk of disease, resulting in long-term losses for Indonesia. This study used an analytic observational method and was conducted in the working area of Sanggreng Village, Malang Regency and the data analysis uses SPSS. In this study, 24 stunting samples were taken from the child population in Sanggreng Village, Malang district. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the proportion of male stunting and female was almost the same. Parental education and work were not related to intake of stunting (p> 0.05). According to the study results, the most dominant cause of stunting is a history of exclusive breastfeeding. Toddlers who get exclusive breastfeeding have a 9.3 times smaller risk of stunting than toddlers who don't get exclusive breastfeeding, or exclusive breastfeeding provides a protective effect against stunting in toddlers. This is due to the proportion of stunting problems found at the age of less than 2 years. Ideally, a child will receive exclusive breastfeeding until the age of 6 months. In this study, exclusive breastfeeding was given at most until the age of 20–24 months (9%) and then at the age of 6–9 months. In this study, it was also found that 18 children had been given breast milk at the beginning of 6 months of life (18%), and 4 other populations were given breast milk and other foods in the form of formula milk.

Diarrhea remains one of the most important health issues worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality rates, accounting for more than two million deaths annually. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is central to the management of diarrhea, and is sufficient to prevent complications due to dehydration in most patients while the disease runs its course. However, ORT has no effect on the duration of the disease or frequency of bowel motions, and any agent that could meet these needs would therefore be a useful addition to ORT. The aim of the study is to evaluate the antidiarrheal properties of the leaf extract of Acioa barteri (Chrysobalanaceae) in Winster albino mice. The pulverized leaves were extracted by cold maceration using methanol with for three (3) days.Castor oil (1ml/kg) was used to induce diarrhea in mice through the oral route of administration followed by two different doses of plant extract (250mg/kg and 500mg/kg) administered orally to the test groups while Loperamide (2mg/kg body weight) was used as the positive control. Gastrointestinal motility test (Charcoal meal test) and Castor oil induced enteropooliong were also used to evaluate the antidiarrheal activity of A. barteri. All samples were administered once, and the duration of the study was six hours. The result shows that in castor oil induced diarrhea, the extract, 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg showed significant inhibition of defecation by 43.52 % and 71.48 % respectively and 2mg/kg of loperamide showed an inhibition of 70.80 %. The gastrointestinal motility test of the extract, 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg showed significant inhibition of defecation by 40.66% and 80.48% respectively while 2mg/kg of loperamide showed an inhibition of 78.92 %. From the result of the castor oil induced enteropooling, the extract, 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg showed significant inhibition of defecation by 51.27 % and 82.41 % respectively and 2mg/kg of loperamide showed an inhibition of 79.89%. The result clearly indicates antidiarrheal properties of Acioa barteri leaf extract, which could be a therapeutic option against diarrheal disease and useful therapeautic addition to the oral rehydration therapy.

Voices from National University of Bangladesh: Students’ perception of the value of linguistics and ELT courses in providing pre-service EFL teacher education
Authors: B. M. Shahidul Islam
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to provide an insight into student-cum-supposed teachers’ perceptions about the value of linguistics and ELT courses (LELTC) in imparting pre-service teacher education (PTE) for the undergraduate English students of National University (NU) affiliated colleges in Bangladesh. This is based on the postulation that students’ perception has a critical function in executing the goals and objectives of particular course(s). Through a self-explorative semi-structured questionnaire this study piloted a survey on one hundred five English students studying in their final year of Honours at three higher education colleges purposively selected from a divisional metropolitan city of Bangladesh. Findings revealed varied perceptions in students regarding value of the LELTC. Three separate perceptions of the students participating in the survey could be noticed regarding the value issue: positive, negative and ambivalent. Positive perceptions were perceptible among one-third of students; yet again almost the same quantity of students exhibited negative perceptions. Furthermore, the ambivalent perceptions exposed by a large number of students might designate their lack of awareness and their irresolution about the importance of the said courses in developing student-cum-prospective teachers’ teaching expertise. Lastly, this study offered a few recommendations for exterminating the prevailing wrong perceptions of students about the significance of the discussed courses in cultivating students’ teaching expertise. Thus, this study will deepen our understanding of students’ internal thought processes regarding the value of the LELTC as a part of a typical pre-service teacher education programme, and thus help us remove the challenges of misconceptions about the necessity of the courses from student psyche which can ultimately contribute to the effectiveness of the said courses in the NU context.
