Anthurium blight is caused by Xanthomonas spp. which is regarded as the most threatening disease to the anthurium industry worldwide. Therefore, the current study was carried out to determine whether the application of sulphur nanoparticles (SNPs) is a possible solution for treating anthurium cultivars infected with Xanthomonas spp. The bacterium Xanthomonas was isolated using standard methods and a single bacterial colony was isolated using nutrient agar. The colonies were identified as Xanthomonas spp as they were gram-negative, motile rods due to the colony characters like yellow color because of the xanthin produced. The symptoms appeared in the pathogenicity test which was carried out by injecting purified Xanthomonas sp. into disease free anthurium plants confirmed the identification of the bacterial strain. Time-kill assay was conducted using Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and isolated Xanthomonas spp to investigate the behavior of SNPs. The results showed that suspension treated with 1g of SNPs for 30 minutes inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus colonies showing mean number of 7.92 CFU/ml compared to the control (mean number of colonies 9.09 CFU/ml ) treatment following 12 hours incubation. However, Escherichia coli, and isolated gram-negative rods (Xanthomonas spp) did not show positive influence for SNPs when compared to the control treatment. Therefore, further investigation is required to reach firm conclusions about this matter because the antimicrobial activity of SNPs varies depending on the type of target microorganisms, method and solvent used to dissolve SNPs.

Urban farming (UF) is emerging in the urban areas of the modern world due to food scarcity in urban areas. Urban agriculture is enjoying a resurgence in popularity that began decades ago. It's now widely acknowledged and accepted as a means of gaining several environmental, economic, and social advantages. However, the cradle of urban farming is from our ancestral civilization. Hence, documenting different urban farming techniques used by our ancestors is very important. Consequently, this study is launched to study how our ancestors used urban farming to feed their ever-growing urban population. To structure the database, the UF-related words and keywords are divided into five categories. After that, using different keyword combinations for both ‘history’ and UF the online databases Scopus, ScienceDirect and ISI Web of Science (WoS) were searched. The samples presented here demonstrate the diversity of landscapes found in the Mayan Civilizations. Spatial variances in the underlying environment, various environmental changes, and civilizations' adaptability across time all contributed to this heterogeneity. Whether this civilization chose to focus on agriculture in wetlands or dry uplands, how they dealt with the annual problem of the dry season and water availability, and how diverse and nutritious soils were across the broader landscape all showcase the adaptive strategies used by the civilization to suit the different environmental conditions. Techniques like Raised bed farming in Mayan Civilization, are great examples of their adaptability to the climatic changes using creative solutions. All these civilizations flourished for centuries before their collapse. As a framework for addressing community cohesiveness and food access, Urban farming is entering a new phase. Urban agriculture has the potential to help people adapt to climate change. Mitigation and adaptation will be aided by avoiding reliance on fragile transportation connections, experimenting with seasonality and crop selection, and developing community bonds. When new challenges develop, urban agriculture will be there to meet them, and it will continue to evolve as it reacts to key issues that shape our cities. And to aid this process a comprehensive look at the ancient world’s agro-urban civilizations would be very beneficial. Keywords: Urban Agricultural History, Urban Farming History, Mayan Civilizations

The tools include timeresolved statistics and spectra; autocorrelations, mutual information and transfer entropy; complexity, predictability and hypothesis testing. We illustrate the use of these tools by analyzing extracellular recordings from the leech, vasomotion data from monkeys, and human electroencephalograms.
A neo-Marxist anthropology of urban workers and peasant farmers in Thailand
Authors:   Singapore University of Social Sciences, Singapore, Rappa Antonio L.
Published: August 2023

This manuscript is an original cultural anthropological study that is based on fieldwork done by the principal investigator, Antonio L. Rappa, on groups of urban workers and peasant farmers of Bangkok, Chiangmai, and Pattaya from 1998 to 2016. The focus of this manuscript is on how these workers survive late modernity within the neoliberal capitalist world scenario. The fieldwork also showed the importance of materialism among Thai workers and how they remain trapped in giving up the surplus labor value of their work to the bourgeoisie (Marxian Theory). Since 1932 (the Siamese and since 1946), the Thai workers have been suppressed and exploited by the ruling elite (Power Elite Theory). Whether we use a Cultural Anthropological/Marxian, neo-Marxist Anthropological, or Power Elite theory (C. Wright Mills’ Theory) approach, it remains clear in 2022 that the Thai people still continue to be imprisoned by a desire for luxury goods and services (Thorstein Veblen). Then, there is the complication of religion. At least 93% of all Thai people are Theravada Buddhists and staunchly believe in worshiping the Buddha as well as in various superstitions. The remaining 5–7% are Muslims and Christians. It is only the Muslims who have consistently given political trouble to the Bangkok capitalists but the Muslims are not socialists or communists since they believe in the god known as Allah. Ever since the 1970s, Thailand came under serious threat from communism like many Southeast Asian states. King Bhumiphon Adulyadej (Rama IX) was already a deeply respected monarch and a virtual demi-God to the superstitious and animistic Thai Buddhists. Few Thais realized at that time that the King was also a well-read scientist knowledgeable in urban planning and agriculture. Rama IX applied the knowledge that he garnered from Switzerland and Cambridge, Massachusetts, toward building a new kind of thinking, called Self-Sufficiency Economy (SSE). Rama IX’s SSE was not unique to Thailand and commonly practiced to various effects in South Asia, the Far East, and Southeast Asia. Nevertheless, the king thought that the SSE would be a good way out for his people. He believed that if each Tambon or village could cooperate using existing resources, provincial assistance in agricultural knowledge, and the model-village concept, then the Thai people would be self-sufficient in many aspects. This was also known as the One-Tambon, OneProduct (OTOP) policy. This is itself a manifestation of the materialist cultural anthropologic of Thai culture itself. The manuscript concludes with an analysis of the dual pricing system or two-tier pricing system, and why the Thai people appear to support Thorstein Veblen’s Theory and C. Wright Mills’ Theory rather than any neo-Marxist theory of land distribution and property ownership.

The aim of this study was to determine the link between multiple directorships (MDs) and cash holdings. This study used the source from the firm’s annual report, as these studies were secondary data. SmartPLS 3.0 was used to verify the secondary data collected. This study shows that the number of people holding MDs inside the institution is growing, and this has a great effect on the organization’s interests. In addition, the findings support the first theory, which promotes chief executive officers to hold varied directorships because they contain desired elements from the companies. This study is unique because it is the first in the Sultanate of Oman to investigate financial enterprise at the Muscat Stock Exchange with the goal of achieving certainty. It evaluates whether having executives with one or numerous directorships is advantageous for the organization and its stakeholders.
Model of Policy Synergy in Fire Management in the City of Bandung
Authors: Satibi Iwan , Vaughan Regan
Published: August 2023

This research is based on the phenomenon of the city of Bandung which has a large and dense population and a high level of building density, so it is at risk of various disasters. One of the disaster risks that is quite vulnerable is the occurrence of fires in slums and densely populated areas. The high potential for fires and cases of fire incidents in the city of Bandung are empirically caused by various problems, including; Firefighters are hampered on their way, lack of understanding and knowledge of the public about fire services when providing information on fires, and traffic jams that occur on the highway, as well as crowds of residents who see the fire incident, making it difficult for firefighters to put out the fire. It is hoped that these various problems can be resolved immediately through policy synergy between the Bandung City Fire and Disaster Management Service and various other relevant agencies, so that the handling of fires in the City of Bandung can be carried out more effectively and efficiently. In line with this context, this study uses a qualitative approach through descriptive methods. Meanwhile, data collection techniques were carried out using in-depth interviews, literature studies, observation and documentation. The results of the study found that in order to synergize policies in handling fires in the city of Bandung, a clear concept and parameters were needed, so that they could be used as guidelines or references for all stakeholders involved in synergizing fire management policies. The parameters in question include; there is a common perception, potential resources, communication patterns, attitudes of policy actors, and the existence of an organizational structure.

PEMUJAAN DEWA GAṆEŚA SEBAGAI WIGHNESWARA DI KABUPATEN BULELENG (KAJIAN IDEOLOGI-THEOLOGI)
Authors: Gata I Wayan
Published: August 2023

Applied in terms of worshiping him remains the same. God in Hinduism manifests in many forms, specifically in this article is Lord Gaṇeśa. The Hindu community in Bali is currently trending to install Dewa Gaṇeśa within the scope of the house, because Dewa Ganesa is considered the ruler of obstacles, so no Hindu ceremony or worship can be carried out without adoration without worshiping Lord Ganeśa first. To produce valid and reliable data, this research uses qualitative research methods. To produce data that is logical, this study carried out several stages of data sorting in the form of: 1). Reducing data, 2). Display data, 3). Verifying data and, 4). Interpreting research data. Related references greatly support the validity of a scientific work, therefore library techniques are also used through a literature survey on Google Scholar. The community's understanding of Dewa Gaṇeśa in Buleleng Regency is low due to the typology of the people who do not explore enough knowledge about what is worshiped and what is Dewa Gaṇeśa and who is Dewa Gaṇeśa. People are still influenced by the feeling of being involved in and influenced by films about Dewa Ganeśa and do not know the full and correct meaning of the statue, its shape, position. The statue of Dewa Ganeśa is a unification of the concepts of cetana and acetana, purusha and prakerti, ardanareswari and ardanareswara aiming to simplify as well as save the ceremony process and not take up much time. Keywords: Worship of Lord Gaṇeśa, As a Wighneswara, Theo-Ideological Studies

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. It often causes impairment of sensory nerves, which can negatively impact functional mobility and quality of life for patients. Self-massage along with health education is one potential method to reduce the impact of DPN. However, to date there have been no studies examining such a treatment program. Our study investigated the effect of self-massage combined with a health education program using the self-efficacy theory on peripheral neuropathy in DPN patients. This randomized controlled trial collected data from 70 DPN patients. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups (intervention and control) which contained 35 participants each. The intervention group received 21 sessions of massage and health education (every other day for 6 weeks). The control group received only the normal program from the hospital. The participants were assessed for their peripheral neuropathy using Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) at baseline, after 2-week, 4-week, and 6-week. Generalized estimating equations were used to quantified the mean difference of scores of MNSI comparing between intervention and control groups for overall post measurement compared to baseline. The results showed that the mean of scores of MNSI for intervention and controls at baseline were 11.31 (SD = 1.36) and 11.24 (SD = 1.49), respectively. After receiving the intervention program for 6-week, the mean difference of scores of MNSI in intervention group reduced by 5.49 (95% CI: 5-5.98; p-value <0.001) compared to control group. Our study reveals that combination of self-massage and health education program based on self-efficacy theory can reduce peripheral neuropathy in patients with DPN. This outcome could be useful for healthcare professionals in improving the health of DPN patients.
Clinical information associated with bacterial culture proven Burkholderia pseudomallei among melioiodosis patients in Buriram province
Authors:   Department of Social Medicine, Buriram Hospital, Thailand, Darasawang Worrayot
Published: August 2023

Indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA) is a general rapid diagnosis procedure in melioidosis patients combined with clinical information. The Burkholderia pseudomallei culture technique requires prolonged time before getting culture results. Related factors of bacterial culture proven melioidosis and the appropriate cut-off point for IHA are unfashionable and need to be updated. A cross-sectional study was conducted among melioidosis patients using data reported in the medical records. Univariable analysis was performed by Chi-square test and Student T-test as appropriate. Multivariable logistic regression was finally used to identify the contributing factors to bacterial culture proven cases. The results were shown as adjusted odds ratio (AdjOR) and 95%CI. Validity domains, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratios at each cut-off point for IHA were demonstrated. The results revealed that after adjustment for abdominal pain symptoms, diabetes mellitus (DM)(p-value < 0.001) and dyspnea symptoms (p-value = 0.025) were the associated factors of bacterial culture proven cases. The IHA titer > 1: 10240 provided the highest positive and negative predictive values, 30% and 69% respectively. Both positive and negative likelihood ratios of this cut-off point were also accounted for as 0.95 and 1.003, respectively. Health personnel should perform melioidosis diagnosis by the use of clinical information and an appropriate cut-off point for IHA, especially in diabetic patients who have dyspnea.

Working conditions and quality of work life reflect a person’s overall quality of life and well study to date has investigated the factors contributing to depressive symptoms in people with type 2 DM in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of depressive symptoms among people with type 2 DM in Indonesia. This was a cross‐sectional study using secondary data from the Indonesian family life survey 5 (IFLS-5). A total of 774 respondents with type 2 DM were selected for this study. The dependent variable was depressive symptoms while the independent variables were demographics, economic status, smoking, duration of diabetes, chronic conditions, self-rated health, and physical function. The center for epidemiologic studies depression scale was used to measure depressive symptoms. The data were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression. The results showed that 70.70% of respondents had depressive symptoms. The risk of experiencing depressive symptoms decreased with age ≥ 50 years (AOR= 0.40; 95%CI 0.25 to 0.64; p<0.001) and good self-rated health (AOR= 0.54; 95%CI= 0.35 to 0.81; p= 0.003). Otherwise, the risk of experiencing depressive symptoms increased with a higher level of education (AOR= 1.78; 95%CI= 1.02 to 3.12; p= 0.042) and with chronic conditions (AOR= 1.64; 95%CI= 1.07 to 2.51; p= 0.023). Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with personal health conditions including older age, level of education, self-rated health and chronic conditions. Individual and community level strategies that can improve personal health conditions can be further studied to address depressive symptoms in type 2 DM patients.

Cyberbullying prevalence was increasing among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the factors associated with cyberbullying behaviors among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. In total, 720 youths participated in this study, and an online questionnaire was used. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and to determine the relationship of each factor with cyberbullying behaviors, univariate analysis was utilized (e.g., an independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and one-way ANOVA). If a factor had a p-value less than 0.20, this factor was introduced into the multiple linear regression analysis. This study defines cyberbullying as aggression from a perpetrator who intends to make victims suffer and feel ashamed, unpleasant, and hurt through the use of digital technologies via mobile phones and the internet. The significant factors associated with cybervictimization were analyzed via multiple linear regression analysis. It was found that being female, having a very good family relationship, using the internet in leisure time, having social support, and cyberbullying-aggression perpetration experience were significantly associated with cyberbullying. These factors could be used to predict cybervictimization in 34.8% of cases. The main influencing factor was cyberbullying-aggression perpetration experience (β = 0.500). Social support was a significant protective factor against cybervictimization. Future research should focus on preventing cybervictimization by enhancing youth digital literacy.

Objective: To assess the level of knowledge, regarding chronic kidney disease (CKD) and chronic hepatitis in high risk groups of people Study design: Cross-sectional study Place and Duration: The study was carried out at Ziauddin Hospital, Karachi over a period of 8 months from 19th November 2021 till 19th July 2022. Methodology: A total of 300 patients were interviewed verbally on a questionnaire translated into Urdu. Results: Regarding CKD, only 13% of the participants knew that it is a long term and irreversible condition, with only 6% of them being aware that it can also be asymptomatic in initial stages. Only 5% of them knew that disease management revolves around reducing its progression and complications. 33% of the patients knew about hepatitis B or C, out of which 26% had knowledge that it can progress to chronic hepatitis. Only 21% knew that the infection is lifelong and incurable. Almost 80% of the respondents were not aware regarding the different routes of transmission, the symptoms or the complications. Conclusion: The research identified dismally low level of awareness up to 80-90%, regarding awareness aspects of two very common health conditions. Thus, it is imperative to design religiously and culturally acceptable public health strategies to increase awareness for earlier detection of both CKD and CLD for better health outcomes and therefore to reduce the economic burden of our country.

Organ Transplant Agreement from Donor to Kidney Failure Receptor as Stated in Notarial Deed (Case Study: Central Jakarta District Court Decision Number: 587/Pid.B/2019/Pn.Jkt.Pst)
Authors: Pricilla Claudia Yolanda , Tjempaka Tjempaka
Published: August 2023

Health is one of the basic human needs, in addition to clothing, food and shelter. Without a healthy life, human life becomes meaningless, because with illness, humans may not be able to carry out daily activities properly. The purpose of this study is to review and analyze the procedures and mechanisms of human organ transplantation until it is stated in a notary deed.  In this writing, the research method that the author uses is the normative legal research method. Regulation on organ transplantation in Indonesia is regulated in Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health in Articles 64-65 concerning organ transplantation. In terms of reducing the illegal trafficking or buying and selling of human organs and to legalize human organ donation, an authentic deed authorized by a notary is required. The kidney transplant agreement in question has no legal force. In other words, a contract without a legal cause would be null and void.
Bank Syariah Indonesia Gold Pawn Law in Denpasar, Bali
Authors: Atmika I Kadek Semara , Silalahi Wilma
Published: August 2023

This study aims to analyze the legal contract for Sharia gold pawn financing in an Islamic bank in Denpasar and explain the suitability of theory and practice that occurred in the field after the issuance of the fatwa of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN MUI) Number 26/DSN-MUI/III/2002 regarding Gold Rahn which was conveyed by the bank in the inauguration of the BSI Gold Pawn Halal Agreement. This study uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical research method in which the primary source is based on direct fieldwork by observing the phenomena that occur and processes in real terms, then analyzing the suitability between theory and practice in depth. This research shows that gold pawning at the Denpasar Indonesian Islamic Bank uses 3 contracts, namely qardh, rahn, and ijarah contracts. The implementation of gold mortgage financing is not fully by Sharia, because it is indicated that the usury in giving ujrah is taken according to the amount received by the customer. In the ijarah ujrah contract, it must be calculated from the estimated value, so that there is a discrepancy between theory and practice that occurs in the field. This documents the context of content analysis which is different from the DSN MUI fatwa No. 26/DSN-MUI/III/2002 concerning Gold Rahn, because, in a qardh contract, there is no addition to profit.

Published: August 2023

Objective: To determine the effects of lower limb muscle fatigue on spatiotemporal gait parameters and turning difficulty characteristics during the extended Timed Up and Go (extended TUG) test in individuals with different severity stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD).Methods: Forty individuals with PD, classified as Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) stages 2 and 3 participated in this pre- and post-experimental study design. The participants performed a continuous sit-to-stand task from a chair based on 30 cycles/min set-up to induce lower limb muscle fatigue. They performed extended TUG test immediately before and after completing the fatigue protocol. Spatiotemporal gait parameters and turning difficulty characteristics were recorded using two GoPro® Hero 4 Silver cameras. Data were subjected to a repeated-measure ANOVA.Results: Individuals with PD experience significant changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters, specifically stride velocity and length, under conditions of lower limb muscle fatigue (p=0.001). These changes were more pronounced in individuals with PD in the H&Y stage 3 group. Additionally, both PD groups exhibited difficulty with turning, requiring more than five steps to complete a 180° turn and taking more than 3 seconds to accomplish it. Conclusion: These findings highlight the impact of muscle fatigue on gait performance in PD and suggest that individuals in later stages of the disease may be particularly affected. Further research is needed to explore interventions that can mitigate these gait impairments and improve mobility in individuals with PD.

Berbagai saluran informasi dakwah tentang perintah menutup aurat bagi muslimah sudah sering disampaikan. Namu, tidak sedikit pula yang meragukan bahkan menuduhnya sebagai pakaian budaya Arab dan sebagian lain hanya menjadikan tren berbusana. Menerangkan pesan dakwah yang bersumber dari Allah dan tradisi Arab yang bersifat taghyir (rekonstruksi) sebagai respons Al-Quran tentu tidaklah mudah, salah satunya dibutuhkan pendekatan antropologi Quran. Melalui pendekatan yang menerima tradisi Arab tetapi memodifikasinya dengan menambahkan ketentuan baru yang lebih universal, maka muslimah dapat menyelami adanya dialektika antara Al-Quran dan tradisi Arab.   Studi ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pesan dakwah perintah muslimah pendekatan antropologi Quran yang perlu diinternalisasikan pada subjek dan objek dakwah. Metodologi studi adalah kualitatif, data dikumpulkan berdasarkan sumber kepustakaan yang mengkaji tentang keadaan tradisi Arab yang mendapatkan respons turunnya Surat An-Nūr ayat 31. Hasil studi menjelaskan bahwa pesan dakwah perintah muslimah menutupi aurat memiliki peran signifikan bagi mad’unya. Dengan memerhatikan dialektika Al-Quran dan tradisi Arab hingga turunnya ayat 31 tersebut, maka pesan dakwah perintah Allah dapat terpahami. Melalui tiga metode dialektika Al-Quran dalam merespons tradisi Arab, yaitu tahmil, tahrim dan taghyir, maka metode taghyir sangat relevan dalam mengubah mindset dai dan mad’uw yang tercerahkan melalui beberapa tahapan enkulturasi menutup aurat dalam berbusana muslimah.

De Omgevingswet: balanceren op een staatsrechtelijk koord

De Omgevingswet: balanceren op een staatsrechtelijk koord

De Omgevingswet, die op 1 januari 2024 in werking zal treden, bevat regels over het beschermen en benutten van de fysieke leefomgeving. Het is de meest verstrekkende kaderwet en het toonbeeld voor toekomstige wetgeving. In dit artikel wordt de verhouding tussen parlement en regering onderzocht bij de totstandkoming, uitwerking en inwerkingtreding van deze kaderwet. Door de vele open normen en gedelegeerde regelgeving in de Omgevingswet domineert de regering bij de stelselherziening van het omgevingsrecht. Toch resulteert de geringe mate van parlementaire zeggenschap bij de stelselherziening uiteindelijk tot compensatiedrang. De parlementaire inbreng is aanzienlijk versterkt door de verplichting om algemene maatregelen van bestuur en de inwerkingtreding van de stelselherziening bij het parlement voor te hangen. Hoewel voorhang eigenlijk niet bedoeld is om de positie van het parlement te compenseren, is de parlementaire zeggenschap bij de stelselherziening hierdoor behoorlijk toegenomen. Het artikel concludeert dat bij vergaande kaderwetgeving serieus aandacht moet worden besteed aan de mate van parlementaire zeggenschap bij de totstandkoming en vaststelling van gedelegeerde regelgeving.
