Stereotip Gender di Perpustakaan
Authors: . Mulyadi
Published: August 2019

Konsep gender di perpustakaan merupakan konsep penting yang perlu dipahami dalam rangka membahas masalah kaum perempuan atau pustakawan perempuan yang ada di perpustakaan. Pemahaman ini sangatlah diperlukan dalam melakukan analisis untuk memahami persoalan-persoalan ketidakadilan sosial yang menimpa kaum perempuan di perpustakaan. Sehingga kita tidak lagi mengartikan gender sebagai seks (jenis kelamin) melainkan sebagai suatu sifat yang melekat pada kaum laki-laki dan perempuan yang dikonstruksikan secara sosial maupun kultural. Penyebab ketidak adilan terhadap pustakawan perempuan adalah pemahaman tentang Stereotip yaitu konsepsi mengenai sifat suatu golongan berdasarkan berasarkan prasangka yang subjektif dan tidak tepat atau dalam bahasa sehari hari dikenal dengan pelabelan. Teori feminis exixtentialist Simone De Beauvoir biasa menganalisis keberadaan pustakawan perempuan di perpustakaan. Pustakawan perempuan sebagai internalisasi liyan Stereotip, ternyata pustakawan perempuan tidak bebas memilih yang berikutnya dan jalannya dirinya sendiri. Sementara itu kita juga sepakat bahwa tidak semua pustakawan perempuan menjadi liyan, beberapa wanita memiliki Kesadaran dirinya dan pentingnya pekerjaannya sebagai pustakawan perempuan.

determined to reach critical levels for fish health.
Spatial dissimilarities in seasonal cycle of PM10 particulate matters in Seoul, Korea
Authors: Bansal Parth
Published: August 2019

The increase in spatial and temporal resolution of pollution data has advanced the understanding of trend in pollutant concentration through time and space. However, this has also made inspection of time series and the relation between observations from different monitoring stations difficult to comprehend. In this study, we decompose PM10 concentration time series (2010 - 2018) from 40 Air Quality Monitoring Stations (AQMs) in Seoul and then cluster the seasonal cyclic components using K-Means and K-Shape algorithms. Firstly, the influence of diurnal, weekly and annual cycle on PM10 concentration is shown. Secondly, the clustering results illustrate that both algorithms are useful in determining AQMs with similar cycles, and together provide a comprehensive understanding of spatial differences in pollutant concentration.

Kim Kardashian: the Leader of the Influencers
Authors: Zein Laila Fariha , Setiawan Adib Rifqi
Published: August 2019

In today’s world, it is easier and easier to stay connected with people who are halfway across the world. Social media and a globalizing economy have created new methods of business, trade and socialization resulting in vast amounts of communication and effecting global commerce. Like her or hate her, Kimberly Noel Kardashian West as known as Kim Kardashian has capitalized on social media platforms and the globalizing economy. Kim is known for two things: famous for doing nothing and infamous for a sex tape. But Kim has not let those things define her. With over 105 million Instagram followers and 57 million Twitter followers, Kim has become a major global influence. Kim has travelled around the world, utilizing the success she has had on social media to teach make-up master classes with professional make-up artist, Mario Dedivanovic. She owns or has licensed several different businesses including: an emoji app, a personal app, a gaming app, a cosmetics line, and a fragrance line. Not to be forgotten, the Kardashian family show, ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ has been on the air for ten years with Kim at the forefront. Kim also has three books: ‘Kardashian Konfidential’, ‘Dollhouse’, and ‘Selfish’. With her rising social media following, Kim has used the platforms to show her support for politicians and causes, particularly, recognition of the Armenian genocide. Kim also recently spoke at the Forbes’ women’s summit. Following the summit, Kim tweeted out her support for a recent movement on Twitter, #freeCyntoiaBrown which advocated for a young woman who claimed to have shot and killed the man who held her captive as a teenage sex slave in self-defense. Kim had her own personal lawyers help out Cyntoia on her case. Kim has also moved beyond advocating for issues within the confines of the United States. As mentioned earlier, she is known for advocating for recognition of the Armenian genocide. In the last two years, her show has made it a point to address the Armenian situation as it was then and as it is now. Kim has been recognized as a global influencer by others across the wordl. We believe Kim has become the same as political leaders when it comes to influencing the public. Kim’s story reveals that the new reality creates a perfect opportunity for mass disturbances or for initiating mass support or mass disapproval. Although Kim is typically viewed for her significance to pop culture, Kim’s business and social media following have placed her deep into the mix of international commerce. As her businesses continue to grow and thrive, we may see more of her influence on international issues and an increase in the commerce from which her businesses benefit.
Reconciling Contemporary Gifted Education with Its Foundations
Authors: Jolly Jennifer , Warne Russell T.
Published: August 2019

Gifted education in the 21st century is in a state of tension regarding its past. Many early pioneers of the field held scientific and social views that are out of step with modern theory in gifted education. Yet, many of these people’s work is foundational to gifted education practice in the 21st century schools. Viewpoints of how to navigate this past while maintaining allegiance to modern theory include disowning that past, ignoring it, and building upon it. In this paper, we explore (a) the emergence of gifted education as a field, (b) the early history of gifted education and how it impacts the field today, and (c) suggestions for navigating the tension between the past and the present in gifted education. Though gifted education is over one hundred years old, its early history is still relevant and provides theoretical and practical insights in the form of groundbreaking research, theoretical insights, and cautionary tales.
Associations between school enjoyment at age 6 and later educational achievement: evidence from a UK cohort study
Authors: Morris Tim , Dorling Danny , Davies Neil Martin , Smith George Davey
Published: August 2019

Education is influenced by a broad range of factors but there has been limited research into the role that school enjoyment, particularly at the start of schooling, plays in pupil’s educational achievement. In this study we used data from a UK cohort to answer three related research questions. Is school enjoyment patterned by gender, socioeconomic background of cognitive ability? How well does school enjoyment explain later educational achievement? Does early school enjoyment at age 6 associate with social or gender differences in later educational achievement at age 16? Our results show that school enjoyment measured at age 6 is associated with gender and cognitive ability but not family socioeconomic background. For example, girls were twice as likely to report enjoying school than boys (OR: 1.97; 95% CI: 1.56, 2.48). School enjoyment strongly associated with later achievement even after adjustment for socioeconomic background and cognitive ability; pupils who reported enjoying school scored on average 14.4 (95% CI: 6.9, 21.9) more points, equivalent to almost a 3-grade increase across all GCSE’s, and were 29% more likely to obtain 5+ A*-Cs including Maths and English (OR: 1.29; 95% CI: 0.99, 1.7) than those who did not enjoy school. These results highlight the importance of school enjoyment for educational achievement. As a potentially more modifiable factor than socioeconomic background, cognitive ability or gender, school enjoyment may represent a promising intervention target for improving educational outcomes. Whether these relationships are causal should be tested via experimental studies.

Published: August 2019

This study tackles a worldwide problem, manifested in the low-level academic achievement in mathematics, by placing mathematics in a real life context beyond the border of book publications. It discusses the important role that mathematics plays in practice, as well as the effects of poor performance in mathematics on the academic career of students. The three pillars of the educational process are summarized in this article. In addition, the reasons for low-level academic achievement in mathematics are categorized in five divisions: student-related factors, teacher-related factors, curriculum-related factors, school-related factors and family-related factors. The article also states the stages in which mathematics goes through during school study, which are acquiring a strong foundation, practising mathematics, and the self-stage. Then it goes on more specifically to discuss the stages in which the teaching of any new concept or subject in mathematics must pass through. The researcher followed the qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews. The study ends up with suggested solutions for the problem of low-level achievement in mathematics for the student, teacher, parents and school.

Published: August 2019

Globalization, development of technology, rapidly changeable environment have established the values of their own. It has become almost impossible to understand moral feelings and relevant behavior. Certain part of the society is marked with spiritual poverty, impairment or negligence of moral values; violence, cruelty, dishonorable acts, indifference towards humans, egoistic intentions and criminal behavior prevail. At schools and families, youngsters are not provided with the teachings on morality, methods of self-management and behavior management. For that reason, young people do not have a full-fledged approach to moral norms and categories. They have difficulties in telling apart valuable and valueless, true and false, right and wrong. Therefore, the research problem of the present article is to determine the essence of honor from the 21st century viewpoint and what ways and means are needed to restore and maintain it among the members of society. The article deals with and analyzes the opinions of such outstanding public figures and thinkers on the concept of honor and dignity as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, William Shakespeare, Lao Tzu, Carl Rogers, Kwame Anthony Appiah, J. Hasley, Iakob Tsurtaveli, Shota Rustaveli, King-poet Archili, Ioane Bagrationi, Ilia Chavchavadze, Grigol Orbeliani, Vazha Pshavela.

Published: August 2019

Meckel's diverticulum it is the most common malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. Femoral hernia is the second most common inguinal hernia, and is characterized by incarceration and strangulation. We present a case of 90-year-old woman wiht strangulation of Meckel’s diverticulum in a left-sided femoral hernia. The diverticulum was resected and hernia was repared wihtout complications. A Littre’s hernia is a complication of Meckel’s diverticulum and it is a result of its protrusion through a herniary orifice. Surgical resection is recommended for this type of hernia due to possible vascular complications, intestinal obstruction and herniation. Although usually Littre’s hernia appears in the early ages of the life, we must not ignore their possible appearance in people who are aged. We present in this case a Littre’s hernia in a very old woman.
Atypical Presentation for Colorectal Cancer
Authors: Wong Wen Jye
Published: August 2019

Bowel cancer is the second most common non-cutaneous cancer diagnosed in Australia in both the sexes. Australia has one of the highest incidence of bowel cancer in the world. Pyogenic liver abscess has been reported to be associated with malignancy especially hepatobiliary and colorectal cancer.

A healthy 70 years old woman presented with non-specific symptoms which was initially thought to be secondary to haematological malignancy. Further investigation noted multiple large cystic and solid hepatic masses, which were suggestive of metastasis. However, hepatic lesions responded significantly with antibiotics which was in keeping with liver abscess instead. She was subsequently confirmed to have caecal adenocarcinoma with no distant metastasis.

Although uncommon, pyogenic liver abscess can be the first presentation for colorectal malignancy. Colonoscopy is essential especially if no clear cause of liver abscess is identified.

Authors: Aygun Nurcihan , Uludag Mehmet , Ozel Alper
Published: August 2019

Objective: We aimed to present a case with a previous thyroid surgery, who developed an internal jugular vein thrombus due to papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) in the remnant tissue.
Case: A 54-year-old female patient, with a previous subtotal thyroidectomy, presented with a mass on the left side of her neck. Thyroid ultrasound disclosed a heterogeneous nodule of 67x48x32 mm in the left thyroid lobe. An isoechoic tumor thrombus was observed extending intraluminally from the middle thyroid vein to the internal jugular vein. No lymph node or solid organ invasion were detected in the neck. Fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed cytological findings consistent with PTC. Total thyroidectomy, left sided central neck dissection and partial left jugular vein resection was performed. The pathologic examination revealed mid-differentiated unifocal encapsulated follicular variant of PTC. The whole-body scan performed after the postoperative treatment of 150 mCi of radioactive iodine, revealed multiple lung metastases.
Conclusion: The presence of a tumor thrombus in the thyroid vein or internal jugular vein is strongly suspicious for malignancy even in the absence of malignant findings on cytology. It is an important finding that is highly suspicious for distant metastasis in the cytologically diagnosed patients.

Tradition is a part of people's lives, there is always accompanying the journey of human life, various traditions in society are the product of human's own creation, always guarded and passed down from generation to generation. That is what happened to the tradition of manganan paerahu in the village of Palang in Tuban district, the tradition of manganan perahu which is a legacy from ancestors is always routinely carried out every year. However, along with the passage of time and the pattern of community life, the tradition of manganan perahu also experienced changes from the procedures for implementation and various equipment. The tradition of a boat mackerel that was initially syncretistic and even tended to be thick with nuances to Hindu eventually experienced a shift towards Islamic manganan perahu traditions. Strengthening the values ​​to Islam that occurred in the community of Palang was allegedly the main factor causing the change in the implementation of the tradition of manganan perahu from culture to Hinduan to Islam.

Authors: Ziaei Saeid , Rezaei-Tavirani Mostafa , Ardeshirylajimi Abdolreza , Arefian Ehsan , Soleimani Masoud
Published: August 2019

Background: THAP11 is a recently discovered pluripotency factor and described as an important gene that involved in embryonic stem cells self-renewal and embryo development, which works independently with other known pluripotency factors. We aimed to overexpressed the THAP11 gene in primary fibroblast cells to determine the effects of the THAP11 on these cells. Materials and Methods: The THAP11 gene was amplified using PCR followed by ligation into pCDH vector and lentiviral particle production in HEK293T cells by using psPAX2 and pMD2.G helper vectors. The human fibroblast cells were transduced using viral particles and after confirmation overexpression, the key pluripotency factors were estimated using real-time PCR and changes in proliferation rate was measured by the 3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test. Results: The overexpression of THAP11 in fibroblast cells leads to increase the expression level of Sox2, Oct4, Nanog and Klf4 as key pluripotency genes and a decrease in proliferation rate according to MTT results. Conclusion: Our results confirm that we are faced with a molecule with double features, which could be involved in pluripotency and proliferation suppressor simultaneously. It seems that the roles of THAP11 in pluripotency are so complex and attributed to other regulatory molecules. [GMJ.2019;8:e1308]

Authors: Jain Dr. Surbhi
Published: August 2019

Background: Blood donor programme is vital to any transfusion service. This process of blood donation involves voluntary and non remunerated blood donors. The objective of donor screening is to minimize the chances of transmitting infectious agents to recipients.

Material and Method: The study was conducted during one year duration from 2017-2018. A total of 700 donors are deferred against 9556 blood donors recruited on the basis of clinical history and brief medical examination in blood bank and voluntary blood donation camps. Donors were deferred temporarily or permanently.

Result: Out of 700 deferred donors; 546 were voluntary and 154 were replacement blood donors. Male (601) outnumbered female (99). There were 682 temporary and 18 permanent deferral. Most common age group for deferral was 17-30 yrs (490). Common causes included anemia(142), on medication(108), underweight(83) and high blood pressure(72).

Conclusion: Donor selection process is a most important preliminary step in blood banking and should follow stringent medical and regulatory rules. Studying and analysing the profile of blood donors will help to identify sections of the population which could be targeted to increase the pool of voluntary blood donors. Every attempt should be made to decrease the donor deferral keeping in view the safety of both donor and recipients.

COMPARISON OF BUPIVACAINE AND BUPIVACAINE WITH FENTANYL IN LOWER LIMB ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERIES
Authors: Dahale Dr. Suraj , Kale Dr. Satish
Published: August 2019

INTRODUCTION: A commonly used technique for lower limb surgeries is subarachnoid blockade. If there is inadequate control of pain, will affect quality, and functional recovery, also there is chance of postsurgical complications, and the risk of persistent postsurgical pain. Use of epidural analgesic technique for lower limb surgeries should provide better pain relief with minimal side effects, leading to improved outcome. Bupivacaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic drug, which was used clinically in 1963. Bupivacaine acts mainly by blockade of voltage-gated Na+ channels in the axonal membrane and possibly has a further effect on presynaptic inhibition of calcium channels. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid which is similar to morphine but is 50 - 100 times more potent, which is used to treat patients with severe pain, especially after surgeries.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective randomized study was conducted in the department of anaesthesiology at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Science, Adilabad, to compare single shot epidural 8ml 0.5 % bupivacaine alone verses 8ml 0.5% bupivacaine along with 0.50 mcg Fentanyl. Total of 80 patients with ASA(American society of anaesthesiologists)  I and II with age group between 24 to 56 years were included and 40 patients each were randomly placed in bupivacaine alone group (Group 1) and fentanyl in combination with bupivacaine group (Group 2). Written informed consent from all the patients was obtained.

RESULTS: Mean (SD) systolic blood pressure was observed to be 128.45(12.47) and 130.25(11.55) in group 1 and group 2 respectively. Mean time for T 10 sensory block was significantly earlier in group 2 12.03(1.12) compared to group 1 18.24(2.54). Onset of motor block was observed to differ significantly, where onset was significantly earlier in group 2 23.17(1.77) in comparison to group 1 28.45(1.49). The first analgesic requirement in Group 1 was earlier at 198.20 + 11.49 min as compared to Group 2 at 279.34 + 18.42 min.

CONCLUSION: Bupivacaine with Fentanyl enhances the onset of action and duration of effect for two segment regression. In present study the time to achieve T10 sensory block was early in Group 2 12.03(1.12) compared to group1 18.24(2.54).Onset of group2 23.17(1.77) in comparison to group1 28.45(1.49). Time of first analgesic requirement was found to be earlier at 279.34 + 18.42 minutes in group2 in comparison to group1 198.20 + 11.49 minutes.
“SURVEY ON THE PREVALENCE OF MOSQUITO BORNE DISEASE IN THE AREAS OF KOTA - RAJASTHAN”
Authors: Johari Dr. Smriti
Published: August 2019

The two major varieties are Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. Plasmodium falciparum is the most wide spread and dangerous of the four. Rajasthan also provides favourable environment to mosquitoes. Kota lies on latitude – 25°10` N & longitude – 75°50` with the intervention of Chambal river coming from Madhyapradesh and running throughout Kota city irrigating various rural areas via man made channels. Kota has also been a favourite place for mosquito breeding & hence a record of malaria & dengue cases reported are more from neighbouring Bundi (Roteda) & Kota city in comparison to other districts of Rajasthan. In Kota city maximum cases of malaria occur during August to October. The mosquitoes are more active in humid atmosphere. The rainy season falls between June to September. Rainfall provides water for mosquito breeding as well as increases humidity of the atmosphere for survival of the mosquitoes.

Published: August 2019

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is an effective approach to protect privacy and security of information. Digital Image encryption is an important issue widely used to protect the data and to ensure the security. Several encryption and decryption cryptosystems are available to keep image secure from unauthorized user. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has proven to be the best solution for public key encryption. It provides a good level of security with smaller key size. In this paper we attempt to develop an enhanced Image Encryption Scheme based on ECC and PWLCM (Piecewise Linear Chaotic Map). Here, we generate a key image to enhance data security using ECC and PWLCM. From the experiment results and security analysis, we prove that our scheme cannot only achieve good encryption, but also resist the exhaustive, statistical and differential attacks.
