Authors:   Consultant Upper GI and Bariatric Surgeon HOD General Surgery, Sohar Hospital, Oman, AL-SAADI, MD, MBA, MSC, FRCS HATEM
Published: March 2022

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a devastating condition with distinct clinical and radiological manifestations. Clinical features vary from acute illness with symptoms of transient headache, changes of mental status, seizures, and visual loss. Radiological features associated with PRES include extensive white matter changes mainly in posterior and parietal lobes consistent with brain oedema 1,2. Clinical Case A57-year-old man with oesophageal stricture presented to Endoscopy Unit planned for Upper GI Endoscopy and oesophageal dilatation. He has background history of benign stricture, GORD, and CLL. After the procedure, patient had low blood pressure associated with headache followed by sudden loss of vision and seizure. Urgent referral to Anaesthesia and on call medical team were requested. Initial CT Angiogram showed no intra or extracranial atheromatous disease and patent vertebra-basilar system. This was followed with MRI scan which showed high signal on diffusion with cerebellar and occipital hemispheres bilaterally with results favouring vasogenic PRES syndrome. Due to patient condition, he was admitted to ICU and treated medically with amlodipine and levetiracetam. Patient’s symptoms gradually resolved with medical treatment and was discharged home after a week. Patient was then seen in outpatient clinic and was doing well. No further symptoms. As patient requiring repeated Endoscopy and dilatations, further procedures were conductedunder GA. No intra or post procedural complications were observed. Conclusion Patients who develop PRES could have catastrophic neurological complications. Hence, high level of suspicion for PRES must be considered in patient who develops altered mental status, seizures and acute visions with hypertension post endoscopic procedure or administration of medications. The gold standard diagnostic imaging is MRI. Blood pressure control and discontinuation of any causative agents is the treatment.

Recent Trends on Parkinson’s Diseases Therapy
Authors: Lodha Sambhav , Kakadiya Jagdish
Published: March 2022

Parkinson's disease is a chronic movement problem found in neurology, but it's difficult to diagnose and treat. Because PD patients have a wide range of motor and non-motor symptoms, the diagnosis is clinical and can be challenging. The medical care of Parkinson's disease patients is tough due to a lack of pharmacological options and the use of levodopa as the backbone of treatment. However, in Parkinson's disease patients using levodopa, levodopa induced dyskinesia (LID) is prevalent. This is a common adverse effect that occurs after a lengthy period of treatment, but it can also occur after a few days or months of medication. Different surgical techniques, such as unilateral pallidotomy and deep brain stimulation, have had excellent outcomes in PD patients who are unable to control their symptoms with drugs alone.

Published: March 2022

Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and selective inhibitor of COX-2, it is used particularly for the management of rheumatoid arthritis. In this RP-HPLC method chromatographic separation was achieved on Isocratic elution of the mobile phase Acetonitrile: Ammonium acetate: methanol: glacial acetic acid (Proportion of mobile phase-45:40:10:5 %v/v/v/v) with the flow rate of 1 ml/min. Separation was performed on C18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm inner diameter, 5 μm particle size). The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min and detector wavelength were kept at 363 nm for monitoring the separation. The method was developed and validated. The linearity range was found to be 10 - 50μg/ml. Regression coefficient was found to be 0.995. Precision study showed % RSD values are less than 2% in all selected concentrations. The recovery studies for Meloxicam were found to be in the range of 99.7 – 100.2%. System suitability parameters remain unchanged even if the composition of mobile phase and wavelengths were changed. The proposed method was very simple, precise, accurate and rapid for determination of Meloxicam from pure and its dosage forms.

Published: March 2022

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a newly emergent relative of the Flaviviridae family and to linked to dengue and chikungunya. ZIKV is one of the rising pathogens promptly surpassing geographical borders. ZIKV infection was characterized by mild disease with fever, headache, rash, arthralgia, and conjunctivitis with exceptional reports of an association with Guillain -Barre syndrome (GBS) and microcephaly. However, Since the end of 2015, an increase in the number of GBS associated cases and an astonishing amount of microcephaly in foetus and new-borns in Brazil have been related to ZIKV infection, raising serious worldwide public health concerns. ZIKV is transmitted by the bite of infected female mosquitoes of Aedes species. Clarifying such worrisome relationships is thus, a current unavoidable goal. Here, we extensively described the current understanding of the effects of ZKIV on heath, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment options based on modern, alternative and complementary medicines regarding the disease.

People’s Perception of the Role of Foreign Power in Myanmar: A Case Study of the 2021 Military Coup
Authors: Thida Hnin Mya
Published: March 2022

The study explores people’s perception of foreign external actors in Myanmar’s domestic conflict through a case study of the recent military coup in Myanmar on 1 February 2021. Both Myanmar and China firmly hold a non-interference policy in other’s internal affairs stemming from the ‘Five Principles of Co-existence. However, the traditionally strong relationship between China and the Myanmar army, the Chinese response to the military coup, and its attitude to the army leaders have become controversial among people in Myanmar, leading to a growing anti-Chinese sentiment. By conducting a survey with the Myanmar diaspora, the paper analyses how people in Myanmar perceive China’s role in Myanmar’s internal affairs. The study concludes that, given China’s growing international role, Beijing should pay particular attention to how its foreign policy actions are perceived by the populations of other states.
Russian-Sino Relations in Post-Covid Asia : Moscow’s Perspective
Authors: Vigóczki Máté György
Published: March 2022

From the Kremlin’s perspective, the global great power rivalry has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, which will result in a US-Chinese bipolarity. Moscow would like to avoid being in a situation where it needs to choose a side because Russia would either become a junior partner or become marginalized. Therefore, the Kremlin will develop its bilateral relations with Beijing and other countries on the Eurasian continent, and it will try to find multilateral cooperations and international organizations (SCO, EEU, UN) to preserve its room to manoeuvre and protect its own strategic autonomy in global politics. The pandemic has shown the deficiency of the cooperation between Russia and China, although no strategic-level disagreement has occurred. A military alliance still seems impossible between the two countries, with Russia’s economic ties overly focused on the export of raw materials, although there are promising projects, for example, in the Arctic region. In the long term, a flexible strategic partnership could be the most suitable way of cooperation for the parties, but their bilateral relations will be greatly influenced by their respective relations with the West.
Pay for performance system in Turkey and the world; a global overview

Published: March 2022

Objective: This study aimed to compare the pay for performance system applied nationally in Turkey and in other countries around the world and to reveal the effects of the system applied in our country on the general surgery.

Material and Methods: Current literature and countries’ programs on the implementation of the pay for performance system were recorded. The results of the Turkish Surgical Association’s performance and Healthcare Implementation Communique (HIC) commission studies were evaluated in light of the literature.

Results: Many countries have implemented performance systems on a limited scale to improve quality, speed up the diagnosis, treatment, and control of certain diseases, and they have generally applied it as a financial promotion by receiving the support of health insurance companies and nongovernmental organizations. It turns out that surgeons in our country feel that they are being wronged because of the injustice in the current system because the property of their works is not appreciated and they cannot get the reward for the work they do. This is also the reason for the reluctance of medical school graduates to choose general surgery.

Conclusion: Authorities should pay attention to the opinions of associations and experts in the related field when creating lists of interventional procedures related to surgery. Equal pay should be given to equal work nationally, and surgeons should be encouraged by incentives to perform detailed, qualified surgeries. There is a possibility that the staff positions opened for general surgery, as well as, all surgical branches will remain empty in the near future.
Alteraciones psíquicas a partir de vivir violación sexual múltiple: retos pendientes
Authors:   Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco Villahermosa, Tabasco, México, Castellanos-Suárez Viviana
Published: March 2022

La violación sexual múltiple gesta en la víctima alteraciones que se traducen en secuelas de daño y sufrimiento a la psique y a las estructuras mentales. El objetivo del presente estudio versa en visibilizarlas e identificarlas para enriquecer el estudio de alteraciones psicológicas de la victimización y con ello contribuir con evidencias y nuevos hallazgos al escenario del trauma psicológico y el manejo e intervención en el pos escenario violento. El método que se plantea es una investigación cualitativa, de tipo exploratorio, descriptiva e interpretativa, en la cual se retoma la narrativa testimonial de tres mujeres víctimas directas. Los resultados arrojan alteraciones en términos de sobre estimulación, disminución, deprivación o confusión respecto a las huellas de dolor y sufrimiento, amenaza suspendida, proxémica rota, redisparadores del miedo y en el sistema de ataque de huida se aprecia que estas cinco alteraciones tienen como base común el miedo extremo. Se concluye que se deben incluir estos hallazgos en los tratamientos terapéuticos con el fin de mitigar las alteraciones de la victimización y a su vez contribuir con el neuroderecho al visibilizar estas consecuencias en su psiquis y en las estructuras mentales; con ello se busca darle mayor relevancia legal a la contundencia de los daños y la necesidad del acompañamiento terapéutico victimológico, que conceda el paso no solo a la recuperación y bienestar de las mujeres, sino también a restituir la integridad personal que les fue arrebatada.

Published: March 2022

Current studies show that video game playing results in negative impacts to children. These negative impacts include game addiction, online risks, and exposure to child-inappropriate content. Studies also show that parents play a significant role in mitigating these negative impacts by applying strategies such as monitoring and supervision of children in their use of video games. This case study aimed to determine specific strategies adopted by parents to mediate their children's video game playing and find out what their outcomes are. In-depth interviews with parents of children aged 7–14 revealed that they generally had negative perceptions of video games. These negative perceptions resulted to either restrictive or active mediation or a combination of both. Parents' time with their children and the place where their children played have been found as significant predictors of mediation. Moreover, the strategies informants used to manage their children's video game playing resulted in more positive than negative outcomes. Those who engaged in active mediation and co-playing established good parentchild relationship and led to children's obedience to rules. Restrictive mediation either had positive or negative outcomes. The most common negative outcomes were parent-child conflict and children's disobedience to the rules their parents laid out to limit their video game playing.

Published: March 2022

Sign language is one of the oldest and most natural forms of language for communication, but since most people do not know sign language and interpreters are very difficult to come by, we have come up with a real-time method using neural networks for fingerspelling-based Indian Sign Language. We collected a dataset of depth based segmented RGB image for classifying 36 different gestures (alphabets and numerals). The system takes in a hand gesture as input and returns the corresponding recognized character as output in real time on the monitor screen. For classification we used Convolutional Neural Network. Our method provides 95.7 % accuracy for the 36-hand gesture.

Published: March 2022

Background:  There is an increasing number of refugees choosing to live in urban centers even when this makes them forego humanitarian assistance such as shelter and food from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and host governments. Refugees in urban centers have to fend for themselves. This situation sometimes makes them ‘lock horns’ with the local communities. We examined the perception of the local community towards urban refugees in Mbarara city southwestern Uganda.   Methods:  We conducted 6 Focus Group Discussions composed of local leaders of the villages where refugees live. We also conducted 4 Key Informants Interviews with the Refugee Desk Officer (Office of The Prime Minister), the Officer in Charge of Mbarara Police Station, the Mayor Mbarara city, and the Resident City Commissioner. All participants were purposively selected due to their knowledge about the study topic. They were interviewed about their perceptions towards refugees in Mbarara city. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and thematically analyzed.  Results:  Three themes emerged from the data: 1) Economic perceptions (employment competition, competition for land, basic needs scarcity, skilled labor, and economic favoritism) 2) Political perceptions (corruption, involvement in local politics, and security threat) 3) Sociocultural perceptions (religiosity, cultural acculturation, social inclusion, stigma, and sexual immorality) of society towards urban refugees.  Conclusions:  The community views refugees as people who are given preferential treatment by the government, civil society organizations, and the international community. Recommendation: Integration interventions are designed to ensure peaceful and cordial coexistence between the host community and refugees for sustainable development.

EFFECTS OF A PRONUNCIATION LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AMONG STUDENTS OF DIFFERENT LANGUAGE ANXIETY LEVELS>
Authors: Fong Soon Fook , Por Fei Ping
Published: March 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of three presentation modes of â€˜epronounceâ€™ in learning correct pronunciation with phonetic symbols among non-native English speakers with different language anxiety levels. The â€˜epronounceâ€™ which is an interactive multimedia pronunciation learning management system, was designed and developed with three presentation modes (Text + Sound + Phonetic Symbols[TSP], Text + Sound + Phonetic Symbols + Mouth Movements[TSPM], Text + Sound + Phonetic Symbols + Face Gestures[TSPF]) to address the needs of non-native English speakers with low, medium and high language anxiety in improving their pronunciation. The nature of pronunciation learning is a source of language anxiety. Non-native English speakers in particular, are very self-conscious when interacting with others in second/foreign language that might expose their inadequacies. The presentation modes acted as independent variable, while the dependent variable was the mean score of posttest. The moderator variable was the different language anxiety levels. The sample of the study was 329 Primary Five Malaysian students from three different schools. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were carried out to analyse the research data. Analyses of Covariance (ANCOVA) were used to study the main effects and the interaction effect of independent variables against the dependent variables. The findings of this study showed that there are no significant interaction effects between language anxiety levels and presentation modes of epronounceâ€™. Seemingly â€˜epronounceâ€™ is able to bring the students to medium language anxiety level and hence optimizing pronunciation learning, which is in line with the curvilinear relationship between anxiety and performance.

LEGASI DATUK SERI MOHD. SHAFIE APDAL (DSSA) DI PARLIMEN SEMPORNA DALAM PRU-14
Authors: Sakke Nordin , Abd Rahim Md Saffie , Dollah Ramli , Maraining Amrullah , Wan Hassan Wan Shawaluddin , Sarbi Fadilah
Published: March 2022

Semporna merupakan sebuah daerah maritim yang terletak di bahagian pantai timur Sabah. Pada PRU-14, pandangan penganalisis banyak bertumpu ke Semporna kerana reformasi politik Sabah telah bermula di daerah ini rentetan keluarnya DSSA daripada UMNO dan menubuhkan Parti Warisan. Ramai berpandangan bahawa tindakan DSSA ini sebagai menggali lubang kubur sendiri dan bakal menamatkan hayat politiknya yang telah dibina sejak 1995. Namun keputusan PRU-14 menyatakan sebaliknya malahan ia berjaya ditabalkan sebagai Ketua Menteri Sabah. Oleh itu makalah ini cuba meneliti sejarah penglibatan politik DSSA yang menyebabkan ia berjaya menonjolkan legasinya walaupun terpaksa berhadapan dengan legasi mentornya, Tun Sakaran. Bagi memahami isu ini, keputusan pilihanraya bermula PRU-9 dianalisis bersama dengan analisis kandungan laporan media-media on-line. Melalui analisis ini, didapati DSSA merupakan watak penting dalam politik Semporna. Ini ditunjukkan dengan jumlah undi popular dalam PRU yang disertainya kekal di atas paras 70 peratus. Walaupun rakyat Semporna sinonim dengan USNO dan UMNO tetapi perpindahan DSSA kepada parti baru Warisan, tidak menjejaskan sokongan rakyat terhadapnya. Ini dibuktikan dengan jumlah majoriti undi yang diperoleh semasa PRU-13 dan PRU-14 adalah hampir sama iaitu sekitar 20, 000 undi. Tambahan pula, parti DSSA mampu mengekalkan undi popular sebanyak 74.2% di DUN Senallang dan 75.4 di DUN Bugaya apabila berhadapan legasi Tun Sakaran.
AbstractSemporna is a maritime district located on the east coast of Sabah. In the last GE-14, most the political analysts were concentrating on Semporna because of Sabah's political reformation begun in this area when the DSSA resigned from UMNO and formed Warisan Party. Many claimed that the action of DSSA as digging its own grave and will end his political life that has been built since 1995. But the results of the GE-14 said the opposite, in fact, he has been successfully appointed as the Chief Minister of Sabah. So, this paper tries to study the history of DSSA's political involvement that has led to its legacy includes forcing himself to face for the legacy of his mentor, Tun Sakaran. To understand this issue, the election results starting from GE9 were analyzed along with an analysis of the content of online media reports. Through this analysis, it was found that DSSA was an important character in Semporna's politics. This is indicated by the number of popular votes in a contested general election remained above 70 per cent. Although the people of Semporna are synonymous with USNO and UMNO the shifting of DSSA to Warisan Party, does not affect the people's support for him. This is evidenced by the number of majority votes obtained by the GE13 and the GE14 is amounting 20,000 votes. Furthermore, the DSSA party was able to maintain a popular vote of 74.2 per cent in DUN Senallang and 75.4 per cent in the DUN Bugaya when facing the Tun Sakaran legacy.
SABAH SARAWAK KELUAR MALAYSIA (SSKM): HALA TUJU SELEPAS PRU-14
Authors: Saiful Sinring Mohammad , Govindasamy Anantha Raman
Published: March 2022

Kajian ini adalah untuk memahami perkembangan fahaman gerakan pemisahan yang digerakkan oleh sebuah organisasi dikenali Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM). Sejak SSKM ditubuhkan tahun 2011, gerakan ini telah mendapat sambutan yang baik terutama dalam kalangan golongan muda yang inginkan hak yang lebih adil terutamanya dari segi ekonomi dan politik kepada dua negeri di Malaysia. Fokus utama kajian ini adalah untuk melihat faktor-faktor yang telah mendorong penubuhan SSKM, strategi-strategi yang telah diguna pakai untuk menarik sokongan kepada kumpulan ini dan akhir sekali membincangkan masa depan SSKM selepas pilihanraya umum yang ke-14. Melalui kaedah perpustakaan, data-data sekunder yang berkaitan dengan SSKM akan dianalisis untuk menjawab objektif kajian yang telah ditetapkan. Dapatan awal kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa SSKM ini telah di manipulasi oleh kumpulan-kumpulan tertentu untuk mendapatkan 'political mileage' di Sabah dan Sarawak. Di samping itu, kemenangan parti tempatan iaitu Parti Warisan dalam pilihan raya ke-14 di Sabah dan pembentukan Gabungan Sarawak telah menjadikan tuntutan-tuntutan SSKM ini tidak disokong oleh majoriti masyarakat di Sabah dan Sarawak.
AbstractThis study is to understand the development of the activist movement called Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM). Since the formation of SSKM in 2011, it managed to galvanise the support of the youths in demanding equality from the federal government in Putrajaya for Sabah and Sarawak. By using library research and secondary sources, this paper intends to explore factors which have contributed to the formation of SSKM, strategies that were used by SSKM to remain relevant, and finally, the future of SKMM in the aftermath of the 14th Malaysian General Elections. The findings of this study indicate that the leaders of SKMM have manipulated the issues related to Sabahan and Sarawakian rights for their personal political gain. The election victory for the Sabah based Parti Warisan Sabah and the creation of Parti Gabungan Sarawak in the recently concluded election have hampered the relevance of SKMM in Sabah and Sarawak.

Hubungan antara Empayar Uthmaniyyah dan Kerajaan Kesultanan Melayu di Nusantara pada abad ke-16 sehingga Perang Dunia Pertama merupakan perhubungan yang diasaskan oleh semangat ummatik atau Pan-Islamisme. Ia terbukti menerusi catatan sejarah yang menunjukkan Empayar Uthmaniyyah yang menjadi kuasa tertinggi khilafah umat Islam pada abad-abad berkenaan bertanggungjawab dalam melindungi Kerajaan Kesultanan Melayu di Nusantara. Kerajaan Kesultanan Johor bermula pada abad ke-18 Masihi telah menjalinkan hubungan yang rapat dengan empayar tersebut. Penubuhan konsulat Uthmaniyyah di Singapura pada tahun 1864 dan pelantikan wakil empayar tersebut dalam kalangan masyarakat tempatan menunjukkan betapa rapatnya hubungan antara kedua-dua kuasa Islam tersebut. Antara aspek yang begitu ditekankan dalam perhubungan tersebut ialah persoalan keselamatan perdagangan, jemaah haji ke Mekah, bantuan armada laut dan sebagainya. Ternyata, perhubungan yang diasaskan ini telah memberi kesan kepada kuasa Barat terutamanya British dan Belanda khususnya kekhuatiran bersabit penularan semangat anti-penjajahan di Asia Tenggara, khususnya di Tanah Melayu dan Indonesia, sekali gus membuktikan semangat pan-Islamisme menjadi asas kepada perhubungan yang telah dijalinkan tersebut. Dari aspek metode kajian, penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif, iaitu perolehan dan analisis sumber-sumber sejarah daripada sumber kepustakaan, sumber arkib serta laporan dan artikel kerja para sarjana yang telah diterbitkan.

The Interactions curriculum and professional development program is designed to support high school teachers in their transition to the physical science Next Generation Science Standards. Through curriculum materials, an online portal for delivering the digital materials, interactive models of molecular phenomena, and educative teacher guide, teachers are able to support students in bridging the gap between macroscopic and sub-microscopic ideas in physical science by focusing on a modeling and explanation-oriented exploration of attractions and energy changes at the atomic level. During the fall semester of the 2015-16 school year, The Learning Partnership conducted a field test of Interactions with eleven teachers who implemented the curriculum across a diverse set of school districts. As part of the field test, The Learning Partnership examined the impact of teachers’ inquiry-based teaching practices on student learning and identification with the scientific enterprise. The results indicate that students had statistically significant growth in learning from the beginning to end of unit 2 and that the extent to which teachers engaged students in inquiry had a positive statistically significant influence on the growth rate and a statistically significant indirect impact on students’ identification with the scientific enterprise.
