The existence of NFT technology provides benefits for the realization of a digital economy in the future. However, not much research has been done on this technology. Apart from that, the adoption and level of legitimacy of NFT technology for economic actors in Indonesia is also still very limited. Therefore, the role of adoption and legitimacy for economic actors in Indonesia needs to be increased, considering the many benefits of this technology for the realization of a digital economy in the future. To be able to increase the level of adoption and legitimacy for economic actors in Indonesia, the first thing that needs to be done is to know the basic reasons someone wants to accept (legitimize) and then use (adopt) the technology. If the basic reasons are known, the government can implement policies that are able to encourage higher technology adoption. This research uses the ZMET (Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique) technique. This method is able to reveal a person's subconscious thoughts, which are sometimes hidden during interviews.

Legitimizing Authoritarian Transformation
Authors: Podoplelova Olga
Published: February 2024

In the early 1990s, the Constitutional Court of Russia (RCC) was viewed as an important institution for protecting human rights and facilitating the democratic transition. However, the good intentions of the constitutional drafters were insufficient to overcome the country’s totalitarian legacy and practices. An examination of the RCC’s evolution over three decades reveals two significant trends: Firstly, the RCC transformed into a machine for legitimizing laws designed to dismantle political competition, civil society, and civil liberties. Secondly, this dynamic did not prevent the RCC from losing its independence and political weight after the constitutional amendments of 2020. In this blog post, I will provide a brief overview of the RCC’s most controversial decisions over the past 30 years, along with the measures taken to destroy independent constitutional review in Russia.

Introduction: Kidney transplantation is the ultimate treatment for people with ESRD. The Donors for such kidney can be either from living or from cadaver donors. The living donors are healthy people who are thoroughly worked up and screened. For the benefit of another person we subject a healthy subject to surgery. For this reason a study on how a donor’s health is affected as a result of kidney donation needs evaluation.
Methods: This study is a combined retrospective and prospective study. The retrospective data were taken from the case sheet of patients maintained at the urology department of a large tertiary level hospital doing renal transplants. Prospective study of the cases were carried out by following up detail donor workup including history, clinical examination and investigations relevant to donor work up as per the protocol followed in the transplant center. Each prospective case were studied for complications of donor nephrectomy and followed up for a period of up to one year after donor nephrectomy. 
Results: A total of 36 donors underwent donor nephrectomy during the study period. There were only two laparoscopic nephrectomies and 34 by standard retroperitoneal open surgical method. 13 donors had postoperative complications (36.11%). The duration of stay varied from 5-35 days. Majority of the donors (44%) had a stay within the range of 10-15 days, followed by a stay of 5-10 days (30-56 percent of the donors). The remaining stay ranged from 2.78% to 8.33 %. The average stay in the hospital was found to be 14.17 days with SD of 6.45 days.
Conclusion: Living kidney donation with all its advantages still holds the best solution for end stage renal disease. The inconvenience of haemodialysis along with the cost and loss of labour of a patient on haemodialysis makes renal transplant the ultimate replacement of a non-functioning kidney. The advantage of timing of transplantion according to the condition of the recipient makes it far superior than cadaver grafts.

Introduction: Most of the surgeries done in our country under anesthesia are mostly at urban region and very low number at remote areas. Even those surgeries done under anesthesia do not receive proper premedication. Pre-anesthetic medicine has been linked to a variety of outcomes, including postoperative recovery time, the need for postoperative analgesia, and hospital stay. Yet, we have very less data regarding the patterns of use of drugs for premedication.
Methods: It is a cross-sectional descriptive study performed in the department of Anesthesiology at KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital from 15th Feb 2022 till 14th Feb 2023, after obtaining ethical clearance from the Institutional Review Committee. The total sample size was 385 which were calculated using Cochrane formula. All the patients who belonged to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-III undergoing elective surgical procedures and administered premedication were selected for the study only after their informed written consent.
Results: Out of 496 cases, 385 (53.8%) of patients were selected and pre-medications were recorded. The premedication used were metoclopramide 375 (97.4%), pantoprazole 375 (97.4%), paracetamol 52 (13.5%), glycopyrrolate 26 (6.75%), pregabalin 21 (5.45%), alprazolam 20 (5.19%), and lorazepam 1 (0.25%).  Types of surgeries categorizations were 59.22 % general surgery, 17.92 % Gynecological and Obstetrics, 17.14 % Orthopedic cases, 4.67 % ENT and 1.04 % dental cases.
Conclusion: The most commonly administered pre-anesthetic drugs were metoclopramide, pantoprazole, paracetamol, pregabalin, alprazolam and then lorazepam.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Appendicitis is worldwide the most common surgical emergency that affects both genders and all ages.

Methods: This study aimed to assess the epidemiology and clinical profiles of cases of appendicitis in Nepal and compare it with the existing literature. A cross-sectional descriptive study was done on 756 patients attending Dhulikhel hospital a tertiary health care center in Dhulikhel Nepal. All the patients clinically diagnosed with appendicitis were included in this study. The required information was coded, and entered in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analysis was done using SPSS version 22.  The epidemiological and clinical findings were analyzed.

Results: Mean age of patients was 29.13 ± 16 years. Out of 756 patients, 458 (60.9 %) of patients were male and 298 (39.4%) were females. The majority 42.7% of patients were from Brahmin/Chhetri ethnicity. The most common procedure for the management of appendicitis was laparoscopic appendectomy (61.24%) followed by Open appendectomy (30.6%). The mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was highest among conservative (5.2 days) and lowest among laparoscopic appendectomies (2.2 days). Most of the cases were acute inflammation (47.8%).

Conclusion: Appendicitis is more common among males than females, and between 20- 30 yrs of age. The most common surgical procedure was laparoscopic appendectomy, and it has been recorded those minimum days of postoperative hospital stay was also found among laparoscopic appendectomy. Most cases are acute inflammation.

Introduction: Personal and Professional Advancement module (PPA) is introduced in today’s updated medical school curriculum. The main purpose of PPA is to assess student’s personal growth and professional development. It emphasizes the importance of “hidden curriculum” as part of medical training. The success story of a modern-day physician center is substantially based on the knowledge of proper professional skills. PPA is introduced to achieve the general objective of producing medical doctors who are caring, holistic and professional in their approach. Therefore, it has become extremely important to start a professional skills course early on in undergraduate medical study, but to date, this has been given relatively little or no emphasis. In the present study, an attempt was made to assess the attitude of undergraduate medical students towards learning the PPD module

Methods: A total of 130 undergraduate medical students at School of Medicine were included in the study. This study was based on an anonymous self-administered questionnaire on attitudes of undergraduate medical students towards personal and professional advancement module. The data were collected from all the batches of students. All participants (n=130) had completed the questionnaires completely, therefore, 100% of samples were included for data analysis. Data was coded and entered into Microsoft Excel software and analyzed using SPSS version 22.0

Results: The content that was covered by the PPA sessions satisfied the needs of the 46.2% of students, 44.6% were not sure and 9.2% were not satisfied. The students seem to embrace the course better as they go into clinical practice.

Conclusion: This study provides perceptions of undergraduate medical students towards PPA module learning. We suggest the integration of PPA module curriculum into the undergraduate medical syllabus, with an acceptable, focused, and interesting teaching module.

Introduction: Intracerebral hemorrhage is a devastating  type of stroke that leads to profound morbidity and carries high mortality. Survivors of  hemorrhagic stroke  suffer  not only from physical  and social decline but also results in loss of productivity and financial burden.

Causes of hemorrhagic stroke are hypertension, coagulopathic condition, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. lesional hemorrhagic stroke can be due to subarachnoid hemorrhage from intracranial aneurysm,  arteriovenous malformation, dural arteriovenous fistula etc.

Methods: A retrospective cross sectional study carried out at KISTMCTH. Data from six years duration was analysed from hospital records, outpatient department records. Patients that presented with intracranial hemorrhage were included. Post operative patients and traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage cases were not included.

 

Results:  Total of 112 patients was included in the study. 73 (65.1%) of them were male and 39 (34.8%) were female. putamen and caudate region were most common 47 (41.9%) followed by subarachnoid region 27 (24.1%), thalamus 19 (16.9%), cerebellum 9 (8.04%) , lobar region 8 (7.1%) and brainstem 2 (1.7%). Intracranial hemorrhage was more common in age group of 41-60 years 59 (52.6%)  followed by age group 61- 100 years 42 (37.5%). 14 (51.8%) female had subarachnoid hemorrage in comparision to 13 male (48.1%). Anterior communicating artery aneurysm had highest occurrence 10 (37%) followed by middle cerebral artery aneurysm 6 (22.2%) , paraclinnoidal / anterior choroidal/posterior communicating artery aneurysm 5 (18.5%),  vertebral artery aneurysm 3 (11.1%), distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm 1 (3.7%).

Intracranial hemorrhage had highest occurrence on the month of January (15%)  and lowest on the month of November (3.57%). 29 (25.8%) of total intracranial hemorrhage patient had intraventricular extension of hemorrhage. Intraventricular extension was more common in thalamic hematoma 15 (13.39%) followed by caudate/putaminal hematoma 10 (8.9%), cerebellum 3 (2.6%).Modified Rankin Scale ( MRS) outcome score was found to be highest as MRS 6 for 34 (30.6%) patients . while good outcome in terms of MRS 1 , MRS 2 and MRS 3  were observed for  7 (6.2%), 26 (23.2%), 25 (22.3%) patients respectively.

Conclusion: Hypertension remains one of the major risk factor that results in various location specific hemorrhage   and it  shows specific peak seasonal variation. Proper blood pressure control is recommended  for prevention of  intracranial hemorrhages.
