Authors: Dwi Irianto Retno , Wisnu Bharata Agung , Saputro Ropinov , Pratiwi Ika
Published: August 2022

Pajak merupakan sektor andalan bagi pemerintah daerah dalam pengelolaan APBD yang telah diatur berdasarkan peraturan perundang–undangan, karena pajak dihimpun dari rakyat dan hasilnya akan dikembalikan kepada rakyat secara tidak langsung, dalam bentuk berbagai sektor pembangunan untuk peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Pajak Bumi Bangunan Perdesaan Perkotaan (PBBP2), merupakan bagian pendapatan pajak daerah Kabupaten/Kota yang pengelolaanya telah diserahkan sepenuhnya dari Pemerintah, berdasarkan Undang Undang No 28 tahun 2009 tentang PBBP2. Kecamatan Reban Kab. Batang yang secara administrasi pemeritahan meliputi 19 desa dengan jumlah penduduk sekitar 38.756 jiwa, telah memberikan kontribusi 73,88% pemasukan PBBP2 atau sebesar Rp. 873.272.803,- yang mengalami penurunan dibandingkan dengan penerimaan pajak tahun sebelumnya. Penurunan penerimaan PBBP2 tersebut berdampak pada penurunan penerimaan sektor pajak di kecamatan Reban. Hasil penelitian pada desa-desa di kecamatan Reban melalui metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengambilan data primer/sekunder , observasi dan wawancara dengan para pemangku kepentingan telah menemukan faktor penyebabnya, diantaranya: (1) Persepsi tentang PBBP2; (2) Menurunnya kepercayaan masyarakat; (3) Hambatan pemungutan pada WP diluar wilayah; (4) Penerapan sistem E-PBB belum membudaya; (5) Lesunya sektor ekonomi dampak Covid-19. Berbagai upaya harus segera dilakukan untuk menghindari terus menurunya penerimaan PBBP2 melalui langkah-langkah kebijakan yang tepat, sehingga sektor pajak masih bisa menjadi penopang dan andalan pendapatan asli daerah sebagai salah satu perwujudan daerah otonom.

Inclusive Language
Authors: Stokoe Jacob
Published: August 2022

There are simple but powerful changes anyone working in perinatal care can make to be more inclusive to trans and nonbinary people, while still centring women in their work. As a trans birthing parent, I have experienced how language can be a barrier to care. I have also seen how it only takes one person to make fundamental changes that benefit people of all genders who are accessing that service. In this article, I explore how changemakers, great and small, can make a difference.

Published: August 2022

 Introduction: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been suggested as a gold standard for managing complex wounds and to reduce the time of healing and overall morbidity and mortality of the patient.

 Aim: We have done a retrospective study to observe the outcome in patients managed with negative pressure wound therapy for varied etiologies.

  Methods:  Patients with complicated wounds including lower limb wounds post-debridement, upper limb wounds post- debridement, postoperative abdominal wound dehiscence, abdominal and chest abscess wounds post-debridement and amputation stumps, managed with negative pressure wound therapy were studied on the basis of wound outcome, total hospital stay, days of NPWT application and pressure and mode of NPWT.

  Results: A total of 42 patients with complicated wounds were included in the study. Mean hospital stay was 16.2 days and mean NPWT application time was 8.29 days with NPWT being applied on average for 3.91 days post-procedure like debridement or amputation or after wound dehiscence in which debridement was not done. As many as 41.5% of wounds were closed with suturing, 48.8% healed by secondary intention and 9.8% were covered with split-thickness skin grafts. A significant observation was made for lower pressure being used for abdominal wound dehiscence (75 mmHg) compared to other wounds on limbs (mean 98.33 mmHg) (P < 0.001). Re-debridement after the 1st cycle of NPWT was needed in 40% of wounds managed with intermittent mode compared to 6.2% in continuous mode (P = 0.028).

  Conclusion: NPWT can reduce and manage wound complications with improvement in the quality of life of patients when used at an appropriate time with knowledge of its mechanism and functionality.
Effect of Mastectomy Flap Fixation on Post-operative Fluid Drainage and Seroma Formation in Breast Cancer Patients – A Double-blinded Randomised Control Trial
Authors: Parikshith Manjunath Parikshith , Yelamanchi Raghav , Agrawal Himanshu , Ekta Yadav Ekta , Gupta Nikhil , Gupta Arun Kumar , Durga C
Published: August 2022

 Introduction: Post-operative seroma formation is one of the most common complications following modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Quilting is a technique where the mastectomy flaps are sutured to the underlying chest wall muscles with sutures, obliterating the dead space. The authors hypothesised that post-mastectomy dead space obliteration by intermittent mastectomy flap fixation leads to decreased drain output and seroma formation.

  Material and methods:  A double-blinded randomised control trial with two arms was conducted from November 2019 to March 2021 in our institute located in India. Patients with non metastatic breast carcinoma planned for MRM were randomly categorised into two groups of 35 patients each. In the test group, each flap was fixed to the underlying muscle using four intermittent 3-0 polyglactin sutures, which was followed by skin closure, and only skin closure was done in the control group.

 Results: The test and control groups did not differ significantly with respect to demographic and tumour characteristics. The average drain output of the test group (155.43 ml) was significantly less than of the control group (206.29 ml). The overall incidence of seroma formation is lower in the test group (5.7%) when compared to the control group (28.6%). The duration of hospital stay in the test group (4.63 days) was significantly shorter when compared to the control group (6.66 days). There was no significant increase in the overall operating time or complications like surgical site infection or skin dimpling due to flap fixation.

 Conclusions: Fixation of MRM flaps is associated with better post-operative outcomes related to drain output and seroma formation without a significant increase in other morbidities or usage of resources.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to investigate the music therapy (MT) effect on blooddonation anxiety and vital signs of participants. Materials and Methods: The study is a simple blind, controlled, randomized clinical trial. Participants were allocated by means of randomized controlled sampling. The study was performed in the blood donation centre of an University Hospital in İzmir, Turkey. The study was carried out in 60 participants, 30 randomized to the experimental group and 30 randomized to the control group .The control group was given routine attention, and the experimental group was given an MT intervention. The anxiety levels were measured by means State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) of pre and post questionnaires by a blinded investigator.

Results: Vital signs of donors were measured pre and post intervention. There were statistical differences between the control and experimental group in heart rate, breath rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures measured pre and post intervention. A significant difference was found before and after the application in the anxiety score
after MT (p < .05).

Conclusions: The music therapy application was accepted and evaluated positively by the participants for decreasing the anxiety of the donors before donation. Including the music therapy to the nurse care, applied routinely for the donors of the blood donation, is recommended.

Keywords: Music therapy, blood donation, donor anxiety

Patients after handling of brain aneurysm should be submitted to increased
care throughout the period of vaccination against COVID-19
Authors: Rybaczek Magdalena , Mariak Zenon , Polityńska-Lewko Barbara , Kochanowicz Jan , Łysoń Tomasz
Published: August 2022

Background: It is commonly believed that after successful clipping of unruptured cerebral aneurysms patients may be considered restored to normal life. Nonetheless, some 11% may develop stroke within a year of the procedure. Therefore the question arises as to whether this group of patients can be submitted to different medical procedures, including vaccination against COVID-19, which has been reported to incidentally elicit thromboembolic events, without the necessity of special precautions.

Case presentation: A contribution to this debate was presented in the case-history of a 56-year-old
woman who underwent clipping of 3 unruptured cerebral aneurysms and in whom CT 8 months postsurgery did not show any abnormalities. Fourteen months post procedure she developed headache,vomiting and hand numbness coincidentally with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. CT revealed a small hypodense region within the territory of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA). CT angiography demonstrated a gap in contrast enhancement of the MCA and of the left anterior cerebral artery (ACA), exactly at the sites corresponding to localization of the aneurysm clips.

Conclusions: Following clipping of cerebral aneurysms, patients may be prone to developing stroke coincidental with anti-COVID-19 vaccination. They may require special care during the peri-vaccinate period.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: The climacteric period is the time during which women exit the reproductive period
and enter a stage of diminishing reproductive ability.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate menopausal symptoms, depression, and quality of
life in pre- and postmenopausal women living in two different countries.

Materials and methods: The study sample comprised a total of 499 pre- and postmenopausal women between the ages of 40 and 65 living in Turkey and Poland. The data in this descriptive and comparative study were collected using a descriptive questionnaire, the Kupperman Index, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the WHOQOL-BREF
Scale.

Results: The mean depression scores of Turkish and Polish women were higher in the postmenopausal
period (p<0.01). The mean depression scores were higher in the premenopausal period in Turkey,
whereas they were higher in the postmenopausal period in Poland (p<0.01). When all the subdimensions of quality of life were compared between the two countries, psychological health, social relationships, and environment scores were found to be lower in Poland than Turkey (p<0.01).

Conclusions: The menopausal period is affected by the lifestyles and cultures of women. For this reason,
healthcare personnel who can reach individuals more easily in daily practice, should take cultural differences into account when providing care to women in the climacteric period. This will help to improve their quality of life during this period.

The relationship between patient activation level and self-care management
in elderly patients with chronic illness in the southeastern anatolian region
of Turkey
Authors: Utli Hediye , Vural Doğru Birgül
Published: August 2022

Purpose: High level of patient activation is important for better patient outcomes in chronic illnesses. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between patient activation level and self-care management among elderly patients with chronic illness.

Materials and methods: This descriptive and relational study was conducted with 503 patients aged 65 and older. "Personal Information Form", "Self-care Management Scale in Chronic Illness" and " Patient Activation Measure" was used to collect data. The Chi-squared test, Mann Whitney U,Kruskal Wallis tests and Spearman correlation test
were used to evaluate the data.

Results: The mean age of the elderly patients with chronic illness was 75.8±7.6. The mean Patient Activation Measure score was 51.3±14.8, and the mean Self-care Management Scale in Chronic Illness score was 99.1 ±10.7. 46.5% of the participants had a low level of activation. A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between the Patient Activation Measure and Self-care Management scale scores.

Conclusion: There was a poor association between patient activation and self-care management in these
elderly patients with chronic illness. As the activity of the elderly patients participating in this study
increased, their self-care management levels also increased. It is thought that the evaluation of activity and self-care levels in order to improve the health outcomes of elderly patients with chronic diseases is important in terms of determining the interventions that should be applied individually.

Keywords: Chronic illness; elderly; patient activation; self-care; self-management
Russia’s Strategy in the Aspects of Security
Authors: Dukiewicz Tomasz
Published: August 2022

An important problematic issue of the war caused by a specific policy is the relationship between strategy and politics. In the article, the author makes considerations using the research tools, trying to determine the nature of these relationships and where are the boundaries between these two areas, also considering the war in Ukraine. Many strategists and theorists of war state that the line between politics and strategy is obvious. When the conflict turns into the phase of the war, it is up to the military to end it. Politicians should stay in the background pending peace negotiations, giving troops priority in defining and managing strategy.
Considering the above, we can conclude that war is an instrument of politics. The military strategy is, therefore, part of a global strategy that defines procedures throughout the conflict without preventing soldiers from being in command.
The European Case for International Security
Authors: kunz Waldemar
Published: August 2022

Armed conflicts between states and friction within international organizations, not forgetting wars in the economic-technological, and economic-commercial dimension, including issues related to natural resources, raw materials, and energy, are part of an attempt to position elites in a new axiological-political space. This article takes up the complex and contentious issue of the security crisis in the European dimension, with an emphasis on international and transnational issues, while focusing on the transformation of the existing political, social, axiological, and cultural order. In other words, the issue concerns the new paradigm of civilization, which has been taking shape on a global scale since the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The main intention and purpose of the study is to present the complex problem of specificity of the European security, pointing to the processes and phenomena that change the architecture of the world order, taking into account the international, transnational, and migration contexts. As far as the diagnosis of the current international situation is concerned, it concerns the conviction about the regression of the old civilization and cultural patterns, valid in the 19th and 20th century, and the formation of a new paradigm from the turn of the 20th and 21st century (until 2019), determining the economy, politics, and society.

Published: August 2022

In this article, we present three cases of clunealgia admitted with low back pain. Their pain relieved with superior cluneal nerve block. The posterior side of the iliac crest, which is the location where the superior cluneal nerve passes, was identified using a high-frequency linear transducer. The drug injected separates the erector spinae muscle and thoracolumbar fascia and accumulates between these two structures. All patients were discharged with a complete pain relief. This report highlights the fact that superior cluneal nerve entrapment should be kept in mind in patients with low back pain and that ultrasound guidance can correctly identify the infiltration and eliminate anesthetization of other surrounding structures.

Published: August 2022

Objectives: This study aims to investigate cross-sectional area of the amputated-limb rectus femoris compared to the intact-limb and controls and to determine its correlation with functional strength and walking tests in prosthesis users with transtibial amputation.

Patients and methods: Between October 2018 and April 2019, a total of 14 prosthesis users (12 males, 2 females; mean age: 47.1±16.2 years; range, 26 to 73 years) who met the inclusion criteria, and 14 age-, sex-, and dominancy-matched able-bodied controls (12 males, 2 females; mean age: 47.1±16.2 years; range, 26 to 73 years) were included in this case-control study. Cross-sectional area of rectus femoris (CSA-RF) was evaluated bilaterally by two independent examiners. Knee extension strength was measured bilaterally by using a handheld dynamometer. Functional strength and walking were assessed by Step-Up-Over and Walk-Across tests of the NeuroCom Balance Master® device.

Results: The CSA-RF was found to be reduced in amputated-limb compared to the intact-limb and able-bodied controls (p<0.01). In the prosthesis users, the cross-sectional area difference between both limbs rectus femoris muscles was shown to be correlated with actual and functional knee extension strength, step length, and walking speed (p<0.05). Intra- and inter-observer reliability of CSA-RF on both sides were found to be good to excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.856-0.936).

Conclusion: Ultrasonographic measurement of CSA-RF is a valid and reliable tool to assess the functional strength and walking in the prosthesis users with unilateral transtibial amputation.

Angka Kematian Bayi (AKB) 2009 di Provinsi DKI Jakarta mencapai 53 per 1.000 kelahiran hidup dan menurun 4 per 1.000 kelahiran hidup pada tahun 2010 menjadi 48 per 1.000 kelahiran hidup. Salah satu penyebab kematian bayi baru lahir adalah BBLR (28,7%) karena hipoksia intrauterin dan asfiksia lahir (23,4%), prematur (26,2), KPD, gameli, belitan tali pusat dan partus lama 4,1% dan Intra Uterin. Kematian Janin (IUFD) (17,6%). Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan metode case control dengan pendekatan retrospektif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh pasien bersalin di Puskesmas Kecamatan Pasar Minggu yang berjumlah 675 responden. Sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 138 responden. Uji statistik menggunakan chi square untuk analisis bivariat. Berdasarkan data hasil analisis, dari 60 kasus diketahui ibu dengan paritas > 4 ditemukan pernah melahirkan bayi BBLR sebanyak 29 ibu (48,3%), dan sebanyak 31 ibu (51,7%). melahirkan bayi dengan berat badan lahir normal. Hasil uji chi square p value: 0,002 dengan OR 3 yang artinya ibu dengan paritas 2 dan anak 3 mempunyai peluang 3 kali untuk tidak mengalami BBLR dibandingkan ibu dengan ibu paritas 1 dan 4. Kesimpulannya adalah bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kejadian BBLR dengan paritas ibu. Disarankan untuk dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut terkait dengan faktor lain yang belum diteliti guna meningkatkan hasil penelitian khususnya masalah kebidanan pada bayi dengan berat badan lahir rendah sesuai dengan standar pelayanan.

This research work is aimed at evaluating microbial quality of soy milk taken by the populace in Enugu and verifying the safety standard of soymilk consumed by Nigerians in general. A collection of ten samples of soy milk locally sourced and produced by their makers were used for this research. The pour plate method was used to determine number of microbes present as well as the identity of the microbes. Biochemical tests were carried out on the isolates to determine using standard techniques. The microbial count and types of isolates showed a low hygienic standard of soymilk production, which will in turn result to a public health problem among the numerous consumers. The soymilk samples were seen to contain disease-causing bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. This research shows that the quality of some of the commercially marketed soymilk products sold in Enugu, Nigeria needs to be properly analysed in respect to evaluation of its quality to avoid dissemination of diseases or pathogens to final consumers. It is important also, that manufacturers of these soymilk products must be properly educated about Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as this will ensure that products are free of disease-causing microorganisms. Examination for microbial contaminants showed bacterial counts as high as 8.2 x 102 CFU/ml. The study showed some level of contamination of the selected samples with fecal coliforms such as Escherichia coli. Staphylococcus aureus was also reported in some samples. These findings reflect low hygienic standards of production, which causes public health problems in the population.
FIRST REPORT OF STEM GUMMOSIS AND LEAF BLIGHT DISEASE IN Momordica charantia CAUSED BY Lasiodiplodia theobromae

Published: August 2022

Momordica charantia is native to India and tropical Asia. During September 2017- December 2018 field survey was carried out nearly 5 hectares of bitter gourd growing areas in Mysuru taluks and KR Nagar taluks, with incidence of 20-30%. The fungal pathogen responsible for this disease was isolated on the PDA media. Initially colonies were pale grey in colour gradually becoming dark gray, and septate mycelia was observed. Initially conidia were aseptate and glassy later turned to dark brown, two-celled and thick-walled. By considering all these culture characters, the isolated fungus was identified as Lasiodiplodia species. For species level identification, molecular characterisation through PCR using specific ITS1 and ITS4 - rDNA primers was carried out. Phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the data obtained from nBLAST, which confirmed the pathogen as Lasiodiplodia theobromae. In GenBank the representative isolate was deposited (Accession number MN891762.1, MN891763.1). The pathogenicity test was performed on one month old bitter gourd plant inoculated with mycelia suspension of L. theobromae. Identity of pathogen was conformed through re-isolation of pathogen from experimental plant. In vitro fungicidal activity was also carried out. The present work is the first report of stem gummosis and leaf blight disease on bitter gourd caused by L. theobromae.
