Authors: Ririn R. Mandar  , Asril R. Mahmud  , Nurjannah
Published: May 2023

The development of science and technology today has not only had a positive impact on the development of children's character, but there are also negative impacts shown by deviant behavior that can be found in everyday life. It is suspected that one of the causes is due to the lack of strengthening the religious character of children from an early age. Therefore, the importance of strengthening religious character is instilled in students, especially elementary school-age children. KH hasyim asy'ari is one of the figures who is active and has great attention in the world of Islamic education. In the implementation of education, it prioritizes character building. From various research results, it shows that KH Hasyim Asy'ari's thoughts on religious character that must be possessed by elementary school children are purifying the heart, improving intentions, behaving qana'ah, being wara', and behaving patiently. And efforts to instill religious character values, strategies and methods are needed to support the implementation of character education for elementary school children, namely exemplary, teaching students with love and compassion, motivating students, stopping bad behavior by students, being gentle and being tawaduh (humble). These religious characters should be applied to the world of education, especially at the elementary school level.

A Morphophonological Analysis of the Applicability of Nasalisation Principles in Lungu, Mambwe and Namwanga Languages
Authors: Siame Pethias , Banda Felix , Kapau Humphrey , Amoakohene Benjamin
Published: May 2023

The paper explores the similarities and variations in the applicability of nasalisation principles in Lungu, Mambwe and Namwanga (LuMaNa) languages. LuMaNa languages are spoken in Northern and Muchinga provinces of Zambia. Lungu is classified as M14, Mambwe as M15 and Namwanga as M22. The study used CV phonology and comparative Bantu morphophonological theories and qualitative methods. Results reveal that nasal homorganic assimilation depends on the consonant which follows the nasal, such as, a voiceless cluster /nk/ when a voiceless velar /k/ follows /n/ and a voiced cluster /ng/ when a voiced velar /g/ follows /n/. Nasal deletion before fricatives from singular to plural forms of nouns are not attested, instead the languages undergo nasal maintenance where /n/→/n/. Nasal deletion before fricatives is only possible during the reverse formation from plural to singular nouns where /m/→/l/ and /n/→/l/. The post-nasal stop voicing happens when converting singular to plural nouns where /l/→/n/. Post-nasal consonant hardening occurs when converting nouns from singular to plural using /l/→/d/, /n/→/m/ and /w/→/b/. Post-nasal stop aspiration only occurs in Namwanga when the voiceless consonant follows a nasal as in; /p/→/ph/. There are more similarities than variations during nasalisation which shows that LuMaNa languages are at dialectal continuum.

The provision of public goods by agriculture and forestry has been a major topic of the agricultural policy debate in the EU. The objective of this paper is to investigate local stakeholder perceptions regarding the cause-effect relations between agriculture and forestry activities and a broad set of public goods and bads, and hence to contribute to the identification of improved policy options for a more efficient delivery of public goods from rural areas. The study presents an assessment based on 71 stakeholder questionnaires collected from seven case study regions in different EU countries. The survey was based on a list of the most relevant public goods and bads developed with the local stakeholders, and aimed to collect stakeholder perception of positive and negative impacts of agriculture and forestry on a range of environmental assets and their relationship with local drivers, socio-economic and cultural features, and policy mechanisms. The analysis shows that the role of agriculture and forestry in the provision of public goods is perceived as generally positive across the selected case study regions. Stakeholder opinions concerning the negative impacts on the environment were more divergent. In particular, differences regarding the impact of different socio-economic and cultural features, and policy mechanisms are evidenced. The results outline the importance of regulations. Also, payments for environmental services are considered relevant in particular for biodiversity, landscape, and water quality. Beside that, aspects such as expectations of society and the attitude of farmers towards the environment resulted noteworthy.
Vulnerability and resilience to food and nutrition insecurity: A review of the literature towards a unified framework
Authors: Montalbano Pierluigi , Romano Donato
Published: May 2023

Current approaches to measuring food and nutrition security (FNS) mainly consider past access to food, while assessing vulnerability and resilience to food insecurity requires a dynamic setting and sound predictive models, conditional to the entire set of food-related multiple-scale shocks and stresses as well as households’ characteristics. The aim of this work is twofold: i) to review the state of the relevant literature on the conceptualization and the empirical measurement of vulnerability and resilience to food insecurity; ii) to frame the main coordinates of a possible unifying framework aiming at improving ex-ante targeting of policy interventions and resilience-enhancing programs. Our argument is that clarifying the relationships existing between vulnerability and resilience provides a better understanding and a more comprehensive picture of food insecurity that includes higher-order conditional moments and non-linearities. Furthermore, adopting the proposed unified framework, one can derive FNS measures that are: scalable and aggregable into higher-level dimensions (scale axiom); inherently dynamic (time axiom); conditioned to various factors (access axiom); applicable to various measures of food and nutrition as dependent variables (outcomes axiom). Unfortunately, the proposed unified framework shows some limitations. First, estimating conditional moments is highly data-demanding, requiring high-quality and high-frequency micro-level panel data for all the relevant FNS dimensions, not mentioning the difficulty of measuring risks/shocks and their associated probabilities using short panel data. Hence, there is a general issue of applicability of the proposed approach to typically data-scarce environments such as developing contexts. Second, there is an inherent tradeoff between the proposed approach in-sample precision and out-of-sample predictive performance. This is key to implement effective early warning systems and foster resilience-building programs.

The value of Doppler sonography in differential diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy
Authors: Al-Lamie Saad , Ali Eaman Muhsin
Published: May 2023

In this prospective study we evaluate Doppler spectral parameters in lymphomatous, reactive, metastatic and acute inflammatory lymph nodes & evaluated the pulsed Doppler sonography as a technique to distinguish between different causes of cervical lymphadenopathy. Spectral Doppler analysis with measurement of resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), peak systolic velocity (PSV) &End diastolic velocity (EDV) was performed in 100 patients with cervical lymphadenopathy. The results of Doppler analysis were compared with findings of cytology & histology or with clinical presentation & follow up. T-test was used to assess statistical significance of differences in Doppler parameters between groups of patients. Significant differences in RI & PI were shown between all groups of patients except between lymphomatous & reactive lymph nodes. Specificity of 100% for metastatic nodal involvement was shown for cutoff values RI>0.80 & PI > 1.80 . A positive predictive value (PPV) of 100% for acute lymphadenitis was shown for cutoff values RI < 0.50 & PI < 0.60. An EDV > 10 cm/s has 100% negative predictive value for nodal metastasis, & EDV < 2cm/s has 100% specificity & PPV for metastases . Although there exist differences in RI, PI, PSV & EDV between different nodal diseases, unfortunately, only extreme cutoff values may occasionally be helpful in differential diagnosis. Doppler spectral analysis is a valuable noninvasive adjunct which can help in differentiation between metastatic, lymphomatous, acute inflammatory & reactive lymphadenopathy, but cannot eliminate the need for biopsy in the majority of cases.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is still a public health problem in Morocco. Tuberculous pyopneumothorax is a rare but serious complication secondary to the rupture of a tuberculous cavern in the pleural cavity. It is a well-known clinical form occurring mainly in extensive forms of tuberculosis and in frail patients. In our context, it poses a management problem. We report the case of a young man, chronic smoker, who presented with dyspnea and productive cough revealing a tuberculous pyopneumothorax. Case Report: The patient was a 28 year old male, chronic smoker with 10 PA always active, without any particular pathological history, who had been presenting for 2 months with a productive cough bringing back yellowish sputum with Sadoul stage III dyspnea, and progressive chest pain, all evolving in a context of altered general condition and feverish feeling. The clinical examination found a conscious patient, polypneic at 26 cpm, febrile at 38C°, hemodynamically stable, with objective pleuro pulmonary examination of a left aerial pleural effusion syndrome. A chest X-ray was requested in first intention, objectifying an opacity occupying the internal 2/3 of the left pulmonary hemichamp, not very dense, heterogeneous, seat of some cartées within it in connection with bronchograms with a clear external and internal limit drowned in the mediastinum, a left pneumothorax of great abundance made of an axilobasal parenchymatous hyperclarity without vascular framework with enlargement of the EICs and refoulement of the elements of the mediastinum towards the counter lateral side, and a filling of the left costo diaphragmatic cul de sac. A complementary thoracic CT scan noted a left hydropneumothorax of great abundance associated with pneumonic foci complicated by abscesses and multiple branching micronodules of the right upper lobe and middle lobe suggestive of a tuberculous origin. A drainage of the pyo-pneumothorax was performed with a bacteriological, cytological and ..........

Pott's puffy tumor is a rare entity, characterized by the association of a subperiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. It is often secondary to frontal sinusitis. The diagnosis of Pott's puffy tumor is difficult and often confused with a tumor, infection or hematoma. Although this condition is frequently observed in children, rare cases in adults have been described. We report the case of a 23-year-old man who presented with right frontal inflammatory tumefaction, and in whom the scanner showed a Pott's puffy tumor following frontal sinusitis. He was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy and percutaneous drainage of the abscess under the frontal periosteum.

These subjects were uniformly drawn from the multi-ethnic residents of the state. Anthropometric (body mass index-BMI) data and blood sample (via antecubital vein following standard procedures) were obtained from the consenting subjects. After laboratory analyses, the numerical data were subjected to statistical analyses using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent t-test with a p< 0.05 considered statistically significant were determined. Virtually all atherogenic lipid profile markers evaluated in the present study [TC, TG, and LDL-C, Castelli risk index (CRI), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and AC atherogenic coefficient (AC)] were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the obese subjects compared to those of the non-obese. And the values were even higher in the riverine obese subjects than in those of their upland counterparts. In conclusion, the outcome of the present study indicates possible existence of intra-cultural or intra-population distinctions that may be responsible for the severer atherogenic lipid profile of the obese subjects, (particularly amongst the riverine subjects). The likely imminent grave health risks (like coronary artery diseases, cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerotic, etc.) amongst the subjects (mainly the riverine residents) must be checked and properly managed at the levels of the individual, caregiver and government/regulators, in order to consciously reduce the huge health burden of obesity in our populace.
Exploring the Dynamics of Viscous Dissipative Fluid past a Super-hydrophobic Microchannel in the Coexistence of Mixed Convection and Porous Medium
Authors: Ojemeri Godwin , Onwubuya I. O.
Published: May 2023

This article investigates the theoretical treatment of mixed convection heat enhancement flow for an electrically-conducting and viscous dissipative fluid traveling vertically through a thermodynamic system where the parallel plates are constantly heated in a slit micro-channel due to mixed convection with porous material. One surface had super-hydrophobic slip and a temperature jump, whereas the other did not. The perturbation technique (semi-analytical method) was employed to solve the nonlinear and coupled leading equations. The results were carefully scrutinized, and the effects of the relevant controlling parameters are shown using different plots. It is concluded from this analysis that the fluid temperature and velocity was found to increase as the viscous dissipation term is increased. Similarly, the function of Darcy porous number is to significantly strengthen the fluid velocity, and these effects are stronger at the heated super-hydrophobic surface, whereas mounting level of magnetic field is seen to drastically weaken the fluid motion in the microchannel. Setting Br and A to zero respectively, Gr/Re=1, and Da to 1000, so that the term 1/Da becomes insignificant, Jha and Gwandu (2017)'s work is retrieved, verifying the accuracy of the current analysis. Further, the outcomes of this research can have possible applications in the lubrication industry and biomedical sciences and has proved very useful to designers in increasing the performance of mechanical systems when viscous dissipation is involved, as well as heat transfer in micro-channels, as it is in combustion.

Authors: Alabood Abdulaziz Abdullah , Almahmoud Mohammed Ibrahim
Published: May 2023

The free fibula flap has emerged as the preferred option for reconstructing defects in the mandible and maxilla. The method of implanting a fibula flap is nearly identical to that used on the original jawbone, but accessing the bone during surgery is the most challenging part. Previous reports discussed the use of dental implants following free flap tissue transfer. This review aims to discuss all the relevant trials discussing dental implants following free flap surgery.

An Unusual Presentation of Oral Pyogenic Granuloma on the Tongue
Authors: M Sandhyakrishna , Daryani Deepak
Published: May 2023

Pyogenic granuloma is a non-neoplastic reactive lesion that commonly occurs in gingiva. It is rarely found in extra gingival sites such as tongue, lip, palate and buccal mucosa. Lesions affecting the tongue are rarer and very few cases are reported. Unusual site of such lesions can be a diagnostic challenge. This case report describes an uncommon location of pyogenic granuloma occurring on the lateral border of tongue in a 60 -year-old male patient.

Objective: The use of permanent pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) is increasing. With technological advances, the devices' implantation techniques and programmable features are improving, and indications are expanding. Several technical and clinical problems are encountered during implantation and follow-up of these devices.
Methods: Our study retrospectively evaluated diabetic and non-diabetic patients who underwent ICD implantation in Mersin University Cardiology Department between January 2010 and December 2013 according to current indications. All clinical characteristics, baseline, 1-month and 6-month follow-up pacemaker data and baseline laboratory values were recorded.
Results: A total of 106 ICD patients (57 diabetics and 49 nondiabetics) were enrolled at the 1st and 6th months of follow-up. 47.2% of the patients were male and the mean age was 56±7.3 years. ICDs were implanted for secondary prevention in 83.9% of patients. ICD was implanted for coronary artery disease +/- ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF)+/- synchronization disorder. 75.4% of patients had CAD, and 89.6% had heart failure. The mean ejection fraction ratio (EF) was 31.3%. Early complications were observed in 10.3% of patients. 47.1% of patients received any treatment by the ICD, 34.9% had the appropriate shock, and 12.2% had inappropriate shock. The complication rate was 10.3%. While there was no difference in ventricular impedance and threshold values in diabetic patients compared to the control group, ventricular lead R amplitude values were found to be higher. The rate of atrial fibrillation was significantly different in the treated group. Treatment response was obtained in 71.4% of patients who underwent treatment change due to appropriate shock, incorrect shock and ATP.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the incidence of appropriate shock and anti-tachycardic pacing was higher in diabetic patients than non-diabetic patients.

Education is a basic need for every human being who plays an important role in the future of the nation, because a nation that is said to be advanced can be seen from its good learning system. Successful education is measured by the average number of graduates at various levels of education in various regions. But not all regions are good in the quality of education. One of them is the area in Indonesia, such as the Kapuas district, Central Kalimantan. It is known that in previous years this area lacked improvement in education, causing several areas where people did not go to school or dropped out of school. Many of the problems are caused by economic factors, laziness, lack of motivation about the importance of education, and so on. The previous Covid-19 pandemic was also the reason for the increase in the number of children dropping out of school due to a declining family economy. The number of areas in Kapuas district requires grouping the number of existing villages. The grouping aims to make it easier for the government to pay special attention to areas where education is considered lacking and other purposes are to find out which villages have low levels of education. In grouping, the system applied is data mining using the K-Means Algorithm Clustering method which is processed using rapidminer software. The groupings formed on the education level data of 229 records are 8 clusters where the lowest education villages are stated in (C1) with a total of 33 villages.
