Authors: Gongadashetti Kaivalya , Gupta Pankush , Dada Rima , Mahotra Neena
Published: July 2021

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility. Oxidative stress (OS), which plays an important role in determining the developmental competence of an oocyte, may be involved in understanding infertility and poor outcomes cycles in PCOS women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Objective: To measure OS biomarkers in the follicular fluid of PCOS women undergoing IVF.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 women with PCOS (n = 43) and tubal factor (n = 57) undergoing IVF, who were referred to a tertiary medical center between January 2016 and September 2017 were enrolled. OS markers like reactive oxygen species (ROS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and 8-Isoprostane (8-IP) were tested in the follicular fluid and various IVF outcomes in the form of oocytes retrieved, fertilized, cleavage rate, grading of embryos and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups.
Results: The results indicated that the levels of ROS, TAC, and 8-IP were higher in the PCOS group compared to the tubal group (p = 0.21, p = 0.95, and p < 0.05, respectively). Biomarkers based on the number of retrieved oocytes, cleavage rate, and grades of embryos did not differ significantly in the two groups. The median ROS, TAC, and 8-IP were not significantly different in the two groups in relation to the pregnancies, although the 8-IP levels were significantly raised in the PCOS women who had a miscarriage (p = 0.02).
Conclusion: This study concluded the possible role of OS in PCOS women with increased higher level of 8-IP biomarker as a potential biomarker that needs further evaluation.
Key words: Oxidative stress, ART, PCOS, Infertility, 8-IP.

Published: July 2021

Competency mapping is a process through which one assesses and determines one’s strengths as an individual worker and in some cases, as part of an organization. It generally examines two areas: emotional intelligence or emotional quotient (EQ), and strengths of the individual in areas like team structure, leadership, and decision-making. The significant of differentiating competencies into different types such as conceptual, technical, contextual, interpersonal, etc. has gained momentum. Consequently, understanding the abilities, intentions, concealed possibilities, qualities of the people working in the association is critical. Every job has its own profile and specification. The research involved a survey in which total of two hundred and fifty employees drawn from various spinning mills in Rajapalayam were used as subjects. It is examined with the help of statistical tool together with various demographical factors was also studied using simple Percentage analysis, Weighted Average and Chi – square test. Data was collected through questionnaire and analyzed through SPSS. The chi-square analysis shows that there is significant Relationship between age of the respondents and knowledge of the respondents and also shows that there is significant Relationship between experience of the respondents and job performance of the respondents.

Tissue ischemia, mechanical or thermal trauma, infection and foreign body reaction predispose to adhesion formation. Adhesion formation resembles an inflammatory process. Sometimes, they appear as a bridge to wound healing, however, in other times it may cause small bowel obstruction. Methylene blue is known to inhibit the generation of oxygen radicals. Therefore, it may be used as an antioxidant reducing adhesion formation. Hamsters are animals used in surgical experiments, including pancreatic and hepatic surgeries. 

Objective. To study the effectiveness of using methylene blue in hamsters that undergo hepatectomy or pancreatectomy. 

Methods. Syrian golden hamsters were divided in 6 groups: Partial pancreatectomy with splenectomy (PPS), PPS and MB (PPS-MB), Partial hepatectomy (PH), PH and MB (PH-MB), Sham operation (SO), and Sham operation and MB (SO-MB). MB was administered intraperitoneally before closing abdominal wall. Side effects were observed. Animals were sacrificed 10 days later and adhesions were quantified. 

Results. Adhesions were present in all animals (100%) of PH group and 3 of 5 (60%) of PPS group. In PH-MB and SO groups, 1 of 5 hamsters (20%) in each group showed adhesions. No adhesions were found in PPS-MB and SO-MB treated groups. None of animals showed loss of weight. 

Conclusion. This study suggests that methylene blue administration showed to be effective to prevent adhesion formation in hepatopancreatic surgical procedures.

Authors: Ogbonna Ogbodo Sylvester , Ejike Felix Chukwurah , Chukwuka Wencelaus Eze , Richard Ikechukwu Eze , Nonyerem Lilian Udengwu
Published: July 2021

Hemoglobin F is normal hemoglobin seen in minute amount in adults. Increase in its level in adults is an indication of erythropoietic stress, which in most cases is linked to hemoglobinopathy. This study was undertaken to assess if physiological erythropoietic stress as seen in commercial blood donation, can increase it and thus be used as an indicator of frequency and duration of blood donation. The study involved 152 subjects including 88 commercial blood donors and 64 controls. Hemoglobin F was expressed as percentage concentration of the total hemoglobin. Results showed that hemoglobin F significantly increased in commercial blood donors when compared with the controls. There was also strong positive correlation between hemoglobin F level and age of the donors which was not the case with the controls. The results indicate that hemoglobin F level can be used as an indicator of the frequency and duration of blood donation. Though blood donation has some health benefits, the disadvantages of frequent donation outweigh these benefits and should be discouraged.

Predicting University Students’ Exam Performance Using a Model-Based Adaptive Fact-Learning System
Authors: Sense Florian , van der Velde Maarten , van Rijn Hedderik
Published: July 2021

Modern educational technology has the potential to support students to use their study time more effectively. Learning analytics can indicate relevant individual differences between learners, which adaptive learning systems can use to tailor the learning experience to individual learners. For fact learning, cognitive models of human memory are well suited to tracing learners’ acquisition and forgetting of knowledge over time. Such models have shown great promise in controlled laboratory studies. To work in realistic educational settings, however, they need to be easy to deploy and their adaptive components should be based on individual differences relevant to the educational context and outcomes. Here, we focus on predicting university students’ exam performance using a model-based adaptive fact-learning system. The data presented here indicate that the system provides tangible benefits to students in naturalistic settings. The model’s estimate of a learner’s rate of forgetting predicts overall grades and performance on individual exam questions. This encouraging case study highlights the value of model-based adaptive fact-learning systems in classrooms.
Straightening History
Authors: Leong Kar Yen
Published: July 2021

In the aftermath of the attempted 1965 coup, many dissidents, leftists, and suspected Communists were either ‘eradicated’ or incarcerated in prisons all over Indonesia. Since their release, these political prisoners continue to face state-enforced discrimination and stigmatisation. The marginalization of ex-political prisoners by both the state and local communities has continued through Indonesia’s democratic transition following President Suharto’s downfall in 1998. This is compounded by the presence of right-wing groups who continue to harass them, labelling them as neo-Communists inimical to the Indonesian body politic. Through direct engagement with former political prisoners, I aim to understand rehabilitative efforts through support groups. In preliminary interviews, many eks-tapol refer to the need to ‘straighten’ history. This discourse highlights their need to be recognized as ‘whole’ citizens of Indonesia. I explore the state’s struggle to address this dark chapter in Indonesian history, what it means to ‘straighten’ history and how eks-tapol engage with support groups to re-define their position within the community, denoting a strengthened sense of dignity and humanity. It is hoped that this research will contribute to efforts to understand and protect the rights of eks-tapol and other victims of political persecution in Southeast Asia.
Involvement of the Indonesian National Military (TNI) in Legislation about Anti-Terrorism:
Authors: Prakasa Satria Unggul Wicaksana
Published: July 2021

Changes in the international humanitarian legal system in a global context have shifted, as the first war identified with an inter-state ceasefire. Today, the war party is not only a state but also the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy marked by non-state war actors, a terrorist attack. In Indonesia, the issue of terrorism becomes a serious concern after the first Bali Bombing, the second Bali Bombing, and other terrorist tragedies. Lately, the discourse of TNI involvement in the eradication of terrorism in Indonesia through the formation of the Anti-Terrorism Act. According to the issue, the research problems are (1) TNI's authority elements to combat terrorism in the Indonesian legal system; (2) the International humanitarian law system regulates the involvement of the military on combating terrorism. The results of the study are (1) after the fall of New Order regime in 1998, the dual function of ABRI (Indonesian Armed Forces during Suharto's era) had dissolved, and this implied the limited authority of TNI to maintain the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) sovereignty at the border. The authority of the TNI on combating terrorism, following Act No.34, 2004 section 7 articles (3) about TNI, mentions that the fight against terrorism deals with criminal methods. Except for war aggression, related to terrorism that threatens the State sovereignty and not against terrorism that occurs in the community on the Anti-Terrorism Act. If TNI wants to be involved in combating terrorism, it must be following the 1945 constitution, of which terrorism is part of non-international armed conflict, in which the power of command is in the hands of the President.
Book Review: Editor: Al Khanif and Dina Tsalist Wildana ; Title: Kebebasan Beragama atau Berkeyakinan di Indonesia; Publisher: Intrans Publishing, 2020
Authors: Prasetyo Hery
Published: July 2021

The book entitled “Kebebasan Beragama atau Berkeyakinan di Indonesia: Perspektif Filosofis, Hukum dan Politik” explains the complexity of the rights of adherents of religion or beliefs in the era of democracy in Indonesia. What is important to note is whether there is freedom of religion or belief in Indonesia. Social scientists may find it difficult to determine the dimensions of freedom and obedience because in philosophy, for example, freedom and obedience are often contradicted as part of the existentiality of thought. However, in practice, especially in the context of the life of a nation-state, the discourse of freedom and obedience requires theoretical and empirical exploration to form a multicultural society. In this corridor, editors and book writers spread their knowledge as intellectuals and also as a form of taking sides on human rights issues. However, sociologically it should be noted that freedom is not a fixed social condition. The dynamics that accompany the emergence of religious adherents should be of public interest so that the knowledge of civil society are filled with emancipatory spirit. Yet in reality, the author actually finds the opposite condition, where the prerequisites for creating multiculturalism are far from democratic principles. Freedom is still framed legally formally and contradicted as if there is only one absolute truth. In this case, the argument that multiculturalism is a value worth fighting for actually becomes a barrier because diction has lost its supporting power. Not only because religious sentiment has developed into identity politics but also turned into a different imagination about Indonesia. Of course, the presence of this book is not intended to eliminate the current problems or even to emphasize the channels of difference. On the other hand, reading this book is a challenge to revive the spirit of multiculturalism with a frame of freedom that is a shared responsibility.

Published: July 2021

O presente texto tem como escopo evidenciar aspectos relevantes sobre a vida e a obra de Anísio Teixeira (1900-1971) e, sobretudo, investigar os momentos decisivos da sua biografia, suas motivações como educador, bem como os aspectos da sua apropriação das ideias de John Dewey e a atualidade das suas concepções para pensar a educação brasileira contemporânea. O aporte teórico está pautado em uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, a qual pode nos oferecer subsídios para compreendermos a trajetória do pensamento intelectual do autor para a realização de um projeto de educação brasileira. Anísio Teixeira foi um dos defensores de um movimento de entusiasmo pela educação e de um otimismo pedagógico, liderado pelos intelectuais que defendiam a expansão da escola pública, gratuita e laica. A mola propulsora da obra anisiana no campo da educação estava pautada na educação como um direito de todos, não apenas das elites e jamais como um privilégio para poucos. Esperamos que essa inspiração denominada aqui por ideia destemida ou talvez um sonho construído por ele possa nos impulsionar a acreditar em uma educação pública de fato igualitária, democrática e, sobretudo, de qualidade. Anísio Teixeira sonhou e, no seu sonho, viu uma escola eficiente para o povo brasileiro, e é com esse propósito que ainda lutamos por ela.

ANALYSIS OF PREGNANCY INTENSION RISK FACTORS IN INDONESIA WITH DEMOGRAPHIC HEALTH SURVEY (DHS) IN 2017
Authors: Luthfina Nida
Published: July 2021

The pregnancy intention can be divided into two, namely the desired pregnancy and unwanted pregnancy/Kehamilan Tidak Diinginkan (KTD). Unwanted pregnancy can cause negative impacts on the mother, such as not carrying out antenatal care (ANC) and abortion. Besides, babies born from KTD are more at risk of experiencing low birth weight and not getting breast milk/Air Susu Ibu (ASI) from their mothers. Therefore, the risk factors of pregnancy intention need to be known to prevent the incidence of KTD in Indonesia. This study analyzes the risk factors for pregnancy intention in Indonesia, such as maternal age, parity, sex of the baby born, mother's work status, education level, type of area of residence, family economy, and history of contraceptive use or family planning/Keluarga Berencana (KB). The research design was cross-sectional with analysis using logistic regression statistical tests. This study used secondary data from the 2017 Demographic Health Survey (DHS) with 14,778 subjects. The results of this analysis are the risk factors for pregnancy intention in Indonesia, namely the age of the mother (p-value = 0,000 and OR = 1.403), parity (p-value = 0,000 and OR = 2,860), the type of area of residence (p-value = 0,000 and OR = 1,518) and history of use of family planning (p-value = 0.000 and OR = 0.711). The risk of adverse events is greater in mothers aged <20 years and> 35 years, parity more than 3, residing in urban areas, and having a history of using family planning. There is no significant relationship between the sex of the baby, the mother's employment status, education level, and family economy on pregnancy intention.

The gas-dynamic parameters of an ionized medium formed during impact ionization of a rarefied gas by fast electrons are considered. The concentration, drift velocity, and specific energy of low-energy secondary electrons are constructed by an approximate solution of the kinetic equation. Approximations of the spatial homogeneity of the kinetic equation and the isotropy of the initial distribution of secondary electrons during impact ionization are used. Additional approximations are related to the structure of the distribution function of secondary electrons and averaging of the cross sections.
ENSURING PERMISSIBLE VOLTAGE LEVELS IN LOW-VOLTAGE NETWORKS IN THE DESIGN OF SOLAR POWER PLANTS FOR PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS
Authors: Bodunov Vadim
Published: July 2021

One way to stimulate the development of renewable energy is preferential electricity tariffs for businesses, electricity consumers, including energy cooperatives and private households, whose generators produce electricity from alternative energy sources. Such a state policy exists both in Ukraine (the "green tariff") and in other countries (Feed-in tariffs). The simplified connection mechanism of generating power of private households and the fast payback period of solar power plants have led to a rapid increase in the number of such facilities. The peculiarity of network photovoltaic installations of private households is that the investment is proportional, and sometimes even less than the cost of additional reconstruction, for example, to increase the capacity of the electrical network, so, as a rule, their connection to low voltage networks is carried out without any additional changes of intersections of power lines. At the same time, according to the Law of Ukraine on the Electricity Market, the connection of generating installations to consumers, including private households, should not lead to deterioration of regulatory parameters of electricity quality. Another feature of these objects is the almost complete lack of information about the parameters of the electrical network. In the absence of reliable information, it becomes necessary to develop approximate methods for estimating the allowable capacity of solar power plants of private households depending on the place of connection, the parameters of the modern low-quality distribution network and modes of its operation. The article proposes the use of the distribution network model in the form of a line with evenly distributed load from the solar power plants in the form of a concentrated load at the corresponding point of the line. The voltage distribution along the line is simulated when the power of the solar power plant and the place of its connection change. Analytical relations are obtained for the calculation of the solar power plants power limit values to ensure the admissibility of the mode parameters according to the voltage level when varying the solar power plant connection point. A method is proposed to maintain the allowable minimum voltage levels at the terminals of consumers in short-term congested sections of the network.

The payment system in economic transactions is experiencing rapid progress along with the development of sophisticated technology. Graha Sudirman is a housing located in Indramayu Regency, West Java. In the cash dues section of residents in the Graha Sudirman Indramayu housing, cash dues collection is still done conventionally by way of the coordinator collecting each resident's house and recording it through a cash book. However, the cash contributions that are collected are not transparent in the data on expenditures or the remaining balance, so that residents do not know the income and disbursements of cash contributions paid every month. This application is designed and implemented using the PHP programming language with MySQL, it can be concluded that with the Citizen Cash Contribution Monitoring application using a codeigniter framework it can help admins recap cash dues, expenses, remaining balances and can help coordinators be able to streamline their time in collecting cash contributions because In this application the coordinator only needs to verify cash contribution payments made by residents by transfer and make it easier for residents to make cash contribution payments, provide criticism and suggestions for housing, find out financial data such as cash contribution reports, and expense reports.

La necesidad de revisar la categoría jurídica (es decir: la naturaleza jurídica) con la que considerar a la Naturaleza para que, convertida en “sujeto de derecho”, participe de un nuevo contrato que dé las bases para un nuevo Constitucionalismo y Derecho público. A ese fin se examina en la teoría de la personalidad jurídica y en fuentes legislativas o jurisprudenciales ciertas bases para la re-construcción del sujeto. Finalmente se plantea como incidiría esa reformulación del pacto fundante en el Derecho administrativo, en particular, para enfrentar los riesgos a los que está sometida la Naturaleza.

This This research aims to determine fraud prevention from religiosity, protection whistleblower, and whistleblowing system perspectives. The population in this research was employees of PT Prudential Life Assurance. The population is taken without distinguishing gender, education, and work experience and taken from 43 as the total number of insurance employees. This study used saturated samples or census as the sampling technique, whereas all population employs as samples. The research data uses primary data obtained by researchers by giving questionnaires (structured questions) to insurance employees. The research analysis was conducted with multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that religiosity and whistleblower prevention did not affect fraud prevention. The absence of the effect of whistleblower protection on fraud prevention shows that the protection for whistleblowers is not yet adequate. The existence of intimidation, injustice and law enforcement are reasons why individuals are reluctant to become whistleblowers. However, whistleblowing intention affects fraud prevention. These findings indicate that human actions are influenced by their intentions, attitudes and subjective norms.

Este caso utiliza o contexto da economia criativa local, e apresenta os modos de gestão inerentes de duas organizações atuantes no segmento de cultura e de tecnologias de comunicação e informação, ambas demandando resoluções de problemas organizacionais pertinentes ao seu contexto de trabalho. Acionamos os conceitos de organizing como aprimoramento da teoria das organizações e gestão ordinária, propondo que os estudantes pensem em soluções para os problemas e especificidades enfrentados pelas organizações no dia a dia como limitações de recursos físicos, financeiros, operacionais e técnicos que permitam a manutenção e a sobrevivência das organizações atinentes as suas demandas gerenciais. Para a construção da narrativa, realizamos entrevista semiestruturada, observação participante e utilizamos dados públicos da secretaria municipal, possibilitando uma triangulação na coleta das informações. Esperamos desenvolver nos estudantes o processo de resoluções criativas para problemas que acontecem no cotidiano das organizações mediante diferentes formas de gestão no âmbito da economia criativa.
papel das associações comunitárias na promoção da confiança do cidadão em instituições públicas

Este estudo busca compreender como as associações comunitárias influenciam o desenvolvimento da confiança da população nas instituições públicas, na perspectiva de vários atores envolvidos e em quatro dimensões de análise: participação, percepção do papel das associações, dimensão política e democracia. As associações comunitárias, ao se tornarem mais ativas e mais próximas da realidade local, pressupõem a construção e o fortalecimento da confiança e dos mecanismos de cooperação e comunicação. A triangulação dos dados foi utilizada como estratégia metodológica, baseada em análise de documentos, entrevistas, observação direta e aplicação de questionários. Percebeu-se que não há alinhamento na compreensão do papel das associações de moradores por parte de cidadãos, gestores públicos e presidentes de associações. Observou-se também que a participação da comunidade nessas associações ainda é muito baixa, o que dificulta seu desempenho e sua capacidade de gerar capital social.

Published: July 2021

- Objetivo da pesquisa: Analisar se o índice de disclosure via website praticado por entidades sem fins lucrativos mostra-se alinhado à importância atribuída por doadores e gestores à divulgação voluntária de informações.

- Enquadramento teórico: Teoria da Divulgação.

- Metodologia: Foi construído um índice de disclosure (WDI) e aplicados questionários aos doadores e às entidades do projeto Clique Esperança, em Campo Grande/MS, a fim de examinar a percepção desses dois grupos acerca da importância da divulgação de informações.

- Resultados: Os achados evidenciam que o nível médio de divulgação de informações gerais é de 56,51%, de informações contábeis é de apenas 7,69% e o de informações de desempenho é de 19,23%, embora exista uma alta convergência entre as percepções de doadores e gestores sobre a importância dessas informações. Ainda, observou-se o alinhamento parcial entre essas percepções e os índices praticados, sendo alto o grau de alinhamento das informações gerais e baixo grau de alinhamento de informações contábeis e desempenho.

- Originalidade: Conciliação das percepções dos gestores e dos doadores sobre a importância da divulgação em websites.

- Contribuições teóricas e práticas: Aborda a interação entre doadores/doações e entidade/divulgação e também na otimização das práticas de divulgação de informações, reduzindo a assimetria informacional.
FINANCIAL POLICY IN THE SYSTEM OF STATE REGULATION OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY
Authors: Luchenok A.
Published: July 2021

The drawbacks of monetarist and fiscal definitions of the terms "finance", "financial system" and "financial policy" are revealed and the author's definitions of these concepts are theoretically s justified. The goal of financial policy is defined as ensuring sustainable balanced socio-economic development of the country based on economic incentives and harmonization of the economic interests of the main social macrogroups. One of the main objectives of financial policy is to ensure the financial stability of all sectors of the national economy (including the real one) while stimulating economic growth by supporting the domestic producer. The author's interpretation of the term "economic intermediaries" is given, which include economic agents that redistribute value added in their own interests to the detriment of the interests of the real sector of the economy.

Object of research: optimization of the operation period of bicarbonate columns by optimizing their design features.

Investigated problem: increasing the efficiency, environmental friendliness and duration of the bicarbonate columns by optimizing the design of the sludge discharge unit.

Main scientific results: the article analyzes the main design features of bicarbonate columns for the production of purified sodium bicarbonate. A relationship has been established between the design of the apparatus, the intensity of mixing and the duration of the apparatus operation without stopping for washing. On the basis of the existing problems, laboratory and industrial experiments were carried out at one of the soda plants, aimed at increasing the efficiency of operation of the bicarbonate columns of the purified sodium bicarbonate shop. So, due to the modernization of the design of the sludge unloading unit and the identification of the optimal amount and month of the location of the mesh trays, an increase of 1.5-2 times in the duration of operation of the columns without stopping for washing was achieved. This contributed to an increase in plant productivity and environmental friendliness of the process due to a decrease in the amount of liquid waste generated during the washing of the column equipment.

Area of practical use of the research results: enterprises for the production of purified sodium bicarbonate of food and pharmaceutical quality.

Innovative technological product: design solutions for bicarbonate columns and the technology of carbonization of soda-bicarbonate solution for the production of purified sodium bicarbonate.

Scope of application of the innovative technological product: soda production, food and pharmaceutical industries.
SOKKIE DANCING IN PRETORIA: POPULAR AFRIKAANS MUSIC, DANCE, AND IDENTITY
Authors: Holtzhausen Cornelius A.
Published: July 2021

Afrikaans protest music influenced by rock has received a substantial degree of academic attention in recent years. While significant, the emphasis on Afrikaans protest music has left Afrikaans pop music largely unexamined. As this genre enjoys wide popularity amongst Afrikaners, this article considers this lacuna in academic inquiry. Afrikaans pop music is widely consumed in South Africa and is a major part of its music industry. In this article, I bring into focus how a strand of music, that might seem to avoid meaningful dialogue through superficial lyrics, forms part of an Afrikaner subculture and a strategy to preserve identity, norms, and values. In particular, I argue for a wider contextual understanding of music and the limitations of lyrical analysis to produce meaningful insight into music’s role in enabling participants to negotiate identity and place. Drawing on fieldwork conducted at Presley’s, a night club in Pretoria, I elucidate this process through the dialogue between Afrikaans music and sokkie dance.
