The Impact of the Trickle Down Effect on the Program "Kampung Perikanan Budidaya" of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries on The Level of Community Welfare in Sebatuan Village Pemangkat District Sambas Regency
Authors:   Tanjungpura University, Mardhalena Azrita
Published: December 2023

This study aims to describe and analyze the impact of the trickle down effect of the program ”Kampung Perikanan Budidaya” in Sebatuan Village, Pemangkat District, Sambas Regency. Sebatuan Village, Pemangkat Subdistrict, Sambas Regency has a huge potential of marine and fisheries resources with a beach of approximately 60 Km and ponds covering an area of approximately 10,329 Ha, with a total of 10 (ten) ponds spread across 4 (four) hamlets of Sebatuan village. However, it did not have an impact on improving welfare and reducing poverty rates because until 2023 the number of poor people in Sebatuan village still amounted to 67%. The results showed that in general the program ”Kampung Perikanan Budidaya” is considered appropriate because it refers to an aquaculture program that can avoid fish extinction. However, homogenizing one type of fish in one village limits the potential of fish farming that can be developed. The existence of the program ”Kampung Perikanan Budidaya”in Sebatuan Village can increase the income of farmers, but it is inversely proportional to the income and welfare of the community as the location of aquaculture because instead of realizing local economic improvement and creating new economic sources in the fisheries sector in the local area, the program has the potential to cause new problems and conflicts for fish farmers with the surrounding community. Environmental analysis shows that environmental damage occurs due to the entry of aquaculture businesses in the form of waste generated from the process of cultivation activities affecting water quality. Based on these findings to minimize environmental damage, it is expected that the use of chemicals: such as antibiotics and pesticides is done in minimal quantities. It is expected that there is synergy between pond entrepreneurs and the surrounding community in realizing the aquaculture village as a trigger in the economic movement in the village, so that the development of the trickle down effect model can be a new role model for the success of empowerment programs.

This research aims to determine the extent to which the Islamic Boarding School Foundation implements and understands the preparation of Financial Reports properly in accordance with the Islamic Boarding School Accounting Guidelines in Southeast Sulawesi. The type of research used to conduct this research is a qualitative approach. The object of this research is located at the Hidayatullah Putra Kendari Islamic boarding school and the Gontor Putri Islamic boarding school in South Konawe, Wushulul Fawwaz Islamic Boarding School Kendari. Data collection was carried out through field surveys using interviews and documentation. The results of this research indicate that the application of financial reports based on the Islamic Boarding School Accounting Guidelines has not been applied to Islamic Boarding School financial reports. This is because there are obstacles experienced by Islamic boarding schools, namely a lack of human resources who are still in the process of understanding financial reports and a lack of understanding of accounting standards or Islamic Boarding School Accounting Guidelines, so that the implementation carried out is still not fully in accordance with standards.

The use of various electronic payment media found an unexpected momentum when the world experienced the COVID-19 pandemic. The public's usage of electronic payment media has increased, contributing to social limitations because shopping may be done remotely via mobile devices or other remote access. The purpose of this research is to analyze the differences in transactions of Payment Using Cards and Electronic Money in Indonesia before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The data source is the Central Bank's Indonesian Banking Statistics, with monthly data ranging from January 2018 to August 2023. The data set covers the quantity, volume, and value of ATM/Debit Card transactions, as well as hypothesis testing using the Mann-Whitney U Test. All retail payment instruments, notably ATM/Debit Cards, Credit Cards, and Electronic Money, saw a significant decline during the beginning of the pandemic but thereafter experienced an increase in transaction volume and value. After the pandemic, the average number, volume, and value of ATM/Debit Card, Credit Card, and Electronic Money transactions increased significantly compared to before the pandemic. The development of electronic payments in Indonesia after the pandemic is empirical evidence that a less-cash society in Indonesia has been formed and has progressively grown in the last five years.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Many ocular diseases have their origin in early childhood and if the morbidity goes unnoticed it may adversely affect the child’s school performance and may also cause severe ocular disability in the later part of life. An early recognition and intervention leads to lifelong impact. Objective: To study the prevalence and pattern of various ocular morbidities in school going children of urban and rural areas of Aligarh. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out from October 2017 to July 2019 in 10 schools in Aligarh, a district in North Western UP. Schools from urban and rural areas were listed and 5 urban and 5 rural schools were selected by lottery method. Results: Of the total 9982 students enrolled in study, 5742 children were from urban schools, and 4240 children were from rural schools. A total 2189 students were found to be suffering from various ocular morbidities, yielding an overall prevalence of ocular morbidity of 21.93%. The prevalence in urban and rural schools was 22.41% and 21.27% respectively (P=.286). Refractive error was found to be the most common ocular morbidity followed by Vitamin A Deficiency. Conclusion: Refractive errors and Vitamin A deficiency were the most common ocular disorders identified which are preventable and treatable causes of childhood blindness. These conditions can be easily identified by regular eye screening programs and promptly corrected. Awareness among school teachers should also be improved and they should play an active role in identifying the ocular problems and referring them for timely management.

Proteus mirabilis is a common cause of urinary tract infections and other nosocomial infections that can lead to severe health consequences. Despite the availability of various antibiotics, the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Proteus mirabilis has necessitated the development of novel therapeutic compounds. The ability of species to produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites, such as antibiotics Streptomyces, immunosuppressants, and antivirals, is well known. In this study, a Streptomyces strain was isolated from soil near saltwater bodies, and its secondary metabolic extract was evaluated for its antimicrobial activity against Proteus mirabilis. The Streptomyces isolate demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity for Proteus mirabilis, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 34 µg/mL. The antimicrobial potential of the extract was confirmed through additional examination of the metabolite extract using deterministic assays, such as nucleic acid and protein release and time-kill curve assay. Molecular identification of the Streptomyces strain showed similarity with Streptomyces triticirhizae. GC-MS analysis of the extract revealed the presence of compounds such as Octadecanoic acid and n-Hexadecanoic acid, which are frequently associated with potent antimicrobial activity. HR-LCMS analysis revealed the presence of compounds such as Neomycin, Polymyxin B, and Maculosin, which also have potent antimicrobial activity. These findings strongly indicate the potential of the Streptomyces metabolite extracts as a novel therapeutic compound against Proteus mirabilis.

The web interface uses Springboot for Java, while the mobile interface uses React Native for cross-platform applications. The system communicates through rest services and is validated using statistical analysis. The paper also translates authentic Hadith from Arabic to Malay language.
Melanchthon et la théologie médiévale. Sagesse mystique, doctrine scolastique et Parole de Dieu
Authors: Huiban Arthur
Published: December 2023

Si la recherche sur Luther a consacré plusieurs études d’ampleur à la question des héritages médiévaux du Réformateur, il n’en va pas de même pour la recherche sur Philippe Melanchthon. Pourtant, les Loci communes fourmillent, dès la première édition publiée en 1521, de références variées aux « docteurs scolastiques », avec des focalisations parfois différentes de celles de Luther à la même date. L’idée que Melanchthon se fait de la théologie médiévale est-elle pour autant originale ? L’apparente radicalité de son rejet de la « scolastique », dans les écrits des années 1520, ne dissimule-t-elle pas, en réalité, d’importantes influences souterraines ? Et quelles sont les sources médiévales privilégiées de l’humaniste ? Cette étude tente de répondre à ces questions en interrogeant, en particulier à partir du concept d’imputation, les liens de Melanchthon avec la tradition scotiste et occamiste, autour des doctrines de la justification et du péché originel, de 1520 à 1535 environ.
Navigating the Emotional Classroom: How experience shapes educators' anxiety and self-worth
Authors: Rus Mihaela , Neculai Camelia , Sandu Mihaela Luminița , Tănase Tasențe
Published: December 2023

Most of the teaching staff agrees that traits such as "personality" or "mental integrity", along with behavioral manifestations, show substantial significance in the context of the classroom; some of them might even argue that these character attributes have a higher relevance than competence in the specialized field or teaching skills themselves. When an educator experiences failures, they are often attributed to inadequacies of a personal nature, including but not limited to suboptimal empathy, excessive or insufficient enthusiasm, or, as appropriate, excessive authoritarianism, inflexibility, or, conversely, excessive permissiveness. The sphere of stress, tension and anxiety, respectively, within the teaching body is configured as a compartment of the personality and mental health of teachers, which has been almost neglected from a cause-effect relationship perspective. Many postgraduate protagonists went to great lengths to emphasize that dealing with and managing anxiety turned out to be experiences of exceptional significance in the context of their subsequent professional work. A substantial segment of this population showed a strong inclination towards careful consideration of anxiety as a central theme in the educational sphere. As a comprehensive entity, frequently accompanied by an implicit nuance or predispositional character (ie, acting as an internal cause of manifested behavior), anxiety lends itself to multiple operational definitions. The prevalence of various forms of emotional maladjustment, especially anxiety, among the teaching staff has been a subject of sustained research since the first decades of this century. Self-esteem is a trait dedicated to the individual characteristic affective evaluation of one's own person. It is assumed that the level of self-efficacy of the teaching staff is influenced by the degree of self-esteem they show. Thus, the hypothesis is drawn that self-esteem plays an essential role in the academic itinerary of the teachers. A positive self-evaluation intrinsically facilitates the individual's professional development, translated into visible and consistent performance over the relevant time period.

Association of Diastasis Recti Abdominis with Pelvic Floor Muscle Strenth and Urine Incontinence in Gynecological Population
Authors: Mateen Abdul , Amanat Rukhsar , Ali Haider , Khalid Hurab , Ali Akram , Rehman Ayesha , Khaliq Samia
Published: December 2023

Purpose: Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) denotes an anomalous separation of the rectus muscles throughout their longitudinal axis, devoid of fascial irregularities. The current study sought to determine the prevalence of DRA and its potential association with pelvic floor muscular strength and urinary incontinence in the gynaecological population of Faisalabad. This was a cross-sectional study.

Materials and Methods: A Convenient sampling technique was used for collecting data. A sample of 100 females from government hospitals of Faisalabad was taken. Study was conducted in Faisalabad from February 2018 to May 2018. Inclusion criteria of the research was, immediate postpartum ladies, females aged 18 to menopausal age, and females who had normal vaginal birth. Manometric techniques were employed to quantify the strength of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMS), with outcomes represented in cmH2O. The incidence of urinary incontinence (UI) was ascertained by querying patients regarding any manifestations postpartum. The extent of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) was gauged utilizing fingerbreadth assessments of the rectus abdominis muscles. This particular measurement spanned a distance of 4.5 cm both superior and inferior to the umbilicus, aligned with the linea alba.

Findings: Results were analyzed through SPSS version 26. Diastasis recti abdominis was found to be present in 57% of the females. 7% of the women had very weak pelvic floor muscle, 38% had weak, 50% had moderate strength and 5% had good strength of pelvic floor muscles. Out of 100, urine incontinence was found in 59% females. There was no statistically significant correlation observed between diastasis recti abdominis muscle and either urinary incontinence or pelvic floor muscle strength, with a p-value exceeding 0.05.

Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Incorporate routine DRAM screening for postpartum gynecological patients. Educate women about DRAM, its risk factors, and prevention strategies. Promote postpartum exercises and physical therapy to strengthen abdominal muscles and pelvic floor. Provide nutritional counseling to address obesity, a risk factor for DRAM. Implement a multidisciplinary approach involving gynecologists, physiotherapists, and nutritionists. Conduct additional research on the long-term consequences of DRAM and effective interventions. Conduct awareness campaigns targeting both healthcare providers and the public to increase DRAM awareness.

DEFINING PRINCIPAL EFFECTIVENESS: MEASURING THE VALUE OF EFFECTIVE PRINCIPALS USING THE PRINCIPAL EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION RUBRIC
Authors:   Teacher Education, Texas Woman’s University, U S A, Burkett Jerry  Burkett
Published: December 2023

The evaluation of a campus principal can be a challenging process due largely to the complicated factors that exist to capture an accurate assessment of a principal’s leadership effectiveness. Generally, principal evaluations are conducted by district-level officials who often do not have the time or the resources to observe campus principals on a regular basis. Further, principal evaluation systems (PES) are designed to improve the practice of principals (Clifford & Ross, 2012; Davis, Kearney, Sanders, Thomas, & Leon, 2011; Fuller & Hollinsworth, 2014a; Fuller, et al., 2015), and there has historically been an acknowledgement that these evaluations do not always achieve this purpose. Therefore, the overarching purpose of an evaluation is to use defensible criteria to judge the worth or merit of a principal. Critical to this definition is “defensible criteria” as the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation (Gullickson & Howard, 2009) recommends that personnel evaluations should rely on defensible criteria to ensure such evaluations are “ethical, fair, useful, feasible, and accurate”. The Principal Effectiveness Evaluation Rubric is designed to evaluate the various themes found in the literature to help determine set criteria that is most used to measure principal effectiveness.

Essas doenças devem ser cuidadas por Unidade de Saúde dinâmica integrada com a Universidade. Descrevem-se a estrutura e o funcionamento de Unidade desse tipo.
A artrite na reação hansênica

Published: December 2023

Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo de 21 pacientes com hanseníase virchowiana internados no Hospital "Lauro de Souza Lima" (Bauru — SP) com a finalidade de descrever, do ponto de vista clinico evolutivo, a artrite que acompanha a reação tipo eritema nodoso ou polimorfo (artrite reacional), e procurar estabelecer diagnóstico diferencial com várias doenças reumáticas. A artrite reacional pode preceder, acompanhar ou suceder as lesões de eritema nodoso ou polimorfo, mas em quase metade dos casos elas estão ausentes. A artrite geralmente tem inicio agudo e pode ser monoarticular, oligoarticular e poliarticular, simétrica ou não, ocorrendo com certa freqüência recorrências do quadro articular. Artralgias, sintomas gerais, hepatoesplenomegalia, adenomegalia dolorosa, neurites e outras manifestações clinicas podem ser observadas. Os quadros laboratorial e radiológico não foram específicos. O estudo evolutivo (máximo de seguimento — 30 meses) mostrou serem comuns as recidivas das manifestações articulares com tendência a que as lesões de eritema nodoso se tornem mais discretas ou não mais acompanhem a artrite. Em nenhum caso houve persistência das manifestações articulares e também não acarretaram seqüelas. E discutido o diagnóstico diferencial com gota, artrites traumáticas, sépticas, osteomielite, artrose, anemia falciforme, febre reumática e doenças difusas do tecido conectivo. realçada a necessidade de, em todo estudo de comprometimento articular na hanseniase, ser afastada a possibilidade de associação desta com doenças reumáticas e da obrigatorie- dade da artrite reacional ser lembrada no diagnóstico diferencial de várias afecções reumáticas.

Modificação da coloração de fundo da técnica de Ziehl-Neelsen Na identificação do Mycobacterium leprae
Authors: SIQUEIRA Luiz Fernando de Góes , ALMEIDA Regina Gomes de , BELDA Walter
Published: December 2023

A identificação do M. leprae, em material obtido de lesões cutâneas de pacientes suspeitos ou doentes de hanseniase, é fundamental nas atividades de controle da endemia. E feita com coloração da linfa proveniente das lesões, espalhada em lâmina, pelo método de Ziehl-Neelsen. Dada a escassez de muco nas preparações rotineiras a técnica teve de ser modificada com alcalinização prévia do azul de metileno. Tal modificação,embora melhorando as possibilidades de uso do Ziehl-Neelsen, apresenta inconvenientes de ordem prática, como os decorrentes da metacromasia e precipitação do corante. A coloração de fundo se apresenta, então, arroxeada, dificultando a visualização do bacilo corado em vermelho. A precipitação  reduz o tempo de uso do corante. Os autores, após demonstrar tais inconvenientes, propõem alteração técnica denominada de "alcalinização concomitante" que, basicamente, consiste em adicionar poucas gotas de solução de hidróxido de sódio, a 1:500, sobre a coloração clássica, no momento de sua execução. Obtém-se assim: a) maior tempo de uso do corante; b) ausência de precipitado em lâmina; c) evidenciação mais fácil do substrato; d) contraste maior entre o substrato e a coloração do bacilo. Recomendam o uso da variante técnica proposta na rotina, principalmente nas preparações com material escasso ou de controle terapêutico.
In vitro effect of Mycobacterium Leprae suspensions on the polymorphonuclear neutrophiles function of hanseníasis patients to candida albicans and Candida pseudotropicalis
Authors: FLIESS Enrique L , FRANCESCHINI Gabriela , ORTIZ Maria C.
Published: December 2023

The in vitro effect of Mycobacterium Ieprae suspensions on the PMN hability to phagocyting and killing Candida albicans and Candida pseudotropicalls was studied in forty-five patients of Hansen's disease and in fifteen healthy controls. Our results show no significative differences between the different studied groups, both for the phagocytosis and for the lysis of yeasts. There was no significant changes in the mean values of these functions after previous or simultaneously incubation with Mycobacterium Ieprae suspensions. Those observations confirmed that there are not alterations in the enzimatic battery of PMN in Hansen's disease patients and that the Mycobacterium Ieprae presence does not exert stimulating effect on this in vitro model.
Psicotrópicos y Farmacogenética
Authors: Piedimonte Leandro , Flores Helguero Daniela
Published: December 2023

La enfermedad mental representa un importante asunto de salud tanto en el plano individual como socioeconómico. Esto se debe en parte a las subóptimas opciones de tratamiento en la actualidad: los fármacos psicotrópicos existentes, incluyendo antidepresivos, antipsicóticos y estabilizadores del estado de ánimo son efectivos sólo en un grupo de pacientes o producen respuestas parciales y se encuentran usualmente asociados con efectos adversos discapacitantes que desalientan la adherencia. La farmacogenética estudia cómo la información genética impacta en la respuesta a drogas y sus efectos adversos, con el objetivo de proveer tratamientos personalizados, maximizando así la eficacia y tolerancia. Los primeros estudios farmacogenéticos se focalizaron en genes candidatos, conocidos previamente como relevantes para la farmacocinética y farmacodinamia de medicamentos psicotrópicos. Los resultados no fueron conclusivos. Pero algunos candidatos replicados fueron identificados e incluidos como biomarcadores farmacogenéticos en el etiquetado de medicamentos y en algunos kits comerciales. Con el advenimiento de la revolución genómica, se hizo posible estudiar la variación genética en una escala sin precedentes, a lo largo de todo el genoma sin necesidad de hipótesis a priori. Esto podría conducir a la prescripción personalizada de las medicaciones existentes, gracias a nuevos conocimientos sobre la genética de la enfermedad mental. Se lograron hallazgos prometedores, pero los métodos para la generación y análisis de datos genómicos y de secuenciación aún están en evolución. Las futuras pruebas farmacogenéticas pueden consistir en cientos / miles de polimorfismos a lo largo del genoma o vías moleculares seleccionadas para tener en cuenta las complejas interacciones entre variantes de diversos genes.

The paper investigated the level of financial inclusion among micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Southwest, Nigeria. Ex post facto research design was adopted in the study. The population of this survey consisted of MSMEs and Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in the study area. Using Cochran's sample size estimation method, the sample sizes for MSMEs and DMBs were 666 and 498 respectively. A multistage sampling technique was used while data were collected through the use of structured questionnaire. Using descriptive analysis, data were analysed with the use of ranges, percentages and relative frequency tables. The study revealed that that 34.7% of the respondents were aware of their access to loans from their banks whereas, only 27.3% had applied for such loans. This shows that the number of respondents who were aware and applied for loan was low. Out of the number that applied for loans from the banks, 23.4% had their loans approved and utilized. This suggests that majority of the MSMEs’ needs in terms of loan facilities could not be adequately catered for by the DMBs, partly due to lack of awareness, not having current accounts, relatively few applications for loans, as well as collateral requirements and other stringent conditionalities. Therefore, the study recommended that DMBs should relax account opening procedures and loan requirements for MSMEs, while the Central Bank of Nigeria and Bankers Committee should step up enlightenment campaigns for MSMEs, with a view to fast-tracking MSMEs growth in the study area.
