Published: April 2024

This research discusses the central role of Tuan Guru in the social revolution movement of Sasak people against colonialism in Lombok island in the 19th century. This research was combined research (blended research) in qualitative research and used social movement theory as a collective action that offers change or resistance to bring about new life. The Sasak social revolution movement was motivated by the prolonged commonality of the fate suffered by the annexation of local and global colonialism-imperialism. The central role of Tuan Guru in the social revolution movement of Sasak people in the 19th century in Lombok began with the unification of social stratification between the ruling aristocratic group and the ruling non-aristocratic group, bound by a specific fraternity, the fraternal brotherhood (shufi brotherhood). The religious fraternity which transformed into tarekat communities in Lombok, especially Tarekat Naqsyabandiyah Congregation and Qadiriyah wa Naqsyabandiyah reconstructed themselves into a religio-political system in moving social revolution against colonialism which gave birth to rebellions and tyranny which contradicted Islamic doctrine in general and the teaching of tarekat in a religious way special.

Authors: Didi La , Asmiddin Asmiddin
Published: April 2024

The provision of non-cash food assistance in Baubau City has faced critical challenges due to mismanagement, resulting in eligible individuals not receiving their entitled benefits and the failure of the assistance program to effectively enhance the community's welfare. These issues can be primarily attributed to poor governance practices. In this study, we aim to investigate the governance of non-cash food assistance in Baubau City, focusing on three key dimensions: accountability, transparency, and community participation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through interviews with relevant stakeholders, selected through purposive sampling, as well as observations of beneficiary community groups and an analysis of program documents related to non-cash food assistance. The research findings highlight significant shortcomings in the governance of the program, particularly in terms of accountability, transparency, and community engagement. These issues underscore the urgent need for improved governance practices to ensure that non-cash food assistance effectively contributes to the prosperity and self-sufficiency of the communities it serves.

Published: April 2024

Community empowerment is one of the solutions to overcome the problem of poverty in an area. Community empowerment can be carried out by utilizing local potential and developing aspects and social capital. Based on the theory of the poverty circle, several factors cause poverty, including income levels, education levels, and the amount of consumption. Ponorogo Regency is one of the top 10 food support districts in East Java, with progress in the agricultural sector capable of supporting regional food security. However, many underprivileged residents have a poverty rate 2022 of 9.32% of the total population. Based on these facts, this study aims to reveal the relationship between social capital, education level, and income level in Ponorogo Regency. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis with independent variables (Xn), including the level of public education (X1) and human capital (X2), as well as the dependent variable (Y), namely the level of welfare of the people of Ponorogo Regency. The analysis results show that in Ponorogo Regency, there is a correlation between social capital and the level of education and community welfare. The level of social welfare is influenced by education and human capital. The higher the education level and human capital, the higher the social welfare and social capital formed. The development of social capital in networks at the educational level of Ponorogo Regency is very closely related, especially to participation in the religious field. Likewise, the relationship with norms on social capital in which the community has no tendency for a certain level of education related to the desire to implement applicable norms. However, participation in traditional activities has a closer relationship only at the elementary to secondary education level. The analysis results also show that the people of Ponorogo Regency with any income level have a close relationship with all elements of social capital, namely trust, social networks, and norms. Low-income people are associated with an increase in social class.

Published: April 2024

Salang pinjam had been carried out by many Minangkabaunese before the arrival of the Dutch colonialists. The presence of the Dutch colonialists shifted the tradition of salang pinjam into pagang gadai (pawn) as part of the Devide et Impera politics which aimed at breaking up the unity of Minangkabau people. The transition from the concept of salang pinjam to gadai (pawning), apart from not being in accordance with Islamic teachings, also often causes disputes in the communities. Even so, in several Minangkabau areas the tradition of salang pinajm still survives to ensure the continuity of religious-based customs, including in Paninjauan Village, Tanah Datar regency. This study was conducted to describe the concept of salang pinjam and how it differs from the Dutch version of pawning. This research is field research with the data sources obtained from Paninjauan Village’s community leaders and parties who have carried out salang pinjam. The data were collected through direct interviews with informants, then classified according to the questioned-themes. Then, the data were analyzed descriptively. This study concluded that the essence of salang pinjam is borrowing from each other, one party borrows money or gold and the other party borrows land or rice fields. Based on Islamic teachings, this transaction does not violate Islamic rules and will not cause any disputes. This is different from pawnshops regulated by the Dutch Colonial by which borrowing money must be accompanied by collateral in the form of land, and this way becomes a source of problems for two reasons; first, it is contrary to Islamic teachings because it utilizes collateral assets; and second, the collateral must be returned to the borrower after seven years without compensation, and in reality the community is not willing to just return it unless the borrowers must return the money they have borrowed.

Authors: Manalu Vigory Gloriman , Rahimi Faishal , Akbar Ilham
Published: April 2024

MSMEs have become the foundation for growth in various countries, including Indonesia. Especially in West Java, MSMEs play an essential role in absorbing labour. However, MSMEs in West Java face an uncertain business environment and difficulties in creating products that suit market needs. This research will use the Resource Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capability View (DCV) theories. This research examines the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on the innovation performance of MSMEs by using foresight capabilities as a mediating variable. 245 MSMEs were collected as respondents to fill out the survey questionnaire. The MSMEs used in this research are from West Java, with the main characteristics of operating for more than one year and developing new products for at least two years. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the research framework. It was found that entrepreneurial orientation can influence the innovation performance of MSMEs positively and significantly. The influence of foresight capabilities on MSME product innovation performance has a positive effect. The mediating effect of foresight capabilities on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and product innovation performance was partially mediated. MSMEs that behave more entrepreneurially benefit from being more proactive, innovative, and risk-taking in an uncertain market environment. Product innovation can be achieved through a good understanding of entrepreneurial orientation mediated by an understanding of Foresight to process information for future decisions. Finally, managerial and theoretical implications and future research are presented.

Authors: Silina E. V. , Manturova N. E. , Erokhina A. G. , Shatokhina E. A. , Stupin V. A.
Published: April 2024

Objective: to analyze data on the synthesis and properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles, as well as the prospects of its application in regenerative medicine for wound healing. Methodology. World literature was reviewed using PubMed, SCOPUS, ResearchGate, CyberLeninck, and Elibrary databases, as well as manual searches for authors and reference lists. Key search terms were «cerium oxide» AND nano* AND (healing OR regeneration OR repair) AND wound». The timeline was from the date of publication through August 2023. Results. The final analysis included 59 sources containing information on the synthesis and size of nanoparticles (and/or other physicochemical characteristics), methodology and results of in vivo and in vitro studies on the efficacy and/or safety of nanoceria for wound regeneration. It is shown that despite the progressive growth of research interest over the last 15 years, the actual use of nanoceria in practical medicine is still not widespread. This is due to a wide variety of non-standardized synthesis methods and conditions, resulting in the variability of physicochemical parameters of nanoparticles (size, form), thereby affecting the safety and biomedical efficacy of nanoceria. Regeneration mechanisms, including the antioxidant-prooxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects of nanoceria, which contribute to accelerated wound healing, are discussed. The severity of the regenerative effects depends on the method and conditions of synthesis, hence the resulting physicochemical characteristics of the nanoparticles. Therefore, after each batch, newly synthesized nanoceria needs physicochemical and biomedical experimental tests. Conclusion. Nanoceria has great potential in tissue engineering for regenerative medicine, particularly for healing of various kinds of wounds. Having developed a technology for standardized synthesis for effective and safe nanoceria (of the right form and size) on a production scale, it can be introduced in medicine, possibly improving the outcomes of treatment of many diseases and pathologies. The authors present conclusions on the results of the study of nanoceria for accelerating qualitative regeneration and the requirements for nanoparticles obtained during synthesis.

Authors: Shankari N. , Kudva Vidya , Hegde Roopa B.
Published: April 2024

Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality among women, both in India and globally. The prevalence of breast masses is notably common in women aged 20 to 60. These breast masses are classified, according to the breast imaging-reporting and data systems (BI-RADS) standard, into categories such as fibroadenoma, breast cysts, benign, and malignant masses. To aid in the diagnosis of breast disorders, imaging plays a vital role, with mammography being the most widely used modality for detecting breast abnormalities over the years. However, the process of identifying breast diseases through mammograms can be time-consuming, requiring experienced radiologists to review a significant volume of images. Early detection of breast masses is crucial for effective disease management, ultimately reducing mortality rates. To address this challenge, advancements in image processing techniques, specifically utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), have tiled the way for the development of decision support systems. These systems assist radiologists in the accurate identification and classification of breast disorders. This paper presents a review of various studies where diverse machine learning approaches have been applied to digital mammograms. These approaches aim to identify breast masses and classify them into distinct subclasses such as normal, benign and malignant. Additionally, the paper highlights both the advantages and limitations of existing techniques, offering valuable insights for the benefit of future research endeavors in this critical area of medical imaging and breast health.

Authors: Krishna Prasad T , Ajit Kumar Kayal , Kavin Adhithya , Balu Sankar
Published: April 2024

Obese patients had more difficulty with tracheal intubation and a higher incidence of post-extubation stridor. Obesity is such a ubiquitous issue in our culture, and it is a significant risk factor for many diseases, thus it is not surprising that many obese patients are treated in ICU. The objective of this article is to explore challenges for short, obese patients (Little’s) in the critical care setting. Obese patients have a strong correlation between lung function and body fat distribution, with greater impairment when fat accumulates in the chest and abdomen. Mediastinal masses, particularly those located in the anterior mediastinum, can cause perioperative morbidity and mortality by causing major airway and vascular compression, which may be exacerbated under general anesthesia.

Emotion as the Foundation of Morality: An Interpretation on Mencius’ Theory of ‘Four Beginngs’
Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Moral Education, Shin Chun-Ho
Published: April 2024

Mencius’ theory of ‘Four Beginnings’(四端) provides the main and central ideas to theory of mind and cultivation of confucianism. He clearly argued the ‘Four Beginnings’, especially among them, ‘feeling of commiseration’(惻隱之心) is the first and innermost foundation of moral achievements and virtues. Today, ‘feeling of commiseration’ is usually translated into ‘compassion’ or ‘sympathy’, and regarded at best one of the so-called ‘moral emotions’, but it is to be the foundation of morality as Mencius argued, it should have a special status that is distincted from ordinary emotion or feeling.
The idea of ‘foundational emotion(mood)’, in Heidgger’s thoughts, can provides the analytical understanding on the status of Mencius’ ‘feeling of commiseration’. This emotion is not the one of ordinary emotions which are aroused by outer thing’s affectation, but the deeply rooted in mind in itself, or rather, by itself, the essential component of mind. In this perspective, ‘feeling of commiseration’ is the one and the same thing of Mencius’ ‘mind of benevolence and rightness’(仁義之心), ‘mind of goodness’(良心). As the ‘foundational emotion’, Mencius’ ‘feeling of commiseration’ presents the ideal type of human mind that self-cultivation(moral education) should pursue.

Authors: Kruglov Igor Yu. , Rumyantsev Nicolai Yu. , Omarov Gamzat G. , Smirnov Sergey S. , Kagantsov Ilya M.
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Congenital knee dislocation is a significant topic of interest in the possible application of new reduction techniques immediately after birth. This initiative aims to minimize the consequences of dislocation, ensuring the possibility of normal joint formation and functioning from the very first stages of life. This is not only a technical achievement but also an approach to providing optimal conditions for the health and development of children with congenital knee dislocation.
AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the functional and long-term treatment outcomes of congenital knee dislocation using a new patented method.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 120 patients (194 knees) with congenital knee dislocation were examined. The patients were divided into the main group (55 patients, 90 knee joints) and the control group (65 patients, 104 knee joints). The main group received the treatment developed by the authors using an Ergopower ER 7028 vibration massager. In the control group, the traditional method of orthopedic correction of congenital knee dislocation using a Von Rosen splint and circular plaster casts was employed. At the start of treatment, the age of the patients in the main group was Me 28 [Q1 28; Q3 30] hours and that of the control group was Me 30 [Q1 28; Q3 34.5] hours.
RESULTS: A comparative analysis of the treatment outcomes of the main and control groups showed that the developed method for correcting congenital knee dislocation using a vibration massager and careful manipulations, in contrast to traditional technology, achieved the most accurate orthopedic correction in 95% of cases, ensured the restoration of the axial profile of the knee joint and its stability, and created conditions for the harmonious growth and development of the lower extremities in adulthood. In the main group, after conservative treatment of congenital knee dislocation using improved technology, indicators for assessing knee joint function (66.7%) and pain relief (98.2%) were excellent after 5 years of observation, which was confirmed by data from a clinical study and use of specialized questionnaires.
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed innovative method of conservative orthopedic correction of congenital knee dislocation by vibrovascularization of the thigh muscles is a differentiated approach to conservative treatment, which improved the overall and long-term treatment outcomes.

Wzorzec osobowy oficera Polski Ludowej versus wzorzec osobowy oficera II Rzeczypospolitej. Studium porównawcze
Authors: Świderska-Włodarczyk Urszula
Published: April 2024

Za podstawę porównania wzorca oficera II Rzeczypospolitej i oficera Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej przyjęto system aksjologiczny obu badanych okresów. Całość narracji oparto na autorskim modelu wzorców osobowych, złożonych z czterech komponentów: uwarunkowań genealogicznych, osobowościowych, profesjonalnych i społecznych. Zestawienie tych komponentów na tle przedwojnia i powojnia przełożyło się na efekt końcowy w postaci dwóch przeciwstawnych portretów idealnego oficera. W pierwszym górę brały takie wartości jak elitaryzm urodzenia i wykształcenia, doskonałość osobowościowa oparta na cnotach religijnych i świeckich, imperatyw walki za niepodległość ojczyzny łącznie z gotowością ofiary życia, przy zachowaniu apolityczności, najwyższej próby patriotyzmu i  związku z Kościołem. Drugi wzorzec cechował egalitaryzm, moralność socjalistyczna, imperatyw walki o zachowanie ustroju i sojuszu, skrajne upolitycznienie i ateistyczne postawy. Mimo kolejnych zmian ustrojowych każdy z nich pozostaje w jakimś stopniu obecny  we współczesnej rzeczywistości.

Published: April 2024

Medicinal plants are the resource of traditional medicines and modern medicine is also developed indirectly from plants. In traditional medicinal practices such as Ayurveda and Unani, Diospyros paniculata has been recognised for its medicinal properties. Different parts of the plant, including the leaves, bark, fruits, and seeds, are utilised to prepare various herbal remedies and these species show a richness of triterpenoids, naphthoquinones and naphthaldehydes which majorly contribute to the anticancer activity. D. paniculata bark was extracted with methanol and fractionated by low-polar to high-polar solvents. In-vitro cytotoxic activity of each solvent fraction was studied on the MCF-7 (Human Adenocarcinoma) cell line by MTT assay. The ethyl acetate fraction shows a significant IC50 value of 23.47 µg/ml which might be due to the presence of principal compounds in the fraction. Methanol fraction showed a moderate IC50 value. To isolate chemicals, the chloroform fraction underwent column chromatography. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy), and 13C NMR were used to characterise the isolated chemicals. Two compounds were isolated from chloroform fraction identified as Betulin and Lupeol.
Exploring the Antimicrobial Efficacy of Panchavalkala Kwatha and Arka: A Comprehensive Study
Authors: G. Harikrishnan  , Mohan Shara , Arunmohanan  , N. V. Ramesh  , E. N. Prajeesh Nath
Published: April 2024

Panchavalkala, a combination of five tree barks, is significant in Ayurvedic formulations as an individual ingredient and in composite preparations. These five barks are Vata (Ficus bengalensis L.), Udumbara (Ficus glomerata Roxb.), Ashwatha (Ficus religiosa L.), Parisha (Thespesia populanea Soland. ex-Correa.), and Plaksha (Ficus lacor Buch-Ham.). As per Ayurveda, Panchavalkala Kwatha has vrana ropana (wound healing) properties and is also known for its diverse properties encompassing antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antimicrobial attributes, rendering it valuable for wound purification and healing. This study aims to investigate the antimicrobial potential of Panchavalkala Kwatha (PVK) while validating its ancient Ayurvedic significance in wound healing. The study involves meticulously preparing Panchavalkala Kwatha and Panchavalkala Arka. Panchavalkala Kwatha is meticulously prepared by the guidelines stipulated in Sharangadhara Samhita, while Panchavalkala Arka (PVA) follows the principles outlined in Arka Prakasha. The antimicrobial activity of Panchavalkala Kwatha and Panchavalkala Arka was assessed using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus through the well-diffusion assay. Panchavalkala Kwatha exhibits a substantial zone of inhibition measuring 25 mm against E. coli and 28 mm against S. aureus. This antimicrobial efficacy is comparable to Ciprofloxacin’s, signifying potent antimicrobial activity. In contrast, Panchavalkala Arka shows no inhibitory effect on microbial growth. These results underscore the robust antibacterial activity of Panchavalkala Kwatha against both E. coli and S. aureus, while Panchavalkala Arka remains inert. This research furnishes primary evidence supporting the antibacterial properties of Panchavalkala Kwatha against E. coli and S. aureus. These findings suggest the potential utility of this Ayurvedic formulation in expediting wound healing processes.
Development and Characterization of Charantin Loaded Transferosomes based Transdermal Formulation: An Effective and Patient Friendly Way for Diabetes Management
Authors: Singh Kamaldeep , Sharma Vijay
Published: April 2024

Transferosomes, marvels of scientific ingenuity, represent exquisitely optimized and ultra- deformable (ultra-flexible) lipid supramolecular aggregates, uniquely capable of traversing the mammalian skin intact. These remarkable carrier systems have harnessed the power of transdermal delivery, enabling the transport of drugs, irrespective of their molecular weight  from the tiniest compounds to the most substantial ones. The incorporation of Charantin into transferosomal gel formulation holds immense promise in advancing topical therapeutics. Charantin, a bioactive compound derived from Momordica charantia, possesses potent medicinal properties with antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. When integrated into the lipid-based transferosomal system, Charantin's efficacy is significantly amplified due to enhanced skin penetration and improved stability against degradation. The versatile nature of transferosomal gels allows for encapsulating both hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds, making it an ideal carrier for Charantin regardless of its solubility characteristics. Driven by the pursuit of excellence, the present study sought to masterfully optimize the Transferosomes to orchestrate an unparalleled symphony of enhanced skin delivery for Charantin.

This study aimed to develop a soup mix using roasted tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) seed kernel powder and evaluate its physical, chemical, mineral, and sensory characteristics, as well as glycemic response, antioxidant activity, and shelf life. Four different formulations of Tamarind seed kernel powder Soup Mixes (TSM1-10%, TSM2-20%, TSM3-30%, and TSM4-40%) of tamarind seed kernel powder were used to replace corn flour, and a control group (100% corn flour) was also tested. The physicochemical, mineral, sensory characteristics, antioxidant activity, glycemic response, and shelf life of each soup mix were evaluated using standard procedures. TSM4 had the best physical properties, while chemical analysis showed that this formulation had the highest protein content (11.31%) and caloric value (404.99 Kcal/100g). TSM4 also had the highest mineral composition and the greatest levels of TFC (23.12mg/100g), TPC (14.08mg/100g), and DPPH activity (112.41%). All five soup mix formulations had low glycemic indices and low glycemic loads. Sensory analysis indicated that TSM3, which contained 30% tamarind seed kernel powder, was the most acceptable option, with an overall acceptability score of 8.04. Shelf-life evaluation showed that the Total Plate Count (TPC) and fungal growth increased significantly over time, but the soup mixes could be stored for up to 15 days. The study found that the prepared soup mixes were more cost-effective and affordable than commercial soup mixes available in the market. Additionally, the research explored the effect of processing steps on these compounds and innovation trends for developing healthier soups that cater to specific consumer requirements.

Magnesium alloys are considered promising materials for the production of bioresorbable implants. Their main disadvantages are low strength and corrosion resistance in biological environment. In the work, the authors studied the effect of severe plastic deformation using the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) method on the structure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the Mg–8.6Zn–1.2Zr magnesium alloy. It was identified that one ECAP cycle at 400 °C leads to a substantial hardening of the Mg–8.6Zn–1.2Zr alloy by ~10 %, up to 330 MPa. Structural studies showed that dynamic recrystallisation plays a significant role in the structure transformation. ECAP leads to the formation of a bimodal structure with large deformed grains with an average transverse size of 20±4 µm and recrystallised grains with an average transverse size of 6±2 µm. It was found that with a decrease in the strain temperature up to 250 °С, the process of deformation-induced decay of the supersaturated solid solution takes place. Electrical conductivity of a sample after ECAP at 400 °C amounted 29±2 % according to the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS), while second ECAP cycles lead to an increase in the electrical conductivity up to 32±2 % IACS. Using the electrochemical corrosion method, the authors found that one ECAP cycle at 400 °C leads to a slight decrease in the corrosion resistance of the alloy under study compared to the initial state. The study showed that the corrosion current increases from 24 to 32 µA/cm2, while the subsequent ECAP cycle at 250 °С increases the corrosion current more than twice (up to 57 µA/cm2).

Biocompatibility makes magnesium alloys attractive functional materials in terms of their use as biodegradable implants. However, the technologies for manufacturing semi-finished products carry a possible diversity of the local strain rate and temperature within a rather wide range, which affects the processed material structure and properties. The purpose of the study is to determine the range of temperatures and resistance to deformation, at which there is no negative effect on the main structural characteristics of the processed material, using the example of a medical purposes alloy of the Mg–Zn–Y alloying system. The authors carried out mechanical tests of a biodegradable Mg–1Zn–2.9Y magnesium alloy at various temperatures and strain rates. The influence of temperatures in the range of 20...400 °C on the structure and properties of the Mg–Zn–Y system alloy is disclosed. Starting from a temperature of 350 °C, the process of dynamic recrystallization is accompanied both by the complete restoration (return) of the original microstructure and by coarsening of the grain size, which can adversely affect the material functional characteristics. The high thermal stability of the biodegradable Mg–1Zn–2.9Y magnesium alloy is revealed, which probably results from the presence of the LPSO phase in it. The study shows that the deformation process is accompanied by twinning. At a strain rate of 2∙10−2 s−1 over the entire temperature range, the grain size distribution slightly narrows and shifts towards smaller diameters. The application of the obtained results in technological processes for manufacturing medical semi-finished products will help to solve the issue of microstructure instability at the stage of transition from a semi-finished product to a finished product during subsequent thermomechanical treatments.
Эволюция представлений научных школ об экономическом росте

Published: April 2024

В статье представлена эволюция представлений об экономическом росте в рамках различных научных школ. Рассмотрены взгляды меркантилистов и физиократов на экономический рост. Представлены подходы классической и кейнсианской школ к анализу факторов экономического роста. В неокейнсианской модели Харрорда-Домара для объяснения темпов роста экономики используется уровень сбережений и производительность капитала. В рамках неоклассической теории роста Р. Солоу и Т. Свон предполагают, что капитал, рабочая сила и производительность объясняют темпы роста в экономике. Сторонники теории эндогенного роста предполагают, что экономический рост стран в значительной степени объясняется различиями в темпах накопления ими человеческого капитала. В рамках институциональной теории утверждается, что институты определяют долгосрочный экономический рост.
