Published: February 2024

Indonesia is now facing critical environmental problems, in addition to cases of growing waste, deforestation of scale such as air pollution, and lack of air supply and air services, raining down on Indonesia for some serious irregularities and deficiencies in environmental management. These serious issues must be addressed, and appropriate solutions must be implemented to reduce disaster risks and promote the growth of a better and more sustainable country. Since Islam is the main religion for the Indonesian people, an Islamic approach will be encouraged to solve this problem. Previous researchers requested that waqf is the most important Islamic legal entity that can be used for this purpose. Sustainable and integrated waste management or ISWM/Integrated Sustainable Waste Management focuses on waste management as a multi-actor. Waqf can contribute to long-term management that is used to manage and manage waste. Waqf institutions and others have pioneered some of these innovative schemes, but they have been massively implemented. So, this research will examine the concept of Waqf-Based Waste Management.

Statistical and econometric analyses make possible to analyze spatial processes depending on phenomena location. This allows to separate and to monitor an external impulse in space and time. Graphical presented changes in surveyed areas as well as their comparison with changes in neighbouring units allow to monitor creating spatial clusters of similar values of a researched features and spatial clusters with similar phenomena. The article tries to prove that global crisis changes in unemployment rate did not show any diffusion. There were no change transfers to neighbour areas. Local changes in unemployment rates were reaction to external impulse (economic crisis). Strong regional centers (voivodship capitals) preserve their "resistance areas" of about 100 km around which make impossible to transfer impulses from neighbour areas.

¨[Original in spanish] Update of techniques for the treatment of periodontal recessions.
Authors: Scandola Debora , Muñoz Corcuera Marta , Gil Abando Gabriela , González Ibarguren Emilio
Published: February 2024

Background: Along the years, a remarkable variety of periodontal surgical protocols has been proposed, the focus of which has shifted from the mere resolution of a soft tissue defect to the performance of predictable and minimally invasive procedures. Initially, the free gingival graft was used. Subsequently, many different techniques were experimented, including those using soft tissue substitutes, such as the Alloderm membrane. Nowadays, the association of the connective tissue graft with the coronally advanced flap is considered the gold standard. Finally, the Pinhole technique, being a more conservative method in terms of tissue preservation and aesthetic outcome, was proposed. Objectives: The aim of this review was the comparison of the updated techniques for the treatment of multiple periodontal recessions, affecting both maxilla and mandible. The procedure outcome was assessed in terms of complete root coverage, recession reduction, gain in height and volume, aesthetic outcome, patient’s post-operative pain and morbidity of donor and recipient sites. Material and methods: Electronic and hand searches were performed to collect split- mouth studies, randomized controlled clinical trials, case series, pilot studies, periodontal books, case studies, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, including maxillary and mandibular multiple gingival recession defects of all four Miller’s classes, for its extensive evidence.  Results: Thirty-four publications were included and data regarding the surgical techniques outcome were extracted from eighteen articles. The clinical evaluation analyzed the amount of complete root coverage, recession reduction and gain in height and volume, while the patient’s perspective was expressed in terms of aesthetic satisfaction and possible postoperative complications. Procedures in the last ten years showed better results in all the above-mentioned factors. Conclusion: Procedural predictability and long-lasting treatment stability embody the factors driving the technique election process and adding value to more updated procedures. Progress was observed both at an aesthetic level, by reducing the discrepancies between the surgical region and the surrounding tissue, and at a postoperative level, by reducing patient discomfort. The challenges inherent to this branch could soon find answers thanks to its prompt evolution, which allows for further advances to be conceived.

Sarcopenia and its Impact on the Immune System
Authors: Li Zhengrui
Published: February 2024

The phenomenon of sarcopenia, characterized by a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and function, epitomizes a significant aspect of the aging process. Current estimates suggest that sarcopenia affects approximately 50 million individuals globally, a figure projected to escalate to 500 million by 2050. This condition, often insidious in its onset, precipitates substantial functional impairments, elevating the risk of falls, disability, and mortality among the elderly. Consequently, sarcopenia substantially diminishes the quality of life for older adults and imposes a considerable burden on healthcare systems worldwide (Consensus of Diagnosis and Treatment of Sarcopenia in Chinese Older Adults, 2021) (Figure 1)

Authors: Christina Michelle
Published: February 2024

Oral Submucosal Fibrosis (OSMF) is a premalignant condition that is a chronic, insidious, and incapacitating disease of the oral mucosa and oropharynx, occasionally occurring in the larynx. We bring to you a case of recurrent oral submucosal fibrosis in a 37-year-old male who presented with a gradual decrease in the extent of mouth opening. On local examination his interincisal distance was nil and there was extensive posterior buccal mucosa fibrosis bilaterally. Even after 2 previous interventions, the recurrence of his disease was high, also there is a high chance of malignant transformation thus a surgical approach was decided for him. When such a case presents to the hospital which has multiple failures of previous interventions it needs to be approached with caution and the management needs to be decided based on the benefit and the patients’ financial background and the prognosis of the intervention.
May Pentoxifylline Protect Immature Brain Against Disorders Induced By Inflammatory Response In Neonatal Sepsis?
Authors: Lauterbach Ryszard
Published: February 2024

Prematurity is a chronic hyperinflammatory state when compared to the inflammatory response in adulthood. Even in the absence of disease, the inflammatory reaction is more robust with preterm infants mounting cytokine levels that far exceed those in adults with similar insults. Unregulated inflammatory response is partially due to an increase in production of proinflammatory mediators but is also due to the lack of negative regulator [1].

This article results from community service through training in making organic liquid fertilizer. This community service activity aims to provide solutions for peaseants in Biting Village, Purwantoro District, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java, for the problem of difficulties in obtaining subsidized chemical fertilizers. This community service activity uses the ABCD (asset-based community-driven development) method to analyze community needs by assisting peaseants in making liquid organic fertilizer from rice washing water (leri) as an alternative to subsidized chemical fertilizers, which are difficult for peaseants to obtain. The results of this community service activity through training in making organic liquid fertilizer show the significance of peaseants being able to make organic liquid fertilizer from materials that are easily obtained so they do not depend on subsidized chemical fertilizers. Apart from that, after training in making organic liquid fertilizer, peaseants can save production costs to allocate the budget for purchasing fertilizer for other primary needs.

Background: Prenatal care is a cornerstone of maternal and child health. This paper describes the creation of a free prenatal clinic for uninsured families following recognition of a significant disparity in birth outcomes in Alachua County, Florida including: the development of essential community re- source collaborations, clinical operations in a dual aim patient care-medical education site, preliminary outcomes after one year of clinical operation, identified challenges, and next steps for our growing program.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of all sixteen patients enrolled with the student run free prenatal clinic in its first year of clinical operation. Analysis included assessment of the prenatal care course using descriptive statistics. Specific dimensions assessed include timing of transition of care to a traditional obstetrics clinic, clinical findings and diagnoses identified at the prenatal clinic, and birth out- comes during the study period and report findings as descriptive statistics.

Results: The clinic has demonstrated the ability to identify and treat numerous pathologies which may impact maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. The clinic has seen very high rates of patient retention and has demonstrated successful transition of patients to higher levels of care when indicated. Finally, the clinical model provides an uncommon opportunity for medical and physician assistant students to care for patients throughout the first 32 weeks of pregnancy and receive additional training in point-of-care ultrasound, diagnostics, and medical decision making.

Conclusion: While the small sample size limits the ability to assess the effectiveness of the prenatal clinic intervention, there are numerous promising features based on preliminary results.
Wasting the restorative potential: Influences of plastic and biowaste on psychological restoration after real, virtual, and imagined walks
Authors: Menzel Claudia , von der Heiden Leonie , Tretau Imke , Wissel Pia
Published: February 2024

Nature experiences benefit human wellbeing by, for example, increasing subjective restoration and positive affect while reducing negative affect. However, natural environments are threatened by several crises, including pollution. In three preregistered studies, one correlational and two experimental, we investigated the relationship between (plastic) litter and restoration after a walk. In Study 1, participants did a self-selected restorative walk and afterwards reported observed litter. In two experimental studies, we manipulated the presence of plastic waste, biowaste (which served as an active control condition with human-sourced but degradable litter), and no waste in a virtual (i.e., video; Study 2) and an imagined (Study 3) forest walk. In all studies, we assessed subjective restoration, current affect and connectedness to nature, attractiveness and preference of scenery, as well as plastic-related problem awareness, intentions, and policy support. Results showed that litter, especially from plastic, is associated with harmful changes in subjective restoration, affect, and the perception of the scenery. Connectedness to nature, as well as plastic-related problem awareness, intentions, and policy support were not affected by the presence of plastic. Thus, plastic pollution influences human wellbeing negatively, but did not affect factors important to reduce consumption. Therefore, more research on tackling the plastic crisis is needed.
Measuring organizational transparency with 10 items: Validation of a German short scale
Authors: Hossiep C. Richard , Märtins Julian , Schewe Gerhard
Published: February 2024

In recent research on transparency in organizational settings, a multidimensional understanding of supervisor transparency has gained acceptance. Following recent operationalizations, the construct can be measured by the five dimensions of Disclosure, Clarity, Accuracy, Timeliness, and Relevance of shared information. Initial applications of the scale already show its usefulness in that theoretically well-founded relationships, e.g., to trust, could be empirically supported using the instrument. As the instrument consists of twenty items, it can be too long for specific application fields. A shorter, more economical instrument is of value, especially in surveys that include many different constructs. In this article, we report on our testing of the suitability of a German shorter version consisting of only ten items. The results show that this instrument respects the dimensionality of the construct and leads to similar effects concerning its relationship to trust (-worthiness) and job satisfaction compared to the long scale. The findings also support the notion that individual transparency dimensions have different and distinct effects. Thus, the importance of a multidimensional understanding of transparency in organizational settings is also underlined by the short scale.

Authors: Khisa W , Sabina W , Malcom C , Linda M , Tina L
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Women living with Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) continue to suffer for many years, and  often in silence. Around the world, over 2 million women live with a fistula and new cases continue to be  reported especially in low income countries. These countries also tend to have a high maternal morbidity and  mortality rates.  

Objectives: To establish the duration of leakage in a cohort of women diagnosed with fistula.  

Methodology: A prospective cohort study conducted over a three-year period. Patients with confirmed  diagnosis of VVF and or Recto Vaginal fistula (RVF) were eligible for study. A structured questionnaire was  used to collect information on sociodemographic profiles, presenting symptoms and duration of leakage.  

Results: A total of one thousand and twenty-four patients were enrolled in the study, 34% had lived with the  fistula for more than 3 years. The majority (70%) were young, with a mean age of 20. Literacy levels were  low in this cohort. Urban women were more likely to access fistula care services compared to their rural  counterparts (p>0.0001).  

Conclusion: Individual and country level factors influenced the duration women lived with fistula before  surgical repair.
Regime Adaptation Within Russia’s Judicial Elites
Authors: von Gall Caroline
Published: February 2024

The case of Valery Zorkin, chairman of the Russian Constitutional Court, shows how elites prioritize their own survival and therefore do not oppose a repressive and aggressive regime, most likely because they fear revenge from liberal peers and victims of the system. And since the war against Ukraine, elites have another reason to stay loyal. For those who fear being held responsible for a war of aggression and war crimes, Putin is the only “guarantor of stability.”

Authors: Habibie Zulqoidi R , Kartono Kartono , Kartono Wardono , Kharisudin Iqbal
Published: February 2024

This study aims to analyze the ability of SL using statistical literacy ability test questions integrated with Indonesian education issues through a quantitative descriptive research approach to 116 students of the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program at Muhammadiyah University Muara Bungo. The results showed that students were still low in Statistical Literacy skills. These results can be seen from 75% of students who scored below 60 and 25% of students who scored above 60 on the Statistical Literacy ability test. Then, it can be seen from the average ability of students to solve SL test questions based on Indicators, namely 71.33% in indicator 1, 53.16% in indicator 2, and 57.18% in indicator 3. At the same time, the average student who is able to solve SL questions is 28.67% in indicator 1, 46.84% in indicator 2, and 42.82% in indicator 3. Based on in-depth interviews, researchers see the main factor in the low SL ability of students being that they have not mastered descriptive statistics. The main factor that helps students solve SL questions is the Indonesian Education Issue approach. Researcher suggest that further research needs to be done that can improve students' SL skills through the application of learning models, the development of learning models, or the application of learning strategies to solve SL problems.
