Social environmental disasters such as natural disasters are events that have a negative impact on people's lives. The coronavirus pandemic disease (Covid-19) is one of them. The effect of Covid-19 has given society to lose its material and non-material properties. Banda Aceh City is one of the affected areas due to the distribution of COVID-19. The economic sector is one of the sectors most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have survived and saved the Indonesian economy even during the monetary crisis in 1998. Even so, MSMEs have experienced difficulties facing the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on data from 1,785 cooperatives and 163,713 MSMEs affected by the Corona virus pandemic (COVID-19). Most of the MSMEs affected by COVID-19 are involved in primary needs, such as food and drink. The Banda Aceh City Government issued a social distancing policy to reduce the distribution and spread of COVID-19. However, this research tries to look at what factors, levels, and strategies affect the economic vulnerability of MSMEs during the Covid -19 pandemic period. In the end, economic vulnerability in socio-environmental disasters has been analyzed in relation to educational aspects.

Qalbun or heart (Anri Saputra, Mela Rospita, Vivik Shofiah, 2019: 37) is a component in the human soul that judges the right or wrong of one's feelings, intentions, thoughts, attitudes and actions. The heart (qalbun) determines behavior where good or bad depends on the condition of the heart. The heart is interpreted by changing, reversing and replacing, while Imam Al-Ghazali is of the view that the heart is the flesh that is located on the left side of the human chest which is elongated round (heart).               The purpose of this paper is to describe that the Qalbu (heart) has certain meanings, functions, potentials, types and characteristics that must be used wisely to direct humans to goodness. This paper is a literature study research. Literature study is a scientific work that contains discussion of previous research and scientific references. Literature study is related to theoretical studies and other references related to values, culture and norms that develop in social situations and scientific literature (library research). The conclusions of this paper are 1. Qalbun is a "central system" device of the inner human mind to know and understand something as well as a driving force in human life activities. 2. Qalbun is a medium for entering God's guidance with the condition that the heart is filled with faith first. 3. Qalbun has a potential that must be guarded and used wisely. A mistake in using the potential of the heart will result in damage to the living system which gives birth to humans with various kinds of heart disease. 4. Qalbun functions to find the truth of Allah's verses as a human being can be a person who fears Allah SWT. Furthermore, they can carry out their duties as Abdullah and Khalifatullah.

Published: June 2023

Legal system development certainly cannot be separated from sociological developments that include customs, norms, culture, and religion. In terms of rapid economic development, no doubt, a country is required to have a rule of law that can accommodate these needs and could cover various sociological spectrums that exist and are constantly changing within its people. Indonesia as a country with the largest Muslim majority in the world, while the notion of the whole state is based on Pancasila with diverse customs and cultural norms is certainly faced with several challenges, one of which is the transformation and the implementation of living law that includes religious, as well as indigenous law into a state law. The field of economics as an example of a social event that continues to revolve, will significantly be affected in the development of legal and social science. Sharia law is no longer a codification of exclusive law limited to certain groups of people but has become a general rule not only in Indonesia but also internationally with the existence of Islamic banking system. This phenomenon certainly changes the view of the legal order that applies in society if the change is assessed through the eyes of the sociology of law in Indonesia.

Schistosomiasis is an endemic disease in Indonesia which is only found in the province of Central Sulawesi, namely in Poso and Sigi Regencies. The area where the distribution of sichistosomes was found was in Kab. Poso in three places namely Bada, Lore and Napu. Although the policy for handling schistosomiasis snails and the impact of the disease has been handled since the colonial era, the Indonesian government has only taken serious action since 1982, which has not been completed until now. The absence of a common view on the problem of schistosomiasis has resulted in an asynchronous implementation of programs and activities related to the alleviation of schistosomiasis. This primary data collection technique also uses secondary data that comes from the Poso health office, the Bada schistosomiasis laboratory and the implementation of triangulation of actors, methods and data through focus group discussions which are expected to be able to map out the issues of involvement and the similarity of viewing problems in the management of schistosomiasis control in the context of the study This takes the area of Bada which is relatively successful although not yet complete. The collaboration model by collaborating with various internal institutional elements of the local government in each related regional apparatus organization, involving the community as an important part by becoming stool collectors, the presence of teachers and priests who provide strengthening information regarding the urgency of participation and collaboration to solve schistosomiasis has a broad impact on program achievements this.

Authors: Artunov Nofal
Published: June 2023

The study investigates the changes in both the quantity and quality of land use in the Shaki district resulting from the increased level of social and economic development. Remote sensing was used to analyze the projects implemented under the State program 'Social and Economic Development of Regions,' assessing their impact on land use. The projects were categorized as either 'changing' or 'replacing,' based on their degree of impact, scale, and transformations between areas. The study also examined the population distribution by altitude zones and settlement levels. The satellite images were decoded and the land use areas were divided into classes. The level of land use between 2001 and 2020 was analyzed using the support vector machine (SVM) method to calculate the scale, difference, and regional growth rate of individual areas. The changes that occurred were identified and explained. Additionally, the transitions between categories were studied, the main changing and expanding areas were identified, and the increasing and decreasing tendencies between classes were examined.
Phacoemulsification associated with loss of endothelial cells in cataract surgery: a systematic review of main surgical techniques
Authors: Garcia Alessandro Perussi , Liedtke Fernanda Soubhia
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Phacoemulsification (PE) cataract surgery is the gold standard in ophthalmology, being effective in improving vision in more than 90.0% of patients. In this context, authors found that PE was associated with 16.67% of endothelial cell loss, which correlated with the degree of trauma during surgery. Endothelial changes are considered an important parameter for assessing trauma and for estimating the safety of a surgical technique. In this sense, more modern PE machines are capable of removing cataracts using optimized parameters such as high vacuum, aspiration flow, and low amount of ultrasonic energy. Objective: It was to present and discuss the main phacoemulsification techniques for optimizing the treatment of cataracts, in an attempt to reduce the loss of corneal endothelial cells. Methods: Experimental and clinical studies were included (case reports, retrospective, prospective, and randomized studies) with qualitative and/or quantitative analysis. Initially, the keywords were determined by searching the DeCS tool (Descriptors in Health Sciences, BIREME base) and later verified and validated by MeSH Terms. The search literature was carried out from January to April 2023 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. Results: A total of 122 articles involving phacoemulsification and endothelial cells were found. Initially, the existing title and duplications were excluded according to the interest described in this work. After this process, the abstracts were evaluated and a new exclusion was performed. A total of 80 articles were evaluated in full and 59 were included and discussed in this study. At the beginning of treatment with PE, without the endothelial protection of viscoelastic agents and the use of ultrasound in the anterior chamber, the endothelial loss was greater than in extracapsular cataract extraction. With the modernization of PE, the use of viscoelastic agents, the emergence of techniques for fracture of the nucleus within the capsular bag, and the use of ultrasound in the posterior chamber, the loss of endothelial cells reduced from 7 to 12% on average. Conclusion: Endothelial changes are considered an important parameter to assess trauma and estimate the safety of a surgical technique. Highlighted, the main predictors associated with the loss of corneal endothelial cells are the duration of the ultrasound used in the surgery, the turbulence of the liquid in the anterior chamber, and the mechanical trauma.
The microbial community of persistent endodontic infection and the use of root canal disinfectants against E. faecalis: In vitro and in vivo review
Authors: Ahmad Mahmoud , Chandra Sathees
Published: June 2023

In cases of unsuccessful endodontic treatment, E. faecalis is commonly detected and remains popular among the scientific community for in vitro and in vivo research. The nature of the bacteria's predominance is dependent on the difficulty in cleaning the apical portion of the tooth and E. faecalis' capacity to grow deep into the dentinal tubules. The purpose of this review is to gather current research on root canal disinfection against E. faecalis. In this literature review, four databases were searched: PubMed, EBSCOhost, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, with explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria. The compiled review shows that a predominant multi-microbial community within a persistent root canal infection include Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Enterococcus faecalis. E. faecalis produces moderate biofilms and causes infection through its virulence factors such as esp, cylA, ace, gelE, asa, and efaA. Several disinfecting agents and approaches have been explored for their capacity to eradicate E. faecalis and penetrate the dentinal tubules. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX) gel eliminate E. faecalis and other resistant microbes such as Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Combing NaOCl irrigation with the following: Photon-induced photoacoustic streaming, passive ultrasonic irrigation, and diode laser irradiation, eradicates E. faecalis. The current research has shifted towards nanoparticles against E. faecalis because of its dissolution capacity, size, and antimicrobial efficacy. E. faecalis resists calcium hydroxide through its proton pump mechanism, but it is susceptible to Ca(OH)2 when applying a proton pump inhibitor or chlorhexidine.

Published: June 2023

In this study, we aimed to share our experience in preoperative anaesthesia evaluation for patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery in our hospital and review the relevant literature. We retrospectively evaluated 139 patients with ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) physical status 1 and 2 who underwent bimaxillary surgery. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, ASA physical status, mallampati scores, systemic diseases, allergy history, consultation request status, consulted departments, smoking, alcohol or drug use, and previous exposure to general anaesthesia. The preoperative evaluation of bimaxillary surgery patients revealed several notable findings, including a relatively high rate of cardiovascular problems (48% rate among those with additional systemic disease), the need for otolaryngology (ENT) consultation being the most frequent (44% rate among all consultations), and a relatively high rate of active smoking (23.7%). Our findings suggest that the bimaxillary surgery patient group should be carefully evaluated, particularly regarding cardiovascular disease and difficult airway management
Gallbladder duplication accompanied by gallstones: A rare congenital anomaly
Authors: Goksu Mustafa , Alakus Huseyin , Corapli Mahmut , Turk Bilge , Daghan Fatih
Published: June 2023

Gallbladder diseases are among the most common pathologies requiring surgical intervention in general surgery practice. Gallbladder duplication is a rare anomaly of the biliary system. Congenital anomalies and anatomical variations of the gallbladder constitute one of the significant difficulties encountered by surgeons since these variations can cause great uncertainty in defining the anatomical structures of the gallbladder and may lead to significant complications during surgery. Congenital malformations are important predisposing factors for iatrogenic bile duct injuries during cholecystectomy. This case report presents a case of symptomatic gallbladder duplication and a double cystic duct treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Published: June 2023

Surgical site infections are one of the most important factors that increase morbidity and length of stay, especially after abdominal surgical procedures. With the COVID-19 pandemic, serious isolation and contact measures have been taken in hospital clinics in Turkey and all over the world. The aim of this study is to compare the rate of surgical site infection in patients who underwent abdominal surgery between March 15, 2020 and May 31, 2020 in Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, General Surgery Clinic, and patients who underwent abdominal surgery between the same dates a year ago. The features were examined with the SSI between the two periods. A statistically significant difference was found between the patients who were operated on before and during the pandemic in terms of smoking status (p=0.020), urgency of surgery (p=0.001) and chemotherapy receiving status (p=0.002). A statistically significant difference was not recorded between patients with and without surgical site infection in terms of the season in which the operation was performed, the surgery over the previous incision, the type of operation, the urgency of the operation and the presence of a drain.
The precautions taken due to the COVID-19 pandemic do not change the risk of developing SSI after abdominal surgery. In preventing the risk of SSI, the factors related to the wound and the patient, which have been defined before, are at the forefront.
Comparative analysis of models in confirmatory factor analysis: Exploring clinical applications and interpretation
Authors: Inceoglu Feyza , Yologlu Saim , Kanik Emine
Published: June 2023

To demonstrate the explainability of the scales with fewer dimensions instead of the number of existing dimensions by ensuring that the scale structures created by explanatory factor analysis (EFA) are verified with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Data from the Nutritional Behavior Scale in Children, answered by the parents of 204 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were used. EFA was performed with the data obtained from the scale. In the next step, the explained variance percentages and dimensions were determined and the model goodness of fit indexes were calculated with CFA. The dimensions with the lowest explained variance percentages were removed from the model, respectively, and three different scale models were tested. The variance explanation percentage of the first eight-dimensional model created with EFA was calculated as 72.68%. The food fussiness sub-dimension was removed and CFA was applied to the model again and new indices were calculated. Finally, the emotional under-eating sub-dimension was excluded from the model, resulting in a six-dimensional Child Eating Behavior Scale (CEBS). Goodness-of-fit indices of the CFA model established with six dimensions were χ2 / df; 1.545, AIC; 715,433 and RMSEA; 0.052 was found. It has been shown that the eight, seven, and six-dimensional scale models constructed according to the percentages of variance explained for CEBS are sufficient to explain the sample and that the six-dimensional scale model can be used for CEBS. Our study is the first to use competing models in confirmatory factor analysis in reducing scale dimensions.
Conversion to laparotomy in bening gynecologic laparoscopic surgery; Can surgical experience be protective
Authors: Guven Cenk , Uysal Dilek
Published: June 2023

Laparoscopy is a surgical technique that is frequently used in the treatment of benign cases, but the conversion to open surgery (CTOS) complication is higher than laparotomy. In some cases, a conversion from laparoscopic surgery to open surgery is necessary to prevent or treat difficulties. In this study, the effect of surgical expertise on CTOS was evaluated on patients who had undergone laparoscopic surgery for benign indications. A total of 305 patients were included during the study period. These patients were divided into two groups: CTOS group (7 patients) and successful laparoscopy group (298 patients). Benign gynecological laparoscopy operation was converted to open surgery in 7 of 305 patients (2.29%) included in this study. Open surgery significantly prolonged hospital stays in patients compared to laparoscopic surgery. While wound infection was observed in 3 patients who underwent open surgery, no infection was observed in laparoscopic surgery group. Obtained results demonstrated that age, body mass index, sufficient surgical expertise, history of previous abdominal surgery and endometriosis, obstetrical status, abdomino-pelvic adhesions, and frozen pelvis did not create risk factor for CTOS in the treatment of benign cases with laparoscopic surgery. It was concluded that the conversion to open surgery is connected with technical problems instead of complication management or surgical complexity.

Authors: Uz Cuma , Umay Ebru
Published: June 2023

In recent years, the use of YouTube for obtaining medical information has increased. In this article, we aimed to determine the usefulness, quality,and reliability of YouTube videos on coccydynia. Coccydynia and "coccyx pain" were searched for on YouTube on October 2, 2022. The study comprised 80 of the 120 videos that were discovered as a consequence of the search and met the inclusion criteria. The videos' videometric properties were noted. Depending on whether the content utilized information from evidence-based scientific sources,the videos were separated into two groups: useful and misleading. The measure popularity, the Video Power Index (VPI) was applied. To measure reliability, the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) was applied. To evaluate quality, the Global Quality Score (GQS) was applied. This study found that 28.7% of the video sources were from physicians and 73.8% of the videos were classified as useful, while 26.2% were classified as misleading. Videos posted by doctors and academic institutions/professional organizations were all in the useful group, while all videos uploaded by independent users and patients were in the misleading group. The useful videos had higher VPI, GQS, and mDISCERN scores, indicating that videos posted by healthcare professionals and academic institutions were more reliable and of higher quality than those from patients and independent users. The significant number of the coccydynia-related YouTube videos were reliable, useful, and of high quality. Healthcare providers should be aware of the value of YouTube's health-related content and maintain high-quality content.
Regional peculiarities of specific immunity in inhabitants of different mountain heights of the Kyrgyz Republic

Published: June 2023

Kyrgyzstan’s challenging natural conditions and fragile mountain ecosystems can weaken the immune system of individuals residing permanently in high-altitude areas. Our study aimed to explore specific immune protection indicators in healthy populations from the Chui and Naryn regions at varying mountain altitudes. We assessed percentages of CD3+ (T-lymphocytes), CD20+ (B-lymphocytes), CD4+ (T-helper lymphocytes), CD8+ (cytotoxic T-lymphocytes), IRI (immunoregulatory index), CIC (circulating immune complexes), and quantified immunoglobulins of classes A, M, and G. Using immunofluorescent methods and monoclonal antibodies; we determined the percentages of CD3+, CD20+, CD4+, and CD8+. Radial immunodiffusion was used to quantify immunoglobulins of classes A, M, and G, while Falk’s method helped study CIC levels in blood sera. The participant count was based on statistical expert recommendations and G power analysis. The analysis revealed a decrease in the total number of T-lymphocytes (CD3+), primarily due to reduced T-helper and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte subpopulations. However, a significant increase in cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CD8+) was observed among high-altitude residents. Mountain residents exhibited wide-ranging individual fluctuations for each immunoglobulin class. Our findings suggest varying degrees of immune mechanism disruptions, which maintain natural protection and internal environment constancy at different altitudes, resulting in a mixed type of cellular and humoral immunity suppression. These results emphasize the need for further research in the region and consideration of altitude when implementing disease prevention strategies related to the immune system for the local population.

Published: June 2023

Cases of intoxication are among the common medical emergencies. Cases of suicidal drug intoxication are more common among young people. Based on this information, our study aimed to identify the demographic and etiological characteristics of cases of drug intoxication and their costs to the social security institution. The files of patients diagnosed with drug intoxication in the adult emergency department of Kahramanmaraş Sutcu Imam University Medical Faculty Hospital between 01.01.2022 and 31.12.2022 were reviewed retrospectively from the automation system. In our study, the data of 110 patients admitted to the emergency department with a clinical picture of drug-related intoxication were evaluated. 75.5% of the patients were female and 40% of them were in the 18-24 age group. It was determined that 92.7% of the patients took the drug that caused intoxication for suicidal purposes and that psychiatric agents constituted a significant part of the drugs taken. Treatment costs increased significantly in cases of suicidal drug intake and multiple drug intake. The length of hospital stay and the cost of treatment increased as the time between the time of drug intake and the hospital arrival time increased. Most of the drug-related intoxications occurred due to suicidal intake. Most of the drugs used for this purpose were analgesics and psychiatric drugs. Emergency departments are the first places where patients with drug intoxication are evaluated, and all physicians working in the emergency department should know the approach to intoxication very well.

Although there are many studies investigating their relationship with colorectal cancers (CRC), there is a serious difference between the results in the related literature. The present study aimed to share our own experience with inflammatory indexes in CRC patients. Patients with a diagnosis of CRC who underwent surgery between January 2019 and June 2022 were retrospectively scanned. Exclusion criteria were as follows; being in a septic state before surgery, accompanying hematological disease, receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy/radiotherapy, being diagnosed with recurrent CRC, undergoing emergency surgery, receiving immunosuppressive or anti-inflammatory treatment. Therefore, the study was conducted with 52 patients. Demographic information, tumor localization, stages and pathology data of the patients were examined. The relationship between these variables and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was investigated. A significant correlation was found between pathological T stages and SII (p=0.008), NLR (p<0.001) and PLR (p=0.035). No correlation was found between inflammatory indexes and Age, Tumor Diameter, N Stage, Total Lymph Node Count, Metastatic Lymph Node Count. In our study, inflammatory indexes were found to be associated only with the T stage. Considering our results together with the variable results in the literature, more evidence is needed for the safe and active use of SII, NLR and PLR as markers of colorectal cancers.

Assessment of hydration status in children undergoing hemodialysis (HD) is crucial. This study aimed to identify the techniques that can be utilized to assess fluid overload in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing HD. The study included 9 patients aged >5 years and < 18 years who underwent 27 HD sessions and were followed up for ≥1 month. The median age of the patients was 16 years (IQR: 5-17.8 years) and the female/male ratio was 1.25:1. Symptoms of volume overload were clinically observed based on 5 (18.5%) of the 27 measurements. There was a significant positive linear correlation between fluid overload by weight and pre- and post-HD bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) measurements (OH) (r=0.95 [P=0.000]). There was a significant difference in median IVC diameter between pre-HD and after HD (P=0.029). The median pre-HD IVC collapsing index was 13.8% (IRQ: 4%-46%), versus 17.1% (IRQ: 4.5%-45%) after HD; the difference was significant (P=0.000). BIS is the most widely used body composition monitor for estimating fluid status in children undergoing HD. The present study investigated the sensitivity of markers of volume load in children on a routine HD program. The parameters that best indicate volume load are the differences between pre-HD and post-HD BIS measurements, physical examination findings, and heart rate measurements.
Analysis of the relationship between pain, anxiety, depression, and self-care agency in patients who underwent major orthopedic surgeries

Major orthopedic surgery is an invasive procedure applied in a wide area to correct degeneration caused by different factors. There are many symptoms that negatively affect the individual, especially in the acute period after surgery. In order to increase the comfort level of the individual and to make the person independent as early as possible, the detection of post-surgical symptoms is gaining more and more importance day by day. This study was carried out to examine the relationship between pain, anxiety, depression and self-care power in individuals who have underwent major orthopedic surgery. The population of the study consisted of all adult patients who had orthopedic surgery. In data collection, “Patient Description Form”, “Visual Analog Scale”, “Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale” and “Self Care Power Scale” were used. As a result of the research, it was determined that the risk of anxiety and depression is high in patients who have underwent major orthopedic surgery and there is a significant relationship between them. It is possible to talk about a positive relationship between pain and anxiety, but a negative relationship between self-care power.

Professionalizing Community-Based Coastal Resource Management (CRM) Services
Authors: Pajaro Marivic , Raquino Mark , Watts Paul
Published: June 2023

Philippine artisanal fisheries have historically been self-regulating, although concerns regarding sustainability have led to significant countrywide and international focus on national improvements in Coastal Resource Management (CRM). The process to professionalize CRM skills in the Philippines is outlined herein as a reflexive or solution-focused approach to mitigate fisherfolk poverty, enhance skills available to local government, manage the national heritage of marine resource extraction, and emerging food-security challenges of the growing population. Ongoing progressions are put in context with several decades of programmatic work through the lens of Ecohealth Action Research that has led to specific foundational outcomes. Emphasis is placed upon overcoming the historical disconnect between fisherfolk and government regarding; CRM program implementation, inclusive, participatory designs, and methodologies that lead to enhanced community-based skills and capacity. Collaborative approaches to developing adaptive co-management that include fisherfolk are directly linked to a government stakeholder analysis and roles under the Local Government Code (RA 7160). The projected Green Jobs are subsequently considered within the international Sustainable Development Goals.
Do National Differences Hamper CSDP? The Pragmatism of Mission Members
Authors: Friesendorf Cornelius , Neubauer Philipp
Published: June 2023

European police officers’ work in the context of multinational police missions is an important component of international peace- and statebuilding. However, so far little is known about the inner life of police work in such missions. Existing research suggests that difficulties arise when police from countries with different policing models participate in the same mission. Focusing on public order policing and drawing on interviews with European police officers working in Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions of the European Union, our findings offer a more nuanced picture. Even though distinctly national styles continue to inform public order practices (trends of convergence notwithstanding), European members of multinational missions are not critical of differing approaches per se and even appreciate cross-national variation as it provides a range of options. However, their pragmatism also leads mission members to be critical towards practices they regard as not fitting local conditions in mission areas or as lacking proper planning.

A New Look on Cooperative Identity in the Light of the EU Prospectus Regulation and Blockchain-Based Public Equity Financing
Authors: Gurkov Alexander
Published: June 2023

Сooperative identity has distinct features which formed over a century ago. Legislation of many countries recognises the value of traditional cooperatives by providing them with special regulatory regimes, like tax exemptions. These exact features make cooperatives unattractive when it comes to competing with investor-owned companies for public equity capital. The article looks into the traditional cooperatives within the legal framework of raising public equity capital through the offer of blockchain-based tokens (crypto-assets). The analysis focuses on existing non-blockchain EU regulations, the EU Prospectus Regulation specifically. The study looks into the distinct features of the cooperative identity, analyses the specifics of prospectus regulations, and applies the criteria underlying the initial disclosure obligation when making a public offer to sell equity-based blockchain tokens by cooperatives.

The article concludes that complying with the traditional cooperative identity allows entities to access public equity financing using crypto-assets without publishing a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation. This conclusion is only a first step in analysing the cooperative identity changes when membership is offered in transferable blockchain tokens.
