Religiocentric Expression, Intolerance, and Conflict between Majority and Minority Ethnic Groups in Bangladesh
Authors: Uddin Emaj
Published: October 2022

Using Social Psychological perspectives we analyze how religiocentric expression influences conflict via intolerant behavior between majority and minority ethnic groups in Bangladesh. In so doing, a total of 555 men (majority group n = 140, minority group n= 415) were randomly selected from northwestern villages of Bangladesh. The descriptive results revealed that Muslim and Hindu men had relatively higher scores on religiocentric expression and intolerance than Santal and Oraon men were significantly related to conflict. The results from SPSS Process Macro 4 suggested that higher level of intolerance of the Muslim and Hindu men than the Santal and Oraon men partially mediated the associations between religiocentric expression and conflict, after accounting for sociodemographic characteristics. Interreligious intolerance is an important mediator by which religiocentric expression induces conflict between majority and minority groups in Bangladesh. Future directions for public policy and research are discussed.

Authors: Aladdin Yuri Alfrin
Published: October 2022

Pemerintah wilayah otonom Catalonia, Spanyol, mengumumkan 90 persen dari 2,26 juta orang yang memberikan suara dalam referendum kemerdekaan pada 1 Oktober 2017, memilih untuk merdeka dari Spanyol. Jumlah itu mewakili sekitar 42,3 persen dari total pemilih Catalonia yang mencapai 5,34 juta. Situasi yang dialami Catalonia hampir mirip dengan Provinsi Aceh Darussalam yang pernah menuntut pemisahan diri dari Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. Perlawanan bersenjata di Aceh, tahun 1976 melalui organisasi Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM), berakhir tahun 2005 setelah Pemerintah Indonesia menandatangani perjanjian Helsinki dengan GAM, dan menjadikan Aceh sebagai provinsi dengan otonomi khusus dalam pangkuan NKRI. Studi ini membahas karakteristik pers di Aceh dikaitkan wacana pemisahan sebuah wilayah dari negara. Peneliti menggunakan metode Analisis Wacana Kritis model Norman Fairclough untuk menganalisis cara dan gaya pemberitaan media portal berita lokal Aceh, serta melakukan wawancara dengan dua orang pimpinan Persatuan Wartawan Indonesia Banda Aceh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, masih terdapat wacana tersembunyi dukungan jurnalis muda media lokal Aceh terhadap ide kemerdekaan yang didorong oleh ketidakpuasan hasil pembangunan di Aceh.

Published: October 2022

Salah satu tradisi yang masih terus dipraktekkan masyarakat Aceh adalah tradisi meu-uroh. Namun dalam pelaksanaannya tradisi ini telah mengalami inovasi. Dulu tradisi meu-uroh dilakukan dengan membawa batee ranup yang memiliki makna luhur sedangkan sekarang tradisi ini dilakukan dengan membawa undangan cetak sekapur sirih seperti terjadi di Desa Cot Lagan, Kecamatan Woyla, Kabupaten Aceh Barat, sehingga terjadi pergeseran budaya dalam tradisi meu-uroh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui penyebab terjadinya pergeseran budaya tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, pergeseran budaya penggunaan batee ranup dalam tradisi meu-uroh disebabkan kurangnya pemahaman dan kecintaan masyarakat tentang budaya tersebut sehingga sangat mudah menerima budaya baru yang masuk dan berkembang di tengah-tengah mereka. Pergeseran budaya ini juga terjadi karena perkembangan teknologi yang kian pesat sehingga membawa banyak perubahan dalam kehidupan masyarakat termasuk dalam segi budaya. Perkembangan teknologi ini berdampak, membawa sekapur sirih sebagai undangan lambat laun menggantikan posisi batee ranup dalam tradisi meu-uroh. Selain itu, penggunaan undangan sekapur sirih juga dirasa masyarakat lebih murah dan praktis jika dibandingkan dengan menggunakan batee ranup.

Penyimpangan Makna Cinta dalam Penggunaan Stiker Line Brown & Cony
Authors: Lestari Christina Arsi
Published: October 2022

Aplikasi Line chatting yang berasal dari Jepang memiliki lambang stiker, dengan icon perdananya Brown Cony. Lambang stiker Brown Cony di sini dibuat dengan seunik dan selucu mungkin, dengan berbagai ekspresi dan emosi yang dihadirkannya. Melalui simbol ekspresi dan emosi tersebut tersembunyi ajakan-ajakan untuk melakukan tindakan yang bertentangan dengan moral, misalnya seks bebas di kalangan remaja. Konteks peristiwa yang dihadirkan oleh kedua icon Line tersebut bukanlah aktivitas untuk konsumsi publik, bahkan juga tidak dalam ranah privasi antara pasangan suami dan istri. Namun sekarang bisa secara bebas dinikmati oleh semua umur bahkan anak-anak. Penelitian ini menganalisis konstruksi makna cinta yang dihadirkan dalam Stiker Line Brown Cony. Hasil studi menemukan adanya penyimpangan makna cinta sebab cinta tidak lagi dipandang suci. Pernikahan bukan satu-satunya cara untuk melampiaskan cinta, sehingga makna cinta menjadi bias dan bisa bergeser ke arah penyimpangan seksual bahkan seks bebas tanpa ikatan. Kontribusi penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menyadarkan khalayak mengenai penggunaan stiker Line yang disesuaikan dengan situasi dan kondisi lingkungan.

Instagram merupakan salah satu media sosial yang sering digunakan untuk berbagai kepentingan, termasuk kepentingan kelompok komunitas. Salah satu pengguna Instagram dalam aktivitas kelompok adalah Kelompok Shift Pemuda Hijrah di Kota Bandung. Kelompok itu menyebarluaskan konten mengenai jadwal dan rangkuman ceramah dengan menyisipkan komedi dan aksi dengan sudut pandang komedi dan nilai keagamaan. Akun @shiftmedia.id belum optimal dalam mengelola konten, karena hanya menggunakan cara manual dalam melihat interaksi yang terjadi. Dalam pengelolaannya, kelompok shift pemuda hijrah kurang memanfaatkan beberapa sektor, salah satunya tidak melakukan media monitoring dan tidak melakukan respon dengan cepat. Hal yang sudah mereka lakukan dalam tahap ini adalah menggunakan fitur live instagram untuk berinteraksi secara real time. Pada tahap engage, kelompok shift pemuda hijrah hanya memiliki influencer dari internal kepengurusannya. Untuk menentukan audience mereka menggunakan acuan dari segmentasi market dakwah yang sudah dibuat, sedangkan untuk menarik audience mereka hanya memperhatikan aspek aksi, komedi, dan nilai di dalam konten yang dibuat.

Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease with a high mortality rate among older people. Objective: The current study aims to investigate the death rate and related factors among hospitalized older patients with COVID-19 in Qazvin, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, 430 older inpatients with COVID-19 (Mean±SD age: 72.83±8.81) admitted to two hospitals in Qazvin, Iran were randomly selected. Their information was extracted from their electronic health records. Independent t-test, chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used for the data analysis. Findings: Hypertension (n=234, 54.4%), diabetes mellitus (n=148, 34.4%), and cardiovascular diseases (n=127, 29.4%) were the most prevalent comorbidities. Dyspnea (n=300, 69.8%), cough (n=232, 54.0%), fever (n=186, 43.3%), and general malaise (n=168, 39.1%) were the most frequent clinical symptoms. There was in-hospital mortality in 108 (25.1%) older inpatients. Multivariate regression results showed that the risk of in-hospital death was significantly related to the inpatients’ age (OR=1.037, 95%CI=1.007-1.068), white blood cell count (OR=1.187, 95%CI=1.114-1.264), hemoglobin level (OR=0.812, 95%CI=0.720-0.914), platelet count (OR=0.993, 95%CI=0.989-0.996), and oxygen saturation level (OR=0.950, 95%CI=0.967-0.932) at the time of admission. Conclusion: Older age, white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, oxygen saturation level, and platelet count are predictors of death among older inpatients with COVID-19. Identification of these risk factors can assist the healthcare providers for timely intervention for the prevention of death.

Authors: Shen Renrui
Published: October 2022

This review explores the effects of fructose on the hippocampus: hippocampal function and structure, hippocampal neurogenesis, and hippocampal cognitive function. First, this result confirms that excess fructose intake affects the microstructure of pathways connecting the hippocampus to other brain areas. Fructose has the potential to affect neurogenesis in the hippocampus, and a diet high in fructose can impair learning and memory, leading to cognitive impairment. However, further research is needed to apply animal experiments to humans in the future. The literature review focused on the effects of fructose, but a balanced intake of other nutrients also needed to be considered.

Published: October 2022

Introdução: O uso dos implantes osseointegrados para reabilitação de pacientes com dificuldade de adaptação de próteses convencionais mostra-se mais frequente a cada dia. Um grande grupo candidato à reabilitação com essa modalidade são os pacientes tratados para as neoplasias de cabeça e pescoço (CP). A irradiação na região de CP pode ser limitante para a instalação de implantes, porém a literatura apresenta evidências de técnicas e planejamentos favoráveis ao procedimento nesse grupo de pacientes. As técnicas menos traumáticas para intervenções na cavidade oral devem ser avaliadas, e os guias cirúrgicos para colocação de implantes podem ser aliados nesses procedimentos. Relato do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 64 anos, tratada com cirurgia, quimioterapia e radioterapia em cavidade oral para um carcinoma espinocelular (CEC) em língua e, em um segundo momento, diagnosticada e tratada com cirurgia para CEC em região de rebordo alveolar maxilar esquerdo por meio de hemipalatecmia, necessitava de reabilitação com implantes osseointegrados na região onde havia sido tratada com radiação primariamente. Realizou-se a cirurgia de colocação dos implantes com a tecnologia guiada para acarretar o mínimo trauma às estruturas bucais. Conclusão: O procedimento cirúrgico foi executado com sucesso. Atualmente, aguarda-se o período de osseointegração para a posterior reabilitação protética.

Published: October 2022

Food fortification is an effective intervention strategy for combating micronutrient deficiencies. Vitamin A can be fortified in a wide range of food vehicles. In this research work, vitamin A in the form of palmitate (VAP) have been microencapsulated by emulsion technology intended for fortification purposes. D-optimal mixture design approach was applied for optimizing the experimental process parameters. Detailed physico-chemical –thermal characterization of the optimized VAP emulsion was done. VAP content was kept constant as per fortification limit. Desirability ramp function graphs and lab experimentations showed maltodextrin (2.5-2.7), OSA starch (1.5-1.6), Tween 80 (1.5-1.7), Span 40 (2.0-2.2) in terms of percentages gave encapsulation efficiency in the range of 98.2-98.8. The optimized VAP emulsion showed particle size in the range of 940-942 nm, polydispersity index 0.41, zeta potential (ζ) value ranging from -31.25 to -32.01 mv; viscosity and interfacial tension was determined to be 1.561±0.03 mPaS and 22.6 mNm−1 respectively. Low temperature DSC studies (-5ºC to 90ºC) of VAP emulsion showed sharp endothermic peaks of vitamin A that disappeared with further elevation in temperature and some flat thermograms of other excipients. The vitamin A content in VAP emulsion was determined to be 88.45±0.03%, the content being reduced to 86.01±0.04% after storage under accelerated conditions (75ºC, 80% RH). The formulated VAP emulsion showed high encapsulation efficiency and significant stability of the emulsion system.

Struvite was a white crystal known as Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate Hexahydrate (MgNH4PO4.6H2O). In industry, struvite was found in the pipes crust which the hot fluid through passes. Struvite is often used as fertilizer because it contains phosphate content. The one of benefits of struvite crystals is slow release fertilizer, so it can be more durable, which is good for the growth of the plants. The Precipitation technology is currently one of the most widely applied technologies in struvite formation. The process of forming struvite is carried out by using a vertical reactor. The process started by mixing the equimolar solutions of MgCl2, NH4OH, and H3PO4 with a concentration ratio of 1: 1: 1 and 1: 1: 2. The process was carried out with the condition at the 30°C while the air inlet rate was 1.25 liters/min. The pH of the solution is pH 9 and controlled using NaOH solution. The process was carried out in the steady state condition. Then the solution was filtered and solid was dried at room temperature for 48 hours. From this study, the concentration ratio of 1:1:2 was obtained the best composition of struvite compared to the others ratio. The solid was analyzed by using the SEM-EDX instrument. The morphology of struvite was formed an irregular pyramid-like crystal or commonly referred to as an authorhombic shape.

The objective of this study is to investigate the wear mechanism of UHMWPE acetabular liner. There were three samples of acetabular liner with variations without crosslink, with crosslink doses of 50 kGy and 100 kGy which were subjected to a wear testing process. The wear test was carried out using a Tribometer wear testing machine with a total of 30,000 cycles and a load of 800N. Microstructure analysis was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the surface of the UHMWPE acetabular liner with the crosslink treatment is smoother than the untreated one. This shows that UHMWPE with crosslink treatment has a lower wear rate, where the greater the crosslink dose the lower the wear rate. The wear mechanism that occurs in this study is the third body abrasion which leads to adhesive wear.

Authors: Saputro W , Sentanuhady J , Edahwati L , Faizin A K
Published: October 2022

The dependence of the Indonesian people on the use of diesel fuel is still very high and is proven by the increasing consumption of diesel annually. Increasing diesel fuel consumption is a problem that must be anticipated because diesel is a fossil of fuel and non-renewable. One way to overcome this is to convert the use of fuel from fossil fuels to biofuels, such as biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel from palm oil is an option because Indonesia is the largest palm oil-producing country globally. Although theoretically, biodiesel can be used directly in diesel engines, there are very few studies related to the effects of using biodiesel and the potential for further development. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the combustion temperature of B100 and B20 fuels operated in long-term testing. This study uses two Kubota diesel engines with a cylinder volume of 376 ccs each. Each engine will be coupled with a generator to power the halogen lamps with a total power of 4000 W. The two engines will use different fuels, the first engine will be filled with B20 fuel, and the second engine will be filled with B100 fuel from palm oil. The engine rotational speed is constant at 2200 rpm, and the engine is operated for 300 hours without stopping. Every multiple of 4 hours, the combustion temperature measurement is carried out on the cylinder head, cylinder block, and exhaust gas pipe. The results show that the B100 engine produces lower combustion temperatures in the cylinder head, cylinder block, and pipe exhaust gas with 1.7%; 1.2%; and 2.7%, respectively.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate and compare the cutting tool performances represented by insert wear, surface roughness and cutting forces of an uncoated carbide (H13A) and three coated carbides GC2015 ( TiCN / Al2O3 / TiN ), GC1015 (TiN) and GC4215 ( TiCN / Al2O3 ) during the dry turning of AISI4140 steel. Turning was carried out during 5 minutes on cylindrical specimens (80 mm diameter and 400 mm cutting length) along with a depth of 0.5 mm, a feed rate of 0.08 mm/rev, and with a cutting speed of 350 m/min. The wear results show the effectiveness of both GC2015 and GC4215 cutting inserts where the flank wear rate of the monolayer insert (GC1015) reaches approximately 2 times that of the bilayer insert (GC4215) and 4-times that of the multilayer insert (GC2015), while insert H13A demonstrated the highest wear. Moreover, SEM analysis shows that abrasion, adhesion and chipping are the dominant wear mechanisms. The surface quality obtained with the coated GC2015 insert is found to be 1.38, 1.63 and 4.63 times better than those obtained with GC4215, GC1015 and H13A inserts respectively. Finally, the coated GC2015 (CVD) cutting insert is identified as the leading material in terms of cutting force as the results found show that the ratios are ( Ft-GC4215 / Ft-GC2015 ) = 1.05, ( Ft-GC1015 / Ft-GC2015 ) = 1.13 and ( Ft-H13A / Ft-GC2015 ) = 1.77.

Lung cancer (LC) is a commonly diagnosed malignant tumor that annually claims the lives of about 1.8 million peoples. In the Russian Federation, the group of tumors of the respiratory organs: trachea, bronchi and lung occupies the third place (9.4%, both sexes) in the structure of oncological morbidity after malignant neoplasms of the skin with melanoma (15.0%), breast (11.6% ). Up to 80% of detected malignant lung tumors are non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC). Among patients with NSCLC, stage IIIB-IV of the process is diagnosed in 70% of cases. The median survival of patients in this group is 4-5 months, and only 10% of them survive 1 year from the moment of diagnosis. This study explored the most advanced clinical developments in the treatment of metastatic NSCLC discussed at the ASCO Annual Congress – 2022: new treatment options for mNSCLC with KRAS mutations and other targeted therapy strategies for mNSCLC. The reviewed clinical developments on targeted combination therapy for metastatic NSCLC show promising results and an acceptable drug safety profile for its personalized administration to patients after progression under standard treatment conditions. Presented at ASCO – 2022, the results of clinical trials of the latest drug molecules indicate their serious antitumor efficacy. Personalized methods of selective suppression of specific effector pathways of oncogenesis have certain clinical advantages.

In recent years, the incidence of hemoblastoses has not changed significantly, but the mortality rate has decreased and the life expectancy of patients has increased. The prognosis of survival with these diseases using modern methods of treatment is relatively favorable. In most patients, after the use of standard first-line polychemotherapy, a cure is possible. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a modern and very effective method of treatment for relapsed or refractory course, the use of which is accompanied by an increase in the number of cured patients. However, an increase in the survival rate in lymphoproliferative diseases is associated with an increase in the likelihood of complications of previous cytostatic therapy, the frequency of patient disability or death. Among the many long-term complications of polychemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, pathology of the musculoskeletal system is revealed, which develops as a result of metabolic bone lesions – osteoporosis and associated low-energy fractures. The mechanisms of osteoporosis development in patients with lymphoproliferative diseases are not well understood, however, there are a number of literature sources in which a decrease in bone mineral density is presented as a consequence of a violation of the formation and destruction of bone tissue, increased bone resorption. In turn, the reasons for the decrease in bone mineral density are the use of cytostatic drugs, glucocorticosteroids, nutritional deficiency, physical inactivity. In this context, the problems of diagnosing and preventing osteoporosis seem to be very relevant for modern oncohematology. The purpose of this literature review is to identify the main patterns of bone tissue processes in patients with lymphoproliferative diseases.

Background: Early detection and appropriate management play a key role in reducing the morbidity and mortality of acute heart failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Many prognostic factors have been assessed till date. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic effect of NLR on in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute heart failure due to acute anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction.
Methods: The present study was carried out in the Department of cardiology, Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital, Dhaka from January 2020 to December 2020. A total of 88 cases of acute heart failure due to acute anterior ST elevation Myocardial infarction patients are enrolled in this study. NLR was estimated and patients were divided into two groups based on the NLR (Group I NLR <6; Group II NLR ≥6). Then in-hospital outcome was observed and compared between two groups.
Results: In-hospital mortality and length of hospital stay were higher among NLR ≥6 patients with statistical significance (11.6% vs. 40.9%, p<0.001). These patients also had high incidence of cardiogenic shock (25% vs. 43%, p>0.072), Arrhythmia (18% vs. 34%, p>0.089) but without statistically significant difference.
Conclusion: In this study, we observed that in-hospital outcomes were worse in patients with acute heart failure due to acute anterior myocardial infarction with NLR ≥6. So NLR can be used as a predictor of outcome in acute heart failure patients. This association is independent of conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has shown to be a safe and effective procedure for treatment of symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) for more than 20 years with results similar to those of surgical myectomy. The first septal branch of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is located and 96% alcohol is instilled to induce an artificial myocardial infarction and necrosis at the base of the hypertrophied septum. Now we present our first experience of a patient with HOCM with a very high left ventricular outflow tract gradient who had successful alcohol septal ablation.

Published: October 2022

Background: Pneumonia is a recognized leading killer disease in under 5 children not only in Bangladesh but also in all developing countries. The presence of lower chest indrawing means that the child has severe pneumonia. This study aimed to determine the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of chest indrawing in the diagnosis of severe pneumonia.
Methods: This analytical study was conducted in the department of pediatrics, Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barisal, from January 2015 to December 2015. A total of 100 cases of severe pneumonia aged from 2 months to 5 years and similar numbers of suitably matched controls who fulfilled inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. A detailed history was taken, a thorough physical examination was done, data were recorded in a preformed questionnaire and were analyzed using a scientific calculator.
Results: Out of 100 cases, 80 (80%) and 100 controls, 72 (72%) were in the age group of 2 months to 1 year. Fast breathing was present in 98 (98%) cases and 88 (88%) controls. Chest indrawing was present in 56 (56%) cases and 42 (42%) controls. Roentgenographically, 44 (44%) cases revealed labor/segmental consolidation, and bilateral patchy consolidation was present in 56 (56%) cases. Among the control group, 28 (28%) patients had hyperlucency of peripheral lung fields in their chest X-rays. In this study, it was found that sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of chest indrawing in the diagnosis of severe pneumonia was 56%, 58%, 57.1% and 56.8% respectively.
Conclusion: Chest indrawing alone is not a highly sensitive tool to predict severe pneumonia but in rural areas where X-ray facilities are not available, chest indrawing may play an important role in identifying children with possible severe pneumonia.
