Published: August 2022

Objectives: The aim of the study was to predict the outcome and mortality of patients with sepsis in a tertiary care hospital using defined scores such as APACHE II, SAPS II, and SOFA scores.
Methods: This prospective and observational study was carried out in intensive care units (ICUs) setup of multispecialty hospital in Western Maharashtra. Sample size was 90 patients with sepsis who were admitted to ICU (surgical) directly or indirectly, during the duration of 1 1/2 month. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee and written informed consent from all the patients or their guardians/legal representatives. The detailed history, clinical examination, and all the relevant laboratory investigations were done including blood culture. The parameters as mentioned in APACHEII, SAPS II, and SOFA scores were recorded daily. For statistical analysis, Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, MannWhitney test, and Binary Logistic Regression were used. SPSS software was used for analysis.
Results: Out of these 90 patients, 64 (71.1%) were males and 26 (28.8%) were females. Mean age of the study population was 61.86 years. Mean duration of stay in the ICU was found out to be 3.33 days. Culture positivity was found in 53 cases (58.8%). Gram-negative organisms were responsible for 37 (69.8%) cases while Gram-positive organisms were responsible for 16 (30.1%) cases. Statistics of various variables among cases and other detailed results were studied. SOFA score (p=0.046) and APACHE II score (p=0.00042) have been found to be statistically significant predictors of “Death”; higher the SOFA score and APACHE II score-more probability of patient dying. However, mortality as per SAPS II (p=0.202) was not found to be statistically significant predictor of death.
Conclusions: APACHE II, SAPS II, and SOFA scores can be used for prediction of mortality by using appropriate statistical tests. People of older age, male gender, and preexisting chronic health conditions are chiefly prone to develop Septic shock; hence, prevention strategies should be targeted at these susceptible populations. The epidemiology of Septic shock in developing countries warrants greater attention in the future studies.

Objectives: Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a common and global problem that contributes to significant morbidity and mortality, prolongs hospital stay, and consequently increases health-care costs. Bacterial resistances pose a challenge and complicated the SSI treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the bacterial profile and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of isolates among patients diagnosed with surgical site infection. Methods: Patients who underwent either elective or emergency surgical procedures were enrolled in this study. For those who developed surgical site infections, specimens from the surgical site were collected and processed at the microbiology laboratory at the tertiary health-care center, Ahmedabad. Results: Out of the 5003 patients, 34 developed SSI. In our study, 37 bacteria were isolated from 34 samples subjected to culture. Thirty-two samples showed monomicrobial growth and two showed polymicrobial growth. Among them, 14 (38%) were Gram-positive cocci, out of which 12 (85.7%) were Staphylococcus aureus and 2 (14.3%) were Enterococci spp. and 23 (62%) were Gram-negative bacilli, there were 21 (91.3%) enterobacteriaceae, out of which 5 (23.8%) were Escherichia coli, 1 (4.8%) were Proteus mirabilis, 15 (71.4%) Klebsiella spp. and 02 (8.7%) non-fermenters of which Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. Conclusions: Gram-negative bacteria were the most dominant isolates from surgical sites in the study area. Among them, Klebsiella spp. were the most common bacteria isolated from surgical site specimens. In our study, there is high antibiotic resistance observed which raises serious concerns and mandates strict antibiotic policy as well as antimicrobial stewardship.

What can do one of the ways to increase student interest in reading by increasing the collection of books in the Kerinci IAIN library. But so far, determining the collection of books to be added is still done manually, so it takes a long time besides that the process of adding books which refers to the statistics of borrowing the most books, makes the collection of books less diverse. For this reason, a book collection clustering method is needed using the k-Means method to obtain optimal results. Book collections are grouped into 3 clusters that are, considerations that need to be added, priorities to be added, and not need to be added can be a reference for librarians in maximizing the process of adding book collections.

Published: August 2022

Abstract: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) play important role in determining the quality of wastewater. Hence it is necessary to calculate COD and BOD of water before setting up of wastewater treatment plant. Algae has been used for decades for various purposes. It is one of the important characteristics is to nitrogen, phosphorus etc., which are harmful for drinking and other purposes but they act as food for algae. Thus in this study COD and BOD analysis is done for sterilized and non-sterilized wastewater after and before treating it with algae in inverse fluidization under aerobic condition, for different time interval and found that percentage reduction in COD and BOD for sterilized wastewater gives greater value than non-sterilized water the reason for this difference being the decrease in the competition between algae and other micro-organism which are present in raw wastewater and COD % reduction is 65-70 % and BOD % reduction is 68.75- 70.5%.Organic and inorganic substances which are released into the environment as a result of domestic, agricultural and industrial water activities lead to pollution.

Published: August 2022

To accelerate the handling of the spread of Covid-19 in Indonesia. Vaccination in Indonesia has begun to be marked by President Jokowi as the recipient of the first dose of vaccine, which after two weeks was followed by a second dose of vaccination. Proof as a person who has taken the Covid-19 vaccine is the receipt of the vaccination certificate. Ideally, the implementation of vaccination consists of providing adequate facilities and providing the widest possible vaccination for free, as well as opening access to vaccination services, for example through clinics that have not been used optimally. In this case, a more in-depth study is needed to determine the extent to which the obligation to show vaccination certificates in public spaces and the legal problems that arise are important. The vaccine certificate requirement policy will begin trials on August 10-16, 2021 in four cities, including: Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, and Semarang. The formulation of the problem in this research will focus on what the impact is felt by the community, what are the problems and regulations that explain the policies issued, regarding Indonesia, what actions are taken to implement vaccine certificates as a requirement for access to public spaces, which countries have implemented policies related to this and what is the view of Islamic law regarding this policy. The method used in this study uses a qualitative approach and also Robert N. Entman's framing analysis using the online media that the researchers chose in this study, KOMPAS.com, with news uploaded to the media's online news portal. The results obtained from this study indicate that the implementation of the policy on vaccine certificate requirements in the public sphere is considered to violate the principles of justice and discrimination. Judging from the uneven distribution of vaccines in various regions and the difficulty of access and reach of the Covid-19 vaccine.

The Influence of Pan-Turkism on the Political Identity Formation of the Turkic States of Central Asia in the XXI Century (Part 1)
Authors: Shumilov M. M.
Published: August 2022

The negative tone of statements about pan-Turkism and Turkey’s policy in the post-Soviet space in the Central Asian region prevails in the Russian media. Indeed, pan-Turkism is a strong factor in the emerging statehood of the newly independent states of the region. At the same time, and it is important to emphasize this, it is not the only and far from defining one. His influence manifested itself mainly in the first half of the 1990s. All the authors note the role of Turkey at the initial stage of the sovereignty of the countries of this region. Then, first, due to lack of resources, its influence in Central Asia began to wane. New players appeared in the region, representing the interests of Western countries and China. Russian economic, military, and political influence also became more stable and weightier. Turkey’s attempts in the XXI century to achieve new successes in promoting its interests based on the values of Turkism did not lead to the expected results. Economic and military-political competitors continued to outpace it, and their successes encouraged Ankara to make measurements during its policy. She became more and more realistic and pragmatic. For a few reasons, during the first decade of the new century, the Turkish upper classes somewhat cooled down to pan-Turkism. At the same time, the elites of the Central Asian countries got a taste of state nationalism and, cultivating their own values, emphasized their sovereignty and the right to a multi-vector foreign policy. Overcoming their dependence on Moscow, they also demonstrated their unwillingness to follow in the wake of Ankara’s interests. In the conditions оf De-globalization and fragmentation that began after the global crisis of 2008–2009 pan-Turkism is once again becoming an important factor in the sovereign positioning of the Turkic-speaking republics of Central Asia. At the same time, it has ceased to act as an instrument of Turkish expansion and today represents a new phenomenon — “collective pan-Turkism”, which testifies to the common interest and solidarity aspirations of its participants. Russia, China and other non-regional actors will have to reckon with this circumstance in the future.

Authors: Oliveira Nerivaldo Lopes de , Carvalho Fabrício Aarão Freire
Published: August 2022

O artigo tem por objetivo analisar como o surgimento do conceito do padrão de qualidade da educação na Constituição de 1988 configurou conquistas para a afirmação da educação como direito social, destacando os avanços na definição conceitual do termo expressos em diferentes marcos legais e os desafios em sedimentar-se em meio a sucessivos ataques perpetrados pelo Estado. A pesquisa, de base documental e bibliográfica, analisa diferentes legislações mostrando os caminhos percorridos na caracterização e para materializar a qualidade da educação ao longo dos anos. Aponta como instrumentos inicialmente pensados para garantir a melhoria da qualidade como o Processo Nacional de Avaliação e o Custo Aluno Qualidade foram objeto de ataque do Estado que levaram ao desvirtuamento do primeiro e à revogação do segundo. Evidencia como o ataque perpetrado pelo Estado brasileiro no ano de 2016 compromete o percentual de investimento do Produto Interno Bruto em educação, previsto no Plano Nacional de Educação. Conclui reconhecendo os avanços na caracterização da qualidade da educação com a última vitória da sociedade no ano de 2020 e aponta para os desafios impostos pelo ajuste fiscal imposto em 2016, mostrando que é urgente e necessário continuar a luta organizada por uma educação de qualidade.
Saber, poder y nuevas formas de lucha en Foucault
Authors: Giraldo Díaz Reinaldo , Nieto Gómez Libia Esperanza , Cabrera Otálora Martha Isabel , Zúñiga Mosquera Óscar Emerson
Published: August 2022

En este libro derivado de investigación, titulado Saber, Poder y Nuevas Formas de Lucha en Michel Foucault se sustenta que las investigaciones de Michel Foucault intentan desenmascarar el estatuto del sujeto moderno, el sujeto constituyente, para lo cual realiza desplazamientos permanentes que le permiten abrir su reflexión a una búsqueda que concluye con la propuesta de una ética como arte de vivir que emerge como un ejercicio de resistencia al poder político y a los mecanismos de sujeción en Occidente. El poder y la resistencia son preocupaciones constantes que aparecen a lo largo de su itinerario filosófico de distintas formas. Sus elaboraciones sobre las relaciones de poder no lo llevan a plantear la imposibilidad de escapar a las relaciones de poder, a los micropoderes y macropoderes que regulan la vida. El pensador francés no hace la teorización de un poder esencialmente represivo del que es imposible escapar. La hipótesis que orienta este libro considera que Foucault responde a las preguntas ¿por qué resistir? ¿por qué oponerse a la sumisión? ¿por qué es preferible la lucha a la sumisión? sin introducir nociones normativas que permitan decir qué está mal en el moderno régimen de producción de la verdad y por qué oponerse a él. La problematización ética le permite al filósofo francés dar cuenta de la condición humana en la modernidad sin recurrir a un criptonormativismo autorreferencial.

Published: August 2022

Since the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia, the education process has been carried out online for all levels. However, this policy cannot be applied to pesantren educational institutions that continue to conduct offline learning. The question is how can Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) survive the Covid-19 pandemic ?. There are institutions that play an active role in controlling and preventing it. Nahdlatul Ulama' (NU) as the largest community organization in Indonesia, has aÂ Rabithah Ma'ahid Islamiyyah(RMI) which focuses on sheltering thousands of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) throughout Indonesia. This article focuses on looking at the role of RMI in assisting Islamic boarding schools in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. By using a qualitative-descriptive approach that bases data on interviews, observation and documentation, this article shows that RMI has an important role in assisting Islamic boarding schools against Covid-19. First, at the prevention stage, RMI PBNU gave an appeal through official notifications to all pesantren, socializing health protocols with flayers, pamphlets, etc. Second, at the detect and respond stage, RMI PBNU implemented a task force training program (SATGAS) for handling COVID-19 at Islamic boarding schools, providing virus detection machines (PCR machines), together with the Nahdlatul Ulama Doctors Association (PDNU) accompanying COVID-19 cases in Islamic boarding schools.Â

SPIRITUALITAS MASYARAKAT MODERN DALAM TASAWUF BUYA HAMKA
Authors: Nur Azizah  , Miftakhul Jannah
Published: August 2022

Hamka's modern Sufism is very important for this modern era, because modern society is now trapped by a rational mindset and leaves the spiritual dimension, giving birth to a materialistic and dry lifestyle of spiritual values. This paper aims to examine the role of spirituality which is an important part of Hamka's Sufism as an alternative solution to the current humanitarian crisis. This type of research is library research, namely research through literature review or literature that presents material related to the research theme in the form of books, journals and reports from previous research results. In his modern Sufism, Hamka wants to interpret Sufism which is an old scientific discipline with a modern meaning, which is relevant today as an effort to make happiness in modern society dry from spiritual elements. Because the essence of Sufism according to Hamka is the purification of the soul and avoidance of desires, misery, and something bad. Hamka's modern Sufism thinking is very important and deserves to be used as a reference for the world today, because society has been influenced by materialistic Western traditions, in the sense that Muslim communities only think and act on worldly aspects compared to the hereafter
ISLAMIC ECOTHEOLOGY: UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF KHALIFAH AND THE ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Rakhmat Aulia
Published: August 2022

This paper discusses the relationship between Islamic theology and environmental ethics. Based on the development of the discourse on an environmental problem that arises in the public sphere, Islamic theology as the divine discourse is required to participate in overcoming it at the conceptual level starting from the relationship between humans and the environment. The concept of human in Islamic theological discourse is defined as the center of universal consciousness through the concept of the vicegerent of God on earth (khalifatullah fil ard). Such a concept is often misunderstood as the legitimization of the supremacy of human power over other creatures on earth (anthropocentrism). Therefore, the objective of the study is to enrich studies on Islamic Eco-theology, especially related to the concept of khalifa and its relation with responsibility towards nature. To conduct the research, this paper applied an intertextual approach to extract and reveal the meaning of khalifa and its relation with responsibility in classical Muslim works of tafsir, philosophy, theology, Sufism, and theosophy. The result of the discussion shows that the meaning of humans as the vicegerent of God in the world is not the legitimacy of total mastery but a responsibility that must be fulfilled.

Oggigiorno si e continuamente esposti a sostanze potenzialmente tossiche
per la salute, come nel caso dei composti organici volatili (COV); in
questo lavoro sono state individuate le origini di queste sostanze, i
possibili danni derivati dall’esposizione con esse, oltre ad alcune
tipologie di trattamento per il loro abbattimento. Ci si e soprattutto
soffermati sul confronto tra una tecnologia biologica convenzionale, con
filtro biotrickling (BTF) ed una innovativa, rappresentata da un
fotobioreattore tubolare algale-batterico (TPBR), prendendo in esame
l’abbattimento del toluene, uno dei COV più diffusi, appartenente alla
famiglia dei BTEX. Il BTF ha supportato efficienze di rimozione medie
vicine a quelle ottenute nel TPBR al carico in ingresso più elevato e al
tempo di permanenza del gas più basso. Il BTF risulta influenzato dalla
presenza di  metaboliti secondari, a questo proposito, integrazione
fotosintetica di O2 e CO2 il consumo di microalghe ha migliorato le
prestazioni di abbattimento del toluene e la stabilità del processo.
Mixotrophs generate carbon tipping points under warming
Authors: Wieczynski Daniel , Moeller Holly , Gibert Jean-Philippe
Published: August 2022

Mixotrophs are ubiquitous and integral to microbial food webs, but their
impacts on the dynamics and functioning of broader ecosystems are
largely unresolved. Here, we show that mixotrophy produces a unique,
dynamic type of food web module that exhibits unusual ecological
dynamics, with surprising consequences for carbon flux under warming. We
find that mixotrophs generate alternative stable carbon states across
temperatures—including an autotrophy-dominant carbon sink state, a
heterotrophy-dominant carbon source state, and cycling between these
two. Moreover, warming always shifts this mixotrophic system from a
carbon sink state to a carbon source state, but increasing nutrients
erases early warning signals of this transition and expands hysteresis.
This suggests that mixotrophs can generate critical carbon tipping
points under warming that will be more abrupt and less reversible when
combined with increased nutrient levels, having widespread implications
for ecosystem functioning in the face of rapid global change.

В статье рассматривается ресурс концепции эмоционального образования в процессе воспитания и формирования личности. Выделены проблемы, мешающие эффективной реализации вопросов воспитания в системе массового образования, подчеркивается важность выстроенной системы образовательной и воспитательной деятельности как единого и неразрывного процесса. Представлены принципы, на которых строится система воспитания, разработанная в концепции эмоционального образования: слияние обучения и воспитания через интеграцию урочной и внеурочной деятельности; новое содержание образования, в основе которого лежит качественный баланс естественно-научного и художественно-эстетического образования; многоуровневая модель построения образовательного процесса как эффективная модель интеграции общего и дополнительного образования, создающая пространство для проявления и развития индивидуальных способностей учащихся. В процессе создания эффективной системы воспитания также важны позиция педагога; разнообразие форм, методов, средств воспитательной работы, основанной на самоуправлении; формирование уклада школы, базирующегося на создании традиции и символики. Предложенная система образования и воспитания подтвердила свою высокую эффективность в условиях многолетней педагогической практики.

The article considers the resource of the concept of emotional education in the process of education and personality formation. The problems that hinder the effective implementation of education issues in the system of mass education are highlighted, the importance of the built-in system of educational and upbringing activities as a single and inseparable process is emphasized. The principles on which the upbringing system is built, developed in the concept of emotional education, are presented: the fusion of teaching and upbringing through the integration of classroom and extracurricular activities; new content of education, which is based on a qualitative balance of natural science and art and aesthetic education; a multi-level model for building the educational process as an effective model for integrating general and additional education, creating space for the manifestation and development of individual abilities of students. In the process of creating an effective system of education, the position of the teacher is also noted; a variety of forms, methods, means of educational work based on self-government; the formation of the way of the school, based on the formation of tradition and symbolism. The proposed system of education and upbringing has confirmed its high efficiency in the conditions of many years of teaching practice.

Tissue culture techniques’ have become useful technologies for producing disease & pest free seed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in the developed world. However, these techniques have yet to be standardized for locally produced potato varieties in Kenya.  Developing countries can also use these innovations for rapid multiplication of popular local seed material through rooted apical cuttings generated from either plantlets or micro tubers.  In vitro experiments were therefore conducted to determine the optimum concentration of sucrose and gibberellic acid for growth and survival of local potato varieties, namely, Shangi, Unica and Wanjiku.  The explants were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with sucrose at a concentration of 20, 30 and 40 gL-1, while gibberellic acid was applied at a concentration of 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 mgL-1. The study was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD).  MS Medium with sucrose 40 gL-1and gibberellic acid 0.5 mgL-1 significantly enhanced shoot length, with the longest shoot  (10.3cm) being recorded for Wanjiku.  The same treatment also gave the highest plant survival of 90%. Murashige and Skoog media, added with 0.5 mgL-1 gibberellic acid along with 40 gL-1 sucrose is recommended for generating wanjiku, unica and shangi apical rooted cuttings because it gave the best improvement of in-vitro clonal growth.

Zambia like many other countries has not been spared from the destructive impacts of climate change. Climate change awareness creation is pivotal to adaptation and mitigation strategies. Effective dissemination of knowledge among the citizens during formal school years and later on in teacher training programs is crucial to that end. This paper investigates the quality of climate change education that students receive in secondary schools as well as the adequacy of the content taught from the teachers’ and pupils’ perspectives. It further investigated teachers’ and pupils’ opinions on the effects of embracing compulsory climate change education in secondary schools and teacher training colleges and universities. It is based on responses from secondary school students and teachers in Lusaka District. A descriptive survey design utilizing a structured questionnaire was administered to 152 randomly selected respondents drawn from 8 secondary schools within Lusaka. Data analysis involved chi-square tests and thematic analysis of respondents’ qualitative responses. Results also show that the level of climate change knowledge among secondary school teachers in Lusaka was not significantly low (χ2 = 9.488, n = 152, df = 4). Factors such as tertiary level qualification and teaching subject combination emerged as some of the major reasons for varying degrees of climate change knowledge among teachers and pupils respectively. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education should undertake climate change capacity building among teachers through the introduction of compulsory climate change training programs for all teachers at the college or university level, as well as comprehensive and compulsory climate change subject training at secondary school. Curriculum formulation agencies such Curriculum Development Centre and the Ministry of Education should work with teachers and university lecturers to come up with a detailed but easy-to-understand climate change curriculum content.

Power is a crucial component for India's economic development. Advancement of productivity expansion will be contingent on a financially and financially successful electricity industry capable of attracting additional investment. Generating capacity inside the electric power industry are strongly reliant on the off-taker's, transportation, and distributing organizations' reputation. In generally, electromagnetic electricity is generated in power plants that are positioned far from where the users live. It is then distributed to users via a vast transmission and distribution. The modern power generation system is based on Alternating Current (AC). The purpose of this article is to conduct a comparison analysis of the results at load locations in the voltage and low power distribution channels.
¿Existe una filosofía china? Apropiaciones e inversiones en Breve historia de la filosofía china de Féng Yŏulán
Authors: Herrera Julieta Marina
Published: August 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la apropiación y la inversión de motivos propios de la concepción europea moderna de la filosofía en Breve historia de la filosofía china, de Féng Yŏulán, en el contexto del surgimiento de un movimiento intelectual en China que incorporó las prácticas, el lenguaje y los fines de esa disciplina en Europa y cuya preocupación central fue el problema de la legitimidad de una filosofía china. El análisis de las operaciones argumentativas de Féng Yŏulán en esta obra destaca el carácter estratégico y provisorio de las dicotomías, como aquellas entre lo filosófico y lo religioso o entre lo místico y lo racional, que han sido el margen y la silueta de la formación de una noción presuntamente esencial de la filosofía en la modernidad. Esta concepción tuvo un impacto drástico en el pensamiento chino del siglo XX y sigue teniendo un peso considerable en la idea globalmente aceptada de la filosofía en el mundo actual.
Australia’s Policy Successes in Timor-Leste
Authors: Fernandes Clinton
Published: August 2022

An independent Timor-Leste posed a dilemma for Australian foreign policy. On the one hand, Australia led the multinational military coalition that restored peace in 1999, and had an obvious interest in ensuring that its newest neighbour was self-reliant and stable. On the other hand, independence negated three decades of Australian diplomatic effort to control the oil and gas resources of the Timor Sea. Accordingly, Australia accepted Timor-Leste’s formal independence but tried to influence key aspects of its internal and external policies using foreign aid, espionage and other instruments of statecraft.
