Published: March 2024

The urease enzyme, found in plants, fungi and bacteria, plays a crucial role in catalyzing the hydrolysis of urea, a process integral to microbial metabolism. Its ureolytic activities have garnered significant attention for their impact on agriculture and the health of living organisms. Notably, urease activity in the human stomach, urinary tract and animal cells can lead to pathogenic outcomes. Schiff bases, characterized by their carbonyl-type imine or azomethine linkage, are recognized for their diverse biological effects, including anti-urease activity. Additionally, the metal complexes derived from the Schiff bases demonstrate controlled urease inhibition activity, influenced by factors such as the type of metal, its oxidation state and the coordination environment. This inhibition occurs through the interaction of the Schiff base ligand with the nickel containing active site of urease or the protein sphere surrounding the metal, disrupting the ureolytic mechanism. In this review, the utilization of Schiff bases and their metal complexes in urease inhibition is highlighted as explored by various research groups.

Synovial chondromatosis is a benign condition which arises from synovial membrane or bursae around the joints. Joint abnormalities in the form of arthritic or mechanical conditions such as detachment of osseocartilaginous fragments from the articular surface are its secondary associations. Rarely there maybe involvement of the Baker’s cyst. Here we report a case in which a 60-year-old female came with complaints of pain, swelling and restriction of movement of right knee joint for the past one year. After careful clinical and radiological examination, it was diagnosed as Baker’s cyst complicated by synovial chondromatosis. After the diagnosis the patient underwent the following procedures: open synovectomy, cyst removal and thorough joint debridement. Synovial chondromatosis was confirmed histopathologically. Secondary synovial chondromatosis has features of osteoarthritic changes, lack of extensive synovial proliferation and complicated Baker's cyst which is not seen in primary synovial chondromatosis.

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is caused by metaplasia of the synovium into chondrocytes and is a rare benign disorder.[1,2] Primary synovial chondromatosis (PSC) is a self-limited process that occurs in an otherwise normal joint.[3] When synovial chondromatosis develops in a joint previously affected with disease, often posttraumatic or degenerative osteoarthritis, it is called as secondary synovial chondromatosis.[4] SC may involve any joint, but the most common joint involved is knee joint followed by hip joint, and small joints of the hand and wrist. Least involvement is seen in elbow and shoulder joint. [5] The disease is categorised into three phases according to Milligram classification: active intrasynovial disease without any loose bodies observed in the early phase, active disease and loose bodies observed in the transitional phase, and multiple loose bodies without any intrasynovial disease observed in the late phase.

In orthopaedic practice, popliteal cysts are common occurrence; many of them are associated with degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis. The differential diagnoses become more complex when loose bodies and calcifications are noted within the joint on a radiograph. Here in, we are presenting a case of Baker’s cyst with synovial chondromatosis of knee treated by surgical excision and confirmed by histopathology.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF ISLAMIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN MALANG WITHIN THE TRADITIONAL ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN THE MILLENNIAL ERA
Authors: Walid Muhammad
Published: March 2024

Changes in Islamic elementary schools (as known as madrasah ibtidaiyah) are a response to the strong demands and pressures in the world of education today. The increasingly open competition encourages madrasah ibtidaiyah to change the direction of its learning and management model, which is no longer top-down, but more accommodating. This research was conducted at MIN Malang 1 and MIN 2 Druju Malang Regency. Research conducted between 2018-2019 involved many informants, including the head of the madrasa, deputy head of the madrasa, teachers, educational staff, and guardians of students. The data used as the basis for analysis are the results of observations, interviews, and documentation studies. From the data analysis, it was found that changes in madrasah ibtidaiyah occurred not only in the curriculum aspect, but also in institutional management in general. This allows madrasah ibtidaiyah to compete with other educational institutions because they have adopted an interactive-accommodative education system by juxtaposing two kinds of education; religion and general. This study confirms that the changes that occur in madrasah ibtidaiyah are not only aimed at increasing competence so that they are able to compete openly with various existing educational institutions, but also in order to show themselves as the main choice of students in obtaining knowledge that is not limited to religious knowledge. However, changes like this have the opportunity to forget the substance of the change itself, namely the presence of a new form of education that is more accommodating and responsive. Therefore, a madrasah ibtidaiyah management model is needed that is able to respond to scientific and social challenges comprehensively in the future.

Authors: Sulistyowati Endang , Mawardi Dona Ningrum
Published: March 2024

The combination of culture and mathematics can provide more meaningful mathematics learning so that the abstraction of mathematical material can be more easily understood by students. However, previous research investigating the effectiveness of implementing ethnomathematics-based learning in elementary schools has shown mixed results. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of ethnomathematics-based learning on the mathematical abilities of elementary school students. The method used in this study is meta-analysis. This study analyzed 13 effect sizes from 12 primary studies that met the inclusion criteria. The results of the study based on the moderator variable showed that the effectiveness of applying ethnomathematics-based learning to elementary students' mathematical abilities differed significantly based on the year of publication (Qb = 10.22; p = 0.00), but there was no significant difference based on the class level variable (Qb = 1.98; p = 0.16) and the sample size variable (Qb = 0.30; p = 0.58). These findings provide evidence that ethnomathematics-based learning can be effective in improving elementary school students' mathematical abilities. However, the varying results between studies could be due to other factors to consider. The results of this study can be a basis for policy makers and education practitioners to choose the right learning approach in improving the quality of learning mathematics in elementary schools. Further understanding of the factors that influence the effectiveness of ethnomathematics-based learning is also important for the development of a more optimal approach in this context.

Fatigue is characterized by a shift in both physical and mental state that lowers one's capacity for and endurance during work. It was established from the initial survey that 5 employees (or 50%) had moderate category fatigue and 5 employees (or 50%) had severe category fatigue. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the link between work tiredness and both physical and mental burden. A cross sectional analytic observational research design was adopted by for this study, and simple random sampling was used for the sampling method. The total sample population of this study are 87 workers. The NASA-TLX questionnaire, a reaction timer, and the 10-beat method of measuring pulse were all employed in this study. The Somers' test and the ordinal logistic regression test were employed as data analysis approaches. The findings of the bivariate analysis using the Somers'd test revealed a significant association between physical workload and work fatigue with a p-value of 0.000. According to the findings of the multivariate study, physical workload had a 7,028 times greater impact on job fatigue.

Anemia is one of the non-communicable diseases that causes anemia sufferers to experience symptoms in the form of pallor, lethargy, dizziness or headache, and firefly eyes. The incidence of anemia worldwide is still high, it is estimated that as many as 1.3 billion people in the world suffer from anemia with a prevalence of 32.9% in 2018. Anemia in farmers is one of the health problems experienced by the residents of Linggasari Village, the incidence of anemia in farmers can be caused by various factors such as environmental factors and nutritional intake factors. The researcher intends to determine the risk factors for the incidence of anemia in farmers in Linggasari Village, Banyumas Regency. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of variables of education, income, length of service, history of pesticide exposure, use of PPE, nutrient intake, and helminthiasis on the incidence of anemia in farmers. This research method is quantitative research with a control case approach. The results of the analysis showed that the variable use of PPE was the most influencing factor in the incidence of anemia in farmers p value 0.023 OR 4.817 (1.247 – 18.605). Variables that do not affect the incidence of anemia in farmers are vairabel income  p value 0.854, education p value 0.654, service period p value 0.608, nutrient intake p  value 0.563, history of pesticide exposure p value 0.508,   and disability p value  0.070).

The scientific identification of natural fallen trees in tropical forests is complex due to the lack of fertile material in field collection. The study evaluated the use of near-infrared spectroscopy with Fourier-transform (FT-NIR) in the discrimination of wood from fallen trees of
the Lecythidaceae family. Seven trees were collected in the Central Amazonian region (Brazil), from which 63 specimens were prepared from the wood, and NIR spectra were obtained on different wood surfaces (total 756 spectra). Chemometric models were developed with a spectral data set, and
the Mahalanobis algorithm was applied. The discriminant model with 2nd derivative spectra improved the identification capacity, resulting in errors < 5% in the identification of genus Couratari (3 ssp.), Eschweilera (2 ssp.), Holopyxidium (1 sp.) and
Lecythis (1 sp.). The comparison of the spectral signatures of samples of fallen trees and wood library revealed that even when wood was exposed to environmental weathering, around 50% of the original bands were preserved, favouring discrimination at the genus level. The accuracy
of the chemometric models developed indicates the applicability of FT-NIR spectroscopy integrative in identifying fallen trees from the Lecythidaceae family in the tropical forests.
Intellectual capital in Galician common forests

Forest communities around the world are becoming increasingly involved in sustainable forest management and intellectual capital view can orient the outcome. This paper aims to identify the principal components of intellectual capital, in its three dimensions; human, structural and
relational (internal and external) capital, and their relationships in the governance of communal forests. Focusing on Galician communal forests, in north-west Spain, a survey was conducted among community representatives, analysing using principal components how they structure their intellectual
capital, and based on these, through an oblimin (0.5) rotation. Linear correlations among these components were assessed to determine the relationship of the components with each other. Galician communal forests present a composition of intellectual capital components which differ from those
of for-profit firms and are closer to those of other social entities. The complex interrelations between the different elements of intellectual capital suggest different typologies of forest communities.
An integrated ecosystem service-based approach for the sustainable management of forested islands in South Korea

Implementing sustainable island forest management policies requires categorizing the islands into groups based on key indicators and establishing a consistent management system. This study proposes a novel framework to support an ecosystem service-based approach to managing forested
islands in South Korea. First, a typology of six forested island categories is established based on varying extents of natural vegetation cover (as a percentage of forest cover) and connectivity to the mainland. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis was conducted with island forest
experts to identify priority ecosystem services (ESs) for the sustainable management of each island type. On connected islands, provisioning services (natural resources and natural medicines) are more important than regulatory (erosion control) or supporting services (genetic diversity). On
unconnected islands, particularly those with a small proportion of natural vegetation, regulatory services (erosion control) require a greater emphasis on management. Since Type 3 islands require urgent management as connectivity to the mainland makes natural vegetation=sparse island forest
ecosystems vulnerable to anthropogenic activities, the land-use scoring method was performed on Jin-do. Comparisons between the AHP-derived expert demand for key island ESs and the spatial distribution of ES supply potential revealed mismatches between supply and demand for erosion control,
freshwater supply and habitat provision. The framework developed in this study can help guide policy and decision-making processes and indicate where interventions should be focused to achieve sustainable island management.

This study estimated stumpage, Social Responsibility Agreement (SRA) and carbon revenue loss from Ghana’s informal timber sector. Secondary data on confiscated timber were collected from 13 District Forest offices from 2020 to 2022. The timber species volumes were computed with
their corresponding stumpage, SRA, and potential carbon revenue. The results indicate that US$ 14,670.73 was lost as stumpage revenue between 2020 and 2022 in the study Forest Districts. SRA revenu e of US$ 733.54 originally destined for the development of forest fringe communities
was also lost. For the study period, the highest potential carbon revenue loss (US$ 37,572) was recorded in the year 2020. The findings have implications for the country’s forest sector emission reduction target under the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and the realization
of carbon revenue from the mandatory and voluntary markets. One key way to improve the forest revenue system is to address illegal logging as it is widespread in the country and contributes to the decline in stumpage revenue, which is one of the main sources of revenue for forest management
and development at the local level.
Improving the role of communities in participatory forest management through artificial intelligence: the case of Nairobi city park community forest association
Authors: Chisika S. , Yeom C.
Published: March 2024

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into participatory forest management (PFM) is emerging as a promising strategy for promoting sustainable forest management in developing countries. Using a case study approach from Kenya involving 85 respondents from the Nairobi City Park
Community Forest Association, this study explored the potential for AI implementation in PFM to improve community roles in data acquisition and management. The study results show that the current data management system for executing community roles in PFM is inefficient, time-consuming, and
susceptible to errors. However, there are substantial gains and opportunities in implementing community roles through AI. AI utilization could be fostered through the existing Information Communication Technology (ICT) resources such as smartphones for efficient and transparent data processes.
Notably, 90% of respondents express confidence in AI’s potential to enhance PFM efficiency. Despite this optimism, 67.1% emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive AI policy that emphasizes continuous community engagement and adaptation of AI to local contexts.
