Published: October 2024

Tradition and culture in Indonesia are deeply connected, particularly through rituals and belief systems. The Purung Ta Liang Marapu ritual in East Sumba, NTT, is a sacred ceremony conducted annually to worship deities, involving offerings of animals and betel leaves on sacred objects. This ritual embodies animism, the belief in spiritual forces behind natural phenomena, which are personified as spirits or gods. The aim of this study is to explore the animistic narratology within the Purung Ta Liang Marapu ritual using a narraethnographic approach, a method that combines narrative and ethnography to systematically explain cultural values and traditions. The research highlights that access to the ritual's spiritual power is reserved for specific individuals, such as kings or priests, who play a central role in maintaining these cultural practices. This study contributes to the understanding of how animism shapes and sustains traditional rituals in Central Sumba, providing a deeper insight into the preservation of indigenous belief systems.

A doença periodontal é uma condição inflamatória significativa que afeta os tecidos de sustentação dos dentes. Crianças e adolescentes possuem uma susceptibilidade considerável à doença, com uma alta prevalência de gengivite nessa faixa etária. A periodontite, embora menos comum, também pode ocorrer em crianças com fatores de risco específicos. Hábitos cotidianos de higiene bucal e cuidados preventivos é crucial para a prevenção. Entretanto, diversos fatores podem afetar negativamente  a constância dessas práticas, como a falta de maturidade e a necessidade de supervisão parental, especialmente durante a adolescência, um período de maior influência de fatores externos como escola e amigos. O status socioeconômico (SES) desempenha um papel determinante na saúde bucal, crianças de meios desfavorecidos frequentemente enfrentam maiores barreiras ao acesso a tratamentos odontológicos e à educação sobre higiene bucal. Estudos mostram que baixa renda e escolaridade estão associadas a uma maior incidência de doenças periodontais, exacerbadas pela superlotação familiar e paternidade menos consciente. Desta forma, o presente trabalho busca analisar as causas da doença periodontal em crianças e adolescentes, relacionadas a fatores socioeconômicos, a fim de que se possa encontrar soluções que busquem equalizar o acesso à saúde bucal infantil.

Authors: Msungu Protas John , Machibya Ferdinand , Mlangwa Matilda Mtaya
Published: October 2024

Introduction: The transformation of the Metallurgy industry over the years has brought outstanding improvement in Nickel Titanium (NiTi) alloy, resulting into orthodontic NiTi archwires with improved properties, which are routinely employed during the initial phase of orthodontic treatment. Nevertheless, the clinical superiority between the second and third generation of NiTi arch-wires; the Super Elastic NiTi (SE NiTi) and Copper NiTi (Cu NiTi) archwires respectively has not been studied in the Tanzanian population. Hence, this study aimed to compare the clinical efficiency of Super Elastic NiTi (SE NiTi) and Copper NiTi (Cu NiTi) arch-wires during the alignment phase of orthodontic treatment.
Material and Methods: A total of 82 patients with an irregularity index of >2 mm on the mandibular anterior site were randomly allocated to one of the two treatment groups, group 1 (0.014-in SE NiTi) and group 2 (0.014-in Cu NiTi). Randomization was accomplished by random number generation via Microsoft Excel, participants were randomly assigned equally into respective groups. The arch-wire types were labeled and placed in sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelopes for participant allocation. Blinding to group assignment was applied to the participant and during outcome assessment. Data were analyzed by SPSS Statistics version 25 with a p-value set at <0.05.
Results: A total of 153 potential participants were evaluated for eligibility. 67 of those were excluded. Therefore 86 patients were randomly allocated to either the study control group (group 1, n=43) or intervention (group 2, n=43). The number of participants analyzed were n=42 in group 1 and n=42 in the control group. The Little's irregularity index significantly decreased over time in both groups (p<0.001), however, there was no statistically significant difference between the two arch-wires types in their efficiency on teeth alignment (p = 0.435) and arch width expansion (p>0.05).
Conclusion: There was no significant difference between SE NiTi and Cu NiTi in alignment efficiency and arch width changes. There was no statistically significant inter-canine arch width change in the Cu NiTi group.

Authors: Kumar V.M. Sathish , L Bindu. , Kumar Anil
Published: October 2024

Testate amoebae dwelling on moss at Bihar state have not been reported earlier in any literature. Consequently, this study seeks to establish an account of the testate amoebae species and their diversity first time from Bihar. Testate amoebae are the free-living, single-celled protists with external shells and are considered to be excellent bioindicators for the environmental changes. Samples of moss were taken from soil and walls in different parts of the Bahadurpur Housing Colony area of Patna during this preliminary investigation. The study results showed presence of 14 species of testate amoebae belonging to 7 genera and 7 families. All of these species are new record from the Bihar state and this study has shown the ecological significance of moss habitats. As some species are defined as ecological priority and are useful for biomonitoring, which gives considerable information on the state of the environment of the given region. In addition to these, this study augments the existing knowledge on the distribution and species richness of testate amoebae in India and the general scientific information necessary for future ecological surveys and conservation strategies. Thus, the results have proved the usefulness of testate amoebae as bioindicators and their applicability in the assessment of the state of the environment of the area.
Investigating the Feasibility of Xylitol and Gelatin for Controlled Release System in Drug Delivery using Calcium Alginate
Authors: Lee Sean
Published: October 2024

Calcium Alginate-based beads have been recognized to have high potential for pharmaceutical applications thanks to their ease of use and biocompatibility.  This study aims to investigate how xylitol and gelatin could be used for a controlled drug delivery system and how to manipulate such a delivery system.  For the study, calcium alginate beads were synthesized using two different calcium compounds: calcium lactate (CL) and calcium chloride (CC).  Varying concentrations of the calcium compounds in the beads were prepared to measure their effects on their characteristics, such as size, weight, strength, and, most importantly, the diffusion rate.  The study attempted to manipulate the diffusion rates by incorporating xylitol and gelatin into the calcium alginate membrane. A comparative analysis revealed that CC and CL affected the beads differently.  For instance, bead size increased with CC concentration up to 5%, after which it decreased, while CL showed a more consistent decrease in size as concentration increased.  Weight generally decreased with higher concentrations of both CC and CL, but the reduction was more pronounced with CL.  The popping force increased with CC concentration but had a non-linear relationship with CL, reaching around 7% concentration before decreasing.  The study also examined the percentage change in weight after 48 hours of drying.  For smaller beads (3mm), the weight change decreased with higher CC concentration, but for larger beads (7.05mm), the trend reversed, showing an increase in weight change at higher concentrations.  Similar patterns were observed for CL, with weight change initially decreasing but increasing with higher concentrations.  Our diffusion studies found that the xylitol concentration generally enhanced diffusion rates, with CL beads showing a greater initial diffusion than CC beads.  In contrast, gelatin concentration has less predictable effects on diffusion rates.  For CL beads, more gelatin results in less dye diffusion, suggesting that gelatin may impact the initial release of dye from the beads.

Data Security and Protection in Nursing
Authors: Pestana Helena , Domingues David Catarina Domingues , Miranda Pereira Mónica Alexandra
Published: October 2024

Introduction New technologies supported by digital solutions have been developed in both public and private health systems. In healthcare, these technologies enable surveillance, screening, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, among other activities. Given the importance and value of health data, we questioned the validity of collecting personal data (its amount and type), its processing, sharing, and subsequent use for purposes other than those for which it was initially collected. These concerns raise ethical-legal issues and the need to understand the complexity of data security and protection in nursing. Objectives To analyze the impact of the legal framework of data security and protection on nursing care practices. Development Personal data protection has long been recognized as a fundamental right in Portugal, gaining new significance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR considers health-related data as sensitive personal data, which requires special handling regarding its processing and access by third parties, further supported by the Public Administration Access to Documents Law. Reflecting on the impact of this legal framework on healthcare in Portugal, in conjunction with the Nursing Code of Ethics, formed the premise for this article. Conclusion Information systems are crucial globally. Information systems are crucial globally. Data sharing is critical to health information systems’ functioning and essential for delivering care and supporting organizational operations. Data collection, storage, sharing, and use concerns are entirely legitimate in this context. The legal framework for data security and protection affects various health domains, particularly nursing, across its multiple dimensions, including care provision, education, research, and auditing.
Biosynthesis, Characterization, Antibacterial Activities, and Photocatalysis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Allium Ambelloprasum (leeks) Leaves Extract
Authors: Alhemiary Nabil Abduraqeb , Ibrahem Yasser Saaed
Published: October 2024

The biosynthesis of nanomaterials using phytochemicals found in plants has attracted a lot of interest and is gaining traction as a viable alternative to traditional chemical processes.  In the current work, we used the aqueous leaf extract of Allium ampeloprasum (leek) as a reducing and stabilizing agent for the simple bio-fabrication of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs), owing to its alkaloids, coumarins, and flavonoids. Several methods, including, XRD, SEM, EDX, FT-IR, TEM, UV-visible spectroscopy, and TGA, were used to analyze the characteristics of the bio-fabricated ZnO-NPs.  An XRD study revealed that ZnO-NPs had a monoclinic structure with a crystallite dimension of 25.75 nm. The spherical structure of ZnO-NPs is confirmed by TEM and SEM morphological pictures, and their dispersion across surfaces shows decreased agglomerations. ZnO-NPs had a significant optical absorbance in the UV area at 368 nm and a large bandgap, indicating surface oxygen vacancies and charge carriers. The existence of Zn and O elements, as well as their Zn bonds, was identified using EDX and FT-IR spectroscopy. The photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye was studied using UV light irradiation, with a maximum degradation efficiency of 90.13% attained after 120 minutes of irradiation. Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria and E. coli ZnO-NPs were tested against S.ococcus aureus, which showed the maximum zone inhibition (15.01 ± 0.85 mm) compared to E. coli (13.34 ± 0.04 mm). Thus, the degradation efficiency for MB dye and the zone inhibition results for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria indicate that the bio-fabricated ZnO-NPs from A. ampeloprasum (leek) leaves may have biological and environmental uses.

Authors: Huang Jing , Kong Xiangshuang , Li Mingzi
Published: October 2024

Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in Beijing, China, from November 2015 to October 2016, and patients with T2DM were invited to participate. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. EDS was assessed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate factors associated with EDS.
Results: Of the 224 patients with T2DM, 24 (10.7%) had EDS. The proportions of anxiety, depression, and comorbid anxiety and depression were significantly different between the EDS and non-EDS groups. ESS scores, anxiety scores, and depression scores were positively correlated. Logistic regression analysis showed that mild anxiety (OR 11.055; 95% CI 2.272–53.785; P = 0.003), moderate to severe anxiety (OR 33.223; 95% CI 4.896–225.440; P < 0.001), and mild depression (OR 6.227; 95% CI 1.319–29.399; P = 0.021) were associated with EDS in patients with T2DM. These associations remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes duration, and apnoea–hypopnoea index. In addition, the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea–hypopnoea syndrome was not significantly associated with EDS, anxiety, depression, and comorbid anxiety and depression in this study.
Conclusions: The prevalence of EDS was high in patients with T2DM, and anxiety and depression were significantly associated with EDS. When developing interventions to improve EDS in patients with T2DM, healthcare providers may need to consider interventions that target anxiety and depression.
Die Anwendbarkeit des europäischen Datenschutzrechts auf nationale Parlamente in der neueren EuGH-Rechtsprechung und ihre Konsequenzen
Authors: Pilniok Arne
Published: October 2024

Parliaments have long been concerned with taking data protection into account in their work . However, since the GDPR entered into force, there has been intense debate as to whether it also applies to core parliamentary activities – in particular lawmaking and oversight of government and administration . In its ruling of 16 January 2024, the ECJ clearly answered this question in the affirmative in its response to an Austrian court referring the case for a preliminary ruling . Based on a very brief and in detail questionable argumentation, the Court interprets the exceptions to the scope of the GDPR narrowly . The article critically analyses this judgement . Building on this, the consequences of the ECJ’s position for parliamentary law and parliamentary practice are discussed . In addition to the substantive issues, it is particularly important to clarify institutionally how data protection oversight should be organized in the parliaments . The case law of the ECJ on the applicability of the GDPR in parliaments is part of a general development on the transformation of organizational constitutional law under EU law, which will be examined in conclusion .

Israel with its current extreme right-wing government has religious disputes, social gaps, corrupt leaders, and political disputes intensified by populist rhetoric led by a Prime Minister who has been indicted . Israeli democracy is under an orchestrated attack by the various parties of the coalition . I explain how three factors converged prior to the 25th Knesset election, enabling Netanyahu to form an extreme right-wing government: his indictments, the agendas of the ultra-Orthodox parties, and the agendas of the right-wing extremist parties . Additionally, I analyze two examples illustrating the coalition’s attempts to consolidate power without oversight .
Würde des Parlaments

Published: October 2024

The “dignity” of Parliament is an undefined legal concept, the application of which must, on the one hand, leave room for the freedom of the political mandate of Members of Parliament under Article 38 (1) sentence 2 of the Basic Law and take into account their equality on the other hand . Its requirements are subject to a prerogative of assessment by Parliament and its President and can only be reviewed by the constitutional court to a limited extent . However, the “dignity” of parliament is not an end in itself . It is at the service of democracy and at the service of the right of citizens to democratic self-determination which is enshrined in the guarantee of human dignity (Article 1 (1) of the Basic Law) .

Authors: Serhii Kravtsov , Oksana Kaplina , Kateryna Lagoda
Published: October 2024

The article deals with challenges to establishing a sustainable case law by the Supreme Court of Ukraine in criminal cases. The authors highlight aspects of the definition of ‘legal certainty’ and the peculiarities of its application in the law enforcement practice both of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the Supreme Court of Ukraine. Based on the analysis of numerous cases of the Supreme Court of Ukraine, the authors also identify its key issues: the hierarchy of the judgments of the Supreme Court, the identification of an exceptional legal issue and the determination of the retroactive application of the Supreme Court's legal opinion. As a result, the authors conclude that there is an urgent need to improve criminal procedural legislation to ensure strict compliance with the conventional principle of legal certainty and the right to a fair trial.

Wings of Desire and the Joys of Finitude
Authors: Kupfer Joseph ,   Society for the Philosophic Study of the Contemporary Visual Arts
Published: October 2024

The film Wings of Desire (Wim Wenders, 1987) begins to answer the startling question, “How could being human be superior to enjoying an angelic existence?” The film’s elevation of ordinary humanity is so persuasive that a few angels forego eternity, “take the plunge,” and become mortals. The first layer of human attraction is found in the uncomplicated pleasures of physical embodiment. To the enjoyment of bodily sensations such as warming our hands on a chilly day, the film adds the ecstasy of romantic love, including the social intimacy of conjugal union. The third layer of human life is the stratum of meaning that purposeful action contributes. Finitude demands that we must decide how to spend our limited time as not all options can or will remain open. This animates life with the hope of positive outcomes and the trepidation of mishap. The meaning that accrues to experience, then, depends on the temporality and limitations inherent within life and definitive of mortal existence as such.

Authors: Ahmat Saiful
Published: October 2024

after the equal marriage age was established through Law No. 16 of 2019. In Islam, there is no specific regulation regarding the age limit for marriage. This research explores Alie Yafie's thoughts on Indonesia's marriage age limit. The study is qualitative, using a library research approach. Primary data comes from Alie Yafie’s book Initiating Social Fiqh, while secondary data is derived from journals discussing marriage age limits and maslahah in Yafie’s thought, along with other supporting literature. Data collection was done through document analysis related to the marriage age limit and the concept of maslahah. The data was analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that Indonesia's high rate of child marriage is a significant issue, with marriages below 19 years being prone to divorce due to psychological and economic unpreparedness. Alie Yafie supports the government's decision to set the marriage age limit at 19 years, rooted in the maslahah concept to enhance family welfare.

Context.—

Sarcomas are rare and highly heterogeneous mesenchymal tumors with deceptive morphologic features that pose a challenge for precise diagnostics. Chromosomal rearrangements generating pathognomonic gene fusions are useful diagnostic markers, traditionally tested using single-plex standard of care assays with limited diagnostic yield. NanoString nCounter technology has emerged as a robust solution with multiplexing capabilities.

Objective.—

To optimize NanoString effective coverage of specific entities and conduct a validation study to support its clinical implementation.

Design.—

We reconfigured a NanoString’s codeset by including a set of probes for detecting gene fusion variants of solitary fibrous tumors, low-grade fibromyxoid sarcomas/sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcomas, and undifferentiated small round cell sarcomas, totaling 188 probes. A technical validation study was conducted with 96 retrospective samples. Additionally, 76 prospective samples were evaluated to assess the assay’s clinical performance.

Results.—

Both technical and clinical validation studies showed that NanoString’s codeset reached >88% sensitivity and 100% specificity, compared with standard of care methods, and superior diagnostic yield as a first-line test. Our design enabled the detection of almost all fusion variants of NGFI-A binding protein 2 (NAB2) with signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) in solitary fibrous tumors, as well as cAMP responsive element binding protein 3 like 1/2 (CREB3L1/2) rearrangements in all low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma/sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma cases. Identification of specific gene fusions of undifferentiated small round cell sarcoma was also improved, but additional strategies are necessary to attain full coverage.

Conclusions.—

The NanoString platform demonstrated good sensitivity, specificity, and superior diagnostic yield. It is a cost-effective assay with rapid turnaround time, low sample consumption, streamlined analysis, and easy customization. Therefore, it is a promising alternative first-line diagnostic tool for routine sarcoma testing.
