Los maestros colombianos como grupo de presión 1958 - 1979
Authors: Bocanegra Acosta Henry
Published: March 2019

El magisterio colombiano (cuerpo docente al serivicio del Estado) constituye un sector social con una relativa identidad profesional y gremial. El lapso, objeto de este análisis, comprende los años 1958-1979, período en el cual se fundó la Federación Colombiana de Educadores, FECODE, su organización sindical. Posteriormente ésta alcanza una significativa reivindicación gremial: el Estatuto Docente, reglamentación que permite la obtención de unas condiciones laborales adecuadas, permitiendo además superar falencias en la selección y vinculación de los docentes, en su estabilidad laboral, en el régimen disciplinario y en su régimen de carrera o escalafón. Con el Estatuto Docente concluyó una etapa de debate y movilización sindical. Llegar a ese punto significó la ocurrencia de transformaciones de naturaleza ideológica, política y organizativa dentro de la FECODE.

Published: March 2019

In this paper the modified Landau theory of Fermi Liquids was used to compute the thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of quasi-particles in metals. The result revealed that as temperature increases the thermal expansion of quasi-particles in metals increases in all the metals investigated. It is also observed that as the electron density parameter increases the thermal expansion of quasi-particles increases. This shows that at low density region the thermal expansion of quasi-particles is large.  The result obtained for the thermal conductivity of quasi-particles in metals revealed that for all the metals computed the thermal conductivity of quasi-particles decreases as temperature increases. This seems to suggest that as temperature increases the separation between quasi-particles increases because they are not heavy particles hence, the rate of absorbing heat decreases. The computed thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of quasi-particles are in better agreement with experimental values. This suggests that the introduction of the electron density parameter is promising in predicting the contribution of quasi-particles to the bulk properties of metals. This study revealed the extent to which quasi-particles contribute to the bulk properties of metals, which assisted their potential applications in materials science and engineering development.
Does advanced maternal age influence obstetric outcome: a study in a tertiary care centre
Authors: C. V. Jose , George Lissiamma , Sukumaran Sunitha
Published: March 2019

Background: Advanced maternal age defined as age 35 years and older at estimated date of delivery has become increasingly common in last two to three decades. The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in 1958 recommended that all women going through their first pregnancy over the age of 35 years should be considered high risk for pregnancy and included in this category 1.Methods: A one-year prospective observational study conducted in a tertiary care hospital after institutional ethical clearance. All 165 women above 35yrs who delivered during this period were taken as Cohort 1. Same number of women aged between 20 and 34 years were randomly selected as comparison group (Cohort 2). Both the groups were compared in terms of preexisting medical disorders, obstetrical morbidities, antenatal complications, intrapartum complications.Results: Older and younger women had similar antenatal booking, occupational and socioeconomic status. The main reason for pregnancy at advanced age group was late marriage. The risk of chronic hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-existing medical disorders were higher in advanced maternal age.Conclusions: Increasing maternal age is associated with elevated risks for pregnancy complications. They are at high risk for gestational diabetes, cesarean section and to have low birth weight babies. Since these women are at higher risk of complications, they should be advised to adhere to frequent antenatal visits and close supervision.

Authors: Ganiga Pradeep , Rudrappa Shanthala
Published: March 2019

Background: Cesarean section is one of the most commonly performed abdominal operations on women in most countries. The incidence of primary LSCS is increasing all over the world, Consequently, there is a rise in multiple repeat LSCS with associated complications. Previous LSCS is a common indication for repeat LSCS. Primarily, authors aim at studying the influence of repeat LSCS on maternal and fetal outcome in a tertiary centre.Methods: All mothers with one previous LSCS admitted for emergency/elective LSCS at term gestation with singleton pregnancy in A.J. Institute of Medical Sciences and Research centre, Mangalore were recruited in the study from July to December 2018. Detailed history with antenatal risk factors were noted. Intraoperative and postoperative events were noted. Neonatal outcome was also noted correlated.Results: Majority of patients (58%) were in age group of 20-24years. Most of them were between 38 to 39 weeks of gestation. Most common intraoperative complication was bladder adhesion (18% of cases). In postoperative period febrile morbidity (7%) was common followed by urinary tract infection (2%). Most of the neonates (80%) weighed 2.5 to 3kg at birth. The incidence of poor APGAR respiratory distress, NICU admission was not significantly increased. There were 5 morbidly adherent placenta, 1 scar rupture, 4 scar dehiscence, no maternal or perinatal death.Conclusions: Previous caesarean is the most common cause of repeat caesarean and is associated with maternal morbidity. Measures should be taken to reduce primary caesarean sections which indirectly reduces the incidence of repeat cesarean sections.

Authors: Umashankar Girish Thimmanalli , M. S. Anil Kumar , Shahid Mohammed
Published: March 2019

Background: Diabetic foot lesions are responsible for more hospitalisations than any other complication of diabetes and diabetes is a predominant aetiology for non-traumatic lower extremity amputations. Authors, therefore, examined the clinical characteristics that best predict poor outcome in a large population of diabetic foot ulcer patients. The objective of the study was to describe independent predictors for lower extremity amputation in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer and to validate the predictive value of PEDIS (IWGDF) classification system for a diabetic foot ulcer.Methods: A retrospective study of 197 patients presenting with diabetic foot ulcer presenting to a tertiary care hospital in Mysuru, India. The recorded parameters were age, sex, various risk factors, laboratory parameters, the presence of DM-related complications and ulcer characteristics as determined by PEDIS system. The main outcomes recorded were healed ulcer and amputation.Results: Authors have found that factors strongly associated with risk of amputation are (in order of strength): PVD, past amputation, nephropathy, past ulcer, ulcer duration, TLC, Hb and sr. creatinine. Authors also validated the PEDIS scoring system as an effective classification system with prognostic value. The PEDIS score of >7 is a highly significant predictor of adverse outcome (amputation) of diabetic foot ulcer.Conclusions: Several risk factors for lower extremity amputation in a patient with diabetic foot ulcer were identified. An integrated risk-assessment model including the above significant risk factors and PEDIS system can be developed that is both clinically accurate as well as quick to assess for predicting the adverse outcome in a patient of diabetic foot ulcer and providing an opportunity to save the limb.

Authors: Lahkar Babita , Dutta Kalpajit
Published: March 2019

Background: The main aims of pre-anaesthetic medication are anxiolysis, analgesia, anti-emesis and reducing perioperative patient risk. Producing a state of amnesia for pre and post-operative events is desired by all. This study has been undertaken to evaluate the role of three of the benzodiazepines i.e. diazepam, lorazepam and midazolam during general anaesthesia, in providing anxiolysis, sedation and amnesia.

Methods: The study included patients with ASA grade I and ASA grade II physical status of both sexes, age ranging between 18-60 years. Patients were divided into three groups of thirty patients each, every group receiving intramuscular injections of diazepam 0.1 mg/kg body weight, lorazepam 0.07 mg/kg body weight and midazolam 0.08 mg/kg body weight respectively; 45 minutes prior to induction of general anaesthesia. Anxiety assessment before premedication along with assessment of sedation after premedication was done.

Results: Before premedication the mean values of pulse rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate were not significantly different among the three groups (p>0.05). Maximum changes in these parameters were observed with Midazolam followed by lorazepam and diazepam. The dose of thiopentone used as inducing agent was also lowered significantly in case of midazolam (p<0.05). One patient in midazolam group showed respiratory depression whereas four patients receiving lorazepam and diazepam showed delayed recovery and prolonged sedation, but the effects were self-limiting.

Conclusions: Midazolam offers the maximum advantage in allaying anxiety and providing excellent sedation and amnesia during general anaesthesia and proves to be the most suitable premedicant before general anaesthesia.

Authors: Jayaram Keerthi Budnoor , D. Usha , Bhushal Prem
Published: March 2019

Background: Neonates and in particular preterm neonates belongs to the most vulnerable population. A neonatal intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a highly specialized unit that provides high quality skilled care to critically ill new newborn, premature or low birth weight babies. Apart from facilities for continuous clinical and biochemical monitoring, NICU management involves the use of wide range of medications. Irrational prescription of drug is common in clinical practice, important reason being lack of knowledge about drug prescription. Developing countries have limited funds available for health care and drugs so it becomes very important to prescribe drugs rationally. The present study was done to find out the drug utilization pattern and improve the rational use which aids in the improvement of neonatal care.  Methods: The study was retrospective study in NICU of tertiary care hospital attached to MIMS, Mandya for a duration of 6 months. Data extraction sheet were used to collect the information regarding demographic details, maternal and delivery details, indication for admission, final diagnosis and medications administered. Data collected were evaluated for the category of prescribed, based on World Health Organization Anatomical Therapeutic Committee (WHO classification system and were analyzed using SPSS. WHO drug utilization core indicators were also evaluated.Results: Among 400 neonates admitted in NICU during the study period, 53.7% were males and 46.2% were females. There were 29.7% preterm born neonates. The maximum number of neonates were admitted in early neonatal period (87.25%). Neonatal sepsis (37.9%) and Birth asphyxia (11.6%) were the most common indications for admission. The total number of drugs prescribed was 1428 and the average number of drugs per neonate was 3.57. Preterm (<37weeks) and low birth weight (<2.5Kg) were exposed to significantly higher number of drugs. The most frequently prescribed therapeutic class of drugs was anti-infectives (60.36%), followed by drugs of central nervous system (7. 84%). Among the anti-infectives, the most commonly prescribed drugs were Ampicillin (59%), followed by gentamycin (42.5%). High end antibiotics like carbapenems, colistin’s and linezolid were used in less than 5% of cases.Conclusions: Drug use in neonates should be minimal and focus on the importance of therapeutic treatment guidelines establishment in hospital to control the over usage of antibiotics.

Published: March 2019

Background: Nasal septal deviation is a frequent cause of increased nasal airway resistance. A narrow nasal airway would result in a decreased airflow into the lungs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the alterations of the pulmonary functions prior to and following septoplasty using spirometry.

Methods: Thirty patients with obvious nasal septal deviations were enrolled in the study. All patients had a detailed otorhinolaryngologic examination, and were performed spirometry, prior to and one month after septoplasty surgery, and the results were compared.  

Results: Septoplasty improves the nasal breathing pattern. While reducing FEF50% (maximum expiratory flow at 50% of FVC)/FIF50%, it increases PEF and FIF50% values. In addition, exercise capacity improves following surgery. Postoperative scores showed reduction markedly compared to preoperative values (p<0.001).

Conclusions: Nasal septal surgery has a positive effect on pulmonary functions.

Authors: Narayanan Saravanan , Nallu Kamalanathan , Venu Sridhar , Chandrasekar Muthusubramanian
Published: March 2019

Background: Ano-genital wart, an infection of the anal and genital mucosa with their adjoining area is caused by human papilloma virus. Genital warts pose a bigger challenge, because of the lack of cell mediated immunity and its propensity to relapse and the reluctance of patients to consult a physician. The main aim of our study is to determine whether autoinoculation is effective in treatment of ano-genital warts.

Methods: 25 cases of anogenital warts of either sex, who attended RTI/STI clinic in Chengalpattu Medical College from September 2017 to September 2018. The study design was prospective. A detailed history taking, thorough clinical examination and appropriate relevant investigations were done for all the patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Autoinoculation was done for those patients. They were assessed periodically for clinical outcome.

Results: A sample size of 25 patients (20 men and 5 women) was included in the study. After 3 months of therapy 8 (32%) patients recovered completely and more than 75% improvement occurred in another 7 (28%) patients. At 6 months 15 (60%) patients showed complete resolution. No significant complication was documented.

Conclusions: Autoinoculation is a single time minimal invasive procedure effective in management of anogenital wart. It also reduces the recurrence of lesions.

Published: March 2019

This research aimed to understand the effectiveness of PAIKEM (Active, Innovative, Creative, Effective, and Enjoyable Learning) strategy in the KTSP (School Based Curriculum) in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Ma’arif Gedangan and in the Curriculum of 2013 in MI Ma’arif Mangunsari applied in the 4th Grade students in the academic year of 2016/2017.  The curriculum changing gave an impact in education especially on the use of learning strategy for teachers to reach the education goal.  This research was descriptive qualitative research which used observation, interview, and documentation as the method to collect the data. It used field research as the research method which was conducted by researcher collaborated with teachers. The research result showed that the use of PAIKEM strategy is more effective when it was used in the curriculum of 2013 than applied in KTSP curriculum. The implementation of PAIKEM strategy in the KTSP curriculum is less effective applied in the classroom. It was proven with the students’ interaction in the class. Many students were less active during the learning activities. However, teacher and students as the object of the research could follow the activities which applied PAIKEM strategy in the classroom. From the research result, it can be concluded that PAIKEM strategy can be implemented in KTSP and the curriculum of 2013. The implementation of PAIKEM strategy in the curriculum of 2013 is more effective than in the KTSP curriculum.

Published: March 2019

Arabidopsis thaliana AtNUDT7 Nudix pyrophosphatase hydrolyzes NADH and ADP-ribose in vitro and is an important factor in the cellular response to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. Several studies have shown that loss-of-function Atnudt7 mutant plants display many profound phenotypes. However the molecular mechanism of AtNUDT7 function remains elusive. To gain a better understanding of this hydrolase cellular role, proteins interacting with AtNUDT7 were identified. Using AtNUDT7 as a bait in an in vitro binding assay of proteins derived from cultured Arabidopsis cell extracts we identified the regulatory protein RACK1A as an AtNUDT7-interactor. RACK1A-AtNUDT7 interaction was confirmed in a yeast two-hybrid assay and in a pull-down assay and in Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) analysis of the proteins transiently expressed in Arabidopsis protoplasts. However, no influence of RACK1A on AtNUDT7 hydrolase catalytic activity was observed. In vitro interaction between RACK1A and the AGG1 and AGG2 gamma subunits of the signal transducing heterotrimeric G protein was also detected and confirmed in BiFC assays. Moreover, association between AtNUDT7 and both AGG1 and AGG2 subunits was observed in Arabidopsis protoplasts, although binding of these proteins could not be detected in vitro. Based on the observed interactions we conclude that the AtNUDT7 Nudix hydrolase forms complexes in vitro and in vivo with regulatory proteins involved in signal transduction. Moreover, we provide the initial evidence that both signal transducing gamma subunits bind the regulatory RACK1A protein.

Published: March 2019

Rhaponticum carthamoides plants ("maral root") are widely used in Siberian folk medicine. The present study reports for the first time the presence of pentacyclic terpenoid, α-amyrin, in methanol extract from leaves of this plant. α-Amyrin induced proliferation of human keratinocytes (HaCaT) by about 18% while other extract components were ineffective. A panel of biochemical and cell-based assays testing the antioxidative and cytoprotective activites of α-amyrin indicated no antioxidative activity of this compound. α-Amyrin did not protect HaCaT cells against the damage caused by UVB radiation.

Authors: Lashmanova Katya A , Kuzivanova Olga A , Dymova Olga V
Published: March 2019

Carotenoids are bioactive substances in human diet. The aim of the study was to determine β-carotene and xanthophylls in four berries species. An HPLC gradient elution system were used for separation and quantification of the carotenoids. The highest total carotenoid content among the berries studied was found in cloudberry (2840 μg/100g dw), followed by blueberry (2140 μg/100 g). All berries had lutein but it was a predominant carotenoid in blueberry. The highest β-carotene levels were found in cloudberry (83% of total Car content). Cranberry and cowberry were the poorest sources of carotenoids. Our data will be included in the regional database of resources with the increased nutritional value.

Published: March 2019

The study of daily changes in photosynthetic rate, of energy used in photochemical and non-photochemical processes, and of carotenoid composition aimed at evaluating the role of xanthophyll cycle (XC) in protection of hoary plantain plants (Plantago media) in nature. The leaves of sun plants differed from shade plants in terms of CO(2) exchange rate and photosynthetic pigments content. The total pool XC pigments and the conversion state increased from morning to midday in sun plants. An increase in zeaxanthin content occurred concomitantly with the violaxanthin decrease. About 80% violaxanthin was involved in conversion. The maximum of zeaxanthin in XC pigments pool was 60%. The conversion state of XC was twice as lower in shade plants than that in sun plants. The photosynthesis of sun leaves was depressed strongly at midday, but changes of maximum quantum yield of PS2 (F(v)/F(m)) were not apparent at that time. The coefficient qN (non-photochemical quenching) in the sun leaves changed strongly, from 0.3 to 0.9 as irradiance increased. The direct relation between heat dissipation and the conversion state of XC in plantain leaves was revealed. Thus, plantain leaves were found to be resistant to excess solar radiation due to activation of qN mechanisms associated with the XC de-epoxidation.
From critical pedagogy to critical methodology: a 'detective' approach for examining offensive practices in higher education
Authors: Alhazmi Ahmed
Published: March 2019

Recent studies in education attempt to ‘criminologise’ some of the current practices and policies of higher education institutions – that is, to deconstruct certain philosophies and practices which may be discriminatory, offensive, and biased to certain social groups. Recent theoretical frameworks problematize current higher education policies, many of which are taken for granted. This paper adopts a critical perspective, shedding light on some practices as they occur in higher educational institutions, by human and non-human agencies. The study applies a ‘detective’ approach examining some problematic uses of technology a higher education institution. In this proposed approach, researchers play the role of ‘detectives’, investigating possible breaches of good practice (possibly discriminatory) committed by higher education actors (referred hereafter as ‘defendants’). Most of these offences are committed through the use of educational and institutional technologies. The purpose of this theoretical approach is to empower alienated social groups against such practices by identifying ‘defendants’ and the implications of their acts. The study uses empirical data from interviews, visits, and observations to explain the ways in which defendants respond to the accusations levelled against them by other users of educational technologies. The investigation revealed that technology was used, among many other functions, to manoeuvre around the legal and ethical system serving the interests of some stakeholders. Then, the study categorises these manoeuvres, explaining the legal implications of each category, and recommending consideration of important academic and institutional issues.

Tanzanian Mothers' Cultural Beliefs and Misinformation Regarding the Reasons for Their Cesarean Sections
Authors: Mathias Victor Aidan , Holroyd Eleanor , Edwards Grace
Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND

In Tanzania, cesarean section (CS) rates have been steadily increasing, yet little is known about mothers' understanding of the medical rationale for their CSs.

AIM

To identify mothers' cultural understandings of the rationale for their CSs.

METHODS

Design: A qualitative descriptive design was employed.

Setting: A government hospital in the western region in Tanzania.

Participants: A total of 117 mothers were interviewed using convenience sampling post CS.

FINDINGS

Forty percent of the mothers were younger than 18 years, with more than 50% having had five or more live babies. Among multigravida women, 40.2% had had one or more previous CSs.

The emergent themes were lack of dietary knowledge, use of local herbs, delays in coming to hospital, avoiding stressful labor pains and no ability to exercise, and no personal preferences of “push or go for an operation.”

CONCLUSION

Pregnant women in Tanzania need improved health education to make informed choices about childbirth and be involved all processes of antepartum care decision making to achieve optimal birth outcomes.
Territorio y movilidad como escenarios para la construcción de ejercicios de memoria
Authors: Hernández Pérez Mauricio
Published: March 2019

A partir de una aproximación y revisión documental sobre textos asociados a los estudios de memoria y algunas referencias sobre el espacio y el territorio, el artículo muestra cómo la memoria (al igual que el territorio y el espacio) se ha convertido en un espacio simbólico de lucha y de reivindicación política y social en el marco del conflicto armado en Colombia. Para esto se llevó a cabo una revisión de la memoria como dispositivo teórico en su relación con lugares y escenarios de esta; se continúa con una reflexión sobre el método y algunas de las aproximaciones realizadas desde la institucionalidad en su trabajo sobre la memoria en el marco del conflicto armado interno, para terminar con algunas reflexiones sobre el territorio, el espacio y el lugar que permitan caracterizar la experiencias de Trochas por la vida como una experiencia de memoria en la cual la movilidad se convierte en insumo y estrategia para resignificarla.

Spiritual formation towards Pentecostal leadership as discipleship
Authors: Feller Jeremy , Lombaard Christo
Published: March 2019

This contribution, a further development of the first author’s recent thesis, investigates aspects of leadership in the Pentecostal tradition as it encourages discipleship. First contextualised broadly within unfolding post-secular sensitivities internationally and then contextualised specifically within the nature and history of Pentecostalism, the understanding of leadership and spiritual formation within the latter is then analysed. Leadership and spiritual formation within Pentecostalism are then developed towards an understanding of discipleship. Opsomming: Geestelike vorming onderweg na Pentekostalistiese leierskap as dissipelskap Hierdie bydrae, ‘n verdere ontwikkeling van die eerste outeur se onlangse proefskrif, ondersoek aspekte van leierskap binne die Pentekostalistiese tradisie onderweg na die aanmoediging van dissipelskap. Eerstens breedweg gekontekstualiseer binne internasionaal ontluikende post-sekulêre sentimente en daarna meer spesifiek gekontekstualiseer binne die eie-aard en geskiedenis van die Pentekostalisme, word die verstaan van leierskap en geestelike vorming binne hierdie groepering geanaliseer. Leierskap en geestelike vorming binne die Pentekostalisme word ontwikkel in die rigting van ‘n dissipelskapsbegrip.

The acute effects of hyperglycemia in cognitive function and mood are not well elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether acute hyperglycemia alters the exploratory behavior of adult zebrafish. Fish were maintained aquariums containing 55 mM D-glucose solution for 14 days. Blood glucose levels and behavioral analysis were assessed before and after the D-glucose challenge. Immersion of adult zebrafish in a 55 mM D-glucose solution (14 days) increased blood glucose levels until the 14th day. There was no difference in weight gain between the two groups. Hyperglycemia did not induce anxiogenic or anxioly-tic behavior, nor did it alter the locomotor activity of the animals. We conclude that acute hyperglycemia does not alter the exploratory behavior of the adult zebrafish.

Infant mortality is a major component in determining the health and well-being of a community in a country. Indonesia Health Demographic Survey in 2012 shows that infant mortality rate in Indonesia is 32 babies per 1000 live births. Infant mortality rate in eastern Java is 26 babies per 1000 live births. Infant mortality is caused by external factors and internal factors. Parity, gestational distance and birth attendant are the factors chosen to be analyzed. The objectives of the study were to analyze the relationship of parity, birth spacing and birth attendant to infant mortality rate in East Java. The type of research that is analytical research using non-reactive approach. The study took the data of the 2012 IDHS Female Woman Never married. Sampling followed the 2012 IDHS plus inclusion criteria from the researchers. The number of samples of the study was 591 mothers with a history of dead infants during the survey. The study took the data of the 2012 SDKI Female Woman Never married. Data analysis was done by multiple logistic regression. The results of the simple logistic regression analyzes have shown an association between parity> 2 children, birth attendants instead by a health professional, pregnancy spacing ≤ 4 years and spacing of pregnancy> 4 years. All independent variables entered as a candidate for the multiple logistic regression analysis of the results of the multiple logistic regression analysis was parity shows, their relationship with infant mortality with p value = 0.001, but at birth attendant with a p value of 0.66. Screening risks of pregnant mothers and handling of ill toddlers by midwives and IEC to mothers about nutrition, pregnancy care and infant care through counseling, leaflets and posters.

WHO (1947) defined health as a perfect condition both physically, mentally and socially and not only free from disease. The socio-economic aspect states the meaning of health if the community is able to advance its life by learning, working, or interacting with its surroundings. Public health in terms of socio-economic aspects can be seen from the conditions of population and employment. Through these two things, it can be seen the level of community welfare that can support the achievement of public health. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze population and employment conditions in Pegirian Village. This study will make it easier to carry out health-oriented development planning in order to achieve public health. This research is descriptive research with cross sectional approach. Research was conducted at RT 06 RW 02 Pegirian Village. Research was done at January 2018. This research was using secondary data from field work practices report of student FKM UNAIR 2018. Age data, gender, education, job, and tribe were used in this research. The results showed that the male population was 52.63%. The population aged 15-64 years was 70.18%. As many as 93.86% of the population was Madura Tribe. The percentage of the population that works and has the last primary education level or less was 68.29%. The population generally worked at 73.68%. Work force was 39.47%. LFPR was 53.57% and open unemployment rate was 8.89%. Public health conditions from the scope of population and employment in RT 06 RW 02 Pegirian Village Semampir Subdistrict are not good enough. Although, the population of productive age is high, the LFPR is still low. In addition, the level of education is still low so the quality of labor is also low.

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacterial infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can be transmitted from the patient to the surrounding environment including humans, which attacks the lung organ and other organs in the body. Based on the epidemiological triangle, infectious diseases are caused by 3 factors such as agent factor, host and environment. One of the host factors of Tuberculosis is HIV/AIDS, where many Tuberculosis infections are common in people with HIV/AIDS. From environmental factors causing Tuberculosis disease is a condition of less healthy house. Tuberculosis incidence in East Java Province in 2015 amounted to 44,063 which increased from 2014 that is as much as 42,475. This research was conducted to analyze the influence between HIV/AIDS and healthy house case against Tuberculosis incident in East Java Province. This research is a kind of analytical research using non-reactive method. The research sample used is total population consist of 29 regencies and 9 cities in East Java Province. Technical analysis of the research using multiple linear regression test. The results showed that there was a significant influence between HIV/AIDS cases on Tuberculosis occurrence in East Java (p-value = 0,000), and there was no significant influence between healthy house on Tuberculosis incidence in East Java Province. The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant relationship between HIV/AIDS cases and Tuberculosis cases in East Java Province. The HIV / AIDS and tuberculosis cases in East Java need to be improved by the Provincial Government of East Java such as providing information related to HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis and screening HIV/AIDS.
Chinese Media and United States Rebalancing Policy to Asia
Authors: Pertiwi Sukmawani Bela
Published: March 2019

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk melihat persepsi media di Cina terhadap kebijakan Amerika Serikat “rebalancing to Asia” yang banyak dilihat bertujuan untuk mengimbangi kebangkitan Cina, dan oleh karenanya berpotensi menciptakan ketidakstabilan di kawasan karena persaingan keduanya. Paper ini melihat media sebagai salah satu faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap dinamika persepsi dan kebijakan Cina ke Amerika Serikat berdasarkan landasan teori hubungan media dan kebijakan luar negeri dan meningkatnya peran media di Cina. Paper ini mengisi kekurangan dalam literatur yang ada yang sebagian besar fokus hanya pada diskursus kebijakan AS “rebalancing to Asia” dibandingkan manifestasi kebijakan tersebut. Dengan menggunakan studi kasus sengketa Laut Tiongkok Selatan dan program nuklir Korea Utara, paper ini berargumen bahwa persepsi media Cina bervariasi dari satu kasus ke kasus lain dimana kebijakan “rebalancing to Asia” dipersepsikan cenderung membuat ketidakstabilan dalam kasus-kasus yang berhubungan langsung dengan kedaulatan Cina termasuk dalam kasus sengketa Laut Tiongkok Selatan. Dalam menguji hipotesa ini, paper ini mengadopsi metode kualitatif analisa konten beberapa media Cina untuk melihat variasi persepsi masyarakat Cina terhadap kasus-kasus tersebut, membandingkannya dengan persepsi pemerintah, dan menarik kesimpulan dengan mendiskusikan temuan dan implikasi kebijakan “rebalancing to Asia” dalam hubungannya dengan Cina dan stabilitas kawasan secara umum.This paper aims to examine Chinese media perception toward US rebalancing policy to Asia which many perceive mainly to contain the rise of China and thus potentially create instability in the region. This paper treats media as a factor contributing to the dynamics of China’s perception and policies toward the US based on the well-established theories on the relations between media and foreign policy and the increasing importance of media in China. This paper fills the gap in the existing literature which solely focus on the discourse of US rebalancing policy rather than the manifestation of this policy. Using the case study of the South China Sea Dispute and North Korea Nuclear Program, this paper argues that Chinese media perception varied across cases in which US rebalancing policy is perceived to be more destabilizing in cases relate directly to China’s sovereignty such as the South China Sea. In testing this hypothesis, this paper adopts qualitative method of content analysis of several Chinese media to see the variation of Chinese perception across cases, compare these perceptions with those adopted by the government and draw conclusion by discussing the finding and the implication of U.S. rebalancing policy in its relations with China and regional stability in general.

Polychlorinated phenoxathiins (PCPTs), polychlorinated dibenzothiophenes (PCDTs), and polychlorinated thianthrenes (PCTAs) are sulfur analogues of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/DFs). Chlorothiophenols(CTPs) and chlorophenols (CPs) are key precursors to form PCTA/PT/DTs, which can form chloro(thio)phenoxy radical, sulfydryl/hydryl-substituted phenyl radical and (thio)phenoxyl diradicals. The available radical/radical PCTA/DT formation mechanism failed to explain the higher concentration of PCDTs than that of PCTAs under the pyrolysis or combustion conditions. Thus in this work, a detailed thermodynamics and kinetic calculations were carried out to investigate the pre-intermediates formation for PCTA/PT/DTs from radial/molecule coupling of 2-C(T)P with their key radical species. Our study found that the radial/molecule mechanism can thermodynamically and kinetically contribute to the gas-phase formation of PCTA/PT/DT/s. The S/C coupling modes to form thioether-(thio)enol intermediats are preferable over the O/C coupling modes to form ether-(thio)enol intermediats. Thus, although the radial/molecule coupling of chlorophenoxy radical with 2-C(T)P have no effect on the PCDD/PTs formation, the radial/molecule coupling of chlorothiophenoxy radical with 2-C(T)P play an important role in the PCDT/PT formation. Most importantly, the pre-PCDT intermediates formation pathways from the coupling of sulfydryl/hydryl-substituted phenyl radical with 2-C(T)P and the coupling of (thio)phenoxyl diradicals with 2-C(T)P are more favorable to pre-PCTA/PT intermediates formation pathways from the coupling of chlorothiophenoxy radical with 2-C(T)P, which can give reasonable explanation for the high PCDT-to-PCTA ratio in the environment.
