Russian Identity in the Digital Age and social Perceptions of social media users
Authors: Saschenko Natalia P.
Published: March 2021

The article proposes approaches to solving the problem of the ongoing crisis of national-state identification of young citizens of Russia and the associated socio-political risks of a delayed nature. Digitalization radically changes the structure of employment of the population, the nature of socio-economic and socio-political relations, the functioning and reproduction of the culture underlying group, ethnic, national-state identity, creates the possibility of effective cross-border external influence. These changes contain significant risks of destabilizing the state and its main institutions, the formation of a controlled "digital society". The results of the first stage of an empirical study of social representations of Russia by young users of social networks are presented. The article substantiates the dependence of national-state identity on social ideas about one's country, which are being transformed in the context of digitalization of all spheres of life. The structural-functional and content-morphological characteristics of the social ideas of young people about Russia have been determined. Differences in the social perceptions of young people of different categories were revealed, and differences in the significance and valence of the elements of the "core" zone were revealed. It is planned to conduct the second stage of research on the structure and content of social perceptions of Russia by young users of social networks with different ideological preferences, socio-political sentiments, in order to test the significance of the elements of the “core” zone depending on political orientations.
Novel Handheld Device to Measure the Nasal Expiratory Flow Rate of the Two Nasal Cavities Individually and Simultaneously
Authors: Thilakarathna Thimira S. , Edirisinghe Mahesh
Published: March 2021

This paper reveals a novel handheld device to measure the peak nasal expiratory flow rate of the two nasal cavities individually and simultaneously. Significantly, when using this device, the patient needs to inhale from the mouth and exhale from the nose, as a usual breath, and importantly there is no need to take extra effort to exhale. The key detection mechanism used is the anemometer technique and the measurement is done by using an optical wheel encoder and an ATmega328p microcontroller. The device is capable of measuring the exhaled airflow rate with an accuracy of ± 1 LPM. It also allows measuring the number of breaths per minute together with the respective temperature and the relative humidity of the exhaled airflow of the two nasal cavities separately. Two DHT22 sensor modules are used to measure relative humidity and temperature with an accuracy of ±1 %RH and ±0.5℃ respectively. This can be used by a Rhinologist as an initial diagnosing tool for several diseases, as the device allows them to get an idea about the patient’s exhaling behavior of the nasal airflow instantly. The device would be beneficial in the sports sector as a physical fitness indicator by means of the breathing style.
Morphological Based Method for Automated Extraction and Classification of ECG ST-T Wave
Authors: Alqudah Ali Mohammad , Alqudah Amin
Published: March 2021

The wave starting from the beginning of the S wave until the end of the T wave is known as ST-T. ST-T wave extraction and classification is a very important technique in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. The myocardial ischemia which is also called cardiac ischemia can cause damage to the heart muscle. A sudden, severe blockage of a coronary artery may lead to a heart attack or other severe complications, and may also cause serious abnormal heart rhythms which will be reflected in the electrocardiogram trace. This paper aims to automate the real-time technique detection of ST-T waves that help in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia and to classify the patient state. The proposed method uses the ECG wave morphological features that have been extracted using the detrended cumulative area, which is used to detect the ST-T wave. The proposed technique was tested and validated and it revealed promising results. The proposed method scored a sensitivity of 90.13% for K-mean Clustering and 96.3% for the SVM classifier for the ST interval detection. The method was tested on the European ST-T Database.
Integration of Energetic Model for Ferromagnetic Hysteresis in Finite Volume Method for Electromagnetic Field Calculation
Authors: Hammouche Ali , Hamimid Mourad , Kansab Abdelkader , Belmadani Bachir
Published: March 2021

In this article, a coupled algorithm between the control volume method and the hysteresis dynamic energetic model for ferromagnetic hysteresis is presented. To illustrate the dynamic behavior of ferromagnetic materials, the quasi-static model is extended by adding two components to the applied magnetic field “Hedd”, and “Hexc”. The added fields are related to the excess losses and classical eddy losses. Thus, two new supplementary coefficients are added to the model parameters. The determination of those coefficients is attained by measuring the energy density for two distinct frequencies. This model introducing the magnetic induction as an independent variable is presented in order to be directly used in time-stepping finite volume calculations applied to the magnetic vector potential formulation. The calculated results are validated by experiences performed in an Epstein’s frame. To check the effectiveness of this model combined with the control volume method in the time domain, the obtained results are compared with experiments.
Naturally occurring aesculetin coumarin exerts antiproliferative effects in gastric cancer cells mediated via apoptotic cell death, cell cycle arrest and targeting PI3K/AKT/M-TOR signalling pathway
Authors: Zhang Jie , Feng Min , Guan Wenxian
Published: March 2021

Aesculetin is an active member of coumarins that has been reported to possess significant medicinal and biological importance. It has also been shown with potential anticancer activity against different human cancers including breast, lung and hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, the current investigation was undertaken to examine the anticancer effects of aesculetin against gastric cancer. MTT assay was performed to check the cellular viability and clonogenic assay was executed to assess the effect of aesculetin on colony formation capacity of SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells. Apoptosis was analysed by AO/EB staining and annexin V-FITC/PI staining assays. Cell cycle phases were monitored using flowcytometry and western blotting was used to detect the effects of aesculetin on PI3K/AKT/M-TOR signalling pathway. Results indicated that aesculetin not only reduced the cellular proliferation in time-dependent manner but dose-dependent manner as well. Clonogenic tendency of SGC-7901 cells was retarded significantly by the aesculetin. The antiproliferative effects of aesculetin may arbitrate via apoptosis. Further, flow cytometric analysis revealed that the G2/M-phase SGC-7901 cells amplified number with increasing aesculetin doses. Indicating blocking of cell cycle at G2/M-phase. Finally, western blotting assay suggested blocking of PI3K/AKT/M-TOR signalling pathway by aesculetin in gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. Taking altogether, aesculetin could induce significant growth inhibitory effects against gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. Moreover, aesculetin could induce apoptotic cell death, cell cycle arrest and block PI3K/AKT/M-TOR signalling pathway.
A Cross-Sectional Study of Various Gynaecological Profiles among Adolescents Attending Outpatient Department at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital
Authors: Narasimhaiah Anitha , Saha Nutan
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND Adolescents constitute about 21 % of Indian population. Adolescence is a period of major physiological change along with psychological and socio-behavioural changes. Issues in adolescent age group are not only different but are increasing over the years and need special consideration. Hence, as health care providers, we need to focus on young people as investing in their health today will reap rich rewards tomorrow. Our study focusses on the incidence of adolescents attending gynaecology outpatient department (OPD) and the different gynaecological profiles in adolescents attending OPD. METHODS 351 adolescent girls in the age group of 10 - 19 years attending gynaecological OPD of Dr. BRAMC, Bengaluru, from February’ 19 to January’ 20 were included in the study. All the adolescents presenting with various gynaecological profiles were evaluated by detailed history taking and thorough clinical examination after taking an informed consent. RESULTS There were 351 adolescent girls (5.37 %) attending the gynaecology OPD during the study period. Teenage pregnancy (38.4 %) was the commonest indication for OPD consultation among adolescent girls followed by irregular cycle (17.9 %). Pain abdomen, anaemia, white discharge per vagina (WDPV), urinary tract infections (UTI), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), heavy menstrual bleeding, breast pain, breast enlargement were few other complaints encountered during this study. CONCLUSIONS Teenage pregnancy and menstrual abnormalities are the most common issues seen in adolescents. Adolescent gynaecology needs increased awareness and greater attention. This can perhaps best be done by setting up specialised adolescent clinics and it is the need of the hour to protect and promote the health of teenagers.

The Comparison of Resistance Index of Testicular Artery Using Color Doppler Ultrasound in Infertile Men Undergoing Varicocelectomy
Authors: Dalili Amir Reza , Madani Ali Hamidi , Sadeghi Joni Saeid
Published: March 2021

Background: Varicocele is one of the leading causes of infertility in men. Resistance index (RI) in testis is a parameter indicating parenchymal perfusion and microvascular functions. Increased RI in the testis of patients with varicocele might be a sign of impairments in microvascularization and a significant decrease in testicular perfusion. In the present study, RI in capsular and intraparenchymal testicular arteries was evaluated in patients with varicocele who underwent varicocelectomy.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was performed in 2019-2020 in Guilan, Iran. Sixty-six patients were included. Semen analysis was also done before surgeries. Patients with at least one disorder in semen analysis entered the study. RI in testicular arteries was measured by an experienced radiologist before surgeries. Six months after varicocelectomy, all patients underwent the same semen analysis and ultrasound imaging. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The tests for analysis included McNemar Test and Wilcoxon and p<0.005 was considered as the significance level.
Results: According to the results, 42 patients (63.6%) had positive changes in sperm analysis after surgeries. Sperm analysis showed a significant increase in number, concentration, morphology, and motility of sperm after surgeries (p<0.001). Further measurements of capsular and intratesticular RI in all patients also indicated a significant decrease (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Increased RI might be associated with impaired microperfusion in testis followed by impairments in semen. Moreover, mean capsular and intratesticular RI in patients decreased after surgeries and this decrease was significantly more in patients who had improvement in their semen parameters.

Early Neurodevelopmental Outcome of Neonates with Gestation 35 Weeks or More with Serum Bilirubin in Exchange Range Without Encephalopathy: A Prospective Observational Study
Authors: Sharma Deepak , Harish Rekha , Bhatti Anuj , Uppal Radhika , Naseem Jehangir
Published: March 2021

Objective

To describe early neurodevelopment outcomes of neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia without acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE).

Methods

Neonates born at gestation ≥35 weeks, admitted to NICU with total serum bilirubin (TSB) in exchange range with no features of ABE, were followed up until the age of 6 months. Infants were assessed for impaired hearing and neurodevelopment at 3 months and 6 months of age.

Results

A total of 59 neonates were enrolled in the study. At 3 months of age, 7.6 percent of neonates were found to have hypotonia and motor delay, whereas 42.3 percent had abnormal brainstem evoked response audiometery. At 6 months, 6.4 percent of neonates were found to have persistent neurodevelopmental impairment.

Conclusion

Severe hyperbilirubinemia is associated with impaired neurodevelopment and hearing even in infants without ABE. Peak TSB level strongly correlates with abnormal outcomes.
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: Clinical Use in High-Risk Neonates
Authors: Tran Nhu N. , Tran Michelle , Lopez Jeraldine , Ogbaa Maxine , Votava-Smith Jodie K. , Brady Ken M.
Published: March 2021

In this review, we describe the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology and its clinical use in high-risk neonates in critical care settings. We searched databases (e.g., PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost) to find studies describing the use of NIRS on critically ill and high-risk neonates. Near-infrared spectroscopy provides continuous noninvasive monitoring of venous oxygen saturation. It uses technology similar to pulse oximetry to measure the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in a tissue bed to describe the relative delivery and extraction of oxygen. Near-infrared spectroscopy can be a valuable bedside tool to provide clinicians indirect evidence of perfusion. It may prompt early interventions that promote oxygen delivery, which can improve high-risk neonatal outcomes.
Prepare for the Rare: Innovation Simulation for Managing Abdominal Wall Defects
Authors: Bischoff Margaret
Published: March 2021

The incidence of abdominal wall defects like gastroschisis and omphalocele are relatively rare. Gastroschisis occurs approximately in 2 to 3 births in every 5,000, and omphalocele occurs in fewer than 2 births in every 10,000. However, our Level III NICU was informed that we were going to receive 2 infants with gastroschisis and one infant with an omphalocele in the same year. Because of the infrequency of these defects, our novice NICU nurses expressed concern about their lack of exposure to and familiarity with these defects. It became apparent that a thorough review of the clinical care and emergency interventions was needed before the anticipated deliveries. The challenge, however, was to develop an innovative, interactive learning experience for the NICU nurse that would provide both a didactic review and hands-on education to care for these patients. We opted to employ simulation. Infant mannequins were used along with moulage to create realistic-looking loops of bowel, herniated bowel segments, and umbilical cord. Scenarios were created that covered the various unpredictable clinical directions these cases could take. These scenarios included the emergency equipment, maneuvers, and interventions that could be required for the anticipated deliveries. Ten sessions for each abdominal wall defect were held; 51 NICU nurses participated in each simulation. NICU nurses reported increased comfort and readiness to care for each infant.

Authors: Wilson Oliver W. A. , Brittain Danielle R. , Bopp Melissa
Published: March 2021

The purpose of the study was to examine differences in aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity participation based on the intersection of gender and sexual orientation among cisgender college students. Data from the American College Health Association National College Health Assessment collected between Fall 2015 and Fall 2018 were analyzed. Differences from the population average for meeting aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity (separately) recommendations were computed for each gender and sexual orientation intersection. The likelihood of meeting aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity (separately) recommendations were calculated using a series of logistic regression analyses to determine odds ratios controlling for age, year of enrollment, race/ethnicity, and health status. Overall, more men and those identifying as straight met activity (aerobic and muscle-strengthening) recommendations. Asexual and straight women were less likely to meet activity recommendations compared to men, and bisexual and questioning women were less likely to meet muscle-strengthening recommendations compared to men. Bisexual, pansexual, and questioning individuals were less likely to meet activity recommendations compared to straight individuals among both genders, as were queer and gay men and women who identified as pansexual or another identity. Men who identified as pansexual or another identity, as well as lesbian and queer women were less likely to meet muscle-strengthening recommendations compared to straight individuals. In summary, findings demonstrate that aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity participation disparities are evident based on the intersection of gender and sexual orientation. The intersection of socio-demographic characteristics should be considered by researchers and physical activity promoters in order to better understand and address disparities.

MESTO SPEKULATIVNE GRAMATIKE U RANOJ HAJDEGEROVOJ FILOZOFIJI
Authors: SRETOVIĆ BOJAN
Published: March 2021

Hajdegerovi često zapostavljeni rani radovi o logici sadrže naznake onoga što će kasnije postati poznato kao njegov „okret ka jeziku“. Podstaknut Huserlovom tvrdnjom, iznesenom u „Logičkim istraživanjima“, da postojanje apriornih zakona koji određuju moguće forme značenja govori u prilog osnovanosti stare ideje univerzalne gramatike, Hajdeger će ponuditi fenomenološko čitanje spisa Dunsa Skota De modis significandi. Pored fenomenologije kao dominantne struje, u svom habilitacionom radu Hajdeger će na jednom mestu pokušati da izmiri zahteve neosholastike, neokantovstva i filozofije života. Neokantovsko bavljenje problemom graničnih fenomena suda, poput impersonalija, pitanja i negativnih sudova, imaće poseban značaj za Hajdegera. Iako će Laskova metagramatička teorija predikacije ustupiti mesto Huserlovoj ideji čiste gramatike, upliv Laskove misli na Hajdegerovo rano delo biće nemerljiv. Njegovo razmatranje uloge refleksivnih kategorija ukazaće Hajdegeru na skrivene strukture živog jezika iz kojih filozofski govor mora da crpe.

Autor u ovom istraživanju nastoji da ispita koja je uloga Aristotelovog Organona u teološkim učenjima Kapadokijskih Otaca. Cilj ovog rada je da se pokaže da su se Kapadokijski Oci služili Aristotelovim pojmovima prve i druge suštine, u svrhu odbrane zvaničnih učenja crkve od suprotstavljenih učenja koja su se smatrala jeretičkim. Iako se Kapadokijski teolozi u svojim radovima služe filozofskim pojmovima, to nikako ne znači da oni odstupaju od izvornog hrišćanskog učenja.

LOGIC FOR THE THEORY OF CONCEPTS
Authors: KOSTIĆ JOVANA
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we follow Gödel’s remarks on an envisioned theory of concepts to determine which properties should a logical basis of such a theory have. The discussion is organized around the question of suitability of the classical predicate calculus for this role. Some reasons to think that classical logic is not an appropriate basis for the theory of concepts, will be presented. We consider, based on these reasons, which alternative logical system could fare better as a logical foundation of, in Gödel’s opinion, the most important theory in logic yet to be developed. This paper should, in particular, motivate the study of partial predicates in a certain system of three-valued logic, as a promising starting point for the foundation of the theory of concepts.
On Air: Representing Osing Identity in Community Radio
Authors: Wisnu Windu Bramantio , Rosa Dien Vidia
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this research is to describe the articulation of Osing’s culture on three community radios in Banyuwangi. Understanding language as an identity medium is essential to analyzing underlying cultural dynamics and the crucial vital they play. The Government policy reshaped Osing's identity as an added value to drive regional economic growth. This impacted local, cultural practices. The government created the Osing culture as the primary character used to differentiate them from other cultural practices. Notwithstanding, this research argues that culture is not an entity that can be organized and represented in a monolithic form. Using qualitative methods, this study found that the Osing culture, especially the practice of its language, became a medium of discourse that intertwined with various other cultures. Furthermore, radio has become a space for cultural encounters and a site for cultural submissions that are continually changing and discovering social contexts.

Consuming Leisure Time: How The Tourism Trend Has Changed the Village
Authors: Istriyani Ratna
Published: March 2021

This article elaborates on the issue of using leisure time, mainly connected with the tourism concept. The tourism agenda has shaped the trend of using leisure time, which at the same time has changed the appearance of particular places to attract consumers. The village area is a new tourist spot that discussed in this article. Again becomes crucial to see; the new economic features have changed social relations in rural areas. The changes also happened in Yogyakarta, especially villages in the Sleman area. Therefore, this paper aims to explore how the village experienced economic changes after it formed into a tourist area, how was the process. The approach used in this research is qualitative by collecting observational data and secondary data. Based on the research, the villages in Yogyakarta, especially Sleman, the changes in the economic pattern cannot separate from the tourist trend, which emphasizes the reformation of the classic pastoral nuances. The establishment of a restaurant or cafe that offers authentic characters imagined being a remedy for longing for memories. Without intending to confront rural and urban areas, this study argues that the tourism trend in rural areas has not only changed the economic complexion but has also emphasized the character of the village as a space for urban community consumption. It is undeniable that the economic turnover that arises from the tourism sector is assumed to be able to contribute to the new face of rural areas; however, it is not necessarily possible to realize sustainable regional development without being followed by creativity to compete with the emergence of new entertainment venues.

Spare the Rod, Spoil the Society? The Moral Complexity of Caning in Singapore
Authors: Sorenson Hannah
Published: March 2021

You have the opportunity to decide whether or not a person gets caned, the only caveat is that they have committed a crime against you. What will you do? This essay explores the moral complexity of caning in Singapore through an exploration of corporal punishment, criminal justice, moral philosophy, and the Asian values debate; a dilemma that ultimately places concerns of society and the individual at odds. In doing so, the essay argues that the morality of caning changes on the basis of the ethical framework and modification of situation variables. Even so, the moral complexity of caning is not superficially evident. In order to thoroughly engage with all elements of this complexity, this essay begins by attempting to decipher the place of punishment within international human rights frameworks. From there, the essay explores the morality of punishment and its employ in colonial endeavors. This leads to a discussion of modernization, humanitarian ideologies, and control. By creating a framework for analyzing criminal justice in Singapore—including an outline of the intersections of criminal justice, development, and prosperity —this essay seeks to explore the balance between corporal punishment as a tool of prosperity and corporal punishment as a source of pain and degradation. When placed in consequentialist and virtue-based ethical frameworks caning in Singapore looks very different, forcing the moral actor to weigh societal concerns with concerns for individual pain, suffering, and liberties.

“Soft Power” and Russia’s Export Potential in Non-Raw Materials Sectors of Economy
Authors: Pogorletskii A.
Published: March 2021

The subject of the research is the export potential of Russia in non-resource sectors of the economy. The purpose of the article is to assess Russia’s international competitive advantages and export revenues in the sectors of the national economy that fall within the scope of “soft power”. The study, based on expert assessments and quantitative analysis methods, confirms the hypothesis that Russia has significant means of intellectual and emotional influence on foreign consumers, designed to improve the country’s current position in the system of international relations. It is shown how the tools of so-called “soft power” can be used to increase Russian geostrategic influence in the world, including using national ideological attitudes, conceptual political ideas and demonstration-effective business models. The realization of export revenue growth opportunities in areas of the national economy associated with the spread of “soft power” helps to solve this problem. Based on the concept of “soft power” and the postulates of the experience economy, dream society, behavioral economy and glam capitalism, with the involvement of statistical and factual materials, the prospects for the development of Russia’s export potential in the field of tourism, education, as well as certain areas of culture, art and sports that are most indicative of their competitiveness, including ballet, figure skating and animation, are evaluated. The author concludes that Russia has competitive advantages in both general and highly specialized areas of the non-resource economy, which, in addition to export revenues, can become a productive “soft power” of influence on foreign audiences. An important task of regulating foreign economic activity in the Russian Federation should be to support these areas of activity that are potentially attractive for increasing non-resource exports in the long term.
Imperatives of Sustainable Development in the Shadow and in the Light of the Pandemic
Authors: Davydov V.
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily overshadowed all the previous concerns of the world community, and among them even existential challenges. The attitude towards sustainable development issues has moved into the “deferred demand” zone. The pandemic pushed the offensive and exacerbated the effect of another crisis in the global economy. At the same time, it is symptomatic that during the pandemic a significant improvement in the environmental situation was felt as a result of the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and the release of other harmful production wastes. At the same time, the pandemic has accentuated the biomedical safety imperative and will inevitably make a corresponding adjustment to the list of top priorities for moving towards sustainable development goals. After the pause of the pandemic, the imperative of transition to a sustainable development regime will begin to act with significant intensification, bearing in mind the need to compensate for the loss of time and pace. Ensuring biomedical safety will be a special priority. The lessons of the pandemic convincingly confirm the understanding that real success in moving towards sustainable development goals in accordance with the 2030 Agenda cannot be imagined without the normalization of international relations and the establishment of broad cooperation in a global format. At the same time, the author proceeds from the integral perception of the concept of sustainable development. Summing up the pre-pandemic stage of the formation of the concept of sustainable development, its essence can be expressed as follows. Development will be sustainable if it is economically balanced, socially inclusive and balanced, environmentally responsible, biologically safe, institutionally oriented to the interests of the majority and respect for the rights of the minority. If at the same time it is assumed and guaranteed that the use of weapons of mass destruction will be excluded if the urge for military solutions to international conflicts fades. And, of course, on such a platform, debt to the future is unacceptable, as it was said. This, of course, is the ideal, and practice is determined and will be determined by a greater or lesser approximation to it.

CoVID-19 is a multi-symptomatic disease which has made a global impact due to its ability to spread rapidly, and its relatively high mortality rate. Beyond the heroic efforts to develop vaccines, which we will not discuss, the response of scientists and clinicians to this complex problem has reflected the need to detect CoVID-19 rapidly, to diagnose patients likely to show adverse symptoms, and to treat severe and critical CoVID-19. Here we aim to encapsulate these varied and sometimes conflicting approaches and the resulting data in terms of chemistry and biology. In the process we highlight emerging concepts, and potential future applications that may arise out of this immense effort.

The rise in the volume, variety and complexity of data in healthcare has made it as a fertile-bed for Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Several types of AI are already being employed by healthcare providers and life sciences companies. The review summarises a classical machine learning cycle, different machine learning algorithms; different data analytical approaches and successful implementation in haematology. Although there are many instances where AI has been found to be great tool that can augment the clinician’s ability to provide better health outcomes, implementation factors need to be put in place to ascertain large-scale acceptance and popularity.
Swiss Defence Industry in the Global Arms Trade – Successes and Challenges
Authors: Palavenis Donatas
Published: March 2021

When we talk about the Defence Industry (DI), arms transfers, and military expenditures we mostly refer to data accumulated by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). In the SIPRI Top 20 list of largest exporters of major arms for 2019, small states hold consecutive positions: Israel takes 8th place, Switzerland is 13th, and Sweden, Norway, and Belarus place 15th, 17th, and 20th respectively. The author analyses the Swiss DI case due to several reasons; its place in SIPRI Top, its sharp rise of Swiss arms exports in the recent year, its Swiss neutrality strategy, the country’s multilingual society, and its all-government approach to the arms industry, though still contributing to the limited scholarly studies on contemporary Swiss DI. This paper aims to explore Swiss DI and its strategies, to identify the country’s defence and security policy influence towards DI, and to discuss the Swiss DI stance and future perspectives in the context of the global arms trade. At the same time, this paper also highlights Swiss DI successes and failures that could be of significant use to other small states aiming to develop or enhance their relevant DIs.

Peningkatan tekanan darah pada akseptor kontrasepsi oral dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan usia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengkaji risiko dan laju kejadian hipertensi berdasarkan perbedaan usia akseptor kontrasepsi oral. Metode penelitian bersifat analitik observasional dengan rancangan studi kohort retrospektif. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pengumpulan basis data akseptor yang menggunakan kontrasepsi oral di Puskesmas Perumnas II, Pontianak. Data yang digunakan adalah data akseptor baru yang menggunakan kontrasepsi oral selama Januari hingga Desember 2017. Periode ini merupakan tanggal indeks penggunaan kontrasepsi atau tanggal dimulainya penggunaan kontrasepsi oral pertama kali oleh akseptor.  Perjalanan penggunaan kontrasepsi oral oleh akseptor diikuti sampai akhir penelitian (30 Oktober 2019). Akhir pengumpulan data penelitian dikelompokkan menjadi kelompok usia ≤ 30 tahun dan kelompok usia >30 tahun dengan menganalisis risiko dan laju kejadian hipertensi. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teknik purposive sampling. Pengambilan data dilakukan berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi. Data akseptor yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi sebanyak 75 orang. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan uji khi kuadrat, analisis Kaplan-Meier, cox proportion hazard test, dan uji t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok usia >30 tahun berisiko 3,376 kali lebih besar mengalami kejadian hipertensi dibandingkan kelompok usia ≤30 tahun (p =0,016; RR=3,376; CI 95%=1,085-10,50). Laju kejadian hipertensi pada kelompok akseptor dengan usia >30 tahun lebih cepat 4,045 kali dibandingkan dengan kelompok akseptor yang berusia  ≤30 tahun (HR=4,045; CI 95%=1,18-13,88). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah usia akseptor >30 tahun memiliki laju kejadian hipertensinya lebih cepat dibandingkan akseptor dengan usia ≤30 tahun.

Callophyllum soulattri Burm. F. merupakan salah satu spesies dari genus Callophyllum. Salah satu kandungan metabolit sekunder dari C. soulatrri adalah golongan senyawa steroid. Golongan steroid mempunyai beragam bioaktivitas antara lain antiinflamsi, antioksidan, antipoliferasi, antibakteri, antimalaria dan antikanker. Eksplorasi tumbuhan C. soulatrri masih terbatas oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan isolasi dan identifikasi metabolit sekunder dari tumbuhan tersebut. Satu senyawa golongan steroid telah berhasil diisolasi dan diidentifikasi dari ekstrak kayu batang C. soulattri. Metanol dipakai sebagai pelarut untuk maserasi, sedangkan fraksinasi dan pemurnian menggunakan metode Kromatgrafi Vakum Cair (KVC) yang dipantau dengan Kromatografi Lapis Tipis (KLT). Senyawa hasil isolasi ditentukan strukturnya dengan metode spektroskopi FTIR dan NMR (1H NMR, 13C NMR, HSQC dan HMBC) serta dibandingkan dengan pustaka. Berdasarkan hasil interpretasi spektra FTIR dan NMR, senyawa yang berhasil diisolasi dari ekstrak metanol kayu batang C. soulatrri adalah β-sitosterol berbentuk padatan berwarna putih.

Case:

There is a paucity of literature regarding pediatric upper cervical spine traumatic instability, atlanto-occipital dislocations, and fractures, with no clear treatment algorithm. We present a 12-year-old girl with significant posterior C1-C2 distraction and resultant ligamentous injury after a motor vehicle collision who was treated with a halo vest for 3 months. At 8-month follow-up, follow-up magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated complete ligamentous healing without instability on dynamic radiographs, and at 18-month follow-up, the patient made a full recovery.

Conclusion:

In some pediatric patients with isolated posterior ligamentous injury, as long as anatomic alignment can be achieved with halo-vest application, a fusion may be avoided.
