Published: January 2024

Abstract. The awar-awar plant (Ficus septica Burm. F.) generally grows in the lowlands to the mountains. This plant is usually used to treat skin diseases, appendicitis, boils, poisonous snake bites and shortness of breath. Apart from that, empirically people use awar-awar stem bark as an anticancer drug because it is thought to contain secondary metabolite compounds which have cytotoxic activity. With this background, it is necessary to carry out further research, namely a cytotoxic test, on Artemia franciscana Kellogg shrimp larvae to determine compounds that have anticancer potential. This research was carried out with the aim of determining the content of secondary metabolite compounds, the cytotoxic activity of awar-awar (Ficus septica Burm. F.) stem bark, and the Lethal Concentration (LC50) value of the ethanol extract of awar-awar (Ficus septica Burm. F.) stem bark. The cytotoxic test was carried out using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method on Artemia franciscana Kellogg shrimp larvae. The parameter observed was the death of shrimp larvae. Based on this test method, the LC50 value was determined by calculating the linear regression equation using Probit analysis. The results of the research showed that in the bark of awar-awar stems, the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenoids/steroids was detected, and the ethanol extract of awar-awar stem bark had cytotoxic activity with an LC50 value of 33,93 ppm.

The study analyzed the input use patterns, soil nutrient status, costs, and returns of brinjal under organic and conventional production systems in Tamil Nadu. Purposive sampling was employed to select the sample respondents. A total of 86 respondents were selected for the present study. Soil samples were analysed to examine the nutrient status in both the organic and conventional fields. The results showed that the amount spent (Rs.15389 /ha) on inorganic inputs by conventional farmers was found to be higher than an organic inputs spent by organic farmers. The analysis of soil nutrient status in both the production systems revealed that the availability of total major nutrient was higher in organic fields ranging from 34-53 per cent over conventional fields. The total cost of cultivation of organic brinjal was lower in organic fields than conventional field by Rs. 15732/- per hectare. Yield was 1660 kg lower in organic farms than conventional farms. However, net return per ha from brinjal cultivation under organic methods was found to be higher than conventional method by Rs. 45981/-. This is mainly due to higher price for produce, and reduction in cost of cultivation. It is evident that organic farming helps to achieve higher profitability and also to enhance soil fertility due to the use organic inputs.

O MOVIMENTO INSIDER COMO MÉTODO CONTEXTUAL NA ESTRATÉGIA MISSIONÁRIA JUNTO AO ISLÃ
Authors: GUZMAN HANNY BRCIC , SCHLIECH LEONARDO LEOMAR
Published: January 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é oferecer diretrizes para o testemunho cristão junto aos muçulmanos, reconhecendo os desafios e oportunidades que surgem ao contextualizar a mensagem bíblica com outra fé mundial. A tentativa de contextualizar a mensagem bíblica em geral, e através do movimento insider em particular, tem gerado contenções entre teólogos e missiólogos em relação aos limites da contextualização, além do risco da possibilidade do sincretismo em algumas abordagens missiológicas junto a essas comunidades. Este artigo constrói sua argumentação sobre três aspectos centrais: a descrição dos cinco pilares do islamismo e suas implicações para o testemunho cristão; as pontes entre o cristianismo e islamismo através da comparação de aspectos selecionados da teologia cristã e islâmica; e, finalmente, as possibilidades de contextualização, apresentando uma categorização dos espectros de contextualização gradativa em relação a identidade cultural na evangelização transcultural no contexto muçulmano (C1-C6). A análise apresentada foi obtida a partir de metodologia de revisão bibliográfica de cunho missiológico.

Authors: Dorcélus Ludentz , Alexandre Emmanuel R. , Villemenay Charnee M. , Benjaminel Scaïde U. , Charles Eddie
Published: January 2024

Background

Adequate glycemic control prevents acute complications and reduces the risk of long-term complications, the use of services, and societal costs. In clinical practice, achieving good glycemic control for a diabetic patient over the long term is a challenge, considering the complexity of the factors. No study to date has been carried out on diabetic patients and the factors that may be linked to poor glycemic control in Haiti. The main objective of this study was to identify factors related to poor glycemic control in diabetic patients.

Methods

This analytical cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the long-term management of diabetic patients. Patients seen in an outpatient clinic in Saint-Nicolas Hospital (Saint-Marc, Haiti) from March to May 2022 were recruited. During this period, 268 diabetic patients were seen during their routine medical visits, of which 226 met our criteria and agreed to participate. They were interviewed by the examiners, with questions that allowed us to assess the association of poor glycemic control according to the American Diabetes Association objectives, with demographic and clinical factors identified from our literature review. The analysis included descriptive, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression using Epi Info 7.2.2.6. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

The majority, 84.96%, was of female sex with a mean age of 60 ±9.87. More than half of the patients (59.29%) had their diagnosis for at least 5 years, and 67.26% had poor glycemic control. According to the Morisky score, 50.88% had good adherence. The main comorbidities were hypertension and obesity/overweight, 95% and 59%, respectively. Multivariate analysis after logistic regression showed that pathological proteinuria (odds ratio (OR)= 2.20, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0356 - 4.6920, p=0.04) and patients receiving both oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin (OR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.0613 - 6.3109, p=0.03) increased the probability of having poor glycemic control.

Conclusions

Patients on oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin who also had pathological proteinuria were linked to poor glycemic control. Strengthening patient education before optimizing pharmacological treatment would improve glycemic control, preventing renal complications. A larger study considering other potential barriers would be necessary to add further knowledge to what this study has presented.

Authors: Fischhoff C  , Vincent K
Published: January 2024

Saphenous nerve entrapment is a painful condition of the thigh. It is commonly managed conservatively, but there is a lack of consensus on the application of new treatment options such as injections with platelet rich plasma (PRP) or sugar water 5% (S5W). Over the last decade, regional PRP and S5W injections have become more recognized for the treatment of orthopedic complaints, sports injuries and peripheral neuropathies because of easy application and interesting safety profile. Sugar water injections also come with a low cost. This article describes a 44-year-old runner suffering from bilateral pain in the inner thighs, knees and inner calves for two years. He was treated successfully with three weekly ultrasound-guided S5W injections. This case report is an invitation to design more research to confirm whether this novel approach may become one of the new tools for athletes suffering from saphenous nerve entrapment.
The Amended Value Added Tax Issues and Improvement Measures Related to Copyright Trust Management: Focusing on the Case of Music Copyright Trust Management
Authors:   Korea Copyright Commission, Park Soo Jin , PARK HA-YOUNG
Published: January 2024

Korea’s Value Added Tax Act had treated the supply of goods or services related to trust property in a manner similar to consignment transactions, without explicit statutory provisions. In 2020, the amended Value Added Tax Act (Act No. 17653, dated December 22, 2020, partially amended, enforced from January 1, 2022) designated the trustee as a taxpayer and established specific regulations aimed at preventing tax avoidance and securing tax claims related to trusts.
The amended Value Added Tax Act primarily focused on real estate trusts and money trusts, giving insufficient attention to copyright trusts, which are mainly used for the management and utilization of copyrights.
When examining the issues arising from the amended Value Added Tax Act, focusing on the case of music copyright trust management organizations, first, Copyright trust management organizations are expected to bear a significant amount of tax compliance costs in carrying out business registration obligations for trust property belonging to trusts established after January 1, 2022. Next, in accordance with Article 5 of the supplementary provisions of the amended Value Added Tax Act, a situation may arise in which consignor taxation and trustee taxation are applied simultaneously for a considerable period of time, which may undermine the original purpose of introducing the copyright trust, which is to effectively manage and utilize copyright for copyright holders and users. Finally, when applying the consignor’s taxation regulations in cases where the consignor is unknown, Value Added Tax Act does not specify otherwise. Furthermore, within the trustee’s taxation regulations, there are no regulations addressing the application of Value Added Tax exemption on copyright fees.
As recommendations for addressing the Value Added Tax issues surrounding copyright trust management, the following are proposed. First, the regulations on the registration of trust property comprehensive businesses allowed for real estate collateral trusts of trust companies should be allowed for copyright trust management organizations approved by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism under Article 105 of Copyright Act. Next, when applying Article 5 of the Supplementary Provisions to the revised Value Added Tax Act, copyright trust management organizations must be allowed to selectively exclude application. Finally, in consideration of the characteristics of copyright trusts, a value-added tax practice in the form of consignment trading centered on copyright trust management organizations should be prepared.
This study is meaningful in that it presents issues and improvement measures in VAT practice related to intellectual property rights not addressed in the VAT area, especially copyright trust management systems using copyright as trust property.

The analysis revealed that the emergence of wasting food content trends on TikTok was related to the coherence between globalization as the root of the era of technological progress, the ideology of capitalism driven by changes in people's mindsets, and active participatory culture as capitalist behavior that promotes the wasting food content for the sake of individual satisfaction (fame and trendiness) and profit. This study also concluded that TikTok served as the social media which offered public benefit in the form of creative video content that might violate the social norms.

Objetivo: esta investigación tuvo como propósito recoger la perspectiva de 256 jóvenes de la Comuna 13 de la ciudad de Medellín, acerca de su percepción sobre la legitimidad que han conseguido las organizaciones criminales para ejercer la violencia y establecer órdenes territoriales en la ciudad. Metodología: el proceso estuvo dividido en dos momentos, el primero, el análisis por las principales teorías del Estado para comprender la unidad del mismo sin competir con otras organizaciones armadas por su hegemonía territorial, y lo segundo, el análisis de la perspectiva de los jóvenes de la Comuna 13 sobre la legitimidad de violencia que han adquirido muchas de estas organizaciones sobre todo en los primeros diez años del siglo XXI. Resultados: para el caso de la ciudad de Medellín, se realizó un breve recorrido sobre los antecedentes de violencia y dominación territorial que se abordan desde los inicios del Cartel de Medellín en los años de 1980, pasando por la expansión del paramilitarismo, hasta la consolidación de las diferentes organizaciones criminales que operan en la ciudad y que dominan la «seguridad» en los barrios, y a su vez, son las causantes de extorsiones, homicidios, micro-tráfico de armas, drogas, personas y desplazamientos forzados a la población civil. Conclusiones: es posible considerar que, en estos momentos, la ciudad de Medellín al igual que muchos municipios de Colombia tienen un serio problema de legitimidad para ejercer los procesos de control y seguridad sobre barrios, comunas o distritos (dependiendo la ciudad), lo que debe llevar al replanteamiento de políticas públicas de seguridad y la consideración de la idea de cuadrantes para el caso de la acción policial.
Dinámicas sociales, económicas y culturales:

Published: January 2024

Resulta innegable que los cambios de la última década —en especial, los que se han presentado desde la pandemia en el año 2019— han posibilitado nuevos espacios de reflexión en las diferentes dimensiones del mundo social en busca de nuevas formas de vida que respondan a los desafíos y retos de una sociedad cambiante en un mundo cada vez más complejo (Bonil et al., 2004). Se presentan nuevas formas de entender la realidad en las que, desde la ciudadanía, la política, la economía y la cultura se realizan discursos y acciones que intencionalmente generan cambios y transformaciones sociales (Searle, 2010). Ante estas exigencias diversos investigadores han iniciado, desde sus estudios en los diferentes campos del saber, una serie deapuestas para el cambio. Para responder a estos desafíos, los autores de los trece artículos que componen este número de Ánfora plantean nuevas dinámicas que permitan avanzar hacia una sociedad del bienestar en la que se generen acciones para alcanzar la paz, se proteja el ambiente, se aporte a la economía sostenible y se transite hacia una cultura en la que prime la formación de las capacidades del ser y sus interacciones con el mundo, a partir de los saberes construidos en la ciencia moderna, el arte y los saberes ancestrales.

Published: January 2024

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been widely applied in environmental health, including determining the locations of waste banks. Currently, in Batam City, there is no mapping-based system available to track the distribution of waste banks, posing challenges for residents to access information about nearby waste bank locations. Population growth is correlated with rising household demands, including the need for food, clothing, and housing. People need their basic necessities to survive. The industries of manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and communication have all seen significant advancements since the Industrial Revolution. With the advent of information and technology (IT), all of those areas' development in the 19th and 20th centuries was larger and faster. Hence, this study introduces a management information system with mapping technology for waste banks in Batam City. Employing a descriptive analysis approach, the software development follows the waterfall method, and Unified Modeling Language (UML) serves as the design tool. The resulting system proves effective in providing information on Waste Bank locations and assisting administrators in managing Waste Bank location data.

A balanced mixture of cement, sand, stone or brick chips, and water is carefully allowed to form concrete, a man-made building material. These elements can be adjusted appropriately to produce concrete with a variety of qualities. Although concrete may endure compressive forces, like natural stone, tensile forces can cause it to crack. As a result, crack formation is afrequentoccurrence in concrete, allowing various foreign chemicals and water to enter the structures and shortening their life span. The likelihood of cracking grows with time due to variations in humidity and temperature. It can be exceedingly expensive to maintain or repair concrete construction items. The use of bio-concrete for the construction of durable structures has shown to be quite advantageous in this perspective. It is beneficial for improving the properties of concrete as well as lowering maintenance costs. In this investigation, concrete samples measuring 100×100×100 mm weremade and periodically tested for compressive and split tensile strength testing. Following a 28-day curing period, the concrete treated with Escherichia coli bacteria had compressive and split tensile strengths that were 10% and 23% higher than identical bacteria-free. The non-destructive test on cylindrical samples was then conducted to evaluate the material qualities. The mortar samples of crystalline structures were also validated by SEM examination. In order to properly and reliably anticipate the strength of concrete, the RSM model was also formulated.

Biofuel is a new type of fossil fuel that is usually derived from biomass waste. Studies found that lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) has the potential to become a new source for biofuel production. Even so, it is a challenging process to fully utilise the potential of cellulose in LCB due to the chemical structures of the lignocellulose biomass. Pre-treatment of LCB is one of the most crucial steps in converting LCB into bioethanol products. In this study, the potential of production for bioethanol from Bambusa Wray bamboo species via dilute sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) pre-treatment and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was explored. The effect of H2SO4 and NaOH pre-treatment on the chemical structure of Bambusa Wray was studied using Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis. The impact of different concentrations of H2SO4 during pre-treatment towards the concentration of glucose produced was investigated using the dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. The availability and the amount of bioethanol produced during the SSF were analysed using FTIR. It was found that, a noticeable decrease in the intensities of absorption peaks can be observed at 1604, 1462 and 1242 cm-1 after being treated with sequential acid-alkaline pre-treatment. It indicates the removal of lignin from the sample. It was reported that 4% H2SO4 + 5% NaOH produces the highest glucose concentration, 6.491 mg/ml, compared to untreated bamboo, which only produces 1.158 mg/ml. At the end of the study, bioethanol was absent in the sample due to the availability of yeast. Overall, it was proven that Bambusa Wray is capable of producing enough glucose for production of bioethanol.
