Published: January 2021

Medication therapy management (MTM), is a service model aimed at helping general health problems by preventing morbidity and mortality. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease which is a serious health problem which requires long-term therapy.  This study aims to see the effect of MTM on clinical Outcomes and quality of life of patients in hypertensive patients. This type of research is a quasi experimental one group with a pretest-posttest design. Analysis using paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon test with a significance used P <0,05. Respondents were 70 people, 67,1% were women. The characteristics of the majority age are 55-64 years with a percentage of 51,4%, the majority of education level is high school with 42,8%, non-civil servant jobs with a percentage of 45,7%, the length of diagnosis is dominated by 1-10 years (77,1%) and comorbidities diabetes mellitus occurred the most (10,0%). The results showed that the quality of life increased from before getting MTM 54,4 ± 8,9 and after MTM intervention 60,4 ± 6,6 (P value <0,001). Clinical outcome from systolic 159,2 ± 8,9 mmHg and diastolic 103,8 ± 8,0 mmHg before MTM to 144,1 ± 14,4 mmHg for systolic and 89,7 ± 8,8 mmHg for diastolic with p value <0,001 (p <0,05) for systolic blood pressure and p value: 0,016 (p <0,05) after receiving MTM intervention. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) has a significant influence on improving the quality of life and clinical Outcomes of hypertensive patients. The higher the quality of life of patients, blood pressure becomes more controlled.
Pengaruh Variasi Suhu Hidrotermal dan Aktivator Kalium Hidroksida (KOH) terhadap Kemampuan Hydrochar sebagai Adsorben pada Proses Adsorpsi Limbah Cair Metilen Biru
Authors: Askaputra Aziz , Yuliansyah Ahmad Tawfiequrahman
Published: January 2021

Oil palm shell is one of biomass-wastes which is abundantly found in palm oil industries. Its economical value can be enhanced by converting it into hydrochar using a hydrothermal carbonization process (HTC). In this study, preparation of oil palm shell hydrochar was performed and the material was used as adsorbent to remove methylene blue from waste water. Effects of HTC temperature, KOH activator concentration, and adsorption time were studied. Functional groups of hydrochar were evaluated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Meanwhile, the uptake capacity of hydrochar to adsorp methylene blue was measured by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that dehydration and decarboxylation reactions took place more progressively at the higher temperature of HTC. It was also found that activation process resulted higher removal efficiency of methylene blue. The highest adsorption capacity (16.58 mg/g, with removal efficiency 99.51%) was obtained by hydrochar prepared by HTC 270°C, KOH 1.5 N, and carried out for 80 minutes.Keywords: activator; adsorption; hydrothermal carbonization; methylene blue; oil palm shellA B S T R A KTempurung kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu limbah biomassa yang jumlahnya cukup melimpah di industri minyak kelapa sawit.

The time that money requires: Use of the future and critique of the present in financial valuation
Authors: Muniesa Fabian , Doganova Liliana
Published: January 2021

The future is persistently considered in the sociology of finance from two divergent, problematic angles. The first approach consists in supplementing financial reasoning with an acknowledgement of the expectations that are needed in order to cope with an uncertain future and justify the viability of investment decisions. The second approach, often labelled critical, sees on the contrary in the logic of finance a negation of the future and an exacerbation of the valuation of the present. This is an impasse the response to which resides, we suggest, in considering the language of future value, which is indeed inherent to a financial view on things, as a political technology. We develop this argument through an examination of significant episodes in the history of financial reasoning on future value. We explore a main philosophical implication which consists in suggesting that the medium of temporality, understood in the dominant sense of a temporal progression inside which projects and expectations unfold, is not a condition for but rather a consequence of the idea of financial valuation.
Strange loops: Producing history in financial times
Authors: Samman Amin
Published: January 2021

History in Financial Times is in many ways a book about writing, but one of the questions it leaves hanging is where the power of writing runs out. Throughout the book, I make various claims about the ability of narrative discourse to shape the temporal and historical signatures of contemporary experience, and in so doing, to produce rather than simply record or reflect the sense of development and change we expect from ‘history’. Yet when confronted with the thoughts of colleagues generous enough to take part in this forum, I am struck by the difficulty of responding to these in a way that might feel like a step forward, of writing something that pushes past the point at which History in Financial Times cuts off. Whether that is a fault of the book is not yet clear to me, although it seems equally plausible that this is one of its strengths. I will try to explain what I mean by this through a discussion of three questions that emerge in the forum, all of which strike me as not just fundamental questions, but deadlocks of a very peculiar kind - deadlocks we cannot hope to shake off, let alone answer once and for all. These relate to the contemporary status of historical discourse, financial market logics, and above all the figure of the ‘strange loop’, a conceptual device I borrow from Douglas Hofstadter (2007) and put forward as a means of reorienting the theory and philosophy of history. Before discussing each of these points in turn, it seems appropriate to offer some further, brief remarks on the contours of the book and why it departs from conventional forms of historicism in political economy.
Campo y habitus en el análisis de microcosmos políticos: el caso del lopezobradorismo
Authors: Sánchez Díaz Daniel Arturo
Published: January 2021

En la presente nota de investigación se discute la utilización de los conceptos campo y habitus, provenientes de la teoría social de Pierre Bourdieu, en el análisis de microcosmos políticos específicos. A partir de etnografías realizadas en manifestaciones y movilizaciones en apoyo a Andrés Manuel López Obrador durante la campaña de 2018, y al interior de organizaciones de Morena, se analiza el lopezobradorismo desde la categoría campo, reconstruyendo el orden simbólico y la jerarquía de posiciones que lo estructura. Asimismo se aborda la configuración de esquemas de percepción, concepción y acción al interior de este subcampo político y cómo los mismos se asocian a las posiciones relativas de los actores. Se establece la ruta metodológica para la construcción de las categorías señaladas en el trabajo empírico realizado. Finalmente se discuten las implicaciones analíticas del empleo de estas categorías en el estudio de prácticas, relaciones y subjetividades al interior de microcosmos políticos particulares y cómo el trabajo empírico contribuye a la construcción del campo y habitus político.

Authors: Alfonso Cantillo Ofir , Sánchez Ansola Eduardo
Published: January 2021

Teniendo en cuenta la velocidad y cantidad de datos que se generan en la actualidad, se ha convertido en una necesidad la creación de sistemas capaces de procesarlos en breves periodos de tiempo. La información espacial no queda exenta de esto por lo que la utilización de Sistemas de Información Geográfica se ha convertido en una necesidad. GeoServer es uno de los servidores de mapas que brinda estas funcionalidades mediante servicios. Uno de estos servicios es la geocodificación, que se define como el proceso de convertir una dirección postal en coordenadas geográficas. Una petición de geocodificación puede contener una o varias direcciones, siendo esta última conocida como geocodificación por lotes y puede estar compuesta por una cantidad ilimitada de direcciones. Una de las técnicas que se utiliza para aumentar la capacidad de procesamiento de los sistemas geocodificadores es la computación paralela, que utiliza múltiples elementos de procesamiento para resolver determinado problema. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en la disminución de los tiempos de respuesta de los algoritmos de geocodificación de direcciones por lotes. Para lograr dicho objetivo, se desarrollaron varias versiones para la geocodificación haciendo uso de la computación paralela. Cada una de estas versiones fue incluida en el servidor de mapas GeoServer como un servicio web y fueron evaluadas, mediante la utilización de pruebas estadísticas, con el fin de obtener cuál de todas las versiones ofrece menor tiempo de procesamiento. Tanto para el desarrollo de las variantes como para su validación, se tuvieron en cuenta direcciones postales del territorio nacional cubano, pues es el alcance pretendido con este trabajo. A partir de la evaluación realizada se puede afirmar que la versión del algoritmo desarrollada de forma independiente de la base de datos de referencia es en la que mejores tiempos se ofrecen las respuestas.

Authors: Valdez Bahena Adolfo , De León Aldaco Susana Estefany , Aguayo Alquicira Jesus
Published: January 2021

El desarrollo de topologías de inversores multiniveles ha dado lugar a diversas técnicas de modulación de ancho de pulso, entre las más utilizadas están las que utilizan señales portadoras múltiples. Sin embargo, el inconveniente de la aplicación de este tipo de técnicas de modulación es que es necesario generar un gran número de señales de conmutación para todos los dispositivos de semiconductores de potencia que componen el inversor. Los conjuntos de puertas programables en el campo son una herramienta poderosa que permite obtener estas señales de manera rápida y precisa. El propósito de este artículo es describir la metodología utilizada para generar digitalmente las señales de conmutación para un inversor multinivel utilizando una tarjeta de desarrollo tipo “arreglo de campos de compuertas programable”. El procedimiento utilizado se divide en dos programas: un script Matlab y un código creado en Quartus II. El proceso de diseño presentado es fácil, rápido, flexible y aplicable a otras técnicas de modulación multiportadora. La técnica de modulación implementada en la tarjeta de desarrollo y se verifica experimentalmente en un inversor multinivel en cascada trifásico para generar cinco niveles de tensión de salida con diferentes velocidades de modulación. Los resultados obtenidos experimentalmente se comparan con los obtenidos en la simulación con el software PSpice. El análisis de los resultados permite comprobar el correcto funcionamiento de la técnica de modulación aplicada

Published: January 2021

Research conducted at several places in Indonesia stated that mass treatment can reduce the level of endemicity of filariasis. Tanah Bumbu Regency has conducted mass treatment for 4 years in a row with the results of MF rate in sentinel villages decreased, However, there are still filariasis sufferers who do not take the drug so that research is needed in other spot villages in Tanah Bumbu Regency to determine the success of POPM. This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional design that was conducted at the Satiung/spot village. The sampling technique is based on treatment evaluation rules. Respondents who are willing to have their blood drawn will be examined for the presence of microfilaria using microscopic methods and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and will be asked a questionnaire about the characteristics and compliance of respondents to POPM. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables and graphs. Total respondents 318 with the characteristics are mostly housewives at a productive age range, the percentage of respondents taking drugs is quite high at 86.16%, but still found the respondents did not take a medicine that can cause further infection source. PCR examination found 2 positive samples of Brugia malayi microfilaria from 318 samples (Mf rate = 0.63%), the average density of 116.9 in 1 ml of blood in one patient did not routinely take medicine every year. Efforts should be made to increase public compliance with POPM by conducting counseling and supervision on taking drugs.

CSR and tax avoidance: A review of empirical research
Authors: Kovermann Jost , Velte Patrick
Published: January 2021

This article is a literature review that covers quantitative empirical research on the association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate tax avoidance. We conduct a structured literature review and evaluate the empirical-quantitative results with regard to the CSR–tax avoidance link and vice versa. The association between CSR and tax avoidance is both theoretically and empirically ambiguous. However, the majority of studies finds a negative association between CSR and tax avoidance. Nevertheless, results are highly dependent on measurement of the respective constructs and other marginal conditions. Comparability of recent research on the issue is in particular limited due to heterogeneous CSR and tax avoidance metrics and due to a potentially bidirectional relationship. Results imply that there is not necessarily a stable association between CSR performance, as measured by CSR scores or ratings, CSR reporting, and a firm’s tax practices. Thus, socially responsible investors have to make a decision about whether they are prepared to invest in firms that have high CSR scores and strong CSR performance while aggressively avoiding taxes. Investors who perceive tax payments as part of a firm’s responsibility towards society, have to select their investments with great care, as CSR scores and CSR reporting are of only limited informative value with regard to tax avoidance

Published: January 2021

Objective Explore the nature of postnatal cardiovascular morbidity
following pregnancies complicated by preterm pre-eclampsia and identify
associations between pregnancy characteristics and postnatal
cardiovascular function. Design Observational sub-study of a
single-centre feasibility randomised double-blind placebo-controlled
trial. Setting Tertiary maternity hospital, UK. Population Women with
preterm pre-eclampsia, delivering <37 weeks. Methods Eligible
women underwent echocardiography, arteriography and blood pressure
monitoring <3 days, 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum.
Correlations between pregnancy and cardiovascular characteristics were
assessed using Spearman’s correlation. Main Outcome Measure Prevalence
of cardiovascular dysfunction and remodelling 6 months following preterm
pre-eclampsia. Results Forty-four women completed the study. At 6
months, 27 (61%) had diastolic dysfunction, 33 (75%) had raised total
vascular resistance (TVR) and 18 (41%) had left ventricular
remodelling. Sixteen (46%) women had de novo hypertension by 6 months
and only 2 (5%) women had a completely normal echocardiogram.
Echocardiography did not change significantly from 6 weeks to 6 months.
Earlier gestation at delivery and lower birthweight centile were
associated with worse 6-month diastolic dysfunction (E/E’: rho=-0.39,
p=0.001 & rho=-0.42, p=0.005) and TVR (rho=-0.34, p=0.02 & rho=-0.37,
p=0.01). Conclusions Preterm pre-eclampsia is associated with persistent
cardiovascular morbidity 6 months postpartum in the majority of women.
These cardiovascular changes have significant implications to long-term
cardiovascular health. The graded severity of diastolic dysfunction and
TVR with worsening pre-eclampsia phenotype suggests a dose-effect.
However, the mechanistic link remains uncertain. Funding Medical

OBJECTIVE

With rising global prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR), automated DR screening is needed for primary care settings. Two automated artificial intelligence (AI)–based DR screening algorithms have U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Several others are under consideration while in clinical use in other countries, but their real-world performance has not been evaluated systematically. We compared the performance of seven automated AI-based DR screening algorithms (including one FDA-approved algorithm) against human graders when analyzing real-world retinal imaging data.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This was a multicenter, noninterventional device validation study evaluating a total of 311,604 retinal images from 23,724 veterans who presented for teleretinal DR screening at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Puget Sound Health Care System (HCS) or Atlanta VA HCS from 2006 to 2018. Five companies provided seven algorithms, including one with FDA approval, that independently analyzed all scans, regardless of image quality. The sensitivity/specificity of each algorithm when classifying images as referable DR or not were compared with original VA teleretinal grades and a regraded arbitrated data set. Value per encounter was estimated.

RESULTS

Although high negative predictive values (82.72–93.69%) were observed, sensitivities varied widely (50.98–85.90%). Most algorithms performed no better than humans against the arbitrated data set, but two achieved higher sensitivities, and one yielded comparable sensitivity (80.47%, P = 0.441) and specificity (81.28%, P = 0.195). Notably, one had lower sensitivity (74.42%) for proliferative DR (P = 9.77 × 10−4) than the VA teleretinal graders. Value per encounter varied at $15.14–$18.06 for ophthalmologists and $7.74–$9.24 for optometrists.

CONCLUSIONS

The DR screening algorithms showed significant performance differences. These results argue for rigorous testing of all such algorithms on real-world data before clinical implementation.
Puhummeko nyt rasismista?
Authors: Ryynänen Sanna
Published: January 2021

Rasismi-sanaan liittyy epävarmuutta siitä, mitä se on ja missä yhteyksissä sitä voi käyttää. Yksi syy hämmennykseen on se, että sanaa on opittu varomaan. Myös osa rasismintutkijoista käyttää tutkimuksessaan muita termejä välttyäkseen rasismi-sanan aiheuttamalta vastareaktiolta. Kun rasismia on ryhdytty korvaamaan ”turvallisemmilla” termeillä, niiden merkityssisällöt ovat alkaneet hämärtyä. Tutkimuskirjallisuudessa käytetään rinnakkain ja jopa samaa tarkoittavina syrjintää, toiseuttamista, ksenofobiaa, rodullistamista ja rasismia ilman, että termien välisiä merkityseroja useinkaan pohditaan tai avataan kunnolla. Sanahämmennyksen seurauksena rasismikeskustelua käydään tutkimuksessa – ja myös laajemmin yhteiskunnassa – ilman selkeää käsitystä siitä, miten ilmiökentän termit tulisi ymmärtää ja miten niitä käyttää. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen sitä, miten rasismi ja sen lähikäsitteet on nähty suomenkielisessä mediatutkimuksen kirjallisuudessa. Sen jälkeen käyn läpi keskeisten termien eroja ja merkityssisältöjä suomalaisen ja kansainvälisen tutkimuskirjallisuuden pohjalta. Päämääränä on helpottaa termien käyttöön liittyvää epävarmuutta ja epätietoisuutta.
The Space and Place of Humans and Humanity in Language: Arabic and Indonesian Compared
Authors: MUASSOMAH MUASSOMAH , ABDULLAH IRWAN , FAISOL M. , TOISUTA HASBOLLAH
Published: January 2021

Language, aside from representing the culture of a people, also constructs humankind and humanity. Arabic conceptualizes humanity differently than the world's other languages, such as Indonesian. In Arabic, humans are positioned as subordinate, as dependent on God, whereas in Indonesian they are characterized as autonomous. This article seeks to analyse how language positions humans within their relationships with God, other humans, and nature. Arabic and Indonesian both incorporate implicit concepts of human being, godliness, and humanity, and thus these languages have broad space for defining humanity's relationship with God. This article concludes that Arabic positions humans as creatures whose values and attitudes are dependent on God, while Indonesian positions humans as autonomous and free creatures. The link between Arabic and religion and between Indonesian and culture has informed how these languages conceptualize and position humanity. This study recommends a comprehensive comparative investigation of how various languages position and understand humans and humanity.

Published: January 2021

AbstractThis research discusses the history of isra'iliyyat in the tafsir book and what is the law of narrating isra'iliyyat. While in the isra'iliyyat narration there is difference whether it is permissible or not and how the isra'iliyyat narration is contained in the tafsir books. The method used in this research is qualitative literature study (Library Research). The results show that the history of Isra'iliyyat is in accordance with Islamic syari'at, then the truth of Israiliyyat can be recognized and allowed to narrate it. Otherwise if it is contrary to Islamic law, it considered unthrue and may not be narrated, but this is allowed if the position has been explained in the interpretation. On the other hand, if there is no information in the Islamic Sharia regarding the content of israiliyyat, then the step that must be chosen is tawaquf, which is not punishing whether it is true or not.   AbstrakPenelitian ini membahas tentang riwayat isra’iliyyat dalam kitab tafsir serta bagaimana hukum meriwayatkan isra’iliyyat. Dimana dalam periwayatan isra’iliyyat terdapat perbedaan apakah boleh atau tidak serta bagaimana periwayatan isra’iliyyat yang terdapat dalam kitab-kitab tafsir. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif studi pustaka (Library Researh). Adapun hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa riwayat Isra’iliyyat tersebut sesuai dengan syari’at Islam, maka dapat diakui kebenarannya dan diizinkan untuk meriwayatkannya, sedangkan jika bertentangan dengan syari’at Islam maka didustakan dan tidak boleh diriwayatkan, namun diperbolehkan jika dijelaskan kedudukannya. Adapun jika belum ada keterangan sesuai atau tidaknya dengan Syari’at Islam maka tawaquf di dalamnya, yaitu tidak menghukumi benar atau tidaknya.Kata Kunci: Riwayat Israiliyyat, Tafsir al-Qur’an, Asal usul dan Hukumnya.

Abstrak. Elektroda merupakan salah satu komponen yang dapat meningkatkan kinerja sel superkapasitor. Pada penelitian ini elektroda karbon berasal dari limbah biomassa pelepah nipah. Persiapan awal dimulai dari proses prakarbonisasi pada suhu 200˚C dan selanjutnya diaktivasi secara kimia menggunakan KOH sebagai aktivator dengan konsentrasi 1M. Serbuk karbon aktif diubah menjadi bentuk monolit menggunakan Hydrolic press dan kemudian diikuti oleh proses karbonisasi pada suhu 650, 700 dan 750˚C, kemudian diaktivasi fisika dengan mengalirkan gas CO2 pada suhu 900˚C. Karakterisasi sifat fisis elektroda karbon menunjukkan bahwa densitas sampel PN650 yang dikarbonisasi pada suhu 650˚C memiliki nilai densitas paling rendah. Karakterisasi struktur mikro menunjukkan bahwa elektroda karbon memiliki struktur semikristalin yang ditandai dengan kehadiran puncak (002) dan (100) pada sudut 2θ sekitar 24˚ dan 43˚. Hasil karakterisasi struktur mikro juga menunjukkan bahwa sampel PN650 memiliki nilai Lc tertinggi yaitu sebesar 7,947 nm. Analisa sifat elektrokimia menunjukkan bahwa sampel PN650 mempunyai nilai kapasitansi terbesar yaitu 223,55 F/g. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa suhu 650˚C merupakan suhu terbaik dalam proses pembuatan elektroda karbon dari pelepah nipah untuk diaplikasikan sebagai elektroda sel superkapasitor.Abstract. The electrode is one of the components that can increase the supercapacitor cell performance. In this research, the carbon electrode derives from waste of palm midrib biomass. Initial preparation was started from the pre carbonization process at 200˚C and then was chemically activated using KOH as an activator with a concentration of 1M. The activated carbon powder was converted into a monolith form using a hydraulic press and then was followed by carbonization process at 650, 700 and 750˚C, then physical activation by flowing CO2 at 900˚C. Characterization of the physical properties of the carbon electrode showed that the density of the PN650 sample carbonized at 650°C had the lowest density value. Microstructure characterization indicated that the carbon electrode had a semi crystalline structure, it was characterized by the presence of peaks (002) and (100) at an angle of 2θ around 24˚ and 43˚. The results of the microstructure characterization also showed that the PN650 sample had the highest Lc value of 7.947 nm. Analysis of electrochemical properties showed that the PN650 sample had the largest capacitance value of 223.55 F/g. It can be concluded that 650˚C was the best temperature in the process of making carbon electrodes from palm leaf midrib to be applied as supercapacitor cell electrodes.Keywords: Ketaping, Activated Carbon, Supercapacitor, Activator, Capacitance.
