The concept of “Kampus Merdeka” in the current policy of Indonesian higher education: ELT lecturers’ perspectives
Authors: Sukirman Sukirman
Published: March 2022

This study aims to advance global readers’ understanding of current Indonesian higher education policy associated with students’ rights.  The researcher conducted document analysis on official regulations and interviewed lecturers to gain data about their response on the policy. The most obvious findings to emerge from this study that the Indonesian government tries to address the global challenges of higher education by transforming the paradigm of learning limited not to only classroom activities, instead providing flexibility for students to learn outside the classroom. Students should have flexibility to explore their competences by applying directly to either the societies or workplaces. Students should realise that experience is the best life-teacher to lead them to be independent and strong individuals. Learning should not always take place in the classroom; however, every place can be a medium for learning, since nature is the source of learning. Regardless the participants’ views on the current policy as the impacts neoliberal ideology, this transformation is supposed to provides positive impacts not only on students’ personal but also social, academic, and ethical domains by balancing their academic and social lives. In addition, the current policy is also intended to prepare students to respond global competitiveness and rapidly transforming societies, workplaces, and environments by mastering demanding competencies in the 21st century. Therefore, rapidly curriculum adjustment is always needed in responding any social phenomena that may significantly affect the policy making of educational system, as contextualised by the present study from Indonesian context dealing with the demands to conduct ELT curriculum adjustment as the response on the current policy. The implications of the findings are further discussed.

Published: March 2022

The Mishrif and Yamama Formation are the main reservoirs in the Garraf oilfield, Nasiriyah city, of the Euphrates Subzone, Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq. The Garraf oilfield structural pattern corresponds with the similar anticline forming the oilfields of Rafidain and Dujaila and is parallel to the main trend of Zagros, indicating simple coaxial deformation.
The petrophysical properties are evaluated using the Interactive Petrophysics V3.5 software. This comprises determining the lithology, mineralogy, and matrix for the investigated reservoirs, as estimating clay volume, total, effective, and secondary porosity, water saturation, permeability, and determining the net pay and gross thickness.
The findings of this investigation indicated that the Mishrif formation is divided into two main units separated by a marl layer, with the upper unit having poor reservoir qualities and the lower unit having favorable ones. As a result, there are nine reservoir units in the lower main unit (M1, M1.2, M2, L1, L1.2, L2, L2.2, L2.3, and L2.4). The best and largest reservoir unit capacity is Unit L1.2, with exceptional petrophysical characteristics. Lower units L2.2, L2.3, and L2.4 are nearly saturated in reservoir water, with a little oil in some wells.
YA, YB1, and YB2 are the three reservoir units that make up the Yamama formation. Unit YA is the best reservoir unit because of its petro physical properties.

Published: March 2022

Introduction. The use of gentamicin in the neonatal period is categorized as a risk factor for hearing loss. Gentamicin belongs to a group of aminoglycoside antibiotics that mainly act on Gram-negative bacteria. Due to its high efficacy, low drug resistance, and low production and treatment costs, aminoglycosides are widely used, especially in developing countries. This drug damages both the cochlear and vestibular parts of the inner ear. Hearing damage after gentamicin administration is irreversible. Aim. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate gentamicin ototoxicity in children based on comprehensive hearing tests. Material and methods. Between January 2019 and June 2020, 33 children were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatric Otolaryngology at UCK WUM who were treated with gentamicin in the perinatal period. All children underwent comprehensive audiological diagnostics: acoustic otoemission, tympanometry and auditory brainstem evoked response (BERA).
Therapeutic standards for haemorrhoidal disease in Europe and the United States

Published: March 2022

Haemorrhoidal disease is the most common anorectal reason for medical appointments. The grade of the disease is an important aspect in qualification for treatment. Banov grading system, which distinguishes 4 grades of disease based on the degree of haemorrhoid prolapse, is the most commonly used classification system. While the majority of researchers are in agreement as to the use of conservative treatment in the initial stage of the disease, the treatment of grade II and III patients raises much controversy, and the developed therapeutic standards differ from country to country. We present the therapeutic standards applied in the United States, some European countries and in Japan. The initial conservative treatment of the disease is common for the presented algorithms of therapeutic management. Interestingly, infrared photocoagulation, which is very rarely performed in Poland, has its permanent place in the treatment of moderately advanced hemorrhoidal disease in most European algorithms. Some of expert opinions seem extreme, e.g. adding sphincterotomy to haemorrhoidectomy to reduce postoperative pain. We also propose our own therapeutic algorithm, which considers Polish realities.
A patient with Crohn’s disease – from diagnosis to therapy onset. Therapeutic standards vs. reality – a case report
Authors: Glinkowski Sławomir , Marcinkowska Daria
Published: March 2022

Crohn’s disease is a nonspecific inflammatory bowel disease. The first symptoms tend to be non-specific, which can cause diagnostic difficulties. Full-thickness inflammation of the bowel wall, which may involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract, is a landmark of this disorder. Terminal ileum is the most commonly affected area, as also described in the presented case. Surgical treatment should be as least invasive as possible due to the high probability of another surgical intervention. We present a case of a patient previously repeatedly treated for anal abscess in an outpatient setting in the USA. The patient was admitted to the surgical ward due to perineal phlegmon in the course of recurrent anal abscess. He was qualified for abscess incision. During hospital stay, the patient developed symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding. Diagnostic endoscopy of the large bowel revealed macroscopic lesions typical of Crohn’s disease. Repeated attempts to transfer the patient to a unit specialised in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) have been unsuccessful. Due to the deteriorating general condition and progressive anaemisation, the patient was qualified for surgery. The end section of the ileum was resected and an end ileostomy was created. After stabilisation of the general condition, the patient was discharged home having been recommended to continue treatment in a gastroenterology clinic, in a centre specialised in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases.

Published: March 2022

Tracer gas studies were carried out to investigate the potential for airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 variants, and to inform work practises to reduce COVID-19 exposure and transmission. The air exchange of a meeting room was determined in accordance with ASTM E741-11 using sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), a colourless, odorless, non-flammable, and non-toxic tracer gas. Air was generally well mixed in the room, and very little tracer gas escaped through the closed door. The calculated air changes per hour (ACH) of the meeting room (5.8 h-1) was higher than the value recommended for offices (2-3 h-1) and used to assess potential COVID-19 infection risk and calculate maximum occupancy rates using the Airborne Infection Risk Calculator (AIRC) V3 Beta. Results showed that the previous guidance for maximum occupancy rates provided by many Australian States and Territories (the 2 or 4 square meters rule) provides a conservative estimate of the maximum number of occupants within a room for exposure events of up to 2 hours. However, for longer periods, such as a full working day (7.5 hours), and for more infectious strains of SARS-CoV-2, the 2 or 4 square meter rule did not adequately address infection risk. Use of two additional controls, mask wearing and ensuring that all occupants had received a third boosted vaccine dose, was estimated to reduce the probability of infection by 3.75-fold assuming infection with the Omicron variant. Including both controls increased the predicted maximum occupancy to values greater than the 2 and 4 square meter rule for most scenarios. Air movement outside the meeting room was investigated by filling the room with tracer gas and allowing the air to move freely by keeping the door open. Airflow was most influenced by the ventilation system of the laboratories in the north wing of building, rather than laboratories in the south wing. The plug of tracer gas was largely removed from the building within 30 minutes, although detectable concentrations were measured in some areas with lower air flow at the end of the 2-hour experiment. High concentrations were also noted in front of the elevators, however tracer gas concentrations were below detection on other floors. The techniques employed in this study are suitable for measuring air movement and ventilation in other buildings where aerosol transmission of COVID-19 is of concern.

Authors: Mannat Madan  , Saksham Gupta  , Manish Samnani
Published: March 2022

INTRODUCTION: A constantly growing knowledge base is the fundamental requirement for any profession to survive in the ever-changing demands of the healthcare community. Early exposure to research and related activities is quintessential to developing a knack for research. AIM: To determine the attitudes, perspectives and barriers to research in Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy in undergraduate students. MATERIALS AND METHOD:  A survey-based study design was opted to carry out this research. An online survey was circulated among 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th year students and interns of various physiotherapy and occupational therapy colleges in India. A Likert type scale and percentage analysis was used to infer results. RESULT: A total of 145 responses were received where students from all the years participated equally. Although most students had a positive attitude towards research, they had not been involved in any research activity. The students found research relevant to their lives, however, they felt conducting research is a challenging undertaking. Despite their desire to do research and their belief that there is a demand for researchers in the allied health field, the students were unable to participate in research due to a variety of hurdles identified in the study. The challenges identified, from major to minor were universities prioritising education over research, a lack of enthusiasm for research, a lack of funding at universities, poor infrastructure, a lack of supervisors, insufficient training, and lastly a lack of interest and good proposals. CONCLUSION: The majority of students believed that research is valuable to their future careers. They had an optimistic outlook towards research. It identifies the major impediment, which is universities' lack of emphasis on research activity at the undergraduate level among other typical roadblocks must be overcome to ensure a desirable outcome.

Oil pulling is extensively used traditional Indian folk remedy to prevent decay, bleeding gums, oral malodor, dryness of throat, cracked lips and for strengthening teeth, gums, and jaws. In this procedure, the practitioners rinse their mouth with approximately one tablespoon of an ordinary cooking oil for 3-20 min, then spits it. This practice is usually performed on a daily basis. This technique is believed to cure more than thirty systemic diseases when practiced regularly and as directed. As a result of  side effects to modern medicines and oral hygiene products, people are increasingly attracted towards such traditional practices. The present article attempts to review and discuss this ancient practice and its effects on one’s oral and general health.

Published: March 2022

The use of over-the-Counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals is a common phenomenon in today's society. We present a case of liver injury associated with long-term OTC use of vitamin A. The young patient took daily up to 15 capsules of a combined preparation for 2 years containing retinol palmitate 55 mg (100,000 IU) + Alpha-Tocopherol acetate 100 mg, the content of vitamin A in which significantly exceeded the recommended daily dose. Gradually, the patient noted the appearance of arthralgia, skin itching, hyperemia of the palms and feet, exfoliation of the skin on the soles, profuse hair loss, cracks in the corners of the mouth and in the area of the earlobes. Patient's condition worsened with the development of signs of liver cirrhosis in the form of portal hypertension (ascites, splenomegaly) and a decrease in the protein-synthetic function of the organ. Chronic viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, alcoholic liver disease were exclude. Liver biopsy showed characteristic signs of hypervitaminosis A without fibrosis. A complete regression of symptoms was observe within 8 months after discontinuation of the drug. A toxicity can lead to serious liver injury and should be considere in the differential diagnosis of chronic liver disease. Vitamin A should only be prescribe for medical reasons, for a limited period of time, and under close medical supervision.
Pancreatic cancer risk: alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
Authors: Grigor’eva Irina N.
Published: March 2022

This article provides an overview of the metaanalyzes (PubMed, 19952019) of alcohol and non-alcoholic (coffee, tea, dairy products) beverage consumption in relation to risk of pancreatic cancer PC (PubMed, 19952019). Increased the PC risk was associated with high alcohol intake. The increased risk for heavy drinking did not explained by residual confounding by history of pancreatitis or tobacco smoking or diabetes. Light-moderate alcohol intake may reduced the PC risk, probably due to the fasting insulin levels decrement, which leads to the diminished the РС risk. The association between alcohol and the PC was stronger in men than in women. Some metaanalyzes demonstrated that a small amount of coffee may reduce PC risk, and a large amount to increase PC risk. Another meta-analyzes have not confirmed any association between the PC risk and coffee or tea consumption. One meta-analysis revealed a direct association of the PC risk with the dairy products consumption, but most research showed no such connection. Nutrition is considered to be associated with the PC risk, but the degree of risk due to structure of beverages consumption (dose, duration, alcohol, coffee, tea, dairy products pattern) is still not clear.

Fish is primary protein source for human being in the universe. Overall 50 fish specimen of Eutropiithys vacha were collected from Indus River, Head Tounsa, Pakistan to check the effect of calcium and magnesium in the fish by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in fish showed highly significant correlation between size (weight and length) and body burden of E. vacha. Calcium and magnesium, showed isometric relationships with body weight of wild E. vacha, indicating increase of concentrations of Ca and Mg in direct proportion to an increase in body weight of E. vacha. While Ca and Mg showed negative allometric relation in increasing fish length suggesting that these metals accumulate at a smaller proportion compared to its excretion rate as the E. vacha increases in length. Condition factor for E. vacha ranged from 0.447 to 0.930 and remained constant with metal concentrations in wet weight of the fish. The result displayed that the concentration of macroelements (Ca and Mg) in the examined fish sample were significantly affected by fish size.

Inequality in Food Consumption and Diet Diversity: Evidence from Turkey
Authors: DEMİRDÖĞEN Alper , OLHAN Prof.dr.emine , AYKAC Gokhan
Published: March 2022

Hunger is one of the devastating problems in the world. More than eight hundred million people are undernourished. However, hunger is one part of the food security problem. In addition to the undernourished people, two billion people have also health problems due to overweight, and obesity. Therefore, the topic of food security needs to be discussed in the context of consumption distribution. This paper estimates food consumption inequality in Turkey. Using more than 150 thousand households’ monthly expenditures, it shows how food inequality changes throughout 2003-2017. In addition to food consumption inequality, we estimate diet diversity inequality and show the impact of income on it. Our study finds that food consumption inequality increased after the food crisis of 2007. Food consumption inequality is mostly intensified in rural areas. We do not find any differentiated effects of income, education, and employment. Rich households have a more diversified diet than poor households. However, diet diversity increased for all households, especially in the last five years. Income has a negative impact on diet diversity in rich households, positive impact in poor households. Therefore, income decreases diet diversity inequality. Our results show the importance of food distribution in the discussion of food security policies.
DYNAMICS OF WELFARE OF THE POPULATION AS A RATING OF THE INTEGRATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOCIETY
Authors: N.V. Lazareva
Published: March 2022

The article covers in detail the issues of interaction between the mechanisms of economic regulation and the ecology of stability, as they are increasingly intertwined with each other. Every year various conferences are held around the world to find out how the economy can develop in harmony with environmental security and stability. Therefore, there is the term sustainable development, which implies development that organically links the satisfaction of the material needs of the current generation of the inhabitants of the Earth with the preservation of the environment, its fossils and living resources, in such a way as to ensure the maximum potential for growth and future generations of the inhabitants of the planet.
The problems of growing pollution, the unsustainable use of scarce natural resources, and increasing people's awareness of the importance of environmental security and its sustainability have influenced the emergence of political ecology. This branch of science (which lies between ecology and politics), this science should influence economic models, including environmental issues, rational resources, consumption issues and waste disposal.
Another very young discipline that deals with the efficient use of scarce resources is the circular economy. Here, too, there is a trade-off between sustainable use of natural resources and economic growth and job creation. The circular economy is emerging in various areas of research. Today, governments of various countries, companies and individuals are increasingly aware that the use of technology and the growth of economic potential should not adversely affect the environment. Since the governments of many countries (mostly developed) have shown an increasing interest in the environmental situation, we began to meet more terms dedicated to the preservation of the environment.
As a result of this policy, we often encounter terminology such as: sustainable development, global environmental trends, green economy, ecotourism, environmental protection, regional issues, technological impact on the environment, eco-political issues, social responsibility, corporate responsibility

El siglo XXI se ha caracterizado desde sus inicios por una problemática de salud que ha afectado al mundo, que va desde un incremento de la resistencia microbiana, aumento de las enfermedades oncológicas hasta la aparición de nuevas enfermedades infecciosas emergentes y reemergentes, como ha sido la aparición de la COVID-19 a finales del pasado año. Los coronavirus son una extensa familia de virus que pueden causar enfermedades tanto en animales como en humanos. En los humanos, se sabe que varios coronavirus causan infecciones respiratorias que pueden ir desde el resfriado común hasta enfermedades más graves como el síndrome respiratorio de Oriente Medio (MERS) y el síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SRAS). La COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) también conocida como enfermedad por nuevo coronavirus es causada por el coronavirus del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS-CoV-2), su forma es redonda u ovalada y a menudo polimórfica, tiene un diámetro de 60 a 140 nm, la proteína espiga que se encuentra en la superficie del virus y forma una estructura en forma de barra, es la estructura principal utilizada para la tipificación, la proteína de la nucleocápside encapsula el genoma viral y puede usarse como antígeno de diagnóstico. Produce síntomas similares a los de la gripe, entre los que se incluyen fiebre, tos, disnea, mialgia y fatiga. También se ha observado la pérdida súbita del olfato y el gusto (sin que la mucosidad fuese la causa). En casos graves se caracteriza por producir neumonía, síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda, sepsis y choque séptico que conduce a alrededor del 3 % de los infectados a la muerte, aunque la tasa de mortalidad se encuentra en 4,48 % y sigue ascendiendo.
Effectiveness of Various Foliar Fertilizer on the Growth and Performance of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Seedlings in Main Nurseries
Authors: Sukmawan Yan , Riniarti Dewi
Published: March 2022

Fertilizer can be applied through soil and leaves. Fertilizer application through leaves is more effective than soil application due to faster nutrient absorption. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of applying various foliar fertilizer compositions on the growth and performance of oil palm seedlings. The research was conducted from April 2020 to September 2020 at the Oil Palm Nursery Unit at Politeknik Negeri Lampung. A single factor in a completely randomized design with four replications was used in the experiment. The treatment involved the nutrient composition of foliar fertilizer consisting of five levels, namely control (no fertilizer), NPK 20-15-15, NPK 27-18-9, NPK 11-8-6, and NPK 27.5-5.5-4.8. Measurements were made on seedling height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf greenness, rachis length, and leaflet length. The data were analyzed by means of variance, followed by orthogonal contrast if the result was significantly different. The results showed that the application of foliar fertilizers could increase the growth of seedling height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf greenness index, rachis length, and leaflet length. Generally, a foliar fertilizer application gives better results than without a foliar fertilizer application (control). There was no difference in the powder and liquid foliar fertilizer effect on increasing the growth of oil palm seedlings. The formulation of NPK 20-15-15 and NPK 11-8-6 foliar fertilizer had a better effect on the leaf greenness index of oil palm seedlings.
A Meta-Analysis of Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Stay-Green in Sorghum
Authors: Aquib Ahmed , Nafis Shadma
Published: March 2022

A strong association between stay-green and post-flowering drought tolerance in sorghum has been established previously. In this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to find relevant genetic intervals that regulate stay-green in sorghum and thereby affect drought resilience. Meta-QTL analysis was performed to combine 115 QTLs mapped in previous studies and locate regions where recurrent QTLs occurred across experiments. This approach overcomes the constraints of a single QTL association experiment by increasing heterogeneity in populations and environments. The analysis included the construction of consensus maps, QTL projection, and QTL clustering. We report 32 Meta-QTL for stay-green and their position relative to genetic markers on the sorghum genome.

One way to solve problems in mathematics is to think algebraically. Algebraic thinking is thinking using generalization abilities, transformational abilities, and global meta-level abilities to solve problems. A person's ability to overcome and solve problems is called Adversity Quotient (AQ). There are three categories in Adversity Quotient (AQ): climber, camper, and a quitter. This study aimed to describe the profile of students' algebraic thinking in solving mathematical problems in terms of Adversity Quotient. This research is qualitative research with the subjects of this research are three grade IX junior high school students with different AQ categories. The instruments in this study were Adversity Response Profile (ARP) questionnaires, Problem Solving Tests (TPM), and interview guidelines. The qualitative data analysis technique follows the Miles and Huberman concept, which consists of three stages: data reduction stage, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study indicates that climber students perform all stages in solving problems and fulfill all indicators of algebraic thinking. Camper students did not carry out the re-examination stage in solving problems and only carried out generalization activities in algebraic thinking. Quitter students do not perform the steps in solving problems and do not fulfill all the indicators of algebraic thinking.

Background. Heart failure is the leading cause of death among all cardiovascular diseases. The five-year survival rate in such patients is 50%. In most cases, heart transplantation is the treatment of choice in these patients. However, its use is limited by severe and progressive donor organ deficiency.

The aim. To study the effectiveness of immunosorbent-based hemosorption in comprehensive conservative treatment of patients with end-stage heart failure.

Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the results of treatment in 59 patients 90% men, 10% women; mean age 41.3 ± 12.4 years; NYHA IIB-III, baseline left ventricular ejection fraction 21.1 ± 4.66%, left ventricular endsystolic volume 206.87 ± 84.1 ml, left ventricular end-diastolic volume 264.4 ± 86.02 ml) hospitalized for end-stage heart failure was performed. Conservative therapy was carried out following international guidelines and was supplemented by a course of 2-4 hemosorption procedures for which hemosorbent granulated deliganding was used. The Student’s t-test was used to analyze the data.

Results. The clinical condition of all patients improved after the performed hemosorption procedures by at least one NYHA class. The brain natriuretic peptide level decreased from 1281.17±165.33 pg/ml to 859.48±113.38 pg/ml (p<0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction increased by 10.77±4.3% (to 29.36 ± 6.27%) (p<0.01), and after 12 months it was 34 ± 2.59% (p<0.05). Left ventricular end-systolic volume decreased by 68.75±43.56 ml (to 137.77 ± 33.21 ml), left ventricular end-diastolic volume decreased by 41.38±31.48 ml (to 238.04 ± 82.1 ml) (p<0.05).

Conclusions. The use of hemosorption with hemosorbent granulated deliganding, against the background of conservative treatment of end-stage heart failure, improves the contractile function of the heart and general clinical condition of patients.

Background. Implementation of conduction system permanent pacing methods in patients with cardiac bradyarrhythmias allows to maintain the physiological sequence of excitation and contraction of the ventricles and to avoid the development of heart failure due to electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with high rates of ventricular pacing.

Case description. A 61-year-old female patient was examined and treated at the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine from January 25 to January 27, 2022 at the department of surgical treatment of complex cardiac arrhythmias with a diagnosis of proximal complete atrioventricular block. A two-chamber pacemaker (Vitatron Q50A2) with a ventricular lead to stimulate the His bundle region (Medtronic 3830, 69 cm) was implanted to the patient with a special delivery system (C315HIS). At an X-ray operating room, 12 ECG leads from the electrophysiological station LabSystem Pro (Bard, USA) were connected to the patient to analyze the criteria for capturing the conduction system on stimulation during ventricular lead placement, and a diagnostic quadripolar electrode was inserted into the right ventricle to record the potential of the His bundle as an X-ray reference point. During placement of the ventricular lead in the area of the His bundle due to high pacing thresholds the decision was made to implement an alternative method of conduction system pacing – left bundle branch pacing through the interventricular septum. After gradual passage of the electrode through the septum, capture of the conduction system of the heart was achieved, although no clear potential of the left bundle was registered. The interval from stimulus to peak R wave in lead V6 was 68 ms, and the interval from stimulus to peak R wave in lead V1 was 110 ms. The difference between intervals was 42 ms, which indicated the criteria of nonselective capture of the left bundle branch, with stimulation thresholds below 1 V at a pulse length of 0.5 ms. In the postoperative period, the patient was evaluated for global longitudinal deformity of the left ventricle on constant ventricular stimulation, which was carried out according to standard methods using speckle-tracking echocardiography; no signs of dyssynchrony were found. Also, the location of the endocardial electrode in the middle segments of the interventricular septum on the right ventricular side was visualized and confirmed by performing B-mode transthoracic echocardiography with subcostal access.

Conclusions. Left bundle branch pacing, like His bundle pacing, maintains electrical and mechanical synchrony of the left ventricle at lower pacing thresholds, greater amplitude of the sensitivity signal and lower risks of lead dislocation.
