An Adapted Cancer Screening Education Program for Native American Women With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Their Caregivers: Protocol for Feasibility and Acceptability Testing
Authors: Armin Julie S , Williamson Heather J , Rothers Janet , Lee Michele S , Baldwin Julie A
Published: November 2022

Background

Women with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) do not undergo breast and cervical cancer screening at the same rate as women without IDD. IDDs are diagnosed in childhood, are lifelong, and involve difficulties in adaptive behaviors and intellectual functioning. Native American women also experience disparities in breast and cervical cancer screenings. Despite known disparities, women with IDD are often not included in health promotion programs, and there is a need for evidence-based programming for those with intersectional identities, such as Native American women with IDD.

Objective

This study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of My Health My Choice (MHMC), an adaptation of the Women Be Healthy 2 program. There are 2 parts to the study: adaptation of the Women Be Healthy 2 program and feasibility and acceptability testing of MHMC.

Methods

Individuals aged over 18 years who identify as Native American females with IDD and their caregivers (N=30 women-caregiver dyads) are eligible for the study. Participants, who are affiliated with 2 partnering sites in Arizona (1 rural and 1 urban), complete pre- and postsurveys assessing knowledge, self-efficacy, and screening expectations before and immediately after completing the program. In addition, all participants complete brief satisfaction surveys after each of the 6 educational sessions. A subsample of Native American women with an IDD (n=12), caregivers (n=12), and community health educators (n=2) who participate in the MHMC program will provide semistructured qualitative input regarding the content, delivery, and cultural relevance of the program.

Results

The adaptation of the culturally responsive MHMC program was completed in August 2021. In November 2021, the project team began recruitment for feasibility and acceptability studies. Feasibility will be examined using participation metrics, and acceptability will be measured using satisfaction measures. Pre- and postmeasures in cancer screening knowledge, self-efficacy, and screening expectations will examine improvements among participants.

Conclusions

The results of feasibility and acceptability testing of MHMC will guide future implementation studies of the program.

Authors: Hughes Zachary , Simkowski Julia , Mendapara Parry , Fink Nicolas , Gupta Sparsh , Youmans Quentin , Khan Sadiya , Wilcox Jane , Mutharasan R Kannan
Published: November 2022

Background

Low rates of heart failure (HF) hospitalizations were observed during the 2020 peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, posthospitalization follow-up transitioned to a predominantly telemedicine model. It is unknown whether the shift to telemedicine impacted disparities in posthospitalization follow-up or HF readmissions.

Objective

The aim of this paper is to determine whether the shift to telemedicine impacted racial and ethnic as well as socioeconomic disparities in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) follow-up and HF readmissions. We additionally sought to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the severity of ADHF hospitalizations.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study of HF admissions across 8 participating hospitals during the initial peak of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 15 to June 1, 2020), compared to the same time frame in 2019. Patients were stratified by race, ethnicity, and median neighborhood income. Hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates, inpatient mortality, 7-day follow-up, and 30-day readmissions were assessed.

Results

From March 15, 2019, to June 1, 2020, there were 1162 hospitalizations for ADHF included in the study. There were significantly fewer admissions for ADHF in 2020, compared with 2019 (442 vs 720; P<.001). Patients in 2020 had higher rates of ICU admission, compared with 2019 (15.8% vs 11.1%; P=.02). This trend was seen across all subgroups and was significant for patients from the highest income quartile (17.89% vs 10.99%; P=.02). While there was a trend toward higher inpatient mortality in 2020 versus 2019 (4.3% vs 2.8%; P=.17), no difference was seen among different racial and socioeconomic groups. Telemedicine comprised 81.6% of 7-day follow-up in 2020, with improvement in 7-day follow-up rates (40.5% vs 29.6%; P<.001). Inequities in 7-day follow-up for patients from non-Hispanic Black racial backgrounds compared to those from non-Hispanic White backgrounds decreased during the pandemic. Additionally, those with telemedicine follow-up were less likely to be readmitted in 30 days when compared to no follow-up (13.8% vs 22.4%; P=.03).

Conclusions

There were no major differences in HF ICU admissions or inpatient mortality for different racial and socioeconomic groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. Inequalities in 7-day follow-up were reduced with the advent of telemedicine and decreased 30-day readmission rates for those who had telemedicine follow-up.

Authors: Shu Sara , Woo Benjamin K P
Published: November 2022

Amid a worldwide pandemic in the setting of an era of rapidly developing technologies, we turn now to the novel and exciting endeavor of pioneering the metaverse. Described as the conglomeration of augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, the metaverse has widespread applications in multiple settings, including revolutionizing health care. It also holds the potential to transform geriatric medicine, introducing new dimensions through which we can prevent social isolation, encourage health and well-being, and offer a new dimension through which we manage chronic disease. Although it is still a futuristic and novel technology, the metaverse’s realization may indeed be closer than we think.
Pan-Canadian Electronic Medical Record Diagnostic and Unstructured Text Data for Capturing PTSD: Retrospective Observational Study
Authors: Kosowan Leanne , Singer Alexander , Zulkernine Farhana , Zafari Hasan , Nesca Marcello , Muthumuni Dhasni
Published: November 2022

Background

The availability of electronic medical record (EMR) free-text data for research varies. However, access to short diagnostic text fields is more widely available.

Objective

This study assesses agreement between free-text and short diagnostic text data from primary care EMR for identification of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Methods

This retrospective cross-sectional study used EMR data from a pan-Canadian repository representing 1574 primary care providers at 265 clinics using 11 EMR vendors. Medical record review using free text and short diagnostic text fields of the EMR produced reference standards for PTSD. Agreement was assessed with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy.

Results

Our reference set contained 327 patients with free text and short diagnostic text. Among these patients, agreement between free text and short diagnostic text had an accuracy of 93.6% (CI 90.4%-96.0%). In a single Canadian province, case definitions 1 and 4 had a sensitivity of 82.6% (CI 74.4%-89.0%) and specificity of 99.5% (CI 97.4%-100%). However, when the reference set was expanded to a pan-Canada reference (n=12,104 patients), case definition 4 had the strongest agreement (sensitivity: 91.1%, CI 90.1%-91.9%; specificity: 99.1%, CI 98.9%-99.3%).

Conclusions

Inclusion of free-text encounter notes during medical record review did not lead to improved capture of PTSD cases, nor did it lead to significant changes in case definition agreement. Within this pan-Canadian database, jurisdictional differences in diagnostic codes and EMR structure suggested the need to supplement diagnostic codes with natural language processing to capture PTSD. When unavailable, short diagnostic text can supplement free-text data for reference set creation and case validation. Application of the PTSD case definition can inform PTSD prevalence and characteristics.
Comparison of Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 Persistence Between Inorganic and Organic Sunscreen in Swimmers: Protocol for a Multicenter, Randomized, Noninferiority, Split-Body, Double-Blind Clinical Trial
Authors: Rachmani Karin , Yusharyahya Shannaz Nadia , Sampurna Adhimukti , Ranakusuma Respati W , Widaty Sandra
Published: November 2022

Background

Outdoor swimming athletes are often exposed to undesirable environmental conditions such as long-term sun exposure. The risk of sunburn can still occur in this population due to the loss of sunscreen and an increase in the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet rays, particularly ultraviolet B, in wet conditions. Some previous trials showed that organic sunscreens had a longer shelf-life than inorganic sunscreens after exercise due to their characteristics to bind better with the skin layer. Meanwhile, inorganic sunscreens tend to form layers on the skin’s surface so that they can be more easily removed. To our knowledge, no studies evaluate sunscreens' resistance, either inorganic or organic, after exercising in Indonesia.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the persistence of inorganic versus organic sunscreens used by swimmers. The primary objective is to assess whether the inorganic sunscreen is as good as the organic sunscreen in the field of the persistence of sunscreens after swimming for 1.5 hours.

Methods

This study is a randomized, split-body, double-blind, noninferiority, and multicenter clinical trial in Cikini, Jakarta, Indonesia. An estimated 22 athletes in each group, who aged 18-40 years and practice in the morning or afternoon, will be randomized using a computer-generated randomization method. We calculated the sample size using the difference in the average decrease in sun protection factor (SPF) levels that is considered significant based on the clinical judgment set by the researchers, which was 5. Neither the research subjects nor the researchers are aware of the type of sunscreen that will be applied. The hypothesis will be tested using paired-sample t test or Wilcoxon to assess the difference of SPF levels in each group between organic and inorganic sunscreens with SPSS (version 20.0; IBM Corp).

Results

This study has been approved by the Ethical Committee Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia and is funded by the International Publication Grant from Universitas Indonesia. The enrollment process was completed in December 2020.

Conclusions

This study will test all procedures in preparation for conducting the main study, including several potential obstacles and challenges from the perspective of participating physicians and eligible swimmers. The study results will be disseminated through publications in a peer-reviewed journal with Open Access format. This study will provide information about SPF 30 persistence in sunscreens and the best type of sunscreen to be used while swimming, particularly for athletes.

Effects of a cognitive-based intervention program using social robot PIO on cognitive function, depression, loneliness, and quality of life of older adults living alone: A Quasi-experimental design (Preprint)
Authors: Lim JunSeo
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Social robot interventions are being implemented to reduce cognitive decline, depression, and loneliness among older adults. However, the types, functions, and programs of effective social robots have not yet been confirmed.
Objective: This study investigated whether social robot intervention is effective in improving cognitive function, depression, loneliness, and quality of life in older adults living alone.

OBJECTIVE

This study investigated whether social robot intervention is effective in improving cognitive function, depression, loneliness, and quality of life in older adults living alone.

METHODS

This study used a non-equivalent control group pre-test–post-test design. It was conducted twice a week, with each session lasting 50 minutes; twelve sessions were conducted over 6 weeks. This study was conducted at three senior welfare centers in Korea. A group of approximately ten people used the PIO social robot. The total participants included 64 people in the experimental (n=31) and control groups (n=33) and consisted of older people living alone over 65 years of age.

RESULTS

There was a statistically significant difference in the pre-post values for cognitive function (z=5.21, P<.001), depression (z=-2.99, P=.003), and loneliness (t=-4.27, P<.001) in the experimental and control groups. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the quality of life (z=1.84, P=.066).

CONCLUSIONS

It was confirmed that a cognitive intervention program using the social robot PIO can improve cognitive function and reduce depression and loneliness in older adults living alone.
The role of vitamin D for the management of depression in the Western Ukrainian population with autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism
Authors: Kamyshna Iryna
Published: November 2022

Background. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is known to be an essential endocrine disease that affects the population and may lead to hypothyroidism. This disease is one of the most common autoimmune diseases. Hypothyroid patients frequently experience signs of depression, which is prevalent among other symptoms in hypothyroidism. Data from recent research has proved that vitamin D deficiency may cause depression manifestations in the population. The aim of our work is to study the effect of cholecalciferol on the level of depression in the Western Ukrainian population with autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism. Materials and methods. The study included 56 patients with hypothyroidism caused by autoimmune thyroiditis. We identified the severity of depression levels using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Examinations were performed at the beginning and by the end of a 12-week treatment. Results. In patients of group 1 who received cholecalciferol and L-thyroxine, the level of depression on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale decreased by 40%, while in those who received only L-thyroxine, by 25%. In addition, there was a significant difference between patients in groups 1 and 2 after treatment (p=0.003). That is, additional cholecalciferol on the background of L-thyroxine was more effective than therapy with L-thyroxine alone. Analysis of the effect of treatment in group 1 with the additional administration of cholecalciferol on the background of L-thyroxine has shown that depression disappeared in 21.4% of patients. In addition, there was a decrease in depression in other participants from this group. Thus, in the remaining patients, the severity of depressive manifestations decreased from moderate to mild depressive disorder. At the same time, after treatment with L-thyroxine alone, depressive disorder of moderate severity decreased from 78.6 to 35.7%, but complete disappearance of depression in this group of patients after treatment was not observed. Conclusions. Vitamin D supplementation should be administered in patients suffering from autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism, which may correct depression disorders.
The relationship between vitamin D deficiency and insulin resistance during pregnancy
Authors: Boychuk A.V. , Budnik T.O.
Published: November 2022

Background. Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with metabolic complications during pregnancy, including insulin resistance. Physiological processes during pregnancy contribute to increased insulin resistance, which, in turn, is the main symptom of gestational diabetes. There is evidence that excessive weight gain during pregnancy negatively affects the concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). The aim of the study was to determine the effect of vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency during pregnancy on the occurrence of insulin resistance in the third trimester against the background of excessive weight gain. Materials and methods. The prospective study included 65 pregnant women with a gestation period of up to 20 weeks (on average 17 weeks). At the initial stage, a survey (body weight before pregnancy), and a clinical examination were conducted. Subsequent examinations were carried out in the second (20 weeks) and third (28 weeks) trimesters. Weight gain during pregnancy was calculated as the difference in body weight (between the third and second trimester) divided by the number of gestational weeks in that interval, following the Institute of Medicine guidelines. Gestational weight gain was classified as excessive, taking into account pre-pregnancy body mass index. Predicting the probability of insulin resistance (according to the HOMA-IR) was assessed by the dynamics of body weight gain. Results. Median 25(OH)D in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy was 23 and 24 ng/ml, respectively. Vitamin D insufficiency (25(OH)D < 30 ng/ml) was observed in at least one of the trimesters in 47 (72.3%) pregnant women, while the permanent nature of vitamin D insufficiency was noted in 36 (55.4%) cases. Vitamin D deficiency was established in 8 (12.3%) pregnant women in the second trimester. Excessive weight gain during pregnancy was observed in 34 (52.3%) women. Insulin resistance was determined in 31 (47.7%) pregnant women in the third trimester. The median of immunoreactive insulin concentration and HOMA-IR was higher among women with vitamin D deficiency. Conclusion. Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with insulin resistance in the third trimester of pregnancy, which depends on excessive gestational weight gain.
The effects of yoga on cardiovascular risk factors
Authors: Rao Aayushee , Kacker Sudhanshu , Saboo Neha
Published: November 2022

Cardiovascular diseases is a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease, peripheral artery disease, congenital heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. The most important behavioral risk factors for heart disease and stroke are poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and harmful alcohol use. The impact of behavioral risk factors may manifest in each individual as high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, overweight, and obesity. The purpose of this study was to give a thorough scientific analysis of yoga’s contribution to the management and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and related risk factors. The records are collected from several databases. We performed an extensive search of the PubMed/Medline electronic database. However, it is believed that the risk of cardiovascular disease can be reduced by adjusting for several risk factors, such as increasing physical activity and using relaxation to reduce stress, both of which are elements of yoga. As yoga has become an increasingly popular form of exercise, it could be an important intervention for primary and secondary cardiovascular disease prevention. Evidence suggests that regular exercise can reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, and it is beneficial when included in primary and secondary prevention strategies. This review assessed the effectiveness of yoga in reducing various cardiovascular risk factors (blood pressure, weight, body mass index, lipid profile, blood sugar). There is promising evidence that the practice of yoga improves cardiovascular health. Yoga practice length has a beneficial relationship with reducing the risk of сardiovascular diseases. Numerous studies used limited sample numbers, varied the forms and lengths of their yoga treatments, and omitted information on the processes behind change. The prevention and management of cardiovascular illnesses and associated risk factors, however, might be greatly aided by yoga. To even further understand the numerous possible mechanisms behind yoga’s effects, more research is necessary.
Medicinal treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism
Authors: Goncharova O.A.
Published: November 2022

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a hyperproduction of parathyroid hormone that is not provoked by a decrease in the blood calcium level, which leads to a violation of calcium homeostasis. The prevalence of PHPT has been increasing over the past 10 years due to improvements in its diagnosis. Currently, it ranks third by this indicator after diabetes and thyroid pathology. The leading clinical manifestations of PHPT are demineralization and resorption of bone tissue, as well as nephrolithiasis and the development of renal failure. It was found that a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate is inversely correlated with the level of parathyroid hormone and is associated with a greater decrease in bone mineral density. In addition, the frequency of left ventricular hypertrophy increases against the background of a significant persistent increase in calcium. Patients with the indicated symptoms due to an unestablished PHPT are under the supervision of orthopedists, cardiologists, and family doctors. Monitoring of PHPT is not a fully addressed issue today. This, in particular, is due to the fact that the functioning organizational system for the diagnosis of this pathology has significantly increased both the number of identified patients and the proportion of asymptomatic PHPT among them. Some people refuse surgery, which is currently recognized as the best option for the treatment of PHPT. Other patients have contraindications to surgery due to severe comorbid pathology. These factors increase the relevance for the development of the principles of medicinal treatment of pathology, which requires a serious analysis of existing drugs, their therapeutic potential, and the risk of complications in order to develop clinical recommendations. These questions became the basis of this review article. The base of scientific publications on PHPT and pharmacological aspects of the action of drugs in patients with this pathology were analyzed. It was found that among the full-text articles with the analysis of therapy effectiveness, the most common drugs of choice were bisphosphonates, calcimimetic cinacalcet, vitamin D and its analogues. Their prospects for the impact on the main symptoms of PHPT are carefully considered. The results of the analysis will allow clinicians to choose individual treatment approach to a particular patient.
The Impact of Inflation on Economic Growth in Nigeria
Authors: Bashir Danladi
Published: November 2022

This study investigates the impact of inflation on economic growth in Nigeria. The study employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model on the selected variables that are GDP, inflation, interest rate, money supply and government consumption expenditure from 1990-2020 (31 years). The findings from ARDL model reveal that inflation, interest rate and money supply exert significant negative impact on economic growth while government consumption expenditure exerts significant positive impact on the economic growth. Based on the findings, a more aggressive effort is needed by the government and monetary authorities to tackle the inflation and interest rate fluctuations to forestall the negative impact on the economic growth by ensuring their appropriate rates that will stimulate economic growth. Also the study recommends that government should ensure an appropriate level of money supply that will keep appropriate level of interest rate to avoid plunging the economy into liquidity trap to achieve an intrusive economic growth.

Abstract- Ecommerce, also known as electronic commerce refers to the buying and selling of various goods andservices online. In the recent days the word “Ecommerce “has become very familiar due to the internetboom and due to the kind of comfort (and other services) it provides to its users. Many companies haveeither established their business or have increased their profits with the help of Ecommerce. There arevarious studies which show that there is an exponential increase in the Ecommerce sales and services and it is very much evident that it will reach new heights in the upcoming years. Ecommerce businesses has seen a 265% growth rate, from $1.3 trillion in 2014 to $4.9 trillion in 2021also higher. With such a mass boom in Ecommerce people don’t prefer to buy goods offline since they receive more benefits by buying online. But unfortunately, there are a few problems that both the company and its customers are facing. And gradually such problems have been increasing and major issues were with regard to the faulty delivery system. To handle such situations, we propose a solution to avoid any delivery related problems that are caused during delivery and to put a stop to such problems by making sure every customer gets the products as it is by the dealer directly without any interference while delivering. This report discusses about the part of IoT in secured packaging solution,the proposed approach.

Published: November 2022

The formation of local political parties in Aceh is an example of an asymmetrical political policy being carried out by the Indonesian government in relation to Aceh's status as a region with a special autonomy. In that situation, the concept of accountability inside national political parties needs to be discussed as well in order to figure out how local party accountability is applied in Aceh. When it comes to the presentation of data connected to outcomes that have been produced by earlier researchers, this study makes use of the documentation approach. According to the conclusions of this study of Aceh's local political parties, the level of accountability and transparency that has been maintained by Aceh's local political parties in general has been pretty satisfactory. Even though in general terms the provisions are still not as good as they should be, the Aceh Party has become the most complete in carrying out its principle of financial accountability. This is the case despite the fact that the Aceh Party has become the most comprehensive.

RESOLUSI KONFLIK DI ASIA: ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN ACEH DAN SRI LANGKA
Authors: Marzaniar Putri
Published: November 2022

The conflicts in Aceh and Sri Lanka share many similarities. However, there have been significantly different post-tsunami dynamics of conflict resolution in Aceh and Sri Lanka. In this article, the conflict resolution processes in Aceh and Sri Lanka will be compared. The main goals of this article are to (1) identify the main factors that failed to resolve the Sri Lanka conflict and the main factors that contributed to the successful post-tsunami resolution of the Aceh conflict, and (2) to determine whether the Sri Lanka conflict's failure to be resolved will repeat in Aceh if Aceh is faced with a similar natural disaster (tsunami). This article uses a qualitative approach with multiple case studies. As a result, the author uses a scientific model that includes additional concepts, expert opinions, and theories about conflict resolution to comprehend and analyze the resolution of the Aceh conflict and the conflict in Sri Lanka. These findings demonstrate that the success or failure of post-disaster resolution in two areas depends critically on the level of trust between conflicting parties. As a reaction, the violations of the Helsinki Accords' terms are more likely to trigger a third wave of conflicts than future natural disasters In Aceh.
MODERNISASI PARTAI POLITIK DI ERA 4.0
Authors: Arsyi Arsyi
Published: November 2022

In a democracy, the presence of political parties is very much needed. Political parties act as the backbone for the journey of democracy in Indonesia, because political partiesplay arole in the political process in the legislativebody, government, and other related institutions. The existence of political parties is increasingly important for channeling collective will - presenting the interests of various groups in society that are held in general elections. Modernization of political parties refers to the process of development and evolution from lower levels to higher levels. Modernization has the meaning of transformation which means a change in the existing system in a country caused by the progress of globalization that involves changes in politics, social structure, culture and economic growth. Modernization of political parties is the dynamics of political modernization which implies a process of increasing complexity of human problems that require political action. In general, it can be said that politics is a matter that includes the differentiation of roles as well as integrating the organizational structure. The modernity of the role and organizational structure of politics implies the existence of political parties that act as a link between the public and the government. Community Participation in the 4.0 era also provides opportunities for increased political participationin campaigning on social media, where campaigns carried out through social media have different valuesfrom traditional campaigns. Modernization of political parties provides opportunities and obstacles that can facilitate the realization of a democratic government system. Modernization of political parties can increase public participation in transparently viewing the proposed political party but unlimited information can also be one of the problems that will destabilize unity due to hate speech among political parties or communities of political parties aimed at related political opponents.

Automatic modulation recognition via aligned signals and key features
Authors: Liu Fugang , Pan Jingyi , Zhou Ruolin , Jiang Xiaolin
Published: November 2022

Deep learning-based classification algorithms have been used for
automatic modulation recognition (AMR). However, most methods only focus
on end-to-end mapping and neglect the classic key features. In this
paper, signals are enforced with key classification features to propose
a novel deep learning model for AMR by learning the shared latent space
of the aligned signals and key features (LLAF); this is done to increase
the generalizability of the model and to ensure the physical
plausibility of the results. To obtain adequate signal representations,
an encoder-decoder architecture is proposed to learn the shared latent
space, and the architecture is trained to approximate prior label
distributions for precise signal classification. Simulation results
verify the high recognition accuracy of the proposed LLAF model under
different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).

the existing schemes, the proposed suboptimal joint scheme needs no
iterative calculation and yields a lower complexity. Moreover, it can
achieve excellent EE quite close to that of the existing algorithms.
Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the
proposed joint scheme.

Jembatan merupakan bangunan yang menghubungkan dua bagian jalan yang terputus oleh rintangan seperti sungai, lembah,  dan sebagainya.  Jembatan tidak hanya digunakan untuk bisa mengakses ke suatu desa dan desa lainnya, namun juga berfungsi untuk melancarkan perekonomian.  Desa Bandar Negeri merupakan salah satu desa di Kecamatan Labuhan Maringgai Kabupaten Lampung Timur. Desa ini memiliki potensi ekonomi yang tinggi, yang berasal dari bidang pertanian dan perikanan.  Akan tetapi, potensi ekonomi yang tinggi tersebut tidak dapat dikembangkan dengan maksimal, salah satunya adalah karena ketersediaan infrastruktur jembatan untuk mendukung pengembangan potensi ekonomi tersebut yang masih belum tersedia.  Melalui program Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Masterplan Percepatan dan Perluasan Pengurangan Kemiskinan di Indonesia (PNPM MP3KI) tahun 2014, Pemerintah menyetujui Pembangunan Jembatan penyeberangan di desa Bandar Negeri melalui Musyawarah Antar Desa II.  Pembangunan Jembatan tersebut berupa Jembatan penyeberangan sungai untuk orang dan kendaraan ringan dengan bentang jembatan sepanjang 54 meter dan direncanakan untuk beban maksimal sampai dengan 500 kg termasuk pembuatan Tambatan Perahu. Hal yang sulit dalam konstruksi jembatan tersebut adalah pada saat pemasangan pile jembatan, dimana pile jembatan harus dikonstruksi di sungai dengan air yang dalam.  Permasalahan dalam konstruksi pemasangan pile jembatan di dalam air sungai tersebut adalah ketersediaan dana yang tidak mencukupi apabila harus dikonstruksi menggunakan peralatan yang canggih.  Akan tetapi, warga masyarakat desa Bandar Negeri, mempunyai pengalaman melakukan pembangunan jembatan dengan teknologi sederhana untuk pemasangan pile jembatan di dalam air sungai. Pemasangan pile jembatan dengan Teknologi sederhana tersebut dilaksanakan menggunakan sistem water jet pressure, menggunakan mesin alkon 4”.  Penggunaan teknologi sederhana pemasangan pile jembatan menggunakan sistem water jet pressure dengan mesin alkon 4” tersebut telah berhasil dilaksanakan oleh warga masyarakat desa Bandar Negeri, dan hingga saat ini jembatan tersebut masih tetap berfungsi dengan baik.

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. While medical management and mechanical circulatory support have undergone significant advancement in recent years, orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) remains the most definitive therapy for refractory HF. OHT has seen steady improvement in patient survival and quality of life (QoL) since its inception, with one-year mortality now under 8%. However, a significant number of HF patients are unable to receive OHT due to scarcity of donor hearts. The United Network for Organ Sharing has recently revised its organ allocation criteria in an effort to provide more equitable access to OHT. Despite these changes, there are many potential donor hearts that are inevitably rejected. Arbitrary regulations from the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services and fear of repercussions if one-year mortality falls below established values has led to a current state of excessive risk aversion for which organs are accepted for OHT. Furthermore, non-standardized utilization of extended criteria donors and donation after circulatory death, exacerbate the organ shortage. Data-driven systems can improve donor-recipient matching, better predict patient QoL post-OHT, and decrease needless organ waste through more uniform application of acceptance criteria. Thus, we propose a data-driven future for OHT and a move to patient-centric and holistic transplantation care processes.

In the discussion of this research, the motivation to design a certification information system at the Regional Office (Kanwil) of the West Java Ministry of Religion seeks to resolve, and reduce the problem of the certification system which is not yet effective and far from efficient. The activities of implementing certification for offline (face-to-face) Hajj ritual supervisors, and processing certification data traditionally affect the results of recording certification and implementing the assessment process. Thus, the proposed system is generated through a website-based platform and is run online. The research method uses the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with the Waterfall model approach which consists of 5 stages, namely, a) Analysis b) Design c) Implementation d) Maintenance e) Planning. The programming language used is (PHP), and the database application uses a data processor (Mysql) as the database (RDBMS). In addition, to support this system design tool, it uses the UML (Unifed Modeling Language) method by using two diagrams according to design needs, namely Use Case Diagrams and Activity Diagrams. This research produces a Web-Based Certification Information System design that can simplify the certification implementation process, as well as simplify the presentation of certification data and its processing. The system of certification of Manasik Hajj supervisor have been test with a method. Black box testing is the most method to ensure the application is suitable scenario test. This Web-Based Hajj Manasik Supervisor Certification Information System at the West Java Ministry of Religion Regional Office makes it easier to improve the implementation of certification. The design of this system can reduce in addition to overcoming the obstacles of implementing certification to be more accurate.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disease characterized by muscle stiffness, tremor, slowness of movement, and difficulties with posture and walking. Muscle and joint pain are frequent non-motor symptoms of PD. Pain associated with PD is mainly caused by a combination of truncal dystonia, stooped posture, and muscle rigidity. However, PD deformities were rarely discussed in the literature. A 68-year-old Asian female with PD treated with Levodopa for six years complained of progressive neck pain, contractures, and subluxation of both hands in the last two years. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan revealed decreased rostrocaudal gradient uptake in both posterior putamen. After 9 months of multimodal chiropractic rehabilitation, the patient had significant improvement in symptoms, including pain resolution as per the numeric rating scale and physical and mental improvement as per the PD questionnaire. Radiographic measurement showed significantly improved postural alignment and stability. Measurement of joint motion and angles showed an improvement in hand deformity. Although PD is a neurodegenerative disease that is not curable, multimodal rehabilitation may improve neurological and musculoskeletal functions by inducing proprioceptive balance, motor strength, and joint movement. The current study may illustrate multimodal rehabilitation addressing orthopedic deformity associated with symptoms in a PD patient.

يبين هذا البحث، عناية القرآن الكريم ببناء العقيدة، فلا تكاد تخلو آية و سورة (مكية كانت ام مدنية) من شد الانسان بكليته الى ربه، وربط كل تصرف بهذه العقيدة التي تمثل القاعدة الاساسية لهذا الدين الذي لا يقوم بدونها، لأنها هي التي تعرف الناس بإلههم الحق تبارك وتعالى، وبحقيقة وجودهم على هذه الارض.
        لذلك أحببت أن أبين كيف جاء القرآن الكريم بآيات بينات توضح بجلاء إيمان العرب بالله سبحانه وتعالى، ولكنه إيمان مشوب بالشرك، ولأجل ذلك بعث الله نبيه الكريم محمد (صلى الله عليه وسلم) الى الانسانية كافة بشيراً، ونذيراً، وداعياً الى توحيد الله، وعبادته لا شريك له، فحارب الشرك حتى يوم الفتح الأعظم، وهو فتح مكة المكرمة في السنة الثامنة للهجرة (629م) فدخلها فاتحاً لم ينسَ الغرض الرئيسي الذي طالما جاهد من اجله، وهو عبادة الله وحده لا شريك له.
