Authors: Hartono Stephanie Putri
Published: June 2024

Advances in aviation transportation have increased threats to security, prompting the European Union (EU) to take decisive actions. This research examines the evolution of the EU’s aviation security laws and their implications for Indonesia. Using a normative legal research approach, the study finds that EU aviation security measures have been significantly influenced by external and internal factors. Key developments include the integration of aviation security post-9/11 with Regulation (EC) No. 2320/2002, its replacement by Regulation (EC) No. 300/2008, the near-ban on liquids after the 2006 Trans-Atlantis liquid bomb plot, the installation of security scanners following the 2009 underwear bomb plot, and the ACC3 system post-2010 Yemen incident that revoked Regulation (UE) No. 185/2010. Cyber threats are also a growing concern. This research is important as these EU measures impact Indonesia’s national aviation security standards.

Published: June 2024

Attention to biometric data security has become urgent for protecting user privacy. In the context of the Protection of Data Privacy (PDP) Law, biometric data are classified as specific data, requiring extra protection due to their unique, non-exchangeable characteristics. This study uses a normative approach, analyzing legislation and legal comparisons through regional and international regulations, to examine two issues: the position of biometric data as specific data under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law and PDP Law, and the technical solutions through privacy by design to protect biometric data. The research findings are: (1) Biometric data are correlated with privacy and personal rights, classifying them as specific data. Their use for public and private interests raises the potential for privacy violations. (2) Technical solutions through privacy by design can begin with implementing consent at the registration stage by personal data controllers, ensuring the processing of biometric data achieves specific purposes.

New Developmentalism Under Neoliberalism: The Case of Brazil
Authors: Demirörs Sıla
Published: June 2024

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of Brazil's socioeconomic policies and growth models under the Brazilian Workers Party from 2003 to 2016. It examines two key growth models implemented in this process: namely, primary-export led and domestic consumption-oriented growth models. By utilizing official statistics and secondary sources, it shows that primary exports were the driving force behind economic growth in Brazil until 2006. It also indicates that after 2006, despite not being the main facilitator of economic growth, the exporting sectors continued to support the current account balance in Brazil, thanks to increasing global demand and prices for Brazilian primary commodities. Nevertheless, the post-2006 period in Brazil witnessed an increasing weight of domestic consumption in growth dynamics. This mainly results from expanding social transfers and income distribution programs, growing employment, and increasing minimum wages. The study demonstrates that Brazil's inclusive growth model was not sustainable due to the strong dependence of domestic accumulation on foreign capital inflows and external demand.
A study on clinicodemographical profile of patients availing the teledermatology service at a tertiary care center in Northeast India
Authors: Marak Anita , Verma Shikha , Sakshi Kumari
Published: June 2024

Objectives:

Delivery of patient care services has drastically evolved where teledermatology specifically has brought about a paradigm shift in our day-to-day practice and has been increasingly utilized since the pandemic era. Keeping this in mind, we conducted a study to evaluate the clinical and demographical profile of patients availing teledermatology service in a tertiary care center in North East India.

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective study where the database of patients utilizing the teledermatology facility was analyzed for a period of one year (January 2022–March 2023).

Results:

A total of 74 patients were included in the study, and the data was analyzed based on the store and forward approach. There was a female preponderance with a male: female ratio of 1:2.5. Most of the patients (88%) hailed from an urban background. The highest frequency of users for this service were those aged between 20 and 30 years (35%). The median age was 24 years. The pediatric population comprised 4% of the cases. The diagnosis was possible for 61 (82.4%) cases. The four most common conditions encountered were acne (31.8%), eczematous disorders (18%), melasma (14.8%), and superficial fungal infections (13.3 %). Chronic cases (74%) exceeded the acute cases (26%) in numbers. In the remaining cases where diagnosis was not possible (18%), they were asked to come for a face-to-face consultation; however, none of these patients turned up. In contrast, only 4% of the patients where a diagnosis was possible opted for a re-consultation through teledermatology and none chose to visit the clinic.

Conclusion:

Through this study, we identified patterns in the utilization of teledermatology concerning commonly encountered dermatoses, as well as the age and demographics of patients engaging in teledermatology. This information can be instrumental in the future to pinpoint areas where teledermatology could be more effectively employed.
Mitochondrial protein isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase 2 in tumor cells as a potential therapeutic target for cervical cancer
Authors: Meng Xiaojiao , Gao Bo , Li Ning
Published: June 2024

Objective:

Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase 2 (IARS2) is crucial for mitochondrial activity and function in cancer cells. Cervical cancer is a highly prevalent malignancy affecting the female reproductive system on a global scale. This research investigates the expression and potential roles of IARS2 in cervical cancer cells.

Material and Methods:

Initially, we examined the IARS2 expression profile in cervical cancer cells using Western blot technique and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction methodologies. Subsequently, cervical cancer cell models with IARS2 silencing and overexpression were constructed using Short Hairpin RNA (ShRNA) (IARS2) and pcMV-FLAG-IARS2, respectively. The impact of IARS2 silencing or overexpression on Hela cell mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial complex I, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, reactive oxygen species activity, viability, proliferation, migration, apoptosis-related proteins, and apoptosis levels was examined through fluorescence staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cell counting kit-8 assay, Transwell experiments, Western blot technique, and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay techniques.

Results:

The expression of IARS2 is upregulated in cervical cancer cells. Silencing IARS2 with ShRNA (IARS2) disrupts mitochondrial function in cervical cancer cells, resulting in mitochondrial depolarization, heightened oxidative stress, suppression of mitochondrial complex I, and a decrease in ATP levels. Moreover, the depletion of IARS2 significantly impedes the viability, proliferation, and migration of cervical cancer cells, inducing apoptotic processes. In contrast, the overexpression of IARS2 augments the proliferation, migration, and ATP levels in cervical cancer cells.

Conclusion:

IARS2 plays a pivotal role as a mitochondrial protein in fostering the growth of cervical cancer cells, presenting itself as an innovative target for tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Authors: Udayashankar Anaghashree , Mukherjee Topoti , George Kristin , KrishneGowda Kiran
Published: June 2024

Sodium-glucose-cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and statins are increasingly used for reduction of cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetics. Few case studies reported an enhanced risk of rhabdomyolysis with this combination. A 57-year-old man with normal renal functions, developed fatigue and oliguria within three days of dapagliflozin addition to his preexistent rosuvastatin therapy. Investigations revealed severe acute kidney injury (AKI) with elevated serum creatine-phosphokinase (CPK) and myoglobinuria. Renal biopsy depicted severe acute tubular necrosis with interstitial nephritis and ropy myoglobin casts, which confirmed the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. Rosuvastatin and dapagliflozin were discontinued. Hemodialysis and oral steroids were prescribed. The AKI recovered within few weeks. Rosuvastatin was rechallenged after two months and his renal functions and CPK levels remained normal. This case demonstrates the incidence of severe rhabdomyolysis when an SGLT2i was added to an existing statin, emphasizing the importance of identifying drug-drug interactions and potential for myotoxicity.

Published: June 2024

Background:

The job profile of security officers in tropical countries involves prolonged standing in hot conditions causing heat stress as well as complications of sedentary lifestyle. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and heat stress in security officers and analyze factors affecting heat stress and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

Materials and Methods:

This was an observational cross-sectional study conducted among security personnel working at a tertiary care hospital in South India during the hottest months of March to May 2020. Screening camps were conducted during which anthropometric measurements were taken and blood was collected for hemoglobin, creatinine, and fasting glucose estimation. Urine dipstick analysis for glucose, protein, pH, and red and white blood cells were done on early morning voided sample. Heat stress was assessed by a validated 18-item questionnaire called heat strain score index (HSSI). A structured questionnaire was prepared for surveillance of risk factors of noncommunicable diseases.

Results:

A total of 678 security officers were screened. Majority (659/678, 97.2%) were men and mean age of the cohort was 45.4 ± 9.2 years. Fifty-two percent (355/678) of participants were engaged in outdoor work for a median duration of 6 (IQR, 0-8) hours/day. Prevalence of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) were 70.9, 25.5, 15.9 and 1.3 percentage, respectively. Half of the cohort (324/678) had definite heat stress and 0.9% (6/678) developed CKD of undetermined etiology. Heat stress was higher in those working outdoors and longer employment duration and lower in those with abdominal obesity. eGFR was lower in older officers, smokers, hypertensives, and those with longer employment duration, but was unaffected by HSSI scores.

Conclusion:

Kidney function was unaffected by high levels of heat stress experienced by security personnel working at a tertiary hospital in South India. Future studies are needed to understand the pathomechanisms of differential impacts of heat stress on kidney function of agricultural various worker categories.

Published: June 2024

Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), although a rare type of acquired hemolytic anemia, can be life-threatening if not diagnosed early. Kidney involvement in PNH varies from reversible acute kidney injury to irreversible chronic damage. Here, we report a case of recurrent acute kidney injury in a young male requiring renal replacement support. Repeated history of AKI with coombs negative hemolytic anemia led us to perform PNH profile after ruling out other causes. Although kidney involvement in PNH is not apparent, this case shows the importance of having a high index of suspicion which will help in preventing further episodes of AKI and thus, chronic kidney disease burden.

Published: June 2024

The emergence of COVID-19 triggered a global health crisis, sparking concerns within the medical community about its interaction with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the heightened vulnerability of individuals with compromised renal function to severe viral infection and mortality. This retrospective study encompassed all adult patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and pre-existing CKD admitted between May 2020 and May 2023. Their demographic data, relevant clinical parameters, and laboratory values were collected. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and Log Rank test were employed to compare survival times between CKD patients and those developing acute kidney injury (AKI), while Cox regression analyses were conducted to pinpoint factors influencing the hazard of a fatal outcome. The study, involving 150 COVID-19 patient records with pre-existing CKD, revealed that male gender, advanced age, requirement for invasive ventilation, and elevated levels of inflammatory markers such as total leukocyte count, lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, and IL-6 significantly increased the risk of death. These findings underscore the necessity for tailored care and meticulous management in COVID-19 patients with coexisting CKD, emphasizing the importance of addressing factors such as gender, age, and inflammatory status to mitigate mortality risks effectively.

Published: June 2024

İklim değişikliğinin olumsuz etkilerinin daha da arttığı günümüzde bir kış kenti olan Erzurum için farklı yeşil alan oranlarının mikro-iklime ve dış mekân termal konforuna etkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışma alanı olarak Erzurum kentinin yeni yerleşim yerlerinden Yıldızkent semti belirlenmiştir. Alanda mikro-iklim verileri Davis Vantage Pro-2 iklim cihazı ile bir yıl süre ile saatlik olarak ölçülmüştür. Yıldızkent imar planı içindeki bu alanda 5 farklı oranda yeşil alan miktarını artırma senaryoları oluşturulmuştur. Bunlar; %10, %20, %30, %40 ve %50 yeşil alan oranını içermektedir. Mevcut durum ile toplamda 6 farklı senaryonun simülasyonu 2021 yılının en sıcak (yaz ayı) ve en soğuk (kış ayı) zaman dilimi için ENVI-met BIO+Science programı ile dış mekân termal konforu modellenmiştir. Yeşil alan senaryolarından hava sıcaklığı, bağıl nem ve rüzgâr hızı verileri tüm senaryolarda mevcut duruma göre farklılık göstermezken, ortalama radyan sıcaklık (Tmrt)’da %10 yeşil alan oranı senaryosu ve fizyolojik eşdeğer sıcaklık (FES)’da ise %30 yeşil alan oranı senaryosu hem kış hem de yaz aylarında olumlu sonuçlar vermiştir. %10 yeşil alan oranında Tmrt kış ayı için mevcut duruma göre 0.2 ℃ artmış, yaz ayı için de ortalama 0.2 ℃ düşmüştür. FES analizlerinde ise, kış ayı tüm senaryoları benzer sonuçlar verirken, yaz ayında %30 yeşil alan oranında FES mevcut duruma göre 0.3 ℃ azalmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda yeşil alan oranının artırılmasının mikro-iklim üzerinde pozitif katkı sağladığı ve dış mekân termal konforunda farklılıklar getirdiği belirlenmiştir. Ancak bu tip çalışmalarda sağlıklı sonuç elde edebilmek için mikro-iklim özelliği farklı olan her bir alan için ayrı ayrı simülasyon analizlerinin yapılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları mahalle ölçeğinde yapılacak çalışmalara yön gösterecek olup, peyzaj tasarımlarında %30 oranında yeşil alan yapılması iklim açısından olumlu sonuçlar vermektedir.

Authors: Keskin Bilal , Duman Abdurrahman
Published: June 2024

Changing climatic conditions, agricultural lands becoming barren, losing their qualities and decreasing feed resources have led to the search for alternative feed resources. Quinoa (Chenepodium quinoa Willd.) is increasing in importance as an alternative feed source because it is a plant resistant to arid, salty and cold conditions. Quinoa plant can be considered as an alternative plant for silage, which is an important feed source for animals. In this study, the effects of sowing Cherry Vanilla and Read Head quinoa varieties at 4 different row spacings (17.5, 35.0, 52.5, 70.0 cm) on silage quality were investigated. In the research, pH, dry matter ratio, fleig score, ammonia production, sensory analyses, lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid contents of quinoa silage were determined. While the effect of row spacing on dry matter ratio, ammonia production, sensory analysis, lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid ratios was found to be significant, its effect on pH value was insignificant. The quinoa varieties used in the research had a significant effect on the dry matter ratio and propionic acid content. In the light of the results obtained from the research, it was concluded that in order to obtain a quality quinoa silage, the plants should be sown in 52.5 cm row spacing and the Cherry Vanilla variety should be preferred.

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of selenium (Se) deficiency in Angus Aberdeen (AA) cows and calves during the grazing season on several farms in different geographical locations of the Czech Republic. Selenium deficiency was diagnosed by measuring Se concentrations in whole blood. A total of 78 cows and 78 calves aged 3 to 6 months were examined in eight herds. The reference range of blood Se in cows and calves is 80 to 120 ug/l. Lower values are indicative of deficiency. Overall, Se deficiency was observed in 39.75% cows and 80.76% calves. Suboptimal Se status was mainly a consequence of low Se concentration in pasture vegetation. The Se concentration in plants ranged from 0.032 to 0.086 mg/kg on dry matter basis. Selenium deficiency adversely affected fertility and natality in cattle. In the herd with the highest prevalence of Se deficiency (Herd 2), the number of calves reared till 6 months of age per 100 cows (natality) was as low as 80. The findings show that the grazing cattle suffered from major Se deficiency. The results of the study highlight the importance of implementing early diagnosis, effective prevention, and use of appropriate mineral supplements.

Published: June 2024

Peripheral nerve damage is a critical disorder causing disability of locomotion. The aim of the study was to clarify the effects of testosterone and tacrolimus on the gastrocnemius muscle following sciatic injury. The study was done on 20 rats (n = 5 in each group) whose left sciatic nerve was crushed for 10 s. The sham group (S) of animals received no medicine; the testosterone group (Tes) received testosterone (5 mg/kg, s.c.); the tacrolimus group (Tac): received tacrolimus (5 mg/kg, p.o.); the testosterone and tacrolimus group (Tes+Tac) received testosterone (5 mg/kg, s.c.) and tacrolimus (5 mg/kg, p.o.) daily for four weeks. The gastrocnemius was assessed by gross observation of the plantar surface of paws; the pelvic limb mass muscle and the muscle diameter ratio of the left pelvic limb to the right one by ultrasonography. The gastrocnemius muscle index (GMI) of the left and right pelvic limb, muscle colour, and pathologic changes were also studied. Pathology study of the gastrocnemius included fatty infiltration, muscle atrophy, presence of inflammatory cells and fibrosis formation. Heel redness and swelling were seen in group Tac. No significant difference was found in the GMI between the Tes and S groups (P > 0.01); its value was higher than in the Tes+Tac and Tac groups (P < 0.01). One rat in group Tes had fatty infiltration grade II. Inflammatory cells were grade I in group Tes but fibrosis formation was grade I in group Tes+Tac. Our results show that tacrolimus and testosterone administration may shorten sciatic nerve regeneration time. Testosterone may diminish gastrocnemius muscle atrophy after sciatic nerve crush.
Fundamentos Anticoloniais da Didática Histórico-Crítica Para o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira nas Aulas de Química: Abrindo Caminhos
Authors: Magalhães Pedro , Messeder Neto Hélio da Silva
Published: June 2024

O grande número de trabalhos que apresentam propostas didáticas aliada à queixa atemporal de docentes sobre a falta de preparo teórico para lidar com história e cultura afro-brasileira dentro das aulas de química constituem as principais motivações para essa pesquisa teórica. De base marxista, este trabalho objetivou produzir um princípio pedagógico anticolonial para orientar, no nível da didática, o processo de seleção de conteúdos, formas e procedimentos para o ensino de história e cultura africana e afro-brasileira nas aulas de química. O percurso deste trabalho parte de uma análise teórica das contribuições da academia e do movimento negro para este tema a partir das categorias de forma, conteúdo e destinatário, até chegar ao princípio pedagógico anticolonial. Nele, fizemos a defesa de que a história e cultura africana e afro-brasileira é o objeto de um ensino anticolonial de química, desde que seja na sua forma clássica: considerando a base material e os interesses coletivos do proletariado negro. Além disso, o princípio oferece indicações metodológicas sobre como ensinar essa forma clássica da história e cultura africana e afro-brasileira nas aulas de química, numa tentativa de superar o lugar comum das propostas didáticas tão frequentes nesta área. Assim, em que pese o fato de questões empíricas carecerem de investigação, este princípio começa a encaminhar orientações a respeito da seleção de conteúdos, formas, indicativos de planejamentos e outros aspectos procedimentais do ensino de história e cultura africana e afro-brasileira nas aulas de química.

Authors: Bakari Sayef , El Weriemmi Malek
Published: June 2024

The aim of this investigation is to examine the nexus between domestic investment and economic growth in Arab countries. To attempt our goal, we used annual data for the period 1990 – 2020 and Vector Error Correction Model. Empirical analysis indicates that there is no relationship between domestic investment and economic growth in the long run. However, we find a bidirectional causality between domestic investment and economic growth in the short run. These results provide evidence that domestic investment is necessary in Arab countries’ economy and is presented as an engine of growth since they cause economic growth in the short term. But they are not carried out and treated with a solid and fair manner, which offer new insights into Arabe countries’ investment policy for promoting economic growth.

Improving public services and efficiency in archiving are important aspects of optimizing governance at the subdistrict level. In an increasingly advanced era of information technology, the digitization of subdistricts offers a promising solution to enhance the quality of public services and the effectiveness of archiving. This paper aims to describe the implementation of subdistrict digitization in enhancing technology-based public services and archiving in the Balikpapan District. This research utilizes a descriptive method by collecting data through literature review, observation, and interviews with relevant parties in the Balikpapan subdistrict. The research findings indicate that subdistrict digitization has successfully provided significant positive impacts in improving public services and archiving efficiency in the Balikpapan District. In terms of public services, subdistrict digitization enables easier and faster access for the community to obtain information and services from the subdistrict government. The utilization of technology-based applications such as public service portals and mobile applications allows the public to submit administrative requests, access essential information, and provide feedback online. This accelerates the service process and reduces excessive bureaucracy. Furthermore, subdistrict digitization also contributes to archiving effectiveness. By adopting a technology-based archiving system, important documents can be stored electronically and well-organized. The use of database technology enables more efficient document search and management, reducing the risk of document loss or damage, and improving the speed of information access. Although there are several challenges in implementing subdistrict digitization, such as limited resources and resistance to change, the efforts made by the Balikpapan subdistrict have proven the positive benefits of adopting this technology. Subdistrict digitization has made a significant contribution to enhancing public services and archiving in the Balikpapan District and can serve as an example for other subdistricts in optimizing technology-based governance.

To improve the quality of the learning program, an efficient and effective approach in the teaching and learning process is required. Currently, educational strategies have become an essential process to enhance students' intelligence during this pandemic. In the field of education, the development of technology and communication requires training and learning using various methods. This approach involves training and teaching activities that are not limited by time and place, as they can be accessed and processed anytime and anywhere. This process aligns with the policy of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia in overcoming the challenges of learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the field of education, the common problem faced is the lack of effectiveness in learning. The methods of delivering materials used are not fully effective in utilizing learning resources.
