Published: June 2022

Background: Wound management is a crucial aspect of patient care and the nurse often is faced with the question of which approaches to use to provide an environment that supports healing and prevents complications. Important questions include how different types of wounds should be dressed, what method of debridement to use, whether dressings should be changed using sterile versus unsterile technique, and which adjunctive therapies to select under given circumstances, thus the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an intervention program on nurse's practices regarding dressing burn wound. Methodology: A quantitative (one pre experimental) design had been adapted through the present study with the application of pre- post-test approach during the period of 17th October, 2020 to 20th March, 2022. A non-probability (convenient) sample of 24 nurses who work at burns and plastic surgery center at Azady teaching hospital. The interventional program and study instrument is designed based on of the nurse's practice assessment need, review of literature, scientific lecturer and previous study. The content of the program and instrument are evaluated by 16 experts in different field and the reliability of instrument is determined through the use of test and retest, measurement of effectiveness for nursing education program carried out through (24) items concerning clinical guidelines regarding burn management. The analysis of data is performed through the application of descriptive statistic as well as inferential statistic by using statistical package of social science version 22. Result: shows that vast majority of the sample were male, 30-39 years old, high school graduate, less than 5 years of experience. Most of the samples participate in burn courses, one course in number, their courses inside Iraq. Comparisons significant at P<0.01 was high regarding initial survey’s, secondary survey's, total body surface, initial assessment of the depth of the burn wounds, burn wounds, removing dead tissue and cleaning the burn's. Conclusion: study conclude that Nurses' Practice improvements due to applying of the proposed interventional program with relative to demographical characteristics. The study recommends that nurses practice toward burn management should be updated periodically as well as encourage nurses to participate in sessions, conferences and seminar related to care of burn Keywords: Burns; Hydrogels; Peptides; Wound dressings, Skin

Published: June 2022

Background: Abortion is considered illegal in many countries, same is true in Pakistan. In spite of all considerations no law currently support abortion, it is moral value of the doctor to justify this act. The ratio of cases resulting in abortion with the consent of mother are usually not reported at the government hospital that is why the actual figure remain unclear. Majority of cases of illegal abortion are observed among females out of wedlock, who do not want to disclose it to their family and friends, so they seek a secret way to get rid of this burden. The ways adopted for abortion are not legal and quite unhygienic which places the female at risk of sepsis or even death. Materials and Methods: A total of 15 cases of septic abortion were reported to Lady Aitcheson Hospital, Lahore during a period of 4 years from 2015 to 2019. All these cases of septic abortion were cases of criminal abortion. Results: Out of 750 cases of abortion only those illegal abortions which got septic were considered in this study. Depending on the symptoms they were divided into three groups. Majority of the cases were between 20-25 years of age and belonged to low socioeconomic group. Out of 15 cases 06 died due to advanced sepsis, 03 recovered with multiple antibiotic for more than two weeks, 02 patients had blood transfusion and recovered, 08 had laparotomy and 02 had laparotomy with hysterectomy. Conclusion: The present study concludes that criminal abortion although illegal and is prevailing globally cannot by prevented. However, legal reforms need to be made so that whenever such cases are encountered proper medical cover and early referral to a hospital can prevent mortality among such females.

Authors: Hussein Hussein Hadi , Faraj Raad Karim
Published: June 2022

Background: A patient's deteriorating medical state, the inability of families to finance therapy, medication, blood transfusions, or the hospitalization of patients may also be a genuine reason for this burden. There are several ways chronic renal failure affects the patient's physical, psychological, functional, lifestyle, and independence status because of the disease's long-term persistence and lengthy treatment procedure. Objective : Assess the overall Psychosocial Burden among caregivers for patients with renal failure, and find out the relationship between the overall psychosocial burden of caregiver and their demographic characteristics Methods: A descriptive correlation study design had been applied with the use of a non-probability convenience sample of (210) caregiver to identify the relationship between Psychosocial Burdens among Caregivers of Patients with Renal Failure and their demographic attributes in Al- Diwaniyah Government. The study instruments consist of the demographic information and Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) scale that used to measure the degree of caregivers burdens during the caring of the patients with renal failure. The data were analyzed using (SPSS) version 20 application of statistical analysis system. The information was evenly distributed. Frequencies, Percentages, Mean and Standard Deviation, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients, T-test (Independent t-test, and) To assess the significance difference between overall Caregivers burden. Results: The results of the study included that (74.8%) of the caregivers of patients with renal failure suffered from moderate to severe burden levels towards caring for their patients. The findings indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between the psychosocial burden of the caregivers and their sociodemographic characteristics. The findings indicate that caregiver' work, accommodation type, monthly income, and residency have an effect on their psychosocial burden level on the caregivers. Conclusions: Renal failure has negative effect on the caregiver for patient with renal failure. Psychosocial burdens for caregivers are influenced by caregivers’ demographic characteristics of the work of the caregiver, accommodation type, monthly income, and residency.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Allergic conjunctivitis is in fact a bunch of diseases affecting the visual surface and is usually related with type1 hypersensitivity reactions. Two acute disorders, seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and perennial allergic conjunctivitis, exist, as do 3 chronic illnesses, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and giant papillary conjunctivitis. Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis is related with seasonal hypersensitivities that ordinarily happen amid the spring and summer months, and in some cases amid the fall. Exposure to dust, grass and other airborne allergens causes seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Low levels of vitamin D somewhat related to allergic disorders. This study show a relationship between Serum vitamin D and Immunoglobulin’s E in patients of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis Objective: To evaluate serum vitamin D and serum total immunoglobulin E levels in patients with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC). Material and Methods Study design: quantitative cross sectional Duration: Six months i.e. 1st September 2021 to 28th February 2022 Data Collection procedure: A cross sectional study was conducted on 100 patients. The study was conducted in Holy Family Hospital Rawalpindi. Ethical approval was taken from ethical committee. An educated consent was taken from the participants. 60 patients in this study presented with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and 40 healthy normal persons were included. Serum vitamin D and serum total IgE levels were calculated. Results: The average age of the participant in this study was in between 30-50 years of age. In SAC group 40 were males and 20 females. Group two healthy normal consist of 25 males and 15 females. There is a significant decrease of vitamin D level in patients who were diagnosed seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and IgE levels were high when compared to normal healthy group Conclusion: In conclusion, we demonstrated lower plasma vitamin D levels in patients with SAC compared with the control bunch. To conclude a certain association between vitamin D status and allergic conjunctivitis, both multicenter larger case arrangement and further studies examining the impacts of vitamin D supplementation ought to be performed in the long run.

Comparing “West” and “Rest”: Beyond Eurocentrism?
Authors: D’haen Theo
Published: June 2022

From different perspectives, Shu-mei Shih, Rey Chow, and Revathi Krishnaswamy have accused Comparative Literature of being inherently Eurocentric in that the comparative study of non-European/Western literatures continues being steered by European/Western paradigms. In what follows I briefly outline their respective positions, and argue that over the past few decades at least some attempts have been made to move beyond Eurocentrism.

Published: June 2022

: A Geografia da Saúde (GS) é uma nova especialização, dotada de perspectiva histórica anterior à sua consolidação, que relaciona o ambiente geográfico e a saúde humana. O território, por sua vez, manifesta-se como importante categoria na compreensão de seus pressupostos. Este artigo, ademais, objetiva analisar as formas de emprego do conceito de território nas produções científicas sob domínio da GS. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa descritiva, sob o crivo de uma abordagem qualitativa, cuja coleta de dados se deu por uma revisão bibliográfica, fonte de dados foi a revista Hygeia (Revista Brasileira de Geografia Médica e da Saúde) e procedimentos técnicos baseados inicialmente na delimitação de linhas conceituais e após na verificação da presença dessas linhas nos artigos. Analisamos os artigos publicados pelo respectivo periódico no biênio 2019-2020. Percebemos que a utilização do termo território é frequente, todavia não é assíduo entre os pesquisadores propor uma definição ou delimitação do termo, sendo reiteradamente aplicado de forma genérica, sem distinção desse para com outras categorias geográficas, como espaço. Apesar disso, percebemos que as ideias implicitamente mais recorrentes são as definições etimológicas e as preconizadas por Ratzel, além de Milton Santos ser o autor mais investido nos artigos cuja definição é explícita.

Authors: Oliveira Cruz Dayana Aparecida Marques de
Published: June 2022

A pandemia trouxe inúmeros desafios para o Mercado Comum do Sul (Mercosul). Tais desafios culminaram em uma crise sanitária, política e econômica para qual o bloco não tem conseguido apresentar respostas efetivas quanto à coordenação de políticas no âmbito regional. A análise sobre as discussões contemporâneas acerca da pandemia no bloco não pode ser feita se desconsiderarmos que o Mercosul vem passando por um contexto de crise na integração regional desde 2016, com a mudança no cenário político dos Estados Partes. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o debate acerca da saúde no Mercosul em tempos de pandemia. A metodologia utilizada incluiu a revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, bem como a análise de notícias acerca das medidas para conter a expansão da pandemia e seus desdobramentos, publicadas em 2020 no site oficial do bloco.

Authors: Dias Gutemberg Henrique , Peixoto Filipe da Silva
Published: June 2022

A hanseníase e a tuberculose são doenças crônicas consideradas negligenciadas no Brasil. No município de Mossoró esses dois agravos apresentam alto coeficiente de incidência e, dessa forma, o município é considerado prioritário para a Secretaria de Saúde Pública do Estado (SESAP-RN) no desenvolvimento de ações em saúde que influenciem na quebra da cadeia de transmissão. A associação dessas enfermidades já vem sendo estudada em relação aos determinantes socioeconômicos e os dados mostram fortes vinculações entre elas. No entanto, no que diz respeito à correlação espacial, na literatura especializada, praticamente inexistem estudos e, geralmente, essas endemias são analisadas de maneira independente. A partir da análise da distribuição espacial dos casos de hanseníase e tuberculose diagnosticados entre os anos de 2014 e 2018 no município de Mossoró-RN, a presente pesquisa objetivou responder à hipótese que no âmbito da área urbana do munícipio existe uma conexão espacial entre as duas enfermidades. Os resultados demonstraram que a assinatura espacial da distribuição dos dois agravos segue o mesmo padrão e que eles ocupam áreas semelhantes no tecido urbano da cidade.

Authors: Prasetyo Yuri Hermawan , Antariksa Ms. , Fauzy Bachtiar
Published: June 2022

Natural and cultural aspects significantly affect architectural form development. High-rise building contributes to produce a high expression in the public space vision since it is gigantic. As an architectural aspect, a high-rise building has 2 main aspects, including Cultural Expression (Culex) and Climatic Expression (Climex) on its envelopes. This study aimed to design an interpretation method for Culex and Climex performance acceptance in high-rise building envelopes in Phinisi Tower, Makassar, Indonesia. Three theories, including gestalt perception, triadic semiotics, and tropical design or Critical Tropicalism were applied. Moreover, categorization, interpretation, and TRNSYS software simulation were used to process and analyze data from respondents and observations. This study led to the formation of an expression interpretation called Identification, Contextualization, and Implementation, abbreviated as âICI.â Culex was categorized into 2, including historical and traditional contexts. Climex also were categorized into 2, including historical and traditional contexts, and envelope configuration and geometry inter floors changes. There were 5 steps for interpreting the high-rise building envelope expression, including 1) Observational perspectives determination, 2) Organizing Gestalt principal basic expressions, 3) Culex and Climex contextualization, 4) Classification of the expression-creating element categories, and 5) Performance acceptance, inclusive or exclusive categorization. Generally, this method can contribute to designing highrise buildings related to cultural and climatic elements.

The study makes an attempt to assess the poverty eradication of Jhumias through the rubber plantation in Tripura. The result indicates that poverty among the jhumias are reduced after rehabilitation through the rubber plantation. The human poverty index and multidimensional poverty index shows that during jhum cultivation respectively, 98.68 per cent and 100 per cent jhumias were fallen under the poverty line. It means poverty were very high during the shifting cultivation., Human poverty index and multidimensional poverty index shows that after rehabilitation of jhumias through the rubber cultivation respectively, 1.68 per cent and 0.6 per cent are under the poverty line.It means poverty among the jhumias are effectively reduced after rubber plantation. Thus the paper suggests that rubber plantation will be a useful strategy for rehabilitation of jhumias and poverty eradication.
Native Plants Usage in Indian Ornamental Landscaping Scenario: A Review
Authors: Chowdhury Rupkatha Roy , Narula Shagufi
Published: June 2022

Native plant species have been the part of the local ecosystem and their contribution to fostering the wildlife and other living species is innumerable. However, the manicured landscapes in urban areas vastly boasts of the usage of exotic, introduced plant species in order to beautify them and as a consequence, there has been gradual depletion of native plant species of ornamental values. The commercial nurseries propagate plants which are in demand in landscaping business and hence, scope of conservation in mass scale is also fading. In such a situation, a review has been done about the practical scenario especially in Indian Context. It is undeniable that attempts are being taken in various parts of the world for revival of the native plant species, but not much awareness is observed in India. The Indian gardens are adorned with introduced plants along with very few native ones and the nurseries are propagating plants randomly without knowledge about their ecological significance and origin. Although, research and studies on identification of potential ornamental plants from wild is being done, it is focused in the Himalayas and Western Ghats of India. And not much work was found either on the revival of the native plants which are already established as ornamentals in the landscaped gardens or the newly identified wild species. Hence, there is scope for introduction of those native and wild plant species holding potential as ornamentals into the Indian landscaping scenario for the gain of both the species conservation as well as biodiversity restoration in the urban landscapes.

Authors: T. Govindaraj , Arthanari P. Murali
Published: June 2022

Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, increasing ambient temperature and associated precipitation are major concerns for future weed management and crop production. Weeds with C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways may exhibit differential responses to higher CO2 levels and temperatures, which can affect the dynamics of cropâweed competition. Since photosynthetic biochemistry depends on climatic factors, the photosynthetic pathway of weeds C3 and C4 had shown varied responses to elevated concentrations of CO2 and elevated temperature, the main source of carbon for plants, directly impacts gas exchange parameters at increased concentration of temperature and CO2. This study evaluated the performance of Trianthema portulacastrum gas exchange parameter viz., photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate had positively interacted with increased temperature, excess moisture and also under drought condition. Hence, under this climatic condition, the Trianthema portulacastrum very well survives with adverse environmental conditions also by reduced transpiration rate and photosynthetic rate.

Published: June 2022

The spatial-temporal distribution of air pollutants over Indiaâs growing cities is still uncertain due to the lack of monitoring data and inadequate knowledge. This study analyzes the temporal and spatial trends of particulate matter in Coimbatore and furthers the influence of urban growth on aerosol concentrations also investigated. The average concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 was 42.23 and 68.05 Âµg m-3 during the study period and slightly higher than the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Aerosol concentrations were found to be highest in an industrial site (81.17 Âµg m-3 for PM10 and 51.89 Âµg m-3 for PM2.5), medium in urbanindustrial (69.09 Âµg m-3 for PM10 and 42.53 Âµg m-3 for PM2.5), commercial (69.99 Âµg m-3 for PM10 and 42.31 Âµg m-3 for PM2.5), residential (68.39 Âµg m-3 for PM10 and 41.21 Âµg m-3 for PM2.5) sites, and low in the mixed site (51.59 Âµg m-3 for PM10 and 33.19 Âµg m-3 for PM2.5). Geographic Information System analysis results indicate that Coimbatore city became more urbanized and more polluted than before. PM2.5/PM10 ratio of 0.60-0.65 in the respective locations revealed the dominance of PM2.5. Vehicular exhaust emissions and road dust resuspension are the primary sources of air quality deterioration in Coimbatore city since there are no other significant pollution sources. Our findings provide baseline information concerning the influence of urbanization and transportation on particulate matter pollution in Coimbatore city.

Published: June 2022

The concern to increase the production along with maintenance of environmental sustainability is increasing day by day. A long-term field experiment (since 1984) comprising of eleven treatments with different combinations of inorganic and organic fertilizers such as farm yard manure (FYM), wheat straw and Sesbania aculeata as green manure (GM) was conducted during the rabi season of 2020-21 at research farm of Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur to assess the impact of variable integrated nutrient management (INM) in rice (Oryza sativa) and inorganic nutrient management in wheat on leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR), net assimilation rate (NAR) and dry biomass of wheat (Triticum aestivum). The results revealed that maximum LAI (0.54, 2.34, 3.05 and 2.43), dry biomass (104.4, 312.5, 663.1, 858.5 and 967.2 g m-2) and CGR (6.94, 11.68 and 6.51 g m-2 day-1)at different intervals were found with application of 50% recommended dose through fertilizers (RDF) in rice and 50% inorganic N (nitrogen) by FYM followed by 100% RDF in wheat. In case of NAR, during 30-60 DAS it was found highest (6.80 g m-2 day-1) with 50% RDF in rice and 100% RDF in wheat but at 60-90 DAS (4.36 g m-2 day-1) and 90-120 DAS (3.06 g m-2 day-1) it was maximum with application of 50% RDF and 50% N through FYM in rice and 100% RDF in wheat. Therefore, application of 50% RDF in rice and substitution of 50% inorganic N by FYM followed by 100% RDF in wheat can improve growth of wheat in long term rice-wheat cropping system with reduced environmental hazard.

Published: June 2022

The coastal ecosystems in India are facing a large array of natural and anthropogenic stresses due to climate change and economic developments. Therefore, proper management of these sensitive regions towards a holistic sustainable development is the need of the hour. Coastal regulation zones (CRZ) are created for regulation of activities in the coastal area for the protection of coastal and sea resources under 1986 Environment Protection Act, of India. This research was carried out along the Eastern Ramanathapuram coast of Tamil Nadu in the Indian Peninsula to delineate the coastal regulation zone using GIS. To understand and categorize the most sensitive coastal region. Our analysis further splits CRZ region into CRZ-I A, CRZI B, CRZ II, III-A, and CRZ III B, CRZ-IV B in compliance with Regulation 2019. Here, aligned with the CRZ compliance, 500m buffer area is taken from HTL (High Tide Level) towards the landward side in the ecosensitive coastline, and 100 m buffer area is taken along creeks and estuaries, as per the guidelines of CRZ Notification, 2019. The output is integrated with land use/land cover map of 2020 and population density to analyseand categorize various coastal zones in the study area.
Intention to Use Collaborative Transportation Among SMEs: An Exploratory Investigation of the Wine Industry
Authors: Galbreath Jeremy , Georgiou Kristina , Oloruntoba Richard
Published: June 2022

Collaboration is a vital strategy for SMEs and research in the field has investigated a variety of pathways for collaborating. However, little of this research has explored collaborative transportation, which is surprising, given that transportation is the largest logistics cost item and one of the top challenges faced by SMEs. To advance the literature on SME collaboration, this study examines SMEs and the intention to use collaborative transportation solutions. We do so by taking a qualitative approach, based on the theory of planned behaviour, one of the most important models for predicting human intention. Relying on a sample of 15 SME wine producers in Western Australia, we find that the marginal benefits of collaborative transportation outweigh disadvantages, but only in the context of economic rather than social benefits. Participants also acknowledged that their intention to use was influenced by various internal and external stakeholders—but only by stakeholders who appear to demonstrate structural and institutional power. Lastly, the participants perceived a degree of locus of control over use, but only when external parties are either willing to provide a solution or are significantly involved in the provision and management. Our findings have both theoretical and practical implications.

Does Physics Forbid Libertarian Freedom?
Authors: Koperski Jeffrey
Published: June 2022

Three well-known physicists have recently argued that libertarian freedom is impossible. In their view, free will is incompatible with what we know about science at the most fundamental level. Here I show that their arguments presuppose a naïve version of reductionism and consider two alternatives, one appealing to mind–body dualism and the other to emergentism. The former says that free will is a capacity of one’s mind, an immaterial entity not subject to the laws of nature. The latter says that free will is an emergent capacity that cannot be reduced to the properties of an agent’s constitutive atoms. These alternatives, however, face the same problem: They seem to violate a fundamental law, namely the conservation of energy. I show how the libertarian can respond to this objection.
ANADOLU’DAKİ YOLCULUĞUNDA BİLGİ’NİN PEYZAJLA ETKİLEŞİMİ
Authors: GÜRAL Sıla Mihriban , ATİK Meryem
Published: June 2022

Bilgi, insan aklı ve eylemleri ile doğrudan ilişkilidir ve her zaman kaynağı olan bir peyzaj içinde gelişmiştir. İnsanın öğrenme çabası ile doğa ve doğal faktörler ile etkileşimi bilginin oluşumunda çok önemli rol oynamıştır. İnsan doğa hakkındaki gerçekleri öğrendikçe, doğayı daha iyi kullanmanın ve şekillendirmenin çözümlerini ortaya koymuştur. Bilgi, insanın peyzaj, peyzajdaki süreçler ve peyzajdaki her bir bileşenden yararlanmayı amaçlayan yaratıcı keşfinin ürünü olmuş ve zaman içinde toplumların kültürlerini şekillendirmiştir. Bilgi tarihi, insanın ve onun düşüncesinin, yarattığı uygarlığın ve kültürün tarihi olduğu için bilginin keşfinin ve gelişiminin insanlık tarihi içinde doğa ve peyzaj ile olan etkileşimi bağlamında ele alınması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, çağlar boyunca bilginin Anadolu’daki yolculuğunda peyzajın yerinin ele almak; bilginin varoluşunun ve tarih boyunca gelişiminin peyzaj ile süregelen karşılıklı etkileşimine farklı bir bakış açısı getirmek ve özellikle Anadolu’nun etkileşim içinde olduğu coğrafyalarda bilginin gelişimini tarihsel bir süreçte değerlendirmektir.

Menafsir Genre Apokaliptik Kitab Daniel
Authors: Hutahaean Hasahatan
Published: June 2022

The Apocalyptic genre is one genre that is difficult to understand because of its long intricacies and requires accuracy. One reason for the difficulty in interpreting the apocalyptic genre is the use of symbols that are not uncommon for today's readers. The use of symbols is very close to the speaker and, the first reader. The Book of Daniel is identical to the many uses of the symbolic language of the two Apocalyptic genre Books in the Bible. Readers increasingly need to be careful and careful when classifying symbol languages because there are differences in the use of symbols and language of descriptions. This paper was prepared by searching the literature with a qualitative approach. With the support of data from journal articles and cognate books, the research achieved the expected goals. The discussion begins by describing the apocalyptic genre based on literal facts. Then examine the uses of symbols, images, and others and the need for the interpreter's humility when trying to interpret this genre, especially in the use of symbolic language. The results show that many parts can be understood by following the rules of interpretation of the apocalyptic genre in the use of symbolic language. But some parts are precisely still a mystery to the reader as sealing of their meaning.AbstrakGenre Apokaliptik termasuk salah satu genre yang sulit untuk dipahami karena seluk-beluk yang panjang dan memerlukan ketelitian. Salah satu penyebab sulitnya menafsir genre apokaliptik yakni pemakaian simbol-simbol yang tidak lazim bagi pembaca masa kini. Pemakaian simbol-simbol sangat dekat bagi penutur dan pembaca pertamanya. Kitab Daniel identik dengan banyaknya pemakaian bahasa simbol dari dua Kitab genre apokaliptik dalam Alkitab. Pembaca semakin perlu berhati-hati dan teliti ketika mengelompokkan bahasa-bahasa simbol karena terdapat perbedaan penggunaan simbol dan bahasa penggambaran. Tulisan ini disusun dengan penelusuran kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Dengan dukungan data dari artikel jurnal dan buku-buku serumpun maka penelitian mencapai tujuan yang diharapkan. Pembahasan dimulai dengan memaparkan genre apokaliptik berdasar fakta-fakta literal. Kemudian menelisik penggunaan simbol, gambar dan yang lain serta perlunya kerendahan hati penafsir ketika mencoba menafsirkan genre ini khususnya dalam penggunaan bahasa simbol. Hasilnya menunjukkan banyak bagian yang dapat dipahami dengan mengikuti kaidah penafsiran bagi genre apokaliptik dalam pemakaian bahasa simbol. Namun ada bagian-bagian yang justru masih menjadi misteri bagi pembacanya sebagai penyegelan terhadap maknanya.
