Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dalam Program Kampung Tangguh Semeru Sebagai Upaya Pemulihan Ekonomi Terdampak Pendemi di Dusun Gerdu Kecamatan Bumiaji Kota Batu
Authors: Setiawan Andi
Published: December 2023

Penelitian ini membahas mengenai pemberdayaan masyarakat  dalam program kampung tangguh semeru Dusun Gerdu sebagai upaya dalam memulihkan ekonomi terdampak pendemi beserta faktor pendorong dan penghambat serta implementasinya. Peneliti menggunakan teori pemberdayaan masyarakat dengan pendekatan 7D menurut Dhamotharan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan peneliti  adalah metode kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan masyarakat di Dusun Gerdu melakukan pengembangan hubungan dengan adanya kegiatan silaturahmi yang terjalin diantara para stakeholders. Dalam penemuan kapasitas juga terjadi dengan adanya potensi-potensi di Dusun Gerdu yang telah dikembangkan. Membangun cita-cita masyarakat dilakukan dengan cangkrukan di waktu senggang para warga. Arah tindakan masyarakat ditentukan dengan melakukan sosialisasi sehingga setiap warga di Dusun Gerdu saling memahami visi dan misi kampung kedepannya. Perancangan tindakan masyarakat dilakukan oleh para pengurus Kampung Tangguh Semeru yang berkoordinasi dengan kepolisian dan Pemerintah Desa Tulungrejo. Dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat dilakukan kegiatan monitoring oleh pihak kepolisian, selain itu segala sesuatu yang menghambat kelancaran kegiatan akan dibantu dan dicarikan solusinya oleh kepolisian dan pemerintah desa selaku pembina pada program Kampung Tangguh Semeru. Proses dokumentasi dan pengambilan hal yang dapat dipelajari telah dilakukan oleh masyarakat, dimana segala bentuk dokumentasi telah dimiliki dan dikumpulkan sejak awal kegiatan pemberdayaan dimulai, dan masyarakat telah mendapatkan pelajaran dari setiap proses yang telah dilalui. Kesimpulannya adalah program Kampung Tangguh Semeru di Dusun Gerdu dalam memulihkan ekonomi belum sepenuhnya berhasil, dikarenakan belum berjalannya program yang berasal dari Kepolisian itu sendiri selaku fasilitator dan inisator program KTS. Namun, perekonimian membaik dengan dibukanya beberapa warung yang mampu memberikan penghasilan tambahan dan pekerjaan sampingan bagi masyarakat yang menganggur. Hal tersebut juga dipengaruhi oleh faktor pendukung berupa rasa gotong royong dan semangat ingin maju yang tinggi serta lokasi yang startegis. Adapun faktor penghambatnya yaitu modal bagi pengembangan KTS, mental masyarakat yang belum terbentuk, pemasaran dan promosi yang belum maksimal.

Navigating Disclosure Obstacles Encountered by Individuals with HIV at Kakomo Healing Centre IV in Kabale District
Authors:   Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Dentistry Kampala International University Western Campus Uganda, Godfrey Ahimbisibwe
Published: December 2023

HIV/AIDS remains a pressing global health concern, particularly impacting socio-economic development in various African nations, Uganda included. Revealing one's HIV-positive status to a family member or relative is crucial for adherence to effective antiretroviral therapy, which significantly enhances the survival and well-being of those living with HIV. To evaluate the hurdles faced by individuals with HIV at Kakomo HC IV in Kabale District regarding disclosure and to curtail new infections in this community, a descriptive crosssectional study was conducted. The study sampled individuals living with HIV at Kakomo HC IV randomly, utilizing a pretested questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The gathered data underwent coding, sorting, entry, and analysis through statistical software (SPSS), presented via tables and charts. Findings revealed that only 40 (50.6%) were adequately prepared before disclosing their status, while 30 (37.0%) neither prepared nor disclosed to anyone. 61 (63.5%) received education on the importance of disclosure during clinic visits, but 26 (46.4%) neither disclosed nor received such education. Barriers to disclosure primarily stemmed from anxiety about blame, stigma, fear of losing a partner, and violence among 18 (54.5%), 19 (52.8%), 30 (39.0%), and 2 (18.2%) individuals, respectively. Despite 62 (43.4%) intending to disclose to someone, 88 (98.9%) faced barriers to disclosing their status. Misconceptions in 51 (31.9%) communities and potential discrimination by families in the same proportion highlighted the challenges. Consequently, 123 (76.9%) still fear others spreading word of their HIV-positive status. Understanding disclosure motivations is crucial, requiring tailored strategies for decisionmaking based on the discloser's needs and their intended audience. The significance of support, proximity, and relational dynamics between the discloser and the recipient emphasizes the necessity for a secure environment during disclosure. Keywords: HIV/AIDS, Antiretroviral therapy, HIV-positive, HIV status, Stigma.

Authors:   Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Dentistry Kampala International University Western Campus Uganda., Salim Al-Busaidy Swalah Suleiman
Published: December 2023

In recent years, Africa has witnessed a notable shift in its disease landscape from acute infectious conditions to chronic non-communicable diseases like diabetes. The economic impact of diabetes and its complications has become a significant concern, affecting individuals, families, healthcare systems, and national economies through direct medical costs and productivity loss. Uganda, in particular, has observed a rising prevalence of diabetes, with the Uganda Diabetes Association reporting a 1.4% prevalence, accounting for approximately 500,000 individuals affected. This surge in diabetes presents a dual challenge as both a public health issue and an economic burden, necessitating vigilant monitoring and stringent management. Recognizing its profound public health implications in terms of morbidity, mortality, and cost, a comprehensive investigation into the prevalence and complications of diabetes mellitus was conducted at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital (JRRH). Using a retrospective facility-based cross-sectional study design encompassing qualitative and quantitative approaches, this research reviewed 784 patient records admitted to JRRH from January 2018 to December 2018. The findings revealed a notably high prevalence of diabetes mellitus at 8.2%. Noteworthy gender disparities were observed, with a higher prevalence among males (12%) than females (6%) within the studied population. Moreover, urban dwellers exhibited a higher susceptibility to diabetes compared to rural counterparts, and the risk was observed to escalate with age. Complications associated with diabetes mellitus were alarmingly prevalent, reaching 89.23%, predominantly characterized by microvascular complications, accounting for 56.90%. Despite the severity of complications, the case fatality rate stood at 1.54%, lower than the documented 4%, possibly influenced by a spectrum of contributing factors both positive and negative. The study underscores the urgency for increased focus on diabetes care in Jinja, emphasizing the imperative for further research, robust health education initiatives, and enhanced funding allocation toward managing this escalating health concern. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Diseases, Public Health, Complications, Males and Females.

Authors:   Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Dentistry Kampala International University Western Campus Uganda., Gonz Byaruhanga Aloysious
Published: December 2023

Antenatal care (ANC) plays a pivotal role in curbing maternal mortality rates. This investigation sought to gauge the prevalence of and factors influencing antenatal care service utilization among pregnant women visiting Mutara Health Centre III's antenatal care clinic. The study involved 200 pregnant women in a cross-sectional analysis, employing an interview questionnaire to assess ANC service utilization determinants. Statistical Package for Social Sciences software was utilized for data analysis. The prevalence was determined by comparing the actual ANC attendance (from mid-July 2022 to mid-August 2022) against the projected monthly ANC attendance (300). The resulting attendance rate of 66.67% was categorized as inadequate, falling below the globally recommended coverage of 80%. Demographic findings revealed that the majority (57.5%) were peasants, while 47.5% of their partners had primary education. Alarmingly, 62.5% lacked knowledge regarding the appropriate timing for seeking ANC. Key conclusions drawn were that the attendance rate for ANC was notably low, coupled with inadequate knowledge among pregnant women about ANC and a prevalence of low socioeconomic status. Recommendations included tailored education programs for expectant mothers on ANC services by healthcare personnel at Mutara Health Centre III, public awareness campaigns by the Mitooma district health officer emphasizing the benefits of ANC attendance, governmental strategies to improve the livelihoods of those served by the health center, and a proposed study to assess maternal mortality prevalence specifically at Mutara Health Centre III. Keywords: Antenatal care, Pregnant women, maternal mortality, Healthcare workers.
Influencing Elements Impacting the Participation in Cervical Cancer Screening Among Women of Childbearing Age at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital, Eastern Uganda
Authors:   Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Dentistry Kampala International University Western Campus Uganda., Etale Belia Ngesa
Published: December 2023

This research aimed to gauge cervical cancer screening participation and its influencing factors among Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital (JRRH) in Eastern Uganda. Conducted from January to April 2021, the study utilized a cross-sectional descriptive design, surveying 370 WRA through pretested semi-structured questionnaires. Analysis was performed using SPSS version 20, presenting outcomes through tables, frequencies, percentages, and logistic regression analyses. Among the 370 respondents, merely 24.3% (90 individuals) had undergone cervical cancer screening. Of these, 14.1% had one screening, 7.0% had two screenings, and 3.2% had been screened three or more times. The primary mode of screening (11%) occurred during medical camps. Regarding awareness, 89.7% had heard of cervical screening, predominantly through radio broadcasts (41.0%), with 41.4% recognizing its purpose and 52.4% acknowledging its role in early detection and treatment. Furthermore, 94.3% viewed cervical cancer screening as a beneficial practice, with 81.1% advocating for other women to undergo screening, while 90% believed in promoting this practice. Culturally and religiously, the acceptance of cervical cancer screening was widespread. Demographically, most respondents (66.5%) fell within the 15-30 age bracket, with the majority identifying as Anglicans (33.8%) and 88.9% being Ugandan nationals. Educational attainment was predominantly at the secondary (37.0%) and tertiary (39.2%) levels. Regression analysis indicated that being Anglican significantly influenced the uptake of cervical cancer screening [OR=2.219(1.039 – 3.899); 95% CI, P=0.038)]. Despite increased knowledge and awareness about cervical cancer screening’s purpose, treatment, and associated complications, uptake remains below desired levels. Notably, a substantial number of women did not seek screening due to the absence of signs or symptoms and lack of advice from medical professionals, exposing a gap in primary healthcare significance. The study underscores the need for heightened health education across healthcare platforms to emphasize the critical importance of cervical cancer screening and encourage more women to partake in this essential preventive practice. Keywords: Cancer, Women, Cervical cancer screening, Pap smear test

Authors: Ahsan Saleha , Attia Aman-Ullah
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study is to measure the effect of leadership on job performance through the mediating role of emotional intelligence. Primary data were collected from 530 Pakistani private hospital employees. Structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. SMART PLS 4.0 software was used to draw the results from the data. Statistical techniques like, bootstrapping through process were used to explore the results and to test the hypotheses from the collected data. The results of this study revealed that leadership has a positive impact on job performance of employees in private hospitals of Pakistan. Further, bootstrapping analysis revealed that emotional intelligence mediates the positive effect of leadership on job performance in health sector. The study highlights that leadership is not only effective or applicable in western countries only, but it is also very effective in Pakistan. The most prominent limitation of this study is that the data were gathered from a single source. This may occur common method variance. Cross-sectional approach is also one of the limitations of this study. In health sector, leadership can enhance the job performance of the employees through the mediating role of emotional intelligence. Proper and meaningful training should be given to organizational leaders in hospitals with specific focus on leadership skills in improving emotional intelligence and job performance. The research studies on measuring the role of leadership on job performance through the mediating role of emotional intelligence are very limited. Little investigations are available on the leadership and its role in health sector especially in Pakistan. This study clarifies the role of leadership in enhancing job performance of the health care employees through the existence of the emotional intelligence. No study tested this model with three theories. This study makes a theoretical contribution by integrating three relevant theories; Campbell's theory of job performance, Goleman's mixed model theory, leadership theory.

Authors: Toseef Muhammad
Published: December 2023

This study used household income and expenditure, parental perception, believes in tribal norms and voice of mother in the decision making as independent variable to their impact on child’s schooling decision compared with its alternate available activities. In this study we used a unique data set collected from various districts of Pakistan for a child labor and education project. The observed relation between income inequality and parental education and the schooling of their children is calculated through a simultaneous equation model. The results reveal that along with the income and education of parents their perception and the role of the mother in decision making have a positive impact on the offspring’s schooling. However, belief in tribal norms has a negative significant influence on the schooling of the offspring.

Klasik Türk Şiirine Tasavvufun Tesiri: Rumelili Mutasavvıf Şairler Örneği
Authors: ÜNAL Mehmet
Published: December 2023

Tasavvuf, kalp bilgisi olarak tanımlanan ve manevi deneyimlere odaklanan bir alan olarak bilinir. Türk klâsik edebiyatının önemli kaynaklarından biridir. Eşyalara ve olaylara nasıl bakılırsa bakılsın, hemen her divan şairinin şiirlerinde tasavvufun etkileri görülür. Bazı şairler şiirlerinde tamamen tasavvufu işlerken, bazı şairlerde ise tasavvuf sadece motif olarak görülür. Tasavvufun hayata geçirilmesi tarikatlar vasıtasıyla gerçekleşmiştir. Bir tarikata katılmak için bir olgun rehbere, yani mürşid-i kâmile ihtiyaç vardır. Tarikatlarda mürşitlerin liderliğiyle alt şubeler oluşmuş ve zamanla anlayış ve yöntem farklılıkları nedeniyle birçok şube ortaya çıkmıştır. Osmanlı İslam toplumunda asırlardır tarikatlar, Müslümanların vazgeçilmez unsurları olmuştur. Zaviye ve tekkelerin bir amacı da topluma dini, ahlaki ve sosyal faaliyetler sunarak gönüllü müesseseler haline gelmişlerdir. Tasavvuf ve tarikatlar Osmanlı dini yaşamında olduğu kadar sosyo-kültürel hayatta da önemli bir yere sahipti. Bu etki, divan şairlerinin hayatlarında ve şiirlerinde görülebilir. Tezkirelere göre, şairler Halveti, Gülşeni, Celveti, Hamzavi, Mevlevi, Nakşi, Bektaşi, Bayrami, Kadiri, Şa'bani, Üveysi ve Hurufi tarikatlarından birine intisap etmişlerdir. Tarikatlar, şairlere manevi ilham kaynağı olmuş ve şiirlerinde tasavvufi motiflerin kullanılmasına yol açmıştır. Şairler, tarikatlara bağlılıklarını şiirlerinde ifade etmiş ve bu tarikatların öğretileriyle şekillenen bir dünya görüşü ortaya koymuşlardır. Bu şekilde, tarikatlar Osmanlı edebiyatının ve kültürünün önemli bir parçası olmuştur. Bu dönemde, birçok şair, zamanın gerektirdiği şartlardan ötürü tasavvufa ilgi duymuş ve seyr-i suluk yoluyla makam sahibi olmuştur. Bazıları ise şeyhlik ve postnişinlik makamına yükselerek bu görevi üstlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Rumeli menşeli 17-18. yüzyılda yaşamış bazı tarikat mensubu divan sahibi bazı şairler üzerinde durulacaktır.

Published: December 2023

Zero-carbon fuels are expected to catalyse the decarbonisation of the maritime industry, with hydrogen being considered a long-term solution. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using hydrogen as a secondary fuel in marine diesel engines. A marine four-stroke engine with a nominal power output of 10.5 MW at 500 rpm was investigated, whereas the hydrogen injection at the engine port was considered. A CFD model was set up in CONVERGE for both diesel and the diesel-hydrogen operating modes to investigate the effects of 20% hydrogen fuel fraction (by energy) on engine performance, emissions, and combustion characteristics. This model was validated against experimental data for the diesel operating mode. Based on a parametric study, the mesh characteristics were selected to compromise between the prediction error and the computational effort. The impact of 20% hydrogen energy fraction on the heat release rate (HRR) and NOx emissions is comparing with the diesel mode. The results demonstrate that despite the reduction in carbon emissions when using hydrogen, the NOx emissions increase by 2.5 times, whereas the lower compression ratio allows for engine free-knock operation. This study contributes to the identification of efficient and reliable combustion conditions for diesel-hydrogen dual-fuel marine engines.

The adoption of alternative energy carriers is one of the key ways to meet the increasingly stricter emission regulations faced by shipping vessels from the international maritime organisation (IMO) and European Commission. To support this objective, this study examines the challenges and uncertainties associated with implementing a methanol power propulsion and energy (PPE) system on the design of a vessel. This paper argues that new fuels, such as methanol, should be treatedas disruptive innovations due, in part, to the uncertainties surrounding their implementation. Their integration causes challenges regarding systems selection, layout design, and maintaining strict safety measures. In the case of methanol, current research treats the fuel as a system conversion based on diesel fuel. This paper provides a review of the state-of-the-art on the design of methanol fuelled vessels, and identifies a research gap related to the need for a new suitable design method for the design of ships integrating future alternatively fuelled PPE systems. A design approach inspired by model-based systems engineering integrating uncertainty modelling is proposed to examine the influence of uncertainty on the design of the vessels. The impact of uncertainty on the design is investigated through a case study of a simplified engine room layout utilizing a genetic algorithm to produce layouts for variable PPE systems dimensions within a MonteCarlo simulation.

Published: December 2023

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology offers a promising way to reduce maritime greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.Integration with a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) allows unreacted hydrogen, produced in the SOFC stack, to be reused and increase the electrical efficiency of the system. In this study, the Cycle Tempo software is used to model a SOFC-PEFMC combined cycle system operating on methane. The system is thermodynamically analysed to reveal the influence of SOFC fuel utilisation, cell voltage, operating temperature and PEMFC cell voltage on the system performance. A multivariable parametric analysis is applied to generate contour plots of net electrical efficiency and fraction of total power produced by the PEMFC. The analysis shows that increasing the cell voltage of both the SOFC and PEMFC has a positive influence on efficiency, whereas increasing the fuel utilisation reduces the system efficiency. Efficiencies in the range of 50-68% can be achieved. Model assumptions for PEMFC operating parameters are verified to exert little influence on the system efficiency, which confirms the assumption of constant values for these parameters. This study highlights the high-efficiency potential of the combined system and the difficulties that arise from thermally integrating an SOFC with a PEMFC.

Urolithiasis, commonly known as kidney stones, is a prevalent urological disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. The present study aims to investigate the potential Antiurolithiatic activity of the aqueous leaves extract of Bauhinia variegata against ethylene glycol-induced urolithiasis in Wistar rats. This research involves a comprehensive pharmacological evaluation, including various biochemical, histological, and molecular analyses, to elucidate the mechanism of action and therapeutic potential of the plant extract. When ethylene glycol (EG) is given to rats in their drinking water at a concentration of 0.75 percent (v/v), oxalate is immediately and considerably excreted in the urine. Thirty inbred Wistar rats (weighing between 180 and 200g each) were utilized. There were five groups created for this 28-day research. The first group (the controls) received merely water. Group 2 was the uroolithiatic-induced group and received Ethylene glycol (EG) in drinking water at a concentration of 0.75 percent (v/v). Ethylene glycol (EG) drinking water (0.75% v/v) and 50 mg/kg body weight (i.p.) were administered to Group 3. Test-1 consisted of an aqueous Bauhinia variegate leaf extract. Group 4 received 100 mg/kg of body weight i.p. and ethylene glycol (EG) in water at a concentration of 0.75 v/v. Test-2 consisted of an aqueous Bauhinia variegate leaf extract. Group 5 received the gold-standard treatment, 5 ml/kg body weight p.o. of Cystone (Himalaya health care Pvt. Ltd) functioned as a benchmark sample for comparison. Biochemical and histological analysis indicated that Bauhinia variegate leaf extract prevented oxidative stress and harm to renal cells brought on by calcium oxalate crystals.

In this review it is explained about production of gelatin and a special type of hard gelatin capsules with their packaging and storage. Capsules are solid dosage preparations that contain a soft soluble shell of gelatin that encloses the drug substance(s) and/or excipients whereas hard capsules are made up of two pieces that resemble cylinders that are closed at one end: the longer piece is called the "body," and the shorter piece is called the "cap." A variety of formulation types, the majority of which are meant for oral administration, can be filled into capsules. Special applications include capsules that can be added to diagnostic kits, loaded into dry powder inhalers and occasionally soft-shell capsules meant to be inserted as suppositories into the vagina or the rectal cavity. Gelatin or another appropriate polymeric material is typically used to create the sell, which produces an elegant, tasteless, odourless, simple, and easily swallowed dosage form without the need for a second coating step. Capsules can be categorized as hard or soft depending on the makeup of the capsule shell. There was also emphasis on the different packaging and storage techniques.

To attain the necessary concentration of medication in the systemic circulation for the predicted pharmacological response, solubility the phenomenon of solute dissolving in solvent to produce a homogeneous system is a crucial characteristic to consider. The primary challenge in developing formulations for both novel chemical entities and generics is their low water solubility. Formulation scientists face a significant obstacle in solubility. The Classification of Biopharmaceutics states that APIs from Classes II and IV have reduced bioavailability, dissolution, and solubility. The article covers a range of technologies that can be used to make drugs that aren't very water-soluble more soluble. These include crystal engineering, pharmaceutical salts, drug nanocrystals, solid dispersion methods, polymeric micelle preparation, cosolvents, micelles, microemulsions, and emulsion formation. Physical and chemical drug modifications, crystal engineering, salt formation, solid dispersion, surfactant use, micronization, solid dispersions, nano sizing, cyclodextrin complexation, and other advanced methodologies are primarily described in this review. Other methods also contribute to improving solubility and bioavailability. It was an effort to talk about different complexation methods and to quickly point out their possible uses, as well as their technical and economic limits.
