Hábitos saludables en universitarios de ciencias de la salud y de otras ramas de conocimiento: un estudio comparativo
Authors: Solera Sánchez Alba , Gamero Lluna Amparo
Published: June 2020

Introducción: Durante la vida universitaria, los estudiantes deberían consolidar sus hábitos saludables, que se verán reflejados posteriormente en su vida adulta. Esto es de especial importancia en el caso de los estudiantes que lleguen a ser profesionales del ámbito de la salud. Sin embargo, gran parte de la literatura concluye que los estudiantes reportan malos hábitos durante el periodo universitario. Objetivos: El presente estudio pretende determinar si estudiantes de ciencias de la salud (ECS) y estudiantes de otras ciencias (EOC) presentan hábitos saludables relacionados con la práctica de actividad física (AF) y adherencia a la Dieta Mediterránea (DM). Asimismo, saber si los ECS tienen hábitos más saludables que los EOC. Material y métodos: Se evaluaron los hábitos saludables de 104 estudiantes (52 ECS y 52 EOC) con edades comprendidas entre los 19 y 32 años. La práctica regular de AF fue determinada con el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ) y la adherencia a la DM, juntamente con los hábitos nutricionales, con el cuestionario PrediMed. Resultados: Un 51,92% de los ECS reportaron una práctica de AF relacionada principalmente con actividades vigorosas, mientras que el resto, con moderadas y leves. Por el contrario, la mayoría de EOC (67,31%) tiende a practicar AF leve. En relación con la adherencia a la DM, un 54% de los ECS presentaron adherencia a la DM en contraste con solo un 27% de los EOC. Finalmente, los ECS presentaron un consumo más elevado de frutas y zumos naturales, pescados y mariscos y frutos secos, mientras que los EOC se decantaron por un consumo mayor de carnes rojas y procesadas y bebidas azucaradas. Conclusiones: Los ECS presentaron hábitos más saludables que los EOC, una práctica regular de AF más intensa y una mayor adherencia a la DM. Se demuestra una relación directa entre los conocimientos en salud y unos hábitos más saludables en la población universitaria.

Hegemoni sains dan teknologi dari negara-negara maju [industrial] merupakan kenyataan dalam peradaban modern, yang telah dimanfaatkan ideologi kaptalisme untuk menerapkan model-model pembangunan di negara-negara di Dunia Ketiga [developmentalisme] dengan secara konsisten menerapkan paradigma dari filsafat positivisme. Dengan berpijak dari positivisme dalam ilmu pengetahuan sosial pada khususnya maka pengaruhnya sangat kuat dalam pembentukan teori-teori, analisa yang dibuat dan dalam mengambil kebijaksanaan dan keputusan terhadap masalah-masalah sosial dan kemanusiaan.Kata Kunci: Hegemoni, kapitalis
DISTINGSI KEILMUAN SOSIOLOGI AGAMA (Sejarah Perkembangan, Epistemologi, dan Kontribusi Praksis)
Authors: Soehadha Moh
Published: June 2020

Sociology studies of religion today have developed in various Islamic colleges in Indonesia. As a science developed in universities, the sociology of religion is built with a strong epistemological foundation. Unlike the sociology of religion developed from sociology in public universities, the sociology of religion in Islamic higher education is also influenced by the Comparative Science of Religion or the Study of Religions. The following article describes the development of religious sociology studies at the UIN Sunan Kalijaga which is distinctive. The distinction of the study of the sociology of religion is influenced by the history of the development of religious sociology study programs and the praxis of religious sociology to solve social and religious problems in Indonesia. Studi sosiologi agama dewasa ini telah berkembang di berbagai perguruan tinggi agama Islam di Indonesia. Sebagai ilmu pengetahuan yang dikembangkan di perguruan tinggi,  maka sosiologi agama dibangun dengan landasan  epistemologi yang kuat. Berbeda dengan sosiologi agama yang dikembangkan dari ilmu sosiologi yang ada di perguruan tinggi umum, sosiologi agama di perguruan tinggi agama Islam juga dipengaruhi oleh Ilmu Perbandingan Agama atau Studi Agama-agama. Tulisan berikut mendeskripsikan tentang perkembangan studi sosiologi agama di UIN Sunan Kalijaga yang bersifat distingtif. Distingsi kajian sosiologi agama tersebut dipengaruhi oleh sejarah perkembangan program studi sosiologi agama dan kebutuhan praksis sosiologi agama untuk menyelesaikan problem sosial keagamaan di Indonesia.
Assessing “the Religious” and “the Secular” in the Pilgrimage to Gus Dur’s Grave
Authors: Sya'rani Afifur Rochman
Published: June 2020

Abdurrahman Wahid, well-known as Gus Dur, is the fourth president of Indonesia. He was also the leader of Nahdlatul Ulama’ (NU), the largest Muslim organization in the country. Located in the area of Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) Tebuireng, Jombang, East Java, his grave is one the most visited places for pilgrimage, not only in Java, but also in Indonesia. It is reported that in 2017, “more than 3.000 people visit the grave per day, and can increase three times as much during Saturday and Sunday”. Due to the growing number of visitors, the grave has been renovated, and infrastructural facilities have been built, including the establishment of museum, monument, library, and area of parking. It is noteworthy that pilgrimage to particular religious sites has been called as wisata religi (religious tourism). For example, Gus Dur’s grave has been awarded as the best religious tourism in East Java by Anugerah Wisata Jawa Timur (AWJ) in 2017. This is interesting, as it implies that pilgrimage is not always religious, but also may contain secular instances. This article, thus, seeks to investigate how the religious and the secular go hand in hand in the context of pilgrimage by using Gus Dur’s grave as a case of study. I would argue that the problems should be putted in the context of debate over pilgrimage and tourism, considering that the term wisata religi or religious tourism has been attributed to religious sites and gravesites in particular which have been objectified as a tourist site. Pilgrimage is not merely about religious-based practices, but also about tourist practices. Therefore, this implies that pilgrimage and tourism cannot be viewed in a binary opposition. In the context of global tourism, both are intertwined and overlapped in some ways. In other words, pilgrimage may contain both religious and secular elements. Keywords: Gus Dur’s Grave, Pilgrimage, Tourism, Religious, Secular

Published: June 2020

The legal culture of public servants is determined by the fact that the legislation implements a mechanism for the formation of a moral component, which allows to limit the use of punitive measures and at the same time ensure compliance with the law in the framework of public administration processes. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that a public servant, in addition to following state standards for dealing with citizens, must also follow the general social culture of observing the rule of law. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that as the main component in the formation of the legal culture of public servants, it is necessary to consider the implementation of law and the corresponding moral standard directly in the legislation and, based on this position, implement practical activities both within the framework of the public administration system and within the framework of public interaction. The authors investigate the theoretical aspects of the implementation of this provision in the legislation of the countries of the Euroregion, Kazakhstan and the United States. The article shows that the main impact on the legal culture of public servants here is exerted by norms that are implicit in the legislation. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the theoretical model under study will make it possible to adopt basic regulations on the basis of the principles of sustainability of the society functioning and to adopt the concept of development of the rule of law.

Published: June 2020

Legal relations in labor activity are constantly undergoing reform in Ukrainian legislation. The reason for the reform can be considered the imperfection and instability of labor relations. These factors indicate the need to study legal relations in labor activities and understand the methodological approaches and the justification for reforming legislation. Based on the use of both general theoretical and branch scientific provisions, in particular labor law, it has been proposed in this research to develop main fundamental approaches to the methodology of legal regulation of labor relations in the context of modern development of Ukraine. The study revealed that the methods, methods and techniques used in the scientific knowledge of labor phenomena are interconnected and contribute to the formation of labor relations in the world of work. Conclusions are made regarding the nature and effectiveness of methodological approaches, their relationship with the principles of theoretical and practical activity of subjects of labor relations.
Conceptual Approaches to Understanding the Essence of Proof in the Science of Criminal Process in Ukraine
Authors: VAPNIARCHUK Viacheslav V. , KAPLINA Oksana V. , SHUMYLO Mykola Ye. , TUMANYANC Anush R.
Published: June 2020

The relevance of the issue stated in the paper is conditioned upon the existence of different scientific views in the science of the criminal process, both as to the essence of proof at large, and in relation to its individual institutions, categories and concepts, which were determined both by a philosophical and methodological basis inherent in certain periods of history, and by features of statutory regulation. The purpose of the paper is to distinguish scientific approaches (interpretations, concepts) to criminal procedural proof and substantiation of the expediency of isolation and use of the author's (complex and systemic) approach. The main approach to the study of this problem was to systematize approaches to criminal procedural proof on the basis of its substantive and functional understanding and to express critical (in both positive and negative terms) opinions on each of them. The paper proposes the identification of four different approaches to understanding the essence of criminal procedural proof: cognitive (wherein two types of interpretation are distinguished: logical (rational) and rational-empirical); active; integrated; complex and systemic. The materials of the paper represent both theoretical and practical value. They can be used for further scientific investigation of the nature of proof in criminal proceedings, as well as for the proper understanding and implementation of law enforcement criminal proceedings.
Evolution of the Forms of Threats to the Inviolability of Property Rights during Interstate Military Conflicts
Authors: YAROTSKIY Vitaliy , SPIESIVTSEV Denys
Published: June 2020

The research is devoted to consideration main forms of threats to the inviolability of property rights during interstate military conflicts in context of evolution of legal approaches to appropriate problem. It is determined that throughout the evolution of mankind, the escalation of inter-state agreement relations was often accompanied by the emergence of threats to property rights as of the member states of relevant local conflicts, as well as of individuals and legal entities whose property was located in the territory of the conflicting states. The nature of these threats has changed during the development of our civilization and is often accompanied by direct encroachments on property owned by the state involved in the conflict or owned by private individuals who fall within its jurisdiction or legally residing in its territory. And only in some cases, during these conflicts, the recognition of the inviolability of private property was guaranteed, while limiting the legal grounds for acquiring the property of the enemy state with the creation of effective mechanisms for national and international protection of such rights. Considerable attention is paid in the article to each stage of evolution of the forms of threats to the inviolability of property rights during interstate military conflicts and their features are analyzed. The paper shows how proprerietary relationships between common citizens and juridical persons correlate with property relationships between states during military conflicts.
Política y escritura de frontera en La hija extranjera de Najat El Hachmi: la migrante como paria
Authors: Jiménez Gómez Cristina
Published: June 2020

The autofictional novel La hija extranjera (2015), by the Catalan-Moroccan author Najat El Hachmi, is linked to the figure of exclusion and to what, in particular, Hannah Arent called “modern pariah”. Her literary writing vindicates a border thinking and the vision of a fragmentary, multiple and plural migrant female subject –contrary to the unitary male hegemonic subject – that shows, in Jacques Rancière’s terms, the close relationship that literature maintains with politics.
Voll- und Reduktionsformen im Dienst der Klammer
Authors: Droste Pepe
Published: June 2020

With rapid increases of token frequency, the formerly weak regular verb haben ›have‹ has been affected by processes of reduction and irregularization that led to a suppletive paradigm in New High German. In contemporary spoken German, haben may even show further reductions, resulting in a short-form paradigm. However, current empirical research documents extensive variation of full and reduced forms in spoken German and provides indications that this variation may be linked to the verbal brace. In this paper, we present the results of a corpus study testing the effects of the verbal brace on the form of haben. We find that the form systematically varies as a function of syntactic position, i.  e. that reduced forms occur when haben is positioned in the left brace and full forms occur when haben is positioned in the right brace. First, a mixed-model regression analysis reveals that the verbal brace has the strongest effect on the variation net of theoretically relevant controls. Second, an interactional-linguistic analysis of deviant cases shows that reduced variants in the right brace are recurrently used for the management of turn-taking. We conclude by discussing the consequences for the paradigm of the verb and how the results shed light on the importance and development-in-progress of the framing principle in German.

El gnóstico y la capacidad confutatoria de la palabra como recurso de su labor medicinal en Evagrio Póntico
Authors: Vázquez Santiago Hernán
Published: June 2020

El presente estudio procura examinar un aspecto del tópico general “Enfermedad y terapéutica del alma” en el pensador del Ponto. El aspecto que –en el marco de dicho tópico– nos interesa abordar aquí es el referente al reconocimiento evagriano de la capacidad confutatoria de la palabra como recurso terapéutico frente a la enfermedad del alma. La palabra tiene, para nuestro autor, una potencialidad terapéutica que puede ser actualizada por el llamado “gnóstico”. Éste, que conoce por experiencia el desorden de los pensamientos y pasiones inherente al alma caída, puede y debe aportar una palabra que cura al desenmascarar y desarticular el núcleo pasional subyacente. El gnóstico es, además, un puente entre el alma enferma y la Palabra sagrada permitiendo que aquélla se vea en ésta configurando –bajo su influjo– su mundo cognitivo y afectivo.
J-Shaped Upper Mini-Sternotomy Versus Full Sternotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement: A Comparative Study
Authors: Borrero Álvaro , Samboni Tatiana Julieth , Prado Natalia , Carrillo-Gómez Diana Cristina , Giraldo-Gonzalez German Camilo , Florez-Elvira Liliana , Cadavid-Alvear Eduardo
Published: June 2020

Background: This study aims to compare the characteristics between patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) through a J-shaped upper mini-sternotomy (UMS) and patients who underwent full sternotomy (FS) in the basis of clinical care and hospital outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients who were subjected to AVR by UMS from 2014 to 2017, compared with a historical control of patients who had undergone UMS by FS from 2011 to 2014. Patients, who received combined valve replacement or aortic surgery, as well as heart valve reinterventions due to endocarditis, were excluded. Sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, hospital and intensive care stay, blood transfusions, complications, and mortality of both procedures were compared.
Results: There were 57 patients under UMS and 99 patients under FS included in this study. The median age was 67 years, and 56.77% of the patients were male. No differences were observed in the past medical history and the type of valve implanted between the groups. During surgery, patients under UMS received a lower percentage of red blood cell and platelet transfusions compared with FS. However, UMS had a higher percentage of cryoprecipitate transfusion. Intensive care stay was shorter in UMS compared with FS (three days; interquartile range [IQR], 2–4; and four days; IQR, 2–6, respectively) without differences in overall hospital stay, postoperative complications, in-hospital mortality, and 30-day mortality.
Conclusions: The J-shaped upper mini-sternotomy is a feasible surgical technique that does not increase in-hospital or 30-day mortality, neither hospital stay nor infectious complications.
Savior in Desperate Situation: Successful TAVI for Critically Ill Patient with Severe Aortic Stenosis and Concomitant Constrictive Pericarditis Accompanied by Radiation Dermatitis, Complicated by Cold Abscess in Anterior Chest Wall
Authors: Kook Hyungdon , Jeong Han Saem , Yu Cheol Woong
Published: June 2020

Background: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) can coexist with severe aortic stenosis (AS), especially in patients with previous mediastinal radiation. Because impaired diastolic filling by CP may aggravate hemodynamic abnormalities from severe AS, leading to very low cardiac output, concomitant AS and CP result in a critical debilitating condition and pose a challenge to therapy.
Case Report: A 79-year-old woman was brought to our hospital with New York Heart Association class IV dyspnea and severe frailty (clinical frailty scale 8). She had a history of chronic constrictive pericarditis, severe aortic stenosis with reduced left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction 40%), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, and radiation dermatitis complicated by a cold abscess in the anterior chest wall from previous mediastinal radiation. She continually complained of dizziness, general weakness, and dyspnea despite optimal medical treatment, and her symptoms worsened recently while bedridden. Although simultaneous surgical pericardiectomy and aortic valve replacement is curative treatment, and the surgical risk was not high (Society of Thoracic Surgery score 4.745), her other comorbidities (radiation dermatitis, cold abscess, and severe frailty) eliminated the possibility of surgical treatment. Therefore, we decided on palliative treatment for CP after performing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe AS. We could not predict how she would recover from these conditions and were concerned about the high procedural risk associated with TAVI. Indeed, the patient had cardiac arrest during the TAVI procedure, and we implanted a 31-mm CoreValve while performing cardiac massage. After the patient recovered from cardiac arrest, we safely completed the TAVI procedure with a temporary pacemaker because of complete atrioventricular block. She recovered remarkably after TAVI with permanent pacemaker implantation, and is now able to walk without support.
Conclusion: Reduced diastolic filling by chronic CP aggravates hemodynamic deterioration through severe AS, leading to a very serious debilitating condition including severe frailty and decompensated heart failure. Although surgical pericardiectomy and aortic valve replacement are recommended as optimal therapy, TAVI alone can be an alternative therapeutic option if surgery is not possible.

An Uncommon Focal Liver Lesion: Intrahepatic Splenosis
Authors: Sansone Vito , Falsetti Lorenzo , Tovoli Francesco , Golfieri Rita , Cescon Matteo , Piscaglia Fabio
Published: June 2020

Multiple focal liver lesions were incidentally detected in a patient screened by ultrasound for a recent diagnosis of lower limb deep vein thrombosis, for which anticoagulation had been initiated. Past medical history reported a post-traumatic splenectomy 15 years before. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) showed a subcapsular lesion in liver segment 5 consistent with focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and multiple other nodules, with a different pattern from the former, judged as probable hepatic adenomas by MRI but probable hemangiomas by CEUS (hyperenhancement in the late phase). Therefore, another MRI with gadoxetic acid was performed. The diagnosis of FNH was confirmed. The other lesions showed an hyperenhancing pattern in the arterial phase with progressive wash-out in the portal and late phase and marked hypointensity in the hepatobiliary phase. This pattern apparently confirmed the hypothesis of adenomas, with a potential risk of malignancy due to the hepatobiliary phase pattern and the recent occurrence of deep vein thrombosis. Due to the inherent risk of spontaneous bleeding from subcapsular adenomas increased by the ongoing anticoagulant therapy and the recommendation of international guidelines to resect adenomas in male subjects, the patient was directly offered surgery. Pathology of the resected specimens confirmed one FNH but demonstrated intrahepatic splenosis for all other lesions. This case suggests that in the setting of previous splenic trauma any discrepancy between MRI and CEUS findings should lead one to consider also the hypothesis of intrahepatic splenosis.
Identification of Patients with Advanced Fibrosis Due to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Considerations for Best Practice

Published: June 2020

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) prevalence has increased in the past two decades, resulting in a significant but under-recognised public health burden. This impacts the prevalence of advanced fibrosis, end-stage liver disease and associated extrahepatic manifestations. To understand the challenges in recognising patients with advanced fibrosis due to NASH and develop a standardised approach to screen these patients, the authors of this document provided their opinions and expertise from practice and published evidence to identify key challenges and current approaches for diagnosing NASH. The severity of liver fibrosis due to NASH is the main indicator of associated morbidity and mortality outcomes. Therefore, identifying patients with, or at risk of, advanced fibrosis due to NASH and linking them to appropriate care is critical. This can be challenging due to a lack of awareness of NASH among healthcare professionals and a lack of standardised protocols for identifying patients. Simple noninvasive tests may provide an opportunity to facilitate early identification of these patients. This article proposes a simple, universally applicable diagnostic algorithm for use in clinical practice, that includes sequential use of noninvasive tests, ideally a biological marker and an imaging technique, which may help to facilitate early diagnosis of these patients. In the opinion of the authors, early detection of advanced fibrosis is fundamental in the efforts to halt the progression of NASH and diagnostic algorithms may facilitate pre-emptive interventions to curtail the disease.

The Association between Periodontitis and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Wijarnpreecha Karn , Panjawatanan Panadeekarn , Cheungpasitporn Wisit , Lukens Frank J , Harnois Denise M , Pungpapong Surakit , Ungprasert Patompong
Published: June 2020

Background and Aims: Recent studies have suggested an association between periodontitis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) although the results were inconsistent. The current systematic review and meta- analysis was conducted with the aim to comprehensively investigate this possible association by identifying all relevant studies and combining their results together.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted utilizing the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases through December 2019 to identify all studies that compared the risk of NAFLD among patients with periodontitis to individuals without periodontitis. Effect estimates from each study were extracted and combined using the random-effect, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird.

Results: A total of five studies with 27,703 participants fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. All five studies reported the magnitude of association between NAFLD and periodontitis that was diagnosed based on the periodontal pocket depth of > 3.5-4 mm. The pooled OR of unadjusted analysis was 1.48 (95%CI: 1.15-1.89; I 2 92%). However, when adjusted results from the primary studies were used, pooled OR decreased to 1.13 and lost its statistical significance (95%CI: 0.95–1.35; I 2 67%). Three studies reported the magnitude of association between NAFLD and periodontitis that was diagnosed based on a clinical attachment level of ≥ 3 mm. The pooled OR of unadjusted analysis was 1.13 (95%CI: 1.07-1.20; I 2 0%). However, when adjusted results from the primary studied were used, pooled OR decreased to 1.08 and lost its statistical significance (95%CI: 0.94–1.24; I 2 58%).

Conclusions: The study found a significant association between periodontitis and NAFLD. However, the association lost its significance when various metabolic parameters were adjusted, suggesting that those metabolic conditions, not periodontitis itself, were predisposing factors for NAFLD.

Published: June 2020

Aims: This study aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) infection in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and to identify risk factors for PJP using a retrospective case–control study.

Methods: Of 4,525 patients with UC treated between 2007 and 2019, we identified those who satisfied the criteria for PJP. The Lichtiger clinical activity index (LCI) was compared between the initiation of immunosuppressive drug treatment and the onset of PJP. A retrospective case–control study was conducted using a PJP group and a non-PJP group.

Results: Nine patients experienced PJP, of whom two died. Since October 2014, there were no cases of PJP among UC patients aged ≥50 years who were prescribed three or more immunosuppressive agents given prophylactic sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (TPM-SMX). The median LCI (range) was 13 (8–17) at the initiation of treatment versus 2 (1–8) at PJP onset (p = 0.016). The median time to PJP onset was 83 days after treatment initiation. In the PJP group the median age was significantly greater (p = 0.022), three immunosuppressants were used significantly more frequently (p = 0.004), and the lymphocyte counts during treatment were significantly lower (p < 0.01) than in the non-PJP group. The cut-off lymphocyte count that distinguished PJP patients from non-PJP patients was 570/μL according to a receiver-operating curve analysis.

Conclusions: Prophylactic administration of TPM-SMX prevented further cases of PJP. The onset of PJP occurred at the same time as the symptoms of UC were stabilizing and the immunosuppressive drugs were being reduced. Greater age, lower lymphocyte count, and treatment with three immunosuppressive drugs were risk factors for PJP.
Konvergensi Media Dakwah: Studi Kasus Radio Komunitas Ma’dinul Ulum Tulungagung
Authors: Panuju Redi
Published: June 2020

This study discusses the convergence of media conducted by Pesantren Madinul Ulum (Madu) community radio in Campurdarat Tulungagung East Java for promoting Islam. It is interestingly enough to be studied because there are limited availability of channels and the function of community radio constrained by government laws and regulations. Using qualitative approach during January-August 2016, the study has found that this community radio has taken advantage of regulatory gaps to develop a converged media strategy for da'wah. This is conducted by utilizing streaming media, building community radio networks, synergizing with private broadcast radio, setting up private TVs, combining radio broadcasts with online media, and combining on-air with off-air activities.
Problematika Dakwah di Kalangan Minoritas Muslim Desa Poka Kota Ambon
Authors: Renel Baiti
Published: June 2020

This paper provides an in-depth analysis of proselytizing problems and strategies among the Muslim minority in Poka Village, Ambon City. Using qualitative des–criptive method, this research concludes that many da'is in Poka village have faced two main problems both internal and external issues. The former related to the number of da'i, the role of da'wah institutions which is not optimal, and the lack of community solidarity in propagating Islam. In addtion, many da’is do not possess a high Islamic intellectual quality and a good quality of education. The latter problems related to the lack of government attention on Islam as well as the dominant influence of non-Muslim environments. While da’wah strategies conducted by da'is are da’wah bi al-lisan and da'wah bi al-hal.

The emergency of sexual violence against children in Indonesia is considered to involve religious intervention for resolution. This article discusses the role of Islamic teachings in creating individual, social, cultural, and contextual forces as factors affecting synergetic communication for children, which further contributes to minimizing sexual abuse against children. This article argues that Islamic teachings such as introducing the masculine and feminine souls towards children in the early age, introducing the concept of aurat and sexual education to children as well as providing qishas or diyat punishment for child sexual offenders, will be able to contribute to creating societal and individual forces for their social communication skills that can protect them form predators of sexual abuse.

This paper analyses the social communication model of a menyilaq ritual within the Bayan indigenous people in North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). By using the ethnographic communication approach, this study found that the tradition of menyilaq carried out by Pebenkel to the Bayan indigenous people utilised the patterns of passive top-down and active top-down socialization. The Menyilaq ritual reflected effective communication as there were personal contact and immediate feedback within both top-down socialisation models. Additionally, it became a medium of communication of silaturahim which were considered as a form of respects to maintain family ties and able to build good relations among community members. Further, the tradition has shown its consistency in maintaining the tradition of information delivery amid the onslaught of the current communication technology.

ABSTRACT Prioritizing surgical procedures aims at facilitating patient’s access according to the clinical needs, maximizing access equity, and minimizing the damage from delayed access. Previous categorization of elective bariatric surgery have been adapted to define an objective prioritizing system that reflects those principles for bariatric and metabolic operations. Given the factors that contribute to the morbidity and mortality of obese and type 2 diabetes patients, surgical prioritization should be based on clinical risk stratification. For patients with type 2 diabetes, we suggest that the operation may be prioritized for those with a higher risk of morbidity and mortality in a relatively short term. Likewise, it is necessary to guide the surgical team regarding the necessary care both in the pre, per and postoperative periods of bariatric and metabolic surgery. These recommendations aim to reduce the risk of in-hospital contamination of the surgical team among health professionals and between health professionals and patients. In summary, these recommendations have been shaped after a thorough analysis of the available literature and are extremely important to mitigate the harm related to the clinical complications of obesity and its comorbidities while keeping healthcare providers’ and patients’ safety.

ABSTRACT The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has been wreaking havoc all over the planet. In a precautionary measure, populations have been forced and kept under quarantine to contain the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease. The quarantine primary goal is to avoid the overload to the hospitals, which should be available for the care of COVID-19 patients. However, the virus does not have a uniform spread throughout the planet, and Brazil is no different. Although all the world’s attention is now on the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no similar pattern of spread, and other diseases are still a real problem. Given the risks of transmission between patients and healthcare providers, there is a great challenge for healthcare institutions who must balance resources to assure safe care to patients and professionals while they take care of other disease patients, and perform surgical procedures that need to be carried out. Under such circumstances, as COVID-19 can also present pre- or asymptomatic transmission, it can be challenging to identify patients who are carrying and spreading the virus. Studies and information on mandatory testing for who are candidates to undergo elective surgery are scarce. Thus, the authors have reviewed the literature, and discuss the need to test these patients under the current context.
