Integritas Terbuka dalam Pengembangan Inklusivisme Beragama Masyarakat Kampung Susuru
Authors: Suhendi Hendi , Rahman Mohammad Taufiq
Published: March 2023

Masyarakat Kampung identik dengan kehidupan tradisional dan homogen baik dari etnis, budaya maupun agama. Masyarakat Kampung yang kental dengan sikap ‘‘curiga’’ jika ada pendatang dengan keyakinan agama berbeda. Sikap umum tersebut tidak berlaku untuk Kampung Susuru. Meskipun Kampung Susuru secara geografis berada terpencil dari kampung lainnya tetapi memiliki relasi sosial yang baik dengan sesama warga yang berbeda agama. Inklusivisme beragama warga Kampung Susuru menjadi nilai khas yang sangat berharga karena merupakan modal besar dalam mencipatakan kerukunan antar umat beragama yang berdampak tehadap kedamaian dan keamanan Kampung. Contoh wujud kerukunan tersebut dapat dilihat dari praktek ibadah mereka, dimana setiap warga yang berbeda agama saling menghormati dan membantu dalam pelaksanaan ibadah warga lain yang berbeda agama. Selain itu kebiasaan gotong royong diantara warga dalam mebangun tempat ibadah merupakan penegasan dari sikap inklusivisme mereka. Untuk meningkatkan inklusivisme tersebut dapat dilakukan melalui pendekatan integritas terbuka yakni sikap keterbukaan terhadap klaim kebenaran, mempertahankan keunikan setiap agama dan respon terhadap relativisme yang dapat kembangkan melalui sepuluh tahapan pembelajaran yaitu membangun kesadaran: nilai-nilai ku dan nilai dalam dirimu, membangun keterhubungan nilai dan spiritual diri, membangun keterhubungan dari pohon kehidupan, merumusakan mimpi, , membangun keterhubungan hidup dengan orang lain, membangun karakter damai dari pikiran damai, membangun dialog antar iman yang lebih baik, membangun keterbukaan, membangun keterhubungan dalam dialog antar agama dan melakukan perubahan secara terbuka.

Peat is a wetland region in Indonesia with a very high water storage capacity. However, the amount of humic compounds obtained from the accumulation of organic substances in peat makes the water unable to be used for daily purposes. Peat water treatment with several methods has been carried out, such as coagulation, electrocoagulation, flocculation, and filtration. However, the result of clumping or filtering in such a way raises new environmental problems. One method which effective and efficient used in peat water treatment is photocatalytic. Several materials based-semiconductor was developed as a photocatalyst, another modification of photocatalyst is combining the adsorbent as a porous supporting photocatalyst which can improve its performance.

This study aims to determined the level of flood vulnerability and most dominant factors that cause flood vulnerability in the Kahayan watershed, Gunung Mas District in Central Kalimantan. This study used a quantitative method by looking at the effect of each flood parameter to determine the level of flood vulnerability or vulnerable areas in the Kahayan watershed. The results are based on research carried out in the Kahayan watershed which has 4 levels of flood vulnerability classification: low vulnerability, medium vulnerability, high vulnerability, and very high vulnerability. The high level of flood vulnerability was the largest area with an area of ​​568.146 ha or 65,25% of the Kahayan watershed area of ​​Gunung Mas District as a whole, the medium vulnerability level was 185.634 ha (21,32%), very high vulnerability level was 61,716 ha (7,09 %), and low vulnerability was the area with the smallest area of ​​55.231 ha (6,34%) of the total area of ​​the Kahayan watershed in this district. The sub-districts with the highest area at a very high level of flood susceptibility were Tewah sub-district and Kurun sub-district. The most dominant factor that causes flood vulnerability in the Kahayan watershed area of Gunung Mas District was the slope that reaches 0-8% which was included in the flat category, with 3 land criteria, namely floodplain areas, river border areas, and basin areas.

Charity boxes provided in many public places today still use locks such as master locks or padlocks. The rampant cases of theft of charity boxes occur repeatedly because charity boxes are easily broken into and even transported by thieves. The absence of a double security system is an obstacle for charity box managers. Realizing the design concept of a double security system for charity boxes using several electronic components such as fingerprint sensors and methods of sending notifications will minimize the occurrence of the crime of theft or burglary of charity boxes. The security device design architecture is made using the notification method in the form of notifications via short messages using a communication device, namely the SIM800L serial module as a transmission medium for sending short message text data if irregularities are found in the charity box. This charity box security system uses an authorization system for managers who are entitled to be registered with the device in the form of a cellular number. The microcontroller control board plays an important role in processing various instructions so as to produce output information on the screen that is installed in the charity box to display access information when the device is working. Another feature of this tool is that it is equipped with a buzzer component as a warning sign in the form of a sound if an activity process is not recognized it will ring loudly according to the conditions. A security system like this will provide a solution and increase security in the storage of charity boxes so managers can feel comfortable.

Moda e arte sob o olhar da psicanálise
Authors: Sasaki Silvia
Published: March 2023

Tanto a moda quanto a arte, em tempos atuais, estão presentes em todos os campos da comunicação, concretizando desejos e necessidades. Porém, é extremamente profunda a ação de criar, observar e consumir, uma vez que tais atos estão intimamente ligados ao psicológico do ser humano. Diversas ciências sociais, como a filosofia e a sociologia, discutem a intensidade desses movimentos de expressão, mas é a psicanálise que teorizará a investigação do inconsciente na construção da identidade do ser humano e de suas concepções diárias. Neste ensaio de pesquisa, a intenção está em demonstrar quão intensas as teorias de Jacques Lacan estão no cotidiano do ser humano, através das mensagens emitidas pelas artes em geral e pela moda, auxiliando na construção deste ser semiótico extremamente complexo, mas infinitamente interessante.

A sociedade de hiperconsumo e as marcas de moda
Authors: Ceccato Patricia , Salomão Luiz , Gomez Ribas
Published: March 2023

A sociedade de hiperconsumo atual, conforme descreve Gilles Lipovetsky, caracteriza-se pela busca da felicidade, o que, inclusive, justifica o consumo de objetos. Para tanto, os produtos e serviços à venda impregnam-se de sensações e mensagens para estimular sentimentos de felicidade. É o que fazem as marcas: impregnam as ofertas de alma, personalidade e apelo sensorial. Este trabalho descreve a sociedade de hiperconsumo e relaciona-a com as marcas de moda, que, por valorizarem a efemeridade e o seu tempo, estimulam o consumo vendendo, mais do que produtos,: mudança, novidade e felicidade. O método de pesquisa empregado para tal foi a investigação bibliográfica, que abrange as áreas de filosofia – esta que trata da sociedade de consumo –, moda e gestão de marcas. O intuito deste trabalho é desempenhar uma reflexão bibliográfica sobre a sociedade de (hiper) consumo atual sob o viés das marcas.

Published: March 2023

O presente artigo propõe uma análise do desfile de moda, à luz dos estudos da cena, buscando referências na teoria da moda e do espetáculo. A partir de revisão bibliográfica e observação de desfiles durante a 18ª edição do São Paulo Fashion Week, ocorrida em janeiro de 2010, foram eleitos os seguintes elementos para apreciação do desfile enquanto espetáculo: espaço cênico, sons, produção das manequins e movimentos na passarela. Assumindo enquanto espetacular tudo que expõe-se ao olhar, concluiu-se que o desfile de moda é, desde o princípio, um espetáculo, podendo, assim, ser apreciado como tal.
Uma ferramenta para apoiar o desenvolvimento de uniformes profissionais
Authors: Holanda Maciel Dulce Maria
Published: March 2023

Estabelecer quais são os critérios para a confecção de uniformes profissionais requer bem mais que a escolha de códigos estéticos. É necessário desenvolver abordagens mais técnicas e inovadoras. Uma das principais informações diz respeito à análise do ambiente de trabalho, visto que cada profissão é realizada em determinado espaço físico e desta forma há riscos inerentes aquele espaço. Ao se procurar compreender as interligações dos riscos ambientais e projeto de vestuário, fica claro que é necessário um conhecimento prévio do processo de confecção de uniformes como materiais, modelagens e aviamentos em geral. Esta integração é chave para a ampliação do pensamento, da reflexão, e finalmente para a execução de um uniforme profissional como um equipamento de proteção. Este estudo demonstra de forma concisa uma ferramenta para identificar os riscos ambientais presentes em um ambiente de trabalho.

Desinformación y guerra. Verificación de las imágenes falsas sobre el conflicto ruso-ucraniano
Authors: García-Marín David , Salvat-Martinrey Guiomar
Published: March 2023

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo caracterizar la desinformación visual producida en el marco de la guerra ruso-ucraniana, analizar su alcance internacional, conocer la reacción del periodismo de verificación y comparar las estrategias desinformativas de ambos bandos. Se realizó un estudio cuantiativo estadístico descriptivo e inferencial de todo el contenido fake visual verificado por los fact-checkers entre enero y abril de 2022. Los resultados confirman el predominio de la estrategia del falso contexto, la centralidad de Facebook y Twitter en la distribución de información falsa y una mayor presión desinformativa durante las dos semanas posteriores a la invasión. Dominan la escena las narrativas consistentes en falsas decisiones y ataques militares que pretenden imputar al bando contrario la comisión de atrocidades y crímenes de guerra. La desinformación visual prorrusa hace mayor uso del contenido inventado. Si la concentración de los mensajes en pocas plataformas es la lógica que caracteriza al bando ucranio, desde el lado ruso se observa una estrategia más expansiva al utilizar mayor variedad de medios para distribuir sus narrativas. Los relatos sobre falsos ataques son más frecuentes desde Ucrania, mientras que las noticias falsas sobre la reacción de la comunidad internacional ante el ataque ruso son más prevalentes en la desinformación favorable a Moscú. Se corrobora también que conforme avanza la contienda, el contenido fake del lado ucraniano es menos frecuente, a la vez que la desinformación rusa aumenta su proporción.

Published: March 2023

Background. The clinical significance of low antituberculosis (anti-TB) drug concentrations has not been fully elucidated.Objectives. To investigate the clinical consequences of first-line drug concentrations in adult patients with drug-susceptible pulmonary TBin South Africa (SA).Method. We conducted a pharmacokinetic study nested within the control arm of the Improving Treatment Success (IMPRESS) trial(NCT 02114684) in Durban, SA. During the first 2 months of treatment, participants received weight-based dosing of first-line anti-TBdrugs (rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol), and had plasma drug concentrations measured at 2 and 6 hours after drugadministration during the 8th week of treatment. Intermediate (8 weeks), end-of-treatment (6 months) and follow-up TB outcomes wereassessed using World Health Organization criteria.Results. We measured plasma drug concentrations on available samples in 43 participants. Peak drug concentrations were below thetherapeutic range in 39/43 (90.7%) for rifampicin, 32/43 (74.4%) for isoniazid, 27/42 (64.3%) for pyrazinamide and 5/41 (12.2%) forethambutol. At the end of the intensive phase of treatment (week 8), 20.9% (n=9/43) of participants remained culture positive. We did notfind a relationship between the concentrations of first-line drugs and treatment outcomes at week 8. All participants were cured at the endof treatment, and there were no relapses during the 12-month follow-up period.Conclusion. Treatment outcomes were favourable despite low drug concentrations as defined by current reference thresholds.
Acute kidney injury after major non-cardiac surgery: Incidence and risk factors

Published: March 2023

Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major post-surgical complication that contributes to morbidity and mortality. AKI is welldocumented after cardiac surgery. However, less is known regarding the incidence and risk factors following major non-cardiac surgery.Globally the incidence of AKI post major surgery has been evaluated; however, there are no data available for South Africa (SA).Objectives. To ascertain the incidence of AKI after major non-cardiac surgery at a tertiary academic SA hospital. Secondary outcomes wereto identify perioperative risk factors that are associated with an elevated risk to develop AKI in the postoperative period.Methods. The study was conducted at Tygerberg Hospital, a single tertiary centre in Cape Town, SA. Perioperative records of adults whounderwent major non-cardiac surgery were retrospectively collected. Variables pertaining to potential risk factors for AKI were captured,and serum creatinine levels were recorded up to 7 days postoperatively and compared with baseline measurements to determine whetherAKI had developed. Descriptive statistics along with logistic regression analysis were used to interpret results.Results. The overall incidence of AKI was 11.2% (95% confidence interval (CI) 9.8 - 12.6). Based on surgical discipline, trauma surgery(19%), followed by abdominal (18.5%) and vascular surgery (17%) had the highest incidence. Independent AKI risk factors wereidentified after multivariate analysis. These were: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (odds ratio (OR) 2.19; 95% CI 1.09 - 4.37;p=0.005), trauma surgery (OR 3.00; 95% CI 1.59 - 5.64; p=0.001), abdominal surgery (OR 2.14; 95% CI 1.33 - 3.45; p=0.002), vascularsurgery (OR 2.42; 95% CI 1.31 - 4.45; p=0.004), urology procedures (OR 2.45; 95% CI 1.31 - 4.45; p=0.005), red blood cell transfusion(OR 1.81; 95% CI 1.21 - 2.70; p=0.004), emergency surgery (OR 1.74; 95% CI 1.15 - 2.65; p=0.009) and inotrope use (OR 2.77; 95% CI1.80 - 4.26; p<0.001).Conclusion. The results of our study are in keeping with international literature regarding the incidence of AKI after major non-cardiacsurgery. The risk factor profile, however, is in several regards different from what has been found elsewhere

Computational Formalism
Authors: Wasielewski Amanda
Published: March 2023

How the use of machine learning to analyze art images has revived formalism in art history, presenting a golden opportunity for art historians and computer scientists to learn from one another.

Though formalism is an essential tool for art historians, much recent art history has focused on the social and political aspects of art. But now art historians are adopting machine learning methods to develop new ways to analyze the purely visual in datasets of art images. Amanda Wasielewski uses the term “computational formalism” todescribe this use of machine learning and computer vision technique in art historical research. At the same time that art historians are analyzing art images in new ways, computer scientists are using art images for experiments in machine learning and computer vision. Their research, says Wasielewski, would be greatly enriched by the inclusion of humanistic issues.

The main purpose in applying computational techniques such as machine learning to art datasets is to automate the process of categorization using metrics such as style, a historically fraught concept in art history. After examining a fifteen-year trajectory in image categorization and art dataset creation in the fields of machine learning and computer vision, Wasielewski considers deep learning techniques that both create and detect forgeries and fakes in art. She investigates examples of art historical analysis in the fields of computer and information sciences, placing this research in the context of art historiography. She also raises questions as which artworks are chosen for digitization, and of those artworks that are born digital, which works gain acceptance into the canon of high art.
Undue Hate
Authors: Stone Daniel F.
Published: March 2023

How to understand the mistakes we make about those on the other side of the political spectrum—and how they drive the affective polarization that is tearing us apart.

It's well known that the political divide in the United States—particularly between Democrats and Republicans—has grown to alarming levels in recent decades. Affective polarization—emotional polarization, or the hostility between the parties—has reached an unprecedented fever pitch. In Undue Hate, Daniel F. Stone tackles the biases undergirding affective polarization head-on. Stone explains why we often develop objectively false, and overly negative, beliefs about the other side—causing us to dislike them more than we should. Approaching affective polarization through the lens of behavioral economics, Undue Hate is unique in its use of simple mathematical concepts and models to illustrate how we misjudge those we disagree with, for both political and nonpolitical issues. Stone argues that while our biases may vary, just about all of us unwisely exacerbate conflict at times—managing to make ourselves worse off in the long run. Finally, the book offers both short- and long-term solutions for tempering our bias and limiting its negative consequences—and, just maybe, finding a way back to understanding one another before it is too late.
Parody in the Age of Remix
Authors: Brøvig Ragnhild
Published: March 2023

The art of mashup music, its roots in parody, and its social and legal implications.

Parody needn't recognize copyright—but does an algorithm recognize parody? The ever-increasing popularity of remix culture and mashup music, where parody is invariably at play, presents a conundrum for internet platforms, with their extensive automatic, algorithmic policing of content. Taking a wide-ranging look at mashup music—the creative and technical considerations that go into making it; the experience of play, humor, enlightenment, and beauty it affords; and the social and legal issues it presents—Parody in the Age of Remix offers a pointed critique of how society balances the act of regulating art with the act of preserving it.

In several jurisdictions, national and international, parody is exempted from copyright laws. Ragnhild Brøvig contends that mashups should be understood as a form of parody, and thus be protected from removal from hosting platforms. Nonetheless, current copyright-related content-moderation regimes, relying on algorithmic detection and automated decision making, frequently eliminate what might otherwise be deemed gray-area content—to the detriment of human listeners and, especially, artists. Given the inaccuracy of takedowns, Parody in the Age of Remix makes a persuasive argument in favor of greater protection for remix creativity in the future—but it also suggests that the content-moderation challenges facing mashup producers and other remixers are symptomatic of larger societal issues.
Data Paradoxes
Authors: Hoeyer Klaus
Published: March 2023

Why healthcare cannot—and should not—become data-driven, despite the many promises of intensified data sourcing.

In contemporary healthcare, everybody seems to want more data, of higher quality, on more people, and to use this data for a wider range of purposes. In theory, such pervasive data collection should lead to a healthcare system in which data can quickly, efficiently, and unambiguously be interpreted and provide better care for patients, more efficient administration, enhanced options for research, and accelerated economic growth. In practice, however, data are difficult to interpret and the many purposes often undermine one another. In this book, anthropologist and STS scholar Klaus Hoeyer offers an in-depth look at the paradoxes surrounding healthcare data.

Focusing on Denmark, a world leader in healthcare data infrastructures, Hoeyer shares the perspectives of different stakeholders, from epidemiologists to hospital managers, from patients to physicians, analyzing the social dynamics set in motion by data intensification and calling special attention to that which cannot be easily coded in a database. He illustrates how data can be at once helpful, overwhelming, and sometimes disastrous through concrete examples. The COVID-19 pandemic serves as a special closing case study that shows how these data paradoxes carry weighty political implications. By revealing the diverse and sometimes contradictory practices spawned by intensified data sourcing, Data Paradoxes raises vital questions about how we might better use healthcare data.

During early vertebrate development, signals from a special region of the embryo, the organizer, can redirect the fate of non-neural ectoderm cells to form a complete, patterned nervous system. This is called neural induction and has generally been imagined as a single signalling event, causing a switch of fate. Here, we undertake a comprehensive analysis, in very fine time course, of the events following exposure of competent ectoderm of the chick to the organizer (the tip of the primitive streak, Hensen’s node). Using transcriptomics and epigenomics we generate a gene regulatory network comprising 175 transcriptional regulators and 5614 predicted interactions between them, with fine temporal dynamics from initial exposure to the signals to expression of mature neural plate markers. Using in situ hybridization, single-cell RNA-sequencing, and reporter assays, we show that the gene regulatory hierarchy of responses to a grafted organizer closely resembles the events of normal neural plate development. The study is accompanied by an extensive resource, including information about conservation of the predicted enhancers in other vertebrates.

Imaging endogenous mRNAs in live animals is technically challenging. Here, we describe an MS2-based signal amplification with the Suntag system that enables live-cell RNA imaging of high temporal resolution and with 8xMS2 stem-loops, which overcomes the obstacle of inserting a 1300 nt 24xMS2 into the genome for the imaging of endogenous mRNAs. Using this tool, we were able to image the activation of gene expression and the dynamics of endogenous mRNAs in the epidermis of live C. elegans.

Type 4 Secretion Systems are a main driver for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors in bacteria. In Gram-positives, these secretion systems often rely on surface adhesins to enhance cellular aggregation and mating-pair formation. One of the best studied adhesins is PrgB from the conjugative plasmid pCF10 of Enterococcus faecalis, which has been shown to play major roles in conjugation, biofilm formation, and importantly also in bacterial virulence. Since prgB orthologs exist on a large number of conjugative plasmids in various different species, this makes PrgB a model protein for this widespread virulence factor. After characterizing the polymer adhesin domain of PrgB previously, we here report the structure for almost the entire remainder of PrgB, which reveals that PrgB contains four immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains. Based on this new insight, we re-evaluate previously studied variants and present new in vivo data where specific domains or conserved residues have been removed. For the first time, we can show a decoupling of cellular aggregation from biofilm formation and conjugation in prgB mutant phenotypes. Based on the presented data, we propose a new functional model to explain how PrgB mediates its different functions. We hypothesize that the Ig-like domains act as a rigid stalk that presents the polymer adhesin domain at the right distance from the cell wall.

Here we report structures for almost the entire PrgB, in the presence or absence of DNA, using a combination of X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. These reveal that PrgB undergoes a large conformational change upon DNA-binding and that it contains four immunoglobulin-like domains. We re-evaluate previously studied variants and present new
in vivo
data where specific domains or conserved residues have been mutated. For the first time we can show a decoupling of cellular aggregation from biofilm formation and conjugation in
prgB
mutant phenotypes. Based on the presented data, we propose a new functional model to explain how PrgB mediates its different functions. We hypothesize that the Ig-like domains act as a rigid stalk that both protect the previously studied polymer adhesin domain from proteolysis, as well as presenting it at the right distance from the cell wall.

Loss-of-function genetic tools are widely applied for validating therapeutic targets, but their utility remains limited by incomplete on- and uncontrolled off-target effects. We describe artificial RNA interference (ARTi) based on synthetic, ultra-potent, off-target-free shRNAs that enable efficient, inducible, and reversible suppression of any gene upon introduction of a synthetic target sequence into non-coding transcript regions. ARTi establishes a scalable loss-of-function tool with full control over on- and off-target effects.
Materiality, Nonlinearity, and Interpretive Openness in Contemporary Archaeogames
Authors: Caracciolo Marco
Published: March 2023

Drawing inspiration from discussions on the relationship between archaeology and video games (“archaeogaming”), this article argues that contemporary games address three central concepts of archaeological theory: the uncertain materiality of archaeological finds, the way in which caring for artifacts complicates a linear or chronological understanding of history, and the open-ended quality of archaeological interpretation. The “archaeogames” I examine—which include Heaven’s Vault (Inkle, 2019), Outer Wilds (Mobius Digital, 2019), The Forgotten City (Modern Storyteller, 2021), and Elden Ring (FromSoftware, 2022)—capture these concepts by implementing a variety of gameplay and narrative mechanics. In addition to embedding archaeological objects at the level of representation, these games turn archaeological theory into a gameplay practice—a process potentially leading to the emergence of collaborative and creative storytelling within what I call archaeological fandom.
Militant Design Research: A Proposal to Politicize Design Knowledge-making
Authors:   Design and Oppression Network, Serpa Bibiana
Published: March 2023

This work reflects on how design can engage in emancipatory processes of knowledge-making through Militant Design Research. The argument draws on the work of scholars who are engaged in counter-hegemonic design research and practice, and questions the knowledge production structures within academia. ‘Militant research’ is presented as a Latin American theoretical-political approach to knowledge production in social sciences, engaging processes of research, educational, and political actions, and uniting organic intellectuals, researchers, and social movements. Inspired by this perspective, principles for Militant Design Research are outlined to stimulate alliances between designers and social movements for the collective production of knowledge, to overcome situations of oppression in and out of academia.

Biggest discovery in the history of humanity was agriculture for basic livelihood of people to sustain this biggest development the quality supply of agricultural inputs to the farming community is essential because agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for about 58% of India’s population. Gross Value Added by agriculture, forestry, and fishing was estimated at Rs. 19.48 lakh crore (US$ 276.37 billion) in FY20. Share of agriculture and allied sectors in gross value added (GVA) of India at current prices stood at 20.2 % in FY20. (Source: National Statistical Office (NSO). Seeds are critical to successful crop production and inevitably, farm productivity and profitability. Fertilizer supplies nutrients to the soil that are essential for growth. Crop protection chemicals control weed species, harmful insects and plant diseases that affect crops. Technical knowledge and Machinery enhance human labor effectiveness and increase farm productivity. Farm information helps the farmer to identify efficiencies that lead to higher productivity and profitability through achieving cost minimization and profit maximization. The study was carried out in the districts of Nagarkurnool and Wanaparthy of Telangana. A total of 60 input dealers were selected from the two districts based on Simple random sampling method. majority of the input dealers deal with medium range of agricultural inputs (55.00 per cent) Input dealers are dealing with combination of agricultural inputs and also various groups of plant protection chemicals based on their chemical classification are noticed to be sold by the input dealers during the study.

The purpose of the present study was to ascertain the relationship between characteristics of paddy growers and awareness of indigenous technological knowledge (ITKs) in the Bastar area of Chhattisgarh State. Twelve villages were chosen as the study area from two blocks (Tokapal and Lohandiguda) in the Bastar district. From each selected village, ten paddy growers were selected by a simple random sampling procedure, thus the sample size for the study was 120. The data were collected through well structured and pre-tested interview schedule. The study confirms that nearly half (46.66%) of the paddy growers had high level of awareness about indigenous technical knowledge. Regarding association, education, size of landholding, annual income, social participation, innovativeness, information-seeking behavior and mass media exposure were significantly associated with awareness of indigenous technological knowledge at 0.05 level of probability, whereas socio-economic status, extension participation and attitude towards ITK’s were significantly associated at 0.01 level of probability with awareness of ITKs.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a systemic metabolic disorder that can lead to diabetic nephropathy (DN), a leading cause of end-stage renal disease around the world.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare microalbuminuria and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes mellitus to healthy normal controls in Shendi, Sudan.

Materials and Methods: This hospital-based case-control study was carried out in Shendi, Sudan. Between June and October of 2021 This study included 50 participants, 30 of whom had clinically confirmed diabetes as cases and 20 who appeared to be healthy as controls. In this study, blood and random urine samples were collected from each case and control, and the levels of microalbuminuria and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) were estimated using an A25 chemistry analyzer and an Ichroma immuno-analyzer, respectively. The data was collected with a structured questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS version 20.

Results: In our study, patients had higher mean microalbuminuria than controls (26.438.2 vs 11.4 9.2 mg/l, P value = 0.000). This study found a significant increase in mean hemoglobin A1C levels in the case group compared to the control group (7.382.2 vs5.7 0.76% P value = 0.001). Our findings also revealed that there was no relationship between microalbuminuria and disease duration.

Conclusions: Microalbuminuria levels were higher when compared to controls. In comparison to the control group, HbA1c levels were higher. Microalbuminuria and patient age had a weak positive correlation in our study group.
