Background: small dense Low Density Lipoprotein (sdLDL) was the most atherogenic lipoprotein. Its influenced by internal and external factors including food consumption. Indonesian people mostly take a diet of high carbohydrate (CH) and fried food that believed to correlate with higher sdLDL level and predisposed to Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). There were 2 types of CH based on the processing ways, refined and non-refined CH.Objectives: The study’s purpose was to prove the correlation between different types of CH and fat intake with the sdlDL level in CHD patients.Methods: cross sectional in CHD patients hospitalized at Dr Kariadi hospital. The sdLDL and others lipid profile examined. The type and amount of CH and fat intakes per-day were collect from an interview using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQFFQ) and food models. Pearson and Spearman test used for bivariate analysis. Confounding factors age, gender, physical activity, diabetes mellitus and smoking were analyzed. Variables with p<0,25 was included in multivariate analysis using linear regression test.Results: There were 30 samples with CHD came with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Mean of total CH intake per day was 267.75 gram. Mean of percentage of CH from total calories per day was 55.93%. This number was higher than advised which is 30-130 gram or <45% of total calorie per day. Mean of refined and non-refined CH intake was 161.80 and 57.81 gr/day. The total CH mostly from refined CH (76%) rather than non-refined. Mean of fat intake was 68 gr/day (32.76% of total energy per day), and the mean of sdLDL level was 26,54 mg/dl. Correlation between refined CH vs non-refined CH with the sdLDL levels (r=0.328; p=0.077 vs r=-0.184;p=0.331). Correlation between fat intake and sdLDL levels (r=0.44;p=0.15). Multivariate analysis was analyzing refined CH fat intake and age with sdLDL level (r=0,28;p=0,13 vs r=0.45;p=0.01 vs r=-0.15;p=0.44). There is significant correlation between fat intake and sdLDL levels with r=0.45Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between fat intake and sdLDL levels in CHD patients. There is no significant correlation between refined and non-refined carbohydrates with sdLDL levels in CHD patients.

ATAP HIJAU: SEBUAH KAJIAN ASIMILASI BUDAYA BERKEBUN DAN BERMUKIM PADA RUMAH TROPIS
Authors: Yuliani Sri
Published: December 2018

At present the portrait of land use in several cities is dominated by settlements or dwellings. Settlements in tropical climates have the potential to support the environment for thriving plants. Therefore, research that is oriented to optimizing the tropical climate in the settlement sector is very important because in the science of architecture designing buildings is very necessary to consider the harmony of buildings, climate and humans. The culture of Indonesian society from generation to generation is a tradition that needs to get space side by side with the fulfillment of residential needs. Gardening culture is an effort to meet food needs, while living culture is an effort to meet the needs of the board, so that both are primary human needs. The research objective is to study the prospect of the assimilation of the culture of gardening and living through quantitative and qualitative paradigms. The focus of the study determined the relationship between the two variables with statistical analysis through the correlation of people's appreciation of gardening activities with income level, in the statistical test analysis using the chi square method. The results of the quantitative analysis continued with efforts to find reasons for causal relationships through in-depth interviews. The results of the study concluded that there was a correlation between the appreciation of the community and the level of income in supporting the assimilation of the culture of gardening and living in tropical homes. The problem of limited land is the cause of the lack of assimilation of the culture of gardening and living in low-income communities.
FUNDAMENTALISME AGAMA : Telaah Artikel “Religious Fundamentalism” dalam Buku Introducing Anthropology of Religion; Culture of the Ultimate Karya Jack David Eller
Authors: Kholis Nur
Published: December 2018

The discussion in the article "Religious Fundamentalism" has a background in the development of the global cultural situation in the 20th and 21st centuries which shows an atmosphere of "tension" due to the encounter of religion with modern culture and secularity. Religion seemed to feel threatened by modernity so that it carried out self-defense and simultaneously resisted. As a result of being confined to tension that is actually "self-created", according to Eller, religious fundamentalism appears with a ferocious, vindictive and sometimes violent character. This kind of character is increasingly entrenched for those who have similar emotions, attitudes, and puritanical religious orientations. The main message Eller conveyed is that religious fundamentalism is not a single and stand-alone phenomenon, but is interrelated with other cultural factors with high complexity.

Published: December 2018

Introduction. Treatment of patients with spine disorders is a subject of interest to many medical disciplines. Most patients complaining of back pain are successfully cured with conservative methods, some require surgical procedures. In the entire therapy process, regardless of the method of treatment, patient education cannot be ignored.Aim. Evaluation of the implementation of the educational program conducted among patients treated surgically for diseases of the cervical spine.Material and Methods. The research was conducted among 156 patients on the Neurosurgery and Neurotraumatology Ward of The University Hospital No. 2 in Bydgoszcz, treated surgically for diseases of the cervical spine. The original educational program was carried out during the hospitalization of the patient in the ward. The program evaluations were planned through a preliminary and final verifying survey for each participant of the program. The collected material was subject to statistical analysis.Results. Women constituted a larger group — 102 respondents (64.6%). The average age of the respondents was — 54.2 years. Before the implementation of the program, 92 people (58.2%) said they had partial knowledge of cervical spine diseases, but 48 respondents (30.4%) said they knew very little and only 6 patients (3.8%) indicated that they knew a lot. After the education, the vast majority of respondents claimed that their knowledge about life with cervical spondylosis disorders had improved significantly — 149 people (94.3%).Conclusions. The respondents evaluated the program very well; almost all of them acknowledged that their state of knowledge about the life and prevention of spine diseases had definitely improved. There was a significant improvement of the respondents’ knowledge on the causes of back pain, mainly in people with primary education. (JNNN 2018;7(3):96–103)
Patients’ Fear and Anxiety Associated with Planned Neurosurgery
Authors: Królikowska Agnieszka , Majk Agnieszka , Antczak-Komoterska Anna , Ślusarz Robert
Published: December 2018

Introduction. Surgical treatment is a very difficult situation for the patient related to the state of feeling fear and anxiety. Anxiety in the pre-operative period may be associated with the course of the planned surgery, the risk of post-operative complications, or with histopathological diagnosis in the case of cancer.Aim. The aim of the study was to examine whether the patients awaiting neurosurgical surgery experience anxiety and fear associated with the treatment and how they assess the level of anxiety in themselves.Material and Methods. The study included 102 adult patients qualified for surgery at the Department of Neurosurgery of the 10th Military Clinical Hospital with the Polyclinic SP HCC in Bydgoszcz. The tests were carried out from 25/04/2017 until 30/06/2017 in the aforementioned Clinic, for which the consent of the Bioethical Commission at the L. Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz NCU in Torun (KB 341/2017) was obtained. The research method was a diagnostic survey, whereas the tool applied to assess patients was an original questionnaire containing a placard and basic questions related to the subject of the study.Results. Over half of the respondents were concerned about the planned treatment: 31.4% ticked “yes”, 21.6% “rather yes”. Nearly 65% of respondents did not have concerns about their health status: “rather not” 34.3%, “no” 30.4%. 66.7% of the respondents were accompanied by a sense of fear every day. When assessing pre-operative anxiety, over 50% of patients rated anxiety at level 1 to 3 on a 10-point scale. The dependence of anxiety perception according to age was demonstrated (p≤0.05). In addition, the level of perceived anxiety was higher in patients not burdened with other diseases (p≤0.05).Conclusions. Most neurosurgical patients experienced anxiety in the pre-operative period, more than half of the respondents assessed their anxiety at the low level. The age of patients has been a factor affecting the level of anxiety felt. Older patients were more anxious than younger patients. A higher level of anxious anxiety was demonstrated in patients not burdened with other diseases. (JNNN 2018;7(3):104–110)

Published: December 2018

Introduction. The Chiari type I Malformation is a malformation of the hindbrain and skull. It refers to moving down the tonsils of the cerebellum through a large opening to the upper part of the spinal canal.Case Report. The patient aged 27 was subjected to a peak-occipital decompression procedure in the course of the Chiari type I Malformation due to the results of imaging examinations and reported complaints.Discussion. The neurosurgical treatment for both the patient and his family is a source of stress and fear of further functioning in the environment. During hospitalization, the patient should be surrounded by the care and interest of the therapeutic team members.Conclusions. Symptoms of Chiari Malformation type I may affect patients of different ages despite the fact that it is an inborn defect. Nursing care of the patient after the peak-occipital decompression treatment in the course of the Chiari type I Malformation aims at preventing typical complications of the postoperative period and minimizing the risk of neurological deficits.

Introduction. At present, in Poland and other European countrieswe are witnessing an increase in the number of elderly people. Of particular importance is the psychophysical evaluation of the patient and defining the deficits in their everyday functioning.Aim. The aim of the study was to analyze selected demographic factors affecting biopsychosocial functioning of neurogeriatric patients.Material and Methods. The research was carried out in the Department of Geriatrics at University Hospital No. 1 in Bydgoszcz on a group of 122 patients aged from 60 to 95 years, hospitalized for diseases of the nervous system. The biopsychosocial assessment was performed with the use of the NOSGER scale (Nurses’ Observation Scale for Geriatric Patients) — the Nursing Care Scale of Geriatric Patients and the Barthel scale.Results. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the average assessment of the functioning of older people in the assessment of the NOSGER scale was 89.89 for 150 maximum points. As a result of the analysis, it was found that respondents aged up to 64 years functioned best in each aspect of the NOSGER scale, whereas respondents aged over 90 years functioned the worst, with the exception of moods and emotions subscales. In the age groups 65–74 and 75–89, functioning was similar in all subscales. The statistical analysis carried out showed that the respondents who were in the second group of fitness had significantly worse functioning in each subscale and the overall NOSGER assessment than those who were in the first fitness group (p<0.05).Conclusions. There were no statistically significant differences found between gender, age, marital status, education, and functional fitness of patients on the Barthel score. There was also no significant effect of gender, age and education on the NOSGER patients assessment. Significant influence of marital status on the assessment in the area of destructive and disruptive behaviors on the NOSGER scale was observed. (JNNN 2018;7(3):118–123)
Spaces generated by the cone of sublinear operators
Authors: Slimane A.
Published: December 2018

This paper deals with a study on classes of non linear operators. Let $SL(X,Y)$ be the set of all sublinear operators between two Riesz spaces $X$ and $Y$. It is a convex cone of the space $H(X,Y)$ of all positively homogeneous operators. In this paper we study some spaces generated by this cone, therefore we study several properties, which are well known in the theory of Riesz spaces, like order continuity, order boundedness etc. Finally, we try to generalise the concept of adjoint operator. First, by using the analytic form of Hahn-Banach theorem, we adapt the notion of adjoint operator to the category of positively homogeneous operators. Then we apply it to the class of operators generated by the sublinear operators.

Published: December 2018

Introduction: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is among the most prevalent complications of diabetes that can lead to impairment of mobility of diabetic patients. The purpose of the current study was to predict relative factors influencing the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy (PN) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: This was a cohort study on diabetic patients in the Isfahan Province of Iran. The studied population consisted of patients with type 2 diabetes, of ages 18 or older, who were diagnosed as new cases of diabetes from 2007 to 2014, and whose follow-up was completed by the end of 2016. In this study, with regards to the presence of time-varying co-variates, timedependent Cox regression model was employed in order to estimate the Hazard Ratio (HR) of PN in the diabetic patients.

Results: Overall, 1874 patients with diabetes participated in the study, of which 839 (44.77%) were men and 1035 (55.23%) were women. During the study period, PN occurred in 17.98% of the patients; the ratio was 17% in women and 19.18% in men. In comparison to the reference group, the adjusted HR of PN in males was equal to 3.66 (95% CI: 1.15-11.67), in housewives was equal to 4.09 (95% CI: 1.02-16.38), and divorced or wife died patients was equal to 3.02 (95% CI: 1.61-5.65). In addition, for each 6 month follow-up of the patients, the adjusted HR of PN increased to 1.19 (95% CI: 1.17-1.22).

Conclusions: The adjusted HR of PN in men, in housewives, and elderly people, divorced or wife died patients, with elementary education level were greater than the reference group. Thus, training, screening and diagnostic programs should be carried out with greater sensitivity in patients who are at greater risk for PN.
Review article

This review article discusses several books dealing with aspects of live music, notably festivals and arena concerts. It points out that, for the most part, two edited collections on festivals are purely celebratory and focus on audience experience rather than the character of performances. In contrast, two book-length studies of individual folk and rock festivals provide a more comprehensive account, including the extent of local opposition to the staging of the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Finally, the article finds much to commend in an edited volume on the arena concert.

Videogame music has crossed the boundaries of the digital realm and is now performed and remixed in online spaces and live venues. This is due to the interactive nature of gameplay, which promotes the appropriation, rework and remix of game music by gaming audiences. This relationship with music reinforces the engagement of gaming communities with the experiences they have collectively shared in the videogame space and translates it into a new one. In Australia, few bands dedicate themselves solely to the performance of videogame music, partly due to copyright restrictions and niche performance spaces and events, with some bands performing as a professional endeavour and others as a side project. This article focuses on the case studies of Australian videogame music cover bands Boss Fight and The Consouls, whilst analysing the spaces in which they perform, and how real-life performances influence the experiences of videogame communities.
Putting a premium on music
Authors: Schoop Monika
Published: December 2018

The twenty-first century has seen a revival of the vinyl record in many parts of the world. Based on ethnographic research, I investigate its so-far unexplored resurgence in Metro Manila, the capital region of the Philippines, contending that vinyl is charged with social meanings and that revivals reimagine the past for the present. I examine vinyl's manifold social meanings and the reasons for its newfound popularity through a multidimensional enquiry into vinyl's status as a 'premium product' in the Philippine context. First, I consider developments in the music industry and socio-economic factors playing into the value and status of vinyl. Second, I probe vinyl's symbolic potential as a marker of social class, cosmopolitanism and urban lifestyle. Third, drawing on notions of technostalgia and vinyl's multisensory affordances, I examine how vinyl's status as a premium product is established and reinforced by the lifestyle stores Satchmi and Heima, which market records and their associated appliances. Lastly, I show how vinyl's status is actively employed to promote local independent music and to counter its marginalization in the Philippine mediascape.
Star-spangled 'Shamisen'
Authors: Keogh Brent
Published: December 2018

A brief internet search of the phrase 'the Jimi Hendrix of...' followed by any instrument (for example, the bass guitar) reveals numerous examples of musicians promoting themselves, being marketed or being reviewed as the 'Jimi Hendrix' of that instrument. While some of the comparisons being made are arguably less tenuous-electric sitar, oud, mandolin-other instruments stretch the analogy. These include the 'Jimi Hendrix' of the bagpipe, clarinet, washboard, sampler and the jug. This phrase is not only applied to instrumentalists but sometimes takes on a national, racial or geographic dimension: such is the case with Mikhl Yosef Gusikow, described as the Jewish 'Jimi Hendrix', and Bombino, the 'Jimi Hendrix' of the Desert. This article critically examines the instances in which the phrase 'the Jimi Hendrix of the [insert instrument here]' is used to market and promote contemporary musicians. I explore some of the reasons why the rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix continues to be invoked as musicians position themselves in global markets, drawing attention to different aspects of the Jimi Hendrix myth that are appropriated by musicians and the various discourses around music practice. In order to do this, I employ Greenblatt's theory of social energy to critically frame such statements beyond the limits of political economy, as well as document contemporary cases of this phenomenon.

Self-Heating Analysis of 1570 nm InGaAsP Buried Tunnel Junction Photonic Crystal VCSEL
Authors: Sabaghi Masoud
Published: December 2018

In this paper, the lattice temperature in an InP-based 1570 nm InGaAsP buried tunnel junction photonic crystal vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (BTJ-PhC VCSEL) was varied between 280 K until 370 K and its effects on the characteristics of the device was investigated. The temperature profiles of the BTJ-PhC VCSEL are obtained iteratively by considering their temperature-dependent material properties and the spatial distribution of all the significant heat sources. The thermal resistance used to model the electrical contacts causes about 8 K temperature increment above the ambient temperature (300 k) at a bias of 3 V and a 10.865 % increase in the threshold current is observed with temperature increment. This paper provides key results of the device characteristics upon lattice temperature, including the light power versus electrical voltage, the threshold current versus temperature, the wall-plug efficiency and the differential quantum efficiency versus temperature. Furthermore, various elements of heat sources within the active region were analyzed upon the increment of lattice temperature.

Authors: Rykov M. Yu.
Published: December 2018

Background. Improving the quality of medical care is based on a coordinated policy at the federal, regional and municipal levels in the field of health. The implementation of this goal is based on a regular assessment of the current state of the healthcare system in the Russian Federation.

Objective. Our aim was to analyse of the main indicators characterizing medical care for children with cancer in the South Federal District.

Methods. The operative reports for 2017 of the executive authorities in the sphere of health protection of 8 subjects of the Russian Federation that are part of the South Federal District of the Russian Federation have been analyzed.

Results. The number of children were 3 216 797 people (aged 0–17 years), the number of children’s oncological beds is 272 (0.8 per 10 thousand children aged 0–17 years), the average number of days of berth employment in the year is 289.9 bed days. In 4 (50%) subjects of the department of pediatric oncology are absent, in 1 (12.5%) — there are no children’s oncological beds. The number of doctors providing medical care to children with cancer is 50, of them 42 (84%, 0.1 per 10 thousand children aged 0–17 years) have a certificate of a pediatric oncologist. In 2 (25%) subjects, there are no pediatric oncologists. Incidence of malignant tumors was 13.9 (per 100,000 children aged 0–17 years), prevalence was 86.5 (per 100,000 children aged 0–17 years), mortality was 2.5 (per 100,000 children aged 0–17 years), a one-year mortality rate of 4.7%. 8% of patients were actively detected. 104 (23.2%) of primary patients were sent to medical organizations of federal subordination, 4 (0.9%) of primary patients left the territory of the Russian Federation.

Conclusion. The analysis revealed a number of defects: incorrect information contained in the reports, low incidence (detectability) of patients, including during planned preventive examinations, staff shortages and non-rational use of bed facilities.

Published: December 2018

Background. Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) of the central nervous system (CNS) is an aggressive malignant tumor, mostly affecting children younger than 3 years old. AT/RT is characterized by the deletion and/or mutation of gene SMARCB1/INI1, located in the long arm 22q11, leading to a loss of the nuclear expression of protein INI1, which may be detected by immunohistochemical assay with the anti-INI1 antibody. These tumors are mostly located in the brain, and their incidence in the spinal cord is very rare, with just a few publications on their clinical observations.

Description of a Clinical Case. A clinical example of AT/RT in a two-year patient with the tumor located in the thoracic and lumbar spinal cord is described. The patient underwent surgical treatment consisting in the tumor resection and also chemoradiotherapy. Evaluation showed complete response. By the moment this paper was written, the duration of event-free survival of this patient was 27 months.

Conclusion. This paper reviews the earlier published cases of spinal cord AT/RT, in which the most common location of the tumor was the cervical portion of the spinal cord. The maximum overall survival was 18 months, and the average overall survival was 9 months. In our clinical example, we demonstrate a long-term complete response to the multimodal treatment for AT/RT.
