Published: July 2023

Objective: To find out the prevalence of convergence insufficiency (CI) in patients suffering from headache. Study Design: Cross Sectional, Observational study. Setting: Departments of Eye, The Children’s Hospitals and The Institute of Child Health, Multan and Govt. Shahbaz Sharif Hospital, Multan. Period: August 2020 to January 2021. Material & Methods: A total of 95 patients between the ages of 08-62 years with a complaint of headache were examined. Both male and female patients having complaint of headache, patients more than 07 years of age and patients with complaint of discomfort and blur vision at near after focusing for few minutes were included. While uncooperative patients, patients less than 07 year of age and patients having systemic and neurological diseases that can cause headache were excluded. Patient's visual acuity (VA) was recorded with Snellen’s chart and refraction was done with retinoscopy/ auto refractometer. Fundoscopy was carried out to find out any pathology i.e., papilledema. Convergence was checked by pencil push-up test and amplitude of accommodation was measured using RAF rule. Descriptive statistics including frequencies and percentages were extracted for categorical variables and mean ± standard deviation (SD) for quantitative variables. Results: In this study, we recruited 95 patients with a complaint of headache between the ages of 08-62 years and mean age was 27.80 years. 68 (71.60 %) were female and 27 (28.40 %) were male. These patients were examined to determine the prevalence of convergence inefficiency in patients suffering from a headache. Out of these 95 patients having headache 27 (28.4%) had poor convergence, 42 (44.2%) had weak convergence and 26 (27.4%) had normal convergence. This study suggested that 69 (72.6%) patients with headache had varying degree of CI. Conclusion: Our study suggested that headache is more common in females than males and CI is the most common cause of headache among these patients. These patients should be assessed and treated to relieve their symptoms and enable them to spend a better quality of life. We recommend ophthalmologists and optometrists to measure CI as a part of their routine ophthalmic examination.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of employing Foley’s catheter and modified thermal balloon ablation to treat heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). Study Design: Prospective Interventional Randomized Control study. Setting: Departments of Gynecological of Three Semi Government Hospitals of the City. Period: January 2021 to September 2022. Material & Methods: In the study, 12 patients between the ages of 42 and 50 who complained of menorrhagia and who had not responded to treatment for at least 6 months were recruited. Pre-ablation endometrial curettage was performed on each patient. A 30-50 ml latex covered Foley’s Catheter was evaluated after being introduced into uterine cavity, inflated as much as the cavity would allow under moderate pressure, and changed every two minutes with fresh boiling saline for eight minutes. Following that, hysteroscopic examination and a 6-month follow-up were performed to look for endometrial scarring. Results: Significantly shorter hospital stays, shorter recovery times following surgery, and quicker return to normal daily and sexual activities. Regarding problems, menstrual alterations, amenorrhea rate, and failure rate during the course of follow-up, there was no discernible difference between patients. This method has a success rate of almost 88%. Conclusion: In situations with limited resources, improved thermal balloon ablation with a Foley’s catheter can be a potential treatment for HMB. It is a more affordable option that the preliminary endometrial ablation approaches.

Authors: Syafuddin Khairul , Jamalullail  , Nuruzzaman Mohammad
Published: July 2023

The case of covering the Virgin Mary statue using a tarpaulin is one of the viral cases related to religious issues. The case involved an Islamic mass organization in Kulon Progo Yogyakarta and the owner of the Sasana Adhi Rasa prayer house, ST Yacobus. Some of the posts about the case use the hashtag #patungbundamaria. Hashtags, which intended originally to promote sculpture products, suddenly used to increase the reach of spreading issues. This is as an effort to carry out propaganda that has the potential to bring up a discourse of intolerance. This study aims to determine the form of multimodal discourse from the case of the closing of the Bunda Maria statue in Kulon Progo, as well as the propaganda formed. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a constructivist paradigm. The analysis technique is through multimodal discourse analysis. Researchers look at the use of multimodal text to build propaganda messages with the addition of hashtag modes. The results of this study indicate that the emergence of the issue of the Virgin Mary statue by using hashtags begins in the form of gray propaganda. This is because the data to raise this issue is still not valid due to pursuing posting speed. However, from the process of developing issues on social media, the message shift to white propaganda. In addition, netizens on Instagram have a concern in rejecting intolerance. They seek to suppress the emergence of intolerant discourse by providing comments that encourage tolerance between religious communities.

Published: July 2023

The realization of national food security is expected to be built on regional food security. Local governments are obliged to build their own regional food security, and contribute to national security. This is in line with the mandate of Law No. 23/2014 on Regional Government, which states that food is a mandatory matter for the central and regional governments. In relation to this background, this study aims to determine the availability and affordability of food in the East Priangan region, as one of the food production centers of West Java Province. The research method used is mixed method research with the dominance of quantitative design. Based on the results of the analysis, the research can be concluded that the food security conditions of regencies and municipalities in the East Priangan region are categorized as strong. However, based on the results of the comparative analysis among the regencies and cities, it shows a quite unique condition. The condition of the level of food availability (independent) is inversely proportional to the condition of the level of affordability. Regencies and municipalities that have a high marketable surplus of food tend to have a relatively low level of affordability. Conversely, regencies and municipalities with high food affordability have low marketable surplus.

Authors: Santos França Ângela , D. Guimarães Joana , Escobar Dantas Marta , A. Duarte Raquel , Carvalhais Fernanda
Published: July 2023

INTRODUÇÃO: A gravidez representa um período de maior necessidade de hormonas tiroideias. A avaliação da função tiroideia está indicada na pré-conceção/gravidez, nomeadamente se houver patologia prévia da tiroide ou residência em local com défice de iodo. Na ausência de patologia tiroideia e havendo um valor normal de hormona tiroestimulante (TSH), é seguro iniciar suplementação com iodo. Além disso, esta avaliação permite detec?a? o precoce de disfunção tiroideia, minimizando o risco clínico na gravidez. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a atuação nos cuidados primários, relativa a? avaliação da função tiroideia, à suplementação com iodo e abordagem de patologia da tiroide na gravidez.MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Estudo analítico, observacional e transversal. A amostra é constituída por grávidas seguidas em consulta de saúde materna em quatro Unidades de Saúde Familiar, cujos filhos nasceram entre fevereiro/2019 e janeiro/2020.RESULTADOS: Das 264 grávidas incluídas, verificamos que 34,8% realizou consulta pré-concecional. Na amostra estudada, 90,9% das gestantes não apresentavam antecedentes de patologia tiroideia, tendo sido doseada a TSH em 49,6% e instituída suplementação com iodo em 89,2%. Foram diagnosticados três hipotiroidismos e um hipertiroidismo. As grávidas com patologia prévia foram referenciadas à consulta hospitalar, à exceção de uma mulher com bócio.CONCLUSÃO: A avaliação da disfunção tiroideia deve ser sistematizada na prática clínica pelas particularidades na sua abordagem, nomeadamente na suplementação de iodo e na referenciação hospitalar. A consulta de pré-conceção é essencial nos casos de patologia prévia. Seria desejável uma norma atualizada e que uniformizasse procedimentos nesta área.

Published: July 2023

Maxillofacial trauma can occur with high frequency while playing sports. Skeletal and soft tissue lesions can occur, with different degrees of severity and impact for the athlete.Sports-related facial fractures most frequently affect the nose, zygoma and mandible, regardless of the country and sport. During initial evaluation it is important to distinguish between stable injuries that can be treated on the sidelines or after the match and emergencies requiring prompt hospital transfer.Athletes could benefit from a more personalized approach to treatment, aimed at optimizing the timeframe for return to play. There is a lack of evidence-based studies on return to play after facial trauma, and currently no specific guidelines exist. Return to sport depends on a variety of factors, such as type of fracture, the risk of impact within the sport, the player’s motivation for an early return and the surgeon’s knowledge and experience.

Published: July 2023

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital condition characterised by the absence of skin, with or without the absence of underlying structures. Can appear as an isolated lesion or associated with other congenital malformations. The approach can be conservative or surgical.We report a case of a full-term male newborn with two adjacent ulcerated lesions with well-demarcated limits in the upper occipital region (20 and 4-5 mm diameter). Other alterations that could be associated with aplasia cutis were identified at examination, so the patient was referred to several consultations, and other system involvement was excluded. Re-evaluation at the first month of life revealed complete healing and conservative treatment was kept.After identification of ACC should be excluded other associated congenital malformations. Particularly if large skin defects or bone involvement is detected (higher risk of complications and mortality).

Published: July 2023

INTRODUCTION: Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has caused a direct increase in mortality but not all of it is entirely attributable to COVID-19, meaning there was a higher rate of mortality in non-COVID-19 patients due to the pandemic. The aim of this study was to compare two groups of patients: group 1, which included all of the patients admitted to the Internal Medicine ward during the month of April in the year 2019 and group 2, composed of all of the patients admitted to the same ward in April 2020 (a non-COVID ward) and to identify factors which were closely related with worse renal function in two group of patients.METHODS: Retrospective observational study carried out through the analysis of digital data of all non-COVID-19 patients admitted at an Internal Medicine ward in April 2019 (group 1) and April 2020 (group 2).RESULTS: A total of 162 patients were included. Group 1 represented 63.6% of the patients and group 2 represented 36.4%. Although there was a significant difference (p<0.001) between baseline creatinine and that presented at admission for hospitalization in both groups, the difference was markedly greater in the second group when compared to the first group. The worsening of renal function, measured by the CKD-EPI formula, was associated with higher mortality, which was higher in the 2020 group.CONCLUSION: There was a sense of fear imposed by the pandemic, which delayed resorting to medical care. This increased the severity of medical conditions. In the post-pandemic aftermath, it is essential that General and Family Medicine coordinate effectively with different medical specialties to jointly improve the follow-up of our patients.

Descripción de una nueva especie para el género Macaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) y reporte de su planta hospedera en la Argentina
Authors: Figueredo Hernán Sebastian , Chalup Adriana , Fernández Díaz Cecilia
Published: July 2023

En Argentina la diversidad real de la familia Geometridae está muy subestimada como consecuencia de muestreos insuficientes y estudios fragmentados. Dentro de géneros muy diversos como Macaria (Curtis, 1832), que incluye alrededor de 330 especies y subespecies con patrones de coloración similares, subyace la existencia potencial de especies desconocidas. Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie para el género Macaria en Argentina, en base a ejemplares colectados en la ciudad de Garupá, Misiones. La morfología genital del macho y el patrón de coloración alar de Macaria garupa sp. nov. acercan a esta especie a Macaria rigidata Guenée, [1858], pero los caracteres diagnósticos de la nueva especie permiten separarlas fácilmente. Los estados inmaduros de M. garupa están asociados a Duranta erecta L (1758) (Verbenaceae). La importancia de este trabajo radica en la descripción de una nueva especie perteneciente a un género poco estudiado en la región, caracterización de su historia natural y determinación de su nivel de sinantropía.

Published: July 2023

The community's obstacle in fulfilling basic commodities is price fluctuations. Price fluctuations are influenced by supply and demand. Price fluctuation is frequently related to basic food needs of agricultural products since it is sensitive to climate change. Staple food which often experiences fluctuations is red chili, shallot and chicken egg. The pandemic period impacted and obstructed the community activities, including trading activities, especially the main staple producing areas of Malang, Blitar and Nganjuk regencies which are producing areas for red chili, shallot and chicken egg in East Java. The staple prices fluctuated before and during the pandemic. This study aims to analyze the level of price fluctuations of red chili, shallot and chicken egg before and during the pandemic with descriptive statistics and coefficients of variation. Factors causing price fluctuations were carried out by interviewing Industry and Trade Department and traders. The results showed that that red chili encountered high fluctuations before and during the pandemic (CV > 9%). The shallot commodity experienced high fluctuations before the pandemic in Blitar Regency while during the pandemic in Nganjuk Regency. Chicken eggs both before and during the pandemic was stable (CV < 9%). The price fluctuation factor before the pandemic tended to be influenced by the amount of supply (supply) while during the pandemic it was influenced by purchasing power loss (demand). During the pandemic, the agricultural sector became a safety sector in the covid-19 pandemic because food was a priority need, so production activities had to continue.
PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN PETANI DALAM SISTEM PENJUALAN TANAMAN JAGUNG DI KECAMATAN PAKONG, PAMEKASAN

Published: July 2023

Some farmers in the Pamekasan area sell corn plants with a slashing system where the corn plants are sold only in the form of trees or leaves as animal feed. The advantage is that the harvest is faster and reduces the use of costs. Some farmers still cultivate corn until it is harvested to sell the corn as food. The advantage is that it has a longer shelf life. The difference in farmers' decisions in carrying out the corn sales system is influenced by the characteristics of farmers and external influences. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence farmers' decisions in conducting a corn crop selling system. The analysis used is agricultural and logit analysis. From the results of the study, it was found that the factors that had a significant effect on farmers' decisions in carrying out a corn sales system with a slashing system (tree selling) were the planting period and consumer guarantees with an error rate of 10% and farming costs with an error rate of 15%. Farmers in farming prefer the slashing system because the planting period is shorter, thereby reducing the costs incurred, especially maintenance costs and labor at harvest. There is a guarantee of consumers (buyers) especially in the dry season because the leaves are used for livestock slaughter.

The insect egg parasitoid is a potential agent of biological control for pest, especially concerning the development of technology alternative pest control. The existing species of egg parasitoids in rice agroecosystems needs is known for their use as pest control an effective and efficient. The research aimed to determine of diversity, dominance, and parasitization levels for species of egg parasitoids in rice agroecosystems based on plant growth. The location research and sampling of parasitoids were done in Matangkuli and Syamtalira Aron sub-districts, North Aceh district, and Kuta Malaka sub-districts, Aceh Besar district, Province Aceh. The sampling was done in the vegetative stage from 20 to 40 and generative from 70 to 90 days after planting (DAT). Groups of eggs collected from the sampling location were then observed and identified at the Laboratory of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Malikussaleh University, Aceh. The results showed that egg parasitoids found in the rice agroecosystem form Order Hymenoptera, superfamily Chalcidoidea, species Ooencyrtus malayensis (Encyrtidae) and Tetrastichus schoenobii (Eulophidae). Superfamily Platygasteroidae, species Telenomus triptus (Scelionidae) and Hadronotus leptocorisae (Scelionidae). The number of individuals and diversity of egg parasitoids were low in vegetative than generative. The evenness index in both growth stages belongs to high. Species of T. triptus and T. rowani were dominant egg parasitoids found in the rice agroecosystem in both growth stage. The level of parasitization to parasitoid T. triptus, T. rowani, and Te. schoenobii is generally known as > 50%, species O. malayensis and H. leptocorisae less than 50%

The production of kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.) with tissue culture is an alternative in kencur plant cultivation as a provider of seeds. In tissue culture, growth regulators can affect the formation of plant organs (organogenesis). The combination of growth regulators NAA and TDZ was used in this study to induce callus kencur organogenesis. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of giving NAA and TDZ on the organogenesis of kencur callus, as well as the optimal combination of the two in the organogenesis of kencur callus. The design used was factorial RAL with two factors: NAA (0; 0.5 and 1 ppm) and TDZ (0; 2 and 4 ppm). Observation variables included number of shoots, shoot length, number of leaves, leaf length, number of roots, root length, fresh weight, and the first time shoots appeared. The results showed that the single NAA treatment affected the number of shoots, number of leaves, number of roots, root length, and fresh weight. In comparison, the single TDZ treatment affected shoot length, leaf length, number of roots, root length, and fresh weight. The optimal treatment combination was 1 ppm NAA and 2 ppm TDZ (N1T2), which gave the highest number of shoots. Higher concentrations of cytokinins can stimulate shoot growth.

Communication skills are very important in learning to live in the 21st century, one of which is mathematical communication skills. Mathematical communication is one of the standard processes in learning mathematics. The purpose of this research is to analyze the mathematical communication skills after students receive realistic learning based on coastal potential. The research method was carried out using quasi-experimental research with pretest and posttest control groups. This research was conducted at three junior high schools in West Seram District with a sample of 120 student participants. The instrument developed was a matter of mathematical communication skills as much as 5 questions. Data analysis was carried out namely descriptive statistics, data requirements test including normality test and homogeneity test, then the hypothesis was tested with t-dependent and Wilcoxon tests. At this stage to obtain data on the results of tests of mathematical representation and communication abilities, scoring will be carried out on student's answers for each item. The findings show that there are differences in students' mathematical problem-solving and communication abilities taught by coastal and conventional RME-based learning. From the two learning models used it is proven that RME learning based on coastal potential is more influential and more effective than conventional learning on mathematical communication skills. There are differences in improving mathematical communication skills using the RME learning model based on coastal potential and conventional learning. Thus RME based on coastal potential is recommended for improving students' mathematical communication skills

The availability of potential fishery resources owned by the waters around Ambon Island has not been fully supported by the ability of human resources to manage them properly. The mastery of technology and management in the field of fisheries and marine owned by coastal communities in Ambon is still limited to be able to utilize the potential of fisheries and marine resources available. On the other hand, the availability of capital to stimulate economic activities in the fisheries and marine sector has also not been fully met. The mastery of knowledge and business skills of the people living on the coast of Ambon is still traditional and subsistence in nature, so efforts are still needed to increase the productivity of businesses owned by the community. From the description of the conditions in the Ambon area, the presence of partnerships initiated by the government or the private sector is urgent in the framework of empowering fishing communities in this region. This study aims to formulate an alternative framework of partnership institutions that are appropriate for the empowerment of capture fishermen in Ambon. The research method used case study method, data collection using focus group discussion method. Data analysis uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The output of this research is an alternative framework of capture fisheries partnership institutions where in building a partnership concept that can accommodate the aspirations of the community, it is necessary to study the potential of the community itself, both human capital, natural capital, and social capital, coupled with a proper understanding of the problems faced by the fishing community itself, so that the partnership that is built is right on target, which in turn can provide adequate results.
