Authors: Wijaya Hendra , Permatasari Intan
Published: September 2024

This research reexamines the concept of nusyuz in the context of the social media era, highlighting how digitalization affects the dynamics of household relationships. Traditionally, nusyuz refers to the behavior of a wife who leaves the house without her husband's permission. However, in the digital era, this definition has expanded to include various forms of online behavior that challenge authority or norms within the household. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, this research explores how nusyuz behavior is expressed in online interactions and how this affects household stability. The research results show that intensive and uncontrolled use of social media can trigger conflict and disharmony, expanding the traditional boundaries of nusyuz into the digital realm. These findings urge the need for digital education and adaptive policies to address new challenges arising from digital interactions in husband and wife relationships. This research offers in-depth insight into the adaptation of social and cultural norms in the face of shifts in power and self-expression brought about by the digital era.

Authors: Isla Ruby , Kurniawan Asep , Amelia Lita
Published: September 2024

This research explores the implementation of iddah for husbands as part of Islamic family law reform to achieve gender equality in Indonesia. Qualitative research methods with a descriptive-analytical approach were used to examine this concept through literature studies and in-depth interviews with legal and psychology experts. The research results show that although the traditional concept of iddah does not regulate a waiting period for husbands, implementing iddah for husbands can provide emotional and psychological benefits, as well as help achieve equality of rights and obligations between husband and wife. Implementation of iddah for husbands also requires support through awareness campaigns, counseling services and a clear legal framework. Therefore, legal reform that includes iddah for husbands is proposed as an important step in creating justice and prosperity in Muslim families in Indonesia.

Authors: Maji E.A , Imolehin E. D
Published: September 2024

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the causal agent of bacterial leaf blight disease of rice is one of the most important disease of rice (Oryza sativa L.) worldwide due to its growing concern, wide spread and destructive nature and lack of understanding of its control. The present study was carried out for assessment of rice varieties against X. oryzae pv. oryzae and to determine the phenolic contents of the physiology and biochemistry of diseased plants. Out of the 40 varieties tested none of them showed significant resistant response against the virulence of pathogen; only six were found moderately resistant, eight were graded as moderately susceptible, while 19 showed susceptible and six as highly susceptible in response. Highly significant disease severity (68.08%) was recorded on CO 39, whereas minimum (11.92%) was calculated on FARO 63. All the basmati varieties were found to be susceptible to highly susceptible against the disease and showed disease severity within a range of (51.21 to 65.05%), while the KSK genotypes presented (32.62 to 45.68%) disease severity. The total phenolics concentration significantly varied in response to treatment and showed negative correlation with the resistance of the variety. The highest phenolics compounds (183.42 mg 100-1) were produced in FARO 63, while the phenolics of CO 39 were not in the range of gallic acid standard. It appeared that resistant varieties showed higher concentration of phenolics than the susceptible ones, which played important role in reducing the disease severity. Thus, the study suggests that the exploitation of secondary metabolites in breeding programs and integrated management strategies could open the avenues to avoid future disease epidemics.

A memória da ditadura militar e o cancional brasileiro: onde Racionais MC's reflete Caetano Veloso
Authors: Araújo de Godoy José Roberto , Ferreira de Oliveira Jaeder
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo insere-se nas áreas de teoria literária, literatura comparada e literatura testemunhal, e pretende investigar implicações político-ideológicas possíveis a partir de Narciso em Férias (1997), o relato de Caetano Veloso sobre sua prisão durante a ditadura militar brasileira. Para tanto, analisa-se a significação da figura de Caetano Veloso, como músico e performer, dentro do cancional brasileiro do século XX. Em seguida, compara-se sua obra com aquela do grupo de rap paulista Racionais MC's, especificamente da música Mil Faces de um Homem Leal (Marighella) (2012), analisada como parte da memória coletiva sobre o regime militar. Essa comparação permite que se perceba um posicionamento discursivo, por parte de Racionais MC's, que se aproxima mais do paradigma da marginalidade, conforme Rocha (2006).

Published: September 2024

Despite the existence of many studies on the analysis of grammatical errors in writing, little scholarly work reports the errors in academic articles, especially in medical journals. To fill this empirical gap, the present study investigates grammatical errors within written English abstracts of academic articles from a nursing journal in Indonesia. In particular, it attempts to classify the errors based on a surface strategy taxonomy proposed by Dulay et al. (1982), namely misformation, omission, addition, and misordering. The method used is content analysis. The results of this study indicate that errors were found from all four classification categories.  Further, we noted that the most commonly found errors were in the category of misformation followed by omission, addition, and misordering.  The findings of this research are expected to serve as a reference for future scholars when avoiding errors in writing English abstracts for academic articles.
Exploring EFL Classroom Interactions in An Online Setting: A Case Study in Indonesia
Authors: Abdusyukur Muhammad Rafi
Published: September 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the form of interaction in the EFL classroom in Indonesia. Consequently, it is vital for Indonesian EFL teachers to analyse the current form of interaction in online settings to ensure quality teaching and learning. Even though many studies have addressed the issue, this study offers an alternative analysis by adapting FIACS (Flanders Interaction Analysis Category System) as one of the most common tools for classroom interaction analysis. This case study aimed to explore EFL classroom interaction by using FIACS as the framework. The necessary data was collected through direct and indirect observation between an EFL teacher and his lower secondary students. Based on the analysis, it appeared that the online EFL classroom interaction was dominated by the teacher. One of the causes was the passiveness of the students due to the technological glitches. The pattern and characteristics of the interaction also changed. One of the most notable changes was the difficulty to observe and manage the interaction between students. These observed features of the EFL online classroom portrayed how the class is conducted as well as ideas for other EFL teachers and practitioners to prepare and organize it.

The ideal management of a hypertensive patient include not only the pharmacological treatment but
also a good compliance from the patient side. Some measures can be undertaken by the patient which
can help to control or even reverse hypertension. Measures like decreasing weight, minimal or no salt intake, low carbs intake,
physical exercise, etc. This article talks about a survey on patient compliance which was taken under Dr. Pravin Kahale in his
clinic at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital, Mumbai (India). To understand the psychology of hypertensive patient
regarding the disease of hypertension through a survey, a survey of 300 patient was done when they came to dr. Kahale's clinic
for check-up/follow-up. Some survey forms were lled by doing home visits too. The questions in the survey highlighted the
compliance of the patient towards the prescribed drugs. The questions are mentioned later in this article. There was a set of 17
questions which are discussed in the article along with their results But, vividly speaking hypertensive patients don't pay
necessary attention when it comes to compliance. The data exclaimed that only 50% subjects were successful to decrease their
body weight. Quite a good number of patients forget to take medicines on time. About one-third of our patients were frustrated to
take medicines regularly. This study has revealed that a good number of people having hypertension are not compliant to their
drug therapy. The article focuses on the importance of compliance in management of hypertension.

Background: Regional anaesthesia has many benets over general anaesthesia, including keeping the
patient conscious during surgery, improving haemodynamic stability, providing excellent postoperative
analgesia, and allowing for faster oral consumption after surgery. These benets accrue to the anaesthesiologist, surgeon, and
patient. While the axillary technique requires a separate block of the musculocutaneous nerve, a brachial plexus block at the
level of the clavicle may anaesthetise all four distal upper extremity nerve regions simultaneously. Aim And Objectives: The
aim of the research was to evaluate and compare the impact of supraclavicular and infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks in
terms of the duration of onset, performance, and success rate of the block. Materials And Methods: A total of Fifty patients who
were scheduled for below-elbow upper limb procedures were randomly assigned to two groups: (1) infraclavicular (Group IC)
and (2) supraclavicular (Group SC). Each subject was administered 30ml of 0.5% bupivacaine as the selected local
anaesthetic. Observations were made about the block performance time, the time it took for the beginning of sensory and motor
blockade, the overall length of the block, and the haemodynamic parameters. The major goals of the study were the
performance times of the block and the commencement of the sensory blockade. The secondary outcomes were the length of
the block and the haemodynamic parameters. Two two-tailed independent sample t-test was used to compare the variables.
Result: Mean Block Performance Time (mins) was 15.34 was longer in infraclavicular block than among Supraclavicular block
group (11.23). Mean Onset of sensory block (minutes) in Supraclavicular block group was 18.65 longer than in infraclavicular
block (13.98). there was a statistically signicant difference between two groups in regards to Block performance time and
onset and Duration of Sensory block. (p value <0.0001). Conclusion: The ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block is a
comparatively safer approach than the supraclavicular technique, and it has a speedier onset. Repeated exposure to the
procedure may decrease the time required to apply the infraclavicular block.

Objective: This research study examines the possibility of serum ferritin levels as a predictive factor in
cases of acute ischemic stroke. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analysis that involved 45
patients who were registered in the General Medicine Department of an outpatient facility located in a Tertiary Care Hospital in
Telangana. All individuals with a newly developed focal neurological disability caused by a stroke were included in the
research. The research included a total of 45 patients, with 15 individuals in each group categorized as mild, moderate, or
severe. The study evaluates the association between serum ferritin levels and other clinical characteristics, such as stroke
severity and consciousness state. Results: The severe group had the highest mean blood ferritin level, measuring 411.4 with a
standard deviation (SD) 55.4. An evident correlation was found between ferritin levels and the occurrence of unconsciousness. A
statistically signicant correlation was found between high levels of ferritin in the blood and severe stroke. Conclusions: Study
ndings indicate that serum ferritin may be a valuable prognostic indicator in cases of acute ischemic stroke, assisting in the
categorization of patient risk and enhancing clinical decision-making.

Uncontrolled growth of population is a potential threat for a developing country like ours; As it depletes
the resources which are very limited and it also has harmful impact on maternal health. Despite of this
fact, India is still above the replacement level, and the contraception prevalence rate for married females is 56%. The aim and
objective of this study is to assess the knowledge and practice of contraceptive use among females of rural background. It is a
cross sectional descriptive study which was conducted among 358 married females among age group of 18 to 49 yrs. residing in
Rural Field Practice Area (Hajipur, Katihar, Bihar), Katihar Medical College , Katihar between January 23rd ,2024 to March
23rd,2024 .After getting informed consent from the females a pretested and predesigned questionnaire was used to assess the
knowledge of females regarding contraception . The questionnaire also focused towards the practice of contraception being
adapted by them. Data was collected and analysed in Epi-info. Knowledge about contraceptive methods was studied among
358 married females residing in rural eld practice area. I found that majority of my study population i.e, 75% had knowledge
about contraception but the practice of contraception was less than 35%.

Aim and objective: - To determine the pattern of ocular injuries and identify the most common cause of
ocular injury attending tertiary eye care centre. Introduction: - Although the eyes make up only 0.1% of
the body's surface, they are crucial for vision, a key part of daily life. Ocular trauma, a leading cause of preventable blindness
and visual impairment, is under-recognized and lacks comprehensive population-based data, especially in developing
countries, despite its signicant socioeconomic impact. Materials And Methods: - A Hospital based cross sectional study
conducted on 240 patients, during a period of 6 months. This study was conducted based on the age, gender, visual acuity, time
of presentation, mode of ocular injury, type of ocular injury, subtypes and laterality. Results: - Of the total 240 patients, the age
group 21-30 years were the most affected with 64 cases (26.67%), the male gender made up the majority of cases with 178
numbers (74.1%), and the most common mode of injury was RTA with 116 (48.33%) of which lid laceration making up for 126
cases (52.50%). Conclusion: - RTA contributing to the majority of ocular injury cases in young adults is a matter of great concern,
it not only affects the vision, but also impacts overall productivity at work. Creating road and driving safety awareness to
youngsters must be made a priority by the administration.
