Introduction: Duodenaldiverticulumiscommon (6-20%). Thesemaybe a difficulty in cannulation of the common bile duct and are more frequentassociatedwithbiliary stones. Objectives: To calculate the prevalence of juxta-papillarydiverticulum in patients withbiliary stones and to evaluate the influence of juxtapillarydiverticulum on the success rate of the cannulation of the CBD in biliary stones pathology. Patients and MethodsA prospspectivestudythat lead from April 2002 to september 2020. Wereincluded 1011 patients whobenefited of a ERCP for CBD stones. The presence or absence of a juxta-papillarydiverticulumwasnoted. Wecompared the success rate of cannulation of the common bile duct in patients with a juxta-papillarydiverticulum (Group I) versus patients withoutdiverticularpapillae (group II). ResultsThe meanage of the patients was 58 Â± 14 yearswith 605 women and 406 men (sex ratio M / F: 0.67). Patients withdiverticularpapillae (group I) accounted for 9.1% of the patients enrolled (93 patients). Group II had 918patients (90.8%). The success rate of the cannulation of CBD was 92.3% in group II versus 87.1% in group I (p: 0.04). The overall rate of early complications was 6% in group II versus 7.4% in group I (p = 0.11). Conclusion The presence of a juxta-papillarydiverticulumappears to significantlydecrease the success rate of CBD cannulation in biliary stones pathologywithoutincreasing the risk of early complications. However, prospective studieswith large series are stillnecessary to confirmthese.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common problem for the patients and the gynecologists. Histological characteristics of endometrial biopsy material as assessed by light microscopy remains the diagnostic standard for the diagnosis of endometrial pathology. Material and Methods: In our prospective study of 100 patients of the age between 24-75 years, clinical characteristics and the pattern of endometrial histopathology and their association with hormone therapy administration were studied. Results: Total of 100 patients were divided into two subgroups one that received hormone therapy prior to endometrial biopsy and Group II in which hormone therapy was not administered prior to the said procedure. In both groups proliferative phase was the commonest followed by secretory endometrium in both groups. Pill change, Arias Stella reaction, tubercular endometritis, endometrial carcinoma was exclusively noted in the group in hormone therapy was administered prior to endometrial biopsy. Pill change endometrium was only significantly correlated with Group I (p=0.05). Simple hyperplasia, endometrial polyp, chronic endometritis, endocervical polyp, atrophic endometrium was noted in Group II of which simple hyperplasia (p=0.10) was not found to be clinically significant. Conclusions: The study of the endometrium in AUB revealed many structural and non-structural causes manifest in the form of different endometrial histopathological patterns in two groups with or without hormone therapy. Endometrial study gives significant etiological information in AUB when interpreted with relevance to age and other clinical data, thus guiding the appropriate management.

Published: July 2022

Herbal extracts are used in dentistry for treatment of various dental disorders. The natural photochemical could offer an effective alternative to antibiotics and represent a promising approach to prevention and therapeutic strategies for various oral infections. The herbal remedies have an edge over conventional antibiotic treatment that suffer the limitation of low benefit to high risk as compared to herbal treatment that possess high benefit to low-risk ratio. The literature shows that several herbal formulations have the capacity to control the production of proinflammatory mediators, thereby managing many inflammatory processes. The use of such herbal anti-inflammatory formulations for a longer period of time was found to be safer than that of chemical anti-inflammatory drugs.Studies for assessment of safety and efficacy of herbal remedies are in its infancy. These herbal remedies are expected to widely use in future.

Authors: Firdausa Nuzula Ifta , Wahyudi Lilik
Published: July 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant change in customer behavior, including in the luxury product business. One crucial part of customer behavior is purchase intention. Understanding purchase intention is an essential basis for developing various marketing innovations. This study aimed to establish a model of the interaction of factors that influence purchase intention in luxury products today, especially in Indonesia. The study used a cross-sectional study approach. This study’s respondents were social media users who would buy luxury products. The research sample size was 381 users. The Lime Survey was applied to collect data and was accessed online. The questionnaire statement items used a Likert scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree), including Perceived Value (9 items), Social WoM (3 items), Brand Attitude (3 items), and Purchase Intention (3 items). The model validation was analyzed using bootstrapping to process the Structural Equation Model (SEM) under Smart-PLS software. The analysis results show that the three variables simultaneously (R-square = 0.419) moderately can be used to explain Purchase Intention. However, the factors that affect Purchase Intention are only Perceived Value (p-value = 0.000) and Brand Attitude (p-value = 0.000), but not Social WoM (p-value = 0.203). This study concludes that marketing innovation is critical to focus on the prestige of luxury product users through perceived value and brand attitude. Information from other users is not reliable enough to build purchase intention because luxury product users tend not to trust products from other users. Still, they believe more in the perceived prestige.

Published: July 2022

Adolescent pregnancy is a serious public health and social problem. Over 95% of adolescent pregnancy cases occur in developing countries. Understanding and addressing the determinants of adolescent pregnancy is crucial to ending the vice. This study aimed to explore factors associated with adolescent pregnancy in Luuka District, in Uganda. An embedded mixed methods study design was used. Primary data was collected from 336 adolescent girls, aged 10–19 years, selected through simple random sampling, using a case-control survey, with a structured questionnaire. In addition, qualitative data was collected through 20 in-depth interviews and 16 focus group discussions. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were done using SPSS for descriptive, bivariate (i.e., Chi-square tests), multivariable analyses (i.e., logistics regression) used for determining independent associations and content analysis respectively. Findings revealed multiple factors influencing adolescent pregnancy including behavioral factors: such as having multiple sexual partners, frequent sex, lack of self-control over sex and irregular contraceptive use; familial factors: peer pressure, being an orphan living with mother, sexual abuse, and socioeconomic factors such as poverty. In conclusion: behavioral, demographic, familial and socioeconomic factors are major determinants of adolescent pregnancy in Luuka District. We recommend interventions focusing on providing information on sexual and reproductive health, including improving access to contraceptives for adolescent girls. Improving socio-economic status of families, legal punishment of sexual offenders, as well as keeping girls in school to mitigate effects of adolescent pregnancy in the low-income settings.
Prevalence of HIV-associated Co-infections and Clinical Characteristics among HIV/AIDS Outpatients in the Context of Dolutegravir Roll-out Program in Vietnam
Authors: Tat Thanh Nguyen
Published: July 2022

The prevalence of significant HIV-associated co-infections and clinical data of HIV/AIDS outpatients in the context of dolutegravir (DTG) transition are sparsely reported in Vietnam. Treatments of HIV co-infection, including antifungals, anti-tuberculous drugs, and direct-acting antiviral agents for viral hepatitis C, potentially challenge the efficacy of DTG-based therapies in terms of drug-to-drug interactions. We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional study between June and October 2020 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. HIV-infected outpatients were enrolled in the study when they attended the clinic to receive medical consultations and antiretroviral therapy (ART). Descriptive analyses were performed to describe the data. A total of 406 HIV-infected participants were enrolled in the study. The prevalence of HIV co-infected with chronic viral hepatitis B and C were 9.9% and 10.6%, respectively. Approximately 22.2% of HIV-infected patients had a history of tuberculosis treatment, and roughly 9% of participants experienced invasive fungal infections, mainly cryptococcosis, taralomycosis, and Pneumocystic jirovecii pneumonia. History of sexually transmitted diseases accounted for 40.4%. At the time of DTG transition, roughly 93% of patients were clinically stable, with a median CD4 count of 603 cells/µl. Two-thirds of HIV-infected patients achieved viral suppression (HIV viral load threshold < 20 copies/ml). A total of thirteen (3.2%) patients were ongoingly undertaking protease-inhibitors-based second-line ART regimens. The ART adherence was assessed at 92.1%. The prevalence of HIV-associated co-infections is still high in the context of DTG transition in Vietnam. More effort is needed in order to achieve the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets.

Authors: Ashimi Adewale Olufemi
Published: July 2022

Globally, intimate partner violence (IPV) among women living with HIV is well researched in various settings, but little is known about IPV among men living with HIV. While most of the documented facts are from quantitative surveys, very little has been documented from qualitative studies on the subject. Hence, this study sought to explore the experiences of IPV among HIV-positive men living in Birnin Kudu, Jigawa State Nigeria. This study was carried out using an experiential qualitative research approach which collected data through a semi-structured interview that explored the IPV experiences of 23 HIV-positive men, who were all Hausa – Muslims. Their experience of IPV was explored regarding the types of violence, reasons, and consequences. The data were explored with reflexive thematic analysis. Common themes relating to reasons for victimization, the types of IPV experienced, and the consequences of IPV were generated. All the participants in this study had experienced psychological aggression; some had experienced physical assault, while one of the participants had experienced sexual coercion. The reasons for the victimization: include disclosure of HIV status, domestic issues, and suspicion about extra-marital affairs. The experience of IPV against men living with HIV is complex, with psychological aggression and physical assault occurring concurrently. It is of essence to address IPV among men living with HIV as this may lead to a poorer health outcomes.
Disaggregating Agro-Food Sectors in the GTAP Data Base
Authors: Britz Wolfgang
Published: July 2022

We discuss the construction of the GTAP-AGROFOOD database for CGE modelling which is consistent with the standard GTAP Data Base Version 10a (Aguiar et al. 2019). GTAP-AGROFOOD departs from the full detail of 141 regions, 65 products and 8 factors in GTAP, by introducing 51 additional agro-food products and sectors in lieu of 11 original GTAP agro-food products, thereby yielding a database with 105 products. Such additional detail can improve and enrich, for instance, analysis of trade, bio-economy or climate change mitigation or adaptation issues. It also eases linkage to other, more detailed data sets, such as for nutrition accounting or irrigation water use. The main data sources used are the FABIO Multi-Regional Input-Output Database (Bruckner et al. 2019) which reports on production, land, seed, feed, and food use, mainly for primary agricultural products, and market balances for dairy products from FAOSTAT. They are combined with TASTE V10a (Pelikan et al. 2020) which provides bilateral trade and tariffs revenues at the level of tariff lines. The balancing methodology which ensures consistency with the GTAP Data Base is based on the linear loss based split utility of CGEBox (Britz 2021).
The Social Protection for Persons with Disabilities during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Probosiwi Ratih , Fitriana Kurnia Nur
Published: July 2022

To deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indonesian government, including the Ministry of Social Affairs, has issued various social protection policies, including for persons with disabilities. In fact, people with disabilities still experience difficulties in accessing the program. This study aims to analyze these policies and the difficulties faced by persons with disabilities. This qualitative descriptive study found that people with disabilities had difficulty surviving during the pandemic. They lose their jobs because most of their work requires direct contact with other people. On the other hand, only a part of people with disabilities received social assistance because they were not recorded in the recipients of social assistance. The low ability to communicate risks to persons with disabilities is one of the reasons for the weak data collection of persons with disabilities. This study recommends more intense socialization and advocacy as well as equalizing perceptions about the concept of persons with disabilities and their needs.

Een impressie van wat er om en rond de Kuiperskaai vooral in de jaren 1960 te doen was. Een onmogelijke zaak, want dat gebeurde het liefst in het bijna donker: zich moed indrinken om een surpla ceke op één dancingtegel te wagen, een lief opscharrelen… De Kuipers kaai was een begrip, zoals dat later de Overpoort werd. Aan vullend wordt een ultra korte schets gegeven van de evolutie van bebouwing en uitzicht in de vorige eeuw van de Kuiperskaai en het daarbij aansluitende bouwblok begrensd door de Oudescheldestraat en het Woodrow Wilsonplein, nu bekend als het Urbiscomplex.
Een Amerikaanse visie (1915) op de Gentse en Belgische toestanden. Isabel Anderson in The Spell of Belgium.
Authors: De Vleeschouwer Herbert
Published: July 2022

De rijke Amerikaanse dame Isabel Anderson beschreef in 1915 inThe Spell of Belgium onder andere het armoedige leven van de vele kantwerksters in Vlaanderen. Aansluitend daarbij besteedt ze veel aandacht aan de organisatie van de Vooruit coöperatie en het ontstaan van het socialisme in het katholieke Vlaanderen. Gezien dit afwijkt van de in dergelijke werken obligate verhandeling over de Vlaamse primitieven, die trouwens ook uitgebreid aan bod komen in haar boek, en de Gentse Nobelprijswinnaar Maeterlinck ook zonder haar ruim bekend, wordt dit GT artikeltje beperkt tot een licht bewerkte schets van het Gentse socialisme steunend op de creatie van coöperatieve bedrijven.

Pierke is zonder discussie de meest typische figuur van het Gentse poppenspel. Zijn witte verschijning met hoge puntmuts of potmuts en rode bollen is onbekend elders in onze landen. Dit artikeltje probeert de vraag te beantwoorden naar zijn herkomst en de omstandigheden van zijn ‘geboorte’. Enkele toevallig bewaard gebleven afbeeldingen tonen hem in deze outfit al rond 1830, wel niet als kleine marionet in een poppenkast, maar in levenden lijve als liedjeszanger in de Gentse straten.

Published: July 2022

The future of education is increasingly worrying due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic since the end of 2019. Restrictions on community activities and campus closures have forced university administrators to use e-learning. On the other hand, online learning has encountered many obstacles. Barriers to the use of e-learning are thought to stem from external problems (online facilities and infrastructure) or educators and students (internal factors), such as lack of literacy, low absorption, level of understanding, and other non-technical factors. This study aims to examine further the influence of external factors and digital literacy and the moderating effect of digital literacy with external factors (System Design, User Friendly, Devices, Internet, Electricity) on the actual use of campus e-learning at Islamic universities. This study found that: External factor variables have a significant positive effect on the actual use of e-learning. The digital literacy variable has a significant positive effect on the actual use of e-learning. The digital literacy variable weakens the influence of external factors on the actual use of e-learning at Islamic universities in Indonesia.

Gender differential item functioning on the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills instrument using logistic regression
Authors: Sumin Sumin , Sukmawati Fitri , Nurdin Nurdin
Published: July 2022

The item differential function (DIF) describes a situation in which testees of similar ability but from different demographic groups have varying chances of achieving the same result. This study aims to identify the function of uniform and non-uniform differential items on the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills Instrument using logistic regression techniques and determine the impact of DHF on construct validity. This study uses a survey method with a quantitative approach. The study involved 602 people, divided into two groups based on gender: 301 women and 301 men. The Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) is a 39-item online questionnaire that measures mindfulness. KIMS has been proven to meet content, construct, and factor validity and has good test-retest reliability and internal consistency estimators. This study uses Regression Logistics to detect DIF, analyzed with R Studio 4.1.3 software. Research results found 17 DIF items detected using logistic regression, 13 uniform DIF items, and four non-uniform DIF. Through CFA, we have succeeded in proving that DIF-free items are proven to have better construct validity. The implications of this study are expected to inspire counseling psychologists to be more careful in using rating scales or instruments. The validity and reliability of the measures are not strong enough to justify that all measuring instruments are correct. However, it is also necessary to check for item bias or functional differential items to ensure that each item on the scale or instrument is understandable to all demographic groups and does not benefit only certain demographic groups.

Published: July 2022

This study seeks to understand the role of institutions and organizations that have used cloud service providers to store and share data as ensuring third-party access to storage is a major challenge to avoid data theft and unwanted access. Hence, in this paper, Blockchain-Based Data Access and Secure Sharing Method (BDASS) is introduced to enhance security processes related to personal data through data access control and secure sharing method, the proposed method uses blockchain aggregation, file system (IPFS), dynamic access control (DAC), and ciphertext-attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) to enhance the security of personal data. To keep the owner safe, a blockchain-based DAC is designed. To keep data storage and sharing secure, the blockchain-based CP-ABE is designed. In this proposed methodology, the data owner encrypts the data they have stored in IPFS, thus enhancing data security, which has been improved with the help of CP-ABE regarding detailed access policy and data owner. Policy parameters are managed by the DAC. In the proposed methodology, the data owner uses the blockchain to control security and access to the data. Finally, the paper has come up with a set of findings in order to achieve data security and access control for the data owner through the blockchain-based approach. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, MATLAB was used. The proposed technology also contrasts with existing technologies, such as the Blockchain-Based Security Sharing Scheme for Personal Data (BSSPD) as well as the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Algorithm (RSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

Relevance. In domestic legal science in general, and in the theory of criminal procedure in particular, there is no unity of views on the relationship between the concepts of "restriction of rights" and "waiver of rights". Meanwhile, the study of the issue of conjugation of these concepts is important, because in the conditions of the initially unequal position of the individual and the state represented by officials and bodies, the possibility of using coercion by them, which is especially clearly manifested in the field of criminal proceedings, the confusion of these concepts and their unjustified substitution are fraught with illegal infringement of the rights and freedoms of the individual, possible abuses by officials conducting criminal proceedings. These circumstances necessitate a scientific understanding of the problem of the relationship between the restriction of the rights and freedoms of the individual and the rejection of subjective rights. Purpose - to study the relationship between the concepts of "restriction of rights" and "waiver of rights" in the domestic doctrine of criminal procedure law. Objective. To achieve the stated goal, the authors study the concept of limitation of law and refusal of subjective law in criminal proceedings, which are available in the domestic doctrine of law, based on the signs of these two legal phenomena, and identify their relationship. Methodology. The research is based on the universal dialectical method of scientific knowledge and general scientific methods based on it (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction), as well as specific scientific methods of cognition (formal-logical, formal-legal, etc.). Results. Authors formulated the concepts of "restriction of rights in criminal procedure " and "waiver of rights in criminal procedure". Conclusion. Restriction of rights and waiver of rights are independent legal phenomena that have different legal nature and purpose.

The relevance of this study lies in the issues of the rights of minors, which are under the scrutiny of law en-forcement agencies. The tendency is towards specialization in the aspect of knowledge of child psychology by inter-rogators, investigators, juvenile judges work with full dedication. However, the implementation of constitutional principles, the humanization of criminal proceedings in juvenile cases require the introduction of modernized means and tactics of investigation and consideration of cases. The purpose is to substantiate the need to expand the competence of a psychologist, in some cases and a psychiatrist, to determine the individual properties of a minor in order to ensure a competent choice of tactics for the production of investigative and procedural actions with his participation. Objectives: to draw the attention of scientists and practitioners to the individualization of the procedural form in cases of minors in the light of personal characteristics; to consider the specifics of the participation of a psychologist as an assistant in the choice of tactics for the production of investigative actions with the participation of minors; to note the need for the most frequent appointment of a forensic psychological examination to understand the personality characteristics and inclinations of a minor. Methodology. The methodological basis of the research is the method of dialectical scientific knowledge, as well as a systematic approach to the problem under consideration, a formal-logical method, analysis, synthesis. The results of the study are to substantiate the potential of psychological knowledge in order to establish com-petent tactics for the production of investigative actions with the participation of a minor. Conclusion. The issues of juvenile rights are under the scrutiny of law enforcement agencies. The tendency is towards specialization in the aspect of knowledge of child psychology by interrogators, investigators, juvenile judges work with full dedication. However, the implementation of constitutional principles, the humanization of criminal pro-ceedings in juvenile cases require the introduction of modernized tactics of investigation and consideration of cases. In particular, it is advisable both to expand the grounds for the participation of a psychologist in juvenile affairs and to optimize the production of a forensic psychological examination to determine the tactics of criminal proceedings from the standpoint of an individual approach to the personality of a minor.

Relevance. This article is an attempt to analyze the state of the Soviet military aviation, including combat training, in the pre-war period and the influence of these factors on military operations in the initial period of the war. The study of the reasons for the failures of the Soviet troops during this period, especially the heavy losses of combat aviation, was carried out in many works over a long period of time, but these works mainly dealt with issues related to aviation technology. The state of combat training and military discipline in aviation units and formations and the influence of subjective factors on their level are practically not considered in these works. Therefore, the relevance of this article is beyond doubt. The purpose of the article is to reveal the state of the Soviet military aviation, taking into account the objective and subjective reasons, the level of its readiness for combat operations and the implementation of various measures to improve them in the course of preparing the general preparation of the USSR for the war. Objectives. To consider the problems of the Soviet military aviation, taking into account the state of discipline and combat training, identified in various military conflicts and the Soviet-Finnish war; to evaluate the considered reasons for the results of aviation combat operations in the initial period of the war. Methodology. The article is based on the general principles of historicism, scientific objectivity and consistency. In addition, methods of interpretation and content analysis were used. Results. The Soviet-Finnish war and military conflicts in the second half of the 30s of the last century revealed great shortcomings in the training and armament of the Red Army aviation. These shortcomings were actively discussed at the highest level of the military leadership. Many decisions were made to eliminate them. So, the creation of new aviation technology, especially fighters, has accelerated. The restructuring of the entire combat training system was begun in order to correct the shortcomings and increase the readiness of the flight personnel and the command of aviation units and formations. But, despite the measures taken, the level of general readiness of military aviation was not brought to the required level for various reasons (including due to lack of time), which ultimately became one of the main reasons for the tragic events of the summer and autumn of 1941. Conclusion. The general state of the Soviet military aviation in the period under review was determined not only by the objective factors (for example, the level of the aviation industry development), but also largely by subjective, personal factors.
