Authors: Rai Abyan , Anindhita Fizza
Published: January 2021

Bali is a province that has significant economic strength in various sectors. Bali has proximity to the West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara Provinces, and financial interaction can occur. This study analyzes the spillover effect of the Balinese economy on West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara. It looks at the West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara economies' response when the Bali economic sector experiences a shock. The method used is VECM using quarterly real GRDP data of 35 observations. This study found a positive relationship between the service sector and the Bali industry in West Nusa Tenggara's economic growth. The Balinese industrial sector also has a positive relationship with East Nusa Tenggara's economic growth. The spillover effect did not occur between the Bali industrial sector in general and the development of West Nusa Tenggara and the Bali service sector in general and East Nusa Tenggara's economic growth. The Balinese economy, which has a spillover effect on West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara's economic growth in several sectors, can be used as a reference for the government to make economic development policies.

Anthrax is a neglected zoonotic disease that remains a global issue because it can cause regular epidemics. Anthrax affects not only health systems but also social-economic conditions, safety, and welfare of the people. This paper aimed to give an overview of human anthrax, prevalence, and prevention in Indonesia. A literature search was performed using search engines such as Google Scholar, Crossref, Mendeley, PLoS One, Elsevier, dan the Ministry of Health official website. The literature used were published between 2015-2020. Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis that affects animals and humans. The virulence factors of these bacteria are determined by the tripartite toxin complex and poly-γ-D-glutamic acid capsule. Anthrax in humans can be found in four forms, namely cutaneous, gastrointestinal, inhalational, and injection anthrax. Each form of anthrax can develop into meningitis and sepsis. Anthrax treatment is commonly done by administering antibiotics. In Indonesia, 14 provinces have been declared anthrax endemic areas. The prevalence of human anthrax in Indonesia is fluctuating and most of it is cutaneous anthrax. Prevention and control of anthrax can be done mainly by vaccination, obeying the rules or standard operating procedures of the authorities, multisectoral cooperation, strengthening anthrax surveillance, increasing resources for diagnosis, increasing public knowledge, and awareness.

Comparison of the predictive value of area under the curve versus maximum serum concentration of intravenous tobramycin in cystic fibrosis patients treated for an acute pulmonary exacerbation
Authors: Landmesser Katherine , Autry Elizabeth , Gardner Brian , Bosko Katherine , Schadler Aric , Kuhn Robert
Published: January 2021

OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study was to compare the
therapeutic predictive value of area under the curve (AUC24) versus
maximum concentration (Cmax) in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients receiving
intravenous (IV) tobramycin for a Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) acute
pulmonary exacerbation (APE). Acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence and
the relationship between time undetectable and efficacy were also
assessed. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted in patients aged
at least one month with a diagnosis of CF receiving IV tobramycin for
treatment of a PsA APE and admitted to the University of Kentucky
between August 2015 and August 2019 . Patients were excluded if they had
no growth of PsA on sputum culture or if two post-dose tobramycin levels
were not obtained following a dose adjustment of ≥20%. RESULTS: A total
of 44 pediatric and 107 adult patient encounters met inclusion criteria.
In patients with therapeutic success (n=91), 75.8% had an AUC24 ≥80 and
80.3% had a Cmax ≥8 times the highest PsA minimal inhibitory
concentration (MIC). There was a significant correlation between AUC24
and Cmax (r2 = 0.727; p<0.001). AKI incidence was
significantly higher in patients receiving IV tobramycin dosed multiple
times daily versus at least every 24 hours (50% versus 28.7%;
p=0.047). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that both
AUC24 and Cmax serve as relatively accurate predictors of tobramycin
efficacy. Additionally, given the significant increase in incidence of
AKI, multi-daily dosing of IV tobramycin should be used only in select
pediatric and adult patients with CF.
Effect of industrial crop Jerusalem artichoke on the micro-ecological rhizosphere environment in saline soil
Authors: Shao Tianyun , Long Xiaohua , Gao Xiumei , Liu Manqiang , Rengel Zed
Published: January 2021

Salinity is not only a threat to organisms and ecosystems, but also a
major factor restricting the development of agricultural production.
This study aimed to explore the modification effect of in-situ Jerusalem
artichoke (genotype NY-1) cultivation on the rhizosphere
micro-ecological environment in the saline-alkali region along the
southeast coast of China. We analyzed the change of carbon and nitrogen
in the saline soil from a microbial perspective, through the
quantification of the area of root channels, rhizosphere secretions and
soil microbiome (cbbL, cbbM and nifH). The root channels of NY-1 not
only improved the physical structure of saline soil, but also provided a
living space for microorganisms, afforded basic conditions for the
optimization of the soil micro-ecological environment. In addition,
rhizosphere secretions (from roots of NY-1 as well as microorganisms),
such as carbohydrates, hydrocarbons, acids, etc., could be considered as
a way to improve the saline-alkali soil habitat. NY-1 increased the
diversity and abundance of autotrophic and nitrogen-fixing bacteria in
saline soil (rhizosphere > bulk soils), which should be a
biological way to increase the amount of carbon and nitrogen fixation in
soil. Moreover, some of the detected genera (Sideroxydans, Thiobacillus,
Sulfuritalea, Desulfuromonas, etc.) participate in the carbon and
nitrogen cycles, and in the biogeochemical cycle of other elements. In
short, Jerusalem artichoke can improve not only the physical and
chemical properties of saline-alkali soil, but also promote material
circulation and energy flow in the micro-ecological rhizosphere
environment of saline soils.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Provide an Unlimited T-cell Source for CAR-T cell Development and A Potential Source for Off-the-shelf Products
Authors: Nezhad Muhammad Sadeqi
Published: January 2021

CAR-T cell therapy has been increasingly conducted for cancer patients
in clinical settings. Progress in this therapeutic approach is hampered
by the lack of a solid manufacturing process, T lymphocytes, and
tumor-specific antigens. T-cell source used in CAR-T cell therapy is
predominantly derived from the patient’s own T lymphocytes, which makes
this approach impracticable to patients with progressive diseases and T
leukemia. Autologous CAR-T cell generation is time-consuming due to lack
of readily available T lymphocytes and is not applicable for third-party
patients. Pluripotent stem cells, such as human induced pluripotent stem
cells (hiPSCs), could provide an unlimited T-cell source for CAR-T cell
development. iPSC-derived T cells would be a promising infinite T-cell
source and are phenotypically defined, expandable and functional as
physiological T cells. iPSC-derived T cells provide a feasible T-cell
source for the development of off-the-shelf T cells and CAR-T cells. The
combination of iPSC and CAR technologies provides an extraordinary
opportunity to oncology and greatly facilitates cell-based therapy for
cancer patients. T-iPSCs in combination with CAR is in early stage of
development and the pre-clinical and clinical studies concerning the
combination of these novel technologies are not sufficient. This article
critically reviews the progress in iPSC-derived T cell development, and
it considers the opportunity to convert iPSC-derived T cells into
off-the-shelf T cells for universal CAR-T cell treatment.

COMPARISON OF THE OUTCOMES AFTER ENDOSCOPIC VEIN HARVESTING VERSUS OPEN VEIN HARVESTING FOR CORONARY BYPASS SURGERY
Authors: ALMalki Afnan , Arifi Ahmed
Published: January 2021

Minimally invasive endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) was first reported
in 1996 as an alternative to open vein harvesting (OVH). Making coronary
artery bypass surgery a less invasive procedure, shortly after its
introduction, it became the standard of care for conduit harvesting.
When compared to the conventional technique, the incidence of site
infections wound dehiscence, delayed healing, duration of
hospitalization, and postoperative pain were markedly reduced. However,
the long-term outcomes, safety, and graft patency remain uncertain.
Herein is an extensive literature review discussing the outcomes
following endoscopic vein harvesting for Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
(CABG) as well as its advantages and disadvantages.

Authors: Blauw Helga , Onvlee A. Joannet , Klaassen Michel , Bon Arianne C. van , DeVries J. Hans
Published: January 2021

OBJECTIVE

To demonstrate the performance and safety of a bihormonal (insulin and
glucagon) artificial pancreas in adults with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH
DESIGN AND METHODS

In this outpatient, randomized, crossover trial, two-week fully closed
loop glucose control (artificial pancreas therapy) was compared to two-week
open loop control (patient’s normal insulin pump therapy with a glucose sensor
if they had one).

RESULTS

Twenty three patients were included in the
analysis. Median (IQR) time in range (70-180 mg/dL [3.9-10 mmol/L]) was
significantly higher during closed loop (86.6% [84.9-88.5]) compared with open loop (53.9% [49.7-67.2]; p<0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

Compared to insulin pump therapy, the bihormonal artificial pancreas provided
superior glucose control, without meal or exercise announcements, and was safe
in adults with type 1 diabetes.
A ciklussztratigráfia és az asztrokronológia korszerű módszerei és alkalmazásuk
Authors: Vallner Zsolt , Bajnai Dávid , Pálfy József
Published: January 2021

A geológia számára alapvető a Föld folyamatai időbeliségének feltárása, a földtörténeti múltbeli változások között pedig ma kitüntetett jelentőségű az éghajlatváltozások megismerése. Éppen száz éve, 1920-ban fektette le Milutin Milanković a Földet érő napsugárzás csillagászatilag meghatározott változásainak matematikai alapjait. A Milanković-ciklusok, vagyis a Föld pályaelemeinek periodikus változásai által vezérelt klímaciklusok üledékes kőzetekben rögzült nyomai nak vizsgálatával foglalkozó ciklussztratigráfia egyszerre nyújt lehetőséget a földtörténeti idő mérésére (asztrokronológia), illetve a paleoklíma rekonstrukciójára. Bár a szakterület nemzetközi irodalma igen gyors ütemben gyarapodik, korszerű módszereinek alkalmazása Magyarországon mindeddig szűk körű maradt, ezért elterjedését ezzel a szemlével kívánjuk segíteni. Áttekintést adunk a precessziós, tengelyferdeségi és excentricitási ciklusokról és a Föld éghajlatára gyakorolt hatásukról. Számba vesszük azokat a litológiai, paleontológiai, fizikai és geokémiai adatsorokat, amelyek a ciklussztratigráfiai elemzés alapjául szolgálhatnak. Lépésről lépésre tárgyaljuk az adatelőkészítés, spektrálanalízis, ciklusazonosítás és -értelmezés menetét és az eredmények ábrázolásának módjait, melynek végén kormodell állítható elő.Mind ez különböző szoftverkörnyezetben történhet, például az ingyenesen elérhető és felhasználóbarát Acycle program segítségével. Képet adunk a magyarországi képződmények ciklussztratigráfiai vizsgálatának történetéről, kitérve a korábban alkalmazott módszerekre. Rövid nemzetközi kitekintésünk példákat ad az időskála pontosítását segítő asztro kronológiai alkalmazásokról, különböző üledékképződési környezetek ciklusos képződményeinek vizsgálatáról és a paleoklimatológiával való elválaszthatatlan kapcsolatról. Nem kétséges, hogy a modern ciklusztratigráfia módszereinek bővü lő hazai alkalmazása további izgalmas rétegtani, szedimentológiai és paleoklimatológiai eredményekhez vezethet.

Journalismin totuudenmukaisuus: luottamussuhde yleisöjen kanssa
Authors: Lehtinen Aki Petteri
Published: January 2021

Journalistin ohjeet velvoittavat totuudenmukaiseen tiedonvälitykseen. Valeuutisten ja disinformaation levitessä samanaikaisesti relativististen tutkimussuuntausten kanssa journalismin kulmakivi eli yleisöjen luottamus on joutunut koetukselle. Erottelu totuudenmukaisen tiedon ja informaation välillä hankaloituu, jos journalismin tiedolliset käsitteet objektiivisuus ja totuudenmukaisuus kyseenalaistetaan journalismissa ja sen tutkimuksessa. Journalismi voi elää vain yleisöjensä luottamuksesta, ja kansalaiset tarvitsevat totuudenmukaista ajankohtaistietoa tehdäkseen perusteltuja yksityisiä ja yhteiskunnallisia päätöksiä. Tässä viestinnänfilosofisessa artikkelissa totuudenmukaisuutta tarkastellaan pragmatistisen filosofian tietokäsityksen valossa, mikä tarjoaa rikasta käsitteellistä sisältöä journalismin tiedollisille ydinkäsitteille journalismin käytännöille ja tutkimukselle. Artikkeli tarjoaa viitekehyksen käsitteellisille välineille, joilla voidaan erottaa journalismi muusta ajankohtaisinformaatiosta itsenäisenä tietokäytäntönä – niin toimintana kuin tutkimuskohteena. Totuudenmukaisuus ja objektiivisuus ymmärretään tiedollisina käsitteinä, jotka voivat taata luottamussopimuksen journalismin ja yleisöjen välillä sekä siten ylläpitää ja kehittää liberaalia demokratiaprosessia.
‘State Feminism' dan Perjuangan Wanita di Tunisia Pasca Arab Spring 2011
Authors: SAIDIN MOHD IRWAN SYAZLI , ALFITRI NUR AMIRA
Published: January 2021

Over the last decade, the Arab Spring phenomenon in the Middle East and North Africa has brought significant transformation towards Tunisia’s political landscape. During the 14 days of street protest, Tunisian women have played critical roles in assisting their male counterparts in securing the ultime goal of the revolution – regime change. This article argues that after the 2011 revolution, the new Tunisian government has gradually adopted the principal idea of state feminism, which emphasizes on the role of ruling government via affirmative action in supporting the agenda of women’s rights. In so doing, this article examines the connection between state feminism and the plight of women’s struggles in Tunisia after the 2011 revolution and, looks into the impact of top down polices, and government approaches towards improving the status of women. This article concludes that women in the post revolutionary era have experienced a new trajectory in political and social freedom,the country has recorded a spike increase in the number of active female lawmakers, government executives, politicians, electoral candidates and the emergence of human right groups, gender activists and feminist movements. All these ‘women’s actors’ have directly involved in the process of drafting the new Tunisian constitution, which resulted in the acknowlegdement of women’s rights protection via article 46 in 2014 and the Nobel Peace Price Award in 2015.

Authors: Rosyada Amrina , Febriyanti Rina Husnaini
Published: January 2021

This research aimed at evaluating the use of the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) and Grammar Translation Method (GTM) in teaching English Basic Structure for EFL undergraduates. Eighty-four students were randomly chosen as a sample from over 400 EFL undergraduates students in the second semester of the English Education Program. Furthermore, the samples were grouped into two classes, 43 students in the PWIM group and 41 students in the GTM group. The research employed the mixed-method research of convergent parallel design. The efficacy of the PWIM and GTM was investigated in terms of learners' ability to develop structured sentences. The PWIM, as a new experience in teaching Basic Structure, was administered in two cycles. On the other hand, the GTM as the conventional teaching method was implemented within six sessions. In PWIM, two poster pictures were modeled as the instruments. At the end of the treatment, a post-test of structured sentences was assigned in both groups. The test consisted of 25 error analysis questions. As the results, in PWIM class, the highest score was 98, the lowest score was 66, and the average score was 78.1. Meanwhile, in the GTM class, the highest score was 96, the lowest score was 42, and the average score was 64.6. Moreover, the research indicated that most students were enthusiastic in the learning process and experienced different exciting learning process through PWIM. It can be said that applying PWIM as the new teaching method in teaching English Basic Structure is needed to enrich and broaden students' learning outcomes.

The study aims to analyze the relationship between English language skills and the students' learning outcomes in chemistry learning that uses English as the medium of instruction (EMI). This qualitative descriptive study was conducted on 40 high school students. Data is collected and analyzed in the form of the test result of the language skills and learning outcomes. The results for students' language skills: 75 % of students are at level A2 (primary user), 15 % are at level B1 (intermediate), 5 % are at level B2 (upper-intermediate), and 5 % are at level C1 (advance/proficient user). The students' chemistry learning results are averagely low, i.e., 70 % of students gained a score under 75 as the minimum criteria of standard learning,  only 30 % of students reached the score above the KKM (Criteria of Minimum Competency). The conclusion of this research is that there is a relationship between language skills and chemistry learning outcomes. Learning chemistry in English has not given good results for students' learning outcomes. Therefore, the demands of learning in English need to be supported by good language skills to understand the learning content.
Cultural Shock in Anita Desai’s Novels

Published: January 2021

Cultural Shock is a phenomenon which is generally experienced by the migrants whether they migrate for jobs, studies or in case of women, after marriage. Anita Desai has dealt with Cultural Shock in her novels along with other major themes.

Anita Desai is one of the pioneers of Indian English Literature. Her novels are replete with themes of Cultural hybridity, alienation, nostalgia cross-cultural clashes etc. These themes are studied under the gamut of theme of Cultural Shock which forms a prominent theme of Desai’s novels. The characters she potrays in her novels undergo a transition from one culture to another wherein they receive this Cultural Shock because the new culture appears to them completely alien and contradictory to their opionions. Critics have often praised her for her lucid writing style and fecundity of thought in various books, edited volumes and research articles. However, the theme of Cultural Shock explicitly expressed in her novels has not caught the attention of many critics. There seems to be a considerable dearth of critcal appraisal with regard to the experience of Cultural Shock by her characters once they migrate from homelands to abroad.

The present study aims to fill this void by emphasizing and critically examining the novels of Anita Desai with respect to the theme of Cultural Shock. The Cultural Shock of individuals which Anita Desai has potrayed in her books once they migrate from subcontinent towards the western world. The characters make a conscious choice or sometimes a forced decisions to migrate in expectation of better future and life in the new found worlds. The paper analyses the experience of Cultural Shock by these migrants once they reach and confront the alien cultures.

 The paper will also deal with the resultant themes of alienation, depression, nostalgia and agony experienced by the characters once they migrate from eastern cultures to western culture. The research article also delves deep into the cross-cultural connections and hybridity produced once the two culture meet and mingle in an individual’s personal life.

Published: January 2021

The most recent international guidelines recommend the measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) using high-sensitivity methods (hs-cTn) for the detection of myocardial injury and the differential diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes. Myocardial injury is a prerequisite for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, but also a distinct entity. The 2018 Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction states that myocardial injury is detected when at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit is measured in a patient with high-sensitivity methods for cTnI or cTnT. Not infrequently, increased hs-cTnT levels are reported in patients with congenital or chronic neuromuscular diseases, while the hs-cTnI values are often in the normal range. Furthermore, some discrepancies between the results of laboratory tests for the two troponins are occasionally found in individuals apparently free of cardiac diseases, and also in patients with cardiac diseases. In this review article, authors discuss the biochemical, pathophysiological and analytical mechanisms which may cause discrepancies between hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT test results.

Original Intents: Individual Requirements for Candidates of Regional Representative Council
Authors: Pratama Ganiviantara
Published: January 2021

The main problem of this research is that there is no firmness regarding the diction of individual words in the Constitution which is useful as a condition for nominating Regional Representative Council or Dewan Perwakilan Daerah (DPD) membership. This indecisiveness has led to the composition of DPD membership being dominated by members of political parties. This journal aims to explore the meaning of the diction of words contained in the 1945 NRI Constitution, namely "Individual" which is clearly written in Article 22E paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia after the Constitutional Court Decision No30/PUU-XVI/2018. The meaning of the term “individual” in this article will determine the conditions for nominating members of the DPD so that they are more in line with the objectives of establishing the institution. This journal uses a statutory approach and a historical approach. The results of this discussion show that the original intense definition concluded by the author regarding the word "individual" in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia after the Constitutional Court Decision has the following meaning: an individual who does not have a political party background or political party management and really understands his / her region.
