Authors:   Kyung Hee University, Korean Medicine hospital, Kim Tae-Hun , Kang Jung Won
Published: February 2023

Review question / Objective: To evaluate current clinical evidence status of massage chair and to present evidence map for future research implication. Background: A massage chair is a furniture-type device such as a sofa or bed which provides automated massage using installed rollers and airbags. Although the market is growing and the number of users is increasing, its clinical evidence of the benefit and harm has not been clearly established yet. Because it is accepted like a furniture not a medical devices, its use is not controlled by medical personnel like other medical devices, so there is a need to pay attention to safety issues and effectiveness in terms of individual health promotion. This scoping review will assess the current evidence status of massage chair and present clinical research agenda in future.

Published: February 2023

The recent years have seen a resurgence of economic growth in Asia. The region's growth of roughly 5% achieved in 2003 came close to the level achieved prior to the East Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s. Remarkably, too, despite this crisis that led most countries in East Asia to either a sharp economic slowdown or a contraction, the past decade had witnessed significant poverty reduction. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of people living on less than a dollar a day fell by about 243 million. Poverty incidence in East Asia declined from 29.46% to 15.6%, while that in South Asia fell from 41.3% to 31.1%. At these rates, the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving by 2015 the proportion of people whose income falls below one dollar a day looks attainable for Asia. Indeed, China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia have already reached the goal, while the rest, except Sri Lanka, are on target. The prevalence of undernourishment between the late 1980s and late 1990s also declined from 29 to 13% in East and Southeast Asia, and from 38 to 23% in South Asia.
SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE: A QUALITATIVE APPROACH
Authors: Mathew Asha Latha , Sasikala S.
Published: February 2023

Love is a psychological need that necessitates reciprocation from the receiving end. This implies that love requires a language for communication. Chapman talks about five primary languages of love namely, words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, receiving gifts, and acts of service. One of the commonly cited reasons for the breakdown of intimate relationships is a deficit in expressing and experiencing love. In the present study, a qualitative approach has been adopted to conduct personal interviews with 30 married persons in order to understand the love dynamics in operation within the context of their married lives. The data collected was analysed to elicit themes that are reflective of the operationalization of love languages. Implications of the research direct counsellors, therapists, and psychologists to psychoeducation of couples on the construct of love languages and provide tailor-made interventions for conflict-filled marriages.

ABSTRACT

THE PROGNOSIS FACTORS FOR CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY INDICATIONIN CHILDREN WITH ANAPHYLAXIS

Background: Anaphylaxis is potentially fatal condition, and requires intensive care to reduce mortality rate, but the appropriate indication for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is controversial The objective of the study aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors for CRRT indications in children anaphylaxis at the PICU, National Children’s Hospital.

Methods: A case series study on110 patients with anaphylaxis from 1/1/2016 to 1/7/2021.

Results: Of the 110 patients evaluated, 21 (19.1%) required CRRT from January 2016 to July 2021. There was a statistically significant difference between CRRT indication and non - CRRT indication in heart rate, invasive systolic blood pressure (ISBP), pH, length of adrenalin infusion, HCO3-, lactate, vasoactive inotropic score (VIS), and PRISM III score (p < 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that SBP was an independent factor for CRRT indications in patients with anaphylaxis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the SBS was 0.741 (95% CI, P<0.05). The cut - off value of the ISBP was 75.5 mmHg (sensitivity 0.846, specificity 0.476).

Conclusions: SBP is an independent factor for indication of CRRT in anaphylactic shock patients.The cut - off value of the ISBP was 75.5 mmHg.
Value-Added Biogas Production and Its Effect on Ethiopia's Rural Energy Security
Authors: SORI Gemechu Kaba
Published: February 2023

Ethiopia has access to a variety of renewable energy sources. A renewable energy source made from agricultural waste, forest products, and other biological resources is bioenergy. There are few studies demonstrating the added value of bioenergy production and its importance in Ethiopia's energy security. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the gross value added in the production of bioenergy and how it affects energy security. Primary and secondary data from various sources were used and descriptively examined. According to the findings, the gross value added at all levels of the value chain for the generation of biogas from installed biodigesters was estimated to be ETB 175.619 million (USD 6.23 million), or roughly 0.0074 percent of the nation's GDP in 2018. Currently, only a few regions of the country use the household-level biogas that provides benefits to 180,000 rural residents. In Ethiopia, there are approximately 1.1 million homes that might adopt dung-based bio-digesters. It is crucial to use this biogas feedstock for cooking, but it would also be crucial to provide the grid with the energy. By doing this, the sector's contribution to the GDP of the nation and the gross value added from the production of biogas would both significantly grow. Therefore, significant assistance for biogas-based power generation is required within the framework of sectoral policies at the federal level.

Published: February 2023

The study assessed the sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices of 303 manufacturing firms in Ghana with an annual turnover of not less than $1,000,000, which were purposively selected for the study. A questionnaire comprising closed-ended questions was used to collect data on the SSCM practices of the firms, which were sustainable product design (SPD), sustainable process design (SP), supply-side collaboration (SSC) and demand-side collaboration (DSC). A weighted average index was used for the data analysis the results of which revealed that in manufacturing firms under study, SPD had a mean score of 4.44, SP had a mean score of 4.48, SSC had a mean score of 4.52 and DSC had a mean score of 4.52. The study identified many issues policymakers should look at to promote SSCM practices in manufacturing firms. In addition, policies should prioritise energy/material consumption; the reusing, recycling and recovering of materials; a standardised product design to facilitate reuse; environmentally-friendly materials, products and manufacturing processes; the easy disassembly of materials products; product life cycle analysis; and the formalisation of procedures for environmentally-friendly product design. Based on the diminishing of the world’s natural resources and the importance of SSCM, it is recommended that all manufacturing firms in Ghana and the world adopt SSCM practices. Moreover, manufacturing firms need to collaborate with their customers to anticipate and solve sustainability problems to achieve sustainability goals.

Published: February 2023

The influence of media technology extends beyond their importance to human existence, to the point where they are being utilized to disseminate revolutionary propaganda in the form of hate speech. According to McLuhan's idea, for a communication phenomena to occur through the use of media, it must do more than just consider the medium in which the message will be delivered. In analyzing the context of the message on a specific platform, this investigation on Twitter in Indonesia demonstrates how Twitter has become a facilitator of extremism and an accelerant of radicalization chances. In contrast to the common belief that radicalism has a single meaning, the purpose of this study is to explain why the media and messages can only substantially alter the mode of communication if they are backed by ideological components and features of the technology itself in Indonesia.

Motaain Boundaries: Between State Sovereignty and Indigenous People
Authors: DARI Alfridus Saverius Daniael , JACOB Ananias Riyoan Philip , MUSKANAN Frans W. , SABAAT Yeftha Y.
Published: February 2023

The border issue has always been a problem that continues to be debated by every country. One of the issues that are important but rarely highlighted is social issues that involve relations and interactions between people in bordering countries. As happened in Motaain, the border between Indonesia and Timor Leste. The separation of the two regions after the 1999 East Timor Popular Consultation resulted in various traditions and indigenous cultures being transformed into cross-border cultures. This transformation occurred because previously the two boundary communities came from the same culture. This can be explored from three aspects: historical, cultural, and genealogical ties. Separation of the country does not eliminate cultural relations and interactions even though they have different citizenship statuses. Cross-border culture creates harmonization of border communities so that horizontal conflicts at the border can be minimized. However, cross-border culture needs state control because it risks territorial sovereignty, as well as having loopholes for certain elements to exploit to create transnational violations and crimes. This issue has become the concern of the two countries in controlling people across the border. State policies that negotiate with culture as well as negate previous opinions that see the state as the sole actor in managing boundaries. The state does not have to control borders with power, but it can also be done by giving space for its citizens to interpret borders with cross-border culture

Authors: HENDRA Rahmad , AGUSTINA Rosa , LESTARINI Ratih
Published: February 2023

The resolution of customary land conflicts often does not bring results. The protracted conflict inflicted losses on both sides. The community cannot benefit from the land that is their customary right because it is under the control of the Oil Palm Plantation Company (PPKS), while PPKS cannot operate comfortably because it must always face community demands. Until now, there are still conflicts in oil palm plantations that occur between indigenous peoples in Kampar Regency, Riau Province and PPKS. Based on these conditions, the legal issue that is also the main problem in this study is why there is a land conflict between oil palm plantation business investors and indigenous peoples and how the parties resolve it. The author found that the conflict occurred due to differences in views on customary land, the non-implementation of deliberations with indigenous peoples before investment was made, and government policies. Conflict resolution is carried out using different means according to the cause of the conflict.

Indonesia had 11 million home backlogs in 2020 and 93% of this number are low-income and poor people. South Tangerang is one of the cities in Indonesia where 80% of the area is built by private developers, and 50% of which is developed by three major companies. The existence of large-scale housing they’ve built has caused local people to move to the peripheral of the housing or to places on the outskirts of the city. This paper analysis how the regulations give companies the authority to control large land area and how its impact to low-income people. By using the socio-legal method, this study aims to reveal the implication of law in society. The results showed that the existence of large-scale housing did not contribute to fulfilling the housing needs of low-income people in South Tangerang City. Regulations in the housing sector have not had any implications for the fulfilment of housing needs for low-income people. There are no small houses that the local people can afford.

Economic development is one of the essential pillars for the attainment of people’s wellbeing. Indonesia is one of the largest migrant worker contributors in southeast Asia, where East Java is its biggest supplier. However, the high number of migrant workers and the improving economic condition in the province are followed by the increasing number of divorce cases, which are interesting to study further. It has been widely believed that the driver for people to become migrant workers is the hope of having better economic opportunities. In fact, following the attainment, they have problems with their marriage, which lead to divorce. The objective of his research is to identify the effect of emigration and socio-demographic condition on divorce rate and economic level in East Java. The multiple linear regression and probit model analyses have led to findings that emigration positively and significantly affect divorce cases in East Java, that emigration does not significantly influence the economic status of the migrant workers, that divorce does not influence the economic gains of the workers in the short run, and that migrant workers who are older, male, and better in education have a significant influence on the income increase of migrant workers in East Java.

Published: February 2023

Background: Reported cases of Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) are becoming more and more frequent. The risk of hypercoagulability associated with IPMN is not clearly established in the literature as it was only reported in four cases. Therefore, we present a unique case of a patient with IPMN who subsequently developed acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
Case presentation: A 70-year-old healthy female patient complained of palpitation, chest pain, and dyspnea at rest. She had normal vital signs and findings on physical examination. Laboratory tests showed an increase in the D-Dimer level of 3,730 ng/mL fibrinogen equivalent unit (FEU). Bilateral DVT ultrasound (DVT-US) of the lower extremities was positive for acute calf DVT in the right lower extremity involving the soleal vein. CT-PE chest with IV contrast was remarkable for segmental and subsegmental pulmonary arteries thrombosis. She was started on a heparin drip and then transitioned to rivaroxaban for the treatment of PE and DVT. She was discharged in stable condition with outpatient follow-up.
Conclusion: IPMN of the pancreas is an exocrine pancreatic neoplasm often detected on Computed Tomography (CT) scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It is usually non-malignant but was found to be more prone to progress into cancer in contrast to the other types of pancreatic cysts. An increased risk of hypercoagulability with pre-malignant pancreatic lesions such as IPMN has not yet been well established. As far as we know, this case report is the first article presenting IPMN associated with both acute DVT and PE in a relatively healthy individual with no prior risk factor for hypercoagulability. Although there is scattered evidence suggesting an increased risk of thromboembolic events with IPMN, this unique case of DVT and PE associated with IPMN highlights the importance of close monitoring of these patients, especially those who have risk factors for thrombosis.

Background: Omentum necrosis is a rare cause of acute abdomen. Its main etiologies are torsion on its axis, hypercoagulability, and intra-abdominal infections. Its clinical diagnosis is difficult since its symptoms resemble other abdominal pathologies, so diagnostic confirmation when the pain is present in the right abdomen, which occurs most frequently, is usually intraoperative Surgical treatment is more effective than conservative management in reducing hospital stays and does not require follow-up.
Case Report: We present the case of a 45-year-old male suspected to be infected with SARS-CoV-2, which potentially triggered hypercoagulability with necrosis of the greater omentum and mesenteric ischemia, requiring multiple surgical interventions.
Conclusion: It is a rare cause of acute abdomen and to the best of our knowledge, the description of the first case of necrosis of the omentum secondary to COVID-19.

AIMS: The aim of the study was to determine the activity of topical conditioned medium (CM) mesenchymal stem cells as single or combined with oral therapy of Moringa oleifera extract (ME) in lowering blood glucose levels and healing diabetic wounds.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were induced hyperglycemia with Streptozotocin and injured by a biopsy punch on the dorsal side. Then, the rats were divided into five groups, namely, the CM group, which was given topically; the CM–ME group, which was given CM gel topically and ME orally; the CM–Met group, which was given Metformin (Met) as the positive control; commercial gel containing neomycin and placenta extract (BP); and placebo as the negative control. The treatments were given once daily for 16 days. On the 3rd, 8th, and 16th days of treatment, blood glucose level was measured, and anatomical observations of wounds and histology were performed using hematoxylin-eosin and Masson’s Trichrome staining.
RESULTS: The wounds treated with CM–ME and CM–Met have a similar profile of lowering blood glucose levels; however, Met was faster to reach blood glucose levels below 250 mg/dL (day 8) compared with ME (day 16). As shown in data on anatomical and histological wound healing parameters, untreated mice exhibited moist wounds with poor healing. Meanwhile, the group that received CM gel alone or along with oral ME showed an improvement in wound parameters.
CONCLUSION: CM–ME has a similar profile to CM–Met in reducing blood glucose levels and healing diabetic wounds parameters in rats.
