Authors: Tambunan Regina , Kemal N. Siregar  , Tiopan Sipahutar
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Child marriage, which has existed for centuries, is a complex issue, deeply rooted in gender inequality, tradition, and poverty. Child marriage is increasingly recognized as a violation of girls' rights because it effectively ends education, deprives any opportunity to acquire vocational and life skills, exposes children to the risk of early pregnancy, bearing children, and motherhood before being physically and psychologically ready, increasing the risk of sexual violence and HIV infection
Objective: This study aims to conduct spatial analysis to determine the spatial autocorrelation between provinces in Indonesia based on the number of child marriages influenced by reproductive system knowledge in women aged 15-24 years who marry children (<=18 years) in Indonesia.
Method: This study used a cross-sectional approach covering all provinces of Indonesia using raw data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey organized by BPS in collaboration with BKKBN and the Ministry of Health. Data on the distribution of child marriage events will be analyzed using Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) with GeoDa application version 16.
Result: Indonesia with 34 provinces has a minimum value of zero (0) child marriage maximum of 9, a median of 1, an average of 1.67, and a standard deviation of 2.11374. In addition, there is a positive autocorrelation between the number of child marriages and knowledge of the reproductive system. For bivariate spatial analysis that associates the number of child marriages in Indonesia with knowledge of the reproductive system, a coefficient correlation of 0.679 is known so that it can be interpreted that the number of child marriages has a moderate positive correlation.
Conclusion: It was concluded that the results of global autocorrelation for child marriage cases using Moran's I with a queen contiguity weighting matrix are known to have positive spatial autocorrelation or form a grouping pattern so that it can be interpreted spatially the number of child marriages in one province with other provinces is interconnected, especially neighboring ones.

Published: June 2024

Employee performance is influenced by HR expertise. Good employee performance is attained because people are highly motivated at work and possess HR competency. Field study with a quantitative approach is the research methodology employed. There were 99 employees of BNI Syariah Semarang City that made up the study's population. A questionnaire is used in the data collection process. Employee Performance (Y1) is positively influenced by the two research variables, Human Resources Competence (X1) and Work Motivation (X2), as indicated by their positive regression coefficients. Consequently, an increase in either of these variables will result in an increase in Employee Performance (Y1). The variables of Work Motivation and Human Resources Competence have a computed F value of 42.523 at the significance level of 0.000. Given that the calculated F value is 42.523 > F table 3.94 and the significance value is (Sig.) 0.000 < 0.05 with a positive sign, it may be concluded that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis of the coefficient of determination showed a R² (Adjusted R Square) value of 0.459, meaning that the independent variables of work motivation and human resources competence had a 45.9% influence on employee performance, with the remaining portion being influenced by factors that have not yet been investigated.

Authors: Quiroga Trillos Zulay  Milena , Rodriguez Martha Patricia
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The Rico-Fontalvo classification of chronic kidney disease associated with obesity (CKD-AO) proposes four main pathophysiological mechanisms of renal function impairment with obesity. Type 4 CKD-OA addresses the issue of obesity in patients undergoing dialysis programs. An increase in body mass index > 30 kg/m2 in the general population is associated with a higher risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and higher mortality. In the group of patients undergoing hemodialysis therapies, the opposite occurs.
The objective of the review: The aim is to provide the reader with an update on the effect of weight, body composition, and body mass index in patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy in the short, medium, and long term.
Methods: A systematic search was performed in PubMed (Medline, United States Library of Congress); the search was restricted to references with no publication date limit. Keywords in English were used.
Conclusion: The increase in body mass index >25 Kg/m2 in the population group of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatments has a protective effect, decreasing mortality in studies carried out with 3 to 5 years of follow-up; At a longer follow-up time (12 years), according to observational studies, an increase in body mass index >30 kg/m2 seems to have a harmful effect equal to that of the general population. The benefit of an increase in BMI >25 kg/m2 and a decrease in mortality is more significant in men, African Americans, Hispanics, and those over 65.

Authors: Valdés Socin Hernán , Vanoni Patiño Miguel
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The surprising history of gliflozins begins with the phlorizin-induced renal diabetes model and culminates with synthesizing the C glycosides derived from phloridzin: gliflozins. These drugs, specifically SGLT2 inhibitors, constitute a new class of oral antidiabetics with unsuspected beneficial effects on cardiovascular andrenal levels.
Objective of the review: The aim of the present historical narrative review of the events related to developingglyphozins from phlorizin.Essential points of the review:• Phloridzin or phlorizin, a natural O-glucoside, was discovered in 1835 by two Belgian chemists: Laurent Guillaume de Koninck (1809-1887) and Jean Servais Stas (1813-1891).• Joseph von Mering described in 1883 the glucosuric effects of phlorizin, first in dogs, then in humans,which will lead to a model of nephrogenic diabetes.• In the 1950s, phlorizin was observed to block glucose transport in different epithelia, including the kidneyand intestine.• Today, phlorizin is known to be a nonspecific antagonist of glucose (GLUT) receptors. We also owe a lotto patients with congenital glycosuria, in whom inactivating mutations of GLUT receptors were identified.
Conclusion: The fabulous fate of gliflozins illustrates the relevance of the history of medicine and translationalresearch that allowed significant therapeutic advances for many diabetic, renal, and cardiac patients.

NATO Enlargement and the US- Russian Relations in the 21st Century: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Akhlaq Sufyan , Arslan Muhammad , Gill Qasim Shahzad , Mustafa Ghulam
Published: June 2024

Cold War was the rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United States to expand their ideology and influence worldwide to become the most powerful state of the world. A significant element of the Cold War was the making of alliances by both the United States and the Soviet Union to materialize their objectives and to contain each other’s ballooning influence and ideology. The weakening position of the Soviet Union brought the two countries closer. In addition to this, the United States' assurances to the Soviet Union about restricting NATO’s borders normalized relations between the two rivals after being engaged in a Cold War for over 40 years. Later, the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s prompted the world to believe that the Cold War had come to an end. However, the North Atlantic Treaty’s inclusion of more European countries backed by the United States has again reinstated the Russia-US rivalry leading to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This paper delves into the role of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization during the Cold War era. The paper then tries to figure out whether there is any significant proof of American promises to the Soviet Union regarding the restriction of NATO’s borders. The paper then analyzes Russian policy in the 21st century and its invasions of Ukraine in the context of American promises.

Uvod: U dostupnoj literaturi populacija studenata izdvaja se iz opće populacije kao zasebna s uočenom nižom razinom kvalitete života u odnosu na opću populaciju. Studije prije pandemije pokazuju da studenti, a poglavito studenti medicine, prijavljuju nižu kvalitetu života tijekom pandemije. Pandemija COVID-19 utjecala je na sve aspekte života, uključujući i kvalitetu života. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je procijeniti kvalitetu života studenata Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu tijekom pandemije COVID-19. Ispitanici i metode: Uzorak ispitanika u ovom istraživanju činilo je 404 studenata medicine (34,4% mladića i 65,6% djevojaka) sa Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, akademske godine 2019./2020. Studenti su ispunili demografski upitnik, upitnik Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije o kvaliteti života-kratka verzija (WHOQOL-BREF) i dodatni upitnik o COVID-19. Rezultati: Studenti medicine, u procjeni kvalitete života, najviše vrijednosti iskazali su u okolišnoj domeni (75,97 ± 15,10),tjelesnoj (69,18 ± 17,79), društvenoj (66,46 ± 21,15),te u psihološkoj domeni (63,11 ± 20,06). Multivarijatna regresijska analiza izdvojila je ženski spol (β= -2,213, p<0,001) i osjećaj zabrinutosti nakon porasta pandemije COVID-19 (β= -2,306, p=0,022) kao prediktore lošijeg tjelesnog funkcioniranja. Nasuprot tome, prediktori boljeg tjelesnog funkcioniranja bili su viša godina studija (β=0,162, p<0,001) i bolja akademska postignuća (β=0,384, p<0,001). Zaključak: Rezultati pokazuju da su studenti medicine procijenili svoju kvalitetu života na početku pandemije COVID-19 dobrom u sve četiri domene. Utjecaj ženskoga spola i više godine studija na tjelesnu i psihološku domenu kvalitete života, upućuju na potrebu razvoja intervencije u specifičnim dijelovima studentske populacije.

Melanchthons religionspolitisches Agieren zwischen Interim und Passauer Vertrag (1550–1552)
Authors: Ehlers Tim-Niklas
Published: June 2024

Die Jahre 1550–1552 waren aus heutiger Sicht Schicksalsjahre der Reformation. Wenige Jahre nach dem Tod Luthers und der Niederlage der Protestanten im Schmalkaldischen Krieg war Kaiser Karl V. gewillt, die religionspolitischen Streitigkeiten auf der Fortsetzung des Trienter Konzils endgültig beizulegen. Philipp Melanchthon wurde als religionspolitischer Berater des Kurfürsten Moritz von Sachsen mit den Vorbereitungen auf eine Teilnahme betraut. Dafür verfasste Melanchthon nicht nur mit der Confessio Saxonica eine neue Bekenntnisschrift, sondern bemühte sich auch um eine abgestimmte evangelische Konzilsvorbereitung. Dass es schließlich nicht zu diesem Besuch kam, ist Moritz von Sachsen zuzuschreiben, der sich für eine militärische Intervention gegen den Kaiser entschied. Auch wenn diese riskante Unternehmung erfolgreich verlief, haderte Melanchthon auch noch nach dem Abschluss des Passauer Vertrags mit diesem Vorgehen.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, which may affect various organs, including the brain and liver. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the potential ameliorating effects of black seed (Nigella sativa) hydroethanolic extract on the liver and brain tissues in a rat model of polycystic ovary. Methods: In this experimental study, eighteen female rats were divided into three groups: Control (PCO rats on day 0 after induction of PCO), vehicle (PCO rats receiving saline via gavage for 28 days), and black seed extract (BSE) (PCO rats receiving BSE via gavage for 28 days). Polycystic ovary was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg/kg estradiol valerate. Liver tissue was evaluated for the average number of damaged hepatocytes (segmented nucleus and cytoplasm shrinkage), number of Kupffer cells, and number of lipid droplets, while brain tissue was assessed for vacuolization, apoptosis, and cell shrinkage. Results: In the BSE group, liver weight significantly decreased, while brain weight increased compared to the vehicle and control groups. Moreover, there was a significant decrease in the number of damaged hepatocytes and Kupffer cells in the BSE group compared to the vehicle group in the liver tissue. In the brain tissue, there was a significant reduction in the number of vacuolations in the BSE group compared to the vehicle group. Conclusions: Black seed extract demonstrated potential ameliorating effects on the adverse impacts of PCO in the liver (reducing damaged hepatocytes and Kupffer cells) and brain (reducing vacuolations). Further histologic and molecular analyses are needed to investigate the protective effects of BSE thoroughly.

Background: Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a significant cardiovascular complication in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and outcomes of COVID-19 patients with LVT. Methods: Twenty-two COVID-19 patients with normal myocardial signals on echocardiography, normal coronary findings, and normal cardiac biochemical tests but with LVT were included. Patients were aged between 18 and 65 years. Data on risk factors and outcomes were collected from electronic records, including patient demographics, clinical characteristics, comorbidities, laboratory values, and in-hospital outcomes. Results: Of the 22 patients surveyed, 9 (40.8%) were admitted to the ICU, and 4 (18.1%) died during follow-up. Mechanical ventilation was required for 6 (27.2%) patients. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute kidney injury were reported in 6 and 5 patients, respectively. Shock was experienced by 27% of patients (6 individuals), and ventricular arrhythmias were reported in only one patient. Conclusions: In summary, COVID-19 patients who developed LVT during hospitalization had a higher mortality rate. Screening echocardiography at admission may benefit such patients.

Background: The physical and psychological symptoms of Parkinson's disease can disrupt patients' social lives, leading them to withdraw from social situations. Objectives: The objective of the present study is to identify the social needs and priorities of patients with Parkinson's disease from the perspectives of patients, family caregivers, and health care providers. Methods: The present study employed a qualitative content analysis method to collect data to identify the needs of patients with Parkinson's disease. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 participants using a purposive sampling strategy with maximum diversity in Tehran in 2023. Data analysis was performed using the conventional content analysis approach based on Granheim and Lundman's model. A two-stage Delphi technique was used to identify patients' priorities with 53 participants. Results: The 28 participants included 11 patients (7 male, 4 female, mean age = 66.27), 11 family caregivers (7 daughters, 3 spouses, 1 son, mean age = 43.81), 4 nurses, and 2 physicians. Three main categories and 12 subcategories were extracted. In the category of "Interactionism by leaving unwanted isolation," the subcategories identified were maintaining and promoting social interactions, maintaining aspects of the job and continuing some professional skills, voluntary membership in groups and institutional participation, and participation in social activities. The category "Continuity of healthcare services delivery" included four subcategories: Continued access to movement disorder specialists, access to coordinated multidisciplinary services, access to supporting organizations and associations, and appropriate insurance coverage. The category "Individual-oriented and community-oriented advocacy programs" included four subcategories: Financial support, social belonging and effective communication, self-care, and comprehensive education programs with multiple target groups. The prioritization was completed after two Delphi steps with a high agreement of 86.90% from 16 patients, 14 family caregivers, and 23 health care providers from eight disciplines. Conclusions: The results of the study show that patients with Parkinson's disease experience various social needs. Since the nature of Parkinson's disease affects social interactions, patients and their caregivers view social interactions as the missing link to addressing their social needs. Meanwhile, health care providers prioritize educating patients and families and holding specialized Parkinson's disease courses. Policymakers should consider necessary social support programs for these patients and focus on the specialized training of healthcare providers in the field of Parkinson's disease, in addition to providing appropriate care, support, and social services.

Published: June 2024

This study utilizes SolidWorks software to thoroughly examine the structural layout and static load simulation of a temporary platform and ladder in an adsorbent chamber. SolidWorks, a computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, offers robust tools for 3D modeling, simulation, and analysis, making it ideal for this type of structural assessment. Finite element analysis (FEA), a simulation model within SolidWorks, is employed to determine stress distribution and safety factors. The results demonstrate the platform's maximum stress at 198.65 MPa, below the yield strength of ASTM A36 Steel, leading to a safety factor of 1.3. These findings validate the design's safety and reliability for industrial use.

Authors: Hidayat Taufik
Published: June 2024

E-Learning Implementation in schools has been compulsory especially in the era of post-Covid19. Teachers should have an ability to deliver the education to their students towards e-learning because of the government’s requirement these days to avoid infection that should be done through distance learning. In this article, several factore were hinted as contributed factor for teacher to adapt newer technology especially in e-learning adaption. Self-efficacy is believed the important factor because it could raise their satisfaction toward their jobs as an educator. Other than that, technology readiness that divided into four main factors, i.e. optimism, innovativeness, discomfort and insecurity were also contributed as meaningful factors to achieve better education through e-learning adaptation. Three variables, namely self-efficacy, optimism and innovativeness factors had positive impact, where the other two, specifically discomfort and insecurity had negative impact that could affect e-learning implementation.
