Examining the Article Anti-religious Radicalism in Law Number 18 of 2019 concerning Pesantren
Authors: Ghofarrozin Abdul , Janah Tutik Nurul
Published: January 2025

Anti-religious radicalism means efforts to reject radical religious movements. The anti-religious radicalism movement requires synergy between elements of society, religious communities and the government. Pesantren which are often stigmatized as the basis of religious radicalism movements, need to fight this stigma. Therefore, it is hoped that the state will also have an anti-religious radicalism attitude, as seen in Law No. 18/2019 articles about Pesantren. This qualitative research uses a descriptive method with a normative juridical analysis approach. This article aims to understand the articles that support anti-religious radicalism in Law No. 18/2019. The state's partiality in supporting the anti-religious radicalism movement can be read from eight articles in Law No. 18/2019. These eight articles can become the basis for regulations that prevent the emergence of Pesantren as a basis for radical movements.

HUBUNGAN KADAR ASAM URAT DENGAN KEPARAHAN PENYAKIT PARKINSON
Authors: Zuhir Elvina , Ayuningtiyas Ratih , Wulandini Putri
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In recent centuries, there has been an increase in life expectancy, whereas, in developed countries, the average life span is longer than in previous generations. This longer lifespan has also led to a rise in cases of chronic neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease. Its prevalence is 0.5 to 1 % after age 65 and 1 to 3 % after age 80; the disease is rare in individuals younger than 50. A decrease in dopamine levels in Parkinson's Disease produces symptoms such as bradykinesia, stiffness, tremor at rest, and postural imbalance, which become noticeable when 70-80% of dopamine-producing neurons are lost. Intracellular dopamine metabolism is susceptible to free radical production, exposing dopaminergic cells to a greater risk of oxidative stress toxicity. Urate, or uric acid, as a purine metabolite, is a powerful natural antioxidant that plays an essential role in eliminating free radicals. The study was conducted on 21 patients with Parkinson's at Bangkinang Hospital in 2023. Data collection is done by conducting a physical examination to determine the severity of Parkinson's disease and then analyzing uric acid levels. From the results of Spearman’s analysis, a p-value of 0.872 was obtained, which showed no relationship between uric acid levels and the severity of Parkinson's disease.
Keywords: Parkinson's disease, uric acid, disease severity
 
Abstrak
Dalam beberapa abad terakhir, telah terjadi peningkatan harapan hidup, sedangkan, di negara maju, rentang hidup rata-rata lebih lama daripada generasi sebelumnya. Umur yang lebih panjang ini juga menyebabkan peningkatan kasus penyakit neurologis kronis, seperti penyakit Parkinson. Penyakit Parkinson adalah gangguan neurodegeneratif paling umum kedua setelah penyakit Alzheimer. Prevalensinya adalah 0,5 hingga 1% setelah usia 65 dan 1 hingga 3% setelah usia 80; Penyakit ini jarang terjadi pada individu yang lebih muda dari 50 tahun. Penurunan kadar dopamin pada penyakit Parkinson menghasilkan gejala seperti bradikinesia, kekakuan, tremor saat istirahat, dan ketidakseimbangan postural, yang menjadi nyata ketika 70-80% neuron penghasil dopamin hilang. Metabolisme dopamin intraseluler rentan terhadap produksi radikal bebas, mengekspos sel-sel dopaminergik untuk risiko yang lebih besar toksisitas stres oksidatif. Urat, atau asam urat, sebagai metabolit purin, adalah antioksidan alami yang kuat yang memainkan peran penting dalam menghilangkan radikal bebas. Penelitian dilakukan pada 21 pasien Parkinson di Rumah Sakit Bangkinang pada tahun 2023. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melakukan pemeriksaan fisik untuk mengetahui tingkat keparahan penyakit Parkinson kemudian menganalisis kadar asam urat. Dari hasil analisis Spearman, diperoleh p-value sebesar 0,872 yang menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan antara kadar asam urat dengan tingkat keparahan penyakit Parkinson.

Tafiti za kifasihi na kisaikolojia zinazohusiana na masuala ya watoto katika nyuga mbalimbali zinaonesha kuwa watoto wana urazini wa hali ya juu ikilinganishwa na umri wao. Katika uga wa fasihi, baadhi ya wataalamu wanabainisha kuwa urazinishaji wa wahusika watoto katika kazi za fasihi kama vile tamthiliya na vichekesho unabainika kutokana na matendo na lugha wanayotumia kuwa juu ya urazini wao. Filamu ni miongoni mwa kazi za fasihi zinazotumia wahusika watoto na hupendwa na hadhira pana ya watoto. Kwa hiyo, ni rahisi kwa wahusika watoto kujifunza mambo ambayo wakati fulani huwa nje ya uelewa wao na umri wao. Licha ya watoto kujifunza mambo yaliyo nje ya uwezo wao, bado uchunguzi kuhusu urazinishaji wa wahusika watoto katika filamu za Kiswahili haujapewa kipaumbele. Hali hii ikiachwa bila kuchunguzwa inasababisha kukosekana kwa maarifa kuhusu athari za urazinishaji kwa wahusika watoto katika filamu za Kiswahili. Filamu zilizorejelewa ni za Steven Kanumba zilizotumia wahusika watoto. Filamu hizo ni Ripple of Tears, (2010), This Is It (2010), Uncle JJ (2010) na Big Daddy (2010). Data za makala hii zilikusanywa kwa kutumia mbinu ya usaili kutoka kwa wahusika waliokuwa watoto katika filamu hizo (kwa sasa ni vijana), wazazi wa wahusika hao na mtunzi wa filamu hizo.

However, the use of these chemicals has been associated with insect resistance and negative impacts on non-targeted species. The adoption of hermetic principles for pesticide-free grain storage is globally recognized as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides. To address losses in stored maize, trials were conducted at Bako, West Ethiopia to compare the effectiveness of pesticide-free hermetic grain storage and traditional polypropylene bags in terms of quantitative losses and seed quality, including germination potential, after three and six months of storage. The on-station trial followed a completely randomized design with three replicates of three treatments: Metal silo, PICS bag, and polypropylene bags without synthetic insecticide. On-farm trials with the same treatments were replicated on four smallholder farms, allowing natural insect infestation. Samples were assessed for total insect count, insect mortality, grain moisture content, grain damage, weight loss, and germination percentage. The results showed that hermetic treatments effectively controlled insect development, grain damage, and weight loss compared to non-hermetic treatments, with significant differences (P<0.05) observed. Seed viability was maintained in hermetic treatments, with high germination percentages (>92%) compared to non-hermetic treatments (<72%). There were no significant differences in grain moisture content among the storage methods. Overall, hermetic storage technologies proved effective in suppressing insect development, reducing losses, and preserving seed viability without the use of insecticides. These findings support the adoption of hermetic storage by small-scale farmers to improve food security and income generation in the country.

Purpose: This study explored nursing students' knowledge and beliefs variables (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control) as determinants of intention in volunteering to care for COVID-19 patients across multiple demographic groups (gender, academic level, and volunteering experience). Methods: This mediation Path analysis and multiple-groups Path analysis is part of a larger exploratory cross-sectional study that we conducted in July 2020. We developed and administered an online Likert-scale questionnaire to 437 nursing students. Results: Knowledge negatively predicted students' intentions to care for COVID-19 patients (r= −.258, p≤ .01), with perceived behavioral control as a mediator. Subjective norms positively predicted intention among males, seniors, and students with previous volunteer experience. Despite a significant relationship between knowledge and the belief variables, subjective norms had insignificant effect on the intentions of females, juniors, and those without volunteer experience. Conclusion: Building confidence and self-efficacy are essential in preparing nursing students for crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Revising healthcare policies to create opportunities for students to volunteer may help support the healthcare system and reduce the burden on nurses in crisis. Additionally, updating curriculums to build skills, confidence and promote opportunities for volunteering may help prepare nursing students to effectively assist in disasters.

The concern about ionizing radiation exposure of women of childbearing age or pregnant women is still relevant and CT scanning alone is a subject of interest as it is responsible for 58% of radiation exposure from medical x-rays. The objective of our survey was to evaluate the knowledge and practices of radiation protection of CT scan users in women of childbearing age in the city of Douala in Cameroun. This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study that was conducted over a period from October to December 2019, in two referral hospitals in the city of Douala. We interviewed 30 women of childbearing age, 15 medical imaging technicians, and 45 referring physicians. The majority of patients were relatively young with an average age of 33.3±9.6 years. The majority of the medical imaging technicians and the requesting physicians were young people (24 to 30 years old) with 40% and 44.4% respectively. The applicant physicians were mostly general practitioners (40%), and the average years of experience were 2.1±1.1 years. The level of knowledge of radiation protection of women of childbearing age, radiology technicians and requesting physicians was unsatisfactory with a rate of 25.5%, 48.1% and 48.6% respectively without influence of the level of education. At the end of our study, continuing education in radiation protection and the routine use of the guide to the proper use of imaging examinations were recommended.

Background: Brain infections are serious conditions that can lead to neurological complications and functional sequelae. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool of choice for brain infections, as it allows to visualize the lesions with high spatial resolution and good tissue sensitivity. In Cameroon, data on brain infections are scarce and fragmented. Objective: To determine the frequency and characteristics of brain infections in patients who underwent brain MRI in three hospitals in Cameroon. To compare the MRI diagnosis with the biological diagnosis when available. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional and descriptive study in three hospitals in Cameroon equipped with an operational MRI: the General Hospital of Douala, the Regional Military Hospital of Yaoundé and the Cathedral Medical Center of Yaoundé. Our study population consisted of patients of any age and sex who underwent brain MRI with the indication of a suspected or confirmed brain infection. We collected epidemiological and clinical data of the patients, as well as the results of brain MRI and biological tests. We calculated sums, frequencies and distributions. Results: Out of 351 patients who underwent brain MRI, 43 had a brain infection on MRI. The frequency of brain infections in our series can therefore be estimated at 12.25% of brain MRIs performed. The most affected age group by brain infections in our series was 41 to 50 years old with 13 cases, or 30.2%. Men accounted for 53.49% of patients, with a sex ratio of 1.15/1 in favor of men. Most of our patients lived in the city of Yaoundé (46.51%) and were of urban origin (79.07%). The main indications were altered state of consciousness (14%) followed by altered general condition (11.6%), subacute encephalitis (11.6%) and cerebellar syndrome (9.3%). Out of 43 cases of brain infections, 21 cases were HIV positive, or 48.84%. The most common brain infection was cerebral toxoplasmosis with 10 cases, or 23.3%. The most common ...

Close to three-quarters (70%) of all cases of cervical cancer occur in countries with a low human development index where the burden of infections with human papilloma virus is high and screening uptake is low. The aim of this study was to assess the burden of metastatic disease from cervical cancer and the pattern of spread in a sub-Saharan African population. We extracted data from reports of computed tomography scans of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis (CT-TAP) of patients with histologically proven cervical cancer from a prospectively collected cancer imaging database from July 2022 to February 2024. Independent statistical associations were performed using Fisher’s exact test whilst metastatic disease patterns were illustrated with a Sankey diagram. Data was extracted from 113 CT-TAP reports of patients. The mean age was 59.9 ± 12.21 (range: 38 to 84 years). There was reported local, regional or distant spread in 53 out of 103 (46.39%) patients. Four out of 8 (50.00%) baseline scans for staging reported tumor spread, against 49 out of 105 (46.67%) follow-up scans (p=0.570). Cancer spread was mostly local invasion than distant (59% vs. 41%). Parametrial invasion was reported in 41 cases (35.04%), followed by nodal tumor disease (32 cases; 27.35%) of which 75% was pelvic. Common sites for distant metastatic disease were the peritoneum (16 cases; 13.68%), spleen (12 cases; 10.26%) and pleurae (12 cases; 10.26%). Age-related trends in the occurrence of metastatic disease was significant with a peak at 40 to 49 years (p=0.001). The high burden of cervical cancer spread suggests the need to intensify primordial, primary and secondary prevention strategies.

Recent data confirms breast cancer to be the leading cancer amongst women in sub-Saharan Africa and the second cause of cancer-related deaths. Screening and early diagnosis are the main pillars in the management of breast cancer in resource-limited settings. This study explored mammography utilization and challenges in a peripheral referral hospital in Cameroon. To achieve this aim, a hospital-based sequential explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted. Quantitative data was extracted from the mammography registry over a five-year period, after which in-depth interviews were conducted for some clients randomly selected from the registry. A total of 392 clients had a mammogram during the study period and all were females. The median age was 47 years (range: 20 to 73 years). There were 126 screening mammograms (32.14%; 95% confidence interval: 27.54 – 37.02%). The fear of a diagnosis of breast cancer was reported to be an important factor in getting a mammogram, but also deterred some who did not consider themselves able to afford for care in the event of such a diagnosis. Other important factors associated with obtaining a mammogram were the death of a relative, friend, colleague or acquaintance attributed to breast cancer. Many respondents did not know about mammography and its availability in the local reference hospital. These findings indicate low levels of awareness and under-utilization of mammography. Campaigns to educate and raise public awareness about breast cancer screening may be important to improve mammography uptake and increase the proportion of screening studies.

Published: January 2025

Water is essential for daily economic activities. This study examines the impact of borehole water access on rural health and economy, focusing on reducing diarrhea and boosting small industries. Using data from PODES 2014-2021 and a 2019 borehole program, control villages with similar characteristics were selected. The sample includes 4,550 villages. DiD analysis show the policy does not significantly affect diarrhea prevalence or small industries. Boreholes may not meet all residents' needs, and factors like location and industrial suitability might reduce interest in using water for businesses.
