Specification Acupuncture Points Li4 and Sp6 in Postpartum Sectio Caesarea Pain
Authors: Azizah Nurul , Rosyidah Rafhani , Rohmah Jamilatur
Published: February 2024

Postoperative pain can affect the postpartum SC's mobility, and the physical healing process after surgery can also trigger physiological stress and anxiety due to wound pain. The presence of side effects from analgesic use prompts the exploration of non-pharmacological treatments as an alternative for pain management in post-SC clients, as they are considered to have low side effects. Acupuncture, as one of the non-pharmacological complementary therapies, has been developed to address pain. This research aims to identify the Specific Points of Acupuncture, Li4 and Sp6, in Postpartum Cesarean Section (SC) Pain. The research design employed a quasi-experimental clinical approach, specifically a non-equivalent pre-posttest with a control group. This involved identifying pain reduction before and 24 hours after administering acupuncture intervention at specific points, LI4 and SP6, for a duration of 30 minutes. The study included a total of 34 participants in both the treatment and control groups. The research was conducted at Airlangga University Hospital in Surabaya. The subjects of the study were patients who met the inclusion criteria. The Pain Numeric Rating Scale was used as the research instrument. Statistical analysis involved employing one-way ANOVA to observe the mean change in values between the pre-test and post-test within each group. The administration of acupuncture therapy targeting points LI4 and SP6 in this study proved effective in reducing postpartum SC pain compared to the control group. In future research, further investigation could be conducted to identify changes in chemical reactions within the body following acupuncture treatment.

Published: February 2024

Dysmenorrhea is a symptom that arises due to abnormalities in the pelvic cavity and interferes with daily activities, especially in school-age adolescents. It was reported that between 30% and 60% of young women who had dysmenorrhea did not go to school. Treatment of dysmenorrhea can be carried out pharmacologically or non-pharmacologically, depending on the aspect of knowledge. Counselling is known to be effective in increasing knowledge, and leaflets and printed media also facilitate the teaching and learning process. This study aims to determine the effect of counselling and leaflet media on increasing knowledge. The study used a non-equivalent control group design. The research sample was taken by simple random sampling using a questionnaire to assess knowledge about dysmenorrhea. The analysis used a paired t-test to determine the effect of counselling and leaflet media and an independent t-test to determine the most influential media. The results showed that there was an effect of increasing knowledge by providing material through counselling and leaflets (p <0.05). Leaflets are concluded to increase knowledge, compared to counselling.

Authors: Ito Hisato , Maruyama Satoshi , Yamasaki Takato , Bessho Saki , Toba Shuhei , Shomura Yu , Takao Motoshi
Published: February 2024

A 56-year-old man with a history of emergency ascending aortic and aortic valve replacement for acute type A aortic dissection 6 months previously developed a huge pseudoaneurysm arising from the sinus of Valsalva due to recurrent aortic root dissection. The patient urgently underwent the completion Bentall procedure with coronary artery reconstruction using interposing grafts. During surgery, the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva was repeatedly dissected and ruptured, where surgical glue was applied in the previous operation. The 25-mm REGENT mechanical valve® from the previous operation was left in place, and 2-0 bladed mattress sutures were circumferentially placed in the sewing ring of the prosthesis. A 28-mm Valsalva graft® was cut at the middle of its skirt portion, through which these sutures were passed and tied, and was seated to completely cover the valve cuff. The completion Bentall procedure is considered a feasible technique for reoperative aortic root replacement in patients with a prosthetic aortic valve following acute type A aortic dissection repair. It is important to accurately measure the outer diameter of the prosthetic valve to ensure proper fit of the graft and to minimize the risk of bleeding.
Securitization of Migration and Crisis Management in Poland
Authors: Liszkowska Dominika
Published: February 2024

Objectives

The purpose of article is to present the issue of migration crisis management in the context of securitization theory. It is of key importance to show the way in which the phenomenon of migration and crises are presented to the Polish public by political actors, as well as the actions taken to solve them. The analysis covers two important migration crises in the recent years, namely the EU refugee crisis that was particularly intensified in 2015 and the crisis on the Belarusian border in 2021-2022.

Methods

The approach used in the research process is descriptive and exploratory in its nature. The main methods used in this study include desk research and a systematic review of literature and of websites concerning securitization theory and migration crises selected as case studies.

Results

What is also associated with the policies and practices in place at the time of migration crises, is a negative migration discourse, compounded by a narrative that describes migration and migrants as a threat, and images designed to create fear. Socially constructed “threats of migration” as a security issue in Poland concern migrants from the Middle East and Africa.

Conclusions

In a situation referred to as a crisis, during which migrants are defined as a threat requiring the use of emergency measures, policymakers have an option of managing migration to limit its scale. This model involves, among other things, closing borders, increasing the number of services, denying asylum requests or, finally, erecting a fence and a monitoring system in the cross-border area.

Dear reader! You are holding in your hands the next issue of the VITA ANTIQUA almanac, the publication of which is accompanied by tragic, but at the same time, significant and powerful events in the life of our country. Ukrainian society is going through one of the most difficult moments of its historical development — the brutal and unprovoked aggression of the Russian Federation on our peaceful towns and villages, which for our people has become a struggle for real freedom and independence. Wars all over the world always have the similar consequences, and the Russian-Ukrainian war is no exception: they lead to terrible casualties among the civilian population, mass displacement, violations of human rights and neglect of international humanitarian law. One of the manifestations of such violations is the destruction of cultural heritage; it becomes one of the most vulnerable segments of social life during war. Considering that the war in Ukraine has been going on since 2014, there are thousands of destroyed or damaged monuments, especially in Donetsk and Luhansk regions and in Crimea. Since Russia started a full-scale invasion in Ukraine in February 2022, the number of damaged and destroyed monuments and archaeological sites has begun to rise across the country. The biggest loss for Ukrainian heritage was the looting of museum collections that ended up in the occupied territories. Irreparable damage was the result of the lack of developed algorithms for the protection of museum collections from bombings and the evacuation of collections from front-line territories. Effective evacuation mechanisms were not developed; there are no clear instructions, materials and organizational support for rescue operations in relation to museum funds. This problem has not been solved even now, despite the constantly changing front line in the south and east of our country. In the conditions of the threat of losing part of the cultural heritage, the meaning of this heritage is being rethought in society and an understanding of the importance of preserving and studying objects of historical, anthropological, ethnographic, and archaeological value is being formed.

Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an emergency problem that can cause death and disability worldwide. By using contextual learning models, smartphone applications can be an innovative solution for improving self-care and health condition management. This research aims to know the effectiveness of smartphone applications for self-care in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients with contextual learning models. Pre-test and post-test control group design was used by researchers. The study was conducted in the period October 2nd, 2023 - January 2nd, 2024. The number of samples collected using the G Power formula was 110 intervention groups and 110 control groups. To select samples, researchers used a purposive sampling method. This research involved T2DM patients treated at nine Health Centers in Kediri, Indonesia. In the smartphone application educational intervention group with the contextual learning model, there was an increase in self-care from a mean of 43,03 to 81,53, and a p-value result of 0,008 was obtained. In the control group using the booklet, there was an increase in self-care from a mean of 37,19 to 52,62, and a p-value result of 0,000 was obtained. Smartphone applications with contextual learning models are more effective in improving self-care than education using booklets; however, both types of education can improve self-care in T2DM.

Authors: Libent Stella , Madaha Rasel M. , Busindeli Innocent M.
Published: February 2024

This study examines the accessibility of interactive radio-based agricultural information for women crop farmers in Dodoma City, Tanzania. With a focus on face-to-face interviews, supplemented by Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and key informant interviews, the research involved 32 purposively selected individual participants. The study uses content analysis to unveil a limited interaction between radio programmers and women crop farmers in Dodoma City. Identified barriers include a scarcity of radios and mobile phones, absence of electricity for device charging, domestic responsibilities, fear of spousal disapproval, non-contact by programmers, voucher purchase costs, and language obstacles. The findings underscore the need for intervention to enhance women's engagement with radio programs. The study recommends that the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) addresses financial constraints hindering women's interaction. This aligns with the TCRA's commitment to prioritizing information consumer interests. Additionally, the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology is urged to empower schoolgirls by providing agricultural education through secondary levels. Such initiatives can foster improved access to vital agricultural information for women crop farmers in Dodoma City, contributing to their socio-economic development
Current state of knowledge on the centrifugal visual system (including the pinealo-to-retinal connection) in mammals and its hypothesized role in circadian rhythms
Authors: Vereczki Viktória , Köves Katalin , Csáki Ágnes
Published: February 2024

The ubiquity of circadian rhythms in living organisms has generally been accepted by researchers over the last century. Indeed, morphology and molecular biology of the circadian clock were described during the last fifty years. This main biological clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. This nucleus is connected with the retina by the retinohypothalamic tract. This way, light regulates the functioning of the biological clock and biological rhythms such as the sleep-wake cycle and other cyclic functions by releasing melatonin from the pineal body (PB) into the general circulation. Melatonin reaches the retina via the bloodstream as humoral feedback. More than a hundred years ago a reverse neuronal connection between the central nervous system and the retina was hypothesized. This so-called centrifugal visual or retinopetal system has been explored in detail in birds, but less information is available in mammals. In this work, the morphology and physiology of mammalian centrifugal visual pathways are reviewed. It is generally accepted that the centrifugal (retinopetal) fibers terminate mainly on the amacrine cells of the retina. Histaminergic fibers terminate on dopaminergic amacrine cells. Serotoninergic synapses were identified on ganglion cells. In addition, serotoninergic fibers were also associated with photoreceptor terminals. Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone fibers have been observed in birds, but not in mammalian retinas. In summary, based on the data available in the literature, it seems that the retinopetal system has a mandatory role in lower vertebrates, but a modulatory role in mammals. There is currently no adequate way to eliminate the centrifugal visual system that would better explain its true function.
Resolving a paradox: antidepressants, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration
Authors: Rajkumar Ravi Philip
Published: February 2024

Depression is a known risk factor for dementia. Antidepressants are the most commonly used treatment for this condition, and are effective in at least half to two-thirds of cases. Extensive evidence from in vitro and animal models suggests that antidepressants have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. These effects have been shown to reduce the oxidative damage, amyloid aggregation, and expression of pro-inflammatory genes associated with animal models of neurodegenerative disorders. However, longitudinal research in humans has shown that antidepressants do not protect against dementia, and may even be associated with a risk of cognitive deterioration over time in older adults. The contrast between two sets of findings represents a paradox of significant clinical and public health significance, particularly when treating depression in late life. This review paper attempts to resolve this paradox by critically reviewing the medium- and long-term effects of antidepressants on peripheral immune-inflammatory responses, infection risk, gut microbiota, and neuroendocrine responses to stress, and how these effects may influence the risk of neurodegeneration. Briefly stated, it is possible that the peripheral actions of antidepressant medications may antagonize their beneficial effects against neuroinflammation. The implications of these findings are then explored with a particular focus on the development and testing of multimodal neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory treatments that could reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and related dementias in patients suffering from depression.

Helminthic infections caused by Enterobius vermicularis have a cosmopolitan character and most often affect the paediatric pre-school and school age population. This helminth is the most frequent in Libya, but it is as yet unrecognized, probably due to parasitological laboratories not being consulted. The cellophane scotch tape method was used to investigate the presence of E. vermicularis eggs in 115 specimens. The overall infection of this parasite was 11.3%.Out of 115 school children (62 boys and 53 girls) nine (14.51%) boys, and four (7.54%) girls, were found infected with this parasite. There was a significant difference (X2=5.39, P=0.022) between both genders. Highest prevalence rate (13.84%), was found among 8 to10 years old age group. The adhesive scotch tape method appeared to be sensitive and appropriate choice to diagnose infection of E. vermicularis..

One form of the local wisdom of the archipelago's ulamas in grounding the noble values of Islamic religious teachings, is the dissemination of the concepts and content of the hadiths of One form of local wisdom of the archipelago's scholars in grounding the noble values of Islamic teachings is the dissemination of the concepts and content of the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in Javanese language, modified with Arabic style and written in beautiful poetic strokes. The combination of these concepts is considered cooler, more interesting, and more familiar to the ears and souls of those who receive it from the Javanese community. This study aims to explore the concept of hadith thought of Abu Muhammad Al Hajawi and to determine the quality of the hadiths that are expressed in the form of Sekar Cempoko poems. The data analysis technique in this research is content analysis, in which researchers study and analyze the concept of Al Hajawi's hadith thinking. The results of this study show that Al Hajawi conveys the noble values of the prophet's traditions not with the original text but by translating them into the language of the local community and then making them more attractive by decorating them with literary art in the form of poems. As for the typology of the quality of the traditions that are highlighted in his verses in this manuscript, not all of them are categorized as sahih and hasan, there are some weak and even false hadith that he implies in some of his verses.

Sudah umum bahwa tatkala seseorang ingin membeli suatu barang, dia akan berusaha memilih barang yang asli dan menghindari yang berlabel asli tapi palsu, namun ironisnya mereka tidak menetapkan standar yang benar tatkala memilih akidah mereka. Hal paling berharga yang dimiliki seorang manusia adalah akidahnya, karena ia merupakan pondasi agamanya serta penentu diterima tidaknya amalan yang ia kerjakan. Namun sangat disayangkan tidak sedikit di antara kaum muslimin yang kurang peduli dengan keotentikan akidah yang ia yakini. Adapun satu golongan yang telah dijamin Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam untuk selamat dari api neraka mereka adalah ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah, tentunya akidah yang mereka anut adalah akidah yang orisinil, yang diwariskan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Ada orang-orang yang mengklaim mereka adalah ahlus sunnah wal jama’ah, akan tetapi mereka tidak mengetahui indikator keotentikan akidah ahlus sunnah wal jama’ah. Di antara tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apa saja indikator keotentikan akidah ahlus sunnah wal jama’ah, dan bagaimana pembuktian keotentikan akidah ahlus sunnah melalui sejarah pembukuan. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan kajian pustaka dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keotentikan akidah ahlus sunnah wal jama’ah adalah: a.) Berpondasikan Al-Qur’an dan Hadits, b.) Berprinsip berserah diri kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya, c.) Sesuai fitrah dan akal sehat, d.) Sanadnya sampai ke Rasulullah shallalahu ‘alaihi wasallam, e.) Jelas dan gamblang, f.) Tetap eksis hingga hari kiamat, g.) pemersatu umat, h.) Jaminan keamanan dan kehidupan yang mulia dari Allah. Pembuktian keotentikan akidah ahlus sunnah wal jama’ah melalui sejarah pembukuan yang menjadi bukti bahwasanya mata rantai akidah ahlus sunnah wal jama’ah terus bersambung dari zaman ke zaman.
PRINSIP "MAPAN DAHULU BARU MENIKAH" DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM

Published: February 2024

Sebagian orang memiliki prinsip bahwa dia tidak akan menikah sebelum hidupnya mapan. Dalam bayangannya, semua apa yang dibutuhkan setelah menikah nanti harus terpenuhi.  Namun bila prinsip ini dipegang teguh lalu hidupnya tak kunjung mapan sampai dengan usianya yang sudah lanjut maka ini akan berakibat dia tidak akan menikah sampai di usia tersebut. Jika ketidakmapanannya itu berlanjut sampai akhir hayatnya maka dia tidak akan pernah menikah sepanjang hayatnya. Karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyadarkan setiap orang agar pandai melihat kondisinya masing-masing. Jangan sampai memegang prinsip yang menyulitkan dirinya, padahal dia tidak masalah bila meninggalkan prinsip itu. Dalam menyusun penelitian ini metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif. Adapun pengumpulan datanya, metode yang digunakan adalah library research. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa prinsip mapan dulu baru menikah adalah prinsip yang kurang selaras dengan syari'at Islam, karena syari'at Islam menganjurkan untuk menikah tanpa mempersyaratkan harus mapan terlebih dahulu. Di samping berbagai dalil menunjukkan ketidakselarasan tersebut, prinsip seperti itu bisa mempersulit terjadinya pernikahan karena tidak kunjung mapan.

ANALISIS MODEL PEMBAHARUAN HUKUM ISLAM DI INDONESIA MELALUI WASIAT WAJIBAH
Authors: Irsan  , Aslati Aslati , Jamal Khairunnas
Published: February 2024

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis model pembaharuan Hukum Islam di Indonesia melalui wasiat wajibah. Penelitian ini merupakan library research. Data primer penelitian ini adalah teks Kompilasi Hukum Islam Pasal 209 ayat 3 dan 4:  “...... ...... terhadap orang tua angkat yang tidak menerima wasiat diberi wasiat wajibah sebanyak-banyaknya 1/3 dari harta warisan anak angkatnya”. “Terhadap anak angkat yang tidak menerima wasiat diberi wasiat wajibah sebanyak-banyaknya 1/3 dari harta warisan orang tua angkatnya”. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis isi (content analysis). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa, pertama, pembaharuan hukum Islam adalah proses perubahan hukum-hukum qabilah littaghayyur (dapat berubah) dari hukum yang lama kepada hukum yang baru melalui proses ijtihad berdasarkan pertimbangan ‘urf (adat kebisaan), maslahat dan analogi ilat hukum. Kedua, model pembaharuan Hukum Islam melalui wasiat wajibah adalah pertimbangan ‘urf (adat kebisaan) masyarakat dan maslahat anak angkat atau orang tua angkat. Ketiga, model pembaharuan Hukum Islam di Indonesia melalui wasiat wajibah tidak relevan dengan konsep penetapan Hukum Islam, karena adat kebiasaan masyarakat yang menjadi bahan pertimbangan penetapan wasiat wajiabh menyelisihi nas Al-Qur’an dan Sunah, dan maslahat anak angkat atau orang tua angkat yang menjadi bahan pertimbangan penetapan wasiat wajibah bertentangan dengan ketentuan perhitungan warisan yang telah ditetapkan berdasarkan nas Al-Qur’an dan Sunah, dan pada saat yang bersamaan maslahat tersebut bertentangan dengan maslahat lain yang lebih besar, yaitu maslahat ahli waris.

It is on this assumption, that this paper examines the interconnected nature of social challenges, academic performance, and moral development in the context of secondary education and seeks to provide valuable insights into the multifaceted landscape of secondary education, offering a nuanced understanding of how these factors intersect and influence one another. It delves into the detrimental effects of these challenges on students' academic performance, highlighting the links between social difficulties and decreased motivation, concentration, and engagement in educational activities. The concept of moral development and its role in navigating social challenges and academic performance were critically discussed. The role of educators, parents, and policymakers in nurturing academic excellence coupled with social and moral development was captured in the paper. The challenges that might arise in implementing balance strategies were also examined. The paper came up with some recommendations on ways to mitigate these challenges.
