An Approximate Analytical Approach of Water Transport in an Unsaturated Porous Medium by Modified Variational Iteration Method
Authors: Yadav Jyoti , R. Singh Twinkle
Published: January 2023

One of the most familiar equations for examining the properties of infiltration in unsaturated regions of soil like a porous media is known as Richards' equation. The main aim of this paper is to illustrate the behaviour of the water transport problem in unsaturated soil. The Variational Iteration Method and the Modified Variational Iteration Method have been used to determine an approximate analytical solution for Richards Equation in different cases. A comparison of the solution has been made with the exact solution, Finite Difference Method, and Elzaki Adomain Decomposition Method (EADM) solutions. For the numerical and graphical representation, MAPLE and MATLAB software are used.

Published: January 2023

Данные о распространенности и клинических особенностях семейной гиперхолестеринемии (СГХС) в когорте пациентов с острым коронарным синдромом (ОКС) немногочисленны и представляют собой особый интерес в связи с высоким риском развития повторных сердечно-сосудистых событий. Цель исследования заключалась в анализе распространенности и оценке клинических параметров лиц с фенотипической СГХС среди пациентов с ОКС с оценкой развития повторных сердечно-сосудистых событий.

Материал и методы. В исследование включено 498 пациентов, госпитализированных в связи с развитием ОКС. Клиническую вероятность наличия СГХС оценивали с помощью диагностических критериев Голландских липидных клиник (DLCN score). Наблюдение длилось в течение одного года.

Результаты. У 86 (17,3 %) пациентов определен возможный диагноз СГХС, у 6 (1,2 %) – вероятный диагноз СГХС. По сравнению с лицами без клинической СГХС больные с возможной и вероятной СГХС характеризовались более молодым возрастом (соответственно 68,5, 59,5 и 50,5 года, p < 0,001), высокой частотой встречаемости семейного анамнеза преждевременных сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний (ССЗ) (соответственно 22,9, 77,9 и 83,3 %, p < 0,001) и ранним персональным анамнезом ССЗ (соответственно 24,1, 90,7 и 100 %, p < 0,001). Пациенты с СГХС имели более значимые нарушения липидного обмена: сывороточный уровень общего холестерина и холестерина липопротеинов низкой плотности был значимо выше у лиц с возможной и вероятной СГХС (p < 0,001) по сравнению с пациентами без СГХС. Статистически значимых различий в развитии сердечно-сосудистых событий в период госпитализации и в первый год после выписки из стационара не наблюдалось (p > 0,05).

Заключение. Выявлена высокая распространенность клинической СГХС в популяции пациентов с ОКС. Лица с СГХС характеризуются более молодым возрастом, высокой частотой встречаемости семейного анамнеза преждевременных ССЗ, ранним персональным анамнезом ССЗ и более значимыми нарушениями липидного обмена. Полученные данные демонстрируют важность выявления пациентов с СГХС на догоспитальном этапе с целью интенсификации гиполипидемической терапии для снижения атерогенной нагрузки, предотвращения развитие острых первичных и повторных сердечно-сосудистых событий.

В одной трети случаев причина внезапной смерти остается необъясненной после проведения стандартного судебно-медицинского исследования. При отрицательной аутопсии во многих странах рекомендовано проведение посмертного молекулярно-генетического исследования.

Цель исследования – оценить диагностическую значимость молекулярной аутопсии методом экзомного секвенирования для мужчин молодого возраста, умерших внезапной сердечной смертью (ВСС).

Материал и методы. Выполнено экзомное секвенирование ДНК группы молодых мужчин (37 человек), умерших ВСС в возрасте до 45 лет (средний возраст 32,4 ± 6,4 года). ДНК выделена методом фенол-хлороформной экстракции из ткани миокарда. Экзомный анализ выполнен на платформе Illumina. Для некоторых из выявленных вариантов проведено подтверждающее прямое автоматическое секвенирование по Сэнгеру.

Результаты. Из 37 образцов ДНК при анализе результатов секвенирования 205 генов обнаружено более 30 вариантов в 17 образцах (46 %), вероятно имеющих отношение к фенотипу ВСС. Найденные мутации локализованы в генах, ассоциированных с фенотипами, приводящими к развитию ВСС (дилатационная или гипертрофическая кардиомиопатия, нарушения ритма сердца).

Заключение. Впервые в России проведено экзомное секвенирование образцов ДНК мужчин, умерших ВСС в возрасте до 45 лет. Молекулярная аутопсия методом экзомного секвенирования – эффективный метод поиска причинных вариантов нуклеотидной последовательности при ВСС.

Notes on Trumpspace
Authors: Markus David
Published: January 2023

In the wake of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, considerable ink was spilled on the architecture and interior design of the buildings owned and inhabited by Donald J. Trump. In an effort to understand the inner workings of America’s first real-estate-mogul-in-chief, commentators remarked on everything from the president’s fastidious taste in window dressings to the exaggerated floor counts boasted by many Trump-branded towers.

Notes on Trumpspace takes this discursive trend as a point of departure. It examines not only key examples of “Trumpitecture” but also works of film, fiction, and contemporary art that center on or otherwise illuminate the psychogeography of “super luxury” real estate. Engaging closely with current political debates, the book takes a critical approach to mainstream liberal reactions to the Trump presidency. It argues that the fascination and horror Trump has provoked is owing in part to the way he lays bare the obsession with status, self-branding, and achievement-at-any-cost that has been part and parcel of the broader neoliberal ethos. Finally, it analyzes the January 6, 2021 storming of the US Capitol through the lens of spatio-political theorizations of settler colonial power and conceptions of home and homeland.

A genre-defying work of political and aesthetic inquiry, Notes on Trumpspace offers a sustained investigation into the relationship between the built environment, late capitalist fantasy, and national identity. It asks what it means for current and future understandings of home and dwelling that this era’s most notorious peddler of high-end real estate succeeded in peddling his way into the White House in 2016.

Bu çalışmada, kütük yetiştiriciliğinde misel ekim zamanı ve ağaç türlerinin shiitake mantarının (Lentinula edodes (Berkeley) Pegler-meşe mantarı) verim ve kalitesi üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Kayın (Fagus orientalis Lipsky), kızılağaç (Alnus glutinosa subsp. barbata C.A. Mey.) Yalt.) ve meşe (Quercus macranthera subsp. syspirensis (K. Koch) Menitsky) olmak üzere 3 farklı ağaç türüne ait kütükler kullanılmıştır. Kütüklere misel ekimi sonbahar (kasım) ve ilkbahar (mayıs) döneminde yapılmıştır. Çalışmada ilk hasata kadar geçen süre, verim ve kalite özellikleri (ortalama mantar ağırlığı, şapka çapı, sap çapı ve uzunluğu ile elde edilen mantarların protein ve mineral madde miktarları) belirlenmiştir. En yüksek ortalama mantar ağırlığı, şapka çapı, sap uzunluğu ve çapı değerleri meşe ve kızılağaç kütükleri üzerinde yetiştirilen shiitake mantarlarında tespit edilmiştir. En yüksek verim aralarında istatistiksel fark bulunmayan kızılağaç ve meşe kütüklerinden, en düşük ise kayın kütüklerinden elde edilmiştir (sırasıyla 555.14, 549.97 ve 103.53 g 10 kg kütük-1). Sonbahar ve ilkbaharda misel aşılanarak açık şartlarda yetiştirilen farklı ağaç türlerine ait kütüklerden elde edilen (misel aşılama zamanı ile ağaç türleri interaksiyonu) verim değerlerinin 93.94-607.2 g 10 kg kütük-1 arasında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. En yüksek (%17) ve en düşük protein (%12) içerikleri sırasıyla sonbahar döneminde aşılanan meşe kütüklerinden ve ilkbahar döneminde aşılanan kayın ağacı kütüklerinden elde edilen mantarlarda belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda misel ekim zamanı ve ağaç türlerinin shiitake mantarının verim ve besin içeriği üzerine etkilerinin önemli olduğu saptanmıştır.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Twin pregnancy combining a complete mole and a normal fetal pregnancy with its own healthy trophoblast is a rare entity.

Case Report: We report the case of a 43-year-old female patient admitted for abnormal uterine bleeding during the 20th week of pregnancy. Pelvic ultrasound showed the combination of a complete hydatidiform mole and a normal fetal pregnancy. The decision to medically terminate the pregnancy was taken after consultation with the family. Examination of the placenta and histological study confirmed the diagnosis of complete hydatidiform mole associated with a normal fetus. The evolution was uneventful.

Conclusion: Twin pregnancy combining a complete mole and a normal fetal pregnancy with its own healthy trophoblast is a rare entity that should not be misdiagnosed. There is still no consensus in terms of therapeutic attitude, the dilemma remains and the decision should always include the couple after a thorough explanation of all the risks.

Published: January 2023

Periphytic algae are part of algal periphyton that are important in the microorganism community in the aquatic systems as they play an essential role as producers in the trophic and aquatic levels. The aim of this study serves to determine the structural differences of periphytic algae communities in both Cipeles River and Cisudajaya River, Sumedang, West Java. Accumulation of periphytic algae colonisation was performed with a number of temperature and light treatments using a square-shaped stone sized 2 cm x 2.5 cm x 1 cm for 28 days. Experiments were carried out with the temperatures set to 30°C and 33°C, as well as light intensities of 1000 lux and 2000 lux. Water as the medium is taken from the Cipeles River and Cisudajaya River. A number of different commercial hydroponic fertilisers as the growth nutrients for the periphytic algae were then added to the media. Once the experiments were fully performed, the results showed structural differences in the periphytic algae community from both Cipeles River and Cisudajaya River water media, where 25 types of periphytic algae from 10 classes were obtained from Cipeles River while the Cisudajaya River had 30 types of periphytic algae from 9 classes. In addition, an increase of colonisation was found in the periphytic algae samples taken from Cipeles River and Cisudajaya River, where they experienced biomass accumulation on Day 14 and Day 28. The optimal temperature for the periphytic algae colonisation in both samples is 30 °C, with the optimal light ranging betwen 1000 lux and 2000 lux

The impacts of livelihood shocks on agrarian population especially the natural resource-dependent smallholder farmers in Nigeria cannot be over-emphasized, as this devastating event renders many farmers vulnerable because of limited adaptive capacity. Therefore, this study examined the vulnerability of agrarian households to livelihood shocks using a sample size of 368 farmers selected from Oyo State, Nigeria, through a multistage sampling technique, and from whom relevant data were elicited. This study applied the livelihood vulnerability index approach, and composite score technique to decipher the vulnerability space of the respondents, and for the ordinal categorization of the respondents into different vulnerability categories, respectively. The study also used proportional odds model to investigate the determinants of livelihood vulnerability from the perspective of adaptive capacity vis-à-vis the livelihood capital assets of the farmers. Findings from the study indicated that farmers suffered heavily from crime and economic related shocks due to the farmers-herdsmen conflict, while covariate and idiosyncratic related stressors were also reported by the farmers. Findings also indicated a high level of farmers’ exposure to shocks, with a moderate sensitivity to shocks, and a low adaptive capacity, which apparently pre-dispose the farmers to a serious vulnerable position. The farmers’ adaptive capacity linkage of the livelihood capital assets were also found to contribute significantly to farmers’ vulnerability status in the study area. The study recommended strengthening of physical, human, natural, social, and financial capital assets in building a sustained adaptive capacity of the farming population.
Arboreal Nesting in the Black-faced Spoonbill (Platalea minor)
Authors: Borzée Amaël , Choi Hyun-Ah , Selige Bernhard , Han Donguk
Published: January 2023

Populations of the Black-faced spoonbill (Platalea minor) declined importantly until the 1990’s, before a slow but consistent increase in population size in response to successful conservation efforts. Specific sites have been specifically designed to be adequate breeding areas for the species, and these land-based locations are successfully used. Here we report on the arboreal nesting of P.minor, a behaviour that is only rarely reported and is not generally present in the scientific literature for the species. A literature search however revealed that all other Platalea species are opportunistic arboreal breeders, and this little observed behaviour in P. minor may be prevalent in specific contexts. Several pairs of P. minor were observed nesting on trees on Yu Islet (37.775°N, 126.534°E), in May 2020 and this behaviour may have consequences for the conservation of the species as it implies that nesting individuals can avoid competition with other ground breeding species, and avoid flooding, a stochastic event having a significant impact on nesting P. minor.

Published: January 2023

The plants growing in cold desert of western Himalaya have inhabited diversified endophytes. These endophytes can provide fitness to plant under harsh environmental situations. In the current study, 22 fungal endophytes isolated from Artemisia and Xerophytic plants growing in the cold desert were screened for thermo-tolerance at different temperature ranges (28, 30 32, 34, 36, 38and 40 oC) under in vitro. The only three isolates viz., A2, A7 and X5 exhibited growth up to 40 oC and identified as Penicilium funiculosum (A2), Ceriporia lacerate (A7) and Endomelanconiopsis endophytica (X5) using ITS region. These endophytes inoculated to rice seedlings and exposed to elevated temperature (45 oC) for 7hr per day for 10 days to study their effect on tolerance of rice to heat stress. The results revealed that endophytes inoculated seedlings showed sustained improvement in shoot and root growth. The E. endophytica was chosen to be the best endophyte to impart heat stress as per Fernandez model. This study suggested that cold desert endophytes could induce heat tolerance in plants.

Authors: Sreelekshmi S.  , Inbaraj R. Moses
Published: January 2023

Environment plays a major role in conditioning the physiological functions of all organisms. Any slight changes in the perceived surroundings bring about behavioural, neurological and occasionally physical changes in the organism. In this study, the main focus was to quantify the neurotransmitter levels in the total brain of zebrafish exposed to different wavelengths of light 300 - 700 nm (daylight), 650 – 700 nm (red) and 450 – 490 nm (blue) within the tanks. HPLC with the PDA detection method was administered to quantify the levels in each group. Serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) were detected in all three groups with 1hr exposure. Dopamine (DA) was less than the detectable level in all groups. Levels of E and NE increased in both red and blue groups compared to the daylight group indicating an acute stress response, while 5-HT levels decreased. Light affects the rhythms and functioning of the brain, this study takes a closer look at monoamine regulation as a response to light stimuli in female zebrafish.

Published: January 2023

Epipremnum aureum belonging to the family Araceae is commonly known as money plant. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of various phytochemical constituents which is responsible for the medicinal properties in aerial parts of the plant. The aerial parts such as leaves, stem and aerial roots were used and successively extracted in three different solvents viz. methanol, ethanol and acetone. The crude extracts of the aerial parts in three solvents were also used for determining antimicrobial activity. Preliminary qualitative phytochemical test for different extract shows the presence of alkaloids, saponins, carbohydrate, glycosides, amino acids and phenol. Among the three extracts methanol extract shows presence of all phytochemicals and shows antimicrobial activity against E.coli, S.aureus, B. subtilis and P.aeurginosa. Ethanol and acetone extract of aerial roots shows 12-13 mm zone of inhibition for E.coli. Thus the positive results suggest that Epipremnum aureum extracts should be further studied to determine the bioactive chemical compounds as well as to understand the possible mechanism of action and evaluate their toxicity looking towards pharmaceutical actions.

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) variety of TAG-24 was selected for the experiment with four treatments namely drip-T1, drip with mulch-T2, mulch-T3 and control-T4. The research objective is to study crop-water requirement, uniformity coefficient, yield attributes such as yield, plant height, root length, number of pods m-2, seed and shell weight m-2. Crop water requirement (CWR) for groundnut crop was calculated as 449.1 mm by CROPWAT 8.0 Software. Experiments were conducted by supplying different amount of water among various treatments such as 100% of CWR in T4, 90% of CWR in T1 & T3 and 80% CWR in T2 respectively. Uniformity coefficient was found as 0.86 for drip irrigation. Highest and lowest yield was reported in T2 as 4.45 t ha-1 and 2.89 t ha-1 in T4. Among all the treatments plant height and root length was reported highest as 52 cm and 48 cm in T2, similarly number of podsm-2, seed and shell weight m-2 were reported highest as 583, 0.47 kg and 0.24 kg in T2 respectively. The yield attributes were observed highest in T2 because of efficient water application at root zone by drip, controlled weed growth and conserved soil moisture by mulch which creates favorable conditions for plant growth.

COVID-19 pandemic struck the world on a large scale and no nation could skip out from. Conforming to this, the authorities worldwide made their concerns public, measuring out those undertaking which were directed toward tackling the consequences of the pandemic. On that account, they delivered speeches and voiced their thoughts on the events in the wake of pandemic judiciously. The article goes through conceptual metaphors by analyzing metaphoric concepts used to describe the events and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic by American and Chinese presidents. The article briefly introduces the theoretical basis of the study from the cognitive approach. Then, the analysis of the chosen material provides the means to evaluate the areas of knowledge that served as a source domain for metaphorically expressing the pandemic. The data accessed prove the pervasiveness of metaphors in two superpower countries’ presidential discourse and their importance for understanding tough situations, effectively influencing the audience. The findings revealed that the most common used source domains in both political discourses are Unity Metaphors, Spatial Metaphors, Object Metaphors and War Metaphors. Nonetheless, American political discourse is much more persuasively and metaphorically expressed than Chinese political discourse.

Published: January 2023

Collaborative governance is acknowledged to provide problem-solving alternatives that are superior to those generated solely by government organizations. It involves various related stakeholders, especially those related to tourism. The integrative processes provide a direct face-to-face alternative by assimilating various items of information, thus resulting in comprehensive and compromised strategic planning. This study aims to understand success stories in collaborative tourism governance and the lessons resulting from obstacles encountered in various contexts, including local, regional, and national. It employs a systematic literature review of 29 related articles published during 2010 to 2021, drawn from various sources, and conducts a bibliometric study to map research trends. The findings indicate that compared with a national context, local and regional contexts tend to have more complex and comprehensive results as more stakeholders are involved in the action scheme. The findings in the national context indicate that only two of the related articles examined in this study explain collaborative tourism governance. Furthermore, comprehensive results are elaborated within those two papers.
Tourism ports of entry and biosecurity preparedness: lessons learned from Ireland
Authors: Melly Domhnall , Hanrahan James
Published: January 2023

This study provides a unique vista of tourism biosecurity preparedness for a destinations’ tourist ports of entry. Existing tourism biosecurity research deals with organisational resilience and tourists’ biosecurity behaviour, however, has not explicitly examined tourism biosecurity preparedness at global or destinations tourist ports of entry levels. To fill this gap, this research utilises twenty-six tourism biosecurity criteria generated from a systematic international literature review to analyse international biosecurity instruments and Irish tourist ports of entry. A mixed-method approach was utilised through content analysis of international biosecurity instruments and Irish tourist ports of entry. A survey and semi-structured interviews were used to support the findings of the content analysis at Irish tourist ports of entry. Analysis determined the Irish tourist ports of entry sampled were severely lacking any provision for tourism biosecurity preparedness. International biosecurity instruments had a necessary level of biosecurity standards; however, a notable omission of tourism that adversely impacts tourism biosecurity preparedness. This research recommends international biosecurity instruments improve capacities for tourism- specific measures. Tourist ports of entry should integrate specific tourism biosecurity measures into passenger operations to ensure greater destination resilience.
Tourist profiles and intra-destination visiting preferences in a mature coastal destination: More than beach
Authors: Domènech Antoni , Paulino Isabel , Miravet Daniel , Gutiérrez Aaron
Published: January 2023

This paper aims to explore if the presence of diverse tourist profiles staying in the same accommodation hub of a mature Mediterranean coastal destination also implies specific intra-destination visiting preferences. The study uses Latent Class Analysis (LCA) to detect tourist profiles according to their socio-demographic and psychographic factors, as well as their trip organisation characteristics. Then, selection corrected estimations are used to focus on the side trips each profile is more willing or reluctant to make from the accommodation hub. Results show a wide range of tourist profiles with a high level of heterogeneity regarding individual characteristics and intra-destination visiting preferences. This provides further understanding of tourist choices at a destination and empirical evidence that allows breaking away from the traditional static, beach-focused view of coastal tourists. In turn, this informs the destination and its stakeholders so that they can apply the appropriate planning, management and branding tools to adapt the destination and its products and services to the different tourism targets. The implementation of this kind of studies and the use of their results by local stakeholders as strategy for diversification and competitiveness growth would make the whole destination more competitive.

Virtuous Aging in Uncanny Moral Worlds
Authors: Louw Maria
Published: January 2023

In Kyrgyzstan, an increasing number of elderly people find themselves left behind by their families. Taking a point of departure in a concept of virtue as relationally constituted through acts of care which bring together persons and other beings in moral worlds, the paper focuses on people who grow older in the absence of their family and discusses how they experience and redefine elderliness and its moral virtues. Absent relatives are present in the ways the homes of the elderly are transformed into uncanny spaces: In layers of dust that are not wiped away; in the sound of silence and in unpaid bills that make the house freezingly cold—but also in the haunting presence of lives the elderly people are unable to live due to the absence of others. In these spaces, I will argue, the ghosts of the past may settle, being hinges to unlived lives and accomplices in the patching up of broken moral worlds. Understanding and caring for the elderly people and their worlds, then, demand taking imagistic steps into the realms of the invisible, the spectral and the possible, recognizing that being is so much more than what actually unfolds.
The Politics of the Near
Authors: Tournadre Jérôme
Published: January 2023

The Politics of the Near invites the reader to explore social unrest in post-apartheid South Africa, but in a somewhat unusual way. Keeping the noise of demonstrations, barricades, and clashes with the police at a distance, this ethnography of a poor people's movement fighting against poor living conditions investigates, in the ordinary social and intimate life of activists, their relatives, and other residents in the townships, everything that sheds light on individual commitments and a number of the mainsprings of mobilization. Such an approach therefore highlights aspects that are often neglected by the study of social movements, even though they help us better understand the dynamics of protest and the attachment of activists to their organization and its cause. Gradually, what takes shape throughout these pages is a “politics of the near,” through sometimes innocuous actions. By plunging alongside these women and men into the daily life of Black and low-income neighborhoods, and that intimate domain where their expectations and disappointments emerge, we discover above all a different perspective on the “rainbow nation”—a perspective more sensitive to the fact that, three decades after the end of apartheid, poverty and race are still as tightly interwoven as ever.
Grammatology of Images
Authors: Weigel Sigrid
Published: January 2023

The book accomplishes a radical reversal of perspective in image theory. Instead of asking for the history, power or essence of images, the author addresses the question of imaging (Bildgebung) as such and the afterlife of the vera-icon-problem in the present quest for true images. It investigates the way in which something a-visible gets transformed into an image. It thus focuses the moment of mis-en-apparition, of making an appearance, and reflects the process of concealment that accompanies any imaging. Departing from Derrida's and Freud's concept of the trace—the traces that “must be thought before the existing” instead of left-behind traces—the focus is on the threshold between traces and iconic images, between something immaterial and its pictorial re/presentation. Whereas the ‘threshold-knowledge’ refers to Benjamin, the cultural-historical perspective refers to Warburg. Theoretical chapters discussing the trace in relation to the line, the index, the effigy, and the cult-image alternate with case studies from the history of science, art, politics, and religion: the face (facial expression as indicators of emotion), caricatures (the distorted physiognomy as effigy of defamation), angels (images and embodiments of transcendental ideas). Her approach to the image-question illuminates fascinating, unexpected correspondences between pre-modern and contemporary image-practices, between the history of religion and modern sciences, before and after ‘art’, as for example: the vera icon-problem in religious pictures and in digital techniques of experimental science, the two body-politics at work in the history of caricatures, or the image of angles as the symptom of the image-question in modern science.
Bench X-ray microtomography of water-salt solution/oil injected into samples of the Botucatu formation
Authors: Marques Leonardo Carmezini , Appoloni Carlos Roberto
Published: January 2023

This paper provides a report on the utilization of the X-ray microtomography to obtain images of the internal microstructure of natural sandstone samples from the Botucatu Formation. Its primary objective was to identify the different phases of fluids when injected into the samples to evaluate the various phases through grayscale histograms obtained from 2-D images, quantification of fluid phases, and generation of 3-D images of them. The fluids used in the experiments comprised one type of commercial oil, one type of industrial oil, and an water-salt solution. Quantitative results from 2-D and 3-D analyzes are presented and compared to the volume of injected solution and the measured volume. The phase size distributions indicated which pore radii had a more relevant participation in the percolation of fluids through the samples. Projections in conjunction with 2-D images and profiles of average percentages of air-filled pores indicated the occurrence of preferential percolation flow paths.  The 2-D images allowed the measurement of the contact angle between the phases present in the sample containing industrial oil. Different measurements taken from the sample containing commercial oil showed capillary effects indicated by the average percentage profiles of air-filled pores in the 2-D images.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea involves obstruction or narrowing of an individual's airway during sleep and is associated with several comorbidities. Management can be surgical or nonsurgical, and Phase II of the Stanford Protocol for surgical management involves maxillomandibular advancement. Objective: It was to carry out a concise systematic review to present the main considerations and clinical results of orthognathic surgery in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from September to November 2022 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 270 articles were found, 47 articles were evaluated and 23 were included in this systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 35 studies at high risk of bias and 125 studies that did not meet the GRADE. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with I2 =95.9% >50%. Maxillomandibular advancement surgery is a successful treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, but there are still concerns about the aesthetic results due to the great advances involved. The bimaxillary advancement osteotomy significantly increases the oropharyngeal volume and constricted surface areas, which remains stable between 6 months to 1 year postoperatively.

Sebagian besar pesantren tradisional sangat mementingkan mata pelajaran Qur’an hadist sebagaimana dalam MA Ma’arif Bangil, karena Qur’an hadist adalah salah satu materi pembelajaran di Madrasah tersebut Qur’an hadist merupakan suatu ilmu yang sangat penting untuk di pelajari dipahami , dimengerti dan diamalkan dalam kehidupan baik di sekolah maupun di masyarakat . Kebanyakan metode yang digunakan dalam pembelajran Qur’an Hadistdi Madrasah Aliyah Ma’arif Bangil cenderung monotonyang mengakibatkan pembelajaran Qur’an Hadist kurang diminati. Hal  ini dapat terlihat dengan banyaknya penggunaan cara atau metode-metode pembelajaran tradisional. Keberhasilan suatu metode ditunjang dengan adanya susasana atau lingkungan pembelajaran yang kondusif dan juga didukung dengan adanya kemampuan guru dalam memilih,mengolah,serta menerapkan suatu metode pembelajaran.Penulis menggunakan teori metode penelitian oleh Nasution,Meleong,Mantja dan Nasution bahder. Dan adapun hasil penelitian adalah sebagai berikut: a)tentang profil madrasah MA Ma’arif bangil,b)Strategi kepemimpinan , c)motto pembelajaran qur’an Hadist,d)faktor-faktor penghambat dan pendukung.
