The incidence of COVID-19 in children and toddlers in Indonesia is still under monitoring, especially when the government implemented a Face-to-Face Meeting for the first one in July 2021. The most significant percentage figures are shown in children aged 0-2 years, then the age group 3-6 years and 16-18 years. Transmission occurs due to direct patient contact, especially in adults who transmit it to children. It needs the role of parents, in this case, mothers, to be a pioneer for families to prevent COVID-19 in children. This service aims to increase the mother's knowledge about COVID-19 disease in children and prevent COVID-19 illness in children. Devotional methods are lectures, Q&A, and demonstrations. To find out the increase in expertise using pre-test knowledge test and post-test. The result was an increase in knowledge in mothers before the extension of maternal knowledge; on average, the value of 66.92, and after counseling, knowledge to 86.15. It is necessary to do similar activities to continue to increase maternal expertise so that the degree of health increases and the number of COVID-19 spread decreases.

Blind women often experience discrimination in obtaining public services, such as securing access to health services. Most healthcare facilities they visit during pregnancy do not have information media they can read at home, such as the MCH book for pregnant women who do not have vision problems. In 2020, the service team developed reproductive health education media for blind mothers in Braille. Therefore, the solution we offer to partners is to provide health education using the book Suluh Bina Netra Healthy Reproductive Braille, which we have developed to increase mothers' knowledge about pregnancy check-ups. The methods used in this community service include the lecture method, question and answer, and discussion and practice. The aim is to provide health education to increase the understanding of blind women. The activity was carried out from July 31 to August 15, 2021, with 14 blind mothers. There was an increase in the score on the post-test after the client was given education about pregnancy checks using books, from an average of 3.14 to 5.43. Blind mothers were also satisfied with the activities carried out with an average score for material quality, namely 4.78, media 4.64, and activity benefits 4.78. The output of this activity is an increase in client knowledge after receiving education: the average post-test score increases, the intellectual property rights registration number EC00202185546 on October 14, 2021, and this book has also been launched directly by the Mayor of Padang on December 2, 2021, with a news link https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=270755855084449&id=100064501097230&sfnsn=wiwspwa

Meat comprises of important nutrients for human body. As population of human increases, the demand for meat also keeps increasing. Therefore, a new alternative is introduced by inventing a cultured meat obtained from the outer side of the animal's body and became the rumours in the 1930s. In spite of that, the idea of cultured meat invention was only realized in 2013 by a Dutch scientist which was invented a burger-shaped cultured beef. However, this invention did not exist in the time of the Prophet, his companions and the tābi'īn and it becomes a polemic among the Muslim community regarding of its halal status nowadays. The existence of cultured meat in the current society needs a clear explanation and procedure in fiqh because it is one of the new discoveries in food industry. This study is important as to provide a good understanding and new knowledge to the Muslim society. A clear fiqh approaches will give guidelines to the society whether considering it as a staple or alternative diet. Otherwise, they may avoid to consume cultured meat product as a precaution from haram and uncertainty (shubhah) and also may ensure of the purity of soul abreast with the main objective in sufism’s live. This study used qualitative descriptive research method by analyzing some previous studies as secondary sources that have been recorded elsewhere, processed, printed and disseminated to the public. The results found that cultured meat is a new discovery in Malaysia. Although the original law for this cultured meat is halal law, if it does not meet the shariah principles and criteria, it is considered haram. This review paper highlights on the halal status of cultured meat from fiqh and sufism in terms of the transformative form of Allah’s creation. Based on the primary sources of fiqh and sufism, the status of cultured meat is considered halal provided if in the condition of shortage of meat is affected the needs of population and also it causes no harm to people to consume as to enhance the prosperity of human beings. Further research must also be done to verify that it is also tayyiban and fulfils the maqasid in Islamic nutrition and the effects of consumption to consumers.

Published: January 2023

Hoy en día, la sensibilidad de los medios y el tema de los niños está aumentando debido al hecho de que pasamos tanto tiempo con el contenido de los medios, que la audiencia infantil es vulnerable a los medios y que aún no han adquirido la capacidad de distinguir entre lo que es bien y lo que está mal. En este punto, se ha convertido en una necesidad para los padres crear patrones de modelos a seguir correctos sobre cómo usar los medios de comunicación al guiar a sus hijos. El tema de cómo los niños deben defenderse contra el contenido dañino de los medios de comunicación se ha discutido desde el pasado hasta el presente. Por supuesto, la masa infantil también debe crear un área de defensa contra los medios, aprender qué es ficción y qué es real, y no debe aceptar cada contenido que ve en los medios tal como es, y debe tomar la tarea de confirmar de diferentes fuentes. de una edad temprana. Este estudio señala que, especialmente en el mundo digital, existen algunas reglas que debemos obedecer en cuanto a respetar los derechos de los demás y la necesidad de que cada individuo no actúe como desea. Estas reglas son las reglas que deben adquirirse desde la infancia. Así como en la vida diaria, las personas deben obedecer algunas reglas para vivir en el respeto, el amor y la unión, deben obedecer algunas reglas mientras se mueven en el mundo digital.
El trabajo justo: uno de los principales retos para las organizaciones del siglo XXI

Published: January 2023

La Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) y la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) abogan por el logro de un trabajo justo y, lentamente, las organizaciones (aunque no todas) muestran interés en ofrecer a su capital humano trabajos más adaptados a sus necesidades y motivaciones. La actividad turística, uno de los principales sectores económicos mundiales empleadores, no cuenta con una definición globalmente aceptada del concepto trabajo justo. Es por esta razón, que la presente investigación, busca definir el concepto de trabajo justo y evaluar el grado de conocimiento de la Certificación de Hoteles Responsables de Trabajo Justo (HJLR) de los empleados y de las empleadas del sector hotelero. Se utiliza una metodología mixta para analizar los datos primarios del estudio de caso de la ciudad de Barcelona. Para ello, se lleva a cabo una encuesta a empleados de base del sector hotelero, y por otro lado, se realizan entrevistas en profundidad con directivos de diferentes departamentos de hoteles de la ciudad condal. Los resultados ilustran, por un lado, que el trabajo justo es el que posibilita el bienestar personal y profesional del empleado, y, por otro lado, que la implementación real de iniciativas como las certificaciones HJLR es poco efectiva y acaban siendo estrategias de socialwashing.

The study investigated the performance of individual classification societies in the Abuja Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Port States Control (PSC) with a view to providing empirical evidence and information on the levels and rates of change of inspected ships, detained ships, and deficient ships recorded by PSC Officers for ships certified and classed by individual classification societies. The study estimated the average deficiency to inspection ratio (ADIR) and mean detention to inspection ratio (MDIR) for ships certified and classed by identified individual classification societies in the Abuja MoU regime. Secondary data covering the period between 2015 and 2020 sourced from the database of the Abuja MoU administration was used. The findings indicated that Germanischer Lloyds, CCS-China, KRS-Korea, NNK-Japan, RMRS-Russia, Lloyds Register, London, Bureau Veritas, Det Norsk Veritas, ABS-USA, and RINA-Italy have better performance with regards to maritime safety in the Abuja MoU regime, as shown by the MDIR scores. Thus, they dominated ship-owners’ preference for ship classification in West and Central African waters between 2015 and 2020. The trend of ship detention following compromised seaworthiness in the jurisdiction of the Abuja MoU on PSC for vessels certified by the International Naval Survey Bureau (INSB), CCS-China, Germanischer Lloyds (GL), International Register of Ships, Lloyds Register of Ships (LR), and NKK-Japan have negative coefficients of average rate of change, which indicates a decreasing trend in the number of vessels detained between 2015 and 2020; the rest of the classification societies, with positive coefficients of average rate of change, show an increasing trend in the number of ships detained for deficiencies that compromised seaworthiness; classified and registered by each classification society. Vessels classified by GL with ADIR of 0.034 (3.4 %) showed the least likelihood of having safety defaults and deficiency. It is recommended that the performance of poorly performing classification societies in upholding maritime safety standards should be improved. This implies that classification societies with average deficiency to inspection ratios (ADIR) of higher than 0.10 (10 %) should be reduced, while classification societies with mean detention to inspection ratios (MDIR) of 0.01 (1 %) and higher should be reduced.

Published: January 2023

Irrigation pumps operated by diesel and electricity are commonly used for irrigated rice cultivation, but fuel cost expansion and doubtful accessibility of power hampers the continuous irrigation. A solar pump would be an alternative option for irrigation to contribute in expanding rice production and food security to the growing population. Field experiments were conducted at Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Gazipur, farm during Boro season from January May in 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively to determine the economic feasibility of a low cost 1.5 Horsepower (hp ) capacity solar irrigation pump for rice cultivation. BRRI dhan63 was tested under four irrigation treatments as flood irrigation (continuous standing water at 7 cm depth above the soil surface), 3 cm irrigation at saturation level, 3 cm irrigation in AWD (alternate wetting and drying) practice, and 5 cm irrigation in AWD practice. The CROPWAT 8.0 model was used to ascertain crop water requirement (CWR) and irrigation requirement of each rice growth phase in each year using weather data. In 3 cm irrigation in AWD practice, about 1.0 ha of paddy field can be irrigated with the 1.5 hp solar pump without any or a few water deficits in reproductive and ripening phases. In both years, rice yield did not differ among the irrigation treatments. The benefit-cost ratio was 1.09, 1.18 and 1.02 for Aman, mustard and Boro season respectively. A 1.5 hp solar pump is the best feasible when it is used yearround for three or more crops. Although solar pump irrigation system involved higher initial cost, it was found economically sound and environment friendly. Thus, proper policy support is required to encourage solar power utilization for irrigation.

Rice-based Cropping System Intensification in the Coastal Saline area of Bangladesh: Problems and Prospects
Authors: Paul P L C , Roy D , Mahmud M N H , Hossain M B , Yesmin M S , Kundu P K , Islam M T
Published: January 2023

The coastal zone environment of Bangladesh is characterised geographically by river deltas and estuaries, where tidal and riverine flooding and varying salinity levels affect agriculture and livelihoods. In this area, the land and agricultural productivity is very low because of several constraints, particularly waterlogging, high salinity of soil and water, freshwater scarcity for crop irrigation and natural disaster. In this review, the objectives are to focus on the limiting factors for crop intensifying and highlighting the opportunities to increase coastal agriculture while enhancing farmer’s livelihoods. Some recent studies demonstrated many opportunities for increasing cropping systems that have not yet been exploited extensively. Rainwater or low saline river water storing in the internal canal can fulfil the water requirement for dry season rice and non-rice crops, thereby increasing growth and yield. Early establishment of “Rabi” crops (non-rice) can utilize maximum low-saline soil water and escape high salinity/drought or heat/storms at later period of the growing stages, but this early sown Rabi crops needs early harvest of Aman rice around 15-30 days earlier than farmer practices. Moreover, early sowing by zero tilled dibbling (such as sunflower, maize, wheat, and potato) in wet soils results in higher yield potential. Using rice straw mulch ~5 t ha-1 has been shown to be highly beneficial for ameliorating soil constraints. A recent study revealed that straw mulch application on soil surface increased soil water and soil solute potential in the upper root zone, reduced soil salinity, soil strength, and cracking which attributed to higher yield. Considering the successful dry season crop establishment and yield potential requires early drainage to remove excess soil water and a drainage system that mitigates waterlogging from heavy rainfall events during the growing season. We expect this review will facilitate the future research planning and execution in this vulnerable coastal environment.

Physical measurement of hydrological processes through soil profile is very complicated and timeconsuming. Complex and coupled physical processes like water movement with soil matric potential in puddled paddy field can be simulated using physical process-based model HYDRUS 1D. The model simulation was setup for the multilayered (different soil materials at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth) paddy fields having continuous flooded irrigation (CFI) practice and water saving Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) practice. Measured soil physical properties of three Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) regional station farms (Kushtia, Sirajganj, and Rangpur) were used as model input, initial and boundary conditions configuration. The model was calibrated and validated using the water data of a dry season field experiment in Kushtia. The calibrated (RMSE of 0.54 cm, d of 0.94, NSE of 0.89) water level data validated successfully with observed water level data of AWD practiced paddy field (d of 0.95, NSE of 0.92). Soil water content reached the threshold/critical level in AWD practice (-101 cm of water soil matric potential at 15 cm soil depth) earlier in light textured soil (loam or sandy loam) compared to heavy textured soil (clay). The physical properties of the layered soils (i.e., soil particle size distribution and soil water release curve, SWRC) did not affect much on water movement in CFI practice, but it had substantial impact on field water movement under AWD practice. The change in soil water storage followed the general trend for respective soil water holding and releasing capacity, clay soil was heavier and released water slowly than that of loam or sandy loam soils. The positive water flux above 15 cm of soil profile mainly drove the water flow due to evapotranspiration and soil water and pressure distribution along the soil profile while the negative fluxes below 15 cm of soil depth due to infiltration or percolation contributed as a secondary force. A basic understanding of HYDRUS simulated results would lead to realize the total physiohydrological environment in the paddy field.

Authors: Hosen MI , Hoque MN , Rahim MA , Hannan A , Biswas T , Akter K
Published: January 2023

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most popular vegetable crops in Bangladesh. The production of this crop in open field is constrained by major pests like fruit borer, yellow striped armyworm and caterpillar. A pest exclusion net (PEN) experiment was carried out to assess the performance of seven varieties of tomato through growth, yield and pest occurrence. The two-factor experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three conditions viz. under net without pesticide, no net with pesticide, no net without pesticide and three replications. Data were analyzed with MSTAT-Cv. 2.1 software package and means were separated by Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) at 1% level of significance. The result revealed that crop under PEN had maximum plant height (98.47±1.02 cm), inflorescence number per plant (20.34±0.06), open flowers number per plant (69.34±2.02), fruit number per plant (43.12±0.03), individual fruit weight (49.70±0.02 g), gross yield (50.76±1.06 tons/ha) whereas no net with or without pesticide condition produced the minimum above traits. However, most of the parameters showed decreasing trend under no net condition except pest incidence. This study shows that the use of PEN protect tomato against pests, increases growth and yield which can be considered as a viable technology for tomato production by marginal farmers of Bangladesh.

Technology has greatly influenced education in the twenty-first century. Multimodal teaching is one of many classroom methods brought by technology. However, only a few studies have been conducted on how to create a multimodal pedagogy to assist EFL students in enhancing their language skills. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of high school English students regarding the integration of multimodality into English classroom practices. Participation in this study was determined using a random sample. Data was gathered from 100 high school students in SMA Panjura, Malang. These students have experienced using multimodal in their learning process for six weeks. In this research, a quantitative method with a survey research design was chosen. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24 and the data was presented descriptively. The study revealed that the majority of students had a positive attitude toward the implementation of multimodality in their learning process in response to the characteristics of current students.

Language plays a crucial part in the foundation of communication in daily life and academic activity. Learning an additional language such as English in school is very important. Mastery of English grammar is required to compose a word or sentence in English.  It takes grammar proficiency to create words or phrases in English. Students in class X IIK 2 MA Bustanul Muta'allimin comprise the study's sample population. Most of the students in this class had trouble putting simple sentences together. According to the results of the needs analysis, the result of the questionnaires, 77% of the students had difficulties constructing their simple sentences in English. Furthermore, 80% of the 13 samples indicated they wished to learn using engaging media. This research was conducted aiming to develop learning media in teaching grammar. The ADDIE model design, created by Dick and Carry in 1996, is used in this research process, known as research and development (R&D). There are five steps in this development that are following the ADDIE model, that is Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The result of media expert validation and material expert validation achieved scores of 80.26% and 68.05%, respectively. A score of 76% was obtained when the questionnaire about using learning media was completed by student respondents. Flashcard media have a level of validity that makes them appropriate for usage, according to the result of expert validation and student response. As a result, this learning media is used effective tool for increasing students' interest in studying.

Authors: ERCEVAHİR Mine
Published: January 2023

Konkordato, elinde olmayan nedenlerle ekonomik ve malî durumu bozulmuş borçluları korumak amacıyla kabul edilmiş ve iflâsa göre hafifletilmiş bir cebri icra müessesesidir. Konkordato ile borçluya, ekonomik ve malî durumu çerçevesinde, borçlarını yeniden yapılandırma imkânı sunulmaktadır.

Konkordato projesi, alacaklıların kanunda belirtilen çoğunluğu ile kabul edilmiş olsa dahi, süreç içerisinde birtakım nedenlerle, iyi niyetle sürdürülmesi amaçlanan konkordato sürecinden beklenen yararın sağlanamadığı durumlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. 7101 sayılı Kanun’un 37. maddesi ile İcra ve İflas Kanunu’na eklenen 308/e ve 308/f maddeleri uyarınca bu durumlarda alacaklıların konkordatoyla bağlı olma zorunluluğu kaldırılmış ve alacaklılara konkordatonun feshi imkânı tanınmıştır.

Çalışmamızın başında konkordato kavramı kısaca ele alınmış, devamında ise konkordato şartlarının tam ve gereği gibi yerine getirilmemesi nedeniyle alacaklının konkordatonun kendisi bakımından sona erdirilmesini talep ettiği kısmen fesih ve borçlunun konkordatonun tasdikini kötü niyetli davranışlarıyla sağlaması durumunda tüm alacaklılar tarafından tamamen feshi ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır.

Amaç: Kanser, vücuttaki hücrelerin kontrolsüz çoğalması ile gelişen bir hastalık olup anormal ve kontrolsüzce büyüyen hücreler ile karakterizedir. Kanser insidansı gün geçtikçe artarken, kanser tanı ve tedavisindeki yeni yaklaşımlar da büyük önem kazanmaktadır. Kanser tanısı amacıyla sıklıkla anatomik görüntüleme teknikleri ve nükleer görüntüleme sistemleri kullanılmaktadır. Kanser tedavisinde ise geleneksel yaklaşımların (cerrahi, radyoterapi, kemoterapi) yanı sıra son zamanlarda hedefe yönelik yaklaşımlar da kullanılmaktadır. Kanser tedavisindeki hedefe yönelik yaklaşımlar çoğunlukla küçük moleküllü tirozin kinaz inhibitörleri ve monoklonal antikorları içermektedir. Monoklonal antikorlar ilk olarak antijenle immünize edilmiş farelerin B hücreleri ve miyelom kanser hücrelerinin oluşturduğu hibridomlardan elde edilmiştir. Çoğunlukla, biyolojik materyallerin tanısı, saflaştırılması ve analizlerinde, kanserin tanısı ve tedavisinde ve organ nakillerinde doku reddinin önlenmesinde kullanılmaktadır. Monoklonal antikorların eldesinin az zaman alması ve az maliyetli olması, monoklonal antikorlara büyük avantaj sağlamaktadır. Bu avantajlarının yanında araştırmalar doğrultusunda farklı yan etkiler saptanmış olsa da hedefe spesifik oluşları ve diğer avantajlarından dolayı monoklonal antikorlar günümüzde çokça rağbet görmektedir. Sonuç ve Tartışma: Monoklonal antikorlar ve beraberinde kanser tanı ve tedavisi araştırmaları günümüzde devam etmekle beraber bu konu tıp bilimi açısından önem taşıyan ve merak edilen bir konu olma özelliğini devam ettirmektedir. Bu derlemede kısaca kanser tanısı ve tedavisinde sıklıkla kullanılan monoklonal antikorlar ve hedeflerinden, etki mekanizmalarından ve klinik kullanımlarından bahsedilecektir.

Objective: In this study, toxic effects of Roundup, one of the most common glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs), were assessed on human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B).

Material and Method: MTT and neutral red uptake assays were implemented for evaluation of cell viability at 24 and 48 h. Apoptosis detection was made by Muse analyzer while Hoechst staining was employed to detect apoptotic nuclear changes. In addition, dichlorofluorescein diacetate assay was used for the assessment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation.

Result and Discussion: Similar half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were obtained from cytotoxicity assays. Results showed that significant reduction in the viability of BEAS-2B cells started to occur from 200 µM at 24 h and 50 µM at48 h treatment times. Roundup treatments for both time points were found to dose-dependently cause apoptosis and were also observed to induce cellular ROS formation. These findings suggest that GBHs can stimulate ROS production, as well as apoptosis on healthy human lung cells which is important considering inhalation is one of the primary exposure routes to these group of chemicals.
Asthma: Diagnosis and Treatment

Published: January 2023

Asthma is an obstructive lung disease affecting >230 million people worldwide and a significant cause of morbidity in patients of all ages. It is a heterogeneous disease with a complex pathophysiology and phenotype. Diagnosis is made with thorough history-taking and physical examination, and the condition is characterised by variable airflow obstruction and airway hyper-responsiveness. Understanding the severity of the disease is important, and treatment is aimed at symptom control and the prevention of future exacerbations. Pharmacologic treatment with beta-agonists for intermittent asthma and inhaled corticosteroids and a combination of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-2 agonists for persistent asthma are recommended. Additional and alternative treatments with leukotriene modifiers, anticholinergics, biologics, and bronchial thermoplasty are also available. However, understanding an individual’s disease phenotype, endotype, and comorbidities is necessary for asthma treatment, with appropriate consultation with asthma specialists required for those with severe asthma.
Discovering Asthma Paradigms in an Evolving Landscape: Expert Perspectives
Authors: Scutt Paul
Published: January 2023

This symposium took place during the 2018 European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in Paris, France and focussed on the disease burden associated with uncontrolled persistent asthma, particularly that driven by Type 2 inflammation; the impact of Type 2 cytokines on the pathophysiology of asthma and other Type 2 inflammatory diseases; current approaches to the assessment and management of uncontrolled persistent asthma; and future aspirations for treatment. Dr Kraft discussed the epidemiology, disease burden, and unmet medical needs of patients with uncontrolled persistent asthma. These patients have an increased risk of exacerbations, morbidity, mortality, and disease progression. Many patients have evidence of Type 2 inflammation, which constitutes a heavy disease burden and is further impacted by Type 2 inflammatory comorbidities. Prof Busse considered how Type 2 inflammation drives the key pathophysiologic characteristics of asthma. Persistent Type 2 inflammation and airway remodelling contribute to a self-perpetuating vicious cycle of exacerbations and progressive loss of lung function, and, therefore, impact disease progression. Targeting specific Type 2 inflammatory pathway cytokines reduces the pathophysiological impact of asthma and other Type 2 inflammatory comorbidities. Prof Pavord examined the current thinking around the management of uncontrolled persistent asthma driven by Type 2 inflammation. Despite recent advances in patient management, unmet needs remain. Of note, biologics have limitations and some patients are ineligible for currently vailable treatments.
Noninvasive Ventilation: Challenges and Pitfalls
Authors: Dilken Olcay , Erdogan Elif , Dikmen Yalim
Published: January 2023

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is frequently used in patients with acute respiratory failure and its success is dependent on the underlying cause of the condition. When used for cases with a more rapid, reversible nature, like cardiogenic pulmonary oedema or acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, early intervention before patient deterioration is a key factor in success. Gastric distention-associated anastomose leakage after bariatric surgery is overestimated and the success of NIV trials in patients with encephalopathy has a strong association with the triggering cause rather than the severity of a coma. Immunocompromised patients mostly benefit from a short period of ventilation and more invasive ventilation is associated with excessively high mortality independent of the cause. In other diseases with parenchyma inflammation or infection, little success with NIV has been shown. Limiting ventilator-induced lung injury in these patients is another issue and is mostly achieved with heavy sedation or paralysis. Since NIV failure increases the risk of mortality, determination of a failing patient is of paramount importance. Clinical and laboratory surrogates of muscle fatigue can also be assessed. Adequate pressure support and positive end-expiratory pressure levels vary and the haemodynamic status of the patients must be considered. Ventilator–patient asynchrony increases NIV failure. Unfit interfaces also result in asynchrony, which will inevitably lead to failure, and observing waveforms can address this issue. The aims of this review were to understand the mechanism of NIV that leads to its failure or success, to become aware that delaying the appropriate therapy increases mortality, and to elucidate that spontaneous breathing can be a double-edged sword in some circumstances.
