Routine postoperative fluid restriction to prevent syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion after transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma
Authors: Snyder M. Harrison , Asuzu David T. , Shaver Dawn E. , Vance Mary Lee , Jane John A.
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a common problem during the postoperative course after pituitary surgery. Although treatment of this condition is well characterized, prevention strategies are less studied and reported. The authors sought to characterize outcomes and predictive factors of SIADH after implementation of routine postoperative fluid restriction for patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma.

METHODS

In March 2018, routine postoperative fluid restriction to 1000 ml/day for 7 days was instituted for all patients who underwent surgery for pituitary adenoma. These patients were compared with patients who underwent surgery for pituitary adenoma between March 2016 and March 2018, prior to implementation of routine fluid restriction. Patients with preoperative history of diabetes insipidus (DI) or concern for postsurgical DI were excluded. Patients were followed by neuroendocrinologists and neurosurgeons, and sodium levels were checked between 7 and 10 days postoperatively. SIADH was defined by a serum sodium level less than 136 mmol/L, with or without symptoms within 10 days after surgery. Thirty-day readmission was recorded and reviewed to determine underlying reasons.

RESULTS

In total, 82 patients in the fluid-unrestricted cohort and 135 patients in the fluid-restricted cohort were analyzed. The patients in the fluid-restricted cohort had a significantly lower rate of postoperative SIADH than patients in the fluid-unrestricted cohort (5% vs 15%, adjusted OR [95% CI] 0.1 [0.0–0.6], p = 0.01). Higher BMI was associated with lower rate of postoperative SIADH (adjusted OR [95%] 0.9 [0.9–1.0], p = 0.03), whereas female sex was associated with higher rate of SIADH (adjusted OR [95% CI] 3.1 [1.1–9.8], p = 0.03). There was no difference in the 30-day readmission rates between patients in the fluid-unrestricted and fluid-restricted cohorts (4% vs 7%, adjusted OR [95% CI] 0.5 [0–5.1], p = 0.56). Thirty-day readmission was more likely for patients with history of hypertension (adjusted OR [95% CI] 5.7 [1.3–26.3], p = 0.02) and less likely for White patients (adjusted OR [95% CI] 0.3 [0.1–0.9], p = 0.04).

CONCLUSIONS

Routine fluid restriction reduced the rate of SIADH in patients who underwent surgery for pituitary adenoma but was not associated with reduction in 30-day readmission rate.
Paramedian transparietal approach to a dominant hemisphere intraventricular meningioma: illustrative case
Authors: Andrews John P. , Arora Tarun , Theodosopoulos Philip , Berger Mitchel S.
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Meningiomas of the atrium of the lateral ventricle present a unique operative challenge. Parietal transcortical approaches have been described with an oblique approach, but a strictly paramedian approach may offer advantages in a dominant hemisphere atrial meningioma.

OBSERVATIONS

The patient presented with several weeks of intermittent headaches. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an enhancing intraventricular mass in the atrium of the left lateral ventricle. Three-dimensional reconstructions were created from a preoperative MRI, with 1-mm slices for neuronavigation. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was obtained, and tracts were reconstructed in the patient’s three-dimensional brainspace. DTI tractography delineated a paramedian transparietal corridor devoid of functional white matter tracks. The patient was positioned supine, in a semislouch position. A left parietal craniotomy was performed. Neuronavigation identified a gyrus posterior to the sensory cortex, anterior to the optic radiations and medial to superior longitudinal and arcuate fasciculus fiber tracts. The tumor was debulked to allow mobilization to coagulate capsular blood supply. Gross total resection was achieved. The patient was discharged postoperatively on day 3 without neurological deficits.

LESSONS

A paramedian transparietal approach to a dominant hemisphere meningioma of the lateral ventricle can be a safe and effective way to resect tumors in this anatomically unique operative corridor.
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension secondary to congenital spinal dural ectasia and genetic mosaicism for tetrasomy 10p: illustrative case
Authors: Nisson Peyton L. , Schreck Rhona , Graham John M. , Maya Marcel M. , Schievink Wouter I.
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension has historically been a poorly understood pathology that is often unrecognized and undertreated. Even more rarely has it been described in pediatric patients with an otherwise benign past medical history.

OBSERVATIONS

Herein the authors describe one of the youngest patients ever reported, a 2-year-old girl who developed severe headaches, nausea, and vomiting and experienced headache relief after lying down. Imaging revealed tonsillar herniation 14 mm below the foramen magnum, presumed to be a Chiari malformation, along with extensive dural cysts starting from thoracic level T2 down to the sacrum. She was found to have streaky skin pigmentary variation starting from the trunk down to her feet. Genetic analysis of skin biopsies revealed mosaicism for an isodicentric marker chromosome (10p15.3–10q11.2 tetrasomy) in 27%–50% of cells. After undergoing a suboccipital and cervical decompression at an outside institution, she continued to be symptomatic. She was referred to the authors’ hospital, where she was diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

LESSONS

After receiving a series of epidural blood patches, the patient experienced almost complete relief of her symptoms. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time this chromosomal anomaly has ever been reported in a living child, and this may represent a new genetic association with dural ectasia.
Human herpesvirus DNA occurrence in intracranial aneurysmal wall: illustrative case

Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Subarachnoid hemorrhages secondary to intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are events of high mortality. These neurological vascular diseases arise from local and systemic inflammation that culminates in vessel wall changes. They may also have a possible relationship with chronic viral infections, such as human herpesvirus (HHV), and especially Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), which causes several medical conditions. This is the first description of the presence of HHV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in a patient with IA.

OBSERVATIONS

A 61-year-old woman with a downgraded level of consciousness underwent radiological examinations that identified a 10-mm ruptured aneurysm in the anterior communicating artery. A microsurgery clip was performed to definitively treat the aneurysm and occurred without surgical complications. Molecular analysis of the material obtained revealed the presence of EBV DNA in the aneurysm wall. The patient died 21 days after admission due to clinical complications and brain swelling.

LESSONS

This is the first description of the presence of herpesvirus DNA in a patient with IA, presented in 2.8% of our data. These findings highlight that viral infection may contribute to the pathophysiology and is an additional risk factor for IA formation, progression, and rupture by modulating vessel wall inflammation and structural changes in chronic infections.
Providencia rettgeri infection complicating cranial surgery: illustrative cases
Authors: Sapkota Shabal , Karn Mitesh , Regmi Sanjib Mani , Thapa Sushma , Miya Farhan Uddin , Yonghang Sapana
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Providencia rettgeri is a rare cause of nosocomial infection in humans. These organisms are capable of biofilm production and are intrinsically resistant to commonly used antibiotics, leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality. P. rettgeri may very rarely cause postneurosurgical infection.

OBSERVATIONS

In this report, the authors describe two patients in whom P. rettgeri infection complicated the postoperative course. Both the patients underwent craniotomy at approximately the same time under similar environments. The organism isolated was resistant to most of the commonly used antibiotics, and therapy tailored to the results of susceptibility testing led to resolution of infection in both cases.

LESSONS

P. rettgeri is a rare cause of postneurosurgical nosocomial infection. Timely identification and early tailoring of antibiotic therapy based on susceptibility testing is the key to treatment. Every effort should be made to identify the source of infection and rectify it so that mortality, morbidity, and financial burden are reduced. Contact isolation and use of sterile gloves after each patient contact are effective in preventing its spread, as in most cases of nosocomial infection.
Malignant ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of the calvaria: illustrative case
Authors: Hachmann Jan T. , Graham R. Scott
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare entity of soft tissue tumor that most commonly occurs in the subcutaneous tissues of trunk or extremities with occasional cases involving the head and neck; however, primary involvement of the skull has not been reported. While historically considered slow-growing benign to intermediate malignant, few cases of atypical or malignant features have been described.

OBSERVATIONS

Herein, the authors present a case of malignant OFMT with primary skull and transcranial extension. The tumor caused lytic calvarial destruction with intra- and extracranial soft tissue components. Gross total resection was performed, and histopathology revealed malignant OFMT with 40 mitoses per 50 high-power fields and moderate nuclear atypia.

LESSONS

OFMT can rarely occur in the head and neck and, as reported herein, may involve the skull with intracranial extension. While no uniformly recognized histological criteria for malignancy exist, a three-tiered classification has been proposed: typical, atypical, and malignant, based on features such as hypercellularity, mitotic activity, infiltrative growth, and/or nuclear atypia. Malignant variants should be considered along the high-grade sarcoma spectrum with elevated risk for recurrence or metastatic spread. Routine adjuvant radiotherapy is not typically recommended; however, surveillance imaging is advised.
Duroplasty in iatrogenic dorsal spinal cord herniation: illustrative case
Authors: Ogbu Ikenna , Eltoukhy Mohamed , Tzerakis Nikolaos
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

The case report detailed an unusual presentation of an iatrogenic dorsal cord herniation at the level of the thoracic cord after insertion of an epidural catheter 8 months before presentation to the neurosurgical clinic.

OBSERVATIONS

Only 13 cases of iatrogenic dorsal cord herniation, most of which occurred after spinal surgery, have been described in the literature. This was the first case of a spinal cord hernia described after the insertion of an epidural catheter. In this case study, the authors described a 38-year-old man who presented with progressive lower limb weakness, sensory deficits, perianal numbness, and urinary/fecal incontinence. He was diagnosed with a spinal cord hernia that reherniated after an initial sandwich duroplasty repair. Definitive repair was made after his re-presentation using an expansile duroplasty.

LESSONS

In patients with previous spinal instrumentation who present with neurological symptoms, spinal cord herniation should be considered a likely differential despite its rarity. In this case, a simple duroplasty was insufficient to provide full resolution of symptoms and was associated with recurrence. Perhaps a combination of graft and expansile duroplasty may be used for repair, especially when associated with a tethered cord and in the presence of significant adhesions.
Pro-Constitutional Interpretation of Statutes. A Few Remarks Related to the Dispute about Judicial Activism
Authors: Kaczmarczyk Hubert
Published: August 2021

The article presents an opinion in the discussion on the limits of judicial activism. The active attitude of judges in the law-making process according to the so-called concept of ‘pro-constitutional interpretation of the law’ can be observed more and more often. While we may agree with the view that the role of a judge is to pronounce a fair verdict based on the applicable law and judges may give meaning to statutory provisions supplemented with an axiology of the Constitution, the problem appears with particular sharpness when such a pro-constitutional interpretation leads to a specific application of the provisions contra legem.
Information Pollution in a Digital and Polarized World as a Challenge to Human Rights Protection – the Council of Europe’s Approach
Authors: Jaskiernia Alicja
Published: August 2021

Information pollution in a digitally connected and increasingly polarized world, the spread of disinformation campaigns aimed at shaping public opinion, trends of foreign electoral interference and manipulation, as well as abusive behaviour and the intensification of hate speech on the internet and social media are the phenomenon which concern international public opinion. These all represent a challenge for democracy, and in particular for the electoral processes affecting the right to freedom of expression, including the right to receive information, and the right to free elections. It is a growing international effort to deal with these problems. Among international organizations engaged to seek solutions is the Council of Europe (CoE). The author analyses CoE’s instruments, legally binding (as European Convention on Human Rights), as well of the character of “soft law”, especially resolution of the CoE’s Parliamentary Assembly 2326 (2020) Democracy hacked? How to respond? She exposes the need for better cooperation of international organizations and states’ authorities in this matter.
United States Supreme Court Approach to First Amendment Freedom of Religion in Response to the COVID Pandemic
Authors: Swenson Delaine Russell
Published: August 2021

The 2020-21 Covid 19 Pandemic has raised many legal challenges as governments world-wide have struggled to deal with the public health and safety challenges of Covid. At the center of many of these decisions is the need to balance public health protections against other rights that have been infringed by legislation related to Covid Pandemic restrictions. One of the most important rights that have been implicated by Covid restrictions in the United States has been in the area of restrictions on religious worship which implicates the right to freedom of religion as enshrined in the United States Constitution. During the time of the Pandemic the United States Supreme Court, as the final arbiter of the United States Constitution has had to work to balance the interests of the government in protecting public health and safety with the right to freedom of religion. The Supreme Court’s approach to these cases reflects the difficulties inherent in balancing two such important interests in difficult circumstances and also represents the reality of the shifting majority in the Court as a result of new Justices appointed under the administration of Donald Trump. The Court has transitioned from a majority that opposed restrictions on governmental action during COVID to a majority that is more willing to stop governmental action that is deemed to be in violation of the Free Exercise of Religion Clause of the First Amendment.
Anti-salmonella potential and antioxidant activity of fermented fruit-based juice by lactic acid bacteria and its biotransformation

Published: August 2021

Background: Lactic acid bacteria-based fermentation clearly contributes to improving nutritional value and exhibits various health benefits. The demand for non-dairy functional beverages, such as fruit beverages, as an alternative vehicle for probiotics is increasing because of lifestyle choices or health conditions. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-Salmonella potential and antioxidant activity of fermented fruit-based juice by lactic acid bacteria and its biotransformation.   Methods: In this study, to produce the fermented fruit-based juice (FFJ), the mixed fruit juice (MFJ) was fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum TISTR 1465 and Lactobacillus salivarius TIST 1112 for 72 hrs. The potential function, anti-Salmonella by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and antibiofilm activities of FFJ against Salmonella Typhi DMST 22842 was evaluated. The antioxidative capacity was determined by DPPH and FRAP assay. The active volatile compounds were identified by GC-MS. Results: A novel functional FFJ showed excellent growth capacity with 8 log CFU/mL of probiotics Lactobacillus plantarum TISTR 1465 and Lactobacillus salivarius TIST 1112. MIC and MBC values in the FFJ were 500 mg/mL after 72 hrs of fermentation. After 48hrs of fermentation, biofilm formation inhibition was significant (p < 0.05) with 95.27% ± 2.26% inhibition; biofilm metabolic activity inhibition was also significant (p < 0.05) with 89.25% ± 0.18% inhibition. The volatile compounds present in the FFJ were fruity flavors and aromas, most of have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.  These compounds comprise various classes, including alcohols, organic acid, ester, and ketone. In both LAB fermentations, the most abundant volatile alcohol was isoamyl alcohol, followed by 1-hexanol and 2,3-Butanolone; acetic acid was only present in L. plantarum fermentation. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging and FRAP assay showed the mixed fruit juice had dramatically increased antioxidant activity after 48 hrs of fermentation.Conclusion: The findings of this work indicate that the obtained fermented fruit-based juice (FFJ) showed excellent growth capacity of probiotics, Lactobacillus plantarum TISTR 1465 and Lactobacillus salivarius TIST 1112, and produced the volatile compounds from biotransformation. This not only improved fruit flavor and aroma, but also influenced antibacterial activity against the pathogen Salmonella Typhi DMST 22842, as well as increased antioxidant activity. Therefore, the FFJ could be a novel functional fermented drink for vegan and non-diary consumption.Keywords: Lactic acid bacteria, Probiotics, Biotransformation, Non-dairy functional beverage, Anti-Salmonella
Growing up in contexts with armed conflict: Individual exposure to large-scale violence and differences in emancipative values in Colombia and Mexico
Authors: Echeverría Vicente Nohemi Jocabeth , Hemmerechts Kenneth , Kavadias Dimokritos
Published: August 2021

This paper investigates the legacies of growing up in a country with large-scale armed conflict on individuals’ emancipative values. We used a most-similar case research design to analyze these consequences of armed conflict. We selected Mexico and Colombia as cases to compare, because they were similar in variables related to emancipative value preferences at the onset of our comparison. These two cases, however, varied, later on, in the level to which individuals of similar age-cohorts were exposed to largescale political violence. The results show that individuals who have grown up in a country with high levels of armed conflict tend to endorse less emancipative values in adulthood.
To Tweet or not to Tweet? An analysis of Twitter use during the 2014 Belgian elections
Authors: De Munter Stéphanie , De Vries Philippe
Published: August 2021

Social media, and Twitter in particular, are playing an increasing role in the day-to-day activities of politicians (Weber Shandwick, 2014). Before the digital revolution, the relationship between the politician and the voter was intermediated by journalists and broadcast media. In contrast to traditional media, social media are presumed to enable politicians to engage directly with the electorate (Kruikemeier, Van Noort, Vliegenthart & De Vreese, 2015). In the last decade, there was a growing interest in the role of social media in election campaigns, triggered by Barack Obama’s electoral presidential election victory in 2008 and more recently by Donald Trumps’ triumph in 2016 (Rodriguez-Andres, 2018). The research presented in this article answers three main questions. First, who are the politicians using Twitter for campaigning purposes and what variables can predict Twitter use? Second, when do Belgian politicians use it and with which frequency? And third: do tweeting politicians perform better at the ballot box? The main findings reveal that a Flemish candidate has a higher probability of 18,7% to be present on Twitter compared to a candidate from the French community. Another important finding is that there is no significant association between the number of tweets and number of preferential votes, although a trend towards significance was observed for Flemish politicians.

Authors: Kulhari Sandeep , Choudhary Deepak
Published: August 2021

Background: Respiratory distress (RD) is a challenging problem and is one of the most common causes of admission in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 50 cases. Term, pre-term and post-term babies both in-borns and out-borns cases were included in the study.

Results: Of the 50 cases admitted with RD, 31 babies (62%) were delivered vaginally and 19 (38%) by lower segment caesarean section (LSCS). There were 33 (66%) males and 17 (34%) females in the study. There were 23 (46%) pre-term babies, 26 (52%) term and 1 (2%) post-term neonates who were admitted with RD. The majority of cases 42 (82%) presented with increased respiratory rate, chest in drawings. 41 (82%) babies had flaring of alae nasi.

Conclusion: Increased respiratory rate along with chest in drawing, flaring of alae nasi are the presentation of RD in majority of cases.

Keywords: Respiratory distress (RD), Flaring of alae nasi are, Tachypnea.

Published: August 2021

El año 2011 se extendió la licencia maternal postnatal en Chile de 12 a 24 semanas.Objetivo: Determinar el efecto de la extensión de la licencia maternal en la prevalencia de lactancia materna en Chile, según grupos de pobreza.Método: Estudio ecológico sobre la prevalencia anual de lactancia materna exclusiva al 1° mes y 6° mes y complementada al 12° mes en el sistema público de salud entre 2008 y 2018, en base a los registros estadísticos mensuales de la atención primaria. Se calculó la prevalencia a nivel país y por grupos de regiones según el nivel de pobreza reportado por la Encuesta de Caracterización Socioeconómica Nacional (CASEN). Se determinó la variación en la tendencia temporal mediante modelos de regresión de Poisson segmentados (joinpoint), estimando los porcentajes de cambio anual.Resultados: A nivel nacional, las prevalencias de lactancia materna exclusiva al 6° mes y complementada a los 12 meses aumentaron 5,9% y 4,2% anualmente desde 2011, alcanzando un 58,9% y 40,2% en 2018, respectivamente. Este patrón se repite en los diferentes grupos de pobreza regional, con mayores prevalencias en el grupo más pobre, alcanzando 61,7% al 6° mes y 51,6% a los 12 meses en 2018. La lactancia materna exclusiva al mes disminuyó 1,7% anual entre 2008 y 2014, para luego mantenerse, alcanzando un 74,4% en 2018.Conclusiones: La prevalencia de lactancia materna exclusiva al 6° mes aumentó significativamente a partir del año 2011, con la extensión de la licencia maternal. Este efecto se produce en todos los grupos regionales de pobreza, estrechando las diferencias en la prevalencia.

El hipertiroidismo neonatal es una enfermedad que puede asociarse a mortalidad y secuelas. No existe a la fecha, una serie clínica de casos que permita conocer la realidad local de esta condición.Objetivo: Caracterizar desde el punto de vista clínico y de laboratorio a recién nacidos (RN) hijos de madres con Enfermedad de Graves (EG).Sujetos y Método: Estudio prospectivo de RN hijos de madres con antecedente de EG, en dos hospitales públicos de Santiago, por un período de 5 años. Se analizaron variables clínicas y de laboratorio de los binomios madre-hijo. Se analizaron los anticuerpos antireceptor de hormona tiroestimulante (por su acrónimo en inglés: TSH receptor antibodies, TRAbs). Se buscaron asociaciones entre estas variables y el desarrollo de hipertiroidismo neonatal.Resultados: Se incluyeron 76 binomios madre-hijo (0,2% del total de partos). Cinco neonatos (6,6%) presentaron hipertiroidismo bioquímico, y 3 de ellos desarrollaron enfermedad clínica y requirieron tratamiento. Los 5 RN que desarrollaron hipertiroidismo tenían madres con TRAbs positivos o indeterminados. Ningún hijo de madre con TRAbs negativo desarrolló la enfermedad. Sólo un 65% de las madres y un 72% de los RN pudieron tener determinación de TRAbs. Hubo una correlación significativa entre los títulos de TRAbs maternos (p < 0,03), TRAbs neonatales (p < 0,008) y la TSH neonatal tomada entre los días 2-6 (p < 0,006), con el desarrollo posterior de hipertiroidismo. Todos los casos de hipertiroidismo neonatal fueron transitorios. No hubo mortalidad en nuestra casuística.Conclusiones: En esta primera serie nacional de casos de hijos de madres con EG. Los TRAbs maternos, neonatales y la TSH entre los días 2-6 de vida fueron predictores de hipertiroidismo neonatal.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin gözlemleri çerçevesinde okul öncesi çocuklarda görülen istenmeyen davranışların önlenmesinde tiyatronun etkisini tespit etmektir. Bu araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan görüşmenin standart açık uçlu soru sorma tekniği kullanılmıştır. 2016-2017 eğitim öğretim yılında, Trabzon ili sınırları içerisindeki birisi Çarşıbaşı, diğeri ise Akçaabat ilçelerinde olmak üzere iki anaokulunda görev yapan 20 okul öncesi öğretmenine ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Kodlamalarda analiz birimi olarak öğretmenlerin yazdığı cümleler üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışma sonucuna göre: okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin gözlemlerinden yola çıkılarak tiyatronun bahsi geçen öğrencilerde görülen istenmeyen davranışları azalttığı ve hatta bir kısmında yok ettiği anlaşılmıştır. Okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin yıl boyunca yapılan etkinlikler sonucunda dile getirdikleri en önemli husus; tiyatro etkinliğe katılan öğrencilerin bilgisayardan, internetten ve çizgi filmlerden gönüllü olarak vazgeçtikleri ve bunların yerine tiyatroyu tercih ettikleridir. Ancak görüşmeye katılan okul öncesi öğretmenleri tiyatro etkinlikleri alanında yetersiz olduklarını, üniversitede uygulamalı tiyatro etkinlikleri derslerinin olması gerektiğini ifade etmiştir. Ayrıca araştırmada, bu çalışmada okul öncesi çocuklarda görülen istenmeyen davranışların nedenleri araştırılmış ve bunların giderilmesinde tiyatro etkinliklerinin nasıl kullanılması gerektiği üzerinde durulmuştur.

Tujuan Penelitian. Ingin mengkaji dan menganalisis kebijakan progresif dalam pelaksanaan PP No. 24 tahun 1997 terhadap pemberian sertifikat sebagai alas hak yang sah dan mengkaji dan menganalisis faktor pendukung dan penghambat implementasi kebijakan progresif tersebut. Latar Belakang. Kebijakan Negara dalam menjalankan amanah PP No.24 Tahun 1997, Yakni melakukan proses pendaftaran tanah secara lengkap dengan menganulir hakekat konversi bidang pendaftaran tanah yang seharusnya dibeikan waktu 20 tahun dari UUPA No.5 Tahn 1960 sampai dengan Tahun 1980. Namun negara mempunyai otoritas mengambil kebijakan progresif dengan masih menerima terhadap pendaftaran tanah yang belum mempunyai alat bukti sertifikat.Hasil Penelitian. Pelaksanaan pendaftaran tanah sistem lengkap merupakan kebijakan progresif negara melalui PP 24 Tahun 1997 bahwa pemberian kepastian hukum terhadap hak atas tanah kepada masyarakat dilakukan dalam rangka tertib administrasi dan rasa nyaman atas alat bukti kepemilikan yang dipegang oleh pemilik tanah. Hal ini merupakan kebijakan negara walaupun aturan konversi bahwa sejak 24 September 1960 (UUPA) sampai dengan tahun 1980 telah dilakukan ketentuan konversi setiap pemilik hak atas tanah harus melakukan penyesuaian hak atas tanah yang tercantum dalam UUPA. Namun, sampai dengan saat ini negara masih memberlakukan proses pendaftaran tanah progresif (PTSL) sehingga dapat disimpulkan negara mempunyai kebijakan progresif yang dilakukan menurut PP 24 Tahun 1990. Faktor-faktor yang menjadi kendala dalam pelaksanaan PTSL di Kabupaten Boyolali, antara lain: a. Tingkat pendidikan masyarakat yang masih sangat rendah, menyebabkan tidak semua komponen masyarakat memahami dan memiliki daya tanggap yang cepat terkait pelaksanaan PTSL; b. Pemohon PTSL susah untuk dihadirkan pada saat kegiatan pengukuran karena adanya beberapa kesibukan. c. Pemohon tidak melakukan pemasangan tanda batas dengan beberapa alasan, baik itu karena belum ada waktu yang tepat ataupun masih terjadi sengketa dengan pemilik tanah yang berbatasan hal ini menyebabkan penundaan kegiatan pelaksanaan. d. Kelengkapan pengumpulan syarat administrasi oleh para pemohon.Kata kunci : kebijakan progresif, alat bukti sertifikat

Oral and written discourse have a textual function that contains of ideas which expressed by participants. Through discourse, community members also have the opportunity to establish communication and relationships and can interact socially and cooperate. This discourse for communication also has a close relationship with one's ability to master the four language skills. Because by mastering the four language skills and knowing the function of language, a person will easily use both oral and written discourse to communicate and interact socially. Song lyrics are one example of written discourse that generally uses beautiful and figurative language. The lyrics of the song 'Perfect' sung by Ed Sheeran and 'Marry You' sung by Bruno Mars are lyrics which also use beautiful, melancholy, sentimental, and romantic language to attract young music lovers. The lyrics of the song are one example of how written discourse can be used to communicate using seductive language with musical accompaniment and can be used as a tool to form social interactions on social media such as: facebook, twitter, radio, and television. The lyrics of the song are analyzed the content of the discourse and examined from the perspective of the songwriter's intentions, goals, and thoughts; The context and inference aspects contained in both song lyrics; Grammatical and lexical aspects to see the song's cohesion and coherence. The results of discourse analysis on grammatical and lexical aspects provide a coherent and beautiful picture of the song 'Perfect' and 'Marry You'. From the grammatical aspect, it can be seen that the reference types of the first person singular (I, speaker) and second persona reference (You, speech partner) in the two lyrics are very dominant. The lexical aspect is not very often found in the song's poetic discourse but there are full repetitions in several lines (in chorus) that show the characteristics of the two lyrics of the songs. That part is the main emphasis on the meaning and intent that the songwriters wish to convey so that the listeners of the songs are able to understand their hearts.Key Words: Oral and Written Discourse, Song Lyrics, Context and Inference Aspects, Grammatical and Lexical Aspect

Detection of Salmonella bacteria based on their virulence genes is among essential steps in the eradication of clinical infection by bacteria. In this study, two pair of primers, PhoPF-PhoPR: 5’- CCGCGCAGGAAAAACTCAAA-3’ and 5’-ATCTGTTCCAGCATCACCGG -3’ as well as PhoQF-PhoQR: 5’-AGAGATGATGCGCGTACTGG-3’ and 5’- CAGACGCCCCATGAGAACAT-3’, had been successfully designed using Primer3Plus to detect the presence of phoP and phoQ genes in Salmonella spp. Using genomic DNA of 44 genomic data of Salmonella spp. as templates, PhoPF-PhoPR could produce 520-bp amplicon, while PhoQF-PhoQR could result in 598-bp amplicon. Results of in silico PCR showed that both pairs of primers PhoPF-PhoPR and PhoQF-PhoQR could detect only Salmonella enterica species, and no Salmonella bongori species could be detected based on phoP and phoQ sequences. Both pairs of PhoPF-PhoPR and PhoQF-PhoQR primers were also able to detect the virulence genes in most of the studied subspecies of Salmonella enterica available in silico database unless Arizona subspecies. As conclusion, based on this in silico study, phoP and phoQ genes appeared to be biomarkers for Salmonella enterica species. Both pairs of primers designed in this study has potential to be used as detection tool to differentiate species Salmonella enterica from Salmonella bongori, and also to distinguish S.enterica subsp. enterica from subsp. Arizonae.Keywords: Gene detection, bacterial virulence, phoP, phoQ, Salmonella spp.

Published: August 2021

Teachers use different pedagogies to improve learners’ performance. The study explored the effect of Computer Simulations (CS) on Grade 11 learners’ performance when taught Plants Biodiversity. A Solomon Four-Group design was used to cater for internal and external validity. Sixty-six learners were assigned to two Control Groups (CG) taught using CS and 66 learners to two Experimental Groups (EG) taught using Talk and Chalk Method (TCM). The pre-test was administered to EG1 and CG1, while post-tests were administered to all four groups. Focus Group Discussion Interviews (FGDI) were conducted with 12 learners: six from EG and six from CG. Quantitative data were analyzed using a T-test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that EG outperformed CG (T-test; ANOVA; p < .05). Boys’ and girls’ performance in EG did not differ significantly, suggesting that CS favour both gender to perform well. CS positively influenced EG learners’ attitudes towards Biodiversity topic, but not CG. Thus, CS is an effective tool for enhancing learners’ performance.
