Successful surgical management of delayed-presenting, completely-transected right main bronchus in a child
Authors: Prasad Alpana , Banerjee Rupa
Published: July 2021

Paediatric thoracic trauma is relatively uncommon accounting for 5%–12% of all paediatric trauma cases. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 14-year-old girl who presented with right haemo-pneumothorax and intercostal chest drain in situ after 4 weeks following road traffic accident. Complete transection of the right main bronchus was seen on flexible bronchoscopy and contrast-enhanced computed tomography chest. Right thoracotomy and primary repair of right main bronchus helped to salvage the right lung.

Authors: Das Adlina , Sunny Ann Maria , Paul Anjusha , Anto Anju , Abraham Bincy T.
Published: July 2021

Aim:

The current research aims to document the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and investigate the association between menopausal symptoms and MetS in post-menopausal women.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective, cross-sectional study was performed over a period of 6 months in various departments of a tertiary care hospital. One hundred and two post-menopausal women were enrolled in the study randomly. Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III Criteria were used to assess menopausal symptoms and MetS, respectively. Data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.

Results:

Majority of the post-menopausal women had MetS with a prevalence of 72.54%. Somatic symptoms were the mostly commonly encountered symptoms in the subjects (71.56%) and had association with MetS (P = 0.004). Elevated fasting blood sugar was associated with components of MRS (P = 0.019). Among the somatic symptoms, hot flushes (P = 0.002), sleep problems (P = 0.037) and joint and muscular discomfort (P = 0.004) had significant association with MetS. Psychological symptoms and urogenital sexual problems were not associated with MetS.

Conclusion:

Prevalence of MetS in post-menopausal women was high. Somatic symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep problem and muscle and joint discomfort were associated with MetS. Menopausal symptoms might be due to the oestrogen deficiency. However, a large study is required to investigate the association between MetS and menopausal symptoms in post-menopausal women.
Clinicopathological evaluation of non-infectious, non-neoplastic skin biopsies in a tertiary care centre of Eastern India
Authors: Bharti Shreekant , Bhadani Punam Prasad , Jamal Iffat , Sinha Rajesh
Published: July 2021

Background:

Non-neoplastic skin lesions have different histomorphological features and need clinical correlations in order to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.

Aim:

The objective was to study the incidence rates of various non-neoplastic skin lesions and to correlate with clinical diagnosis as well as patient demographic profiles.

Materials and Methods:

It is a retrospective study conducted in the department of pathology over a period of June 2014 to June 2018. A total of 254 skin biopsies were reviewed and correlated with clinical findings. Haematoxylin- and eosin-stained slides were evaluated along with special stains in most of the cases.

Results:

Out of 254 non-neoplastic skin lesions, erythematous and papular lesions were most common (52.7%), followed by vesiculobullous lesions (17.3%). Pigmentary lesions comprised 11.4%, photosensitivity reactions 2.7% and vascular lesions 2.3% of the total cases. Out of 254 cases, 169 were males and 85 were females, with a male-to-female ratio being 1.9, and their age ranged from 4 months to 75 years. The most common age group was 21–30 years. Lower limb skin was most commonly involved (40.1%) followed by upper limb, trunk and least common site was head and neck (14.9%).

Conclusion:

Erythematous and papular lesions were the commonest and involved the young adults most frequently. Considering common sites, clinical presentations are of significant importance in diagnosing non-neoplastic skin dermatoses.

Authors: Palanki Surya Satya Gopal , Yerram Sreekanth , Bhyravavajhala Srinivas , Malempati Amaresh Rao
Published: July 2021

Penetrating aortic ulcer and intramural hematoma is one of the causes of acute aortic syndromes and can present as an emergency. It is common in older individuals with multiple risk factors and rarely presents as hemothorax on the right side. We present a young male without significant risk factors who presented acutely with the right massive hemothorax. On evaluation, he had multiple ulcers in the descending thoracic aorta, which was successfully managed with a stent graft. This case illustrates the rarity of presentation at a young age and rarity of manifestation with the right hemothorax.
A Case of Brachial Artery Infected Aneurysm Secondary to Infective Endocarditis from Intramuscular Steroid Use
Authors: Lovelock Thomas , Dean Anastasia , Saran Ayushica , Vasudevan Thodur
Published: July 2021

Infected aneurysms are a subset of aneurysms associated with infection. Approximately 10% of infected aneurysms involve the upper extremity. Infected aneurysms present a management challenge as patients are often unwell with concomitant infective endocarditis or septicemia. We present a case of a brachial artery infected aneurysm secondary to mitral valve infective endocarditis likely due to intramuscular anabolic steroid use. A 52-year-old male presented with a 24-h history of lethargy, blurred vision, and ataxia. He had a background history of intramuscular anabolic steroid use for the past 5 years. Swelling of his left arm localized to his cubital fossa was noted. Blood cultures were positive for Cardiobacterium hominis. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a large vegetation on the mitral valve. Magnetic resonance imaging angiography demonstrated a right middle cerebral artery aneurysm. Computed tomography angiography of the left arm demonstrated an abrupt filling defect of the distal 2 cm of the brachial artery, with surrounding fat stranding and aneurysmal degeneration of the artery. Following successful aneurysm coiling, the patient underwent excision and debridement of the infected aneurysm. Histopathology was consistent with infected thromboembolism with aneurysmal degeneration of the artery. The patient underwent mitral valve replacement 10 days later. The brachial artery is the most common site of upper extremity infected aneurysms. Open surgical resection of the infected tissue is accepted as the gold standard. The rich collateral supply of the upper extremity permits ligation and debridement without needing simultaneous revascularization. We present this case to draw attention to an interesting manifestation of a rare pathology.
Serpentine retinal pigment epithelial tear
Authors: Maitray Aditya , Kohli Piyush , Babu Naresh
Published: July 2021

We report a case of retinal pigment epithelial tear in a patient with peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy (PEHCR). A 60-year-old diabetic female presented with left eye metamorphopsia. Fundus examination showed bilateral peripheral retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degeneration, and a large serpentine-shaped RPE degeneration tract extending from the superotemporal arcade to the inferior periphery with associated subretinal hemorrhages in her left eye. This tract curved around the fovea, just sparing it. Fundus fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographies showed bilateral polyps in the superotemporal periphery. Optical coherence tomography through the tract showed scrolled up RPE at its edges with bare underlying Bruch's membrane and choroid in the region of the rip. There was no sign of an underlying pigment epithelial detachment. The patients with PEHCR should be prognosticated about such a rare vision-threatening macular complication.
Design and assessment of an anatomical diagram for sinonasal malignant tumour resection
Authors: Bastier P.L. , de Gabory L.
Published: July 2021

Background: The aim of our work was to design and assess the comprehensibility of an anatomical diagram for recording surgical and pathological results after the removal of sinonasal malignant tumours by endoscopic endonasal surgery. Methodology: To create the first version of the diagram, we determined the functional and technical specifications for its use. The anatomical structures that appear on it were selected from the pathological reports of previous interventions. The comprehensibility of the diagram was tested by two successive multicentre labelling tests. Successive modifications led to the creation of a definitive version of the diagram. Results: A diagram of the sinonasal cavities in exploded view was created from 47 selected anatomical structures. Labelling tests led to modifying the diagram by the overall restructuring and removal of the least recognized structures. In the labelling test of version 2, the mean global identification rate was 97.1 plus/minus 4.9% for 36 participants and all tested structures achieved a specific identification rate equal to or greater than 75%. Conclusions: This diagram of the sinonasal cavities is a comprehensible validated tool that allows the resection and invasion of sinonasal malignant tumours to be recorded. This three-dimensional diagram facilitates the understanding of the size, location and extensions of tumours. It may improve case presentations and communication in multidisciplinary team meetings.

Authors: Erskine S. , Hopkins C. , Kumar N. , Wilson J. , Clark A. , Robertson A. , Kara N. , Sunkaraneni V. , Anari S. , Philpott C.
Published: July 2021

Background: The Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) has been used as a patient reported outcome measure to grade symptom severity before and after treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Methodology: This analysis uses data from the CRS Epidemiology Study (CRES). The overarching aim of CRES was to determine factors that influence the onset and severity of CRS. A study-specific questionnaire including SNOT-22 was distributed to patients with CRS attending ENT clinics across 30 centres in the United Kingdom. The aim of this analysis was to compare SNOT-22 scores between those with different types of CRS to determine any differences present in the total score or the subdomains and to assess whether any differences varied according to gender. Results: There were a total of 1249 CRS participants in the following subgroups: CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNPs) (n=553), CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNPs) (n=651), allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) (n=45). Since there were differing gender ratios in each subgroup, males and females were analysed separately. The mean and standard deviation for SNOT-22 was: males CRSsNP 41.1 (21.0), CRSwNP 41.7 (20.5); females CRSsNP 49.6 (19.7), CRSwNP 49.5 (22.9). In the nasal domain, those with CRSwNP scored more highly than those with CRSsNP; for males 18.1 (8.1) vs. 15.9 (7.9); for females 19.6 (8.0) vs 16.7 (7.5). Conclusions: Patients with CRSwNPs report higher symptom scores in the nasal domain of SNOT-22 than those with CRSsNPs with women in both subgroups reporting higher total scores than men.
Restoring airway epithelial barrier dysfunction: a new therapeutic challenge in allergic airway disease
Authors: Steelant B. , Seys S.F. , Boeckxstaens G. , Akdis C.A. , Ceuppens J.L. , Hellings P.W.
Published: July 2021

An intact functional mucosal barrier is considered to be crucial for the maintenance of airway homeostasis as it protects the host immune system from exposure to allergens and noxious environmental triggers. Recent data provided evidence for the contribution of barrier dysfunction to the development of inflammatory diseases in the airways, skin and gut. A defective barrier has been documented in chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis and inflammatory bowel diseases. However, it remains to be elucidated to what extent primary (genetic) versus secondary (inflammatory) mechanisms drive barrier dysfunction. The precise pathogenesis of barrier dysfunction in patients with chronic mucosal inflammation and its implications on tissue inflammation and systemic absorption of exogenous particles are only partly understood. Since epithelial barrier defects are linked with chronicity and severity of airway inflammation, restoring the barrier integrity may become a useful approach in the treatment of allergic diseases. We here provide a state-of-the-art review on epithelial barrier dysfunction in upper and lower airways as well as in the intestine and the skin and on how barrier dysfunction can be restored from a therapeutic perspective.

Published: July 2021

Introduction: Appropriate indications for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are currently poorly defined. The lack of clear surgical indications for ESS likely contributes to the large geographic variation in surgical rates and contributes to reduced quality of care. The objective of this study was to define appropriateness criteria for ESS during management of adult patients with uncomplicated CRS. Methods: The RAND/UCLA appropriateness methodology was performed. An international, multi-disciplinary panel of 10 experts in CRS was formed and completed two rounds of a modified Delphi ranking process along with a face-to-face meeting. Results: A total of 624 clinical scenarios were ranked, 312 scenarios each for CRS with and CRS without nasal polyps. For adult patients with uncomplicated CRS with nasal polyps, ESS can be appropriately offered when the CT Lund-Mackay score is ≥ 1 and there has been a minimum trial of a topical intranasal corticosteroid plus a short-course of systemic corticosteroid with a post-treatment total SNOT-22 score ≥ 20. For adult patients with uncomplicated CRS without nasal polyps, ESS can be appropriately offered when the CT Lund-Mackay score is ≥ 1 and there has been a minimum trial of a topical intranasal corticosteroid plus either a short-course of a broad spectrum/culture-directed systemic antibiotic or the use of a prolonged course of systemic low-dose anti-inflammatory antibiotic with a post-treatment total SNOT-22 score ≥ 20. Conclusion: This study has developed and reported of list of appropriateness criteria to offer ESS as a treatment option during management of uncomplicated adult CRS. The extent or technique of ESS was not addressed in this study and will depend on surgeon and patient factors. Furthermore, these criteria are the minimal threshold to make ESS a treatment option and do not imply that all patients meeting these criteria require surgery. The decision to perform ESS should be made after an informed patient makes a preference-sensitive decision to proceed with surgery. Applying these appropriateness criteria for ESS may optimize patient selection, reduce the incidence of unwarranted surgery, and assist clinicians in providing high quality, patient-centered care to patients with CRS.
A systematic review of anti-thrombotic therapy in epistaxis
Authors: Musgrave K.M. , Powell J.
Published: July 2021

There is limited guidance available to clinicians regarding the management of antithrombotic therapy during epistaxis, whilst there has been an increase in the use of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy. In addition, the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), such as dabigatran and rivaroxaban, over the last decade has significantly increased the complexity of managing the anticoagulated epistaxis patient. We undertook a systemic literature review investigating potential management strategies for each class of anti-thrombotic therapy during epistaxis. A PubMED and Cochrane Library search was performed on 10/03/16 using, but not limited to, the search terms epistaxis, nosebleed, nose bleeding, nasal haemorrhage, nasal bleeding AND each of the following search terms: antithrombotic, anticoagulant, antiplatelet, aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and tranexamic acid. This yielded 3815 results, of which 29 were considered relevant. Other sources such as national and international guidelines related to the management of anti-thrombotics were also utilised. We present the findings related to the management of each class of anti-thrombotic therapy during epistaxis. Overall we found a lack of evidence regarding this topic and further high quality research is needed. This is an area growing in complexity and the support of colleagues in Haematology and Cardiology is increasingly important.

Publication Models in the Science of Culture

This article examines quantitatively the patterns of research phenomena being observed during last years in the field of cultural studies basing on the data acquired from Scopus – one of the biggest scientific bibliographic databases. The authors of the article were inspired to undertake such research from the recent amendment of Polish legislation called the Constitution for Science, which promotes inter-institutional and international research. Therefore, the results of the investigation were prepared for all countries publishing in Scopus indexed literature, but with particular emphasis on Polish participation. The conducted research allowed to identify the dominant publication languages in the studied field, the quantitative publication share of individual countries, the average number of authors per one publication from a given country, but also made it possible to identify countries willing to cooperate with each other, which was visualized on the so-called cooperation maps. In addition, Polish and global scientific productivity measured by the number of articles was embedded in the so-called Polish “ministerial list” of journals, which may give Polish scientists of the field of cultural studies hints on the choice of a journal dealing with relevant topics and being indexed in the Scopus database.
The Concept of “Galicia” in the Discourse of Chwila Newspaper (1919–1939)
Authors: Melnyk Roman
Published: July 2021

This article proposes a study of the usage of the concept of “Galicia” in the leading Jewish political newspaper of interwar Eastern Galicia (southeastern Poland), the Zionist daily Chwila. The use of “Galicia” is analyzed along with its main concurrent in the public sphere, the term “Małopolska” (Lesser Poland). Each term had its realm of usage, while each was caused by a distinct kind of motivation. “Lesser Poland” dominated the political and common sphere as the name of the former Austrian part of Poland, while “Galicia” was reserved mostly for writing about cultural issues and stereotypes. “Lesser Poland” was supposedly accepted by Galician Zionists as a tool to express their loyalty to the newly restored Polish Republic, while “Galicia” was preserved as an instrument for communication with other Galician Jews abroad and their common Austrian past, as well as an instrument of othering them from the outside. Both terms continued to be used in such a way throughout the entire interwar period.
The East Galician Zionist Federation and the Polish Governments of 1922–1926
Authors: Skokova Nadia
Published: July 2021

The fledgling processes of the single-state governmental system of the reborn Polish state in 1920 were intended to deal with many current challenges and historical backgrounds. The article analyses the causes and different contexts and conditions which were forged to initiate the Polish-Jewish negotiations of 1925. The primary attention is focused on the solutions to the economic crisis and its consequences. Also, we consider the in-house situation between different factions in the Jewish Club to better understand all the pros and cons that made the future agreements possible. To provide such analysis of the Polish-Jewish negotiations, we use the Rogers Brubaker’s nationalising approach, which lets us examine the interactions between the Polish state nationalismand the nationalism of East Galician Zionists. We also apply multiple situational analysis to investigate the ample variety of reasons behind those negotiations. This approach allowed us to consider the 1925 Agreement in the broad geopolitical context in which both sides were interested.

The Gulag of Poets: The Experience of Exile, Forced Labour Camps, and Wandering in the USSR in the Works of Polish-Yiddish Writers (1939–1949)
Authors: Ruta Magdalena
Published: July 2021

The literary output of the Polish-Yiddish writers who survived WWII in the Soviet Union is mostly a literary mirror of the times of exile and wartime wandering. The two major themes that reverberate through these writings are: the refugees’ reflection on their stay in the USSR, and the Holocaust of Polish Jews. After the war, some of them described that period in their memoirs and autobiographical fiction, however, due to censorship, such accounts could only be published abroad, following the authors’ emigration from Poland. These writings significantly complement the texts produced during the war, offering plentiful details about life in Poland’s Eastern Borderlands under Soviet rule as it was perceived by the refugees, or about the fate of specific persons in the subsequent wartime years. This literature, written in – and about – exile is not only an account of what was happening to Polish-Jewish refugees in the USSR, but also a testimony to their coping with an enormous psychological burden caused by the awareness (or the lack thereof) of the fate of Jews under Nazi German occupation. What emerges from all the literary texts published in post-war Poland, even despite the cuts and omissions caused by (self)-censorship, is an image of a postwar Jewish community affected by deep trauma, hurt and – so it seems – split into two groups: survivors in the East (vicarious witnesses), and survivors in Nazi-occupied Poland (direct victim witnesses). The article discusses on samples the necessity of extending and broadening of that image by adding to the reflection on Holocaust literature (which has been underway for many years) the reflection on the accounts of the experience of exile, Soviet forced labour camps, and wandering in the USSR contained in the entire corpus of literary works and memoirs written by Polish-Yiddish writers.

A review on phytochemical and pharmacological activities of some ethnomedical plants used by tribal and folk peoples of AndhraPradesh in animal health care
Authors: Ch Shyam Kumar , Banisetti Dileep Kumar
Published: July 2021

Folk people are the main natives of the countryside and forests. They are always being much closed to nature. They are fully dependent on their surroundings for their basic needs. Even during diseased conditions, they mainly rely on the use of traditional medicines available in their surroundings. They believe in trees as God and use their products for their wellbeing. They have full belief in nature and their belongings. They utilized locally available plants and other natural materials for the treatment of several diseases. But this knowledge of traditional medicines is found to be confined only up to tribes and folk people of the society. Thus, it is required that such useful knowledge about indigenous medicines should be documented, popularized, and systematized for the welfare of human society. The present paper is an effort to reveal the importance of ethno medicines for tribes as well as the whole society.

Published: July 2021

Gastro retentive drug delivery systems have been widely used to prolong the retention of dosage forms in the stomach. Among the various approaches, the floating in-situ gelling formulation offers sustained drug release as well as prolonged gastric retention, along with the added advantage of the liquid oral dosage form. The present study was an attempt to formulate and evaluate floating in situ gel of Eplerenone by using various polymers like Xanthan gum, Carbopol, HPMC K100M, and Karaya gum which undergoes pH dependant sol-gel transition at gastric pH, thereby prolonging the retention of the system in the stomach. Sodium alginate a natural polymer was employed as a gelling agent where Gelation is triggered by the source of calcium ions in the form of calcium carbonate. Drug and polymers were subjected for compatibility study using FTIR studies, which revealed that there was no interaction between drugs and polymers. The evaluation was carried out for invitro parameters such as gelling nature, Total floating time, drug content, viscosity, & in vitro dissolution studies. Among all the formulations, the F12 formulation containing HPMC K100M was chosen as an optimized formulation that shows maximum drug release by the end of 12hrs and has excellent floating characteristics and gastric retention. From kinetic studies, the optimized formulation shows zero-order release with super case II transport mechanism.

Sistem Informasi Penjadwalan Supir Bus Po Logos Berbasis Website
Authors: Zakharia Zakharia , Widiatry Widiatry , Sari Nova Noor Kamala
Published: July 2021

The problem with the PO Logos company is that the schedule for the driver or bus driver is still done manually which results in the old operator determining the bus driver who will depart. And the distribution of the driver's departure schedule is not evenly distributed so that the bus driver who has just departed is scheduled to leave again the next day which causes the driver to contact the operator to report this in order to get a replacement driver, because the rules for drivers at PO Logos company are once every three days. From these problems raised the idea to create a driver scheduling information system for PO Logos. This was built using the Waterfall methodology which consists of 5 stages, namely Requirement Analysis and Definition of the old system analysis and the new system of scheduling using genetic algorithms which are described by flowcharts, System and Software Design using Unifed Modeling Language (UML), Implementation and Unit Testing using programming languages PHP and MySQL, Integration and System Testing Testing is done by black-box testing. The results of making a bus driver scheduling information system in making a driver schedule using a genetic algorithm through stages, namely the formation of the initial population, evaluating the fitness value, finding the two best fitness values ??using tournament selection, crossover using one-point crossover, mutation and fitness evaluation again for looking for the best value.

Inventory data on Obyth Store is still made in the big agenda book, so store owners and cashiers have difficulty when viewing the inventory data information of existing goods. Therefore, it takes a system of information on inventory of goods using the Reorder point method. This method helps the shop owner to check the inventory quantity of goods without having to go around first, and avoid running out of stock the amount of inventory and the store owner can know the point of time when to rebook.

This system uses 2 methods namely waterfall as a software development method and Re Order Point method as a method in the inventory information system created. Re order point has 3 factors to get the result of its re order point, namely lead time, average usage, and safety stock. Based on the waterfall method stage there are several stages namely requirement definition, system and software design, implemetation and unit testing, integration and system testing and operation. The software used in building this website is Sublime, MySQL, and XAMPP

Within the framework of the basic model of migrating seismicity, the main geoinformation criteria for identifying quasi-linear chains of earthquakes in epicentral fields of complex geometry and variable density of shock distribution have been determined by numerical methods. The developed model is used to study the migrations of earthquake foci and identify zones of hidden seismically active faults: it provides statistical criteria for the presence of quasi-linear chains of seismicity migration
and zones of hidden seismic faults in arrays of various volumes of seismological data as an excess at a given level of significance
of the average numbers of chains of earthquakes, spatially temporal distribution of shocks. The established dependences of the average number of selected chains of random events on the sample size and site shape make it possible to reveal the presence of seismicity migration and zones of hidden faults under the given criteria of “significance”, “representativeness” and ISMA. The developed methods, implemented programs and patents lay the theoretical and practical basis for GIS technology for identifying hidden faults and studying the migrations of earthquake foci in the lithosphere of the Baikal rift system. Since the main laws governing the formation of the internal structure of continental fault zones and seismicity are determined by the fundamental properties of the progressive deformation of transgressive shearing realized within them and are uniform, the developed GIS technologies can be applied in other seismically active regions.

For the radioactively contaminated territory of the Tula Research Institute of Agriculture, a database has been created for storing spatially oriented information. The created database contains information about the location of agricultural areas; crop rotation structure; distribution of values of specific activity of 137Cs on agricultural lands; agrochemical indicators of soils of agricultural territories (content of humus, potassium, phosphorus, acidity); soil types; relief. It also contains a calculation module for assessing the content of 137Cs in crop and livestock products. The accumulated data array will be used for designing adaptive landscape farming systems using information on the 137Cs content in the soil generalized over a long-term period.
Uma reflexão sobre educação: currículo
Authors: Mendes Gabriella da Silva
Published: July 2021

Este trabalho se propõe a realizar uma reflexão sobre a abordagem do currículo escolar, pensando nos variados debates na esfera educacional no Brasil. Muitas vezes, os alunos são oriundos de vários contextos sociais, e se tratando de educação, o currículo não se abre para discussões como: combate a violência, intolerância étnico-racial, gênero e de orientação sexual; sem contar quando as escolas não têm autonomia para lidarem com esses diferentes enquadramentos sociais. A qualidade da educação em qualquer país está relacionada à existência de instituições, que têm como pilares básicos o que ensinar (cursos), quem ensinar (professores), onde e como ensinar (organização e gestão escolar), avaliação e motivação. Na atualidade, observo que existe uma preocupante “onda de reforma da educação curricular”, que deve ser levada a sério e tratada com cautela, pois, a reforma da educação pode ser iniciada a qualquer momento, mas sua eficácia dependerá do funcionamento de todos os pilares da educação básica, mencionados acima.

Al Quran for Muslims is the "Way Of Life" or guidelines for life in this world and the hereafter. So that studying, understanding and memorizing the Al Quran will be more effectively taught from an early age. This study aims to describe the methods used in Madrasah Ibtidaiya educational institutions to print Al-Quran memorizers. The research method is in the form of literature review through a review process by looking for research results through Google Scholar both in the form of journals, scientific papers in the form of theses / theses. The next step is to analyze the data obtained manually and compiled in a narrative. The results showed that there are several well-known methods used in tahfidz institutions, including: Fahmul Mahfudz Method, Tikrarul Mahfudz Method, Kitabul Mahfudz Method, Isati'amul Mahfudz Method. The Talqin Method, the Tasmi 'Method, the Muraja'ah Method. Talaqqi Method, Drill Method, Yanbua Method and so on. At Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, the educational process of memorizing the Koran has different characteristics compared to Islamic boarding schools. This is because in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah the curriculum refers to the National curriculum, so Madrasah Ibtidaiyah must be able to make a tahfidz program that is adapted to other teaching programs. Therefore we need teachers who are able to compile programs by utilizing the available time with an effective and consistent agenda (istiqomah) .Thus, in order for the Tahfidz program at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah to be successful, good planning must be drawn up in terms of Time Management, tahfidz instructors, continue to refine the methods used. applied and strengthened parental support as well as control and motivation.
