Published: December 2023

Penerapan nilai-nilai wasathy di dalam kehidupan sehari-hari merupakan cita-cita yang diinginkan oleh setiap individu, dengan harapan dapat menciptakan kehidupan yang tentram dan damai sejahtera. Namun, penerapan nilai-nilai ini tidaklah mudah dan memerlukan strategi serta upaya-upaya yang konkrit. Berbagai praktek perbuatan belakangan ini menunjukkan ketidaksesuaian dengan nilai-nilai wasathy, seperti tingginya tingkat intoleransi dan egoisme, yang mengakibatkan pandangan negatif terhadap mereka yang memiliki pandangan berbeda. Hal ini dapat dicegah dengan penerapan nilai-nilai wasathy melalui strategi dan upaya-upaya yang dilakukan, terutama di lembaga pendidikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan nilai-nilai wasathy khususnya pada keragaman sosial mahasiswa intensif dapat diwujudkan melalui berbagai kegiatan dan program. Mahasiswa intensif berasal dari latar belakang yang beragam, namun melalui kegiatan seperti Usbu’utta’aruf, program kongres mahasiswa, Gebyar Iedul Adha, serta peringatan hari Pancasila dan HUT Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia, mereka dapat membentuk hubungan yang baik dan menerapkan nilai-nilai wasathy dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Nilai-nilai seperti tawassut, tawazun, adil, tasamuh, musawah, syura, islah, aulawiyah, tatawwur wal ibtikar, tahadhdhur, wathaniyah wa muwathanah, dan qudwatiyah dapat diimplementasikan melalui kegiatan-kegiatan tersebut. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa penerapan nilai-nilai wasathy di lembaga pendidikan dapat menciptakan suasana yang harmonis dan toleran di antara mahasiswa yang memiliki latar belakang beragam.

Published: December 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan memaparkan fenomena bias gender dan budaya yang sering terjadi di dalam lingkungan sekolah dan penerapan teori ekologi dan pendidikan Islam multikultural sebagai solusi untuk mengatasinya. Studi penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kepustakaan dengan cara mengumpulkan dan menganalisis teks atau dkoumen yang relevan dengan pembahasan yang akan diulas. Gender merujuk pada peran laki-laki dan perempuan dalam masyarakat sedangakan budaya merupakan pola perilaku dan tingkah laku yang diwariskan dari satu generasi ke generasi berikutnya. Saat ini, banyak ditemukan ketimpangan budaya dan gender di lingkungan sekolah baik perlakuan budaya guru terhadap peserta didik yang memilki latar belakang berbeda maupun modul pelajaran yang memarginalisasi peran perempuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan  bahwa konsep pendidikan Islam multikultural dapat digunakan seorang pendidik dalam memahami keankearagaman budaya dan perbedaan gender yang terjadi di dunia pendidikan sehingga proses pembelajaran bisa berjalan sesuai rencana serta menekan terhadap peserta didik agar dapat memahami, menerima dan menghargai nilai yang berbeda-beda dari orang, suku, dan budaya yang berbeda sesuai dengan konteks yang ada pada al-Qur’an dan Sunnah.

Authors: Siregar Muhammad Abi Ghoffari , Lathifah Dyne Soraya , Anvi Nafisya Maharani
Published: December 2023

Osteoporosis is a bone disorder characterized by reduced bone mass density so that bones become brittle and increase the risk of fractures. It develops slowly over several years and is often only diagnosed when a fall or sudden impact causes a bone to break (fracture). The incidence of osteoporosis always increase every year and it is estimated that patient with osteoporosis in Indonesia will increase to be 300 millions people in 2050. One of several ways to diagnose osteoporosis is through specific biomarkers that marked formation, resorption and reulation during bone remodeling processes. Various biomarkers are now available for specific and sensitive assessment of the rate for bone formation and bone resorption. For example, the bone formation biomarkers are total alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), osteocalcin (OC), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and procollagen type 1 C-terminal propeptide (P1CP). Moreover, the decrease of total ALP has been demonstrated with the treatment with alendronate from 79.7 U/L to 64.8 U/L. This literature review is aimed to discuss the utilization of alkaline phosphatase as a novel detection biomarker in the diagnosis of osteoporosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. The literature based on journal searching related to the topic such as, PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Researcher have obtained the basis of the disease, the underlying mechanism explains and the detection, through the specificity researcher can see how it may be effective as a biomarker, and the comparison may reveal it’s potential and how it compares to other biomarkers.

CRISIS RESEARCH FOUNDATIONS IN THE TRANSFORMING WORLD ECONOMY: A THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Намлієв Є. , Кацицка Г.
Published: December 2023

Objective. This article examines the theoretical foundations of crisis research within the context of an evolving global economy. It highlights the necessity of re-evaluating traditional economic theories to encompass the interconnected nature of modern financial systems, technological advancements, and emergent global threats such as pandemics and climate change. Results. The discussion extends to the analysis of the most recent scholarly contributions and identifies gaps that present opportunities for future research. The interconnectedness of the global economy has not only facilitated international trade and cultural exchange but has also increased the propensity for localized economic disruptions to escalate into global crises. From financial collapses and geopolitical instability to pandemics and climate change, modern economic crises represent a complex interweaving of causes and consequences that extend far beyond traditional economic theories and models. Traditional economic theories have often fallen short in predicting and mitigating the impacts of these crises. In this article, an attempt is made to comprehend and systematize modern economic crises through the lens of globalization, technological changes, environmental and healthcare challenges, while proposing a new theoretical approach for understanding and managing these crises. The relevance of this research lies in its pursuit to bridge the gap between existing economic models and the realities of a dynamic global economic landscape. The purpose of this article is to forge a comprehensive theoretical framework that encapsulates the complexities of modern economic crises. By integrating diverse scholarly views and addressing the inadequacies of existing models, this framework aims to improve our predictive capabilities and policy responses to future economic downturns. The body of the article comprises a detailed examination of various factors influencing the global economy, such as the rise of cryptocurrency markets, the shift towards remote economies in the post-pandemic era, and the impact of geopolitical tensions on trade and finance. It contrasts the efficacy of existing economic indicators with the emerging challenges posed by these factors, using case studies and empirical data. On the basis of the synthesized material, a classification of theories proposed by scholars regarding economic crises can be articulated. This classification not only captures the diversity of perspectives but also aligns with the complex nature of crises in the contemporary economic landscape. Practical significance. The article concludes by asserting the critical need for adaptable and forward-looking economic theories. The conclusions reinforce the notion that understanding the current and future economic crises requires a more holistic and flexible approach to theoretical research, one that can accommodate the unpredictable nature of the global economy.

Трансформаційні процеси, які на сьогодні впроваджуються в Україні, та прямування України до ЄС зумовлюють обов’язковість перегляду ролі та функцій держави в суспільних відносинах. Стара модель державного управління, не задовольняє потреб сучасного суспільства, що перебуває в активній трансформації та перспективному розвитку. Саме Європейський шлях розвитку України визначає її перехід до європейської сучасної моделі. Це непростий курс до відповідального й політично організованого суспільства, в якому підвищується активність та політична участь громадян та активізація забезпечення їхніх прав і свобод. Такий розвиток потребує перегляду взаємовідносин між державою і суспільством. Для вирішення викликів має адаптивно змінитися організація роботи між органами державної влади, органами місцевого самоврядування та суспільством. Для аналізу цих процесів необхідним є узагальнення визначень та підходів до розуміння та виявлення спільного та різниць між поняттями «державне управління», «публічне адміністрування» та «публічне управління». У статті окреслено еволюцію досліджуваних понять та сучасні підходи до визначенні сутності поняття «публічне управління» та доведено, що застосовування терміну «публічний» замість або тотожно «державний» не потрібно через інше сутнісне наповнення.

Authors: Moore Joel
Published: December 2023

Acquisition of accurate ego-motion estimates sits at the core of autonomous navigational re- search. In this thesis, a method of estimating rover trajectory through stereo visual odometry is proposed. This research presents a navigational system aided by a sun-sensor and inclinome- ter to improve accuracy in motion estimation. Specifically, this research improves on the work conducted by Lambert et al. [1] and investigates the accuracy of previous work as well as the quality of the Devon Island dataset. Sparse implementations of matrices are utilized to effi- ciently determine trajectory estimations using both stereo camera and the secondary attitude sensors. Ultimately this thesis implements an algorithm that results in a significant reduction in computational cost when compared to the work conducted by Lambert et al. [1] iii

A Study on Dilatation Monotone Maps and the Haezendonck-Goovaerts Risk Measure
Authors: Rahnemaye Rahsepar Seyedeh Massoomeh
Published: December 2023

Risk measures have been studied for several decades in the ﬁnancial literature. Mathematically, a risk measure is a mapping from a class of random variables deﬁned on some space X to the (extended) real line. It is difﬁcult to give a reliable assessment of ﬁnancial risk without a suitable model space X where the ﬁnancial position lies there. 

In this work, we assume the domain X for the risk measure ρ : X → (−∈,∈] is a subset of L1 that contains the space of simple random variables L and has the Fatou property. We focus on dilatation monotonicity as desirable preferences of the decision-maker over risks. We discuss continuity properties of dilatation monotone risk measures on X. We prove that on a non-atomic probability space, every dilatation monotone convex risk measure on X can extend uniquely to a σ(L1,L)-lower semicontinuous dilatation monotone convex risk measure. Our ﬁndings complement extension and continuity results for (quasi)convex law-invariant functionals. 

In the second part of this thesis, we overview various properties of the Haezendonck–Goovaerts risk measure as a dilatation monotone risk measure. In the special case Φ(x) = x2, we develop an explicit expression for the Haezendonck–Goovaerts risk measure when the risk variable X follows some speciﬁc distributions and propose an empirical algorithm to estimate this risk measure. Moreover, we investigate the performance of some members of this class of risk measures on real data as a possible application of the Haezendonck-Goovaerts risk measure.

Authors: Mačuhová Lucia , Mačuhová Juliana , Oravcová Marta , Tančin Vladimír
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of birth and calving season (spring, summer, autumn, and winter (astronomical)) and birth year on milk production and composition (content of lactose, fat, protein, and total fat and protein (kg, %)) of Holstein first lactating cows. The analysed data based on milk production records of the first lactation Holstein cows (n=158 and n=246 on farm 1 and farm 2, resp.) recorded within the years of 2013 to 2017 on two farms in west part of Slovakia. The birth season of heifers had no significant effect on the milk composition and production. The significant effect of birth year was observed on all parameters evaluated, except on total fat and protein content (%). Milk yield, depending on the birth year, increased from 7793.31±1629.31 kg (in cows born in year 2013) to 9628.76±1386.45 kg (in cows born in year 2017). Similarly, the content (kg) of all components evaluated was higher in cows born in year 2017 than in cows born in year 2013. The influence of the farm was evident in all parameters evaluated, except for total fat and protein and lactose content (%). Milk production and milk composition of first-lactation cows appear to be influenced by factors other than calving and birth season. The management practices implemented on the evaluated farms could be one of the influencing factors

Published: December 2023

The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate dietary intake and nutritional status of chronic renal failure patients with and without dialysis. A total of 105 subjects from three different specialized hospitals located in Dhaka city were included in this study. The subjects were selected purposively. Fifty-nine patients were on dialysis whose median age was 56 years, and forty-six patients were without dialysis whose median age was 52 years. An interviewer administered questionnaire was developed to obtain socio-demographic, anthropometric, and dietary data. Dietary intake was obtained by 24-hour recall. The findings of this study showed that 8.5% of the patients on dialysis were underweight and 39% were overweight while prevalence of underweight and overweight in non-dialysis patients was the same (17.4%). More than 40% of these chronic renal failure patients were found to have no knowledge about potassium rich foods and only 20% were found to have good knowledge about potassium rich foods. Majority of the patients (about 70%) do not have knowledge about uric acid rich foods irrespective of dialysis and non-dialysis condition. Mean intake of different food groups were not significantly different between two groups except that egg consumption was significantly higher (/7=0.01) for dialysis group. Estimated average energy intake was about 17kcal/kg/day in dialysis patients and 18kcal/kg/day in non-dialysis patients. Mean protein intake was 0,95g/kg/day in dialysis and 0.85g/kg/day in non-dialysis patients. No significant difference regarding macro and micro nutrients intake was observed between two groups. All the patients were found to have lower intake of energy than the recommended level. About 68% of dialysis patients and 76% of non-dialysis patients were found to have protein intake below the recommended level. It can be concluded that prevalence of overweight was high in dialysis patients while malnutrition was prevalent in non-dialysis patients. Knowledge about the sources of potassium and uric acid rich-food amongst the subjects was very poor. The consumption of nutrients among the patients belonging to both groups was also grossly inadequate and below the recommended level.

ABSTRACT
The objective of this article is to identify the themes of the materials available on the website of the State Department of Education of Santa Catarina – SED, one of the sources of guidance for the pedagogical practices of high school teachers during the pandemic. The theoretical framework is based on authors who discuss high school curriculum policies and the use of digital information and communication technologies. With a qualitative approach, the exploratory research was carried out based on documentary analysis, considering the materials available on the SED website. The results reveal that teachers were equipped with digital tools from “Google for Education” and through training webinars. There is a perceived weakness in relation to the training of high school teachers during this period, which minimizes the recent discussions on the agenda in the country regarding curricular policies for the nw high school, and which proposes openness to public-private partnership.

Tear osmolarity was obtained using I-PEN® (I-MED Pharma, Inc.). The TBUT, Schirmer test, Oxford scale, OSDI, and MGD grade were used to assess the cases, and their correlations with tear osmolarity were analyzed.Results: Spearman and Pearson correlation analyses showed a significant correlation between tear osmolarity and MGD grade (p < 0.001) and OSDI (p = 0.005). However, the results of the TBUT, Schirmer test, and Oxford scale were not significantly related to tear osmolarity. The patients were divided according to MGD severity into those with MGD grades ≤ 2 and those with MGD grades ≥ 3. Tear osmolarity (p < 0.001) and OSDI (p = 0.014) showed significant differences between the two groups.Conclusions: In patients with obstructive MGD, tear osmolarity, assessed using I-PEN® (I-MED Pharma, Inc.), is significantly correlated with MGD grade and OSDI.

Authors: Kim Ui Hwan , Choi Tae-Hoon
Published: December 2023

Purpose: We compared the clinical outcomes of patients who received AcrySof IQ Panoptix TFNT00 (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA), a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL), or TECNIS Synergy ZFR00V (Johnson & Johnson Vision, Santa Ana, CA, USA), a hybrid multifocal-extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL.Methods: In total, 26 eyes of 13 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of the diffractive trifocal IOL (group A) and 24 eyes of 12 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of the hybrid multifocal-EDOF IOL (group B) were included. We assessed visual acuity using the logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) scale and evaluated the visual performance of both groups, including uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and the defocus curve at 1 month postoperatively. In addition, we measured contrast sensitivity and administered a satisfaction questionnaire at 3 months postoperatively.Results: At 1 month postoperatively, group B demonstrated significantly better monocular UDVA, UNVA and binocular UNVA compared to group A (0.07 ± 0.07, 0.24 ± 0.16, and 0.18 ± 0.15 vs. 0.13 ± 0.09, 0.33 ± 0.14, and 0.29 ± 0.11; p < 0.05). In addition, group B exhibited higher visual acuities in the monocular and binocular defocus curves at +1.00 diopters (D), -3.00 D, -3.50 D, and +1.00 D (p < 0.05). Notably, the binocular defocus curves of both groups demonstrated excellent logMAR visual acuities (better than 0.2) in the range of 0.00 to -3.00 D. However, no significant differences were observed between the groups in contrast sensitivity or satisfaction questionnaire responses for visual acuity at 3 months postoperatively (p > 0.05).Conclusions: The hybrid multifocal-EDOF IOL demonstrates superior near visual acuity compared to the diffractive trifocal IOL. However, both IOLs exhibit excellent visual acuity at distant, intermediate, and near distances.

Purpose: We describe a case with retinal alterations similar to those of nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion, but also with superior ophthalmic vein compression attributable to a traumatic, subperiosteal orbital hematoma.Case summary: A 13-year-old male presented with left periorbital edema, a decrease in vision, and diplopia after blunt periorbital trauma. In ophthalmological evaluations, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.4 (20/50) and a severe supraduction limitation was apparent (grade -4). Fundus examination revealed optic disc swelling, retinal vein dilation/tortuosity, and an arteriovenous transit time delay of 26s. Fluorescein angiography evidenced optic disc leakage. Ocular sonography and orbital magnetic resonance imaging revealed a superior subperiosteal hematoma in the left orbit accompanied by superior ophthalmic vein compression. We scheduled emergency hematoma evacuation. One month later, the BCVA had increased to 1.0 (20/20) and ocular movement was no longer limited. Orbital computed tomography showed that the superior ophthalmic vein compression had resolved and that the abnormalities observed in the initial fundus examination and fluorescein angiography had improved.Conclusions: Retinal changes that resemble nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion including retinal venous dilation and tortuosity may develop after a traumatic, orbital subperiosteal hematoma. Compressive obstruction of the superior ophthalmic vein may then be in play. Early surgical intervention featuring hematoma evacuation may prevent irreversible visual deterioration.

Authors: Park Sejun , Park Jong Beom , Kim Kiyoung
Published: December 2023

Purpose: To report a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like syndrome that occurred during immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) in a patient with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Case summary: A 64-year-old female visited our clinic complaining of decreased visual acuity in both eyes. The patient had NSCLC and had been prescribed immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) by the Department of Pulmonology. Fundus examination and optical coherence tomography revealed multiple intraretinal cysts and subretinal fluid in both eyes. After evaluation using fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease was diagnosed in both eyes and oral prednisolone 40 mg/day was prescribed for 2 weeks. At an outpatient visit at that time, the symptoms had improved, and fundus examination and optical coherence tomography revealed decreases in the number of intraretinal cysts and the subretinal fluid level. Oral prednisolone was reduced to 20 mg/day for 2 weeks. At an outpatient visit at that time, the symptoms had further improved; no cysts or subretinal fluid were apparent on fundus examination or optical coherence tomography, and only a small amount of subretinal fluid was present near the macula of the right eye.Conclusions: VKH disease may develop during immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) but can be rapidly diagnosed and treated with oral steroids.

Purpose: We report two cases of sudden intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in children after steroid treatment.Case summary: (Case 1) An 8-year-old boy visited the hospital with vomiting and headache that had begun 3 days after application of dexamethasone eyedrops. IOPs were 55 and 62 mmHg in the right and left eyes, respectively; both anterior chambers were normal. The eyedrops were stopped and timolol/dorzolamide was applied twice daily. After intravenous mannitol injection, the IOPs of both eyes decreased to 18 mmHg within 24 hours. (Case 2) A 10-year-old boy diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 three days prior had been prescribed methylprednisolone 4 mg twice daily; he visited the hospital with headache, eye pain, and decreased vision that began 1 day after medication. IOPs were 41 and 54 mmHg in the right and left eyes, respectively; both anterior chambers were normal. After drug discontinuation, timolol/dorzolamide, brimonidine, and latanoprost eyedrops were applied. Subsequently, after intravenous mannitol injection, the IOPs decreased within 24 hours to 7 and 16 mmHg in the right and left eyes, respectively; they remained stable. However, thinning was observed in the retinal nerve fiber and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer.Conclusions: Children can develop rapid IOP elevation after even 1 day of steroid use; residual structural damage may be present, despite prompt treatment. Clinicians must closely monitor such patients for atypical IOP elevation.

Background and Objectives Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment option for subjective tinnitus. There are many reports on its clinical efficacy, but the protocol has not been well established. The purpose of this study was to set an outpatient-based CBT protocol and evaluate its clinical efficacy for tinnitus.Subjects and Method A total of 85 chronic tinnitus patients was assessed in this prospective study. After evaluating for eligibility, 30 patients completed CBT based on a protocol of 5 weekly sessions in an outpatient setting. Therapeutic efficacy was assessed by Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) questionnaires and visual analogue scale (VAS) for tinnitus. The initial scores were compared with the final scores, which were assessed a month after the fifth CBT session.Results The results showed that CBT reduced THI and VAS scores significantly (p<0.05).Conclusion The results of the study suggest that an outpatient-based CBT protocol can be clinically beneficial for patients with tinnitus.

Rationale: Following a mass casualty event, the primary psychological triage of survivors based on clinical symptomatology is difficult for volunteer rescuers who lack the necessary knowledge of mental health issues and are under significant time pressure. To address this concern, descriptive screening tools are needed. In this context, propositions for a triage tool have taken the form of means to describe traumatic exposure or the survivors’ comorbidity factors. Objective: Alternatively, we propose a behaviour-based screening tool built on the Defence Cascade Model. This model assumes that survivors’ behaviours involve a range of motor and physiological defensive reactions. After developing this new kind of screening tool, we tested its reliability and validity. Method: Forty professionals who usually intervene in early psychological intervention units randomly rated a series of survivors’ profiles with either the behavioural tool or a tool based on classical categories of symptoms used as a control condition. The two screening tools were developed by a group of nine experts. Inter-rater reliability (unweighted kappa and Fleiss’ Kappa indexes), criterion validity (Spearman’s Rho and Kendall’s Tau indexes), face validity (subjective evaluation) and construct validity (modal classes of items) were calculated and compared between the two tools. Results: The results show that behavioural screening is significantly more reliable, while showing a significant correlation with symptom-based screening in terms of prioritisation. It also appears to be simpler than symptom screening, with most references to similar clinical concepts.

Prolapse is a frequent disorder of pelvic statics in postmenopausal women. Its occurrence during pregnancy is exceptional. We report one exceptional case of prolapse during pregnancy. A 32 year old multiparous woman was admitted for prolapse after full term delivery in a peripheral hospital. A conservative attitude was decided. The postpartum period was marked by spontaneous regression of the prolapse. Pelvic prolapse during pregnancy could be transient, requiring simple monitoring.

"The basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a malignant tumor representing 75% of all skin cancers other than melanoma [1], is rare on non-exposed skin such as the perianal and genital regions [2]. We describe a woman with BCC of the vulva treated by partial hemivulvectomy. All excision margins were disease-free. The patient recovered without complications. Approximately 200 cases of BCC on perianal and genital skin have been reported in the literature [3,4]. Although the etiology of vulvar BCC is unknown, early diagnosis is important. As BCC on these sites can sometimes appear innocuous, biopsy of all suspicious lesions is recommended [5,6].
