Published: March 2020

Introduction

The under-ascertainment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status on routinely collected health datasets has important implications for understanding the health of this population. By pooling available information on individuals’ Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander status from probabilistically linked datasets, methods have been developed to adjust for this under-recording.

Objectives

To explore different algorithms that enhance reporting of Aboriginal status in birth data to define a cohort of Aboriginal women, examine any differences between women recorded as Aboriginal and those assigned enhanced Aboriginal status, and assess the effects of using different reported populations to estimate within-group comparisons for Aboriginal people.

Methods

Three algorithms, with different levels of inclusiveness, were used to establish different study populations all of which aimed to include all singleton babies born to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander women residing in New South Wales, Australia between 2010 and 2014 and their mothers. The demographics of the four study populations were described and compared using frequencies and percentages. In order to assess the impact on research outcomes and conclusions of using study populations derived from different algorithms, estimates of the associations between smoking during pregnancy and selected perinatal outcomes were compared using rates and relative risks.

Results

Women included in the study population through enhanced reporting were older, less disadvantaged and more commonly resided in urban areas than those recorded as Aboriginal in the birth data. Although rates of smoking and some perinatal outcomes differed between the different study populations, the relative risks of each outcome comparing smoking and non-smoking Aboriginal mothers were very similar when estimated from each of the study populations.

Conclusion

This work provides evidence that estimates of within-group relative risks are reliable regardless of the assumptions made for establishing the study population through the enhanced reporting of indigenous peoples.

Itraconazole merupakan salah satu obat sintetik yang memiliki keterbatasan dalam menghambat pertumbuhan Candida albicans (C. albicans). Kulit buah durian (Durio zibethinus L.) merupakan salah satu tanaman yang memiliki efek antifungal karena mengandung senyawa organik seperti flavonoid, tanin, dan saponin yang mampu menghambat pertumbuhan C. albicans. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menetapkan potensi pengaruh pemberian kombinasi ekstrak kulit buah durian dengan dan tanpa itraconazole terhadap pertumbuhan C. albicans in vitro. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode checkerboard dengan 6 jenis konsentrasi ekstrak kulit buah durian dan 5 jenis konsentrasi iatraconazole dalam menentukan KHM kombinasi. KHM kombinasi bahan uji diuji pada media SDA untuk menetapkan pengaruh kombinasi bahan uji terhadap C. albicans melalui zona hambat yang dibandingkan dengan itraconazole (kontrol positif), ekstrak kulit buah durian, dan akuades (kontrol negatif). Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan pemberian bahan uji kombinasi berpotensi menghambat pertumbuhan C. albicans tanpa dipengaruhi oleh konsentrasi bahan uji. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi kulit buah durian atau itraconazole, maka semakin meningkat pula daya hambat pertumbuhan C. albicans. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah kombinasi ekstrak kulit buah durian dengan itraconazole berpotensi menghambat pertumbuhan C. albicans in vitro.Kata Kunci: Candida albicans, ekstrak kulit buah durian, itraconazole

Prawda baśni, czyli trudne tematy Agnieszki Suchowierskiej
Authors: Lasoń-Kochańska Grażyna
Published: March 2020

The Truth of the Fairytale – Agnieszka Suchowierska’s Tough IssuesAgnieszka Suchowierska made her debut in 2008 and has published three books so far. Two of them: ‘The fairytale is life or, which fairytale are you from?’ or‘Prince the Snow-White. Gender stereotypes in fairytales’ were written collectively with the well-known psychologist Wojciech Eichelberger. They are tales with appended commentaries in the form of conversations between the authoress and the therapist. Already in her debut novel ‘The fairytale is life’, Suchowierska tackles several difficult subjects and poses important questions such as : how can one see the world?; how to be free?; how to find the essence of things? In ‘Prince the Snow-White”, written a few years later, those questions take on the form of reflection on the woman’s cultural condition. The volume contains new versions of traditional fairytales in which men and women switch their roles. This simple gambit lays bare the power of gender stereotypes and manifests the degree to which contemporary culture allows (or disallows) women to do attractive/enjoyable things traditionally reserved for men only. The third book penned by Suchowierska ‘Mat and the world’ was published in 2015. In as much as the potential target readers of her tales are either young people or adults, the last book is dedicated to still younger readers. It tells the story of a plush teddy-bear, manufactured in China, which, due to a curious twist of circumstances, travels around the world. The bear’s journey becomes a pretext for revealing social inequities as well as presenting different cultures and religions. Mat, the bear, is characterized by optimism, activity and self-control in times of crisis. The propagated attitudes and models of upbringing presented in the story are no truisms. The little volume was awarded The Book of 2015 Literary Prize of the Polish section of IBBY.

Bolsheviks and opposition parties at the Council elections: means of formation of the single-party political system
Authors: Salamatova Marina Sergeevna
Published: March 2020

The subject of this research is the mechanism of formation of the single-party political system in Soviet Russia, and dislodgement by the Bolsheviks of opposition parties from the political and electoral process. The article reconstructs the methods of struggle of Bolsheviks against opposition in the course of elections and between election periods, as well as reviews statistical data on the participation of parties in Council elections and different levels of the Congresses of Soviets. The author reveals the role of agitation-propagandistic, repressive, and administrative means of struggle between Bolsheviks and opposition parties, and results of implementation of such methods. The scientific novelty consists in comprehensive examination and classification of the means of struggle of Bolsheviks against opposition parties during the first Council electoral campaigns. The first methods have formed at the elections of 1918, and later undergone extensions and amendments. The range of means of struggle against opposition includes the agitation-propagandistic, repressive, and administrative pressuring. The key role in liquidation of multi-party system was carried out by the repressive and agitation-propagandistic methods, which were not the method used in elections specifically, but produced most significant effect upon the electoral process. Diverse methods of administrative pressuring , such as restriction of pre-election agitation, ban on the speeches of opposition parties representatives, prohibitions on publicizing the lists of opposition candidate (prohibition on participation in the elections), compulsory re-voting, were applied directly at the elections and served as supplements to the more coarse measures of repressive character.
The study of correlation between time perspective and self-regulation in a difficult life situation
Authors: Martyanova Galina Yurievna
Published: March 2020

This article presents the research results of correlation time orientation and parameters of conscious self-regulation among the subject of difficult life situation. The author analyzes the degree of determination of human regulatory activity by orientations towards the present, future, and past. The results of correlation and regression analyses, the differentiated role of time perspective in the processes of planning, modeling, programming, and evaluating the results of arbitrary activity in a difficult life situation is proven. The work focuses on the time perspective as a resource for coping with life difficulties. Analysis of the concept of time perspective is carried out in accordance with the doctrine of F. Zimbardo on time orientation. The main conclusion consists in the statement that focus on the past carries most significance in determining activity of the subjects. Orientation towards the future defines the conditions for regulatory activity, but does not substantiate the dynamics of goals. Focus on the present has most controversial influence upon regulatory activity in a difficult situation.
Stability analysis and uncertainty modeling of vertical and inclined wellbore drilling through heterogeneous field
Authors: Batalha Nathalia A. , Duran Omar Y. , Devloo Philippe R. B. , Vieira Luiz C. M.
Published: March 2020

A stochastic two-dimensional geomechanical model developed by the authors and presented herein is used to analyze wellbore stability in heterogeneous formations. It consists of a finite element model and assumes linear elastic and isotropic material behavior under the plane strain state. The model simulates the stress state around vertical and inclined wellbore when a formation is submitted to internal drilling fluid pressure. This new state of stress may lead to rock failure, which is analyzed through a failure criteria. Since the exact variation of formation’s mechanical properties is not known, a spatially correlated field is used to evaluate the variability of a rock mechanical material property. The correlation between each pair of finite elements is determined by a covariance function. A two-dimensional spatially correlated field is used to verify the correlation between the elements of a vertical wellbore. A different approach, however, is necessary to model inclined wellbores. Once the direction and inclination of a wellbore are defined, a three-dimensional spatially correlated field becomes necessary to best simulate the formation field. Simulations using the stochastic model proposed herein and considering constant elastic modulus have been compared. It is observed that when considering the same elastic modulus along the field, the area of the plastic zone is symmetric at the borehole wall; when using the stochastic model, however, the plastic zone area surrounding the well is not symmetric; thus, the most vulnerable plastic zone may lead to premature failure. Stochastic simulations have been carried out with different heterogeneous fields for vertical and inclined wells, and distributions of the total plastic zone areas are obtained for each case. Based on the stochastic field probabilistic analysis, a distribution function is presented, which aims to define a stability framework analysis to best assist a decision making process in determining if a mud pressure is operationally acceptable or not.
Failure of C2-3 anterior arthrodesis for the treatment of atypical Hangman’s fractures: A three case series
Authors: Aljuboori Zaid , Hoz Samer , Boakye Maxwell
Published: March 2020

Background:

Hangman’s fractures (HF) are defined by bilateral fractures of pars interarticularis of the axis. Most can be treated with a collar. However, the treatment strategies for atypical HF (AHF) involve the pedicles, are unstable, and require fusion. Here, we present three cases of AHF that failed anterior arthrodesis warranting repeat anterior (one case), and posterior fusions (three cases).

Case Description:

One female and two males, ranging from 48 to 69 years of age, presented with AHF. All three were originally treated with C2-3 anterior cervical discectomy/fusion, and all three failed (e.g., resulted in pseudarthrosis/ anterolisthesis/instability). The first patient required a secondary C3 corpectomy/C2-4 arthrodesis, with C1-C4 posterior instrumentation. The latter two patients required secondary C1-C3 posterior fusions. For all three patients, 3–12 months follow-up X-rays confirmed the excellent alignment of the instrumentation and bony fusion.

Conclusion:

Anterior arthrodesis can be utilized to treat AHF, but often fail when addressing AHF. All AHF warranted secondary posterior fusions (e.g., C1-C3 two cases; and C1-C4 one case) and a subset may additionally require more extensive anterior fusions (e.g., C2-C4 with corpectomy of C3).

Authors: Khadim Sheikh Hamdullah , Arshad Tanzila , Mohammad Zainab Sher , Arshad Iqra , Hassan Mohtasheemul
Published: March 2020

In this research we used the structure of SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) for docking with Anti-HIV protease inhibitor drug molecules within pH 4-8. By carrying out the variance analysis of binding energies at pH 4-8, it was revealed that the binding energy and mode of interaction of the potential ligands with SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, was dependent on variation of pH. We found out that two of the selected protease inhibitors have differential binding characteristics with changing pH hence their binding energies and mode of interaction depends upon intracellular pH. This differential binding behavior can lead to development of pH selective potent drug molecules for binding with viral protease at lowered intracellular pH of virus infected cell.

Authors: Berisha Fatlume
Published: March 2020

Although several reforms have shifted the direction of education, a debate on the strengths and limitations of science education in Kosovo has not yet been initiated. The present article analyses the development of chemistry education in Kosovo and encourages questions that could shape science education practices in general. In particular, the article analyses the pre-university chemistry curriculum in Kosovo over the years, as well as examining chemistry teacher education programmes. The analysis is based on descriptive research of data and document analysis. The multidimensional analysis of the issues and challenges of chemistry education will provide recommendations for future research on chemistry education and chemistry teaching practices in order to make chemistry education and the pre-university chemistry curriculum relevant to the context of Kosovo. As pre-university education curricula, especially the curriculum for the natural sciences, and the preparation of both pre-service and in-service teachers in Kosovo are considered challenging, a firm conclusion for actions has not been reached. Nevertheless, the article seeks to spark a debate in the field.
Remanufacturing and surface modification in micro-areas by laser beam and microTIG methods
Authors: Połaski Przemysław , Jakubowski Jerzy
Published: March 2020

Over the past years, intensive development of welding technologies that enable precise impact on the workpiece has been observed. The laser technology is the most known and commonly used tool for precise machining, both in terms of obtaining the appropriate geometry and heat distribution. This technology is now easily available, but it still has many limitations in its "basic edition". An attractive alternative in machining micro-areas can be the arc method ‒ microTIG, which is a modification of the TIG method.The work compares the effects of cladding of selected pairs of substrate materials using the microTIG method and a laser beam. The results of microscopic tests and hardness measurements of deposits made with a laser beam and the microTIG method are presented. The advantage of cladding with the microTIG method was the possibility of obtaining deposits with a lower dilution of the substrate material in the clad weld compared to laser cladding. On the other hand, clad welds produced with the laser beam had a significantly smaller amount of welding defects.

Published: March 2020

Langkap (Arenga obtusifolia) is one of the species of the Arenga clan, which has a wide distribution in Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP). The aim of study was to determine the pattern of spreading langkap in order to support the management of Javan Rhino habitat. The vegetation analysis method used is a combination method between the line method and the path method. Langkap is the dominant species in UKNP at the sapling growth rate, with a density of 480-624 individuals/ha and INP value of 61.47% -78.30%, while the catch density at seedling growth rate is 900- 2,200 individuals/ha with INP value of 21.31% -49.41%. The standard Morisita coefficient value of langkap in each research block and growth rate is obtained in the range of values (-0.32) - 0.51, the spreading pattern shows a clustered spread pattern (Ip> 0) and uniform (Ip <0). The tendency of langkap domination in the research block can be seen from the ratio of catch density compared to the total density or its relative density at various growth rates. This shows that in the dominant catchment area there is a reduction in the density of plants other than langkap, especially the Javan Rhino feed plants.

Authors: Andriani Miranti Widi
Published: March 2020

Career understanding is interpreted as an individual effort to understand themselves both attitudes, abilities, and interests. The importance of understanding career and workplace information is a separate task for individuals. In elementary schools (ES), career understanding is a problem that is often experienced by students. This occurs when students feel unsure about what career path to choose in the future and how to formulate strategies so that their abilities and goals can be realized. Students also have not been able to determine the abilities, talents and interests that have caused confusion and certainly need guidance. The researcher considers it is necessary to implement information services using guidance boards as an effort to help students improve their career understanding. This research’s method of research is Quasi-Experimental Design which uses the equivalent time-series design. On the basis of the results of the study, it can be concluded that information services using a guidance board can affect the career understanding of elementary school students. Group analysis is done by tabulating and illustrating the pretest and posttest score charts. Visually, the results of the study indicate there is an increase in career understanding which includes self-understanding and knowledge of the workforce. Implications for further research that can be obtained is the theoretical findings in this study can be used as information in the field of guidance regarding career understanding in elementary school students, this is seen from the increasing test results.

Reproducibility in Echotracking Assessment of Local Carotid Stiffness, Diameter and Thickness in a Population-based Study (The STANISLAS Cohort Study)
Authors: Bozec Erwan , Girerd Nicolas , Ferreira João Pedro , Latar Ichraq , Zannad Faiez , Rossignol Patrick
Published: March 2020

Background

Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) and stiffness are associated with cardiovascular events. The study aims were to perform a head-to-head comparison of the Wall Track System (WTS) and ART.LAB for carotid IMT, distension and diameter echotracking measurements as well as inter- and intra-observer reproducibility.

Methods

Echotracking measurements were performed with WTS and ART.LAB in 188 participants from the STANISLAS Cohort (mean age 47 ± 14 years). Inter-observer reproducibility analysis was performed in 60 patients consecutively included among the STANISLAS Cohort and two other ongoing cohorts, in whom measurements were successively performed by three operators.

Results

The relative differences between WTS and ART.LAB in artery diameter measurements were minimal (mean difference -1.8%) while the differences in IMT and distension measurements were 6.1% and 4.3%, respectively. The Bland and Altman plots for diameter, distension and intima media thickness showed no measurement bias between ART.LAB and WTS. The internal reproducibility for carotid diameter was good with the two devices (≈2% SD). The ART.LAB performed ≈2-fold better than WTS for IMT internal reproducibility (5% vs. 12.5%, p < 0.0001) and distension internal reproducibility (6.3% vs. 12.4%, p < 0.0001). The inter- and intra-observer reproducibility for carotid diameter and IMT was good for both devices. Complete results were obtained in 1:50 min in ART.LAB and 11:13 min with WTS.

Conclusion

ART.LAB and WTS show good agreement, with good inter- and intra-observer reproducibility with the two devices. Nevertheless, internal reproducibility of ART.LAB is better and measurements are easier to perform, favouring this device for carotid intima media thickness and stiffness measurements.

Synthesis and characterization of bioplastics from Nagara sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L) starch with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a filler has been conducted. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CMC addition on the characteristic of bioplastics from Nagara sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L) starch. Bioplastic synthesis was carried out by the melt intercalation method with variations in the amount of CMC 0-30% (w/w). Bioplastics were analyzed using FTIR spectrophotometer, thickness, solubility, water resistance, water vapor transmission rate, tensile strength and elongation. The values of the tensile strength of the bioplastic produced increases with increasing of CMC. The results also showed that the optimum CMC concentration in bioplastics production is 9% (w/w) with a tensile strength value 0.5281 N/mm2.
»Eichmann schlägt Erschießen vor«
Authors: Spengler Christian
Published: March 2020

Die Debatte über die Person Adolf Eichmanns ist seit den 1960ern von Hannah Arendts Beobachtung des Eichmann-Prozesses in Jerusalem geprägt. Christian Spengler stellt Arendts damalige Einschätzung mithilfe moderner Ansätze der Psychoanalyse erstmals grundlegend und umfassend infrage.

Die Studie ist nicht nur eine Bereicherung für die NS-TäterInnenforschung und für die Diskussionen, die auf Arendts Äußerungen über die Tötungsbürokratie folgten. Spengler zeigt auch exemplarisch die Chancen psychoanalytisch fundierter Untersuchungen historischer Persönlichkeiten: Das theoretische Instrumentarium ermöglicht ihm die detaillierte diagnostische Einschätzung einer schweren Persönlichkeitsstörung Eichmanns.

Fenomena wujud akulturasi arsitektur lokal-modern menjadi penting ditelusuri karena dapat dijadikan konsep arsitektur masa kini (arsitektur kiwari). Objek studi penelitian ini adalah bangunan Casablancka Residence di Bali. Objek studi merupakan bangunan baru dan jarang diteliti, terutama dari aspek wujud akulturasi arsitekturnya. Penelitian ini selain bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan ragam bentuk akulturasi arsitektur lokal - modern yang ditinjau dari aspek ragam bentuk akulturasi, juga untuk melihat mana yang lebih mendonimasi antara arsitektur lokal dan modern yang ada pada bangunan Casablancka Residence. Teori yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah teori archetype yang berfungsi mengungkap fenomena arsitektur Casablancka Residence tersebut. Metoda yang digunakan dalam menelusuri kasus studi adalah deskriptif, analitik dan interpretatif, sesuai dengan karakteristik kasus studi yang diungkap. Hasil dari penelitian ini ditemukan dominasi yang lebih kuat pada unsur lokal dimana secara garis besar nampak pada bagian atap dan alas bangunan yang menggunakan bentuk serta material lokal yang kuat, sedangkan unsur modern lebih dominan pada bagian dinding bangunan  yang didominasi material kaca modern. Manfaat dari penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi positif terhadap masyarakat akan pentingnya penerapan lokalitas dalam membangun serta mengupayakan pelestarian budaya arsitektur lokal dan juga menambah khasanah ilmu pengetahuan arsitektur yang telah ada baik bagi akademik maupun praktisi.
Theory in architectural research
Authors: Sudradjat Iwan

”Teori” merupakan terminologi yang maknanya jarang dipahami dengan benar oleh para mahasiswa, dosen dan bahkan peneliti sekalipun. Gambaran mental yang mereka miliki tentang teori adalah sesuatu yang abstrak, mengawang-awang, rumit, oleh karena itu dianggap sebagai hal yang patut dihindari. Seorang sosiolog terkenal Ian Craib (1984) dengan tepat memberikan gambaran tersebut: ”The very word “theory”sometimes seems to scare people … (Only) few people feel at home with theory or use it in a productive way”.

Tidak dapat dibantah, teori mempunyai kedudukan yang sangat penting dalam penelitian di bidang ilmu apapun, termasuk penelitian di bidang arsitektur. Teori berperan untuk menjelaskan keterkaitan antara suatu fenomena dengan data empiris yang diamati dan dianalisis secara sistematis oleh peneliti. Kerlinger (1973) mendefinisikan teori sebagai ”seperangkat konsep, definisi dan proposisi yang menyajikan gambaran sistematik tentang suatu fenomena beserta hubungan di antara variabel-variabelnya, dengan tujuan memberi penjelasan atau memprediksi tentang fenomena tersebut”.

Lebih lanjut Neuman (2003) menjelaskan bahwa teori memiliki peran penting dalam mengkaitkan suatu hasil penelitian dengan sejumlah pengetahuan relevan yang telah disumbangkan oleh para peneliti sebelumnya, sehingga melalui penelitiannya seorang peneliti tidak hanya mampu melihat sebatang pohon, tetapi sebuah hutan yang dipenuhi dengan banyak pohon. Teori dengan kata lain berperan meningkatkan kesadaran peneliti terhadap interkonektisitas di antara data dan hasil penelitian.

Sayangnya banyak peneliti yang tidak mampu secara eksplisit menentukan teori mana yang sesuai dengan penelitiannya, dan bagaimana teori tersebut harus digunakan. Sebagai akibatnya mereka cenderung menjadi peneliti yang a-teoretis dan perannya hanya terbatas pada kolektor data empiris.

Untuk meneliti tentang makna dalam arsitektur misalnya, seorang peneliti secara eksplisit harus menetapkan alternatif teori mana yang paling relevan baginya di antara sekian banyak teori yang telah berkembang, apakah teori strukturalisme, fenomenologi, pasca strukturalisme atau teori lainnya.

The task of the principal and teachers is to provide services by showing what students need, feel and aspire to within the limits of authority. Student administration is the activity of recording students from the admission process to students graduating from school. The process of accepting students at school by selection and recording of students entering the school. Teachers can be involved in the admission of new students, by appointing them as admissions committees who can carry out technical tasks ranging from recording admissions to reporting on task implementation. A big role in the orientation period is held by the first grade teacher, besides the principal. The teacher's task is to make students more quickly adapt to the school environment.After admission, the teacher fosters the student so that he develops his abilities to the maximum by knowing the environment and adjusting to the demands of the school. Teachers must be able to create an atmosphere that encourages student motivation to always be high achievers. At the end of the year is the End of Semester Examination. The teacher plays a big role in creating good school or class discipline, because in school is a time of formation of a very decisive discipline for the future. To make students disciplined, the teacher is expected to be an example or role model for their students
In search of feasible interventions for the prevention and cure of novel Coronavirus disease 2019
Authors: Verma Sunil
Published: March 2020

COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a public health emergency of international concern caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As of this time, there is no known effective pharmaceutical, phytopharmaceutical or traditional medicine for cure or prevention of COVID-19, although it is urgently needed. Based on the current understanding of the disease molecular mechanisms from the closest relatives of SARS-CoV-2 as well as novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, I attempt to translate this knowledge into identifying some naturally occurring plant based substances and Ayurvedic medicinal herbs that could feasibly be used as preventive as well as treatment options for COVID-19.

Seorang teman pernah mengatakan : “Setiap orang ada masanya/zamannya, setiap masa/zaman ada orangnya”. Dan memang demikian. Dalam pekerjaan Tuhan juga seperti itu: setiap manusia Tuhan atau ada masanya, setiap masa ada manusia Tuhannya yang Tuhan bangkitkan untuk meneruskan pekerjaanNa di dunia ini. Setiap ‘manusia Tuhan’ dipakai Tuhan sesuai dengan anugrah dan otoritasnya sekalipun si manusia Tuhan itu mempunyai banyak kekurangan dan kelemahan. Kita bersyukur bahwa Kitab Suci kita sangat jujur menceriterakan tentang manusia Tuhan - manusia Tuhan dengan segala kelebihan dan segala kekurangannya sehingga kita masa kini dapat belajar daripadanya.

Pada masa itu di Efesus muncul Aliran Gnostik dan agama-agama misteri sehingga diperlukan senjata untuk melawan roh-roh jahat. Perlu diketahui bahwa jemaat disana bukan baru mengenal Kristus tetapi mereka sedang dalam masa pendewasaan Iman sehingga diperlukan perlengkapan Allah/rohani untuk melawan.
