Pandemi Covid-19 memberikan dampak yang sangat besar bagi ekonomi, sosial, dan politik pada seluruh negara di dunia. Indonesia adalah salah satu negara yang terdampak terutama pada sisi ekonomi. Selama masa pandemi Covid-19 ini penurunan aktivitas masyarakat sangat dirasakan. Hal tersebut saat ini sedang terjadi pada salah satu LPD yang ada di Bali yaitu LPD Desa Adat Kesiman. Pada masa pandemi Covid-19, LPD Desa Adat Kesiman mengalami penurunan tabungan dan deposito yang mengakibatkan penyaluran kredit menurun dan terhambat. Karena wabah pandemi Covid-19 ini yang menyebabkan banyak masyarakat mengalami PHK (Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja) dan kehilangan penghasilan sehingga tidak dapat menyisihkan penghasilannya untuk ditabung bahkan tidak dapat membayar kreditnya. Maka dari itu dunia perbankan termasuk LPD didalamnya mengeluarkan kebijakan dalam pemberian keringan kredit terhadap nasabahnya di masa pandemi Covid-19, salah satunya LPD Desa Adat Kesiman. Adapun solusi yang dapat diberikan pada permasalahan yang terjadi di lokasi penelitian yaitu berdasarkan surat edaran pengumuman mengenai pembayaran angsuran pinjaman bagi debitur yang terdampak Covid-19, LPD Desa Adat Kesiman dapat (apabila diperlukan) memberikan kebijakan kepada nasabah debitur dalam bentuk restrukturisasi kredit. Dengan adanya restrukturisasi kredit, merupakan upaya perbaikan yang dilakukan dalam kegiatan perkreditan terhadap debitur yang mengalami kesulitan untuk memenuhi kewajiban pembayaran angsuran kreditnya.

Authors:   , Coward Journey
Published: January 2022

While previous studies identify doodling as a useful educational tool, this study sought to determine if doodling can build creative or emotional self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is an individual’s belief in their own capacity to express behaviors necessary to attain specific performance goals. The current study also sought to determine if doodling can be a form of self-care. Research collected was quantitative and qualitative using surveys to measure both creative and emotional self-efficacy along with a doodling activity. Ten participants were recruited through convenience sampling on social media and were included in the study after meeting the inclusion criteria of identifying themselves as a normally functioning adult. Individual times spent on doodling ranged from thirty minutes to three hours. The study took place during the Covid-19 pandemic which impacted the ability to recruit volunteer participants. The researcher collected data from the Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES) and Creative Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES). The results from this study support the use of doodling in art therapy as well as its effect on an individual’s self-expression and self-efficacy. The research also explores the use of doodling as a form of self-care. Recommendations for future research include expanding the population size and variety, as well as having a facilitator present to guide and witness the process.

The Effect of Liquid Organic Fertilizer From Coconut Husk And Dolomite On Shallot (Allium Cepa L.) Growth And Yield
Authors: Jayanti Kamelia Dwi , Tanari Yulinda
Published: January 2022

Shallot is the most produced vegetable in Indonesia. The consumption of shallot per kg/capita/year is continuously increasing, therefore there is a need to ensure enough supply. The lack of nutrients in the soil is a problem in shallot production. Shallot needs macronutrients such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), and Calcium (Ca) to improve its yield and quality. The application of liquid organic fertilizer from coconut husk and dolomite can be the solution. This study was conducted using Factorial Randomized Block Design consisting of two factors, concentration of liquid organic fertilizer (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) and dolomite (with dolomite or without). The results showed that the application of 20% liquid organic fertilizer, the application of dolomite, and the combination of both (P2D1) had the highest value on fresh shallot bulbs weight per clumps and bulb weight after storage parameters, and had the lowest value on weight loss percentage parameter.

Published: January 2022

The study examined budget and financial control in selected government parastatals in Nigeria. The survey research design was adopted in the study. Primary data was obtained using a well-designed questionnaire. Data gathered in the study was analyzed using descriptive, correlation analysis, logit regression analysis and other post estimation tests. Findings obtained in the study indicated that budget preparation exerts insignificant positive impact on financial control in Nigerian government parastatals with coefficient estimate of .034178 (p=0.195> 0.05); budget implementation exerts insignificant positive impact on financial control of Nigerian government parastatals with coefficient estimate of .0082354 (p=0.750> 0.05) and budget monitoring and evacuation exert insignificant positive impact on financial control, with coefficient estimate of .0468773 (p=0.234> 0.05). Premise on these findings, the study concluded that financial control on the average tends to increase as government parastatals experience effectual budget performance, with more budget preparation, implementation and monitoring and evaluation as opposed to the usual neglect of budget after implementation. Hence, it was suggested that government should ensure improvement in budget design; government should ensure adequate budget monitoring procedure and government should ensure viable budget evaluation procedure.
On patients who explode: surviving petrifying psychotherapeutic experiences
Authors: Kahr Brett
Published: January 2022

Although most of our patients will enter the consulting room quite quietly, often in a depressive state, having contained their sadistic impulses, a tiny fraction of those with whom we work will attack us in a variety of chilling ways. In this article, the author describes in detail two particularly terrifying clinical experiences in which a patient either threatened to kill him or actually sullied his consulting room with bodily fluids. Drawing upon his psychotherapeutic encounters not only with intellectually disabled patients and forensic patients but, also, with those who presented as ordinary “normal-neurotics”, the author considers the phenomenology of these “bomb”-like explosions and explains how he attempted to maintain a classical psychoanalytical focus of understanding, which consisted of a careful scrutiny of the countertransference and a firm commitment to the interpretation of unconscious material, whilst under attack. Furthermore, he examines the essential role of speaking with experienced colleagues who will provide essential supervision or assistance during these challenging chapters of clinical practice. The author also considers the many ways in which “bombs” can be hurled not only by the more obviously dangerous or disturbed individuals but, also, with surprising frequency, by those with no criminal history whatsoever, who, upon first encounter, often present as reasonably healthy.

This work is devoted to the development of a technique for obtaining an array of multi-walled vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT) with a thickness of up to 120 μm on Si/Al2O3/Fe substrates and to the study of their absorbing properties in the THz spectral region, as well as to the assessment of their prospects as a broadband THz radiation absorber based on calculations of the spectral dependence of absorption coefficient for traditional and inverted-type bolometric devices. It is shown that the absorption of the VACNT array transferred onto the Revalpha polymer substrate reaches 70–80% in the wavelength range of 40–200 µm. Calculations show that traditional bolometers with an absorber based on VACNT have the best sensitivity at wavelengths less than 100 μm, and inverted bolometers also having a VACNT layer have the best sensitivity at wavelengths exceeding 50 μm, which makes them complementary to each other.

Published: January 2022

The article studies the propagation of electromagnetic waves in metal-dielectric systems based on opals. We revealed anomalous transmission and absorption of light by hybrid plasmon- photonic layered heterostructures associated with the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons propagating along the metal-dielectric interface. The position of maxima in the reflection spectra of nanocomposites, obtained by filling the opal matrix with metal by the electrothermodiffusion method, is explained by the Bragg diffraction, and the asymmetric form of the spectral curves is attributed to the Fano resonance.

Background: Stroke is a dreadful health hazard all over the world as well as in our country. The relationship between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and acute ischaemic stroke is not well studied especially in Bangladesh. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the association of C-reactive protein (CRP) in acute ischemic stroke .Materials and Methods: This case-control study was carried out in the Department of Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka during the period from January 2006 to December 2007. A total of 30 acute ischaemic stroke patients were included in the case group. Another 30 age and sex matched and apparently healthy persons without any stroke were taken as controls. Results: The stroke patients [21 (70.0%) male; mean age, 56.3 (SD±13.7) years] and control subjects [25 (83.3%) male; mean age, 53.4 (SD ± 9.9) years] were similar in age and sex (p>0.05 each). CRP level was significantly higher in acute ischaemic stroke patients than that of control [42.06 (SD ± 21.26) mg/L; vs 4.30 (SD ± 0.072) mg/L; p<0.001]. CRP was found positive in 28 (93.7%) stroke patients and none of the control subjects. CRP was 16 times significantly higher in stroke patients than that of control subjects (OR=16.00; 95% CI=4.18-61.22; p<0.001).Conclusion: This study confirms that CRP is elevated in acute ischaemic stroke. More local studies are required regarding the significance of CRP as a risk factor for acute ischemic stroke.

Methodology: This retrospective cross sectional observational study was carried out in the Department of Neurology and Department of Medicine of Dhaka Medical College Hospital. (DMCH), during March, 2010 to February, 2011 in patients admitted with a history of first ever stroke. The duration of the study was one year .For this purpose, a total number of 140 patients, of which 70 were included in ischemic stroke and 70 in intracerebral haemorrhage group. CT scan of head of each patient was done at least 6 hours after the onset of the event .CT diagnosed cases of infarct and ICH were included in this study and subarachnoid haemorrhage cases were excluded. CT negative cases were further investigated by MRI brain when the clinical suspicions of stroke were strong.

Results: The mean age of the patients having features of ischemic stroke and intracerebral haemorrhage were 59.81±11.08 and 57.21±10.09 respectively. Male female ratio was 1.92:1 and 1.69:1 in IS group and ICH group respectively. Regarding the risk factor hypertension and smoking were observed most common risk factors in the study patients in both groups. However, diabetes mellitus, arrhythmia, ischemic heart disease and dyslipidemia were observed more common in patients of ischemic stroke than ICH patients. Among the studied patients, ischemic stroke was observed more common in parietal region (20% of patients), internal capsule/ capsular region (17.14% of patients) and caudate nucleus region (10% of patients). ICH was observed most frequently 32.86% (n=23), 15.71% (n=11) and 5.71% (n=4) in lentiform nucleus/putamen, thalamus and combined gangliothalamic region respectively. In both group left sided lesion prevailed more than right side. In case of ischemic strokes, left side lesion was 61.43% .In intracerebral haemorrhage, left side lesion was 58.57%. It was also observed that deep intracerebral haemorrhage is the most common location (74.29%) than the lobar region (25.71%).

Conclusion: Site of predilection of lesions and their distribution pattern differ in ischemic stroke and intracerebral haemorrhage. This study revealed that infarcts were more common in parietal and capsular region and haemorrhage were more common in putamen, thalamus and combined gangliothalamic regions. Ischemic stroke and ICH also have differences in clinical presentation and risk factor profile.

Background:Pain in the neck is a common complaint of the patients attending the hospital. In clinical practice, neck pain is seen frequently as a presenting symptom and sometimes it becomes disabling and compromises the working capacity. One of the most common causes of pain in the neck is cervical spondylosis. Rehabilitation treatment may play an important role to improve the condition of the patients. For this purpose, the study was done to find out the effects of rehabilitation treatment on chronic neck pain to improve the present situation regarding treatment.

Methodology: A randomized clinical trial was conducted in the department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 150 patients were included and they were divided into two groups: group-A and group-B. Group-A was treated with selective rehabilitation and Group –B was treated with NSAID only. History, clinical examination and relevant investigations were done. The findings were recorded at first attendance and follow up was done weekly for six weeks. The results were expressed as mean ± SD and the level of significance was expressed by p-value unless otherwise stated. Student’s ‘t’ tests was done to test the hypothesis.

Results: Among the study subjects 48(32 %)were male and 102 (68 %) were female. The male female ratio was 1: 2.12. There was significant improvement in both the group after treatment ( P= 0.001). But in comparison between two groups, all the baseline criteria were identical. There was no significant improvement between two groups up to 5th weak( P>05) but significant improvement was seen in Group-B than Group-A after six weeks treatment (P= 0.03). This results indicates that the improvement of the patient with cervical spondylosis was seen in selective rehabilitation group and in NSAIDs group. And improvementwas same in both the group up to 5th week and after six weeks more improvement was found in NSAIDs group.

Conclusions: By this study, it may be concluded that to reduce symptom and disability, rehabilitation treatment can be used effectively for the treatment of chronic neck pain without analgesics and by this way nephropathy due to NSAIDs can be avoided.

One of the strategies that can be implemented by the teachers is utilizing Canvas as one of Learning Management Systems (henceforth LMS) in their course. This study aims to investigate the students’ perception towards the use of Canvas to promote interactive online learning. Implementing case study as the research design, this study involved 77 students as the participants, and used both questionnaire and semi-structured interview to collect the data. In this study, the quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings of this study revealed that students accessed Canvas ranging for less than 1 hour to more than 2 hours in a week.  They accessed it mostly to join some learning activities designed by the teacher, including reading the learning modules, joining online discussion, and doing the assignments given by the teachers. They also believe that during the online learning, Canvas is an easy-to-use LMS, and it provides a lot of features that help them learning. Besides, they also agree that Canvas is effective to provide them the opportunity have an interactive learning experience. In addition, they also perceived that using Canvas motivated them, and make the learning process more interesting.

Published: January 2022

Paradigm shifts in the field of education have been an issue in the Philippines since the COVID-19 pandemic struck. To fill this gap, this study sought to highlight the pedagogical practices and teaching experiences of award-winning educators in a State University. The qualitative data extracted from semi-structured interviews were analyzed following a thematic analysis based on descriptive phenomenology. One finding revealed that the educators’ years in service and educational attainments were helpful in their migration from face-to-face to distance education, even though the number of course preparations was a weight on their shoulders. Secondly, the educators conducted their classes through preparation and implementation via fifteen instructional methods, formative and summative assessments, and feedback. On another note, the educators determined six roadblocks in their teaching practice with explanations on how they overcame them. Amidst all these, they mentioned that it is imperative to uphold empathy in the conduct of their classes.

Результати досліджень, що опубліковано в статті, будуть корисні для фахівців логістичного забезпечення, які займаються питаннями організації експлуатації та відновлення озброєння та військової техніки. У статті розглядається методичний підхід щодо обґрунтування раціонального варіанта модернізації зенітного ракетного озброєння з урахуванням зміни властивостей елементів радіоелектронної апаратури і можливостей щодо створення елементів функціональних систем на сучасній елементній базі. Проаналізовані існуючі у науково-технічній літературі публікації, присвячені питанням морального старіння складних технічних систем різного призначення, в тому числі стану елементної бази радіоелектронної апаратури зразків зенітного ракетного озброєння, встановлено, що завдання, пов’язані з модернізацією функціональних систем зразків зенітного ракетного озброєння з урахуванням зміни властивостей елементів обладнання, використовуючи при цьому сучасну елементну базу, на даний час є невирішеним, що дозволило визначити наукове завдання, що полягає в подальшому розвитку науково-методичного апарату вибору раціонального варіанту модернізації зенітного ракетного озброєння з урахуванням зміни властивостей елементів радіоелектронної апаратури і можливостей щодо створення елементів функціональних систем на сучасній елементній базі. Обґрунтовано вибір доцільного варіанту модернізації функціональних систем зразків зенітного ракетного озброєння з декількох альтернативних як за рівнем глибини модернізації, так за використовуваною елементною базою з використання методичного апарату, в якості якого виступатиме запропонований методичний підхід до обґрунтування раціонального варіанту модернізації функціональних систем зі створенням їх елементів на сучасній елементній базі. Показано, що в умовах, що склалися, доцільною є розробка модернізованих систем (блоків, субблоків) зразків зенітного ракетного озброєння та їх складових частин на базі імпортованих елементів з урахуванням додаткових організаційних та технічних заходів щодо забезпечення надійності у визначених умовах експлуатації. Наведено, що для вирішення поставленого завдання потрібне обґрунтування та вибір показників та критерію ефективності, використання яких дозволить описати кожен з варіантів модернізації зі створенням елементу функціональних систем на сучасній елементній базі, в тому числі матеріальні та часові витрати, та порівняти їх між собою.
Перспективи розвитку українського суспільства крізь призму праці Л. Кучми “Україна – не Росія”
Authors: Chornyi Vitalii
Published: January 2022

У статті здійснено аналіз особливостей розвитку низки нових незалежних держав, а саме Південної Кореї, Індонезії, Філіппін та Тайваню, які, на думку другого президента України Л. Кучми, за короткий період досягли вражаючих результатів внаслідок проведення успішної модернізації. Встановлено, що головні умови успіху зазначених країн закладені в універсальній формулі “сильна держава, соціальний порядок, дисципліна”. Ця формула передбачала певну програму дій, а саме: централізацію влади у руках сильного президента як єдиний засіб консолідації суспільства; пріоритет модернізації економіки; ліквідацію кланово-олігархічної системи; проведення ефективної аграрної реформи. Спираючись на вищезазначене обґрунтовано доктринальні принципи, на яких має будуватися сучасна українська держава. Ці принципи спрямовані на формування спільноти заможних, самодостатніх громадян з розвиненим почуттям гідності та оптимізму, а це, у свою чергу, код до перезавантаження та нового шляху творення Великої України.
