PENINGKATAN PROSES DAN HASIL BELAJAR TEMATIK DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN MODEL PICTURE AND PICTURE DI KELAS V SD NEGERI 218/II LIMBUR BARU
Authors: Martinis  , Abdulah
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Based on observations at SD Negeri 218 Limbur, the learning outcomes of class V students are still relatively low. This can be seen from the minimum completion criteria (KKTP) set by the school of 75, out of 23 students, only 12 students have completed their studies and 11 other students have not yet completed their studies. Student learning outcomes are still low because the learning used still uses conventional methods (lectures). This method makes students passive and less creative, so it is necessary to use a learning model that can make students more active and interested in learning. A model that can be applied is, for example, using the Picture and Picture learning model. The aim of this research is to improve student learning outcomes in thematic subject material on natural events that occur in Indonesia and their impact on living things and the environment by using the Picture and Picture model for class V students at SD Negeri 218 Limbur first semester 2023/2024 academic year Type The research used was Classroom Action Research (PTK) which consisted of 2 cycles with the research subjects being class V students with the Competency Standard "Understanding changes that occur in nature and their relationship with the use of natural resources" at SD Negeri 218 Limbur. The research results show that the use of the Picture and Picture learning model can improve student learning outcomes. In cycle I, an average score of 81 was obtained with a completion percentage of 78% and this increased in cycle II with an average score of 89 with a completion percentage of 96%. From the results of this research it can be concluded that the use of the Picture and Picture learning model can improve thematic learning outcomes of class V students at SD Negeri 218 Limbur.

Ensuring the right to a fair trial in the documentation of the contravention through the provisions of the ECHR
Authors: Antoci Albert , Lile Adrian
Published: October 2024

Undoubtedly, the right to a fair trial is one of the fundamental rights enjoyed by anyone involved in a contravention process. Although it is not directly enshrined in the contravention law, it is nonetheless embedded in the content of the law, and its application is an obligation of the state authorities involved in the implementation of the contravention process. Both national jurisprudence and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights underscore the role this principle plays in the administration of justice, with its non-compliance resulting in the violation of guaranteed fundamental principles and rights. Although a contravention poses a lesser social danger compared to a crime, this fact should not affect the proper conduct of the contravention process, such that the enforcement officer ignores the observance of all legal principles in the examination of the contravention.
Equality between citizens. language as criterion of discrimination
Authors: Arseni Alexandru , Săftoiu Mihaela
Published: October 2024

Equality is a trivalent constitutional principle. It can be regarded both as a general principle of rights, as a fundamental right and as an additional guarantee for the exercise of fundamental rights, freedoms and duties. Respect for the principle of equality for all persons irrespective of race, nationality, ethnic origin, language, religion, sex, opinion, political affiliation, wealth or social origin excludes discrimination and is a catalyst for human dignity. Non-discrimination is a basic rule in human rights law and a resonance of the principle of equality. All relevant international human rights treaties and declarations contain references to discrimination. In national domestic legislation, especially at constitutional level, equality between citizens and discrimination also feature prominently. Language discrimination is based on one of the criteria for discrimination laid down in the constitutional norm: the criterion “language”.

From Waste to Wellness: Promoting Hygiene Practices through Recycling and Reuse of Soap Waste Generated from Hospitality Industry
Authors: B. Shinde Priyanka , Jha Saket
Published: October 2024

The present study explores the Soap for Hope initiative, which collects and recycles discarded soap from hotels to provide hygiene resources to underserved communities. From April 2023 to March 2024, the program collected 12,367.87 kg of used soap from participating hotel groups, recycling 9,490 kg into 93,716 soap bars. A total of 83,202 bars were distributed, primarily in low-income areas, in conjunction with Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) awareness campaigns. These efforts align with global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly the targets for improving sanitation and hygiene in vulnerable populations. The data highlights the contribution of major cities such as Delhi (44% of the total soap collection), Bangalore (20%), and Mumbai (16%), while smaller cities like Chennai and Goa provided more modest contributions.
The program showcases the power of corporate social responsibility by the corporates and the hospitality industry by addressing environmental sustainability through waste reduction, and public health by improving hygiene access. Recycling soap not only diverts waste from landfills but also provides communities with a critical resource to prevent hygiene-related diseases. However, challenges remain in expanding participation to smaller hotel groups and cities and enhancing recycling efficiency. This study concludes that the Soap for Hope initiative represents a scalable model with significant benefits for both environmental sustainability and community health, offering a replicable framework for other regions and industries.

Determinants of Physical Violence Against Women Aged 15-49 in Zambia: Evidence from Zambia Demographic and Health Survey 2018
Authors: Chipokoso Tyson , Kampango Lubona S. , Makwalu Taurai
Published: October 2024

Background: Physical violence occurs in many forms such as when someone pushes you, shakes you, or throws something at you, slaps you, twists your arm or pulls your hair, punches you with his fist or threatens or attacks you with a knife, gun or any other weapon. The main objective of this study was to establish the determinants of physical violence against women aged 15-49 in Zambia.
Method: The number of women aged 15-49 selected and interviewed for domestic violence (9,503) allowed for determination of the association between demographic and socioeconomic factors and physical violence using Pearson chi-square test, with further analysis using multiple binary logistic regression analysis to determine the likelihood of experiencing physical violence.
Results: Women in the age groups 25-29 and 40-44 had increased odds of experiencing physical violence at 54 percent and 57 percent, (AOR=1.57, p-value 0.05) and (AOR=1.54, p-value 0.03) respectively, compared to those in the age group 15-19. Further, divorced/separated/widowed were 3 times more likely to experience physical violence compared to the never married (AOR=3.42, p-value<0.05). Fifty percent of women who experienced physical violence never sought help, and never told someone.
Conclusion: Physical violence was more prevalent among the divorced/separated/widowed women and among women in the age groups 25-29 and 40-44 years. This indicates that more research is needed to determine the consequences of physical violence against women aged 15-49.

A Comprehensive Review of Recent Advancements in Lower Extremity Orthoses and their Impact on Gait in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Authors: Sharma Shreya , Mehra Shivangi , Saharawat Sakshi
Published: October 2024

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and motor skills. Recent advancements in gait analysis and treatment have significantly improved the diagnosis and management of cerebral palsy.
Objective: The objective of this literature review is to assess and evaluate the recent trends observing the effect of lower limb orthoses on gait parameters among children with Cerebral Palsy in order to attain a better knowledge which can be implemented in improvising the treatment protocol in terms of orthoses for Children with Cerebral Palsy.
Methodology: PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of knowledge, Cochrane library, EMBASE and Google Scholar were searched for articles published between 2008 and 2023 of studies of children with CP wearing the AFOs. Outcomes investigated with a recent advancement in orthoses in last 15 years to encourage the treatment procedure.
Result: The review of fifteen studies involving 4361 children with cerebral palsy (CP) found that ankle foot orthoses, such as SAFO, SMO, PLS, FRAFO, and Thera suit, can improve gait parameters, walking speed, stride length, knee and ankle range of motion, and reduce energy consumption during the gait cycle. However, the efficacy of rehabilitation interventions for children with CP remains inconclusive. Most authors suggest that AFO can influence or help in postural control, while one study suggested that FRAFO can improve knee alignment but may not be helpful in improving postural control.
Conclusion: Overall orthoses can improve kinematics, kinetics & spatial temporal parameters of gait among patients with cerebral palsy.

Aicardi Syndrome: Case Series
Authors: Rao T. Rama , Kalita Dwip Jyoti , Alam Shahzad
Published: October 2024

Aicardi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects females and is marked by three main clinical features: agenesis of the corpus callosum, chorioretinal lacunae, and seizures. The absence or abnormal development of the corpus callosum impairs communication between the brain's hemispheres, resulting in various neurological issues. Seizures, commonly appearing as infantile spasms, are frequent and can vary in severity and frequency. Aicardi syndrome is usually diagnosed in infancy through clinical evaluation and imaging studies. Effective care and management of Aicardi syndrome require a multidisciplinary approach.
Case presentation: A 2-month-old girl was brought to our hospital after experiencing multiple episodes of generalized spasticity characterized by hyperflexion of the upper and lower extremities toward the trunk (tonic seizures) and rapid jerking movements of the eyes. Additionally, she showed signs of delayed psychomotor development.
A 29-day-old girl was admitted for evaluation of abnormal movements. She was born following a normal pregnancy and delivery, with Apgar scores of 6 at 1 minute and 8 at 5 minutes. Her mother, who is 36 years old, has a history of parental consanguinity and is gravida 4, para 4, with three living children and one deceased child.
A female baby born by elective cesarean section at 36 weeks of gestation began to show symptoms, including stiffening of the arms and legs and hyperextension of the neck, with a frequency of 12-20 episodes per day.

Analysis of Mapping the Private Sector Involvement in Correctional Institution Development and Operation Based on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Model
Authors: Aisyah Sani Siti , Eliasta Meliala Adrianus , Sulhin Iqrak
Published: October 2024

This study integrates various views on the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model in correctional institution based on the experiences of various countries (United States, United Kingdom, Australia, France, Japan, Canada). Referring to the terminology of PPP in a broad sense, the correctional institution PPP models according to this study are: 1) the “private governance” model; 2) the “hybrid management” model; 3) the “service infrastructure” model; and 4) the “contracting out certain limited functions” model. The characteristics of the four correctional institution PPP models are mapped in the task specifications in correctional institution, both in the development and operation stages of correctional institution. In the correctional institution development stage, there are design, construction and financing. In the correctional institution operation stage, there are accommodation services or building maintenance; management and administration; and correction services. Only the “private governance” model regulates the involvement of the private sector in all stages of correctional institution development and operation. Through an analysis of the terminology of “correctional institution” and correction function, this study elaborates on the characteristics of the four correctional institution PPP models by mapping private sector involvement in correctional services (order, amenity and service) which show the specific functional characteristics of correctional institution. The “private governance” model allows private sector involvement in all three aspects of correctional services, while the “service infrastructure” model does not allow the private sector to be involved in all aspects of the correctional services in question. The “hybrid management” model and the “contracting out certain limited functions” model allow private sector involvement in the amenity and service aspects, but not in the order or custody aspects.

Evaluating the New Impetus for Entrenching Entrepreneurship Culture in Nigeria (2010 and Beyond): Lessons and Future Public Policy Directions
Authors: R. K. Moruku, , T. O. Court,
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the impact of Nigeria’s entrepreneurship development policies on the emergence and performance of entrepreneurship in recent decades from 2010 to date. Methodology/Approach: The study adopted the periodisation paradigm to examine entrepreneurship development efforts at crucial turning points in Nigeria's development. Findings: The business environment has been hostile to entrepreneurship. However, the ICT and the creative industries sub-sectors recorded some successes. Nevertheless, the power, security, agriculture, and education sub-sectors performed unsatisfactorily. The government’s inability to overrun terrorist groups thwarted peace and security upon which development depended. High-level official corruption has been hobbling the implementation of entrepreneurship development policies in Nigeria. Implications: The study pointed at general and specific lessons derived from the hostile global and local/national environments for improving on entrepreneurship development policies. Originality value: Using a conceptual framework we developed, the study showed that security is an overriding factor in achieving success in entrepreneurship development. Contrary to the claims of some strategy scholars, strategic management is not a panacea for attaining successful entrepreneurship; what is crucially important for success are dynamic capabilities, context-driven public policies, and their competent implementation.

The main objectives of the present investigation are the formation analysis of metal-ligand complexes of L-Leucine with divalent calcium, magnesium, and zinc metal ions in various concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulphate (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 percent w/v). To also look into the impact of the concentration of negatively charged micelles, the parameters that were changed, and the possible chemical species of L-Leucine that interact with the metal ions that were being studied. The experiment was performed using pH meter at 303 K using NaCl to keep your ionic strength stable of 0.16mol dm-3 in the presence of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The determination of the correction factor was conducted via the computer program SCPHD. The computational software MINIQUAD75 is utilized to determine the stability constants of ligand-metal complexes through the analysis of titration data. Based on statistical features such as skewness, 2, kurtosis, and crystallographic R-factor, the best fit to the complicated speciation was selected. The metal ions Ca (II), Mg (II), and Zn (II) formed complexes ML, ML2, and ML2H2 for Ca (II), and ML, ML2, and ML2H for Mg (II) and Zn (II) through the complexation of L-Leucine. In order to validate the accuracy of the final established model, deliberate defects were introduced into the relevant components.

The most common protein lost in urine (proteinuria) is albumin, which is a symptom of the kidney illness focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). It causes damage to podocyte foot processes, resulting in effacement of foot processes, and injury to foot processes leads to the leaking of plasma proteins into the urine, resulting in nephrotic syndrome. Alpha actinin (ACTN4) is extensively produced in glomerular podocytes, has a function in non-muscle cytoskeletal activity, and is enhanced early in the course of nephrotic illness in various types. Mutations in ACTN4 induce autosomal and sporadic steroid-resistance nephritic syndrome, which causes disturbance in podocyte foot process and function. All of the FSGS-causing mutations are situated on actin actin-binding domain of the ACTN4 protein. FSGS is typically treated by decreasing dietary salt and using immune-suppressing medications such as glucocorticoids. There is a risk associated with these drugs for cancer patients. Several studies have found that up to 80% of individuals with primary FSGS are resistant to steroid therapy, even though all other therapeutic options have been exhausted. Patients with steroid-resistant FSGS have a higher incidence of end-stage renal failure. Therefore, several new treatment strategies were put forward to cure the disease form of which use of phytochemicals is one such sustainable modality. In addition to this, our study intended to predict the stability of mutant protein’s structure as compared to wild type structure through molecular dynamic simulation analysis. With this, we extend our study to predict the potency of phytochemicals of Boerhaviadiffusa against FSGS by using molecular docking analysis. From our study, we conclude that the actin-binding domain of ACTN4 protein becomes more unstable or loses its stability after the mutation at position W59R among all the studied mutation positions. The boeravinone F phytochemical of the Boerhaviadiffusa plant shows the best inhibitory effect on the mutant actin-binding domain of ACTN4 protein and it confirms a stable binding confirmation at minimum energy of -7.5 kcal/mol. Hence it may be taken into consideration for future research work.

Tropical diseases are prevalent ailments that manifest in tropical and subtropical regions in 149 countries. Various microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and worms, are responsible for the onset of tropical diseases. This infectious disease is frequently observed in nations with lower economic resources. The tubers of Dioscorea hispida possess the capacity to demonstrate anthelmintic and antifungal characteristics as a result of the existence of secondary metabolites. The tuber of Dioscorea hispida will undergo extraction followed by liquid-liquid fractionation using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol-water solvents. The antifungal activity of the extracts and fractions was evaluated in vitro against Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes for antifungal activity, and the anthelmintic activity was evaluated in vitro against Pheretima posthuma during paralysis and death for anthelmintic activity The extract Dioscorea hispida (Dennst) tuber showed good anthelmintic and antifungal efficacy; The phytochemical component in the ethyl acetate fraction had the highest performance at a concentration of 30 g/L with paralysis time of 23.90±2.94 and death time of 34.20±2.31 for anthelmintic, in line with that the ethyl acetate fraction also has antifungal activity which is strong at a minimum inhibitory concentration of 5 g/L with an inhibition zone diameter of 11.00 ± 0.40. The ethyl acetate fraction contains several metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, and tannins, which exhibit notable effectiveness as anthelmintics and antifungals.
Fecal microbiome predicts treatment response after the initiation of semaglutide or empagliflozin uptake
Authors: Klemets Annabel
Published: October 2024

The gut microbiome has been shown to be affected by the use of many human-targeted medications, and the interaction can be bidirectional. This has been clearly demonstrated for type 2 diabetes medications that have been in clinical use for several decades. However, the bidirectional effects of novel type 2 diabetes drugs semaglutide, empagliflozin, and the gut microbiome have yet to be clearly described. Considering this, we investigate the effect of semaglutide and empagliflozin initiation on the gut microbiome of type 2 diabetes patients. In addition, we analyze whether the pre-treatment gut microbiome can predict the treatment efficacy.
In the study, patients with type 2 diabetes donated gut microbiome fecal samples at four timepoints (Baseline, Month 1, Month 3; Month 12) that were studied using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing and analysis. Subjects additionally donated plasma and urine samples for quantitative measurement of clinical markers before treatment initiation and at Months 3 and 12. Repeated measures ANOVA paired with paired t-tests were used to analyze the effects of drug initiation on the gut microbiome. Pearson correlation was used to identify microbial features associated with the change in clinical parameters.
First, semaglutide and empagliflozin use is associated with changes in the gut microbiome after treatment initiation, but changes in microbial diversity were not detected. Moreover, the baseline gut microbiome predicted changes in glycohemoglobin for semaglutide and empagliflozin users.
Based on the results, our findings suggest that semaglutide and empagliflozin impact the gut microbial community during treatment. In addition, the baseline gut microbiome can predict semaglutide treatment effects.
Longitudinal analysis of the gut microbiome in adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa: microbiome-related factors associated with clinical outcome
Authors: Andreani Nadia Andrea
Published: October 2024

There is mounting evidence regarding the role of gut microbiota in anorexia nervosa (AN). Previous studies have reported that patients with AN show dysbiosis compared to healthy controls (HCs), however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear, and data on influencing factors and longitudinal course of microbiome changes are scarce. Here, we present longitudinal data of 57 adolescent inpatients diagnosed with AN at up to nine time points (including a 1-year follow-up examination) and compare these to up to six time points in 34 HCs. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to investigate the microbiome composition of fecal samples, and data on food intake, weight change, hormonal recovery (leptin levels), and clinical outcomes were recorded. Differences in microbiome composition compared to HCs were greatest during acute starvation and in the low-weight group, while diminishing with weight gain and especially weight recovery at the 1-year follow-up. Illness duration and prior weight loss were strongly associated with microbiome composition at hospital admission, whereas microbial changes during treatment were associated with kilocalories consumed, weight gain, and hormonal recovery. The microbiome at admission was prognostic for hospital readmission, and a higher abundance of Sutterella was associated with a higher body weight at the 1-year follow-up. Identifying these clinically important factors further underlines the potential relevance of gut microbial changes and may help elucidate the underlying pathophysiology of gut-brain interactions in AN. The characterization of prognostically relevant taxa could be useful to stratify patients at admission and to potentially identify candidate taxa for future supplementation studies aimed at improving AN treatment.
