Leadership and City Waste Politics: A Case Study on the Waste Management in Depok City, West Java Province 2014 – 2017
Authors: Azizah Nur , Astrina Azifah Retno , Ulfa Nadlirotul
Published: November 2021

This article aims to ascertain the role of a local leader in the transformation of waste management in Depok City, West Java, between 2014 and 2017. In 2005, Depok was identified as one of the dirtiest cities in Indonesia; by 2017, it had successfully transformed itself and received the Adipura Award for Indonesia's cleanest city. Based on qualitative fieldwork, we argue that Depok's waste management was transformed through a series of policies made by the mayor in conjunction with the Government of Depok City between 2006 and 2016. The example of Depok shows that formal leadership plays an important role in encouraging the emergence of innovative policies to address public problems. In this case, the vision of the leader was translated into policy and implemented by bureaucratic institutions, thereby driving important changes in the region. Further contributing factors included credibility, protection from opposition, and access to resources. We also emphasize the importance of leadership in giving direct examples to local communities on how we understand waste; how we reduce, reuse, recycle, and participate. The leader's ability to consolidate his ideas within the broader community, as well as his commitment to sustainable change, become the main driver of his policy performance.
Monetary Policy Convergence within the EAC: A Focus on Interest Rate and Exchange Rate
Authors: Oloo Michael , Mbithi Mary , Abala Daniel
Published: November 2021

This study was conducted to establish whether the key variables in monetary policy transmission mechanisms are converging within the East African Community. This region is eyeing having an economic union and subsequently a monetary union hence the significance of investing developments in the monetary sector. The analysis used panel data from the year 2005 to 2020 for five EACs. To test for convergence of interest rates and exchange rates, the analysis employed; unit-root test, sigma convergence, co-integration tests, and finally used the panel fixed effect model to establish the impact of the two variables on the GDP. The analysis shows that in the short run, there is no convergence in interest rates but there is convergence in exchange rates. However, in the long run, the two monetary policy variables are co-integrated indicating that the region is doing well in terms of integration in the financial sector in their preparation to form a common trade area and monetary union. The analysis of the impact of the two variables on economic growth shows that only the exchange rate is significant, therefore, the region should strive to foster a stable exchange rate regime to realize increased economic growth.

Authors: ARIANIE LUCY , WIDODO  , IFTITAH ELVINA DHIAUL , WARSITO
Published: November 2021

Objective: This study aims to evaluate novel compounds of isothiocyanate (ITC) based on eugenol and cinnamaldehyde derivatives as the drug candidate of Plasmodium falciparum anti-malaria using in silico method, physicochemical, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and synthetic accessibility prediction. This present study also describes molecular docking and pharmacoinformatics of natural ITC in Moringa oleifera leaves.
Methods: A series of novel ITC compounds (3, 5, and 6) were designed and analyzed with a series of natural ITC compounds (7, 8, 9, 10) for P. falciparum anti-malaria. This research is descriptive qualitative and uses the reverse molecular docking method, proving the biological activity of compounds theoretically using software and database information.
Results: Molecular docking study showed that compound 6 exhibits binding affinity (-5.3 Kcal/mol) on Van der Waals interaction with the residual active site (His159, Cys25) of cysteine protease. All designed ITC compounds are obeyed the Lipinski and Veber Rule, have a well-brain penetrant character and have a medium risk for mutagenic, tumorigenic, and reproductive prediction. They are also in the simple rate of synthetic accessibility (SA) estimation. In regards to natural ITCs, they all have better assay characteristics except the SA.
Conclusion: Molecular docking, physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicity studies show that methyl eugenol isothiocyanate and cinnamaldehyde isothiocyanate are promising anti-malaria compounds. Substituents of hydroxy, acetate and tetrahydropyran groups in the building block ring are suggested for better in silico profiles enhancement.

Objective: This research was conducted to examine the characteristics of the eugenol gel preparation in the Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) gel base and to determine the profile of the release of eugenol from the HPMC gel base.
Methods: Eugenol was made into gel preparations using HPMC base with concentrations of 3%, 5% and 7%. The evaluation included the tests of product characteristic and eugenol release. The product characteristic test included organoleptic examination (texture, color, and odor) and tests of spreadability, adhesion, and pH. The release test was carried out using cell diffusion and cellophane membranes.
Results: All formulas met the pH requirements of topical products that were safe to use. The spreadability test is between 2.97-6.27 cm, adhesion test of products>4 s. The percentage of determination of eugenol content in the gel formula (F1 105.81%), (F2 93.28%) and (F3 98.87%). The cumulative amount of eugenol was F1 (2.563 mg/cm2), F2 (2.224 mg/cm2), and F3 (1.895 mg/cm2).
Conclusion: The variation of HPMC as a gel base has effects on the adhesion, spreadability, and the eugenol gel release profile, where the greater the HPMC concentration, the smaller the spreadability, the greater the adhesion, and the lower the eugenol release profile. Based on the data obtained, the Formula 1 had a better release rate.

Published: November 2021

Objective: This study aimed to prepare fluconazole (FZ)-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) using a simplex centroid design and fatty acids to optimize the SLNs to get small-sized nanoparticles with a narrow distribution.
Methods: Hot emulsification was used to prepare the FZ-loaded SLNs. Stearic acid (Sa) (X1), palmitic acid (Pa) (X2), and myristic acid (Ma) (X3) were the solid lipids. The effect of various types and amounts of fatty acids on the particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and pH of the SLNs was studied using the simplex centroid design.
Results: The particle size of all formulations ranged between 16.49 nm and 56.65 nm, and the polydispersity index (PDI) ranged between 0.258 and 0.676, indicating a relatively narrow size distribution. The zeta potential ranged from–7.47 to–12.2 mV. The pH was around 4.63–4.77, indicating that the SLN system was a weak acid. Design-Expert® software was used to design the responses of all model formulations and to select the optimized formulation. The optimal formulation comprised 0.190 g Sa, 0.048 g Pa, and 0.002 g Ma. The experimental values of the particle size and PDI of the optimal formulation did not differ significantly from the predicted values and lay within a 95% confidence interval (CI).
Conclusion: Therefore, the simplex centroid design using fatty acids could efficiently formulate and optimize FZ-loaded SLNs.

Authors: ALIAKBARI MOHAMMAD , GHASEMI FIAN
Published: November 2021

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship among EFL teacher’s identity style, religious identity, and identity commitment. The data was collected from 88 EFL teachers teaching at different English language learning institutes in Ilam province- Iran. Two questionnaires were used, including Dollinger’s (2001) Brief Religiosity Scale (BRS-6) and Berzonsky’s (1992) Identity Style Inventory, the revised version (ISI3). Results suggested that EFL teacher’s identity style and their commitment were positively correlated (r = 0.350). There was also a significant positive correlation between EFL teacher’s religious identity and their commitment (r = 0.312). A significant positive correlation was also found between EFL teacher’s identity style and religious identity (r = 0.367).  The results of one-way ANOVA indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in identity style scores, identity commitment scores, and religiosity scores for four groups. The results of independent t-test analysis indicated that there was no significant difference in identity style, identity commitment, and the religiosity scores of the two groups of participants. Finally, the implications and limitations of the study were also discussed.

TOXIC AND IMMUNE ALLERGIC RESPONSES OF ANT VENOM TOXINS: A REVIEW
Authors: SHARMA SIMRAN , UPADHYAY! RAVI KANT
Published: November 2021

Present review article explains ant venom components and its allergic and biological effects in man and animals. Red ants or small fire ants secrete and inject venom very swiftly to defend their nest against predators, microbial pathogens, and competitors and to hunt the prey. Ant venom is a mixture of various organic compounds, including peptides, enzymes, and polypeptide toxins. It is highly toxic, allergic, invasive and venomous. It imposes sever paralytic, cytolytic, haemolytic, allergenic, pro-inflammatory, insecticidal, antimicrobial, and pain-producing pharmacologic activities after infliction. Victims show red ring-shaped allergic sign with regional swelling marked with intense pain. Ant venom also contains several hydrolases, oxidoreductases, proteases, Kunitz-like polypeptides, and inhibitor cysteine knot (ICK)-like (knottin) neurotoxins and insect defensins. Ant venom toxins/proteins generate allergic immune responses and employ eosinophils and produce Th2 cytokines, response. These compounds from ant venom could be used as a potential source of new anticonvulsants molecules. Ant venoms contain many small, linear peptides, an untapped source of bioactive peptide toxins. The remarkable insecticidal activity of ant venom could be used as a promising source of additional bio-insecticides and therapeutic agents.
MOGUĆNOST PRIZNANJA NOVE MIKRODRŽAVE U SVETLU STAROG PRAVA (SLUČAJ LIBERLAND)
Authors: Petrovic Milos
Published: November 2021

Dana 13. aprila 2015. godine, na 1416. kilometru toka reke Dunav, na njegovoj desnoj obali, na lokalitetu Gornja Siga, koji u stvarnosti predstavlja poluostrvo koje se naslanja na desnu obalu reke, od strane troje čeških državljana proglašena je Slobodna republika Liberland. U domaćoj naučnoj i stručnoj javnosti ovaj događaj je protekao bez reakcija (osim jedne izjave Ministarstva spoljnih poslova kojom isto obznanjuje da formiranje Liberlanda na pomenutom prostoru nema uticaja na teritorijalni integritet Republike Srbije, te da je isto neozbiljan postupak koji ne zaslužuje komentar), a i u hrvatskoj stručnoj javnosti preovlađujuća reakcija je da se radi o slučaju koji ne zaslužuje ozbiljnije komentare. Sa druge strane, u američkoj naučnoj javnosti ovaj događaj nije prošao bez odjeka, i na svetlost dana polako izlaze tekstovi koji se bave ovim pitanjem. U ovom radu autor je pokušao da sagleda domete proglašenja Liberlanda kao države u odnosu na neka prethodno postavljena pravna pravila i rešenja pitanja granice na Dunavu između danas suverenih država Srbije i Hrvatske, kao i u odnosu na Konvenciju o pravima i obavezama država iz Montevidea (1933), kojom se načelno utvrđuju kriterijumi za postojanje države, a čije odredbe su vremenom dobile snagu međunarodnog običajnog prava. U zaključnim razmatranjima sintetizovane su činjenice prikupljene tokom istraživanja i dato je mišljenje o trenutnom pravnom subjektivitetu Liberlanda.

Authors: Krsic Dario
Published: November 2021

Ulozi i značaju krajiških jedinica i visokih vojnih zapovednika srpskoga porekla u Napoleonskim ratovima, domaća i strana istoriografija ne posvećuje dovoljnu pažnju. Politizacijom i ideologizacijom prošlosti, ali i nesistematičnošću naučnika, posebno vojnih istoričara, skrajnuto je njihovo angažovanje u oslobađanju Ilirskih provincija. Stoga, cilj ovog rada je da se analizom sadržaja odgovarajuće literature, ukaže na iznimno ratovodstveno umeće Teodora pl. Milutinovića Višnjegorskog u borbama protiv Velike armije, s posebnim osvrtom na bitke koje je vodio u Ratu šeste koalicije, do kraja 1813. godine. Skreće se pažnja da su krajiški Srbi, kao borci i oficiri Carsko-kraljevske vojske, pokazali izuzetne vojničke vrline i veštinu ratovanja u bitkama na prostoru savremene Slovenije i Hrvatske, stekavši vanredne zasluge za njihovo oslobođenje od francuske okupacije. U sledećem broju „Političke revije“ razmatraće se presudan doprinos Teodora pl. Milutinovića Višnjegorskog, kao i krajiških trupa kojima je komandovao, u oslobađanju Dubrovnika 1814. godine.
Study and analysis on some design aspects in single and multi-axis active magnetic bearing (AMB)
Authors: DEBNATH SUKANTA
Published: November 2021

Active magnetic bearing (AMB) is a substitute of conventional bearing, which provides electromagnetic force to support the rotating part respecting the stator. The utilization of electromagnetic force makes this bearing “active”. The attraction force of an AMB system can be control by manipulating the input so that the rotor can be levitate at required position. As lot of limitation exist in passive magnetic bearing, the AMB is very useful in modern applications. Due to frictionless nature of magnetic bearing and non-necessity of lubricants, now-a-days AMB is taking place as the alternate of any other bearing in multiple applications of growing industry. Adequate knowledge of essential components is necessary for successful implementation of any active magnetic bearing design. So, In this paper, the magnetic analysis has been analyzed for the different types of single and multi-axis AMB using ANSYS Maxwell with extensively reviewed components.
Mechanical characterization of jute fiber based biocomposite to manufacture automotive components
Authors: Velasco Parra Jorge Antonio , Ramón Valencia Bladimir A , Mora Espinosa William Javier
Published: November 2021

In this research work, samples of the biocomposite were manufactured using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) technique, whose matrix is a polyester resin and the reinforcement is a biaxial fabric (90°) made with jute fiber. Then, tensile and flexural tests were carried out on standardized specimens under ASTM standards, in order to mechanically characterize the jute-polyester biocomposite. In both destructive tests, the results showed a linear-elastic behavior with brittle fracture and greater strength of the jute-polyester biocomposite, with respect to the thermosetting matrix’s properties. Subsequently, a finite element based static analysis was performed, with the help of the ANSYS software, to determine the mechanical behavior of interior opening handle for a car door. In it, a model sensitivity study was run to determine the influence of the mesh type and identify the convergence of mesh. Later, the static analysis results were obtained: critical zone, maximum operating stress and safety factors. The results obtained computationally validate the use of jute-polyester biocomposite, as a substitute for the manufacture of an interior opening handle for a car door. Finally, a scale model of the piece made with jute-polyester biocomposite was manufactured.
Constructal design of top metallic contacts on a disc-shaped solar cell
Authors: Ojeda Jorge Armando , Messina Sarah Ruth , Vázquez Erick Eduardo , Méndez Federico
Published: November 2021

Trends in crystalline silicon photovoltaic improvements demonstrate that some of the key factors that have contributed to reaching efficiency values up to 23 % are the introduction of the passivated emitter and rear cell structure with local rear contacts in low-cost large-volume fabrication; the reduction of the width of the front metallization fingers, from about 100 microm to less than 30 micro m in large volume production, and the re-emergence of mono-crystalline silicon wafers as a consequence of cost reduction in the Czochralski silicon ingot fabrication process. In the present work, we have developed a theoretical model that defines the geometric arrangement of a branched top metallic contacts network over a solar cell with a disc-shaped body. The solar cell considers two main regions: the solar cell material and an insert of metallic material for the collection of the photogenerated electrical current. The geometric characteristics of the network are defined from the minimization of the resistive power losses applying the constructal design method. As a fundamental result, the optimal lengths, branching angles, and geometrical relationships of the n-branched network are determined. The numerical results show that the dimensionless power losses of the branched arrangement of contacts present minimum values for the allocation of the metallic material and the disc size of the solar cell.
Evaluation and Optimisation of Processes Time for the Hot Air Oven Containing Sleeves
Authors: Varma Bandaru Nithin Kumar
Published: November 2021

Abstract: The Hot air producing Oven is used to heat the sleeves which are used as raiser in casting purpose. The sleeves that are being manufactured are made of epoxy resin which consists of approximately 75% water and 25% mineral mix before heating and once the processes are complete i.e. the sleeves getting heated in the oven the product would turn into 35% water + 65% mix. The whole process would estimate the time around 4.5 hours. The first 2.5 hours the water is being removed from the sleeves in form of latent heat vaporization. The next 2 hours is use as the time for curing the them because of the flow of hot air through the sleeves. The processes time is evaluated keeping in mind that the heat transfer is happening in mixed convection. As they are placed vertically to the direction of air flow. The amount of heat transfer in terms of energy is evaluated for 4.5 hours in actual practise. The energy which is utilised in 4.5 hours is found and the same amount is consumed in 2.5 hours which is a solution solved theoretically by considering datum values. Keywords: epoxy resin, sleeves, latent heat, heat transfer, mixed convection.

Published: November 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es describir las (re)configuraciones de las desigualdades socioeducativas en el Partido de San Martín (Buenos Aires) en las décadas de 1990 y 2000. Para ello, se georreferencian en el espacio urbano datos sociodemográficos de los censos de 1991, 2001 y 2010, con especial atención en la relación entre la población que ha completado los niveles de escolaridad primario y secundario con los indicadores de necesidades básicas insatisfechas (NBI), hacinamiento y desocupación laboral. Los resultados dan cuenta del incremento de la escolaridad primaria y secundaria en todos los radios censales del municipio a lo largo de las décadas, aunque con varianzas significativas entre los lugares con bajas condiciones de pobreza y las áreas con altos niveles de NBI, hacinamiento y desocupación laboral. Por tanto, la relación entre desigualdades sociales y educativas se profundiza de forma variada en función de los distintos indicadores con el transcurso del tiempo y se dispersan por la totalidad del territorio, impidiendo el análisis en términos de segmentación y fragmentación.

Authors: Souza João Victor Amaro de , Andrade Guilherme Cabral de , Lescszysnki Alexandre , Alves Helvercio F P
Published: November 2021

Background: Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (SVAD) is rare and occurs in young patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (HSA) or stroke (3 to 5%). Only 11% occur in the V4 segment of VA. Its treatment changed in parallel with the progress of endovascular technology. Material and Methods: Six consecutive cases of dissecting vertebral artery aneurysms V4 are reported. All males with mean age 35 years. Clinical presentation with headache and neckache in all cases, ischemic stroke and SAH one case each. All patients underwent reconstructive endovascular treatment with FD stent, with or without microcoils. Results: All patients were under dual antiplatelet therapy before EVT (Aspirin 200mg and clopidogrel 75mg or ticagrelor 180mg/day). Reconstructive technique was performed with FD stent in two cases, associated of microcoils and “jailing technique” in two cases or multiple telescoping stents in three cases. Occlusion of the aneurysm and arterial permeability were found in long term follow up in 5 cases. In a case of fusiform aneurysm, there was late thrombosis of the telescoped stents and arterial occlusion without clinical repercussion. Conclusion: Due to the high rate of surgical morbidity, endovascular treatment became the first line for this kind of aneurysm. The reconstruction using a flow bypass and device reconstructive technique is an attractive alternative, showing long-term favorable clinical and angiographic outcomes with the ability to maintain patency of the parental and lateral branch arteries.

El negocio simulado: compraventa bajo la apariencia de donación
Authors: Galiano Maritan Grisel
Published: November 2021

El artículo aborda un tema que ha adquirido gran relevancia en la práctica jurídica en Cuba por el creciente desarrollo de las relaciones contractuales y las modificaciones existentes a partir de la promulgación del Decreto-Ley 288 de 28 de octubre de 2011−modificativo de la Ley General de la Vivienda− y el Decreto 320 de 31 de diciembre de 2013. Se trata de la simulación de los negocios jurídicos, especialmente de la compraventa bajo la apariencia de un contrato de donación que, anteriormente, por razones prohibitivas, pretendían lograrse a través de otros negocios jurídicos. El objetivo de la presente investigación es fundamentar la posible validez del contrato de compraventa simulado a partir de los supuestos doctrinales y legales existentes. El trabajo seguirá una metodología cualitativa, mediante el uso de métodos y técnicas propios de una investigación social de corte jurídico, como lo son el método histórico-lógico, el exegético-analítico y el de comparación jurídica. El principal resultado consiste en la propuesta de los presupuestos dogmáticos que establezcan la posible validez de la compraventa simulada, una vez declarado nulo el negocio de donación simulado que le sirvió de máscara.

La responsabilidad en los contratos del estado: un análisis desde la ética pública
Authors: Güechá Torres Jessica Tatiana , Güechá Medina Ciro Nolberto
Published: November 2021

La responsabilidad del Estado se ha enmarcado a través de títulos de imputación que van desde la responsabilidad subjetiva por la falla del servicio, pasando por la falla presunta y culminando en la responsabilidad objetiva. En esta circunstancia se determina que, en la obligación de indemnizar perjuicios como consecuencia de una falla en el servicio, existe una actuación irregular. Por otro lado, en la responsabilidad objetiva solamente es necesaria una actuación de una entidad pública y que quien sufre el daño no esté obligado a soportarlo. En cualquier caso, la responsabilidad del Estado se ha analizado desde esas dos grandes clases de atribución. Por tal razón, el presente artículo, con elfin de buscar una perspectiva distinta, tiene como objetivo estudiar la responsabilidad del Estado desde la violación de la ética pública. De esta manera, se busca determinar el fundamento de imputación de responsabilidad y la obligación de reparación de daños como consecuencia de la actividad de contratación de la Administración. Este estudio ha permitido obtener como resultados que la responsabilidad contractual del Estado se deriva, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, de la violación de postulados éticos, lo que permite concluir que la ética pública se constituye en un título de imputación de responsabilidad del Estado. En el presente artículo se ha utilizado una metodología analítico-propositiva y el método inductivo.

El abordaje planteado se sustenta a partir de una metodología dogmática del tipo básico-jurídica, pues el objeto de estudio está constituido por la normatividad colombiana en materia de discapacidad que surge a partir de la declaratoria de emergencia en territorio nacional. Además, se utilizan fuentes secundarias de investigación y se analizan la ley y la doctrina aplicable al objeto de estudio. Con lo anterior se mostrará que, en época de pandemia, el Estado colombiano ha intentado ajustarse a los lineamientos de la ONU para propender por mantener la garantía de los derechos de manera equitativa y justa. No obstante, surgen algunas recomendaciones precisas y ajustadas que sugerimos para alcanzar dichos fines y porque resultan pertinentes al discurso garantista hoy existente.

Unusual Lysozyme-induced anaphylaxis in an egg-allergic child
Authors: Elbany Charles , Boissieu Delphine De , KARILA CHANTAL , Alyanakian Marie-Alexandra , PONVERT Claude , Lageix Florence , LEZMI Guillaume
Published: November 2021

A nine-year-old egg allergic child developed anaphylaxis after ingesting
the lysozyme-containing over-the-counter-drug Lysopaine®. He complained
of a sore throat without fever or cough. His mother administered him one
sublingual tablet of the over-the-counter drug Lysopaine®, containing 20
mg lysozyme hydrochloride. A few minutes after intake of the drug, he
developed anaphylaxis and received 300 mg intramuscular epinephrine. HE
was not exposed to other allergens. The responsibility of lysozyme was
confirmed by positive skin prick tests for Lysopaïne® and the presence
of specific IgE against lysozyme. When giving this treatment to her son,
his mother had no idea that it could contain egg protein and she did not
perceive lysozyme as an allergenic protein. However, the box mentioned
the presence of lysozyme and also specified “contains lysozyme
extracted from egg”. Lysozyme, a minor egg allergen, may induce
anaphylaxis in egg-allergic patients. Lysozyme can be found in many
commonly consumed industrial food and drug products and its labelling
may be misleading. Our observation highlights the importance of properly
educating allergic patients to recognize allergens, even minor ones.

As regional heterogeneity on the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau (QTP), the
“greening rate” between alpine steppe in the west and alpine meadow
ecosystems in the east is difference during the past several decades. To
investigate the difference, the net photosynthetic rate (An) and the
supply (mesophyll conductance ( g), stomatal
conductance ( g)) and demand (the maximum rates
of Rubisco carboxylase activity ( V) and
photosynthetic electron transport ( J)) for
CO of three plants functional types (PFTs) were
measured. Other functional traits and influencing factors were compared
among ecosystems along the altitudinal gradients of QTP. The An of the
PFTs was simulated under potential future conditions. At high altitudes,
grass was found to maintain a relatively stable An by decreasing
V, J, and
g, while slightly increasing g, compared with that at a low altitude. The An of sedge
and shrubs increased with rising V, J and g and g values, resulting in a large increment in the An at
low altitudes. Grass seemed to be less sensitive to the environment by
reducing the supply of and holding onto CO , while
sedge and shrub increased both. Grass and sedge should be divided into
two PFTs rather than remaining as one based on their opposite
physiological and morphological functions in response to climate change.
The ecosystem at 3600 m was transitional. C was
likely to be a more dominant factor than T in
affecting the An of grass. The order of rising An in PFTs was shrub
> sedge > grass and the An of alpine meadow
was found to increase more under the two future climate scenarios.

Objective: To investigate whether it is better to have surgery
before pregnancy for pregnant women with congenital heart disease (CHD).
Methods: Patients with CHD in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from 2010
to 2019 were collected and divided into surgical and non-surgical group,
and the differences of events between the two groups were compared.
Results: A total of 999 patients with CHD (mean age,
28.7±4.3years) were collected, including 403 cases (40.0%) in the
surgical group and 596 cases (60.0%) in the non-surgical group. The
most common CHD was atrial septal defect(33.1%), followed by
ventricular septal defect (26.9 %), patent ductus arteriosus (9.9 %),
and Tetralogy of Fallot (6.9 %). There were significant statistical
differences in region, education degree and gravidity (P＜0.05), and the
percentage of almost all events in the surgical group was higher.
Pre-term delivery (17.1 vs. 9.9), low birth weight (11.6 vs. 6.5), heart
failure (6.7 vs. 2.7), cesarean section (85.9 vs. 75.7), pulmonary
arterial hypertension (36.2 vs. 13.6), Eisenmenger syndrome (9.7 vs.
0.2), and death (2.3 vs. 0.5) had statistically significant (P＜0.05). A
total of 16 (1.6%) patients died, 14 (87.5%) in the surgical group,
more than 2 (12.5%) in the non-surgical group. Conclusions:
The outcome of surgical group was better than that of non-surgical
group, surgery before pregnancy can reduce maternal and infant risk.

Published: November 2021

This study aims to see a picture of empathy by integrating biological, sociological and psychological by using a delayed broadcast application which is intended to help Guidance and Counseling students to increase empathy and communication skills through a biopsychosocial approach to identify counselee problems. The implementation study uses a formative evaluation framework to see the counselor's communication with the counselee through three stages; 1) evaluation, consisting of a conceptual review; 2) technical, both formal and informal by the lecturer; 3) evaluation of Guidance and Counseling students who are involved in surveys and observations. The findings of this study indicate that bio-psycho-social video delays can improve counseling communication techniques (empathy) for prospective counselors. The results of this study can be used as a reference for lecturers and prospective counselors in providing learning about the counseling process so as to improve the quality of prospective counselors, especially in increasing empathy which is one of the counselor's character competencies.

The research procedure adopted the case study research procedure by Yin which includes (1) design the case study protocol; (2) Conduct the case study; (3) Analyze case study evidence: and (4) Develop conclusions, recommendations, and implications based on the evidence. The subjects of this study were elementary school teachers and students, and school documents were examined related to the maintenance of Balinese culture and language through local content carried out in schools. The data collection technique was carried out by structured interviews using interview guidelines related to maintaining Balinese language culture and Balinese local content. Observations were made with a participatory observation approach, and documentation studies were carried out by collecting documents related to the maintenance of Balinese culture and Balinese language in schools. Qualitative data analysis techniques began with grouping data based on primary data sources and secondary data. The results of this study indicate that the application of local content in elementary schools is one of the contents that can be used in maintaining, preserving and preserving the Balinese language culture in schools. The results of surveys, observations and interviews at SD Buleleng indicate that the maintenance of Balinese culture and language has many weaknesses, seen from the use of local languages that are not used in communication and Balinese culture which is fading due to the influence of other cultures. This can be seen in the language used in schools not using Balinese in daily communication in the sense that many do not understand the meaning of the Balinese language used because SOR is Singgih Bahasa. The results of study have and important implication to the teaching learning contents of Balinese language in elementary school in Bali, Indoensia.
