CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS IN SHAKESPEARE’S TRAGEDIES
OTHELLO, HAMLET, KING LEAR AND MACBETH – LIFE AND DEATH
(KONCEPTUALNA METAFORA U ŠEKSPIROVIM TRAGEDIJAMA OTELO, HAMLET, KRALJ LIR I MAKBET – ŽIVOT I SMRT)
Authors: Ćirović Mirka
Published: January 2020

This work analyzes conceptual metaphors in metaphorical linguistic expressions
which are extracted from Shakespeare’s four major plays Othello, Hamlet, King
Lear and Macbeth. Metaphorical linguistic expressions selected from the plays
refer to abstract concepts of life and death, which preoccupied Shakespeare in his
tragedies. In order to understand the four plays mentioned and individual lines
in them, it is very importnat to gain insight into how Shakespeare’s characters,
Shakespeare himself and man in general reason about existential questions and
questions of purpose which have always been the subject of our contemplation.
By identifying and analyzing conceptual metaphors in the base of metaphorical
linguistic expressions that talk about life and death, we will be able to illustrate
the process of mapping that goes on between the source and target domains.
The mapping process will clearly indicate how it is that we understand and
reason about abstract concepts of life and death while relying on concrete
and physical concepts from our vicinity. Conceptual metaphors given in small
caps such as life is theatre or death is sleep mean that expressions exactly like
these are not to be found in Shakespeare’s plays. They are a mechanism that
we all have and use to understand thoughts of immense philosophical power
and psychological depth. This same mechanism is also used by the greatest of
writers and poets in the expression of their literary genious.
Key Words: conceptual metaphor, life, death, etaphorical linguistic expression,
mapping, source domain, target domain, Shakespeare, Othello, Hamlet, King

The development of simultaneous therapy
and imaging systems (Theranostics) for micro RNA
(miRNA) is demanded the clinical application of
RNA interference (RNAi) in cancer treatment and
immune therapy. In this paper, we report a pHsensitive, magnetic nanoparticle-based miRNA
delivery system that can enable the safe and effective
delivery, imaging by high-resolution Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) and therapeutic ability
through regulating of tumor metastasis and immune
evasion via miRNA34a. Cationic poly-L-lysine-graft
(PL) with a reactive silane moiety was stably
immobilized onto the surface of the assembled
manganese ferrite nanoparticles (MFs) through an
emulsion process, ensuring high water solubility,
enhanced MR contrast effect, and endosomedisrupting functionality. The MRI based theranostic nanovectors (MNVs)
were then complexed with miRNA34a via
electrostatic interaction to verify the regulation for
cancer metastasis by CD44 and immune avoidance
by regulating PD-L1. These results showed a novel
platform for synergetic cancer therapy based on
miRNA.

In this study, we proposed a method of
learning neural networks by optimizing neural
network input parameters to discern MRI-weighted
images. To this end, we segmented the weighting
domain of MRI. In feature extraction, the original
image and segmented image were extracted by DWT,
respectively. A neural network was trained by inputting extracted
feature values. As a result of the experiment, it was
found that the R-value of the segmented image is
closer to 1 than the original image. The reason is that
the images obtained by segmenting the areas of the
weighted parts already have similarities. Also, it was
found that the similarity between T1 and T2
weighted images is high in the same combination,
and the similarity is relatively low in different
weighted images. The most important issue in
medical imaging is ensuring the confidence of
radiologists using artificial intelligence. To solve this
problem, it is of utmost importance that the algorithm
developer and radiological technologist work
together to provide a solution that is integrated with
the radiologist's workflow.

Abstract. The purpose of the study was to study the effect of various methods of cultivating the variety of common myrtle Yuzhnoberezhny on the change in the content of macro- and microelements in raw materials, to compare the component composition of the essential oil obtained in the long-term and overgrowth form of its cultivation. Myrtus communis L. is a representative of the Mediterranean plant community, which since ancient times has been used for medicinal purposes and as a spicy culture. In the Nikitsky Botanical Garden – the National Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a variety of common myrtle South Coast was created. The variety is recommended for industrial cultivation on the territory of the southern coast of Crimea. Methods. The mineral composition of the raw materials was determined by dry ashing of leaves cut in the phase of technological maturity. The content of seven essential elements was determined on the quantum 2MT atomic absorption spectrophotometer: potassium in the emission mode, calcium, magnesium, ferrum, manganese, cuprum and zinc in the absorption mode. The component composition was studied in samples of essential oil on an Agilent Technology 6890N chromatograph with a 5973N mass spectrograph detector. Results. The maximum yield of medicinal raw materials in these soil and climatic conditions was ensured sprout cultivation, in which the rate of shoot formation increased by 2.6 times, and the yield of leaf, which is the raw material for the essential oil and food industries, increased by 37 %. The method of cultivating myrtle influenced the content of essential elements in the raw materials: the growth of ferrum and zinc was facilitated by the overgrowth form of cultivation, and cuprum and manganese – by many years. The amount of ferrum in the phase of technological maturity of the leaf was 84.37 mg/kg: in leaf-growing leaves 2.67 times more than in raw materials with a long-term form of cultivation. For cuprum, the opposite tendency was obtained – during germination cultivation, its concentration decreased by 2 times. The culture and variety are characterized by a high amount of magnesium and calcium in the leaf mass, regardless of the method of cultivation, up to 3.3 times the daily requirement of a person. Scientific novelty. A distinctive feature of this culture and variety is its high manganese content (20.2 mg/kg) in comparison with other perennial crops growing in this area (Helichrysum, Lavandula, Elsholtzia).

Niepotrzebna formalność czy brak zaangażowania – jak postrzegane są motywy par, które nie decydują się na związek małżeński?
Authors: Mynarska Monika
Published: January 2020

Although cohabitation is increasingly common in Poland, it is usually considered a transitional, testing stage that leads to marriage, which constitutes the preferred form of family life in the country. Does it mean that couples who do not choose to marry are perceived as somewhat “worse” than those tying the knot? Using qualitative data from focus group interviews with 69 men and women aged 25–40, I aimed to answer the following questions: What are social perceptions of couples who have already “tested” their relationship, but still live together and refrain from marriage? In particular, what are the motives attributed to such couples and how – if at all – these motives are linked to the quality of the relationships?

There were four themes related to such motives identified in the analysed material: (1) the perception of marriage as an unnecessary expense that does not change anything in a relationship, or even makes things worse; (2) fear of an ultimate commitment; (3) uncertainty whether this is the right partner and the resulting low level of commitment in the relationship; (4) rejection of traditional gender roles. Commitment appears central in the analysed discussions suggesting that this concept should constitute an important topic in future studies on unions in Poland.

Inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase Btk have been proposed as novel antiplatelet agents. In this study we show that low concentrations of the Btk inhibitor ibrutinib block CLEC-2-mediated activation and tyrosine phosphorylation including Syk and PLCγ2 in human platelets. Activation is also blocked in patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) caused by a deficiency or absence of Btk. In contrast, the response to GPVI is delayed in the presence of low concentrations of ibrutinib or in patients with XLA, and tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk is preserved. A similar set of results is seen with the second-generation inhibitor, acalabrutinib. The differential effect of Btk inhibition in CLEC-2 relative to GPVI signalling is explained by the positive feedback role involving Btk itself, as well as ADP and thromboxane A2 mediated activation of P2Y12 and TP receptors, respectively. This feedback role is not seen in mouse platelets and, consistent with this, CLEC-2-mediated activation is blocked by high but not by low concentrations of ibrutinib. Nevertheless, thrombosis was absent in 8 out of 13 mice treated with ibrutinib. These results show that Btk inhibitors selectively block activation of human platelets by CLEC-2 relative to GPVI suggesting that they can be used at 'low dose' in patients to target CLEC-2 in thrombo-inflammatory disease.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus that attacks the human body. One factor that can be overcome by counseling to the community by health workers and community leaders. In 2018, Medan experienced an increase in DHF cases, that is as many as 1490 cases, and the death rate due to DHF was 13 people, this condition is still a health problem that must be dealt with immediately. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the health workers and community leaders with the occurrence of DHF. This type of research is descriptive, with cross-sectional design. The study population are all families in Medan, the study sample as many as 300 families which taken by using simple random sampling technique. The data collection tool uses a questionnaire. The results showed that the level of health workers in the prevention of DHF was in good criteria only 7.7 percent and the level of support of community leaders in preventing DHF was in good criteria only 9.7 percent. Bivariate analysis shows that there was no significant relationship between the health workers and community leaders with the occurrence of DHF in Medan. The role of health workers and community leaders was still lacking in efforts to prevent DHF. It is recommended that health workers and community leaders play an active role in providing counseling to the public about DHF.

La financiación de la cultura está viviendo un cambio de paradigma derivado de la reducción de recursos públicos para su sostén. De una concepción en la que el estado era responsable y casi agente único financiador de los bienes culturales tendemos a una concepción en la parece potenciarse la financiación privada. Este cambio de paradigma, diferenciando además mecenazgo de grandes empresas y mecenazgo ciudadano, tiene implicaciones éticas, que no podemos obviar y van más allá de lo puramente cuantitativo y relativo a la financiación.

Published: January 2020

Objective: to assess clinical and morphological characteristics and occurrence of micronuclei of mucocytes of the integumentary and epithelium of the gastric mucosa in residents of areas affected by Chernobyl nuclear accident taking into account Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and nutritional factors. Methods: a retrospective study was conducted using a micronuclear test in integumentary-pit epithelium to study cytogenetic effects of small doses of ionizing radiation. Results. Mucocytes with micronuclei were predominantly observed in persons permanently residing in radiation contaminated areas since 1986. The occurrence of micronucleation was not statistically associated with Hp infection. No associations were found for the total alpha and beta activity of biopsy specimens of the gastric mucosa and the density of contamination of the territory at 90Sr and 137Cs. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that gastrointestinal pathology in residents of the territories affected by Chernobyl accident seems to have multifactorial origin related not only to the nuclear accident in Chernobyl.

Purpose: to study gender-related peculiarities of psychological mechanisms of behavioral risk of HIV infection. Methods. The psychotype of the test subjects from the experimental group (17 men and 17 women-HIV-infected patients of the Volgograd AIDS Center), and the comparison groups (38 men and 22 women, graduate students and University professors of Volgograd, characterized by the lack of behavioral risk of HIV infection) was evaluated by a set of indicators of social activity and social destructiveness, adventurism, risk appetite, extroversion and neuroticism, accentuation of temperament and character. 112 men and 112 women, part-time students of Volgograd universities, selected by a simple random sample, who studied the relationship of the identified psychological indicators of the risk of HIV infection and personal characteristics of a person, taking into account gender, were involved as a control group of observation. Results. HIV-infected subjects, relative to persons with no behavioral risk of HIV infection, are characterized by the predominance of social destructiveness, reaching statistically significant differences for women (p = 0.014) and having a tendency to the significance of differences (p = 0.053) in men, as well as the prevalence of adventurism, reaching statistically significant differences for both men (p = 0.022) and women (p = 0.003). In the control group of observation, in men with respect to social destructiveness, a direct relationship with extroversion (p = 0,002), neuroticism (p = 0,049), pedantry (p = 0,008), excitability (p = 0,024) and emotivity (p = 0,047) was revealed. In the group of women presented indicators are characterized by negative relationship with social destructiveness by extroversion (p = 0,037), neuroticism (p = 0,049), excitability (p = 0,043) and emotivity (p = 0,031). Conclusions. The role of the inversion of gender psychotype on extroversion, neuroticism, accentuation of temperament and character in shaping the propensity of men and women to risky behavior is grounded.

Authors: Cho Sung-Dong , Kang Seung Heon , Seo Yuju , Kim Hyun Jik
Published: January 2020

Sphenoethmoidal (Onodi) cells originate from the ethmoid sinus and are located at the posterior and lateral direction. The obstruction of the sinus ostium leads to the accumulation of mucous fluid and eventually leads to the formation of a mucocele. Onodi cell mucoceles can cause visual loss or disturbance due to the adjacency to the orbital apex. Here we report a case of Onodi cell mucocele with a visual field disturbance, where the patient underwent an endoscopic sinus surgery 12 days after the initial symptom. After 21 days of onset, the subjective symptom started to subside. For Onodi cell mucocele patients with visual disturbance, we recommend rapid diagnosis with computed tomography and early marsupialization of the mucocele.

Published: January 2020

The article presents an assessment of the methodological state of introduction of psychotechnology of formation of moral stability of schoolchildren in conditions of a fragile society.  The author confirms the lack of a coherent theoretically validated and empirically proven concept in the psychological science of purposeful development of the moral and psychological stability of modern youth, considering the genetically modeling approach.  Insufficiency of thorough psychological researches of the problem of moral and psychological stability of youth in conditions of a fragile society hinders the development and introduction into the educational process of productive socio-cultural and psychological and pedagogical technologies.

 It is noted that it is necessary to take into account that purposeful military-patriotic activity promotes moral development of the personality of schoolchildren and cadets, influences in a certain way the formation of their individual qualities, patriotic feelings and beliefs, which awakens active actions and actions.  In view of this, in the process of military-patriotic education in pre-conscript youth it is necessary to form a high patriotic consciousness, to train skillfully to act under different emotional states, to develop practical skills, habits and habits to prepare oneself for activity in adverse and even extreme conditions.
Prompt Rise in Urinary Ammonium Excretion Suffices To Mitigate Metabolic Acidosis in an Experimental Animal Model of Severe Normovolemic Hemodilution
Authors: TELOH J. K. , WAACK I. N. , DE GROOT H.
Published: January 2020

Recently, we have established a model of severe stepwise normovolemic hemodilution to a hematocrit of 10 % in rats employing three different colloidal volume replacement solutions (Voluven, Volulyte and Gelafundin) that are routinely used in clinical practice at present. We did not see severe dilutional acidosis as to be expected, but a decline in urinary pH. We here looked on further mechanisms of renal acid excretion during normovolemic hemodilution. Bicarbonate, which had been removed during normovolemic hemodilution, was calculated with the help of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The urinary amount of ammonium as well as phosphate was determined in residual probes. The absolute amount of free protons in urine was obtained from the pH of the respective samples. The amount of protons generated during normovolemic hemodilution was approximately 0.6 mmol. During experimental time (5.5 h), distinct urinary ammonium excretion occurred (Voluven 0.52 mmol, Volulyte 0.39 mmol and Gelafundin 0.77 mmol). Proton excretion via the phosphate buffer constituted 0.04 mmol in every experimental group. Excretion of free protons was in the range of 10-6 mmol. The present data prove that the prompt rise in urinary ammonium excretion is also valid for acute metabolic acidosis originating from severe normovolemic hemodilution.

Published: January 2020

Testosterone has been widely investigated in associations with many aspects of social interactions, emotions and behavior. No research has been conducted on its contribution to the variability of love styles in human. The aim of this paper was to uncover the possible relationship between not only the actual plasma testosterone levels, but also the prenatal testosterone level (expressed as 2D:4D ratio) and the sensitivity of androgen receptor and love typology in young healthy men. There are six love styles which are primary including Eros (passionate romantic love), Ludus (playful) and Storge (friendly) and secondary love consisting of Mania (obsessive), Pragma (practical realistic) and Agape (altruistic). Our results pointed out that low testosterone concentrations are associated with higher score for Eros, Ludus, Pragma, Mania love style. No significant association was proved for other tested parameters of androgenicity (2D:4D, sensitivity of androgen receptor) and love style after correction was applied. Different attitudes and behavior in relationships do have a biological foundation related to endogenous testosterone levels in plasma. Future studies should address questions about the family and social background of participants to differentiate here between moral rules or/and social-conventional rules.

Published: January 2020

Se determinó la composición y diversidad de avispas en tres especies de Ficus (Moraceae) en el Parque Mirador Sur, un área verde de la ciudad de Santo Domingo, en los meses de mayo a julio 2014. Durante el estudio se muestrearon 16 árboles, correspondientes a las especies F. crassinervia Desf. ex Willd (n = 8), F. crocata (Miq.) Miq. (n = 6) y F. citrifolia Mill. (n = 2). Se trabajaron 159 siconos, en los cuales se contaron 11 452 individuos de avispas, 30 256 flores y 16 337 semillas. Se identificaron 19 morfoespecies de avispas pertenecientes a tres familias, cinco subfamilias y 10 géneros. Se calcularon índices para medir la diversidad. Pegoscapus Cameron, 1906, fue el único género polinizador, identificándose una morfoespecie en cada especie de Ficus. Los resultados revelaron que la especie dominante fue Pegoscapus sp. 2, presente en F. citrifolia, debido a su abundancia. El número de individuos de avispas polinizadoras varió entre las especies de Ficus. La mayor riqueza de avispas fue registrada en F. crassinervia (17 especies). La importancia de cada morfoespecie en su interacción con los Ficus jugó un papel importante en las relaciones y ecología del sistema.
Tainacanthus ferox, a remarkable new genus and species of katydids from the high mountains of Hispaniola (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Pseudophyllinae: Polyancistrini)
Authors: Perez-Gelabert Daniel E.
Published: January 2020

The new genus and species of Polyancistrini katydids Tainacanthus ferox gen. nov., sp. nov. is described from specimens collected in the highest mountains of the Dominican Republic, island of Hispaniola. This is the third genus of Polyancistrini known from Hispaniola and the seventh genus of the tribe. Tainacanthus is distinctive due to the unique architecture of its pronotum, which is a large and bulbous shield with an extended metazona that covers and protects the stridulatory apparatus surrounded by a relatively small number of large and sharp spines. Additionally, all legs are armed with larger and more robust spines than those of Polyancistrus Audinet-Serville, 1831, its most likely closest relative. Tainacanthus inhabits the highest mountains of the Dominican Cordillera Central at over 2,400 m above sea level, living among hard-leaf evergreen vegetation interspersed with pine forests. The type locality is included within the Armando Bermúdez National Park, one of the most important protected areas in the Dominican Republic.

Published: January 2020

Entre los gasterópodos dulceacuícolas, muchas de las especies de la familia Lymnaeidae están involucradas en la transmisión del trematodo parásito Fasciola hepatica (Linnaeus, 1758) a nivel mundial. Galba cubensis (Pfeiffer, 1839) ha sido señalada como vector en Sudamérica y otras áreas del Neotrópico. El uso de técnicas moleculares ha sido empleado por diferentes grupos de investigadores para discriminar entre especies conquiológicamente indistinguibles, como son las del grupo Galba/Fossaria, esclareciendo aspectos epidemiológicos de crucial importancia en el estudio y control de la fascioliasis. El objetivo de esta investigación fue reconfirmar con técnicas moleculares la presencia de G. cubensis y distinguirla de otras especies crípticas como Galba truncatula (Müller, 1774) y Galba shirazensis (Küster, 1862) en la región noreste y sur de República Dominicana. Se capturaron moluscos compatibles fenotípicamente con G. cubensis y se tomaron mediciones conquiológicas de los mismos. Además, se realizaron análisis de ADN mediante PCR convencional con primers específicos para las tres especies sospechadas, con ejemplares fijados en alcohol al 80 %. Se obtuvo amplificación de una región del ADN mitocondrial de la especie G. cubensis, únicamente. El uso de la técnica permitió confirmar que G. cubensis es, a la fecha, la única especie de limneido involucrada en la transmisión de la fascioliasis en República Dominicana.

This is due to the fact that a lot of practices in schools, families, as welf as in society do not conform with the etical conduct, moral, and good manner that are universially accepted by human being. Therefore, all people who concern on the future of the nation, especially educators, should aware of the importance of character education, in order to save the future generation from moral degradation. Related to the problem, this aims at trigerring the awareness of educator to the importance of character education, by discussing the conceptual meanings ( what, why, and how) of character education, then followed by the possibility for implementation, and ended with the implication on education and teacher education.

Open and Distance Learning (ODL) nowadays becomes a trend in higher education. Course delivery and course materials distribution have already been in electronic form by using information and communication technology (ICT). This technology becomes cheaper and much easier to be used. Indonesia as a nation where its people spread in thousands of islands does not always have face-to-face university in each city. Meanwhile, the need of skilled worker is always increased. ODL then becomes an alternative to educate people by using different way of teaching and learning process. People who have difficulties in accessing face-to-face university can use ODL as an alternative to upgrade their education. The role of ICT in ODL become important since the students can learn by using ICT. The students can also “meet” their colleagues virtually. Meanwhile, it was explored that ICT can be utilized for online examination. Online examination is more efficient, much faster in processing the examination result, and much cheaper in budget. This article discusses many aspects of strength and weakneses which is faced by educational institutions in administering online examinations.

Generally, the conceptual framework of social studies in United States and in Indonesia includes concept and praxis of education in democracy which are organised in a form of (1) civic/citizenship education as one of the dimensions of goals, content, and processes of social studies; and (2) social studies education. Basically, education in democracy can also be deemed as a subsystem of social studies education, and social studies education. However, as a subsystem of education in democracy civic educationt has shown its uniqueness i.e. it sinergically focussed on the development of individuals potentials to become smart and good citizens. Along the line of the development of the ideals, instrumenst, and praxis of democracy civic/citizenship education has become the academic endeavour, which then is generally called as civic education or citizenship education.

As indicated by some researcher, cognitive conflicts arise from a collaborative learning when students ask their friends  to redesign (co-construct) knowledge. Conceptually, cognitive changes that occured in a process of conflict or cooperation is a mistake. This argument claimed  that a productive cognitive conflict occurs under a co-operative context, and not individual way. On the other hand, cognitive conflict rarely occurs in a collaborative or developing consensus process, but it occurs at a personal conflict (interpersonal) process. This study examines the implementation of cognitive conflict strategies in the learning of mathematics through individual and group learning in junior high school students. Through the design of Pre and Post Test Control Group Design, the result obtained that the quality of critical thinking skills, either through cooperative and individual learning were in the medium category. While improving students' ability to think creatively through learning cognitive conflict, either cooperatively or individually were in the low category. The test results showed that despite the increase in the ability to think in both groups are on the same level, there was a statistically significant difference. This also applied in the ability to think creatively, even if both were at low levels, but statistically it showed significant difference. The cognitive conflict  approach through cooperative setting is recommended for use by teachers in teaching mathematics in schools.

Beberapa peneliti menemukan indikasi bahwa konflik kognitif dalam pembelajaran muncul dari proses kolaboratif ketika siswa mengajak satu sama lain untuk mengkontsruksi bersama (co-construct) pengetahuan tersebut. Secara konseptual temuan itu  merupakan sebuah kekeliruan. Klaim argumentasi ini adalah konflik kognitif yang produktif terjadi dalam konteks kooperatif, dan tidak secara individual. Dilain pihak konflik kognitif jarang terjadi dari proses kolaboratif dan proses penyusunan konsensus, tetapi justru pada saat konflik secara pribadi (interpersonal). Studi  ini mengkaji implementasi strategi konflik kognitif dalam pembelajaran matematika melalui belajar berkelompok dan individual dengan subjek yang diteliti adalah siswa SMP. Melalui desain Pre and Post Test Control Group Design diperoleh hasil bahwa kualitas peningkatan kemampuan berfikir kritis baik yang belajar melalui kooperatif maupun individual berada dalam kategori sedang. Sedangkan peningkatan kemampuan berfikir kreatif siswa melalui pembelajaran konflik kognitif baik secara kooperatif maupun secara individual berada pada kategori rendah. Dari pengujian diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa walaupun peningkatan kemampuan berfikir kedua kelompok berada pada level yang sama, tetapi secara statistic berbeda secara berarti. Begitu juga untuk peningkatan kemampuan berfikir kreatif, walaupun keduanya berada pada tingkatan rendah, tetapi secara statistic meunjukkan perbedaan yang berarti.

Background. Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common medical condition. The defected nerve, if not repaired as early as possible, can cause long-term denervation and neurotrophy failure for the target organ. This leads to a series of denervation manifestations, such as muscle atrophy, loss of sensory function, etc. and ultimately, these manifestations seriously affect the patient’s sensorimotor function.1,2  Amniotic membranes have been widely used in ophthalmology and skin injury repair because of their anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we measured therapeutic efficacy and determined if amniotic membranes could be used for sciatic nerve repair.Material and methods. A post test only control group design has been done  in 10 healthy Sprague Dawley rats. In all rats, a unilateral right side sciatic nerve transection was performed and reanastomosed by different methods: Group I (control group): included 5 rats, the anastomosis was done by epineural microsutures using 8/0 nylon. Group II: included 5 rats, the anastomosis was done by epineural microsutures using 8/0 nylon and  then wraped by freeze dried human amniotic membrane. Functional evaluation of nerve recovery was done over 3 weeks postoperatively using walking tract analysis and calculate using Sciatic Functional Index.Result. Functional results showed that there was no significant difference of the sciatic functional index (SFI) between group I and group II.Conclusion. We can conclude that during 3 weeks functional evaluation, there is no significant difference between control group and  experimental group that achieved freeze dried human amniotic membrane.Keywords: sciatic nerve injury, freeze dried human amniotic membrane, walking tract analysis, sciatic functional index.

The increased life expectancy of Indonesian people to 66.2 years old contributes to the increased number of elderly people (Aging Structured Population). Aging Process causes health problems among elderly people, including depression, immune deficiency, sleep disorder (insomnia) and urinary incontinence (1). Urinary incontinence is a defect of bladder sphincter or neurological dysfunction which causes loss of control of urinating (2). Urinary incontinence can cause physical, psychological, social and economic problem, thus affecting the quality of life of elderly people (3) (4). The purpose of this study was identifying the prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence among elderly people in PSTW Pariaman. This study was an observation analytical study with cross sectional approach. Here, the degree of urinary incontinence was determined using urinary incontinence diagnosis tool in the form of questionnaire based on Sandvix Severity Index (SSI) and The Three Incontinence ( 3 IQ ). This study used total sampling of ≥45 year-old elderly people. It was found that the number of elderly people with urinary incontinence was around 23.73% with higher number of male (85.71%). The most prevalent age was 65-75 years old and the complaint had lasted over 6 months (85.72%) and had low education level (64.28%). From blood pressure examination, half of the respondents had hypertension (50%). The degree of urinary incontinence based on SSI level showed that most elderly people had moderate incontinence of 85.71%. This was consistent with the theory that the common problem for elderly people is urinary incontinence with estimated incidents of 25-35% of the entire elderly population in their lifetime ( ONAT, 2014 ).
