Authors: Yuniarto Bambang , Kusumawardhani Tiara Adiyanti , Nurfadillah Fatkhurezky , Latif Muhamad Khoirul
Published: October 2024

The Indonesian state is one of the many countries that use a democratic system. Democracy is a system in which the people hold the highest position in government. This is in accordance with the etymological meaning of democracy, namely demos which means people and cratos which means power. And democracy has a reciprocal relationship that is from the people, by the people and for the people. This proves that democracy puts the people in the highest position. The requirement for democracy is the existence of elections. General elections occur when there are several political parties competing with each other for power and realizing the goals and ideals of the people or their members. In addition to realizing the ideals or goals of the people, political parties also have a very important role, namely conveying the aspirations of the people to the government in power, and political parties are also representatives of the people in overseeing the course of government so as not to deviate from pancasila. This writing uses a qualitative method approach using library research methods or literature studies. Where in the content of our material there are opinions of experts in their fields in the material we get by exploring previous studies related to the role of political parties in maintaining democratic stability in Indonesia. And in this writing we as writers really hope that our writing can be useful for readers, and we also hope that through our writing readers will be more concerned about the role of political parties in maintaining democratic stability in Indonesia.

Food Reintroduction in FPIES
Authors: Terpstra Collin
Published: October 2024

The aim of this article is to inform practitioners on a safe and reliable strategy for introduction of the food in the context of FPIES. This approach can be utilised to confirm the diagnosis in a suspected patient or to confirm the persistence of FPIES. A confirmational challenge is recommended to establish a diagnosis and avoid the unnecessary burden of avoiding a food that is not responsible. Ultimately, it is a shared decision between the patient/family and clinician to perform a challenge especially if the original reaction was severe. Unlike IgE-mediated allergies, a challenge in FPIES should never be converted to a therapeutic protocol; oral immunotherapy is not applicable to FPIES. IgE-mediated allergies can be treated with oral immunotherapy (OIT). If a food challenge were to induce a reaction, clinicians might consider switching over to OIT to treat the allergy. FPIES can present with or without symptoms. If a challenge or reintroduction fails in FPIES, clinicians can discontinue and attempt it again later.
Itching to Know More: Overcoming Barriers to Successful Management of Atopic Dermatitis
Authors: Weinstein Miriam
Published: October 2024

Patients suffering from atopic dermatitis (“eczema”) are frequently referred to specialists for management advice. Different published guidelines and management recommendations for eczema typically share a common goal of helping health care practitioners (HCPs) provide patients with strategies to control their eczema and include 1) trigger reduction, 2) emollient use, 3) topical anti-inflammatory medications, 4) treatments for complications and 5) ancillary treatments. While it is encouraging that emerging systemic therapies may change eczema management in the future, currently, for many patients, topical treatments remain the mainstay of therapy. Many patients remain sub-optimally controlled–not because of a lack of good strategies—rather, due to barriers in executing these strategies successfully. The focus of this article will be to help identify and overcome some of these common barriers that might impede treatment management success.
Overview of the 2019 Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) Next-Generation Update
Authors: Waserman Susan , Shah Anita
Published: October 2024

In 2019 and 2020, two guidelines on the pharmacotherapeutic management of allergic rhinitis (AR) were updated using a Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE)-based approach or a mixed GRADE and consensus-based approach. This article will provide a synopsis of the 2019 ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma) next-generation update, including comparisons to relevant recommendations made by the 2016 ARIA revision and 2020 AAAAI (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology) Rhinitis Practice Parameter.
A New Era: Exploring the Role of Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis
Authors: Biadsee Ameen , Sowerby Leigh
Published: October 2024

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), in its simplest form, is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that has been present for more than three months. The clinical diagnosis is characterized by nasal obstruction/congestion/discharge, facial pain and decreased/absent smell with signs of inflammation in the sinonasal mucosa on endoscopy or computed tomography. An impaired sense of smell and olfactory loss is a cardinal feature of patients with nasal polyps. CRS affects about 5-12% of the population according to recent epidemiological studies, with a peak prevalence of 16% between the ages of 50-59. While the symptoms are often downplayed by patients themselves, the impact on quality of life has been shown to be on par with congestive heart failure, moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and Parkinson’s disease. The most common extra-nasal sequelae are fatigue and depression, with approximately half of patients surveyed reporting fatigue and one-quarter reporting depression. The societal impact is significant with annual rates of absenteeism estimated at 24.6 days a year, and at an overall productivity cost estimated at $10,077 per patient.
The Use of Biologics in Food Therapy
Authors: Bégin Philippe
Published: October 2024

In the last decade, the advent of biologic medications has transformed the practice of allergy, allowing clinicians to address unmet needs in the treatment of asthma, chronic spontaneous urticaria, atopic dermatitis and nasal polyposis. Emerging and novel therapeutic agents in food allergy have however been slower to develop, with no biologic currently approved for this indication. One factor has been that the low direct cost associated with food allergy created a poor incentive for pharmaceutical investment in research and development. However, the recent availability of health economic tools to quantify intangible costs and the recognition of oral immunotherapy as a valid treatment alternative has helped better define the unmet need. This may partly explain the renewed interest in developing medications for food allergy, with ongoing trials at various stages. In practice, clinicians are confronted with severe and/or complex cases of food allergy that could potentially benefit from treatment with biologic therapy, but there are no published studies demonstrating their proper use in these clinical scenarios and patient populations. There are various review articles available summarizing the evidence from the literature. The objective of this article is to focus on practical knowledge regarding the off-label use of biologics in food allergies.

Targeted Therapies for Allergic Conjunctivitis
Authors: Chow King
Published: October 2024

Allergic eye disease is extremely common as the eye is sensitive to irritants due to its constant exposure to the external environment. Approximately 40% of the general population is affected by ocular allergies. The majority of patients may also suffer with additional associated symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion, sneeze, etc.; however, 6% may have isolated ocular symptoms. In addition, there are links between ocular allergies and other allergic conditions such as asthma, food allergy and atopic dermatitis. The challenge is that in addition to ocular symptoms, patients experience a substantial negative influence on their quality of life (QOL). The most common symptoms are watery and itchy eyes; redness; soreness; stinging; burning sensations; and swelling. Unfortunately, as these symptoms are quite common, most patients may choose to self-medicate and many cases are undiagnosed or underdiagnosed. As a result of this, patients may not utilize the correct management strategy; this can lead to a further propagation of symptoms and a greater reduction in patients’ QOL. Hence, it is crucial for patients to seek professional medical attention, while physicians must gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct relevant investigations. Additionally, the physician ought to propose the correct diagnosis and suitable treatment plan.
Hydrogen and methane breath testing for abdominal bloating of small intestinal origin
Authors: Chen Jihong , Huizinga Jan D.
Published: October 2024

Abdominal bloating with or without excessive gas production and with or without abdominal distention is common, very bothersome for patients, and is poorly understood. Bloating can be associated with gastrointestinal disorders, nutrient malabsorption, and systemic illnesses. The origin of abdominal bloating is often unclear, though it is usually associated with food intake and bowel motility dysfunction. Often, food allergies, food intolerance, or food poisoning are considered by the patient or physician as potential causes for bloating. A common concern in the patient’s mind is that healthcare professionals will dismiss or misdiagnose their complaint. The limited understanding of the pathophysiology of bloating leads to current empirical management, and bloating is often characterized as a “functional” disorder. Bloating carries a heavy clinical, psychological, and economic burden. Proper diagnosis will provide the patient with peace of mind and lead to effective treatment. This review focuses on the mechanisms and management of abdominal bloating associated with different small intestinal disorders identified by non-invasive hydrogen and methane breath tests.
Berotralstat: A data review of a novel oral medication for the treatment of hereditary angioedema
Authors: Ohayon Jason
Published: October 2024

The treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) has progressed significantly over the last decade. HAE is an autosomal dominant condition that is bradykinin mediated and affects approximately 1 in 50,000 people. This condition continues to challenge allergists/immunologists (A/I) in promptly managing the disease to reduce attacks of potentially life-threatening angioedema, while improving quality of life in a population in which disease activity tends to increase with age. Notably, delays in diagnosis may reach up to 8 years from initial presentation. The impact of HAE extends beyond the patient, and can affect their caregivers, owing to the fear of acute attacks, which can lead to absenteeism both at school and in the workplace and ultimately negatively impact quality of life and career productivity.
Management and Treatment of Neurofibromatosis Type I
Authors: Ferrier Andrew
Published: October 2024

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant tumour suppressor syndrome associated with benign and malignant tumours, predominantly affecting the skin and nervous system. NF1, the most prevalent neurocutaneous syndrome, and the focus of this review, has a frequency of ~ 1/1,900-1/3,500 people worldwide. Disease manifestations can present at birth and emerge with age, negatively impacting multiple clinical domains and imparting a profound impact on a patient’s quality of life and life expectancy. Given its progressive nature and marked clinical variability, NF1 warrants a multidisciplinary approach to management and treatment.
Update on Lupus Nephritis
Authors: Peschken Christine A.
Published: October 2024

Lupus Nephritis (LN) is a common and severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), impacting up to 40% of SLE patients. Despite advancements in understanding the pathogenesis of LN, outcomes have not significantly improved since the early 2000s. LN patients face higher mortality, emphasizing the importance of achieving disease remission. Screening for nephritis involves regular monitoring, especially within the first 5 years of SLE diagnosis. Monitoring includes urinalysis, serum creatinine, and immune serology. Kidney biopsy remains the gold standard for LN diagnosis and classification, providing crucial information for treatment decisions. The standard of care involves hydroxychloroquine for all LN patients, with immunosuppressive treatments tailored to the histologic class. The recently approved medications, belimumab and voclosporin, offer additional therapeutic alternatives. Approximately 20% of LN patients exhibit features of thrombotic microangiopathy, warranting anticoagulation. Optimizing glucocorticoid dosing is recommended, favouring lower doses to minimize adverse effects. Lifelong monitoring is essential, as flares can occur at any point, emphasizing the need for continued immunosuppression. 
Given the lack of renal response in 30–60% of patients, the addition of combination therapies, such as calcineurin inhibitors or belimumab, should be considered. Duration of treatment is crucial, considering the progressive loss of podocytes and nephron function, which may lead to chronic kidney disease. Regular monitoring, maintenance immunosuppression, and lifestyle modifications contribute to preventing flares and improving long-term outcomes for LN patients.

Osteoporosis in 2024: Frequency, Monitoring and Treatment
Authors: Wong-Pack Matthew , Lau Arthur N.
Published: October 2024

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and deterioration of bone architecture, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is the most common metabolic bone disease globally. It is estimated that more than two million Canadians aged 40 years and older have osteoporosis. Approximately 80% of Canadians who have sustained a fracture due to osteoporosis do not receive appropriate care, leaving them at an elevated risk for subsequent fractures, deconditioning, and premature death.1 Many clinical practice guidelines exist on the management of osteoporosis and fracture prevention. Several of them have separate definitions for patients deemed very high and high risk for fracture and, as such, have specific criteria for the use of anabolic and antiresorptive treatments.

Islamic crowdfunding has emerged as a recent phenomenon in many Muslim countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and Pakistan. It affords entrepreneurs with a Shariah-based option of raising funds for their business. Although Bangladesh has a few crowdfunding platforms, their activities are limited. Despite being a predominantly Muslim country, Bangladesh has yet to establish a significant crowdfunding platform. However, several earlier studies have indicated that Islamic crowdfunding has substantial growth potential in Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential of Islamic crowdfunding as an alternative funding source for entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. A qualitative approach was employed, gathering data through semi-structured interviews with experts and consultants in Islamic Shariah and entrepreneurship in the crowdfunding industry. The data was then analyzed by means of a thematic technique. The study reveals that Islamic crowdfunding has significant potential in Bangladesh but faces numerous challenges. Overcoming these challenges could make lending (asset-based) and reward-based models effective and productive sources of funding for the entrepreneurs. The findings can contribute significantly to the standing literature in the ground of crowdfunding. Officials can use these findings to make innovative policies and rulings for the crowdfunding sector. Entrepreneurs can utilize these insights to boost their knowledge and understanding of crowdfunding functions and processes.

Authors: MUNTEANU ALINA , TURCU SUZANA ,   Francisc I. Rainer’ Institute of Anthropology, PETRESCU MONICA ,   Francisc I. Rainer’ Institute of Anthropology
Published: October 2024

The technological society has reconfigured the current environment, generating new needs and changing the motivations of contemporary humans. In this context, self-control is one of the essential abilities that can contribute to an active adaptation, on one hand, and to the development of psychological resilience to the speed at which technological evolution influences life, on the other. Starting from a brief presentation of both the ideological roots of conceptions about the perfect society, as well as the scientific sources of artificial intelligence, the article addresses the theme of education adapted to the new trends of technologizing the personal, professional, and social environment and emphasizes the necessity for the educational environment (family, school, civil society) to synergistically contribute to the optimization of self-control in order to form a younger generation that is self-aware and active in the process of making informed decisions.
At stratos’ “cauldron”. Tsípouro distillation and qualitative moral economy in Evzonoi, Greece
Authors:   Independent Researcher, ȘTEFANUCĂ SEBASTIAN
Published: October 2024

Anthropological studies of moral economy are grounded in a quantitative conception of economics. In the theoretical slipstream of scholars such as James C. Scott or Edward P. Thompson, an authority extracting goods and services from a subordinate entity behaves morally if what remains for the latter is quantitatively sufficient for survival and social integration. The ultimate objective pursued in this paper is a contextual and alternative re-visiting of the moral economy. The context is provided by the activity at one of the two workshops for distillation commonly known as “cauldrons”– that of Strátos – in Évzonoi, Kilkis prefecture, Greece. He distils each autumn tsípouro, the renowned Greek brandy from grapes. The anthropological backdrop of behaviours at the cauldron was rooted in the trust that the two parties involved in the economic relationship fulfil their respective duties; for Strátos, among others duties, that of distilling a product of the highest quality, primarily related to safety for consumption. The alternative revisiting of the moral economy involves a redefinition of the safety-first principle, as was implied by J. C. Scott: a shift from safety concerning the quantity of goods and services one needs for survival and social integration to one related to their quality.

Personalized Mood-Centric Book Recommendation Integrating Machine Learning with Content Based Filtering
Authors: Sarwath Unnisa  , Akshaya N S
Published: October 2024

This paper introduces a novel personalized book recommendation system aimed at enhancing subjective well-being (SWB). Despite the vast array of books available on the internet, people often struggle to find literature that aligns with their current emotional state. The system dynamically detects users' emotional states and recommends books tailored to their mood. It utilizes a content-based filtering algorithm to suggest top-rated books in real-time based on the user's current emotional state. For users with low mood, uplifting and inspirational books are recommended, while a mix of happy and sad books is suggested for happy users to acknowledge the nuanced interplay of emotions. Neutral-themed books are proposed to users with a neutral mood for balance. The system employs an emotion classification algorithm for accurate mood detection, analyzing book summaries to extract emotional tones. Users' emotional states are evaluated using a Likert scale, adjusting recommendations accordingly. The methodology involves data collection, preprocessing, emotion classification, and mood meter operation. Results demonstrate the system's effectiveness in providing tailored book recommendations, enriching users' reading experiences.

Published: October 2024

Computer vision systems are significantly impacted by the color variation and low visibility of images taken under sand-dust conditions To address the aforementioned issues, we provide a quick and efficient algorithm to improve photos taken under sand-dust situations. The loss value in the blue channel is first adjusted for. Subsequently, the image deteriorated by sand and dust is color corrected using white balance technology. Lastly, the picture contrast and edge correctness are improved using guided image filtering, and the image detail information is improved by using an adaptive method to determine the detail layer's magnification factor. The approach can successfully restore the fading features of sand-dust-deteriorated photos, according to the experimental results on a sizable number of degraded images by the dust in a brief amount of time, and enhance image sharpness. The suggested method may greatly improve the photos taken during sand-dust weather conditions, as shown by experimental findings via qualitative and quantitative assessments, and the outcomes are superior to those of other ways.

Corn is a vital cereal crop in Bangladesh, significantly contributing to food security and economy. However, the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda, poses a severe threat to corn cultivation. This study evaluates the toxicity of four insecticides and their effect on the nutritional indices of fall armyworm. Experiment was conducted from November 2022 to April 2023 with sweet corn variety BU Misty Vutta 1 at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh. In this research four insecticides: Winmax 40 WDG, Ripcord 10 EC, Marshal 20 EC, and Shobicron 425 EC, were tested on fall armyworm larvae at multiple concentrations. The mortality of fall armyworm larvae was observed at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after treatment. Results indicated significant differences in larval mortality across treatments, with Shobicron 425 EC showing the highest mortality rate (100% at 72 hours after treatment), while Winmax 40 WDG showed the lowest. The median lethal concentration (LC50) and lethal concentration for 95% mortality (LC95) values supported the findings, with Shobicron 425 EC demonstrating superior efficacy. Additionally, Shobicron 425 EC resulted in the lowest food consumption (0.1), consumption index (0.2), Approximate digestibility (19.5%), Efficiency of conversion of ingested food (3.9%) and Efficiency of conversion of digested food (1.1%). The study concludes that Shobicron 425 EC is the most effective insecticide for controlling fall armyworm in sweet corn, suggesting its potential for integrated pest management strategies.

Oral and dental health is concerned with a person’s teeth, gums and mouth. The goal is to prevent complications such as tooth decay (cavities) and gum disease, and to maintain the overall health of mouth. The main objective of this study was to assess knowledge, practice, thoughts and activity of rural people regarding oral and dental health, oral hygiene consciousness, and dentist assistance. This research work was a cross sectional type of descriptive study. Total 200 respondents participated from Bagura Sadar upazilla of Bagura district. A structured questionnaire was used for a face to face interview and the collected data ware analyzed by using SPSS 27.0.1.03.7. It was found that, 52.5% rural people are going to pharmacy when they feel any problem in their orofacial region, 59% of people do not know about dentist, 70% people do not have any idea of dentist degree BDS. But 61% are conscious about oral hygiene. 47% people use toothpaste and toothbrush to clean their teeth. 57 % are cleaning their teeth one time in a day. Majority of rural people have wrong idea towards attitude, activity, practice, and knowledge regarding oral and dental health. Therefore, it is urgent to promote oral and dental health education in the country.

Rice cultivation by direct seeding is viewed as both cost and labor-saving practice and becoming popular alter- native to transplanting. Weeds are a more serious problem in DSR than in transplanted rice. The field experimen- tal is conducted to evaluate the bio -efficacy of pre and post – emergence herbicides, hand-weeding on weed con- trol, yield components, yield and their economic feasibility for cost effective weed control in direct seeded rice. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and seven treatments, viz. Pre-emer- gence oxadiargyl 80% WP @ 100 g/ha, Pre-emergence oxadiargyl 80% WP @ 100 g/ha fb HW at 30 DAS, oxadiargyl 80% WP (PE) @ 100 g/ha fb Post-emergence bispyribac- Na @ 25 g/ha at 25 DAS, Pre-emergence oxadiargyl 80% WP @ 100 g/ha fb Post-emergence metasulfuron- methyl + chlorimuron – ethyl @ 4 g/ha at 25 DAS, Pre-emergence oxadiargyl 80% WP @ 100 g/ha fb Post-emergence carfentrazone ethyl 40% @ 25 g/ha at 25 DAS. Weed density under weedy check (WC) situation showed that monocot weeds (grasses and sedges) were more pre-dominant wherein grasses and sedges constituted 74.80% and 11.48%, respectively, BLWs 14.20% of total weed density at 60 DAS of crop. Amongst the herbicide treatments, application of Oxadiargyl (PE) @ 100 g/ha fb HW at 30 DAS recorded significantly lowest number of weeds/m2, dry weight/m2. The highest grain yield (4.02 t/ha) and benefit cost (1.48) were recorded with the pre-emergence application of Oxadiargyl (PE) @ 100 g/ha fb HW at 30 DAS.

A field experiment was conducted at CCSHAU, Hisar during Kharif seasons of 2021–22 and 2022–23 in three times replicated randomized block design. The experiment was comprised of thirteen barnyard millet-based inter- cropping systems in replacement series with greengram and sesame as intercrop with row ratio of 5:1, 4:2, 3:3, 2:4, 1:5 in addition to their sole crops. Results revealed that the barnyard millet intercropped with greengram was found superior over sole barnyard millet in terms of different intercropping indices. But, barnyard millet intercrop with sesame was found uneconomical. The barnyard millet + greengram (1:5) recorded the highest land equivalent ratio (LER; 1.25), barnyard millet equivalent yield (BMEY; 2977 kg/ha), land use efficiency (LUE; 119.4%), area time equivalent ratio (ATER; 1.14), relative crowding coefficient (RCC; 1.79), monitory advantage index (MAI; ` 10,756/ha), system productivity index (SPI; 2903), intercropping advantage index (IAI; 34.6), net return (` 23,111/ha), benefit:cost (1.42) and per day return (` 300.3) which was closely followed by barnyard millet + greengram (4:2). Hence, barnyard millet + greengram (1:5) intercropping system is a suitable option for achieving higher monetary returns and resource use efficiency as compared to sole barnyard millet under semiarid region of India.
