The study used the dialectical method of scientific cognition, analysis and synthesis, systematic generalisation, comparative analysis, as well as objective-historical, inductive, deductive methods, heuristic method of generating solutions, and the method of targeted substantiation. The study examined the trends in the development of investment activity in the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy in the pre-war period and during the war. The challenges and threats to agriculture caused by Russian aggression were identified. The study identified the main issues of investment activity of agricultural producers in the context of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, suggested solutions to overcome these issues and vectors of support for agriculture during the war and in the post-war period of the country’s recovery. The study considered the destructive processes in the system of functioning of the agrarian economy of Ukraine in the pre-war period and substantiated measures to overcome them. Priority areas of investment support to ensure sustainable development of the agrarian economy and rural areas were identified. The key guidelines for the development of the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy were substantiated. The conclusions, proposals, and practical recommendations can be used to develop corresponding programmes and measures aimed at supporting agricultural producers during the war and in the post-war period of national economic recovery

Published: November 2023

The impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on education and human development is currently unknown and may have substantial ethical implications in these fields. In this commentary, we discuss the nature of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models that use deep learning to produce human-like text. This is an effort to understand how GPT models can support students, educators, and human development professionals to enhance learning while assisting in developing their professions. We conclude by outlining the need for policy decisions and ethical considerations on incorporating these technologies into educational and human development settings.

Tourism is one of the most developed sectors in Indonesia. The development of the tourism sector is certainly inseparable from the potential possessed by Indonesia, namely the vast archipelago from Sabang to Marauke so that it can support destinations in various regions, plus the diversity of cultures, customs, and regional potentials that open opportunities for access to introduce tourism. Tourism in Indonesia has become a nation's asset, as a driving force for the nation's economy. Indonesian citizens themselves are not a few who are involved in the activities of the world of tourism, both those who act as producers in this case are tourism managers or who choose to become tourists (tourism consumers). Especially for tourism activists, they can make tourism their business way to generate profits by opening a number of tourism facilities, including restaurants, lodging, culinary, souvenirs that symbolize the characteristics of the area and other facilities that support tourism itself. In order to achieve this goal, what must be done is to manage the tourism business optimally, which is then continued by marketing the business so that this tourist spot will be visited by both local and international tourists. This marketing method cannot be separated from the vital role of business communication. Business communication is the main concept in the existence of a tourism business because every party in the business circle will always be connected with various parties with various interests in order to build and maintain the tourism business itself, both managing relationships with internal and external parties. The study of business communication is very complex. In writing this article, the author will focus on building relationships with external parties, namely consumers or more popularly known as tourists/tourists through business communication activities.

Objectivity which contains the connection of language and logic in studying something so that it can be viewed openly and tested for truth is mentioned in Q.S At-Taubah (9) paragraph 119 which classifies honesty is not just an attitude, but a virtue of nobility that must be upheld. While creativity is about the ability to come up with an idea or modify something that already exists into a new idea concept through aspects of analysis and objectivity in solving a problem as seen from Q.S Ar-Ra'ad (13) verse 11.
MILITANSI BERAGAMA DI KOTA KEDIRI
Authors: Yani Sri Mul
Published: November 2023

Religion that is global and dramatic in people's lives creates pluralism. Religious militancy in the public sphere is required to be mutually transparent and inclusive. Multiculturalism has given rise to religious movements with various applied sciences. The emergence of religious groups in the community in an area sometimes creates a variant of perception. These dynamics follow the rhythm of the frictions of the reality of life. This striking symbol and different characteristics have created a flurry of perception from groups who are not as Kufu. In the city of Kediri, there is a place of worship that is thought to be the center of a different and exclusive group. Positive and negative stigma emerges from several public perceptions of this phenomenon. The mixed fanfare was motivated by several factors. For that we need understanding from each individual or group. Because every individual has a variety of differences in ideological views. This can be influenced by religious understanding, educational background, and experience of each person. Thus, extensive knowledge is needed to address and assess in order to avoid misunderstandings and social inequality. Some of the areas studied by the researcher are about the symbols and various essential motives hidden behind the presence of militant groups. Therefore, the researcher dissects this sensitive phenomenon using perception theory from the perspective of Roland Barthes' semiotica.

Framing Situs Berita Daring Lokal pada Pemilihan Gubernur Bengkulu 2020
Authors: Musyaffa Musyaffa
Published: November 2023

Situs berita daring lokal idealnya bersikap independen, independesinya harus terwujud dalam segala hal, terutama saat kontestasi pesta demokrasi. Pada 2020, Pemilihan Gubernur di Bengkulu menjadi hal kruisal. Rakyatnya dihadapkan pada nominasi calon gubernur yang harus dipilih dari berbagai preferensi yang ada. Situs Berita daring lokal mempunyai tugas menyebarkan informasi tentang figur calon gubernur. Nyatanya, pemberitaannya justru tetap ada dominansi terhadap satu figur tertentu. Tidak kurang dari 200 situs berita daring di Bengkulu, penulis memilih dua di antaranya yang dapat merepresentasikan positioning situs berita lokal yang ada, yaitu: bengkuluekspress.com dan bengkulutoday.com. Lalu,  Bagaimana bentuk framing, hasil framing dan kecenderungan serta keberpihakan situs berita daring lokal pada pemilihan gubernur Bengkulu 2020? Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu penelitian kualitatif pendekatan semi campuran antara analisis teks analisis framing model Zongdang Pan dan Gerald M. Kosicki (sintaksis, skrip, tematik dan retoris), dan penelitian lapangan berupa wawancara dan dokumentasi. Berita terkumpul saat kampanye, yakni: terhitung sejak 26 September -  05 Desember 2020. Adapun hasil penelitian ini, yakni:  Pertama, situs berita daring tersebut tetap memberitakan tentang ketiga kandidat gubernur Bengkulu, yakni: Helmi-Muslihan, Rohidin-Rosjonsyah, dan Agusrin-Imron. Kedua, beberapa situs berita daring ternyata lebih ekstra memberitakan Helmi-Muslihan. Keberpihakan situs berita daring terhadap Helmi-Muslihan lebih dominan dari kandidat lainnya, sebab pemberitaan disertai dengan opini awak media. Hal berbeda terjadi pada pasangan calon lainnya, murni berita aktual dan apa adanya.  Namun, framing situs berita daring tidak dapat menentukan hasil akhir pemilu. Justru, pemilihan gubernur bengkulu dimenangkan oleh pasangan Rohidin Mersyah – Rosjonsyah. Ketiga, upaya framing berita oleh situs berita daring lokal tidak berkorelasi positif terhadap elektabilitas kandidat dalam pemilihan gubernur Bengkulu 2020.

The Polarisation Predicament and Media’s Influence on Partisanship
Authors: Bhalla Raiaa
Published: November 2023

This paper delves into the polarising effects of media’s influence on the current political landscape. It comprehensively analyses- from an empirical and political approach- media such as cable news and social media. The primary objective is to emphasise the criticality of media literacy and the need for vigilance regarding the selective exposure that media can offer. It will provide insights into the future of political media communication and its role in shaping public opinion and whether that opinion can inform democratic outcomes, such as the election results of a candidate or party. This paper is working on the hypothesis that there is a direct correlation between media consumption and the alignment of public opinion with the political views that people are most exposed to online. Specifically, it postulates that individuals who are exposed to biased or one-sided media coverage are more likely to develop opinions that align with those perspectives, whereas those with diverse media exposure are more likely to form varied opinions.
Islam, Poda Na Lima, and Its Actuality in Etymology and Philosophy Perspectives
Authors: Iskandarsyah Siregar
Published: November 2023

The foundational ethos of a nation-state is inextricably linked with long-standing cultural tenets, often encapsulated in a codified philosophy that predates the state's formal establishment. These traditional values serve as an authoritative framework for addressing complex societal issues. Specifically, in the Indonesian context, there is a discernible challenge characterized by a multifaceted set of issues and inherent complexities in devising effective solutions. It is posited that these dilemmas can be ameliorated by adhering to the country's ingrained philosophical and traditional mores. If such a philosophy is rooted in religious principles, it is only through the application of these religious teachings that the veracity of traditional customs can be affirmed. In this regard, Islam is particularly salient as a religion of 'rahmatan lil'alamin,' possessing a universal applicability that encompasses all facets of human existence. The impetus for this research lies in its potential to catalyze a reorientation of societal perspectives, specifically among the Batak tribe. The objective is to align communal practices, including architectural and infrastructural developments, with the precepts of the Poda Na Lima philosophy. This alignment will be achieved by first establishing the points of congruence between the Poda Na Lima philosophy and the tribe’s religious and ethnic identity as Muslims and Bataks, respectively. To achieve this, the study employs qualitative methodologies guided by critical discourse analysis. The results unequivocally indicate that the quintessential principles enshrined in the Poda Na Lima philosophy are not merely instructive but also possess significant intrinsic value. Moreover, the entirety of the Poda Na Lima's content is congruent with and complementary to, Islamic doctrine.

Authors: Rahman Md Mustafizur , Upal Rehman Iqtedar , Ruponti Farzana Afrin
Published: November 2023

Cataract is the main cause of visual impairment and treatable blindness in the world and surgery can restore normal sight to the patients. In bilateral cataract patient, surgery in the second eye is as important and meaningful as surgery in the first eye and it can be performed by immediate sequential (ISBCS) and delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS). There is no statistically significant difference in surgical complications, visual acuity or long term self-perceived visual function between these two methods. To adopt surgical procedure, to improve the patient’s satisfaction and to improve the quality of services, patient opinion should be a great concern. This evaluative study was done to find out various recommendations and suggestions from patients regarding merits & demerits of both types of cataract surgery that will be helpful for the decision-maker and administrator for future practice of cataract surgery in Canada. In this study, vision related quality of life improved in both groups. Participants in DSBCS group experienced different types of difficulties during the gap period between first eye and second eye cataract surgery i.e. visual imbalance between the two eyes and difficulty in driving. They recommended and suggested that cataract surgery wait time should be reduced and the difficulties experienced during the gap period can be eliminated by adopting ISBCS procedure.

Medical students have a greater risk of depression than students of other subjects. When ragging is added to an already stressful condition, it severely affects their academic and occupational life. Our objective of the study was to explore the student’s perspective on ragging at a government medical college in Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2022 at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College, Faridpur, Bangladesh. A questionnaire regarding the students’ views and experiences of ragging was distributed among the first-to-fifth-year medical students. To encourage honest responses, the complete anonymity of respondents was maintained. Out of 820 students, 748 (91%) participated in the study. Nearly 1 in every 2 students reported being victims of ragging, with a statistically significant gender difference. More than 65% of victims said that they became afraid of the seniors and distanced themselves from them. Indicators of clinical depression were prevalent among the victims. Total 42% of the victims had to seek help from friends or family members, 92% of the students agreed that ragging affects the mental health of juniors, and it should be a punishable crime. The majority (77%) of the students believed that seniors seek revenge by ragging their juniors. Establishing a sense of superiority and gaining influence over political and cultural groups were also influential reasons for ragging. Awareness against ragging, alternative programs for senior-junior respectful interaction, and strict management for the rule breakers should be ensured to discontinue the culture of ragging and to maintain a healthy academic environment.

Tonsillectomy is one of the most common procedures performed by otolaryngologists. It is a surgical operation that removes both palatine tonsils from the tonsillar fossa. It is typically performed in youngers for recurrent tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy. This study was done to compare the dissection and diathermy methods of tonsillectomy and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages during surgery and convalescence. This study was a retrospective analysis of 400 patients from January 2015 to January 2020 in Otorhinolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College Hospital, Faridpur. Out of 400 patients 200 patients underwent tonsillectomy by dissection method and rest 200 patients underwent electrocautery method. Total 400 patients were analyzed separately their hospital stay, blood loss per-operatively, complications in each method and overall outcome of the patients. The overall hospital staying in both types was 1-3 days. The average intra operative blood loss was 5-7 ml in cautery and average 50 ml in dissection method. The average operative time was 25-30 minutes in dissection method and 10-15 minutes was in electrocautery. We found higher amounts of blood loss and intra - operative time in dissection method than electrocautery. The chance of secondary haemorrhage was more in electrocautery method than dissection method. Pain, scar formation, odynophagia were more in cauterization method. Complete healing time was more in cauterization method than dissection method. There was no death in both methods. Although per-operative blood loss, operation time were less in cauterization method but post operative bleeding, pain, odynophagia and infection were more in electro cauterization method. In both methods, there were some advantages and some disadvantages.

Published: November 2023

In recent years preterm labor is a significant obstetric concern. Alteration of basic biochemical function at cellular level is one of the etiologies of preterm labor. Several trace elements including magnesium are associated with normal cellular function. Magnesium sulfate is used as a tocolytic agent because high magnesium level causes relaxation of smooth muscle. Hypomagnesaemia leads to neuromuscular irritability leading to uterine hyperactivity which leads to cervical dilation. Therefore, this study was performed to find out the association of hypomagnesemia with preterm labor. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 100 women in labor, of them 50 were diagnosed case of preterm labor and 50 women were in labor at term attended in BSMMCH, Faridpur during July 2021 to December 2021. After overnight fasting 5ml blood sample was collected and was analyzed for serum magnesium using standard enzymatic method. Mean value of serum magnesium was compared between two groups by student unpaired t-test. A p-value was considered to be statistically significant at 0.05 at the 95% confidence interval. The mean serum magnesium was found 1.44±0.36 mg/dl in preterm labor and 2.0±0.27 mg/dl in term labor. Low serum magnesium level was significantly higher in preterm labor.

Published: November 2023

One of the eight emergency obstetric components to reduce maternal mortality is blood transfusion. Region, facility, and clinician influence transfusion rates. Bangladesh lacks hospital-based data on obstetric blood transfusions. The study aims to review the incidence, indications, and hazards of blood transfusions among obstetric patients in a tertiary hospital. This descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken at the Department of Obstetrics, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College Hospital, Faridpur, from June 2022 to December 2022. One hundred and fifty pregnant and postpartum mothers requiring blood transfusions were selected. We analyzed their demographics, clinical history, transfusion hazards, and hospital courses. The blood transfusion rate among obstetric patients was 28.36%. Among the 150 study participants, 71% were from rural areas. Only 8% of patients took ≥4 antenatal care (ANC) visits. Antepartum anemia (51%) and postpartum hemorrhage (40%) were major blood transfusion indications. The mean blood requirement was 1.83 ± 1.22 units (Range: 1 to 7). Forty eight percent of the transfused blood came from the patient’s friends and family, while 7% of the blood was bought. Seven percent of transfusions resulted in adverse reactions. High transfusion rates necessitate planned facility management. In addition to facility preparation, it is essential to strengthen ANC and educate pregnant women about the hazards of anemia during the pregnancy period.

Authors: Datta Abhijit , Sharma Prayush , Ahmed Shamim , Haq Syed Atiqul
Published: November 2023

The association of Takayasu arteritis (TA) with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has rarely been described in the literature. This paper reports the first documented case of TA and APS in a 24-year-old woman in Bangladesh. This patient had claudication pain in upper and lower limbs for four years and Raynaud’s phenomenon in right hand for eight months. During the course of her illness, she suddenly developed deep vein thrombosis in left superficial femoral, popliteal and posterior tibial veins. Conventional angiography revealed total occlusion of right subclavian artery and 60-70% stenosis of right common iliac artery. CT angiography of right upper limb also supported these findings along with increased wall thickening in the 2nd part of right subclavian artery and moderate narrowing of the 1st part of right axillary artery. She had persistently positive anticardiolipin antibodies in high titers, positive lupus anticoagulant (LA), prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and severe thrombocytopenia. We started high dose prednisolone (1mg/kg daily). Her platelet count increased rapidly. Based on review of 10 case reports, we considered the rare association of TA and APS. Both conditions should be determined promptly for the sake of early institution of the appropriate therapy.

Published: November 2023

Bochdalek hernia (BH) is the most common type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and constitutes 85% of cases. In adults BH is extremely rare. Most of them are asymptomatic. We present a case of BH in an adult patient to point out the importance of clinical examination and computed tomography (CT) scan in reaching the exact diagnosis. A 17-year-old male was presented to the surgery department with a 3-days history of recurrent abdominal pain, vomiting and unable to lie flat. The BH was confirmed on computed tomography (CT) imaging and the patient underwent emergency laparotomy and per-operatively we found part of stomach, greater omentum, splenic flexure of colon along with spleen herniated into the left hemithorax through a defect of approximately 8x6cm in the left postero-lateral aspect of the diaphragm. Reduction of hernia contents and surgical repair of the defect was done with non-absorbable suture. His post-operative period was uneventful. Although rare, this disorder should be recognized and treated appropriately to avoid complications.

Transportasi adalah suatu pergerakan baik manusia ataupun barang dari suatu tempat ke suatu tujuan. Pada proses pergerakan tersebut tentu dibutuhkan sebuah sarana pengangkut untuk mempermudah berupa kendaraan yang mana dalam pengoperasiannya dapat menimbulkan suara-suara seperti suara mesin yang kelur melalui knalpot maupun klakson. Kebisingan sendiri berasal dari kata bising yang artinya semua bunyi yang mengalihkan perhatian, mengganggu, atau berbahaya bagi kegiatan sehari-hari, bising umumnya didefinisikan sebagai bunyi yang tidak diinginkan dan juga dapat menyebabkan polusi lingkungan. (David Cornwell 1998).Maka dari itu perlu dipandang untuk dilakukan penelitian perhitungan tingkat kebisingan yang terjadi masih dapat tertolerir atau sudah melampaui ambang batas sehingga perlu dilakukan suatu kegiatan yang perlu dilakukan untuk mengurangi dampak negative dari kebisingan tersebut. Analisa kebisingan tersebut dilakukan di jam sibuk baik pagi hari ataupun sore hari yang memungkinkan terjadinya kenaikan intensitas polusi suara kebisingan di jalan raya yang berasal dari sepeda motor (MC) kendaraan ringan (LV). analisa ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan 2 metode yakni metode Regresi linear dengan

Penggunaan material alam secara terus- menerus pada pembuatan beton dikhawatirkan terjadi eksploitasi sumber daya alam yang tidak dapat diperbaharui, sehingga dibutuhkan material pengganti yang lebih ramah lingkungan dan memiliki nilai lebih apabila berasal dari limbah. Pada pekerjaan kontruksi tentunya ada saja potongan keramik yang tidak dibutuhkan lagi, hal itu jika dibiarkan begitu saja akan menjadi limbah bagi lingkungan. Keramik termasuk kategori limbah padat namun hampir memiliki kesamaan karakteristik dari material agregat kasar yang umum digunakan pada beton, Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan keramik sebagi pengganti Sebagian agregat kasar pada kuat tekan dan berat volume beton. Variabel penelitian yang digunakan adalah beton dengan 0% limbah keramik atau beton normal (BN), 20 % limbah keramik (BK 1), 40 % limbah keramik (BK 2), 60% limbah keramik (BK 3). Hasil penelitain menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan limbah keramik meningkatkan kuat tekan dan berat volume beton. Kuat tekan mengalami peningkatan sebesar 89% dari kuat tekan beton normal yaitu 14,9 MPa  pada komposisi 60% limbah keramik. Berat volume juga mengalami kenaikan 1,08 % dari berat volume beton normal.

Danau laguna atau danau Ngade adalah salah satu danau di Pulau Ternate. Masyarakat memanfaatkan danau ini sebagai tempat wisata dan aktivitas perikanan. Hal ini berdampak terhadap kualitas air danau laguna sehingga perlu dilakukan pengukuran terhadap paramater pencemaran air. Ini karena danau dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber air bersih sebab saat ini Kota Ternate mengalami keterbatasan sumber daya air. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui kelayakan danau Ngade sebagai sumber air bersih dari segi kualitas dan kuantitasnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif eksperimental dengan melakukan percobaan dan pengujian terhadap kualitas air danau Ngade dan menentukan kuantitas air danau melalui perhitungan dari data pengukuran. Pemeriksaan kualitas air dilakukan langsung di danau Ngade dan di Laboratorium secara fisik dan kimia. Secara fisik meliputi pemeriksaan rasa, bau, kekeruhan, dan suhu. Pemeriksaan secara kimia dilakukan melalui pemeriksaan COD, DO, pH, TDS, Kesadahan ( CaCO3), logam (Tembaga, besi, Mangan), dan mineral lain. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa pengujian kualitas air danau memenuhi baku mutu sesuai Permenkes No. 32 Tahun 2017 dimana air di tengah danau memiliki kualitas air yang lebih baik dibandingkan air yang berada di tepi danau. Sementara pengukuran kuantitas air di danau Ngade didapatkan sebesar 3.394.744.000 liter. PDAM saat ini menggunakan pompa dengan debit 5 liter/detik sedangkan debit andalan pada air yang menjadi cadangan sumber daya air bagi danau Ngade sebesar 45 liter/detik sehingga air danau Ngade layak dijadikan sebagai sumber air bersih dari segi kualitas dan kuantitas. Kata kunci:  kuantitas, kualitas, air, danau, analisis, ngade
