Published: January 2022

UMKM di Kota Bogor merupakan UMKM yang mengalami perkembangan yang signifikan dari tahun ke tahun. Pada tahun 2019, di Kota Bogor tercatat ada sekitar 30.822 usaha UMKM yang didominasi sektor kuliner 60 persen, kerajinan 30 persen dan 10 persen lainnya adalah sektor batik. Dengan adanya pertumbuhan UMKM yang signifikan tersebut, maka akan berpengaruh terhadap persaingan UMKM yang semakin meningkat dan akan semakin sulit untuk melihat peta persaingan pada UMKM, khususnya pada sektor kuliner. Sehingga untuk mengatasi persaingan tersebut salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan adalah melihat sentimen konsumen terhadap UMKM tersebut. Salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut, adalah metode Data Mining. Pada metode Data Mining, terdapat beberapa algoritma popular yang sering digunakan. Dan salah satu algoritma yang popular itu adalah algoritma K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN). Algoritma KNN dapat digunakan pada berbagai kasus penelitian, seperti multi-class classification, binary classification dan multi-label classification yang dapat membantu dalam memprediksi berbagai kasus di kehidupan sehari-hari. Sehingga dalam hal ini, kami mengusulkan sebuah ide baru, yaitu penerapan Big Data menggunakan algoritma Multi-Label K-Nearest Neighbor atau ML-KNN dalam analisis sentimen konsumen terhadap UMKM sektor kuliner di Kota Bogor. Ide atau gagasan tersebut dapat bermanfaat bagi pelaku UMKM sektor kuliner di Kota Bogor dalam mengetahui insight atau wawasan dari hasil analisis sentimen konsumen terhadap UMKM dan dapat membantu untuk pengambilan sebuah keputusan bisnis dalam meningkatkan daya saingnya terhadap kompetitor atau UMKM sektor kuliner yang berada di Kota Bogor.

This study aims to explore the role of neurolinguistics in writing creative short stories for students through an interdisciplinary approach. neurolinguistics is a field of study consisting of linguistics and medicine which studies the relationship between language and the human brain which is linked to cognitive neuroscience and sensory and cellular movement. The method used in this research is literature review or literature review. There are four stages or four phases in conducting this research (1) designing a review, (2) conducting a review, (3) analyzing and (4) writing a review. In neurolinguistics, the parts of the human brain are also studied. The brain has 3 main parts, namely the cerebrum (cerebrum), cerebellum (cerebellum), and brainstem (brainstem). There are six factors that must be considered in creative writing, namely general knowledge and cognition, creative cognition, process, motivation and conative, linguistics and literacy, and psychomotor. There are also four-pillar factors of neurolinguistics, namely outcome, rapport, sensory acuity, and flexibility. Neurolinguistics also studies the structure and parts of the human brain, including the cerebrum (large brain), cerebellum (cerebellum), brainstem (brain stem) and limbic system (limbic system). The part that is closely related to writing is the cerebellum (cerebellum).

Editorial – Fulfilling the purpose of a rich, productive, and successful 2021. And preparing for an as much as possible, definitely “true normal” 2022
Authors: Danesin Maxime , Pellitteri Marco
Published: January 2022

Dear readers, students, fellow scholars, welcome to this tenth instalment of Mutual Images Journal, which we have titled “Aesthetic journeys and media pilgrimages in the contexts of pop culture and the creative industries from and to East Asia”, trying to subsume in it the variety of themes the volume hosts.

Audaces fortuna iuvat

The Latin adage of this introduction states: “good luck helps the daring ones”. We think this is what happened to us and Mutual Images, both the journal and the association as a whole. We had left 2020 with more than just the proverbial mixed feelings: we were all uncertain and confused about what would and could happen in 2021. We won’t give you a summary of the many facets of what 2020 has been for the world, because each of you knows that all too well. But for MIRA, at least, 2021 was a moment of rally and refocus on what we hold dear: research, publishing, and the careful organisation of workshops and similar events. We rolled up our sleeves as so many people around the world did, and, in our microcosm of transcultural research in the humanities, media, cultural sociology, and area studies — whether supported by universities or independently run — we brought home two very nice workshops and a summer school. One workshop was held in Italy and Spain in November 2020 and the other in Japan in January 2021, although, for obvious reasons, both were technically conducted mainly online; and the summer school took place on-site in China, in June 2021.

The two workshops saw [...]

The virtual cultural tourist: Film-induced tourism and Kubo and the Two Strings
Authors: Yeo Dennis
Published: January 2022

Over the past two decades, there has been growing research in film-induced tourism. Much of this research is focused on how film influences tourist destination choices. There has been less emphasis, however, on the nature and types of movies that may induce this attraction to such locations. By examining Kubo and the Two Strings (Knight, 2016), a stop-motion animation produced by Laika Studios, this paper aims to apply film studies to explore current understandings of film-induced tourism. This paper argues that Kubo is itself a form of film-induced tourism by positioning the viewer as a virtual cultural tourist whose cinematic experience may be likened to a veritable media pilgrimage through Japanese culture, history and aesthetics. The movie introduces the viewer into an imagined world that borrows from origami, Nō theatre, shamisen music, obon rituals and Japanese symbolism, philosophy and mythology. The resulting pastiche is a constructed diorama that is as transnational and postmodern as it is authentic and indigenous.
What is visual Vaporwave? Vaporwave arts and their history and position in China
Authors: Zhang Xiaolong
Published: January 2022

By Vaporwave we refer to a digital-born electronic music genre and a trend in visual aesthetics. It emerged in some US-based online communities in the early 2010s, and now its visual expressions are in vogue in Chinese visual media context. In this article, Vaporwave’s aesthetics are discussed through three stages of analysis. In the first part, the paper outlines relevant theories and general features of Vaporwave’s (both visual and musical) aesthetics; next, the paper focuses on Vaporwave's visual characteristics, and, to provide a deeper understanding of its visual aesthetics, I discuss a school of painting derived from early twentieth-century Italy—Metaphysical art. In the second part, the article discusses why and how vaporwave aesthetics are inseparable from some Japanese visual characteristics and how it is represented in China, with particular reference to examples of Japanese comics from the 1980s/early 1990s and one popular Chinese video-focused social media TikTok in recent years. In the third part, the article focuses on illustrating Vaporwave's visual features in the Chinese context in recent years, and several examples are provided.

Published: January 2022

La mayor parte de las investigaciones sobre inclusión educativa en México se centran en los principios axiológicos que definen cómo debe ser la educación, en lugar de considerar cómo es en realidad. Han analizado escasamente el impacto de las acciones emprendidas en este rubro, así como sus alcances y limitaciones. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el nivel de inclusión educativa para personas con discapacidad en el nivel superior en México. El enfoque de la investigación fue mixto, con un acercamiento exploratorio. Para esta tarea se desarrolló un indicador de desempeño, cuyo objetivo fue medir la cobertura educativa para personas con discapacidad en educación superior. Mediante el indicador se llevó a cabo un diagnóstico general de la inclusión en las diversas entidades de la República, lo que permitió conocer las brechas educativas que existen entre estas. Además se analizaron los programas gubernamentales que han buscado reducir estas desigualdades educativas. Este artículo contribuye a la agenda de la inclusión para personas con discapacidad, da cuenta de las directrices sobre cuáles aspectos habrá que mejorar, de cuáles instituciones nacionales podemos aprender y cómo el uso de herramientas tecnológicas podría contribuir a fortalecer los servicios educativos que se brindan a esta población.
Where the Glass Glows: Unpacking the Therapeutic Experiences of Adult Students in a Community-Based Open Glass Studio During a Pandemic
Authors:   , Palmer Shelly
Published: January 2022

This qualitative study used categorizing and theming analysis to learn about how adult students of stained glass and makers of stained glass in a community-based open glass studio understand their experience of working with glass during the CO VID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to acquire an understanding about how working with glass was therapeutic during a pandemic. Open-ended surveys were used to understand the experiences of glass makers (n = 11) and students in a stained-glass studio (n = 26) and their responses were thematically categorized. The findings presented illustrate that creating stained glass objects both inside and outside of a community-based open glass studio was therapeutic for a variety of reasons including glass aesthetics, feelings of accomplishment, and a sense of community when engaging in a community-based open glass studio. These findings have relevance for both communitybased open art studios and art therapy practice in general.

A CONSTITUIÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE CULTURAL E DO CURRÍCULO NA SOCIEDADE PÓS-MODERNA
Authors: Everling Cassiana , Junges Fábio César , SOUZA Antonio Escandiel
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo apresenta um pensar sobre as transformações culturais possibilitadas pela passagem de uma concepção moderna, rígida e espacialmente delimitada de sujeito, para uma concepção fragmentada de identidades históricas e culturalmente constituídas. Estas novas identidades culturais, multifacetadas de sentidos e significações, apresentam novos desafios e possibilidades à educação em geral e, em particular, à discussão sobre o currículo escolar. Argumenta-se, portanto, sobre a passagem do indivíduo moderno à constituição dos processos identitários e de culturas contemporâneas em constante mutação e constituição e, por consequência, suas implicações curriculares.
Porphyria Cutanea Tarda in a 54-Year-Old Patient with a History of Hepatitis C: A Case Report
Authors: SJ Carlan
Published: January 2022

Background Porphyria CutaneaTarda (PCT) is the most common type of porphyria and is caused by a decrease in the activity of the hepatic enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase. It is expressed in both a sporadic form and genetic form and typically presents with cutaneous manifestations described as skin blisters in sun exposed areas. Case A 54-year-old male presented complaining of bullous itchy lesions on his hands and upper extremities that were at different stages of healing. Lab results were consistent with porphyria including elevated serum total porphyrins. He was scheduled for phlebotomy every other week for six weeks, hydroxychloroquine, minimize any sun exposure and to completely stop smoking. Conclusion Widespread skin lesions associated with underlying liver disease is a characteristic presentation for PCT. Hepatitis C is an antecedent risk factor for PCT, but can now be treated with antiviral therapy with the expectation of attainment of a sustained virologic response. Improvements in arresting progressive liver disease in Hepatitis C patients may improve PCT symptoms, as well. Keywords: Porphyria CutaneaTarda; Hepatitis C; Acquired liver disease.
Europe in the aftermath of the refugee crisis: the effect on forensic psychotherapy
Authors: du Bois Reinmar
Published: January 2022

After World War II Germany has repeatedly suffered waves of immigration. With eighteen to twenty per cent of the entire German population now being of foreign descent, it is puzzling that public opinion widely ignores the impact of migration on Germany’s national destiny and identity.
As forensic therapists we routinely apply a set of assumptions and routines, by which we address internal and external culture conflicts of migrants. Each wave has challenged the justice system and the legislature, and forensic therapists are used to working around legal boundaries to safeguard that migrants receive treatment and are not deported. The uniqueness of the present wave of migration lies in the overwhelmingly high numbers of arrivals in a very short time span, many of whom were traumatised unaccompanied male minors with ill-informed expectations. Europe in its entirety has seen the breakdown of existing structures for receiving and accommodating refugees alongside a surge of solidarity, but also with some alarming loss of empathy. Public bias against migration is beginning to impinge on our forensic work, as we deal with migrants, whose difficult life situation has had a bearing on their criminal behaviour, while forensic assessments determine whether they are going to be deported or not. We as forensic therapists are therefore caught in a professional dilemma whichever way we turn.
Deprivation and delinquency in the adolescent forensic patient
Authors: Milligan Jeannie
Published: January 2022

Drawing upon Donald Winnicott’s classic paper, “Delinquency as a Sign of Hope”, the author has underscored the importance of recognising the role of emotional loss in the aetiology and treatment of adolescent forensic patients, and she has elucidated how this particular psychoanalytical lens can assist psychotherapists to work more effectively with deprivational trauma. The author has also described her experience as both a field social worker and as a forensic psychotherapist, and has shared moving clinical material with great clarity and generosity, demonstrating the value of incorporating Winnicott’s insights into the forensic consulting room. In particular, the author has examined how the patient can use the psychotherapist as an understanding object who can help to counteract earlier deprivations.

Background and objectives: Dementia is characterized by loss of or decline in memory and other cognitive abilities and reduces the lifespan of affected people. The number of people with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias is increasing every year because of the steady growth in the older population and stable increment in life expectancy and it is expected to increase two-fold by 2030 and three-fold by 2050.In addition to Alzheimer’s disease there are so many reversible and irreversible causes of dementia. This study was aimed to explore the different etiological factors related to dementia patients. Risk factors for dementia, co-morbid conditions were also included.

Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out from 2009 to 2014 at dementia clinic (OPD), department of Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). A total number of 166 dementia patients, as diagnosed by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and confirmed by Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE) score were recruited in this study. Diagnosis of specific type of dementia was made on the basis of established criteria.

Results: Alzheimer’s disease(32.5%) and Vascular dementia(31.9%) were the most common etiological factor followed by Mixed dementia(19.9%), PD with dementia(8.4%) and others(7.2%) like hypothyroidism, head injury, epilepsy etc. Increasing age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, IHD, smoking are potential risk factors for dementia.

Conclusion: This study concludes Alzheimer’s disease and Vascular dementia are almost equally occurring dementia. There are also some potential risk factors for development of dementia whose modification can bring a great change in dementia treatment and functional outcome of this group of elderly people of Bangladesh.

Published: January 2022

Objective: To find out the relationship of different lipids, lipoproteins and ischemic stroke patients in Bangladesh.

Methodology: This case control study was conducted among the patients having ischemic stroke who were admitted in Department of Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from July, 1997 to June, 1999 and age, sex matched apparently healthy volunteers. Sixty ischemic stroke patients confirmed by CT scan of brain and sixty age and sex matched apparently healthy volunteers were enrolled as controls. 12 hours fasting lipid profile (Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDLcholesterol and Triglyceride) was done for both ischemic stroke patients and healthy volunteers for comparison. The students (unpaired) t test was used to compare group means for lipids and lipoproteins. Chi square test, odds ratio with confidence interval were done to evaluate differences between the groups for other variables. P<0.05 was considered as minimum level of significance.

Result: The mean age (±SD) of the patients and controls were 58.45±10.12 and 59.40±10.41 years respectively and 44 (73.3%) were male and 16 (26.7%) were female and male- female ratio was 2.75:1 in both cases and controls. Total cholesterol (Means) was 201.62±5.52 mg/dl and 169.13±3.49 mg/dl in cases and controls respectively (P<0.001). HDL cholesterol (Means) was 38.36±0.81 mg/dl and 44.03±0.84 mg/dl in cases and controls respectively (P<0.001). LDL cholesterol (Mean±SE) in ischemic stroke patients and controls were 125.45±4.63 mg/dl and 96.40±3.23 mg/dl respectively (P<0.001). Triglyceride (Mean±SE) in cases and controls were 188.50±9.35 mg/dl and 142.85±4.72 mg/dl respectively (P<0.001).

Conclusion: This case-control study showed significant differences of serum lipids and lipoproteins (Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride) in ischemic stroke patients than the controls in our community.

Methods: The study was carried out at the Headache Clinic and Outpatient Department of Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka over a period of 2 years from January 2010 to December 2011. Migraine patients attending at the above mentioned places were enrolled as cases, while apparently healthy attendants of cases and other healthy persons, who did not have any history of migraine, were included as control. Based on predefined enrollment criteria, a total of 163 subjects were included in the study. Of them 87 were cases and 76 were controls. The serum levels of CRP of both cases and controls were measured and a serum level of > 6 mg/L was considered as raised/ elevated CRP. Levels of CRP were compared between groups (case and control) using appropriate statistical tests.

Result: The findings of the study showed that the age and sex distribution of case and control groups were almost comparable. The behavioral factors like food or smoking habit and tobacco leaf chewing had no difference between the groups. Over 20% of migraine patients had abnormally high CRP as compared to 7.9% in the control group (p = 0.021). The migraine patients were 3(95% CI = 1.1 - 8.1) times more likely to be associated with raised CRP (> 6 mg/L) than their healthy counterparts. There were 7 migraine patients with aura and 80 without aura. The level of CRP was not found to be associated with type of migraine (with or without aura) (p = 0.960).

Conclusion: Every one in five patients exhibits abnormally high CRP. The level of CRP does not vary whether the migraine is being associated with or without aura. The migraineurs carry higher risk of developing elevated CRP than their normal counterparts.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers for Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Sarker Imran , Khan Md Rezaul Karim , Haque Anisul , Islam Md Rafiqul
Published: January 2022

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia among elderly people. The major pathological hallmarks of AD are the loss of neurons, occurrence of extracellular senile plaques as well as intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Biochemical changes in the brain are reflected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and intense research efforts have been made to develop biomarkers for the central pathogenic processes in AD that can be used as diagnostic tools. Biomarkers are essential part of disease management as they are essential for diagnosis, monitoring the disease progression, detecting early onset of the disease, monitoring the effect of therapeutic intervention, and also avoiding false diagnosis of the disease. Unfortunately, none of the biomarkers presently available are able to accomplish the disease diagnosis single-handedly. Three CSF biomarkers, Aâ42, Total-tau (t-tau), and phosphorylated-tau (p-tau), have been found to have the highest diagnostic potential.

Published: January 2022

Aim: Recent studies have provided evidence that uric acid (UA) is supposed to play a neuro-protective role in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Uric acid is a natural antioxidant that may reduce oxidative stress, a mechanism thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of PD. This study aimed to evaluate whether the serum UA level was associated with PD in a relatively small population of Bangladeshi patients.

Materials and methods: An observational prospective case control Study was conducted in Neurology department of Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital including both the male and female wards during July 2012 to December 2013. Serum uric acid were determined from 40 PD patients and compared with 70 age and sex matched control; following the uric acid colorimetric method, the serum creatinine (Scr) levels were also measured to reduce the bias caused by possible differences in renal excretion function. Data were analyzed with software SPSS 16 and statistical descriptive methods (mean percentage, SD) and t-test.

Result: In this study, 22 men (55%) and 18 women (45%) with PD were evaluated. The mean serum uric acid in patients was 3.7±0.97 and in the control group was 5.32 ±0.44. This difference was statistically significant.(p=0.001) Also, the mean serum uric acid in both men (3.48±0.98) and women (4.1±1.17) patients group was statistically lower than both men (5.39±0.46) and women (5.17±0.35) in control group.(p=0.001).

Conclusion: This present study showed a positive association between low serum UA and PD .

GBS with Bilateral plantar extensor – A case report
Authors: Rahman Hafizur , Hannan MA , Arifuzzaman Md , Abbasi Mahabub Ara
Published: January 2022

GBS is an immune mediated polyradiculoneuropathy classically characterized by acute symmetrical ascending lower motor type weakness and areflexia. But sometimes, in axonal variants of GBS, reflexes are preserved or exaggerated. We report a case of GBS with bilateral extensor plantar response during the course of the disease. A 36- year-old male presented with acute quadriplegia with asymmetrical muscle weakness and extensor plantar response. Sensory, bowel and bladder function was intact. He was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone daily for 5 days without improvement. NCS revealed AIDP and AMAN variants of GBS. So, in any patient presenting with acute quadriplegia with extensor plantar response, GBS should be considered as differential diagnosis.

Authors: Hosen Mostafa , Islam Md Rafiqul , Rizvi Abu Nasir , Bhuyian Moniruzamman
Published: January 2022

Background: The relation between serum lipids and ischemic stroke remains controversial in young patients. The aim was to determine the serum lipid profile and the vascular risk factors for ischaemic stroke in a series of patients under 45 with an ischemic stroke and to compare them with a series of controls of the same age.

Material and method: This case-control study was conducted in the Department of Neurology and Department of Biochemistry of BSMMU, Dhaka, between the period of July 2007 and June 2009 for duration of two years. A total number of 50 patients presented with recent ischemic stroke and 50 control person were enrolled in this study. All patients of both sexes, aged between 15 to 45 years presented with ischemic stroke, from 0 day to 1 month that was confirmed by CT scan of head/MRI of brain. Vascular risk factors were recorded and blood sample was collected from the cases and the controls and analyzed at the Dept. of Biochemistry, BSMMU for estimation of serum fasting lipid profile.

Result: Multivariate analyses showed that other than serum lipids- family history of dyslipidaemia, family history of stroke or TIA, history of HTN and smoking habit are found significant risks for stroke in young adult.

Conclusion: The present study does not confirm the role of serum lipids as risk factors for ischemic stroke in young adult. Other than serum lipids- family history of dyslipidaemia, family history of stroke or TIA, history of HTN and smoking habit are found significant risks for stroke in young adult.

Sarcopenia, A Booming Concern of Ageing World: A Review
Authors: Rahman Md Shahidur
Published: January 2022

Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength with a risk of adverse outcomes such as physical disability, poor quality of life and death. With the onset of advancing age, muscle tissue is gradually lost, resulting in diminished mass and strength, a condition referred to as sarcopenia. The sequelae of sarcopenia often contribute to frailty, decreased independence, and subsequently increased health care costs. This review article will introduce potential mechanisms that may contribute to sarcopenia, although no one mechanism has yet, and may not completely, define this process. Despite sarcopenia is an inevitable process of life, prevention and treatments are absolutely needed in order to improve the quality of life and quality adjusted life years. Adequate nutrition and structured exercises are essential components of treatment and prevention. However, even those individuals who maintain their fitness through exercise do not appear to be immune to sarcopenia.

The aim of the present study was to know the normal haemato- biochemical profiles of black Bengal goats in Bangladesh. Blood samples were collected from Jugular vein of 20 Black Bengal goats which were divided into 5 groups (4 goats in each group) on the basis of age, sex, nutritional and feeding status. The whole blood was analyzed for hematology, plasma and serum samples for biochemical analysis. The results of the present study demonstrate the normal haemato-biochemical values of the Black Bengal goat breeds with their age specificity. Total RBC (15.15 ± 1.29 million/cumm), haemoglobin (7.04 ± 1.02 g/dl), total WBC (11.64 ± 1.12), differential leukocyte counts of neutrophils (70.89 ± 2.06%), lymphocyte (23.79 ± 1.69%), eosinophil 2.1%), basophil (2.3%), MCV (35.04 ± 0.47) and PCV (26.98 ± 1.49%). This study also reveals the normal bio-logical profile counts as total protein (69.47±2.31 g/L), Albumin (42.47 ± 2.31g/L), Globulin (27.32g/L), Phosphorus (3.46 ± 1.19), blood Urea (22.97 ± 0.58), Creatinine (0.645mg/dl), ALT (20.32U/L), ALP (91.59 U/L), GGT (37.46 U/L), IgG (18.91 ± 1.14 g/L), IgM ( 2.87 ± 0.18g/L), gA (.031 ± 0.12g/L) and IL-6 (1.69±0.15g/ml). The study found higher number of RBC (million/cumm), WBC (Thousands/cumm), and PCV% in the goats of age 3 years and above (18.02 ± 1.27, 14.72 ± 1.19, and 28 ± 3.2), respectively. Besides, Neutrophils% and total protein was found higher (76.289 ± 14.5%, 77.52 ± 8.43 g/L), respectively in the Black Bengal goats of 6 months to 1 year age. Present results stated some significant variation of parameters between goats of various ages; on the other hand, some shows no significant variation at all.
