Examination of the Influence of Betawi Language Elements on the Speech Morphology of Jakarta's Teenagers
Authors: Siregar Iskandarsyah , Arju Susanto
Published: October 2023

This research aims to explore how the Betawi language impacts the speech patterns of adolescents in Jakarta. Utilizing qualitative approach and descriptive analytics, the study focuses on words within sentences that show Betawi interference, categorized into affixation, reduplication, composition, and acronyms. Key findings reveal significant Betawi influence in the areas of affixation and reduplication. For instance, words were often modified with Betawi-inspired prefixes, suffixes, or confixes, and a specific form of repetition, 'dwilingga,' was also evident. Interestingly, no Betawi interference was found in composition and acronyms. This suggests Betawi language has a selective influence on speech morphology, primarily affecting affixation and reduplication. The study provides valuable insights for future research on linguistic influences in multi-ethnic and multi-lingual settings like Jakarta

Phenomenological Views of Pancasila Perspectives about Democracy
Authors: Iskandarsyah Siregar
Published: October 2023

As Indonesia navigates its complex path towards economic and political modernization, the transition to democracy has seen it evolve into an industrial society. However, this change has inadequately empowered vital economic sectors for public welfare. Additionally, the nation's unstable democratic politics stray from Pancasila, Indonesia's guiding philosophical principles advocating for deliberative dialogue. Over the past 15 years, developmental politics and political liberalization have clashed, undermining both the collective economy and cultural wisdom, and eroding Indonesia's unique cultural identity. This has stirred doubts about the fit of democracy within Indonesia's nation-state construct. The ensuing research aims to reevaluate indigenous wisdom and political ideologies ingrained in Indonesia's diverse ethnic landscape, focusing on untapped social capital to bolster the democratic framework. The study comprises two key research areas: one looks at ethnic communities like Wajo and Minang, and the second studies social dynamics in various Java city parks. Grounded in Consultative Democracy and examined through a phenomenological lens, the research sits within the broader arena of political anthropology. It uses a qualitative-interpretive methodology to delve into culture, economics, and politics, aspiring to enrich our understanding of their intricate interconnections in modern Indonesia and contribute to a nuanced dialogue on Indonesia's democratic viability
Covid-19 and Therapeutic Options for its Clinical Management: A Narrative Review
Authors: Ferdous Asiya
Published: October 2023

COVID- 19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic by the WHO on 11th March 2020. In Bangladesh, confirmed COVID-19 cases were detected on March 8, 2020 and since then, Bangladesh is also facing the toll of this highly transmissible viral infection. Though the main strategy to handle the pandemic is containment by isolation of cases, quarantine of contacts, physical distancing of people, wearing masks and sanitizing hand and other sources of contamination, the potential severity of the disease and its deadly complications require effective clinical management as well. In addition to optimized supportive and symptomatic therapy, drugs targeting the pathogenesis of this viral infection at different levels can be proved efficacious in COVID-19. Keeping this in mind, different anti-viral drugs which had been found effective in some pre-clinical and clinical studies against other viruses have been used against SARS-CoV-2. Immunomodulatory and anti-thrombotic agents have proved their own place in treating COVID-19 targeting SARS-CoV-2 induced cytokine storm and hypercoagulability. Some drugs used mainly against protozoal infection have also been used by the virtue of their additional antiviral property. Use of vitamins and minerals to boost up the immunity is also widespread. This review provides an overview of current COVID-19 status, its ways of transmission and clinical presentation. Discussing the pathophysiology, the review explores how drugs used for the purpose of treating COVID- 19 can modulate various stages and factors resulting beneficial outcome. Categorization of COVID-19 cases and their severity-wise management in perspective of Bangladesh have also been discussed. Drugs using worldwide and in Bangladesh have been overviewed in this review justifying their recommendation against SARS-CoV-2.

Published: October 2023

Background: Ascariasis is still a major public health concern and is termed as neglected tropical disease. There are surgical morbidity and mortality due to ascariasis.
Objective: The general objective of the study was to analyze the trend of hospital admission and mortality from ascariasis at a tertiary government hospital in Bangladesh.
Methodology: This was a retrospective chart review performed in the department of pediatric surgery at Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Chattogram, Bangladesh from a period of January 2006 to December 2019. Patients of 0 to 12 years of age who were admitted and diagnosed as intestinal or biliary ascariasis were analyzed for yearly trend for admissions, surgeries, and mortalities.
Results: There were a total of 33,426 patients with various disease admitted and among them 2799 (8.67%) patients were diagnosed as intestinal ascariasis and 375(1.12%) patients were diagnosed as biliary ascariasis. Admission rate for intestinal ascariasis decreased from 15.87% in 2006 to 8.67% in 2019 and that for biliary ascariasis decreased from 1.87% to 0.98 %. The surgical load for intestinal obstruction decreased from 5.20% in 2006 to 1.09% in 2019 among all surgeries. Only one surgery was performed for biliary ascariasis. Mortality rate of ascariasis among all mortalities decreased from 20% to 5%. There was no death from biliary ascariasis.
Conclusion: Surgical morbidity and mortality from intestinal ascariasis decreased over time but ascariasis is still causing loss of valuable lives.

Robust Multiple Linear Backward EliminationRegression
Authors: Rahman Md Siddiqur , Sharmin Sabina
Published: October 2023

For building a linear prediction model, robust Backward Elimination (RBE) algorithm, which is computationally useful and scalable to high-dimensional large datasets, is introduced in this investigation. Backward Elimination (BE) can be stated in terms of sample correlations and simple RBE can be obtained by swapping out these correlations with their corresponding robust counterparts. The robust correlation for winsorized data was employed based on the adjusted winsorized correlation as a robust bivariate correlation. In another study, the Spearman rank correlation was employed as a robust bivariate correlation. However, the RBE has some drawbacks in the presence of multivariate outliers. In this article, the usage of FastMCD (Fast minimum covariance determinant)-based correlation is proposed in BE to reduce the influence of outlying data points. We call this proposed method BEmcd. A comprehensive simulation study was conducted to evaluate the performance of BEmcd with that of RBE based on winsorized correlation and Spearman rank correlation. Simulations and an application of actual data demonstrate the outstanding performance of BEmcd.

Digital technology in physiotherapy consultations: Problem-solving sequences and recruitments
Authors: Keel Sara , Schmid Anja , Keller Fabienne
Published: October 2023

This contribution investigates consultations in which a physiotherapist compiles an exercise program on their computer that the patient can then use at home via a mobile application. It offers an analysis of moments in which physiotherapists encounter problems in locating a specific exercise and of the ways the interactants then achieve a solution. In day-to-day physiotherapy practice, problems with digital technology during the use of health applications or desktop computers occur often. Solving them is experienced as time-consuming and might cause perceived disruptions to workflows and interactions among professionals or between physiotherapists and patients. Adopting an Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (EMCA) approach, our contribution is based on recordings of real-life consultations. It tackles the ways in which problems with a mobile health application (hereafter: the app) are treated in situ and from a members’ point of view. Our analysis reveals that identifying and solving problems with the app involve recruitments, i.e., methods through which seeking or volunteering assistance and/or cooperation is achieved. More specifically, it shows that depending on the moments and the ways recruitments are deployed and organized in physiotherapist-patient interaction, solving problems with the app during consultations creates opportunities for patient participation and thus cooperation between physiotherapists and patients.

Effect of Mixture of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenic Protein-2 and Demineralized Bone Matrix in Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Authors: Son Jun Ik , Lee Young-seok , Ko Myeong Jin , Wui Seong-Hyun , Park Seung Won
Published: October 2023

Objective : This study aims to determine the optimal dose of recombinant-human bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) for successful bone fusion in minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion (MIS LLIF). Previous studies show that rhBMP is an effective alternative to autologous iliac crest bone graft, but the optimal dose remains uncertain. The study analyzes the fusion rates associated with different rhBMP doses to provide a recommendation for the optimal dose in MIS LLIF.Methods : Ninety-three patients underwent MIS LLIF using demineralized bone matrix (DBM) or a mixture of rhBMP-2 and DBM as fusion material. The group was divided into the following three groups according to the rhBMP-2 usage : group A, only DBM was used (n=27); group B, 1 mg of rhBMP-2 per 5 mL of DBM paste (n=41); and group C, 2 mg of rhBMP-2 per 5 mL of DBM paste (n=25). Demographic data, clinical outcomes, postoperative complication and fusion were assessed.Results : At 12 months post-surgery, the overall fusion rate was 92.3% according to Bridwell fusion grading system. Groups B and C, who received rhBMP-2, had significantly higher fusion rates than group A, who received only DBM. However, there was no significant increase in fusion rate when the rhBMP-2 dosage was increased from group B to group C. The groups B and C showed significant improvement in back pain and Oswestry disability index compared to the group A. The incidence of screw loosening was decreased in groups B and C, but there was no significant difference in the occurrence of other complications.Conclusion : Usage of rhBMP-2 in LLIF surgery leads to early and increased final fusion rates, which can result in faster pain relief and return to daily activities for patients. The benefits of using rhBMP-2 were not significantly different between the groups that received 1 mg/5 mL and 2 mg/5 mL of rhBMP-2. Therefore, it is recommended to use 1 mg of rhBMP-2 with 5 mL of DBM, taking both economic and clinical aspects into consideration.

Objective : Blood-blister aneurysms (BBAs) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are challenging lesions with high morbidity and mortality rates. Although research on BBAs is well documented in different populations, the study of BBAs in the Tibetan population is extremely rare. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of BBAs and analyze the treatment modalities and long-term outcomes in the Tibetan population in comparison with the Han population.Methods : The characteristics of patients with BBAs of the ICA from January 2009 to January 2021 at our institution were reviewed. The features of aneurysms, treatment modalities, complications, and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results : A total of 130 patients (41 Tibetan and 89 Han patients) with BBAs of the ICA who underwent treatment were enrolled. Compared with the Han group, the Tibetan group significantly demonstrated a high ratio of BBAs among ICAs (8.6%, 41/477 vs. 1.6%, 89/5563; p<0.05), a high ratio of vasospasm (34.1%, 14/41 vs. 6.7%, 6/89; p=0.001), a high risk of ischemic events (43.9%, 18/41 vs. 22.5%, 20/89; p<0.05), and a low ratio of good outcomes (modified Rankin scale, 0–2) at the 1-year follow-up (51.2%, 21/41 vs. 74.2%, 66/89; p<0.05). The multivariate regression model showed that ischemic events significantly contributed to the prediction of outcomes at 1 year. Further analysis revealed that microsurgery and vasospasm were associated with ischemic events.Conclusion : In comparison with Han patients, the Tibetan population had a high ratio of BBA occurrence, a high incidence of ischemic events, and a high ratio of poor outcomes. The endovascular approach showed more benefits in BBA patients.

Published: October 2023

This study intends to determine teachers’ challenges in teaching English using technological media, namely the Canva application. in this study, researchers used qualitative descriptive methods. An SMK N 2 Singaraja teacher participated in this study because he implemented the Canva application as a learning medium to meet the current educational system. According to (Titiyanti et al., 2022), With the help of Canva, teachers may provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students to engage their abilities and motivation in learned material. To get the data, the researcher used the semi-structured interview method as a data instrument for data collecting. The results of this study state that Canva media is very suitable for learning English because it can improve students’ ability to write, creativity, critical thinking, and motivation to learn. However, the teacher cannot trace this application, so the teacher cannot see the students’ work process in making brochures.

Fast Fashion: English and French Fashion Plates in South America during the Early Nineteenth Century
Authors: Marino Marcelo
Published: October 2023

This article focuses on the circulation of specific European and English fashion magazines and fashion plates in Latin America during the early nineteenth century. Images of fashion and clothing have been present at all stages of the development of visual reproduction techniques. Together, paper and print culture have been linked from the beginning to the notion of speed in the transmission of ideas. The relationship between paper, fashion and the circulation of printed materials was consolidated during the long nineteenth century but began much earlier. Fashion images (fashion plates, but also watercolours and drawings) formed perhaps one of the most important and numerous categories within the visual culture of the period. I highlight the role that some of these representations of fashion on paper have had in the history of the circulation of printed materials in South America, with special attention to Pancho Fierro’s watercolours in Perú, Rudolf Ackermann’s magazines and books in Latin America and César Hipólito Bacle and Adrienne Macaire’s fashion plates in Argentina.

Published: October 2023

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common autoimmune disease caused by multiple factors. The pathogenesis of SLE remains unclear. Helper T cell 2 (Th2 cell) is essential for humoral immunity, which participates in regulating type 2 immune response by producing typical cytokines of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13. It is well known that Th2-associated immunity plays a vital role in autoimmune diseases, including SLE. However, current progress on the role and potential mechanism of Th2-associated immunity in SLE remains largely unknown. The work by Wang et al. have provided an in-depth association of Th2-associated immunity with SLE and the clinical application perspectives. We provide a more comprehensive and up-to-date commentary on Th2-associated immunity in regulating SLE to explore new therapeutic targets.

Authors: Rodionova Anna , Sedova Ekaterina , Teberdiev Dalhat
Published: October 2023

Long-term studies on the effectiveness of using various doses of lime and mineral fertilizer in haymaking show their significant impact on the yield and composition of the grass stand, depending on the mode of use of the accumulated mass. Thus, in a protected area where the grass is not mowed, a grass stand with a predominance of reed grass has formed, regardless of the dose of lime applied. In the area where the grass stand is not fertilized and is mowed annually, a legume-grass phytocenosis has formed with a predominance of low-grass species with a yield of 1.5–2.5 t/ha of dry matter. In the area where the green mass is annually mowed and fertilizers are applied, a grass stand with a predominance of foxtail has formed, while the share of forbs is 2.6–10.3% depending on the dose of lime; leguminous species have practically disappeared. The yield of grass stand against the background of N120P60K90 is 2.7–4.2 t/ha of dry matter.

The gap in information dissemination is one of the problems that befell the people in Batu City. In 2020, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics’ service (Diskominfo) and KIM of Batu City formed 23 Digital Village Televisions named "TV Desa Kota Batu'' as media for information dissemination between stakeholders and the people. This research uses PENCILS theory and is a case study research. Data was collected through open interviews with figures who played significant roles in the program. The results showed that the TV Desa program was used as a medium of communication between the government and the people of Batu City. The Diskominfo and KIM of Batu City hold the role of Government Public Relations as facilitator, mediator, and collaborator. The dissemination carried out to KIM as a collaborator is empowerment through training. Meanwhile, information is disseminated to the people as the external public through many types of audio-visual content.

According to World Health Organization WHO, Tuberculosis (TB) is the second cause of death from infectious disease worldwide. During 2021, 10.6 million people were infected with TB, and 1.6 million people died. TB is caused by pathogens belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb). Members of this complex are acid-fast bacilli, which can cause intrapulmonary and extra pulmonary TB, and can be divided into various lineages, based on genomic markers. The main public health threat comes from drug resistant M.tb strains, which are responsible for about 25% of TB death and treatment failure worldwide. Treating drug resistant TB patients significantly raises the costs of TB treatment. This study provides an overview of the demographic and drug susceptibility characteristics of newly diagnosed TB patients in Israel in 2021. The State of Israel has a very low level of TB endemicity and is at a pre-elimination phase. Notably, only 11.7% of the newly diagnosed TB patients were born in Israel. In this report, of the 154 new laboratory-confirmed TB patients, 66.7% had pulmonary TB, while 16% had extrapulmonary TB. Males accounted for 52% of the patients, with the most prevalent age group being 21-40. Most patients were citizens of Israel (53.9%), while 37.7% had no Israeli citizenship. Among non-citizens, there was a predominance of males and patients aged 21-40. The susceptibility profile showed a high resistance rate to streptomycin (18.2%) and to a lower extent to isoniazid (13.6%), pyrazinamide (8.4%), rifampicin (7.8%), and ethambutol (3.2%). Only 2 cases of XDR-TB and 10 MDR-TB strains were detected in Israel in 2021, with both XDR strains and 5 out of 10 MDR strains belonging to the Beijing lineage. Most of Beijing isolates were resistant to at least one tested drug. Genomic sequencing of 134 out of 156 strains and bioinformatics analysis using the MTBseq program and WHO mutation catalogue shows a good match with only 9 discrepancies between phenotypic and genotypic susceptibility profiles in first line drugs. The most common lineage is Delhi-Cas (23%) followed by the Beijing lineage (17%). Most patients from the Delhi-Cas lineage were born in Africa, while patients with Beijing isolates were born in different countries. Minimum spanning tree analysis identified 15 clusters. The study highlights the need for ongoing surveillance of TB using molecular and phenotypic tools to further decreasing the spreading level of the disease and develop effective treatment strategies.
A rapid 3D magnetotelluric forward approach for arbitrary anisotropic conductivities in the Fourier domain

Previous studies have shown that anisotropy generally exists in geological bodies such as sedimentary rocks and fault zones, and more and more attention has been paid to the arbitrary conductivity media in surveys with the magnetotelluric sounding method. With the breakthrough development of computer hardware technology, large-scale 3D magnetotelluric modeling in anisotropic media has gradually become possible. At present, there are 3D magnetotelluric field simulation algorithms based on finite differences or finite elements for arbitrary anisotropic conductivity. In order to solve the common computational efficiency problems of the existing algorithms, we proposed a rapid 3D magnetotelluric forward approach for arbitrary anisotropic conductivity in the Fourier domain. Through the 2D Fourier transform, the governing equation can be converted from the space domain to the Fourier domain, thereby greatly reducing the calculation amount of the numerical simulation and improving the calculation efficiency. Then, the classical 1D anisotropy model is used to verify the correctness and the computational efficiency. Finally, the 3D anisotropic models of land and ocean are calculated, and the influence characteristics of the anisotropic medium on the magnetotelluric response are analyzed. The proposed algorithm will be used in the inverse imaging technique for large-scale 3D anisotropic data in future studies.
An MDT-based rapid assessment method for the spatial distribution of trafficable sections of roads hit by earthquake-induced landslides

In mountainous areas, roads are often damaged by earthquake-induced landslides (EL). The degree of road damage and the existing functional state will have a very important impact on the whole earthquake relief work. However, this question has long been plaguing scientists engaged in the risk assessment. Now, an MDT-based rapid assessment method for the spatial distribution of trafficable sections of roads (TSR) hit by EL is proposed. The method mainly consists of three procedures: 1) Demarcate the road sections in the evaluated region; 2) Create the data for earthquake-induced landslide sensitivity level for the evaluated region; 3) Use the sample data to devise the MDT model for the TSR hit by EL and calculate the trafficability of road sections. This method was applied in the study of the 2008 Wenchuan Ms 8.0, the 2014 Ludian Ms 6.5, the 2012 Yiliang Ms 5.6 and Ms 5.7 earthquake-stricken regions. The case of Wenchuan earthquake was adopted to establish the method. The cares of Ludian and Yiliang were used to evaluate whether the method could be transplanted into similar regions. The p-value and the kappa coefficient were used to test and evaluate the significance and the consistence of the actual situation. Our results suggest: ⅰ) The Wenchuan evaluated region had the p-value 2.52 × 10−203 and the kappa coefficient 0.91. Less than 1% of the road sections that were inferred to be trafficable with the established method were actually interrupted by EL. The interruptions in the road sections that were inferred to be un-trafficable were 12 times of those in the other road sections. ⅱ) The Ludian and Yiliang earthquake-stricken regions had the p-value 9.7 × 10−107 and the kappa coefficient 0.81. Only 1.31% of the road sections that were trafficable according to the calculation results of the model had been actually interrupted by EL. The interruptions caused by EL in the un-trafficable road sections according to the calculation results were 5.2 times of those in the trafficable road sections. This method could be applied in other similar regions when a certain error was permitted.
An ovulatory menstrual health literacy program within a Health Promoting School framework: reflections from school staff

Introduction

Poor ovulatory menstrual (OM) health experiences and low levels of OM health literacy compromise the future adult health and wellbeing of female adolescents.

Methods

This qualitative study sought reflections from secondary school staff on an intervention adopting the Health Promoting School (HPS) approach which aimed to enhance wellbeing through improving OM health literacy.

Results

Twenty female school staff from ten schools participated: three deans, 11 Health and Science teachers and six healthcare professionals. Five interviews and three focus groups were conducted, and 12 anonymously notated booklets of the program were returned. Reflective thematic analysis identified six themes: a need for OM health literacy; curricular challenges; teaching perspectives; school socio-emotional environment; community engagement; and resourcing needs.

Discussion

Alignment with a HPS-framework may resolve some barriers to future program implementation, such as curricular restrictions, interprofessional co-ordination and community engagement. Additional barriers, relating to menstrual disdain, knowledge gaps and an absence of professional development, may be addressed with training to ensure that OM health education is framed positively and addresses student wellbeing.

The development of novel optimized vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that are capable of controlling the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and the appearance of different variants of concern (VoC) is needed to fully prevent the transmission of the virus. In the present study, we describe the enhanced immunogenicity and efficacy elicited in hamsters by a modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) vector expressing a full-length prefusion-stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein [termed MVA–S(3P)]. Hamsters vaccinated with one or two doses of MVA-S(3P) developed high titers of S-binding IgG antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against the ancestral Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 virus and VoC beta, gamma, and delta, as well as against omicron, although with a somewhat lower neutralization activity. After SARS-CoV-2 challenge, vaccinated hamsters did not lose body weight as compared to matched placebo (MVA-WT) controls. Consistently, vaccinated hamsters exhibited significantly reduced viral RNA in the lungs and nasal washes, and no infectious virus was detected in the lungs in comparison to controls. Furthermore, almost no lung histopathology was detected in MVA-S(3P)-vaccinated hamsters, which also showed significantly reduced levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the lungs compared to unvaccinated hamsters. These results reinforce the use of MVA-S(3P) as a vaccine candidate against COVID-19 in clinical trials.
