Community Based Screening of Smoking Related Pulmonary Disorders
Authors: Alghamdi Faisal K
Published: July 2024

Background: Smoking is one of the most prevalent risky behaviors around the world. It is a major risk factor for many morbid and deadly diseases. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disorder that is underdiagnosed in many populations, since its diagnosis requires spirometry, which is costly and not readily available in primary care sittings. Therefore, a cheaper and simpler test may contribute as a screening tool for early referral and diagnosis of COPD. Methods: This is a community based cross-sectional study which was conducted in Saudi Arabia. We included men who were 35-year-old or older. We excluded subjects with history of previous respiratory or neuromuscular disease. Each subject underwent an interview based questionnaire and performed peak expiratory flow (PEF) test. Subjected with lower than expected PEF values underwent spirometery test. Results: 619 subjects were interviewed, of which 588 were included. The average age of the population was 46 years. The percentage of current smokers, regardless of the type, among males in our population was 63% (95% CI = 59 – 67). When compared to non-smokers, subjects with a history of smoking were three times more likely to complain from wheeze (OR= 2.55; P-value<0.001). Heavy cigarette smokers (≥30 pack-year), on the other hand, were more likely to complain from both cough and wheeze (OR= 1.84; P-value=0.04 and OR= 2.63; P-Value= 0.001, respectively). Although reduced FEV1 and obstructive defects were three times more likely among heavy smokers than non-smokers, this did not reach to a statistical significance. Conclusion: Two-third of our male population smoked during their lifetime. The most frequently used type of smoking is cigarette. One-third of smokers suffer from respiratory symptoms and small proportion were detected to have undiagnosed obstructive pulmonary defect. When compared to non-smokers, respiratory symptoms (mainly cough and wheeze) were significantly higher among heavy smokers.
Combined Abdominal and Transanal Approach for Managing Obstructive Defecation Syndrome with Internal Rectal Prolapse and Rectocele
Authors: Dhakre Vijay Waman
Published: July 2024

Purpose: Obstructive-defecation syndrome (ODS) patients who have a large abdominal intussusception and an anal rectocele component may have an associated weakened perineum. In these patients, we feel that only a purely abdominal or transanal approach cannot tackle both the components and a combined approach may give us better results. Method: We describe this combined approach in four patients. The abdominal approach was done laparoscopically. All patients had a ventral mesh rectopexy using a standard 3cm by 15cm polypropylene mesh. The perineal approach differed depending on the underlying clinical and radiological abnormality. One patient had a rectocele repaired transvaginally by the gynecologist, the second one had a transperineal repair with levatorplasty and in the other two male patients, and an internal Delorme’s procedure was done where there were a large rectocele and internal intussusception. Results: One female patient had complete resolution of ODS in one-year follow-up but needs a small dose of laxative. The second patient had good evacuation on regular laxatives and good control. One of the male patients had an 80% symptom improvement with needing to spend 15-20 min in the toilet daily while the last patient had to continue to have some feeling of failure of evacuation 25% of the time. He needed the addition of mirtazapine for his bowel fixation. Conclusion: The combined approach can be used to translate better outcome in a select group of people who have a combination of internal intussusception with rectocele, SRUS, poor perineal body, and a poor anal tone with prolapse.
Management Of Covid-19 In The Outpatient Setting
Authors: Hago Weymin
Published: July 2024

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a respiratory infection caused by coronavirus that leads to symptoms of fever and cough that can ultimately progress to respiratory failure. SARS- CoV-2 was first discovered on December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020 [1]. At the beginning of the pandemic, we had no known guidelines to manage patients with Covid-19. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently released guidelines to define illness severity and some recommendations for management. Unfortunately, there is limited data for the management of moderate illness Covid-19 patients that can lead to the progression of severe disease. Moderate illness is defined as patients with evidence of lower respiratory disease by clinical assessment or imaging with ≥ 94% oxygen saturation on room air [2]. By reviewing the current proposed pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2, we can surmise that the damage to the alveolar cells leads to fluid accumulation in the lung. This pulmonary edema should respond to diuretics; however it is not a considered treatment option for this patient population. In our case studies, we chose the carbonic anhydrase, acetazolamide, for its diuretic effect and its unique effect on pH. We present 2 Covid-19 patients who despite an initial course of antibiotics progressed to moderate illness and subsequently treated with acetazolamide led to clinical improvement.

Authors: H Bekralas
Published: July 2024

Brain metastases from hepatoblastomas are very rare. We report a case of an 11 months old female who developed multiple intracranial metastases and underwent surgery. Only 39 patients were identified in literature and it was indicated that brain metastases are a fatal complication of hepatoblastoma. In a child with known hepatoblastoma, with the development of neurologic signs or symptoms, an imaging study of the brain, preferably a magnetic resonance imaging should be performed to exclude the presence of cerebral metastases.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) related Myocarditis and Pericarditis in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report Providing New Insights On The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19
Authors: Nodari Savina
Published: July 2024

Myocarditis is often caused by viral infection. However, few cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) related myocarditis are described in literature, and, to our knowledge, few pediatric cases are reported. We report the case of a 16 years old male who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection and developed myopericarditis, confirmed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Respiratory involvement was excluded by chest computed tomography. Nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) for SARS-CoV-2 were negative, however plasmatic antibody (Ab) assay was positive. Clinical conditions of the patient improved rapidly after treatment with ibuprofen, hydroxychlorokine and enoxaparin. This case highlights cardiac involvement as a complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection, even in the absence of respiratory involvement. Elderly are more at risk of infection, but pediatric patients might be affected as well. NPS may be negative, especially without respiratory involvement, therefore Ab testing might be of paramount importance to reach diagnosis in these cases.

Authors: Rodríguez Pedro Rolando López
Published: July 2024

Introduction: The objective of this study is to compare the outcomes of Modified Desarda repair no mesh and Lichtenstein repair for inguinal hernia. Methods: This is a prospective randomized controlled trial study of 1342 patients having 1394 hernias operated from January 2008 to December 2020. 690 patients were operated using Lichtenstein repair and 652 using Desarda repair. The demographie data (Age,Sex) , hernia type and location , anesthetic , operative time , postoperative pain and complications were analysed. Results: There were no significant differences regarding age, sex, location, type of hernia, and pain in both the groups. The operation time was 52 minutes in Modified Desarda group and 42 minutes in the Lichtenstein group that is significant (p<0.05). The recurrence was 0.0 % in Modified Desarda group and 0.28 % in Lichtenstein group. But, there were 9 cases of infection to the polypropylene mesh in the Lichtenstein group, 2 of this required re-exploration. The morbidity was also significantly more in Lichtenstein group (7,6 %) as compared to Modified Desarda group (3.8 %). The mean time to return to work in the Modified Desarda group was 8.26 days while a mean of 12.58 days was in the Lichtenstein group. The mean hospital stay was 29 hrs. in Modified Desarda group while it was 49 hours in the Lichtenstein group in those patients who were hospitalized. Conclusions: The modified Desarda repair scores significantly on Lichtenstein repair in most of all aspects, including reexplorations and morbidity. Modified Desarda repair is a better option compared to Lichtenstein repair.

Authors: Elshama Said Said
Published: July 2024

Community-Oriented Medical Education (COME) is considered one of the new trends in medical education in recent years. It can meet the health needs of the community and prioritize the health problems in the community. Moreover, it is a comprehensive approach in medicine that includes health promotion, prevention, and rehabilitation. However, Community-Oriented Medical Education is not a curative approach only but it formulates the concept of health for all that means a better productive life socially and economically. Furthermore, the graduate of Community-Oriented Medical Education acquires and applies many competencies such as leadership skills, problem-solving skills, and decision-making skills, clinical and managerial skills besides the ability to work in a team and interact with his community. Therefore, Community-Oriented Medical Education can graduate a community-oriented physician who has the ability to serve his surrounding community via dealing with health problems successfully at three different health care levels (primary, secondary, and tertiary).

Published: July 2024

The Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin (SMB) II Palembang Meteorological Station is a technical implementation unit (UPT) of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) that plays a role in disseminating actual weather information, particularly at SMBII Palembang Airport. Various weather parameters are observed, one of which is wind speed. During the take-off and landing processes, wind speed is a crucial parameter used by airport personnel, including pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC). This study focuses on analyzingand evaluating three deep learning methods using the architectures of LSTM (Long Short Term Memory), GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), and BiLSTM (Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory). Time series data such as air pressure, rainfall, humidity, and temperature are used as predictors. The data is sourced from the AWOS (Automatic Weather Observation System) device. After processing the data using deep learning methods with the architectures above, an analysis will be conducted to determine which architecture model is the most accurate based on the lowest loss error rate in forecasting wind speed at SMB II Palembang Airport. The results show that the GRU deep learning architecture has the lowest loss value compared to the LSTM and BiLSTM architectures so that it can produce better wind speed forecasts in the next 12 hours and 24 hours, with RMSE of 1.62 and 1.77, respectively

Published: July 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dan memahami tentang seberapa penting menuntut ilmu khususnya pendidikan di dalam perspektif Islam. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif, dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (Library research). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ilmu pendidikan bersifat wajib, selama tidak bertentangan dengan syari’at Islam. Jika dihubungkan dengan Al-Qur’an, maka akan melahirkan persepsi bahwa Al-Qur’an itu merupakan gudangnya ilmu. Hampir dapat dipastikan bahwa seluruh cabang ilmu pengetahuan dapat kita temukan didalam Al-Qur’an. Persepsi ini muncul berdasarkan kepada isyarat-isyarat yang dimunculkan oleh ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an yang  berkaitan dengan ilmu pengetahuan. Hal ini diperkuat oleh hasil dari karya para ilmuan yang membuktikan isyarat yang ada dalam Al-Qur’an sesuai dengan apa yang mereka hasilkan. Islam sangat menjunjung tinggi ilmu pengetahuan, bahkan wahyu pertama yang turun kepada Rasulullah adalah perintah untuk membaca. Ilmu pendidikan dalam Islam hukumnya fardhu kifayah, namun hal tersebut bukan berarti seseorang dapat menyepelekan ilmu-ilmu tersebut. Ilmu pendidikan wajib hukumnya jika itu sesuatu yang sifatnya tidak bertentangan dengan syari’at Islam. Apalagi jika niat menuntut ilmu itu sendiri untuk mencelakakan ataupun menjatuhkan pihak lain, maka menuntut ilmu tersebut menjadi tidak diperbolehkan.

COVID-19 contact tracing apps in the Netherlands and Indonesia and its privacy concerns: A comparative review
Authors: Rahma Fitrisia , Koestoer Raldi Hendro
Published: July 2024

Background: In this COVID-19 pandemic, all affected countries are making efforts to end the pandemic quickly. One of the efforts made is contact tracing. At first, contact tracing is done by officers interviewing confirmed patients and then filling in the results of the interview on an epidemiological manually in investigation form. Then, the government developed a contact tracing application to optimize this activity. However, the use of the application raises the issue of user concern over the privacy of personal data entered into the application. This article compares the use of the app and user concerns about its privacy in the Netherlands and Indonesia. Methods: We use the comparative literature review method with inclusion criteria only including studies that provide information about the use of PeduliLindungi application in Indonesia and CoronaMelder in the Netherlands, especially those that discuss privacy policy concerns in their use. Finding: Both Netherlands and Indonesia have high population densities which is a risk factor for the easy spread of COVID-19. The governments of both countries have developed contact tracing applications to enhance their efforts in handling COVID-19. People using this application are concerned about the privacy policy of personal data entered into the application. However, it doesn’t reduce the number of application users because the use of these applications is required by the government. Conclusion: The importance of contact tracing activities in disaster management is of concern to the government so that these activities run optimally. The contact tracing application developed can be easily used but has a privacy policy issue that can be re-evaluated so that security can be increased in maintaining the privacy of users' data.

Women have not been fully empowered due to patriarchal, paternalistic cultures, and narrow religious understandings. Thus, research is needed to analyze patriarchal and paternalistic cultures in empowering women in bureaucratic reform development. Methods: This research is conducted using a qualitative approach. Finding: The research results indicate that gender equality will be achieved when patriarchal and paternalistic cultures are not applied, but it is necessary to apply equilibrium theory to realize gender equality. Bureaucratic reform can be achieved if gender equality is applied by prioritizing professionalism to improve the quality of public services. Conclusion: Finally, the implementation of gender equality is a respect for women's rights in development, especially in realizing bureaucratic reform.
Perlawanan perempuan digital: Kajian semiotika sosial terhadap isu kekerasan seksual yang terbungkam di situs jejaring sosial @aliskamugemash dan @GRESAIDS
Authors: Hapsari Inez Christyastuti , Sarwono Billy K.
Published: July 2024

Background: This study examines how female victims of sexual violence use social media as a platform to express their experiences and resist silencing in the context of a patriarchal society. Methods: Utilizing a social semiotics approach that encompasses analysis at three levels: language, situational context, and cultural context, this research identifies and analyzes patterns of victim disclosure, the actors involved, and power dynamics that influence the processes of silencing and resistance. Finding: The analysis results indicate that the unequal relationship between female victims and male perpetrators affects the victims' ability to express refusal and identify the actions experienced as rape. However, through expression in ideational, interpersonal, and textual functions, female victims demonstrate resistance to silencing. Situational and cultural context analysis reveals that victim disclosure not only focuses on themes of rape and struggle against psychological pressure and intimidation from perpetrators but also on myths about rape that ignore victims' resistance and justify victims' faults. Conclusion: This study provides new insights into power dynamics in the context of sexual violence and the role of social media in facilitating resistance and recovery for female victims.

Analisis proyeksi pertumbuhan penduduk dan volume sampah DKI Jakarta terhadap dampak yang ditimbulkan
Authors: Diani Meutia Rin , Haniifah Diinii , Dianty Fatima Risha
Published: July 2024

Background: In forthcoming years, the accumulation of waste in DKI Jakarta is anticipated to escalate. This escalation is primarily attributed to population expansion, alterations in consumption patterns, and inadequate waste management practices. To foster public awareness regarding the burgeoning waste volume in Jakarta, it becomes imperative to provide projections of population and waste growth for the ensuing years. This enables individuals to gain a better comprehension of the detrimental environmental, social, and economic repercussions associated with escalating waste levels and allows for proactive measures to be undertaken. Methods: The research methodology employed in this study comprises a literature review and case study analysis, utilizing a descriptive analytical approach. The research commenced with the retrieval of population data for Jakarta spanning the period from 2017 to 2019, alongside waste volume data collected between 2015 and 2017. Subsequently, this data was utilized to analyze the projected growth and volume of waste generation from 2020 to 2029. Data sources encompassed scientific articles, journals, regulatory documents, and local government annual reports. Three distinct methods were employed in projecting population and waste volume, namely arithmetic, geometric, and exponential methods. Findings: The prognostic outcomes for the total population of DKI Jakarta in 2029, as per arithmetic, geometric, and exponential calculations, are estimated at 12,042,000; 12,170,580; and 12,183,378 individuals, respectively. Concurrently, waste generation volume for the same year is anticipated to reach 8,316.49; 8,405.29; and 8,414.13 cubic meter per day. Conclusion: It is anticipated that the population and waste volume of DKI Jakarta will persistently surge over the ensuing decade. In the absence of effective waste management practices, adverse ramifications such as a air pollution, water contamination, soil degradation, compromised sanitation standards, public health hazards, heightened potential for the social discord, tarnished tourism reputation, and escalated waste processing expenditures are likely to ensue. Nevertheless, these challenges can be mitigated through the implementation of urban waste management protocols in alignment with established procedures and concerted efforts among stakeholders to achieve optimal waste management outcomes.

The Role of Hadith Science in the Development of Islamic Law According to Ali Mustafa Yaqub and its Contribution to the Development of Islamic Law in Indonesia
Authors: Efendi Yusrizal , . Zainuddin , Hamdi Ahmad Zainul , Bahri Syamsul , . Emrizal
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this article is to elucidate Ali Mustafa Yaqub's theory of Hadith science and how it influenced the formation of Islamic law in Indonesia. It is important to highlight the contribution of Hadith science to the creation of Islamic law to dispel the misconception that Hadith experts and Fiqh experts are incompatible. While Fiqh experts are thought to possess a contextual understanding of Hadith, Hadith experts are called textual experts.  It is intriguing to look at Ali Mustafa Yaqub's attempts to solve this issue and his impact on Indonesia's Islamic legal system in this context. This study was carried out through literature research using qualitative research methods and the presentation was carried out descriptively-analytically. The research findings show that Ali Mustafa Yaqub was able to eliminate this dichotomization and prove that there is a close relationship between Hadith and Fiqh (Islamic Law) because the Imams of the Madhab are Fiqh experts as well as Hadith experts, and even have Hadith books. Ali Mustafa Yaqub's studies on Hadith and Law are written in a modern way. This claim is supported by his application of the well-established Istinbath procedure in Islamic jurisprudence. For example, his criticism of MUI Fatwa Number 5 of 2010 concerning determining the direction of the Qibla in Indonesia and the trend of Indonesian Muslims in wearing turbans in daily life shows that Ali Mustafa Yaqub is independent of the existing schools of fiqh, so the conclusions he makes do not tend to support certain groups.

Current knowledge about Rhipicephalus sanguineus in Latin America is limited, despite its importance in veterinary medicine and public health due to its ability to act as a vector for various pathogens. This paper reviews the existing information on the distribution and prevalence of this tick in canines (Canis familiaris), as well as the agents it transmits. The review is based on bibliography and studies conducted in various Latin American countries from 1998 to 2023. Several pathogens, including Ehrlichia, Babesia, and Anaplasma, were identified as being transmitted by Rhipicephalus sanguineus through different diagnostic methods such as PCR and immunofluorescence. The prevalence of the tick varies significantly between countries and is influenced by environmental factors. Accurate documentation of the distribution of this tick, as well as the pathogens it transmits, will allow for the development of more efficient monitoring and control programs. With this information, it is expected to contribute to the implementation of effective strategies for the control and management of Rhipicephalus sanguineus, minimizing its impact on health.

Tom semen dilution and liquid storage requires the identification of suitable extenders in order to expedite genetic improvement and transmission of turkey germplasm. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of two naturally made semen extenders, tris egg-yolk orange (TEYO) juice and tris coconut-water orange (TCWO) juice, to preserve semen. For the experiment, five mature toms at the age of reproduction were utilized. Each tom was ejaculated individually followed by pooling of semen. The pooled semen was added to the extender in the ratio of 1:3 (semen: extender). Experimental design was completely randomized design. Samples were immediately examined for microscopic semen quality and further kept for a period of 72h. The microscopic semen quality factors examined were acrosome integrity, viability membrane, and motility in freshly extended semen and semen stored for 72h at every 12h interval. The results showed that percentage sperm motility was significantly (p < 0.05) different among the treatments. Percentage live sperm of TEYO and TCWO extended tom semen were significantly different (p < 0.05) compared to the neat semen from 12 to 72h of storage. Significantly greater (p > 0.05) sperm membrane integrity was recorded for TCWO extended tom semen compared to TEYO extended and neat tom semen from 12 to 72h of storage. In conclusion, TCWO extender preserved tom sperm for longer period of storage compare to TEYO extender and un-extended semen, which was evident in motility and membrane integrity result.

The growing interest in nanoparticles in modern research is due to their potential uses in different fields of study. Throughout human history, individuals have been exposed to environmental nanosized particles, and over the past century, these exposures have significantly risen. Through injection, ingestion, and inhalation, nanoparticles can change the material's physicochemical characteristics and improve its ability to absorb and interact with biological tissues. Nanoparticles can penetrate the cell membrane and reach up to mitochondria and nucleus, causing gene mutation and inhibiting the mitochondrial process involved in cell metabolism. The toxicity is associated with size, shape, charge, surface area, chemical composition, and other linked factors. The in vivo behavior of these nanoparticles is still a major question that needs to be resolved. The tests are performed against the new nanoparticles during the developmental process to eliminate or ameliorate identified toxic characteristics.

Educational inclusion in the university environment is a fundamental process to ensure equal opportunities and comprehensive development, as established by the regulatory precepts, towards a quality, equitable and fair education, which guarantees access, participation and learning of students with special educational needs aligned or not to a disability. It is aimed at contributing to the Fourth Sustainable Development Goal of the 2030 Agenda. With this background, the present work determines the pedagogical strategies that favor the inclusion of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in the university environment. The methodology applied addressed a quantitative, descriptive and exploratory approach, oriented to the identification and analysis of the objects of study. For data collection, an online survey was conducted, which was randomly directed to teachers at the Quevedo State Technical University (UTEQ). Among the main results, the importance of continuous teacher training on the theoretical and practical mastery of SEN, strategies and actions to implement curricular adaptations as essential elements for effective inclusion is highlighted. International models and good practices are analyzed, and a comprehensive vision that includes inclusive policies, psychosocial support and inter-institutional collaboration is promoted.

This study evaluated the efficiency of the excise tax (ICE) on products harmful to health in Ecuador. Using a qualitative-quantitative approach, historical-logical, statistical and systemic methods were used, as well as surveys of 303 professionals from different areas. The results revealed a high level of knowledge of the ICE (90.76%) and variability in the perception of its effectiveness according to gender and age. Although challenges were identified in its implementation, such as industry resistance and public misinformation, the ICE proved to reduce the consumption of products that are harmful to health. It proposes improvements, such as awareness campaigns and tariff adjustments. The ICE in Ecuador has been effective in promoting healthier consumption habits, but has faced obstacles in its application and efficiency. The need for additional measures to optimize its effectiveness and ensure its equity was highlighted.

This article is focused on the legal and jurisprudential analysis of indigenous justice from its intercultural interpretation. For its development, the general objective has been to review this type of justice from doctrine, regulation and jurisprudence and the need for its intercultural interpretation in the judicial framework in Ecuador. In that sense, a theoretical examination of this figure is carried out, its recognition in the Constitution of the Republic is reviewed, in infra-constitutional norms such as the Organic Law of Jurisdictional Guarantees, the Organic Code of the Judicial Function and the Convention on Indigenous Peoples and Tribal Organization of the ILO, which is part of the legal system, based on the plurinational and intercultural nature of the Ecuadorian State. Likewise, a study of ruling No. 113-14-SEP-CC issued by the Constitutional Court is carried out with the purpose of identifying the aspects to be taken into account to interpret, interculturally, those cases that reach the justice bodies where has applied indigenous justice, taking into account their particularities. This will allow us to reinforce and expand knowledge on the subject and understand how this legal institution operates, an issue that is currently controversial within the academy and the jurisdictional bodies in the country.
