Published: January 2023

Patient satisfaction with the services provided in a prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) facility has rarely been studied. This study aimed to analyze patient satisfaction regarding the services provided by seven prosthetic & orthotic (P&O) facilities at PIPOS Rehabilitation Services Program (PRSP) Peshawar. One hundred fifty patients from P&O facilities who were fitted with a prosthesis, an orthosis, or another device, were asked to rate the overall services provided and whether they were satisfied with the device provided and its delivery time by answering the questions according to their experience, provided in the questionnaire. In total, 72% of the consumers were satisfied with the service provided and with the delivery time, and 28% were not satisfied because of much time consumption. The overall consumer rating of the service provided by P&O facilities is high and mainly depends on the delivery time. The outcomes on the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire were moderate. In the future, it is essential to study patient satisfaction more extensively to improve the quality of P&O services in daily practice. Additionally, specific questionnaires need to be developed to measure all prosthetic and orthotic care aspects to improve the services.

Evaluation of Language Disordered Children with Dyslexia and Teachers’ Awareness in Port Harcourt City
Authors: Osuji Genevive C. , Yul-Ifode Shirley
Published: January 2023

Dyslexia is a disorder that impacts a child negatively and, as such, should not be overlooked when it manifests in a child. As a reading and writing disorder, it always gives concern to parents whenever a child who has attained speaking and writing ages is not able to read or write as he/she ought to. Therefore, the main focus of this work is to evaluate the language disordered children with dyslexia with the view to ascertain the teachers’ levels of awareness of this disorder in Port Harcourt city. This work adopted the descriptive survey protocol, and data was got from ’THE CHILD” Special School, Kaduna street, D-line Port Harcourt. It is worthy of note from the data obtained in this investigation, that the teachers were obviously ignorant of what dyslexia means, and so it can be concluded that their levels of awareness of this disorder is very low. The low awareness of this condition makes it so difficult for both the teacher and the affected child to cope well with each other. This is more prominent when the child is enrolled in a mainstream school, because teachers in such schools lack competence in the various special ways to handle the children with the disorder.

But Park et al., (2021b) translated the Tcheonzamun poem through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character. Therefore, it is assumed that Tcheonzamun was written by ancient Korean. ‘The thousand character essay’ is composed of one thousand Chinese character (Han, 1583). It is called as ‘Tcheonzamun’ in Korea. There are three methods for the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. The first method is through the meaning of Chinese character in Tcheonzamun (Park et al., 2021a). The second method is through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character (Park et al., 2021b).

Background: Neonatal sepsis or septicemia is the term that has been used to describe the systemic response to infection in a newborn infant during the first 28 days of life. Neonatal mortality is increasingly recognized as an important global public health challenge that must be addressed if we wish to reduce child death disparities between rich and poor countries. Most of the estimated 4 million neonatal deaths per year occur in low and middle-income countries. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Method of the Study: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in the Department of Neonatology, BSMMU, Dhaka over a period of 6 months between January 2013 to June 2013. Newborns with suspected sepsis admitted to BSMMU were the study population.

The Meaning of Buddhist Statue Symbols In Borobudur, Mendut And Plaosan Temples Based on Buddhist Literature
Authors: Sentot Santacitto , Triya Tribuce Uun , Firnadi Aryanto
Published: January 2023

Borobudur, Mendut, and Plaosan   temples   are representative temples in Buddhist   temple architecture in Indonesia. These three temples were built with different backgrounds in their time but have a common function as places of worship. One of the main characteristics in the   building of this   temple is the presence of   Buddha statues with their spiritual function in the religious activities of Buddhists.  This research uses qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach. Data is processed and analyzed with several stages, namely data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the   Buddha statue is interpreted as an important main symbol in temple buildings.  This symbol is related to   the   sacred meaning of the temple and puja activities carried out by the community.  The Buddha statue is the most important symbol because it   directly represents the Buddha. These Buddha statues are found in all three temples with different names but as Buddhist symbols, have the same characteristics. All three stand out because they are in the middle and tend to be larger in size than other objects, and without a doubt that Buddha statues symbolizing Buddha itself are certainly discussed in Buddhist literature. Although in making Buddhist   statues in the three temples look different such as the sitting   position of the statues, the shape of the   mudras, and the ornaments that adorn them, there are similarities in the components of the statues based on Buddhist   literature. The similarity   of   these components is contained in one sermon (sutta) that explains the characteristics or signs of a Buddha is the   Lakkhaṇa Sutta in Dīghanikāya. It is said in the literature  that  Buddha had 32 signs of the body as  a great man
Regulations For Implementing Passive Euthanasia In The Terminal Stage Patients (End of Life) Which Is In Accordance With Justice and Legal Certainty In Indonesia
Authors: Dewi Dian Andriani Ratna , Suwarty Haryono Waty , Isretno Israhadi Evita
Published: January 2023

Euthanasia is an act of intentionally not doing something aimed at prolonging someone's life or intentionally doing something to shorten or also end the life of a patient which is carried out to hasten his death, while enabling a good death without unnecessary suffering. Thus, in practice, in a terminal condition, a doctor may or may not perform an act that may result in the death of a patient in accordance with the written request of the patient/family. This dilemmatic condition requires legal certainty in order to uphold justice and humanity as well as legal protection. The problems are 1) How is passive euthanasia applied for terminal patients? 2) How is legal certainty in the application of euthanasia in Indonesia? 3) How is the implementation of euthanasia that meets the community's sense of justice? To answer these problems, a research using normative juridical methods is needed through primary data collection in the form of empirical data from interviews and filling out questionnaires about knowledge and level of agreement on euthanasia. Secondary data in the form of research on primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. 8The results of the study show that the implementation of regulations in the Act and Ministerial Regulations that lead to the implementation of euthanasia has so far been applied, especially to terminal patients. However, the legal certainty of the act has not been clearly described because there are rules that are not in line. Euthanasia cannot be equated with ordinary homicide. To fulfill justice and humanity as well as legal protection, euthanasia regulations are needed in a harmonious positive law

Authors: Artiningrum Tati , Filiceldi Mahesa
Published: January 2023

The Badaksinga Drinking Water Processing Installation is an installation owned by Perumda Tirtawening Drinking Water, Bandung City, has 2 of these installations, the first of which is a design from Degremont - France, built around 1954 with a capacity of 1000 liters/second. The second installation is an IWACO-Dutch design with a flow rate of 800 liters/second. The raw water for the two installations comes from the Cisangkuy River and the Cikapundung River. To purify the raw water, PAC (Poly Aluminum Chloride) is used as a coagulant which is a complex inorganic compound with a clear to yellowish color. The coagulant addition process must be carried out efficiently because this coagulation process is a chemical process that requires a large amount of money for the water treatment process apart from chlorination.  Excessive addition of coagulant doses will cause the cost of using coagulant chemicals to swell so that it will have an impact on overall operational costs. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using PAC in reducing turbidity, in the form of the optimum dose of coagulant, turbidity and pH. The method used is the Jar Test which is a tool to test the ability of coagulants to determine the optimum dose in a water treatment process. From the samples, the raw water turbidity varied from 17.1 to 281 NTU, fluctuating due to geographical location and environmental conditions around each and the degree of acidity or an average pH of 7.13. After the Jar Test was carried out, the optimum dose was produced at a coagulant concentration of 30 mg/l resulting in turbidity in the range of 1.1 to 5.0 NTU and an average turbidity reduction efficiency of 94.5%, the pH of raw water, after coagulation and flocculation with the Jar Test simulation tool, there was a decrease of 4.1% to an average of 6.99. This result is in accordance with Minister of Health Regulation No 492/MENKES/PER/10/2010 April 19 2020, namely turbidity of no more than 5 NTU and a pH of 6.5 – 8.5

The Nyongkolan tradition in the study of a comparative approach is to compare one regulation with the reality that occurs in the Sukarara Central Lombok community through the Marriage Law no. 1 / 1974, so that nyongkolan marriage or traditions as traditions related to the authority in determining custom system of Sukarara village, Jongat district, Central Lombok.  The theory used by the researcher in this study is the theory of Cultural Relativism which views local wisdom as a tradition, addressing the reality of plurality and religion through understanding the traditions and culture of the community in maintaining traditions in the local wisdom of the indigenous Sukarara Central Lombok community. The suggestion used in this study, the government of West Nusa Tenggara Province should synergize with the reality that occurs in the indigenous Sukarara Central Lombok community while maintaining local wisdom of the local indigenous people
The Surviving Church: Kairos and Eschatology in Paul Tillich and Raimon Panikkar and Postpandemic Ecclesiology
Authors: Sasongko Nindyo
Published: January 2023

This research investigates the relationship between the biblical notion of kairos, eschatology, and ecclesiology amid the struggle for survival in the postpandemic life. Drawing upon Paul Tillich and Raimon Panikkar, this article sketches a postpandemic ecclesiology called “kairotic ecclesiology.” The church must understand that it exists as a community that participates in, loves, and transforms life. Because of its indissoluble relation to history and reality, a kairotic community loves and defends life. This kairotic ecclesiology is an ontological search for the church to say “Yes” to life and “No” to death. Firstly, this article sketches kairos in Tillich and Panikkar. Then, this article sketches what I call the ecclesiology of survival, an ecclesiology characterized by resilience, interrelation, and irruption. Finally, I shall draw ethical implications for postpandemic churches.

Pekerja SPBU merupakan salah satu pekerja yang memiliki resiko tinggi terpapar oleh zat-zat toksik yang terpapar pada BBM dikarenakan setiap hari mereka bekerja ditempat yang berhubungan dengan kendaraan bermotor, paparan gas yang jika terhirup masuk kedalam tubuh manusia dalam kadar yang tinggi maka dapat menghambat proses pembentukan hemoglobin. Hemoglobin adalah molekul protein pada sel darah merah yang berfungsi sebagai media transport oksigen dari paru-paru keseluruh tubuh dan membawa karbondioksida dari jaringan tubuh ke paru-paru. Bila hemoglobin berkurang tubuh akan menjadi lebih cepat letih, lesu, mengantuk, dan konsentrasi berkurang. Hemoglobin yang terlalu rendah dapat menyebabkan penyakit yang dikenal dengan Anemia.Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kadar hemoglobin pada petugas SPBU.Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode cyanmethemoglobin darah dengan menggunakan reagen Drabkins. Populasi penelitian ini adalah petugas SPBU yang ada didaerah Glugur Rimbun Kabupaten Deli Serdang dengan sample sebanyak 14. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Kesehatan Daerah Sumatra Utara. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa 21% memiliki nilai Hb dibawah normal.

Authors: Yang Xi , Chen Cong
Published: January 2023

In recent years, ultrasound-guided neuronal block had gradually become an indispensable skill for anesthesiologists in clinical work. Its visualization in operation makes the puncture more accuracy and anesthesia more effect, which effectively reduced the occurrence of related complications. However, it is not easy to master the ultrasound-guided neuronal block skill. Since the complexity of the knowledge system of ultrasound-guided nerve block, it makes the learning process cost more and learning period longer. So that the related teaching and training are facing great challenges. With the continuous innovation of teaching and training concepts and methods, a large number of teaching and training methods related to nerve block ultrasound-guided neuronal block had emerged, but there was still lacking a standardized, scientific and systematic teaching and training system in this field of medical education. Our review systematically summarized the current situation of ultrasound-guided nerve block training and reported the emergence of new forms and new methods in each link of teaching and training. We aimed to provide a sufficient and powerful reference for the reform and optimization of teaching system in this field.

Music has beneficial power physically and psychologically. Among Integrative Medicine (IM), music therapy (MT) has been useful, and authors have continued research for IM, MT, and piano-playing. Most pianists do not consider the movement of their fingers, because the memorized process is transformed into automatic action. The function may involve the neural signals from the superior parietal lobule to the primary motor area and dorsal premotor cortex, which is called the sensory-motor transformations. The supplementary motor area (SMA) in the frontal lobe seems to be involved in the function of beat-based timing, expression, and activity of musical behavior.

Objective:  This study aimed to ascertain the frequency of carpal tunnel syndrome risk factors.
Materials and Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Neurology, Nishtar Hospital Multan, Pakistan. One hundred and twenty patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) who attended the study site were enrolled. Baseline data, including age, gender, residential area, Duration of CTS, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, were obtained. The blood samples were obtained for screening for hypothyroidism.
Results:  It was observed that most of the CTS patients were males (63.3%). The observed mean age was 44.3 ± 12.1 years, and 65.8% of cases belonged to urban areas. The most common risk factor observed among the currently enrolled CTS patients was obesity (70.8%), followed by smoking (50.8%), diabetes mellitus (45%), hypertension (34.2%), and hypothyroidism (22.5%).
Conclusion:  Our study shows that the most common risk factor for CTS was obesity, followed by smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hypothyroidism.

Objective:  The most prevalent type of skeletal TB, which accounts for nearly half of all cases, affects the spinal column. Regarding pain, neurological deficit, and spinal instability, the study sought to determine the surgical outcome of spinal tuberculosis.

Material and Methods:  This study was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery, Ayub Teaching Hospital. A total of 42 patients with ages ranging from 24 – 66 years were included in the study. Information about the patient was gathered to determine indications (neurological impairments) about the ASIA Grading Scale and frequently affected areas.

Results:  Commonest location was a thoracolumbar junction in 42.8%, followed by the lumbar spine in 23.8%. The pain was found in all subjects. The main indication of surgery was neurological deficit which is seen in 57% of patients followed by spinal instability or deformity in 16.6% of patients and patients with failed chemotherapy in 4.7% of patients. The preoperative KA was between 30 – 60º with a mean of 43.06 ± 4.11 degrees and 9.45 ± 3.99 degrees for postoperative KA (p-value < 0.0001). Most fixations of the cord were done through a posterior approach that was in 83.3% of patients. The neurological improvement according to ASIA grading was seen in 95.2% and no improvement was seen in 4.7% of patients upon 3 months follow-up.

Conclusion:  Surgical treatment of the caries spine improves pain, lowers neurological compression, and successfully reverses deformities like kyphosis, resulting in better clinical results. It also helps to remove the Tuberculous burden from the body.

Objective:  To evaluate the role of the degree of midline shift on CT scans in predicting clinical outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Materials and Methods:  A prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery of a tertiary care hospital. We included 148 patients. After fulfilling the inclusion criteria, the patient’s baseline data, including the patient's age, gender, and CT scan findings with the degree of midline shift, was noted. The patients were monitored for three months to evaluate the outcome. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.0.

Results:  Our study showed that 105 (70.9%) patients showed satisfactory outcomes while 43 (29.1%) showed unsatisfactory outcomes. Patients with no midline shift were 70, out of which 55 (78.6%) showed satisfactory outcomes. Similarly, patients with 1-2 mm midline shifts showed satisfactory outcomes in 39 (69.6%) while 3-5 mm midline shifts showed 11 (50%) satisfactory outcomes. In our study, the degree of brain midline shift on CT scan was a statistically significant outcome factor (p = 0.035).

Conclusion:  Patients with TBI who had an increasing degree of midline shift on brain CT scans had considerably worse clinical outcomes.

Keywords:  Midline shift, CT scan, Glasgow Coma Score, Head Injury.
