Published: January 2024

This research aims to determine and assess the impact of zakat income and economic growth on poverty in North Sumatra from 2016 to 2020. This quantitative study uses data from 2016 to 2020 regarding zakat income, economic growth and poverty. use of statistical analysis to illustrate how income from zakat and economic growth affect poverty in North Sumatra. The research results show that the economic growth variable, zakat income, has a significant influence on poverty in North Sumatra. In the T test results, a significant value of 0.625 > 0.05 was achieved when the effect of economic growth (X1) on poverty (Y) was tested. The findings from this test are t count (0.425) t table (2.03) therefore it can be said that economic expansion has a negative impact on poverty. With a significance level of 0.533 > 0.05, the test result of the relationship between poverty (Y) and the zakat income variable (X2) is t count (0.627) > t table (2.03). In the F table test results it is 3.93 and the estimated F value is 4.383 with a 95% confidence level, significant 5% and df (n-k-1) = (60 – 2-1) = 67. This value explains why fcount > ftable = 4.383 > 3.93, so it can be concluded that economic growth (X1) and zakat income (X2) together simultaneously have no significant effect on poverty (Y). Coefficient of determination analysis was carried out to show the level of influence of the two variables. R2 approaches 1 because the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable increases.

Authors: Tulud Donnie M. , Verona Mirasol O. , Naringahon Ronel A.
Published: January 2024

Passing the licensure examination indicatesthe quality of education offered by an institution. A country requires this to its graduates to ascertain the effectiveness of jobs and employment that are vital to a country’s development. This study investigated factors affecting students’ performance in the licensure examination at one university in Mindanao, Philippines. The study employed a descriptive-survey research design utilizing Perceived Causes of Academic Failure Inventory (PCAFI) to help pinpoint factors and causes that contributed to the performance of graduates during the board examination. Results of the study showed that problems with the learning environment, specifically on “Many things to memorize,” and problems with the content examination, specifically on “Examination was very stressful,” were identified as the key factors of their performance in the licensure examination. The study recommended intervention programs and mechanisms in improving the conduct of board examination review programs in the university, which primarily address reducing test anxiety while improving test-taking skills and study strategies. It further recommended conducting studies using other designs and variables to ensure a more comprehensive understanding of results relative to students’ performance in the licensure examination.

Authors: Lubos Lalevie C. , Añasco Loraine A. , Tenorio Christine B. , Daud Yammie P.
Published: January 2024

This research investigated the imminent full devolution of services in the Philippines following the “Mandanas-Garcia Ruling” in 2018 and concretized by the E.O 138 in 2021, which augments local governments’ share in national tax revenue, bolstering their capacity and accountability. This study focused on the Southern part of the Philippines, specifically examining Local Government Units’ (LGUs) preparedness for expanded responsibilities. Employing a document analysis approach, the research evaluated the LGUs’ capacity status and delineated common and unique Capacity Development (CapDev) agendas in infrastructure, tourism, health, social welfare, and agriculture. Findings indicated that LGUs currently exhibit “low capacity,” signifying a basic capability of 20–39%, necessitating substantial interventions from national government agencies. The matrix of CapDev agendas underscored shared needs among LGUs. The study concluded by proposing indicative CapDev priorities to assist LGUs in prioritizing interventions effectively. This research contributed valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with the devolution process in the Philippines, with implications for policy and practice in local governance.

Authors: Cavalheiro Larissa Nunes , Araujo Luiz Ernani Bonesso de
Published: January 2024

O Brasil destaca-se no cenário mundial por ser o país com significativa diversidade – natural e cultural. Isto ocorre devido a sua dimensão continental e os diferentes climas, logo, diferentes biomas compõem o seu território, albergando uma multiplicidade de espécies da fauna e da flora. Além deste aspecto natural – biodiversidade – o território brasileiro é cenário multicultural formado por pessoas de diferentes povos e comunidades tradicionais. Neste sentido, a sociobiodiversidade é a sua principal caraterística, denotando rico cenário humano-ambiental, que demanda reconhecimento e proteção, pois deste cenário emergem direitos – os direitos da sociobiodiversidade –, que revelam modos de vida sustentáveis a partir da vinculação entre culturas e biodiversidade.  Para tanto, é necessária a reflexão sociojurídica de importante contexto brasileiro para o estabelecimento de um desenvolvimento comprometido com as referidas diversidades, ou seja, realmente sustentável para todos e todas ao encontro da justiça socioambiental.

Authors: Hassan Adel Ali , Saleh Amira Seleem , Mohamed Maged Salah , Khalil Moataz Salah
Published: January 2024

Background: Bupivacaine hydrochloride is widely used as the primary drug for spinal anesthesia. Objectives: This research aimed to evaluate the intrathecal administration of both isobaric and hyperbaric bupivacaine (HB) in lower abdominal surgery. Methods: A randomized, controlled, double-blind trial was conducted on 50 patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I to II, scheduled for lower abdominal surgery under spinal anesthesia. The patients were allocated randomly into two groups of similar size. Group A (control group) received 20 mg HB 0.5% intrathecally. Group B (case group) received 10 mg HB 0.5% and 10 mg isobaric bupivacaine (IB) 0.5%. Results: There was a significant decline in heart rate and mean arterial pressure in Group A compared to Group B (P < 0.05). Group A had a significantly greater sensory level at 10 and 20 minutes than Group B (P = 0.008 and 0.006, respectively). Group A had an earlier duration in reaching Bromage 3 and the first need for analgesia, compared to group B (P = 0.001 and 0.003, respectively). Conclusions: In lower abdominal surgery, the intrathecal administration of HB with IB increased hemodynamic stability and duration of both sensory and motor blockade but with slower recovery from anesthesia compared to HB alone.

Authors: Oboodi Roya , Hashemi Zahra , Jaafarzadeh Elham , Yazdani Negar , Barzegar Hamide
Published: January 2024

Background: Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the bacterial profile and antibiotic sensitivity in infants with sepsis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 neonates with sepsis admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Namazi Hospital, a tertiary-level hospital, in Shiraz, Iran, from 2020 to 2021. Demographic and clinical data including gestational age, previous diseases, maternal infectious, underlying diseases, history and duration of premature rupture of the membrane and delivery, clinical symptoms (fever, reduced breastfeeding, and lethargy), laboratory results (complete blood cell and C-reactive protein), and results of blood and urine cultures were recorded and analyzed. Results: Among 90 neonates with sepsis, the average age was 6.7 ± 7.6 days; 54 were male (60.0%), and 36 were female (40.0%). Fifty (55.5%) neonates had early sepsis. Gram-negative organisms were grown in 61% of positive blood cultures; the most common was Klebsiella. Among Gram-positive organisms, Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most common. Most organisms were sensitive to colistin, and most were resistant to cefotaxime. There was a significant relationship between the age of onset of sepsis symptoms and birth weight in infants with positive blood cultures (P = 0.004) (r = 0.3). Conclusions: Gram-negative bacteria are the most common causes of sepsis, mainly resistant to aminoglycosides and cefotaxime. Therefore, increasing awareness about the optimal use of antibiotics is necessary to curb the increase in resistance levels.

Published: January 2024

Background: Sambucus Ebulus L. (SE) is known as an anti-inflammatory herb in traditional medicine. Nasosinusal polyposis is a common type of chronic nose and paranasal sinus inflammation. It is more common in patients with asthma and aspirin-exacerbated respiratory diseases. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects of SE fruit extract on NP. Methods: The extract of SE fruit was prepared and subjected to total phenolic, anthocyanin, and flavonoid content measurement. The antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH radical scavenging method. Nasal polyp (NP) tissue samples were collected from patients. Different concentrations of the SE extract were exposed to NPT samples for 24 hours. The expression of BAX and BAD proapoptotic markers, IL-5 and GM-CSF levels, and cell apoptosis were evaluated by real-time PCR, ELISA, and TUNEL assay, respectively. Results: The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extract were 38.44 (mg GAE/g extract) and 8.62 ± 0.12 (mg QE/g extract), respectively. Moreover, the total anthocyanin content was 0.56 ± 0.01 (mg C3GE/g extract). The IC50 of SE fruit extract in the DPPH radical scavenging assay was 190.78 ± 0.55 µg/mL. Also, BAX and BAD markers and TUNEL-positive cells were observed to increase in NP tissue samples in vitro after treatment with SE fruit extract (P < 0.05). The level of GM-CSF in the treated groups was reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our results showed that SE fruit extract was a good source of phenolic compounds that can induce anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic events in NP tissues, at least partly through increasing the expression of BAD and BAX apoptotic markers and reducing GM-CSF levels. The clinical applicability of SE fruit extract in the treatment of nasal polyps should be investigated in the future.

Jacques Maritain's Philosophy of Freedom and its Contemporary Relevance
Authors: Klassen David J. ,   Canadian Jacques Maritain Association
Published: January 2024

This paper is in three parts. In the first part, I consider Maritain’s definition of freedom. He differentiates between two types of freedom: freedom of choice, which he also calls freedom from necessity, and freedom of autonomy or terminal freedom, also called freedom from constraint. The second part considers the three types of political philosophy of freedom identified by Maritain. They may respectively be called liberal individualism, statesponsored collectivism, and communal and personalist philosophy. The third political philosophy, communal and personalist, is advocated by Maritain. In the third part of this paper, I raise concerns about losses of freedom that have become more evident in the last few years during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I reflect upon how Maritain’s philosophy of freedom may apply in our contemporary situation.
Can There be Historical Truth?
Authors: Trott Elizabeth ,   Canadian Jacques Maritain Association
Published: January 2024

This paper considers several philosophers’ efforts to explain the metaphysical orientations of historical narratives, ones which expose the lack of common ground in modes of establishing truth and documenting change. Although philosophers have been writing about history since before Plato’s time, this brief inquiry is primarily restricted to Hegel, Maritain, R. G. Collingwood, and W. H. Walsh. The relation between history and the concept of civilization reveals a major complication for establishing historical truth – the fact of multiple meanings for the concept of civilization.

Authors: Kartika Hera Anis , Purwanto Andik , Risdianto Eko
Published: January 2024

This study aims to examine what educators and learners require in order to create augmented reality-based educational materials for high school students. Descriptive research is one of the study methods used in research and development (RND). The data collection used is by conducting literature studies, observations, interviews and filling out questionnaires. This research instrument consists of observation sheets, interview sheets, and questionnaire sheets. Both quantitative and qualitative data analysis were the methods employed for the data analysis. The findings of the analysis of student needs questionnaires showed that, on average, 69% of the category agreed to the development of augmented reality-based learning media. These findings are based on observations made during teacher interviews, which indicate that the learning media used are still conventional and cause students to struggle with understanding learning materials. Thus, it follows that the utilization of learning materials based on augmented reality is required as a supporting medium in the educational process.

Bacterial infections remain a critical public health concern worldwide, necessitating the development of efficient and sensitive diagnostic tools. Nanobiosensors, comprising nanomaterials, offer a novel approach to bacterial pathogen detection. The present review aimed to explore the current research and applications of nanobiosensors for bacterial pathogen detection. Recent discoveries in nanotechnology have facilitated the development of nanobiosensors with remarkable sensitivity and specificity. These nanoscale sensors are designed to detect specific bacterial pathogens through various mechanisms, including aptamers, antibodies, and molecular recognition elements. Furthermore, miniaturization and integration with microfluidic systems have enabled the rapid and point-of-care detection of bacterial infections. Incorporating nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, and graphene into biosensing platforms has significantly enhanced their performance, leading to ultrasensitive detection of bacterial antigens and nucleic acids. Additionally, using nanobiosensors with advanced analytical techniques, such as electrochemical, optical, and piezoelectric methods, has expanded the possibilities for accurate and real-time monitoring of bacterial pathogens. Nanobiosensors represent a promising frontier in the battle against bacterial infections. Their exceptional sensitivity, rapid response times, and potential for multiplexed detection make them invaluable tools for the early diagnosis and monitoring of bacterial pathogens. Developing cost-effective and portable nanobiosensors for resource-limited settings becomes increasingly possible as nanotechnology advances.

Nowadays, 24.5% of the European population is still at risk of poverty and can be considered as citizens risking social exclusion. A low level of proficiency in literacy skills is indicated as one of the important reasons for social exclusion. It is argued that literacy programs for vulnerable adults act as a lever for the improvement of literacy and, in turn, for enhancing participants' social inclusion, health, as well as labour market position. However, to date, evidence of the impact of these programs is scarce. This study aims to fill this gap by measuring the outcomes of the Dutch program 'Language for Life' ('Taal voor het Leven'). The findings indicate that after five months, for many social inclusion indicators, more than half of the participants' group showed an increase. Improvement in physical and psychological health and labour market position is less prominent than improvement in the social inclusion indicators. This study does not only support the importance of a policy in literacy (on the national or regional level) aiming at increasing social inclusion by offering possibilities to improve language proficiency. Moreover, it aims to contribute to the investment in research aiming to monitor the outcomes of language programs.

This review summarizes the available literature on the non-formal education of sports coaches. Considering the complexity of the sports coaches' job, it is recognized that formal education alone is not sufficient, and non-formal education within this field may need to be mandatory. Earlier studies suggested that motivation and personality could be crucial predictors of the willingness to continuously learn. The most promising motivational theory in the context of education is the self-determination theory, which emphasizes that even controlled, external motivation could be internalized. Furthermore, some personality traits (e.g., curiosity, conscientiousness) are associated with non-formal education and should, therefore, be fostered even in those individuals who did not autonomously decide to enroll in a program. This review also identified a clear lack of studies investigating the motivational and personality determinants of non-formal education in sports coaches, and future studies should aim to fill this gap.

Music plays a significant developmental role in the life of adolescents and has different functions in the life of an individual. Listening to music is one of the most important activities of adolescents, while their music preferences reflect their values, conflicts, and developmental problems they are faced with in everyday life. It is important to understand how adolescents use and experience music on a daily basis and what factors impact their use of music. The power of preference for a specific kind of music depends on the degree to which that type of music fulfills certain functions because the level of functionality and the power of music preference are correlated. While identity formation, peer socialization, and social perception remain important functions of music throughout one's life, they are especially important in the period of adolescence. To understand better the strong links between music preferences and the functions of music in an individual's life, it is important to include the personality factor that provides practical and relevant information about what makes us who we are. Music education can influence the music preferences of young people because listening to music is an important activity in their leisure time. The paper presents theoretical models of music preferences, characteristics of music, contexts of listening to music, correlation between music preferences and personality traits, as well as the functions of music that are most relevant in the life of adolescents.
Diverticulosis: Knowledge and challenges

Diverticulosis of the colon is a disease that was mentioned as far back as the 19th century, although it had no clinical significance at the time. The exact incidence of this disease is not known, but it is known that in the last 75 years it has occurred much more often. It is assumed that the more frequent occurrence of the disease is practically a reflection of better and more accessible diagnostic modalities, but also of lifestyle changes. Improper diet is one of the public health problems of the 21st century. A significant part of the global population eats unhealthy food and does not consume adequate amounts of fruits, vegetables, and fiber-rich foods in their daily diet. If we also add a sedentary lifestyle to the inadequate diet, the higher incidence of diverticulosis today is very much justified. Also, numerous studies have shown that relevant risk factors are smoking and frequent consumption of alcoholic drinks. Diet, medications, smoking, alcohol and stress are the most common risk factors that can lead to sac-like enlargements on the hollow organs, though predominantly on the large intestine. Due to the histological structure, diverticulum is most often expected to appear on the sigmoid colon. The appearance of one or more diverticulum along the colon or only one of its segments is called colonic diverticulosis. There is nothing in colonic diverticulosis that is pathognomonic for this disease, no particular signs and symptoms that would lead us, in clinical practice, to make the correct diagnosis without performing additional diagnostic assays. Establishing the correct diagnosis requires that we are familiar with the disease, that we ponder over it, that we know the broad spectrum of symptomatology, and that we know diagnostic procedures that can benefit the patient. Upon establishing the correct diagnosis, it is important to determine the clinical course, but also the form of the disease, so that we can determine an adequate treatment approach. In addition to changing the dietary habits, educating the patient about healthy lifestyles, it would be valuable to know which patient will benefit from the treatment with antibiotics, and which patient will require prompt surgical intervention
