Authors: Mikaeli Javad , Fazlollahi Narges , Khajehnasiri Alireza , Tamartash Zahra , Atef-Yekta Reza
Published: October 2023

Background: Pneumatic Balloon Dilation (PBD) as an achalasia treatment is painful procedure because of tearing the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) muscle fibres. Recently, two sedation methods including the moderate sedation and deep sedation are used for increasing the convenience of the patients and gastroenterologist.
Methods: To compare the efficacy of moderate and deep sedation in PBD in treatment of Idiopathic Achalasia (IA).
Results: We prospectively assessed 200 IA patients. The first 100 patients (group A) underwent PBD by the moderate sedation using diazepam or midazolam and meperidine injections. The patients in the group B (100 patients) received midazolam, fentanyl and propofol as a deep sedation.  The pulse rate (PR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), respiratory rate (RR), and oxygen saturation were monitored before, during and after PBD and achalasia symptom scores (ASS) were collected before and 1.5 months after treatment. The mean PR during and after procedures in the group B were significantly lower compared to the group A (p 0.001, 0.028). The patients in group B revealed less SBP and DBP after PBD versus group A (p 0.004, 0.002). The mean psi for 30 mm and 35 mm balloon dilators were significantly increased in group B compared to group (p 0.0001, 0.002).
Conclusion: We concluded that the deep sedation of achalasia patients in the PBD process can improved the efficacy of PBD and decreased the complications (transient chest pain) of the procedures. The patients with the deep sedation revealed less tachycardia and blood pressure rising and tolerated more pressure in balloon dilators.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common postoperative complaints of the patients that affects the surgical outcome, quality of life, length of hospital stay, and costs. The prevalence of nausea and vomiting is estimated at 52% and 25% within the first 24 hours after surgery. Many risk factors have been identified for PONV, including female gender, being a non-smoker, young age, general anesthesia, use of volatile anesthetics and Nitrous Oxide, and duration of anesthesia. Following receiving reports indicating an unusually high prevalence of PONV in the male orthopedic ward of Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex despite applying regional techniques, the present study was conducted to investigate its prevalence and possible reasons.
Methods: After obtaining informed consent, 300 patients admitted to male and female orthopedic wards of Imam Khomeini Hospital complex that had undergone surgery within the past 48 hours were interviewed in person and their medical records were reviewed.
Results: Of 300 patients, 61 (20.3%) had nausea and 39 (13%) had vomiting. Three patients (1%) experienced recurrence of PONV after treatment. The risk factors associated with PONV were female gender, history of motion sickness, general anesthesia with sodium thiopental, atracurium, IV lidocaine, isoflurane, neostigmine, and postoperative administration of ciprofloxacin.
Conclusion: The prevalence of PONV was lower than other studies, which was in contrast to reports received from the ward, indicating a reduction in PONV following the use of regional techniques.

Authors: Haghighat-Shoar Seyed Majid , Dori Mehrdad Mokaram , Farzaneh Azita
Published: October 2023

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), previously known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, is a situation specified by persistent regional pain. The aberrant functioning of the neurological system is believed to be the root cause of an exaggerated reactivity to pain signals that are unable to switch off the sensation of pain. It is characterized by such symptoms as swelling, alterations in the color of the skin and tissues, along with edema. Although it most commonly affects the limbs, such as the arm, leg, hand, or foot, these symptoms can manifest themselves in any part of the body. The existence or nonexistence of nerve injury is used to classify patients into one of two subgroups, I or II, when referring to this illness. Since many medical professionals are unfamiliar with the diagnosis of CRPS and its etiology is not fully elucidated, the condition is frequently incorrectly diagnosed. The treatments available for CRPS focus on alleviating symptoms, regaining organ function, and cosseting a person's quality of life, despite the fact that no cure for the condition has been identified.

We present the case of a young female patient who presented with vague complaints and was evaluated and diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism. She was optimized and taken for surgical removal of parathyroid glands. The anesthetic considerations in the perioperative period and an intraoperative event during positioning are mentioned herewith.

Sovereignty or State Responsibility? Expropriation and the Right to Regulate in International Law on Foreign Investment
Authors: Fauzul Kabir Syahrul , Farrih Izadi Fariz , Hakim Zakiran Asep
Published: October 2023

A state is entitled to be bound by investment agreements, including expropriating alien property on its territory. In international law, both represent the state’s sovereign principle within the boundaries of territorial integrity. Expropriation and the right to regulate are usually included in investment agreements as part of the substantive rules. This study uses a normative juridical approach. This approach is carried out by examining the library materials, which are secondary data; especially the principles and norms of law. While the aim of this research is to examine the legal aspects of several key concepts within the international investment law regime—the right to regulate and expropriation, both in terms of its regulation and implementation, in order to find best practices. Expropriation and the right to regulate are essentially like two sides of the same coin. This is because lawful expropriation implies state obligations (compensation), whereas unlawful expropriation implies state responsibilities (restitution or reparations). Meanwhile, the right to regulate (police powers), which is based on the concept of state sovereignty, does not. Lawful expropriation is defined as the state measures carried out with the due process of law, in a non-discriminatory manner, for the purpose of the public interest and is accompanied by the payment of compensation. In terms of expropriation, the right to regulate can be regarded as a form of lawful expropriation that does not necessitate compensation.

Dispute Settlement Between Islamic Law State and Non-Islamic Law State: An Islamic International Law Perspective
Authors: An Aqimuddin Eka , Ruhaeni Neni , Chotidjah Nurul
Published: October 2023

The Islamic Law State is one of the existing state forms in real politics. When an Islamic state interacts with a non-Islamic state, conflict is inevitable. When this happens, Islamic law stipulates that all disputes must be settled in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah. This study explores what might transpire if one of the parties in conflict refused to accept the application of Islamic law to resolve the conflict. This study aims to look at the Islamic legal principles that can be used to settle conflicts between Islamic and non-Islamic states using a normative-juridical and historical approach. According to the results of the study, a dispute with a non-Islamic state must be settled amicably through an agreement whose provisions do not violate Islamic law. If this tactic does not work, though, going on a war is acceptable as long as you do it fairly and with a defensive attitude.

Increasing Mocaf-based Businesses in West JAVA
Authors: R. Oktini Dede , Dwi Nugraha Yudha , Roosalyn Allya , Rahmi Dewi
Published: October 2023

The problem of small entrepreneurs lies in the drying of cassava chips. Incomplete drying causes the color to become black, the taste and aroma to be less than perfect. The drying technique used was sunlight, because during the rainy season the production cannot be continued with limited stock and increased number of orders, while stock is limited and orders increase. This program is directed to an apprenticeship with the aim to make oven in the future. Another problem is the need to expand. Therefore, training on making mocaf noodles was held because the market for noodles was high. The market will be wider through product/derivative diversification, which has implications for increasing people’s income and welfare. Another activity is involving participants in online marketing training. The purpose of PKM is to increase and maintain production continuity and increase profits through the creation of derivative products. The target audience were people who are already engaged in the mocaf business, small culinary entrepreneurs. The training methods involved tutorials and technical training based on Islamic values. Based on the results of the apprenticeship, small equipment can be easily made; however, the larger ones were not completed due to the shortage of funds. The manufacturing and marketing of noodles have been occupied by a number of small culinary entrepreneurs, and sold to meatball traders and consumers who were customers initially.

Entrepreneurial Profile Among Muslim Undergraduate Students
Authors: Tresna Gumelar Eka , Setyawan Susilo , Cintyawati Cici
Published: October 2023

The topic of whether entrepreneurship should be taught in formal education remains a subject of debate. However, it is widely acknowledged that entrepreneurs play a vital role in driving a nation’s economy. This research aims to investigate the profile of student entrepreneurs, specifically among Muslim students, based on their past experiences using the self-assessment framework developed by Timmons and Spinelli Jr. The research adopted a quantitative methodology, and questionnaires were distributed to respondents selected through purposive sampling. The respondents consist of Muslim students who have either taken or are currently enrolled in an entrepreneurship module. The findings of the study indicate that students prioritize capital as the most important aspect of their entrepreneur profile, while status and prestige are considered the least influential factors in their business endeavors. This suggests that students place significant importance on capital requirements, such as personal savings, bank loans, or investor funds, when developing their entrepreneur profile. This emphasis on capital is logical, as aspiring entrepreneurs aim to establish new businesses. On the other hand, the study reveals that status and prestige hold little significance for students when deciding to pursue entrepreneurship. This implies that students do not perceive a direct correlation between entrepreneurial status and their decision to become entrepreneurs. While there is no definitive profile of a successful entrepreneur or a predetermined path to entrepreneurial success, the study underscores the importance of focusing on students’ entrepreneurial profiles as a key factor for long-term success.

Published: October 2023

According to an Islamic economic perspective, the ethics of holding money for Muslims encompass acquiring money, limitations on its usage, and its distribution. The COVID-19 pandemic has indirectly impacted people’s attitudes towards holding money. This study aims to elucidate the influence of money-holding ethics on the behavior of Muslim individuals during the pandemic. The findings indicate that the variables of acquiring money and the allocation of its distribution partially affect the behavior of Muslim individuals. However, the variable of limiting the use of money does not exhibit a partial effect on variable Y. Additionally, all variables exert an influence on the behavior of individual Muslims. The coefficient of determination (R Square) in this study is 0.21, indicating that the variables of acquiring money, limiting its use, and allocating its distribution account for 21.1% of the impact on Muslim individuals’ behavior, while the remaining 78.9% is influenced by other variables.

Published: October 2023

The World Drug Report 2018, published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), states that as many as 275 million people in the world, or 5.6% of the world’s population aged 15 to 64 years, have used drugs. Based on the data obtained and the latest research, the age group most prone to drug exposure and abuse are those between 15 and 35 years old, commonly known as the millennial generation. If adolescents are a group that is susceptible to substance abuse, then promotive interventions must be provided at this age to prevent usage that often results in addiction. Meanwhile, social phenomena related to the public understanding of drug abuse or addictive behavior have changed. These changes are caused by various factors and have resulted in evolving definitions in today’s society, including among adolescents. Adolescents, as a group of people who have the developmental task of building relationships with peers, tend to accept or reject groups that are considered different, which can lead to stigmatization among teenagers. Understanding how teenagers view NAPZA/NARKOBA/substance abuse is important. The data obtained from this study consisted of 27 words, which were analyzed as emergent themes and two pairs of equivalences, serving as experimental material through a neurofeedback approach.

Assessment of Brand as Economic Value Asset
Authors: Rianto Fera Puspita
Published: October 2023

This study aims to explore how to create economic value for a brand and determine the competent authority responsible for its valuation. The assessment of economic value, especially for brands, requires special provisions and regulations regarding Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Trademark rights are valuable assets that need to be recognized as such. Technological advancements have spurred economic growth in the creative industry, leading to competition in creating valuable and useful works. A brand serves as an identity, feature, icon, and representation of a product. Its economic value and popularity increase significantly when used by individuals with a large number of followers. To protect the brand’s recognition, it must be officially registered, preventing others from easily claiming it as their own. However, currently, there is no specific government regulation governing the economic valuation of a brand. Therefore, it becomes essential for the government to play a role in regulating this aspect. Regulations concerning the economic valuation of a brand become crucial when the brand is utilized as collateral for debt, becomes subject to disputes, or is considered as an asset in the event of bankruptcy. The research adopts a normative juridical approach, examining theories, principles, and related regulations relevant to the topic. Additionally, a quantitative method is used to analyze social reality and human behavior objectively and measure them based on the existing problems in this area.

In this digital era, the rapid development of the financial industry has significantly impacted several factors, including financial technology. Fintech services have become the focus of new technology applications, and one of the impactful fintech sectors is crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is a funding model that provides individual investors or a pool of investors to business owners of various new business ventures or social and cultural projects. Based on the crowdfunding phenomenon, there are currently many investors who are interested in funding several types of businesses. However, many investors or business owners are still unfamiliar with crowdfunding schemes, resulting in a lack of confidence in the funding schemes offered. In addition, crowdfunding aligns with the principles of Islamic finance, which avoids usury and promotes the equitable distribution of welfare. This research, based on published studies and indexed by Scopus, focuses on bibliometric research to explore the conceptual development of Islamic crowdfunding.

Published: October 2023

The development of tourist attractions in Indonesia’s villages has significant implications for village dynamics. The presence of natural springs, picturesque farming landscapes, plantations, and local cultural values in Cipamekar village offer great potential for attracting both local and foreign tourists. Furthermore, the proximity of the Cisumdawu exit-toll to Cipamekar village presents an excellent opportunity to capture tourists passing through the area. However, careful planning is crucial for the development of tourist attractions in Cipamekar village. It is essential to anticipate and align development patterns with the existing structure and spatial patterns in the area for the next few years. This will ensure that the tourism development harmoniously coexists with other spatial components in a sustainable manner. The primary data collection methods include direct observation and interviews, while secondary data is obtained from maps of the structure and spatial patterns of Sumedang Regency. Based on the research, it is evident that the development of the Sirah Cai Cipelang attraction requires support from various supporting facilities such as infrastructure, homestays, commercial areas, and parking lots to enhance tourist amenities. Moreover, considering the current limitations in accessing the tourist area, the creation of a new and representative access road is necessary to facilitate the development effectively.

Published: October 2023

The issuance of the BPJS National Health Insurance Law was a government effort to enhance the welfare of citizens by making it mandatory for them to become BPJS health insurance participants, with a deadline set for January 2019. However, as of May 2022, around 13.79% (according to Worldometer) or 12.26% (according to the Home Ministry) of citizens have not yet joined, due to various factors, including issues related to the BPJS health insurance membership regulations. This paper aims to provide clarity on the construction of health insurance membership regulations as outlined in Law Number 24 of 2011 concerning the Social Security Agency connected to the National Social Security System. The research utilized a descriptive analysis with a statutory approach, along with secondary data obtained through a library study to collect data, and systematic and teleological analysis to analyze the data. The results of the study indicate that the construction of BPJS health insurance membership regulations follows the Stufen theory, which is in accordance with the hierarchy of occupying concrete norms (Hans Kelsen) or formalgezets (Hans Nawiasky).

This study aimed to develop a digital sociology module based on multicultural learning to enhance students’ learning outcomes. The research followed the Research and Development method using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The population consisted of 473 students, and the sample included 194 students and four teachers selected purposively based on their previous experience in teaching sociology with a digital module. Data were collected through questionnaires, expert validation sheets, user assessment sheets, and interviews. The results indicated that all teachers had used the digital sociology module for improving learning outcomes, but not all of them utilized enrichment materials from the government. Additionally, teachers showed interest in further developing the digital sociology module based on multicultural learning. The expert validation revealed that the digital sociology module was feasible with a very good rating. Furthermore, based on limited trials with sociology teachers and students, the prototype was deemed feasible with a very good category. A recommendation for future researchers is to maximize the learning process on a larger scale by involving a combination of schools or institutions.
