Pornography in The Perspective of Islamic and National Law
Authors: Hayati Ilda , Edyar Busman
Published: July 2024

This research aims to explain the perspective of Islamic and national law on pornography. This is a normative juridical research with a comparative approach which is analyzed by prescriptive analysis. The results of the research show that Islamic and national law have the same paradigm towards pornography as a despicable act which is prohibited by sharia and the constitution. There are at least two terms in Islamic law that have intersections with pornography; first, the term aurat, which is a part of the human body that should not be shown or must be covered because it can cause shame (QS.24: 58) and arouse the sexual desires of others who see it (QS.33: 59). Secondly, tabarruj, which describes a person in a dress that tends to be indecent or characterizes the appearance of a dishonorable person. Meanwhile, national law regulates this pornography in several regulations such as Law No. 44/2008 on Pornography; several articles in the Criminal Code; Law No. 32/2002 on Broadcasting; Law No. 8/1992 on Film; Law No. 40/1999 on Press; Law No. 36/1999 on Telecommunications; and Law No.11/2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions.

Published: July 2024

Plant roots have an important role in plant growth. Roots function as absorbers of water and other nutrients in the soil which are distributed to other body organs. Distribution patterns, root growth and root range influence plant growth and development. Vertisols are one of the dominant soil orders in southern Lombok, but their physical characteristics are rich in monmorillonite type clay which expands when wet and shrinks when dry. This study aims to analyze the pattern of root distribution through the root growth rate of the three chili varieties and to analyze the tolerance level of the three chili varieties. The field experiment was organized according to a Randomized Completely Block Design with three replications. The varieties of chili plants planted are Kara chilies, Dewata chilies and local chilies. Root growth rate was measured on serial plant samples observed every 20-day interval until day 60, during the growth period. The results obtained showed that the distribution patterns of the three varieties experienced an increasing trend in the rate of root growth, for the kara varieties it reached a figure of 4.65 cm, for local varieties is 5.54 cm; and in the dewata variety it is 2.67 cm. The tolerance level of chili plants to congested conditions was seen from the results of their root growth rates, the three varieties showed that they were Semi Tolerant (ST) to waterlogged environmental conditions on vertisol soils.

Published: July 2024

The deficiency of water sources and soil fertility are obstacles to   producing peanuts in dry land. One of effort to increase production on dry land is the utilization of PGPR biofertilizers. This study aimed to determine the growth of plants and root nodules of several peanut genotypes applied with PGPR, to understand the interaction between several peanut genotypes and PGPR on plant growth and root nodules, and to examine the relationship between water deficit conditions and the formation of root nodules. This experiment used a Complete Randomized Design-split split-plot design with the main plots being D0 = optimal conditions (no water deficit) and D1 = water deficit. The subplots were P0 = no PGPR and P1 = with PGPR. The sub-subplots consisted of five peanut genotypes: V1 = Hypoma-I, V2 = Domba, V3 = Talam, V4 = Bison, and V5 = G300-II. The observations showed that the addition of PGPR resulted in higher plant growth compared to those without PGPR and had more effective root nodules in nitrogen fixation compared to treatments without PGPR. The application of PGPR and genotype did not show significant interaction on plant growth and root nodules under water deficit conditions. Water deficit significantly affected all parameters of plant growth and root nodules. PGPR significantly affected the parameters of leaf number rate, nodule number, and nodule weight. Genotype significantly affected the plant height rate. The interaction of water deficit and genotype significantly affected the leaf number rate, while the interaction of water deficit and PGPR, and the interaction of PGPR and genotype did not significantly affect all observation parameters.

Aim: The purpose of this research was to contrast (heart-rate corrected QT interval) QTc, and (QT dispersion) QTd intervals in individuals with (temporal lobe epilepsy) TLE and those without TLE using a standard 12-lead electrocardiogram.

Patients & methods: This cross-sectional research was undertaken on 100 cases aged 10 to 20 diagnosed with epilepsy in accordance with 2017 ILAE criteria. The patients’ informed written permission was acquired. In our study, we included 100 cases: 50 with TLE and 50 with non-TLE verified by seizure semiology. All patients were subjected to a comprehensive history, clinical examination (heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure), and clinical evaluation, which included a comprehensive epilepsy history. On the basis of neurology service documents or the initial publication of the international classification of diseases, 9th revision (ICD9) diagnostic or 10th revision (ICD10) codes for epilepsy, diagnostic age for epilepsy was calculated.

Results: The mean QT interval in group I was 418.30±25.48 ms while that of group II was 406.20±27.63 ms, the mean QTc of group I was 513.60±61.94 ms and was 488.70±50.65 in group II. The calculated QTd was with a mean of 57.60±25.05 ms while that of group II was 43.60±31.89 ms. It means that the QT interval, QTc, and QTd values were considerably greater in the group I (temporal epilepsy) contrasted with group II (non-temporal epilepsy); (p=0.025, 0.030, and 0.016, respectively). The mean QT, QTc, and QTd values for FE were 409.20±20.80, 500.70±55.60, and 52.60±29.70 ms, respectively. QT, QTc, and QTd mean values for patients with widespread epilepsy were 412.00±25.60, 505.00±68.60, and 46.20±28.70 ms. QT, QTc, and QTd interval were insignificantly different between focal and generalized epilepsy. The longer an illness progresses, the longer the QT and QTc intervals, as there was a substantial positive correlation among illness’s course and QT interval (r=0.391, p<0.001) and QTc interval (r=0.289, p=0.011), but there was no noticeable impact on QTd due to the illness’s duration, as we found an insignificant correlation among duration of illness and QTC and QTd.

Conclusions: Our findings indicate that; QTc interval and QTd are longer in epilepsy cases more among TLE cases contrasted with non-TLE. Since there was no distinction among different epilepsy types (focal and generalized).

Published: July 2024

Slovenia is regarded as a nation which has prioritized green innovations, social responsibility, and its commitment to sustainable development. Although Slovenia’s environmental achievements have received national visibility, local awareness of its social sustainability initiatives has been limited. This study examined perspectives and satisfaction levels among residents regarding Slovenia’s social sustainability achievements and associated sustainable development goals (4, 10, and 16). Utilizing a survey, these perceptions were assessed among respondents from three distinct regions–Ljubljana, Novo Mesto, and Koper, respectively. Frequency tests indicated that quality education, ethnic integration, and effective governance/partnerships were perceived as being important to achieving social sustainability. From a Chi-square analysis, a positive correlation was revealed between educational level and knowledge of national sustainability initiatives. A Spearman’s rho test showed that age had an influence on satisfaction with ethnic integration. The study provides insights into the social sustainability perspectives of Slovene society and offers implications for future research.

Authors: Abdus-salam RA , Idowu OK , Lawal OO , Raji TA , Adeosun OA , Jayeola IA
Published: July 2024

Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a complication of dura mater puncture. PDPH poses a problem in postpartum women; hence, there is a need to identify and promptly treat it using highly effective, non-invasive techniques that can be easily implemented in low-resource settings to reduce the burden and associated morbidity.
Objective: To examine the interventions and outcomes of PDPH among women who had a subarachnoid block for obstetric indications at the University College Hospital, Ibadan.
Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted among women with a subarachnoid block for obstetric indications. A semi-structured interviewer-administered data collection form was used to assess pain at the onset of the headache and followed up to 72 hours post-treatment.
Results: This study evaluated 26 pregnant women with PDPH. Most respondents (18; 69.2%) were ≥30 years old, had a normal BMI of 11 (42.3%), and 26.9% of the women had a prior history of PDPH. Subarachnoid block was performed by a registrar in 24 (92.3%) women. The majority (22; 84.6%) had only one attempt at dural puncture, all in a sitting position with the 25G-sized spinal needle in 96.2%.

Socio-cultural Factors Affecting Reading Comprehension Levels and Demographic-based Grammatical Competence of Higher Education Students
Authors: Garil Benigno A.
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to analyze the socio-cultural factors affecting reading comprehension levels of first-year college students from Basilan State College. This study also analyzed their level of grammatical competence. Stratified random sampling was carried out to sample 464 first-year college students from the college. The mixed method allowed the gathering of quantitative and qualitative data from the participants. While the students generally demonstrated good reading comprehension skills, with an overall competent average score, noticeable individual differences suggested the need for designed support to aid their further development. Conversely, the students displayed a low level of grammatical competence, categorized as limited users, indicating a substantial area requiring educational intervention to enhance their grammatical skills. Notably, education and health sciences students had significantly higher levels of reading comprehension compared to other first-year students. most students believed that factors such as knowledge and attitude directly influenced their reading comprehension levels, with some attributing it to socio-economic status, experience, and hobbies. This study calls for the implementation of strategies that consider the demographics of the students as well as their learning characteristics where educators could effectively assist students in their academic growth and enhance their proficiency in reading and language skill.

Introduction:Â In emergency conditions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, many drugs treating SARS-CoV-2 are currently being developed through the concept of repurposing the existing drugs. This study aims to evaluate the physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicity (ADMET) profiles of 15 drugs that have been used clinically for other viral diseases, and inspect their activity as antivirals against SARS-CoV-2.Â Methods:Â The physicochemical properties were obtained by using the ChemDraw and the ADMET were predicted using pkCSM on line tools. The selected drugs based on Lipinski's Rules were docked into main protease of SARS-CoV-2 (PDB. 6LU7) using Molegro program.Â Results:Â Six drugs complied with Lipinski's Rules and showed good ADMET profile except for their hepatotoxicity, but favipiravir and oseltamivir were predicted to be non-hepatotoxic. Oseltamivir also showed high binding affinity with free energy score below -100 kcal/mol.Â Conclusions:Â Oseltamivir is a potential antivirus for COVID-19 based on physicochemical, ADMET profile, and in silico activity against protease of SARS-CoV-2.Â

Tingkat kematian pasien Covid-19 lebih tinggi pada pasien yang memiliki komorbid dibandingkan dengan pasien tanpa komorbid dikarenakan imunitas yang lebih rendah. Kondisi dan tingkat keparahan infeksi dapat terjadi akibat peningkatan ikatan virus dengan sel target yang memanfaatkan ACE-2. Disfungsi endotel vascular pada pasien Covid-19 dengan komorbid hipertensi dapat meningkatkan keparahan infeksi hingga beresiko kematian. Hal itu terjadi karena pada pasien yang menderita hipertensi dapat meningkatkan ekspresi reseptor ACE-2 akibat disfungsi pada sel endotel vascular. Parameter pemeriksaan hematologi yang dapat digunakan untuk pemeriksaan adalahÂ Nilai Rasio Limfosit/ Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR). NLR dapat digunakan untuk melihat dan memantau status inflamasi atau prediksi tingkat keparahan yang terjadi sebagai faktor resiko Covid-19. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui nilai NLR (Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio) pada pasien Covid-19 dengan komorbidÂ hipertensi. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif, dengan sampel penelitian sebanyak 50 data pasienÂ dalam kurun waktu 1 tahun (Desember 2020 - Desember 2021).Â Didapatkan hasilÂ dari 50 data pasienÂ yaituÂ sebanyak 26 pasien (52%) memiliki nilai NLR normal (<3,13) dan 24 pasien (48%) memiliki nilai NLR diatas nilai normal (>3,13), sertaÂ rata-rata nilai NLR dari 50 pasien Covid-19 dengan komorbid hipertensi adalah 4,13.

Objective: Sistem Nanoemulsi Penghantaran Obat (Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System/SNEDDS) merupakan salah satu pendekatan inovatif dalam penghantaran obat yang bertujuan meningkatkan kelarutan dan bioavailabilitas obat-obatan yang sulit larut dalam air. Bioavalabilitas merupakan kunci penting dalam penyerapan obat dari saluran pencernaan sehingga peningkatan bioavailabilitas dapat memperbaiki profil kinetika obat dalam tubuh. Review terhadap SNEDDS pada artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengulas mengenai keunggulan SNEDDS, desain formulasi dan memahami karakteristik SNEDDS yang baik sebagai sebuah bentuk sistem pengahantaran obat.

Methods: jenis metode penelitian yang digunakan pada artikel ini adalah literature review dengan cara mengumpulkan artikel dalam bentuk jurnal mengenai topik desain formulasi dan karakteristik SNEDDS.

Results: SNEDDS dibuat dengan menggabungkan berbagai minyak, surfaktan, dan co-surfaktan. Keberhasilan formulasi dari SNEDDS membutuhkan ketelitian yang besar dalam pemilihan komposisi formulasi. Studi preformulasi seperti solubilitas, efisiensi emulsifikasi harus dilakukan untuk menentukan pilihan yang tepat dalam formulasi SNEDDS.

Conclusion:
Dalam rentang tahun 2005-2020, penelitian dan pengembangan SNEDDS telah menunjukkan potensinya dalam meningkatkan kelarutan dan bioavailabilitas obat-obat yang sulit larut dalam air. Meskipun masih ada tantangan yang perlu diatasi, SNEDDS memiliki potensi yang besar dalam meningkatkan efisiensi terapi obat.
