Objective: To assess the role of the complement components (C3 and C4) in the pathogenesis and severity of bronchial asthma (BA) among Yemeni patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional, clinic-based study was conducted in Sana’a city, Yemen in the period from March to June 2012. It included 100 BA patients, where demographic and clinical data were collected using a pre-designed, structured questionnaire. Blood samples then collected by venipuncture, and sera were then separated and tested for the levels of C3 and C4 by immunoturbidimetry assay. Data were analyzed using suitable statistical tests using IBM SPSS Statistics, version
Results: Of 100 patients, 53% were males and 29% were older than 40 years. The mean age of patients was 34.7± 17.5 years (range: 6–80). The majority of patients had active asthma (81.0%) and experienced asthma for more than two years (66.0%). Dyspnea (81.0%) and cough (65.0%) were the most frequent clinical features, while edema (11.0%) was the least frequent clinical feature among asthmatic patients. The mean level of serum C3 among BA patients was elevated (127.9 ± 21.3 mg/dL) and was significantly higher among females, patients aged 40 years or older and those with active BA, but there was no statistically significant difference with respect to the duration of asthma. In contrast, the mean level of serum C4 was normal (27.6 ± 8.8 mg/dL) but was significantly higher among patients aged 40 years or older and those having asthma for more than two years. Wheezing was significantly associated with the mean level of serum C3 among BA patients. Similarly, the mean level of serum C4 was significantly higher among patients having cough.
Conclusions: The majority of Yemeni patients with BA have elevated levels of serum C3, which can be significantly higher in females, patients older than 40 years and those with active asthma. On the other hand, the levels of serum C4 are normal among the majority of Yemeni patients with BA, but these can be elevated among those with severe clinical features or long-term asthma.

Authors: Umam Khotibul 
Published: December 2020

In this article the author traces the historic development of Islamic or sharia banking in Indonesia and this will be done by analysing the evolution of a series of successive laws promulgated over time. From these laws (Law Nos. 7/1992; 10/1998 and 21/2008) we can discern, how over the years, the Indonesian government gradually accept and recognized sharia banking principles, resulting in the establishment of Sharia Banks alongside conventional Banks. These successive laws also shows the gradual process of policy changes which involves a top-down, bottom up and again a top down approach. Through this process, Sharia Banks develops in Indonesia and has been able to meet society’s need not only for a modern banking system, but also more importantly, providing banking services in line with the sharia.
PEMBUATAN AKTA/SURAT KETERANGAN WARIS OLEH NOTARIS BAGI MASYARAKAT ADAT BALI
Authors: Sudradjat Debiana Dewi 
Published: December 2020

The legal basis justifying the existence of notaries as public officials and a legal profession were Netherland-Indies laws. These colonial laws were, by virtue of Art. I Transitional Rules of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (4th Amendment), taken over and considered to be still in force. Consequently, one of the public service offered by Notary publics, i.e., issuance of letter of inheritance or written affidavit stating which family members of the deceased may by law be regarded as heir-successor, has not been made available to Balinese adat communities. This service can only be enjoyed by those individuals who submit themselves to the (colonial) Civil Code. The article explores, using a juridical empirical approach, the possibility to extent the above public notary’s service to Balinese adat (traditional) communities.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Endotracheal suctioning (ETS) is an essential procedure that involves removal of accumulated lung secretions from tracheobronchial tree through an artificial airway. It is crucial that this procedure is performed with professional competence based on updated scientific evidence and guidelines that guarantee efficiency and safety of the patient to prevent the common infection like ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP).
Objectives: To identify the level of knowledge regarding ETS among nurses and to measure the association between knowledge level and selected demographic variables.
Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional research design was adopted for this study which was conducted in Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Centre of Kaski, Nepal. The study population were all the nurses working in in-patient department of the hospital. Sample size was calculated through standard formula and probability simple random sampling technique was used to select 92 nurses. Semi- structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Collected data was entered, coded and edited into Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 16. Data was analyzed by employing both descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
Result: Only 4.3% of the total respondents had good knowledge on ETS whereas 52.2% had fair knowledge and 43.5% had poor knowledge. There was significant association between respondent’s level of knowledge on ETS and ethnicity (p=0.049) and professional qualification (p=0.028).
Conclusion: Nearly half of the nurses had poor knowledge on ETS. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade nurse’s knowledge on ETS through inservice education programs.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Maxilla and Mandible have an alveolar process that bears socket for root of teeth. When the teeth fall or gets extracted there is resorption of alveolar process. The teeth alignment determines the shape of alveolar process. The objectives of the study was to assess the distribution pattern of anatomical shape of arch projected by alveolar process in Maxilla and Mandible and to compare the anatomy of arch amongst the population of Aryan and Mongoloid communities.
Methodology: A total number of 856 people with intact anatomy of alveolar arch were included in the study. Anatomy of alveolar arches were assessed and noted for all. The brass wire was contoured according the shape of alveolar arch of patients and the shape was observed and noted down.
Result: The study result showed there was significant difference in frequency distribution of ‘U’, ’V’ and ‘Ovoid’ shape alveolar arch form in maxilla and mandible. There was significant difference in distribution of ‘U’ and ‘V’ shape alveolar arch form in maxilla and ‘U’, ‘V’ and ‘Ovoid’ shape arch form in mandible between mongoloid and Aryan communities.
Conclusion: ‘U’shape alveolar arch was seen more frequently in mandible where as “V” shape and ‘Ovoid’ shape arch in maxilla. ‘U’ shape alveolar arch was more frequently seen in Mongoloid communities and ‘V’ shape was more frequently seen in Aryan communities. There was no significant difference in comparison of frequency percentage of various types of arch form between the Male and Female.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: The comprehensive goal in forensic anthropology is the identification of skeletal remains for which researchers are constantly working to produce methods that are as accurate as possible. Because of distinct sexual dimorphism, bones of the pelvis and skull are preferred; however, when these bones are unavailable other bones like sternum have to be used as it holds a great deal of sexual dimorphism.
Objective: To evaluate sexual dimorphism in the metric parameters of the sternum through MDCT images amongst Nepalese adults.
Materials and Methods: Sternal dimensions of 105 study participants (62 male and 43 female) were measured using Computed Tomography (CT) images from Radiology Department of Dhulikhel Hospital. An independent t test was performed to assess the strength of association between different variables and genders. Differences were considered significant at P < 0.05. ROC curve analysis was done to determine the discriminating power of variables for sex determination.
Result: The different measurements of sternal lengths were significantly greater in male than females(p<0.001) except Sternal Index which was found to be higher in female (p<0.001). Despite this difference in mean, most of the sterna were in overlapping zone. The limiting point of 126 was determined for total sternum which could correctly classify majority of sternum. Using ROC curve the mesosternum and total sternum were found to be most accurate (>95%) in sex determination. Hyrtl’s law could classify 91.9% of the male and Ashley’s rule of 136 could 97.67% of the female.
Conclusion: Hence this study made an effort in sexing the sternum in Nepalese population amongst which mesosternal length and total sterna length were found to be best estimators of sex whereas manubrium length and sternal index were not found to be satisfactory.

Published: December 2020

Toplumlar incelenirken, üzerinde durulması gereken konulardan birisi ve belki de en önemlisi, din ve dinin toplumsal hayattaki yansımalarıdır. Gerek Batı dünyasın-da gerekse İslam dünyasında geleneksel yapı ile modern dönemde ortaya çıkan durum, ciddi bir kopuş ve değişimi barındırmaktadır. Söz konusu durum, din açı-sından da geçerlidir. Geleneksel olarak kendini dini kimliği ile tanımlayan birey-ler, modern dönemle birlikte farklı kimliklerle ve aidiyet duygusuyla ortaya çık-maktadır. Modernleşmenin söz konusu etkisi, dinin görünürlüğünü ve yansımala-rını da ciddi ölçüde etkilemiştir.
Türklerin gerek Müslüman oluşlarında, gerekse sonraki dönemlerde çok büyük bir yere sahip olan tarikat ve cemaatler, Osmanlı Devleti’nin sonlarından başlayarak ciddi bir krizin içerisine girdi. Cumhuriyet Türkiye’si, tarikat ve cemaatleri yasak-layarak, laik bir toplumsal yapı inşa etmeye çalıştı. Bu süreçte gizli olarak faaliyeti-ni sürdürmek zorunda kalan tarikatlar, kontrolsüz bir şekilde toplumsal hayatta etkilerini sürdürmeye devam ettiler. Özellikle 28 Şubat süreci ve 15 Temmuz darbe kalkışması sonrasında, tarikat ve cemaatler ciddi bir şekilde eleştirilerin ve sorgu-lamanın odağında yer aldılar. Uzun yıllar boyu hem toplumsal hem siyasi olarak etkinliği değişmekte olan dini gruplar, modern Türkiye’de nihai hali neredeyse eskisine zıt olan bir kimlik değişimi yaşamıştır. Eskinin içe dönük ve mistik yapıla-rı, yeni dönemde dışa açık ve aleni bir yapı halini almıştır.

Authors: Kulchytska Nadia 
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Under conditions of radical social change, a sensitive segment of the development of a modern civilized country is the social sphere, whose activities directly depend on the amount of funding, efficiency and speed of transformational change, which has an impact on the level and volume of local services. The study of experience gained abroad in the socio-economic development of municipal education as a segment of the social sphere, in the context of the budgetary mechanism for state and regional priorities is relevant in terms of organic integration of Ukraine’s economy into the European Union (EU) and rapid changes in geopolitical environment. The purpose of the study is to reveal the specifics of the functioning of the budgetary mechanism of socio-economic development of municipal education, based on lessons learned from foreign countries, and to apply them to the maximum benefit for the development of municipal education in Ukraine.Methods. During the study, methods of data collection and systematization, analysis, synthesis, grouping, comparison, generalization, as well as tabular-graphical method of budget regulation instruments in EU countries, foreign experience in forming sources of local budgets, etc. were used.Results. Under the current conditions, solving financial problems in the field of municipal education is an urgent task for Ukrainian and foreign practice of state and local government. Risky economic conditions, significant budget insecurity and low efficiency of local authorities in the management of financial resources often lead to the emergence and existence of local communities that are financially insolvent. The process of functioning of the budgetary mechanism of socio-economic development at the state and regional levels is accompanied by a number of such factors: the approved model of cooperation between state and local administrations, the current budgeting system, the level of decentralization of revenue and the distribution of responsibilities. Local taxes and fees are an important tool of the budgetary mechanism of socio-economic development of the social sphere at the regional level in foreign countries.Perspectives. Acquired foreign lessons are very useful for Ukraine due to the stimulation of socio-economic development of education in the context of decentralization in the direction of: redistribution of management functions and increase the level of responsibility in favor of local government representatives; granting local authorities and management the right to form budget funds through the regulation of local tax rates, as well as the right to distribute such funds; strengthening the level of diversification of the tax base of the regions, namely: by expanding the revenue base of local budgets.
