Authors: Jamali Ameer , Ali Waqas , Rehman Fazal Ur 
Published: July 2020

Objectives: Seizure is considered to be one of the commonest emergency involving more than half of the admissions in Pediatric Neurology wards. It has been well documented that proper management not only improves the prognosis but also decrease complications in these children. This study was planned to compare phenobarbital against sodium valproate for the treatment of status epilepticus (SE) in children. Study Design: Randomized clinical trial. Setting: Emergency Department of Pediatrics Medicine, the Baqai University and Medical College, Karachi. Period: 15th July 2018 to 31st December 2018. Material & Methods: A total of 100 children (50 in each group) with seizure lasting longer than 5 minutes, aged 6 months to 12 years, did not respond to diazepam (0.2mg/kg) within five minutes, were enroll. Randomization was done using lottery system where Group A was nominated who used sodium valproate and Group B, phenobarbital. Good response was labeled if a child’s seizure was controlled within 20 minutes of treatment. Results: Out of total of 100 children included in the present study, there were 60 (60.0%) male and 40 (40.0%) female. Mean age of the children was 5.4 years with standard deviation of 2.2 years. As far as type of seizures are concerned, there were 43 (43.0%) children presented with febrile convulsions (FC) while 57 (57.0%) with SE. Overall, positive response was noted in 69 (69.0%) children. Response in between both the groups turned out to be of statistical significance as more children, 40 (80.0%) showed positive response in Group B in comparison to 29 (58.0%) in Group A (p value = 0.017). Amongst children with positive response, the difference between both the study groups was significant in relation to seizure types as 75.9% of children with SE showed positive response with sodium valproate while 52.5% children with FC showed positive response in Group B (p value=0.018). Conclusion: Overall, both study drugs showed good positive response but phenobarbital when compared to sodium valproate is a better choice for controlling seizure in pediatric population. Sodium valproate showed greater effectiveness when used in children with SE while phenobarbital was comparatively more effective in febrile convulsion.
“Deterritorializing the Canadian Museum for Human Rights”
Authors: Muller Adam 
Published: July 2020

This article explains the value of assemblage theory to making sense of a museum like the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), which has struggled with the formidable challenge of comparatively representing human rights in controversial cultural and historical contexts. I argue that “assemblage thinking” permits us to appreciate more richly the way in which the expressive power of the CMHR arises from the dynamic interaction/intersection of overlapping clusters of objects, spaces, ideologies, memories, feelings, structures, histories, and experiences. Understood as “assemblages,” these clusters in important (but not all) ways lie beyond the scope of formal agency such as that exercised by curators and museum administrators. Accordingly, we must understand museums generally, and the CMHR particularly, as fundamentally unable guarantee the integrity and perdurability of their/its own structures and meanings, and recognize these meanings (and a museum’s identity) as irreducibly open-ended and provisional.

Associations between body mass index and breast cancer markers
Authors: Saha Ishita , Singh Poonam , Medda Sunit Kumar , Das Rabindra Nath 
Published: July 2020

Body mass index (BMI) and breast cancer biomarkers such as resistin, leptin adiponectin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) are highly associated with each other. The report has focused the inter-relationship between BMI and breast cancer biomarkers based on probabilistic modeling. It has been shown that mean BMI is positively associated with leptin (P<0.0001) and MCP-1 (P=0.0002), while it is negatively associated with adiponectin (P=0.0003), HOMA-IR (P<0.0001), and it is higher for healthy women (P=0.0116) than breast cancer women. In addition, variance of BMI is negatively associated with resistin (P=0.1450). On the other hand, mean MCP-1 is positively associated with BMI (P<0.0001). Mean resistin is positively associated with the interaction effect of BMI and leptin (BMI*Leptin) (P=0.0415), while its variance is positively associated with BMI (P=0.0942), and it is negatively associated with BMI*Adiponectin (P=0.1518). Leptin is positively associated with BMI (P<0.0001). Also adiponectin is negatively associated with BMI (P<0.0001), BMI*Leptin (P=0.1729), while it is positively associated with Age*BMI (P=0.0017) and BMI*Resistin (P=0.0615). It can be concluded that BMI and breast cancer biomarkers are strongly associated with each other. Care should be taken on BMI for breast cancer women.
Votive Dedication from the Heraion of Argos
Authors: Giovagnorio Francesca 
Published: July 2020

The stele was found in the sanctuary of Hera in Argos. It is characterised by a triangular pediment and, in the lower part, by a donative that had to fit into a rectangular depression, clearly visible in the stone. The content of the text consists of a list of four Ieromnemones, one for each tribe (which is carefully mentioned after each individual name), and of the specification of the cultic destination of the dedication, to Hera Argeia. The inscription has a primary historical importance, first of all because it is one of the oldest inscriptions from the sanctuary of Hera in Argos and, secondly, because it is one of the first texts to mention the fourth tribe of the Hyrnathioi.

Published: July 2020

<p class="abstrak">As a community banking operating in Islamic principles, Islamic rural banks are faced with two performance targets namely financial performance and social performance which are both interrelated. This study examined the impact of commercialization factors covering profitability, regulation, and competition on the social performance of Islamic rural banks. This study was quantitative research based on a survey on six units of Islamic rural banks in West Sumatera province of Indonesia from 2012 to 2018. Data collected from the publication of financial services authority and other financial documents at Islamic rural banks then analyzed with panel data regression. The findings of this research showed that profitability and competition influenced social performance. Meanwhile, there was no regulation’s impact on social performance. Regulatory factors that were initially expected to strengthen the social responsibility mission of Islamic rural banks, did not stimulate the increase of social performance. This study reveals the importance of the commercialization factor in improving the social performance of Islamic rural banks by increasing the social benefits through providing financial services for the low-income Muslim community.</p><p class="abstrak" align="left"> <em>Sebagai sebuah community banking yang beroperasi dalam prinsip-prinsip Islam, BPR Syariah dihadapkan pada dua target kinerja yaitu kinerja keuangan dan kinerja sosial yang keduanya saling terkait. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji dampak dari faktor-faktor komersialisasi yang meliputi profitabilitas, regulasi dan kompetisi terhadap kinerja sosial BPR Syariah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif berdasarkan survei pada enam unit BPR Syariah di provinsi Sumatera Barat Indonesia dari tahun 2012 hingga 2018. Data dikumpulkan dari publikasi Otoritas Jasa Keuangan dan dokumen keuangan lainnya di BPR Syariah kemudian dianalisis dengan regresi data panel. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa profitabilitas dan persaingan berpengaruh terhadap kinerja sosial, sedangkan regulasi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kinerja sosial. Faktor regulasi yang semula diharapkan memperkuat misi tanggung jawab sosial BPR syariah, ternyata tidak merangsang peningkatan kinerja sosial. Studi ini mengungkap akan pentingnya faktor komersialisasi dalam meningkatkan kinerja sosial BPR syariah dengan meningkatkan manfaat sosial melalui pemberian layanan keuangan untuk masyarakat muslim berpenghasilan rendah.</em></p><p class="abstrak"> </p>

Authors: Mamun Muhammad Ziaulhaq 
Published: July 2020

The study of the causes of the MFI clients’ drop-outs conducted through a survey on 30 dropped out clients with the help of structured questionnaire revealed that there are not too many strong reasons for dropout. The clients and their family and relatives are found quite happy with the MFI loan amount, interest rate, and peer guarantee system.
The responses show that clients disinterest to take another loan is the most important cause of dropout. Other significant causes of dropouts are linked with stringent product features, especially the loan repayment procedures, which include no need for another loan, non-negotiable installment size, short repayment intervals, limited grace period, high interest rate, personal solvency, high savings rate, and strict overdue payment policy. On the other hand the least important causes of dropouts are non-beneficial savings scheme, more expensive than traditional money lenders, family or relatives’ disapproval, inflexible loan amount to business requirements, more expensive than other MFIs, the peer guarantee system, narrow range of loan packages.
