Birokrasi dan Hoax: Studi Upaya Menjaga Netralitas Aparatur Sipil Negara di Era Post-Truth
Authors: Faedlulloh Dodi , Duadji Noverman 
Published: January 2020

The relationship between bureaucracy and politics is important to discuss again after Indonesia experienced the heated atmosphere of the 2019 elections. The political situation that created polarization had shaken the neutrality of the public servants (ASN). There is an ASN who openly declares political preferences while simultaneously spreading hoaxes in the public sphere. This is because of factors other than the political temperature, also the post-truth phenomenon which also attacked Indonesia. This study was conducted to revisit the discourse on the importance of bureaucratic neutrality to maintain performance in public services and care for democracy. The writer used the desk study method by collecting data and information based on examining and analyzing secondary data. The results emphasized the importance of re-maintaining neutrality for ASN. The alternative step to maintain the ASN neutrality is collaborative supervision conducted by various elements of government and society. In addition, this study offers the importance of ASN being given critical, scientific and literacy education to stem hoaxes in a bureaucratic environment. The ASN can also actively take part in building an anti-hoax community in the bureaucratic environment so that the ASN continues to know of responding to the hoax phenomenon.

Abstrak
Relasi antara birokrasi dan politik kembali penting didiskusikan pasca Indonesia mengalami suasana pemilu 2019 yang panas. Situasi politik yang menciptakan polarisasi sempat mengguncang netralitas aparatur sipil negara (ASN). Ada oknum ASN yang secara terbuka mendeklarasikan preferensi politik sekaligus turut menyebarkan hoax di ruang publik. Hal ini disebabkan selain faktor suhu politik yang panas, juga fenomena post-truth yang turut menyerang Indonesia. Studi ini dilakukan untuk menengahkan kembali diskursus tentang pentingnya netralitas birokrasi untuk menjaga kinerja dalam pelayanan publik serta yang juga penting adalah merawat demokrasi. Dalam proses penulisan artikel ini, penulis menggunakan metode desk study, yaitu dengan mengumpulkan data dan informasi berbasiskan pada pemeriksaaan dan analisis data dan informasi yang menggunakan data sekunder yang aktual. Hasil dari studi ini menekankan tentang pentingnya kembali menjaga netralitas bagi ASN. Adapun alternatif langkah yang bisa dilakukan agar netralitas ASN tetap terjaga, yakni dengan pengawasan kolaboratif yang dilakukan pelbagai elemen dari pemerintah dan masyarakat. Selain itu, studi ini menawarkan pentingnya para ASN dibekali dan membekali diri pendidikan kritis dan ilmiah serta pendidikan literasi untuk membendung hoax di lingkungan birokrasi. Para ASN juga bisa berperan aktif dalam membangun komunitas anti-hoax di lingkungan birokrasi agar para ASN terus aware dalam merespon fenomena hoax.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
The goal of the present study is to prepare a stable, multiple-unit, extended-release dosage form containing oxycodone pellets coated with aqueous ethylcellulose (EC) dispersion, Surelease E-7-19050. The application of 18% w/w of EC leads to the similar drug release with the hydrophobic, non-swelling, matrix reference product containing 20 mg of oxycodone. Increasing the compression force to 9 kN and including more than 50% w/w of oxycodone pellets into the formulation resulted in faster drug release, indicating the damaging to the EC film coating. The physical appearance of the final formulation, assay of oxycodone, moisture content, and dissolution data over the stability period showed that the multiple-unit pellet system (MUPS) is efficient for the production of highly stable product.

Abstract
Prebiotics can play an important role in functional foods. In this paper, casein and five probiotics were selected to study the effects on ACE inhibitory peptides in fermented milk of L. bulgaricus LB6 through Plackett-Burman design, so as to improve the production of ACE inhibitory peptides. The results showed that xylooligosaccharides (XOS), fructosaccharide (FOS) and inulin had the most significant effect on the yield of ACE inhibitory peptides. Optimization added the amount of the three prebiotics added, that is, the amount of XOS added was 0.7%, the amount of FOS added was 1.1%, and the amount of inulin added was 0.7%. It provides a basis for subsequent optimization experiments.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
This study assessed the physicochemical and sensory properties of ‘probiotic’ drink from blends of milk analogues from African yam bean, soybean and coconut. Milk analogues were blended at ratios of 1:1:1, 3:1:1 and 5:1:1 (African yam bean: soybean: coconut) as samples A, B and C respectively. These samples were fermented for 24 h at 43°C using Lactobacillus delbrueckii. The results showed that the fermented milk analogue of ratio 1:1:1 was the most acceptable in terms of sensory parameters. The pH of the milk analogues ranged from 5.07 to 5.85. The sample B1 (fermented (1:1:1) African yam bean: soybean: coconut) had a crude protein of 2.38%, potassium of 80.13 mg/100g, phytate of 2.85 mg/100g and saponin was 0.19 mg/100g. The study concluded that the sample with equal ratio of African yam bean, soybean and coconut adjudged the most acceptable by tasters.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
The paper examines the SME’s in the Czech Republic from the perspective what makes them to adopt telework using the data from the research made in 2017. The research includes 1018 SME’ s. The purpose of the study was to try to find out alignment between telework and some organizational constraints. We hypothesized that employer adoption of telework would depend on the size of the firm, the duration of telework adoption, foreign owner, IT level, and on the implementation of project management. Our empirical evidence showed that telework correlated with the foreign owner participation and the duration of the adoption of telework, with the IT level and with the adoption of project management. It does not correlate with the size of the enterprise and the duration of the adoption of telework.

Abstract
Deadwood is an important component of forest ecosystems, and difference in the deadwood carbon stock depends on many variables including forest management. The aim of our study was to determine the patterns of formation of deadwood stocks in oak (Quercus robur L.) forests in the Left Bank Forest-steppe of Ukraine. As an outcome of the research, the data on deadwood parameters were obtained. The growth characteristics and coarse woody debris (CWD) characteristics were measured on intensive monitoring and inventory plots. Assessment of morphometric parameters of the CWD in oak stands was carried out by measuring diameters at top and bottom cut and length; to determine the carbon content, deadwood density was used. The distribution of deadwood by tree species, sizes and stages of decomposition was defined. The stock of dead trees (snags) in oak forest is 15.2 m3/ha and that of logs is 21.5 m3/ha. The carbon accumulation in oak forest stands in the Left Bank Forest-steppe of Ukraine was 3.4 and 4.5 t C/ha in dead trees and logs, respectively. The dynamics of deadwood stocks according to the results of repeated observations was given.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Conservation of bamboos for future exploitation as fuel, fibre and as an ingredient for cosmetics depends on knowledge of its natural genetic variation. The study of molecular genetic diversity in bamboos will provide important information for its conservation. This article reports on the genetic diversity in 25 species representing five genera of bamboos found in Indonesia using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) molecular markers. Out of 40 primers, 24 primers produced 1107 total bands and 86.21% of polymorphic bands across the 25 species. Sixteen bands were uniquely found in one species only and their presence or absence helped to define nine bamboo species. RAPD band sizes ranged from 162 to 2247 base pairs. A dendrogram based on the similarity coefficient of Dice divided the bamboo species into three big clusters. In conclusion, RAPD can capture the diversity among five different bamboo genera and has a great potential to be used in the study of genetic diversity in Indonesian bamboos.

Abstract
The seed orchards (SO) serve possibilities to collect seeds from the selected genotypes or to create artificial population throughout the controlled crossing of the target genotypes. Therefore, the seed material obtained from the clonal and seedling seed orchards offers unique opportunity to improve the genetic value of seeds. Thus, the seed orchards are considered as an important part of the forest seed base being the key object for both modern forestry and forestry research. This paper outlines the forest breeding activities associated with the seed production in the seed orchards in Ukraine over the last 70 years. During this period, the different aspects related to the establishment and management of the seed orchard were studied. In these processes, many failures had occurred, their causes and consequences were described. These main breeding activities were reported considering plain and mountain regions of Ukraine as well as specific aspects of the reproduction of the main forest tree species. As of 2019, the total area of the clonal seed orchards (CSO) reached 1040.3 ha, while seedling seed orchards (SSO) only 273.7 ha. The results of research on the growth, reproductive development, the morphology of the plus trees clones in the SO were generalized. The article on the current problems and challenges for Ukrainian forestry mainly related to forest tree breeding and there was also focus on forest seed industry. For the main forest trees species (Scots pine, English oak and other), targeted breeding programs should be developed. It is relevant to create the genetic bank of the forest seeds.

Abstract

Objectives. Our study aimed to compare to what extent the characteristics of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) differ, depending on the presence / absence of peripheral manifestations of the disease.

Materials and method. We analyzed a batch of 124 patients admitted to the rheumatology clinics of two hospitals, with ankylosing spondylitis according to the modified New York criteria. All individual patient characteristics were documented from patient observation sheets. We divided the population into two groups: the P + group representing the patients with peripheral manifestations of arthritis or enthesitis (N = 56) and the P- group representing the patients without the peripheral manifestations (N = 68). Statistical processing was performed using IBM SPSS and Microsoft Excel.

Results. In the subtype of patients P+ the mean age was 45.14 14.16 years, and in the subtype P- mean age was 43.84 years 12.58 years. Gender distribution of patients in the two subgroups shows higher frequencies for patients without peripheral manifestations P- in both genders, respectively 55.4% in males and 52.2% in females. The highest frequencies were registered at the normal BMI of 18.5-24.9 in both sublots, respectively 51.8% for the P+ patients and 45.6% for the P- patients. The degree of activity of the disease, based on the ASDAS - CRP score, within both P + and P- subgroups, revealed a majority of patients with inactive disease (≤ 1.3). Within the P+ and P- sublots, most patients had the BASDAI index in the range 0-0.9, that is 67.9% of the patients in the P+ sublot and 64.7% of those in the P- sublot, respectively. This shows that the majority of patients in both subgroups had a good therapeutic response to biological treatment, with symptoms such as pain and / or fatigue absent or very low in intensity.
There were no statistically significant differences between the two subgroups.

Conclusion. Even though there were no major paraclinical differences between the patients with pure axial ankylosing spondylitis and patients with AS with peripheral manifestations, the patients with peripheral manifestations of the disease should be approached by a multidisciplinary team.
The Story of a Stone Heart – Another Side of Cardiooncology

Published: January 2020

Abstract
A 38-year-old man was admitted to our department with moderate exertional dyspnea, fatigue and a syncope during exercise. The medical history revealed: left pulmonary sarcoma at the age of four, treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and left total pneumonectomy. At admission, laboratory tests showed high BNP (1426 pg/ml), normal calcium and parathormon levels. The transthoracic echocardiography found normal left ventricular (LV) systolic function with severe calcifications of the papillary muscles, mitral annulus, apical segments of the inferior septum and inferior wall (panel A - arrows; panel D) associated with severe mitral regurgitation (panel B). It also revealed severe tricuspid valve regurgitation, severe pulmonary hypertension (estimated to 120 mmHg, panel C) and small amount of pericardial fluid. A thoracic computed tomography described severe cardiac calcifications (panels E and F, arrow), a hypertrophic right lung herniated in left hemythorax and no other pathological findings in the remnant lung tissue. The pneumological evaluation noted a severe restrictive dysfunction. In this case, pulmonary hypertension was most probably determined by the left cardiac disorders (severe mitral regurgitation postradiotherapy, LV diastolic dysfunction due to severe myocardial and papillary muscle calcifications), most probably related to thoracic radiotherapy during childhood.
Factors of Cancer-Related Fatigue in Patients with Malignant Diseases
Authors: Strebkova-Lazarova Raisa V. 
Published: January 2020

Summary
Symptoms of fatigue and exhaustion are considered to be the most common complaints in patients with oncological diseases during and after treatment. The manifestations can be on a physical, cognitive and emotional level. At diagnosis, 40% of patients report fatigue, and this percentage increases to 90% during treatment. However, the exact determinants of fatigue are not yet known. This article is a literary review of the problem of cancer-related fatigue – mechanisms, risk factors, and the impact on the lives of those affected. Literary data on the role of subjective well-being in terms of fatigue and emotional responses of patients with oncological diseases are described. A number of contemporary studies of the combined effect of fatigue and pain on the functioning of oncology patients have been discussed. It is concluded that the symptoms of fatigue, exhaustion and pain are considered the most common complaints in patients with oncologic pathology during and after treatment, whose manifestations may be physical, cognitive and emotional. On the other hand, human health satisfaction is one of the most important predictors of life satisfaction, which contributes significantly to the overall well-being of the patients group discussed.
Home Birth in the Opinion of Obstetricians and Midwives: A Survey
Authors: Dilova Petya I. 
Published: January 2020

Summary
Many studies report benefits of planned home births by registered midwives. In the 21st century, there are still controversial views and vivid discussions. This publication presents results from a survey on the opinion of obstetricians and midwives about home birth. An individual self-administered questionnaire was distributed among 26 obstetricians and 60 midwives from 14 maternitycare units in Central Northern Bulgaria and 93 undergraduate students in their last year of midwifery education in 6 universities in Bulgaria. The study instruments were approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the Medical University – Pleven. Data analysis was performed with Microsoft Office Excel 2016 and SPSS v.21.0. Home births were supported by 26.9% of the obstetricians, 20.0% of the midwives and 66.8% of the students. According to 65.4% of the obstetricians, 23.3% of the midwives and 15.1% of the students, midwives are not qualified enough to provide homecare services at delivery. Only 11.6% midwives and 35.5% students were confident that midwives could give adequate home birth care. This lack of support for home births in all the study groups in our survey can be attributed to organizational factors within the health system, as well as to low self-confidence of midwives and mistrust on behalf of obstetricians.
Regional Variations in Stillbirth and Relation Between Extramarital Birth and Stillbirth in Bulgaria
Authors: Tsanova Dima K. , Vekov Toni Y. 
Published: January 2020

Summary
Stillbirth rate is an essential indicator of population health and is much more common than presumed. In 2014, it was 7.34‰ in Bulgaria. These trends are seen against the background of a continuous process of increasing proportion of births to unmarried women. This report aims to investigateand conduct a comparative analysis of indicators of stillbirth and extramarital births in Bulgaria for a 15-year period. The data was derived from the National Statistical Institute (NSI) and Eurostat and statistically processed with Statistical Package for Social Science version 24.0 (SPSS v.24.0). The correlation coefficient of Pearson was used to establish the relationship between stillbirth rates and extramarital births.
Despite the technological progress of contemporary medicine, the stillbirth rate in Bulgaria during the last 15 years remained almost the same – from 7.48‰ in 2000 to 7.34‰ in 2014. One of the factors that may increase the risk for stillbirth is the marital status of the mother. The proportion of extramarital stillbirths for the country was 74.70% of all stillbirths for 2014, but in several districts, this proportion was 100%. Extramarital births and stillbirth rate in Bulgaria seem to be related. There are persisting regional differences in Bulgaria. A potential explanation includes health inequalities and welfare differences.

Summary
Food allergy is an immunoglobulin E-meditated reaction, to which the organism’s immune system reacts to a food allergen, recognizing it as harmful. The study aimed to establish at what age cow’s milk protein allergy is manifested and determine the values of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and hemoglobin(Hb) in children with CMPA in Pleven region, Bulgaria. The study included 94 infants presenting with clinical manifestations of food allergy (age range 0 to 12 months) from Pleven and Pleven region, consulted in 2017 by a pediatrician at the University Hospital Consulting Center in Pleven. Venous blood was collected to determine the IgE and Hb values. Chronic iron-deficiency anemia could be the only clinical manifestation in children with CMPA. Out of all the children with CMPA, 17% had a pronounced anemic syndrome. The rest had normal Hb values. Anemic syndrome could have severe consequences for a growing child. Elevated IgE values were found in 73% of the children tested. CMPA is frequently seen in infants. Early diagnosis of clinical manifestations and diet could prevent severe complications of allergy such as chronic diarrhea, chronic urticaria, and asthma.

SummaryWe performed a retrospective evaluation of the criteria for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) and requests for computed tomography angiography (CTA) by the emergency room (ER) teams. Simultaneously, we tried to find irregularities in their work. Then we designed new behavioral protocols, and yearly we evaluated the effect on the workload of the computed tomography (CT) unit of the Roentgenology and Radiology at the University Hospital – Pleven and the total impact on the behavior of the teams in cases of suspected for PE. The data from before and after the intervention was evaluated. After the implementation of the protocols, matching the criteria of PE rule-out criteria (PERC), the number of D-dimer testing, echocardiography, and computed tomography pulmonary angiographies (CTPA) was significantly higher. We found that the number of patients urgently transported for primary thrombectomy had increased, and the reduction of PE mortality in the Emergency Unit proves the safety of our intervention. Overall, the intervention in the attitude of the ER teams has a significant positive effect on the management of patients with suspected PE.
