Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity most commonly result from poor diet and lack of physical activity. Lifestyle measures for risk factor modification and cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention include exercise and dietary changes but most people are not successful at initiating and/or maintaining meaningful changes. We propose that such changes can be initiated using a short-term, intensive “immersion” support approach.
METHODS: Moderate to high atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) risk individuals completed a 1-week, lifestyle-based immersion program, including daily nutrition education, 100% plant-based food consumption, exercise, and stress management classes. Beginning and end anthropomorphic measurements such as blood pressure and lipid measurements were collected. A dietary survey (14-point Mediterranean diet survey), functional capacity survey (Duke Activity Status Index [DASI] survey), and quality of life (QOL) survey (Sf-36), were administered on Day 0 and 3 months post-immersion.
RESULTS: Eighty participants completed the program; 64% women, mean age 47 years (range 21-71), mean weight 88.43 kg (range 45.4-131.3 kg) and mean body mass index (BMI) 30.47 kg/m2 (range 18.6-44.8 kg/m2). Of the participants, 71% had hypertension (HtN), 39% had HbA1c ≥ 5.7%, 35% were former smokers, and 7.5% were active smokers. Average ASCVD risk was 6.84% (range 0.3-39%). After 1 week of the immersion program, BMI decreased on average 0.5 ± 0.38 kg/m2, weight decreased on average 11.49±1.19 kg (both p<0.001). Systolic blood pressures (SBP) decreased on average 6.76±15.17 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased on average 5.00±9.82 mmHg (both p<0.001). total cholesterol decreased on average 20.40 ± 15.44 mg/dL, triglycerides decreased on average 31.78 ± 44.06 mg/dL, LDL decreased on average 11.71 ± 15.92 mg/dL (all p < 0.001). High-density lipoprotein (HDL) also decreased on average 3.13 ± 5.83 mg/dL (p < 0.001). Sixty participants with diagnosed HtN or prescribed antihypertensive medications saw decreases in both SBP and DBP. In the majority of participants, improvements in functional capacity, QOL, and dietary compliance were noted.
CONCLUSIONS: Short-term, intensive lifestyle intervention is feasible, can lead to immediate improvements in risk profiles, and, importantly, can have longer-lasting effects on exercise capacity, dietary compliance, and QOL.

Published: March 2021

The phenomenon of early age marriage has occurred in many places over the world including in Indonesia. What is more, the maternal mortality rate and other risks of health reproductive had been also increased. Numerous of argumentations that the pregnancy at a young age will create a higher chance of females having a bunch of children and a higher risk of death of the mother and child. Likewise, analyzing important issues regarding marriage at a young age is very important to provide a deep scientific understanding. Through a qualitative approach, this study aims to explore the conceptual issues about health communication which involves reproductive health, negotiation, early-age marriage, and family communication. Health communication is the role of communication to disseminate health information in the form of communication with patients, family, and community. Reproductive health is about all matters related to a reproductive system including its functions and processes. Negotiation concerns the interactive process done to reach an agreement that involves two or more people who have different perspectives and willing to reach the same resolution together. The early-age marriage is a formal or non-formal marriage done below 18 years of age. Family communication is a communication activity done in a family in which a process of exchanging meaning includes delivering emotion among its members.
Analysis of Feminist Principels in The Da’wah Agenda of Gender Equality
Authors: Nasution Karimuddin , Mohd Saad Mohd Faizulamri 
Published: March 2021

One of the da’wah that is quite intense this time in the media is the da'wah feminist group for gender equality. The main mission of Muslim feminists is to equalize men and women in all matters. To fulfill this mission, they always lay down the basic principles of gender equality taken from the Koran and the hadith, then they will interpret textually. Only after that was reached did they interpret the Koran and the Hadith in accordance with their wishes. If it contradicts the verses that place men and women differently they will usually deny it on the grounds that it conflicts with the principle of gender equality. This study aims to analyze the principles of gender equality in the gender equality da’wah agenda. Methodology of this study was qualitative using document analysis. Data collection was done through library research. The data were analyzed using descriptive, comparative and critique. The findings showed that the feminists made Qur’anic verses as the principles of gender equality. The principles are men and women alike servants, men and women alike caliphs, men and women alike accept the covenant when they are in the womb, Adam and Eve are both engaged in transgression in heaven until had been sent to the earth, men and women equally have potential in every aspect of life. The Qur’anic verses that are made as the basis of the principles of gender equality seem to be over-implemented. The tafsir scholars do not explain the verses in the context of male and female relationships. The implication of this study is that Muslims are encouraged to refer to the interpretation of the authority scholars who have been recognized by the Muslim’s world, therefore is no mistakes in understanding the verses of the Qur’an. It is also expected to give a real understanding of the relationship between men and women in the Qur’an
The Relation Between Ejection Mechanism and Ion Abundance in the Electric Double Layer of Drops
Authors: Kwan Victor , O'Dwyer Ryan , Laur David , Tan Jiahua , Consta Styliani 
Published: March 2021

Charged droplets have been associated with distinct chemical reactivity. It is assumed that the composition of the surface layer plays a critical role in enhancing the reaction rates in the droplets relative to their bulk counterparts. We use atomistic modeling to relate the localization of the ions in the surface layer to their ejection propensity. We find thatthe ion ejection takes place via a two-stage process. Firstly, a conical protrusion emerges as a result of a global droplet deformation that is insensitive to the locations of single ions. The ions are subsequently ejected as they enter the conical regions. The study provides mechanistic insight into the ion-evaporation mechanism, which can be used to revise the commonly used ion-evaporation models. We argue that atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of minute nano-drops, do not sufficiently distinguish the ion-evaporation mechanism from a Rayleigh fission. We explain mass spectrometry data on the charge state of small globular proteins and the existence of super-charged droplet states (above the Rayleigh limit) that have been detected in experiments.

Authors: Suprapto Suprapto 
Published: March 2021

Pembelajaran matematika hendaknya dimulai dengan pengenalan masalah yang sesuai dengan situasi mengajar dan sekaligus melibatkan peran aktif siswa dalam proses pembelajaran. pembelajaran harus interaktif, inspiratif, menyenangkan dan memotivasi siswa untuk berpartisipasi serta memberikan ruang yang cukup bagi kreatifitas dan kemandirian sesuai dengan bakat dan minat. Berdasarkan hasil observasi beberapa tahun terakhir ini menunjukkan bahwa di SD Negeri 2 Surodakan perolehan nilai matematika siswa kelas IV masih di bawah standar KKM. Adapun nilai KKM yang ditetapkan di SD ini adalah 70. Hal ini di sebabkan : banyak siswa menganggap bahwa matematika merupakan pelajaran yang sulit dan menakutkan sehingga berakibat hasil belajar matematika siswa masih rendah. Salah satu cara untuk menarik minat siswa adalah dengan memilih suatu metode yang digunakan harus efektif, efisien dan menyenangkan. Metode yang dimaksud adalah pembelajaran aktif metode Giving Questions and Getting Answer yang merupakan salah satu metode meninjau ulang (reviewing strategies), yang secara bahasa berarti memberi pertanyaan dan menerima jawaban.

The Use of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) to Enable Transparency, Accountability, and Participation in Indonesia
Authors: Reza Agustina Asmiar , Rachmawati Tutik 
Published: March 2021

This research aims at understanding how ICT as panopticon vision enable transparency, accountability, and Participation in Indonesia. The betterment of these three aspects is believed to be beneficial for the government in fighting corruption. In the transparency aspect, this research has eight indicators which are constructed from studies by Bhatmagar, Davies & Fumega, Park & Florida, Grimmelikhuijsen, Keuffer & Mabillard: (1) the availability of laws and regulations, (2) the availability of government budget allocations and spending, (3) the availability of performance reports, (4) open government processes, (5) identification of elected officials and civil servants under investigation for corruption and fraudulent activities, (6) disclosure of assets and investments of public officials, (7) provision of e-procurement, and (8) using file formats. In the accountability aspect, four indicators from studies of Lee & Kwak and Davies & Fumega are used. They are (1) the availability of social media presence, (2) using mainstream social media for interactive, on-going conversations, storytelling, and communications, (3) the availability of a platform for questions and answers, and (4) the availability of information about feedback from the public. Finally, for the aspect of Participation, three indicators by Lee & Kwak are employed. Those are (1) voting and polling for a decision-making process or a public organization assessment, (2) feedback and ideation platform, and (3) crowdsourcing to report corruption or grievances. This research uses a qualitative research approach. It is benefiting from the use of secondary data as a form of the big data source. Hence, this research is an initial attempt to exploit the availability of big data as a valid data source. To ensure the secondary data sources’ validity, the researchers employed a triangulation process of backgrounds and reference checking. The data analysis in this research is based on 2 ICT based initiatives; Government websites and apps. It is evident from this research finding that, first, there are 35 ICT based initiatives, 31 websites, and four apps. From these numbers, there are only18 websites and four apps that are available. Second, in general, those websites and apps do enable transparency, accountability, and Participation. Another important highlight of the finding is that three unidentified websites and ten websites are unsuccessful in promoting those three aspects. However, most of the websites and apps had turned out a success. In the meanwhile, ICT as panopticon vision also results in new corruption opportunities. This study highlights three examples of new corruption opportunities. It is recommended that Indonesia continue to work on those ten unavailable websites and, more importantly, be cautious and aware of the new corruption modes. Only by doing those, the role of ICT to fight corruption can be more strengthened.

Authors: Regmi Deepak , Rajak Ashik , Mahato Nain Bahadur 
Published: March 2021

Background: Situation of incus erosion is common while performing tympanoplasties for cases of chronic otitis media. As none of the available techniques is said to be gold standard, a cost effective and easily available partial ossicular replacement prosthesis is employed and the postoperative hearing outcome is presented.
Objectives: To assess the hearing results of ossiculoplasty using partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP) during tympanoplasty.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary referral hospital of Nepal from June 2018 to September 2019. Thirty consecutive patients who underwent tympanoplasty for chronic otitis media (inactive/mucosal) with incudostapedial discontinuity were operated using polytetrafluroethylene partial ossicular replacement prosthesis without removing the incus. Pure tone averages, air-bone gap (ABG) and air conduction gain were calculated pre and post-operatively.
Results: There was no extrusion of prosthesis. The post-operative air-bone gap less than 20 dB was achieved in 23 (77%) cases. All the patients had post-operative air-bone gap of ≤25 dB. There were no major complications.
Conclusion: Polytetrafluroethylene partial ossicular replacement prosthesis is safe, reliable and efficient alternative for ossiculoplasty when the incus is found to have eroded during tympanoplasty surgery.
