Published: September 2021

Penciptaan lapangan kerja untuk mengatasi penganguran dan kemiskinan seharusnya menjadi tanggung jawab sosial semua pihak, bukan hanya pemerintah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk; (1) memetakan potensi sumber daya sosial ekonomi yang dimiliki oleh kelompok usia musa pada masyarakat pesisir di Kota Makassar; (2) memetakan minat kelompok usia muda pada masyarakat pesisir di Kota Makassar dalam penciptaan lapangan kerja; dan (3) menganalisis strategi pemberdayaan pencari kerja usia muda berbasis minat dan sumber daya sosial ekonomi pada masyarakat pesisir di Kota Makassar. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam peneltian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif jenis studi kasus. Hal ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh data kualitatif yang lebih mendalam melalui teknik wawancara mendalam.Hasil penelitian pencari kerja usia muda telah memahami sebagaian potensi sosial ekonomi yang berada pada daerah mereka. Namun, belum memahami secara menyeluruh potensi sosial yang ada sehingga potensi tersebut tidak belum bisa menjadi “modal sosial” yang dapat ditransformasi menjadi sumber daya ekonomi.Paradigma pencari kerja usia muda masih paradigma lama, yaitu; paradigma “pekerja” bukan paradigma pemilik usaha. Pelibatan keluarga merupakan indikator pelibatan elemen sosial lainnya, seperti; tokoh masyarakat, tokoh agama dan pengusaha, yang dapat memotovasi pencari kerja usia muda untuk memiliki usaha sendiri atau sebagi “pengusaha” dan bukan sebagai “pekerja”.Sejalan dengan hal tersebut maka strategi pemberdayaan pencari kerja usia muda adalah melakukan peningkatan kapasitas pencari kerja usia muda melalui workshop; pemetaan sosial, penguatan kapasitas perubahan paradigma “wirausaha”; dan workhsop penguatan keterampilan produksi, pengemasan dan pemasaran produksi.

The research used qualitative methods with a descriptive type to describe a case study that happened in Sailong Village. Data sampling used a purposive sampling technique, while data collection included in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation.
Based on the results of this study, labeling the status of young widows that occurs is not necessarily interpreted as having a negative (bad) connotation. A bad “label” does not indicate that the woman cannot prove that the label is wrong and is only a stereotype, stigma, and prejudice that does not apply to every individual. Therefore, the way to overcome it is by maintaining attitudes and behavior to always be good in the broader community. Furthermore, sometimes the community defines the status of widows in general based on what they saw or encountered based on experience. When seeing or meeting a widow who is not good, the definition becomes bad.

ABSTRAK
Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan tipe deskriptif untuk menggambarkan studi kasus yang terjadi di Desa Sailong tersebut. Adapun teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara mendalam, observasi langsung dan dokumentasi.
Hasil penelitian ini, pelabelan yang terjadi terhadap status janda muda, sebenarnya belum tentu diartikan sebagai perempuan berkonotasi negatif (buruk). Berkaitan mengenai “Label” yang buruk bukan berarti perempuan tersebut tidak mampu membuktikan bahwa label tersebut adalah salah dan hanya sebuah stereotype, stigma dan Prejudice yang tidak berlaku untuk semua orang. Sehingga untuk mengatasinya dengan menjaga sikap dan perilaku untuk senantiasa bersikap baik di masyarakat luas sedangkan masyarakat kadang dalam mendefinisikan status janda secara umum seperti yang pernah mereka lihat atau temui berdasarkan pengalaman. Ketika melihat atau menemui seorang janda yang bersikap tidak baik, maka pendefisiniannya buruk.

Published: September 2021

Sonneratia apetala (S. apetala) (Lythraceae) has been investigated for the isolation and characterization of antimicrobial compounds and evaluation of their biological activities. The chloroform extract of the stem bark and different partitionate of the chloroform extracts i.e. Petroleum ether soluble fraction (PESF), Ethyl acetate soluble fraction(EASF), Methanol soluble fraction(MSF) and aqueous soluble fractions (ASF) were subjected to different chromatographic techniques to isolate secondary metabolites. Successive chromatographic separation and purification yielded a total of two compounds identified and characterized as Taraxerone(1) and 5,8-dihydroxy- 6-methoxy-4,9-dioxo-1,3,4,9-tetrahydronaphthol[2,3-c]furan-1-yl acetate (2) by extensive proton NMR spectrum (1H-NMRspectrum) analysis. The different partitionate like PESF, EASF, MESF and ASF were subjected to screen their antimicrobial properties against some selected Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and fungi, brine shrimp lethality and antioxidant activities. The maximum zone of inhibition of chloroform extract was found against Pseudomonas sp. (16mm). All fractions showed more activity against Gram negative bacteria then Gram positive bacteria. In the brine shrimp lethality bioassay, among all extracts, the petroleum ether and ethyl acetate soluble fraction showed significant lethality having the LC50 value of 7.72 μg/ml. The antioxidant activity was evaluated in terms of determination of free radical scavenging activity (DPPH assay). Among all the extracts of S. apetala the highest free radical scavenging activity showed by (Methanol soluble fraction) MESF with IC50 value 18.0 μg/ml.

Published: September 2021

Fourteen multi drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from surgical site infection were analyzed for their antibiotic sensitivity and the presence of nine virulence genes. The isolates showed a high resistance pattern, all being resistant to methicillin, oxacillin, azithromycin, ceftazidime and amoxyclav. Seven of the isolates were sensitive to linezolid; three were sensitive to trimethoprim: sulfamethoxazol and another three were sensitive to ciprofloxacin. Ceftriaxone, gentamicin and amikacin were the drugs of choice as nine (64.3%) isolates were sensitive to ceftriaxone, eleven (78.6%) were sensitive to gentamicin and another eleven (78.6%) to amikacin. The present study focused to identify nine important virulence genes including intrinsic methicillin resistance gene mecA, methicillin resistance assisting gene femA, toxic shock syndrome toxin gene tst, exfoliative toxin A and B genes, eta and etb, Panton Valentine leukocidin gene LukS/F-PVL, along with three enterotoxin genes sec, sed and see. According to the presence of mecA gene and antibiotic resistance profile, two isolates were identified as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. However, another isolate, despite harbouring both mecA and femA genes, was sensitive to ceftriaxone which excluded it from being considered as an MRSA. Thus, the ratio of MRSA can be considered to be quite high (2/14) among the strains. Interestingly, most of the isolates (10/14) harboured femA gene, the majority of which were mecA negative with an MSSA type antibiotic profile. Although considered as a marker for community acquired MRSA, LukS/F-PV was found in half of these nosocomial isolates. Five, four and two of the isolates harboured etb, tst and sec gene, respectively. However, all the isolates were negative for eta, sed and see genes. Two isolates showed the co-existance of “femA, LukS/F-PV, etb, and tst” genes. Another two virulence gene patterns observed were “femA, mecA, tst, sec” and “femA, LukS/F-PV, etb”. The presence of several virulence genes can be correlated to the highly pathogenic nature of the isolates.

Published: September 2021

Bangladesh has achieved rapid industrialization in recent years. However, many of these industries lack proper effluent treatment plant and discharge untreated effluent laden with different heavy metals into the major rives that surround these industries, affecting the environment as well as human and animal health. Aiming to develop a sustainable effluent treatment plant, a heavy metal tolerant Bacillus pumillus isolated from polluted river water of Bangladesh was studied for its chromium bioremediation potential. Reduction of hexavalent chromium using the Sdiphenylcarbazide (DPC) method showed that whole cells of the Bacillus pumillus reduced 89.5%, 75%, 73% and 45% of 1.0, 2.5, 5 and 10mg/L Cr(VI) to Cr(III), respectively. This bacterium reduced 100% of 20mg/L Cr(VI) to Cr(III) within 8 hours, in a growth associated pattern. A 20kb plasmid was detected in this Bacillus pumillus, and loss of this plasmid did not cause complete impairment of chromium tolerance capacity, though the tolerance efficiency was reduced. The Bacillus pumillus studied in the current study therefore shows its potential to develop a sustainable chromium bioremediation method.

Published: September 2021

Volumetric N2 adsorption at −196°C is generally accepted as “gold standard” for estimating the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area of nanocellulose. It is unclear however, whether the BET surface area of nanocellulose obtained at such low temperatures and pressures is meaningful at an absolute sense, as nanocellulose is used at ambient temperature and pressure. In this work, a systematic evaluation of the BET surface area of nanocellulose using highly crystalline bacterial cellulose (BC) as model nanocellulose was undertaken to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the limitations of BET method for nanocellulose. BET surface area obtained using volumetric N2 adsorption at −196°C was compared with the BET surface area acquired from gravimetric experiments based on n-octane adsorption using dynamic vapour sorption (DVS) and n-octane adsorption determined by inverse gas chromatography (iGC), both at 25°C. It was found that the BET surface area calculated from volumetric N2 adsorption data was 25% lower than that of n-octane adsorption at 25°C obtained using DVS and iGC adsorption methods. These results supported the hypothesis that the BET surface area of nanocellulose is both a molecular scale (N2vs n-octane, molecular cross section of 0.162 nm2vs 0.646 nm2) and temperature (−196°C vs 25°C) dependent property. This study also demonstrates the importance of selecting appropriate BET pressure range based on established criteria and would suggest that room temperature measurement is more relevant for many nanocellulose applications.

Published: September 2021

Aims: We describe a new aortic arch dissection (AcD) classification, which we have called the Fuwai classification. We then compare the clinical characteristics and long-term prognoses of different classifications.Methods: All AcD patients who underwent surgical procedures at Fuwai Hospital from 2010 to 2015 were included in the study. AcD procedures are divided into three types: Fuwai type Cp, Ct, and Cd. Type Cp is defined as the innominate artery or combined with the left carotid artery involved. Type Cd is defined as the left subclavian artery or combined with the left carotid artery involved. All other AcD surgeries are defined as type Ct. The Chi-square test was adopted for the pairwise comparison among the three types. Kaplan-Meier was used for the analysis of long-term survival and survival free of reoperation.Results: In total, 1,063 AcD patients were enrolled from 2010 to 2015: 54 patients were type Cp, 832 were type Ct, and 177 were type Cd. The highest operation proportion of Cp, Ct and Cd were partial arch replacement, total arch replacement, and TEVAR. The surgical mortality in type Ct was higher compared to type Cd (Ct vs. Cd = 9.38 vs. 1.69%, p &lt; 0.01) and type Cp (Ct vs. Cp = 9.38 vs. 1.85%, p = 0.06). There was no difference in surgical mortality of type Cp and Cd (p = 0.93). There were no significant differences in the long-term survival rates (p = 0.38) and free of aorta-related re-operations (p = 0.19).Conclusion: The Fuwai classification is used to distinguish different AcDs. Different AcDs have different surgical mortality and use different operation methods, but they have similar long-term results.

Published: September 2021

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the early and long-term outcomes of a single center using a frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure for chronic type B or non-A non-B aortic dissection.Methods: From February 2009 to December 2019, 79 patients diagnosed with chronic type B or non-A non-B aortic dissection who underwent the FET procedure were included in the present study. We analyzed operation mortality and early and long-term outcomes, including complications, survival and interventions.Results: The operation mortality rate was 5.1% (4/79). Spinal cord injury occurred in 3.8% (3/79), stroke in 2.5% (2/79), and acute renal failure in 5.1% (4/79). The median follow-up time was 53 months. The overall survival rates were 96.2, 92.3, 88.0, 79.8, and 76.2% at 1/2, 1, 3, 5 and 7 years, respectively. Moreover, 79.3% of patients did not require distal aortic reintervention at 7 years. The overall survival in the subacute group was superior to that in the chronic group (P = 0.047).Conclusion: The FET technique is a safe and feasible approach for treating chronic type B and non-A non-B aortic dissection in patients who have contraindications for primary endovascular aortic repair. The technique combines the advantages of both open surgical repair and endovascular intervention, providing comparable early and long-term follow-up outcomes and freedom from reintervention.

Introduction: Endometriosis has a negative effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), wellbeing and daily functioning. Endometriosis is an under-researched condition within non-western populations. Cultural representations are needed to understand the relative roles of societal norms, traditional factors, and religious sensitivities on the impact of endometriosis on HRQoL in various populations. In particular, there is a lack of emphasis placed in understanding the association of HRQoL on endometriosis in Arab women.Method: In this prospective case-control study, 2,610 Arab ancestry women in the United Arab Emirates were recruited to investigate the impact of endometriosis on HRQoL, diagnostic delay, psychological co-morbidities, work productivity, and physical activity. Participants completed the following standardized, validated questionnaires: Short Form-36 version 2 questionnaire, the World Endometriosis Research Foundation EPHect minimum clinical questionnaire version, and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire. Translations to the Arabic language, validated using the forward-backward translation method, of the questionnaires were utilized.Results: HRQoL scores were significantly impaired in women with endometriosis, as demonstrated in the Physical Composite Scores and Mental Composite Scores in the symptomatic control group (p = 0.001; p = 0.003, respectively) and the asymptomatic control group (p &lt; 0.001; p &lt; 0.001, respectively). Susceptibility and severity of multiple pain syndromes and infertility in women with endometriosis was the main indicator of lower HRQoL. Anxiety (p = 0.007) and depression (p = 0.005) were significantly associated with endometriosis, in comparison to symptomatic controls. The average diagnostic delay was 11.61 years, however single women experience 15.81 years of diagnosis delay, with approximately 18% (n = 15) of the single women experiencing more than a 20-year delay in diagnosis. The intensity of physical activity was not associated with endometriosis, when compared to symptomatic (p = 0.405) or asymptomatic controls (p = 0.144).Conclusion: For the first time, we provide evidence from a combined hospital, clinic, and population-based study that Arab women with endometriosis experience significant impacts on HRQoL, substantial diagnostic delay after the onset of symptoms, significant association to psychological disorders (anxiety and depression), and a negative impact on work productivity. Future research must focus on understanding the personal and culturally centered beliefs of Arab women to ensure a positive HRQoL trajectory by improving diagnosis and management strategies.

Published: September 2021

Organic–inorganic nanocomposites for photothermal therapy of cancers emerged as a promising strategy against malignant tumors. However, it is still a big challenge to develop a nanocomposite system that can maximize the synergistic photo-thermal therapy effect as well as preserve high stability for simultaneous delivery of the chemotherapeutic drugs and photo-thermal agents. Here, we have exploited an organic liposome containing inorganic core for co-loading the aggregates of bovine serum albumin (BSA), indocyanine green (ICG), and doxorubicin (DOX), abbreviated as BID-liposomal nanocomposites. The three kinds of substances were aggregated in the core of liposomal nanocomposites through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. In vitro characterization shows that BID-liposomal nanocomposites were spherical nanoparticles with size of 30–50 nm and good storage stability. Moreover, BID-Liposomal nanocomposites illustrate the strongest cytotoxicity among all the formulations against murine 4T1 tumor cells. In breast cancer-bearing mouse models, BID liposomes lead to significant improvements in tumor inhibition effects with no obvious toxicity. Therefore, the BID-liposomal nanoparticle is believed to be a promising strategy for chemo-photo-thermal therapy against cancers.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between dietary salt intake and residual renal function in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods: The daily salt intake of the patients was calculated based on a 3 day dietary record. Sixty-two patients were divided into three groups: 33 patients in the low salt intake group (salt intake &lt;6.0 g/day), 17 in the medium salt intake group (salt intake 6.0 to &lt;8.0 g/day), and 12 in the high salt intake group (salt intake ≥8.0 g/day). Regular follow-up was conducted every 3 months. Urine volume, peritoneal ultrafiltration volume, and other clinical indicators were recorded. Biochemical indexes were detected to evaluate the changes in residual renal function and peritoneal function during follow-up.Results: A positive correlation between dietary sodium intake and sodium excretion was found. During 12-month follow-up, a decrease of residual renal function showed a significant difference among the three groups (p = 0.041) (15.3 ± 27.5 vs. 12.5 ± 11.5 vs. 32.9 ± 18.4 L/W/1.73 m2 in the low-, medium-, and high salt intake groups, respectively). Consistently, a higher decline of residual renal function (adjusted β, 20.37; 95% CI, 2.83, 37.91) was found in participants with high salt intake (salt intake ≥8 g/day) compared with those in non-high salt intake.Conclusion: Our study showed that the sodium excretion by peritoneal dialysis was positively correlated with dietary sodium intake in PD patients. The high salt intake diet (salt intake ≥8 g/day) may lead to a faster decline of residual renal function in PD patients.
