Authors: Sulaiman A. D. I. , Adamu M. B. , Hassan Usman , Aliyu S. M. 
Published: November 2021

Progress in drilling engineering demands more sophistication from the drilling mud in order to enhance the usage of drilling fluids, hence numerous additives were introduced, and a simple fluid became a complicated mixture of liquid, solid and chemicals. Some of the challenges with the existing drilling fluid additives has to do with compatibility, degradability, safety, cost, and environmental friendliness. Studies have been carried out on the economic benefits of Cissus Populnea which includes in areas of food, medicine, shelter, and transport but much attention has been paid to its applications in the Oil and Gas industry. This study investigates the rheological properties of Cissus Populnea for application as drilling fluid additive (viscosifier) in Water Based Drilling Mud. Fresh roots, stems and leaves of cissus populnea were sourced from Bayara, Bauchi State. Some liquid exudates of cissus populnea were collected and stored for analysis while some of the samples were dried and grinded in to powdered form. Exudate of the samples were characterized by FTIR, XRD and XRF. Drilling mud was formulated with the samples cisssus populnea and bentonite at different temperatures. The rheology of the formulated drilling mud was investigated and compared with that formulated using bentonite and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Results from X-ray Fluorescence analysis show that the chemical composition of Cissus populnea stem and root are similar when comparing their major components (In2O3 and CaO), while that of leaf has its major components to be In2O3 and Cl. Therefore, in this research work, experiments were conducted with only stem and leaf since stem and roots have common features. From the results of FTIR spectra, the stem of cissus populnea has an OH peak wavelength of 3487.42 cm-1 while that of leave is 3340.82 cm-1. The diffractogram of the stem of cissus populnea was observed at 2q = 22.67o which is very close to that of CMC (2θ = 20.31o) while the intense peaks of leaf were observed at around 28.65o. Viscosity of cissus populnea was investigated and found to be decreasing with the increase in temperature for stem exudate. While for leaf exudate, the viscosity was rather increasing with the increase in temperature at temperatures below 35 oC and then continue to decrease with the increase in temperature. The outcome of this research has confirmed the applicability of cissus populnea for drilling fluid additives, viscosifier.

Published: November 2021

The welding current (A), arc voltage (V) preheating (°C), travel speed (mm·min-1) and net heat input (Qnet) were evaluated, on the strength and morphology of the fracture in experimental HSLA Cr-Ni steel welded joints, with commercial (ERS70S-6) filler metal and robotic GTAW technique. The samples were characterized by uniaxial stress tests, stereoscopy and Digital Image Processing (DIP). The results showed that the resistance to fracture of the experimental steel was exceeded by 18.39% by applying Qnet 0.520 (kJ·mm-1) and the combination of: 200 A, 12.7 V, 25 °C and 180 mm min-1, which influenced the ductile fracture morphology and topology. While the low Qnet (0.200-0.208 kJ·mm-1) favors instantaneous deformation of the welded joints with fracture in the weld bead as the major defect.

Authors: Alber Nader , Dabour Mohamed 
Published: November 2021

This paper aims at testing the significance of each of Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing on banks’ asset quality, using a sample of 30 banks representing 10 countries according to GMM technique. Data have been collected from the World Health Organization during 2020. The research covers 10 countries (Egypt; Saudi Arabia; Indonesia; Germany; France; Russia; India; Mexico; South Korea and Nigeria) where 3 banks have been investigated from each country.
Results indicate that banks’ asset quality measured by Average change of nonperforming loans ratio seems to be sensitive to Covid-19 spread, measured by Average cases of COVID-19. Besides, findings support the effect of social distancing, measured by each of average staying at residential and average social distancing for retail-recreation. It’s important to pinpoint that results do not support the effect of each of average deaths of Covid-19 and average social distancing for workplaces, residential, grocery pharmacy, parks and transit stations.

Authors: Piedra-Bravo Yadira Lucía , Encalada Torres Lorena Esperanza , Piedra Bravo Johanna Alexandra , Bravo-Calderón Diego Mauricio 
Published: November 2021

Background: Oral candidiasis (OC) is an opportunistic fungal disease related to various local and systemic factors. Hospitalized aged patients are considered susceptible hosts with several adverse clinical outcomes, including OC and undernutrition.
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of oral candidiasis among hospitalized aged patients who attended on the inpatient units of Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital and Jose Carrasco Arteaga Hospital of Cuenca-Ecuador. And also, to evaluate the association between OC and nutritional status in hospitalized aged patients.
Methods and materials: This study was performed with two hundred and twenty subjects; convenience sampling was applied for seven months. Demographic data were collected by a questionnaire. OC diagnosis was accomplished by oral examination; clinical lesions suggestive were analyzed with swabbed culture tests. OC was diagnosed when patients exhibited oral suggestive lesions synchronously with positive culture results. Nutritional assessment was performed with Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) system. Statistical analysis was performed with IBM_SPSS-20 software; associations were analyzed using Chi-square test, or Fisher’s exact test, and multiple logistic regression. For all tests, ???? ≤ 0.05 was considered as a statistically significant result.
Results: Out of 220 hospitalized aged patients, 62 (28.1%) were diagnosed with oral candidiasis. The mean age was 78.3±7.8 years The Demographic/clinical variables (sex, age, residence area, education, use of dental prostheses) indicated no correlation with oral candidiasis. Nutritional variables (hypoalbuminemia and severe undernutrition were significantly correlated with oral candidiasis (p=0.009; p=0.007).
Conclusions: 28.1 % of the hospitalized aged patients had oral candidiasis. Hypoalbuminemia and severe undernutrition are risk factors associated with oral candidiasis.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: A rise in post-operative complications (POCs) was observed following the second national lockdown due to the ongoing Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This prompted our Oral Surgery Department to investigate this to understand why this increase had occurred.
Aim: To evaluate the rise in POCs at The Eastman Dental Hospital Oral Surgery Department during and after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
Materials and methods: A two cycle audit to assess the effect of the restrictions and ease imposed by lockdown on the number of POCs reported within the department.
Results: A spike in POCs was observed during the second lockdown. Following the ease of these restrictions, POCs reduced by half.
Discussion: As lockdown eased, the number of patient’s contacting the department following surgical procedures significantly reduced. Did the pandemic cause patients to become more observant with regards to their post-operative site?
Conclusions: COVID-19 has had a lasting effect amongst our society and healthcare professionals are seeing not only the physical detriment but also the mental effects on our patients. We must ask if the increase in our POCs be caused by underlying “health anxiety” amongst members of the general public and if so, how can it be overcome?
Privatization of Higher Education in Indonesia

Published: November 2021

Abstract: Privatisasi adalah fenomena global yang terjadi di negera maju maupun negara berkembang. Indonesia mengikuti kebijakan privatisasi sebagai bagian dari kesepakatan antara pemerintah dengan IMF untuk pemullihan krisis tahun 1997. Salah satu bidang yang sedang dalam proses privatisasi di Indonesia adalah pendidikan, termasuk pendidikan tinggi. Privatisasi pendidikan adalah kebijakan yang keliru dan seharusnya dihentikan atas dasar pertimbangan:Pertama, pendidikan adalah barang publik (public goods) dan merupakan bagian dari HAM sehingga tidak bisa diprivatisasi. Kedua, privatisasi dapat melemahkan otonomi, karena perguruan tinggi dapat dikontrol oleh investor asing dan lembaga donor. Ketiga, privatisasi memperlemah kekuatan masyarakat sipil (civil society) karena posisi yayasan, tokoh masyarakat, organisasi social dan kegamaan yang mendirikan perguruan tinggi akan diganti oleh investor. Keempat, privatisasi menyebabkan biaya pendidikan tinggi menjadi mahal, sehingga masyarakat tidak bisa belajar di perguruan tinggi. kelima, privatisasi dapat menurunkan kualitas akademik perguruan tinggi khususnya pada bidang humanity, ilmu sosial, dan riset. Keenam, privatisasi yang notabene bagian dari kebijakan neoliberalisme bertentangan dengan Pancasila dan UUD 45 yang berpaham welfare state yang mewajibkan negara memenuhi hak pendidikan warga negaranya.

Abstract: Moral/ Religion Values Education in Indonesia from 1968 to now a days are still neglected, it has not been addressed in a planned and serious. This is proved by the number of hours learning that has nuances of religious and moral education in minimal, it is only 2 to 4 hours per week than the hours from 34 to 42 hours per week. Whereas by KTSP, it is actually more manageable, so that these needs can be accommodated and fulfilled. Moral/ Religion Values Education is very important for youth as the future generation, that lifted the nationâ€™s dignity, increasing quality of life, life for the better, safe and comfortable and prosperous. Education is to form the next generation who has German brains and has Mecca heart that reflects a balance between knowledge and practice of the moral / religious values. Ideal conditions of the next generation youth, as an individual who is growing, and therefore need to be given the opportunity to grow in proportion, directed, and optimal and get a balanced education services between knowledge and moral / religion education. They have a role and position strategic in the continuity of the nation life. But the factual conditions in the field as it appears in print and electronic media, in fact as the next generation, youths caught up in immoral behavior that is very worrying and fearing even disturbing the public, such as the emergence of biker gangs, fights (students, university students, and even between villages involving mass ). It is predicted as a result of the neglect of Moral Values Education in Indonesia. Therefore, this writing tries to explore based on literature review and the real conditions in the field to obtain a reliable solution / cespleng.

KONSEP PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM (PAI) BERBASIS PESANTREN DI LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN UMUM
Authors: Sudadi Sudadi 
Published: November 2021

Penelitian ini berawal dari anggapan umum bahwa sebagian besar generasi Indonesia didominasi oleh masyarakat muslim yang bersekolah di sekolah negeri bukan pada sekolah madrasah, sedangkan Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) yang diajarkan kepada siswa lebih banyak di ajarkan di sekolah madrasah. Akibatnya, banyak siswa siswi beragama Islam memiliki pemahaman yang kurang terhadap agama dan mereka tidak mengerti dengan sempurna (kaffah) tentang nilai-nilai yang terkandung di dalamnya. Pendidikan Islam di sekolah umum seperti sekolah dasar hingga sekolah menengah harus mendapat pengembangan, modifikasi, inovasi dan program pembelajaran tambahan sehingga tujuan integral pendidikan Islam dapat tercapai dengan baik. Sistem pembelajaran yang lebih optimal dapat dilakukan dengan memodifikasi mata pelajaran PAI secara luas. Selain itu, pendidikan berbasis pesantren diluncurkan di sekolah umum adalah untuk menciptakan siswa agar memiliki karakter moral yang lebih tinggi. Penelitian ini membahas tentang pengembangan dan proses pembelajaran PAI di sekolah umum yang menerapkan program sekolah berbasis pesantren. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan sekolah berbasis pesantren dengan menguraikan perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan evaluasi pada sistem pembelajarannya. Pendekatan analisis dalam kajian ini bersifat naturalistik dengan melakukan diskusi secara komprehensif dan deskriptif pada fokus penelitian dalam system pendidikan terpadu, dengan metode observasi dan wawancara, dilanjutkan dengan menguji validitas data melalui interaksi yang sering dilakukan dengan sumber primer, melakukan obeservasi lebih rajin dan uji triangulasi konduksi. Selain itu penelitian ini mengunakan analisis deskriptif, analisis kasus silang dan penalaran komparatif dan induktif untuk pembahasan dan analisis temuan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa penerapan pendidikan agama Islam berbasis pesantren di sekolah umum memiliki nilai yang baik bagi siswa, karena siswa mampu mempraktekan dan mendalami ilmu agama sebagaimana mestinya.

Regulation A+ Sebagai Alternatif Penghimpun Dana Untuk UMKM Dan Start-Up
Authors: Dinda Silviana Putri  
Published: November 2021

Capital is a problem that is often faced by start-up companies and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). On the other hand, these activities are often the choice of Indonesia's lower and middle class as an effort to improve their economy. For this reason, the Government through the Financial Services Authority (OJK) provides steps to raise capital through a crowdfunding method using information technology (equity crowdfunding / ECF). ECF activities are a solution for start-ups and MSMEs to raise capital in ways that are almost similar to Initial Public Offering (IPO) activities by involving publishers, organizers, and investors. Unfortunately, even though it has been going on since 2018, business activities using the ECF as a real effort to provide additional capital have not been maximally implemented. This is because there are several records that can hinder the optimization of the ECF itself, such as the Investors criteria, shares Flexibility, and maximum securities ownership.
This research is normative legal research using a conceptual approach, a statutory approach, and a comparative approach and the development of ECF regulations in Indonesia and reformation on investor limitation law in the ECF in Indonesia as research problems.
The results of this study indicate that the application and regulation of the ECF in Indonesia still have various deficiencies. Therefore, a solution is needed by adopting several provisions in Regulation A + in America as an effort to overcome these deficiencies.

Abstract

Introduction. Escherichia coli is a common cause of acute diarrhea mainly in young children and, less frequently, in elderly or immunosuppressed patients. Many types of E. coli are part of the normal enteric flora, but can cause urinary tract or nervous system infections.

Objective. To study the prevalence of the main types and serogroups of diarrheagenic E. coli among hospitalized children with enteric infections.

Material and methods. Over a period of 5 years, 1,160 hospitalized children with acute diarrhea syndrome were studied. Fecal samples underwent culturing, biochemical and phenotypic identification.

Results. Among the studied patients, 112/1,160 children (9.7%) had diarrhea caused by E. coli, and only 4 of the isolates were lactose-negative. The most common was diarrhea caused by ETEC – 65/112 (58.0%), followed by EPEC – 38/112 (33.9%), and in third place – EHES 9/112 (8.0%). We did not isolate EIEC types. Depending on the group of E. coli, we observed some differences in the clinical presentation and specifics in the distribution of patients by age.

Conclusion. The study shows that this causative agent is common among Bulgarian children with diarrhea. Unfortunately, in Bulgaria the microbiological network is still not able to adequately respond to the challenges of the extended serodiagnosis for detection of diarrheagenic E. coli, which is performed in Western Europe and North America.
