The Diabetes Self-Care Calendar for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in rural Indonesia: a pilot study
Authors: Sugiharto Sh , Hsu Yu-Yun 
Published: August 2019

Background Diabetes self-care reminders are widely applied to improve self-care among diabetes patients. Unfortunately, there is a lack of self-care reminders for diabetes patients who live in rural areas of developing countries with limited resources. Aims The study evaluated the feasibility of the Diabetes Self-Care Calendar as a reminder tool for self-care. Methods The study was conducted in a community health centre in Pekalongan Regency, Indonesia. The Diabetes Self-Care Calendar was developed as a reminder tool following the American Association of Diabetes Educator self-care guidelines. The feasibility of the calendar was evaluated using the quality assessment questionnaire that assessed accessibility, acceptability, effectiveness, efficiency and appropriateness. The participants’ qualitative feedback was organised into themes. Results A total of 10 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus participated in the study. The quality of the calendar was evaluated in terms of accessibility (m = 9.5; range = 0 – 10), acceptability (m = 9.7; range = 0 – 10), effectiveness (m = 9.3; range = 0 – 10), efficiency (m = 9; range = 0 – 10) and appropriateness (m = 9; range = 0 – 10). The feasibility of the calendar was m = 9.3 (range = 9 to 9.7). Three themes emerged based on the participants' qualitative feedback included family involvement, calendar portability and calendar design. Conclusions The findings suggest the Diabetes Self-Care Calendar is feasible as a reminder tool for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who live in rural areas.

Published: August 2019

Background: Adductor longus tendinopathy is a well-known etiology of chronic groin pain in elite athletes. Surgery is indicated for those who fail conservative treatment. No studies to date have evaluated the feasibility of an ultrasound-guided release of the proximal adductor longus tendon. Purpose/Hypothesis: The primary aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of an ultrasound-guided selective adductor longus release with a cutting wire. A secondary aim was to determine safety by avoiding injury to adjacent structures. We hypothesized that the proximal adductor longus tendon can be released under ultrasound guidance with a cutting wire without injury to adjacent neurovascular or genitourinary structures. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Ten adductor longus tendons (5 cadaveric specimens) from 4 males and 1 female between 76 and 89 years of age with a mean body mass index of 21.9 kg/m2 (range, 16.8-29.6 kg/m2) were used during this study. A single experienced physician sonographer performed ultrasound-guided proximal adductor longus tendon releases on all cadaveric specimens using a cutting wire. Dissection was performed by a second physician to determine the completeness of the tendon transections and to detect injury to adjacent neurovascular or genitourinary structures. Results: All 10 adductor longus tendons were transected. Eight of 10 transections were complete, whereas in 2 transections, >99% of the tendon was transected. There were no injuries to adjacent genitourinary or neurovascular structures. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided adductor tendon release is feasible and safe in a cadaveric model. Further translational research should be performed to determine whether these results can be replicated in the clinical setting. Clinical Relevance: Adductor longus tendinopathy frequently requires surgical intervention and prolonged time away from sport. The present study suggests that a selective adductor longus tendon release can be performed with ultrasound guidance. This procedure warrants further translational research to explore its use in clinical practice.

Authors: Ahmad Saima , Chaudhry Umair Rashid , Mansour Ossama Yassin 
Published: August 2019

Introduction: Mechanical thrombectomy has become the cornerstone and standard of care for acute stroke patients. Early reperfusion in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke is the most important factor. The motivation behind this investigation is to display the aftereffects of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with large vessel occlusion in anterior and posterior circulation and to demonstrate that it lessens the level of handicap 3 months post stroke. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients who presented with acute ischemic stroke at our center from 2015 to 2018 and received mechanical thrombectomy using combined manual aspiration with a stent retriever and with large bore catheters without the bridging technique. Result factors including recanalization rate and modified Rankin Scale at 90 days post procedure were assessed. An aggregate of 30 patients were included. Results: About 30 patients presented at the institute and met the inclusion criteria for the study. Successful recanalization (the Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Score [TICI 2B]) was accomplished in 90% of patients, TICI 3 score was accomplished in 56% of the patients. 67% of the patients had good modified Rankin Scale score 0-2 result at 90 days. There were 3 symptomatic hemorrhages and 3 procedure and comorbidity-related deaths (10%). Conclusion: Mechanical thrombectomy using combined manual aspiration with a stent retriever and with large bore catheters alone without the bridging technique is an effective and safe procedure for endovascular revascularization of large vessel occlusion presenting with acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUNDHip fractures typically occur in frail elderly patients. Preoperative specialty consults, in addition to hospitalist comanagement, are often requested for preoperative risk assessment.OBJECTIVEDetermine if preoperative specialty consults meaningfully influence management and outcomes in hip fracture patients, while being comanaged by hospitalistsDESIGNRetrospective cohort studySETTINGTertiary care hospital in ConnecticutPATIENTS491 patients aged 50 years and older who underwent surgery for an isolated fragility hip fracture, defined as one occurring from a fall of a height of standing or less.INTERVENTIONPresence or absence of a preoperative specialty consultMEASUREMENTSTime to surgery (TTS), length of hospital stay (LOS), and postoperative complicationsRESULTS177 patients had a preoperative specialty consult. Patients with consults were older and had more comorbidities. Most consult recommendations were minor (72.8%); there was a major recommendation only for eight patients (4.5%). Multivariate analysis demonstrates that consults are more likely to be associated with a TTS beyond 24 hours (Odds Ratio [OR] 4.28 [2.79‐6.56]) and 48 hours (OR 2.59 [1.52‐4.43]), an extended LOS (OR 2.67 [1.78‐4.03]), and a higher 30‐day readmission rate (OR 2.11 [1.09‐4.08]). A similar 30‐day mortality rate was noted in both consult and no‐consult groups.CONCLUSIONSThe majority of preoperative specialty consults did not meaningfully influence management and may have potentially increased morbidity by delaying surgery. Our data suggest that unless a hip fracture patient is unstable and likely to require active management by a consultant, such consults offer limited benefit when weighed against the negative impact of surgical delay.

Abstract. Tampubolon K, Purba E, Basyuni M, Hanafiah DS. 2019. Glyphosate resistance of Eleusine indica populations from North Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1910-1916. Controlling of Eleusine indica populations in oil palm plantations using a similar mode of action of herbicide may cause resistant weed. Overall E. indica populations from oil palm plantations in North Sumatra, Indonesia have never been reported to be glyphosate-resistant. This research was aimed to determine the survival percentage and to classify the resistance of E. indica to glyphosate from oil palm plantations in 11 districts in North Sumatra Province. The research was conducted in the Weed Research Center Field Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara from October 2016 to August 2017. This research was arranged in a Randomized Block Design with the glyphosate-treatment using a recommended dose of two l ha-1 and three replications. The ESU0 population was collected in the soccer field of Politeknik Negeri Medan (Medan city) was used as a check, and has never been exposed to the herbicide. Parameters were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and the means were compared using DMRT at a probability level of 5%. The results showed that 276 (65.56%) of 421 populations were classified as glyphosate-resistant, 88 populations (20.90%) were classified as glyphosate-resistant developing, and 57 populations (13.54%) were classified as glyphosate-susceptible. The highest range of dry weight of glyphosate-resistant E. indica populations were found in 5 districts including South Labuhanbatu District followed by the Serdang Bedagai, Simalungun, Asahan, and North Labuhanbatu Districts. The observed resistance level and dry weight range in the present study indicated the failure in controlling E. indica due to continued use of glyphosate and the potency of E. indica distribution into other oil palm estates due to its high biomass production capability.
The Azmari Tradition in Addis Ababa: Change and Continuity
Authors: Gebremariam Simeneh Betreyohannes 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Issues in history, politics, or linguistics have been dominant themes in Ethiopian studies. Social and cultural phenomena are not given enough emphasis and attention in the academic discourse. The azmari tradition in Addis Ababa is one example of the type of experience that has been neglected in academic investigation. The existing literature and popular discussion on this topic exhibit various shortcomings, mostly stemming from a lack of a comprehensive social and historical context. The study of the azmari tradition and the sociocultural context in which it operates provides an understanding of the ways in which azmari music and azmariwoč (pl.) adapted to the rapid urbanization process and the political, institutional, and technological changes the city has undergone. The article provides information about the origin, development, and institutionalization of the azmari tradition, shedding light on the changes and continuities of azmari music in the twentieth century. The study employs an historical approach integrated with ethnographic methods to reconstruct the story of the azmari tradition.
History through Oral Poetry: Rural Responses to Land Reform and Land Redistribution in Gondär Province, 1975–1982
Authors: Alyou Ebrahim Damtew 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
History witnesses that oral expression among the people of Ethiopia is part of their cultural heritage and among other things a form of commentary in response to larger events that affect them. Peasants who are often regarded as illiterate nonetheless find ways to depict their sentiments in matters of social, political, and cultural importance. The aim of this article is to investigate popular reactions to land reform and land redistribution from 1978 to 1982, drawing on forms of communication and self-expression found in the “local press” (i.e., oral poetry) of both the peasants and former landowners of Gondär Province. Data was collected from primary and related secondary sources to obtain substantive evidence on the subject. By employing oral poetry, the people of Gondär voice their inner feelings, grievances or support for the state’s land reform as well as towards the actions of local officials. Because land has long been the center of life and livelihoods in the rural history of Ethiopia, much oral tradition touches on the issues of land, peasant survival, and state actions as well as on peasant–peasant relations in line with the prevailing social, political and economic context. The continuity of peasant poetic tradition is also celebrated in the content of the poems.
Governing Nature and Ethiopia: Struggles around World Heritage, Nation-Building and Ecologies (1963–2012)
Authors: Blanc Guillaume 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThrough an analysis of sources produced from the 1960s to the present by the managers of the Ethiopian Simien mountains national park, this article examines the origins, manifestations, and outcomes of a struggle rooted in the transnational shaping of a “natural” landscape. On the one hand, representatives of international institutions of conservation sought to protect the vestiges of an African Eden threatened by its inhabitants. On the other hand, Ethiopian state leaders used this Western ecological ethic to gain international recognition and through it, to better enforce their power over the national territory. Thus, at the local level this governance of nature resulted in the use of both material and symbolic violence against the resident populations, who were found guilty of degrading a “National Park” classified as “World Heritage.”
The Orientalist on Trial: Enrico Cerulli and the United Nations War Crimes Commission
Authors: De Lorenzi James 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThis article examines the United Nations War Crimes Commission’s ruling against Enrico Cerulli, the distinguished Italian scholar and senior colonial administrator. It reconstructs the UNWCC debate concerning jurisdiction over Italian crimes in Ethiopia, set against the backdrop of postwar decolonization, and then outlines the specific case against Cerulli, the committee and extra-committee deliberations, and the inconclusive aftermath of these events. The conclusion critiques Cerulli’s conception of colonial guilt and briefly considers the implications of Ethiopia’s experience at the Commission for current debates about the International Criminal Court.
“Peace Is Not a Free Gift”: Indigenous Conceptions of Peace among the Guji-Oromo in Southern Ethiopia
Authors: Debelo Asebe Regassa , Jirata Tadesse Jaleta 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Indigenous African knowledge of building and maintaining peace is not well known and has not been much used in the dominant modern mechanisms of conflict resolution. With the aim of addressing this limitation, this article analyzes the broader conceptualization of peace and peace building among the Guji-Oromo in southern Ethiopia. The Guji-Oromo are keenly aware that their existence as a society depends on the maintenance of peace (nagaa) among them as a community and between them and God as well as between them and their natural and human environments. They believe that peace is not a free gift, because maintaining it requires continuous and earnest negotiation, social actions, and cooperation among many stakeholders who possess political, cultural, and spiritual powers. The article further argues that the Guji-Oromo conceptualize peace beyond the conventional understandings that position it as the absence of conflict or warfare. Rather, for the Guji, peace is broadly understood as a continuous flow of relationships between the people and their human and nonhuman environments. The article shows that Guji’s conceptions of peace are not static; rather, they are subject to internal and external influences that shape how different members of the society conceptualize it and the way it is maintained.
Against All Odds: The History of Archaeological Research in Somaliland and Somalia
Authors: Rodríguez Jorge de Torres 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThis article presents an overview of the history of archaeological work in Somaliland and Somalia from the late nineteenth century to the present, situating that work within its ever-changing social and political contexts. It also assesses the current challenges and opportunities that archaeological practice faces in both regions. Despite numerous obstacles—including political instability, a fragmented academic community, and deficiencies in the publication and dissemination of findings in multiple research languages—the article contends that the extensive data from previous and current archaeological studies, if assembled and properly utilized, can shed light on a range of key questions in the prehistory and history of the Horn of Africa. Finally, the article notes the growing threats to the archaeological and historical heritage in the region, and suggests how institutions, academics and the Somali community can join efforts to protect and preserve the remains of one of the most impressive African heritages.

Demand for the industry to enhance competitive advantage. For that, the industry is required to make a breaking through in order to enhance the organizational performance. This is a reason for addressing the inefficiencies in managing people, processes, organizations, and technology. One of the efforts in improving organization performance is the development in the field of Information Systems as an effort to improve the agility of the organization. ERP system is one solution that can be employed in order to improve organization performance. However, in reality, industrial companies face problems in ERP implementation. This is a challenge to solve the problems of implementing an ERP system for industry. In this opportunity, researchers intend to conduct a re-search to identify the problems of factors in the ERP implementation, namely by proposing agile methods as one of the new methodologies in the effort to solve the problems in the ERP implementation for an industry. The results of this study will result in an agile model of implementing ERP for improving the capacity of ERP systems. This study idea is to analyze the agile method as a solution alternative to make changes for the ERP implementation success. This study is using Structural Equation Modeling as a quantitative data analysis approach of an industry as a case study.Â Â Â

Published: August 2019

The continuity of coral reef ecosystem highly depends on the new coral larvae recruitment process. Hence, the information regarding distribution, the abundance of corals, and its relation to other variables are highly important in that ecosystem management. Research was conducted at nine stations represented each zone at the conservation area of Kapoposang Marine Tourism Park (TWP Kapoposang). This research aims at seeking for spatial variations of the abundance of coral recruitment at three primary zones monitored (core zone, sustainable fishing zone and utilization zone) and we further identified its relations with spatial variation of herbivorous fishes abundance and coral cover’s condition at those zones. The coral recruitment observation employed transect quadrat sampling method with size of 1x1 meter and 10 times repetition at a similar depth, and the coral recruitment abundance measurement in natural habitat based on the amounts of juvenile corals has been defined as coral colony with size of ≤10 cm. Overall, this research has found 534 coral juveniles consisted of 19 genera and 7 families, and the average of juvenile coral density stood at 5.34±4.45 SE.m-2. The coral reef recruitment category at TWP Kapoposang could be classified as high and its abundance spatial distribution showed no significant differences between each zone, as well as not influenced by either herbivorous fish abundance variable or the percentage of live coral cover.

Inequality of regional development is a common problem faced by all provinces in Indonesia, not least the Province of Central Kalimantan. Regional inequality stems from factors that should be minimized. The aims of this research were 1)to tanalyze the trend of regional development inequality in Central Kalimantan Province and the factors that influence it 2) to analyze the hierarchy of regional development in Kotawaringin Timur (Kotim) Regency and developing area 3) to analyze regional development inequality and influenced factors using Geographical Weighted Regression (GWR).4) to prepare regional directives and policy development plans. The method used are Williamson's Index, Multiple Regression with Unbalanced Panel, weighted Skalogram, and GWR. The results of this study indicated that the level of inequality in Central Kalimantan Province tends to decrease with RHGU as the most dominant factor. The regional development of the area at the sub-district level showed spatial patterns which indicated an imbalance between the northern and southern regions. The GWR resulted also shows that RHGU is still the dominant factor with the same influence throughout the research area. Thus, the urgency of agrarian reform in plantation areas is important to be implemented immediately.
