Keterlibatan perempuan Kristen dalam politik praktis dan gaya kepemimpinan: Sebuah perspektif teologi feminis
Authors: Natar Asnath Niwa 
Published: October 2024

The year 2024 is the year of democracy. In addition to direct presidential elections, legislative elections are held at the Regency, City, Provincial, and Central levels. One aspect that needs attention in consolidating Indonesian democracy is gender equality in political life. After the 2019 elections, gender inequality still exists in Indonesia's political constellation. This can be seen from the unideal number of female parliamentarians. Then, what about the involvement of Christian women in practical politics? Do they get equal political opportunities, and what are the inhibiting factors? What style of women's leadership can contribute to practical politics? This issue will be reviewed from a feminist perspective to provide awareness so that more Christian women are involved in practical politics to fight for the fate of women.

Abstrak
Tahun 2024 adalah tahun pesta demokrasi. Selain diselenggara-kan pemilihan presiden secara langsung, juga pemilihan legislatif baik tingkat Kabupaten, Kota, Provinsi, dan Pusat. Salah satu aspek yang perlu menjadi perhatian dalam mengkonsolidasikan demokrasi Indonesia adalah kesetaraan gender dalam kehidupan politik. Pasca Pemilu 2019, ketimpangan gender masih terjadi dengan jelas dalam konstelasi politik Indonesia. Hal ini bisa dilihat dari belum idealnya jumlah anggota parlemen perempuan. Lalu, bagaimana dengan keterlibatan perempuan Kristen dalam politik praktis? Apakah mereka mendapat peluang yang sama dalam politik, dan apa yang menjadi faktor penghambatnya. Apa gaya kepemimpinan perempuan yang bisa disumbangkan dalam politik praktis? Masalah ini akan ditinjau dari perspektif feminis, dengan tujuan memberikan penyadaran agar lebih banyak kaum perempuan Kristen yang terlibat dalam politik praktis untuk memperjuangkan nasib kaum perempuan

Authors: Lakonawa Petrus 
Published: October 2024

In a world that is still constrained by oppression, discrimination, and violence against others, this article attempts to critically examine the hierarchical worldview and the logic of domination using a Christian ecofeminist theological perspective. This article aims to provide critical notes on several theological views that inherit or contribute to perpetuating hierarchical worldview, the logic of domination, and asymmetrical relationships, especially those that have become the basis for the oppression of women and nature. This study uses text analysis methods within the framework of a qualitative literature study to analyze and outline the core ideas of the logic of domination and the main theses of Christian ecofeminist theology to overcome the common exclusive and discriminatory theological problems. This research concludes that a hierarchical worldview and the logic of domination have become the root causes of various asymmetric exploitative relationships that have given rise to gender inequality, environmental destruction, and various other structural injustices in the world. This article encourages the emergence of collective awareness to fight for the social and ecological transformation of exploitative life structures.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fifth most important crops in the world in terms of production with an estimate of 375 million metric tons. In Nepal, potato ranks second in terms of production and sixth in terms of area coverage. Potato production is affected by weed infestation. Weeds compete with crops for nutrients, water and other resources, which eventually reduce the crop yield. The critical period of crop-weed competition for potato is 25-40 days from planting depending on the climatic-zone and planting seasons. The most common method of weed control in Nepal is manual method, while herbicides are uses in less areas. Weeds are considered as the major problem in conventional and organic farming, due to lower yields by weeds and higher costs of labor for weed control. Mulching is one of the best and safest practice for effective weed management in potato due to which micro-climate manipulation is developed. Metribuzin is widely used herbicides in potato that controls a range of broadleaf weed species and suppresses many grassy weeds. To study the performance of different weed management practices in potato ten treatments were set up viz., three herbicides (pendimethalin@ 1.0 kg a.i ha-1, metribuzin@ 0.5 kg a.i ha-1 and atrazine @ 0.25 kg a.i ha-1) constituting seven treatments, one mulching with rice straw, one treatment with two manual hoeing, and another treatment with no any weed management practices as control.The treatments were laid out in RCB design with 4 replications. The potato variety Janak Dev was planted on 12th Feb 2021 and 23rd Jan 2022 with tuber rate of 4.1 t.ha-1 with row spacing of 60 cm and plant to plant 20 cm in a plot size of 4 x 3 meter in flat bed. Growth parameters such as plant height, plant fresh and dry biomass were recorded. Data on weed density, weed dry biomass, and tuber yield were taken.The economics of the different treatments were calculated. Among the treatments metribuzin@ 0.25 kg a.i ha-1 as pre-emergence proved effective in controlling weeds showing highest weed control efficiency (200.7 %) and tuber yield (32.79 t ha-1) . However, the treatment rice straw mulch @ 6 t ha-1 produced the highest tuber yield (38.31 t ha-1), 73.4 % increased yield over control, weed control efficiency(147.1%), economic benefit (NRS 13,40,850), benefit cost ratio (4.93).The treatment rice straw mulch @ 6 t ha-1 showed superiority among the different weeds management practices.

Published: October 2024

High cost, unavailability, and imbalance use of chemical fertilizers and environmental degradation are challenging sustainability of wheat production in Nepal. Integration of vermicompost, biofertilizer (Azotobacter chrococcom) and chemical fertilizer can improve the situation. A field experiment was conducted to assess the combined application of vermicompost, chemical fertilizer and biofertilizer on the growth, yield, and nitrogen uptake of wheat at Rampur Chitwan from November 2021 to April 2022. The experiment was laid out in a strip-split plot design with five N levels as horizontal factors (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of recommended dose), two vermicompost levels (0 and 5 t ha-1) as the vertical factor, and two biofertilizer levels (with and without application) as the sub-plot factor with three replications. Data on growth, yield attributes and yield of wheat, nitrogen uptake were collected, analyzed and presented. The research result revealed a significant influence of biofertilizer and nitrogen levels on grain yield of wheat. Full dose of nitrogen resulted a significantly higher grain yield (4441.71 kg ha-1) than other nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50, 75 % of recommended dose with grain yield 2792.11, 2982.20, 3771.17. 4231.63 kg ha-1 respectively). Biofertilizer application had significantly higher grain yield (3726.76 kg ha-1) compared with no biofertilizer application (3560 kg ha-1). There was significant interactions between biofertilizer application and nitrogen levels on number of grains per spike and sterility percent of wheat. The number of grain per spike was highest with 100% recommended N with biofertilizer application (47.52 grains/spike) followed by 75 % recommended N with biofertilizer application (46.53 grains/spike). The sterility % was lowest (6.47 %) with 100 % N with biofertilizer application followed by 75 % N with biofertilizer application (6.72 %). Total nitrogen uptake was significantly higher (119.04 kg ha-1) for full dose of nitrogen as compared with lower nitrogen levels (0, 25. 50, 75 % recommended N levels). Biofertilizer application also resulted in significantly higher nitrogen uptake (89.89 kg ha-1) as compared with no Biofertilizer application (79.89 kg ha-1). Integration of biofertilizer, with chemical fertilizer 75 - 100 % recommended N level could increase the growth, yield, and nitrogen uptake of wheat in Chitwan.

OBJECTIVE
Imaging surveillance with serial MRI, or a "wait-and-scan" approach, is a management option for patients with small or medium-sized vestibular schwannomas (VSs). Prior publications have indicated no distinct quality of life advantage to upfront treatment compared with initial wait-and-scan management. However, imaging surveillance is dependent on patient adherence to follow-up. In this study, the authors aimed to identify rates and predictors of patient loss to follow-up during wait-and-scan management of sporadic VS.

METHODS
A single-center study was conducted including all patients from 2013 to 2018 who had undergone upfront imaging surveillance of sporadic VS. Patient data were retrospectively obtained from the electronic medical record. Outcomes of interest included loss to follow-up unrelated to death and inconsistent adherence to imaging surveillance recommendations. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate factors associated with loss to follow-up.

RESULTS
Over a 6-year study period, 270 patients underwent initial imaging surveillance of a sporadic VS. The median tumor diameter was 8.6 mm (range 1–28.9 mm). At the time of censoring, 106 patients (39.3%) had received treatment, 157 (58.1%) had been advised to continue follow-up, and 7 (2.6%) had died of non–VS-related causes. In total, 73 patients (27.0%) were completely lost to follow-up prior to the first treatment or death. Additionally, 60 patients (22.2%) missed at least 1 MRI follow-up or imaging follow-up was delayed by more than 1 year. Multivariable logistic regression identified an out-of-state residence (OR 3.05, 95% CI 1.58–5.89, p = 0.0009) and a smaller tumor size (unit OR per 1-mm increase in size, OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.83–0.95, p = 0.0006) to be associated with loss to follow-up. Patients living ≥ 350 miles from the hospital or with tumors ≤ 3 mm at the time of initial clinic evaluation were most likely to be lost to follow-up. Only a smaller tumor size was associated with an increased risk of inconsistent imaging follow-up (unit OR per 1-mm increase in size, OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.87–0.98, p = 0.007).

CONCLUSIONS
Patients undergoing imaging surveillance of VS are at risk for loss to follow-up and inconsistent imaging surveillance. Patients with smaller tumors or those living farther away from the treating institution are at highest risk for being lost to follow-up.

OBJECTIVE
This study estimates the incidence, treatment patterns, and overall survival for patients with chordoma treated in Ontario.

METHODS
A 17-year (2003–2019) population-based cohort study was conducted, including all patients in the Ontario Cancer Registry with histologically proven chordoma. Primary outcomes of interest were age-standardized annual incidence, overall survival, and rates of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and open resection.

RESULTS
A total of 208 patients were diagnosed with chordoma over the study period: 97 patients with skull base chordoma, 37 with mobile spine chordoma, and 65 with sacropelvic chordoma. A total of 133 patients were treated with either open or endoscopic surgery, of whom 99 were also treated with some form of radiation therapy. Across the 17-year study period, the average annual age-standardized incidence was 12.04 cases per 10 million (95% CI 9.31–14.78 cases per 10 million). There was no significant change in the annual incidence rate over the study period (average annual percent change 2.27, 95% CI −1.74 to 6.44; p = 0.25). The odds of receiving radiation therapy or chemotherapy significantly increased by 8% per year (95% CI 1%–16% per year, p = 0.036) over the study period. The odds of receiving open resection significantly decreased by 14% per year (95% CI 8%–20% per year, p < 0.001). The odds of receiving endoscopic surgery among patients with skull base chordoma increased by 38% per year (95% CI 22%–60% per year, p < 0.001), while the odds of patients receiving biopsy alone did not change significantly over the study period (p = 0.684). After diagnosis of chordoma, the 5-, 10-, and 15-year overall survival probabilities were 0.74 (95% CI 0.69–0.81), 0.58 (95% CI 0.51–0.67), and 0.48 (95% CI 0.40 to 0.59), respectively. There was no significant association between hazard of death and year of diagnosis (p = 0.126) or anatomical location (p = 0.712, skull base vs mobile spine chordoma; p = 0.518 skull base vs sacropelvic chordoma).

CONCLUSIONS
Chordoma is a rare disease with no significant change in the average annual incidence rate between 2003 to 2019. During this time, treatment with less invasive modalities increased, particularly for skull base chordoma. Overall survival exceeds 10 years for many patients, with no change in the hazard of death across the study period.

Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE
Epilepsy is commonly associated with low-grade gliomas (LGGs), impacting patients’ well-being. While resection is the primary treatment, seizures can persist postoperatively in 27%–55% of cases. The authors aimed to evaluate an electrocorticography (ECoG) and navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS)–tailored supratotal resection (ETT-SpTR) for LGG in controlling seizures, preserving neurological function, and enhancing treatment effectiveness.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively analyzed a prospectively enrolled cohort of patients with LGG presenting with epileptic seizures with ictal/interictal activity on electroencephalography (EEG) who underwent resective surgery. The authors performed preoperative nTMS to identify functional cortical areas. ECoG was used to guide the removal of the high-risk epilepsy cortical areas (HREAs). Patients were divided into two groups: group I, the control group, underwent gross-total resection alone, whereas group II patients underwent removal of HREAs identified by ECoG (ETT-SpTR). Resection avoided functionally eloquent areas as identified on nTMS, checked with cortical mapping. Postoperative seizure outcome was assessed using the Engel classification.

RESULTS
Fifteen patients who underwent LGG resection between January and July 2023 were included. Among 24 identified nTMS-positive points, none were included in the resection. Overall, 73.3% of patients (11/15) showed positive intraoperative ECoG, with better outcomes in group II (85.7% Engel class IA) than in group I (25% Engel class IA) at the follow-up (p = 0.02, OR 0.5 [95% CI 0.035–7.10], RR 0.19 [95% CI 0.03–1.2]). Seizure control was significantly better in group II, with no notable differences in postoperative transient neurological deficits between the two groups (p = 0.45). No permanent neurological deficits were observed during follow-up. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS
This preliminary study affirms the predictive value of TMS for postoperative neurological status and safety in epileptic patients. Intraoperative ECoG effectively identified peritumoral HREAs. ETT-SpTR significantly improved epileptic outcomes, preserving functions without permanent neurological worsening. Additional resection targets the HREAs in the temporal, frontal, and parietal lobes.
Wartime penetrating traumatic brain injury of the anterior skull base involving the paranasal sinuses: a single-center, first-year experience from Dnipro, Ukraine
Authors: Sirko Andrii , Berlin Connor , Tsang Siny , Naik Bhiken I. , Armonda Rocco 
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE
Since February 2022, the number of casualties in the Russian-Ukrainian war have dramatically increased, with a high incidence of penetrating traumatic brain injuries (pTBIs). To date, there has been limited evaluation of pTBI of the anterior skull base involving the paranasal sinuses. The objective of this study was to highlight the authors’ experience with this injury pattern and identify specific factors associated with favorable short-term (1-month) outcome and survival.

METHODS
The authors conducted a single-institution retrospective review of patient data collected from the 1st year of the Russian-Ukrainian war at a frontline civilian Ukrainian hospital. To prevent complications from conservative treatment of pTBI with paranasal sinus injury, a protocol of early primary neurosurgical treatment including debridement/hematoma evacuation, repair of dural defects with vascularized pericranial flaps, and titanium plating of external/skull base defects was implemented. Using 1-month postoperative Glasgow Outcome Scale scores, the authors defined a favorable outcome as good recovery/moderate disability and a poor outcome as severe disability/vegetative state/death. Patient demographics, injury characteristics, imaging findings, and postoperative complications were assessed. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the effect of patient characteristics on unfavorable outcome or survival.

RESULTS
From February 2022 to February 2023, there were 141 pTBIs (20%) involving the paranasal sinuses, 134 (95%) due to blast fragmentation. One hundred eighteen patients (84%) had a favorable outcome. Most patients with pTBIs (69%) had other nonbrain-related injuries. While 48 patients (34%) presented with preoperative CSF leak, only 1 patient (0.7%) had persistent postoperative CSF leak, which was managed with lumbar drainage. High admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, favorable injury lateralization (single hemisphere involved), and low Injury Severity Score (ISS) were associated with significantly increased odds of favorable short-term outcome, whereas high admission GCS scores and no midline shift were associated with significantly increased odds of survival.

CONCLUSIONS
This was the largest single-year study on neurosurgical treatment of wartime pTBI involving the paranasal sinuses. Implementation of primary neurosurgical intervention at the time of presentation demonstrated promising early results and a shift away from expectant management of this injury pattern. The association of high admission GCS score, low ISS, favorable injury lateralization, and no midline shift on favorable short-term outcomes or survival has not been previously documented with this injury pattern.
Could indirect decompression occur for cord compression by the ligamentum flavum with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion?
Authors: Lee Dong-Ho , Park Sehan , Hwang Chang Ju , Cho Jae Hwan 
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE
Cord compression by the ligamentum flavum (CCLF) has been reported to adversely affect the clinical outcomes of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). While indirect decompression does occur for foraminal stenosis with ACDF, whether ACDF could improve CCLF with the distraction of disc space remains unclear. This study aimed to identify 1) whether indirect decompression occurs for CCLF with ACDF, and 2) risk factors that hinder the improvement of CCLF.

METHODS
This retrospective cohort study included 119 patients who underwent ACDF for the treatment of cervical myelopathy and CCLF was detected on preoperative MRI. Patients who demonstrated improvement in CCLF grade after ACDF were included in the improved group, while those who did not show improvement were classified as the unimproved group. Patient characteristics, cervical sagittal parameters, neck and arm pain visual analog scale score, and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score were assessed. A comparison between the improved and unimproved groups was performed. Regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with CCLF grade improvement.

RESULTS
Overall, 58.0% (69/119) of patients showed improvement in CCLF grade after ACDF. CCLF grade did not improve in the remaining 42.0% (50/119) of patients, and 3.4% (4/119) of patients experienced aggravation of CCLF after ACDF. Preoperative spondylolisthesis (OR 0.252, 95% CI 0.090–0.711; p = 0.009) and greater segmental lordosis 3 months postoperatively (OR 0.835, 95% CI 0.731–0.953; p = 0.008) were the factors that hindered the improvement of CCLF after ACDF. Furthermore, patients with higher pre- or postoperative CCLF grades showed significantly less improvement in JOA score 2 years postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONS
Indirect decompression for CCLF with ACDF is not reliable because 42.0% of patients did not demonstrate improvement in CCLF grade after the operation. Preoperative spondylolisthesis and postoperative increased segmental lordosis were risk factors for failure of CCLF improvement. Both pre- and postoperative higher CCLF grades were associated with poor neurological recovery 2 years postoperatively.
