Revisiting Understanding of The Whistleblowing Concept In The Context of Indonesia
Authors: Nurhidayat Ilham , Kusumasari Bevaola 
Published: February 2018

The conduct of this study came in the backdrop of thinking of the need for opening a discussion for a more comprehensive and contextual concept of whistleblowing for Indonesia from the vantage point of existing theoretical perspectives, regulations and practices. There is a lot of misunderstanding and bias about the concept of whistleblowing in public and private organizations in Indonesia. This study is largely based on previous literature and observation of the implementation of whistleblowing system (WBS) in several institutions that the author considered credible enough to be best practices. The study used descriptive qualitative approach and used various reference sources that were drawn from library research. This research has produced several formulations. First, the synonym or equivalent phrase in the Indonesian language for the term whistleblower is Pengungkap dugaan kecurangan, (revealer of alleged fraud) and Pengungkap dugaan pelanggaraan (revealer of alleged violation) or Pengungkap dugaan perbuatan tidak benar (wrongdoing) (revealer of alleged wrongdoing). Secondly, the most appropriate equivalence to the phrase whistleblowing system (WBS) in the context of Indonesia is “Sistem Pengungkapan Dugaan Pelanggaran” (alleged violation disclosure system). Third, the object of the report or complaints of whistleblowing (wrongdoing) is classifying into seventeen types of behavior that are in turn categorized into seven groups. WBS development and implementation in a number of government and private sector institutions emphasize seven key points. Research findings fill a mainstream research gap on whistleblowing in Indonesia, which has for long been plagued by misunderstanding between WBS and complaints handling system that is evident in several institutions and government agencies in Indonesia. The expectation is that research results will make some contribution to government policy making in the realm of whistleblowing system by providing a definition that is in line with the initial conception of the concept of whistleblowing. That way, this research is expected to contribute to the development of a more effective policy and WBS that not only protects the whistleblower but also pays attention ethics, culture, and local context in Indonesia which are different from the countries where the concept of whistleblowing had its origins.

Abstract
This study is focused on the inhomogeneity and local heterogeneity of the particle size distributions (PSD) of granular backfilling materials (eolian sands and loess) from western mines of China under overburden strata loads. The multi-fractal spectrum and variations in corresponding parameters of PSD of granular backfilling materials were obtained under different loads using a laser particle size analyzer and an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The results indicated that the load had negligible effects on the multi-fractal characteristics of PSD of eolian sand. There were no significant variations in the capacity dimension D(0), the information entropy dimension D(1) and the bandwidth of the multi-fractal spectra (Δα) as a function of the load. In contrast, the load significantly affected the multi-fractal characteristics of the PSD of loess, and D(0), D(1) and Δα increased and then decreased (maximized at 2 MPa) as the load increased. Furthermore, there was a correlation between structural morphology parameters and multi-fractal parameters in the particle breakage process, which demonstrated that D(0), D(1) and Δα of PSD of granular backfilling materials could effectively reflect the particle breakage and the change of structural morphology parameters of backfilling materials under different loads.

OBJECTIVETranscranial magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound surgery (tcMRgFUS) is one of the emerging noninvasive technologies for the treatment of neurological disorders such as essential tremor (ET), idiopathic asymmetrical tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD), and neuropathic pain. In this clinical series the authors present the preliminary results achieved with the world’s first tcMRgFUS system integrated with a 1.5-T MRI unit.METHODSThe authors describe the results of tcMRgFUS in a sample of patients with ET and with PD who underwent the procedure during the period from January 2015 to September 2017. A monolateral ventralis intermedius nucleus (VIM) thalamic ablation was performed in both ET and PD patients. In all the tcMRgFUS treatments, a 1.5-T MRI scanner was used for both planning and monitoring the procedure.RESULTSDuring the study period, a total of 26 patients underwent tcMRgFUS thalamic ablation for different movement disorders. Among these patients, 18 were diagnosed with ET and 4 were affected by PD. All patients with PD were treated using tcMRgFUS thalamic ablation and all completed the procedure. Among the 18 patients with ET, 13 successfully underwent tcMRgFUS, 4 aborted the procedure during ultrasound delivery, and 1 did not undergo the tcMRgFUS procedure after stereotactic frame placement. Two patients with ET were not included in the results because of the short follow-up duration at the time of this study. A monolateral VIM thalamic ablation in both ET and PD patients was performed. All the enrolled patients were evaluated before the treatment and 2 days after, with a clinical control of the treatment effectiveness using the graphic items of the Fahn-Tolosa-Marin tremor rating scale. A global reevaluation was performed 3 months (17/22 patients) and 6 months (11/22 patients) after the treatment; the reevaluation consisted of clinical questionnaires, neurological tests, and video recordings of the tests. All the ET and PD treated patients who completed the procedure showed an immediate amelioration of tremor severity, with no intra- or posttreatment severe permanent side effects.CONCLUSIONSAlthough this study reports on a small number of patients with a short follow-up duration, the tcMRgFUS procedure using a 1.5-T MRI unit resulted in a safe and effective treatment option for motor symptoms in patients with ET and PD. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first clinical series in which thalamotomy was performed using tcMRgFUS integrated with a 1.5-T magnet.

OBJECTIVEThe application of pharmacological therapeutics in neurological disorders is limited by the ability of these agents to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Focused ultrasound (FUS) has recently gained attention for its potential application as a method for locally opening the BBB and thereby facilitating drug delivery into the brain parenchyma. However, this method still requires optimization to maximize its safety and efficacy for clinical use. In the present study, the authors examined several sonication parameters of FUS influencing BBB opening in small animals.METHODSChanges in BBB permeability were observed during transcranial sonication using low-intensity FUS in 20 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. The authors examined the effects of FUS sonication with different sonication parameters, varying acoustic pressure, center frequency, burst duration, microbubble (MB) type, MB dose, pulse repetition frequency (PRF), and total exposure time. The focal region of BBB opening was identified by Evans blue dye. Additionally, H & E staining was used to identify blood vessel damage.RESULTSAcoustic pressure amplitude and burst duration were closely associated with enhancement of BBB opening efficiency, but these parameters were also highly correlated with tissue damage in the sonicated region. In contrast, MB types, MB dose, total exposure time, and PRF had an influence on BBB opening without conspicuous tissue damage after FUS sonication.CONCLUSIONSThe study aimed to identify these influential conditions and provide safety and efficacy values for further studies. Future work based on the current results is anticipated to facilitate the implementation of FUS sonication for drug delivery in various CNS disease states in the near future.

OBJECTIVERebleeding remains a frequent and catastrophic event leading to poor outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Reduced platelet function after the initial bleed is associated with higher risk of early rebleeding. Desmopressin (DDAVP) is a well-known hemostatic agent, and recent guidelines already suggest its use in individuals exposed to antiplatelet drugs. The authors hypothesized that DDAVP administration in patients with SAH at admission would be associated with lower risks of rebleeding.METHODSThe authors performed an observational cohort study of patients enrolled in the Columbia University SAH Outcome Project between August 1996 and July 2015. The authors compared the rate of rebleeding between patients who were and those who were not treated with DDAVP. After adjustment for known predictors, logistic regression was used to measure the association between treatment with DDAVP and risks of rebleeding.RESULTSAmong 1639 patients with SAH, 12% were treated with DDAVP. The main indication for treatment was suspected exposure to an antiplatelet agent. The overall incidence of rebleeding was 9% (1% among patients treated with DDAVP compared with 8% among those not treated). After adjustment for antiplatelet use and known predictors, treatment with DDAVP was associated with a 45% reduction in the risks of rebleeding (adjusted OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.27–0.97). DDAVP was associated with a higher incidence of hyponatremia but not with thrombotic events or delayed cerebral ischemia.CONCLUSIONSTreatment with DDAVP was associated with a lower risk of rebleeding among patients with SAH. These findings support further study of DDAVP as first-line therapy for medical hemostasis in patients with SAH.
Les Salyens : faciès culturels et populations

The Salyens : cultural faciès and populations.
The nature of the territory and the ethnic origins of the Salyens have always produced a large number of hypotheses ; many of the ancient accounts remain ambiguous. However, the comparison of these accounts with new archaeological evidence allows us to propose new interpretations. In progressively studying architectural techniques, funerary rites and the material culture, we can distinguish two cultural spheres within the Aix basin. If at one level this bi-partition reflects the existence of two economically different zones, it also reflects a complicated cultural division ; divided between the Ligurians in the east and the celticised populations in the west. According to Strabon, it seems that the Salyens, of Ligurian origin, expanded their territory as far as the Rhône in Provence during the later Iron Age.

Published: February 2018

Background and objective Elevated pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been associated with higher mortality in the general population, chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and hemodialysis patients. However, in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, this association has received little attention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between baseline brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) levels and total mortality in PD patients. Methods In this single-center retrospective cohort study, 254 incident PD patients with baseline baPWV were followed up from 1 January 2013 to 31 July 2016. Collected baseline data included demographic characteristics and clinical and laboratory measurements. The association of baseline baPWV levels with total mortality was assessed using multivariable-adjusted Cox models. Results Of 254 patients, mean age was 61.4 (±15.3) years, 61.4% of patients were men, and 22.4% of patients were diabetic. The mean baseline baPWV level was 17.6 (±5.84) m/s. During a mean 31.5 (±20.8) month follow-up period, 45 patients died, of which 13 deaths were caused by cardiovascular disease. After adjusting for sex, age, blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), and hemoglobin, as well as serum albumin, calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), uric acid, and medication use, the highest baPWV tertile was significantly associated with a hazard ratio (HR) for total mortality of 2.97 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23 – 7.16; p = 0.02). Each 1 m/s higher baseline baPWV level was associated with a 7% (95% CI, 1.03 – 1.12; p = 0.001) higher risk of total mortality. In sensitivity analyses, individuals with baPWV > 21.0 m/s had the highest adjusted risk for total death (HR, 3.22; 95% CI, 1.71 – 6.08; p < 0.001). Conclusion Higher baseline baPWV levels at the commencement of PD were independently associated with total mortality, which suggests that clinicians could use baPWV as a predictor of higher risk of mortality in PD patients.

Published: February 2018

Background Refractory peritonitis is defined as failure of clearance of peritoneal fluid despite 5 days of appropriate antibiotic therapy. Catheter removal decreases morbidity and mortality. Data on the outcomes of refractory peritonitis and of reinitiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in this group of patients are sparse. The present study analyzed etiology, outcomes, and prognostic factors of refractory peritonitis as well as survival of the reinitiation of the technique. Methods This was a single-center retrospective study that included 90 patients of refractory continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) peritonitis at a tertiary care center in North India. We collected information regarding symptomatology, causes, prognostic factors, and outcomes of refractory peritonitis. Results Ninety patients suffered 93 episodes of refractory peritonitis. Fungal peritonitis was the most common cause of refractory peritonitis. Twenty nine (31%) episodes were culture- negative. We observed no difference between culture-positive and culture-negative peritonitis. Out of 90 patients, 54 (60%) recovered while 36 (40%) died. Septic shock at presentation alone was significantly associated with mortality in our study. The immediate mortality of refractory peritonitis is high. Even in patients who were shifted to permanent hemodialysis, 33% died in the first 3 months. Mean duration of technique survival after reinitiation was 23 months (1 – 85 months). Among the 12 patients who were reinitiated on CAPD, 5 patients had technique failure due to refractory peritonitis or ultrafiltration (UF) failure. Conclusion Refractory peritonitis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality despite catheter removal. Reinitiation is confounded by residual infection, which is a concern for poor technique survival, and high immediate mortality.
