Published: September 2024

The purpose of this article is to discuss the analysis and Sustainable Development Goals from an Islamic perspective, ideology and social ethos. The basis of the debate on sustainable development is to create conditions that balance the needs of present generations with the needs of future generations. Qualitative research methods were used in preparing this article. The type of research carried out is library research using data sources related to the writings of the Ringundan philosophers. Related works include magazines, articles, e-books, etc. The research results show that sustainable development is related to the principles of sustainable development and shows that the concepts developed by experts have their own weight and specificity. Apart from that, these concepts can show a way out of the current global environmental crisis. From an identity perspective, sustainable development cannot be separated from its monotheistic foundation. Sustainable development is still a dilemma for environmental observers, and the analysis carried out shows that the emergence of the concept of sustainable development cannot be separated from modernity and all the problems associated with it. Mapping the concept, sustainable development can be categorized into a constructive postmodernist model.
Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk membahas analisis dan Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan dari perspektif Islam, ideologi dan etos sosial. Dasar perdebatan mengenai pembangunan berkelanjutan adalah menciptakan kondisi yang menyeimbangkan kebutuhan generasi sekarang dengan kebutuhan generasi mendatang. Metode penelitian kualitatif digunakan dalam mempersiapkan artikel ini. Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian kepustakaan dengan menggunakan sumber data yang berkaitan dengan tulisan para filosof Ringundan. Karya-karya terkait antara lain majalah, artikel, e-book, dll. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembangunan berkelanjutan berkaitan dengan prinsip-prinsip pembangunan berkelanjutan dan menunjukkan bahwa konsep-konsep yang dikembangkan oleh para ahli mempunyai bobot dan kekhususan tersendiri. Selain itu, konsep-konsep tersebut dapat menunjukkan jalan keluar dari krisis lingkungan global yang terjadi saat ini. Dari perspektif identitas, pembangunan berkelanjutan tidak dapat dipisahkan dari landasan monoteistiknya. Pembangunan berkelanjutan masih menjadi dilema bagi para pemerhati lingkungan hidup, dan analisis yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa munculnya konsep pembangunan berkelanjutan tidak lepas dari modernitas dan segala permasalahan yang terkait dengannya. Memetakan konsepnya, pembangunan berkelanjutan dapat dikategorikan ke dalam model postmodernis yang konstruktif

Pendahuluan. Emboli paru (EP) merupakan kondisi serius yang sering terjadi pada pasien dengan kanker, seperti adenokarsinoma paru, dan penyakit paru obstruktif kronis (PPOK). Faktor risiko untuk EP termasuk imobilisasi, kemoterapi, dan kondisi hiperkoagulasi yang diinduksi oleh tumor. Diagnosis cepat dengan skoring Wells dan Geneva, serta konfirmasi dengan CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA), sangat penting. Elektrokardiogram (EKG) dan ekokardiografi juga membantu dalam mengevaluasi kondisi jantung terkait, seperti hipertensi pulmonal. Kasus ini bertujuan untuk mempresetansi kasus emboli paru pada adenokarsinoma paru kanan beserta penanganannya. Ilustrasi Kasus. Seorang wanita berusia 54 tahun dengan PPOK dan adenokarsinoma paru kanan T4N3M1a stage IVA PS ECOG 1 mengeluhkan sesak napas, nyeri dada, dan batuk hilang timbul selama satu tahun. Pemeriksaan menunjukkan takikardia, takipneu, leukositosis, peningkatan trombosit dan D-dimer, serta indikasi EP dan hipertensi pulmonal dari radiologi dan ekokardiografi. Kesimpulan. Kasus ini menyoroti pentingnya evaluasi klinis dan diagnostik yang komprehensif dalam penanganan EP pada pasien dengan kanker paru dan PPOK untuk meningkatkan hasil klinis dan kualitas hidup pasien.

OBJECTIVE
Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is widely used for treating small- to medium-sized or postoperative residual, recurrent lower cranial nerve schwannomas (LCNSs). This study aimed to evaluate the radiographic and neurological outcomes of GKRS for LCNS.

METHODS
A total of 60 patients with 47 jugular foramen schwannomas (JFSs) and 13 hypoglossal nerve schwannomas (HNSs) who underwent GKRS were included. Dysphagia (40.4%) and hoarseness (23.4%) were the most common preexisting symptoms associated with JFS, whereas tongue deviation (53.8%) was prevalent in HNS. The median tumor volumes were 3.2 cm3 and 2.2 cm3 for JFSs and HNSs, respectively. The median marginal dose administered to the tumor was 13 Gy (range 12–15 Gy). The median follow-up duration was 52.8 months.

RESULTS
Local tumor control was achieved in 91.5% of JFSs and 92.3% of HNSs. The preexisting neurological symptoms improved in 48.9% of patients with JFS and remained stable in 29.8%. However, 10 patients (21.3%) experienced exacerbation of symptoms associated with cranial nerves VII, VIII, IX, X, and XI. Among these, 3 patients (6.4%) exhibited persistent symptomatic deterioration. Patients with HNSs demonstrated a stable trajectory without symptom aggravation. Larger tumor volume and cystic portion were significantly associated with tumor progression (p = 0.017 and 0.003, respectively), and post-GKRS transient swelling was associated with neurological deterioration (p = 0.044).

CONCLUSIONS
GKRS is an alternative treatment option for LCNS that reduces surgical morbidity and enhances tumor control. However, GKRS can potentially lead to neurological deterioration, necessitating extreme caution throughout the procedure, specifically for JFSs.

OBJECTIVE
The long-term effects of increased body mass index (BMI) on surgical outcomes are unknown for patients who undergo surgery for low-grade lumbar spondylolisthesis. The goal of this study was to assess long-term outcomes in obese versus nonobese patients after surgery for grade 1 spondylolisthesis.

METHODS
Patients who underwent surgery for grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the Quality Outcomes Database’s 12 highest enrolling sites (SpineCORe group) were identified. Long-term (5-year) outcomes were compared for patients with BMI ≥ 35 versus BMI < 35.

RESULTS
In total, 608 patients (57.6% female) were included. Follow-up was 81% (excluding patients who had died) at 5 years. The BMI ≥ 35 cohort (130 patients, 21.4%) was compared to the BMI < 35 cohort (478 patients, 78.6%). At baseline, patients with BMI ≥ 35 were more likely to be younger (58.5 ± 11.4 vs 63.2 ± 12.0 years old, p < 0.001), to present with both back and leg pain (53.8% vs 37.0%, p = 0.002), and to require ambulation assistance (20.8% vs 9.2%, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the cohort with BMI ≥ 35 had worse baseline patient-reported outcomes including visual analog scale (VAS) back (7.6 ± 2.3 vs 6.5 ± 2.8, p < 0.001) and leg (7.1 ± 2.6 vs 6.4 ± 2.9, p = 0.031) pain, disability measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) (53.7 ± 15.7 vs 44.8 ± 17.0, p < 0.001), and quality of life on EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) questionnaire (0.47 ± 0.22 vs 0.56 ± 0.22, p < 0.001). Patients with BMI ≥ 35 were more likely to undergo fusion (85.4% vs 74.7%, p = 0.01). There were no significant differences in 30- and 90-day readmission rates (p > 0.05).
Five years postoperatively, there were no differences in reoperation rates or the development of adjacent-segment disease for patients in either BMI < 35 or ≥ 35 cohorts who underwent fusion (p > 0.05). On multivariate analysis, BMI ≥ 35 was a significant risk factor for not achieving minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for VAS leg pain (OR 0.429, 95% CI 0.209–0.876, p = 0.020), but BMI ≥ 35 was not a predictor for achieving MCID for VAS back pain, ODI, or EQ-5D at 5 years postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONS
Both obese and nonobese patients benefit from surgery for grade 1 spondylolisthesis. At the 5-year time point, patients with BMI ≥ 35 have similarly low reoperation rates and achieve rates of satisfaction and MCID for back pain (but not leg pain), disability (ODI), and quality of life (EQ-5D) that are similar to those in patients with a BMI < 35.

OBJECTIVE
The genetic basis underlying the pathophysiology of quasi–moyamoya disease (qMMD) is unclear. Herein, the authors aimed to comprehensively analyze genetic variants in qMMD and investigate their association with clinical phenotypes, focusing on RNF213 and other moyamoya angiopathy (MMA)–related genes.

METHODS
The authors evaluated 14 consecutive cases of qMMD, whose underlying conditions included autoimmune disease, head irradiation, meningitis/pachymeningitis, and Turner syndrome, and 9 cases of hyperthyroidism-associated MMD (hMMD). The frequencies of RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys in qMMD and hMMD were each compared to those in healthy controls and in patients with MMD. Whole-exome sequencing was performed, and rare variants (RVs) or damaging variants were analyzed in RNF213 and 36 MMA-related genes.

RESULTS
The frequencies of p.Arg4810Lys were significantly higher in patients with qMMD (28.6%) and hMMD (33.3%) than in controls (1.1%; p < 0.001) and lower in the two former groups than in the MMD group (67.6%; p = 0.003 and 0.065, respectively). In qMMD, no significant clinical differences were observed based on the presence of p.Arg4810Lys. A novel RNF213 RV was identified in four cases with qMMD. These same cases also presented with significant worsening of intracranial main artery stenosis, which suggests a possible association between RNF213 RVs and the severe progression of qMMD. Among the 36 MMA-related genes, no variants correlated with specific phenotypes.

CONCLUSIONS
While the clinical implications of p.Arg4810Lys in cases with qMMD were not identified, the study findings suggest a potential association between RNF213 RVs and the significant progression of intracranial artery stenosis. Genetic analysis should not focus solely on p.Arg4810Lys but instead consider a comprehensive analysis of RNF213 for more accurate clinical prognostication of qMMD.
Is initial unilateral revascularization acceptable in pediatric patients with bilateral moyamoya disease with mild contralateral hemodynamic disturbance?
Authors: Kuroha Masae , Hara Shoko , Fujioka Mai , Inaji Motoki , Tanaka Yoji , Nariai Tadashi , Maehara Taketoshi 
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE
Although asymmetrical vascular involvement between hemispheres is common in pediatric patients with bilateral moyamoya disease, whether hemispheres with mild vascular changes and hemodynamic impairment require immediate surgical revascularization or whether they can be observed until disease progression remains unclear. The authors evaluated the long-term outcomes of their strategy to initially perform unilateral surgery and withhold surgery to the contralateral hemispheres with mild vascular changes and hemodynamic impairment.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively evaluated Japanese pediatric patients (onset age ≤ 15 years) diagnosed with bilateral sporadic moyamoya disease who underwent unilateral revascularization. The authors investigated whether the patient underwent additional collateral surgery and the incidence of ischemic events during follow-up. They also compared visual assessments of arterial spin labeling (ASL) images obtained before initial surgery, before additional contralateral surgery, and at last follow-up.

RESULTS
Overall, 30/47 patients (63.8%) experienced progression of hemodynamic impairment in the contralateral hemisphere and underwent additional surgery. The age at initial surgery of the patients who needed additional contralateral surgery was significantly younger than that of the patients who did not require contralateral surgery (mean [SD] 7.0 [3.0] years vs 9.8 [2.6] years, p = 0.002). One patient (age 4 years) developed ischemic stroke before admission for preoperative evaluation 2 months after novel symptom onset, and another patient (age 6 years) experienced ischemic stroke in the contralateral hemisphere while discontinuing antiplatelet agents before surgery; both patients fully recovered from the neurological deficits. In contralateral hemispheres that required additional surgery, the ASL visual assessment scores significantly decreased before the additional contralateral surgery compared to those obtained before the initial surgery (p = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONS
In pediatric patients with bilateral moyamoya disease, withholding surgery for hemispheres with mild vascular changes and hemodynamic impairment is generally safe. Younger patients were more likely to experience contralateral progression and require additional surgery, so close follow-up is needed. ASL imaging is useful for detecting and following the progression of hemodynamic impairment in conservatively treated hemispheres.
Study on the Historical Dynamics of the Medicine Buddha Sutra Illustrations based on Medicine Buddha Beliefs
Authors: Zhang Linwen 
Published: September 2024

A substantial portion of the murals and manuscripts housed in the Sutra Caves of Dunhuang is intimately tied to the cult of the Medicine Buddha. An examination of the Catalogue of Dunhuang Mogao Caves compiled by the Dunhuang Academy, alongside the New Catalogue of the Dunhuang Manuscripts edited by Huang Yongwu, reveals the presence of 295 texts pertaining to the Medicine Buddha, underscoring the prevalence of this belief system in Dunhuang. The popularity of the Medicine Buddha belief in the region emerged as a pivotal factor influencing the evolution of sutra illustrations’ content and form. The Medicine Buddha’s attributes of averting calamities, curing illnesses, and prolonging life—all catering to worldly aspirations—resonated deeply with people’s pursuit of immediate benefits in this life. This paper employs a multifaceted approach, encompassing documentary research, iconographic analysis, and comparative studies, to trace the historical trajectory and graphical transformations of the “Medicine Buddha Sutra Illustrations” (Yaoshijing Biantu), culminating in a comprehensive synthesis. Furthermore, by delving into the societal backdrop, the underlying economic underpinnings, and the evolving “compositional strategies” of these illustrations across various eras, we aim to present a holistic view of the dynamic development of the Medicine Buddha Sutra illustrations throughout time.
Effectiveness of Acupressure Therapy in Reducing Blood Pressure Hypertension sufferers
Authors: Winarto Edi 
Published: September 2024

Hypertension is a disease that causes complications in sufferers, thereby reducing the sufferer's quality of life. Increased blood pressure in hypertension sufferers can be controlled with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is using acupressure therapy. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of providing acupressure therapy in reducing blood pressure for hypertension sufferers in the Bukit Raya Village Sub-district Health Center Work Area, East Lampung. This research design is quantitative analytical with a Quasi-Experimental approach using a one group pretest and posttest design. The results of the research conducted showed that the average systolic blood pressure before acupuncture therapy was 168 with a standard deviation of 26.943. After therapy the average blood pressure value decreased to 122 with a standard deviation of 3.535. Meanwhile, the average diastolic blood pressure before acupressure therapy was 103 with a standard deviation of 11.18. After therapy the average blood pressure value decreased to 71 with a standard deviation of 2.204. Seeing the effectiveness of acupressure therapy in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients, this therapy can be applied as a non-pharmacological treatment for patients who experience high blood pressure.

BackgroundEncouraging positive parenting practices through evidence-based interventions is vital for the achievement of SDG target 16.2, which aims to eradicate all forms of violence against children while promoting their safety and mental wellbeing. As low- and middle- income countries increasingly adopt parenting programs, policymakers and implementers face the challenge of efficiently transporting, adapting, and implementing them across multiple settings.PurposeThis study seeks to evaluate the real-world experiences, challenges, and best practices in implementing parent support programs in Botswana.MethodA series of interviews with program implementers and stakeholders from governmental and non-governmental organizations were conducted. Key informants from governmental and non-governmental institutions were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling and 17 practitioners participated in the study. Data collection was carried out through online Zoom video conferencing at a convenient time and location for participants.FindingsThe findings indicate several factors that contribute to the successful implementation of parenting programs in Botswana, including (a) enabling factors such as supportive policies, regulations and guidelines, (b) innovative factors such as capacity building, program adaptation and mixed method program delivery, (c) bridging factors through collaborations with skilled organizations, and (d) intra-organizational factors such as organizational resources, program sustainability, and support for program staff.ConclusionNo single organization or strategy can sustainably foster positive parenting support in Botswana. Instead, a collective and collaborative learning approach is necessary to develop lasting and scalable solutions.

Introduction: Rugby sevens or 7s is a team sport, descended from rugby 15s or rugby union. It is considered a sport of high intensity and intermittent effort, where positions are very well defined but there is small between-athletes variability of physical characteristics. Objective: The goal of the study was to analyze the anthropometric characteristics, body composition, somatotype and proportionality in players of the Spanish rugby sevens team. Material and methods: Anthropometric variables were evaluated in 16 players in order to obtain information regarding body composition, somatotype and proportionality following the standard techniques proposed by the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). Results: The data obtained regarding height and weight, muscle percentage (45.05 ± 5.02), bone (16.25 ± 1.72) and fat percentage (7.98 ± 1.32) are comparable to the obtained information of rugby union players who play in the three quarters position. Participants were predominantly classified as balanced mesomorphs, which are characterized by increased skeletal muscle development. Discussion: Body composition as well as somatotype values are similar to other studies results according to elite athletes in intermittent sports that do not require high fat percentages. Conclusion: Despite being tall and with large body mass athletes, their high muscle percentage can provide this type of athlete greater power and speed, necessary to support the high demands of competition in this sport.

Introduction: Students spend most of their day at school sitting in their classroom furniture which is not quite the right size for students. This can be uncomfortable and even lead to back pain, leg cramps, and other problems. Method: Students’ body size for good posture while sitting, include popliteal to floor height, elbow to seat height, thigh thickness, sitting height, buttock to popliteal length, buttock to knee length, elbow to elbow breadth, the width of bitrochanter, subscapular height, and sitting shoulder height, and one standing is stature. Similarly, dimensions of chair-with-table, like seat height, the upper edge of the backrest, seat width, seat depth, table length, table width, table height, backrest height, and footrest currently used in the classroom were taken. The study compared students' anthropometry data with the furniture dimension data to obtain a match or mismatch between them with the help of standard mismatch equations. Results: The study reported that the mean body measurements of males are larger than females except for the width of bitrochanter. Seat width, seat depth, backrest height, and the upper edge of the backrest showed high mismatch percentages in students when patronising chairs. Table length reported high mismatch percentages among students. Conclusion: Using the users’ body sizes for furniture design will reduce musculoskeletal disorders and improve users’ sitting position. The recommended dimensions in furniture design will ergonomically fit students’ anthropometric measurements.
