Study of serum magnesium levels in diabetes mellitus and its correlation with complications (retinopathy and HbA1c) a cross-sectional study of one year
Authors: Saproo Nipun , Singh Roma 
Published: January 2017

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbance of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. The aim of this study was to estimate serum magnesium levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and correlate it with complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus - glycemic control and retinopathy.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes, attending Government Medical College and associated Hospital, Jammu over a period of one year from 1st November, 2014 to 30th October, 2015. Detailed history including duration of diabetes, treatment mode, symptoms suggestive of retinopathy and associated diseases such as hypertension and ischemic heart disease were obtained, as per the proforma, followed by physical examination.Results: Majority of patients (38%) of type-2 diabetes mellitus were in the age group of 51-60 years. Males constituting 71% with male to female ratio of 2.45:1. Complications were observed in 48 cases, which mainly included retinopathy 60.42% (all non-proliferative). Maximum patients (79%) had abnormal (>6.5%) glycosylated hemoglobin levels ranging from 6.5 to 12%. Patients with diabetic retinopathy had significantly higher prevalence of hypomagnesaemia compared to patients without retinopathy (58.62 % vs 18.31%).Conclusions: Prevalence of hypomagnesaemia in type 2 diabetes was 30% in the present study. The present study illustrates that as the magnesium level decreases in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, prevalence of retinopathy increases.

Published: January 2017

Background: HIV affects virtually all organ systems in the body. Pulmonary disease is one of the most frequent complications of HIV infection. It is found in mostly married, young and middle aged, urban poor with male preponderance and heterosexual and blood transfusion being the commonest source of infection. Prompt diagnosis and early management may hasten the clinical recovery and reduce the risk and severity of toxic drug effects. Moreover knowledge regarding the incidence and early manifestations may help in developing strategies regarding prophylactic therapy of various infections of respiratory system. Aim of this study was to find the Incidence, occurrence and pattern of respiratory infections in HIV infected patients, use of various drugs used and response of therapy in respiratory infections and to study impact of HAART in PLHA with respiratory infection. Methods: Fifty HIV infected patients showing clinical evidence of respiratory system involvement and admitted in our hospital from May 2014 to November 2015 were studied in present study. Clinical history was noted and detailed physical examination, laboratory evaluation and specialized tests were carried out in all patients looking especially for presence of associated opportunistic infections in other systems.Results: Cough and dyspnea were the prominent respiratory symptoms and commonest sign was consolidation (42%) and effusion (24%) or no respiratory signs (26%).Tuberculosis (66%) followed by bacterial pneumonia (24%) including recurrent bacterial pneumonia (6%), PCP (8%) and fungal infection (2%), were the commonest respiratory manifestations. Commonest organisms isolated in bacterial pneumonia were Streptococcus Pneumonia, Staph aureus and Klebsiella. Incidence of pulmonary TB was 66%. PCP was found in 8% of cases. HAART combination of lamivudine, stavudine and nevirapine were found efficacious, safe and well tolerated when combined with other antibiotics and/or AKT.Conclusions: Heterosexual exposure (70%) and blood borne infection (18%) were commonest route of infection. Fever and weight loss was commonest presenting constitutional symptoms and all patients either belonged to B or C category.

Authors: Jain Cheeni , Jain Vivek Kumar , Mogra N. 
Published: January 2017

Background: Prevalence estimates available for brain tumors reflect the portion of tumors that are malignant. Just as routine incidence statistics from cancer registries under represent the full spectrum of primary brain tumor cases. Prevalence rates are ideally suited to provide an overall estimate of cancer survivorship and direction for health planning.Methods: A total of 70 cases of CNS tumors were retrieved from the archives of the Department of Pathology, Geetanjali Medical College & hospital, Udaipur from April 2014 to September 2016. The diagnoses in all the cases were made on histological examination of processed tissue.Results: In our study astrocytoma was the most common brain tumor (34.28%), followed by meningioma (32.85%). The third common tumor was oligodendroglioma (11. 42%). However, metastatic brain tumors were seen in only 5.55 % of cases in the present study.Conclusions: Males were at higher risk of developing CNS lesions in comparison to females. WHO Grade I lesions were more common in our institutional set up. Astrocytoma WHO grade IV lesions were more common in comparison to Grade I lesions, indicating need for imaging and neurology consultation at primary grass root level.
De espaço público a organismo governamental: transmutações de mecanismos de participação popular
Authors: Rodrigues Melânia Mendonça 
Published: January 2017

Buscando articular história e políticas educacionais, o trabalho aborda a temática da democratização da gestão educacional, tratando, mais especificamente, da instauração de mecanismos de participação da sociedade civil na gestão de sistemas de ensino. Adotando uma abordagem histórico-dialética, o artigo apresenta relatos de experiências de implementação, por governos subnacionais, de mecanismos de participação popular na tomada de decisões referentes à política educacional, em dois momentos históricos distintos – o início da década de 1980 e o princípio dos anos 2000. Evidenciando as fragilidades das experiências pioneiras e analisando a implementação do Fórum Municipal de Educação de João Pessoa-PB, à luz das categorias de mudança pelo alto e transformismo, o trabalho considera que a regressão observada nesse Fórum indica a pertinência da discussão acerca das potencialidades da ação política no âmbito da sociedade burguesa, assim como a atualidade das formulações gramscianas relativas à guerra de posições.
Mundialização do capital e ciência: elementos da teoria do valor de Marx para o debate sobre o trabalho do professor pesquisador em ciência & tecnologia
Authors: Silva Eduardo Pinto e , Sacramento Leonardo 
Published: January 2017

Objetiva-se neste artigo fornecer elementos teóricos para o debate sobre o caráter do trabalho de professores de universidades públicas que empreendem pesquisa científica aplicada. Para isso, faz-se uma breve análise histórica e contemporânea da relação entre produção, valorização do capital e ciência com base, respectivamente, nas proposições de Marx em sua teoria do valor e nos conceitos propostos por Chesnais de “externalidade” e “internalização das externalidades”. Argumenta-se sobre a necessidade de utilização da obra marxiana e de suas releituras para se compreender ontologicamente o papel da ciência e do trabalho do professor pesquisador em Ciência & Tecnologia no atual estágio da produção e desenvolvimento das forças produtivas do capital. Aponta-se para a imprescindibilidade da teoria do valor e da discussão da mundialização do capital para a problematização sobre o caráter produtivo ou improdutivo do trabalho imaterial hiperqualificado do professor pesquisador.
Revisitando a história da educação popular no Brasil: em busca de um outro mundo possível
Authors: Pereira Dulcinéia de Fátima Ferreira , Pereira Eduardo Tadeu 
Published: January 2017

Por meio da retrospectiva histórica da Educação popular no Brasil, o presente artigo pretende reafirmar seu papel transformador do contexto de globalização da exclusão, no qual vivemos atualmente, pois se acredita que a Educação popular pode reacender a “chama da esperança” nas classes populares. Esta análise se inicia no final dos anos 40, período em que os ideais democráticos se expandem pela sociedade brasileira, passando pelos anos 50 e 60, quando surgem as ideias de Paulo Freire, que deram origem ao trabalho da Educação popular e que, mais tarde, se transformariam em um marco nas idéias pedagógicas no Brasil e no mundo. Foram também analisados os movimentos de resistência nos anos 70, o retorno à mobilização popular nos anos 80 e as consequências das políticas neoliberais instaladas no Brasil nos anos 90. Identifica-se, por fim, o novo cenário do século XXI, que apresenta à Educação popular seus desafios e a possibilidades neste tempo de transição paradigmática: trata-se de reacender a “chama da esperança”, resgatando a participação social das classes populares, rumo à construção de uma sociedade mais justa e mais humana.
Educação e ontologia marxiana
Authors: Tonet Ivo 
Published: January 2017

Esse texto pressupõe que o pensamento de Marx tem uma impostação ontológica. Por isso mesmo, defende a ideia de que uma teoria geral do ser social (ontologia) deve preceder e embasar a reflexão sobre a problemática da educação. Isto porque a educação é apenas uma das dimensões do ser social, de modo que o seu sentido mais pleno só pode ser evidenciado na medida em que for apreendida sua função na reprodução deste ser.

Published: January 2017

Ekspansi pertumbuhan ekonomi diprakirakan masih akan berlanjut di triwulan IV-2007. Pertumbuhan ekonomi secara tahunan pada triwulan IV-2007 diprakirakan akan tumbuh sebesar 6,5%. 6,5%. Meningkatnya konsumsi swasta serta ekspor menjadi faktor utama pendorong tumbuhnya perekonomian. Akselerasi pertumbuhan konsumsi swasta terutama dipengaruhi oleh perbaikan daya beli masyarakat dan membaiknya optimisme konsumen. Sementara itu, investasi juga diprakirakan akan tumbuh lebih tinggi. Meningkatnya permintaan, baik domestik maupun eksternal, merupakan faktor utama pendorong ekspansi investasi. Namun pertumbuhan investasi yang lebih tinggi terkendala oleh iklim investasi yang belum sepenuhnya kondusif dan sentimen bisnis yang belum sepenuhnya pulih. Peningkatan juga terjadi pada kinerja ekspor yang didorong oleh tingginya permintaan eksternal dan masih tingginya harga komoditas global. Di sisi penawaran, seiring dengan tingginya pertumbuhan konsumsi swasta dan ekspor, sektor industri pengolahan, sektor perdagangan serta sektor pengangkutan dan komunikasi diprakirakan akan mencatat pertumbuhan yang tinggi. Namun demikian, pada triwulan IV-2007 terdapat risiko yang dapat memperlambat pertumbuhan ekonomi yaitu berupa kenaikan harga minyak dunia dan masih berlanjutnya dampak kasus sub prime mortgage Amerika Serikat.

PEMODELAN KURVA IMBAL HASIL OBLIGASI KORPORASI RATING AA DAN A DENGAN NELSON SIEGEL SVENSSON DAN CUBIC SPLINE SMOOTHING
Authors: Permatasari Denny , Iriawan Nur 
Published: January 2017

Bond is one of commercial instrument that influence economic sector in Indonesia. Bond transaction can't be made in the market directly, but it has been traded through securities. On average, there are only few bond transactions with the various market prices. Benchmarking is, therefore, needed to be created to determining bond price through yield curve. Through yield curve, the relation between yield of bond with same credit risk (rating) and different time to maturity can be seen. This research is conducted by employing time to maturity to model the yield of some selected corporate bonds with rating of AA and A. Two methods, Nelson Siegel Svensson (NSS) method couple with Levenberg-Marquardt optimization and Cubic Spline Smoothing (CSS) are employed here. These two methods have been applied to data from Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) ranging September to November 2008. The results show that CSS give smallest RMSE and MAE. In contrast, Nelson Siegel Svensson reports a model which more parsimony, more easily to be explained, and more adaptable to keep upfoward maturity than CSS. This research takes into account that NSS is better to be to model corporate bonds yield curve than CSS. Another importance conclusion that can be gather is that corporate bonds (with rating of AA and A) yield are hang about under IGSYC in certain period. Its means, that corporate bond market in Indonesia is not good for investment comparing to government bond.
FINANCIAL CRISIS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD - POST THE US "ASSET PRICE BUBBLE DEBACLE" - A NEW WAY FORWARD
Authors: Chakraborty Ms. Sagarika , Banerjee Mr. Soumya 
Published: January 2017

This paper analyze how we should respond to possible asset price bubbles, especially in view of the various conceptual frameworks proposed based on a core set of scientific principles for monetary policy. Further, efforts have also been made at my end to establish as to how Monetary policy should not react to asset price bubbles per se, but rather to changes in the outlook for inflation and aggregate demand resulting from asset price movements. However, regulatory policies and supervisory practices should respond to possible asset price bubbles and help prevent feedback loops between asset price bubbles and credit provision, thereby minimizing the damaging effects of bubbles on the economy.The general massage of this paper is that credit conditions influence economies enormously and emergency steps to restructure balance sheets through policy revamping are crucial for fixing problems of excessive leverage. This stands in sharp contrast to the view from conventional models - that 'the effects of a worsening of financial intermediation are likely to be limited' and can be handled by interest rate cuts alone.In the alternative regulatory policy approach, we have strived to examine three possible regulatory responses to managing bubbles: portfolio restrictions; adjustments in capital requirements; and adjustments in provisioning requirements.JEL Classification: E58, E63, G15Keywords:financial crisis, asset price bubble.
FINANCIAL CRISIS, IMF, AND BANK EFFICIENCY: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM THE ASEAN-4 BANKING SECTORS
Authors: Sufian Fadzlan , Habibullah Muzafar Shah 
Published: January 2017

Despite its severity and deep influence on both the real and financial sectors, empirical evidence on the evolution of the performance of the ASEAN-4 banking sectors since the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis is relatively scarce. By employing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach the present study examines for the first time the impact of the Asian financial crisis on the efficiency of the ASEAN-4 countries banking sectors. This study focuses on two major approaches vis. intermediation and revenue approaches. The empirical findings suggest that the estimates of technical efficiency are consistently higher under the revenue approach. We find that banks are relatively inefficient in a more concentrated banking market. However, when we control for countries that participate in IMF program, the concentration ratio exhibits a positive relationship with bank efficiency levels, implying that the more concentrated banking system which participates in IMF program is relatively more efficient in their intermediation function during the post crisis period.

Published: January 2017

The government is continuously formulating some policies in order to boast economic growth and downsize poverty rate. However, the government is facing some obstacles such as an increasingly in budget deficit which is potentially impacting to the determining of priority scale as well as the pro and contra within it. Based on that consideration, economic policy is needed to be revised and redesigned in order to meet the need of pro growth, pro job, and pro poor. Generally, this research aims to examine the impact of an expansion and contraction of fiscal policy measures on Indonesia economic performance. For the purpose of this study, the change of macro economic indicators, economic sector performance, and the change of poverty and income distribution are examined using the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. In order to evaluate the disparity of income distribution, beta distribution function is used which is adopted from Decaluwe, et al. (1999). This study employs Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke (F-G-T) and Cockburn (2001) methods to evaluate poverty (poverty incidence) on each household group. The results of this study show that the impact of an increase in subsidy is more favourable than two others fiscal policy measures. Even though the policy of transfer income gives a positive impact for the upsizing of rural household income and the downsizing in poverty, but on the other hand it has negative impact on others household income which aggregately has a negative impact on the decreasing of GDP.

DO REGIONAL TRADE AREAS IMPROVE EXPORT COMPETITIVENESS? - A CASE OF INDONESIA
Authors: Widyasanti Amalia Adininggar 
Published: January 2017

Indonesia has involved in quite many regional trade agreements, since more than a decade ago. Theoritically, Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are very beneficial to the countries, as resources are more efficiently allocated due to production specialization. However, presence of asymmetric information, market inefficiency, and economic distortion in the real world have led to a deviation of FTAs benefits from its theoritical framework. This paper studies whether Indonesian export competitiveness is improving after Indonesia involves in ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) and ASEAN-Cina Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA). Export competitiveness are measured by some trade indicators, such as: trade intensity index, market share, export product dynamics, and RCA, for some Indonesian main export products. The indices are compared across ASEAN countries and Cina to reveal: (i) which products are gaining or losingcompetitiveness in ASEAN and Cina markets; and (ii) which countries are becoming Indonesian main competitors in ASEAN and Cina markets. Additionally, this paper ends up with some policy recommendations that Indonesia should undertake to improve competitiveness of its products in ASEAN and Cina markets.JEL Classification: R11, F16Keywords: FTA, export competitiveness, Indonesia
THE DYNAMICS OF MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY AND THE RESPONSE TOWARD BUSINESS CYCLE
Authors: Kurniati Yati , Yanfitri Yanfitri 
Published: January 2017

The role of the manufacturing industry in the economy has expanded significantly from 19 percent in 1990 to 26 percent in 2009, while its labor absorption only increased from 10 percent to 12.2 percent. The cycle of the manufacturing industry has been in line with the economic growth. This study explores the implications of the firm-level heterogeneity over the business cycle. By using the panel multinomial logit, it shows that firms with less capital and small size have greater probability to exit the industry during the boom/ bust period. Sensitivity of the company to changes in capital is greater during the boom period. Only highly productive firms enter and begin production during recessions. Companies with higher productivity rate also have greater probability to enter the market. In contrast, higher production cost and higher market concentration increase the probability for smaller companies to exit from the industry.JEL Classification: : D24, L6, E32Keywords: Production, Cost, Capital and Total Factor Productivity, Industry Studies Manufacturing, Business Fluctuations/cycles

Published: January 2017

The main objective of this study is to measure the persistence of inflation level in Jakarta. In addition, this study intends to find out the source of inflation persistence and its implication to regional inflation control. The analysis of the regional inflation behavior developed in this paper is explored to commodities level. The empirical result indicates that the level of inflation persistence in Jakarta is relatively high, stemmed from high level of inflation persistance for most of commodities that construct inflation. Using the estimation results of the hybrid NKPC model, it shows that high inflation persistence in Jakarta mainly caused by inflation expectation, which is a combination of forward and backward looking. In this regards, it requires efforts gradually transform the behavior of inflation expectation to be more forward looking.

Published: January 2017

Bank runs and banking crisis has been a global cycling phenomenon both in developed and developing countries. This paper provide comprehensive analysis of the bank run determinant in Indonesia, including the economic fundamental, bank performance and self fulfilling prophecy during the period of 1990-2005, using the dynamic panel estimation of Arrelano-Bond. The Result shows that the self-fulfilling prophecy, bank performance (rentability, non performing loan) and macroeconomic condition (output growth, inflation and real interest rate), determine the bank runs in Indonesia. This conclusion is robust both for the sample period of 1997-1998 and 1990-2005. Klasifikasi JEL: C29, C33, G21Keywords: Bank runs, banking crisis, dynamic panel estimation, Arrelano-Bond, Indonesia
