Knowledge Contestation of Midwives and TBAS: Study of Patterns of Domination, Hybridization, and Coexistence in Childbirth
Authors: Tenri Andi , Adam Arlin , Alim Andi , Asrina Andi 
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the contestation between the medical knowledge of midwives and the local knowledge of traditional birth attendants in accompanying pregnant women to delivery in the Gowa Regency. We also investigate the contestation between the medical knowledge of midwives and the local knowledge of traditional birth attendants in postnatal and infant care.

Method: The research method uses a qualitative approach with case studies and data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation.

Results and conclusion: The results identified three patterns of knowledge contestation between midwives and shaman uncles, namely domination, hybridization, and coexistence. Domination occurs in the context of pregnancy, where the knowledge of the shaman Pamana dominates the midwife, while hybridization occurs during the delivery process with collaboration between the midwife and the shaman Pamana. The pattern of coexistence illustrates that the knowledge of midwives and shaman Pamana is present together without interfering with each other in postnatal care.

Research implications: This research is relevant to the maternal and newborn health system in Gowa Regency with the following implications: 1) Integration of medical and local knowledge is needed in the practice of midwives and birth attendants, emphasizing the need for holistic training for health service providers; 2) Collaboration between midwives and traditional birth attendants can improve the safety of mothers and babies; 3) Cultural awareness is important to improve quality of care; 4) Culturally sensitive practice guidelines are necessary for safe and effective practice; 5) Public advocacy and education can increase awareness of appropriate care.

Originality/value: This research reveals the dynamics of contestation between medical and local knowledge in maternal and neonatal health services, providing new insights into their interactions. These findings support the development of more effective interventions, contribute to the reproductive health literature, and provide insights for more inclusive policies.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Conduct a systematic review of psychosocial interventions in child labor, examining contributions from various researchers to understand the associated factors, effectiveness and approaches of these interventions. It seeks to contribute to the eradication of child labor by raising awareness and proposing effective actions to support minors exploited at work, focusing on the Ecuadorian context, where a significant increase in child labor has been recorded in recent years.

Methodology: The methodology involves a systematic review of studies on psychosocial intervention in child labor. Repositories such as Scielo and Scopus are explored, with articles since 2015, using keywords in Spanish, English and Portuguese. 36 articles are identified, of which 15 are selected for their relevance. The selection is based on criteria such as indexing in Scopus and Scielo, originality and thematic relevance.

Results: Child labor generates serious physical and mental health problems in minors. Psychosocial interventions must be comprehensive, restoring children's rights and involving the participation of the family, educators, communities and the State. An inclusive, co-responsible and respectful approach to local cultures is required to permanently eradicate child labor.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This research aimed to analyze the effect of tax culture on tax evasion by microentrepreneurs of the trade associations of the department of Tacna, southern Peru, during the post-COVID-19 period.

Method: The research is basic, descriptive, and relational. The survey technique was applied through the questionnaire instrument to 167 microentrepreneurs affiliated with the trade associations of the commercial area of the city of Tacna. The quantitative data analyzed by reports of the National Superintendence of Tax Administration (SUNAT) and Micro and Small Business (REMYPE), and the data processed in SPSS v.26.

Results and conclusion: The findings of this study are significant, revealing that forms of tax evasion are primarily related to hidden income and the issuance of payment vouchers. Notably, 68% of microentrepreneurs meet their obligations on time, while 22% submit their tax affidavits late. These results underscore the deficiency in the tax culture of the microenterprise sector, which is mainly due to the lack of interest in the training and advice of accounting professionals.

Research implications: It is evident that some taxpayers need to comply with their tax obligations, a crucial issue that needs to be addressed. The study highlights that the poor tax culture is associated with morals and ethics.
Originality/value: Good tax practices of microentrepreneurs contribute to the fulfillment of fiscal obligations in southern Peru.

Published: June 2024

Background: Preterm birth is a worldwide epidemic with a global incidence of (5%- 15%). It is important risk factor for perinatal morbidity and mortality.Calponin 1 is a basic smooth muscle protein that had biological process as actinomycin structure organization and regulation of contractile function. The uterus containing the largest volume of smooth muscle, myometrial destruction occurs when uterine contractions start leading to increased maternal serum calponin 1 levels.Aim of study: To investigate the level of serum calponin 1 in maternal blood as marker for prediction of short onset preterm labor with intact membrane within one week.Methods: A prospective observational study that collected in obstetrical department of the al-yarmouk hospital in cooperation with the laboratory department of hospital through the period from Feb till Dec 2019. It included 88 pregnant women between 28 – 36+6 gestational weeks admitted to the hospital diagnosed as threatened preterm labor. Follow up done with each participant admitted in hospital until the time of delivery to determine the gestational age at delivery and record the birth interval from blood sampling till delivery, Serum Calponin 1 level positive and negative predictive values were compared for the prediction of short onset preterm birth within seven days or moreResults: In this study, 73.9% of the study patients were delivered within one week after presentation. Mean of calponin 1 was significantly higher in study groups who delivered within one week than those who delivered after one week. Serum calponin 1 > 0.6 ng/ml is predictive for short onset preterm birthConclusion: Serum calponin 1 may play an important role at pregnancy as non-invasive predictor for short onset preterm labour in cases diagnosed as threatened preterm labourRecommendation Further larger prospective studies are needed larger sample size and longer duration to: confirm the standard diagnostic level of calponin 1 to diagnosis short onset preterm labour, perform antenatal checkup and testing by other modalities, take in consideration researches on the genetics or environmental factors (smoking) and their role in the development of preterm labour

Authors: Wardana Moch. Tirta , Kuntjoro Sunu 
Published: June 2024

Perairan pelabuhan Teluk Lamong Surabaya berpotensi terkontaminasi logam berat khususnya timbal (Pb) karena adanya pelabuhan dan sungai yang melintasi daerah industri bermuara di teluk Lamong. Kerang darah (Tegillarca granosa) yang hidup di perairan Teluk Lamongentan terpapar logam berat seperti Pb. Logam berat dapat terakumulasi dalam kerang darah, sehingga berguna sebagai bioindikator pencemaran logam berat dalam air. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis kadar Pb di air laut dan kerang darah pada perairan Teluk Lamong serta hubungan konsentrasi Pb dalam air dengan konsentrasi Pb yang terkandung pada kerang darah. Sampel diperoleh dari tiga stasiun sekitar pelabuhan Teluk Lamong. Sampel air diukur dengan parameter fisika-kimia. Analisis kadar Pb pada kerang darah serta air laut memakai metode AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry). Data diuji korelasi pearson untuk mengetahui korelasi konsentrasi Pb di air laut terhadap Tegillarca granosa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar Pb pada air laut sebesar 0,104 ± 0,011 ppm - 0,181 ± 0,012 ppm. Kadar Pb pada kerang darah sebesar 0,017 ± 0,005 ppm - 0,070 ± 0,009 ppm. Hubungan antara konsentrasi Pb pada air laut dengan kerang darah adalah berkorelasi positif yang berarti semakin tinggi konsentrasi Pb di lingkungan perairan maka semakin tinggi kadar Pb yang diserap oleh kerang darah (Tegillarca granosa).

Propuesta de agenda económica consensuada para enfrentar la crisis en Ecuador en tiempos del Covid-19
Authors: García Álvarez Santiago 
Published: June 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una propuesta de consenso de transformación económica para enfrentar la crisis disruptiva por la que atraviesa Ecuador en tiempos del Covid-19, pues lamentablemente este país se ha presentado como una de las sociedades latinoamericanas más vulnerables en los ámbitos sanitario, social, económico y ambiental. La metodología se basó tanto en una revisión bibliográfica sobre las teorías del conflicto-consenso social, a partir de los enfoques de gobernanza y gobernabilidad desde la perspectiva económica, el regulacionismo y el neoestructuralismo latinoamericano, así como sobre los impactos socioeconómicos del Covid-19. Los resultados muestran que existen bases teóricas que sustentan la posibilidad de acuerdos sociales de amplio espectro para apuntalar una política económica bajo el enfoque de lo adecuado, de los suficiente. Para el caso ecuatoriano, resulta factible identificar cuatro grandes objetivos nacionales que demandan una respuesta social o acción colectiva: reactivación productiva inclusiva; sostenibilidad fiscal de mediano y largo plazo; ampliación de la protección social; y transición ambiental sostenible.

Authors: Muniappan Sivaneswary , Zainuddin Zarifa 
Published: June 2024

Adult intussusception is rare, less common and differs from childhood intussusception in its presentation, aetiology and treatment. It is common in paediatrics of less than three years of age.1,2 Unlike in paediatric population, most adult cases presented to emergency department with intestinal obstruction, and rarely, the actual diagnosis of intussusception is made during clinical setting. Top causes of adult intussusception include malignant or benign lesions, post-operative complications such as adhesions, Meckel diverticulum and bowel inflammatory disease. 8-20% of cases are idiopathic with no lead point lesion.3 Preliminary radiograph may show signs of intestinal obstruction, but computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard imaging for intussusception. This is a case report of an adult intussusception in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan which was not detected during clinical examination, but diagnosed by CT imaging.
