Background:
The objective is to evaluate the prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) as an early complication of the percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedure.

Materials and Methods:
From May 2022 to October 2022, we conducted a retrospective study on patients undergoing PCNL procedures in two of the tertiary medical centers affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Patients’ baseline characteristics, laboratory values, perioperative data, and stone features were documented. AKI was defined either as a ≥0.3 mg/dL increase in the serum creatinine level within 2 days, or a ≥1.5-fold increase in baseline serum creatinine level within 7 days after the operation. Laboratory values were measured 1 day before PCNL and daily thereafter until discharge. Patients were followed 1 week later to detect all of the possible cases of AKI.

Results:
The final analysis was performed on 347 individuals. AKI developed in 16 (4.61%) cases. The two groups were comparable regarding age (P = 0.887), gender (P = 0.566), and underlying comorbidities including diabetes mellitus (P = 0.577) and hypertension (P = 0.383). The mean body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.001) and both frequency and severity of hydronephrosis (P < 0.001) were significantly different. A higher mean PCNL duration (P < 0.001), period of hospitalization (P < 0.001), and blood loss volume (P < 0.001) were observed in those who developed AKI. Overall, 56.3% (9) of patients in the AKI group and 2.7% (9) in the non-AKI group required the establishment of more than one access tract, during the procedure (P < 0.001). A lower preoperative hemoglobin level was observed in the AKI group (P < 0.001). Those with AKI had significantly larger stones (3.08 ± 0.46 vs. 2.41 ± 0.23 cm, P < 0.001) and higher Hounsfield units (P < 0.001). In addition, in the AKI group, most of the calculi (81.3%, 13) were of staghorn type, whereas in the non-AKI group, calculi were most frequently located in the middle calyx (30.2%, 100), (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The prevalence of post-PCNL AKI is approximately 4.61%. The mean BMI, preoperative hemoglobin level, PCNL duration, intraoperative blood loss volume, and hospitalization period were significantly higher among patients who developed AKI. Those with AKI had significantly larger stones with higher Hounsfield units and more frequently of staghorn type. The two groups were not statistically different regarding age, gender, and presence of comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes mellitus).

Let

X

be a nonelementary

\mathrm{CAT}(0)

cubical complex. We prove that if

X

is essential and irreducible, then the contact graph of

X

(introduced by Hagen (2014)) is unbounded and its boundary is homeomorphic to the regular boundary of

X

(defined by Fernós (2018) and Kar–Sageev (2016)). Using this, we reformulate the Caprace–Sageev’s rank-rigidity theorem in terms of the action on the contact graph. Let

G

be a group with a nonelementary action on

X

, and let

(Z_{n})

be a random walk corresponding to a generating probability measure on

G

with finite second moment. Using this identification of the boundary of the contact graph, we prove a central limit theorem for

(Z_{n})

, namely that

\frac{d(Z_{n} o,o)-nA}{\sqrt{n}}

converges in law to a non-degenerate Gaussian distribution (

A=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{d(Z_{n}o,o)}{n}

is the drift of the random walk, and

o\in X

is an arbitrary basepoint).

The library is an incentive that provides and provides a source of information and science to mankind. In fact, a library is a room, part of a building, or the building itself, used to store books and other publications that are generally stored according to the order of data to be used. (Basuki, 1991). In order to ensure high-quality information, the university library should be considered as part of the process of acquiring library material for the fulfilment of the information required by libraries and the development of a reliable collection of information sources. The development of this collection is carried out with the involvement of library staff, executives, researchers, as well as users or librarians. As for the development of this collection, it is the acquisition of library material or acquisition. The method presented in this article uses library research, i.e. the method of gathering data through understanding and studying the theories of various documents related to research. Library research in research has four stages, namely preparing the necessary documents, preparing work maps, setting time, and reading or recording research materials. This data collection uses a way to find sources and build from a variety of sources, such as books, journals, and previous research. Library materials derived from various references are critically analyzed and need to be further examined to support suggestions and ideas.The quality of a library depends on its collection, and the collection depends upon the selection process. It shows that the choice is very important for the library. If the selection is not properly considered, the library collection may not be able to meet the needs of its users or provide them with satisfaction. This will worsen librarians expectations of libraries. Users may not be allowed to use the library because they feel that they do not get the information they need. Therefore, librarians must be able to carefully and wisely select and select the materials to be included in the library collection.
TELAAH NORMATIF TERHADAP PUTUSAN MAHKAMAH KONSTITUSI ATAS FENOMENA CYBER BULLYING SEBAGAI KEJAHATAN DI DUNIA CYBER

Abstrak
Akibat yang timbul dari Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) tersebut adalah harus adanya pengaduan dari korban cyber bullying agar pelaku dapat dituntut di depan pengadilan. Keterbatasan masyarakat dalam membuat opini, tulisan, atau komentar di dunia cyber merupakan dampak dari UU ITE yang dirasa masih multi interpretasi. Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 50/PUU-VI/2008 yang menyatakan bahwa unsur “di muka umum” yang terdapat dalam Pasal 310 dan 311 KUHP dianggap kurang memadai sehingga perlu rumusan khusus yang bersifat ekstensif yaitu “mendistribusikan, mentransmisikan dan/atau membuat dapat diaksesnya” karena pembuat undang-undang pada waktu itu belum memikirkan bahwa perkembangan teknologi dapat memfasilitasi tindak pidana penghinaan yang paperless, seperti dalam internet. Oleh karena itu, Mahkamah Konstitusi berpendapat bahwa penghinaan yang diatur dalam KUHP tidak dapat menjangkau delik penghinaan dan pencemaran nama baik yang dilakukan di dunia cyber. Tetapi, penafsiran norma yang termuat dalam UU ITE mengenai penghinaan dan/atau pencemaran nama baik tidak bisa dilepaskan dari norma hukum pidana yang termuat dalam Pasal 310 dan Pasal 311 KUHP karena Pasal dalam UU ITE esensinya adalah untuk memberikan payung hukum terhadap korban dari penghinaan dan pencemaran nama baik.

Abstract
The consequences arising from the Constitutional Court's (MK) decision are that there must be complaints from victims of cyber bullying so that the perpetrators can be prosecuted before the court. The limitations of the public in making opinions, writings, or comments in the cyber world are the impact of the ITE Law which is still considered to have multiple interpretations. The decision of the Constitutional Court Number 50/PUU-VI/2008 which states that the "public" element contained in Articles 310 and 311 of the Criminal Code is considered inadequate so that it needs a special formulation that is extensive in nature, namely "distributing, transmitting and/or making it accessible" because the legislators at that time had not thought that technological developments could facilitate paperless criminal acts of humiliation, such as on the internet. Therefore, the Constitutional Court is of the opinion that the insults regulated in the Criminal Code cannot reach offenses against insults and defamation committed in the cyber world. However, the interpretation of the norms contained in Law regarding insults and/or defamation cannot be separated from the criminal law norms contained in Article 310 and Article 311 of the Criminal Code because the Article in the ITE Law essentially provides a legal umbrella. against victims of humiliation and defamation.

The problems raised in this study are, 1) how is the legal protection of Notaries based on the principle of Based On Fault Of Liability (Responsibility Based on Errors); 2) what is the legal responsibility of a Notary who commits a crime in forging an authentic deed. The research method used is normative juridical using a law approach, a case approach and a conceptual approach. The conclusion of this research is that legal protection for Notaries based on the principle of Based On Fault Liability (responsibility based on errors) is that if an element of the error occurs between the parties, then as long as a Notary carries out his authority in accordance with what is stated in the Act, the Notary who The person concerned cannot be held accountable because the Notary only records all the information he or she obtains from the appearers. Then, the legal responsibility for a Notary who commits a criminal act in falsifying an authentic deed is that the Notary is criminally responsible when in the process of proving that the Notary is proven to have committed a crime that meets the elements, namely the ability to be responsible, intentional or negligent, and no excuses.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is one of the major non-communicable diseases in the world. It is a well-recognized cause for premature death and disability as it increases the risk of vascular, renal, retinal and neuropathic complications. Lifestyle modification, changing dietary habits and rapid urbanization may be the most important factors for the increasing prevalence of this disease. In this project we measure the quality of life in diabetes patient by using body composition device. It was calculating the body mass, bone mass, muscle as well as visceral mass. By that we calculate BMR of each individual that will differentiate the effect of urban and rural lifestyle on patients. Aim: To study the Quality of life in Diabetes Miletus patients in urban and rural population. Methodology: After obtaining ethical Committee approval a comparison study was conducted on 100 Diabetic patients between age group 35-60 years. All participants were screen for the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All included participants were explained about this study and they included after consent form signing. Then BMR and QOL are check by using the Body composition device and Quality of life in Indian diabetes patient (QOLID). Result: Result showed that the Quality of life is better in urban population than rural but BMR is better in rural population. p value is >0.001 so study is extremely significant. Conclusion: This study concluded that Rural population has better BMR, Bone mass than Urban population but there is no such difference in Muscle mass of both population Diabetes Patients. This study also concluded that QOL is more in urban population than rural population on basis of emotional/mental health, prevalence of diabetes, general health diet satisfaction, education and treatment satisfaction.
Prediction of long-term ischemic stroke with estimated whole blood viscosity in heart failure patients
Authors: İnan Duygu , Erdoğan Aslan 
Published: March 2024

Aims: Heart failure (HF) and stroke often coexist and share common risk factors, including atrial fibrillation. Whole blood viscosity (WBV), one of the most significant indicators of endothelial stress, is a fundamental determinant of blood flow and is involved in the aetiology of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between estimated WBV and long-term ischemic stroke (IS) risk in patients hospitalized for acute HF.
Methods: A total of 409 patients with reduced ejection fraction HF hospitalized with acute HF were included. The primary outcome was IS post-discharge follow-up.
Results: IS occurred in 26 (6%) patients during a follow-up. In the IS group, older age, diabetes mellitus frequency and WBV were higher, left ventricular end-diastolic and left atrial anteroposterior diameter were increased and left ventricular ejection fraction was lower. In multivariate regression analysis, WBV was found to be a predictor of long-term IS (OR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.96-3.12, p=0.008). In the receiver operating characteristic curve, the optimal cut-off value of WBV for one-year IS was 6.28 with 61.5% sensitivity and 70.2% specificity (area under the curve: 0.748).
Conclusion: WBV is a novel, easily measurable, cost-effective, non-invasive risk marker for the prediction of long-term IS in patients with HF, independent of traditional risk factors.
Comparison of clinical and functional outcomes of patients who underwent plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary nailing for forearm fractures
Authors: Ateş Okan , Altıntaş Mustafa 
Published: March 2024

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the functional and radiographic results of patients with forearm diaphyseal fractures after intramedullary nailing (IMN) and plate and screw osteosynthesis.
Methods: A total of 58 patients, including 31 patients operated on with the plate osteosynthesis method and 27 patients operated on with the IMN method for forearm diaphyseal fractures between 2017 and 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age was 35.9±14.5 years in the plate group and 33±13.1 years in the IMN group. The mean follow-up period was 157±83 days in the IMN group and 220±97 days in the plate group. Evaluation criteria for functional outcomes were forearm pronation; supination range of motion; the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score; and the Grace-Eversmann score.
Results: The mean union time was 66.7 days in the plate group and 54.4 days in the IMN group (p=0.039). The mean length of hospitalization was 3.9±3.44 days in the plate group and 2.93±1.49 days in the IMN group. The mean supination range was 72.5±9.9 degrees in the plate group and 72.2±11.8 degrees in the IMN group. The mean pronation range was 81.2±11.7 degrees in the plate group and 80.3±15.5 degrees in the IMN group. The mean follow-up period was 157±83 days in the IMN group and 220±97 days in the plate group (p=0.011). According to the Association for Osteosynthesis/Orthopedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification, 30 cases were classified as type A, 21 cases as type B, and 7 cases as type C. According to the Grace-Eversmann classification, 2 cases in the plate group were classified as unacceptable, 2 were classified as acceptable, 10 were classified as good, and 16 were classified as excellent, while 2 cases in the IMN group were classified as unacceptable, 4 were classified as acceptable, 5 were classified as good, and 16 were classified as excellent. The mean DASH score was 14.74±10.49 in the plate group and 15.11±12.7 in the IMN group.
Conclusion: With the advantages of minimal incision, less soft tissue damage, and no evacuation of the fracture hematoma, the union time and follow-up periods were found to be shorter in the IMN group. Thanks to the bearing force of intracanal intramedullary nails, patients were able to move earlier and satisfactory functional outcomes were obtained.

Purpose: The general purpose of the study was to examine the effects of bilingualism on cognitive processing.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the effects of bilingualism on cognitive processing. Preliminary empirical review revealed that bilingualism is associated with cognitive advantages, such as enhanced attentional control, executive function, and working memory capacity. Through a review of existing literature, it was found that bilingual individuals often outperform monolinguals in cognitive tasks, supporting the Bilingual Advantage Theory. Additionally, evidence suggested that bilingualism may contribute to a slower rate of cognitive decline in older age. These findings have implications for educators, policymakers, and healthcare professionals, highlighting the potential benefits of promoting bilingual education and language preservation efforts.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Bilingual Advantage theory, Neuroplasticity and Cognitive Reserve theory may be used to anchor future studies on bilingualism and cognitive processing. The study made significant contributions to theory, practice, and policy. It supported the Bilingual Advantage Theory by demonstrating enhanced cognitive processing abilities in bilingual individuals. Recommendations included further exploration of underlying mechanisms, tailored interventions in educational and clinical settings, and policies supporting bilingual education and language diversity. These findings and recommendations aimed to advance understanding of bilingualism's cognitive benefits, inform practice in education and healthcare, and influence policy development for promoting linguistic diversity and cognitive development.
