Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) is a common procedure for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in elderly males. Spinal Anesthesia is conventionally used during the procedure; however, some studies have preferred saddle block regarding the average time of induction requirement for vasopressors. This study compared the mean change in mean arterial pressure and the mean vasopressor requirement (phenylephrine) among patients undergoing TURP with spinal anesthesia versus Saddle block. This randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Anesthesia Department, Jinnah Hospital Lahore, for Six months on 120 cases (group 1: 60, group 2: 60) of male patients aged 40-80 years undergoing TURP surgery. Patients in Group A received 2 ml of 0.75% bupivacaine and were placed supine with one pillow, while Group B received 2 ml of hyperbaric 0.75% in the same manner as Group A but remained in the sitting position for 10 minutes and then made supine with one pillow under the head. Demographic and clinical data was entered and analyzed using SPSS. Mean, Standard Deviation, Frequency, and percentages were calculated for quantitative and qualitative data, respectively, and an independent sample t-test was used for mean differences, keeping p-value<0.05 as significant. The mean age in the Spinal anesthesia group was 61.23 ± 12.06 years, while the mean age in the Saddle block group was 59.55 ± 11.57 years. In the Spinal and Saddle block, the mean arterial pressure before the procedure was 102.60 ± 5.33 and 95.52 ± 4.52, respectively. The mean change in MAP in the spinal group was 20.02 ± 5.76, and in the Saddle block group was 10.95 ± 5.93. The mean vasopressor requirement in Spinal anesthesia was 102.18 ± 19.17, and in Saddle block was 30.67 ± 26.46, respectively. All measures showed significantly lower mean change in Saddle block groups, p-value < 0.05 for all. This study's findings concluded that the mean change in mean arterial pressure and Vasopressor (phenylephrine) requirement among patients undergoing TURP Saddle block was favorable. So, TURP can be safely performed under saddle block without hypotension and less vasopressor requirement.

Authors: Elrayah Musaddag , Abdelwahed Nadia A. Abdelmegeed , Moustafa Mohamed A. 
Published: November 2023

Objective: Organic food is purchased by consumers because they believe in the product's excellent quality. Sustainable farming appears to improve health and lower the likelihood of developing chronic diseases. This study attempts to investigate the primary elements that influence students' decision to buy and not buy organic food at King Faisal University (KFU).

Method: This research uses the quantitative research method. A sample size of 182 students were chosen to complete this study. Data was collected through structured questionnaires. The questionnaires were sent through the formal students' emails from May 20th, 2023 to September 6th, 2023. We used SmartPLS 4 to assess the hypotheses of this study.

Results: This study finds some evidence like a positive significant effect of Organic Food Awareness (OFA) on the Purchase of Organic Food (BIB) (H1= β=0.894; p< 0.1), and an insignificant effect of OFA on the Behavioral Intentions to Purchase Organic Food (BIB) (H2= β=0.157; p > 0.01).

Conclusion: Universities should improve the Students' awareness of organic food. This leads to a decrease in their exposure to dangerous chemicals by eating organic food, potentially lowering their risk of health issues such as allergies, hormonal disruptions, and some malignancies. This study has social, economic, and academic implications. In addition, it comes in line with the sustainability initiative. Organic farming practices promote ecological balance and conserve biodiversity.
New Discourse of the Shennong Symbol in Vietnam
Authors: Huong Vuong Thi , Anh Duong Tuan 
Published: November 2023

Objective: Researching the contemporary discourse surrounding the iconic figure of Shennong (a long-standing symbol in Vietnamese culture) aims to shed light on how this age-old symbol is being redefined in the present era. This research endeavors to provide insights for scholars and decision-makers, enabling them to generate fresh narratives for old symbols, and infuse new life into traditional icons to better serve the demands of modern life.

Methods: Studying the new discourse surrounding the Shennong symbol in Vietnam requires an interdisciplinary scientific approach, incorporating fields such as cultural studies, literature, Sino-Nom studies, and communication studies. In the process of addressing this issue, the author utilizes research methods such as textual analysis, field research, text analysis, comparative analysis, logic-historical analysis, harmonizing contemporary and historical perspectives, and analytical synthesis. These research methods are consistently applied by the author to provide a comprehensive and specific approach suitable for the current research task.

Results: Ancient records also affirm the blood relations of Shennong with significant figures in Vietnamese mythology, such as Lạc Long Quan, Au Co, and their descendants, the Hung kings. However, cultural expressions related to the figure of Shennong over the past 30 years (since 1991) have shown that the meaning of the Shennong symbol is evolving to better align with the demands of the modern era. Consequently, the significance of the Shennong symbol associated with agriculture still leaves an imprint on cultural practices, extending to symbolize the spirit of labor and building a new life in the contemporary age. Moreover, the Shennong symbol now holds a new meaning: a symbol of national unity.

Conclusions: In Vietnam, legends and records related to Shennong, along with the religious practices and worship of this deity, traditionally focused on the symbol's significance for agriculture, embodying the deep agrarian spirit of the Vietnamese people. In the modern era, the Shennong symbol in Vietnam has expanded its meaning to encompass the spirit of labor in building a new life in a different age. Simultaneously, it is gradually becoming a symbol of national unity. This reflects the Vietnamese people's aspiration to utilize the Shennong symbol for constructing a more prosperous future and for fostering a sense of connection and unity among the diverse Vietnamese communities in various regions.

Kanunların geriye yürümezliği ilkesi, hukukun genel ilkelerinden birisidir. Bu ilke ile kazanılmış haklara saygı ilkesi arasında açık bir bağ vardır. Ancak kazanılmış hak olmayan bazı durumlarda kanunların geriye yürümesi hakkaniyet ilkesine aykırı olacağından haklı beklentilerin korunması ilkesine dikkat edilmeye başlanmıştır.
Elektrik faturalarındaki kayıp-kaçak, iletim, dağıtım vs. bedellerin tüketicilerden tahsil edilmesi konusunda Yargıtay ile Danıştay arasında görüş ayrılığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Yasa koyucu, bunun üzerine 6446 Sayılı Elektrik Piyasası Kanunu’nda bazı değişiklikler yapmıştır. Bunlardan birisi ilgili bedellerin tahsil edilmesinin kanunî dayanağını oluşturmaktayken, bir diğeri de bu değişikliklerin derdest davalara uygulanmasını öngörmektedir. Anayasa Mahkemesi değişikliklerin derdest davalara uygulanmasını öngören düzenlemeyi Anayasa’ya aykırı bulmamıştır.
Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin değerlendirmesine sonuç itibariyle katılmak mümkün olsa da gerekçelendirmenin ve izlenen mantık silsilesinin yeterli doyuruculukta olmadığı söylenmelidir. Mahkeme, haklı beklentilerin korunması ilkesinin soyut düzlemden somut düzleme aktarılma sürecinde içerik, kapsam ve şartlar bakımından çerçeveyi sarih bir şekilde çizemediği için bu ilkeye dair Mahkeme’nin yaklaşımının açıklanması ve tartışmaya açılması gerekmektedir.

AbstractThe importance of the sociological approach to understanding religion is understandable because many religious teachings related to social problems. Jalaluddin Rahmat has shown how much attention to religion in this case is Islam against social problems. But today, the sociology of religion studying how religion affects the community, and may be religion maysrakat affect the concept of religion. Sociological Approaches have a very important role in efforts to understand and explore the true meanings intended by the Koran. Besides caused by Islam as a religion that prefers things that smelled of social rather than individual evidenced by the many verses of the Koran and the Hadith concerning muamalah affairs (social), it also caused a lot of stories in the Qur'an less can be understood properly unless with a sociological approach. Pentingnya pendekatan sosiologis dalam memahami agama dapat dipahami karena banyak sekali ajaran agama yang berkaitan dengan masalah sosial. Jalaludin Rakhmat telah menunjukkan betapa besarnya perhatian agama yang dalam hal ini adalah Islam terhadap masalah sosial. Namun dewasa ini, sosiologi agama mempelajari bagaimana agama mempengaruhi masyarakat, dan boleh jadi agama maysrakat mempengaruhi konsep agama. Pendekatan sosiologi memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam usaha untuk memahami dan menggali makna-makna yang sesungguhnya dikehendaki oleh alQurâ€™an. Selain disebabkan oleh Islam sebagai agama yang lebih mengutamakan hal-hal yang berbau sosial daripada individual yang terbukti dengan banyaknya ayat al-Qurâ€™an dan Hadis yang berkenaan dengan urusan muamalah (sosial), hal ini juga disebabkan banyak kisah dalam al-Qurâ€™an yang kurang bisa dipahami dengan tepat kecuali dengan pendekatan sosiologi.

IMPLIKASI UNDANG-UNDANG CIPTA KERJA SEBAGAI HUKUM POSITIF DI INDONESIA TERHADAP PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM KEPADA BURUH
Authors: Suryandari Wieke Dewi 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRAKLahirnya Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja dengan menggunakan metode Omnibus Law memiliki tujuan untuk meningkatkan investasi serta menjadikan industrialisasi di Indonesia semakin maju, Adapun usaha yang perbuat diantaranya melalui pemotongan jalur birokratisasi dan menyulitkan perizinan kegiatan baru. Sebagai sumber hukum, Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja tentu saja harus mampu menjawab dan menyelesaikan permasalahan yang terjadi yang terkait dengan ketenagakerjaan. Sehingga Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja akan memiliki dampak terhadap buruh, sehingga permasalahan yang diangkat adalah Bagaimana Implikasi Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja terhadap perlindungan hukum terhadap buruh. Melalui metode pendekatan yuridis normatif dengan mengunakan data primer yang terdiri dari bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder, dan bahan hukum tersier. Nantinya akan dijabarkan setiap peraturan perundang-undangan yang berhubungan dengan teori hukum sebagai menjadi objek penelitian.Berdasarkan analisa yang dilakukan bahwa muatan materi dalam Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja justru memiliki implikasi berupa pemunduran atas perlindungan dan pemenuhan hak atas pekerjaan dan penghidupan yang layak. Undang-Undang Cipta kerja ter indikasi terjadinya pemunduran dibandingkan regulasi sektoral (eksisting) karena dipengaruhi faktor ketersediaan, hal itu karena tidak memenuhi kesempatan kerja yang luas bagi masyarakat, namun justru membuka keran terhadap tenaga kerja dari berbagai negara. Selain itu pula Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja dirasa mengalami penurunan terhadap upaya perlindungan terhadap hak atas pekerjaan dan upah yang layak dimulai dengan memaksakan berlakunya alih daya buruh (outsourcing) dengan dalih perluasan kesempatan kerja dan percepatan proyek strategis nasional. Implikasi dari pembukaan pekerjaan yang bersifat outsourcing tidak hanya menyangkut dengan sustainable dan kepastian hak atas pekerjaan, akan tetapi memberikan dampak lain yaitu berpotensi terjadinya penurunan kualitas hubungan kerja antara pengusaha dan buruh.Â Kata Kunci: Cipta Kerja, Perlindungan hukum, Buruh

Authors: Shrestha Poonam , Paudel Santosh 
Published: November 2023

Background: Ocular manifestations of herpes simplex virus infection range from benign blepharitis, conjunctivitis, and epithelial keratitis to vision-threatening stromal keratitis and uveitis. This study aims to find out the demographic profile, clinical manifestations of herpes simplex virus keratitis and to assess associated visual impairment in Nepalese population.
Method: The retrospective study was conducted from January 2020 – February 2022. The medical records were reviewed where visual acuity at presentation and at one month follow-up, clinical details on examination and, diagnosis of the stage of disease were noted.
Results: Of 112 herpes simplex keratitis patients, mean age was 47.19±19.14 years. Patients of herpes simplex keratiris presented with different types of clinical manifestations namely 25 (22.31%) cases were dendritic and 13 (11.6%) geographic ulcers, 38 (33.9%) cases presented with purely stromal lesions, 19 (16.9%) cases with epithelial plus stromal lesions, 11 (9.8%) cases with stromal plus endothelial lesions and six (5.3%) cases with endothelitis. At presentation, 33 (29.4) had visual acuity of 6/6–6/18, 50 (44.6%) had 6/18–6/60, 6 (5.3%) had 6/60–3/60 and 23 (20.5%) had <3/60. At one month follow up 71 (63.3%) had visual acuity of 6/6–6/18, 30 (26.7%) had 6/18–6/60, 5 (4.4%) had <6/60–3/60 and 6 (5.35%) had <3/60.
Conclusion: Herpes simplex keratitis has diverse presentation and can cause significant vision impairment. Early clinical diagnosis and management may prevent disease progression and visual impairment.
Sensitivity analysis of selection bias: a graphical display by bias-correction index
Authors: Chung Ping-Chen , Lin I-Feng 
Published: November 2023

Background
In observational studies, how the magnitude of potential selection bias in a sensitivity analysis can be quantified is rarely discussed. The purpose of this study was to develop a sensitivity analysis strategy by using the bias-correction index (BCI) approach for quantifying the influence and direction of selection bias.

Methods
We used a BCI, a function of selection probabilities conditional on outcome and covariates, with different selection bias scenarios in a logistic regression setting. A bias-correction sensitivity plot was illustrated to analyze the associations between proctoscopy examination and sociodemographic variables obtained using the data from the Taiwan National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and of a subset of individuals who consented to having their health insurance data further linked.

Results
We included 15,247 people aged ≥20 years, and 87.74% of whom signed the informed consent. When the entire sample was considered, smokers were less likely to undergo proctoscopic examination (odds ratio (OR): 0.69, 95% CI [0.57–0.84]), than nonsmokers were. When the data of only the people who provided consent were considered, the OR was 0.76 (95% CI [0.62–0.94]). The bias-correction sensitivity plot indicated varying ORs under different degrees of selection bias.

Conclusions
When data are only available in a subsample of a population, a bias-correction sensitivity plot can be used to easily visualize varying ORs under different selection bias scenarios. The similar strategy can be applied to models other than logistic regression if an appropriate BCI is derived.
