Authors: Ayu Nurrohmah Aliffiani , Nurcholis Ahmad 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Preachers nowadays have used social media (social media) to spread their da'wah. The Pemuda Hijrah Instagram account is an account that spreads da'wah content by making videos about da'wah, providing Islamic studies with the theme of inviting young people to emigrate and improve themselves. With the title "Instagram as a Media of Da'wah" the researcher wants to try to use theoretical social learning in order to find out what the target of Instagram is as a medium of da'wah on the Instagram of the hijrah youth. This study uses qualitative research methods by interviewing, observing six followers on the youth hijrah accounts, and also researchers viewing videos on the hijrah youth instagram accounts at least five to ten times for one week. This paper shows that the da'wah strategy can use social media in disseminating video content through the Pemuda Hijrah Instagram account which is considered very efficient in increasing understanding of Islam, increasing optimism, providing motivation, and encouraging behavioral change towards respondents to become more personal good.

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Family Planning Program (KB) in the use of contraceptives in the UPTD of the Population Control and Family Planning Office of Caringin Sub-district, Sukabumi District. The KB program has an important role in regulating births, marriage age, and increasing family resilience and welfare. This activity involves married couples and requires the support of husbands. Indonesia's high population growth and geographical issues pose challenges to family planning implementation.
The interview results show that by 2023, around 79% of people in Caringin Sub-district will have used contraceptives. This shows an increase in community awareness of the program. However, there are still 21% of the community who have not joined the program. The UPTD of the Population Control and Family Planning Office has the responsibility to provide explanations to those who have not joined the program. In this case, it requires maximum understanding and efficient use of the budget.
The family planning program in the use of contraceptives in the UPTD Dinas Pengendalian Penduduk dan Keluarga Berencana Kecamatan Caringin Kabupaten Sukabumi has been running quite well. Public awareness of the program has increased, and the services provided are effective. Coordination with related agencies and directed procedures also play an important role in the success of this program.
Transatlantic Relations from Trump to Biden: Between Continuity and Change
Authors: Dimitrova Anna 
Published: September 2023

L’élection de Joe Biden à la présidence des États-Unis a été accueillie avec enthousiasme en Europe, où les espoirs de panser et de reconstruire les relations transatlantiques après les quatre années de dénigrement de Trump ont été élevés. Alors qu’il y a sans aucun doute eu des changements dans la personnalité, le style et la rhétorique présidentielle, ainsi que certaines actions concrètes concernant le réengagement des États-Unis dans les institutions multilatérales et l’engagement proactif dans la sécurité transatlantique – y compris le moment d’unité entre les alliés transatlantiques créé par l’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie – il y a aussi eu une certaine continuité avec la politique étrangère du "America First" de Trump. On le constate surtout dans le domaine du commerce, ainsi que dans la stratégie de politique étrangère américaine dans la région indo-pacifique. Dans les deux cas, Biden a montré jusqu’à présent qu’il poursuivra les intérêts politiques et l’agenda de l’Amérique, même si cela implique la mise à l’écart des alliés européens. Étant donné que le président Biden est en fonction depuis près de deux ans maintenant, il apparaît opportun de faire le point sur les relations transatlantiques afin de mieux comprendre ce qui a changé et de quelle manière elles ont évolué sous l’administration Biden.
Quelle est la place des sites fortifiés dans les échanges maritimes de la façade Manche-Atlantique à la fin de l’âge du Fer ?
Authors: Duval Hervé 
Published: September 2023

À la fin de l’âge du Fer, les échanges maritimes ont une importance considérable pour les peuples établis le long de la façade Manche-Atlantique. Si ces derniers ont parfois été mentionnés à travers les textes antiques, ce sont principalement les découvertes archéologiques qui ont permis de reconsidérer leur existence au cours des derniers siècles avant notre ère. Les sites dotés de fortifications se retrouvent de manière quasi-systématique à des points hautement stratégiques, peut-être de manière à contrôler, à organiser et à maintenir des routes commerciales à petite et longue distance. En effet, ils s’imposent comme autant de points de passages obligés ou de relais pour les navigateurs, même si d’autres fonctions s’y ajoutent également. Leurs systèmes défensifs – longtemps demeurés comme les seuls éléments reconnus du point de vue archéologique – manifestent la volonté de maintenir un contrôle et une autorité sur les hommes et les biens qui y ont transité, objets d’enrichissement et de convoitise.
Le havre du Loc’h (Finistère, Argol) aux ixe-xiie siècles, un modeste site portuaire au rayonnement local
Authors: Bachelier Julien , Stéphan Pierre 
Published: September 2023

Sur la presqu’île de Crozon, non loin de Landévennec, derrière un double cordon de galets, un petit étang s’est formé et a donné son nom à l’anse : le Loc’h. L'ouverture d'une brèche dans le cordon a permis de mettre au jour des traces anthropiques médiévales, certaines datées par le radiocarbone permettant d’estimer aux ixe-xiie siècles la période d’activité de ce petit port. La provenance des galets ayant servi pour lester des navires orientent vers un faible rayonnement, essentiellement à l’échelle de la rade de Brest ; en retour, les bateaux pouvaient être chargés de bois d’œuvre. À la même époque, l’abbaye de Landévennec connaît plusieurs destructions et reconstructions, mais il reste délicat d’établir un lien entre le port du Loc’h et la prestigieuse communauté bénédictine, même si une très large partie des terres de la presqu’île lui appartenait. Le Loc’h a été un modeste site portuaire, sans installation, un havre éphémère de surcroît mais qui devait renvoyer à une certaine réalité médiévale où les petits ports étaient très nombreux le long des rivages.
Une extension urbaine sur les rives de la Vilaine à Rennes au xie siècle d’après la fouille archéologique de la place Saint-Germain
Authors: Beuchet Laurent 
Published: September 2023

La place Saint-Germain est située en périphérie du centre-ville de Rennes, sur la rive nord de la Vilaine. Sa fouille a livré une importante stratigraphie en milieu humide, permettant l’étude de vestiges variés, bien conservés et parfaitement datés. La confrontation des données archéologiques et historiques fait apparaître des informations particulièrement intéressantes pour le haut Moyen Âge. À la fin de l’Antiquité, le secteur reste aux marges de la ville et borde le franchissement de la Vilaine par la voie d’Angers. Une nécropole s’installe progressivement en bordure de cette route et donne naissance à un suburbium. Un nouveau pont est construit en amont du précédent peu après l’an Mil et participe, avec la fondation de l’abbaye Saint-Georges toute proche, à la fondation d’un nouveau bourg et à l’extension de la ville vers l’est. Il regroupe des artisans autour d’une nouvelle église dédiée à saint Germain. L’installation d’une troupe de cavaliers au milieu du xie siècle, signalée par un abondant et spectaculaire mobilier métallique, n’a que peu d’incidence sur le quartier qui se développe jusqu’à son inclusion dans l’enceinte du xve siècle.
Mechanism of Action of Natural Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV Inhibitors (Berberine and Mangiferin) in Experimentally Induced Diabetes with Metabolic Syndrome
Authors: Suman Rajesh Kumar , Borde Manjusha K , Mohanty Ipseeta Ray , Singh Hemant Kumar 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Berberine (BER) and mangiferin are known natural dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-IV) inhibitors. Hence, the study was designed to elucidate the mechanism of action of natural DPP-IV inhibitors (BER and MNG) in experimentally induced diabetes with metabolic syndrome.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to observe mechanism through which natural DPP-IV inhibitor works in diabetes with metabolic syndrome rat model.

Materials and Methods:
Wistar rats were fed high-fat diet for 10 weeks and challenged with streptozotocin (STZ) (40 mg/kg) at the 3rd week (high-fat diabetic control [HF-DC] group). After the confirmation of metabolic syndrome in the setting of diabetes, monotherapy (metformin [MET], vildagliptin [VIL], BER, and MNG) and combination (MET + VIL, MET + BER, and MET + MNG) therapy was orally fed to these rats from the 4th to 10th weeks.

Results:
Insulin resistance (IR) was seen in the HF-DC group as indicated by raised homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) in HF-DC group as compared with normal control (NC) groups. The treatment groups reduced IR as shown by a decrease in HOMA-IR as compared with HF-DC group rats. The marked reduction (P < 0.001) of beta-cell function was observed in the HF-DC group as a reduced level of HOMA for beta-cell function (HOMA-β) was found as compared with the NC group. Increases in HOMA-β as compared to the HFDC group were observed in the therapy groups. The treatment group significantly reduced cholesterol and atherogenic index. The treatment group showed significant preservation of beta-cell mass as per immunohistochemistry and significant anti-apoptotic activity as per Terminal Deoxyribonucleotidyl Transferase-Mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling assay report. The treated rats significantly (P < 0.05) reduced high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) marker (P < 0.001) was significantly reduced in the treatment group.

Conclusion:
The natural DPP-IV inhibitors BER and MNG treatment showed beneficial effects on various components of metabolic syndrome.
Spectrum of Hemophagocytosis in Bone Marrow Aspirates: Experience from a Tertiary Care Hospital in North India
Authors: Bhatti Vandana , Kwatra Kanwardeep Singh , Kakkar Naveen , John M. Joseph 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Hemophagocytosis refers to the engulfment of hematopoietic cells by histiocytes. It can be seen in various conditions but is usually reported in the setting of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Optimal interpretation of hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow in relation to the underlying disease significantly contributes to correct patient management.

Aim:
The present study was done to identify the spectrum of conditions associated with hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow aspirates and grade the degree of hemophagocytosis.

Material and Methods:
This retrospective observational study included all the bone marrow aspirates showing hemophagocytosis, identified over a period of 5 years (January 2015 to January 2020). Two pathologists independently reviewed bone marrow slides. Hemophagocytosis was graded as mild, moderate, or severe by observing the number of histiocytes showing hemophagocytosis per 500 nucleated cells.

Results:
Eighty-eight patients showing hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow aspirate smear were included in the study. The most common cause of hemophagocytosis was infection (18%). There were 4 (5%) cases of HLH. Grade 1 (mild) hemophagocytosis was seen in 25 (29%) cases followed by Grade 2 (moderate) in 53 (60%) cases and Grade 3 (severe) in 10 (11%) cases. Fever was the most common clinical symptom present in 45 (51%) cases.

Conclusion:
Hemophagocytosis in bone marrow aspirates is a common and under-reported finding. It is not only seen in cases of HLH but also in infections and other conditions. Documenting hemophagocytosis, even in the absence of fulfilled HLH criteria, is vital to explain cytopenias.
Circulating 18-Glycosyl Hydrolase Protein Chitiotriosidase-1 is Associated with Renal Dysfunction and Systemic Inflammation in Diabetic Kidney Disease
Authors: Jayashree Kuppuswami , Senthilkumar Gandhipuram Periyasamy , Vadivelan Mehalingam , Parameswaran Sreejith 
Published: September 2023

Introduction:
Chitotriosidase-1 (CHIT-1) is a marker of macrophage activation and recently attributed to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, its role in the development and progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been sparsely discussed in the recent literature.

Materials and Methods:
In this cross-sectional exploratory study, 81 participants with T2DM were classified into two groups based on the presence of DKD. Their anthropometric, biochemical, and pathological profiles were estimated. Circulatory CHIT-1 concentration was determined using the enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) in plasma.

Results:
CHIT-1 was significantly elevated in diabetic nephropathy, independent of age and gender. It is associated with severity of kidney disease, as assessed using urinary protein-creatinine ratio (uPCR) in a multiple linear regression model, independent of age, gender, diabetes duration, and insulin resistance. CHIT-1 positively predicted the likelihood of DKD in the study population (area under the curve = 0.724, P < 0.05). The duration of diabetes correlated positively with uPCR and negatively with estimated glomerular-filtration rate. Neutrophil-Lymphocyte ratio was elevated in participants with DKD. This well-established marker of systemic inflammation exhibited significant positive association with CHIT-1.

Conclusion:
Plasma CHIT-1 protein is elevated in DKD and associated with disease progression. It is capable of reflecting disease severity and is closely related to systemic inflammation possibly caused by pro-inflammatory circulatory immune cells.
Are Buffy-coat Pooled Platelet Concentrates an Effective Alternative to Apheresis Platelet Concentrates? An In vitro Analysis at a Tertiary Care Center in Northern India
Authors: Agarwal Prashant , Jain Ashish , Elhence Priti , Verma Anupam 
Published: September 2023

Background:
There is a need for platelet products to have the best quality. Apheresis platelet concentrates (PCs) obtained from single-donors PCs (SD-PCs) are considered best but have issues such as feasibility and cost. Buffy-coat pooled PCs (BCP-PCs) are considered an alternative to SD-PCs. This study compares BCP-PCs and SD-PCs for in vitro quality parameters and their changes during storage.

Materials and Methods:
Fifteen units of BCP-PCs and 15 units of SD-PCs were prepared. In this study, a pool of five buffy coats was prepared. Fifteen units of BCP-PCs were analyzed on day 1 and day 5 of storage, while 15 SD-PCs were analyzed on day 1 while ten units on day 5. The parameters analyzed were volume, hematological parameters, pH, swirling, and sterility.

Results:
The mean platelets count of SD-PCs was found to be significantly higher as compared to BCP-PCs. White blood cells (WBCs) contamination was significantly lower in BCP-PCs as compared to SD-PCs. The mean pH and mean platelet volume of SD-PCs were significantly lower than BCP-PCs. During storage, the mean platelets count of BCP-PCs was decreased significantly while that of SD-PCs nonsignificantly. The mean WBCs count and pH decreased in both BCP-PCs and SD-PCs significantly. All units in both types of PCs were sterile.

Conclusion:
Platelet yield was significantly better in SD-PCs, while mean WBCs contamination was significantly lower in BCP-PCs. BCP-PCs may be preferred in place of SD-PCs in case of nonavailability of apheresis, difficulty in finding a willing donor, or when the cost is of consideration.
Development of a High Penetration Safe Irrigant from Withania somnifera
Authors: Parhar Manreet , Bansal Parveen 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Herbal medicine is regaining a strong position in health care by virtue of better safety and minimal toxicity as compared to conventional chemotherapies. It is making a place in dental care in the form of various toothpastes, lotions, and mouthwashes. It has been analyzed that very few discrete herbal irrigants have an action comparable to that of sodium hypochlorite. No data about any study on penetration depth and penetration area for herbal-based irrigants used in root canal treatment are available.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of Withania somnifera extracts by assessing its penetration depth and area inside dentinal tubules using a confocal laser scanning microscope.

Materials and Methods:
Freshly extracted 25 maxillary central incisors were divided into three groups: Group 1: W. somnifera; Group 2: sodium hypochlorite; and Group 3: distilled water.

Results:

W. somnifera showed better results with respect to penetration depth and area inside the dentinal tubules thansodium hypochlorite.

Conclusion:
From the study, it can be concluded that W. somnifera extract-based irrigant may be used as an alternative to sodium hypochlorite-based irrigant. It also shows that more herbal drugs need such types of screening and incorporation in dental practice to reduce the potential side effects of the conventional drugs used in daily practice.

Authors: Yilmaz Serhan , Bolukbasi Hakan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background:
Neoplastic lesions of the vermiform appendix are still considered to be rare, some studies suggest that appendix cancer may be on the rise, with an estimated incidence of 0.08–0.1% of all appendiceal specimens. The lifetime incidence of malignant appendiceal tumors ranges from 0.2 to 0.5%.

Patients and Methods:
Our study is applied at the Department of General Surgery at tertiary training and research hospital; 14 patients who had appendectomy or right hemicolectomy between December 2015 and April 2020 were evaluated.

Results:
The mean age of the patients was 52.3 ± 15.1 (range, 26–79) years. Gender of the patients were: five (35.7%) men and nine (64.3%) women. The clinical diagnosis was appendicitis without suspected findings in 11 (78.6%), appendicitis with suspected findings (appendiceal mass, etc.) in three (21.4%) of the patients, and there is no patient with asymptomatic or other rare findings. Surgeries applied for the patients were: nine (64.3%) underwent open appendectomy, four (28.6%) underwent laparoscopic appendectomy, and one (7.1%) underwent open right hemicolectomy. Histopathologic results were as follows: five (35.7%) neuroendocrine neoplasm, eight (57.1%), noninvasive mucinous neoplasm, and one (7.1%) adenocarcinoma.

Conclusion:
While diagnosis and management of appendiceal pathology, surgeons should be familiar with suspected findings of appendiceal tumors and discuss them with patients to the possibility of histopathologic results.

Authors: Hambire Chaitali , Hambire Umesh 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Probiotics consist of live microbes. They do not have any adverse effects on health. They provide nutritive benefits to individuals when ingested in adequate quantities. The most common oral infections of the oral cavity are those affecting the periodontal and dental tissues.

Aims and Objectives:
1) To evaluate the antimicrobial role of oral probiotics against microorganisms involved in infections of periodontal and dental tissues. 2) To evaluate the state of health of gingival and periodontal tissues of children undergoing chemotherapy after the use of oral probiotics.

Materials and Methods:
60 children, between the age group of 3 and 15 years, undergoing chemotherapy were randomly distributed under control and probiotics administered test group for 90 days. The gingival, periodontal, and oral hygiene statuses were evaluated along with their caries activity test. The parameters were measured at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 days intervals. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 18.0.

Results:
The oral probiotics consumption significantly reduced the plaque accumulation between days of observation among those in the treatment group (P < 0.05). There was a significant improvement in the gingival and periodontal status in the tested group (P < 0.05). Snyder test was conducted to assess caries activity. Score 1 was found in 10 children, score 2 in eight children. Score 3 was not found in any child under the study group.

Conclusion:
The results show that the regular consumption of oral probiotics significantly reduces plaque accumulation, calculus formation, and caries activity among the test group.
