Published: January 2024

Objective: In this paper we report our experience in the use of buccal mucosal grafts in the reconstruction of difficult upper ureteric and uretero-pelvic junction strictures. Material & Methods: We retrospectively looked at our hospital inpatient and outpatient records of all patients who underwent surgical treatment for benign upper ureteric strictures and ureteropelvic junction strictures. Results: During the study period a total of 22 patients with a mean age of 326.07 years underwent buccal mucosal graft repair. The mean length of the narrowing/stricture was 6.40 1.44 cm. Conclusion: Buccal mucosal onlay graft ureteroplasty is a suitable treatment option for long, complicated benign upper ureteric and select ureteropelvic junction stric­tures. It is technically simple and capable of providing optimum patency of ureter with good urinary drainage. It is safe and effective.

An assessment of the impact of L.Salvadora persica and G.Tea on the surface roughness and hardness of heat-cured acrylic-based denture soft liners.
Authors: Hameed Najwah 
Published: December 2023

Background: Soft denture liners are a type of dental prosthesis that functions as a cushioning material, alleviating the stress induced by the act of chewing. They offer relief to persons who encounter discomfort when wearing complete or partial dentures, particularly when these dentures are situated on rigid surfaces that support the denture.
The objective of this study: is to assess the effects of including L.Salvadora persica. and green tea (G.Tea) extract powders on the surface roughness and hardness characteristics of acrylic-based soft liners.
Materials & Procedures: 30 specimens were constructed using wax molds and acrylic-based heat-cured denture soft lining material. The standard curing procedure was used. The samples were separated into three equal groups: group A, the control group, with no additives in the soft-liner material; group B, with 5.12% weight percept L.salvadora persica extract powder; and group C, with 5.12% weight present green tea (G.Tea) extract powder. The samples were then prepared for surface hardness and roughness testing.
Results: The results revealed that there was a non-significant rise in the mean values of surface roughness for both group B and group C, group B having the highest mean values followed by group C. When compared to the control group, the results showed a considerable rise in the mean values of surface hardness in group (B), which had the highest mean value for surface hardness, followed by group (C).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the incorporation of L.salvadora persica at a concentration of 1.024g and green tea (G.Tea) extract powders at a concentration of 1.024g shown a positive impact on the surface hardness of denture soft lining materials

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a sports dietary supplement, which is Dymatize® Elite Casein (micellar casein), as a storage medium for avulsed teeth compared to Hank’s balanced salt solution at three-time intervals.
Methods: One hundred teeth freshly extracted for orthodontic treatment. Were divided into Hank’s balanced salt solution, Dymatize® Elite Casein, a Dry group, and a control that tested directly after extraction. Experimental groups' teeth were immediately immersed in the media and subdivided into three groups at time intervals (1 hr, 4 hrs, and 8 hrs). Cells of PDL were examined after being scraped, and labeled with trypan blue using a light microscope and a hemocytometer. The data were statistically analyzed, using one-way ANOVA with Graph Pad Prism 7. And, Post Hoc Tukey's test performed inferential to compare each test group to all other groups.
Results: All groups showed highly significant changes, except for Dymatize® and control at one hour, which showed non-significant differences. All experimental groups had highly significant differences after 4 and 8 hours.
Conclusion: The Dymatize® Elite Casein could serve effectively as a transport medium and preserve fibroblast viability over time ensuring replantation success. It is a good substitute with its superior properties.

Authors: YİNANÇ Abdullah , SÖNMEZ Kamil 
Published: December 2023

In addition to the environmental problems caused by urbanisation, drought, irregularity in precipitation regime, floods, landslides, storms and fires are experienced in the world due to global warming and climate change. This situation is also valid for our country. These events negatively affect the lives of all living things. Necessary arrangements are being made by the relevant authorities for the solution of the problems caused by urbanisation and global climate crisis, and central and local administrations assume duties in accordance with the updated legislation. This process brings new approaches and administrative structures to the agenda for the planning of settlements, especially cities, in order to utilise natural resources effectively and efficiently. In the urban planning process, it is thought that there is a need for a comprehensive, visionary approach with physical, social, economic and cultural content regarding the use of natural resources in the context of urbanisation and environmental problems.
In this article, the processes of re-planning urban areas are examined by reviewing the literature on global warming, climate change and environmental problems caused by urbanisation. In order to solve these problems, it is thought that a new administrative structure is needed in order to formulate urbanisation policies and in the process of planning and construction of cities. With this study, it is aimed to evaluate the issue within the framework of an approach based on the protection of water, air and soil components, which are the basic input of planning in the urbanisation process and are of vital importance, and to propose solutions for urbanisation and environmental problems.

Tafsir Method of Tartib Nuzuli: An Analytical Study of Muhammad Darwazah's Kitab al-Tafsir al-Hadith and Muhammad al-Jabiri's Kitab Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim
Authors: Badruzaman Abad , Aziz Thoriqul 
Published: January 2024

The study of tafsir tartib nuzuli is still quite rare. This study seeks to complete the study. Tafsir tartib nuzuli is still considered “strange” by the majority of Muslims. This study is library research using a descriptive-analysis method. There are at least four mufasirs (interpreters) who use the tafsir method of tartib nuzuli, namely Bayan al-Ma'ani by Abdul Qadir Huwaisy (Iraq: 1880-1978), Al-Tafsir al-Hadith by Muhammad Darwazah (Syria: 1887-1984), Ma'arij al-Tafakkur by Abdurrahman al-Maidani (Syria: 1927-2004), and Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim by Muhammad al-Jabiri (Morocco: 1935-2010). Of the four books of nuzuli interpretation, this paper will focus on two books, namely Al-Tafsir al-Hadith and Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim. The tafsir method of nuzuli has its own characteristics and contributions compared to other methods of interpretation. Tafsir tartib nuzuli can be an alternative method in portraying the Prophet’s da’wah journey / Islamic transformation from the time of Muhammad's prophethood until his death. Tartib nuzuli interpretation is more related to the chronology of the Prophetic Sirah Nabawiyah (Prophetic Journey) as narrated in the books of Sirah.
Studi tentang tafsir tartib nuzuli masih cukup jarang dilakukan. Kajian ini berusaha untuk melengkapi studi tersebut. Tafsir tartib nuzuli dianggap masih ”asing” oleh mayoritas umat Islam. Kajian ini bersifat kepustakaan (library research) dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analisis. Setidaknya ada empat mufasir yang menggunakan metode tafsir tartib nuzuli yaitu Bayan al-Ma’ani karya Abdul Qadir Huwaisy (Irak: 1880-1978), Al-Tafsir al-Hadits karya Muhammad Darwazah (Suriah: 1887-1984), Ma’arij al-Tafakkur karya Abdurrahman al-Maidani (Suriah: 1927-2004), dan Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim karya Muhammad al-Jabiri (Maroko: 1935-2010). Dari empat kitab tafsir nuzuli tersebut, tulisan ini akan fokus pada dua kitab, yaitu Al-Tafsir al-Hadits dan Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim. Metode tafsir nuzuli memiliki ciri khas dan kontribusi tersendiri dibanding metode tafsir lain. Tafsir tartib nuzuli dapat menjadi metode alternatif dalam memotret perjalanan dakwah Nabi/formasi Islam sejak masa kenabian Muhammad sampai wafatnya. Tafsir tartib nuzuli lebih sinkron dengan kronologi Sirah Nabawiyah sebagaimana dinarasikan dalam kitab-kitab sirah.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore academic motivation among first-year medical students, examining differences in motivation levels based on gender, type of medical school, and living arrangement.
Materials and Methods: A total of 192 first-year medical students participated in the survey with an equal number of responses from public and private medical schools in this cross-sectional survey. The study utilized the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) to assess academic motivation levels. The independent sample t-test was used to examine diff erences in academic motivation between groups.
Results: The mean score for academic motivation among participants was 136.94 ± 20.974, with no significant diff erence between male and female students. Private medical school students had a higher overall mean score of academic motivation than public medical school students, although the difference was not statistically significant. Private medical school students scored higher in the Intrinsic Motivation - To Know (p-value<0.001), and Intrinsic Motivation - To Experience Stimulation (p-value=0.001) subscales. Public medical school students scored higher in the Extrinsic Motivation - Introjected subscale. Hostellers and day scholars showed no significant difference in overall academic motivation.
Conclusion: The study provides insights into the academic motivation of first-year medical students. No signifi cant differences were found in the overall academic motivation scores of different demographic groups of the students. However, differences were observed in the subscale scores of students. Private sector medical students and male students scored higher in Intrinsic Motivation - to know and experience stimulation than public sector medical students and female students respectively.
DIAGNOSTIC BIOMARKERS IN ORAL CANCER: CURRENT APPROACHES
Authors: Samrina Mohammad  
Published: January 2024

Oral cancer is due to over expression of growth of abnormal cells which rapidly multiply and divide. oral cancer is the sixth most common tumour in the world and the highest mortality and morbidity rate amongst all the human malignancies. Betal nut, chewing pan and smokeless tobacco, intake of alcohol and chronic viral infections like human papilloma virus are some of the etiological factors of oral cancer. The pathogenies of oral cancers depend upon the interaction between the genetic, epigenetic and carcinogenetic factors and their association with tumour growth and the progression of cancer. Genetic alteration changes give rise to a multiplex of oral mucosal changes like cellular and architectural and dysplastic changes which help in grading of tumour (well-differentiated, moderately differentiated and poorly differentiated) oral cancer. K-67 and cyclin D1 are strong genetic changes taking place in oral malignancies. Diagnostic biomarkers are an essential tool for the early detection and better prognosis of oral cancer. There are invasive and non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of oral cancer which include invasive procedures like biopsy and the non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures are blood, plasma, serum and saliva. The oral cancer biomarkers can be detected by taking the samples from cancer patients and running the molecular laboratory techniques like real time PCR for liquid biopsy, DNA sequencing, hybridization technique, single nucleotide polymorphism analysis and immunofluorescence for FFPS.
Methylation includes hypermethylation and hypomethylation in which there is a defect in the promotor region of CPG island. The methylation process takes place in the early phase of the initiation of cancer so it is an important biomarker for the early detection of oral cancer. HOXA9, NID2, P16 AND PTEN are the genes of interest for hypermethylation in early cancer detection.
Viral infection load like Epstein bar virus (EBV)and human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA load have specific biomarkers which can help in the early detection of oral cancer when combines with hypermethylation. Interferon and microRNA related gene are also upregulated in tumour and a biomarker for early detection of oral cancer.
Evaluasi Stategi Penerapan Harga dalam Menghadapi Kompetisi (Studi Kasus pada RSIA ABC)

Published: December 2023

Mother and child hospitals must have a competitive strategy in pricing to face competition because of the limited acceptance of patient services that are outside their specialty patients. On the basis of this competitive strategy, RSIA can create a pricing strategy to be able to take the existing market share. This study aims to evaluate pricing strategies with criteria for factors in setting prices, namely management strategies in dealing with competitors, customer interest, and costs. This research was conducted with an evaluation-based case study method and descriptive qualitative to describe the understanding related to the situation of the object of research carried out with the natural conditions of the object of research. The research was conducted by collecting data by interview, questionnaire and document. The object of this research is RSIA ABC with a pricing strategy for inpatient delivery in 2022. The results of this study are the inaccuracy of the pricing strategy by RSIA ABC where RSIA ABC uses the best cost provider in facing competitors but the prices offered tend to be expensive in normal labor services and competitive in SC / Caesarean delivery. The service features offered by RSIA ABC are also less in quantity than competitors. Patient opinions also corroborate the existence of errors in the strategy of applying prices and the mismatch of understanding the value of service features set by management as a competitive advantage by customers is considered not so important. In terms of cost calculation, RSIA ABC also does not calculate costs accurately and some costs are based on market analysis only. Therefore RSIA ABC must increase service features that are unique to RSIA ABC in quantity and customer assessment, as well as more accurate cost calculations based on an understanding of cost accounting.
