Authors: Tana Anugrah Alvionitha , Lintje Kalangi  , Heince R. N. Wokas  
Published: January 2024

This research was motivated by the dependence of Regional Government, especially North Sulawesi Provincial Government on Transfer Funds in financing their regional expenditure. This was exacerbated when the covid-19 pandemic occured where covid-19 handling and control activities became the government’s main focus. Therefore, this study conducted to analyze the process of allocating Transfer Funds on regional expenditure by the North Sulawesi Provincial Government before and during the covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach, and the results are analyzed with the analysis technique of Miles and Huberman Model. The results showed that there were differences occurred in the focus of allocating regional expenditure which during the covid-19 pandemic was directed to spending on handling and controlling covid-19, while previously, regional expenditure was allocated to priority programs according to the vision and mission of Governor. Limited fiscal space during the covid-19 pandemic has also affected the pattern of budget allocations so that the Regional Government Budget Team (TAPD) has became more selective in allocationg budget. The efforts that have been made by the North Sulawesi Provincial Government through the Regional Financial and Asset Agency (BKAD) to overcome the constraints on expenditure allocations during covid-19 pandemic are refocusing and reallocating the budget by identifying types of budgets that are not urgent to use, conducting supervision and assistance to the regional apparatus, and conducting regular evaluation of Transfer Funds and financial implementation in regional apparatus level to prepare financial reports. The results also show that the North Sulawesi Provincial Government has not established a policy on the use of General Allocation Funds (DAU) and Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH) that have not been allocated.

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to explore the cross-cultural differences in online communication patterns.
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 revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the cross-cultural differences in online communication patterns. Preliminary empirical review revealed the importance of cultural sensitivity in the digital age. It has emphasized the need for individuals and organizations to adapt their online communication practices to accommodate the rich tapestry of cultures that populate the digital landscape. By doing so, we can foster more meaningful and harmonious cross-cultural online interactions, ultimately contributing to a more interconnected and culturally aware global society.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Cultural Dimensions theory, Communication Accommodation theory and Media Richness theory may be used to anchor future studies on online communication patterns. The study suggested the several recommendations to enhance cross-cultural online communication. These include promoting cultural sensitivity in online communities, customizing user experiences to align with cultural preferences, emphasizing digital literacy and cross-cultural training, and investing in ongoing research and data-driven strategies. Implementing these recommendations can foster respectful and inclusive online interactions in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, benefiting individuals, organizations, and online platforms alike.

Authors: Begum Sameera , Gurmitkal Balakrishna , Mahmood Khan Diwan , Abdulla Riaz 
Published: January 2024

Introduction and Aim: Tobacco consumption is one of the most common etiological factors of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). South-East Asia is among the top manufacturers and consumers of tobacco products. Hence this study aimed to report the role of tobacco habits and their association with the clinicopathological characteristics of OSCC patients.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 188 OSCC cases from 2016 – 2021 was included. The data collected from the biopsy records were reviewed for the history of tobacco habits and its association with demographic, clinical, and histopathological features of OSCC.

Results: The majority had the habit of chewing tobacco alone (37%) and for a duration of 15 years and smoking habits for 16 – 30 years of duration. Majority of tumours were located on buccal mucosa and most tumours on the buccal mucosa were associated with tobacco chewing habits. The female patients had a habit of tobacco chewing alone (53.3%) compared to other habits. There was a statistically significant association of habits with tumour location (P = 0.011) and gender ( P = 0.007).

Conclusion: The present study highlights the prominent role of tobacco habits in the development of OSCC among patients in South India. Effective tobacco control is important for management of non-communicable diseases. Further, the government of India should also implement tobacco control policies and increase the prices and tax on tobacco products across the nation which can curb tobacco usage among the population.

Published: January 2024

Introduction and Aim: In 2010, it was estimated that there were 500 million obese people and 1.4 billion overweight people in the world. This study seeks to assess an approach for neuromuscular monitoring in obese patients with abdominal interventions.

Materials and Methods: The patients were between the ages of 18 and 56, with a mean age of 37.0 years. Out of the 34 patients, 15 (45%) were males and 19 (55%) were females. All patients were categorized into two groups: Group 1 includes 21 patients with a normal body mass index, and Group 2 includes 13 patients with a body mass index ranging from 30.1 to 40.0 or higher.

Results: People in group 1 who responded to T2 and T3 in the Train of Four-stimulation mode were given Sugammadex at a dose of 2 mg/kg, which is 205.90 mg. In group 2, the recovery of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) occurred independently. The time between the last dose of rocuronium and the end of the breathing tube was 48.00 minutes in group 1 and 64.91 minutes in group 2. This showed that patients in group 1 recovered from NMB statistically significantly faster (t = -4.636).

Conclusion: In obese patients, it is especially important to restore the NMB quickly and completely after surgery.

Introduction and Aim: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is globally distributed throughout the world and is also a significant burden for global health. This study was to evaluate the epidemiological status of CE in Kyrgyzstan.

Materials and Methods: This descriptive and analytical study conducted an epidemiological analysis of the parameters of patients with CE in Kyrgyzstan from 1986–2022. The population morbidity rate was calculated using the following formula: where k is the required indicator, an is the number of cases per year, and b is the average yearly population.

Results: The average intensive indicator increased by 1.8 times compared to the previous indicator and by 3.9 times compared to the initial indicator due to private veterinary service. Most of the recorded morbidity cases (22%) were found in Osh and attributed to the surgical treatment facility for patients residing in the southern regions. Highly intensive morbidity rates of children are observed in Batken, ranging from 4.9% to 3.2% in Osh and Naryn. In the northern region, Talas is in the lead with an average intensive indicator of -1.5%.

Conclusion: The increasing morbidity rate in Kyrgyzstan, which is growing at a rate of 3.5% annually, makes the invasion by CE a serious medical emergency.

Published: January 2024

Introduction and Aim: Parasitic infections continue to be among the most serious issues facing public health. Globally, over 1.5 billion people have at least one helminth infection. The most common illness among people in developing nations is helminthiasis. This study aims to assess the frequency and risk factors of intestinal parasitic infections in children in four major cities in Kyrgyzstan, such as Osh, Naryn, Jalal-Abad, and Batken.

Materials and Methods: Sentinel epidemiological monitoring gathered and processed the feces of 39,398 children from four cities in Kyrgyzstan between 2015 and 2021. This study is descriptive and analytical. Enterobiasis was studied using the scraping method. The children included in this study were from the cities mentioned.

Results: For the period from 2015 to 2021, the average incidence rate of mixed infections per 1000 examined persons was 9.8. Studies have revealed that combinations of helminth + protozoan or pinworm + giardia parasites were more prevalent (26.70%) in children with mixed infections. Enterobiasis (39.8%), giardiasis (29.4%), ascariasis (18.9%), and dwarf tapeworm (11.7%) are parasitic infections in the studied regions.

Conclusion: Parasitic diseases in children in three cities out of 385 cases, which is 8.6%, proceed as mixed infections with a coinfection with two or more parasites.

Introduction and Aim: The examination of the pupils is an integral part of any patient undergoing neuropsychological and ophthalmological evaluation. The manual examination of pupils has its own limitations. A more reliable technique for determining the size and reactivity of pupils is required. Hence, the study was done to examine the repeatability and reproducibility of dynamic pupillary parameters using an infrared pupillometer in the Indian population in routine clinical settings.

Materials and Methods: A total of three paired pupillary measurements were completed within 6 minutes by two observers under identical ambient conditions with NPi-200 pupillometer in 30 healthy participants aged 18 to 60 years, providing a total of 60 paired measurements.

Results: The ICC values for Neurological Pupil Index, Maximum Pupil Diameter, and Minimum Pupil Diameter were greater than 0.90, signifying excellent agreement. For Change in Pupil Size, Constriction Velocity, Maximum Constriction Velocity, Latency, and Dilatation Velocity, the ICC ranged from 0.75 to 0.90, indicating good agreement between measurements by Observer 1 and between measurements (No. 2 and 3) by Observer 1 and Observer 2.

Conclusion: We found excellent agreement regarding repeatability and reproducibility of dynamic pupillary parameters using an automated quantitative pupillometer. In general, the findings of this study affirm the effective performance of automated quantitative pupillometry in routine clinical settings.

Authors: N. Patil Gurupadagoud , Walvekar S. S. , S. Patil Bhimashetty , S. Aski Basavaraj , Devarnavadagi B. B. 
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that has a number of allopathic treatments in practice which are having adverse side effects. Mangiferin and giloy are the important Ayurvedic medications. Both have effective control over diabetes glycemic status. It is possible that the treatment of certain herbal remedies led to an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels or that glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was enhanced through activating glucose transporter-2 (GLUT-2) receptors. In our work, we rigorously examined the chemical and biological properties of giloy and mangiferin. Clinical study on the effect of mangiferin and giloy combined extract solution in type 2 diabetic subjects and determine the level of Fasting Blood sugar, insulin and HbA1c in type 2 diabetic subjects before and after therapy.

Materials and Methods: A randomized cross-sectional study was conducted on type 2 diabetic subjects. Study design with group 1 diabetic subjects (n=45) of FBS less than or equal to 160 mg/dl) and diabetic subjects group 2 (n=49) of FBS more than 160 mg/dl were included with regular antidiabetic drugs; in addition, for the period 30 days, twice a day, 500 mg mangiferin and 500 mg giloy extract was given to group 1 and group 2. The difference between the groups was calculated using the t-test and Mann-Whitney U test.

Results: It is evident from the statistical data a significant change seen in HbA1c levels , FBS levels and insulin values while comparing group 1 and group 2 diabetic subjects. However, in group 1 and group 2 creatinine levels did not show much change.

Conclusion: Our study findings indicate that mangiferin and giloy extract is a better regime for the effective glycaemic control by an increase in insulin levels. Further, herbal leaf extract is a good natural source and cost-effective with no adverse side effects.

LA «TEORÍA DEL INTERÉS DE 1876» DE EUGEN VON BÖHM-BAWERK
Authors: Fuller Edward W. , Bagus P. , Geiger James 
Published: January 2024

Hay una serie de documentos misteriosos en la historia del pensamiento económico. El Tratado sobre contratos de Petrus Iohannis Olivi ([1295] 2016) y el Ensayo sobre el comercio en general de Richard Cantillon ([1755] 2010) (escrito alrededor de 1730) son quizás los ejemplos más notables. La razón del misterio que rodea a estos documentos se puede explicar fácilmente. En el primer caso, Olivi fue condenado por herejía y sus huesos esparcidos. En el segundo, Cantillon se vio envuelto en la infame Burbuja del Mississippi y probablemente fingió su muerte para evitar numerosas demandas. Para los académicos actuales, Olivi y Cantillon son figuras destacadas en la historia temprana de la ciencia económica (Thornton 1999; Langholm 2009). Pero la polémica en torno a sus vidas hizo que sus escritos permanecieran en la oscuridad durante generaciones.La «Teoría del Interés de 1876» de Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk es un documento misterioso. Esto es desconcertante, porque no fue una persona controvertida, como Olivi o Cantillon. Nadie puede negar que Böhm-Bawerk fue uno de los grandes economistas de todos los tiempos (Schumpeter [1954] 1994, 847; Robbins [1979-81]1998, 287). Fue un eminente profesor y estadista, y la importancia de su obra clásica Capital e interés fue ampliamente reconocida antes de morir el 27 de agosto de 1914.

aʔkwaⁿdaʔtsǫⁿgyaʔ—We All Made Pottery: A Wendat Perspective to Ancestral Wendat Pottery Making
Authors: Dorland Steven G. H. , Braun Greg V. , Kwan Daniel H. , Smith David G. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis article investigates ancestral Wendat pottery making in southern Ontario through the Wendat perspective of Sǫhahiyǫh, a Wendat potter. Our study is based on eyewitness accounts of Sǫhahiyǫh making pots, along with detailed photographs and his own artistic reflections on his gestures related to all stages of pottery making. To create a detailed description that sheds light on ancestral Wendat potting communities and their practices, we investigate the entanglement of material interactions, personalized embodied knowledge of a highly skilled potter, and Wendat practices and beliefs. Our research provides an enhanced understanding of ceramic traditions and demonstrates the opportunities that arise from building relationships with Indigenous community members and centering Indigenous perspectives to study past material practices in the Lower Great Lakes region.
