Authors: Nasution Deivy Zulyanti , Arafah Willy , Djati Sundring Pantja , Ingkadijaya Rahmat 
Published: November 2023

Muslim-friendly tourism is gaining popularity, particularly in tourist destinations where Muslims are a minority. This study examines the impact of destination awareness on satisfaction levels of Indonesian Muslim tourists in Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea. It emphasizes the need for implementing tourism tactics that cater to Muslim needs, such as halal food options, suitable accommodations, and services. The study also highlights the importance of digital resources in fostering destination awareness among Muslim communities. This research uses quantitative methodologies, including surveys and data analysis, to investigate the correlation between destination awareness and tourist satisfaction. The results of the study indicate that social media has a notable impact on increasing knowledge about locations, which in turn affects the level of awareness among tourists in destinations that are accommodating to Muslim needs. This study enhances the comprehension of destination awareness within the domain of Muslim-friendly tourism and emphasizes the necessity for proficient digital marketing tactics to allure Muslim tourists.

Pott's disease or tuberculous spondylodiscitis is one of the most serious forms of osteoarticular tuberculosis, responsible for spinal cord compression and/or "cauda equina" syndrome due to granulomatous and/or abscessed tuberculous epiduritis. Surgery therefore plays a key role in the management of this pathology, although surgical techniques vary widely from one author to another and from one department to another.
The aim of our work is to describe the different techniques used in our department during the study period, and to evaluate the results.
This is a prospective study concerning 34 cases of dorsolumbar and lumbar Pott's disease collised in the neurosurgery department of Niamey National Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021.
Analysis of our results found 26 men and 8 women with a sex ratio of 3.25; the extreme ages were 11 and 76 years and the mean age was 40.53 years. 20 patients presented with dorsal cord compression syndrome, 12 with cauda equina syndrome, 6 with conus medullaris syndrome and 2 with multifocal localization.
CT was performed in all patients and MRI in only one. All patients were treated with antibacillary chemotherapy. In 16 patients (47.06%), a posterolateral approach consisting of hemilaminectomy, pediculotomy and unilateral arthrectomy was used; in 9 patients (26.47%) a posterior approach consisting of fenestration; and laminectomy in 4 patients (11.76%). An anterior approach in 3 patients (8.82%), consisting of a corpectomy and an antero-lateral approach (pediculo-artrectomy-corpectomy) in 2 patients (5.89%). All our patients underwent debridement, evacuation of residual pus and sequestrectomy. Out of the debridement filling of the defect was performed in 23 cases with a spinous graft, 2 with fibula, 2 with a rib graft and one with an iliac bone graft.
At 4 months post-surgery, radicular signs had completely disappeared in all patients, and sensory-motor deficit had improved in 30 patients (88.23%). There was a reduction in kyphosis in all patients who had benefited from an anterior approach, compared with 41.38 % who had undergone a posterior approach.

Kajian ini dibagi menjadi 3 rumusan masalah: (1) Bagaimana sejarah parewa sara’ pra peristiwa rumpa’na tana Bone, (2) Bagaimana kontribusi parewa sara’ ketika berlangsungnya peristiwa rumpa’na tana Bone, (3) Bagaimana kedudukan parewa sara’ pasca peristiwa rumpa’na tana Bone.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan atau library research. Pendekatan yang digunakan yaitu: (1) Pendekatan Sejarah, (2) Pendekatan Budaya, (3) Pendekatan Etnografi. Sumber data ada dua macam yaitu sumber data primer dan sumber data sekunder, sedangkan langkah-langkah penelitian yakni: (1) Heuristik (pengumpulan sumber), (2) Kritik Sumber, (3) Interpretasi, (4) dan Historiografi.
Hasil penelitian ini berupaya mengungkap otoritas Parewa Sara’ pra dan pasca peristiwa Rumpa’na Tana Bone dalam kurun waktu 1824-1931. Pengungkapan pertama: struktur pemerintahan Kerajaan Bone sebelum dan setelah Islam sebagai agama resmi kerajaan. Kedua, peranan Parewa Sara’ yang memiliki otoritas dalam memandang peristiwa yang akan dihadapi Kerajaan Bone ketika berhadapan dengan Hindia Belanda. Pandangan ini terlihat setelah Hindia Belanda melakukan penyerangan guna menguasai pelabuhan yang ada di Bone. Pukulan mundur yang terus dilakukan Belanda membuat lasykar-lasykar Bone kewalahan sehingga peristiwa ini diistilahkan Rumpa’na Tana Bone. Dan ketiga, akibat kemenangan Belanda dalam perang yang telah berlangsung membuat sisyem pemerintahan Kerajaan Bone diambil alih oleh pihak Belanda dan Parewa Sara’ yang tadinya memiliki kedudukan dalam pemerintahan Kerajaan Bone sudah jarang dijumpai dalam pengungkapan perannya dalam pemerintahan.

Écrire sous fatigue. Devenirs révolutionnaires d’une poésie de l’épuisement chez Isabelle Dumais
Authors: Desmeules Anne-Marie 
Published: November 2023

Isabelle Dumais faisait paraître en 2019Les Grandes Fatigues, où elle décrit le difficile parcours que provoque un épuisement et l’incursion du sujet fatigué dans la lenteur. Ce recueil de poésie donne à lire la formation de nouveaux possibles, frêles mais tenaces, qui détiennent le potentiel de transformer le monde, de le rendre plus accueillant. Cette analyse s’intéresse aux processus qui mènent à ces renversements « infra politiques », dont parle Romain Huët, dans le texte et dans l’acte d’écriture lui-même. Comment en effet le repos, même forcé, offre-t-il l’opportunité de transformer une posture d’asservissement en mouvement d’affirmation personnelle et artistique ?
Trahir
Authors: Morency Catherine 
Published: November 2023

Dans cet essai, l’autrice interroge la notion de vocation en partant d’un présupposé : arriver à l’œuvre participerait tant d’un besoin de trahison que d’un désir d’appartenance. Elle remonte les étapes qui façonnent l’œuvre à venir, sondant, dans les textes qui l’ont nourrie et chez les penseurs.ses qui contribuent à aiguiser son regard sur le mécanisme créateur, les matériaux à l’origine d’une refonte de soi en même temps que de la création d’une forme poétique. En dehors des carcans du langage mais en marge d’une intériorité qui peut devenir claustration, l’autrice cherche un espace en elle qui pourra donner lieu à ce que Beckett nomma innommable, et qui pourtant a beaucoup à dire, à inventer.
Shining a light on duckweed: exploring the effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on growth and pigmentation
Authors: Nakagawa-Lagisz Totoro , Lagisz Malgorzata 
Published: November 2023

Background
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a novel environmental stressor of global concern. Various sources of artificial light are now common in urbanized areas and have diverse negative effects on many species of animals and plants. However, ALAN has also been shown to have no effect or a positive effect on some organisms. This study investigates the impact of ALAN on the growth and leaf pigmentation of a common floating freshwater plant species.

Methods
We exposed wild-derived dotted duckweed (Landoltia punctata) to either darkness during the night (Control group) or to artificial light at night (ALAN group) for 49 days. We set up two large boxes of eighty samples each with 2–3 leaves of duckweed in each sample at the start of the experiment. The ALAN box had an opaque lid with a small lamp that was turned on at night. The Control box was also covered at night with an opaque lid but without a lamp. During the day, plants in both boxes were exposed to natural light. We counted the number of leaves in each sample weekly. We took photos of the samples on day 28 to measure the total leaf surface area per sample. On day 49, we took photos of the underside of the leaves for analyses of the relative levels of dark pigmentation across all samples.

Results
We found that ALAN-exposed plant samples had, on average, more leaves than control plants after a few weeks of exposure. They also had a more variable number of leaves per sample. The total leaf area per sample on day 28 was larger in the ALAN samples. The underside of the leaves on day 49 was, on average, darker in the ALAN plants than in the control plants.

Conclusion
There is a significant growth-enhancing effect from exposure to artificial light at night on Landolita punctata. However, higher variability induced by ALAN exposure indicates that ALAN is also a stressful condition for these plants. This is in line with our finding of the presence of larger amounts of dark pigments in the leaves of ALAN-exposed plants. Dark pigmentation in duckweed species could be a defence mechanism protecting tissues from stress-induced oxidative damage. Overall, both positive and negative effects of ALAN can be observed simultaneously in different traits of the same organism. Increased individual variation can facilitate population-level adaptation to stressful conditions. As such, this work contributes to our knowledge of the effects of light pollution in urban environments on common plants.
The effect of smoking on respiratory functions in athletes
Authors: Aydin Serkan 
Published: November 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of smoking on respiratory functions in athletes. A total of 12 American football players with an age, height and body mass means of 22.50±1.62 years, 182.83±5.85 cm., 88.91±18.99 kg. voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were competitive players with at least five years of continuous training and competition experience. Respiratory functions of the athletes were measured with a Minispir hand-held spirometer. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) values were measured. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 26 package program. Because the distribution of the data was not normal, the Mann Whitney-U test and Spearman correlation test, a nonparametric test, were used to compare the data between the smoker and non-smoker groups. The significance level was accepted as p<0.05. Although numerically positive effects were found on the respiratory function of non-smokers compared to smokers, there was no statistically significant difference or correlation relationship between the data constituting these effects. As a result, it was found that the respiratory function of American football players who smoked cigarettes was lower than that of non-smokers. In line with these results, it can be stated that smoking has a negative effect on respiratory functions.

Published: November 2023

Water pollution from rivers and lakes has resulted in serious environmental issues on a global scale. The public's growing concern over the decline in river and lake water quality makes it more important than ever to assess the water quality of these bodies of water over a prolonged period of time. During the rainy and dry seasons of 2022, 120 water samples were collected from 5 monitoring stations located within River Njoro and Lake Nakuru. The samples underwent physicochemical analysis of selected water parameters, which included salinity, temperature, pH, turbidity, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), electric conductivity (EC), and total dissolved solids (TDS). The results were compared using the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) of Kenya's guidelines and the results showed that the water quality of the Njoro river and Lake Nakuru fluctuated with the seasons, particularly in the lower water column of river Njoro. The quality parameters had the following values; EC values range between 73.33 ± 0.55 μs/cm - 533.33 ± 0.64 - μs/cm, respectively for both seasons; Salinity values range from 0.085 ± 0.02 ppt - 2.59 ± 0.03 ppt; pH values were between 8.8 – 9.3; Temperature was 23.69 ± 0.07 °C – 14.22± 0.07°C; Turbidity varied significantly – 13.95 ± 0.27 NTU - 36.03 ± 0.35 NTU; TDS between 46.67 ± 0.11 ppm- 243.33 ± 0.04 ppm; TN ranges between 5.97 ± 3.24 mg/L - 8.57 ± 3.18 mg/L and TP 7.49 ± 1.7-9.41 ± 1.84 mg/L in the dry and rainy seasons, for River Njoro and Lake Nakuru respectively. This study showed that the degree to which human activity affects water quality varies with the season. Therefore, most of these factors should be considered while controlling rivers downstream in order to ensure the health of aquatic life, also it is essential to increase lake water quality monitoring and regulate human activity. Additionally, the results revealed that water pollution resulted primarily from domestic wastewater, agricultural runoff and industrial effluents.

AbstractThis work presents the dosimetric characteristics of Total Body Irradiation (TBI) delivered using a dedicated Co‐60 TBI unit. We demonstrate the ability to deliver a uniform dose to the entire patient without the need for a beam spoiler or patient‐specific compensation. Full dose distributions are calculated using an in‐house Monte Carlo treatment planning system, and cumulative dose distributions are created by deforming the dose distributions within two different patient orientations. Sample dose distributions and profiles are provided to illustrate the plan characteristics, and dose and DVH statistics are provided for a heterogeneous cohort of patients. The patient cohort includes adult and pediatric patients with a range of 132–198 cm in length and 16.5–37.5 cm in anterior‐posterior thickness. With the exception of the lungs, a uniform dose of 12 Gy is delivered to the patient with nearly the entire volume receiving a dose within 10% of the prescription dose. Mean lung doses (MLDs) are maintained below the estimated threshold for radiation pneumonitis, with MLDs ranging from 7.3 to 9.3 Gy (estimated equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) of 6.2‐8.5 Gy). Dose uniformity is demonstrated across five anatomical locations within the patient for which mean doses are all within 3.1% of the prescription dose. In‐vivo dosimetry demonstrates excellent agreement between measured and calculated doses, with 78% of measurements within ±5% of the calculated dose and 99% within ±10%. These results demonstrate a state‐of‐the‐art TBI planning and delivery system using a dedicated TBI unit and hybrid in‐house and commercial planning techniques which provide comprehensive dosimetric data for TBI treatment plans that are accurately verified using in‐vivo dosimetry.

Published: November 2023

AbstractUV radiation is the main cause of skin aging and cancers. Commercial sunscreens suffer from low efficacy and poor safety, while ceria nanocrystals are promising inorganic UV filters. Herein, the lumen of natural halloysite clay nanotubes (HNTs) is employed for the confined growth of ceria nanocrystals, which can effectively tailor the particle size, morphology, distribution, and oxygen vacancies of the ceria. The ceria in HNTs lumen exhibits increased UV protection and catalytic activity, while the outer surfaces of HNTs can be retained for additional modification. Ceria‐loaded HNTs (named CeOx@HNTs) can act as oil–water interfacial stabilizers to develop skin‐friendly Pickering emulsion sunscreens. Attributed to the Pickering emulsion interfacial catalytic effect of CeOx@HNTs, the UV absorption performance of the sunscreens is enhanced by 3.1 times after emulsification, achieving a sun protection factor of 58.5. In vitro and in vivo studies confirm the effectiveness of the prepared sunscreen in mitigating DNA damage, apoptosis, and malignant transformation. In addition, the sunscreen inhibits biofilm formation by disturbing membrane homeostasis through oxidative stress. This work develops a confined‐growth method of rare earth oxides within tubular nanoclays, which shows promising applications in many fields, such as aging resistance, photoluminescence, and chemical catalysis.
Ciprofloxacin‐Loaded, pH‐Responsive PAMAM‐Megamers Functionalized with S‐Nitrosylated Hyaluronic Acid Support Infected Wound Healing in Mice without Inducing Antibiotic Resistance

Published: November 2023

AbstractAntimicrobial‐resistant bacterial infections threaten to become the number one cause of death by the year 2050. Since the speed at which antimicrobial‐resistance develops is exceeding the pace at which new antimicrobials come to the market, this threat cannot be countered by making more, new and stronger antimicrobials. Promising new antimicrobials should not only kill antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria, but also prevent development of new bacterial resistance mechanisms in strains still susceptible. Here, PAMAM‐dendrimers are clustered using glutaraldehyde to form megamers that are core‐loaded with ciprofloxacin and functionalized with HA‐SNO. Megamers are enzymatically disintegrated in an acidic pH, as in infectious biofilms, yielding release of ciprofloxacin and NO‐generation by HA‐SNO. NO‐generation does not contribute to the killing of planktonic Gram‐positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram‐negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but in a biofilm‐mode of growth short‐lived NO‐assisted killing of both ciprofloxacin‐susceptible and ciprofloxacin‐resistant bacterial strains by the ciprofloxacin released. Repeated sub‐culturing of ciprofloxacin‐susceptible bacteria in presence of ciprofloxacin‐loaded and HA‐SNO functionalized PAMAM‐megamers does not result in ciprofloxacin‐resistant variants as does repeated culturing in presence of ciprofloxacin. Healing of wounds infected by a ciprofloxacin‐resistant S. aureus variant treated with ciprofloxacin‐loaded, HA‐SNO functionalized megamers proceed faster through NO‐assisted ciprofloxacin killing of infecting bacteria and stimulation of angiogenesis.
