Context:
Family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension (HTN) and obesity, are known non-modifiable, independent and easily assessed risk factors for incident type 2 diabetes.

Aims:
This study was aimed at assessing the effect of self-reported family history on the levels of some metabolic markers (total homocysteine [tHcy], high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP] and glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c]) among patients with type 2 diabetes.

Settings and Design:
Two hundred and forty participants subdivided into Group 1 (T2DM only), Group 2 (T2DM diagnosed with HTN) and Group 3 (controls) were enrolled in a cross-sectional pattern.

Subjects and Methods:
A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on self-reported family history. Biochemical parameters were assayed using standard laboratory procedures.

Statistical Analysis Used:
SPSS version 20.0 was used for statistical analysis with significance at P ≤ 0.05.

Results:
Group 1: Family history of type 2 diabetes (FHD) (HbA1c, P < 0.001, fasting plasma glucose [FPG], P = 0.005, triglycerides [TG], P = 0.049), family history of HTN (FHTN) (HbA1c, P < 0.001, FPG P = 0.005), family history of obesity (FHO) (HbA1c, P < 0.001, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], P = 0.049). Group 2: FHD (tHcy, P = 0.021, HDL-C, P = 0.026), FHTN (tHcy, P = 0.035), FHO (HbA1c, P = 0.003, FPG, P = 0.001, TC, P < 0.001, TG, P = 0.019, LDL-C, P = 0.001). Group 3: FHD (tHcy, P = 0.004, HDL-C, P = 0.035), FHTN (FPG, P < 0.001, tHcy P = 0.010, TC, P = 0.037, TG, P = 0.003), FHO (hs-CRP, P < 0.001, HDL-C, P = 0.007, TG P = 0.001, LDL-C P = 0.019).

Conclusions:
Self-reported positive family history may provide insights into the biochemical and metabolic profile of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Published: August 2023

AbstractAdvancements in remote medical technologies and smart devices have led to expectations of contactless rehabilitation. Conventionally, rehabilitation requires clinicians to perform routine muscle function assessments with patients. However, assessment results are difficult to cross‐reference owing to the lack of a gold standard. Thus, the application of remote smart rehabilitation systems is significantly hindered. This study analyzes the factors affecting the real‐time evaluation of muscle function based on biometric sensor data so that we can provide a basis for a remote system. We acquired real clinical stroke patient data to identify the meaningful features associated with normal and abnormal musculature. We provide a system based on these emerging features that assesses muscle functionality in real time via streamed biometric signal data. A system view based on the amount of data, data processing speed, and feature proportions is provided to support the production of a rudimentary remote smart rehabilitation system.

Authors: Nasution Kharis 
Published: August 2023

The formulation of the problem in this research is how to implement, obstacles and efforts to optimize the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the implementation, obstacles and efforts to optimize the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta. This study uses a post-positivism research paradigm with a qualitative descriptive method. In this study, there were 7 informants who were interviewed. The data analysis technique used is data reduction, data presentation and conclusion and verification. The results of this study concluded: (1) The implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, was carried out by forming the Covid-19 Task Force based on the Decree of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Province Number 1023 of 2020 concerning the Task Force for Handling Covid-19 in DKI Jakarta Province. The North Jakarta Administrative City Covid-19 Task Force also appealed to all people to implement health protocols by implementing 3M, namely wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining distance and avoiding crowds. As for people who violate the rules will be subject to strict sanctions. (2) Obstacles in the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, include the low awareness and discipline of the community towards applicable regulations, as seen in the presence of places to eat that are open at night, places of worship that are still carrying out activities , the behavior of people who do not wear masks when outside the house, in crowds and so on. In addition, the minimal budget and the inadequate number of law enforcement and enforcement supervisors are factors hindering the optimal implementation of the PSBB policy. (3) Efforts that need to be made to optimize the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, one of which is by forming a Task Force Team for the Acceleration of Handling Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) consisting of various stakeholders to provide understanding and outreach to the public about the PSBB policy. Next is to fulfill the availability of infrastructure or supporting facilities for the implementation of the PSBB policy in handling Covid-19, such as the availability of masks, disinfectant fluids and also the availability of complete and adequate rapid test equipment. Another anticipatory step is preventive action from the government, especially the Ministry of Health, which cooperates with immigration in monitoring and preventing the entry of new viruses from outside to Indonesia through screening people who come to Indonesia.

Bank Muamalat is a pioneer of Islamic banking. With the existence of Bank Muamalat, other Islamic banks are now mushrooming. Besides that, Islamic banks promise to create economic stability.
Islamic banks are one of the avengers of punishment from Allah SWT for perpetrators of usury eating, and Islamic banks always invite people to stay away from eating usury. So avoid punishment.
Bank Muamalat always tries to be at the forefront of eradicating usury through its sharia banking. Bank Muamalat facilitates office space by building places of worship, such as small prayer rooms whose capacity is used according to the number of employees. Ordaining Islamic law not only limited to the problem of restricting usury, but it will always try to also adhere to other Islamic teachings, such as inviting employees to pray in the congregation when they are in the office, as well as temporarily closing office activities during prayer hours, such as at midday and midday prayers.
The impact of Da'wah in the field of Islamic Economics at Bank Muamalat can be felt today. With the Islamic economic approach as a medium of da'wah run by Bank Muamalat as a pioneer in Indonesia, we can see the spread of the Islamic system in various bank and non-bank financial institutions so that people can choose a service model. the services needed, whether banking, leasing, insurance, cooperatives, all exist with operational principles and sharia services.
Indicators of the role of Islamic economic da'wah in eradicating usury with the rise of bank and non-bank financial institutions, businesses, and sharia markets show that the influence of the sharia system has developed and grown widely in the people of the nation and state of Indonesia, so that it can be interpreted as the contribution of da'wah in eradicating usury has provided benefits to the Muslim community in particular, and the Indonesian people in general.
The contribution of the Islamic economy in eradicating usury by being the oldest bank that carries sharia principles, bank Muamalat has set an example for the Indonesian nation, how an Islamic financial institution whose work was doubtful at first, can survive decades and continue to grow to this day.

Prilog poznavanju mikroklime nekih šumskih staništa u području istočne Bosne
Authors: Stefanović Vitomir 
Published: August 2023

Pored međusobnih odnosa biljnih vrsta izraženih u prilagođavanju i u borbi za opstanak te faktora prošlosti i razvitka flore i vegetacije određenog područja, stanišni ušlo vi su jedan od glavnih činilaca u izgradnji biljnih zajednica. Čovjek svojim svjesnim djelovanjem mijenja često stanišne uslove, a posljedica toga je da se biljne zajednice mijenjaju u fizionomiji, sastavu i strukturi. Otud je poznavanje osobina staništa šumskih zajednica značajno ne samo u teoretskom nego i u praktičnom šumarskom smislu, jer ukazuje na mogućnost obnove vegetacije svuda gdje je ona uništena ili čovjekovim uticajem nepovoljno izmijenjena. Dosad su mnogi istraživači u inostranstvu posvetili svoje studije izučavanju ekologije staništa: J. Braun-Blanquet i P. Fukarek (1), J.Eggler (3), J. Fabijanowski (4), R.Geiger (5), G.Kraus (10), H.Lundegard (11), W. Lüdi (12),Pallmann-Frei (14) i drugi. U našoj zemlji poklanja se u novije vrijeme takođe pažnja istraživanju mikroklimatskih odnosa pojedinih šumskih staništa, a u okviru kompleksnih istraživanja fitocenoza: B. Jovanović (9), E. Ilić (8), L. Rajevski (15), V. Stefanović (16) i dr. U ovom radu iznose se rezultati istraživanja nekih osnovnih ekoloških svojstava staništa šumskih zajednica bijelog bora u odnosu na staništa šumske zajednice jele i bukve kao klimatogene šumske zajednice na području istočne Bosne. Cilj istraživanja je bio da se ustanove odnosi pojedinih klimatskih elemenata na jednom užem prostoru u nekoliko najkarakterističnijih šumskih zajednica. Jasno je da istraživanja ove vrste mogu imati samo relativnu vrijednost, jer bi za postizanje apsolutnih vrijednosti u ovom smislu bila potrebna posmatranja u znatno dužem vremenskom periodu. Šira fitocenološka istraživanja na području istočne Bosne izvršena su u razdoblju od 1955. do 1958. godine u sklopu zadataka bivšeg Zavoda za šumarsku botaniku Šumarskog fakulteta u Sarajevu.

Ovaj rad predstavlja nastavak istraživanja tipova šuma u Bosni i Hercegovini (Ćirić M. i dr., 1971., Fabijanić B. i dr., 1967.) s ciljem da se pruži šumarskoj praksi osnova za racionalnije iskorištavanje različitih šumskih staništa. Rad predstavlja sintezu fitocenoloških, pedoloških, šumskomeliorativnih i taksacionih istraživanja, a po načinu obrade i metodici je istovjetan kao i prethodni rad o klasifikaciji tipova bukovih šuma i mješovitih šuma bukve, jele i smrče u Bosni i Hercegovini (Ćirić M. i dr., 1971.).
Dio rada o vegetaciji obradili su Stefanović V. i Fabijanić B., o zemljištu Ćirić M. i Burlica Č., o taksacionim elementima Drinić P., o šumsko meliorativnim zahvatima Djikić S.
U radu su korišteni podaci iz prikupljenog materijala inventure šuma na velikim površinama u Bosni i Hercegovini (Matić V. i dr. 1971.). U obradu su uvršteni veći kompleksi degradiranih bukovih šuma u Bosni i Hercegovini (oko 27% površine svih degradiranih bukovih šuma u Bosni i Hercegovini) na jedrim mezozojskim krečnjacima, tercijernim krečnjacima, laporcima i glincima.
Rezultati istraživanja utjecaja proreda na prirast drvne mase po količini i kvalitetu u G.J. "Igman" kod Sarajeva
Authors: Pintarić Konrad 
Published: August 2023

Njega sastojina spada u one uzgojne mjere, kojima je cilj da do maksimuma iskoristi prirodne mogućnosti staništa, da plodnost zemljišta trajno održava u optimumu za date stanišne uslove, da privredi stavi na raspoloženje drvnu masu, koja bi u šumi najčešće propala, i da osigura trajnu proizvodnju maksimalne količine drvne mase, koja i po vrijednosti treba da je visoka.
O potrebi njege šuma danas se u krugovima šumarskih stručnjaka mnogo govori, jer su i mišljenja podijeljena. Dok jedni smatraju da pri današnjoj tehnologiji prerade kvalitet nije od značaja, drugi, koji su mnogobrojniji (Dekanić, 3; Koestler, 8,9; Leibundgut, 10; Hilf, 7; Petrović, 12; Pintarić, 15; Schaedelin, 16, i dr.) smatraju da je njega šuma neophodna iz više razloga: održava se ili čak i povećava plodnost zemljišta; povećava se kvalitet, a samim tim i vrijednost proizvodnje; u sastojini se održavaju bolji genotipovi; itd.
Protivnici njege šuma zasnivaju svoje mišljenje uglavnom na činjenici da je proizvodnja biomase stalna veličina i da se ona ne može povećavati njegom, što je i tačno, ali pri tome zaboravljaju da se samo njegom može vrijednost proizvodnje znatno povećati, jer prema Hilf-u (7), cilj proizvodnje u šumarstvu Srednje Evrope treba da budu vrijedniji sortimenti jer za to postoje povoljni uslovi, dok proizvodnju isključivo biomase bez obzira na kvalitet, treba prepustiti zemljama koje se nalaze u nepovoljnijim ekološkim, posebno klimatskim uslovima, kao što su Skandinavske zemlje ili sjeverni dijelovi euroazijskog odnosno sjevernoameričkog kontinenta (Pintarić, 15).
Problemi uredjivanja visokih šuma hrasta kitnjaka u SR Srbiji
Authors: Milin Živojin 
Published: August 2023

U brdsko-planinskom području SR Srbije van autonomnih pokrajina, javljaju se uglavnom četiri vrste hrasta i to: Quercus sessilis-kitnjak; Quercus cerris-cer, Quercus conferta-sladun, krupna granica i Quercus pubescens-medunac, sitna granica. Nabrojani hrastovi javljaju se u tri privredno značajne asocijacije i to:

Querceto-Carpinetum serbicum Rud.-srpska šuma kitnjaka i običnog graba,
Quercetum montanum serbicum Čer et Jov srpska šuma kitnjaka, i
Querceto confertae cerris Rud. šuma hrasta cera i sladuna.

Ostale asocijacije u kojima se ovi hrastovi javljaju, nemaju uopšte neki privredni značaj, te ih zbog toga i ne navodimo. Medjutim, nemaju svi navedeni hrastovi, a prema tome ni asocijacije u koje ulaze, ni približno isti privredni značaj. Tome je najviše doprineo čovek svojim uticajem. Prema Jovanoviću (1956.): "Areal šuma smanjen je odozdo, kraj ljudskih naselja, uglavnom u pojasu hrastova, prvenstveno radi potreba poljoprivrede" i dalje: "šuma hrasta cera i sladuna najvećim delom je iskrčena u Srbiji, preostali su zabrani sa kojima se gazduje kao sa niskom izdanačkom šumom".
EU FAST TRACK MEMBERSHIP: CAN IT HELP UKRAINE RESOLVE ITS REAL PROBLEMS?
Authors: Siddiqi Houma 
Published: August 2023

In 1991, during its inception process, Ukraine faced Russia's territorial claims and a cold reception from the Western world towards its leadership. After evaluating its internal and external interests, Ukraine chose to sign a friendship and cooperation agreement with Russia, compromising its rights as a sovereign state. This decision kept the complex issues of cross-border irredentism and multiple identities in check. However, during the democratic transition, external actors got involved in Ukraine's domestic politics, resulting in the removal of President Yanukovych's government. This critical juncture set the trajectory for unleashing Ukraine's state-ness issues. External involvement and political mismanagement aggravated Ukraine's problems and transformed its political issues into state-legitimacy issues, making its claim of a single entity void. Without state legitimacy, Ukraine cannot join the EU or consolidate as a democracy. Even if it enters the EU, it cannot safeguard its state sovereignty or achieve a profitable deal. This post-positivist research uses process tracing within a case study to highlight Ukraine's real problems and whether EU membership can help resolve them. The best solution for Ukraine is to focus on its domestic issues and negotiate with the other actor for a peaceful solution.

HYPERSONIC WEAPON SYSTEMS – A NEW WAVE OF ARMS RACE IN THE INDIAN OCEAN REGION
Authors: Raza Imran , Mehmood Nasir 
Published: August 2023

Technological advancements and tactical applications have always played a significant role in determining the outcomes of military conflicts. The emergence of Hypersonic Weapon Systems is considered a game-changer in contemporary and future warfare, as it can potentially dominate the early stages of conflict. Major powers like the US, China and Russia are pursuing technological superiority by developing hypersonic weapons, which could undermine conventional strategic capabilities and render even the most advanced air and missile defences obsolete. However, there has been limited discussion on the impact of deploying hypersonic weapons in the Indian Ocean region and its implications on strategic stability in the Pakistan-India military matrix. This paper examines the induction of hypersonic weapons by the Indian Navy, utilising insights from security dilemma and conventional deterrence theories to navigate the complex strategic landscape in the region. It contributes to the ongoing debate on the relationship between the arms race and conventional deterrence in Pakistan and India, highlighting the risks of an arms race in the Indian Ocean region. Without strategic dialogue on regulating hypersonic weapons systems, the chances of escalation and conflict could increase significantly.
