Objectives. To evaluate the effects of laminectomy surgery on pain, functional disability, sensitization and active trigger points in subjects with lumbar disc herniation.Methods. This study was a prospective pre‑post single group study. Seventy‑one patients (42 male and 29 female) have been enrolled in the research with an age range of 20–60 (48 ± 13.41). During 48 hours before surgery, patients were examined by a physiotherapist. Pain intensity were measured by visual analogue scale, disability by oswestry index (Persian version) and sensitivity level using pressure algometer. Three month after laminectomy, the patients were re‑examined for mentioned outcomes again.Results. The majority of the patients (23 cases, 32.4 %) revealed 3 active trigger points of the muscles before surgery. 60 subjects (84.5 %) experienced a gradual onset of leg pain without a trauma history. Lumbar multifidus (74.9 %), medial gastrocnemius (73.2 %), soleus (70.4) gluteus medius (62 %) were the most involved muscles with trigger points before laminectomy. On the other hand, after laminectomy medial gastrocnemius (54.9 %), lateral gastrocnemius (53.5 %), soleus (50.7 %), multifidus (39.4 %) and quadratus lumborum (39.4 %) were the most involved muscles with trigger points. The existence of trigger points in longissimus thoracis (p = 0.04), quadratus lumborum (p = 0.001), gluteus maximus (p = 0.04) and tibialis anterior (p = 0.02) were decreased significantly after laminectomy. Pain, disability and pain pressure threshold revealed significant differences before and after surgery.Discussion. The pattern of active trigger points of muscles was different before and after surgery. Multifidus and gastrocnemius were the most prevalent muscles with myofascial pain syndrome before and after surgery respectively.Conclusion. The present study revealed that pain, disability, number and prevalence of trigger points decreased after lumbar laminectomy. Nevertheless, pressure pain threshold of trigger points increased after surgery. The pattern of active trigger points of muscles was different before and after surgery. Multifidus and gastrocnemius were the most prevalent muscles with myofascial pain syndrome before and after surgery respectively. In fact, current results showed that active trigger points should be considered before and after laminectomy surgery

Introduction. Intracranial meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumors and are mostly benign, arising from the meninges surrounding the brain, nerves, and vessels. An obstacle to the surgical resection of meningiomas is the risk of injury to the superior sagittal sinus and the resulting compromise to the integrity of the venous drainage. This article describes a circular multiple trepanation technique, which can be used to safely perform resection of extracranial and intracranial meningiomas, aiming to reach the largest possible tumor area, since patient prognosis is directly proportional to tumor resection.Surgical technique. The first step is to make a horseshoe incision, then drill burr holes, forming a circumference around the bone meningioma. The next step is to connect the orifices, incising the dura mater affected by the tumor along the periphery of the extracranial meningioma. Subsequently, the bone and the dura mater are elevated. Thus, the bone and dural part are separated from the intradural part, which is, in turn, removed later. Results. The circular multiple trepanation technique was performed and a gross total resection of the extracranial and intracranial meningioma (Simpson grade I) was achieved. The postoperative period showed positive results, with an improvement in the patient’s eye disorder and interruption of generalized tonic‑clonic seizures.Conclusion. The circular multiple trepanation approach for treating extracranial and intracranial meningiomas described in this note is performed safely and effectively, with good patient prognosis. Although it is a recognized option, it has been insufficiently described, and it is therefore important to expand the knowledge and proper use of this technique among neurosurgeons.

Published: July 2023

Creating peace and harmony among communities is an Islamic teaching must be implemented to achieve goodness and harmony among humanity. It is what K.H. Masrur Ahmad MZ and his pesantren are currently doing, not only in theory but also in practice. This article aims to explain the practice of a tolerant and moderate interpretation of Islam, or often referred to as "Islam rahmatan li al-alamin," which is led by K.H. Masrur as the caretaker of Pesantren Al-Qodir. This research uses a qualitative method with a symbolic interaction approach. Data collection is carried out through in-depth interviews and observations, and relevant documentation is gathered. The results show that, by not eliminating the basic principles and values of Islam, the Islamic religiosity practiced in pesantren, Al-Qodir, is Islam that is able to sustain dialogue with various groups, other religions, cultures, and local communities. In this context, K.H. Masrur goes beyond the interpretation of a tolerant and moderate understanding of Islam, and also demonstrates how tolerance is implemented in real actions, such as inviting Christians to participate in the sacrifice of animals for Qurban, staging local art festivals, and other initiatives. Menciptakan perdamaian dan kebersamaan di kalangan masyarakat adalah ajaran Islam yang harus diimplementasikan agar tercipata kebaikan dan keharmonisan di antara umat manusia. Hal inilah yang sedang dilakukan K.H. Masrur Ahmad MZ dan pesantrennya, yang tidak hanya dalam tataran pemikiran atau teori tetapi juga praktik. Artikel ini bertujuan menjelaskan praktik keberagamaan Islam toleran dan moderat atau sering disebut Islam rahmatan li al-alamin yang dimotori oleh K.H. Masrur sebagai pengasuh pesantren Al-Qodir. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan interaksi simbolik. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dengan tidak menghilangkan prinsip-prinsip dasar dan nilai-nilai Islam, keberagamaan Islam di pesantren Al-Qodir adalah Islam yang mampu berdialog dengan berbagai kelompok, agama lain, budaya, dan masyarakat lokal. Dalam konteks ini, K.H. Masrur tidak berhenti dalam hasil penafsiran ajaran Islam yang toleran dan moderat, akan tetapi bagaimana praktik toleransi diimplementasikan dalam tindakan yang nyata, seperti mengundang kaum nasrani ikut dalam penyembelihan hewan kurban, pagelaran vestifal kesenian lokal, dan lainnya.

People with mental disorders are continually increasing every year. However, they are very few who seek treatment. The causative factor is the limited mental health services. One solution is to develop services based on Islamic boarding schools or pesantren. For pesantren, mental health is part of da'wah bil-irsyad or counseling.This paper aims to describe the role and potential of ibu nyai (female scholars of pesantren) in developing local community-based public health services. The study used a qualitative method with an ethnographic-hermeneutic approach. The results show that firstly, ibu nyai had the potential as leaders for female students, many are highly educated, some have colleges and health facilities, and some have sizeable social capital. Second, ibu nyai had a concern for health services because of her theological motivation and passion for da’wah. Third, ibu nyai has a powerful social network, which is expected to be helpful as a communication strategy for strengthening public health. Islamic boarding school-based public health has its own appeal and market share. This research is useful for developing public health science based on local wisdom. Masyarakat yang mengalami gangguan jiwa setiap tahun selalu meningkat. Mereka sedikit sekali yang berusaha mencari pengobatan. Faktor penyebabnya, karena terbatasnya layanan kesehatan mental. Salah satu solusinya, mengembangkan layanan yang berbasis pesantren. Bagi pesantren, kesehatan mental termasuk bagian dakwah bil-irsyad atau konseling. Tujuan tulisan ini untuk mendeskripsikan peran dan potensi ibu nyai dalam mengembangkan layanan kesehatan masyarakat berbasis komunitas lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnografi-hermeneutik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertama, para ibu nyai berpotensi sebagai pemimpin bagi santri perempuan, banyak yang berpendidikan tinggi, ada yang memiliki perguruan tinggi dan fasilitas kesehatan serta memiliki modal sosial yang besar.

Religious activities are basic things that are indispensable in life and are primary needs that must be met. Religious plurality is a social reality in life; it is a challenge to create religious harmony, but on the other hand, it is prone to conflict. The study aims to map religious activities in the settlement of religious plurality, namely Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism, in Balun village, Lamongan. It applied an environment behavior study approach with a place-centered mapping method to find individuals or groups using and accommodating their behavior in a certain time and space, with aspects studied, namely religious activities, space, and time. Data were obtained from direct observation and interviews with purposive, systematic samples. The results showed that religious activities at home with religious plurality were mapped into two categories: the religious activities of individuals or groups according to their religion; and the religious activities by inviting citizens to their religion and different religions. Mapping of space use showed that the use of semi-public and public space in the home for religious activities result in flexibility in spatial functions and changes in sacred-profane spatial boundaries. The research contributed to the theoretical development of using shared space in the home and creating a space of tolerance in Balun village's religious life. Kegiatan keagamaan merupakan hal mendasar yang sangat diperlukan dalam kehidupan dan menjadi kebutuhan primer yang harus dipenuhi.

Authors: Ofosu-Peasah Gideon 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Estimates show that Ghana losses approximately 30 percent of domestic revenue to corruption. Although losses due to corruption in Ghana’s extractive sector have not yet been quantified, the sector is plagued with incidents of corruption despite the country's commitment to international conventions, transparency mechanisms and best practices. A concerted efforts by state and nonactors is key to ease this canker. Understanding the role of CSOs and media in exposing corruption, promoting oversight and identifying the enablers and obstacles to their work is key to informing practise in the development space. This study examines the role of CSOs and media in the fight against extractive sector corruption. It identifies political economy factors that enable or hinder them in exposing corruption. Lastly, it identifies practical suggestions for surmounting the identified adverse political and economic factors. The research examines two cases of corruption, based on a desktop review and a survey of 11 state and non-state actors. A direct association between the role of CSOs and media and the level of corruption were established. Coalition building, using legal suits, sustaining advocacy, collaborations between media and CSOs are some enabling political economy factors identified. Inadequate resources to sustain advocacy, excessive duplicity of roles amongst oversight institutions, vested interests in extractive sector, inadequate prosecution of offenders by the legal system, inadequate evidence-based policy solutions by government, inadequate political will, limited access to information; little or no funding for legal action, increasing CSO and media employee turnover rates, are identified as some key political economy factors militating against efforts towards stemming corruption in Ghana’s extractive sector. These findings provide reliable information for CSOs and media in development practice, informs advocacy design, evaluates and improves media and CSO effectiveness in ridding the extractive sector of corruption.

Abstract
Today, one of the most basic strategies for a government's survival is to defend sensitive places and resources, and to achieve this goal, strategic and efficient approaches are required. The goal of this research is to determine the best way to defend sensitive systems in which the defender tries to minimize the damage caused by the attacker while taking into account budget constraints and the space needed for defense equipment, and the attack tries to maximize the defender's injury. In this case, the defense creates a number of artificial targets in order to deceive the attacker, all while attempting to decrease the risk of damaging sensitive systems by not attacking them definitively. The goal's economic, human, and symbolic worth must be considered by both the defender and the attacker. The defender attempts to minimize projected harm and defense costs. The attacker aims to do as much damage as possible while keeping the attack's cost low. The attacker will "maybe" identify the targets because they are unable to identify the virtual targets. For the first time, a program model was developed that considers the possibilities for identifying virtual targets, reliability structures with mixed strategies (active and cold standby), non-homogeneous components in parallel series systems, and the game theory approach to finding equilibrium. A nonlinear layout is provided to optimize defense subsystems. The results are modeled and the results are evaluated in this research.
