Authors: Zunaida Laily , Huggy Nur hikmah Pratiwi  
Published: August 2023

The idea of involving the community in the concept of the Madrasah Committee is an initiative in the context of advancing Madrasah, so that there is no perception that madrasah committee as the representative of parents and the community only gives a material contibution. Therefore, to carry out its roles and functions in achieving the quality of education, the madrasah committee must develop plans or programs in order to realize the goals that have been planned with madrasah.
This study aimed at describing the quality of education at MI DDI NURUL ISLAM Timika Papua, finding out the role of the madrasah committee in improving the quality of education at MI DDI NURUL ISLAM Timika Papua and also finding out what are the supporting and inhibiting factors for the madrasah committee in improving the quality of education at MI DDI NURUL Islam Timika Papua. The method used in this research is qualitative method with case sudy approach. The result of the research is that the madrasah committee has carried out its roles as Advisory Agency, Supporting Agency, Controlling Agency, and as Mediator (Executive). The Madrasah committe as Mediator (Executive) between the madrasah and the community is the most optimal role. This is due to the shared responsibility between the madrasah and the community as partners in building education. The supporting factors are the similarity in both vision and missions of the madrasah and the togetherness in planning programs of madrasah to improve the quality of education. Meanwhile, the obstacle is that madrasah committee has limited time due to busyness and this is the cause of the lack of coordination between the madrasah and the madrasah committee.

¿Pueden las Fuerzas Armadas ser garantes de la democracia?
Authors: Godoy Óscar 
Published: August 2023

El autor sostiene que la crisis experimentada por el país en la década de 1970 es la causa de que se les haya atribuido a las Fuerzas Armadas un rol de garantes del orden institucional incompatible con un sistema democrático. Asimismo, como parte de tal función, expone la naturaleza y dimensiones del aparato constitucional que les confiere a las Fuerzas Armadas participación en las instituciones y procesos políticos del país. Junto con exponer la doctrina de los garantes en una democracia, se revisan los principales argumentos que se han dado para justificar la atribución de esa función a las Fuerzas Armadas: tradición de participación política de las Fuerzas Armadas chilenas; intervenciones militares de facto en el escenario político durante el presente siglo, y la consecuente necesidad de darles una vía de expresión jurídica a través de instituciones como los senadores designados y el Consejo de Seguridad Nacional. El autor propone que a partir de los esenciales constitucionales, que forman parte del consenso político básico, se puede establecer un orden lexicográfico de los distintos garantes del orden institucional chileno. En ese orden, las Fuerzas Armadas tienen un lugar distinto del que le asigna la actual Constitución.

En la publicación original, el autor agradeció los valiosos comentarios de Lucas Sierra a este trabajo.

Authors: Zalaquett José 
Published: August 2023

Este artículo analiza el proceso de diálogo sobre derechos humanos que tuvo lugar en Chile entre agosto de 1999 y junio de 2000, por iniciativa del gobierno chileno y con la participación de militares, abogados de derechos humanos, académicos y dirigentes religiosos. Luego de referirse a las transiciones a la democracia, el autor hace un balance de logros e insuficiencias de las medidas sobre derechos humanos aplicadas en Chile desde 1990. Enseguida analiza la situación política chilena a partir de la detención del senador Augusto Pinochet en Londres, en 1998. En su parte central, el artículo examina los objetivos y metodología de la Mesa de Diálogo, los principales puntos de debate y los acuerdos alcanzados. Estos consisten en una proposición de mecanismos para encontrar la verdad sobre el paradero de los detenidos-desaparecidos y un reconocimiento de responsabilidades por la crisis política anterior a la dictadura, así como por las violaciones a los derechos humanos cometidas durante ella. El artículo concluye con un recuento de los pasos posteriores al acuerdo y con algunas consideraciones sobre los escenarios futuros.

Published: August 2023

Wildlife management propositions can generate social conflict when stakeholder perceptions of the target species are not taken into account. Introduced Ring-necked Parakeets (RNP), which are&nbsp; established in the UK, have been added to the &lsquo;general licence&rsquo; of&nbsp; birds that can be killed to prevent serious economic damage. We aim to better understand public perceptions of RNPs on a nationwide scale to mitigate potential future conflict over RNP management. We surveyed 3,947 UK residents to understand public awareness of, knowledge of and attitudes towards the RNP across the UK.
We found that most respondents (90.2%) were aware of the RNP. The majority of respondents knew the species&rsquo; name (54.9%) but many underestimated current population numbers in the UK (82.6%) and few knew its full native range (10.0%). Almost half (45.9%) of responses indicated negative attitudes towards the RNP. We found aversion towards the RNP&rsquo;s presence in rural areas and indifference in urban areas, highlighting that landscape and socio-cultural contexts are associated with attitudes. Respondent preference for the RNP in relation to other birds in their local neighbourhood was low (7.8%), contrasting with previous RNP perception studies. Conversely, most respondents (83.0%) agreed that the RNP had pleasant aesthetics , suggesting nuanced views that separate appearance from impacts. We identified respondents&rsquo; preference for the RNP, ecological interest, age and education as significant factors associated with perceptions.
The RNP has a strong and complex public profile in the UK, and these perceptions and their drivers would be important factors in the popularity and success of any proposed management initiatives.

Published: August 2023

In the present study, we aim to provide an inventory of digenetic trematodes (Platyhelminthes, Trematoda, Digenea) from Georgia including possibly all records available from the freshwater, marine and terrestrial realms. The checklist is based on a critical review of data from 109 papers, 11 monographs and four Ph.D. theses published between 1935 and 2019 and our new records. The checklist includes information on synonymy, the host species, site of infection, geographical distribution, and bibliographical references. The present data will serve as a baseline for further studies on trematodes from Georgia focused on integrative taxonomy, life-cycle elucidation, parasite ecology and epidemiology.
We compiled data on the digenean trematode fauna of Georgia, which is represented by 186 species (out of these 173 identified to species level) belonging to 108 genera and 48 families. This is the first checklist of the digeneans of Georgia. The majority of digenean species were recorded as adults (160 species), only a small part was found as cercariae (33 species) or metacercariae (24 species), in their first or second intermediate hosts, respectively. Predominantly records of trematodes (62 species) from birds were found, followed by those parasitizing fish (50 species, i.e 32 species as adults and 18 as metacercariae), mammals (33 species) and amphibians (25 species, i.e 23 species as adults and 2 as metacercariae), with the least number of species reported from reptiles (12 species, i.e 9 species as adults and 3 as metacercariae). Adult digeneans recorded together with another life-cycle stage (metacercariae and/or cercariae) comprised 28 species, i.e. for 15% of the total trematode species number a part of their life-cycle is known.

ObjectiveTo examine influences of sociocultural and economic determinants on physical therapy (PT) utilization for older adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsIn these annual cross-sectional analyses between 2012 and 2016, we accessed Medicare enrollment data and fee-for-service claims. The cohort included Medicare beneficiaries with RA based on 3 diagnosis codes or 2 codes plus a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug medication claim. We defined race and ethnicity and dual Medicare/Medicaid coverage (proxy for income) using enrollment data. Adults with a Current Procedural Terminology code for PT evaluation were classified as utilizing PT services. Associations between race and ethnicity and dual coverage and PT utilization were estimated with logistic regression analyses. Potential interactions between race and ethnicity status and dual coverage were tested using interaction terms.ResultsOf 106,470 adults with RA (75.1% female; aged 75.8 [SD 7.3] years; 83.9% identified as non-Hispanic White, 8.8% as non-Hispanic Black, 7.2% as Hispanic), 9.6-12.5% used PT in a given year. Non-Hispanic Black (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.77, 95% CI 0.73-0.82) and Hispanic (aOR 0.92, 95% CI 0.87-0.98) individuals had lower odds of PT utilization than non-Hispanic White individuals. Adults with dual coverage (lower income) had lower odds of utilization than adults with Medicare only (aOR 0.44, 95% CI 0.43-0.46). There were no significant interactions between race and ethnicity status and dual coverage on utilization.ConclusionWe found sociocultural and economic disparities in PT utilization in older adults with RA. We must identify and address the underlying factors that influence these disparities in order to mitigate them.

Risk of renal damage associated with intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy for diabetic macular edema in routine clinical practice
Authors: del Cura Mar Prieto , Carballés María J C , Sastre-Ibáñez Marina 
Published: August 2023

Purpose:
Vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (anti-VEGF) have been shown to be effective in the treatment of diabetic macular edema. However, there is little information about the systemic effects of intraocular administration of anti-VEGF drugs in patients with coexistent diabetic nephropathy because it can produce adverse renal effects.

Methods:
This retrospective cohort study analyzed the effect of intravitreal anti-VEGF drugs (bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or aflibercept) on eFGR and microalbuminuria (MicA) in patients with diabetic macular edema and nonproliferative retinopathy without chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Results:
Sixty-six patients were included, 54.5% male and 45.5% female, with a mean age of 66.70 ± 11.6 years. The mean follow-up of patients with antiangiogenic treatment was 42.5 ± 28.07 months, and the mean number of injections was 10.91 ± 7.54. In 12.1% of the cases, there was a worsening of the glomerular filtration rate (eFGR) and a 19.7% worsening of the microalbuminuria (MicA). The number of injections was not related to the worsening of the eFGR (P = 0.74) or the MicA (P = 0.239). No relationship was found between the type of drug and the deterioration of the GFR (P = 0.689) or the MicA (P = 0.53).

Conclusions:
Based on the results, there is a small proportion of patients with increase in MicA and the decrease in eFGR after anti-VEGF therapy, and these was no associated with the number of injection or the drug type. Ophthalmologists should be aware of renal damage in order to do a close monitoring of renal function and proteinuria after intravitreal administration of anti-VEGF mainly in hypertensive patients.
Epidemiology of animal bite in Iran: A Systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Shakerian Sareh , Sadraei Manijeh 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Despite a lot of efforts made in the rabies health-care system, Iran is still in an endemic region and millions are spent annually to prevent rabies.

Materials and Methods:
Searching in national and international databases has been performed. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses protocol were followed. To assess heterogeneity, the I-index was calculated. In addition, sensitivity analysis was performed by the remove-one method. The publication bias was also investigated by Egger’s regression test, and the trim and fill method. To perform a meta-analysis, CMA version 2 software was used.

Results:
Totally, 33 studies with 250,980 animal-bite cases were meta-analyzed. A summary estimate of the incidence of 1200 per 100,000 population (95% CI 1000, 1500) with a mean age of 29.97±15.13years (95%CI: 29.33, 30.61) was estimated. The rate in men was higher 76.7% (95%CI 74.7%, 78.8%) than in women and in the rural 49.7% (95%CI: 42.8%, 58.6%) was equal in the urban. Most bites occurred in the spring and summer 20.5% (95%CI: 16.1%, 25.9%). The highest of job-related bites was in students 20.1% (95%CI: 19%, 23%). The highest rate of bite location and the animal type were estimated in the order of lower limbs and by dogs respectively. The rate of complete vaccination 61% (95%CI: 43%, 76%) and immunoglobulin injection 39% (95%CI: 22%, 59%), were estimated respectively.

Conclusion:
Estimates reveal that there has been little change in the animal bites over the years. It is necessary to take special actions to control the disease at the national and international levels.

Authors: Mbanefo NR , Ogbuka FN , Nwaoha CA , Odimegwu CL , Uwaezuoke SN , Okafor HU 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT

Background/Aim:
Nephrotic syndrome is the most common glomerular disease of childhood. Majority of the idiopathic cases frequently respond to steroid therapy and are regarded as steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome. Several studies have reported a change in this usual pattern to steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in Nigerian children. This study aimed to determine the pattern of steroid sensitivity and steroid resistance in childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome seen at a tertiary hospital in Enugu, south-east Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective study conducted in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome seen at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozalla Enugu, over 5 years (from 2016 to 2020). The demographic variables, clinical data, and histopathological pattern were documented. Renal biopsies were studied by light microscope only.

Results:
Of a total of 150 patients, 105 (70%) were males, while 45 (30%) were females. Ninety six (64%) were aged 1-10 years. Fifty four (36%) were aged 11-18 years. Forty eight (32%) were aged 1-5 years. Mean age was 8.67 ± 4.69 years. One hundred and six (71%) initially had steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome; 12 (11.3%) and seven (6.6%) later became frequent-relapsers and steroid-dependent, respectively. Forty four (29.3%) had steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Sixty eight had renal biopsy; the most common indication being steroid-resistance. The most common histological pattern was focal segmental glomerulosclerosis seen in 63.2% of these patients. Only four (9%) had renal transplant.

Conclusion:
Although the prevalence of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome is higher in this clime, there is a rising incidence of steroid-resistant pattern attributed to incident cases of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
Epidemiological Trends and Seasonal Dynamics of Tuberculosis in Southeastern Turkey
Authors: Taylan M , Dogru S , Sezgi C , Yılmaz S 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health issue. Determining TB trend and seasonal variability provides useful information for designing treatment strategies and control programs.

Aim:
The present study attempts to investigate the epidemiological trend and the seasonal variations.

Materials and Methods:
TB data containing 2450 cases were collected over a period of seven years in the province of Diyarbakir in southeast Turkey. Trend function and seasonal variability were investigated by statistical curve fitting, surface fitting, and autoregressive time series analysis.

Results:
The study revealed a gradually decreasing trend in the number of TB cases over a period of seven years. Total TB incidence had seasonal variations (P = 0.04); there was a greater number of TB cases between April and July, with a peak in June. There were significant monthly seasonal variations with June peaks among females (P < 0.001), in patients in the age groups of 0–15 (P < 0.001) and 36–45 years (P < 0.001), in new cases (P < 0.001) and in the patients with pulmonary TB (P = 0.01). The extra-pulmonary TB cases peak in May (P = 0.01). Pulmonary TB and TB patients in the 36–45 age group had summer peak, while the other groups peaked at spring.

Conclusions:
Spring and summer peaks detected in total TB cases and in many subgroups indicate that multicenter and comprehensive clinical studies are needed to explain these variations.
