Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana implikasi Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE) terhadap kerukunan kehidupan beragama di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan normatif sosiologis dengan data primer adalah UU ITE dan kasus-kasus di media yang berkaitan dengan ujaran kebencian, penistaan agama, dan persoalan intoleransi lainnya. Tulisan ini berpendapat bahwa secara normatif, peraturan tersebut telah mencoba membangun kehidupan beragama yang harmonis di masyarakat dengan menegaskan pada pasal 28 ayat (2) tentang larangan menimbulkan rasa kebencian dan permusuhan antara sesama. Meskipun demikian, dalam tataran sosiologis, peraturan ini belum berjalan sesuai fungsinya, sehingga belum berdampak positif bagi keharmonisan kehidupan beragama di Indonesia. UU ITE muncul ketika “telah dilanggar” bukan pada tataran “peredam”. Hal ini disebabkan masih terdapat beberapa frasa undang-undang yang belum tegas dan masih menimbulkan multitafsir. Hal yang terjadi kemudian adalah aksi saling lapor atau ajang balas dendam dengan menggunakan UU ITE sebagai dasar. Pada akhirnya, kerukunan kehidupan beragama di Indonesia belum tercapai dengan baik.
Kata Kunci: UU ITE, kerukunan, kehidupan beragama

This paper aims to see how the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE law) affects religious harmony in Indonesia. This study uses a sociological normative approach with the primary data being the ITE Law and cases in the media related to hatred, blasphemy, and other tolerance issues. This paper argues that normatively, the regulation has tried to build a harmonious religious life in society by affirming Article 28 paragraph (2) concerning the prohibition of causing hatred and enmity between others. However, at the sociological level, this regulation is not yet in accordance with its function, so it does not have a positive impact on religious life in Indonesia. The ITE Law appears when it "has been violated" not at the "silencer" level. This is because there are still several legal phrases that are not yet firm and still lead to multiple interpretations. What happened then was an act of mutual reporting or revenge using the ITE Law as a basis. In the end, the harmony of religious life in Indonesia has not been achieved properly.

Published: September 2022

An essential part of commercial poultry production is safeguarding flocks of birds against contamination by unwanted microorganisms. Currently, a serious issue called salmonellosis poses a threat to the chicken industry globally. The two most virulent serovars in avian species, Salmonella gallinarium and Salmonella pullorum (Fowl Typhoid) cause systemic infection and significant financial losses in the poultry sector. Salmonella nontyphoidal serotypes (Paratyphoid illness) pose a risk to the public's health because of their role in cases of food poisoning and their significance as zoonotic agents. All animals, including humans, can transmit the intestinal bacterium known as salmonella. Out of a total of 2500 serovars, Salmonella pullorum (pullorum illness) and S. gallinarum (bird typhoid) are the two host-adapted serovars that primarily harm poultry. Salmonella can spread horizontally from contaminated environments to birds as well as vertically from parent flocks to offspring. The danger of the introduction and persistence of infections can be substantially reduced by good management of biosecurity. This study is an overview of Salmonella in poultry which tell us some diagnostic and treatment of salmonella. By reading this study people will get sound knowledge regarding salmonella even they will be able to do desirable management in order to save their birds from Salmonella.

Authors: Hamza Manhal Ahmed , El-Sanousi Sulieman Mohamed 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Biological control has been strongly encouraged by using of entomopathoginic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus sphaericus. The present study monitored the larvicidal effect of Bacillus thuringiesis and Bacillus sphaericus against Anopheles mosquito larvae and the effect of physical factors on the larvicidal potency on mosquito larvae.
Methodology: Mid-guts of Anopheles mosquito larvae were inoculated on both Blood Agar and MacConkey Agar culture media. Depending on Gram stain to determine gram positive and gram-negative bacteria, and to identify the bacterial cells` morphology. A 1000µl of Bacillus thuringiensis. Sample was heated at 80°C for 12 min and diluted from 10 -1 to l0-8 with sterile normal saline. Bacillus strains were inoculated into Müller Hinton broth media and incubated over-night at 37°C. This time was quite enough to form the spores and crystals. The supernatant fluid was discarded and the cell suspensions were washed with sterile distilled water the process was repeated up to 3 times until spores and crystals were free from debris by using phase contrast microscopy. Collected spores and crystals were kept in sterile containers in fridge until used.
Results: Fifty-three mid-gut contents of Anopheles arabiensis larvae were identified morphologically and biochemically. Bacillus species were the most prevalent bacteria. The highest larval mortality rate was recorded by 5ml of Bt1 and Bt2 after 24 hrs. of treatment and by 150µl of Bacillus species spore.100% mortality was recorded by the Bacillus spore-crystal mixture. A mortality of 60% was recorded at pH 8.0, by 400 C the mortality rate was 20%at 24 hrs. After 12 hours, the exposure to UV light, larvicidal activity reduced to 40 %.
Unique Contribution to Theory Policy and Practices: These findings revealed that both B.thuringiensis and Bacillus sphaericus are a good control agent for Anopheles mosquitoes. More deep investigations are needed to verify the effect of the entomopathogens, which has biological and economic importance in mosquito control. In addition, Intensive studies must be needed to validate reliability.

Purpose: To explore the effect of operations strategy on performance of Media Council of Kenya.
Methodology: Descriptive research design was used in MCK offices in Nairobi County. This study targeted 96 employees of the Media Council of Kenya selected using census method. The data collection tools were interview guides and structured questionnaires for managers and officers respectively. The pre-test was done at Communications Authority of Kenya [CAK] where two managers and 8 operational staff were included. Cronbach Alpha Coefficient was used to test reliability while validity was measured by criterion, content and face types of validity. The analysis process was done using SPSS version 24 to generate various statistics reports. Appropriate diagnostic tests for assumptions of regression analysis were carried out accordingly. Specific descriptive statistics which were used comprised of mean, percentages and standard deviations, regression analysis was also be used to test the hypotheses of the study. Data was presented using tables and explanations.
Results: There was a general agreement that MCK was always very keen to ensure that formulated operations strategies are implemented in required timelines (mean of 4.86). This was because 75 (89%) strongly agreed and 8(10%) agreed with that. However, it was noted that the funding on operation strategy budget was not adequately provided (mean of 2.45). This was because 43(51%) strongly disagreed and 40(48%) disagreed.
The interview results revealed that timelines of undertaking the assigned tasks were very important in improving performance. Nevertheless, there were still challenges facing the operations teams beginning with covid-19. However, capitalizing on various sources of funds was a key strategy implemented in various strategies particularly on the electioneering period in Kenya. Operation strategy had an R of 0.639 and R-square of 0.408. This therefor meant that operation strategy had 40.8% influence of performance of MCK. The significance level was 0.000 which was less than 0.05. This phenomenon enabled the study reject the null hypothesis which has previously stated that there is no significance effect of operation strategy on performance of Media Council of Kenya.
Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: The departmental needs were not adequately met on time hence delaying the various operations that could not proceed without the required resources. The recommendation on operations strategy is that the MCK management should come up with a system that aids staff on knowing what they are supposed to do and with what resources. When this is known, it will enable the staff raise concerns on any shortages of resources on time for timely resource allocation. If the whole fraternity of MCK interacts with the system on daily basis, it would be very hard to miss out on any requests as compared to calling or word of mouth.
Bacterial Quality and Safety of Commercial Fish and Chicken Feeds Sold at Kisenyi Market, Kampala-Uganda. A Laboratory Based Cross-sectional Study.
Authors:   , Ajou Malong Dut 
Published: September 2022

Background: The growth in the poultry and fish industry in Uganda has resulted in heavy dependence on finished feeds supplied by feed millers, the quality of which determines the profit margin of the farmers. The presence of pathogenic microbes, however, tends to deplete the nutritive value of these poultry and fish diets. This study, therefore, focused on assessing the prevalence of micro-organisms in commercial poultry and fish feeds sold at Kisenyi Market, Uganda. Method: Poultry and fish feeds were randomly sampled and examined for their microbiological qualities using standard microbiological and analytical methods. The isolates were identified according to their cultural, microscopic, and biochemical properties. Results: A total of 42 micro-organisms were isolated, including; Citrobacter spp (4.76%), Corynebacterium spp (9.52%), E. coli (2.38%), and Enterococcus spp (35.71%) Proteus spp (2.38%) and S. aureus (45.2%). Comparing contamination in pelleted and non-pelleted feeds, there was no significant difference in the microbial contamination (feeds (X2 = 7.287, P> 0.05). Their susceptibility pattern revealed major resistance of; S. aureus to Gentamycin (78.95%), Corynebacterium spp to linezolid (100%), Enterococcus spp to Gentamycin (100%), and negative rod enterococcus to Cefoxitin (100%). Conclusion: The presence of a high level of pathogenic micro-organisms in the selected feeds offered to poultry and fish predisposes them to health hazards, with resultant economic loss. Therefore, the commercial feeds should be periodically examined for biosafety, to reduce or prevent the risk of cross-contamination of poultry and poultry products with resistant bacterial strains.

Published: September 2022

Background Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is characterized by recurrent psychological, behavioural, and/or physical symptoms occurring before menses and usually resolve by the end of or during menstruation. These symptoms usually affect the women’s quality of life and efficiency. Although over 95% of women worldwide suffer from PMS, in Uganda, little is documented about the prevalence and existence of PMS among students. This study, therefore, sought to determine the prevalence and severity of PMS among female university students in Central Uganda. Methodology A cross-sectional study was carried out using a questionnaire between November 2021 and May 2022. The sample of 238 participants was taken from female students in 4 universities who met the inclusion criteria. Sampling was done by proportionate sampling. Primary data was obtained about Premenstrual Syndrome prevalence and severity using modifications of the following tools: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' diagnostic criteria for PMS; the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria (DSM-IV) diagnostic criteria for PMDD; and the premenstrual symptoms screening tool (PSST). The data was analysed to obtain descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages. A student was considered to be suffering from PMS if they satisfied the DSM-IV criteria for the diagnosis of PMS. Results The prevalence of PMS among female University students in central Uganda was found to be 28.3% (60). However, at least 76.9% (163) of the respondents suffered at least one or more symptoms of PMS. Conclusion Over a quarter of female university students suffer from Premenstrual syndrome. Recommendation There is a need to create awareness as well as mobilize social support so that there is help available to the students who suffer PMS.

Background The cyclic nature of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) affects those with severe symptoms in ways that make them incapacitated or inefficient every month impairing their quality of life. This problem in Uganda is compounded by the cultural stigma associated with menstruation making it difficult for ladies and communities to address the associated problems. Therefore, this study sought to identify how Premenstrual Syndrome affects the quality of life of female University students in Central Uganda in terms of effects and coping mechanisms. Methodology A cross-sectional study was carried out using a questionnaire between November 2021 and May 2022. 238 participants from 4 universities who met the inclusion criteria were given self-administered questionnaires on PMS symptoms, effects and coping mechanisms. The data was analysed to obtain frequencies and percentages. Statistically significant associations between PMS and Effects of PMS as well as the Coping mechanism were determined using Chi-square correlations. Results At least 70 (33%) of the 212 respondents reported that the PMS symptoms affected either their school and/or their relationships or their daily activities plus home chores. Statistically significant effects of PMS on school efficiency were: sleeping in class χ2(1, n=212) = 4.957, p=0.026; and being late on assignments χ2(1, n=212) = 6.279, p=0.012. Coping mechanisms that were found to be statistically significantly associated with PMS at α-level of 5% were: hiding or locking self in a room χ2(1, n=212) = 4.846, p=0.028; taking alcohol χ2(1, n=212) = 5.115, p=0.024; seeing a health worker χ2(4, n=212) = 14.201, p=0.007; and taking pain killers χ2(1, n=212) = 5.202, p=0.03. Conclusion PMS was significantly affecting school efficiency of students. Recommendation There are still huge knowledge gaps about PMS that need addressing. Some students reported that they used herbal preparations for PMS symptoms which need to be investigated for potential pharmaceutical development.

Published: September 2022

Background Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a common disorder among females of reproductive age, which also happens to be the most productive period within the life of a woman. Unfortunately, the aetiology of PMS is still not known; although, the following theories have been proposed to explain PMS symptoms: A genetic predisposition; changes in neurotransmitter levels; or changes in different hormone levels during the menstrual cycle. In Uganda the factors associated with PMS are hardly documented, making awareness, prevention, and management complicated. The aim of this study, was to determine the social demographic factors associated with PMS among female university students in Central Uganda. Methodology A cross-sectional study was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire between November 2021 and May 2022. 238 female students in 4 universities who consented and met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. Data which was obtained about social demographic characteristics and PMS symptoms was coded and analysed to obtain descriptive statistics and Chi-square correlations. Results The mean age of the respondents was 22.67±5.595, with most of the respondents (188, 88.7%) being between 19 to 24 years of age, the minimum age was 19 years and the maximum was 55 years. Among this study population, menarche age group χ2(2, n=212) = 7.756, p=0.021, and several menstrual bleeding days χ2(1, n=212) = 5.188, p=0.023 were associated with PMS among the female university students. Conclusion The cause of the PMS among this study population is likely biological as respondents who reported that they started their menses started at age ≤12 years; as well as those whose bleeding days were more than or equal to 5 days were more likely to suffer PMS. Recommendation Studies need to be carried out to investigate the biological causes of PMS to guide management and prevention.
What is the Level of Knowledge of Birth Control among Women of Reproductive Age in Bwaise Slum? A Cross-Sectional Study.
Authors:   , Muderhwa Rodrigue 
Published: September 2022

Background The need to control childbirth and maintain a manageable family size is a fact of modern life. This is because of the social and economic realities of the modern world system. Because of this, the practice of contraception has remained in the spotlight. To increase birth control uptake, knowledge and awareness are frequently used. However, evidence on birth control knowledge among populations in low socioeconomic settings in Africa is limited. The goal of this research was to look into women's knowledge of birth control options in the Bwaise slum. Methodology Using a cross-sectional study design, we interviewed 384 women aged 15–49 years, selected through systematic random sampling. Data on socioeconomic characteristics, knowledge of birth control options, and birth control use were collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics (chi-square set at 0.05 level of significance) analysis were done using IBM SPSS version 21. Results The mean age of participants was 29.39 years. There is a high level of knowledge and awareness of birth control options but with relatively low uptake, 91.4% of women knew at least one option. 66.4% of respondents reported using any birth control options in the past compared to 37.2% currently using. Injectable, oral pills and Norplant/implant were the most known and used options. Age, level of education, marital status, and income were significantly associated with the use of birth control (p< 0.05). Conclusion and recommendation Our findings show that respondents have high knowledge of birth control but low use. We, therefore, recommend that government health agencies conduct a sensitization campaign aimed at the increase in the utilization of birth control services involving religious and cultural leaders. Women of reproductive age, to attend at least one SRH counseling session, in any health facility, to be updated with relevant news on birth control services.
