Introduction special issue ‘Corona papers’
When the corona virus was reported in the Netherlands in March 2020, it also had a major impact on public administration. At that time it was still completely unclear which consequences would be temporary and which would be permanent, but it was immediately clear that it presented unique study material. There was every reason to quickly start describing, analysing and interpreting the first consequences of the fight against corona for politics, administration and policy, with a focus on local authorities. That is why in April 2020, with the support of the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the ‘Corona papers’ research programme was set up by the Thorbecke Chair (Geerten Boogaard), in which a number of renowned scientists took part. Platform31 (Rogier van der Wal) was also involved. It took care of the accompanying website and newsletters and organised the final conference. Five of these ‘Corona papers’ have been revised and updated for this special issue.
De regio in Nederland: formaliseren en inbedden

The region in the Netherlands: formalising and embedding
A crisis brings existing vulnerabilities to the surface and clearly shows where the strong qualities of a society and its governance can be found. In the Netherlands, the corona pandemic has also exposed strengths and weaknesses according to that pattern. An important example of this is the region’s strong and complex position in our domestic governance. The author points out three lessons from the long post-war history of failed attempts to adjust the administrative organisation of our country. This leads to three proposals for embedding the region in the existing administrative organisation. The three steps would not be necessary if there were political support for a small adjustment to the administrative structure of the Netherlands, namely a reduction of the provincial scale. A step-by-step, cautious adjustment in the eyes of the author therefore gives more chance of success than a radical administrative reorganisation, which is doomed to fail in this country. For example, the cautious steps could be a prelude to a new and smaller provincial scale.

Authors: Almeida Maria Eduarda Minervino , Sousa Milena Nunes Alves de , Morais Nilson Neto de Araújo 
Published: May 2022

A COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) é uma doença viral transmitida por meio de gotículas ou aerossóis respiratórios, contaminando as vias aéreas superiores e inferiores, infeccionando o parênquima pulmonar. A “Síndrome Pós-COVID” consiste em uma tempestade inflamatória e multissistêmica, em que os primeiros sinais surgem aproximadamente quatro meses após a alta hospitalar. Os sintomas são heterogêneos e o manejo é feito de forma individual conforme necessidade de assistência e não há um protocolo preconizado. Assim, objetivou-se identificar as manifestações oculares decorrentes das síndromes COVID-19. Trata-se de uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura, com o objetivo de criticar e sintetizar a literatura relevante sobre o tema. A coleta de dados foi através de artigos científicos publicados na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, ResearchGate e Scientific Electronic Library Online. Os critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram aplicados resultando em 21 artigos selecionados. Segundo dados colhidos, constatou-se que o ano que teve maior índice de publicações foi 2022 (42,86%, n=9). Também ficou claro que a maior parte dos artigos foram encontrados na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (80,95%, n=17). O sintoma mais frequente é a conjuntivite (20%, n=9), seguido da hiperemia conjuntival (15,5%, n=7) e, posteriormente, da quemose (6,8%, n=3). Conclui-se que as manifestações oftálmicas relacionadas às síndromes COVID-19 podem levar a perda de visão e afetar na qualidade de vida dos pacientes sindrômicos. Apesar de a maioria dos pacientes apresentarem quadros oftálmicos leves, o manejo errôneo e/ou diagnóstico ignorado podem perpetuar a sintomatologia, trazendo graves prejuízos à recuperação total do paciente.

Maslaha Index as an Alternative’s Perfomance Indicator of National Development
Authors: Junaedi Dedi , Rizal Arsyad Muhammad 
Published: May 2022

The main objective of a country's economic development is an effort to improve the welfare of its people. Various indicators of development success have been offered. Starting from GDP and per capita income, human development index (HDI), people's welfare index (pledge) and economic welfare index (Eurostat). In the perspective of Islam, the various indicators still have weaknesses because they only display worldly statistics, they have not touched the aspect of ukhrawi (afterlife). On that basis, Islam introduced the concept of maqasid al-shariah or benefit as an indicator of the success of development. The benefit to be achieved includes the safeguarding of five basic elements of human life: faith (monotheism), soul, reason, descent, and wealth (wealth). From these five elements we can develop a number of benefit parameters as indicators of complete human development.
Keywords: eurostat, ikrar, HDI, benefits, maqasid al-sharia, GDP

Published: May 2022

The effect of cement dust has been linked to many diseases but very few studies have been able to study the impact of cement on oxidative stress, inflammation and carcinogenesis in Port Harcourt. Therefore, this study was focus on assessing the effect of cement dust on total antioxidant status (TAS), inflammatory markers and cancer markers among cement loaders in Port Harcourt. The study was conducted in Port Harcourt among 100 cement loaders and 100 non-cement exposed individuals who made up the control group. Upon consenting to participate in the study, subjects were randomly selected for recruitment into the study. Five milliliters of blood was collected from each subject and was assayed for total antioxidant status (TAS) using enzymatic colorimetric method, IL-10, IL-1 \(\beta\) , Neuron specific Enolase (NSE), C-Reactive protein (CRP), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) using ELISA technique. Results compared TAS, IL-10, IL-1 \(\beta\) , NSE, CRP and VEGF-A levels between cement exposed group and control group. TAS result revealed that there was a significant decrease between in the exposed group (P-value=0.0011). CRP, result revealed that there was no significant difference between both groups (P-value=0.1103). IL-10, result revealed that there was a significant decrease in the exposed group (P-value=0.0030). IL-1 \(\beta\) , result revealed that there was a significant increase in the exposed group (P-value=0.0012). VEGF-A result revealed that there was no significant difference between both groups (P-value=0.653). NSE, result revealed that there was a significant increase in the exposed groups (P-value<0.0001). This study has shown that human exposure to cement dust increases oxidative stress, affects inflammatory responses and may increase the risk of cancer among cement workers in Port Harcourt.
