Authors: Alsafadi Tariq , Gabel Hala , Dowaikh Abdullghany , Albaloushi Mohammed , Suwaydi Abdulbaqi , Alzahrani Asmaa , Nooh Ebrahim 
Published: January 2022

Background:
Preterm infants frequently have hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Persistent ductal shunting may result in pulmonary hyper circulation, increasing the risk of mortality and morbidity. The effectiveness of active management, as well as the timing and modality of PDA treatment, is still debatable.

Aim:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a difference in mortality and morbidity between conservative and pharmacological treatment of clinically significant PDA in preterm infants at <34 weeks.

Design:
Retrospective study.

Setting:
Comprised of two neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Materials and Methods:
NICUs medical records from 2017 to 2020.

Statistical Analysis:
Logistic regression analysis.

Results:
A total of 1059 medical records were screened for the study, with 106 preterm (PT) infants included. The mean gestational age was 29.2 ± 3.2 weeks, the mean birth weight (BW) was 1267 ± 485 g, and the mean length of stay in the hospital was 30 ± 20 days. Twenty patients (18.8%) received paracetamol, six patients (5.6%) received ibuprofen, one patient (0.9%) received surgical ligation, and one patient (0.9%) received indomethacin. Five patients (4.7%) received multiple courses of PDA medication. Nineteen patients (17.9%) received diuretics. [Table 1] also contains additional data characteristics. After adjusting the confounding variables, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (odds ratio [OR]: 5 P: 0.04) and BW were found to increase mortality (OR: 0.87 P: 0.034). Conservative treatment (OR: 1.4, P = 0.38), paracetamol (OR: 0.87, P = 0.22), and ibuprofen (OR 1.2, P = 0.12) had no effect on mortality. None of the treatment modalities (conservative, paracetamol, or ibuprofen) has a significant effect on morbidities (IVH, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, late onset sepsis, pulmonary hemorrhage, or necrotizing enterocolitis).

Conclusion:
In PT 34 weeks, there was no difference in mortality or morbidity between conservative and pharmacological treatment of hemodynamically significant PDA.

Published: January 2022

Aim:
To investigate factors determining the need for general anesthesia (GA) to deliver dental treatment for adult people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Methods:
This study involved a retrospective review of medical records of adult patients with IDD who received dental treatment under GA at Tabuk Specialist Dental Center, Saudi Arabia, between 2018 and 2020. Demographic characteristics and dental-related details, level of cooperation, and methods of delivering dental treatment were collected.

Results:
A total of 86 adult patients with IDD were included. The mean age of the study participants was 34.8 years (standard deviation [SD] 6.5), and the majority were males (n = 47, 54.7%). Eighteen patients had aphasia (20.9%), 16 had epilepsy (18.6%), and 10 had cerebral palsy (11.6%). Most dental treatments delivered were complex dental treatments (n = 39, 45.3%) followed by dental extraction (n = 25, 29.1%), and non-surgical periodontal therapy (n = 22, 25.5%). Females had higher odds of undergoing GA compared to males (Odds ratio (OR) =6.79, 95% Confidence intervals (CI): 1.62–28.41). Furthermore, patients who had aphasia had higher odds of undergoing GA compared to patients who had no medical conditions (OR = 14.03, 95% CI: 1.05–186.7).

Conclusion:
Being female or having aphasia are independent factors related to the need for GA to deliver dental treatment for Saudi adults with IDD.
Is intranasal dexmedetomidine superior to oral chloral hydrate for procedural sedation in children
Authors: Delvi Mohamed B. 
Published: January 2022

Background:
This systematic review was undertaken to compare the benefits of intranasal dexmedetomidine (IND) versus oral chloral hydrate (OCH) in the pediatric age group undergoing procedural sedation analgesia (PSA). Randomized clinical trials (RCT) of the various studies done over the years were taken up and analyzed. Since IND has the additional advantages of a faster onset of action, greater success with a single bolus dose, and enhanced recovery, this systematic review was conducted to prove the superiority of IND over OCH in pediatric PSA.

Objective:
To compare the efficacy of IND versus OCH for PSA in pediatric patients.

Search Strategy:
We searched the electronic databases from August 2012 to September 2019 without language restrictions.

Design and Selection Criteria:
A review of 10 RCTs on the use of IND and OCH for PSA in the pediatric age group for a variety of diagnostic procedures was done and the superiority of IND as per the sedation time and adverse effects were analyzed.

Results:
Out of the RCTs considered, six trials were a direct comparison between OCH and IND which showed that IND had a faster onset of action, improved recovery characteristics with better return to baseline physical activity on the same day of the procedure. When compared to OCH, IND showed no evidence of second-dose requirement and no record of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).

Conclusion:
This systematic review revealed that IND is superior to OCH for PSA in the pediatric age group and proved to be safe and effective with better recovery characteristics.
Sedation with dexmedetomidine and propofol in children with Fontan circulation undergoing cardiac catheterization
Authors: Omori Ayaka , Watanabe Fumio , Kojima Taiki 
Published: January 2022

Background:
A combination of dexmedetomidine and propofol is considered advantageous for maintaining spontaneous breathing with a satisfactory depth of anesthesia. However, the incidence of upper airway obstruction under sedation with dexmedetomidine and propofol in patients with Fontan circulation remains unanswered. This study aimed to evaluate upper airway patency and oxygen desaturation during sedation with dexmedetomidine and propofol for cardiac catheterization in pediatric patients with Fontan circulation.

Methods:
In this descriptive study, we reviewed medical records of patients with Fontan circulation who underwent cardiac catheterization between December 2018 and August 2020 at a single-center 200-bed academic children's hospital in Japan.

Results:
A total of 35 patients with Fontan circulation sedated with a departmental protocol of dexmedetomidine and propofol infusion for cardiac catheterization were reviewed. Overall, the incidence of airway interventions and oxygen desaturation were 31.4% and 28.6%, respectively. In children with a history of snoring and additional use of intravenous midazolam, the rates of airway interventions were 50% and 100%, respectively. In patients ≤2 years old with recent upper respiratory infection (URI) symptoms, oxygen desaturation rate was 75%.

Conclusions:
In children with Fontan circulation, the incidence rate of upper airway obstruction was high under sedation with dexmedetomidine and propofol during cardiac catheterization, which is commonly considered safe in children without Fontan circulation. A history of snoring, an additional bolus of IV midazolam, and the presence of recent URI symptoms in patients ≤2 years old are potential risks for upper airway obstruction.

Published: January 2022

Windsock adalah sebagai penanda angin dan relatif kecepatan angin. Alat ini sangat berfungsi di dunia penerbangan. Setiap bandara wajib memiliki windsock sebagai penunjang penentu arah angin. Alat ini dipasang di suatu bandara udara yang dapat dilihat dengan jelas oleh petugas lalu lintas udara (ATC). Tetapi di bandara A.P.T. Pranoto-Samarinda masih menggunakan sistem manual untuk melihat windsock menggunakan teropong jarak jauh. Pengembangan alat ini dilatar belakangi dikarenakan kurang efektif dan efisiennya saat penggunaan windsock yang sudah tersedia di Bandar Udara A.P.T. Pranoto Samarinda. Maka di sini penulis tertarik untuk mengangkat sebuah judul dalam tugas akhir ini yaitu “Rancangan Monitoring Wind Direction Indicator berbasis Arduino di Bandar Udara Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto Samarinda ”. Hasil akhir yang dicapai dari pengembangan windsock ini adalah dengan tujuan agar tidak mencari arah angin secara manual, dengan dikembangkannya alat ini dapat mencari arah angin secara otomatis. Windsock ini juga dilengkapi dengan wind vane dan wind cone sebagai pengukur arah mata angin dan kecepatan angin disekitar alat tersebut. Perancangan sistem monitoring Wind Direction Indicator berbasis Arduino, diharapkan dapat mendeteksi kecepatan dan arah angin yang mampu memberikan data secara real time. Agar data yang diperoleh dapat tersampaikan kepada masyarakat dengan cepat dan akurat, maka dibutuhkan suatu sistem yang memadai. Sistem yang sekarang ini sedang berkembang pesat yaitu Personal Computer (PC) dan jaringan internet. Perancangan alat Wind Direction Indicator ini terdiri dari hardware yang berupa Arduino, sensor arah dan sensor kecepatan angin. Alat Wind Direction Indicator dapat membantu memudahkan ATC dalam memantau arah dan kecepatan angin yang sangat penting bagi penerbangan, dimana sebelumnya proses ini menggunakan teropong untuk memantau arah angin. Proses pemantauan arah angin menjadi lebih mudah dengan menggunakan alat ini, karena hasil pembacaan arah dan kecepatan angin akan langsung muncul pada monitor.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of KUB chickens raised by farmer households in Indramayu Regency in the implementation of the 2019 BEKERJA program. The BEKERJA program is carried out in 8.189 farmer households by providing 50 DOC, chicken feed during 5 weeks, maintenance support facilities include feed tray, drinking bottles, brooder cages, cables, lights, and cage subsidy for 4 weeks chickens. The parameters observed were the number of chicken mortality, age of first egg laying and the number of egg production for the first time. The observations showed that the mortality of KUB chickens increased at 3 months of raised, which was caused by the sale and slaughter of chickens and the mortality of chickens due to improper raise management. Hens that lay eggs early in the District of Anjatan and District of Bongas 7.066 and 1.041, respectively. The results of the study showed that there was diversity at the beginning of egg-laying chicken due to improper feeding management, but KUB chicken had the potential to be developed as an egg and meat producer in Indramayu Regency.

Abstrak
Kajian bertujuan untuk mengetahui keragaman ayam KUB yang dipelihara oleh RTM di Kabupaten Indramayu dalam pelaksanaan program BEKERJA tahun 2019. Program BEKERJA melibatkan 8.189 RTM dengan memberikan bantuan 50 ekor DOC ayam KUB, pakan selama 5 minggu pemeliharaan, bantuan sarana prasarana pemeliharaan meliputi tray tempat pakan, botol tempat minum, kandang brooder, kabel, lampu, dan bantuan subsidi kandang untuk ayam umur 4 minggu. Parameter yang diamati adalah jumlah kematian ayam, umur bertelur pertama kali dan produksi telur pertama kali. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa kematian ayam KUB meningkat pada 3 bulan usia pemeliharaan, yang disebabkan oleh penjualan dan pemotongan ayam serta kematian akibat manajemen pemeliharaan yang kurang tepat. Jumlah produksi telur pertama kali di Kecamatan Anjatan dan Kecamatan Bongas masing-masing sebesar 7.066 butir dan 1.041 butir. Hasil kajian menunjukkan adanya keragaman pada awal bertelur ayam yang diakibatkan oleh manajemen pemberian pakan yang tidak tepat, namun ayam KUB berpotensi dikembangkan sebagai penghasil telur dan daging di kabupaten Indramayu

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different basal diet and feed additive on the percentage of carcass and component parts of broilers. This research has been conducted for four months (June to September 2020) at State Polytechnic of Agriculture Kupang. A total of 264 one-day old chicks were distributed to 24 pens (11 birds/pen).The experiment was designed using a 2 x 4 factorial design with 8 tretment combinations and three replications for each treatment. The treatments were control (0% sago) (P0), control (0% sago) + avyzime 0,10 % and phyzyme 0,05% (P1), control (0% sago) + allzime 0,05% (P2), control (0% sago) + synbiotic probio FMplus 40 mL/L drinking water (P3), Diet containing 10% sago (P4), Diet containing 10% sago + allzyme 0,10 % and phyzyme 0,05% (P5), Diet containing 10% sago + allzyme 0,05% (P6) and Diet containing 10% sago + synbiotic probio FMplus 40 mL/L drinking water (P7). The result shows that type of basal diet (TBD) and feed additive (FA) affect (P < 0,05) the carcass weight but it did not afect (P>0,05) carcass percentage of broiler chickens. Except for thigh, TBD did not affect (P>0,05) on component parts of carcass. Feed additive had no effect (P>0,05) on carcass component, with the exception of thigh. Interaction between TBD x FA was significant (P<0,05) only for weight and percentage of carcass and back percentage of broilers. Broilers fed basal diet A plus Allzyme SSF-E had lower weight and percentage of carcass and also back percentage than other treatment diets. To sum up,, 1) basal diet B produced higher carcass weight than basal diet A; 2) supplementation of Allzyme SSF-E on basal diet A reduced the weight and percentage of broiler carcass.

Le Rubb : les Almohades ou les promoteurs du merveilleux
Authors: GHOUIRGATE Mehdi 
Published: January 2022

Les califes almohades importèrent les modèles de gouvernement abbassides et omeyyades d’al-Andalus qu’ils cherchèrent à mettre en œuvre tout en les adaptant. Ce qui passait par la prohibition des anciens usages communautaires de vin cuit (anzīr) au profit d’une consommation réservée à l’élite au pouvoir. Ce faisant, les sources rendirent compte de cette inflexion en utilisant un terme arabe aussi flou qu’ambigu le rubb lequel ne faisant pas nécessairement référence à un boisson alcoolisée. Il n’en demeure pas moins que dans un contexte de cérémonial il s’agissait probablement d’une sorte de vin cuit. De la sorte, les souverains almohades se voulaient les promoteurs du merveilleux et les seuls à créer un éden terrestre, en allant jusqu’à faire creuser des rivières de rubb. En conformité avec l’acception coranique du paradis, ils souhaitèrent que l’évocation de leur palais soit associée au rubb ; ce qui se traduisit par le fait que les califes donnèrent le nom de Bāb ar-Rubb à l’une des portes du complexe aulique de Marrakech cœur battant de la dynastie almohade.

Authors: Jonah Samuel E. , Shettima Baba G. , Umar Abba S. S. , Timothy Enan 
Published: January 2022

Purpose: The study examined the profitability of sesame (Sesanum indicum) production in Yobe State, Nigeria.
Methodology: One hundred and eighty (180) sesame farmers were sampled from 12 villages spread across three Local Government Areas in Yobe State using multistage sampling procedure. The descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentages and mean were used to describe the socioeconomic characteristics of farmers and constraints associated with sesame production. The inferential statistics employed was the Gross margin (GM) which was used to estimate the profitability of sesame production.
Findings: The result of socioeconomic characteristics revealed that majority (77.77%) of the respondents were aged between 21-60 years old and all (100%) of the respondents had one form of education or the other. The result of profitability of sesame production revealed that the gross margin (GM) was N157,519.00 and the average return per Naira invested was N2.07. Some of the major constraints faced by farmers in sesame production are inadequate fund (88.7%), inadequate extension services (72.0%), problem of pest and disease (66.1%) among others.
Recommendations: the study recommended that strategies to improve profitability should focus on improved farmer access to institutional credits and improved infrastructural facilities such as access roads for easy linkage to markets. Also, In order to cope with the problem of inadequate and high cost of seed, the government and research institute should make improved seed available at the right time and also at subsidies rate to the farmers.
