Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan keberadaan isu politik identitas dalam kaitannya dengan perilaku memilih masyarakat dan isu primordial sebagai politik identitas terhadap perilaku memilih pada pemilihan Gubernur dan Wakilnya pada Provinsi Sumatera Utara tahun 2018 di Desa Sei Bamban. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, studi literatur dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian yaitu: adanya kaitan keberadaan isu politik identitas ditengah masyarakat terhadap perilaku memilih sebagian besar masyarakat. Isu yang paling menonjol di masyarakat adalah tentang teritorial yaitu putra daerah dan bukan putra daerah. Kemudian isu primordial yang dilakukan sebagian besar masyarakat didalam menentukan pilihan politiknya terlihat dari segi agama, suku, bahkan hubungan ikatan keluarga atau kekeluargaan. Artinya pemilih yang menentukan pilihannya berdasarkan teritorial, ikatan keluarga dan agama adalah pemilih mayoritas Muslim dengan pasangan nomor urut 1. Sedangkan pemilih yang menentukan pilihan berdasarkan suku, ikatan kekeluargaan, dan agama adalah pemilih mayoritas Non-Muslim dengan pasangan urut 2. This study aims to explain the existence of the issue of identity politics in relation to people's voting behavior and primordial issues as identity politics on voting behavior in the election of the Governor and Deputy in North Sumatra Province in 2018 in Sei Bamban Village.The research method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, literature study and documentation.The results of the study are: there is a relationship between the existence of the issue of identity politics in the community towards the voting behavior of most people.The most prominent issue in the community is about territory, namely the sons of the region and not the sons of the region.Then the primordial issues that are carried out by most people in determining their political choices can be seen in terms of religion, ethnicity, and even family or kinship ties.This means that the voters who make their choice based on territoriality, family ties and religion are the majority Muslim voters with a pair number 1.While the voters who make choices based on ethnicity, kinship, and religion are the majority voters of Non-Muslims with pair 2.

Published: October 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To measure the mitral annulus in dogs. Our hypothesis was that mitral measurement would be possible and consistent among observers using CT.

SAMPLE
Thoracic CT scans of dogs without known heart disease.

PROCEDURES
Five trained investigators measured 4 aspects of the mitral valve and the fourth thoracic vertebrae (T4) length using multiplanar reformatting tools. Ten randomly chosen animals were measured by all investigators to determine interobserver reliability.

RESULTS
There were 233 CT scans eligible for inclusion. Dogs weighed 2 to 96 kg (mean, 28.1 kg), with a variety of breeds represented. Golden Retrievers (n = 28) and Labrador Retrievers (n = 37) were overrepresented. The intraclass correlations were all greater than 0.9, showing excellent agreement between observers. The means and SDs of each measurement were as follows: trigone-to-trigone distance, 17.2 ± 4.7 mm; the remaining circumference, 79.0 ± 17.5 mm; commissure-to-commissure distance, 30.8 ± 6.5 mm; septal leaflet-to-lateral leaflet distance, 26.3 ± 6.0 mm; T4 length, 16.9 ± 3.1 mm; and the total circumference normalized by T4, 5.7 ± 0.7 mm.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
This study provides information that may help in the development of future treatment for mitral valve dysfunction and subsequent annular enlargement.
The Calcium Loading Test in Primary Hyperparathyroidism – Does it Provide Useful Information?
Authors: Bakalov D. , Boyanov M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objective: to describe the results from intravenous calcium loads in patients with suspected PHPT.

Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study with inpatients’ data review. Baseline serum calcium, phosphates, magnesium, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, beta-crosslinks were recorded. The calcium loading had been performed after an overnight fasting. Calcium gluconate 0.25 mmol/kg body weight (10 mg/kg) dissolved in 0.9% Sodium Chloride was infused intravenously for 3 hours. Blood samples for total serum calcium, phosphates and iPTH were drawn before and up to 60 minutes after the calcium load. The intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and 25(OH)-vitamin D were determined by electro-hemi-luminescence (Elecsys, Roche Diagnostics). The PTH inhibition rate in % (PTH-IR), the calcium increment, the ratio R (ΔPTH/ΔCalcium) and the product P (calcium X PTH at test end) were calculated.

Results: 23 patients with PHPT had complete data from calcium loading tests. The PTH suppression was < 30% in 17.4% of the participants, 30% to 50% – in 21.7% and > 50% in the remaining 60.9%. One patient displayed PTH suppression > 75%. The Ratio R was < 4.0 in all but one patient. Product P was above 1100 mg/dl x pg/ml in 9 participants (39.1%). Sixteen patients (69.6%) had positive localization results from US or SPECT-CT. The level of PTH suppression was not related to any parameter except the volume of the suspected lesion.

Conclusion: The calcium loading test was unable to differentiate the forms of PHPT. It did not add great value in the diagnostic work-up of PHPT.

Abstract

Aim: To investigate the association between cardiovascular burden and monosodium urate (MSU) deposits in the joints of patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and no evidence of arthritis and subjects with psoriatic arthritis and hyperuricemia.

Patients and methods: A single-center, cross-sectional study including 52 individuals: 39 with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and 13 with psoriatic arthritis and hyperuricemia. All patients underwent ultrasound of the joints by which the presence or absence of MSU crystal deposits was assessed. Subjects underwent transthoracic echocardiography by which left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was estimated. Intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid arteries was measured and the presence of atherosclerotic plaques was registered.

Results: We found no difference in the distribution of cardiovascular risk factors between the two groups. Further, no difference in their distribution was found between those who were not treated and those who were treated with urate-lowering medications. The frequency of articular MSU deposits was similar between non-allopurinol-treated and allopurinol-treated individuals (p = 0.554). There was no difference in the frequency of articular deposits between benzbromarone recipients and non-recipients (p = 0.396). We observed no connection between articular MSU deposits and LVMI (p = 0.625), IMT (p = 0.117) and atherosclerotic plaques (p = 0.102). Among untreated and treated with urate-lowering drugs there was no difference in LVMI (p = 0.063), IMT (p = 0.975) and plaque distribution (p = 1.000).

Conclusion: We can assume that in patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and no evidence of arthritis and in subjects with psoriatic arthritis and asymptomatic hyperuricemia, only the prescription of urate-lowering medications for reduction of urate load and cardiovascular risk is not sufficient.

Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objectives: The knowledge of the normal morphology of the maxillary sinuses and their variations is important for maxillofacial radiologists to achieve a better evaluation and delineation of pathologies and for pre-implant evaluation of the maxilla.

The aim of our study was to evaluate anatomical variations of maxillary sinuses using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

Materials and methods: 150 CBCT images where bilateral maxillary sinuses were scanned were included in the study following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 75 CBCT scans each of males and females were studied using the Planmeca Romexis software (Version 4.6.2). Multiplanar images were searched for the presence of anatomical variations such as septae, haller cells and ethmomaxillary sinus. The data were subjected to Chi square test using SPSS software to compare and relate gender and site based differences in the occurrence of the anatomical variations.

Results: Sinus septa was the predominant variation in both males and females with significantly higher prevalence in females and on the right side. An ethmomaxillary sinus was seen significantly more often in males, while Haller cells did not show any gender based differences in their occurrence. Ethmomaxillary sinus and Haller cells showed no difference in occurrence on the right and left side.

Conclusions: Anatomic variations of the maxillary sinuses are a common finding. It necessary for the clinicians to be familiar with these variations to avoid clinical complications especially in cases of implant placements.

Abstract
In December 2019 a newly described single-stranded coronavirus, later named SARS-CoV-2, started its expansion around the world and subsequently caused a global pandemic, affecting the lives of millions of people worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 can bind multiple receptors on different cells and thus invade many target organs, including the respiratory and gastrointestinal mucous membranes, lungs, central nervous system, heart, etc. This virus can affect the kidney tissue both directly and as a consequence of other organ involvement or of the treatment administered, causing acute kidney injury and leaving long term squeals that worsen the prognosis. We describe three patients with acute kidney injury and subsequent acute renal failure at the background of coronaviral infection.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Infectious endocarditis (IE) represents an inflammation of the heart endothelium usually as a result of bacterial colonization after trauma. Splenic abscess is a rare and dangerous extracardiac manifestation of IE. An expert multidisciplinary collaboration is necessary for the diagnosis and treatment strategy of this high-risk and challenging disease. Valvuloplasty and splenectomy are the mainstay of radical treatment and offer excellent long-term results. We present two cases with infectious endocarditis, complicated with splenic abscesses, which were successfully operated in the Department of Cardiac Surgery.
Pathophysiology and Management Possibilities of Thyroid-Associated Depression
Authors: Ivanov S. , Bakalov D. , Bocheva G. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Thyroid hormones and the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPA) axis are responsible for multiple metabolic processes and psychological well-being. Hypothyroidism can induce mood changes, depressive symptoms and even major depressive disorder. This review is focused on the pathophysiology and mechanisms through which the low level of thyroid hormones may affect the brain function, causing the characteristic symptoms of depression. Key pathways of hypothyroid-associated depressive states include: morphological changes in some brain areas (mainly in the hippocampus – a reduction in its volume); a significant reduction of the cerebral blood flow (incl. hippocampus), and lowered levels of neurotrophic factors (e. g. BDNF – brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which are regulated by the thyroid hormones. An adequate and timely thyroid hormone replacement and treatment with conventional antidepressants often can reverse the psychological symptoms.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Increasing the energy efficiency of electricity distribution networks is the commitment of all national and private electricity distribution companies. One of the basic goals is to reduce losses in electricity distribution networks. It is known that losses in the distribution network can be defined as the differences between taken and delivered electricity. Determining losses has several basic tasks. The first task is to determine the difference between the calculated losses and the actual losses, and to determine the reason for this difference and to determine the necessary guidelines for taking measures to reduce losses. The second task is to estimate the loss index for planning and formulating different plans. This paper presents a new approach to reduce the error between calculated and actual losses using a new method based on the Three Mode method. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the power losses in distribution area. The method proposed in this paper significantly reduces the error compared to the classical Three modes method, which is the original contribution of this paper.
Application of Modal and Wavelet Transformation in Detection and Localization of High Impedance Faults
Authors: Ferhatbegović Šeila Gruhonjić , Bajramović Zijad 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
High-resistance fault occurs when the phase comes into contact with ground or grounded parts over objects or surfaces with high resistance values. This results in small values of currents and voltages that may be insufficient for adequate operation of existing protections. As a result, the malfunction continues and can cause electric shocks, further damage to the equipment, and can be a cause of fire. Various approaches to solving this problem can be found in the literature, such as, for example, monitoring the harmonic content of currents and voltages, the application of artificial intelligence and neural networks and the application of wavelet transformation. This paper presents the results of detection and localization of high impedance fault in the distribution 10 kV network based on the application of modal and wavelet transformation of currents at the beginning of the distribution feeder.
Changing Religious Affiliations: Factors Affecting Denominational Changes In Nyambene Synod, Kenya
Authors: Mwila Bishop Alice 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper explores the interaction between the Methodist Church in Kenya (MCK) and the neo-Pentecostal churches in the Nyambene Synod, Kenya, together with the influence of this interaction on the religious landscape. It examines changes in denominational affiliations affecting the Methodist Church, where a substantial number of (particularly young) members have moved to Pentecostal churches and movements in the region. This identifies factors affecting religious affiliation in the Nyambene Synod and the impact that changing affiliation has on the Methodist Church. Through qualitative empirical research, the study identifies three main factors that increasingly influence movements of Christians between churches: the contemporary consumer culture that emphasises personal choice, the understanding of ecclesial identity, and the relevance of the church to contemporary (Kenyan) society. The research challenges the MCK to reassess its offer within the contemporary religious marketplace, not by imitating Pentecostal churches, but by rediscovering its Wesleyan social holiness heritage.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
This study compares the findings of two population surveys of Methodist ministers (presbyters) serving in Great Britain in 1997 and 2008. The findings identified nine areas of change: the quality of Methodist worship is improving; Methodist worship is becoming less traditional and less distinctively Wesleyan; communion is becoming less prioritised; ministers are learning to implement a better work-life balance; the work-related psychological wellbeing of minsters is improving; there is an increase in conservative religious beliefs; expectations on the practices and values of members is being relaxed; homosexual practice is becoming more acceptable; and welcome for Methodist-Anglican unity is receding.
Advances in diagnostics and management of gestational trophoblastic disease

Published: October 2022

Abstract

Background
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a heterogeneous group of rare tumours characterised by abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic tissue. It consists of benign or premalignant conditions, such as complete and partial molar pregnancy and variants of malignant diseases. The malignant tumours specifically are commonly referred to as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). They consist of invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental-site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT).

Conclusions
Patients with GTD are often asymptomatic, although vaginal bleeding is a common presenting symptom. With the advances in ultrasound imaging in early pregnancy, the diagnosis of molar pregnancy is most commonly made in the first trimester of pregnancy. Sometimes, additional imaging such as chest X-ray, CT or MRI can help detect metastatic disease. Most women can be cured, and their reproductive function can be preserved. In this review, we focus on the advances in management strategies for gestational trophoblastic disease as well as possible future research directions.
