Most variants of bacteria are resistant to traditional antibiotics which are organic. To overcome the growing infections, bacteria resistant infections, and multiple drug resistance (MDR) rates, transition metals with biological importance were coordinated to organic ligands (Ibuprofen and Salicylic acid) with anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, metal complexes of mixed Ibuprofen and Salicylic acid were prepared using a standard method to give of the type [M(Ibu)(Sal)X] (where M = Fe2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and X = Cl2, Ibu = Ibuprofen, Sal = Salicylic acid). The complexes were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, conductivity measurements, melting points, FT-IR, and X-ray diffraction. The metal ions are coordinated to the ligands via the carboxylato oxygen donor atoms of both ligands. From the physicochemical data, the complexes are non-electrolytes. The XRD study suggested that the metal complexes possess a well-defined crystalline structure with average crystallite sizes of < 62 nm. Evaluations of the antimicrobial activities of the ligands and their complexes against gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, B. subtilis, S. faecalis) and gram-negative bacteria (K. pneumonia, E. coli, and P. aeroginosa) via standard method were utilized to determine the zones of inhibition. The complexes exhibited a higher zone of inhibition, indicating higher antimicrobial activities when compared to the parent ligand. The results revealed that the metal-drug complexes are promising chemotherapeutic agents with wide spectrum of activities.

Rural Electrification using Iliceto Shield Wire Scheme in Developing Countries: Tanzania Case Study
Authors: Munisi Heavenlight M , Kihwele Santos 
Published: January 2022

Rural electrification rate in Tanzania is still very low despite the efforts made by the Rural Energy Agency (REA) in Tanzania. Rural electrification using medium voltage (MV) method has two major obstacles. First obstacle is high cost associated with the cost of extending the grid electricity to rural areas. Second obstacle is remoteness of the villages, which leads to high power loss during transmission. In lieu of economic extension of rural electrification areas, this paper proposes a low cost solution of Iliceto Shield Wire Scheme (ISWS). This technique involves insulating shield wires (SW) from high voltage (132-400 kV) transmission line and energizing (11-33 kV) them from nearby substation at one line and use ground as MV phase conductor. The paper undertakes literature review of ISWS technology as installed in other developing countries. After that, a case study is selected in Mpaji village in Tanga region Tanzania. Analysis was made on voltage drop, power flow and cost for rural electrification using ISWS technology. Using ISWS for Mpaji village resulted in 10.89% voltage drop with total investment cost of about 49.4% compared to MV conventional method.

Temperature Effects on the Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Sulfuric Acid Solution by Acacia senegal Gum with Halide Ions
Authors: Emmanuel Jovine , Buchweishaija Joseph 
Published: January 2022

The effects of temperature on the inhibitive effect of naturally occurring Acacia senegal gum exudate on the corrosion of mild steel in sulfuric acid was studied between 35 and 70 °C using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization methods. Findings showed that Acacia senegal gum exudate decreases the corrosion rate of mild steel. The inhibition efficiency declined with raising temperature above 35 °C. The increase in the corrosion rate with increasing temperature was observed for both uninhibited and inhibited systems. Addition of halide ions to the Acacia senegal gum exudate solution enhanced the corrosion inhibition efficiency because of synergistic effects, achieving higher performance with iodide ions as compared to bromide ions. However, the synergistic effects declined above 35 °C up to 70 °C due to temperature effects. It has been observed that increasing temperature adversely affected inhibition efficiencies of both Acacia senegal gum exudate and the synergy between Acacia senegal gum exudate and halide ions. Corrosion rates of mild steel, inhibition efficiencies of Acacia senegal gum exudate and the synergistic effects of halide ions from polarization and impedance measurements were consistent.
Keywords: temperature, corrosion, mild steel, synergistic effects, Acacia senegal, gum exudate.
Trends and Disparities in Inpatient Rehabilitation of Adolescents: The Effect of Demographics, Injury Characteristics, and Facility Type
Authors: Barnett Heather M. , Patel Hetal R. , Fuentes Molly M. , Bunnell Aaron E. 
Published: January 2022

Background:
Intensive rehabilitation of adolescents occurs in general and pediatric inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs), but differences in admission and outcomes by facility type have not been thoroughly investigated, particularly among persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Objectives:
To investigate factors related to admission to pediatric or adult IRFs among adolescents and compare the rehabilitation outcomes between facility types.

Methods:
Using a single-center retrospective cohort study design, demographic information, medical data, and rehabilitation outcomes were obtained by chart review of patients aged 15 to 18 years who received a rehabilitation medicine consultation at an urban level 1 trauma center between 2017 and 2019 (N = 96). Analysis was performed using R statistical software.

Results:
SCI was the second most common diagnosis (21% of patients) and accounted for 36% of inpatient rehabilitation admissions. SCI patients were more likely to undergo rehabilitation at the level 1 trauma versus pediatric facility (relative risk [RR] = 2.43; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.08–5.44) compared to traumatic brain injury patients. Admission to trauma versus pediatric IRF was also associated with Black compared to White race (RR = 2.5; CI = 1.12–5.56), violence compared to other etiologies of injury (RR = 2.0; CI = 1.10–3.77), and Medicaid compared to private insurance (RR = 2.15; CI = 1.01–4.59). Admission to pediatric IRF was associated with longer length of stay than admission to adult IRF when adjusted for diagnosis (30.86 ± 21.82 vs. 24.33 ± 18.17 days; p = .046), but Functional Independence Measures did not differ.

Conclusion:
Adolescents with SCI and those experiencing systemic disadvantages, including racism and poverty, were more likely to be admitted to trauma compared to pediatric IRF.
Durability of Improved Trunk Control Following Activity-Based Locomotor Training in Children With Acquired Spinal Cord Injuries
Authors: Lucas Kathryn , King Molly , Ugiliweneza Beatrice , Behrman Andrea 
Published: January 2022

Background:
A recent study in pediatric spinal cord injury (SCI) demonstrated activity-based locomotor training (ABLT) improved trunk control, measured by the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo). It is not known whether improved trunk control is maintained and, if so, for how long.

Objectives:
The purpose was to determine the durability of improvements in trunk control after ABLT is stopped. We hypothesized that SATCo scores at follow-up would not significantly regress (a) beyond the score measured at discharge and (b) to the initial SATCo pre-ABLT level.

Methods:
Patients were assessed pre ABLT, after completing an episode of care, and upon returning to the clinic 1 or more months without ABLT. Durability is a score change less than 3, which is the measurement error of the SATCo.

Results:
Twenty-eight children (10 females; 4 ± 2.5 years old) completed at least 40 sessions of ABLT and returned for the follow-up 8 ± 7 months (range, 1–38) after the episode of care. Trunk control improved 6 ± 3/20 points with ABLT (p &lt; .0001). At the follow-up, average SATCo score decreased 2 ± 2/20 points, and the follow-up SATCo score was 4 ± 3 points higher than pre ABLT (p &lt; .0001). There was no correlation between the change in SATCo scores and changes in age, weight, height or elapsed time between discharge and follow-up.

Conclusion:
Improvements in trunk control due to ABLT were maintained, indicating ABLT is neurotherapeutic. Although not achieving complete recovery of trunk control, the immediate effects and sustained improvements provide support for a clinical shift to neurotherapeutic approaches and for continued research to achieve enhanced recovery.
Walking on Thorns
Authors: Kamberović Husnija 
Published: January 2022

The symposium held in Mostar in 1966, where the communists from Bosnia and
Herzegovina publicly discussed the national issue of Croats, admitting also the wrong politics
implemented after 1945 towards the Croats of West Herzegovina, aimed at the integration
of West Herzegovina into the BiH framework, with the ultimate goal of integrating BiH for
the purpose of achieving its equal status in the Yugoslav federation. After an extensive analysis
of the situation in West Herzegovina that showed a mass emigration of Croats from the area
to Western Europe, due to the negative political and economic situation, where they joined
various immigrant groups mostly hostile towards Yugoslavia, the communist authorities
had tried to end this trend and integrate the West Herzegovina area primarily around the
regional centre (Mostar), and then to open the perspective of a wider integration of Bosnia
and Herzegovina around the centre of the republic (Sarajevo), for the purpose of imposing
Bosnia and Herzegovina as an equal member of the Yugoslav federation.
Although the attitudes presented at the 1966 symposium opened certain perspectives to
Croats of West Herzegovina, some high-ranking politicians also showed resistance. Critics
appeared who thought that opening of West Herzegovina, liberalisation of the political
attitude towards Croats and the removal of the ustaša legacy imposed to the area opened
space for revitalisation of the ustaša movement. The Belgrade press was at the forefront of
such claims, using several terrorist activities that had taken place in that period in Yugoslavia
(the movie theatre and the railway station attacks in Belgrade, planting explosives at the
Zagreb Mirogoj Cemetery, etc.) as an argument, since the accused were Croats from
West Herzegovina. BiH political leadership claimed that the attacks were orchestrated
by political and intelligence circles who opposed the Mostar symposium, and that certain
groups outside Bosnia and Herzegovina used those events as an opportunity to interfere
into the political events in Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to compromise the politics of
creation of national equality, which was the main political orientation of BiH communists.
Pax Americana
Authors: Šehić Zijad 
Published: January 2022

Using relevant literature and diplomatic sources, the author reflects on
the plans and activities of the international community to end the war in the Republic
of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from the Washington to the Dayton Peace
Agreement. Special consideration is devoted to those events that had influenced the shift in
US policy and caused its more active engagement. The analysis of international diplomacy
and attitudes of various countries towards the developments in the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, pointed to the complexity of achieving a peace agreement for which the US
had to try out various strategies and seek different solutions. The author pays particular
attention to events that had paved the way for a peace agreement, as well as the military
and political means that played a key role in achieving peace. Based on the analysis of the
provisions and subsequent implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement, the author
believes that the agreement had ended the war, but did not allow the establishment of a
functional state because the ideologies that had caused the war continued to live and
deepen the divisions in the society of Bosnia and Herzegovina through propaganda and
rhetoric. He believes that re-enabling of normal life in the country requires the removal of
these structures and the consequences that they have produced and continue to produce,
which is why Bosnia and Herzegovina is still waiting for support for its European path.
He claims that this could only work if the democratic settings were to be imposed by the
international community, since the project of building the institutions was left unfinished.
If the international community consistently supports this, the author believes that the path
of accession of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the modern European societies will be much
shorter and much faster.

Published: January 2022

The paper will analyze the impact of the Neretva flood from 2013 on the election cycle in Metković. Since the similar research has been conducted in Germany
and the Czech Republic, it will be determined the extent to which the flood affected local elections by analyzing election results in polling stations and parts of the city affected by
floods with those who did not vote. negative consequences of rising Neretva water levels. Based on available data, it will also be investigated to what extent the natural disaster that
struck Metković just before the 2013 elections affected voter turnout. Two hypotheses about turnout and impact on election results will be set to be tested by a chi-square test.

Published: January 2022

Krasomirići are small nobles from Trebinje connected to the settlement of Začula in the Trebinje Forest. They’re vassals of nobles from prince Pavle Radinović
family. The two main families among the Krasomirićs are the heirs of Branko and Dobreč Krasomirić. Brankovići (Radoslav, Pripčin and Sokan) and Dobrečevići (Ozriša and
Radivoj) marked the second and third decades of the 15th century with numerous looting activities against the people of Dubrovnik. A main role in misdeeds was led by Sokan Krasomirić and he was recognized as a great danger, therefore the people of Dubrovnik planned to kill him. Also, a blackmail was announced for him in the Konavle war.

KAJIAN LITERATUR : BAHASA, BUDAYA, DAN PIKIRAN DALAM LINGUISTIK ANTROPOLOGI
Authors: Wedasuwari Ida Ayu Made 
Published: January 2022

Studi bahasa dalam linguistik antropologi dikaitkan dengan bahasa dalam seluruh aspek kehidupan manusia, selain itu linguistik antropologi menekankan pada linguistik sebagai pengungkap pola pikir masyarakat. Bahasa adalah bagian dari budaya. Budaya membantu manusia dalam melangsungkan hidupnya, hal ini berarti bahwa budaya sebagai salah satu pengetahuan yang diperoleh secara sosial, sehingga budaya merupakan bagian dari pikiran. Keberhubungan antara bahasa, budaya, dan pikiran tercermin dalam relativitas linguistik dan hipotesis Sapir Whorf. Relativitas linguistik mengemukakan bahwa orang memiliki kemampuan berbicara yang berbeda karena mereka memiliki cara berpikir yang berbeda. Cara berpikir yang berbeda ini disebabkan oleh bahasa yang menawarkan cara mengungkapkan (makna) dunia di sekitar mereka dengan cara yang berbeda. Hipotesis Sapir Whorf secara teoritis diturunkan dari prinsip dasar relativitas linguistik. Hipotesis Sapir-Whorf membuat pernyataan bahwa struktur bahasa yang biasa digunakan seseorang mempengaruhi cara orang berpikir dan berprilaku. Perbedaan-perbedaan budaya dan jalan pikiran manusia itu bersumber dari perbedaan bahasa, atau tanpa adanya bahasa manusia tidak dapat mempunyai jalan pikiran sama sekali.

Authors: Yahya Mokh. 
Published: January 2022

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan upacara tedak siten sebagai pengenal budaya lokal bagi pembelajar BIPA. Peran budaya daerah sangat memengaruhi budaya bangsa karena budaya daerah menjadi modal utama untuk mempertahankan jati diri/ identitas bangsa dari rongrongan budaya barat yang belum tentu cocok dengan kebudayaan di Indonesia. Budaya daerah/ harus terus kita lestarikan dan kita pertahankan. Karena dengan melestarikan budaya leluhur, diharapkan dapat menjadi landasan untuk lebih mencintai budaya sendiri, di era Bangsa Indonesia yang semakin maju. Budaya daerah dapat diperkenalkan kepada pembelajar Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA). Hal itu bertujuan agar warga asing mengetahui bahwa Indonesia kaya akan budaya. Dengan begitu, negara lain tidak lagi mengakui budaya daerah. Contoh budaya daerah yang dapat dijadikan sebagai materi ajar BIPA adalah upacara tedak siten. Upacara ini dilakukan ketika seorang bayi berusia tujuh bulan dan mulai belajar duduk dan berjalan di tanah.

Pendidikan Karakter merupakan suatu cara untuk menghasilkan seseorang atau siswa yang mempunyai kecerdasan akademik dan moral. Sampai saat ini pendidikan karakter masih sangat diperlukan karena untuk mengatasi rendahnya nilai moral yang selalu mengalami peningkatan. Lembaga pendidikan yang berbasis formal maupun informal harus saling bersinergi untuk membiasakan pendidikan karakter pada anak. Penerepan pendidikan karakter sebaiknya dilakukan sejak dini karena merupakan langkah yang tepat, masa ini disebut masa keemasan untuk meletakan nilai dasar karakter yang berguna untuk masa depannya. Dibutuhkan sebuah media untuk megaplikasikan pendidika karakter pada anak usia 4-6 tahun. Dongeng merupakan salah satu pendekatan pembelajaran yang relevan dan menyenangkan karena anak masih suka berimajinasi dalam menilai pendidikan moral. Penanaman pendidikan karakter bisa ditanamkan kepada anak amelalui cerita atau dongeng dengan mempelajari karakter atau sifat yang ada pada dongeng tersebut. Pendongeng bisa menggunakan media visual serta bahasa yang disampaikan tentunya telah dipilih atau diciptakan untuk dapat tampilan dalam bentuk menarik sederhana, jelas, ekonomis, dan inovatif untuk menghindari kesalahan persepsi oleh anak terhadap materi atau pesan yang ingin disampaikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif (qualitative research) dengan menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus penelitian menggunakan teknik “snowball sampling terhadap pendidik, anak, kepala lembaga,orang tua. Tujuan jangka panjang penelitian ini adalah untuk menanamkan pendidikan karakter pada siswa usia pra sekolah melalui dongeng berbasis visul, dengan cara memberikan sosialisasi dan pelatihan kepada terhadap pendidik, anak, kepala lembaga,orang tua.
