Pesan-Pesan Akhlak Dalam Program Siaran Dakwah Pemuda Hijrah Radio Fajri 99.3 Fm Bogor Tahun 2019
Every mu’min is required to have a good character where the character is reflected in the deeds in his daily life. The Prophet must be used as a guide in behavior, because God has given a great character inside the Prophet as an example for all humanity. Radio is an effective mass media that can be used as a medium for delivering Islamic da'wah messages to the public. One of the advantages of preaching through radio is that it does not require a large fee, where the message of preaching can also be conveyed quickly. Since the beginning until now, Radio Fajri 99.3 FM continues to be consistent in delivering da'wah. Many kinds of broadcast/rubric material are provided by this radio for loyal listeners. Based on the above context, the purpose of this study was to find out what moral messages contained in the Pemuda Hijrah Da'wah Broadcats Program of Fajri Radio 99.3 FM Bogor in 2019 and the relationship between moral messages in the Pemuda Hijrah Da'wah Broadcats Program of Fajri Radio 99.3 FM Bogor in 2019 with the characteristics of human spiritual intelligence The method used in this research was the content analysis method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using observation and documentation techniques, namely by collecting recordings of all episodes of the Pemuda Hijrah Da'wah Broadcast Program in 2019. The population of this study was 150 audio recordings (150 episodes). Then the researcher used a purposive sampling method in determining the sample where the sample size was about 10% of the population which was as many as 16 episodes. From the results of this study it can be concluded that the moral messages in the Pemuda Hijrah Da'wah Broadcast Program of Fajri Radio 99.3 FM Bogor in 2019 are patience, trust, devotion to parents (birrul walidain), piety, honesty, gratitude, sincerity, and qana’ah. The relationship between moral messages in Pemuda Hijrah Da'wah Broadcast Program of Fajri Radio 99.3 FM Bogor in 2019 with the characteristics of human intelligence is very close. Every feature of human spiritual intelligence is related to the teachings of Islamic morals. The first characteristic describes the character of trust, the second character describes the character of piety, the third character describes the character of self-introspection (muhasabah), the fourth character describes the character of patience, the fifth character describes the firm character of the establishment (tsabat), the sixth character describes the honest character, the seventh character describes the morality of qana'ah, and the eighth character describes sincerity
The In-Vitro Effects of Sea Cucumber (Stichopus sp1) Extract on Human Osteoblast Cell Line
Despite its claimed therapeutic effects, the action of sea cucumber (known as gamat in the Malay language) on human osteoblast cells is still unknown. We performed in vitro studies utilising extract of Stichopus sp1 (gamat) to elucidate its effects on cell viability and functional activity. We found an inverse relationship between gamat
concentration and its effect on osteoblast cell viability (p<0.001). Only gamat concentration at 1mg/ml significantly promoted cell viability at day 3 of incubation. There was a trend towards increased osteoblast cell function in the presence of gamat at 5mg/ml and 10mg/ml but this observation was not consistent at different incubation periods
Photoacoustic image reconstruction on a mobile platform
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a non-invasive imaging modality showing great potential in medical diagnosis and research due to its high optical contrast and high-resolution deep imaging. After laser irradiation on the tissue surface, energy absorption leads to the generation of acoustic waves (also known as PA waves), which can be collected by ultrasound detectors such as single-element ultrasound transducers (SUTs). A variety of image reconstruction algorithms can be employed to obtain the initial pressure distribution map. Previously, desktops or workstations are widely used for performing image-forming processes owing to their high computation power. But with the upgrade of mobile phones, they possess more and more powerful CPU or GPU, sometimes comparable to desktop computers. The capability of PAT can be further enhanced with the use of the mobile platform. In this work, we explored the usage of mobile platforms to reconstruct PAT images without sacrificing image quality. A mobile application was developed based on Python, implementing a simple delay-and-sum (DAS) beamformer for generating PAT images. HUAWEI P20 was employed to test the application performance, which spent less than 30 seconds to form a well-reconstructed PAT image with the SNR value more than 40 dB. Downsampling process can be performed, leading to much less reconstruction time while the photoacoustic target structure was still reconstructed properly, especially for two-fold downsampling operation. These results indicated that mobile platforms could support fast PAT image reconstruction and at the same time support good image quality.This proceeding is published as Xie, Hui, Praveenbalaji Rajendran, Muhamad Ar Iskandar Zulkifli, and Manojit Pramanik.

Assessing the Impact of Electronic Court Systems on the Efficiency of Judicial Processes in the Era of Digital Transformation
The E-court system promotes the transparency and efficiency globally, however, the Eastern Indonesian courts face challenges due to infrastructure and literacy. Nonetheless, its benefits are crucial for the justice system modernization. This study evaluated the E-court system’s effect on the judicial process’s efficiency in the Religious and District Courts of Biak Numfor using a quantitative research methodology. A survey was conducted on 100 respondents to assess the user satisfaction and system effectiveness, especially in remote areas. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and simple linear regression, which will provide valuable insights. The findings indicate that the E-court system significantly and positively affects the judicial process’s efficiency, and users found it efficient, user-friendly, reliable, secure, and satisfactory. While the quantitative approach provides valuable insights, it also has limitations. Therefore, the study suggests that a qualitative approach could provide a deeper understanding of how information technology affects the justice system. The research results can be useful to the courts in other areas that are considering implementing comparable technologies to enhance process efficiency and user friendliness. In conclusion, the E-court system is a promising technology that can significantly improve judicial process’s efficiency and effectiveness. However, further research is a necessity to understand how information technology affects the justice system, and a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches may provide a more comprehensive understanding

Population‐based cohort study of outcomes following cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder diseases
Background The aim was to describe the management of benign gallbladder disease and identify characteristics associated with all‐cause 30‐day readmissions and complications in a prospective population‐based cohort. Methods Data were collected on consecutive patients undergoing cholecystectomy in acute UK and Irish hospitals between 1 March and 1 May 2014. Potential explanatory variables influencing all‐cause 30‐day readmissions and complications were analysed by means of multilevel, multivariable logistic regression modelling using a two‐level hierarchical structure with patients (level 1) nested within hospitals (level 2). Results Data were collected on 8909 patients undergoing cholecystectomy from 167 hospitals. Some 1451 cholecystectomies (16·3 per cent) were performed as an emergency, 4165 (46·8 per cent) as elective operations, and 3293 patients (37·0 per cent) had had at least one previous emergency admission, but had surgery on a delayed basis. The readmission and complication rates at 30 days were 7·1 per cent (633 of 8909) and 10·8 per cent (962 of 8909) respectively. Both readmissions and complications were independently associated with increasing ASA fitness grade, duration of surgery, and increasing numbers of emergency admissions with gallbladder disease before cholecystectomy. No identifiable hospital characteristics were linked to readmissions and complications. Conclusion Readmissions and complications following cholecystectomy are common and associated with patient and disease characteristics
Pooled analysis of who surgical safety checklist use and mortality after emergency laparotomy
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist has fostered safe practice for 10 years, yet its place in emergency surgery has not been assessed on a global scale. The aim of this study was to evaluate reported checklist use in emergency settings and examine the relationship with perioperative mortality in patients who had emergency laparotomy. Methods: In two multinational cohort studies, adults undergoing emergency laparotomy were compared with those having elective gastrointestinal surgery. Relationships between reported checklist use and mortality were determined using multivariable logistic regression and bootstrapped simulation. Results: Of 12 296 patients included from 76 countries, 4843 underwent emergency laparotomy. After adjusting for patient and disease factors, checklist use before emergency laparotomy was more common in countries with a high Human Development Index (HDI) (2455 of 2741, 89⋅6 per cent) compared with that in countries with a middle (753 of 1242, 60⋅6 per cent; odds ratio (OR) 0⋅17, 95 per cent c.i. 0⋅14 to 0⋅21, P < 0⋅001) or low (363 of 860, 42⋅2 percent; OR 0⋅08, 0⋅07 to 0⋅10, P < 0⋅001) HDI. Checklist use was less common in elective surgery than for emergency laparotomy in high-HDI countries (risk difference −9⋅4 (95 per cent c.i. −11⋅9 to −6⋅9) per cent; P < 0⋅001), but the relationship was reversed in low-HDI countries (+12⋅1 (+7⋅0 to +17⋅3) per cent; P < 0⋅001). In multivariable models, checklist use was associated with a lower 30-day perioperative mortality (OR 0⋅60, 0⋅50 to 0⋅73; P < 0⋅001). The greatest absolute benefit was seen for emergency surgery in low-and middle-HDI countries. Conclusion: Checklist use in emergency laparotomy was associated with a significantly lower perioperative mortality rate. Checklist use in low-HDI countries was half that in high-HDI countries
Surgical site infection after gastrointestinal surgery in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: a prospective, international, multicentre cohort study
Background Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common infections associated with health care, but its importance as a global health priority is not fully understood. We quantified the burden of SSI after gastrointestinal surgery in countries in all parts of the world. Methods This international, prospective, multicentre cohort study included consecutive patients undergoing elective or emergency gastrointestinal resection within 2-week time periods at any health-care facility in any country. Countries with participating centres were stratified into high-income, middle-income, and low-income groups according to the UN's Human Development Index (HDI). Data variables from the GlobalSurg 1 study and other studies that have been found to affect the likelihood of SSI were entered into risk adjustment models. The primary outcome measure was the 30-day SSI incidence (defined by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for superficial and deep incisional SSI). Relationships with explanatory variables were examined using Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02662231. Findings Between Jan 4, 2016, and July 31, 2016, 13 265 records were submitted for analysis. 12 539 patients from 343 hospitals in 66 countries were included. 7339 (58·5%) patient were from high-HDI countries (193 hospitals in 30 countries), 3918 (31·2%) patients were from middle-HDI countries (82 hospitals in 18 countries), and 1282 (10·2%) patients were from low-HDI countries (68 hospitals in 18 countries). In total, 1538 (12·3%) patients had SSI within 30 days of surgery. The incidence of SSI varied between countries with high (691 [9·4%] of 7339 patients), middle (549 [14·0%] of 3918 patients), and low (298 [23·2%] of 1282) HDI (p<0·001). The highest SSI incidence in each HDI group was after dirty surgery (102 [17·8%] of 574 patients in high-HDI countries; 74 [31·4%] of 236 patients in middle-HDI countries; 72 [39·8%] of 181 patients in low-HDI countries). Following risk factor adjustment, patients in low-HDI countries were at greatest risk of SSI (adjusted odds ratio 1·60, 95% credible interval 1·05–2·37; p=0·030). 132 (21·6%) of 610 patients with an SSI and a microbiology culture result had an infection that was resistant to the prophylactic antibiotic used. Resistant infections were detected in 49 (16·6%) of 295 patients in high-HDI countries, in 37 (19·8%) of 187 patients in middle-HDI countries, and in 46 (35·9%) of 128 patients in low-HDI countries (p<0·001). Interpretation Countries with a low HDI carry a disproportionately greater burden of SSI than countries with a middle or high HDI and might have higher rates of antibiotic resistance. In view of WHO recommendations on SSI prevention that highlight the absence of high-quality interventional research, urgent, pragmatic, randomised trials based in LMICs are needed to assess measures aiming to reduce this preventable complication.

Xenobiotic metabolism in differentiated human bronchial epithelial cells
Differentiated human bronchial epithelial cells in air liquid interface cultures (ALI-PBEC) represent a promising alternative for inhalation studies with rodents as these 3D airway epithelial tissue cultures recapitulate the human airway in multiple aspects, including morphology, cell type composition, gene expression and xenobiotic metabolism. We performed a detailed longitudinal gene expression analysis during the differentiation of submerged primary human bronchial epithelial cells into ALI-PBEC to assess the reproducibility and inter-individual variability of changes in transcriptional activity during this process. We generated ALI-PBEC cultures from four donors and focussed our analysis on the expression levels of 362 genes involved in biotransformation, which are of primary importance for toxicological studies. Expression of various of these genes (e. g., GSTA1, ADH1C, ALDH1A1, CYP2B6, CYP2F1, CYP4B1, CYP4X1 and CYP4Z1) was elevated following the mucociliary differentiation of airway epithelial cells into a pseudo-stratified epithelial layer. Although a substantial number of genes were differentially expressed between donors, the differences in fold changes were generally small. Metabolic activity measurements applying a variety of different cytochrome p450 substrates indicated that epithelial cultures at the early stages of differentiation are incapable of biotransformation. In contrast, mature ALI-PBEC cultures were proficient in the metabolic conversion of a variety of substrates albeit with considerable variation between donors. In summary, our data indicate a distinct increase in biotransformation capacity during differentiation of PBECs at the air-liquid interface and that the generation of biotransformation competent ALI-PBEC cultures is a reproducible process with little variability between cultures derived from four different donors
