Innovative STRoke Interactive Virtual thErapy (STRIVE) online platform for community-dwelling stroke survivors: a randomised controlled trial protocol

Introduction: The STRoke Interactive Virtual thErapy (STRIVE) intervention provides community-dwelling stroke survivors access to individualised, remotely supervised progressive exercise training via an online platform. This trial aims to determine the clinical efficacy of the STRIVE intervention and its effect on brain activity in community-dwelling stroke survivors.Methods and analysis: In a multisite, assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial, 60 stroke survivors >3 months poststroke with mild-to-moderate upper extremity impairment will be recruited and equally randomised by location (Melbourne, Victoria or Launceston, Tasmania) to receive 8 weeks of virtual therapy (VT) at a local exercise training facility or usual care. Participants allocated to VT will perform 3–5 upper limb exercises individualised to their impairment severity and preference, while participants allocated to usual care will be asked to maintain their usual daily activities. The primary outcome measures will be upper limb motor function and impairment, which will be assessed using the Action Research Arm Test and Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer, respectively. Secondary outcome measures include upper extremity function and spasticity, as measured by the box and block test and Modified AshworthScale, respectively, and task-related changes in bilateral sensorimotor cortex haemodynamics during hand reaching and wrist extension movements as measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Quality of life will be measured using the Euro-Quality of Life-5 Dimension-5 Level Scale, and the Motor Activity Log-28 will be used to measure use of the hemiparetic arm. All measures will be assessed at baseline and immediately postintervention

Pengaruh Pengetahuan dan Sikap terhadap Kesiapsiagaan Masyarakat dalam Menghadapi Bencana Banjir di Desa Perkebunan Bukit Lawang Kecamatan Bahorok Tahun 2011

Flood preparedness will show the existence of attitudes and knowledge in the face of disaster and became an important part, especially in areas frequently hit by floods as the village of Perkebunan Bukit Lawang. flooding potentially occurred in the village of Perkebunan Bukit Lawang as in 2004. This is because the nature of the slope of the Bahorok River basin as  well as the many people who cut down trees around the river and a lot of activity in near the river. The purpose of this study to analyze the influence of knowledge and attitudes towards community preparedness in the face of catastrophic flooding in the village of Bukit Lawang district Bahorok Plantation. This type of research is analytical research using explanatory approach. The population in this study were all heads of families in the village of Perkebunan Bukit Lawang in 2011, amounting to 740 people to the sample amounted to 89 people drawn at random proportional sampling. Data obtained through interviews using questionnaires, were analyzed with multiple logistic regression. The results showed that statistically there is the influence of knowledge and attitudes towards community preparedness in the face of catastrophic floods in the village of Perkebunan Bukit Lawang in 2011 Variable attitude householders provide the most impact to the value of β coefficient (21.623). Necessary improvement of environmental health, so people are not too exploit nature for his life and eventually destroying the forest.

Concurrent anodal transcranial direct-current stimulation and motor task to influence sensorimotor cortex activation

Functional targeting with anodal high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-atDCS) of involved brain areas during performance of a motor task (online) may facilitate sensorimotor cortex neuroplasticity compared to performing the motor task after HD-atDCS (offline). The aim of this study was to employ functional near-infrared spectroscopy to compare the time course of motor task-related changes in sensorimotor cortex activation between online and offline HD-atDCS. We hypothesized that online HD-atDCS would have a greater effect on task-related sensorimotor cortex activation than offline HD-atDCS. In a within-subject sham controlled and randomized study design, 9 healthy participants underwent 3 HD-atDCS sessions (online, offline and sham) targeting the left sensorimotor cortex separated by 1 week. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy hemodynamic changes were measured from the left sensorimotor cortex during a simple finger opposition motor task before (Pre), immediately (T1) and 30 min after (T2) each session. The movement rates were not different between (online, offline, sham) or within (Pre, T1, T2) sessions. At T2, online HD-atDCS was associated with a significant increase (large effect size) in sensorimotor cortex activation (Hedges g = 1.01, p<0.001) when compared to sham; there was a nonsignificant trend to increase activation between offline and sham (Hedges g = 0.52, p=0.05) and between online and offline (Hedges g = 0.53, p=0.06). Concurrent application of HD-atDCS during a motor task may produce larger sensorimotor cortex activation than sequential application

OH-2 Whatsapp Messanger As a Communication, Coordination And Evaluation Media In Rabies Control Program In Bengkalis District

INTRODUCTIONZoonotic control program can not only be done by one sector only, but must involve related sectors so that handling can be done comprehensively. Since 2016 Bengkalis Disctrict has been chosen as one of project area of One Health on prevention and control of targeted emerging infectious diseases and targeted zoonotic, especially rabies. 3 steps of training have been conducted for public health officers, animal health officer and wildlife health officer who served in Bengkalis District.The absence of an information system on rabies-transmitted animal bites cases that can be accesed by officers from these three sectors has hampered the communication process which is the first step in implementing rabies prevention and control activities. Therefore we need a media that can bridge officers from the animal health, public health and wildlife health sector in communicating related cases of rabies-transmitted animal bites. As one of the output of One Health project, a whatsapp messanger grup, named “One Health Riau” have been created for all the field officers from the three sector to help them to communicate.This study aims to provide an overview of the use of whatsapp messenger to communicate, coordinate and also to evaluate field officers in the handling of rabies-transmitted animal bite cases in Bengkalis District during March to May 2018

Changes in Congregational Prayer Practices During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Aceh from Maqashid al-Sharia Perspective

Covid-19 has changed the habits of almost all activities of human life, including religious matters. The worship practices have also changed, such as performing prayers at home, keeping distant rows, and wearing masks. This paper is empirical legal research that seeks to examine the living law in the Aceh society with a maqashid shari’a perpective during a pandemic. The data collection techniques were interview, observation, and document study. It concludes that the government policies, including the 2020 Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB), the 2021 Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), fatwas of Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and Tausiyah of Acehnese Ulema regulating and calling for restrictions on religious activities are rules with benefit values and in accordance with the principle of maqasid al-shari'a. Despite some people's rejection, the policies are, in fact, based on maqasid al-shari'a, namely protecting the life (hifz al-nafs) so that people will not get infected by the virus. Moreover, public safety is the highest law purpose to maintain. The policies also prove the state's role through the rule when conditions endanger the community in addition to avoiding harms as a part of Islamic law orders. (Covid-19 telah mengubah kebiasaan hampir seluruh aktivitas kehidupan manusia, mulai dari ekonomi, sosial, budaya, pendidikan bahkan agama. Pada aspek agama aktivitas ibadah juga mengalami perubahan misalnya himbauan shalat di rumah, menjaga jarak saf dan memakai masker. Tulisan ini merupakan penelitian hukum empiris yang berupaya menelaah hukum sebagaimana yang terjadi dalam realitas masyarakat dengan pendekatan hukum Islam saat pandemi. Sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data yang dipakai adalah wawancara, observasi dan studi dokumen. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pada awalnya himbauan sebagai pemerintah tidak secara menyeluruh diikuti oleh masyarakat karena setiap daerah berbeda tingkat penularan dan kondisi covid terjadi. Setelah aturan PPKM 2021 diterapkan hal ini relatif teratur termasuk di Aceh karena dibedakan empat level dan berdasarkan tingkat penularan dan korban yaitu, merah, orange, kuning dan hijau. Kebijakan pemerintah agar tidak salat jamaah di masjid pada saat kondisi penularannya tinggi sebenarnya mengacu pada konsep maqashid syari’ah yaitu menjaga jiwa (hifz al-nafs) agar masyarakat tidak tertular virus. Meskipun sebagian masyarakat khusus daerah atau kabupaten yang tingkat penularannya rendah menganggap bahwa shalat berjamaah di masjid tetap harus dilakukan dengan pertimbangan menjaga agama (hifz al-din) sesuai protokol kesehatan. Namun patut dicatat kebijakan pemerintah tersebut mengandung kemaslahatan yang bertujuan untuk menghindari kemudharatan dan menolak bahaya sebagaimana disebutkan dalam kaidah fikih. Sehingga menghindarkan diri dari kemudharatan dan taat kepada pemerintah juga merupakan perintah syariat Islam.
