The Role of the Koran Therapy on Anxiety and Immunity of Hospitalized Patients
Introduction: Patient in the hospital faced with anxiety, in feel stronge with the hospital, medicine and treatment action although unsure prognosis of desease. The anxiety will inflict a financial loss because it will influence the attitude of the patient and immunology respons that will effect on how long the patient stay in the hospital and how much cost of treatment. This study was aimed to explain the anxiety level and imunity of patient in the hospital before and after The Al Qur\u27an therapy. Method: This study used Pre experiment pre-posttest design involved 7 respondents, taken by accidental sampling. The independent variable was The Al Qur\u27an therapy and the dependent variable were anxiety level and imunity (basofil, eosinofil, monocyt, limfocyt and leucocyt). Anxiety level were collected by Hamilton Anxiey Rating Scale and the imunity were gotten from laboratory result of basofil, eosinofil, monocyt, limfocyt and leucocyt . Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test for anxiety level and Mc Nemar for imunity with level of significance α ≤ 0.05.Result: Results showed that The Al Qur\u27an therapy has an effect on decreasing anxiety level (p=0.016). In contrast, there was no effect on imunity after therapy (p = 0,625). incision. Analysis: It can be concluded that the Koran therapy was proven to reduce anxiety level and increased on imunity on patients hospitalized. Discussion: For future Further studies should be developed and include larger responden to obtain more accurate results

Discussion: Level of patient adherence to therapy not influenced by demographi factor but by the quality of interaction health workers and other factors. This study recommended for further analysis of the factors that influence the level of compliance of the patient as psychological factors (belieft , motivation), socio-economic, and social support
Model Development of Nursing Student Loyalty in Politeknik of Health
Introduction: Loyalty of nursing student is an important factor that nursing education should pay attention in order to compete with other nursing educations; involved by perceived value, expectation, and quality assurance in nursing higher education. The purpose of this study was to develop a loyalty model of nursing student in nursing higher education. Methods: This study was an explanatory research with cross sectional approach. Population were nursing student in Poltekkes Banjarmasin, with 112 samples which is selected by proportional random sampling. Data was collected by giving questionnaire and analyzed by partial least square. Result: Result of this study indicates that was an effect of costumer expectation on quality assurance in nursing higher education, there was effect of costumer expectation on perceived value in nursing student, there was an effect of customer expectation on student satisfaction (4) there was effect of quality assurance in nursing higher education, there wasn't any affect of quality assurance in nursing higher education on student satisfaction, there was effect of perceived value in nursing student on student satisfaction, there was effect of student satisfaction on student loyalty. Discussion: Overall result of this research were, student loyalty in nursing higher education developed by student satisfaction. Student satisfaction formed by perceived value. Perceived value developed from two aspects quality assurance, and student expectation, quality assurance of higher education wasn't directly effect to student sasfaction. However, indirectly effect through student perceived value. Student satisfaction in nursing higher education was stronger effect than any other variable in this loyalty model. Loyalty model in this research can be use for improvement student loyalty on health education that focused on improvement student satisfaction without deny the other aspect. Further research is needed to analyze word of mouth effect on student loyalty

Clinical comparison of three aligner systems
Objectives: The object of this clinical study was to compare three different aligner systems. The aim was to help the ortho-dontist with choosing an adequate aligner philosophy/therapy system.Materials and methods: This study included 60 randomly chosen patients. Mild to moderate cases were selected, and patients were assigned to three groups of 20 patients each. One group was treated with Invisalign (20 patients), the sec-ond group was treated with CA Clear Aligner and the third group of patients was treated with the Orthocaps aligner sys-tem. In all cases, attachments were used to additionally en-hance the fitting and efficiency of the aligner.Results: All investigated aligner systems achieved the predict-ed goal of the treatment, although with significant differences concerning accuracy, the predicted duration of treatment and the number of refinements. Significant differences were deter-mined, especially regarding the efficiency, duration and cost of treatments.Conclusion: Aligner orthodontics allow for handling difficult treatment cases despite different aligner philosophies, differ-ent materials and different durations of treatment. There were significant differences concerning the envisaged time of treatment. In moderate cases, a significant difference con-cerning duration and costs was determined. IntroductionThere are many orthodontic systems on the market, and it can be difficult for clinicians to choose. The aim of this clinical study was to compare three different aligner systems. The main differences between the systems are described. The study combines a report of 60 treated patients, treated with three currently available systems. Comparisons were made based on factors useful to the clinician, including comfort, cost, and whether the intended treatment goal was reache
Beyond the pledges: reflections on sustainability transitions in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region
The adoption of the SDGs is a step, not a success. (James 2015)
On 1 January 2016, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) paving the way towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development became effective, after being adopted by world leaders at a UN General Assembly held in September 2015. States gave themselves the next 15 years to take concrete action towards achieving these new universally applicable goals. Yet to date, it is evident that there remains a discrepancy between the rate of global progress and the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda (UN 2018). We need to move beyond the initial euphoria of endorsement that occurred in September 2015 and focus on what needs to be done to realise the sustainability agenda in the most effective context-relevant ways, given the various different regions. This places a critical responsibility on researchers, policymakers, and practitioners worldwide to take stock of where things stand and the road ahead
Towards Sustainable Production Processes Reengineering: Case Study at INCOM Egypt
INCOM Egypt has undergone automation in some processes where critical aspects of its operations are transformed and automated. This paper presents an overview of INCOM Egypt processes using Ould Riva and analyses the process of ‘handling a product’. It aims to demonstrate effective automation of the production of wires and cables process accompanied to Industry 4.0 while considering environmental and economic sustainability goals that were inhibited by COVID-19 restrictions. Ould’s Riva method is used to analyse the production process of wires and cables to propose improvements for automating the process. Business process modelling is utilised to study the processes for clearer understating. The flow of information within the process is also analysed to integrate the production process with other processes and supply chains, which helps to identify which production activities can be automated and mainstreamed into the information flow to achieve environmental and economic sustainability. The context of INCOM Egypt, as a case study, is presented along with the Riva model of its operations. The paper identifies the before, i.e., As-Is process, and after, i.e., To-Be Process, automation of the ‘handle a product’ process using the Role Activity Diagram (RAD). The process involved redesigning and improving different activities to increase resource-use efficiency to participate in achieving the goals of sustainability. The focus of this paper is to investigate the negative impact of COVID-19 on sustainability and to examine the accomplishments of process automation of wire production towards environmental and economic sustainability. The results of the research reveal a relationship between business process modelling and sustainability. Moreover, automation of processes (Industry 4.0) is found to reduce the negative effect of COVID-19 on production. A triangulation between process modelling, process automation (Industry 4.0), and sustainability was determined. Each one is reinforcing and impacting one another. The RAD model demonstrates that automation of the activities in the process reduces waste, time, cost, and redundant processes as factors of sustainability, which may also help to lessen the unfavorable effects of the pandemic. The results proved generalisation on other organisations in the same line of business
