Implementation of Standardization Policy for Cross-Border Service Posts
Get PDFMarore Island, which is part of the Sangihe Islands Regency, has for many years been a gateway and also a center for cross-border trade between the residents of the Sangihe Islands and the residents of the South Philippines. The strong inflow of goods then tends to be more "illegal trading". The Sangihe Islands Regency Government then tried to overcome this by issuing Sangihe Islands Regency Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2013 concerning the Standardization of Marore Cross-Border Service Posts. However, after more than 5 years of this policy being established, it turns out that the problems in the field have not been resolved. In fact, this cross-border trade tends to expand and shift to the capital area of the Regency, namely to the city of Tahuna and also to the sub-district of Peta. On the basis of this reality, research is carried out to find weaknesses and shortcomings in the implementation of this policy. The goal is to produce relevant and appropriate policy designs to overcome this problem. This study is designed using a descriptive qualitative method and uses the policy implementation theory from Jones (1984) which states that policy implementation is related to aspects of organization, interpretation, and application. The output of this research is aimed at academic interests and practical interests. The academic interest is to obtain IPR and the practical interest is to be used as a concrete academic proposal for the re-design of the Sangihe Islands Regency Regional Regulation Number 4 of the Year concerning the Standardization of the Marore Cross-Border Service Post

Early Cognitive Development and Its Effect on Learning Outcomes in Statistics Education
Get PDFThis study explores the impact of initial abilities on learning outcomes in the Education Statistics course at STIT DDI Pasangkayu. Using a descriptive and quantitative approach, data from 22 students were analyzed. Correlation and simple linear regression analyses, performed with SPSS software, revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.754) between students' initial abilities and their final exam scores. The coefficient of determination (r² = 0.568) indicates that initial abilities account for approximately 56.8% of the variance in learning outcomes. The significance of this relationship (p = 0.022) underscores the crucial role of early cognitive skills in academic success. Although initial abilities are a significant predictor of performance, 43.2% of the variance is influenced by other factors, highlighting the need for a broader approach that includes additional variables to fully understand academic achievement. These findings emphasize the importance of assessing students' initial abilities and considering other contributing factors to enhance learning outcomes
Investigation of the Resistance of Klebsiella Bacteria to Antibiotics and the Synthesis of Virulence Factors Isolated from Various Pathogenic Infections
Get PDFThe purpose of the study is to establish the level of antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and to evaluate the production of virulence factors of the isolates originating from patients with diverse infections in Baghdad. In this study,75 clinical samples, including 32 samples of wounds, fifteen burn samples, 17 sputum samples and eleven samples of urine were collected from patients afflicted with different infections from some hospitals in Baghdad city, during the period from October to March 2023. It was found that 22 of the isolates were of Klebsiella pneumonia isolates after culturing the clinical samples on MacConkey agar, blood agar, and Eosin methylene blue medium, in addition to studying the morphologic appearance, biochemical tests, and confirmation of diagnosis using the VITEKA2 system. The antibiotic sensitivity test showed that all isolates showed (100%) multi-drug resistance to 7 antibiotics including Cefotaxime, Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol, Gentamicin, Rifampicin, while most of the isolates were sensitive to Azithromycin. The investigation of certain virulence factors of the Klebsiella pneumonia bacteria revealed that all of the isolates were encased in a capsule and were incapable of producing the hemolysin enzyme, but they were all able to produce the urease enzyme and form biofilm. The isolates produced bacteriocin at a rate of 12%
Article Review: Skin Diseases in Dromedary Camels
Get PDFThe dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) is a significant livestock species in several nations located in desert and semi-arid regions of Asia, Northern and Eastern Africa, South America, and the high highlands of the Andes. In Iraq, the FAO figures of 2014 indicate that there are around 65,000 camels, all of which belong to the species Camelus dromedarius and have a single hump. Camels are the primary source of sustenance for all Bedouin clans and villages in various ecological zones in Iraq. This dependence involves the usage of camel milk, meat, leather, and wool. Furthermore, camels have been used as beasts of burden, means of transportation, and mounts. Camels, typically grown in their native desert environment, experience significant stress due to the prolonged dry season. This stress makes them vulnerable to many illnesses and health issues. Historically, owing to little research on camel ailments, doctors believed that camels were immune to many disease-causing causes. Scientific evidence has shown that camels, like other livestock or maybe even more so, are vulnerable to the same disease-causing viruses that impact other animal species. Camels often suffer from illnesses that are challenging to manage because to their non-specific symptoms and similarity to diseases seen in other ruminant animals. Additionally, camels have some resistance to some infections. This research attempts to provide a concise description of the most frequently seen skin disorders in dromedary camels in Iraq
Serological Detection of Toxoplasma Gondii in Animals and Human in Baghdad Province, Iraq
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in field animals (cattle and sheep) and their owners at various areas in Baghdad province (Iraq) during September (2023) and February (2024). Also, it aims to identify the role of cat in transmission of infection to humans and animals. A total of 222 venous blood samples including 84 humans and 138 animals were collected under aseptic conditions into free-anticoagulant glass tubes. In addition, a total of 112 fecal cat samples were collected from different areas in Baghdad city into plastic containers to be examined by the flotation method. The results showed that 84 blood samples from animal owners detected the infection rate were 36.90%. In addition, there is a relationship between infection and age. The study shows that the highest age for infection is 26-30 years, and the percentage was 66.66%. also, the study included examining 138 blood samples from animals divided into 68 sheep and 70 cows’ infection parasite rate was also 41.30%, and through examining the collection of 120 samples of soil from different areas in the city of Baghdad, the percentage of infection with T. gondii parasite reached 32.50%, addition to the infection rate in cats was 50% by examining 112 stool samples collected from different areas in the same city. This study reported the increasing seroprevalence of T. gondii using different samples. The reason for this increase may be due to poor health conditions, the large number of stray cats, the accumulation of dirt, the low degree of health education, and ignorance of the sources of infection for the disease and the attempt to avoid them, as it was noted through the study that a large number of women raise cats in their homes. They do not know that cats are the source of the disease

Case Report: Effect of Ajwa Date Consumption on LDL Levels in Perimenopausal Women
Get PDFDuring perimenopause, there can be a decrease in estrogen production, which indicates the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The production of the hormone estrogen that continues to decrease will cause hypercholesterolemia. Decrease in LDL cholesterol levels can be increased by giving antioxidant properties, which are rich in vitamin C and contain flavanoids and phenolics that function as antioxidants. The method used in this study is Literature Review with Design Narrative Review. The result from the literature it was found the effect of giving ajwa dates (Phoenix Dactylifera L) before and after administration showed a change, namely a decrease in LDL levels after giving ajwa dates. This is because ajwa dates contain flavanoids, phenolics, and plant sterols that function as antioxidant that can prevent the formation of lipid peroxidation. The conclusion based on the results of the literature review, it can be concluded that giving ajwa dates to perimenopause women decreased LDL levels where ajwa dates have antioxidant functions to prevent lipid peroxidation to reduce LDL. The suggestion from the study is necessary to conduct further research on the effect of consumption of ajwa dates on LDL levels in perimenopause women using experimental methods of pretest and posttest design
