The aim of the research is to analyze the effect of policy implementation of Local Regulation No. 12/2009 concerning Areas Without Cigarettes by Civil Service Police Unit on the enforcement of public discipline in the public areas of Bogor City. The policy implementation is understood in Edward III’s perspective based on four aspects, namely communication, resource, disposition/attitude, and bureaucratic structure. The public discipline uses Elizabeth Hunrlock’s perspective based on three aspects, namely rule/norm, consistence, punishment and reward. The research uses Weight Mean Score formula to count the mean and to describe it. It also uses Spearman Rank Correlation formula based on SPSS version.20 to test a hypothesis concerning the relation of policy implementation to public discipline. The results of the research indicate that the policy implementation gets the mean score 3.28, meaning good enough, and the public discipline gets the mean score 3.65, meaning good. The coefficient correlation of two variables gets value 0.406, categorized as the middle. By t-test, the research gets tcount value 3.688 and ttable (N=71) value 1.666. Therefore, tcount > ttable means that alternative hypothesis is accepted. The coefficient determination indicates 16.4% of contribution of policy implementation to public discipline.Keywords: Areas Without Cigarettes, Policy Implementation, Public Areas, Public Discipline.

Abstract Background: To examine the value of spectral CT quantitative parameters in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) microvascular angiogenesis.Methods: The authors evaluated 32 patients with pathologically confirmed RCC who underwent triple-phase contrast-enhanced CT with spectral CT imaging mode from January 2017 to December 2019. Quantitative parameters including the parameters derived from iodine concentration (IC) and water concentration (WC) of 120 keV monochromatic images. The microvascular density (MVD), microvascular area (MVA) and etc. al. of specimens were evaluated. The correlation between IC and WC (including average values and random values) with microvascular parameters were analyzed using Pearson or Spearman rank correlation coefficients.Results: The MVD of all tumors was 26.00 (15.00-43.75) vessels per field at ×400 magnification. The MVD of RCC correlated positively with the mean IC, mean WC, mean NWC, mean NIC, random IC, random NIC in renal cortical phase, WCD1, WCD2, NWCD2 and ICD1 (Spearman rank correlation coefficients, r range, 0.362–0.533; all p < 0.05). The MVA of all tumors was (16.16±8.98) % per field at ×400 magnification. The MVA of RCC correlated positively with the mean IC, mean WC, mean NWC, mean NIC, random IC, random NIC in renal cortical, mean WC and mean NWC in renal parenchymal phase, WCD1, WCD2, WCD3, NWCD2, and NWCD3 (Pearson or Spearman rank correlation coefficients, r range, 0.357–0.576; all p < 0.05). Microvascular grading correlated positively with the mean NWC, mean NIC and random NIC in renal cortical phase, mean NWC in renal parenchymal phase, NWCD2, WCD3, NWCD3, NICD2 and NICD3 (Spearman rank correlation coefficients, r range, 0.367–0.520; all p < 0.05). As for tumor diameter (55.19±19.15), μm, only NWCD3 was associated with it (Spearman rank correlation coefficients, r = 0.388; p < 0.05). Conclusions: IC and WC indexes derived from spectral CT, especially the renal cortical phase, difference between renal cortical phase and parenchymal phase were useful indicators for evaluating tumor angiogenesis. Moreover, the difference of the derived parameters of WC in different phases has stronger correlation with tumor angiogenesis than that of IC.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to examine whether outdoor activity influences the prevalence of myopia in schoolchildren.Materials and methods: 5601 Polish students of elementary and secondary schools (2688 boys and 2913 girls), 6–18 years of age (mean 11.9 ±3.2 years) were examined. In every student cycloplegia after 1% tropicamide was performed. The mean spherical equivalent (SE) was calculated after examination of both eyes. Time spent on outdoor activity was evaluated based on a questionnaire. The obtained results were typed into an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed statistically using Statistica 10 software. Non-parametric tests were used due to the SE distribution being significantly different from normal distribution in the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient (Rs) was used to evaluate the strength of the correlation between these variables. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results: It has been established that with the increase in time spent on outdoor activity, the spherical equivalent of the examined students significantly increases, but the correlation is very weak (Rs = +0.036, p = 0.007).Conclusion: Outdoor activity slightly reduces the prevalence of myopia in schoolchildren.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are as follows: (1) To study the levels of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) in females with acne and/or female pattern hair loss (FPHL) and (2) to study the correlation of the severity of acne and/or FPHL with serum levels of testosterone and DHEAS. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of dermatology and venereology, of a tertiary care institution over a period of 1 year among patients who presented with acne and/or FPHL. Acne was graded using Leeds revised acne grading system and FPHL with Ludwig scale. Competitive immunoenzymatic colorimetric method for quantitative determination of testosterone and DHEAS concentrations in serum (“DiaMetra” kits) was performed. Correlation between quantitative variables was assessed by Pearson correlation and Spearman rank correlation. Results: A total of 84 patients with acne and/FPHL were studied over a period of 1 year. Fifty-one (60.7%) patients had acne, 21 (25%) had FPHL, and 12 (14.3%) patients had both. The mean levels of testosterone in acne, FPHL, and in patients with both were 1.14 ± 4.65 ng/ml, 0.51 ± 0.17 ng/ml, and 0.53 ± 0.24 ng/ml, respectively. The mean DHEAS in patients with acne, FPHL, and with both was 4.64 ± 4.96 μg/ml, 4.96 ± 5.34 μg/ml, and 6.34 ± 5.37 μg/ml, respectively. The Spearman rank correlation between the level of testosterone and the grades of inflammatory acne in face and FPHL was 0.193 and -0.16, respectively. The Spearman rank correlation of DHEAS with the grades of inflammatory acne in face and FPHL was 0.092 and 0.01, respectively. Limitations: The study carried out in a tertiary referral center, not reflecting the status of the condition in general population was the major limitation. Conclusion: This study in a localized population could not elicit a significant statistical correlation between serum levels of total testosterone and DHEAS with severity of acne or FPHL. However, a majority of patients with acne, FPHL, or both had low levels of total testosterone which were discordant with most of the previous studies. Half of the study population with coexisting acne and FPHL had high levels of DHEAS which suggests the need to study the role of DHES in patients with coexistence of acne and FPHL.

ABSTRACT Objectives: On March 1, 2020, the Kurdistan Region Government (KRG) announced 4 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We aimed to explore the response of the public toward the prevention principles against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Methods: The investigators invited individuals from different geographic areas of Duhok Governorate of Iraqi Kurdistan in March 2020. Results: The mean age of the participants was 25.74 (16‐95 years). The mean score and prevalence of fear toward SARS-CoV-2 infection was 4.40 of 10 and 81.9%, respectively. A small percentage of participants did not minimize their exposures by reducing close contacts and transmission of respiratory droplets (14.5%) and visited public areas during the epidemic (28.7%). The study revealed that 30.8% of the participants do not use face masks or tissues when they sneeze in public areas. Most of the participants wash their hands when they suspect a possible transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen (94.6%) and clean or disinfect pathogen contamination-suspected areas at home (84.6%). The study also revealed that some participants (11.2%), due to a lower education, did not visit a medical clinic when they experienced possible symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants agreed with the health policies of KRG against the COVID-19 outbreak (90.8%). Conclusions: Some individuals do not adhere to preventive measures against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract Background To examine the value of energetic-spectrum computed tomography (spectral CT) quantitative parameters in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) microvascular angiogenesis. Methods The authors evaluated 32 patients with pathologically confirmed RCC who underwent triple-phase contrast-enhanced CT with spectral CT imaging mode from January 2017 to December 2019. Quantitative parameters include parameters derived from iodine concentration (IC) and water concentration (WC) of 120 keV monochromatic images. All specimens were evaluated including the microvascular density (MVD), microvascular area (MVA) and so on. The correlation between IC and WC (including average values and random values) with microvascular parameters were analyzed with Pearson or Spearman rank correlation coefficients. Results The MVD of all tumors was 26.00 (15.00–43.75) vessels per field at × 400 magnification. The MVD of RCC correlated positively with the mean IC, mean WC, mean NWC, mean NIC, random IC, random NIC in renal cortical phase, WCD1, WCD2, NWCD2 and ICD1 (Spearman rank correlation coefficients, r range, 0.362–0.533; all p < 0.05). The MVA of all tumors was (16.16 ± 8.98) % per field at × 400 magnification. The MVA of RCC correlated positively with the mean IC, mean WC, mean NWC, mean NIC, random IC, random NIC in renal cortical, mean WC and mean NWC in renal parenchymal phase, WCD1, WCD2, WCD3, NWCD2, and NWCD3 (Pearson or Spearman rank correlation coefficients, r range, 0.357–0.576; all p < 0.05). Microvascular grading correlated positively with the mean NWC, mean NIC and random NIC in renal cortical phase, mean NWC in renal parenchymal phase, NWCD2, WCD3, NWCD3, NICD2 and NICD3 (Spearman rank correlation coefficients, r range, 0.367–0.520; all p < 0.05). As for tumor diameter (55.19 ± 19.15), μm, only NWCD3 was associated with it (Spearman rank correlation coefficients, r = 0.388; p < 0.05). Conclusions ICD and WCD of spectral CT have a potential for evaluating RCC microvascular angiogenesis. MVD, MVA and microvascular grade showed moderate positive correlation with ICD and WCD. ICD displayed more relevant than that of WCD. The parameters of renal cortical phase were the best in three phases. NICD and NWCD manifested stronger correlation with microvascular parameters than that of ICD and WCD.

Abstract: This research is about Implementation of Integrated Administrative Service Program of Sub-District (PATEN) in Purwokerto. This research was conducted in four sub-districts in Banyumas District, North Purwokerto Sub-district, South Purwokerto Sub-district, Purwokerto Timur Sub-district and West Purwokerto Sub-district. This research uses explanatory quantitative approach. The policy implementation model used in analyzing the implementation of PATEN is the model proposed by George C. Edward III. This model explains that there are four variables that play a role in achieving successful implementation of communication, resources, disposition and bureaucratic structure. The results showed that the success rate of implementation of PATEN is in the medium category. In general, PATEN has helped to bring the public services to be more accessible, but still has constraints and needs needed to be overcome. One aspect that is needed to be improved is the resources owned by each District Office because it causes the PATEN implementation in each sub-district to not run consistently. While communication, resource, disposition and bureaucratic structure are found to have positive relationship and significant influence on successful implementation of PATEN both individually and collectively.Keywords: Integrated Administrative Service Program of Sub-District, Policy implementation, Public policy
