Abstract Objective: To compare the efficacy of intravenous midazolam and diazepam in the management of status epilepticus seizures in children. Method: The comparative study was conducted in the paediatric neurological emergency unit of The Children’s Hospital and the Institute Of Child Health, Multan, Pakistan, from December 15, 2018, to May 14, 2019, and comprised paediatric patients of status epilepticus seizures whi were divided into Diazepam and Midazolam groups.  Data was analysed using Graph-Pad Prism 5. Results: Of the 164 patients, 82(50%) were in each of the two groups. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of weight, age, residence area of patients and mean duration of seizures (p>0.05). Status epilepticus seizures subsided after intravenous midazolam administration in 77(93.90%) cases, while success in the diazepam group 64(78.05%) (p<0.05). Mean time taken by midazolam to halt seizures was significantly shorter than diazepam (p<0.05) and less cases of treatment failure were observed with intravenous midazolam (p<0.05). Somnolence was observed after diazepam administration in 47(57.3%) cases (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Intravenous midazolam was found to be superior in efficacy than intravenous diazepam in controlling status epilepticus seizures.

The objective of the present study was to access the comparative study different variables between athletes and non athletes of Kashmir division. Physical fitness is a dynamic concept and is continuously growing in its importance to everyday life and health. Although being an attribute that has a genetic basis, it is also sensitive to changes in type and amount of physical activity, mortality and injury. The criterion measures selected for the study were, Explosive Leg strength, Speed, Agility, Resting pulse rate, Blood pressure (Systolic and dia-Systolic),Breath holding capacity. The Mean, Standard deviation and T value of Athletes and Non-Athletes was calculated. The results showed significant difference between Athletes and Non-Athletes (p<0.005) in case of Explosive Leg strength, Speed, Agility, Resting pulse rate and Blood pressure (Systolic), but no significant difference between Breathing capacity and Diastolic Blood pressure of Athletes and Non-Athletes was observed. It is therefore concluded that the athletes are at higher levels of their physical and physiological fitness levels which enhance their performance in sports and also in daily life activities.

Abstract- There are allegations that elements of Javanese temples are also can be found at The Angkorian temples because the Java Middle Classic temples are older than Angkorian temples and Jayawarman II lived in Java at that time. This can be proved by a comparative process between the architecture elements: mass, plans, figures and ornaments owned by the temples that represents its era in both kingdom. Angkor Wat is a synthesis of the development in Angkor culture that reach its the peak of glory. Angkor Wat has architectural elements of Java Middle Classic temples, especially Prambanan and Borobudur. This led to the alleged of similarity from architectural elements between the temples in the two kingdoms. This Study approached by quantitative with semi qualitative method. Through the study on the main temple buildings of the Java Middle Classic and the main temples of the Angkor Wat era with purposive sampling in relation of mass, plan, figure, and ornament. Described descriptively.Angkor Wat is generally inspired by Borobudur-Prambanan. Broadly speaking, it shows the similarity of Prambanan-Borobudur architectural elements to Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is a synthesis of combining the elements (eclecticism) of Borobudur-Prambanan, but Prambanan has stronger element (indoor temple, tower temple, Hindu temple). In principle (mass, plan, and figure) shows the incorporation of Borobudur-Prambanan, but by ornament on its processing indicates there is further development (dominated findings exist but not similar). Key Words: tipo-morphology, comparison, Angkor, Indochina, Java

Different Characteristics

This article compares dowry regulations in Indonesia and Morocco. Bearing in mind that Indonesia and Morocco have different characteristics in dowry matter, the regulations are worth comparing for. As understood in Islamic marriages, dowry is an important obligation and must be fulfilled by the bridegroom for the bride. Normative Islamic teaching advocates for dowry that is simple and reasonable, but in practice, sometimes dowry becomes expensive and difficult to be given, and thus, causing unfavorable effects. In addition, dowry also has the potentials to be subjected to disputes between husband and wife if not regulated by legislation in details. The author uses a comparative study of law guided by a normative approach through library research. The main source is the statutes of two countries. Analysis technique used is content analysis. As a result, it is found that with different backgrounds of fiqh school in Indonesia and Morroco-one being strongly influenced by Shāfi‘ī school and the other is influenced by Mālikī school-have similar rules on dowry. The only significant difference is that the Mālikī School and its legislation in Morocco considers dowry as a marriage pillar. Meanwhile, the Shāfi‘ī school and its legislation in Indonesia, even though the dowry is regarded as compulsory, it does not become a condition or a marriage pillar. Other differences are the definition of dowry, regulation of wife’s luggage, lost dowry, defective dowry, introduction of mithil dowry, regulation of dowry disputes before entering the household, and regulation of furniture disputes other than the wife’s luggage.

The Military

The paper examines the comparative study of subaltern between Papua in Indonesia’s New Order era and Rohingya in Myanmar during military rule. In Indonesia, the Papuan case is an example of how the centralistic military regime treats Papuan ethnic as an object and treats them as “the others” rather than considers them as a part of the “Indonesian entity” as the subject itself. Meanwhile, in Myanmar, Rohingya case is an example of how the centralistic military junta regime treats Rohingya ethnic as “the others” and considers them as foreigners in Myanmar. This paper found a significant difference between the treatment of the Indonesian military regime towards Papuan ethnic and the treatment of the Myanmar military junta regime towards Rohingya ethnic. In Indonesia, the military regime acknowledges Papuan as a citizen of Indonesia. However, the regime considers Papuan as the “different other” nonetheless. Their different race and ethnicity from Java and Malay ethnic as the majority ethnic are not the subjects of the cause, yet it is caused by Papuan traditional behavior which is regarded as “backward” as by the central regime. Meanwhile in Myanmar, since the enforcement of citizenship law in 1982, the military regime clearly does not acknowledge Rohingya from state citizenship because of their identities, such as religion and Rohingya's historical background.

Abstract Introduction:Monocular elevation deficiency syndrome (MEDS) is a monocular elevation deficiency in abduction and adduction characterised by the hypofunction of superior rectus (SR) and inferior oblique muscles. Only a limited number of studies are published on the management of this problem. Herein, the indications and types of surgery for monocular elevation deficiency syndrome are reported.Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, all MEDS patients reported during 2010 to 2020 were retrieved from Electronic Medical Records after approval from the Hospital Ethical Committees. The data were exported in a pre-tested online format. The demographic and clinical information and data of surgeries, including strabismus and ptosis, were reported. The follow-up data were collected in a specific format. Strabismus was managed using Knapp procedure, Inferior Rectus recession and a combination of both approaches. Ptosis was corrected by Levator Palpebral Superioris (LPS) resection and brow suspension. The data were analysed using SPSS 22 based on descriptive analysis and cross-tabulation.Results: The cohort consists of 62 cases (females 26, males 36) of patients with mean age 17.00±12.31 years 40/62 cases comprised the paediatric age group. Knapp was carried out in 39, IR recession was carried out in 35, and combined Knapp+IR recession was performed in 17 cases based on FDT and FGT data. The comparative study found significant difference amongst these techniques (P=0.04). Ptosis correction was carried out by LPS resection in 21 and brow suspension in 23 cases depending on LPS function. This comparative study did not find any significant difference in the results (P=0.234).Conclusion: MEDS is a rare disease with various clinical features. The surgical management of strabismus may have more success for the combined technique than for those applied alone.
