Leadership in Balinese society is inseparable from Balinese local wisdom, which is a form of unification of culture, customs, and religion. During the royal period until the physical revolution in Bali, leadership was always based on the philosophy of Hinduism. A leader in his leadership should always be based on the teachings of Asta Brata. In the 1945 physical revolution in Bali, leadership on the part of the fighters was greatly influenced by circumstances and nationalism. To be able to understand the loyalty of the people in war cannot be separated from the basic principles that underlie the link between leaders and followers which originate from the teachings of Hindu religious philosophy, especially teachings that discuss the basis of leadership which is always oriented to the nature/gods as a manifestation of God. To support the status of a leader, it is usually manifested in the form of an heirloom keris, the use of titles, troops and so on. Familiarity, the sense of responsibility of the leader with the loyalty that is led melts together. The leader will inflame the spirit of struggle, his followers are always loyal to support him. So that a strong patron-client relationship is established. From this background, this paper reveals the basic principles that underlie the link between leaders and followers in the physical revolution in Bali. The main problem: What are the basic principles that underlie the link between leaders and followers before and during the physical revolution in Bali? Data collection used the historical method through several stages, namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and the stage of writing research results. The limited written data sources that were collected to complete this work used the method of direct interviews with the combatants who held the helm at that time. And supported by a patron-client approach. The results of the study show that the basic principles that underlie the link between leaders and those who are led before and during the physical revolution in Bali are strongly influenced by situations and conditions, the spirit of leadership which originates from the teachings of Hinduism. The link between the leader and the fed is an absolute requirement for the emergence of leadership because there are people who want to follow those who lead.

/in /by

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of corporate governance on the performance of SACCOs, in Rukiga District. SACCO governance was a predictor variable and performance of SACCOs was the study’s outcome variables. A cross-sectional survey was the precursor to the study. Quantitative and qualitative analysis were combined with the collection and analysis of data from 109 respondents. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were used in the analysis, which was done on three different levels. Frequency tables were employed to portray the data as descriptive analysis required presentation of a single variable and its characteristics. A Pearson correlation matrix was used to determine the correlations between the predictor factors and the dependent variable at the bivariate level. The modified predictor variables for corporate governance were regressed against the dependent variable at the multivariate level (performance of SACCOs). To fit the data, a linear regression model was employed. Corporate governance (coef. = 0. 532) has a positive influence on the performance of SACCO in Rukiga District, according to research results from the regression model. The key finding of this study is that corporate governance significantly affects SACCOS performance.

Correlation between Coagulation Profile and Blood group among patients with Ischemic Heart Disease in Khartoum State

/in /by

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a group of diseases that includes stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. It’s considered a major public health issue that affects an estimated 1 in 3 adults in the United States. The ABO blood group and coagulation profile exerts a profound influence on hemostasis,

This study was aimed to correlate between ABO grouping & coagulation profile in Ischemic heart disease at Khartoum State.

Methods: This was case and control study conducted during the period from January to May 2021 at Ahmed gasim hospital. Study included hundred (100) sample, fifty (50) Ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients taken as cases and fifty (50) apparently healthy taken as controls. Blood samples were collected for the analysis of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) using STart stago semi-automated instruments and for the determining the ABO blood group using direct slide agglutination method. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.

Results: The results of study showed that the most frequent ABO blood type among all the participants among ischemic and healthy individuals was O. The mean level of APTT in Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) showed that there was significantly decreased (27.06 ± 3.04) when compared to control group (29.45 ± 3.7) with p. value 0.001. However no significance differences in the mean level of PT between two groups (p value= 0.96).

Its also observed that among all study participants, in blood group A, the PT and aPTT levels were the least, while blood group O had the greatest PT and aPTT values. No association was found between ABO grouping and coagulation profile in ischemic heart disease in case and control group.

Conclusion: This study concluded that O blood group was more frequent among patients with IHD followed by A blood group and least frequent was AB. In addition, there was significant shorter aPTT in Ischemic Heart Disease cases when compared to control group.

No association was found between ABO grouping and coagulation profile in ischemic heart disease in case and control group.
