Yeni Ateizmdeki İdeolojik Bilim Anlayışının Kelâmî Açıdan Kritiği
Authors: Akın Murat
Published: July 2024

Yüzyılımızın başlarında kökü itibariyle eski olmasına rağmen kullandık-ları argüman ve vurgular sebebiyle kendilerinden sıklıkla bahsedilen yeni bir ateist akım ortaya çıkmıştır. Yeni ateizmde klasik ateizmdeki maddenin eze-liliği, insanın evrimsel bir süreçle yaratılması ve kötülük olgusu yeniden formüle edilerek dile getirilmekle yetinilmeyip aynı zamanda bilim de buna payanda yapılarak suiistimal edilmektedir. İdeolojik bilim anlayışıyla yapı-lan faaliyetler ve buna bağlı olarak ileri sürülen argümanlar, birçok alan gibi inanç boyutunu da ilgilendirmektedir. Bu çalışmada son dönemlerde yeni ateizm vasıtasıyla farklı şekillerde kendini açığa çıkaran ideolojik bilimin anlam ve işlevi konu edinilerek kelâmî açıdan kritiği yapılmaya çalışılacak-tır. Özellikle yeni ateizmin, bilimi vasıta edinerek dine yönelik eleştirilerin-den itikadî alanla sınırlı kalınıp bu açıdan yapılan eleştirilerin tutarlı olup olunmadığı tartışılacaktır. Bu düzlemde çalışmada bilim ve akılla beraber dinin de evrensel ve objektif birtakım konularda belirleyici olabileceği üze-rinde durulacaktır. Din ile bilimin aynı ölçütlerle değerlendirilerek farklı ne-ticeler alınmasının, izlenen yöntem ve alanlarının farklılığı açısından doğru olmadığı temellendirilmeye çalışılacaktır. Ayrıca ideolojik bilim anlayışının hem bilime hem de inanca yansıyan olumsuz tesirlerine değinilecektir. So-nuç olarak bilimin, ideolojik yaklaşım olmaksızın ele alındığında dinin karşı-tı değil yeri geldiğinde ona epistemik destek sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. İşe bu düşüncenin gerçekleşmesinin önündeki en büyük engellerden biri olan yeni ateizmin bilime yüklediği ideolojik yaklaşım, çalışmamızın konu-sunu oluşturmaktadır.

The microcirculation system provides blood-tissue transcapillary exchange. Nervous and vascular elements of microcirculation finely respond to pathological changes in the organism, which allows use of visualization of these changes for differential diagnostics and prediction. However, morphological and functional properties of microcirculation influence drug delivery to an affected site. One of the most studied methods of non-invasive lifetime assessment of microcirculation is capillaroscopy of the proximal nailfold. In the beginning of the 21st century nailfold videocapillaroscopy patterns in systemic sclerosis patients were detected: the authors established early, active and late variants of nailfold capillary changes. Nailfold capillaroscopy allows determination of morphometric parameters of the capillary net and some dynamic parameters, including blood flow velocity in capillaries. The benefit of nailfold capillaroscopy is the maximal functionality of lifetime visualization of microvessels without skin damage. Capillaroscopy is widely used in many areas of medicine, however, it is scarcely used in phthisiopulmonology. Considering growing drug-resistant TB incidence, an increasing share of patients with comorbidities, and an extending range of adverse drug reactions, capillaroscopy should be widely implemented in clinical and diagnostic practice Nailfold capillaroscopy usually assesses quantitative and qualitative parameters. The quantitative parameters include the average capillary density and the width of a capillary branch. The qualitative parameters include alterations of the capillary architectonics, neoangiogenesis and the widened subpapillary plexus. The capillary net parameter values can vary and depend on ethnicity, demographic factors and methods involved. The capillary density directly depends on the age. Nailfold capillaroscopy is a clinical adaptive technology aimed to study microvascular disorders. The investigation of nailfold capillaroscopy possibilities for the prediction of disease course or adverse reactions to multicomponent chemotherapy, including in patients with comorbidities, is a promising area of phthisiology

Authors: Helvitia Bulu Sandra , Vidya Trias Novita Regina
Published: July 2024

Nurses often face high workloads and significant levels of stress due to the demands of complex work and high pressure. The academic supervision model is important because it can help nurses manage workload, improve skills and knowledge, and reduce stress levels. Effective supervision is expected to improve the quality of health services, job satisfaction, and have a positive impact on patients and the health system as a whole. This study aims to determine the influence of academic model supervision on the workload and stress of nurses in hospitals. This study uses a literature review method from research articles in the Scopus and Google Scholar databases published in 2014-2023 with the keywords "Supervision", "Academic Model", "Nurse Workload", and "Nurse Stress". Based on the analysis of 22 research articles, it was found that the supervision of the academic model had a positive impact on nurse performance, job satisfaction, work motivation, quality of nursing care, reduction of stress levels, and improvement of overall health service quality. Academic model supervision can help nurses improve skills and knowledge, improve services provided, develop professionalism, increase independence, improve nursing care, reduce workload, improve nurse performance, provide good emotional support, and continuous learning, and reduce the level of stress experienced by nurses. The implications of this research suggest that implementing academic model supervision in hospitals can lead to better nurse outcomes, including enhanced job satisfaction, reduced stress, and improved quality of care. Consequently, this can result in higher patient satisfaction and a more efficient and effective health care system overall.

For compression ignition engines, butanol is the most promising alternative fuel, in comparison with other alcoholic fuels. Butanol is superior to other alcoholic fuels because it has excellent physical and chemical properties that make it appropriate for diesel fuel blends. When butanol and diesel are blended, butanol is fully miscible in all proportions. Because butanol is hygroscopic, it does not absorb moisture from the environment. Because acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation may create butanol, it is commonly touted as a possible biofuel. This research is a significant step in gaining a thorough understanding of the effects of butanol on the fuel based on hydrocarbon. The fuel's molecular interactions mixes are studied using infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Binary mixes of butanol and n-decane, are investigated initially. After that, the mixture of butanol and diesel is investigated. When butanol is mixed with diesel, it forms strong bonds including the components of biodiesel that contain groups of esters. Furthermore, the possibility of employing Infrared spectroscopy for numerical mix analysis is assessed. The spectra are provided to enable a highly precise determination of the butanol concentration.

Authors: Ghaedrahmati Annahita , Mamouei Morteza , Zandi Mohammad
Published: July 2024

Background: Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is rich in nutrients, growth factors, hormones, and other essential compounds necessary for cell growth. However, its use has several disadvantages. Platelets in particular contain the majority of the potent mitogenic factors found in serum. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of platelet lysate (PL) on in vitro embryo production by replacing FBS, to determine if this modified Charles Rosenkrans medium (mCR2aa) can support ovine embryo development compared to the commercially available BO-IVC medium. Methods: In the first experiment, varying concentrations of FBS (0%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10%) and PL (0%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10%) were investigated in the mCR2aa culture medium. In the second experiment, the optimized mCR2aa medium was compared to the BO-IVC medium. Ovine oocytes were matured and fertilized in vitro using BO-IVM Bioscience medium and Brackett and Oliphant medium, respectively. Subsequently, the resulting zygotes were cultured in either mCR2aa medium supplemented with amino acids or BO-IVC medium, according to the experimental design, under a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2, 5% O2, and 90% N2 at 38.5ºC. Results: The results indicated that using 5% PL in the mCR2aa culture medium reduced the serum percentage to 2.5%. Conclusions: It was not possible to completely eliminate serum from the mCR2aa medium solely by substituting it with PL. Further studies are needed to explore other serum properties such as chelating agents and antioxidant activities to fully optimize the mCR2aa medium without serum.
Diagnostic Performance of the Monocyte/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) Ratio for Pediatric Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease in Children and Adolescents with Obesity
Authors: Ozer Yavuz , Bingol Aydın Dilek
Published: July 2024

Background: The escalating prevalence of childhood obesity has rendered pediatric metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) one of the foremost health concerns. Objectives: This investigation aims to examine the relationship between MAFLD and the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) in children and adolescents with obesity. Methods: In this retrospective study, we conducted a comparative analysis of MHR values for MAFLD and non-MAFLD cases in children and adolescents with obesity, aged 6 - 18, from 1 October, 2022 to 30 September 2023. To determine the prognostic value of MHR in relation to MAFLD, we implemented ROC analysis. Additionally, logistic regression analysis was utilized to examine the association between each variable and MAFLD. Results: A total of 211 children diagnosed with obesity (67 boys and 144 girls) were included in the study, comprising 121 MAFLD patients and 90 simple obesity controls. The monocyte/HDL-C ratio was significantly higher in the MAFLD group compared to the simple obesity group (0.56 ± 0.19 vs. 0.46 ± 0.14, P < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between MHR and fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, TG/HDL-C, TyG, triglyceride levels, and the grade of hepatosteatosis (P = 0.011, r = 0.184; P = 0.029, r = 0.159; P < 0.001, r = 0.374; P = 0.005, r = 0.203; P < 0.001, r = 0.257; P < 0.001, r = 0.272, respectively). The ROC curve analysis revealed that the cut-off value for MHR to predict MAFLD was 0.43 (× 109/mmol), with a sensitivity of 75.45% and a specificity of 46.34%. The area under the curve for MHR in distinguishing children with MAFLD from those without was 0.656 (P = 0.002). Logistic regression analysis indicated that male gender (OR: 3.825; P = 0.001), high ALT (OR: 1.035; P = 0.025), and high MHR (OR: 16.166; P = 0.025) had significant positive associations with the presence of MAFLD. Conclusions: We established a correlation between MHR and MAFLD in children and adolescents with obesity. High MHR was significantly related to the risk of MAFLD. The monocyte/HDL-C ratio, a noninvasive marker, may be used as an inflammatory biomarker in predicting MAFLD.

Published: July 2024

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths with high mortality rates worldwide. Accessible screening methods have facilitated its early diagnosis. In Iran, as in many Asian countries, an important barrier to CRC screening is the insufficient knowledge of healthcare providers, including physicians, and the lack of advice from them. Available data on this subject are insufficient, and more surveys are needed in this country. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate Iranian physicians' knowledge about CRC signs and symptoms, risk factors, and screening. Additionally, the association between their knowledge and their characteristics was assessed to provide more data for further interventions. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 family physicians selected by convenience sampling from rural areas in Hamadan province, Iran, from June to September 2017. A self-administered, semi-structured questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21, with a significance level set at P < 0.05. Results: The mean total knowledge score about CRC was 25.11 ± 4.64 (64.3%) out of 38 questions. The average scores for knowledge about CRC signs and symptoms, risk factors, and the screening program were 7.1 ± 0.81 (out of 8), 10.29 ± 1.83 (out of 13), and 7.77 ± 3.43 (out of 18), respectively. Family physicians had the highest accuracy in answering questions about CRC signs and symptoms (88.7%) and the lowest accuracy in answering questions about the screening program (43%). Since the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test rejected the normal distribution of the data, nonparametric tests were used to compare physicians' knowledge scores according to different variables. The study revealed a statistically significant reverse correlation between physicians’ knowledge of CRC and their age (r = -0.342, P < 0.001), years since graduation (r = -0.228, P = 0.005), and work experience (r = -0.247, P = 0.002). However, after multiple regression analysis, only higher age significantly predicted lower total knowledge scores (P = 0.002). No significant relationship was found between participants' knowledge scores and their gender (P = 0.929) or place of employment (P = 0.399). Conclusions: Family doctors had insufficient knowledge regarding CRC screening programs. To address this issue, health education programs should be designed to enhance their knowledge of CRC screening guidelines.

Abstract. Tea bags are a type of tea plant that is dried and packaged in one packet to make it easier to process into a drink. In its development, the types of packaging used to package tea have developed widely in society. The aim of this research was to identify the antioxidants present in bottle cap type tea bags. The approach used in this research is quantitative data with the DPPH test. The samples used in this research were with concentrations of 10 μg/mL, 20 μg/mL, 40 μg/mL, 80 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL. Based on the identification results, it was found that antioxidants showed an IC50 value of less than 50, namely a value of 49.33434. This shows that the antioxidants contained in packaged tea bags have strong antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are compounds that are found in almost all food groups which aim to slow down the oxidation process of molecules due to exposure or free radicals. The conclusion in this research is that bottle cap tea bags are drinks that have a positive effect on health but are adjusted to a person's body condition and health.

Asa Cerra is positioning itself to meet the growing global demand for health-conscious and sustainable products. Its flagship offering, "Nata De Whey," is a probiotic-rich beverage crafted from whey waste from mozzarella cheese. This product not only aims to enhance health but also to support environmental sustainability. Despite favorable initial feedback, a comprehensive financial feasibility study had yet to be conducted to ensure long-term viability. This research addresses this gap by evaluating Asa Cerra's financial feasibility using a combination of primary data from the company and secondary data from similar industry players. The study employs key financial metrics, including Payback Period, Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). It integrates scenario analysis to capture a range of potential outcomes: most likely, pessimistic and optimistic. The analysis reveals a promising financial outlook for Asa Cerra, with a payback period of 2.4 years, an NPV of Rp465,551,298, and an IRR of 38.29%, significantly exceeding the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of 9.00%. These results suggest that Asa Cerra is financially sound and has the potential for sustainable growth. The comprehensive financial assessment supports Asa Cerra's strategic planning efforts and highlights its readiness for long-term success in the market.
Introducing (Zen) Buddhist Philosophy with Abbess Mugai Nyodai
Authors: Mattice Sarah A. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2024

This essay explores the enlightenment story of Abbess Mugai Nyodai (無外如大, 1223–1298), one of the most famous and influential Zen Masters of her time, as a recommendation for a piece to use for introducing students to (Zen) Buddhist philosophy. Because this is a story that features women, as both students and teachers, a story that was intended for pedagogical purposes with a wide-ranging lay audience, and because it is densely packed with rich philosophical material yet at the same time short and easily readable, I argue that it ought to be considered for use in Introduction to Philosophy or Introduction to Asian Philosophy courses, providing a variety of examples of how one might work through the text with students.
Cross-Cultural Logic and the Limits of Comparative Pedagogy
Authors: Creller Aaron B. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2024

There is a tension between the pedagogical aim of comparative and cross-cultural inclusion and teaching an introductory-level deductive logic course. On the one hand, those who are interested in including non-“Western” sources are doing so in order to expand the philosophical content under consideration in their courses. On the other, it seems that the student learning objectives for deductive logic classes aimed at novices are narrow and specific for the purpose of developing a particular skill. This paper highlights the challenge of teaching logic cross-culturally by arguing that it is inadvisable to do so. Using Jain logic as a case study, it illustrates that even though there is depth available in the content, the contextual support needed to compare logics without being reductive would interfere with the amount of time needed to develop deductive logic skills in students in the first place.
Stress Management in School Teacher: Implications for Da'wah
Authors: Isa Yakubu
Published: July 2024

Stress is an uneasy situation challenging the academic staff worldwide. However, many of the school teachers are unable to properly manage the temptations and effects of stress. It is notable that millions of school teachers are suffering from stress, huge money is being spent for caring for stress patients from the academic cycle all in the name of stress. Albeit, stress occur due to external (home or society based factors), internal (school) factors such as classroom disruption, poor infrastructure (teaching aids), poor personality of teachers or students, poor working conditions, etc. Teachers should be provided with adequate support and conducive teaching environment. Teachers shall improvise ways to curtail stress by engaging in prayers, leave, sabbatical, capacity building, healthy eating, physical activities, etc. More importantly, the role of religious interventions could be overstated in tackling stress. Religious communication can use prayers (in all its forms), reading the Qur’an, empowerment, and other religious da’wah methods to surmount stress.

Poliherbal bileşimin metformin grubuna kıyasla artış eğilimi yüksek olarak değerlendirildi. Süperoksit dismutaz, katalaz ve nonenzimatik antioksidan glutatyon, kontrol ve STZ grubu karşılaştırıldığında STZ’de azalma, tedavi gruplarında STZ’ye kıyasla artış görüldü. Poliherbal bileşimin metformin grubuna kıyasla artış eğilimi yüksek saptandı. Malondialdehit, kontrol ve STZ ile karşılaştırıldığında STZ grubunda artış saptandı. Metformin ile STZ grubu arasında değişme görülmedi ancak poliherbal gruplarda STZ’ye kıyasla azalma eğilimi görüldü.
Hematolojik veriler, kemik iliği ve antioksidan değerlerin poliherbal fomülasyonlar ile değişim gösterdiği saptandı. Sonuçlar, metformin ile kıyaslandığında poliherbal bileşiklerin iyileşme potansiyeli olabileceğini göstermektedir.
Comparison of Ushul Al-Hukm With Western Legal Theory
Authors: Latif Muhammad Sabri , Hanafi Yusuf , Hadi Rizal , Zulhelmi Zulhelmi , Ilyas Ahmad Ghufran
Published: July 2024

This article is the result of a review of the book "Al-Islam Wa Ushul Al-Hukm" by 'Ali Abd al-Raziq, which offers an in-depth analysis of the relationship between politics and religion, especially regarding the concept of the caliphate in Islam. 'Ali Abd al-Raziq argues that the caliphate is not mandatory in Islam and that Islamic law can be interpreted flexibly according to the context of time and place, without being tied to the traditional caliphate system. This book highlights al-Raziq's view that the Prophet Muhammad was more of a spiritual leader than a head of state in the modern sense, so that Muslims were free to choose a form of government that suited their social and political needs, including a model that separated religion from state affairs. This view approaches the principle of secularism in Western legal theory, which advocates a separation between religious and state institutions. Although al-Raziq's views were controversial, especially among traditional ulama, he opened a new discourse about flexibility in the application of Islamic principles in modern governance. The book emphasizes that the primary goals of government are social justice and the welfare of the people, values ??that are in line with Western legal theory. This view shows that although the methods and sources of law are different, these two approaches both try to achieve a just and prosperous society.

Fatherlessness is a condition where a father does not play a significant role in the upbringing of his child. The impact of fatherlessness can be very significant even when a person who experiences it reaches middle age, also known as midlife crisis. This study aims to reveal how midlife crisis can be said to be a long-term psychological effect of fatherlessness. As well as looking from the perspective of fikih hadhanah about the fatherless phenomenon. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, with a sample of two cases of middle-aged adults, with a fatherless background in Temanggung Regency. As for the data collection method, the author uses interviews, observations and literature reviews. The results of this study indicate that there is a correlation between midlife crisis and the fatherless phenomenon. A person with a fatherless experience in the past can cause a person to experience midlife crisis, but this does not mean that fatherless is the only cause of midlife crisis because there are several other factors that influence it. This research is expected to add scientific contributions in the field of Islamic family law and also family psychology.
