SAIFUDDIN ZUHRI'S DAKWAH LEADERSHIP VALUES (Historical Analysis)
Authors: Enung Asmaya  , Muridan
Published: December 2023

A leader is someone who can influence the thoughts, feelings and behavior of others, both individually and in groups with a view to achieving certain goals. The leader becomes a symbol of strength in achieving the goals of the community he leads. It is the leader who determines the direction of the life of the people he leads. The leadership crisis in Indonesia has become a phenomenal one. There is a side of people's life that contains problems and difficulties in fulfilling the needs of life. The problem of the crisis of trust in the leaders of the nation, the result of a mirror of behavior that is not commendable. In the midst of the struggles of modern society that dissolves with freedom and is free from religious control, the role of Islamic leadership and da'wah is increasingly needed and has a strategic position.

This research is a literature research that uses a qualitative approach. The analysis used is historical analysis. In historical analysis, the data processing process is carried out in three stages, namely source collection (heuristics), source criticism and hysterography (historical writing). To strengthen the historical analysis, Paul Recaour's hermeneutic analysis model is also used. In historical analysis there are three things to consider, namely interpretation, explanation and exposition. All three were carried out together during the study. In carrying out this interpretation, Paul Recaur's hermeneutic analysis model is used which includes 3 things, namely exploring the meaning of the text contained in the expression or what is said, connecting the meaning of the text with reality; and connecting one text to another (intertextuality).

From the results of the study it was found that Saifuddin Zuhri's leadership in da'wah was found in three aspects, namely leadership as a cleric and a fighter, as a politician and as a state official. As a scholar and fighter, he has consistency in the struggle for da'wah amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, is critical of the government and is passionate about upholding truth, honesty and justice. As a politician, he has the ability to compromise with groups with different political ideologies, be open, honest and use politics as a tool to fight for the aspirations of the people. As a state official, he makes his position a mandate and is played as a service to the state and nation.

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of T. vaginalis, the social, demographic and clinical features that affect it, and to compare the sensitivity of diagnostic methods.

Material and Method: The study was conducted on 150 female patients aged 18–65. Samples were taken from the posterior vaginal fornix during the pelvic examination, and the parasite was searched by direct microscopic examination, Giemsa staining, cysteine-peptone-liver-maltose, and Trichomonas Broth culture methods.

Results: T. vaginalis was detected in 25 (16.6%) patients. While the best sensitivity was found in the TB culture, the lowest sensitivity was found in DM. The highest positivities were found in the age group of 36–50 (26.1%) and in uneducated women (26.5%). The risk of T. vaginalis increased 3.21 times in people who wore white cotton underwear. The majority of positive cases had aqueous or purulent discharge, and 22.2% of the patients had complaints of discharge and itching.

Conclusion: Trichomoniasis is still an important public health problem. By using different diagnostic methods together, it will be possible to prevent cases that cannot be detected with a single method from being missed
Investigation of the Effects of Three Different Generations of Fluoroquinolone Derivatives on Erythrocyte Fragility and Hematological Parameters in Rats
Authors: DONMEZ Fatih , DOĞAN Abdulahad
Published: December 2023

Objektive: Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are synthetic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents derived from nalidixic acid. They are used in the treatment of urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin infections, digestive system infections, genital infections and other bacterial infections. Although the relationship between FQs and oxidative stress has been demonstrated, their effects on erythrocyte fragility have not been adequately studied. In this study, the effects of three different FQ derivatives (ciprofloxacin (CIP), levofloxacin (LVX) and moxifloxacin (MXF)) on erythrocyte fragility and hematological parameters were investigated in rats at the end of the 1st, 7th and 14th day treatments.

Material and Method: 72 Wistar albino male rats were divided into 4 groups with 18 rats in each group and sacrificed at three different time points (1st, 7th and 14th days).

Results: A significant increase in 0.2% sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration erythrocyte fragility value was found in the MXF group on 1st day compared to the control group on 1st day. While the FQ derivatives used in the study did not cause a general change on the erythrocyte and leukocyte parameters, they caused various fluctuations on the platelet parameters such as PCT, PLCR, PDW, MPW and PLT.

Conclusion: As a further study, it would be beneficial to reveal the reasons for these effects on platelet parameters with more detailed studies.

Slicing-guided Skeleton Extraction Method for 3D Point Clouds of Human Body
Authors: Yan-Ni Zhao Yan-Ni Zhao , Yan-Ni Zhao Le Xu
Published: December 2023

In the paper, a slicing-guided method is introduced to extract the curve skeleton from the point cloud body model. Firstly, the dominant eigenvector of body model as slicing direction is chosen adaptively, and the input body model is sliced accordingly. each slice is projected and classified into different regions, and the centroid of each region can be considered as initial skeleton point. Then, those skeleton points are removed outside models, and initial skeleton lines are generated by connecting points based on different region of body model. Finally, the two-step post-processing approach is proposed to improve the initial skeleton results for accurate topological analysis. With the branch point merging strategy, the initial skeleton of the model is optimized. Furthermore, the skeleton lines by interpolation optimization are refined and smoothed. Compared with similar skeleton extraction algorithms, the method proposed in the paper has relatively strong robustness and effectiveness, and can be applied to human body model in point cloud data.

Published: December 2023

Yapay zekâ okuryazarlığı kavramı günümüzde yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin gelişmesine ve her sektörde kullanımının yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte daha da önemli hale gelmiştir. Bireylerin yapay zekâ okuryazarlığı durum ve düzeylerini belirlemek için uluslararası literatürde çeşitli ölçme araçlarının kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Ancak ulusal literatürde bu amaçla geliştirilmiş bir ölçme aracının olmadığı görülmüştür. Bu araştırma, Laupichler ve arkadaşları (2023) tarafından geliştirilen "Yapay Zekâ Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği"nin Türk kültürüne uyarlaması, ölçeğin geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizlerinin gerçekleştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ölçek, ‘teknik anlama (technical understanding)’, ‘eleştirel değerlendirme (critical appraisal)’, ‘pratik uygulama (practical application)’ olmak üzere üç boyuttan ve 31 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Ölçek uyarlama çalışması lise ve üstü eğitim düzeyine sahip 653 genç ve yetişkinden elde edilen veriler ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapay Zekâ Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği'nin üç faktör ve 31 madde içeren yapısının, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına dayanarak, gerçek verilerle uyumlu olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, ölçeğin güvenilirliği ve madde ayırt ediciliği yüksek olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Ölçeğin Türkçe versiyonu için hesaplanan Cronbach α katsayıları, farklı alt faktörler için .97 ile .98 arasında değişmekte olup, ölçeğin geneli için .99 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu bulgular ışığında, Yapay Zekâ Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği'nin bu ölçüm aracının, bireylerin yapay zekâ okuryazarlık düzeylerini değerlendirmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir seçenek olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma ile, Türkiye’de yapay zekâ okuryazarlığının değerlendirilmesine önemli bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmekte olup, bu uyarlama çalışması ile bireylerin yapay zekâ konusundaki okuryazarlık seviyelerinin daha iyi anlaşılması ve gelecekteki araştırmalara temel oluşturulması hedeflenmektedir.

Published: December 2023

RESUMEN. La península de Yucatán es la región productora de miel de abeja más importante de México y es considerada la segunda fuente de ingresos después de la agricultura para el estado. En la zona Maya de Quintana Roo, los apicultores tienen un problema común de depredación de abejas (A. mellifera L., Hymenoptera, Apidae) por hormigas, esto les provoca pérdidas de colmenas y sus subproductos. El objetivo fue identificar las especies de hormigas que depredan a las abejas A. mellifera en apiarios de Kancabchén, Quintana Roo. Para ello se recolectaron hormigas depredadoras en tres apiarios, por medio de trampas y captura manual en temporada de sequía y lluvia (2017), éstas fueron identificadas con claves taxonómicas. Se reporta por vez primera la presencia de cinco especies de hormigas depredadoras en los apiarios: Eciton burchellii (Westwood, 1842), E. mexicanum Roger, 1863, E. vagans (Olivier, 1792), Labidus praedator (Smith, 1858) y Nomamyrmex hartigi (Westwood, 1842). Todas esas especies no establecen nidos permanentes ni atacan a una hora específica, por ello, los apicultores no siempre coinciden de estar presentes al momento del ataque y si coinciden, el único control tradicional es quemar las hormigas con todo y colmena. Las cinco especies de hormigas responsables de la depredación de las abejas son todas hormigas marabuntas que tienen hábitos nómadas o seminómadas, lo que hace difícil establecer un manejo tradicional efectivo por los apicultores Mayas en la zona de Quintana Roo.
Influence of the ratio of nozzle inlet to nozzle throat areas on the performance of a jet pump for vacuum applications using computational fluid dynamics
Authors: Palacio Jose Alfredo , Patino Ivan , Orozco William
Published: December 2023

The nozzle design is one of the most important issues because it determines the pressure range and the other dimensions to guarantee an adequate performance of a jet_pump. An incorrect design of this part can cause shock waves and unnecessary overexpansion of the power fluid. The nozzle’s main purpose is to allow the high-pressure, low-velocity primary fluid to be accelerated in such a way as to substantially decrease the fluid pressure while increasing its velocity. This is achieved because the subsonic flow accelerates when entering the convergent part of the nozzle, obtaining a sonic or supersonic flow at the nozzle throat that accelerates even more when entering the divergent part of the nozzle. Therefore, to achieve the highest possible nozzle discharge velocity, the nozzle must be able to change the flow conditions from subsonic to supersonic. Considering the high importance of the nozzle design in the jet_pump performance, five cases are simulated in the present work, where the ratio of nozzle inlet to nozzle throat areas is modified (10,15,20,25 y 30), to study the behavior of three performance parameters, namely, drag coefficient (Cd), pressure ratio (PR) and Energy Efficiency (η), as well as the Mach number (Ma) and velocity fields.

Authors: Jafor Md. Abu , Wadud Md. Anwar Hussen , Nur Kamruddin , Rahman Mohammad Motiur
Published: December 2023

Employee promotion is an important aspect of the human resource management process. Due to different factors, it refers to the automatic improvement among the employees in an organization. Promoting employees from the lower level to the higher level brings a feeling of satisfaction among the employees. It improves their job satisfaction and motivation by providing more significant income, status, and responsibilities. By building up loyalty, promotion reduces employee attrition. Thus, it is difficult to accurately decide, whether an employee should or should not be promoted based on their current and past performance. So, human resource management does research about promotion, because there are a limited number of research about the finding of employee promotion prediction in the existing studies. First, to find the reasons for employee promotion, we need to analyze the research study for finding the factors which are related to the promotion. The aim of this research study is to implement an employee promotion prediction framework using machine learning. A modified AdaBoost classifier is used for automatic promotion prediction, and six machine learning techniques for instance, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost (XGB), and AdaBoost are applied in performance comparison. Through a complex assessment process, the performance of these supervised machine learning algorithms for predicting employee advancement is analyzed using assessment metrics on the employees' evaluation dataset for promotion prediction. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and AdaBoost model provide better results on this dataset than all traditional machine learning techniques. Finally, Our proposed modified AdaBoost approach outperformed all other methods evaluated with an accuracy of 95.30%.

Diabetes is a disease characterized by high blood glucose levels which can stimulate the growth of the Candida albicans. Indonesia is the second highest country in the world with biodiversity which allows the creation of new compounds that can be used as medicine. One type of plant that has medicinal properties is kedondong leaves (Spondias dulcis) which can be used as herbal medicine, and can also act as an anti-fungal, because it has anti-fungal substances such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and tannins. This compound can prevent fungal growth. The aim of this research was to determine the inhibitory ability of kedondong (Spondias dulcis) leaf extract in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans using the Kirby Bauer method. The type of research used in this research is laboratory experiments. The results of the inhibition test in this study were the concentration inhibition zone results of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, the results were 0 mm, indicating that these 4 concentrations could not inhibit the growth of Candida albicans. Meanwhile, the positive control showed that there was a clear zone with an average of 28.8 mm, which indicated that antibiotics inhibited the growth of Candida albicans, while the negative control showed that no clear zone was formed. Therefore, the results of this study can be concluded that squeezed kedondong (Spondias dulcis) leaf extract cannot inhibit the growth of Candida albicans isolated from diabetes mellitus sufferers

Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a Gestão Democrática da Educação (GDE) em diálogo com a dimensão normativo-legal e com o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE), a partir da compreensão da democracia como um processo permanente de construção coletiva, que não se sustenta somente no plano formal, mas depende de ações e vivências democráticas no âmbito da escola, dos sistemas de ensino e da sociedade como um todo. Para alcançar os objetivos, foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados do monitoramento da Meta 19 e da regulamentação da GDE pelos sistemas de ensino denotam que, mesmo transcorridas mais de três décadas da Constituição de 1988, quase a metade dos entes federados ainda permanecem sem editar normas específicas, na amplitude desejável para viabilizar a gestão democrática da educação.

Nanocellulose as Novel Vaccine Adjuvant: Innate Immune Activation and Biocompatibility
Authors: Wang Lingzhen
Published: December 2023

Aluminum remains the most widely accepted adjuvant to enhance the immunogenicity of vaccines. However, the clinical use of Aluminum is limited by its neurotoxicity and risk of immunoglobulin E production. Thus, alternative adjuvants with equivalent capability but higher biocompatibility are urgently needed. Among them, nanocellulose is a promising candidate for this purpose. In spite of their biodegradability, their physicochemical properties, including fibrillar nature, crystalline phase, and surface reactivity, affect their activation kinetics, and the relationship remains mostly unknown. Hence, I established a small library of nanocellulose materials using acid hydrolysis to obtain three CNCs with different sizes, aiming to investigate how the size of nanocellulose influences their biocompatibility and immunogenicity. I evaluated their proinflammatory effect on THP-1 cells, a monocyte cell line isolated from the peripheral blood of an acute monocytic leukemia patient, and J774, a murine macrophage cell. Then, I tested their cytotoxicity to both cells and compared their differential effects in IL-1β production. Finally, I correlated their proinflammatory adjuvant effects with their length. In conclusion, I found the production of IL-1β is CNC length-dependent but in a nonlinear relationship. By testing cell viability after stimulation with adjuvants, I found CNCs are a more biocompatible adjuvant than Alum, and the cytotoxicity of CNCs is also size-dependent. This study provides a preliminary demonstration of the optimal length range and crystallinity of CNCs that could induce the most adjuvant effects without posing cytotoxicity.

Application of Corynebacterium glutamicum in L- threonine biosynthesis
Authors: Liu Jianhang , Zhu Deqiang
Published: December 2023

L-threonine is an essential amino acid for human and animal nutrition. L-threonine is the second limiting amino acid in pig feed and the third limiting amino acid in poultry feed, primarily used as a feed additive. Currently, industrial production of L-threonine is achieved through fermentation using Escherichia coli. Corynebacterium glutamicum, a bacterium commonly used as an industrial production chassis for amino acids such as glutamic acid and L-lysine, possesses advantages such as biosafety and strong environmental adaptability. It is considered a potential strain for the efficient production of L-threonine. However, current production of L-threonine by C. glutamicum often leads to the accumulation of significant amounts of other amino acid by-products, limiting the level of L-threonine production. Previous studies that aimed to block or weaken the pathways for by-product synthesis resulted in strains with nutritional deficiencies or only partial reduction in by-product accumulation.
