Markers of Oxidative Stress Evaluation in People Living with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Authors: Batta Anil
Published: March 2024

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common infectious diseases globally. This study was done to assess the levels of vitamins C and E, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and lipid peroxidation product (malondialdehyde) in pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Muzaffarnagar Medical College & Hospital, Muzaffarnagar (MMC). A total of 90 individuals (males and females), comprising 30 newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients yet to commence therapy. Thirty old cases on therapy and a control group consisting of 30 healthy individuals of the same age range (35-55 years). The levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase in pulmonary tuberculosis were determined using the standard method. The results showed that the levels of Vitamin C (1.64±0.41 mg/dl), Vitamin E (1.46±0.38 mg/dl), glutathione peroxidize (0.89±0.07 iu/L), catalase (70.49±2.02 iu/L) and superoxide dismutase (65.45±3.48 iu/L) in pulmonary tuberculosis were significantly decreased when compared with controls ( 1.91±0.42 mg/dl, 0.84±0.31 mg/ldl, 72.60±2.58 iu/L, 0.94±0.06 iu/L, 68.65±2.83 iu/L) respectively (p<0.05). While the level of malondialdehyde (8.7±1.81 mol/ml) was significantly increased (p<0.05) in pulmonary tuberculosis when compared with control (4.91±1.90 mol/ml). However, the levels of antioxidants were increased in pulmonary tuberculosis on antituberculosis drugs when compared with those not on therapy. These probably indicate that antioxidant status is significantly reduced in pulmonary tuberculosis patients which may be associated with high levels of free radicals and oxidative stress. Hence, supplementation of pulmonary tuberculosis patients with diet or drugs containing antioxidants can improve their condition.

Narativi o ratu i vrijednosni sudovi: Bošnjaci u vrtlogu iskušenja 1941.

Jugoslavenska politička emi-gracija nakon 1945. strukturno se može podijeliti na “ratnu” i “poratnu”, a u ideološkom smislu na “nacionalističku”, “komunističku” i “demokratsku”. Istraživanje ovog složenog političko-sociološkog fenomena, osvjetljavanje šireg konteksta, pozadine niza pratećih pojava i događaja, te dočaravanje duha vremena otvara brojna pitanja vezana za heterogenost emigracije, oblike njenog organiziranja i djelovanja, međusobne odnose, različite političke vizije, kritičko stajalište prema Jugoslaviji, kao i za stav te države prema njoj. Malobrojnoj demokratskoj emigraciji pripadao je Adil Zulfikarpašić, “emigrant među emigrantima”, čije je društveno i političko angažiranje, zbog raznih povoda i perspektiva, bilo u pozornosti različitih emigrantskih krugova, ali i jugoslavenskih sigurnosnih službi, predmet različitih ocjena i pokušaja diskreditacije. Ideja sporazumijevanja, poštovanja i približavanja različitosti, promatrana u višedimenzionalnim perspektivama, bila je osnova njegovog političkog angažiranja i ponašanja. Njegov rad također je obilježen idejama bošnjaštva i liberalne demokratije. Zulfikarpašić je isticao da pripada ljudima koji “imaju potrebu da svojim osobnim angažiranjem doprinesu procesu samorealizacije vlastitog naroda”. Svaki bolji historiografski rad o bilo kojoj historijskoj ličnosti, navode historičari, “udubljivanjem u složeni splet okolnosti u kojima je živela i radila” teži da “preraste u priču o ljudima, vremenima, idejama, procesima, problemima, događajima”. Značajne historijske ličnosti sažimaju epohu.
Muslimanske rezolucije 1941. i konstituisanje državnosti Bosne i Hercegovine u federativnoj Jugoslaviji
Authors: Bešlin Milivoj
Published: March 2024

Nakon okupacije Jugoslavije, tokom 1941. u nizu bosanskohercegovač­kih gradova objavljene su rezolucije i pro­glasi muslimanskih prvaka, predstavnika društvene, političke i verske elite, kasnije jednim imenom nazvane – muslimanske rezolucije. Svedočile su o širokom frontu neslaganja bosanskohercegovačkih Mus­limana s novouspostavljenim režimom kvislinške NDH, koji je bio obeležen ne­uporedivom represijom i masovnim zloči­nima prema Jevrejima, Srbima, Romima i svima onima koji su percipirani kao rasna, nacionalna, verska ili politička drugost. Na eksploziju nasilja i zločina, kao i pokušaj da se upravo muslimansko stanovništvo, kao znatno brojnije od katoličkog, predstavi kao ključni izvršilac zločina, musliman­ske bosanskohercegovačke elite odgovaraju nepristajanjem i javnim manifestovanjem neslaganja i otpora ustaškom režimu. Ova­kav pristup dao je povoda Narodnooslobo­dilačkom partizanskom pokretu da u svoje koncepcije sve jasnije i odlučnije uključuje Muslimane, računajući s njima kao neza­obilaznim faktorom na središnjem jugoslo­venskom ratištu od 1942. godine. Time je postavljen osnov za ravnopravno tretiranje Bosne i Hercegovine u novoj federalističkoj koncepciji antifašističkog pokreta. U dru­gom delu rada daje se pregled izgradnje novih osnova federativnog uređenja tokom antifašističke borbe i socijalističke revolu­cije, koju je predvodio partizanski pokret uz dominantnu ulogu KPJ. Posebna pažnja posvećena je državnoutemeljiteljskom za­sedanju AVNOJ­a u Jajcu 1943. godine, na kojem je usvojen nacionalnoemancipator­ski koncept države u izgradnji – šest nacija i njihovih federalnih država kao konsti­tuensi federativne Jugoslavije. Unutar nje utvrđena je državnost i nedeljivost Bosne i Hercegovine kao istorijski državotvorne i etno­konfesionalno specifične jedinice. U navedenim okvirima utemeljena je i ravnopravnost tri bosanskohercegovačka naroda – Muslimana, Srba i Hrvata. Te­melji takvih odluka bili su proglasi nepri­stajanja i tendencija suživota iskazana u muslimanskim rezolucijama.

Published: March 2024

A study was conducted to examine the soil physicochemical properties and nutrients status in parklands of northern Nigeria. Soil samples were collected using soil auger close to mature trees, tree saplings and seedlings from three states (viz. Bauchi, Jigawa and Kano) in different depths (0–15 cm, and 16–30 cm) and analyzed for soil physical and chemical properties. Soil pH was weakly acidic (5.7–6.0) and not significant (P<0.05). Total Nitrogen, CEC, and Ca all showed no significant difference and decreased with increase in depth. Sand, silt, clay and Mg were statistically different (p<0.05) and decreased with increase in depth. Pearson's correlation matrix revealed significant positive correlations of soil properties with fertility indices. The soils in the agricultural parklands of the states are fairly low in fertility. Mass sensitization and awareness of farmers on best practices that will help improve the soil fertility and nutrients status in the parkland and improve farmers’ livelihood are highly recommended. Further evaluations of soil factors are needed to be carried out that will lead to data availability and help in critical evaluation of soil dynamics as well as give an insight to how the fertility and productivity of the soils support and improve biodiversity stability.

Authors: Sandra Chinecherem Didiugwu
Published: March 2024

This study examined the impact of human capital development on poverty reduction in Nigeria covering the period 1981-20222. Data for the research were annual times series data on total education expenditures, total health expenditures, and inflation extracted from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin 2020 and poverty rate, out-of-pocket expenditures, and human development index collected from World Development indicators. The methodology adopted in the study is linear regression with the application of the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) technique. Other diagnostic tests which include unit-root test, autocorrelation, and normality test were carried out in the study. The major findings of the study were that total education expenditures (TOEDXP) have a positive and insignificant contribution to poverty reduction in Nigeria, total health expenditures (TOHEXP) have a positive and insignificant contribution to poverty reduction in Nigeria, and out-of-pocket expenditures (OOPE) have a positive and insignificant contribution to poverty reduction in Nigeria. It is therefore the recommendation of the study that the government should also increase its expenditure on health and education. It is a fact that health is wealth and therefore, there is a need to provide a good environment, health facilities, an increased rate of doctor to patient ratio, health workers motivation and increased remuneration amongst others and also government should increase its expenditure on education as this would improve the standard of living of the citizens.

Authors:   Indian Institute of Technology Patna, Bihar, India, Maulana Andri , Singh Smriti ,   Indian Institute of Technology Patna, Bihar, India.
Published: March 2024

The study explores current independent learning and how it has evolved in Indonesian English teaching practice. Considering students' versatility in choosing their method of study, autonomous learning may prove to be a promising technique in the practice of teaching English. Learners' motivational tendencies were influenced by a variety of factors, including extrinsic and intrinsic factors. A mixed method was employed in this study. A five-Likert scale questionnaire was distributed to obtain the perspectives of university students and English lecturers in Indonesia concerning the matter of learner autonomy. A group interview with English teachers elicited the perspective on learner autonomy. The result illustrated that most students believed that independent learning would help them become more autonomous, responsible, and aware of what they need to study English. Their motivation to learn English, whether internally or externally, was also increased by autonomous learning. English teachers in Indonesia were positive about fostering independent learners in the EFL classroom, and they believed autonomous learning benefited students making them more confident, active, critical, self-aware, and supportive of the teaching and learning process. Teachers were crucial in directing, monitoring, evaluating, and providing feedback. Several problems must be overcome from actual teaching practices, such as students’ and instructor readiness, variation in students’ knowledge backgrounds, cultural backgrounds, and various student personalities

Authors:   Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology, Lee Armand , Alieto Ericson ,   Western Mindanao State University
Published: March 2024

The study focused on the Philippines' education system, which abruptly adopted to online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used different theories to explore the relationships between online teaching self-efficacy and other affective variables. The researchers used structural equation modeling (SEM) to develop a model that showed the correlations among the identified variables in general and when grouped according to gender. The study found that only three pairs of latent variables were positively correlated at an average extent, indicating a low correlation between the variables. The findings drawn out from the final model can certainly benefit teacher-educators and institutional leaders alike who would most probably explore the idea of introducing the online modality as a supplementary requirement for the preservice teachers’ internship in the near future. Thus, institutions that offer education programs must find ways and means to motivate preservice teachers to online teaching as there are revealed to be the rudiments, based on the final model to a positive attitude and a favorable satisfaction level toward online language teaching.
Topological Invariants of Hexagonal Cage Network by Using Algebraic Polynomials
Authors: Hasan Mahmood Muhammad Abdullah,
Published: March 2024

In this article, we go beyond earlier limits in the analysis by using algebraic polynomials to compute the topological indices for hexagonal cage networks. We investigate hexagonal cage networks of different orders and copies by introducing M-Polynomials and Forgotten polynomials, and we derive novel closed formulae and conclusions for a broad range of topological indices. We also create an efficient technique to compute , a pivotal polynomial, as part of our work. In addition to computing, we apply algebraic polynomials to the analysis of these indices, providing more insights into their structural significance in hexagonal cage networks. This work illuminates the algebraic underpinnings of these intricate networks and broadens the scope of topological index computation, with implications for a variety of scientific domains. These polynomials allow us to calculate several features of the network, such as the first and second Zagreb, modified Zagreb, General Randić, inverse General Randić, harmonic, symmetric division, inverse sum, and so on. There are now new closed formulae and outcomes available. Additionally, we offer a technique for calculating the polynomial . We also use algebraic polynomials to analyses all of the aforementioned indices.
Rates of cylindrical and spherical copper anodes dissolving into concentrated NaCl water solution calculation during electrolysis and temperature increasing
Authors: Yarmolenko Mykhaylo Viktorovych
Published: March 2024

Our experimental investigations show that rate of copper anodes degradation decreases during electrolysis in concentrated NaCl solution in water (5 mol/kg or 23 %, freezing point equals −22°C, pH 6.5–7.5) at electric current density about 3000 A/m2 (or 30 A/dm2 = 3 mA/mm2) with temperature increasing from room temperature to 100 °C. Electric current value also increases with temperature increasing. Really, such result is unexpected. General quantity of the H+ and Cl− ions decreases during electrolysis at all temperatures since the H2 and Cl2 gases are formed near electrodes. General quantity of the Cu+ and Cu2+ ions decreases with temperature increasing too. We guess that one reason only should be for electric current value increasing: average charge of copper ions increases from +1 at room temperature to +1.5 at 100 °C and to +2 at 180°C. Corresponding mathematical model is proposed for the analysis. Literature experimental data are used too.
FDI Inflows and Economic Growth: A Novel Application of Dose-Response Functions
Authors: Cusimano Alessandro , Donegani Chiara Paola , Fantechi Federico , Godwin Eun Sun
Published: March 2024

In this work we estimate different dose-response functions linking FDI inflows received by developing countries with their economic growth. Although the impact of FDI on the economic growth of host countries has been widely investigated in literature, findings have been ambiguous. Our study proposes a novel ‘dose-response’ approach which allows the response of recipients to different amounts of treatment in terms of FDI inflow to be observed. Our findings show that the estimated dose-response functions are statistically significant for treatment values greater than 20%, after the treatment has been rescaled to a percentage measure of the maximum dose observed, and increasing at a decreasing rate, therefore suggesting three relevant results: a) a country receiving a greater amount of FDI inflows will present a higher economic growth; b) there might be a minimum amount of FDI inflows required to reach some policy effectiveness; c) the initial amounts of FDI inflow are more effective than the subsequent ones. Results will help policymakers to better isolate the effect of FDI on economic growth and conduct informed FDI cost-benefit analysis.
Does Corruption Impede the Influence of Women Empowerment on Economic Growth? Empirical evidence from BRICS Countries
Authors:   International Islamic University, Islamabad, Pakistan, Javed H.
Published: March 2024

Women have a prime importance in the developmental process of any state. The significance of this particular gender can be observed by the investments made in particular areas to raise gender equalities and women awareness. However, corruption inhibits economic growth even when women are putting their efforts into economic output. The current research has investigated the impact of women’s empowerment on economic growth with the moderating role of corruption through time series data from 1997 to 2019. This research adopted single and average methods for data analysis. The estimated outcomes showed a similar pattern: women’s empowerment is found to have a significant positive impact on economic growth. However, corruption is found to be moderating with an enhancing effect instead of a buffering effect. From the empirical investigation, it is concluded that more empowered women are likely to decline the corruption rate in selected BRICS countries. Because they began with the concept that women are essential to the process of economic growth, empowered women affiliated with the BRICS countries have been successful in enhancing their economic growth.

This study aims to investigate how national cultures affect stock market returns across the BRICS economies and Pakistan. The conceptual framework is how national cultures affect stock return and volatility with six dimensions (PDI, UAI, MAS, LTO, IDV, and IVR) and two control variables, the exchange rate and interest rate. The data samples are extracted from Six BRICS’P nations, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and Pakistan for the period from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2021. Regression analysis using panel data was utilized in this study to examine the effects of the major factors both individually and collectively. The results of panel data analysis indicate that National culture has little effect on returns from all six countries. Furthermore, only MAS has a negative substantial impact on return in the national culture dimension. Volatility is adversely affected by national culture. National cultures affect stock market volatility and returns globally, but because it analyses long-term data and Hofstede’s culture modifies the data over the years.

This empirical research investigates the interplay between Total Quality Management (TQM), Project Performance (PP), and Supervisor Support (SS) within the context of post-Covid-19 pandemic manufacturing firms in Pakistan. The study involved the development and distribution of a questionnaire to manufacturing industries located in federal area of Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan and northern Punjab, Pakistan. Upon scrutinizing the collected data, the research revealed a noteworthy and positive correlation between Total Quality Management and Project Performance. Out of 195 distributed questionnaires, 131 responses were received. Interestingly, while global literature commonly asserts that Supervisor Support serves as a beneficial moderator in the relationship between Total Quality Management and Project Performance, the study’s findings in the Pakistani manufacturing sector suggested a different reality. Specifically, supervisors were perceived as providing insufficient support to their subordinates in matters of quality. Some employees also highlighted that their organizations struggled to implement TQM practices fully, occasionally breaching cost and time constraints in projects; nevertheless, these organizations remained highly profitable. Overall, it suggests that manufacturing industries in Pakistan may benefit from prioritizing Supervisor Support within the framework of Total Quality Management to enhance their overall performance and production efficiency.

Effects of Clothianidin on Biochemical Parameters of Adult Zebrafish
Authors: Patil shreya , D’Souza Roshan C.
Published: March 2024

The ubiquitous use of insecticides leads to detrimental effects on non-target organisms due to accidental exposure. Neonicotinoid insecticides are popularly used worldwide for their high affinity for arthropod nicotinic receptors which effectively kill insect pests. Low affinity towards vertebrate nicotinic receptors, make them safer as compared to traditional insecticides. Recent studies demonstrated that neonicotinoid exposure can cause some toxicity in vertebrates including humans. Zebrafish is one of the popular model organisms to study ecotoxicity. This is the first study on adult zebrafish to report the effect of novel neonicotinoid, Clothianidin on mortality, liver antioxidant stress profile, liver function profile and brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Observations were made over two treatment periods, 96 hours, and 21 days, in five groups exposed to varying concentrations of Clothianidin viz. 30mg/L, 50mg/L, 70mg/L, 90mg/L, 110mg/L and a control. Although no mortality was observed, Clothianidin exposure led to increased activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme, lipid peroxidation and decreased catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST). Treated groups also showed increased concentrations of liver enzyme alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and acid phosphatase (ACP). These results indicate that Clothianidin causes disturbances in the hepatic function. A prominent decreasing trend observed in brain AChE shows that Clothianidin inhibits AChE in adult zebrafish. Further investigations on DNA damage and gene expression studies could be conducted to understand the exact mechanism of action of Clothianidin

For centuries, the purpose of punishment has been as a method of revenge and reaffirmation of state power against the offender of the laws imposed on society, neglecting its duty to reeducate the individual. This article presents a perspective on penalties throughout the history of Law as a means of protecting social and individual rights, demonstrating the importance of alternative sentences and measures as an innovative and restorative element within Criminal Law, listing the main challenges faced in their use, in addition to a quali-quantitative analysis of their applicability within the Brazilian Judiciary, as an effective means for the resocialization of the convict, thus minimizing the existing stigma towards those returning from prison. Finally, it will be demonstrated the great advance and progress from the recognition of the unconstitutional state of things of the Brazilian prison and the consequent incentive to the use of alternatives to punishment as an attempt to mitigate these problems experienced in Brazilian society

La presente investigación aborda el estudio taxonómico de la familia Cleridae (Coleoptera: Cleroidea) la cual se encuentra asociada a distintas actividades biológicas en los ecosistemas donde habitan, fungiendo como depredadores, necrófagos o polinizadores y cuentan con una amplia distribución ecológica en México. En el país se han realizado investigaciones enfocadas en la recolecta e identificación de integrantes de esta familia de escarabajos. Sin embargo, esta información permanece dispersa o es muy antigua, lo cual a su vez no permite tener la información en una sola fuente y para tener una visión más amplia del taxón. Por tanto, se realizó una revisión detallada de literatura científica y de especímenes depositados en colecciones entomológicas de diferentes instituciones. Con los resultados de esta investigación se conformó una base de datos digital, la cual alberga los registros de las especies de Cleridae presentes en México, el número asciende a 535 especies pertenecientes a 60 géneros y 11 subfamilias.

OTONI - Oggetti Teatrali Online Non-Identificati
Authors: Boccia Artieri Giovanni
Published: March 2024

Negli anni della pandemia, si è assistito a un’ampia sperimentazione nel campo dello spettacolo dal vivo, che ha visto la nascita di nuove forme artistiche sfruttando le potenzialità, ma anche i limiti, delle piattaforme digitali. Questo saggio si propone di delineare la natura degli Oggetti Teatrali Online Non Identificati (OTONI) come una realtà distintiva, analizzandoli attraverso il concetto di mediatizzazione. La mediatizzazione degli OTONI coinvolge sia la loro forma drammaturgica sia quella performativa, caratterizzandosi per un nuovo tipo di patto empatico con lo spettatore, per la loro natura deterritorializzata ed effimera now everywhere, e per l'assimilazione di logiche e linguaggi digitali sia nella strutturazione formale che nella drammaturgia.

Os dêiticos na perícope de 2Ts 2: um estudo de caso
Authors: Carvalho Adriano da Silva
Published: March 2024

Esta pesquisa apresenta uma analisa da perícope de 2 Tessalonicenses 2 sob a perspectiva do fenômeno linguístico da dêixis. E, ao fazê-lo, tomar-se-á como contributo teórico a teoria da enunciação, a fim de evidenciar, um pequeno corpo de palavras que ligam o codificador à situação de enunciação. Reconhece-se a assimetria do ato de enunciação e, portanto, a necessidade do intérprete reconstruir seu sentido a partir de indicações presentes no enunciado. No caso do texto epistolar a presença do dispositivo dêitico é essencial, visto que a situação de comunicação carece de ancoragem. Assim, o que se objetiva com esse trabalho é identificar as coordenadas enunciativas do autor (enunciador).
Criação, migração e injustiça: um ensaio ecoteológico e literário de Sl 42–43
Authors: Dantas José Ancelmo Santos
Published: March 2024

Um texto artístico, pressupõe a presença de uma vasta carga literária. Para isso, faz-se necessário uma leitura sincrônica, e, portanto, relacional. O bom exercício hermenêutico deve levar em conta o que está no cânon textual. No caso, (Sl 42-43) constitui com suas três estrofes (1ª vv. 2a-5f / 2ª vv. 7a-11d / 3ª 1a-4d) um poema lírico único e que foi artisticamente preparado e testamentado. Mais ainda, há uma tríade hermenêutica nele impressa: Criação (vv. 2a-5f); Migração (vv. 7a-11d) e Injustiça (vv. 1a-4d). Pois, o poeta ao cantar ou rezar, ora imagina os elementos criados pelo Senhor, e, que são responsáveis pela sobrevivência humana, ora contempla os espaços geográficos. Sim, o seu cântico é de lamentação, contudo sua esperança, tem nome: “Deus” “אלוהים”.
Arte, arquitetura e arqueologia do Antigo Oriente Próximo no debate contemporâneo e o problema da produção artística no Levante Sul - Parte 1
Authors: Miranda Filho Francisco Marques
Published: March 2024

O debate contemporâneo sobre o reconhecimento de que se produziu arte e arquitetura sofisticadas no Antigo Oriente Próximo alcançou um nível de maturidade investigativa, usando as ferramentas da arqueologia, mas também da estética, semiótica, história, entre outras. Dessa forma, os estudiosos concluíram que a arte mesopotâmica possui a mesma grandiosidade da egípcia e da grega. Apesar disso, parte da região que compõe o Antigo Oriente Próximo foi considerada periférica na comparação ao mundo mesopotâmico. O Levante Sul, lugar onde a maior parte da narrativa bíblica aconteceu se encontra nessa situação e é considerado periférico, não apenas na arte, mas também na arquitetura. Aderir a essa tese sem questioná-la é desconsiderar que as mesmas ferramentas usadas para classificar a arte mesopotâmica podem ser instrumentos de leitura crítica da arte levantina, considerando suas características peculiares, ainda que em menor proporção numérica e qualitativa. Não se pode relegar à minoridade periférica qualquer produção artística. A primeira parte deste artigo aborda o uso das ferramentas conceituais e críticas na classificação da produção artística do Antigo Oriente Próximo.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram verificar o efeito da rutina sobre a maturação in vitro (MIV) de oócitos provenientes de folículos secundários de ovelhas cultivados in vitro e analisar o possível envolvimento da via mTOR na MIV, sob influência da rutina. Os folículos secundários foram cultivados por 18 dias em meio α-Mínimo Essencial (α-MEM) suplementado com albumina sérica bovina (BSA), insulina, glutamina, hipoxantina, transferrina, selênio, ácido ascórbico e leptina (meio controle: α-MEM+). Em seguida, os folículos foram avaliados quanto à morfologia, formação do antro e diâmetro folicular e taxa de oócitos totalmente crescidos (≥110 µm). Oócitos totalmente crescidos foram submetidos à MIV em meio de cultivo de tecidos 199 (TCM199) suplementado com soro fetal bovino (FBS), hormônio luteinizante (LH), hormônio folículo estimulante recombinante (rFSH) (meio controle MIV) ou neste meio com 0,1, 1 ou 10 µg.mL-1 de rutina. Ao final da MIV, os oócitos foram avaliados quanto à atividade mitocondrial, concentração de espécies reativas de oxigênio (ERO) e glutationa (GSH), porcentagem de retomada de meiose, fragmentação de DNA e envolvimento da via mTOR. Após 18 dias de cultivo in vitro, 77,5% dos folículos estavam normais e 77,7% tornaram-se folículos antrais, com 380,41 µm de diâmetro. Além disso, 70% dos oócitos que cresceram in vitro atingiram diâmetro ≥110 µm e foram submetidos à MIV. A concentração de 10 µg.mL-1 de rutina aumentou significativamente a porcentagem de oócitos que retomaram a meiose (47,27%) em comparação ao meio controle (30,43%). Houve um aumento significativo nas concentrações de ROS e GSH em oócitos maturados com 0.1 µg.mL-1 de rutina em comparação com os outros tratamentos com rutina (p < 0,05). Além disso, a maturação de oócitos em TCM199+ aumentou (p<0,05) o percentual de fragmentação de DNA (30%) comparado ao tratamento com 10 µg.mL-1 de rutina (0%). Após MIV, ambos os tratamentos maturados na presença ou ausência de rapamicina apresentaram porcentagem semelhante de retomada meiótica (61,76% para TCM199 + 10 µg.mL-1 de rutina e 70,73% para TCM199 +  10 µg.mL-1 de rutina + rapamicina) (p>0,05). Em conclusão, a concentração de 10 µg.mL-1 de rutina aumentou a retomada da meiose e reduziu os danos ao DNA.

Authors: Boini Boini , Mahrus Erwin
Published: March 2024

This study aims to determine the relevance between Islamic inheritance law material and the book Majmu'ul Al-Mirats Fil Hukmil Faraid in class XII PAI material. This research was conducted by qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach that is happening today. The focus of this research will be to review the extent of the relevance of the book to PAI material in grade XII high school. The setting of this research was conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Nanga Pinoh, Melawi Regency. Researchers took samples of PAI teaching materials used during teaching and learning activities. The results of the study found that Ismail Mundu as a scholar had practiced his knowledge in educating the community and realizing a religious and peaceful society. Islam regulates human relations with others, which includes the issue of inheritance. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) brought Islamic inheritance law to change the jahiliyah inheritance law which was largely determined by tribal elements that were considered unjust. In Islamic inheritance rules, the curriculum in the world of education also does not escape to review clearly the basic principles concerning inheritance law, so that inheritance material is poured in the high school level learning package book. The Book of Majmu'ul Al-Mirats Fil Hukmil Faraid is very relevant to the PAI material in class XII, because it also explains the source or basis of inheritance law in it and presents the division and example cases in the material content
