Dakwah Transformatif Menciptakan Karakter Pemuda Islami (Studi Kasus Majelis Gaul Jember)
Authors: Kamilah Nur
Published: June 2021

There has been a spreading phenomenon in which many of today's youth societies tend to go wild and out of control. Most of such functions tend to be surrounded by individuals who indulge themselves in sinful acts instead of doing a self-discovery process to gain the God's blessings. Having seen many youths tend to enjoy doing forbidden acts and restrain-free activities, therefore Majlis Gaul community proposed a new way of da'wah. The community employs a subtle and a heart warming way of conveying da'wah. It is no longer conventional preaching which is in the form of oral da'wah, but they employ transformative da'wah method. This transformative da'wah is implemented in social change activities, by using da'wah as a religious material and positioning the dai (preacher) as the conveyer of religious messages to the community. The current study is a qualitative research with descriptive qualitative approach. In this study, the data are presented in descriptive texts. The results of this study are: 1) In shaping the Islamic character, Majlis Gaul community held a "Brother Camp" as well as some "Kajian Inspirasi". 2) Majlis Gaul invited Muslim youths to join activities such as sports (archery and horse riding). 3) The transformative da'wah done by Majlis Gaul was carried out by means of dialogue, exchanging thoughts and feelings. 4) The effort of Majlis gaul to do transformative da'wah is carried out by preaching through social media. This is because preaching through social media has become an increasingly globalized and entrenched phenomenon.
Perempuan dan Tasawwuf (Menakar Bias Gender dalam Kajian Sufisme)
Authors: Faesol Achmad
Published: June 2021

Gender discourse in sufism tends to attract attentions. Such charm emerges due to the fact that the Sufism is originally genderless. Sufism isn't bound nor chained by gender whether it is masculinity or feminity. However, the reality displays the other way around. Therefore, the current study attempts to capture women's position in the discourse of tasawwuf. Library research is employed as the research method of this study. Although gender domination is displayed in the early academic papers of Sufism, the existance of female Sufis have been proven throughout history. In the context of Sufism, masculinity would not emerge without feminity. Such statement only proves that there is no superiority between masculinity and femininity since both display a causal relationship. The research result showed that tasawwuf is free from feminine or masculine attributes. The gender construction in tasawwuf doesn't lay on the gender of the sufi but on the degree of feminity and masculinity of their psychiatric attributes which are reflected in their behaviour and acts. In the context of sufism, masculinity, which is socially considered as something dominant, substantially has "flaw". This is because masculinity would not emerge if there's no feminity. This is a mysterious great power of feminity in Sufism discourse. In short, there is no superiority between masculinity and feminity. Both are equal and as a result of love.

Purpose: This study set out to assess the level of policy formulation in Hoima district local government for effective service delivery in Uganda. Research methodology: A quantitative case study design was embraced, aiming at 30 local councillors and 60 technical officials. The real sample was 54 respondents. Data were gathered via a self-administered questionnaire and an interview guide. Numerical and non-numerical data were examined by way of descriptive statistics as well as thematic analysis. Results: Results suggest a moderate mean for policy formulation in Hoima as generated from all the five constructs namely; problem identification (µ=2.88; SD= 1.346), problem manifesto (µ=2.76; SD =1.347), policy agenda (µ=2.17; SD =1.268), policy debate (µ=2.58; SD =1.271) and policy decision (µ=2.20; SD =1.268). This was so because the overall mean was 2.52 and the overall SD was 1.300. Nevertheless, the numerous impediments confronted mainly at policy decision disrupted the process. Limitations: The study concentrated on one local government in Uganda and so the results may not be generalised to Uganda. Contribution: These results might be used as contributions for local governments in Uganda to evolve a guide on integrating policy formulation issues during orientation and or retooling local councillors and technical officials for better policy formulation processes. This article contributes to the budding understanding by underlining undertones in policy formulation so that local governments become more efficient in delivering services to the citizenry.

This paper presents fourth order Adams predictor corrector numerical scheme for solving initial value problem. First, the solution domain is discretized. Then the derivatives in the given initial value problem are replaced by finite difference approximations and the numerical scheme that provides algebraic systems of difference equations is developed. The starting points are obtained by using fourth order Runge-Kutta method and then applying the present method to finding the solution of Initial value problem. To validate the applicability of the method, two model examples are solved for different values of mesh size. The stability and convergence of the present method have been investigated. The numerical results are presented by tables and graphs. The present method helps us to get good results of the solution for small value of mesh size h. The proposed method approximates the exact solution very well. Moreover, the present method improves the findings of some existing numerical methods reported in the literature.

Authors: Grané Mariona ,   Universitat de Barcelona
Published: June 2021

Los estudios sobre el uso de tecnologías digitales por parte de niños y niñas indican un aumento de las pantallas en las escuelas, pero sobre todo en los hogares, desde 2013. Los menores ya emplean antes de los dos años smartphones y tablets para jugar, para comunicarse, para crear y para aprender. Para ellos las pantallas son parte de su vida cotidiana y una herramienta más de juego, mientras que para los educadores existen todavía importantes dudas sobre las posibilidades del medio interactivo para el desarrollo de los más pequeños a nivel cognitivo, afectivo y psicomotor. Investigar para conocer cómo los niños y niñas más pequeños interactúan con las tecnologías digitales es hoy más necesario que nunca. Este libro pretende contribuir a la investigación en el campo de la interacción de los menores con las pantallas interactivas durante la primera infancia, y se difunde en abierto para llegar a todos los académicos interesados en esta área, pero también a los educadores y familias preocupadas por seleccionar y ofrecer recursos de calidad que contribuyan a un uso saludable, responsable y educativo de la tecnología por parte de los más pequeños.

Published: June 2021

Objectives: We developed a Markov model to simulate a treatment flow of epilepsy patients who refer to specialized care from non-specialized care, and to surgery from specialized care for estimation of patient distributions and expenditures caused by increasing the referral rate for specialized care. Methods: This budget impact analysis of treatment flow optimization in epilepsy patients was performed as a long-term simulation using the Markov model by comparing the current treatment flow and the optimized treatment flow. In the model, we simulated the prognosis of new onset 5-year-old epilepsy patients (assuming to represent epilepsy occurring between 0 and 10 years of age) treated over a lifetime period. Direct costs of pharmacotherapies, management fees and surgeries are included in the analysis to evaluate the annual budget impact in Japan. Results: In the current treatment flow, the number of refractory patients treated with four drugs by non-specialized care were estimated as 8766 and yielded JPY5.8 billion annually. However, in the optimized treatment flow, the number of patients treated with four drugs by non-specialized care significantly decreased and who continued the monotherapy increased. The costs for the four-drug therapy by non-specialized care were eliminated. Hence cost-saving of JPY9.5 billion (-5% of the current treatment flow) in total national expenditures would be expected. Conclusion: This study highlights that any policy decision-making for referral optimization to specialized care in appropriate epilepsy patients would be feasible with a cost-savings or very few budget impacts. However, important information in the decision-making such as transition probability to the next therapy or excuse for sensitive limitations is not available currently. Therefore, further research with reliable data such as big data analysis or a national survey with real-world treatment patterns is needed.
(Dis)-Intersecting Intersectionality in the Time of Queer Syrian-Refugee-ness in Lebanon
Authors: Allouche Sabiha
Published: June 2021

This paper heeds Jasbir Puar’s call to supplement an intersectional analysis with an exercise of assemblage when examining identity politics. It argues that asylum organizations’ unwillingness to account for the interplay between the receiving state (in this case Lebanon) and the lived reality of (Syrian) LGBT refugees results in a “one size fits all” narrative that forces the latter into a more visible and potentially death-instigating corporeality. The interplay between refugees and the receiving state is summed up in the elitist discourse of a “Syrian neo-invasion” that results in the revival of an “authentic Lebanese masculinity.” Whereas the Syrian refugee is vilified as “rapist” in a heterosexual context, they are emasculated as “necessarily bottom” in a same-sex one. This discourse is hegemonized through its emergence at the intersection of sect, political loyalty, and class. At the empirical level, this paper draws on narratives recollected during fieldwork in order to show the limits of an analysis that takes identity politics as given, as seen in asylum organization’s western-imbued “fixed” interpretations of what LGBT identities should “look like” and “act like.”

Infeksi kecacingan yang disebabkan oleh Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) telah menjadi masalah umum kesehatan masyarakat Indonesia. Kemunculan infeksi kecacingan berawal dari pola hidup yang tidak bersih. Edukasi pola hidup bersih telah banyak dilakukan untuk mencegah penyakit kecacingan, namun efektivitas edukasi perlu dipelajari lebih lanjut dengan menelaah metode pada penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis tingkat praveleansi kecacingan di beberapa daerah dan mengetahui efektivitas edukasi kecacingan. Penelitian menggunakan metode literature review untuk menganalisis dan menginterpretasikan hasil penelitian-penelitian kejadian kecacingan sebelumnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 255 positif kecacingan dari 859 sampel dengan tingkat praveleansi total sebesar 29,7%. Kasus tertinggi terdapat pada SDN I Manurung, Kalimantan Selatan dengan tingkat praveleansi sebesar 68,4%. Hasil analisis dari literatur review menunjukkan faktor pola hidup bersih dan sanitasi lingkungan berperan dalam penularan kecacingan. Infeksi ganda oleh dua jenis cacing pada sampel tinja menunjukkan kebersihan diri dan lingkungan yang kurang terjaga. Metode edukasi dan pelayanan informasi terhadap infeksi dan penularan kecacacingan perlu ditingkatkan secara konsisten di daerah tergolong praveleansi tinggi.

The study aimed to investigate the negative effects of lead acetate on the liver and kidneys tissues of maleSprague Dawley rats. It was conducted on 28 male rats of the aforementioned strain. The rats were dividedinto four groups, including the control group (provided with regular fodd only), lead acetate group (LD 50),onion group (provided with lead with water and dried onion powder at a rate of 4% with the fodd) and teagroup (provided with lead with water and tea powder at 1% with the fodd). The results of the current studyshowed that the control group was a normal marker of hepatocytes (Central Vein, Sinosoid, Hepatocyte)While we note that the results of the T2 group, we find that there is severe damage to the tissues of theliver cells. Through the results of the study, we find the occurrence of a large grouping of lymphocytes andsevere congestion. Hepatocytes, the results of the T4 group showed hemorrhage and no accumulation oflymphocytes, as was the case in the results of the T2 group. Regarding the sections of renal tissue, the resultsof the study showed that the control group had normal tissues as well as parts of the kidneys (BowmansCapsule, glomerulus, Distal, convoluted tubule, Proximal convoluted tubules), while the renal tissue for T2suffered from severe hemorrhage and very severe cell damage, and compared with the results of T3, we findthat the renal tissue of T3 is distinguished by the presence of partially shrink glomerular and is not betterthan both T2 and T4 tissues, which are characterized by a clear shrinkage of the glomeruli and the presenceof hemorrhage, but with less than T3. Therefore, we find that the best results in terms of therapeutic nutritionfor liver cells are T4 (tea 1%) and kidney T3 cells (onion 4%).

Authors: Balsam Waleed Hussain Al-Askari
Published: June 2021

Background: In this study we shall deal with the early complications after thyroid surgery and compare the complication rate with the extent of resection (subtotal, near total and total thyroidectomy). Patients and Methods: Early complications after thyroid surgery were studied in A prospective study in One hundred patients. Data was collected in the pre-designed proforma. And they are classified according to age and sex of the patients, clinical conditions and training state of the surgeon. Descriptive statistics was used to calculate frequency of each complication in the early post-thyroidectomy period. Results: Most of the patients were females and lie at the (30-39) age group. Clinically, most of them are presented with simple multinodular goitre. Subtotal thyroidectomy is the most commonly used type of resection. The frequency of complications after total thyroidectomy is more than other types. And identification of the (RLN) will minimize the incidence of injury. These complications were (4%) tension haematoma, (11%) hypocalcaemia, (4%) respiratory obstruction, (8%) developed recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, (2%) superior laryngeal nerve paralysis, and (1%) wound infection. Surgeon’s experience is so important, in which there is less complications when the operation is performed by a consultant surgeon. Conclusions: Surgery may be associated with significant numbers of post-operative complications according to the type of surgery. Total thyroidectomy confers certain advantages over less extended procedures, but it is associated with higher morbidity. Due to the risk of an unsuspected malignancy and goiter relapse following conservative surgery and increased risk of complications following reoperation, total thyroidectomy is emerging as an attractive surgical option.

The researcher is outlined to have a beginning stage for an exploration plan for health financing for COVID-19, recognizing a preliminary addressing four thematic areas, namely mobilization of results, allocation and buying, monetary danger insurance (financial risk protection) equity, and maintaining and empowering advancement for UHC. Every question would require further elaboration and unpacking, with an improvement of proper exploration approaches utilizing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. While there is a requirement for fitting of research questions and country-specific analyses to advise local decision-making, there will likewise be incredible worth in bigger cross-country similar examination activities to address these inquiries, permitting finding out about how various frameworks, settings, qualities, and reactions to the plague have shaped health financing results and how these can be reinforced. The results show that heterogeneous effects across occupations and workers in the Western Balkan Societies show that health care occupations that have a higher share of workers working remotely were less affected by COVID-19. Those who did take full measures were more affected.On the other hand, occupations with relatively more workers working in proximity to others were more dramatic.
