LGBT is not justified in any religion, so that consumers as users of products issued by PT Unilever which officially announces support for LGBT, especially Muslim consumers, feel disappointed with the company's support. Not a few consumers also want to boycott and don't even buy and use them anymore, because according to some opinions LGBT is prohibited in Islam, even Allah clearly explains it in the Qur'an. However, some product users say that it is impossible or impossible to stop using the product again, because the products issued by this company have been used by the public for a long time and there is no doubt about the quality, even the price and how to get it are not difficult.

Published: July 2022

The world of banking is an activity based on the principle of trust. The public will place their funds in a bank that is considered trustworthy. If factually, the Bank is not trusted, then whether the Bank will succeed in controlling the market share of public funds, of course this will be difficult. The concept of Islamic banking that carries Islamic values based on Allah's guidance in the Qur'an and the example of Rasulullah in the hadith will certainly be an effective tool in increasing public trust in placing their funds in Islamic banking. This study uses a qualitative approach. Good Corporate Governance according to the general view, as well as good Corporate Governance according to the philosophical view of Islam from the perspective of Ontology, Epistemology and Axiology in general are the same. The fundamental difference is actually the value of Islamic mysticism in good corporate governance according to the Islamic view. This difference clearly affects the perspective of good corporate governance. If it is based on an Islamic view, there needs to be an internalization of values because not all of the variables can be seen with the naked eye or reality.

Ideoloxía e identidade no discurso musical
Authors: Senín Santiago Mª Belén
Published: July 2022

No panorama actual da música a nivel global, os xéneros urbanos como o trap ou o hip-hop atópanse en auxe, especialmente entre a mocidade. O caso galego non é unha excepción. Se ben o hip-hop gozaba xa de certa traxectoria, a entrada en escena do trap é, aínda que recente, innegablemente triunfal. Porén, constituiría unha grave ausencia de análise reducir a popularidade destes xéneros a meras tendencias. A música, como produto cultural fillo do contexto no que nace, serve de ferramenta para a creación ou reforzo da identidade, e como tal non está exenta de ideoloxía. Así, a través da análise dos devanditos xéneros baixo o prisma da análise crítica do discurso, amosaremos como estes encerran dúas posturas opostas no que á identidade e a ideoloxía transmitida se refire, dúas reaccións diferentes ao mundo da modernidade líquida.
Implementing Indigenous Youth Peer Mentorship: Insights from the By Youth For Youth Project

Published: July 2022

Indigenous youth are disproportionately represented among youth experiencing homelessness in Canada and are at an increased risk for mental health and substance use problems compared to non-Indigenous youth experiencing homelessness. Research is needed that considers how best to support Indigenous youth in acquiring and maintaining stable housing. Indigenous youth peer mentorship is one possible mechanism that warrants consideration, as Indigenous youth who have previously been homeless can share experience with the barriers that other youth encounter as well as skills that may be well-suited to facilitate hope and understanding to other homeless youth. In the present study, we examined the process by which Indigenous peer mentors engage in a peer-driven project designed to support other Indigenous youth experiencing homelessness in Northwestern Ontario. This process was documented through qualitative interviews with three peer mentors and three staff, as well as ethnographic fieldnotes. Thematic analyses revealed that peer mentorship positions appear to be useful for the Indigenous youth who engage in them, as these positions provide them with a paid avenue to engage in advocacy and support others with similar experiences as them, while simultaneously increasing their cultural connectedness, confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness, and ability to advocate for their own needs. The present study also yielded important considerations for organizations implementing Indigenous youth peer mentorship positions, including offering training and providing opportunities for cultural engagement, avoiding tokenism, being cognizant of possible dual-relationships, and supporting peer mentors who may be grappling with personal difficulties outside of their roles.

The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) is a solitary, medium–sized mammal native to South Asia. In this study we used camera trap data recorded during a meso–mammal survey conducted from January 2019 to January 2021 to assess the occupancy, habitat associations, population density and activity patterns of Indian pangolins in Maduru Oya National Park (MONP), Sri Lanka. The preferred habitat of the species was dry–mixed forest with an occupancy probability of 0.42 ± 0.19. Occupancy modeling revealed the association of the species with the forested habitats of the park with rich canopy cover, high NDVI scores and abundant termite mounds. Activity of this pangolin was highly nocturnal, reaching a peak after midnight. We observed a considerable spatiotemporal overlap in Indian pangolin activity and human activity, possibly increasing hunting pressure on the species. We estimated occupancy and abundance–based population density (0.73 ± 0.21 indiv./km2) using the random encounter model for the first time in the study area. These findings could be useful for conservation and management decisions concerning the survival and vital habitats of one of the most trafficked mammals in the world, the Indian pangolin.
Tahkim dalam Standar Syariah dan Urgensinya terhadap Penyelesaian Sengketa Ekonomi Syariah di Indonesia
Authors: Warman Arifki Budia , Hayati Riska Fauziah
Published: July 2022

The practice of sharia economics is growing and diverse, which has resulted in the emergence of various sharia economic disputes. This requires the development of alternative dispute resolutions, as has been done by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) by presenting Sharia Standards that specifically discuss tahkim. This paper aims to explain the provisions of tahkim in the Sharia Standards of AAOIFI and the urgency of resolving sharia economic disputes. Using the content analysis method by collecting various relevant references, this study found that various provisions must be met when carrying out a tahkim contract in the settlement of sharia economic disputes, including those relating to the pillars and requirements of tahkim, the object that is the authority of the tahkim contract, provisions for the appointment of judges, and the power of judges' decisions. The application of the tahkim contract in the settlement of sharia economic law disputes has several advantages, namely that it is fast, cheap, efficient, energy and thought-efficient, fair, and fulfills the benefits of the disputing parties, so the development and application of tahkim as an alternative economic dispute resolution is very important.

Prematurity refers to the birth of a baby before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. This can be related to considerable parental anxiety and mental status changes. Anxiety can manifest as worrying thoughts, feelings of tension, and altered vital signs. This review aims to analyze the relationship between premature birth and parental anxiety, focusing on the emotional status of both mothers and fathers. The review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis 2020 guidelines. A search was undertaken in PubMed, PubMed Central, MEDLINE, and ScienceDirect. Screening of articles was carried out to find relevant and appropriate articles. Articles were then quality-checked before inclusion. Our analysis showed that mothers of preterm infants had greater symptoms of anxiety, and comorbid anxiety and depression, than mothers of term infants. Mothers of preterm infants 5 years after discharge showed long-term consequences of stress and anxiety, including inappropriate responses and reduced praise for their children. Mothers of preterm multiples were more likely to experience stress and anxiety than mothers of preterm singletons. Fathers of preterm infants experienced higher levels of stress than fathers of term infants, but fathers of preterm infants experienced less stress than mothers of preterm infants. These findings suggest that routine mental health screening and intervention should be undertaken for both mothers and fathers of preterm infants.

Relative Clause French: An Approach to Syntactic Typology
Authors: Nurilam Harianja  , Mulyadi
Published: July 2022

This study aims to describe the constituent forms of the French relative clause. The data source of this research is written text, namely the Tendance book. The data analysis method uses the billing method. The result of this research shows that the basic order of clauses in French is of type , namely the verb precedes the object. the object of the preposition is included in the constituent. Nod and Np constituents in the form of pronouns are in front of the verb, the French Relative Clause is not only a delimiter in noun phrases. French has relatively simple pronouns and relatively complex pronouns. The form of the verb that is conjugated will change according to the type (feminine or masculine) or from the angle of form (singular or plural). All relative pronouns in French have their respective functions according to the noun phrase they replace. From the conclusion above, it is clear that every language has its own uniqueness, even though there are similarities or differences.

Published: July 2022

Human displacement has been a recurring factor in international affairs. This, on one hand is a result of trans-border displacement while on the other hand, is due to the intensity of internal displacement and its attendant need for protection and assistance of internally displaced persons. International aid has remained a constant theme in human displacement in general even when internally displaced persons are basically the responsibility of their government. This research examines the interventions of United Nations in the management of internally displaced persons in Nigeria. It made use of both primary and secondary sources of data. The major instrument of research was oral interview of key respondents. The research found out that the United Nations, through its specialised agencies has been playing significant roles in all facets of protection, relief and development of internally displaced persons in Nigeria. The United Nations interventions were observed in the provision of basic healthcare, education, shelter, security,food and non-food items, orientation, durable solution and psychosocial support. The research concludes that, international aid, especially from the United nations has been strategic to the management of the humanitarian crisis in Nigeria. But despite the volume of the interventions, the high population of the IDPs continue to overshadow it.
Functional and balance assessment in older adults
Authors: dos Santos Cláudia Amaro , Francisco Duque João , Vieira Pereira Hugo
Published: July 2022

Introduction: The aging process is characterized by several processes of change, which lead to a decrease in physiological and functional capacities. Functional fitness in the elderly is of great importance for carrying out activities of daily living, allowing the detection of limitations that result from the aging process and thus preventing and reducing the various functional declines. Objective: To systematically review the existing scientific literature on what is the best way to assess functional fitness in the elderly. Method: Systematic review with search of all scientific articles, indexed in “PubMed”, since January 2010. Results: 323 articles were identified, of which only 8 were considered eligible for review. The studies analyzed showed some divergence in terms of the best way to assess functional capacity and balance. BESTest and the unstable board have been suggested as the best tests to measure balance. Conclusions: The assessment of balance is more adequately assessed by tests on a board and the fragility is better assessed by tests such as Timed Up and Go. The characteristics and individuality of the populations concerned must be the primary factor in determining which assessment to apply.
Effect of Static Stretching on Dynamic Balance and Performance of the Saudi Recreational Football Players
Authors: Takroni Mohammed A , Bakallah Waleed S , Akomolafe Tola CO
Published: July 2022

Back ground There have been rather controversial reports that some sport performances are negatively affected by stretching. It is widely believed that pre-exercise static stretching reduces the risk of injury and enhances performance. Several studies reported that pre-exercise static stretching decreases maximal force production, jump height and speed. (Does static stretching has a negative influence on balance and/ or athletic performance?) Aim of study: To determine the effect of static stretching (SS) on static and dynamic balance (DB) and its influence on the performance of the Saudi recreational football players. Material & methods: 40 healthy male Saudi recreational football players, their mean age was 21 years old. Participants were randomly divided into two groups A (n=20) started dynamic balance first then the static balance, while group B (n=20) started the static balance test first and Intervention: Participants at each group were asked to preform static stretching exercises for each muscle group (hamstring, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius) three times. Holding period of SS was 30 seconds with 10 seconds rest. The static balanced (SB) test was measured using “Balance Master System”, while Modified Star Excursion Balance Tests was used to measure the DB. Group A started SB test first and group B started DB test first. Results: The results indicated statistically significant effect for groups (P= 0.017) and for the interaction between group and time (P= 0.001). However, the main effect for time was not significant (P= 0.533). Group B significantly showed better mean score of SB compared to group A in both period (P= 0.017). group B demonstrated slightly lower mean score immediately post stretching which, indicate an improvement of the SB while, group A demonstrated an increase in the mean score of the SB indicating low SB. Conclusion: Static stretching has an immediate (acute) positive effect on the static and dynamic balance of recreational football players. This effect decreased over time.
Elucidation of the mechanism of cognitive decline in mild cognitive impairment using causal discovery
Authors: Matsuura Kenji
Published: July 2022

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the stage between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and the more serious decline of dementia. Since MCI may increase risk of later developing dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other neurological conditions, it is important to detect and treat MCI early in order to prevent dementia. Causal discovery, which can visualize causal relationships (cause and effect) among data, has recently been attracting attention. One of its algorithms, the Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Model (LiNGAM), can extract causal relationships among variables from statistical data only, using probability distributions of variables that are generally non-Gaussian. In this study, we used LiNGAM to analyze gene expression data in the hippocampus of healthy subjects and of MCI patients, and also the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, which are used to assess cognitive decline. We found that cell adhesion molecule 4 (CADM4) gene regulates cognitive processes that are measured in terms of MMSE scores. Our results revealed a causal relationship between gene expression changes and MMSE scores, and allowed us to identify the genes responsible for cognitive decline..

Authors: E Vishneva , K Vishneva
Published: July 2022

A comparative trial within 2 groups of patients with cardiovascular diseases who have high and normal levels of lipoprotein (a) was conducted to determine the link between high levels of Lp (a) and the nature of the development of cardiovascular events. According to the results of the study, conclusions about the significance of the level of Lp(a), as well as hypolipidemic therapy in patients with cardiovascular pathology were made. The features of the population of patients with an expected increase in Lp(a) and the predominance of lesions of the brachiocephalic arteries among individuals with increased Lp(a) were revealed. Hypolipidemic statin therapy with a passable correction of the lipid spectrum does not always allow to control the increase in Lp(a)

Introduction: Bariatric surgery is the treatment of severe obesity with associated pathologies, with proven evidence in its benefits. By treating overweight allows a better and even reversal of pathologies associated with obesity. Weight loss associated with bariatric surgery is greatly associated with a significant reduction of skeletal muscle and bone mineral mass, which leads us to induce that after bariatric surgery, patients incur an increased risk of sarcopenia. The need for prophylactic programs that prevent sarcopenia in bariatric surgery patients seems to be one of the crucial points for the framing of long-term surgical success of bariatric and metabolic surgery. The aim of this randomized clinical trial will be to study the effects of a 16-week supervised exercise intervention program on the prevention of sarcopenia after bariatric surgery Method: This randomized controlled trial study will include 60 patients of both sexes on the waiting list for bariatric surgery and who have subsequently performed the surgery. They will be randomized into 2 groups, experimental and control. The intervention will take place 1 month after surgery, for a total of 16 weeks. Parameters of body composition, metabolic risk, quality of life, physical activity and sedentary behavior will be determined. Results: Assessments will take place in five moments, the surgery, the intervention, the post-intervention, six months after the intervention, twelve months after the intervention.

The lithium-pilocarpine (Li-Pc) model of status epilepticus (SE) is most convenient and is frequently used for pathophysiological and management strategies in search of new, safe and effective therapeutic agents including the natural remedies for SE. Oral administration of cinnamon (CIN) and curcumin (CUR) can reduce neuroinflammation which is a common feature of neurodegenerative pathophysiological disorders. Although many studies on CUR effects on SE has been undertaken, to our best knowledge no study has been conducted on studying the effect of CIN on SE. The present study explores the neuroprotective effects of natural food products CUR and CIN on Li-Pc induced SE in rats. SE was induced in experimental rats using lithium – pilocarpine model. Besides control groups, the animals were also grouped as treatment groups which received CIN and CUR pre-treatment before induction of SE. Besides severity of the seizures, cognitive dysfunctions, oxidative stress parameters were also estimated in the forebrain tissue of all group of animals. Treatment with CIN and CUR significantly ameliorated the frequency and severity of epileptic seizures in a dose-dependent manner. The cognitive dysfunctions as well as the oxidative stress indices (enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic) were ameliorated significantly and dosedependently by CIN and CUR pre-treatment in the order CUR<CIN in all parameters. Possible therapeutic application of CIN and CUR as antiepileptic and as antioxidant for the treatment of SE has a great potential and warrants further studies
Limited accrual of myxospores of Kudoa inornata (Cnidaria: Myxosporea) in their wild fish hosts, Cynoscion nebulosus (Teleostei: Sciaenidae)

Kudoa inornata is a myxosporean that infects the seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus. Increased prevalence of infection as fish age and absence of inflammation against plasmodia led to the hypothesis that seatrout retain and accumulate myxospores throughout their lives. However, opportunistic observations that wild-caught seatrout cleared infection when maintained in aquaculture conditions and evidence of encapsulated infected necrotic myofibers suggested that fish develop an immunity against this parasite, or that myxospores have a limited life span. To evaluate myxospore clearance and to test putative resistance to re-infection, we examined 44 wild-caught seatrout broodstock maintained in parasite-free water for 2-6 yr. Twenty-five fish served as negative controls (time zero of experiment), and 19 were exposed to water-borne K. inornata infective stages for 18 wk. Over 73% of the exposed fish became infected, compared to ~12% of control fish, indicating that fish were susceptible to re-infection by K. inornata. Whether plasmodia degenerate because K. inornata myxospores have a limited life span or seatrout develop an adaptive immunity against these life stages remains unknown. To test for accumulation of myxospores over time, we compared myxospore densities and intensities between sexes and across ages and sizes of wild seatrout. There was no significant difference in myxospore densities with size, age, or sex. However, intensities increased significantly with increasing fish age and size, indicating accrual of myxospores over time. These results combined with evidence of infection clearance suggest that K. inornata myxospores do not persist but nevertheless accrue in wild seatrout due to continuous contact with infective stages.

Although portions of the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida (USA), serve as essential fish habitat for US Atlantic coast bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas, past studies were short-term (days to months) and encompassed only small parts of this expansive estuarine system. In this study, 29 immature bull sharks were tracked in the IRL between Port St. John and Port Salerno, Florida, and in adjacent shelf waters for up to 4 yr using passive acoustic telemetry. Dynamic Brownian bridge movement models showed small daily (50% utilization distribution [UD] = 1.00 km2, 95% UD = 4.36 km2) and monthly (50% UD = 4.88 km2, 95% UD = 24.67 km2) mean activity spaces that seasonally shifted (October-March) to include adjacent coastal waters. Tracked bull sharks were found to display residency in the IRL and in distinct subregions of the system. Analysis confirmed that bull shark nursery habitat extends south of Sebastian Inlet to Port Salerno, approximately 86 km farther south than previously described, and that adjacent shelf waters, which had not been studied, are important to immature bull sharks during cooler months. This study provides the first multi-year assessment of bull shark space use in the IRL, with improved resolution and over a greater expanse of the system than past studies. These movement data will be important to understanding how young bull sharks may be affected by anthropogenic stressors in this highly impacted lagoonal estuary.
