Educational Philosophy of Islamic Hermeneutics and Its Application in Curriculum Studies
Authors: Piri Robab , Avarsin Sadegh Maleki
Published: July 2022

Hermeneutics is known as the science of interpreting and explaining texts. Hermeneutics, which was originally used as a way to interpret the scriptures and understand the text, has now risen to the level of a philosophical school and even entered the field of research theorizing and curriculum. It is especially important for disciplines about religious texts. For a hermeneutic educator, education is considered to be the heart of education, because education is nothing more than a process of effective application of hermeneutics (language) and for educators, it is a framework that may be used as a strategy and technique called critical thinking, which is a necessity of the present age. The first step of the article starts with extracting materials from the perspective of hermeneutic philosophy of Islamic approach by studying the internal and external texts of the curriculum dimensions and for this purpose the analytical-inferential method is used. In the second stage of the article, by examining the handful of patterns on hermeneutics that were deductive, theoretical, a new model for children's curriculum is presented to offer educators solutions to develop students' judgments and critical thinking from an early age. For this purpose, the practical analogy presented in a prescriptive form has been used as a useful and obligatory knowledge that has a great help in the field of education with an Islamic approach. This is provided that educators are familiar with the specific language of religious instruction, which requires skillful interpretations, so that students can learn how religious subjects influence people.

Published: July 2022

This article describes the role of Islamic education in the implementation of educational autonomy that occurs in Indonesia, both in Islamic educational institutions and in general education institutions. The results of the study indicate that Islamic education plays a major role in the implementation of educational autonomy. This is because Islamic education is a separate part that is able to implement its curriculum in Islamic educational institutions. This research is a literature study so that the data analyzed are sourced from various literature references by using literature analysis in revealing the data. Thus, the implementation of educational autonomy in various Indonesian educational institutions goes well together in accordance with the educational and learning objectives to be achieved. In the context of Islamic education itself, the entire PAI curriculum is able to synergies with other subjects implemented in schools and madrasa.

Published: July 2022

Conference Derivative Article. Every day, people need to be trained, either to complement their professional skills or because of personal interests that lead to their well-being. Online education, especially MOOC and SPOC are good alternatives for carrying out continuing educational processes, but are not enough when it comes to learning motor skills. This paper shows a research approach on how MOOC can expand its functionalities so that it can be applied to learning motor skills. It also proposes the development of a project to integrate three components: the integration component, the wearable component and the open edX component for the future development of a "salsa" course. Finally, it proposes an architecture based on the 4+1 view model, where the functionality in different areas of the design is shown.

Spatial and temporal non-stationarity in long-term population dynamics of over-wintering birds of North America
Authors: Murphy Stephen , Jarzyna Marta
Published: July 2022

Understanding population change across long time scales and at fine
spatiotemporal resolutions is important for confronting a broad suite of
conservation challenges. However, this task is hampered by a lack of
quality long-term census data for multiple species collected across
large geographic regions. Here, we used century-long (1919-2018) data
from the Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) survey to assess population
changes in over 300 avian species in North America and evaluate their
temporal non-stationarity. To estimate population sizes across the
entire century, we employed a Bayesian hierarchical model that accounts
for species detection probabilities, variable sampling effort, and
missing data. We evaluated population trends using generalized additive
models (GAMs) and assessed temporal non-stationarity in the rate of
population change by extracting the first derivatives from the fitted
GAM functions. We then summarized the population dynamics across
species, space, and time using a non-parametric clustering algorithm
that categorized individual population trends into four distinct trend
clusters. We found that species varied widely in their population
trajectories, with over 90% of species showing a considerable degree of
spatial and/or temporal non-stationarity, and many showing strong shifts
in the direction and magnitude of population trends throughout the past
century. Species were roughly equally distributed across the four
clusters of population trajectories, though grassland, forest, and
desert specialists more commonly showed declining trends. Interestingly,
for many species, region-wide population trends often differed from
those observed at individual sites, suggesting that conservation
decisions need to be tailored to fine spatial scales. Together, our
results highlight the importance of considering spatial and temporal
non-stationarity when assessing long-term population changes. More
generally, we demonstrate the promise of novel statistical techniques
for improving the utility and extending the temporal scope of existing
citizen science datasets.

Introduction: Children with a history of bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD) may have lower physical activity levels, but evidence to
date is based on self-report. This study compared physical activity
levels between children born extremely preterm with and without history
of BPD, and examined their associations with pulmonary magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) and pulmonary function test (PFT) indices.
Methods: This multi-centre cross-sectional study included
children aged 7-9 years born extremely preterm, with and without BPD.
Children wore a pedometer for one week, then completed the Physical
Activity Questionnaire (PAQ), pulmonary MRI, and PFT. Spearman
correlations and multivariable linear regression modelling were
performed. Results: Of 45 children, 28 had a history of
moderate-severe BPD. There were no differences in any physical activity
outcomes by BPD status. Higher average daily step count and higher
average daily moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were each
correlated with greater forced vital capacity (r=0.41 and 0.58), greater
MRI lung proton density at full expiration (r=0.42 and 0.49), and lower
lung clearance index (r=-0.50 and -0.41). After adjusting for MRI total
proton density and BPD status, a 5% increase in forced expiratory
volume at one second was associated with 738 (95%CI: 208, 1268) more
steps per day and 0.1 (0.0, 0.2) more hours of MVPA, respectively.
Conclusion: School-aged children born extremely preterm have
similar physical activity levels to their peers, regardless of history
of BPD. MRI and PFT measures suggestive of gas trapping and/or airflow
obstruction are associated with lower physical activity levels.
Infant Pulmonary Function Tests (IPFT) in Children with Airway Anomalies and Correlation with Bronchoscopy Findings
Authors: Pathania Amit , Jat Kana , Sankar Jhuma , LODHA RAKESH , Kabra Sushil
Published: July 2022

Introduction: For the diagnosis of airway anomalies,
bronchoscopy is the gold standard. Infant pulmonary function testing is
an emerging modality to assess airways and its utility in diagnosis and
monitoring is unexplored in clinical studies. Objectives: To
evaluate infant Pulmonary Function Test [Tidal Breathing Flow Volume
Loop (TBFVL)] in children with airway anomalies and to correlate with
bronchoscopy findings. Methods: We performed a prospective
cohort study from July 2018 to April 2020 in children from 0-2 years
with physician suspected airway anomalies. We performed TBFVL (graphic
pattern and parameters) and bronchoscopy in these children and
correlated the results. The primary outcome measure was a graphic
pattern of TBFVL in children with laryngomalacia. Secondary outcome
measures were bronchoscopy diagnosis of various airway anomalies,
graphic pattern in children with airway anomalies other than
laryngomalacia, measurement of TBFVL parameters and measurement of
change in TBFVL graphic patterns and parameters at six months follow up.
We compared TBFVL parameters with controls without airway anomalies.
Results: We enrolled 53 children with both Infant Pulmonary
Function Tests and bronchoscopy data. Isolated laryngomalacia (28,
52.8%) was the most common airway anomaly, followed by
laryngo-tracheomalacia (7, 13.2%), laryngo-tracheo-bronchomalacia (6,
11.3%), and laryngomalacia with subglottic stenosis (4, 7.5%). Among
isolated laryngomalacia, pattern 3 (fluttering of inspiratory limb) was
most common in TBFVL, followed by pattern 4 (fluttering of inspiratory
limb and flattening of expiratory limb) in 13 (46.4) and 8 (28.6%)
cases, respectively. There was no strikingly predominant pattern in
other groups of bronchoscopy diagnoses. Among TBFVL parameters, the
ratio of Ti/Te was significantly high in children with isolated
laryngomalacia compared to controls. Compared to controls, the tPTEF/tE
was significantly higher in laryngomalacia plus sub-glottic stenosis. At
six months of follow-up, clinical symptoms improved significantly, TBFVL
pattern 1 (normal) became the most common pattern, and expiratory time
increased significantly among TBFVL parameters. Conclusion: A
particular type of airway anomaly may have a characteristic graphic
pattern in TBFVL. Further, the TBFVL pattern may indicate improvement in
the follow-up either spontaneously or after an intervention.
Appendectomy during pregnancy: rates, safety, and outcomes over a five-year period. A hospital-based follow-up study
Authors: Lindqvist Pelle G. , Boström Lennart , Pettersson Hans , Sandblom Gabriel , Dahlberg Martin
Published: July 2022

Objective: To assess the outcome of pregnancy after appendectomy, the
mode of surgery used, appendectomy rates and complications. Design: A
prospective cohort study of pregnant women undergoing appendectomy.
Setting: All appendectomies at South Stockholm General Hospital,
December 2015 to February 2021. Population: Pregnant women undergoing
appendectomy. Methods: Data on preoperative imaging, surgical method,
intraoperative findings, microscopic findings, hospital stay, pregnancy,
and 30-day complications were prospectively recorded in a local
appendectomy register. Results: During the study period, 50 pregnant
women underwent appendectomy of 38 199 women giving birth. During the
same period 793 non-pregnant women underwent appendectomy and served as
controls. No differences in preterm delivery (4.5% vs. 5.6%),
small-for-gestational age (2.3% vs. 6.2%), or mode of delivery
(cesarean delivery 18.2% vs. 20.4%) were observed between pregnant
women with or without appendectomy. There were no cases of perforated
appendix in the second half of pregnancy. However, women with
gestational age > 20 weeks more frequently had an innocent
appendix compared to those operated < 20 gestational weeks
(4/11 vs. 2/39, p = 0.005). Laparoscopic surgery was used in 92% of
appendectomies < 20 weeks gestation. The appendectomy rate was
three times lower during the second half of pregnancy. Conclusion:
Appendicitis in pregnancy is not a threat as long as surgery is
conducted as soon as possible. Although a low threshold for surgery may
increase the risk of finding an innocent appendix, this is outweighed by
the lower risk for perforation and serious adverse events such as fetal
loss or preterm delivery.
Proposing Digital Design Methodology for Furniture Products by Integrating Generative Design Approach to Conventional process
Authors: ashraf shoaib
Published: July 2022

In a conventional furniture design process, the designer develops a
number of design alternatives by drawing two dimensional sketches and 3d
CAD models to start ideation and exploration. These ways of exploration
and conceptualization are sometimes tiring, time taking and complex.
Therefore, the designer is able to produce less output with limited
results. However, with recent advancements in design simulation,
visualization and modelling capabilities, the ways of design exploration
and conceptualization have changed. Technological transformations have
changed the entire product design and development process in the past
years. Today, parametric modeling techniques are changing the role of
CAD tools in the furniture design field. In comparison to the
conventional CAD tools (direct drafting and modeling techniques)
parametric and generative design techniques allow the designer to
rapidly and easily generate iterations, providing a flexible way to
explore and conceptualize innovative solutions based on specific
parameters. Considering the growing transformations this research aims
to explore the new language of design - generative design. The study
focuses on to integrate generative design and parametric modeling
techniques with conventional design process to develop a digital design
and development methodology for furniture products.
Comparison of aeolian desertification between the Moltsog dune field in Mongolia and Ujimqin dune field in China
Authors: Zifeng Wu , Hasi Eerdun , Wulantuya * , Chao Guan , Kesi Tang , Yin Jie , kang Jiang
Published: July 2022

Aeolian desertification is a severe ecological and environmental problem
in arid regions. Research on its temporal and spatial distribution,
development model, and driving force is necessary to prevent the
development of aeolian desertification. In this study, the Moltsog dune
field in Mongolia and the Ujimqin dune field in China were selected as
the study areas, as both contain dunes with similar natural conditions.
Using Landsat data from 1988, 1995, 2002, 2009, 2016, and 2020, the
spatial-temporal distribution and degree of development of aeolian
desertification in the two dune fields over the past 30 years were
compared. Two periods of high-resolution images were then used to
compare the surface morphological changes induced by aeolian
desertification in the dune fields. Climatic and socio-economic data of
the same period were used to compare and analyze the causes of changes
in aeolian desertification in these regions. The results show that: (1)
Over 30 years, the degree and development rate of aeolian
desertification in the Ujimqin dune field were generally higher than
those in the Moltsog dune field, and the former had a high degree of
fragmented aeolian desertification patches with an expanding range. (2)
The main form of aeolian desertification is the reactivation of fixed
dunes, which includes the development of blowouts on the flat grassland
under the influence of human activities in the Ujimqin dune field. (3)
The desertification in Moltsog is mainly affected by climatic factors,
while that in Ujimqin is mainly affected by human activities. The latter
is specifically affected by the high grazing intensity before 2000 and
increased mining activities after 2000. These findings provide a
reference for comparing the aeolian desertification process and
meaningful information for preventing and managing aeolian
desertification and enabling the sustainable development of dune fields
in arid regions.

Effects of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in cardiac surgery: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
Authors: Dost Burhan , Cassai Alessandro De , Balzani Eleonora , Tulgar Serkan , Ahiskalioglu Ali
Published: July 2022

Background and aim The objective of this systematic review and
network meta-analysis was to compare the effects of single-shot
ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques on postoperative opioid
consumption in patients undergoing open cardiac surgery.
Methods This systematic review and network meta-analysis
involved cardiac surgical patients (age >18 y) requiring
median sternotomy. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Central
Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Scopus, and Web of Science. The
effects of the single-shot ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia
technique were compared with those of placebo and no intervention.
Results The primary outcome was opioid consumption during the
first 24 h after surgery. The secondary outcomes were pain after
extubation at 12 and 24 h, postoperative nausea and vomiting, extubation
time, intensive care unit discharge time, and length of hospital stay.
Fifteen studies with 849 patients were included. The regional anesthesia
techniques included pecto-intercostal fascial block, transversus
thoracis muscle plane block, erector spinae plane (ESP) block, and
pectoralis nerve block I. All the regional anesthesia techniques
included significantly reduced postoperative opioid consumption at 24
hours, expressed as morphine milligram equivalents (MME). The ESP block
was the most effective treatment (-22.93 MME [-34.29;-11.56]).
Conclusions In this meta-analysis, we concluded that fascial
plane blocks were better than placebo when evaluating 24 hr MMEs.
However, it is still challenging to determine which is better, given the
paucity of studies available in the literature. More randomized
controlled trials are required to determine which regional anesthesia
technique is better.

This study aims to investigate the effects of art activities using wordless picture books on infants’ self-regulation and creativity. Participants consisted of twenty-eight 2-year-old infants who were going to 4 daycare in Gwangju metropolitan city. Fourteen infants belonged to the experimental group and fourteen infants to the comparative group. The experimental group conducted art activities using wordless picture books, and the comparative group carried out art activities according to the standard children curriculum. This study was conducted according to the process of choosing wordless picture books, training tester, pretest, teacher education, experiment, and post test. The experiment was carried out a total of 16 times for 8 weeks from the 28th of December in 2020 to the 19th of February in 2021. The results of this study showed that the self-regulation and creativity of the experimental group were improved meaningfully. That is to say, the scores of two sub factors of self-regulation and five sub factors of creativity of the experimental group were meaningfully higher than those of the comparative group. This result demonstrated that art activities using wordless picture books affected positively infants’ self-regulation and creativity. This study indicated that infants’ self-regulation and creativity could increase effectively through art activities using wordless picture books without a fixed story. It is significant that this study demonstrates teaching-learning activities to improve infants’ self-regulation and creativity effectively.

With the rapid development of network technology, network security problems are gradually increasing, and the network attack situation is very severe (Chen, Yanhua, Li, & Gao, 2019). In a complex attack scenario, timely detection of potential attack behaviours and timely identification and pre-judgment of attack intentions are important components of security risks. However, the attack behavior in the network presents complexity, multi-step and uncertainty, which brings new technical challenges to attack intent analysis. Aiming at the problem that the attack intention of multi-step complex attack is difficult to identify. Intrusion intention recognition is to interpret and judge the purpose, vision and intention of attackers through analyzing a large number of low-level alarm information, which is to give a reasonable explanation of a large number of attack data. This paper focuses on identifying attack intention in order to can determine the real purpose of attackers and predict the subsequent attack behavior, which is the premise and foundation of threat analysis and an important part of network security situation awareness.

Phone: +233244087207 ABSTRACT Email is a widely used communication channel between businesses and individuals. Its importance has increased a lot nowadays, and the majority of the businesses prefer email as their primary communication medium to contact other businesses. Billions of emails are exchanged between businesses on a daily basis, and it is essential to note that most of them also contain spam or viruses. It is estimated that in Africa over 1 billion people use mail for their various communications. Malicious actors have also observed the lucrative advantages associated with mail communications on unsuspecting victims. They are able to reach masses and this has played a major role in the recent trend of romance scammers syndicate. The egregious impact of these cyber offenses offered the need to introduce tools to help investigate the mail communications and reveal actions of malicious actors in cyber space, this will also assist Africa in decreasing its cybercrime rate especially among home users with no or limited cyber safety knowledge. The legal implications of using NET-Force for email tracing to reveal actions of malicious actors will be assessed in this document.

Biometrics have increasingly become most suited mechanisms for identification and authentication in the use of diverse technologies and systems. However, much they prove to be more robust than other identification and authentication mechanisms, there is also an upsurge with privacy and security concerns. With AI being at the forefront of our technological advancement, it has been to our advantage and also, somehow to our detriment. People are constantly deriving ways to either trick biometric sensors to crack and bypass these authentication protocols. The practice of these nefarious activities ranges from creating fake videos or images for spreading hate, political expediency, embarrassing celebrities etc. This paper seeks to delve to the nooks and crannies of the subject matter to provide a vivid understanding in this regard and also throws light on a few areas where there exists the need for more research.

The usage of digital technology in the digital forensic investigation has grown in tandem with the rising importance of technology today. Too many incidences of digital and physical crime which is the focus of the world nowadays. To gather the finest evidence and investigative outcomes, a digital forensic model must be established. This study included a review of the literature on digital forensics and models established in digital forensics. According to the findings, the majority of research involves broad inquiries and procedures that overlap. Furthermore, no model has been developed to design a systemic inquiry. In this study, we propose a methodology for digital forensic examination to address this issue. This model combines several of the previous models and adds some new variables that are relevant to the study.

When tackling and preventing crime, the analysis of mobile or tele phone data, particularly contacts and calls among crime actors plays a significant role in both civil and criminal cases. Forensic analyst and investigators are able to reconstruct illegal and suspicious activities between specific individuals on the basis of the relationships connecting those individuals. This paper discusses mobile / tele phone contacts and calls in forensic analysis. By analysing the contacts and call log data among individuals related to a criminal activity, forensic analysts and investigators get a proper perspective about a particular criminal network. It is worth mentioning that not all mobile phones are smartphones. But they all have the same ability to store the names and phone numbers as well as call logs. When dealing with a digital device such as a mobile phone, the method used to extract data from it must have little impact on the memory for the evidence to be admissible in court. As such, the methods used to acquire data from a mobile phone will play an important part in an investigation which requires evidence to be extracted from a mobile phone. The investigator must be sure that the information acquired actually reflects that which is stored in the phone, and that the procedures used do not adversely affect the integrity of the information, or any other data stored in the device (McCarthy, 2005). Mobile or tele phone contacts and call data is important to law enforcement in tracking illegal activities and providing evidence for dismissals or acquittals.
