Background

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by different protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Leishmania RNA virus (LRV) was identified as the first Leishmania infecting virus in 1998. Different studies showed the presence and role of the LRV in Leishmania parasites causing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). However, there is limited data on the pooled prevalence of LRV in Leishmania parasites causing CL. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the pooled prevalence of LRV in Leishmania parasite isolates and/or lesion biopsies in patients with CL from the available literature globally.

Methodology

We retrieved the studies from different electronic databases. The studies were screened and identified based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We excluded studies exclusively done in experimental animals and in vitro studies. The review was conducted in line with PRISMA guidelines. The meta-analysis was performed with Stata software version 14 with metan command. The forest plot with random-effect model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence with 95% confidence interval. Inverse variance index (I2) was used to assess the heterogeneity among the included articles.

Principal findings

A total of 1215 samples from 25 studies were included. Of these, 40.1% (487/1215) were positive for LRV. The overall pooled prevalence of LRV globally was 37.22% (95% CI: 27.54% - 46.90%). The pooled prevalence of LRV in the New World (NW) and Old World (OW) regions was 34.18% and 45.77%, respectively. Leishmania guyanensis, L. braziliensis, L. major, and L. tropica were the most studied species for the detection of LRV. The prevalence of LRV from Leishmania isolates and lesion biopsies was 42.9% (349/813) and 34.3% (138/402), respectively.

Conclusion

This systematic study revealed that there is high prevalence of LRV in Leishmania parasites isolated from patients with CL. More comprehensive studies would be required to investigate the presence of the LRV in other Leishmania species such as L. aethiopica to fully understand the role of LRV in different clinical manifestations and disease pathology presented in CL patients.

Published: June 2022

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) with cancer are at risk for developing sexual and reproductive problems; therefore, they have special needs. AYA with cancer treated in both pediatric and adult wards are a minority in Japan; thus, accumulating experience for supporting this unique patient population is difficult for nurses. Hence, this study aimed to clarify nurses’ perceptions on support for sexual and reproductive issues among AYA with cancer. A questionnaire survey was administered to nurses at designated cancer hospitals across Japan who had been working for at least 1 year in a department involved in the treatment or follow-up of patients aged 15–39 years. Nurses were asked regarding their perceptions on support for sexual and reproductive issues faced by AYA with cancer. A total of 865 nurses responded to this survey; nurses affiliated with adult departments, those with more experience in cancer nursing, those affiliated with cancer-related academic and professional societies, and certified nurse specialists or certified nurses significantly recognized insufficient support for sexual and reproductive issues. However, nurses were hesitant and found it difficult to intervene in such issues. Nurses recognized the importance of providing support for sexual and reproductive issues but faced difficulties in addressing them. They need to discuss these issues and improve the care provided to AYA with cancer.

Authors: Ravegnini Gloria , Ferioli Martina , Pantaleo Maria Abbondanza , Morganti Alessio G. , De Leo Antonio , De Iaco Pierandrea , Rizzo Stefania , Perrone Anna Myriam
Published: June 2022

Introduction

Uterine body cancers (UBC) are represented by endometrial carcinoma (EC) and uterine sarcoma (USa). The clinical management of both is hindered by the complex classification of patients into risk classes. This problem could be simplified through the development of predictive models aimed at treatment tailoring based on tumor and patient characteristics. In this context, radiomics represents a method of extracting quantitative data from images in order to non-invasively acquire tumor biological and genetic information and to predict response to treatments and prognosis. Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI) methods are an emerging field of translational research, with the aim of managing the amount of data provided by the various -omics, including radiomics, through the process of machine learning, in order to promote precision medicine.

Objective

The aim of this protocol for systematic review is to provide an overview of radiomics and AI studies on UBCs.

Methods and analysis

A systematic review will be conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library to collect papers analyzing the impact of radiomics and AI on UBCs diagnosis, prognostic classification, and clinical outcomes. The PICO strategy will be used to formulate the research questions: What is the impact of radiomics and AI on UBCs on diagnosis, prognosis, and clinical results? How could radiomics or AI improve the differential diagnosis between sarcoma and fibroids? Does Radiomics or AI have a predictive role on UBCs response to treatments? Three authors will independently screen articles at title and abstract level based on the eligibility criteria. The risk of bias and quality of the cohort studies, case series, and case reports will be based on the QUADAS 2 quality assessment tools.

Probiotics for Reduction of Examination Stress in Students (PRESS) study: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001
Authors: Slykerman Rebecca F. , Li Eileen , Mitchell Edwin A.
Published: June 2022

Background

Studies suggest that bioactive compounds such as probiotics may positively influence psychological health. This study aimed to determine whether supplementation with the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 reduced stress and improve psychological wellbeing in university students sitting examinations.

Methods

In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 483 undergraduate students received either the probiotic L. rhamnosus HN001, or placebo, daily during a university semester. Students completed measures of stress, anxiety, and psychological wellbeing at baseline and post-intervention before examinations. Mann Whitney U tests compared the change in psychological outcomes between groups.

Results

Of the 483 students, 391 (81.0%) completed the post-intervention questions. There was no significant difference between the probiotic and placebo supplemented groups in psychological health outcomes. The COVID19 pandemic restrictions may have influenced the typical trajectory of stress leading up to examinations.

Conclusion

We found no evidence of significant benefit of probiotics on the psychological health of university students. These findings highlight the challenges of conducting probiotic trials in human populations where the potential for contextual factors such as COVID19 response, and participant adherence to the intervention may influence results.
“I would have to sell things in order to get the money”: A qualitative exploration of willingness to pay for the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine in the Volta region, Ghana
Authors: Darkwa Sharon , de Wildt Gilles , Dalaba Maxwell , Vidzro Edem , Ansah Evelyn Korkor
Published: June 2022

Background

Malaria morbidity and mortality remain a challenge in Ghana. A promising childhood vaccine is being piloted in Ghana, however with the loss of its low-income status, Ghana is losing associated donor co-funding. User fees have been considered an alternative financing method, so this study utilised qualitative methods and explored caregivers’ willingness to pay for the malaria vaccine (RTS,S/AS01) to inform future service provision.

Methods

The study design was cross-sectional. Twenty in-depth interviews were conducted between February 2020 and March 2020 amongst a purposive sample of caregivers of RTS,S/AS01 eligible children, in the Volta region, Ghana. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed into English Language. Thematic analysis followed, using NVIVO12 to organise this data.

Results

Caregivers could distinguish between RTS,S/AS01 and routine vaccines and were willing to pay median GH₵5 (US$0.94), interquartile range GH₵3.75–5 (US$0.71–0.94) per dose of RTS,S/AS01. The maximum amount participants were willing to pay per dose was GH₵10 (US$1.88), interquartile range GH₵6–10 (US$1.13–1.88). Caregivers mentioned that they would work more to cover this cost because they were happy with services rendered to them during the RTS,S/AS01 pilot phase, and preferred vaccines over vector control measures. The results suggest that a willingness to pay was based on beliefs that the vaccine is fully effective. Although no participant declared that they would be unwilling to pay hypothetical user fees, there were still widespread concerns about affordability, with the majority feeling that the government should be responsible to pay for RTS,S/AS01.

Conclusions

Participants expressed a willingness to pay due to an appreciation of vaccines, shaped by personal experiences with immunisations and disease. Participants’ average income was lower than the national average, potentially affecting the perceived affordability of RTS,S/AS01. Because of the belief that RTS,S/AS01 is fully effective, caregivers may pay less attention to other preventative measures, thus unintentionally undermining malaria vector control.
Nurse evaluation of stress levels during CPR training with heart rate variability using smartwatches according to their personality: A prospective, observational study
Authors: Park Hye Ji , Choi Daun , Park Hang A. , Lee Choung Ah
Published: June 2022

Background

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a very critical phenomenon, and to prepare for it, most nurses undertake simulation training, during which learners’ stress levels should be managed. This study aims to evaluate nurses’ stress levels during CPR simulation training using heart rate variability (HRV) measured with a smartwatch and to determine the correlation between individual personality traits and stress levels.

Methods

This prospective observational study was conducted from July 2020 to December 2021. For nurses participating in advanced life support training with more than six months of clinical experience, their stress levels while performing as a CPR team leader were measured. Regarding stress levels, heart rate data measured with a smartwatch were processed using Kubios HRV Standard software to generate HRV parameters. The personality of participants was evaluated using the Big Five personality test. The degree of stress according to personality was determined using HRV parameters. Consequently, the correlation between personality and stress according to the clinical experience of cardiac arrest was analyzed.

Results

Of the 132 participants, 91.7% were female, and the median age of the sample was 27 years. Agreeable personality had the highest score (32.84±3.83). LF power (r = 0.18, p = 0.04) and HF power (r = 0.20, p = 0.02) showed a significant positive correlation with the agreeableness trait. In subgroup analysis according to the cardiac arrest experience, the agreeableness trait had a positive correlation with a standard deviation of NN intervals (r = 0.24, p = 0.01), root-mean-square of successive differences (r = 0.23, p = 0.02), LF Power (r = 0.26, p = 0.01), and HF power (r = 0.23, p = 0.02), but a negative correlation with mean HR (r = -0.22, p = 0.03).

Conclusion

The clinical experience in cardiac arrest and agreeableness were related to acute stress during training. In the future, it is necessary to apply a scenario of a level suitable for individual personality and experience, and evaluate the level and achievement of students.

Slaughterhouses are a key source of bacterial contamination in poultry meat and products, which is a major health and economic concern for several public authorities. This study aimed to quantify the non-compliance of bacterial contamination on chicken meat sampled from slaughterhouses and identify risk factors associated with the contamination. A questionnaire survey of 569 chicken slaughterhouses was undertaken and 1,707 meat samples were collected to determine the level of bacterial contamination. The proportion of the non-compliance associated with aerobic plate count [APC] (24.6%), Staphylococcus aureus (6.3%), Enterococcus spp. (24.7%), coliforms (13.5%), Escherichia coli (33.3%), and Salmonella spp. (33.4%) based on the livestock authorities’ criteria was determined. Our results highlighted that the scalding process without scalding water temperature control or improper scalding increased the risk of APC (odds ratio, OR = 4.84, 95% CI: 2.72–8.61), S. aureus (OR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.29–5.55), Enterococcus spp. (OR = 3.38, 95% CI: 2.01–5.69), coliforms (OR = 3.01, 95% CI: 1.47–6.15), and E. coli (OR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.58–4.56) contamination on meat samples. Meat from eviscerated carcasses was more likely to be non-compliance due to contamination by E. coli (OR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.14–3.38). Furthermore, open or semi-closed system slaughterhouses (OR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.23–2.60) and lack of equipment for specific slaughtering areas (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.04–2.61) increased the likelihood of Salmonella spp. occurrence. This is the first study of factors influencing the non-compliance of meat samples across Thailand. Authorities can use the study findings to enhance food safety strategies at the national level.
Evidence for a novel, effective approach to targeting carcinoma catabolism exploiting the first-in-class, anti-cancer mitochondrial drug, CPI-613
Authors: Guardado Rivas Moises O. , Stuart Shawn D. , Thach Daniel , Dahan Michael , Shorr Robert , Zachar Zuzana , Bingham Paul M.
Published: June 2022

Clinical targeting of the altered metabolism of tumor cells has long been considered an attractive hypothetical approach. However, this strategy has yet to perform well clinically. Metabolic redundancy is among the limitations on effectiveness of many approaches, engendering intrinsic single-agent resistance or efficient evolution of such resistance. We describe new studies of the multi-target, tumor-preferential inhibition of the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle by the first-in-class drug CPI-613® (devimistat). By suppressing the TCA hub, indispensable to many metabolic pathways, CPI-613 substantially reduces the effective redundancy of tumor catabolism. This TCA cycle suppression also engenders an apparently homeostatic accelerated, inefficient consumption of nutrient stores in carcinoma cells, eroding some sources of drug resistance. Nonetheless, sufficiently abundant, cell line-specific lipid stores in carcinoma cells are among remaining sources of CPI-613 resistancein vitroand during thein vivopharmacological drug pulse. Specifically, the fatty acid beta-oxidation step delivers electrons directly to the mitochondrial electron transport system (ETC), by-passing the TCA cycle CPI-613 target and producing drug resistance. Strikingly, tested carcinoma cell lines configure much of this fatty acid flow to initially traverse the peroxisome enroute to additional mitochondrial beta-oxidation. This feature facilitates targeting as clinically practical agents disrupting this flow are available. Two such agents significantly sensitize an otherwise fully CPI-613-resistant carcinoma xenograftin vivo. These and related results are strong empirical support for a potentially general class of strategies for enhanced clinical targeting of carcinoma catabolism.
Pilot study to explore the use of mobile spaced learning as a digital learning platform when teaching symptom management to undergraduate nursing students: SPLENdidS study
Authors: Mc Veigh Clare , Carlisle Susan , Birch Matt , Ace Lindsay , Oliver Christine , Kerr Helen
Published: June 2022

Background

The management of patients’ holistic symptom needs are often complex and challenging. The education needs of undergraduate nursing students must be optimally addressed to have a significant positive impact on patient care. Mobile spaced learning has been recognised as a form of online education which can provide a novel approach to delivering effective evidence based healthcare education to undergraduate students.

Objective

The objective of this pilot study was to explore the experiences of undergraduate nursing students in a university setting, of using mobile spaced learning as a digital platform for symptom management education.

Method

This pilot study used a mixed methods approach. Online spaced learning material, which utilised both case based scenarios and multiple choice questions, was delivered to first year undergraduate nursing students over a period of 2 weeks. Participants were then invited to participate in an online survey related to the usability of mobile spaced learning. A focus group was conducted to further explore the participants’ views.

Result

Findings conveyed that students viewed mobile spaced learning as an acceptable platform that enhanced both their learning and their ability to transfer knowledge into clinical practice.

Conclusion

Implementation of a digital spaced learning intervention would be acceptable to undergraduate nursing students learning about holistic symptom management. Further research is needed to explore the feasibility of implementing this intervention within the undergraduate nursing curriculum, and also to explore the impact on long-term knowledge retention.

El homo europeus. ¿Imposible sujeto cultural de una democracia europea?
Authors: Ehret Peter
Published: June 2022

El monismo del Estado nación sigue dominando la discusión sobre la democracia europea. La teoría política no toma en consideración a la europeización de las identidades nacionales porque todavía no ha superado su dependencia del concepto del Estado-nación. La exitosa integración de la sociedad individualizada y fragmentada en la época moderna no dio lugar a considerar otras alternativas al sujeto político nacional, lo que llevó a justificar la democracia mediante la homogeneización cultural. De esta forma, se descartaron modelos que operaban con la relativización cultural en el Estado constitucional. Esto no sólo nos habría permitido plantear la democracia más allá del Estado-nación, sino que también se pierde la oportunidad de pensar un demos europeo. Sin embargo, una vía alternativa la encontramos consecutivamente en Ferguson, Hegel y Simmel. Su premisa: el «refinamiento», la identidad cultural a raíz de la «eticidad» propia de un Estado racional, corresponde con la evolución de las identidades nacionales observada en el contexto de la integración europea. Esto abre el paradigma nacional de la democracia al demos europeo. La recuperación de estos tres autores puede servir para solucionar el déficit democrático de la Unión Europea, ya que nos capacita para detectar la existencia de una esfera pública transeuropea y comprender su relación con los respectivos discursos nacionales. Estas conclusiones facilitan la justificación de reformas institucionales para completar las democracias nacionales con una arena europea donde queda reflejada la nueva realidad social e institucional. Esto significa ir más allá del vigente sistema de la Unión Europea, ya que una democracia europea implicaría la conversión de la actual ciudadanía europea en una serie de derechos propios de un sujeto político.

The areas of data science and data engineering have experienced strong advances in recent years. This has had a particular impact in areas such as healthcare, where, as a result of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, technological development has accelerated. This has led to a need to produce solutions that enable the collection, integration and efficient use of information for decision making scenarios. This is evidenced by the proliferation of monitoring, data collection, analysis, and prediction systems aimed at controlling the pandemic. This article proposes a hybrid model that combines the dynamics of epidemiological processes with the predictive capabilities of artificial neural networks to go beyond the prediction of the first ones. In addition, the system allows for the introduction of additional information through an expert system, thus allowing the incorporation of additional hypotheses on the adoption of containment measures.

Faulty Spelling and Punctuation as the Main Feature of Spelling of the Russian language at the Beginning of the XXI century
Authors: Nikolenkova Natalya
Published: June 2022

The article examines the current spelling trends, which many linguists, especially specialists in the culture of speech, consider dangerous in terms of preserving the norms of the Russian literary language and, first of all, the norms of spelling and punctuation. The rapid growth of illiterate spelling causes general dissatisfaction, however, the analysis of appearance of such spelling from linguistic angle has not been carried out. While grammar mistakes have already become the subject of analysis by linguists, only extralinguistic criticism applies to spelling literacy. In this article, the author tries to combine linguistic and extralinguistic factors and determine the causes of mass deviations from spelling and punctuation norms of the Russian language today. Much attention is paid to the importance of philologists’ activity, whose purpose is to define the reasons of use recommended rules of spelling by a common person.

The Educational Implications of Ernst Cassirer's Philosophy of Symbolic Forms
Authors:   Center For Educational Research, Jo Young-Eun
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study examined Ernst Cassirer's study of human beings in the present era where human identity has become more confusing than ever before. This was caused by advances in science and technology that penetrated into specific areas of human life, along with the 4th industrial revolution and the COVID-19 pandemic. By re-illuminating this study with an educational focus, the researcher attempted to explore the direction of desirable education practices in the future.
Methods: By focusing on 『An Essay on Man』 and 『The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, Volume 1-3』 among Cassirer’s works, the long-standing definition of man as a rational animal is questioned, and the process of human consciousness development as a symbolic animal is explored in language, mythology, and science. In response to the three symbolic forms, the characteristics of each were examined.
In particular, the emphasis was placed on revealing educational implications from the characteristic of human thought called 'symbols'.
Results: As a philosopher, Ernst Cassirer explored the uniqueness of humans by defining humans as symbolic animals. In addition, he utilized an indirect way to reveal the essence of human culture, starting from the premise that human existence can be known through culture created by humans. Symbolic form is the form of knowledge that humans acquire toward the world, and the symbolic form conceived by Cassirer appears through cultural forms such as mythology, religion, language, science, art, and history.
Through them, human beings can communicate with their internal and external sides and achieve a synthesis between the world and the mind.
Conclusion: Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms is in line with constructivist learning theory, which recognizes learning as an active process of constructing meaning on the basis of each learner’s experience. In addition, symbols can promote growth simultaneously through the learning community beyond the individual level by contributing to the cultivating of the spirit.
REDE DE CONVENCIMENTO: A DIFUSÃO TECNOLÓGICA DO AGRONEGÓCIO EM MATO GROSSO
Authors: Da Silva Edmilson José
Published: June 2022

Atendendo ao chamamento de um projeto modernizador, o cerrado brasileiro passou por uma profunda modificação do processo produtivo no campo, sobretudo a partir de 1970, momento no qual, políticas de colonização e integração nacional passam a reger as novas relações sociais e orquestrar o deslocamento populacional para áreas antes consideradas como “espaços vazios”. O objetivo deste artigo é refletir acerca das redes de poder que envolvem os processos de difusão tecnológica agrícola e os processos de convencimento na adoção dessas novas tecnologias destinadas ao agronegócio. No estado de Mato Grosso, a especialização produtiva no campo ligada ao agribusiness e, consequentemente, às leis de mercado, acabam por criar conflitos diversos no campo e na luta pelo poder em diferentes escalas da sociedade. Sendo assim, o trabalho realizado, buscando respostas a este cenário, vê na difusão tecnológica um poderoso instrumento de persuasão e convencimento, cristalizado pelo alto padrão dos eventos técnicos e pelas feiras de tecnologia voltadas à moderna produção agrícola.

Authors: Castelhano Francisco Jablinski , Pinto Josefa Eliane Santana de Siqueira
Published: June 2022

O centro de Aracaju, capital do estado de Sergipe, nordeste brasileiro, apresenta características típicas de grandes cidades, como verticalização, ausência de áreas verdes e excesso de veículos, concentrando comércio e serviços, constituindo problemas e riscos inerentes à vida urbana. Situado como um dos principais problemas ambientais urbanos, a poluição atmosférica se posiciona como um fenômeno multicausal, tendo sua intensidade e abrangência relacionada com aspectos geográficos como o clima e o planejamento urbano. O presente trabalho apresenta uma análise geográfica da qualidade do ar na cidade de Aracaju. Apesar de suas características, um sistema de monitoramento da qualidade do ar é inexistente, dificultando o monitoramento e tomadas de decisão. Tal análise foi realizada a partir de coletas de monóxido de carbono (CO), realizada por meio de sensores eletroquímicos programados junto à plataforma ARDUINO, e medida de forma móvel, com auxílio de bicicletas.  A coleta foi organizada durante o mês de fevereiro de 2019, durante três dias, abrangendo o centro e entorno da capital sergipana. Os resultados expõem a influência da verticalização e do uso do solo sobre os níveis de CO, bem como sua intima relação com a brisa marinha promovendo contribuições científicas para o embasamento de políticas públicas.
argumento del lenguaje privado en Wittgenstein y algunas de sus repercusiones filosóficas
Authors: Navia Ricardo J.
Published: June 2022

Resúmen: Este trabajo se propone mostrar la articulación y la marcha argumentativa de lo que en general se ha reconstruido como el "argumento con el lenguaje privado". Comienza mostrando el análisis que Wittgenstein hace de los dos errores básicos que estarían en la base de la creencia en la posibilidad de un lenguaje privado: que las palabras adquieren significado por ostención y que la experiencia humana es esencialmente privada. A partir de allí muchas de las concepciones clásicas sobre la experiencia, la certeza, la duda y la naturaleza del conocimiento comienzan a alterarse. Algunos de los problemas centrales de la filosofia del conocimiento parecen desmontarse.
 
Abstract: This paper aims to show the stucture and the argumentation track of what is generally reconstrued as the "argument against a private language". Firstly, it presents the analysis made by Wittgenstein about two errors to be found supporting the belive in the possibility of a private language, namely, that the words get their meaning trough ostension, and that human experience is essentially private. Therefrom, much of the classic believes about experience, certainty, doubt, and the nature of knowledge began to change. Some of the main problems of the philosophy of knowledge seem to be thereby removed.

Published: June 2022

Critical Theory, especially of the Frankfurt School variant, is one of the theoretical and methodological lenses used quite often by contemporary Islamic thinkers. One thinker who is explicit in his adoption and adaptation of the thinking of the Frankfurt School is Fawzia Gilani-Williams who proposes an "Islamic Critical Theory". This article responds to her thought and at the same time departs from it to explore further the acceptance of this neo-Marxist thought in the discourse developed by Muslim intellectuals. At the same time, this article provides a response to the Islamization project of this idea, but also shows that at the most basic critical point, there is a parallelism between the Islamic ideals and the ideological ideals of the Frankfurt School Critical Theory.

Conception of Islam in the Religious Study (The Analysis of W.C Smith’s Thought)
Authors: Wathoni Imamul
Published: June 2022

Wilfred Cantwell Smith is one of scholars of religion who tries to compose a concept with vague delineation related to Islam as religion. It is in essence much related to the word piety, in turn related much to Iman as instrument through which human grasps the consciousness and fact of God, manifested in Submission to His will. Smith starts by deconstructing religion both as a term and concept, including Islam as species of religion. What is understood as religion is basically nothing on earth, and yet the phenomena of religiousness is easy to discover, namely as response to the Divinity. Such understanding is referred to personal and individual experience. Smith, therefore, understands Islam as self-entity and distinguishable from other, emphasized on several meanings of Islam, 1. Islam is personal submission (in the form of verbal noun, it is ideal and true sense), 2. Islam which is embodied in community (it is refied sense from sociological lens produced by cumulative tradition), 3. Islam in terms of institutionalism that its adherents refer to, be manifested in al-Qur’an and al-Hadits through which its name and all teaching come into being (since it is the fruit of cumulative tradition which adheres to historical process, it is therefore mundane).
SPIRITUALITAS DALAM PERSPEKTIF TASAWUF DAN NEUROSAINS: RELASI KOMPLEMENTER ATAU KOMPARTEMEN?
Authors: Waliyuddin Muhammad Naufal
Published: June 2022

Academic debates about spirituality have been going on for a long time with varied narratives. Sufism, as one who also discussed it, presents a view of spirituality in terms of Islamic metaphysics and meta-psychological understanding in the paradigm of interconnection between creation and the Creator. Meanwhile, Neuroscience, as a new science developed from the findings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) regarding the nerve function of the human brain, presents a different view and tends to be rational, logical, and materialistic. This paper is a comparative study that discusses how the two sciences describe their explanations of spirituality. This literature research observes a number of relevant references, the latest research results, some debates in several forums, and then dissects it using critical discourse analysis. The results obtained indicate that there is a contradictory explanation on the one hand or a (separate) compartment between the meaning of spirituality in the Sufism perspective and the Neuroscience point of view. On the opposite side, there are several research efforts that elaborate spirituality in Sufism to have a complementary relationship (complementary) with Neuroscience. Even so, there is a kind of narrative impression that forces the concept of spirituality according to Neuroscience to support the conception of spirituality in the view of Sufism. As a follow-up discussion regarding this matter, it can be seen that there is a kind of research tendency that is testimonial and seeks confirmation of the initial assumptions of their research and builds arguments based on their tastes of knowledge.
Solusi Filsafat Jiwa Sadra Pada Problem Paradoks dan Implikasi Onto-Epistemik Transhumanisme Nick Bostrom
Authors: Rahman Fadhlu
Published: June 2022

This study aims to examine and provide a solution to Nick Bostrom's onto-epistemic theoretical consistency problem of transhumanism which is considered to have a conceptual paradox and its implications for the basic concepts of transhumanism which consists of three pillars, namely: superintelligence, superlongevity, and super wellbeing. The testing and solutions that will be given are carried out through one of the major themes of the discourse on the relation of soul and body and the process of perfection in the tradition of Islamic philosophy. One form of mature philosophical discourse is in the Sadra’s philosophy of Soul. Therefore, the writer wants to describe the ontological and epistemological foundations of Bostrom's transhumanism as well as the Sadra’s philosophy of soul, and look at the paradoxes and onto-epistemic implications of the three pillars of transhumanism based on Sadra's view by descriptive and comparative analysis methods. In previous studies on the issue of transhumanism and the philosophy of the soul, Sadra still only focused on the description of each of these two issues. In addition, the study of this issue (transhumanism) focuses on the problem of its metaphysical basis by a western philosophical approach, so, this study wants to analyze it from the perspective of Islamic philosophy which is considered authoritative as the basis for studying metaphysical issues in the onto-epistemic context of transhumanism. I find that his onto-epistemic assumptions include; first, its dualism of epiphenomenalism as the basis of ontology necessitates the impossibility of matter having direct access to immaterial states of the self, while its limitations cannot create the perfection that Bostrom intended; and the second, his scientism as the basis of his epistemology require perfection that is not comprehensive and holistic, from the results of the analysis, I assesses that Bostrom's metaphysical assumptions are problematic both in terms of coherence and correspondence on the pillars of his transhumanism, and Sadra’s philosophical thought provides a solution in the form of the onto-epistemic basis for his soul philosophy and the process of perfecting in the problem of the fragility of Bostrom's Transhumanism ideas which can then provide the ideal form of the perfect human that Bostrom assumes.

Melacak Skeptisisme dalam Islam Klasik
Authors: Syarifuddin Syarifuddin
Published: June 2022

The skepticism referred to in this paper is different from the skepticism commonly known in ancient Greece. Skepticism in Islam is never isolated, but rather is a key reference point where theological questions are debated endlessly. For centuries, Muslim scholars have faced puzzling questions of a theological and philosophical nature. Their inability to answer such questions requires a paradigm shift in a new approach to religious thought. This research is intended to track how skepticism is in classical Islam, by using descriptive methods as well as historical analysis. In this study, it was found that skepticism in classical Islam became an approach in scientific and religious studies as well as a tool for scientific discipline systems test, even though skepticism was not fully institutionalized or became a form of flow. Previously, the study of skepticism in classical Islam was only limited to the thoughts of one figure, so this paper takes several case studies of figures. Skepticism in classical Islamdivided into four periods, starting from the ninth century to the twelfth century. The ninth century was marked by debates about the position of God by anthropomorphic groups with the Jahmiyah. The tenth century was marked by debates and mutual claims of truth between religions. The eleventh century was marked by al-Ghazali's critics on philosophers. Then the twelfth century was marked by Ibn Taimiyah's critics on logic, Christianity and Sufism.
