The Characteristics of Tafsir Al-Mizan by Thabathaba'iy
Authors: Wahid Abdul , Ibrahim Mazlan
Published: February 2023

Tafsir al-Mizan is known as one of the main tafsir books among the Shi'a scholars. However, the book is read and analyzed by groups other than Shi'a scholars. Sunni scholars, too, use this tafsir book to help them understand the verses of the Quran. This article will explore the factors that make al-Mizan's interpretation accepted by Sunni scholars and examine the characteristics of the book of Tafsir al-Mizan, such as the method of interpretation, the style of interpretation, and the scholars of interpretation. This study showed that the interpreter is an adherent of the Shi'a Itsna Ashariah scholars, so some of his interpretations tend toward Shi'a thought in certain matters, such as the issue of the imamate. However, in general, this interpretation is not only a reference for adherents and the Shi'a scholars but is also used as reading material by Muslims of the Sunni scholars. The specialty of the interpretation lies in the strength of the interpreter who displays it, which is primarily derived from the Qur'an itself. As a scholar with a great soul, he took many sources of interpretation from previous books of tafsir, even from scholars other than Shi'a. As for the source of the interpretation of the hadith, it comes more from the books of hadith among the Shi'a.
Variety of Expressions of Arrogance in The Qur’an
Authors: Zaini Muhammad
Published: February 2023

The problem in this paper is the number of expressions used by the Qur'an to refer to the word arrogant, namely takabburan, marahan, 'uluwwan, 'utuwwan, ashiru, jabbāran, and mukhtālan, which are different expressions in terms of words but have the same meaning, namely arrogance. This raises the question, "What is the difference between these different expressions?" The discussion in this paper employs the tafsir mawdhu'i method, with library research, to collect verses of the Qur'an that have the same meaning in the sense that they both discuss one topic of the problem. The data used are verses of the Qur'an, books of Tafsir, the Arabic Dictionary, Mu'jam, and secondary sources in the form of books by several scholars. Furthermore, the author provides information and explanations before concluding. The results of the study of the words are that the six words in question have meanings that are almost the same as one another but with different contexts and purposes. Takabburan is the arrogance of man towards Allah by not believing and bowing down to Allah. 'Uluwwan is the arrogance of man on earth, manifested by committing injustice. 'Marahan is being arrogant while walking, or walking with pride. The word mukhtālan is the same as delusion, the feeling that one has advantages (such as wealth) over others, turning one's face and cheeks away when talking to others. The word jabbāran refers to being proud of one's parents and not being devoted to them. The phrase takabburān occurs 48 times, the phrase 'uluwwan occurs 8 times, the phrase jabbāran occurs 3 times, the phrase mukhtālan occurs 3 times, the phrase marahan occurs 2 times, and the phrase asyiru occurs 2 times.
Development of the Nagham Qur’an
Authors: Suarni Suarni
Published: February 2023

Al-Qur'an was revealed by Allah SWT in Arabic, which has a very beautiful language structure. To understand the meaning contained therein, the Qur'an must be read well and correctly. Reading the Qur'an well and correctly is inseparable from the reading rules contained in the science of tajweed. In addition, the Prophet also recommended reading the Qur'an with a good and beautiful voice. Because one of the elements of the perfection of the Qur'an is reading it well and beautifully. In the current context, reading the Qur'an in a good and beautiful way can also be termed nagham Qur'an or known as the art of reading the Qur'an. But in this case, the term is not fully applied by Qur'an readers. This causes some Qur'anic readers to ignore the rules of Qur'anic recitation. Referring to these problems, nagham Qur'an and the history of its development presumably require a special study, with the focus of the study being on the meaning of nagham and the history of its development. The method used in explaining this study is a qualitative method with an analytical, descriptive approach. Based on the focus of the study, the term nagham has the same meaning as talhin and tarannum, namely, reading the Qur'an with a beautiful voice while still applying the rules of tajweed. Reading the Qur'an with nagham began with the Prophet Muhammad and has been carried on by his companions and subsequent generations.
Muhammad Quraish Shihab’s Methodology in Interpretation of The Qur'an
Authors: Aiyub Aiyub , Mutia Isna
Published: February 2023

One of Prof. Dr. Muhammad Quraish Shihab's books on archipelago interpretation is titled Tafsir al-Misbah and was authored in Indonesian. It took almost four years to complete, from 1999 to 2002. This interpretation book has added a treasure of interpretation in the Archipelago.  It needs to be examined because its author is an expert on interpretation in Indonesia. Besides, he is one of the contemporary scholars. Therefore, this study examines the author’s personality of al-Misbah interpretation book and examines its methodology in interpreting Qur’an, whether he uses the methodology of al-Ma'thur, al-Ra'y or al-Isyari in terms of sources the reference, or he uses the tahlili, al-muqarrin, al-Ijmali and al-Maudhu'i methods in terms of delivery. This article also seeks to ascertain the author's preferred method of interpretation, such as al-Fiqhi, al-adab al-Lughawi, al-adab al-Ijtima'i, etc. This study, which employs library technique, discovers that the al-Ma'thur and al-ra'yi methods, which are excellent for referencing, are used in this commentary book, whereas the tahlili method is used for delivery. It leans toward the interpretation of al-Adab al-Ijtima'i. This interpretation excels in discussing both language and the munasabah (appropriateness of the arrangement) of verses and surahs in the Qur'an.

Published: February 2023

Basil leaf (Ocimum sanctum Linn) are known to have the ability as natural larvicides because there are various compounds including tannins, eugenol, flavonoids, essential oils, hexauronic acid, saponins, pentose, xylose, metal homocytic acid, mulludistin, ursolic acid and methyl clavical. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of basil leaf extract (O. sanctum Linn) on mortality of Aedes agypti larvae. This research is a true experimental type with posttest only with control group design. Aedes aegypti larvae obtained from Balitbangkes Banjarnegara were used in this study as many as 450 larvae. This study consisted of 6 groups with 2 control groups (positive control/temefos 1% and negative control/distilled water) and 4 other groups receiving treatment with basil leaf extract concentrations of 1.5%, 1.8%, 2.1%, and 2.4%. Each group contained 25 larvae of Ae. aegypti with three repetitions and observation time with 10th, 40th, 60th, 120th, 240, 720, and 1440 minute intervals. Larval mortality of Ae. aegypti occurred from the 120th minute with a concentration of 2.4% with a mortality percentage of 5.6%. The results of the Kruskal Wallis test showed that there were differences in the mortality of Ae. aegypti at 60, 120, 240, 720, and 1440 minutes. The LC50 value was 2.329% at 720 minutes while the LC90 test was 7.043% at 720 minutes. Basil leaf extract has not been effective as a larvicide because mortality occurred from the 120th minute.

Published: February 2023

The continuous use of synthetic larvacides as an effort to control the vector mosquito population of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) can cause negative impacts on the environment and humans. Bioactive compounds from animals and plants can be used as an alternative to natural larvacides (biolarvacides). Mangrove species Sonneratia alba and Avicennia alba are known to have several bioactive types, so they are potential as biolarvacides. This study aimed to determine the potential of S. alba and A. alba leaf extracts as biolarvacides against Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae. This research was true experimental with a post-test-only group design. The larvicidal toxicity test of the leaf extracts of S. alba and A. alba against Ae. aegypti larvae to obtain the LC50 value was carried out by treating the extract concentrations at 500 ppm, 1,000 ppm, and 1,500 ppm. Synthetic larvicide (abate) was used as a positive control and Aquadest as a negative control. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and statistically (probit analysis). The results showed that the leaf extracts of S. alba and A. alba had potential as biolarvacides. Based on the LC50 value, the extracts of A. alba (LC50: 1,053 ppm) were more potent as biolarvacides than the extracts of S. alba (LC50: 14,112 ppm). Physical damage and behavioral changes in mosquito larvae movement indicated that the toxicity of A. alba leaf extract was acute while that of S. alba leaf extract was chronic.

The utilization of cyclobutanones as the synthon in transition metal
catalysis has been made great success. Because C(carbonyl)−C bond of
cyclobutanones can be cleaved through strain release. Despite those
advancements, the main catalysts in literature are Rh catalysts or Ni
catalysts and the reaction with C–H bond is still underdeveloped.
Herein, we realized the first palladium-catalyzed skeletal
reorganisation of cyclobutanones invoving successive cleavage of
C(carbonyl)−C bonds and C−H bond cleavage, which con-stitutes an rapid
access to diverse indanones.
The Combination of S⋯N and S⋯Cl Noncovalently Conformational Locks for Constructing High-Planarity and Low-Cost Non-fused-Ring Electron Acceptors

Published: February 2023

By employing thiazole and 4-chlorothiazole as the A′ units, two
A-D-A′-D-A type nonfused-ring electron acceptors (NFREAs) Tz-H
and Tz-Cl were designed and synthesized. Replacing thiazole in
Tz-H with 4-chlorothiazole can not only remarkably shorten the
synthetic route through C-H direct arylation but also enhance molecular
planarity with the simultaneous incorporation of S···N and S···Cl
non-covalently conformational locks (NoCLs). The photovoltaic devices
based on PM6:Tz-Cl exhibited a power conversion efficiency as
high as 11.10%, much higher than that of PM6:Tz-H (6.41%),
mainly due to more efficient exciton dissociation, better and more
balanced carrier mobility, less charge recombination, and more favorable
morphology. These findings demonstrate the great potential of NoCLs in
achieving low-cost and high-performance NFREAs.

Reliably scoring and ranking candidate models of protein complexes and
assigning their oligomeric state from the structure of the crystal
lattice represent outstanding challenges. A community-wide effort was
launched to tackle these challenges. The latest resources on protein
complexes and interfaces were exploited to derive a benchmark dataset
consisting of 1677 homodimer protein crystal structures, including a
balanced mix of physiological and non-physiological complexes. The
non-physiological complexes in the benchmark were selected to bury a
similar or larger interface area than their physiological counterparts,
making it more difficult for scoring functions to differentiate between
them. Next, 252 functions for scoring protein-protein interfaces
previously developed by 13 groups were collected and evaluated for their
ability to discriminate between physiological and non-physiological
complexes. A simple consensus score generated using the best performing
score of each of the 13 groups, and a cross-validated Random Forest (RF)
classifier were created. Both approaches showed excellent performance,
with an area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve of
0.93 and 0.94 respectively, outperforming individual scores developed by
different groups. Additionally, AlphaFold2 engines were shown to recall
the physiological dimers with significantly higher accuracy than the
non-physiological set, lending support for the pertinence of our
benchmark dataset. Optimizing the combined power of interface scoring
functions and evaluating it on challenging benchmark datasets appears to
be a promising strategy.

Twenty-year follow-up of functional treatment with a bionator appliance (part 2): a retrospective cephalometric analysis of skeletal and dentoskeletal changes
Authors: Jungbauer Rebecca , Bock Niko C. , Schmid Alois , Proff Peter , Rudzki Ingrid
Published: February 2023

Objectives

To investigate skeletal and dentoskeletal changes 20 years after bionator treatment.

Materials and Methods

Analog lateral cephalograms of 18 subjects treated with a bionator appliance during growth were digitized with a transmitted light scanner. Inclusion criteria were: increased overjet (≥4 mm), skeletal Class II, available lateral cephalograms before (T0), after (T1), and 20 years after (T2) treatment with only a Bionator. To assess standard cephalometric parameters, the software ivoris analyze was used. Data were analyzed using Friedman's two-way analysis of variance by ranks followed by Dunn's post hoc tests (P ≤ .05).

Results

During therapy (T0–T1), ANB decreased significantly by 1.9° and remained unchanged long term. SNA slightly decreased (−0.6°) during treatment, SNB and SNPg increased (+1.4°, +1.7°). All three parameters showed a significant increase at T2 (+1.2°, +1.6°, +1.6°). Vertical measurements (ML-NL, ML-NSL, NL-NSL) remained almost unchanged during therapy. NL-NSL also was unchanged during the long-term interval; ML-NSL and ML-NL decreased significantly (−3.4°, −4.9°). During treatment, the maxillary incisors retroclined (OK1-NL: −1.6°, OK1-NA: −0.6°), the mandibular incisors proclined (UK1-ML: +3.5°, UK1-NB: +4.9°), neither significantly. Long term, there was a nonsignificant tendency toward proclination of upper (OK1-NL: +0.1°, OK1-NA: +0.7°) and retroclination of lower incisors (UK1-ML: −1.5°, UK1-NB: −5°).

Conclusions

Changes of ANB after bionator treatment without additional fixed appliances remained stable after 20 years. The observed long-term changes are probably consequences of well-known physiological and age-related processes.
Causes of the Evidence-practice Gap and Its Association with the Effects of Minimal Intervention Dentistry Education to Clinicians
Authors: Yokoyama Y , Kakudate N , Sumida F , Matsumoto Y , Gordan VV , Gilbert GH
Published: February 2023

Objectives

To identify causes of the evidence-practice gap (EPG) in dentistry in Japan and analyze whether these causes are associated with: (a) improvement of EPG in minimal intervention dentistry (MID) following an educational intervention and (b) specific dentist characteristics.

Methods

We conducted a mixed-methods questionnaire survey among 197 Japanese dentists that integrated both quantitative and qualitative data. Causative factors for the EPG identified in the quantitative survey were clarified by qualitative analysis. We measured the EPG in a baseline survey using an EPG measurement tool based on MID. To examine how feedback using the latest scientific evidence affected change in the EPG, we measured the EPG again immediately after feedback was provided to participating dentists.

Results

Qualitative analysis classified all dentists into one of four “EPG cause” groups, namely “evidence-”, “dentist-”, “patient-”, and “health insurance system-related” causes. Quantitative analysis confirmed that improvement in the EPG following the feedback intervention was indeed associated with group classification. The highest concordance was found for the “evidence-related” group while the lowest concordance was in the “dentist-related” group (p=0.004). Concordance improved after evidence feedback in all groups but was lowest in the “dentist-related” group. More dentists reported practice busyness in the “dentist-related” group.

Conclusions

In this study, we identified four groups of causes of EPG among Japanese dentists. The degree of concordance between evidence and clinical practice was the lowest in the “dentist-related” group, and the results of this study are expected to provide useful information for the development of intervention methods for closing the EPG in the future.

Authors: Grangeiro MTV , Demachkia AM , Rodrigues CS , Inagati CM , Gonçalves NMF , Tanaka IV , Rossi NR , Bottino MA
Published: February 2023

Purpose

This study investigated the microshear bond strength between a resin cement and a translucent zirconia subjected to multiple characterization firings.

Methods and Materials

5Y-PSZ zirconia blocks (Katana UTML) were sliced, sintered (1550°C, 2 h), and randomly divided into six groups (n=10) according to the number of characterization firings (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10) and aging (baseline or after thermocycling). Each characterization firing was performed at 750°C for 1 minute. The ceramic surfaces were all sandblasted with 50 μm Al2O3 and silanized. Then, cylinders of resin cement (0.96 mm diameter × 2 mm height) were bonded onto their surfaces. The baseline samples were immersed in distilled water for 24 hours before the microshear bond strength (μSBS) tests. The aged samples were tested after 5000 thermocycles in water (5°C–55°C). The failure modes were classified as adhesive, predominantly adhesive, or cohesive. Scanning electron microscope images of the failure modes and the ceramic surfaces after the firings were taken. The μSBS data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test.

Results

The number of characterization firings and aging affected the bond strength. The highest bond strength values were observed from the 2-firing group at baseline. The μSBS results after 1, 2, or 3 characterization firings were similar at baseline and after aging. On the other hand, 0, 5, and 10 firings revealed the lowest bond strengths. The most frequent failures were adhesive and predominantly adhesive. Zirconia grains were not affected by the multiple firings.

Conclusion

One to three characterization firings after sintering improve the bond strength of 5Y-PSZ to the resin cement when compared to none or several (five or ten) firing cycles.

The study was conducted to quantify and characterize the urban solid waste and its ecological accounting in Manali town of Himachal Pradesh during 2020–21. Manali municipality is divided into 7 wards with a population of 8,095. 15 residential households, 8 commercial establishments, and 2 government/semi-government institutes were considered in selected 7 wards. The present study concluded that the MSW generation was higher in summer than winter and out of which biodegradable waste was generated higher than non-biodegradable. The domestic sector contributes the highest waste from different wards. In winter, 132.65 kg of MSW was generated from hotels and restaurants, 85.12 kg from dhabas, 52.54 kg from shops, 21.07 from offices and 6.16 kg from schools. During summer, 164.6 kg of MSW was generated from hotels and restaurants, 58.23 kg from dhabas, 45.22 kg from shops, 16.47 kg from offices and 7.03 kg from schools from different sectors. The urban solid waste of Manali contained 241.31 kg of biodegradable waste and 28.64 kg of non-biodegradable during winter and during summer it contained 262.70 kg of biodegradable and 28.54 kg of non-biodegradable waste. Presently, the 1.47 ha land is required for the disposal of urban solid waste in Manali town. The per capita ecological footprint was found to be 0.000742 gha during winter and during summer the per capita total ecological footprint was 0.00147 gha. The production of bio-compost from biodegradable waste could be important to reduce biodegradable waste.

The ecological footprint is a resources accounting tool that measures how much land and sea area is available on earth, and how much of this area is appropriate for human use. The present study was conducted in the year 2020-21to assess the ecological footprint of schools. Five components viz. electricity, water, solid waste, transportation, and material (paper) consumption of selected 13 Government Senior Secondary Schools of Bilaspur district were analysed. The total ecological footprint (EF) of all the selected educational institutes was found to be 2417.46 gha and per capita, EF was 0.58 gha.The highest ecological footprint was found to be 544.48 g ha in GSSS, Berthin, and per capita highest ecological footprint was calculated as 0.59 g ha and the lowest EF (91.43 g ha) was in GSSS, Ghumarwin and per capita, EF was 0.53 gha. The highest (1.47 g ha) biocapacity was observed in GSSS, Berthin,and the lowest biocapacity (1.33 gha) was estimated in GSSS, Bilaspur. The component-wise contribution towards total EF was 23.34 g ha, 0.012 g ha, 83.66 g ha, 2213.58 g ha, and 0.062 g ha respectively in energy, water, material, transportation, and solid waste. In Jhandutta Block, the maximum number of students and staff members falls under the sustainability scale of 60−120, which indicates that an extra campus is required to support their lifestyle. In Ghumarwin and Bilaspur blocks, the maximum number of the population falls under the sustainability scale of less than 60, which means that resources are used efficiently. In Swarghat block, the maximum population falls under the scale of 120−180, which indicates that students and staff arenot utilizing the resources efficiently.

The present study was carried out during kharif (June−September, 2019) and from January to mid of May 2020 at AC&RI, Madurai, Tamilnadu state, India. From the segregating populations of F3 and F4 generations of the cross ASD16×Improved Pusa Basmati 1 to estimate the effectiveness of selection for yield and its contributing traits. F3 generation was raised in single seed decent method in the non-replicated manner and line sowing was taken in F4 generation. Positively skewed and platykurtic curve was observed for the trait hundred seed weight in the both generations this result revealed that the trait was controlled by the complementary type of gene action hence showing that intense selection is needed to obtain more genetic gain from these traits. The parent progeny regression and intergenerational correlation showed positive and highly significance for the quantitative traits i.e., days to 50% flowering, number of productive tillers, number of filled grains panicle-1, and single plant yield, plant height and hundred grain weight. Narrow sense heritability was observed for the traits viz., days to 50% flowering, single plant yield, number of productive tillers, panicle length, number of filled grains panicle-1 infer that these traits carried their additive×additive component and helped in the fixation of the characters in the early generation itself.

Field experiment was conducted during the three consecutive cropping seasons (2017–2018, 2018–2019 and 2019–2020) at the experimental field of ITGC, Setif, Algeria to study the selection of adapted and stable genotypes of triticale based on the use of some parametric and non-parametric index. The program STABILITYSOFT was used to calculate the parametric and non-parametric index. The graphic distribution of the genotypes tested based on the relationship between the mean grain yield and regression coefficient (bi), proved that the suitable genotypes for the tested conditions are G2, and G3. The association between Wricke’secovalence (Wi²), the coefficient of variance (CVi), the mean variance component (θi ) and the Stability variance (σ²i) indices with the grain yield proved that the best genotypes for growing under these conditions were G2 and G3.In addition, the selection based on the non-parametric index showed that the genotypes G1, G2 and G3 were the most stables. The combination selection based on highest grain yield and the parametric indices proved that the genotypes G2 and G3 are the more stable and more adapted under semi-arid conditions. The results of spearman’s rank correlation and PCA analysis for grouping the different parametric stability statistics studied showed that stability indices could be classified into four groups. Moreover, and based on the static and dynamic concepts, the parametric indices bi and CVi are related to the static concept, while the other indices were associated with dynamic stability concept. Overall, the results of this study confirmed that the parametric and non-parametric methods were the suitable tools to identify the most stable triticale genotypes at various environmental conditions.

BACKGROUND The literature review is devoted to an urgent problem of the diagnosis of pneumonia in the practice of an anesthesiologist-resuscitator using ultrasound. The literature review describes the methodological foundations of this method, its advantages and disadvantages, sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of severe community-acquired pneumonia in the practice of an anesthesiologist-resuscitator.

AIM OF STUDY The analysis of the most modern domestic and foreign evidence base based on the information content of lung ultrasound in CAP in the practice of an anesthesiologist-resuscitator.

MATERIAL AND METHODS Russian publications were searched in the elibrary.ru database, foreign publications were searched in the PubMed database. Publications (literature reviews, observational studies, double-blind randomized trials) were searched for the period 2010–2020. A total of 1379 publications were initially selected, identified through database searches. After removing duplicates, the number of publications was reduced to 695. Of this number, 503 publications were excluded. The remaining 192 full-text articles were evaluated for text acceptability. Due to inconsistency with the main sections of the review, 77 articles were deleted from them. The remaining 115 ones were included in the qualitative synthesis and 67 ones were selected in the quantitative synthesis.

RESULTS The ultrasound is a promising and worthy alternative to other imaging modalities. According to the results chest X-ray was inferior to lung ultrasound in diagnosing the presence of fluid in the pleural cavities. The sensitivity of ultrasound in assessing pleural effusion reaches 100%, the specificity is 99.7%. Pulmonary ultrasonography plays an important role in the diagnosis of pneumonia and is a promising alternative to chest X-ray and chest CT.

DISCUSSION Since POCUS is performed at the patient’s bedside, the results are available to the doctor in real time, which helps in diagnosis and treatment. Sequential examinations can be performed to monitor disease progression and response to treatment. However, many facilities do not have the ability to store ultrasound images, so other healthcare professionals cannot see them.

FINDINGS The ultrasound examination of the lungs is unlikely to replace computed tomography of the chest, as it does not have 100% specificity, however, it is indispensable in bedside examination and is the doctor’s sonographic “stethoscope”, which significantly expands diagnostic capabilities.

RELEVANCE In Russia, insufficient motivation and low readiness of laypeople to provide first aid (FA) stipulate low rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and, as consequence, high mortality from cardiac arrest (CA). News reports on real cases of CA, in addition to describing circumstances of the event, may carry important information promoting FA provision among a wide audience. However, existing practice of presenting such content in Russian media sphere is unknown.

AIM To investigate contemporary trends for presentation of information on the problem of CA and provision of help in CA in reports of online news media on the example of a news sample about cases of pediatric CA in kindergartens and schools of Russia.

MATERIAL AND METHODS In August 2021, Google and Yandex were searched for Russian-language news reports describing cases of CA that happened in children in Russian schools and kindergartens in 2020, and structured content analysis of the news was carried out.

RESULTS The study sample consisted of 207 news reports describing 21 unique case of CA. In 76.2% cases (n=16) CA occurred in children at school, in 23.8% cases (5) — at kindergarten. At least in 28.6% of cases (6) Emergency Medical Services providers did not attempt CPR at arrival on scene. FA provision by bystanders was described in two cases (9.5%), provision of help by medical employees of educational organizations — in six cases (28.6%). Only in one case (4.8%) the child was transferred to a hospital after successful resuscitation. In the rest of cases (n=20; 95.2%) biological death was verified on scene. Information on the value of FA for saving life in CA was present in one out of 207 news reports (0.5%); and there were no reports mentioning legal aspects of FA provision, describing procedure of FA in CA, or highlighting the importance of mass public resuscitation education.

CONCLUSIONS News reports that describe cases of CA confirm high relevance of the problem, but do not carry important information related to popularization of FA knowledge. Inclusion of information on significance, principles and procedures of providing FA to CA victims into the content of the news reports is necessary for establishing positive public opinion and increasing motivation of the general population of Russia towards training in FA and FA provision. This in turn indicates the necessity for enhancing awareness of the professional journalistic community on the problem of FA provision in CA.

Traumatic testicular dislocation can be easily missed, especially against the background of obvious severe injuries in a patient with multiple and concomitant trauma. Despite the fact that traumatic testicular dislocation is a rare condition and does not pose an immediate threat to patient safety, it can cause serious consequences leading to male infertility. To prevent complications, this pathology should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. For this purpose, it is necessary to exercise diagnostic vigilance and conduct an appropriate examination in patients with polytrauma, especially those received while riding a motorcycle. The diagnosis of the trauma can be made if, on physical examination, there is a dense elastic formation corresponding to a displaced testicle with simultaneous desolation of half of the scrotum. This will help speed up the diagnosis and initiation of treatment, as well as facilitate preoperative planning of interventions on the bones of the anterior pelvic ring. Therefore, diagnostic instrumental and physical examination with palpation of both testicles upon admission is highly recommended.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with hepatic steatosis, a benign condition caused by accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes, which may progress to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. Recent studies suggest that sphingolipids are involved in the development and severity of NAFLD. The goal of this study is to identify the circulating sphingolipid species that are altered by chronic high fat diet (HFD) feeding and correlate these abnormalities with hepatic sphingolipids. We utilized a previously established experimental model of NAFLD generated by HFD feeding of 8-week-old male mice for 16 weeks. Lipids were extracted from serum samples by Folch method and analyzed with matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in the positive and negative ion modes. MALDI-TOF detected a total of 47 serum sphingolipids including sphingomyelins, sulfatides, ceramides, phosphosphingolipids, and glycosphingolipids within the mass range of 600-2000 Da. Principle component analysis demonstrated clear separation of hepatic sphingolipids from low fat diet (LFD) and HFD groups and partial overlap of serum sphingolipids with a variance of 53.5% and 15.1%, and 11.7% in PC1, PC2, and PC3, respectively. Chronic HFD feeding significantly increased expression of SM (40:0), SM(42:2), ST(42:2), Hex(6)-Cer (40:1), and Hex(4)-HexNAc (2)-Cer (34:1) in both serum and liver. In addition, HFD mediated percent changes in hepatic sphingolipids correlate linearly with the percent changes in serum sphingolipids as determined by Pearson correlation (P = 0.0002). Elevated levels of serum and hepatic sphingomyelins and glycoceramides are key factors mediating NAFLD development and may serve as peripheral markers of hepatic steatosis.
The Meaning of Film with the Theme of Interfaith Marriage in Multicultural and Multi-Religious Indonesian Students

Interfaith marriage is an increasingly heated issue in Indonesia, along with the increasingly massive practice carried out by couples of different religions, ranging from ordinary people to presidential staff, and causing pros and cons among the public. Most recently, a Christian man who wanted to marry his Muslim lover filed a lawsuit for review of the Marriage Law with the Constitutional Court, especially Article 2 paragraphs 1 and 2, and Article 8 letter f, which generally regulates the validity and prohibition of marriage. Interfaith marriage, which became a social issue, later became an interesting theme adopted by the scriptwriters and directors for the film. There are at least five film titles with the theme of interfaith marriages that have been displayed in Indonesian cinemas since 1999. Filmgoers who are predominantly teenagers and adults, of course, have different meanings for the narratives of the films they watch; this can be influenced by various aspects, especially cultural and religious backgrounds. The meaning of the film “Cinta Tapi Beda” will be given by a student audience that represents the dominant age of cinemagoers in Indonesia. This is qualitative research with a constructivist paradigm. The method of selecting the source uses the criterion sampling technique, where the criteria for the source have been determined in advance. The data collection method used in this study was through in-depth interviews using semi-structured interview guidelines. The data analysis method uses Stuart Hall’s encoding-decoding theory by classifying meaning into dominant, negotiating, and oppositional. The results showed that one in four audiences was in a position of dominant hegemony, one was in a negotiating position, and the other two were in an opposition position.
