Effectiveness of Integrating Palliative Care into Ambulatory Care of Non-cancer Terminally Ill Patients; A Systematic Review
Authors: Alzahrani Saeed Yahya , Alghar Hassan Yousef , Alshehri Anwar Mohammed , Alshehry Maied Zaher
Published: December 2024

With the increase in the burden of chronic diseases, the need for and access to better healthcare is required to improve the quality of life of patients. Palliative care is an interdisciplinary specialization that aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals with serious life-limiting illnesses, regardless of their stage of disease, as well as caregivers. Integration of early palliative care into an ambulatory care setup can help improve the overall care experience for patients and their families while also addressing their unique physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs, and it ensures continuity of care throughout a patient's disease trajectory. We aim to conduct this systematic review to assess the impact of the incorporation of early palliative care for terminally ill non-cancer patients and describe the effectiveness of palliative care in terms of symptom control and management and overall quality of life. We have conducted both electronic and manual search strategies within the potential databases and included articles to find relevant studies. Studies from 2013-2023 were included. Original studies that recruited non-cancer terminally ill patients receiving palliative care in ambulatory care settings were included, while studies including pediatric patients (age less than 18 years) were excluded. Cochrane bias risk assessment tool was utilized to assess the quality of the studies. The final inclusion resulted in 10 studies. Integration of palliative care in ambulatory care settings improved the quality of life among patients and decreased their symptom burden and hospitalization rate. Few studies also reported improved survival times among their patient populations. Mean changes from baseline symptoms were reported. Integration of palliative care in ambulatory care shows promising results. Although to further improve patient-centered outcomes and consider patients' perspectives on care delivery, more research is necessary to develop an empirical understanding of palliative care by recognizing and addressing the characteristics and implementation issues crucial to integrating these models in ambulatory care.
The Significance of Nitroglycerin in Emergency Medicine Across Multidisciplinary Conditions: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
Authors: Aldahash Ahmed Abdulrahman , AlGhazwani Abdulaziz Saud
Published: December 2024

Background: Nitroglycerin, a fast-acting vasodilator, is often used in the emergency department as a first-line treatment for angina and chest pain caused by acute coronary syndrome. It can also be used to treat other conditions such as acute heart failure, pulmonary edema, and aortic dissection. In patients with decompensated congestive heart failure with acute pulmonary edema, intravenous bolus nitroglycerin can reduce the requirement for intubation, intensive care admission rate and hospital duration of stay. Through this systematic review, we aim to elaborately analyse the existing literature to define the beneficial role of the administration of nitroglycerine across diverse cohorts of patients reporting to emergency medicine settings. Methods: Our study aimed to assess the significance of nitroglycerine in emergency medicine settings for various multidisciplinary conditions. As a result, we included original studies that defined the role and utilization of nitroglycerine across various diseases among emergency medicine patients specifically. Studies including the pediatric population were excluded. Newcastle-Ottoman Castle and Cochrane risk of bias assessment tools were utilized to assess the quality of included studies.
A Survey and Assessment of German Approaches to Sirah
Authors: MALIK JAMAL
Published: December 2024

This paper attempts to address the question why German critical and polemical sirah-writings garnered little reaction at the time they were written in the 1970s, and only began to receive greater interest at the beginning of the twenty-first century. What has changed since the 1970s? In answering such question, a brief and selected overview of German contributions to the literature on the life of the Prophet is presented. This will be traced from the early German biographers, critics, and sceptics, and deniers and revisionists who have gained quite some ground in the backdrop of a new political culture evolving in the wake of growing Islamophobia and populism. The conclusions will set out some of the issues that may be important for further sirah-studies both in the light of questions pertaining to the historiography of religion in general and sirah-writing in particular.
Economic Rationale of the Prohibition of Interest
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad Mazhar , Shah Anwar
Published: December 2024

Conventional economist, in particular neo-classical, assumes that self-interest is the guiding principle of economic behaviour and there exist no fallacies of composition. That is, whatever is in the interest of an individual is also in the interest of a society. Keynesian school of thought, on the other hand, though admits fallacies of composition such as “paradox of thrift” and “liquidity trap,” but they believe that such anomalies can be resolved by appropriate government intervention. History has, however, shown that government intervention, on average, worsens the issues of an economy instead of resolving it. One such issue which could not be resolved through government intervention is of “interest.” In this paper we investigate that why interest requires divine intervention for its prohibition. After explaining the economic rationale of prohibition of interest from Islamic perspective, we show through numerical illustration that how interest-based investment project, on one side, allows individual lenders to shift risk to borrowers and on the other side, generates a negative externality in the shape of financial and bankruptcy risk, which is an addition to the investment risk for the stakeholders of interest based investment. This might be one of the reasons that all divine religion including Islam give more weight to the societal or other stakeholders’ interests than the interest of lenders only and prohibit interest based lending completely. We conclude that Islam not only admits the existence of fallacies of composition, as do Keynesian school of thought, but also takes steps to resolve such fallacies through divine rules.
The State Bank of Pakistan’s Guidelines on Islamic Financing for Agriculture
Authors: Saqib Lutfullah , Zafar Mueen Aizaz
Published: December 2024

The agricultural sector plays a central role in the economic growth and stability of any agricultural country. It is, therefore, a benchmark through which the development of a country is determined. Being a Muslim country that relies on agriculture, various guidelines/prudential regulations have been issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) in order to facilitate and encourage financial institutions to pursue agriculture financing-both for crop and non-crop activities. Over the last few years, the SBP has started linking the expansion of agricultural activities with the implementation of sharī‘ah-based financing products. However, it is argued that while framing these guidelines and prudential regulations, the SBP overlooked some basic principles of the sharī‘ah. For instance, these guidelines ignore the lower class of farmers who have poor economic conditions and are not able to meet their basic agricultural needs for both crop and non-crop activities, do not take strict action against provision of loan on interest, allow unjustifiable collateral and securities, and recommend rigid procedure for the issuance of loan. This research aims to critically analyze the above-mentioned guidelines and prudential regulations of the SBP and suggest how to make them sharī‘ah based or at least sharī‘ah compliant.
Orientalism, a Thousand and One Times
Authors: Madiou Mohamed Salah Eddine
Published: December 2024

There has been no way to absolve Orientalism from ferocious debate. Scholars have been drawn from several quarters of the world to Edward Said’s oeuvre when it first appeared almost fifty years ago. Orientalism has since become an oft-occurring, if not a dominant work segueing into every postcolonial (or otherwise) conversation that unfurls. Said presents in Orientalism a mode of thought quite complex in its essence; its emphasis offers an overwhelming, unsettling sense of the detail and a complexity capable of halting one in haste. The very best of Said’s work has stood the test of time, but the many-hued reception has, so far, not only prevented any effective convergence, but also allowed Orientalism to lose its complex argument and dissolve into simplification. This article gives insight into two different perspectives (the Algerian and the Jordanian) on Said and Orientalism, and on this basis offers a reassessment of Orientalism’s main argument to refocus its energy and locate Said vis-à-vis Orientalism. It also discusses the pitfalls of “newly” emerging Orientalist thoughts, and instead of departing from the concept of Orientalism as Said defines it, it proposes to reconfigure and modulate it to fit the current circumstances, providing the foundation for a new concept: Warientalism.
Development and dissemination of programes on the study pysankas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
Authors: Tkachenko Viktor
Published: December 2024

An attempt is made in the article to conduct a source analysis of programmes on the study of Easter painting in the late nineteenth – first half of the twentieth century. Author’s programmes were published in the form of separate prints or in periodicals. Some of them are found in manuscript sources of archival funds of various institutions. On the basis of the processed materials, it is established that the programmes for the study of Easter painting were quite actively developed in the late nineteenth – early twentieth century. The purpose of the article is to trace the publication of Easter painting programmes in the late XIX – first half of the XX century as an information potential for historiographical research. The conducted source analysis of various programmes for the study of Easter eggs contains a rich information potential for the historiography of Easter eggs. Programmes have played an important role as a means of scientific communication between scientists, researchers and respondents. Their authors were M. Sumtsov, S. Kulzhynsky, M. Korduba, M. Skoryk, L. Shulhyna, as well as the Scientific Society of Volyn Researchers, the Taras Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv, the Ethnographic Society in Kyiv. The analyzed programmes are a multifaceted source, because quite often they raised issues not only the study of Easter eggs, but also other types of folk art and more. In turn, the answers provided the above-mentioned researchers to prepare a number of publications on the study of Easter eggs, and the programmes contributed to the formation of museum collections.
Traditional food in the family rituals of the Old Believers of the Republic of Moldova: traditions, variability and innovations (based on field research)
Authors: Zaicovschi Tatiana
Published: December 2024

Old Believers, including those living in the Republic of Moldova, strictly adhere to their faith, carried through the
centuries, and also preserve the features of traditional folk culture, including family rituals. As a result of field studies
of food used in the family rituals of the Old Believers – birth and baptism, wedding, funeral and memorial rituals associated with the life cycle of a person, the degree of preservation of the elements of the said food among the Old Believers of a number of cities and villages of the Republic of Mordovia was determined, local variability of dishes was revealed, and their most stable options were determined. The study allowed us to establish the characteristics of dishes prepared according to special recipes (their ingredients and specifics of preparation), as well as their symbolism and semantics within the food code. It was established that the most representative in this aspect are the funeral and memorial rituals. As interviews with informants showed, it is in these rituals that a greater number of dishes, the roots of which go back centuries, are preserved. At the same time, informants noted that many things are changing these days (for example, instead of three obligatory dishes at a funeral dinner, there is often a great abundance and variety, which they condemn and consider unjustified).
Quince in the cultures and languages of the Albanian-Slavic borderland
Authors: Domosiletskaya Marina , Novik Alexander
Published: December 2024

The role of certain plants, and especially the importance of quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) in the nutritional culture of the peoples of the Western Balkans, is extremely exaggerated. The article deals with the Common quince, which is grown in commercial quantities in Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, North Macedonia and other countries in the region, with special attention to the territories of the immediate Albanian-Slavic borderland. The study is based on many years of field research in the Balkans (1990–2024) and data from specialized archives. The authors analyze the use of quince for food purposes, folk medicine, and the reflection of ideas about the beloved fruit in folklore and written tradition. Quince primarily serves as a raw material for the preparation of sweet desserts and alcoholic drinks; it is rarely consumed raw. The stability of narratives about the cultivation of the plant and the use of its fruits for various purposes allows us to draw certain isoglosses, isopragms and isodoxes that mark boundaries in the traditions and idioms of the peoples and ethnic groups of the Balkan Peninsula. All Albanian (ftua, ftue, etc.) and relevant South Slavic (dunja, gunja, etc.) phytonyms of Cydonia oblonga are analyzed, etymologized and compared with the names of quince in other Mediterranean languages – in Greek, Latin, Italian, Aromanian, Romanian, Turkish.
The identity peculiarities of the costume from the work ”Aleko” (1973) in the vision of the painter Constantin Bălan
Authors: Tipa Violeta
Published: December 2024

The opera Aleko (1892) based on the poem The Gypsies by A. S. Pushkin is the debut work of the young composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. After the premiere of the opera based on the libretto by Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko at the Bolshoi Theater, which took place on April 27, 1893, productions followed in other theaters. On the occasion of the composer’s centenary in 1973, the opera Aleko was staged at the Chisinau Opera and Ballet Theater. The director of
the performance was Eugen Platon, the conductor was Isai Alterman, the choreographer was Simion Drecin, and the set designer was Constantin Bălan. The success of the opera was due to both the skill of the director and performers, as well as the scenography concept and the original costumes of the Gypsies, presented for the first time on the Moldovan stage. It should be noted that the artist Constantin Bălan, working on the creation of costumes for the artists, sought to present them as a symbol of the identity of this people, full of passions and thirst for freedom. In this context, we consider Constantin Bălan’s costumes as an element of clothing, as a characteristic that defines the character, giving it individuality, establishing its place in the social, national and cultural hierarchy.

Based on unpublished historical sources, statistical data of the period, specialized literature, etc., the first stage of primary education in interwar Chisinau was researched and analyzed, namely schools for young children (kindergartens), provided for children aged 4-7, being optional for children aged 4-5 and mandatory for those aged 5-7 in the localities where such institutions operated. After the Union in 1918, state kindergartens operated in Chisinau next to primary schools or in separate spaces. Towards the end of the interwar period, the number of kindergartens was 23. Specialized staff (teachers) for kindergartens were trained at the Girls’ Normal School for Kindergartens „Florica Niţa”. For a short time, the Normal
School for Kindergarten Leaders operated in the capital of Bessarabia. In order to obtain the teaching qualification of a second-degree teacher, kindergarten monographs were developed. The article presents several case studies of kindergartens in Chisinau in the period between the two world wars. There were certain „specializations” of kindergartens. Some were specialized in interactive games, others - orchestra, physical activities, etc. Some kindergartens were equipped with specialized libraries for children and parents. Local authorities and School Committees provided material resources for maintenance, logistics.

Bisnis Komoditas Pertanian Dalam Perspektif Etika Bisnis (Studi Pada Penjual dan Pembeli di Pasar Kembang Surabaya)
Authors: Bagus Aulia , Hidayat Syarif Imam , Setiawan Risqi Firdaus
Published: December 2024

Pasar Tradisional merupakan tempat interaksi secara langsung antara pelaku usaha atau penjual dan pembeli, karena tingginya intensitas interaksi yang terjadi di pasar tradisional, dapat memungkingkan tingginya peluang kecurangan oleh pelaku usaha atau penjual. Penyebabnya adalah karena belum ada patokan harga, volume yang sesuai dengan standar yang ada. Jadi masih banyak pelaku usaha atau penjual yang memakai alat ukur sederhana untuk menentukan patokan harga tanpa diketahui keakuratannya. Tujuan riset ini untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengamati perilaku penjual dan pembeli komoditas pertanian dalam persepektif etika bisnis di pasar Kembang Surabaya. Metode analisis data menggunakan deskriptif kualitatif. Dari hasil diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa dari segi penjual semakin tinggi ilmu agama akan semakin dia enggan untuk berbuat kecurangan. Dan juga adanya dorongan dari para leluhur atau pendahulu yang membuat para penjual akan menjalan kan apa yang sudah di percayai dari dulu oleh para orang tua terdahulunya , dan takut dengan adanya ancaman dari pihak pihak terkait jika melakukan kecurangan . Dan dapat disimpulkan darisegi pembeli adalah hubungan antara penjual dan pembeli dapat mempengaruhi kepercayaan antara keduanya, jika hubungan keduanya sudah terjalin lama maka tingkat kepercayaan akan semakin tinggi begitu pula sebaliknya jika hubungan yang terjalin masih baru akan timbul kecurigaan. Dan juga pembeli dapat dipengaruhi oleh factor kebudayaan contohnya kebiasaan dari keluarganya atau apa yang sering dilihat.
Lśniąca nowoczesność w ruchu. Projekt skutera Osa, relaks i konsumpcja w długich latach 60.
Authors: Czerwiński Mikołaj
Published: December 2024

In recent history scholarship, the concept of the long Sixties characterized by cultural and social transformation expanded beyond the West to include, among other parts of the globe, the socialist world. In the West, one of the defining features of the long Sixties was the rise in leisure and the abundance of consumer goods. In the planned economies of socialist countries, consumer goods became a major consideration. In Poland, one of the premises of de-Stalinization in 1956 was the provision of objects for everyday life as the Stalinist Party had failed to meet the expectation of material abundance. And design was cast in the role of creating desirable objects under socialism in a similar way as in the West. Taking the Osa scooter as a case study, this essay examines the role that design played in consumption under socialism in Poland. To do so, the essay engages with the Production – Consumption – Mediation Paradigm, developed in design history by Grace Lees-Maffei. This model acknowledges consumption and mediation in the analysis of design objects. Following this, the essay considers how the Osa scooter appeared on the pages of Motor, a magazine aimed at motorists, and examines how the Osa was consumed. Designed to reflect the functions of the scooter, the body of the Osa represented modernity, and, on the pages of Motor, the Osa facilitated leisure and was promoted toward a male owner. In consumption, the Osa became a luxury item that while imbedded into youth culture was representative of the inequities of individual motorization.

Życie rzeczy i życie z rzeczami. Jak badać urządzanie mieszkań w PRL-u?
Authors: Szydłowska Agata
Published: December 2024

The history of Polish industrial design, as the area deprived of institutional setting, has not developed independent research tools. To a large extent, it relies on methodologies hammered in the circles of Anglo-Saxon history of design which, in turn, has been struggling with its own identity and definition of the discipline from the very beginning. On top of methodological issues typical of the world design history, there is the Polish characteristic, which – especially in reference to the period after the Second World War – is indicated by economic context, that is the centrally controlled economy. This context should be particularly taken into account in the case of studies in the area of consumption. This article, in reference to methodological issues regarding design history from the perspective of material culture studies, presents methodological proposals related to the study of the Polish material culture of the People’s Republic period (PRL). The discussion is based on the example of the work on the history of Polish apartments in the years 1944–1989, featured in the book Futerał. O urządzaniu mieszkań w PRL-u.

Published: December 2024

This article refers to the possibilities of conducting research of fashion, so that this multidimensional phenomenon is most completely described. Until now, one of the many disciplines through the prism of which fashion has been observed is art, treated as the opportunity to emancipate fashion and ensure its presence in art galleries. The author indicates problems connected with such a way of thinking and suggests to consider clothing mainly in the categories of design, rather than art. In parallel, he analyses issues which arise with the so-formulated methodology of fashion studies.

Published: December 2024

Attracting investors plays a significant role in the development of the national economic complex and employment in the region, but the projects being implemented must correspond to regional priorities in terms of solving environmental and social problems. Social and economic assessment of investment proposals and business plans should be based on the assessment of parameters that comprehensively reflect the economic, social and environmental impact on the territory of implementation of investment projects. Social and economic assessment of investment projects of business entities in the region and the use of its results will determine the role of these projects in the development of the region, as well as ensure their rational selection for the provision of state support and increase its effectiveness. The article highlights the key aspects of defining an investment project and considers approaches to assessing the effectiveness of investment projects. The importance of applying measures of state support for investment projects by governing bodies is substantiated, taking into account the criterion of social responsibility of the project initiator.
Interculturality as a Potential Factor of Effectiveness and Acceptance of Peace Missions in Africa
Authors: Aicha Pemboura
Published: December 2024

Existing research and ongoing peacekeeping operations in Africa reveal mixed outcomes, ranging from success to failure. While political, economic, and societal challenges have been thoroughly examined as factors affecting peacekeeping missions, cultural challenges -particularly the lack of intercultural competence among blue helmets - remain underexplored. Interculturality plays a pivotal role not only in the implementation of peace mission mandates but also in building constructive relationships with host communities. This article underscores the critical importance of interculturality in the success of United Nations peacekeeping operations. Specifically, pre-deployment training that includes intercultural skills is essential for effective collaboration within peace missions. Additionally, fostering intercultural dialogue is crucial for legitimizing mission mandates and building trust with local stakeholders. These findings emphasize the need to integrate intercultural considerations at every stage of peace operation deployment.

Anti-corruption education is crucial in shaping the character of the younger generation with integrity. Primary schools have an important role in instilling anti-corruption values from an early age. However, anti-corruption learning is often considered boring and less interesting for students. Therefore, this community service (PKM) aims to improve the understanding and anti-corruption attitude of elementary school students through crossword puzzle games. The methods used in PKM include the development of learning media, learning implementation, and evaluation. The results of the service showed a significant increase in students' understanding and anti-corruption attitudes after participating in learning activities using crossword puzzle games. Teachers also gave positive feedback on the use of this learning media. This PKM contributes to improving the quality of anti-corruption education in elementary schools and is expected to be applied in other schools.

The importance of instilling anti-corruption values from an early age in primary education is an effort to internalize these values within students so that the nine anti-corruption values will become their guiding principles in life, which they will later implement in efforts to prevent corruption. Socialization is one of the preventive measures that can be taken to prevent corruption from an early age at Pelangi Manulai II Elementary School by using the storytelling approach with "Suri Ikun and Two Birds," which contains moral values reflecting anti-corruption principles. Through the story of Suri Ikun, students are expected to integrate anti-corruption values into their daily lives, in the learning process, and to help students develop a strong and positive anti-corruption character

Introduction: As trends in life expectancy continue to improve, the burden of loneliness in geriatric populations on a global scale is increasing. With advancing age comes an increase in the number of life events that can perpetuate a state of loneliness such as losing a life partner, dwindling social networks, and deteriorating health conditions. This burden can manifest in a variety of mental and physical consequences. While loneliness has been studied in a few communities around the world, there is a need to study loneliness in the context of Latin American communities in Central America, including Costa Rica. The aim of the present study is to assess the prevalence and associated factors of social and emotional loneliness (SEL) in a sample of elderly patients in the canton of Coto Brus, Costa Rica.
Methods: A cross‑sectional study was conducted that sampled 63 adults aged 65 years or above in the canton of Coto Brus. Investigators conducted face‑to‑face interviews in Spanish with the aid of translators. The primary instruments used for the present study were a content‑validated version of the 11‑item De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale and socio‑demographic questions that included age, sex, address, civil status, and level of education.
Results: A high degree of SEL was found, with 60.3% of participants noting at least a moderate degree of loneliness, with the average score being 3.33 on the 11‑point scale. When SEL was broken up into its respective subscores, the average score for social loneliness (SL) was found to be 0.67 on the 5‑point scale, and the average score for emotional loneliness (EL) was found to be 2.67 on the 6‑point scale. There was also evidence that supports both level of education and marital status serving as protective factors in the development of SEL.
Discussion: These results could indicate a stronger association of loneliness being linked to missing a life partner compared with loneliness being linked to having smaller social networks. Given the associations that were found in this preliminary study, it is pivotal to explore loneliness in this community with a larger sample size—potentially through the integration of the country’s Equipos Básicos de Atención Integral de Salud (EBAIS) healthcare system. It is also crucial to expand the study to explore any associations between loneliness and comorbid mental and physical health conditions.
