Ideo-Religious Relations in Islamic Civilization: Theological Controversy Between Suhrawardi Al-Maqtul and the Fuqaha
Authors:   Faculty of Ushuludin Adab and Da'wah, State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Syekh Nurjati Cirebon, Indonesia, Asmuni Ahmad
Published: February 2024

This study examines the theological controversy between Suhrawardi Al-Maqtul and the fuqaha and the ideo-religious relation in Islamic civilization. Sources of data are secondary data derived from books on Muslim scholars and literature studies related to Suhrawardi's thoughts and controversies. The research method used is a literature study with a philosophical and theological approach by analyzing the fundamental nature of existence and the accompanying reality to give birth to an understanding and thought about Islamic ideo-religiosity from the theological perspective of Islam and its controversies. The results of the study revealed that Suhrawardi sparked controversy with the fuqaha because the ideo-religiousness of the basic concept of God was different from the religious ideas of the fuqaha who at that time were in political and military conflict. One of his works is considered to deviate from the standard division of nine parts of logic - he mentions three parts, namely semantics, formal logic, and material logic. Therefore, although his thoughts have contributed to the treasures of Islam, on the other hand, they have been understood separately by the fuqaha. The implication of this research is that Muslim scholars and observers of Islamic treasures should save the works of thought of Islamic figures like him and examine their positive values for Islamic civilization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised public awareness of the link between health and sanitation, which has resulted in a rise in the demand for sanitation supplies like hand sanitizer and hand soap. Consumer behavior towards sanitary products has changed. The long-term impact of the pandemic on the effect of the marketing mix and health consciousness on consumer decisions to buy sanitary products in Indonesia still needs to be analyzed. The purpose of this study is to look at the effect of the marketing mix (product, price, place, and promotion) and health consciousness on sanitary product purchases. Measurement of these variables was carried out using relevant indicators with a Likert scale of 1-5. The data were analyzed using Lisrel 8.80 software, which included a structural equation model (SEM). Data collection was carried out through questionnaires (online surveys) by applying purposive sampling techniques. The research sample consisted of 250 respondents with characteristics as all Indonesian people aged at least 12 years old, had purchased sanitary products in Indonesia. Based on analysis using the SEM Lisrel 8.80 method, it was discovered that purchasing decisions are significantly positively affected by the marketing mix. Marketing mix has a significant effect but a weakening effect on health consciousness. Health consciousness has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. Health consciousness has been shown to mediate the effect of the marketing mix on purchasing decisions, but it is weakened. Thus, it is possible to conclude that the marketing mix and health consciousness are essential factors in enhancing sanitary product purchasing decisions.
Dimensionamento de reservatórios residenciais para atenuação de cheias e aproveitamento de águas pluviais utilizando informações hidrometeorológicas
Authors:   , Martino Bernardo Lucas
Published: February 2024

A urbanização no Brasil aumentou a vulnerabilidade da população às estiagens e inundações e uma alternativa para lidar com esse problema é o uso de reservatórios. Os reservatórios de retenção (RR) são comuns no combate à seca, enquanto os reservatórios de detenção (RD) são projetados para mitigar os impactos das enchentes. A implementação combinada desses reservatórios em ambientes residenciais é pouco explorada e, portanto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver um método baseado em informações hidrometeorológicas de dimensionamento e operação de reservatórios para atenuação de cheias e aproveitamento de águas pluviais (RACAP). Assim sendo, foi escolhida para esse estudo a região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (RMBH) devido à sua vulnerabilidade a esses eventos extremos e a disponibilidade de dados pluviométricos e fluviométricos adequados da região. Utilizando a estação pluviométrica 01943006, foi possível gerar uma série sintética de 10 anos característica da região e, com a estação fluviométrica 41260000, foi possível identificar o período de maior risco de enchentes na RMBH. O reservatório proposto conta com duas regras de operação distintas: na primeira ele atua como um RR tradicional; na segunda ele é parcial esvaziado diariamente, de forma que essa última é utilizada somente durante os períodos mais propícios às enchentes, ou períodos críticos (PC). O RACAP foi simulado e dimensionado e, para fins de comparação, foi contrastado com um RR de mesmas dimensões. Os resultados mostraram que, para o período simulado, o RACAP foi capaz de entregar uma média de 67,7% da demanda nominal e o RR 71,9%. Além disso, o RACAP não extravasou durante o PC do ano, enquanto o RR extravasou 113 ocorrências durante esse mesmo período. Portanto, o estudo destacou a importância de considerar a época do ano no planejamento de reservatórios de prevenção de enchentes e na adição dessa capacidade aos RRs residenciais em áreas urbanas. O trabalho também pontua que ainda há espaço para ajustes e melhorias no método proposto. Palavras-chave: Reservatório; Enchente; Escassez hídrica.

Published: February 2024

Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil oxidativo em indivíduos com diagnóstico de hipertensão com e sem diabetes assistidos pela Atenção Primária à Saúde no município de Viçosa, Minas Gerais. Métodos: Estudo transversal quantitativo realizado com 271 indivíduos com diagnóstico de hipertensão acompanhados em duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde. A coleta de dados ocorreu de novembro a dezembro de 2019. Primeiramente aplicou-se questionário semiestruturado com informações sociodemográficas, clínicas e de hábitos de vida. Posteriormente ocorreu coleta de sangue e foram realizadas análises, como bioquímica, marcadores de danos (peroxidação lipídica; proteínas carboniladas), marcadores antioxidativos (superóxido dismutase; catalase; ácido úrico) e capacidade antioxidante total (FRAP). Para verificar as associações entre as variáveis categóricas utilizou-se Qui-quadrado. Nas variáveis quantitativas foi realizada a análise descritiva e o teste de normalidade, seguidos dos testes paramétrico (t- Student) e não paramétrico (Mann-Whitney) para avaliar a relação entre as alterações na hemoglobina glicada e glicemia de jejum com os marcadores e a FRAP. A associação entre as variáveis dependentes e as variáveis explicativas foi realizada por regressão logística univariada e multivariada. Resultados: Dos 271 pacientes, 98 (36,2%) apresentaram a hemoglobina glicada ≥ 6,5% e 56 pacientes (20,7%) apresentaram a glicemia de jejum ≥126 mg/dL. Identificou-se que os níveis séricos de ácido úrico foram inversamente associados às alterações dos marcadores glicêmicos e que os valores da peroxidação lipídica apresentaram uma associação positiva à hemoglobina glicada. A presente dissertação resultou também em um produto técnico de tecnologia educativa, expresso no formato de um Podcast com o tema: “Avaliação do estresse oxidativo em indivíduos hipertensos e diabéticos”, dirigido aos pacientes com diagnóstico de hipertensão e/ou diabetes com o objetivo de ser um instrumento de esclarecimento sobre o seu processo de saúde-doença, fortalecendo o autocuidado e sensibilizando o indivíduo na adesão ao seu tratamento. Conclusões: Estes achados denotam que existe uma relação entre os marcadores do estresse oxidativo e os marcadores glicêmicos indicando que a adoção de medidas para a redução do estresse oxidativo podem influenciar positivamente o prognóstico de indivíduos com diagnóstico de diabetes.

Electric School Buses: Catalysts for Peak Shaving and Load Leveling in V2G Systems
Authors:   Zum Services Inc, Redwood City, California, USA, Sharma Aditya Kumar
Published: February 2024

This comprehensive research paper navigates the complexities arising from the peak demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging during traditional peak hours within the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems framework. The crux of the matter lies in the emergence of grid congestion—a critical issue leading to inefficiencies, voltage fluctuations, and potential disruptions in power supply. The paper highlights the challenges associated with grid congestion, mentioning its implications on the reliability of V2G services. Overburdened charging infrastructure not only results in delays and increased maintenance requirements but also elevates the likelihood of technical failures, further jeopardizing the stability of the entire energy distribution system. To address these challenges, the paper explores the concepts of peak shaving and load leveling as strategic interventions in energy management. Peak shaving, an approach aimed at mitigating the highest peaks in electrical load profiles, seeks to minimize electricity costs by avoiding or mitigating peak demand charges—a significant component of commercial or industrial electricity bills. On the other hand, load leveling endeavors to balance electrical loads over specific periods, ensuring a consistent and stable load profile. These strategies involve utilizing energy storage systems, demand response programs, and innovative grid technologies to optimize electrical power consumption.

The study examined the effect of financial ratio on the corporate financial performance of listed commercial banks in Nigeria. The specific objective was to ascertain the effect of activity ratio and market value ratio on return on equity. Ex-post facto design was the variant of research design adopted. The population for the study covered all thirteen (13) listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. Secondary data were sourced from the annual reports of ten (10) selected listed deposit money banks from 2012 to 2021. The study utilized Ordinary Least Square regression analysis to establish effect in addition to the descriptive statistical analysis conducted with the use of mean, standard deviation, range values, skewness, kurtosis and Jarque-Bera statistic. It was found that: activity ratio has a non-significant positive effect on the return on equity of listed commercial banks in Nigeria (p > .05); market value to book value ratio has a non-significant negative effect on the return on equity of listed commercial banks in Nigeria (p > .05). In conclusion, banks that reduce their leverage ratios to a level that minimizes their interest expenses and financial risk also attain better financial results. The study recommends that banks should maintain an optimal level of leverage and avoid over-reliance on debt financing

Afflatoxine Effect on Livestock Health: A Review
Authors:   Siltie Zone Agricultural Office, Ethiopia, Telila Gebre Alemayehu
Published: February 2024

Aflatoxins have been the cause of numerous deaths in livestock and it also the cause for economic losses. Aflatoxins belong to a group of mycotoxins that are produced by fungi species (molds) as they grow on their substrates. The major ones are aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2, thus named depending on their fluorescence under blue and green light. Aspergillus parasiticus can synthesize AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2. AFB1=AFM1>AFG1>AFB2=AFM2>AFG2 from strongest to weakest in terms of toxicity. Pigs so affected became lethargic, did not eat, and eventually became hypothermic, icteric, and had blood in their feces. Acute aflatoxicosis is characterized by an acute hepatotoxic disease that manifests itself with depression, anorexia, jaundice, hemorrhages, edema of the lower extremities, abdominal pain and vomiting. Chronic exposure leads liver cancer. The major target organ for aflatoxins in animals is the liver. Aflatoxins are probably not major causes of livestock disease and low productivity, but are contributing factors which are likely to become more important as livestock production intensifies. The animal feeds most likely to be contaminated are maize, cottonseed, and groundnuts. These feeds are at high risk for aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxins cannot be detected by sight or smell in contaminated food or feed. Aflatoxins are not eliminated by boiling, cooking, or by processing into compound feeds. Animal source foods, especially milk, may also contain aflatoxins if animals eat contaminated feeds. This is often the case with milk; carry-over rates are relatively high, consumption is high, and milk is often given to infants and young children who are most at-risk for negative health outcomes related to aflatoxin exposure. Affected animals may exhibit reduced feed consumption, weight loss, and reduction in production. The more significant effects in cattle may occur when animals consume lower levels of aflatoxins and chronic effects appear such as reduced reproductivity, immunosuppression, and reduced feed efficiency. An increase in dietary protein protects against adverse effects of the toxin. Feeding of extra vitamins, A and K could also decrease the detrimental effects of aflatoxins. The prevention ways are removing the sources; promotes better agricultural and storage techniques; have good resources for testing and early diagnosis; strict food quality standards; General awareness and personal protection; Better livestock feeding & management.

Oswald Spengler und der Streitwagen: ein Plädoyer für Universalgeschichte
Authors: FINK Sebastian
Published: February 2024

Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) was one of the most influential philosophers of history between WW I and WW II. His book “The Decline of the West” (1918) made him famous. In this book Spengler attested that the phase of the West as a productive culture is over and that the phase of civilization has started. In the years after the publication of his main work Spengler started to get more and more interested in Ancient History in its broadest sense. He argued against a Eurocentric view of history and suggested to reconsider our common understanding of history and its epochs. In the last part of the paper I try to show how Spengler conceptualized his universal history by the example of a lecture given by him on the war chariot and its influence on world history.

This study investigated the impact of partial commercialization on the financial performance of public enterprises (state- owned enterprises) in Nigeria. This study employed both expo factor research, and descriptive research designs. Population of this study is made up of all NTA stations in Nigeria as at 30th June, 2023. Secondary source of data is collected from the financial statements of the NTA covering a period of 2001 to 2021 financial years. This study used both descriptive and inferential analyses. The study found that partial commercialization has positive significant influence on the pattern of expenditures of NTA, The study equally finds that Share of Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC)-statutory has negative significant while Aid and grant has positive significant impact on interest earned by NTA and Finally, the study discovers that there is no significant relationship between both share of Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC)-statutory allocation, and Aid and grant on non-tax revenue generated by NTA in respect to financial performance, impliedly meaning there is no significant impact between the partial commercialization and non-tax revenue generated by NTA. The study therefore recommended that the government enhance its funding allocation for Aid and Grants by increasing the provision of television and studio equipment, transmitters, outside broadcasting vans, masts, and generators to the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the analysis ultimately reveals that the establishment of additional NTA stations at the local level has resulted in the depletion of people and material resources within the organisation. Consequently, this has placed a greater strain on the management of NTA stations and has diminished their financial performance. As a result, the report suggests that in light of the digitization of NTA, the government should consider reducing the number of NTA stations to solely encompass state capitals and Abuja. This strategic move aims to effectively curtail the operational costs associated with managing 116 stations.

O ensino investigativo apresenta-se como uma alternativa para ultrapassar as barreiras impostas pela abordagem tradicional, de modo a promover a participação ativa e crítica dos estudantes nas discussões em aula. Neste sentido, o presente artigo apresenta uma proposta de unidade didática investigativa sobre radiações eletromagnéticas, a qual objetiva contextualizar essa temática, referente à Física Moderna e Contemporânea, com a realidade vivenciada pelos alunos. Para isso, elaboraram-se sequências de atividades a partir dos conhecimentos prévios desses estudantes, coletados por meio de questionário, a fim de proporcionar que suas percepções se tornem mais complexas, com o desenvolvimento de capacidade argumentativa. As sequências de atividades propostas estão associadas a conteúdos conceituais, procedimentais e atitudinais, de forma a promover maior protagonismo aos estudantes na construção do conhecimento. Desse modo, espera-se contribuir para a alfabetização científica desses indivíduos, isto é, para a formação de cidadãos éticos e críticos, capazes de julgar os benefícios e os malefícios da aplicação de tecnologias na sociedade.

A elaboração de projetos investigativos para feiras científicas desempenha um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento da criatividade e protagonismo dos estudantes. Nesse contexto, os professores atuam como mediadores, orientando e acompanhando o processo, desde insights iniciais para pesquisa à socialização dos resultados. O objetivo do artigo consistiu em analisar as contribuições de uma oficina formativa conduzida na modalidade de Sequência de Ensino Investigativa (SEI) que explorou o "Show da Luna" como fonte de inspiração para a orientação de projetos de alunos do Ensino Fundamental. Essa é uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, natureza básica e objetivo descritivo-interpretativo. Procedimentalmente se enquadra como estudo de caso, realizado com um grupo de 56 professores. Para construção do corpus empírico, foram realizadas gravações e transcrições da etapa de sistematização da SEI. Posteriormente procedemos a análise textual discursiva (ATD) na qual identificamos cinco categorias iniciais que originaram a categoria emergente “O papel da experimentação e desenho animado na compreensão do ensino por investigação”. No metatexto, evidenciamos que os professores revisitaram, como aprendentes, os principais aspectos que norteiam uma investigação científica, apresentando uma visão unânime sobre a contribuição da oficina, apontando impactos positivos sobre o uso de atividades experimentais apoiadas no método científico explorado no “Show da Luna”.
Subaqueous carbonate speleothems as paleotemperature archives – clumped isotope thermometry and stable isotope compositions of inclusion-hosted water

Clumped isotope measurements of carbonates and stable isotope analyses of water trapped in fluid inclusions are both promising techniques to determine carbonate formation temperatures. Cave-hosted carbonate deposits (speleothems) are excellent targets for such studies, but kinetic fractionations and diagenetic influences frequently deteriorate the temperature data obtained from these methods. However, subaqueous carbonate deposits may provide reliable data, as kinetic fractionations are less significant in underwater environments. In this study, subaqueous speleothems, whose formation temperatures were directly measured in the water, were investigated. Additionally, temperatures calculated from the oxygen isotope fractionations between calcite and fluid inclusion-hosted water were compared with clumped isotope temperatures obtained for subaqueous carbonate formations in cave-hosted lakes. The clumped isotope temperatures fit the measured and calculated fluid inclusion temperatures within the analytical precisions. Carbonate deposits formed at elevated temperatures (~50°C or above) may undergo post-formational calcite-water oxygen isotope exchange, altering the composition of the inclusion-hosted water. In contrast, subaqueous speleothems formed at about 20-25°C appear to preserve the primary isotopic compositions. Our study shows that subaqueous carbonate speleothems are useful targets for clumped isotope and inclusion water analyses, making them valuable paleotemperature archives.
This Wounded Cinema, This Wounded Life
Authors: Murray Gabrielle M.
Published: February 2024

Film scholarship has largely failed to address the complex and paradoxical nature of the films of Sam Peckinpah, focusing primarily on the violence of movies such as The Wild Bunch and Straw Dogs while ignoring the poetry and gentility of lesser-known pictures including The Ballad of Cable Hogue and Junior Bonner. Serving as a necessary corrective, Gabrielle Murray's This Wounded Cinema, This Wounded Life: Violence and Utopia in the Films of Sam Peckinpah offers a better understanding of the work of this landmark director through close readings of both his famous and less-famous works.

Placing them in their proper context—both aesthetically and mythologically—Murray eschews the usual debates about screen violence to discover the ways in which Peckinpah's films provide intense, kinetic explorations of life and death. Amid the often-discussed bloodshed, this bold new study comes to find the complicated utopian impulse that exists at the heart of even Peckinpah's most violent work.

The United Nations and the Maintenance of International Security
Authors: Sutterlin James S.
Published: February 2024

International security must be understood in much broader terms in the aftermath of the Cold War. This extensively revised edition retains the valuable descriptions and analyses of the United Nations' achievements and failures, while placing them in the context of the ever-broadening definition of international security and of changing attitudes toward national sovereignty and humanitarian intervention. In order to deal with the internal struggles that are now the prevalent form of conflict, it is necessary to allay the root causes of tensions within societies. Means of enforcement must be applied to prevent gross violations of human rights, including genocide.

Sutterlin describes the background of innovations that recent crises have imposed on the UN. He analyzes how recent reforms have affected the UN’s capacity to deal with the security problems of the new century. Peacekeeping, peace-enforcement, peace-building, and the application of sanctions all bring new challenges. In one chapter, Sutterlin focuses on the UN's experience in enforcing disarmament in Iraq. A new chapter details the impact of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction on UN policies and actions. This systematic presentation, using scholarly analysis and a practitioner's inside knowledge, provides a readable and challenging text for courses on the United Nations.

Today's Civil Rights and Liberties Issues
Authors: Stooksbury Kara E.
Published: February 2024

This indispensable, one-stop resource examines where Democrats and Republicans stand on current civil rights and civil liberties issues related to voting, free speech, abortion and reproductive rights, guns, and other hot button topics.

Both the Democratic and Republican parties claim that they have the best interests of the nation and its people at heart, and they are equally adamant that they have the best policy solutions to address the nation's problems and challenges. Each volume in the Across the Aisle reference series examines the stated policy positions and actual voting/legislative records of the two parties (they are not always the same) on important areas of public policy, both historically and in the present day.

This volume sorts through the rhetorical clutter and partisan distortions that typify so many disputes between Republicans and Democrats and provides an accurate, balanced, and even-handed overview of the parties' attitudes and records on vital civil rights and liberties questions.
