RESUMO
Objetivo: Identificar se a capacitação dos enfermeiros pode interferir nas taxas de prevalência de lesão por pressão em pacientes internados em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo quase experimental, de caráter quantitativo, com delineamento antes e depois da aplicação da intervenção educativa, a qual avaliou a influência da capacitação para enfermeiros atuantes em uma unidade de terapia intensiva sobre os índices de LPP. Resultados: A amostra total do estudo foi composta por 39 pacientes, dos quais 16 foram avaliados na primeira coleta de dados, com prevalência de 56,3% de LPP e 23 foram avaliados na segunda coleta, dos quais 60,9% apresentaram lesões. A maioria dessas LPP foram avaliadas como estágio 2, sendo o calcâneo, o segmento mais acometido. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstraram que a capacitação realizada somente com os enfermeiros de tais unidades não influenciou significativamente na redução da prevalência de LPP, podendo estar relacionada ao intervalo temporal entre a capacitação e a avaliação. Porém, os resultados demonstraram um aumento significativo na utilização de medidas preventivas, fato que, que possivelmente poderá resultar em uma redução destes indicadores em um segundo momento.

A Study on the Claim that the Amounts of al-Madd al-Farʿī (Secondary Madd) Affect the Meanings of the Verses of the Qurʾān
Authors: PİLGİR Muhammed
Published: September 2023

The issue of madd is one of the most fundamental issues in the science of qirāʾāt and is discussed extensively in the literature. In addition, in some of the recent studies conducted in Türkiye, it has been observed that the issue of secondary madd (al-madd al-farʿī) has been dealt with from the aspect of meaning in a different way from the discussions in the literature. In these studies, the amount of madds has been mentioned within the framework of the madd-meaning relationship and a claim has been made that the secondary madds based on lexical reasons deepen the meaning of the verses. In this paper, an attempt has been made to trace this argument in the qirāʾāt literature‎, and the views of contemporary scholars on the subject have been included. Additionally, in order to point out the existence of the madd-meaning relationship other than the al-madd al-farʿī, the prac-tice of exceptional al-madd al-ṣila, which is related to the meaning, was also touched upon. From this point of view, the main purpose of this study is to reveal the claim that "the farʿī madds affect the meaning of the verses" and to reveal the literature's counterpart of the exceptional al-madd al-ṣila practice of relationship with the meaning. As a result of the research, it has been seen that this claim about the secondary madds does not correspond to the information in the qirāʾāt‎‎ literature. In the case of the exceptional madd of hâ al-kināya, which is within the scope of the al-madd al-aṣlī/al-madd al-ṭabīī (natural madd), its effect on the meaning has been identified in the works of qirāʾāt, tajwīd, and some tafsīr; however, it has been concluded that the phonological justifications for this exceptional example contain inconsistencies within themselves. Likewise, it has been deter-mined that an eclectic method has been used effectively in the justifications for the view in regard-ing the secondary madds.
Qurʾān of Groningen University "uklu Hands 468"
Authors: ÖZDİREK Betül
Published: September 2023

This article focuses on the Qurʾān, identified as an "early Qurʾānic manuscript" in Europe, cata-loged as "uklu HANDS 468" in the library of the University of Groningen. The Qurʾān is not a complete Qurʾān and is a "mixed Qurʾān". 1/4 of this Qurʾān is written in Kufic script and the rest is written in Maghribi script. All the verses are collected in a single volume. The section writ-ten in Kūfic calligraphy shows the characteristics of the 3rd Hijri period. On the other hand, the section written in Maghribī script belongs to the later period. Moreover, this Qurʾān was both transliterated and translated into Latin by Johann Heinrich Hottinger. The Qurʾān of "uklu HANDS 468" uses an ancient Qurʾān unlike previous studies. In this respect, the Qurʾān catalo-ged in "uklu HANDS 468" is significant. This article's main purpose is analyzing this Qurʾān from the point of view of "Mushaf science". It is especially important because it reveals the "Muṣḥaf history" of the Qurʾāns thought to belong to the early period. For the purpose of the article, the Qurʾān is analyzed in terms of its codicological, paleographic, orthographic and con-tent features. In conclusion, the section written in Kūfic script has has features from the last part of the third century Hijri. The section written in Maghribi script seems to be from the fifth or sixth century. Qurʾāns from different locations and time periods could be assembled and bound together by the purchaser. This Qurʾān belongs to the category of "mixed Qurʾāns". It seems to be one of the first translations using an early Qurʾānic manuscript. Based on its ornamentation, it can be said that the Qurʾān has been interfered with in some places. Considering the script featu-res of the Qurʾān, the scribe's hand was shaking, especially in the section written in Kūfic script, and this is evident in the writing. In other words, it may be a Qurʾān copied in later years based on an early Qurʾān manuscript. There is no clear information on this subject.
Fluidity of reading the Qur’ān into late Middle Ages between the readers and the exegetes: the case of Abū al-Su‛ūd (Ebussuud, d. 982/1574).
Authors: ŞİMŞEK Halil
Published: September 2023

A significant topic of the Qur’anic studies is the subject of variant readings. According to Muslim tradition, the Qur’ān can be read at least in seven variant readings. Primary sources of Muslim scholarly tradition on the history of the Qur’ān exhibit, to some degree of variance, two distinct historical tiers: one is on the written form of the Qur’ān; and the other is on the oral features of the Qur’ān. Although the history of the written form of the Qur’ān seems to have culminated with the collection of the caliph ‛Uthmān (r. 26-36/646-656), the oral character of it continued to entertain variances in unspcified numbers. Attempts to limit, systematize, and cononize these variances, despite political backing at times, have failed to find reception with the scholars of Qur’anic readings and the scholars of Qur’anic exegesis well into the late middle ages. The latter, in their exegetical works, have continued to revive, utilize, and assess the readings that had been deemed non-canonical by the former. The Muslim tradition in general purports that the Qur’anic readings have been limited and systematized in non-exegetical settings, and the scholars of Qur’anic readings have allowed for the utilization of non-canonical readings for exegetical purposes. Our study here aims to assess this claim and reexamine if it can be corroborated with historical developments. We hope to demonstrate that not only does this claim stand on shaky grounds, but the exegetical literature well into the late middle ages strove to maintain the liberal ground for the oral aspect of the Qur’ān. We have tackled the issue through the exegetical work of Abū al-Su‛ūd al-‛Īmādī, Irshād al-‛aql al-salīm ilā mazāyā al-Kitāb al-Karīm, with references to earlier exegetical works on which Abū al-Su‛ūd seems to have drawn. We would like to demonstrate that the exegetes contested the Qur’anic readers in the oral features of the Qur’ān and stood their ground in keeping the liberal approach that allowed for some degree of fluidity and which was guided and governed by several different and non-fixed criteria such as tradition, meaning, literary excellence, linguistic reasoning, etc.
What Do Orientalist Qur’anic Studies Mean For a Muslim?
Authors: EKİZ Necmettin Salih
Published: September 2023

The history of the Qur'an has been one of the most important and most studied areas of ori-entalist Islamic studies for the last two hundred years. Since it is the main source of Islam, the Qur'an has always attracted the attention of orientalists and they have conducted many studies on the Qur'an from various perspectives. Therefore, orientalists became the founders of the history of the Qur'an as a branch of science in its modern sense, and they were the first to determine the main research topics and methods of this field. In terms of their basic paradigms, they do not accept that the Qur'an is a divine revelation sent down to the Prophet Muhammad. The orientalists, who act with the presupposition that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an, or had it dictated, have researched the writing of the Qur'an from the beginning of Muhammad's prophethood to the present day and the stages it has gone through after being a Mushaf. In this direction, first, led by Abraham Geiger (d. 1874), they tried to determine the origin of the Islam and Qur'an, and sought the origin of Islam in the surrounding religions and cultures, especially in the monotheistic religions. Almost simultaneous-ly, by following the path opened by Theodor Nöldeke (d. 1930), who was accepted as the founder of the Qur'anic history in the modern period, they tried to reach the most authentic text and a critical Qur'anic text through studies on the Qur'an manuscripts. In addition to the history of the Qur'anic text, they were also interested in the inner structure of the Qur'an, and they also worked on the rela-tionship between the surahs and verses, in other words, the unity of the text, as well as the order of the surahs and verses. Muslims, on the other hand, entered the history of the Qur'an in its modern sense, after the orientalists, and generally wrote studies aimed at answering their claims. In this study, firstly, Western Qur'anic history literature is presented by considering the historical stages, studies, schools, names, works, basic claims and methods that the history of the Qur'an has gone through from the time it emerged in the modern period to the present day. After presenting the orientalist tradition and accumulation in this way, what all these means for Muslim researchers is discussed. While discussion this, the presuppositions and paradigm differences between the two worlds were taken into consideration.
Anonymous Expressions Regarding the Theological Debates in the Commentary of al-Ṭabarī II: Some Controversial Issues Regarding the Acts of Human and the Hereafter Life
Authors: YAŞAR Naif
Published: September 2023

The first centuries of Islamic history have witnessed many theological debates. The sectarian groups of that time have used the Qur’ānic text and the traditions in order to support their ideas. Therefore the Qur’ānic text became a field of controversial debates among the theologians of Islam. Being among the forerunner savants of Islam, Muḥammad b. Jarīr al-Ṭabarī (d. 310/923), also handled the main theological debates of the first three centuries of Islam in his commentary called Jāmiʽ al-Bayān ʽan Taʼwīl Āy al-Qurʼān. al-Ṭabarī, mostly, presents the theological deba-tes among the Islamic sectarian groups without mentioning the proper names of the persons or the sects to whom the related theological views belong to. He usually uses anonymous expressi-ons such as ‘some researchers’, ‘some exegetes’, and so on instead of giving proper names of the sectarian groups or the personalities. Therefore, in this article, the proper names of personali-ties and sectarian groups alluded to by al-Ṭabarī under anonymous expressions will be brought to light relying mainly on the Islamic literature. As a common method of his commentary al-Ṭabarī, mostly transmits traditions related to the theological debates he deals with, nevertheless he sometimes does not supply any tradition regarding the disputed theological topics. In this study, only the isnāds of the traditions quoted by al-Ṭabarī will be provided, whereas every supported view will be briefly summarised. Here we will not handle all the anonymous expressions related to the theological debates, but we will sum up some controversial theological issues regarding the acts of human and the hereafter life such as beatific vision, the definition of faith, free will, the creation of human acts, and so on.

The impact of easing labour regulations on the rate of entry of new small and medium industrial enterprises is examined for Indian manufacturing, taking additionally into account the effect of improved infrastructure, particularly augmented power availability, on the entry rate. Econometric analyses are undertaken using state-level panel data for 2006-2018. Inter-regional variations in the entry rate of small and medium enterprises are utilized to establish the causal effect. The results indicate that easing labour regulations in a region (state) significantly enhances the pace of setting up new small and medium industrial enterprises in the region, and the beneficial impact of labour reforms is greater in regions where power availability is relatively abundant. Another finding is that an increased rate of entry of new small and medium industrial enterprises leads to increased growth rate in employment in manufacturing.

In the airline industry, after fuel costs, the crew costs con- stitute airlines’ second-highest cost items. For this reason, an airline needs to manage the valuable crew resource effi- ciently. Deviations from plans are fact in airline business and fixing deviations from crew schedules that occurred during operations by minimizing the crew-related delays and associated costs is one of the most important opera- tional burdens of airlines. In this context, the analysis of crew disruption data is vital in order to find disruption characteristics. Clustering analysis is one of the key meth- ods for analyzing the disruption characteristics. In this context, although there have been satisfactory studies in the literature and applications in the industry for small and medium-sized airlines, there is no good solution or industry practice for airlines with extensive networks and fleets. This study aims to analyze and categorize large- scale crew disruption data of a European airline. The relationship between categories of crew disruption and variables such as flight and crew types etc., are determined, and the disruption characteristics are revealed. For this purpose, clusters hidden in the large data set are extracted by spectral clustering. Due to the large size of the input data, a new approximation approach for spectral clustering is introduced. With the help of this new approximation approach, spectral clustering techniques are applied within a limited computational power and time frame as most real world scenario require. Even if the data set is gathered from one airline, the characteristics that are derived from the data is representing most of the cases an airline may face today. and will serve as a basis for further estimation and analysis of crew disruption.

Measuring the quality of teacher professional development: A large-scale validation study of an 18-item instrument for daily use
Authors: Richter Eric , Richter Dirk
Published: September 2023

Effective teacher professional development (TPD) is essential for improving teacher learning and, ultimately, educational outcomes. However, the lack of a validated tool to assess the quality of TPD has been a significant challenge in the field. This study presents the 'TPD Monitor', an 18-item instrument designed to measure four critical dimensions of TPD quality: clarity and structure, practical relevance, cognitive activation, and collaboration. The development and validation of the instrument was based on data from 2,381 teachers who participated in 200 TPD courses. A rigorous multi-level confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the four-factor structure of the TPD Monitor, providing robust evidence of its validity. The instrument demonstrated high reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC1, ICC2) falling within satisfactory ranges. Furthermore, measurement invariance was achieved, allowing for meaningful comparisons between different subgroups of teachers and courses. The 'TPD Monitor' is a valuable and practical tool for TPD providers, enabling them to design more effective courses, and for evaluators, enabling them to monitor and improve the quality of TPD courses. The validated tool fills a crucial gap in the field and provides a standardized approach to assessing TPD quality, facilitating continuous improvement in teacher professional development practice.
Chinese EFL Teachers' Perspectives on the Use of Extensive Reading in Chinese Primary Schools
Authors: Zhu Xiaoxuan
Published: September 2023

This qualitative study investigates Chinese English teachers' perspectives on the use of extensive reading (ER) in elementary schools. There are few studies on the implementation of extensive reading in elementary English language instruction. In addition, there are fewer studies on teachers' perspectives and attitudes toward ER. This study investigates a small step towards research on the use of ER in Chinese EFL primary educational contexts. To collect data for this study, interviews with EFL teachers in Chinese elementary schools are conducted. The interview data are analysed using thematic analysis techniques in order to investigate the perceived advantages and disadvantages of using extensive reading in the Chinese context for EFL primary school teachers and how Chinese EFL teachers view the use of ER in the English language classroom. Based on the results of the data analysis and discussion, the results of this study indicate that although teachers believe the use of ER in the classroom can be beneficial for Chinese EFL primary school students, a number of obstacles to the implementation of ER in the classroom have arisen. Teacher opinions on the future use of ER are also expressed in regard to the future widespread implementation of ER and their viewpoints on this issue. In spite of this, the teachers made some forward-looking suggestions regarding the use of ER in the classroom as well as classroom practices in general.
Sejarah dan Perkembangan Tarekat di Indonesia
Authors: Ihsan Nur Hadi
Published: September 2023

Using a historical approach, this paper tries to investigate the introduction and development of Sufi orders (tarekat) in Indonesia. The investigation was done towards certain sufi orders with a large number of followers in the area, such as Qadiriyyah, Rifa'iyyah, Syattariyyah, Naqsyabandiyyah, Khalwatiyyah, and Tijaniyyah. This research shows that although Sufism had been introduced to. this place as early as the 12th century, the first Sufi order was only found in this area four centuries later; it was the Qadiriyyah order brought by Hamzah Fansuri. From that time onward, there flourished many other orders in this country were in the hands of prominent Sufi masters such as al-Raniri, al-Singkili, and al-Makassari. Those masters devoted themselves to spreading their teachings by writing and teaching. The result was the spread of their teachings beginning from Aceh and Banten to all over the country, from that time up to this contemporary era. This proves the crucial role played by Sufi orders in keeping the existence and the survival of the teachings of Islam in the country.
Is the Whole Greater than the Sum of Its Parts? Impacts on Child Outcomes from a Home-Visiting Parenting Program and its Interaction with Preschool
Authors: Pages Remy , Payne Tracy , Knopf Herman T.
Published: September 2023

This study evaluates the effects of a weekly home-visiting parenting program designed to enhance parent-child engagement with educationally-enriching activities and its potential interaction with children's participation in state-funded preschool. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset linked across various administrative sources, we employed a quasi-experimental approach featuring inverse probability weighting regression adjustment and nearest neighbor matching to assess outcomes as measured at or leading up to kindergarten entry. We focused on a cohort of 2,000 diverse children born between 2012-2016, aged three and four at the intervention’s onset. Participation in the home-visiting program was associated with significant positive effects on children's cognitive skills, IDEA Part B service uptake, and the likelihood of reported child maltreatment, which persisted after adjusting for state-funded preschool participation. We found no statistical evidence of interactions between the program and preschool, underscoring the program’s additive contributions to early childhood development and family well-being.
The role of functional emotion circuits in distinct dimensions of psychopathology in youth
Authors: Karl Valerie , Engen Haakon , Beck Dani , Norbom Linn B.
Published: September 2023

Several mental disorders emerge during childhood or adolescence and are often characterized by socioemotional difficulties, including alterations in emotion perception. Emotional facial expressions are processed in discrete functional brain modules whose connectivity patterns encode emotional valence, but the involvement of these neural circuits in psychopathology in youth is poorly understood. This study examined the associations between activation and functional connectivity patterns in emotion circuits and psychopathology during development. We used task-based fMRI data from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort (PNC, N = 1221, 8-23 years) and conducted generalized psychophysiological interaction (gPPI) analyses. Measures of psychopathology were derived from an independent component analysis of questionnaire data. The results showed positive associations between identifying fearful, sad, and angry faces and depressive symptoms, and a negative relationship between sadness recognition and positive psychosis symptoms. We found a positive main effect of depressive symptoms on BOLD activation in regions overlapping with the default mode network, while individuals reporting higher levels of norm-violating behavior exhibited emotion-specific lower functional connectivity within regions of the salience network and between modules that overlapped with the salience and default mode network. Our findings illustrate the relevance of functional connectivity patterns underlying emotion processing for behavioral problems in children and adolescents.

Published: September 2023

Speakers continuously monitor their own speech to optimize fluent production. However, the precise timing and underlying variables influencing speech monitoring remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive temporal map of monitoring processes ranging from speech planning to articulation. Two closely resembling experiments were conducted, focusing on effects that consistently emerged across both. Participants engaged in a speeded language production task designed to elicit speech errors of either a lexical or articulatory-phonetic origin, while their EEG activity was recorded. On correctly produced utterances, we explored error probability at different levels of processing (lexical and articulatory-phonetic) and we also compared errors with correct trials to capture the potential diversity of response conflict and monitoring processes. Concerning the effects of error probability on correct trials, differences driven by the lexical status of a competing response were observed during initial stages of speech planning, while differences related to articulatory phonetically driven response competition emerged during speech motor preparation. In contrast, errors showed differences with correct utterances in both early and late speech motor preparation and during articulation. Taken together, these findings suggest that (a) response conflict on ultimately correct trials does not persist during articulation; (b) the timecourse of response conflict is restricted to the time window during which a given linguistic level is task relevant (early on for response appropriateness related variables and later for articulation relevant variables); and (c) monitoring during the response seems to be primarily triggered by pre-response monitoring failure.
Potential Harms from Emphasizing Individual Factors Over Structural Factors in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Stigmatized Groups
Authors: Ahuvia Isaac , Schleider Jessica L.
Published: September 2023

Experiences of oppression and stigma contribute to poor mental health among a wide variety of marginalized groups. Examples in the United States are not sparse. Race-based discrimination is associated with poor mental and physical health outcomes among African Americans (Mays et al., 2007; Soto et al., 2011). Exposure to interpersonal victimization, structural discrimination, and negative social attitudes are all associated with poorer mental health among LGBTQ+ youth (Russell & Fish, 2016). On college campuses, women and LGBTQ+ individuals are the most likely to be the victims of sexual assault, which can have severe consequences for mental health (Campbell et al., 2009; Carey et al., 2018; Ford & Soto-Marquez, 2016). Multiple overlapping stigmatized identities confer additional risk (Seng et al., 2012).While oppression and stigma impact the mental health of individuals, their causes are structural (e.g., cultural norms, public policies). This poses a challenge for cognitive behavioral therapists who seek to help clients affected by oppression and stigma, as the ultimate cause of the clients’ problems are largely not within the control of either the client or the therapist. Generally speaking, cognitive behavioral therapists approach this challenging presentation by focusing on the individual-level factors that are in the client’s control (e.g., a client’s appraisal of an experience of discrimination, or how a client copes with experiences of victimization). Moreover, cognitive behavioral therapists strive to do this in a culturally responsive way (e.g., by validating the client’s experiences of discrimination; Hays, 2009). In keeping with this approach, cognitive behavioral practitioners have developed interventions that effectively treat distress and mental illness in stigmatized groups (e.g., Pachankis et al., 2015; Williams et al., 2022), and have adapted evidence-based practices for work with these groups (e.g., the adaptation of cognitive restructuring described by Graham et al., 2013). However, there may still be ways that the individual-level focus inherent to cognitive behavioral therapy leads to unintended consequences for clients—even when it is applied in a culturally responsive manner. In this article, we outline some potential harms that could result from (over-)focusing on individual-level factors in cognitive behavioral therapy with oppressed groups. First, we review current knowledge of stigma processes, and how this knowledge is reflected in current cognitive behavioral approaches. Then, we outline potential unintended harms that could result from focusing on individual-level factors over structural factors in cognitive behavioral therapy with stigmatized groups. Finally, we discuss future directions for research and practice that can examine and, if necessary, remedy these harms.
Legal Representation in Disability Claims
Authors: Hoynes Hilary , Maestas Nicole , Strand Alexander
Published: September 2023

Legal representatives play a prominent role in the Social Security Disability Insurance adjudication process, earning fees totaling $1.2 billion in 2019. Long ubiquitous in appellate hearings, disability representatives—including attorneys and non-attorneys—have begun appearing more frequently at the beginning of cases, during the initial review. This development has raised questions about the motives of disability law firms, who are sometimes perceived to prioritize their own interests in response to incentives in the fee structure set by the Social Security Administration. At the same time, these concerns have revealed just how little is understood about the value of legal representation for claimants in disability cases. We provide the first estimates of the causal impact of legal representation on case outcomes when representatives are engaged from the initial stage. Our analysis is made possible by new administrative data identifying representatives appointed to disability claims at the initial and appellate levels. To address selection into representation, we instrument for initial representation using geographic and temporal variation in disability law firm market shares in the closely related but distinct appellate market. Among applicants on the margin of obtaining representation at the initial level, representation improves case outcomes and administrative efficiency across several metrics. Legal representation increases the probability of initial award by 23 percentage points, reduces the probability of appeal by 45 points, and induces no detectable change in the ultimate probability of award (including appeals). This pattern indicates that legal representation in the initial stage leads to earlier disability awards to individuals who would otherwise be awarded benefits only on appeal. Furthermore, by securing earlier awards and discouraging unsupported appeals, representation reduces total case processing time by nearly one year. Our analysis explores several mechanisms.

Developing a rural Veterans Affairs health care research program: Diligence and unique resolutions
Authors: Goetschius Amber , Peek Brian , Geigle Paula Richley
Published: September 2023

LAY SUMMARY

Development and growth of a rural Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) research program is one way to provide best care. This article reports the steps and barriers to building a rural research centre, using examples from western North Carolina. One goal driving the research centre’s creation was to increase under-served communities in the research workforce and among participants enrolled in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) research. The VHA reports health care differences for 4.7 million rural and highly rural Veterans, with rural Veterans using VHA services differently than urban and suburban Veterans. A total of 58% of rural Veterans enroll in the VHA, compared with 37% of urban and suburban Veterans. To achieve optimal Veteran health, all Veteran sub-groups must be adequately represented in clinical research trials, but rural Veterans are currently not equally represented. Research centre development steps included: 1) hiring a program specialist to focus on developmental needs, 2) finding a local program assistant to address the details required to develop a research centre, 3) obtaining a designated regulatory staff member, 4) negotiating staff, space, and focus needs, 5) hiring an experienced researcher to support initial research efforts, and 6) networking with other VAMCs, hospitals, agencies, and universities to create a best-care community.
Hazing in the military: A scoping review
Authors: Kröger Charlotte , Venema Nynke , van Baarle Eva
Published: September 2023

LAY SUMMARY

Initiation rituals have existed in the military for a very long time. The goal of these traditions is generally to introduce (new) military personnel to the organization, to learn about hierarchies, practices, and norms, and to make sure personnel are committed to and identify with the armed forces. However, hazing can also occur. Hazing refers to initiation activities that are abusive and include harassment and humiliation. These activities can cause severe mental and physical harm to the health and well-being of military personnel. Hazing can also negatively affect the functioning and effectiveness of individuals and entire units in times of peace and war. Many military organizations and scholars agree that hazing is dangerous and unethical. However, hazing still exists. This scoping review was conducted to gain more insight into what is known about hazing in the military, why it occurs, and what may be done to prevent it. Findings show that more research is needed, and military organizations may have to rethink their approaches to hazing if they want to prevent it and protect personnel from harm.

Published: September 2023

This study aims to examine the existence of counselors as caliphs based on the perspective of maudhu'iy interpretation. The existence of counselors as a profession is considered to have a duty that must be carried out in Islamic da'wah. The task in question is as a caliph on earth. The study of these verses uses the maudhu'iy interpretation method or thematic interpretation. Tafsir maudhu'iy is an interpretation that collects and examines verses on similar themes or issues. In this study focused on the topic of the verses of the AlQuran relating to the caliph and its relation to the existence of counselors. This research is a library research which aims to collect bibliographical data to solve a critical and in-depth study of relevant library materials. Data collection techniques use documentation methods, such as: books, e-books, journal articles, etc. The data analysis technique used is content analysis, namely by selecting, comparing, combining, sorting out various meanings, until relevant data is found. The conclusion is that counselors must equip themselves with knowledge and reflect the personality of the Islamic counselor.

Authors: Paula Manoel Tavares de , Pontes Altem Nascimento
Published: September 2023

Desde o começo da sua colonização, a Amazônia sofre por ser alvo de atividades econômicas predatórias no uso de seus recursos naturais, como a exploração madeireira ilegal, a mineração e a expansão agropecuária em áreas de floresta. Nas últimas duas décadas, diversas iniciativas têm sido implementadas para promover o desenvolvimento sustentável na região, sendo este um desafio complexo, que envolve o equilíbrio entre o crescimento econômico e a preservação ambiental e cultural da região. Entretanto, nos últimos anos essas iniciativas foram desestimuladas, favorecendo o desenvolvimento econômico em detrimento da proteção ambiental e dos direitos humanos, colocando em risco a saúde e a segurança das comunidades indígenas e tradicionais, e contribuindo para o desmatamento e a degradação da Amazônia. Apesar disso, a conscientização por parte da população e da comunidade científica sobre a importância do uso dos recursos naturais e da preservação da Amazônia ainda foi mantida. Espera-se atualmente que essas iniciativas de desenvolvimento sustentável na região sejam novamente estimuladas e fomentadas, conciliando o crescimento econômico com a preservação ambiental e cultural da região. Esse panorama de uso dos recursos naturais e do desenvolvimento sustentável da Amazônia é apresentado dentro da visão dos autores de cada capítulo deste e-book. Com a abordagem de assuntos de diversas áreas do conhecimento, esta coletânea de artigos se apresenta como uma abordagem multidisciplinar, contemplando sobre áreas de proteção ambiental, agropecuária, conservação e uso de flora e fauna, mineração, saúde e recursos hídricos dentro do bioma amazônico. Assim, este e-book pretende somar aos esforços das iniciativas de desenvolvimento sustentável, a fim de estimular o crescimento econômico, bem como garantir a sustentabilidade das populações locais e a conservação da biodiversidade e dos ecossistemas amazônicos.
