Authors: Ardyanto Tonang Dwi , Khariri   , Agus Telly Purnamasari , Handayani Sarwo , Soebandrio Amin
Published: July 2024

Background

Recently, there have been reports of the rise of COVID-19 cases in several sites. The effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine was reported elsewhere. There are still questions on how the kinetics of antibody response during relatively long periods, the need for additional doses, and the effect of homologous and heterologous boosters. The study was conducted to analyze the kinetics of antibody response after the primary dose and the third dose of the ChAdOx1 vaccine in individuals previously receiving two doses of the ChAdOx1 [homologous] and CoronaVac [heterologous] COVID-19 vaccines.

Methods

The study population comprised 52 men and 98 women, divided into CoronaVac Recipients and ChAdOx1 Recipients for the first two doses according to the recommended schedule by the Ministry of Health of Indonesia [MoH].Six months after the second dose, the third dose of ChAdOx1 was administered as a homologous and heterologous booster. COVID-19 antibody levels were measured by the CMIA method before the first dose [time-point or TP1], two weeks after the first dose [TP2], before the second dose [TP3], 1 month after the second dose [TP4], 12 months after the second dose [TP5], and 18 months [TP6] after the second dose administration. Six months after the second dose, the third dose of ChAdOx1 was administered as a homologous and heterologous booster. Along with these, several epidemiological data were collected from subjects on TP1.

Results

A total of 153 serum samples were collected from subjects who had received the third dose, and the antibody response was measured. On TP1, COVID-19 antibody reactivity [the level was >50 AU/mL] was detected on 100 [66,67%] of subjects, indicating a possible previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2. On TP2, the sharp increase in antibody level was documented in the ChAdOx1 group. However, in the following data during the cohort, the gap was narrowing, and on the TP6, the antibody levels showed no significant difference between groups [p>0.05]. Likewise, no significant differences were shown between groups with or without a history of COVID-19 antibody reactivity on TP1 [p>0.05]. Considering epidemiological characteristics, no significant differences were documented based on sex, age groups, and BMI level.

Conclusion

This study provides a deeper understanding of the kinetics of antibody levels longitudinally among those with and without previous history of SARS CoV-2 infection, among the recipients of different vaccines, and the recipients of homologous and heterologous boosters. It is necessary to elucidate further in the next study how the level of antibody reflects the neutralizing antibody level as an indicator of protection against the infection risk.

Authors: garg Nidhi , Chutani Gautam , Bohra Himanshu , Chaudhary shagun , Sharma Preeti
Published: July 2024

Background:

With the advancement in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, cells start to
deteriorate, which eventually creates physical dependency and mental instability that interferes
with daily living. Presently, this disease is immedicable. Therefore, the only suitable treatment is
early detection and prevention.
Although many studies have investigated the usefulness of deep learning in AD detection, relatively
few have focused on the necessary image preprocessing processes, which are essential to
any computer-aided diagnostic system. Furthermore, an optimal classification strategy that takes
into account a diverse handful of prominent features is required.

Method:

This paper focuses on improving MRI-based AD detection by incorporating image enhancement
approaches and deep hybrid learning into a fused framework to harness the power of
multiple Deep Learning (DL) architectures and Machine Learning (ML) classifiers. The deep features
extracted from three heterogeneous CNN architectures, namely, VGG16, DensetNet169, and
MobileNetV1, are fused to produce a more informative and discriminative hybrid feature. Furthermore,
the mRMR approach was used to optimise the acquired features, followed by classification
via a stack of multiple ML classifiers to predict the target class.

Results:

The proposed architecture based on feature fusion strategy and ensemble learning resulted
in 99.53%(Accuracy), 99.73%(Precision),99.70%(Recall), and 99.72% (F1 score). The presented
model outperformed individual deep CNN architectures.

Conclusion:

Lastly, we present a sobol-based sensitivity analysis that illustrates the concentration
of the presented technique upon significant regions of the image and can assist medical professionals
in decoding the decisions. The presented technique exeplifies the potency and constancy of
categorizing Alzheimer's disease.

Authors: Setyowati Danti Utami , Rohman Mohammad Saifur , Prasetya Indra
Published: July 2024

Background: Surgery is acceptable as a standard treatment of Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) Disease in a stable angina condition. But, in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) setting, LMCA intervention is a still clinical challenge in many cardiac centers. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has emerged as a suitable alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for high-risk complex coronary artery disease (CAD) scenario. This study aimed to outline the management of NSTEMI patient include LMCA disease. Case presentation: A 72-year-old male presented with persistent chest pain, with a confirmed NSTEMI. A coronary angiography was done and revealed Three Vessel Disease (TVD) and Left Main (LM) CAD with highly calcified stenosis in the distal LM and Left Anterior Descending (LAD). An early invasive procedure was successfully performed for severely calcified LAD artery and distal LM lesions, using proper selection of several bail-out pre-dilatation difficult attempts such as scoring ballon and rotational atherectomy (RA). We observed the aftercare period, which showed no subsequent ACS events. Conclusion: Managing ACS patients requires careful consideration and risk assessment before deciding on revascularization procedures, especially in high-risk case such as LMCA disease. PCI can be an effective treatment strategy for this population but require good consideration of patient’s anatomical factors, comorbidities, the availability of appropriate skill and equipment.

Authors: Suprayoga Imam Mi'raj , Kurnianingsih Novi , Sargowo Djanggan
Published: July 2024

Background: Patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) undergo a standard puncture below the knee to access the great saphenous vein (GSV) for endovenous laser ablation (EVLA). However, in some cases, getting a puncture below the knee is difficult; a puncture above the knee to access the incompetent saphenous vein is another option. Objective: This study compared CVI patients' clinical results after EVLA with below- and above-the-knee punctures. Material and Methods: This retrospective, single-centre cohort study compared clinical outcomes after two EVLA technical punctures (puncturing the GSV below- and above-knee). At all follow-up visits, clinical outcomes, closure rate, and complications were assessed. Result: This study has recruited 248 patients, with 132 patients in the below-knee group and 116 patients in the above-knee group. Similar clinical outcomes after the procedure were seen in both groups with improving of the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) and the Venous Disability Score (VDS) (p < 0.05). The closure rate in both groups was 97% (p = 0.595). Complications, including thrombosis, bruises and paresthesia did not show statistical significance between groups (p = 1.000, p = 0.101 and p = 0.667 respectively). Burn injury was absent in both groups. Conclusion: The EVLA for incompetence GSV using an above-knee puncture was safe and effective and should be considered as an alternative method if the below-knee puncture fails in Non Ulcer CVI patients.

Diet Composition and Food Preference of Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros coronatus in Pench Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India
Authors: Borode Nikhil
Published: July 2024

Hornbills are large sized fruit eating birds important in forest ecosystems as they help in natural forest regeneration through seed dispersal. Thus they also help in forest ecosystem resilience. In the vast and iconic forests of Central India, Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros coronatus is perhaps the largest frugivore bird species and therefore plays a vital role in maintaining broadleaved forest ecosystems in the region. To better understand this role played by MPH, we studied its diet at Pench Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh during the non-breeding and breeding seasons during a span of two years, i.e., January 2021 to December 202It was found that MPH consumed fruits belonging to 22 plant species during the non-breeding season (August to February); and fruits belonging to 32 plant species were consumed during the breeding season (March to July). Overall, fruits belonging to 11 fig species and 26 non-fig plant species were taken in both seasons. Fruits belonging to the Moraceae family were the most preferred among all plant species in the hornbill diet. Eleven plant species belonged to Moraceae, two each to Euphorbiaceae and Anacardiaceae, and the rest to other families like the Annonaceae, Ebenaceae, Boraginaceae, etc. The diet also included animal matter including insects, crabs, scorpions, mollusks, frogs, geckos, lizards, birds, eggs, chicks, squirrels, bats and rats. These were supplied by male hornbills to nest inmates during breeding the season. Of the 11 fig species, Ficus benghalensis was the most preferred, followed by Ficus religiosa; and among non-fig plants, Putranjiva roxburghii was most consumed by A. coronatus, possibly because of its fruiting during both the breeding and non-breeding seasons. On average, male paid 10 visits to the nest per day. In the post-hatching period, the frequency of the supply of animal matter was found to increase with the maximum supply of insects and their larvae in the months of June and July.

Authors: Gupta Moti Lal
Published: July 2024

Catharanthus roseus Linn., often known as Shadabahar, is a medicinal herb whose leaf extract has traditionally been used to prevent type 2 diabetes. The study’s objectives were to identify lead small molecules as diabetic medications phytocompounds using molecular docking, as well as to determine the bioactive pharmacokinetics of plants and ADMET (absorption–distribution–metabolism–excretion–toxicity) characteristics. In silico analysis of ADMET properties of four phytocompounds and a common synthetic medicine using PkCSM software, as well as receptor-ligand binding energy along with interaction studies through molecular docking for phytocompounds found in Catharanthus roseus Linn. on tyrosine phosphatase 1B or TP1B (PDB ID: 2BGD) followed by Thioredoxin interacting protein or TXNIP (PDB ID: 4LL1) as a causative agent for T2D was done. The molecular docking was carried out using AutoDock 4.2 to determine the optimal binding affinity & energy. The molecular interaction was visualised using the molecular graphics laboratory (MGL)/ Chimaera X tool. Petunidin, Hirsutidin, Catharanthine, and Vindoline from Catharanthus roseus & Rosiglitazone demonstrated satisfactory findings on the numerous parameters used to evaluate the ADMET qualities.The molecular docking revealed that Hirsutidin had a lower binding energy (-7.62 Kcal/mol) on the TP1B receptor than Catharanthine on the TXNIP receptor (-5.8 Kcal/mol) when compared with synthetic medicines Rosiglitazone which had binding energy (-7.12 Kcal/mol) & (- 4.75 Kcal/mol) on the TP1B and TXNIP receptors. Finally, the predictions indicated that Hirsutidin or Catharanthine might represent a promising lead option for T2D prevention. It is proposed that the current prediction be validated with experimental toxicology & pharmacological assays in the future.

Authors: De Rynck Wim
Published: July 2024

This text deals with the social meaning of popular music. Based on the theory of the public sphere, it tries to show the role and functions of popular music in the system and lifeworld and public and private level of the ‘societal grid’. The article gives an overview of the research on popular music. It is pointed out that popular music can only be known by looking at all levels of society at the same time. Moreover it is argued that in order to derive the true meaning of pop in society, there is a need for further research into music in small countries and cultures, textual analysis of music and especially into reception research on popular music. All three directions of research contribute to a better understanding of the processes of signification in the reception of pop and should therefore be encouraged.

Authors: Van de Merlen Lisbeth
Published: July 2024

Although the press in Guatemala is more or less acting like a watchdog, its function in society remains rather limited due to a lot of problems inherent not only to the press but also to society. The main press-related problems are self-censorship, intimidation, corruption, difficulties with gathering information and the links with the economic elite, in short, the continuing discrepancy between legal framework and reality. At the same time, there is an influence from broader social phenomena: such as illiteracy and the country’s bad infrastructure.

Politiek tv-debat als strijdtoneel: relationele controle tussen debatterende politici
Authors: Gelders David
Published: July 2024

This article analyzes the control patterns in televized political debates. The modified three digit model of Ericson and Rogers (1973) is used to examine the relational control between debating politicians on television. The case study (2 Flemish telecasts, 3 independent codings) reveals that competitive symmetric behaviour is the most important control pattern, while complementarity, neutralized or submissive symmetries are of little consequence. These findings support the current thesis that important televized political debates are characterized by a high degree of competition and a strong desire to dominate.

Regulating constitutional complaint cases is the authority of the constitutional court
Authors: Sari Adnyani Ni Ketut , Landrawan I Wayan , Agustini Dewa Ayu Eka
Published: July 2024

This research aims to determine the constitutional rights of citizens through constitutional complaints based on the authority of the Constitutional Court from the constitutional law perspective. Types of normative juridical research include statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The data sources used are primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The research results show that constitutional complaints as the Constitutional Court's authority have become an urgent need to be enforced in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The authority for constitutional complaints to the Constitutional Court is eliminated, the legal implication of which is to create protection for the human rights of Indonesian citizens from actions by government officials or individuals who injure citizens' human rights and recognition of the constitution. The Court as an institution has the authority to submit constitutional complaints to the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court protects the constitutional rights of citizens if their constitutional rights are violated by the provisions of the law so that the law is then declared to be contrary to the constitution. The possibility of violating citizens' constitutional rights does not only occur through normative provisions in law. There are many ways and possibilities for citizens' constitutional rights violations, whether by the authorities or other parties.

Published: July 2024

Background

Access to evidence-based interventions is urgently required, especially for individuals of minoritized identities who experience unique barriers to mental health care. Digital mental health interventions have the potential to increase accessibility. Previous pilot studies testing HabitWorks, a smartphone app providing an interpretation bias intervention, have found strong engagement and adherence for HabitWorks; however, previous trials’ samples consisted of predominantly non-Hispanic, White individuals.

Objective

This study conducted an open trial of HabitWorks in a community sample of adults who identified as Black, Hispanic or Latinx, or both. This study aims to test safety, acceptability, and engagement with the HabitWorks app for Black and Latinx adults.

Methods

Black, Hispanic or Latinx adults (mean age 32.83, SD 11.06 y; 22/31, 71% women) who endorsed symptoms of anxiety or depression were asked to complete interpretation modification exercises via HabitWorks 3 times per week for 1 month. Interpretation bias and anxiety and depression symptoms were assessed at baseline and posttreatment assessments. Participants completed qualitative interviews to assess overall perceptions of HabitWorks.

Results

Of the 31 participants that downloaded the app, 27 (87%) used HabitWorks all 4 weeks. On average, participants completed 15.74 (SD 7.43) exercises out of the 12 prescribed, demonstrating high engagement. Acceptability ratings met all a priori benchmarks except for relevancy. Qualitative interviews also demonstrated high acceptability and few negative experiences. Significant improvements were found in interpretation style (t30=2.29; P<.001), with a large effect size (Cohen d=1.53); anxiety symptoms (t30=2.29; P=.03), with a small effect size (Cohen d=0.41); and depression symptoms (t30=3.065; P=.005), with a medium effect size (Cohen d=0.55).

Conclusions

This study adds to the literature evaluating digital mental health interventions in Black and Latinx adults. Preliminary results further support a future controlled trial testing the effectiveness of HabitWorks as an intervention.

Consumo de resveratrol para la prevención y control de la enfermedad periodontal
Authors: Hernández-Monjaraz Beatriz
Published: July 2024

El periodonto está compuesto por cuatro estructuras: la encía, el ligamento periodontal, el cemento radicular y el hueso alveolar. En este sentido, la afectación tanto infecciosa como inflamatoria de dichas estructuras se denomina enfermedad periodontal (EP). La prevención y tratamiento convencional de la EP, incluye lo siguiente: (i) cepillado de dientes, (ii) enjuagues con antisépticos orales, (iii) vistas periódicas (cada 6 meses) con el odontólogo para revisión y profilaxis, (iv) detección temprana de EP, (v) curetaje dental, (vi) tratamiento antinflamatorio y antibiótico de ser necesario. De lo anterior, entre los principales factores de riesgo para desarrollar EP se encuentran el envejecimiento, la falta de autocuidado y la adherencia al tratamiento, de ahí que con frecuencia los pacientes pueden presentar recidivas y complicaciones graves, tales como endocarditis y enfermedad de Alzheimer. En este contexto, se han propuesto algunas alternativas coadyuvantes para prevenir y controlar la EP, entre las que destaca el consumo de resveratrol. Por tal motivo, el propósito de este artículo es presentar los mecanismos fisiopatológicos de la EP y las evidencias científicas que justifican la indicación del resveratrol para la prevención y control de la EP.

Authors: Rojas Mara Leticia
Published: July 2024

El turismo internacional incide en la restricción externa al crecimiento. Por lo anterior, se analizó la relación entre turismo y la balanza de cuenta corriente (BCC) para Argentina, Brasil, Chile y Uruguay mediante un análisis de cointegración utilizando modelos autorregresivos de rezagos distribuidos. Se empleó el producto real y el tipo de cambio real efectivo como variables de control. Se corroboró la existencia de cointegración para Argentina y Brasil, ya que el turismo guarda una relación estable negativa con la BCC. En el caso de Chile, se tiene evidencia de cointegración para el conjunto de las variables, aunque los flujos de divisas por turismo internacional no parecen afectar el saldo de la BCC. Finalmente, para Uruguay no se obtuvo evidencia concluyente de cointegración.
Wavelet-based Filter Bank Approach for Image Compression and Enhancement in Alzheimer\'s Disease Diagnosis Using Medical Imaging
Authors: Mathur Bhumika , Shukla Pankaj , Kumar Dr Mithlesh
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This research presents a wavelet-based filter bank approach for image compression and enhancement in the context of Alzheimer's disease diagnosis using medical imaging. The proposed system leverages the PyWavelets and OpenCV libraries in Python to implement Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform (IDWT) algorithms. The primary objective is to develop an efficient image compression technique while preserving visual quality and enhancing relevant features for improved diagnostic accuracy. The system utilizes filter banks to process wavelet coefficients, enabling selective enhancement of patterns or biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease. Results show that the decompressed images closely resemble the originals, with low Mean Squared Error (MSE) and high Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) values. Visual inspection and quantitative metrics confirm the successful preservation of image quality and structural details. The wavelet coefficients visualization highlights the captured significant features crucial for reconstruction

The aim of this study is to determine pregnancy-related, and trait anxiety in the prenatal period and its affecting factors.
Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 245 pregnant women in the obstetrics clinic of a tertiary healthcare institution between March and August 2022. The sociodemographic, obstetric, and internet use of the participants were questioned. Pregnancy-related anxiety was assessed by using Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised-2 (PRAQ-R2), and trait anxiety was assessed by using State–Trait Anxiety Inventory-I (STAI-II).
Results: Pregnant women’s mean scale score for STAI (trait) was 45.54 ± 6.32, for PRAQ-R2 total score was 27.80 ± 8.32, for PRAQ- Fear of giving birth score was 10.12 ± 3.92, PRAQ- Worries about bearing a physically or mentally handicapped child score was 10.44 ± 4.11, and PRAQ- Concern about own appearance score was 7.24 ± 2.86. Pregnancy-related Anxiety Scale score was higher in nulliparous than multiparous (p=0.002) and 30-35 age groups than others (p=0.014). Having a chronic disease is related to a higher anxiety score (p=0.028). Trait anxiety scores were higher in nulliparous (p=0.005), those with low income, those with chronic diseases (p=0.032), and those with a history of children with congenital diseases (p=0.013). Anxiety scores were higher in pregnant women who used the internet as a source of information about pregnancy (p=0.002), and those who use the internet more (p=0.023). There was a significant positive correlation between STAI (trait) anxiety and PRAQ total score ( r:0.292, p<0.001 ), PRAQ- Fear of giving birth (r:0.145, p=0.024), PRAQ- Worries about bearing a physically or mentally handicapped child (r:0.270, p<0.001), and PRAQ- Concern about own appearance (r:0.254, p=<0.001).
Conclusion: Pregnancy-related anxiety was higher in nulliparous, 30-35 age groups, having a chronic disease, husbands' high education status, and having trait anxiety. Information obtained from the internet and the time spent on the internet are associated with increased pregnancy anxiety. Future studies should focus more on predicting factors affecting pregnancy-related anxiety and estimating risks for pregnant women.

Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a non-articular, chronic rheumatic disease with unknown etiology, characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, sleep disorder, fatigue, and the presence of numerous tender points. Working with the shift work and night shift system contradicts the normal biological rhythm of the body and negatively affects the person in many ways. The complaint of sleep disorder is widespread in patients with FM; close to 100% prevalence has been reported in some studies. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fibromyalgia and shift working order in our hospital staff.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in our university hospital. 120 people who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study, and 80 were accepted. As a control group, 95 people were reached, 80 of whom agreed to participate in the study. The Fibromyalgia Impact Scale (FES) was questioned in cases with fibromyalgia. The SF-36 quality of life questionnaire was applied to all the cases in which the study was conducted. 1990 ACR Fibromyalgia Diagnostic Criteria were used for diagnosis. The Fibromyalgia Impact Scale (FES) was questioned in cases with FM.
Results: The average score of all SF-36 quality of life questionnaire sub-field groups was significantly higher in the control group than in the group who stand duty (p <0.05). There is a difference between the study group and the control group in terms of "physical function" (p<0.001). The "physical function" score is higher in the control group. A significant difference was found in SF-36 subgroups in cases with FM (N:39) compared to cases with non-FM (N:141) (p<0.05). General health status was more negatively affected in the cases with FM. There is a weakly positive linear relationship (borderline significant) between FES1.2 (laundry) and "social function" (r=0.349, p=0.054). There is a moderately negative linear relationship between FES1.3 (preparing meals) and “general health” (r=- 0.420, p=0.019)
Conclusion: As a result, fibromyalgia is more common in health workers who are working night shifts and have at least four night shifts a month. This situation negatively affects health workers' quality of life and general health. the number and intensity of night shifts per person should be minimized as much as possible to reduce the potential negative impact of night shifts on workers, especially in the lines of work where a shift work order negatively affects the human biological clock.

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the patients who were consulted to psychiatry while receiving inpatient treatment due to COVID-19 infection based on sociodemographic data, medical history, diagnoses and treatments.
Methods: This is a retrospective study in which the consultations were retrospectively reviewed using information obtained from electronic medical records. The consultant psychiatrists created a structured data collection form to evaluate the clinical and demographic features of the patients.
Results: Ninety-nine of the psychiatry consultation results of patients were evaluated. The mean age of patients was 64.48 ± 18.82. The most common medical diagnoses are hypertension (n=32, 32.3%) and heart disease (n=21, 21.1%). The most common reason for consultation was agitation (n=27, 27.2%), and the most common diagnosis was delirium (n=25, 25.2%) and anxiety disorders (n=23, 23.2%). Increasing age, presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, and oxygen inhalation therapy were factors affecting the diagnosis of delirium. In contrast, the presence of heart disease or diabetes mellitus increased the risk of anxiety disorder, and antipsychotic use decreased this risk.
Conclusion: It has been revealed that inpatients with COVID-19 were at risk of psychiatric disorders, especially delirium and anxiety disorders. Psychiatric conditions may notably influence the prognosis and treatment of COVID-19.
Discourse on the Extended Meaning of Shahada: A Cognitive-Pragmatic Approach

The existence of God is an extraordinary occurrence that presents a challenge for the limited human intellect to comprehend. Hence, arriving at that conviction necessitates unwavering trust and belief. In Islam, the affirmation of this conviction must be expressed in two lines known as the shahada. In addition to this paranormal event, the language structure pertaining to the two words found in the shahada includes the term أشهد (ashhadu), which translates as ‘I testify’. This statement assumes that the person testifying had prior knowledge of God’s existence, despite the fact that it is supernatural and challenging to ascertain. Why is the word أشهد (ashhadu) included in both sentences of the shahada? This essay seeks to examine the semantic significance of the linguistic expression realised in the proclamation of the two sentences of the shahada, specifically focusing on the word أشهد (ashhadu). This analysis will be conducted within a cognitive-pragmatic or sociocognitive framework. Typically, the cognitive pragmatics method considers not just the semantic meaning of a statement but also the pragmatic meaning of an utterance. During a speech or communication event, both of these meanings are consistently present as an individual intellectually constructs a representation of the context and scenario. The context encompasses not just tangible objects but also intangible aspects, for instance psychological and cognitive factors, including beliefs and knowledge. The findings obtained by this study indicate that the sentence أشهد (ashhadu), in addition to its semantic meaning of ‘I testify’, also possesses a pragmatic-psychological significance in the form of a linguistic texture (zauqullughoh) that may be experienced by the speaker. This may possibly offer psychological encouragement to individuals when they begin to self-explore or engage with their originator.

Islamic civilization witnessed an extraordinary agricultural revolution that played an important role in shaping the socio-economic landscape. The aim of this abstract is to provide an overview of this revolution, exploring the main drivers, impacts, and changes that occurred. This research was carried out using qualitative method. This method involves a library study which is a comprehensive literature review about the agricultural revolution in Islamic civilization and its connection with modern times. The agricultural revolution in Islamic civilization emerged during the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries), characterized by advances in various fields of knowledge, including agriculture. One of the main factors behind this agricultural revolution was the development and spread of new cultivation systems. This system not only increases agricultural productivity but also facilitates the expansion of cultivated areas in arid and semi-arid areas. Islamic agricultural practices also produced Islamic scientists such as Ibn al-Awwam who studied plants, soil fertility, and agronomy, which led to the introduction of new plant varieties and better planting techniques. Their scientific discoveries and experiments laid the foundation for modern agricultural science. In addition, the connection of the agricultural revolution in Islamic civilization with modern agriculture lies in its sustainable and efficient techniques. Emphasis on irrigation management, crop conservation, and the use of technology in line with approaches such as precision agriculture, conservation agriculture, and sustainable farming methods. In conclusion, the agricultural revolution in Islamic civilization has a great connection with modern agriculture. By taking the lessons of the Islamic agricultural revolution, we can strive to improve management in cultivation, technological innovation, and increase production in our efforts to create a resilient and productive agricultural system for the future.
