The results show that the essence of marriage guardians, such as protecting women's rights and giving consent in good faith and being a mediator in resolving conflicts, remains relevant in maintaining a just marriage institution. However, challenges arise in the context of an increasingly inclusive and complex modern society. A solution is needed to integrate Islamic values that respect gender equality with tradition and modernity. An in-depth understanding of the essence of marriage guardians from the perspective of the Koran is important to support healthy and harmonious marriage relations in this era of globalization.

 

 

 
Pandangan Yusuf Al-Qardhawi Terhadap Penggunaan Pil Penunda Haid
Authors: Budiman Ahmad
Published: January 2024

Ketika seorang wanita telah memasuki masa haid, maka dilarang melakukan ibadah-ibadah yang juga diharamkan kepada  orang yang sedang junub, seperti  shalat, puasa, haji / umrah, menyentuh Alquran dan berhubungan suami isteri. Hal tersebut menjadikan kurangnya waktu bagi kaum wanita untuk mendapatkan amalan kebaikan dari ibadah-ibadah tersebut. Karena alasan tersebut, maka sebagian wanita ingin menunda waktu haid mereka khususnya ketika menjalankan ibadah puasa Ramadhan , ibadah haji dan berhubungan di malam pertama dengan mengkonsumsi pil penunda haid. Terkait hukum penggunaan pil penunda haid ini, ulama mempunyai beberapa pendapat atau pandangan hukum dan salah satunya adalah Yusuf al-Qardhawi sebagai salah seorang sosok ulama kontemporer. Peneliti menggunakan metode  penelitian pustaka (library research) dengan teknik analisis deskriptif dengan sumber data berasal dari  berbagai sumber yang relevan dan terkait dengan penelitian yang peneliti lakukan. Hasil dari penelitian ini bahwa Yusuf Qardhawi membolehkan  wanita muslimah  menggunakan pil penunda haid pada bulan Ramadhan dan saat menunaikan haji (thawaf ifadhah) serta untuk malam pertama. Kebolehan tersebut atas dasar pertimbangan penggunaan  pil tersebut dapat dipertanggungjawabkan tidak akan menimbulkan mudharat.
When a woman has entered her menstrual period, she is prohibited from carrying out acts of worship that are also prohibited for people who are junub, such as praying, fasting, Hajj/Umrah, touching the Koran and having sex with husband and wife. This results in a lack of time for women to get good deeds from these worship services. For this reason, some women want to delay their menstruation, especially when fasting during Ramadan, performing the Hajj and having sex on the first night by taking menstrual delay pills. Regarding the law on the use of menstrual delay pills, scholars have several opinions or legal views and one of them is Yusuf al-Qardhawi as a contemporary ulama figure. Researchers use library research methods with descriptive analysis techniques with data sources coming from various sources that are relevant and related to the research that the researcher is conducting. The results of this research are that Yusuf Qardhawi allows Muslim women to use menstruation delay pills in the month of Ramadan and when performing the Hajj (thawaf ifadhah) as well as for the first night. This ability is based on considerations that the use of the pill can be accounted for and will not cause harm.
Orta Çağ’da İslam Dünyasında Yazılmış Eserlerde “Çiçek ve Kızamık” üzerine-Altın Çağ-I: Kāmilu’ṣ-Ṣınāʿati’ṭ-Ṭıbbiyye
Authors: ACIDUMAN Ahmet
Published: January 2024

Amaç: Orta Çağ’da İslam dünyasında “Altın Çağ” olarak adlandırılan dönemde kaleme alınmış eserlerde yer alan çiçek ve kızamık hakkındaki bölümlerin Türkçeye çevrilmesi, değerlendirilmesi, tartışılması ve Türk tıp tarihi literatürüne kazandırılmasının amaçlandığı çalışmanın bu basamağında ʿAlī b. el-ʿAbbās el-Mecūsī’nin ünlü eseri Kāmilu’ṣ-ṣınāʿati’ṭ-ṭıbbiyye’nin çiçek ve kızamık üzerine yazılmış bölümleri incelenmiştir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kāmilu’ṣ-Ṣınāʿati’ṭ-Ṭıbbiyye’nin 1294/1877 yılında Mısır’da Būlāḳ Matbaasında basılmış olan Arapça nüshası ile İstanbul, Süleymaniye Yazma Eser Kütüphanesi, Murad Molla Koleksiyonu, No. 1482’de bulunan yazma bir nüshası kullanılmıştır. Eserin çiçek ve kızamık ile ilgili bölümleri makalenin yazarı tarafından Arapçadan Türkçeye çevrilmiştir. Çevirisi yapılan bu bölümler yazının Bulgular bölümünde sunulmuş ve elde edilen bilgiler döneme ait literatür eşliğinde Tartışma bölümünde değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: ʿAlī b. el-ʿAbbās Kāmilu’ṣ-Ṣınāʿati’ṭ-Ṭıbbiyye’de çiçek hastalığını iki kısımda ele almış, tıbbın teorik bölümlerini ele aldığı I. kitabının VIII. makalesinin 14. bölümünde çiçek hastalığının niteliği, sebepleri ve belirtileri hakkında bilgi vermiş, tıbbın pratik yönünü ele aldığı II. kitabın IV. makalesinin ilk bölümünde çiçeğin ve kızamığın tedavisi hakkında açıklamalarda bulunmuş, aynı makalenin beşinci bölümünde ise yaraların ve çiçeğin izlerinin tedavisi hakkında bilgiler vermiştir.
Sonuç: ʿAlī b. el-ʿAbbās el-Mecūsī’nin Kāmilu’ṣ-Ṣınāʿati’ṭ-Ṭıbbiyye’de çiçek ve kızamık hakkında yazdıkları, konu hakkında kendi döneminde ve öncesinde var olan bilgilerle koşutluk gösterdiği ve dönemin tıp anlayışını yansıtan humoral patoloji teorisiyle uyumlu olduğu görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte, çiçek hastasıyla aynı yerde oturmak ya da çiçek hastasının yaralarından çıkan buharın solunması gibi çiçeğin ortaya çıkışı için ileri sürdüğü oldukça orijinal fikirleriyle ʿAlī b. el-ʿAbbās el-Mecūsī’nin tıp tarihi açısından çiçek hastalığının ortaya çıkışında bulaşmaya işaret eden ilk yazarlardan birisi olduğunu söylemek mümkündür.
Pyeongsaeng-do, Paintings of an Ideal Life by Chae Yong-sin - Self-fashioning by display of selected memories
Authors: Min Gilhong
Published: January 2024

Pyeongsaeng-do, Paintings of an Ideal Life by Chae Yong-sin, a part of the Lee Kun-hee Bequest now stored at the National Museum of Korea, is a ten-panel folding screen that depicts scenes from the painter’s life: at eight years old, he learns to read from his father; at thirty-one, he marries his wife; at thirty-seven, he passes Kwagŏ, the civil service examination and takes up a government position; at fifty-one, he paints a posthumous portrait of King Taejo; he serves as governor to Ch’ilgok-gun and Chŏngsan-gun; and celebrates his 60th birthday in 1910.
On the ten panels, Chae Yong-sin depicted important events of his life such as his successful career and participation in the production of King Taejo’s portrait, to present to and commemorate with his progeny his moments of glory. Important events were carefully chosen, edited, and drawn on each screen. The correspondence of represented events with the record of Chae’s life made by Kwŏn Ch’ŏlsu in 1924, the similarity in style of the people, buildings and other motifs to his other paintings, and the fact that he referred to himself as “an old man of eighty years” since he was seventy years old, all suggest that Chae actively participated in the making of this ten-panel painting around 1920. In addition, the painting faithfully reflects contemporary culture—the white patterns for pŏsŏn, changsŭng that acted as a signpost—, serving as an important visual document to how people lived in early modern Korea.
The Dynastic Deity of the Liao Imperial Family -The White-robed Guanyin Statue from the Heavenly Palace of the Qingzhou White Pagoda
Authors: Seong Seoyeong
Published: January 2024

The Liao shi and the Qidan guo zhi contain intriguing records about the Liao imperial family’s faith in the White-robed Guanyin. One is that Emperor Taizong enshrined a statue of the White-robed Guanyin at Xingwang Temple in Mt. Muye and honored the bodhisattva as a dynastic deity who guarded over the imperial family. The other is that Emperor Xingzong had the statue worshipped before others during Ji shan yi, the most prestigious sacrificial ritual to Mt. Muye. This study linked these written records with the White-robed Guanyin Statue excavated from the Heavenly Palace of the Qingzhou White Pagoda, commissioned by the imperial family during the reign of Emperor Xingzong, and examined the overall development of the faith in the Liao imperial family and the statue’s style and historical and religious background. Consequently, this examination revealed that Taizong introduced the faith of the White-robed Guanyin to pacify the discontented Han Chinese population within the empire. Xingzong, in turn, elevated the deity to the supreme position. This move profoundly impacted the faith of the people and the imperial family in the late Liao. The statue from the Qingzhou White Pagoda, in particular, with its white robe, low crown, and lotus bud, does not stop at embodying the Buddhist teachings but also represents the intricate union between the Liao imperial family’s lineage, unique ritual customs, distinct faiths, and enshrinement rituals that originated from Yanjing area, present-day Beijing. Among the surviving examples, this statue is one that most closely follows the shape of the dynastic deity of the Liao imperial family, showing that it was likely created under careful considerations of the Great Master Xuanyan Yungui, who was well-versed in the particular faith of the Liao imperial family.

Chemical and Organoleptic Quality of Beef Sausage by Substitution of Tapioca with Kepok Banana (Musa paradisiaca formatypica) Flour
Authors: Mukhlisah Andi Nurul , Ningtyas Weny Dwi , Irfan Muhammad , Syah Setiawan Putra
Published: January 2024

One of the beef processing is sausage, which is well known in the community. At this time, the need for fast food (ready-to-cook) is increasing. The main ingredient used to produce sausages for stuffing is tapioca flour. The increasing price of tapioca flour is due to the high demand for its use in processed foods, so it is necessary to find alternative fillers that are more affordable. Kepok banana flour (Musa paradisiaca formatypica) has a starch content that is relatively similar to tapioca, so it can be used as an alternative raw material. This study aimed to determine the chemical and organoleptic quality of beef sausage made with Kepok banana flour. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments, namely X0 = (control) 0% Kepok banana flour + 20% tapioca; X1 = 5% Kepok banana flour + 15% tapioca; X2 = 10% Kepok banana flour + 10% tapioca; X3 = 15% Kepok banana flour + 5% tapioca; X4 = 20% Kepok banana flour + 0% tapioca, with each treatment consisting of 4 replicates. The variables observed were protein content, moisture content, crude fibre, fat content, ash content and organoleptic of beef sausage. The results showed that the addition of Kepok banana flour in beef sausage processing had a significant effect (P<0.05) on protein content, fat content, moisture content, crude fibre, color, flavour, and aroma, but no significant effect (P>0.05) on ash content and texture of beef sausage. It is concluded that beef sausage made with kepok banana flour as a substitute for tapioca flour produces sausage with better chemical and organoleptic properties than beef sausage made with tapioca flour only. Kepok banana flour can be used as a filler in the production of beef sausage.

Published: January 2024

This study, aimed to determine the shape features of the New Zealand rabbit skull and to reveal the differences between individuals and genders in terms of shape features. For this purpose, the geometric morphometry method was used. A total of 10 female and 10 male New Zealand Rabbit craniums were used. The skulls were photographed in a dorsal, ventral and lateral view, and the mandible was photographed in a lateral view. Homologous landmarks were marked on the photographs. Consensus graphs were created by the TpsRelw (Version 1.70) program. Additionally, principal component analysis and relative warp analysis were performed. As a result of the study, principal components explained 34.813%, 57.225% and 42.427% of the total shape difference in the dorsal, ventral and lateral views of the skull, respectively. In the first principal component graph obtained as a result of principal component analysis, no significant clustering was observed between genders. According to the graphics obtained in the MorphoJ program, inter-individual variation was detected mainly in the viscerocranium, followed by the neurocranium. This study will contribute to morphological and archaeological studies on rabbit skulls.
Open Scholarship and Transparency in Applied Linguistics Research
Authors: Al-Hoorie Ali H. , Marsden Emma
Published: January 2024

The Open Scholarship (OS) movement embodies major shifts in research culture, infrastructures, and practices, from initial design, through peer review, to dissemination of findings. The ultimate aim of the movement is to improve transparency of research by making the entire research process freely accessible to and findable by all. It is driven by a range of motives, including economic, scientific, social, pragmatic, and personal reasons, as well as a very important set of equality, diversity, and inclusion rationales with relevance from local to global levels. OS operates on a continuum of openness and is observable to different extents across different areas and subdomains within applied linguistics. This entry describes these practices and their driving forces. It also considers some of the benefits and challenges of OS and highlights some OS initiatives that originated from or have been adapted to the field of applied linguistics.
Taking twelve slow breaths enhances cardiovascular and cognitive plasticity in young and older adults.
Authors: Cammarata Celine , Zhou Nan , Markello Ross D. , Riley Elizabeth , Anderson Adam K. , De Rosa Eve
Published: January 2024

Slow controlled breathing is an ancient practice for mental and physiological calm and is often distilled in the present-day advice to ‘take a deep breath.’ However, the effects of slow breathing on cognition and its underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here we examined the capacity for brief slow breathing (6 breaths per minute) to engage the vagal nerve and enhance learning and cognitive plasticity across the lifespan. Two minutes of slow breathing increased vagal regulation of the heart, enhancing variability in beat-to-beat cardiovascular dynamics. Following slow breathing, vagal modulation transferred to cognitive performance, enhancing stimulus-response (S-R) learning and then adaptive re-learning when S-R contingencies changed. These effects were particularly potent with increasing age, resulting in performance equal to participants over forty years younger. Taking twelve slow deep breaths has short-term benefits for cardiovascular and cognitive plasticity, hypothetically via vagally-mediated brainstem modulation of the heart and the brain, rejuvenating functions altered by aging.
Objective Numeracy Exacerbates Framing Effects from Decision-Making Under Political Risk
Authors: Fitz Erin B. , Stecula Dominik , Hitt Matthew P. , Saunders Kyle L.
Published: January 2024

While Prospect Theory helps to explain decision-making under risk, studies often base frames on hypothetical events and fail to acknowledge that many individuals lack the ability and motivation to engage in complex thinking. We use an original survey of US adults (N = 2,813) to test Prospect Theory in the context of the May 2023 debt ceiling negotiations in the US Congress and assess whether objective numeracy moderates framing effects. We hypothesize and find evidence to suggest that most respondents are risk-averse to potential gains and risk-accepting to potential losses; however, high numerates are more risk-averse and risk-accepting to gains and losses, respectively, than low numerates. We also find that need for cognition interacts with numeracy to moderate framing effects for prospective losses, such that higher need for cognition attenuates risk-acceptance among low numerates and exacerbates risk-acceptance among high numerates. Our results are robust to a range of other covariates and in models accounting for the interaction between political knowledge and need for cognition, indicating joint moderating effects from two knowledge domains similarly conditioned by the desire to engage in effortful thinking. Our findings demonstrate that those who can understand and use objective information may remain subjectively persuaded by certain policy frames.

Published: January 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic is a historic event impacting children around the globe. Prior research on the educational experiences of children during the COVID-19 pandemic focused almost exclusively on spring 2020. This paper extends this literature past the initial shock of spring 2020, capturing the first full school year (2020-2021) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This registered report study utilized a national sample of 1,666 United States twins in kindergarten through twelfth grade from 43 states to provide the current descriptive report of children’s educational experiences during this time, as reported by their parents. Specifically, we reported on school format, parents’ role in education, parent-teacher interactions, schoolwork struggles, technology access, and school services. About half of children attended in-person schooling, with many children switching from online to in-person throughout the school year. Parents saw the pandemic as a risk to their children’s education. During the 2020-2021 school year of the pandemic parents felt they had a larger role in their children’s education and were less satisfied in their interactions with teachers than what they experienced during the pre-pandemic part of the 2019-2020 school year. Children experienced more schoolwork struggles than they had in previous years, and this was similar across age groups. For most constructs, results were equivalent across age groups, but parents of younger children tended to provide more schoolwork help. Overall, this paper highlights the disruptions in their educational environments that children continued to experience though the first full school year (2020-2021) of the COVID-19 pandemic.
LA DIFUSIÓN CIENTÍFICA Y EL POSICIONAMIENTO DE LAS INSTITUCIONES DE EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR ECUATORIANAS EN RANKINGS DE INVESTIGACIÓN
Authors: Leiva Suero Lizette Elena
Published: January 2024

La difusión científica desempeña un papel crucial en el posicionamiento de las instituciones académicas de Educación Superior en los rankings internacionales de investigación. En primer lugar, la difusión efectiva de los avances científicos, técnicos y tecnológicos aumenta la visibilidad de las investigaciones realizadas por una institución (1). Publicar en revistas científicas de impacto indexadas en bases de datos de cobertura mundial, constituye un elemento primordial a considerar, al igual que participar en conferencias, simposios, congresos internacionales, permite que los resultados de la investigación académica y científica lleguen a un público más amplio, lo que a su vez contribuye a la percepción global de la calidad de la investigación realizada y generalización de resultados (2).
MATERNIDADES POSTERGADAS: VOCES DE MUJERES QUE DECIDEN ABORTAR EN EL ECUADOR
Authors: Alonso Muñiz Gina Rosa , Arias López Beatriz Elena
Published: January 2024

Introducción: El aborto voluntario es un tema en constante debate porque invade lo público y parlamentario, trayendo con ello discusiones que van hacia lo político y ético, para el Ecuador toma relevancia por las restricciones derivadas de las normas que regulan el procedimiento. En este sentido, es importante visibilizar la maternidad desde la perspectiva de las mujeres que decidieron interrumpir el embarazo, en un contexto social que muestra aristas contrarias a lo que culturalmente se ha creído que es ser madre. Objetivo: Comprender la manera cómo es entendida la maternidad desde las trayectorias de mujeres que han decidido abortar en Ecuador. Métodos: Estudio biográfico narrativo en el que participaron 19 mujeres mayores de edad que decidieron abortar en algún momento de sus vidas. La muestra estuvo conformada por 19 mujeres con edades entre 18 y 62 años. La información se recolecto a través de entrevistas a profundidad en su mayoría por medio virtual. Para el tratamiento y análisis de los datos se utilizó la propuesta de Bertaux. Se obtuvo aval del Comité de ética. Resultados: El ser y el deber ser como madres enfrenta a las mujeres a tensiones entre una maternidad positiva y satisfactoria y otra como despojo de sí mismas. Surgen tendencias no necesariamente excluyentes, que se concretan en maternidades sacrificiales, omnipotentes, como carga, imperfectas y/o unas malas maternidades. Conclusiones: El sentido que tiene la maternidad para las mujeres es fundamental en su decisión de abortar, en la medida en que los mandatos sociales y culturales de la misma se tornan en una presión adicional a la sanción y la criminalización de su decisión de abortar. Esto exige plantear una perspectiva de derechos de la salud sexual y reproductiva que les permita a las y los enfermeros, y a otros actores sanitarios, reconocer estas complejidades y tensiones para asumir su tarea de cuidado bajo una perspectiva garantista, poniendo como centro a las mujeres.

LA MICROBIOTA INTESTINAL, NUTRICIÓN Y SALUD
Authors: Vásquez Hazel  Anderson
Published: January 2024

La microbiota intestinal es el conjunto de microorganismos (virus, arqueas, hongos y protozoos) (1), que habitan  en el intestino humano conformados por más de 100 billones de bacterias, con un peso aproximado de 1,5 kg (2); distribuida en tres grandes grupos según sus funciones: bacterias patógenas en  cantidades  muy  bajas  controladas  por  el sistema  inmunitario, microorganismos comensales benéficos y patógenos sensibles (3).

 

Por otra parte su estructura comprende mas de 200 cepas bacterianas que pertenecen a tres grandes familias:  Firmicutes y Actinobacterias que son bacterias Gram positivas y los Bacteroidetes que son Gran negativos (4,5).  Se ha reportado que más del 90% de las bacterias corresponden a los filos Firmicutes y Bacteroidetes (2); El filo de Firmicutes incluye varios géneros, siendo los más frecuente Lactobacillus, Enterococcus Ruminiciccus y Clostridium. En el filo de Actinobacterias el más abundante es el género Bifidobacterium (6).

 

Al momento de nacer, el intestino es estéril y se coloniza completamente durante el primer año de vida. Entre los factores que la modulan se encuentra el tipo de parto y la lactancia materna, posteriormente, es influenciada por la genética, la dieta, y factores ambientales, entre ellos, el uso de antibióticos (4,7). Cada persona presenta una microbiota intestinal única, por ejemplo en el adulto, una dieta inadecuada, el abuso de antibióticos o el proceso del envejecimiento, puede favorecer la disbiosis intestinal determinada por una alteración de la población bacteriana, la cual puede ser cualitativa (predominio de especies distintas a las habituales) o cuantitativa (menor concentración de bacterias beneficiosas) (4).

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Carica papaya (CP) and Chromolaena odorata (CO) on growth performance, blood profile, gut integrity of broiler chicken. In a 42-day study, 200 one-day old Arbor Acre broilers were weighed and randomly allotted to 5 dietary treatments with 5 replicates having 8 birds in each group. The treatments were basal diet (negative control, NC), NC + 0.05% antibiotics (positive control, PC), NC + 3% CP, NC + 3% CO and NC + 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO in a completely randomised design. The growth performance indices were measured. On day 42, blood samples were collected, gut microbial population and histopathology were assayed following standard procedure. Results showed that average daily weight gain (g/bird/day) of birds on NC, PC and combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals were significantly similar at the finisher phase. The feed intake of birds on NC and PC was higher than those on 3% CO and combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals. The dietary treatment had effect on feed conversion ratio in the finisher phase. The highest total Lactobacillus count was observed in 3% CO leaf meal diet, while the antibiotics diet (PC) had the highest Escherichia coli count, and the lowest total Escherichia coli count (3.28 cfu x105) was recorded for birds on combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals. The histopathology of the gut shows that only those fed 3% CP had eroded villi of the mucosa layer, while all other treatments show normal mucosa layer, moderate inflammatory infiltration of the gland and lamina propia except those fed combinations of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO. Conclusively, the combination of the leaf meals at 1.5% inclusion in broiler diet had positive effect on beneficial gut microbial population.

This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical, hematological and biochemical parameters in goats with clinical and subclinical pregnancy toxemia. A total of 63 pregnant goats were included in this study. On the basis of clinical examination and assessment of β-hydroxy butyric acid concentration (BHBA) does were classified into three groups. group A: Consist of 20 healthy pregnant goats, used as control. Group B: consist of 28 does with subclinical pregnancy toxemia (SCPT). Group C: consist of 15 does with clinical pregnancy toxemia (CPT). For each case, history, age, breed, number of fetus, results of clinical examination and hematobiochemical findings were recorded and analyzed. Clinical examination in clinical pregnancy toxemic goats revealed anorexia, depression, dullness, dyspnea, weakness, dropped head, lateral recumbency, acetone smell from the mouth, grinding of teeth and neurologic signs. Hemato biochemical analysis revealed a significant increase of PCV%, BHBA, ALT, AST, urea and creatinine in clinical pregnancy toxemic goats, while there was significant decrease of serum glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, sodium, potassium and calcium. Does with subclinical pregnancy toxemia showed significantly lower serum glucose, total protein and calcium, whereas a marked increase in PCV%, urea and BHBA. The results revealed that the caprine pregnancy toxemia have severe impacts on several clinical and biochemical parameters. In order to prevent the economic loss due to pregnancy toxemia, measuring blood metabolites can be potentially useful tool for routine monitoring of subclinical pregnancy toxemia in late pregnant goats.
