На самках белых беспородных крыс исследовано влияние комплексных соединений оксиметилурацила с аскорбиновой кислотой, с сукцинатом натрия и ацетилцистеином на экспрессию генов глутатион-S-трансфераз в почках крыс при подостром воздействии акриламида. Животные были разделены на 5 групп по 6 особей в каждой: две контрольные группы — отрицательный (вводили дистиллированную воду) и положительный контроль (вводили акриламид) и три группы крыс, которые профилактически за 1 час до введения акриламида получали комплексные соединения. Экспрессию генов Gstp1, Gstt1 и Gstm1 оценивали методом полимеразной цепной реакции с обратной транскрипцией в реальном времени. Подострое воздействие акриламида сопровождалось снижением экспрессии гена Gstt1, при этом акриламид не оказывал значимого влияния на экспрессию Gstp1 и Gstm1. Предварительное введение комплексного соединения оксиметилурацила с ацетилцистеином (МГ-10) вызывало статистически значимое повышение транскрипционной активности генов Gstt1 и Gstm1 в условиях токсического поражения акриламидом. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о способности препарата МГ-10 индуцировать экспрессию генов глутатион-S-трансфераз в почках крыс при воздействии акриламида. Вероятно, оксиметилурацил в сочетании с ацетилцистеином обладает большей антиоксидантной активностью, чем соединения оксиметилурацила с аскорбиновой кислотой (МГ-1) и с сукцинатом натрия (МГ-2).

Экспериментальная модель «социального» стресса у крыс сопровождается изменениями деятельности иммунной системы: снижены индекс реакции гиперчувствительности замедленного типа на 50 %, титр антител реакции прямой гемагглютинации на 80 %, увеличена фагоцитарная активность нейтрофилов периферической крови на 60 %, уменьшено общее количество лейкоцитов на 44 %, эозинофилов — на 29 %, увеличено количество палочкоядерных и сегментоядерных нейтрофилов на 55 % и на 100 %, по сравнению с контрольной группой животных (p < 0,05). Нейропептид Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro при внутрибрюшинном введении в дозе 100 мкг/кг/сут в течение 20 дней вызывает восстановление всех иммунных показателей. Полученные эффекты сходны с влиянием имунофана (внутрибрюшинно 0,7 мкг/кг/сут 20 дней). Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro, наряду с доказанным иммунотропным действием, обладает нейро-тропными, стресс-протекторными свойствами, что в условиях «социального» стресса определяет его преимущества перед иммуномодуляторами, в частности имунофаном.

Rhythm in Sport: Adapted rhythmic training to optimize timing and enhance performance in athletes
Authors: McCrary J. Matt , Gould Michael
Published: August 2023

Precise timing, the ability to control exactly when something should be done, integrates physical characteristics like strength, power, and technique into highly skilled sporting actions. Despite timing’s indispensability to peak athletic performance, there exist few timing-specific training methods. ‘Rhythm in Sport’ is a new training approach which adapts exercises from drummers, the elite timing experts, to athletes. This progressive series of rhythmic exercises cultivates a detailed, ‘top down’ cognitive framework of time which enhances movement precision. Use cases demonstrate broad applications of Rhythm in Sport across individual and team sports.
Integrating Diversity Research into Undergraduate Statistics: A Pre-Post Assessment of Student Perceptions
Authors: Madden Julie , Walker Ruth V , Osborn Hannah , Black Kristen
Published: August 2023

The American Psychological Association (2011; 2013) has called on psychologists to provide greater exposure to research incorporating diverse populations and broader diversity issues in the undergraduate curriculum to assist majors in preparing to work in our increasingly diverse world. To answer this call, we integrated diversity research into an undergraduate statistics course and assessed the impact on: (1) student knowledge of, interest in, and appreciation for diversity. Explored (2) the relationship between diversity fatigue and our variables of interest (e.g., diversity importance, diversity knowledge). Finally, we investigated (3) how individual difference variables (personality and Need for Cognition), impact the degree of change of perceptions toward diversity from the beginning to the end of the semester. A pre-post-course survey design was utilized, and a final sample of 202 student responses were analyzed with both quantitative and qualitative methods. Overall, the qualitative remarks indicated that many students found the course materials expanded and increased their knowledge of, interest in, and general perceptions of diversity. However, quantitative evidence was mixed. In our pre-post course comparisons, we found a small, but significant increase in diversity fatigue and no difference in our other variables; however, post-course student reflective ratings indicated a perceived increase in diversity knowledge, interest, and importance over the semester. Our results suggest students viewed the integration of diversity materials fairly positively. We encourage educators to begin the task of centering diversity-related content throughout the undergraduate psychology curriculum, including foundational courses in research methods and statistics for the social sciences.

Management of Respiratory Failure in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Patient: Case Report
Authors: Fithri Dewi Yuliana , Rismawan Budiana
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Respiratory failure in peripartum cardiomyopathy is a lethal risk. The onset of respiratory failure in peripartum cardiomyopathy is due to left-to-right heart failure, which lowers PaO2. Unfortunately, symptoms of peripartum cardiomyopathy are often non-specific and progressive, so diagnosis and treatment are frequently delayed. Case: A woman, 41 years old, 35-36 weeks pregnant, complains of shortness of breath for four days, worsening one day before hospitalization. Cough (-), The patient has no history of heart disease; this is her 5th pregnancy, and she has never complained of the same thing in previous pregnancies. physical examination of consciousness, compost mentis,BP 90/60 mmHg, HR 122 x/i, RR 32-36 x/I, T 36.5 °C,, Spo2 is 85% without O2. On examination, blood gas analysis showed a respiratory alkalosis with type 1 respiratory failure. The patient underwent an emergency cesarean section on the indication of type 1 respiratory failure—postoperative care in the ICU with the installation of a ventilator. During the five days of treatment, the patient's condition improved when transferred to the ward. Discussion: Respiratory failure in peripartum cardiomyopathy results from a low PaO2, usually accompanied by an accumulation of fluid in the interstitial lung tissue (pulmonary edema), which exacerbates hypoxaemic conditions due to decreased cardiac output. Airway protection is significant, such as performing mechanical ventilation with sedation to optimize oxygen delivery; giving inotropic (digoxin) and vasoactive drugs (dopamine or dobutamine) to increase contractility and maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) for organ perfusion; reducing preload and afterload; and maintaining negative fluid balance while paying attention to adequate organ perfusion. Conclusion: Airway patency is the primary key in the management of respiratory failure in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy

More and more corporate recruiters are (or are interested in) using Facebook fan pages to achieve their recruitment goals. Despite research interest in social media recruitment has grown rapidly in recent years, many questions remain unanswered in the literature. Why and how do companies use Facebook fan pages as a recruitment channel? What are the challenges and opportunities faced by these companies? To answer these questions, qualitative evidence collected from 29 firms operating Facebook fan pages for recruitment purposes. Results of the present study are interpreted through the lens of an extended Technology Acceptance Model. First, we identified five key determinants of the organizational adoption of Facebook fan pages (i.e., low/zero cost, popularity, contagion, usability, and interactivity). In addition, instrumental and symbolic motives have driven firms to operate fan pages in different ways. Finally, challenges and possible solutions for running Facebook fan pages were discussed. Taken together, the present study depicts the status quo of social media recruitment in Taiwan and provides future research and practical suggestions for both academics and practitioners.
Individual Differences in Fear and Self-Distancing Predict Information Processing via Problem Construal
Authors: Mayiwar Lewend , Hærem Thorvald , Furnham Adrian
Published: August 2023

In two preregistered online studies (NTotal = 984; Prolific), we examined how individual differences in fear and self-distancing predict information processing in decision-making involving risk in a business scenario. Dispositional fear was positively related to urgent and affective intuitive processing and negatively related to analytical processing. Self-distancing was positively related to analytical processing. These relations occurred indirectly via problem construal. Dispositional fear predicted less concrete problem construal, which in turn predicted more urgent intuitive processing and less analytical processing. In contrast, habitual self-distancing predicted more concrete problem construal, which in turn predicted more analytical processing and less urgent intuitive processing. Overall, these findings suggest that, in contrast to emotionally regulated decision-makers, fearful decision-makers’ tendency to construe problems less concretely (i.e., more abstractly) might hinder their ability to concretize and analyze problems involving risk.
A Comparison of Retrospectively Reported and Ecological Momentary Assessment-Reported Perceived Social Support in Predicting Ecological Momentary Assessment-Reported Non-Suicidal Self-Injury
Authors: Christensen Kirsten , Victor Sarah E. , Littlefield Andrew K. , Mitchell Sean M.
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) urges and behaviors are associated with lower perceived social support and related constructs (e.g., perceived rejection). However, no studies have examined the concordance of retrospective (baseline) and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) perceived social support assessments. Retrospective and EMA reports are often only weakly to moderately correlated; measurement approaches may, therefore, impact observed associations between variables. We tested whether average EMA-reported perceived emotional social support uniquely predicts EMA-reported NSSI urges and behaviors above baseline-reported retrospective self-report of perceived emotional social support alone. Methods: 93 young adults (ages 18-34) with past-month NSSI urges or behaviors and lifetime NSSI behaviors completed a semi-structured interview, self-report surveys, and a two-week EMA protocol. Results: Baseline- and EMA-reported perceived emotional social support were positively correlated (Kendall’s tau-b = 0.51). Average EMA-reported social support was uniquely associated with EMA-reported NSSI urges but not NSSI behaviors. Conclusions: EMA-reported perceived emotional social support captured information not represented by baseline reports alone, but improvement in model fit was modest. EMA-reported social support may further improve the estimation of EMA-reported NSSI urges if modeled as a proximal predictor of NSSI. Further work is needed to clarify temporal directions between social support and NSSI urges. Limitations are discussed.
Studying emotion regulation success in daily life – Distinctions from maladaptive regulation and dysregulation
Authors: Springstein Tabea , English Tammy
Published: August 2023

This paper aims to motivate research on emotion regulation success in naturalistic settings. We define emotion regulation success as achieving one’s emotion regulation goal and differentiate it from related concepts (i.e., maladaptive regulation and dysregulation). As goals vary across individuals and situations, it is insufficient to conceptualize emotion regulation success as maximizing positive affect and minimizing negative affect. Instead, emotion regulation success can be measured through novel approaches targeting achievement of emotion regulation goals. In addition to utilizing novel data analytic tools (e.g., response surface analyses) future research can make use of informant reports and observing ambulatory behavior or physiology. Considering emotion regulation goals when measuring daily emotion regulation success has the potential to answer key questions about personality, development, and mental health.
Obesity, psychological well-being measures, and risk of seven non-communicable diseases: evidence from longitudinal studies of UK and US older adults
Authors: Putra I Gusti Ngurah Edi , Daly Michael , Sutin Angelina , Steptoe Andrew , Robinson Eric
Published: August 2023

Background: This study examined the role of psychological well-being measures in explaining the associations between obesity and risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs: hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and memory-related disease) in older adults. Methods: Data were from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), UK (baseline: Wave 4 – 2008/2009; n = 8,127) and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), US (baseline: Waves 9 and 10 – 2008/2010; n = 12,477) with up to 10-year follow-up period in each study. Objective body mass index was used to define obesity. A range of well-being related psychological measures (e.g., depressive symptoms, life satisfaction) was available in ELSA (n = 7) and HRS (n = 15), and an index of overall psychological distress was developed separately in each study by combining select psychological measures. Health outcomes or NCDs were from a self-reported doctor diagnosis and/or other assessments (e.g., biomarker data) in both studies; and in ELSA, NCDs from linked hospital admissions data were examined. Longitudinal associations between obesity status, psychological measures, and NCDs were examined using Cox proportional hazard models (individual NCDs) and Poisson regression (a cumulative number of NCDs). Mediation by psychological measures was assessed using causal mediation analysis. Results: Obesity was consistently associated with an increased prospective risk of hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and a cumulative number of NCDs in both ELSA and HRS. Overall greater psychological distress and some individual psychological measures were associated with an increased prospective risk of heart disease, stroke, arthritis, memory-related disease, and a cumulative number of NCDs across studies. Findings from mediation analyses showed that neither the index of psychological distress nor any individual psychological measures explained (mediated) why obesity increased the risk of developing NCDs in both studies. Conclusion: Obesity and impaired psychological well-being independently and additively increase the risk of developing NCDs.
Chilean and Finnish university-based teacher educators’ agentic approaches to academic career path development
Authors: Paredes Yenny Hinostroza , Candido Helena Hinke Dobrochinski , Säntti Janne
Published: August 2023

University-based teacher educators are key agents of educational and societal change. Yet their academic careers across institutions and countries have received insufficient attention. To bridge this gap, our empirical study collected data from 12 teacher educators in different Chilean and Finnish research-oriented universities. Drawing from Archer’s social theory, we examine teacher educators’ reflexivity as a decision-making process, offering them directional guidance to act in and over their (professional) lives. We identify three agentic approaches to career path development triggered by reflexivity modes – we-relationship, excellence-driven and value-oriented – that Chilean and Finnish teacher educators practice amidst workplace structural and cultural conditions. These approaches explain their diverse professional trajectories, even under similar circumstances, and contradict ideas of linear progression and ‘one-size-fits-all’ solutions to career development. This study contributes to promoting more equitable career pathways for teacher educators in Chile, Finland and elsewhere.
Effectiveness of Dextrose Prolotherapy in Chronic Plantar Fasciitis: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Mahato Ajay , Gupta Mithlesh Kumar , Panthee Rajan , Pathak Manish Raj , Nepal Santosh
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Plantar fasciitis is a very common musculoskeletal condition encountered in the outpatient department of orthopedics. It's the most common cause of heel pain. Patients have pain on weight-bearing, which limits their activities. Usually, plantar fasciitis is diagnosed on the basis of history and clinical examination; however, X-ray and USG can be helpful in atypical presentations. Mostly, plantar fasciitis is managed conservatively, which includes stretching exercises, footwear modification, ultrasonics, and injections. Prolotherapy is a very cost-effective, and OPD-based procedure that has shown promising results in many tendinopathies. There are no other risks involved in this procedure, and patients can start light activities immediately after the injection.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dextrose prolotherapy in the treatment of chronic resistant plantar fasciitis (PF).

Methodology: This prospective, cross-sectional study, was conducted from July 2021 to December 2021 at Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital after taking permission from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC). Patient selection was done using inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 66 patients were included in the study, who received two prolotherapy injections in a gap of two weeks and were followed up after 12 weeks. Patient’s clinical (Visual Analogue Score for pain at rest and activities), functional (Foot Function Index), and ultrasonograhic (plantar fascia thickness) findings were noted pre- and post-test and were evaluated.

Results: There were 66 adult patients included in the study, out of which 39 patients (59.1%) were female and 27 patients (40.1%) were male. Their age ranged from 26 to 68 years, with a mean age of 43.91 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10.225. The mean BMI was 25.758 with an SD 2.69 (range: 19.6-33.2). The clinical score (VAS-R and VAS-A), functional score (FFI), and ultrasonographic findings (PF thickness) yielded significant outcomes following prolotherapy.

Conclusion: Prolotherapy is a safe, economical, and effective treatment module for plantar fasciitis that has shown significant improvement in pain, functional outcomes, and patient satisfaction.

An overview of Rodinia-Gondwana Supercontinents, India - Asia Collision, emergence of Himalaya and Paleobiogeography of the eastern Tethys in Indian Subcontinent, South Asia
Authors: Tewari V. C.
Published: August 2023

The existence of Rodinia Supercontinent during Meso-Neoproterozoic and its subsequent breakup and reassembly as Gondwana Supercontinent is a widely accepted hypothesis in geological history of the Earth. The breakup of the Rodinia resulted in formation of rift basins and passive continental margins around 650 Ma. Major palaeoclimatic events like Neoproterozoic global glaciation (Snowball Earth) followed by global warming have been recorded from different continents including Indian Lesser Himalaya (Blaini -Krol Cryogenian-Ediacaran Period). The emergence of multicellular Ediacaran life in the Upper Krol Formation is consistent with an increase in the atmospheric oxygen. The base of Ediacaran System in the Lesser Himalaya is established in the cap carbonate, the Blaini Formation overlying the glacial diamictites (Blainian). The pink cap carbonate of the Blaini Formation shows negative δ13C value (-3‰ PDB) and invariably correlate with the Marinoan glacial event. Large continents of Gondwanaland Supercontinent South America, Africa, India, Australia and Antarctica were located over the South Polar region and global equatorial to polar oceanic circulation was blocked and may have been the main cause of glaciation. Paleogeographically Carboniferous–Permian diamictite, coal beds and plant fossil bearing Gondwana outcrops are found in South Sikkim and Arunachal Lesser Himalaya of Northeast India. The Late Paleocene – Middle EoceneTethyan foraminiferal – algal carbonate biofacies are well developed after Late Cretaceous – Paleogene mass extinction event in the eastern Tethys, Meghalaya, east India. These Tethyan benthic orthophragmine foraminiferal –algal limestones were deposited in the passive continental margin setting of a shallow marine carbonate shelf in eastern Tethys and Standard Benthic Zones (SBZ) of the Alpine- Adriatic western Tethys are recorded from Meghalaya. The Cretaceous – Tertiary boundary is well marked in these basins by biotic mass extinction. Late Cretaceous mega ammonoid fossils and Sauropod dinosaur bones are abundantly found in the Maastrichtian Mahadeo Formation. The present δ13C and δ18O isotope data is comparable with the marine values of the limestone The Umlatodoh Limestone contains foraminiferal taxa of early Ilerdian and Middle Eocene (early Lutetian) age. The Indo-Myanmar Orogenic Belt (IMOB) represents the eastern suture of Indian plate and it was formed due to the collision of the Indian plate with the Myanmar plate. The Naga-Manipur ophiolites have been assigned to range in age from Upper Cretaceous to Eocene on the basis of faunal assemblages (radiolarian, planktonic foraminefera) in the olistolithic blocks of pelagic limestone and cherts. Pan Indian Pre and Post India–Asia Collision, emergence of Himalaya and Paleogeography of the Indian Subcontinent has been discussed in South Asia.

Published: August 2023

Air merupakan bagian penting dan tak terpisahkan dari semua makhluk hidup. Tubuh manusia sendiri terdiri dari 60-70% air. Berdasarkan analisis, CV. Samudra Buana adalah perusahaan yang menjual air isi ulang per galon dan menjual air minum per galon. Sekitar 50 galon air terjual setiap hari. Dalam pencatatan transaksi masih belum memiliki sistem yang terkomputerisasi sehingga pengolahan data penjualan galon menjadi tidak efisien karena informasi yang didapat tidak maksimal, data mudah hilang dan rusak, laporan angka penjualan harian dan bulanan tidak konsisten dan jumlah produk yang tersedia tidak sama dengan yang tertera di buku. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut diperlukan sistem informasi penjualan yang terkomputerisasi. Oleh karena itu dibuatlah sistem informasi dengan database terstruktur komputer pada CV. Samudra Buana menggunakan model waterfall sebagai metodologi pengembangan perangkat lunak, dan teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan meliputi observasi, wawancara, dan studi pustaka. Dengan sistem yang dikembangkan ini, pemilik dapat dengan mudah mencatat setiap transaksi dan menghasilkan laporan penjualan bulanan. Dengan bantuan sistem point-of-sale yang terkomputerisasi ini, diharapkan kekurangan yang ada pada bisnis dapat diatasi dengan layanan informasi yang tepat waktu, akurat dan efisien.

Perkembangan teknologi saat ini sangat pesat, sehingga penggunaan komputer menjadi penting dalam menjalankan pekerjaan agar lebih efisien dan akurat dalam memanipulasi data. Hal ini juga berlaku pada perusahaan transportasi laut yang membutuhkan sistem transportasi yang efisien. PT Humolco LNG Indonesia adalah perusahaan yang mengelola armada kapal yang terlibat dalam pemeliharaan teknis, persiapan docking , pengelolaan suku cadang, perbekalan, pengamanan, asuransi dan sertifikat kelaiklautan kapal. Namun, saat ini perusahaan masih menggunakan pendekatan proses bisnisnya secara konvensional dengan memanfaatkan aplikasi terapan microsoft excel akan tetapi belum tersistematis. Hal ini secara langsung akan menyebabkan manajemen inventaris suku cadang tidak dapat dilaksanakan secara real-time, tidak bisa dilakukan selama 24 jam, dan kurang mendukung akses data-data inventaris dari berbagai tempat atau jarak jauh. Untuk itu, diperlukan suatu sistem yang dapat mendukung dan mengintegrasikan proses bisnis dalam pengelolaan inventaris suku cadang. Untuk mendapatkan tahapan sistem yang dikembangkan secara komprehensif, dibuatlah pemrograman inventaris berbasis website dengan metode waterfall yang didukung menjadi pijakan dalam menyelesaikan tahapan demi tahapan, mulai dari analisis kebutuhan, desain, pengkodean, uji coba dan pemeliharaan. Dengan adanya sistem ini, diharapkan PT Humolco LNG Indonesia dapat mengendalikan inventaris suku cadang kapal dengan lebih efisien dan efektif, terstruktur dan terintegrasi, pihak manajemen dapat melakukan kontrol secara real-timedimanapun berada.

The utilization of alternative materials to asphalt binder in pavement aims to diminish the consumption of natural resources and energy, and in some cases, enhance pavement performance. This study thus examined the effects on physical and rheological properties of asphalt binder with 50/70 penetration, modified by soybean oil sludge at percentages of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9% by binder weight. This modification was aimed at reducing viscosity for application in recycled asphalt mixtures. The asphalt binder was assessed through rotational viscosity tests, Performance Grade (PG), and Multiple Stress Creep Recovery in natura sludge and post-drying process. Results indicated that adding sludge led to increased viscosity in the asphalt binder. The modifier also couldn't lower the PG temperature of the pure binder. The modified binders exhibited greater susceptibility to permanent deformation, except for adding in natura sludge at 9% content. Consequently, soybean oil sludge didn't act as a viscosity-reducing material and thus didn't exhibit a rejuvenating effect for use in recycled asphalt mixtures.
Keywords: recycled mixtures; rejuvenating agent; viscosity; waste.
 
Investigação reológica do ligante asfáltico modificado com a borra do óleo de soja
 
RESUMO: A utilização de materiais alternativos ao ligante asfáltico na pavimentação tem por finalidade reduzir o consumo de recursos naturais, de energia e, em alguns casos, melhorar o desempenho do pavimento. Assim, este trabalho investigou os efeitos nas propriedades físicas e reológicas do ligante asfáltico com penetração 50/70 modificado pela borra do óleo de soja nos teores de 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% e 9% por peso do ligante, empregada como o objetivo de reduzir a viscosidade para o uso em misturas asfálticas recicladas. O ligante asfáltico foi avaliado por meio de testes de viscosidade rotacional, performance grade (PG) e Multiple Stress Creep Recovery, modificado com a borra in natura e após processo de secagem. Os resultados apontaram que a adição da borra gerou um ganho de viscosidade ao ligante asfáltico. O modificador também não foi capaz de reduzir a temperatura de PG do ligante puro. Os ligantes modificados se apresentaram mais suscetíveis à deformação permanente, com exceção da adição da borra in natura no teor de 9%. Assim, a borra de óleo de soja não se configurou como um material redutor de viscosidade, e com isso, não demonstrou um efeito rejuvenescedor para uso em misturas asfálticas recicladas.
Palavras-chave: agente rejuvenescedor; misturas recicladas; viscosidade; resíduos.

This study aims to determine whether or not the learning process of Islamic religious education at State Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTsN) 3 East Aceh meets the minimum standard for educational services. This objective was motivated by the fact that the majority of regional madrasa education institutions were used as secondary educational institutions by the community due to the perception that the standard of madrasa education was relatively low compared to that of public schools. Based on this history, a study must demonstrate the integrity of the community's viewpoint. The research approach employed is a form of qualitative descriptive research. Researchers collected data through observations, interviews, and documentation. The analysis findings indicate that the learning process for Islamic religious education at MTsN 3 East Aceh satisfies the minimal service requirements for secondary education. MTsN 3 East Aceh implements education by the provisions of educational standards outlined in Permendikbudristek number 32 of 2022 concerning Minimum Education Service Standards and Regulation of the Minister of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia number 2 of 2008 concerning Graduate Competency Standards and Content Standards for Islamic Religious Education in Madrasas.
رسالة الغفران واليوتوبيا: قراءة في الأنساق الثقافية
Authors: النوم نورا علي مهدي
Published: August 2023

سعت الدراسة إلى قراءة رسالة الغفران للمعري قراءة جديدة تعيد النظر في انتمائها الأجناسي، إذ تفترض الدراسة أن العالم الأخروي الذي بناه في نصه ما هو إلا محاولة منه لبناء مدينة يوتوبية، أراد بها أن يناقض نظام الواقع ويهدمه,من خلال طرح عالم مثالي بديل، يرى أنه العالم الأفضل الذي ينبغي أن يكون. الأهداف: أولًا: كشف حقيقة العالم الأخروي الذي بناه المعري، وبيان العلاقة التي تربط بينه وبين واليوتوبيا. ثانيًا: قراءة الأنساق الثقافية التي يضمرها خطاب الغفران، وبيان مدى وعي المؤلف بها، أو تسربها إليه من ثقافة العصر. ثالثًا: التثبت من موقف المعري تجاه عالمه اليوتوبيّ الذي بناه، ومقاربة المغزى الذي يضمره خلفه. المنهجية: اعتمدت الدراسة في قراءتها لرسالة الغفران على النقد الثقافي، حيث تم النظر لعمل المعري بوصفه خطابًا ثقافيًا يضمر بداخله أنساقًا ومضامين اجتماعية وسياسية ودينية, تتصل بثقافة المجتمع، والثقافة العربية عمومًا، وقد تستّرت هذه الأنساق خلف اللغة الجمالية والبنية الإبداعية؛ لتحمي صاحبها من أي هجوم, قد يتعرض له من المجتمع أو السلطة. خلاصة الدراسة: توصلت الدراسة إلى أن رسالة الغفران أول عمل أدبي يوتوبي، بنى فيه المعري عالمًا مثاليًا بديلًا عن العالم الواقعي الديستوبي غير الجدير بالحياة، فوضع منظومة قانونية حاول من خلالها نقد نظام الواقع المعيش. كما كشفت الدراسة كثيرًا من الأنساق الثقافية المتسترة خلف اللغة الجمالية منها مايتعلق بالدين، وآخر بالمجتمع، وثالث بالسياسة، وقد أبانت الدراسة مدى وعي المعرّي في نقده لبعض أنساق الثقافة العربية، بينما وقع أسيرًا، دون وعي منه، في حبائل الثقافة العربية، وما غرسته من أنساق أخرى، خاصة ما يتصل منها بطبيعة الموقف من المرأة.
