Education has been acknowledged as the key factor contributing to personality development and identity formation. To ensure appropriate education, it is thus of utmost importance to reflect on the power of the educational content. As a result, respecting Islamic values from a major authentic source, like the Holy Qur’an, paves the ground to fulfil this goal. On the contrary, the first and foremost educators to convey these values are the family, because each person mainly spends the time of one’s education in this small, primary social institution. Above and beyond, the building block of a society and the starting point of a culture, a civilisation and human history is the family. As a noble book of guidance for the human beings, the Holy Qur’an has accordingly shed light on the role of the family. Against this background, this study, adopting a descriptive analytical approach, aimed to investigate the Islamic family from the perspective of the Holy Qur’an with an emphasis on the education of children. Accordingly, the Holy Qur’an reveals that the main purposes of creating a family are inner peace, generational survival and expansion of the faith and monotheism. A healthy family environment can thus have a profound impact on cultivating moral character and virtues. In view of the Holy Qur’an, the family is the first place to seek relief and perform the acts of worship. No divine religions have also given as much value to the family as Islam, which implies its comprehensiveness. Despite much attention to the family in most societies, it receives special importance in the Qur’anic teachings. This article is a review study that dealt with Qur’anic concepts related to education in the family. Therefore, after categorising different Qur’anic verses, analyses have been presented in each category.Contribution: Islam has set many specific programmes and educational instructions from childbirth and then delegated their implementation to the family. Accordingly, this noble religion offers many guidelines for picking a perfect name, breastfeeding and weaning, loving, observing justice and fulfilling promises in relation to children.
Signs of sexuality in a book about death seen through a psychoanalytic lens: Paradox and parody in play and perversion
Authors: Van der Zwan Pieter
Published: May 2023

Whereas the Song of Songs can be said to be about Eros, the Book of Job could be about Thanatos. Yet, the Song ends with a crucial reference to death, and in the Book of Job there are subtle traces of sexuality: the first chapter tells about probably promiscuous parties held by Job’s children who then die during such a feast. Job reacts by referring to the womb, which presumably has sexual connotations. The womb is once again an issue in chapters 3 and 10. Twice he mentions breasts, although negatively connoted. In his last speech, Job suddenly refers several times to hypothetical transgressions with women, which betrays his hidden desires behind his piety. In addition, apart from body-parts such as the feet, hands and heart, a tail, loins and even a nose might sometimes be interpreted as euphemisms with phallic hints. In the final chapter his three ‘new’ daughters are the most beautiful in the world, perhaps presenting him as eventually allowing his libido to be re-introjected. Through a psychoanalytical lens it is, however, possible to make sense of this unexpected presence of sexual traces in a book about death.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: Approaching texts from a psychoanalytical perspective challenges historical-critical exegesis by questioning its assumption that universality dissolves into historicity. It adds unconscious aspects of a text, here interpreting unexpected traces of sexuality in a book about mourning. This is done in a divergent way by pointing out various possible understandings.

Published: May 2023

Background:

Many studies show a high prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency across various populations the world over. This cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in a district located in central Haryana.

Aim:

The aim is to study the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in a district of central Haryana across various population characteristics such as gender, education, locality, occupation, and dietary habits.

Materials and Methods:

Healthy volunteers (n = 300) of either sex were enrolled and their fasting plasma samples were tested for 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25 [OH] D) levels. Data were compiled as percentages and means across different population characteristics. Statistical analysis was done using Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test.

Results:

A high overall prevalence (90%) of Vitamin D deficiency was observed in the study subjects. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of Vitamin D insufficiency between rural and urban subjects (P < 0.05) and among the subjects pursuing different occupations (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

There seems to have a high prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in the population of a small district located in central Haryana. Lower prevalence is displayed by those subjects who have greater opportunities for sunlight exposure, such as rural individuals, farmers, and housewives.

Published: May 2023

Background:

Proximal humeral fracture, whether caused by trauma or osteoporosis, requires meticulously planned individual treatment. The technique and devices used are determined by the quality of bone and soft tissue, age, and reliability of the patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional outcomes and complications of surgical neck humerus fractures (two part and three part) treated by percutaneous K-wire fixation and PHILOS plating.

Methodology:

The study includes patients with proximal neck humerus fractures (two-part and three-part) according to Neer's classification who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a PHILOS locking plate and percutaneous K-wire fixation. Functional outcomes and complications were evaluated by the Shoulder Constant score (SCS). Patients were followed up at 1, 3, and 6 month intervals until fracture union. In this study, a total of 76 patients were chosen and divided into two groups, i.e., Group A and Group B, each comprising 38 patients. Patients of Group A were treated with ORIF PHILOS plating and patients of Group B were treated with closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) percutaneous K-wire fixation.

Results:

ORIF PHILOS plating was used on 20 (26%) of patients who had an excellent SCS. 10 (13%) patients exhibited a good grade, 5 (6%) patients had a fair grade, and the remaining 3 (4%) patients displayed a poor grade. In Group B, 12 (16%) of patients treated with closed reduction with K-wire fixation had excellent grades, 7 (9%) patients had good grades, 16 (21%) received fair grades, and the remaining 3 (4%) received poor grades. After comparing both treatments, a P value was found to be 0.0403, which shows Group A was more efficient than Group B.

Conclusion:

The results of our study concluded that, as compared to ORIFPHILOS plating treatment with the CRIF K-wire fixation treatment has poor functional outcomes and a high failure rate. In addition, the surgical treatment of proximal neck humerus fractures (two part and three part) in both groups showed that the PHILOS plating provides an excellent way to achieve the goal, including time of union, fewer complications, and good functional outcomes as compared to percutaneous K-wire.

Carcinoma of esophagus is one of the cancers with a high mortality rate. Metastasis with esophageal carcinoma in lymph nodes, lung, liver, bones, and adrenal glands is a common pattern. Nowadays, uncommon sites of metastasis are increasingly reported including skin. Cutaneous metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma is more common than in adenocarcinoma. Here, we present three cases of cutaneous metastasis in patients with carcinoma of esophagus, out of which two cases were seen with squamous cell carcinoma and one was with adenocarcinoma. The prognosis in such patients is dismal and they are treated with palliative chemotherapy.
The association of dietary patterns with incident chronic kidney disease and kidney function decline among middle-aged Korean adults: a cohort study
Authors: Fu Jialei , Shin Sangah
Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the association of dietary patterns with the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney function decline among Korean adults.METHODS: Data were collected from the records of 20,147 men and 39,857 women who participated in the Health Examinees study. Principal component analysis was used to identify 3 dietary patterns (prudent, flour-based food and meat, and white rice-based), and CKD risk was defined using the Epidemiology Collaboration equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate: (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. A kidney function decline was defined as a >25% decrease in eGFR from baseline.RESULTS: During the 4.2-year follow-up, 978 participants developed CKD and 971 had a 25% decline in kidney function. After adjusting for potential impact variables, compared with the lowest quartile of the prudent dietary pattern, participants in the highest quartile had a 37% lower risk of kidney function decline among men (hazard ratio [HR], 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47 to 0.85); while higher adherence to the flour-based food and meat dietary pattern was associated with an increased risk of CKD in both men (HR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.22 to 2.19) and women (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.05 to 2.05) as well as a decline in kidney function in both men (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.07) and women (HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.33 to 2.35).CONCLUSIONS: Although a higher adherence to the prudent dietary pattern was inversely associated with the risk of kidney function decline in men, there was no association with CKD risk. In addition, a higher adherence to the flour-based food and meat dietary pattern increased the risk of CKD and kidney function decline. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm these associations.

To understand this problem better a study was undertaken in five garment factories. Sample size taken was one hundred and fifty and simple random sampling was followed.Research gap showed that continued absence might be due to increased work stress, work burnout, exhaustion and disinterest in work. It may also be due to lack of work satisfaction which was rated as one of the main reason for continued absence from the work spot.The research methodology consisted of both primary as well as secondary data .The data analysis was based on the primary data and description method was followed. The objectives consisted of finding out the reasons for absenteeism and whether it was due to the strenuous modern work culture? Suggestions were made regarding the employees who applied for long leave and never turned up on their work spot for along period which was prevalent among the floating population working in garments in Bangalore. Many workers were mentally and physically exhausted and flexi timings and shift system, sick leave facility would ease their tiredness and monotony at work. The management of these organizations have taken many employee friendly measures to ease the work atmosphere and environment such as increasing the wages of the employees from time to time and even paying extra for overtime. The importance of harmonious industrial relations cant be stressed. With both government as well the organizational management not in favour of trade unions post industrial policy of 1991 the workers themselves have to align with their company’s policies and look for ideal ways within organizational framework to solve their work issues.

Les Culturèmes : Les Difficultés De La Traduction Des Unités Culturelles : Étude Sur Les Œuvres De Hrant Matévosyan
Authors: Sargsyan Gayané
Published: May 2023

L’étude des textes littéraires a longtemps été dominée par le structuralisme. À l’heure actuelle, il est entré dans une nouvelle phase, connue sous le nom de discours. Dans cet article, à partir du concept mentionné, nous nous concentrerons sur la traduction en tant qu’activité qui nécessite non seulement des compétences linguistiques mais également des connaissances culturelles approfondies. Afin de prendre en considération l’ampleur du phénomène, dans un premier temps, nous étudierons les critères à prendre en compte lorsqu’il s’agit de traduction. Le texte littéraire peut être considéré comme une voie d’accès aux codes sociaux et aux modèles culturels car, quelle que soit sa langue d’expression, il représente les valeurs partagées d’une culture à l’autre. L’attention portée à la dimension interculturelle est évidente dans la pensée des traducteurs. Dans notre article nous tenterons de montrer que la littérature, considérée comme l’un des biais essentiels de la communication interculturelle, peut aussi conduire à un « conflit » interculturel. À cette fin, nous étudierons et analyserons la traduction des œuvres de Hrant Matevosyan Mesrop et Soleil d’automne. En effet, le traducteur omet souvent de combler les lacunes, car certains phénomènes n’existent pas dans la langue cible. Dans l’analyse qui suit, nous tenterons de montrer les procédés de traduction qu’utilise le traducteur de Hrant Matevosyan et pourquoi certaines unités culturelles restent intraduisibles. Pour la suite nous allons essayer de montrer comment un traducteur peut surmonter certains obstacles culturels à la traduction.

Research is one of the tri-focal functions of a university. The educational institution is the first home and ‘engine’ of scientific studies. Educational institutions infinitely embrace research as humans continuously thirst for knowledge to improve our quality of life. Thus, ethical research practice has always been an issue and matter of academic concern in schools. This article aims to review evidence of ethical research practices in educational institutions. The references and sources of this literature review came from known research databases such as Google Scholar, Open Access Directory Journals, and prominent University Websites with specific sections on Research and Ethics. Furthermore, this provides a better understanding and a general picture of research ethical practices in schools that led to the development of a conceptual framework that illustrates the supposed-to-be ethical research practices and standards for schools that lead to the crafting of quality studies that are worth publishing and disseminating. Research ethical considerations and principles guide research designs and implementations. These include the universal standard and norm of ensuring the voluntary participation of and obtaining informed consent from research participants (Bhandari, 2022; Felzmann, 2009; & Resnik, 2020). Furthermore, this review also led to the researchers’ assumption that research ethical practices and principles are associated with the level of personal ethics and moral values of a researcher and that there is a difference in the degree of practice and consideration of research ethics with respect to the nature, purpose, and design of research. Lastly, this article illustrated in its framework that the assumptions and the primary principles of research ethics (Resnik, 2020; & Smith, 2003) are inputs to ethical considerations in research. Hence, these concepts strongly underpin the significant roles of the technical review boards (TRBs) and the research ethics committees (RECs) in educational institutions to ensure that academic and scientific research done in the school setting is of quality and with academic integrity, credibility, trustworthiness, and rigor (Bhandari, 2022).

Retail company stock prices are interesting to study because the COVID-19 pandemic has weakened economic conditions in Indonesia and impacted the performance of retail companies. In addition, there has been a change in consumer lifestyles in shopping at retail companies over the past few years, which has changed how retail companies do business. Both problems can lead to changes in the strategy and performance of retail companies, which can ultimately affect the performance of retail companies' stock prices. Therefore, the factors influencing the stock price performance of the retail company from 2015 to 2021 were examined in this study. From the entire population, only seven companies that meet the criteria were selected as research samples according to the criteria set out in the purposive sampling method. The analysis was carried out by comparing the results of inferential statistics and descriptive statistics. Path analysis using AMOS 12 software was chosen to answer the research hypothesis. This study concludes that the stock price of a retail company is significantly affected by how profitable the company is. This study fails to prove that the ratio of inventory turnover, working capital turnover, and company size can significantly affect the stock price of retail companies. In this study, some additional intriguing things were discovered. First, variations in working capital turnover may occasionally coincide with variations in ROA and stock prices. The inventory turnover movement was consistent with the COVID-19 pandemic conditions in Indonesia, which was the second finding. The study's final finding was that changes in retail firm profitability and stock prices were only sometimes connected with changes in company size.

The changing global scenario of environmental conditions and altered microbial community has severely deteriorated the quality of water which enforced an elevated health risks on human beings due to unavailability of safe and pristine water. Citrobacter is one of the fecal coliform bacteria of family Enterobacteriaceae. It is an opportunistic pathogen formerly used as an indicator bacterium along with other fecal coliforms namely Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Enterobacter, but is now known to cause several diseases in human beings. In present study we collected 135 samples from potable water and riverine-systems and confirmed the existence of Citrobacter using the conserved sequence of gnd (6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenate) gene with the application of SYBR green real-time PCR, which demonstrated extremely high specificity, fidelity and stringency in detection strategy. The Citrobacter counts in potable water were in the range of zero to 1.54 x104 ± 572.88 cfu/100ml. The Citrobacter levels in surface water were 2.18 x104 ±848, 1.54 x104 ±462, 3.53 x104 ±1299, 2.57 x104 ±912, 8.78 x103 ±201, 1.28 x104 ±370, CFU/100ml; associated with hydrophytes were 6.24 x104 ±1535, 8.42 x104 ±2711, 1.19 x105 ±4792, 1.12 x105 ±4177, 8.32 x104 ±2329, 8.08 x104 ±2149 CFU/10g and in the sediments the counts were 2.50 x104 ±647, 5.02 x104 ±1852, 3.26 x104 ±1186, 7.65 x104 ±2884, 1.50 x104 ±355, and 2.56 x104 ±737 CFU/10g at sampling site # 1, site # 2, site # 3, site # 4, site # 5 and site # 6, respectively. The present assay could be applied in the detection and regular monitoring of potable water and other environmental samples to check waterborne diseases and outbreaks caused by Citrobacter.

Published: May 2023

Long distance and face-to-face learning activities during corona virus disease -19 (Covid-19) pandemic have both positive and negative sides. In the future, post-pandemic education should be better. This research aims to deliver an alternative formulation of education service policy post-Covid-19 pandemic with new policy ecosystem approach. The education service policy model implemented in normal period is different from that in new normal (transition) and normal period before pandemic. The research was conducted in Salatiga Government, Central java, Indonesia as the authorized organizer of primary education. The data of research was collected from elementary (SD) and junior high schools (SMP) as the unit of analysis. The sample consisted of 14 elementary schools and 8 junior high schools. Interview and observation were the technique of collecting data used in this study. Data validation was carried out using source triangulation in forum group discussion. Considering the result of research, the author recommends the education service strategy to be implemented by Salatiga Government, Central Java, Indonesia i.e.: (1) a strategy combining strength and weakness of long distance and face-to-face learning; (2) the learning source should be expanded not limited to teacher’s role domination only. More than that, learning sources obtained from internet media are broader and have varying packaging; and (2) standardization of the school’s role should be conducted dynamically building on science and technology development.
Body image assessment of fitness centers´ members & behavioral intentions: can we actually achieve members´ retention?
Authors: Tsitskari Efi
Published: May 2023

The concept of body image is multidimensional and concerns the attitude of each person towards their body and their appearance. The aim of this research was to study how Greek fitness center members evaluate their body image, and whether this evaluation is differentiated in terms of gender, age and BMI. Moreover, the study aimed to survey whether fitness center members’ body image may predict their intention to maintain their fitness center membership. The research sample consisted of 220 adult members of fitness centers in a Greek city. For the needs of this research, the MBSRQ-Appearance scale was used (Cash, 2000), including 4 factors: i) satisfaction with appearance (7 items), ii) investment in appearance (12 items) iii) anxiety with appearance and weight (4 items) iv) weight self-categorization (2 items) and v) satisfaction with body parts (9 items). The MBSRQ has been previously adapted to a Greek population with satisfactory validity results. For the intention to continue participating in a fitness center, one question based on the Theory of Planned Behavior was used: I will use the fitness center services again next year. All responses were given on a five-point Likert scale. For the needs of this research, the questionnaire gathered additional demographic characteristics of the sample’s gender, age and Body Mass Index (BMI). No statistical differences of the body image evaluation occurred depending on the sample’s sex and age. Instead, differences emerged in the way members of the sample perceived their body image, and more specifically their “Self-categorization of weight” depending on whether they were classified as "normal" based on their BMI, "overweight" or "obese". As for the intention to continue their membership, it may be predicted by the Satisfaction with body parts factor. Attracting clients to fitness services should stop focusing on promoting a fit and flawless body, encouraging people who underestimate their body image to take advantage of their services.

#bnefloods: An analysis of the Queensland Government media conferences during the 2022 Brisbane floods
Authors: Grantham Susan
Published: May 2023

Residents look to state leaders during high-risk events for advice and guidance. Previous events have reinforced the vital role that governments play in delivering emergency messages. Creating meaningful messages during emergencies is vital to inform affected populations and to encourage them to take appropriate actions. In February 2022, South East Queensland experienced a significant flooding event that resulted in the loss of life and property. This study identified that conflicting information was released due to the uncertainty of the weather event. Many residents used Twitter to post about what was being experienced, creating a real-time display of what was happening. This study analysed the public-facing government media conferences held over 4 days against Situational Crisis Communication Theory1 and compared the response to Twitter posts during the key days of the February flood. The study found an overwhelming use of the theory’s denial and diminishment approaches used by some communicators combined with the rebuilding approach used by others. This had great potential to cause conflicting and confusing messages. This research is important because language encourages people to believe that floods can be prevented. Conflicting messaging can cause significant harm by not providing clear direction regarding evacuation and other safety measures.

ICT is an important factor in supporting e-learning, especially in the post-pandemic period. However, ICT has also been found to have limitations in supporting e-learning. This study focuses on identifying the limitations of ICT support in pursuing e-learning and methods to address it at the higher education level. The final year student of Islamic studies at the Academy of Contemporary Islamic Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam was involved as a respondent (n=87) after screening. The online questionnaire is used as an instrument of data collection as e-learning is still applied. The data is analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics computer software. Friedman’s test results found a significant difference in the variable “Unsatisfactory internet access and coverage” (mean rank: 2.75) with χ2(3)=12.507, ρ=.006, and on the variable “Working in part-time jobs to accommodate the needs” (mean rank: 2.83) with χ2(3)=24.788, ρ=.000. This study suggests unsatisfactory internet access and coverage as a major factor in ICT limitations that is common in pursuing online learning among higher education students in UiTM Shah Alam. The students also had to work part-time jobs to accommodate this need. A qualitative approach, especially ethnography is recommended to be adapted to deepen the real situation based on the current reality of higher education students for future studies.

Authors: Kok Shelen Aderina , Krishnan Isai Amutan
Published: May 2023

The study aimed to investigate the language-grammar competence of first-year TESL students during interactive presentations, particularly in the introduction and closing stages. The study involved 15 participants, and a qualitative method was used to analyse the presentations' recordings. The findings showed that students struggled with using appropriate phrases in their presentations, particularly in the introduction and closing stages. This was attributed to poor language proficiency and a lack of exposure to presentation phrases. The students' use of simple sentences in the introduction demonstrated a lack of proficiency in expressing comprehensive ideas, while their lack of compound-complex sentences in their presentations reflected poor proficiency. However, the study also found that incorporating interactive presentations improved concept retention and student engagement, particularly due to the use of appropriate phrases in the closing remarks. The study suggests that presentation skills instruction should include teaching on the use and importance of presentation phrases in language and linguistic features.

Published: May 2023

The fractional vegetation coverage (FVC) can visually represent ecological changes in a region. Based on MDO12A1 data to calculate FVC, we investigated the spatial and temporal variations of FVC in Qinghai Province from 2001 to 2015 and performed correlation analysis with the annual mean temperature and annual rainfall. The results indicate that the spatial changes in FVC in Qinghai Province increase gradually from northwest to southeast and are discontinuous due to topographic variations. In Qinghai Province, the area of higher FVC decreased by 0.69% over the past 15 years, while the area of medium FVC increased by 5.75%, and the area of lower FVC decreased by 5.06%. Changes in FVC in Qinghai Province are influenced by changes in rainfall and temperature. The average partial correlation coefficients of FVC with rainfall and temperature are 0.031 and 0.117, respectively, indicating that rainfall has a more significant influence on vegetation growth when the temperature remains constant.
