Dialektika Filsafat Islam Sufistik Wujuddiyah Di Indonesia
Authors: Nur Syaifan
Published: April 2023

The first Islamic philosophy that emerged in Indonesia was the Islamic philosophy that had been linked to Sufism, or Sufistic Islamic philosophy, namely Islamic philosophy in Sufism. This is called tasawwuf falsafi. This type is based on the dzauq and ‘irfân which is different from the rational system of rational reasoning. In Indonesia, the philosophical conversation in the earliest of the philosophy of Sufism appeared in the 16th century AD In this period, the philosophical style of Sufism was taught by such figures as Hamzah Fansuri and Shamsuddin al-Sumatrânî. The monistic idea Fansuri expanded and formed the central core of the teachings and writings of al- Sumatrânî. Both are the main characters of the interpretation of the concept of wahdah al- wujûd, which is philosophical-sufistic. The influences of Fansuri and al-Sumatrân teachings are not only found in Aceh, but also to the land of Java. The philosophical Sufism of wujûdiyyah or tasawuf falsafî was strongly opposed by many scholars of the time, especially from orthodox oriented syarî’ah. The most harsh and intolerant opponent and critic of this notion is Nur al-Din al-Raniri. Repudiation and al-Raniri’s opposition to Sufistic philosophy wujûdiyyah of Fansuri is based on some evidence that he considers it deviated from pure Islamic teachings.[Filsafat Islam yang muncul pertama kali di Indonesia adalah filsafat Islam yang telah berkait-kelindan dengan tasawuf, atau filsafat Islam sufistik, yakni filsafat Islam dalam baju tasawuf. Ini disebut tasawuf falsafî. Jenis ini didasarkan pada dzauq dan ilmu ‘Irfân yang berbeda dengan sistem penalaran rasional yang ketat. Di Indonesia, perbincangan filosofis dalam corak tasawuf falsafî yang paling dini muncul pada abad ke-16 M. Pada periode ini, corak filosofis dari tasawuf diajarkan oleh tokoh-tokoh seperti Hamzah Fansuri dan Syamsuddin al-Sumatrânî. Gagasan monistik Fansuri diperluas dan membentuk inti pokok ajaran-ajaran dan tulisan-tulisan al-Sumatrânî. Keduanya merupakan tokoh utama penafsiran konsep wahdah al-wujûd, yang bersifat sufistik-filosofis. Pengaruh ajaran Fansuri dan al-Sumatrânî tidak hanya ditemukan di Aceh, tetapi juga sampai ke tanah Jawa. Paham filsafat sufistik wujûdiyyah atau tasawuf falsafî ditentang keras oleh banyak ulama saat itu, terutama dari kalangan ortodoks yang berorientasi syarî‘ah. Penentang dan kritikus yang paling keras dan paling tidak toleran terhadap paham ini adalah Nuruddin al-Raniri. Sanggahan dan penentangan al-Raniri terhadap filsafat sufistik wujûdiyyah Fansuri didasarkan atas beberapa bukti yang dianggapnya telah menyimpang dari ajaran Islam yang murni.]
Orientalisme, Oksidentalisme dan Filsafat Islam Modern dan Kontemporer (Suatu Agenda Masalah)
Authors: Syamsuddin Muh.
Published: April 2023

The intellectual nature of Islam is not a strange but soon to be felt, that Orientalism and Oksentialism are not always lived in the same image, understood in the same sense, or spoken of by using the same idioms. These differences, in addition to the variation in accentuation, also involve logical differences, both with regard to the conceptual framework, as well as with regard to the scope of interest and interests of each. Problems will arise and differences will be felt if Orientalism and Oksidentalism are not simply viewed as scientific studies, but confronted as “objective”. Orientalism and Oksidentalism as objective reality, how are they defined? Are there lingering prejudices? It should be mentioned first, that this paper wants to take a problematic position, and what is attempted here is to find the agenda of the problem. Who knows, such a position will more refer to the response and criticism that will be useful to us.[Dikalangan intelektual Islam bukan suatu yang asing akan tetapi segera akan terasakan, bahwa Orientalisme dan Oksidentalisme tidak selalu dihayati dalam citra yang sama, dipahami menurut pengertian yang sama, atau dibicarakan dengan memakai idiom-idiom yang sama. Perbedaan-perbedaan ini selain menyangkut variasi dalam aksentuasi juga melibatkan perbedaan logika, baik yang menyangkut kerangka konseptual, maupun berkenaan dengan lingkup minat dan kepentingan masing-masing. Persoalan akan timbul dan perbedaan akan terasa jika Orientalisme dan Oksidentalisme tidak sekedar dipandang sebagai suatu kajian ilmiah, tetapi dihadapkan sebagai “obyektif”. Orientalisme dan Oksidentalisme sebagai kenyataan objektif, bagaimana keduanya didefinisikan? Adakah prasangka yang membayangi? Perlu dikemukakan terlebih dahulu, bahwa tulisan ini ingin mengambil posisi problematis, dan yang diusahakan disini adalah mencari agenda persoalan. Siapa tahu, posisi yang demikian itu akan lebih mengacu respons dan kritik yang akan berguna bagi kita.]

Tarekat Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan Dan Perannya Dalam Perpolitikan Di Lombok
Authors: Ziadi M. Rohman
Published: April 2023

Tarekat is a Sufi brotherhood in which it contains and practices sufistic principles. In Sufism,there is a very thick concept, namely zuhud. Zuhud is the emptiness of search, which limits his desire to gain the world. From this it can be seen that the Sufic tradition should be reluctant to desire the world, including politics. However, the Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan as a tarekat appeared to be very active in politics, even the founder and Tarekat murshid Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan became a major driver in politics in Lombok. This is interesting, on the one hand the Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan is a tarekat, but on the other hand it looks very active in the politics of Lombok. Therefore,  the authors are interested in studying  more about the Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan and its role in politics in Lombok. There are two problem formulations in this article, namely; what is the concept of teaching the Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan Order? What is the religious foundation of the Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan Order in its political activities in Lombok? To answer the two formulations of the problem the author uses a literature review and interview research method. In addition, the author also uses two theories to dissect the formulation of the problem, namely the tarekat theory and the tarekat and political theory of Martin van Bruinessen. The tarekat theory the author uses to answer the first problem statement. While the theory of tarekat and politics of Martin van Bruinessen, the author uses it to answer the problem statement number two.
Memaknai Ulang Wacana Waria dalam Konteks Indonesia (Analisis Hermeneutika Terhadap Novel “Perempuan Tanpa V”)
Authors: Syafi’i Muhammad
Published: April 2023

The social construction of transvestites which has so far been still far from what is expected, transgenders in general often get stereotypes that have long taken root so that they become individuals/groups who are marginalized in society. They tend to be shunned because religion and morality are big questions due to their tendency to like same-sex. This  construction is entrenched and to this day, they have not received a proper place and are made as human beings as usual. Related to this, there is a novel called "Perempuan Tanpa V" which tells of transvestites in different perspectives. Because of that the writer wants to study this novel and further find out the construction of transvestites he wants to convey. This study uses Gadamer's hermeneutics approach as an analysis knife. The definition of transvestites in this novel  eventually leads to the construction of transvestites who are built more positively, are not discriminatory, and try to break the stereotype of transvestites that has been understood by the community: irregularities and immorality.
CORAK AJARAN TASAWUF DALAM PÊPALI KI AGÊNG SELO DITINJAU DARI PERSPEKTIF HERMENEUTIK FRIEDRICH DANIEL ERNST SCHLEIERMACHER

Ki Ageng Selo was a Javanese philosopher who lived in the Demak Kingdom. At that time, the kingdom of Demak was ruled by Sultan Trenggono (1521-1545). Ki Agêng Selo’s Pêpali reflects the changing times of religion. Ki Agê̂ng Selo’s philosophy of life is influenced by his background in religion, philosophy and way of life expand his influence on the people, who are experiencing a turmoil in his life, as a result of the power struggle between the teachings of Hinduism and Islam. The philosophy of the life of Ki Agê̂ng Selo, as well as the philosophy of the Wali Sanga, is a synthesis of the religious elements brought by Islam and the elements of Hinduism. Just as the Walisanga did, by marrying between the teachings of Islam and the local culture (in this case Hindu culture), the teachings of Islam can be easily and strongly integrated.
TINJAUAN DEKONSTRUKTIF ATAS KONSEP OTORITAS KHALED M. ABOU EL-FADL
Authors: Hanif Abdulloh
Published: April 2023

This article discusses a deconstructive review of the concept of authority of Khaled M. Abou el-Fadl. The phenomenon of authoritarianism is now the most troubling phenomenon for the development of contemporary Islamic thought. This phenomenon not only describes a rigid and undeveloped tradition of Islamic thought, but also has an impact on immoderate socio-religious behavior. Khaled M. Abou el-Fadl described this phenomenon as a consequence of human representation of Islamic authority. In terms of representation by authoritative humans, humans are often treated authoritatively and out of the substance of Islamic authority itself. This authoritarian attitude in treating the authoritative foundation of Islam is what Khaled calls authoritarianism. It can reside in humans and manipulate meanings into interpretations which often only serve the interests of some people. Through the deconstruction method, authoritarianism does not only appear as an arbitrary attitude towards authority, but also shows a conceptual network that indirectly shifts  the construction of authority itself. Khaled, besides showing an attitude of "overcoming" authority, also shows the loss of the element of morality from the authority structure itself. So that the phenomenon of authoritarianism is not only a problem of intellectuality, but also morality, between humans and authorities in discourse space.
TEOLOGI HUMANIS DALAM PEMIKIRAN M. AMIN ABDULLAH

Published: April 2023

Theology in this paper is interpreted as the relationship between religion and social reality that is captured by someone who adheres to it.In other words, a person's perspective in hugging, believes, and practice religion in the midst of social reality.While humanism is an understanding that upholds humanity or humanize humans.So how is the understanding of religion or the way of religion in the midst of a pluralistic social reality (theology) still sided with the humanists? This paper uses the method of studying the social context and orientation of humanism in the early modern era and the results are in reality, then linked with theology to be applied to contemporary plural social reality. The author uses the perspective of M. Amin Abdullah which is based on the epistemology of Irfani associated with the view of the World Community and Ethics in favor of human values. The result is that Irfani provides the basis for unity in differences orunity in diversity. Views of the World Community, irfani became the basis that everyone in all countries in the world should not identify himself as the most important and most prominent because the nation, religion, profession and race. Ethics is, because it is not just a normative prohibition but rather is the peak of the accumulation of one's intelligence operationalization ability or intelligence, then the concept of ethics (thinkers or philosophers or theologians) It is hoped that it can provide a creative basis for rules or morals that can favor universal human values.
Conception of Islam in the Religious Study (The Analysis of W.C Smith’s Thought)
Authors: Wathoni Imamul
Published: April 2023

Wilfred Cantwell Smith is one of scholars of religion who tries to compose a concept with vague delineation related to Islam as religion. It is in essence much related to the word piety, in turn related much to Iman as instrument through which human grasps the consciousness and fact of God, manifested in Submission to His will. Smith starts by deconstructing religion both as a term and concept, including Islam as species of religion. What is understood as religion is basically nothing on earth, and yet the phenomena of religiousness is easy to discover, namely as response to the Divinity. Such understanding is referred to personal and individual experience. Smith, therefore, understands Islam as self-entity and distinguishable from other, emphasized on several meanings of Islam, 1. Islam is personal submission (in the form of verbal noun, it is ideal and true sense), 2. Islam which is embodied in community (it is refied sense from sociological lens produced by cumulative tradition), 3. Islam in terms of institutionalism that its adherents refer to, be manifested in al-Qur’an and al-Hadits through which its name and all teaching come into being (since it is the fruit of cumulative tradition which adheres to historical process, it is therefore mundane).
ISLAM DAN SAINS: ANTARA ISLAMISASI ILMU, PENGILMUAN ISLAM, DAN TRANSINTEGRASI ILMU
Authors: Saripuddin Saripuddin , Syukri Ahmad , Badarussyamsi Badarussyamsi
Published: April 2023

This article discusses a comparative study between the Islamization of knowledge, Islamic science, and the transintegrasi of sciences. What are the similarities and differences between the three? Why do the three of them have different views about the form of the encounter between science and Islam? To answer this question, this article uses an epistemological and historical approach. This article finds that there are two similarities between the three, namely they an Islamic response to the development of science and they reject secularism. Meanwhile, the difference between the three lies in the emphasis and the details of the key concepts. The difference between the three occurs because of the different epistemological and historical backgrounds between the three.
Melacak Skeptisisme dalam Islam Klasik
Authors: Syarifuddin Syarifuddin
Published: April 2023

The skepticism referred to in this paper is different from the skepticism commonly known in ancient Greece. Skepticism in Islam is never isolated, but rather is a key reference point where theological questions are debated endlessly. For centuries, Muslim scholars have faced puzzling questions of a theological and philosophical nature. Their inability to answer such questions requires a paradigm shift in a new approach to religious thought. This research is intended to track how skepticism is in classical Islam, by using descriptive methods as well as historical analysis. In this study, it was found that skepticism in classical Islam became an approach in scientific and religious studies as well as a tool for scientific discipline systems test, even though skepticism was not fully institutionalized or became a form of flow. Previously, the study of skepticism in classical Islam was only limited to the thoughts of one figure, so this paper takes several case studies of figures. Skepticism in classical Islamdivided into four periods, starting from the ninth century to the twelfth century. The ninth century was marked by debates about the position of God by anthropomorphic groups with the Jahmiyah. The tenth century was marked by debates and mutual claims of truth between religions. The eleventh century was marked by al-Ghazali's critics on philosophers. Then the twelfth century was marked by Ibn Taimiyah's critics on logic, Christianity and Sufism.

Floating marine debris is a solid materials that is produced and disposed of in the marine environment. This study aimed to analyze the weight, composition, density, and recycling of potential marine debris. The samples were taken at three locations on rainy and non-rainy days. Location was selected based on trawl activities, estuary, and public activities. The method of sampling was using trawl. The weight on rainy days was 1.2 to 2.2 g/m2, while on non-rainy days was 1.6 to 2.7 g/m2. Total weight 689.2 kg non rainy conditions  and on rainy conditions 895.4 kg. There were four types of waste obtained, which were plastic, wood, fiber, and rubber. The highest percentage in the composition was plastic, which was 48 to 61%. The density of waste on non-rainy days was 0.1 -1.3 g/m2 and on rainy days conditions range 0.2 - 1.7 g/m2. The highest density of waste was plastic of 1.6 g/m2. The recycling potential of plastic, wood, and fabric was 100% respectively. The recycling potential of plastic, wood, and fabric was 100% respectively. The recommendation for floating marine debris is 3R + 1P (recycling, reuse, recovery, and participant).
C-reactive protein and clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients: the importance of harmonized measurements
Authors: Aloisio Elena , Colombo Giulia , Dolci Alberto , Panteghini Mauro
Published: April 2023

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a cytokine-mediated acute phase reactant with a recognized role in inflammatory conditions and infectious disease. In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), elevated CRP concentrations in serum were frequently detected and significantly associated with poor outcome in terms of disease severity, need for intensive care, and in-hospital death. For these reasons, the marker was proposed as a powerful test for prognostic classification of COVID-19 patients. In most of available publications, there was however confounding information about how interpretative criteria for CRP in COVID-19 should be derived, including quality of employed assays and optimal cut-off definition. Assuring result harmonization and controlling measurement uncertainty in terms of performance specifications are fundamental to allow worldwide application of clinical information according to specific CRP thresholds and to avoid risk of patient misclassification.

Growing awareness of the genetic basis of disease is transforming the opportunities for improving patient care by accelerating the development, delivery and uptake of personalised medicine and diseases diagnostics. This can mean more precise treatments reaching the right patients at the right time at the right cost. But it will be possible only with a coherent European Union (EU) approach to regulation. For clinical and biological data, on which the EU is now legislating with its planned European Health Data Space (EHDS), it is crucial that the design of this new system respects the constraints also implicit in the testing which generates data. The current EHDS proposal may fail to meet this requirement. It risks being over-ambitious, while taking insufficient account of the demanding realities of data access in daily practice and current economics/business models. It is marred by imprecision and ambiguity, by overlaps with other EU legislation, and by lack of clarity on funding. This paper identifies key issues where legislators should ensure that the opportunities are not squandered by the adoption of over-hasty or ill-considered provisions that jeopardise the gains that could be made in improved healthcare.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of the study was to determine whether lake sediments could be a potential raw material for the plastics industry. The examined samples were obtained in a complex process of sediment collection from Lake Swarzędzkie located in the region of Wielkopolska, Poland, followed by granulometric analysis by sieving and quartz grain shape analysis, with preparation of geotechnical sheets. The works involved the examination of physico-chemical characteristics of carbonate lake sediments and the analysis of impact of the sediments’ depth extraction on their chemical composition and physico-chemical properties. The lake sediment consists mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and can be a potential filler for plastics. Tests were carried out to determine chemical composition of the sediments and their thermal stability. The thermogravimetric analysis showed the three stages of the thermal decomposition. Sediments in deeper layers of the lake are characterised by the presence of not only CaCO3 and silica, but also other chemical compounds, including aluminosilicates. In addition, as the depth increases, the average size of sediment particles changes, with the main fraction particle size being the smallest for the material from the 6–12 m depth. Additionally, carbon content systematically decreases with increasing depth.

Published: April 2023

In this work, the determination of the discrepancy between the Ecuadorian Vertical Datum (EVD) and the International Height Reference System (IHRS) is presented. The vertical offset was estimated at the EVD based on the fixed geodetic boundary value problem approach. The focus of the experiment was the determination of the anomalous potential in the EVD, which in turn enable determination of the respective geopotential value. Taking a geopotential space-based approach, two estimates of the EVD offset with respect to the IHRS were obtained that amount to −1.51 and −1.61 m2/s2.
Cultural competency training for the social service professions: A systematic literature review
Authors: Uher Alyssa , Fisher Marisa H. , Josol Cynde K.
Published: April 2023

Social justice movements have sought public awareness and positive change for marginalized communities, including the intersection of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and disabled students. Despite significant strides made to decrease the inequities experienced by marginalized communities, gaps still exist. Increasingly, the fields of special education and related services (e.g., social services providers who support disabled students in schools) have been encouraging and requiring their practitioners to be taught culturally relevant content, such as cultural competency. Despite the push to incorporate cultural competency training, no systematic approach to providing this training has been identified. The current systematic literature review was conducted to identify common practices for training cultural competency within social service professions. A search across five databases yielded 53 studies that met inclusion criteria. The results demonstrate that cultural competency content and knowledge is taught and measured using a variety of methods and assessments; cultural competency was most often taught within academic programs and assessed using the Multicultural Counseling Inventory. This review contains a variety of methods that have been shown to teach cultural competency and thus can be used by educational programs and organizations across the social service professions to aid in creating trainings for their practitioners.
Honeycomb-like aluminum antennas for surface-enhanced infrared absorption sensing
Authors: Najem Melissa , Carcenac Franck , Coutaud Luka , Mouhibi Mohamed , Taliercio Thierry , Gonzalez-Posada Fernando
Published: April 2023

Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy is a competent method to detect trace quantity of molecules and even protein conformational flexibility by enhancing their vibrational modes. To improve the spectroscopy features, we propose a surface with honeycomb-like (HC) arrangement of aluminum equilateral triangles within a metal-insulator-metal configuration. With adjustable geometric parameters, the HC nanoantennas allow a tunable and wide spectral coverage in the IR. The reflectance measurements correlate extremely well with the numerical simulations. Being compact and insensitive to the light polarization, the HC are appealing for boosting the signal-to-noise ratio and increasing the number of hotspots as required for sensing applications. These nanoantennas are thus suitable for accurate and broadband SEIRA sensing via a spectral overlap between the large plasmonic resonances and the narrow IR vibrational modes of our analyte (vanillin). In line with our previously studied bowties nanoantennas, we demonstrate, using HC, SEIRA enhancement factors greater than 107 achieved at a tuning ratio below 1 stating the best spectral overlap. Around 104 molecules are sensed per HC tip. The investigation results are matching the best-reported SEIRA studies. These findings pave the way toward sensitive, adaptable, and miniaturized IR spectroscopy devices for vital applications like biosensing and environmental monitoring.
An efficient flow control technique based on co-flow jet and multi-stage slot circulation control applied to a supercritical airfoil
Authors: Wang Lei , Lu Hanan , Xu Yue , Li Qiushi
Published: April 2023

Circulation control is a kind of efficient flow control technology which can improve aircraft aerodynamic performance and reduce fuel consumption. However, improving the aerodynamic efficiency of a circulation device to enhance flight endurance and achieve environmentally flying is a challenging problem for the application of circulation control. This paper presents an efficient flow control technique that combines co-flow jet and multi-stage slot circulation control. The combinational flow control technique is applied to a supersonic airfoil to test its energy consumption and aerodynamic benefit achievement. Results show that both the single and double slot circulation control can improve the maximum lift-drag ratio of the baseline airfoil, with an increment of 11.3% and 19.1%, respectively. Compared with the single application of co-flow jet control which can increase the lift-drag ratio of the baseline airfoil by 16.3% and extend the stall angle of attack from 6° to 8°, the combinational flow control can obtain a more significant lift-drag ratio increment by about 27.3% and eliminate flow separations at high angle of attack. The stall angle of attack can even be increased to about 10°. Additionally, the blowing efficiency of the circulation control airfoil has been comprehensively analyzed. The results show that the maximum effective lift-drag ratio and highest blowing efficiency can be achieved at a blowing coefficient of 0.00235.
Differential equations of oscillation of thin plates with point bonding
Authors: Berikkhanova Gulnaz , Zholymbayev Oraltay , Aniyarov Almir
Published: April 2023

The relevance of the research results presented in this article lies in the general concept of elasticity theory, which integrates the bases of theoretical-empirical physics, practical mathematics and the natural implementation of modelling results in the fields of industrial (to a large extent in the design and manufacture of aircraft and naval aircraft shells and fuselages), construction (more so in the design and formation of multi-layer building structures), electronics and other areas of the science and industry complex. The aim of the study is to form a mathematical model of thin plate vibration based on a system of differential equations for the computational case of point bonding. The method of scientific search (Multilocal Literature Review) is used to achieve the set goal, which made it possible to establish the actual scientific-theoretical basis of the investigated problem, the method of mathematical modelling allowing to systematize the systems of differential equations developed earlier and formed in the framework of the present study, both for the general concept of the theory of elasticity of thin plates and for a selected calculation situation with partial constraints in the form of point bond imposing. As a result of the investigations conducted in the framework of this study, a mathematical model of the oscillations of thin plates bounded by special point-coupling conditions has been obtained, consisting of a system of differential equations obtained by successive iterations of mathematical transformations for the generated local boundary conditions. The mathematical model obtained is of practical scientific interest. The developed model environment forms a complete mathematical theory of elasticity for the formulated problem of the oscillatory process of thin plates with bounding point couplings. This problem has not received a satisfactory mathematical apparatus because of the complexity and cumbersomeness of analytical methods to describe the investigated elastic object.
Mixed micellization analysis of tri-substituted SAIL and amphiphilic drug mixture in aqueous/salt media at diverse temperatures
Authors: Kaur Ramanjeet , Kaur Gagandeep , Sharma Pooja , Kumar Harsh , Kaur Jasmeet
Published: April 2023

The present work aimed to study the mixed micellar behaviour of a tri-substituted imidazolium based surface-active ionic liquid (SAIL), 1-tetradecyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bromide [C14bmim][Br], with a drug Nortriptyline hydrochloride (NOT) in the water/salt (Na2SO4) medium using surface tension measurements (298.15 K) alongwith conductivity measurements (298.15K–313.15K). Lower experimentally obtained cmc values compared to their ideal values suggest that the investigated amphiphiles interact strongly. The values of micellar mole fraction (X
1) based on the several proposed models (Rubingh, Motomura, and Rodenas) and the ideal micellar mole fraction (X

id
) were assessed, and the predicted outcomes indicate that NOT has a significant contribution to the formation of mixed micelles, which increases as the [C14bmim][Br] mole fraction is increased. The negative values of micellization’s Gibbs free energy (ΔGm
0) between the examined amphiphiles were an indication of spontaneous mixed micelle formation. Micellar changes in entropy (ΔSm
0) and enthalpy (ΔHm
0) were also computed and discussed. Using surface tension measurements, surface-active parameters like surface tension at cmc (γ

cmc
), minimum surface area per IL molecule (A
min), maximum surface excess concentration (τ
max), effectiveness of surface tension reduction (π

cmc
), and cmc of mixed system have been estimated. The results showed an improved adsorption and micellization properties of these mixtures which will surely contribute to the tremendous rise of these mixed systems in drug delivery applications.
For the Greater Good: Isolating Young Children From Their Own Mothers During COVID-19. Was It a Good Idea? An Empirical Study
Authors: Cerniglia Luca , Cimino Silvia
Published: April 2023

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments enacted strict measures to stop the spread of the virus. Among these was the recommendation that children with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 be isolated in a room at home. Methods: Through a longitudinal study with three waves and using the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, the Child Behavior Checklist 1,5-5, and the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, we intended to verify whether young children and their mothers showed psychopathological symptoms and distress as a result of quarantine separation. Results: Our results showed that mothers’ symptoms significantly increased from Time 1 to Time 2 and remained stable at Time 3, except for the anxious and depressive symptoms, which increased also at Time 3. Similarly, children’s problems significantly increased from Time 1 to Time 2 and remained stable and high at Time 3. Discussion: This descriptive study may help policy makers to consider the negative outcomes of quarantine separation for children’s and mothers’ psychological well-being in case of future pandemics.

As its most prominent financier and employer, architecture is closely related to religious, political, and economic power. According to Lefebvre, representation spaces are established to permanently represent politics and ideology and their transmission to new generations. The democratic attitude of the political power will only change the perception known with the representation spaces. Therefore, this study deals with the example of Paris, which was indicated as the capital of the freedom movements initiated in the 1960s, to demonstrate how the relationship between political power and ideology with architecture transformed under the influence of democracy and freedom movements. For this purpose, political ideology between 1960-90 formed in the De Gaulle period and reached the highest level in the Mitterrand time, attracting the entire world's attention, and its relationship with architecture is investigated.
Democratic, pluralistic, participatory, and transparent approaches in politics brought architectural competitions to the agenda by seeking transparency, pluralism, and participation in the production method of architecture above all. These architectural competitions were organized for Paris to reflect the ideological perspective. The crucial result of the libertarian perspectives concerning the city is the importance of publicity as a factor containing the shared spaces of people. The important results concerning the field of architecture are the support of the formation of new ideas, the production of buildings that are the leading symbols of new movements, and providing equality of opportunity for architects.
Compensations for the dialect features of the original in the translation of D. Mikhailovitch’s novel "Petria’s Wreath" from serbian into russian
Authors: Pashkova Vera
Published: April 2023

In this publication, the author considers ways to achieve stylistic equivalence between the original text and the translation in the case when the original literary text is written in a dialect and many of its features do not have direct correspondences in the language of translation. The Russian translation of the novel "Petria's Wreath" by D. Mikhailovich, made by O. D. Kutasova, chosen as the subject of the study, is analyzed using the typology of translation compensations proposed by V. K. Lanchikov and M. A. Yakovleva, and a method for assessing the quality of such translation using A. Popovich's system of stylistic shifts.Since we are talking about a literary text written in a dialect, the problems of the article are at the intersection of translation studies, comparative stylistics (in its functional aspect) and dialectology (as an auxiliary discipline).Analyzing a number of examples of the translation technique of O. D. Kutasova, the author comes to the conclusion that the best way to compensate for the inevitable when translating a dialect (or consistently stylized as a dialect) text is to transfer it to the national vernacular of the language of translation, which makes it possible to reproduce the stylistic invariant of the original text in translation. The concrete examples of stylistic compensations given by the author, used in the translation of the novel "Petria's Wreath", allow us to be convinced of the richness of the artistic means available to the translator, who turns to vernacular to translate the dialect text.

Background and aims. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between baseline characteristics of obese patients and histopathological findings on resected gastric specimens resulted after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Methods. Seventy-seven patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in a university surgical department from Romania were included in the present study. Demographic data, preoperative Body Mass Index values, and their relationship with the histopathological findings of resected gastric specimens were statistically analyzed.

Results. The mean age of patients included was 40.2 ± 11.05 years and the mean Body Mass Index was 43.5 ± 7.8 kg/m2; 71.4% of the patients were female. Active chronic gastritis was the most common gastric pathology (39%) encountered. Helicobacter pylori infection was present in 27.2% of the cases. Normal gastric  histology was found in 33.7% of the specimens. A strong statistically significant association was noted between Helicobacter pylori infection and active chronic gastritis (p<0.0001). Similarly, a statistically significant association was observed between age, Body Mass Index, and intestinal metaplasia (p=0.005 and p=0.009 respectively). No malignancies were found.

Conclusions. Our study results show that the incidence of active chronic gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection is relatively high in obese patients. Considering this, we conclude that it is important to send the resected gastric specimens for histopathological analysis after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Authors: Parlar-Chun Raymond , Samaniego Katelin , Jagen Adam , Forbes Ty , Zheng Norman
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

A lack of price transparency may contribute to high healthcare costs. US hospitals were mandated to post their charge masters online in 2019. To compare changes in charge master prices of 3 common tests (complete blood count, complete metabolic panel, and chest radiograph) at US children’s hospitals between 2019 and 2021.

METHODS

Online search for charge master was conducted from July to December 2019 and October to December 2021. Descriptive statistics were reported for each test. Prices between years were adjusted for inflation and compared with paired t test. City-level variation was evaluated by comparing the coefficient of variation in 6 metropolitan areas: Baltimore, California Bay Area, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, and New York City.

RESULTS

Of 847 hospitals, charge masters were found in 747 (88%) in 2021 and 728 (86%) in 2019. Complete blood count prices ranged from $5 to $1037 in 2019 and $5 to $1085 in 2021, with no difference between the 2 years (P = .17). Complete metabolic panel prices ranged from $10 to $2440 in 2019 and $6 to $2746 in 2021, with no difference in prices (P = .75). Chest radiograph prices ranged from $20 to $1900 in 2019 compared with $30 to $5800 in 2021. Prices were higher compared with 2019 ($392 vs. $365, P < .0006). City-level changes in the coefficient of variation showed only 2 cities with reduced coefficients of variation in all 3 tests.

CONCLUSIONS

Two years after mandating hospitals post charge masters online, there continues to be tremendous variability in prices of common tests across US children’s hospitals.
Disparities in Mortality Trends for Infants of Teenagers: 1996 to 2019
Authors: Woodall Ashley M. , Driscoll Anne K. , Mirzazadeh Ali , Branum Amy M.
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Although mortality rates are highest for infants of teens aged 15 to 19, no studies have examined the long-term trends by race and ethnicity, urbanicity, or maternal age. The objectives of this study were to examine trends and differences in mortality for infants of teens by race and ethnicity and urbanicity from 1996 to 2019 and estimate the contribution of changes in the maternal age distribution and maternal age-specific (infant) mortality rates (ASMRs) to differences in infant deaths in 1996 and 2019.

METHODS

We used 1996 to 2019 period-linked birth and infant death data from the United States to assess biennial mortality rates per 1000 live births. Pairwise comparisons of rates were conducted using z test statistics and Joinpoint Regression was used to examine trends. Kitagawa decomposition analysis was used to estimate the proportion of change in infant deaths because of changes in the maternal age distribution and ASMRs.

RESULTS

From 1996 to 2019, the mortality rate for infants of teens declined 16.7%, from 10.30 deaths per 1000 live births to 8.58. The decline was significant across racial and ethnic and urbanization subgroups; however, within rural counties, mortality rates did not change significantly for infants of Black or Hispanic teens. Changes in ASMRs accounted for 93.3% of the difference between 1996 and 2019 infant mortality rates, whereas changes in the maternal age distribution accounted for 6.7%.

CONCLUSIONS

Additional research into the contextual factors in rural counties that are driving the lack of progress for infants of Black and Hispanic teens may help inform efforts to advance health equity.

Albumin berperan penting mengatur tekanan darah dalam pembuluh darah dan menjaga cairan yang terdapat dalam pembuluh darah tidak bocor ke jaringan tubuh sekitarnya. Ikan gabus mengandung albumin lebih banyak daripada ikan jenis lain. Stabilitas sediaan dalam bentuk cair cenderung kurang baik, tidak efisien, rasa obat yang tidak menyenangkan atau tidak enak dan menyebabkan penurunan mutu yang lebih besar dikarenakan mudahnya perkembangbiakan bakteri sehingga nilai nutrisinya menurun. Perlu dilakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan mutu yaitu dengan cara menyerbukan ekstrak ikan gabus. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik mutu fisik dan hedonik pada serbuk ekstrak ikan gabus dengan bahan pengisi laktosa pada konsentrasi yang berbeda. Ekstrak ikan gabus dikeringkan menggunakan laktosa dengan 2 kelompok konsentrasi A (25%) dan B (20%). Proses pengeringan dengan cara pendinginan dilakukan pada suhu 10˚C hingga kering. Pengujian yang dilakukan antara lain kadar albumin, uji waktu alir, uji sudut diam dan uji hedonik. Kadar albumin tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok A  sebesar 0,207 mg/ml. Hasil uji waktu alir dan sudut diam menunjukan bahwa kelompok B memenuhi syarat granul dengan skor uji waktu alir sebesar 4.64 detik dan uji sudut diam sebesar 39,35˚. Uji hedonik menunjukkan kelompok A lebih disukai oleh panelis. Kelompok dengan konsentrasi ekstrak 25% memiliki karakter mutu yang lebih baik namun perlu perbaikan formulasi untuk meningkatkan kualitas mutu fisik produk.

"Krosok" salt, or "Crude Solar Salt", is salt produced through the evaporation and crystallization of seawater. Some krosok salts have different qualities, and this is influenced by the quality of seawater as raw material, available production facilities and post-harvest handling. This krosok salt is mainly produced by salt farmers along the north coast of Karawang Regency. This study aimed to determine the quality of krosok salt obtained from salt farmers in Karawang Regency and to raise salt quality standards to increase the sale value of salt by creating healthy and industrial salt products. The method is to re-crystallize the "krosok" salt by adding binders or additives. Based on the results of the salt crystal test in the laboratory, it is known that the crystallization of "krosok" salt in Karawang Regency has a NaCl content of up to 99.35%; this value is already above the SNI quality standard of 98% as health salt. Meanwhile, for hazardous materials such as (Hg) and (As), the content is around 0.001%, below the SNI threshold of 0.1%.
