Couples in the Qur'an (Comparative Study of the Interpretation of Ash-Sya'rawi and Hamka)
Authors: Asyifa Faradita  , Muhammad Irsad  , Muhammad Nur Amin
Published: January 2024

In general, many people think that a spouse must be (commensurate), as Allah says in Q.S. an-Nur verse 26, women are bad for bad men, good women for good men. But in the reality of life it is not all so, there are bad women get good male partners, and good women get bad male partners. Judging from the context of the verse, there are indeed differences in interpretation among the interpreters. Because of these differences in interpretation, in this study the author used a comparative method or the so-called comparison method.  This research is new and different from the previous because there has been no research that discusses and compares the interpretation of ash-Sha'rawi and Hamka in Q.S. an-Nur verse 26 and looks for what are the factors behind the difference in interpretation between the two.   After analysis, in his tafseer ash-Sha'rawi related the verse to a partner. He said that the verse is the same as Q.S. an-Nur verse 3, that a person will be paired with another person who is equal to himself. While Hamka in his tafseer explains that the verse relates to the hadith al-Ifk (fake news). This verse was revealed to clear the bad accusation against 'Aisha, i.e. accused of having an affair with S{afwan ibn al-Mu'at}t}al. For it is impossible for 'Aisha, a very noble wife of the Prophet, to commit such a filthy deed as alleged.

Published: January 2024

Background. The world continues to struggle with the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The pandemic is under control, but the disease exists and it is extremely important to have algorithms for early diagnostic and prognostic guidance. The aim of the study is to find correlations between the spectrum of clinical symptoms with the disease severity and the outcome of COVID-19, aiming to maximally early diagnosis and establishing early predictors for severity and fatal outcome.
Materials and methods. The study included 169 adults hospitalized at the University Hospital St. George, Plovdiv, between September 2021 and December 2022 with a PCR verified diagnosis of COVID-19. The methods of clinical analysis (history and clinical examination) and assessment of oxygen saturation were used. For the purposes of the study, patients were distributed into groups according to age (below and over 60 years); disease severity (moderate or severe/critical clinical course), and outcome (survived or died).
Results. According to analysed data, 92 patients (54.43%) were men, and 69 (40.82%) were under 60 years; 126 patients (74.5%) had a moderate and 43 (25.4%)-  severe clinical course. The disease has a gradual onset in 149 (88.1 %). The most frequent initial symptoms were fever and fatigue (60.4 %), followed by fatigue with arthro-myalgias (26.2%). Co-morbidities were documented for 140 patients (82.8%). COVID-19 was severe/critical in 14.3% of patients under 60 years and 34.1% of patients ≥ 60 years (p < 0.01), with case fatality rate 7.4% vs.  25% respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Our data highlight the importance of advanced age (over 60 years) and comorbidities ( arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis hepatis) as high-risk factors for severe course and fatal outcome of COVID-19

Strategy of the Independent Learning Program-Independent Campus (MBKM) for the Health Study Program Curriculum: Scoping Review
Authors: Bainuan Lina Darmayanti , Yohanes Zenriano Tarigan
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Independent Learning Program-Independent Campus (MBKM) is a policy issued by the Minister of Education and Culture since 2020 so that graduates are ready to face global challenges. Based on the policy issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture, it is necessary to adjust the strategy for the curriculum of the Health study program that already has provisions in the application of the curriculum. Since the establishment of the MBKM program in universities, the fact is that the curriculum of the health study program has not been able to adjust policies related to the MBKM program as a whole.  Therefore, a review of the published primary research is carried out to be able to provide comprehensive scientific evidence related to the MBKM program strategy for the health study program curriculum. Objective: This study aims to investigate the MBKM program strategy for the health study program curriculum. Method: Scoping review with a comprehensive search strategy was carried out using the Pubmed, SCOPUS, CINAHL, EMBASE and ProQuest database libraries and using the Science Direct and Google Scholar search engines, with full-text article criteria, ranging from 2021-2023 with Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) and Cross-sectional Studies research designs. Based on the search results, there are six articles that meet the analysis criteria. Results: based on six articles, several health study programs were found to implement the MBKM strategy, but several obstacles were also found in the implementation of the MBKM strategy. Conclusions and Suggestions: the six articles are then grouped according to the MBKM strategy approach, namely staying focused on achieving SKL / CPL, still paying attention to the fulfillment of learning rights for a maximum of three semesters, students get learning experiences with additional competencies obtained from each study program, the application of students getting learning experience in the real world in accordance with the profile and scope of their field of work and the curriculum that has been designed and implemented is flexible and adaptable to the development of science and technology (scienfic vision) and the demands of the field of work (market signal). Each of these strategies is then used as an illustration in the implementation of the MBKM program for the health study program curriculum.

Authors: Brigita Aulia Juliana Soeryanto  , Binarti Dwi W  , Enny Virda Yuniarti  , Ika Ainur Rofi’ah
Published: January 2024

Hypertension is systolic blood pressure increases above 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure increases above 90 mmHg. One of the hypertension treatments is non-pharmacological therapy by giving lemon aromatherapy, which is helpful as an antioxidant, strengthens and vasodilation of blood vessels, and controls blood pressure. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of lemon aromatherapy on blood pressure in hypertension patients at Modopuro Public Health Center Mojokerto. The research design used pre-experimental with a one-group pre-post test design approach. The sample used 35 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a digital tensimeter and a blood pressure observation sheet. Statistical analysis test used the Paired t-test. The results showed that the mean systolic blood pressure before intervention was 158.34 mmHg, and the mean systolic blood pressure after intervention was 144.42 mmHg. The results showed a significant difference between systolic blood pressure before and after giving lemon aromatherapy in hypertension patients (p-value = 0.000; α <0.05). Lemon aromatherapy can decrease blood pressure in hypertension patients, affecting the olfactory and circulatory nervous systems. When aromatherapy is inhaled, the olfactory nerve delivers impulses to the brain and stimulates the production of endorphins, which can calm and relax the body. That mechanism can cause vasodilation of blood vessels and a decrease in heart rate so that blood pressure will decrease.

Rational Contraction in Metric Space and Common Fixed Point Theorems
Authors: Tiwari Surendra Kumar , Ganvir Jayant Prakash
Published: January 2024

The study of contraction mappings in fixed-point theory is a fascinating and crucial field of mathematics. The concept of contraction plays a vital role in proving the existence and uniqueness of fixed points. Banach's contraction theory offers a fixed point theorem that is widely accepted as unique in most analyses. By using rational expressions in metric spaces, we can achieve unique results in general contraction mapping. These results are based on several innovative ideas stemming from the latest research. The delivered results upgrade and federate many existing outcomes on the topic in the literature Bhardwaj, R. et al. (2007) Chouhan et al. (2014) and Garg and Priyanka (2016). Also gives some suitable examples for verifying our results.
A Principled Uncertainty: Writing Studies Methods in Contexts of Indigeneity
Authors: Thieme Katja , Makmillen Shurli
Published: January 2024

This article uses rhetorical genre theory to discuss methods for writing studies research in light of increasing participation of Indigenous scholars and students in disciplines throughout the academy. Like genres, research methods are embedded in systems of interaction that create subject positions and social relations. Using rhetorical genre theory to understand methods as the cultural tools of research communities, we argue that methods can be enacted as flexible resources in the interest of advancing ethical knowledge. In the context of Indigenous epistemological activism, researchers can then take a contingent stance toward method, a stance we name “principled uncertainty.”

Mutual Adjustments: Learning from and Responding to Transfer Student Writers
Authors: Gere Anne Ruggles , Hutton Lizzie , Keating Benjamin , Knutson Anna V. , Silver Naomi , Toth Christie
Published: January 2024

Transfer student writers, who comprise more than one-third of all college students, are simultaneously experienced writers and first-year students at their new institutions. Despite their complicated positions, these students have received very little attention from composition specialists. This article responds to the paucity of attention to transfer student writers by reporting on a multiyear study that alternated between investigations of the experiences of these students and programmatic changes designed to address their expressed needs and concerns. The guiding principle of this work, and of the advice offered to colleagues interested in supporting transfer student writers on their own campuses, is a combination of institutional and student changes or mutual adjustments.
Consumption, Production, and Rhetorical Knowledge in Visual and Multimodal Textbooks
Authors: Schiavone Aubrey
Published: January 2024

Grounded in a multimodal turn in composition studies, this article reports findings from a quantitative taxonomy analysis of four visual rhetoric and multimodal composition textbooks. This analysis reveals that while theories privilege the production of visual and multimodal compositions, the practices encapsulated in these textbooks promote the consumption of such compositions more so than production. As a result, instructors will have to be mindful about their uptake of visual and multimodal textbooks if they want to teach in ways that are theoretically grounded and rhetorically rich.
Review: Literacy Hope and the Violence of Literacy: A Bind That Ties Us
Authors: Branch Kirk
Published: January 2024

Arguments about literacy (and its boogeyman antonym, illiteracy) allow for, perhaps even insist upon, a certain degree of rhetorical flexibility. The idea of literacy slips into familiar commonplaces, hard to resist“or heard whether we mean them or not”in arguments with administrators, the public, our students, ourselves. Literacy’s trailing clouds include the sorts of promises that literacy scholars have learned to distrust, even as we’ve probably heard ourselves make them. None of the books in this review can sidestep these binds of literacy education, and in fact in their own ways, each of them embraces those binds as central to their analyses.
Academic Leadership and Advocacy: On Not Leaning In
Authors: Detweiler Jane , LaWare Margaret , Wojahn Patti
Published: January 2024

Our article examines the challenges that “outsiders” face as academic leaders in higher education, with a special emphasis on the specific complications prevailing in the rhetoric and composition fields within English studies. We survey descriptive statistics and historical evidence to locate several of the problems confronting women and others newly and provisionally admitted to—and more often, still excluded from—the highest levels of academic leadership. Then, we bring together feminist-revisionist advocacy tools and Ernest Boyer’s alternative vision for “engaged scholarship” to suggest ways that leadership work formerly categorized as simply administrative duty or mere service be recognized for its broad-ranging impact both on campuses and the public domain.
Complexity Leadership and Collective Action in the Age of Networks
Authors: Murray Joddy
Published: January 2024

Complexity leadership theory provides a perspective on leadership that values, rather than avoids, the realities of a complex environment. As we are now fully part of an age of networks, facilitating leadership toward collective action means embracing a distributed model reliant on multiple modes of communication distributed over multiple nodes in complex networks. A complexity theory of leadership that is practiced within the context of multimodal authorship favors collective action over individual action, collaboration over centralization, and connectivity over isolation. It is in the power of multiple networks interacting and becoming a complex adaptive system that collective action leads to positive change.
The Value of English: Perspectives on the Economic Benefits of Studying English in High School
Authors: Collin Ross , Aschliman Clay
Published: January 2024

This exploratory study investigates English education professors’ beliefs about the economic value of studying English language arts (ELA). In response to a 44-item, cross-sectional survey, 140 professors clarified their beliefs about which economic benefits are and should be offered in high school ELA classes; how ELA classes are and should be designed to deliver those benefits; how much curricular attention is and should be given to economic benefits compared to other components of ELA; and whether ELA’s economic benefits should receive more attention in the future. The article identifies patterns in professors’ thinking about the economic payoff of ELA. These patterns are read against five common models of ELA’s economic value. The article concludes with a discussion of what respondents’ answers suggest about competing conceptions of the organization and purposes of ELA and K–12 schools.
Prospective English Teachers Learn to Respond to Diversity in Students’ Writing through the Student Writing Archive Project (SWAP)
Authors: B. Sherry Michael
Published: January 2024

Responding to students’ writing is integral to English teaching. However, preservice secondary English teachers (PSETs) often have few opportunities to practice this skill or to see how experienced teachers respond to diverse writers. I built an online database of students’ writing, teacher feedback, and teacher interviews; 32 PSETs in my English methods courses explored this database in conjunction with fieldwork in local classrooms. In this article, I analyze PSETs’ database discussion forum posts, comments on field-placement students’ writing, and reflections about learning to provide feedback. Reading teachers’ feedback positioned PSETs as students, evoking recollections about receiving teacher feedback, while writing their own feedback positioned them as teachers, evoking visions of what a writing teacher must do/be to claim authority in the classroom. All but two PSETs provided feedback of the kind they had claimed to hate. Those two adapted approaches they encountered in the database, learning to draw on their own writing histories as resources for responding with authority.
Place, Pedagogy, and Literacy in Appalachia
Authors: Hayes Amanda
Published: January 2024

Place-based pedagogy, the incorporation of local dynamics into the classroom as a step toward bridging the school-community gap, is becoming increasingly popular as educating for sustainability gains traction in schools. However, little attention has been paid to the role Appalachia has played in creating our modern sense of place-based pedagogy in education writ large and English education in particular. This article explores this role to argue for greater respect for Appalachian literacies throughout the field and a greater incorporation of place-based pedagogy within Appalachian English classrooms today.
Provocateur Piece: Teaching Sex Education with Poetry: An Intimate Coupling
Authors: Moore Amber
Published: January 2024

It is not unusual for issues of sexuality to surface sometimes in high school English classes. However,explicitly teaching such topics can concurrently enhance students’ sexual and English literacy experiences, as the author discovered in her ninth-grade English class in Western Canada when she used poetry as a vehicle for learning about topics such as healthy relationships, consent, sexual assault, and safe sex practices. This provocation closes with a narrative poem the author composed in an effort to capture the experience of one particularly revealing lesson from this unit.

Poems That Move: Children Writing Poetry beyond Popularized Poetic Forms
Authors: Certo Janine
Published: January 2024

This article focuses on the poetry writing of two fifth graders, Long and Colleen, who participated in a month-long Poet in the Schools program. Children were immersed in reading diverse poetry, after which they were given open composing time to write their own poetry. Their poems had a craft sophistication that largely came from poetic structure, that is, how a poem moves, how it travels from beginning to end. Their poems also had emotive material from their own lives—their cultures, families, and histories. A premise of this article is that an emphasis on immersion in diverse mentor texts and poetic structure can help children write beyond the popularized forms of acrostic, haiku, limerick, or cinquain.
