The architectural system cannot be separated from the environmental system, even both have very close reciprocal relationships. Therefore, the shape of a building is a creation of human culture to adopt and adapt to its environment, whereas an environment will greatly affect the shape of the building made by the local community to meet their needs. The characteristics of buildings are a record of how environment, culture, and other things influence the buildings. 'Jami Mosque' of Banjarmasin is one of the buildings. Its presence in the beach environment made it adopt the tradition of a stilt building. This building, however, shows very distinctive characteristics. One the one hand, the original characteristics of the ancient Nusantara mosque is still maintained, but the influence from outside and local are also obvious. By using morphological analysis and building style, cultural processes occurred in the circumstances could be easily understood. The architectural characters and decorations has created some peculiarities.

Published: November 2024

This article explores the tombs in the compound of mosque and Islamic Mataram cemetery in Kotagede. The object used for the research is the tomb complex which is located behind the Kotagede mosque. The main figure buried in the cemetery is Panembahan Senopati and some of his close relatives. The research is conducted due to the pattern of placement and arrangement of the tombs which is interesting as an object of study. Certain patterns are found in the use of space in the tomb complex, both horizontally and vertically. Further studies are needed to see whether the pattern have to do with the concept of habluminallah and habluminanas? Certainly, these patterns could be the influence of Islam in the Javanese culture. This is quite understandable since the tomb concept maker is the main figure of Islamic Mataram kings, i.e., Panembahan Senopati.)

Published: November 2024

Abstract: This article aims to examine the history of Arab Muslim clothing in the early days of Islam which was associated with social strata in society. This article is a literature review, using historical methods, namely, heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. The results of this study show that the history and development of Arab Muslim clothing during the Early Islamic period is closely related to the pre-Islamic period, although in certain respects Islam has improved, for example regarding the requirements for covering the private parts. In its development, clothing in each region has differences in how it is used. Arab people who move to a place can mix with the local people's way of dressing. The types of clothing at that time were, Al-Marth, Ad-Dir, Qamish, Al-Khimar, as well as Al-Izar and ar-Rida'. The Arab nation consists of various people such as kings, soldiers and commoners, thus creating social classes in society in clothing and clothing showing their social class.

“Sinkretisme” dalam Upacara Tradisi Buka Luwur Sunan Kudus
Authors: Nikmah Faridhatun
Published: November 2024

Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyze syncretism in the Buka Luwur Makam Sunan Kudus ceremonial tradition, focusing on the public's perception of ceremonial objects involved in the ritual. This research is field-based and employs qualitative methods. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically using a hermeneutic-philosophical approach. The findings indicate that the Buka Luwur event, held from the 1st to the 10th of Muharram, encompasses a variety of activities ranging from ritual-magical practices to socio-economic events. Most supporters of this tradition believe that ceremonial objects used in the procession—such as water for cleaning the Cinthaka keris, the Buka Luwur cloth, cricket rice, and Asyura porridge—can bring blessings. These blessings are believed to include facilitating sustenance, curing illness, and enhancing crop fertility. This belief emerges from the blending of Islamic and Javanese cultural values in the tradition. The research aims to provide insights that can help organizers evaluate the tradition and minimize the potential for syncretic beliefs by offering correct education and understanding to the public.Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis sinkretisme dalam upacara tradisi Buka Luwur Makam Sunan Kudus yang tercermin dalam persepsi masyarakat terhadap benda-benda upacara dalam tradisi tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan field research dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif-analitis dengan pendekatan hermeneutik-filosofis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa prosesi acara Buka Luwur yang berlangsung pada tanggal 1-10 Muharram dikemas dalam berbagai kegiatan, dari yang bersifat ritual-magis hingga sosial-ekonomis. Masyarakat pendukung tradisi tersebut mayoritas percaya bahwa benda-benda upacara dalam prosesi tradisi tersebut, seperti air bekas penjamasan atau penyucian keris Cinthaka, kain bekas Buka Luwur, nasi jangkrik, dan bubur Asyura, dapat mendatangkan berkah. Bentuk keberkahan yang dipercaya oleh masyarakat berasal dari benda-benda upacara tersebut antara lain memperlancar rizki, menyembuhkan penyakit, dan menyuburkan tanaman. Kepercayaan ini lahir sebagai akibat bercampurnya nilai-nilai Islam dan nilai-nilai budaya Jawa dalam pelaksanaan tradisi. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan evaluasi bagi penyelenggara untuk meminimalisir potensi munculnya keyakinan sinkretis dengan cara memberikan edukasi dan pemahaman yang benar kepada masyarakat.

Anti- psoriatic effect and phytochemical evaluation of Iraqi Scabiosa palaestina ethyl acetate extract
Authors: Mahmood Ahmed Salim , Ibrahim Nabaa M. , Abdul-Jalil Thukaa Z.
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study was to confirm the antipsoriasis activity of Scabiosa palaestina (S. palaestina) ariel component extract and identify the active compound(s) responsible for this activity using a developed RP-HPLC technology. The active ethyl acetate extract of S. palaestina was extracted and fractionated by the hot continuous Soxhlet apparatus method. Psoriasis was induced in experimental animals after 4 days of imiquimod (IMQ) cream application on dorsal skin rats of 3 treated groups (6 rats for each) and the normal group (6 rats) left without treatment. Two of the psoriatic-induced groups were treated with ethyl acetate (EA) extract or methotrexate (MTX) for 12 days, starting from day 4 of the IMQ application. Assessment of psoriatic lesions was done during the experiment, depending on the psoriasis area severity index (PASI). At the end of the study (day 15), animals were sacrificed and 2 skin specimens were collected for histopathological examination and cytokine measurement. Compared with the positive control group, ethyl acetate extract shows significant improvement in PASI (p-value < 0.05) and histopathological changes exerted by IMQ. On the other hand, no significant reduction has been seen in the psoriatic and angiogenic mediator (IL-17 and VEGF) with a P-value > 0.05 compared with the positive control group, which may be attributed to other cytokines that could be affected by the ethyl acetate extract of S. palaestina. These results suggest that the antipsoriasis properties of ethyl acetate extract may possibly be due to the presence of flavonoid compounds (luteolin, apigenin, quercetin, vitexin and kaempferol).

Published: November 2024

Cherry tomatoes are the smaller version of classic tomatoes but are valued for their sweet taste and captivating colors. They are highly favored by the urban elite and the chefs catering to high-profile restaurants. To formulate selection criteria for utilization in breeding programs, variability parameters, an association between different characters, and direct and indirect effects of component traits of 29 cherry tomato genotypes were assessed under polyhouse conditions. Sufficient genetic variability was found for the morphological and yield traits studied, as revealed by the variance analysis. Plant height, primary branches per plant, days to 50 percent flowering, flower clusters per plant, flowers per cluster, fruits per cluster, days to first harvest, fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit girth, fruit weight, locules per fruit, pericarp thickness, days to final harvest, yield per plant, total soluble solids, lycopene, ascorbic acid, reducing sugars and non-reducing sugars showed high estimates of heritability and genetic advance as percent of the mean. Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship between fruit yield per plant and pericarp thickness (0.727), fruit length (0.685), fruit girth (0.536), fruit weight (0.530), and the number of fruits per cluster (0.386). Principal component analysis identified the primary component (PC1) as the main contributor to variance. Path analysis revealed that fruit length, pericarp thickness, number of fruits per plant, flowers per cluster, and fruit weight had the highest direct effect on yield. These traits were the key factors influencing fruit yield per plant in cherry tomatoes.
Implementing sanitation practices against the hibiscus bud weevil Anthonomus testaceosquamosus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Published: November 2024

The hibiscus bud weevil, Anthonomus testaceosquamosus Linell (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an invasive pest of tropical hibiscus, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (Malvaceae). While chemical and biological control alternatives have been identified, the viability of cultural control through sanitation (collecting and destroying dropped buds where larvae complete development) remains to be explored. The impact of adult hibiscus bud weevil infestation on flower bud abortion was studied in a greenhouse. Plants were infested with one mating pair of adult weevils, with non-infested plants as controls. Actively growing buds and dropped buds were counted weekly for four weeks. A subsequent shade house experiment evaluated the effect of sanitation on plant productivity. Groups of ten plants in a tunnel tent were infested with ten hibiscus bud weevil adult mating pairs per tent. Treatments included sanitation (weekly collection of dropped buds for eight weeks) and a no sanitation control. Five actively growing buds per tent were collected in search of eggs and larvae, while counts of actively growing buds and open flowers were recorded per plant. To identify efficient sanitation methods, the time required to remove fallen buds using three methods (manual, vacuum, and blower) was estimated. Hibiscus bud weevil infestation, using two adult weevils per plant, led to a 16-fold increase in bud abortion compared to non-infested plants. Sanitation reduced the proportion of dropped buds by 22 %, while no sanitation plants showed more actively growing buds, suggesting overcompensation in response to abortion. The vacuum method was the most efficient bud removal method tested. Sanitation can be an effective, practical, and complementary measure to reduce hibiscus bud weevil infestation in commercial nurseries.
Gonadal changes in children and adolescents with congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Authors: Mahmoud Rana , Abdelrahman Marwa Elsayed , Mohamed Hasnaa Hassan , Elsedfy Heba
Published: November 2024

Objectives

Testicular adrenal rest tumours (TARTs) are a common cause of infertility in males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Ovarian adrenal rest tumours (OARTs) and polycystic ovaries (PCO) can impair ovarian function in female patients with CAH. We aim to detect gonadal changes in children and adolescents with CAH.

Methods

This study was conducted on 50 CAH patients (30 females and 20 males) with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD), with a mean age of 10.35 ± 2.36 years. Testicular ultrasonography and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were done in males and females respectively. Glucocorticoid doses and biochemical data were obtained from the patients’ medical records.

Results

TARTs were detected in 10/20 male patients (50 %). There was a significant relation between presence of TARTs, body mass index (BMI) standard deviation score (SDS), and bone age (p=0.017 and 0.023; respectively). There was no significant relation between presence of TARTs, laboratory parameters, or treatment received (p>0.05). Of those subjected to genetic analysis, 48 % had I2 splice (c.290-13A/C>G) followed by P30L (c.89C>T) (40.7 %). P30L (c.89C>T) was the most common allele among the patients with TARTs (42.9 %). There was no significant relation between presence of TARTs, the genotype, alleles, or the genotype groups (p>0.05). Only one female patient had radiological evidence of bilateral polycystic ovaries and none had OARTs.

Conclusions

The prevalence of TARTs in our study was high (50 %). Screening for TARTs in males with CAH is crucial; however, routine ovarian imaging in CAH females is not indicated unless ovarian dysfunction is present.

Authors: Elices Acero Álvaro , García García Javier , Prieto Lobato Juan María , Rodríguez Sumaza María del Carmen
Published: November 2024

La asistencia personal constituye un recurso clave para el desarrollo de los nuevos modelos de cuidados basados en la atención centrada en la persona y en el entorno habitual, aunque su aplicación en ámbitos distintos al de la discapacidad es aún muy limitada. Este estudio analiza el alcance, las potencialidades y los límites del servicio de asistencia personal en dos proyectos piloto para la prestación de cuidados domiciliarios de larga duración a personas mayores y para la atención sociosanitaria en el hogar a personas con enfermedades avanzadas. A través de un enfoque de investigación evaluativa de métodos mixtos, se evidenció un elevado nivel de satisfacción con el servicio tanto en las personas destinatarias y sus familias, motivado por la suficiencia de las atenciones, el buen trato recibido o el respeto a su autodeterminación, como entre las propias asistentes personales, quienes experimentaron un significativo enriquecimiento personal y profesional. También se detectaron factores limitantes, como la ambigüedad en los cometidos o la afectación emocional de sus profesionales, por lo que impulsar el conocimiento de la figura, desarrollar estrategias para cuidar a las asistentes personales y promover una regulación jurídica y laboral sólida del servicio, son medidas esenciales para maximizar su potencial.

Research Originality: This study uniquely examines the relationship between baby milk consumption and stunting rates in Indonesia using a two-stage least squares (2SLS) approach. It fills a gap in understanding why Indonesian consumers prefer sweetened condensed milk over baby formula, despite the increasing prevalence of stunting, offering new insights into the economic and educational factors influencing milk consumption.Research Objectives: To investigate the factors that influence baby milk consumption in Indonesia, such as milk prices, education levels, and population size. Also, to assess the impact of baby milk consumption on stunting rates among Indonesian children.Research Methods: The research uses an econometric approach, specifically two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression, analyzing data from 2005 to 2022.Empirical Results: The results indicate that baby milk consumption is significantly affected by milk prices, education levels, and population size. Interestingly, the study finds that higher consumption of baby milk is correlated with an increase in stunting rates.Implications: The findings suggest a need for greater parental awareness regarding the nutritional value of baby milk and potential policy interventions to regulate milk quality. Additionally, the results highlight the importance of educational campaigns to improve milk consumption behaviors and further research on the nutritional content of available baby milk products to address the stunting problem effectively.JEL Classification: D11, I15, O13, Q18, R22
Uncovering Economic Growth Dynamics: The Role of Idiosyncratic Risk
Authors: Asri Marselinus
Published: November 2024

Research Originality: This study provides a new perspective on the dynamics between foreign direct investment (FDI), idiosyncratic risk, and economic growth in ASEAN countries using structural equation modeling (SEM). It contributes to the literature by highlighting the nuanced role of idiosyncratic risk in shaping regional economic outcomes.Research Objectives: The study aims to examine the direct and indirect impacts of FDI inflows, idiosyncratic risk, and sectoral variables (manufacturing, agriculture, and services) on economic growth in ASEAN from 2013 to 2023.Research Methods: The study uses data from the ASEAN Statistical Database and applies SEM to estimate the relationships between these variables.Empirical Result: The main findings indicate that FDI inflows have minimal impact on idiosyncratic risk, as evidenced by regression coefficients below 0.001 for inward and intra-ASEAN FDI. In contrast, idiosyncratic risk significantly impacts economic growth. The results also reveal that sectoral variables such as manufacturing, agriculture, and services exhibit weaker associations with economic growth.Implications: This information suggests that policymakers should focus on exploiting idiosyncratic risk to improve economic development, while acknowledging the limited direct impact of FDI on risk management, thereby debating more appropriate strategies to promote sustainable economic growthJEL Classification: A11, E60, H11

Published: November 2024

Research Originality: The adaptive market hypothesis, which is a new way to test capital market performance that reconciles the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) with behavioral finance, is the focus of our research. Our study's novelty lies in testing the efficiency of the Islamic capital market in six Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Thailand, over different periods: before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.Research Objectives: We aim to delve into its application in the Islamic capital market, which has seen significant growth in recent years.Research Methods: We employed the variance ratio test, the ARIMA model, and the Elman neural network to test efficiency.Empirical Result: Our findings revealed that the efficiency of sharia indices in these countries was not constant over the three periods, thereby supporting the existence of the adaptive market hypothesis.Implications: The results of this study are not only important for academic discourse but also offer practical applications for investors to refine their investment strategies, engaging the audience in a discussion on Islamic capital market efficiency.JEL Classification: G02, G14, G15
Depreciation and Trade Balance: An Exploration of the J-Curve Phenomenon in Indonesia
Authors: Mashilal Mashilal , Pambudi Rakhmat Dwi
Published: November 2024

Research Originality: Global economic uncertainty has increased in recent years, leading to an appreciation of the US dollar relative to most global currencies, including the Indonesian rupiah. The novelty of this study is the inclusion of natural resource commodity price index variables, given the importance of these commodities in Indonesia's balance of trade.Research Objectives: This study aims to examine the effect of rupiah exchange rate depreciation on Indonesia's trade balance.Research Methods: This study uses a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to analyze Indonesia's balance of trade from January 2015 to December 2023, examining the potential J-Curve phenomenon resulting from the depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah.Empirical Result: Findings from the impulse response analysis suggest that the J-Curve phenomenon is present in Indonesia's balance of trade as a result of the rupiah's depreciation. The results of this study also confirm the positive effect of increasing natural resource commodity prices on Indonesia's trade balance.Implications: The implication of these findings is that exchange rate depreciation can improve Indonesia's trade balance only when natural resource commodity prices are rising. Conversely, if commodity prices decline, maintaining the stability of the rupiah exchange rate becomes crucial.JEL Classification: F11, F14, F31, Q02

OBJECTIVE

Pediatric early warning systems identify patients at risk for deterioration. We aimed to determine if a locally adapted pediatric early warning system [KK hospital early warning score (KEWS)] can distinguish patients who require transfer from general ward to high dependency unit (HDU) or PICU, from those who do not.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective case-control single-center audit. All unplanned general ward to PICU/HDU transfer from January to December 2021 were included as cases. We collected KEWS at the time of transfer and at 2, 4 and 6 hours prior to transfer. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression with imputation analysis were performed to identify variables associated with unplanned PICU/HDU transfer.

RESULTS

There were 784 patients (196 cases and 588 controls). Median age of cases and controls were 3.3 (interquartile range: 1.0–9.7) and 3.9 (0.8–11.3) years, respectively. At the time of transfer, median (interquartile range) KEWS for cases and controls were 3 (0, 4) and 0 (0, 1), respectively (P <.001). At all timepoints, KEWS was able to distinguish between children who did and did not require transfer to HDU/PICU (At time of transfer: area under the curve = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.75–0.85, P <.001). After adjusting for age, category of admission, frequency of ordered monitoring, KEWS predicted HDU/PICU transfer with an odds ratio of 2.34 (95% CI 1.82 to 3.00, P <.001).

CONCLUSIONS

KEWS was able to distinguish patients requiring transfer from GW to HDU/PICU from those not needing a transfer.

The problem of assessing the diversity of biotic complexes is extremely important and relevant and has been covered in numerous publications, mostly for certain taxonomic groups. The use of information retrieval systems with large databases opens up new opportunities and approaches to automated biodiversity assessment. All the data used in this article are taken from the web resource of the Data Centre “Biodiversity of Ukraine” and include data from museum collections, literature and human observation. To evaluate species diversity included in the Red Data Book of Ukraine, we developed a scoring scale for each protected category based on a ranking system according to its protected category. For the assessment, we used Disappearing species, Vulnerable species, and Rare species only. To highlight hotspot areas we used the aggregation maps with 20 × 20 km squares. Species diversity of the species included in the Red Data Book of Ukraine of the western region of Ukraine in the CDBU is represented by 498 species (fungi 41, plants 191, animals 266). By oblasts of the western region of Ukraine: Volyn oblast 139 species (fungi 3, plants 51, animals 85), Rivne oblast 85 (fungi 5, plants 32, animals 48), Lviv oblast 260 (fungi 17, plants 90, animals 153), Ternopil oblast 182 (fungi 9, plants 48, animals 125), Ivano-Frankivsk oblast 219 (fungi 28, plants 59, animals 132), Chernivtsi oblast 105 (fungi 6, plants 49, animals 50), Zakarpattia oblast 190 (fungi 26, plants 70, animals 94). Most of the defined hotspots coincide with the territories of the nature reserve fund of Ukraine, and some hotspots are located in large cities (scientific centers) with vicinities. We have also identified hotspots outside of existing nature reserves, including the territories of large water reservoirs, river valleys, and historical biodiversity hotspots. Thus, Data сentre “Biodiversity of Ukraine” tools can be used to assess rare biodiversity and its restoration in the post-war period, as well as to identify hotspots and locations for creating new protected territories, identifying ecological corridors and developing ecological networks and monitor changes in biodiversity caused by climate change.
