Authors: Imron Ali , Susanti Popi , Jaudi La , Bin Awang Tarif Muhammad Akmal , Septiani Rina
Published: October 2024

Marriage is a fundamental social institution in the context of Islam. In the realm of marital customs, various traditions have emerged, including the presentation of engagement rings. The practice of giving engagement rings has become an important component of marriage proposal ceremonies, especially in Indonesia. However, according to Islamic jurisprudence, particularly within the Shafi'i school of thought, the legal standing of engagement rings requires further examination. This investigation aims to analyze the legal implications of the practice of giving engagement rings from the perspective of Shafi'i Fiqh, while also considering customary practices. The research methodology employed is a legal study with a qualitative approach. Findings indicate that Shafi'i Fiqh accommodates a wide range of customary rituals in marriage, including the exchange of engagement rings. Although there is no specific regulation governing this practice, Islam promotes marriage as a means of building a family rooted in truth, love, and compassion.

Published: October 2024

Summary Background: Newly qualified nurses are expected to care for life-threateningly ill patients and their relatives. However, there is currently a significant research gap concerning the experiences and challenges faced by newly qualified Danish nurses when encountering basic palliative care in practice. Aim: To explore the experiences of newly qualified nurses providing basic palliative care. Methods: Individual in-depth interviews with nine nurses were conducted, and data analyzed through qualitative, descriptive analysis. Findings: The study underscores the pivotal shift from being a student to becoming a practicing nurse, revealing uncertainties and a need to engage in palliative care during clinical training. Additionally, the study unveils a pervasive sense of busyness in the practice of healthcare, preventing a balance between efficiency and calmness in palliative care. Administering medication, handling crisis-reactions, and communicating with fearful patients and relatives requires courage and experience. The emotional impact is profound, necessitating support and dialogue. The identified challenges are explored in the discussion, emphasizing how busyness impacts palliative care, and highlighting the significance of structured support mechanisms to enhance newly qualified nurses’ competences and confidence in their work in palliative nursing. Conclusion: Newly qualified nurses face challenges transitioning to professional practice. The fast-paced healthcare system impedes their ability to deliver sensitive, person-oriented care, causing uncertainty and fear of failure. Ongoing dialogue and support from experienced colleagues are crucial for helping newly qualified nurses prioritize tasks, make informed clinical decisions, and develop leadership skills in basic palliative care.

Authors: Muñoz Enríquez Kevin Andrés , Cano de la Cruz Yullio
Published: October 2024

La gestión administrativa es un factor crucial que influye en diversos aspectos del sector educativo. Por esta razón, el objetivo principal de esta investigación es determinar la influencia de la gestión administrativa en el desempeño de los docentes en las Unidades Educativas 30 de Julio, Mariscal Sucre y Ramón Moncayo Benítez, ubicadas en la ciudad de Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas. Este estudio adopta una metodología cuantitativa con un diseño no experimental transversal y un alcance correlacional descriptivo. La muestra está compuesta por 120 docentes, y se utilizaron dos cuestionarios para la recolección de datos. Los resultados revelan que el 81,7% de los docentes perciben la gestión administrativa de sus instituciones como mala o aceptable, mientras que el 70,2% consideran su desempeño docente como óptimo. A pesar de estas percepciones, el análisis final muestra que no existe una correlación significativa entre la gestión administrativa y el desempeño docente. Estos hallazgos sugieren que, aunque los docentes tienen una visión crítica de la gestión administrativa, esto no parece afectar directamente su desempeño profesional. Este resultado invita a reflexionar sobre otros posibles factores que puedan estar influyendo en el rendimiento docente y la calidad educativa en general. La investigación subraya la importancia de seguir explorando diferentes dimensiones de la gestión escolar para identificar áreas de mejora que puedan tener un impacto más directo en el desempeño docente y, en última instancia, en los resultados educativos.

Published: October 2024

Christella parasitica (L.) H.Lev. ex Y.H.Chang is a terrestrial fern traditionally used to treat gout and rheumatism, conditions caused by intense inflammation. Since inflammation is linked to many health problems in humans, investigation on the toxicity and anti-inflammatory potential of C. parasitica is of current relevance for drug discovery potential. Crude methanolic extracts of C. parasitica fronds and rhizomes were tested for total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) inhibition and toxicity tests against neonatal human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKn) and lung adenocarcinoma (A549). Plant habit, morphological characteristics, and the ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) region confirmed the plant’s identity. Alkaloids and tannins were present only in the fronds, and anthraquinones only in the rhizome while phenolics, saponins, and terpenoids were found in both fronds and rhizomes. Total phenolic content was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the rhizomes compared to fronds. Flavonoids are present in both fronds and rhizomes. Fronds and rhizomes exhibited antioxidant activity based on DPPH radical-scavenging activity relative to ascorbic acid. They also exhibited high anti-inflammatory activity based on the inhibition of COX2. Both frond and rhizome extracts were nontoxic to HEKn and LA A549. These findings indicate that C. parasitica is nontoxic and has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, which make it a promising natural source of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory reaction of the pancreas caused by inappropriate trypsin activation and an injury / innate inflammatory response. The many etiologies and potentially life-threatening consequences of AP require that clinicians initiate prompt and individualized treatment upon diagnosis. Application of new advances in the management of AP are required at the point of care. To facilitate care, a group of clinical experts have developed a set of recommendations for the evaluation and management of AP during the first 24 hours based on current evidence and evolving concepts.  Ten areas of care are addressed where expert recommendations may be useful: (1) physical examination, (2) laboratory tests, (3) diagnosis, (4) early treatment, (5) severity determination, (6) etiology-based management, (7) typical orders sets, (8) determining of appropriate level of care, (9) quality of care, and (10) quality improvement recommendations. Conclusion: These recommendations should become available as clinical decision support tools that are accessible at the point of care, in real time.
The Syntactic Adaptation of English Borrowings in Contemporary French
Authors: Ashrafova Ilaha
Published: October 2024

This article explores the syntactic adaptation of English borrowings in contemporary French, focusing on how these borrowings are integrated into French grammar. Language borrowing is a natural consequence of globalization, cultural exchange, and technological advancement, with English serving as a dominant source of lexical enrichment for French. Through detailed analysis of borrowed nouns, verbs, adjectives, and idiomatic expressions, this study examines the grammatical modifications necessary for integrating English borrowings into French, including gender assignment, verb conjugation, and sentence structure. The article also highlights the challenges posed by phonetic and orthographic differences, as well as the tension between linguistic purism and natural language evolution. Drawing comparisons with other languages, such as Polish and Spanish, this comprehensive analysis provides insights into the future of English borrowings in French and the broader implications of linguistic adaptation in a globalized world.

Published: October 2024

O presente trabalho buscou pesquisar a respeito da construção da representação social do povo alagoano e como a mídia influencia na forma que esta representação é construída. Para tanto decidiu- se realizar esta abordagem a partir da Teoria das Representações Sociais, visto que, a partir desta é possível reconhecer o trajeto de construção de uma representação e como esta se constitui enquanto instrumento de auto- percepção. Logo nos utilizamos de conceitos e categorias da teoria para nos guiarmos, como o de Ancoragem que trata- se de categorizar algo que até então era estranho, para que este se torne familiar, além disso o trabalho se baseou no próprio conceito de Representações sociais, enquanto conhecimento prático norteador das relações sociais  e na abordagem estrutural da Teoria das Representações Sociais que se desenvolve a partir dos conceitos de núcleo central e de sistema periférico e sua importância na dinâmica das Representações Sociais. Além desta abordagem teórica utilizamos o método hipotético dedutivo, por este permitir a resolução de um problema a partir da eliminação dos erros. Realizou- se também uma abordagem qualitativa, partindo de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de organização de entrevistas virtuais e presenciais que foram examinadas a partir da análise de conteúdo, que permite perceber várias nuances no pensamento do entrevistado através de suas respostas. Em linhas gerais o que podemos verificar através desta pesquisa é que há uma diferença fundamental na forma como o povo alagoano se enxerga e como ele acredita que o povo de outros estados o percebe.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing, China., Mohammad Elham Ebadi
Published: October 2024

This study presents an integrated approach for monitoring and modelling the quality of crossbasin natural ecological environments using advanced techniques such as Markov Random Field Clustering Classification (MRF-CC), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Hidden Markov Models (HMM), and remote sensing. With key ecological parameters including water quality, biodiversity, habitat suitability, and land cover types across various scenarios and locations within a study area. The simulation results from MRF-CC revealed the significant impacts of different environmental scenarios and management actions, with restoration efforts showing improvements in ecological quality, while pollution mitigation and urbanization pressures led to declines. The simulation results from MRF-CC revealed the significant impacts of different environmental scenarios and management actions. For example, restoration efforts (Scenario 1) improved water quality (pH 7.5), biodiversity index (0.88), and habitat suitability (0.78) compared to the baseline values (pH 7.2, biodiversity index 0.85, habitat suitability 0.75). Conversely, pollution mitigation (Scenario 2) and urbanization pressure (Scenario 8) resulted in declines, with water quality dropping to pH 7.0 and 6.9, biodiversity indices to 0.82 and 0.81, and habitat suitability to 0.72 and 0.71, respectively. GIS estimation provided spatial insights into ecological parameters, revealing variability across different locations. For instance, Point A (forest) exhibited a water quality index of 0.78, while Point D (urban) showed a lower index of 0.54. The integration of HMM offered probabilistic predictions of land cover dynamics, with probabilities ranging from 0.85 for forest at Point A to 0.45 for urban land cover at Point D.

Saudi Arabia’s Media Empire: keeping the masses at home
Authors: Hammond Andrew
Published: October 2024

Since the 1990-1 Gulf crisis when the United States used Saudi Arabia as a launchpad for a campaign to evict occupying Iraqi forces from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia has used the Arab media as a key area for responding to perceived threats to the leadership’s legitimacy and stability such as challenges to its alliance with the United States and criticism of its political system, decision-making processes and image in the Arab world. The immediate Saudi response to the Gulf crisis was launching the Middle East Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), established as a private television enterprise by a brother-in-law of King Fahd, Walid al-Ibrahim. Subsequently, Prince Khaled bin Sultan, leader of Saudi forces in the 1991 war and son of current Crown Prince Sultan, consolidated his control over London-based pan-Arab daily newspaper Al Hayat while sons of Riyadh governor Prince Salman consolidated their control over Al Hayat’s London-based competitor Asharq al-Awsat. A minor Saudi prince set up the Orbit entertainment TV network in 1994 and businessman Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and business partner Saleh Kamel established the Arab Radio and Television entertainment network (ART) the same year. In recent years these three networks, MBC, Orbit and ART, have saturated Arab viewers in Arab and Western entertainment, led by Hollywood movies, American sitcoms and talkshows.
BOOK REVIEW | The Palestinian Press as Shaper of Public Opinion, 1929-1939: Writing Up a Storm
Authors: Jakes Aaron
Published: October 2024

The past decade has witnessed a flurry of academic writings that detail the efflorescence of the Arabic press in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on the great wealth of newspapers, journals, and popular magazines that appeared to sate the appetites of a rapidly-growing readership, these studies have endeavored to track the movement of ideas between the printed word and the public imagination. In many cases, such analyses have reconstructed the heady debates of the inter-war era—about the goals of Arab nationalism, the implications of political developments in Europe, or the threats posed by Zionist ambitions—by reading between the pages of competing publications, with the resulting studies enabling us to trace the ideological contours of the period in ever-finer detail. Unfortunately, the precision of the best such studies at the level of cultural production has often served to point out the difficulties involved in evaluating media consumption. Mustapha Kabha’s new work The Palestinian Press as Shaper of Public Opinion, 1929-1939: Writing Up a Storm proposes to tackle this formidable problem head-on and thereby chart the influence of Arabic news media on the evolution of the Palestinian National Movement in the tumultuous years that culminated in the Revolt of 1936-39. In his preface, Kabha promises that “the ability of the journalist of the time to shape public opinion or the consciousness of the masses, is examined through journalistic language, rhetoric, slogans, photographs and cartoons; [sic] while reflection of these methods and their effect on the readers is examined through readers’ responses to the messages conveyed in the newspaper by means of letters to the editor, number of subscriptions, advertisements and notices”(x). A work that takes such a systematic and organized account of these most basic gauges of reader response would be a valuable contribution to a general understanding of media influence and the sclerotic state of audience research in the Arab world while offering a more specific account of political developments in those most tumultuous years of the Palestine Mandate.
BOOK REVIEW | Losing Arab Hearts and Minds: The Coalition, Al-Jazeera and Muslim Public Opinion
Authors: Smith Laura
Published: October 2024

Having served as the Royal Navy’s public spokesman in Iraq, Steve Tatham straddles the journalist/military divide and offers an insider’s perspective on some of the challenges posed by relations between the media and the military. He thus adds to the burgeoning literature on the Iraq war and its fallout, particularly media coverage of the war and the Coalition’s public diplomacy efforts that accompanied and followed it. There is much of interest in the book to both specialists and a general readership. Tatham not only describes many of the dilemmas faced by the military, such as those relating to security and controlling news of casualties, but also those faced by the media. These include the issue of access to information, the need for footage to fill 24-hour news channels, and the onus of appeasing governments and winning audiences in wartime. He is sympathetic – sometimes to a fault – towards the Arab media, which he writes was denied information, excluded from briefings, and at times vilified by the U.S. authorities. He addresses the problems engendered by Arab satellite television coverage and U.S. attitudes, and shows how responsibility for them usually lies with America. For example, Arab media came under Coalition criticism for focusing on civilian casualties during the war, but Tatham explains how such coverage resulted from limited access: since the Arab media were not embedded, they focused on what they could access – often civilian casualties – in order to fill airtime. Another example is the broadcasting of pictures of dead or captured Coalition servicemen, a practice for which Al Jazeera was criticized. Tatham points out that U.S. officials discarded any concerns about inflammatory coverage when it suited their goals, such as when they readily released pictures of the corpses of Saddam’s sons, Uday and Qusay. Arab media were treated in accordance with the Bush administration’s with us or against us policy.

Este estudo revisa a evolução das técnicas cirúrgicas no tratamento dessa patologia, destacando a transição das abordagens tradicionais para as minimamente invasivas, especialmente a laparoscopia. A análise abrange literatura de 2015 a 2023, revelando que as técnicas minimamente invasivas oferecem vantagens significativas, como menor dor pós-operatória e tempo de recuperação reduzido. Enquanto métodos tradicionais, como a técnica de Lichtenstein, continuam a ser eficazes, as abordagens laparoscópicas têm se mostrado superiores em termos de qualidade de vida no pós-operatório. Além disso, o uso de robótica e novos biomateriais promete melhorias futuras. A escolha da técnica ideal deve considerar as condições do paciente e a experiência do cirurgião. O acompanhamento contínuo e a promoção de hábitos saudáveis são fundamentais para otimizar resultados e prevenir recidivas.

Os agonistas beta-2 de curta duração (SABAs) são amplamente utilizados no tratamento de doenças respiratórias, como asma e doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC), devido à sua capacidade de relaxar a musculatura lisa das vias aéreas e proporcionar alívio rápido dos sintomas de broncoconstrição. Este trabalho revisa a literatura recente sobre a eficácia e segurança dos SABAs, destacando sua importância no manejo de crises agudas de asma e exacerbações de DPOC. A pesquisa foi motivada pela necessidade de equilibrar os benefícios e riscos associados ao uso desses medicamentos. Os objetivos desta revisão incluem examinar a eficácia dos SABAs na melhora da função pulmonar e na redução dos sintomas respiratórios, bem como avaliar os efeitos adversos associados ao seu uso. A metodologia envolveu a análise de estudos clínicos e meta-análises recentes, abrangendo uma variedade de populações e contextos clínicos. Os resultados indicam que os SABAs são eficazes na melhora do volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (VEF1) e na redução dos sintomas de broncoconstrição em pacientes com asma e DPOC. No entanto, o uso excessivo de SABAs pode levar a efeitos adversos como taquicardia, tremores e hipocalemia, que são geralmente leves e reversíveis. A combinação de SABAs com corticosteroides inalatórios (ICS) mostrou-se particularmente eficaz no manejo da asma. Conclui-se que os SABAs são uma ferramenta valiosa no tratamento de doenças respiratórias, proporcionando alívio rápido dos sintomas e melhorando a função pulmonar. A escolha do SABA mais adequado deve considerar tanto a eficácia quanto a segurança, e a combinação com ICS pode oferecer benefícios adicionais. Estudos futuros devem focar na otimização do uso de SABAs e na minimização dos efeitos adversos, contribuindo para a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Exploring the Mediating Role of Mindfulness in Mitigating Workplace Ostracism's Effect on Turnover Intention: Evidence from the Banking Sector in Pakistan
Authors: Memona Sadia, Khola Rasool, Dilshad Ali
Published: October 2024

Workplace ostracism, characterized by the intentional or unintentional disregard and neglect of employees by their colleagues or senior management, poses significant challenges to organizational harmony and employee retention. This study aims to investigate the potential of mindfulness in ameliorating the adverse effects of ostracism, thereby reducing turnover rates. Through a survey of 256 employees in the banking sector of Pakistan, we examine whether mindfulness facilitates employees' resilience to workplace ostracism and their subsequent decision to remain within the organization. Utilizing structural equation modeling in IBM-AMOS, findings reveal that workplace ostracism positively and significantly influences turnover intention, while exhibiting a negative and significant relationship with mindfulness. Furthermore, mindfulness demonstrates a negative association with turnover intention, suggesting its potential as a buffer against the detrimental impacts of ostracism. These results offer valuable insights for organizational management and policymakers seeking to enhance employee well-being and reduce turnover rates. By fostering a culture of active mindfulness, organizations can empower employees to navigate challenges associated with workplace ostracism, ultimately fostering greater engagement and retention. Responsible managers can leverage these findings to cultivate factors that promote mindfulness among employees, thereby fostering a more supportive and inclusive work environment conducive to long-term organizational success.
