Authors: Lešták Ján , Fůs Martin , Bartošová Libuše , Marešová Klára
Published: July 2022

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine whether hypertensive glaucoma (HTG) with different types of treatment leads to significant damage in any of the evaluated parameters.

Sample and methodology: The sample, consisting of 36 HTG patients (72 eyes), was divided into three subgroups: In the first group, patients were treated with combination therapy (latanoprost + timolol, latanoprost + dorzolamide + timolol, dorzolamide + timolol). The group consisted of seven women and five men, with an average age of 64 years (49-81). In the second group, patients were treated with beta-blockers (carteolol, betaxolol, timolol). The group consisted of five women and five men, with an average age of 62 years (27-77). In the third group, patients were treated with prostaglandins (latanoprost, bimatoprost). The group consisted of eleven women and three men, with an
average age of 61 years (61-78). Criteria for inclusion in the study were visual acuity of 1.0 with a possible correction of less than ±3 dioptres, approximately the same changes in the visual fields of all patients, an intraocular pressure (IOP) of less than 18 mmHg, and no other ocular or neurological disease. The retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) on the optic nerve target and vessel density (VD) was measured using an Avanti RTVue XR from Optovue. We determined the values of VD in whole image (WI) and VD of peripapillary (PP). In both cases, we then measured all vessels (VDa) and small vessels (VDs). The visual field was examined by means of a fast threshold glaucoma program with a Medmont M 700 instrument. In addition to the sum of sensitivities in apostilbs (asb) in the range of 0-22 degrees, the overall visual field defect (OD) was also evaluated. The statistical analysis was carried out using a multivariate regression model with adjustment for age and gender. The measured values of the third group were taken as
baseline.

Results: In the statistical analysis, we have found differences in visual field in the combination treatment group (p = 0.0006) and differences were recorded for RNFL in the beta-blocker group (p = 0.04).
Paraneoplastic Optic Neuropathy as an Initial Clinical Manifestation of Small Cell Lung Cancer. A Case Report
Authors: Akbulut Ersin , Bayraktar Havvanur , Tugcu Betül
Published: July 2022

Paraneoplastic optic neuropathy (PON) is a very rare condition. In this study, a case of PON is presented, with the first complaint by the patient being painless vision loss in one eye. In the follow-up of our case, optic neuropathy developed in the fellow eye. Electromyography examination performed due to diffuse body pain and motor loss in the left extremity was compatible with peripheral sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Lung biopsy was planned due to the EMG result and lymphadenopathy detection in thorax computed tomography (CT). The biopsy result of the patient was reported as nonspecific hyperplasia. As the patient’s complaints increased, a paraneoplastic antibody panel was requested and CV2 / CRMP5 antibody was found to be positive. Thereupon, as a result of the repeated biopsy, our patient was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. We think that paraneoplastic optic neuropathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients of advanced age, smokers, painless subacute vision loss, optic disc swelling, and research in this direction should be insisted on, as in our case.
Testing behaviour may bias observational studies of vaccine effectiveness
Authors: Glasziou Paul , McCaffery Kirsten , Cvejic Erin , Batcup Carys , Ayre Julie , Pickles Kristen , Bonner Carissa
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Recent observational studies suggest that vaccines may have little effect in preventing infection with the Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. However, the observed effects may be confounded by patient factors, preventive behaviours, or differences in testing behaviour. To assess potential confounding, we examined differences in testing behaviour between unvaccinated and vaccinated populations. METHODS: We recruited 1,526 Australian adults for an online randomized study about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing in late 2021, collecting self-reported vaccination status and three measures of COVID-19 testing behaviour: testing in past month or ever and test intention if they woke with a sore throat. We examined the association between testing intentions and vaccination status in the trial’s baseline data. RESULTS: Of the 1,526 participants (mean age 31 y), 22% had a COVID-19 test in the past month and 61% ever; 17% were unvaccinated, 11% were partially vaccinated (one dose), and 71% were fully vaccinated (two or more doses). Fully vaccinated participants were twice as likely as those who were unvaccinated (relative risk [RR] 2.2, 95% CI 1.8 to 2.8, p < 0.001) to report positive COVID testing intentions. Partially vaccinated participants had less positive intentions than fully vaccinated participants (RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.89, p < 0.001) but higher intentions than unvaccinated participants (RR 1.5, 95% CI 1.4 to 1.6, p = 0.002). DISCUSSION: Vaccination predicted greater COVID-19 testing intentions and would substantially bias observed vaccine effectiveness. To account for differential testing behaviours, test-negative designs are currently the preferred option, but their assumptions need more thorough examination.

Self-Development of Professional Competencies of a Novice Teacher in the Process of Enriching the Natural Science Subject-Spatial Environment
Authors: Barashkina Svetlana Borisovna
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the possibilities of self-development of professional competencies of a young (novice) teacher in the process of research activities in order to enrich the natural science subject-spatial environment. The article presents the opinions of scientists E.I. Petrenko, L.V. Ignatieva about the role and place of research activity of a young teacher – a former student who graduated from a higher educational institution or a trainee student who began teaching as a student, who knows many teaching methods, has studied various scientific disciplines in his field, or a teacher who has worked for up to 5 years. In their opinion, the competence of a graduate is manifested in the willingness (motivation and personal qualities) to apply knowledge, skills and experience for successful professional or other activities in the presence of problems and resources. The creation of methodological resources begins with a bachelor student at a university and is the result of research activity of a young teacher in school. Young teacher often experiences difficulties while choosing material for "Environmental Studies" with the purpose of junior schoolers achieving different results.
Scientific novelty is the idea of creating innovative methodological projects which enrich subject-spatial environment of elementary school aimed at development of natural subjects and research skills of students that took "Environmental Studies' subject. The author managed to define methodological innovations presented as guidance manual which were created while writing a diploma then were approbated under the conditions of educational space of school. "Geographer's diary", "Society city" interactive game, researcher's handbook "Way to health", "Briefcase museum" call for analyzing of different topics of scientific topic, creation of which requires research competence of a teacher. The resources provided directed at enriching school's subject-spatial environment since work with the resources means usage of subject equipment.
It was proved that having learned basic professional competence in university young teacher can develop them in school's educational space. Basic directions of activities on development of professional competences are: methodological work, innovative activity, project-research teacher's activity, Young specialist can approbate created methodological materials under actual conditions of school thus enriching audience's subject environment, providing individual educational requirements of all subject of educational process.

Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of psychological adaptation of patients to a new coronavirus infection COVID-19, with chronic diseases of a therapeutic and surgical profile during the ongoing pandemic. The subject of the presented work is very relevant in view of the fact that the incidence of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 is currently continuing throughout the world. For now, scientists, doctors, and researchers can only hope for a speedy end to the pandemic. Nevertheless, some authors are already talking about the imminent start of the sixth «wave» of the protracted illness. It is known that for better treatment, patients do not need only medical or surgical therapy – they often also need psychological help and support. An attempt to analyze the psychological adaptation of patients in a pandemic was the goal of the presented work. The objects of the study were 200 patients of the Voronezh Regional Clinical Hospital №1, divided into 2 groups, depending on the profile: therapeutic and surgical. Subsequently, there was a division into subgroups, depending on whether the patient «transferred» a new virus or not, according to the respondent himself. A special questionnaire developed by the authors included questions about gender, age, COVID-19 disease, and the presence of chronic diseases requiring hospitalization was studied. A feature of the study was the determination of IgG to COVID-19 in patients. Subsequently, the general attitude of respondents to COVID-19 was studied, the level of fear was determined at different «waves» of the pandemic, and an attempt was made to identify depressive states in the subjects. The data obtained are of great interest not only to psychologists and psychotherapists, but also to practicing doctors of various profiles.

The problem of invesigating the stresses in the plates, which are subjected to the action of concentrated forces and locally distributed load is considered. The stresses were determined on the basis of the relations of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity using two methods. The first uses the symbolic Lurie method with the additional application of Vashchenko-Zakharchenko expansion formulas. The solution is constructed in the form of series, which exponentially converge at points distant from the applied forces. However, these series converge slowly in the vicinity of the applied load. In this regard, the solution of the problem is constructed by another method, using the Hankel integral transformation. The approach to find special integrals appearing in problems of the theory of elasticity for plates is proposed. After transformations, the relations for determining the stresses that include the integrals of the functions exponentially attenuating at infinity are obtained. The relations for determining the stresses in the plates on the basis of approximate equations using the Kirchhoff-Lev hypotheses are also given. For this case, the solutions for stresses subjected to the action of concentrated forces and under locally distributed load are given in analytical form. There are cases when stresses found by the elementary formulas, obtained on the basis of Kirchhoff-Lev equations with sufficient accuracy for practice, can be applied in plate bending problems. In particular, it is found that the determined stresses at the boundary opposite to the applied local load turn out to be tensile and at the same time practically accurate if the force is greater than the thickness of the plate. In this case the stresses found under the applied load are determined with larger errors. However, these stresses are compressive and are not essential in the calculation of strength of concrete materials.

L’infertilité est considérée comme un problème de santé publique majeur, et le recours aux traitements de l’infertilité est en augmentation. Chaque année, 200 000 enfants naissent dans le monde et 1 enfant sur 30 en France grâce aux techniques d’assistance médicale à la procréation (AMP). L’incidence globale des malformations congénitales (MC), y compris les formes majeures, semble augmentée chez ces enfants par rapport à celle observée chez les enfants conçus spontanément. Le risque malformatif spécifique est également augmenté avec notamment l’implication des systèmes cardiovasculaire, urogénital, nerveux et musculosquelettique. Le risque de maladies liées à l’empreinte parentale apparaît également plus élevé chez les enfants conçus par AMP. Les techniques d’AMP pourraient avoir un impact délétère. Néanmoins, d’autres facteurs sont à prendre en compte tels que l’âge parental avancé, les facteurs à l’origine de l’infertilité et le mode de vie. L’impact de l’AMP sur la santé des individus qui en sont issus est une préoccupation majeure, notamment avec l’arrivée de la nouvelle loi de bioéthique qui ouvre un accès élargi à cette procédure et qui se traduira inévitablement par une augmentation du nombre de grossesses conçues par AMP. La poursuite des recherches sur les différentes techniques d’AMP et leurs conséquences sur la santé des enfants paraît indispensable, les données issues des registres régionaux des MC pourraient apporter une aide en ce sens.
Impact du style d’attachement adulte sur le développement de l’attachement maternel au fœtus et d’une anxiété spécifique à la grossesse chez la femme enceinte

Published: July 2022

Cette étude avait pour objectif d’évaluer l’impact des styles d’attachement de l’adulte sur le développement de l’anxiété spécifique à la grossesse (ASG) et de l’attachement prénatal au fœtus. Soixante-dix-neuf femmes enceintes ont répondu au PAI, au PRAQ-R2 et au RSQ. Les styles d’attachement craintif et préoccupé prédisent des scores élevés d’ASG significatifs. Aucun résultat significatif n’est trouvé pour l’attachement prénatal. Mieux connaître le rôle de l’attachement dans le développement de l’ASG permettrait d’améliorer les interventions thérapeutiques et préventives chez la femme enceinte.
Rubrycele i schematyzmy diecezji lubelskiej w dobie zaborów
Authors: Marczewski ks. Jarosław Roman
Published: July 2022

Diecezja lubelska została ustanowiona w 1805 roku mocą wydanej wówczas papieskiej bulli. Jej ogłoszenie z przyczyn politycznych zostało odłożone do 1807 roku. W konsekwencji dopiero od 1808 roku zaczęły ukazywać się rubrycele i schematyzmy lubelskie. W swoich cechach zewnętrznych oraz układzie treści przypominały wcześniejsze druki diecezji chełmskiej i chełmsko-lubelskiej. W okresie rozbiorów, w latach 1808-1918, ukazało się 111 rubrycel i 105 schematyzmów. Wszystkie udało się odnaleźć w archiwalnych i bibliotecznych instytucjach Lublina. Rubrycele i schematyzmy lubelskie były wydawane w Warszawie oraz Lublinie. Posługiwano się w nich językiem łacińskim, polskim i rosyjskim. W rubryceli zamieszczano kalendarz liturgiczny, a także ogłoszenia duszpasterskie oraz liturgiczne ważne z punktu widzenia życia diecezji i posługi księdza. W schematyzmach podawano informacje o całej hierarchii kościelnej pod panowaniem rosyjskim oraz o duchowieństwie i instytucjach diecezji lubelskiej. Z perspektywy czasu stały się one cennym źródłem do badań nad kościelną przeszłością.

Uposażenie organistów w parafiach rzymskokatolickiej diecezji przemyskiej w połowie XVIII wieku
Authors: Kowalski Marcin Jerzy
Published: July 2022

W artykule omówiono uposażenie organistów, którym dysponowali oni w połowie XVIII stulecia w parafiach rzymskokatolickiej diecezji przemyskiej. Głównymi źródłami pozwalającymi bliżej poznać tę społeczność parafialną są wizytacje biskupie. Tutaj skupiono się przede wszystkim na dwóch, tj. z lat 1743-1745 i 1753-1757, przeprowadzonych przez ordynariusza przemyskiego Wacława Hieronima Sierakowskiego (1742-1760). Niekiedy organistów utożsamiano z nauczycielami i na odwrót. Prowadzenie przez nich zajęć dydaktycznych możliwe było dzięki ich umiejętności pisania i czytania.  Artykuł ten traktuje jednak przede wszystkim o materialnych podstawach funkcjonowania organistów. Dzieliły się one na nieruchomości, wynagrodzenia w pieniądzu oraz świadczenia ludności parafialnej. Do tych pierwszych należały domy mieszkalne, budynki gospodarcze, pola, ogrody, sady i łąki. O ile rzadko się zdarzało, żeby organiści nie mieli swoich chałup, o tyle kwestia szerzej pojętego gospodarstwa nie jest już tak oczywista. Przydomowe i niewielkie ogrody oraz sady często bywały w ich rękach, ale większe kompleksy rolne stanowiły rzadkość. Mimo tego zasiewali oni te niewielkie skrawki gruntów zbożami lub warzywami. Parali się także hodowlą zwierząt. Stan techniczny stojących tam budynków również budził wiele zastrzeżeń.  Ważne dla organistów okazywały się wpływy pieniężne w postaci stałych rocznych pensji wypłacanych przez rządców parafialnych jednorazowo lub w ratach. Obok tego wynagrodzenia za swoje posługi ministrowie otrzymywali pieniądze od cechów miejskich, bractw religijnych, magistratów oraz mieszkańców parafii. Dodatkowo za np. śpiewanie lub granie w czasie różnych nabożeństw dostawali gratyfikacje od duchownych będących personelem pomocniczym dla plebanów. Ostatnimi były świadczenia uiszczane przez samych wiernych. Zaliczano do nich m.in. akcydensy oraz petyty, tj. snopki zbóż, a także w różnym wymiarze inne daniny zbożowe. Pewne bliżej niesprecyzowane korzyści przynosiły także kolędy, kartkowe, klerykatury oraz tzw. stołowe i quaestus.  Pomimo trudności w interpretacji niektórych pojęć związanych z uposażeniem organistów w tego typu źródłach pozostają oni wciąż najlepiej opisaną grupą wśród wszystkich ministrów kościelnych.
„Ten Knobloch, ten czosnek, czujemy go w nosie”. Bernardyni polscy a reformacja w XVI wieku
Authors: Sitnik OFM Aleksander
Published: July 2022

Bernardyni polscy w XVI wieku byli postrzegani, także przez protestantów, jako zdecydowani obrońcy wiary i Kościoła katolickiego. Działalność tę podjęli bardzo wcześnie, bo już w latach 20. XVI wieku. Wykorzystywali w niej tradycyjne metody: kaznodziejstwo, spowiedź, liturgię, pieśń religijną, piastowane funkcje kwestarzy i kapelanów dworskich, organizowanie przyklasztornych bractw religijnych. Dzięki dobremu wykształceniu teologicznemu oraz prowadzeniu życia moralnego na odpowiednim poziomie jedynie trzech znanych z imienia i nazwiska bernardynów przeszło do obozu protestanckiego. Zakonnicy utracili na rzecz protestantów tylko jeden klasztor we Wschowie, a przejęli klasztory pruskie w Lubawie, Barczewie, Nowem, Gdańsku oraz Toruniu po upadłej w okresie reformacji saskiej prowincji zakonnej św. Jana Chrzciciela. W znacznej mierze jest to zasługa prowincjałów, którzy potrafili uchronić klasztory bernardyńskie przed reformacją.

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in China's international relations: A part of the New Silk Road or a hotbed of conflict?
Authors: Buyarov Dmitry
Published: July 2022

The article examines the place and role of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China in the economic project of the New Silk Road in the context of China's international relations. The importance of the XUAR for China at the beginning of the XXI century increases due to its economic and geostrategic characteristics. China's economic strategy contributes to its strengthening in the Central Asian region and strengthens its position in comparison with the capabilities of Russia and the United States. For China, this is not only a desire to achieve foreign economic goals, but also an opportunity to reduce the risks of the terrorist threat. Xinjiang is becoming not only a springboard for China's new economic policy in Central Asia, but also a link between the important route of goods, raw materials and investments from the Pacific Ocean to Europe. At the same time, the XUAR is a zone of long-term instability, which is expressed in the development of separatism, terrorism and extremism. The actions of the Chinese authorities are aimed at stabilizing the situation in the autonomous region. But sometimes this is achieved by force and contradicts the ethno-religious traditions of the local population. Thus, XUAR, which is part of the New Silk Road, is characterized not only as a promisingly developing region, but also represents a hotbed of significant risk.

Burkina Faso: Putsch 2022
Authors: Filippov Vasily
Published: July 2022

In June 2021, the most authoritative experts of the Paris Center for Analysis, Forecasting and Strategy sent an analytical report to the President of France. In the report the experts urged him to be prepared for a prolonged destabilization in Africa and warned that the coming global political crisis could break the fragile political regimes in the Sahel and Central Africa. This prediction turned out to be prophetic. The military coup in Mali in May 2021 led to the overthrow of President B.Ndau. In September, a military coup took place in Guinea, during which the country's president, A.Conde, was detained.
In January of this year, President M. Kabore was arrested as a result of the coup that took place in Burkina Faso. Since 2015, this country has been involved in a spiral of violence perpetrated in Africa by jihadist movements. Its citizens more and more clearly demonstrated dissatisfaction with the inability of the authorities to ensure the safety of the population and protect people from the raids of the Islamists, the army, in turn, was outraged by the poor supply and incompetence of the command. Kabore was unable to overcome the political crisis in the country. As a result of the military coup, officers came to power who showed clear sympathy for Russia and the Russian president. These political orientations found support among the citizens of the country and became apparent during mass demonstrations in the capital.
Participants in the capital's actions in support of the new leadership of the country demonstrated their rejection of France's African policy. Paris strongly condemned the military coup in Burkina Faso, as well as the change of political regimes in Mali and Guinea. On February 17, the Elysee Palace announced that France and its partners in Operation Takuba had decided to withdraw troops from the Sahel. On the contrary, immediately after the coup, the Russian private military company Wagner declared its readiness to assist in the modernization of the Burkenian army and to help strengthen the country's defense capability.
China-Africa economic ties: Problems and outlooks
Authors: Deych Tatiana L.
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this article is to analyze the state of China-Africa economic ties and the changes taking place in them during the COVID-19 and the aggravation of international relations.
The relevance of the topic is due to the political and economic significance of China as well as the important role of African countries in the world economy and modern international relations, and to the intensification of the world powers competition for positions and influence on the continent. Beijing is Africa's leading trade partner, one of its main donors and investors.
The article analyzes China's economic cooperation with African countries, the problems they faced in era of COVID-19, and the prospects for their development. China's trade and economic relations with African countries have experienced a downturn due to the pandemic, lower commodity prices and other reasons, but now we see the growth of Sino-African trade. The article also contains an analysis of the global Chinese foreign policy initiative “One Belt, One Road” (BRI), which included Africa, and the results of the participation in Chinese project for African economy.
The China-Africa Cooperation Forum (FOCAC), which has been operating since 2000, remains an important factor in Chinese policy on the continent. It was confirmed in November 2021 by the 8th FOCAC conference in Dakar (Senegal), where the supply of Chinese vaccines to the continent, lending to African projects, African debts, as well as the BRI integration with African Continental Free Trade Area were among the discussed issueses.
In difficult conditions due to COVID-19 and worsening of international situation China-Africa economic cooperation continues to develop. However, Beijing is making certain adjustments to it. This applies, in particular, to project lending, which has aggravated the debt problem of some African countries.

Authors: Zainal Asliah , Samsulhadi Muhammad
Published: July 2022

Institusi pendidikan keagamaan modern berkontribusi besar dalam meningkatkan religiusitas bagi masyarakat, terutama pada masyarakat perkotaan. Tulisan ini mengkaji Islamic Centre Mu’adz bin Jabal (ICM) sebagai preferensi masyarakat kota Kendari sebagai lokus pendidikan religiusitas dan kesalehan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi agama dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik wawancara dan observasi. Hasil pengkajian yang dilakukan menemukan bahwa terdapat enam alasan bagi masyarakat kota Kendari untuk menjadikan ICM sebagai preferensi keagamaan; pertama, infrastruktur yang memadai; kedua, kurikulum pendidikan yang solid; ketiga, program dakwah berbasis kaderisasi imam dan tahfidz; keempat, layanan sosial keagamaan yag komplit; kelima, pemanfaatan media informasi dan dakwah kontemporer; dan keenam, performa Arab sebagai referensi Islam. Daya tarik ICM meluas dan menyasar hampir semua segmen dan kebutuhan ibadah masyarakat muslim di wilayah perkotaan. Kajian ini menunjukan kecenderungan masyarakat memilih lembaga disebabkan oleh kekuatan daya tarik internal dan dilegitimasi dengan branding Arab sebagai Islam otentik. Performance ICM yang merepresentasikan Arab menjadi daya tarik bagi masyarakat urban di Kota Kendari. Kekuatan daya tarik ini akhirnya membentuk jama’ah muslim, terutama segmen masyarakat menengah ke atas. Kata Kunci: institusi keagamaan, kesalehan masyarakat, konstruksi religiusitas, masyarakat urban, preferensi keagamaan. Modern religious education institutions contribute greatly in increasing religiosity for the community, especially in urban communities. This paper examines the Islamic Center Mu'adz bin Jabal (ICM) as the preference of the Kendari city community as the locus of religious and pious education. This study uses a Pusaka Jurnal Khazanah Keagamaan, Vol. 10, No. 1, 2022 21 sociological religious approach with data collection using interview and observation techniques. The results of the study found that there were six reasons the people of Kendari city made ICM a religious preference due to first, adequate infrastructure; second, a solid educational curriculum; third, the program based on the regeneration of imams and tahfidz; fourth, complete religious social services; fifth, the use of contemporary information and da'wah media; and sixth, the performance of Arabic as a reference for Islam. The appeal of ICM extends and targets almost all segments and worship needs of the Muslim community in urban areas. This study argues that the tendency of people to choose institutions is caused by the strength of internal attraction and is legitimized by the Arab branding as authentic Islam. ICM's performance, which represents Arabs, has become an attraction for urban communities in Kendari City. The strength of this attraction eventually formed the Muslim community, especially the upper middleclass segment of society.

Authors: Ayu Santri , Materan Materan , Ahyar Muzayyin
Published: July 2022

Selimpat adalah praktik kebudayaan yang terjadi di desa Ngayau yang dilakukan dalam kondisi tertentu. Tradisi selimpat memiliki daya tarik untuk dikaji oleh karena merepresentasikan masyarakat Muslim Kutai hingga dewasa ini. Selimpat diyakini oleh setiap keluarga yang masih menjalankan tradisi ini sebagai sumber hukum yang harus dilaksanakan dalam kondisi tertentu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana korelasi antara tradisi selimpat dengan normatifitas Islam pada masyarakat Kutai. Penelitiain ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan campuran antara empiris dan normatif. Pada tahap analisis digunakan teori persinggungan antara agama-budaya dengan mengkaji selimpat dan ‘urf dalam pandangan hukum Islam. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa tradisi selimpat merupakan adat istiadat yang bertahan pada masyarakat Ngayau. Tradisi selimpat termasuk dalam kategori ‘urf. Meskipun tradisi ini dianggap bersinggungan dengan akidah, bukan berarti pelakunya dikenakan status hukum musyrik ataupun kafir dikarenakan masyarakat desa Ngayau tidak sepenuhnya mempercayai bahwa tradisi selimpat adalah satu-satunya upaya yang harus dilakukan untuk mencapai tujuan tertentu seperti kehamilan, pernikahan, penyembuhan, kelahiran dan lainnya.

Authors: Saugi Wildan , Suratman Suratman , Fauziah Kurniati
Published: July 2022

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kepemimpinan kiai dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di pesantren. Sebuah hasil penelitian kualitatif deskriptif yang berlokasi di pesantren Al-Kholil Berau. Sumber data primer adalah kiai, wakil pimpinan pesantren, ustaz, dan santri, sedangkan sumber data sekunder adalah dokumen-dokumen pendukung yang diperlukan dalam penelitian. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yaitu observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan model Miles Huberman dan Saldana yang meliputi empat tahap yakni pengumpulan data, kondensasi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan kiai Suhari Mustaji merupakan gaya kepemimpinan demokratis-spiritual (karismatik). Hal itu ditandai dengan perannya dalam pengelolaan pendidikan di pesantren Al-Kholil sebagai pengasuh, motivator, pendidik, manajer, pengambil keputusan, pemimpin, dan teladan. Adapun upaya kiai dalam peningkatan mutu pendidikan adalah dengan merumuskan visi, misi, tujuan pesantren, merancang program peningkatan mutu pendidikan, mendatangkan guru dari lulusan pesantren Jawa, melakukan studi banding terkait dengan manajemen dan perbaikan mutu pendidikan pesantren, dan menjadikan kemajuan teknologi untuk mengembangkan pesantren. Faktor pendukung peningkatan mutu pendidikan pesantren terletak pada semangat kiai, para ustaz, dan dewan pengurus yang fokus pada pembentukan karakter santri berlandaskan pada akal, hati, dan jasmani. Sedangkan faktor penghambatnya adalah terletak pada himmah (semangat) santri yang masih lemah dalam menuntut ilmu agama. Kepemimpinan kiai di pesantren Al-Kholil Berau mampu mengintegrasikan antara pendidikan klasik dan modern (unlinier) dengan tetap mempertahankan keaslian tradisi pesantren di samping perkembangan teknologi saat ini.
Narasi Toleransi Beragama Pada Akun Youtube “Jeda Nulis”
Authors: Haq Zihni Ainul
Published: July 2022

Tulisan ini mengungkapkan makna narasi toleransi beragama pada akun Youtube “Jeda Nulis” dalam vlog “Indonesia Rumah Bersama: Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” oleh Habib Husein Ja’far Al-Hadar. Media sosial saat ini terus mengalami kemajuan dalam mentransformasikan pesan-pesan positif mengenai toleransi beragama sebagai hal yang sangat penting dipraktikkan oleh masyarakat. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan kajian pustaka. Data-data penelitian dikumpulkan dari Youtube milik Habib Ja’far dalam bentuk dokumentasi video. Analisis data menggunakan semiotika dengan menerapkan teori Roland Barthes. Bentuk analisis data yaitu menentukan dan menafsirkan pesan toleransi beragama yang saat ini sering kita temui di media sosial. Makna semiotika dari teori Roland Barthes terdiri dari tiga makna yaitu denotasi, konotasi, dan mitos. Tiga makna tersebut diyakini mampu mengungkap simbol dan pesan yang sebenarnya terkandung dibalik ceramah atau nasihat pesan toleransi beragama pada akun youtube “Jeda Nulis” dengan judul video “Indonesia Rumah Bersama: Bhinneka Tunggal Ika”. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa makna toleransi, adalah: pertama, berisi pesan pentingnya rasa saling menghormati perbedaan satu sama lain; kedua, menjaga persaudaraan antar umat beragama dan memelihara persatuan bangsa Indonesia serta berlomba-lomba berbuat kebaikan; dan ketiga, agama Islam diturunkan untuk seluruh makhluk di muka bumi ini atau rahmatan lil alamin. Ketiga narasi toleransi beragama tersebut berimplikasi terhadap lahirnya tatanan sosial dalam konteks masyarakat bhinneka dan penguatan kehidupan kebangsaan dalam ikatan Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia.
Philosophy as a Way of Life as a Pathway to Recovery for Addicted Individuals
Authors: Du Plessis Guy
Published: July 2022

In this essay I address the notions of motivation and self-deception by exploring the value of philosophy in the context of addiction treatment. More specifically, in this essay I explore the notion of philosophy as a way of life as a recovery pathway for individuals in addiction recovery. My hypothesis is that philosophy as a way of life can be a compelling, and legitimate recovery pathway for individuals in addiction recovery, as one of many recovery pathways. I will focus on logic-based therapy (LBT) applied in the context of addiction recovery. The aim of presenting a case study is to show how a client receiving LBT is provided with techniques and a worldview that can contribute to a philosophically oriented recovery program. In the case study the client was advised to apply the moral philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche as an uplifting philosophical framework to counteract his unproductive worldview and fallacious thinking. Considering that there is an ostensibly low efficacy rate for the treatment of addiction, articulating the value of philosophy as a way of life as a recovery pathway provides a conceptual and methodological framework for the development of novel philosophically-based addiction treatment and recovery-oriented programs–thus expanding the treatment and recovery options available for those seeking recovery from addiction.
Possible Tetraquark Explanation for the Proposed X(3960)
Authors: Bevelacqua Joseph
Published: July 2022

The recently proposed X(3960) structure is investigated using a first-order tetraquark mass formula. This mass relationship is based on weakly bound Ds+ + Ds¯ meson clusters. The first-order tetraquark mass formula provides a reasonable prediction (within about 1.3%) of the measured mass, and predicts a Jπ = 0+ in agreement with data.
