Rowing requires high physiological demand with metabolic contribution from both aerobic and anaerobic energy pathways. Hence VO2 Maxmeasurement is the most important physiological factor affecting rowing performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cardiopulmonary fitness states of National rowers, National youth rowers, and rowers from General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU), Sri Lanka who are at three different age categories and thereby to get a glimpse into the prospects of rowing in Sri Lanka. Twenty male and twenty-seven female rowers from the three groups were recruited and all the subjects performed incremental exercise tests on a Concept II rowing ergometer. All three groups achieved a heart rate of more than 90% of predicted. The best oxygen pulse (VO2/HR) was achieved by male youth rowers (15.52 L/min) followed by KDU rowers (14.53 L/min) and national rowers (11.48 L/min). Youth male rowers had the best delivery of oxygen which is 97.6% predicted. The highest average VO2 Max value obtained by male youth rowers was 43.84 ml/min/kg (87.5 % of the prediction of VO2). KDU male rowers achieved a VO2 Max of 40.33 ml/min/kg which is higher, than the national rowers with a VO2 Max of 36.23 ml/min/kg. The highest mean VO2 Max among females was 30.43 ml/min/kg (76% of the predicted) achieved by national rowers. Female KDU rowers achieved the lowest VO2 Max at 27.03 ml/min/kg (69% of the predicted) and female youth rowers achieved a VO2 Max value of 29.1 ml/min/kg. KDU male rowers had the lowest VO2 at anaerobic threshold (AT) indicating capacity to improve (27.34 ml/min/kg). The highest VO2 at AT among females, (21.65 ml/min/kg) was achieved by youth rowers. National female rowers also showed a VO2 AT of 21.02 ml/min/kg and The KDU female rowers achieved 19.49 ml/min/kg, indicating the need for improvement. Considering the age of national youth rowers and their respective VO2 Max and VO2 AT values, our finding suggests the national rowing federation of Sri Lanka should focus more on youth rowers to improve the future chances to bring international victories to Sri Lanka.

Published: July 2023

Many zakat amils who work in zakat management institutions have different educational backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge as well as understandings regarding good and correct zakat management schemes. Therefore, to create standardization of the same zakat management capabilities in each zakat management institution, the amil zakat certification is one of the right ways to go towards this. Amil zakat certification is formulated to create amil to have superior and tested work competence, to create effectiveness and efficiency in managing zakat. At BAZNAS Cilacap Regency itself, there are at least two amil who have participated in the amil zakat certification and are declared competent. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the amil zakat certification in increasing amil competence at BAZNAS Cilacap Regency.

This research uses a type of qualitative research with a field survey approach, where in this study the researcher intends to describe and describe what events or problems are following what is obtained in the field, namely BAZNAS Cilacap Regency, whether the data is in the form of written or oral words from the informants as well as other supporting data. In data collection techniques, the authors use observation, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, in data analysis techniques, the authors use data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or data verification. As well as data validity techniques, the authors use triangulation and member checks.

The results of the study show that the effectiveness of the amil zakat certification in increasing amil competence at BAZNAS Cilacap Regency, in general can be said to be quite effective. This is due to positive progress in improving the quality of the work competence of amil after they have been certified. In addition, supporting material as well as concrete evidence of increasing competence can be found by looking at the data on the number of muzaki and mustahik, the number of zakat, infaq, and alms beneficiaries, as well as the acquisition and distribution of zakat, infaq, and alms, which in general also continued to increase when two amil at BAZNAS Cilacap Regency had carried out certification and were declared competent.

Published: July 2023

This research aims to analyze the role of Islamic Financial Institutions or IFI in facilitating the growth of Islamic public finance worldwide. The research method used is a qualitative method through Systematic Literature Review approach and is described comprehensively through PRISMA flow diagram. The flow diagram potrays information flow through the different stages of a systematic review. It maps out the number of records identified, included and excluded, and the reasons for exclusions. Various templates are available dependent upon the type of review (new or updated) and sources used to identify research. We selected articles from credible and relevant Scopus Q1-Q4 databases that met the standard eligibility criteria. The selected articles were analyzed using the VOSviewer tool to map the article titles, author names, country of origin, and keyword trends related to Islamic Financial Institutions (IFI) and Islamic Public Finance (IPF). The results yielded 76 articles which were then filtered through several stages resulting in seven final articles for further analysis. We critically examined the research findings in these articles and addressed them based on the research questions i.e. the role of IFI, the approach used to measure the role of IFI, and the factors influencing the role of IFI in the growth of IPF. Our analysis revealed that IFI plays a crucial role in the growth of IPF as multi-institutional entities collectively responsible for the social welfare of the ummah. Additionally, the measurement approach to IFI's role can utilize various Islamic public policy instruments such as zakah and waqf. Factors influencing the role of IFI include the need for intensive government-led programs in socializing and improving financial literacy among the public to ensure that Islamic financial inclusivity reaches all segments of society.

The purpose of this study is to explain the role of digitalization in the development of zakat management in Indonesia. This research is motivated by the development of zakat collection systems such as the digital zakat financial system that utilizes digital platforms. The research method used is qualitative and based on a systematic literature review approach. Sources of data come from literary journals published by Scopus and Google Scholar indexed publishers (Sinta 2 and Sinta 3). Data was collected using the Publish or Perish (PoP) program. Selected articles are analyzed using the VOSviewer tool to submit article title, author name, country of origin, and trending keywords. The ease of paying zakat is a key factor that opens the way for Muzaki to pay zakat. The community's understanding of the channels that can be used to pay zakat will certainly provide a solution if the community has difficulty paying Amir Zakat directly. In general, organizations have three channels to manage zakat. That is, direct payment channels, payment channels through banks, payments through point of sale, or payments through electronic media (digital payments).

Respiratory infections are one of the leading diseases currently and almost 2/3 of these infectious processes occur in childhood. The pathogenesis of recurrent respiratory infections is based on the failure of the links of the immune system, mainly caused by a violation of the immune homeostasis of the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and oropharynx. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of the immunomodulatory therapy using sodium deoxyribonucleate on the microbiota of the oropharynx in children with recurrent respiratory infections. A single-center randomized placebo-controlled closed experimental study was performed in 90 pediatric patients with recurrent respiratory infections aged 1 to 6 y/o in May 2021-Nov. 2021 on the basis of the private medical center “Center for Modern Pediatrics” located in Voronezh, Russia. The main group consisted of 46 (23 boys and 23 girls aged 4 [3; 5] y/o) who had been given the sodium deoxyribonucleate drug nasally for 30 days. The control group of 44 (22 boys and 22 girls aged 4 [3; 5] y/o) had been given a placebo (a sterile 0.1% sodium chloride fluid) according to the same prescription scheme. The concentration of secretory immunoglobulin was determined by the enzyme immunoassay; the composition of the microbiota was studied by the genetic sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. All of the participants in both groups were examined twice: at the start of the study and 90 days after. A statistically significant decrease in the relative amount of Proteobacteria and an increase in the relative amount of Firmicutes and Actinobacteriota, an increase in the concentration of sIgA was found against the background of the use of the drug, which in tis turn indicates an increase in the activity of mucosal immunity (p<0.001). Conclusion: thus, the use of sodium deoxyribonucleate in children aged 1 to 6 years old with recurrent respiratory infections leads to a statistically significant decrease in the relative amount of Proteobacteria and an increase in the relative amount of Firmicutes and Actinobacteriota in the oropharynx; increased activity of mucosal immunity, as evidenced by an increase in the concentration of sIgA.

Article describes a clinical case of a female adolescent with macrohematuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis and cholelithiasis, in which laboratory examination and imaging of parathyroid glands gave grounds to diagnose primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma. Diagnosis was based on laboratory examination and later confirmed by instrumental methods: when hypercalcemia was detected, the necessary determination of parathyroid hormone level took place and when it increased, a mandatory biochemical analysis of urine was performed as well as required. Despite the rarity of primary hyperparathyroidism in childhood, alertness in relation to this pathology is necessary for pediatric practitioners of various specialties, including pediatric physicians and nephrologists, since this pathology is more likely in cases of nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis in children.

Dysfunction of the pelvic organs in children with myelodysplasia is a complex multifaceted problem. In some patients with long-term vesicoureteral reflux, as a complication of neurogenic bladder dysfunction, reflux nephropathy (RN) develops in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) outcome. One of the most effective as well as minimally invasive surgical interventions in this case is chemodenervation of the detrusor with botulinum toxin. This intervention in most cases not only improves the quality of life of patients, but also prevents further development of RN helping children to avoid traumatic augmentation surgery in the future. However, the duration of the chemodenervation effect is often insufficient. In the Authors’ opinion, synergistic conservative therapy aimed at improving regional blood circulation and correcting energy deficit is a must in order to improve the results. The result of the synergy of surgical and conservative treatment and their effectiveness are described in the presented clinical case observation.

Article represents a bibliographical review on the problem of standards for conducting urodynamic research methods. The need for urodynamic studies is quite high and is due to the high prevalence of urination disorders in children. At the same time, the Russia urodynamic laboratories count is low and they aren’t available in all Russia regions. Plus, the number of scientific publications on urodynamics and the pediatric neurology in general is clearly insufficient. Performance of urodynamic studies in adult patients is standardized by the ICS guidelines. At the same time not all of the guidelines are acceptable in children, it is therefore necessary to approach each clinical situation individually when choosing methods for urodynamic research. This review discusses methods of urodynamic studies, such as: uroflowmetry, uroflowmetry with simultaneous recording of pelvic floor electromyography, cystometry, pressure-flow study and urethral profilometry. A brief historical background is presented as well as the indications for the methods of urodynamic research, the research techniques and the peculiarities of the results interpretation. In addition, an example of a conclusion is shown when conducting a comprehensive urodynamic study in a pediatric patient. The article is aimed at standardizing the conduct, the interpretation of the results and the formulation of conclusions when conducting urodynamic studies in children.

Published: July 2023

Retanning of tanned leathers played an important role to raise the shrinkage temperature characteristic and quantum of retanning agents, where crosslinks are formed with the polypeptide chain of the collagen or other reactive available sites of the collagen. This study is useful for the tanners to determine the percentage of shrinkage by using different retannages. The results revealed that the maximum thermal stability (increase in shrinkage temperature 21-25%) has been found in the basic chromium sulphate retanned leather without destruction of physical properties. Beside this, other types of retannages i-e, mineral retanning, phenolic based retanning, formalin based syntan have been showed thermal stability upto different levels (increase in shrinkage temperature 4-6%,12-15%, 10- 14% respectively) in addition to the development of physical properties such as tensile strength (N/ mm2 ), tear strength (N/mm), fullness , etc. to suit different needs.

Published: July 2023

Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) membranes as cholesterol absorbers have been successfully synthesized. MIP membranes can absorb cholesterol molecules because they have cavite (pores) and active groups that are selective and sensitive to cholesterol molecules. MIP membranes are synthesized from butyl acrylate monomers, cross-linkers, ethylene glycol dimethacrilate (EGDMA), initiators of 2- 2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPP, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactants, and cholesterol as templates. MIP membranes are synthesized using photopolymerization irradiated with UV light. The results obtained in the form of powder solids can be characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results obtained by UV-Vis spectrophotometry showed that the MIP membrane prepared a standard curve with a linear regression equation y = 0.0054x-0.007 with a value of R2 = 0.9982. This suggests that MIP membranes are selective and sensitive to analytes. At optimum absorption of the MIP-cholesterol membrane can absorb cholesterol molecules in the amount of 0.020 grams of cholesterol composition within 20 minutes

This study aims to determine the adsorption capacity, study the kinetics and adsorption equilibrium of activated carbon/AC and composite carbon/AC-Cu(TAC) in the adsorption process of Fe metal. Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) were used as activated carbon and modified with MOFs Cu(TAC) composite. The concentration of Fe(II) ions adsorbed during the adsorption process was analyzed using AAS. The variations used to determine the optimum conditions for absorption of Fe(II) ions are the mass variation of the adsorbent, the variation of the adsorbate concentration and the contact time between the adsorbent and the adsorbate. Through variations in concentration, the adsorption isotherm characteristics were determined and through variations in contact time, the adsorption kinetics model was determined. The results of AC characterization showed a sharp absorption in the presence of OH, CH and CO groups which indicated the presence of cellulose. AC is amorphous and AC-Cu(TAC) is crystalline and the pore size is mesoporous. The optimum condition for AC is the mass variation of 1 g with an absorption capacity of 0.1816 mg/g, a variation of the concentration of 60 ppm with an absorption capacity of 3.49 mg/g and a contact time of 75 minutes with an absorption capacity of 3.82 mg/g. The optimum condition for ACCu(TAC) was the mass variation of 1 g with an absorption capacity of 0.7275 mg/g, a variation of the concentration of 180 ppm with an absorption capacity of 10.52 mg/g and a contact time of 15 minutes with an absorption capacity of 10.85 mg/g. AC-Cu(TAC) has a better adsorption ability in adsorbing Fe(II) ions. For AC and AC-Cu(TAC) the suitable adsorption isotherm is Freundlich isotherm and the suitable adsorption kinetics model is pseudo second order

Published: July 2023

Marital adjustment between couples with different and stigmatized religious backgrounds has rarely been studied. This study aims to explain the dynamics of marital adjustment for Ahmadiyya members who are of Ahmadi descent and married to individuals of non-Ahmadi descent using a multiple case study approach. This study conducted in-depth interviews with four couples from Indonesian Ahmadiyya Muslim Congregation, consisting of two husband and wife couples with husbands of Ahmadi descent, and two husband and wife couples of Ahmadi descent. Data were analyzed with a cross-case synthesis. Personality factors (socialization and achievement) that are followed by adaptation have shaped the marital adjustments of the four husbands and wives of Ahmadi descent in this study. Personality strengthens relational commitments which play an important role in marital adjustment. In active Ahmadi couples, personality factors strengthen the religious commitment of the spouses, but they also compromise their partner's shortcomings in religious matters. Personality factors also encourage them to continue to show tolerance and generosity towards extended families who have shown a stigmatizing attitude towards them as Ahmadis. This study implies the importance of considering personality factors that predict partner adjustment and not only religiosity or religious background in marriages among religious groups.

 

Penyesuaian perkawinan antara pasangan dengan latar belakang keagamaan berbeda dan terstigmatisasi jarang dipelajari. Studi ini bertujuan menjelaskan dinamika penyesuaian perkawinan anggota Jemaat Ahmadiyah keturunan Ahmadi yang menikah dengan individu bukan keturunan Ahmadi dengan pendekatan studi kasus majemuk. Studi ini melakukan wawancara mendalam kepada empat pasang suami-istri anggota Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) yang terdiri dari dua pasang suami-istri dengan suami keturunan Ahmadi, dan dua pasang suami-istri dengan istri keturunan Ahmadi. Data dianalisis dengan sintesis lintas kasus. Faktor kepribadian (socialization dan achievement) yang diikuti dengan adaptasi membentuk penyesuaian perkawinan pada keempat suami-istri lintas keturunan Ahmadi tersebut. Kepribadian memperkuat komitmen relasional yang berperan penting dalam penyesuaian perkawinan. Pada pasangan Ahmadi yang aktif, faktor kepribadian memperkuat komitmen religius suami-istri, namun mereka juga berkompromi dengan kekurangan pasangan mereka dalam hal keagamaan. Faktor kepribadian juga mendorong mereka tetap menunjukkan toleransi dan kemurahan hati terhadap keluarga besar yang pernah menunjukkan sikap stigmatik terhadap mereka sebagai Ahmadi. Studi ini mengimplikasikan pentingnya mempertimbangkan faktor kepribadian yang memprediksi penyesuaian pasangan dan bukan hanya religiusitas atau latar belakang keagamaan dalam perkawinan di kalangan kelompok keagamaan.

SINCE the horrific attacks in Christchurch in 2019 there has been substantial and growing attention paid to the extreme right in New Zealand. The pandemic—and the conspiracy theories and anti-government sentiment that developed in response—increased that scrutiny, and the sense of unease or alarm many felt about it.
Anti-vaccination conspiracy theories: Pacific Islands communities and the media
Authors: Cass Philip
Published: July 2023

This article is intended to provide an overview of the role of anti-vaccination conspiracy theories in Pacific Islands communities in New Zealand, setting it within the broader context of the Pacific and among Pasifika communities in Australia during the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of their key roles in Island communities and communicating information about COVID-19, it focuses on the role of churches, drawing a contrast between  evangelical/Pentecostal and mainstream religious bodies. Research findings suggest that much of the language used to oppose vaccination derived ultimately from the United States and that an inclination towards End Times eschatology was likely to have been key to the spread of conspiracy theories. However, the article also suggests that in spite of the presence of conspiracy theories and the media’s concentration on the controversial behaviour of Bishop Brian Tamaki, most mainstream Pacific churches were highly alert to the reality of the virus and supportive of their communities.
