JUAL BELI DENGAN NON-MUSLIM DALAM KONTEKS FIKIH MUAMALAH DAN NILAI KEMASLAHATAN
Authors: Saputra Andrian , Aji Purwanto Muhamad
Published: July 2023

Jual beli yang sebaiknya dilakukan dengan kejujuran, benar, dan, tidak melanggar syari’at agama Islam (Al - Qur’an & Sunnah). Agar mencapai itu semua jual beli yang dilakukan haruslah memenuhi syarat dan rukun jual beli serta ketentuan yang mengatur didalamnya. Dalam hal bermuamalah, Islam memakai prinsip yang telah dirumuskan sebelumnya, yaitu pada dasarnya segala macam jenis muamalah itu status dari kedudukannya itu mubah kecuali jika ada mengandung unsur paksaan. Transaksi juga diterapkan atas sesuatu yang mengandung manfaat sehingga menghindari mudhorot dalam praktek kehidupan. Agama Islam pada hal ini menganut kebebasan dalam melakukan transaksi kepada siapa saja termasuk kepada nonmuslim selagi tidak ada pihak yang saling dirugikan berdasarkan kesepakatan dalam melakukan transaksi jual beli. Oleh karena itu, analisis dari perspektif Islam mengenai melakukan transaksi jual beli kepada nonmuslim, Islam tidak melarang apalagi mengharamkan. Akan tetapi, Islam mengatur perkara itu semua dengan bertransaksi atas barang atau sesuatu yang halal bagi kita dan bukan kepada nonmuslim yang memusuhi agama kita. Maka selain dari itu, maka bertransaksi kepada nonmuslim dalam hal jual beli perbolehkan, hal itu semua merupakan bagian dari bermuamalah bagian dari kemanusiaan. Jual beli termasuk bagian dari muamalah karena Islam agama yang membawa keindahan bagi umat manusia untuk mencapai keharmonisan dalam menjalankan hidup dimuka bumi.

O papel do ensino religioso diante do crescimento da intolerância religiosa no Brasil
Authors: Castoldi Ariany de Souza Paula
Published: July 2023

Neste artigo, o principal objetivo é analisar o papel do Ensino Religioso diante do crescimento da intolerância religiosa. Sendo o Brasil país de maioria cristã e, sabendo-se que, em sala de aula, o professor pode acabar impondo pontos de vista próprios, a questão-problema indaga: como evitar que isso resulte em Ensino Religioso proselitista? Como hipótese, este artigo defende a ideia de que a solução se encontra na melhor formação de professores de Ensino Religioso, os quais devem se basear nas Ciências das Religiões, garantindo ensino não confessional. Entre as justificativas, tem-se a necessidade de adequar o Ensino Fundamental, colocando-o a serviço de uma sociedade democrática, livre de preconceito e que aceite a diversidade. Para tanto, torna-se imprescindível fazer com que o Ensino Religioso se mostre isento de proselitismo, integrando-se ao combate à intolerância religiosa –– especialmente no que tange às religiões de matriz africana. Sobre os procedimentos metodológicos, destacam-se as pesquisas de caráter bibliográfico e documental, por meio das quais buscou-se conhecer os principais conceitos e a linha filosófica predominante que norteiam a educação brasileira, bem como instrumentos legais que auxiliam no combate à intolerância religiosa no Brasil.

Objective: The objective of this ex-vivo study is to compare the mean working length (in terms of accurate length) with different intra-canal irrigant solutions in extracted teeth.
   Materials and Method: This experimental ex-vivo study was conducted in the Operative dentistry department at Rehman College of Dentistry Peshawar, from January 2019 to June 2019. Sample size was calculated using WHO sample size calculator V.2.0 (1.1) with 95 % confidence interval and 90 % power of study by using statistics of electronic WL of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) of 18.84+2.5313 and 19.33+2.50 for Chlorhexidine13. Non-probability sampling technique was used.  Sample size of 120 extracted single-rooted human permanent teeth were selected. The Actual  root canal lengths and electronic lengths were calculated in an ex-vivo model using alginate as a medium to replicate periodontal tissues in the presence of irrigants for each group. All readings were recorded in the Performa. Data was analysed using SPSS version 17 for descriptive statistics. One way ANOVA was used to compare the four groups for overall irrigant effect. For all comparisons, statiscal significance was considered at p<0.05.
   Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the means of actual length and electronic lengths as determined by one-way ANOVA (P=0.001). In terms of accuracy, 2% CHX was most accurate showing a difference of -0.18 between actual and electronic lengths as compared to 17% EDTA -0.47, 5.25% NaOCl -0.53 and normal saline -0.53.
Conclusion:
   It can be concluded that Root ZX can be safely used to determine WL within + 0.5mm of the actual length. Among irrigating solutions, Root ZX EAL gave best results with chlorhexidine gluconate.

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most common and the second leading cause of cancer death in men in most developed countries. Prostate biopsy remains the gold standard to confirm its diagnosis. Material and Method: This is a prospective study during 6 months, starting from 1st of February to 31st of July 2022. It included all patients who underwent a prostate biopsy that was carried out either following a high tPSA or due to an abnormal digital rectal examination. Results: We performed digitally guided biopsies in 32 patients from whom, average age was 72.43 years and elevation of total PSA was the main reason (71.88%) behind biopsies. The mean total PSA level was 45.69 ng/ml. The tissues removed were essentially prostate tissues, malignant in 28.12% of cases with adenocarcinoma as the only histological type. Conclusion: Prostate biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. When indicated in front of an abnormal digital rectal examination, the probabilities of positivity of the samples are high even in the case of digitally guided biopsies in an under-equipped environment.
CDA Formulations to Fulfill Cancer Moonshot and to Win the War on Cancer
Authors: Liau Ming C , Craig Christine L , Baker Linda L
Published: July 2023

The objective of this study is to call for approval of cell differentiation agent (CDA) formulations as the right cancer drugs to save cancer patients. Moonshot was a presidential project to set a classic record of success attributable to the right approach and war on cancer was another presidential project to set a classic record of failure attributable to the wrong approach. Cancer moonshot was brought up by President Biden to urge health profession to rely on right approaches to save cancer patients. Perpetual replication of cancer cells (CCs) is the most outstanding feature of cancer. Naturally, killing of replicating CCs becomes the top choice of cancer establishments to combat cancer. Killing of CCs is actually a wrong approach of cancer therapy, because cancer is caused by wound unhealing due to the collapse of chemo-surveillance, which is a natural mechanism to ensure perfection of wound healing. Killing of CCs by cytotoxic agents promotes cancer stem cells (CSCs) to proliferate in order to repair the damages created by cytotoxic agents, eventually pushing CSCs to reach a high proportion to become unresponsive to further treatments. Killing of CCs is a wrong approach that causes the failure of cancer solution. To save cancer patients, we have to drastically change past practices. Apparently, wound healing process is the right approach of cancer therapy. Induction of terminal differentiation of PSCs is the most critical mechanism of wound healing, which is achieved by differentiation inducers (DIs) and differentiation helper inducers (DHIs). CDA is a collective term of the preparations consisting of different proportions of DIs and DHIs. Therefore, CDA formulations are the best solution of cancer to fulfill cancer moonshot and to win the war on cancer. CDA formulations display the features as pro-wound healing that can eliminate both CSCs and CCs by inducing these cells to undergo terminal differentiation, and to restore the functionality of chemo-surveillance, which is the creation of the nature to prevent the buildup of cells with abnormal MEs. A perfect cancer drug must have the ability to eliminate both CSCs and CCs, and to restore the functionality of chemo-surveillance. CDA formulations fit the description as perfect cancer drugs to fulfill cancer moonshot and to win the war on cancer.
Are concepts a natural kind? On concept eliminativism
Authors: Löhr Guido
Published: July 2023

Concept eliminativists argue that we should eliminate the term ‘concept’ from our vocabulary in psychology because there is no single natural kind that is picked out by it. I argue that the most developed version of concept eliminativism by Edouard Machery depends on the assumption that concepts are defined as stable and context-independent bodies of information. It is this assumption that leads Machery to eliminativism and it is an assumption we have reason to reject. Another assumption that leads to the eliminativist conclusion and that we have reason to reject is that the type of content represented in long-term memory is the relevant property based on which we should individuate certain natural kinds in cognitive psychology. Finally, I argue that certain pieces of information are functionally integrated enough to meet the conditions for being a natural kind.
Study on In-Plane Initial Rotational Stiffness of Eccentric RHS Beam-Column Joints
Authors: Guo Xiaonong , Li Weixin , Xv Zeyu
Published: July 2023

The eccentric RHS (rectangular hollow sections) joint offers improved mechanical properties and better space utilization. Its use in frame structures has gained significant attention. Currently, the initial rotational stiffness of RHS joints, the simplified finite element analysis method of eccentric RHS joints, and the influence of the spatial effect of RHS joints are still unknown. The purpose of this research is to establish a calculation formula for the initial rotational stiffness of eccentric RHS joints, study the influence of the spatial effect under complex stress conditions, and propose a mathematical model that can be used to simplify the analysis of eccentric RHS joints. The research findings indicate that the web plate’s deformation stiffness primarily influences the joints’ initial rotational stiffness. This increases with a higher beam-to-column depth-to-width ratio, beam-to-column thickness ratio, and column width-to-thickness ratio. The form of the moment distribution in the joint changes, and begins to have a significant effect on the rotational stiffness when the beam-to-column flange width ratio reaches and exceeds 0.7. The stiffeners have a direct additive effect on the joint stiffness. The influence of adjacent beams on the joint is minimal, and the spatial effect of the joint can be disregarded. Furthermore, the finite element analysis confirmed the accuracy of the power function model in accurately simulating the static load behavior of the joint, particularly the bending moment–angle relationship.
Cross-National Active Learning in Global Development Studies: De-Colonizing the Curriculum
Authors: Parmentier Mary Jane
Published: July 2023

De-colonizing the curriculum and active learning approaches that engage students experientially are both current themes in the teaching of International Studies and related disciplines. For the discipline of global development, both are critically needed approaches to training students who are able to work across national contexts and effectively interact with communities of different political histories and cultures. Yet neither is necessarily straightforward. This article explores two pedagogical projects that, while very different from each other, reveal commonalities through a technique of systemist notation and visualization, strengthening their contribution to cross-cultural and cross-national active learning. While online international collaborations and study abroad programs are different pedagogical contexts, they both involve significant levels of intercultural communication and knowledge exchange, neither of which is a given and requires careful course design and implementation.

The Moral Dispute on Human Embryonic Research and The Beginning of Human Life
Authors: CHOI Kyung-Suk
Published: July 2023

The main moral dispute on human embryonic research lies in the status of embryo. Embryo means actually pre-embryo here. Proponents for the research argue that an pre-embryo is not an human being because it does not have any personality. But I argue that this argument is too weak to fall down because it must be applied to a new-born baby. But we consider a new-born baby as an human being.
A strong argument for the research is to claim that a human life begins at the formation of primitive streak because this streak indicates the establishment of an individual identity. Proponents for the research based on this argument claims that there is no person to hold any rights because there is no entity to establish any individual identity. They consider this argument to fall down the view that human life starts at the conception.
But I argue that the above argument only shows when an individual identity is established, rather than when an human life starts. The reasons are as follows. First, biological identity, that is, genetic identity as an human species is formed in zygote at the conception. Second, the potentiality to grown up into an adult is developed from the conception while the same genetic identity is kept. The reason we think that human life is respected lies in the potentiality. The numbers of individuals is not important in considering this potentiality. Therefore, despites discontinuity in individual identity we have to think that human life begins at zygote from which genetic identity and potentiality to build up an individual or individuals are continuously kept.
The same view can be applied to cloned human embryo through implanting the nuclear of a somatic cell. So, the research of cloned human embryo is not morally justified. The current Korean law to allow this research should be reconsidered.

Published: July 2023

Topology optimization is a mathematical strategy enhancing a system's performance by figuring out the best arrangement of materials for a certain set of loads, boundary conditions, and constraints. In basic terms, it builds a design space from a model (3D model). To make the design more efficient, it then eliminates or displaces material inside it. By defining cavities in continuous design domains, topology optimization is an excellent technique for generating lightweight, high-performance, and cost-effective structures. Like every other optimization problem, it needs some boundary conditions, constraints, an objective function, and criteria to attain optimality, which must be decided by the type of design we are making, material costs, mechanical performance, and resistance to failure. Since there are several iterations in the optimization rounds which allow us to play with variables within the boundary conditions to come up with an aesthetically pleasing, mechanically optimized design. We are in hope that the proper implementation of this would lead to the betterment of society.

Published: July 2023

Recent trends in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) use the time-of-flight (ToF) information in the image reconstruction process to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the positioning of the annihilation event. One of the components that most contributes to the accuracy of the ToF-PET is the scintillation crystal. The metascintillator approach has been proposed to overcome the time resolution limits of commonly used scintillators. The metascintillator is an engineered composition of small units that combines and optimizes several features in a single scintillator heterostructure. In this work, metascintillator-based brain PET systems were modeled using the GATE Monte Carlo toolkit and compared with designs based on bulk LYSO or BGO. Sensitivity, noise equivalent count rate and scatter fraction were evaluated following the NEMA guidelines. Only data in the list mode format was used for comparison purposes to avoid dependence on the image reconstruction algorithm. To achieve the same peak sensitivity of a system based on a 15 mm thick bulk BGO, the metascintillator-based scanners using BGO/BaF2 , BGO/EJ232, LYSO/BaF2 and LYSO/EJ232 must have thicknesses of 23.2 mm, 22.5 mm, 29.7 mm and 31.1 mm, respectively. The objective of this work is to determine the clinical value of using metascintillator-based detectors in brain PET.

Authors: SUPARTA I KETUT
Published: July 2023

Air raksa merupakan unsur logam yang sangat penting dalam teknologi abad modern. Air raksa adalah unsur yang mempunyai nomor atom (Na=80) mempunyai masa molekul relatif (MR=200,59), diberikan symbol kimia Hg berasal dari bahasa Yunani; Hidrargyricum yang berarti cairan perak. Dalam dunia pengetahuan modern Air raksa lebih dominan dipandang sebagai zat yang berbahaya dan mencemari lingkungan. Disisi lain sesungguhnya Air raksa juga memiliki manfaat yang banyak dalam kehidupan manusia salah satunya adalah untuk pembebasan (moksa) dalam ajaran agama Hindu. Untuk itulah penting dilaksanakan kajian tentang Air raksa dalam pandangan parawidya dan aparawidya berdasarkan pandangan dalam Agama Hindu. Kajian ini memberikan pandangan bahwa segala sesuatu ciptaan Tuhan terkandung dua hal yang berbeda (Rwa Bhinedha) sebagaimana pandangan Agama Hindu tentang hukum alam (Rta). Artikel ini merupakan artikel konseptual, proses penyusunan artikel disusun dengan memuat gagasan dan ide-ide maupun hasil riset yang dilakukan oleh orang lain, sehingga konsepnya adalah mengikuti data yang sudah ada.  Hasil pembahasan menunjukan bahwa Air raksa dalam kajian aparawidya memiliki manfaat dan bahaya di dalam kehidupan duniawi. Selanjutnya pada kajian parawidya dengan pandangan Siwa Raseswara yang telah mengkaji jauh sebelum pengetahuan modern menyatakan bahwa pemurnian air raksa secara spiritual sebagai dasar cara untuk pencapaian kebebasan (moksa). Relevansi air raksa dalam tataran aparawidya dengan parawidya menunjukan bahwa adanya pemahaman kesetaraan antara agama dan ilmu pengetahuan. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan air raksa sebagai zat atau unsur logam yang dibutuhkan dalam tubuh menuju badan abadi sebagai cara untuk pembebasan dan dengan memahami pengetahuan tentang Air Raksa dapat terbebas dari bencana kemanusiaan sebagaimana bahaya yang dapat ditimbulkan akibat kesalahan penggunaan Air raksa.

A amostra foi composta por 150 árbitros, 72 do sexo masculino e 78 do sexo feminino, com tempo mínimo de experiência de um ano no quadro oficial de suas federações, sendo 34 de nível estadual, 66 nacional e 50 internacional. Como instrumentos foram utilizados: ficha de identificação, Escala de Autoeficácia Geral Percebida (EAEGP) e Escala Multidimensional de Perfeccionismo. Os dados foram coletados durante competições do calendário oficial da Confederação Brasileira de Desportos Aquáticos nos anos de 2011 e 2012. Na análise estatística utilizou-se os testes de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney, Kruskall-Wallis, Friedman e coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, com p<0,05. Observou-se que a característica de organização obteve o maior escore entre as características de perfeccionismo, as árbitras demonstraram mais preocupação com os erros, dúvidas na ação e maior perfeccionismo negativo quando comparadas aos árbitros, além disso, os árbitros de nível estadual evidenciaram maiores níveis de expectativas parentais, realização pessoal e perfeccionismo positivo do que de nível nacional. Conclui-se que árbitros de natação demonstraram altos níveis de autoeficácia e organização; árbitras têm maiores escores em preocupações com os erros, dúvidas na ação e perfeccionismo negativo; não existe correlação entre perfeccionismo e autoeficácia em árbitros de natação do Brasil.

The work discusses the research of antimicrobial properties of fabrics treated by compositions based on poly-2-perfluoropentoxytetrafluoropropyl acrylate, which imparts hydro-, oleophobicity to the fabric. To impart flame retardant properties to the material, a fire retardant agent (ammonium polyphosphate / Flamatic DM-3088) was added to its composition, and for antimicrobial properties polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (methacid) was added. Culture inoculation to determine the effectiveness of biocidal finishing was carried out by the agar diffusion method, Bacillus subtilis was chosen as the test object. As a result of the study, it was found that treatment of the fibrous material with a metacide both separately and as part of a composition inhibits the growth of microorganisms.

Wasserstoff-Freisetzungen aus Ausbläsern/Hydrogen releases from exhausts
Authors: Schalau Sebastian , Schalau Bernd
Published: July 2023

Mit zunehmender Produktion und Einsatz von Wasserstoff kommt immer mehr die Frage auf, inwieweit etablierte Freistrahlmodelle geeignet sind die Freisetzung von Wasserstoff aus Ausbläsern ausreichend genau zu berechnen, um darauf aufbauend Aussagen zum Explosionsschutz treffen zu können. Ein Vergleich mit experimentellen Untersuchungen zeigt, dass die Berechnungen von Modellen, die z. B. für Erdgas geeignete sind, für sehr leichte Gase größere Abweichungen ergeben können. Es sind daher Modifikationen für das Integralmodell von Schatzmann und das empirische Modell von Chen/Rodi entwickelt und mit experimentellen Untersuchungen verglichen worden. Bei einer verzögerten Zündung der Wasserstoff-Gaswolke sind bei experimentellen Untersuchungen relevante Explosionsüberdrücke gemessen worden, die bei einer Gefährdungsbeurteilung berücksichtigt werden sollten. Hierfür ist ein Berechnungsansatz in Verbindung mit dem Multi-Energy-Modell entwickelt worden.

Tooth decay is the gradual breakdown of tooth components, resulting from the loss of hydroxyapatite crystals as part of aging. Mutans Streptococci is one of the species most associated with tooth decay. The samples were isolated and cultured following standard procedures, and the results showed that Streptococcus mutans was indeed the most isolated bacteria, accounting for 47 (85.5%) cases in people with tooth decay. Small soft blue colonies of S. mutans bacteria appeared due to their absence in several individuals which may be attributed to their small numbers. Lactobacilli were also isolated in 8 (14.55%) cases. Antibiotic sensitivity tests against S. mutans showed that this bacterium was sensitive to azithromycin antibiotic and resistant multi-antibiotic tetracycline, as well as amoxicillin, tobramycin, and ciprofloxacin along with chloramphenicol, ampicillin and lincomycin. The objective of this study is to isolate and identify bacteria that cause tooth decay, and determine which antibiotics effectively inhibit them.

Summary. Aim. To study the condition of the phagocytic part of immunity in cholangitis. One of the main ways of elimination of bacterial contamination of the body is the work of the immune system, namely phagocytosis. This especially applies to acute and chronic cholangitis.

Materials and methods. Depending on the magnitude of pathological changes in the biliary system, we have identified three groups of patients in whom cholangitis occurs in conditions that progress and worsen. Group I – cholangitis in conditions of choledocholithiasis, group II – cholangitis in conditions of iatrogenic strictures of the main bile ducts, and group III – cholangitis in conditions of already performed reconstruction of the duct system. The functional activity of phagocytic cells was studied.

Results and their discussion. It was established that the functional capabilities of neutrophils are depleted in proportion to the severity of cholangitis and its duration. In case of chronic undulating cholangitis, there is an insufficiency of the phagocytic link, phagocytes work on the verge of exhausting their reserve capabilities. Adhesion forces and the potential of intracellular lysosomal enzymes are especially affected.

Conclusions. The functional capacity of phagocytic cells in cholangitis is characterized by a deficiency, the degree of virulence is to lie down in the severity of inflammation and thrive. The greatest manifestations of changes were revealed in acid-independent mechanisms of phagocytosis, which were characterized by impaired adhesion and the release of intracellular lysosomal enzymes.
