Anemia is the most common pathological condition in hematology. There are more than 400 types of anemia, can be divided into three main types: anemia caused by blood loss as in people with ulcers and hemorrhoids, during menstruation, at birth and anemia caused by dysfunction in the production of erythrocytes that occurs due to red blood cell damage this is called hemolytic anemia, and iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia at all. Through the results obtained from the Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital in the holy province of Karbala for the year 2018, found 152 cases, of which cases were males by (60.53%) and (60) cases were females by (39.47%). Thus, the incidence of females is lower than that of males. The number and percentage of anemia for each age group shows that the highest age group is (21-30 years) with (43) and (28.3%). The lowest age group was (+60) with (8) and (5.27%), the number of males infected (6) by (3.94%) and the number of females (2) by (1.31%). Types of anemia recorded in the research were hereditary and non- hereditary (other types)—hereditary number (14) by (9.21%). Types of hereditary anemia recorded were Thalassemia and Sickle by number and percentage respectively (9) and (5) by (5.92%) and (3.28%), The number and percentage of males and females of the two species, respectively, males (4) and (2) by (2.63%) and (1.31%), females with (5) and (3) by (3.28%) and (1.98%), The rate of hereditary anemia in males is higher than in females. Non-hereditary anemia was (138) by (90.79%), which is higher than hereditary anemia. The types of non-hereditary anemia recorded are six types (nutritional, hemorrhagic, inflammatory, tumor, immune and renal failure). In the residential sectors, the highest incidence was recorded in the center sector (90), (59.22%), while the lowest incidence rate was in the AL-huor sector (10), (6.57%).

Authors: Dhamdhere Rupali B. , Vijayalakshmi A.
Published: January 2021

Quality by Design (QbD) refers to the achievement of certain predictable quality with a predetermined and desired specification. The current studies details QbD enable the development of a simple, rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the estimation of rosuvastatin calcium. The factor screening studies were performed using a 3-factor 12-trials 2-level factorial design. System thematic optimization was performed employing split-plot design by selecting the mobile phase ratio, buffer pH, and column type as the critical method parameter (CMPs) identified from screening studies, thus, evaluating a critical quality attribute (CQA), viz., retention time, peak tailing, and theoretical plate as per the parameter of the method robustness. The optimal chromatographic separation was achieved using acetonitrile and water 75:25 v/v as the mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 mL/min by using a PDA detector at 246 nm. The method was validated as per the ICH recommended conditions, which ensure a high degree of linearity, accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and robustness over the exiting liquid chromatography methods of the drug. Moreover, the lower solvent consumption along with the short analytical run time of 10 minutes leads to a cost-effective and environment-friendly chromatographic procedure. Thus, the proposed method reviled that rapid and represented a good procedure for rosuvastatin calcium.

Методом оптической спектроскопии (УФ, видимая и ИК области спектра) исследованы две суспензии: вазелиновое масло (ВМ) наполненное слюдой и BaSO различной концентрации. Разработанный метод основан на анализе рассеивающей компоненты электромагнитного излучения, проходящего через образец, позволяющий определить средний размер и распределение рассеивающих частиц по размерам. Установлено, что с увеличением концентрации наполнителя частицы агрегируют, вследствие чего средний размер частиц увеличивается. Результаты, полученные спектроскопическим методом, хорошо согласуются с данными оптической микроскопии.

Two suspensions were studied by optical spectroscopy (UV, visible, and IR): vaseline oil (VM) filled with mica and BaSO of different concentrations. The developed method is based on the analysis of the scattering component of electromagnetic radiation passing through the sample, which makes it possible to determine the average size and size distribution of scattering particles. It was found that with increasing filler concentration, the particles aggregate, resulting in an increase in the average particle size. The results obtained by the spectroscopic method are in good agreement with the optical microscopy data.

The Adultification of the Youth Justice System: The Victorian Experience
Authors: Antolak-Saper Natalia
Published: January 2021

In early 2018, an Inquiry into Youth Justice Centres in Victoria (Inquiry) found that a combination of a punitive approach to youth justice, inadequate crime strategies, and a lack of appropriately trained and experienced staff at youth justice centres, greatly contributed to the hindrance of the rehabilitation of young persons in detention in Victoria, Australia. In addition to identifying these challenges, the Inquiry also determined that the way in which young offenders have been described by politicians and portrayed in the media in recent times, has had a significant impact on shaping youth justice policies and practices. This article specifically examines the role of the media in the adultification of the Victorian youth justice system. It begins with a historical examination of youth justice, drawing on the welfare model and the justice model.  This is followed by a discussion of the perception and reality of youth offending in Victoria. Here, it is demonstrated that through framing, the media represents heightened levels of youth offending and suggests that only a ‘tough on crime’ approach can curb such offending; an approach that has been adopted by the Victorian State Government in recent years. Finally, the article considers how recent youth justice reforms are examples of adultification, and by not adequately distinguishing between a child and adult offender, these reforms are inconsistent with the best interests of the child.

Authors: Nedbailo O.M. , Chernyshyn O.G.
Published: January 2021

The article summarizes and analyzes the technological characteristics of various clay raw materials. Recommendations on the feasibility of their use in various types of ceramic production are given. Their main characteristics are given, such as chemical composition, mineralogical and physical properties, which vary within extremely wide limits. They are most characterized by a layered structure. All clay minerals are considered as secondary geological formations that arose in deposits in which water was present as a product of changes in aluminosilicate rocks. Most clay minerals are the product of weathering and deposition, but they can also be formed in hydrothermal conditions.
In addition to basic clay minerals, clays also contain various amounts of other minerals that often affect their behavior when used. The most common such minerals are quartz, feldspar and minerals containing iron, lime, alkalis and soluble salts. The organic component is also found in many clay deposits. Different classifications of clays are based on their geology, mineralogy, composition, properties and uses, but none of them covers all possible diversity.

English writing anxiety and preservice teacher's written corrective feedback
Authors: Xie Qin , Yuan Junting
Published: January 2021

This study investigated the English writing anxiety experienced by preservice English as second/foreign language teachers in Hong Kong, and its impact on their written corrective feedback (WCF). A total of 34 highly proficient preservice teachers responded to the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (Cheng, 2004), which measured writing anxiety in three dimensions (i.e., cognitive, somatic and avoidance anxiety). Ten were selected to provide WCF to a sample student writing and receive an individual interview immediately afterwards. Over half of the 34 participants were found suffering from moderate or high levels of writing anxiety, especially in the cognitive dimension. Compared to their less apprehensive peers who adopted more indirect feedback, highly anxious student teachers had a clear preference to direct and comprehensive feedback. Their WCF practices were found affected by five factors, including their conception of English writing, concerns of teacher professional credibility and work ethics, concerns of student cognition and motivation, confidence in students’ ability, and their feedback experience as students and student teacher during teaching practicum. These factors were synthesized into a grounded-theory model of four internal forces that drive student teachers towards either a focus-on-form, direct, comprehensive approach to WCF or a broad-based, indirect and selective approach. Suggestions were made for further research.

Pencegahan Tindak Kekerasan Terhadap Perempuan Perspektif Al-Qur’an
Authors: Dwijayanti Febri
Published: January 2021

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh realitas yang memprihatinkan, yaitu banyaknya perempuan yang menjadi korban dalam tindak kekerasan rumah tangga. Tindakan tersebut terjadi karena seorang suami merasa bahwa dirinya berhak melakukan apapun terhadap istrinya. Perbedaan yang terjadi antara perempuan dan laki-laki bukanlah tindakan dari diskriminasi. Perbedaan tersebut tidak digunakan untuk meninggikan ataupun merendahkan salah satu makhluk. Salah satu faktor yang memicu tindakan kekerasan tersebut berkaitan dengan bagaimana cara suami dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan. Sedangkan sebagai perempuan kebanyakan mereka menerima segala perlakuan dengan pasrah dan mengalah. Oleh karena itu penulis termotivasi untuk mengkaji tentang tafsiran beberapa ayat yang berkaitan dengan kekerasan terhadap perempuan agar dari penafsiran tersebut dapat ditemukan pencegahannya. Pendekatan penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi maka, sumber data yang digunakan dalam penulisan skripsi ini adalah fenomena yang terjadi dalam kehidupan rumah tangga  dengan menggunakan penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Sedangkan metodologi yang digunakan adalah metode tematik dengan membahas beberapa ayat sesuai dengan tema yang ada di dalam al-Qur’an. Hasilnya penulis menemukan pencegahan dapat dilakukan pada masa awal perkawinan dengan memberikan wejangan dari pihak orang tua serta bagi kedua belah pasangan harus memahami sifat dan kepribadian masing-masing. Kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dapat diatasi pada masa awal sebelum perkawinan. Suami harus memiliki pemikiran yang positif bahwasanya istri adalah titipan Tuhan yang harus yang harus diberikan rasa tanggung jawab, diperlakukan dengan baik seperti dalam awal surah An-Nisa ayat 34 bahwasanya laki-laki adalah pemimpin keluarga. Serta dalam kehidupan rumah tangga harus senantiasa menumbuhkan rasa cinta dan kasih sayang seperti dalam surah Ar-Rum ayat 21.
SEGMENTASI TERM SUNNAH DI INDONESIA
Authors: Nasrullah Sanip
Published: January 2021

Term sunnah adalah salah satu kata yang sangat familiar di kalangan umat Islam, khususnya di Indonesia. Sunnah adalah kata yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan suatu perbuatan atau amalan yang disandarkan langsung kepada Nabi Saw. dari segi perkataan, perbuatan, dan persetujuan (taqrir). Di Indonesia pada beberapa oknum atau kalangan tertentu, term sunnah digunakan bukan untuk menunjukkan suatu amalan atau perbuatan yang disandarkan kepada Nabi sebagaimana yang telah disebutkan, akan tetapi term sunnah tersebut digunakan sebagai kata yang dilekatkan pada penamaan sebuah objek tertentu. Dengan menggunakan survey literature, artikel ini mencoba untuk mengkaji makna sunnah yang sebenarnya menurut para ulama, juga untuk meneliti beberapa objek yang menggunakan kata sunnah dalam penamaannya. Data yang didapat melalui penelusuran naskah dari berbagai sumber tentang penamaan dengan memakai kata sunnah ini akan dikaji ulang untuk kemudian dikomparasikan dengan makna sunnah yang sesungguhnya. Hasilnya, Merupakan suatu kesalahan apabila kata sunnah digunakan untuk penamaan suatu objek, sebagaimana yang terjadi di Indonesia yang jelas-jelas tidak pernah terjadi di zaman Rasulullah; baik yang secara langsung dilakukan oleh beliau, Sahabat maupun Tabi’in. Hal ini akan memunculkan asumsi bahwa suatu objek seperti para Ustadz, toko, komunitas, radio, tv, dan objek-objek lainnya yang tidak menggunakan kata sunnah dalam penamaannya akan dianggap bid’ah. Hal ini akan berdampak pada bingungnya ummat dan konsekuensinya adalah ummat akan menjauh serta akan muncul sikap meremehkan dan saling menyalahkan dan akan menimbulkan perpecahan. Jika-pun memang harus memakai kata sunnah untuk nama suatu objek, maka hal itu harus diakui hanya sebatas label saja dan bukan untuk menunjuk pada makna dari kata sunnah yang sebenarnya.

الكتابة بجميع أنواعها تحتاج إلى مهارة معينة ينبغي أن يعرفها الكاتب ليمرس عليها حتى يتمكن من الكتابة بطريقة سليمة، والمهارات منها مايتعلق بالقواعد النحوية أو الصرفية، ومنها مايتعلق بالقواعد الإملائية والخطية ومنها مايتعلق بااحركات الجسمية وسنذكر بعض هذه المهارات مجملة كي يهتدي بها الكاتب في كتاباته. ومن أهمها: الوضوح والتجديد والسلاسة في الفكرة التي يريد الكاتب أن ينقلها إلى القارىء، مع ترابط الأتكار وتسلسلها، وعدم التعقيد فيها، عدم تكرار الكلهات أو الجمل بصورة متقاربة، والبعد عن العامية، تماسك العبارات وعدم تقككها، خلو الأسلوب من الأخطاء النحوية والصرفية، والأخطاء الإملائية، مع وضوح الخط، واستخدام علامات الترقيم التي تخدم المعنى مثل: علامات الاستفهام والتعجب، وعلامات التنصسص، والأقواس، مراعاة التناسق في الكتابة، فلاتميل الخطوط إلى أعلى أوإلى أسفل، ولاتختلف الحروف أو الكلمات صغرا وكبرا،و مراعاة الجلسة الصحيحة في أثناء الكتابة، والإمساك بالقلم بطريقة سليمة، لأن هذا يؤثر على الفكرة والكتابة، فالجاسة غير المريحة تجعل الكاتب لايركزفي الفكرة، وكذلك الإمساك بالقلم قد يجعل الخط مسوها على أنه لايخفى علينا أ، هناك مهارات خاصة بكل نوع من أنواع الكتابة، وبكل مجال من مجالاتها، فهناك مهارات خاصة بكتابة الرسائل، وأخرى خاصة بكتابة التلخيص، وثالثة خاصة بالتقارير. وهكذا، وقد أشرنا إلى هذه المهارات عند ذكر هذه المجالات وغيرها.
