Published: June 2020

Background:

The technological evolution has given the opportunities to develop new models of education, like online teaching. However, Internet Problematic Use and Internet Addiction are becoming frequently represented among adolescents with a prevalence that varies worldwide from 2% to 20% of the high school population.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to analyse the risk of Internet Addiction in a High Schools student sample comparing two different types of schools (online and traditional teaching) and analyzing the associations between pathological use of Internet and socio-demographic factors connected to the different educational orientations and to the daily usage of Internet.

Methods:

Students were enrolled from four different orientation school programs (different high school, technical and economical Institute, vocational schools). Each student completed a self-reported test to collect socio-demographic data and th Internet Addiction Test (IAT) from K. Young to assess the risk of Internet Addiction. The Mann-Whitney test for quantitative variables was used for statistical analysis.

Results:

522 students were enrolled, 243 students from online teaching and 279 from traditional teaching schools. Internet Addiction was observed in 1,16% of the total sample, while 53.83% of subjects was at risk of development Internet Addiction. No significant difference was found between the two different types of teaching, nor considering gender. Considering the amount of time spent on the web in portion of the sample at risk of developing Internet Addiction, the Traditional Teaching group spent between 4 and 7 hours a day on the Web, while the Online Teaching group between 1 to 3 hours/daily. However, no statistically significant difference was found.

Conclusion:

Although our data demonstrate that there is no clear association between online education and problematic use of Internet, the excessive use of Internet is linked to a massive waste of personal energy in terms of time and social life.

Published: June 2020

Background

In the era of information explosion, the use of the internet to assist with clinical practice and diagnosis has become a cutting-edge area of research. The application of medical informatics allows patients to be aware of their clinical conditions, which may contribute toward the prevention of several chronic diseases and disorders.

Objective

In this study, we applied machine learning techniques to construct a medical database system from electronic medical records (EMRs) of subjects who have undergone health examination. This system aims to provide online self-health evaluation to clinicians and patients worldwide, enabling personalized health and preventive health.

Methods

We built a medical database system based on the literature, and data preprocessing and cleaning were performed for the database. We utilized both supervised and unsupervised machine learning technology to analyze the EMR data to establish prediction models. The models with EMR databases were then applied to the internet platform.

Results

The validation data were used to validate the online diagnosis prediction system. The accuracy of the prediction model for metabolic syndrome reached 91%, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.904 in this system. For chronic kidney disease, the prediction accuracy of the model reached 94.7%, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.982. In addition, the system also provided disease diagnosis visualization via clustering, allowing users to check their outcome compared with those in the medical database, enabling increased awareness for a healthier lifestyle.

Conclusions

Our web-based health care machine learning system allowed users to access online diagnosis predictions and provided a health examination report. Users could understand and review their health status accordingly. In the future, we aim to connect hospitals worldwide with our platform, so that health care practitioners can make diagnoses or provide patient education to remote patients. This platform can increase the value of preventive medicine and telemedicine.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore the risk factors that contribute in susceptibility and severity of COVID 19 infection among pregnant women.

METHODS

A systematic search of articles relating to COVID 19 infection during pregnancy, was conducted, using PubMed, Scopus and Google scholar engine.

RESULTS

A total of 168 articles were initially identified. Seventy-seven papers were excluded for failing to address the aim of the study. After screening titles and abstracts, ninety-one full-text articles were retrieved for eligibility analysis. Seventeen studies addressed the susceptibility related to pregnancy, twenty-two studies evaluated the associated comorbidities, nineteen focused on immune system, thirty-five articles concentrated on the risk of coagulopathy and eleven addressed more than one risk factor.

CONCLUSIONS

Pregnancy, associated comorbidities, modulated immune response during pregnancy and risk of coagulopathy are considerable risk factors contributing in COVID 19 pathogenesis among pregnant women and may predict the outcome.
The Notwithstanding Clause and the New Populism
Authors: Mailey Richard
Published: June 2020

The following article asks whether the notwithstanding clause contained in Canada’s Constitution Act, 1982 [Constitution Act]1 remains defensible where populists are in power. It ultimately dismisses two conventional justifications of the clause — one based on a principle of interinstitutional dialogue, one based on a majoritarian principle of legislative supremacy — before briefly considering possible amendments to the clause that may render it justifiable in a populist context (or more generally, where the political convention against using section 33 substantially weakens).
Nothing to Declare: A Response to Grégoire Webber, Eric Mendelsohn, Robert Leckey, and Léonid Sirota on the Effects of the Notwithstanding Clause
Authors: Maxime St-Hilaire and Xavier Foccroulle Ménard
Published: June 2020

In the wake of the legal challenge to Quebec’s law on state secularism,1 Professor Grégoire Webber, lawyer Éric Mendelsohn, and Dean Robert Leckey jointly published a post. In that post, they argue that the invocation of the "notwithstanding clause" in section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not preclude a court from making a declaration of "consistency." By such a declaration, a Court would declare the mere "inconsistency," not the invalidity or inoperability, of legislative provisions for which section 33 had been invoked with the constitutional rights from which they validly derogate.2 Their arguments ought to be reviewed and assessed, as they constitute creative but ultimately erroneous development in legal thought on section 33 in Canadian law.

Influencia de la economía norteamericana en las exportaciones y crecimiento económico en México.
Authors: Cedillo Martínez Marly , Martínez Damián Miguel Ãngel
Published: June 2020

Una de las transformaciones más notables de la economía mexicana surgió con la firma del Tratado de Libre Comercio con América del Norte (TLCAN), el cual buscaba impulsar las exportaciones para promover el crecimiento de la economía interna y sus sectores productivos. A casi 20 años de su implementación, aun no existe evidencia contundente que confirme esta premisa, por lo que el trabajo que se presenta trata de examinar si el comportamiento de las exportaciones enviadas a Estados Unidos influye en el crecimiento económico en México y si dicho comportamiento está ligado a perturbaciones aleatorias de la economía estadounidense. Para ello se utilizó la metodología de descomposición de componentes no observables de series de tiempo y, particularmente, la aplicación del Filtro de Hodrick-Prescott. Los resultados muestran que las exportaciones están relacionadas con el PIB mexicano y, por lo tanto, el impacto que generan es significativo. Respecto al patrón de comportamiento de las exportaciones, este permanece casi inalterable ante cambios de la economía estadounidense

Authors: Cadet Díaz Sheila , Guerrero Escobar Santiago
Published: June 2020

En este artículo se hace una descripción de la evolución de los rendimientos de la producción de maíz en México. Se compara con la evolución de los rendimientos en otros países productores y se derivan los principales factores que determinan los rendimientos de maíz, a través de un análisis econométrico. Dicho análisis se realiza con datos del Censo Agropecuario 2007 a nivel de municipio de las unidades económicas que reportaron producir maíz y consiste en una estimación lineal con datos de sección cruzada de los rendimientos de las unidades económicas como función de variables tecnológicas, crediticias, socioeconómicas, geográficas y climáticas, controlando por dummies de ciclo productivo y entidad federativa. Los resultados apuntan a que el uso de semillas mejoradas, insecticidas, el acceso al crédito y el riego son las variables que tienen una mayor correlación con los rendimientos de la producción de maíz en México.

Published: June 2020

O objetivo principal do estudo foi analisar a importância dos atributos marca, qualidade e preço no processo de decisão de compra dos consumidores de medicamentos genéricos, similares e de referência na cidade de São Paulo e nos municípios da região metropolitana. Definiu-se para a coleta de dados o método de pesquisa quantitativo do tipo survey, via plataforma online, com amostragem não probabilística por conveniência. Os resultados indicam que a maioria dos respondentes da pesquisa têm conhecimento da diferença entre esses medicamentos. Quanto as motivações que levam a preferência por esses tipos de medicamentos, preço, qualidade e confiança são os principais motivadores para a compra de medicamentos genéricos e similares, e qualidade, confiança e recomendação médica para os medicamentos de referência. Analisadas as motivações quando os respondentes realizam a compra para outra pessoa (shopper), padrão similar foi observado nas motivações na compra desses medicamentos. Em paralelo, a influência de profissionais da saúde na decisão de compra dos consumidores, quanto à recomendação médica ou à recomendação do balconista da farmácia, também se mostrou expressiva, resultados esses semelhantes aos obtidos em outros estudos relacionados ao tema deste trabalho.
O ETARISMO NO LOCAL DE TRABALHO: EVIDÊNCIAS DE PRÁTICAS DE “SANEAMENTO” DE TRABALHADORES MAIS VELHOS
Authors: Hanashiro Darcy Mitiko Mori , Winandy Martins Pereira Marie Françoise Marguerite
Published: June 2020

O Brasil assiste a uma mudança relevante na sua estrutura demográfica, resultando no envelhecimento populacional. Este fenômeno suscita nas organizações o desafio de reter e contratar pessoas mais velhas. Apesar de serem potenciais vítimas de discriminação etária, esses trabalhadores são pouco estudados. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é compreender como o etarismo (ageism) se manifesta antes e depois do desligamento do último emprego, na ótica de gerentes desempregados. A pesquisa adota uma abordagem qualitativa baseada em 18 entrevistas face a face com gerentes acima de 45 anos. A análise dos dados foi apoiada nos passos descritos pot Creswell (2014).  Os resultados revelaram o corte de trabalhadores mais velhos como uma estratégia de “saneamento etário” na organização. Um prenúncio da demissão baseado em evidências sobre normas de idade, as consequências e justificativas sobre o corte são explicitadas na análise dos dados. Os resultados contribuem para um avanço na literatura, revelando como ocorre uma estratégia de renovação demográfica nas organizações sob o manto do corte, tomado como inevitável pelas organizações para sua sustentabilidade econômica.

Compreender a associação da qualidade dos serviços prestados com indicadores de valoração e de desempenho podem auxiliar no desenvolvimento de ações que maximizem a eficiência da organização, reconhecendo assim o papel de elementos não quantitativos no escopo organizacional. Assim este estudo tem por objetivo verificar a associação entre Índice ANEEL de Satisfação do Consumidor, os indicadores de valoração e de desempenho de companhias distribuidoras de energia elétrica listadas na Brasil Bolsa Balcão [B]³. A amostra consistiu de 16 empresas distribuidoras de energia elétrica. Os dados referentes ao  Índice ANEEL de Satisfação do Consumidor e valoração e desempenho das organizações foram obtidos por meio de fontes secundárias. A análise da correlação de Spearman indica que há associação positiva e significante entre o fator do IASC e o fator de desempenho. Outro resultado da pesquisa é que não há associação significante entre a qualidade dos serviços prestados e a valoração de mercado das distribuidoras de energia elétrica. Assim, os indicadores de qualidade podem traduzir a eficiência da organização em aproveitar seus recursos na prestação de serviços ao cliente, que por sua vez, se associaria ao desempenho financeiro. Por fim, ilustra-se que há  a correlação positiva e significante entre fator de desempenho e fator de valoração. Esta investigação, contribui para o campo de pesquisa, à medida que reconhece a necessidade de integração de variáveis não quantitativas e quantitativas para o desenvolvimento das organizações, em especial setores que recebem o intervencionismo do Estado de modo direto no que incumbe fomento, regulação e fiscalização.

Published: June 2020

Background and Objectives: The growing prevalence of obesity in the United States and globally highlights the need for innovative strategies to provide obesity treatment in primary care settings. This report describes and evaluates the Weight Management Program (WMP), an interprofessional program in an academic family medicine clinic delivering intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) following evidenced-based guidelines.
Methods: We extracted WMP participant health data from the electronic health record and evaluated retrospectively. Eligible participants completed at least four WMP visits and had a baseline weight, blood pressure, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) recorded within 1 year prior to their first visit. Paired t tests were used to assess changes in, weight, HbA1c and systolic and diastolic blood pressures from baseline.
Results: WMP counseled 673 patients over 3,895 visits from September 2015 to June 2019. Of these, 186 met eligibility criteria (at least four visits), with a median of eight visits (mean=11.3, SD=8.1). Participants saw an average weight decrease during program participation of 9.7 lbs (P<.001), an average decrease in HbA1c of 0.2 points (P=.004), and an average blood pressure reduction of 2.8 mmHg systolic (P=.002) and 1.9 mmHg diastolic (P=.03). One-third of participants (n=60) achieved clinically significant weight loss (>5%) at 18 months. The program has become financially sustainable through billing for preventive counseling services and a $125 out-of-pocket enrollment fee.
Conclusions: WMP provides one model for primary care practices to develop a financially sustainable and evidence-based behavioral therapy weight management program for their patients with obesity. Future work will include assessment of longer-term program benefits, quality metrics, and health care costs.

Authors: Hasan Ejaz-Ul , Khan Ahmad , Habib Sajida , Sadaqat Hafeez , Basra Shahzad
Published: June 2020

Seventy diverse genotypes were evaluated for drought stress for morphological
(shoot and root length, fresh and dry shoot weight, fresh and dry root
weight) and physiological traits (stomatal conductance, photosynthesis and
transpiration rate) to increase the area under arid and semi-arid climatic
condition to overcome the deficiency of edible oil. All genotypes varied
significantly for all evaluated traits. High variability for photosynthesis
rate and lower for transpiration rate but highly significant. Genotypic
variance and its coefficient are almost higher for all characters then
environmental variance and its coefficient. Additive gene action was found
for stomatal conductance and fresh root weight, good characters for
selection having high heritability with increased genetic advance used to
find out drought tolerating genotypes. Genotypes ORI 29 and ORI 30 performed
better in normal and drought stress condition can be used further breeding
programme as a drought tolerant material. In PCA, genotypes ORI 30, ORI 27,
ORI 38 and ORI 105 expressed maximum diversity can be used in further hybrid
programme.

Published: June 2020

The autochthonous local genotypes of sweet cherries, which represent a very
important genetic potential for future breeding programs. Understanding of
the molecular basis biodiversity is one of the most important factors for
the proper conservation, management and use of plant genetic resources.
This paper investigate the genetic variability of 14 genotypes of sweet
cherries using 26 SSR markers. The study included eight autochthonous
genotypes of sweet cherry taken from four different location and six
virus-free reference varieties of sweet cherry. The average genetic distance
between them was 0.43. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to
eight. The minimum number of two alleles of polymorphic loci showed EMPa003
and EMPa002, while the highest number of eight loci alleles had PceGA34 and
UDP97-402. Results of genetic analysis that were done show that between
autochthonous genotypes of sweet cherries ?Biljur-Bjelica?, ?Barevka? and
?Aslamka? (Kriskovci) there was no difference, it is to have the same
genetic profil, which indicates that is the synonym, it is the same identity
group. Also the autochthonous genotype ?Crveni Hrust? and ?Nordwunder?
cultivar had the same SSR profile on microsatellite loci tested. The
remaining autochthonous genotypes of sweet cherry had a unique genetic
profile.
Association between secretor status and Lewis phenotype with seronegative spondyloarthritis as indicator of autoimmunity
Authors: Busarcevic Ivan , Vojvodic Svetlana , Vojvodic Una
Published: June 2020

The classical paradigm of autoimmune pathogenesis involving specific genetic
makeup and exposure to environmental triggers has been challenged recently
by the addition of a third element, the loss of intestinal barrier function.
Regardless of HLA B27 phenotype or gastrointestinal symptoms, evidence of
ileitis, ileocolitis or colitis exists in patients with spondyloarthropathy.
The FUT2 secretory gene is a strong candidate for Crohn's susceptibility by
shaping the functional states of mucosal microbiota and may thus have
influence on the release of zonulin, the main regulator of gut permeability.
Gram negative bacteria precipitate and may be involved in the pathogenesis
of spondyloarthropathies. Susceptibility to many infectious agents is
associated with ABO blood group or secretor state. Patients who cannot
secrete ABO and Lewis blood group antigens into body fluids, an ability
controlled by a single gene on chromosome 19, are known to be at increased
risk of certain autoimmune diseases associated with human leukocyte antigen
(HLA) markers. Lewis (Le) blood group phenotype can be used to infer
secretor status. The objective of this study was to determine the
distribution of secretor state and Lewis blood group phenotype in patients
with seronegative spondyloarthropathies and healthy control subjects.
Hundred and ten (110) patients with seronegative spondyloarthropathies (58
females and 52 males) and 103 control (74 males and 29 females) subjects
participated in this study. Samples of saliva and blood were subjected to
haemagglutination inhibition tests for determination of secretor status and
Lewis phenotype. A total of 92(84%) patients and 92 (89%) control subjects
were secretors while 18 (16%) patients and 11 (11%) control subjects were
non-secretors. There was no statistically significant difference (?2 1,461
p<0,05 and degrees of freedom 1) in distribution of secretor status in
comparison to seronegative spondyloarthropathies by comparing two observed
populations. Seven patients had modified (reduced) expression of Lewis b
antigen on their erythrocytes. Reduction of Lewis b antigen expression was
not observed on erythrocytes of healthy subjects. Reduced expression of
Lewis b antigen could be a consequence of the inflammatory process within
the gut and it also suggests several pathogenic mechanisms which may be
relevant to the synthesis of Lewis antigens inside the gut or its absorption
on erythrocytes in patients with spondyloarthropathy.

The genus Cousinia Cass. of the tribe Cardueae with about 700 species is one
of the most diverse genera in Central and SW Asia following Senecio and
Vernonia. The section Cynaroideae with 89 species is the largest section of
the genus. Cousinia calocephala is the only endemic species of the section
distributed in 14 provinces of Iran from Alborz to Zagros mountains. In
present study 65 plant specimens of 13 geographical populations of C.
calocephala were investigated based on the morphological and genetic (ISSR)
data. ANOVA test revealed a significant morphological difference among the
studied populations. Similarly, AMOVA test yielded a significant genetic
difference between the studied populations, suggesting that the studied
populations are morphologically and genetically differentiated. AMOVA test
revealed that 94% of the total genetic difference was due to
inter-populations genetic differences, while 6% was due to within-species
genetic variability. The discriminating power of ISSR loci as determined by
Gst against Nm analysis, revealed that almost all ISSR loci have an
excellent discriminating power. Thus, ISSR markers are efficient in
differentiating of the studied C. calocephala populations. The mantel test,
revealed a significant positive correlation between genetic and
morphological distance and geographical distance of the studied populations.
Genetic analysis results revealed that along with genetic drift, low level
of gene flow and migration, adaptive loci also helped populations diverge
and adapt these populations to their local condition. Thus, we have three
different groups which can be considered as three ecotypes for C.
calocephala based on the morphological and genetic data.

The high diversity of Citrus genotypes can increase the probability of
identifying new genetic makeups and even desirable traits. Hence, 76
genotypes with unknown origin and 34 known cultivars from several Citrus
species were analyzed by SSR and AFLP markers. Overall, 326 alleles and 545
polymorphic bands were respectively scored for 28 SSR loci and 25 AFLP
primer-enzyme combinations. The results of various analyses accomplished
with SSR markers were in agreement with AFLP. Accordingly, the true species
of citron, mandarin, and pummelo were nested into separate groups. In the
studied germplasm, we succeeded in tracking three cryptic origin genomes (2
in SSR and 1 in AFLP analysis) which were distinct from 3 true species, and,
interestingly, they contributed to the genetic composition of some control
cultivars. The results suggested that the interspecific hybridization and
genetic introgression were the main determinants of the Citrus genotypes
genetic composition. Hereupon, the share of citron in 36%, mandarin in 34%,
and pummelo in 22% of selected accessions estimated more than 50%. Despite
the controversy about the origin of lemon and sour orange, the results of
different grouping methods suggested that lemon had more affinity with lime,
and the genetic contribution of mandarin in sour orange was stronger than
that of pummelo.
Species relationships of genus Plantago L.(Plantaginaceae) based on molecular and morphological evidence
Authors: Mohsenzadeh Saeed , Sheidai Masoud , Koohdar Fahimeh
Published: June 2020

The genus Plantago L. is a cosmopolitan genus with more than 200 species and
has the greatest dispersal rate in tropical and subtropical regions. The
taxonomy of the genus Plantago is controversial at the section and subgenus
levels. Therefore, we attempt to determine the relationships among 20
species of this genus for the first time in Iran using both morphological
and molecular data. ISSR marker and morphological characteristics were used
to examine relationships among different species and compare the results
with different classifications. The molecular study of Plantago species
showed that ISSR marker is not a good marker at the section and subgenus
levels, but is a good marker at the species level and it can identify
different genetic groups. Morphological study showed that according to
Rahn's taxonomy, the studied species should be in 4 subgenera, but section
Albicans is in need of taxonomic revision.
The influence of high and low levels of arsenic in the human body on the process of carcinogenesis, based on function, expression and genetic polymorphisms in the genes encoding the two arsenic transporters - water channels AQP and glucose transporters glut (SLC2A)

Arsenic is a metallic element commonly found in soil, water and plants, and
thereby can easily enter the food chain. When arsenic enters the body
through food consumption, it subsequently passes into the cells through
water channels (AQP) and glucose transporters (GLUT), where it may exert a
various metabolic alterations including genotoxicity, which may finally
promote carcinogenesis. However, there are human populations showing a
reduced adverse effects of arsenic. This is mainly due to a natural
selection caused by a long-term environmental exposure to a large doses of
arsenic. Aquaporins AQP3, AQP7, AQP9, AQP10 and glucose transporters SLC2A1
(GLUT1), SLC2A4 (GLUT4) are considered as the candidate genes associated
with resistance to arsenic in the carcinogenesis process as they are closely
related to the occurrence of a various types of cancers, while their
products are associated with arsenic transport.
Factores que predicen el riesgo de los derechos de los menores en el uso de redes sociales
Authors: Contreras Cázarez Carlos René
Published: June 2020

La tecnología digital ha trastocado la vida de los niños y niñas; ahora viven en un mundo más conectado, lo que ha generado grandes ventajas, como el libre acceso a la información, pero también grandes riesgos, situaciones que atentan contra los derechos particulares de los menores. El presente artículo persigue el objetivo de describir y analizar los hábitos de consumo en redes sociales de estudiantes de educación primaria teniendo en cuenta sus derechos fundamentales. Con una metodología de corte cuantitativo y enfoque hipotético-deductivo, la investigación aspira a identificar a través de un modelo estructural los derechos de los niños y niñas que están siendo afectados por el consumo habitual de redes sociales que realizan los propios infantes mediante dispositivos móviles. Se empleó una muestra de 290 alumnos de 5. o y 6.o año de escuelas primarias públicas en la localidad de Hermosillo, Sonora, México. Como parte de los resultados, se exponen las medidas de tendencia central: media, mediana y desviación estándar de variables demográficas, el alfa de Cronbach de las escalas empleadas, así como los índices de bondad de ajuste y ji al cuadrado del modelo propuesto para el estudio. Las diversas pruebas evidencian una fuerte predisposición a afectar y vulnerar algunos derechos fundamentales de los menores en la era digital a partir de sus hábitos de consumo.
Psychological and sociological factors impacting on migrant worker contribution to, and adaptation of, workplace safety culture
Authors: Skiba Richard
Published: June 2020

This paper highlights potential health and safety issues which may emerge in workplaces engaging migrant workers, particularly as effected by social distancing during training prior to employment, such as experienced by international students.  There are a number of factors that can contribute to the ways in which a migrant worker applies health and safety in their workplaces, including language and culture, that are commonly addressed through training, socialisation and workplace engagement.  With these opportunities limited due to social distancing, migrant workers have less opportunity to contribute to and embrace organisations’ safety culture.  This onus then falls onto employers to ensure that safe practices are learned, imbued and correctly and consistently applied with an objective of fostering a strong safety culture where employees go above and beyond what is expected in terms of safety performance that is mutually understood and shared.
Îjâz of Al-Qur'an in Perspective of An Noursi and Its Implication Towards the Translation of Al-Qur'an
Authors: Baihaqi Yusuf
Published: June 2020

There was a debate among the scholars regarding whether Al-Qur’an text was possible to be translated or not. When Al-Qur’an text is translated, another problem arises, whether the translation has included the entire meaning contained in Al-Qur’an text. So, it whether can replace the position of Al-Qur’an text or not. This paper aims to address these problems in An Noursi's perspective. Based on a descriptive analytical literature review of the writings of An Noursi relating to Al-Qur'an and the translation of Al-Qur'an, a conclusion can be drawn that the An Noursi is classified by Ulama that the text of Al-Qur'an cannot be translated into any language . This perspective is clearly seen when he explained the theme of Al-Qur'an, where Al-Qur'an is an aspect of the miracles of the language possessed by Al-Qur'an and cannot be possessed and compared by any other language. In addition, An Noursi's rejection of Al-Qur'an translation above cannot be separated from the social political influence in Turkey at that time, where religious secularization was very intensively carried out by the authorities. In other words, this paper tries to present a moderate perspective about the translation of Al-Qur’an, where the process of translating Al-Qur’an is very possible when the translation is understood to be limited to Tarjamah Tafsîriyyah not Tarjamah Harfiyyah, because actually the translation of Al-Qur’an is intended by the Ulama the one who rejected it was Tarjamah Harfiyyah. Besides, the translation of Al-Qur’an meant by the Ulama who allowed it was Tarjamah Tafsîriyyah.
