Karakteristik Tafsir al-Mushaf al-Mufassar karya Farid Wajdi
Authors: Aji Wahyu Kusuma
Published: March 2021

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap karakteristik kitab al-Mus}h}af al-Mufassarkarya Muhammad Farid Wajdi seorang tokoh mufasir kelahiran Mesir. Selain itu diulas pula alasan dari penggunaan karakter tersebut. Setelah melewati proses penelitian, penulis menemukan beberapa hal mengenai karakteristik al-Mus}h}af al-Mufassar Pertama, karakter al-Mus}h}af al-Mufassar tercermin pada dua aspek: (1) postur tafsir yang simpel dan lugas dengan corak tekstual-lugawi yang dikemas secara ijma>li>. Postur tafsirnya yang simpel dan lugas tersebut dapat ditengarai pada setiap bahasan tafsirnya selalu disajikan dalam satu halaman tuntas, tidak lebih. Selain itu, layout penulisan dan penyajian tafsirnya pun lebih berorientasi pada kemudahan dan kenyamanan bagi pembaca, yakni adanya penempatan secara proporsional antara teks ayat yang hendak ditafsirkan, tafsi>r al-alfa>z\ dan tafsi>r al-ma’a>ni>: teks ayat disajikan secara mushafi, sementara tafsi>r al-alfa>z\ ditempatkan persis di bagian samping sebagai hawa>misy, sedangkan tafsi>r al-ma’a>ni> ditempatkan di bagian bawah sebagai tafsiran makna ayat secara global; (2) struktur dan gaya bahasa tafsir yang sederhana. Bahasa tafsir yang lugas, tidak bertele-tele. Bahkan kerap menggunakan struktur kebahasaan Al-Qur’an itu sendiri.Kedua, penggunaan karakter postur dan bahasa tafsir yang simpel dan lugas tersebut, di satu sisi bisa dikatakan sebagai kritik atas tradisi tafsir sebelum-sebelumnya, dan di sisi lain sebagai bagian dari strategi M. Fari>d Wajdi> dalam konteks persaingan “pasar konsumsi tafsir” di Mesir.

Project Approach for Improving the Efficiency of Sports Facilities
Authors: Voinich Aleksandr L. , Chikurov Aleksandr I. , Il’ina Aleksandra S. , Sennikova Mariia A.
Published: March 2021

This article considers the place of the project approach in the system of management sciences. It also provides a brief description of the processes of its formation and development. The content analysis of 40 web resources has revealed an extremely low involvement of sports facilities in the project activities in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. Thus, only 45% of sports facilities have signs of project activities. At the same time, only 10% of sports facilities implement their own projects. By means of correlation and graphical analysis it is established that in the Krasnoyarsk Krai the involvement of sports facilities in project activities is not a decisive factor in their effectiveness (the correlation coefficient is not more than 2%). At the same time, economic modeling based on the “Horseback riding in ‘Gremyachaya griva’ eco-park” project shows the unrealized potential of the project approach as a significant factor in the effectiveness of sports facilities

Published: March 2021

The purpose is providing rationale for the distance duration (15 km) of the All-Russian physical culture and sports training program “Ready for Labor and Defense” hiking trip among young men (6th stage). The participants in this experiment were students (n=16) aged 18-21. The following physiological methods were used: heart-rate monitoring, measurement of blood pressure and subsequent determination of cardiac output, recording and interpretation of electrocardiograms according to the method of professor A. Zavyalov, as well as mental state determination by means of the “Well-being, energies, mood” method. Physical efficiency dynamics of teenagers by key indicators within the research at all key-points does not reflect significant functional changes in the body that would let us state the accumulation of great fatigue (ECG=14±2.38, WAM index was 5.2 at the beginning and 4.9 at the end, heart-rate =97 BPM). The main indicators of the dynamic analysis of the functional state of participants within the hiking trips allows us to conclude that a distance of 15 km is optimal for teenage boys. However, variable conditions are possible for in the form of an increase in distance to 18 km, final recommendations require additional research

Authors: Alekseev Sergey V. , Losev Valery F. , Grudtsyn Yakov V. , Koribut Andrey V. , Trofimov Vyacheslav A.
Published: March 2021

The conditions of broadening the second harmonic spectrum in KDP upon pumping by a negatively chirped pulse of fundamental frequency with central wavelength of 950 nm are analyzed numerically. It is shown that broadening of the spectrum (K = 1.4) is mainly limited by difference in group velocities of radiation pulse between first and second harmonics. The article is based on materials of the report at the first All-Russian scientific conference with international participation "YENISEI PHOTONICS – 2020"

Joint Distribution of the Number of Vertices and the Area of Convex Hulls Generated by a Uniform Distribution in a Convex Polygon
Authors: Khamdamov Isakjan M. , Chay Zoya S.
Published: March 2021

A convex hull generated by a sample uniformly distributed on the plane is considered in the case when the support of a distribution is a convex polygon. A central limit theorem is proved for the joint distribution of the number of vertices and the area of a convex hull using the Poisson approximation of binomial point processes near the boundary of the support of distribution. Here we apply the results on the joint distribution of the number of vertices and the area of convex hulls generated by the Poisson distribution given in [6]. From the result obtained in the present paper, in particular, follow the results given in [3, 7], when the support is a convex polygon and the convex hull is generated by a homogeneous Poisson point process

This report presents a new version of Structure Splitting optimization, implemented for the compiler for Elbrus and SPARC processors. Structure Splitting tries to improve data locality by splitting arrays of structures into arrays of smaller structures. This solution helps to decrease probability of cache misses, which leads to execution time decrease. The optimization was generalized for the case of array of structures nested in another structure and possibility of its reallocation. Execution speed of two tests from SPEC CPU2000 and SPEC CPU2006 increased by 19 and 12 %.

Aim: to study the activity of the HIF-1á (hypoxia-inducible factor-1á) hypoxia marker in pregnant women with phlebopathy and its relationship with placenta morphological changes and perinatal complications.

Materials and Methods. 70 women with phlebopathy were dynamically examined during pregnancy. The main group consisted of 30 patients with newborns showing signs of hypoxia; the control group consisted of 40 women with healthy children. All women underwent ultrasound examinations of the lower extremity veins and pelvis by assessing vascular patency, state of venous valves, and intensity of platelet sludge. Expression of the HIF-1á transcription factor at gestational age of 18–20 and 36 weeks was performed by using real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Results. Altered functional state of the veins was found in all pregnant women from the main group, which was accompanied by formation of varying degree platelet sludge in the area of the venous valves in the majority of women, as well as signs of endothelial dysfunction and venous hypoxia highlighted with HIF1-á gene expression upregulated by 2.18-fold. No changes in such parameters were observed in control group.

Conclusion. The transcription factor HIF1-á can be considered as a marker of unfavorable perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with signs of phlebopathy.
A Probabilistic Framework to Model Distributions of VS30
Authors: Mital Utkarsh , Ahdi Sean , Herrick Julie , Iwahashi Junko , Savvaidis Alexandros , Yong Alan
Published: March 2021

The time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 m depth from the ground surface, or VS30, is often used as a predictor to describe local site effects in ground-motion models. Although VS30 is typically determined from in situ measurements, it is not always feasible to obtain such measurements due to project restrictions or site accessibility. This motivates the development and use of proxy-based VS30 predictions that leverage more readily available secondary information such as surface geology, topographic slope, or geomorphic terrain classes to estimate the mean VS30 and associated uncertainty. Traditionally, empirical distributions of VS30 have been observed to have long right tails, leading to high levels of associated uncertainty. In this study, we present a physical framework that is grounded in fundamental principles of geostatistics and probability to explain the uncertainty and skewness associated with VS30 measurements. Specifically, by invoking Lyapunov’s central limit theorem, we hypothesize that the distribution of VS30 can be theoretically approximated by a reciprocal–normal distribution. We show that a non-normal and skewed distribution of VS30 is to be expected and is not a sign of measurement error or sampling bias, although sampling bias can exaggerate such skewness. Our framework also enables us to propose the mode as a characteristic value of VS30 measurements, as opposed to the mean or median, which can overestimate the most probable value.

Preparedness is the main competency that must be possessed by disaster-prone communities, including students. Preparedness is built on knowledge. Previous research shows the level of student preparedness varies greatly, but there is no explanation yet about the relationship of knowledge and other factors that affect student preparedness. In addition, preparedness measures have not yet examined the component of disaster markers or precursors. This research was conducted to describe the factors associated with the level of student preparedness. The study population was science education students and the research sample was determined purposively, so that 104 science students took IPBA courses as samples. Research is descriptive research. Data collection was carried out through a TPPG preparedness questionnaire and an earthquake precursor knowledge test. In addition, secondary data in the form of UTS values are also used that represent basic earthly knowledge that is relevant to earthquake preparedness. The results showed that 1) TPPG preparedness for students was in the moderate / sufficient category, 2) preparedness was influenced by the area of origin of students and was not influenced by gender and earth knowledge, 3) students' knowledge of earthquake markers was very low.
Tax Culture: Perspectives from an African State
Authors: Atuguba Raymond A.
Published: March 2021

Universally, Tax Culture is not a very common topic but it is critical to administrative governance and economic development. This article argues that the Tax Culture of any milieu is an assemblage of various indices and criteria. These include the history of taxation; tax laws; tax information; tax education; tax revenue mobilization; tax system transparency; tax delinquency; tax dispute resolution; and taxpayer satisfaction. The article sheds light on these instrumental wheels of the Tax Culture of Ghana by providing the research results of field surveys conducted a decade and a half ago. Though dated, any observer of the Tax Culture of Ghana, and indeed of much of Africa and the Global South, will realize that little has since changed. In some instances, the article provides more up-to-date evidence beyond the 2005 data. The article goes beyond an assessment of the Tax Culture of Ghana and articulates recommendations for improving the same. Additionally, it attempts to interconnect issues of Taxation, Good Governance, and Legal Pluralism. Although popular themes in public discourse in Africa today, these concepts are often spoken of in different thematic spheres other than taxation. The article links these themes in practical and concrete ways to taxation, cast in the light of historical institutionalism – an examination of the institutions of taxation, governance, and traditional authority as they interacted through time.

Evaluation of study methodology patterns among first year MBBS students: a pilot study
Authors: Bharati Anup S. , Pawar Yogesh , Samarth Abhishek
Published: March 2021

Background: Academic achievement and achieving educational goals require the existence of several factors, most importantly the study habits of individuals. Because of the high sensitivity of future professions, and the need for comprehensive learning of the curriculum, paying attention to the study habits and its promotion is critically important. The differences in study habits can be attributed to the individual differences and their previous educational background. Studies indicate that incorrect study habits of students need to be identified and fixed because many of these incorrect habits get transferred to higher education levels. Hence, it becomes necessary to provide suitable guidance to improve these habits.Methods: This was cross sectional, observational pre-validated questionnaire-based pilot study conducted by enrolling 107 students of first year MBBS.Results: The study included 46 males and 57 females and 4 did not mention the gender. Age of participants ranged from 17 years to 21. Around half students were from urban background, half of the students were from English medium. 57.9% participants reported they did not have a regular sleep pattern and 12.15 % reported they strongly never had regular sleep pattern. All students denied regular exercise. 41 out of 107 said they use or used cigarettes to boost their concentration and memory. On the other hand, 42.9% said they used alcohol and other substances in the past. When compared by gender difference, males were more likely to engage in day dreaming, and skip chapter that does not interest them as compared to female participants. Females were more likely to make an outline of chapters before reading, refer dictionary when needed, discuss studied topic with others by asking questions. Surprisingly female were more embarrassed of asking questions.Conclusions: To conclude, the results of our study on medical students showed that attending study skill workshops and learning related abilities can empower the students in the areas of selecting the main idea, study aids, information processing, self-testing, and use of test strategies. However, teaching self-regulation strategies and practicing them in class can create opportunities that help the students manage and monitor their learning.

Today more and more food and beverages are mixed with some types of alcohol in disguise. Fatwa MUI No.4 Year 2003 states that " tidak boleh mengonsumsi dan menggunakan makanan/ minuman yang menimbulkan rasa/aroma (flavor) benda – benda atau binatang yang diharamkan". As per the current technological trend of Industrial Revolution 4.0. which focuses on internet-based technology using ESP8266 module so the researchers intend to make a detector of alcohol content that the results of its measurements can be known by real time by sending directly to the internet or known as Intenet of Things (IoT). This tool is expected to help the community, industry and government in determining the alcohol content of various products.Keywords : Alcohol, Sensor MQ-3, modul ESP8266
WITNESSING, GRIEVING, AND REMEMBERING: LETTERS OF RESISTANCE, LOVE, AND RECLAMATION FROM DAUGHTERS OF IZZAT
Authors: Mucina Mandeep Kaur
Published: March 2021

This article challenges public and private constructions of honourrelated violence as they impact second-generation South Asian women and girls in Canada. While much has been written about the victims of honour killings, including high profile cases of young women killed by their families in Canada, considerably less attention and space has been given to second-generation South Asian Canadian women and girl’s stories of survivance and resistance against honour-based violence (HBV). This paper moves towards storying processes of grieving and of witnessing public stories of HBV, and documents a collective writing process I undertook in collaboration with survivors of HBV. We shared narratives of grief and pain, and the power of collective storywork. The paper includes two letters that speak to the context in which second generation South Asian women are embodying resistance and reclamation, and witnessing stories of grief, loss, love, and acceptance.
SHOULD FEMINISTS STOP TALKING ABOUT CULTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST MUSLIM WOMEN? THE CASE OF “HONOUR KILLING”
Authors: Razack Sherene H.
Published: March 2021

The violence, scale, and power of anti-Muslim narratives circulated on the internet and elsewhere continue to have considerable impact on feminist antiviolence initiatives. I examine contemporary responses to “honour killings” with particular reference to the Palestinian, Indian, and North American contexts, reflecting on how anti-violence advocates negotiate the terrain of culture in the case of honour killings. I ask whether the focus on culture has an impact on how courts and society view violence committed by Muslim men (and sometimes women) against Muslim women and girls. I suggest that cultural details contribute little to an enhanced legal understanding of the crime simply because this is not their primary purpose. Instead, the cultural details are part of a pedagogy that conveys a message of the racial and cultural superiority of the dominant society and a corresponding inferiority of Muslim cultures. We should therefore always talk culture with the greatest of restraint lest the racism that accompanies culture talk inhibit our understanding of the violence and limit our capacity to respond to it.
POLICE UNDERSTANDINGS OF AND RESPONSES TO A COMPLEX VIGNETTE OF “HONOUR”-BASED CRIME AND FORCED MARRIAGE
Authors: Aujla Wendy
Published: March 2021

Police understandings of honour-based crimes (HBCs) and forced marriages (FMs) vary in terms of an individual officer’s level of expertise, knowledge, and experience in handling such situations. This study applied constructivist grounded theory approaches to analyze individual interviews with 32 police officers and 14 civilians in police agencies operating in urban and rural settings in Alberta, Canada. Specifically, this paper seeks to answer how police officers and civilians who work in police agencies experience, make sense of, and understand HBCs. Participants received a hypothetical vignette about a young woman who had reached out to the police. The vignette illustrated various forms of abuse by the woman’s father, the involvement of other actors (mother, brother, family friend) and the culmination in an FM. After reading the vignette, participants were asked to respond to six questions. Analysis revealed that both police and civilians recognized the need in the vignette scenario for intervention, while experiencing uncertainty about how to respond. The findings showed that not everyone in policing would be able to identify reliably the need for police intervention, and that investigations could proceed differently depending on the investigator’s level of knowledge and awareness of HBCs and FMs. Police have achieved some successful interventions, but still lack sufficient guidance on how torespond to these crimes. Clear, appropriate policies regarding which cases need to be directed to specialized domestic violence units for follow-up are needed. A significant finding points to the importance of considering cultural sensitivity discourses as well as the impact of cultural and racist stereotypes when responding to situations like the one outlined in the vignette.
PATRIARCHY AND THE “OTHER” IN THE WESTERN IMAGINATION: HONOUR KILLINGS AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
Authors: Train Kelly Amanda
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this article is to explore the pedagogical challenges of teaching university-level, feminist, anti-racist courses that examine how Eurocentric patriarchal practices of male violence against women within Canadian society are normalized and obscured through the concept of honour killing. I argue that the normalization of Western structures and practices of patriarchy reproduces racism, sexism, and classism by focusing attention on the “Otherness” of non-Western forms of patriarchy. Honour killings are rendered as distinct from other forms of male violence against women on the basis that they are seen solely as a product of non-Western cultures and religions and not as part of a spectrum of forms of male violence against women practised by all patriarchal societies in Western and non-Western countries.

BACKGROUND Fever is the commonest cause of thrombocytopenia that narrows the differential diagnosis and management of fever. The complexity of thrombocytopenia and its control can also be determined through fever. Lack of proper surveillance system and limited laboratory services pose a definite challenge for a perfect diagnosis leading to case management primarily based on clinical manifestations. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 patients attending outpatient department of Vinayaka Missions Kirupananda Variyar Medical College & Hospitals, during the period of April 2017 to September 2017 (6 months). In patients with fever with thrombocytopenia, a careful history was recorded, general physical examination, laboratory and technical investigation reports were noted down from regular investigations. Culture sensitivity and serology were considered as primary outcome variables. The continuous data was expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and for independent sample “t” test was used to compare the data. A probability value (“P” value) of ≤ 0.05 at 95 % confidence interval was considered as statistically significant using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). RESULTS The mean age was 44.73 ± 21.18 years in the study population. 39 (43.33 %) were males and 51 (56.67 %) were females. The average period of stay in the hospital was 8.84 ± 5.73 days; the most common chief complaint was chills & rigors seen in 65 (72.22 %) patients. The most commonly observed comorbidity in the patients was diabetes mellitus. The mean and SD of platelet count was 91522.22 ± 32265.13 per µL. 21 (23.33 %) people had dengue. The mean platelet count at discharge was 192215.19 ± 49481.85 per µL. CONCLUSIONS The commonest cause is infection, for fever with decreased platelet count. A significant number of cases of febrile thrombocytopenia were diagnosed as sepsis in the present study. KEYWORDS Infection, Dengue, Septicaemia, Petechiae / Purpura, Spontaneous Bleeding, Fever

The requirements to waive in vivo bioequivalence studies for immediate release solid oral dosage forms based on the Biopharmaceutics Classifications System (BCS) are well known, and biowaivers[1] for other types of oral dosage forms based on pre-defined criteria may also be acceptable. Similarly, biowaivers for dosage forms such as injectable products may also be allowed if certain criteria are met. The current paper summarises the biowaiver requirements for oral solutions and suspensions, soft gelatin capsules and injectable products (intravenous injections, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, emulsions for injection and micellar solutions for injection) among the participants of the Bioequivalence Working Group for Generics (BEWGG) of the International Pharmaceutical Regulators Programme (IPRP). A review of the requirements indicated that there was a trend towards convergence when the dosage form became less complex; however, the most common approach used by each of the jurisdictions was a case-by-case approach given that most jurisdictions do not have well defined guidelines to support all possible scenarios. Even in the simplest case of intravenous solutions, the acceptability of qualitative changes in excipients differ between the IPRP members.  Notwithstanding the differences, the dissemination of the information is a first step towards regulatory convergence regarding biowaivers for certain dosage forms and should be useful for pharmaceutical companies currently developing generic medicinal products for IPRP jurisdictions.

Methotrexate (MTX) is the main drug for the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ABCG2 pump is the main transporter of MTX on BBB. Our aim was to investigate the possible relationship between three polymorphisms of the ABCG2 gene, and isolated CNS relapses in Iranian children with ALL receiving high dose MTX. Genotyping of three polymorphisms of the ABCG2 gene, including G34A, C376T, and C421A, was performed by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for 56 patients. A high frequency of C376T CT genotype was observed among the patients. There was no significant association between C376T and C421 and isolated CNS relapse (P>0.05). C376T and C421A polymorphisms are not associated with isolated CNS relapse in childhood ALL.

Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most frequent birth defects, and genetic factors contribute to the pathogenesis of the disorder in about half of the patients. In the present study, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) based on Next-generation sequencing (NGS) in an Iranian family with hereditary HL. Then, Sanger sequencing was used to verify the segregation of the variant recognized in affected family members. A novel homozygous frameshift variation, c.649-650insC, in TECTA was found in the family, which might lead to a truncated TECTA protein (p. Asn218Gln fsX31). Our findings propose that the homozygous TECTA-p.N218QfsX31 mutation is the pathogenic variant for ARNSHL. To the best of our knowledge, this mutation has not been described in patients with the HL phenotype and so far has not to be reported in any of the mutation databases. Our data expand the spectrum of mutations in the TECTA gene in nonsyndromic hearing loss.
