ABSTRACT
            The concept of Islamic education in the family according to Dr. Moh. Haitam Salim. Bogor thesis: The concept of Islamic education in the family according to Dr. Moh. Haitami Salim is the title of an independent research that the author conducted with the aim of knowing how the concept of Islamic education in the family, in particular the role of parents in the formation of the personal character of the child.
Islamic education is a means of developing knowledge to improve human understanding which includes aspects of faith, worship, morals and others, the teaching and familiarization of praiseworthy attitudes, as well as skills in practice and realization of religious teachings so that humans are able to have strong morals. which are commendable and beneficial to society. In this case, the Islamic education learned in formal education is not enough, because the learning hours in schools are very limited, so in addition to Islamic education in schools, it is necessary to inculcate in the family environment, because the development of the child is the most influential. are family or relatives.
 
The method used in this study uses the library method of study, namely the means and efforts to obtain and test the truth of knowledge from various references according to primary sources. From the different stages of research, it can be concluded that Islamic education in the family is very urgent. The role of parents in informal education is an obligation difficult to deny and give up. Because the most important influence in raising a child since birth may depend on the parenting style of his or her parents. Therefore, the role of parents in education is necessary, especially in the development of character education, where a child must have good character and personality to become a nation of character, of noble character, of responsibility and discipline towards the environment, especially in the educational environment. and society. Thus, Islamic education in the family is formed to maintain the affective values ​​that are instilled in a child in order to achieve educational goals in accordance with Islamic law in order to make a nation of character.

Nas organizações o processo do conhecimento surgido na Idade Média, passou por diversas transformações e elaborações, chegando ao século XXI, com a problematização do desafio de sua sustentabilidade, a partir de valores, missão e tradição cultural, mantidos ao longo dos séculos. As funções sociais são inerentes a qualquer sistema social, uma vez que toda sociedade é um produto unido resultante de sua história e de suas relações com outros povos. Embora sejam muito diversas em razão da peculiaridade de seus contextos culturais, as sociedades apresentam, também, características comuns. Sendo sistemas sociais, necessitam do desempenho de certas funções universais, indispensáveis ao prosseguimento de seu curso. No âmbito da educação, ela é envolvida pelas projeções de alguma dessas funções de caráter universal. E isto se dá com a educação em todas as sociedades. Do mesmo modo, quando nos referimos à educação em saúde, cumpre apontarmos que ela assume um papel basilar na vida dos cidadãos e da sociedade como um todo, levando em conta, a combinação da promoção da saúde e prevenção de doenças, que engloba o bem-estar físico, mental e social dos indivíduos. Por essa crítica, é que se busca fazer uma análise do conceito-chave relativo à Educação em Saúde e suas interfaces na área da Saúde Coletiva.

Russian Political Image in Spanish Media during the Revitalisation of Information Wars (Considering the Crimean Events of 2014 and the Ukrainian Events of 2022)
Authors: Shmakova D. E.
Published: August 2022

The article, through the use of the method of quantitative and qualitative content analysis of media materials, as well as a sociological survey of the population of Spain, examines the phenomenon of «negatization» of the international political image of the Russian Federation against the backdrop of the Crimean and Ukrainian events in the context of increasing geopolitical confrontation, information wars, and also evaluates the role of the Spanish media in constructing the image of the state. The author concludes that the content of the Spanish discourse regarding the assessment of Russia and its role in international affairs from 2014 to 2022 has significantly transformed, and that the Spanish media use the patterns set by the USA, which is expressed in the portrayal of Russia as an aggressor, posing a serious threat to international security and stability. At the same time, there is a need to increase the effectiveness of the domestic media in the process of adjusting the image of Russia and minimizing its negative characteristics.

Authors: Joulaei Hassan , Roosta Fatemeh , Foroozanfar Zohre , Ghiasi Fariba , Sehat Nezhad Aygin
Published: August 2022

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of services provided in Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) centers from the perspective of clients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) in Shiraz, Iran, in 2019. The data were collected using a SERVQUAL questionnaire. Results: The mean scores of expected and perceived service qualities were 4.81 (95% CI: 4.741 - 4.864) and 3.96 (95% CI: 3.901 - 4.019) in male subjects and 4.85 (95% CI: 4.80 - 4.89) and 4.09 (95% CI: 4.01 - 4.135) in female subjects, respectively. There was a significant difference between the expectations and perceptions of clients in all dimensions of service quality in VCT centers. The gaps in the dimensions of responsiveness and empathy were greater than all other dimensions. Conclusions: Due to the high dissatisfaction of PLWH with the quality of services in the responsiveness, accessibility, and empathy dimensions, priority should be given to these dimensions in any improvement effort. The low education level of this group should be taken into account for any educational programs to be successful.
A Review of Reactive and Non-reactive Agility Tests Concerning Neurologic Aspects
Authors: Tajik Mohammad , Azarbayjani Mohammad Ali , Peeri Maghsoud
Published: August 2022

: Agility is an essential component of sport performance, especially in ball sports. It is also a significant indicator of sport skills under competitive conditions. Agility is one of the most critical factors in the sport performance of soccer players. Agility and coordination of the nervous-muscular system to produce maximum force, as an important factor of function and physical fitness, which is considered along with perception and decision making in unpredictable situations. Assessment tests for assessing agility are divided into two general areas called non-reactive agility as well as reactive agility test. Although non-reactive agility tests are superior to reactive agility tests in terms of reliability, reactive agility tests are more similar to the movement and skill pattern in soccer and can distinguish players from each other well. In reactive agility tests, the movement path of the experimenter is not predictable and not all changes in path are predetermined and exactly the movement pattern in the soccer game where the movement path of the player is not predictable and the movement path of the ball as well as the prevailing conditions in the game that determine and change of direction player at any moment. The results showed that non-reactive agility had a higher relative validity and reliability than reactive agility. This small difference was acknowledged by researchers related to the reactivity and complexity of reactive agility tests. finally a review of the above studies and findings confirms that the use of reactive agility tests is necessary to evaluate athletes
How Far Can Political Liberalism Support Reforms in Higher Education?
Authors: O'Brien David ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: August 2022

According to a standard picture in the educational policy and educational ethics literature, justice requires significant alterations to higher-education arrangements, in order to equalize opportunity and benefit badly-off social groups. I argue that, if political liberalism is correct, then a range of higher-education reforms favored by the standard picture lack support. After canvassing the standard picture (section 2), I explain why political liberalism entails that some institutions have a special status that prohibits certain kinds of interventions on them (section 3), and I explain why this means that political liberalism cannot vindicate the standard picture (sections 4 and 5).

Authors: Luznik Luksa , Bose Neil , Liu Pengfei
Published: August 2022

An experimental study to measure developed thrust from a rigid foil subjected to unsteady oscillatory motion was conducted in the towing tank at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The foil tested had a rectangular planform, NACA0019 section, span of 400 mm, and aspect ratio 6. In the experiment the heave amplitude to chord ratio was large (of order 1) and the pitch amplitudes tested were 6, 13, 17.5, and 21 degrees. The pitching axis position was fixed at the mid-chord, and pitch led heave motion by 90 degrees.

Results of developed thrust are presented· and examined with respect to three areas of interest: large amplitude motion, foil performance at large angles of attack, and a comparison with an existing 3D large amplitude unsteady panel code to predict developed thrust Agreement between the numerical and experimental results is discussed and remarks concerning the limitations of the computational results are made. Uncertainty analysis on the experimental data was performed.
Broaching-To: A Proposed Definition and Analysis Method
Authors: Renilson Martin R. , Tuite Andrew
Published: August 2022

A non-linear mathematical model is developed to investigate the behavior of vessels operating in following seas. The effect of the position of the vessel in the wave on the maneuvering characteristics, the wave forces, the rudder effectiveness and the transverse stability is taken into account. A full investigation into the behavior of vessels operating in following seas is hampered by the well known problem that the response of such a non-linear system is highly dependent on the initial conditions.
Bringing it all together
Authors: Potter Rich , Horn Christian , Meijer Ellen
Published: August 2022

This paper presents the results of a photogrammetric survey of the rock art panel Tanum 247:1 in Kalleby, which revealed an entirely new boat that had previously been missed in a documentation history over 50 years long. Through the combined use of digital and traditional methods the results could be verified. It is therefore argued that collating documentations, both past and present, can help to create a better picture of Bronze Age rock art carvings.  In addition to using new and traditional documentation methods together, panels should be recorded beyond what is known, both in terms of discovering unknown carvings, as well as creating better data for future researchers.

Published: August 2022

Objective

To investigate the effect of Sema3A/NRP1 signaling in oligodendrocytes (OLs) after spinal cord injury.

Methods

Three analysis strategies, namely differential expression gene analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, were applied. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING website to explore the correlation between Sema3A/NRP1 and oligodendrocytes. Then, the T10 spinal cord segment of rats was injured by the Allen method to establish a spinal cord injury (SCI) model. Real-time quantitative PCR, Western blotting, Nissl staining and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the effect of Sema3A/NRP1 signaling on oligodendrocytes in vivo.

Results

After the SCI model was established, significantly fewer oligodendrocytes were observed. At the same time, R software was used to analyze the expression of related genes, and NRP1 expression was increased. PCR also demonstrated similar results, and NRP1 ligand Sema3A was also upregulated. KEGG and GO functional enrichment analysis indicated that the SCI model was mainly related to cytokine interaction, cell proliferation, differentiation and maturation. Interestingly, we found that NRP1 was involved in semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway neuronal projection guidance and axon guidance, mediating cell growth and migration. Moreover, Sema3A/NRP1 signaling was closely associated with platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) in the PPI network. When Sema3A/NRP1 signaling was specifically blocked at early stages, PDGFRα expression was effectively inhibited, and the expression of OLs was promoted. Furthermore, inhibition of Sema3A/NRP1 signaling increased the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score of lower limb motor function in SCI rats and promoted the survival of motor neurons in the ventral horn of the injured spinal cord.

Conclusion

Our data suggest that Sema3A/NRP1 signaling may regulate the development of OPCs and OLs after SCI, thereby affecting functional recovery.

O texto explora uma série de distinções entre estados mentais que podem ser cognitivamente relevantes, bem como entre aqueles que podem ser “autoapresentantes”, a fim de analisar as relações entre eles e o mundo exterior e compreender os tipos de crenças e juízos epistêmicos que podem ensejar. Busca, ainda, reconsiderar o estatuto (porventura epistêmico) de experiências sensórias com conteúdo. O objetivo desse percurso é fazer frente a objeções céticas à justificação epistêmica do tipo daquelas levantadas pelo trilema de Agripa, segundo o qual a avaliação reflexiva não pode regredir infinitamente, circular infinitamente, nem depender de alguma instância arbitrária. Trata-se, também, finalmente, de esclarecer, com as nuances relevantes, a relação entre juízo e liberdade – esclarecimento relevante para a análise mais geral da agência epistêmica. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Juízo. Agência epistêmica. Liberdade. Conhecimento. Trilema de Agripa. EPISTEMIC AGENCY Ernest Sosa The paper explores a series of distinctions between mental states that might be cognitively relevant, as well as between those that might be “self-presenting”, so as to analyze the relations between these and the external world, and understand the types of beliefs and epistemic judgments for which they allow. The paper also aims to reconsider the (perhaps epistemic) status of contentful sensory experiences. The goal of the journey is to face skeptical objections to epistemic justification akin to those raised by the Agrippan trilemma, according to which reflexive evaluation cannot regress infinitely, be infinitely circular, nor depend upon some arbitrary instance. It is also question of clarifying, with the relevant nuances, the relation between judgment and freedom – a clarification that is of import to the more general question of epistemic agency. KEY-WORDS: Judgment. Epistemic agency. Freedom. Knowledge. Agrippan trilemma. AGENCE ÉPISTÉMIQUE Ernest Sosa Le texte explore toute une série de distinctions entre des états mentaux qui sont ou non cognitivement pertinents, ou qui sont aussi ou non “auto-présentants”, comme manière d’analyser les relations entre ceux-ci et le monde extérieur, et de comprendre les types de croyances et de jugements épistémiques qu’ils peuvent faire surgir. Notre étude cherche également à reconsidérer le statut (peut-être épistémique) d’expériences sensorielles ayant un contenu. L’objectif de ce parcours est de faire face aux objections septiques quant à la justification épistémique de celles soulevées par le trilemme d’Agrippa selon lequel l’évaluation réflexive ne peut régresser indéfiniment, circuler indéfiniment ni dépendre d’une quelconque instance arbitraire. Il s’agit aussi, finalement, d’éclaircir avec des nuances la relation entre jugement et liberté – éclairage significatif pour l’analyse plus générale de l’agence épistémique. MOTS-CLÉS: Jugement.

A AFIRMAÇÃO DE UMA SITUAÇÃO SOCIOCOMUNICATIVA: desfile de carnaval e tramas da cultura popular urbana carioca
Authors: Farias Edson Silva
Published: August 2022

Neste artigo, com o objetivo de acompanhar a dinâmica de estilização sociocomunicativa em que se define o gênero lúdico-estético Desfile de Carnaval, no Rio de Janeiro, a argumentação desenvolvida toma por fio condutor a posição do artista-intelectual carnavalesco. Isto, no andamento da diferenciação funcional relativa à ascensão do cargo e como se afirma sua liderança estética nos desfiles das escolas de samba. Recortamos a análise no intervalo entre as décadas de 1950 e 1980, focando, de um lado, o carnavalesco, na figura do intelectual modernista comprometido com um ideário modernizador, na postura do legislador cultural; de outro lado, o lugar do especialista na concepção e produção de imagens visuais no concerto do superestáculo carnavalesco.

Comunicação.CARNIVAL PARADE AND CULTURAL NETWORKS OF THE URBAN RESIDENTS OF RIO DE JANEIRO Edson Silva Farias In this article, with the aim of following the dynamics of the socio-communicative stylization which fits into the definition of the entertainmentesthetic genre of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival Parade, the guiding principle of the argument developed is the point of view of the carnival intellectualartist. This means the development of the functional differentiation regarding job promotion and how this affects their esthetic leadership in the samba school parades. We will analyze the period from the 1950s to the 1980s, focusing on one hand on the carnival character as a modernist intellectual committed to a set of modernizing ideas, in the position of cultural legislator; on the other hand, focusing on the role of the specialist in the conception and production of visual images in the concert of the carnival super-spectacle.

Muscles and some tough hydrogels can maintain perfect mechanical properties after millions of loading cycles owing to the anisotropic microstructures inside them. However, applications of intrinsic anisotropic microstructures in biological tissues and tough hydrogels are limited by the poor mechanical performance in the perpendicular direction relative to the alignment direction. Here, a universal strategy is proposed for developing hydrogels with unprecedented isotropic crack propagation resistance only depending on the interpenetrating entanglements of polymer chains (polyacrylamide (PAAM) or poly‐(1‐acrylanmido‐2‐methylpropanesulfonic acid) (PAMPS)) in deformable polymeric microspheres (PAMPS or PAAM). The deformable interpenetrating network in microspheres can transform the hydrogel from isotropic to anisotropic instantaneously in any load direction, and effectively alleviate the stress concentration at the crack tip, dissipate energy, and eliminate notch sensitivity. The best isotropic hydrogel displays an ultimate strain of 5300%, toughness of 18.9 MJ m–3, fracture energy of 157 kJ m–2, and fatigue threshold of 4.2 kJ m–2. Furthermore, the mechanical strength of hydrogels can be simply tuned by solvent replacement. The strategy presented here can be expanded to prepare other isotropic hydrogels with super tear‐resistant and anti‐fatigue properties, based on a wide variety of deformable microspheres and matrix polymers.
Efficient Room‐Temperature Voltage Control of Picosecond Optical Spin Orientation Using a III‐V Semiconductor Nanostructure

Published: August 2022

Manipulation of the optical spin orientation in semiconductors is a key technology for realizing spin‐based photoelectric information processing. Application of magnetic field is a simple method to control the spin polarization degree through Zeeman splitting. However, this effect can only be achieved at cryogenic temperatures and in a strong magnetic field. Here, room‐temperature voltage control of optical polarization in the range of 3–15%, corresponding to a 12–60% change in relative spin polarization is demonstrated. For this, a III‐V semiconductor quantum dot tunnel coupled with a quantum well spin reservoir is used. The spin‐flip scattering rate within quantum dots is electric‐field‐controlled in the time domain of several tens of picoseconds. This is achieved by precise control of the tunnel injection efficiency of electrons and holes via coupled potential modification. The findings will pave the way for the generation of ultrafast spin‐modulated optical signals by the electric field effect.
Bistable Helical Origami Gripper for Sensor Placement on Branches
Authors: Geckeler Christian , Mintchev Stefano
Published: August 2022

Understanding forest functioning is limited by the scalability of monitoring solutions and difficulty of access. Manual sensor placement can reach most locations but lacks scalability. Micro‐aerial vehicles (MAVs) allow for scalable sensor delivery, but current solutions are limited to attaching sensors to the trunk or large branches with spines or adhesives. The thinner branches of the outer canopy remain inaccessible, despite being of particular interest due to the important physiological processes occurring in the foliage. Herein, a MAV‐deployable bistable helically coiling origami gripper is developed. The unfurled state allows for transport with a MAV, and when pushed against a branch triggers the second helically coiled state, which permits secure attachment to branches. Origami manufacturing keeps the weight of the gripper below 5 g, despite holding up to 280 g, and gripping diameters from 8 mm to 38 mm inclined up to 30°. The holding force, activation force, and resistance to tilt and rotation offsets are experimentally characterized. The deployment and retrieval of the gripper and sensor are demonstrated outside, where sensor data are collected from previously inaccessible branches in the outer canopy. Enabling robust sensor attachment in the outer canopy marks a step toward scalable environmental monitoring of forest ecosystems.
Selection against early flowering in geothermally heated soils is associated with pollen but not prey availability in a carnivorous plant

Premise

In high‐latitude environments, plastic responses of phenology to increasing spring temperatures allow plants to extend growing seasons while avoiding late frosts. However, evolved plasticity might become maladaptive if climatic conditions change and spring temperatures no longer provide reliable cues for conditions important for fitness. Maladaptative phenological responses might be related to both abiotic factors and mismatches with interacting species. When mismatches arise, we expect selection to favor changes in phenology.

Methods

We combined observations along a soil temperature gradient in a geothermally heated area with pollen and prey supplementation experiments and examined how phenotypic selection on flowering time in the carnivorous plant Pinguicula vulgaris depends on soil temperature, and pollen and prey availability.

Results

Flowering advanced and fitness decreased with increasing soil temperature. However, in pollen‐supplemented plants, fitness instead increased with soil temperature. In heated soils, there was selection favoring later flowering, while earlier flowering was favored in unheated soils. This pattern remained also after artificially increasing pollen and prey availability.

Conclusions

Plant–pollinator mismatches can be an important reason why evolved plastic responses of flowering time to increasing spring temperatures become maladaptive under novel environmental conditions, and why there is selection to delay flowering. In our study, selection for later flowering remained after artificially increasing pollen availability, suggesting that abiotic factors also contribute to the observed selection. Identifying the factors that make evolved phenological responses maladaptive under novel conditions is fundamental for understanding and predicting evolutionary responses to climate warming.

Recent studies show an association of Parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (PARK2) copy number variations (CNVs) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The aim of our pilot study to investigate gene expression associated with PARK2 CNVs in human‐derived cellular models. We investigated gene expression in fibroblasts, hiPSC and dopaminergic neurons (DNs) of ADHD PARK2 deletion and duplication carriers by qRT PCR compared with healthy and ADHD cell lines without PARK2 CNVs. The selected 10 genes of interest were associated with oxidative stress response (TP53, NQO1, and NFE2L2), ubiquitin pathway (UBE3A, UBB, UBC, and ATXN3) and with a function in mitochondrial quality control (PINK1, MFN2, and ATG5). Additionally, an exploratory RNA bulk sequencing analysis in DNs was conducted. Nutrient deprivation as a supplementary deprivation stress paradigm was used to enhance potential genotype effects. At baseline, in fibroblasts, hiPSC, and DNs, there was no significant difference in gene expression after correction for multiple testing. After nutrient deprivation in fibroblasts NAD(P)H‐quinone‐dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) expression was significantly increased in PARK2 CNV carriers. In a multivariate analysis, ubiquitin C (UBC) was significantly upregulated in fibroblasts of PARK2 CNV carriers. RNA sequencing analysis of DNs showed the strongest significant differential regulation in Neurontin (NNAT) at baseline and after nutrient deprivation. Our preliminary results suggest differential gene expression in pathways associated with oxidative stress, ubiquitine‐proteasome, immunity, inflammation, cell growth, and differentiation, excitation/inhibition modulation, and energy metabolism in PARK2 CNV carriers compared to wildtype healthy controls and ADHD patients.
