Ummat Islam telah sepakat bahwa, Aisyah adalah salah satu sahabat dan istri Nabi. Beliau termasuk salah satu dari tujuh orang terbanyak penghafal hadis. kontribusi beliau sangat besar terhadap perkembangan Islam terbukti dengan dua ribu hadis lebih yang ia hafal. Namun, ironisnya sebagian dari minuritas ummat muslim khususnya mazhab Syiah masih meragukan eksistensi Aisyah. Bahkan, menolak keberadaannya sehingga bermplikasi terhadap riwayat yang ia sampaikan tidak bisa diterima. Perbedaan ideologi inilah yang menjadi kegelisahan akademik dan perlu melakukan kajian terhadap ideologi Syiah dalam menilai sahabat khususnya Aisyah. Hal ini, dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui alasan dan landasan Syiah dalam menilai eksistensi sahabat Nabi. Adapun metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metodologi penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian library research, tenik penggalian data dengan dokumentasi . Hasil dari penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Syiah mempunyai ideologi tersendiri dalam menilai kredibilitas sahabat Nabi. Adapun landasan yang digunakan oleh Syiah dalam membangun ideologinya adalah al-Qur’an dan Hadis dengan ragam penafsirannya. sehingga menghasilkan simpulan bahwa semua sahabat Nabi setelah Nabi wafat adalah orang yang murtad kecuali sedikit dari mereka yang masih terselamatkan gamanya. Termasuk dalam kategori murtad adalah Aisyah. Ia orang yang cacat dan tidak bisa diterima periwayatannya.

On the basis of the conducted study of the peculiarities of the state policy of the oil refining industry, it has been determined that the oil refining industry occupies a significant part of the country’s fuel and energy complex, providing for the needs of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. At the same time, in the conditions of the global economy, Kazakhstan's oil-producing industry is experiencing problems due to anti-Russian sanctions, which make it difficult to implement the national policy of overcoming the raw orientation of the export of oil and oil products. The very fact of the presence of anti-Russian sanctions forms the field of intensifying competition between Russia and Kazakhstan in the European energy market and creates conditions for the use of methods of imperfect competition, for the use of political instruments in solving economic problems. This situation has a negative impact on the development of the oil production industry in both Russia and Kazakhstan, and requires its resolution, which becomes possible when the Kazakh oil sector moves to an innovative model of development based on the intensification of oil refining. Sanctions against Russia create significant difficulties due to the fact that Kazakhstan uses Russian transport infrastructure to trade with European Union countries. Therefore, the Republic of Kazakhstan needs to strive to reduce economic costs by insuring the transportation process of exported goods and subsidizing some additional costs. Kazakhstan is taking the initiative in mediating between the countries, trying to maintain relations with Russia through diplomacy, which it has conducted so far, as well as coping with the economic difficulties and political pressure that the country is facing in a balanced way. Thus, Kazakhstan continues its traditional multi-vector foreign policy strategy. Of course, the most effective and comprehensive solution for Kazakhstan, as well as for all countries in the region, is to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible.

Export has been taking a key role in a shaping economic agenda for the development of the country and enhancing competitiveness of the industries. This article reviews key state programme documents of promoting export and analyses achievement of their target indicators. Indicators are compared along with budget resources allocated for export promotion tasks and operators that convey support instruments. All analyzed state programs included target indicators and initiatives to promote domestic non-commodity export. To achieve these targets various measures and initiatives proposed in the last two decades. However, indicators often remained unachieved, as statistics on the volume of exports of the manufacturing industry investigated in the context of the programs’ implementation period. The pool of main measures of state support for exports was formed during 2010s with minor changes in subsequent policy documents. It was revealed that the implementation of the programs was accompanied by a frequent change of operators for the provision of state support measures, which quite possibly had a negative impact on the failure to achieve target indicators.
Feasibility of microsurgery in rural area as part of compulsory health service in Turkey: Replantation, free conventional, perforator, thin, and super thin flaps
Authors: Sakarya Ahmet Hamdi
Published: October 2023

Objective: Region six in Turkey, an underdeveloped area with limited doctors, lacks experienced healthcare professionals, teamwork, assistants, and instruments, which limits the performance of complex procedures. It is generally discouraged to attempt complex microsurgery in these regions. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of microsurgery and provide guidance for ambitious young plastic reconstructive surgeons performing microsurgery in underdeveloped areas as part of a compulsory service program.
Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent free flaps, replantation, and revascularization surgeries performed by the author, the sole plastic surgeon in the rural area, between August 2018 and August 2020. The analysis included operation notes, outpatient clinic notes, as well as pre-operative and post-operative pictures.
Results: A total of thirty-six microsurgical operations were performed on thirty-two patients. Two out of nineteen (10.5%) replantation attempts and one out of seventeen (5.8%) free flaps experienced failure. Among the flaps harvested, four were thin and four were super-thin. Furthermore, three out of five (60%) pediatric flaps encountered serious non-surgical complications, while most systemic complications were infection-related. All complications were effectively managed without the need for dispatch.
Conclusion: Microsurgery can be safely performed during the compulsory work period in the region six. Tips such as open-loop anastomoses, staff training, and easy means of flap monitoring can facilitate microsurgery. However, it may be prudent to consider avoiding such procedures in pediatric patients due to potential non-surgical complications and challenges with the dispatch system.
Prognostic importance of systemic immune inflammation index in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: Celtikci Basak , Sayin Gulensoy Esen
Published: October 2023

Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with various immunopathophysiological pathways. Therefore, several inflammatory, hematological and immunological biomarkers are essential for diagnosis, prognosis, and survival of COPD. Among these inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts were shown to have strong correlations with prognosis, survival and mortality. Recently, a novel inflammatory marker stated as systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were presented as the most accurate in predicting inflammatory status and prognosis in various clinical settings. We aimed to investigate whether SII can be a useful tool for predicting prognosis and survival in COPD patients.
Material and Methods: We aimed to evaluate retrospectively the effect of SII (the ratio of platelet and lymphocyte multiplication to neutrophil count) on the course of the COPD in 270 patients. The effect of hemogram values, spirometric measurements, such as FEV1, and CRP on the number of attacks in COPD patients seen in the outpatient clinic and the effect of SII on clinical or intensive care hospitalization in COPD patients were evaluated. Whether the SII correlates with symptoms and one-month survival in COPD patients were evaluated. FEV1 and CRP values, duration of hospitalization, smoking and modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scales were correlated among each other.
Results: mMRC was significantly correlated with FEV1(%) and FEV1(lt) levels, and CRP. The effects of mMRC, FEV1/FVC and smoking on survival in COPD patients were also significantly shown. CRP values were significantly correlated with WBC, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, and SII values. Unfortunately, SII values were non-significantly correlated with FEV1 values, duration of hospitalization, smoking and mMRC, due to earlier stage and small number of cases.
Conclusion: We investigated the clinical significance of SII on prognosis of COPD patients. SII might assist the identification of high-risk patients with low FEV1 and high CRP values. This study sheds light on future research on SII as a prognostic marker.

Az ökológiai környezet és az arra épülő gazdasági-társadalmi rendszer fenntarthatóságának megteremtése a 21. század legnagyobb feladata az emberiség számára, hiszen egyébként akár az egész emberi lét megmaradása veszélybe kerülhet. Azonban egy cél kitűzéséhez és eléréséhez mindig alapvető fontosságú, hogy mind a kitűzött állapotot, mind az odavezető utat mérni tudjuk. Ez a fenntarthatóság esetében is így van, azonban ez esetben nagyon komplex, többdimenziós rendszerről van szó, ebből adódóan az elérendő cél és az aktuális állapot, illetve az abban bekövetkező változás mérése is nagyon nehéz feladat. Ebben a cikkben röviden bemutatjuk a fenntarthatóság mérésére használt legfontosabb nemzetközi és hazai módszertanok jellemzőit, erősségeit, gyengeségeit, majd a levont következtetésekben összegezzük a mérési rendszerek közös pontjait és eltéréseit.

Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, Olivo García Edith , Moreno Beltrán Reyna , Mondragón Huerta Raquel
Published: October 2023

Education has gained increasing importance in the current context. Both teachers and students face difficulties due to the lack of knowledge in the use of technological tools and good practices of this type of learning. With the aim of improving academic performance and motivation in the learning process, an investigation was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of gamification and ubiquitous learning in higher education, taking into account the learning styles of students. The methodology used was Design-Based Research, using a quantitative approach and a convenience sample made up of several faculties of the Autonomous University of Queretaro, Mexico. Likert scale surveys were conducted before and after implementing gamification and ubiquitous learning practices. Subsequently, an analysis was performed using the T test for paired samples. The results showed a significant difference before and after the implementation of these practices, which supports the idea that students improved their academic performance and motivation in the teachinglearning process. The research concluded that the effectiveness of gamification and ubiquitous learning in higher education was due to the fact that a predominant learning style was considered in each group, thereby enabling the formulation of strategies to enhance students’ academic performance and motivation in the learning process.

Published: October 2023

The aim of this research was to explore the experiences of emergency remote teaching (ERT) during the covid-19 pandemic among students at a public university in the northwest region of Mexico. A descriptive correlational exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted with a nonprobabilistic sample of 1550 students. A survey was designed and validated by experts, and it was implemented online using the Microsoft Forms platform. Findings revealed that more than half of the students demonstrated very good or excellent proficiency in virtual platforms. Additionally, 28% of women experienced a difficult or very difficult adaptation process to the platforms, while this percentage was lower among men (20.9%). Students expressed that the academic performance of their instructors during ERT ranged from average to good, but the majority indicated that instructors were not adequately prepared to conduct classes in this modality, since teaching through virtual platforms requires planning and designing strategies. Despite both teachers and students became familiar with digital tools during the pandemic, it is recommended to encourage synchronous digital environments for teachers and explore didactic strategies for asynchronous ones.

The article examines successful practices and cases of financial provision for the reconstruction of critical infrastructure in countries of the world that once suffered from armed conflicts and active hostilities. The study of foreign experience shows the need to attract international funding mainly in the form of grants, focusing on the tasks of effective development of critical infrastructure using the mechanism of public-private partnership. At the same time, each country has its own specific features. It is determined that the main financial instruments used in the countries of the world for the restoration and modernization of critical infrastructure included the following: non-refundable financial assistance from the United States, loans, foreign direct investment, the State budget funds, funds of individuals and legal entities, grant funds, donor assistance from international financial organizations, financial assistance from non-governmental organizations, soft loans, reparations. Based on the generalization of international best practices, the prospects for the introduction of public-private partnership as a priority model and key principle of post-war reconstruction of critical infrastructure in Ukraine are determined. It is found that at present proper attention is not paid to the creation of institutional conditions for the development of critical infrastructure on the basis of public-private partnership in the context of the post-war reconstruction of the national economy. It is proposed to make amendments and additions to legislative and regulatory documents, as well as to develop a National Strategy for the Post-War Reconstruction of Critical Infrastructure in Ukraine and a Plan for its implementation, which will identify the relevant financial instruments and institutions. A structural diagram of the mechanism of financial provision for the post-war reconstruction of critical infrastructure in Ukraine is built, taking into account international practice.

The dynamic and global changes have led to the evolution of marketing as a modern theory of the firm’s behavior at the market along with the business philosophy. Taking into account the new challenges, the conception of marketing of opportunities, based on a new approach to business thinking, has been proposed and characterized. As a result of the changes that are taking place, a completely new reality is being formed, so the uncertainty is growing even more, fears and stupor are emerging, and the reaction of business is slowing down due to lack of experience and the misapprehension of how to proceed. Taking into account the inability of traditional management practices to solve business problems in new circumstances, a new model of business thinking has been formed, which provides for the speed of reaction to events and awareness of changes; optimism and a bold look into the future; inspiration and search for new opportunities; readiness and initiation of changes, proactivity of actions. Such a model is able to provide opportunities for regeneration and further development of the business, strengthen its resilience in any difficulties and further changes. In the context of marketing of opportunities, the transformation of the main principle of marketing «customer orientation» into «customer-centricity», and then into personification and individual approach is substantiated. Marketing is considered as an activity to create consumer value for the formation of a new customer experience to better meet individual needs, requests, interests, expectations of consumers, and solution of their life problems. The priority is the transition from standard solutions expected from the market to breakthrough ones, which in the near future are able to provide competitive advantages that go beyond the existing patterns and stereotypes, and are distinguished by tangible and obvious novelty. The conception of marketing of opportunities is aimed at creating a new or significantly updated, most importantly – unique product, service, brand in accordance with new consumer demands, challenges and achievements, able to provide leadership and business development prospects now and in the near future.

The aim of the article is to study the features of the integration of holistic marketing and digital technologies, allowing to transform the fashion industry and provide brands with the opportunity to find novel ways to express their identity and interact with their audience. Generalizing scientific approaches to defining the essence of the concepts of «holistic marketing» and «digital marketing», the article determines the relevance of integrating these two concepts as used in the fashion industry, which should foster the improving of the quality of goods and services, reinforcing the interaction between brands and consumers, thus increasing their role in the implementation of the conception of holistic marketing. It is substantiated that digital marketing allows fashion brands to increase their online presence through a variety of channels. Social media and other digital platforms allow brands in the fashion industry to interact directly with their audience through comments, messages, and reviews, thus providing manufacturers of clothing and accessories with additional opportunities to receive feedback from consumers and improve their assortment. Digital marketing allows fashion brands to reach an international audience and expand their global presence without significant infrastructure costs, a promotion can even be more cost-effective compared with traditional advertising. At the same time, the closure of some stores of foreign brands for security reasons, the change of seasons and the growing popularity of the domestic range of goods «made in Ukraine» created opportunities for the recovery of the fashion business in Ukraine. Digital platforms are used to convey information about a brand’s commitment to sustainable and ethical practices, which attracts the attention of socially conscious consumers. For example, the social project Under Sirens, organized in Europe, aims at drawing the world’s attention to the russian-led war going on in Ukraine. The fashionable Ukrainian brands labels incorporate soundtracks and, making use of augmented reality, turn into air raid sirens very alike to the alarms that howl in Ukrainian cities every now and then.

The aim of the article is to generalize and systematize the experience of formation of local budget revenues in the EU Member States. It is determined that the average value of the ratio of local budget revenues to GDP in 27 EU Member States for the period 2001–2022 is 12.24%, but the range of values of this indicator varies significantly by country. Thus, in island countries, such as Malta and Cyprus, this ratio is 0.58% and 1.69%, respectively, while in Denmark it constitutes 33.67%. Transfers have the highest fiscal significance in the structure of budget revenues of local budgets, followed by tax revenues. Tax revenues of local budgets include the category of local taxes and fees, as well as split revenues from national taxes (shared taxes). The category of the latter includes personal income tax and corporate tax. The article computes the degree of budgetary decentralization in the sphere of income in the EU countries. The most decentralized in terms of income are the Nordic countries, as well as countries with a three-tier budget system. In the sample of Central European countries that are members of the EU, the highest level of decentralization display the Czech Republic and Poland. The main source of tax revenues for local budgets is property taxes. The key advantages of including these taxes in the local ones are the immobility of the tax base, as well as the greater awareness of local authorities compared to the central authorities regarding the property status of residents of the territorial community, so it is a logical step that local authorities, in the vast majority of cases, set tax rates and determine tax benefits. It is found that in the EU Member States, in the vast majority of cases, two classic real estate objects – land and buildings – are taxed at the same time. However, in some cases, only land can be taxed – this practice is present, for example, in Estonia and Denmark, and in Lithuania, the Netherlands and Ireland, the object of taxation is buildings located on land plots, and the land itself is not subject to such taxation. The directions of increasing the fiscal efficiency of property taxes are substantiated.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022 and the ongoing war on Ukraine increased food security vulnerabilities around the world, creating new problems for the already volatile markets of the post-pandemic period. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of the «perfect storm» in the global economy on food security and identify directions for mitigating the emerging threats. It is proved that the existing food security crisis is caused by many factors, and there is also a need to restore global reserves. This process would be significantly accelerated if Ukraine were able to resume its role in the global food market. However, the war goes on, which continues to have a negative impact on production and generates uncertainty about food security. According to the results of the carried out analysis, it is determined that the interaction of international organizations in the field of food security and government agencies is a very important factor in solving issues of stabilizing the level of food security. Certainly, not all potential threats can be predicted if they are natural, geopolitical or of economic nature, but the interaction of FAO and similar organizations with analytical associations can contribute to a partial solution to this problem. It is substantiated that the transformation of the food sector should be inclusive, ensuring the active involvement of all its actors (for example, governments, international organizations, companies, farmers, etc.) in the development and implementation of targeted measures. In addition, this transformation is connected with the implementation of policies that reduce dependence on several exporting countries and replace corn and wheat with local crops, as well as the development of domestic food systems aimed at creating a network of short supply chains based on seasonal products. This will make it possible to mitigate the risks of food security in the global economy in the medium term.
