As elevadas perdas de nitrogênio (N) pela volatilização da amônia (NH3) comprometem a eficiência das adubações nitrogenadas em pastagens devido a ação da enzima urease presente no solo. Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a eficiência da aplicação de inibidores de urease e nitrificação à ureia na mitigação das perdas de N-NH3. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 6 tratamentos que consistiram da aplicação em totalidade de 150 kg ha-1 de N revestidos com 5 produtos comerciais: 1) UR convencional; 2) UR + Eco Coat® 20% de NBPT + DCD; 3) UR + Eco Coat® 20% de NBPT; 4) UR + NitrogeDuo® 20% de NBPT; 5) UR + NitrogeDuo® 10% de NBPT e 6) UR + NitrogenDuo® 2,5% de NBPT, dotados de 4 repetições. Em cada parcela foram instalados coletores de NH3 modelo semiaberto estático de PVC, sendo as coletas e trocas de espumas realizadas aos 1º, 2º, 3º, 5º, 9º, 13º e 17º dias após a adubação. Ao final do experimento colheu-se a biomassa aérea para determinação da produção de massa seca de forragem. O teste Tukey (p<0,05), caracterizou superioridade estatística para os inibidores sobre a UR convencional a qual registrou perdas acumuladas de N-NH3 de 53% do total de N aplicado. Todos os produtos foram eficientes na redução das perdas de N-NH3 em 93 e 87% em comparação a UR convencional, porém, sem diferirem estatisticamente entre si. O pico de máxima volatilização ocorreu no 2º dia após a adubação (33%) para UR convencional, e no 5º dia para UR tratada (média de 4%). Para produção de massa seca de forragem, a análise de variância não identificou diferença estatística entre os tratamentos. Independente das formulações, todos os produtos testados foram eficientes em reduzir as taxas de volatilização de NH3, configurando opção agronômica viável para o manejo da adubação nitrogenada em pastagens.

Authentic Interpretation of The Hadith 'You Know Better About Your Worldly Affairs'
Authors: Arfan Arfan , Muhammadiyah Amin  , La Ode Ismail Ahmad  , A. Nur Afni
Published: June 2024

This study aims to generate an authentic interpretation of the hadith "You know better about your worldly affairs," analyzed from the aspects of sanad (chain of narration), matan (text), cause of revelation, and intertextuality with Quranic verses and other hadiths. The research method employs a qualitative approach with library research. Data is collected through in-depth study of authentic hadith and tafseer literature. Data analysis techniques apply an interactive content analysis model covering data reduction, data display, drawing and verifying conclusions. The findings reveal that human life is divided into two domains: the hereafter (faith and worship) which must be guided by Islamic texts, and the worldly domain (etiquette and transactions) which is further divided into matters that have been regulated in detail in the texts and matters that have not. The hadith about "you know better about your worldly affairs" belongs to the latter category which has no detailed regulations from the syariah. Although general ('aam) in meaning, this hadith only applies to areas without detailed rules from the syariah. Thus, the Prophet's ijtihad could be right or wrong in this domain. This does not contradict Surah al-Najm:3-4 since it pertains specifically to the Quran's truth, not all sayings of the Prophet. Therefore, an authentic interpretation is obtained in line with the research objectives.
Penelitian ini bertujuan menghasilkan interpretasi autentik atas hadis “Kalian lebih paham tentang urusan dunia kalian”, dikaji dari aspek sanad, matan, sebab wurud, dan intertekstualitas dengan ayat al-Quran dan hadis lain. Metode penelitian menggunakan kualitatif dengan pendekatan kepustakaan. Data dikumpulkan melalui telaah mendalam pada literatur hadis dan tafsir otentik. Teknik analisis data menerapkan content analysis model interaktif meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan dan verifikasi simpulan. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa kehidupan manusia terbagi dua wilayah: ukhrawi (akidah dan ibadah) yang harus berpedoman pada nas, dan duniawi (adab dan muamalah) yang terbagi lagi menjadi yang telah diatur secara rinci dalam nas dan yang belum. Hadis tentang “kalian lebih paham urusan dunia” termasuk kategori kedua yang belum diatur rinci. Meskipun bersifat ‘ām, hadis ini hanya berlaku pada bidang tanpa aturan rinci dari syariat. Maka ijtihad Nabi bisa benar dan bisa salah. Hal ini tidak bertentangan dengan QS al-Najm:3-4 karena berkaitan dengan kebenaran al-Qur’an, bukan semua ucapan Nabi. Dengan demikian, diperoleh interpretasi autentik sesuai tujuan.
Środkowoeuropejskie źródła architektury i dekoracji kościoła oraz klasztoru Dominikanów w Sandomierzu – nowe hipotezy badawcze
Authors: Kamińska Justyna
Published: June 2024

Artykuł prezentuje nowe hipotezy dotyczące możliwych związków warsztatowych między kościołem i klasztorem Dominikanów w Sandomierzu a realizacjami powstałymi na przełomie XII i XIII w. na terenie Europy Środkowej, zwłaszcza Starej Marchii (dzisiaj Jerichower Land w Saksonii Anhalt). W tekście podjęto polemikę z powtarzaną w literaturze przedmiotu opinią, że warsztat budowlany odpowiedzialny za wzniesienie kościoła pw. św. Jakuba pochodził z terenów Lombardii. Ponadto przeanalizowano krytycznie teorie Zofii Gołubiew, która w monografii poświęconej temu kościołowi szukała genezy rozwiązań zastosowanych w Sandomierzu na terenach Niemiec, Austrii i Szwajcarii. W tekście zwrócono także uwagę na XIII-wieczne elementy założenia, które wykazują podobieństwo do realizacji lokalnych, z terenów Małopolski i Śląska. Analizując ceramiczne dekoracje korpusu nawowego i wschodniego skrzydła klasztoru, wskazano na tradycję wytwarzania ceramicznych reliefowych płytek posadzkowych, powszechną pod koniec XII i w XIII w. na terenie Europy Środkowej, w tym m.in. w klasztorze Dominikanów w Krakowie, gdzie produkcję pierwszych płytek tego rodzaju datuje się na początek lat 40. XIII w.

Published: June 2024

XXIII Międzynarodowy Kongres Historii Sztuki, który odbył się w Granadzie w 1973 r., stanowił punkt zwrotny w stosunkach między historykami sztuki z Hiszpanii czasów generała Franco i ich kolegami z PRL. Pierwsze kontakty zostały nawiązane już w latach 50. XX w. dzięki wyjazdom Jana Białostockiego i Lecha Kalinowskiego m.in. do Madrytu i Barcelony. Ich wzmocnienie nastąpiło w latach 60. dzięki organizacji dwóch wystaw poświęconych sztuce hiszpańskiej w Krakowie i Poznaniu. Dopiero jednak kongres w Granadzie pozwolił polskiej delegacji zyskać nowe istotne doświadczenia. Artykuł analizuje polsko-hiszpańskie relacje w zakresie historii sztuki, które wcześniej pomijano zapewne ze względu na „peryferyjne” położenie polskiej i hiszpańskiej historii sztuki w geografii dyscypliny z okresu zimnej wojny.

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) behavior are issues that should not be allowed to occur in the educational environment, which should uphold ethical values concerning integrity, accountability, and respect for fellow human beings. Unfortunately, sexual violence continues to occur in various countries, including Indonesia. The purpose of this community service project is to provide Prevention and Management Education on OGBV so that students and educators can understand and identify GBV, especially OGBV. The community service activities were conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Bantan, Bengkalis Regency, by providing basic knowledge about gender and gender inequality that can lead to the emergence of OGBV. The method used in these activities was a workshop that required active participation from male and female students to discuss and provide examples of proactive steps to prevent OGBV. The results of this community service project indicate a 34.81% increase in students' understanding of OGBV. This increase was obtained from the pre-test and post-test results conducted by students after participating in the OGBV education activities. The enhanced understanding of OGBV by students following this community service project highlights the importance of education and awareness regarding OGBV. Consequently, it is hoped that this will contribute to efforts to break the chain of gender-based violence in general.

Authors: Naveed Hira , Nasir Ghulam Mujtaba , Fatima Ghazala
Published: June 2024

Background: Suicide, defined as a fatal self-injurious act with intent to die, is a significant public health concern worldwide. Loneliness, depression, and trauma are linked to suicidal ideation, and methods of suicide vary across regions. This study focuses on evaluating factors influencing suicidal ideation and behavior in a tertiary care hospital in Punjab, Pakistan.
Subject and Method: A quantitative survey was completed as part of a cross-sectional study among patients who had attempted suicide in order to determine the magnitude of suicidal ideation and behavior. A pre-tested questionnaire was employed, and a random sample of 62 people was used. The data was compiled, assembled, and jotted down using Google Forms. Data analysis and computation have been done via SPSS version 22.
Result: An examination of the data revealed and unacceptably high occurance of suicide.( prevalence)  The majority felt life was not worth living, and many believed their families would be happier without them. Thoughts like "You’ll be sorry when I’m gone" were common, and 48 survivors had the thought "I won’t be in your way much longer" before attempting suicide. Another frightening factor was that most of the patients were in their early twenties.
Conclusion: The findings reveal high rates of suicidal thoughts among survivors of suicide attempts. Factors include hopelessness and a lack of understanding. So, there is a dire need for proper counselling and early recognition of problems. Comprehensive suicide prevention strategies and mental health support systems are crucial to addressing risk factors and providing effective intervention.

Published: June 2024

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is known as an obstructive pulmonary disease it causes particular small airway obstruction. Currently available medications for COPD are not able to reduce the progressive deterioration of lung function. The current study aims to determine the effectiveness of doxofylline and theophylline in improving the pulmonary functions in stable COPD patients.
Methods: A Randomized controlled trial was conducted on a total of 80(40 in each group). Stable COPD patients (FEV1/FVC < 0.70) patients visiting the outpatient department of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for treatment and fulfilling inclusion criteria were enrolled to participate in the study. Both groups were given standard long-acting bronchodilator therapy such as salmeterol inhaler 25mcg twice daily. Group A was given theophylline, while group B was given doxofylline. Independent sample t-test was applied to compare the spirometry findings in both groups by using SPSS 25.0.  A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: In current study it was reported that the 36 (45.0) of patients were 30-40 years old. The majority of patients were male 68(85.0%) and suffered from COPD. There was an increased improvement in spirometric parameters among both groups. The both groups have same effect on spirometric parameters in terms of FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and FEC1% prediction. Both drugs increase the spirometry functionality. (p-value > 0.05). There was significant difference among side effect of both groups. Doxophylline was found to have fewer side effects compared to theophylline. (P value< 0.05)
Conclusion: It was concluded that the both drugs theophylline and doxofylline revealed consistent improvement in spirometric outcomes (FEV1, FVC, and the FEV1/FVC ratio) with the passage of time in COPD. The current study demonstrates that both drugs have a equal efficacy and safety profile than theophylline in patients with COPD.

Authors: Farrukh Khadija , Mehr Yasmeen
Published: June 2024

Background: There is growing evidence in literature on how student autonomy promotes motivational and well-being in medical students. Now a day there is lots of stress on medical students, mentoring is a simple technique to support our students but how mentors are to be train to give effective support is another challenge. Our study aims to explore the awareness of mentors on impact of mentor-mentee relation on autonomy development of mentees in health professional education. Mentor-mentee relationship can supports or constrain autonomy development of mentees this study explored the phenomenon from mentor perspective.
Methodology: Qualitative case study design and interpretivist paradigm was used; study duration was six months in bahria university health sciences campus. Data was collected using unstructured interviews until data was saturated. Four individual interviews of mentors using video eliciations, in which mentors reflected on their recent mentoring interaction with mentees and two focus group discussion of 90-120 minutes duration. Eight mentors were included in each focus group discussion. Total of twenty mentors participated in study by fulfilling inclusion creteria. Open-ended non-directive questions were asked. Self- determination theory was used for guiding interviews. Pattern matching was used for data analysis, it seeks to condense the participant’s response to thematic units and synthesis of essential themes in order to describe them.
Results: Essential themes were identified after data analysis, “Conversation on behavior change”, “uncertainty on the extent to which they impact autonomy” and “social Factors”
Conclusion: Mentors were not certain on the extent to which they impact autonomy in mentees. Mentors training is required to develop skills of autonomy- supportiveness. Mentors should have clear guidelines regarding autonomy supportiveness well-being and professional growth. Autonomy supportiveness should continue parallel to professional identification development in undergraduate medical students.

Dapatkah Tamar Berbicara? (Kajian Hermeneutik Poskolonial Feminis Terhadap Teks 2 Samuel 13:1-22 dalam Perspektif Pengalaman “Kawin Tangkap” di Sumba)
Authors: Lena Iston Umbu Kura , Setyawan Yusak Budi , Tampake Tony Robert Christian
Published: June 2024

Women in a patriarchal culture are always required to be submissive, obedient, and silent. Therefore, when women become victims of forced marriage (kawin tangkap) that lead to sexual violence, their voices are silenced as a form of submission and obedience, as experienced by Tamar in the book of 2 Samuel 13:1-22. The purpose of this study is to describe Tamar’s experience as a victim of “forced marriage” by her own brother, Amnon. The research method used is qualitative with a feminist postcolonial hermeneutic study. This approach brings back the experiences of women who have been ignored or silenced to be heard or voiced again. Using Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s theory of subaltern, my main argument is that Tamar’s experience as a victim of forced marriage was silenced because of the interests and purpose of men, namely Amnon and Absalom. The result shows that Tamar was able to speak out about her experience, but her voice was silenced, not only because of the patriarchal culture that was so strong in the community but also because of the political interests in it, namely the power struggle between Amnon and Absalom. The conclusion of this research is that the silencing of women’s voices and experiences, namely Tamar as a victim, is the result of a patriarchal culture.

Alam adalah rumah bersama bagi seluruh makhluk hidup, karena itu maka kelestariannya harus dijaga agar memberikan kualitas  hidup yang baik bagi seluruh makhluk hidup yang tinggal di dalamnya. Untuk mewujudkan keharmonisan antar makhluk hidup sebagai penghuni alam, maka gagasan etika lingkungan dapat menjadi alat untuk mempromosikan kelestarian ekosistem lingkungan hidup di planet Bumi. Artikel ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengeksplorasi gagasan spiritualitas ekologi transformatif pada masyarakat adat samin-sedulur sikep, dan menganalisa keterhubungan masyarakat adat samin-sedulur sikep sebagai human dengan alam yang menempatkan entitas diluar manusia sebagai sedulur (saudara). Dalam mendiskusikan spiritualitas ekologi yang transformatif, artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan ekofeminis dan paradigma masyarakat adat. Telaah ini menunjukan bahwa masyarakat adat samin-sedulur sikep menempatkan alam dalam relasi inter-subjektif, sehingga memiliki peluang untuk dikonstruksi dalam sebuah diskursus etika lingkungan yang transformatif agar dapat menciptakan perdamaian ekologis demi keutuhan ciptaan. Dengan demikian, gagasan paradigmatik pada epistemologis modern yang menempatkan manusia sebagai antroposentris dan alam sebagai objek, dapat digeser dengan paradigma epistemologi pengetahuan lokal masyarakat adat.

This research uses qualitative methods with descriptive research type. Data collection was carried out by means of interviews, observation and documentation. The research results show that first, the communication focus still needs to increase clarity and consistency in the coordination process of policy implementers so that it has not been implemented well. Second, the focus on resources still requires an increase in the number of PT Coordinator staff so that it has not been implemented well as a whole. Third, the focus of disposition, namely cognition, implementing responses, and response intensity can be said to have been implemented well as a whole.
