Authors: Windiana Wiwin , Ulpah Mariam
Published: August 2024

Behind the success of the government programs, various educational phenomena in Depok City must still be resolved, one of which is education for marginalized communities. “Marginalized people” is a more accurate description of the urban poor. Consequently, the paramount task for the government is to harness the potential of these underprivileged individuals through the promotion of inclusive education. The Masjid Terminal School (Master School) is one of the schools in Depok that provides inclusive education. A qualitative method with a case study approach is used in this study. Semi-structured interviews, classroom observations and post-observation interviews were conducted to collect the data. The findings of this study revealed that the challenges faced by students at Master School differ significantly from those encountered at other schools. Given that Master School is tailored for underprivileged students, economic hardships emerge as one of their most formidable obstacles. Nevertheless, students at Master School are afforded opportunities to enhance their capacities and skills while enrolled, as the school not only provides tuition-free lessons but also offers a variety of extracurricular activities open to all students. Furthermore, teachers and staff at Master School actively support students with a strong desire to pursue higher education, with many students having secured scholarships to study abroad.

The Republic, Secularism and Security France versus the Burqa and the Niqab by Raphael Cohen-Almagor. Switzerland: Springer. 2022.
This book contributes significantly in explaining ambivalence or paradoxical situations in France. Through its motto (liberté, égalité, fraternité), the country has been promoting and implementing liberalism and secularism for many years, yet at the same time, the country is increasingly illiberal, as shown by its policy banning the burqa and niqab in 2010.
Does Religious Identity Moderate Economic Voting? Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Budi Arya
Published: August 2024

Scholars have long suggested that economic voting is contingent on political factors, but how social identity contributes to such contingent economic voting has been overlooked. While the literature suggests the presence of direct function of religion on voting decisions, we are not sure about religion’s other functions. By treating religion as a social identity, this article seeks to uncover a moderating function of religion on economic voting. It draws on an embedded exit poll survey in Indonesian gubernatorial and mayoral elections in 2020, covering 9,400 respondents. This paper finds that the self-identification of religious identity moderates economic perception in the voting decision. Although the findings show strong evidence of economic voting, they challenge previous studies arguing that religion is a weak predictor in a new democracy with a Muslim-majority population. This paper contributes to the literature on economic voting and the role of religion in the voting decision.

Inclusión de personas con discapacidad en la universidad
Authors: Delfín Ruiz Claudia
Published: August 2024

La inclusión educativa de las personas con discapacidad ha ido evolucionando hacia un enfoque y respeto de sus derechos humanos, ya que se reconoce como un derecho fundamental para todos, independientemente de sus capacidades y limitaciones, por lo que es necesario trasladar esta idea también al acceso de estas personas a la educación superior. Este trabajo tiene el objetivo de analizar cómo ha sido la inclusión de las personas con discapacidad a la universidad; con una metodología que utilice la revisión de fuentes bibliográficas y/o documentales, en bases de datos de acceso abierto y donde para el análisis de éstas se utilizó, el análisis de contenido que utiliza tres niveles: sintáctico, semántico y pragmático. Los resultados reflejan que en la práctica no se ven reflejados elementos de inclusión ya que, al contrastar la congruencia de los proyectos de inclusión y los resultados, muestran que no se realizan realmente ni adecuaciones curriculares, ni capacitación a docentes y medianamente acciones de sensibilización sobre la discapacidad hacia toda la población universitaria. Por lo tanto, se concluye que la educación inclusiva, debe ser un compromiso adquirido por todos los involucrados en la comunidad universitaria, donde se abone e impulse el modelo de inclusión para que se realicen cambios sustantivos y realmente se pueda promover una verdadera cultura y práctica inclusiva.

Today, many plant species come to the fore with their medicinal potential. Plants are medically important natural resources. In our study, the biological activities of Equisetum ramosissimum were determined. Additionally, total phenolic and flavonoid contents were measured. The aboveground parts of the plant were extracted with ethanol and methanol. Antioxidant activities of the extracts were measured with Rel Assay TAS and TOS kits. Antimicrobial activity was determined against test bacteria and fungi using the agar dilution method. The anticholinesterase potential (anti-AchE and anti-BchE) of the extracts was determined by measuring acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase activities. Total phenolic content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Total flavonoid quantification was performed using aluminum chloride assay. As a result of the study, TAS values of ethanol and methanol extracts of the plant were determined as 4.802±0.090 mmol/L and 5.350±0.008 mmol/L, respectively. TOS values were determined as 7.643±0.189 µmol/L and 11.608±0.145 µmol/L, respectively. OSI values were determined as 0.159±0.005 and 0.217±0.006, respectively. It was determined that the plant extract was effective against bacterial strains at concentrations of 50-400 µg/mL and against fungal strains at concentrations of 50-200 µg/mL. In addition, the anti-AChE values of ethanol and methanol extracts were determined as 20.45±0.54 µg/mL and 16.70±0.43 µg/mL, respectively, and the anti-BChE values were determined as 40.07±0.90 µg/mL and 36.94±0.86 µg/mL, respectively. Total phenolic contents of ethanol and methanol extracts were determined as 161.30±3.51 mg/g and 199.11±1.96 mg/g, respectively, and total flavonoid contents were determined as 119.00±1.60 mg/g and 103.61±2.39 mg/g. As a result, it has been determined that Equisetum ramosissimum has a high biological potential and can be used as a natural material in pharmacological designs.

Cardiovascular disease has been a major cause of human mortality worldwide for many decades. One of the risk factors for atherosclerosis that is gaining clinical importance is serum lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) concentration. The purpose of this publication is to present current knowledge regarding Lp(a) and currently available investigational drugs that reduce serum Lp(a). We also present current recommendations for interventions aimed at reducing the cardiovascular risk associated with high serum Lp(a) concentration. Lipoprotein(a) is a variant of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) containing an additional glycopeptide chain called apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) covalently linked to apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100). Increased serum Lp(a) is a well-established independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and aortic stenosis. Unlike LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration, serum Lp(a) does not decrease significantly as a result of recommended lifestyle changes nor as a result of the use of major hypocholesterolemic drug classes. Approximately 20% of people worldwide have high serum Lp(a). Current recommendation is to perform a screen for serum Lp(a) at least once in one’s lifetime in general population. Effective lowering of serum Lp(a) falls into the category of urgent unmet medical needs. In the absence of effective drugs to reduce serum Lp(a) in individuals with elevated Lp(a), intensified control of other cardiovascular risk factors and in extreme cases therapeutic apheresis are strongly recommended.

Published: August 2024

Plants containing phenolic secondary metabolites such as tannins and flavonoids are of great interest due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial effects on health. Many species belonging to the Astragalus genus possess promising bioactive phyto-compounds and are used in folk medicine worldwide. In this study, extracts were obtained using two different solvents (ethanol and methanol) from the flowers and leaves of Astragalus angustifolius collected from two different locations in Kahramanmaraş. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of these extracts were compared, along with their total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Additionally, the fixed oil content of the extracts was examined using GC-MS analysis, revealing 8 different fatty acid components. The main fatty acid components of the plant extracts were found to be linoleic, oleic, and gamma-linolenic acids in high abundance at both locations. In the methanol extracts of A. angustifolius, total phenolic content ranged from 14.82 to 15.47 mg GAE/g dw in leaves and from 4.38 to 5.30 mg GAE/g dw in flowers. Similarly, flavonoid content ranged from 8.14 to 9.26 mg QE/g dw in leaves and from 5.08 to 5.20 mg QE/g dw in flowers. Leaves exhibited higher phenol and flavonoid content and antioxidant activity compared to flowers. Moreover, methanol was observed to be more successful than ethanol in retrieving the bioactive content of the plant material. This conclusion was confirmed by both antioxidant capacity tests such as FRAP and IC50 values, and the difference in phenol and flavonoid levels between leaves and flowers. Antimicrobial activity determination using the well-diffusion method showed that A. angustifolius leaf extracts had a broad spectrum of effects on test microorganisms.

Published: August 2024

Background and aims: 58 million people live with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection which can lead to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently, a non-interferon therapy based on direct-acting antivirals (DAA) is the standard treatment of HCV infection. This study aimed to assess the occurrence of HCC after treatment with DAA and evaluate whether the course of the disease and liver function is different in patients treated with DAA compared to those who did not receive such therapy.
Materials and methods: We studied the population of adult patients from the 2015-2021 period and analyzed the demographic and clinical data, including alcohol abuse, liver enzymes, Child-Pugh and model for end-stage liver disease  scores, imaging tests, liver biopsy and elastography, if performed. The Mann-Whitney U and the McNemar’s tests were used. The p-value was set at 0.05.
Results: The study included n=34 patients with HCC. In this group n=22 patients (61%) were diagnosed with a chronic HCV infection and n=11 (50%) were receiving DAA treatment. Patients who were receiving DAA developed multiple HCC significantly less often compared to patients not treated with DAA (45.5% vs. 69.6%). We also observed a significantly less common occurrence of portal vein thrombosis (8.7% vs. 18.2%) and distant metastases (0.0% vs. 13.0%) in patients with HCC receiving DAA. Patients with HCC who underwent DAA therapy had significantly lower levels of serum liver enzymes in comparison with patients diagnosed with HCC and not receiving DAA.
Conclusions: HCC occurring in patients treated with DAA was more often associated with lymphadenopathy, multiple tumors, portal vein thrombosis and distant metastases probably due to restricted treatment qualification criteria. DAA treatment led to a decrease in the inflammatory activity in the liver. It is important to adjust qualification protocols so that all patients suffering from chronic HCV infection could receive the treatment as soon as possible.

Published: August 2024

Foods are not eaten in isolation, and understanding how changes to one component impact others is vital. The recommendation to reduce meat consumption, e.g., from the Climate Change Committee, does so without reference to the wider diet. The proposed 30% reduction in meat (and dairy) has been described as “low cost, low regret”, but that does not appear to account for the cultural acceptability of what amounts to a significant reformulation of the UK diet.

Agriculture is an activity of utilizing biological resources by humans to produce food, industrial raw materials with the aim of fulfilling their needs. Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a horticultural commodity that has important economic value in Indonesia, so chili cultivation is very attractive to farmers. This study aims to determine the types of insects that are detrimental to chili plants. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research. This research was conducted from 16 December to 12 January 2023. This research was also carried out in the village of Sisarahili Ekholo, Lolowa'u District, Nias Selatan Regency. Identification is one of the ways or actions taken to find out the description of something being studied as a determinant or determination of identity, one example is insects (Insecta). Insects as a component of biodiversity have an important role in agricultural ecosystems, namely as herbivores, parasitoids, predators and environmental bioindicators. Based on the results of the research and discussion, it was found that the research obtained several types of insects, namely green grasshoppers (Atractomorpha), stinging bugs, stem and shoot borer insects (Scirpophaga innotata), green ladybugs (Hemiptera), and caterpillars. Suggestions from researchers are that people should be able to use appropriate techniques in exterminating insects on rice plants, because not all types of insects found on rice plants are harmful but some are beneficial such as: bees, butterflies and dragonflies and several other types of insects .

Objective: Identification of large scale structural polymorphisms (copy number variations [CNVs]) of more than 50 bp between the individuals of a species would help in knowing genetic diversity, phenotypic variability, adaptability to tropical environment and disease resistance.Methods: Read depth-based method implemented in CNVnator was used for calling copy number variant regions on sequenced data obtained from whole-genome sequencing from 15 pooled samples belonging to five draught cattle breeds of Tamil Nadu.Results: A total of 11,605 CNV regions (CNVRs) were observed covering a genome size of 18.63 percent. Among these, 11,459 were restricted to autosomes, consisting of 11,013 deletions, 353 duplications and 93 complex events. These CNVRs were annotated to 4,989 candidate genes. A total of 8,291 numbers of CNVRs were shared among the five cattle breeds as also supported by principal component analysis and STRUCTURE analyses and 1,172 CNVRs were breed-specific. Four out of five selected breed-specific CNVRs were validated using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Genes with CNVRs are related to milk production (BTN1A1, ABCA1, and LAP3), disease resistance (TLR4 and DNAH8), adaptability (SOD1, CAST, and SMARCAL1), growth (EGFR, NKAIN3), reproduction (BRWD1 and PDE6D), meat and carcass traits (MAP3K5 and NCAM1) and exterior (ATRN and MITF) traits. Gene enrichment analysis based on the gene list retrieved from the CNVRs disclosed over-represented terms (p<0.01) associated with milk fat production. NETWORK analysis had identified 13 putative candidate genes involved in milk fat percentage, milk fat yield, lactation persistency, milk yield, heat tolerance, calving ease, growth and conformation traits.Conclusion: The genome-wide CNVRs identified in the present study produced genomewide partial CNV map in indigenous cattle breeds of Tamil Nadu.

Objective: Oleanolic acid (OA) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid with antioxidant activity that can be an effective scavenger of free radicals in cells. This study was designed to investigate the effects of OA on porcine early embryo developmental competence in vitro and its possible mechanisms of action.Methods: In the present study, parthenogenetically activated porcine embryos were used as models to assess the effects of OA on the in vitro developmental capacity of early porcine embryos in vitro. Zygotic genome activation, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, cell proliferation and apoptosis in early porcine embryos were examined after supplementing the culture medium with 5 μM OA.Results: The results showed that 5 μM OA supplementation not only significantly increased the blastocyst diameter in early embryos on day 6 but also increased the total cell number of blastocysts. Furthermore, OA supplementation increased the blastocyst proliferation rate and decreased blastocyst apoptosis. Moreover, OA supplementation significantly increased the proportion of embryos that developed to the 4-cell stage after 48 h of in vitro culture and upregulated the expression of genes associated with zygotic genome activation (DPPA2 and ZSCAN4). Notably, OA alleviated oxidative stress by reducing the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and increasing the intracellular levels of reduced glutathione at the 4-cell stage and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. Concurrently, OA significantly increased the mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate content.Conclusion: These results suggest that OA promotes the in vitro developmental competence of parthenogenetically activated porcine embryos by reducing oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function during in vitro culture and that OA may contribute to the efficiency of in vitro embryo production.

Objective: This study categorized farm management levels to improve the productivity and uniformity of pork from pigs shipped from farms.Methods: A total of 48,298 pigs were grouped (A, B, C, D group) using the k-means algorithm, carcass weight and backfat thickness. The results of the grouping were used to classify Farm Management Grades (A, B, C, D grade).Results: The proportion of primal cuts in pigs, according to the new classification method, increased from group A to group D for shoulder blade, shoulder picnic, and ham, but decreased for loin and belly. In the regression analysis of the five primal cuts (shoulder blade, shoulder picnic, loin, belly, and ham) production (kg) for each group, all regression equations showed low errors (MAE<0.7), indicating that the model can predict the production of primal cuts by group. As the Farm Management Grade decreased, the proportion of pigs in the group with large differences from the mean of carcass weight and backfat thickness of the whole pig increased.Conclusion: The results of this study confirmed the differences in primal cut traits by pig grouping and created a method to classify farms who ship non-uniform pigs. This is expected to provide indicators for improvement and supplementation to farms that ship uneven pigs, helping to enhance the production of standardized pigs at the farm level.
Angelika Neurwirth And Qur'anic Textual Originality (Epistemological Analysis Of Emmanuel Kant's Perspective)
Authors: Afifah Farida Nur , Niam Khairun
Published: August 2024

This paper reviews Neuwirth's thoughts regarding the originality of the Qur'anic text. According to Neuwirth, the texts of the Qur'an have been considered unoriginal because they have been influenced by Jewish and Christian traditions because the sources and methodologies used still have flaws. In reviewing Neuwirth's thoughts, this research focuses on the epistemology of Angelika Neuwirth's thoughts related to the originality of the Qur'anic text. Departing from the theory used, this paper discusses three questions. First, the sources used by Neuwirth, the methodology used, and how the validity of truth related to the originality of the Qur'anic text according to Neuwirth. This research uses a qualitative method by using library research data collection techniques. The data sources used are primary and secondary. Primary sources of the author get from Neuwirth's writings related to the Qur'an and secondary sources obtained from studies with the same object of study such as journals and books. The data that has been collected will be reduced as needed and analyzed using Emmanuel Kant's epistemology. As for the results of this study, first, Neuwirth uses text sources in the context of late antiquity. Second, Neuwirth uses an intertextuality-based pre-canonization method with a literary and historical approach. This research still has shortcomings, meaning that further research can be carried out related to the epistemology of Neuwirth's angelic thought such as the implications of Neuwirth's thinking for the study of the Qur'an in the West, especially in the scope of scholarship in Indonesia.
Tafsir Basis Surat Perspective Abdul Hamid Al-Farahi: A Study Of The Concept Of Nazm And Its Application In The Interpretation Of Surah Al-Mursalat
Authors: Kholis Iskandar , Azhar Zulfikar , Ismail Fadli
Published: August 2024

Abdul Hamid al-Farahi is one of the Indian Muslim scholars who uses the interpretation of the letter based on the concept of nazm. Surah-based interpretation is interpretation that works on the letter of the Qur'an as a unified whole and has a unified theme (the sura as a unity). In this article, the author tries to explain the concept of nazm initiated by al-Farahi and how this concept is applied in the interpretation of the letter Al-Mursalat. The author uses qualitative research methods with data collection techniques through literature review. This paper shows that al-Farahi's nazm concept is a further development of the munasabah approach. Al-Farahi's concept of nazm emphasizes that each surah has an 'amud surah (central theme). 'Amud functions as a control over the resulting interpretation to build a unified letter. The application of the concept of nazm al-Farahi can be seen from his interpretation of the al-Mursalat letter. Al-Farahi stated that the 'amud of the letter revolves around warnings about the Day of Judgment, obedience to Allah, and doing good among fellow creatures. Thus, every interpretation of the verses in Surah Al-Mursalat must refer to the 'Amud of the Surah.

Authors: Rohman Abdul , Rustiana Mega
Published: August 2024

Muhammad Abduh is a modern mufassir whose thoughts are widely studied by scholars, one of which is about the verse of jihad. Abduh's ideas about the interpretation of the verse of jihad have inspired the birth of new thoughts that are more accommodating to the times. The purpose of this paper is to explore Abduh's thoughts on jihad in the Qur'an; implement and analyze the challenges of Abduh's jihad interpretation for modern Indonesian society; and analyze the positive and negative impacts of the implementation offer. The method used is library research with a content analysis approach. The results revealed that Abduh understood jihad was not limited to military and war aspects, spiritual, moral, social, and educational struggles also included the meaning of jihad. Jihad is also understood as a continuous effort to improve oneself and society, uphold justice, and advance science and social reform; the implementation of Abduh's meaning of Jihad is very relevant and in line with the needs of a plural and dynamic Indonesian society. By integrating education, dialog, and active involvement from all components of society, it can encourage the creation of a more just, peaceful, and advanced society. The challenge is that there is resistance and rejection from traditional circles that hold fast to old thinking; the positive impact of Abduh's thinking is to encourage the constructive contribution of Muslims in various aspects of life and inspire a peaceful and progressive renewal movement. Meanwhile, the negative impact is the potential for internal conflict, because his offer of thought will face the traditionalist thinking adopted by most Indonesians.

Physical Impairment or Disability? Three Cases of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip from Grote Kerk, Alkmaar, the Netherlands (A.D. 1716–1830)
Authors: Langlois Megan , Brickley Megan
Published: August 2024

Disability is part of the human experience, yet until recently, the lived experiences of individuals affected by physical impairment have been overlooked in bioarchaeological studies. Disability is a social construct; how we define disability is culturally specific, which makes identifying disability in archaeological contexts difficult. However, by defining disability as the inability to function within expected lifeways, it is possible to examine the effects of physical impairment on lived experiences and explore the construction of disability in historic contexts. Using a biocultural lens and robust cultural contextualization, this study examines the ability to function of three middle- to upper-class adult females from Grote Kerk, Alkmaar, the Netherlands (A.D. 1716–1830), with diagnoses of permanent, bilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). DDH results from an abnormality in the hip joint’s size, shape, or orientation and, when untreated, leads to loss of normal joint function and deteriorating quality of life. While DDH probably resulted in limited mobility and pain for all three individuals analyzed in the present study, there is little evidence to support disablement in the form of social restrictions. The findings add to the ongoing discussion of historic disability by examining the intersection of socioeconomic status, sex, and physical impairment in a post-medieval Dutch population and add data that can be used in estimating historic prevalence rates of DDH, which are variable across modern populations.

The existence of a curriculum policy (KMA 184) is due to internal challenges, namely learning Arabic in madrasas still tends to be structuralistic, less functional and less communicative. The external challenge is that the tendency of Arabic with the fushha (standard) pattern has shifted to the amiyah (market language) pattern. The Ministry of Religion establishes learning Arabic as a compulsory subject from the madrasah ibtidaiyah level to tertiary institutions at all educational institutions under its auspices. The curriculum changes and improvements are in order to develop the ability to communicate in Arabic, both spoken and written which includes four language skills namely, listening (Istima'), Speaking (Kalam), Reading (Qiraat), and writing (Kitabah) and is expected to be able to improve the quality of human resources. The type of research used is qualitative research whose data are presented descriptively. Based on the object, this research is library research. The data are collected by citing, then concluding, so that the result of this research is that curriculum policy in learning Arabic in Indonesia is carried out in a balanced and proportional manner, this can be seen in using the approach and models in each phase of curriculum change.
