زيارة عاشوراء المروية عن الإمام الباقر "ع"- دراسة تحليلية
Authors: عباس اشواق
Published: February 2025

عندما نقرأ زيارة عاشوراء نجد الكثير من الألفاظ مأخوذة من الاحاديث القدسية للنبي محمد (ص) تجلت الاستعارة بمضامينها العقائدية في مختلف اصول الدين ,حيث انها وردت بطريق قدسي مروي عن الإمام محمد بن علي الباقر (غ) , بينت أمورا عديدة منها:
- اللعن مفهوم قرآني أصيل ، وأن النبي (ص) لعن من لعنهم الله (عز وجل)،
- الأمة التي خالفت وصية رسول الله (ص) بشأن من يخلفه في أمور المسلمين, هي التي اسست اساس الظلم لأهل البيت (ع) .
- أحلك العهود التي مرت بأهل البيت (ع) هو عهد معاوية بن ابي سفيان وابنه يزيد ,
- شمولها على الفاظ تحاكي واقعة الطف واستعظام ما جرى يوم عاشوراء على الإمام الحسين (ع)
- تكرار اللعن المتواصل والمضاعف على اعداء الإمام الحسين (ع) والبراءة منهم.
Historical factors for the emergence of ascetic schools in the Islamic East
Authors: Al-Hussainawi Dr. Abdul Redha Hassan Jiyad
Published: February 2025

This research shows the Muslims' asceticism in worldly matters, their belittling of them, their underestimation of their importance, their lack of being affected by their adornments and pleasures, their preference for what is stated in the heavens and their guidance by it, and their firm steps towards success on the Day of Judgment, and winning the pleasure of Allah Almighty. Asceticism in worldly matters is righteousness in this world and success in the Hereafter, and this is what every Muslim who believes in Allah and the Sunnah of His Noble Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) desires. Islamic asceticism was born with the birth of Islam and was and still is one of the noble morals, strengthened and established by our Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and asceticism appeared in Islam and is part of a tolerant belief whose essence is morality, justice, and equality among the members of one society, and this is what the noble companions (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) commanded, just as they believed in the principles of their true Islamic religion.

The President of the Republic in Iraq
Authors: Al-Shukri Dr. Ali Youssef
Published: February 2025

Since the fall of the monarchy in Iraq in 1958, interim constitutions have been issued in succession, followed by dictatorships leading military coups and ruling the executive authority, each claiming that it came to save the nation from the woes of a defunct regime. These constitutions were crowned by the 1970 interim constitution, which remained in effect until the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003. This stage was followed by the issuance of the Law of Administration for the Transitional Period, and this law interpreted the phrase (transitional period) as the stage required to draft a permanent Iraqi constitution and form a new Iraqi government, with the last date for its formation being December 31, 2005. On October 15, 2005, the Iraqi people held a referendum on the permanent constitution, which was the first after the fall of the monarchy. This constitution adopted a federal parliamentary republican system, but did not mention the expression constitutional, central, or federal union in its texts. But the discussions of drafting this constitution, its debates, and the conflicts between the political forces and movements and the constitutional institutions that stipulated it, all indicate that the constitutional legislator adopted the federal system.

Phaseolus lunatus plays an essential role in soil nutrition and fertility. However, poor seed saving practices often lead to significant post-harvest losses, reducing germination rates and crop yields. To solve these problems, it is necessary to understand how conservation methods affect seed quality and plant development. This study aimed to assess the effects of storage methods and morphotypes (M1 and M2) on germination performance and morphological traits of Phaseolus lunatus. The research was conducted at Jean Lorougnon GUEDE University. The experimental set-up was a randomised block design with two replications. Seeds of the two morphotypes were stored under different conditions (as pods and as shelled seeds) before being sown. Germination parameters, including emergence rate and time, as well as morphological characteristics such as plant height, number and size of leaves, were recorded and analysed using statistical methods. The results showed that storing hulled seeds significantly improved germination rates and reduced emergence time compared with storage in pods. Plants grown from hulled seeds also showed improved morphological characteristics. Among the morphotypes, M2 systematically outperformed M1, indicating greater genetic and physiological adaptability. This study highlights the crucial role of optimised seed preservation methods in improving the productivity of Phaseolus lunatus. Preservation of shelled seeds proved to be the most effective strategy. The superior performance of the M2 morphotype highlights its potential for breeding programs aimed at improving agricultural resilience and food security in resource-limited regions.

Published: February 2025

Objective: Clinical symptoms of Paget's disease of the nipple include malignant crusting or ulceration in the nipple-areola region, along with chronic eczematous alterations followed by throbbing pain or itching. When a biopsy is not performed after developing suspicion, the diagnosis is delayed. In this study, we sought to present the patients who had undergone histopathologic testing in our institution and received the diagnosis of Paget disease of the nipple. Patients and Methods: Retrospective evaluations were performed on patients who had a Paget's disease of the nipple diagnosis prior to January 2020. Patients were located in the pathology laboratory's archived records. Computer data, outpatient clinic records, and epicrises of individuals sent to the surgical service were examined after identifying the patients whose records were reviewed. Age, presenting ailment, and histopathologic diagnosis of the patients were examined. Results: The pathology archive's computer records for the patients were examined. The research had six patients that were eligible and met the requirements. The average age of the patients, who were all female, was 66.5 12.75 years (55-88). The other four patients also had nipple eczema, while two of the patients also had a breast lump. Conclusions: Chronic nipple or areola dermatoses should have a biopsy for histological evaluation, particularly if they continue after three weeks of topical therapy.

Published: February 2025

The treatment of cataract-related blindness is surgical, allowing for vision restoration. The objective of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of adult cataract surgery at a secondary ophthalmology center. This was a prospective and descriptive study of adults undergoing cataract surgery through extracapsular extraction over a 6-month period. Results were analyzed using the Monitoring Cataract Surgical Outcome (MCSO) software and compared to WHO standards. Out of 163 eyes from 141 patients, 160 eyes (98.2%) received posterior chamber implants, with a mean age of 65.1 years. Visual acuity was ≥3/10 with correction in 54% of cases, while 8.6% had poor visual acuity (<1/10). The proportion of patients with good outcomes increased to 76.6% with better correction, while 6.3% had poor outcomes. Posterior capsule rupture was the most common intraoperative complication (62.5%). These results are below WHO standards and highlight causes of poor outcomes, primarily refractive errors (36.4%) and sequelae (27.2%). Identifying these causes emphasizes the need to improve surgical skills, equipment, and postoperative refraction.

Published: February 2025

Non penetrating blunt chest trauma due to motor vehicle accidents are a daily occurrence in society. However, it is rare for patients to develop traumatic valve regurgitation in isolation [1]. We describe a case of a 22-year-old gentleman who presented with chest pain and acute heart failure symptoms following a motor vehicle accident. Initial ECHO showed a ruptured non coronary cusp of the aortic valve, with severe aortic valve regurgitation. Operation done through a midline sternotomy confirmed the findings, which was duly replaced with a bioprosthetic valve. Early detection, which might be difficult due to masking from coexistent injuries and prompt planning for a surgical repair yields a high success rate, and ensures safe outcome with excellent recovery.

Published: February 2025

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria, characterized by extensive oil and gas activities, frequently experiences gas flaring, a significant environmental concern. This study aims to investigate the temporal variations in environmental quality near the Kokori-Erhoike Flow Station in Kokori Community, Delta State, with a focus on assessing pollution levels in air, water, and soil. Samples were collected from various strategic locations around the flow station, including air, water, and soil samples. Samples were analyzed for a range of parameters including Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), heavy metals (such as zinc, chromium, cadmium, lead, and copper), and physicochemical properties like pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and electrical conductivity. The analytical methods employed included Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) for heavy metal analysis, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectometry (GC-MS) for TPH. Significant findings revealed elevated levels of PM10, and PM2.5 in the air, particularly during the June period, with PM2.5 concentrations exceeding WHO limits. Water sample analysis indicated high concentrations of TPH, especially in the June period, with levels rising from 1.67 mg/L to 2.91 mg/L at specific locations. Heavy metal contamination in water samples showed concentrations of lead (Pb) up to 0.54 mg/L and cadmium (Cd) up to 1.42 mg/L, surpassing WHO guidelines. Soil samples also exhibited high levels of heavy metals, with cadmium (Cd) concentrations up to 1.72 mg/kg and lead (Pb) concentrations up to 10.46 mg/kg. Pearson's correlation analysis highlighted strong positive correlations, such as between cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) (r = 0.876, p < 0.01), and zinc (Zn) and chromium (Cr) (r = 0.821, p < 0.01), suggesting common pollution sources, such as industrial discharges and agricultural runoff. The findings of this study indicate significant environmental degradation in the vicinity of the Kokori-Erhioke Flow Station due to gas flaring activities.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of e-procurement in procuring goods and services and identify supporting factors and obstacles based on the East Java Governor's Regulation. The research was conducted at the Regional Coordinating Agency for Government and Development (Bakorwil) III Malang. The data analysis technique in this research uses qualitative descriptive analysis. The research findings show that implementing policies based on Governor Regulation No. 61 of 2021 concerning using electronic systems for procuring goods and services in Bakorwil III Malang still has several obstacles. From the communication aspect, socialization has not been carried out thoroughly with all personnel, so policy information has not been conveyed properly. Human resources have understood the procurement process, but policy implementation requires the support of all personnel. Leadership commitment has not been firm in encouraging policy implementation, as seen from the absence of an official memorandum and related SOPs. Supporting factors include skilled human resources and adequate facilities, while obstacles include lack of socialization, internal communication, and constraints on electronic storefronts. Policy implementers are expected to conduct socialization and training, make SOPs and internal affirmations, and manage electronic storefronts to improve the implementation of goods and services procurement policies in Bakorwil III Malang.

Published: February 2025

Students are vulnerable to experiencing loneliness. Students with high psychosocial pressure such as loneliness and depression tend to be more comfortable interacting socially online than social activities in person, and one of them is making parasocial relationships an alternative. This study looked at whether there was a relationship between the level of loneliness and parasocial relationships in K-Pop fan students. The sample of this study was 159 respondents and the sampling technique was purposive. Data was collected by questionnaire. In measuring loneliness variables, they adapted a questionnaire from the research of J.D.J. Gierveld and Van Tilburg. Meanwhile, parasocial relationships are measured by the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) created by Maltby. The results of the study showed that students who were interested in K-pop had a moderate level of loneliness (80%) and a moderate level of parasocial relationship (73%). Using a simple linear regression with a significance level of 5%, the study found that the R Square value was 0.243, which means that there was a relationship between loneliness and parasocial relationships in k-pop fan students, which was 24.3% so that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the null hypothesis (H0) were rejected.

Authors: Arliny Yunita , Muarif Muhammad Fadjar , Mahdani Wilda , Yanifitri Dewi Behtri
Published: February 2025

Background: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is treated with second-line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs which are comparatively less effective and more toxic. The increased toxicity of the drugs may lead to the occurrence of side effects throughout the treatment. The study aims to assess DR-TB patients' side effects and clinical profile at the dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh.
Methods: Observational descriptive study of DR-TB patients who underwent treatment from 2020 to 2022 at dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh. The data was taken from medical records of patients which are then analysed using univariate analysis.
Results: Out of 49 patients, most of them were male with 23 people (65,3%), belonging to the age group of 46-55 with 11 people (22,4%), worked as entrepreneurs with 11 people (22,4%), and most came from Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar with 14 people each (28,6%). Twenty-seven patients (65,1%) were suspected of secondary infection, most of which were cases of relapse from 10 people (20,4%). 39 of the patients (79,6%) had rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis. 36 patients (73,4%) were given individualized treatment with Lfx – Bdq – Lzd – Cfz – Cs being the most common drug combination given to 16 people (32.7%). All patients experienced side effects from the treatment, with the most common being nausea from 28 people (57,1%) followed by peripheral neuropathy from 19 people (38,8%).
Conclusion: Side effects are commonly found in the treatment of DR-TB and may become more prevalent as the treatment continues. Educating the patient and treating side effects is important to maintain patient compliance.

Authors: Adhiputri Artrien , Hapsari Brigitta Devi Anindita , Reviono Reviono , Alfarizi Aditya , Damayanti Raninditya
Published: February 2025

Background: In the intensive care unit (ICU), critically sick pneumonia has a high mortality rate, so forecasting the prognosis is crucial for making decisions. Early detection of clinical deterioration and the implementation of early intervention and care can be achieved through the use of scoring systems. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scoring system is a better system in predicting mortality in critically ill patients. However, in this study, we aim to observed  the use of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score as a predictor of mortality and length of stay (LOS).
Methods: From April to August 2023, we treated 125 critically sick pneumonia patients in the ICU as part of a prospective observational research. An integrated ICU mortality calculator was used to assess the performance of the APACHE II, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II), and SOFA scores. Descriptive statistics will be used for data analysis, and the Fisher exact test and Chi-square test will be used for testing. logistic regression and linear regression methods are used in multivariate analysis. If the p-value is less than 0.05, it will be statistically significant.
Results: APACHE II, SAPS II, and SOFA scores were significant in predicting the outcome of critically ill pneumonia patients (cut-off of ≥14.5, ≥34.5, and ≥3.5, respectively). The Spearman rank correlation for LOS shows that APACHE II, SOFA, and SAPS II scores have a very weak relationship with the p-values are 0.121, 0.766, and 0.436, respectively.
Conclusion: The SOFA score is a good mortality predictor in critically ill pneumonia patients yet is simpler and easier to use in all settings in the hospital.

IMPACTOS DA QUEDA DA COBERTURA VACINAL NA REINTRODUÇÃO DE DOENÇAS IMUNOPREVENÍVEIS: UMA REVISÃO DA LITERATURA
Authors: Costa Larissa Pereira , Martins Lívia Mattos
Published: February 2025

A queda da cobertura vacinal tem gerado impactos significativos na saúde pública, aumentando o risco de reintrodução de doenças imunopreveníveis, que estavam praticamente erradicadas ou sob controle. O estudo tem por objetivo identificar os impactos da queda da cobertura vacinal na reintrodução de doenças imunopreveníveis. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão de literatura, realizada em novembro de 2024 na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde e Google Acadêmico utilizando-se os descritores “cobertura vacinal”, “imunização”. Foram selecionados estudos em português, dos últimos 5 anos, com texto completo disponível gratuitamente. A redução da cobertura vacinal é uma realidade enfrentada na última década que enfraquece a imunidade coletiva, tornando a população mais vulnerável ao surgimento de surtos de doenças evitáveis. Fatores como a disseminação de informações falsas, o movimento antivacinas e a resistência a programas de imunização têm contribuído para essa diminuição na adesão às vacinas. A pandemia de COVID-19 também agravou ainda mais essa situação, uma vez que provocou a interrupção de campanhas de vacinação e o deslocamento de recursos para o enfrentamento da crise sanitária, comprometendo o calendário de imunização e gerando receios sobre a segurança das vacinas. A reintrodução dessas doenças não afeta apenas os indivíduos não vacinados, mas coloca toda a sociedade em risco, já que pode levar à disseminação em larga escala. Portanto, é urgente que medidas sejam tomadas para combater a desinformação, promover a conscientização sobre a importância da vacinação e garantir a manutenção de programas eficazes para reverter esse quadro, evitando a propagação de doenças que podem ser facilmente prevenidas com a imunização adequada.

Comparative Analysis Without and With Sensitivity Encoding (SENSE) on Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Scan Time of Axial T2 Flair MRI Brain
Authors: Etikasari Diah Ranu , Muhaimin Muhaimin , Fajarini Eunike Serfina
Published: February 2025

T2 FLAIR has a long scanning time, because T2 FLAIR has additional TI (Time of Inversion) so patients feel uncomfortable. The SENSE produces image quality, namely contrast and spatial resolution, which is the same as standard image reconstruction, but the scan time required is only half of the standard scan time. This research aimed to determined the difference between SENSE and non-SENSE techniques in axial T2 FLAIR MRI Brain on SNR values and scan time. This study used 16 samples from all patients with T2 FLAIR axial MRI brain at Gambiran Hospital using SENSE and non-SENSE techniques. The results of the image were evaluated by quantitative method, by giving ROI (Region of Interest) to the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus and noise background, then the signal intensity obtained from the organ image and the standard deviation (SD) of the background of the image was calculated by dividing the average signal of the measured area by SD at the noise to obtain the SNR value. The results of the SNR value were analyzed by the Paired T-Test and tested with the SPSS version 25. There was a difference between the SENSE and non-SENSE techniques in the axial T2 FLAIR MRI brain to the SNR value. This difference is because the T2 FLAIR non-SENSE does not experience the reduction in phase encoding lines needed to fill the image k-space on each coil element, a potential deficiency is met by the elimination of wrapping information that results in high image resolution spatial.

Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Where the most common occurrence of ischemic stroke is 85% of all stroke cases. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a dimeric glycoprotein with angiogenic and neuroprotective effects. Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) can be used to assess the extent of acute ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory as a simple semiquantitative instrument. Method a cross-sectional study in acute ischemic stroke patients with an onset of 3-14 days. The VEGF assessed was serum VEGF and ASPECTS assessment to determine the extent of the lesion. Total ASPECT score is 10 points (normal), score > 7 (lesion area < 1/3 MCA), score < 7 (lesion area > 1/3 MCA). Of the 37 patients, the majority of patients were women (62,2%) with hypertension being the most common comorbid. All risk factors had no significant relationship to VEGF levels (p-value>0,005). There was a significant difference between the two ASPECTS categories on serum VEGF levels (p-value=0,001), A significant correlation occurred in serum VEGF levels with ASPECTS (p-value=0,000; r-0,600). Conclusion higher VEGF levels increase cerebral infarction.

Introducción: Los aneurismas gigantes son infrecuentes, su historia natural es poco favorable y su tratamiento complejo y lleno de controversias. Presentamos nuestra experiencia en el manejo de esta patología y un análisis de las posibles estrategias terapéuticas. Material y Método: Estudio retrospectivo observacional en el que se analizan los casos diagnosticados de aneurisma gigante desde junio de 2020 a junio de 2023. Se recogieron los siguientes datos: edad, síntomas, tamaño del aneurisma, presencia de trombosis o calcificaciones, tipo de tratamiento realizado, complicaciones, situación clínica en el seguimiento, resultado de la prueba de imagen de control y necesidad de nuevos tratamientos. Se explica en detalle la técnica quirúrgica empleada. Resultados: En tres años se intervinieron siete aneurismas gigantes, con un diámetro de fondo > 2,5 cm. Se indentificaron además otros dos aneurismas gigantes tratados mediante diversores de flujo, otro aneurisma roto que resangró antes de abrir la duramadre y no se intentó clipaje y otros tres en los que no se llevó a cabo tratamiento. Solo uno de los aneurismas se encontraba en circulación posterior (8,3%). Tres de los doce (25%) aneurismas valorados fueron diagnosticados por ruptura del mismo, siete (58,3%) por efecto de masa y dos de manera incidental (16,7%). La mortalidad global fue del 33%. Los cinco pacientes con aneurismas no rotos tratados mediante cirugía presentaron unos resultados clínicos y radiológicos muy positivos, todos ellos con mrS 0-1 en el seguimiento. Conclusiones: La microcirugía es segura y efectiva para el tratamiento de aneurismas gigantes de circulación anterior con efecto de masa, aunque la decisión debe ser individualizada. El adecuado seguimiento radiológico es esencial para valorar el tratamiento endovascular en caso de resto aneurismático o recrecimiento. Consideramos esta estrategia la técnica de elección para el tratamiento de aneurismas gigantes de circulación anterior.

A vacinação de cães e gatos é uma estratégia crucial para prevenir doenças infecciosas e proteger a saúde pública. Enfermidades como raiva, leptospirose, leishmaniose, cinomose e parvovirose podem ser evitadas com vacinas amplamente recomendadas, como a antirrábica, a V8/V10 para cães e a V4 para gatos. Apesar das campanhas anuais promovidas pelo Ministério da Saúde, a cobertura vacinal no Brasil ainda é insuficiente, com índices abaixo da meta de 80%, especialmente em regiões rurais e periféricas. Elementos como acesso restrito a serviços veterinários, obstáculos socioeconômicos e falta de informação contribuem para essa lacuna. A imunização, além de proteger os animais, diminui as chances de zoonoses e tem um impacto econômico positivo, reduzindo os gastos com tratamentos de emergência. Estratégias para aumentar a cobertura vacinal envolvem a ampliação de campanhas sem custo, programas de sensibilização e estímulo à capacitação de veterinários competentes. Portanto, a imunização vai além de um simples gesto de cuidado pessoal, sendo uma ação coletiva crucial para a proteção sanitária e o bem-estar de animais e seres humanos.

EXPLORING THE LITERACY AND NUMERACY SKILLS OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM THE VANTAGE POINT OF ENGLISH TEACHERS: AN INQUIRY
Authors: Elvie M. Baliling
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore and understand the experiences of English teachers teaching in private schools of Tagum City, specifically the challenges they have encountered and what are the practices they have implemented, in dealing with the literacy and numeracy skills of students in senior high school. After the pandemic, the gap in literacy and numeracy skills among students has widened, becoming a significant challenge for teachers. This issue is particularly pressing for senior high school English teachers, who are tasked with teaching these foundational skills to students who often struggle with even the basics. The complexity of teaching under these circumstances has increased, creating significant challenges for educators. This study aims to explore the best practices, challenges, coping mechanisms, and insights of senior high school English teachers, with the goal of sharing valuable strategies with colleagues and the broader academic community in the context of the post-pandemic era. A qualitative research approach was employed to gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon through natural observation and analysis rather than controlled measurement. The participants included 14 senior high school English teachers who taught literacy and numeracy skills during the 2023-2024 school year. These educators were from private schools in Tagum City, divided into two groups: seven participants for in-depth interviews (IDI) and seven for focus group discussions (FGD). The findings of the study reflect the significant challenges and effective practices of these teachers in teaching literacy and numeracy skills. A key challenge identified was the lack of adequate teaching materials, which complicates the already demanding task of addressing these skills in English classes. As the researcher and one of the senior high school English teachers involved in teaching literacy and numeracy skills, this study has greatly broadened my perspective on the phenomenon. I gained valuable insights from the participants on how they navigate and overcome the challenges they encounter. The lessons they shared are not only informative but also applicable, enabling me to reflect on and implement these strategies in real teaching scenarios.
