Authors: Talmon-Heller Daniella
Published: September 2020

This excursus highlights two pious acts connected with mosques and shrines: the donation of lamps and the erection of minbars (pulpits). It describes the various types of lamps used in the medieval Middle East and the symbolic meanings of the illumination of sacred spaces. It also takes a quick look at the symbolic meaning of the minbar, claiming that its donation was a combined statement of sovereignty and religious devotion.
The Shrine in Cairo under the Sunni Ayyubids and Mamluks
Authors: Talmon-Heller Daniella
Published: September 2020

The re-Sunnification of Cairo, initiated by Saladin after the overthrow of the Fatimids in 1171, did not impede the veneration of the Husayni shrine and mosque. It ceased to constitute a source of political legitimation, but remained a popular pilgrimage site (as depicted by Ibn Jubayr). Under the Ayyubids and Mamluks it was frequented by Sufis, and by a circle of students of Islamic law. Some jurists, prominent among them Ibn Taymiyya, denied the authenticity of the relic and criticized the cult in its shrine.
Final Comments: Spacial and Temporal Sanctity
Authors: Talmon-Heller Daniella
Published: September 2020

This chapter shifts from the 'microscopic' to the 'macroscopic' perspective, to make several observations on medieval Islamic constructions of the 'sacred'. It demonstrates similarities between the understanding of sacred place and time, points out the common vocabulary describing them, and lists the shared set of rites performed in them. Recurrent themes - such as references to the benevolent presence of angels, events of sacred history, the apparition of holy men, the remittance of sins, God's excessive mercy and baraka - are noted here. The chapter also summarizes the opinions of the Hanbali-Sunni Ibn Taymiyya and the Shiʿi Ibn Tawus on these beliefs and practices. Notwithstanding pious devotions, festivities associated with sacred times and places served also political ends, communal purposes, and the formation of identities.

Delusional Parasitosis: More Than Just Skin-Deep - A Case Report
Authors: Hegde Reshma , Gunputh Prinul
Published: September 2020

Delusional parasitosis is an uncommon disorder and is probably underdiagnosed - several factors contribute including lack of recognition/difficulty in arriving to a conclusion by a clinician, or the reluctance to seek help or even rejection of the diagnosis by a patient. Patients present with pruritus, excoriations, stinging or formication for which no physical explanation can be found. There is the belief on the part of the patient that their skin is infested by insects or inanimate objects. It is estimated that a dermatologist may see one case every 7 years (Suh, 2018). Morgellons disease is a disputed condition which may fall under the umbrella term of delusional parasitosis. In this condition any areas of concern on the skin are believed to contain foreign material, usually coloured fibres. There is often an overlap of delusional parasitosis with other mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. Successful treatment requires a multi-modal approach in the form of medication (usually antipsychotics), psychotherapy and the input of various specialists (dermatology and psychiatry). Primary care -general practitioners in particular - has a central role to play by orchestrating this process so that a satisfactory outcome is achieved.
Positive Emotions Scale: Construct Development and Validation
Authors: Shamim Amna , Muazzam Amina
Published: September 2020

The purpose of the paper was to develop an indigenous and comprehensive scale to measure positive emotions and to establish its psychometric properties. In the first phase, the item pool of 40 items was generated by an in-depth review of literature, focus groups, and semi-structured interviews. Content Validity Index (CVI) was established on 6 expert’s ratings. The total scale CVI calculated was .84. Pilot study was conducted (n = 50) on the preliminary scale to measure its face validity. In the second phase, internal consistency and dimensionality of scale was empirically measured through Exploratory Factor Analysis (N = 273). Ten factors (i.e. Joy, Hope, Gratitude, Compassion, Gratitude towards God, Satisfaction, Awe, Inspiration, Love, and Humor) emerged. In the third phase, to confirm the factor structure of the Scale the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (N = 174) was run. Psychometric properties were established (α = .96). In the final phase, the convergent and discriminant validity was established by using Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988). Finally, the Positive Emotions Scale, measuring ten main constructs of positive emotions was constructed.

Authors: Ijaz Tazvin , Khalid Asiya
Published: September 2020

The present study investigated effects of perfectionism, depressive rumination (DR), and worry on academic burnout in university students. In addition mediating roles of depressive rumination and worry was explored. A sample of 515 students (237 females, 278 males) with age range of 17-27 years; (M = 20, SD = 1.66) were included from various government and private universities of Lahore. The research instruments used were: Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R; Slaney, Rice, Mobley, Trippi, & Ashby, 2001), Rumination Response Scale (Treynor, Gonzalez, & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2003), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (Meyer, Miller, Metzger, & Borkovec, 1990), and Indigenous Burnout Scale (Ijaz & Khan, 2012). Results revealed a significant positive relationship between perfectionism (standard/order) and worry. Moreover a significant positive relationship was also found among perfectionism (discrepancy), depressive rumination, worry, and academic burnout. The mediation analysis showed that depressive rumination and worry significantly mediated the relationship between perfectionism and academic burnout. The present study highlighted the need for studying different dimensions of perfectionism and also identifying the causes of depressive rumination and Worry in student population which have been found to be leading to academic burnout.

Published: September 2020

The present research was conducted to find out home chaos as a predictor of behavioral and peers problems among young children. Sample consisted of 80 children (40 girls and 40 boys), with an age range of 3 to 7 years (M = 5.32, SD = 1.26). It was hypothesized that children from families reporting high chaos would show high levels of behavioral and peer problems. Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale-Urdu (Shamama-tus-Sabah & Gilani, 2006) and Strengths and Difficulty Questionnaire (Goodman, 2001) were administered to measure home chaos, behavioral and peer problems and prosocial behavior respectively. Correlation and Hierarchical multiple Regression was run to analyze the data. Home chaos was found to be positively correlated with children’s behavioral and peer problems. Moreover it was also found to be a significant predictor of behavioral and peer problems and prosocial behavior among young children. Implications and limitations and suggestion for future research have been discussed.

Molecular assessments at the single cell level can accelerate biological research by providing detailed assessments of cellular organization and tissue heterogeneity in both disease and health. The human kidney has complex multi-cellular states with varying functionality, much of which can now be completely harnessed with recent technological advances in tissue proteomics at a near single-cell level. We discuss the foundational steps in the first application of this mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomics method for analysis of sub-sections of the normal human kidney, as part of the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP). Using ~30–40 laser captured micro-dissected kidney cells, we identified more than 2,500 human proteins, with specificity to the proximal tubular (PT; n = 25 proteins) and glomerular (Glom; n = 67 proteins) regions of the kidney and their unique metabolic functions. This pilot study provides the roadmap for application of our near-single-cell proteomics workflow for analysis of other renal micro-compartments, on a larger scale, to unravel perturbations of renal sub-cellular function in the normal kidney as well as different etiologies of acute and chronic kidney disease.

Authors: Ronsisvalle Simone , Panarello Federica , Longhitano Giusy , Siciliano Edy Angela , Montenegro Lucia , Panico Annamaria
Published: September 2020

Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as well as advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in the development and progression of degenerative processes of body tissues, including skin. Natural antioxidant flavonoids could be beneficial in inhibiting AGEs’ formation and MMPs’ expression. In this study, the antioxidant activity of flavones (luteolin, apigenin, and chrysin) and flavonols (mirycetin, quercetin, and kaempferol) was compared with their inhibitory effects on both metalloproteinases’ (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-13) and AGEs’ formation. Comparisons were performed taking into account the hydroxyl group arrangement and the physico-chemical parameters the binding dissociation enthalpy (BDE), ionization potential (IP), partition coefficient (log P), and topological polar surface area (TPSA). Increasing the number of hydroxyl groups led to a proportional enhancement of antioxidant activity while an inverse relationship was observed plotting the antioxidant activity vs. BDE and IP values. All flavonoids acted as AGEs, MMP-1, and MMP-13 inhibitors, but they were less effective against MMP-2 and MMP-9. The inhibition of MMP-1 seemed to be related to the TPSA values while high TPSA and low log P values seemed important conditions for inhibiting MMP-13. Overall, our data suggest that an estimation of flavonoid activity could be anticipated based on their physico-chemical parameters.
Long-Lasting Economic Effects of Pandemics:Evidence on Growth and Unemployment
Authors: Rodríguez-Caballero C. Vladimir , Vera-Valdés J. Eduardo
Published: September 2020

This paper studies long economic series to assess the long-lasting effects of pandemics. We analyze if periods that cover pandemics have a change in trend and persistence in growth, and in level and persistence in unemployment. We find that there is an upward trend in the persistence level of growth across centuries. In particular, shocks originated by pandemics in recent times seem to have a permanent effect on growth. Moreover, our results show that the unemployment rate increases and becomes more persistent after a pandemic. In this regard, our findings support the design and implementation of timely counter-cyclical policies to soften the shock of the pandemic.
Fertilizer Rate and Substrate Water Content Effect on Growth and Flowering of Beardtongue
Authors: Bayer Amanda
Published: September 2020

Research has shown that reduced irrigation and fertilizer rates can still produce good plant growth when irrigation is applied efficiently to reduce leaching. The impact of reduced irrigation and fertilizer rate on flowering and plant growth would provide additional information on the potential for reduced production inputs. The objective of this research was to quantify the impact of reduced irrigation and fertilizer rate on growth and flowering of Ruby Candle beardtongue (Penstemon × ‘Ruby Candle’). A soil moisture sensor automated irrigation system was used to maintain plants at 40% volumetric water content [VWC; well-watered (WW)] or 18% VWC (reduced irrigation, RI). A controlled release fertilizer was applied at 100%, 50%, and 25% of the bag rate (12 g/plant). There was not a significant treatment effect on any flower parameter. Average plant height was greatest for plants receiving the 50% fertilizer rate (75.9 cm) and was lowest for the 100% fertilizer rate (64.5 cm). Internode length was greater for WW plants (36.9 mm) than RI plants (32.4 mm). Well-watered plants had greater fresh weight (99.1 g) than RI plants (79.2 g) and 100% fertilizer rate (97.1 g) was greater than the 25% fertilizer rate (82.7 g).

This study investigated ticks and tick-borne microorganisms of small ruminants from five districts of the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) of Pakistan. Morphological (n = 104) and molecular (n = 54) characterization of the ticks revealed the presence of six ixodid ticks: Rhipicephalus (Rh.) haemaphysaloides, Rh. microplus, Rh. turanicus, Haemaphysalis (Hs.) punctata, Hs. sulcata and Hyalomma anatolicum. Phylogenetic analyses of nucleotide sequence data for two mitochondrial (16S and cytochrome c oxidase 1) and one nuclear (second internal transcribed spacer) DNA regions provided strong support for the grouping of the six tick species identified in this study. Microfluidic real-time PCR, employing multiple pre-validated nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers, detected 11 potential pathogens and endosymbionts in 72.2% of the ticks (n = 54) tested. Rickettsia (R.) massiliae was the most common pathogen found (42.6% of ticks) followed by Theileria spp. (33.3%), Anaplasma (A.) ovis and R. slovaca (25.9% each). Anaplasma centrale, A. marginale, Ehrlichia spp., R. aeschlimannii, R. conorii and endosymbionts (Francisella- and Coxiella-like) were detected at much lower rates (1.9–22.2%) in ticks. Ticks from goats (83.9%) carried significantly higher microorganisms than those from sheep (56.5%). This study demonstrates that ticks of small ruminants from the FATA are carrying multiple microorganisms of veterinary and medical health significance and provides the basis for future investigations of ticks and tick-borne diseases of animals and humans in this and neighboring regions.
Sustainable Development of Fintech: Focused on Uncertainty and Perceived Quality Issues
Authors: Ryu Hyun-Sun , Ko Kwang Sun
Published: September 2020

Despite high expectations for the growth of Fintech, it has not reached the expected growth in the real world. As Fintech is innovative but inherently unpredictable, customers are still hesitant to adopt and use Fintech, which ultimately affects its growth. To achieve the sustainable development and growth of Fintech, an in-depth investigation of Fintech continuance intentions is required. To investigate continuous-use behavior in a Fintech context, this study focuses on two relevant issues: uncertainty and information technology (IT) quality. Uncertainty is more critical in Fintech than in traditional e-banking transactions because Fintech transactions are complicated and less predictable. IT quality is also crucial to Fintech success because IT plays a key role in Fintech transactions. This study mainly explores the relationship between uncertainty and IT quality, both of which significantly affect Fintech continuance intentions. For the purpose, we integrated an IT quality–based perspective with a trust-based model to investigate Fintech continuance intentions. Our results demonstrate that system quality is negatively related to perceived risk, whereas information quality is positively related to trust. Service quality is the most important quality factor for controlling uncertainty and encouraging continued use of Fintech. We found a more extended role of IT in Fintech than in other digital services. This study provides Fintech providers with the practical guidance in the design and implementation of Fintech innovation, thereby achieving the sustainable development of Fintech.

Published: September 2020

Collagen has diverse applications in various industries and thus a various method of purifications has been developed over the years to produce high yield and high purity of collagen to fulfill collagen market demand. The objective of this qualitative systematic review is to summarize the current literature on the existing purification methods for collagen from different sources. Toward this end, three databases were searched and articles were screened for all original articles explaining the purification of collagen regardless of their main sources. After the comprehensive screening, out of 715 articles, 12 articles were chosen and were further reviewed. The analysis of the technical details, theory, advantages, and disadvantages of the techniques used are reported in this study. We found four types of purification methods that commonly used to purify various types of collagen from mammals, marine, bacteria, and recombinant collagen. The correlations between the prevalence of the method and the efficiency of collagen purification were also identified. It highlighted that many factors should be considered before choosing any method of purification such as types, sources and structure of the collagen itself. Affinity chromatography commonly used for purification of recombinant collagen as they have been genetically modified and appended by affinity tags whereas conventional purification method is preferable for non-recombinant collagen from mammalian and marine sources.

This research; It was held in 2018 in order to determine the causes of firearm injuries and the measures that can be taken of raptors, which serve as a regulator in the ecosystem, undertake great duties in controlling agricultural pests and destroying carrion and waste. The intensity of firearm injuries in raptors brought to Afyon Kocatepe University Wildlife Rescue Rehabilitation Training Application and Research Center for treatment was found to be remarkable and this project was planned. In the study, a qualitative “Focus Group Interview” technique was used as a method to reveal the reasons why birds of prey were shot. The research material of the project was formed by hunter groups due to their use of firearms and their proximity to nature. Five different groups of ten people were invited to the focus group meeting. Eight open-ended questions were asked to the participants from general to private. The participants' perception of birds of prey, their thoughts on why and who could shoot at birds of prey, and solutions to the problem were gathered and evaluated with research questions. As a result of the research; It was determined that the participants knew the birds of prey well enough and their contribution to the ecosystem. In the evaluation regarding the reasons for the shooting; Because birds of prey are birds of prey, it has been found that pigeon and poultry breeders can be shot by unconscious hunters, can be seen as a live target board by novice gunmen, can be targeted by taxidermy collectors, and have the effect of some false beliefs. For the solution of the problem; It has been determined that it is important to prepare training programs and media sharing that will create raptor awareness for children, hunters and especially adults living in rural areas, to develop an inspection system, to deter penalties, and to establish shooting polygons. As a result, based on the agriculture friendliness of raptors and their protection of ecosystem health, there is a need for many more studies to emphasize their importance, to take protection measures, to provide habitat support and to create a conscious society.

Authors: Kochhar Priyanka , Mahal Namrata Amarjeet , Seth Sanjay , Singh Mandeep
Published: September 2020

Green building rating systems are effective for implementing climate change mitigation strategies. GRIHA facilitates implementation of relevant policies of the Government of India, and embeds climate adaptation measures within the design, construction and operational phases of building project development. 17 States provide incentives at municipal levels to projects that certify with GRIHA rating. ClimateSMART Cities Assessment Framework (CSCAF), which is a major culmination of Government of India schemes, provides for implementation of energy efficiency and green buildings through adoption and incentivisation of green building rating systems. However, only 25/100 smart city proposals have included green building rating systems to achieve essential goals. Based on feedback from certification agencies, project proponents, and government officials, there is need for information dissemination and guidance on institutional mechanisms for incentivising green rated projects at the local level. This paper examines existing institutional mechanisms for incentivising GRIHA rated projects, and provides recommendations for municipal bodies to meet relevant CSCAF requirements.

OBJETIVO: Discorrer sobre a mudança proposta através do novo modelo de financiamento da Atenção Primária brasileira chamado de Previne Brasil. MÉTODO: Utilizou-se a base de dados da Associação Brasileira de Saúde Coletiva (ABRASCO), Organização Mundial de Saúde e Portarias oficiais do Governo brasileiro, além de artigos encontrados no PUBMED e Google Acadêmico para estudo e correlação com os dados pesquisados. RESULTADOS: Foi-se observado após a análise dos documentos consultados que o a proposta de novo financiamento para a atenção primária a saúde do Brasil foi um projeto pouco debatido nas Conferências Nacionais de Saúde e com os órgãos de representatividade social brasileiros. Além disso, o novo programa de financiamento, chamado de Previne Brasil, muda a forma de repasse de recursos financeiros sem oferecer meios para que os municípios consigam aderir a nova medida, dificultando, então sua efetividade. CONCLUSÃO: O Previne Brasil precisa ser melhor debatido com as instâncias representativas sociais brasileiras como determina a Constituição Federal e a Lei 8080/90. Além disso, precisa-se de caminhos mais claros para colocar o projeto em prática para os profissionais e gestores dos municípios.

Objetivo: Avaliar o nível de conhecimento nutricional e sua correlação com os níveis séricos de potássio e fósforo dos pacientes com Insuficiência Renal Crônica submetidos à hemodiálise. Método: Estudo do tipo descritivo, observacional e transversal com abordagem quantitativa, realizado na Cidade de Cajazeiras, Paraíba. Participaram da pesquisa, indivíduos adultos, de ambos os sexos com faixa etária entre 20 a 59 anos de idade, com Insuficiência Renal Crônica que estivessem realizando hemodiálise na cidade de Cajazeiras/PB. Os dados foram coletados utilizando uma ficha clínica com informações sobre os dados pessoais, clínicos e bioquímicos e um questionário de avaliação do conhecimento nutricional. A análise dos dados foi feita com estatística descritiva e com o teste de correlação de Spearman, adotando a significância estatística de 5%, ou seja, p<0,05. Resultados: Observou-se que dos 33 indivíduos envolvidos na pesquisa, 54,55% (n= 18) eram do sexo masculino, com média de idade e tempo de hemodiálise de 42,75±10,10 e 4,12±3,36 anos respectivamente. Dentre as patologias mais prevalentes estão a hipertensão arterial sistêmica (72,73%) e o Diabetes mellitus (18,18%). Sobre os dados bioquímicos, a média do potássio e de fósforo foi de 5,52±0,81mEq e 5,69±1,79mg, respectivamente, mostrando-se inadequados. Quanto à análise do conhecimento nutricional, as perguntes visavam relacionar o grau de conhecimento. Diante disto, pôde-se observar que 12,12% mostraram ter baixo conhecimento, 51,52% moderado e 36,36% alto conhecimento nutricional. Portanto, de acordo com a análise do conhecimento nutricional e dos níveis séricos de potássio e fósforo, constatou-se uma correlação significativa entre o potássio e o conhecimento nutricional (p=0,02). Conclusão: Conclui-se que quanto maior for o conhecimento nutricional, melhor serão os valores séricos de potássio, contribuindo para melhora do quadro clínico. Por outro lado, o conhecimento nutricional não demonstrou relação com os níveis séricos de fósforo. Sendo assim. Estudos como este são de suma importância para proporcionar um aconselhamento dietético direcionado à realidade de vida dos indivíduos, ajudando a reduzir os agravos que surgem na Insuficiência Renal Crônica.

Participatory Research Methods – Choice Points in the Research Process
Authors: Vaughn Lisa M. , Jacquez Farrah
Published: September 2020

Participatory research (PR) encompasses research designs, methods, and frameworks that use systematic inquiry in direct collaboration with those affected by an issue being studied for the purpose of action or change. PR engages those who are not necessarily trained in research but belong to or represent the interests of the people who are the focus of the research. Researchers utilizing a PR approach often choose research methods and tools that can be conducted in a participatory, democratic manner that values genuine and meaningful participation in the research process. This article serves as an introduction to participatory research methods, including an overview of participatory research, terminology across disciplines, elements that make a research method participatory, and a model detailing the choice points that require decisions about which tools and methods will produce the desired level of participation at each stage of the research process. Intentional choices of participatory research methods, tools, and processes can help researchers to more meaningfully engage stakeholders and communities in research, which in turn has the potential to create relevant, meaningful research findings translated to action.
