On the heterogeneity of depression in Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Nodel M. R. , Yakhno N. N.
Published: October 2020

Depression in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the leading manifestations of the disease, which reduces quality of life in patients.

Objective: to compare the clinical features of depression at different stages of PD.

Patients and methods. Examinations were made in 162 PD patients aged 62.14±1.99 years without dementia (PD duration, 5.78±0.58 years; Stage, 2.5±0.6). The Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Spielberger Inventory, the 16-Item PD Fatigue Scale (PFS-16), and the Starkstein Apathy Scale were examined. Dopaminergic agents (DAAs) were prescribed when movement disorders were insufficiently corrected. Antidepressants were not used during the investigation. The follow-up period was 18 months.

Results and discussion. Depression was detected in 136 (84%) patients. Depression symptoms appeared in 16 (12%) patients within 1–8 years before the onset of motor symptoms (MS), in 37 (27%) in the first 2 years after the onset of MS, in 44 (32%) at Hoehn–Yahr stages 2–3 without motor fluctuations (MFs), and in 39 (29%) at the onset of MF. The most severity of depression was noted in cases of its development at the premotor stage and in the period of MF occurrence. During the follow-up, the manifestations of depression disappeared in 16% of the patients taking a DAA; these were relapsing-remitting in 9%, progressive in 11%, or remained stable in 64%. The patients with depression occurring at the premotor stage had a progressive course of depression and a low DAA efficacy: an increase in severity in 30% of cases despite therapy and a reversal in only 10% of cases (versus 25–45% of those at depression onset in the presence of MS). In cases of depression occurring in the first 2 years after MS onset, its reversal was observed in 45%; the group of patients with depression onset in the presence of MF showed a stable course with slight severity fluctuations in 77.8%.

Conclusion. Depression in PD is a heterogeneous affective disorder. There is a relatively favorable course of depression when the latter occurs in the first two years of MS onset. Along with DAA inefficacy, the more severity of depression is noted when the latter occurs in the premotor phase of PD and at the stage of MF.

Published: October 2020

Addictive behavioral disorders are multifactorial diseases with clinical, neurophysiological, and genetic heterogeneity, a high comorbidity with other disorders, and a low curability. The etiopathogenetic mechanisms of non-chemical forms of addictive behavior have not been sufficiently studied, which makes it difficult to search for effective therapeutic procedures.

Objective: to study the psychological and genetic components of a non-chemical addictive disorder as the phenomenon of codependency.

Patients and methods. The investigation enrolled 256 women who were divided into three comparison groups: 1) those with the phenomenon of codependency, 2) phenotypically healthy women; 3) a population sample. Psychometric testing was carried out using the «Hand Test» by E. Wagner (adapted by A.I. Gerasimov and S.N. Enikolopov) and the clinical and genealogical characteristics of women with the phenomenon of codependency were studied. Results and discussion. There was a statistically significant predominance of the level of aggressiveness as autoaggression in the structure of the personality profile of women with the phenomenon of codependency (t=2.924–3.015; p=0.004–0.005). The clinical and genealogical characteristics of persons with addictive behavioral disorder as the phenomenon of codependency suggest that there is a statistically significantly high frequency of secondary alcoholism among first-degree and second-degree relatives or both and first-degree male relatives (p<0.001).

Conclusion. The phenomenon of codependency as a non-chemical addiction includes psychological and genetic components. Women with codependency had autoaggressive destructive behavior patterns and a family history of alcoholism. The identified psychogenic characteristics can be considered as a risk for an addictive disease and somatoform disorders.
Neuropathic pain in rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Filatova E. S. , Lila A. M. , Parfenov V. A.
Published: October 2020

Objective: to identify the signs of neuropathic pain (NP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on the basis of the PainDETECT questionnaire and neurological examination.

Patients and methods. A total of 208 RA patients (39 men and 169 women; mean age, 47.7 years) with chronic pain syndrome were examined. The patients underwent rheumatological and neurological examinations; NP was diagnosed using the PainDETECT questionnaire; inflammation severity (DAS28 index), pain intensity (VAS), affective disorders (HADS), and quality of life (EQ-5D) were assessed.

Results and discussion. 172 (82.7%) patients had moderate and high disease activity according to the DAS28. The signs of possible and highly probable NP according to the PainDETECT questionnaire were detected in 29.8 and 26.9% of patients, respectively; they were significantly more likely to be detected in patients with more severe pain syndrome, clinically significant anxiety, and worse quality of life, but were unassociated with RA activity according to the DAS28. Somatosensory nervous system injury (polyneuropathy, tunnel syndromes, and cervical myelopathy) was found in 77.6% of patients with possible NP and in 80.4% with highly probable NP. In other patients, NP might be caused by central sensitization.

 Conclusion. In patients with a RA exacerbation, chronic pain syndrome is caused not only by an active inflammatory process in the joint area and adjacent tissues, but also by somatosensory nervous system injury and central sensitization.
Cognitive impairment, dizziness, and unsteadiness in hypertensive patients
Authors: Antonenko L. M. , Vakhnina N. V. , Gromova D. O.
Published: October 2020

Hypertension is a widespread disease related to modifiable vascular risk factors for stroke and chronic cerebrovascular diseases. The pathogenetic basis of brain damage in hypertension is cerebral microangiopathy that leads to vascular cognitive impairment (CI), instability, and falls. Microcirculatory changes in the presence of hypertension at the initial stages of cerebrovascular disease occur without visible clinical manifestations of brain damage. Pathogenetically justified treatment used at an early stage of the disease makes it possible to achieve good results in the prevention of vascular brain damage. An important aspect of selecting effective therapy is the competent diagnosis of the causes of dizziness and instability, which can be caused not only by brain damage, but also by peripheral vestibular system diseases. Early diagnosis of vascular CI, selection of adequate therapy, and prevention of their further progression are of great importance. The studies performed have shown the high efficacy of vinpocetine (Cavinton®) that has a multifactorial mechanism of action in the treatment and prevention of CI, dizziness, and instability caused by cerebrovascular disease.

Authors: Radzhabkadiev R , Vybornaya K , Lavrinenko C , Vasilev A
Published: October 2020

Aim. The article deals with the assessment of the thyroid status of athletes engaged in physical activity of varying intensity. Materials ant methods. 146 elite athletes involved in bobsleigh, biathlon, shooting and snowboarding participated in the study. We determined the serum concentration of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (f.T3), free thyroxin (f.T4) and thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-ab) with the COBAS e411 immunochemistry analyzer (Roche, Germany). The integral thyroid index ((f.T3 + f.T4)/TSH) was used for the assessment of the level of function of the thyroid proper. The conversion index of thyroxin to triiodothyronine (f.T4/ f.T3) was also studied. Results. 40 % of the bobsleigh athletes examined and 29 % of the snowboarders had high serum f.T3. The concentration of f.T4 in all examined athletes both male and female was within normal limits. Approximately 25 % of the male athletes examined had low II values. Among female athletes, 25 % of shooters and 33 % of bobsleigh athletes had low II values. In male biathletes and bobsleigh athletes, TPO-ab was 56 % higher than in shooters and snowboarders. In 43 % of bobsleigh athletes, 19 % of shooters, 10 % of biathletes and snowboarders, the content of TSH in males exceeded the reference intervals. Among females, TSH was high in 25 % of shooters and bobsleigh athletes. Conclusion. There were no statistically significant differences in the content of thyroid hormones in the compared sports groups, which can probably be explained by the activity of deiodinases at the local, intracellular level. At the same time, in a large number of respondents surveyed, the indicators of II and TPO-ab were outside the physiological norm.

Published: October 2020

Aim. The paper aims to explore the effect of Trekrezan on working capacity, psychosomatic status, and hemodynamic parameters of military and security personnel, as well as the possibility to increase its psychological tolerance to stress. Materials and methods. 52 men participated in the study with the average age of 35.4 ± 6.6 years. The participants had been taking Trekrezan in tablets at a dose of 600 mg/day for 3 months. Duplex scanning of carotid and vertebral arteries was carried out according to the method of R. Barnes. Assessment of psychological and somatic status was carried out by the Hamilton test. Physical activity was tested by standard exercises (volunteer military service). Results. Trekrezan intake demonstrated a positive effect on anxiety and emotional stability and provided a significant increase in the maximum and average blood flow rates into common and internal carotid arteries. In 37.5% of 94.7% of men with thickening of the intima/media complex (IMT), IMT values demonstrated normalization after 3 months of taking the pills. Conclusion. Trekrezan significantly improves regional blood flow in the carotid artery system, has a positive effect on the psychosomatic status and improves life quality. Trekresan intake (600 mg / day per 3 months) increases working capacity of military and security personnel and can be recommended as a supplement that improves tolerance to physical activity.

Published: October 2020

Aim. The paper aims to study the dynamics of balance and coordination development through training with biofeedback. Material and methods. The Voronezh state institute students involved in shooting (n = 6) and swimming (n = 6) took part in the experiment. The mean age of participants was 19.5 ± 1.5 years. A one-month training was conducted with the use of 2 stabilographic simulators, namely Hunting and Stand shooting. Results. The results obtained in Stand shooting and Hunting simulators demonstrated an increase in points in both groups. However, in the group of shooters, the increase was statistically significant. An intergroup comparison at the end of the experiment was also statistically significant, which indicates a significantly greater improvement in the effectiveness of shooters. When assessing spectral indicators, a statistically significant improvement in the performance of shooters was revealed, which confirmed an increase in unconscious oscillations by 33.7 % along the frontal plane; as well as a decrease in oscillations associated with human physiology (heartbeat, respiration) by 75.4 % in the frontal plane and by 89 % in the sagittal plane. The intergroup comparison of data has statistically significant differences, which indicates the best effect of BFB training on the ability of shooters to control conscious and unconscious movements for maintaining frontal balance and sagittal oscillations associated with human physiology. Conclusion. As a result of the experiment, a positive effect of stabilometric simulators with biofeedback was revealed in terms of improving stability, coordination and the ability to control the center of pressure through the control of physiological processes that affect the shooting stance. Performance in the group of shooters was higher than in the group of swimmers

Published: October 2020

Aim. Optimal balance between training intensity and recovery is of particular importance for elite swimmers in order to improve their results. The aim of this study was to record the dyna­mics of training distress, performance, and excretion of cortisol and cortisone in urine during six weeks of training in elite swimmers. Materials and Methods. Twenty-four participants (10 women and 14 men) from the national swimming team of Bulgaria took part in this study, with an average age of 18.7 ± 3.78 years. Training distress (TDS) and urine concentration of cortisol and cortisone were evaluated every two weeks. In total, the measurements were taken on the 1-st (T1), 14-th (T2), 28-th (T3) and 42-nd days (T4). Anthropometric measurements were also taken at T1 and T4, and body fat percentage and muscle mass percentage were calculated by skinfold methods. Results. The TDS score at T4 (6.92 ±7.15) was significantly lower than this at T1 (14.96 ± 10.63) and T2 (15.21 ± 12.44). The concentrations of cortisol at T3 (35.9 ± 47.7) and T4 (35.0 ± 24.2) were also significantly lower than that registered at T1 (82.7 ± 62.8). The concentration of cortisone did not show any significant differences across T1 to T4, but the sum of cortisol and cortisone urine concentration was significantly lower in T3 and T4 vs T1. Conclusion. The significantly reduced cortisol concentration in urine in T4, as well as the sum of the concentrations of cortisol and cortisone, were in line with the reduction of the TDS score in T4.
Zakres zastosowania ustawy o kształtowaniu ustroju rolnego do regulacji prawnorolnych w Kodeksie cywilnym
Authors: Łobos-Kotowska Dorota , Stańko Marek
Published: October 2020

Rozważania dotyczą stosowania przepisów ustawy o kształtowaniu ustroju rolnego do regulacji prawnorolnych zawartych w Kodeksie cywilnym. Obejmują dziedziczenie gospodarstw rolnych, w tym dział spadku, w skład którego wchodzi gospodarstwo rolne, zniesienie współwłasności gospodarstwa rolnego (zarówno w drodze umowy, jak i orzeczenia sądowego) oraz podział majątku wspólnego małżonków, z uwzględnieniem regulacji ustawy o kształtowaniu ustroju rolnego. Założeniem ustawodawcy było zapewnienie ochrony ziemi rolniczej także w zakresie obrotu nieruchomościami rolnymi, przewidzianej w przepisach Kodeksu cywilnego. Wątpliwości interpretacyjne budzi jednak brak tożsamości znaczeniowej zwrotów użytych w obu aktach prawnych, co prowadzi do modyfikacji kodeksowych instytucji. Nie do przyjęcia jest to, że mocą przepisów ustaw szczególnych zmianie ulegają kodeksowe instytucje prawnorolne stanowiące gwarancję własności rolniczej. Taki sposób „nowelizowania” Kodeksu cywilnego prowadzi do niespójności i dysfunkcjonalności sytemu prawnego.
Prawna problematyka stosowania antybiotyków w produkcji zwierzęcej
Authors: Lipińska Izabela
Published: October 2020

Artykuł stanowi odpowiedź na pytanie, czy przyjęte na poziomie unijnym normy prawne służą ochronie zdrowia zwierząt oraz pozwalają na bezpieczne stosowanie antybiotyków w produkcji zwierzęcej. Podjęto w nim także próbę ustalenia i oceny krajowych rozwiązań prawnych w tym zakresie oraz wskazania kierunków koniecznych zmian w realizowanej polityce rolnej UE. W efekcie stwierdzono, że obowiązujące normy prawne jednoznacznie określają dopuszczalność stosowania antybiotyków w enumeratywnie wskazanych sytuacjach, poza którymi ich używanie jest zabronione i grozi sankcją, ale nie zawsze są przestrzegane. Nie służą więc ochronie zdrowia zwierząt i w ograniczonym zakresie są bezpiecznie stosowane w produkcji. Niska skuteczność przyjętej na poziomie unijnym i krajowym regulacji wiąże się prawdopodobnie ze słabością prowadzonych kontroli oraz łatwym dostępem do antybiotyków.
Liability for damage caused by unsafe innovative food – a legal perspective
Authors: Sokołowski Łukasz Mikołaj
Published: October 2020

The subject of the considerations presented in the article are issues related to the liability for placing unsafe innovative food on the market. They are aimed at answering the question of whether the tort liability regime based on the risk principle meets the requirements of the modern agri-food sector and provides effective protection of consumer’s health and life against threats that may result from product innovations. The adoption of legal solutions providing for producer’s strict liability for an unsafe product must be assessed positively. They facilitate the consumer’s ability to seek redress for damage caused by an unsafe product. Unfortunately, these regulations do not take into account fully the specific nature of food, especially innovative food, limiting the possibility of redressing damage caused by this type of food.
Law in the face of the problem of land take
Authors: Goździewicz-Biechońska Justyna
Published: October 2020

The aim of the considerations is to determine how the concept of land take and the related EU target of no net land take by 2050 function in the law (especially in Poland), and then to assess to what extent the perception of this formula in the law is relevant to the model of land protection and whether it has the potential to increase the effectiveness of the legal regulation in this respect. Land take is a concept that describes one of the main threats to the protection of land as an environmental resource. First attempts to incorporate this formula into the legal system of land protection have already been made. In European Union law, this was done by setting the goal of no net land take target by 2050. This objective, however, is neither binding nor specified in secondary legislation. The concept of land take and the target related to it may have a positive impact on the effectiveness of the land protection system. However, it is essential that the legal instruments are integrated and are of a binding character. The Polish legal system has reiterated the concept of indirect land take, and no national target in this respect has been adopted. This model is an example confirming the thesis that special and extensive legal regulations do not always guarantee that the protection measures are effective. Also, while it illustrates the importance of integrating individual legal regulations, it shows as well that the weaknesses of one of them (in Poland the inefficiency of spatial planning) cannot be compensated for by developed instruments in another area of law.
Ubezpieczenie od następstw nieszczęśliwych wypadków i chorób dla dzieci rolników ubezpieczonych w KRUS
Authors: Puślecki Damian
Published: October 2020

Artykuł stanowi odpowiedź na pytanie, na ile ubezpieczenia gospodarcze zapewniają dzieciom pomagającym rodzicom w działalności rolniczej ochronę przed wystąpieniem skutków zdarzeń losowych. Przeprowadzono w nim analizę porównawczą zakresu ochrony przyznanej w ubezpieczeniu od następstw nieszczęśliwych wypadków i niektórych chorób dzieci z rozwiązaniami przyjętymi w rolniczym ubezpieczeniu społecznym. W jej wyniku stwierdzono, że mimo niewielkiej przewagi w niektórych aspektach protekcji grupowe ubezpieczenie gospodarcze nie może zapewnić właściwej ochrony dzieciom na wypadek utraty zdolności do pracy. Ubezpieczenie nie realizuje w wystarczającym stopniu funkcji prewencyjnej, a wysokość uzyskiwanych świadczeń z tytułu uszczerbku na zdrowiu jest dużo niższa niż tych wypłacanych przez KRUS. Jednak z braku innej możliwości dzieci pracujące w rolnictwie mogą liczyć chociaż na namiastkę ochrony ubezpieczeniowej. Ubezpieczenia gospodarcze powinny jednak mieć charakter wspomagający, uzupełniając zakres ochrony rolniczego ubezpieczenia społecznego.
COPING WITH COVID-19: RESILIENCE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC
Authors: Sturman Edward D.
Published: October 2020

Introduction: As the novel coronavirus rapidly spreads around the world it will become increasingly important to understand its psychological impacts on the larger population. Few studies have been conducted in this regard, which is unsurprising considering the sudden emergence of the disease.

Methods: The present study looked at mood (anxiety and depression), stress, resilience, grit, perceived control, happiness, and satisfaction with life in two samples hailing from small towns in upstate New York. These outcomes were assessed at two time points: pre-coronavirus (November/December 2019) and peak-coronavirus (mid-April 2020).

Results: Contrary to expectations, the results indicated no significant differences on any of the variables between the pre-coronavirus sample and the peak-coronavirus sample.

Discussion: The results suggested that people, at least in this region of the United States and more broadly in smaller towns, may be psychologically coping with the pandemic to a better degree than might be expected. This finding may be useful to policy makers and health care workers.
I (DON'T) LOVE MY BODY: COUNTER-INTUITIVE EFFECTS OF A BODY-AFFIRMING STATEMENT ON COLLEGE WOMEN'S BODY SATISFACTION
Authors: Engeln Renee , Imundo Megan N.
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Messages encouraging women to love their bodies are common elements of positive body image movements, but there are theoretical reasons to suspect that such messages may backfire.

Methods: In a sample of 293 college women, we tested the impact of mentally repeating the affirmation “I love my body” on body satisfaction. We prompted participants to think either “I love my body” (affirmation condition) or “I am [age] years old” (control condition) while they completed a five-minute writing task.

Results: Relative to the control, the affirmation condition led to significantly lower body satisfaction. Additionally, 53% of affirmation condition participants counterargued the body affirmation by writing something negative about their appearance; only 6% in the control condition wrote a negative appearance comment.

Discussion: Results suggest that some messages intended to promote positive body image have the potential to decrease women's body satisfaction, in part because they prompt women to think of flaws in their appearance.
Will the Real Devil Speak Up?
Authors: Turan Müge
Published: October 2020

Ventriloquism, Edison’s playback, and the sound film base their appeal to spectators primarily on the tension between the two-dimensional image and three-dimensional sound, between space and surface, as well as between body and voice. My focus is on the disembodied voice in cinema, the voice with no body attached. The meanings attached to the unaccommodated or unlocatable voices in various kinds of ventriloquism seem to produce just such a suspension. The opening of the connection between a voice and a body as its source reminds us of the voice as a partial object in the writings of Jacques Lacan, as well as Rick Altman’s model of ventriloquism, in which whoever controls sound in film is a ventriloquist who “uses” the body, manipulating it as if it were a puppet. This notion becomes fascinatingly complicated when applied to The Exorcist (1973, William Friedkin). The Exorcist stages the battle between the forces of sound and image, body and voice, elevating it to a terrifying good-versus-evil theological level. This battle extends the diegetic narrative to become a battle between two actors (the voice actor and the actor seen on screen) trying to share one body, a split between two personalities. The film is an exceptional case study that allows us to examine the ways in which cinema contributes to and mediates the ventriloquial act, as well as the roles of the visual, aural, and tactile perceptual channels and their relation to each other in the cinematic experience, in particular in the horror genre.
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE INTENTION OF STATE FOUNDATION LOAN RECIPIENTS TO PAYBACK THE EDUCATION LOAN
Authors: Mohd Idres Nurul Farhanah , Haron Hasnah , Ismail Ishak
Published: October 2020

The issues of loan repayment are still existing until today. One of the state foundations has reported the number of recipients that has not paid their loan are higher than the recipient who has done the repayment. Therefore, the main objective of this study is focusing on the factors that influences the recipient to pay back the loan. 48 questionnaires were distributed to the state foundation’s loan recipients and a small interview were also conducted. Findings showed that the respondents had the intention to repay their loan as they were aware of their responsibilities especially the recipient that have high integrity. However, the inability to secure a good paying job is one of the reasons why they are not able to do so. Parental influence was found to be significant in influencing the loan recipients to repay their loan. It is suggested that the state foundation should increase the sense of responsibility among loan recipients to pay their loan and reminders should be given to their parents in order to convince their children to repay the loan.
FRAUD DEVELOPMENT AND LINKAGES WITH CORRUPTION OCCURRENCES
Authors: Zahari Afzal Izzaz , Arshad Roshayani
Published: October 2020

This paper presents a review of the literature on connecting the relevance of fraud theory towards current and past cases that have already occurred globally. The local focus is towards the Malaysian public sector in terms of the harm that it has towards economic losses that are incurred when there are any actions of fraud. The discussion is through analysing different and varying definitions of fraud by various organisations and people. Discussion crosses throughout various perceptions of authors from different backgrounds such as accountancy, management, economics, psychology, financial crime and others. This paper first outlines the current fraud issues before relating these actions with fraud theories. These actions of fraud can be through collusion or allowed behaviours within each of the organisation. Although there are certain mechanisms in place such as internal control systems, these actions of fraud are still occurring in the current society. Findings indicate that fraud is a diverse and broad subject matter, it is always evolving and is an exciting field of research as more organisations or individuals will commit fraudulent actions although there are control mechanisms in place.

La expulsión de la Compañía de Jesús en 1767 alcanzó los colegios y seminarios de irlandeses, ingleses y escoceses establecidos en España. La función formativa de estas instituciones de nación y el fin misionero al que estaban destinados sus egresados no habían perdido su vigencia durante el reinado de Carlos III. Para conocer el estado en que se hallaban algunos de ellos, un autor anónimo elaboró una memoria recopilatoria con detalles de su fundación, rentas y número de estudiantes. El análisis de su contenido y el carácter consultivo de la relación, puesta en su contexto histórico, proporcionan informaciones de particular interés para conocer el ocaso de una red educativa que eclosionó a finales del siglo XVI y se mantuvo activa hasta su reordenación secular en el Setecientos.

Since along time ago, Muslim scholars in Indonesia have made efforts to da’wa for building a civilized society for community of this part of the land, especially for their muslims. The greatest one of them was Sheikh Mohammed Hashim Ash'ari. He was the founder of Nahdlatul Ulama, one of the largest Islamic social organization in Indonesia. This research aimed to identify the beauty of language styles of his da’wa adopted from his writing Muqaddima al Qanun al Asasy. This research also analyze the principles of building a civilized society of Sheikh Mohammed Hashim Ash'ari’s thought. This research used the descriptive method and the techniques of reading and writing to collect and to classify data. Then to analyze those data used appropriate theories. The results of this research are that the language styles of da’wa of Sheikh Mohammed Hashim Ash'ari in his writing decorated with many types of magnificence, beauty and clear statement. These linguistic manifestations underlined his principles of building a civilized society and that are viewed from many terms used such as meeting, acquaintanceship, union, harmony, cooperation among all its members.
Humanism Civilization in the Perspective of Islamic History: Semantic Study of the Word Da’wa in the Qur’an
Authors: Yakub M.
Published: October 2020

This paper discusses about humanism civilization in the perspective of Islamic history. The approach taken in this journal is the historical narrative method by looking at universal values that favor human interests, expressed in a mindset, by not distinguishing on the basis of ethnicity, religion, skin color, and belief systems and religion. In addition, the author also explains that many aspects of humanity are recorded in Islamic history such as futuh mecca (conquerization of mecca). The author describes there are 4 leaders of Islamic leaders who describe humanitarian events contained in the history of Islam. This certainly awake and give direction to aspects relating to the general needs of humans including justice, equality (egalitarian) love and compassion, generosity, obedience to principles / law, environmental peace to the principles of chivalry and heroism. These universal principles are upheld and expressed by the Prophet Muhammad in his life and that is what he taught to his friends so that they will be passed on to the Muslims afterwards. The presence of this humanist civilization is like an oasis that gives thirst satisfaction to people who have the character of wisdom and have high ideals that all civilizations should elevate the degree of humanity. The impact of humanism civilization in the perspective of Islamic history is very useful because it refers to the principles of the Qur'an that give a universal message that can build humanism civilization that is embodied in the trajectory of Islamic history and continue the values of humanism's great and noble civilization.
The Role of Islamic Preachers in Developing Social Harmony and Civilization in South Sumatera in the 20th Century
Authors: Nasution Nurseri Hasnah
Published: October 2020

In the XXth Century, the da’wa problems that emerged in South Sumatra were the spread of fundamentalism and the cult of persona, the diversity of religious articulations, the vulnerability in the internal environment of religious communities, the plurality of political, social, and religious atmosphere so that they became polemic among academicians, the clergy split into two groups, changes in religious traditions and religious life that are complex, the Muslims of South Sumatra are in position of weakness, poverty, and suffering, because of western imperialism, issues of justice, ideology, and power. Some preachers (Da,i)in South Sumatra appeared to respond and carry out the Da’wa  bi al-lisanl, bi al-kitabah, and bi al-hal. Among the preachers (da’i) are K.H. Anwar Kumpul (1902-1959) represented an independent preacher (free), K.H. Zainal Abidin Fikry represents the government representative, K.H. M. Zen Syukri represents a representative of the NU organization. These three preachers (da’i) are actively building social harmony in different societies of educational and economic status, religious harmony, building an orderly, peaceful, and comfortable society, stopping the people of South Sumatra from making God and Islam as masks of the greed of power and material wealth, glue various differences in society and make it a means for mutual understanding, tolerance, and mutual love. In addition, they also play role in building theoretical and experimental civilizations which include ideas, norms, religious activities, establishing places of worship, educational institutions, libraries, roads, and producing books.

Published: October 2020

This paper examines religious pluralism discourse in post-Reformasi Indonesia. Though there is general consensus about the importance of maintaining inter-religious harmony, there are still various perspectives and arguments on the idealization of dealing with religious diversity in society. The differences are found not only between the advocates and opponents of religious pluralism but also among proponent groups of religious pluralism. This paper looks at how religious organizations for inter-religious harmony struggle for legitimating their religious pluralism ideals in society. In this context, this paper, by using Habermas’ theory of communicative action, focuses on the characteristics of their efforts to communicate with others in the public sphere. It examines inter-faith dialogue done by NGOs’ activities and arguments, focusing on their validity claims for justifying religious pluralism. This paper argues that some conceptions and presuppositions of this theory need to be critically assessed and modified in analyzing these NGOs’ discourse so that it can be appropriately applied to the Indonesian context in which religion has substantial power to influence people’s thoughts and behaviors. Particularly it will point out 1) the problem of universalized rationality, 2) power relation and strategic action, and 3) the role of religious reason in public discourse.

[Artikel ini mengkaji diskursus pluralisme agama di era pasca-Reformasi Indonesia. Meski ada kesepakatan akan pentingnya membangun harmoni lintas agama, tapi pada tataran praktiknya masih ada pelbagai perspektif dan argumentasi dalam menyikapi keanekaragaman agama dalam masyarakat. Perbedaan ini tidak hanya ditemukan di kalangan mereka yang kontra, tapi juga di kalangan mereka yang pro pluralisme agama. Artikel ini bermaksud meneliti bagaimana organisasi agama yang memperjuangkan harmoni lintas agama berjuang memancang ide-ide ideal mereka terkait pluralisme agama di masyarakat. Dalam konteks ini, penelitian ini mengacu pada teori communicative action-nya Habermas dan fokus memantau karakteristik organisasi-organisasi tersebut dalam berinteraksi satu sama lain di ruang publik. Artikel ini bermaksud menguji sejauh mana dialog antar-agama dilakukan oleh organisasi-organisasi ini, terutama validitas klaim mereka dalam menjustifikasi pluralisme agama. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa konsepsi dan asumsi dari teori-teori tersebut perlu ditinjau ulang secara kritis untuk bisa diterapkan dalam konteks Indonesia, di mana agama masih memiliki kekuatan potensial untuk mempengaruhi pemikiran dan perilaku masyarakat. Secara khusus artikel ini akan membahas 1) problem rasionalitas universal, 2) relasi kuasa dan aksi strategis, serta 3) peran logika agama di ruang (diskursus) publik.

The Tradition of Woni: Models of Adaptation of Manggarai Catholics In Encounters With Muslims
Authors: Widyawati Fransiska
Published: October 2020

This article explores the adaptation and modification of the tradition of woni in Manggarai culture, Flores, in encounters with Muslims. Before the Manggarai people met the Muslim community, the tradition of woni was used to honor clans that had certain ceki. Ceki can be compared to the concept of totems in classical anthropological studies, namely animals or plants that are considered sacred by a particular community and become symbols and identities of a clan. Due to its sacred nature, the animal or plant is treated as taboo. In encounters with Muslims, Manggarai Catholics practiced the tradition of woni by providing halal food. This is also done to maintain inter-religious harmony. However, along with the growing awareness of the concept of halal, accompanied by a movement to purify the teachings of Islam and the rise of identity politics, the question of food provided by non-Muslims becomes increasingly sensitive and even crucial. This factor encourages Catholics to adopt variations in practicing the tradition of woni. Employing an ethnographic approach, this study found seven models of adaptation to the tradition of woni practiced by Manggarai Catholics today. The more rigid the Muslim community practices the concept of halal, the higher the adaptation of the Manggarai Catholics to conform to the Muslim standards. Conversely, the easier the practice of Muslims regarding halal food, the model of adaptation by the Manggarai Catholics may become lesser.

Introdução: o Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) possui uma crescente prevalência e elevada morbimortalidade. As condições socioeconômicas podem influenciar os cuidados gerais do paciente e o tratamento medicamentoso. Objetivos: avaliar o perfil clínico e estilo de vida de pacientes com DM2, em atendimento multiprofissional na atenção primária à saúde. Metodologia: estudo transversal realizado à pacientes de baixa renda, inseridos no Programa de Diabetes de uma Unidade de Saúde paranaense através de visitas domiciliares, sendo denominados grupo 1 (em acompanhamento multiprofissional a mais de sete anos) e Grupo 2 (a menos de sete anos). A coleta de dados deu-se por meio de questionário após a aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa nº 1.617.516 em 2016. O programa Statistical Package for the ocial Sciences foi utilizado para as análises estatísticas descritivas. Resultados: houve prevalência do sexo feminino (74,7%) e idade média de 62,2 anos (± 10,3), com diferença significativa na idade entre os grupos (p=0,001). Entre os fatores comportamentais avaliados, o consumo de bebida alcoólica foi maior no grupo 2 (p=0,009), assim como a prática de atividade física de 7 a 9 vezes na semana (p=0,045). Entre as comorbidades apresentadas estão a hipertensão arterial (82%), dislipidemia (62%) e agravos cardíacos (69,3%, p=0,050). O intervalo entre as consultas regulares e o tempo que ficou sem tratamento medicamentoso após o diagnóstico médico foi significativo entre os grupos (p=0,006 e 0,002 respectivamente). Houve melhor adesão ao tratamento contínuo no grupo 1 (42,6%) em comparação ao grupo 2 (35,4%), repercutindo na maior aderência ao uso de insulina no grupo 1 (p=0,002). Conclusão: Os dois grupos tinham baixa renda e escolaridade, elevados índices de falta de aderência ao tratamento, elevada comorbidades e baixa observância aos hábitos adequados de vida. O grupo de maior tempo de DM2 teve maior janela terapêutica. Apesar de um programa estruturado de acompanhamento, falta melhor adequação das orientações multiprofissionais.
