Munāsabah dalam Tafsir Al-Qur’an Al-Karim Karya Mahmud Yunus
Authors: Marzuki Ahmad
Published: November 2024

This paper reviews the discourse on munāsabah found in the Qur'anic exegesis by Mahmud Yunus. This monumental tafsir sparked discussion due to Mahmud Yunus' bold approach to interpreting the Qur'an. Munāsabah is a study within the Ulumul Qur'an (the sciences of the Qur'an) that holds aesthetic value in the process of revelation since the Qur'an was first revealed. It serves as a historical key to understanding the context of certain verses when they were revealed. This research explores various aspects, including the munāsabah present in Mahmud Yunus' tafsir. This research employs a qualitative method based on library research, combining two sources: the primary source in the form of Tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim and secondary sources such as journals, blogs, or relevant literature. The results of this study reveal that the author identified elements of munāsabah based on Mahmud Yunus' theoretical framework. The first is munāsabah between one surah and another in the Qur'an (such as between Surah Al-Baqarah: 22 and Surah An-Nur: 43). The second is the munāsabah between the end of one verse and the beginning of the next (such as between the end of Al-Baqarah: 219 and the beginning of Al-Baqarah: 220).

Authors: Kusnir Patrik , Baig Shahbaz
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
The present case report investigates the influence of SYNTHESIT dietary supplements on serum cholesterol levels in a 69-year-old male patient with dyslipidemia from Sevastopol, Russia. During the observation period, the patient’s cholesterol levels initially decreased after he began taking SYNTHESIT. However, this was followed by a slight increase in cholesterol levels as the supplement regimen continued. The results indicate that SYNTHESIT has an inconsistent effect on cholesterol; it lowers it at first and then causes a small increase over time. This case underlines the need for further studies to explore the long-term effects of SYNTHESIT on cholesterol management and its possible implications for dyslipidemia treatment strategies.

Published: November 2024

Introducción: La gingivitis descamativa (GD) se caracteriza por eritema intenso, descamación y ulceración de la encía libre e insertada, y suele presentarse como una condición dolorosa asociada con enfermedades sistémicas. Un alto porcentaje de casos de GD se relaciona con condiciones dermatológicas como el liquen plano y el penfigoide de las mucosas. Sin embargo, otras enfermedades autoinmunes mucocutáneas, como el pénfigo vulgar, también pueden manifestarse con síntomas gingivales similares. Descripción del caso: Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 51 años con antecedentes de diabetes e hipertensión controlada, diagnosticada con enfermedad periodontal estadio IV grado B y GD asociada al pénfigo. Durante el examen clínico se observó el signo de Nikolsky, un indicador de acantólisis activa, frecuentemente relacionado con anticuerpos epidérmicos presentes en el pénfigo.  Tratamiento: incluyó instrucciones de higiene oral, control de la biopelícula, raspado y alisado radicular, y terapia con corticosteroides tópicos (mometasona al 0,2%). La paciente experimentó una mejora notable en la condición gingival, aunque tuvo recaídas y remisiones durante el seguimiento anual. Conclusión: El manejo efectivo de la GD y enfermedades relacionadas requiere un diagnóstico preciso y tratamiento adecuado. Este caso resalta la importancia de diferenciar entre GD y pénfigo para optimizar los resultados terapéuticos.

La universidad en su ámbito de universalidad en base a su trilogía, como es la enseñanza, vinculación con la colectividad e investigación, entra a un profundo debate en la actualidad, por cuanto en su conjunto con la colectividad, surge una reflexión profunda actual sobre los sujetos y las instituciones, y del surgimiento de un nuevo paradigma institucional. La institución educativa, por ejemplo, desde su aparición, ha ocupado un lugar preponderante en el desarrollo social y en la cultura,  sin embargo, también se encuentra como eje de debates sociales,  críticas sobre  su pertinencia y voces que reclaman su transformación para hacerla más acorde con la postmodernidad.  Entre las manifestaciones de la escuela, a la universidad se le ha dado un lugar muy especial, no solamente como lugar para la formación avanzada, también como centro de la producción de conocimiento científico y pilar para el desarrollo de las disciplinas, no obstante, esta concepción ha instalado, en términos del imaginario colectivo, una distancia importante entre la institución, los saberes y los profesionales, con la vida cotidiana. Es con esto que se pretende llegar cuál es el papel de la responsabilidad universitaria en las instituciones superiores de Ecuador. Por eso el objetivo es cómo influye la responsabilidad social universitaria en la adecuada implementación sobre el desarrollo organizacional, tecnológico, económico y científico. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, de alcance descriptivo

En el presente estudio se examina la integración de las narrativas digitales como una estrategia innovadora destinada a potenciar la comprensión lectora en alumnos de educación primaria. Las narrativas digitales, al combinar texto, imágenes, audio y otros elementos multimedia, proporcionan oportunidades de interacción que captan la atención de los estudiantes y mejoran su capacidad de comprensión en profundidad. Este enfoque se encuentra en consonancia con las corrientes actuales de la tecnología educativa, ofreciendo un ambiente de aprendizaje dinámico, participativo y personalizado. El proyecto experimental realizado con estudiantes de educación primaria se enfocó en el uso de plataformas de narrativas digitales con el objetivo de mejorar su habilidad de lectura crítica y comprensiva. Mediante el uso de dichas herramientas, los estudiantes pudieron acceder a textos que incorporaban recursos visuales y auditivos, lo cual enriqueció su experiencia de lectura y contribuyó a mejorar su habilidad para interpretar y analizar el contenido. Los resultados del estudio señalaron un progreso importante en la habilidad de comprensión lectora, sobre todo en los estudiantes que tenían dificultades previas en la comprensión de textos. El enfoque multimodal favoreció una enseñanza más personalizada, acorde a las necesidades específicas de cada estudiante. La plataforma de narrativas digitales posibilitó que cada estudiante pudiera interactuar de forma autónoma con los materiales de estudio, a su propio ritmo y de acuerdo con sus preferencias. La importancia de este aspecto fue fundamental para fomentar el interés y la motivación de los estudiantes, dado que les permitía personalizar su proceso de aprendizaje de acuerdo con sus necesidades individuales. La interacción con textos multimedia proporcionó a los estudiantes una experiencia educativa más enriquecedora y personalizada, lo que resultó en un mayor compromiso con la lectura y una mejora en su capacidad de retención. El artículo resalta que la utilización de narrativas digitales promueve una educación inclusiva y accesible, beneficiando tanto a los estudiantes con altos niveles de desempeño como a aquellos que necesitan apoyo adicional en la lectura. Estas herramientas ofrecen una variedad de modos de interacción que posibilitan la participación activa y significativa de los estudiantes con diferentes estilos de aprendizaje. En síntesis, la integración de narrativas digitales en el ámbito educativo se muestra como una táctica eficaz y flexible para potenciar la comprensión de lectura, en consonancia con las exigencias del entorno digital actual y fomentando una educación inclusiva para la totalidad de los alumnos.

It is reported that ninety-four percent of children experience some form of abuse in Ghana. Where child abuse exists, an appropriate response is child protection. Dzemeni, a fishing community in the Volta Region of Ghana is noted to have a history of high prevalence of child abuse, trafficking, child labour, and exploitation. This study aims to explore the perspectives of religious leaders on child abuse and analyse efforts by religious leaders, including inter-religious engagements for child protection in Dzemeni. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected from 15 religious leaders, comprising eight clergy, four traditional leaders and three Muslim leaders. The results showed that, although religious leaders understood the concept of child protection and undertook measures such as education of the public and provision of psychosocial support for abused children, there were no inter-religious efforts towards child protection in the community. The paper posits that inter-religious engagements for child protection could contribute significantly to the prevention of child abuse in Dzemeni.
