Authors: Collantes Cubas Jorge Arturo , Vigil-De Gracia Paulino , Pérez Ventura Segundo Alberto , Morrillo Montes Oscar Eduardo
Published: February 2019

Introducción. La eclampsia (E) y el síndrome HELLP (H) son dos complicaciones de la preeclampsia que, asociadas, pueden aumentar la morbimortalidad materna. La principal complicación y la causa principal de muerte de esta asociación EH/HE es la enfermedad cerebrovascular hemorrágica (ECH). Objetivos. Determinar diferencias entre las mujeres con EH/HE que presentan ECH y las que no. Definir los tipos de ECH en mujeres con EH/HE. Diseño. Estudio transversal comparativo. Pacientes. Casos de EH/HE en el Hospital Regional Docente de Cajamarca, Perú, 2015. Intervenciones. Se dividió las pacientes con EH/HE en dos grupos: sin ECH y con ECH. Se utilizó el software SPSS 20.0. La comparación de los grupos se realizó con la U de Mann Whitney y chi cuadrado. Fueron diferencias significativas cuando p< 0,05. Resultados. Hubo 23 mujeres con EH/HE: 18 (78,3%) sin ECH y 5 (21,7%) con ECH. Comparamos las mujeres con EH/HE que tenían o no ECH. ECH tuvo OR 4,44 (IC95% 1,19 a 16,55) con p=0,043 de riesgo de muerte, y las plaquetas menores de 30 000 tuvieron OR 4,44 (IC95% 1,19 a 6,55) con p=0,043 de riesgo de ECH. Además, la permanencia en UCI fue mayor que en las que no tuvieron ECH. La mortalidad fue 60%. El 80% de las ECH mostró compromiso ventricular. Hubo 66,7% de hemorragia subaracnoidea y 66,7% de hemorragia intraventricular (HIC). En las HIC, el 100% tuvo compromiso lobar, de las cuales 66,7% mostró compromiso occipital. Conclusiones. La ECH en mujeres con síndrome HELLP asociado a eclampsia estuvo relacionado a valores más bajos de plaquetas y aumentó el riesgo de muerte y estancia en cuidados intensivos.
Cirugía láser fetoscópica en el síndrome de transfusión feto fetal
Authors: Gil Pugliese Savino
Published: February 2019

El síndrome de transfusión de gemelo a gemelo (TTTS) complica alrededor del 10% de todos los embarazos monocoriónicos (MC). Un flujo sanguíneo intergemelar neto, predominantemente unidireccional, a través de anastomosis vasculares placentarias, desencadena una variedad de alteraciones renales y cardiovasculares complejas en ambos fetos. Sin tratamiento, el TTTS grave conduce a una mortalidad superior al 80% y una morbilidad del 15 a 50% en los sobrevivientes. La coagulación láser fetoscópica (CLF) de las anastomosis placentarias es el tratamiento de elección para casos graves antes de las 27 semanas y ha demostrado mejorar los resultados perinatales. El riesgo de rotura prematura de membranas (RPM) y de prematuridad asociada a CLF se debe sopesar con el riesgo de la conducta expectante en cada caso particular. Dado que no hay una manera precisa de predecir la evolución de la enfermedad, y no se ha descrito aun ningún método eficaz para prevenir la RPM posterior al procedimiento, la indicación de la CLF es tan desafiante como el procedimiento en sí mismo.

Published: February 2019

El mielomeningocele se presenta en 17,8:100 000 nacidos vivos. En México se encuentra entre las primeras 10 causas de muerte en niños menores de 10 años y está asociado a alta morbilidad cognitiva, sensorial y motora. Estudios en animales y posteriormente el estudio MOMS (The Management of Myelomeningocele Study) demostró que la reparación prenatal de los defectos del tubo neural disminuye el riesgo de hidrocefalia y mejora la función motora a los 30 meses de edad. La cirugía fetal prenatal descrita en el MOMS para el mielomeningocele se realiza a través de una histerotomía, la cual se asocia con significativa morbilidad materna y fetal. Por lo tanto, se ha evolucionado a técnicas fetoscópicas con menos complicaciones maternas y fetales, obteniendo mejores resultados perinatales. En este apartado se describe las diferentes técnicas fetoscópicas, su evolución, ventajas y desventajas en cada una de ellas, así como los retos en el futuro.
Variación de la microglobulina beta-2 en orina fetal en punciones sucesivas previo a derivación vesicoamniótica antenatal
Authors: Gil Guevara Enrique , Diaz Ramiro , Bermudez Carlos
Published: February 2019

Antecedentes y objetivos. La uropatía obstructiva fetal puede ser tratada precozmente mediante la colocación de derivación vesicoamniótica intrauterina. Los criterios de tratamiento incluyen la ausencia de malformaciones mayores asociadas, cariotipo normal y función renal conservada demostrada por microglobulina beta-2 < 4 mg/dL. Por la capacidad de concentración de orina en la vejiga fetal, si en una primera punción el valor de microglobulina beta-2 es superior al punto de corte, se requiere una segunda punción a las 48 a 72 horas para verificar el valor en orina nueva, no concentrada, que correspondería al valor real. Objetivo. Determinar el comportamiento de la variación de los niveles de microglobulina beta-2 en 2 muestras seriadas de orina fetal, con intervalo de 48 a 72 horas. Pacientes. Fetos con diagnóstico de uropatía obstructiva referidos al Centro Médico Docente La Trinidad, para establecer la posibilidad de omisión de la segunda punción en caso de encontrarse un patrón específico de comportamiento de la disminución de los valores. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio clínico unicéntrico, descriptivo y longitudinal, incluyendo a 15 embarazadas cuyos fetos fueron diagnosticados con uropatía obstructiva y sin cromosopatías, practicándoseles vesicocentesis seriada (48 a 72 horas) para biometría urinaria. Resultados. Los valores de microglobulina beta-2 resultaron > 4 mg/dL en los 15 casos con la primera vesicocentesis, y disminuyeron a < 4 mg/dL en 7 casos (46,6%) en la segunda vesicocentesis. En todos los casos cuando la microglobulina beta-2 fue < 8 mg/dL en la primera vesicopunción, siempre disminuyó a valores muy próximos a 4 mg/dL (máximo de 4,3 mg/dL) en la segunda vesicopunción. Conclusiones. Se plantea la colocación in útero de derivaciones vesicoamnióticas en los casos de uropatía obstructiva fetal cuando la microglobulina beta-2 sea < 8 mg/dL en la primera vesicopunción, omitiendo realizar una segunda vesicopunción.

Published: February 2019

El hígado graso agudo del embarazo es una condición rara que ocurre más comúnmente en el tercer trimestre. Produce disfunción hepática severa asociada a alteración renal y tiempos de coagulación alargados. Se vincula a complicaciones hepáticas y extrahepáticas que pueden causar morbimortalidad materno-fetal significativa y el tratamiento definitivo es la interrupción inmediata del embarazo. Se presenta un caso de hígado graso agudo del embarazo en paciente de primigesta de 40 años, quien presentó epigastralgia de aparición súbita, junto con letargia, náuseas y vómitos. Los exámenes de laboratorio mostraron alteración de las pruebas de funcionalismo hepático y retal, junto con hipoglucemia, realizándose el diagnóstico de hígado graso agudo del embarazo. La paciente fue tratada para corregir las alteraciones metabólicas y se practicó cesárea, presentando mejoría de los parámetros de laboratorio y recuperación postoperatoria completa.

Authors: Reyna-Villasmil Eduardo , Rondón-Tapia Marta , Torres-Cepeda Duly
Published: February 2019

La mastitis granulomatosa idiopática es una enfermedad benigna, rara y crónica. Su etiología no está clara; sin embargo, se ha demostrado que la enfermedad se correlaciona con la lactancia, uso de anticonceptivos orales y hasta un componente autoinmune. La presentación característica es la reacción inflamatoria con granulomas no caseificantes. Las características histológicas incluyen signos de inflamación granulomatosa crónica con células gigantes, leucocitos, células epitelioides y macrófagos, así como microabscesos. En el diagnóstico diferencial, todas las causas de cambios granulomatosos deben excluirse antes de realizar el diagnóstico. Debido a su baja frecuencia, es difícil estandarizar y optimizar el tratamiento. Se presenta un caso de mujer de 36 años con nódulos dolorosos en mama derecha. La clínica y los hallazgos del estudio de imágenes llevaron a sospecha de carcinoma. El examen histopatológico reveló inflamación aguda y crónica con infiltración de macrófagos e histiocitos gigantes perivasculares con reacción granulomatosa gigantocelular, sin signos histológicos sugerentes de malignidad y sugestivos de proceso granulomatoso. Las coloraciones para hongos y micobacterias fueron negativas. La paciente fue diagnosticada como mastitis granulomatosa idiopática. El tratamiento consistió en corticosteroides más metotrexato. La paciente se encuentra libre de recurrencia 18 meses después del tratamiento.
Seismite in the Devonian Sultan Formation, Frenchman Mountain, Nevada: Evidence of far-field effect of the Alamo Event
Authors: Pinto Jesús , Warme John
Published: February 2019

We interpret a discrete, anomalous ~10-m-thick interval of the shallow-marine Middle to Late Devonian Valentine Member of the Sultan Formation at Frenchman Mountain, southern Nevada, to be a seismite, and that it was generated by the Alamo Impact Event. A suite of deformation structures characterize this unique interval of peritidal carbonate facies at the top of the Valentine Member; no other similar intervals have been discovered in the carbonate beds on Frenchman Mountain or in equivalent Devonian beds exposed in ranges of southern Nevada. The disrupted band extends for 5 km along the Mountain, and onto the adjoining Sunrise Mountain fault block for an additional 4+km. The interval displays a range of brittle, ductile and fluidized structures, and is divided into four informal bed-parallel units based on discrete deformation style and internal features that carry laterally across the study area. Their development is interpreted as the result of intrastratal compressional and contractional forces imposed upon the unconsolidated to fully cemented near-surface carbonate sediments at the top of the Valentine Member. The result is an assemblage of fractured, faulted, and brecciated beds, some of which were dilated, fluidized and injected to form new and complex matrix bands between beds. We interpret that the interval is an unusually thick and well displayed seismite. Because the Sultan Formation correlates northward to the Frasnian (lower Upper Devonian) carbonate rocks of the Guilmette Formation, and the Guilmette contains much thicker and more proximal exposures of the Alamo Impact Breccia, including seismites, we interpret the Frenchman Mountain seismite to be a far-field product of the Alamo Impact Event. Accompanying ground motion and deformation of the inner reaches of the Devonian carbonate platform may have resulted in a fall of relative sea level and abrupt shift to a salt-pan paleoenvironment exhibited by the post-event basal beds of the directly overlying Crystal Pass Member.
Detrital zircon geochronology of the Aycross Formation (Eocene) near Togwotee Pass, western Wind River Basin, Wyoming
Authors: Malone David , Craddock John , Garber Kacey , Trela Jarek
Published: February 2019

The Aycross Formation is the basal unit of the Absaroka Volcanic Supergroup in the southern Absaroka Range and consists of volcanic sandstone, mudstone, breccia, tuff and conglomerate. The Aycross was deposited during the waning stages of the Laramide Orogeny and the earliest phases of volcanism in the Absaroka Range. U-Pb geo-chronology using laser ablation multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry LA-ICP-MS was performed on detrital zircons collected from an Aycross sandstone bed at Falls Campground east of Togwotee Pass. The detrital zircon age spectrum ranged fom ca 47 to 2856 Ma. Peak ages, as indicated by the zircon age probability density plot are ca. 51, 61, and 72 Ma. Tertiary zircons were the most numerous (n = 32), accounting for 42% of the zircon ages spectrum. Of these 19 are Eocene, and 13 are Paleocene, which are unusual ages in the Wyoming-Idaho-Montana area. Mesozoic zircons (n = 21) comprise 27% of the age spectrum and range in age from 68–126 Ma; all but one being late Cretaceous in age. No Paleozoic zircons are present. Proterozoic zircons range in age from 1196–2483 Ma, and also consist of 27% of the age spectrum. The maximum depositional age of the Aycross Formation is estimated to be 50.05 +/− 0.65 Ma based on weighted mean of the eight youngest grains. The Aycross Formation detrital zircon age spectrum is distinct from that of other 49–50 Ma rocks in northwest Wyoming, which include the Hominy Peak and Wapiti Formations and Crandall Conglomerate. The Aycross must have been derived largely from distal westerly source areas, which include the late Cretaceous and Paleocene Bitteroot Lobe of the Idaho Batholith. In contrast, the middle Eocene units further to the north must have been derived from erosion of the Archean basement-cored uplift of the Laramide Foreland in southwest Montana.
Subsurface Reinterpretation of Ordovician and Devonian Strata in Southwest Wyoming with Implications for Upwarping Across the Transcontinental Arch
Authors: Anderson Donna , Longman Mark
Published: February 2019

A new interpretation of the subsurface geometries of the Ordovician Bighorn Dolomite and overlying Devonian strata across southwestern Wyoming arises from revising the stratigraphy in a core from the Mountain Fuel Supply UPRR #11–19–104–4 well drilled on the crest of the Rock Springs Uplift in 1962. One of only a few wells to penetrate all or part of the Lower Paleozoic succession in the subsurface of southwestern Wyoming, the well was almost continuously cored through the Devonian–Cambrian succession. From a reinterpretation of the stratigraphy in the core, 22 ft of Bighorn Dolomite is recognized based on the characteristic Thalassinoides bioturbation fabric in skeletal dolowackestone typical of Late Ordovician subtidal carbonate facies ranging from Nevada to Greenland along the western margin of the Great American Carbonate Bank. This lithology is in complete contrast with the alternating dolomitic flat-pebble conglomerate and dolomudstone of the underlying Cambrian Gallatin Limestone and the cyclical units of brecciated anhydritic dolomudstone and quartzose sandstone of the overlying Devonian Lower Member of the Jefferson Formation. Stratigraphic re-interpretation yields insights regarding Ordovician–Devonian stratal geometries across southwestern Wyoming. More widespread than previously portrayed, the Bighorn Dolomite pinches out on the eastern flank of the Rock Springs Uplift. Similar to past interpretations, Devonian strata pinch out east of the Rock Springs Uplift at Table Rock Field. A true-geometry multi-datumed stratigraphic cross section yields insights not obtainable by mapping. Regionally, top truncation of stratigraphic units below the base-Madison Limestone unconformity normally progresses stratigraphically deeper eastward. However, in southwestern Wyoming, the Devonian Lower Member of the Jefferson Formation overlaps the older Bighorn Dolomite by marked onlap across the Rock Springs Uplift and then pinches out by top truncation/onlap near Table Rock Field, forming an “abnormal” overlap relationship along the northern margin of the Transcontinental Arch. The underlying Bighorn Dolomite shows little to no onlap onto the underlying Cambrian section, but is markedly top truncated below the Lower Member of the Jefferson Formation. Comparing proportions of onlap versus top truncation for the two formations constrains the timing of two successive upwarping episodes along the northern margin of the Transcontinental Arch across southwestern Wyoming. The first is arguably Middle Devonian, and the second spans the Devonian–Mississippian boundary. Two subtle and different angular unconformities created by these two episodes imply a persistent fold or tilt axis that sequentially was reactivated along the northern margin of the Transcontinental Arch in southwestern Wyoming.
Seismicity in Nebraska and adjacent states: The historical perspective and current trends
Authors: Filina Irina , Guthrie Kris , Searls Mindi , Burberry Caroline
Published: February 2019

A sudden spike in earthquake events has been observed in central Nebraska. Since April 2018, 26 earthquakes with equivalent moment magnitudes from 2.7 to 4.1 occurred, clustered tightly in Custer County. A similar cluster of 24 earthquakes with equivalent moment magnitudes from 2.6 to 3.7 occurred in Jewell County in northern Kansas in 2017. We have compiled an earthquake database for Nebraska and parts of adjacent states from different sources to determine whether these recent earthquake spikes are consistent with historic seismicity. We identified two historic earthquake clusters occurring in our study area. The first contained 32 events and was active in Red Willow County in southwestern Nebraska from 1977 to 1982. As it coincides spatially with the Sleepy Hollow oil field, it may be related to enhanced oil recovery from that field, although it is also located at the edge of the Chadron-Cambridge Arch. The second historical earthquake cluster is located in Pawnee and Richardson counties in southwestern Nebraska and includes eight earthquakes with equivalent moment magnitudes of 2.3 to 2.8 that occurred in a period from 1982 to 1989 over the Nemaha uplift and appear to be related to the Humboldt fault. We note an increase in both maximum magnitude, as well as in the cumulative seismic moment per cluster with time. We have also used gravity and magnetic fields to map potential basement faults in the study area. Our analysis shows that the two recent earthquake spikes are aligned with the proposed basement faults. Despite this correlation, the cause of this sudden spike in seismicity is not well understood, as the stresses that might reactivate these basement faults are unknown. In addition, both recent clusters are distant from oil and gas operations. More seismic stations are necessary in central Nebraska in order to better detect focal depths and faulting style in the ongoing cluster of earthquakes and investigate possible causes.

5 July 2017 to 31 October 2017

The free movement of bodies and objects once considered critical for the
smooth functioning of contemporary art has appeared, especially since 2017,
increasingly uncertain in this era marked by new forms of nationalism, xenophobia,
and economic isolationism. Indeed, many artists working in this
environment have found it difficult or impossible to cross once unquestionably
open borders, or to ship works to and from exhibitions held across a requisitely
international stage. As an attempt to respond to this crisis, I, along
with Petros Touloudis, curated Reassembly, an exhibition held in the summer
of 2017 on the island of Tinos, Greece. The exhibition came out of an annual
residency program organized by Touloudis’s Tinos Quarry Platform and was
held at the Cultural Foundation of Tinos. Overall, we wanted to ask if there is
a critical role for music can play in the field contemporary art, especially as its
plagued by new forms of border policing and geopolitical conflict.

English acquisition as a second language (ESL) has been a Herculean task for students generally. When it comes specifically to IELTS, it seems to be the most difficult assessment of life because students’ level of English do not meet the IELTS requirements due to incorrect local practices; either due to unconducive environment or social factors for which the best way out is rephrasing the text, getting used to standard English, majoring appropriate use of tense, lack of familiarity with standard accents. Hence, presentation of opinions and variety of vocabulary with it aspects of synonyms and antonyms produce a better result in scoring respectable bands in IELTS.

Published: February 2019

Knowledge about different religions of the world is vital for developing interfaith harmony. The present research aims at finding the portrayal of different religions in English textbooks taught at the Secondary Level in government schools of Pakistan. It is purely a quantitative study. In this context, the reading passages of the textbooks taught in five provinces and the capital are sifted for finding references to different religions. The contents related to religions have been quantified and classified in two broad ways: mention and depiction. The results of the study indicate that religion Islam dominates with 89.8% and 91.9% instances of mention and depiction respectively. The percentage of Christianity Hinduism, Judaism, and Buddhism is 10.2% and 8.1% in mention and depiction respectively. It means the other religions are not given sufficient space. It is, therefore, recommended that attention should be paid to them in the course contents.

The organizing and publishing a journal takes enormous efforts from scientific community, takes trust by all of us, and hard work. In a view of new industry of open access journals, this becomes even harder. Surgical journals, most frequently are publishers and are supported by membership organization such as ASTES. The importance of this conference, that has been changed now to The Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, above all is not only the scientific merits, but the fact that has initiated a multidisciplinary meeting of all clinical and pre-hospital services services and providers who care for trauma and injured patients and those who are are in need for an emergency surgery. In ad-dition, the AJTES , as it continue to build an co-alition of partners, will elevate not only scientific consciousness, but will spearhead the building of the organization of the scientific and political mi-lieu and become an important voice and adviser the government in leading and influencing the training, education and wellbeing of new gen-eration of surgeons, anesthesiologist, intensivist, emergency medicine providers, and overall sub-stantially effect strategic developments of health-care system.
Gender Related Differences in Reported Respiratory Symptoms.
Authors: Habazaj Altin , Tafa Holta , Bardhi Donika , Hafizi Hasan
Published: February 2019

Background: Physiological research on dyspnea has provided some information on how sex differences in lung and airway size can influence the experience of dyspnea during exercise; however, there is still a knowledge gap with regard to sex-related differences in other respiratory symptoms, including cough and sputum production.

Objective: The objective of this analysis was to assess sex related differences in reported objective symptoms using data from the population-based Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) study in Albania.

Method: Males and females with impaired lung function may experience the same symptoms but per-ceive and/or report them differently. In this analysis were included 997 responders who had completed the core questionnaire, which included data on respiratory symptoms using the following questions: “Do you usually cough when you don’t have a cold?” and “Do you usually bring up phlegm from your chest, or do you usually have phlegm in your chest that is difficult to bring up when you don’t have a cold. Chronic was defined as three months or more per year. Data used were drawn from the final report for Albania provided by BOLD team.

Results: Overall, male gender was associated with increased odds for reported chronic cough at any group age [Total: 14.7 (2.3) vs. 6.6 (0.9)]. This difference is very much reduced in the group age 70+ years old [25.8 (8.2) vs. 21.3 (6.8)]. In the contrary when we used the estimated population preva-lence of chronic cough by pack-years and gender, female gender was associated with increased odds for reported chronic cough especially in the 10+ pack-years groups [50.4 (11.0) vs. 12.2 (8.3) in 10-20 pack-years and 29.0 (5.5) vs. 26.0 (3.3) 20+ pack-years] indicating a increased smoking susceptibility of female gender. In contrast, female gender was associated with decreased odds for reported phlegm. Even for the same pack-years of smoking, female gender is associated with decreased odds for report-ed chronic phlegm [0 vs. 7.1 (8.6) in 10-20 pack-years group; 0 vs. 15.4 (3.0) in 20+ pack-years group].

Conclusions: Physicians need to recognize that although a female may not report chronic sputum or phlegm production and a male may not report chronic cough, a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease should still be considered as symptoms often are the first step to a diagnosis of under-lying airway disease.

Published: February 2019

Multiwalled cacbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized by Thermal - Chemical Vapor Deposition (T-CVD) technique using Fe/Ni/Al2O3. Acetylene was used as the source of cacbon and Argon as the carrier gas. The pyrolysis of hydrocacbon was investigated in the range of 400 – 750oC to find out the optimal temperature and the growth mechanism of MWNTs would be discussed. By comparing the degree of crystallization (or graphitic level) of synthesized MWNTs, it was observed that at 6500C, the tube diameter obtained about 10- 20 nm and reaching the highest crystallization level. MWNTs getting at 650oC were then purified through two-step process: air oxidation and acid treatment. The results showed that purification process could produce high purity MWNTs (≈95%).

AGAMA DAN TANTANGAN KEMANUSIAAN KONTEMPORER
Authors: Hudaeri Mohamad
Published: February 2019

Wacana keagamaan kembali menguat ketika masyarakat dunia memasuki milenium ketiga. Kesadaran untuk kembali ke agama ini tidak bisa dilepaskan dari krisis modernitas yang tengah melanda masyarakat. Modernitas disamping mendatangkan kemakmuran material bagi sebagian masyarakat, ternyata juga mengandung berbagai macam paradoks, dehumanisasi dan alienasi.Munculnya berbagai macam penyakit kemanusian ini tidak bisa dilepaskan dari hilangnya ruang spiritual dari kehidupan manusia modern. Akibatnya, modernitas yang selama in diagung-agungkan, telah menyebabkan manusia menjadi kerdil kering dan hampa karena kehilangan makna dan tujuan hidup yang hakiki, yang berada pada ranah paling dalam pada diri manusia,yaitu spiritualitas. Untuk itulah agama kembali dilirik sebagai terapi krisis kemanusiaan.Namun demikian, tidak sedikit orang yang meragukan fungsi positif agama bahwa sebagian dari tindakan kekerasan, eksklusivisme dan berbagai pelanggaran nilai-nilai universal kemanusiaan dilakukan atas nama agama. Jadi bagaimana mungkin agama dapat berperan menjadi solusi krisis ?.Bagi sebagian cendekiawan dan agamawan, tindakan yang melanggar nilai-nilai kemanusiaan yang diatasnamakan agama tersebut disebabkan oleh sesuatu yang kompleks. Salah satunya adalah ketidakmampuan sebagian pemeluk agama dalam memahamii nilai-nilai universal agamanya. Substansi agama telah direduksi oleh pemahaman yang sempit dan kepentingan sesaat.Untuk itulah, saat ini, diperlukan adanya rekonstruksi teologis pada setiap agama agar mampu menghadapi tantangan kemanusiaan kontemporer. Dengan demikian, agama dapat memberikan arah, makna dan tujuan hidup pada manusia, serta tampil secara lebih ramah, sejuk, terbuka dan humanis.Kata-kata Kunci: Krisis Modernitas, Agama Formal, Teologi Universal, Spiritual.
TA'WIL AL-QURAN DAN USUL FIQH DALAM PERSPEKTIF ULAMA TAFSIR
Authors: Anwar H. Saeful
Published: February 2019

Al-Qur’an diturunkan untuk difahami, diamalkan dan didakwahkan. Sebagian ayatnya cukup terang, tetapi sebagian lagi masih memerlukan penjelasan, baik  dengan tafsir,yakni penjelasan makna lapaz dari nash al-Quran, hadist atau ra’yu sesuai arti lahir (yang rajih), maupun dengan ta'wil, yakni memalingkan lafaz kepada makna katanya (marjuh) karena alasan tertentu. Dari sudut bentuknya, ta'wil identik dengan tafsir kecuali dalam beberapa hal, sedang pembahasan paling mendasar antara keduanya adalah bahwa tapsir pada dasarnya kembali kepada riwayat dan makna pertama, sedang ta'wil kembali kepada dirayah dan makna kedua.Sikap ulama terhadap ta'wil secara umum terlihat dari pandangan mereka tentang otoritas dan kaidah-kaidah tafsir secama umum, tafsir bi al-ra’yi kajian khusus tentang kaidah-kaidah kehahasaan dan kajian khusus tentang ta'wil ayat-ayat mutasyabihat. Para ulama yang mempunyai akidah yang sahih, ilmu yang dalam, akhlak yang mulia dan mengamalkan ilmunya, pada umumnya mengakui dan memberlakukan ta'wil pada tempat yang semestinya sesuai prinsip-prinsip dan ruh al-Quran dan al-Sunnah serta kaidah-kaidah kebahasaan, tidak menolak sama sekali dan tidak membahasnya tanpa batas. Tetapi ulama salaf pada umumnya lebih sedikit memakai ta'wil ketimbang ulama khalaf Ada dua bahaya besar yang dapat mengaburkan ajaran al-Qur’an dan al-Sunnah, yaitu riwayat maudlui dan doif serta sehagian israiliyat yang berkaitan dengan tafsir bi al-ma'tsur dan ta’wil fasid yang berkaitan dengan tafsir bi al-ra’yi. Baik pada zaman dahulu maupun pada zaman kontemporer, ta'wil fasid banyak bermunculan karena berbagai faktor.Kata Kunci: Ta’wil, Tafsir, Ushul Fiqh, Ulama Tafsir

Peranan pesantren merupakan lembaga pendidikan Islam tertua dalam penyebaran Islam dan pemantapan ketaatan masyarakat dalam melaksanakan syari'at Islam. Lembaga-lembaga pesantren di Jawa dan Madura berperan dalam penyebaran ajaran Islam dan pembentukan watak keislaman bagi masyarakat sampai ke pelosok pedesaan. Dari lembaga-lembaga pesantren itulah asal-usul sejumlah manuskrip tentang pengajaran Islam walaupun keadaannya sangat terbatas.Di balik peran positif lembaga pendidikan pesantren, lembaga pendidikan ini banyak dikecam karena dianggap sebagai sistem pendidikan statis yang terbelenggu oleh pemikiran-pemikiran ulama abad pertengahan.Begitu pula sumber-sumber pelajaran terbatas kitab-kitab salaf. Dengan berbagai kelemahn umat Islam di seluruh dunia maka terjadilah perubahan sistem pesantren, terutama setelah Indonesia merdeka, maka terjadilah modernisasi pesantren.

Keluarga adalah unit sosial terkecil yang dari padanya suatu bangunan masyarakat bahkan negara-bangsa terbentuk. Dengan demikian keluarga merupakan institusi yang ·terlalu penting untuk diabaikan dalam berbagai disiplin ilmu-ilmu sosial, termasuk di dalamnya sosiologi. Sebagai sub sistem sosial, keluarga juga merupakan agen utama yang turut menggerakkan terjadinya perubahan sosial dalam masyarakat bangsa dan sekaligus agen penting yang harus menghadapinya. Melalui pendekatan teori fungsional-struktural Talcott Parson, penulis mencoba menganalisis komponen utama sistem sosial yang terdapat dalam keluarga serta para anggotanya. Dengan didukung oleh gagasan-gagasan para sosiolog terkemuka lainnya, mulai dari August Comte, Emile Durkheim, hingga Jane P. Carry, akhirnya penulis berkesimprilan bahwa setidaknya ada tiga komponen utama yang lekat dengan sub sistem sosial tersebut yang perlu mendapat. perhatian khusus: peran, norma, dan nilai yang dimainkan, dipedomani, dan diseminasi dalam dan oleh keluarga.Kata Kunci: Sosiologi, Keluarga, Masyarakat, dan Teori Struktural­, Furigsional

INTERVENSI EKSEKUTIF TERHADAP LEGISLATIF DAN PENGARUHNYA TERHADAP KARAKTER PRODUK HUKUM
Authors: Surkati A.
Published: February 2019

Trias Politica yang dirumuskan Montesque dimaksudkan agar penumpukan kekuasdaan tidak terjadi antara legislatif, eksekutif dan yudikatif. Sqyangnya dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan demokrasi modern pemisahan ini tidak sepenuhnya diterapkan termasuk di Indonesia. Pada masa Orde Lama, khususnya masa demokrasi terpimpin, hubungan antara legislatif dan eksekiltif tidak berjalan seperti yang diharapkan. Badan legislatif hasil pemilu 1955 yang seharusnya memiliki kekuasaan tertinggi dalam pembuatan peraturan perundangan, justru diganti oleh eksekutif dengan lembaga "tukang stempel" yang terdiri dari para wakil kelompok fungsional dan regional. Pada masa Orde Baru; fenomena yang sama juga terjadi walaupun badan legislatif terbentuk berdasarkan kehendak rakyat melalui pemilihan umum, namun eksekutif lagi-lagi melakukan intervensi langsung. Para anggota dewan (legislatif) seringkali memilih berusaha mencari dukungan dari presiden (eksekutif) dari pada mewakili kepentingan rakyat.Intervensi eksekutif terhadap legislatif tersebut, mempunyai pengaruh terhadap produk-produk hukum yang dihasilkannya: hukum tentang pemilu, hukum tentang pemda, hukum tentang agraria, hukum tata negara, dan hukum administrasi negara. Produk-produk hukum yang dihasilkan legislatif ini mempunyai karakter konservatif atau ortodok. Namun demikian, · pada · masa reformasi nampaknya hubungan legislatif dan eksekutif mulai berubah ke arah yang semestinya dalam koridor fungsi dan peran masing-masing.Kata Kunci: Legislatif, eksekutif, produk hukum, orde lama, orde baru, reformasi.

Sejarah pelestarian dan perkembangan pengetahuan dan keilmuan manusia dilakukan dengan dua cara yaitu dihafal dan ditulis. Hafalan melahirkan tradisi lisan seperti pada cerita rakyat, sedangkan tulisan melahirkan pula tradisi cetak dan penerbitan.

Proses penulisan dan pelestarian sebuah karya sangat penting disebabkan dua hal, yaitu: pertama, banyaknya orang yang masih berpegang pada tradisi lisan; dan kedua, tradisi tulis dapat dilahirkan tanpa hubungan secara fisik antara guru dan muridnya.

Authors: Pribadi Yanwar
Published: February 2019

Aktivitas perdagangan di Nusantara pada abad ke-16 dan 17 telah berkembang menjadi perdagangan internasional. Penelitian dengan metode sejarah terhadap beberapa sumber memberikan penjelasan bahwa sistem emprium telah menimbulkan kapitalisme Asia yang peranannya tidak kalah penting dibandingkan kapitalisme Eropa. Namun, dalam perkembangannya kapitalisme Asia kurang mendapat dukungan dari sistem politik di Asia. Sistem politik di Asia ketika itu tidak memberi jaminan bagi keselamatan dan hak milik pribadi. Faktor lainnya yang tidak kalah merugikan pada dunia perdagangan swasta ini adalah tidak adanya hak individual yang jelas, serta perlindungan hukum, dari pihak kerajaan. Zaman keemasan kerajaan-kerajaan lslam Nusantara di bidang perdagangan semakin berkurang, terutama setelah munculnya kekuatan dagang dari Eropa.

Published: February 2019

Kelurahan Wonokoyo adalah salah satu kelurahan di Kota Malang yang kaya akan potensi pertanian. Banyak komoditi pertanian tebu dan palawija yang dihasilkan kelurahan Wonokoyo khususnya di RW 5 yang dihimpun oleh Kelompok Tani Ainul Hayat. Namun karena kondisi iklim yang tidak menentu membuat curah hujan menjadi sulit diprediksi.  Padalah jumlah curah hujan sangat menentukan awal masa tanam dan masa pemupukan. Selama ini para petani hanya mengandalkan pengalaman dalam menentukan awal masa tanam dan masa pemupukan, namun karena curah hujan tidak menentu sering terjadi kesalahan dalam memperkirakan curah hujan. Kesalahan dalam memprediksi curah hujan mengakibatkan hasil panen dan kulitas pemupukan menjadi tidak optimal. Alat prediksi curah hujan sangat dibutuhkan untuk memperkirakan rata-rata curah hujan yang akan turun selama sepuluh hari kedepan. Dengan mengetahui perkiraan curah hujan, petani akan mempunyai pedoman dalam menentukan apakah sepuluh hari kedepan baik digunakan untuk awal masa tanam atau masa pemupukan. Alat prediksi curah hujan dibuat dengan sensor pencatat data cuaca dan software embedded system untuk memprediksi curah hujan. Metode yang akan digunakan yaitu hybrid FIS-GA yang pernah digunakan sebagai metode prediksi curah hujan. Hasil luaran yang ditampilkan oleh alat prediksi curah hujan adalah rata-rata curah hujan yang akan terjadi sepuluh hari kedepan.

Methods of extraction of anthocyanine dye from ordinary cherries are investigated. The choice of solvents is due, firstly, to the fact that the boiling points are in about the same range, which will allow removal of the solvent at concentration of the extract obtained without degradation of the resulting substances. Secondly, the solvents have different polarity, which allows extraction of cherries from different berries by the structure of the compound (70% ethyl alcohol, 96% ethyl alcohol, water, chloroform). The dye extraction parameters, the ratio of the amount of dye to the amount of the solvent, the extraction time are selected. The content of the dye in the extract is determined.
