A Critical Review of Dhamani Sharir in the Modern Perspective
Authors: Singhal Tina , Srivastava Nidhi , Srivastava Ravi , Kumar Ajay
Published: April 2022

Ayurveda is a treasure trove of information developed and discovered by our forefathers. To fully comprehend and apply the concept of dhamani sharir, we must first understand Sharira. For students of any system of medicine, understanding of Rachana Sharira (anatomy) is required. Srotas, Siras, and Dhamani are terms from the Vedas. The terms Siras and Dhamani is referred to blood vessels in general. However, according to commentators, Dhamani is a thick blood vessel connecting to the heart, and sira is a thin blood vessel. According to Sushruta, ten Dhamani spread upward, ten downward, and four sideward emerging from the nabhi According to Charak, hridaya produces ten Dhamani. Dhamanis (arteries) described in Ayurveda represent a tubular channel taking origin from the Hridaya(heart) and possess the characteristics of pulsation and circulation of Rasa (lymph chyle or plasma) and Rakta (blood) throughout the body. The up-coursing Dhamani prefers to maintain the body's integrity by performing particular body functions such as sound, touch, taste, smell, sneezing, laughter, speech, and so on. The Dhamanis that come down establish a pathway for Vata, urine, excrement, semen, and contained food to flow downward. The Tiryaggami-Dhamani can be taken as the cutaneous or peripheral vessels supplying the superficial and deep layers of the skin. This essay will assist in learning more about Dhamanis through ancient science.
A Review on Literary Aspect of “Kanta Lauha”
Authors: K Sanoop
Published: April 2022

Rasoushadhis(Mineral and metallic drugs) plays an important role in Ayurvedic therapeutics because of their unique qualities such as quick action, minimum dose and tastelessness. Rasayana(Rejuvenation) and Yogavahi (Catalytic activity) are characteristics of a properly made herbo-mineral preparation, which is also nontoxic, readily absorbable, adaptable and assimilable in the body. Bhasmas are unique Ayurvedic metallic/mineral preparation, treated with herbal juice or decoction to form organometallic complexes, and are widely recommended for treatment of a variety of chronic ailments. The incinerated iron preparations of Ayurveda are known as Lauha Bhasma(Incenerated iron). In Samhitha period Ayas(Iron) was used in the form of fine powder. Kanta Lauhais considered as best variety among Lauhas for Lauha Bhasma compared with Teekshna and MundaLauha.Kanta Lauha is chemically Fe3O4 (magnetite) as per API. Pure magnetite contains 72.4% of Iron, but since this metal never occurs alone, the metal content of real ores is lower. So, an attempt has been made in this article to gather all the possible information regarding KantaLauha explained in Rasashastra classical textbooks.

Authors: Mughal Ainulakbar , Mohammad Wasif  , Sayed Akbar Abbas  , Ghaloo Shayan Khalid , Vardag Abdul Basit Shah , Awan Muhammad Ozair
Published: April 2022

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) is described as a hearing loss of at least 30db in three frequencies in pure tone audiogram over 3 days or less. The cause may be infectious, vascular, systemic immune-mediated or idiopathic. Multiple viral infections have been associated with SSNL. However, dengue fever, which is an RNA viral disease that is directly transmitted by a mosquito of genus Aedes, has been reported to present with SSNHL only thrice in existing literature to the best of our knowledge. There are multiple different proposed mechanisms of SSNHL in viral infections and multiple viruses have been proven to cause hearing loss. However, dengue virus is not one of them. In majority of cases of SSNHL, the exact cause is very difficult to determine. We report the case of a gentleman who had unilateral SSNHL after dengue fever.

Hygienic problems of interaction of artificial lighting and intercellular water (literature review)
Authors: Kaptsov Valery A. , Deynego Vitaly N. , Shipilov Igor V.
Published: April 2022

The role of water and aquaporin system in artificial lighting conditions and their importance for vision and the human body as a whole is considered. The review used the databases Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Global Health, CyberLeninka, and RSCI. The functionally necessary level of water exchange in the human eye was shown to largely depend on the efficiency of aquaporins exposed to aggressive environment. Such effects include an excessive dose of blue light, electromagnetic radiation, and excessive concentration of mercury, copper ions, and zinc ions in the human body. In the conditions of chemical pollution, excessive blue light, the violated efficiency of aquaporins leads to swelling in the functional structures of the eye, changes in their optical characteristics. So far the conditions for the development of diseases of the visual analyzer are created. The optical system of the eye is very sensitive to the geometric dimensions of the cornea, iris, lens and Muller cells. Edema of these cells is the primary causes of optical distortions of images on the retina. The positive effect of humoral regulators of aquaporin activity (vasopressin, estrogens, component of the renin-angiotensin system) on the lens transparency was shown. Aquaporin-0 plays a key role in the development of the refractive index gradient in the mammalian eye lens to prevent spherical aberration. Aquaporin system permeates all cells of the functional structures of the body. A number of researchers suggest structural disorders of water dynamics between and within cells to be the basis of many diseases. More recent data have shown that aquaporin may also be associated with tumor, proliferation and migration of tumor cells, as well as angiogenesis in solid and hematological tumors. The discovery of aquaporins, which provide rapid transport of water through the biological membranes of all living organisms (animals, plants and microorganisms) has disproved the traditional concept and was an outstanding achievement of General biology, botany, physiology, medicine and ophthalmology. Changing the properties of intercellular water in artificial lighting (and other negative factors) is a new physiological and hygienic problem.
Reason of the choice of soil types for hygienic regulation of chemicals (literature review)
Authors: Voronina Liudmila P. , Ponogaybo Ksenia E. , Savostikova Olga N.
Published: April 2022

The article discusses a functional-ecological approach to the selection of soils for the purpose of hygienic regulation of chemicals. The functional-ecological approach used to substantiate the choice of soil types in standardization is associated with the analysis of their main, variable functional characteristics including humus state, particle size distribution, oxidizing capacity, sorption capacity, cation exchange capacity, etc. The choice of the type of soil can be made using the data on the classes, distinguished by the parameters of the stability of the functioning of the soils. The approach will allow making a rational choice of soils from all their diversity. According to the degree of stability and development, it is proposed to use contrasting options for soils, taking into account the area they occupy. The functional-ecological approach does not imply the choice of a specific soil characteristic, but takes into account the cumulative assessment of all soil properties according to the principle of their sustainability. In addition, it is advisable to create a network for hygienic rationing and maintain a database of the results obtained throughout the country. The main databases for the literature search were Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Global Health, CyberLeninka, scientific electronic library elibrary.ru (RSCI). Since this topic affects the formation of an approach in the guidelines for determining the maximum permissible concentration, the review publication included information on National Russian standards, educational (national Atlas of soils of the Russian Federation, WRB - World Reference Base of Soil Resources) and scientific literature.

Early Detection of Preschool Children with ADHD and the role of mobile Apps and AI
Authors: Tsakou Vasiliki , Drigas Athanasios
Published: April 2022

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with the main symptoms of attention deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity, to the extent that it creates or exacerbates existing behavioral problems and is a brake on a person's daily life.The process of early detection of developmental disorders is done with different diagnostic criteria, which are evaluated by the relevant interdisciplinary team in order to conclude if the child has ADHD and what therapeutic approach should be followed (3). It seems that many of the adverse long-term consequences that characterize ADHD can be avoided when an intervention is started in preschool, when the brain is likely to be more "plastic" and possibly prone to permanent modifications, and before complicating factors such as comorbid psychiatric disorders, academic failure and poor social and family relationships emerge, making successful treatment more difficult. The result of the study of the above researches confirms that the development of diagnostic tools, the interest of researchers and the awareness of parents through a child-centered pedagogical upbringing system makes the Early Detection of ADHD possible (8). The interest of teachers and parents has turned to prevention, Early Detection and Early Intervention while creating the idea of integration and social inclusion of children with problems(3).
não-lugar da biotecnologia e a pandemia da Covid-19 no Brasil

Published: April 2022

Em meio ao contexto atual de uma pandemia, provocada por um novo tipo de coronavírus, um dos maiores desafios que assola pesquisadores e educadores é informar a população sobre questões científicas, como a produção de vacinas e os testes de detecção da doença (COVID-19), devido ao desconhecimento de questões biotecnológicas por grande parte das pessoas. Em contraposição, há uma série de notícias que circulam, nos mais variados meios de comunicação, sobre essas questões. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho visa refletir sobre o lugar dos discursos biotecnológicos. Pautados nos pressupostos da Análise de Discurso de vertente francesa, mobilizamos noções como condições de produção, silêncio e formação discursiva para analisar algumas materializações da linguagem, principalmente de cunho jornalístico. Nossos resultados apontam para um não-lugar da Biotecnologia na sociedade, que resulta de uma ausência de materialidade histórica que não permite a estabilização de sentidos deste campo do conhecimento
relações dialógicas no pronunciamento oficial do presidente Jair Messias Bolsonaro sobre a pandemia do Coronavírus

Published: April 2022

Por meio da linguagem, interagimos, agimos e valoramos. Além de carregar valores, indicar nosso papel social e nossa posição em dado momento da história, nosso agir no mundo, por meio da linguagem, implica que nos responsabilizemos pelo dizer. Considerando tais aspectos, buscamos neste texto, a partir de reflexões teóricas centradas em pensadores do Círculo de Bakhtin, analisar as relações dialógicas presente no pronunciamento oficial feito pelo Presidente da República Federativa do Brasil, Jair Messias Bolsonaro (Sem partido), em 24 de março de 2020, sobre a pandemia do novo Coronavírus. As análises empreendidas mostram que o pronunciamento do Presidente constitui-se como resposta ao apelo da população, feito por meio da mídia, de uma posição oficial sobre a doença, além de dialogar com discursos anticientíficos. O posicionamento do Presidente está bem marcado, a partir das relações dialógicas presente em seu discurso, demonstrando o seu desrespeito à ciência, à imprensa e à vida.
“Tentando amenizar a impotência do confinamento”:
Authors: Xavier Glayci , Coelho Cardoso Eveline
Published: April 2022

Este trabalho dedica-se à análise de um grupo de tiras dos Bichinhos de Jardim, da cartunista Clara Gomes, publicadas entre maio e dezembro de 2020.  Protagonizadas por uma joaninha antissocial e extremamente crítica, as tiras selecionadas ensejam a reflexão sobre a construção da categoria do humor em textos verbo-visuais que, neste recorte, tematizam o “novo normal” decorrente da pandemia do novo coronavírus. Fundamentada essencialmente na Teoria Semiolinguística de Análise do Discurso, de Patrick Charaudeau, daremos destaque à configuração do humor como uma maneira de dizer inserida em um quadro enunciativo, com foco em sua manifestação pela via da ironia. Esta, por sua vez, é concebida como um procedimento de enunciação que se apoia na relação entre explícito/implícito e na dissociação de um sujeito comunicante concreto e sua versão discursiva, que diz o contrário do que ele pensa. Intenta-se descrever, pois, de que maneira esse jogo promove efeitos de sentido humorísticos, respondendo aos anseios de captação do gênero tira cômica no contexto midiático e, consequentemente, suavizando a sensação de caos pandêmico por intermédio da linguagem.
Patemização em charges sobre a vacina contra a Covid-19 no Brasil

Published: April 2022

Este trabalho toma por objeto de análise as estratégias linguístico-discursivas evidenciadas em charges que têm como tema posicionamentos referentes à crise sanitária provocada pela Covid-19 no Brasil. Procura-se desvelar alguns efeitos de sentido perceptíveis em charges sobre os diversos posicionamentos a respeito da vacinação contra o vírus. Partimos dos pressupostos teóricos da Teoria Semiolinguística do Discurso, cujo um dos postulados defende que a argumentação pode ser engendrada por meio da mobilização das emoções (CHARAUDEAU 2007b; 2010). Utilizamos também alguns conceitos da Teoria Multimodal da Comunicação, no que se refere aos sentidos serem produzidos por diversos modos semióticos (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2006). Propomos analisar os índices de patemização presentes em algumas charges provenientes do jornal Folha de São Paulo, publicadas durante a pandemia. Observa-se que existe a busca por um efeito patêmico, por meio de uma argumentação baseada em múltiplas semioses.

Tendo como principal aporte teórico a Teoria Semiolinguística do Discurso, este artigo tem como proposta analisar a construção discursiva do ex-Ministro da Saúde Luiz Henrique Mandetta, acerca da problemática da Covid-19, em entrevista concedida ao Programa Roda Viva da TV Cultura, no dia 12 de outubro de 2020. A partir de fragmentos transcritos da entrevista, procura-se observar a sobreposição e a dissonância de vozes presentes na narrativa do ex-Ministro, no que se refere às instâncias técnica, política e midiática em que se coloca, numa gradativa desconstrução da sua identificação inicial com o fazer político-discursivo do presidente Jair Bolsonaro. Agenciam-se as categorias discursivas do comportamento enunciativo em que essas vozes sobrepostas e dissonantes são evidenciadas, bem como a instauração de uma tópica do medo: na fala de Mandetta, o medo da doença e da morte e na fala relatada de Bolsonaro, o medo do caos econômico.
As flores dirigem sua corola para o sol: uma reflexão sobre o cânone, a leitura e o ensino da literatura
Authors: Magri Dirceu
Published: April 2022

RESUMO: Trata-se, primeiramente, de uma reflexão sobre os percalços que envolvem a aceitação ou a recusa do cânone no âmbito dos Estudos Literários e Culturais, os quais, pode-se afirmar, deflagraram uma crise nesses domínios. Na sequência, procurou-se abordar o status do leitor a partir de dados disponibilizados por pesquisas como Retratos da Leitura – 4ª. Edição, do Instituto Pró-Livro, e a sondagem realizada pelo mesmo instituto em parceria com o Itaú Cultural, cujo objetivo fora traçar o perfil dos frequentadores da Bienal’19 e da FLUP’19, ambas ocorridas no Rio de Janeiro. No caso, utilizou-se este perfil do leitor extramuros para posicionar o aluno-leitor que adentra a universidade. A partir desses dados, comentou-se a postura, até certo ponto refratária, do ensino da literatura nas escolas, concluindo por uma terceira via em que ambos, os Estudos Literários e Culturais, se irmanados na abordagem de um mesmo objeto, o texto, corroboram para a resiliência das Letras.

Oroszország Ukrajna elleni háborúja jelentős transzformatív változásokat indított el a német külpolitikában. Németország komoly erőforrásokat allokál védelmi képességeinek fejlesztésébe, fegyvereket exportált nyílt katonai konfliktusba, és úgy tűnik, megvált az ország keleti dimenziójának külpolitikai vonalvezetésében meghatározó Ostpolitik alapvetéseitől. A politikai döntéshozók csökkenteni kívánják az orosz energiahordozóktól való függés mértékét. A most látott külpolitikai fordulat tartósságát illetően megengedett az egészséges kétely, ugyanakkor az orosz agresszió olyan sokkterápiával ért fel a német politika számára, amely erősítheti a kormány elhatározását a bejelentett vállalások véghezvitelében. A német külpolitikai transzformáció nyílt végű, még nem látni, milyen kifutása lesz a most zajló folyamatoknak.

Microenvironment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck as an analogy of a healing wound Czech version
Authors: Bandúrová Veronika , Smetana Karel , Plzák Jan , Dvořánková Barbora
Published: April 2022

Numerous interactions occur among fibroblasts, keratinocytes and immune cells during wound healing. The release of cytokines supports formation of granular tissue which then fills the wound. A chronic wound appears when this complex process is disrupted. We can see this problem in patients with diabetes. Granular tissue is very similar to the stroma of solid tumors. This work is focused on parallels between a healing wound and tumor. It aims to clearly describe the regulation of both processes. New knowledge in this field can contribute to revealing new therapeutic possibilities in chronic wounds and solid tumors.

From Star Wars: A New Hope to The Rise of Skywalker, this is the first complete assessment and philosophical exploration of the Lucasfilm universe.

Lucasfilm examines the ways these iconic films were shaped by global cultural mythologies and world cinema, as well as philosophical ideas from the fields of aesthetics and political theory. Cyrus Patell also looks at how this ever-expanding universe of cultural products and enterprises became a global brand and asks: can a film director be both an auteur and a corporation?

More than any other film franchise, Star Wars and Lucasfilm have become part of the cultural imagination. The passionate fan base has played a decisive role in the themes, content, casting and direction of George Lucas’ oeuvre. Within these pages, Patell explores what it means for films and their creator to become part of cultural history in an unprecedented way.

Trajetórias da cartografia: da colonialidade a descolonialidade
Authors: Pereira Cassio Expedito Galdino , Costa Brenda Martoni Mansur Corrêa da , Ferreira Keila Maria Bezerra de Lima
Published: April 2022

O presente artigo busca mostrar a trajetória da Cartografia desde a colonialidade até a descolonialidade, com o intento de discutir o papel do ativismo cartográfico contra o projeto do sistema-mundo colonial instaurado na modernidade para impor a dominação do território, do ser, do saber e do poder. Nesse sentido, mergulhando na história social da Cartografia, nota-se como os mapas e mapeamentos foram naturalizados para atender os interesses do capitalismo, apagando os saberes e fazeres territoriais dos povos subalternizados. Contra isso, desde a década de 1980 surge perspectivas plurais, que a partir de indisciplinamento da Cartografia feito por agentes externos e povos subalternizados tencionam leituras críticas e lutas sociais do território. Assim, partiremos dessas reflexões para buscar alternativas que radicalizem e fortaleçam os saberes-fazeres dos povos subalternizados.

The relative effectiveness of cervical spine manipulation alone, dry needling alone and cervical spine manipulation combined with dry needling for the treatment of episodic tension-type headaches
Authors:   , Trollope Leslie John Watts
Published: April 2022

Episodic Tension–type headache (ETTH), which has a high prevalence, is the most common headache. Manual therapeutic approaches towards Episodic Tension-Type Headaches (ETTHs) have not been fully explored. However, cervical spine manipulation (CSM) and dry needling are found to be successful modalities for the treatment of tension-type headache (TTH). Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of CSM alone, dry needling alone and CSM combined with dry needling in the treatment of ETTHs. Objectives The objectives of this study include: determining the effectiveness of CSM alone, dry needling alone and CSM combined with dry needling in terms of objective and subjective data for the treatment of ETTHs. Method Forty five participants suffering from ETTHs, between the ages of eighteen and fifty, were recruited through convenience sampling and were randomly allocated to one of three equal groups (15 per group). The three different groups were: (A); CSM alone, (B); dry needling alone and (C); CSM in addition to dry needling. The study took place over a period of four weeks involving six consultations. Each participant received a headache diary for the duration of the study. At the first consultation the participant received the headache diary and was monitored for one week before the treatments commenced. Thereafter, four treatments were administered over the next two weeks, depending on group allocation. Participants were also monitored with the headache diary for one week after the last treatment. The objective data for each participant consisted of cervical range of motion (CROM) and pressure–pain threshold readings, measured using a CROM goniometer and an algometer respectively. The subjective data for each participant was collected using a headache diary and a headache questionnaire/disability index. SAS version 9.1.3 was used to analyse the data. A p value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results A decrease in headache duration, frequency, intensity and severity and increases in CROM and algometer measurements were observed in all groups. However, no statistically significant differences were found between the three groups in terms of objective and subjective measurements although, a statistically significant improvement from consultation five to six was found in Group C in terms of headache disability. Conclusion CSM and dry needling, used in isolation or in combination are effective in the treatment of ETTHs although Group C did show superiority over the other groups in the long term with respect to the disability index.

Published: April 2022

Background The South African health care system is guided by the primary health care approach (PHC), which is based on the principles of accessibility, availability, affordability, equity and acceptability which are the cornerstone of primary health care. The Comprehensive PHC Service Package for South Africa is the guiding document for transforming PHC in South Africa standardizing services and increasing access to PHC services. This study will focus on the “Clinic: Fast Queue/Repeats” component of the Package. This is the protocol which guides the management of chronic disease care for adults, geriatrics and paediatrics. According to the Package, this service is for patients who have been assessed previously either at a CHC or at a clinic. For repeat medicines no assessment is required except after three months, and waiting time is minimized through the use of pre-packaged drugs. Methods A cross sectional qualitative design using a descriptive method was used to explore the experiences of the clinic users of the fast queue. A two stage sampling technique was used namely cluster and purposive sampling. In the first instance cluster sampling technique was used to sample clinics in each of the three sub-districts namely south, north and west sub districts of eThekwini municipality and purposive sampling was used to select PHC facilities, those with the highest number of attendees seen over a period of three months and the users of fast queue. Results The findings of the study revealed that there were positive factors which contributed to the satisfaction of participants and negative factors which caused dissatisfaction among participants.

Pusri Palembang Hospital is a public hospital that has implemented a Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS) since 2012. SIMRS supports all health care business processes and administrative procedures to obtain information quickly, precisely, and accurately. During the implementation of SIMRS, some obstacles often occur in its use, such as user complaints regarding the operational functions of the system so that it has not run optimally. This study aims to evaluate the success of implementing SIMRS at the Pusri Hospital in Palembang and determine the effect between variables. This study uses the HOT-Fit model variable consisting of human components (system use and user satisfaction), organization (organizational structure and environment), technology (system quality, information quality, service quality), and benefits. This study uses a survey research type with qualitative methods. Based on the analytical approach, this research is classified into quantitative research. It was preceded by quantitative research with 165 respondents and followed by qualitative research by interviewing six informants. The data analysis technique used is PLS-SEM with SmartPLS tools. The results showed that on the technology component: the quality of the system (73.0%) was good, the quality of information (74.2%) of the data produced was accurate, quality, and relevant, and the quality of service (75.5%) was good. The human component: the use of the system (74.2%) is good because the officers receive the system well, and user satisfaction (75.6%) is satisfied using SIMRS. Organizational Components: organizational structure (78.0%) and organizational environment (73.6%) are suitable. In terms of benefits (76.1%), it has helped increase efficiency and effectiveness in work. Based on the results of hypothesis testing in path analysis, it is known that there are eight relationships between variables that have a significant effect and four relationships that do not have a significant effect. The most significant influence is the influence of the organizational structure on the organizational environment. At the same time, the lowest level of correlation is the relationship between the quality of information and the use of the system. The overall success rate of SIMRS implementation is 76.1%. The research results show that the existence of the system helps users support their work and the successful use of the system from the user's perception at this time is at a successful level.

Objective. To compare different variants of TTV, TTMDV, and TTMV DNA detection in the blood plasma of patients with various liver diseases and in individuals without signs of liver disease.

Materials and methods. To detect TTV TTMDV, and TTMV DNA, the PCR method was used.

Results. A fairly high frequency of TTV virus DNA detection was found using different laboratory approaches. The frequency of TTV DNA detection was significantly highest when using the primers for the non-coding region UTR – 77.3 % compared with the coding region ORF1 – 38.4 % (p < 0.001) and the commercial kit 53 % (p < 0.005).

Conclusion. TTV DNA is detected significantly more often in patients with liver diseases compared with healthy individuals (90.3 % and 65.6 % in the UTR region and using the commercial kit, respectively), TTMV DNA (83.9 % – UTR region) and mixed DNA of the TTV + TTMDV + TTMV viruses (62.4 % – UTR region). To standardize the DNA detection of the TTV family viruses by the PCR method, it is advisable to create a panel of sera containing reliably positive and negative samples.

Published: April 2022

The work describes a clinical case of urgent percutaneous dilational tracheostomy in complicated conditions. The surgery was performed on a 47-year-old patient with decompensated stenosis of the larynx associated with a massive recurrent malignant tumor of the thyroid gland. It was not possible to perform a standard tracheostomy procedure due to widespread tumor infiltration of the trachea and soft tissues of the neck, extensive scars after previous operations, the inability to extend the neck due to Bekhterev’s disease. In addition, the patient developed severe dyspnoea in the supine position. Given the above, low percutaneous dilational tracheostomy was performed under local anesthesia directly above the jugular notch of the sternum in the patient’s sitting position. Due to the absence of specialized tools at the General Surgery Department of the Central District Hospital, a set for percutaneous nephrostomy was used. This technique can be used in urgent situations when it is impossible to perform standard conicotomy or tracheostomy.

Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan di Dusun Keling Desa Kalijaga Tengah tepatnya di Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur,an (TPQ) Al-Alifa yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pemahaman anak-anak santri TPQ terhadap ilmu agama. Metode yang digunakan dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian ini adalah mentoring dan partisipasi aktif. Dengan metode tersebut kami menemukan bahwa pembelajaran Diniyah yang dilaksanakan oleh TPQ Al-Alifa telah berjalan dengan baik terutama dalam pembelajaran Iqra (belajar membaca Al-Qur,an). Namun keadaan tersebut tidak ditemukan dalam pembelajaran agama sehingga anak-anak santri TPQ tidak memiliki pengetahuan agama Islam dasar yang memadai. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut kami mengadakan mentoring dan partisipasi aktif guna untuk meningkatkan pemahaman keagamaa Islam dasar bagi santri TPQ.
