Authors: Muslim Ibrahim H. , Neamah Nadheerah F. , Shari Falah H.
Published: August 2024

Sodium copper chlorophyllin (SC-C) is widely used for its biological properties and color. This study evaluated SC-C's antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects in male rats treated with indomethacin. Fifty rats were divided into five groups: control, indomethacin, rabeprazole, and two SC-C dosages (35 mg/kg and 70 mg/kg). Indomethacin reduced serum GPx levels, but rabeprazole and SC-C treatments restored them. MDA levels increased with indomethacin but normalized with other treatments. Indomethacin also lowered IL-10, IL-4, and TNF, which returned to normal in treated groups. Histopathology showed SC-C reversed liver damage from indomethacin. SC-C demonstrates strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent.
Highlight:
 

SC-C significantly restores serum GPx levels reduced by indomethacin.
SC-C normalizes MDA, IL-10, IL-4, and TNF levels, countering oxidative stress.

Published: August 2024

Background: Renal dialysis patients face numerous challenges throughout treatment and experience significant psychological pressures, including depression. The positive impact of psychological hardiness on mental health is notable and can lead to improved outcomes for individuals with depression. Specific Background: Depression is prevalent among renal failure patients, often going unrecognized and adversely affecting daily routines, social interactions, and overall well-being, potentially leading to higher mortality rates. Knowledge Gap: While the relationship between psychological hardiness and depression in renal failure patients has been suggested, comprehensive data quantifying this relationship is lacking. Aims: This study aims to determine the prevalence of depression symptoms and their correlation with psychological hardiness in renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. Results: Conducted as a descriptive correlational study from December 2023 to May 2024, 200 patients from Baghdad hospitals participated. The average age was 48.21 years, with 53% being male. Depression symptoms were reported at minimal (29.5%) and moderate (25.5%) levels, with an overall mean depression score indicating a moderate level (20.335±10.783). Psychological hardiness was moderate in 52.5% of patients. A significant negative correlation was found between psychological hardiness and depression symptoms (p-value = 0.001). Novelty: This study highlights the moderate levels of both psychological hardiness and depression symptoms among renal failure patients and establishes a significant inverse relationship between the two variables, suggesting that higher psychological hardiness is associated with lower depression symptoms. Implications: The findings suggest the need for community institutions to provide comprehensive support, boost self-confidence, and enhance life satisfaction for renal failure patients.

Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI) adalah bentuk Negara berasas pada hukum yang bersifat demokratis dimana kedaulatan diatur dalam Undang-Undang dasar dan Nilai-nilai yang terkandung sesuai ajaran agama pemeluknya serta terjewantahkan dalam kehidupan keseharian. Dalam hal ini perkawinan yang sudah diatur sesuai dengan berbagai ragam sesuai syariat hukum Islam ataupun ajaran masing-masing agama dan kepercayaan yang dianut oleh pemeluknya, tanpa terkecuali. Negara hanya memfasilitasi serta menjadi tugas atas jaminan bagi setiap penduduknya untuk melakukan ibadah. Dalam hal ini, pernikahan sesuai dengan nilai, tuntutan dan ajaran agamanya. Akan tetapi sekarang maraknya praktik penggunaan data orang lain untuk kepentingan pernikahan beda agama. Apabila negara mengharuskan suatu aturan hokum berlandaskan Hukum agama sebagai dasar dan hokum positif nantinya akan bertabrakan dengan ajaran agama dan bertentangan dengan hukum yang diatur negara dalam Pasal 2 Undang-undang nomor 1 tahun 1974 tentang perkawinan yang sah, apabila dilakukan menurut hukum masing-masing agamanya dan kepercayaannya itu. Secara Konstutusional negara memang wajib melindungi kebebasan beribadah warganya, seperti tertuang dalam pasal 28(E) Undang-Undang dasar 1945 tentang, setiap orang bebasmemeluk agama dan beribadahmenurutagamanya, hak atas kebebasan kepercayaan, menyatakan pikiran dan sikap. Dalam hal ini menurut ajaran agamanya untuk melaksanakan hak ibadahnya dikaitkan dengan dasar hokum pernikahan di Indonesia.

Perkawinan dapat dikatakan sah apabila terpenuhi syarat dan rukunnya. Salah satu rukun perkawinan yaitu wali nikah. Dalam kaitannya dengan wali nikah ada persoalan yang dapat menghambat perkawinan yaitu calon mempelai perempuan ternyata lahir kurang dari enam bulan sejak akad nikah orang tuanya. Hal itu mengakibatkan bahwa dalam Hukum Islam wali nikahnya harus menggunakan wali hakim. Karena ulama fikih telah sepakat bahwa batas minimal usia kehamilan adalah 6 bulan. Hal itu didasarkan pada QS. Al-Ahqaf ayat 15 dan QS. Al-Luqman ayat 14. Di KUA Kecamatan Karangjati Ngawi terjadi kasus tentang calon pengantin perempuan yang lahir kurang dari 6 bulan. Fenomena ini dalam setahun bisa terjadi sekitar 10 sampai dengan 15 kasus. Dalam hal ini, pihak KUA mempunyai kebijakan dalam memutuskan siapa yang berhak menjadi wali nikah. Maka dari itu, peneliti menulis penelitian ini dengan tujuan agar pembaca dapat mengetahui bagaimana prosedur penetapan wali nikah terkait kasus tersebut dan apakah pengambilalihan wali nikah tersebut sudah sesuai dengan tujuan Maqashid Syariah. Yang menjadikan penelitian ini berbeda dari penelitian sebelumnya adalah penggunaan maqashid syariah untuk meneliti. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian lapangan sehingga yang menjadi sumber utama data-datanya adalah data lapangan. Hasil atau kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pertama, prosedur penetapan wali nikah bagi perempuan yang lahir kurang dari enam bulan di KUA Kecamatan Karangjati sudah sesuai dengan hukum Islam karena dalam penetapannya menggunakan dasar hukum Fikih Munakahat dan Fikih Madzhab. Kedua, dalam pengambilalihan langsung wali nikah oleh pihak KUA sudah sesuai dengan tujuan dari Maqashid Syariah terutama pada penjagaan jiwa dan akal.

Di Desa Singgahan Kecamatan Kebonsari Kabupaten Madiun keseluruhan penduduknya beragama Islam dan profesi mayoritas sebagai petani, namun untuk pelaksanaan zakat mal (khususnya pertanian) masih kurang. Padahal pelaksanaan zakat itu sama wajibnya dengan melakukan shalat dan puasa. Serta jika dikalkulasi apabila seluruh masyarakat yang berprofesi petani mau melaksanakan zakat pertanian menghasilkan hasil yang masif dan sangat bermanfaat bagi masyarakat yang membutuhkan. Metode penelitian yan digunakan oleh peneliti ialah jenis penelitian lapangan atau field research dengan metode kualitatif. Metode analisis yang digunakan berpedoman pada metode deskriptif-analitis yang diantaranya dimulai dari pengumpulan data, reduksi data, pemaparan data dan konklusi atau verifikasi. Dari penelitian ini bisa diambil kesimpulan bahwa masih kurang optimalnya pelaksanaan zakat mal, khususnya zakat pertanian. Penelitian ini memiliki dua temuan utama, diantaranya: Pertama, praktek zakat sudah bisa berjalan walaupun kurang maksimal. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan masih sedikitnya warga yang berprofesi sebagai petani yang benar-benar paham dan mau melaksanakan zakat pertanian sesuai dengan syariat. Kedua, faktor-faktor pranata sosial yang mempengaruhi pelaksanaan zakat pertanian diantaranya terdapat perbedaan metode pelaksanaan zakat pertanian, dan kurangnya edukasi dan sosialisasi mengenai zakat pertanian yang menjadikan adanya pelaksanaan zakat pertanian sesuai dengan local wisdom pada diri masing-masing petani

Can electroencephalography-based neurofeedback treat post-traumatic stress disorder? A meta-analysis study
Authors: Matsuyanagi Kana
Published: August 2024

Objective: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains a significant clinical challenge with limited treatment options. Although electroencephalogram (EEG) neurofeedback has garnered attention as a prospective treatment modality for PTSD, no comprehensive meta-analysis has been conducted to assess its efficacy and compare different treatment protocols. This study aims to provide a multi-variable meta-regression analysis of EEG neurofeedback's impact on PTSD symptoms, while also assessing variables that may influence treatment outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review was performed to identify controlled studies exploring for the efficacy of EEG neurofeedback on PTSD. The overall effectiveness was evaluated through meta-analysis, and a multi-variable meta-regression was employed to discern fact0rs affecting the EEG neurofeedback efficacy.
Results: EEG neurofeedback yielded a statistically significant reduction in PTSD symptoms immediately post-intervention, with sustained effects at one and three months follow-up. A sub-analysis of sham-controlled studies confirmed that outcomes were not driven by placebo effects. Our findings also identified the target frequency and region, as well as feedback modality, as significant factors for treatment success. In contrast, variables related to treatment duration were not found to be significant moderators, suggesting cost-effectiveness.
Conclusions: EEG neurofeedback emerges as a promising and cost-effective treatment modality for PTSD with the potential for long-term benefits. Our findings challenge commonly utilized protocols and advocate for further research into alternative methodologies to improve treatment efficacy.
