Authors: Abdul Kodir Faqiuddin , Nor Ismah  , Samia Kotele  , Wakhit Hasyim  , Fadzila Din
Published: January 2025

The production of fatwā in Indonesia has traditionally been dominated by male scholars and rooted in conventional methodologies that prioritize textual sources, often neglecting the lived experiences of women. This article examines innovative methodology proposed by the Indonesian Congress of Women Ulama (Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia, or KUPI) to develop a gender-just approach to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). Drawing on participant observation of KUPI's fatwa-making processes in two events occurring respectively in 2017 and 2022 and literature analysis, this study explores two key questions: (1) To what extent does KUPI’s maqāṣid cum-mubādalah methodology foster gender-just fiqh? (2) How does KUPI apply this methodology, incorporating both women’s experiential perspectives and literal Islamic texts, in issuing its fatwā on child marriage and abortion in cases of rape? The analysis highlights how KUPI’s maqāṣid cum-mubādalah approach challenges traditional jurisprudence, showcasing its transformative potential. KUPI’s framework integrates maqāṣid asy-syarī’ah (the objectives of Islamic law) with mubādalah a perspective emphasizing equality and reciprocity between men and women. Termed maqāṣid cum-mubādalah, this methodology recognizes lived experiences of women as one of the sources to formulate religious opinions, or fatwā, in Islamic legal tradition. This article underscores the importance of integrating women's experiential perspectives into Islamic legal discourse, offering new insights into evolving interpretations of fiqh that prioritize justice and equality.

Published: January 2025

Background: leukemia is one of the most common and dangerous types of cancer around the world. The exact mechanisms that lead to leukemia development are still unknown. However, this study evaluates the biochemical dynamics of caspase-3, calpain-2, malondialdehyde (MDA), and reduced glutathione (GSH) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) during three treatment stages: pre-chemotherapy, during chemotherapy, and post-chemotherapy.
Materials and methods: A total of 270 blood samples were analyzed, divided equally among AML, ALL, and healthy controls. Sample collection during the period continued from July 2022 to June 2024 from Medical City and Al-Kadhimain Medical City and Al-Amal National Hospital for Cancer Management in Baghdad province.
Results: We observed significant alterations in apoptotic markers (Caspase-3 and Calpain-2), oxidative stress (MDA), and antioxidant defenses (GSH). Both AML and ALL patients exhibited elevated Caspase-3 and Calpain-2 levels pre-treatment, which declined progressively during and post-treatment. MDA levels were elevated across all stages, peaking pre-treatment, while GSH levels were significantly reduced. Comparative analysis revealed distinct biochemical profiles between AML and ALL patients, with AML exhibiting higher apoptotic activity. Correlation analyses highlighted complex interplays between apoptosis, oxidative stress, and antioxidant responses.
Conclusion: These findings confirm the potential of Caspase-3, Calpain-2, MDA, and GSH as biomarkers for monitoring therapeutic efficacy and managing the leukemia treatment protocols.

The internet has become a primary source of health information for many people. For example, the websites of many medical condition support associations, meant for people suffering from various medical conditions, contain information on different medical conditions, treatments, and general health advice. However, accessing such information can be a serious privacy threat for the end user. In this article, we study the privacy of the websites of 18 Finnish medical condition support associations. The websites were analyzed to find leakages of sensitive personal data to third parties. Our investigation concludes that 88.9% of the websites leaked potentially sensitive personal data to third parties, usually private corporations offering web analytics tools such as Google Analytics. Furthermore, we discovered that users are not adequately informed about these data processing activities. We suggest several measures to alleviate third-party data leaks on websites handling sensitive personal data.
Ti-Zr-V-Nb-Al BCC high-entropy alloy with outstanding uniform ductility achieved by grain refinement
Authors: Zeng Hanlin , Han Mengyunqing , Li Bolun , Wang Liang , Jin Ke , Wang Benpeng , Sun Shihai , Wang Lu , Xue Yunfei
Published: January 2025

The lack of sufficient uniform deformation ability of body-centered cubic (BCC) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) is the obstacle to their applications as structural materials. Here we present a grain refinement strategy to achieve excellent uniform ductility of a BCC non-equal atomic ratio Ti-Zr-V-Nb-Al (TZ) alloy. The uniform elongation and yield strength of the fine-grained TZ alloy with a grain size of 15 µm are as high as ~12% and 840 MPa, respectively. The outstanding uniform deformability of the fine-grained TZ alloys is due to the frequent cross-slip events and abundant dislocation tangles. Grain refinement can increase the probability of dislocation entanglement, thereby promoting a rise in the work-hardening rate. The good plasticity and high work-hardening rate can improve the uniform deformation ability. Our results will give new insights into enhancing uniform ductility while maintaining high strength in the BCC HEAs.

The Pakistan power system faces a severe energy deficiency due to population growth. The Pakistan power system structure necessitates a smart load management system to address the mismanagement of load distribution that results in load shedding. A continuous power supply is essential for industrial and domestic sectors to enhance Pakistan's economy. Imported fuel presents a significant economic challenge in Pakistan. This system is designed to control and monitor load management utilizing Internet of Things (IoT)-based technology. The implementation of an IoT-based approach enhances system performance by upgrading conventional load management. This study analyzed effective energy management during peak hours. This system employs a smart energy management system to improve load shedding patterns. The system components include a power monitoring module, current sensor, transformer, Wi-Fi module, and relay module integrated with an Arduino-based microcontroller for monitoring and controlling load management. To model a virtual analysis a simulation based circuit diagram is design using Proteus Software. The implementation of this study improves energy transactions between utilities and consumers. In this study, a prototype was designed and implemented using Arduino, and sensors were employed to control and observe a smart load management system. This system utilizes a hypertext preprocessor for login webpage arrangement for IoT control and monitoring. The results indicate that the cumulative analysis for the implementation of this system automatically deactivates unnecessary loads during peak hours. This system can conserve energy during peak-hour intervals. The load parameters for current, voltage, and power were displayed on the LCD screen. The system automatically deactivates the load during harmonics in the power supply until normal conditions are restored. As compared to existing studies this system detects and switch the system during on and off peak hours without any human interaction.

Published: January 2025

Citrus is an important food security crop in the world, and the health benefits or otherwise of the commodity depend on the quality and safety of the grain. It is used in several by-products such as citrus pudding, citrus fritters, and citrus bread. With more and more people paying attention to food safety issues, attention to the safe and stable source of citrus is becoming more important. Problems in this supply chain including those that result in reduced revenue for the farmers and the government, and major losses during off-season arise primarily from lack of trust, dependability, openness, accountability, origin, and safety. To address these difficulties, we present a secure and transparent framework using Blockchain technology to monitor citrus crops from the farm to the consumer’s table. We propose a new cryptocurrency token named citrus coin (CC) which will be used in the process of purchasing investors in the citrus n value chain. This system includes an elaborate demonstration, a CC cryptocurrency wallet, and an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). The functioning of the framework is based on smart contracts to manage the transactions which are traceable and transparent through the entire citrus crop supply chain while the CC can be converted into traditional fiat money. Also, we use the decentralized storage system (InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)) to store information about corporations and sellers to improve security, transparency, and access to data. Furthermore, our experimentation and analysis, demonstrate that the proposed framework provides better results compared to the existing solutions for the supply chain in terms of contract verification time, regular gas transaction efficiency, and block generation latency.

Authors: PANDEY RITESH
Published: January 2025

The rising popularity of cryptocurrencies has led to increased interest in predicting their prices, particularly in the case of Bitcoin due to its volatility and complexity. While past research has used machine learning to improve Bitcoin price prediction accuracy, there has been limited focus on exploring diverse modeling techniques for datasets with varying structures and dimensions. This study aims to forecast Bitcoin prices using machine learning techniques by categorizing them into daily prices and high-frequency prices. The project specifically employs the Random Forest Classifier algorithm to predict Bitcoin prices using historical data from July 2010 to May 2023. The dataset undergoes preprocessing and feature engineering to extract relevant features for the model. The trained algorithm is then optimized through hyperparameter tuning. Additionally, a simulation dashboard is created using Flask, a popular web framework, to allow users to evaluate different machine learning algorithms for predicting Bitcoin prices. The results of the project demonstrate that the Random Forest Classifier algorithm achieved 99% accuracy in predicting Bitcoin prices, highlighting the effectiveness of machine learning techniques in this context.

Authors: Delikanlı Niyazi Erdem
Published: January 2025

İçme suları şebeke hatlarındaki problemler, su kalitesini etkileyebilir. Bu nedenle, arıtma tesisi çıkışında elde edilen uygun kalitedeki su, uç noktada kabul edilemeyecek düzeye ulaşabilir. Su kaynaklı mikrobiyal kirlenmenin önüne geçebilmek adına dezenfeksiyon yöntemleri uygulanmaktadır. Klor ile dezenfeksiyon, mikrobiyal kirlenmeyi önlerken su içerisinde bulunan kirleticilerle etkileşime girerek çeşitli problemlere sebep olabilir. Bartın ili hizmet alanı içerisinde yer alan 20 farklı mahalleden, tesadüfi olarak seçilmiş ev, cami, gıda işletmeleri ve sanayi işletmelerinden Mart ve Haziran ayları içerisinde aynı gün su numuneleri alınarak, bulanıklık, renk, toplam çözünmüş katı, serbest ve toplam klor analizleri yapılmıştır. Bulanıklık değeri, 17 noktada "TS 266" ve "İnsani Tüketim Amaçlı Sular Hakkında Yönetmelik" sınır değeri olan 1 NTU değerinden yüksek bulunmuştur. Renk parametreleri incelendiğinde en yüksek renk, 17 PtCo değeri ile Cumhuriyet Mahallesi'nde bulunmuştur. 8 mahallede serbest klor miktarı mevzuat sınır değeri olan 0,2 mg/L değerinden düşüktür. Ayrıca, 4 mahallede serbest klor miktarları 2,8 - 3,48 mg/L aralığında tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde, aynı su dağıtım şebekesinde bulunan farklı noktalardaki ölçüm parametreleri arasında belirgin farklılıklar göze çarpmaktadır. Bunun nedeninin şebeke hatlarındaki bozukluklar olduğu düşünülmektedir. Şebeke hatlarının onarımı ve yenilenmesi yerine klorlama miktarının artırılarak halk sağlığının korunmasının amaçlanması, ancak geçici bir çözüm olacaktır.

Published: January 2025

Önlenemeyen doğal afetlerden/tehlikelerden sayılan deprem, yerkabuğundaki kırılmalardan dolayı ortaya çıkan titreşimlerin dalgalar halinde yayıldıkları ortamları sarsan hareketlerdir. Deprem kuşağında yer alan Türkiye’de depremler kaçınılmaz bir gerçeklik olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Günümüze kadar Türkiye’de birçok deprem yaşanmış ve yaşanmaya devam edecektir. Son zamanlarda yaşanan depremler arasında 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde yaşanan Kahramanmaraş’ta 7.7 (Pazarcık merkezli) ve 7.6 (Elbistan merkezli) şiddetindeki depremler gelmektedir. Pazarcık merkezli bu depremden merkez üs ve çevresinde yer alan 11 il (Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Adıyaman, Osmaniye, Gaziantep, Şanlıurfa, Malatya, Diyarbakır, Adana, Kilis ve Elâzığ) çok etkilenmiştir. Yüksek şiddetli olan bu deprem, buralardaki birçok yerleşimi ve yapıyı çok etkilemiştir. Çalışma kapsamına bu depremlerden çok etkilenen yerleşim yerlerinden biri olan Adıyaman’ın Gölbaşı ilçesi alınmıştır. Gölbaşı’na 26 Nisan 2023 tarihinde (depremden 79 gün sonra) MAÜ Mühendislik-Mimarlık Fakültesi Mimarlık Bölüm hocaları, MYO İnşaat Teknolojisi hocası (İnş Müh.) ve öğrencilerle gidilip yerinde gözlemler ve incelemeler yapılmıştır. Gözlem ve inceleme yapılan yerler Gölbaşı Merkeze bağlı Fatih ve Yeni mahallelerdir. Araştırmanın temel amacı, bu hasarların nedenlerini anlamak ve deprem-mimarlık ilişkisini irdelemektir. Yapılan gözlemler, birçok yapının zemin sıvılaşması nedeniyle hasar gördüğünü, bunun yanı sıra yapısal hasarların da önemli boyutlarda olduğunu göstermiştir. Literatür taraması, mimarlık ve deprem ilişkisi üzerine yeterli çalışma yapılmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durum, deprem sonrası yapı tasarımı ve inşaat süreçlerinin yeniden gözden geçirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, gelecekteki depremlere karşı daha dirençli yapılar inşa edilmesi için mimari yaklaşımların geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayabilir. Sonuç olarak, bu tür araştırmalar, deprem sonrası hasar tespitinin yanı sıra, yapısal tasarımın iyileştirilmesi adına önemli veriler sunmaktadır. Türkiye gibi deprem kuşağında yer alan ülkelerde, mimarlık ve mühendislik disiplinlerinin birlikte çalışarak daha güvenli bir yaşam alanı yaratma çabası büyük önem taşımaktadır.

One of the most significant environmental issues is air pollution. Human health is negatively impacted by this issue in addition to the environment. In this study, spatial and temporal analysis of particulate matter 10 (PM10), particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollutants for 2022 was conducted within the provincial borders of Bursa, Turkey. The monthly and seasonal air pollution maps have been generated using 24-hour measurements obtained from air quality monitoring stations within the city. Data for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and NO2 were utilized in the creation of these maps. The pollution maps were analyzed based on the criteria outlined in the World Health Organization (WHO) report, as well as the limit values set by the European Union and the national regulations. According to the results obtained, the amount of pollutants in summer is lower than in winter. While PM10 was on average 39.32 μg/m³ in the summer months, it exceeded the national legislation by 3.09% in the winter. When evaluated during the average summer season, the concentrations of PM2.5 and SO2 were observed to be 19.29 μg/m³ and 5.82 μg/m³, respectively. In contrast, during the winter season, the concentrations were found to be 47.30 μg/m³ for PM2.5 and 11.07 μg/m³ for SO2. There is no legal limit for PM2.5 in national legislation. SO2 was found to be below the specified legal regulations. While NO2 was on average 25.13 μg/m³ in the summer months, it exceeded the national legislation by 9.74% in the winter. The main sources of pollutants in the region were examined and according to the findings, factors such as the city being an industrial zone and high traffic density increased the pollutants. The results of this investigation show that air pollution poses a significant issue in Bursa.

Cote dIvoire every year resorts to rice imports to cover its populations needs, due to significant shortfall in national production. This study aimed to assess the yield potentials of 20 rice varieties in irrigated rice farming to enhance national production. The 20 lines were evaluated in a split-plot design with 3 replications and 2 factors. The mainplotwas variety group with 2 levels (improved and local), while the sub-plot was the variety type (cultivar). NPK fertilizer (15-15-15) was applied as basal dressing at 200 g/15 m2 before transplanting. Urea (CO(NH2)2, 46% N) was applied as top dressing at rates of 14 g/15 m2 at tillering and 19 g/15 m2 at flowering. Analysis of variance showed significant differences at the 5% level for grain yield (GY), straw yield (SY), total dry matter (TDM), harvest index (HI), and agronomic efficiency of fertilizer (AE). Furthermore, these analyses revealed that local rice varieties, Koite and GT11, yielded around 5 tha-1, approximately two-thirds of the hybrids yields. However, the Danane variety had one of the lowest yields with 1.5 tha-1. The hybrids AR043H, AR034H, and AR051H were statistically identical and the top three in grain yield.Furthermore, the varieties AR043H, AR034H, and AR051H could be recommended to increase rice in Cote dIvoire. These results constitute a significant step in the search for genotypes suited to lowland rice cultivation with high yield potential.

Authors: Bryzgalov A. A.
Published: January 2025

Purpose. The purpose of this article is to develop methods and algorithms of microservice implementation for information support of multi-agent systems that implement the functions of digital twins of the enterprise. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of data collection, monitoring, diagnostics and decision-making functions that ensure effective interaction between product agents and resource agents based on service level agreements (SLAs).

Research methods. The research uses methods of building a microservice architecture to separate and autonomously perform functions such as data collection, monitoring and diagnostics in order to optimize SLA and increase system reliability. To increase the system's resilience to security threats, access control, data encryption, and anomaly analysis stages have been added to the algorithms. The methodology includes adaptive management of SLA parameters, the use of distributed data processing and the use of analytical algorithms for decision-making, as well as mechanisms to identify potential threats and unauthorized access.

Results. The proposed methods and algorithms make it possible to create a flexible and scalable multi-agent system capable of adapting to changing conditions and ensuring stable and safe operation of digital counterparts. Using SLA to regulate the interaction of agents improves the consistency of their actions, increases the accuracy of monitoring and protects data, maintaining high reliability and security of the system.

Conclusion. The results show that the microservice approach, the use of SLA and the integration of security measures significantly increase the efficiency and reliability of multi-agent systems, allowing agents to adapt to changes, respond promptly to deviations and prevent possible threats. The use of these methods can significantly improve asset management in network enterprises, maintaining their competitiveness, sustainability and security in the context of digital transformation.

The COVID-19 pandemic presented major changes for individuals working in nursing academia. While university faculty and staff encountered many challenges, the pandemic also presented new opportunities. The purpose of this study was to determine how the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted nursing faculty and staff perceptions about their wellness experiences. An on-line survey was developed and sent to all faculty and staff. Data were collected through a convenience sample using both open-ended and closed-ended questions. Descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis were used to analyze the data. Among respondents (n = 139), wellness areas frequently reported to be “better” included productivity, access to meetings, work time flexibility, work-day attire, feeling respect and understanding from colleagues, nutrition, physical activity, and outdoor time. Areas frequently reported to be “worse” included workspace ergonomics, opportunities for informal check-ins, connectivity, and collaboration with colleagues, length of the workday, perceived work-life balance, sleep, mood, and connectivity with friends/family. Key themes emerged from coded open-ended responses; these include flexibility, self-care, connection, and leadership support. Examples of both positive and negative experiences are contained within each code and respective theme. Opportunities for continued flexibility and compassion for differing experiences were commonly observed in the survey and were recommended for retention post-pandemic to promote employee well-being. Open communication and transparency were also suggested as key elements required for successful transition in the return to routines as the pandemic becomes endemic. The implications of these findings may be extended to broader crises.
Mobile Health App as an Auxiliary Tool in Management of Atopic Dermatitis in Children: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Zvulunov Alex , Lenevich Stepan , Migacheva Natalia
Published: January 2025

Background

Mobile health apps can boost treatment adherence and support disease management at home. The Atopic App and web-based Atopic School patient education program offer a chance to enhance adherence to atopic dermatitis (AD) management.

Objective

We aim to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the Atopic App mobile health intervention in the managing of AD in children.

Methods

A randomized controlled study in children with AD divided participants into 3 groups: a control group (no app), an observational group with the app, and an interventional group with investigator supervision. Patients were examined at screening and follow-up visits 1 and 2 at 3-month intervals. Outcome measures included SCORAD (Scoring Atopic Dermatitis) for objective severity and Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) for subjective effectiveness. Statistical analysis used paired t tests (2-tailed), the Mann-Whitney U test, and multiple regression.

Results

Fifty-eight participants entered this study (38 boys and 20 girls): group 1 (control) comprised 17 patients, while experimental groups 2 and 3 consisted of 20 and 21 patients, respectively. The rates of missed appointments were similar and statistically insignificant across the groups. All groups showed a significant decrease in SCORAD and POEM scores (P<.05). Usage of the app for ≥8 days showed a more significant decrease in severity scores compared to those who used it for ≤7 days, or did not use it at all. Participants who used the app for ≥8 days had a median SCORAD of 6.25 (95% CI 4.6‐14.1; IQR 4-16.3) at visit 1, significantly lower than nonusers (17.9, 95% CI 13.9‐24.0; IQR 13.9-24; P=.03) and those using it ≤7 days (13, 95% CI 9.35‐27; IQR 7.2-27; P=.04). Their median POEM of 2 (95% CI 1.0‐4.5; IQR 1-5.3) was also significantly lower than those using the app ≤7 days (9, 95% CI 2‐12; IQR 2-12; P=.04) and lower, though not significantly, than nonusers (7, 95% CI 1‐9; IQR 1-9; P=.14). Additionally, using the Atopic App for ≥8 days after the screening visit strongly predicted a decrease in both SCORAD and POEM scores (P=.01 and P=.04, respectively). The time since the screening visit significantly predicted increased outcome scores, while prescriptions of topical calcineurin inhibitors, oral antihistamines, and oral antibiotics were weak and insignificant predictors of score changes.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate that the Atopic App is helpful tool in managing AD in children, and they underscore the potential of mobile health interventions in the disease management.

BACKGROUND

Commercial wearables like Fitbits quantify sleep metrics using fixed calendar times as the default measurement periods, which may not adequately account for individual variations in sleep patterns. To address this, experts in sleep medicine and wearables developed a user-centric algorithm that more accurately reflects actual sleep behaviors, aiming to improve wearable-derived sleep metrics.

OBJECTIVE

The study aimed to describe the development of the new (user-centric) algorithm, and how it compares with the default (calendar-relative), and offers best practices for analyzing All of Us Fitbit sleep data on a cloud platform.

METHODS

The default and new algorithms was implemented to pre-process and then compute sleep metrics related to schedule, duration, and disturbances using high-resolution Fitbit sleep data from 8,563 participants (median age 58.1 years, 72% female) in the All of Us Research Program (v7 Controlled Tier). Variation in typical sleep patterns was computed by taking the differences in the mean number of primary sleep logs classified by each algorithm. Linear mixed-effects models were used to compare differences in sleep metrics across quartiles of variation in typical sleep patterns.

RESULTS

Out of 8,452,630 total sleep logs over a median of 4.2 years of Fitbit monitoring, 401,777 (5%) non-primary sleep logs identified by default algorithm were reclassified to primary sleep by the user-centric algorithm. Variation in typical sleep patterns ranged from -0.08 to 1. Among participants with the most variation in typical sleep patterns, the new algorithm identified more total sleep time (by 17.6 minutes; P<0.001), more wake after sleep onset (by 13.9 minutes; P<0.001), and lower sleep efficiency (by 2.0%; P<0.001), on average. There were only modest differences in sleep stage metrics between the two algorithms.

CONCLUSIONS

The user-centric algorithm captures the natural variability in sleep schedules, offering an alternative way to pre-process and evaluate sleep metrics related to schedule, duration, and disturbances. R package is publicly available to facilitate the implementation of this algorithm for clinical and translational use.
