Authors: Saeed Muhammad , Muhammad Inam  , Shafi Ul Haq  , Israr Ahmad
Published: August 2024

Background: Retinal vein occlusion (RVO), including branch (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), can lead to vision loss and optic nerve damage. Understanding changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness in affected and fellow eyes is crucial for managing these conditions.
Objective: This study evaluated longitudinal changes in pRNFL thickness in eyes with BRVO and CRVO, and their fellow eyes, compared with normal controls.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, 68 patients with newly diagnosed unilateral RVO (42 BRVO, 26 CRVO) and 45 controls were included. pRNFL thickness was measured at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in six sectors. Baseline characteristics like age, gender, hypertension, and diabetes were recorded. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 23.0, with one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s chi-square test, paired t-tests, and repeated-measures ANOVA.
Results: At baseline, BRVO-affected eyes had a global pRNFL thickness of 119.15 ± 17.71 μm, higher than fellow eyes at 104.52 ± 10.46 μm (p < 0.001). CRVO-affected eyes had a baseline pRNFL of 136.04 ± 36.33 μm, compared to 99.93 ± 13.59 μm in fellow eyes (p < 0.001). At 24 months, only the temporal sector in CRVO eyes showed significant pRNFL differences. Global pRNFL thickness in fellow eyes of both BRVO and CRVO groups decreased significantly at 24 months, with no significant change in the control group. Fellow eyes of the CRVO group had significantly lower pRNFL thickness at 12 and 24 months compared to BRVO and control groups.
Conclusion: Both BRVO and CRVO affect pRNFL thickness in fellow eyes, with CRVO showing more susceptibility to damage. This suggests a shared vascular abnormality between RVO and glaucoma, highlighting the importance of careful pRNFL monitoring, particularly in CRVO patients.

Background: Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soils poses a significant threat to plant growth and human health, particularly in agricultural regions. Organic amendments, such as biochar and compost, have been explored as potential solutions to mitigate Cd toxicity by immobilizing the metal and enhancing plant growth.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of biochar and compost, individually and combined, in reducing Cd toxicity and promoting the growth of Spinacia oleracea in contaminated soils.
Methods: A controlled experiment was conducted in which Spinacia oleracea was grown in soil treated with 1% biochar, 1% compost, or a combination of both. Growth parameters, including root and shoot length, biomass, and leaf area, were measured. Physiological attributes, such as photosynthetic pigments and antioxidant enzyme activities, were assessed. Cd content, translocation, and bioaccumulation in plant tissues were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0, with significance set at p<0.05.
Results: The combined application of biochar and compost significantly increased root length (by 49.75%), shoot length (by 36.73%), and biomass (by 42.85%) in Spinacia oleracea. Cd content in roots and shoots was reduced by 40.41% and 51.16%, respectively, compared to control.
Conclusion: Biochar and compost, when combined, effectively mitigate Cd toxicity and enhance plant growth, offering a promising strategy for managing contaminated soils.

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by the gradual decline in physiological functions, increasing the susceptibility to various age-related diseases. Recent advancements in regenerative medicine have highlighted the potential of stem cells in combating the effects of aging and treating age-related diseases. Among these, urine-derived stem cells (USCs) have emerged as a promising and non-invasive source of multipotent cells capable of differentiating into various cell types. This review aims to discuss the recent progress in the application of USCs in treating age-related diseases. We focused on the unique properties of USCs, including their ease of collection, high proliferation rate, and pluripotent differentiation potential. Furthermore, we summarized the mechanisms underlying the aging, so as to help understand the process of aging and the potential mechanisms through which USCs exert their anti-aging effects. Besides, we examined preclinical and clinical studies that demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of USCs in treating age-related diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal degenerations. This comprehensive review underscored the significant potential of USCs as a novel therapeutic strategy for aging and managing age-associated diseases.

Revitalizing Tradition Toward Islamic Modernity in Ṭāhā ʿAbd al-Raḥmān’s Though
Authors: Ikrom Mausuli
Published: August 2024

The discussion of turāth and modernity is a never-ending topic in contemporary Islamic thought. In contrast to secular scholars like Abed al-Jābirī and Ḥasan Ḥanafī, who used materialist and phenomenological methods in reading turāth, Ṭāhā ʿAbd al-Raḥmān employs a logic and linguistic method with ethical and spiritual approaches. Through this process, he seeks to formulate Islamic modernity instead of following Western modernity, which he critiques intensively in the works of Islamic thinkers such as al-Jābirī. This article traces Ṭāhā's way of creating Islamic modernity through turāth as a milestone, providing an analysis and critique of Ṭāhā's thought on turāth and contributing to the realization of the idea of Islamic modernity.
Dynamics of Islam and Politics in the Middle East region
Authors: Aris Munandar
Published: August 2024

:  The Middle East, a region steeped in religious history, is the birthplace of major religions such as Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Religion profoundly influences the political and social order in this region, with Islam, as the majority religion, playing a crucial role in shaping state policies and political direction. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was a pivotal event that reinforced the influence of Islam in politics. Subsequently, Islamic movements have impacted political changes, notably during the Arab Spring, which aimed to transition autocratic systems to democracy with varied outcomes. However, the region is also marked by long-standing conflicts driven by religious, ethnic, and economic interests, exacerbated by the discovery of abundant oil resources since the 1930s. Western intervention and local political dynamics have further complicated the geopolitical landscape, resulting in prolonged conflicts with global repercussions. This research employs a quantitative approach with descriptive methods, primarily relying on a literature review. The literature review involves analyzing relevant sources such as books, journals, and articles to identify key patterns and themes, providing insight into the region's problems. Historical analysis is also utilized to understand the evolution of theories and concepts over time. The synthesized findings offer a comprehensive understanding and propose alternative solutions to the region's challenges.

Authors: Assidiqi Muhammad Raqib , Putra Grand Colin Amdhana Priin 
Published: August 2024

This paper provides a detailed analysis of the early period of Uthman bin Affan's caliphate, spanning 24 AH to 29 AH. Utilizing Ibn Khaldun's historical methodology, the study critically examines the policies and events that shaped this crucial period in Islamic history. The research begins with a brief biography of Uthman bin Affan, highlighting his character traits and significant positions before his caliphate. It then delves into the critical policies implemented by the third caliph, including cabinet reshuffles, military expansions, economic reforms, and other administrative measures. The discussion explores the factors influencing these policy decisions, such as the wills of previous caliphs, disputes among companions, and the caliph's ijtihād. The military campaigns that led to the liberation of territories like Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cyprus, and Tunis are examined, along with their economic implications for the Islamic state. The study also sheds light on Uthman bin Affan's economic policies, including distributing war booty, land empowerment, and establishing a police force. Throughout the paper, it is argued that while Uthman bin Affan largely continued the policies of his predecessors, he also made necessary changes and developments in response to the expanding Islamic state. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the historical context and factors behind the policy decisions made during this period.

The topic of this study revolves around the phenomenon of depriving women of inheritance in Libyan society, elucidating the legal and Islamic perspectives on this issue. The aim is to identify its causes and effects and to determine the most important legal and Sharia-based measures to mitigate it. This study employs a descriptive method to understand this phenomenon and identify its causes, as well as a comparative method by examining the provisions of Islamic Sharia related to the topic and comparing them with relevant articles of Libyan law. The study reached several key conclusions, the most important of which is: that the Libyan criminal legislator has stipulated that the inheritance of women and the determination of their shares should be by Islamic Sharia. Additionally, the weakening of religious motivation and ignorance of the seriousness of committing this crime are among the main reasons leading to the deprivation of women from their inheritance. The violation of women's inheritance rights falls under sins that have no fixed punishment or atonement, and this sin, proven by the text of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet, requires punishment according to Sharia and legal texts.

Published: August 2024

This research investigates the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth in Indonesia. The study was carried out by analyzing the implementation of public expenditure policies, tax reforms and subsidies implemented by the government in several time periods. Macroeconomic data such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation rate, investment and household consumption are used to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy in responding to domestic and global economic conditions. The findings show that fiscal policy has a significant impact on economic growth, particularly through increasing infrastructure investment and tax incentives for the private sector. However, challenges such as transparent public budget management and long-term policy consistency need to be addressed to maximize the contribution of fiscal policy to inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Policy recommendations include expanding infrastructure investment, further tax reform to increase efficiency, as well as improvements in public budget management. The implication of this research for national economic policy is the importance of maintaining policy consistency and improving inter-institutional coordination to achieve the goal of sustainable economic development in Indonesia.

ASEAN's Resilient Soft Power in Building Peace and Shaping Sustainable Development
Authors: Khang Tran Nguyen
Published: August 2024

Soft power is a concept introduced by Professor Joseph Nye about the ability of actors in international relations to achieve what they want through the use of attraction and persuasion instead of coercion or bribery. The term is now widely used by analysts and politicians around the world. However, most studies on soft power focus on countries, especially developed Western countries, rather than developing non-Western countries, communities, groups, international or regional organizations, which have also created positive influences in international relations in many diverse forms and ways. In the context of fierce globalization and regionalization, ASEAN is an interesting case that has created compelling successes in soft power as a cohesive community. The study will examine and evaluate the significance of ASEAN's integration process in creating the power of attraction in the international arena, towards creating peace and sustainable development. At the same time, building the soft power of the community is also an opportunity for member countries to enhance their position and influence, with a typical example can be considered as Vietnam. Studying about ASEAN soft power will help us understand the nature of the community's strength, in the diversity of political - cultural - economic - social conditions, thereby contributing to further understanding the nature of soft power in international relations.

In the era of modern Indonesia, marked by the swift flow of globalization and technological advances celebrated enthusiastically, Indonesia faces significant challenges in terms of awareness of nation and state. The onslaught of foreign culture facilitated by media and internet technology can freely present in our society and has the potential to dominate and influence local culture. In addition, other state problems threatened the nation's sovereignty, especially after 1998, such as the emergence of ideologies contrary to the state ideology, terrorism, radicalism, and social conflicts based on ethnicity, race, and religion. These problems have shifted the meaning of nationalism, especially among the people. Therefore, to deal with these problems, a new understanding and direction related to nationalism is needed so that it can survive during the onslaught of the times. This research aims to conceptualize a new understanding of nationalism using qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach. The results of this study reveal the conceptualization of the understanding of nationalism carried out by Surya Paloh.

The implementation of work motivation within the health center is not explicitly given. While motivating service recipients at the Cidempet Health Center is good enough, the Bongas Health Center is not. The implementation of human resource performance is still an obstacle due to the shortage of human resources and the allocation of funds, and there are differences in the provision of funding sources for HIV/AIDS counseling and testing activities. The conclusion of this study is that before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of counseling and tests experienced differences where counseling visits and tests only accepted patients who were indicated to have HIV, the implementation of Briefing, communication, motivation, human resource performance, and fund allocation had their obstacles. The suggestion in this study is to improve and optimize policies and procedures for HIV/AIDS counseling and testing in Puskesmas.
