Ethics of Nanomedicine
Authors: Malsch I.
Published: May 2023

Nanomedicine is the application of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in healthcare. Nanomedicine is a key enabler of e.g., mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, and enables digital twins, organ on chip and wearables. Introducing nanomaterials in the body in pharmaceuticals or implants raises nanosafety issues. Ethical impacts of nanomedicine are e.g., related to freedom, equality, data protection, and biosecurity. Researchers should contribute to Responsible Research and Innovation together with governments and other stakeholders. The principles of inclusiveness, anticipation, openness and responsiveness are leading.

Célunk, hogy felhívjuk a figyelmet az allografttal végzett revíziós elülső keresztszalag plasztika lehetőségére, valamint, hogy bemutassuk ezzel az eljárással szerzett tapasztalatainkat. Retrospektív vizsgálat keretében mértük fel a 2019-es év során BTB allografttal végzett replasztikáink eredményét. A stabilitást a Lachman, a pivot shift és az elülső asztalfiók teszttel, valamint roliméterrel vizsgáltuk. Betegeink kitöltötték a Lysholm, a Kujala, az IKDC és a Tegner score-t. Vizuál analóg skálán mértük a fájdalmat. AP álló és oldalirányú röntgenfelvételen Kellgren–Lawrence szerint osztályoztuk az arthrotikus elváltozásokat. 32-ből 19 (59%) beteget tudtunk bevonni a vizsgálatba. A 19 betegből 4 betegnél nem épült be a graft (21%). Az átlag VAS guggoló helyzetben 1,34 (0–5) pont. Az átlag VAS térdelve 1,82 (0–9) pont. Átlag Kujala 80,63 (49–98) pont, átlag IKDC 69,98 (33,33–98,85) pont, átlag Lysholm 82,84 (57–100) pont. Mindössze két betegnél nem volt radiológiai jele arthrosisnak. Vizsgálatunk alapján elmondható, hogy megfelelő indikációval végezve, a furat átmérőkre vonatkozó ajánlásokat betartva, s a rehabilitációt kellő körültekintéssel végezve a BTB allograftok jól használhatóak elülső keresztszalag replasztikák során. Felhasználásukkal kibővíthető az együlésben végzett replasztikák indikációs köre, s megkímélhető az ellenoldali térdízület integritása.

Authors: Szabó Tamás , Szuper Kinga , Vermes Csaba
Published: May 2023

A Pécsi Tudományegyetem Ortopédiai Klinikáján, 2009 márciusától 2012 végéig 62 Bösch műtétet vizsgáltunk, 9 operatőr által elvégezve, az átlagos utánkövetés 66 hónap volt. Mindannyian enyhe vagy középsúlyos hallux valgus deformitással rendelkeztek. A műtét eredményének megítélésére a fenti időszakban műtött betegek adatait a klinikai adatszolgáltató rendszerekből nyertük ki (Medsol, Medview), illetve a betegeket kontrollvizsgálatra visszarendeltük. A betegenként rendelkezésre álló 3 db röntgenfelvételen megmértük a hallux valgus (HV), intermetatarsalis (IM) és distalis metatarsalis ízfelszíni (DMA) szögeket. Továbbá felmértük a szövődményrátát, illetve értékeltük a posztoperatív betegelégedettséget. Mindhárom vizsgált radiológiai szögérték átlagértékei jelentősen csökkentek a preoperatív állapothoz képest, legnagyobb mértékben, szignifikánsan a hallux valgus szög esetében. Az átlag HV szög a preoperatív 37,4 fokról 12,9 fokra javult az utolsó kontrollvizsgálatnál, az átlag IM szög 13,9-ről 6,9 fokra csökkent. A DMA szög átlagértékei preoperatíve 14,2, utolsó kontrollnál 8,2 fok. A vizuális analóg fájdalom skála (VAS) kitöltése alapján, az operált betegek 91%-a nyilatkozott a műtét szubjektív sikerességéről. Szövődményt 9 esetben észleltünk, álízület képződés, korrekcióvesztés, illetve 2 esetben infekció formájában. Összefoglalásként elmondhatjuk a középtávú eredmények tükrében, hogy a Bösch műtét, a hallux valgus deformitás korrekciójára biztonsággal végezhető, megfelelő indikáció mellett jól korrigálja a HV, IM és DMA szögeket.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El Libellus de Medicinalibus Indorum Herbis (Librito de las Hierbas Medicinales de los Indios) incluye 185 plantas bellamente ilustradas, 131 interpretadas a especie. Solo algunas se han investigado respecto a las propiedades que ahí se les atribuyen. Por ello, seleccionamos seis plantas utilizadas como antiinflamatorias. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron corroborar su identidad botánica y determinar si la información química y farmacológica contemporánea respalda sus antiguas aplicaciones terapéuticas.Métodos: Para proponer las especies a las cuales posiblemente corresponden las ilustraciones de las plantas elegidas, estas se compararon con especímenes del Herbario MEXU. Se revisó en bases de datos la fitoquímica y actividad antiinflamatoria de dichas especies.Resultados clave: Las seis plantas seleccionadas del códice corresponden a cinco especies, pues consideramos que las plantas tetzmitl (Folium 13r) y texiyotl (Folium 22v) son la misma especie: Sedum dendroideum. Los extractos de las hojas de S. dendroideum han presentado actividad antiinflamatoria en diferentes modelos farmacológicos debido a derivados del flavonoide kaempferol, lo cual respalda sus antiguas aplicaciones médicas para tratar la cara, ojos y boca hinchados. En el Folium 48v se prescriben tzihuac copalli y tlacoecapatli cuando “se hincha la vena pinchada por la flebotomía”. Concordamos en que son Bursera bipinnata y Litsea glaucescens, respectivamente. A la fecha, no se han investigado sus posibles propiedades antiinflamatorias, pero sí las presentan otras especies relacionadas. El Folium 22v recomienda tememetla y tequixquiçacatl para aliviar la boca inflamada. Corroboramos que son Echeveria gibbiflora y Distichlis spicata, respectivamente. Dichas especies no cuentan con estudios químico-farmacológicos.Conclusiones: La revisión bibliográfica sugiere que las propiedades antiinflamatorias atribuidas en el Códice para S. dendroideum tienen sustento químico y farmacológico. La información quimiotaxonómica y farmacológica sugiere que B. bipinnata y L. glaucescens podrían presentarlas y deben investigarse experimentalmente. Estas tres especies aún se emplean como antiinflamatorias en la medicina tradicional contemporánea.

Translation of verbal humor in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie
Authors: Mulyati Ananda Felin Tri , Nugroho Andy Bayu
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify the different types of verbal humor in the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, classify the translation techniques used to translate the verbal humor in the Indonesian subtitle, and assess the acceptability of the verbal humor translation. This study makes use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative method was used to define, classify, and describe the verbal humor types and the translation techniques. Furthermore, the quantitative method was used to assess the translation's acceptability. The data were analyzed by comparing the dialogue transcript from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with its Indonesian subtitle. The findings show that sarcasm is the most prevalent type of verbal humor. This is consistent with the main character, Willy Wonka, who is highly judgmental and arrogant. The most common translation technique discovered is transfer, which means that the subtitle delivers the verbal humor word for word. The acceptability score of the verbal humor translation is 2.5, indicating that the audience must reread and rethink the humor to understand it. This is not satisfying because it takes the audience's attention away from the movie.Keywords: verbal humor, translation technique, translation quality assessment, sarcasm, movie
The use of infodemiology in the development of targeted public health actions on endometriosis in France: a mixed & patient-centric methodology (Preprint)

BACKGROUND

Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological disease of women of reproductive age linked to menstruation and the hormones that trigger it. The symptoms of endometriosis have a major impact on women’s quality of life, either on a psychological level or on a societal one. Today, as many other female-specific topics, endometriosis is under-researched and under-diagnosed and many causes remain unknown. Although literature suggests that endometriosis patients are prone to use social network as a self-management tool and discuss various topics related to their disease, very few papers applied infodemiological (epidemiology based on internet health-related content) methods to endometriosis.

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this study is to understand whether infodemiology could be useful for public health decision makers in the management of patients with endometriosis and to prove it to be a reliable study methodology.

METHODS

Firstly, social media post were collected between January 2020 and 2022 from France geolocalized sites using keyword for endometriosis. Automatic natural language processing methods were used to identify relevant patients with endometriosis posts expressing difficulties and unmet needs. Then, semi-structured interviews were conducted during July 2022 with 9 women with endometriosis and healthcare professionals. Discussions were recorded and transcribed verbatims were analysed through a thematic analysis allowing to generate general statistics on the most discussed topics.

RESULTS

A total of 2,396 written by 1,742 patients with endometriosis were included. 2,317 (96.70%) were identified as containing at least one difficulty. The top 3 unmet needs and difficulties were difficulties present throughout the care pathway (71.1%; n = 1701), pathology-related (57.2%; n = 1,356) and treatments and medical procedures (20.6 %; n = 492). Semi-structured interviews show that the top 3 main difficulties for patients with endometriosis were difficulties related to treatments (30% of the detected medical concepts), impact of the disease on the patient's environment (29% of the concepts) and transversal difficulties (16% of the concepts).

CONCLUSIONS

The bi-patient-centric approach with limited manual work allows to identify difficulties encountered by patients with endometriosis in France. The mixed-methodology of this study appears ideal to demonstrate their complementarity and to justify the use of AI algorithms for public health decision-making. Furthermore, endometriosis is a disease affecting a wide range of women, each with their own specific difficulties. They now expect societal and medical recognition of their illness and care pathways adapted to their individual symptoms.

UNSTRUCTURED

The Nordic countries are, together with the United States, forerunners in online record access (ORA), which has now become widespread. The importance of accessible and structured health data has also been highlighted by policy makers internationally. To ensure the full realization of ORA’s potential in the short and long term, there is a pressing need to study ORA from a cross-disciplinary, clinical, humanistic, and social sciences perspective that looks beyond strictly technical aspects. In this viewpoint paper, we explore the policy changes in the European Health Data Space (EHDS) proposal to advance ORA across the European Union, informed by our research in a Nordic-led project that carries out the first of its kind, large-scale international investigation of patients’ ORA—NORDeHEALTH (Nordic eHealth for Patients: Benchmarking and Developing for the Future). We argue that the EHDS proposal will pave the way for patients to access and control third-party access to their electronic health records. In our analysis of the proposal, we have identified five key principles for ORA: (1) the right to access, (2) proxy access, (3) patient input of their own data, (4) error and omission rectification, and (5) access control. ORA implementation today is fragmented throughout Europe, and the EHDS proposal aims to ensure all European citizens have equal online access to their health data. However, we argue that in order to implement the EHDS, we need more research evidence on the key ORA principles we have identified in our analysis. Results from the NORDeHEALTH project provide some of that evidence, but we have also identified important knowledge gaps that still need further exploration.
Bilingual Complex Abstract Lexical Structure and Its Relevance to Interlanguage Studies
Authors: Wei Longxing
Published: May 2023

This study adopts two assumptions about abstract lexical structure. One is that lexical structure is modular: lexical information is organized into subsystems pointing to different levels of linguistic structure, and parts of lexical structure can be split and recombined. The other concerns the sources of morphemes actually occurring in surface strings. As commonly recognized, abstract lexical structure contains three levels: lexical-conceptual structure, predicate-argument structure, and morphological realization patterns. This study argues that abstract lexical structure becomes “complex” because the bilingual mental lexicon contains lemmas (i.e., abstract entries about lexemes) from different sources, such as learners’ first language, their target language, and their interlanguage. By adopting a multi-layered speech production model (Levelt, 1989; Myers-Scotton & Jake, 2001; Wei, 2002, 2015, 2020), it further argues that different types of morphemes are accessed at different levels of language production, resulting in different degrees of learning difficulty (an implicational hierarchy of second language morpheme acquisition) and different types of learner errors in interlanguage production. The typical instances of learner errors for the study are collected from interlanguage performance by adult second language learners with various first language backgrounds. This study aims to explore the nature of the bilingual mental lexicon and mechanisms of interlanguage development.

Authors: Khairunnisa Noviandani , Warnita Warnita , Hervani Dini
Published: May 2023

Microgreens are a new class of vegetables that are harvested within 7-21 days after sowing, have a lot of nutritional potential and are a new trend in the food industry. One type of microgreens that is grown commercially is broccoli. The nutrients in broccoli microgreens are 4-6 times more than mature plants, contain good vitamin C, and contain antioxidants that can help protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals. Cultivating microgreens requires the right planting medium and nutrients to support plant growth. The research objective was to obtain the interaction between the types of growing media and the nutrients used to increase the growth and yield of broccoli microgreens. This research was carried out from October to November 2022 at the Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University. The study was a two-factorial experiment in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 replications. The first factor is several types of planting media, namely soil, cocopeat, and rock wool. The second factor consisted of several types of nutrition, namely AB mix and young coconut water. Observational data were analyzed using statistical analysis of variance test F. If F Count treatment is greater than F Table 5% then it will be continued with the DNMRT test at 5% level. The results showed that there was an interaction between the type of growing media and the nutrition given to the growth of broccoli microgreens. The use of rock wool growing media and AB mix nutrition gave the best response for the observed parameters of seedling height, number of leaves, fresh weight, and chlorophyll content. The results of the antioxidant analysis carried out when harvesting broccoli microgreens gave a red color change when given HCl, whereas if NaOH was added drop by drop there was no blue color change. So it can be concluded that broccoli microgreens contain betacyanin.
La Transformación del culto
Authors: Tello Maximiliano
Published: May 2023

In this article I seek to contribute to the understanding of certain aspects of the ritual life of the native societies of the North Calchaquí Valley during the Inka colonization. For this, I am going to focus on the strategies developed by the people and families who were transferred from their villages of origin and resettled in the vicinity of imperial settlements, thus going on to live under the Inca orbit. The main axis will be placed on the rituals that are practiced inside the houses, such as 1) burials and 2) the daily ceremonial. To analyze this I will compare two different socio-historical contexts, a) two sites with long-standing occupation with evidence of Inka contact where the imperial influence was not so direct and b) two sites located in the vicinity or within Inka settlements, where the influence of the Tawantinsuyu was more direct. Based on this, I will argue why there is a rupture of memory and the sense of place in the families that were resettled and how new frameworks of meaning are created in this new socio-political context in which they found themselves.

Published: May 2023

En el comienzo de la historia del grafeno, el óxido de grafeno representaba únicamente un paso intermedio en la metodología para la obtención de láminas de grafeno. Sin embargo, resultados posteriores de la investigación de este material mostraron que el óxido de grafeno exhibe una estructura con defectos y grupos funcionales que le confieren propiedades únicas. Dada la versatilidad de su superficie, se han propuesto distintas vías de funcionalización que han resultado en la obtención de gran variedad de materiales híbridos. En este trabajo, presentamos la obtención y caracterización de tres materiales funcionalizados basados en láminas de óxido de grafeno decoradas con nanopartículas de plata, dióxido de titanio e hidroxiapatita. Estas nanoestructuras fueron caracterizadas mediante difracción de rayos X, espectroscopia Raman y microscopia electrónica de transmisión. De forma particular se estudió la mejora en las propiedades térmicas del grafeno oxidado-nanopartículas de plata mediante análisis termogravimétrico (TGA), la mejora de las señales Raman mediante el mecanismo químico de SERS en el material decorado con dióxido de titanio y se realizó un ensayo de viabilidad celular MTT, en el que se observó que no presentaba citotoxicidad el grafeno oxidado decorado con hidroxiapatita obtenido al usar urea para la precipitación del biocerámico.
Síntesis de nanocompuestos oro-grafeno para la cuantificación electroquímica de peróxido de hidrógeno y glucosa

Published: May 2023

La cuantificación electroquímica de biomarcadores en fluidos frecuentemente emplea nanopartículas metálicas como sustratos de detección. El desarrollo de materiales de cuantificación ha evolucionado en las últimas décadas con la incorporación de materiales de grafeno a los sistemas de medición, generando variantes de compuestos de grafeno-nanometales, Los materiales compuestos aprovechan la gran conductividad electrónica del grafeno y el aumento en la sensibilidad y selectividad que les confiere. El óxido de grafeno y productos reducidos de éste, se han usado tradicionalmente en la manufactura de compuestos de grafeno-nanopartículas metálicas. La tendencia se explica por la relativa facilidad de síntesis de los materiales oxidados de grafeno, sin embargo, esta facilidad tiene como inconveniente la pérdida de propiedades eléctricas de los materiales sintetizados y la posible disminución de sus características de detección. Para evitar estas restricciones, idealmente se deberían de usar como sustratos materiales de grafeno no oxidados, sin embargo, su manufactura no es sencilla. Reportamos aquí un método de preparación de nanoplaquetas de grafeno prístino y su fácil conversión a compuestos decorados con nanopartículas de oro. Describimos el uso de los compuestos como sustratos útiles para la cuantificación electroquímica de glucosa y peróxido de hidrógeno en fluidos.

El presente trabajo tiene la finalidad de dar a conocer el desarrollo de un prototipo de sensor para la medición de mercurio (Hg2+) en solución acuosa sobre una plataforma electroquímica basada en electrodos serigrafiados de nanotubos de carbonos (CNT-SPE) en conjunto con nanopartículas de oro (NPs-Au) realizadas a través de síntesis verde, utilizando extracto acuoso de Sargassum spp. Para esto, se realizó la caracterización de las NPs-Au por espectroscopía ultravioleta-visible (UV-Vis), infrarrojo (TF-IR), difracción de rayos X (DRX) y microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM); obteniendo nanopartículas entre 80-100 nm las cuales poseen un recubrimiento orgánico que les confiere una sinergia al momento de ser conjugadas con CNT-SPE oxidadas/activadas. Posteriormente, las NPs-Au se utilizaron para modificar el CNT-SPE a través del método drop-casting y así ensamblar un novedoso sensor electroquímico para la medición de Hg2+, cuya validación y habilidad para medir fue demostrada utilizando voltametría diferencial de pulso (DPV). Se obtuvieron límites de detección de 2.38 uM y cuantificación de 3 uM. Los resultados demuestran que la plataforma desarrollada es una alternativa rápida, eficiente y portátil para la medición de Hg2+.
Reduction of Cement Consumption, Carbon Foot Print and Improvisation of Durability Performance of Concrete by using High Dosage of High Grade PCE based Superplasticiser
Authors: Laskar Dr Abdullah Ahmed , Ghosh Dr Partha , Tiwari Gopal , Sarkar Anupam , B Vamadev G
Published: May 2023

Abstract: In present world global warming is one of the primary concern of the world community due to continuous increasing of carbon foot print since last few decades. Among the different source of carbon foot print in global atmosphere, cement industry alone contribute nearly 8% to the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions as 1 MT of cement production is generating nearly 0.87 MT CO2 to the atmosphere. Hence considering the threat of continuously increasing carbon foot print of the atmosphere number of ways were adopted for reduction of carbon foot print by many researchers in past like using of supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in production of concrete. But in the present research work it has been revealed that by using of high grade PCE based superplasticizer with an increased dosage has shown significant reduction in the consumption of cement with regards to strength requirement of concrete. Thus by reduction of cement consumption in concrete has shown significant reduction of carbon foot print generated from cement industry. On the other side the present research work has also revealed that, by using of high grade PCE based superplasticizer with an increased dosage helps to produce high workability & high performance concrete at very low w/c ratio. Thus because of using very low w/c ratio in concrete without impacting its fresh concrete properties there is a significant improvement has been noticed in hardened concrete properties like increase in strength of concrete, reduction in pore sizes of concrete resulting improvement of concrete durability performance. With regards to cost analysis of the proposal based on the present research work, it is found that using of increased dosage of superplasticiser in concrete is still found to be economic as compared to cost of concrete with high dosage of superplasticiser, as the cost reduction of concrete is higher due to higher amount of cement reduction in concrete as compared to extra cost of Superplasticizer in concrete beyond the optimum dosage of superplasticiser in concrete.
Job Recommendation System Using NLP
Authors: Kumari Sneha
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Recommender systems is one of the most successful machine learning applications. We are exposed to the products/information recommended by these systems everywhere in our daily life. This project will introduce several recommender systems in NLP, specifically in the domain of online recruitment. I will explain the important ideas behind the recommender systems in our web application, it might be also similar with those in recruiting platforms like LinkedIn, Xing. One of my main jobs is to design and develop recommender systems on the skill-based matching app. Before getting into this specific topic, I would like to go over the general concepts and methods of current recommender system in different domains. We have provided a brief overview of the approaches, techniques, and applications of recommendation systems in this paper. One significant application of recommendation systems is in the field of job recruitment, where candidates are chosen using online job recruitment portals based on their profiles, employment histories, and behavioral tendencies. According to a recent survey, this field has not been thoroughly investigated up to this point, and the current job recommender system has many flaws. They analyze resumes, profiles, and job descriptions, but because of the "cold start" problem, new job postings and candidate profiles are not properlymatched. In some cases, potential candidates lose their jobs as a result of inadequate job descriptions and education information in the ontology.

Abstract: Our project aims to provide a solution for viewing and editing metadata, which is the concealed data embedded within image files. Metadata typically includes crucial information such as the date and location where the photo was taken, the author's details, camera specifications, and other relevant data. By leveraging our project, users can easily access and modify this information. This enhances the confidentiality of the image and allows for safe sharing of images on social media platforms without any concerns. Many users are unaware of the importance of metadata in image files, which can contain critical information such as the location, date, and time of the photo's capture, as well as camera settings and other relevant data. This information can be essential for organizing and categorizing images, as well as for legal and security purposes. However, most users lack the tools and knowledge required to view and edit this metadata, which can lead to privacy and security concerns when sharing images online. Therefore, is the need for a user-friendly and efficient solution that allows users to access and edit image metadata easily, enhancing the confidentiality and security of their images while enabling safer sharing on social media platforms

Published: May 2023

Abstract: Governments have a lot of responsibilities, which involves a lot of money transactions for various projects, employees, and farmer schemes. Corruption is a big problem as it's hard to track and can slow progress. We can solve this by using blockchain technology. Blockchain is a list of records that are linked and secured using cryptography. Each record contains transaction data, a timestamp, and a cryptographic hash of the previous record. We use security algorithms like AES encryption and decryption to protect the data. This project proposes a system to track government funds using key pair generation, metadata file decryption, and data verification algorithms.
Reseña: Populism in the civil sphere

Este volumen colectivo trata de ilustrar cómo la Teoría de la Esfera Civil (TEC) puede contribuir a la comprensión del populismo. La TEC es una de las ramificaciones de la llamada “sociología cultural” y representa la contribución de dicho paradigma a la teorización de la democracia liberal moderna (Alexander, 2006). Populism in the Civil Sphere se compone, en su mayor parte, por un conjunto de estudios de caso sobre diversos proyectos populistas a lo largo del mundo. Celso Villegas analiza la dinámica del discurso antipopulista en Filipinas, con especial referencia al ascenso del proyecto populista de Rodrigo Duterte.
The Ancient Origins of Modern Public Administration (Based on the Materials of the Hebrew Bible)
Authors: Kovalev Andrey A. , Katanandov Sergey L.
Published: May 2023

Currently, there is a certain discrepancy between the theory of public administration and declarations in this area to the real state of affairs in the modern state. The purpose of the study is to search for the origins of public administration in the texts of the Hebrew Bible, as well as to compare modern principles of public administration with biblical ones in order to demonstrate the relevance of politically oriented texts of an ancient religious monument. Comparative analysis, retrospective analysis, as well as the system method were used as scientific methods in this study. The work used the texts of the Holy Scriptures, as well as the approaches of domestic and foreign scientists to understanding these texts in the context of studying the basics of public administration. A comparative study of modern principles of public administration and those foundations of statehood, which were described in the Hebrew Bible, allows us to demonstrate their continuity. The authors come to the conclusion that, if we do not take into account the divine version of the cessation of the existence of the statehood of the ancient Jews for a long time, it can be stated that it was the violation of the principles of state organization that destroyed the ancient state. But the politically well-developed mentality of the people and political culture allowed this statehood to resume after millennia. Thus, the organization of public administration, according to the Hebrew Bible, with proper adaptation to modern realities, can at least partially solve problems in this area.

Aim: To determine chronotype, daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, and depression level among school students during lockdown and post-lockdown online classes, and how it differed from their offline classes. Methodology: The study was conducted in three phases. The first phase was conducted during April and July 2019, second phase was conducted between 25th April to 23rd May 2020, and the third phase was conducted during July during August 2021. Hundred school students (46 male and 54 female) of age group 14-20 years participated. Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) was used to measure their chronotype, while daytime sleepiness was assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Pittsburgh’s Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the sleep quality. Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) was used to determine the depression level. Results: Results showed an increase in the evening type and a decrease in the morning and neither type persons during lockdown and online classes. In addition, higher depression levels, more daytime sleepiness, and poor sleep quality were observed during lockdown and online classes, irrespective of gender. Altogether, study suggests that lockdown and social isolation during post lockdown had a poor mental effect, increased daytime sleepiness, and poor sleep quality in school students. Interpretation: These findings would help in planing policies on the interventions on sleep, circadian rhythms, and stress management to maintain a healthy sleep-wake cycle and daily routine during social isolation. Key words: Daytime sleepiness, Depression, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, Pittsburgh’s Sleep Quality Index

Namun, literasi dan penggunaan teknologi dalam pengolahan kopi masih dalam skala yang rendah karena masih terdapat produsen kopi yang berasal dari pedesaan di mana akses informasi masih terbatas. Selain itu, harga alat pengolahan kopi otomatis, khususnya pada proses sangrai (roasting) juga cukup mahal sehingga tidak terjangkau oleh produsen kopi skala kecil-menengah. Dengan memadukan antara pemahaman tentang pengolahan kopi dan teknologi kendali yang telah berkembang, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat alat sangrai semi otomatis dengan kategori tingkat kematangan biji kopi berdasarkan pada suhu. Alat ini menggunakan desain sangrai manual dengan tetap mempertahankan pemanasnya menggunakan kompor gas portabel. Sistem elektronisnya menggunakan Arduino Uno. Algoritma yang diberikan pada sistem yaitu ketika suhu terukur lebih besar atau sama dengan suhu yang diatur maka buzzer akan aktif sebagai pemberitahuan bahwa proses sangrai sudah terpenuhi. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa pemanasan saat proses sangrai biji kopi adalah rata-rata pada target suhu 170 oC membutuhkan waktu 19 menit sedang pada target suhu 150 oC membutuhkan waktu 16 menit. Durasi tersebut bervariasi tergantung pada jenis sangrainya, yaitu light, medium, dan dark. Sangrai semi otomatis ini juga lebih hemat gas, yang mana 1 kaleng gas dapat digunakan untuk menyangrai 6-7 kali, sedangkan pada sangrai mesin manual hanya 3 kali saja.
SCIENTIFICAL METHOD OF THE TAFSIR OF PESANTREN: A STUDY OF KYAI BISRI MUSTAFA’S TAFSIR SURAH YASIN (1915-1977)
Authors: Gusmian Islah , Mustaffa Abdullah
Published: May 2023

Studies on the history of Qur'anic interpretation (tafsir) in Indonesia, such as those conducted by Riddel, A.H. John, and Howard M. Federspiel, generally do not relate to the tradition and culture of pesantren. In fact, as the oldest Islamic educational institution in Indonesia, pesantren has a dynamic and complex history and tradition of Qur'anic interpretation literacy. This article examines one side of the tradition of Qur'anic interpretation in pesantren through Tafsir Surah Yasinby Kyai Bisri Mustafa. This book of tafsir was selected; in addition to representing the tradition of interpretation in pesantren, science is used to explain the messages of the Qur'an in it. In this book, the explanation of science is not used as a justification for the scientificity of the Qur'an, nor is it used as a way to Islamise science, but as an affirmation of the spiritual aspects and implicit messages of the Qur'anic text. Axiologically, Kyai Bisri uses the scientific approach, not for science but to explain the sunnatullah (natural law) and divine existence. Through Tafsir Surah Yasin, he rejects Western science that tends to be materialistic-nihilistic and, at the same time, affirms the transcendence of science in Islam.
STRATEGIES FOR RELIGIOUS CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN INDONESIA: A CASE STUDY OF THE JA’FARIYAH SHI’A MINORITY IN TERNATE
Authors: Fatum Abubakar  , Muttaqin Zaenal , Salimah Muhammed Husayn  , Dian Nur Anna
Published: May 2023

This study aims to describe and analyse the relationship between religious groups, societies, and governments, as well as strategies for managing religious conflict, with a case study of the Ja'fariyah Shi'a minority group in Moya, Ternate. The Shi'a community led by Nawawi Husni, according to the Jema'ah Ahlul Bait Indonesia (IJABI), is considered to have different religious teachings and practices and is judged to be inconsistent with the teachings of the Shi'a in general. In addition to having a layered complexity, the existence of this community is also considered misguided, so it is often the target of the intolerance of other religious groups, even by the local government. Through a qualitative approach using a sociological perspective, the results of this study revealed that the silent (non-reactive) attitude of the Ja'fariyah Shi'a group in responding to various rejections and misconceptions about its group is not passive. Instead, they choose to do "resistance" creatively by using the media to counter negative opinions against them. The choice of this "resistance" model is not separate from the role and position of Husni Nawawi in attracting the government's interests. Consider that the pattern of hard-power conflict approaches must change to the smart-power transformation model.
CONTESTATION OF ISLAMISM OVER THE QUR’ANIC INTERPRETATION: A STUDY ON AL-TAFSIR AL-TAUHIDI OF HASAN AL-TURABI
Authors: Zulyadain  , Wathani Syamsul , Akhmad Mughzi Abdillah
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Islamist ideology and the birth of a tafsir. Hasan al-Turabi, an Islamic ideologue in Sudan, has a basic view of the Qur'an and his own method of interpretation in al-Tafsir al-Tauhidi. This study discovered that Islamism was perceived as a unified Islamic view based on historical dialectical perspectives and an effective historical analysis. Islamism is defined as a form of application of all Islamic values and principles, particularly in advancing social justice values, based on the perspective that the Qur'an teaches tauhid and that every verse is united. From an effective historical perspective, al-Turabi's pattern of interpretation offers methodological-material criticism of the classical and modern tafsir. His model of interpretation emphasizes the excavation of message elements and is used as a guide for living today. The Qur'an is a set of guidelines not only for faith and worship, but also for all aspects of life. As a result, Qur'anic interpretation must be consistent and founded on Qur'anic fundamental values. The presence of al-Tafsir al-Tauhidi demonstrates that al-Turabi's pattern interpretation is not independent from his intellectual, ideological, and political context in Sudan.
FUNDAMENTALIST DA’WAH MOVEMENT: THE STUDY OF LOCAL TABLIGHI JAMA’AH GROUP AND ITS ACCEPTANCE IN MADURA
Authors: Zamhari Arif , Ahsan Riadi
Published: May 2023

This paper analyzes the form of religious fundamentalism displayed through Tablighi Jama'ah’s da’wah movement in Madura and uncovers the rationale for Madura’s community's acceptance of this da’wah movement group. This paper is qualitative research using a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews with some main figures and followers of the group, a series of observations, and documentation of the da’wah activities undergone by the group. The result shows that the Tablighi Jama'ah’s da’wah movement in Madura can be categorized as a puritanical Islamic fundamentalist movement, particularly because it intends to purify faith, sharia, and morals. In contrast to the beliefs of other religious groups, this group prohibits an active and massive use of technology because it is perceived as a direct obstacle to da’wah and is considered full of immorality. This group emphasizes the so-called sunnah appearance, such as using robes, turbans, siwak, cingkrang trousers, and not being engaged in practical politics. Moreover, they also emphasize congregational prayers and the necessity of living a simple life. This paper also signifies that the Madura community accepts the Tablighi Jama'ah because their religious practices are congruently aligned with the teachings of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah. In addition, the acceptance of the Madura community is due to their obedience toward the Kiai, who have previously accepted the Tablighi Jama'ah da’wah activities in Madura.
ISLAM, (UN)CIVIL SOCIETY AND CHALLENGES FOR DEMOCRATISATION IN INDONESIA
Authors: Zuhri Syaifudin
Published: May 2023

This article tries to critically examine the idea of civil society in light of Indonesia's Islamist politics. This raises the question of how far the idea of a civil society in a democratic country leads to public civility. This is an important question that must be addressed. The Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI) is the main focus of this article. MMI, one of the most active Islamist organizations founded after the fall of the authoritarian regime of the New Order, develops political frameworks that endanger democracy and public civility. MMI became an organization that advocates for uncivil discourses of Islamic interpretation, thus representing Indonesia's (un)civil society. It is most visible in the organization's views on democracy and its interpretation of the "jihad" doctrine. As a result, the article concludes that the classification of Indonesian civil society should include both civil and (un)civil society. In addition to civil society, Indonesia should include uncivil society, even if their orientation is different. An un-civil society threatens democracy and public civility while civil society is fighting for it.
The Strengths of Speech Delay: Getting a Grip on the Sensory-Motor Complexity of Autism
Authors: Kapp Steven
Published: May 2023

This article analyzes the visual, auditory, vocal, and motor advantages
among autistic people with speech onset delay (A-SOD) compared with
autistic people without speech delay (A-NoSOD) and sometimes
non-autistic people. Importantly, their intelligence and communication
skills are often underestimated. In addition, this paper provides
suggestions to leverage strengths and address weaknesses from a
sensory-motor perspective. Visual strengths are applied to IQ testing,
reading and writing, and interpreting facial expressions. Auditory
applications range from pain to music to speech development.
Implications include suggestions for both production and perception of
speech. The recommendations address both language’s relationship to
motor development and the role of general language learning.
Paradoxically, strengths in auditory perception may contribute to speech
delay but also help A-SOD catch up to A-NoSOD, and continue to help
A-SOD develop. Understanding A-SOD’s strengths may help to recognize how
they make developmental gains in speech and language, and build from
their strengths.

Authors: Li Jiagen , Jiang Xuefeng
Published: May 2023

C-aryl glycosides are an important kind of carbohydrate derivatives for
drug discovery, due to their distinctive attributes of resistance to
hydrolysis from enzymes. Herein, C-aryl glycosylation was established
for the synthesis of 2-sulfur C-aryl glycals and
1,2-dihydrobenzofuran-fused C-aryl glycosides via interrupted Pummerer
process, featured with sulfonium-tethered [3,3]-sigmatropic
rearrangement between sulfoxide glycals and phenols. This protocol
offers a broad substrate scope with diverse glycosyl and phe-nols.
Dapagliflozin, Empagliflozin, and Ipragliflozin analogs were
straightforward achieved, respectively.

The relationship between team size and software quality has been
a long-standing topic of debate in the software development industry.
While larger teams were traditionally believed to be more productive and
produce higher-quality software, recent research has shown that this
relationship is more complex than originally thought. The paper examines
several studies that have found conflicting results, highlighting the
need for further research to explore the moderating factors that
influence this relationship. The research suggests that team
communication and coordination, developer experience, and project
complexity are key factors that may interact with team size to influence
software quality. Future studies should consider these moderating
factors and use a range of quality metrics to provide a comprehensive
assessment of software quality. These findings have important
implications for project managers and software development teams who
need to make informed decisions about team size and project planning. By
optimizing team size and considering the factors that influence software
quality, they can improve the overall quality of their software
products. Effective communication and coordination among team members
are critical to ensure that development efforts are aligned and
productive, particularly when dealing with larger teams. Additionally,
developers’ experience and the complexity of the project can affect the
software quality outcome. Therefore, project managers must evaluate
these factors and tailor team size and project planning accordingly to
meet the desired quality objectives. Overall, the research provides
insights into the complex relationship between team size and software
quality, which can help project managers and software development teams
make informed decisions to optimize their development efforts. By
leveraging the moderating factors that influence software quality, teams
can better understand how to improve their software products’ overall
quality, leading to better outcomes for their organizations and
end-users.
