Published: July 2024

Medical diagnostics has been revolutionized with the discovery of X-rays. The number of radiological procedures performed globally has increased rapidly during past decades and according to UNSCEAR 2021 report, 4.2 billion medical radiological procedures are performed annually. Ionizing radiations if not used appropriately and carefully can lead to health hazards for health professionals involved in the radiation work as well as patients undergoing the radiological procedure. However, the awareness about the ionising radiation and radiation safety is very limited among the healthcare professionals. This educational paper will provide basic insights in radiation protection training, and key topics to cover during education and training for nurses working in various medical radiological procedures of patients. Nurses need to understand radiation protection principles and ways to minimize their exposure of radiation during radiological procedures. They should be able to practically apply radiation protection principles in healthcare settings with enhanced patient and occupational safety without Radiophobia. Applying radiation safety culture in nursing practice improves quality and safety in patient care.

Authors: Dinneen Cara , Gardiner John , Sameer Mohammed , Cullen Sharon , Hickey Tony , Vasquez Alejandra , Lara Jose , Mazzei Mariela
Published: July 2024

Direct Entry Programs (DEPs) at Australian universities are designed to enhance students’ English language and academic skills, with the primary goals of preparing and assuring students’ readiness for university studies. Given that university tasks often require the integration of language skills (e.g., writing assignments using information from lectures, articles, and textbooks), this paper proposes the use of integrated assessment tasks in DEPs to increase the authenticity in their assessment approach by using tasks that replicate actual university learning, teaching, and assessment practices. To encourage the shift from standard practice of separate skills testing to integrated assessment, we present key findings of a literature review in integrated assessment use in language programs and show how integrated assessment is implemented in two institutions in Sydney, Australia. The paper also highlights advantages of cross-institutional peer review and proposes an argument-based validity framework for test design that language centres can use to guide good practice.

Exploration of Competitive Intensity, ESG, and Operational Performance in the Banking Industry
Authors: Liu Ting-Kun
Published: July 2024

Based on previous literature on the impact of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) on corporate operations, it is evident that the effects of corporate ESG investments on operational performance are not easily reflected in performance-related variables or indicators. Jung and Yoo (2023) also pointed out that in a competitive market, companies might overlook the implementation of ESG, resulting in an insignificant relationship between ESG and performance. Therefore, this study, from this perspective, constructs a panel data set of Taiwan's financial industry from 2010 to 2023 to explore the influence of competition level, ESG, and banking industry operational efficiency. In addition to including multiple performance variables, the study also considers various ESG ratings and scoring systems, and CommonWealth Magazine’s Sustainable Citizen Award. The sample is divided into pre-pandemic and post-pandemic sub-samples to further examine the differences in influencing factors across these periods.

Published: July 2024

Peruvian literature of the 19th century has important representatives that have been studied by critics. Its contextual conditions are highlighted, especially with two transcendental historical events: the independence of Peru and the War of the Pacific. Flora Tristán published Peregrinaciones de una paria at a time when independence was being consolidated in Peru. Later, María Nieves y Bustamante published Jorge o el hijo del pueblo after the war with Chile. Both writers constitute two creative representations of historical moments of Peruvian society. The first based on a hybrid text: a mix of personal diary, travel chronicle and adventure novel; and the second, as a historical and romantic novel from the late 19th century in Peru. The objective of this essay is to explore the historical representation in the literature carried out by these two writers.
The Moderating Efforts of Blended Learning on The Flexible Work Arrangements Approach and Students' Performance: Evidence from Student Perceptions
Authors: Sahiman Shara Fariza , Arokiasamy Lawrence
Published: July 2024

This research explores students' perceptions regarding the impact of flexible working arrangements (FWA) approach on their academic performance, with a focus on the moderating role of blended learning (BL) as an educational setting. A survey was conducted with students across foundation, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels in a Malaysian university to gather insights on how FWA and BL intersect to influence their performance. The findings indicate that FWA positively and significantly influences student performance. Additionally, the integration of BL was found to enhance the relationship between FWA and student performance. This suggests that the flexibility afforded by FWA, when combined with the benefits of BL such as increased engagement and personalised learning, can lead to improved academic outcomes from the students' perspective. The study provides practical implications for educators and institutions seeking to leverage technology and flexible arrangements to create more effective and adaptive learning environments. The theoretical contributions lie in enriching existing frameworks on student engagement, educational technology integration, and the dynamics of BL settings. Overall, this research offers valuable insights into how students perceive the combined effects of FWA and BL on their academic performance.

يتناول هذا البحث مواضع الوقف والابتداء واختلاف المعنى في سورة " البقرة "؛  فالوقف والابتداء: علم عَرَفَهُ العرب قديماً وحديثاً ، ذلك لأن العربي يقف على مقاطع كلامه بصورة عفوية تبعاً لسليقته اللغوية . فـــ بالوقف والابتداء يُعرف كيفية أداء المعنى، ويترتب على ذلك فوائد كثيرة، واستنباطات غزيرة ، ويؤمن الاحتراز عن الوقوع في المشكلات ولا يتأتى لأحد استنباط الأدلة الشرعية من القرآن الكريم إلا بمعرفته ، فتتغير أوجه التأويل تبعًا لاختلاف أماكن الوقف والابتداء .

Published: July 2024

A voltammetric method has been described that is characterized by speed and high accuracy, and at the same time it is considered a sensitive and fast method compared to traditional methods for determining uric acid in urine. The method was determined that relies on the use of a mercury electrode as the basic substrate for the working electrode through the use of two different techniques at the same time for the purpose of uric acid determination. Uric acid based on uric acid reduction wave. In the presence of acetate buffer solution with a pH of 7.0, the optimal conditions that affect the method were studied, such as the pH, equilibrium time, and volume of the reducing agent. The size of the model through the sequence of addition of samples against the reference electrode (Ag/AgCl) in the presence of (KCl) with a concentration of (3) molar at a clear reduction wave at a voltage of (-0.6) volts and gave results with regular linear relationships for all the methods used and they were applied and compared. By traditional methods of measurement using Spectrophotometric.

The objective of this research is to understand the dissemination strategy employed by Spanish fact-checking agencies through their WhatsApp channels. Specifically, it analyses the theme and function of the publications, the type of misinformation verified, and the interaction and multimedia presence. Quantitative content analysis is used to analyse the 258 messages published by Newtral, Maldita, and EFE Verifica on their WhatsApp channels over two months. The results show some interesting findings. Firstly, it is noteworthy that Newtral and Maldita have a regular publication frequency, but not EFE Verifica. Secondly, the conflict between Israel and Palestine dominates a large portion of the verifications by Newtral and EFE Verifica. In contrast, Maldita focuses on informing about topics related to science and technology or politics. Thirdly, it is highlighted that only Maldita seeks to promote real interaction with users through reactions. These findings provide insights into the use of newly created WhatsApp channels by fact-checking agencies.

Esta investigación examina la intersección existente entre el posicionamiento en buscadores (SEO), la inteligencia artificial (IA) y el monitoreo de noticias en el periodismo digital. Para ello se lleva a cabo un análisis comparativo entre medios de comunicación brasileños y españoles, concretamente, Folha de São Paulo, Estadão, El Mundo y El País mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas que se analizan cualitativamente utilizando el programa ATLAS.ti. Este trabajo revela, entre otras cosas, que las tres herramientas coexisten en las redacciones, pero todavía no cuentan con una coordinación integrada que impacte en la agenda de medios y en la producción y distribución de noticias. Los resultados sugieren una influencia continua del SEO, la IA y el monitoreo de noticias en las rutinas periodísticas, pero limitada por la falta de un framework unificado. Por último, esta investigación destaca la necesidad de equilibrar la visibilidad web con la integridad periodística y aporta una perspectiva novedosa sobre el uso de estos tres elementos en el periodismo digital.

La confianza es un aspecto básico en el trabajo diario de las plataformas de fact-checking. Este valor sustenta las relaciones que mantienen con dos actores clave en el proceso periodístico: las fuentes informativas y las audiencias. Partiendo de los discursos de confianza (Manninen, 2017) y de la transparencia participativa (Karlsson, 2010), el objetivo de este estudio es analizar las relaciones que establecen las plataformas de fact-checking independientes hacia sus fuentes, por un lado, y sus audiencias, por otro. Para ello, se realiza un análisis de contenido cualitativo de las páginas web de 18 iniciativas de 18 países y seis entrevistas en profundidad a editores/as y/o periodistas de seis de los proyectos analizados. Entre los resultados obtenidos, se observa cómo las plataformas encarnan un discurso de confianza pragmático en el uso de las fuentes, con las oficiales y las expertas como las más utilizadas. Además, otorgan una alta confianza a su audiencia, a la que introducen en el proceso de producción periodístico, y ponen en marcha numerosas acciones de alfabetización mediática, una línea de trabajo con un alto potencial.
Analisis Komparatif Terhadap Interpretasi Sifat Istiwa Allah Menurut Pandangan Sunni, Salafi dan Syi’ah Kontemporer
Authors: Bakri Abu , Ulinnuha Muhammad , Ariyadi Samsul
Published: July 2024

Salah satu polemik utama dalam kajian teologis Islam adalah interpretasi ayat-ayat sifat Allah. Perselisihan dalam memahami ayat-ayat ini telah menimbulkan tuduhan, hinaan terhadap ulama, dan memicu perpecahan di kalangan umat Islam. Jika tidak ditangani dengan dialog antar kelompok, perbedaan ini bisa menyebabkan saling mengkafirkan atau membid’ahkan sesama Muslim. Penelitian ini menganalisis karya tafsir modern dari tiga kelompok utama dalam Islam: Sunni, Salafi, dan Syiah. Ketiga kelompok ini dipilih karena mereka masih memiliki pengikut yang signifikan. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah teori kontekstualisasi double movement Fazlur Rahman untuk mengeksplorasi pemahaman para mufassir dari ketiga kelompok tersebut terhadap ayat sifat. Tujuannya adalah mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan perbedaan interpretasi ayat-ayat ini dan membangun kerangka pemahaman yang sesuai dengan ajaran Rasulullah saw. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan dalam interpretasi ayat sifat terutama disebabkan oleh cara klasifikasi ayat dan tujuan pemahaman mereka. Sunni dan Syiah menganggap ayat sifat sebagai âyât mutasyâbihat, yang berarti mereka lebih memilih untuk mengimani dan menyerahkan maknanya kepada Allah atau menakwilkannya. Sebaliknya, Salafi menganggap ayat sifat sebagai muhkam dalam lafaz dan makna, tetapi mutasyâbihat dalam kaifiyyahnya. Meskipun berbeda, tujuan ketiga kelompok ini adalah mensucikan Allah.
Abstract
One of the main controversies in Islamic theological studies is the interpretation of verses regarding Allah's attributes. Disagreements in understanding these verses have led to accusations, insults against scholars, and divisions within the Muslim community. Without intergroup dialogue, these differences could result in mutual accusations of disbelief or heresy among Muslims. This research analyzes modern exegesis from three major Islamic groups: Sunni, Salafi, and Shia. These groups were selected due to their significant followings. The approach used is Fazlur Rahman's double movement contextualization theory to explore the exegesis from these groups on verses about Allah's attributes. The goal is to identify factors causing interpretative differences and develop an understanding framework in line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The research results indicate that differences in interpreting these verses are primarily due to the classification method and their intended understanding. Sunni and Shia consider the verses about attributes as âyât mutasyâbihât, meaning they prefer to believe in them and leave their meanings to Allah or interpret them allegorically. In contrast, Salafi view these verses as muhkam in wording and meaning but mutasyâbihât in their modality. Despite their differences, all three groups aim to exalt Allah.
