Published: December 2022

Streamflow depletion is occurring globally, due to land use change,
climate change, and increasing human water demand. Ecological effects of
low flows are particularly significant for diadromous fish, which
require connected stream networks to migrate between fresh and marine
waters. In coastal California, USA, drying streams are known to limit
rearing habitat for juvenile salmon, but effects on their seaward
migration remain poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the
outmigration of endangered, juvenile coho salmon ( Oncorhynchus
kisutch) during the late spring flow recession in four streams over 10
years. We monitored the outmigration of fish tagged with passive
integrated transponders via detections at stationary antennas, and we
measured stream water depths when movement was detected. We assessed
depths at multiple riffle crest thalwegs (RCTs), the shallowest
geomorphic feature that fish must navigate. Finally, we calculated
population-level outmigration depth preferences by evaluating depths
during fish movement, relative to depths available during the potential
outmigration window. Juvenile fish moved over a wide range of depths
(interquartile range 6.1–18.0 cm), which varied by year and stream.
Fish ceased to move at shallow water depths, which limited late-season
outmigration as stream drying occurred. Our findings suggest that
management actions to increase streamflow during the spring would
benefit salmon outmigration and could contribute to population recovery.
Streamflow-RCT depth relationships, used to assess coho depth
preferences during movement, is a relatively simple and effective method
for assessing environmental flow needs, a priority for aquatic
conservation in California and globally.

Authors: Cao Yilong , Wang Guixin
Published: December 2022

In this paper, a high-power low-speed diesel engine is studied, a
multi-component coupling calculation and analysis model is developed,
and transient dynamics and fatigue analysis software is applied to
assess the body, crankshaft, and connecting rod for strength. The S-N
curve of 42GrMoA material was measured utilizing a fatigue test, and the
fatigue life of the body, crankshaft and connecting rod was determined.
The accuracy of the simulation calculation was finally validated by
means of a scale model test. According to the experimental findings, the
relative errors of stress calculation at the reference point of the
crankshaft and connecting rod are 3.37% and 4.34%, respectively,
indicating a high degree of calculation accuracy. In addition, this
paper proposed a strength testing method incorporating multi-component
coupling transient dynamic analysis and fatigue life calculation for
low-speed diesel engines to accurately simulate the engine’s working
process and consider the interaction between different components. This
work provides method guidance and technical reference for the detailed
fatigue analysis of high-power and low-speed engine block components.

Authors: Kim Tae-Hoon , Yu Ga-In , Cho Yun-Ho , Bae Jae-Seok , Ahn Jong-Hwa , Jang Jeong Yoon , Park Yong Whi , Kwak Choong Hwan
Published: December 2022

Background: Although the beneficial effects of cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure (HF) are fully
established in HF with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%,
CRT strategy for HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) is
controversial. Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is an emerging
pacing modality and an alternative option to CRT, and the efficacy and
safety are promising so far. The aim of this analysis was to perform a
systematic review of the literature and meta‐analysis on impact of LBBAP
strategy in HFmrEF, with LVEF between 35 % and 50%. Methods:
PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for full-text
articles on LBBAP from inception to July 17, 2022. The outcomes of
interest were QRS duration, and LVEF at baseline and at follow-up in
mid-range HF. Data were extracted and summarized. A random-effect model
incorporating the potential heterogeneity was used to synthesize the
results. Results: Out of 1065 articles, 8 met the inclusion
criteria for 211 mid-range HF patients with an implant LBBAP across the
16 centers. The average implant success rate with lumenless pacing lead
use was 91.3%, and 19 complications were reported among all 211
enrolled patients. During the average follow-up of 9.1 months, average
LVEF were 39.8% at baseline and 50.5% at follow-up (MD: 10.90%, 95%
CI: 6.56 - 15.23 P<0.01). Average QRS duration were 152.6ms at
baseline and 119.3ms at follow-up (MD: -34.51ms, 95% CI: -60.00 to
-9.02, P < 0.01). Conclusion: LBBAP could
significantly reduce QRS duration and improve systolic function in
patient with LVEF between 35 and 50%. Application of LBBAP as a CRT
strategy for heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction may be
a viable option.
ASSOCIATION OF AVERAGE DAILY MORPHINE MILLIGRAM EQUIVALENTS AND FALLS IN OLDER ADULT CHRONIC OPIOIDS USERS
Authors: Hwang Stephanie , Hughes Tamera D. , Niznik Joshua , Ferreri Stefanie P.
Published: December 2022

Purpose: Opioids pose medication-related adverse effects,
including falls. Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal
injuries in older adults. Though opioids are not generally recommended
in older adults, they are still commonly prescribed. Limited research
exists regarding the total daily dose of opioids and risk of falls in
older adults. The objective of this analysis was to determine the
association of the total daily dose of opioids and the occurrence of
falls in older adults. Methods: This was a retrospective,
multicenter, community-based cohort study in older adults receiving
chronic opioids seen in any of ten outpatient clinics. Data from
electronic health records was used to determine the association of daily
morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) with falls in older adults. The
summation of scheduled and breakthrough MMEs from prescription orders
over a 1-year look-back period was used to calculate MMEs. The primary
outcome was fall history in that same year based on patient self-report.
A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to identify a
threshold of average daily MMEs to predict an increase in fall risk.
Results: A total of 762 patients were included, with the
majority being white females and approximately 75 years old. Based on
ROC analyses, the threshold where fall risk increased was 37 MMEs
(p=0.07). Conclusions: For older adults, being prescribed more
than 37 MMEs per day may be the point at which risk of falls increases
significantly.

Published: December 2022

Several studies have reported a possible link between antiaquaporin- 4 antibody and vitamin B12 deficiency in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Bilaterally symmetric hyperintense signals on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the posterior columns, called the inverted V sign, are a characteristic feature of subacute combined degeneration associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. We report a patient with anti-aquaporin-4 antibodypositive NMOSD and an inverted V sign on MRI of the spinal cord and address the association between anti-aquaporin-4 antibody and functional vitamin B12 deficiency.

Authors: Zivojinov Mirjana , Ilic Aleksandra , Lakic Tanja , Stanisic Ivana , Panic Zeljka
Published: December 2022

Introduction. Melanoma is a solid aggressive tumor characterized by the malignant transformation of melanocytes. To date, only about 35 primary and about 30 metastatic malignant melanomas of the bladder have been reported. Our objective is to report a rare case of secondary tumor of urinary bladder. Case outline. A 57-year-old man presented to the Urologic Clinic due to lower urinary tract symptoms. The urologist indicated transurethral resection (TUR). His medical history was significant for cutaneous malignant melanoma resected 3 years prior, which were localized at scapular region on the left side. Microscopic examination of the TUR specimen showed several fragments of ureter mucosa with presence of tumor and focally with normal urothel. Tumor cells were markedly atypical and polygonal in a solid pattern. The nuclei were large with variation in size and prominent eosinophilic nucleoli. Also, there were present areas with abundant brown pigment. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumor cells showed positivity for Melan A and HMB45 and negativity for GATA3. Molecular analysis showed that BRAF was mutated. Conclusion. The incidence of malignant melanoma is high and increasing, but the urinary bladder is a rare location of metastasis. However, both primary and metastatic melanomas can occur in the bladder, so the urologist and the pathologist have to consider it when it is the primary site of onset, or when it represents the first symptomatic metastasis.

Published: December 2022

Introduction/Objective. The objective was to explore whether there is a difference in headache manifestation and level of its intensity in patients with functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome. Methods. We assessed a cohort of 420 participants out of which 300 satisfied the recruiting criterion of the presence of irritable bowel syndrome (148) or functional dyspepsia (152). Diagnoses of irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia were made according to Rome IV criteria. Intensity of headaches was estimated in irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia participants using visual analog scale. All the patients underwent subsequent testing by Hamilton?s Depression Inventory and anxiety scale. Results. Our results showed that males with headaches are more susceptible to functional dyspepsia, statistical significance in the group of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with high scores on the visual analog scales, in relation to Hamilton?s anxiety scores in the group of patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Gender and visual analogue scale scores were determinants to show whether the patient falls within the group of functional dyspepsia or irritable bowel syndrome. Scores of visual analogue scale where the patient felt the best was statistically borderline (p = 0.061) and its higher values pinpointed which of those patients fall into irritable bowel syndrome group. Conclusion. Gender and level of headache intensity as a extraintestinal manifestation showed to be the main variables to make a difference between patients with functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome where irritable bowel syndrome had higher scores and greater dominance in differential diagnosis if the headache was determining variable.

Published: December 2022

Introduction/Objective. Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with increased fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. The study objective was to investigate the correlation of maternal blood biochemical markers routinely determined in the first and second trimester screening and ultrasound fetal surveillance parameters in the prediction of fetal growth and condition in singleton pregnancies. Methods. In the first trimester we measured serum levels of beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (?HCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A). In the second trimester we measured values of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), alpha fetoprotein (AFP), unconjugated estriol (E3) and inhibin A, also examined ultrasonographic biometric fetal parameters, amniotic fluid index (AFI) and Doppler resistance indexes. FGR was defined as ultrasonographically determined fetal weight and growth parameters below the 10th percentile for the gestational age. Obtained biochemical and ultrasonographic parameters were correlated. Results. Study included 104 singleton pregnancies. ?HCG in the first trimester correlated negatively with fetal growth in the second and third trimester, and the second trimester AFI. Increased PAPP-A correlated positively with elevated resistance index in medial cerebral artery, lower biophysical profile scores, and intermediate type of non-stress test. Lower values of E3 were associated with FGR. Elevated serum AFP levels were linked to oligoamnion in the third trimester. There was no correlation of inhibin A levels with fetal condition. Conclusion. First and second trimester biochemical markers of pregnancy (?HCG, PAPP-A, HCG, AFP and E3) in combination with ultrasonographic biophysical parameters of fetus have predictive value for fetal growth and development.
Monogenic diabetes: recent updates on diagnosis and precision treatment: A narrative review
Authors: Jang Kyung Mi
Published: December 2022

Monogenic diabetes is commonly caused by single-gene mutations. This disease ranges from 1% to 5% in all cases of diabetes and is less affected by behavior and environment. Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) and maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) account for a major proportion of monogenic diabetes, while syndromic diabetes constitutes a smaller proportion. Diagnosis of monogenic diabetes has improved from being based on clinical phenotypes to molecular genetics, with significant advancement of genome sequencing skills. Precise medication for monogenic diabetes is based on genetic testing; therefore, an accurate diagnosis is essential. Due to the basic clinical criteria (diagnosed < 6 months of age), genetic testing and precision treatment for NDM are fast and uncomplicated. The MODY probability calculator was developed; however, it remains challenging to distinguish MODY from type 1 and 2 diabetes due to the lack of a single diagnostic criteria and genetic testing. Additionally, the high cost and complicated interpretation of these genetic test results add to these challenges. This review will discuss the distinct etiology and subgroups that contribute to predicting and treating clinical phenotypes associated with monogenic diabetes. Furthermore, we will review the recent Korean studies and suggest methods of prioritizing patient screening for genetic testing.
A new era of genetic diagnosis for short stature children: A review
Authors: Kim Yoo-Mi
Published: December 2022

Children with short stature are often presented to pediatric endocrinologists. Short stature is defined as the height that is more than two standard deviations below the corresponding mean height for a specific age and sex in a reference population. Endocrine dysfunctions, including growth hormone deficiency/insensitivity, hypothyroidism, cortisol excess, precocious puberty, chronic disease (renal disease, diabetes mellitus, or inflammatory disease), and genetic disorders, should be assessed in patients presenting with short stature. In addition to medical history, physical examination, endocrine study, skeletal survey, and genetic testing are important for identifying the cause of short stature. Based on the next-generation sequencing analysis in patients with short stature, different genes that are unrelated to syndromic or non-syndromic short stature were identified. In particular, the genetic causes of short stature disrupting the growth plates and the pituitary-insulin-like growth factor axis have expanded. In recent years, the molecular level of chondrogenesis in the growth plates, including paracrine signals, extracellular matrix, and fundamental intracellular signals, has been reported. Moreover, new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of short stature are emerging. This article aimed to review the genetic causes of primary growth impairment in idiopathic short stature conditions.

Published: December 2022

Aim: Patients infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) are at a higher risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite the recent advancement of antiviral therapy, many patients still cannot respond to existing therapies. Hence, to detect the changes in liver function earlier, non-invasive methods are needed. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in essential biological process as well as human cancer. LncRNAs may be used as biomarkers in human diseases. Thus, in this study, we purposed to analyze the expression levels of lncRNAs (HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), maternally expressed 3 (MEG-3), highly upregulated in liver cancer (HULC)) in patients with hepatitis B virus and healthy volunteers.

Methods: We selected three lncRNAs as candidate lncRNAs based on their association with liver disease. Whole blood samples were collected from 40 patients with HBV and 48 healthy volunteers. The expression levels of all the samples were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Statistical analysis was implemented using GraphPad Prism software. A p-value lower than 0.05 was statistically meaningful.

Results: The expression levels of HOTAIR and HULC were remarkably upregulated in the plasma of the patients with HBV compared with healthy control (p<0.05). In contrast, no significant difference in MEG-3 expression levels was observed between groups.

Conclusion: Our findings showed that the expression of HOTAIR and HULC in plasma might be new promising diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers for HBV.

Aim: The use of the right to die in the center of the individual's own decision is called euthanasia. This decision, was evaluated from legal, religious, and medical perspectives. In different countries applied euthanasia, which can be performed actively or passively. In our study, we planned to investigate the perspectives of healthcare professionals working in the emergency department about euthanasia and their thoughts on diseases that can be applied to euthanasia.

Material and methods: A survey was conducted from June to October 2022 on non-physician health workers working in the Emergency department. A questionnaire including demographic data, professional knowledge, and Attitude Scale towards Euthanasia, Death, and the Terminally Patient was administered to the healthcare professionals who agreed to participate in the study. The obtained data were analyzed.

Results: In the study, the feedback of 60 participants, 37 of whom were women, was evaluated. The mean age of the entrants was found to be 39.07±10.11 years. 60% of the participants had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in the past year. 70% of the participants stated that they could be euthanized for coma, 38.33% for severe disability, and 36.67% for severe and incurable neurological diseases.

Conclusion: In the process of euthanasia, which does not have a legal infrastructure in our country, different perspectives are seen from different departments of health services.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in opportunistic infections such as mucormycosis, which is of some concern given the fairly rapid spread. The development of immunosuppression associated with COVID-19, coupled with the presence of comorbidities that exacerbate the progression of the disease and in some cases lead to a fatal outcome, plays an important role in this.
 Case presentation: We have examined a real case of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis in comparison with earlier published contemporary studies on epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and risk factors. Autopsy materials of nasal mucosa, eye socket, brain of a patient with COVID-19 associated with diabetes mellitus have been subjected to a histological study.
 Conclusion: The presented case demonstrates a unique pathomorphological pattern of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis, first registered in Kazakhstan and of great interest in the world practice.
VALUES AND MEANINGS THAT THE INTERIOR OF A SCHOOL CONVEYS TO A STUDENT
Authors: Anastasiya Anatolyevna Azbel, , Leonid Sergeyevich Ilyushin, , Evgenija Sergeevna Samoylova,
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the elements of visual communication presented in the interiors of schools. The lack of textual solutions that meet the emotional and value-based requirements of modern students in the visual space of the school is investigated. Texts in the educational space of the school are a flexible and multifunctional tool that can be used not only to increase the school’s attractiveness but also to create an educational dialog with students and their families. Texts can promote the rules of interaction between people and society, the value of ecological behavior, the effective use of resources, respect for others, and a subjective position in educational activities. Materials and Methods. Photographs and video recordings of the visual environment of modern Russian schools served as material for study. The data was collected not only in classrooms but also in all common spaces of the school – corridors, gymnasiums, canteens, museums, libraries, staircases, and entrance areas. In some cases, the object of analysis included images and texts conveying a specific meaning. Qualitative and quantitative analysis are the main methods used in studying text solutions in educational institutions. The article proposes a classification of visual solutions used in schools (8 types of texts) and describes the group interview method as a research tool for visual solutions in schools. Fixation and attribution of school texts were conducted in interaction with adolescent students. Results and Discussion. The study reveals the content and stylistics of interior elements in modern Russian schools. The article justifies the use of School Texts to develop students’ Flexible Skills. The modern visual environment of Russian schools is largely focused on the preservation of the traditional school system. It conveys a formalized idea of school, in which learning is the main focus rather than other aspects of students’ lives and personal development. Conclusion. In order to develop and implement these solutions, it is useful to combine the efforts of professionals from the fields of design, pedagogy, ergonomic psychology, philology, and linguistics and to listen to the ideas and desires of the main subjects in the educational process – the students themselves. The study results show a lack of professional solutions in the design of modern schools. The article suggests ways to overcome these gaps through a collaborative approach to the design of the visual environment of educational institutions.
CROSS-CULTURAL RESEARCH AS A METHODOLOGICAL RESOURCE OF MODERN LINGUODIDACTICS
Authors: Xinghua Wang, , Lingxia Meng, , Xiuping Li, , Anna Vladimirovna Kuryanovich,
Published: December 2022

Cross-cultural linguodidactics is considered a modern methodological tool that allows learning a foreign language not only in the context of immersion in the culture of the people – the native speaker of that language, but also to take into account the effects resulting from the interactive exchange of linguocultural information between all parties of multicultural communication. Based on the above positions, most linguistic facts acquire the status of units with a linguocultural and linguodidactic resource. Moreover, the acquisition and subsequent mastery of these foreign language units contribute to the formation of the secondary linguistic personality fragment of the worldview, which, in turn, allows for building and improving the competence base of an international student in the field of intercultural and multilingual interaction. Material and Methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the material contained in lexicographic sources to investigate the didactic resources of lexical borrowings – Russianisms and Chineseisms. The main method is a comprehensive cross-cultural analysis combining a number of methodological procedures: Observation, etymological, componential and lexical-semantic analysis, associative linguistic experiment, elements of linguoculturological, linguo-conceptual and discursive analysis. Results and Discussion. The cross-cultural study was conducted in several steps. First, based on the analysis of available lexicographic information, the presence of borrowed units belonging to various thematic groups (socio-political, scientific, and technical vocabulary, words denoting natural and geographical objects, realities of national life, economy, historical and cultural phenomena) was established in Russian and Chinese as actively contacting recipient languages. Second, it was found that Russianisms quantitatively predominate and most of the borrowings are internationalisms. Third, an association experiment conducted in groups of Russian and Chinese speakers was used to determine similarities and differences in the interpretation of borrowings. The results of the comparative analysis are mainly determined by the factors of the informant’s belonging to a certain linguistic culture and the level of foreign language proficiency. Finally, recommendations are formulated on how crosscultural analysis can be used for linguodidactic purposes. Conclusion. The didactic tool of cross-cultural analysis makes it possible to learn a foreign language thoroughly and comprehensively and to use it effectively as a means of intercultural communication. At the same time, the borrowed lexical units serve as valuable empirical material for the implementation of the methodological guidelines of a cross-cultural orientation.

Contribution of the Umayyad Dynasty to the Development of Islamic Civilization (661-750 AD)
Authors: Zein Nashrurrahman
Published: December 2022

The Umayyah dynasty was a classical Islamic era government which was often seen as weak when compared to the Khulafaurrasyidin and Abbasid dynasty.  This is partly due to the negative image that has developed among historians, especially as a result of the political developments that occurred at that time.  Three things were seen as "sins" of the Umayyad dynasty, namely changing the state system (Daulah Islam) from the previous "democracy" (Syuro) to a monarchy system, the caliphs focused more on the conquest process so that they neglected the fostering of civilization, and the dominance of the Arabs in government  .  Therefore, this paper reviews the role and contribution of the Umayyad dynasty in the process of Islamic development.  This paper uses a historical method consisting of heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, and uses a political approach to focus its analysis.  From the results of the studies that have been carried out, several important points were found related to the strategic role of the Umayyad dynasty in history, namely (1) political stabilization, (2) regional expansion, (3) infrastructure development, and (4) Islamic preaching.  These four things are among the reasons for the advancement of the golden age (Golden Age) in the era of the Abbas dynasty. Keywords: Development, Civilization, Umayyad Dynasty.

Published: December 2022

After Indonesian independence in 1945, NU began to be actively involved in practical politics. Its practical political role is channeled through the Masjumi Party, the NU Party, and PPP. Within these three political forums, NU experienced various dynamics which made NU finally decide to withdraw from practical politics. Apart from that, there was also influence from the Old Order and New Order governments which also triggered and encouraged the process of his withdrawal. All of this is part of the social process of the discourse of Khittah NU which emerged from 1959 until it was determined to be the decision of the 1984 Situbondo Muktamar. How was the development of the discourse on the Basic Strategies of NU 1959-1984? Why was the Khittah NU determined as the decision of the 1984 Situbondo Congress? Furthermore, as a study of the past, this study uses historical research methods which have 5 stages in the form of topic selection, source gathering, verification, interpretation, and writing. In addition, this study uses a sociological approach to capture the social dimension of every phenomenon found and uses social process theory to carry out analysis and synthesis. To provide a corridor in writing, the central circle model is used because it is considered relevant to research. The conclusion of this study shows that NU experiences all forms of social processes. Cooperation, competition, conflict and conflict, as well as accommodation have been experienced by NU as a social reality that must be faced together with various other groups. In its relationship with one party, NU does not only cooperate, sometimes NU has to compete and even fight with the group where various decisions are taken by bearing some risks while continuing to try to achieve wider benefits.

Authors: Ulyati Azizah Anita , Safwan Mabrur M
Published: December 2022

Artikel ini membahasa terkait term makar dalam Al-Qur’an dengan analisis kebahsaan yaitu pendekatan semantic Toshihiko Izutsu. Pemahaman terhadap makar pada saat ini hanya menitik beratkan pada konotasi negative dan hanya terjadi di dunia politik karena kekuasaan, namun pada hakikatnya makar sering terjadi karena rasa dengki dan siapa saja dapat melakukan makar. Makar dalam Al-Qur’an tidak hanya bersifat negative, hal ini diperkuat dengan adanya Tuhan sebagai pelaku makar. Maka, peneliti mencoba mengungkap pemahaman terhadap makar yang terkandung dalam Al-Qur’an dengan melakukan kajian teoritis dan kajian historis terhadap term makar. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti membuktikan bahwa makar merupakan perbuatan tipu daya muslihat, makar dalam Al-Qur’an tidak hanya berkonotasi negatif, namun juga postif dengan pengecualian Tuhan sebagai pelaku makar untuk membuktikan kekuasaan Nya. Penelitian ini juga membuktikan bahwa pelaku makar tidak hanya dilakukan di dunia politik, namun juga di masyarakat sekitar. Bentuk makar dalam Al-Qur’an di antaranya Al Kinayah, Al Bghyu, Al Kaid, Al Mihal, Al Khida’, Al ‘Itimar, Al Dakhl yang memiliki kemiripan makna, namun karakter yang berbeda, seperti term Al Mihal yang hanya boleh dinisbahkan kepada Allah yang memiliki kekuatan, daya upaya merencanakan tipu daya dengan keahlian unggul. Pembuktian Selanjunya yaitu, makar dalam Al-Qur’an memiliki konteks yang berbeda, di antaranya sebagai adzab, hukuman, pertolongan, perlindungan, pembunuhan, peperangan, penipuan, dan ingkar terhadap ayat-ayat Allah.  Maka, konsep pada penelitian ini adalah makar merupakan perbuatan yang harus dihindari karena dapat merusak keharmonisan, namun makar setiap makar yang dilakukan oleh Tuhan akan selalu bersifat baik untuk makhluk Nya.
