Authors: Muhammad Mustapha , Muhammad Isyaku , Bouchane Mouna , Aslam Muhammad , Musa Sani , Ali Rano Sadiya
Published: March 2024

This article introduces a new three-parameter lifetime model with an increasing and bathtub failure rate functions as an extension of the Mustapha type II distribution (MuII). The model can be very useful in statistical studies, reliability, computer sciences and engineering. Various mathematical and statistical properties of the distribution are discussed, such as moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, entropy, order statistic, and extreme value distributions. Moreover, we consider the bivariate extension of the new model. Statistical inferences by the maximum likelihood method are discussed and assess by simulation studies. Applications of the proposed model to two right-skewed data are presented for illustration. The new model provides a better fit than some other existing distribution as measured by some model selection criteria and goodness of fits statistics.

Authors: Karakaya Kadir , Kınacı İsmail , Akdoğan Yunus , Saraçoğlu Buğra , Kuş Coşkun
Published: March 2024

In quality engineering, process capability indexes are used to determine the capability of a process. The well-known of the process capability indexes are Cp, Cpk, Cpm, and Cpmk. These indexes assume the normality of the product lifetime. \citet{maiti2010generalizing} suggested a Cpyk as a generalized process capability index without distributional assumption. In this paper, the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference on the Cpyk are studied under progressive censoring when the underlying distribution is inverse Rayleigh distribution. Furthermore, Bayesian credible and highest posterior density intervals are discussed with the MCMC procedure. Several types of bootsrap confidence intervals are also considered. A Monte Carlo simulation is conducted in terms of the coverage probabilities and mean lengths of the proposed intervals. An illustrative example is presented to close the paper.
The Transnationalism of Democracy and Power Multiplicity in Indonesia: A Critical Perspective
Authors: Wirasenjaya Ade Marup , Santoso Purwo
Published: March 2024

This article explores the concepts of power and democracy within the context of transnationalism, with a specific focus on Indonesia. It traces the foundational ideas of power from classical political thought to contemporary notions, bridging an understanding that reflects the complexity and multiplicity of power in a transnational world. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing power multiplicity as a new way to perceive power, given the current historical structure that has produced various actors, transformed institutions, and deconstructed political arenas from traditional models to contemporary ones. The transnational historical structure not only creates new arenas for power but also shapes new methods of power production. These innovations have profound implications for political life and the current face of democracy in Indonesia, reflecting a transition from old paradigms to modern interpretations. The research offers a critical perspective on how transnational influences interact with domestic structure to redefine democracy and power dynamic in a rapidly globalizing world.

Authors: Dewi Siti Malaiha , Qodarsasi Umi
Published: March 2024

Disaster diplomacy, the strategic use of humanitarian aid and disaster relief to strengthen diplomatic relations, emerged as a crucial element in international politics, particularly in the aftermath of natural disasters. This study delved into the specific case of the 2023 earthquake, focusing on the role of Indonesian non-state actors in fostering diplomatic ties through collaborative governance. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research explored the partnership between the Indonesian government and prominent non-state organizations, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), in executing disaster diplomacy. It revealed that Indonesia’s diplomatic relations with Turkey experienced significant enhancement due to their joint efforts in disaster management and humanitarian aid. The study identified three core elements structuring this collaborative governance: system context, driving force, and collaboration dynamics. It underscored the active involvement of Muhammadiyah and NU, analyzing how their respective disaster management centers – Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC) and Nahdlatul Ulama Disaster Management and Climate Change Institute (LPBINU) – played pivotal roles. Their contribution not only improved the efficiency and volume of humanitarian aid distribution but also expedited the evacuation processes. The findings contribute to understanding the complex dynamics of disaster diplomacy and the influential role of non-state actors in enhancing international relations through collaborative governance in crises.

Authors: Widihastuty Widihastuty , Tobing Maryani Cyccu , Utami Sri , Munar Asritanarni
Published: March 2024

The Myopopone castanea Smith (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is a predator of Oryctes rhinoceros Linn larvae, the main pest on oil palm plantations.  These predatory ants have potential as biological agents because they have similar niches to their prey. This research aimed to explore the presence and potential of M. castanea as bio-agents in oil palm plantations and obtain knowledge about the abiotic environment of Myopopone castanea ant nests. The research was conducted in oil palm plantations owned by PTPN 4 Adolina, PTPN 2 Pagar Merbau, and smallholder oil palm plantations in Binjai, North Sumatra Province.  Sampling was conducted using the purposive sampling method and as many as 10 sample points in each plantation. The results showed that the average temperature and humidity in the ant nests were 29.4 °C and 70.5%, respectively. The number of individual ants in a colony varied greatly in number and developmental stages. The predation potential of Myopopone castanea ants in the field reached 50.3% for five days of exposure in smallholder plantations and 46,9% in Adolina Plantation. This research could be the opportunity to use Myopopone castanea ants as a biological control for larvae Oryctes rhinoceros in oil palm plantations.

Authors: Putri Halida Adistya , Sukma Dewi , Sudarsono Sudarsono , Purwito Agus
Published: March 2024

Soft-rot disease (SRD) in Phalaenopsis, caused Dickeya dadantii, has resulted in significant losses in the orchid sector in Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the inoculation method of Dickeya dadantii and identify the resistance response of individual regenerated plantlets of Phal. amabilis from irradiated protocorm. A detached leaf assay was used to evaluate the inoculation method and resistance response of SRD. Based on the results of this study, Dickeya dadantii bacteria could only infect the leaves through wounding tissue. The density of bacteria that could infect leaf tissue was OD600 = 0.2. All dilution factors tested caused soft rot symptoms in P. amabilis. On the other hand, Vanilla planifolia only showed symptoms at a dilution factor of 10-0. Four accessions of regenerated plantlets from irradiated protocorms were resistant to SRD. They were from irradiation 5 Gy (IP 05 Gy-23, IP 05 Gy-31, and IP 05 Gy-33) and one accession from the control treatment or without irradiation (IP 0 Gy -1). These results showed that 5 Gy irradiation increased plant resistance to SRD in Phalaenopsis. A dose of 5 Gy can potentially produce mutant lines resistant to SRD in Phalaenopsis or other plants, too.
Comparison of non-invasive scores predictive of development of metabolic dysfunction associated liver disease in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus and evaluation of additive effect of smoking in these patients
Authors: Singla Heena
Published: March 2024

Background: Metabolic dysfunction associated liver disease (MASLD) has been found to be at alarming increase in Indian population. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is also increasing which may be attributed to certain lifestyle changes. In the present study, we compared the likelihood of liver fibrosis by measurement of non-invasive scores among Type 2 diabetics and smokers, Type 2 diabetics but non-smokers and healthy controls. Our study will provide useful insights to evaluate the association between Type 2 diabetes, smoking and development of MASLD.
Methods: The study was done at a tertiary care hospital. Participants were divided into 3 groups (each of 40 participants) which included those with type 2 diabetes mellitus and smokers, those with type 2 diabetes mellitus but non-smokers and healthy controls. Parameters included in the database were age, sex, body mass index, history of diabetes, history of hypertension, any medication, tobacco use and alcohol consumption. Venous blood samples were taken in the morning after a 12-h overnight fasting and investigations were done. Results were recorded.
Results: FIB-4 score and AST/ALT ratio was significantly higher in diabetics and smoker patients, in comparison to diabetics but non-smokers and healthy controls.
Conclusions: Smoking and underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus have a synergistic effect on the severity of fibrosis, as compared to nonsmokers with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hence smoking cessation, in addition to glycemic control with regular medication, may be beneficial in reducing the severity of MASLD among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Kumari Chandrakala , Narain N. P.
Published: March 2024

Background: Intestinal tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health challenge, especially in regions with a high TB prevalence. This manifestation, distinct from pulmonary TB, involves the gastrointestinal tract, often leading to intestinal obstruction. The study addresses the insidious nature of the disease, emphasizing the urgency for timely diagnosis and intervention. Recognizing the multifaceted impact of TB on various organs, the study explores the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic complexities of intestinal TB.
Methods: This study was conducted at Nalanda medical college and hospital in Patna, Bihar, India, the retrospective study spans three years focusing on 127 patients with intestinal obstruction due to TB. Inclusion criteria prioritized histopathological confirmation of TB, ensuring cohort accuracy. The study employed preliminary investigations, including hemogram, chest X-ray, abdominal X-ray, ultrasonogram, sputum examination, and Mantoux test and CECT whole abdomen. Clinical presentations were systematically analyzed, guiding tailored management protocols based on the mode of presentation.
Results: Demographically, the study identified TB as the cause in 127 cases, with a balanced gender distribution and a peak incidence in the 21-30 years age group. Presentations varied, predominantly with acute symptoms. Common complaints included abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, and distension. Surgical intervention within 24 hours was crucial in 61.1% of cases. Intraoperatively, findings comprised mesenteric thickening, lymph nodal enlargement, and adhesions. Adhesionolysis was the primary procedure. Postoperative complications, mainly wound infections, were noted but had a limited impact on mortality.
Conclusions: This study reveals TB as a significant contributor to intestinal obstruction, emphasizing challenges in early diagnosis. Adhesionolysis emerges as a key operative procedure, underscoring the need for surgical flexibility. Postoperative complications, while notable, have minimal impact on mortality.

Authors: Putra Arief Fadli , Yulianto Fajar Awalia
Published: March 2024

Urethral calculus is rare in pediatrics, especially with acute urinary retention. The diagnosis of urethral calculus is made by proper history taking, physical examination, and imaging studies. In this case, the diagnosis was made mainly by anamnesis, inspection, and palpation of the calculus in the external urethral meatus. Invasive and less invasive procedures such as open surgery, meatotomy, or laser lithotripsy procedure, can be a management of urethral calculus. In this case, simple extraction was performed without meatotomy or other invasive procedures. A 5-year-old, boy was reported to come to the emergency department because of severe pain in his penis and acute urinary retention.  The patient had a history of dysuria, a habit of delaying urination, and low fluid intake. On physical examination, it was found a distention in the suprapubic area and a green-white solid mass at the external urethral meatus. A 10-millimeter calculus was successfully extracted from the external urethral meatus with simple extraction procedures under local anesthesia. This case report demonstrated a rare case of pediatric acute urinary retention secondary to impacted urethral meatal calculus in an emergency setting of a low-level hospital.  Immediate and proper management was required due to the patient's condition and considering the lack of facilities. The extraction of calculus with minimal urethral damage was the recommendation.

Published: March 2024

Background: Contraceptive use during a woman's reproductive years can help prevent unintended pregnancies, maternal deaths, and other non-reproductive problems. However, there is also a risk of running into various health challenges. The study aimed at finding out if women in the Greater Accra and Ashanti regions of Ghana encounter health issues during and after use of contraceptives was conducted.
Methods: Questionnaires were administered to 600 women out of which 401 responses were carefully gleaned for analysis using SPSS version 25. The questionnaire probed side and adverse effects women encountered in their use of contraceptives as well as the types of contraceptives they preferred.
Results: The study revealed that the use of contraceptives was widely prevalent, especially amongst women aged 21-30 years (61.8%). The preferred types of contraceptives were the oral-progestin only (42.9%) and combined oral contraceptives (31.4%). Spotting or bleeding between periods (menstrual-related) was the highest reported side effect (33.2%), followed by weight gain (metabolic-related), 21.7%. Pearson’s Chi squared test showed an association between the age of respondents and the choice of contraceptive type at p<0.01. Hypertension and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were the highest reported adverse effect (10.2% and 9.2% respectively).
Conclusions: It was concluded that contraceptive use (especially the oral type) may cause discomfort with the side effects reported in women of reproductive age and it may be a contributing factor to other health conditions in susceptible women.

Clinical phase II trial shows that combining osimertinib and afatinib resistance EGFR recurrent mutation in EGFR-mutant lung cancer
Authors: Dahal Tshetiz , Subedi Bonish Raj
Published: March 2024

Treatment options for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations are limited due to resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Osimertinib or afatinib alone, in a preclinical model, created drug-resistant clones with EGFR secondary mutations, but their combination inhibited the emergence of these mutations. In a Phase II trial, we looked into the alternating-dose therapy of osimertinib and afatinib in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Patients with stage IV NSCLC with an activating EGFR mutation who had never received treatment were included. Every eight weeks, osimertinib (80 mg/day) and afatinib (20 mg/day) were given in alternate cycles. Utilising circulating tumour DNA collected both before and after therapy, genomic analysis was carried out. The median progression-free survival among the 50 enrolled patients was 21.3 months. A total of 70.3% of respondents responded. Overall median survival was not attained. 35 plasma samples were acquired after the development of resistance; 5 of these samples displayed an elevated MET gene copy number and 3 displayed a BRAF mutation. However, no secondary EGFR mutation was found. The effectiveness of our approach was comparable to that of osimertinib alone, as had been observed in untreated advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations in the past. The treatment may stop the emergence of EGFR secondary mutations that lead to medication resistance, despite the small sample size. To determine the importance of this treatment, more research is required.

Published: March 2024

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that causes discoloration and irritation whereas Guttate psoriasis often develops suddenly and may start after an infection such as strep throat. In guttate psoriasis small, droplet shaped patches appears on arms, legs, scalp, torso. Most commonly seen in children and adolescents than adults. It was classically triggered by streptococcal infection (pharyngitis or perianal) and is not contagious (it cannot be transferred to others through skin-to-skin contact). Usually guttate psoriasis subsides within few weeks, after that there are several possible outcomes such as you may never develop it again, it may recur intermittently or may develop into chronic plaque psoriasis. It can be mild, moderate or severe. We came across a case of 12 year old male child presenting with complaints of annular plaques with itching since 5 days all over the body. Based on subjective, objective and laboratory investigations the child was diagnosed with Guttate psoriasis. And child was treated with topical steroids, immunosuppressants, antibiotic and anti ketogenic agents respectively and within 4 weeks the child was recovered.

Authors: Kontorovich V. A. , Ershov S. V. , Burshtein L. M.
Published: March 2024

A model of the geological structure was constructed and the oil and gas potential prospects of the Yenisei-Khatanga regional trough were assessed. Construction of seismogeological sections, structural and tectonic maps, structural and tectonic analysis was carried out. It was concluded that the Neocomian clinoform complex, which contains about 90 % of oil, gas and condensate reserves in this region, is of the greatest interest in the study area in terms of searching for large oil accumulations. It should be expected that significant oil reservoirs localized in the Berriasian–Valanginian sand formations will be controlled by complex structural-lithological and lithological non-anticlinal traps.

Published: March 2024

The Siberian ring source of photons (SKIF) is a new fourth-generation synchrotron light source currently under construction in Koltsovo city, Russia. The beam stability of modern synchrotron sources, characterized by low emittance, is sensitive to insignificant levels of ground vibrations. We assessed the seismic noise variation from external sources recorded at the construction site of the SKIF. For the frequency range 1–20 Hz, the transmission coefficients for the vertical and horizontal recording components were 0.38 and 0.725, respectively. In the frequency range 20–100 Hz – 0.12 and 0.06, respectively. Analysis of experimental data shows the effectiveness of suppressing high-amplitude external noise in the frequency range of 2-100 Hz when transmitting vibrations from the ground to the SKIF storage ring basement. The coefficients determined for the basement match well with the design model.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to determine Entrepreneurship Education in an Islamic Perspective using a descriptive qualitative approach and reviewed using the library research method exploring the data to become a complete research result. Entrepreneurship education is a program that includes teaching about what an entrepreneur should do in the face of the fast pace of this world in the field of trade with increasingly fierce competition. The cultivation of entrepreneurial values develops into the world of education intending to form a complete human being. The Islamic perspective on entrepreneurship education is not far from the story of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. He can be a role model in entrepreneurship in an honest, trustworthy, and strong spirit in trading. Entrepreneurship education is important because the advancement of science in technology also greatly affects entrepreneurship in the21st century, where trade in the digital world has advanced rapidly. Hence, it takes an entrepreneur who is proficient in technology to keep up with the times. Therefore, entrepreneurship education is owned by an entrepreneur and must be applied to start from elementary school education to tertiary education to build the younger generation's soul and reduce unemployment in Indonesia while still implementing good Islamic entrepreneurship.

So it can be concluded, based on the analysis of the philosophy of Islamic education physical education conducted at MAS Istiqomah Sri Gunting, the objectives and implementation cannot be said to be sourced from the Quran, hadith, and the opinions of scholars as the source of Islamic educational philosophy.
Women, faith, and authority: Malama Zainab Ja'afar and the navigation of religious authority in Northern Nigeria
Authors: Nasir Muhammad Muhammad , Noor Haula
Published: March 2024

This research examines female religious authority in northern Nigeria, with a specific emphasis on Malama Zainab Ja'afar Mahmood Adam. The research investigates how Malama Zainab negotiates her authority amidst controversies surrounding her public presence as a preacher and Qur'anic exegete within the male dominated Izala movement, a prominent reform movement with widespread influence throughout West Africa and beyond. Employing a qualitative approach, the study delves into Malama Zainab's background, social capital development, and association with Izala, utilizing both secondary sources and indepth interviews with her. The findings highlight Malama Zainab's efforts in bringing women to the forefront within mosque spaces and other gender-segregated settings, fostering their religious participation publicly. While her public activities primarily target female audiences, her preaching and proselytizing reach males through social media platforms, expanding her influence beyond traditional boundaries. Importantly, the findings also shed light on how the historical exclusion of women in socio-religious spaces in northern Nigeria is based on cultural and traditional interpretations rather than explicit religious prohibitions. Hence, the research contributes to the broader understanding of female religious authority, shedding light on the under-recognition of female scholars in comparison to their male counterparts in many Muslim-majority countries.
Islam in education: how marginalizing Islamic curriculum from Egypt's national education has contributed to religious extremism
Authors: Shaker Thanaa
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the impact of marginalizing religious curriculum in the public-school system on the tolerance levels among Egyptian youth. Unlike previous research associating religious instruction with radicalization, this study offers new perspectives on the detrimental effects of marginalizing religious education in fostering tolerance. It argues that a balanced religious education can prevent the radicalization of young individuals by extremist groups. The central question is whether education significantly influences the radicalization process. The argument suggests that the secularization of education has intensified interest in Islam, leading to polarization fueled by radical factions with pre-existing objectives. Using a qualitative methodology, specifically a case study design, the research conducted interviews with 57 participants from the national school background. Findings reveal that marginalizing Islamic curricula has adverse effects on promoting tolerance among youth. The study aims to provide education officials with insights into the negative consequences of marginalizing religious curricula, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach to religious education within the broader educational framework. Recognizing and addressing these consequences can contribute to building a more tolerant and cohesive society

Authors: Thoifah Ianatut , Yusuf Muhammad , Khosim Nanang
Published: March 2024

This research aims to analyze the focus of developing Al-Qur'an learning methods with a learning style approach and the achievements of Al-Qur'an learning methods. The research approach uses a qualitative approach and is of the metasynthesis type. Collecting data to answer the existing problem formulation, researchers analyzed learning method guidebooks totaling 7 trends in Al-Qur'an learning methods, articles from journals, and other supporting books. The results of this research indicate that the focus of the development of trends in Al-Qur'an learning methods in Indonesia is more towards audio and visual learning styles. The achievements of the trend in Al-Qur'an learning methods in Indonesia can be seen from the ability to read the Al-Qur'an in tartil, understand gharib and the basics of recitation; knowing random hijaiyah letters, memorizing the Koran, especially short letters; makhraj, and writing Arabic letters. It can be concluded that each method has similarities in developing methods with an audio and visual learning style approach, while the differences between each method can be seen in the achievement of Al-Qur'an learning indicators, but each method has not shown results.

Authors: Robleto Arana Cristian Alberto
Published: March 2024

Este artículo de investigación se enfoca en el estudio de un aspecto poco tratado en el Derecho societario nicaragüense: La desconvocatoria de la junta general de accionistas en las sociedades anónimas. Aunque esta figura carece de regulación específica en la legislación, existen referencias doctri­narias que indican la posibilidad de suspender o aplazar la junta mediante la desconvocatoria, bajo ciertas circunstancias y responsabilidades por parte de los administradores. Se analiza el tema desde la perspectiva del Dere­cho mercantil, explorando su regulación doctrinal y proponiendo posibles soluciones aplicables al sistema nicaragüense. La relevancia de este estudio radica en la necesidad de una regulación clara y precisa de la desconvocato­ria, que brinde seguridad jurídica a las sociedades y sus accionistas, evitando conflictos legales y promoviendo un entorno favorable para la participación y la gobernanza corporativa en Nicaragua.

La insolvencia inminente en la legislación concursal española
Authors: Campuzano Ana Belén
Published: March 2024

La ley concursal española, junto al presupuesto objetivo del concurso de acreedores, contempla también el del derecho preconcursal y el del pro­cedimiento especial para microempresas. La delimitación de los estados de insolvencia que se vinculan con cada uno de estos procedimientos se diseña con flexibilidad. El acceso al concurso de acreedores requiere insolvencia inminente o actual, sin perjuicio del alcance de la insolvencia cualificada y de la probabilidad de insolvencia en caso de solicitud de nombramiento de experto para recabar ofertas de adquisición de la unidad productiva. El derecho preconcursal dispone de un presupuesto objetivo específico, la probabilidad de insolvencia, pero también es posible actuar por esta vía en situación de insolvencia inminente o actual. El procedimiento especial para microempresas tiene un presupuesto objetivo amplio: insolvencia probable (preconcurso) e insolvencia inminente o insolvencia actual (concurso de acreedores).
