ISLAM AND TERRORISM
Authors: Fidow Abdikadir , Mwakimako Hassan , Awadh Ali
Published: July 2024

Purpose: The paper elucidates that the ideology and actions of terrorists is opposite of what Koran (final testament and the highest authentic source of Islamic law) and Sunnah (traditions of the final messenger Mohammed PBUH) communicated.
Methodology: The author sourced and quoted Koran and the authentic Hadith to indicate that suicide and indiscriminate killing of innocent and non-combatants as well as destruction of properties is prohibited in Islam. 
Findings: The article found that there is no relationship between Islamic faith and terrorism. Lives, property, and believes of non-Muslims are protected by Islamic Sharia, sometimes far better than Muslims. Terrorists always target and exploit innocent children and the new reverts who have limited knowledge about Islam to propagate their ideology.
Unique contribution to theory, practice, and policy: The article elucidated the opposite of what majority of non-Muslims and some Muslims with limited knowledge about Islam believe. Groups undertaking terrorism actions in the name of Islam are after their own ideology and objectives, and as indicated by the different verses of the Quran and Hadiths by prophet Mohammed, human life is sacred regardless of faith, color, and ethnic group.

Coral Health Thrives in Unprotected Reef Ecosystems in Southeast Nosy Be, Madagascar
Authors: Fuller Jace
Published: July 2024

Madagascar is among the top 15 in the world for largest coral reef area, and it shelters the greatest diversity of corals and macroinvertebrates in the central and western Indian Ocean. Because of their importance to marine ecosystems, research and protection of these threatened areas is imperative. The objective of this study was to assess the nature of hard coral reef ecology in the southeast region of Nosy Be and to better understand the extent of coral bleaching and disease as it compares to past conditions. The method I used to assess live hard coral cover and coral composition was benthic survey methodology. Across 5 different sites around southeast Nosy Be, the presence of health conditions such as bleaching, diseases, algal assembly, and soft coral colonization was collected, and coral cover and taxonomic composition was collected and calculated. Results show that coral cover and biodiversity have increased in certain sites and that counts of health conditions at every site were low compared to each site’s coral cover and to past results found in 2015. These findings suggest that the overall health of corals around Nosy Be has improved and that the unprotected reefs around Lokobe National Park are likely comparable in coral cover than those protected sites. Accounts say that local communities have stopped disturbing their nearby reefs and have begun supporting and enacting regeneration projects at certain reefs on the island, ending anthropogenic disturbance as a health detriment and aiding the reefs in recovery and survival.

Published: July 2024

The majority of experts accept that complementary foods shouldn't be introduced before 4 months of age, despite inconsistent advice regarding the best time to do so. Regardless of recommendations, studies show that 20% to 40% of infants in the US start eating before they are 4 months old. Previous research was non-representative of the country and concentrated on the introduction of solid foods. While baby-led weaning (BLW) is a popular complementary feeding practice, evidence supporting the potential benefits and/or risks for infant growth, development, and health could be considered. The research method is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Thematic analysis was used with the help of the Nvivo 12 Plus software. The findings of this study indicated three major themes regarding the causes of complementary feeding: inadequate knowledge, working mothers, and slow baby growth. The purpose of this study is to provide evidence-based guidelines and increase mothers' knowledge about the benefits of complementary foods in infants aged 0–6 months

Authors: Villamil-Galindo Esteban , Piagentini Andrea
Published: July 2024

We aimed to study the obtention of valuable phenolic compounds from tissue by-products of agro-industrial processing of apple (GS) and strawberry (RF) using green solvents and Soxhlet extraction methodology. The effects of solvent type [water (W); 80% ethanol, (EtOH)] and extraction ratio (1:10, 1:20, 1:30, and 1:40 p/v) were determined on total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity (DPPH), and the profile of phenolic compounds of the GS and RF extracts. The solvent type and the extraction ratio significantly affected TPC and DPPH of GS and RF extracts. Extraction with EtOH and 1:40 ratio produced the highest yields, obtaining an RF extract with 15.8 g GAE/Kg (TPC) and 19 mmol TE/Kg (DPPH). The tetra-galloyl glucose isomer and agrimoniin (0.8-0.4 g/Kg) were the main RF phenolic compounds of the eight identified. GS extract, obtained with EtOH and 1:40 ratio, had 11.9 g GAE/Kg (TPC) and 20.5 mmol TE/Kg (DPPH), having quercetin -3-o-glucuronide (0.43 g/Kg) the highest concentration among the eight phenolic compounds identified. The results highlight the potential of green solvents to obtain valuable compounds from low-cost raw materials, like the high-antioxidant capacity phenolic compound extracts obtained herein.
Highlights:

Valuable bioactive compounds can be extracted from strawberry and apple agro-industrial waste.
Extraction parameters affected phenolic compound profile and antioxidant capacity.
Apple and strawberry by-products are low-cost sources of hydrolysable tannins and flavonols.
Green solvents used for biowaste valorisation can help in circular economy transformation.

Published: July 2024

Bu araştırma, öğrencilerin aile içinde konuştukları cinsel konuları ve cinsellikten kaçınma durumlarını cinsiyete göre incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Tanımlayıcı türde olan çalışma bir üniversitenin 2021-2022 öğretim yılında eğitim gören 272 hemşirelik bölümü öğrencisi ile yapılmıştır. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Cinsellikten Kaçınma Karar Dengesi Ölçeği, Cinsellikten Kaçınma Öz yeterlilik Ölçeği ve Aile içinde Ağırlıklı Olarak Konuşulan Cinsel Konular Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Kadın öğrenciler anneleri (%86.2) ve babaları (%15.2) ile çoğunlukla menstruasyon hakkında konuşmaktadır. Erkekler anneleri ile en fazla kürtaj (%13.1) babaları ile cinsel ilişki (%15.5) ile ilgili konuşmaktadır. Kadınların Cinsellikten Kaçınma Öz yeterlilik Ölçeği puanları (25.21±3.91) erkeklerinkinden (21.07±5.32) fazladır (p<0.05). Kadınların Cinsellikten Kaçınma Karar Dengesi Ölçeği dışsal yarar algısı puanı (15.14±3.34) erkeklerden (13.08±3.43) yüksek iken (p<0.05) erkeklerin zarar algısı puanı (17.86±5.60) kadınlarınkinden (16.09±5.18) fazladır (p<0.05). Kadınların Aile içinde Ağırlıklı Olarak Konuşulan Cinsel Konular Ölçeği anne ile iletişim puanları (12.95±9.53) erkeklerden (6.09±5.75) fazladır (p<0.001). Baba ile iletişim puanları ise benzerdir (p>0.05). Erkek öğrencilerde anne ile cinsel konularda iletişim ile içsel ve dışsal yarar algısı arasında kadınlarda ise zarar algısı arasında pozitif yönlü ilişki tespit edilirken (p<0.05), baba ile iletişim arasında anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenmemiştir (p>0.05). Öğrencilerin cinsellik ile ilgili konuşmayı tercih ettiği ebeveyni çoğunlukla anneleridir. Bu durumun öğrencilerin cinsel kaçınmaları üzerinde olumlu etkisi olabilir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin baba ile iletişimin artırılması önerilir.

Bu sistematik derleme gebelikte eş şiddetinin gebelik ve perinatal sonuçlara etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct ve Cochrane veri tabanları kullanılarak literatür taraması yapılmış ve literatür taramasında “eş şiddeti”, “intimate partner violence”, “gebelik”, “pregnancy”, “perinatal sonuçlar” ve “perinatal outcomes” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Dâhil edilme kriterlerine göre 2015-2020 yılları arasında yapılan, gebelikte eş şiddetinin gebelik ve perinatal sonuçlara etkisinin incelendiği, araştırma makalesi ve yayın dili Türkçe ve İngilizce olan, tam metne ulaşılabilen 15 çalışma analize alınmıştır. Gebelikte eş şiddetinin, düşük kilo alımı, erken membran rüptürü, düşük tehditi, abortus, gebelik komplikasyonları, doğum öncesi bakımın yetersiz kullanımı, anemi, antepartum kanama, düşük demir ve folik asit kullanımı, prenatal depresyon, erken doğum, düşük doğum ağırlığı, prematürite, ölü doğum ve olumsuz perinatal sonuçlar ile ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Gebelikte eş şiddetinin hem anne hem de bebek sağlığı üzerinde olumsuz sonuçlara neden olduğu görülmektedir. Bu olumsuz sonuçların önlenmesi için kadınların antenatal izlemlerde şiddet yönünden sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: As políticas públicas de saúde representam um marco nacional a partir da criação do Sistema Único de Saúde. A humanização do atendimento em todos os ciclos de vida, incluindo a assistência pré-natal e do parto é um dos pontos centrais do SUS. Objetivo Geral: analisar as políticas públicas do parto humanizado e a importância do profissional enfermeiro frente a esta política. Metodologia: estudo epidemiológico de cunho bibliográfico, qualitativo-exploratório, realizado a partir de pesquisas de bases de dados oficiais. Resultados e Discussão: Dos 26 documentos analisados, houve um consenso que a política nacional do parto humanizado é estruturalmente fundamental na garantia dos direitos da mãe e da criança, e que o profissional enfermeiro (a) é parte fundamental na garantia de uma assistência holística de qualidade, com foco técnico, humano e de respeito a dignidade humana. Destes 26 documentos, 21 foram artigos que foram contundentes em suas percepções da relevância do profissional de enfermagem no parto humanizado.

Introdução: A Síndrome de Burnout é um distúrbio emocional resultante de situações de trabalho desgastante. Segundo estudos, está cada vez mais incidente no mundo atual, principalmente em mulheres. Estudar sua epidemiologia e suas variáveis servem como munição para sua prevenção e enfrentamento. Objetivo: Determinar o perfil epidemiológico da síndrome de burnout em mulheres brasileiras nos últimos anos. Metodologia: Estudo ecológico temporal dos dados obtidos na categoria de Doenças e Agravos de Notificação do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN/DATASUS), no período de janeiro/2018 a janeiro/2022 no Brasil. Foram analisados as variáveis de sexo, faixa etária e comunicado de acidente de trabalho (CAT). Resultados: Foram identificados 256 casos de atendimentos ambulatoriais para síndrome de burnout nos últimos 5 anos. Apenas 124 casos receberam o comunicado de acidente de trabalho (CAT), sendo a faixa etária de 35 a 49 anos a que apresenta maior porcentagem de 70,97% seguida por outro grupo etário de 20 a 34 anos (29,03%). O estado de São Paulo é o que apresenta maior incidência, seguido pela Bahia e Rio de Janeiro. Conclusão: Infere-se que  São Paulo lidera a região Sudeste de casos notificados com o CAT, enquanto que Minas Gerais possui a maior taxa dentre os estados que não realizaram o preenchimento do CAT, o que não gera respaldo jurídico às pessoas acometidas por essa Síndrome. Assim, fica evidente a necessidade de atenção integral a esses estados e as mulheres, essencialmente da faixa etária mais acometida
