Published: June 2024

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive, and eventually fatal complication of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) that affects the prognosis, quality of life, and mortality rate. Non-specific manifestations of PAH can result in delayed diagnosis and therefore in poorer outcomes. Objectives: We aim to study the prevalence and epidemiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension in SSc, and the impact of PAH on SSc hospitalizations in the United States population. Methods: We utilized the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2016-2019 to obtain adult hospitalizations with the primary/secondary diagnosis of SSc and coexistent PAH (SSc-PAH). Epidemiological variables, mortality rates, and secondary outcomes were studied including pulmonary embolism, atrial flutter, atrial and ventricular fibrillation, pneumonia, sepsis, cardiac arrest and cardiac & renal failure, and ventilator requirement. Healthcare burden was estimated from total hospital charges (THC) and length of stay (LOS). Statistical analysis was performed on STATA 16.1, using linear and logistic regression analyses. Results: Out of 126,685 adult systemic sclerosis hospitalizations, 16.89% had PAH (SSc-PAH). The SSc-PAH group had significantly more females (85.4 % vs. 83.8%) and higher mean age (64.85±13.29 vs. 62.56±14.51). More African Americans were in this group than in the control group (19.5% vs. 14.6, p-value<0.001) while Whites (61.3% vs. 65.6%, p<0.001) and Asians (18.0 % vs. 2.8%, p<0.001) were less common. Charlson comorbidity index was higher for the SSc-PAH population (3.42 vs. 2.94, p-value<0.001). SSc-PAH group had a higher adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for mortality (aOR: 1.39, p<0.001), increased LOS (6.64 vs. 6.0 days, p<0.001) increased THC ($83,813 vs. $71,016, p <0.001). For the SSc-PAH group, there were also significantly higher odds of cardiac failure (aOR 3.13), ventilator requirement (aOR 2.15), cardiac arrest (aOR 1.39), kidney failure (aOR 1.63), pulmonary embolism (aOR 1.84), atrial flutter (aOR 1.86) atrial fibrillation (aOR1.56) and pneumonia (aOR 1.22). No significant difference in ventricular fibrillation, sepsis, or respiratory failure was noted. Conclusion: Pulmonary arterial hypertension in SSc is associated with worse outcomes in terms of mortality and morbidity, and higher healthcare burden compared to SSc without PAH. Also, PAH disproportionately affects White, African American & Asian populations. There remains a pressing need to continue efforts for early diagnosis and management of PAH in SSc patients.

Explanation of Naturalism and Its Role in the Mindset of Contemporary Architecture
Authors: Aliyari Mahdi
Published: June 2024

Naturalism is a philosophical and artistic movement that places greater emphasis on the relationship between humans and nature. This movement believes that humans should live in harmony with nature and use natural resources in a sustainable and responsible manner. Nature has always been one of the most important sources of inspiration for humans throughout history; from the earliest artistic works left by humans on cave walls to the present day, it has always been present. Aristotle, an ancient philosopher, was one of the first to speak about nature as a great source of inspiration. Undoubtedly, some of the best works of art, such as paintings and classical music pieces, have been created through this approach. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the concept of naturalism in architecture and how the tendency towards nature has influenced contemporary architecture in Iran. Accordingly, we raise the question of how naturalism has impacted contemporary architectural works in Iran. To address this question, specific examples of contemporary architectural works from different time periods where the theme of naturalism has been discussed in critiques and descriptions were selected. The study investigates how inspiration from nature and the mutual influence between architecture and nature have been analyzed descriptively and analytically. The results of this research indicate that the use of natural materials and emulation of natural forms have had the greatest impact on the inclination towards nature in contemporary architecture.

Authors: Bozkurt Cansu
Published: June 2024

Kuraklık belirli bir zaman periyodunda yağış eksikliği nedeniyle yetersiz nem durumunu ifade etmektedir. Zamansal ve alansal kuraklık özelliklerinin belirlenmesinde farklı kuraklık indisleri uygulanmaktadır. Kuraklık indisinin belirlenmesi ve değişimlerin izlenmesi akarsu akışı, göl ve rezervuar seviyeleri kar örtüsü, toprak nemi ve yeraltı suları gibi kullanılabilir su kaynaklarının planlaması ve yönetimi, çevresel, ekolojik ve ekonomik sistemlere yönelik sorunların çözümü açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde yer alan 17046 no’lu Ardahan meteoroloji istasyonunda 1980-2022 hidrolojik yılları arasında kaydedilen aylık yağış ve aylık ortalama sıcaklık verileri kullanılarak Standart Yağış İndisi (SPI) ve Standartlaştırılmış Yağış Evapotranspirasyon İndisi (SPEI) analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. 1, 3, 4, 6, 9 ve 12 ay gibi farklı zaman periyotları için kuraklık değerlendirmesi yapılmış ve indislerin kuraklık analizi üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Buna göre SPI indisinin sadece yağış verilerinin elde edildiği durumlarda daha pratik biçimde hesaplanmasından dolayı avantaj taşıdığı ancak uzun zaman periyotları için daha kararlı olduğu, SPEI yönteminin ise tüm zaman periyotları için kuraklığı etkili bir şekilde değerlendirebildiği görülmüştür. Analiz sonuçları Ardahan ilinde yağışın azalması ve sıcaklığın artmasına bağlı olarak özellikle son 6 yıl içerisinde kuraklığın artış eğiliminde olduğunu göstermektedir.

Published: June 2024

Revolusi sains modern, yang oleh Thomas Kuhn disebabkan oleh pergeseran paradigma sains, membawa perubahan besar bagi perkembangan teknologi, khususnya pada abad 20. Di samping sains modern membawa banyak manfaat bagi manusia, ternyata juga membawa efek samping luar biasa, di antaranya kerusakan alam terus-menerus dan bencana kemanusiaan, sebagaimana dinyatakan pula oleh Naquib Al-Attas. Tantangan ilmu yang dibawa kebudayaan Barat mengakibatkan sains modern yang berkembang sarat dengan pandangan alam Barat terhadap realitas dan kebenaran. Salah satu unsur peradaban Barat adalah tragedi yang menunjukkan pencarian kebenaran serta hakikat dan tujuan hidup tanpa akhir, sehingga ia senantiasa dalam pencarian, namun tak pernah mencapai apa yang dicari. Cara pandang demikian turut memengaruhi perkembangan sains modern. Tulisan ini berupaya mengangkat secara eksplisit efek samping dari sains modern, serta pandangan Naquib Al-Attas terhadap sains modern dari sisi aksiologinya. Metode yang digunakan adalah pengkajian literatur mendalam. Dari tulisan ini dapat dinyatakan secara pasti bahwa khazanah keilmuan Islam telah memberikan pondasi bagi perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan, khususnya sains. Hal ini terbukti dalam sejarah peradaban Islam bagaimana para ulama dan ilmuwan muslim memberikan rambu yang jelas dalam perkembangan ilmu. Salah satu aspek penting yang perlu diperhatikan adalah maqashid syari’ah bagi perkembangan sains. Cara pandang terhadap alam sebagai objek dan manusia sebagai subjek harus mengacu kepada cara pandang Islam dalam memandang realitas dan kebenaran. Di samping itu, paradigma perkembangan dan kemajuan sains modern harus mengacu pada paradigma yang berlandaskan worldview Islam yang menegaskan bahwa perkembangan dan kemajuan perlu tertuju pada satu hal yang tetap, yaitu tujuan dan makna hidup manusia sebagai khalifah di Bumi. Kerangka berpikir tersebut dapat menjadi acuan bagi komunitas ilmiah agar mampu memerankan peran khalifah di Bumi dengan sebenar-benarnya, sehingga dapat mencegah kerusakan alam dan bencana manusia lebih lanjut.

Authors: Talukder Md. Ishtiaq Ahmed
Published: June 2024

Islamism in the modern world is clearly portrayed as a notion of religious extremism. Bangladesh on the other hand as a young developing nation finds its root into two different branches of ideology: Bengali cultural and Muslim ideology. The militant groups in Bangladesh have been found active recently specially after 2015 when international media spotted Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and the Islamic State’s (IS) presence in the country. This study, however, aims at understanding the Islamic radicalisation in Bangladesh through the analysis of Islamist political and non-political groups’ functions and propaganda. In this article the ideas of Islamic radicalisation, mutations and role and function of Islamist militant as well as political group have been discussed. The role of Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing in the radicalisation have been discussed. The disputed relationship of Jamaat and the radical extremists as well as ban on their politics have created a complex scenario in Bangladesh. The political polarisation and politicising of counter terrorism effort have weakened the government’s effort to tackle radical organisation. Honest and tolerant political intervention by welcoming different views regarding the solution of the radicalisation problem can help address it effectively.

Despite its associations with femininity, beauty, innocence and new beginnings, the moon also embodies masculinity, fear, sin and connections to endings. This comparative study focuses on the contrasting use of moon symbolism and its implications in relation to two distinct cultural backgrounds; the Arabic culture represented by Mahmoud Darwish, a Palestinian poet who presents the moon as a source of fear in his poem "Afraid of the Moon", and the western culture represented by Frederico Garcia Lorca, a Spanish poet who portrays the moon in "Ballad of the Moon" as a symbol of femininity and sensuality. This study attempts to highlight the influences of their choices in symbolizing the moon and the variations in meaning that come with it through the lens of French comparative literature theory.

As a result, it was found that in addition to (Brinton , 1996) suggested macro-level functions, the discourse marker (Insha'Allah) also carried out additional micro-level functions in discourse at both levels. Prosodically, it was noticed that (pitch, frequency, and duration) led to a change in the pragmatic function of the discourse marker (Insha'Allah). On the other hand, it was revealed that the speaker's gender also played a vital role in the number of usage discourse marker (Insha’Allah).
