Application of bioinformatics methods in pesticide research and development
Authors: Kazantsev S. A. , Pamirsky I. E.
Published: October 2023

The use of pesticides is accompanied by a number of environmental and agrotechnological problems. Many pesticides do not degrade and stay in the soil for years and have low selectivity. Massive application of pesticides with non-selective nature of action caused a gradual increase of resistance in pests due to persistent inherited changes in their DNA. This affects the efficiency of growing agricultural plants and pollution of the environment and food. Computational biology methods, which are actively developing all over the world, can help to solve this problem. Despite the fact that in Russia bioinformatics methods are used to study plant genes of animals, metagenomes of microorganisms, there are no own databases and specialized computer applications for such research and pesticide modernization. Development of domestic similar bioinformatics tools is also an urgent task. The article highlights the problem of creating new effective and environmentally friendly pesticides. The methods of bioinformatics that can be used in the research and development of pesticides are given. The stages of creating new pesticides by bioinformatics methods (review of databases, modeling of molecules, modeling of the interaction of a pesticide with a target, prediction of biological activity) are considered. A description is given of the methods for optimizing the molecular framework of pesticides, which is a change in the carbon skeleton in order to search for new active compounds and screen out many similar compounds in the chemical space. Foreign web resources used to assess the presence of pesticidal properties in substances, such as toxicity, metabolism and physico-chemical properties, and their subsequent registration as pesticides are given.

The results of approbation of a phytopreparation for prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders in calves are presented. The methodology of preclinical testing of the phytopreparation prototype was in accordance with GOST R 53434-2009 and guidelines for preclinical testing of medicines. Two groups of laboratory animals (mongrel white mice) with 10 rodents in each group aged 2-5 months were formed for preclinical study of the experimental drug according to the principle of analogs. The developed preparation (aqueous extracts of rosehip fruit – surrexit coxis, cherry fruit – cerasis fructus, chamomile flowers – pyrethri flores, amarantus rootstock – amaranthus rhizomatis) was administered to the animals in the experimental group. The dose was 3 ml/day per laboratory animal for 10 days. The feeding ration remained unchanged (grain, vegetables, hay). Positive data on physiological indices (temperature, pulse, respiration, urination, fecal condition, motor activity of animals) were obtained, which corresponded to physiological norms for white mice. The preparation has no toxicity for animal organism (absence of toxic dystrophy in animal organs); radiation level was within the normative value for cesium 137 (440 Bq/kg) and strontium 90 (110 Bq/kg), respectively; Ph was 6.7 units. The phytopreparation is a favorable environment for the gastrointestinal tract of animals and has an antibacterial effect, significantly increases the number of lymphocytes by 23.8%, hematocrit by 8.6%, hemoglobin by 40% (p < 0.01) in the blood of the experimental animals. According to the classification currently adopted by the World Health Organization, the phytopreparation can be attributed to the group of low-toxic substances and according to the degree of toxicity – to the IV class of hazard (substances of low hazard). The drug is recommended for clinical trials on young cattle.

The Problem of the Establishment of a Legitimate Language on the Example of the Introduction of Latin Graphics in the Mongolian People’s Republic during the 1930s
Authors: Bikmaeva K. I.
Published: October 2023

In this article, the adoption of a legitimate language by the Mongolian People’s Republic following the language reform of the 1930s, which involved the switch to the Latin script, is considered. The language policy pursued by the MPR in the early 20th century is investigated from the perspective of the legitimate language theory. By that period, the traditional Mongolian script had become outdated and needed to be reformed. Furthermore, the illiteracy rate among Mongolian people was very high, and the old Mongolian script was difficult to study. Another reason is that the language turned into the main tool for promoting the new cultural and ideological values of the USSR. Thus, the shift of Mongolia to the writing system based on the Latin alphabet was a political phenomenon and played a key role in broadcasting the cultural policy of the new state. In the early years of the MPR, the Latin-based writing solved several problems at once: it promoted literacy among Mongolian people, gave greater publicity to the policy of the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party and the new culture, and became a platform to bring together Mongolia and the USSR. To substantiate the importance of the Latin graphics as the official state script, Pierre Bourdieu’s “Language and Symbolic Power” is analyzed, in which the author discusses the origin of the legitimate language and script, as well as their role in the process of nation building. Here, the documents in both Russian and Mongolian are also examined. The obtained results demonstrate that, despite various difficulties, the Latin script was adopted for a quite short period of time as legitimate in the MPR, which had a great influence on the development of the socialist culture and the Mongolian national identity.
The Population of Laodicea ad Mare in Roman Times: The Structure and Vectors of Development
Authors: Kirillov V. M.
Published: October 2023

This article considers the social structure of Laodicea ad Mare between the second half of the 1st century A.D. and the 4th century A.D., i.e., from the beginning of the Roman rule in Syria to the time before the Islamic conquest of the region. The study relies primarily on data from epigraphic writings (such as tomb inscriptions, dedicatory texts, and signatures), as well as on narrative materials and the corpus of Roman law, which are used as additional sources. The evolution of the family institution and the property relations within Laodicean families is analyzed. A portrait of the free citizens of Laodicea who were engaged in handicrafts, especially in the textile industry, is compiled. The life of the city’s rabble is traced. The status, structure, and financial capabilities of the propertied aristocracy are described. Its impact on public life is discussed. Information is provided about the residence of Roman citizens in Laodicea and their activities and influence on the civic community of the city. The results obtained show that the social processes in Laodicea correspond to the basic trends of urban development in Late Antiquity and that this was the period when the social conflict within the Laodicean community intensified. The findings may be useful for students of history faculties and for researchers interested in the history of the Roman Empire and the Near East in Antiquity.
The Relations of England with France and the Habsburg Empire in the Reign of Mary Tudor (As Assessed by British Historians)
Authors: Mironova S. A.
Published: October 2023

This article is devoted to the foreign policy of England during the reign of Mary Tudor. Based on the views of modern British historians, it considers in particular the relations that established between England and the Habsburg Empire. The results obtained show that England’s foreign policy during that period was obviously defined by the marriage of the queen to Philip of Habsburg, the heir to the Spanish Empire. Traditionally, most historians, regardless of the direction of British historiography to which they belong, have assessed this marriage negatively, as it worsened the relations with France and tightened the domestic religious policy. In recent decades, however, many British historians representing different schools have argued that the union between Mary Tudor and Philip was beneficial to England. They agree that the alliance with the most powerful and richest country in Europe at that time was the only way out for England, which had fallen into a difficult economic situation. The war with France was a good way to divert attention from the religious strife in the country. Since different historical trends and approaches coexist in modern British historiography, many issues related to the study of the foreign policy pursued by Mary Tudor are still debatable and await further research and substantiation.
İPLİĞE BAĞLI HAYALLER: KLASİK TÜRK ŞİİRİNDE RİŞTE
Authors: AYDIN Beytullah , ARI Ramazan
Published: October 2023

Klasik Türk şairleri, anlatmak istediği duygu ve düşünceye uygun kavramı bulabilmek için, tabiri caizse tüm âlemi tarar. Amacına uygun her kavrama, kendi şiir anlayışı içeresinde, beytinde yer verir. Yapılan divan tahlilleri, şairlerin istifade ettiği bu geniş kavramlar dünyasını görünür kılması bakımından mühimdir. Divan tahlillerinde dikkati çeken bir başka durum, şairlerin aynı kavramları kullanmasıdır. Bu da, kavramların “ortak malzeme” olduğunun göstergesidir. Klasik Türk şairlerinin ortak malzemesi içinde günlük hayattan bir nesne olan ip; şekil, işlev, incelik-kalınlık, uzunluk-kısalık, renk gibi çeşitli yönlerden benzetme unsuru olarak şairlerin şiirlerine dâhil ettikleri kavramlardan sadece biridir. İpin karşılığı olarak şiirlerde Farsça; rişte, târ, rismân, çile, pûd, Arapça; habl, silk, tınâb ve Türkçe; ip, argaç, arış kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Müşebbehün bih olarak kullanılan ip hem âşık hem de sevgiliyle ilgili olarak birçok hayalde işlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte iple ilgili hayallerde ipin sosyal, kültürel, dinî alanlardaki çağrışımları ile ipe dair âdet ve inanışlar da yer alır. Sosyo-kültürel hayatın içinde günlük hayattan küçük bir nesne olan ipin hemen her yönüyle şiirlerde işlenmesi, şairlerin bu alandan ne denli istifade ettiğinin göstergesidir. Bu sayede şairler, ip kavramı etrafında bir derinlik ve zenginlik oluşturmuşlardır. Çalışmada, ipe bağlı hayaller, ipin ilişkilendirildiği somut ve soyut kavramlara göre iki üst başlık altında incelenmiştir. Bu çerçevede tespit edilen 38 somut ve 26 soyut kavram için alt başlık açılmak suretiyle ip ortak kavramının bu şiir geleneğindeki kullanımı tüm yönleriyle ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır.

Authors: Saveliev Vladislav , Khazanova Sofya
Published: October 2023

Due to the two graphene layers displacement at a certain angle relative to each other the different types regions of crystallographic (AA- and AB-packages) appears in the structure. At the same time, this structure has a geometric pattern looks like a “moiré” and their energy spectrum has alternation of the energy gap and gapless regions. The spatial period of the energy changing parameters is about ten nanometers order, therefore, the regions can be considered as a superlattice. In addition, at the areas boundaries, the relaxation occurs, which affects the region size and the energy structure in them. In this work, we numerically study the layers disorientation angle influence, the energy gap parameter, and the relaxation effects on the transport haracteristics.

Authors: Pavlishin Kirill , Abgaryan Karine , Zhuravlev Andrey
Published: October 2023

. In this paper, the structural properties of hafnium oxide (HfO2) in its orthorhombic, monoclinic and tetragonal phases are investigated using machine learning potentials (MLP) in combination with the nudged elastic band (NEB) method. HfO2 is a promising material for electronic devices, in particular memristors, due to its high dielectric constant and compatibility with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The paper compares three different MLPs (NNP, SNAP, qSNAP) and selects qSNAP as the most effective model for predicting energies and forces. Using NEB in conjunction with machine-trained potentials, the energy profile and the trajectory of the transition between two stable positions of HfO2 in the orthorhombic phase are calculated, which allows us to get an idea of its stability and wear resistance. The results obtained provide valuable information for the design of electronic components, especially memristors, and can lead to improved performance, reliability and energy efficiency of devices.

Published: October 2023

In this research, we use sentiment analysis to refine the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of the Bukalapak application, a leading online trading platform in Indonesia. We focus our scrutiny on 4,462 reviews related to the UI within a larger dataset of 246,947. Almost a third of these critiques express dissatisfaction, predominantly pointing out issues related to the UI design and its functionality. The critiques underscore the potential of sentiment analysis as a tool to uncover areas of user-centric design that need improvement. To address these issues, it is necessary to incorporate user feedback and sentiment analysis into the design workflow, allowing a more in-depth understanding of user needs and facilitating more effective service enhancements. Embracing a user-centered methodology allows for UI fine-tuning, leading to better functionality and increased user contentment. Our investigation reveals a positive link between design refinements and usability ratings, indicating improved user experience satisfaction. To summarize, this research highlights the essential contribution of user feedback and sentiment analysis to detect and correct UI shortfalls, thus augmenting UX and contributing to the triumph of platforms like Bukalapak within Indonesia's dynamically changing e-commerce environment.
Hyperparameter Optimization of CNN Classifier for Music Genre Classification
Authors: Soekarta Rendra , Aras Suhardi , Ahmad Nur Aswad
Published: October 2023

Playing music through a digital platform that has a large database of songs requires automated classification of music genres, highlighting the need to develop a model for music genre classification that is more efficient and accurate. This study evaluated the hyperparameters in the music genre classification process using CNN in the GTZAN dataset with 30-second duration data optimized using MFCC feature extraction. The model that is formed with a time of 3 (three) seconds classifies music genres in the first 3 seconds of music. This model has a high potential for error because the first 3 seconds of initial music are varied and cannot be used as a benchmark in determining music genres. This study performed hyperparameters on batch size, epoch, and split data set variables with various scenarios. The highest precision result was obtained at 72% with a data split of 85%:15%, 32 batch sizes, and 500 epochs.
Advancing Towards Physiologically Relevant Models of the Brain: Three-Dimensional Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (hiPSC)-Based Cell Culture Systems in Neuroscience
Authors: der Bey Martina von , Ercan-Herbst Ebru
Published: October 2023

One of the biggest challenges in the field of neurological disorders is the limited availability of freshly dissected human brain tissue. Therefore, the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is important to develop human brain-like models to study the interaction of different brain cell types in health and disease. For physiologically relevant disease modeling, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems are of great importance because they provide a more representative in vivo-like micro-environment to the cells. The field of 3D cell culture systems using diverse hiPSC-derived cells is growing and gets steadily advanced. However, to this day, there is no cell culture model available that includes all brain cell types. Here, we review the latest improvements of 3D hiPSC-based cell culture systems in the field of neuroscience. We focus on innovations for the generation of neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia as well as endothelial cells and pericytes.
Child marriage and its impact on health: a study of perceptions and attitudes in Nepal
Authors: Seta Reena
Published: October 2023

Background

In Nepal, child marriage affects approximately 33% of girls prior to the age of 18, and 8% of girls by the age of 15. The practice has various causes, which include a lack of education, poverty and societal norms. Literature indicates that child marriages have a more significant impact on women’s health because of early pregnancies and the consequences of dropping out of school. This study aims to understand the impact of child marriage on health by exploring the perceptions held by women in Nepal. Understanding the opinions of those most affected is imperative to influence and improve policy.

Methods

13 semi-structured interviews occurred in the Kathmandu Valley in May 2019. Participants were selected purposively by the project host who acted as a gatekeeper and further participants were identified via snowballing. The data was analysed thematically.

Results

The perceived causes of child marriage in Nepal were a lack of school level education, poverty, having numerous siblings, a low social status and societal views. The impacts on health include a high incidence of early pregnancy complications, and the effects of dropping out of school. The mental health of young brides was perceived to be affected by pressures to work in the home, being isolated and being too young for marriage. Factors such as awareness, availability, societal pressures and independence affected the health-seeking behaviours of child brides. The participants highlighted that raising awareness, reaching out rurally, and educating and employing women would tackle the problem.

Conclusions

Many of the themes discussed agreed with the existing literature. The effect of dropping out of school and the impact of child marriage on mental health have not yet been explored qualitatively. Factors that affect health-seeking agree with the limited research available, indicating a need to make services more accessible.

Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Effective for Any Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Dimensions?
Authors: Lee Sang Won , Choi Mina , Lee Seung Jae
Published: October 2023

Objective Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has been recently introduced for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Although there are data supporting the efficacy of ACT, only few studies have investigated the effectiveness of ACT against any obsessivecompulsive (OC) symptom dimension or a specific dimension alone.Methods In total, 64 patients with OCD received an 8-session ACT group program. All measures were evaluated before and after treatment. The Dimensional Obsessive-Compulsive Scale was used to assess OCD severity across the four empirically supported symptom dimensions (i.e., contamination, responsibility for harm, unacceptable thoughts, and symmetry). ACT processes were evaluated using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Obsessions and Compulsions (AAQOC), and Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire.Results After an 8-week program, there were significant reductions in all four OC symptom dimensions after ACT. The unacceptable thoughts and contamination domains had medium effect size. The responsibility for harm and symmetry dimensions had small effect size. The unacceptable thoughts dimension was significantly correlated with all ACT process measures. The symmetry dimension was significantly correlated with AAQ-OC and AAQ-II scores while the responsibility for harm dimension was correlated with AAQ-II alone. However, the contamination dimension was not associated with any process measures.Conclusion ACT may be effective for managing all four symptom dimensions with small to moderate effect size. Moreover, depending on the symptom dimension, there may be different relationship patterns between symptom reduction and changes in ACT processes.

Objective This study aimed to explore the mediating effects of cancer-related dysfunctional beliefs regarding sleep and intolerance of uncertainty on the effect of depression, insomnia, and anxiety on fear of progression (FoP).Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with cancer who visited the Sleep Clinic for cancer patients in Asan Medical Center for the first time between December 2021 and March 2022. Data collected included age, sex, types of cancer, staging, current treatment modalities, and history of surgical procedures. In addition, psychological symptoms were rated using the Insomnia Severity Scale (ISI), Patient Health Questionnaire–9 items (PHQ-9), State subcategory of the State and Trait of Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S), Short form of Fear of Progression Questionnaire, Cancer-related Dysfunctional Beliefs about Sleep scale (C-DBS), single item of pain and fatigue, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale 2-item (CD-RISC2), and Intolerance of Uncertainty–12 (IUS-12). The predictive variables for FoP were determined by linear regression analysis.Results The FoP was significantly correlated with age (r=-0.289), ISI (r=0.178), PHQ-9 (r=0.703), STAI-S (r=0.377), fatigue (r=0.452), CD-RISC2 (r=-0.270), IUS-12 (r=0.585), and C-DBS (r=0.427, all p<0.01). A mediation analysis showed that intolerance of uncertainty and dysfunctional beliefs about sleep mediated the relationship of FoP with insomnia, depression, or anxiety.Conclusion Psychological support for intolerance of uncertainty and cancer-related dysfunctional beliefs about sleep in patients with cancer may be beneficial to reduce their FoP.

Published: October 2023

Objective Clinical rating scales are essential in psychiatry. The Young Mania Rating Scale is the gold standard for assessing mania. However, increased attention to pediatric bipolar disorder has led to the development of the Child Mania Rating Scale (CMRS), which is a parent-reported rating scale designed to assess mania in children and adolescents. This study aimed to translate the CMRS into Korean and assess the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the CMRS (K-CMRS).Methods The original English version of the CMRS has been translated into Korean. We enrolled 33 patients with bipolar disorder and 26 patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). All participants were evaluated using the translated K-CMRS, Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), and ADHD Rating Scale.Results The Cronbach’s α was 0.907. Correlation analyses between K-CMRS and MDQ scores yielded significant positive correlations (r=0.529, p=0.009). However, the factor analysis was unsuccessful. The total K-CMRS scores of bipolar disorder and ADHD patients were compared. However, the differences were not statistically significant.Conclusion The K-CMRS showed good internal consistency and reliability. The correlation between the K-CMRS and MDQ scores verifies its validity. The K-CMRS was designed to assess and score manic symptoms in children and adolescents but had difficulties in differentiating between bipolar disorder and ADHD. It is a valuable tool for evaluating the presence and severity of manic symptoms in pediatric patients with bipolar disorder.

Objective Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a growth factor used to regulate the mobilization of bone marrow progenitor cells and has been shown to promote brain repair and reduce inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the pro-cognitive and neuroplastic effects of G-CSF in healthy adults.Methods Sixteen healthy adults or donors of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation received G-CSF injections for 5 consecutive days, and their blood samples were collected before, immediately after, and 3 weeks after the G-CSF injections. Twelve subjects underwent neuropsychological testing before and 12 weeks after the G-CSF injections.Results The study found that G-CSF administration resulted in significant improvements in cognitive function, as measured by the Rey– Osterrieth Complex Figure test for immediate recall, delayed recall, and recognition score at 12 weeks after the injections. The blood levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, interleukin-4, and interleukin-8 were significantly increased immediately after the injections and returned to baseline levels after 3 weeks. There was no significant change in the plasma level of Multimer Detection System-oligomerized amyloid beta.Conclusion Our results might suggest that G-CSF has neuroplastic and pro-cognitive effects in healthy adults. However, further study containing a larger sample size is needed to confirm our findings.
Глобализация или деглобализация?
Authors: Чумаков Александр
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the content and the correct use of the basic categories of modern global studies: ‘globalization’, ‘deglobalization’ and other related terms. Using the methods of logical thinking, the author identifies significant methodological problems concerning the language and conceptual apparatus of science in general and global studies in particular. The inappropriateness of using one or another unsettled or debatable term in the scientific language without preliminary clarification of its content is shown. In particular, it is argued that adding a negative prefix to a concept introduced earlier into scientific circulation changes its semantic meaning to the opposite and no more. Specific examples show that the violation of this rule leads to terminological confusion, generates empty discussions and creates additional difficulties in scientific research.
Ускорение реконфигурации Мир-Системы в связи с СВО и возможные сценарии будущего. Ст. 2. Возможные сценарии реконфигурации Мир-Системы и мирового порядка

Since February 2022, the World-System has entered a new phase of development. Its reconfiguration, associated with the weakening of American dominance, which has been going on since at least 2008 (since the outbreak of the global crisis), has accelerated. The uncertainty about the outcome of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine (SMO), the split in the world, the collapse of the world economy into a number of economic zones, the prospect of the formation of financial and monetary zones and other processes open up other options for transformation of the world order than those that seemed dominant yesterday. The present article aims at bringing together various factors of change into a single picture, to identify a range of possible scenarios for the reconfiguration of the World-System and the transformation of the world order. The present study consists of two closely related articles. In the first article, ‘The Impact of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine on the Reconfiguration of the World-System ‘, we considered the following issues: the balance of power in the USA and the world as a whole due to SMO in Ukraine; which forces in the USA and Europe benefit from the military conflict and which do not; how the military conflict undermines the US world order; why the World-System reconfiguration has been accelerating and what new phase it is entering. It is shown how the situation will change in developed and developing states, and how the global contradiction of the modern world is being transformed. In the second article ‘Possible Scenarios for the Reconfiguration of the World- System and of the World Order’ as the title suggests, we consider in detail several possible scenarios for changes in the World-System in connection with the SMO in Ukraine and the collapse of the modern American world order as well as a number of other aspects of the transformation of the world order.

The article studies the features of structural formations and their influence on the properties of chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) films in the process of preparation from solutions in carbon tetrachloride under the action of a constant electric field. It is shown that films formed in a directed constant electric field have a higher electrical resistance and lower values of electrical capacity, heat capacity, and electrical loss tangent compared to films formed outside the field.
Age and familiarity effects on musical memory

Background. A common complaint in older adults is trouble with their memory, especially for new information. Current knowledge about normal aging and changes in memory identify a divide between memory tasks that are unaffected by aging and those that are. Among the unaffected are recognition tasks. These memory tasks rely on accessing well-known information, often include environmental support, and tend to be automatic. Negative age effects on memory are often observed at both encoding and during recall. Older adults often have difficulty with recall tasks, particularly those that require effortful self-initiated processing, episodic memory, and retention of information about contextual cues. Research in memory for music in healthy aging suggests a skill-invariance hypothesis: that age effects dominate when general-purpose cognitive mechanisms are needed to perform the musical task at hand, while experience effects dominate when music-specific knowledge is needed to perform the task (Halpern & Bartlett, 2002).Aims. The goals of this pair of studies were to investigate the effects of age and familiarity on musical memory in the context of real pieces of music, and to compare a live concert experimental setting with a lab-based experimental setting.Method. Participants’ task was to click a button (or press the spacebar) when they heard the target theme in three pieces of music. One was Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and the others were original pieces commissioned for this study, one tonal and one atonal. Participants heard the relevant theme three times before listening to a piece of music. The music was performed by the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra; participants either attended the concert, or watched a recording of the concert in the lab. Participants also completed two short cognitive tests and filled out a questionnaire collecting demographic information and a hearing abilities self-assessment.Results. We find a significant effect of familiarity and setting but not of age or musical training on recognition performance as measured by d’. More specifically, performance is best for the familiar, tonal piece, moderate for the unfamiliar tonal piece and worst for the unfamiliar atonal piece. Performance was better in the live setting than the lab setting.Conclusions. The absence of an age effect provides encouraging evidence that music’s diverse cues may encourage cognitive scaffolding, in turn improving encoding and subsequent recognition. Better performance in an ecological versus lab setting supports the expansion of ecological studies in the field.

Assalâmu‘alaikum wa rahmatullâhi wa barakâtuh.Pembaca yang budiman, tak terasa kita kembali memasuki Bulan Rabiul Awwal. Bulan ini identik dengan Maulid Nabi saw. Karena itulah Peringatan Maulid Nabi saw. menjadi rutinitas dan ritualitas tahunan di berbagai pelosok negeri setiap memasuki bulan ini.Sejarah awal Peringatan Maulid Nabi saw. sebetulnya sangat heroik. Ia berkaitan langsung dengan upaya membangkitkan kembali semangat jihad kaum Muslim dalam memerangi kaum Salibis-Eropa. Itu terjadi pada era Sultan Shalahuddin al-Ayyubi. Efek politiknya pun dahsyat. Tidak lain adalah bangkitnya kembali semangat jihad kaum Muslim yang sebelumnya sempat melemah. Tentu setelah mereka diingatkan kembali dengan semangat, keteladanan, perjuangan dan pengorbanan Baginda Rasulullah saw. dalam memperjuangkan dan membela agama ini.Bagaimana dengan Peringatan Maulid Nabi saw. saat ini? Tampaknya sangat jauh berbeda. Peringatan Maulid Nabi saw. saat ini cenderung terjebak pada rutinitas dan ritualitas tahunan. Tanpa efek politik sama sekali. Tak membangkitkan kembali semangat jihad kaum Muslim yang sudah lama melemah, bahkan padam. Padahal kondisi kaum Muslim hari ini jauh lebih menyedihkan. Terkungkung oleh penjajahan ideologi kapitalisme yang bengis. Terkurung oleh penjara besar sekularisme yang makin meruntuhkan akidah mereka.Dari berbagai sisi, kaum Muslim pun tidak berdaya. Bahkan di tengah rutinitas dan ritualitas tahunan Peringatan Maulid Nabi saw., kaum Muslim sudah lama tak berdaya untuk sekadar membela kehormatan junjungan mereka yang kerap direndahkan dan dihinakan berulang kali.Karena itu penting agar Peringatan Maulid Nabi saw. dikembalikan pada motif awalnya. Tidak lain membangkitkan semangat jihad kaum Muslim; membangkitkan semangat untuk meneladani beliau dalam segala aspeknya. Terutama meneladani perjuangan dan pengorbanan beliau dalam menegakkan agama ini. Tegaknya agama ini hanyalah dengan cara menegakkan syariah secara kâffah dalam seluruh aspekm kehidupan umat manusia seduania, dalam isntitusi politik global bernama Khilafah ‘ala minhâj an-nubuwwah.Di seputar itulah tema utama al-waie kali ini. Selain tema menarik lain lainnya. Selamat membaca!Wassalâmu‘alaikum wa rahmatullâhi wa barakâtuh https://archive.org/details/kata-pengantar-spirit-islam
