The Construction of Islamic State Law in the 5.0 Era from the Perspective of Maqasid al-Shariah
Authors: Ja'far A. Kumedi , Muhammad Majdidin Rijah , Santoso Rudi , Hidayat Taufik
Published: January 2024

The discourse on Islamic constitutional law is consistently captivating and remains relevant for discussion. Islam, as a religion of mercy for all creation, takes the Quran and Hadith as its primary guidance without providing a specific qath’i (definite) pattern for formulating a state. Nonetheless, Islam has presented several general principles that can serve as the foundation and align with the objectives of Sharia in shaping a system of governance. This includes principles of justice (al-adalah), equality before the law (musawah), democratic consultation (as-syura), and the upholding of human rights and freedoms (al-hurriyah). This research aims to describe the principles of Islamic constitutional law while examining the characteristics of laws that can be implemented for Islamic societies as per the developments toward the era 5.0. Utilizing a qualitative research approach based on both digital and classical literature sources rooted in Islamic teachings (turats), this study formulates that the ideal Islamic constitutional law in the era 5.0, after adhering to its principles, should be dynamic, humanistic, and substantial. This assertion is substantiated by several laws that have been implemented, particularly in Indonesia, significantly contributing to the creation of harmony and tranquillity among its diverse population.

Authors: Baihaqi Yusuf , Nurjanah Arini , Hasanah Uswatun
Published: January 2024

In the case of the marriage age limit stated in Law Number 1 of 1974 which has been amended by Law Number 16 of 2019, where the marriage age limit was changed to 19 years for men and women. The minimum age requirement for marriage has been widely applied for dispensation at the Sukadana Religious Court due to increases in applications every year. The rise in the number of requests for dispensation is largely due to pregnancies outside of marriage. In granting or adjudicating a marriage dispensation case, the judge considers several provisions based on legislation and Islamic Compilation Law (KHI) in terms of maqāṣid syarī'ah. The aim of granting a marriage dispensation is to provide benefits for the applicants. This type of research is qualitative. Data collection were done by conducting field research interviews with descriptive analysis. Data sources used were primary and secondary. In terms of results, the judge considers the application for marriage dispensation based on Law Number 7 of 1989 concerning Religious Courts, which was amended by Law Number 3 of 2006. Law Number 1 of 1974 which has been changed to Law Number 16 of 2019 Concerning Age Change, PERMA Number 5 of 2019 Concerning Guidelines for Adjudicating Marriage Dispensation Applications, and Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in granting marriage dispensation from a maqāṣid syarī'ah perspective, prioritizing benefits and avoiding harm that will be caused if the application for marriage dispensation is granted or not and reviewed from maqāṣid syarī'ah. The judge's consideration in granting the marriage dispensation is appropriate and includes elements of maqāṣid syarī'ah.

Implementation Of Environmental Accounting And Environmental Management Strategies At Puskesmas To Improve Financial Performance
Authors: Eko Setiawan Ade
Published: January 2024

The increasing development of health organizations in Indonesia is currently one of the main causes of environmental problems. Environmental accounting and environmental management strategies are needed to identify environmental impacts and their effects on financial performance. This study aims to find out and analyze the application of environmental accounting and environmental management strategies in improving financial performance from an Islamic perspective at the Buay Nyerupa Health Center, West Lampung Regency. This study uses a qualitative research method that emphasizes the in-depth understanding of a problem. The results of the study show that the management and minimization of environmental damage at the Buay Nyerupa Health Center has been implemented quite well in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) No.5. Although it is not yet detailed for the budget at the Puskesmas, there are already some, namely the general activity plan cost, operational cost, as well as planning cost and expenditure budget. However, because the Buay Nyerupa Health Center has not yet become a BLUD (Regional Public Service Agency), its performance cannot be implemented optimally, so its financial performance cannot be measured. In addition, in terms of managing financial reports, the Puskesmas have implemented the appropriate Sharia principles, namely fairness and trustworthiness.

The Point of Views of Indonesian Mufassir (M. Quraish Shihab and Hamka) on Polygamy and its Relevance to Legislation in Indonesia
Authors: Yoki Pradikta Hervin
Published: January 2024

Asr prayer is one of the obligatory prayers performed at specific times among the five daily prayers. However, in the literature of fiqh, there is a division of Salat Asar into fadīlah (preferred time), ikhtiyār (permissible time), and jawāz (allowable time). This is closely related to the virtue of performing the prayer in its early time, as mentioned in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, and the discouragement of delaying Asr prayer until its later time. It is essential to establish a precise time, specifying the exact hour and minute for fadīlah, ikhtiyār, and jawāz in Asr prayer. There are two methods for determining the timing of fadīlah, ikhtiyār, and jawāz: firstly, through a fiqh approach, which involves observing the phenomena of the Sun’s movement, and secondly, through a scientific approach, using mathematical and astronomical calculations. Both the fiqh and scientific methods are integrated and mutually beneficial in the development of a formulation, providing ease in determining the timing of fadīlah, ikhtiyār, and jawāz in Salat Asar.

Derivative Transactions on Sharia Hedging (Al-Tahawwuth Al-Islami Era 5.0 Perspective of Sharia Economic Law
Authors: Fikri Arif , Fikri Arif , Alia Rahma Fuji , Santoso Rudi , Zaharah Rita
Published: January 2024

Derivatives generally involve unlimited liability. The decline in traditional activities implies the future of the banking industry and creates new challenges for regulators. In other cases, Sharia hedging is a breakthrough for Indonesia to be based on the Qur’an and sunnah, which are considered to violate Islamic law. This study aims to study the transactions that we know very little about so that we can run them by existing regulations. This study uses qualitative methodology with descriptive research and an empirical juridical approach. The results in this study were related to regulations that are only listed in Fatwa DSN-MUI No. 96 of 2025 regarding sharia hedging, which is not clearly explained. Hedging is implemented so that there are gharar, maisie dan riba’ in it, but this becomes a polemic because it should be a form of application of Sharia principles in Indonesia.

Constitutionality of Open Legal Policy Making Law Number 3 of 2022 Concerning the State Capital in the Perspective of Siyasa Dusturiyyah
Authors: Yasin al Arif M. , Amri Wahlulia , Dzil Arsyi Makiin Inda
Published: January 2024

Open legal policy is a mandate provided by the constitution related to broad and flexible regulations. However, this policy has the potential to be misused by lawmakers when making policies for the public. Therefore, repositioning is needed by examining the extent of the boundaries of open legal policy in the making of the National Capital Law. This study aims to identify issues of open legal policy and evaluate the substance of the National Capital Law from the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyyah. This research is a normative legal study using secondary data viewed from the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyyah using a conceptual approach. The research found that Siyasah Dusturiyyah in the substance of the National Capital Law needs evaluation, considering several notes that the Nusantara Capital (IKN) will be led by the IKN Authority Head. The appointment of the IKN Authority Head is based on appointment, not regional head election, which is a violation of democracy because the appointment of IKN leaders is not through elections, which means not accommodating the right to voice and the right to choose from the people, which also violates Islamic law. This research concludes that the open legal policy in the National Capital Law, from the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyyah, can be an alternative solution in each legislator’s rules to ensure that the regulations made are in line to improve welfare and equalize the development in the regions. The involvement of local governments is needed to establish regional cooperation, involving community participation and the principles of openness and public interest.

Reinterpretation of Bank Interest Law in the View of K.H Bahauddin Nursalim on YouTube Channel
Authors: Bella Triana Arinda , Nur Edi Relit , Santoso Rudi
Published: January 2024

The controversy over the bank convention still colors the discourse that lives in society because the interest given by the bank convention is something that is forbidden by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). But not long ago, there were contemporary scholars such as K.H Bahauddin Nursalim who said that the status of bank interest is not unlawful. Then what is the reason why K.H Bahauddin Nursalim does not contain haram elements? This research is library research. The data were collected using secondary data. As a result, bank interest in the view of K.H Bahauddin Nursalim is associated with re-interpretation. K.H Bahauddin Nursalim linked interest banks more with inflation rates, so the reason bank interest is compensated to prevent inflation cannot be justified, which like this is strictly prohibited in Islam considering that even a penny’s excess includes usury.

Published: January 2024

The halal industry continues to grow in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. It is currently one of the most potential economic sectors. However, despite having very good prospects, the halal industry also faces several challenges in the 5.0 era, especially in the fields of science and Islamic laws. For this reason, this research was conducted to reveal the challenges of the halal industry in Indonesia. The research method used is library research whose sources are from the Quran, hadiths, books, laws and regulations, and scientific articles. The research reveals that in terms of science, the challenges include the supply chain, and raw materials used in the production process. In addition, raw materials that were originally halal but due to a lack of public understanding, the final product becomes haram, either due to the slaughtering process or other processes. The next challenge is the use of food and beverage names, equipment, storage tools, and digital business processes. Meanwhile, from the Islamic law perspective, all processes in the halal industry must be by Islamic values found in the Quran, hadith, and the opinions of scholars. In addition, the next challenge is to develop modern halal fiqh that reaches aspects of artificial intelligence 5.0.

Onset Dynamics of the Growing Season of Natural-Soil Zones of Altai Region for 1955-2020
Authors: Maximova Nina B. , Morkovkin Gennadii G. , Nenasheva Galina I.
Published: January 2024

Global climate changes observed over recent decades have determined the need for more detailed studies of agrometeorological indicator dynamics affecting biological agrophytocenoses productivity; it is important to identify the features of their manifestations in a specific area. Altai region is characterized by a wide range of natural environments due to the combination of lowland and mountainous areas that accumulate and redistribute solar radiation and precipitation on the Earth’s surface to varying extents. One of the key agroclimatic indicators is the length of the growing season, particularly its onset in spring. Research focuses on assessing the dynamics of the onset of the growing season in time (the time span of studies is 1955-2020) and predicting the onset of the growing season for natural zones in the future. To identify a possible shift in the onset dates of the growing season for specific natural zones over a long-term period, we devised two time groups (1955-1990 and 1991-2020) in accordance with the observations from the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It was revealed that in the zone of chestnut soils of dry steppes, on average for 1955-1990 and 1991-2020, there was a shift in the onset of the growing season to an earlier date, particularly 9 days earlier. The zone of chernozems in the arid and moderately arid steppe, as well as the zone of chernozems of leached and gray forest soils in the middle forest-steppe, podzolized and leached, dark gray and gray forest soils in the foothills of the Salair ridge, demonstrate a shift in the onset of the growing season by 7-8 days earlier. Low dynamics during the onset of the growing season (5 days only) were observed in the zone of chernozems of the foothill plains, foothills, and low mountains of Altai in two subzones: chernozems of the meadow steppe of the foothills and low mountains of Altai and chernozems of typical and leached meadow steppe of the foothills of Altai.

Published: January 2024

Based on stock materials on the Kargalinskoye thermal water deposit and field studies in the area of the geothermal well 9-T Kargalinskaya (Chechen Republic), mapping of the area of impact of the outflowing waters of this well was carried out and a comprehensive geoecological assessment of their impact on the landscape and land use was given. At the mesolevel, an assessment was made of the integration of the well into the regional landscape structure (a profile was built on which the main geological and geographical boundaries and units of physical and geographical differentiation are indicated: types and groups of landscapes). At a large-scale level, a comprehensive mapping of landscapes and land use was carried out on a scale of 1:10 000. In the field, characteristics were given to natural complexes of the rank of tracts and facies (with a description of vegetation, soils and actual use), water temperatures were measured, and water samples were taken for chemical analysis from a well and a groundwater basin used for drip irrigation of agricultural land. Geobotanical studies of the flora were carried out with the identification of the main phytocenoses, at some points of which transects (1 m2) were laid, dominant associations, the number of dominants, and the total projective cover were determined.

The article presents the results of a study of the thunderstorm activity diurnal rate and the energy parameters of lightning discharges in locations of thunderstorm fires. The Altai Republic territory serves as the region of research, fire data were obtained from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Tourism of the Altai Republic and the Altai State Nature Biosphere, data on thunderstorm activity were provided by the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN). The study period covers May to October from 2016 to 2020. It was found that the maximum thunderstorm activity shifts from the second half of the day (15-16 hours) to the evening (18-19 and 21 hours) in the days preceding fires. Regularities in hourly dynamics of discharge energy for the territory of the republic were identified - median values gradually increasing from the first half of the day to the evening and decreasing at night and in the morning. It was also established that in the days preceding fires, there is an increase in median discharge energy (by 13 % from the usual value), as well as an increase in values of the first quartile of discharge energy (by 27 % from the usual value).

Cultural identity is linked to language. Malian literature, like all literature, has an identity. This cultural identity presents its particularity in that it makes it possible to identify in certain cases the ethnicity of the author through the use of his mother tongue in his writings. Thus in the short story entitled Le Bac de Cabri mort by Mamadou Konaté that we have chosen to study there are words and expressions from the author's mother tongue or one of the national languages ​​of Mali. Which clearly shows that the mother tongue faces the French language which was the official language in Mali before becoming a working language. We tried to understand the author's choice in this short story regarding the use of terms and expressions relating to the Bambara language.

ResumoO trabalho aqui apresentado se insere dentro de uma pesquisa maior, empreendida para a conclusão de um pós-doutorado, que pretende historiar parte da crítica teatral brasileira, de seus primórdios no século XVI à sua consolidação como uma atividade intelectual autônoma, algo que se sucedeu no decorrer do século XIX. Inicialmente atrelada a relatos de cunho histórico e à crônica de viagem, somente com o advento da imprensa ela se emanciparia de vez, adquirindo alguns aspectos que hoje a singularizam. O artigo que segue corresponde à primeira parcela da pesquisa, reservada à análise de uma espécie de protocrítica do teatro brasileiro, que vicejou no Brasil colonial pelas mãos de cronistas estrangeiros e nativos, perfazendo uma trajetória em que se percebe uma tênue, mas ainda assim relevante, linha de desenvolvimento.AbstractThe paper presented here is part of a larger research study, conducted for the conclusion of a postdoctoral degree, that proposes to tell part of the history of Brazilian theater criticism from its beginnings in the 16th century to its consolidation as an independent intellectual activity, which happened over the course of the 19th century. Initially associated with historical reports and travel chronicles, it was only with the advent of the press that it would emancipate itself once and for all and acquire some elements that make it unique today. The article that follows corresponds to the first part of this research, reserved for the analysis of a type of proto-criticism of Brazilian theater that flourished in colonial Brazil through the hands of foreign and native chroniclers, comprising a journey in which a tenuous, yet relevant, line of development is noticeable.

Authors: Sugi La , Rahman Muhajir Abd. , Kamarzaman Mohd Haidhar
Published: January 2024

Salafi community in Ambon have developed since the arrival of Laskar Jihad during the 1999 Ambon Conflict. Social dan religious competition has divided them, which is not only triggered by their interpretation of Islam but also by their efforts to gain religious influence and socio-religious dominance within the Islamic society. The research method used in this research is qualitative phenomenology. The research results found that for the Salafis, love for their homeland was proven during the COVID-19 pandemic; Salafi groups in Ambon also implement all policies issued by the Indonesian government without exception. Religious moderation is a fair and balanced attitude that does not exaggerate or belittle religion. Another characteristic of the moderation attitude shown is constantly repairing and avoiding damage. Salafi community in Ambon continue try to protect their faith, soul, reason, honor, lineage, and property. They respect fellow religious people, regardless their religious background and beliefs.
The Recent Traditionalist Turn in Indonesian Islam After Conservatives: How its Engagement towards Urban Muslims
Authors: Jati Wasisto Raharjo , Yilmaz Ihsan
Published: January 2024

The recent Indonesian Islamic wave in Indonesia appears to be inclined towards a traditionalist turn. This turn specifically denotes the ascendancy of traditional Islamic teachings as the forefront in Indonesia. The resurgence of traditionalism has consequently led to a decline in the influence of conservatives, that has dominated public preferences from the 2000s to early 2014. While these new waves are likely to persist due to strong government support for religious moderation programs. They provoke both favorable and unfavorable perspectives among urban Muslims. In light of this contentious stance, this paper seeks to explore why urban Muslims display a reluctance towards the traditionalist shift. To address this inquiry, the research employs critical discourse analysis based on literature reviews. The primary finding of this discussion is that as the traditionalist movement extends its influence into urban environments, urban Muslims communities tend to align themselves with conservative ideologies. This poses a challenge for traditionalists aiming to alter religious preferences in urban areas.

Authors: Suroyo Suroyo , Soedjiwo Novena Ade Fredyarini , Entas Derinta , Putra Bima Maulana
Published: January 2024

The festival of Aghi Ghayo Onam (The Sixth Feast Day) is celebrated extensively in Kampar, even more so than Idul Fitri on the first day of Shawwal. This sixth-day celebration has become a customary tradition passed down through generations and regularly practised by the people of Kampar Regency. Previous research lacks a detailed examination of the religious customs and attire of the Malay Kampar Riau community from an Islamic viewpoint. This present study seeks to examine these traditions through an Islamic lens. The research methodology employed was qualitative, with observation of cultural events and practices, and analysis of relevant literature as primary data collection and the support data will involve unstructured interviews with community members. The findings of the study reveal that the Malay Kampar people's Aghi Ghayo Onam tradition is deeply intertwined with their cultural practices. Islamic teachings inform their daily lives, including their clothing, food, and social interactions in the tradition. The community also places great importance on maintaining its cultural identity through its traditional food, which is characterized by vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and the spices of the authentic local food. The study concludes that an understanding of these traditions is essential for promoting interfaith dialogue and cultural understanding in a diverse society.

Published: January 2024

En 2015, Potter et al. propusieron un índice de condición corporal para equinos que, al igual que la calificación de la condición corporal de Henneke, mostró una alta correlación con el porcentaje de grasa corporal estimada mediante el método de dilución con óxido de deuterio. El propósito de nuestra investigación fue validar el índice de condición corporal como método objetivo de estimación del porcentaje de grasa corporal en caballos fina sangre de carrera en competencia, evaluando su correlación con la calificación de la condición corporal de Henneke modificada por Koehne (1992). Se utilizaron cincuenta caballos fina sangre de carrera en competencia (22 hembras, dos machos enteros y 26 machos castrados), de 3 a 9 años. En cada individuo se estimó la calificación de la condición corporal de Henneke modificada y se midió la alzada, circunferencia del cuello y los perímetros torácico y abdominal, medidas con las que se calculó el índice de condición corporal. Las medidas fueron comparadas entre sexos mediante análisis de varianza y la prueba de Tukey. Se calculó la correlación de Pearson entre la calificación de la condición corporal de Henneke modificada y el índice de condición corporal. La calificación de la condición corporal de Henneke modificada mostró una alta correlación con el índice de condición corporal en caballos fina sangre de carrera (r=0,922; p<0,00001). El estudio sugiere que el índice de condición corporal es un método válido para estimar la condición corporal en caballos fina sangre de carrera en competencia.

Los índices estructurales y de desempeño proporcionan información objetiva sobre el morfotipo de los animales y su potencial funcionalidad. El objetivo del trabajo fue caracterizar la morfología de los caballos de una escuela ecuestre, analizando la variación conformacional de estos a partir de ciertas medidas morfométricas: peso (PC), altura a la cruz (AC), altura a la grupa (AG), altura al dorso (AD), longitud corporal (LC), perímetro torácico (PT) y perímetro de caña anterior (PCA). Con estas medidas se calcularon los siguientes índices de desempeño o conformación: corporal (IC), de conformación (ICF), de compacidad (ICO), dáctilo-torácico (IDT), de Carga 1 (IC1) y 2 (IC2), de masa corporal (IMC), relación perímetro torácico-altura a la cruz (PT:A) y grado de ajuste de silla (GS). Esto se hizo en caballos deportivos de cuatro tipos raciales: caballo colombiano para deporte (CCD), criollo (CR), polo argentino (PA) y pura sangre inglés (PSI). Los datos se tomaron de 29 caballos (9 hembras y 20 machos) con edad promedio de 10 años. Los índices de conformación difirieron entre razas (P<0,01), y se correlacionaron con el biotipo morfológico de cada una de estas. El morfotipo promedio para CR y PSI (tabla 3) los definió como caballos longilíneos, mientras que CCD y PA son mesolíneos, aptos para silla deportiva. La determinación de los índices morfológicos permitió la correcta caracterización de la conformación de caballos deportivos, por lo que a partir de estos índices es posible clasificar de manera objetiva el fin funcional de estos. Además, algunos índices (IC1, IC2, GE) serían indicadores indirectos de la relación fin-bienestar en los animales.
Bull’s age effect on the ratio of x and y chromosome-bearing spermatozoa

Published: January 2024

The reproductive efficiency improvements that can be achieved in bovine herds highly depend on the male, as the bulls account for approximately 80% of the gene pool. Likewise, age can impact the sires’ reproductive efficiency through its seminal quality, which is strongly influenced by the bull’s sexual maturity. The study aimed to assess the bull’s age effect on the X and Y chromosomes-bearing spermatozoa ratio in semen. Sixteen Brahman bulls (Bos indicus) were grouped into two age range and their reproductive capacity was assessed. Genomic DNA was extracted from a single collection of semen to quantify by qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) the PLP and SRY genes, used as sexual chromosome markers, and autosomal GAPDH as the reference gene. The values obtained were compared using the delta Ct (2-∆Ct) method and validated with the use of a commercial sample of semen sexed for the X chromosome. The SRY gene had a proportion of 43% in bulls of 4-5 years of age and 32% in the group of 9-10 years, while the proportions of the PLP gene were 57% in bulls of 4-5 years and 68% in the 9-10 years group. This deviation from the expected ratio (1:1) in bulls of nine and ten years old with a preponderance of the X chromosome content might suggest a possible influence of age in the sex chromosome proportions in the spermatozoa; however, these results were not statistically significant.

Published: January 2024

Brycon moorei is an endemic species of the Magdalena River basin with a strong commercial, sports and consumption fishing pressure; however, knowledge of ontogeny is scarce or non-existent. For this reason, the present study describes and compares early development in this species. Product of semi-natural induced reproduction, at established times, samples were taken from fertilization until day 15 after hatching to characterize the stages of zygote, cleavage, blastula, gastrula, segmentation, organogenesis, hatching and early juvenile. It was found that the latency time was 6 hours after the second dose at 26°C; hatching occurred at 13 hours post-fertilization (HPF). In the larval stage, cannibalism begins at 22 hours post-hatching (HPH); the maximum buccal opening was reached at 37 HPH with 1773.37 µm and the yolk sac was totally absorbed at 37 HPH. For the pre-bending stage, the mean weight was 3.14±0.36 mg and the length were 6.85±0.53 mm; in the final stage of post-flexion, the average weight and total length were 221.6±15.84 mg and 25.66±0.64mm, respectively. Finally, juveniles with the same characteristics as an adult were presented at 326 HPH. It is concluded that Brycon moorei presents an embryonic and larval development, like most of the species of the genus Brycon and others of the Characidae family; but with the shortest time to consume endogenous reserves and with the shortest time to start cannibalism.

Published: January 2024

Hemangiosarcomas are tumors of mesenchymal origin, potentially deleterious, associated with areas of high vascularization. Tumor progression and growth are associated with these tumors’ ability to retain blood and give rise to tortuous blood vessels. They have a vast metastatic capacity, often occurring in organs such as the spleen, liver, and aorta artery. However, other sites may be affected, although less frequently, such as the third eyelid and the conjunctiva and cutaneous regions. This article aims to report the case of an 8-year-old female dog with a history of conjunctival hemangiosarcoma, in the medial region of the left eye, with a hemorrhagic appearance. The animal was submitted to the surgical procedure of enucleation after the involvement of the surgical margins in a previous histopathological examination.
Retatrutide as a Novel Treatment for Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Mikhail Nasser
Published: January 2024

Retatrutide is a triple hormone agonist of the receptors of glucagon-like peptide 1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon that can be administered subcutaneously once a week. Different doses and escalation schedules of retatrutide were evaluated in 2 phase 2 American trials of subjects with obesity (n=338) and type 2 diabetes (n=281). In the obesity trial of 48 week-duration, percentage change in body weight from baseline after 24 weeks and 48 weeks were the primary and secondary outcomes respectively. At 24 weeks, the mean percentage decrease in weight ranged from 7.2% to 17.5% across retatrutide groups versus 1.6% with placebo. At 48 weeks, the decrease was 8.7% to 24.2% versus 2.1% with placebo. In the diabetes trial, the primary endpoint was a change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values from baseline to week 24. This trial included an active treatment group receiving dulaglutide 1.5mg once weekly. Secondary endpoints included change in HbA1c and body weight at 36 weeks. At 24 weeks, mean HbA1c reductions were 0.43% to 2.02% with retatrutide, 1.4% with dulaglutide and 0.01% with placebo. At 36 weeks, mean percentage weight reductions were 3.2% to 16.9% with retatrutide, 2.0% with dulaglutide and 3.0% with placebo. While the decrease in HbA1c levels reached a plateau at 24 weeks, weight loss in the 2 studies was progressive without evidence of attenuation effect up to the end of follow-up at 36-48 weeks. The most common adverse effects of retatrutide were gastrointestinal (GI) such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and constipation reported by 13-50% in the retatrutide groups compared with 35% in the dulaglutide group, and 13% in the placebo group. Discontinuation rates due to adverse effects were also higher with retatrutide being 16-17% compared with 2% with dulaglutide and 0-4% with placebo. In summary, retatrutide is highly effective drug in causing substantial weight loss and HbA1c reduction. Yet, tolerance to this drug seems sub-optimal. Phase 3 trials are urgently needed to clarify efficacy and safety of retatrutide.

Survey of Traditional Birth Attendants in Sagbama and Southern Ijaw Local Government Areas of Bayelsa State
Authors: Alade GO
Published: January 2024

The indigenous people of Ijaw in Southern Nigeria are endowed with a deep culture of Traditional birth attendance, and they make use of medicinal plants in their practice to assist in ante- and post-natal cares. It is therefore imperative to document their rich knowledge to avoid its extinction. The work was performed with the aim of identifying and documenting the botanicals employed by the traditional birth attendants in some Ijaw tribes of Bayelsa State. The study was carried out by employing semi-structured questionnaires amidst personal interviews which were administered to forty-five traditional birth attendants (TBAs) between April and August 2019 to obtain information. Thirty-six medicinal plant species belonging to thirty-five genera within twenty- four families were mentioned by the TBAs mostly for labour induction (22.04%). Female fertility (14.47%) threatened abortion (13.49%) and foetal development (10.20%) were treated with Ageratum conyzoides (L.) L. (Compositae), Vernonia amygdalina Delile (Compositae), Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lam.) Oken and Acanthaceae, respectively making the Compositae the most important family. Of these, V. amygdalina was the most cited plant by the TBAs with frequency index (FI) of 44.44, while B. pinnatum ranked the next with FI=40.00. The survey provides an authentic data from TBAs for documentation which will be helpful for researchers in drug development as well as preserving the cultural heritage towards increasing the health manpower of the country.
Deinococcus Radiodurans as Extraordinary DNA Fixers
Authors: Khan Nida Tabassum
Published: January 2024

Deinococcus Radiodurans is known for its exceptional tolerance potential against ionizing radiation, an unusual trait not found in any other bacterium. Radiation induced DNA damage in Deinococcus Radiodurans seems, by all accounts, to be repaired through the involvement of enzymatic components i.e., RecA that cleaves and splice together the overlapping chromosomal fragments through homologues recombination. This swift mechanism of DNA repairing in these bacterium’s accounts for their survival under extreme conditions and also their utilization in bioremediation of heavy metals such as Deinococcus Radiodurans assisted biofilms involved in the bioremediation of nickel and cobalt metals.

This study was aimed to identify ovarian dynamics using ultrasonography (USG) in simmental crossbreedcows diagnosed prolonged oestrustreatment with human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). A total of four Simmental crossbreed cows diagnosed with prolonged oestrouswere used in this study. The first oestrous observations in all four cows were a control group, where as the next oestrous cycle observation to the same four cows treated with 1500 IU hCG in jugular vein refer to treated group. The observation of ovarian dynamics was started from the first oestrous day until ovulation occurs in the second oestrus cycle using ultrasonography (USG) with a linear rectal probe. At the same time, follicle and corpus luteum (CL) images were recorded every day. Data were analyzed using paired data comparison test (pair sample t-test). The observation results ovarian dynamics on prolonged oestruscows showed that the long of oestrous cycle was 22.5 ± 0.5 days, and there are three follicular wave patterns in oestrous cycle. The first wave of dominant follicle was firstly identified on day 3.3 ± 0.5, reached maximum diameter 12.0 ± 0.3 cm. The second and third dominant follicle appeared on day 10.8 ± 0.5 and 15.8 ± 0.5 cm reached maximum diameter 1.2 ± 0.3 cm dan 1.5 ± 0.3 cm.Therapy with hCG does not significantly affect the dominant follicle’s diameter during oestrous (p>0.05). The conclusion of this study showed that 1500 IU of hCG therapy does not affect the development of dominant follicle, however, it can shorten the duration of oestrous and ovulation time.
État de préparation et engagement communautaire concernant El Niño dans la région de l’Afrique orientale et australe
Authors: Rohan Hana
Published: January 2024

El Niño peut être considéré comme un phénomène climatique à risques multiples, et les considérations relatives aux besoins en matière d’information varient selon les populations et les risques, y compris les risques directs liés aux conditions météorologiques, la réduction de la production agricole, une insécurité alimentaire et une malnutrition plus importantes, une transmission accrue des maladies infectieuses et des conséquences sur l’accès aux soins de santé. Les communications d’avertissement de danger à long et à court terme sont susceptibles de devoir contenir différents appels à l’action, et il y aura probablement différents niveaux d’urgence à ces appels. Cette synthèse des considérations clés décrit les implications d’El Niño dans la région Afrique de l’Est et Afrique australe (ESAR) pour les initiatives de Communication des Risques et d’Engagement Communautaire (CREC), basées sur des événements météorologiques comparables antérieurs. Les enseignements tirés proviennent principalement de la littérature sur la communication des prévisions et des informations météorologiques, mais ont des implications pour la riposte CREC à risques multiples. Certains enseignements sont également tirés au-delà de l’Afrique de l’Est et de l’Afrique australe, mais sont pris en considération dans le cadre des effets anticipés d’El Niño dans la région ESAR en particulier. La première section de la note stratégique porte sur les besoins en matière d’information, la deuxième section porte sur la façon de garantir et de renforcer la confiance dans l’information, et la dernière section porte sur les stratégies de communication et d’engagement communautaire. Cette note stratégique a été commandée par le Service Collectif en tant que ressource destinée aux organisations travaillant sur la stratégie de CREC liée à El Niño dans la région ESAR.
