The renewed system of the Russian Empire and the royal prerogative in the projects of Lev Tikhomirov
Authors: Smolin M. B.
Published: January 2024

As a result of the reforms of 1905–1907, an attempt was made to build a syncretic system — the Duma monarchy with an eye to the schemes of the parliamentary system of European countries, without conforming either to national traditions or to the historical conditions of Russia. The scheme of “right perestroika” proposed by L.A. Tikhomirov can be briefly defined as the introduction of a monarchical people’s representation into the state system, the purpose of which is to represent the opinions and needs of the people under the supreme power of the Sovereign Emperor. Representation and legislation in this case should be carried out by two different State institutions in the field of public administration. The monarchical people’s representation should be formed from the real-life estate and professional associations, as well as from newly emerging and recognized by the state, with the legitimized dominance of the voice of the Russian people in this representation. To do this, L.A. Tikhomirov proposed a new codification of the Basic Laws, which would consistently carry out the idea of the need for legislative freedom for the supreme power in its activities for the benefit of the Fatherland, which should be guaranteed by the autocracy and unlimited supreme power of the Sovereign Emperor.
The Russian language in the context of socio-economic adaptation of labor migrants from Central Asia in Russia
Authors: Grebeniyk A. A. , Maksimova A. S. , Ageenko A. A.
Published: January 2024

International labor migration is an important part of modern processes taking place in the world, affecting not only the countries’ economies, but also it’s political, social and demographic situation. Due to the peculiarities of the Russian economy, the attraction of foreign workers is an urgent need, however, it should be noted that labor migration carries not only positive aspects for the host countries. The flow of migrants who do not speak Russian well, who were brought up in a different cultural and religious environment and, as a result, are difficult to integrate into Russian society, forms some social development challenges for Russia. In recent years, there have been disputes in the expert community about the language proficiency of labor migrants.

This article presents an analysis of the level of Russian language proficiency of foreign workers from Central Asian countries, as well as the impact of this level on various aspects of their socio-economic adaptation. In addition, the article examines the level of Russian language proficiency of labor migrants, depending on their migration intentions, the length of stay in the host country, as well as depending on the field of activity of foreign workers. In the process of the research, the influence of the level of knowledge of the Russian language on the monthly income of a foreign worker was analyzed. It was noted that in order to eliminate the communication barrier between foreign workers and the local population, there is a need to intensify the language training of migrants by developing and implementing language courses, expanding access to them and migrants’ awareness of their availability.
Social aspects of manifestations of regional identity in toponymic nicknames
Authors: Bagaeva A. V.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to an actual problem that reflects a clearly visible crisis of communicative culture, which hides a deeper conflict of social values, manifested in the breakdown of patterns formed in the past, standards of action in specific situations of communication between representatives of different ethnic groups, cultures, confessions, etc. A surge in the birth of new ethnopholisms, acting as the most expressive ethnonyms, coincided with the rise to a new level of hate speech, in which the most diverse socially colored nicknames turn into a powerful tool for political stigmatization of any persons or communities that are different from the subject of this process.

The study of such a phenomenon is interdisciplinary in nature and is impossible without knowledge of the facts of history, culture, language, economic life of different ethnic groups. The study of ethnopholisms in the form of toponymic nicknames allows us to find out the reasons for the ambivalent attitude towards the trend of regionalization, when, on the one hand, it is under pressure from the same social, economic, political and spiritual processes that caused the collapse of global projects, however, on the other hand, the proximity of regional actions to local conditions, provides a basis for predicting the possibility, through the strengthening of identity, to create both a stronger socio-economic basis for the development of regional communities, and to find a new model for their interaction in the global space.

Published: January 2024

In this study, persimmon powder (PP) was substituted in concentrations of 0, 5 and 10% per 100 g of einkorn flour (EF) in Turkish noodle production. Quince seed mucilage (QSM) was used as an egg replacer at levels of 20, 30 and 40%. The cooking properties, chemical composition, color values, texture characteristics, and sensory properties of Turkish noodles were determined. The lowest cooking time (8.33 min) was found in Turkish noodles substituted with 10% PP. When 40% QSM was added to the formulation, both volume increase and water absorption values increased. Turkish noodles produced with a higher concentration of PP resulted in increased ash, crude fiber, mineral contents, especially in potassium, and total phenolic content. The lowest firmness and work of shear were obtained when PP and QSM substitutions were increased up to 10% and 40%, respectively. The sensory evaluation indicated that Turkish noodles substituted with 10% PP were greatly appreciated by the panelists in terms of taste, odor, and overall acceptability.

Published: January 2024

Carotenoids are organic pigments with antioxidant properties that are commonly found in nature. Various types of carotenoids are produced by microorganisms. In this study, we aimed to determine the microorganisms with potential carotenoid production and yellow-orange pigment production during the storage of white cheese below 10°C. Five different white cheeses with pigmentation problems were obtained from the provinces of Istanbul and Kocaeli. Colonies with a typical yellow-orange color and morphological differences were selected on MRS and M17 media. The presence of carotenoid genes in 136 selected colonies was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis using colony PCR, and carotenoid genes were detected in 6 colonies. According to the 16S rRNA sequence results, one of the 6 bacterial colonies carrying the carotenoid gene was Lactococcus lactis, another was Enterococcus faecium, and the rest was Lactobacillus plantarum. In addition to genotypic identification, Gram-staining was performed to determine the phenotypic characteristics of bacteria carrying the carotenoid gene, and it was found that six bacteria had Gram-positive and bacilli morphology. These results showed that some carotenoid producer strains existed in the microbioata of cheeses during cold storage.

Authors: I. Abdulla Hajer , S. Al-Nimer Marwan , I. Al-Jumaily Ali
Published: January 2024

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the salivary and lacrimal glands that leads to functional impairment. Hypof unction of salivary glands is the main cause of oral pathological changes and is associated with alterations in the constituents of the saliva. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that proteomic approaches markers (notably peptides) are involved in the oral manifestations observed in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A total number of 71 participants were admitted in the study; 21 of them have Sjögren's syndrome (Group I), 43 non- Sjögren's syndrome cases refer red or attended the dental clinic seeking for certain management (Group II) and 7 apparent healthy subjects without dental problems (Group III). Stimulated saliva was collected from each patients and participants for biochemical analysis including assessment of salivary protein and peptides. Salivary flow rate was significantly (p<0.01) reduced in SS patients by 33.4% and 24.1% of corresponding Group II and Group III respectively. The salivary protein concentrations (total albumin and peptides) pe r milliliter saliva fluid were increased in SS patients. Saliva peptides (2.09±1.01 mg/ml) level was significantly (p<0.05) hi gher than Group II (1.708±0.649 mg/ml) and Group III (1.339±0.517 mg/ml). Hypofunction of saliv ary glands in SS is associated with significant changes in the saliva constituents particularly the peptides.
A Comparative Study for Localization of Odontoclast in Crown and Root of Physiological Resorbed Primary Teeth
Authors: M. Al-Gburi Rafea
Published: January 2024

Root and crown resorption is a physiologic event for the primary teeth. It is still unclear whether odontoclasts, the cells which resorb the dental har d tissue, are different from the osteoclasts, the cells that resorb bone. Dental tissue resorption seems to be initiated and regulated by the stellate reticulum and the dental follicle of the underlying permanent tooth via the secretion of stimulatory molecules, i.e. cytokines and transcription factors. The primary teeth resorption process is regulated in a manner similar to bone remodeling, involving the same receptor ligand system known as RANK/RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B/ RANK Ligand), which represent two cytokine-like proteins of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, are localized on bone cells and dental cells .They are crucial for the regulation of osteoclastic/odontoclast cell differentiation and also for the upregulation of mature osteoclasts/odontoclasts mediated by cell-to-cell contact and a subsequent cascade of diverse intracellular signaling processes .The aim of the present study was to localize and compare the IHC rea ctions for RANKL along root surface and the crown of human phs iological resorbed primary teeth. Fifteen human upper deciduous (second molar) teeth ,undergoing root and crown resorption wer e used for immunohistochemical study to identify RANKL expre ssion. The results demonstrated a high mean of expression of R ANKL in root as compared with crown in human primary shedding teeth. The present study concludes that RANKL play a role in res orption process of the primary teeth.
Effect of Surface Treatments on the Biaxial Flexural Strength of High Leucite Feldspathic Porcelains
Authors: Y. Shareef Mohammed , K. Ali Maher
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of altering surface topography on the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of four dental ceramics, Mir age (MI), Flexoceram (FL), Optec-HSP (OP) and IPS Empress (EM).Twelve groups of ten discs 123mm were prepared and fired according to the manufacturers' instructions. Ten specimens of each material were subjected to three surface treatments, polished, grit blasted and etched with 10% hydrofluoric acid (HF) for 2 minutes. Some specimens were gold coated for examination under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). BFS was determined using Lloyd M5K universal testing machine at a cross - head speed of 0.5 mm/min. A one-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the differences between groups.The results obtained showed that the only significant difference in the BFS was the 10% HF for OP and FL (One-way Anova, P<0.05). The decrease in BFS is most likely due to an increased surface flaw size, such that surface initiated crack growth dominates over the bulk internal flaw size of the ceramics.The BFS of dental porcelain used in this st udy may be governed either by the internal or surface flaws dependi ng on the manner of surface preparation. Specimens etched with 10% HF became weaker for OP and FL ceramics.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: The present study aimed to explore the frontline employees in-shop motivation to influence the customers in-shop emotions. The study further proposed the conceptual foundations of the dynamic nature of value outcomes in non-fuel retail stations, where each customer perceives the interaction with frontline employee differently. Therefore, the value outcomes based on the customers’ in-shop emotions were dynamic.

Methods: The study had used the content analysis to seek the outcome where the data was collected using open-ended interviews from frontline employees and customers of non-fuel retail outlets in Malaysia. The sample size was 12 using the snowball technique, including 6 frontline employees in phase 1 and 6 customers in phase 2 who had visited the same non-fuel retail outlets used in phase 1 for data collection.

Findings: The results showed interesting findings where it was observed that customers get positive and negative influence emotionally through individual interaction with frontline employees. Furthermore, the positive/negative emotions helped the customers to create or destroy the value individually. These service encounters are subjective and vary from customer-customer affecting their emotions differently are therefore cannot be generalized on the large set of audience.

Originality: Through the lens of S-D logic paradigm, the present study has conceptualized the dynamic nature of emotions which can lead towards value creation/value destruction or value destruction/value creation in different situations and contexts based on the individual service encounters of customers-frontline employees within non-fuel retail shops.

Published: January 2024

Sidaguri (Sida rhombifolia) is one of the compound plants widely used as herbal
components and is reported to contain some bioactive responsible for biological activities
including antioxidants. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activities of Sidaguri
from different harvesting times and to correlate FTIR spectroscopy in combination with
chemometrics for the prediction of antioxidant activities. Sidaguri was planted and
cultivated for the third, fourth, and fifth months and then evaluated for its antioxidant
activities, phenolic contents, and flavonoid contents. Sidaguri samples were also subjected
to FTIR spectral measurement to be correlated with scavenging activity toward 2,2′-
diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic
acid. The results showed that the longer harvesting time tends to lower the antioxidant
activities which can be associated with the lower bioactive components responsible for
antioxidant activities. Partial least square applied to 1st derivative FTIR spectra using
absorbances at wavenumbers of 3700-650 cm-1
provide the best modelling for correlation
between actual values of antioxidant and predicted values with R2
-calibration and R2
-
validation of 0.9995 and 0.9998, with the root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC),
the root mean square error of calibration (RMSEP) values of 0.0674 and 0.0827, PRESS
and the root-mean-square error of cross-validation (RMSECV) values 0.226 and 0.194,
respectively. The chemometrics of principal component analysis (PCA) could separate
Sidaguri samples harvested during different months. FTIR spectra in combination with
chemometrics could be an alternative method for the prediction of antioxidant activities of
Sidaguri with acceptable accuracy and precision.
The determination of unapproved drugs in New Zealand dietary supplements
using validated chromatographic methods
Authors: Kurniawan W. , Doncliff J. , McCarthy M.H. , Miskelly G.M. , RIndelaub J.D.
Published: January 2024

In line with the increasing popularity of dietary supplements, adulteration of these
products is becoming more common globally. In this study, validated LC and GC methods
were used to test 68 dietary supplements found in the New Zealand online marketplace,
spanning products advertised for sexual enhancement and weight loss. Of the sexual
enhancement supplements, 11% of those tested contained an unapproved substance that
was not listed on the product label, with the erectile dysfunction drug tadalafil and the
prescription medicine yohimbine detected in these samples. For the product that contained
tadalafil, a consumer taking the listed maximum serving size would consume more than
double the maximum daily recommended dose for tadalafil (>40 mg). While no
unapproved substances were detected in weight loss supplements, high caffeine levels
were observed, with two weight loss supplements having listed maximum daily serving
sizes that corresponded to greater than 400 mg caffeine. Caffeine was also detected in one
sexual enhancement product that did not list caffeine or tea extract on its label. While
these results represent a subset of the dietary supplements available, the observation of
high-risk products indicates that stricter regulations may be warranted to protect
consumers from unknowingly ingesting prescription medicine.

Authors: Kampani Drishti D , Samara Kamel A , Algebail Hommam , Al Shihabi Ola , Barqawi Hiba Jawdat
Published: January 2024

Background: Hepatitis C affects nearly 58 million people worldwide, the majority of whom live in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. There is limited data about hepatitis C disease or its knowledge in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Aim: This study assessed knowledge about hepatitis C and barriers to screening for it in the UAE. Methods: This exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional study evaluated 1083 participants using a convenience sampling method. Participants aged 18 and above, literate in English or Arabic, were included in the study. The validated questionnaire was administered online and distributed across social media platforms from November 2020 to February 2021 and responses were analysed using Python. Results: Mean knowledge score was 11.83 (SD = 7.28). Knowledge was average with 57.52% (n = 489 of 850) of respondents achieving a moderate knowledge score, but poor awareness about treatment options were noted. Only 54.12% (n = 460 of 850) were aware that treatment was possible and 24.10% (n = 205 of 850) knew that there was no vaccine for hepatitis C. Field of work (P < 0.001), marital status (P < 0.001) and perceived knowledge (P < 0.001) were statistically significant predictors of knowledge score. Lack of insurance coverage for testing and limited knowledge about hepatitis C were identified as the most common barriers to getting tested. Conclusion: The UAE community has moderate knowledge about hepatitis C but a poor understanding of available preventive and treatment options. Targeted outreach programmes, particularly for high-risk groups, are needed to improve community awareness of hepatitis C.

Published: January 2024

Background: Understanding the main determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake is critical to increasing vaccine coverage. This is particularly important for COVID-19 vaccine uptake, which has been affected by both demand and supply issues. Aim: To understand the links between vaccine uptake and demand and supply issues in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean and UNICEF Middle East and North Africa regions. Methods: We collected data through 2 rounds of a repeated cross-sectional phone survey from 11 000 individuals across 16 low- and middle-income countries. We used logit modelling to distil the main characteristics of the 4 vaccination categories (vaccinated, unvaccinated but willing, unvaccinated and undecided, and unvaccinated and unwilling) while also considering vaccine availability. We conducted sub-regional analysis to account for differences in level of development between the low- and middle-income countries. Results: Despite the increase in vaccination coverage from 60.9% at the end of 2021 to 78.3% by August 2022, about 9% were not willing and were not vaccinated during the two rounds of interviews. Our modelling analysis revealed that positive beliefs about safety, effectiveness and side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines were associated with increased odds of being vaccinated or willingness to be vaccinated. Those who did not believe in the safety of the vaccines were less likely to be vaccinated than those who believed in the safety of the vaccines (OR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.46–0.67). By contrast, negative beliefs about the COVID-19 vaccines increased the probability of being unwilling to be vaccinated. Conclusion: The results from this research offer useful insights into tackling the supply and demand related barriers to COVID-19 vaccination uptake and provides lessons for future health threats.

Background: Dengue and chikungunya are mosquito-borne infections that are spreading rapidly worldwide. The highest burden lies in tropical and subtropical countries. In 2022 Sudan encountered the most widespread infection of both diseases. Aim: To describe the magnitude of the first outbreak of dengue and chikungunya infections in Tandalti Town, White Nile State, southern part of Sudan. Methods: Following the report of a high number of undifferentiated febrile illnesses in 32 health clinics in Tandalti Town, an area with high densities of Aedes aegypti, we collected blood samples from symptomatic suspected cases. The samples were tested for major arboviral infections using arboviral-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (IgM capture ELISA), and serologically positive samples were confirmed using commercially available Real Time RT-PCR Kits. Results: Out of 773 suspected cases, 63 (8.15%) were confirmed. Eleven (17.46%) of the confirmed cases were DENV, 49 (77.77%) were CHIKV, and 3 (4.76%) were DENV and CHIKV co-infections. The outbreak started at the beginning of October and ended by mid December 2022. Both dengue and chikungunya infection was higher (41(65.08%)) among young females than males (22 (34.92%)). Conclusions: White Nile State may experience larger outbreaks of dengue and chikungunya in the future, there is, therefore, an urgent need for proper vector control interventions in the state and nearby states.

Authors: Yaakob Mohd Aizul bin
Published: January 2024

Kritik hadis merupakan antara disiplin penting dalam menilai kesahihan sesuatu hadis. Medan kritik hadis boleh dibahagikan kepada dua, iaitu kritik sanad dan matan hadis. Terdapat sebahagian orientalis menjelaskan bahawa para sarjana hadis hanya memberi fokus kepada kritik sanad sahaja dan mengabaikan kritik matan hadis. Justeru terdapat kelompongan dalam penilaian mereka. Dakwaan ini adalah satu kesilapan, bahkan telah dibuktikan dengan praktikal al-Daraqutni sendiri melalui kitab al-‘Ilal al Waridah fi al-Ahadith al-Nabawiyyah. Kajian ini adalah berbentuk kualitatif dan data sepenuhnya dikumpulkan berdasarkan kaedah analisis dokumen. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat sekurang-kurangnya enam metodologi kritik matan hadis yang telah dipraktikkan oleh al-Daraqutni dalam kitab al-‘Ilal al-Waridah fi al-Ahadith al-Nabawiyyah. Dapatan ini juga secara tidak langsung menyangkal dakwaan sebahagian orientalis yang menyatakan terdapat kelompongan dalam wacana kritik hadis sarjana hadis. Dapatan ini juga sekaligus menonjolkan ketokohan al-Daraqutni dalam bidang hadis dan kedudukan kitabnya iaitu al-‘Ilal al-Waridah fi al-Ahadith al-Nabawiyyah.
Reinterpretation of Halal Tourism Hadith in DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 108 of 2016
Authors: Afif Muhammad , Su’aidi Hasan , Marwan bin Mohammad Amin
Published: January 2024

The focus of this paper is on the quality and understanding of the hadith in the DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 108 of 2016 concerning halal tourism. The use of hadith as a source of fatwas is important, especially with regard to the legality of an Islamic perspective. However, like a fatwa, this hadith is not followed by an explanation regarding the quality of the hadith and how to understand the meaning that comes from the hadith so that it can be used as a source of fatwa. On the one hand, it must be ensured that the hadith can be accounted for as originating in the Prophet, both in sanad and matan so that its use has high validity. In addition, the existence of hadith when it was born has a distance in time and space that is quite far so whether reinterpretation is needed or not.

Authors: Zulfikar Eko , Rosyad Aftonur
Published: January 2024

This article attempts to examine the methodology of interpretation in the classic commentary text by Abdullah bin Wahb al-Mishri, namely the book al-Jami' Tafsir al-Qur'an. This is motivated by the existence of a study of ancient manuscripts attributed to Ibn Wahb through transmission. The object of study is al-Jami' Tafsir al-Qur'an by Abdullah bin Wahb al-Mishri which is the result of research (tahqiq and ta'liq) from Miklos Muranyi in 1939. By using a qualitative-descriptive method, this article concludes that: the method used by Abdullah bin Wahb al-Miṣrī can be viewed from 4 points of view; sources of interpretation using bi al-ra'yī, the breadth of explanation uses ijmālī, the goals and systematics use mauḍū'ī and the tendency of interpretation uses bi al-riwāyah.
These results indicate that the book of commentaries does not only use a single method in its preparation so that al-Miṣrī makes his book an answer that the compilation of the book of interpretations of the Qur'an is not single, but mono-method, or in methodological terms using comparisons.
Assessing the Impact of Macroeconomic Variables on Project-Based Sukuk in Indonesia
Authors: Primayanti Yuanisa Maulina , * Marwini
Published: January 2024

This study is aimed at examining the influence of variables such as Infrastructure Budget, Bank Indonesia Rate, Money Supply, and Bank Indonesia Sharia Certificate on Project-Based Sukuk over short and long-term periods. The research also evaluates the response given by Project-Based Sukuk to shocks in these variables, as well as their contributions to variations in Project-Based Sukuk. The Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) method, implemented through Eviews 10, was utilized in this study which employed monthly secondary data spanning the period 2016-2020. The findings suggest that, in the short term, the Infrastructure Budget variable positively affects PBS. Conversely, in the long term, the Money Supply variable negatively influences PBS. BI rate and Bank Indonesia Sharia Certificate variables appear to have no significant effect on PBS in either the short or long term. The Impulse Response Function test reveals that PBS responds positively to shocks in the Infrastructure Budget, negatively to shocks in the Bank Indonesia Sharia Certificate, and variably to shocks in the BI Rate and Money Supply. The Forecasting Error Variance Decomposition test indicates that PBS exerts the most significant influence on variance explanation. Sukuk is proposed as a viable alternative to bridge the financing gap for infrastructure development. The government is therefore urged to preserve economic stability, particularly concerning the Infrastructure Budget from the State Budget and the Money Supply, given their impact on sukuk development, which is crucial for infrastructure progression in Indonesia.

However, at the refreezing stage, many BLKKs were difficult to develop. Because this stage needs to a spirit of entrepreneurship and independence that can take advantage of the existing potential, such as; the open mind set of the Islamic boarding school, the figures and influence of the kiai who can expand the external collaboration network, spreading alumni throughout the communities, and the BLKK building and equipment used as a production house and a place to improve the quality of human resources. The implication is the importance of the entrepreneurial attitude of Islamic boarding school BLKK managers in realizing the economic empowerment of Islamic boarding schools
