Published: August 2024

The Pacific Islands Region is in the spotlight due to rising tensions between China and the U.S. This situation has escalated with China offering security pacts to Pacific Islands states in 2022. Despite most Pacific states rejecting the offer, the Solomon Islands, as the only country to accept it, caused concern for the U.S. and its allies. Considering that the Solomon Islands lack the traditional power to support their decision to align with China against the U.S. and its allies, it is an intriguing issue to delve into. This research aims to analyze the phenomenon by using qualitative-descriptive methods and the concept of Small States. This will give us a new way to understand how small states in the Pacific Ocean maneuver amidst the US-China rivalry by analyzing strategic indicators they can utilize rather than solely focusing on domestic circumstances to comprehend their decisions. We found that the Solomon Islands' ability to take such a risk stems from two sources of power: particular-intrinsic and derivative power. Intrinsically, the Solomon Islands hold geopolitical importance, being strategically crucial for both China's Belt and Road initiative and the U.S.'s attempt to retain its regional influence. Derivatively, the Solomon Islands' sole position to accept the security pact is highly valued by China. This will lead to a mutually beneficial relationship among them, and the Solomon Islands can benefit in security and economic terms. This research sheds light on how a small state navigates its interest in the epicenter of rivalry between two great powers.Keywords: China-US rivalry; Pacific Islands Region; small states; Solomon Islands

Published: August 2024

Learning in Regular Classroom（LRC）is a crucial approach for addressing the educational placement of children with special needs and implementing the philosophy of inclusive education. However, children with autism face significant challenges in inclusive settings due to difficulties in social interaction, communication, and behaviors. This study employs a qualitative research method, interviewing parents of children with autism whose children have completed compulsory education in regular schools in Beijing, to explore the practical challenges of implementing LRC policy the findings reveal conflicts between the ideal and the reality of policy implementation. Families of children with autism encounter challenges related to school placement, adaptation, and support due to incomplete policy regulations, inadequate policy execution, and insufficient educational support. To ensure the effective implementation of inclusive education, a deeper reflection and adjustment of the LRC policy are necessary. This study provides valuable insights from a parental perspective into the challenges faced by children with autism in China under the LRC policy, aiming to inform future policy development and implementation.

Published: August 2024

Objective: Collagen is a fibrous protein that confers strength and flexibility on bone and other body tissues, such as the skin and tendons, and is the main component of the extracellular matrix. It is used in cosmetics for its anti-aging activity. The primary source of commercial collagen is pig skin, but its use is imperfect due to halal concerns and the risk of biological contamination. Therefore, this research was conducted to identify alternate sources of collagen derived from fish. This study used the swim bladders of catfish that were not consumed and sought to separate the collagen from and use it in a safe anti-ageing serum for humans.
Methods: Three formulations of 1%, 2%, and 3% collagen were developed in the laboratory using experimental methods. The three formulations were then evaluated for physical stability and in vivo irritation.
Results: Physical quality testing showed that the 1%, 2%, and 3% formulations remained stable at room, low, and high temperatures. However, in the irritation test, the 2% and 3% formulations resulted in mild erythema after 24, 48, and 72 h under constant conditions.
Conclusion: The 1% formula was confirmed stable and safe.

Authors: Chandore Hemant Dnyaneshwar
Published: August 2024

Rapid urbanization and concrete indoor living environments are posing challenges to human beings and their beloved pets in terms of indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Raising indoor plants has the potential to not only control indoor air quality, but also maintain psychological comfort and health. In the recent COVID-19 pandemic period, indoor plants have highlighted the importance of these plants in their overall maintenance of health and mental well-being. It is highly recommended to plant this tree after reviewing various research benefits. Keeping in mind the above view, we reviewed recent studies on indoor plants and their benefits in improving indoor environments like quality air index, temperature, humidity, etc., as well as providing psychological benefits. This systematic review of the literature demonstrates that various plant species effectively remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other pollutatns, reduce stress, and boost cognitive function. Some important strategies, such as phytoremediation, which uses bi-directional phytofilters and endophytic bacteria, offer the best air purification with well-being and cognitive performance, promoting biophilic design in indoor spaces. Studies are investigating the relationship between indoor plants and various pollutants, taking into account factors such as light intensity and plant species that play key roles in bi-directional phytofilters. In spite of some challenges, integrating plants into healthier indoor environments. Future research should refine plant selection, optimize growth conditions, and explore new technologies for better air quality and well-being.
Association of a NLRP3 rs10754558 Polymorphism with the Development of Chronic Helicobacter pylori Infection in South Indian Tamils

Published: August 2024

The increased prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and inadequate genetic research on the same, demands a genetic study among Tamil population of South India to unravel the association of NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) variants with persistent H. pylori infection. This research was aimed to study the correlation between persistent H. pylori infection and influence of such genetic variants in the development of disease progression. In this study, 200 healthy volunteers and 120 H. pylori-positive cases were screened for two NLRP3 variants, rs74163773 and rs10754558, using allele-specific PCR and TaqManTM SNP genotyping assay, respectively. Based on our genotype and allelic distribution, rs74163773 variant did not associate with the risk of developing the persistent infection. However, a significant association of heterozygous CG variant of rs10754558 with patient showing clinical symptoms of gastritis, PUD and persistent infection in the over-dominant, co-dominant and recessive models was found. Our findings suggest that persistent H. pylori infection susceptibility was influenced by genetic variant rs10754558 and its heterozygous CG variant can serve as an independent risk factor in the manifestation of chronic gastritis and PUD in the South Indian Tamils.
Quantum Reference Frames for Lorentz Symmetry
Authors: Apadula Luca , Castro-Ruiz Esteban , Brukner Časlav
Published: August 2024

Since their first introduction, Quantum Reference Frame (QRF) transformations have been extensively discussed, generalising the covariance of physical laws to the quantum domain. Despite important progress, a formulation of QRF transformations for Lorentz symmetry is still lacking. The present work aims to fill this gap. We first introduce a reformulation of relativistic quantum mechanics independent of any notion of preferred temporal slicing. Based on this, we define transformations that switch between the perspectives of different relativistic QRFs. We introduce a notion of ''quantum Lorentz transformations'' and ''superposition of Lorentz boosts'', acting on the external degrees of freedom of a quantum particle. We analyse two effects, superposition of time dilations and superposition of length contractions, that arise only if the reference frames exhibit both relativistic and quantum-mechanical features. Finally, we discuss how the effects could be observed by measuring the wave-packet extensions from relativistic QRFs.
Study of noise in virtual distillation circuits for quantum error mitigation
Authors: Vikstål Pontus , Ferrini Giulia , Puri Shruti
Published: August 2024

Virtual distillation has been proposed as an error mitigation protocol for estimating the expectation values of observables in quantum algorithms. It proceeds by creating a cyclic permutation of M noisy copies of a quantum state using a sequence of controlled-swap gates. If the noise does not shift the dominant eigenvector of the density operator away from the ideal state, then the error in expectation-value estimation can be exponentially reduced with M. In practice, subsequent error mitigation techniques are required to suppress the effect of noise in the cyclic permutation circuit itself, leading to increased experimental complexity. Here, we perform a careful analysis of the effect of uncorrelated, identical noise in the cyclic permutation circuit and find that the estimation of expectation value of observables are robust against dephasing noise. We support the analytical result with numerical simulations and find that 67% of errors are reduced for M=2, with physical dephasing error probabilities as high as 10%. Our results imply that a broad class of quantum algorithms can be implemented with higher accuracy in the near-term with qubit platforms where non-dephasing errors are suppressed, such as superconducting bosonic qubits and Rydberg atoms.
Pretorianismo y años de Plomo: su receptividad en experiencias de Posguerra Fría
Authors: Aranda Bustamante Gilberto , Cardenas Zanatta Ana Vanessa
Published: August 2024

El artículo revisa parte de la vasta literatura acerca del militarismo latinoamericano del siglo XX, testeando la incidencia castrense en la región, tanto en gobiernos populistas como en los también llamados “Años de Plomo”. Nos interesa su proyección sobre regímenes neopopulistas y autoritarios. Lo anterior supone verificar distintas expresiones militaristas. Nuestra hipótesis es que la preponderancia del sector castrense en regímenes de distinta orientación política funciona como eslabón semiótico (tubérculo aglutinador), mediante el cual es posible conectar experiencias políticamente antinómicas, como las dictaduras de la seguridad nacional y los militarismos progresistas, ambos definidos por la autonomía preminente de la esfera militar. Finalmente nos abocaremos a observar como este legado pretoriano continuó hacia finales del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI en gobiernos populistas y regímenes híbridos.
Intelectuales políticos peruanos de los años 60. Una primera aproximación
Authors: Lozoya Ivette
Published: August 2024

Pese a la rica tradición intelectual de la izquierda peruana cuyo punto más alto son las reflexiones de Mariátegui, la década del sesenta no ha sido analizada en la intersección que se genera entre los intelectuales y las propuestas políticas revolucionarias de este periodo. A diferencia de esto, la participación o tensión entre los intelectuales y el velasquismo y las reflexiones que se generaron en los 80 sobre la violencia y el actuar de Sendero Luminosos, si han tenido relevancia para la historiografía, sin embargo, creemos que esta aproximación ha destacado la subordinación del campo intelectual al político, en lugar de destacarlo como espacios integrados y en constante diálogo.
Teniendo en consideración estos aspectos, el siguiente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar los vínculos y espacios de confluencia entre intelectuales y las guerrillas de los años sesenta en el Perú identificando las formas, los espacios y los protagonistas en esta relación.
Este texto es una primera aproximación al tema como parte de un proyecto más amplio que busca analizar los espacios político-culturales en el país andino entre las décadas del sesenta y hasta el inicio de los años noventa.

Epley Maneuver Skills in Primary Care: 3D Semicircular Canal Models for Self-Learning
Authors: Kita Keiichiro , Watanabe Kazuhiro , Saito Mayuko , Kuroiwa Maiko
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Posterior canal-type benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is commonly treated using the Epley maneuver; however, the maneuver’s use in primary care is limited by insufficient expertise. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a three-dimensional (3D) semicircular canal model as a self-learning tool for primary care physicians to improve their Epley maneuver technique.
Methods: Thirty-one participants (18 family physicians, seven residents, and six medical students) performed the Dix–Hallpike maneuver on a nursing manikin, followed by the Epley maneuver on the covered 3D models before and after a 5-minute self-study period with the uncovered 3D model. We measured the number of moved beads from posterior canal into the utricle of the 3D model, time spent on the Epley maneuver, and head suspension angle of the Dix–Hallpike maneuver.
Results: Preintervention performance was divided into a skilled group (n=7) that could move almost all the beads and an unskilled group (n=24) that could move a few beads. Postintervention, the unskilled group members significantly improved their skill: The average moved beads increased from 0.35 to 8.00, maneuver time from 26.1 to 35.8 seconds, and head suspension angle from 10.3° to 16.4°. Most participants recognized the importance of correct positioning and spent adequate time.
Conclusions: The 3D model was effective as a self-learning tool for improving Epley maneuver performance, particularly for less experienced practitioners. This approach could bridge the gap between evidence and practice in primary care for BPPV treatment, enhancing patient outcomes and reducing the need for specialist referrals.
“Theatre of the Past” in the Literary Space of A.N. Tolstoy’s Peter the Great
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kaplun Marianna V.
Published: August 2024

In the literary space of the first book of A.N. Tolstoy’s novel Peter the Great special attention is paid to references to theatre and theatrical activities of individual characters. The recollection of N.K. Naryshkina and her associates on the theatre in the second chapter has not so much a historical as a symbolic significance. In the second chapter there is an episode related to the theatrical activity of Princess Sophia, which is of interest for source studies. In the third chapter there is a scene of the establishment of the most jesting, most drunken and extravagant cathedral, one of the contrivances of Peter the Great for entertainment, carnival performances. In the novel theatre, as a Western kind of entertainment, correlates precisely with activities of the German Quarter, following the historical truth. From the nature of theatre scenes, we can conclude that Tolstoy could rely on the historical research of the Russian theatre by N.S. Tikhonravov, as evidenced by writer’s notes in the book. References to the theatre are woven into the artistic structure of the novel and help to reveal the characters’ personalities, adding ‘features to the portrait’ of Peter, his associates and opponents, and also make it interesting to search for possible novel sources.
“Egyptians Are Reincarnating!”: Alexey Tolstoy and Andrey Bely — Characters of Voloshin and Steiner (the Story of a Legend)
Authors: Tolstaya Elena D.
Published: August 2024

The article is about one of the episodes related to Alexei Tolstoy in the life of literary Petersburg in the late 1900s. In 1909, a young writer who returned from Western Europe was introduced to V.I. Ivanov. When visiting the “tower” in a conversation about anthroposophy and anthroposophists, he made a mistake, which he wrote about at the same time in a letter to his friend M.A. Voloshin. Subsequently, this story was mentioned in the book by I.G. Ehrenburg People, years, life. The source of the information contained in it, according to the author himself, was Voloshin’s story. The article is devoted to the analysis of this text, which sounds like a classic literary joke, in the context of Tolstoy’s biography and his relationship with the representatives of literary Petersburg in the 1900s.
P.A. Markov on Moscow Productions of Alexey Tolstoy’s Factory of Youth and Isaac Babel’s Sunset
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Pogorelskaia Elena I.
Published: August 2024

A.N. Tolstoy’s play The Factory of Youth and Sunset by I.E. Babel created at the same time (late 1927 — early 1928) have nothing in common neither in artistic nor thematic terms. The first one is a lyrical comedy with elements of science fiction, the second is a drama based on the eternal conflict of fathers and children. Tolstoy wrote many plays, and The Factory of Youth is one of them, Sunset is one of two Babel’s plays, his debut in theatre. The first show of The Factory of Youth was held at the Moscow Drama Theater (ex. Korsha) in the production of V.A. Krieger on December 28, 1927, the premiere of Sunset staged by B.M. Sushkevich at the Moscow Art Theater-2 was held on February 28, 1928. Both productions were unsuccessful. Tolstoy’s play was staged in an extremely short time: the premiere was preceded by 12 rehearsals. Sunset was misread by the director. A critical review of these two plays is contained in a large article by P.A. Markov Essays on theatrical life. To the search for a theatrical style, published in Novyi Mir journal (1928. № 4). The second section of the article The theatre of daily routine or the theatre of life is devoted to the analysis of The Factory of Youth and Sunset, in which there was a place to compare the two plays from the point of view of their philosophical meaning. Paying tribute to the great talent of both playwrights, Markov reproached Tolstoy for not finding sufficient application of his gift in The Factory of Youth, while Babel for choosing the irrelevant topic. In both cases, the theatres did not cope with the stage task: The Factory of Youth was staged hastily and carelessly, Sunset was misunderstood by the director and the actors involved in the performance.
Unknown Review by B.M. Runt on the Production of A.N. Tolstoy’s Play Rapists at the Maly Theatre
Authors:   University of Turku, Simonova Olga A.
Published: August 2024

Early 20th century women’s magazines are a scantily explored source. There are a lot of unaccounted texts in them that complement researchers’ view on the Russian literature history. Translator, journalist, theatre critic Bronislava Matveevna Runt (1885–1983) wrote a column Stage and Bandstand in the Women’s Business magazine (1910–1918), where she published her reviews on Moscow theatre productions. We have discovered a previously unknown Runt’s review on A.N. Tolstoy’s comedy The Rapists (1913). The play was staged at the Maly Theatre and caused extremely mixed responses from both public and reviewers. Runt criticized the storyline twists, found some flaws in the plot. But in general, she appreciated the play positively, welcomed the arrival of a talented, original playwright. As a critic, Runt always paid attention to ‘new heroines’ in plays who challenged the existing social order. Perhaps Runt was interested in this production due to the image of the insurance agent Nina, who was a type of independent, self-earning woman.

Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bystrova Olga V.
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the artistic space features in A.N. Tolstoy’s novel Aelita. The flight of the novel protagonists, an engineer Elk and a Red Army soldier Gusev, is viewed through the prism of symbolic understanding of the planets, Earth and Mars, relationship. This is facilitated by thinking about the variants of the ‘ball’ symbol and the so-called ‘magnification effect’ of ground objects. At the emotional level, the feelings of the novel characters who find themselves outside Earth are considered. This allows you to see / feel the plasticity of the spatial form transformation and its role in the literary text structure.

Mal-estar docente na universidade mercantilista: novo negócio e antigo apartheid
Authors: Sena Isael de Jesus , Lajonquière Leandro de , Pereira Marcelo Ricardo
Published: August 2024

Os desafios evidenciados pela universalização dos direitos por meio do acesso à universidade mercantilista, que excede a questão da origem popular e/ou da tradicional oposição homogeneidade cultural versus heterogeneidade, colocam um conjunto de vicissitudes para o professor, que interroga a si mesmo e que considera digno ou ignóbil endereçar sua palavra professoral aos destinatários com o objetivo de possibilitar a vivência de uma experiência formativa. O nosso problema, como sociedade brasileira, consiste no fato de que instalamos nacionalmente o imaginário de que alguns são mais capazes, enquanto outros estão impossibilitados em razão de suas origens. Essa fantasia tanto orienta os professores, por meio de um raciocínio baseado em um apartheid sociopsicopedagógico, como serve de fundamento para algumas políticas inspiradas no caráter de exceção. Como resultado, são excluídas a dimensão desejante do professor e a implicação subjetiva do aluno em sua passagem pela experiência da vida universitária.

Composto por uma dimensão afetiva (afetos) e uma cognitiva (satisfação com a vida), o bem-estar subjetivo é apontado como um fator que impacta a saúde mental, sendo prejudicado pela presença de ansiedade. Diante disso, a pesquisa avaliou os níveis de ansiedade e bem-estar em uma amostra composta por 172 estudantes de Ensino Técnico, com idades entre 15 e 51 anos (M=19,51; DP=6,70), 68% do sexo feminino. A Escala de Afetos Positivos e Negativos, Escala de Satisfação com a Vida e a Generalized Anxiety Disorder foram utilizadas. Os resultados indicaram correlação positiva e significativa entre os construtos positivos (satisfação com a vida e afetos positivos) e entre os negativos (afetos negativos e ansiedade). A variável sexo exerceu influência significativa na maior parte das medidas, sendo a média mais elevada apresentada pelos homens nos construtos positivos e, pelas mulheres, nos construtos negativos. Em relação à faixa etária, afetos positivos e ansiedade se mostram influenciados por tal variável, sendo o primeiro mais baixo nos participantes de menor idade e, o segundo, nos de maior idade. Sugere-se que os achados possam ser replicados, envolvendo diferentes perfis de estudantes, de modo a fornecer bases para a elaboração de estratégias de manutenção de saúde mental.

This study demonstrates the usage intention of mobile banking services by Pakistanis living in peri-urban areas of Punjab in the time of COVID-19 emergency by adapting the technology acceptance model (TAM) and technology model of readiness (TR). Understanding the relationships between the determinants of usage intention helps the management of Pakistani banks to run the gamut in its mobile banking services in Pakistani outskirts even when the COVID-19 pandemic is over. To test this relationship, data was collected (n=392) from the four largest cities of Punjab by using convenience sampling techniques. The data was analyzed by hierarchical regression using SPSS 19. The results indicate that the proposed model verified the effect of Positive TR (Optimism, Innovation) and hostile TR (Insecurity, Discomfort), perceived usefulness and behavioral intention towards the use of mobile banking, especially in the period of COVID-19 pandemic. It appears that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the psychological processes of people living in peri-urban (Lahore, Faisalabad and Multan) and outskirts to use mobile banking services continuingly. This research examined the perception of people living in the peri-urban areas of Punjab, Pakistan, to use mobile banking services for initially applying the Technology Readiness acceptance model (TRAM) with distinct roles of Technology readiness. Furthermore, mediating effects of perceived usefulness are determined between TR and Behavioral intention regarding the use of mobile banking.

Background/Aim. The etiology of polyneuropathy (PNP) in patients with Parkinson?s disease (PD) is unclear, and there is a possible association between levodopa therapy, hyperhomocysteinemia, and PNP development due to methylation processes involving vitamin B12 and folic acid. The aim of this study was to analyze the difference in clinical presentation and disease severity between PD patients with and without PNP and to evaluate blood levels of vitamin B12, homocysteine, and folic acid in these patients. Methods. This cross-sectional study included 200 consecutive patients diagnosed with PD, divided into two groups: those with PNP and those without PNP. Diagnosis of PNP was confirmed by electromyoneurography. The first group consisted of 50 patients with PD with confirmed PNP, and the second 50 patients with PD without PNP. All patients were receiving levodopa therapy. Laboratory tests analyzed vitamin B12, folic acid, and homocysteine levels. Results. Patients with PNP were older when PNP was diagnosed (71 vs. 66 years, p < 0.0001), without differences in duration of levodopa therapy (p = 0.359) or daily dose (p = 0.442), and with significant motor impairment according to Unified Parkinson?s Disease Rating Scale III (p = 0.017). No difference was found between groups for vitamin B12 (p = 1.0), folic acid (p = 0.124), and homocysteine (p = 0.313) serum levels. Conclusion. PD patients with PNP have a more pronounced motor deficit, while differences in vitamin B12, homocysteine, and folic acid values compared to the group without PNP were not registered.
Hvem er redd for utdanningsvitenskap?

Published: August 2024

En ukritisk omfavnelse av utdanningsvitenskap står i fare for å overse at pedagogikk er en selvstendig vitenskap med sine egne grunnbegreper og sitt eget unike samfunnsmandat. Samtidig er ikke utdanningsvitenskapens eksistens nødvendigvis en trussel for pedagogikken. I denne kronikken argumenterer vi for å se pedagogikk og utdanningsvitenskap som sideordnede og gjensidig berikende vitenskaper.
English abstract
Who is Afraid of Educational Science?
An uncritical acceptance of “educational science” (utdanningsvitenskap) as a term may overlook the fact that pedagogy is a distinct and autonomous science with its own core concepts and distinct role in society. Nevertheless, educational science does not necessarily impose a threat for pedagogy. In this text we argue that pedagogy and educational science may be parallel sciences, mutually beneficial to each other.

Vaccines have long been used globally as preventive and therapeutic agents against various diseases. Global necessity of coseffective, edible and functional food based vaccine development has led the vaccine scientists search for multiple agents that would act either directly as vaccine or as vaccine adjuvant. In this article, the potentiality of edible and medicinal mushrooms or mushroom bio-components’ as vaccine adjuvants or as direct edible vaccines have critically been reviewed. Outcomes of the present article would be of immense importance to the immunologists, vaccine scientists and health-care professionals and policy makers worldwide.
Perawatan Kulit Kering pada Lansia

Published: August 2024

Kulit kering atau xerosis kutis merupakan kondisi kulit yang mengalami kekurangan kandungan air di stratum korneum. Kondisi tersebut sering terjadi pada lansia akibat menurunnya aktivitas kelenjar keringat, sebasea, gangguan keratinisasi serta menurunnya jumlah seramid dan natural mosturizing factor (NMF) atau kondisi penyakit lainnya.  Kasus kulit kering di Indonesia dilaporkan pada tahun 2008 hingga 2013 di RSCM sebanyak 63,78%. Gejala kulit kering adalah gatal dengan lesi mulai dari eritema, skuama hingga berfisura yang predileksinya pada ekstensor tungkai bawah dan panggul. Perawatan kulit kering meliputi pemberian pelembab topikal, perubahan gaya hidup dan penyesuaian terhadap lingkungan. Penggunaan emolien dan petrolatum disarankan mengandung 10% urea atau 5% asam laktat digunakan dua kali sehari segera setelah mandi. Pemilihan sediaan pelembab menyesuaikan derajat xerosis dan kenyamanan pasien. Dianjurkan menghindari pelembab yang mengandung agen iritatif atau memicu sensitisasi kulit. Modifikasi kebiasaan seperti durasi mandi yang singkat, penggunaan sabun yang tepat dan kelembaban lingkungan juga penting bagi perawatan kulit kering.
Design Fault Tolerant Full Adder Using Fault Localization

Many reasons lead to errors in digital circuits. some of these errors are often transient (including electromagnetic fields, cosmic radiation, and noise) and others permanent (a result of poor manufacturing, and storage). in two cases they leave a negative impact on the operation of these circuits. The size of these circuits is too small compared with their function and accuracy. these circuits are very sensitive to such errors, whether they are transient or permanent. The impact of transient errors on these circuits can be catastrophic in high-performance computing systems, where multiple processing units are used. Due to the importance of the Full Adder as a basic structure in building processors, a small-size fault-tolerant Full Adder is proposed in this paper. The proposed Full Adder possesses a high ability to detect and repair errors. The proposed design has a high reliability during work in real-time compared with previous designs.
Eco-Maqāṣid in Climate Change Campaigns: From an Ecolinguistics Study to the Philosophy of Islamic Law

Published: August 2024

This article aims to uncover ‘eco-maqāṣid’, an Islamic legal philosophy related to environmental awareness. Using a multimodality approach, the study begins by understanding the textual and visual meaning of climate change campaigns with  Islamic themes on the @greenpeace.id Instagram account. The data were further explored through ecolinguistic studies to reveal The Stories We Live By, Ecological Philosophy (ecosophy), and Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah. The findings show that the type of story constructed through the representation of the relationship between images and text is predominantly in the category of Salience, highlighting the importance of maqāṣid principles to environmental aspects. The principle of hifz al-nafs supports the promotion of environmental sustainability to protect Muslim health from the impacts of climate change. Hifz al-māl plays a role in the efforts of mitigation and adaptation to the threats of climate change to protect the assets and economic well-being of Muslim communities. Hifz al-nasl is related to the sustainable prese­­­rvation of Islamic rituals, holidays, and cultural traditions. Meanwhile, hifz al-dīn is reflected in the endeavor to care for the environment as a religious duty manifested from Quranic verses and Hadith. Hifz al-‘aql resonates with strengthening environmental education through Ulama advice and Islamic ethics. Finally, all ḍarūriyyāt al-khams advocates for the protection of all elements in nature. This integration of maqāṣid into ecosophy illustrates how Islamic principles guide environmental management against climate change, creating a framework called ‘eco-maqāṣid’.
