MAQASHID AL-SYARIAH KESEPAKATAN PASANGAN SUAMI ISTERI TIDAK MEMILIKI ANAK (CHILDFREE) DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Syarif Muhammad , Furqan Furqan
Published: July 2023

Abstract: Childfree reaps many pros and cons, then what is the law in Islam if a husband and wife decide not to have children. This library research study aims to explain the position of childfree (unwillingness to have children) within the framework of Islamic law by using the maqashid al-shari'ah theories. The results of this study indicate that deciding to be childfree is due to financial reasons and academic education. Having a child is not just about giving birth but also having to be prepared to create quality children so that it costs quite a lot to get a proper education. In Islamic law, marriage has several purposes, one of which is to get offspring (hifẓ an-nasl). Therefore, if a husband and wife marry and deliberately decide not to have children, then this decision is contrary to Islamic law.Keywords:  Husband and wife; Childfree; Islamic Law.Abstrak: Childfree menuai banyak pro dan kontra, lalu bagaimana hukumnya dalam Islam apabila pasangan suami istri memutuskan untuk tidak memiliki anak. Penelitian studi kepustakaan (library research) ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan kedudukan childfree (keengganan untuk memiliki keturunan) dalam kerangka hukum Islam dengan menggunakan teori maqashid al-syariah. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa memutuskan childfree karena alasan finansial dan pendidikan akademik. Memiliki anak tidak hanya sekedar melahirkan tetapi juga harus dipersiapkan untuk menciptakan anak yang berkualitas sehingga membutuhkan biaya yang cukup banyak untuk mendapatkan pendidikan yang layak. Dalam hukum Islam perkawinan memiliki beberapa tujuan, salah satunya adalah untuk mendapatkan keturunan (hifẓ an-nasl). Oleh sebab itu, apabila pasangan suami istri menikah dan memutuskan dengan sengaja untuk tidak memiliki anak maka keputusan ini bertentangan dengan hukum Islam.Kata Kunci: Suami Istri; Childfree; Hukum Islam.

Published: July 2023

Idiopathic purpura fulminans (IPF) is a rare but severe prothrombotic
coagulation disorder. Acquired IPF is usually due to a cross-reactivity
against virus and anticoagulant proteins; Protein C and less commonly
Protein S. This molecular mimicry generates antibodies against
anticoagulant proteins. Most used treatments are fresh frozen plasma
(FFP) and heparin. In refractory cases immunoglobulins, corticosteroids
and plasmapheresis can be used. Furthermore, debridement of necrotic
areas is sometimes needed. Skin involvement commonly appears in lower
limbs or torso, in contrast of other types of purpura fulminans were a
more acral involvement is seen. Our case describes for the first time an
IPF with facial location.

Authors: Trinh Nam , Whelan Robert , Ward Tomas , Derosiere Gerard
Published: July 2023

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent psychological disorder characterized by attention deficits and high impulsivity, impacting both adults and children. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of task-related electroencephalography (EEG) and resting-state EEG in distinguishing adult patients with ADHD from healthy controls. Machine learning techniques are employed to classify the patients' status based on EEG features. The primary objective of this investigation is to determine whether the classification performance of task-based EEG data recorded during a stop-signal task recruiting inhibitory processes outperforms that of resting-state EEG data. We hypothesize that task-based EEG data contains valuable biomarkers related to inhibitory control that can be utilized to detect ADHD, whereas resting-state EEG data does not possess such useful biomarkers.

The photo archive at the Institute of Art History at the Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznań is over 120 years old. Forgotten for many decades, the oldest 10,000 glass slides and photographic reproductions have survived to this day. In the last few years, however, they have been cleaned and become part of a new research unit, the Audiovisual Archive at the AMU Faculty of Art Studies. The Poznań photo archive was inextricably linked to different Poznań universities, which, due to historical and political reasons, were in the past one hundred years administered by either Poles or Germans. When the photo archive was inventoried anew, the historical collections of different institutions were taken into consideration, i.e., collections were organized according to their historical affiliation to German or Polish Poznań universities.

Збільшення кількості даних, що генеруються щодня потребує ефективного їх зберігання, швидкого запиту до таких даних. Як правило, такі дані є багатовимірними і можуть бути представлені за допомогою моделі даних масиву. Поряд з додаванням в систему все більш і більш потужних процесорів і прискорювачів, більшість сучасних обчислювальних систем містять все більш складний стек вводу-виводу, починаючи від традиційних дискових файлових систем і закінчуючи гетерогенними прискорювачами з індивідуальним простором пам'яті. Ефективний доступ до такого складного стека вводу-виводу при обробці масивів має важливе значення для використання великої обчислювальної потужності сучасних обчислювальних платформ. Одним із ключів до досягнення такої ефективності є визначення місця генерації або зберігання даних, а також відповідний вибір відповідних стратегій представлення та обробки.

В цій роботі зосереджено на оптимізації обробки масивів у таких складних стеках вводу-виводу шляхом дослідження двох фундаментальних питань: яке представлення даних слід використовувати, і де дані повинні зберігатися та оброблятися. Таким чином, розглянуто проблему ефективної обробки даних масиву, представлено компактне сховище масивів для дискових даних, інтегруючи в нього індексацію на  основі значень без втрат. 

Розроблена архітектура системи зберігання масивів з інтегрованою підтримкою індексу вартості. Завдяки їй досягається реорганізація елементів в ряд користувацьких бітів і ефективне кодування індексів згідно бітів і відповідних їм значень. При цьому генерується індексоване представлення масиву, яке додає мало додаткових витрат на зберігання.

 Напрямами подальших досліджень є удосконалення архітектури системи зберігання масивів з інтегрованою підтримкою індексу вартості в частині оптимізації зберігання індексів.

Проведені експерименти підтверджують можливість практичної реалізації запропонованих архітектурних рішень.

Published: July 2023

Productivity in conducting research and publishing articles is the obligation of lecturers as academics. However, due to their failure to follow international writing conventions, they have difficulties in writing for international publications. Various studies have investigated the rhetorical move of research articles; however, much still needs to be investigated on the rhetorical move of the research articles written by highly reputable lecturers by comparing their publications in low-impact versus high-impact Scopus-indexed journals. This study aims to analyse the rhetorical structures of research articles in low and high-impact articles written by highly reputable lecturers in one of the universities in West Java in science and technology. Eight research articles were analysed through the framework of the move proposed by Maswana et al. in 2015. The results showed similarities and differences between the two groups. Stating a purpose, methods, and results in the abstract section was obligatory. In the method section, recounting an experimental process was always present in both groups. Interestingly, the difference was shown in stating the research implications in the conclusion part, where high-impact frequently used the move more than low-impact articles. The results show that the impact factor partly projects rhetorical moves in the research articles. This study is expected to be a useful reference for Indonesian lecturers to develop their awareness of writing an impactful research article.

Indus Water Treaty and Water Scarcity in India: Implications for Pakistan
Authors: Mumtaz Tahira , Bilal Fatima , Younas Sobia
Published: July 2023

Pakistan has been facing a water crisis since the day it emerged on the map. The issue of the water crisis is deeply rooted in Pakistan's creation. The partition of the subcontinent not only divided the landmass between India and Pakistan but also the Indus River Basin. The rivers of the region were not entirely divided between the two states; they were rather shared. The water dispute was among the initial problems that created conflict between these two newly established countries. The Indus River Basin deeply affected the economy, society, culture, and political scenario of the subcontinent. Consequently, the water dispute is one of the major and initial conflicts that intertwine with the territorial disputes. The World Bank presented its proposal for the division of rivers. With the mediation of the World Bank, the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) was signed between Pakistan and India in 1960. Three Western rivers, the Indus, the Chenab, and the Jhelum, were to be given to Pakistan, and three Eastern rivers, the Sutlej, the Ravi, and the Beas, were to be given to India. The Indus Water Treaty is a permanent, binding contract between India and Pakistan. The qualitative research approach is taken while opting for the historical and correlational approach to how India faces water scarcity and Pakistan faces its after-effects. Both states are agricultural and need water for the cultivation of crops. Being an upper riparian, India controls water, so when India faces a water shortage, it ultimately affects the lower riparian, which is Pakistan.
Myocardial fibrosis in rheumatic heart disease: emerging concepts and clinical implications

Published: July 2023

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a significant cardiovascular burden in the world even though it is no longer common in affluent countries. Centuries of history surrounding this disease provide us with a thorough understanding of its pathophysiology. Infections in the throat, skin, or mucosa are the gateway for Group A Streptococcus (GAS) to penetrate our immune system. A significant inflammatory response to the heart is caused by an immunologic cascade triggered by GAS antigen cross-reactivity. This exaggerated immune response is primarily responsible for cardiac dysfunction. Recurrent inflammatory processes damage all layers of the heart, including the endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. A vicious immunological cycle involving inflammatory mediators, angiotensin II, and TGF-β promotes extracellular matrix remodeling, resulting in myocardial fibrosis. Myocardial fibrosis appears to be a prevalent occurrence in patients with RHD. The presence of myocardial fibrosis, which causes left ventricular dysfunction in RHD, might be utilized to determine options for treatment and might also be used to predict the outcome of interventions in patients with RHD. This emerging concept of myocardial fibrosis needs to be explored comprehensively in order to be optimally utilized in the treatment of RHD.

Published: July 2023

The complex and variable oceanic environment challenges channel modeling of Underwater Wireless Optical Communication (UWOC) systems. Most of the classical modeling methods focus mainly on the water environment and ignore the effect of communication equipment on signal transmission, thus making it difficult to model the UWOC channel’s complicated characteristics comprehensively. In this work, a UWOC channel emulator based on Deep Convolutional Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks is established and verified to address the challenge, which can effectively learn the characteristics of channel response and generate emulated signals with randomness like a real UWOC system in a practical application environment. Compared with the approaches based on multi-layer perceptron and convolutional neural network, the experimental results of the proposed method indicate outstanding performances in time domain, frequency domain and universality with different turbidity levels, respectively. This approach provides a new idea for applying deep learning techniques to the field of UWOC channel modeling.

Published: July 2023

Objective: This study aims to establish a roadmap for drug supply during potential future pandemic scenarios by examining the variations in drug consumption at Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-COVID-19 period.
Materials and Methods: The study involved an analysis of one-year drug stock data before and after the pandemic. The start date of the pandemic was identified as April 2020 when the first COVID-19 case was admitted to our hospital. Data on drug stock inputs and outputs were obtained from the Hospital Information Management System. The data were calculated as percentages by considering the number of inpatients on a monthly basis. The drug groups investigated included antiviral, antibiotic, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antifungal, antithrombotic, antitussive, and psychiatric drugs. Specifically, the most commonly used antifungal agents were identified as liposomal amphotericin B, fluconazole, metronidazole, caspofungin, and nystatin; antihypertensive agents included amlodipine, perindopril, carvedilol, and furosemide; antidiabetic agents encompassed insulin glargine, insulin aspart, insulin glulisine, and metformin hydrochloride; psychiatric drugs consisted of quetiapine, escitalopram, and sertraline; antiviral agents were favipiravir, oseltamivir, and remdesivir; and antibiotics comprised ampicillin sodium, ceftriaxone, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and clarithromycin. Additionally, enoxaparin sodium was used as an antithrombotic agent, and levodropropizin as an antitussive during the pandemic at our hospital.
Results: Comparing the pre-COVID period, an increase in the number of drugs supplied per patient was observed across all drug groups. However, the usage rates of furosemide, carvedilol, metronidazole, liposomal amphotericin B, quetiapine, and metformin decreased in certain months during the pandemic. The drug categories with the highest usage rates were antithrombotics, antivirals, and antibiotics. Notably, antithrombotic consumption increased by a factor of 270 in the first year of the pandemic.
Conclusion: This study highlights the potential changes in drug consumption and requirements during pandemic periods, particularly in the case of antimicrobial and antithrombotic drugs, as demonstrated in our findings. It emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to adjust drug supply to meet the demands of clinics and inpatient services during critical periods.
Improving the star map preprocessing method using the Sobel operator
Authors:   Bo YAn Neusypin K.А.
Published: July 2023

A modification of the star map preprocessing method based on the Sobel operator is proposed. Since the star tracker images are subjected to varying degrees of light scattering to eliminate the region of brightness at the center of the star, avoid the influence of star point overexpansion and retain more information about star points characteristics, edge detection and stylized morphological processing are performed. The improved method demonstrates good adaptability and accuracy in extracting reliable information.

O Direito Fundamental À Saúde: Judicialização E O Estado De Coisas Inconvencional Em Decorrência Da Não Regulamentação Do Ressarcimento Interfederativo
Authors: Silveira Vladmir Oliveira da , De Souza Neto Plácido
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo aborda os direitos humanos e fundamentais, com foco no direito à saúde, tanto no âmbito interamericano quanto no doméstico. O objetivo geral do estudo é verificar a conformidade do ressarcimento interfederativo, uma vez que não há regulamentação por parte do Estado brasileiro. Para alcançar esse objetivo, o artigo tem como objetivos específicos contextualizar o direito humano à saúde no cenário jurídico internacional, à luz da Convenção Americana sobre Direitos Humanos, e analisar de forma mais detalhada esse direito fundamental no contexto brasileiro.
O estudo levanta a hipótese de que o aumento significativo da judicialização das questões relacionadas ao direito à saúde na última década tem gerado um estado de coisas inconvencional devido à falta de regulamentação do ressarcimento de despesas decorrentes de decisões judiciais, quando um ente federativo assume um ônus financeiro que, em teoria, caberia a outro ente.
A pesquisa adota uma abordagem metodológica hipotético-dedutiva, embasada em revisão bibliográfica e documental de textos legais e convencionais. Através dessa análise, a pesquisa conclui que o Estado brasileiro viola a Convenção Americana sobre Direitos Humanos devido à omissão inconvencional, uma vez que não há regulamentação legal para esses ressarcimentos.

A unique strategy for optimum multi-objective optimization for VLSI implementation of artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed. This strategy is efficient in terms of area, power, and speed, and it has a good degree of accuracy and dynamic range. The goal of this research is to find the sweet spot where area, speed, and power may all be optimised in a very large-scale integration (VLSI) implementation of a neural network (NN). The design should also allow for the dynamic reconfiguration of weight, and it should be very precise. The authors also use a 65-nm CMOS fabrication method to produce the circuits, and these results show that the suggested integral stochastic design may reduce energy consumption by up to 21% compared to the binary radix implementation, without sacrificing accuracy.
Micromobility, User Input, and Standardization
Authors: Eastman Brittany
Published: July 2023

Micromobility is often discussed in the context of minimizing traffic congestion
and transportation pollution by encouraging people to travel shorter (i.e.,
typically urban) distances using bicycle or scooters instead of single-occupancy
vehicles. It is also frequently championed as a solution to the
“first-mile/last-mile” problem. If the demographics and intended users of
micromobility vary largely by community, surely that means we must identify
different reasons for using micromobility.

Micromobility, User Input, and Standardization considers potential
options for standardization in engineering and public policy, how real people
are using micromobility, and the relevant barriers that come with that usage. It
examines the history of existing technologies, compares various traffic laws,
and highlights barriers to micromobility standardization—particularly in
low-income communities of color. Lastly, it considers how engineers and
legislators can use this information to effectively innovate micromobility
devices and regulatory frameworks that meet the needs of communities while
effectively outlining guidelines for providers. These are processes must happen
concurrently and inform one another.

APPLICATION OF 18O AND 13C STABLE ISOTOPES COMPOSITION OF THE CARBONATE ROCKS OF THE JERIBE FORMATION EASTERN IRAQ; AN APPROACH TO DEFINE THE PALEO TEMPERATURE AND PALEO DEPTH
Authors: Ali Mustafa A. , Al-Mashaikie Sa'ad Z.
Published: July 2023

Stable isotopes 18O/16O and 13C/12C in the carbonate rocks of the Jeribe Formation are examined here to define the depositional characters in the basin includes paleo temperatures and paleo depth. The Jeribe Formation comprises a transgressive unit belongs to the Latest Eocene-Recent Megasequence (Ap11). Complete sections of the formation were studied in the core of Himreen structure in eastern part of Iraq. The Himreen structure lies in the outer platform margin of unstable shelf of the Arabian plate. The stable isotope (18O/16O and 13C/12C) of Jeribe Formation provides the first records of paleotemperature for the Neogene (middle Miocene Transgression) of the Southern Teythes, which indicate cooling during deposition. Microfacies study imply that the skeletal grains are composed of green and red algae, stromatolite and verities of benthic foraminifera. The non-skeletal grains are pellets and intraclasts. Analysis of microfacies suggests lagoon, reef, shoal and open marine environments. The depletion of both 18O and 13 C indicated shallowing at the contact with overlying and underlying formations in the shoal and lagoonal facies respectively. While in the middle part in the coral reef facies reveals elevation of the sea surface temperature. These suggest that the enrichment of both 18O and 13 C at the cool water temperature associated with upwelling and arise of sea level represented by reef and open marine facies.

Air pollution is one of the significant environmental concerning issues in Bangladesh. It has been getting worse at a district level over the past few decades. The main objective of this study was to observe the concentration of Particulate Matter (PM) in Netrokona district town depending on the different uses of land represents. This research was carried out with the assistance of a portable Air Quality Monitor in a total of sixty different places throughout the Netrokona district town. It was revealed that, on average, locations in the district town of Netrokona had particulate matter concentrations (60.97, 99.63, 130.12 µg/m3) respectively. Moreover, averaged PM₂.₅ was 1.53 times fold than Bangladesh's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) level. On the basis of PM₂.₅ concentration, the study demonstrated that three of the most polluted places were located in commercial areas, whereas two of the least polluted places were in sensitive areas. According to estimates, the ratio of PM₂.₅/PM₁₀ was found 76.76%, while the ratio of PM₁/ PM₂.₅ was 61.17%. This research ranks land uses by average PM₂.₅ concentration: mixed area> commercial area> road intersection area> residential area> village area> industrial area> sensitive area.
