Association Between Usage of an App to Redeem Prescribed Food Benefits and Redemption Behaviors Among the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Participants: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Zhang Qi , Zhang Junzhou , Park Kayoung , Tang Chuanyi
Published: August 2020

Background

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is one of the most important food assistance programs in the United States, serving 6.4 million low-income, eligible women, infants, and children under 5 years of age in 2019. In the program, participants are prescribed a list of food benefits, which can be redeemed in WIC-authorized stores. However, there are multiple behavioral barriers in the program and the stores that prevent participants from redeeming the benefits fully.

Objective

This study aims to examine the relationship between the use of a widely used mobile phone app, WICShopper, and the redemption of the prescribed food packages.

Methods

WIC administrative data were obtained from West Virginia for the period January 2019 to January 2020 and included 30,440 WIC households that had received food benefits in that period. The redemption rates of 18 WIC food benefits were compared between app users and nonapp users, that is, those who never used the app in the study period. The use behaviors were defined for the app users, including the number of active use benefit cycles, active benefit cycle rates, number of active use days in the cycle, and proportion rates of daytime use. Panel linear regressions were applied to examine how the redemption rates were related to these behaviors over time.

Results

App users consistently had higher average redemption rates than nonapp users; the difference ranged from 3.6% (4.8% relative) for infant formula to 14.3% (40.7% relative) for fish. After controlling for sociodemographics, the coefficients of app use were significantly positive for all benefit categories except for WIC-eligible nutritionals. More active cycles and active days in the cycle were significantly related to redemption rates for all categories, except for frozen juice (coefficient=−0.002, P=.09). Daytime app access was positively associated with redemption rates for most food benefits except only a few, such as infant formula (coefficient=−0.03, P<.001).

Conclusions

Use of the WIC app was significantly related to higher redemption rates across food benefits, although the association varied across benefit categories. More active days were positively related to benefit redemptions across food categories, and the app’s daytime use was positively associated with the redemption of most benefit categories. These findings suggest that the WIC app can be an important tool for the promotion of benefit redemption among WIC participants.

Authors: Alagumariappan Paramasivam , Krishnamurthy Kamalanand , Kandiah Sundravadivelu , Cyril Emmanuel , V Rajinikanth
Published: August 2020

Background

Electrogastrography is a noninvasive electrophysiological procedure used to measure gastric myoelectrical activity. EGG methods have been used to investigate the mechanisms of the human digestive system and as a clinical tool. Abnormalities in gastric myoelectrical activity have been observed in subjects with diabetes.

Objective

The objective of this study was to use the electrogastrograms (EGGs) from healthy individuals and subjects with diabetes to identify potentially informative features for the diagnosis of diabetes using EGG signals.

Methods

A total of 30 features were extracted from the EGGs of 30 healthy individuals and 30 subjects with diabetes. Of these, 20 potentially informative features were selected using a genetic algorithm–based feature selection process. The selected features were analyzed for further classification of EGG signals from healthy individuals and subjects with diabetes.

Results

This study demonstrates that there are distinct variations between the EGG signals recorded from healthy individuals and those from subjects with diabetes. Furthermore, the study reveals that the features Maragos fractal dimension and Hausdorff box-counting fractal dimension have a high degree of correlation with the mobility of EGGs from healthy individuals and subjects with diabetes.

Conclusions

Based on the analysis on the extracted features, the selected features are suitable for the design of automated classification systems to identify healthy individuals and subjects with diabetes.
Patient and Clinician Perspectives on Adolescent Opioid Use Disorder Treatment During a Pandemic: One Step Back, but Two Forward? (Preprint)
Authors: Stull Samuel W , McKnight Erin R , Bonny Andrea E
Published: August 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is one of the most pressing public health problems in the United States and is highly prevalent among adolescents and young adults (AYAs). However, only a small percentage of AYAs with OUD ever receive treatment. Further, among those that do receive treatment, a substantial proportion of patients continue to struggle with OUD, and many prematurely drop out of treatment. These challenges have only been heightened in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, but greater utilization of telehealth and mobile technologies by OUD patients may help counter these barriers, which ultimately may improve AYA OUD treatment in the postpandemic period. This viewpoint presents the perspective of a person in OUD recovery using online and mobile technology to support his own OUD recovery combined with thoughts from two clinicians supporting AYAs with OUD. Their perspectives may provide insights to help counter COVID-19–related consequences and offer clues to improving AYA OUD treatment in the long term.

Published: August 2020

The purpose of this study is to describe the shift process which is caused by applying certain translation techniques. The techniques are modulation, transposition, implication, and reduction by Molina and Albir (2002). The research used descriptive qualitative-quantitative method by applying purposive sampling technique. The source of the data was the text of Obama’s and Trump’s inauguration speech and their respective translations. There were 152 data in each inauguration speech. The data were the clause which contains the process type which is realized in verbal group in English and its translation. Based on the total of research data, 10 data or 6.57 % in Obama’s inauguration speech and 7 data or 4.60 % in Trump’s inauguration speech was obtained. The obtained data was changing or shifting in process type from the original text into the target text (Indonesian). So, the result of the research supports the theory that modulation, implication, explication, and reduction can cause the shift, especially in verbal group.
Translation Studies Research Development in Indonesia
Authors: Dewi Haru Deliana
Published: August 2020

This paper is an overview on the development of Translation Studies (TS) research in Indonesia from 2008 to 2018. The study aims to discover whether the TS research conducted by the students of ten Indonesian universities has followed the present trends of TS research in the world. The data were obtained from the final papers (undergraduate theses, Master’s degree theses, and doctoral theses) of the universities having translation programs in Indonesia, particularly on Java and Bali Islands. The titles of the final papers were analyzed to obtain a general idea of what topics of TS research are usually investigated by Indonesian university students. The results show that most of the topics are categorized into text analysis and translation (product-oriented research), and very few belong to the process-oriented research, participant-oriented research, and other themes. This leads to the conclusion that TS research in Indonesia has not yet developed well and has not varied according to the international TS research progress.
Hypersemiotics in Printed Commercial Advertising
Authors: Masrukhi Moh.
Published: August 2020

Commercial advertising is currently created with an imaginative look. The elements are framed in verbal and nonverbal ways, and there is a structure of discourse where the message is hidden by the advertiser or copywriter. This article attempts to explore how advertisements uses verbal and nonverbal elements or signs, the relationships between these elements, and how these elements are interpreted. To understand the meaning and message of the advertisement, the elements will be analyzed with van Dijk’s concepts such as macrostructures (comprehension for complex information), superstructures (the schematic form that organizes the global meaning of a text), and microstructures (text grammars), and to understand signs especially nonverbal sign the hyper-semiotics theory will be used.
The Clash of Traditional and Modern Cultures in the Novels Samdae (Three Generations) by Yeom Sang Seop and Tetralogi Buru (Buru Quartet) by Pramoedya Ananta Toer
Authors: Trihtarani Febriani Elfida
Published: August 2020

This study analyzes Korean writer Yeom Sang-seop's colonial-era novel Samdae (Three Generations) (1931) and Pramoedya Ananta Toer's Tetralogi Buru (Buru Quartet). Although Korea and Indonesia have different cultures, they share a history of colonization by imperial countries. The purpose of this study is to analyze the writers' cultural differences as they appear in these novels. Yeom Sang-seop’s Samdae (Three Generations) is shown to capture the conflict of traditional and modern cultures. In this novel, characters who follow traditional culture consider customs and honor very important. Meanwhile, the characters in Pramoedya’s quartet consider honor to be important. In Yeom Sang-seop’s novel, those seeking modernity hold only modern ideas and ultimately fall victim to consumerism. On the other hand, in Pramoedya’s novels, while characters with modern ideas do exist, they are not trapped in a world of consumerism. Yeom Sang-seop seeks a solution to escape colonialism through one character who is not interested in traditional culture but also shows no significant interest in modern culture. He instead supports socialism, which can be considered an attempt to avoid the downsides of modernity. In the novels of Pramoedya, one character Minke faces a similar situation. Through his national organizing activities, he shows the possibility that Indonesia can break free of colonialism.

“We believe in democracy…”: Epistemic Modality in Justin Trudeau’s Political Speeches
Authors: Hardjanto Tofan Dwi , Mazia Nala
Published: August 2020

This article investigates epistemic modality in political discourse. It focuses on modality markers in terms of their word classes, semantic meanings and discourse functions in political speeches. The data were taken from three speeches delivered by the 23rd Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The results show that the markers found in the three speeches are of five different types, i.e., lexical verbs, modal adjectives, modal adverbs, modal auxiliary verbs and modal nouns, with meanings ranging from possibility, probability, to certainty. The markers also indicate the speaker’s commitment whose degree reflects the function in the social context. The speaker’s commitment is divided into three degrees of engagement, each of which serves as a means to be polite, to be diplomatic, and to be persuasive. The findings suggest that Trudeau tends to use reasonable judgment expressions to sound diplomatic and persuasive in his speeches.
The Incidence of Negative Appendectomy in a Teaching Hospital in Jordan, a Universal Concern
Authors: Awaysheh Mahmoud M Al , Nofal Mohammad N , Awaysheh Batool M Al
Published: August 2020

Background: Appendicitis is considered as one of the most common abdominal conditions requiring surgical intervention. The appendectomy, like most surgical procedures, has its own complications and therefore should only be done when indicated. Case series have reported the incidence of negative appendectomy in many different parts of the world including western nations. A high rate of negative appendectomy is unacceptable. At the same time, surgeons should aim to prevent perforation at all costs. For this reason, considerable efforts are now being made to improve diagnostic accuracy and prevent unnecessary appendectomies.Methods: All case files of patients who underwent appendectomies at Al-Karak Teaching Hospital in Jordan between January 2014 and December 2015 were reviewed. Demographic data, symptoms, signs on presentation, intra-operative findings, and histological reports on the excised vermiform appendixes were extracted from the case files and analyzed.Results: The incidence of negative appendectomy in our study was 18% with no difference in incidence between genders.Conclusion: The incidence of negative appendectomy observed at Al-Karak Teaching Hospital is near or around that reported by most studies. This alarming figure clearly indicates the need for accurate diagnostic procedures to confirm the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Further studies and evaluations are warranted.

Published: August 2020

Purpose: The study provides a summary of Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) and the burden held on residents despite the increased number of insured under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Methods: Patient Discharge Data were collected from the Office of Statewide Planning and Development (OSHPD) from 2010-2017. With a range of Age 40 to 64. Patients all reside in the San Joaquin Valley (Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tulare). The American Community Survey (ACS) was used for population estimates.Results: From the result, CVD patients from the age of 40-64 declined. Many individuals appeared in 2013 with county indigent or self-pay and changed in 2015 to Medi-Cal. Additionally, regression statistics provided the likelihood of people changing insurance from county indigent or self-pay to Medi-Cal.Conclusion: The study provides a summary of Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) and the burden held on residents despite the increased number of insured under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).The evaluation of discharge data demonstrates the positive impact the ACA has for those suffering from CVD in SJV.
The Diet of Foxes and the Availability of Anthropogenic Food on Prince Edward Island, Canada
Authors: Silva-Opps Marina , Kelly-Clark Whitney , Opps Sheldon
Published: August 2020

It has been postulated that red foxes (Vulpesvulpes) inhabiting Prince Edward Island National Park (Canada) make very little use of natural food sources and that anthropogenic food play an integral part in their diet. The use of anthropogenic food sources has also been associated with an increased number of fatal fox vehicle-collisions in the park. The main goal of this study was to examine the composition of the diet of foxes inhabiting Prince Edward Island National Park and to compare this diet with foxes found in other areas of the island. In particular, we examined the importance of anthropogenic food items in foxes inhabiting the national park. We analyzed 38 stomachs from foxes killed by trappers or vehiclesduring late fall and early winter within and outside the national park. Our results showed that rodents and vegetation were the most common food items present in fox stomachs whether the animals were obtained from within or outside the park. Values of coefficient of variation of food items found in fox stomachs indicated a great diversity in diet composition. However, only six stomachs contained anthropogenic food items. Stomachs of foxes killed by vehicles contained twice the amount of anthropogenic food items than those that were collected from trappers. Overall, our findings indicate that anthropogenic food items are only a minor component in the diet of foxes occurring within the park, at least during the period of time examined in this study. Future studies should examine diet composition during other seasons when the quantity and quality of anthropogenic food sources is different.

Performance of Urodynamics During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Questionnaire Survey
Authors: Jabbar Talal , Mills Samuel , Simpson Richard , Jones Adam , Campbell Iain , Abed Omar Al-Mula
Published: August 2020

Aims

The principal aim of this multicentre, international cohort study is to explore the safety concerns of clinicians when performing urodynamic studies (UDS) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study will also assess provider preference on personal protective equipment (PPE) during UDS and awareness of relevant international guidelines. The outcome is to offer a practical means of reducing the risk of aerosol transmis-sion during UDS, to include a protocol for screening patients, and to consider safer methods of inducing urethral leak-point pressure.

Methods

A 14-point, multiple-response, online questionnaire was designed through Survey Monkey. This was distributed to healthcare workers involved in UDS via email, WhatsApp, and Twitter. This included, of varying experience; urologists, urogynaecologists, clinical nurse specialists, and clinical scientists across the United Kingdom (UK), United States of America (USA), Australia, Europe, and Middle-East.

Results

The study was conducted over two weeks and there were 104 responses to the survey. The majority of respondents were consultants (60%) and 73% of respondents performed UDS regularly. There were 56.7% of respondents who felt that UDS was safe to be re-instated and there were 52.8% who did not feel coughing was safe during the procedure. At the time of the survey, 83.5% were unaware of any national or international urological guidelines on the best practice for urodynamics during this era and 52.8% of clinicians stated they would wear PPE during UDS if it were reinstated.

Conclusion

The majority of respondents felt safe to reinstate UDS; however, they felt more official guidance and recommendation is needed. Our proposed protocol can provide a safe and practical approach that keeps healthcare workers and patients safe.

Authors: Chalokia Ramandeep , Kum Francesca , Foran Niamh , Thomas Kay , Bultitude Matthew
Published: August 2020

Background and Objectives

Cystinuria is a rare genetic cause of recurrent urolithiasis and requires multimodal treatment, and stringent follow up. We wanted to evaluate the fears and concerns of patients with cystinuria during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and Methods

An online survey using Google Forms was emailed to 165 patients with cystinuria who are maintained on a prospective database and had previously consented for email correspondence.

Results

Fifty-five responses were received following a single invitation, 23 were men and 32 women with a median age of 43 (range: 18-72) years. Thirty-nine (70.9%) out of 55 were isolating during the COVID-19 pandemic although only 7(12.7%) were given specific advice to shield officially. Six (10.9%) reported having COVID or COVID like symptoms, but none reported having a positive test. Only 9 (16.4%) had been able to work as usual. In comparison, 20 (36.4%) were able to work from home. Ten out of 19 patients (52.6%) on chelating medication described difficulty in access to their medicine, either due to a shortage at the pharmacy or prescription access. Reassuringly 34 (61.8%) patients described no issues with access to any of their cystinuria medications.

Twenty-two patients (40%) reported experiencing pain or passing a stone during the COVID-19 pandemic, while 30 (54.5%) reported no problems. Of patients who felt it applicable, 16/31 (51.6%) were worried about attending the Emergency Department during this time. Of patients who had scheduled hospital appointments during this time, 26/44 (59.1%) had experienced cancellations. The majority of the respondents (37 (67.3%)) did not state any difference in the ability to stay hydrated during the lockdown.

Twenty-eight (50.9%) were more anxious about their overall health during the pandemic, and 20 (36.4%) had expressed more concern about their kidney stones.

Conclusion

This personal fully patient-reported snapshot of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a population of cystine stone formers in the United Kingdom has highlighted additional challenges for patients with a rare disease. The lockdown measures enforced have had a varying effect on patients’ ability to work as normal, access medications, health anxieties, in addition to cancellations of the planned hospital appointments and Emergency Department attendance, which will impact on their future health and pose evolving challenges in delivery of their future care.

Published: August 2020

Murat River is the most important tributary of the Euphrates River, which has the highest water potential in Turkey. The seasonal variation of water quality parameters and water quality status of Murat River were determined according to the “Regulation on Surface Water Quality Management” criteria. 19 different parameters were measured in water samples taken from four different stations during the research. These parameters were temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, total hardness, total alkalinity, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), total phosphorus, fluoride, chloride, nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, sulfate, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a). According to “Regulation on Surface Water Quality Management”, physical and chemical analysis data showed that Murat River waters had "first-class water quality" in terms of temperature, dissolved oxygen, BOD, total phosphorus, fluoride, chloride, nitrate, ammonium, sulfate, "third-class water quality" for sodium, pH and “fourth class water quality” for nitrite. The electrical conductivity and alkalinity values were within normal limits and as "medium-hard" water. Considering all the results, it has been evaluated that there is no significant pollution problem in the Murat River.

Çalışmada 11 adet işletmeye tam sayım anket yöntemi uygulanmıştır. İşletmelerin 1 tanesinin akvaryum balığı üretim tesisi, 10 tanesinin ise akvaryumcu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Mevcut işletmelerin %55’inin Ordu merkezde, %18’inin Ünye, %18’inin Fatsa ve %9’unun ise Perşembe ilçesinde bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Akvaryum işletmelerinin %73’ünün kiracı olduğu, %27’sinin ise kendi mülkünde faaliyet gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Akvaryum işletmelerinde tüm personelin %87’sinin erkek, %13’ünün ise kadın personelden oluştuğu, personelin %46,6’sının ilkokul, %46,6’sının lise ve %6,6’sının ise üniversite mezunu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Satılan balıkları işletmecilerin %91’inin yurt içinden, %9’unun ise yurt içi ve yurt dışından temin ettikleri tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bölgesinde 5 familyaya ait 15 balık türünün ve 9 familyaya ait 9 bitki türünün satıldığı belirlenmiştir. Akvaryum işletmelerinde görülen hastalıkların %50’sinin mantar hastalığı, %45’inin beyaz benek hastalığı ve %5’inin ise diğer hastalıklar olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda işletmelerin en büyük sorunları arasında; merdiven altı satıcıların varlığı, kaçak balık satışı, balık hastalıkları, yüksek kira giderleri, akvaryum kooperatifçiliğinin kurulamaması ve veteriner hekim ile çalışma zorunluğunun getirilmesi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile, akvaryum işletmelerinde öne çıkan mevcut sorunların çözümünde üniversite ve kamu kurumlarının ilgili paydaşları ile birlikte hareket etmenin, taleplerin ve önerilerin dikkate alınmasının önemine vurgu yapılmıştır.

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye su ürünleri sektörü hakkında genel bir değerlendirme yapabilmek ve gelecek yıllara ait endeksler kullanılarak sektörünün incelenmesi ve sektörün geleceği hakkında yorum yapabilmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, su ürünleri üretim ve dış ticaretinin 2000-2018 yıllarına ait zaman serisi verileri kullanılarak, gelecek 5 yıla (2019-2023) ilişkin öngörülerde bulunulmuştur. Su ürünleri üretiminde zaman serileri ile öngörüde bulunabilmek için çift üstel düzeltme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, su ürünleri üretimine ilişkin Kendine Yeterlilik Oranı (KYO), İthalata Bağımlılık Oranı (İBO), İhraç Edilebilirlik Endeksi (İEE) ve Kişi Başı Tüketim miktarı (KBT) endeksleri hesaplanmıştır. Yapılan öngörü sonuçlarına göre, su ürünleri avcılık üretiminde azalmaların yaşanmasına karşın yetiştiricilik üretim miktarında artış yaşanacağı muhtemel görülmektedir. İthalat ve ihracat miktarlarında tahmin yıllarına ilişkin bir artış yaşanması ve ihracat miktarının artış oranının ithalat miktarına oranla daha yüksek gerçekleşmesi mümkün olabilir. Ayrıca, hesaplanan yeterlilik endeksleri sonuçlarına göre 2018 yılında %112,9 olan kendine yeterlilik düzeyinin 2023 yılında %119,4’e ulaşması, ithalata bağımlılık düzeyinde ise önemli değişimlerin yaşanmayacağı tahmin edilmektedir.
Tunca Nehri’nde (Edirne, Türkiye) Trichoptera ve Ephemeroptera (Insecta) Faunasının Farklı Yaprak Paketlerinde Koloni Oluşumlarının İncelenmesi
Authors: Özkan Nurcan

Bu çalışma farklı yaprak paketlerinde bulunan Trichoptera ve Ephemeroptera bentik faunasının koloni oluşumundaki bolluk oranları, tür ve birey sayısı farklılıklarını karşılaştırmak için yapıldı. Çalışmada Tunca Nehri (Edirne)'nde üç istasyon belirlendi. Beş farklı ağaç yaprağı (yapay şimşir, ceviz, dut, kuru çınar, karaağaç) kullanıldı. Yaprakların paketlemesinde 20 kg'lık patates çuvalı kullanıldı. Her istasyona toplamda 25 paket yerleştirildi. Haziran 2012-Ekim 2012 tarihleri arasında Trichoptera ve Ephemeroptera örnekleri istasyonlardan toplanarak %70 etil alkole alındı ve laboratuvara getirildi. Daha sonra stereomikroskop altında incelendi. Ardından, Trichoptera ve Ephemeroptera larvalarının yaprak paketleri, istasyon ve zamana (aylara) göre analizinde ANOVA testi kullanıldı ve tüm testlerde 0,05 α istatistiksel anlamlılık esas alındı. Fark anlamlı bulunduğunda ise nedeni Tukey testi ile ortaya konuldu. Varyans analizi test sonuçları Trichoptera birey sayısının yalnızca 2. istasyonda farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Yaprak çeşidi ve aylara göre bir fark görülmemiştir. Ephemeroptera birey sayısında ise varyans analizi sonuçları yaprak çeşidi, istasyon ve aylara göre farklılık göstermemiştir. Trichoptera’dan 3, Ephemeroptera’dan 4 olmak üzere toplam 7 tür bulundu. Trichoptera taksonunun Cyrnus trimaculatus (Curtis, 1834), Ecnomus tenellus (Rambur, 1842), Hydropsyche instabilis (Curtis, 1834) ve Ephemeroptera’nın Caenis luctuosa (Burmeister, 1839) türleri Tunca Nehri için yeni kayıttır.
Toma de decisiones basada en la productividad en Pymes manufactureras: aproximación desde la Lógica Difusa
Authors: Londoño-Patiño Julio Albeiro
Published: August 2020

Uno de los retos para la pequeña y mediana empresa (PYME) es entender y conocer en qué momento debe hacer los cambios organizacionales y tomar las decisiones adecuadas que no afecten su nivel de productividad. Comprender los factores que involucran la toma de decisiones en las Pymes está relacionado con la necesidad de entender el entorno de los negocios y sus variables de productividad laboral referido a la efectividad de las buenas prácticas de productividad operacional (BPPO), sus sistemas de apoyo y de transferencia de conocimiento aplicado a la administración de la producción. Para entenderlo, se debe analizar el contexto desde una perspectiva integral. Es por esta razón que el presente artículo pretende examinar la toma de decisiones basada en la productividad en Pymes manufactureras a través de la utilización de lógica difusa, tomando como caso 6 Pymes de Medellín, Colombia, donde se empleó el modelo Índice de Productividad Total de Factores (IPTF). Con respecto a la metodología, se hace desde la ejecución rigurosa de los diferentes pasos del método borroso en las Pymes con un enfoque descriptivo, lo que permitió seleccionar las condiciones más cercanas a los principios difusos, confirmando la efectividad de la lógica difusa en el proceso de toma de decisiones empresariales. Además, como resultado significativo, se aporta a líneas de investigación, con una orientación metodológica basada en la productividad (BPPO) que apoyan la toma de decisiones empresariales.
KLASIFIKASI AÅ»-Å»AHABÄª ATAS POSISI KITAB â€˜ARÄ€â€™IS AL-BAYÄ€N FÄª á¸¤AQÄ€â€™IQ AL-QURâ€™Ä€N KARYA RUZBIHAN BAQLÄª ASY-SYÄªRÄ€ZÄª: Sebuah Kajian Kritis
Authors: El-Mishry Saiful

Muhammad Husain al-DzahÄbÄ« mengklasifikasikan tafsir sufi menjadi dua kategori, yakni tafsir naáº“arÄ« dan tafsir isyÄrÄ«. Lebih lanjut, al-DzahÄbÄ« membuat daftar kitab sufi isyÄrÄ« yang di dalamnya termasuk kitab tafsir â€˜ArÄis al-BayÄn fÄ« HaqÄiq al-Qurâ€™Än karya Ruzbihan BaqlÄ« al-SyÄ«rÄzÄ«. Namun, jika kita teliti, kitab tersebut tidak disertai penafsiran secara zahir. Beranjak dari masalah tersebut, tulisan ini berusaha mengkaji efektifitas konsep klasifikasi tafsir sufi al-DzahÄbÄ« dengan menelusuri fakta-fakta yang terdapat dalam â€˜ArÄis al-BayÄn. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan historis-filosofis, dihasilkan beberapa kesimpulan sebagaimana berikut. Pertama, penafsiran al-SyÄ«rÄzÄ« mempunyai relasi yang dekat dengan pemikiran-pemikiran tasawuf falsafi. Dengan demikian, kitab tersebut tidak tepat disebut sebagai isyÄrÄ«. Kedua, kitab tersebut juga tidak bisa dikatakan naáº“arÄ« karena mempunyai hubungan yang erat dengan tasawuf sunni al-QusyairÄ« dan al-TustarÄ«. Ketiga, konsep klasifikasi tafsir sufi al-DzahÄbÄ« tidak efektif karena tidak mengakomodir analisis konteks historis al-SyÄ«rÄzÄ« dan kaitannya dengan sejarah pasang-surut tasawuf dan tafsir sufi. Keempat, posisi kitab â€˜ArÄis al-BayÄn dan al-SyÄ«rÄzÄ« dalam sejarah perkembangan tasawuf ialah setelah terjadi konsolidasi antara tasawuf falsafi dan tasawuf sunni terutama dengan kedatangan al-GhazÄlÄ«. Karena itu, kitab tersebut di samping penafsirannya berhubungan dengan tasawuf falsafi-teoretis juga berkaitan dengan tasawuf sunni-â€˜amalÄ«.
KONTEKS â€œLATE ANTIQUITYâ€ DAN ANALISIS STRUKTUR MIKRO SEBAGAI COUNTER ATAS SKEPTISISME ORISINALITAS TEKS AL-QURâ€™AN Refleksi atas Pemikiran Angelika Neuwirth
Authors: Aini Adrika Fitrotul , Musadad Asep Nahrul
Published: August 2020

Tulisan ini mendiskusikan pembacaan Angelika Neuwirth terhadap Al-Qurâ€™an dengan pendekatan historis-kritis melalui fokus kajian Al-Qurâ€™an sebelum fase kanonisasi (pre-canonical). Pembacaan dengan melibatkan dokumen â€œlate antiquityâ€ dianggap sebagai pendekatan komprehensif dalam melihat orisinalitas teks Al-Qurâ€™an secara historis. Para sarjana Barat sebelum Neuwirth sangat skeptis terhadap kajian Al-Qurâ€™an. Metode Neuwirth dalam melihat posisi Al-Qurâ€™an dengan teks-teks terdahulu - masa late antique - dan menempatkannya dalam kompleksitas historis sebagai sebuah proses komunikasi sangat patut diperhitungkan. Tulisan ini mengulas hubungan Al-Qurâ€™an dengan tradisi late antiquity serta tawaran Neuwirth terhadap model  pendekatan intertekstualitas dan struktur mikro Al-Qurâ€™an. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah historis filosofis dan deskriptif-interpretatif. Pada akhirnya ia berkesimpulan bahwa teks Al-Qurâ€™an memiliki akar kesejarahan yang kuat dalam posisinya sebagai teks post-Biblikal. Neuwirth menunjukkan adanya akomodasi terhadap signifikansi dan pentingnya konteks late antiquity dalam melihat Al-Qurâ€™an sebagai literatur pos-Biblikal. Gagasan Neuwirth ini memiliki kontribusi besar terhadap perkembangan studi Al-Qurâ€™an di Barat yang bersifat dialogis-akademis.

Authors: Iswanto Agus , Oetomo Setyo Boedi , Noviani Nur Laili , Khalim Samidi , Atmanto Nugroho Eko , Rachmadani Arnis
Published: August 2020

Al-Qur’an adalah salah satu aspek penting dalam memenuhi kompetensi Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI). Namun demikian, penelitian tentang literasi Al-Qur’an masih sedikit dilakukan, dan barangkali belum pernah dipublikasikan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui tingkat literasi Al-Qur’an siswa SMP di Provinsi Jawa Timur dengan jumlah sampel 2.267 siswa. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan multistage random sampling (sampel acak beberapa tahap). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa secara umum, kemampuan membaca, menulis, dan menghafal Al-Qur’an di kalangan siswa SMP di Jawa Timur menunjukkan nilai yang baik. Ini membuktikan bahwa kultur masyarakat Jawa Timur yang “santri” mempengaruhi tingkat literasi membaca, menulis dan menghafal Al-Qur’an. Namun, kemampuan memahami atau menerjemahkan Al-Qur’an masih rendah. Padahal, kemampuan memahami atau menerjemahkan Al-Qur’an ini sangat penting untuk menjadi salah satu indikator keberhasilan pendidikan agama Islam siswa, terutama jika dikaitkan dengan kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam di SMP. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa pendidikan Al-Qur’an yang dilakukan orang tua dan yang diselenggarakan oleh masyarakat memberikan kontribusi pada kemampuan literasi Al-Qur’an siswa.
KITAB SANJATA MUâ€™MIN Sebuah Bentuk Tafsir Awam di Tanah Banjar
Authors: Nadhiroh Wardatun
Published: August 2020

Tulisan ini mengkaji salah satu tradisi Islam Banjar yaitu kitab Sanjata Muâ€™min karya Husin Qadri yang merupakan rekaman tertulis dari amalan bacaan masyarakat Banjar turun-temurun. Kitab ini adalah bukti pribumisasi Islam di Tanah Banjar yang bermaksud menggantikan pelaksanaan upacara-upacara atau kepercayaan akan benda-benda tuah sebagai penjagaan diri dengan pembacaan amalan ayat Al-Qurâ€™an tertentu yang diyakini berfungsi sama untuk menjaga diri. Pengamalan bacaan Al-Qurâ€™an sebagai penjaga diri sehari-hari adalah bentuk usaha masyarakat Banjar memahami Al-Qurâ€™an, inilah yang disebut oleh Andreas Gorke sebagai Tafsir Awam (Lay Exegesis). Dengan menggunakan tesis Gorke tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kitab Sanjata Muâ€™min termasuk model tafsir awam, bagian dari upaya pribumisasi Islam, yang pemahaman atas fadhilahdan khasiat pengamalannya disandarkan pada kajian makna semantik yang dikandung potongan-potongan kata dalam bacaan amalan tersebut.Kata kunci Kitab Sanjata Muâ€™min, Banjar, amalan, penjagaan diri.
