Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome Induced by Tamsulosin
Authors: Tobaiqy Mansour , Aalam Waseem , Banji David , Al Haleem Ekram N. Abd
Published: April 2021

Tamsulosin is an antagonist of a subtype-specific alpha-1A- and alpha-1D-adrenoceptor (AR) that is expressed in the prostate gland, urethra, and bladder. Several reports have shown a possible relationship between ophthalmologic adverse effects and the use of alpha-1-receptor medicines, including tamsulosin. This descriptive review evaluates the intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) associated with tamsulosin. A search of the Medline and PubMed databases was conducted to identify control trials, case reports, and observational examinations published in English. The publication dates were restricted (January 1, 2000, to January 1, 2020). Keywords (tamsulosin, alpha-blocker, ocular, eye, adverse reaction, and IFIS) were used in the searches. The searches identified 66 studies including in vitro or in vivo studies, trials, and observational studies. Twenty-two (33.33%) studies were articles citing tamsulosin and IFIS as having confirmed potential risk to ocular safety. The results of this review, including a comprehensive summary of published research on tamsulosin use in different populations, have identified several articles showing associations between tamsulosin and IFIS that merit further investigation. Suspending of potential causative pharmacological treatment of IFIS before ocular surgery including tamsulosin, proper identification of at-risk patients, preoperative prophylaxis treatments, and surgical technique modifications clearly can mitigate the anticipated risk of IFIS induced by tamsulosin.

PURPOSE:

The current study aims to know the glaucoma diagnoses and legal blindness from glaucoma among a tertiary referral center in Riyadh (King Abdulaziz Medical City [KAMC]-Riyadh patients).

METHODS:

This is a retrospective cohort study on chart review, where all eligible glaucoma patients attending the ophthalmology clinic at KAMC-Riyadh, between 2018 and 2019; were included.

RESULTS:

A total of 248 patients were included in the study; 142 patients (57.3%) were females and 106 (42.7%) were males. The mean age of the patients was 62.2 ± 18 years and most of them (93.5%) did not have a family history of glaucoma. Nearly one-quarter (26.6%; n = 66) of the included patients were legally blind, out of those, 36.4% had their right eye affected, 34.8% had their left eye affected, and 28.8% had both eyes affected. Legally, blind patients (LBGs) did not show a statistically significant reduction in the intraocular pressure (IOP) in the right eye (P = 0.103), on comparing the IOP in both visits. Nevertheless, there was a statistically significant reduction in the IOP of the left eye among the LBGs in both visits (P = 0.016). Regarding the nonblind group of patients, there were highly statistically significant reductions in both eyes (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION:

The present findings show a high prevalence rate of legal blindness among glaucoma patients, with IOP reduction, age, and glaucoma diagnoses being the most important predictors among the study population.

In this article, we described the management of a SLE patient presented with progressive gangrene of the finger. Ultrasound-guided SGB was successfully given in this patient to relieve pain and improve vascularity, which also helped in healing of ischemic ulcer on digits.
Regulation on tumor metastasis by Raf kinase inhibitory protein
Authors: Hu Chi-Tan , Mandal Jaya Prakash , Wu Wen-Sheng
Published: April 2021

Targeted therapy aiming at the metastatic signal pathway, such as that triggered by receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), for the prevention of tumor progression is promising. However, RTK-based targeted therapy frequently suffered from drug resistance due to the co-expression of multiple growth factor receptors that may raise compensatory secondary signaling and acquired mutations after treatment. One alternative strategy is to manipulate the common negative regulators of the RTK signaling. Among them, Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) is highlighted and focused on this review. RKIP can associate with Raf-1, thus suppressing the downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. RKIP also negatively regulates other metastatic signal molecules including NF-κB, STAT3, and NOTCH1. In general, RKIP achieves this task via associating and blocking the activity of the critical molecules on upstream of the aforementioned pathways. One novel RKIP-related signaling involves reactive oxygen species (ROS). In our recent report, we found that PKCδ-mediated ROS generation may interfere with the association of RKIP with heat shock protein 60 (HSP60)/MAPK complex via oxidation of HSP60 triggered by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate. The departure of RKIP may impact the downstream MAPK in two aspects. One is to trigger the Mt→cytosol translocation of HSP60 coupled with MAPKs. The other is to change the conformation of HSP60, favoring more efficient activation of the associated MAPK by upstream kinases in cytosol. It is worthy of investigating whether various RTKs capable of generating ROS can drive metastatic signaling via affecting RKIP in the same manner.

Exploring Sustainability Features and Determinants of Agricultural Insurance Programmes in Low-income Countries
Authors: Sumani John Bosco Baguri
Published: April 2021

Agriculture is the main occupation and source of livelihood for the majority of the inhabitants in low-income countries. However, agricultural activities in these countries are confronted with a plethora of challenges, including production and marketing risks. Some of the farmers in low-income countries have been employing autonomous and planned adaptation strategies, including agricultural insurance contracts to cope with the agricultural risks. Agricultural insurance has been acclaimed to possess enormous potential for managing agricultural risks in low-income countries. This study employed the literature review approach to identify the features and determinants of sustainable agricultural insurance programmes in low-income countries. The study found that the appropriate institutional arrangements, socio-economic and ecological pillars could interact to make agricultural insurance programmes in low-income countries sustainable. Since most low-income countries are still piloting and up scaling their agricultural insurance programmes, I recommend incorporating the institutional, socio-economic and ecological dimensions into the design and implementation of their agricultural insurance schemes.

Influence of Ethanolic extract of Aspilia Africana leaf on the performance and egg qualities of Japanese quails
Authors: Oko O.O.K , Ozung P.O , Abang F.B
Published: April 2021

A 16-week trial evaluated the effects of ethanolic extract of Aspiliaafricana leaf (EeAaL) on the growth performance, carcass and egg characteristics of growing and laying quails. One hundred and eighty (180), one-week old Japanese quail chicks were assigned to six experimental diets (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10% EeAaL or 0.02% oxytetracycline). Each treatment had 30 birdswhich were further subdivided into three replicates of 10 birds. Each replicate was housed in a pen under the deep litter system; feed and water were provided ad libitum.Growth performance and egg characteristics(egg quantity and quality) indices were subjected to the one-way ANOVA in a completely randomized design (CRD). No significant (P>0.05) effect of EeAaL was observed between treatments on the final body weight and daily weight gains of quails. Feed conversion ratio (4.95 – 5.28) was significantly (P<0.05) improved in quails fed 2.5 – 7.5% EeAaL diets. Zero mortality was observed in quails fed 5 – 10% EeAaL diets compared to other treatments. EeAaL supplementation reduced (P<0.05) the amount of fat deposition in quail carcass, thus improving the carcass quality. The efficacy ofEeAaL was more pronounced in laying than growing quails where significant (P<0.05) differences were observed on some external and internal egg characteristics, whereas egg composition did not differ (P>0.05) between treatments. Egg number, hen day production, albumen weight,yolk weight, shell thickness and yolk colour were significantly improved following dietary EeAaL  upplementation, indicative of strong growth promoting and stimulatory effects.Therefore, for improved carcass and egg performances up to 7.5% EeAaL shoud be supplemented intoquail diets.Keywords: Leaf extract, growth rate, egg characteristics, bush marigold, quails
Landfill Lifespan Estimation: A Case Study
Authors: Akyen T. , Boye C. B. , Ziggah Y. Y.
Published: April 2021

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is one of the most serious environmental challenges facing the world at large due to the decomposing effect from the toxic gases being released into the environment by the MSW. The siting of landfill in any environment is a vital consideration that must be looked at due to the many factors such as the lifespan of the landfill, site selection, design, construction, operation and management. For this reason, it is important to estimate the lifespan of landfill accurately so as to explore the risk involved in acquiring new lands for landfills. Moreover, it is also necessary to consider proper methodology for estimating the lifespan of landfills. Based on these factors enumerated, various researchers have performed several laboratory tests in order to conclude on appropriate model that could be used to predict the lifespan of modern landfills. Mathematical models or expressions have also been suggested in literature as an alternative approach to the estimation of landfills lifespan. This research used the future value of money equation to estimate the lifespan of the Aboso landfill in Tarkwa, Ghana. The result showed that the landfill could operate for the next twelve years before it could exhaust its usefulness. Keywords: Landfill, Municipal Solid Waste, Lifespan Estimation
Revisiting the‘Duality of Meaning of some English Words: What’s on the Minds of Beginner Mining and Related Engineering Students’
Authors: Mireku-Gyimah P. B.
Published: April 2021

A previous paper, published by me in 2015, studied the meanings of 12 English words, written by a group of first year students of University of Mines and Technology. The objective was to determine whether the students knew both the technical or scientific/engineering meanings and the normal meanings of the words, namely: elevation, surveying, function, sign, model, drive, conductor, power, force, stress, spring, and shear. A sample size of 289 students represented the group. The students willingly did a non-test exercise that permitted them to anonymously write the meanings of the words as they knew them without reference to dictionaries. The students’ responses were put into five categories of meaning for each word. The results revealed that 84 (29.07%) provided only scientific/engineering meanings, 153 (53.00%) provided only normal meanings, 15 (5.16%) provided both scientific/engineering meanings and normal meanings, 32 (11.07%) provided no meanings (nil), and 5 (1.70%) provided wrong meanings of some words. Thus, the majority of the students did not know both meanings, which pointed to students’ vocabulary challenges. This paper is revisiting the previous paper, to do a follow-up, using the same method and English words as in the previous study to find the progress of the same group of students who are now in their third year of study. From the current results, out of a total of 289 students, 48 (16.46%) gave only scientific/engineering meanings, 98 (33.94%) gave only normal meanings, 100 (34.69%) gave both scientific/engineering meanings and normal meanings, 39 (13.41%) gave no meanings (nil), and 4 (1.50%) gave wrong meanings, of some words. It is concluded that the students have made progress but there is more room for improvement. Therefore, it is recommended that the students work harder, and also be exposed to the register of their engineering disciplines early. Keywords: Words, Duality of Meaning, First Year Students, Third Year Students
Water Washing of Fungal-treated Carbonaceous Ores: Effect on Aurocyanide Adsorption by Activated Carbon in CIL Circuit
Authors: Amankwah Richard Kwasi , Ofori-Sarpong Grace , Adzigbli Abigail Ewoenam
Published: April 2021

A typical challenge encountered on most gold processing plants during leaching of refractory ores is the reduction in recovery due to the presence of carbonaceous matter which preg-robs dissolved gold. To reduce preg-robbing during cyanidation, carbonaceous matter has to undergo pretreatment to passivate the active surface. The fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been shown to biotransform carbonaceous matter, thus reducing its ability to preg-rob gold. However, the possible transfer of entrained fungal biomass into Carbon-In-Leach (CIL) circuits has been reported to decrease the activity of activated carbon, and a proposed solution to this was to wash the fungal-treated material thoroughly with water before CIL operation. This paper therefore set out to assess the effect of water-washing on aurocyanide adsorption by activated carbon in CIL following fungal pretreatment of carbonaceous ores. To realise the objective, activated carbon was contacted with cell-free extract of P. chrysosporium under varying conditions of pH and time, after which it was washed with different volumes of water, and its gold-adsorption ability assessed.  The results revealed a decrease in the activity of activated carbon as a function of increasing contact time with the cell-free extract. The percentage decrease was higher after treatment in the acidic medium (13%) than the basic medium (9%). After washing the carbon (treated in acidic medium), gold adsorption was found to increase directly with the volume of water used from 64% at 0 mL to 84% at 500 mL and 91% at 1000 mL. Correspondingly, the carbon treated in basic medium recorded 69% at 0 mL to 87% at 500 mL and 93% at 1000 mL. This paper thus concludes that, sufficient water washing should be employed after fungal-biotransformation of refractory ores before CIL operation to decrease the effect of entrained biomass on the adsorption capacity of activated carbon. Keywords: Carbonaceous Gold Ore, Activated Carbon, Carbon-In-Leach, Cell-Free Extracts

Kontribusi Teologi Kepemilikan dan Fungsi Kekayaan Menurut Lukas bagi Upaya Pengentasan Kemiskinan di Indonesia
Authors: Hananti Vasika
Published: April 2021

The problem of poverty in Indonesia is still unresolved to date. Related to the problem of poverty, ideas emerge in an effort to alleviate poverty that focuses on empowerment, entrepreneurship and deacons. These three ideas of thought can lead to dangers, including: empowerment and entrepreneurship can trigger the spirit of capitalism which can lead to greed and high egocentrism. Whereas deacons can make people keep silent without the effort to move out of poverty. So that the three concepts of poverty alleviation do not fall into this danger, it is necessary to provide a basis for thinking about the theology of ownership and the function of wealth. One of the books that could provide a prospect for rationale is the book of Luke. The book of Luke leaves ample room for discussion of the theology of property and function of wealth. In this paper, the author uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method. The result of this research is that the book of Luke contributes thoughts about the theology of ownership and the function of wealth. His contribution is that in Luke's writings there is a systemic pattern that was born from the theology of property and function of wealth. This systemic pattern can contribute to the idea that the church can create a poverty alleviation system that not only works on an individualistic level, but also has a communal dimension that involves poor and rich people in order to create a community without social disparities.

"CyberAIMs stands for Cyber Agents’ Interactive Modeling and Simulation. We designed this tool in order to use it as an educational tool to teach Master students in a Cyber security course. This paper aims to describe the model and explain the design choices behind CyberAIMs in terms of associating them with the emerging concepts within cyber security curriculum, namely adversarial and systems thinking. The preliminary results indicate that the current distribution of values and entities allows most of the defense agents to avoid losing all their resources to their attack counterparts. We intend to use this tool as part of a lab with students in Information Security and further extend our target users, by including others who need training in adversarial and systems thinking. We conclude by providing rough results from running simulations with the tool and giving further directions of our future research, in order to improve the usability and level of detail for this tool."
Necati Cumalı Eserlerinde Kadın Karakterlerin İletişim Dili: Dila Hanım Örneği
Authors: KILIÇASLAN Emine
Published: April 2021

Necati Cumalı, tüm hayatını oldukça üretken bir şekilde yazma eylemine adamış önemli bir Cumhuriyet yazarıdır. Cumalı’nın, öyküleri romanları ve şiirlerinin yanı sıra yazdığı yirmi dokuz oyunu bulunmaktadır. Bu eserlerden bazıları tiyatro olarak sahnelenmiştir. Bazı romanları da Yeşilçam filmlerine konu olmuştur. Necati Cumalı’nın, eserlerinin işleyişine bakıldığında, kırsal kesim ilişkileri ve kasaba hayatında insan ilişkileri dikkat çekmektedir. Bu ilişkiler oldukça sıradan insanların, aile yaşamı, komşuluk ilişkileri olarak vurgulanmaktadır. Bu ilişkilerin iletileri, cinsellik, aldatma, kavga, dedikodu ve toprak kavgası gibi örüntüler içinde kadının yerini genç Cumhuriyetin geleneksel kültürü içinde eleştirel tarzda göstermektedir. Cumalı eserlerinde kadın karakterlerin rollerini ve statülerini geleneksel kültürün içinde işlemiştir. Sıradan kadını anlatırken kadının kültür içinde ezilen ve yok edilen duygularını vermektedir. Bu yok edilişe karşı boyun eğen kadın figürünün yanında duygularına ve arzularına teslim olan kadın figürlerine de eserlerinde yer vermiştir. Bu kadın figürlerinden en farklı olanı, Dila Hanım eserinde yer alan kadın modelidir. Çünkü Dila Hanım, Cumalı’nın eserlerinde işlediği diğer sıradan kadın figürlerinin dışına çıkmıştır. Dila Hanım, ata binen, silah kullanan, kinini güden ve kanını yerde bırakmayan bir kadın figürü olarak okuyucunun karşısına çıkmaktadır. Fakat, güçlü bir kadın karakter olan Dila Hanım bile geleneklere karşı çıkamamıştır. Aşkı yerine intihar etmeyi tercih etmiştir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Necati Cumalı öykülerinden Dila Hanım incelenmiştir.

La nueva monarquía, religión y sociedad. Felipe V y la Sevilla del lustro real (1729-1733)
Authors: Gámez Martín José
Published: April 2021

Durante la estancia de la corte de Felipe V en Sevilla entre los años de 1729 a 1733, la ciudad agonizante tanto social como económicamente tras perder la hegemonía universal que le hizo ser Puerta de las Américas, vive un período de esplendor que le hace soñar por ese tiempo con las glorias de tiempos pasados. La estancia de la corte exalta el sentimiento religioso del pueblo fiel, se sigue luchando por la definición dogmática de la Inmaculada Concepción, los reyes participan en ceremonias litúrgicas catedralicias y es el propio Felipe V el que consigue la finalización de la urna barroca de Laureano de Pina para venerar el cuerpo incorrupto de Fernando III beatificado en 1671 y cuyo estreno tuvo lugar el 14 de mayo de 1729 en una ceremonia claramente barroquizante y definida por un cronista contemporáneo como “la función mas prodigiosa que ha habido en los siglos”.

Hiperüriseminin Kas Gücü ve Kütlesi Üzerine Etkisi
Authors: ATEŞ BULUT Esra , KOCYIGIT Suleyman Emre , AYDIN Ali Ekrem
Published: April 2021

Amaç: Sarkopeni, yaşlı hastalarda istenmeyen sağlık sonuçlarına neden olan yıkıcı bir geriatrik sendromdur. Sarkopeni patofizyolojisinde, yaşlanma süreciyle artan inflamasyon ve oksidatif stresin önemli bir rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir. İnflamatuar etkilerinin yanında antioksidan özelliği olan ürik asitin (ÜA) kas gücü ve kütlesi üzerine etkisi net olarak belirlenememiştir. Bu çalışmada yüksek serum ÜA düzeylerinin sarkopeni ve bileşenleri üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2017 ile Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında geriatri polikliniğine başvuran ayrıntılı geriatrik değerlendirme yapılan hastaların dosya kayıtları incelendi. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, sistemik hastalıkları, laboratuvar değerleri elde edildi. Sarkopeni tanısı Avrupa Sarkopeni Çalışma Grubu (EWGSOP)’nun 2019 yılında revize ettiği tanı kriterlerine göre konuldu. Kas kütlesi biyoimpedans ile değerlendirildi, el kavrama gücü el dinamometresi ile ölçüldü. Katılımcılarda hiperürisemi, serum ÜA düzeyinin erkeklerde >7,0 mg/dL, kadınlarda ise >5,7 mg/dL olması olarak kabul edildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 559 hasta dahil edildi, katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 72,55±7,89 yıl olarak tespit edildi. Katılımcıların %60,2’si kadındı, %20,03’ünde hiperürisemi mevcuttu. Hiperürisemi grubunda diyabetes mellitus ve kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı tanısı daha sıktı. Sarkopeni ve diğer geriatrik sendromlar açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı fark gözlenmedi. Sarkopeni komponentlerinden düşük kas kütlesi, düşük kavrama gücü ve düşük yürüme hızıyla ÜA seviyesi arasında bir ilişki bulunmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: İnflamatuar ve antioksidan etkileri olan ÜA’nın sarkopeni ile ilişkisi net değildir. Hiperürisemi için risk faktörü olan obezite, kronik böbrek hastalığı ve kardiyovasküler hastalıkların kontrolü aynı zamanda sarkopeninin engellenmesinde de önem taşımaktadır. Bu aşamada, yaşlı hastalarda ÜA düzeylerinin takip edilmesi ve kronik hastalıkların optimal tedavisinin sağlanması önerilir.

Esse artigo recupera a trajetória do debate étnico-racial na profissão. Destacamos que o Serviço Social em sua gênese foi reprodutor acrítico do mito da democracia racial e que ao longo dos anos tem avançado na compreensão do racismo estrutural e sua intrínseca relação com o sistema de exploração/dominação capitalista. Tal entendimento, tem servido para compreendermos que o enfrentamento ao racismo se constitui enquanto uma tarefa imperativa e compromisso ético-político dos/as Assistentes Sociais Brasileiros/as.

Published: April 2021

Este artigo examina as estratégias de proteção social adotadas por mulheres com câncer de mama para acessar os serviços de saúde e realizar o tratamento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com dez mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama. Procedeu-se à análise de conteúdo, do tipo temático, enfatizando-se três dimensões centrais: (a) acesso aos serviços de saúde; (b) rede social de apoio; e (c) oferta e utilização de programas e políticas sociais. Os resultados apontam para dificuldades de acesso aos serviços de saúde, incidindo no prognóstico e nas chances de cura. Em relação às políticas sociais, o auxílio-doença foi o recurso comumente acionado pelas mulheres, restringindo-se aos contribuintes da Previdência Social. Na escassez de políticas públicas, a família constitui a principal rede de proteção social à disposição das mulheres, mas com limites importantes em termos de sua capacidade protetiva.

El sistema bancario del Ecuador se lo realiza en un mercado cotidiano y la población no se encuentra familiarizada con el manejo de monedas y criptomonedas, sin embargo, en la globalización la Criptomoneda está tomando su lugar y el Ecuador no es una excepción. Las criptomonedas se encuentran en el mercado y las transacciones con ellas poco a poco se va siendo familiar para algunos ecuatorianos que toman el riesgo de invertir tomando en cuenta que es una moneda descentralizada y que no existe una entidad gubernamental que la controle y regule; la moneda virtual más importante, conocida y utilizada para la realización de transacciones es el bitcoin. En el lapso del tiempo, las monedas virtuales nacen por las dificultades mundiales en el ámbito de la economía: En el año 2009 nace la primera moneda virtual “BITCOIN” por su creador Satoshi Nakamoto y desde entonces han aparecido un  sin número de monedas virtuales que han fundado un nuevo mercado “las criptodivisas” en las que diariamente realizan transacciones; uno de sus principales riesgos es la volatilidad porque su valor se basa en la especulación de la oferta y la demanda y puede generar exuberantes ganancias o trágicas perdidas. En el Ecuador el Banco Central del Ecuador ha sido muy específico informando a los ecuatorianos que las criptomonedas dentro del país no son legales pero que tenemos la libertad y responsabilidad de realizar las transacciones que deseen por medio del internet. El mercado de las criptomonedas es muy reciente a comparación del mercado tradicional, las criptodivisas es un mercado de mucho riesgo del que no se tiene mayor conocimiento y al decidir hacer una inversión se puede convertir en presa fácil de estafadores y oportunistas; sin desmerecer que en el futuro las criptomonedas pueden jugar un papel importante, revolucionario en el mercado de sistemas financiero en todo el mundo

Argumento que os esforços para apontar uma diferença essencial, entre as várias diferenças típicas parcialmente fundamentadas em tradições disciplinares, obscurecem as complexidades existentes em cada campo. negligenciadas tanto as propriedades transversais dos campos como as possibilidades de pontes teóricas entre eles.

PANDANGAN RASHĪD RIḌĀ TERHADAP ISRĀILIYĀT DAN ALKITAB DALAM TAFSĪR AL-MANĀR
Authors: Adabi Muhammad Akrom , Mubarok Abdullah
Published: April 2021

This paper studies on Rashīd Riḍā’s view on isrāiliyyāt and the Bible in his tafsir al-Manār. As a reformer in the field of exegesis, Riḍā found urgent necessity in returning al-Qur’an to its original purpose which is to give guidance. The problem is that Riḍā saw many authors of exegesis work (mufassir) before him give profuse and unnecessary exegetical discussion. To Riḍā, displaying this kind of lavish information diverts from the original vision of al-Qur’an and cannot be tolerated. In this case, Riḍā resolutely opposes the quotation of isrāiliyyāt. Interestingly, behind this stance, Riḍā quotes the Bible in his work. This becomes the main focus of this study; how Riḍā views isrāiliyyāt and the Bible, what is the essential difference between the two according to Riḍā, and what is the reason behind his quotation of the bible and his opposition against isrāiliyyāt?. To analyze this topic, descriptive-analytical method is used. The result is, it is found that according to Riḍā, isrāiliyyāt are just unfounded stories and not worth quoting. While the Bible in Riḍā’s view is a holy book containing the New and Old Testament the truth of which is believed by the People of the Book themselves. In this case, Riḍā believes that the source worth quoting is only one which is ṣaḥīḥ and marfū’ from the Prophet. Whenever it has to be from the People of the Book, one should quote from the Bible even though Riḍā himself realizes that there are many oddities in it. There are several reasons behind Riḍā’s quoting the Bible (1) Bible is still sourced to the books of Ahl al-Kitab. (2) Bible becomes the guidance of Ahl al-Kitab. (3) Bible can be accounted for according to the Bible.(4) Bible does not have negative motives toward Islam. Key words: Rashīd Riḍā, Tafsir al-Manār, isrāiliyyāt, the Bible

Under the rules of Isutzu’s scholarship, this research wants to approach the Qur’anic tāghūt semantically. It concludes that the basic meaning for tāghūt in the Qur’an is “transgressing bounds” whereas its relational meanings are: idols (in Q. 4: 61, 40: 17, 16: 36), propagandists of digression (Q. 2: 256, 257), false legislation attributed not to God and His Messenger (Q. 4: 60), polytheism (Q. 4: 76) and rebellion to God (Q. 5: 60).

Published: April 2021

Love is a part of human emotion in form of complete tendency toward an object. As a life guidance, the holy book of Al-Qur‟an brings to life not only the physical dimension but also the psychological dimension of humankind. Al-Qur‟an has defined one single object as the fundamental base of life namely love to the Creator of life Himself, Allah AWT. Love to God is the primary foundation which has to be built on every Muslim‟s soul. With love, worshipping feels enjoyable and with it life is both physically and mentally healthy. The problem is, why is this ideal concept not yet realized optimally in life? This writing aims at formulizing Dzu al-Nun al-Misri‟s proposition on the concept of love to Allah. Through the interpretation of verses on love, this normative concept can hopefully become a guide towards a life full of love, without violence and disunity. Key words: love, hub-mahabbah, Dzu al-Nun al-Misri
