This paper discusses the Value of Character Education in QS. al-Ṣāffāt / 37: 102-103. To obtain data, the researchers traced data through the library (library research) through searching books and research results related to the problem under study. The approach used in this research is the normative theological approach, psychological approach, and historical approach. The data analysis technique used is deductive namely data processing techniques by analyzing the data and information that have been obtained, but still scattered and then collected and analyzed so that the data and information are intact and can provide a true picture of the object under study. This data analysis technique is done by departing from general data and then drawing conclusions that are specific.The results found that QS. al-Ṣāffāt / 37: 102-103 commentators explain the story of the Prophet Abraham who was willing to slaughter his son named Ishmael for obedience and patience to obey God's commands through his dreams supported by obedience of the child to the commands of his parents. Character education in the verse is divided into three main points, namely: First. The method, the method used is the method of command, dialogue, and example. Second. The principle, the principle used is the principle of integration, balance, rububiyah, and open. Third. Material, material taught is patience, obedience, politeness, and sincerity. With the wisdom contained in this verse, educators, especially parents can educate their children using the methods and methods of the prophets as exemplified by the prophet Ibrahim in educating their children to be children of character.

Differential expression of centrosomal protein 55 in triple negative breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2022

Women diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer can benefit neither from endocrine therapy nor from HER2-targeted therapies (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with triple negative breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding centrosomal protein 55, CEP55, when comparing the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer to normal mammary ductal cells (2). CEP55 was also differentially expressed in bulk tumor in human breast cancer (3). CEP55 mRNA was present at significantly increased quantities in TNBC tumor cells relative to normal mammary ductal cells. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of CEP55 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal A type cancer, while within triple negative breast cancer, primary tumor expression of CEP55 was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal-like 1 and immunomodulatory subtype disease. CEP55 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of triple negative breast cancers.

Time of flight fragmentation spectra generated by the proteomic analysis of single human cells do not exhibit atypical fragmentation patterns
Authors: Orsburn Benjamin C
Published: November 2022

Recent work detailed the unique characteristics of fragmentation spectra derived from the peptides from single human cells. This valuable report utilized an ultra-high field Orbitrap and directly compared the spectra obtained from high concentration bulk cell HeLa lysates to those obtained from nanogram dilutions of the same and from nanowell processed single HeLa cells. The analysis demonstrated marked differences between the fragmentation spectra generated at high and single cell loads, most strikingly, the loss of high mass y-series fragment ions. As significant differences exist in the physics of Orbitrap and time of flight mass analyzers, a similar analysis appeared warranted. A similar analysis was performed using isolated single pancreatic cancer cells compared to large pools consisting of one hundred single cells. While a reanalysis of the prior Orbitrap data supports the author’s original findings, the same trends are not observed in time of flight mass spectra of peptides from single human cells.

Published: November 2022

The datasets include relevant psychological and demographic variables relating to people’s relationships, perceptions, and reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic. Participants were recruited from the United States (N = 396), China (N = 156), and Iran (N = 248). Participants were directed to an online survey that assessed their psychological well-being, affective states, factors related to life satisfaction, and their experiences with the Covid-19 pandemic. For the United States, participants were separated by developmental stage (e.g., young adults between 18 and 35 years old and older adults who were 55 years old or older). Participants from China and Iran were 18 years old or older. Participants from the United States also provided qualitative data in the form of a text-box response where they described their reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic. These data may be relevant for researchers who want to investigate cross-cultural or developmental differences in people’s psychological states, perceptions, and reactions in the beginning phases of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Three-step latent class analysis with inverse propensity weighting in the presence of differential item functioning
Authors: Clouth Felix J. , Pauws Steffen , Vermunt Jeroen
Published: November 2022

Bias-adjusted three-step latent class analysis (LCA) is a popular tool to relate external variables to latent class membership. The integration of causal inference techniques such as inverse propensity weighting (IPW) with LCA allows for addressing causal questions about the relationship between these external variables and the latent classes even when data is collected in an observational design. However, LCA’s key assumption of conditional independence between external variables and latent class indicators is often violated in practice. This is the case when external variables have direct effects on (some of) the latent class indicators, i.e., when a (nominal) covariate represents subgroups showing measurement non-invariance (MNI) or differential item functioning (DIF). Following the approach by Vermunt and Magidson (2021), we propose a modification of the bias-adjusted three-step LCA with IPW to account for DIF. Covariates causing DIF, specifically the treatment or exposure variable, should be included in the first step, that is, the estimation of the measurement model. Furthermore, in the third step, that is, the estimation of the structural model which includes IPW, the step-three classification error adjustment needs to be allowed to differ across the values of the DIF covariates. Additionally, we propose a modelbuilding strategy to identify if the treatment or exposure variable shows MNI or DIF. Our newly proposed approach is illustrated using a synthetic and a real-life data example and is implemented in the program Latent GOLD.

Published: November 2022

Early predictors of language, reading, and mathematics are typically examined independently of each other. This study investigated how early cognitive predictors across domains could predict future academic skills across domains using data from 563 students in kindergarten to second grade (ages 5 to 8; 388 males; largely monolingual English). The roles of language, literacy, and numeracy measured as predictors of later academic grades were examined. Results found that academic domains did not always differentiate as expected. Further, kindergarten language and literacy skills were independent predictors of academic outcomes in grade one. By grade two, early language continued to predict language grades, whereas literacy skills predicted mathematics. Results are discussed in light of the overlapping relationships between language, reading, and mathematics.

Published: November 2022

The study was planned to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) bark powder ethanolic and aqueous extracts. Screening of cinnamon powder ethanolic and aqueous extracts for antibacterial sensitivity and MIC against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was carried out. ABST was performed by the disc diffusion method. The cinnamon powder ethanolic and aqueous extracts were suspended in a solution containing 10% dimethyl sulfoxide and 0.5% tween 80. Under aseptic condition, empty sterilized discs were impregnated with 50 μl of different concentrations (50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% and 3.12%) of the cinnamon powder ethanolic and aqueous extracts and placed on the agar plate surface. Paper disc moistened with vehicle (DMSO plus tween 80) was placed on the seeded petri plate as a vehicle control. Standard disc containing antibacterial drugs (gentamicin, tetracycline, cefpirome and ampicillin) were used as reference control. The petri plates were incubated at 37°C for 18 h. After the incubation period, the zone of inhibition was measured. Among the tested bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli showed the sensitivity at different concentration of cinnamon powder ethanolic extract whereas Streptococcus agalactiae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed no zone of inhibition. Aqueous extract of cinnamon powder showed no antibacterial activities against all tested bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration of cinnamon powder ethanolic and aqueous extracts were determined by micro-broth dilution technique. The results of MIC revealed that both ethanolic and aqueous extracts showed various MIC against all tested bacteria. Ethanolic extract of cinnamon powder has lower MIC value against Staphylococcus aureus among tested bacteria.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: World Health Organization recommends first 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding after birth. It helps in proper growth and development of child. At the same time, it reduces infant mortality by preventing common childhood illnesses and helps for a quicker recovery during illness. So, the study aimed to identify the perceived hindering factors of exclusive breastfeeding among lactating mothers.
Methods: A community-based, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Itahari Sub-Metropolitan City. Convenience sampling technique was used to select a total of 123 lactating mothers having infants 0-6 months. A pretested questionnaire was used to interview mothers. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: Although nearly all mothers (97.6%) had knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding and 93.5% of them had correct knowledge of recommended duration of EBF, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was only 17.6%. Breastfeeding was initiated within 1 hour by 68.3% of mothers. Half of the mothers perceived that only mother’s milk is not sufficient to their child and about 22% of the mother’s perceived that their child is thirsty and should give water to the infant. Ethnicity and EBF duration to first child in multiparous mother was significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice.
Conclusions: Majority of the mothers do not practice EBF although they had known the recommended duration. The major hindering factor of EBF was the perception of the mother that the mother’s breastmilk only is not sufficient to the infant.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Immobility is a condition in which a person is unable to move freely or movement is restricted for medical reasons. Prolonged bed rest and immobilization inevitably leads to complications. Caregivers play a vital role in preventing the complications of immobilization and avoiding discomfort for the patient. This study aims to assess awareness on prevention of complications of immobility among caregivers of bedridden patients admitted in tertiary health care center.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used to assess 66 caregivers of college of medical sciences by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. Data was collected by using self-administered questionnaire to assess awareness through face-to-face interview method. Obtained data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics using IBM SPSS 16.
Results: Study findings revealed that the mean age of the respondents was 18 years with mean age 18 ± 11.87 and majority (54.5%) were female with higher percentage of respondents’ involvement in agriculture (28.3%). Majority (68.2%) of the respondents stayed in hospitals for 1 to 5 days and 51.5% respondents had no previous experience of hospital stays. Among the total respondents, majority (83.3%) had inadequate awareness on prevention of complication related to immobility which varied with respondent’s gender (p=0.047), educational level (p=0.001), occupation (p=0.0026) and information from television (p=0.005).
Conclusions: Majority of the respondents had inadequate awareness on prevention of complication related to immobility. Findings emphasize that awareness programs should be implemented time to time in hospital settings to update the caregivers in relation to preventive measures of complications of immobilization.

Published: November 2022

Background The fixed dental prosthesis are one of the most commonly used prosthesis which are difficult for cleansing in dental clinical practice especially the interproximal areas. As a result, periodontal disease most commonly develops in interproximal areas. The efficacy of using dental floss and interdental brushing in addition to tooth brushing reduce plaque and gingival inflammation.

Objective To assess gingival condition in patients after placement of fixed dental prosthesis for a period of 3 months who regularly use or do not use dental floss and interdental brushing.

Method Patients visiting the Dental Outpatient Department of Dhulikhel Hospital were selected for study. The examination was conducted using basic diagnostic tools (Mouth mirror, periodontal probe and explorer). The total number of patients involved in the study were 200. Teeth and gingiva were examined using the Plaque (Silness and Loe) and Gingiva Index (Löe and Silness). The examinations were conducted after 15 days and 3 months of placement of fixed dental prosthesis along with the oral hygiene instructions. Chi-square test and McNemar Bowker test were done to find statistical association using SPSS 20.0.

Result Statistical analysis showed that there was association between frequency of interdental cleaning and plaque index (p=0.012) and gingival index (p=0.036) examined in 15 days and 3 months.

Conclusion Use of Interdental cleansing aids was statistically significant to oral hygiene outcomes i.e. plaque index and gingival index. Oral hygiene instructions play a vital role in improving overall oral health.

Authors: Risal P. , Maharjan A. , Bhatt R. D. , Tamrakar D.
Published: November 2022

Background Androgen deficiency is diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms and laboratory assessment of testosterone level. Different screening tools have been developed to evaluate the sign and symptoms.

Objective In this study, we examine the validity and reliability of the Nepali version of the quantitative Androgen Deficiency in Aging Male (qADAM) questionnaire to screen androgen deficiency in Nepali male.

Method English dialectal quantitative Androgen Deficiency in Aging Male questionnaire was forward translated to Nepali version and backward translated. This version was reviewed by a panel of an endocrinologist, a clinical psychiatrist, a physician, and a clinical biochemist. A final Nepali version of qADAM was developed. Thirty-one healthy male aged 31-70 years were administered with the questionnaire in two separate occasions two weeks apart. Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability were calculated to identify validity and reliability, respectively.

Result In the Nepali translated questionnaire, Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency from ten items is good (0.68). The Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency from nine items without item 7 is 0.706. Seven out of ten items had an R-value of > 0.7. In the total sample, Standard Error Mean (SEM) ranged from 0.00-0.44 for qADAM. SEM% are low for all variables (0.00-11.20%). MDC95 ranged 0.00-1.234. MDC95% ranged 0.00 – 31.05% and was < 30% for majority of variables (90%).

Conclusion The final translated Nepali questionnaire seems reliable and valid. A future study measuring the Nepali questionnaire with testosterone level and another biochemical test in control and androgen deficiency patients will help validate the questionnaire.
DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF A MULTI-RECEIVER WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM BASED ON TRANSMITTER CONTROL METHOD
Authors: J. Mohammed Muthana , K. Hassan Turki
Published: November 2022

As is usual in a multiple-receiver wireless power transfer (WPT) system based on s-s geometry, the power of load obtained and system efficiency are very sensitive to changes in the number of receivers. An improved multi-receivers WPT system is introduced that ensures the power given for each load remains stable while other receivers enter or exit the system. This study proposes a multiple-load WPT system operated by a class E amplifier. The equivalent system circuit model is analyzed of major parameters such as receiver power, transmitter power, transmission efficiency, and each load power allocation. A control circuit is proposed to obtain high transmission efficiency, power control for the transmitter, and arbitrary power distribution ratios of receivers for different loads. The cross-coupling between the receiver coils is prevented by adding compensating capacitors at the receiver side in series. This further increases the power stability obtained by loads. Finally, in order to verify the feasibility of the proposed process, simulation results are presented.

Aplikasi tersebut harus mampu memenuhi kebutuhan Posyandu dalam pencatatan kegiatan dari beberapa faktor, yaitu pengguna, alat pendukung dan lokasi, maka aplikasi yang dibuat berbasis web menjadi pilihan yang tepat, mengingat pengguna dapat menggunakan aplikasi melalui ponsel masing-masing. Digitalisasi Posyandu Mardi Rahayu terbukti telah membantu pencatatan rutin kegiatan posyandu menjadi lebih efektif dan efisien, dibuktikan dengan penggunaan Posyandu Digital pada saat kegiatan rutin posyandu setiap bulan.
The Impact of Maternal Parenting Style on Sibling Relationships: A Transnational Study on Two-Child Families of China and the United Kingdom
Authors: Bi Huichao , Liu Jiajun , Yan Rong
Published: November 2022

This study, through a survey of two-child families in China and the UK, aimed to explore the differences, similarities, and associations between sibling relationships and maternal parenting styles from a transnational point of view. A total number of 107 mothers (UK: N = 55; China: N = 52) with two children were administered through a battery of online questionnaires respectively. Results showed no significant differences in the quality of sibling relationships between the two countries. Conflict and competitive behaviours among siblings greatly outnumbered warmth-related ones for both countries. In terms of maternal parenting style, permissive and authoritarian parenting styles were more dominant in both China and the UK compared with the authoritative style. However, British mothers tend to be more authoritarian than their Chinese counterparts towards both older and younger children. Although significant transnational correlations were found on the associations between maternal parenting style and the quality of sibling relationships, the authoritative parenting style was found to be more conducive to reduce the conflict behaviours between siblings in the UK, while the authoritarian parenting style turned out to be more effective among Chinese mothers. The above findings deepen our understanding of the association of parenting styles with sibling relationships. Implications on parenting practice to improve the quality of sibling relationships are also offered.
Visualizing Vigilance in the Generalized Representation of the Nomad
Authors: Bhattacharyya Urmi
Published: November 2022

Reflecting on the generic construction of the nomad through discursive imaginaries and regulatory forms of control, this work engages in the interpretation of vigilance through the acknowledgment of its connectedness to the politics and practice of visuality. Based on essentialized interpretations of identity, ahistorical accounts of mobility, and stereotypical representations of difference, generalized nomadic representations legitimize measures of vigilance and subject formation. By reflecting on the representation of the Banjara community in Rajasthan, India, and their contexts of socioeconomic discrimination, the article thus emphasizes how acts of vigilance in the form of measures of classification and discipline operate in relation to imaginaries of normative order and social distinction, to engage in the structural reproduction of distance, difference and (in)visibility.
Framing the “Refugee Hunter”
Authors: Ilieva Kristina
Published: November 2022

In this article, I explore the construction of the “refugee crisis” from the perspective of border vigilantes in Bulgaria. Drawing on ethnography in Harmanli, a border town with a refugee camp, the article explores how the identity and agency of the “refugee hunter” emerged. I argue that the gendered identity of the “refugee hunter” combines a national feminized victim and a vigilant masculinized protector. The masculinized protector patrols the Bulgarian-Turkish border in order to defend the victimized national community from the immigrant Other and the nongoverning state. The article illustrates that the refugee hunter identity has produced a new mode of hegemonic masculinity, where immigrant men and women are constructed as criminals, while men’ border patrols as heroic.
The Patrols’ City
Authors: Tulbure Corina
Published: November 2022

In Barcelona, in the name of convivencia (a concept that means togetherness, conviviality, public order), various municipal services have created teams to patrol the city. These are “proximity” services, a type of social vigilance managed by social patrols who aim to survey specific areas in Barcelona within which poor, illegalized, and racialized people, move, work, and live. Drawing on ethnographic notes and interviews with the patrols and people affected by this “proximity” vigilance, I show how institutional vigilance produces insecurity and perceptions of conflicts. In addition, this vigilant presence disrupts the intimacy of affected people, taking away their autonomy and producing alienation. Paradoxically, in the name of convivencia, the vigilance of illegalized and racialized people produces their isolation from the city, creating a social and racial order.
Introduction
Authors: Grabska Katarzyna , Horst Cindy
Published: November 2022

Violent conflict and displacement reconfigure societies in abrupt, dramatic, and often contradictory ways. Power relations are often shaken up, with new social hierarchies emerging. Artists play a central role in periods of uncertainty and volatility, both as commentators of events and as inspirators for change. This special section explores the role of art practice in transformation in contexts of violent conflict and displacement. The articles focus on artists that either create in the context of oppression and control or respond to these contexts by creating spaces of resistance, life in and with violent conflict, transformation, and inspiration. The articles discuss a range of initiatives and artistic practices that take place in a variety of contexts, from artists involved in societal transformation in Afghanistan, Cambodia, and Syria, to artists working in Palestine, Chad, Sri Lanka, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Study of the degree of security of Web applications based on the analysis of their structure and information content
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Anypchenko O. Ye.
Published: November 2022

The article examines the security issues of Web applications depending on their morphological structure and structure. It is shown that Web applications are one of the most vulnerable systems today. The more critical and sensitive data the software stores, the more important it becomes to control its security. The definition of user information content in the WWW, which exists, was analyzed, and it was found that it is highly specialized and mutually contradictory. A new conceptual definition of user information content is proposed - as information content that was created by website users who are not representatives of its owner organization and placed on the WWW as part of a creative, communicative, promotional or other process without prior professional editing.

Financial Derivatives Hedging: A Review of Islamic Finance at Cross Roads
Authors: Tashfeen Rubeena , Khan Muhammad Mahmood Shah , Abid Sheikh Khurram
Published: November 2022

Principles of Islam advocate risk distribution and prohibit speculative activities. Therefore, financial derivatives under Islamic Sharia would achieve hedging in the true sense and could be applied more effectively to reduce risks and speculation. With the increased complexities of financial capital markets, effective financial instruments are required and Islamic financial derivatives may be the answer to averting a similar global financial crisis in the future. Based on various schools of thought and fiqh in Islam, we provide a critique of Islamic Sharia tenets in relation to conventional derivative instruments. We also illustrate how conventional financial derivatives may be integrated into Islamic finance an existing model. The key challenge for Islamic finance is agreement on a universal set of Islamic laws, regulations and principles that are acceptable across all the sects of Islam. As it is there is a non-consolidation of fatwas and a lack of a common Islamic jurisprudence.Our review highlights that the problem lies in the non-acceptance of a universally acceptable Islamic conceptual framework and not in the lack of financial engineering capability.

Published: November 2022

n 1849, the British occupied Multan city and carried out transformation sin areas like technical, administrative, canal colonies, and irrigation. Religiously and socially, Multan was distributed into three main groups i.e. Hindu, Muslim,and Sikhs. Having strong political backgrounds Muslim families such as Syed,Qurashi, Gilani, and Gardezi also influenced the economic scenario. This study focuses on the socio-economic transformations that were prevalent in the Multan region during British rule. Power and socio-economic backwardness results in an unfair distribution of resources in Multan. The Multan region is chosen for analysis as it was a major center of structural and urbanization transition and the economic resources that Britain brought to the region along with other parts of Punjab during the colonial period. These include changes to new irrigation systems, improved communications, and land revenue management. The focus of this study is the interaction between communities and colonial states.

Foundations of Language Fear and Anxiety as Internal Communicative Barriers among L2 Learners at Graduation Level
Authors: Akbar Humaira , Ahmad Saeed , Khan Dilawar
Published: November 2022

The sole objective of this research was to find out 'the sources of fear and anxiety as internal communicative barriers among L2 learners' and 'the impacts of fear and anxiety as internal communicative barriers.' Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The majority of the foreign language learners responded that due to internal communicative barriers such as fear and anxiety, their foreign language communicative ability is badly disturbed as the effect of these two internal/affective factors increases, and the communicative ability of L2 learners of BS English decreases. On the contrary, as the influence of these factors decreases, the interactive communication of foreign language learners increases. Favourable teaching conditions and teachers' assistance are the only courses to overcome or minimize the injurious effect of these two internal hindrances.
