Background: Physical inactivity during adolescence can result in an unfavorable consequence of imbalance. Total resistance exercise (TRX) muscle resistance exercise increases static balance and prevents muscle injuries in female students by strengthening body muscles. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of total body muscular resistance training on the static balance of female student cohorts. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 50 female students aged 12 - 15 who resided in Gorgan, Iran. The data collection tool was the stork's static balance test. The intervention group received ten training sessions (45 - 60 minutes) over ten weeks, but the control group received the routine school exercises. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS-21 software, wherein descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired t-test, independent t-test, and ANCOVA, were employed at a significance level of 0.05. Results: ANCOVA analysis, after eliminating the pre-test influence, indicated that the intervention group significantly improved the static balance of both the right (Eta = 0.57, P < 0.01) and left leg (Eta = 0.46, P < 0.01), after total body muscle resistance exercise (TRX) intervention. Conclusions: Based on the results, engagement in muscular can augment muscle strength and preserve the body's equilibrium. Therefore, managers and health professionals should use this inexpensive, applicable, and safe exercise method to increase physical fitness and prevent musculoskeletal injuries among students.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Aneurysm formation of internal carotid arteries (ICA) in patients with mucormycosis is a scarce phenomenon. However, the prevalence of rhino-cerebral mucormycosis has been reported to increase after the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Case Presentation: Three patients with stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage presented due to ICA aneurysm after the involvement of adjacent paranasal sinuses (PNS) with mucormycosis. They had a history of diabetes and corticosteroid use. Also, one of them was treated with imatinib. Two out of the three patients were infected with SARS-CoV-2 before developing mucormycosis. Two patients had diagnostic angiography before endovascular intervention. One patient did not undergo any therapeutic intervention due to total artery occlusion, whereas the other patient experienced a successful parent artery occlusion by coiling and only survived this patient. Although all patients received antifungal treatment and surgical debridement, two of them died. Conclusions: In patients with rhino-cerebral mucormycosis, aneurysm evolution should be promptly and meticulously investigated by Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) and Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). As this type of aneurysm is very fast-growing, as soon as the involvement of the sphenoid sinus is detected, the possibility of ICA aneurysm formation should always be kept in mind. If the patient develops an aneurysm, prompt intensive antifungal therapy and therapeutic endovascular interventions such as stenting, coiling, or sacrificing should be considered as soon as possible to optimize outcomes.

Background: Most patients who are infected by COVID-19 develop recovery from it; however, some of these patients experience a variety of mid- and long-term physical and/or mental effects after their initial illness recovery. These mid and long-term effects are collectively known as post-COVID-19 conditions or “long COVID.” Objectives: We aimed to detect the incidence of long COVID syndrome (LCS) and its determinants. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, previously hospitalized subjects due to COVID-19 were selected by systematic random sampling. A valid checklist was filled out by phone interview with each participant, while hospitalization data were extracted from hospital information system. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The mean age of 1,738 interviewees was 54.2 ± 14.5 years. The median time of follow-up was 352 days. Overall, 1,526 (87.8%) interviewees had at least one symptom of LCS. Among physical symptoms, hair loss (23.9%) and among psychological complaints, depression (69.1%) were predominant. Anemia (odds ratio (OR): 3.22, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.49 - 6.98), patients of second epidemic wave (OR: 2.82, 95% CI: 1.57 - 5.07), use of vitamins/minerals (OR: 2.25, 95% CI: 1.53 - 3.3) or antibiotics (OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.02 - 3.33), diabetes mellitus (OR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.11 - 3.23), who were not the head of their families (OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.18 - 2.32) and use of antivirals (OR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.03 - 2.61) were significantly associated with LCS. Conclusions: COVID-19 pandemic is not over, and most COVID-19 survivors suffer from LCS. Therefore, the establishment of integrated post-COVID care systems for these patients is highly needed and recommended.

Published: December 2024

Background: Researchers recently found that megakaryocytes and hematopoietic progenitor cells can be found in the lungs. Therefore, during chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung damage may also affect platelet function and number. Objectives: Our study investigated the association between platelet indices and disease severity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Imam Reza (AS) and Ghaem (AS) hospitals in Mashhad in 2021. The study was conducted on patients with stable COPD at the lung clinics of these centers and non-COPD outpatients referred to the internal clinic. In both groups, the demographic and clinical information of the patients was recorded, followed by the patients' platelet indices. The platelet indices of COPD patients were compared with non-COPD patients in addition to an intergroup analysis based on disease severity defined by the global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD) classification. Results: There were 100 patients in the study, among whom 50 (50%) had COPD. Neither of the groups differed significantly in age (P = 0.85) or gender (P = 0.68). Compared to the case group, the mean platelet volume (MPV) of non-COPD subjects was significantly higher (P = 0.01), but other platelet indices were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Comparing platelet indices between different stages of COPD demonstrated that the mean platelet volume was significantly different (P = 0.04), while others were not (P > 0.05). Conclusions: According to this study, COPD patients have a lower MPV value than non-COPD individuals.

Published: December 2024

Background: The family, as the smallest and the most influential unit of society, plays a pivotal role in the development of personal, social, and human values. Objectives: The current study aimed at developing and psychometrically evaluating the successful marriage factors questionnaire in youth. Methods: The current methodological study was designed in two stages. In stage one, a qualitative conventional content analysis was conducted successful couples and experts in marriage-related fields. By using the obtained results, a 129-item instrument was designed. In stage two, the qualitative and quantitative face and content validity, as well as the convergent and construct validity, were measured, and the reliability of the instrument was assessed. Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability were employed to determine internal consistency and estimate the stability, respectively. Results: After assessing face and content validity, 129 items were reduced to 80; then the construct validity was performed using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and then a 62-item successful marriage factors questionnaire (SMFQ) was formed. The convergent validity of the tool was measured by the 47-item ENRICH marital satisfaction scale (EMS), and a significant correlation was found between the total score of the 47-item EMS and its dimensions and those of constructs and entire SMFQ. In the third stage, the internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) and stability of the instrument were estimated, which were 0.969 and 0.962, respectively. The total minimum and maximum scores of the questionnaire are 62 and 310, respectively. Conclusions: A 62-item SMFQ was developed and psychometrically evaluated in the present cultural context of Iran, and it was a valid and reliable scale for the evaluation of factors affecting the successful marriage.

Published: December 2024

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent entrapment neuropathy occurring due to increased pressure in the carpal tunnel. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the degree of symptom improvement, safety, and the change in electrophysiological findings after ultrasound (US)-guided versus Landmark (LM)-guided local steroid injection for the treatment of CTS. Methods: This randomized clinical trial recruited 52 patients with moderate or moderate-to-severe CTS. The subjects were randomly assigned to US-guided or LM-guided corticosteroid injection groups and received 40 mg methylprednisolone. After four weeks and 12 weeks of treatment, the patients were evaluated using the Boston questionnaire and electrophysiological parameters were determined. Results: All variables, including symptom/functional scores and electrophysiological findings, improved significantly in both groups after four weeks (all P < 0.05), except for compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude in the LM-guided group. The LM-guided group showed a regress in all variables in the 12th week compared to the 4th week; however, these improvements persisted at week 12 post-treatment in the US-guided group (P < 0.05), except for the functional status scale (FSS) and sensory nerve action potential (SNAP). The improvement in the CMAP amplitude at week 12 was more in the US-guided group than in the LM-guided group (P < 0.05); however, the SNAP amplitude and SNAP nerve conduction velocity (NCV) improved more significantly in the LM-guided group. Significant differences were not observed between the groups with respect to the symptom severity score (SSS), FSS, SNAP latency, and CMAP latency at weeks 4 or 12 after treatment (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The symptom severity, functional status, and all electrophysiological parameters improved significantly in both US-guided and LM-guided corticosteroid injection groups and generally, no statistically significant difference was observed between both methods.

Published: December 2024

Background: In the Iranian-Islamic culture, the family is considered a valuable and important social unit. However, in recent years, developments in society have increased family breakdowns and diminished familial relationships. Therefore, designing a conceptual model and identifying effective educational components for couples is a dire need of Iranian society to strengthen families. Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate educational strategies for couples to enhance family bonds through qualitative expert analysis. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted with an exploratory-descriptive approach, and the population included all university professors and experts on marriage and family. With purposive sampling, 32 experts in Yazd, Iran, were selected. The data were collected through semistructured interviews, recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using grounded theory and Strauss and Corbin's systematic approach. Results: The findings based on open coding of 124 statements revealed 14 concepts in 7 categories. By combining the categories, axial coding introduced 4 main components (couples' insight and awareness, communication and cultural literacy, mental and emotional health, and rational-emotional strategies). Selective coding, along with the graphic design of a paradigmatic framework, represented the final theory. Conclusions: Attention to these dimensions and components can provide a roadmap for assessing and resolving marital difficulties by marriage counselors and couples therapists.

Published: December 2024

Background: Acute and chronic ethanol consumption causes oxidative stress in the liver and Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ginger) ginger improves the function of the liver. Objectives: In the present study, the hepatoprotective effects of ginger extract on liver enzymes, lipid profiles, and indices of oxidative stress, including antioxidant enzymes activity and Malondialdehyde (MDA) against hepatotoxicity induced by ethanol in male rats was evaluated. Methods: Twenty-eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to four groups and were treated daily for 28 days as follows: group I: control (received normal saline), group II: ginger (1 g/kg/day ginger extract solution in saline by oral gavage), group III: ethanol (4 g/kg/day ethanol by oral gavage), and group IV: ginger + ethanol. At the end of the experimental period, obtained sera from blood samples were used for assessment of liver enzymes and lipids, and liver tissue homogenate was used for estimating oxidative biomarkers. Furthermore, total phenolics content and in vitro antioxidant potential of ginger extract was determined to correlate hepatoprotective activity with phytochemical and antioxidant activity. Results: In the ethanol group, the results showed a significant increase in biomarkers of oxidative stress and liver function biomarkers compared to other groups (P < 0.05). The level of altered enzyme markers was ameliorated significantly in the ginger co-treatment (ginger + ethanol) group (P < 0.05), while no significant difference in biochemical parameters were observed in ginger alone and control groups. Conclusions: It can be concluded that ginger extract has protective effects against toxicity induced by ethanol in the liver of male rats. The protective effect may be attributed to the presence of phenolics and flavonoids components.

Financial Distress and Earnings Management An Empirical Study of Non-Financial Firms Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Soraya Ayu Sheila , Arieftiara Dianwicaksih
Published: December 2024

This study examines the relationship between financial distress and earnings management among non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2018–2022. This study uses a quantitative approach using the modified Jones model to measure discretionary accruals, with leverage, firm size, and profitability included as control variables. Data from 342 companies are analyzed to determine whether companies facing financial distress are more likely to engage in earnings management as a strategy to improve their financial performance.
The findings reveal that profitability has the strongest positive effect on earnings management, indicating that firms with higher profitability are more likely to manipulate earnings to improve financial results and meet market expectations. In contrast, leverage shows a significant negative effect, indicating that firms with higher debt levels are less likely to engage in earnings manipulation due to increased creditor monitoring and financial discipline. Meanwhile, financial distress and firm size have minimal impacts, with their coefficients showing no significant effect on discretionary accruals.
These results highlight the importance of profitability and leverage as key drivers of earnings management while suggesting that financial distress and firm size play a smaller role in this context. This study acknowledges limitations, including its focus on non-financial firms in Indonesia, the five-year observation period, and the exclusion of additional factors such as governance and macroeconomic conditions. Future research could address these limitations by expanding the data set, incorporating more variables, and exploring other emerging markets.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Project-Based Learning (PJBL) model in enhancing students’ understanding of the Akidah Akhlak subject at SDN 77/I Penerokan, Bajubang District, Batang Hari Regency. The PJBL method was applied over one month in November 2024, involving students in real-world application-based projects, such as creating posters on ethical values, group discussions, and presentations. The results show that the PJBL method significantly improved students’ learning outcomes, with the average score rising from 65 to 80. The percentage of students meeting the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM) of 75 increased from 28% to 84%, while the percentage of students not meeting the KKM decreased from 72% to 16%. Additionally, student participation in the learning process increased from 35% to 85%, demonstrating that PJBL effectively boosted student motivation and active engagement. PJBL also positively impacted the development of 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and effective communication. These findings support Thomas (2000), who stated that PJBL enhances student engagement through practical and applicable learning approaches, and Hmelo-Silver (2004) in (Indah et al., 2024), who confirmed that PJBL effectively improves students’ abilities to solve complex problems and work collaboratively in groups. However, the study noted several challenges, including difficulties in task distribution during the initial implementation phase and time management issues. These obstacles were addressed through additional teacher guidance, schedule adjustments, and more structured task allocation. Overall, the results of this study indicate that PJBL is an innovative and effective teaching method for improving students’ understanding of Akidah Akhlak material while simultaneously developing non-academic skills. With its real-world project-based approach, PJBL creates more practical, meaningful learning experiences and motivates students to engage in active learning. The study recommends implementing PJBL in other subjects at the elementary level to improve overall teaching quality. Additionally, intensive training and continuous evaluation are needed to enable teachers to design and execute PJBL optimally. With further development, PJBL can serve as a solution to enhance the quality of education at the elementary level, particularly in value-based learning such as Akidah Akhlak.

U narednim redovima obradit ćemo pitanje nasilja u porodici, ali i upotrebe bilo kakvog fizičkog udarca u odgajanju ili preodgajanju članova porodice, što je tema aktualna u mislimanskim zajednicama ovoga i prošlih vremena i koja je izazivala brojne polemike kako među učenjacima tako i među muslimanskim masama. O tome ćemo govoriti kroz prizmu rješenja Evropskog vijeća za fetve i istraživanja, stavova islamskih pravnika i zakona nekih savremenih arapskih zemalja. Upustit ćemo se u stavove islamskih pravnika i njihove argumente po pitanju upotrebe bilo kakvog udarca u cilju odgoja i preodgajanja, nastojeći, putem tradicije Allahovoga Poslanika, s.a.v.s., i vjerodostojnih tumačenja kur'anskog ajeta ...pa ih i udarite (faḍribūhunna), doći do ispravnoga stava zabrane nasilja i izbjegavanja upotrebe fizičkog kažnjavanja u porodici. Također, u radu ćemo se baviti obavezom i lijepog suživota među članovima porodice, što je preduvjet nepostojanja bilo kakvoga oblika nasilja među njima. Pribjegli smo potpunom rasvjetljavanju teme kroz sučeljavanje različitih stavova i argumenata da bismo došli do ispravnih zaključaka i spriječili evidentnu zloupotrebu dijela navedenoga kur'anskog ajeta kod nekih muslimana.

TÜRK BOZKIR SİYASİ HÂKİMİYET ANLAYIŞINDA “UÇ AÇMANIN” AMİLLERİ
Authors: Eroğlu Engin
Published: December 2024

İklim ve coğrafyanın gereklerine uygun bir biçimde sürdürülen yaşam tarzları; bireylerin, toplulukların ve milletlerin karakterleri, dünyayı algılama biçimleri, sanat anlayışları ile örf ve adetleri üzerinde belirleyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu bağlamda Orta Asya iklim ve coğrafyası içerisinde yaşayan Türk bozkır topluluklarının geniş bir kuşak üzerinde yayılmalarında hiç şüphesiz konargöçer yaşamın ve bozkır kültürünün mayalandığı uçsuz bucaksız bozkırların yetiştirdiği cihanşümul ve alp karakterli insan tipinin çok büyük bir etkisi bulunmaktadır. Bunda kozmogonik anlayış ve idrakin ve ona bağlı gelişen cihanşümul bir yönetim anlayışının benimsenmesinin de oldukça büyük bir etkisi bulunmaktadır. Doğu-batı ve kuzey-güney istikamette binlerce kilometre genişlikte bir sahaya tekabül eden coğrafyanın sınır boylarında, diğer bir ifadeyle uç bölgelerde çeşitli milletlerle insani, kültürel ve ticari ilişki kurmada, atlı göçebelik ya da konargöçerliğin özgün ve dinamik sosyal ve siyasal yapısı ile birlikte coğrafi hususiyetler belirleyici olmuştur. Bu anlamda uç kelimesi “sınır” anlamına gelmekle birlikte, kendine özgü siyasi ve kültürel bir oluşumu ifade eden bir anlamı da ihtiva etmektedir. Konargöçer bozkır toplulukları, uçsuz bucaksız bozkırlara özgü sosyal, siyasi, iktisadi ve kültürel karakterleriyle komşu bölge ya da ülkelerle yoğun ilişkiler içerisine girmişlerdir. Bozkır yaşam tarzı içerisinde iklim ve bu iklimin beslediği hareketli yaşam; sosyal, ekonomik ve siyasal nedenlerle göç olgusunu sürekli olarak beslemiştir. Bu bağlamda Türklerin tarih sahnesine çıkışları, başka milletlerle karışmaları ve tarihi sürece yön vermeleri, çoğunlukla göçlerin bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Konar göçer yaşam döngüsü içerisinde, bozkır topluluklarının dünyayı algılama biçimleri ve birtakım ihtiyaçlarına çözüm üretme çabaları, hareketli yaşam tarzına uygun bir biçimde yön bulma ve arazi topoğrafyasını iyi bir biçimde değerlendirme yeteneğini de geliştirmiştir.

Authors: Şen Rumeysa
Published: December 2024

Tarih boyunca, Türkiye ve Çin arasında doğrudan ya da dolaylı yollarla bir iletişim süregelmiştir. Osmanlı ve Qing Hanedanlığı'nın kesişen kaderleri ve “Hasta Adam” algısı, bu iki imparatorluğu uzun süre Çinli aydınların ilgi odağı haline getirmiştir. XIX. yüzyıl sonu XX. yüzyıl başlarında, Çin'in önde gelen aydınları ve yeni Cumhuriyet’in liderleri, Türkiye’yi kendilerine bir ayna görerek, deneyimlerini dikkatle takip etmiş ve bu birikimler üzerinden kendi geleceklerine bir yön çizme çabası içinde olmuşlardır. Bu çalışma, dönemin önemli aydınlarından Wang Tao'nun yazıları ve Türkiye üzerine yaptığı araştırmalar ekseninde, XIX. yüzyıl sonlarından itibaren Çin'de değişen Türkiye algısını ve bu algının temel dinamiklerini inceleyerek, Türk-Çin ilişkilerine farklı bir bakış açısı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
EMİR ABDUL RAHMAN HAN DÖNEMİNDE AFGANİSTAN KADINLARININ DURUMU (1880-1901)
Authors: Müjdeci Mustafa , Arianpor Rahmetullah
Published: December 2024

Afganistan kadınları, Emir Abdul Rahman Han’ın yönetimi sırasında tüm insani ve İslami haklardan mahrum bırakıldı. Afaghaneh (Peştunlar) kabilelerinin toplumsal kültüründeki anti-feminist zihniyet ve bu zihniyetin yöneticileri tarafından diğer kabilelere yayılması, bu toprakların kadınlarının en zor ve karanlık zamanlarını geçirmesine neden olmuştur. Afganistan kadınlarının bir kısmı savaşın, siyasetin ve ticaretin kurbanı oldu, bazıları da o kadar fakirdi ki yok olup gittiler. Emir Abdul Rahman Han’ın şiddet ve baskısına karşı ayaklanan Hazara kadınları ve diğer etnik gruplar iç ve dış pazarda köle olarak satıldı ve bunlardan elde edilen gelirler Afganistan Emirliği’nin ekonomik toparlanmasına katkı sağlıyordu. Bu dönemin kadınları sağlık ve eğitimden tamamen mahrumdu. Ayrıca Kabil’deki ve ülkenin diğer büyük şehirlerindeki kadın cezaevleri kadın mahkumlarla doluydu. Cezaevlerinde kızlara ve kadınlara tecavüz etmek sıradan bir şey olarak görülüyordu. On binlerce kız çocuğu genç yaşta zorla evlendirildi ve bu toprakların erkekleri tarafından cinsel saldırıya uğradı. Afganistanlı kadınların bir kısmı yorucu ve zorlu işlerle meşguldü. Ayrıca soylular, hanlar ve kabile büyükleri tarafından şehzadelere, ordu komutanlarına ve hükümet görevlilerine pek çok kız hediye edildi. Emir’in kadınları desteklemek için çıkardığı birkaç kararname sadece kağıt üzerinde ve bir avuç yakınının hafızasında kaldı ve hiçbir zaman uygulanmadı. Genel olarak, Emir Abdul Rahman Han’ın yönetimi sırasında Afganistan kadınlarının siyasi, sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik durumu felaket ve berbattı. Bu makalede Emir Abdul Rahman zamanında Afganistan’daki kadınların durumu ve yaşadıkları ele alınacak ve değerlendirilecektir.
