The Typology of Authority in Islam (Analysis of the views of the Islamic community In Indonesia about Ulil Amri in the Determination of the Beginning of Hijri Months)
Authors: Musonif Ahmad
Published: March 2024

Abstract

The diversity of Muslims in Indonesia is accompanied by a diversity of paradigms causing Muslims to be divided into several diverse communities. This community is in the form of religious organizations, congregations, or certain recitals. Each community of Muslims has various views regarding Ulil Amri or religious authority. Based on the typology, religious authority in Indonesia can be divided into Rational Legal, Substantive, Charismatic, and Traditional authorities. The acceptance factor of a community towards a certain authority is based on a rational factor based on religious or community values and also an effective factor. In addition, the competence of the authorities is also a factor in his acceptance as the party followed by his orders.

Keywords: The Typology Of Authority, The Islamic Community, The Ulil Amri, Hijri Month.

Abstrak

Keberagaman umat Islam di Indonesia disertai dengan keberagaman paradigmanya menyebabkan umat Islam terbagi-bagi dalam beberapa komunitas yang beragam. Komunitas ini dalam berbentuk organisasi keagamaan, Jamaah tarekat, ataupun jamaah pengajian tertentu. Masing-masing komunitas umat islam ini memiliki pandangan yang beragam terkait Ulil Amri atau pemangku otoritas keagamaan. Berdasarkan tipologinya otoritas keagamaan di Indonesia dapat dibagi menjadi otoritas Rasional Legal, Rasional Substantif, Kharismatik, dan Tradisional. Faktor penerimaan (acceptance) suatu komunitas terhadapemangku otoritas tertentu didasarkan pada faktor rasional berbasis nilai agama atau komunitas dan juga faktor afektif. Selain itu kompetensi pemangku otoritas juga menjadi faktor diterimanya sebagai pihak yang diikuti perintahnya.

The Study of Ma'anil Hadith: A Contextual Analysis of The Meaning of Hadith on Women's Leadership
Authors: Ahmadi Imam
Published: March 2024

This study examines the contradictions of the Hadith prohibiting women as leaders contextually which had become a hot debate among the ulama madhhab. Rooted in historical cultural roots, women are seen as inferior in their position under men's dignity. Women are believed to be a disgrace to the family because they are physically weak on the battlefield and are enslaved as biological satisfactions for their husbands. Although women in the era of jahiliyyah society have eroded their rights, now in the era of Muslim society women are recognized for their rights and are held in high esteem as mothers. Some evidence of gender equality in Islam is in the arguments stated by the Prophet Muhammad in the hadith and the word of God in the Qur'an. This discourse was studied using the library research method with a literature study approach model. The purpose of this study is to explain the relationship between matan hadith and culture and to give meaning to the hadith of women's leadership from a cultural perspective. The scope revolves around the hadith of women's leadership with the boundaries of the present and past cultural customs of society. This study resulted: (a) Traditionally, women play a more important role in protecting the family, both husband and children, (b) The hadith prohibiting women's leadership has an asbab al-wurud side which is not sufficiently understood in text because in context women still have the right of authority as leaders.
EPISTEMIC CONTESTATION IN DETERMINING THE POSITION OF THE SUN DURING FAJR IN INDONESIA
Authors: Musonnif Ahmad
Published: March 2024

Epistemic contestation in determining the position of the sun at fajr (dawn) in Indonesia occurred between Muhammadiyah and the Ministry of Religion as government representatives supported by Nahdlatul Ulama. This contestation pattern is in the form of a correction by Muhammadiyah to morning twilight criteria set by the Ministry of Religion. The government stipulated that the height of the sun at dawn is -20o while Muhammadiyah stated that the height of the sun should be 18o. Muhammadiyah's correction was based on research by the Muhammadiyah research team. Then the Ministry of Religion formed a research team that found that the sun's height at dawn is -20o. The Muhammadiyah research team falsified the findings of the Ministry of Religion team because the data is considered manipulative. The Ministry of Religion then responded with follow-up research elsewhere. Nahdlatul Ulama took part in this contest by forming a research team whose results contradicted the results of the Muhammadiyah yet strengthened the Ministry of Religion's decision regarding the morning twilight criteria. The contestation does not lead to an epistemic meeting point. Although both parties used the same method, namely empirical observations in the field, the pre-assumptions at the time of the research led to different conclusions.

RELIGIOUS MENTAL HEALTH: A SHIFT TO AN ISLAMIC PSYCHOLOGY
Authors: Afifah Tsaqifa Aulya
Published: March 2024

An understanding of mental health cannot be separated from an idea of ​​being healthy and sick both physically and spiritually. Various studies have revealed that there is a relationship between physical and mental health, where individuals who are calm and peaceful inside tend to have a positive effect on mental health. That will be the important point in this paper. By using the type of library research, this study focuses on two forms of data, namely primary data and secondary data. Primary data obtained from psychological and Islamic literature regarding mental health. While secondary data is obtained by looking at the verses of the Qur'an which discuss mental health. The core study in this article discusses two different concepts of mental health; first is the concept of a healthy soul in the psychological aspect called "Mental Health" and the second is the concept of a healthy mind in the religious aspect called "Nafsul Muthmainnah". Both of them show their interrelationships to realize mental health. The concept of Integration-Interconnection initiated by Amin Abdullah is applied in this study to link psychological studies with Islamic studies which focus on the concept of mental health. The results of this study have given birth to a new term called "Religious Mental Health".

Agricultural expansion is advancing on marginal soils (Plinthic soils), but the liming recommendation for this soil, especially for soybean cultivation, remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate soybean (Glycine max) responses to limestone doses in concretionary soils (plinthic and/or petroplinthic). The experiment was carried out in the greenhouse, in randomized blocks, with four soil types and six limestone doses (4x6 factorial scheme), with four replicates. Soils were: RYO: Red-Yellow Oxisols; CPP-29, CPP-72, CPP-82 corresponds to the Concretionary Petric Plinthosol with 29, 72, and 82% concretions, respectively. Limestone doses varied from 0 to 4 times for each soil, based on the recommendation of regional bulletins. Soil temperature, crop emergence, development, and soybean yield characteristics were evaluated. Results were evaluated by ANOVA, followed by the LSD test or polynomial regression adjustment (p ≤ 0.05). Soybean response to liming varied with soil types. Seedlings showed lower vigor in Plinthic soils with plinthite contents ≥72%. These soils showed higher thermal accumulation (°C), and this increase showed a strong negative correlation with soybean development and reproductive characteristics. Evidence of liming response was observed after crop stage V5. Limestone substantially improved soybean growth and development in Plinthic soils with high plinthite levels, although they had lower yield potential than low plinthite levels and Oxisol. In general, the maximum response of the crop occurred at doses ~2 times higher than that practiced in the Brazilian Savanna region, especially in Plinthic soils

Budding axillary buds are crucial for the establishment and longevity of commercial and industrial sugarcane varieties (Saccharum spp.). Increasing the longevity of sugarcane varieties beyond the fifth or sixth cutting stage without decreasing agricultural productivity is a promising economic outlook for producers. Identifying the factors that limit the longevity of cane fields can be an alternative to bypass the regrowth limits of axillary buds. This study aimed to evaluate the bud sprouting rates of axillary buds of the variety RB867515 from the first to the fifth cut and to identify the prevalent proteins in the axillary buds of sugarcanes of the first, third, and fifth cutting stages. The ultra-performance liquid chromatography in tandem with quadrupole-time-of-flight electrospray ionization from one-dimensional gel electrophoresis (1DE-UPLC-ESI-QTOF) mass spectrometry approach was used to obtain the proteome of the axillary buds in the first, third, and fifth cuts. The sprouting rate was evaluated using a caliper and considered positive when the budding of the axillary buds increased by at least 6 mm. Proteins were extracted in biological triplicate for each cutting stage, and the identification of proteins, based on acquired MS/MS spectra, was performed using the Mascot tool from Matrix Science against Viridiplantae within the SwissProt/UniProtKB and databases UP7305_Z_mays in Uniprot. The budding rate in the axillary buds of the first cut was 69.8%. In contrast, the germination rate of the axillary buds of the third cutting was 36.4%. Exclusive proteins were identified in the first, third, and fifth cutting stages, and a 49.3% reduction in the number of proteins was observed in the third cut compared to the first one. Absence of essential proteins/enzymes involved in i) carbohydrate metabolism, ii) folding and degradation of proteins (proteolytic functions), iii) 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits, and iv) proteins involved in biotic and abiotic stresses, are factors that may limit the longevity of cane fields from the third cut before the fifth or sixth cutting stage, when productivity in the field became economically unfeasible

Published: March 2024

This study aimed to assess the agronomic performance of five sorghum hybrids irrigated with two replacement levels of crop evapotranspiration (ETc). The experimental design was randomized blocks in a 5x2 factorial scheme with four replications. The factors were dual-purpose sorghum hybrids (AGRI 002-E, AGRI G1, AGRI G2, BREVANT SS318 and BRS 58) and water replacement levels (50% and 100% of ETc). The replacement of 50% of ETc was defined as water deficit (WD). The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, and sorghum was grown in pots. The mean comparison test showed that plants under WD condition had low values of height, stem diameter, leaf area, chlorophyll content, and a 37% reduction in shoot dry mass productivity. The analysis of principal components revealed that the correlations between the variables changed according to the water regimes. Under WD, water productivity, shoot dry mass, and leaf area index were highly correlated with each other and with the hybrid AGRI 002-E. The hybrid AGRI 002-E showed better performance under normal irrigation conditions, while under WD conditions, the hybrids BREVANT SS318 and BRS 658 also showed good performance. Hybrids with higher leaf area and water productivity performed better under water-scarcity conditions

Wheat is the second most produced cereal in the world. The gap between production and consumption in Brazil shows that wheat production must be increased to meet the domestic demand. In this context, the objective of this study was to determine the crop coefficient of wheat and the ideal moment for irrigation, based on the soil water depletion rate (f). The study was carried out in the tropics, on an Oxisoil (Typic Haplustox), in an experimental field of Embrapa Cerrados in Planaltina, Federal District of Brazil. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with three replications. The treatments were differentiated by the soil water depletion index (f) of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8. In other words, irrigation was initiated when 20, 40, 60 and 80% of the available soil water capacity (AWC) at a soil depth of 0.4 m was consumed by the crop. Wheat yield and yield components were evaluated. The phenological development was monitored based on Zadok’s scale, in days after emergence, and the management parameters crop coefficient (Kc) and irrigation timing were determined. The results indicated a soil water depletion index of 0.4 as the best indicator for beginning wheat irrigation. Under this condition, Kc can be estimated daily as a function of days after emergence (DAE) by the quadratic polynomial regression or curve fitting method, adjusted as follows: Kc = −0.000298 × DAE² + 0.036695 × DAE + 0.332486. Alternatively, the means of Kc of each phenological crop phase can be used: Kc = 0.45 (establishment); 0.81 (tillering); 1.21 (booting); 1.43 (flowering); 1.27 (grain formation); and 0.89 (maturation). Thus, there is a limit of consumption of soil available water, at which wheat still achieves the full yield potential, with a rational use of water which varies according to the development phase.

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is a perennial plant globally known for its unique texture, good flavor, and high nutritional value. This paper aims to provide information on the phenotypic traits, the situation of stem blight disease of the imported asparagus varieties and introduce suitable asparagus cultivars for Vietnam. The evaluation of morpho-agronomical characteristics variability of 13 imported asparagus cultivars in the first growing year was arranged in a Random Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replicates in Hanoi, Vietnam. Genetic diversity was assessed using hierarchical clustering on principal component analysis of all measured traits. The results showed that 13 asparagus cultivars were classified into 4 main groups matched with geographical origins based on principal component analysis. Atlas achieved the highest harvested yield (11.4 quintals ha-1) in the first harvesting time, which is correlated with high root CHOs level, followed by UC157, WB231 and Grande varieties. Purple passion had the highest sugar and vitamin C content. However, all varieties were infected with stem blight disease. In general, Atlas could be recommended for asparagus cultivation in Vietnam with high yield and good quality

The pre-inoculation of soybean seeds optimizes sowing process, enhancing biological nitrogen fixation, seed quality, and overall crop yield. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pre-inoculating soybean seeds with the commercial inoculant Biofix Premium (Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens SEMIA 5080 and Bradyrhizobium japonicum SEMIA 5079, 5x10^9 CFU/mL), along with a cell protector and chemical treatment. Four soybean trials were performed in Paraná, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Goiás states during the 2021/2022 agricultural year, utilizing a randomized complete block design with four treatments and six replications. The treatments were: 1- Control (no inoculation); 2- Fertilization with 200 kg.ha-1 of nitrogen; 3- Commercial standard seed inoculation (50 mL/50 kg of seeds) on the sowing day; 4- Seed inoculation with Biofix Premium (125 mL/100 kg of seeds), Protetor Ultra (0.5 mL/kg), Potenzial TS (0.2 mL/kg), and CoMo Platinum (100 mL/ha), applied 60 days before planting. Results showed that Biofix Premium applied 60 days before sowing, formed nodules and nodule mass similar to the comercial inoculant applied at sowing day. This led to a similar nitrogen fixation, chlorophyll content, shoot dry mass accumulation, grain yield, and nitrogen content compared to the comercial inoculant applied at sowing day. Yield gains with Biofix Premium ranged from 5-8% compared to the control (without inoculation), with no significant differences from the commercial seed inoculation applied on the sowing day. The use of insecticides and fungicides together with Biofix Premium, Protector Ultra, and Potenzial TS is recommended in the pre-inoculation of soybean seeds up to 60 days before sowing, without compromising plant nodulation and crop yield

This study is focused on the application of the ultraviolet/peroxymonosulfate/cobaltous cation (UV/PMS/Co2+) (cobalt II ion) system for the successful degradation of bromocresol green (BCG) dye in an aqueous solution. The influences of different variables like initial PMS concentration, pH of the media, and catalyst dose in terms of BCG degradation were studied. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the UV/PMS/Co2+ system for the degradation of BCG was performed in different water systems (i.e., deionized water, tap water, and industrial wastewater). UV and UV–PMS systems alone contributed 13 and 67%, respectively, in the degradation of BCG with the kapp values of 0.006 and 0.0297 min−1, respectively. It was observed that by the incorporation of Co2+ in the UV–PMS system, the degradation of BCG was significantly increased from 67 to 98% with the corresponding increase in kapp values to 0.0931 min−1. The scavenger results revealed the SO4•- and •OH radicals are the dominant species involved in the BCG removal. The toxicity data showed that the UV/PMS/Co2+ method considerably reduced the toxicity of textile effluent. In addition, seven BCG degradation products (DPs) have been identified experimentally using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In conclusion, the UV/PMS/Co2+ procedure can be used to effectively cleanse and detoxify wastewater.

Análisis de las exportaciones de oro del Perú: Comportamiento a corto y largo plazo (2009-2019)
Authors: Navarro Angeles Oscar Fernando
Published: March 2024

El oro es uno de los productos que más contribuyen al valor de las exportaciones mineras del Perú. En el periodo 2009-2019, el valor de las exportaciones de oro del Perú evidenció un comportamiento fluctuante en el corto plazo y una tendencia creciente en el largo plazo. El trabajo muestra la influencia del precio del oro en las fluctuaciones del valor de las exportaciones y el efecto del volumen exportado en la tendencia del valor de las exportaciones de oro del Perú. Se observa una relación directa de largo plazo entre el comportamiento del precio del oro y de los índices bursátiles de China, Suiza e India, países que se encuentran entre los principales importadores de oro a nivel mundial, lo que permite inferir que el comportamiento de las economías de los referidos países ha influido en el precio del oro. El incremento del número de los principales países de destino del oro peruano, pasando de tres (2009) a cinco países (2019), ha permitido mantener una tendencia creciente del valor de las exportaciones de oro del Perú. La demanda total de oro de estos cinco países (Suiza, Canadá, EEUU, India y Emiratos Árabes) habría sido influenciada por el comportamiento de sus respectivos PBI, influencia que habría estado condicionada por la situación de la economía mundial. Se ha aplicado el análisis descriptivo-comparativo, regresión lineal y correlación a las series de tiempo para identificar las relaciones entre variables.
Nanostructured Lipid Carriers of Donepezil Hydrochloride for the
Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Tekade Avinash , Susar Ram , Kulkarni Gajanan , Surwade Samiksha , Gaikwad Anil
Published: March 2024

Background:

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a long-term brain disorder that worsens over
time. A cholinesterase inhibitor called Donepezil HCl (DNZ) is used to treat and control AD. Due
to its failure to reach the appropriate concentration in the brain cells, its efficacy upon oral administration is limited, and thus investigation of alternative administration route is necessary.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to develop donepezil HCl-loaded Nanostructured Lipid
Carriers (NLCs) that can bypass the blood-brain barrier and thus be directly delivered to the brain
through the nasal route. This method improves availability at the site of action, reduces the negative effects of oral medication, and ensures an expedited commencement of action.

Method:

High-pressure homogenization and ultrasonication were used to formulate NLCs. Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) as a solid lipid, Tween 80 as a surfactant, and Poloxamer 407 as a co--
surfactant were used. In this study, argan oil was employed as a liquid lipid as well as a penetration enhancer.

Results:

The chosen NLCs displayed a particle size of 137.34 ± 0.79 nm, a PDI of 0.365 ± 0.03,
and a zeta potential of -10.4 mV. The selected formulation showed an entrapment efficiency of
84.05 ± 1.30% and a drug content of 77.02 ± 0.23%. The concentration of the drug in the brain after intravenous and intranasal administration of DNZ NLCs at 1 h was found to be 0.490 ± 0.007
and 4.287 ± 0.115, respectively. Thus, the concentration of DNZ achieved in the brain after intranasal administration of DNZ NLCs was approximately 9 times more than the concentration when
administered by intravenous route.

Conclusion:

The DNZ-loaded NLCs, when administered via nasal route, showed markedly improved drug availability in the brain, suggesting an efficient drug delivery strategy to treat
Alzheimer's disease.

Authors: Gaur Kajal , Siddique Yasir Hasan
Published: March 2024

Environmental pollutants pose a serious risk to human health and are involved in the
emergence of many diseases and disorders. In recent years, the research for efficient defence
against these pollutants has focused much interest. Natural flavonoid apigenin in various fruits
and vegetables has shown great defence against environmental toxins. This review aims to summarize
the current knowledge regarding the protective effect of apigenin against environmental
pollutants and its underlying mechanisms. The study starts by summarizing the main industrial
chemicals, environmental pollutants, water contaminants, and the health hazards they provide.
The article discusses apigenin's bioactive attributes and focuses on its anti-inflammatory, detoxifying,
and antioxidant activities. Previous studies have shown that apigenin supplementation can
reduce oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA damage, and organ toxicity from pollutants. The molecular
processes behind apigenin's anti-inflammatory effects are explored, including its interactions
with important signaling networks. Additional research is required to assess its ideal dosage,
bioavailability, and potential interactions with other drugs. Moreover, more human studies are
required to evaluate the long-term advantages and safety of apigenin supplementation as a defence
against the harmful health consequences of environmental contaminants.

conventional monotherapy. A specific combination of antibiotics exhibits a synergistic antibacterial effect, which can be seen with kanamycin, which shows moderate antibacterial activity
alone but acts synergistically with particular adjuvants, displaying a high degree of antibacterial
activity

Objective:

This study aimed to carry out an in vitro evaluation of the interaction between kanamycin and adjuvants against various bacterial species.

Methods:

The interaction between kanamycin and adjuvants against various bacterial isolates
was determined by checkerboard assay, and the synergistic interactions were further evaluated
by time-kill kinetic assay under in vitro settings.

Results:

The interaction between kanamycin and citric acid was found to be synergistic against
all strains of E. coli. Both kanamycin and citric reduced their MICs by at least 4 fold in combination. This synergistic interaction was further confirmed by the time-kill kinetic assay. The
result of time kill kinetic assay of combination revealed that at MIC, there was a 2.36 log10
CFU/ml reduction compared to kanamycin (the most active antimicrobial agent alone), at 24
hours at 2 fold MIC, 2.41 log10 CFU/ml reduction was seen in comparison to kanamycin at 24
hours at its one fold MIC. For other bacterial species, the combination of citric acid and kanamycin showed additive or indifferent interactions. In the case of our second combination (kanamycin and sodium salicylate), all the bacterial species displayed additive and indifferent interaction.

Conclusion:

It has been concluded that the combination of kanamycin and citric acid (adjuvant)
demonstrated a remarkable synergistic interaction against E. coli.
Hermeneutiek in de preekvoorbereiding
Authors: Pleizier T.T.J.
Published: March 2024

This article examines the relationship between preaching and from the perspective of sermon preparation. It proposes three layers of hermeneutical processes: ‘biblical hermeneutics’, ‘theological hermeneutics’, and ‘hermeneutics as resonance’. On a deeper level, resonance, an alternative to what Reformed homiletics called ‘application’, can process the insights of modernity and postmodernity. Dealing with the scriptural text during sermon preparation, resonance enables the preacher to focus upon a lived spirituality.

Background and Aims: Cultivation of Ganoderma on vineyard pruning wood chips improves the productivity and biochemical composition of their fruiting bodies. Consequently, it has gained traction as an alternative for recycling viticulture waste. The current trend is to increase the production of Ganoderma bioactive compounds in liquid culture. This work aims to evaluate the effect of vineyard pruning extracts on biomass in the liquid culture of Ganoderma native strains from the Sonoran desert, Mexico. Total triterpenoid and antioxidant capacity were prospected in the most competitive native strain vs. control strain.
Methods: Vineyard pruning extracts of different polarity and concentrations were evaluated in a cornmeal-glucose-peptone liquid culture to grow Ganoderma spp. for seven days at 25 °C. The antioxidant capacity was determined with ORAC, FRAP, and TEAC assays. The total triterpenoid content was estimated using the spectrophotometric method. The structural analysis was determined by FTIR.
Results: The highest overall biomass production was observed in Ganoderma oerstedii, followed by G. subincrustatum, G. weberianum, and G. lucidum (control strain). The highest biomass production was obtained with the polar extract at 500 µg/l. The culture conditions produced a variable response in the antioxidant capacity. The highest total triterpenoid content (686±21 µg/ml) was observed in G. oerstedii at nine days of culture. FTIR analysis showed the presence of hydroxyl and enol groups, and benzene rings characteristic of triterpenoids.
Conclusions: Response surface analysis revealed that vineyard pruning extracts enhanced biomass production of Ganoderma spp. in liquid culture. The enhancement varied based on the species, polarity, and concentration of the extract. The antioxidant capacity and total triterpenoid content exhibit variations according to time and culture conditions.

"Conditions of Senior Citizens Without Membership in the Social Security System": QUALITATIVE STUDY- PHENOMENOLOGICAL METHOD (Preprint)
Authors:   Jabay,
Published: March 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

Senior citizens are an integral part of our society; they may reach old age but still have needs to sustain themselves. However, what if they have worked hard at a younger age but still have no pension that supports them in their retirement? The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the conditions of senior citizens who do not have membership in the Social Security System (SSS). This study included the reasons behind, plans, and realizations of older adults based on their own experiences and circumstances. The researchers utilized a face-to-face interview and a semi-structured interview questionnaire. Purposive, convenience and snowball sampling are used to determine the respondents. Statements were voice-recorded, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. There are two emergent themes in the conditions of non-pensioners, in the presented reasons behind non-membership, and realizations of senior citizens. The plans of older adults consist of four emergent themes. The study concluded that older adults have their way surviving in daily life, but one thing common in their condition is that they are still suffering and still aiming to achieve continuous assistance for themselves, as the demands of their needs cycle. The reasons also presented the impact on older adults, which led them to keep their pre-retirement plans unplanned and eventually put them in their current conditions as non-pensioners. This shows that the conditions of older adults with no pension to rely on are an everyday battle, but they still find ways to prioritize the welfare of the self and family.
Роль запалення у взаємозв’язку цукрового діабету та пародонтиту

Published: March 2024

Сучасні дослідження показали тісний взаємозв’язок здоров’я ротової порожнини з цукровим діабетом (ЦД). За результатами досліджень, низький відсоток пацієнтів з діагнозом «цукровий діабет» регулярно відвідує стоматолога з приводу обстеження та, за необхідності, проводить лікування захворювань пародонта, і багато пацієнтів не знають про вплив ЦД на здоров’я порожнини рота. Обізнаність щодо захворювань пародонта серед хворих на ЦД дуже низька порівняно з їхніми знаннями про підвищений ризик розвитку таких ускладнень, як ретинопатія, нефропатія, полінейропатія тощо. Захворювання пародонта та ЦД тісно пов’язані між собою і є дуже поширеними хронічними захворюваннями. Запалення є критично важливим фактором розвитку та взаємозв’язку ЦД із захворюваннями пародонта, і його важливість стає ясною лише зараз. ЦД однозначно підвищує ризик захворювань пародонта. Менш ясним є вплив захворювань пародонта на контроль глікемії та механізми, за допомогою яких це відбувається. Доказова медицина підкреслює важливість клінічно значущих профілактичних і терапевтичних заходів для лікування ЦД та захворювань пародонта. Залучення фахівців із догляду за ротовою порожниною до стратегій виявлення осіб із групи ризику ЦД розширить зусилля з профілактики та скринінгу, необхідні для уповільнення розвитку цих захворювань. У статті подано огляд літератури, що містить сучасні погляди на етіологію та патогенез запально-дистрофічних захворювань тканин пародонта та їхній зв’язок з ендокринною патологією, а саме з цукровим діабетом.
Акредитація медичних закладів України під час воєнного стану
Authors: Pozhevilova A. , Pozhevilova K.
Published: March 2024

Основними інструментами забезпечення якості медичних послуг є: акредитація медичних закладів, стандартизація медичних технологій та ліцензування професійної діяльності лікарів. Акредитація передбачає систематичну оцінку закладів охорони здоров’я за прийнятими стандартами. Щоб підвищити рівень акредитації в Україні, необхідно розуміти теоретико-методологічні характеристики та мати можливість оцінити ті фактори, які сприяють або обмежують розвиток і процеси впровадження програм акредитації. Оскільки Україна все ще перебуває на ранніх стадіях впровадження акредитації, вважаємо доцільним розглянути досвід інших країн світу, які успішно запровадили акредитацію закладів охорони здоров’я. Пошук було здійснено з використанням баз даних Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed і «Наукова періодика України», у каталозі та фондах Національної наукової бібліотеки України за ключовими словами. Після виключення дублікатів і нерелевантних досліджень було включено до остаточного огляду 56 джерел інформації.
