Tokoh Sentral Dalam Kodifikasi Hadis
Authors: Junaid Junaid Bin
Published: November 2022

Hadith codification is an umbrella for understanding the beginning of the book of the Prophet's hadith. and this is of course urgent in it is to talk about history. Because it itself is departing from past, present and future events. History gives its own meaning in codifying the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad. because in this event it is not necessarily recorded in a book of hadith. But through a process that departs from the pre-codification of the hadith. One of the pre-codifications is how the hadith of the Prophet saw is recorded and written in the form of sahifah. In the codification of the hadith, there are three important main figures who can serve as aspirations in developing and maintaining the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad. ulumul hadith. Because with the codification of the hadith, the history of the prophet's hadith can be understood objectively. Therefore, understanding the hadith of the Prophet saw should not only look at it from one point of view. Because it will create a subjective understanding and will give rise to a conflict that will end with a hatred, so that fellow Muslims themselves have quarrels that can be prolonged. And this is the urgency of understanding the meaning of history

Published: November 2022

En este trabajo se analiza la problemática de las mujeres que padecen maltrato emocional o psicológico para evidenciar cómo la lectura les ayudó a inteligir su realidad y vivirla con mayor integridad. Se concibe el concepto anterior como una oportunidad para reconocer el poder interior (Petit, 1999 y 2001) que sirve de apoyo para el proceso liberador (Freire, 2006) de las mujeres y su contribución para el empoderamiento (Charlier y Caubergs, 2007; Rowlands, 1997), es decir, que se reconozca el potencial en cada una de ellas para resolver su cotidianidad. La investigación se hizo con mujeres que asistieron a un círculo de lectura; el enfoque interpretativo posibilitó la interacción con las lectoras, la observación de las prácticas de lectura y, a través de entrevistas, la interpretación de cada una de ellas. El trabajo de campo reveló que la lectura de diversos textos de literatura y de autoayuda, la realización de actividades para motivar su poder interior, y la habilidad de las lectoras para comprender textos y relacionarlos con sus problemáticas (maltrato emocional y psicológico, separación de la pareja, crianza de los hijos, entre otras), les proporciona estrategias para elevar su autoestima y desarrollar el poder interior para la toma de decisiones en el plano personal y social.
Future Outlook of Online Learning in Indian Education System
Authors: Dr. Amit S Nanwani
Published: November 2022

Covid-19 pandemic have impacted lives in several ways. To stop the virus from spreading, lockdowns were imposed in every nation around the world. Lockdowns thus interfered with daily living. The Covid-19 outbreak and subsequent lockdowns have had an impact on India’s educational sector. The four stages of continual countrywide lockdown led to closure of all the schools, colleges, tutorials, and other education institutions with immediate effect. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the traditional education system and it has been very alarming. Children were unable to finish their education since people were confined to their homes for months. They were delighted by what they thought would be a holiday, but it turned out to be a terrible disaster. They were deprived of their education, therefore the government had to find a replacement, which was online learning. As both students and educators may not be ready for this single accessible option, countries all over the world have no choice but to turn to go online. Online classrooms have replaced the traditional teaching methods within a very short span of time. There is no doubt that the education system has steadily grown in schools and colleges in the seven decades after independence, with much of the credit due to government policies and the constructive participation of the MHRD. Numerous initiatives have been taken by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD)for enhancing learning by various digital platforms. In the coming years, digital learning will play an important role in the Indian education system. The main aim of this paper is to assess the future prospects of online learning in Indian education. The entire research study and findings are based on the objectives.

Published: November 2022

High-risk patients with early symptomatic COVID-19 in an outpatient setting. Lopinavir/ritonavir and arbidol have been previously used to treat acute respiratory syndrome- coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in clinical practice; nevertheless, their effectiveness remains controversial. In this study, we evaluated the antiviral effects and safety of lopinavir/ritonavir and arbidol in patients with the 2019-nCoV disease (COVID-19). Fifty patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were divided into two groups: including lopinavir/ritonavir group (34 cases) and arbidol group (16 cases). Lopinavir/ritonavir group received 400 mg/100mg of Lopinavir/ritonavir, twice a day for a week, while the arbidol group was given 0.2 g arbidol, three times a day. Data from these patients were retrospectively analyzed. The cycle threshold values of open reading frame 1ab and nucleocapsid genes by RT-PCR assay were monitored during antiviral therapy. None of the patients developed severe pneumonia or ARDS. There was no difference in fever duration between the two groups (P=0.61). On day 14 after the admission, no viral load was detected in arbidol group, but the viral load was found in 15(44.1%) patients treated with lopinavir/ritonavir. Patients in the arbidol group had a shorter duration of positive RNA test compared to those in the lopinavir/ritonavir group (P<0.01). Moreover, no apparent side effects were found in both groups. In conclusion, our data indicate that arbidol monotherapy may be superior to lopinavir/ritonavir in treating COVID-19.
Experimentation and Innovation in Vermeer’s Girl with the Red Hat: New Findings from the National Gallery of Art
Authors: Libby Alexandra , Gifford Melanie , Anchin Dina , Wieseman Marjorie , Dooley Kathryn , Delaney John
Published: November 2022

Considered within the context of his biography, his overall artistic production, and the seventeenth-century Dutch market for tronies, a recent multidisciplinary investigation of Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with the Red Hat (National Gallery of Art, Washington) suggests that this small painting represents a pivotal moment in the artist’s career. Vermeer experimented here with bolder, more abstract brushwork and more highly contrasting pigments—an approach that grew out of his handling of the preparatory stages of the painting process and that he ultimately adopted in his high-life genre works as well. Positing the painting as an experimental foray that presaged Vermeer’s subsequent development also indicates a likely date of about 1669.
A palavra e a imagem: usos da emblemática na Assistência portuguesa da Companhia de Jesus
Authors: Santos Luísa Ximenes
Published: November 2022

Em A palavra e a imagem, Luísa Ximenes analisa o uso da emblemática pelos jesuítas da Assistência portuguesa da Companhia de Jesus. Constituindo a emblemática um tipo de linguagem, uma forma de discurso, a autora toma como ponto de partida a reflexão sobre o ensino da retórica clássica nas instituições educacionais administradas pela Companhia, cujo programa era herdeiro dos modelos humanísticos. Fundada num momento em que a Igreja Católica rediscutia o papel da imagem na difusão da fé, a ordem jesuítica demonstrou grande preocupação não só com o discurso proferido e escrito, mas também com aquele expresso através de imagens. Na presente obra há a reflexão sobre o papel da Companhia na difusão, na circulação e na produção da emblemática a partir de uma abordagem em que os emblemas são considerados mais do que simplesmente uma forma de comunicar a mensagem cristã. Além de um instrumento didático, essa linguagem simbólica que coaduna texto e imagem foi uma das formas possíveis do discurso moralizante e político. Os testemunhos cuja análise a autora nos convida a acompanhar dizem respeito ao uso da emblemática pelos jesuítas em impressos, cerimônias e edificações, tanto em Portugal quanto nos domínios ultramarinos lusitanos.
Fora do(s) eixo(s): confrontos e descentramentos artísticos, literários, intelectuais
Authors: Soares Paulo Marcondes Ferreira
Published: November 2022

Reunindo textos de autores de formação diversa (história, sociologia, literatura), que constroem suas reflexões a partir de temáticas e obras igualmente variadas, este livro resulta, entretanto, de um fundo de preocupação comum. No seu conjunto, e cada um à sua maneira, os capítulos procuram responder a umas tantas questões iniciais – quem define, como se definem, e a partir de que parâmetros, os princípios classificadores dos fatos culturais? –, que, forçosamente, se desdobram em outras tantas: quais as implicações de não se estar em conformidade com tais ou quais princípios de ordenação, que são sempre uma ordem de hierarquização? Como falar dessas outras coisas, desses outros lugares, sem desconhecer a força das hierarquias vigentes, nem a elas se subordinar? O esforço é o de pensar a multiplicidade das dinâmicas culturais no Brasil – principalmente, mas não só – em seus próprios termos, segundo os princípios de inteligibilidade vigentes e, caso a caso, em suas específicas condições e dinâmicas, com atenção às lógicas sociais mais amplas com que dialogam, e com a certeza de que os desvios em relação aos padrões dominantes, antes de serem vistos como erro ou insuficiência, devem ser considerados um fazer diferente. A antropofagia, a arte moderna no Recife da década de 1950, a variedade de nomes como os de Maria Carmen, Ulysses Lins de Albuquerque, Reinaldo Arenas e Aluísio Azevedo, entre outros temas, são aqui revisitados, sob a convicção de que, apenas ao se ampliarem os repertórios de fazeres e pensares, estaremos caminhando em direção a uma apreensão mais acurada do que seja essa nebulosa chamada cultura brasileira – ou latino-americana, ou qualquer outra que se dá “fora dos eixos”.

Solidaridad y mercado
Authors: Sebastián Luis de
Published: November 2022

El mercado es por naturaleza insolidario, pues sus virtudes se basan en los comportamientos individuales, motivados por el lucro individual. Esta es la tesis central de este artículo. Se trata de un análisis de la ideología económica dominante desde la perspectiva de la solidaridad y de los comportamientos solidarios en la vida económica. El autor demuestra los pies de barro de este ídolo occidental y, por lo tanto, señala la necesidad de ponerle algunos apoyos para que no se caiga y comprometa en su caída el bienestar de los más débiles y menos protegidos.

crisis del proceso de pacificación
Authors: Cardenal Rodolfo
Published: November 2022

Análisis de las crisis que caracterizaron el proceso de pacificación, pues ellas ponen al descubierto cuáles han sido sus puntos críticos y, por lo tanto, en los que hay que insistir para que la transición alcance los objetivos planteados en el Acuerdo de paz. Las resistencias más fuertes surgieron en la Fuerza Armada, en la transferencia y legalización de las tierras y en el ámbito de los derechos humanos. Las crisis se presentaron en el momento en que el proceso tocó algunas de las estructuras fundamentales del poder tradicional, las cuales, obviamente, ofrecieron resistencia a la transformación. Algunas de ellas incluso se han resistido hasta el último momento. Pese a todo, el proceso de transición hacia la desmilitarización y la democratización ha avanzado en la dirección correcta.

crítica cristiana a la civilización del capital
Authors: Díaz-Salazar Rafael
Published: November 2022

Dentro de las críticas cristianas al capitalismo, el autor se concentra en la crítica cristiana a la civilización del capital, a partir de la última encíclica social de Juan Pablo 11, la Centesimus Annus. La relevancia de la crítica cristiana a la civilización del capital estriba en que la Iglesia es el contrincante principal del sistema que rige al mundo en la actualidad. La Iglesia critica el orden socio-económico y cultural existente en la medida en que deshumaniza y empobrece e indica una serie de exigencias y demandas para construir un nuevo modelo de economía, de convivencia y de realización humana.

Published: November 2022

Rattan is generally better known as a material for woven crafts for various products such as baskets, mats, lampits, bags, furniture, bridges, bats, ropes, takraw balls, children's toys, and so on. Rattan is an industrial raw material that is classified as environmentally friendly so that the products of the processed rattan industry, directly, are also environmentally friendly products. The policy of banning the export of raw rattan (raw materials) encourages investment in the rattan processing industry. Especially those that produce furniture products and other rattan-based handicrafts. However, from various rattan discussion forums, it has been revealed that there are many things that have not been accommodated by government policies, because they have not touched the problems that exist in the field, both regarding the issue of resources, rattan farmers/collectors, traders, processors, and the rattan trade system itself. To take advantage of this comparative advantage, it is necessary to conduct research on the analysis of the factors that affect the rattan investment in East Luwu district, South Sulawesi.

The Effects of Task-based Vocabulary Instruction: A Case Study at a Center for Vocational Training and Continuing Education
Authors: Dinh Nhung Thi Tuyet , Hoang Giang Thi Linh
Published: November 2022

The effects of task-based language teaching (TBLT) on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ vocabulary learning have been well-recognized. However, few studies on the topic have been conducted in the Vietnamese context, and there is a scarcity of research that examines how learner proficiency levels impact the effectiveness of using such a teaching approach. The current study addresses these gaps by using a quasi-experiment on a sample of 70 EFL learners at a center for vocational training and continuing education in Vietnam to investigate changes in learners’lexical knowledge following TBLT vocabulary lessons and their perceptions of TBLT instruction. Quantitative data came from learners’ scores on the vocabulary pre and posttests, while qualitative data were semi-structured interviews among a subsample of 12 students. Main findings include learners’ improved performance on the vocabulary posttest and their overall positive feelings about the implementation of TBLT instruction for vocabulary lessons. However, low-achieving learners expressed reservations about the effectiveness of TBLT on their vocabulary acquisition due to time constraints and lack of confidence when doing tasks in vocabulary lessons. Pedagogical implications are accordingly presented at the end of the paper.

A inseminação artificial (IA) se tornou uma das principais biotecnologias reprodutivas de impacto econômico na produção de bovinos possibilitando o melhoramento genético do plantel, otimizando o manejo reprodutivo, podendo maximizar os lucros. O objetivo do trabalho realizado é levantar custos de uma IATF e custos de touros em uma propriedade em estação reprodutiva e comparar a rentabilidade financeira, visando o bezerro produzido e o valor agregado e seu peso na desmama. A metodologia utilizada é a pesquisa de campo realizada com informações de uma propriedade de pecuária de corte, localizada na zona rural do município de São Felipe do Oeste interior do estado de Rondônia que utiliza três manejos reprodutivos, seguido de pesquisa bibliográfica confrontando os dados observados com estudos anteriores. Como resultados o estudo verificou que apesar da necessidade de um investimento inicial maior na produção de bezerros com a técnica da IATF se comparada aos investimentos realizados para a estação feita somente com touro, o lucro do pecuarista que produz o bezerro está na venda da desmama ou na engorda é maior, superando os investimentos iniciais. Desse modo, o estudo concluir que a IATF gera maior rentabilidade, cuja diferença de lucro registrada foi de R$34.800,00 em uma média de 100 bezerros produzidos.

Abstract. The IPCC AR6 report outlines a general consensus that anthropogenic climate change is modifying the frequency and intensity of extreme events such as cold spells, heat waves, storms or floods. A pertinent question is then whether climate change may have affected the characteristics of a specific extreme event or whether such event would have even been possible in the absence of climate change. Here, we address this question by performing an attribution of some major extreme events that occurred in 2021 over Europe and North America: the Winter Storm Filomena, the French spring cold spell, the Westphalia floods, the Mediterranean summer heat wave, Hurricane Ida, the Po Valley tornado outbreak, Medicane Apollo and the late-autumn Scandinavian cold spell. We focus on the role of the atmospheric circulation associated with the events and its typicality in present (factual world) and past climate conditions (counterfactual world) – defined using the ERA5 dataset 1950 to present. We first identify the most similar sea-level pressure patterns to the extreme events of interest in the factual and counterfactual worlds – so-called analogues. We then compute significant shifts in the spatial characteristics, persistence, predictability, seasonality and other characteristics of these analogues. We also diagnose whether in the present climate the analogues of the studied events lead to warmer/cooler or dryer/wetter conditions than in the past. Finally we verify whether the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation may explain interdecadal changes in the analogues' characteristics. We find that most of the extreme events we investigate are significantly modified in the present climate with respect to the past, because of changes in the location, persistence and/or seasonality of cyclonic/anticyclonic patterns in the sea-level pressure analogues. One of the events, Medicane Apollo, appears to be a black swan of the atmospheric circulation, with poor-quality analogues. Our approach, complementary to the statistical extreme-event attribution methods in the literature, points to the potentially important role of the atmospheric circulation in attribution studies.

Published: November 2022

The shift from the traditional self-contained classroom to the departmentalized classroom structure in upper-elementary classrooms is increasing as the pressure to maximize student outcomes is higher than ever for public schools. Teachers prefer departmentalization but findings as to its benefits for students are mixed. This study considers the relationship between classroom structure and student achievement and whether the relationship varies by student socio-economic status. Using fourth grade data from one school district in Florida, we use Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and logistic regression to examine the relationship between departmentalization and three measures of student achievement based on the Florida Standards Assessment. The findings indicate a negative relationship between all three measures of student achievement and classroom structure with some variation by student socio-economic status.

Introduction: India is committed to to prevent pneumonia related deaths in children which is leading cause of vaccine preventable deaths among children under five globally and in India. Objective : To know awareness about pneumococcal (PC) vaccine among medical and nursing students of civil hospital, Ahmedabad. Method: This cross sectional study was conducted on medical and nursing students of civil hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Baseline knowledge of PC Vaccine, side effects of PC vaccine, was assessed by a self-administered structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis - Data analysis was done in Microsoft excel and chi square test was applied. Results: There were 444 respondents and among them 240 (54%) were medical students and 204 (46%) were nursing students, with male female ratio was 95:127. Awareness regarding PC vaccine integration to national immunization schedule found significantly more in nursing students as compare to medical students, (Chi-square = 63.4 at p < 0.05). Medical students had more knowledge about PC vaccine as compared to nursing students. Conclusion:There is still gap in awareness of PC vaccine integration to national immunization schedule among medical students. Field visits among nursing students have positive effects on awareness of nursing students. Medical students should visit to this type of field activities to improve their knowledge about ongoing activities like this.

Introduction : Rabies is a fatal but vaccine-preventable viral disease. Animal bite victims who report in primary and secondary level health care lack some measures which can help in protecting and preventing deaths due to rabies. The most important factor for prevention of death due to rabies is the timely administration of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) among animal bite victims. Therefore, in addition to an understanding of the epidemiological distribution of animal bites, it is necessary to explore the factors leading to delay in PEP initiation. Objective: To determine the determinants of delay in initiation of post exposure prophylaxis for rabies prevention among animal bite cases attending anti-rabies clinic of a ruraltertiary care hospital in Sonepat, Haryana. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at an Immunization-cum-antirabies clinic of Bhagat Phool Singh Government Medical Collegefor Women, Khanpur Kalan, Sonepat, Haryana. A pre tested, structured questionnaire was used to collect information among 410 participants after taking consent. The Institutional Ethics Committee of institute approved the study. The groups were compared with Chi-square test for categorical data. Results: Delay was present among 27.3% of participants. Significant factors of delay were no local wound treatment, any treatment taken prior to anti-rabies vaccine administration, rabies clinic closed on holidays, unawareness about PEP, non-availability of accompaniment, transportation issues and money problem for transportation. Knowledge also played significant role as delay was significantly more among the participants not having knowledge regarding source of infection, mode of transmission and incubation period of rabies. Conclusions: Delay ininitiation of PEP was common and were significantly associated with lack of knowledge and unawareness, closure of rabies clinic on Sundays/holidays, non-availability of accompaniment and money problem during transportation.

Introduction : Diabetic foot has got a high prevalence of 52% among diabetics. The duration of hospital stay and physical disability are likely to cause depression and affects overall quality of life. So it is important for general population, to know about Self Care activities which include foot care practice to avert long term complications and improve quality of life which is likely to be effective in reducing the burden of diabetic foot ulcer. Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice about foot care among Type 2 DM patients in a Tertiary health care center, Tamil Nadu. Method: A cross-sectional study was done during August and September 2021 among diabetic patients after obtaining consent at a Tertiary Hospital in southern district of Tamil Nadu. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 47.56 ± 9.718 years with 55.9% being male and 44.1% female and the majority (65.6%)of subjects was residing in rural areas. Among the participants, 103 (92.8%) were found to have good attitude towards self-care activities whereas69 (62.2%) respondents practiced proper footcare. Age, gender and education were found to have significant association with the practice of proper foot care. Female gender was found to be an independent predictor for practice of adequate foot care. Conclusion: Regardless of good attitude towards diabetic foot care there is considerable resistance in practising it.

Introduction : Nutritional anemia is a major public health issue that affects women of all ages, notably those of reproductive age (15-49 years). Anemia has an adverse effect on the outcome of pregnancy including miscarriage, intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, post-partum hemorrhages and stillbirth. Objectives:It is to estimate prevalence of anemia and to investigate socio-demographic and obstetric factors associated with the prevalence of anemia during preconception period. Method: We conducted a crosssectional study among 306 reproductive age group (15-49 years) women who were residing in field practice area of Urban Health Training Center (UHTC) in sector-24, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India who are planning to conceive within a year. Study participants were selected from the records of the female health worker according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study. Results: Out of 306 participant women, 76% were found to be anemic, out of which, 31% had mild, 55% had moderate and 14% had severe level of anemia. Education level significantly associated (P < 0.05) with presence of anemia as women with lower level of education had higher presence of anemia – 81.97% in primary education group and 79.17% among illiterate women. BMI, parity and family type was also found to be significantly (P < 0.05) associated with the severity of anemia. Conclusion: Nearly three fourth Women who planned to conceive within a year had anemia. Out of women who had anemia, nearly three fourth had moderate to severe anemia. Education had significant association with presence of anemia and low BMI, Parity and type of family had significant association with severity of anemia.
