Çocukların Mescidlerden Uzak Tutulmasını Bildiren Rivayetin Tahrîc ve Tahlîli
Authors: ERMAN Uğur , AYDIN M. Sabih
Published: December 2022

İslâm dininde toplu ibadetin merkezi durumunda olan mescidler hicri ilk asırlarda ma’bed olma özelliklerinin yanında okul, hastane, imarethane, misafirhane, karargâh, mahkeme, toplantı salonu gibi çok amaçlı kullanılmış; birçok dini, siyasi ve toplumsal işlevi bünyesinde toplayan merkez konumunda olmuştur. Hz. Peygamber’in (s.a.v.) namazların topluca kılınmasının önemine ve faziletine dair teşvikleri Müslümanların camilerde beraber saf tutulmasını sağlamıştır. Mescid ve camilerde tutulan saflarda yetişkinlerle beraber çocuklar da yer almış ve verilen eğitim-öğretim faaliyetlerine de katılmışlardır. Camilerde Kur’an Öğretim Programları, Yaz Kur’an Kursları gibi belirli zaman periyotları içerisinde çocuklara yönelik Kur’an-ı Kerim ve temel dînî bilgiler kursları verilmektedir. Ancak, çocukların camilerde zaman zaman huzur ve sükûneti bozdukları, caminin demirbaş eşyalarına zarar vermeleri gibi gerekçelerle çocukların camilere gelmesi hoş karşılanmamaktadır. Bu zaviyeden hareketle hadis kaynakları tarandığında çocukların mescidlerden uzak tutulması ile bazı rivayetlere rastlanılmaktadır. Söz konusu rivayetlerde sadece çocukların değil aynı şekilde delilerin, alım-satım yapanların, yüksek ses tonuyla konuşanların, tartışanların, birbirine kılıç çekenlerin mescitlerden uzak tutulması istendiği gibi had cezalarının mescitte infaz edilmemesi de istenmektedir. Bu itibarla çalışmanın boyutu göz önünde bulundurularak sadece çocukların mescitlerden uzak tutulmasını içeren rivayetlerle sınırlandırılmıştır. Söz konusu rivayetlerin tahrîcleri yapılmış, rivayetler sened ve muhteva tenkidine tabi tutulmuştur. Bu metot çerçevesinde sened zincirinde varsa cerh edilen râvîler tespit edilmiş, söz konusu râvîlerin cerh-ta’dîl durumu ve bu durumun rivayetin sıhhatine etkisi ortaya konulmuştur. Rivayetler araştırılırken asli hadis kaynaklarına müracaat edilmiştir. Çalışmadaki nihai amaç bahse konu rivayetlerin hem sened hem muhteva açısından sıhhatini tespit etmektir. Çalışmanın sonunda rivayetlerin hem sened hem metin açısından zayıf kaldığı kanaatine varılmıştır.

MRI SAFETY AND MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CARDIOVASCULAR IMPLANTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES: LITERATURE REVIEW AND CASE PRESENTATION
Authors: GODEC Matic , IZLAKAR Jani , PODOBNIK Gašper
Published: December 2022

Introduction: MRI has long been contraindicated in patients with CIED devices due to the risk of adverse eff ects through electromagnetic interference. Recent developments in engineering have led to the introduction of MRI conditional CIED devices that do not cause signifi cant clinical harm to patients undergoing MRI, when specifi c imaging conditions are met. Safe access to MRI has become a crucial need for patients with CIED devices. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of how to manage patients with implanted CIED devices and to present a case report of a patient with CIED undergoing prostate MRI examination. Methods: This paper explores MRI Safety and the management of patients with implanted CIED devices through an extensive literature review and case presentation. The literature search was conducted using medical scientifi c electronic databases such as PubMed, Cinahl, Wiley Online Library and ScienceDirect. We examined a patient with a CIED device undergoing a prostate MRI examination. Results and discussion: We performed an examination of the described patient in accordance to the guidelines presented in this paper. The MR conditionality status was determined using the device identifi cation card and the manufacturer’s technical manual. The MRI examination of the patient was completed without complications; therefore, no adverse eff ects were reported. The MRI images were without artefacts. Conclusion: Recent clinical studies and published guidelines suggest that MRI of the patients with either an MRI conditional or MRI non-conditional CIED device is relatively safe under specifi c conditions. Multidisciplinary pre-procedure planning, a strict screening process, monitoring and device evaluation protocols are of key importance for ensuring safe MRI imaging in patients with CIED.

A PSICOLOGIA DA EDUCAÇÃO E A PREVENÇÃO/INTERVENÇÃO AO BULLYING NO AMBIENTE ESCOLAR: REVISÃO DA LITERATURA POR MEIO DE ETNOGRAFIA VIRTUAL
Authors: Marques Walter Rodrigues , Alves Luziane Bezerra Moreira
Published: December 2022

O bullying é um tipo de violência física, simbólica, social e psicológica caracterizado por agressões físicas, verbais e não-verbais, que atinge significativa parcela de alunos em idade escolar. Alliprandini e Sodré (2014) identificaram, em análise de 2000 a 2011 (Scielo e Capes), que a maioria da produção científica sobre bullying escolar se relaciona a diagnóstico/caracterização, ficando a prevenção/intervenção em segundo plano. Considerando o que apontou a pesquisa referida, objetivou-se identificar, nesta, se a prevenção/intervenção receberam atenção da comunidade científica e do Estado, a partir de revisão bibliográfica. Como metodologia, adotou-se a etnografia virtual que consistiu em criar um alerta no Google Acadêmico com termos específicos ao bullying e, realizou-se busca no Portal de Periódicos da Capes entre 2010 e 2021. Tendo em vista a conjuntura política, econômica, social e cultural do Brasil, em que a violência se dá nesses vários aspectos da vida do cidadão, principalmente, advinda do Estado, parte-se da hipótese de que isso interfere no comportamento dos alunos, como aumento da agressividade e a ocorrência de bullying, o que pode impactar, negativamente, no processo de ensino-aprendizado.  A relevância do estudo se dá na medida em que mostra a violência do Estado por ter negligenciado, por tanto tempo, as situações de bullying na escola. Os resultados encontrados evidenciaram que, dos 41 artigos analisados, 22 se voltaram para a prevenção/intervenção no ambiente escolar, como práticas extensionistas, entrevistas, questionários, ações em saúde, etnografia (observação participante), contra 19 que se detiveram na teoria sobre o bullying.

Authors: Riha Parvin S. M. , Panakaje Niyaz
Published: December 2022

Objective: Financial Prosperity of any households is the major aim of developing countries as it highly determines the economic status of a country. As a result, this research was performed to examine many elements influencing the Financial Prosperity (FWB) of households in the Dakshina Kannada region. Simultaneously, researchers aim to analyse Financial Prosperity enhancement through Financial participation (FI), financial literacy (FL) and Financial Management Behavior (FB).
Methodology: The set of questions in a well-thought-out form was utilized to gather data for this research. The data collection survey received 398 replies, which were then analysed using a range of statistical approaches to suit the study's objectives. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and few inferential analyses were used with SPSS 26 and SPSS AMOS 23. Secondary data was also investigated utilising a range of internet resources, such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, Tailor and Francis, Emerald Publications, Srinivas publications, and so on.
Findings: The findings revealed that age, educational qualifications, income level, and marital status all had a substantial impression on household financial literacy, inclusive finance, financial management behaviour, and Financial Prosperity. Financial literacy has a negligible impact to Financial Prosperity, but when it is mediated through financial participation and financial management behavior of households, it has a large contribution to Financial Prosperity. Furthermore, financial participation leads to financial prosperity in a substantial manner through the intercession of financial management behavior.
Originality/Value: As the study ensured great impact of financial literacy on financial prosperity through better financial behavior and financial participation, policy framework can be implemented by the policy makers and local regional authorities in promoting financial literacy and its significance in enhancing financial prosperity among the households of DK. Apart from that the study is restricted to small geographical location, hence generalizing the result to whole country may be trivial.

HORROR DO DESEMPREGO
Authors: De Freitas Vanessa Carla
Published: December 2022

Este é um estudo qualitativo descritivo, que investigou como o desemprego produz subjetividade, a partir das reflexões feitas por Forrester e Généreux em suas obras. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário aberto, divulgado por meio do método de bola de neve. O procedimento de análise dos dados foi a análise de conteúdo. Resultando na formulação de quatro categorias, a saber: estar desempregado é; visão social do desemprego; distorção da imagem de si; o bico foi a saída. O sentimento de vergonha, devido a perda da dignidade social, do poder de compra, etc., destacou-se na fala dos participantes. O desemprego é uma situação complexa, que não pode ser entendido somente por meio dos dados estatísticos, é preciso envolver o social, pensar de forma coletiva; apesar de ser retratado como um problema individual. O estudo mostrou que a qualificação não garante empregabilidade e que a indicação no Brasil ainda supera a qualificação. O horror do desemprego é o pouco engajamento na busca por soluções duráveis e favoráveis a todos por parte dos constituídos em autoridade. Para estudos futuros se sugere investigar a relação do desemprego com o aumento do número de pessoas vivendo em condições de miséria

Authors: De Oliveira Andre Junior , Freire Fatima de Sousa
Published: December 2022

As Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) Brasileiras são financiadas por recursos públicos e privados, contudo desde o ano de 2016 os valores repassados/arrecadados têm diminuído. Dessa forma, o objetivo do trabalho é identificar a forma que a crise causada pela pandemia tem impactado no orçamento da Educação Superior Brasileira. Para tanto foram analisados dados extraídos de sites de informação do governo federal referentes ao período de 2016 a 2020. Os resultados apontam que os valores repassados para o Ministério da Educação têm pequena representatividade no Orçamento Geral da União, se comparado a outras destinações tais como pagamento da dívida externa. Os valores destinados para a educação superior são mais significativos do que os destinados para outros seguimentos da educação.  Conclui-se que o orçamento repassado para as universidades federais é menor que os repasses destinados para as IES particulares por meio do FIES e ProUni. Constata-se ainda que a maior parte dos recursos destinados para a educação superior refere-se a pagamento de servidores.

Authors: A. Tantawy Sayed , Halwachi Batool Al , Ghanim Amina Al , Mansoori Ahmed Al , M. Kamel Dalia
Published: December 2022

Introduction

The study aim was to investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and to determine the relationship between work-related MSDs and body mass index (BMI) among employees of Ahlia University, Kingdom of Bahrain.

Methods

Overall, 200 subjects, both men and women, aged 22–56 years, were included in the study over a period of 1 year. Demographic data, such as age, nationality, gender, marital status, occupation, as well as height, weight, and BMI were collected. All participants filled in the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire.

Results

The study revealed that low back pain had the highest prevalence at both 12 months and 7 days (44.5% and 31.5%, respectively). It was followed by neck pain (40% and 23.5%, respectively) in the same time intervals. The work-related MSDs were correlated with all demographic characteristics, except the nationality. Despite that BMI presented a negative correlation with neck, wrist/hand, and knee symptoms, it showed a positive correlation with MSDs in other body parts, but all those correlations were insignificant.

Conclusions

Workplace influenced work-related MSDs development among Ahlia University employees. Low back pain and neck pain exhibited the highest prevalence among MSDs of particular body parts. Work-related MSDs were significantly correlated with occupation, number of years in the job, and age, while no significant correlation with BMI was observed.

Published: December 2022

Introduction

Ice hockey is one of the most popular sports that constitutes a physically demanding intermittent type of physical activity. It also requires an enormous amount of energy expended by the musculoskeletal system. The main objective of the study was to determine the dynamic stability of the lower limb in professional hockey players.

Methods

The Y-balance test was chosen to measure the dynamic stability of lower limb. In addition, an electronic questionnaire was applied to obtain data associated with the knee joint injuries.

Results

The mean value of the composite score for the right lower limb was 1.07 (± 0.10). The minimum value of the composite score for the right lower limb was 0.88, and the maximum value equalled 1.25. The mean value of the composite score for the left lower limb was 1.08 (± 0.11). The minimum value for the left lower limb was 0.90, and the maximum equalled 1.27.

Conclusions

Dynamic stability in the tested group of professional hockey players was shown to be adequate; however, further studies will be needed to determine the optimal values of the Y-balance test in the prevention of injuries in hockey players.

Authors: Bacca Odair , Camacho Maria Alejandra , Torres Ivonne Natalia , Sanchez-Martinez Yuri
Published: December 2022

The main question in the field of exercise and rehabilitation medicine is whether physical activity and therapeutic exercise are suitable activities for COVID-19 patients who are recovering at home. There have been few public health guidelines provided about what people can do in relationship with exercise and respiratory care. For this reason, it is necessary that physical therapists give some recommendations concerning safe respiratory and physical exercises that could be executed by people with confirmed, suspected, or probable COVID-19 who stay at home.
Efficacy of low-intensity laser therapy in trigeminal neuralgia: a systematic review
Authors: de la Barra Ortiz Hernán Andrés , Freire Gavilan Carola , Rojas María Aurelia
Published: December 2022

Introduction

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a highly prevalent cranial neuropathy, recognized as one of the main chronic orofacial neuropathic pain conditions. Low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) has been proposed as an analgesic alternative for treating neuropathic orofacial pain, although studies appear to be limited, without a consensus on dose. The study aim was to describe the efficacy of LILT in TN treatment.

Methods

Randomized clinical trials and controlled trials were identified in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect databases for May 8, 2021. Three independent researchers reviewed titles and abstracts to determine their eligibility. Risk of bias and quality were assessed with the RoB 2 tool (Cochrane) and PEDro scale. Decreased pain was considered the main outcome, and changes in the temporomandibular joint range of motion, strength, or disability were secondary outcomes.

Results

The search yielded 1078 articles after eliminating duplicates, reduced to 13 when applying the selection criteria. Nine articles were ascribed a low risk of bias or remained without consensus (69.23%), obtaining an average score of 6 (PEDro). Thirteen trials showed pain reduction at the end of treatment and in follow-up, although with statistical significance for 8 articles only (p < 0.005). A decrease in drug consumption and an increase in serotonin levels were observed in experimental groups, which supports the systemic analgesic effects of local and remote LILT.

Conclusions

LILT is effective in reducing pain in TN. However, more research is needed to establish a referential dose consensus for TN and other neuropathic pain conditions.

This study aimed to examine the effects of CSEs on lumbar lordotic angle (LLA), pain intensity, and functional disability in patients with LDD.

Methods

Overall, 97 adult patients of both genders with LDD were randomly assigned to the study or control group. The study group (n = 48) received CSEs in addition to traditional physical therapy; the control group (n = 49) received only traditional physical therapy, 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks. LLA, pain intensity, and functional disability were determined before and after the treatment program. LLA was measured with the Surgimap Spine software on marked lateral view X-ray films (OmniDiagnost Eleva); pain intensity was evaluated with visual analogue scale (VAS); functional disability was assessed with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).

Results

There was no significant pre-treatment difference between the groups in LLA (p = 0.84), VAS (p = 0.49), or ODI (p = 0.12). Significant post-treatment differences were observed in both groups in all variables (p = 0.001). However, there was a significant decrease in the mean post-treatment values of all variables (p = 0.001) in the study group compared with the control group.

Conclusions

CSEs could provide an additional effect of improving LLA, pain intensity, and functional abilities in patients with LDD.

Gooseberry (Ribes grossularia L.) is a promising berry crop. Fruits contain high doses of vitamins, as well as biologically active substances. The main gooseberry-growing countries are Germany and Poland; in Russia, this crop is still a plant of private sectors. The optimal time for gooseberry cuttings is the beginning or middle of summer. To extend the period for obtaining planting material, the method of propagation by lignified cuttings should not be excluded. The aim of the study is a comparative evaluation of new generation root formation stimulants on lignified gooseberry cuttings of the ‘Green rain’ variety. In the experiment, the effect of root formation stimulants Kornevin, Green Fuse root and Clonex on the rooting of gooseberries, which were propagated by lignified cuttings, was evaluated. The results showed that the rooting rate of cuttings was low and amounted to 56-63%. It turned out that root formation stimulants do not affect the rooting of cuttings, their total length of roots, the number of roots, the total length of shoots and their number. The results obtained indicate the absence of a positive effect of the new generation of root formation stimulants Clonex and Green Fuse for the rooting of the gooseberry ‘Green Rain’ compared to Kornevin.

Building Collapse from failure of structures has been a major concern for researchers today. This is traceable to several factors, one of which is the quality of the materials used during construction, as the quality of concrete is known to depend on the type of cement, water and aggregates used. Since coarse and fine aggregates occupy up to 70-75% of the concrete volume, it is necessary that the quality of aggregates be astutely ascertained. The objective of this research is to establish the best locations of fine aggregate in Kaduna state in order to facilitate its selection for construction purposes. A prescribed mix of 0.55/1:1.5:3 targeting a concrete of grade C20 was adopted for 100 x 100 x 100mm cubes. This research examined the engineering properties of fine aggregate which are used in concrete works in Kaduna. Fifteen sources from the three senatorial districts in Kaduna (Kaduna North, Kaduna South and Kaduna Central) were identified from which fine aggregate samples were collected and transported to the Nigerian Defence Academy, Afaka, for examination. The test results revealed that the specific gravity of the samples falls between 2.34 and 2.85 and fineness modulus between 2.36 and 3.3. The compressive strength after curing for 7 days varies between 18.5 N/mm2 and 26.4 N/mm2, and after 28 days curing varies between 23.3 N/mm2 and 30.1 N/mm2 all for same prescribed mix, cement grade and coarse aggregate type. Concrete produced with fine aggregate from Kaduna South L.G shows the highest strength after 28 days while the concrete from Kajuru L.G has the lowest compressive strength after 28 days.

Highway engineers and researchers are constantly trying to enhance the performance of asphalt concrete pavement, in order to keep up with the global adequate and sustainable highway infrastructure drive.   Modification of asphalt concrete could improve certain properties of the mixture and reduce cost of road construction materials. In this research, evaluation of Marshal Stability and flow of hybrid asphalt modified concrete was studied, the wastes from various industries such steel industry, plastic industry and coal-fired power plant industries were combined together to form hybrid composite. Steel slag, fly ash, waste plastic, aggregate and bitumen were used to produce the asphalt concrete in a hybrid manner to evaluate effect of stability and flow properties of asphalt concrete mixture. The physical properties of steel slag, fly ash aggregate, bitumen and waste plastic based polypropylene were determined by carrying out tests such as sieve analysis, moisture content, flakiness and elongation, aggregate impact, aggregate crushing, specific gravity, hygrometer, penetration, softening point, flash and fire point, viscosity, ductility and water-in-bitumen test. Bitumen with penetration grade 60/70 was used and the content varied from 5.0 to 7.0 % at 0.5% interval. A cylindrical sample with the composite mixture of asphalt concrete was produced using varying proportions of hybrid composite which comprises of steel slag (SS) and fly ash (FA) at 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% by weight of the asphalt concrete to partially replace the conventional materials (aggregate and filler) and bitumen which was partially replaced with polypropylene (PP) at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% respectively. The Marshal Stability test conducted on the hybrid composite asphaltic concrete gives optimum stability values of 10.50 kN, 12.50 kN, 12.30 kN and 13.50 kN and optimum flow values of 3.30 mm, 2.80 mm, 2.80 mm, and 2.70 mm at 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% respectively. Comparing with Asphalt Institute specification, the non-conventional material used as fillers, coarse and fine aggregate can be conveniently used in light, medium and heavy traffic.   Based on the findings, the application of these wastes material which constitute higher stability and flow will improve the properties of asphalt concrete, reduce the cost of constituent material and decrease environmental problem that arise from various industries.

The state of any road layer today and in the future is primarily dictated by the soil beneath its foundation, and knowing enough about the Engineering qualities of soil and the sub-soil condition is crucial in foundation design. This research looked at the geotechnical qualities of soils stabilized with Lime-and-Bamboo Stem Ash (BSA) mixture. Soil samples were obtained from each state in the study area and transported to the laboratory, where they were stabilized with 6% lime and 0 to 10% BSA. California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Compaction, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), and Triaxial tests were performed on the combined samples. The local additive was also subjected to a chemical examination. The results showed that BSA additive has a high SiO2 content. As BSA content increases, all strength properties (Maximum Dry Density (MDD), CBR, UCS, Cohesion (C), Shear strength (S) and Angle of Internal Friction (ϕ)) increase and reached peak at 6% BSA content, thereafter decrease; however, Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) decreases. The peak values are 2475 kg/m3, 58.53%, 45.32%, 638.9 kN/m2, 137 kN/m2, 290.57 kN/m2 and 41° for MDD, soaked CBR, unsoaked CBR, UCS, C, S and Ø respectively. After going through the process, almost all of the unsuitable soil samples became suitable for use as pavement layer materials. As a result, a mixture of 6% lime and 6% BSA content is strongly recommended for soil improvement, particularly for road construction in South-Western Nigeria.

Published: December 2022

The friction stir clinching (FSC) of C10100 and AA5456 alloys was investigated to improve the weld performance of the Al/Cu joint via the combined effect of protrusion-induced mechanical interlocking and metallurgical bonding. The microstructure, tensile, and fracture results of the friction stir clinched C10100/AA5456 joints were studied. The in-situ local temperature histories of the joints were recorded via the use of K-type thermocouples connected to a data logger. The peak temperatures of the joints at 900 rpm, 1120 rpm, and 1400 rpm are 332.4oC, 399.8oC, and 577.1oC respectively. The increase in the plunge depth (0.5 -1.5 mm) increases the amount of the extruded surface flash and the weld failure load of the joint while the increase in the tool rotational speed (900 - 1400 rpm) hampers the resultant failure load of the joint. The highest and the least failure loads of the joints are 2282 N and 1060 N respectively. The fracture modes of the joints include partially sheared protrusion, completely sheared protrusion, and undamaged protrusion/protrusion pullout. The completely sheared protrusion fracture mode produced the maximum failure load owing to the combined effect of protrusion-induced interlocking and metallurgical bonding. It is recommended to weld Al and Cu alloys at low tool rotational speed and high plunge depth for desirable metallurgical bond and Al/Cu interlock.

Published: December 2022

Selecting optimal design concept from several design alternatives is still a major challenge for engineers in the field of engineering design and it is important to select the optimal design in order to avoid delay and unnecessary cost during project execution. This article presents the selection of optimal design of press brake considering several design requirements and features. The adoption of the fuzzy TOPSIS methodology considered various design features that are categorized into several sub-features and weighted considering the functional requirements from the optimal design. The cumulative Triangular Fuzzy Number (TFN) of the design alternatives from the sub-features of all the design features are harnessed to develop a decision matrix from which the fuzzy positive and negative ideal solutions are obtained. The distances of the design alternatives to the fuzzy positive and negative ideal solutions are determined in order to obtain a closeness coefficient that is used to rank the design alternatives. The proximity in the final values of the closeness coefficients of the design alternatives demonstrates that the fuzzy TOPSIS approach apportioned ratings to the design alternatives based on availability of sub-features in the design concepts and the relevance of the design features to the functional requirement of the optimal design.
