Takotsubo Syndrome Following Status Epilepticus in a Heart Transplant Recipient: A Case Report
Authors: Shikama Takeshi , Shikama Mio , Hayase Naoki , Doi Kent
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) expresses transient wall motion abnormality of the left ventricle, reportedly induced by sympathetic overstimulation. Takotsubo syndrome is unlikely to be included in the differential diagnosis of heart transplant patients with sudden cardiac dysfunction given the complete denervation occurring during the transplantation. Case Report: In this case report we describe the case of a female heart transplant recipient who showed apical ballooning on an echocardiogram following status epilepticus. Detailed clinical examinations and her clinical course confirmed the diagnosis of TTS. An iodine-123 meta iodobenzylguanidine myocardial scintigraphy revealed partial cardiac sympathetic reinnervation in the transplanted heart. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that TTS can manifest itself even in a transplanted heart with partial sympathetic reinnervation.

Authors: Dorostghoal Mehran , Izadi Fahimeh , Gholami Mojdeh , Zahraei Saleh
Published: January 2025

Background: Recent evidence suggests a decline in sperm quality due to exposure to environmental toxicants. Several studies have reported the adverse effects of heavy metals on human reproductive efficiency. Objectives: This study analyzed the seminal levels of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, and arsenic) and oxidative status, evaluating their relationships with sperm parameters in men from Ahvaz, southwest Iran. Methods: Semen quality, seminal lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzyme activity were assessed in 100 men attending the Narges Medical Genetics and Prenatal Diagnosis Laboratory in Ahvaz, southwest Iran. Sperm concentration, motility, and normal morphology were analyzed following the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO, 2010). Seminal levels of lead, cadmium, and arsenic were determined using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results: Higher seminal levels of lead and cadmium were observed in asthenozoospermic men compared with normozoospermic individuals. Seminal levels of lead, cadmium, and arsenic exhibited significant negative correlations with sperm concentration, total motility, and normal morphology. Additionally, higher concentrations of seminal lead and cadmium were associated with increased seminal levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreased activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Conclusions: The findings suggest an association between sperm quality and seminal oxidative status with seminal levels of lead and cadmium in men from Ahvaz, southwest Iran.
Facial Soft Tissue Damage Resulting from Opium Insertion into Lacerations: A Case Report
Authors: Shahraki Mehrdad , Khazaei Amir Hossein , Amirpour Haradasht Sadra
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Facial lacerations require careful management to prevent complications. Historically, opium, known for its pain-relieving properties, was sometimes used in wound care. However, inserting opium into lacerations can lead to serious issues such as delayed healing and an increased risk of infection due to its chemical irritation and inflammatory effects. Modern medical knowledge and ethical standards reject this practice in favor of safer, evidence-based treatments. This case report highlights the adverse effects of using opium in wound care and emphasizes the importance of adhering to contemporary medical practices to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Case Presentation: A 63-year-old man with no major systemic diseases sought maxillofacial surgery one month after falling and sustaining a 1 cm laceration to his mandible. Initially, he self-treated with opium to alleviate pain and prevent infection, but his symptoms worsened, including increased pain, swelling, and signs of infection, prompting him to seek professional care. Examinations revealed localized swelling, inflammation, and purulent discharge. The diagnosis was soft tissue damage complicated by opium use, leading to infection and delayed healing. Conclusions: This case highlights the risks of using non-medical substances, such as opium, in wound care. As opium is non-sterile, its use contributed to infection and delayed healing, exacerbating inflammation and bacterial growth. The case underscores the importance of timely medical intervention and proper patient education on wound care. It advocates against self-medication and supports evidence-based treatment practices. Future research should examine the impact of such treatments on wound healing to improve clinical practice.

Background: Assessing patient satisfaction is crucial for identifying areas for improvement in medical services and evaluating service quality. Objectives: This study aims to determine the patients' satisfaction with the services provided at Motazedi Hospital in Kermanshah Methods: This descriptive-analytical research was conducted among 320 patients who referred to Motazedi Hospital in Kermanshah during 2024. Simple random sampling of patients was done. The measurement tool was a written questionnaire. Data were collected by interviewing patients. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 16 using Crude and adjusted linear regression statistical tests at 95% significant level. Results: Of the patients surveyed, 19.3% were dissatisfied, 35.7% were moderately satisfied, and 45% were completely satisfied with the services they received. Generally, patients with higher education levels (beta = 0.189 and P = 0.007) and health insurance (beta = 0.204 and P = 0.008) reported higher levels of satisfaction with the services they received. In the areas of clinical services, facilities and physical environment and nutrition, respectively, the items of "respecting the patient's privacy during examination and performing treatment procedures", "toilet and bathroom condition" and "food quality" obtained the lowest average satisfaction score. Conclusions: Less than half of the patients were fully satisfied with the services received in the hospital. The satisfaction levels were lowest for the condition of toilets and bathrooms, food quality, and the respect for patient privacy during examinations and treatments. Patients were generally more content with clinical services compared to other aspects.
Social kompetens i arbetslivet: innebörder och aktualitet
Authors: Kazemi Ali
Published: January 2025

I ett samhälle som vårt där lönearbete tillmäts stor betydelse är det intressant att analysera vad arbetsgivare värderar vid anställning av personal. Frånsett arbetsrelaterade kvalifikationer, bedöms även den personlig lämpligheten som i denna artikel diskuteras utifrån begreppet social kompetens. Denna artikel har två syften. Den syftar till att belysa den sociala kompetensens betydelse i relation till professioner och teknikutvecklingen samt diskutera tänkbara förklaringar till varför den sociala kompetensen ökat i betydelse i dagens arbetsliv. Mot bakgrund av denna ökade betydelse syftar även artikeln till att ta upp tre olika perspektiv på hur social kompetens kan förstås, det deskriptiva perspektivet som utgår från vad arbetsgivare efterfrågar i platsannonser kopplat till vad som benämns social kompetens, det psykologiska perspektivet som i huvudsak betraktar social kompetens som en uppsättning personliga egenskaper som psykometriskt kan kartläggas och det sociologiska perspektivet som betraktar social kompetens som ett i huvudsak relationellt fenomen och söker förstå det i huvudsak i termer av diskurs och makt.

Spies and Secret Agents in Romanian Films of the Early Cold War
Authors: Epure Adrian ,   Zeta Books
Published: January 2025

A focus on the ideological use of popular culture has been one of the major innovations in the study of the Cold War over the past years. Films played a central role in the popular culture of that period and the spy genre was a very important direction in the battle for winning domestic and global hearts and minds for both the United States and the Soviet Union. Cinematography had a critical importance because it met the demands of both entertainment and ideological functions. Utilising extensive archival research in film production files, this article attempts to fill a gap in the literature by providing an overview of how the tensions between East and West were exploited into the Romanian films of the first two decades of the Cold War. Focusing on the cultural and political context in which films such as Viața învinge (Life Triumphs—Dinu Negreanu, 1951), Alarmă în munți (Alarm in the Mountains—Dinu Negreanu, 1955), Vultur 101 (Eagle 101—Andrei Călărașu, 1957), Secretul cifrului (The Secret Code—Lucian Bratu, 1960) and Pisica de mare (Stingray—Gheorghe Turcu, 1964) were produced, while analysing the evolution of the image of spies and secret agents in these cinematic productions, this paper reveals how the spy film genre emerged in communist Romania during the period when Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej was in power, and how it contributed to the creation of images that marked the collective mind of the period for decades.
The Use of Cultural Heritage in Romanian Socialist Cinema
Authors: Bran Delia ,   Zeta Books
Published: January 2025

The Romanian communist cinematography has been analysed from the point of view of its value to the regime’s ideology or propaganda. The aim of this article is to examine Romanian cinema for its use of cultural heritage from the perspective of an art historian and museum curator. Using the current taxonomy of cultural heritage in Romania: movable cultural heritage—meaning paintings, drawings, decorative art—and immovable cultural heritage—build­ings, houses, inns, cultural monuments, the article follows these categories in the filmmaking industry. They were both used in Romanian cinematography with the approval of the State and Party authorities. The main objective of this article is to „cut” the frames of selected films and see how and which cultural heritage objects were used in cinematography.

Rhetorical Operatives in Chiara Lubich's Christian Testimony to a Buddhist Faith Community
Authors: Cali Dennis D. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Chiara Lubich's speech in 1981 to 10,000 members of the Rissho Koseikai, a lay Buddhist community, was avowedly Christian in its profession of faith. Interestingly, Lubich seems to have struck common chords in her address with her Japanese audience. Kenneth Burke's narrative resources, as they are shown to operate typically in Lubich's public discourses, help identify and explain the unusual appeal of Lubich's account of her Christian experiences to the Buddhist Rissho Kosei-kai.
Building and Maintaining Church Identity: Rhetorical Strategies Found in Letters from Two Lutheran Leaders
Authors: Adler Barbara J. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the rhetorical identification strategies found in the official letters of two Lutheran church leaders which appear in the monthly periodicals of each organization. In spite of their importance to church communications there has been little scholarly investigation of denominational periodicals. Twenty-four letters by H. Chilstrom, the Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, published in the 1988 and 1989 volumes of The Lutheran, were compared to twenty-four letters, published in the same years, by R. Bohlmann, the President of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, which appear in The Lutheran Witness. A content analysis of the letters from each leader was conducted. Cheney's (1983) typology of rhetorical identification strategies was applied in order to categorize each leader's verbal expressions. Chi-square analysis revealed significant differences in the total amount of identification strategies and in two specific categories employed by each organizational administrator.
Scientific Rhetoric as Religious Advocacy: Origins in the Public Schools
Authors: Lessl Thomas M. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Richard John Neuhaus contends that the exclusion of religious voices from the public sphere creates a vacuum into which alternative religious ideas are drawn. This essay interprets some features of the discourse of science education in light of this claim. It argues that religious ideas are likely to appear in the discourses of scientific education as the unspoken premises characteristic of enthymeme. The notion that scientific speech can simply avoid making religious claims assumes that an artificial separation between formal and informal modes of reasoning is a normal feature of science education. Keywords: informal logic, Richard John Neuhaus, Enlightenment, scientific education, origins, enthymeme.
“After Ten Years”: Dietrich Bonhoeffer s Epideictic Exhortation to Responsible Action
Authors: Sullivan Dale L. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Dietrich Bonhoeffer's After Ten Years” is a profoundly moving example of rhetoric and is rooted in the extraordinary circumstances of a conspiratorial group plotting the assassination of Adolf Hitler To fully understand and appreciate this short document, the reader needs to understand the historical circumstances because the text draws on common and unspoken knowledge heavily in order to protect the conspirators in case it fell into the hands of the Gestapo. It is also important to understand Bonhoeffers views on church- state relationships and on the ethics of responsible action. Once the reader has suitable background knowledge of this kind, one can read After Ten Years” as a mixed genre, consisting of epideictic and exhortative elements, that gives voice to the conspiratorial group's solidarity and legitimizes their planned action with a divine word. Keywords: Epideictic, Exhortation, Ethics, Bonhoeffer.

Although some believe their work is largely a reiteration of Aristotle's rhetoric and that Perelman owes a significant debt to Aristotle, Ipresent evidence in this paper that Perelman was quite critical of the Western tradition of philosophy and of Aristotle's logic and rhetoric, Perelman turned to Jewish thinking and Talmudic argumentation as a countermodel, Jewish metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, and argument are the central touchstones of the NRP.
Prophecy and Providence: The Anxiety over Prophetic Authority
Authors: Zulick Margaret D. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

This essay concerns the rhetorical functions of authorization and justification, understood as coordinate aspects of legitimation in prophecy as a rhetorical genre. Precisely because prophecy always invokes ultimate terms, the legitimation process always engenders a fundamental anxiety over authority as prophetic texts encounter conflicts between divergent utterances or between utterance and historical events. This essay examines two examples of prophetic utterance, one drawn from 1 Kings 22 and one from the 17th century Journal of George Fox.

Published: January 2025

Evaluating communication in da’wah is a crucial step in achieving the desired or predetermined goals of da’wah. The focus and objective of this study are to understand and discuss the urgency of evaluation in da’wah communication according to Ibn Kathir’s interpretation of Quranic Al-Hasyr verses 18-19. The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive study with a library research approach. Data were collected using the Publish or Perish application with keywords “Urgency of Da’wah Evaluation” and “Dawah Evaluation” each with 10 scientific articles published in 2023 from Google Scholar, as well as additional data from books, scientific journals, documentation, and other relevant data. According to Ibn Kathir’s interpretation of Quranic Al-Hasyr verses 18-19, the study’s findings provide an understanding and meaning as an encouragement to evaluate all actions that have been performed. In the context of da’wah communication, preachers (da’i) are encouraged to evaluate all da’wah communication processes. Thus, da’i can perform improvements, evaluations, and enhancements in the Dawah communication process. The urgency of evaluation in da’wah communication includes several aspects, such as evaluating specific and organized da’wah goals, evaluating the suitability of da’wah messages with the needs of the audience, evaluating the quality of da’wah messages, evaluating the audience’s response or feedback, evaluating the audience’s involvement in the da’wah process, and evaluating the media used for da’wah communication.
Fenomena Fonologis Qiraat al-Yazidi dan implikasinya dalam Penafsiran
Authors: Wafiudin M. Afif , Fadhil Achmad Agus Bahari
Published: January 2025

The method or way of reading the Qur'an literally is very varied, so that is why a discipline of qiraat was born to systematise it. This difference in reading method often leads to differences in the interpretation of the verse. Al-Yazidi, as one of the muqri‘, has three major discussions namely phonological, lexical, and grammatical aspects in the recitation he narrated. This research will focus on the character of Al-Yazidis reading, its implications for interpretation, and where he took the route of narrating his reading. This research is a library research and uses descriptive-analytical method. This study argues that the differences in interpretation that arise in Al-Yazīdī’s qiraat come from differences in word origin and differences in sound. Differences in word origin that result in differences in sound essentially have an influence on interpretation, while differences in sound do not all have implications for determining meaning. This research also found a unique fact that Al-Yazīdī once narrated a reading not from a muqri‘ as muqri‘ in general. But this, after being investigated, did not cause problems and undermine Al-Yazīdī's credibility as a reader of the Qur'an.
Pernikahan Sakinah: Tafsir Hermeneutika Teologis Atas Konsep Ketenangan Dan Kasih Dalam Al-Quran
Authors: Eva Rosyidana Alfa Sanah
Published: January 2025

Pernikahan dalam perspektif Islam memiliki makna mendalam, tidak hanya sebagai kontrak sosial tetapi juga sebagai ibadah untuk mencapai ketenangan hidup dan kebahagiaan batin. Al-Qur'an menekankan pentingnya ketenangan (sakinah), kasih sayang (mawaddah), dan rahmat sebagai elemen dasar dalam membangun kehidupan rumah tangga ideal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsep pernikahan sakinah berdasarkan ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an melalui pendekatan tafsir hermeneutika teologis. Metode hermeneutika digunakan untuk menafsirkan makna teologis dari konsep ketenangan dan kasih dalam konteks pernikahan. Dengan mengkaji beberapa ayat, terutama surat Ar-Rum ayat 21, penelitian ini mengungkap bagaimana Al-Qur'an memberikan landasan bagi hubungan harmonis antara suami dan istri, yang didasari oleh ketenangan, cinta, dan rahmat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pernikahan sakinah merupakan kondisi ideal yang menuntut keseimbangan spiritual dan emosional antara pasangan, serta kesadaran akan peran penting kasih sayang dalam memperkuat ikatan rumah tangga. Tafsir hermeneutika membantu memahami bagaimana nilai-nilai Al-Qur'an tentang ketenangan dan kasih dapat diterapkan dalam pernikahan modern, yang sering dihadapkan pada berbagai tantangan kehidupan. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam memperkaya diskursus tentang pernikahan dalam Islam, dengan menawarkan pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang bagaimana Al-Qur'an menuntun umat Muslim mencapai pernikahan yang harmonis, penuh cinta, dan rahmat.
Khazanah Penafsiran Fiqih Hanafi
Authors: Rifhan Muhamad Rifhan Hais , M. Afif Wafiudin
Published: January 2025

Al-Jassas is one of the prominent scholars of Quranic exegesis within the Hanafi school of thought, whose work, Ahkam al-Qur'an, serves as a primary reference in legal-oriented tafsir studies. This research aims to analyze Al-Dhahabi's critique of Ahkam al-Qur'an, which includes accusations of legal deviations, Hanafi sectarian bias, Mu'tazilite tendencies, and hostility toward Muawiyah. Through a library research approach and critical analysis, the study finds that some of Al-Dhahabi's criticisms, such as the claim of sectarian bias, are well-founded. However, the accusation of legal deviations can instead be seen as a form of interpretative improvisation that remains aligned with the principles of the Hanafi school. In conclusion, despite some valid criticisms, this work remains a monumental and authoritative contribution among Hanafi scholars.

Dalam analisis semiotika Barthes, makna tahap pertama sistem linguistik (denotasi) mengacu pada lebah sebagai makhluk yang diilhami Tuhan untuk membuat sarang, memakan buah-buahan, dan menghasilkan madu sebagai obat bagi manusia. Sementara itu, makna tahap kedua sistem mitologi (konotasi) mencakup nilai-nilai simbolis seperti ketaatan, kedisiplinan, kerja sama, persaudaraan, kepedulian terhadap alam dan lingkungan, serta bermanfaat bagi sekitar. Lebih jauh makna mitologi dari semiotika Barths ini, menjadi mitos yang menghubungkan nilai-nilai agama dengan praktik kehidupan sehari-hari, mengajak manusia untuk merenungkan keteraturan alam sebagai refleksi kekuasaan Tuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa simbolisme lebah dalam surah An-Nahl ayat 68-69 tidak hanya menawarkan inspirasi spiritual, tetapi juga membuka wawasan tentang hubungan harmonis antara manusia dan alam. Pendekatan semiotika Barthes memberikan pemahaman mendalam tentang bagaimana simbol-simbol ini membentuk praktik dan refleksi spiritual dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
Reinterpretasi Aborsi: Studi Tafsir Feminis atas Hak Kesehatan Reproduksi Perempuan
Authors: Apriani Laelati Dwina , Muhamad Iqbal Mustofa  , Eni Zulaiha
Published: January 2025

The issue of abortion in Islam has been a long-standing debate among scholars, particularly concerning women's reproductive rights. In many classical interpretations, abortion is often regarded as a prohibited act of murder, based on Qur'anic verses such as QS. Al-An’am [6]: 151 and QS. Al-Isra [17]: 31. These interpretations frequently overlook the context of women as legal subjects with specific needs and conditions, such as trauma from sexual violence or threats to their life. This article explores the reinterpretation of abortion in Islam through the lens of feminist exegesis, emphasizing pragmatic approaches and the principles of maqashid syariah. Feminist exegesis offers a perspective that recognizes women's reproductive rights as integral to the protection of life (hifzh an-nafs) and lineage (hifzh an-nasl). Through an analysis of feminist scholars like Faqihuddin Abdul Qodir and Husein Muhammad, this article demonstrates that abortion can be permissible under certain circumstances for the welfare of women. The findings indicate that this reinterpretation not only provides practical solutions but also aligns with the primary objectives of Islamic law, namely ensuring justice and safeguarding women's rights within a humanistic religious framework.
Penafsiran Term Qawwam pada QS. Al-Nisa’: 34 dan Korelasinya dengan Neurosains
Authors: Rifqatul Husna  , Ira Bariroh
Published: January 2025

Patriarchy is a viewpoint that positions men as superior to women. This perspective is considered legal by many Muslims, using QS. An-Nisa’ verse 34 as its main foundation. This study discusses the word qawwam in that verse to find the correlation between Quraish Shihab's interpretation in Tafsir al-Mishbah and neuroscience, answering whether a husband being qawwam in a household is a privilege that justifies patriarchy and whether, from a neuroscience perspective, he is fit to be a leader. This research is a thematic study using library research methods with data analysis techniques in the form of content analysis. From this research, it can be concluded that, in terms of neuroscience, the responsibility of a man to be qawwam—having an instinct to protect as he is responsible—is a gift directly given by Allah. Men are endowed by Allah with a hypothalamus that is two and a half times larger than that of women. Thus, from a neuroscience perspective, men are more suited to be leaders in the household, which in the Qur’an is referred to as qawwam. However, women are also given advantages by Allah with a corpus callosum that is thicker than that of men. In Tafsir al-Mishbah, the word qawwam is interpreted as a leader and guardian in the sense of fulfilling needs, attention, care, defense, and nurturing. Therefore, the leadership given to the husband is not a privilege but a responsibility that must be carried out properly. The patriarchal culture that views men as superior to women, leading to the neglect of women's rights in the household, is not the leadership desired by the Qur'an and is supported by neuroscience.

Authors: Aljabbar Muhammad Muslich , Wildah Nurul Islami
Published: January 2025

This research examines the phenomenon of Living Qur’an in Pondok Pesantren Mahasiswa Al-Jihad Surabaya which has been going on since 2015 and is manifested through the tradition of reading eight selected surahs every last Thursday of the month. The surahs read include al-Kahfi, al-Sajdah, Yasin, al-Dukhan, al-Waqi‘ah, al-Mulk, al-Insan, and al-Buruj. This tradition is only followed by tahfiz students and has been going on for generations without an explicit explanation of its benefits from the teacher. This study aims to examine the procession of tradition implementation and understand its meaning for tahfiz teachers, tahfiz administrators, and tahfiz students. The method used is descriptive-qualitative with Alfred Schutz's phenomenological approach. The results showed that the tradition procession consisted of five stages. First, the recitation of the kalam qadim prayer. Second, the recitation of tawasul. Third, the recitation of eight selected surahs alternately by tahfiz students. Fourth, the reading of tahlil, mauizah hasanah, and prayer together. Fifth, eating together. In terms of subjective and objective meanings, this tradition is seen as special, sacred, and a distinctive identity of tahfiz Al-Jihad students. The motives behind this tradition, both in terms of because of motive and in order to motive, include spiritual needs, obedience to the teacher, the obligation to follow the rules of the pesantren, a means to murajaah memorisation of the Qur'an, and the hope of getting blessings from each surah read and becoming a better person in the future.
Developing speaking skills through task-based learning in English as a foreign language classroom
Authors: Gautam Nayak  , Parthivkumar Patel
Published: January 2025

When it comes to communication, speaking is a popular way to express oneself. The continuous experience of researchers involved in this study has shown that most students are unsuccessful or face problems with speaking skills. They encountered difficulties communicating themselves effectively and efficiently or even communicating in simple day-to-day English. This emphasizes the need for the active participation of learners in the process of learning. One such learner-centric and learning-centric method is Task-Based Language Teaching, which requires students to finish tasks that are significant to them as a part of the learning process. Learning through tasks emphasizes the utilization of language for the sake of meaningful communication. A communication method called task-based language teaching (TBLT) has been extensively used in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. It has been demonstrated to be of considerable use in enhancing the communication abilities of students receiving instruction. Trying to understand better how tasks influence students’ desire to speak English and their spoken engagement with one another in the classroom, this research set out to answer these questions. The sample size of participants in the study included ninety adolescents who were students at Parul University. Their feedback indicated that the tasks were beneficial, both in terms of increasing their oral interaction in English and their enthusiasm to speak English in class.
