Published: June 2022

Background: Understanding the attitude and motives and differences between voluntary and replacement blood donation is the key to the sustainable availability of this precious resource. This study aimed to assess the attitude and motives for convalescent plasma (CP) donation in the recovered COVID-19 plasma donors and further understand the differences between voluntary and replacement donation.Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted among500 COVID-19 recovered blood donors who visited for CP donation at a tertiary care super-speciality centre in northern India. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on donor attitude, motives, and belief, which was validated by the experts of Psychiatry, Transfusion Medicine, and Epidemiology and was administered by the online medium.Results: The study’s findings depicted that voluntary plasma donors were previously regular blood donors (36.8%) compared to replacement plasma donors (26.4%). Almost all voluntary donors (99.5%) showed altruistic reasons to donate plasma and expressed that donating plasma is a good way to save a life, and it was more than for replacement plasma donors (p=0.004). The motives of most voluntary plasma donors were to contribute to society, and they believed that donating plasma is a good way, while it was not the case for most replacement plasma donors (p=0.02). Voluntary donors were more eagerly willing to donate plasma to help COVID sufferers (40.9%) when compared to replacement donors (33.2%) (p=0.037).Conclusion: Most voluntary plasma donors were regular whole blood donors and were keen to contribute to society. Convalescent plasma donation during this time of grief and loss was considered a moral responsibility by voluntary donors. The impact of media was more highly perceived in voluntary plasma donors when compared to replacement donors.

OBJECTIVES

Characterize the association of sociodemographic factors with reported penicillin allergy in pediatric inpatients.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of pediatric inpatients admitted to general pediatric units at an academic medical center with reported penicillin allergy and reaction history. Sociodemographic factors evaluated were gender, age, race, ethnicity, language, and insurance payer. We conducted univariable and multivariable logistic regression models to evaluate associations between demographic variables and penicillin allergy.

RESULTS

Of 3890 pediatric inpatients, 299 (7.7%) had a reported penicillin allergy. The majority of documented reaction histories were hives, rash, or unknown. In univariable analysis, odds of penicillin allergy were lower in patients who identify as Black and who prefer a language other than English, and higher in patients of non-Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, those with private insurance, and with increasing age. In multivariable logistic regression, only Black race (adjusted odds ratio 0.42, 95% confidence interval CI 0.30–0.59) and young age were significantly associated with lower odds of penicillin allergy.

CONCLUSIONS

After adjustment for covariates, Black race was associated with lower odds of reported penicillin allergy in hospitalized children. Penicillin allergy reporting may be an indicator of racial differences in the prescribing of antimicrobial agents, patient–clinician communication, and access to health care.
Kadı Siraceddin El-Urmevî’nin Metafizik Anlayışı ve Metafizik Kavramlara Yaklaşımı
Authors: ÖZTÜRK KOCABIYIK Nilüfer
Published: June 2022

Metafizik, felsefenin en temel disiplinlerinden birini oluşturmaktadır. Genellikle Aristoteles’ten itibaren onun konusu “varlık olması bakımından varlık” şeklinde kabul görmüştür. Ancak İslam düşünce tarihinde zaman zaman metafiziğin yerine kelamın üst bilim olarak kabul edilmesi gerektiğini düşünenler olmuştur. Dolayısıyla bu düşünürler metafiziğin konusu kabul edilen “varlık olması bakımından varlığı” kelamın konusu olarak ifade etmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada söz konusu iddianın doğru olduğunu düşünen ve bu fikri oluşum çerçevesinde şekillenen filozof kelamcıların oluşturduğu felsefî kelam ekolüne mensup olan Kadı Siraceddin el-Urmevî’nin metafizik ilmine ve metafizik kavramlara yaklaşımı ele alınacaktır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma Urmevî’ye göre metafizik ve metafizik kavramlar ile sınırlı olacaktır. Urmevî üzerine yapılan bu çalışmayla, Urmevî’ye göre metafizik ilminin asli konumunun ve metafizik kavramların onun düşüncesindeki anlamlarının neler olduğunun belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Söz konusu meselelerin felsefî kelam ekolüne mensup olan bir düşünür tarafından ele alınış şeklinin belirlenmesi felsefî düşüncenin gelişim seyri açısından önem arz etmektedir. Fahreddîn er-Râzî çizgisinde yazılan Metali’u’l-Envâr ve Beyânu’l-Hakk adlı eserlerini onun felsefesini ortaya koyması ve metafizik kavramları geniş bir şekilde ele alması bakımından son derece dikkat çekicidir. Ayrıca metafizik ilminin on üçüncü yüzyıldaki konumunun anlaşılmasına da katkı sunacak olan bu çalışma ile Urmevî nazarında metafiziğin üst ilim olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak metafizik kavramlara yaklaşımı metafizik ilmine yaklaşımından farklıdır. Nitekim metafizik kavramlar hususunda İbn Sînâ’nın görüşlerine yer vermekle birlikte Fahreddin er-Râzî çizgisi ağır basmaktadır.

Taqiyya. The Shia Doctrine of „Holy Deception” as a terrorists tool
Authors: Bobkier Robert
Published: June 2022

Terrorism is not a new phenomenon but occurred in societies starting from the ancient times and the Middle Ages. A classic example are the sicarii in Palestine in the first century AD; they used first in the history the tactic of murdering randomly selected people in broad daylight – fighting against the “Romanization” as present terrorists fighting against the “Americanization”. Islam was split from the beginning into the two main, hostile camps - the Sunni majority and Shiite minority. Among the Shiites was created a sect of assassins, who have used similar methods of operation like the twenty-first – century suicide bombers carrying out acts of terror even at the cost of his own life. That's assassins, citing the words of the Prophet Muhammad, developed the doctrine of taqiyya, sacred lies, “religiously-sanctioned deception” that allows you to “keep beliefs in secret.” Today taqiyya is defined as a religiously sanctioned deception made for the purpose of concealing terrorism – and is used by all, not just Shia terrorist groups.

Construction of an integral index based on macroinvertebrates to determine the quality of water with agro-industrial influence
Authors: Niño-de-Guzman Tito Michael , Vásquez-Ramos Jesús Manuel
Published: June 2022

The physicochemical and biological indices have been used in isolation; if the parameters of these indices were applied in an integrated manner, they would bring together in a single measure the functional and structural variability of the biotic and abiotic components of water quality. The aim of this study was to build a comprehensive water quality index. Eleven sampling points were selected considering different degrees of agro-industrial intervention. 21 abiotic variables and 27 biological metrics were measured. Macroinvertebrates were quantitatively collected and identified to family taxonomic level. Using Principal Component Analysis, after standardization and exclusion of uncorrelated variables (VIF ≤ 10), the abiotic gradient was determined, which represented the abiotic variables that explained the disturbances in the water; with the abiotic gradient and the biological metrics, a Pearson correlation was performed, and those biological metrics that presented a high and non-redundant correlation were selected (Pearson 0.6 ≤ r ≤ 0.8); with the selected biological metrics, we proceeded to formulate and categorize the index; finally, by means of simple linear regression, the proposed index was compared with five other indexes (ICA, ICOMO, EPT, BMWP/col. and ASPT). The results showed that the abiotic gradient was defined by CP 1 which explained 65.5% of the accumulated variance, represented by altitude (r = 0.411), iron (r = 0.345) and dissolved oxygen (r = 0.329). The biological metrics used for the index design were: % scrapers, % swimmers, NEF of order 2, Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera tolerance. It was concluded that the integral index presents a higher predictive level (R2 = 0.87) of water quality, compared to the other indices: ASPT (R2 = 0.79), BMWP/col. (R2 = 0.68), EPT (R2 = 0.61), ICOMO (R2 = 0.35) and ICA (R2 = 0.27).

Authors: Huanuqueño Hugo , Zolla Gastón , Jimenez Jorge
Published: June 2022

A novel approach to strengthen maize breeding strategies is the use of the multi-trait stability index (MTSI), this index allows the identification of more stable and high-yielding genotypes with greater reliability than previous methods. To select outstanding purple popcorn S1 lines based on the MTSI, 80 purple popcorn S1 lines were evaluated in three environments. 11 characteristics were studied: expansion volume (VE), pigmented pericarp (PP), grain yield (GY), expansion percentage (PE), male flowering (FM), ear length (LM), grain moisture (HG), plant height (AP), weight of 100 grains (PG), volume of 100 grains (VG) and expanded grain size (TG). The results indicated that the environmental differences contributed to a greater extent to the total variation, followed by the genotypic differences, both were significant for all the variables, in addition, the genotype x environment interaction was significant in 10 of 11 characteristics evaluated. According to the MTSI and with a selection pressure of 15%, 12 purple popcorn S1 lines were selected as the most stable and high yielding among the 80 genotypes evaluated. The selected S1 lines will be converted into double haploid lines and evaluated for their general and specific combinatorial abilities, likewise, the unknown antioxidant capacity will be determined.

Impact of different troposphere models on the real-time multi-GNSS PPP performance
Authors: BAHADUR Berkay
Published: June 2022

With the initialization of IGS (International GNSS Service) real-time service products, real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) applications have been a popular topic within the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) users. The impact of the troposphere on GNSS signals is one of the most crucial error sources regarding the real-time PPP solution. In the PPP technique, the dry component of tropospheric delay is usually corrected by means of empirical models, while its wet component is estimated as an unknown parameter in the adjustment process. Hence, the troposphere model employed in the PPP solution has a considerable impact on the performance of the obtained solution. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of different troposphere models on the performance of real-time multi-GNSS PPP. As a part of this study, four different troposphere models, where Saastamoinen and Hopfield models that are most frequently used in GNSS solutions are used together with GPT (Global Pressure and Temperature) 2 and 3 models separately, were constituted. In this context, the observation dataset acquired from a total of 16 different IGS stations over a ten-day period of December 19-28, 2021, were processed utilizing four different troposphere models. In addition to the positioning performance, PPP solutions were also analyzed in terms of zenith total delay (ZTD) estimation. The results show that the best positioning performance can be obtained when the Saastamoinen model is used in combination with GPT3. The three-dimensional positioning accuracy acquired from the corresponding solution is 2.72 cm, which is better than the closest solution by a ratio of 9.2%. Besides, in terms of the ZTD estimation, the best performance is achieved again in the case when the Saastamoinen model is used in combination with GPT3. For the related solution, the accuracy of ZTD estimation is calculated as 1.24 cm and this value indicates a better performance by a ratio of 10.2% compared with the closest solution.
THE MEMORY ABOUT BYZANTINE JACOBITES AND MELEKITES: 1500 YEARS IN PLACE NAMES IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Tyshchenko K.
Published: June 2022

The linguistic evidence of contacts of the Early Christian time between the Middle Dnieper region and Syria is highlighted. Found Aramaic Prototypes of such loanwords as Ukr. han'ba, shana, lylyk-nichka, norytsia, spyzharnia, saraka. It is shown that they are connected by means of realities designated by them with the wandering Syrian Monks-Sarakots (IV-VIth c.). These contacts get specific localization in persisted toponyms in Ukraine Sorokotychi, Rakhvalivka, Trypillia, Khalepya, Zoziv, Oskolonivka, in Ukrainian family names Sorokotiah, Rukhaylo, Zoza, Skolonets' etc. Now, the repeated spatial closeness to the already studied toponyms of a new "pattern" of names is revealed. Their bases are Sever(yn)-, Ladyh/zh-, Nastas/sh-, Melekh/sh-. The very fact of their relationship makes probable their prototypes: Syr. ܣܸܘܸܪܘܿܣ Severus 'Cyrus the Great' (from Antiochia), ܠܐܕܝܩܝܐ lâdîqîyâ, Λαοδίκεια, اللاذقية al-Lādhiq(iye) 'Laodicea in Syria', Ἀναστάσιος 'Anastasius I', ܡܠܟܝܐ malkoyo Μελχίτοι 'melekites'. All these concepts are connected not just by an epoch, but by a specific historical event, the Council of 512.
LINGUISTIC ISSUE IN THE UKRAINIAN STATE-BUILDING OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Authors:   National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, Kazakevych O.
Published: June 2022

The article highlights an importance of the language for the survival of the Ukrainian national identity as well as its role in the state-building processes of the 20th century. The author analyzes the state policy towards Ukrainian during the National revolution of 1917-1921 and Soviet period. It is stated, that the linguistic policy of the Ukrainian authorities in 1917-1921 included acceptance of Ukrainian as a state language, its popularization and implementation in document flow, public administration, education, science and publishing. The linguistic policy of the state based itself on the ethnic tolerance and democratic principles. In search for support of the wider circles of the Ukrainian society, the Soviet regime, established in the early 1920ties, had to adopt the policy of “Ukrainization”. During the next decade the sphere of the Ukrainian language use expanded significantly. However, the Ukrainization appeared to be only a short-term solution. In the early 1930ties the Bolshevik ruling elite abandoned the policy of Ukrainization, while the leading Ukrainian administrators and public figures that supported this policy were repressed. At the same time, even the short-term Ukrainization of the 1920ties – early 1930ties was fruitful enough. It had a longue durée that fueled Ukrainian national identity during the periods that followed. In the years of de-Stalinization Ukrainian intellectuals searched for the possible ways to increase the usage of the Ukrainian language. They fulfilled numerous artistic and research projects and backed the rights of the Ukrainian language publicly. It is important to note that the linguistic policy of the Soviet authorities presumed the support of the Russian language in all spheres of the social life. This policy was implemented through the state institutions, such as schools, universities, scientific centers, mass media, armed forces, health care, and prison system. As a result, Ukrainian was widely treated as a language of the lower status (Ukrainian as a ‘rural language’ in contrast to the Russian as an ‘urban language’) and bilingualism flourished among the population of Ukraine. The population censuses of 1926, 1959 and 1989 clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of this policy. Nevertheless, it never resulted in total Russification of the Ukrainian population. The Ukrainian language maintained its relevance for Ukrainian nation and state building of the 20th century. It continued to contribute in national consolidation and allowed to preserve the Ukrainian political identity, even despite the assimilation policy provided by the central authorities.
INDO-EUROPEAN MUSICAL IDIOM AND INDO-EUROPEAN ETHNOGENESIS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, NAZAROV Nazarii
Published: June 2022

This article for the first time proposes a methodological bridge between comparative and historical linguistics, classical philology (on the one hand) and ethnomusicology (on the other hand). Thus, it is possible to verify the results obtained independently in various fields of humanities of the 20th century. The present article compares rhythmical patterns of songs with explicit ritual use from different ethnic groups speaking Indo-European languages (Slavic, Baltic, Greek, Albanian, Iranian, and others). In these songs, there are two main types of stable rhythm patterns (0101/0100 and 011/010) which correlate with two main types of Indo-European poetic metrical patterns independently reconstructed by Indo-European linguistics. It suggests that folk songs preserved a range of possible Indo-European rhythmic patterns, even though languages have changed prosodic properties over time. The present study follows the track of previous studies, which showed partial parallels in Baltic, Slavic-Balcan, and Indo-Aryan song patterns, which loans could not explain. Further analysis of rhythmic patterns revealed their connections with prosodic and syntactic properties of Indo-European sentence. Relative rhythmic complexity of possible Indo-European musical idiom may be correlated to the rhythmic complexity of textiles that may be connected to some Indo-European speaking ethnic groups. The parallels outside the Indo-European cultural range show possible Uralic and Caucasian components of Indo-European musical idiom, which may indicate components of ethnogenesis of Indo-European ethnic groups. Thus ethnomusicology may be regarded as an independent source for studying prehistory, along with linguistics, archeology, and genetics. Though proposed in the 20th century by B. Bartok, V. Goshovsky, G. Luko, this program of ethnomusicological research has not yet been implemented.

Published: June 2022

In March 2021 three strong earthquakes with magnitudes (Mw) of 6.3, 6.0, and 5.2 occurred in Thessaly plain, Greece, on 3, 4, and 12 March, respectively. The modeling of all the three sources, by inversion of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar and Global Positioning System data, indicates a northeast–southwest-trending extensional stress field with indications for northeast-dipping sources. The unmapped fault source of the first mainshock (Mw 6.3) is located approximately 6 km to the southwest of the known Larissa fault (LF). Moreover, the fault that was activated during the second mainshock (Mw 6.0) appears to be located more to the north, bordering the Titarisios river valley to the southwest, whereas the third mainshock (Mw 5.2) appears to be triggered at a fault segment located further to the northwest. The Coulomb stress analysis using the slip distributions of the three aforementioned mainshocks revealed a unilateral triggering of the second and third event toward the northwest, and explained the spatial development of the entire aftershock sequence. Furthermore, among the already known active faults in the broader area, only the LF was brought closer to failure as a result of the imparted stress changes.
Ground-Motion Observations and Probabilistic Seismic Hazard: Frequently Asked Questions
Authors: Iervolino Iunio
Published: June 2022

Observed exceedances of ground-motion intensity from probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), in countries where it is used for structural design, spark significant public attention, rekindle scientific debates, and are sometimes discussed in trials about the accountability for structural failures and other earthquake-related losses. This short article addresses, in a question-reply format, some recurring issues and related research findings that should be carefully taken into account by those who author or face these reasonings. It considers Italy as a reference, yet the discussed issues are common to several other countries worldwide and thus may be interesting at an international level. The arguments provided, mainly stemming from the fact that observed cases of exceedance should not necessarily be considered a failure of PSHA, can possibly help in gaining a more informed perception of seismic hazard assessment and structural design as implemented in building codes.
Pactos de vida e de morte

Published: June 2022

O artigo realiza uma leitura crítica de “A gente combinamos de não morrer”, conto que integra a antologia Olhos d’água (2014), de Conceição Evaristo. O objetivo do estudo foi o de refletir sobre como a violência agencia as formas de vida contemporâneas das personagens na narrativa em consonância com a história de nosso próprio passado escravocrata e colonial, dores profundamente traumáticas que não conseguiram, até hoje, ser devidamente elaboradas e, por isso, superadas. Partindo também do interesse pelas questões de gênero e das memórias coletivas e afrodescendentes, procuramos problematizar a relação entre a ética da vida e a criação literária, destacando modos como os efeitos memorialistas da escravidão negra que se manifestam na narrativa levam os corpos das personagens do conto a encenar gêneros e a praticar violências na constituição de suas identidades negras.

The current study assesses the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on tourism workers’ health and well-being in Jordan by investigating coronavirus threats, financial impacts, resources impacts, social isolation, depression and personal control experienced by tourism workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how the threats and impacts of the coronavirus pandemic affect workers’ health and well-being. A quantitative survey method was applied using a questionnaire. Data were collected from a sample of 400 tourism workers in Jordan. The study’s findings revealed that tourism workers are financially strained, socially isolated, psychologically depressed, experiencing a lack of personal control, and have limited resources due to their dread of the pandemic and its negative impacts. It was also found that a significant negative direct effect of perceived coronavirus threats and their impacts on workers’ depression and personal control had a significant influence on workers’ health and well-being. The current study proposed a model of the influence of coronavirus on tourism workers’ health and well-being through their personal control and depression.

There is currently no exact dynamic model which predicts hysteresis and creeps in a piezoelectric actuator under varying operating conditions (increasing frequency and amplitude of input, time of operation, temperature effects), and is stable against uncertainties. Thus, research needs to be carried out to predict the hysteresis and creep on the modeling and identification of the non-linear dynamics of a piezoelectric actuator. It would aid the implementation of a model-based control algorithm such as the precise positioning of a nano-positioning.
Multi-Spectral Image Fusion Using Wavelet Transform
Authors: Patel Mitul M. , Yadav Arvind R.
Published: June 2022

The fusion of visible and infrared images of the same scene results in a single fused image that can provide a more detailed interpretation of the situation. With the help of energy compression and multiresolution characteristics of wavelets, which fuse the salient features such as edges and textures from source images without introducing any artifacts for context improvement and situational awareness, image fusion is more effective. This paper combines visible and infrared images (LWIR and NIR) using different wavelet transform methods on night-time imagery up to the 8th level of image decomposition. The performance of various wavelet techniques for multi-spectral image fusion was evaluated based on subjective and objective parameters. Additionally, Petrovic Metric parameters are used to measure the fusion performance.

The Data stream clustering is an active area of research that has recently emerged with the goal of discovering new knowledge from a large amount and variability of constantly generated data. In this context, different-different algorithm for unsupervised learning that clusters multiple data streams has been proposed by many researchers. There is a need for a more efficient and efficient data analysis method. This paper introduces a multi-level K-Means density-based flow clustering algorithm (MKDCSTREAM) for clustering problems. This approach proposes to view the problem of clustering is a optimization process hierarchy that follow different levels, from unrefined to subtle. In the clustering problem, for the solution first divide the problem in parts, by following different levels to make the first clustering a coarser problem than calculated. Coarse problem clustering is mapped level by level and improves the Clustering the original problem by improving intermediate clustering using the general K-means algorithm. Compare the performance of the hierarchical approach with its single-tier approach using tests with a set of datasets collected from different areas.

Rumbas y fotogramas. Presencia y esencia de Xavier Cugat en el cine
Authors: Pérez Valero Luis
Published: June 2022

En el presente trabajo se describe la participación de Xavier Cugat en el cine, para ello se usó el análisis por recurrencia, segmentación por períodos históricos y una aproximación desde la musicología para la producción musical. Se ha realizado una conceptualización sobre lo tropical en el cine durante la trayectoria cinematográfica del músico catalán. El corpus de estudio estuvo constituido por 73 películas en las que participó el músico como actor, compositor e incluso en producciones después de su muerte. Como conclusión se ha obtenido la categorización de la participación de Cugat en seis categorías: incursión en el cine silente, participación en producciones sonoras, trayectoria en los musicales de Hollywood, figura en el cine europeo, incursión en el cine español y una presencia indirecta en el cine argentino de finales de los años cuarenta. Se deja por sentado la contribución de Cugat en el imaginario de lo tropical en el cine internacional.
Iconografía, poética y música. Un análisis iconográfico de los videoclips de Leonard Cohen realizados por directoras.
Authors: Guillén González Zuleyma , Pérez Díaz Pompeyo
Published: June 2022

El presente trabajo se centra en el estudio de los elementos iconográficos que aparecen en los cuatro videoclips de canciones de Leonard Cohen realizados por directoras: Dance Me To The End of Love (1984) y First We Take Manhattan (1988), de Dominique Issermann; In My Secret Life (2001), de Floria Sigismondi; y Because Of (2004), de Lorca Cohen. Lo cierto es que, aunque no abundan los estudios sobre los pocos videoclips oficiales editados durante la carrera de Leonard Cohen, nos parece que se trata de un lenguaje audiovisual idóneo para la inclusión de componentes simbólicos recurrentes en su escritura. Además, el hecho de que estos fueran filmados por mujeres nos interesa, dado que las numerosas alusiones a la feminidad en los textos del autor.

Dual-Motor Balance Tasks Prompts Slight Lower Limb Neuromuscular Adaptations in Healthy Young Adults
Authors: Rosario Martin G , Smith Tavia , Buckingham Suzanna
Published: June 2022

Previous literature has analyzed muscular recruitment patterns in various populations during complex balance conditions that involve a secondary task. This inquiry seeks to determine whether challenging sensory systems in young adults during single and dual-motor tasks can prompt modifications in neuromuscular patterns at the hip and leg musculature. Our study included twenty-nine healthy young adults (3 males and 25 females) with an average age of 24.3+/-2.4. Electromyography (EMG) electrodes were used to collect EMG data, and the variables of interest include the onset of muscle contraction, the decay of muscle contraction, peak muscle activation, and duration of muscle contraction. Five balance activities were conducted while performing a dual-motor task, while sensory input was altered in each condition. No significant changes in EMG activity were observed in the gastrocnemius (GA) and (TA) muscle activity. However, a tendency was observed in the onset and duration values of the gluteal muscles. Recruitment of the TA and GA remained uniform across variables, but gluteus maximus (GMax) and medius (GMed) activity appeared sooner (onset) and lasted longer (duration). Comparability in muscle recruitment during dual-task balance activities indicates healthy young adults can successfully rely on other sensory systems for balance when one or more networks are altered. Increases in GA and TA activity suggested a greater need for ankle strategies during the condition trials, while increased GMax and GMed activity indicated the same for hip strategies. Further research should examine joint kinematic to discern any adaptations during dual-motor tasks in young, healthy adults.

Published: June 2022

Arabic is a language that is often used in modern Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia as a means of communication for students in their daily conversations. When Arabic is used among students as a communication tool, Arabic words or expressions arise that have changed from the meaning of fusha or from the initial meaning to meanings that other people, especially native speakers of the language cannot understand, except by the students themselves. Pondok Modern An Najah Putra is a Modern Islamic Boarding School educational institution that requires its students to use Arabic and English in daily conversation, this language obligation raises the phenomenon of changing meanings in sentences or expressions in the Arabic language they use which can only be understood by their environment. Therefore, this research is focused on changing Arabic words and expressions of the students of Pondok Modern An Najah Putra in daily conversation. To achieve this goal, the researcher uses a type of field research by using a descriptive qualitative approach to describe the facts that exist in the research area with the main subject of research changing meaning and the object of research is the words and expressions that exist in the students of Pondok Modern An Najah Putera. both verbally and written. The results of this study are words and expressions that have exchanged their meaning from the meaning of fusha or the initial meaning to other meanings that are only understood by students, forms of meaning exchange such as narrowing of meaning, expansion of meaning, and exchanges in new meanings with associations, exchanges in meaning. the meaning of mashdar to fi'il, exchanging the meaning of mashdar to ismul fa'il, exchanging the meaning of shifah musyabbah bi ismi al-fail to mashdar, exchanging the meaning of ismul fa'il to isim maf'ul, exchanging ismul maf'ul to fi'il, and exchanging harf to fi'il.

MAQASHID AL-QUR’AN: PERSPEKTIF ULAMA KLASIK DAN MODERN
Authors: ‘Azmy Khalilah Nur
Published: June 2022

Abstract: This article compares Maqashid Al-Qur’an or main themes of al-Qur’an as identified by classical and modern time exegetes. The analysis on four classical Qur’anic scholars and four modern-time exegetes indicates that the main themes of al-Qur’an evolve from time to time. It shows that classical Qur’anic scholars tended to view that al-Qur’an focuses on theological issues surrounding tauhid, prophethood and the Hereafter, while modern-time scholars thought that al-Qur'an also paid serious attentions to contemporary concerns. This article also discusses Maqashid Al-Qur’an as a critique to exegeses that filled the space with unimportant matters, such as detailed historical events mentioned in al-Qur’an as opposed to focusing on explaining the objective of a verse or sȗrah. Finally, it suggests that the awareness of Maqashid Al-Qur’an opens the space for new mufassir to find the relevance of al-Qur’an for their age. Abstrak: Artikel ini membandingkan Maqashid al-Qur’an atau tema-tema pokok al-Qur’an hasil pemikiran mufassir klasik dan modern. Analisis terhadap empat ulama klasik dan empat penafsir zaman modern menunjukkan adanya perkembangan tema-tema pokok al-Qur’an dari waktu ke waktu. Para ahli tafsir klasik cenderung melihat bahwa al-Qur’an berkonsentrasi pada isu-isu teologis meliputi ketuhanan, kenabian, dan akhirat, sementara para ahli tafsir modern menganggap bahwa al-Qur’an juga memberikan perhatian serius pada masalah-masalah kontemporer. Artikel ini juga mendiskusikan Maqashid al-Qur’an sebagai sebuah kritik terhadap para ahli tafsir yang membahas hal-hal yang kurang penting, seperti rincian peristiwa sejarah yang disebutkan di dalam al-Qur’an ketimbang menjelaskan tujuan dari sebuah ayat atau surah. Akhirnya, artikel ini menyarankan bahwa kesadaran akan Maqashid al-Qur’an akan membuka ruang bagi para mufassir baru untuk menemukan kesesuaian antara al-Qur’an dan tantangan zaman mereka.
