Environmental protection is becoming a primary objective when choosing processes and technologies for treating oily waters resulting from hydrocarbon production. The focus of treating oily waters is to eliminate contaminants from effluents before discharging them into the receiving environment while adhering to discharge standards. Our work aims to analyze the treatment process for oily waters in the API unit of the North Industrial Center (CINA), which involves a physical–chemical treatment using activated silica and Kurifix. The study aims to improve the treatment process used for oily water treatment to ensure water conservation for reuse. To enhance the CINA-HMD oily water treatment process, we created coagulants with different doses (C1–C6) using sodium silicate, activated silicate (sodium silicate + sulfuric acid), distilled water, Kurifix, and an oxygen scavenger while measuring pH, HC (hydrocarbon), and SS (suspended solids) levels. Coagulation and flocculation processes were used to remove suspended solids and hydrocarbons from the water. The results show that the coagulant used reduces suspended matter and hydrocarbon content and increases pH. The best treatment is achieved with a coagulant prepared with distilled water, 5% sodium silicate, and 2% sulfuric acid. The optimal dose of coagulant is 16 ppm. Automatic dosing provides better efficiency than manual dosing. The study recommends continuous verification of chemical preparation and injection, periodic cleaning of settling tanks, and monitoring of oily water entering the station.
Crisis sistémica del capitalismo y el conflicto capital- vida: una ofensiva al derecho a la tierra
Authors: Dias Verrone Amanda , Ricobom Gisele
Published: September 2023

La manutención de la estructura heteropatriarcal y racista de poder, recuperada y perfeccionada por el capitalismo, conlleva a una intensificación de la crisis sistémica de este modelo caracterizado por el conflicto insuperable entre la acumulación por desposesión del capital y la sostenibilidad de la vida. Una crisis permanente que en territorios como América Latina se inicia con la colonización y es sostenida actualmente por los representantes del capital transnacional, responsables por la perpetuación de una estructura agraria latifundista y concentradora de la propiedad de la tierra. Frente a este histórico escenario contrario a los derechos humanos, de los pueblos y de la naturaleza, se observa que el no acceso a la tierra presenta su dimensión más nefasta en las zonas rurales, donde el avance de la necropolítica es tan visual como necesario a la manutención de este modelo de organización social incapaz de generar la vida por sí mismo. Utilizando del análisis interdisciplinario y buscando aprehender la realidad como totalidad, el presente estudio propone un dialogo entre la teoría crítica del derecho, la sociología jurídica, la cuestión agraria y el feminismo para comprender las bases territoriales del modelo de dominación y revelar la actualidad del control de la tierra para su manutención.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Headache is one of the essential symptoms of pituitary adenoma associated with the tumor and the patient’s characteristics. The pattern of adenoma-related headaches varies widely and can significantly impact the patient’s quality of life. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the severity and pattern of headaches in patients with pituitary adenoma in Iran. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated 109 patients with an initial complement of headaches. The diagnosis of pituitary adenoma was confirmed. Patients’ demographic characteristics [e.g., gender, body mass index (BMI), and age] and tumor characteristics (e.g., subtype of tumor and size of tumor) were collected by interview, clinical examination, and imaging. We measured the severity of the headache using Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) questionnaire version 1.1. Results: In our study, the most common subtype of pituitary adenoma was prolactinoma, followed by non-functional growth hormone (GH)-releasing and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-releasing adenomas. Functional adenoma was significantly more common in women; however, the incidence of non-functional adenoma was more in men (61%), indicating the correlation between gender and subtype of adenoma (P=0.008). Most tumors were functional microadenomas (69%), while macroadenomas were primarily non-functional (50%). The HIT-6 scores demonstrated that functional microadenomas had higher HIT-6 scores and patients with prolactinoma experienced more severe headaches than other subtypes (P=0.003). Conclusion: Our study revealed significant effects of the type of adenoma on the severity of headaches, as patients with functional microadenomas had more muscular headaches. Additionally, the hormone-releasing function of tumors plays a vital part in the advent and severity of adenoma-related headaches.

Published: September 2023

In this review paper, we present data on the prevalence, etiology, and diagnostic methods of adrenal incidentalomas (AIs). AIs are tumors larger than 1 cm in size that are accidentally detected using various imaging tests. AIs are known to be responsible for secondary arterial hypertension associated with the risk of cardiovascular complications. Dual-energy CT and radiomics are promising diagnostic technologies for AIs. The conducted literature review points to the problems of verifying the hormonal profile of these tumors, which is particularly relevant in cases of bilateral adrenal lesions. We discuss the diagnostic value of comparative selective adrenal venous sampling (AVS) for determining the site of hormone hyperproduction. Despite technical challenges, AVS remains the most informative diagnostic tool for pathological process lateralization.

Aim. To study the structure and antibiotic resistance of microorganisms isolated from the lower respiratory tract of patients with community-acquired pneumonia associated with COVID-19 in the period from 2020 to 2022.

Materials and methods. In total, 1714 medical records of patients admitted to the Alperovich City Clinical Hospital No. 3. The study included cases with the documented diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia associated with COVID-19. Respiratory samples were collected from patients within the first 24 hours of admission to the hospital.

Results. Enterobacterales predominated in the overall structure of microorganisms (46%). Among this group, K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca were the most common strains. K. pneumoniae was distinguished by a high frequency of resistance to carbapenems. Pseudomonadaceae ranked second in the overall structure of microorganisms (21%). The proportion of P. aeruginosa isolates insensitive to imipenem, meropenem, and ertapenem was 30%, 23%, and 25%, respectively. The study showed high resistance of S. pneumoniae to levofloxacin (30%), erythromycin (60%), and ampicillin (60%). Staphylococcus ranked fourth in the overall structure, represented by S. aureus. All strains were susceptible to vancomycin, linezolid, and tigecycline.

Conclusions. The identification frequency of bacterial pathogens in patients with community-acquired pneumonia associated with COVID-19 did not exceed 8%. Gram-negative bacteria, mainly representatives of the Enterobacterales family, prevailed in the structure of microorganisms. Among gram-positive bacteria, Streptococcaceae were the leading pathogens. The obtained isolates were quite diverse in structure and exhibited an unfavorable profile of resistance to antimicrobial therapy.

Aim. To study the topography and expression of cell cycle markers, as well as those of inflammation and immune response, by the method of immunohistochemistry using an experimental model of endometrial hyperplasia.

Materials and methods. Endometrial hyperplasia was modeled in laboratory rats by ovariectomy and transdermal administration of estrogen to form hyperestrogenism. Morphological changes were verified by a histological method. The immunophenotypic profile was assessed by immunohistochemistry. The obtained digital values were processed by mathematical and statistical methods.

Results. The modelled endometrial hyperplasia indicated an increase in the glandular component, a decrease in the expression of estrogen receptors in the uterine horns, an increase in the mitotic activity of epithelial cells in the uterine body, an activation of cell apoptosis in all its departments, as well as a decrease in the expression of plasmocyte markers (CD138) in the stroma of all parts of the uterus and T-lymphocytes (CD8) in the stroma the body of the uterus.

Conclusion. Structural changes in endometrial hyperplasia in the setting of hyperestrogenism are caused by cell cycle dysregulation. At the same time, intracellular autoregulation systems are more effective in the uterine horns, with no changes being observed in the expression of estrogen receptors in the uterine body and the mitotic activity of cells being increased. Given the deficiency of immunocompetent T cells, the risk of tissue and cellular transformations increases in this area.
Modeling inter- and intraspecific interaction of microorganisms in a batch culture experiment
Authors: Yakovlev A. A. , Rakov A. V. , Pokazeeva Yu. N. , Shchelkanov M. Yu.
Published: September 2023

Aim. To demonstrate the possibility of using a batch culture model to study the interaction of Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonell Typhimurium, which are currently the leading serotypes in the etiology of salmonellosis, in an in vitro experiment both among themselves and in combination with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Shigella flexneri.

Materials and methods. An experimental model of microorganism associations in vitro was created by co-cultivation of different microorganism strains in an LB broth. The Salmonella and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis stains stored in the museum of G.P. Somov Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology at a temperature of –80 °C were used. The behavior of the associations under study was monitored for 24 h at 37 °C on a shaker. As a control, the growth curves of all the strains in monoculture were studied. The first research stage involved culturing S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium followed by addition of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Shigella flexneri strains (reference strain ATCC 12022) at the second stage.

Results. In the control experiment, the growth of the tested cultures was quite similar. However, when grown in associations, S. Typhimurium outgrew S. Enteritidis. A similar study conducted with three pathogens also revealed that, when grown in monoculture, the stains exhibit no significant differences in the growth rates. However, when grown in associations, the growth of Y. pseudotuberculosis is significantly suppressed from the onset of observation during the first hour. Under these conditions, S. Enteritidis takes the dominant position.

Conclusion. Our results demonstrate that batch culture can be used to study the interaction between different types of microorganisms, as well as their intraspecific relationships. We assume that the observed behavior of microorganisms can be explained, to a certain extent, by Gause’s law of competitive exclusion. This principle implies that two species competing for the same limited food source cannot coexist in one ecological niche.

Published: September 2023

Aim. To investigate lipid exchange violations, inflammatory markers levels, their connections in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and their role in AF paroxysm development and duration.

Materials and methods. 300 patients were divided into three groups: 27 patients without CAD and arrhythmias formed the control group (CG), 149 patients with CAD but without arrhythmias were included in the main group, and 124 patients with CAD and AF paroxysm were in the comparison group. The average duration of AF paroxysm in the studied group was 2 [1; 3] days (mean [95 % CI]). Such indexes were examined: total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), lipoprotein (α) (Lp(α)), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), apoprotein B (ApoB), C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6).

Results. According to our data, CAD is characterized by significant lipid exchange violations (increasing TC, LDL, TG, Lpα, ApoB and decreasing HDL; p < 0.05) and increasing inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6). The presence of AF paroxysm in CAD patients deepened such changes (increasing ApoB, IL-6, CRP; p < 0.05) and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio was increased (p < 0.05). Significant strong and middle strength correlations between inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6) and lipid exchange indexes (LDL, TG, ApoA1, ApoB, ApoB/ApoA1) were found (p < 0.05). For validation the role of lipid exchange and inflammation in AF pathogenesis ROC curve was performed: LDL + 1.6 × CRP, the area under ROC curve 0.8519 (p < 0.05). This formula can help us to predict the development of AF paroxysm in CAD patients. Moreover, a linear regression equation was created: AF Paroxysm Duration (days) = 0.91 × IL-6 – 0.95 (p < 0.05), which will help to predict AF paroxysm duration in CAD patients, too.

Conclusions. AF paroxysm occurrence in CAD patients is based on dyslipidemia and inflammation. It is connected with increasing IL-6, CRP, ApoB/ApoA1 levels. The duration of AF paroxysm in CAD patients directly depends on the IL-6 level.
On the issue of psychodiagnosis of Internet addiction against the background of social isolation and security crisis
Authors: Stoliarenko A. M. , Horodokin A. D.
Published: September 2023

Aim: to analyze the diagnostic informativeness of the Kimberly Young’s Internet Addiction Test in the conditions of social isolation and security crisis in Ukraine.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted on a contingent of 120 respondents aged 18 to 23 students, who have an experience of permanent stay in conditions of social isolation in Ukraine during 2020–2023. The distribution of the contingent by gender was symmetrical. The research method is a structured psychological interview (according to the structure of Kimberly Young’s Internet Addiction Test; in addition to the quantified assessment, the respondent was given the opportunity to provide an open answer and a comment).

Results. The analysis of the correctness of the test questions based on the open answers and comments of the respondents made it possible to establish a number of problems that violate the correctness of the assess- ment, namely: technical anachronisms – cases when the question is based on outdated technical facts that have changed radically since the time of formulation (mostly due to the appearance of mobile devices); social anachronisms – cases when the question is based on prejudice regarding violations of social functioning and social pressure on a person due to the use of the Internet by his social environment; introspection shift – cases when the questions are based on a prejudice about the negative evaluation of using the Internet; situational incorrectness – cases when the question loses its correctness in conditions of motivated social isolation and/or external danger; inaccuracies of translation and adaptation – cases when the translation of test questions into Ukrainian leads to inaccuracy or distortion of the meaning of the original question.

Conclusions. 5 categories of problems with the correctness of Kimberly Young’s Internet Addiction Test have been identified. Each of the 20 questions of the test was analyzed on the basis of the respondents’ open answers and the comments provided by them.

The existing problems of correctness related to the change in the technical paradigm of using the Internet were detected, as well as the socio-cultural changes that have occurred over the last 25 years, and with the situation of social isolation and security crisis, which significantly change the context of Internet use.

This necessitates the revision and clarification of both the phenomenon of Internet addiction itself and the methodology of its diagnosis.

La persistencia del sindicato en tiempos postindustriales. Un abordaje a partir del proceso de formalización gremial de trabajadores informáticos
Authors: Adamini Marina
Published: September 2023

Se busca analizar el proceso de formalización sindical que atravesó la agrupación Trabajadores Informáticos de Tandil (TIT), para reflexionar en torno a la persistencia jurídica y simbólica del sindicato como institución de representación de los trabajadores en el actual contexto postindustrial. A su vez, como contracara de ello, se busca analizar también las potencialidades y límites de las organizaciones sindicales informales que, como TIT, surgen como alternativa gremial en busca de ampliar la representación más allá del modelo sindical tradicional. El sector informático cuenta con amplia incidencia del empleo registrado y trabajadores asalariados con derechos sindicales formales. Sin embargo, la falta de personería gremial, las prácticas empresariales antisindicales, el distanciamiento identitario de los jóvenes informáticos respecto de los sindicatos y la alta rotación laboral dificultan un desarrollo sindical material y concreto. Eso incide en una baja tasa de sindicalización y de conflictividad en el sector. En este marco, nos interesa estudiar el proceso de emergencia de la autoorganización TIT y su posterior formalización como delegación regional de sindicato Asociación Gremial de Computación. Para ello, analizamos sus móviles e implicancias, a partir de la realización de entrevistas en profundidad a sus principales referentes y el análisis documental de sus gacetillas y publicaciones virtuales.
Juventudes y democracia: representaciones juveniles en la campaña electoral televisiva de 1989 (Brasil y Argentina)
Authors: Rocca Rivarola Dolores
Published: September 2023

Las elecciones de 1989 en Argentina y Brasil pueden ser consideradas como un momento bisagra. En Brasil, se trataba de las primeras elecciones presidenciales directas después de dos décadas de dictadura. En Argentina, aunque la población ya había votado para presidente en 1983, 1989 coincidía con un escenario de desencantamiento con la política partidaria y de profundización de la crisis económica. En esos contextos, los modos en que las juventudes aparecían representadas en las campañas electorales en televisión cobraban una especial significación, y es posible observar, como se argumentará, la circulación y latencia de discursos e imágenes sobre la misma democracia y su devenir. Este artículo sistematiza las representaciones sobre lo juvenil (sobre todo en torno a la militancia juvenil, pero también desde otras formas de referencia a jóvenes) en los programas del Horário Gratuito de Propaganda Eleitoral (HGPE), en Brasil, y en los spots, en Argentina, de los candidatos más votados (Collor, Lula da Silva, Menem y Angeloz). Esta comparación doble, entre fuerzas políticas y entre casos nacionales, se inscribe en un objetivo más general, que consiste en examinar las mutaciones en los modos de hacer campaña y se coloca como parte de la discusión acerca de las transformaciones en el vínculo político desde la redemocratización.

Some of the factors identified as influencing the profitability of Islamic banks include asset growth, volume of financing, low non-performing financing ratios, optimal financing distribution, large income spreads, low-cost funds, professional internal management, prudential principles in channeling financing, and several other factors that have an influence on the profitability of Islamic banking. This research is explanatory research (explanative research). Explanatory research seeks to explain the causal relationship between variables by testing hypotheses. The purpose of this research is to test the proposed hypothesis regarding the influence of the firm's fundamental variables on sharia stock prices as the dependent variable. This research is also quantitative. The quantitative approach is research related to quantitative data in the form of numbers that can be used with mathematical operations (Muhamad, 2008: 203). This study uses time series data with monthly data from January 2022 to June 2022. The focus of the research is the condition of all Islamic banking in Indonesia. Partially, the financing deposit ratio (FDR) has a positive and significant influence on the profitability of Islamic banking. This shows that the FDR ratio has a direct effect on the profitability of Islamic banking, because the FDR ratio is a ratio that describes a bank's ability to channel financing, and also describes the bank's liquidity. If the FDR is <80%, the bank will be burdened by profit sharing to third parties and additional Minimum Statutory Reserves (GWM) to Bank Indonesia, so that profitability is not optimal. On the other hand, if the FDR > 100%, it indicates that the bank's liquidity is disrupted.

Authors: Taufiq Muhammad Fernanda , Sobari Nurdin
Published: September 2023

The transition of the business model from games as a product to games as a service resulted in the birth of the microtransaction business model. In its development, microtransactions have given birth to many products, one of which is loot boxes. As a definition, a loot box is a gift box that can be redeemed to get random items and exclusive products from the game. This research was conducted with the aim of finding out the driving factors for impulsive purchases of loot boxes among Indonesian Generation Z FPS and MOBA video game players. This research is a survey research applied to 300 respondents who have specific criteria in the age range 18-25, especially MOBA and FPS players and have playing experience for one year or more. This research was conducted using the PLS-SEM method using SmartPLS 3.0. The research results show that the factors that influence impulsive loot box purchases and purchase intentions are perceived performance and functional value, self-control depletion, flow of experience, hedonic browsing, and social personalization attributes. It doesn't stop there, it turns out that price also has a moderating effect on intention to buy loot boxes. The price increase for loot boxes is in the range of Rp. 10,000 to Rp. 50,000 indicates a decrease in purchasing intentions based on the results of research that has been carried out.
Teori Public Sphere dalam Komunikasi Politik
Authors: Azizah Kianti
Published: September 2023

Ruang public atau public sphere merupakan ruang berdiskusi yang menurut Habermas dikatakan ideal jika terbuka untuk semua masyarakat tanpa memperhatikan posisi kelas sosialnya, setiap partisipan memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk saling memengaruhi melalui argumen mereka, dan ketidakadaan hierarki pada proses berlangsungnya ruang public. Komunikasi politik merupakan objek kajian ilmu politik karena pesan yang diungkapkan dalam proses komunikasi bercirikan politik, yakni berkaitan dengan kekuasaan politik negara, pemerintahan, dan juga aktivitas komunikator dalam kedudukannya sebagai pelaku kegiatan politik. Ruang public dalam komunikasi politik menjadi objek dari penelitian ini. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan library research yang merupakan pendekatan dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui sumber-sumber kepustakaan yang memiliki relevansi kajian penelitian dengan menggunakan in depth analysis. Penelitian ini menunjukan ruang public dapat terjadi dalam ranah komunikasi politik. Jika sebelumnya ruang public lebih bersifat langsung, saat ini ruang public cendrung terbentuk pada ranah digital. Namun, pada prakteknya, jika disesuaikan dengan indikator yang dikemukakan oleh Habermas, hampir tidak ditemukan ruang public yang ideal dan memenuhi syarat seluruh indikator.

Background: Fractures of the femoral neck are prevalent more among the elderly. Hemiarthroplasty are performed to
avoid the poor outcome of internal xation and to allow for early mobilization. However, there is insufcient evidence to
support the choice between a posterior or lateral hip approach. The goal of this study was to compare the functional and radiological outcomes of
hemiarthroplasty using posterior versus lateral approach. Cohort study was conducted among Methods: the cases with acute or chronic displaced
femoral neck fractures who underwent hemiarthroplasty through a posterior (Group P) or lateral (Group L) approach in our institute. Patients
functional outcome was analyzed using Harris hip score, as well as the complications concerned with the various surgical approaches and all of
the patients were followed for 6 months. Preoperative mean Harris score among l Results: ateral and posterior approach hemiarthroplasty was
statistically insignicant. However postoperative Harris Hip score was found to be 77.5±11.8 and 68.5±10.9 among lateral and posterior group
respectively with signicantly better outcome in lateral approach group. Also both these groups had similar outcomes in terms of complications.
Conclusion: When compared to the posterior approach for hemiarthroplasty, the use of the lateral approach for hemiarthroplasty has shown good
results without any dislocation rates, making it the preferable approach in our study.

Environmental management to control pollution of Lake Batur is getting real because of the high activity in the
surrounding environment. The sources of pollution of Lake Batur apart from agriculture, sheries and domestic, also
from tourism activities. The development of tourism objects in the Mount Batur area is almost carried out in all villages in the area. Effective
management efforts are needed to preserve the quality of the lake. In formulating an appropriate pollution control strategy requires a
comprehensive and representative analysis method. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the supporting models for decision making
based on expert judgment. This method helps decision makers in determining the policies taken by setting priorities and making the best
decisions with the qualitative and quantitative aspects needed to be considered. This study shows that the environmental management of Lake
Batur in Kintamani Bali should pay attention to the main aspects that must be managed, namely the application of an environmentally friendly
agricultural system, the behavior of people who care about the environment, the transfer of oating net cages, the compliance of tourist
accommodation businesses and the improvement of community infrastructure. The improvement of community sanitation facilities, the
obligation to process waste for businesses/activities and the transfer of oating net cages to inland shery businesses are the main elements of
efforts to manage Lake Batur. Approaches to community leaders to gain impetus for managing and building environmentally friendly agricultural
pilot projects have an important role in inuencing communities to implement green agriculture.

This study focuses on quantifying the impact of various factors on nonylphenol analysis and identifying the key contributors affecting the analytical outcomes. We calculated the measurement uncertainty arising from the analysis process using GC-MS, aiming to pinpoint uncertainty sources, quantify them numerically and then calculated the overall uncertainty through uncertainty synthesis. The results revealed that factors such as calibration curve construction, internal standard injection, and reproducibility through repeated testing significantly influenced the synthetic standard uncertainty. Negligible effects were observed during processes, involving concentration and filling the standard volume post-purification, as well as during sample collection. The relative expanded uncertainty for nonylphenol concentration was within 4.6%. The uncertainty contributions from each step were as follows: sample collection, calibration curve construction, injection of internal standards, filling of the 1 mL standard volume, and reproducibility from repeated testing accounted for 0.0%, 92.7%, 4.0%, 0.1%, and 3.2% of the total uncertainty, respectively.
A Semantic Implication of Gender Asymmetry of Dyads in Fulfulde Language
Authors: Yusuf Sadiya
Published: September 2023

This paper analysis the gender asymmetry of Fulfulde language dyads. The principal aim is to examine gender discrimination in the usage of dyads. The research adopts an ethnographic method collection and critical discourse analysis as a theoretical framework. The findings reveal that there’s gender asymmetry of dyads in the Fulfulde language. Dyads that involve masculine and feminine gender pairs, such as superiority, containment, importance, mismatch and sequence. Asymmetry is manifested syntagmatically as the order of the component from an irreversible perspective. It also shows that contrary to the claim made by Moser (1997), there are different factors, which leads to different construction of Fulfulde language.

Authors: Syafei Makhmud , Yahya M. Wildan Bin H.M. , Rahmat Munawar
Published: September 2023

Although Islam emphasizes that its followers should be able to read the Qur`ān, most students, unfortunately, cannot. Results showed that only 15% of elementary school students, 25% junior high school, 35% of high school, and 40% of university students could read the Qur`ān. Also, the 2021 pre-test results from the UPI showed that only 34% of students could read the Qur`ān. The findings from the UNISBA were better, as the 2021 pre-test results revealed that up to 60% of students were able to read it and only 40% could not. Therefore, the problem of this study is regarding how Al-Qur`ān illiteracy among students can be eradicated. Several innovative reading methods are employed in Indonesia, including the bilhikmah technique. This research aims to test the effectiveness of this method in eradicating Al-Qur`ān illiteracy from UNISBA students. It used a quasi-experimental research method, and the sample comprised 998 students of the 2021-2022 class that were unable to read the Al-Qur`ān. A total of 499 students from 14 classes attended the offline learning program, while the other half from 20 classes participated online. Before and after learning, pre-tests and post-tests were provided. Consequently, the study discovered that 84% and 74% of students from the offline and online classes, respectively, managed to improve their ability to read the Qur`ān. Based on the statistical test results, the offline program was much more effective than the online equivalent. Hence, the study recommends that the eradication of Al-Qur`ān illiteracy for students should use the bilhikmah method for both offline and online classes

Foamy gland carcinoma is a variant of prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma characterized by abundant, foamy cytoplasm, frequently showing small, pyknotic nuclei. Foamy gland carcinoma may be deceptively benign appearing and missed on needle biopsy. Most foamy gland carcinomas are Gleason score 6 or 7, although Gleason score 8-10 carcinomas have been reported. Its occurrence is extremely rare. Prognosis depends on the Gleason score and the presence or absence of perineural or extra prostatic extension. Treatment modalities of foamy gland adenocarcinoma are a similar to that of usual acinar adenocarcinoma. We report an extremely rare case of foamy gland adenocarcinoma of the prostate associated with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia lesion on TRUS core needle biopsy in a 78-year-old man presented with history of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during the last 6 months. Digital rectal examination: the prostate was enlarged, firm in consistency, non-tender, but with a nodule on its left base. Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 19 ng/mL. Prostate RMI showed a PIRADS 4 lesion on the left base of the prostate. TRUS-guided core biopsy was performed. Pathology report of the prostate cores found foamy gland adenocarcinoma; Gleason score 9 (4 +5) with presence of high-grade PIN lesion. The Bone scan and chest/abdomen CT scan were unremarkable. There were a significant relief of his LUTS under alpha-blockers. After discussion of all the management options, the patient chose a simple surveillance with a close follow-up for LUTS and PSA every 3months and thereafter acting accordingly.
