Background: Community engagement is key to developing local and context-specific strategies for the prevention and control of COVID-19. However, expedited research design and approval in the early days of the pandemic may have limited the opportunities for community members to influence pandemic-related research. In this study, we sought to understand how a Community Engagement Group (CEG) could impact a large longitudinal COVID-19 research project (Optimise), when involved solely in the interpretation and knowledge translation phases of the research. Methods: Seven community members were recruited for the CEG, representing a diverse range of groups. Each month, Optimise data of topical importance were compiled into a draft report. The CEG discussed the draft report at their monthly meeting and members’ contributions were incorporated into the final report for distribution to policy-makers. In this study, a document analysis was undertaken of ten consecutive reports produced between February and November 2021. Each report was compared pre- and post- the inclusion of CEG contributions, which were then analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Community engagement in the interpretation and knowledge translation phases of Optimise had positive impacts on reports for policy-makers, including grounding the empirical findings in broader community perspectives, identifying policy issues affecting different groups and contributing unique insights beyond the empirical findings. Overall, the CEG contributions demonstrated the complexity of lived experience lying beneath the empirical data. Conclusion: Community engagement in the translation of the Optimise findings resulted in research reports to policy-makers that were reflective of a broader range of community perspectives, and that provided potential solutions to emerging policy issues related to COVID-19. This study adds to the evidence base about the impact of community engagement in the later interpretation and knowledge translation phases of research, particularly in the context of reporting to policy-makers during a public health emergency.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The symptoms that patients with schizophrenia experience during schizophrenia are divided into two positive and negative symptoms. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on both positive and negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Method: This experimental study was a pretest-posttest plan consisting of patients with schizophrenia in Razi psychiatric hospital in Tabriz, of which 30 patients were selected in a targeted and available manner and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent anodal tDCS treatment for ten sessions of 20 minutes at 72-hour intervals, while the control group underwent dummy treatment in the same manner. The research data were collected using The Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) and analyzed using the covariance analysis method with SPSS software. Results: The results of statistical analysis showed that tDCS has a significant effect on negative and general symptoms of schizophrenia (P=0.01) but has no significant effect on positive symptoms (P≤0.05). Conclusion: To the results of the present study, we concluded that tDCS is a suitable therapeutic tool in the treatment of pathological symptoms of schizophrenia.

This study endeavors to develop a comprehensive flood routing model and ascertain dam breach parameters at the Sepaku Semoi Dam. Driven by the escalating threat of floods due to climate change and urban expansion, effective water management strategies are imperative. The increasing demand for water, juxtaposed with limited supply, underscores the pivotal role of dams in maintaining water resources, despite the inherent risks they pose in the event of failure, including loss of life, property damage, and environmental degradation. Focused on the potential causes of dam collapse, particularly overtopping and piping, this research investigates whether the Sepaku Semoi Dam has experienced overtopping through flood routing analysis, complemented by the calculation of breach parameters using the Zhong Xing HY21 model. The primary aim is to enhance understanding of flood dynamics around the dam and bolster the reliability of flood hazard predictions. Through Gap analysis, the study underscores the urgent need for improved flood risk management and understanding of dam failure potential. Employing a methodology that integrates hydrological and hydrodynamic modeling, the study aims to provide deeper insights into flood patterns around the dam and facilitate more precise calculations of dam breach parameters. The implications of this research extend to enhanced flood risk mitigation, emergency planning, and increased dam infrastructure reliability. The study's unique approach lies in its holistic integration of flood modeling and dam breach parameter calculation, which aligns with practical disaster risk management needs. Flood routing analysis indicates that the Sepaku Semoi Dam has not experienced overtopping, as evidenced by the remaining guard heights exceeding the standard guard height, while breach parameters reveal critical insights into potential dam failure scenarios.

Introdução: a clínica fonoaudiológica voltada à voz extrapola fatores anatômico-funcionais, considerando-se uma perspectiva que se afasta de um modelo biomédico, ou seja, toma, especialmente, determinantes subjetivos e sociais, como possibilita uma abordagem circunscrita na Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF). Nesse sentido, a partir dessa abordagem, leva-se em conta aspectos biopsicossociais dos profissionais que necessitam da voz em atividades laborais, como os professores universitários, os quais atuaram de forma remota pelo distanciamento físico/social no período de pandemia COVID-19. Objetivo: analisar a percepção de docentes acerca de qualidade vocal durante atividade remota no período de pandemia da COVID-19, mediante a CIF. Método: a coleta de dados foi realizada com professores universitários de duas Instituições de Ensino Superior privadas por meio da aplicação de questionário online, estruturado com sete questões a partir de categorias da CIF. Realizou-se análise estatística, a fim de realizar comparação entre os sexos. Resultados: participaram 150 docentes, 93 mulheres e 57 homens. Verificou-se diferença significante entre os sexos em cinco das sete questões determinadas neste estudo, sendo que as mulheres apresentaram maior impacto relacionado à qualidade vocal durante atividade remota. Conclusão: participantes do sexo feminino demonstraram mais efeitos relativamente à qualidade vocal em atividade remota decorrente da pandemia COVID-19. À vista disso, destaca-se a pertinência da Fonoaudiologia abordar fatos relacionadas à qualidade vocal de docentes relevando aspetos subjetivos e sociais, o que é possível ao se abordar a perspectiva da CIF, na busca de promover saúde em ambiente laboral.

O objetivo é validar a teoria de Langkjær sobre o realismo, especialmente o realismo social e o realismo psicológico, e analisar sua aplicabilidade em obras recentes da cinematografia dinamarquesa. Utilizando o quadro teórico do autor, o estudo se concentra na análise dos filmes "A Caça" e "A Comunidade", ambos dirigidos por Thomas Vinterberg. Partindo do pressuposto de que os elementos tradicionais do cinema dinamarquês, conforme descritos por Langkjær, permanecem presentes em muitas produções contemporâneas, este trabalho busca demonstrar a relevância contínua da compreensão do realismo como uma prática cinematográfica distintiva para este cinema nacional.
40 años de democracia y posguerra de Malvinas
Authors: Wainer Luis
Published: May 2024

Nos proponemos indagar sobre dos cuestiones que consideramos centrales para el análisis de la historia reciente de la cuestión Malvinas: por un lado, el tratamiento de los gobiernos argentinos al reclamo de soberanía (antes y después de la guerra de 1982) y, por el otro, la estrategia política de expansión británica en Malvinas y en el océano Atlántico Sur. Ambas dimensiones deben ser analizadas de forma yuxtapuesta, dada la relación entre las formas de abogar por la soberanía por parte de Argentina y el modo en que Gran Bretaña avanzó en su estrategia de control, exploración y explotación de los recursos estratégicos que provee el territorio usurpado. En consecuencia, las maneras de dilatar el tratamiento de la soberanía. Partimos de una hipótesis que indica que, el período de negociaciones de los años 1965-1982, estableció las bases para comprender los márgenes de acercamientos y la estrategia de control británico. El factor recursos hidrocarburíferos, mineros y pesqueros, desde 1975, va a condicionar los términos de cualquier negociación o acercamiento, no solo para ese período sino para el iniciado luego de la guerra de 1982.

Objective: To evaluate long-term outcomes of mitral valve annuloplasty using an autologous pericardial strip (“soft support ring” type) and a rigid support ring in combination with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation.

Materials and methods: We carried out retrospective and prospective analyses of the treatment outcomes in 90 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic mitral regurgitation. Ischemic mitral regurgitation (grade 2 or above) was an inclusion criterion for patients with CHD. Exclusion criteria were as follows: nonischemic mitral regurgitation, acute myocardial infarction, progressive angina pectoris, and repeated heart interventions. The patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients from group 1 underwent CABG with mitral regurgitation correction using a strip of glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium (“soft support ring” type) according to our own method, whereas patients from group 2 underwent CABG with mitral regurgitation correction using a rigid support ring. The analysis revealed that the groups were comparable in all the studied parameters.

Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the number of postoperative complications and hospital mortality between the groups. According to the analyzed data obtained at the time of discharge, all the patients had grade 0-1 mitral regurgitation, which shows a complete restoration of the mitral valve function after annuloplasty. In addition, there was a statistically significant decrease in the end-diastolic volume and an increase in ejection fraction, which is a sign of reverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling. The mean follow-up was 44±7.4 months. No deaths were reported during the follow-up. The results of the examination in the long-term period did not reveal negative dynamics in most patients compared with the findings in the early postoperative period. The LV size also did not change significantly, and the ejection fraction demonstrated an upward trend. One patient in each group had a recurrence of grade 3 mitral regurgitation.

Conclusions: The immediate outcomes showed no recurrence of mitral regurgitation, a low number of intraoperative and postoperative complications, and pronounced reverse LV remodeling. We observed stable results in the long-term follow-up: only one patient in each group had a recurrence of mitral regurgitation. Reverse LV remodeling persisted throughout the follow-up. There were no significant differences between the groups in any parameter, which indicates that the developed annuloplasty method is not inferior to the traditional technique with a rigid support ring.

Introduction: The use of modern technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), in medical imaging is a current hot topic. Standardization of radiologic and ultrasound scans of the studied area is a prerequisite for implementation of this computer system. It is important to create and apply AI in ultrasound diagnosis of fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies in order to improve the quality of differential diagnosis.

Objective: To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of AI in detecting fetal CNS anomalies between 19 and 22 weeks’ gestation. Materials and methods: We conducted a multicenter 2-stage study to evaluate AI effectiveness in detecting fetal CNS anomalies between 19 and 22 weeks’ gestation. At stage I, more than 1500 pregnant women underwent sonographic examination of the fetal head in the axial plane with 5 anatomical landmarks, and we recorded a 15-second video in the MP4 format (video sequence). At stage II, we tested “Decision-Making System for Detecting Fetal Central Nervous System Anomalies” to determine its diagnostic accuracy.

Results: The diagnostic accuracy of the developed software (“Formulation of an Imaging-Based Diagnosis of Fetal Central Nervous System Anomalies”) in regard to such parameters as “normal findings” and “abnormal findings” was 78.9%. The diagnostic accuracy for formulation of a specific imaging-based diagnosis was 74.4%.

Conclusions: The AI implemented into modern ultrasound differential diagnosis of fetal CNS anomalies between 19 and 22 weeks’ gestation will make it possible to formulate an imaging-based diagnosis (“normal findings”/“abnormal findings”) with high accuracy and can be used as an additional computer technology in the primary screening of pregnant women.

Background: A pressing issue in modern purulent surgery is the growing number of microbial strains resistant to antibiotics. One of the strategies to address this issue is to develop novel wound dressings (WD) with incorporation of antiseptics that can prevent or reduce infection without conventional antibiotics.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of chitosan-based WD with immobilized antiseptics and their combinations in in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Materials and methods: We conducted a multistage randomized controlled in vitro and in vivo study investigating samples of chitosan-based WD with incorporated antiseptics (polyhexanide, octenidine dihydrochloride, povidone-iodine, and a combination of polyhexanide and octenidine) in international concentrations and diluted. The antimicrobial activity of antiseptics was evaluated in vitro by broth microdilution and disk diffusion methods. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were used as reference cultures. For in vivo experiments, we formed experimental purulent wounds of soft tissues in laboratory animals (male rats weighing 300±50 g) according to our own method and treated the wounds with the investigated WD. The dynamics of the wound process was assessed by clinical and cytological data, as well as intravital ultrasonography findings.

Results: Depending on the prolongation of time to maintain an effective concentration in the wound and minimal irritating effect on the tissue, we ranked antiseptic agents as follows: polyhexanide>octenidine>povidone-iodine. The combination of polyhexanide and octenidine did not demonstrate the expected synergistic effect; however, it had a positive therapeutic effect on the wound comparable to that of other antiseptics used alone. The comprehensive assessment of the wound process showed that WD with immobilized polyhexanide demonstrated the best wound healing and antiseptic effect. Reliable signs of wound healing with further positive dynamics were observed by day 7. It was almost 2 times faster compared with other experimental samples.

Conclusions: Chitosan is a promising material to be used as a chemically inert matrix for programmed delivery of various drugs, including antimicrobial drugs, into the wound. The studied WD with immobilized antiseptics did not demonstrate a pronounced cytotoxic and depressing effect on processes of soft tissue remodeling and, on the contrary, significantly reduced the time of wound transition to the proliferation phase.

Published: May 2024

Objectives: Interest in Mindfulness in several professions including teaching has increased. To develop the techniques and methods based on mindfulness, several research papers were carried on this topic in teaching according to a comprehensive definition that takes into account awareness, memory and retention to describe a variety of teaching practices, processes and features.
Methods: The original version of the Mindfulness in Teaching Scale (MTS) was in English. The researchers translated it into Arabic and administered it to a sample of 554 Jordanian teachers. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported a two-factor structure (teacher intrapersonal mindfulness and teacher interpersonal mindfulness) as proposed by the scale’s authors.
Results: The results have demonstrated that the Arabic version of the mindfulness in teaching scale consisting of 14 items and two subscales is valid and reliable for teachers in Arabic speaking countries. The means, standard deviations, skewness, and kurtosis of the MTS-A items were obtained. Mean and standard deviation values ​​ranged from 1.58 to 3.65 and 0.841 to 1.21, respectively, indicating a narrow dispersion in participant responses around the mean.
Conclusions:  The primary goal was to assess the MTS-A's validity and reliability among teachers in Jordan. With 9 items representing teachers' intrapersonal mindfulness and 5 items indicating teachers' interpersonal mindfulness, the 14-item two-factor CFA demonstrated that the model fit the data well. The findings show that the Arabic mindfulness in teaching scale, which consists of 14 questions and two subscales, is valid and trustworthy for use by instructors in Arabic-speaking regions.

of the method used for this evaluation depends on the accuracy of financial statements provided by firms that reflect the
activity developed. In this paper we propose an aggregated index for evaluation the financial performance, based on
11 selected financial rates. The method was applied on a sample of 82 medium-sized companies acting in the Romanian
textile sector. Textile industry is an industry with tradition and an important sector of Romanian economy, both in terms of
the contribution to gross domestic product and export growth; it has undergone in the last 20 years a difficult period of
transformation and adaptation to a changing market, but has a competitive advantage reported to the European one,
mainly due to low-cost labour force. The research results show the hierarchy of the textile firms after financial performance
score, 42.68% of firms having a score above sector average. The results are useful, especially to managers, by improving
decision making of business funding and development, forecasting the future financial performance, selecting business
partners, making profitable investments, and to financial analysts in fulfilment of business objectives
Вариации добротности в литосфере Северного Кавказа в широком диапазоне временных интервалов кода-волн

Рассмотрено соответствие результатов рассчитанных значений добротности методом огибающих кода-волн Qc для региона Северного Кавказа и теоретической модели изменения
Qc в вертикально изменяющейся модели мутности среды, предложенной А.А. Гусевым в 1995 году. Установлено, что в основном наблюдается соответствие между средними значениями Qc Северного Кавказа и предсказанной моделью А.А. Гусева. Но есть и различия, которые заключаются в том, что начиная с окна рассматриваемой коды от времени в очаге, равного 60 с, Qc перестаёт непрерывно увеличиваться и формирует плато или достигает «насыщения». Данный эффект связан с распространением сейсмических волн в мантии, где в общих потерях энергии вследствие затухания вклад рассеяния минимален за счёт вязкой и однородной структуры мантии, а доминирует внутреннее поглощение, которое имеет постоянное значение. Для более мелких зон, связанных с различным тектоническим строением, эффект «насыщения» также наблюдается, но при других значениях времён начала коды, что может быть связано с распределением неоднородностей в пространстве и их размером.
BECOMING AN IDEAL PERSON TODAY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ABDUL KARIM AL-JILI'S AND JEAN PIAGET'S THOUGHT ON THE PERFECT HUMAN
Authors: Reza Wasilul Umam
Published: May 2024

Research on Islamic studies will always continue and will continue to grow. This paper compares Abdul Karim al-Jili's and Jean Piaget's thoughts on the perfect human, especially in the tasawwuf. Al-Jili divides the levels insan kamil into three stages: al-bidayah, at-tawasuth, and al-khitam. From each step of becoming an ideal person, there is a part of the stage that humans must go through mujahadah, riyadoh, ma’rifat, mortal', musyafah, and musahadah. Meanwhile, to achieve Piaget's theory emphasizes the learning process according to the pattern of individual cognitive development stages. According to Piaget, the learning process consists of three steps: assimilation, accommodation, and equilibration. In practice, there are at least six methods applied in shaping human behavior: right ways (uswah hashanah), training and habituation, taking lessons (ibrah), advice (mau’idzah), discipline, and independence.
ACTUALIZATION OF ALI YAFIE'S ECOLOGICAL FIQH IN THE DYNAMICS OF INDONESIAN MUSLIM THOUGHT

Published: May 2024

Ecological damage is a real threat to human survival. Ecological imbalance is the leading cause of various natural disasters. Human superiority and anthropocentrism views on science, technology, and religious legitimacy are the arguments for exploiting nature. Religious regulations in the form of laws on nature conservation are urgently needed to overcome these problems. One of them is actualizing and contextualizing fiqh on environmental sustainability. Therefore, this research explores Ali Yafie's thoughts on interpreting the science of fiqh in ecological sustainability. The study uses a descriptive analysis method to analyze Yafie's ideas on the dynamics of environmental fiqh actualization in Indonesia. This article elaborates on five primary components of life (al-daruriyyat or al-kulliyat al-khams) that all humankind must adequately maintain. The five components are hifz al-nafs (protection of life), hifz al-'aql (maintaining the mind), hifz al-mal (protection of property), hifz al-nasl (maintaining posterity), and hifz al-din (maintaining religion). Yafie added that one crucial principle in the five components is hifz al-bi'ah (preserving the environment). This results from his ijtihad in preserving ecology, namely the balance of the relationship between humans and their surroundings. Yafie concluded that the law of protecting and preserving the environment is mandatory (fard al-kifayah) that will be accounted for in this life and the afterlife.

Environmental problems become humanitarian problems, such as damaged area layers, erosion, and disease outbreaks that make the ecosystem unbalanced, which will endanger humans. Meanwhile, the discussion of Islamic relations and environmental ethics has always continued to be debated, ranging from handling and solving to sustainable businesses. This paper aims to elucidate the eco-religious paradigm and implications of ecological ethics in Islamic studies, including environmental movements. The study employs the analytical descriptive literature research issue. Islamic study and environmental ethics functionally serve as a tool or media that provides insight into various approaches to comprehending the relationship between Islam and environmental ethics so as not to be trapped in the fanaticism of secularism and human arrogance in dealing with nature. This study contributes theoretically through relationship theory, inter-relationship to interaction in terms of religious and environmental ethics points of view. Also, it seeks to make practical contributions in the form of human spiritual awareness to preserve the environment as a form of constructing natural values (hablu min al-‘alam). Furthermore, environmental ethics continues to evolve, adjusting to the need to assemble harmony in the future.
BEAUTIFYING MOSQUES, ENHANCING WORSHIP: THE FIQH PERSPECTIVE OF FOUR MADHHABS AND MUHAMMAD IQBAL'S AESTHETIC CONCEPT

Muslims recognize the significance of mosques as sites of worship and as centers for their religious and other activities. Various efforts are organized and designed to make mosques relevant to cultural changes and the needs of Muslims. Mosque buildings are often not identical in each region and nation, with different customs and cultures, and are sometimes even similar to other religions. In addition, the temptation of capitalism also raises questions about mosque designs that are overly grand and problematic for the socio-economic life of the community. This article aims to interrogate whether such a well-built mosque is permissible from the perspective of scholars of the four madhhabs of fiqh and the aesthetics of Muhammad Iqbal. Thus, this research uses descriptive-interpretive and textual methods to scrutinize fiqh views and analyze Iqbal's aesthetic perspective on the mosque building. The study revealed that the four madhhabs allow decorations on mosque buildings so that the mosque remains the principal place of worship and does not inconvenience the solemnity of the congregation's prayers. Furthermore, the mosque's decoration, ornamentation, design, and construction must provide meaningful objectives with practical usefulness and philosophical value; otherwise, for Iqbal, decorating a mosque in excess is wasteful and unavailing, and embellishing a mosque means squandering time and money.

Abstract: Tooth discoloration is one of the causes of loss of aesthetic function of the teeth. The most common way to restore tooth color is bleaching. Bleaching is performed by dentists with prices that tend to be expensive; therefore, natural ingredients that are easy to obtain, safe, and at a lower price are needed. In this study, the natural ingredient to be used was virgin coconut oil (VCO). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of VCO in improving tooth color of discolored teeth. This was an experimental and laboratory study with a pretest-posttest group design. Samples were 24 first premolars divided into four treatment groups with different soaking times in VCO, namely 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 4 days. Tooth discoloration was measured using a visual method using the Vitapan shade guide. The results of One-way ANOVA test showed a p-value of 0.001 indicating that there were differences in the values of the treatment groups before and after soaking. There was a change in tooth color in each treatment group. The most color change occurred in group 4, followed by group 3, group 2. and the least color change in group 1. In conclusion, virgin coconut oil is effective in improving tooth color with discoloration due to black tea. The most color change occurred in virgin coconut oil soaking for four days. Keywords: virgin coconut oil, change of tooth color; discoloration; black tea

Lung Cancer is a disease that has a high mortality rate and is often difficult to detect until it reaches a very severe stage. Data indicates that lung cancer cases are typically diagnosed late, posing significant challenges to effective treatment. Early detection efforts offer potential for better recovery chances. Therefore, this research aims to develop methods for the identification and classification of lung cancer in the hope of providing further knowledge on effective ways to detect this condition at an early stage. One approach under scrutiny involves employing machine learning classification techniques, anticipated to serve as a pivotal tool in early disease detection and enhancing patient survival rates. This study involves five stages: data collection, data preprocessing, data partitioning for training and testing using 10-fold cross validation, model training, and analysis of evaluation results. In this research, four experiments consist of applying two classification methods, CatBoost and Random Forest, each tested using default hyperparameter and hyperparameter tuning using Bayesian Optimization. It was found that the Random Forest model using hyperparameter tuning Bayesian Optimization outperformed the other models with accuracy (0.97106), precision (0.97339), recall (0.97185), f-measure (0.97011), and AUC (0.99974) for lung cancer data. These findings highlight Bayesian Optimization for hyperparameter tuning in classification models can improve clinical prediction of lung cancer from patient medical records. The integration of Bayesian Optimization in hyperparameter tuning represents a significant step forward in refining the accuracy and effectiveness of classification models, thus contributing to the ongoing enhancement of medical diagnostics and healthcare strategies.
