PENGGUNAAN MEDIA POSTER UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN MUFRADĀT DI SD MUHAMMADIYAH 1 SEDATI
Authors: Adib Fathul , Fauji Imam
Published: April 2024

In Arabic language learning, the media used only focuses on books and is not diverse, which makes students less motivated to learn Arabic and less able to understand it, especially in understanding Arabic mufrodat in class. The learning media used by researchers as a strategy to overcome the problem of low understanding among students is poster media. This study aims to determine whether there is an increase or not related to the understanding of mufrodat in the use of poster media before and after being used in the classroom in Arabic language learning. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with non-experimental designs. In this study obtained the results of the average value of pretest students 41.19 and the average value of posttest 81.83. In comparison to the average value of students, it can be seen that after being given treatment in the form of poster media, the value has increased by 40.64. The results of the paired sample test calculation using a 95% confidence level show that with a 2-tailed Sig value of 0.000 <0.05, there is a difference in pretest and posttest scores. Through these results and the value of the -t count < -t table with df = (n-1) of 62 (-36.007 < -1.998), it can be concluded that Ho is rejected, the accepted hypothesis is (Ha), and it can be concluded that "the use of poster media can improve the understanding of mufrodat of fifth grade students of SD Muhammadiyah 1 Sedati.”

Published: April 2024

Learning Arabic is a complex process that not only involves linguistic aspects, but in the context of learning Arabic, it also requires important aspects, such as the relationship between language, gender bias, and identity. Language is important because it functions as a means of communication for people in their daily lives, so learning Arabic is closely related to gender bias and language identity. This research aims to explain language, gender bias, and identity in the book Al-Arobiyyah lil Induniysiyyin. This type of research is qualitative and uses a library research approach by obtaining data from journals, books, and other sources relevant to the research. The results of this research reveal that the function of language, apart from being a means of communication, also includes self-expression, identity, and culture, as well as education and learning. An important aspect of learning Arabic is gender bias. Forms of gender bias in the book Al-Arobiyyah lil Induniysiyyin include the role of men being more dominant in terms of work, nature, and role in Arabic texts compared to the role of women. Forms of gender bias are divided into three categories: mudzakar (masculine), muanats (feminine), and functional (neutral). Apart from gender bias, another aspect is language identity. The forms of language and identity learned in Arabic can be summarized as religious identity, cultural identity, and national identity.

Published: April 2024

This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing a case study of early childhood learners at the Miftahul Ulum Panyeppen Islamic Boarding School. The research findings indicate that students who have studied the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum method and the Fathul Qorib book exhibit several advantages in vocabulary learning within the context of Arabic language education. Some of these advantages are as follows: 1. Increased responsiveness in memorizing Arabic vocabulary: Children are more adept at memorizing Arabic vocabulary as they are already familiar with it through the Fathul Qorib learning process. 2. Ease in constructing sentences with memorized vocabulary: They find it easier to construct sentences using the vocabulary they have memorized, as they have mastered the principles of Nahwu (Arabic syntax) in the Al-Miftah Lil-Ulum instruction. 3. Ability to expand memorized vocabulary: They can develop the vocabulary they have memorized because they have also mastered Sarraf (Arabic morphology) in the Al-Miftah Lil-Ulum instruction. The benefits of this research are expected to contribute to both practical and conceptual understandings of Arabic language instruction for beginner-level children in Islamic boarding schools. The implications extend to the development of more effective curricula and teaching strategies within the boarding school environment. These findings also provide a foundation for further research in Arabic language education and the success of the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum method in enhancing the Arabic language proficiency of beginner-level children.

Published: April 2024

The basis for establishing the rules and forms of Ibn Malik's thought in the science of nahwu has a distinctive character. Therefore, this study has two aims, (1) to explicitly identify the basis of Ibn Malik in establishing nahwu rules in general. (2) examine the form of Ibn Malik's thought which tends towards the Basrah flow represented in the book of Alfiyah. The approach in this research is descriptive qualitative. The research data are facts related to Ibn Malik's thoughts, lingual units contained in the Alfiyah book, and information related to his interpretation. The data sources for this study are kitabs, books, scientific journals, and relevant research. The method for providing data is by observing techniques in the form of reading data, followed by a tapping process. The analysis method used is content analysis. The results of the research show that in establishing the rules of nahwu, Ibnu Malik used a different base of thought compared to previous nahwu scholars, namely referring to hadith extensively. This is based on his intellectual journey, his expertise in studying hadith, as well as the historical factor that hadith at that time had been well translated.  As for the form of thought that tends towards the Basrah school, it is represented in one of his phenomenal books, namely Alfiyah.  In this book have found 51 problems (the most dominant quantity) that tend to be based on Basrah's thinking, both in terms of the form of rules established and the framework of thinking.

Learning Arabic at the Mirqotul Ulum Islamic boarding school has characteristics that differentiate it from other Islamic boarding schools. This is because this Islamic boarding school pays great attention to mastering Arabic vocabulary, where initially Arabic was something scary and has now turned into something fun because of the learning model. This research aims to determine the Arabic language learning model implemented at the Mirqotul Ulum Islamic boarding school so that they can master one of the skills in Arabic, in the form of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The objects studied were students and Arabic language teachers. Data analysis in this research uses qualitative descriptive analysis techniques consisting of observation, interview, and documentation stages for data collection. The results of this research show that Arabic language learning at the Mirqotul Ulum Islamic boarding school uses Bloom's Taxonomy in category LOTS (Lower Order Thinking Skills). This application has been integrated in a balanced manner through the abilities possessed by the students of the Mirqotul Ulum Islamic boarding school. In teaching Arabic, we use the method of memorizing vocabulary through trendy songs, both in the 90s and 2000s, so that we can train students to be creative and innovative, as well as create students who can master Arabic vocabulary well and correctly.

Education in Indonesia is currently competing to require the nation's children to be able to master various foreign languages, one of which is Arabic. Good mastery of Arabic needs to be based on the number of mufrodat that are mastered. This research uses qualitative research methods conducted on class VII students of SMP Qur'ani Dliyaul Qur'an Menemen as the research population. The research subjects, consisting of people, are the researchers themselves and data collectors. Data collection methods include interviews, questionnaires, field data, photos, documents, memos, and other notes. This research data was taken from 15 students. As a result of the discussion on the use of the singing method in memorizing the mufradat, the students became more enthusiastic and more active in learning Arabic and were even more unified in singing the Arabic mufradat. Without memorizing it manually, the students already memorized the mufradat with this singing method. According to Bonnie and John, there are benefits to the method. Singing helps achieve abilities in developing thinking power, helps channel emotions such as happiness or sadness through the content of song or singing lyrics, and helps add new vocabulary through song lyrics or chanting. The aim of this research is that more students will be interested in memorizing Arabic muhradat for students who are anxious and lazy. Based on the assessment of experts, the use of the singing method in memorizing mufradat is very interesting for students who are less enthusiastic about learning; therefore, the researchers used this method for SMP Qur'ani Dliyaul Qur'an.

Ensuring the safety of drugs constitutes a critical component of healthcare, focusing on the detection,
assessment, and prevention of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Antibiotics are among the most precious
and they have nite source, different from the other drugs. Antibiotics are the only drugs that do not directly affects the patients,
instead they affect the growth and ecology of the pathogens that invade and also to the commensals ora. The therapy of
antibiotics mostly depends on clinical conditions of the patients and the drug, however, it also depends on characterstics of
organisms and the resident ora. But because of improper use of antibiotics, specially the reserved antibiotics, antibiotic
resistance cases have been increasing along with serious adverse reactions while patient care. So to overcome this problems
most of the hospitals have established antimicrobial stewardship programs, to optimize the benecial effects of antibiotics as
well as minimise the negative consequences for both patients and community. The Pharmacovigilance program seeks to
involve diverse stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, pharmacists, and the public, in the reporting of ADRs.
Nevertheless, in developing nations such as India, there is a noticeable lack of public participation in reporting ADRs. The
objective of this paper is to raise awareness about drug safety and adverse drug reactions , antibiotic resistance, that are
associated with miss use of antibiotics and minimising the use of reserved antibiotics by implementing the antimicrobial
stewardship program

Authors: Farooqui Mehreen , Sant Shrikant
Published: April 2024

Introduction: C-sections are one of the surgical procedures that could leave patients in discomfort.
Maternal stress can affect physiological and behavioural health, which can have negative effects. The
postpartum period can be extremely distressing and emotionally intense. Demands for baby care and shifting social norms are
two things that are known to makes mothers more stressed.Postpartum sleep is substantially impacted because most women
prioritise childcare. Postoperative pain management that is effective and sufcient shortens hospital stays, reduces cost of
care, and hastens postoperative recovery. For these goals, non pharmacological therapies transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulation (TENS) can be employed. of TENS is a safe , non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment modality with a
wide range of clinical applicability and may be preferred as an alternative method in pain control in postpartum. Participants:
All patients from Inpatient Department were included in the study who met the inclusion criteria. The sample size was
calculated by online website (calculator.net) and was 28. Materials And Methods: We administered the PSFS (Patient Specic
Functional Scale), HPSS (Hung postpartum stress scale), AIS (Athens Insomnia Scale.) questionnaires on rst day of data
collection followed by application of TENS with pre-designed protocol and repeated on second and third day.
Results: The score of PSFS was increased by 36.12%
The score of HPSS was increased by 5.9%
The score of AIS was increased by -6.07%
Discussion: TENS could be used as integral part of regular Physiotherapy management in post-partum patients which will not
only reduce pain but also, improves associated factors and eventually quality of life of patients. Conclusion: Based on the data
collected from the samples application of TENS increases functional independence, reduces the stress and anxiety and
improves sleep quality in post-partum patients.

hormone. Ponderal Index (PI) is one of the anthropometric methods used to diagnose impaired fetal growth. PI is low in
malnourished infants and high in obese ones . the purpose of this study was to examine the association of birth weight of
newborn and Ponderal index with maternal and cord blood TSH levels. Material and Method- The study was conducted on 100
postpartum females fullling the inclusion criteria and their neonates enrolled in Zanana Hospital attached to S.M.S. Hospital,
Jaipur. After obtaining their informed written consent, detailed history was taken and blood sample was drawn,Cord Blood
samples were also taken . Birth weight and ponderal Index of newborn were assessed .TSH was analysed and data was
evaluated statistiacally . Result and Discussion: A signicant positive correlation was observed between maternal and cord
blood TSH levels.A negative correlation was observed between maternal TSH & Cord blood TSH levels with birth weight and
ponderal index of newborns though it was statistically non-signicant. Conclusion- For healthy weight babies proper antenatal
screening of mothers for thyroid function should be done.

Dentigerous cyst is one of the most common odontogenic cyst encountered in the maxillofacial region.
They are more frequent in males and although most often affected teeth are maxillary canines and
mandibular third molars, they may also be related with supernumerary or an unerupted tooth. Rarely dentigerous cysts present
with a grotesque dimension, here we report a rare case of dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted right anterior maxillary
canine. A 20 year old male patient was referred to the department of Oral Medicine and Radiology with the complaint of a
painful swelling over the right cheek region since the past 3 years. All the permanent teeth were present except the right
maxillary canine. External examination showed that the face was gently asymmetrical; levels of eye globes were abnormal.
Radiographic examination revealed an expansile unilocular cystic lesion with smooth corticated borders which was located on
the roof of the right maxillary sinus. The patient's symptoms were resolved completely after surgery. To avoid unwanted effects of
a dentigerous cyst, unerupted tooth should be observed with radiographic imaging. Some untreated dentigerous cysts may
become large and have a potential to develop into an odontogenic tumor.

This case report details the clinical presentation, diagnostic journey, and management of a middle-aged
male, aged 40, who sought medical attention in October 2023 for elevated blood pressure and left lumbar
pain. Radiological investigation, including non-contrast and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), unveiled left renal
artery stenosis attributed to bromuscular dysplasia. Subsequent evaluations by urologists and vascular surgeons delineated
sub-occluded arterial branches and ischemic changes in the left renal parenchyma. The patient was discharged with directives
for regular home monitoring, adherence to a salt-water regimen, and recurring ultrasonography of abdominal aorta and renal
arteries every 6 months. Consultations with urologists and neurologists were strongly recommended, underscoring the
importance of a multidisciplinary approach and diligent monitoring in the continuum of healthcare management. This case
emphasizes the signicance of timely diagnosis and tailored intervention in managing bromuscular dysplasia-associated
hypertension.

The objective of the study is to develop simple, accurate and precise analytical method for the estimation
of sucralose, which is used as an articial sweetener. The method was developed using UV-Visible
spectrophotometer. UV-Visible spectrophotometric method using calibration curve, was established for the estimation. The
developed method were validated according to ICH guidelines. The purity of drug was checked by using FTIR spectroscopy.
Sucralose show better solubility in methanol. Sucralose is estimated using Romini's reagent which is a mixture of sodium
nitroprusside, ZnCl2 and acetone. Romini's reagent in reaction with sucralose produces a compound which has max at
291.5nm. This method showed linearity within the range of 2-24µg/ml. Correlation coefcient was found to be 0.9995.The
developed method were validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, intra-day and inter- day precision, limit of detection and
limit of quantication. The method is simple, linear, precise, accurate and suitable for the estimation of sucralose. In conclusion,
using these developed analytical method, analysis of the sucralose can be done accurately in a short time with low cost and
without prior extraction.

Background: Clinically cutaneous vasculitis can present with a panoply of morphologies which include
urticaria, purpura, hemorrhagic vesicles, ulcers, nodules, livedo, infarcts, and/ or digital gangrene. The
classication of cutaneous vasculitis is best approached morphologically by determining vessel size and principal
inammatory response. These histological ndings when coupled with direct immunouorescence examination,
Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA) status and ndings from work-up for systemic disease, allow for specic
diagnosis, and ultimately, more effective therapy. A prospective observational study was conducted wh Methods: ich included
50 patients for a duration of 18 months. The demographic data like age, sex and detailed clinical history like site, size,
morphology, duration of lesion, signicant medical history, investigations and clinical diagnosis were noted. The
histopathological examination of skin biopsy was done on Hematoxylin and Eosin (H and E) stains and Periodic acid-Schiff
(PAS ) stain in a few cases. Out of 50 cases, majority of the patients were in the age group of 21-30 Results: years and male to
female ratio was 1.08:1. Most common site of lesion was lower extremities seen in 88% of patients. On histopathological
examination, most common type of vasculitis found was leukocytoclastic vasculitis (74%), followed by lymphocytic vasculitis
(18%), granulomatous vasculitis (6%) and 1 case of eosinophilic vasculitis (2%). The histopathologic Conclusion: al
examination of skin biopsy plays a valuable role in the process of arriving at the nal diagnosis, knowing the severity of the
lesion and conrming the clinical diagnosis of cutaneous vasculitis.
THROMBOCYTOPENIA IN PREGNANCY: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
Authors: Jamaica Diaz Juana Carolina
Published: April 2024

Thrombocytopenia is a common hematologic disorder in pregnancy, presenting challenges in both
diagnosis and management. This comprehensive review aims to provide an overview of
thrombocytopenia in pregnancy, including its denition, etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies. Thrombocytopenia
is dened as a platelet count <150,000/microL and can be caused by a variety of factors, including gestational
thrombocytopenia, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and preeclampsia. Accurate diagnosis is essential to guide
appropriate management, which may include close monitoring of platelet counts, treatment with corticosteroids or intravenous
immunoglobulin, and, in severe cases, platelet transfusions. The optimal management approach depends on the underlying
cause of thrombocytopenia, as well as the patient's clinical presentation and gestational age. Collaboration among
obstetricians, hematologists, and other specialists is crucial for the comprehensive care of pregnant women with
thrombocytopenia. Overall, with careful monitoring and appropriate management, most women with thrombocytopenia can
have successful pregnancies and deliveries. Further research is needed to improve our understanding of thrombocytopenia in
pregnancy and to optimize management strategies for affected women.

Background- Eclampsia is a well-known complication of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. It's a
common cause of maternal death in countries like India. Magnesium sulphate is the anticonvulsant of
choice and can be administered by either intramuscular or intravenous route. The Pritchard regimen has been formulated as
per women of western countries for intramuscular administration.. The Indian women on the contrary have low BMI & hence are
at a greater risk of toxicity of magnesium sulphate Methodology- The study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from
October 2015 to September 2016 in Purulia on 86 eclamptic mothers who were randomized into two groups. Group 'A'(low dose
group: A loading dose of 3gm of magnesium sulphate intravenously plus 5 gm intramuscularly 2.5 gm in each buttock followed
by maintenance dose of 5gm i.m. [ 2. 5 gm i.m. alternate buttock] every four hours) or Group' B'(standard Pritchard regimen:
loading dose of 4gm iv plus 10 gm i.m [5 gm.in each buttock] followed by maintenance dose of 10gm i.m [5 gm in alternate
buttock] for every four hours .Toxicity was monitored clinically before administering maintenance dose of Magnesium
Sulphate. Data was analyzed and entered in Microsoft Excel. Results- 90% of patients were primigravidas in low dose group
and 83.72% patients in standard dose group..80.23 % had 1 to 3 convulsions. Recurrence of convulsion the primary outcome of
our study was observed in 4.65% in low dose group as compared to 6.98% in standard Pritchard regimen group. Perinatal
mortality was 25.58 % in the low dose group and 34.88% in the standard dose group. Conclusion- Low dose regimen has
comparable efcacy in convulsion control in women with eclampsia.
