Authors: Syafuri H. B.
Published: December 2016

The Legal Epistemology of Fatwa of MUI Lebak about Getting a Ride (Berboncengan) with Non- Mahram. The method of Islamic lawmaking (istinbath) is the study of the basic sources and the methods of Mujtahids to produce Islamic law, either by using words (lafzh) or meaning approach. Istinbath method with lafzh approach is by searching statement (nash) in the Qur’an and Hadith and using rules of ushûliyyah. On the other hand, istinbath method with meaning approach is by searching legal purposes (maqasid al-shari’ah) and using qiyas. Riding together between men and women not mahram in Islam according to MUI Lebak is forbidden (haram) based on the Qur’an Surah al-Nur verses 30-31 and Surah al-Isra verse 32, Hadith No. Muslim 1280, and sadd al-dzari’ah.DOI: 10.15408/ajis.v16i2.4451

Syûrâ dan Fenomena Pemilihan Kepala Daerah di Indonesia
Authors: Hasanah Neneng
Published: December 2016

Shura and the Phenomenon of Local Elections in Indonesia. Shura and the elections are social institutions in the political arena in Indonesia. In Islam, choosing a leader is a necessity. Direct election is a mechanism that has been exemplified by the Companions of the Prophet, for instance, when choosing Abu Bakr R.A. as the leader of the Muslims after the Prophet passed away. There was no will for this election. Based on divine guidance and the instinct of the Companions about Abu Bakr’s personality, Muslims did shura and directly selected Abu Bakr to be the first Caliph.DOI: 10.15408/ajis.v16i2.4454

The system paradigm revisited
Authors: Kornai János
Published: December 2016

The term paradigm was introduced to the philosophy of science by Thomas Kuhn — he used this term to denote the specific approach applied by a school of reasearch to examine its subject matter. Researchers using the same paradigm seek answers to similar questions, and employ similar methods and concepts. In an article published in 2000, the author of this essay introduced the term system paradigm, which focuses on the systems functioning in a society. This study develops the theoretical considerations outlined in that earlier article on the basis of experience on post-socialist transition. The first part compares the socialist and capitalist systems, describing their main characteristics, and concludes that the capitalist system has become established in former socialist countries, except for North Korea and Cuba. The second part analyzes varieties of capitalism within a typology which classifies prevailing forms of politics and government. Three markedly different types are identified: democracy, autocracy, and dictatorship. Huntington wrote about the “third wave” of democratization. This study concludes the third wave has dried up: for the 47 post-socialist countries, only a tenth of the population live in democracy, while autocracy or dictatorship prevails in all other countries in this group. The third part of this essay applies the conceptual and analytical apparatus to Hungary, where capitalism exists, and autocracy is the prevailing politico-governmental form — here we can find important characteristics common to other capitalist countries or other autocracies. This finding is compatible with the observation that there are some, less fundamental, characteristics unique to Hungary, or “Hungarica”, which differ from the characteristics of all other countries.1
Export specialisation and output synchronisation in the euro area: The case of Southern countries
Authors: Gouveia Sofia Helena
Published: December 2016

Business cycle synchronisation and the similarity in the sectoral structure of exports are key conditions for the successful implementation of common monetary policy, as shown by the theory of Optimum Currency Areas. This paper examines the degree of correlation between the aggregate euro area and 12 member states’ business cycles and the role of their exports specialisation dynamics vis-à-vis the euro area over the period 1981–2012, focusing in particular on Southern European countries. Overall, we find that since the inception of the European Monetary Union, the business cycles of euro area member states have been increasingly synchronised with the aggregate euro area cycle, with the exception of Greece. We also document that changes in the Greek, Portuguese, and Spanish export structures brought these countries closer to the euro area structure as a whole. Furthermore, we find a positive and significant relationship between the similarity of export structures and GDP cyclical correlations.
Openness and the strength of monetary transmission: International evidence
Authors: Ćorić Bruno , Malešević Perović Lena , Šimić Vladimir
Published: December 2016

This study explores cross-country variations in the size of the effects of a monetary policy shock on output using the sample of 48 developed and developing countries. The structural vector autoregression model is used to estimate monetary policy effects for each country separately. Based on the estimated impulse responses, we construct a measure of the short-run monetary policy effect on output, which is used as the dependent variable in a cross-country regression. Our results suggest that the effects of monetary policy shock on output are significantly influenced by trade openness, exchange rate regime, correlation with the US and for European countries with the German economy, and the development of the banking sector.
Technical efficiency and total factor productivity in the Kazakh banking industry
Authors: Kasman Adnan , Mekenbayeva Kamila
Published: December 2016

This paper investigates the technical efficiency and productivity of Kazakh commercial banks over the period 2000–2013. Non-parametric approaches, namely the Data Envelopment Analysis and the Malmquist index are employed to calculate technical efficiency and productivity. In addition, a second-stage regression is also estimated to identify the determinants of efficiency. The results indicate that banks in Kazakhstan operate below their optimum levels, with larger banks being more efficient than smaller ones. The results also indicate the presence of economies of scale for banks of all sizes. The efficiency of banks is found to be significantly and positively related to profitability, capitalisation, bank size, and liquidity. The results further indicate that Kazakh banks seem to have experienced a significant productivity growth over the sample period.
Az egészségértés gyakorlati mérése Magyarországon és nemzetközi összehasonlításban
Authors: Koltai Júlia , Kun Eszter
Published: December 2016

Introduction: The study presents results of an innovative measurement of practical health literacy in international context. Aim: To show the level of practical health literacy in the Hungarian society and in international comparison. Method: We measured practical health literacy with Newest Vital Sign test on a Hungarian national representative sample, asked from 1008 persons, between May and June, 2015 from population 16 years or older, using methodological standards of Eurobarometer. The sample is representative to the above mentioned population by gender, age, region and settlement-size. Results: Based on Newest Vital Sign test, members of the Hungarian society have good practical health literacy. The accomplishment is inconsistent with self-reported health literacy, since it shows weak results. Conclusions: As low level of self-reported health literacy implies that respondents don’t have daily routine in practicing their skills, we could draw people’s attention to food-information, that are important and show, how to utilize them.

Published: December 2016

Introduction: Cryosclerosis was introduced by Milleret and Le Pivert in the 1980s. Method: A prospective non-randomized comparative study has been performed on initial 96 patients. 48 patients were treated by cryosclerosis and the others received conventional stripping. 52 cases were analyzed for 2-years. The primary end-point of the study was to determine the occlusion rate of cryosclerosis. The clinical failure, the improvement in the Clinical Etiologic Anatomic Pathophysiologic classification and Venous Clinical Severity Scores were analyzed as secondary outcome. Results: Total recanalization of the great saphenous vein causing clinical failure was observed in one case (4%). The reopening of the great saphenous vein was observed in 4 limbs (15%) that did not cause the incompetence of the trunk. The occlusion rate was 81%. Recurrent varicosity was observed by 35% and 42% of the patients in the cryosclerosis and stripping groups respectively. There was no significant difference between the groups (log rank test, p = 0.391). There was significant improvement in both the Clinical Etiologic Anatomic Pathophysiologic classification and Venous Clinical Severity Scores in each group without remarkable differences observed between the groups either at baseline or on the mid-term. Conclusions: Cryosclerosis seems to be effective in the remodeling of the great saphenous vein. The method has no remarkable mid-term clinical advantages over classical stripping so far. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(50), 1994–2001.

Published: December 2016

The composition and spatial distribution of mesozooplankton of Nuevo Gulf, Argentina, were analyzed from surface samples taken on July, 1997. A total of 32 taxa were recorded. The highest abundances were found close to Nueva Bay, which is located nearby a growing urban population, whereas the lowest values were detected in the center of the gulf. Holoplankton dominated at all stations and evidenced a homogeneous spatial distribution. Meroplankton showed a more heterogeneous pattern. Ctenocalanus vanus was the most abundant taxon followed by Paracalanus parvus. Gastropoda veligers dominated the meroplanktonic fraction. Our results showed that the spatial distribution of the mesozooplankton seemed to be mainly influenced by the dominant hydrological circulation pattern of the region. This research establishes the first scientific basis for further studies in zooplankton communities of this important gulf, closely related to a natural protected worldwide known area declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.

Authors: Saavedra-Rodríguez Carlos A. , Rojas-Díaz Vladimir
Published: December 2016

The Calima River Basin is part of the Chocó Biogeográfico Ecoregion in the Pacific Coast of Colombia. Here, we compile a bat species checklist recorded for the Basin and describe the bat diversity patterns found in the mid-Calima Basin (the gradient from 300 – 1,400 m a.s.l.). The checklist comprises 55 bat species for the Basin. In the mid-Calima, 31 bat species occur (permanently or seasonally). Our results show complementary diversity patterns of bat assemblages living below and above 1,000 m. We also identified an overlap zone between 800 – 1,200 m a.s.l. where at least three pairs of sister species coexists. The sampled area is located where the Chocó and the Andes biogeographical regions are connected. The Calima River Basin has high bat richness, high variation in species composition along the elevational gradient, and harbours threatened and endemic species, highlighting its importance for conservation.
Checklist of angiosperms from the Pedra Furada Municipal Park, northeastern Brazil
Authors: Gomes Polyhanna , Costa Keyla Cristina Carvalho , Rodal Maria Jesus Nogueira , Alves Marccus
Published: December 2016

Due to the scarcity of data on the biotic diversity of rocky outcrops, this work presents the checklist of flowering plants (angiosperms) from the Pedra Furada Municipal Park (8°34’30” S, 36°52’45” W; 3 ha), in the northeast region of Brazil. Random samples were carried out from Jan-Dec 1998 and 2004-2009, totaling 125 species and 44 families. Fabaceae (14 spp.), Euphorbiaceae (13), Convolvulaceae (10), Cyperaceae (7), Apocynaceae (6), Cactaceae (6) and Bromeliaceae (5) comprise about 50% of the species. Due to variations in the rock slope and soil depth, the plants are distributed throughout three environments: slopes (65 species), plateaus (39) and escarpments (5), with some of them occurring both in plateaus and slopes (17). Among the species of the park, some are endemic to the caatinga (e.g. Piptadenia stipulacea and Maytenus rigida), and others are restricted to rocky outcrop areas (Ameroglossum pernambucense and Pithecoseris pacourinoides), providing evidence of the park’s relevance to the preservation of the local flora.

Published: December 2016

The ichthyofaunistic studies from the Tocantins-Araguaia River Basin are mainly concentrated in the main channel of the Araguaia and Tocantins rivers, due to faunal studies required for hydroelectric projects. Brooks and streams are usually neglected, though they represent the habitats most threatened by human activities. These small water courses present a great diversity of fishes, and they also have high rates of endemic species. The study was conducted from December 2009 to January 2010. For the inventory, the methodology used was the Rapid Assessment Program (RAP). In each sampled area three types of data collection were utilized: open interviews with local fishermen, naked eye fish surveying, and fishing with cast nets and gill nets. This study aimed to identify the main fish species that occur in the Mutum and Caba Saco streams, that form the Pau D’Arco River, and in the Carrapato Stream that flows to the Preto River, both belonging to the Araguaia River Basin.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the frequency of hypoparathyroidism and of its recurrence after parathyroidectomy in dialysis patients according to different existing classifications. Methods: we conducted a retrospective study of 107 consecutive dialysis patients undergoing total parathyroidectomy with immediate autograft in a tertiary hospital from 2006 to 2010. We studied the changes in PTH levels in the postoperative period over time. Were grouped patients according to different PTH levels targets recommended according to the dosage method and by the American and Japanese Nephrology Societies, and by an International Experts Consortium. Results: after parathyroidectomy, there was sustained reduction in serum calcium and phosphatemia. The median value of PTH decreased from 1904pg/ml to 55pg/ml in 12 months. Depending on the considered target level, the proportion of patients below the target ranged between 17% and 87%. On the other hand, the proportion of patients with levels above the target ranged from 3% to 37%. Conclusion: the application of different recommendations for PTH levels after parathyroidectomy in dialysis patients may lead to incorrect classifications of hypoparathyroidism or recurrent hyperparathyroidism and resultin discordant therapeutic conducts.

ABSTRACT Splenic artery aneurysms - the most common visceral artery aneurysms - are found most often in multiparous women and in patients with portal hypertension. Indications for treatment of splenic artery aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm include specific symptoms, female gender and childbearing age, presence of portal hypertension, planned liver transplantation, a pseudoaneurysm of any size, and an aneurysm with a diameter of more than 2.5cm. Historically, the treatment of splenic artery aneurysm has been surgical ligation of the splenic artery, ligation of the aneurysm, or aneurysmectomy with or without splenectomy, depending on the aneurysm location. There are other percutaneous interventional techniques. The authors present a case of a splenic artery aneurysm in a 51-year-old woman, detected incidentally.

ABSTRACT Objective: to study the profile of victims of kidney trauma who underwent surgical and medical treatment in a hospital in Curitiba. Methods: we conducted a retrospective, analytical, quantitative, cross-sectional study of patients with renal trauma admitted to the Evangelical Hospital of Curitiba between February 2011 and January 2014. Results: participated in the study 38 patients, four women and 34, men with a mean age of 28.4 years. Most injuries (60.5%) was due to closed mechanisms, especially motorcycle accidents. Injuries were treated conservatively in most cases. Patients who required surgical treatment had severe kidney damage or some other associated lesion, usually intra-abdominal. Hospital stay was lower in the conservative treatment group (10.8 days) compared with the surgical treatment one (18.8 days); mortality was also lower in the conservative treatment group (8.3%) compared with the surgical (14.3%). There were no deaths associated to kidney damage itself. Conclusion: patients with renal trauma in this study were young men, victims of motorcycle accidents, taking place during the night and early morning. Most injuries were treated conservatively.

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the severity of obesity in children and adolescents through the presence of comorbidities and the potential indication of bariatric surgery. Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional study with clinical and laboratory data of the first consultation of patients at the childhood obesity clinic at a tertiary hospital from 2005 to 2013. We divided the patients into groups with or without potential indication for surgery, and recorded age, gender, birth weight, age of obesity onset, BMI Z score, presence of acanthosis nigricans, blood pressure, total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides, blood glucose and fasting insulin, HOMA1-IR, CRP and ESR. The group with potential indication for surgery included: BMI > 40 or between 35-40 with comorbidities (Triglycerides >130mg/dl, glucose levels >100mg/dl, HOMA1-IR >3.16, Total Cholesterol >200mg/dl, LDL >130mg/dl and HDL <45mg/dl), regardless of age, epiphysis consolidation and previous treatment. Results: of the 296 patients included in the study, 282 (95.3%) were younger than 16 years. The most frequent change was the HDL (63.2%), followed by HOMA1-IR (37.5%). Of the group of 66 patients with potential indication for surgery (22.3%), only ten (15.1%) had more than 16 years. Acanthosis nigricans, the average HOMA1-IR, insulin, CRP, ESR, age, BMI Z score and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significant in the group with potential surgical indication. Conclusion: bariatric surgery might be indicated by BMI and comorbidities in children and adolescents under 16 years.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the epidemiological profile and mortality associated with the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) in trauma victims treated at a university hospital. Methods: we conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional study of trauma protocols (prospectively collected) from December 2013 to February 2014, including trauma victims admitted in the emergency room of the Cajuru University Hospital. We set up three groups: (G1) penetrating trauma to the abdomen and chest, (G2) blunt trauma to the abdomen and chest, and (G3) traumatic brain injury. The variables we analyzed were: gender, age, day of week, mechanism of injury, type of transportation, RTS, hospitalization time and mortality. Results: we analyzed 200 patients, with a mean age of 36.42 ± 17.63 years, and 73.5% were male. The mean age was significantly lower in G1 than in the other groups (p <0.001). Most (40%) of the visits occurred on weekends and the most common pre-hospital transport service (58%) was the SIATE (Emergency Trauma Care Integrated Service). The hospital stay was significantly higher in G1 compared with the other groups (p <0.01). Regarding mortality, there were 12%, 1.35% and 3.95% of deaths in G1, G2 and G3, respectively. The median RTS among the deaths was 5.49, 7.84 and 1.16, respectively, for the three groups. Conclusion: the majority of patients were young men. RTS was effective in predicting mortality in traumatic brain injury, however failing to predict it in patients suffering from blunt and penetrating trauma.

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the intensity of reflex sweating with the degree of anxiety and its interference in the quality of life of patients undergoing Thoracoscopic (VATS) sympathectomy in the pre- and postoperative period. Methods: we evaluated 54 patients with a mean age of 26 years (16-49 years) undergoing sympathectomy in the R3-R4 level. We applied two questionnaires at three different times: "Quality of life in patients with primary hyperhidrosis" and "Scale for anxiety and depression". Results: of the patients studied, 93% showed significant improvement in quality of life 30 days after surgery, the effects remaining after six months. There were no postoperative complications. The patient's level of anxiety is highly correlated with the intensity of reflex sweating after 30 and 180 days. Conclusion: Thoracoscopic sympathectomy improves quality of life of patients with primary hyperhidrosis, even with the emergence of reflex sweating. Anxiety directly relates to the intensity of reflex sweating, without compromising the degree of patient satisfaction.

Abstract Although endodontic treatment is widely recommended for compromised dental pulp, there is no information regarding the factors associated with failures in primary teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival and factors associated with failure of pulpectomies performed in primary teeth by dental students. The sample comprised patients treated at a University Dental Service and required endodontic treatment in primary teeth. The study investigated treatment-related variables and patient factors potentially associated with treatment failure. Pulpectomy survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier estimator followed by log-rank test (p<0.05). The analysis included 81 pulpectomies performed in 62 children (5.6±1.5 years). The survival reached 62.9% up to 12 months follow-up. Most failures occurred in the first 3 months (p<0.001). Teeth with carious lesions at the start of treatment presented more failures than those with restorations or history of trauma (p=0.002). The survival of endodontically treated teeth restored with composite was higher than the ones filled with GIC (p=0.006). Pulpectomy performed in two or more sessions resulted in more failures (p=0.028). Patients presenting gingivitis had more failures in the endodontic treatment (p=0.022). The failures of root canal treatment in primary teeth were more prone to occur in a short time and when the treatment was performed in teeth presenting carious lesions. The use of composite instead of GIC increased the survival of pulpectomies. Repeated sessions for endodontic treatment and lack of oral hygiene habits had a negative effect on the results.

Abstract Sonic vibrations may improve the bond strength and durability of fiberglass posts by improving adhesive penetration into dentin as well as the cement flow. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sonic vibrations on the bond strength between fiberglass posts and root dentin using the pull-out test. Bovine roots were endodontically treated and divided randomly into four groups (n=12): Group C - conventional cementation (control); Group SA - sonic vibration (Smart Sonic Device, FGM) of the adhesive system and conventional post accommodation; SP group - conventional adhesive application and sonic vibration of the post during accommodation; and SASP - sonic vibration of the system adhesive and the post during accommodation. The posts were cleaned, treated with a silane and adhesive system (Ambar, FGM), and cemented with a dual-cured resin cement (Allcem Core, FGM). After 24 h, the specimens were subjected to mechanical tests and failure analyses. Representative specimens were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope to observe the cementation line. The results were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test (a=5%). The bond strengths were as follows: SASP (90.9±27.1 N), C (121.4±60.6 N), SA (127.6±31.8 N) and SP (156.4±41.3 N). The use of sonic vibrations during the application of adhesive or post cementation separately did not affect the bond strength but had a negative effect when used for both procedures.
