MAQASHID SYARI’AH SEBAGAI EPISTEMOLOGI PENDIDIKAN PANCASILA
Authors: Ainuri Ahmad Fahri Yahya
Published: June 2020

Abstract

As Indonesian people, of course we are familiar with religious groups with transnational ideologies that are oriented towards replacing government systems with Islamic systems (Imamat / Khilafah) based on the Qur'an and Hadith. Actually there is nothing wrong with the group's vision because the khilahfah system is a product of ijtihad of the predecessor ulama and normatively does not contradict Islamic law. It's just that the effort to coerce to change the law which has become a collective agreement in a country can legally be said as an act of rebellion and the act is not constitutionally justified. To address this phenomenon, the writer wants to give an understanding that implicitly our country (Indonesia) has actually implemented laws that are in accordance with Islamic sharia because the Pancasila ideology which is used as a national and state paradigm is fully in line with the sharia maqashid as contained in the Koran 'and Hadith which fully aims to educate people to become human beings who are deified, humane, united, just manifested into a common life (social life).

Keywords: Islamic maqashid, Epistemology, Pancasila Education.

Abstrak

Sebagai masyarakat Indonesia, tentu kita tidak asing dengan adanya kelompok beragama dengan ideologi transnasional yang berorientasi mengganti sistem pemerintahan dengan sistem Islam (Imamah/Khilafah) yang berlandaskan al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Sebenarnya tidak ada yang salah dengan visi kelompok tersebut karena sistem khilahfah merupakan produk ijtihad para ulama pendahulu dan secara normatif tidak bertentangan dengan syariat Islam. Hanya saja, usaha melakukan paksaan untuk merubah undang-undang yang sudah menjadi kesepakatan bersama dalam suatu negara secara yuridis bisa dikatakan sebagai tindakan pemberontakan dan tindakan tersebut tidak dibenarkan secara konstitusional. Untuk mensikapi fenomena tersebut penulis ingin memberikan pemahaman bahwa secara implisit negara kita (Indonesia) sebenarnya sudah menerapkan undang-undang yang sesuai dengan syari’at Islam karena ideologi pancasila yang dijadikan sebagai paradigma berbangsa dan bernegara sepenuhnya sejalan dengan maqashid syariah yang tertuang dalam al-Qur’an dan Hadis yang spenuhnya bertujuan untuk mendidik masyarakat menjadi manusia yang berketuhanan, berperikemanusiaan, bersatu, adil yang termanifestasi ke dalam kehidupan bersama (kehidupan sosial).

Low Molecular Weight (poly)Phenol Metabolites Across the Blood-Brain Barrier: The Underexplored Journey
Authors: Carecho Rafael , Carregosa Diogo , dos Santos Cláudia Nunes
Published: June 2020

The world of (poly)phenols arising from dietary sources has been significantly amplified with the discovery of low molecular weight (LMW) (poly)phenol metabolites resulting from phase I and phase II metabolism and microbiota transformations. These metabolites, which are known to reach human circulation have been studied to further explore their interesting properties, especially regarding neuroprotection. Nevertheless, once in circulation, their distribution to target tissues, such as the brain, relies on their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), one of the most controlled barriers present in humans. This represents a key step of an underexplored journey towards the brain. Present review highlights the main findings related to the ability of LMW (poly)phenol metabolites to reach the brain, considering different studies: in silico, in vitro, and in vivo. The mechanisms associated with the transport of these LMW (poly)phenol metabolites across the BBB and possible transporters will be discussed. Overall, the transport of these LMW (poly)phenol metabolites is crucial to elucidate which compounds may exert direct neuroprotective effects, so it is imperative to continue dissecting their potential to cross the BBB and the mechanisms behind their permeation.
Preventing and Treating Neurological Disorders with the Flavonol Fisetin
Authors: Maher Pamela
Published: June 2020

Neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, have a significant negative impact on both patients and society at large. Since the prevalence of most of these disorders increases with age, the consequences for our aging population are only going to grow. It is now acknowledged that neurological disorders are multi-factorial involving disruptions in multiple cellular systems. While each disorder has specific initiating mechanisms and pathologies, certain common pathways appear to be involved in most, if not all, neurological disorders. Thus, it is becoming increasingly important to identify compounds that can modulate the multiple pathways that contribute to disease development or progression. One of these compounds is the flavonol fisetin. Fisetin has now been shown in preclinical models to be effective at preventing the development and/or progression of multiple neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic) and traumatic brain injury as well as to reduce age-associated changes in the brain. These beneficial effects stem from its actions on multiple pathways associated with the different neurological disorders. These actions include its well characterized anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects as well as more recently described effects on the regulated cell death oxytosis/ferroptosis pathway, the gut microbiome and its senolytic activity. Therefore, the growing body of pre-clinical data, along with fisetin’s ability to modulate a large number of pathways associated with brain dysfunction, strongly suggest that it would be worthwhile to pursue its therapeutic effects in humans.

Although DNA-sequencing is the most effective procedure to achieve a molecular diagnosis in genetic diseases, complementary RNA analyses are often required. Reverse-Transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is still a valuable option when the clinical phenotype and/or available DNA-test results address the diagnosis toward a gene of interest or when the splicing effect of a single variant needs to be assessed. We use Single-Molecule Real-Time sequencing to detect and characterize splicing defects and single nucleotide variants in well-known disease genes (DMD, NF1, TTN). After proper optimization, the procedure could be used in the diagnostic setting, simplifying the workflow of cDNA analysis.
Parkinson’s Disease Affects Functional Connectivity within the Olfactory-Trigeminal Network

Published: June 2020

Background: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is a frequent symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that appears years prior to diagnosis. Previous studies suggest that PD-related OD is different from non-parkinsonian forms of olfactory dysfunction (NPOD) as PD patients maintain trigeminal sensitivity as opposed to patients with NPOD who typically exhibit reduced trigeminal sensitivity. We hypothesize the presence of a specific alteration of functional connectivity between trigeminal and olfactory processing areas in PD. Objective: We aimed to assess potential differences in functional connectivity within the chemosensory network in 15 PD patients and compared them to 15 NPOD patients, and to 15 controls. Methods: Functional MRI scanning session included resting-state and task-related scans where participants carried out an olfactory and a trigeminal task. We compared functional connectivity, using a seed-based correlation approach, and brain network modularity of the chemosensory network. Results: PD patients had impaired functional connectivity within the chemosensory network while no such changes were observed for NPOD patients. No group differences we found in modularity of the identified networks. Both patient groups exhibited impaired connectivity when executing an olfactory task, while network modularity was significantly weaker for PD patients than both other groups. When performing a trigeminal task, no changes were found for PD patients, but NPOD patients exhibited impaired connectivity. Conversely, PD patients exhibited a significantly higher network modularity than both other groups. Conclusion: In summary, the specific pattern of functional connectivity and chemosensory network recruitment in PD-related OD may explain distinct behavioral chemosensory features in PD when compared to NPOD patients and healthy controls.
An enhanced OCT image captioning system to assist ophthalmologists in detecting and classifying eye diseases
Authors: Vellakani Sivamurugan , Pushbam Indumathi
Published: June 2020

Human eye is affected by the different eye diseases including choroidal neovascularization (CNV), diabetic macular edema (DME) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This work aims to design an artificial intelligence (AI) based clinical decision support system for eye disease detection and classification to assist the ophthalmologists more effectively detecting and classifying CNV, DME and drusen by using the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images depicting different tissues. The methodology used for designing this system involves different deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) models and long short-term memory networks (LSTM). The best image captioning model is selected after performance analysis by comparing nine different image captioning systems for assisting ophthalmologists to detect and classify eye diseases. The quantitative data analysis results obtained for the image captioning models designed using DenseNet201 with LSTM have superior performance in terms of overall accuracy of 0.969, positive predictive value of 0.972 and true-positive rate of 0.969using OCT images enhanced by the generative adversarial network (GAN). The corresponding performance values for the Xception with LSTM image captioning models are 0.969, 0.969 and 0.938, respectively. Thus, these two models yield superior performance and have potential to assist ophthalmologists in making optimal diagnostic decision.

Authors: Panda Jyochnamayi , Mishra Jyotiprakash
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Acute under-five wheezers are the most suitable group for targeting focus aimed at reducing unnecessary use of antibiotics. Viral bronchiolitis is an important cause of wheezing in under-five children. Rationality behind antibiotic usage has rarely been reported from Odisha. Aim: The aim of the present study is to look into the decision of private practitioners of Bhubaneswar, Odisha, for an antibiotic prescription to under-five wheezers. Materials and Methods: Hundred prescriptions of private practitioners for under-five patients suffering from acute wheeze were analyzed between January and June 2016. The prescriptions were grouped as with antibiotics (Group A) and without antibiotics (Group B). The groups were compared for the presence of clinical, hematological, and radiological signs and results were statistically analyzed. Result: The number of prescriptions with antibiotic inclusion is higher (67%). Antibiotics are mostly prescribed to younger patients. Antibiotic administration was significantly higher with the symptoms of fever, tachypnea, crepitation’s and leukocytosis, and X-ray findings. (p<0.05) The average recovery period was almost the same in both the groups. The prescription patterns in the present study show rational usage.

Cerebrospinal fluid C-reactive protein - A point of care test in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis
Authors: Kalpana Sivasambo , Priyadharishini Dorairaj
Published: June 2020

Background: Bacterial meningitis is a significant life-threatening illness during infancy and childhood. Delay in distinguishing bacterial from viral or other aseptic meningoencephalitis may have irrevocable consequences. A typical case of pyogenic meningitis without prior antibiotics may not create any diagnostic problems, but prior treatment with inappropriate and inadequate antibiotics may cause sufficient alteration in biochemistry and cytology of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and organisms may not get isolated from blood or CSF culture. Objective: C-reactive protein in CSF (CSF-CRP) has been reported to be one of the most reliable and early indices to differentiate bacterial from non-bacterial meningitis. This study was undertaken to evaluate the diagnostic significance of CSF- CRP as an early indicator in the differentiation of bacterial from non-bacterial meningitis. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was done in children in the age group of 1 month to 12 years who were admitted with history and clinical features suggestive of acute central nervous system infection. CSF was analyzed for macroscopic appearance, pleocytosis, proteins, and sugar content, Grams and Ziehl
The role of magnetic resonance imaging brain in estimating the burden of preventable and potentially curable epilepsy in developmentally normal children
Authors: Upadhyay Jaya , Chaudhary Prachi , Thora S
Published: June 2020

Background: Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition among children. Diagnosis of epilepsy is clinical, but to find the etiology we must depend on investigations such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) f the brain. EEG is more useful to diagnose genetic epilepsies, and MRI is more useful in structural causes. Objective: The objective of this study was to find the etiology of epilepsy prevalent in children of our region and to evaluate the role MRI brain in diagnosis. Methods: This was a survey-based study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in central India, between April 2015 and August 2016. A total of 108 developmentally normal children in the age group of 1 month to 14 years who presented withtwo or more unprovoked seizures 24 h apart or known case of epilepsy and on treatment admitted in the inpatient department for seizures were included in this study. The patients were classified based on detailed history, personal observation of seizures in some cases, thorough clinical examination, EEG recording, MRI findings, and other relevant investigations pertaining to the case, and the data were analyzed. Results: According to the ILAE 2010 classification, 12.9% of our patients had probable genetic epilepsy, 32.4% belonged to the structural metabolic group, and 54%, the largest proportion had an unknown cause. Of total 42 patientswith abnormal MRI, 30 (71.42%) patient had underlying structural or metabolic abnormality, whereas 28.57% had a genetic cause. 10 patients had imaging results suggestive of neurocysticercosis, while 7 patients had mesial temporal sclerosis. Gliosis was seen in nine patients, tuberculoma was seen in four patients, and finding suggestive of infarcts was seen in six patients. Remaining patients had abnormalities including corpus callosal agenesis (1), cortical dysplasia (2), tuberous sclerosis (1), white matter disease (1), and hippocampal hyperintensities suggestive of encephalitis (1). Conclusion: MRI brain is the most important routinely availableinvestigation and must be utilized. Neurocysticercosis is still the most common structural cause of epilepsy in children in our region.
