Cancer is a type of disease that exists as a result of a cell imbalance or caused by a negative cell reaction in the body. Normally, body cells will go through the cell replacement process according to its rules to improve, restore and replace new cells if there is an injury or wound. This cancer disease has rarely occurred in the community since 4500 BC, therefore this study will increase knowledge and input about the signs of cancer and general ideas related to treatment methods and prevention of cancer infection. There are 100 types of cancer that have been stated by earlier Islamic scientists in the books of Tibb and also in the hadith by using various words that indicate 'cancer' such as tumor, boil and so on. Although there are many past studies that debate about cancer in various aspects, this study analyzes cancer from the point of view of the hadith recommended by the Prophet SAW. By applying the method of content analysis contained inductively and deductively that focusing on the book of hadith al-Sahihain which is the book of Sahih al-Bukhari and the book of Sahih Muslim and theirs syarah, then this study has achieved three main objectives namely; i) identify the names and records of cancer recorded in the hadith, ii) study the signs of cancer as recorded in the text of the hadith, iii) analyze the treatment methods recommended by the Prophet SAW. The results of this study will be more suggestive to the current community that started to practice and take the treatment recommended by the Prophet SAW to cure a disease especially cancer.
Kempen ‘Semak Ḥadīth Sebelum Sebar’ Antara Tradisi Ahli Ḥadīth Dan Dakyah ‘Wahabi’
Authors: Hasin Hanaffie
Published: November 2023

The Noble Qur'an and ḥadīth are two main sources of revelation that serve as crucial pillars for the Islamic faith. However, there are several significant differences between these two sources of revelation. The most notable difference lies in terms of thubūt (the authenticity of the transmission of the revelation to its source). Unlike the Noble Qur'an, which has reached the Muslim community through mutawātir (mass-transmitted) chains of narration, the majority of ḥadīth have been transmitted to Muslims through āḥād (singularly transmitted) chains, which are open to criticism regarding their authenticity (ṣādiq) or falsehood (kāzib) in their transmission to the original source, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Scholars from various fields, such as muḥaddithūn (ḥadīth scholars), fuqahā’ (jurists), and uṣūliyyūn (theologians), have laid down various criteria for evaluating the acceptance of a ḥadīth (maqbūl). If a ḥadīth fails to meet any of the established criteria, it is deemed rejected (mardūd). Given the reality that a ḥadīth could be true or false in its attribution to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), many contemporary ḥadīth researchers in Malaysia have launched the campaign 'Check the Ḥadīth Before Spreading.' On the surface, this campaign is commendable and in line with the tradition of ḥadīth scholars who have always emphasized the importance of verifying the status of ḥadīth before accepting or disseminating them. However, there are some who seemingly do not support this campaign and even argue that it is a 'Wahabi' propaganda in Malaysia, attempting to surpass the wisdom of past ḥadīth scholars who never engaged in such a campaign. This reaction has sparked controversy within the discourse of contemporary ḥadīth studies in Malaysia. This paper aims to unravel these issues and shed light on the status of this campaign according to the principles and methodologies of knowledge within the tradition of Islamic ḥadīth studies.

Social media interactions are more widespread in the digital world than conventional social interactions that take place physically and are limited to small groups of people. Although various social media applications have made people’s lives easier, on the other hand, they also cause users to engage in interactions that are free to violate boundaries, resulting in negative phenomena and harming other users. Religion should play an important role in digital social interactions on social media, just as it does in conventional social interactions. Prophet Muhammad SAW is the best example for social media interaction. This paper examines the problem of social media misconduct and presents a general guide to digital interaction, especially in the use of social media, with reference to several hadiths with the theme of Prophetic communication as the main reference. This research involves qualitative data through literature review by examining research documents and reports related to social media. Thematic analysis or mawḍū‘ī is done by collecting some selected hadith that have the theme of communication. The general guide for social media interaction that was developed is not only focused on worldly factors and implications, but also has a spiritual dimension by referring to Prophetic communication and following religious recommendations that emphasize the concept of Hablu min al-Nas. It is hoped that this guide can be used for social media interactions that indirectly create a safe social networking environment.

The rapid development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has brought significant changes to the information-seeking paradigm among users. This change is observed from the print-based information seeking paradigm to web-based sources seeking. As a result, many parties are giving the creation of digital information priority over conventional information. In the field of Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), a plethora of digital information has been provided by various parties. Such data, commonly found in various applications, is typically accessed from prepared databases. But the majority of the applications are in other languages. Few Hadith-related applications provide complete data and presentations created in the Malay language. This absence is due to various factors, including a lack of funding, human resources, expertise, and others. This study attempts to discuss the challenges faced by the i-Status Hadith group of USIM (Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia) who are attempting to build a complete Hadith database for digital data purposes. This case study will attempt to examine the problems they encounter and explore potential solutions for resolution.

Hadith is the premier source in Islam after the Quran. It is a supporter, reinforcer and mubayyin of the verses of the Quran as well as the support of Islamic jurisprudence. However, the traditional hadith learning nature required a long time to find and refer to hadith books either physically or virtually. The world changes towards the era of digitization or the era of media technology, teaching and learning aids in Islamic studies have innovated several interactive, flexible and effective mediums, especially to find reference sources such as Maktabah Syamilah software. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the use of Maktabah Syamilah software in increasing students' interest in learning hadith. This study uses a survey based on a set of questionnaire instruments of data collection method that has been distributed to 132 final year students, Faculty of Quran and Sunnah Studies, USIM. The results show that the usage of Maktabah Syamilah software can increase students' interest in learning hadith because it very friendly usage. In conclusion, the use of technology in learning could support and help students to improve in mastering their studies.
Systematic Literature Review On The Ontology Representation Related The Hadith Corpus

Published: November 2023

Studies on hadith have received a lot of attention since, for Muslims, they serve as a secondary source to the Quran. Although the sanad is a primary area of interest in hadith study, understanding the hadith's content requires knowledge of its matan as well. Ontology, one of the philosophical sciences of knowing, is a study that refers to the reality being investigated. According to this paradigm's ontology, the hadith text is centred and in a normative state. Researchers have attempted to construct ontology based on Islamic knowledge including the Quran, hadith, and others after realising that ontology can reflect a clear form of knowledge or repository that is standard and straightforward. The purpose of this article is to conduct an organised review of the literature on the conception of ontology and hadith corpus. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) paradigm was followed during the systematic literature review (SLR) authoring process. By making use of earlier studies, this work adds knowledge and a clear understanding to the conception of ontology and the hadith corpus.

Authors: Torres Tello Julio
Published: November 2023

Introducción.  La Inteligencia Artificial ha logrado un gran éxito en los últimos años, y aunque las aplicaciones comercialmente rentables compiten actualmente con los humanos en términos de precisión y eficiencia, hay otras áreas que podrían beneficiarse de estas tecnologías y en las cuales aún existen obstáculos por superar. Uno de los aspectos importantes de este estudio, es que estos resultados nos permiten comprender de mejor manera las limitaciones relacionadas al uso de datos atípicos en modelos de IA. Esto puede permitir el desarrollo de herramientas para implementar modelos más pequeños, rápidos, y eficientes con aplicaciones en la agricultura, y otras áreas que utilicen imágenes multiespectrales. Objetivo. Se busca proponer un esquema en el cual datos de fuentes no convencionales y relacionadas a la agricultura, son analizados por modelos personalizados de IA a fin de generar predicciones sobre variables medidas en el campo, y que eventualmente pueden ayudar al entendimiento de los fenómenos físicos y biológicos subyacentes. Metodología. Este trabajo resume los resultados obtenidos a lo largo de la implementación de un proyecto que ha usado datos de imágenes multi e hiperespectrales de cultivos agrícolas, así como información tomada en el campo. Los conjuntos de datos incluyen imágenes multiespectrales de cultivos de trigo, e imágenes hiperespectrales de canola y trigo, e incluye mediciones manuales de ciertas variables. En lo que se refiere a los modelos de IA, estos están estrechamente relacionados al abordaje del problema del procesamiento de datos. En ambos casos se ha optado por modelos sencillos de aprendizaje profundo, pero con diferencias en el tipo de datos que estos están optimizados para procesar. Resultados. El principal resultado de este trabajo es la demostración del uso de modelos de IA/DL para el análisis de datos no convencionales. En el primer caso, usando redes convolucionales tridimensionales, hemos logrado implementar un modelo que es capaz de predecir el rendimiento de los cultivos de trigo bajo análisis; y en el segundo caso, usando un esquema dual, con modelos secuenciales y espaciales, hemos logrado realizar la predicción del contenido de humedad. Conclusión. Principalmente, este trabajo demuestra que un modelo DL es capaz de encontrar características útiles dentro de un conjunto de datos MSI para la predicción del rendimiento; además de encontrar un modelo DL preciso para la predicción del contenido de humedad de los cultivos de canola y trigo, basado en HSI. Estos resultados evidencian la versatilidad de los modelos de aprendizaje automático y la posibilidad de extenderlos resultados obtenidos en otras aplicaciones.

Functional Cross-talk of Ca2+-Mobilizing Endothelin Receptors in C6 Glioma Cells
Authors: Malík R , Vlašicová K , Šedo A
Published: November 2023

There are conflicting results concerning the receptor subtype(s) involved in calcium-mediated endothelin signaling in the glial cells. In order to elucidate the role of endothelin A and B receptors in these processes, we have studied the effect of a complex spectrum of endothelin receptor ligands on intracellular calcium concentration changes in proliferating and differentiated C6 rat glioma cells. Cell differentiation was induced by dibutyryl-cAMP and assessed by the glial fibrillar acidic protein content. Intracellular calcium changes were measured in cell suspensions using fluorescent probe Fura-2. The specific endothelin B receptor agonists sarafotoxin S6c and IRL-1620 did not influence the intracellular calcium concentration. However, calcium changes induced by endothelin-1 and especially by endothelin-3 after the pretreatment of cells with one of these endothelin B receptor specific agonists were significantly enhanced even above the values attained by the highest effective endothelin concentrations alone. Such endothelin B-receptor ligand-induced sensitization of calcium signaling was not observed in differentiated C6 cells. Moreover, endothelin-induced calcium oscillations in differentiated C6 cells were less inhibited by BQ-123 and BQ-788 than in their proliferating counterparts. In conclusion, the specific activation of endothelin B receptor in C6 rat glioma cells does not affect intracellular calcium per se, but probably does so through interaction with the endothelin A receptor. The pattern and/or functional parameters of endothelin receptors in C6 rat glioma cells are modified by cell differentiation.
IVAN FRANKO’S POEM “TSAR’S WORDS” IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WRITER’S ANTI-IMPERIAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Швець Алла
Published: November 2023

The paper analyzes Ivan Franko’s poem “Tsar’s words” in the context of the anti-imperial discourse presented in the writer’s journalism and poetry. It also uncovers allusions and reminiscences of the poetic texts by T. Shevchenko and P. Kulish within the poetic framework of Franko’s work. Additionally, the study directs attention towards the facts of Franko’s life during the Russian occupation of Lviv from 1914 to 1915, a period when this particular poem was written.

In terms of content, the poem 'Tsar's Words' represents Franko's satirical reflection on the manifesto addressed by the supreme commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Nikolai Romanov, to Galician Muscophiles and the people of Galicia. The title-allusion “Tsar’s words” decodes the real political and historical meaning of this monarchical message, essentially revealing the aggressive and conquering plan of Russia’s anti-Ukrainian project for Galicia. Under the pretext of “collecting Russian lands,” its true aim was to undermine the core of Ukrainian life in the region. Therefore, the poetics of this piece is defined by the simultaneous presence of literary imagery and topical journalism. The poem contains genre features of political satire with elements of invective, political parody, and biting sarcasm. It is characterised by an angry denunciative pathos, the presence of an implicit addressee, a combination of high and vernacular vocabulary, hyperbolism, and polemicism.

As a far-sighted political analyst with the foresight of a national prophet, Franko saw deeper historical processes and consequences in this war, interpreting it in the spectrum of a historically consistent, existential confrontation between the national aspiration of Ukrainians for their own statehood and centuries of Russian enslavement. The political sarcasm of the poem further develops into a prophetic vision and national warning by Franko against the bloody consequences of an uncertain peace with Muscovy, exposing the real essence of the colonialist policy of russification, savage conquest, and obscurantism.
H. KVITKA-OSNOVIANENKO À LA E. SWEDENBORG: DEMONIC AS COLONIAL
Authors: Малиновський Артур
Published: November 2023

The paper offers a reinterpretation of a well-known classical literary work, focusing on its acquisition of new meanings, emancipation from the narrow framework of the ethnographic narrative, and discovery of resistance intentions within the context of postcolonial criticism. The research work explores the mechanisms by which the ideas of the Swedish mystic E. Swedenborg influenced H. Kvitka-Osnovianenko’s concepts of the afterlife. It also scrutinizes the incorporation of hell’s topology into the temporal and spatial dimensions of “The Easter of the Dead” and traces the doctrines explaining the idea of souls, the origins of human evil, the nature of sins and their consequences. Analogies and correspondences between worlds, the symbolism of national space, and the anthropology of corporeality are analyzed within the carnival realm and reinterpreted through the lens of Ukrainian burlesque and travesty traditions. Kvitka-Osnovianenko’s story contains links between demonological narratives, myths, legends, and, on the other hand, colonization by fear, an irrational sense of guilt, and the inevitable punishment of the enslaved by a repressive community. 

The use of the demonic as a tool to influence the reader is determined by the logic of the author’s tropological thinking within the context of imperial censorship, dual identity, and demonstration of political loyalty. The creative use of archaic genre elements, travesty, and parody of folklore motifs affected the interpretation of the irrational, which was subjected to formalization and intertwined with ideology and hidden anti-colonial rhetoric. The colonization by myths, visualized by monstrous pictures and the fears they instill, is juxtaposed with their deconstruction, disenchanted with laughter, the healing power of the carnival, and replication of an ancient tradition in the collective memory. The secret of the ‘national narrative’ of “The Easter of the Dead” lies in this process.

The paper explores the early (Uzhhorod) period of Dmytro Kremin’s (1953–2019) creative work. He was a prominent Ukrainian poet of the second half of the 20th and early 21st century, a laureate of Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine (2019). In particular, the study deals with the 1974 self-publishing collection of four poems-symphonies and the ‘documentary poem’ “Gerstein’s Memorandum”, which were printed in full and reached a wider readership only in the 2021 edition of the poet’s works. The formal-semantic characteristics of the poetic texts synthesize elements of many avant-garde and modernist artistic trends, such as expressionism, symbolism, neo-baroque, neorealism, imagism, etc. The dominant among them is the poetics of surrealism. Poems-symphonies constructed as an associative combination of poetic visions, bizarre images, motifs, and more, serve as exemplars of non-referential lyrics. The poet spontaneously changes the emotional tempo of narration, combining verses with varying syllable counts, verlibre, syllabic-tonic and tonic poems, and even incorporating prose poems. Additionally, he creates unique rhymes and rhyming schemes, etc. The use of all these techniques led to accusations of ‘incomprehensibility’ against D. Kremin, resulting in a limited circle of enthusiasts who appreciate his lyrical and lyre-epic works. In the early works of Dmytro Kremin, there were no dissident motifs or harsh criticism of the system. Nevertheless, the pathos, mood of the poems, their content and form went beyond commonly accepted norms and testified to complete freedom of creativity. For this reason, the poet faced persecution and left Uzhhorod. He became estranged from his circle of friends and deprived of opportunities to thoroughly fulfil his literary pursuits.

Based on the analysis and the opinions of the poet’s contemporaries, the author of the paper claims that the Uzhhorod period is the pinnacle achievement of D. Kremin’s creative work. This conclusion is corroborated by self-evaluations of the poet himself.

With the rapid development of portable devices and Energy Storage Systems (ESS), secondary batteries with high energy density and high capacity are in great demand. Among various candidates, Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been considered for next-generation energy devices given their high theoretical capacity (1675 mAh g-1) and energy density (2500 Wh kg-1). However, the commercialization of Li-S batteries faces challenges due to sulfur’s low electrical conductivity and the shuttle effect, caused by the dissolution of lithium polysulfide intermediates in the electrolyte during the charge-discharge process. Herein, to resolve these problems, we report the fabrication of a vanadium dioxide (VO2) composite via a simple hydrothermal method and optimize the structure of VO2 for constructing an effective Multi-Walled Carbon Nano Tube (MWCNT) and 3D flower-shaped VO2 (MWCNT@VO2) binary sulfur host by a simple melt diffusion method. In particular, the polar VO2 composite not only physically absorbs the soluble lithium polysulfides but also has strong chemical bonds with a higher affinity for lithium polysulfides, which act as a catalyst, enhancing electrochemical reversibility. Additionally, MWCNT improves sulfur’s poor electrical conductivity and buffers volume expansion during cycling. The designed S-MWCNT@VO2 electrode also exhibits better capacity retention and cycling performance than a bare S-MWCNT electrode as a lithium polysulfide reservoir.
Exploring the therapeutic potential of recombinant human lysozyme: a review on wound management system with antibacterial
Authors: Zhao Meiping , Huang Meili , Li Zhen
Published: November 2023

Lysozyme, a natural antibacterial enzyme protein, possesses the ability to dissolve the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria, demonstrating broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Despite its significant potential in treating wound infections and promoting wound healing, its widespread clinical application has yet to be realized. Current research is primarily focused on carrier-based delivery systems for lysozyme. In this review, we discuss four delivery systems that can be employed for lysozyme in wound healing treatment, specifically hydrogels, nanofilms, electrospun fibrous membranes, and modified-lysozyme composite systems. These systems not only enhance the stability of lysozyme but also enable its controlled and sustained release at wound sites, potentially overcoming some of the challenges associated with its direct application. Lastly, we delve into the perspectives and challenges related to the use of these delivery systems, hoping to spur further research and innovation in this promising field.

Tuberculosis (TB), attributed to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, is one of the most serious zoonotic diseases worldwide. Nevertheless, the host mechanisms preferentially leveraged by Mycobacterium remain unclear. After infection, both Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and Mycobacterium bovis (MB) bacteria exhibit intimate interactions with host alveolar macrophages; however, the specific mechanisms underlying these macrophage responses remain ambiguous. In our study, we performed a comparative proteomic analysis of bovine alveolar macrophages (BAMs) infected with MTB or MB to elucidate the differential responses of BAMs to each pathogen at the protein level. Our findings revealed heightened TB infection susceptibility of BAMs that had been previously infected with MTB or MB. Moreover, we observed that both types of mycobacteria triggered significant changes in BAM energy metabolism. A variety of proteins and signalling pathways associated with autophagy and inflammation-related progression were highly activated in BAMs following MB infection. Additionally, proteins linked to energy metabolism were highly expressed in BAMs following MTB infection. In summary, we propose that BAMs may resist MTB and MB infections via different mechanisms. Our findings provide critical insights into TB pathogenesis, unveiling potential biomarkers to facilitate more effective TB treatment strategies. Additionally, our data lend support to the hypothesis that MTB may be transmitted via cross-species infection.
Comparison of intracardiac vs. transesophageal echocardiography for “one-stop” procedures of combined radiofrequency catheter ablation and left atrial appendage closure with the Watchman device in the treatment of atrial fibrillation

Background and objective

This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of “one-stop” procedures that combined radiofrequency catheter ablation and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) with the Watchman device under the guidance of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) vs. transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Methods and results

In this study, we prospectively enrolled patients who underwent “one-stop” procedures under the guidance of ICE (n = 193, 109 men, 65.02 ± 8.47 years) or TEE (n = 109, 69 men, 64.23 ± 7.75 years) between January 2021 and October 2022. Intraprocedural thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA) was observed in 3 (1.46%) patients in the ICE group and 15 (11.63%) patients in the TEE group (P < 0.05) before LAAC. Total fluoroscopy time and dose in the ICE group were less than those in the TEE group. The total “one-stop” turnaround time and LAAC procedure time in the ICE group were significantly shorter than those in the TEE group (P < 0.05). Postoperative esophagus discomfort, nausea and vomiting, and hypotension were more often seen in the TEE group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in matched cases between ICE and fluoroscopy measurements (P = 0.082). The TEE results related to LAAC and clinical events were similar between the two groups during the follow-up (P > 0.05).

Conclusion

The ICE-guided “one-stop” procedure was safe and feasible with less radiation exposure, shorter turnaround time, and fewer complications and intraoperative thrombus formations than the TEE group. ICE offered accurate measurements in the LAA dimension during LAAC. Echocardiography during the “one-stop” procedures was necessary to rule out the intraoperative thrombus.
