GENETIC APPROACH IN TAFSIR NUR AL-IHSAN: A CRITICISM OF THE WORK OF AL-JAMI 'AL-AHKAM AL-QURAN
Authors: Yusuff Mohd Sholeh Sheh , Haji Othman Yusuf , Tengku Zawawi Tengku Zawani
Published: October 2022

Malay scholars of the archipelago have been active in producing works in various fields of Islamic studies such as fiqh, hadith and tafsir al-Quran. One of the works written in the field of tafsir al-Quran is Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan produced by Umar, M. S. This work is widely referenced by the community in understanding the contents of the Qur'an. However, it was found that there were previous researchers who thought that the author of this work did not use authoritative sources of reference when explaining the facts related to the Qur'an while the initial reading of the researcher found that the author did not use his own opinion when interpreting the verses of al- Quran, even many works of muktabar reference that he referred to. Since this work is still referenced by the community then a refinement effort must be made. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to study and trace the reference sources used by Umar, M. S in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, in addition to the researcher revealing how the references are processed using the genetic approach introduced by Goldman. Through this approach, all reference sources used from al-Jami ’al-Ahkam al-Quran by Al-Qurtubi, A. A. B. are revealed. The study shows that the author of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan has taken five approaches when processing the text from the work he referred to, namely; the text is quoted accurately and in parallel from the work of al-Jami 'al-Ahkam al-Quran, the author quotes the text abstractly from the work, the author omits some words from the referenced text before being included in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, the author adds description and explanation against the quoted text, as well as the author denying part of the text referenced. The researcher revealed that Umar, M. S. referred to al-Jami ’al-Ahkam al-Quran when writing Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan to strengthen his work. Thus, he succeeds in doing so when the text referred to coincides with the text in his work. However, in certain places, there is the text of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan which is contrary to the text of al-Jami 'al-Ahkam al-Quran. This makes his interpretation of this section dubious.

Published: October 2022

The Malay scholars of the archipelago have been active in producing works in various fields of Islamic studies. These areas are faith, Sufism, and interpretation of the Qur'an. One of the works written in the field of tafsir al-Quran is Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan produced by Umar, M. S. This work is widely referenced by the community in understanding the contents of the Qur'an. However, the results of the survey found that there are previous researchers who believe that the author of this work does not use authoritative reference sources when describing the facts related to the Qur'an, while the initial reading found that the author did not use his own opinion when interpreting the Qur'an in his work, even many of the works of muktabar reference that he referred to. Since this work is still referenced by the community then a refinement effort must be made. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to study and trace the reference sources used by Umar, M. S. in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, in addition to the researcher revealing how the references are processed by him using the genetic approach introduced by Goldman. Through this approach, all reference sources used from the work of Anwar al-Tanzil wa Asrar al-Takwil by al-Baydawi, A. U. are revealed. This study shows that the author of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan has taken five approaches when processing the text from the work he referred to, namely; the text is quoted accurately and in parallel, the author quotes the text abstractly from the work, the author removes some words from the referenced text before being included in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, the author adds descriptions and explanations to the quoted text, and the author denies part of the referenced text. The researcher revealed that Umar, M. S. referred to the work of Anwar al-Tanzil wa Asrar al-Takwil when writing Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan to strengthen his work. He manages to strengthen his interpretation if the text referred to coincides with the text in his work. But, on the other hand, if the reference text is not parallel or contradictory then the intention of the author to strengthen the interpretation in his work in this section is not successful.

Published: October 2022

This study specifically examines the concept of Islamic literature found in the work of Siti Zainon Ismail. Interestingly, Siti Zainon combines painting and literature in her work. The concept of Islamic literature was not founded by Siti Zainon but the author sought to study the application of the concept of Islamic literature that exists in her work. The concepts of Islamic literature that we can find in her work include; first; use of calligraphic elements or Jawi writing, second; the importance of sensitivity to the environment and its society, third; the essence of culture or nation; fourth; no figurativeism; fifth; the use of floral motifs and fauna. These five theories eventually return to the main concept of Islamic Literature in her work, which is to return to the everlasting beauty which is God.
Problems of the legal qualification of the crime of genocide
Authors: Fedulova S. O.
Published: October 2022

It has beеn exаmined the problеms of thе lеgal quаlification of thе crimе of gеnocide in the аrticle. It wаs determinеd thаt it is not еasy to provе gеnocide, from а legаl point of viеw thе dеfinition of gеnocide is vеry nаrrow. It is determinеd thаt thе courts must infеr thе intеnt of criminаls bаsed on thеir conduct, thаt is, it is nеcessary to rеly on circumstаntial evidеnce thаt must bе bеyond а reаsonable doubt. Proving gеnocide tаkes a long time to invеstigate аnd prove not just intеnt to kill, but killing pеople becаuse thеy wеre pаrt of а group. It was determined that, in fact, it is not the number of victims that decides whether genocide is or not, but the intention to physically destroy a group is the main criterion for this crime. It has been described the existing genocides in the history of mankind, recognized today by the court at the international level, and has been provided legal conclusions in the article. It was concluded that regarding the issue of defining Russia’s crimes against Ukraine as genocide, the world community is currently divided in its opinions. Some believes that genocide is taking place in Ukraine, pointing out that there is evidence of murders of people for belonging to Ukraine. Others point out that it is too early to define Russian atrocities as belonging to this category because the evidence is still too unclear given the strict wording of the Genocide Convention. It has been updated that the world legal science and practice are waiting for the Ukrainian government to provide carefully collected, recorded and documented evidence to confirm various signs of genocide according to the legal definition of international law.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: Gamified digital platforms allow non-health related individuals to learn about the prevention, management and treatment of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a new gamified digital platform increases learning about the prevention of metabolic syndrome, obesity, and T2DM. Methods: An exploratory, randomized, cause-effect study was carried out in 150 children between 10 and 12 years of age. Three exploratory, cause-effect experiments were designed to evaluate each one of the following pathologies: T2DM, obesity and metabolic syndrome. For each experiment, two study groups of 25 individuals each were formed. The experimental group was asked to use the digital platform that contained the information on the pathology under study in an animated storytelling and playful way. The control group received written information about each pathology. The assessment was carried out by applying a validated questionnaire including basic questions about the three diseases. This test was performed before and after the intervention. Results: We found a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the post-intervention knowledge acquired within the experimental group about metabolic syndrome, obesity, and T2DM when using the digital platform and compared to the control group. Children in the control group significantly improved their scores after the intervention compared to their baseline ones. Conclusion: Gamified digital platforms have the potential to be a novel primary prevention method for metabolic diseases. The present study allows us to conclude that any validated learning instrument increases knowledge about metabolic diseases. However, gamified digital platforms significantly increase learning compared to other types of methods (written information).

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TOOL IN THE STUDY OF MRSA NASAL CARRIAGE AMONG HEALTH CARE WORKERS OF TERITARY CARE HOSPITAL - ITS UTILITY
Authors: S Rajeswari , R Vasanthi , Thangam G Sucila , G Shaju , Maheswari M Uma
Published: October 2022

Background And Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of community and hospital
acquired infections. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common nosocomial
pathogen in the ICUs and other parts of the hospital and presents a challenge for all health care institutions. One of the
important sources of MRSA in hospital setting is nasal carriage among health care workers (HCW's). Thus screening of health
care workers for MRSA carriage will be helpful in preventing spread of MRSA from colonized health care workers to patients.
The objective of the study is to to estimate the prevalence of nasal carriage of MRSA among health care workers of our
institution. It is a prospective study done at Institute of Microbiology, Madurai Materials And Methods: Medical College,
Madurai with the study period of two months. Nasal swabs collected from 100 healthcare workers working in different
departments of our tertiary care hospital. All the swabs were inoculated on to Mannitol salt agar plates and incubated at 37°c
for 24hrs to isolate Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA strains were identied by disc diffusion method using Cefoxitin (30฀g) disc.
Results: Out of 100 HCWs, 21 (21%) were nasal carriers of S.aureus and among them 2(2/21) (9.5%) were carrier of MRSA. The
overall nasal carriage rate of MRSA was 2%(2/100). S. aureus carriage rate was highest among Staff nurses 27.7 % (5/18) while
MRSA carriage rate was highest among Interns 3.3%(1/30). In our study, nasal Conclusion: carriage of MRSA among the
health care workers is 2 % with the rate being highest among Interns. Considering the fact that Health Care Workers are more
involved in the patient care activities, it is necessary to sensitize them regarding this issue and we should emphasize the
importance of hand washing on them.

infected with SARS-CoV2 got invaded by fungal spores in increasing rates and if these two conditions
happen in a patient with an underlying disease like diabetes mellitus, A serious Triple threat unfolds. This study attempted to
evaluate such risk factors that poses an additional threat during second wave of pandemic. Aims And Objectives: The aim of
this study was to assess the risk factors for COVID-19 associated Mucormycosis (COVID - Mucor). To see associated risk factors
in Mucormycosis patients who have previously diagnosed covid-19 positive and covid-19 negative. Material And Method: In
this study, we analyzed risk factors for Covid-Mucormycosis patients using data from a cross-sectional study, conducted in the
Mucormycosis ward, B J Medical College, Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This study covered patients who have been
admitted during the period from 14 May 2021 to 08 June 2021. The study was conducted after approval of institutional ethical
committee. Risk factors were analyzed among 48 participants: 39 COVID–Mucormycosis (81.25%) and 9 nonCOVID–Mucormycosis (18.75%). Patients aged >18 years with conrmed histopathology report of tissue damage or positive
fungal culture were included. Cases group included patients with COVID-19 conrmed by RT-PCR or Rapid Antigen Test (RAT)
on a nasopharyngeal and Oropharyngeal sample. Control group included subjects with no past history of Covid-19 infection.
Study categorical variables were compared between both groups using Fisher's exact test. Result And Conclusions: At the end
of this study, among all Comorbidity (Prevalence Risk 1.49; p-value = 0.09), Diabetes Mellitus (Prevalence Risk (PR) 1.56; pvalue = 0.04) was more common in cases. Corticosteroid use (Prevalence Risk (PR) 3.45; p-value = 0.01) was highly associated
with cases of Covid-Mucormycosis and Oxygen Therapy (Prevalence Risk (PR) 2.6; p-value = 0.005) was used only in a majority
of patients with COVID–Mucormycosis. In conclusion, factors like Diabetes mellitus, Steroid use, Oxygen Therapy, and COVID19 itself contribute as interlocked risk factors for COVID–Mucormycosis epidemic. Judicial use of steroids and Oxygen Therapy
with screening and optimal control of hyperglycemia can prevent COVID–Mucormycosis.

Published: October 2022

Sex estimation is one of the essential parameters for the human Identication in forensic analysis.
Resilience of palatal structures and mandible to traumatic and natural forces is useful in several forensic
situations. Radiography plays a vital role in forensic dentistry to uncover hidden facts which cannot be seen by means of
physical examination. The occlusal radiograph gives a bird's eye view of entire maxillary and mandibular arches, and useful in
evaluation of dental arches. To assess the usefulness of linear measurements of maxillary and mandi Aims: bular dental
arches on occlusal radiographs for gender determination. The study constituted of 60 subjects Settings And Design: (30 males
and 30 females) with age range of 21-30 years. 120 cross sectional maxillary and mandibular occlusal radiographs were taken
and traced. Maxillary and mandibular dental arch linear measurements on occlusal radiographs were made related to Inter
canine, Inter 1st premolar, Inter 2nd premolar, Inter 1st molar, and Inter 2nd molar widths. Statistical Analysis Used:
Independent Student t Test and Discriminant function analysis. The Inter 2nd molar width Results: in both dental arches was
the best predictor for gender determination. The Predicted gender model showed a sensitivity of 60% & 70% and specicity of
70% & 60% in the maxillary and mandibular arches respectively with overall accuracy of 65% in both the arches. Conclusion:
The present study shows a signicant sexual dimorphism in linear measurements of maxillary and mandibular dental arches

STUDY OF INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RESTRICTION IN PREGNANCY AND THE MATERNAL AND PERINATAL OUTCOME IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE.
Authors: Nair Priya , Inamdar Saunitra
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is still one of the most common causes of foetal
morbidity and mortality, as well as neonatal mortality and morbidity. It's mostly accountable for the high
number of perinatal deaths. IUGR is described as a rate of foetal growth smaller than the typical growth expected during a
certain gestational age and can be caused by a variety of maternal, foetal, and placental variables. Birth weight less than two
standard deviations or less than the 10th percentile of the mean for a certain gestational age is considered small for gestational
age (SGA). Neonatal mortality has decreased signicantly in recent decades as a result of developments in antenatal and
neonatal critical care, as well as management of low birth weight babies, although stillbirth rates have remained stable. These
children in the later stage of life can develop developmental delays, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and long-term health
issues. In the current article, we discuss regarding the incidence of IUGR in study population, and the associated maternal
diseases along with perinatal outcome. METHOD: The study was done in a peri-urban tertiary care centre in Nagpur from
January 2021 till December 2021 for a duration of 1 year, where 100 women with diagnosed Intra Uterine Growth Restriction
were admitted and followed up. Demographic characters were noted and maternal and fetal monitoring was done regularly.
Mode of delivery was planned according to gestational age, degree of IUGR, doppler changes. Maternal and perinatal
outcome and complications were noted. RESULTS: 100 cases of IUGR were recruited for the study from January 2021 till
December 2021 for a duration of 1 year out of total of 1246 deliveries which were recorded in the hospital during this time period.
In the present study, the incidence of IUGR was 8.02%. Pregnancy Induced Hypertension was the most signicant risk factor
associated with IUGR which was 53%, followed by anaemia- 12%. Previous pregnancies which had IUGR with IUGR in this
pregnancy were found in 9 patients. Of the 64 LSCS, foetal distress was the commonest indication (33 cases, 51.5%) followed by
abnormal Doppler ndings (17 cases 26.5 %). 86 % of babies had asymmetric IUGR while patients with symmetric IUGR were
14%. CONCLUSION: IUGR leads to the causes of neonatal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. It can be easily assessed at
an early stage. Serial clinical, ultrasonographic and doppler follow up will help in diagnosing IUGR and decision making to
avoid intrauterine demise, neonatal and perinatal mortality. Surveillance of high-risk pregnancies is also required.

Total of 74 patients with ESRD (mean age: 54.7 years; men: 67.6%) undergoing hemodialysis enrolled. Overall, 53 (71.6%)
patients had improvement in their life in comparison to last year. Majority of patients reported no bodily pain (66.2%). Majority of
patients (68.9%) did not feel frustrated due to kidney disease. Total of 75.7% of patients did not feel like a burden on their family.
More than half of the patients reported they did not bother about dry skin (55.4%), sleep disturbance (66.2%), and problem with
access site (75.7%). Most of the patients reported that dialysis staff encouraged them to be as independent as possible (93.7%)
and support them in coping their kidney disease (93.3%). Conclusion: The present study was done to throw a light on the status
of QOL of Indian patients undergoing hemodialysis and might inspire the healthcare providers to endeavor for quality in
delivery of dialysis in the future.

Flexible Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Clustering with Game Theory to Address Human Activity Discovery Fully Unsupervised
Authors: Hadikhani Parham , Lai Daphne Teck Ching , Ong Wee-Hong
Published: October 2022

Most research in human activity recognition is supervised, while non-supervised approaches are not completely unsupervised. Moreover, These methods cannot be used in real-time applications due to high calculations. In this paper, we provide a novel flexible multi-objective particle swarm optimization clustering method based on game theory (FMOPG) to discover human activities fully unsupervised. Unlike conventional clustering methods that estimate the number of clusters and are very time-consuming and inaccurate, an incremental technique is introduced which makes the proposed method flexible in dealing with the number of clusters and improves the speed of clustering. By adopting this technique, clusters with a better connectedness and good separation from other clusters are gradually selected. Updating of particles’ velocity is modified by adopting the concept of mean-shift vector to improve the convergence speed of PSO in achieving the best solution and dealing with non-spherical shape clusters. Multi-objective optimization problem is mapped to game theory by adopting Nash equilibrium to select the optimal solution on the pareto front. Gaussian mutation is also employed on the pareto front to generate diverse solutions and create a balance between exploitation and exploration. Moreover, A smart grid-based method is proposed to initialize the population to generate diverse solutions and reduce the variance between the worst and best clustering results. The proposed method is compared with state-of-the-art methods on seven challenging datasets. FMOPG has improved clustering accuracy by 3.65 % compared to other automated methods. Moreover, the incremental technique has improved the clustering time by 71.18 %.

Published: October 2022

Blockchain technology is employed in mission-critical systems with high reliability requirements. Therefore, rigorous testing is essential for the adoption of this technology. Many techniques have been utilized in testing the trustworthiness and security of blockchain-based systems. These include fuzz testing, model-based testing, search-based testing and concolic testing. Additionally, blockchain technology can be utilized for improving the software and systems testing processes in general. We present a survey on this interplay between blockchain and testing. We categorize studies that apply testing techniques on blockchain-based systems and those studies that benefit from the blockchain technology for improving the testing process. We also propose a reference architecture for utilizing blockchain technology in the context of certification testing.

Analysis and Classification of 1H-NMR Spectra by Multifractal Analysis
Authors: Kim Jongphil , Woo Hin Kyeol , Vimalajeewa Dixon , Vidakovic Brani
Published: October 2022

The objective of this research focuses on whether the variation in the amount of sulfur amino acids (SAA) intake affects the metabolic process. Traditional approaches, which evaluate specific biomarkers after a series of preprocessing procedures, have been criticized as not being fully informative as well as inappropriate for the translation of methodology. Rather than focusing on particular biomarkers, our proposed methodology involving multifractal analysis measures inhomogeneity of regularity of proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectrum by wavelet-based multifractal spectrum. With two different statistical models (Day model (Model I) and Hour model (Model-II)), three different geometric features of the multifractal spectrum of each 1H-NMR spectrum (spectral mode, left slope, and broadness) are employed to evaluate the effect of SAA and discriminate 1H-NMR spectra associated with different treatments. The investigated effects of SAA include group effect (high and low dose of SAA), depletion/repletion effect, and time over data effect. 

The 1H-NMR spectra analysis outcomes show that the group effect is significant for all features of both models. The hourly variation in time and depletion/repletion effects do not show noticeable differences for the three features in Model-I. However, these two effects are significant only for the spectral mode feature in Model-II. The 1H-NMR spectra of the SAA low groups exhibit highly regular patterns with more variability than that of the SAA high group for both models. Moreover, the discriminatory analysis conducted using the support vector machine and the principal components analysis shows that 1H-NMR spectra of the SAA high and low group can be easily discriminatory for both models, while the spectra of depletion and repletion within these groups are discriminatory for Model-I and Model-II. Therefore, the study outcomes imply that the amount of SAA is important and that the SAA intake affects mostly the hourly variation of the metabolic process and the difference between depletion and repletion each day. In conclusion, multifractal analysis of 1H-NMR spectra can provide novel tools to investigate metabolic processes.

A performance characteristic for net light collection in hyperspectral and conventional cameras: A∗
Authors: Skauli Torbjorn
Published: October 2022

This paper, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, discusses ways to quantify the light collection by a camera, which is critical for the signal to noise ratio of the imagery. Based on a generalized analysis of a camera from an outside "black box" perspective, a preferred metric for light collection is identified, denoted A*. It is argued that this quantity can serve as a comparative figure of merit for cameras, as well as an element of image metadata. The work addresses conventional cameras as well as hyperspectral cameras. The proposed metric is part of the draft standard for hyperspectral imaging being developed by IEEE SA P4001.
Digital Predistortion Equalizer using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filter Implemented on FPGA
Authors: Nima Bassam , Li Yanan , Zhang Zhenyu
Published: October 2022

This manuscript proposed an innovative digital predistortion equalizer using the LMS algorithm. In this article, we used self-made nonlinear circuit boards cascaded with an off-the-shelf RF amplifier to mimic the distorted intermediate frequency (IF) response of a wireless communication system. After applying our proposed algorithm, our prototype demonstrated adaptive equalization within 2 dB bandwidth in the 0.2 - 0.8 Nyquist frequency range (10 - 40 MHz in our case). At this range, the equalizer kept the phase response relatively linear with a group delay less than 10ns. It is foreseeable that our proposed adaptive digital equalizer can be widely used in wireless communication systems.

Published: October 2022

The aims of this study are to analyze and find weaknesses in the regulation of legal protection for wives who have been talak divorced by their husbands due to their husband's mistakes and to find a reconstruction of legal protection regulations for wives who are talak divorced by their husbands due to the husband's mistakes based on the value of justice in a research that uses constructivism paradigm. The approach method used is empirical juridical, namely the application of normative legal provisions in action on divorce legal events, especially divorce divorces. The data used are primary data, secondary data, and tertiary data which were analyzed descriptively. The legal theory used is the theory of Islamic justice, the theory of the legal system and the theory of legal protection. The results of the study show that the weakness of the regulation of legal protection for wives who got talak divorced by their husbands due to the husband's fault lies in the unclear article on the type of reason for the divorce and its consequences, especially when the husband who handed down the divorce was the perpetrator of the affair, and the wife as the victim did not receive compensation. therefore, the legal reconstruction can be done by adding new norms to Article 41 of Law no. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, and also Article 149 of the Presidential Instruction (INPRES) No. 1 of 1991 concerning the KHI, namely: "The ex-husband is obliged to provide compensation in the form of a year's income to the ex-wife if the divorce is due to the husband's fault, but if the husband is unable to fulfill it then he must make a statement of incapacity and apologize to the wife for not being able to do so able to pay for it.”
