AN EXAMINATION OF SOCIO-RELIGIOUS PRACTICES OF SUFI ADHERENTS IN BIDA, NIGER STATE
Authors: Yahaya Abdulrahman
Published: February 2024

Socio-religious concept is a term that was derived from a compound word of “social and religion” meaning different activities of people in communities which some historians suggested to be part and parcel of religions especially Islam. The paper seeks to encapsulate Bida in Nupe land, economic situation and locations where Nupe people are located in Nigeria, including their early religious worship such as Kuti (idol) which exist among people up to the time of introduction of Islam by some agents like Wangarawa Muslim scholars from Mali and Malam Muhammadu Bagana popularly known by Nupe people as “Manko” and others. The emergence of Sufism was assessed rightly from the time of Qadiriyyah Sufi practice and some scholars that were known with it like Sheikh Abdulrahman Muhammad bn Sharif and Sheikh Muhammad Wazir (1882-1945) called “Waziri Mamma” before the emergence of Tijjaniyyah Sufi order during the reign of 2nd Etsu Nupe Muhammadu Saba (1859-1873) known as “Ma’asaba” by Nupe people through a scholar Man-Haruna, alias “Man-yisa Naku” in Banwuya among people in Bida. The paper provides an overview of some socio-religious practices of Sufis in Bida, Niger State with the way and manner they are practice in accordance with the teachings of Islam. The paper examines the effects of training on adherents among Sufis in Bida, Niger State. In this paper, exploratory design method would be used for obtaining data from relevant areas of primary and secondary sources.

Published: February 2024

Islamic religious education in Indonesia has undergone various changes in the development of its curriculum. Education itself has an important and influential role in changing a person. In the context of the moral and moral crisis that is currently sweeping Indonesia, education is expected to help overcome the current crisis. Seeing these problems, the perennialism approach in the development of the Islamic religious education curriculum aims to maintain traditional values that are considered to have eternal and universal truths. In this approach, the curriculum is designed to focus on fundamental values such as faith, morals, and worship, as well as the formation of strong character and good morals. Effective and efficient teaching methods, such as discussion, question and answer, and problem solving, are also emphasized in this approach. It needs to be adapted to the conditions of the times so that traditional values remain relevant in modern life.

REVAMPING TRADITION WITH TECH: GUIDING INNOVATION IN ZAKAT FOR SOCIAL GOOD
Authors: Wahyudi Ickhsanto , Amalia Euis , Rini Rini
Published: February 2024

As a pillar of Islam, zakat holds profound meaning and socioeconomic significance. However, oversight deficiencies have constrained its capacity for poverty alleviation. This paper explores emerging technologies - including blockchain, artificial intelligence, and mobile platforms - to strengthen zakat management. Through a qualitative literature review, we examine the digital transformation of zakat systems. We argue for cautious technology adoption to enhance transparency, efficiency, and inclusivity while aligning with Islamic ethics. Guiding principles grounded in maqasid al-shariah are offered, emphasizing human discretion and oversight. While risks around exclusion, security, and algorithmic bias necessitate vigilance, thoughtfully implemented technology can optimize zakat distribution and amplify impact. By leveraging innovation to uphold foundational values, zakat can fulfil its noble obligations of uplifting communities and promoting social justice.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to determine the strategy for managing zakat funds to improve people's welfare at the Bengkalis Regional Zakat Agency (BAZNAS).The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, in which the data were obtained through interviews, observation, documentation, and a literature review. The results showed that the strategy for managing zakat funds used by the Amil Zakat Agency of Bengkalis Regency was to increase cooperation with various agencies, including government agencies, often by conducting socialization through seminars on zakat. They were growing the competence of Amil Human Resources (HR), the Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ), and volunteers and developing an information and communication technology (ICT) system for managing zakat. While the obstacles are the lack of public understanding of zakat and the lack of public trust in the Amil Zakat Agency, Bengkalis Regency. The solutions implemented by BAZNAS Bengkalis Regency to overcome obstacles include BAZNAS having to carry out transparency in management, modernization of control, and publication of zakat management. The Bengkalis Regency National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) needs to involve government and private institutions in programs that can assist mustahik in using zakat funds. As well as, the role of local government in improving the management of zakat can increase people's motivation to pay zakat. There needs to be in-depth research on zakat in the regions, and Bengkalis Regency has a different program from the other areas in Indonesia.
CRITICAL STUDY ON THE DA’WAH MOVEMENT OF THE MUSLIMAH OF HIZB UT-TAHRIR INDONESIA IN ESTABLISHING AN ISLAMIC SOCIETY IN INDONESIA
Authors: Suhartini Suhartini , Ismail Achmad Satori
Published: February 2024

This research is a scientific paper arising from a thought of the big amount of women population along with their roles in building society and human civilization. However, empowerment of women, as the subject of da’wah, is still less, both in terms of the quality and the quantity. Hence, women as the da’wah object have not been properly managed. For that reason, the reseachers are interested in studying the activities of the da’wah movement of the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia. The da’wah movement the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia is chosen as the research object since building an Islamic society is related to their central issue of establishing an Islamic Caliphate. For analyzing such an issue, the researches determine the problem formulation, namely: how does the da’wah movement of the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia realize an Islamic society? The method of the research is qualitative, namely by conducting observation along with interviews, library researches, and an analytic description method. The discussion result was obtained through a study of the da’wah movement of the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia by utilizing da’wah approaches, both in terms of the manhaj, da’wah elements, and da’wah objectives, and then analyzing them. The result discloses that the da’wah movement of the Muslimah of Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia focuses on the da’wah of thoughts only. Therefore, those who have a vision of realizing an Islamic Caliphate and leading Indonesia will not be able to realize an Islamic society, or even to lead the country or to realize an Islamic Caliphate.

SHARD-FEMF: Adaptive Forensic Evidence Management Framework using Blockchain Sharding and IPFS
Authors: Dhulavvagol Praveen , Totad Sashikumar , Anagal Atrey
Published: February 2024

Blockchain technology is a groundbreaking and highly secure decentralized digital ledger used to record and store transactions across a network of computers. Its primary purpose is to safeguard, monitor, and oversee digital assets, providing robust protection against unauthorized tampering, revisions, or deletions. It serves as an immutable and tamper-resistant ledger ideal for storing digital evidence, enabling the tracking of evidence’s origins while strictly controlling access to authorized individuals. Current evidence management systems lack essential functionalities, such as authenticating intermediate user access and efficiently transferring evidence access between users. These systems also rely on the Base64 algorithm, which presents challenges related to storage capacity, time delays, scalability, and transaction throughput. To address these limitations, this research introduces an innovative solution: The integration of the Base64 scheme with sharding and the Interplanetary File System (IPFS). This integration is designed to bolster transaction performance, scalability, and throughput. The Base64 scheme plays a pivotal role by encrypting image evidence, securely housing it within the blockchain network. Concurrently, IPFS decentralizes the storage of these images, thereby optimizing memory usage and enhancing transaction throughput within the blockchain environment. Experimental results showcase the efficacy of the proposed SHARD-FEMF, demonstrating a 25% improvement in memory utilization, a 21.5% reduction in gas utilization, and a 23% enhancement in transaction scalability compared to the existing Base64 scheme. Through the combined utilization of sharding and IPFS, the SHARD-FEMF framework represents a significant advancement in efficient forensic evidence management leveraging blockchain technology
Software Component Selection: An Optimized Selection Criterion for Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE)
Authors: Nabot Ahmad
Published: February 2024

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is gaining popularity in software development due to time and cost limitations. As software applications have become integral to people's lives, developing high-quality and user-friendly applications within a reasonable timeframe and budget has become increasingly challenging. Software development firms frequently use Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components to address this challenge and reduce development costs and time. However, selecting appropriate components that meet customer requirements and integrate seamlessly with the target system is a complex task requiring considering the entire software system's quality. This study investigates the critical factors that software industry practitioners and experts must consider when selecting software components. First, the author asked practitioners to identify the most important quality criteria for an online bookstore from a list using subjective judgment and evaluation grades. Then, the study employed the Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach to tackle the multi-level evaluations and information uncertainty associated with software component selection issues. The ER approach's primary features, such as weight normalization, probability assessment, uncertainty management, and utility intervals, offer several benefits for COTS selection problems, including cost and time reduction, improved software reliability, effectiveness, and efficiency. This study assessed the quality criteria for an online bookstore using the ER approach and provided analysis results based on the approach's computational steps. Finally, the study ranked the four components according to their weights, evaluation grades, and belief degrees for selection

Objective: Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is a cluster C personality disorder, and the most prevalent one. It is mainly characterized by perfectionism and can cause distress and functional impairment in the individual. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of OCPD in medical students, investigate the effect of this disorder on students’ academic performance, and discover any possible related factors.

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study consisted of 508 medical students enrolled at the University of Jordan in 2021. It utilized a questionnaire that enquired about their sociodemographic information, academic information, and study habits. It also contained questions about the diagnostic criteria of OCPD from the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and questions from the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 (PID-5) to assess the presence of the rigid perfectionism personality trait.

Results: Fifty-one percent of the studied sample either fulfilled the DSM-5 criteria or showed moderate or high expression of rigid perfectionism, according to the PID-5. More than two-thirds of the students able to be diagnosed with OCPD reported being overwhelmed with anxiety and stress at times of exams, and 41.5% stated that they skip sleep before exams even though they have finished studying.

Conclusion: The reported prevalence of 51.18% in medical students is ten times the prevalence of OCPD in the general population. There was no association between OCPD and the students’ gender or academic performance. Students affected by OCPD seem to experience overwhelming amounts of stress and may need mental health support in the form of regular check-ups and counseling services.
The Value of Axial Imaging to Check Reduction after Anterior Approach Open Reduction for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Authors: Al-Naser Saeed , Altamimi Anas Ar , Gharaibeh Monther
Published: February 2024

Background: There are still many controversies regarding the diagnosis and management of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Axial imaging is routinely used after closed or open reduction to confirm reduction has occurred. In this study, we aimed to determine the rate of early re-dislocation or failure of reduction after anterior approach open reduction (AOR), to establish whether there is a true need for routinely performing post-operative axial imaging.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed radiographs, operation notes and post-operative CT scan images of our AOR cases from September 2018 to June 2020. The CT scan images were reviewed to check the post-operative reduction and congruency. The ‘posterior neckline’ and the ‘modified Shenton line’ were used to assess reduction. The related literature was also reviewed.

Results: Thirty patients were included. The post-operative CT scans confirmed that all cases had reduced congruent hips. The CT scans did not change future treatment plans for any patient in this cohort and did not predict late re-dislocation.

Conclusions: The rate of early re-dislocation or failure of reduction after AOR was negligible. Traditional routine axial imaging after this operation is therefore unjustified and has no value in predicting possible late re-dislocations. It also comes at the cost of extra radiation to the child and expense for the health system. We recommend stopping the routine use of post-operative axial imaging and using it selectively for specific indications, including teratologic and neuromuscular hips, bilateral DDH, and after revision surgery, in addition to closed reductions and medial approach open reduction.

This study investigated the propensity for medical students to experience symptoms of depression, relative to other students, at West Bank Palestinian universities. In addition, the study evaluated the socio-demographic or academic factors that might influence this propensity. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted on 714 medical and non-medical students from Al-Quds and Al-Najah Universities. Data were generated through a questionnaire that included sociodemographic parameters and academic status, and measured depression using the Beck Depression Inventory. The data were analyzed using SPSS (v. 20). About a third of the sample’s medical students suffered from some form of depression. Moderate depression appeared to be relatively high among medical (18.7%) and non-medical students (25.5%). At all depression levels, there was a significantly lower prevalence of depression among medical students compared to non-medical, with the exception that the medical students suffered a higher rate of mild mood disturbances (25.1%) than the non-medical (14.6%). Furthermore, there were significant correlations (α ≤0.05) between a higher prevalence of depression and being female, lower grade point average (GPA), lower economic status, and a lack of psychological support. Other variables, such as accommodation and year of study, showed insignificant relationships with depression. Depression was highly prevalent among the students, regardless of their university or field of study, which probably reflects the high depression rates in the wider Palestinian society. Nevertheless, the lower prevalence of depression among the medical students may be attributed to the fact that higher quality students are accepted by medical schools and their level of adaptation to stress and hard work. Finally, our results challenge the perception of a higher depression rate among medical students.
Distrofias del lactante: importancia de su aspecto médico-social

Published: February 2024

Los estados de desnutrición en el lactante constituyen uno de los capítulos de mayor importancia de la Clínica Pediátrica. Representan también, desde el punto de vista social una de las entidades mórbidas más significativas del grado de abandono en que se encuentra un número considerable de niños de nuestras clases proletarias. A través de mi corta actuación en la Sala Primera del Hospital de Niños de La Plata y de mi concurrencia al consultorio de lactantes de dicho Hospital y del que pertenece al Instituto de Maternidad de La Plata, he conocido la profundidad del mal y los estragos que produce así como también sus remedios. Es por eso que en este trabajo además de ocuparme en general de las distrofias en el lactante, me propongo señalar la importancia del aspecto médico-social y de sustentar como principio esencial que la acción médica no es la única solución, ya que ésta depende de una constelación de medidas higiénicas, económicas y sociales que exigen una labor de conjunto de las múltiples actividades de la Nación.
Persistencia del conducto arteriovenoso
Authors:   , Melber Jorge Federico
Published: February 2024

El conducto arteriovenoso deriva del sexto arco branquial comunicando el tronco de la arteria pulmonar con la aorta. Durante la vida intrauterina, no teniendo una finalidad funcional la circulación en el pulmón, las cuatro quintas partes de la sangre que sale del ventrículo derecho, pasa a través del conducto arterial a la aorta y luego a la gran circulación. Al nacer y en especial con la primera inspiración, la totalidad de la sangre del ventrículo derecho pasa a los pulmones donde se oxigena y el conducto arterioso deja de tener su función, involucionando paulatinamente hasta obliterarse entre el primer y tercer mes de la vida extrauterina para transformarse en el ligamento arterial. Cuando por cualquier causa el conducto arterioso no se cierra, se constituye la anomalía conocida como persistencia del conducto arteriovenoso.- La persistencia del conducto arteriovenoso ocupa en frecuencia el tercer lugar dentro de las anomalías cardíacas congénitas simples, después de la comunicación interventricular e interauricular. La persistencia del conducto arteriovenoso coexiste frecuentemente con otras anomalías, no siendo raro hallarla asociada con estenosis aórtica o pulmonar. De 150 casos de persistencia del conducto arteriovenoso que forman la estadística Abbott, se lo encuentra en 13 casos asociado a coartación de la aorta, en 3 a transposición de los gruesos troncos, en 28 a atresia de la arteria pulmonar, en 12 con estenosis pulmonar, en 15 con defectos del tabique interauricular y en 2 veces con comunicación interventricular.
El reflejo de Hoffmann

Published: February 2024

Es un signo de piramidalismo, investigado habitualmente en el extranjero, sobre todo en los Estados Unidos. Un discípulo de Echolls, Ctto Bendheim, que se ocupó de la historia de este reflejo, no pudo hallar el trabajo original, pero de Curschmann que cita el reflejo en uno de sus trabajos obtuvo la información de que pertenece a Johann Hoffmann, profesor de la universidad de Rostock, quien lo presentaba en sus demostraciones y clases sin llegar a publicarlo. Lo intepretaba como un signo de "hiperreflexia de las extremidades superiores". Curschmann mencionó asimismo el descubrimiento del reflejo por Trömner, independientemente en 1913, en Hamburgo. Keyser en 1916, lo llamó reflejo digital, nombre con el que se lo conoce también en la literatura, y lo localizó en el 6º y 7° segmento cervical, interpretándolo como un movimiento de defensa, análogo al Babinski, que se da en enfermedades "reversibles e irreversibles" del sistema nervioso. Nosotros, por indicación del Profesor de Neurocirugía Doctor Julio II. Lyonnet lo hemos incorporado al examen neurológico habitual desde hace unos tres años.

Published: February 2024

Coronary heart disease (CHD), commonly called coronary artery disease, refers to pathological processes that affect the coronary arteries, usually caused by atherosclerosis. One of the factors that influence the occurrence of atherosclerosis is the influence of people's lifestyles, the level of awareness of early detection of coronary heart disease, and the wrong dietary arrangements that cause a high risk of coronary heart disease in the community. This community service aims to increase public knowledge about managing and preventing coronary heart disease. The method used is education using media and early detection through health checks that can affect the occurrence of coronary heart disease, such as blood pressure, blood sugar values, and cholesterol. Knowledge of the risks of PKJ and early detection is expected to increase public awareness. It can be concluded that the activities of providing public education and early detection with health checks produce output that there is an increase in knowledge. Education related to coronary heart disease and health checks is expected to help conduct routine monitoring by educating families about early signs and prevention of coronary heart disease

Published: February 2024

Public health is a vital aspect in the development of a country. One of the key factors affecting health is balanced nutrition. Despite this, awareness of the importance of nutrition is often low in many societies, especially in developing countries. To overcome this challenge, balanced nutrition education programs have become one of the effective strategies. This program aims to increase public knowledge and awareness about the importance of balanced nutrition and encourage behavior change towards a healthier diet. Program implementation methods include identification of needs, development of appropriate educational materials, program implementation involving various related parties, periodic evaluation, and program adjustments as needed. The results of this program include increased knowledge of community nutrition, changes in healthier eating behaviors, and improved overall health and well-being of the community. The success of balanced nutrition education programs shows that this approach is effective in raising people's nutrition awareness and encouraging positive behavior change. However, sustainability and innovation development challenges still need to be addressed to achieve broader and sustainable impact in the long term. With strong commitment and cross-sector cooperation, balanced nutrition education programs have the potential to significantly improve the quality of life and welfare of the community

Published: February 2024

Polarization reversal and charge trapping under imprint in HfO2-based ferroelectric FET (FeFET) are studied by charge component analysis. By decomposing the effects of spontaneous polarization and charge trapping using the transient current measurement with triangle waves in both metal–ferroelectric–metal (MFM) and metal–ferroelectric–insulator-Si (MFIS) capacitors, we found that V
th under imprint in MFIS is determined by both coercive voltage (V
c) shift due to imprint and the subsequent modulation of charge trapping at the same polarization. In addition, a comparison of V
c shift due to imprint of MFM and MFIS was performed. V
c shift of MFIS was found to be in good agreement with that of MFM. This implies that the imprint in FeFET can be predicted from MFM even though FeFET has a complex structure with an interfacial layer.

Published: February 2024

The performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been greatly influenced by the surface morphology and orientational growth of organometal halide perovskite, which can be controlled by buffer layers located underneath the perovskite layer. In this study, organic semiconductors such as rubrene and pentacene were selected as the buffer layer materials. We deposited CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) layers by the laser evaporation method onto the rubrene/pentacene bilayer, pentacene single layer, and rubrene single layer, respectively. The MAPbI3-based solar cell with the rubrene/pentacene bilayer showed a better cell performance compared to other PSCs with rubrene and pentacene single buffer layers. The better PSC performance can be presumably attributed to an orientational growth behavior and a smoother surface of MAPbI3 thin film on the rubrene/pentacene bilayer, as well as a more efficient hole transport in the organic bilayer.

Published: February 2024

Sm-doped TiO2 thin films were synthesized by pulsed laser deposition. The luminescence and donor-generation properties of thin films annealed at various temperatures were investigated. The results showed that Sm-related emissions occurred in the temperature range 500 °C–800 °C. The donor densities in this temperature range were two orders of magnitude higher than that of the undoped TiO2 thin film. The effect of annealing within the temperature window indicates a local fine structural transition of the ligands around Sm3+ ions from T

Published: February 2024

A micromixer based on a surface acoustic wave (SAW) has attracted a great deal of attention because of their ability to mix liquids and multiphase flows with very high mixing efficiency. However, since microfluidic channels cloud only be formed directly on the piezoelectric substrate in conventional SAW devices, contamination problems have arisen. In this study, by placing a solution that propagates sound waves between the microfluidic channel and the SAW excitation substrate, vibrations caused by SAWs are propagated into the micro-well to form a micro-mixing system. This system can provide a micromixer that is removable, replaceable, and contamination-free.
