Paradigma Integrasi-Interkoneksi Islamisasi Ilmu Dalam Pandangan Amin Abdullah
Authors: Tajuddin Tabrani , Awwaliyah Neny Muthiatul
Published: May 2021

Tulisan ini diawali dengan perumusan wacana seputar perkembangan dalam dunia ilmu pengetahuan. Sejauh ini gambaran yang menjadi wacana dalam perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan terkungkung disebabkan rujukan secara parsial dalam memperoleh suatu ilmu. Pengekotomian ilmu pengetahuan umum dan agama menjadi sebuah problem di era kontemporer. Pemisahan ini akan berdampak pada ketidaksesuaian antara perumusan wacana ilmu pengetahuan dengan perkembangan kebudayaan masyarakat. Hal ini akan membuat ilmu pengetahuan sebagai solusi untuk menjawab persoalan masyarakat menjadi mandeg. Dalam perkembangannya dibutuhkan terobosan baru yang lebih segar dalam menghadapi tantangan zaman. Dari kalangan cendekiawan muslim misalnya telah banyak melakukan upaya untuk menemukan titik kesesuaian ilmu pengetahuan sains dan agama. Selain itu pengadopsian ilmu barat secara teoritik disisi lain justru akan mengubah struktur nilai dasar dalam ajaran Islam.Dalam era yang berkemajuan. Dibutuhkan sebuah terobosan baru yang sifatnya tidak hanya mengulang-ulang teori lama, mengkritisi dan merekontruksi ulang tapi mengembangkan sehingga sejalan dengan zamannya. Olehnya itudalam bahasan makalah ini akan mengantarkan pembaca untuk melihat transimisi keilmuan yang berangkat dari normative-historis yang berfokus pada teks sebagai kerangka dasar kepada paradigma integratif-Interkonektif.

VAKIFLAR AND GUILDS AS AN INSTITUTION OF COMPLEMENTARITY
Authors: DEMİR Ali
Published: May 2021

In Ottoman Empire cosmology was integrated with theology in the religious orders. Temporally and socially their descent goes hand in hand with the rise of the guilds. This coexistence of vakıflar and guild explained with the ideal type method of Weber with the two different type of social coordination, which are integration and inclusion. An integration based on the community norms could be achieved by generalizing the interest of the ethical and/or ethnic leader in vakıflar. On the other hand, inclusion within an organization of an instrumental rationality is expected less from historical personalities and more from the modern legal system on the basis of the contract. Within the Ottoman Empire, the most crucial actors of the transition from a community based on vakıflar to a society based on the symbolic communication inside guilds are the ayans. Ayans would need both integration through norms and inclusion through power and money. The coordination of these two types of social action is called complementarity. Following an examination of the preconditions of modernity, the article offers a theoretical frame for these change of form on the institutional level.
Are General Practitioners’ Imaging Requests Indicated for Diagnostic or Clinical Management Purposes? A Review of the Literature
Authors: Bonnici Georgiana Farrugia
Published: May 2021

Requests for useful imaging investigations are primarily those whose results, if positive or negative, will add confidence to the referrers‟ diagnoses or aid in any future clinical management plans. Hence, referrers need to be aware if they are about to repeat investigations that have already been recently done; if they intend to undertake investigations when their results are unlikely to affect the patients‟ diagnoses or clinical management; if they are seeking to investigate too early, if they are about to choose the wrong imaging modality, or if they are failing to provide all the appropriate clinical information that seeks to address the clinical questions that need to be answered. This literature review has highlighted several important aspects that are already known with respect to the radiation dose justification and optimisation. Moreover, it has evaluated the current main issues relating to the physicians‟ awareness in radiation safety and imaging referral processes, as well as the appropriateness behind requesting ionizing imaging investigations. Certain gaps and conflicts in the literature were also identified.

Published: May 2021

Considerando a relevância da covid-19 na atualidade, este trabalho teve como objetivo apontar as principais drogas que se tornaram alvo de estudo e uso clínico no tratamento da doença. Foi utilizada a metodologia de revisão narrativa da literatura sobre os tratamentos até então testados para a covid-19, onde se reuniu os estudos de maior relevância e robustez sobre cada medicamento. Das drogas avaliadas, algumas apresentaram influência positiva no tempo de cura e diminuição dos sintomas causados pela doença. Dentre os medicamentos estudados, o remdesivir foi o de maior destaque, reduzindo o tempo de permanecia na UTI e também a taxa de mortalidade. A heparina, apresentou grande influência positiva ligada aos casos com tendência ao desenvolvimento de trombose. A dexametasona demonstrou poder de redução da chance de mortalidade e a ivermectina atuou na redução do tempo de duração da doença. Outras drogas como Azitromicina e Hidroxicloroquina não se mostraram eficazes nos estudos de maior relevância e não foram encontrados dados que justificassem seu uso para o tratamento da Covid-19.  Apesar da pouca quantidade de dados que comprovem seu efeito contra a Covid-19, os interferons apresentaram potencial positivo e   reduziram o tempo de permanência dos pacientes no hospital. Até o momento, nenhum medicamento específico foi aprovado para tratar a covid-19. O tratamento da doença se concentra principalmente nos cuidados de suporte. Contudo, nossa pesquisa bibliográfica evidenciou que alguns protocolos medicamentosos apresentaram um desfecho positivo quando comparado ao tratamento sem a utilização de nenhum fármaco.

Development strategies are judged by results. Over the years, Africa’s political leadership adopted and pursued various development initiatives to translate the immense natural resources of the continent into prosperity for the benefits of her teeming population. Unfortunately, the outcomes of these efforts have been abysmal. This study assessed the achievement of the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) in curtailing poverty in Nigeria from 1999-2015. The paper adopted the theory of the postcolonial state of Africa to explain the increasing rate of poverty in Nigeria, despite the NEPAD poverty reduction ambition. The study is anchored on documentary methods of data collection. The paper concludes that genuine poverty reduction can only be realized when Nigeria political leadership sincerely invests in her human resources in terms of genuine empowerment of the populace through skill acquisition.

One of the contemporary social Issues which are posing serious threats to the attainment of a vibrant sustainable development in Nigeria is the child trafficking and it is rapidly spreading like a wild fire cutting across the geopolitical zones of the country which are for example, the north-west, north-central, north-east, south-west, south-south as well as the south-east. The trafficking of the child can be considered as a crime against humanity. This is however in view of the fact that the article titled The Fight Against the Despicable Scourges of Child Trafficking for Sustainable Development in Nigeria: The Role of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and other Related Matters examined a plethora of factors which were considered as the critical causes of child trafficking in Nigeria, their actual consequences and the way forward for a laudable sustainable development in the country. It was observed that some of the causes of child trafficking identified in the article were for example, the poverty, illiteracy and ignorance, divorce, separation, inadequate social security and also, lack of adequate community support and policing. However, with regard to the consequences of child trafficking in Nigeria, clear explanations were offered. These comprised for example, the hindrance of the physical, psychological and the mental development of the child; loss of parental love and care of the child; poor health condition of the child, lack of access to quality educational development of the child, the juvenile delinquency and other crimes and lastly, the withdrawal of foreign aids. However, the article was underpinned by a theoretical framework known as the Parson’s famous AGIL SCHEME which was rooted in the structural functionalism, a classical sociological perspective. The article also contained the conclusion and the recommendations.

The major objective of this study is to examine the effects of financial corruption on national development in Nigeria (1999-2017). The continuous outcry of the citizens on the evils of corruption and its consequences on national development motivated this study. Data were drawn chiefly from primary sources and subjected to statistical computations of scaling and percentages. The major findings of the study revealed that to a large extent corruption leads to poverty in Nigeria. Also to a large extent increase in oil revenues do not translate to poverty reduction in Nigeria. The study equally, found that to a large extent the oil industry causes underdevelopment and increase poverty in Nigeria. This study therefore advances that stiffer sanctions must be imposed on those found guilty of corrupt practices including death sentences. This will serve as deterrent to others. Since corruption is a relationship of ‘give and take’, both the giver and the receiver must be prosecuted as well. There is the need to strengthen institutions such as the civil service, parliament and the judiciary, which in turn will create interlocking systems of oversight and self-regulation. All of these institutions have to be free of corruption themselves and active players in the fight against corruption and good governance should be entrenched.
