THE GENESIS OF ISLAMIC SCIENCE: THE CONTRIBUTION OF CLASSICAL INDIAN SCIENCE REVISITED
Authors: Bakar Osman
Published: September 2024

The main purpose of this article is to highlight the historical fact that classical Indian civilisation played a significant role in the early civilisational growth of Islam during the three centuries under study, particularly in the field of philosophical-scientific knowledge. The Indian role is now acknowledged to be far more extensive than what many people thought and realised. Quite clearly, the Indian contribution helped pave the way for Islam’s grand knowledge synthesis or its golden age in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Unfortunately, in the Western-centric narrative of the history of science, the role of classical Indian science in the early development of Islamic civilisation was downplayed, with disproportionate prominence given to the role of Greek science. As a result, many Easterners today – Hindus and Muslims included – are unaware of the real extent of the classical Indian role in question. A significant facet of this early civilisational growth of Islam was knowledge transfer from the advanced cultures of the time, of which India was a good example. Rather interestingly, this knowledge transfer appeared to be widely known to the Muslims of the time. According to Joseph Mazur, “by the tenth century, there were numerous Arabic texts on the Indian numerals.” Another notable facet is knowledge organisation, which Muslims consciously pursued in the light of the distinct worldview of the new religion and civilisation. I will now explain what I mean exactly by the term knowledge transfer and the term knowledge organisation that I am using in this article. I will also explain the classical Indian connection to the knowledge activities that were going on in the young Islamic civilisation.
ISLAM IN MODERN MALAY LITERATURE: EXAMINING THE ROLE AND POSITION OF “STORY” ACCORDING TO PERSURATAN BARU
Authors: Abdul Rani Mohd. Zariat , Ismail Muhd. Zulkifli
Published: September 2024

This article discusses the synchronisation of Persuratan Baru’s idea on the role and position of stories in literature to Islam. Persuratan Baru (PB) is a literary notion proposed by Mohd. Affandi Hassan as an alternative to resolve the confusion of knowledge in modern Malay literature. To this end, PB upholds Islam particularly its core doctrine Tawhid as its conceptual framework which recognises the Qur’an and Prophetic Sunnah as legitimate sources of knowledge. Among the major ideas of PB is “Ilmu-Cerita” (Knowledge-Story) which prioritises “Ilmu” (Knowledge) and subordinates “Cerita” (Story) to “Ilmu.” More important is Affandi Hassan’s statement that his idea of “Ilmu-Cerita” is indeed Islamic as it is inspired by the Qur’an. No critical research has examined the synchronisation of PB idea and “Ilmu-Cerita” to Islam. This article is structured to achieve two objectives. Firstly, to discuss PB’s idea on “Ilmu-Cerita” as expounded by Affandi Hassan in his writings. Secondly, to examine the synchronisation of the idea to Islam by referring to authoritative (mu’tabar) Arabic commentaries of the Qur’an. This study applies a textual analysis approach that outlines two levels of reading procedure, i.e., descriptive reading and analytical reading. The study reveals that in PB’s perspective the aim of literary writing is to convey ilmu (knowledge), and therefore cerita (story) functions as a tool in conveying knowledge. Close reading on the mu’tabar Arabic commentaries of the Qur’an reveals that stories in the Qur’an seek to convey knowledge, i.e., good lessons that benefit mankind in everyday life. In this context that stories in the Islamic perspective serve as a tool to convey knowledge. With this understanding, PB’s idea of “Knowledge-Story” is found in synchronisation with the teaching of Islam.
AFGHAN AND PAKISTANI TALIBAN: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THEIR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY AND RELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONS
Authors: Khan Muhammad Kalim Ullah , Bakar Osman
Published: September 2024

The main aim of this article is to discuss several facets of the socio-political phenomena known under the general name of Taliban that swept Afghanistan and embroiled Pakistan in a regional conflict since the last decade of twentieth century. The focus of the discussion is on the emergence of Afghan and Pakistani Taliban as two separate and distinct movements, their organizational developments, and their similarities and differences in terms of political ideology, religious affiliations, and relationships with Pakistan. The organizational and political-religious transformation of the Taliban is examined in this article in three historical phases. First, the political-religious background in Afghanistan that led to the formation of the Taliban in 1994 and its rise to power in 1996 only two years after its existence as an Islamic movement. Second, the seven-year period 1994-2001 during which the Taliban ruled Afghanistan until they were ousted from power following the invasion of the country by the US-led coalition forces a month after the September 11 (2001) tragic event in New York. This article examines the transformation of the Taliban as a movement and as a government ruling in the name of Islam during this period. And third, the twenty-year period when the Taliban as opposition forces waged an insurgency against the US-installed puppet regime that successfully ended with them regaining power in August 2021. The article concludes with some remarks on the possible directions in which the Taliban could be heading in the post-2021 era.

Sustainable forest management implies the necessity to maintain and uphold the balance between the growing demand for forest ecosystem services and the capabilities present. This issue motivates the development of ways to include various ecosystem services in the forest ecosystem planning and management system, taking into account social, political, environmental, and economic contexts. One of the effective tools for ecosystem service management is imitation modelling, which allows assessing the decision-making risks and consequences. This raises the scientific problem of substantiating possible alternative scenarios for future forested area development for subsequent simulation. This article is aimed at analysing the approaches to creating scenarios for the development of a forest area for local-level imitation modelling and testing a new method based on the development of the existing approaches to solving this problem. In its first part, modern research analysis in the field of imitation scenario development is presented; the second one proposes a new method for compiling scenarios, created within the framework of the POLYFORES project, and also presents the results of its testing at three model sites located in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the Republic of Karelia, and the Moscow Region. For the forest plots of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, four scenarios for forest area development have been created, aimed at obtaining benefits: 1 – from timber harvesting, 2 – from recreational ecosystem services and food forest resources, 3 – from regulating ecosystem services, 4 – both from timber harvesting, under the conditions of intensified forest growing, and from regulating ecosystem services. For forest plots in the Republic of Karelia, the first scenario describes the situation of meeting the demand for wood, while also preserving the biodiversity and regulating ecosystem services; the second and third scenarios take into account the increased demand for wood, with low and high priorities for environmental conservation. For the forest plots of the Moscow Region, only two scenarios were relevant, with the increasing need of citizens for recreational ecosystem services, and the biodiversity preservation priority in management decision-making either remaining low or increasing. For each scenario, forestry activities corresponding to the management objectives have been developed. The proposed scenarios can be used to obtain information about the impact of various management decisions on providing forest ecosystem services.

A comparative assessment of the processes of the initial stages of decomposition of plant residues (pine needles, spruce needles, leaves of boreal shrubs, moss thalli) in lichen-shrub pine forests and shrub-green-moss spruce forests formed under natural conditions at the northern limit of distribution was carried out. The characteristics of the litterfall initial composition, the rate of decomposition, and changes in the chemical composition of plant residues in the process of destruction caused by the forest type were studied. The higher initial content of Corg in the plant tissues of pine forests is associated with favourable lighting conditions under the forest canopy, while the high content of Mn in the tissues of ground cover plants in spruce forests is due to the direct influence of spruce needle litterfall rich in this nutrient. The results of the study clearly demonstrated that the forest type has a significant impact both on the initial quality of the litterfall of the same plant species and on the rate of decomposition: in the spruce forest, spruce needles and lingonberry leaves with a higher content of nutrients (Mg, Mn, P) and narrow ratios of elements (C:N, C:P) were characterised by more active decomposition processes. However, green moss litter, despite its high quality in spruce forests, decomposed more actively in pine forests, which may be due to a large amount of precipitation in pine forests. Thus, differences in the rate of decomposition of plant residues are influenced by a combination of the plant material quality, temperature conditions, and precipitation amount associated with the forest type.

MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) has proven its efficacy and safety for the treatment of essential tremor (ET) and/or Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, having a cardiac pacemaker has been considered an exclusion criterion for the use of MRgFUS. Only 2 patients with a cardiac pacemaker treated with MRgFUS have been previously reported, both treated using 1.5-T MRI. In this paper, the authors present their experience performing 3-T MRgFUS thalamotomy in 4 patients with an implanted cardiac pacemaker. Treatments were uneventful regarding complications or severe side effects. MRgFUS using 3-T MRI was found to be an efficient and safe treatment for ET and/or PD in patients with an MRI-compatible pacemaker.

OBJECTIVE

MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is an incisionless neurosurgical treatment for patients with medically refractory essential tremor and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease. A low skull density ratio (SDR) < 0.40 is a known risk factor for treatment failure. The aim of this study was to identify useful sonication strategies for patients with a low SDR < 0.40 by modifying the standard sonication protocol using maximum high-energy sonication while minimizing the number of sonications.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively analyzed the effects of modified MRgFUS sonication on low-SDR tremor patients. All patients underwent head CT scans to calculate their SDR. The SDR threshold for MRgFUS thalamotomy was 0.35. The patients in the early series underwent the standard sonication protocol targeting the ventral intermediate nucleus contralateral to the treated hand side. The patients with a low SDR < 0.40 in the late series underwent a modified sonication protocol, in which the number of alignment sonications was minimized and high-energy treatment sonication (> 36,000 J) was used. The authors evaluated the lesion volume the following day and tremor improvement and adverse events 3 and 12 months after the procedure. The sonication patterns between low-SDR patients treated using different sonication protocols were examined using Fisher’s exact test. ANOVA was used to examine the lesion volume and tremor improvement in high- and low-SDR patients treated using different sonication protocols.

RESULTS

Among 41 patients with an SDR < 0.40, 14 underwent standard sonication and 27 underwent modified sonication. Fewer alignment sonications and high-energy treatment sonications were used in the modified sonication group compared with the standard group (p < 0.001). The duration of modified sonication was significantly shorter than that of standard sonication (p < 0.001). The lesion volume and tremor improvement significantly differed among the high- and low-SDR groups with different sonication protocols (p < 0.001). Low-SDR patients treated using modified sonication protocols had comparable lesion volume and tremor improvement to the high-SDR group. The modified sonication protocol did not significantly increase adverse intraprocedural and postprocedural events.

CONCLUSIONS

Minimizing alignment sonications and applying high-energy sonication in early treatment help to create an optimal lesion volume and control tremor in low-SDR patients.

Erythema Multiforme Major (EMM) is a rare hypersensitivity reaction that primarily affects the skin and mucosa, typically self-limiting. This case discusses a patient who developed severe EMM lesions after consuming nimesulide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), for abdominal discomfort. Patient was admitted to the hospital, the drug was discontinued, and supportive measures such as pain management and fluid replacement were initiated. This case, being the first to identify nimesulide as a possible trigger for EMM, aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on this topic. It emphasizes the need for vigilance and swift intervention for unusual drug reactions.
Experience of Visiting an Urban Slum: A Medical Student’s Perspective
Authors: Bajracharya Prabuddha
Published: September 2024

Urban slums are densely populated areas characterized by inadequate housing, poor sanitation, and limited access to essential services. As part of the MBBS curriculum at Patan Academy of Health Sciences (PAHS), we visited an urban slum in Balkhu to assess the community's health-seeking behaviour, water facilities, and education. This article highlights the significance of such postings in equipping medical students with critical skills, including empathy, teamwork, and leadership, necessary for addressing the socio-economic determinants of health. The experience provided an invaluable opportunity to engage with real-world challenges, fostering a deeper understanding of the healthcare needs of underserved populations. These insights are vital to medical students in shaping a compassionate and socially responsible approach in their practice.

Introduction: Emergency departments serve as the initial point of contact for patients with a wide range of conditions. Not all patients visiting get admitted to the hospital. The admission rate varies from 20% in the United States to 40.83% in Nepal. Given the variability in these results across different regions, there is a need to better understand the admission rates from the Emergency Department.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted after obtaining ethical approval( Reference Number: 58 (6-11)E2 081/082) in the Emergency Department of a tertiary health care center. Retrospective data was collected from the data register. The data from April 2023 to April 2024 was collected. A sample size of 222 was calculated and convenience sampling was done. Demographic details like age, sex, and data regarding admission status were collected. Data was collected in MS Excel and was analyzed using JASP software. Results: Out of 222 patients that presented to the emergency department, 53 (23.87%)(18.26-29.47,95 % Confidence Interval) were admitted to the ward or intensive care unit of the hospital, whereas 167 (75.23) got discharged, 1 (0.45%) was brought dead and 1 (0.45%) expired. The median age of patients was 43 (IQR: 26-62). The admission rate of females was 20 (17.24%), whereas for males it was 33 (31.13%).Conclusions: The prevalence of admission of patients visiting the emergency department was higher than similar US based studies.

Modular nanotransporters capable of cause intracellular degradation of the N-protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in A549 cells with temporary expression of this protein fused with the fluorescent protein mRuby3
Authors: Khramtsov Y. V. , Ulasov A. V. , Lupanova T. N. , Georgiev G. P. , Sobolev A. S.
Published: September 2024

Modular nanotransporters (MNTs) have been created containing an antibody-like molecule, monobody, to the N-protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, as well as an amino acid sequence that attracts the E3 ligase Keap1 (E3BP). This MNT also included a site for cleavage of the E3BP monobody from the MNT in acidic endocytic compartments. It was shown that this cleavage by the endosomal protease cathepsin B leads to a 2.7-fold increase in the affinity of the E3BP monobody for the N-protein. Using A549 cells with transient expression of the N-protein fused with the fluorescent protein mRuby3, it was shown that incubation with MNT leads to a significant decrease in mRuby3 fluorescence. It is assumed that the developed MNTs can serve as the basis for the creation of new antiviral drugs against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Published: September 2024

A spore-pollen research of the contents of the gastrointestinal tracts and sediments containing frozen mummies of the fossil Don hare, discovered in the sediments of the Upper Pleistocene ice complex in the Verkhoyansk region of Yakutia, was carried out for the first time. Radiocarbon dating (C14) revealed that the found hares lived during the Karginian Interstadial of the Late Pleistocene, 32.5 thousand years ago (calibrated date). As a result, the understanding of the extinct Lepus tanaiticus ecology has been expanded: this species lived in cold steppes dominated by xerophytic communities, as well as in grass-forb and sedge-forb meadows; unlike the modern mountain hare L. timidus, which feeds during winter time mainly on branches and bark of woody plants and shrubs, the diet of Don hares in winter previously consisted of herbaceous plants.

Published: September 2024

Skin melanoma (SM) refers to malignant skin tumors, originates from melanocytes, has an extremely aggressive course with the spread of hematogenous and lymphogenic metastases. In addition to immunotherapy regimens, targeted drugs can be successfully used to treat patients with SM and BRAF mutations, detected in about half of the cases. In recent years, the arsenal of targeted therapy has expanded due to the introduction into clinical practice of the third combination of BRAF and MEK inhibitors — encorafenib and binimetinib. Given the availability of several combined targeted therapy modes in the oncologist's armamentarium, a logical question arises: is there any reason to consider that one of the combinations takes precedence over the other? How significant are the differences in the toxicity spectrum? On what basis should the oncologist choose a specific regimen in clinical practice? The article presents data on the efficacy and safety of existing targeted combinations obtained in phase III studies, as well as the results of recent published meta-analyses. The treatment regimens are characterized in terms of response level, frequency and nature of adverse events.

Published: September 2024

Firm internal resources have been found to influence business survival and profitability during times of crisis. This study aims to examine the relationship between corporate branding and sales revenue of multinational companies during COVID-19 pandemic. This study is based on a quantitative approach and draws on a sample of 74 global companies from various industries that the financial times ranked as prospering during the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary data were collected from the annual financial statements of sampled companies from 2019 to 2021 and analysed using multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that the relationship between corporate branding and sales revenue is positive, albeit statistically insignificant. These findings indicate that while corporate branding may not have a significant effect on sales revenue during economic downturn, it is vital for firms to embrace corporate branding as a resource to enhance sales revenue sustainability and thus improve profitability during crisis times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings have important implication for branding managers and strategic managers in understanding the role of corporate branding in sustaining competitive advantage. Also, firms that were not prospering during COVID-19 crisis may include the investment in corporate branding in their crisis management plan and maximising firm success in the face of different environmental conditions. The results may offer an agenda for further research.

Politikatudományi közhely, hogy a ma hegemón helyzetben lévő, magát „illiberálisnak” nevező politikai hatalom felemelkedése számos tényezőre vezethető vissza. Ez az írás ezek közül az egyik, eddig kevéssé vizsgált okot, a 2010-ig uralkodó liberális jogi diszkurzust elemzi. A tanulmányban rövid eszmetörténeti áttekintés keretében bemutatom a liberális jogfelfogás hegemóniájának kialakulását a 19. század végétől kezdve, majd annak gyakorlati következményeit 1990 és 2010 között. A következtetésem az, hogy a liberális jogfelfogás hozzájárult annak a meggyőződésnek a kialakulásához, amely szerint a semleges jogi intézmények kizárólag a jogra támaszkodva képesek megvédeni az állampolgárok jogait és a demokratikus jogállami működést minden politikai támadással szemben. Az e mítoszban hívő demokraták nem vették figyelembe fel a jogi döntéshozatalt befolyásoló szociológiai (elsősorban a személyekben rejlő) körülményeket, és az illiberális erők képesek voltak kihasználni naivitásukat.

Además del catellano, kichwa y shuar son 12 los idiomas indígenas hablados en Ecuador. El Awapit, el idioma de la Nacionalidad Awá, es uno de ellos. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el grado de vitalidad de la lengua Awapit en el centro Awá El Baboso asentado en la provincia del Carchi. Para la recolección de información se llevaron a cabo conversaciones abiertas con miembros del centro, se utilizó un cuestionario socilingüístico y se administró una entrevista semiestructurada al docente a cargo de la escuela local. Para establecer el diagnóstico de la lengua Awapit en el centro objeto de este estudio se utilizaron los seis factores identificados y descritos en el documento Vitalidad Lingüística y Peligro publicado por la UNESCO. Los datos recogidos revelaron que solo un grupo reducido de personas hablan Awapit en el Centro Awá El Baboso. La migración a comunidades hispanas en búsqueda de educación, mejores condiciones de vida o salud se encuentran entre las causas para la pérdida del idioma. Además, el uso de Awapit se limita a interacciones que mayormente se llevan a cabo entre los pocos hablantes de este idioma y los miembros de sus familias. En reuniones sociales y deportivas prevalece el castellano, mientras en que en reuniones de la Confederación de Centros Awá del Ecuador, el castellano y Awapit son los idiomas usados por los participantes. Se vienen tomando acciones en favor de la enseñanza del idioma a los niños de la escuela local. Sin embargo, los resultados podrán ser evaluados en los años venideros. Se concluye que en el Centro Awá del Baboso la lengua Awapit se encuentra en peligro crítico,su uso se restringe a un limitado número de dominios y la respuesta a nuevas formas de comunicación es mínima. Es importante seguir tomando acciones en favor del revitalizar la lengua Awapit en este centro de otra manera al corto plazo la lengua podría extinguirse y con ella la cultura Awá. Para el efecto, se incluye como recomendaciones cuatro acciones que de ser implementadas en el centro coadyubarán en el proceso de revitalización de la lengua Awapit en el Centro Awá el Baboso.

El entrenamiento de la fuerza reactiva posibilita que el futbolista realice cambios bruscos de dirección con el dominio del balón, y por ende acercarse lo más posible a portería en donde deben colocar el balón como gol. En tal sentido, la potenciación de dicha capacidad física es vital para el incremento sostenido el rendimiento deportivo en los futbolistas. Por ello, el objetivo de la investigación es potenciar la fuerza reactiva en futbolistas juveniles de la Liga Valle de los Chillos a partir de la aplicación de ejercicios pliométricos.  Basado en un muestreo intencional, la investigación seleccionará la población total de estudio del equipo de fútbol de la Liga Valle de los Chillos (25 atletas), categoría juvenil (17,5 años), sexo masculino, implicando igualmente en la investigación a tres entrenadores que participan en su proceso de dirección del entrenamiento deportivo. Una vez realizado el diagnóstico inicial de la investigación, se implementó varios ejercicios pliométricos en tres fases. Se aplicó tres pruebas de valoración del rendimiento deportivo relacionadas con la fuerza reactiva (salto sin impulso, salto vertical, y marcaje y control del balón) en dos momentos. La comparación de los datos obtenidos en dos momentos en las pruebas mencionadas evidenció mejoras significativas a favor del postest, demostrando una mejora notable en la capacidad física de fuerza reactiva, cumplimentándose el objetivo de la investigación.

Due to technological progress, the increasingly expensive oil, and the search for an improvement in transportation, a process to which every element that is used in a value or supply chain is subjected, it is important to identify how the charging infrastructure is advancing. For electric vehicles, this analysis will be carried out in the Metropolitan District of Quito, the Ecuadorian capital, because it is the most populated city in the country and has serious mobility complications, where, in addition to a large number of vehicles, the cost of park maintenance automotive, fuel and pollution determine the need to use renewable forms of energy in transport, so through a bibliographic and comparative analysis it is determined that the infrastructure that the city currently has is not enough to encourage the use of vehicles In addition, there are not enough fast-charging charging stations and the existing ones are located mainly in shopping centers, being difficult to access and in case a quick charge is needed, the two charging stations willing to do so belong to Empresa Eléctrica Quito and they are located on Av. Mariana de Jesús, the headquarters of the EEQ, and on Av. Morán Valverde in the south of the city.

Objective: Possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) is one of the leading causes of infant mortality. Based on WHO multi-centric study, signs of PSBI are categorized into: signs of clinical severe infection (CSI) and signs of critical illness (CI). Assessment of signs of PSBI helps to divide infants into risk groups for appropriate management and prognostication. This study aimed to assess risk stratification of signs of PSBI among young infants (0- 59 days of age) by correlating signs of PSBI with mortality. Methods: In this hospital-based prospective cohort study, 220 young infants with signs of PSBI were recruited. Infants were categorized into two: those with signs of CSI and those with signs of CI. Correlation of each sign of PSBI was done with mortality. Time to death was assessed by using the Kaplan Meier survival analysis. Results: 220 infants were analyzed for outcomes. Signs of CSI including fever, fast breathing, poor feeding, and movement only on stimulation had a low fatality rate; however low body temperature and severe chest pain was associated with high mortality of 20% and 9%, respectively. CI signs – convulsion, no movement at all, and no feeding at all were associated with high death rates of 14%, 63.7%, and 47.4% respectively. The majority of deaths were occurred within 48 hours of presentation. Conclusions: Mortality was high in infants with low body temperature, chest pain, or any sign of CI. Risk stratification based on clinical signs could help prioritize infants in need for urgent intervention and thus decrease infant mortality.
Integrating Rationality and Mysticism in Religious Education: An Educational Perspective on Islamic and Indigenous Java-Sundanese Traditions in Indonesia

Published: September 2024

This study explores the educational perspectives within Islam and the Java-Sundanese Indigenous Religion (Agama Djawa Sunda/ADS), focusing on the interplay between rationality and mysticism. Employing a qualitative approach, this study involves literature reviews on the core beliefs of both religions and in-depth interviews with key figures of ADS. The findings of this study reveal that both Islam and ADS incorporate elements of rationality and mysticism. In ADS, mysticism is reflected in traditional practices such as weddings and circumcisions, while in Islam, mysticism is found among groups such as Salafis and Puritanists, who rely on strict textual interpretations, often leading to radicalism. Conversely, the rational aspect of Islam is reflected in progressive interpretations by Islamic scholars, while ADS rationality is demonstrated through its teachings on nationalism and multiculturalism. The distinction between rationality and mysticism is not clear-cut but rather complementary. This study aims to strengthen the religious education curriculum by introducing different religions and incorporating both rational and mystical aspects a balanced proportion.

Indonesia, as a multicultural nation with diverse cultures, ethnicities, races, and religions, emphasizes the importance of tolerance and mutual respect among its people to prevent conflicts. One approach to achieving this is by enhancing religious moderation values. In the context of elementary schools and madrasah ibtidaiyah, the Pancasila Education (P5) and Pancasila and Religious Education (P5-PPRA) programs play a central role. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the P5 and P5-PPRA programs in improving religious moderation. This study employs a quantitative approach with data collection through questionnaires. Respondents consisted of 100 students and 8 teachers at Kanisius and Madrasah Ibtidaiyah during the 2023/2024 academic year. The data were validated and analyzed using the Paired Sample T-test. The analysis results showed a significant value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between P5 (at Elementary Schools) and PPRA (in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah) in enhancing religious moderation. The average score of P5 is 74.30, while P5-PPRA is 87.20, with an average difference of 12.91. This indicates that the P5-PPRA program is more effective in strengthening religious moderation in schools. This finding suggests that students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah exhibit higher tolerance and appreciation for diversity compared to students at Kanisius schools. These findings can be utilized by policymakers and educators to improve religious moderation programs by adopting and integrating P5-PPRA elements, thereby creating a more inclusive and tolerant learning environment.
