Authors: Gönener Demet , Görak Gülay
Published: June 2023

This study was planned to assess the association between the sources causing anxiety and whether not the school-age children one informed about the hospital and their illnesses. The study group included the children that were hospitalized because of acute illness, from February 96 to September 96, at Ondokuz Mayıs University Practice and Research Hospital, Department of Pediatr, Sampling group consisted of 60 randomly chosen children:30 of them were control group and 30 were case group. Data were taken by applying the questionnaire that assesses the children is personal data and whether or not they have been informed about the hospital and their illnesses and the form of which the validity and reliability have previously been tested of sources of thought that cause anxiety. Data were evaluated using percentage, yates correction, fisher exact, chi square(x2) and paired Sample t test statistics. It was seen there is no difference between the case and control groups according to age, sex, diagnosis, family structure, living area and social securities. It was shown that grade averages and standart deviations of the case group before and after education. The difference was found to be very significant. It was observed that there was a positive progress, upon giving the education, on the diseases, whether they had knowledge of their drugs and the misgivings about the hospital as compared to the state before giving education.

Published: June 2023

Cessation of smoking often induces hyperphagia and weight gain associated with decreased energy expenditure. Plasma leptin levels and adipose tissue mRNA correlate with mass of adipose tissue, and represent important signals for registration of total body energy status. In this study 19 smokers (13 male, 6 female) referring to the smoking cessation clinic were randomly assigned to control group (n:6), nicotine patch group (n:6), nicotine patch+fluoxetine group (n:7). Plasma leptin levels and, body mass indices (BMI) were determined before and 3, 6 weeks after cessation of smoking. A significant increase in BMI (p: 0.01) and in plasma leptin (p: 0.02) were observed in the 3rd and 6th weeks compared to basal levels. The univariate analysis of variance which explained 66.6% variance (p: 0.007) in body weight between 0 and 3 weeks, has indicated nicotine patch+ fluoxetine therapy, the difference in leptin levels, and difference in exhaled carbon monoxide levels as the significant contributors. The difference in body weight, study groups, and age at time of starting smoking were the significant contributors to 55.4% variance (p: 0.027) in leptin levels between 0 and 3 weeks. Plasma leptin increased together with body weight and nicotine patch+fluoxetine theraphy vs. controls. Plasma leptin concentrations have increased after cessation of cigarette smoking in vivo. Fluoxetine has an enhancing effect on leptin alongside inhibiting weight gain. We conclude that fluoxetine treatment might independently increase leptin levels.
A General Overview To Physiological And Morphological Changes And Developments

Published: June 2023

Presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) is one of the principal communicative and chronic medical disorders of our aged population. Preventative and curative biomedical interventions provide us with an understanding of the basis of this neural and molecular sensory deficit. The cochlear nucleus (CN) receives the outputs of the auditory portion of the inner ear, and sends these outputs to the centres where critical sound and perception analyses are conducted in parallel processing pathways of brainstem. This location plays a key role to process the sound. This location is an important place to investigate the structural and functional changes related to aging occuring in cochlear nucleus. Our goal is to reveal the neurophysiologic bases of functional changes which occur in mammalian CN related to aging.

Published: June 2023

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) has been involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as through its genetic polymorphism. We examined whether G-463A polymorphism of Myeloperoxidase (MPO) gene was associated with RA. Exactly, 75 patients with RA and 90 healthy control subjects were included in this study. The genotyping was determined by polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The association between these single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RA was analyzed using chi-square test and de-Finetti program. Genotype distributions and allele frequency of RA patients were not significantly different from healthy controls. In addition, it was also determined that there was no deviation from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium in any groups (p>0.05). Whether there was an association between MPO gene G-463A gene polymorphism and RA was investigated for the first time in this study in literature and it was demonstrated that it did not exist in the Turkish RA patients. It was planned to investigate the other polymorphisms of MPO gene in the future.

Published: June 2023

Mesenteric cystic lymphangiomas (MCLs) are rare benign tumours of abdomen and it is usually diagnosed in pediatric patients. It is very rare that an adult presents with cystic mesenteric lymphangioma. A 29-year-old man presented with ongoing abdominal pain, nausea and vomitting. On physical examination, there was distension on whole abdomen, but no palpable mass was detected. Computed tomography showed that there was a huge cystic mass, with the size of 22x20 cm, originating from ileal mesentery and the cystic mass was extanding till pelvis. Cystic mass was resected with the adjacent, approximately 25 cm, ileal segment. Histopathologic examination revealed the cystic lymphangioma of the mesentery. The clinical presentation is diverse, ranging from an incidentally discovered, asymptomatic abdominal cyst to life-threatening abdominal catastrophes. Preoperatif diagnosis is often impossible, since it has not a characterictic clinic presentation and radiologic imaging. Prognosis is perfect after complete resection. The most important factor in diagnosis is to keep the disease in mind in the evaluation of patients presenting with acute abdomen.

Congenital Cataract
Authors: Saygılı Oğuzhan , Dai Alper , Koçluk Yusuf , Mete Alper
Published: June 2023

Congenital cataract has a high amblyogenic potential and is an important subject in pediatric opthalmology. Because of amblyopia risk, congenital cataracts require an early diagnosis.Bilateral congenital cataract is genetic in at least 25% of cases. In contrast, unilateral congenital cataract is usually sporadic. The mode of inheritance is mostly autosomal dominant but autosomal recessive and X-linked modes also occur. Metabolic cataract may be diagnosed biochemically. Because of the anatomical dimensions being smaller and the tissue structures being softer and more elastic in the young patient, surgery of paediatric cataracts represents a special challenge for the ophthalmic surgeon. The evolution of paediatric cataract surgery continues, with many adult cataract surgical techniques being applied to children with minor technical adjustments. Intraocular lenses have helped to provide better anatomic and functional outcome for cataract surgery in children. More and more, surgeons are implanting intraocular lenses in younger children. One of the most widely reported technologic advances in 2004-2005 was the use of hydrofobic acrylic intraocular lenses in children. Predicting axial growth, and refractive change that accompanies it, is one of the major remaining challances for the long- term care of children who have had cataract surgery. Due to the increased inflammatory reaction postoperatively, a minimally traumatic operation, intensive occlusion therapy and optimal correction with glasses or contact lenses are also necessary. Orthoptic follow-up examinations are also important for the long-term result.In this review, a short information about diagnosis and management of congenital cataract is presented.
Effects of Acute and Chronic Administration of Erythropoietin on Arrhythmias Induced by Myocardial Ischemia and Preconditioning in Anesthetized Rats

Published: June 2023

Erythropoietin is a cytokine that is commonly associated with its role as a hormonal stimulator of erythropoiesis. Recombinant human erythropoietin is used to correct anemia in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. Ischemic preconditioning is a powerful endogenous protective phenomenon in which brief episodes of ischemia induce protection against future, lethal ischemia. Despite the intensive investigation, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying ischemic preconditioning are not well known. Erythropoietin has been suggested as another endogenous mediator of ischemic preconditioning since it is produced after ischemic or hypoxic insults. In order to determine its cardioprotective effects, we examined the effects of acute and chronic administration of erythropoietin on occlusion-induced arrhythmias in anesthetized rats in the present study. Erythropoietin produced marked antiarrhythmic effects with reduction in ventricular tachycardia, abolition of ventricular fibrillation and attenuation of arrhythmia scores. üur results showed that erythropoietin itself was able to induce preconditioning and preserved the cardioprotective effects of ischemic and carbachol-induced pharmacological preconditioning. Chronic erythropoietin administration generated hypertension and this effect was markedly augmented in the presence of Nü synthase inhibitor L-NAME. However, L-NAME did not inhibit the cardioprotective effects of erythropoietin in anesthetized rats. Although plasma Nü levels was markedly reduced with L-NAME, chronic erythropoietin led to an increased in Nü levels. Erythropoietin could also act protectively by upregulating enzymes that scavenge oxygen radicals. Therefore, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase enzyme levels were measured in the present study, but no changes were observed. There were marked inhibitions in malondialdehyde and lactate levels in all groups when compared to control. These results suggest that erythropoietin is able to protect heart against ventricular arrhythmias and can produce cardiac preconditioning.
Vitamin K and Osteoporosis
Authors: Namıduru Emine Siber , Tarakçıoğlu Mehmet
Published: June 2023

Vitamin K is involved in blood coagulation and in bone metabolism via the carboxylation of glutamate residues in (hepatic) blood coagulation factors and (osteoblastic) bone proteins. Although undercarboxylation of blood coagulation factors is very rare, undercarboxylated osteocalcin (bone Gla-protein) is frequently found in subject with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, a systemic disease characterized by a low bone mass, is a major public health problem. It is a devastating disorder with significant physical, psychosocial, and financial problems because of the high incidence of fragility fractures, especially hip and vertebral fracture. The high incidence of osteoporotic fractures leads to considerable mortality, morbidity, reduced mobility and decreased quality of life. Hence one of the most important approaches to therapy is prevention. Supplementation of osteoporotic subjects with extra vitamin K causes the markers for bone formation to increase. In parallel, a decrease of the markers for bone resorption is frequently seen, Because of vitamin K can be decreased the risk of developing osteoporosis and its complications can be minimized. In this review summarizes with a theoretical knowledge about vitamin K and osteoporosis plus current reports regarding a possible role of vitamin K insufficiency in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis.

Chất lượng giảng dạy và đào tạo ở các trường ĐH (ĐH) ngày càng được quan tâm khi nền giáo dục cởi mở hơn và có nhiều cạnh tranh hơn. Hai yếu tố chủ yếu nhất quyết định cho chất lượng đào tạo tại một cơ sở là chất lượng chương trình đào tạo, đội ngũ giảng viên (GV) và dịch vụ “chăm sóc khách hàng”. Để đánh giá về hai điều này, ngoài công tác tuyển dụng, thì việc lấy ý kiến của “khách hàng” là điều không thể thiếu trong quá trình nhìn lại chất lượng hiện thời để cải tiến. Theo kinh tế thị trường, “khách hàng” của một dịch vụ được xem là “thượng đế” vì họ quyết định cho sự thành công hay thất bại của một “sản phẩm”. Do đó, việc lấy ý kiến đánh giá của sinh viên về chất lượng đào tạo là một điều tiên quyết của Khoa Ngôn ngữ và Văn hóa nước ngoài (NN & VHNN). Bài báo cáo này trình bày những đánh giá của sinh viên (SV) ngành NN & VHNN về chương trình đào tạo của Khoa, chất lượng giảng dạy của giảng viên, và các dịch vụ hỗ trợ của Khoa NN & VHNN giúp SV những lúc gặp khó khăn trong suốt quá trình học hành. Sau cùng, bài báo cáo đưa ra những giải pháp hiệu quả giúp cải tiến chất lượng đào tạo của Khoa NN & VHNN của trường ĐH Văn Hiến (ĐH VH).

Bài viết nghiên cứu về giá trị xã hội Việt Nam hiện đại từ cách tiếp cận hệ thống – cấu trúc theo cách nhìn xã hội học. Kết quả cho thấy xã hội Việt Nam đang trong giai đoạn hình thành hệ giá trị mới với ba xu hướng trái ngược cùng tồn tại: (1) Giá trị của xã hội công nghiệp hiện đại chưa đứng vững, (2) Khía cạnh tiêu cực của các giá trị cũ còn mạnh mẽ, (3) Sự mai một của một số giá trị truyền thống cốt lõi. Sự yếu thế của các giá trị hiện đại trong giai đoạn hội nhập đã gây ra khủng hoảng giá trị ở Việt Nam, biểu hiện là các hiện tượng lệch lạc diễn ra ở khắp các quan hệ kinh tế, chính trị, pháp luật, cộng đồng. Nguyên nhân sâu xa của sự khủng hoảng này nằm ở việc các thể chế xã hội, đặc biệt là chính trị và luật pháp chưa thực hiện tốt chức năng hướng đích và liên kết xã hội.
Impact of COVID-19 on airline business: a case study of airlines in Thailand
Authors:   , Chokanan Chonlatan
Published: June 2023

Hardship of airline industry is outstanding in 2020, air travel has been interrupted, since the new coronavirus 2019 started spreading around the world in December 2019. This research depicts the picture of impact from the consequence after economic activities are intervened both demand and supple sides, leading to financial problem. Travel restriction policy strictly imposed in several countries has reduced airline operating activities to the minimum. Airlines then mainly operate in domestic sector, and are permitted for only some specific international flights. Commercial airlines had struggled to survive, by introducing competitive airfare, finding other source of revenue, reduce over capacity, and cutting expenses.  Rather than external factors of airlines such as shrinking in economic activities, government policy, and geographical factor reflected by operating performance, this study found that business management strategies take important role for survival of airlines throughout the hardship as reflected by financial performance. Rather than revenue gains from domestic travel, good asset management and financial reserve are the key outstanding reason behind the buffer of Bangkok Airways, short haul full-service carrier, which had the least impact compare to Thai Airways, long-haul full-service carrier, and Thai AirAsia, short-haul low-cost carrier. The lines between each airline category, defined by type of air travel services, become blurry as all airlines are in the same situation. The crisis forces airlines to reduce its capacity for short term recovery and to rethink of how to handle for the external thread, as airlines are highly sensitive to economic and business cyclical.

Authors: NIKA Ismet
Published: June 2023

Gallbladder perforation occurs very rarely. The most frequent causes of this complication are: acute calculous gangrenous cholecystitis, acalculous cholecystitis, but very rarely, perforation of the gallbladder may occur without obvious clinical and radiological signs of perforation of the gallbladder. Here I am describing the case of a 76-Year-old woman. The patient was presented to the Emergency Department of Durres regional hospital with the diagnosis: Acute generalized abdomen. The etiological diagnosis was established during the surgical intervention. This clinical case is rare, but it shows that this diagnosis should be taken into consideration by surgeons, in elderly patients who present acute generalized abdomen with unclear etiology in the preoperative period.

Authors: RRUGIA Iva , ZAVALANI Sara
Published: June 2023

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease caused by an absolute deficiency of insulin because of the destruction of β cells islet of the pancreas. Aerobic exercise and diet are the two main points of diabetes treatment. Methods: The data for this study comes from un online survey of 50 people with health diseases, conducted between June 8 and July 12, 2021. More precisely, the data of our study are un mail-only data, with people selected randomly from a database maintained by B-Sport Plus Project. The database contains questions about physical activities in diabetic patients. Results: Among the 50 interviewers with type 1 diabetes, the largest age group covers those younger than 18 years old. 31% of the patients answered that health conditions limit their daily activity. 47% of them spent 1-2 h on sport and recreational activity per day. 47% of the patients reported they do multiple sport activities, the others do leisurely walking (walking their dog), bicycling, skating, swimming and curling, gardening and light housework, dancing or other moderate exercise classes, weight training and running, brisk walk. 62% of them reported that they are willing to exercise 1-2 hours per day. 33% of the patients reported they do not participate in sport and recreational activities from lack of time, the others from financial constraints, family and friends influence, lack of self-confidence, illness/injury, problems with transportation. Conclusion Aerobic exercise can improve the sensitivity of Insulin, blood glucose and lipid metabolism, thereby reducing insulin dosage and improving glycemic control. WHO recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. T1DM patients, physiotherapists or fitness trainers, kinesiologists and endocrinologists need to fully understand how physical activity effect metabolism and implement individualized aerobic exercise programs.
Medical confidentiality in general and that after the death of the patient
Authors: ÇIPI Bardhyl
Published: June 2023

The preservation of secrecy occupies an important place for the respect of freedoms and human rights, which is also foreseen in the Albanian Constitution. In the Albanian Penal Code, several articles have been presented that punish the violation of the confidentiality of correspondence etc. This principle is also very important in medicine. In fact, in the last years, the risk of its violation has become greater due to the development of electronic media, computers, faxes, voice messages etc. Under these conditions, a new medical legislation has begun to be developed in many countries, for these issues. But the field of medical confidentiaity after death is not studied enough. It is important to know the different aspects of this issue in our country, because recently there have been many publications in our country, accompanied by discussions and criticisms, especially regarding the illnesses and deaths of some public figures. In this presentation, among others, some ethical, philosophical and legal data on this issue are analyzed, which are mainly related to the interests of the deceased person, the time that has passed since death, the negative impact of not saving medical data on his memory, followed by the presentation of some well-known cases, etc. In conclusion, it is emphasized that medical confidentiality after death, especially that of a public person for our country, is a very delicate issue that requires great care in cases of its announcement.
Assessment of maternal obesity and perinatal consequences
Authors: BAFTIU Dardan , ABAZAJ Erjona
Published: June 2023

Nowadays the prevalence of obesity especially maternal obesity prevalence has increased substantially and provides a major challenge to public health. Besides that, weight gain during pregnancy may result in negative outcomes for women and neonatal. Objective: We evaluated maternal obesity prevalence and outcomes during and after pregnancy at the Regional Hospital of Ferizaj. Methods: A total of 258 pregnant females who delivered their babies at the Regional Hospital of Ferizaj between March 2018 and March 2020 were included in this study. Based on the body mass index (BMI) of maternal, the patients were divided into groups: underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese I, obese II, and obese III/ morbid obese. The effects of obesity on fetal and maternal outcomes were investigated. Results: Overall 258 pregnant women were included in our study, the average age was 28.7±3.4, with min age of 19 and a max of 41 years old. The prevalence of BMI over the normal weight among pregnant women resulted in 70.5% (182/258). Most of the maternal were overweight at 29.6% (54/182), obese class I at 27.5% (50/182), obese class II at 25.3% (46/182), and obese class III at 17.6% (32/182), with a significant association between them χ2=2.8, p<0.02. Adverse obese maternal effects and perinatal consequences or other problems were significantly more frequent than in normal-weight maternal. Besides that, in this study, the low-birth-weight infant rate was higher in the low BMI pregnant cases with a strong significant association (χ2=37.8 p value < 0.0001). Conclusion: The finding of this study conclude that obesity plays a significant risk factor and it is a strong association with complications in pregnancy and newborns. Further studies are recommended to explore the obesity problems to develop guidelines and strategies and to minimize the adverse effect of this risk for developing maternal and newborn complications.

Published: June 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência dos fenômenos climáticos El Niño e La Niña na produtividade simulada pelo modelo 3PG em Eucalyptus spp. Os estudos foram realizados em áreas com plantio clonais de eucalipto nos estados da Bahia (BA), Minas Gerais (MG) e Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Trabalhou-se nos anos de ocorrência dos eventos El Niño e La Niña com intensidades fraca, moderada e forte nos anos de 1980 a 2015. Foram feitas simulações das variáveis que expressam produtividade nos plantios em cada ano destes eventos climáticos, utilizando o modelo 3PG. A calibração do modelo foi feita a partir de dados de inventários dos talhões trabalhados. As idades de três, cinco e sete anos foram avaliadas ao longo do ciclo. As médias dos estados, regiões e idades foram comparadas estatisticamente pelo teste de Tukey (p ≤ 5%). O modelo foi capaz de detectar tendências atribuídas aos eventos climáticos do El Niño e La Niña, evidenciando maiores incrementos volumétricos naqueles que apresentaram maiores totais de chuvas. Os eventos em que ocorreram condições climáticas limitantes ao crescimento dos plantios verificaram menor incremento da biomassa total. A biomassa estimada apresentou maiores incrementos para os órgãos: lenho>raiz>folhas, respectivamente.

A construção de rodovias representa uma das principais ameaças à biodiversidade do Cerrado. A partir de análises fitossociológicas nas faixas non aedificandi (sem edificação), avaliou-se o estado de conservação da vegetação de cerrado localizadas nas margens de rodovias. O estudo foi realizado em quatro regiões do Cerrado brasileiro: noroeste (NO-GO), sul (S-GO) e sudeste de Goiás (SE-GO), e no Triângulo Mineiro e Alto do Paranaíba em Minas Gerais (TRI). Foram inventariados todos os indivíduos arbóreos com C30cm (circunferência mensurada a 30 cm de altura do solo) > 15 cm presentes em 100 parcelas (50 m x 10 m) dispostas de maneira independente. O levantamento amostrou 1663 indivíduos distribuídos em 163 espécies e 44 famílias. A densidade para as regiões foi de 504,44, 395, 307,69 e 151,03 ha-1. A maior similaridade, com base nos índices de Jaccard e Morisita-Horn, ocorreu entre as áreas TRI e SE-GO (0,340 e 0,550), enquanto o menor valor entre as áreas a noroeste (NO-GO) e sul (S-GO) de Goiás (0,086 e 0,159). Das espécies encontradas nas margens de rodovias, 76,3% foram encontradas também em áreas conservadas. As faixas vegetadas nas margens das rodovias formam pequenos habitats capazes de sustentar uma diversidade semelhante à encontrada em áreas naturais, no entanto, esses ambientes sofrem com perturbações antrópicas, favorecendo a ocorrência de espécies incomuns daquela comunidade nativa.

Debugging the Karmabug For reasons I will not go through right now, I needed a new library for making synchronous HTTP requests in Node.js. I know what you are saying, “But that’s one of the seven deadly sins of JavaScript!” 1 Well, just know I had my reasons, and I wanted to replace sync-request. Since I was already using the Fetch API with node-fetch in the async part of my library, I thought: why not build a sync-fetch, using node-fetch under the hood like sync-request uses (then-)request. Two days later, it was actually working, as far as I could tell.

BibTeX Rework: Syntax Update A rework of the BibTeX parser has been on the backlog since at least August 15, 2017, and recently I started working on actually carrying it out — systematically. There were a number of things to be improved: Complete syntax support: again, supporting BibTeX by looking at examples leads in a lack of support for less seen features like @string, @preamble and parentheses for enclosing entries instead of braces.

Journal Metadata: Authors & Institutions I finished the General Plugin system for Citation.js a few days ago (more on that later), so I could finally publish a new beta release. Now, after that half-finished piece of code had been blocking other work for a long while, I can at last start… fixing bugs, and closing other items in the backlog. One of the items that has been on the backlog for a long time, and was on the backlog of the previous major version too, was sorting out BibJSON.

Citation.js: Showing Blogger Posts on a Different Site I made a small client for Blogger that takes a tag and transforms it into its own little blog: citation.js.org/blog/?post=542…. No metadata though, as it’s all client-side. — Lars Willighagen (@larswillighagen) August 6, 2018 I made a Material-themed page showing Citation.js blog posts from Blogger. It supports pagination, tags, search and linking individual posts. Since it’s a single, static page I can’t support meta and link tags for metadata, that would require JavaScript which indexers don’t run.

Common postman (Heliconius melpomene) on a Lantana Almost two years ago I started participating on the then-new (now-archived) npm forum. I had been using npm for a few years at that point, and I had some free time to spend providing technical support, for fun. I fixed a number of bugs in the CLI, and users thanked me for those. My impact was limited, but the work was fulfilling. That is, until the developers at npm I had been working with got laid off.

Citation.js: Wikidata Subclasses I am in the process of creating a better way to map CSL types to Wikidata types together with Jakob Voß, and while listing all subtypes of web page, I came across a number of these cases (link): #defaultView:Graph SELECT ?a ?aLabel ?b ?bLabel WHERE { wd:Q58803899 wdt:P279* ?a . ?a wdt:P279 ?b . FILTER EXISTS { ?b wdt:P279* wd:Q386724 . } SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". } } I’m no expert on Wikidata data models, nor on the semantics of each of those items in specific, but I’m pretty sure Cou

The use of AI-powered educational technologies (AI-EdTech) offers a range of advantages to students, instructors, and educational institutions. While much has been achieved, several challenges in managing the data underpinning AI-EdTech are limiting progress in the field. This paper outlines some of these challenges and argues that data management research has the potential to provide solutions that can enable responsible and effective learner-supporting, teacher-supporting, and institution-supporting AI-EdTech. Our hope is to establish a common ground for collaboration and to foster partnerships among educational experts, AI developers and data management researchers in order to respond effectively to the rapidly evolving global educational landscape and drive the development of AI-EdTech.
Are We Preparing Agents of Change or Instruments of Inequity? Teaching Toward Antiracist Mathematics Teacher Education
Authors: Amidon Joel , Marshall Anne Marie , Smith Rebecca E.
Published: June 2023

The authors began this work with the understandings that (a) there is no “neutral” when it comes to the teaching of mathematics, and (b) mathematics teacher educators need to do something to help produce teachers of mathematics that develop students’ relationships with mathematics and push against the inequities that exist both within and outside of the classrooms in which they will teach. In response, the authors created, deployed, and studied a learning module in an attempt to enact antiracist mathematics teacher education. The learning module activities, the findings about the learning from the prospective teachers who engaged in the module, and messages for mathematics teacher educators who want to engage in this work are shared.
Revolusi Republik Islam Iran

Published: June 2023

Revolusi Republik Islam Iran merupakan sebuah keberhasilan rakyat Iran dalam menumbangkan kekuasaan Reza Shah Fahlevi, dan menghasilkan sebuah perubahan segala aspek dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat Iran, dan salah satunya konsep pembaharuan yang dicetuskan oleh Ayatullah Uzhma Ruhullah Imam Khomeini, setelah dua pemerintahan sebelumnya tidak mampu memberikan bentuk pembaharuan yang nyata kepada masyaraka. Jenis penelitian ini adalah studi pustaka atau Library Research yang menggunakan khazanah kepustakaan tentang sejarah serta revolusi republik Islam Iran sebagai referensi utama. Bentuk pembaharuan yang digagas oleh Ayatullah Uzhma Ruhullah Imam Khomeini adalah ulama sebagai pemegang kekuasaan tertinggi dan dikenal dengan istilah Velayat al-Faqih, ulama merupakan representasi pengamalan atas ajaran agama, sehingga langkah dan keputusan yang diambil berdasarkan hukum agama. Hingga saat ini, Velayat al-Faqih masih bertahan dan memberikan warna tersendiri dalam sistem pemerintahan Islam.

Hubungan Ilmu Mantiq Dalam Pengembangan Ilmu-Ilmu Islam
Authors: Harahap Laila Rahimah , Pally Taran Jovial
Published: June 2023

Ilmu Pengetahuan mencapai puncak perkembangan dengan baik pada era kejayaan peradaban Islam, pada saat itu bukan hanya ilmu-ilmu islam yang berkembang tetapi juga ilmu-ilmu dibidang lain. Hal ini disebabkan pengaruh ilmu Mantiq atau Logika sehingga menyebabkan banyaknya Ilmuwan yang muncul dengan segala karyanya yang berkualitas bagus. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Library Research (studi pustaka), dimana Penulis mengambil referensi dari buku dan jurnal ilmiah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ilmu Mantiq sangat berpengaruh terhadap kajian-kajian ilmu Islam karena hal itu dapat menjadi bahan evaluasi terhadap kajian ilmu islam dimasa selanjutnya atau dimasa yang akan datang karena Mantiq sendiri merupakan aturan berpikir secara rasio atau logika, meliputi analogi, deduktif, induktif dan silogisme. Hasilnya dapat digunakan sebagai bahan acuan terhadap perkembangan ilmu-ilmu islam terkhusus mengenai kelebihan dan kekurangan pada perkembangannya.

Background and Objectives: Midline fracture of dentures and fractures due to sudden impact on denture bases, like accidental dropping, are common. The limitation that the strength of these materials displays sets a need for further improvement of the polymethylmethacrylate resin. Studies have demonstrated that carbon nanotubes possess outstanding mechanical properties of flexural and impact strengths. The present study evaluated and compared the flexural strength and surface roughness on reinforcing conventional heat cure denture base resins and high impact resins with carbon nanotubes. Method: A metal template of specific dimensions 65 mm × 10 mm × 3 mm was fabricated and flasked to obtain moulds. Monomer (methylmethacrylate) containing 1wt% carbon nanotubes was mixed with DPI and Lucitone polymers respectively and packed into the moulds to obtain 20 samples for each. Monomer without nanoparticles was used to fabricate 20 more samples for each resin. Following curing and deflasking, a total of 80 specimens were finished to required dimensions. Surface roughness of each specimen was evaluated using an optical profilometer. The flexural strengths were evaluated using a Universal Testing Machine. Results: The results showed that there was statistically significant difference among the flexural strength values of the groups with microadditions of CNTs when compared to the groups without microadditions. The surface roughness values, on comparison, showed no statistical significance. Interpretation and Conclusion: On comparison of the values obtained, the study concludes that flexural strength significantly improved on addition of carbon nanotubes. However, the comparison of surface roughness values suggested that incorporation of nanotubes does not increase the surface roughness of denture resins.
