Numerous Phytochemicals have been successfully tested for their strong biological activity, and the results have been positive. For the "green" synthesis of metal nanoparticles, flavonoids found in plant materials function as reducing and electrostatic stabilising agents. In addition, these nanomaterials are useful for treating different cancer cells as well as harmful microbes. Hence, in the present research work flavonoids was used in the preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles. Flavonoids’ decreased bioavailability due to its poorer solubility in aqueous medium limits the use of such dietary flavonoids. Numerous drug-delivery technologies are being researched as a means of overcoming bioavailability restrictions. To increase the therapeutic efficacy of flavonoids, flavonoids-mediated Zinc oxide nanoparticles were created here using a green method of synthesis. XRD, SEM, EDAX, FTIR, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and zeta potential were used to characterise ZnONPs. According to the findings, ZnONPs dispersion had a maximal UV-visible absorption at about 376nm. The synthesised nanoparticles are found to be irregular and spherical shape. They were further examined for their antioxidant and anticancer activity. Zinc oxide nanomaterials were tested for its catalytic activity in the degradation of Methylene blue and Rhodamine. The rate of free radical scavenging was between 85 and 93 % and the IC50 value of ZnONPs is 10 µg/ml shows that it has good cytotoxicity effect on MCF-7 cell line. The nanoparticle degraded 78.74% of methylene blue at 270mins and 68.02% of Rhodamine has been degraded within 480 minutes.

The permitted dispensation of a child marriage has to have a deep and serious consideration. A child marriage due to the dispensation from the court still mostly happens in Indonesia. The age of marriage written in the law has been considered irrelevant. Due to that issue, Indonesia’s Woman’s Scholars Congress (KUPI) has successfully published the instructions of three big issues; sexual abuse, early-age marriage, and natural damage. This research took the focus on how the view and the role of Indonesia’s Woman Scholar is toward the phenomenon of a child marriage. This research was a qualitative-descriptive research that captured the view of the personage of Indonesia’s Woman Scholars. The premier data were taken from the result of interviews from three personages of KUPI, they were Dr. Nur Rofi’ah, Nyai Hj. Umdatul Choirat and KH. Husein Muhammad. The result of this research showed that Woman Scholars have come with the view that a kid born from a weak mother has the potential to give birth to a weak baby too. As the result, child marriage is far from gaining the real purpose of marriage. Therefore, it can be strongly inferred that minimizing child marriage is compulsary.
İMAM MÂTÜRÎDÎ’NİN TE‘VÎLÂTU’L-KUR’ÂN TEFSİRİNDE ARŞ VE MAHİYETİ

Published: June 2024

Hz. Peygambere gelen vahiy yoluyla algı ve zihin dünyamıza aktarılan arş ve Allah’ın ona istivâ etmesi etrafında, ilk günden beri istifhamlar olagelmiştir. Bazı çekincelerden ötürü bu nassları te’vil etmeyen selef âlimlerinin aksine halef âlimleri bu sıkıntıları bertaraf etmek için bu nassları uygun şekilde te’vil ederek yakın bir tarihe kadar bu meseleleri problem olmaktan çıkarmışlardır. Ancak son yüzyılda ortaya çıkan yeni selefî akımlar tarafından bu konular, tekrar gündeme taşınmıştır. Kur’ân’da otuz üç yerde geçen ع ر ش kökü ve türevlerine dair Mâtürîdî tefsirinde yapılan bu araştırmada Mâtürîdî’nin genellikle arş kelimesini selefin anladığı şekliyle fiziki bir arş değil, Allah’ın hükümranlığının sembolü olarak ifade edildiğini söyleyerek kendinden önce yapılmış ve kendisinin de eklemede bulunduğu birçok te’vile yer vermiştir. O’na göre burada te’vil yaparken göz önünde bulundurulması gereken temel esas Allah’ın yaratılmışlara benzememesidir. Ayrıca İmam Mâtürîdî’ye göre arş ve arşa istivâ ile ilgili tefsir kabilinden bize ulaşan bir rivayet bulunmadığından Allah’ın bundan kesin maksadını bilmemiz mümkün değildir. Mâtürîdî, meleklerin etrafını kuşattığı ve kıyamet gününde taşıdığı arşı da bilinenin aksine Allah’ın kıyamet gününde veli kullarını üzerinde oturtarak kendilerine ikramda bulunacağı taht ve koltuklar olarak yorumlamıştır.

Published: June 2024

World AIDS day is observed on December 1 each year. World AIDS Day was first observed in 1988, making it one of the earliest international health days. Its primary purpose has been to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. In the 1980s, when the HIV/AIDS epidemic emerged, there was widespread fear, stigma, and misinformation about the virus. The first World Health Assembly (WHA) met in 1948 at Geneva. Members of the assembly felt people all over the World suffered in World war. Members discussed global health issues, and felt the need of medical facility for everyone, when they are in need. Hence WHA stressed the importance of awareness of good health and wellbeing. To achieve this awareness about global health, all the members of World Health Organization (WHO), should devote 1 day to talk about good health and wellbeing, and also should provide the necessary medical help. Government organizations and non-governmental organizations of all nations joined hands with WHO. WHO decided to observe “World Health Day (WHD)” every year all over the World. The first WHD was observed on April 7 1950.1 Mahatma Gandhi, father of the Nation deeply sympathized towards the leprosy patients in India. On 30th January 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, Government of India decided to observe “Martyrs day 30th January 1948” as “Anti-Leprosy Day in India”. Every year, in India January 30th is observed as anti-leprosy day and entire January month, survey of all villages to detect leprosy cases, school health programme and leprosy awareness programme for common man are conducted. In 1954 French journalist Raoul Follereau saw the success of anti-leprosy awareness activities in India, and he wanted WHA to observe last Sunday of January as World Leprosy Day (WLD)”. Since 1954, every year “Last Sunday of every year is observed as World Leprosy Day”. In 1982, 24th March is observed as “World Tuberculosis Day (WTD)”. Dr. Jonathan Mann made WHA to devote one day in a year to know the increasing menace of HIV/AIDS in 1988. WHA decided to observe 1st December as “World Aids Day (WAD)” since 1988. In 1991, November 14th “World Diabetes Day (WDD)” is observed. In 1992, December 3rd “World Disability Day (WDD)” is observed. In 2007, April 25th “World Malaria Day (WMD)” is observed.

Published: June 2024

Background: The Six Sigma methodology has become a standard in quality assessment and management, widely adopted in various industries since the mid-1980s. This methodology is applicable wherever the outcome of a process needs measurement. One area where Sigma metrics find utility is in laboratory services, particularly in evaluating the quality assurance of biochemical parameters. Aims: This study aimed to measure and analyze the sigma metrics of thyroid hormones T3, T4, and TSH within the framework of NABL accreditation (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories). Materials & Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective observational study, utilizing quality control data from the Clinical Biochemistry section spanning from January 2021 to December 2021 retrieved from laboratory records. The data considered included Bio-Rad Lyphochek Immunoassay Internal Quality Control (IQC) Control and Bio-Rad External Quality Assurance Scheme (EQAS) Immunoassay monthly program data. Calculations for Coefficient of variation (CV %), Bias %, and Total Error allowable (TEa) were made to derive the sigma metric. The formula used for sigma calculation was Sigma Σ(σ) = (TEa% - Bias%) / CV%, while the Quality Goal Index (QGI) ratio was determined using the formula QGI = Bias / 1.5CV. Results: The results categorized the assay performance based on sigma levels: >6 denoted world-class performance, 5-6 indicated excellence, 4-5 represented good performance, 3-4 was deemed acceptable, and 2-3 signified poor performance. All analytes demonstrated sigma levels below 6 (2.61-5.85) varying from poor to excellent and the QGI was below 0.8, indicating a need to enhance the precision of assays. Conclusion: The Six Sigma metric analysis serves as a benchmark tool that can aid laboratories in enhancing assay performance, formulating protocols for Internal Quality Control (IQC), and evaluating existing laboratory procedures.

Preparation of corn starch-alginate beads encapsulated anthocyanins and cinnamon oil
Authors:   , Sriwichai Duangkamon
Published: June 2024

Corn starch-alginate beads loaded with anthocyanins or cinnamon oil were prepared using different components by the ionotropic gelation method. The matrix of anthocyanin-loaded corn starch-alginate beads (or anthocyanin beads) was alginate, native corn starch and soy protein isolated (SPI). The anthocyanins were extracted from butterfly pea flowers. SPI was used due to the good anthocyanin adsorption without leaking of anthocyanin during freeze-dried process. In addition, cinnamon oil-loaded corn starch-alginate beads (or oil beads) composed of alginate, porous corn starch and cinnamon oil. Porous corn starch was obtained from enzyme hydrolysis. Both types of beads were characterized their chemical and physical properties. Moreover, shelf-life time of active substance in each type of beads was evaluated for 120 days. The color follow-up of anthocyanin beads was studied on light and dark conditions. The color fading was observed with the same results in both storage-conditions. In case of oil beads, close and open conditions were studied for the retention of cinnamal oil in beads using head space solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME GC-MS). The continuous declining of oil was detected in open condition. The results indicated that porous starch retarded losing of oil compared to native corn starch. In contrast to close storage-condition, oil beads made from both types of starches did not lose during 120 storage time-days.

This study presents a computer simulation model for the inpatient department of a public hospital located in Kelantan by using the Discrete Event Simulation approach. Overcrowding, long wait times, and shortages of nurses and beds have been identified as significant issues in the department, which requires a reliable tool for analyzing current operations and optimizing resource allocation to improve service quality. By applying Discrete Event Simulation, the study models the system of the inpatient department and identifies bottlenecks in the process. Arena software was utilized to determine the optimal number of resources needed to meet the demands. The improvement model was developed based on the optimization results, and its conclusive findings demonstrate that the enhanced model significantly improves the performance of the inpatient department in terms of patient waiting time and the utilization rate of nurses and beds. In addition, a new mathematical equation has been developed to generate alternative resource allocation options based on the hospital budget. The implementation of the new configuration of inpatient department resources, as constructed in this study, effectively improves system bottlenecks. The findings of this study can be used to inform decision-making and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the inpatient department.

Authors: Dwi Putri Novi , Fathurahman Miftah Alfarid , Hartianti Astri
Published: June 2024

The mining sector in Indonesia is one of the fastest growing sectors and contributes significantly to the national economy. One of the important financial performance indicators for mining companies is Return On Assets (ROA). This study aims to analyze the effect of Current Ratio and Inventory Turnover on ROA in mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2022. This research uses secondary data obtained from the financial statements of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2019-2022. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression. The results showed that Current Ratio did not have a significant influence on ROA, while Inventory Turnover had a positive and significant influence on ROA. This means that the higher the Inventory Turnover, the higher the company's ROA. This study found that Inventory Turnover is a factor that affects ROA in mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2022. Therefore, mining companies need to improve the efficiency of their inventory management to increase ROA.
Russia's geostrategic position in the Baltic area as a threat of na­val blockade in the current circumstances
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Stryukovaty Vladimir V.
Published: June 2024

This article utilises a systematic approach for a comprehensive examination of the Baltic Sea region as a geopolitical space and an analysis of geopolitical events (event-analysis) aimed to assess the capabilities of the US and NATO to impose a naval blockade on Russia in the Baltic Sea. This study is made relevant by the growing confrontation between the collective West and Russia, and the provocative anti-Russian rhetoric adopted by official representa­tives of NATO states. Finland’s accession to NATO, Sweden’s ‘de facto’ participation in the Alliance and Russia’s geostrategic position in the Baltic region have created a situation where the sea may turn into a literal trap for the latter country. There is a threat of a maritime and trade blockade of Russia amid US and EU sanctions policy against Russian oil and calls by some Western leaders for limiting Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea to protect their countries’ maritime communications from ‘Russian aggression’. The findings of this study and an anal­ysis of the geopolitical and military-strategic situation in the Baltic Sea region suggest that this threat may become a reality. Its significance is also evidenced by steps taken by US and NATO towards escalation in relations with Russia, attempts to damage the country’s econo­my and the anti-Russian hysteria of the Baltic States.
Configuración y desarrollo de un espacio artesanal: los talleres alfareros de Rabḍ Fajja̅ri̅n, Granada (siglos XII-XVI)
Authors: Garrido López Jorge
Published: June 2024

La alfarería es una de las actividades productivas más extendida y mejor conocida en cualquier espacio y momento de la Edad Media en la Península Ibérica. En particular, nuestro conocimiento acerca de su morfología y tecnología productiva dista mucho de otros aspectos que también son fundamentales. Con este trabajo pretendemos profundizar en uno de esos aspectos, la morfología y evolución del espacio artesanal en el entramado urbano de la ciudad de Granada durante los siglos XII-XVI. Empleando los informes de actividades arqueológicas urbanas junto con documentación inédita del Archivo Histórico de Protocolos de Granada y Archivo de la Real Chancillería de Granada hemos logrado proporcionar una visión espacial concreta acerca de esta actividad productiva, identificando, caracterizando y fijando en el parcelario urbano una tendencia al traslado de estos talleres hacia una posición excéntrica, reflexionando sobre sus motivaciones e implicaciones, no siempre correctamente planteadas.
La galería de la Sala de Reyes del Alcázar de Segovia: ejes ideológicos y líneas historiográficas de un proyecto regio cuatrocentista
Authors: Nogales Rincón David
Published: June 2024

En este trabajo buscaremos estudiar el proyecto de la galería de la sala de Reyes del alcázar de Segovia, construida por Enrique IV de Castilla hacia 1458-1466, desde el punto de vista de la concepción de la serie iconográfica regia y la composición de las cartelas que acompañaban a esta. Para ello, partiremos de los testimonios que reproducen las cartelas del primitivo proyecto: el Memorial que se sacó del Alcaçar de Segobia, de la sala de los Reyes (1588) de Juan Fernández de Contreras, alcaide del alcázar, y De las estatuas antiguas (1590) de Diego de Villalta. El trabajo permite poner de relieve el estrecho contacto que la galería tiene con las sumas de crónicas, el papel complementario que texto e imagen desempeñaron en la concepción del proyecto y su papel en la proyección de un conjunto de imágenes históricas, que ponían el acento en la vinculación de la monarquía castellana con los reyes visigodos.
La conformación de un nuevo consenso. Cortes, política y fiscalidad en la Corona de Castilla (1342-1406)
Authors: Gálvez Gambero Federico , Triano Milán José Manuel
Published: June 2024

Iniciado en el siglo XIII, el proceso de construcción fiscal en la Corona de Castilla experimentó un importante impulso a lo largo de la siguiente centuria. A pesar del contexto de crisis que atravesó el reino, la historiografía ha puesto el acento en cómo la expansión del poder monárquico posibilitó este gran salto adelante. Sin embargo, son numerosos los interrogantes que aún no han recibido una respuesta satisfactoria acerca de este proceso. El presente artículo pretende abordar algunas de estas cuestiones, así como profundizar en las motivaciones de esta transformación y su impacto en el conjunto de la sociedad política. Para ello se tomará como punto de partida las Cortes, dado el papel central que jugaron en el otorgamiento de recursos extraordinarios y la toma de decisiones que fueron dando forma a la hacienda regia.

More than CSR: ORGANIZATIONS MUST PRACTICE RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION
Authors:   Dean and Professor of Information Management at SPJIMR., Nagaraj Varun
Published: June 2024

Problem of Practice: For-profit organizations are prime engines of innovation, and even as they pursue commercial success, the onus is on them to become responsible innovators. Hence the question that innovation-focused CXOs (CTOs, VPs of Product Management, Product-led CEOs, etc.) should ask is: How can my organization become a responsible innovator? Recent research by Christian Voegtlin and team claims that such transformative goals require large-scale innovations, which should be evaluated and governed using a set of responsible innovation principles.1 In this essay, we outline the need for responsible innovation, define the principles of responsible innovation, and provide recommendations on how for-profit organizations can turn these principles into practice

Legitimizing Heresy through Law
Authors: Pistan Carna
Published: June 2024

In the heart of Europe, a troubling commemoration persists. On May 18, Croatia observed a remembrance day that honors the memory of those killed in Bleiburg in 1945 – a group that included members of the Ustasha movement, a Nazi collaborationist faction during WWII. Established by law, this memorial day controversially depicts Ustasha as fighters for Croatia’s freedom and independence. Such a narrative not only distorts historical facts but dishonors the memory of the victims of Ustasha atrocities. Additionally, it affirms values contrary to the country’s Constitution and fails to align with international standards on memorialization and the EU politics of memory.

So far, democracy in Belarus has struggled to establish itself within the country. After the protest movement in 2020, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya went into exile where she and her supporters have been trying to penetrate the firm autocratic regime of Alexander Lukashenka. On June 8, the results of the elections for the Coordination Council – an exiled substitute assembly for the in situ Belarusian Parliament were announced. Less than 7,000 people participated in the vote. Despite the considerable efforts to mobilise the voters for the Coordination Council, the exiled opposition has failed to secure any meaningful turnout and thus its much-needed further democratic legitimacy.

Este trabajo analiza los fundamentos antropológicos y sociológicos de la teoría del Derecho Penal del Enemigo y su funcioalidad en el sistema social. Se utiliza el método descriptivo-teórico. Dentro de nuestro análisis del Derecho Penal del Enemigo, entenderemos éste como la manifestación del Derecho que se caracteriza por una rebaja de las barreras de afectación de las garantías fundamentales, adelantamiento de las barreras de punibilidad, entre otras características que dan vida a esta polémica forma de entender el ejercicio de la fuerza estatal (Ríos 2012). Concluimos que el Derecho Penal, enfocado a aquellos individuos que no se adecuaron al modo de vida en sociedad conforme al ordenamiento normativo vigente, ni al respeto a las expectativas sociales institucionalizadas por el sistema social para lo convivencia, no es la panacea para solucionar los numerosos problemas e inconvenientes sociales actuales. Pudiéndose entender el tratamiento diferenciado como mera contribución teórico-conceptual que informe a la intervención estatal en el terreno punitivo, y que ésta sea proporcional a las expectativas legítimas de la comunidad y al desempeño del sistema social.

T تعلم اللغة العربية بناءً على المنهج البراغماتي
Authors: Kuswoyo
Published: June 2024

تقديم نهج براغماتي يستند إلى مفهوم اللغة كأداة اتصال يقدم تحليلاً للغة يشمل جميع الجوانب خارج مستوى اللغة ذاتها، ويكون قادرًا على إعطاء معانٍ غنية. الاتصال كاحتياج أساسي يشير إلى أن كل تعبير نقدمه يُفسر على أنه رسالة من قبل الآخرين، الذين يراقبون أفعالنا وحركاتنا كرموز للأفكار المستترة. من خلال فهم أعمق للاتصال، يمكننا توقع الرسائل بشكل أكثر تنظيمًا وهيكلة. في كثير من الأحيان، يتجاهل الكثيرون الأسئلة حول كيف يمكن استخدام اللغة بفعالية كوسيلة للتواصل. ونتيجة لذلك، يجد متحدثو اللغة أنفسهم في غالب الأحيان في حالة سوء تفاهم بسبب عدم فهم السياق وجوانب الحديث. يقدم النهج البراغماتي منظورًا فريدًا لاستكشاف هذه الديناميات. في هذا السياق، سيتناول هذا البحث مختلف جوانب البراغماتيك، بما في ذلك النهج، والقيود، والمبادئ، وجوانب الكلام، والنظريات، مع تقديم أمثلة على تطبيقها في الحياة اليومية.
