The Optimization of Advanced Oxidation Processes for the Degradation of Industrial Pollutants
Authors: Ziembowicz Sabina , Kida Małgorzata
Published: February 2025

The suitability of advanced oxidation processes to industrial pollutants was evaluated. Three dyes were selected for research: Indigo carmine, Tartrazine, and Allura red AC. Single processes (oxidation by H2O2, Fenton process, ozonation), and hybrid processes (O3 + H2O2, O3 + Fenton) were applied. The results of the research obtained indicated that the use of hydrogen peroxide alone is not effective in the degradation of the analyzed dyes (max. efficiency was 9.38%). The use of the Fenton process (1 mg of Fe2+, 15 µL of H2O2, pH = 3) allows for the complete decolorization of all dyes tested, while the time for each dye is different (2 min for Indigo carmine, 15 min for Tartrazine, and 30 min for Allura red AC). Ozonation is effective in removing only Indigo carmine. Thirty minutes of ozonation (pH = 5.5) results in a 97% elimination of this dye, while for Tartrazine and Allura red AC, the results were 8.46% and 4.32%, respectively. The addition of H2O2 and Fe(II) ions during ozonation accelerates the degradation of Indigo carmine (from 30 min to 1 min) and increases the elimination degree to approx. 80% of Tartrazine and Allura red AC. It has been proven that AOPs, for example, the Fenton process and ozonation, are sustainable in removing industrial pollutants, e.g., dyes.

Published: February 2025

To balance economic development with environmental sustainability and address the challenges posed by the new wave of technological innovation, China has focused on leveraging the synergistic effects of technology and finance. This approach aims to promote urban green technology innovation (UGTI), which is critical in achieving innovation-driven, high-quality development. This study draws on two phases of China’s “Promoting the Integration of Technology and Finance Pilot” policy, implemented in 2011 and 2016. It utilizes data from 283 cities from 2007 to 2021 and employs a multiple-period difference-in-differences (DID) model to examine the effect, mechanisms, and heterogeneity of science and technology (sci-tech) finance policies on UGTI. The results indicate that (1) sci-tech finance policies significantly foster UGTI. (2) The mechanism analysis reveals that sci-tech finance policies stimulate UGTI by enhancing the agglomeration of scientific and technological talent and factor allocation. (3) The heterogeneity analysis shows that sci-tech finance policies have a considerably greater effect on UGTI in eastern and non-resource-based cities than in western and resource-based cities. Furthermore, strengthening intellectual property protection, advancing digitalization, and implementing suitable financial regulations amplify the green innovation effects of the sci-tech finance policies.
The Impact of Carbon Emissions Trading Pilot Policies on High-Quality Agricultural Development: An Empirical Assessment Using Double Machine Learning
Authors: Xi Shilong , Wang Xiaohui , Lin Kejun
Published: February 2025

Amid the pressing challenges of global warming, carbon trading policies have gained increasing importance in advancing green development. This study employs Double Machine Learning (DML) to effectively process high-dimensional data and nonlinear relationships, integrating methods such as Difference-in-Differences (DID) to systematically address endogeneity issues. Using an indicator system for High-Quality Agricultural Development (HQAD) covering 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, this study aims to evaluate the impact of the pilot carbon emissions trading (CET) policy on HQAD. The findings are as follows: (1) The pilot CET policy significantly enhances HQAD. Though the positive effect has diminished, multi-dimensional robustness checks confirm the results’ credibility and stability. (2) Mechanism analysis shows that the policy promotes HQAD through two key pathways: strengthening environmental regulation (ER) and improving agricultural energy total factor productivity (AETFP). (3) Regional heterogeneity is evident, with the eastern region showing the most substantial policy effects, followed by the western region, while the central region shows minimal impact. Regarding grain functional zones, the policy effect is significant in the main sales and balance areas but weaker in the main producing area. Based on these findings, this study provides three policy recommendations to inform policymaking, facilitate the green transition, and promote High-Quality Agricultural Development.

Authors: Hong Li , Feng Shuowen , Li Panru , Wang Aoxue
Published: February 2025

To remedy ecological damage and soil contamination in mining brownfields, this research focuses on the Gumi Mountain mining area in Wuhan. It proposes restoration strategies based on Nature-based Solutions (NbSs). Besides terrain restoration and soil enhancement, it also involves the redesigning of water systems, hydrological management, and the stratified planting of native species to restore plant communities. As China’s inaugural quartz optical fiber was born here, we need to consider its history when making reclamation strategy for the Optics Valley City. This research took the Pulsed High Magnetic Field Facility (PHMFF) as the prototype to build a model that integrates “mountain, river, forest, farmland and flower” ecosystems. Based on NbS, we divided the brownfield by functions and redesigned the tourist routes. This research offers new methodologies for similar efforts in mine rehabilitation.
Some New Fibonacci Matrices and Error Detecting-Correcting Codes
Authors: Kürüz Ferhat
Published: February 2025

The rapid and accurate transfer of information is essential in today’s digital world, where error detecting and correcting codes play a crucial role. In this context, Fibonacci numbers have been extensively applied in coding theory, particularly in coding structures based on Fibonacci polynomials and symmetric matrices. This study proposes a novel coding framework by defining and using some new Fibonacci matrices with their determinants. The properties of these matrices are analyzed to construct efficient coding and error correction mechanisms. The proposed structure enables the transmission of larger data volumes in a single iteration without compromising the error correction performance, demonstrating the potential of Fibonacci matrices for reliable and efficient information transfer.
Field Experiments on a Square-Hole-Type Metamaterial: Exploring the Attenuation of Rayleigh and Love Waves
Authors: Zhang Xinchao , Liu Wei , Shi Qingfan
Published: February 2025

Seismic metamaterials have gained significant attention for their ability to reduce seismic wave energy. However, numerical simulations have dominated the majority of research on seismic metamaterials, with relatively few field experiments validating their effectiveness. Additionally, the focus has primarily been on attenuating Rayleigh waves, with less attention given to Love waves. In this study, we first designed a seismic metamaterial featuring a periodic and symmetric array of square holes using numerical simulations as our research platform. We then explored its attenuation effects on Rayleigh waves, particularly Love waves, through field experiments. The results revealed not only differences in energy attenuation between these wave types but, more importantly, uncovered a phenomenon that we termed Bandgap-Induced Attenuation Mode Inversion within the ultra-broadband gap that was generated by the seismic metamaterials, where Love waves exhibited greater attenuation than Rayleigh waves below 50 Hz, while Rayleigh waves exhibited greater attenuation above 50 Hz. These findings highlight the necessity of considering both wave types when designing cost-effective seismic metamaterials, providing valuable insights for the development and application of metamaterials that can effectively mitigate the energy of different seismic wave modes.

Published: February 2025

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, often resulting in spasticity. Botulinum toxin injections have emerged as a cornerstone in the management of post-stroke spasticity. However, despite their clinical efficacy, maintaining long-term adherence to botulinum toxin therapy remains a significant challenge. This retrospective observational study analyzed 106 patients undergoing botulinum toxin therapy for post-stroke spasticity to identify the key factors influencing treatment continuation. The mean age of the cohort at the time of stroke was 57.7 years, with ischemic strokes accounting for 61.3% of cases and hemorrhagic strokes for 38.7%. A total of 61.3% of patients continued therapy, while 38.7% discontinued therapy due to a variety of reasons. The most common reasons included logistical barriers (43.9%) and comorbidities (36.6%), followed by perceived lack of benefit (24.4%) and clinical resolution (12.2%). Among those citing a lack of benefit, muscular fibrosis was a notable contributor. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, logistical challenges, such as access to healthcare facilities and administrative difficulties, were associated with discontinuation (HR = 13.95, 95% CI: 5.57–34.94, p < 0.001). Comorbidities also significantly increased the likelihood of discontinuation (HR = 3.51, 95% CI: 1.56–7.87, p = 0.002), as did the lack of benefit (HR = 14.34, 95% CI: 5.65–36.38, p < 0.001) and condition resolution (HR = 19.20, 95% CI: 5.58–66.02, p < 0.001). In contrast, demographic and clinical factors, including age at the time of stroke, gender, stroke type, affected side, and baseline spasticity severity, did not significantly influence treatment continuation. These findings underscore the importance of addressing logistical barriers and mitigating the burden of comorbidities to enhance treatment adherence. A shift toward patient-centered approaches that integrate robust rehabilitation services and streamline healthcare accessibility is critical for optimizing outcomes.

Published: February 2025

This retrospective study investigates botulinum toxin changes in 206 patients with spasticity, following reimbursement adjustments in France. The main objective was to evaluate the tolerance and efficacy of these changes, a topic underexplored due to the common practice of maintaining the same toxin brand. The majority of patients switched from Botox to Xeomin (73.66%), while others switched from Botox to Dysport (14.63%) or from Xeomin to Dysport (11.71%). Dose adjustments varied depending on the switch, with the change from Botox to Xeomin showing the greatest diversity in adjustments. Overall, tolerance was good, with few adverse effects reported, primarily fatigue. Perceived efficacy fluctuated, with some patients noting improvement while others experienced deterioration, but the median remained stable. A majority of patients (57.06%) chose to continue with their new treatment, indicating general satisfaction, though 42.93% preferred to return to their initial treatment. This study highlights the importance of an individualized approach and careful monitoring during toxin changes. The results suggest that toxin switches can be made without an increase in adverse effects. While differences between groups were observed, they were not statistically significant. Placebo and nocebo effects may influence perceptions of efficacy and side effects during treatment changes.
Sequential SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccination Induces Anti-Idiotype (Anti-ACE2) Antibodies in K18 Human ACE2 Transgenic Mice
Authors: Collins Craig P. , Herzog Christian , Vick Logan V. , Nielsen Ryan , Harville Yanping Izak , Longo Dan L. , Arthur John M. , Murphy William J.
Published: February 2025

Background/Objectives: Novel mRNA vaccines have been successfully utilized to curtail the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. However, the immunology underlying CoV2 vaccinations, particularly with repeated boosting, has not been properly characterized due to limitations in the preclinical modeling of SARS-CoV-2 infection/vaccinations as well as constantly changing vaccine formulations. The immunoregulatory aspects involved in such vaccine approaches remain unclear. Antibodies, due to inherent immunogenicity by VDJ gene rearrangement, have the potential to induce antibodies directed towards them called anti-idiotype antibodies, which can play a downregulatory role in responses. The paratope of some of these anti-idiotype antibodies can also act as a mirror to the original antigen, which, in the case of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, would be to the spike protein and, therefore, also be capable of binding its target, ACE2, potentially causing adverse effects. Methods: To investigate if sequential SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination can induce anti-idiotype antibody responses, K18 hACE2 transgenic mice were serially vaccinated with a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA construct to determine the kinetics of anti-spike and anti-ACE2 responses via custom-made ELISAs. Results: While sequential vaccination produced robust anti-spike responses, anti-ACE2 levels were also detected and gradually amplified with each boost. These anti-ACE2 antibodies persisted for 3 months after the final vaccination and showed evidence of hACE2 binding, as levels were lower in K18 mice in comparison to the wild type. Conclusions: These data would suggest that sequential SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination has the potential to induce anti-ACE2 antibodies in mice, with each boost amplifying the amount of antibody.

Published: February 2025

Background/Objectives: Invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae disease (IPD) and invasive Haemophilus influenzae (IHI) infections cause disease in pediatric patients. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a change in the rates of common viral illnesses that can lead to superimposed bacterial infections. Methods: A repeated monthly cross-sectional study was performed using inpatient data from the Military Health System Data Repository (MDR) to observe differences in IPD and IHI hospitalization rates before and during the COVID-19 pandemic starting in March 2018 and continuing to February 2023. Our study included a cohort of 1.27 million children under the age of 5 years old. Results: A total of 200 unique cases of IPD and 171 unique cases of IHI were identified. In Year 1 of the pandemic, the hospitalization rates for IHI and IPD decreased. In Year 2, IPD returned to the pre-pandemic baseline, and IHI remained below the baseline. In Year 3, IPD increased above the baseline, and IHI returned to the baseline. Conclusions: These data support the notion that the interventions implemented to reduce the spread of COVID-19, such as hand hygiene and social distancing, likely led to a reduction in the incidence of invasive disease. The subsequent relaxation of these mitigation strategies likely led to a resurgence of IHI and an increase in IPD in our population.
Modifiable Lifestyle Risk Factors and Strategies for Slowing the Progression of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Published: February 2025

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial disorder influenced by genetic, lifestyle, nutritional, and systemic health factors that contribute to increased oxidative stress and chronic inflammation in the retina. This article reviews the recent literature on modifiable lifestyle risk factors for the development and progression of AMD. Smoking (current and former), physical inactivity, prolonged sunlight exposure, as well as conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and obesity have all been associated with an increased risk of early AMD and its progression. The Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS and AREDS2) have shown that a specific combination of vitamins E and C, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin can significantly reduce the risk of AMD progressing from dry to wet form. Additionally, adherence to a Mediterranean diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, and nuts, has been linked to a lower risk of both early and late AMD. Emerging evidence suggests that these benefits may be influenced by the gut microbiota, as well as genetic and epigenetic factors. Further research into the interactions between these risk factors could pave the way for targeted therapies aimed at preventing or slowing AMD progression.

Authors: Alves Tiago Teixeira , Cavallini Grasiele Soares , Souza Nelson Luis Gonçalves Dias
Published: February 2025

Water pollution from herbicide contamination poses a significant environmental challenge, necessitating effective regenerative materials for their removal. 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and glyphosate are among the most widely used herbicides for weed control. This study aimed to synthesize polymeric materials for the removal of these compounds from aqueous media. The study evaluated adsorption capacity, isotherms, kinetics, regeneration capacity, and the influence of pH on adsorption, alongside disinfection tests. Biodegradable polymers including chitosan, sodium alginate, and guar gum were cross-linked and characterized using infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Two samples (experiment C and M) exhibited adsorption capacities of 49.75 ± 1.474 mg g−1 and 26.53 ± 1.326 mg g−1 for glyphosate and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, respectively. Optimal adsorption was observed at pH 3.00 and 6.00 for glyphosate and 3.00 for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The Langmuir and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms best described the adsorption behavior of glyphosate and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, respectively. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order model. Infrared and Raman absorption spectra confirmed cross-linking in the polymer samples. Regeneration tests showed that 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid adsorption remained consistent over three reuse cycles, while glyphosate adsorption increased. Disinfection tests using Escherichia coli and total coliforms demonstrated a significant reduction in colony-forming units, supporting the suitability of the material for this application.
A Study on the Vibration and Noise Reduction of Scrolling-Type Electric Compressor for Electric Vehicles
Authors: Kim ChaeSil , Ha NeungGyo
Published: February 2025

In this study, the causes of vibration and noise reduction occurring in electric compressors for electric vehicles are analyzed, and a reduction plan is proposed. First, the impact hammer modal of the electric compressor housing was measured and compared with the ANSYS modal analysis. As there was no significant difference between the modal analysis results and the impact hammer modal measurement results, the modal analysis was judged to be reliable. The noise measurement results showed that the main noise sources of the development were analyzed in the 600–800 Hz band, 4000–5000 Hz band, and 10,000 Hz band. From the competitor’s analysis of the housing structure and noise measurement results, the 10,000 Hz band was able to reduce noise caused by changes in the carrier frequency of the motor inverter, and the 4000–5000 Hz band showed a significant effect by adjusting the clearance during discharge, and it was confirmed that noise in the 600–800 Hz band could be reduced to some extent only by changing the housing structure such as rib and mounting reinforcement of the housing and thickness change.

Published: February 2025

The landscape of cancer survival has been positively affected by the introduction and dissemination of immunotherapy with the wide usage of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and chimeric antigen receptors cell therapies (CAR-T). The success of these novel therapies can however be limited to a certain extent by systemic inflammatory toxicities affecting directly or indirectly the kidney. In the case of ICIs severe acute interstitial nephritis is the main adverse event and can lead to permanent discontinuation of the therapy. In turn, CAR-T cell therapy can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic lympho-histiocytosis (IEC-HLH), with kidney damage through various mechanisms and be life-threatening. Prompt diagnosis and management of these entities is essential to preserve kidney function and ensure the best possible kidney and overall outcomes to cancer patients.
Comparison of Binary and Traditional Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling: A Study on The Role of Multidimensional Poverty Dimension to Social Protection in Java Island
Authors: Bhakti Diana , Adji Ardi , Mubarok Endang Saefuddin , Sukmono Renny , Salam Rudi
Published: February 2025

Introduction/Main Objectives: The traditional Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method uses an ordinary least squares regression approach that assumes that indicators must have a continuous scale. When the indicators are categorical, the use of traditional PLS-SEM becomes less appropriate. Background Problems: Multidimensional poverty consists of dimensions that are measured by a binary scale. The use of binary PLS-SEM is better than traditional PLS-SEM in modeling the effect of dimensions on social protection on Java Island. Novelty: The use of binary PLS-SEM with factor scores from the item response theory model applied to the role of dimensions of multidimensional poverty to social protection has not been carried out yet. Research Methods: This study introduces binary PLS-SEM, which is modified from traditional PLS-SEM by changing the data input using a tetrachoric correlation matrix. Finding/Results: Empirical results show that the binary PLS-SEM measurement model is better than traditional PLS-SEM. Evaluation of the structural model shows that the path coefficients of binary PLS-SEM are better than traditional PLS-SEM. Both approaches have an overall model fit. The order of multidimensional poverty dimensions that affect social protection are education, living standard, and health.
The efficiency calculation and selection of the optimal energy carrier in the aspect of sustainable development
Authors: Pol Małgorzata , Rutkowska Małgorzata
Published: February 2025

The article examines energy efficiency as part of macro-scale energy resource management, highlighting its priority in the European Union due to climate change, reliance on fossil fuels, sustainable development, and energy security. The authors aim to evaluate the social and environmental effects of selecting the optimal energy carrier for sustainability. They analysed local energy carrier parameters, focusing on non-forest biomass and municipal waste in five Polish regions. The study compares the economic efficiency and profitability of replacing hard coal with more eco-friendly fuels, like non-forest biomass and biodegradable municipal waste. The hypothesis suggests that non-forest biomass is unprofitable when considering social and ecological criteria, while municipal waste is the most cost-effective fuel. Externalities were assessed using the "impact path" methodology from the European Commission's ExternE project, known for accurately estimating external costs and benefits.

Background: Humans are exposed to mercury primarily in its highly toxic form, methyl mercury, which is known to have adverse effects on various organs and systems. The negative impact of mercury exposure on the growth, development, and mental health of children, from infancy to adolescence, is well-documented. However, there are no internationally standardized safe limits for mercury exposure. This study investigated the impact of dietary habits and higher body mass index (BMI) on blood mercury levels in adolescents.Methods: This study analyzed the data from the 4th Korean National Environmental Health Survey (KoNEHS) 2018–2020. The focus was on 825 middle and high school students aged 13–18 years, whose blood mercury levels were measured. A survey on dietary and lifestyle habits was also conducted. Blood mercury levels were categorized by geometric median values, and associations with overweight status and seafood consumption were examined using a generalized linear model.Results: The geometric mean blood mercury level for the entire sample was 1.37 μg/L, with levels of 1.31 μg/L in normal-weight individuals and 1.43 μg/L in overweight individuals, showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups. After adjusting for other variables, blood mercury levels were significantly associated with overweight status (estimate: 0.084; p = 0.018; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.015–0.153), consumption of large fish and tuna more than once a week (estimate: 0.18; p = 0.001; 95% CI: 0.077–0.284), and consumption of fish once a week or more (estimate: 0.147; p = 0.004; 95% CI: 0.043–0.250).Conclusions: In adolescents, a higher BMI and an increased consumption of large fish, tuna, and fish were associated with higher blood mercury levels. Notably, a stronger association was found between large fish consumption and blood mercury levels in the overweight group. These findings suggest the need to moderate seafood consumption and establish more proactive mercury exposure standards for adolescents.
O andarilho e A Grande Sombra
Authors: Martins Priscila Rosa , Cunha Renan Pavini Pereira da
Published: February 2025

Abstract: Characters on a journey are common among texts considered foundational in Literature. In the present article, a parallel is drawn between the works of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s The wanderer and his shadow and the Portuguese writer Mário de Sá-Carneiro’s The great shadow. It is observed that the act of going out into the world by the narrators-characters is accompanied by the projection of the shadow, the form of the being that delimits it and the transition element of the subject’s becoming. Amid the narrative process and the construction of aphorisms, it is possible to establish a dialogue between the authors’ texts. Observing the particularities of the wanderer and the traveller, the metaphors and analogies built from the shadow stand out, not as a mere opposition between light and dark, but as processes of transformation.
As geografias do vento em Ton beau capitaine, de Simone Schwarz-Bart
Authors: Ielpo Rodrigo
Published: February 2025

Written and staged in 1987 during the Troisièmes rencontres caribéennes de théâtre, in Guadeloupe, Ton beau capitaine, a Simone Schwarz-Bart’s play, stages the drama of Wilnor, a Haitian immigrant who leaves his homeland in search of a better life for himself and his family. A precarious worker in Guadaloupe, this character is part of this “strange conference of poets and great human beings” sung by Patrick Chamoiseau (2017) in Frères migrants. And it is through what Paul Gilroy (2012) names as characteristic of an “expressive culture” in opposition to the Enlightenment tradition that would separate art and life that Wilnor’s drama requires the actor’s own body to write in gesture and dance the destiny of your brothers. The objective of this communication is to reflect on the way in which Schwarz-Bart builds a scenic poetics in which absence and presence, secret and revelation move with delicate violence these “geographies of the wind” at the same time constituted by and constitutive of the migration processes that Chamoiseau tells us in his book.
O teatro na República de Weimar
Authors: Flory Alexandre Villibor
Published: February 2025

Abstract: The play Hoppla, we are alive!, written by Ernst Toller and first performed with the direction of Erwin Piscator in 1927, is a fundamental chapter of political theatre. Written and performed during the so-called ‘golden years’ (1924-1929) of the Weimar Republic, the play makes a very accurate critical balance of the tensions and contradictions that are projected onto 1927, always seen from the perspective of the German revolution in 1919. Piscator not only directs but contributes with the dramaturgy, which also gains importance in its production context. Amazingly enough, the play succeeded in being badly evaluated by the left (who considered it defeatist), by the right (who branded it communist) and by theatre critics (who saw the abandonment of expressionism as a purported aesthetic step backwards). In this article, I try to make some considerations about the play in order to show its strenght. I also present part of my translation of the play, to be published soon.
Um ou dois estranhamentos?
Authors: Auad Pedro Henrique Trindade Kalil
Published: February 2025

This paper revisits two major works of 20th century literary theory: Viktor Shklovsky’s "Art as Device" and Marjorie Perloff’s Wittgenstein’s Ladder. Our objective is to understand how the concept of strangeness was articulated by these authors and what are their approximations and distances. Even starting from different bases – linguistics for Shklovsky and philosophy of language for Perloff – and even though Perloff tries to distinguish herself from Shklovsky’s concept, it was also possible to perceive a convergence between these approaches. Finally, we also emphasize a certain productivity that these concepts can still offer to the literary theory today.
Erich Auerbach e a “História das opiniões” sobre Dante no Romantismo Alemão
Authors: Reis Patrícia
Published: February 2025

In „Entdeckung Dantes in der Romantik” (1929), Erich Auerbach conducted a “history of opinions” on Dante in Germany, defending the hypothesis that the first more fundamental unitary readings of the Divine Comedy emerged in Romanticism. In his view, the origin of the Dantean history could be traced back to Giambattista Vico and revered authors of the Sturm und Drang, which is intriguing when considering the preceding traditions, disregarded by the philologist in his text. The reason for this silence, it is argued, would be the conduct of a dispute for the construction of his own theoretical project, lies in the pursuit of establishing one’s own theoretical project focused on the restoration of the historicity of poetic texts in contrast to the stylistic proposition of separating these domains.
GENEALOGI METODE SOROGAN (Telisik Historis Metode Pembelajaran dalam tradisi Pesantren)
Authors: Abdurrahman
Published: February 2025

Pesantren has 5 elements, one of which is the teaching of classic books called the yellow book. The term "book" is always maintained in pesantren to distinguish it from new books. Since the 16th century, there have been translations of these classical books, and starting in the 18th century there were many Archipelago who studied in Arabic; Egypt and Mecca. The pesantren then brought these books along with their curriculum. The preservation of classic dipesantren books is very much influenced by the tradition of sanad or isnad. This research attempts to trace the origin of the methodological genealogy of the sorogan method which is still used in pesantren in Nusantara as one of the methods of learning the yellow book. By using a library research methodology and genealogical analysis, the researcher believes that the genealogical traces of the sorogan method are rooted in 2 methods: (1) the 'aradh method in the tradition of the narration of the hadith, and (2) the tadarus method in the tradition of the narration of the Qur'an' an.

The understanding of ahlus sunnah wa al-jama'ah in nahdlatul ulama includes aspects of aqidah, sharia and morals. All three are a unified teaching that covers all aspects of Islamic religious principles. Based on the Asy'ariyah and maturidiyah manhaj (thought patterns) in the field of aqidah, the four major madzah imams in the field of fiqh (Imam Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'I and Hambali), and in the field of tasawuf adhere to the manhaj of Imam al-Ghazali and Imam Abu al -Qasim al-Junaidi al-Baghdadi, as well as other imams who are in line with Islamic sharia.
The main characteristics of Aswaja NU are the attitude of tawassuth and I'tidal (middle and/or balance). That is, always balance in using arguments, between naqli arguments and aqli arguments, between Jabariyah and Qadariyah opinions and a moderate attitude in addressing dunyawiyah. In matters of fiqh, the middle attitude between "ijtihad" and taqlid is blind. Namely by way of bermazhab. The characteristic of this attitude is firmness in matters that are qath'iyyat and tolerant in matters of zhanniyyat.
Ahlussunnah wal al-jama'ah Islam is the teachings that the Prophet Muhammad conveyed to his friends and he practiced and practiced his friends. Indeed, there are those who consider the hadith to contain weaknesses. However, if it is used as a guideline and guideline for measuring views and behavior that can be justified by Islamic teachings, it will definitely be better than the testimony of experts whose strength and truth are uncertain.
