Padahal pendidikan Islam, bahkan dalam Islam, akal bukanlah satu-satunya pegangan bagi manusia. Sebab ada unsur lain dalam manusia; hati dan ruh. Pendidikan intuisi memberikan pemahaman bahwa semua unsur dalam diri manusia dapat optimal dengan mengoptimalkan hati dan ruh. Menurut al-Ghazali, itulah hakikat manusia. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kepustakaan. Melalui metode analisis interpretasi dan analisis deskriptif terhadap berbagai karya al-Ghazali. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menguraikan pemikiran al-Ghazali terhadap pendidikan intuisi. Oleh karenanya rujukan utama penelitian ini adalah berbagai karya al-Ghazali. Langkah penelitian ini diawali dengan mengidentifikasi data berupa karya-karya al-Ghazali. Kemudian mengklasifikasi melalui observasi terhadap data-data tersebut sesuai topik pembahasan. Setelah itu melakukan analisis data secara interpretatif dan deskriptif untuk menarik kesimpulan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini, diketahui bahwa pendidikan intuisi dapat meningkatkan kecerdasan majemuk manusia. Hal itu didasarkan pada hadist Nabi saw., bahwa jika hati seseorang baik, maka segala dalam dirinya juga baik. Diketahui juga kontribusi al-Ghazali dalam pendidikan intuisi sangat berpengaruh. Sebab ia bukan hanya penggagas konsep pendidikan ini, melainkan pelaku yang mengalami secara langsung bagaimana proses pendidikan intuisi itu berjalan.

Published: February 2024

Background:
Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonotic disease caused by an intracellular facultative microorganism termed Brucella spp. Control of brucellosis depends on test and slaughter policy as well as vaccination programs.
Aim:
Estimation of the cell-mediated immunity (total leukocytic count (TLC), phagocytic activity, phagocytic index, Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)) in camels after vaccination with RB51 using real-time PCR.
Methods:
A total of eight camels were grouped into 2 groups as follows: group (A): vaccinated with RB51 vaccine (1 dose / 2 ml S/C [3x1010 CFU]) and group (B): control group. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were used for estimation of the cell-mediated immunity using real-time PCR on serum samples that were collected at 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 60 days after vaccination from each group. Also, total leukocytic count, phagocytic activity, and phagocytic index were evaluated on heparinized blood samples at 0 and 60 days post-vaccination.
Results:
RB51 vaccine provides a protective immune response which progressively increases from the first week to 60 days after vaccination. Moreover, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 differed between camels in the vaccinated group.
Conclusion:
Vaccination of camels with RB51 vaccine (with dose 3x1010 CFU) could induce good protective immune responses and this immunological response will be a good indication for a safe field vaccine that can be used for the control of camel brucellosis.

Authors: Karim Dina , Amrawi Gamal , Salama Alyaa
Published: February 2024

Background:
Affection with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (C. pseudotuberculosis) and development of cellulitis and/or abscess formation with cutaneous lymphangitis in cattle is rare to some extent, so literature about the biochemical changes that would accompany this infection is rare.
Aim:
In this context, the present study was designed to screen the effect of the infection with C. pseudotuberculosis cutaneous lymphangitis on the release of some immune molecules, organ functions, and redox state in Baladi cows.
Methods:
Fourteen Baladi cows from a small dairy farm in El-Behira, Egypt, were selected to complete this study. After bacteriological culture confirmation, seven of them were found suffering from cutaneous lesions due to infection with C. pseudotuberculosis (Diseased group), while the others were healthy (Healthy group). Serum samples were obtained to evaluate the presumptive changes in some clinicopathological parameters.
Results:
Serum analysis revealed a significant decrease in the levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) as well as a significant decrement in the concentration of beta-defensin (β-defensin) and lipocalin-2 (LCN-2). While serum level of interleukin-10 (IL-10) recorded a significant increase in these animals when compared to healthy control animals. Concurrently, the affected animals recorded a significant elevation in serum levels of hepato-cardiac enzymes, urea, and creatinine in addition to disturbance in the serum redox state.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, infection with C. pseudotuberculosis cattle may disturb the defensive immune state, body organ function, and redox state of the animals.

Authors: Balabel Tarek , Enein Fatma , Eldeen Mohamed , Sabek Ahmed , ALgazzar Eman
Published: February 2024

Background:
When turkeys’ legs come in contact with their dropping during the growing stage results in footpad dermatitis condition which affects the poult's welfare and productivity.
Aim:
Our experiment aimed to detect the impact of different bedding materials on the wellbeing, and performance of growing turkey under Egyptian conditions.
Methods:
180-day-old turkey poults were allocated into three treatments. In treatment I, the poults (60 each with three replicates (n = 20 birds) were kept on wood shavings (WS); in the second treatment, the poults were housed on chopped wheat straw (CWS). But, in the third treatment, they kept on a plastic slatted floor (PSF).
Results:
The greater feed intake and body weight were recorded in poults reared in PSF compared with those kept in other treatments (WS and CWS). FCR didn’t show any significant difference. The mortality percentage was higher in the PSF group than in the WS one. The frequency of feeding and drinking behavior was higher in poults reared on WS treatment compared with other treatments CWS and PSF. On the other hand, resting behavior showed the highest frequency in poults kept in PSF. Contrary, the lowest frequency of walking behavior was recorded in poults reared in PSF treatment. Additionally, the poults kept in WS had a longer tonic immobility reaction period followed by those kept in PSF and CWS. Concerning foot-pad dermatitis, the highest score of 0 was observed in the CWS group, while the highest score of 1 was recorded among poults kept in the WS group. On the other side, the highest score 2, 3, and 4 was observed in the poults reared in the PSF group. Heterophil/Lymphocyte (H/L) ratio of turkey poults was higher in PSF. While T3 and T4 concentrations in blood weren’t affected by using different bedding materials.
Conclusion:
It is concluded that the slatted floor was good for turkey producers from the point of performance but, it’s the worst from the point of welfare.
Impact of Sel-Plex® dietary supplementation on growth performance, physiological response, oxidative status, and immunity linked gene expression in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila
Authors: Moustafa Eman , Shukry Mostafa , Zayed Mohamed , Farrag Foad , Aziz Wesam , Omar Amira
Published: February 2024

Background:
Organic selenium (Sel-Plex®) supplementation holds a considerable promise for improving the effectiveness of fish production.
Aim:
This experiment was accomplished to judge the potential benefits of Sel-Plex® nutritional additive on growth outcomes, physiological response, oxidative status, and immunity-linked gene expression in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings exposed to bacterial infection with Aeromonas hydrophila.
Methods:
Utilizing a basal diet of 30% protein, four experimental diets were prepared, each of which contained Sel-Plex® at concentrations of 0.0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg, respectively. Three replicates of 20 fish/treatment were used using 240 healthy Nile tilapia fingerlings. Fish were placed in twelve glass aquariums and separated into four groups at random. For the entire span of 8 weeks, diets were admitted to fish at a 3% rate of fish biomass/aquarium. After the feeding trial, pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila was intraperitoneally injected into fish of each treatment, and fish were observed for fifteen days to track the survival rate after the challenge.
Results:
Growth performance, physiological response, immunological parameters (Phagocytic activity, Phagocytic index, and Lysozyme), and antioxidant parameters (Catalase, Superoxide dismutase, Malondialdehyde, and Glutathione Peroxidase) were noticeably improved in Sel-Plex® treated groups. Moreover, Sel-Plex® increased gene expression linked with the immune system in the liver (TNF-α, and IL-1β), to growth (IGF-1, and GHr), and antioxidants (SOD, and GSH-Px). Under pathogen-challenge conditions, the employed dietary Sel-Plex® supplementation could successfully lower fish oxidative stress, offering a potential preventive additive for Nile tilapia instead of antibiotics. On the other hand, Sel-Plex® significantly enhanced each of three intestinal morphological measurements (villus width, villus length, and crypt depth), demonstrating the greatest influence on the improvement of intestinal structure overall. In the Nile tilapia control group, the infection with A. hydrophila caused noticeable degenerative alterations in the gut, hepatopancreas, spleen, and posterior kidney. The severity of the lesion was significantly reduced and significantly improved with higher Sel-Plex® concentrations. Sel-Plex® supplemented groups had 100% survival rates among the A. hydrophila-challenged groups.
Conclusion:
It could be advised to enrich the diets of Nile tilapia fingerlings with 1-2 mg.kg−1 of Sel-Plex® to enhance growth rate, physiological response, immunological reaction, and intestinal absorptive capacity.

Authors: Alhakbani Noura
Published: February 2024

Practical experience plays a vital role in helping students determine their desired fields, bridging the gap between the labor market and the academic output of university students. Startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have been recognized as effective drivers of economic and social growth by providing valuable services and employment opportunities. These companies also contribute to the development of technical and managerial skills through training programs. However, SMEs often face challenges in recruiting and training manpower due to their limited resources and the absence of dedicated human resources (HR) departments.Technological advancements have revolutionized recruitment methods, offering solutions to various challenges. The recruitment process, a critical function of HR departments, aims to identify the most suitable candidates for company positions. Tech giants have introduced innovative approaches, utilizing technical services and improved e-recruitment platforms to enhance employee recruitment and extend work flexibility. While e-recruitment platforms efficiently reach a large pool of potential job seekers, they often struggle with accurately matching applicants with job requirements using the Boolean search technique.To address these challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are increasingly employed in e-recruitment processes. AI algorithms excel in handling repetitive tasks, enhancing hiring processes, increasing work flexibility, and improving decision-making, thereby reducing time and effort required for hiring. Organizations are encouraged to adopt these advanced technologies to gain a competitive advantage in recruitment and selection, with recommender systems (RSs) becoming crucial in achieving optimal matches between job seekers and jobs.This research project aims to design and develop a mobile application that supports the Arabic language. The application targets both students and startups/SMEs, offering a platform for startups and SMEs to find talented employees for essential tasks and projects. Simultaneously, students, including high school, university, and fresh graduates, can access job opportunities aligned with their interests, developing their skills and building their careers. The application provides flexibility, enabling students to utilize their free time and gain practical experience. By strengthening students' resumes and providing practical experience before graduation, they become familiar with market needs and can actively work towards meeting them.
A flexible map of flourishing: The dynamics and drivers of flourishing, well-being, health, and happiness
Authors: Lomas Tim , Pawelski James O. , VanderWeele Tyler J.
Published: February 2024

Concepts like flourishing, well-being, health, and happiness are of increasing interest across many fields, from psychology and medicine to politics and economics. However, these terms are used in diverse and contested ways, which makes it hard to find common ground and understanding. To attempt to help remedy the confusion, this paper offers an overarching conceptual “map” within which these concepts can be situated, thereby providing a common language and framework for their consideration. Moreover, while the overall configuration of this map is conceptually and logically stable, its specific elements are more flexible, particularly in terms of scalable granularity (allowing fine-grained differentiation of internal regions) and epistemological openness (allowing revisions in light of gains in knowledge). As such, the map can be adapted to suit different fields, and updated to accommodate advances in understanding. To that end, we clarify topics of investigation that are still in need of development, providing a roadmap for future research.
Embodied emotional expressions for intuitive experience sampling methods: A demographic investigation with Japanese speakers
Authors: Murata Aiko , Zhou Yizhen , Watanabe Junji
Published: February 2024

Experience Sampling Method (ESM) is a research procedure for monitoring ever-changing subjective emotions in our daily lives. A typical method asks participants, several times a day, to report and rate their emotions in terms of pre-defined adjective scales (e.g., “2 for sad,” and “5 for happy”). When a scale includes many adjectives, rating time is increased for participants. However, when few adjectives are provided, respondents may struggle to find descriptors that truly match their internal state, making it difficult to express the complex nuances of multiple emotions. This paper reports the development of a novel approach to ESM in which participants choose only a single word that intuitively expresses common emotion categories and intensities with minimal demands on their time. To achieve this capability, we conducted a survey with 14,321 Japanese speakers that presented a list of intuitive and embodied emotional expressions such as mimetics(e.g., “thump-thump”) and interjections (e.g., “wow”) in Japanese, categorized according to the eight primary emotions and three levels of emotional intensity used in the Plutchik model, and asked them to choose the expressions they use in their daily lives. The results showed that the most frequently used expressions were generally consistent irrespective of gender or age, and that people differentiated their use of expressions according to the category and intensity of their emotions. Our findings indicate that it is possible to create a single common list of expressions that can be used by all genders and ages to efficiently and intuitively express nuanced emotions appropriate to their inner states without the person having to think deliberately.
Subjective well-being and chronic illnesses: A combined survey and register study
Authors: Aaskoven Maiken Skovrider , Kjær Trine , Gyrd-Hansen Dorte
Published: February 2024

Populations are ageing, and higher proportions live with chronic illnesses. Understanding the association between health and well-being and being able to predict who may experience the largest detriment in well-being is essential if societies are to maintain high levels of social welfare. Our study places itselfin the limited literature examining the association between chronic illness and subjective well-being (SWB). We offer a unique contribution to the literature by studying different domains of SWB and by investigating variation in SWB.A cross-sectional survey of a representative group of Danish citizens aged 50-80 is linked with national register data containing comprehensive information on health and social issues. We identify six common chronic illnesses. In addition to general life satisfaction, we also measure SWB in seven domains of life, including health, using the Personal Wellbeing Index. Health state is measured by EQ-5D-5L. We use OLS and adjust for socio-demographics, lifestyle, personal skills, preferences, and personality traits. In a range of heterogeneity analyses we explore the role of 22 personal characteristics as predictive factors of SWB when being chronically ill. We also examine two possible sources of variation in SWB.We find robust evidence of negative associations between chronic illness and older individuals’ SWB beyond the health domain. When ascertaining the influence of personal characteristics, we find that some factors predict vulnerability. Interestingly, heterogeneity in SWB across personal characteristics stem from differential health state and in some cases from differences in the association between SWB and health.
The influence of psychological climate for caring and perceived insider status on the relationship between managerial caring and positive employee well-being
Authors: Aldabbas Hazem , Bettayeb Amel
Published: February 2024

Learning the factors that positively impact employee well-being is not a new stream of study. The care and support provided by managers can influence employees’ motivation and overall well-being. The positive emotional environment created by a caring climate can significantly impact how individuals feel and function in their professional lives. Additionally, perceived insider status, which reflects a sense of belonging and integration, can positively affect self-esteem and well-being. Social identity theory posits that positive well-being occurs when individual employees feel that they are surrounded by a climate of care signaled by the direct manager and overall employee acceptance within the organization, which ultimately influences their overall positive well-being. This study collected data from 197 employees working in the service sector in different industries within the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through survey questionnaires using a convenience sampling technique. Partial least squares structural equation modeling(PLS-SEM) version 4 was used to analyze the dataset and test the hypotheses. The results indicate that managerial caring relates positively to positive employee well-being. Furthermore, a psychological climate of care and perceived insider status seriallymediate the relationship between managerial caring and positive employee well-being. Thus, this study offers new insights into the importance of managerial care in employees’ positive well-being within their organizations, as well as the caring model among managers and employees. Managers who show and develop an atmosphere of care toward employees enhance their positive well-being.
Metrics for education for flourishing: A framework
Authors: VanderWeele Tyler J. , Hinton Christina
Published: February 2024

The present paper puts forward a framework for the development, use, and selection of metrics concerning education for flourishing, intended to assist with the assessment of educational efforts to promote student flourishing. These metrics pertain to education policies and practices aimed at both traditional cognitive and epistemic aims and aspects of flourishing that extend beyond those aims, and to both present and subsequent flourishing. Various methodological considerations are discussed and three sets of individual and systems-level metrics are put forward. Both the individual and the systems-level metrics are structured around three broad, interrelated categories: (i) present flourishing; (ii) academic achievement; and (iii) social, emotional, and character-related capacities. We focus on metrics that are constitutive of and/or causally efficacious for present and subsequent flourishing and that also fall within the purview of what an educational system can reasonably alter. Discussion is given to the uses, implications, and limitations of this framework and how it might be helpful in advancing efforts at education for flourishing.

This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of HPV and HPV-related diseases as well as associated influencing factors among young Chinese people aged 15-26 years. Participants aged 15-26 years living in mainland China were recruited between September 2022 and March 2023 by convenience sampling. Demographic characteristics and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of HPV and HPV-related diseases were assessed in questionnaires. The data collection process of this cross-sectional study was executed online. Data analysis used descriptive statistical analysis, chi-squared (χ2) test, and binary logistic regression analysis. In this study, 1005 valid questionnaires were collected. 910 had heard of HPV, 835 had a high level of HPV knowledge, 778 had a high level of HPV-related diseases knowledge, and the HPV vaccination rate was 23.10%. The logistic regression analysis showed that aged 19-22 years (OR=2.330, p=0.001), aged 23-26 years (OR=3.216, p=0.005), female (OR=3.020, p<0.001), majoring in medicine (OR=2.109, p<0.001), having relatives engaged in medical work (OR=2.234, p<0.001), and using condoms at sexual intercourse (OR=2.322, p=0.009) were the influencing factors of HPV knowledge. Furthermore, the result showed that aged 19-22 years (OR=1.925, p=0.003) and aged 23-26 years (OR=2.484, p=0.009), majoring in medicine (OR=2.799, p<0.001) and using condoms at sexual intercourse (OR=3.262, p<0.001) were the influencing factors of HPV-related diseases knowledge. The findings revealed that young people aged 15-26 years had a high level of HPV and HPV-related diseases knowledge, but they still did not have enough in-depth understanding. Besides, the HPV vaccination rate was low, but the vaccination intention was high. In the future, it is necessary further to strengthen health education on HPV and HPV-related diseases, optimize HPV vaccination policy, and promote HPV vaccination.
