Meaning, Colouring, and Logic: Kaplan vs. Frege on Pejoratives
Authors: Soutif Ludovic
Published: August 2022

Although Frege’s aim was not to provide a semantic theory for a natural language, he made, to say the least, valuable and enduring contributions to semantic theory, understood as the assignment of semantic values, and possibly, further meaning properties to natural language expressions. His arguing, notably in Frege (1892), for the assignment to any well-formed linguistic expression of a sense (Sinn), in addition to its reference (Bedeutung) — if any—, is one — and, arguably, the most celebrated and disputed among his contributions.
The Inhibitory Effect on Tumor Cells Proliferation Induced by Arsenic Through
DNMTs and its Downstream Molecules: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Zhang Jingyi , Li Sheng , Ma Mingxiao , Li Shugang
Published: August 2022

Background:

We aimed to systematically evaluate the regulatory effect of arsenic on DNMTs and its downstream molecules in tumor cells, and to provide a theoretical basis for revealing the specific mechanism of arsenic in the treatment of tumors

Methods:

Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0, and differences between groups were described as standard mean differences

Results:

We found out that compared with the control group, the expression of DNMT1, DNMT3a, DNMT3b, MMP-9 & β-catenin decreased and the expression of RECK and E-cadherin increased in arsenic-treated group. Subgroup analysis showed that high-dose arsenic exposure (> 2 μmol/L) reduced the expression of DNMT1, DNMT3b, MMP-9, and β-catenin and promoted the expression of E-cadherin. Arsenic could decrease the level of DNMT1, MMP-9 & β-catenin and increase the level of E-cadherin with short-time arsenic intervention (≤ 48 h). Arsenic could reduce DNMT1, DNMT3a, DNMT3b & β-catenin in hematological tumor cells; under the effect of arsenic, the expression of DNMT1, DNMT3b, MMP-9 & β-catenin were decreased in solid tumor cells. In addition, the regulation of arsenic on DNMT3a was dose-dependent in the range of arsenic concentration from 0 to 5.0 μmol/L. The dose, time, and cell types of arsenic intervention were the sources of heterogeneity

Conclusion:

Arsenic could inhibit the proliferation and viability of tumor cells, and its mechanism may be related to the reduction of DNMTs and regulation of the expression of its downstream molecules. Overall, arsenic may be a possible candidate for the treatment of tumors.

:

: Glycyrrhiza uralensis has been used as a traditional medicine for generations. Chalcones are one of the typical chemical constituents of G. uralensis. In this paper, phytochemical research on roots of G. uralensis was performed, leading to the isolation and identification of a previously undescribed chalcone glycoside (1). Its structure was established by means of comprehensive spectral analysis and acid hydrolysis. Moreover, bioactivity assay revealed that 1 showed a promotive effect on IEC-6 cell proliferation and evidently reversed DFMO-driven IEC-6 cell growth arrest. The results indicate that 1 might be used for the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis.

Authors: Wang Jixia , Hou Juanjuan , Jiang Pengwei , Zhang Yaling , Li Jiankun , Wu Shang , Zhan Huiying , Yang Quanlu
Published: August 2022

Specific recognition of ultra-trace levels of ions in semi-water using super-quicker methods is still a challenge for environmental monitoring. The development of ion-selective fluorescence sensors for selective detection of Al3+ is an essential task because of the importance of Al3+ to the human body. A fluorescent chemosensor S based on quinoline as a binding and signaling unit has been designed and synthesized in a one-step procedure. More importantly, when Al3+ ions are added to the sensor S, it showed immediate responses toward Al3+ ions in dimethylformamide (DMF) solution with the strong blue fluorescence quenching. And the S detection limit (LOD) of Al3+ in aqueous media (1.0 M) is 1.75x10-7 M. Furthermore, the proposed mechanism of action for sensor S and metal ions has been learned using some research techniques such as FE-SEM, FT-IR, XRD and XPS. Further, the fluorescence chemical sensor specifically recognizes the metal aluminum ion.

Authors: Uphade Bhagwat K. , Parhad Amol R. , Aute Dilip S. , Gadhave Anil G.
Published: August 2022

The present work reports the hydrothermal synthesis of Fe doped gallium oxide nanoparticles and its characterization by IR, XRD, SEM, and EDX techniques. The characterization of Fe doped gallium oxide nanomaterial reveals the 18.58 nm particle size with monoclinic phase. The catalytic activity of nanomaterial was efficiently assessed for one-pot domino Knoevenagel and Michael's addition of different aldehydes, dimedone, and malononitriles to give tetrahydrobenzo [b] pyran derivatives. The remarkable features associated with this green protocol are good to excellent product yields (60-94%), non-chromatographic purification of product, shorter reaction time, and easy work up. The reusability and non-toxic nature of this nanomaterial catalyst escalate the importance of this work.
Melianone inhibits Secreted Aspartic Proteases (SAP), a Virulence Factor
During Hyphal Formation in Candida albicans
Authors: Lokeswari T. Sivaswamy , Veni Amalanathan , Pavithra Dhanapal , Sugapriya Thennavan
Published: August 2022

Background & Objective:

Candida albicans (C.-P. Robin) Berkhout, the pathogenic
yeasts’ ability to transform from yeast to hyphal forms in the bloodstream is essential during systemic
infections. Among the several virulence factors studied, secreted aspartic proteinases (SAPs)
involved in hyphal penetration are targets of putative hyphal inhibitors. Upregulation of SAP6
gene, (two-to 31- fold high) during budded to hyphal transition and lack of studies on its inhibition,
prompted us to investigate this particular protein using in silico tools.

Results:

Hyphal inhibition of germinating yeast cells by melianone, a triterpenoid, from Swietenia
mahagoni (L.) Jacq. (Meliaceae) was observed at 0.1 μM (IC50). One of the targets of putative hyphal
inhibitors, SAP, was assayed and for the first time, 50 % of the biological SAP activity was
found to be inhibited by melianone at 0.125 μM. This data on SAP inhibition led us to analyse the
3-dimensional structure for SAP6 protein that was constructed through a combination of homology
modelling and ab-initio method (Phyre2) and validated before performing Induced Fit Docking
(IFD). Melianone formed H-bond and hydrophobic interactions with the crucial residues (ASP108,
TYR160, ALA161, ASP162, ASP294, THR297, ASP379) in the catalytic site of SAP6 with a glide
energy (-)54.9327 kcal/mol upon Induced Fit Docking (IFD).

Conclusion:

We report here for the first time on the SAP inhibitory ability of melianone at 0.125
uM. Being a small molecular mass inhibitor, binding with high affinity to the S3 pocket sites of
SAP proteins provides evidence for pre-clinical testing of such compounds against fungal pathogens.
The study is a valuable insight for further research on novel and effective inhibitors targeting
SAP.
Measuring the Economic Contribution of Agricultural Cooperatives to the National Economy: The Case of Greece
Authors: Semou Vasiliki , Sergaki Panagiota , Tremma Ourania
Published: August 2022

Aims:

The purpose of this work is to determine the contribution of agricultural cooperatives to the Greek economy.

Background:

Agricultural cooperatives in Greece offered the maximum to agriculture, but their contribution to the overall economy of the country was not sufficiently studied. This work deals with the offer of the operation of agricultural cooperatives in key sectors of the economy.

Objective:

The object of this study is the agricultural cooperatives in Greece and the benefits to the Greek economy from their activity.

Methods:

The method of analysis used is that of the input-output method and the estimation of multipliers in specific sectors of the economy that were considered important.

Results:

The findings of this study show some interesting facts and reveal the financial contribution of agricultural cooperatives in several sectors of the economy. The sector that seems to have the most significant contribution is total production, which is essentially the country’s GDP growth. The contribution to employment growth is also very important in working income. Another interesting finding from the multiplier estimate for the action of agricultural cooperatives in Greece is not the total number of economic impacts directly related to the operation of agricultural cooperatives but the positive contribution of individual cooperatives to the national economy.

Conclusion:

Empirical analysis showed that only companies of secondary agricultural cooperatives and tertiary cooperatives were included to address mainly practical issues such as data availability. The final result indicated that cooperatives contribute to a satisfactory degree to the national economy.
The Use of Machine Learning in MicroRNA Diagnostics: Current
Perspectives
Authors: Christou Chrysanthos D. , Mitsas Angelos C. , Vlachavas Ioannis , Tsoulfas Georgios
Published: August 2022

:

MicroRNAs constitute small non-coding RNAs that play a pivotal role in regulating the
translation and degradation of mRNA and have been associated with many diseases. Artificial Intelligence
(AI) is an evolving cluster of interrelated fields, with machine learning (ML) standing out as
one of the most prominent AI fields, with a plethora of applications in almost every aspect of human
life. ML could be defined as computer algorithms that learn from past data to predict future data. This
review comprehensively reviews the current applications of microRNA-based ML models in
healthcare. The majority of the identified studies investigated the role of microRNA-based ML models
in the management of cancer and specifically gastric cancer (maximum diagnostic accuracy (Accmax):
94%), pancreatic cancer (Accmax: 93%), colorectal cancer (Accmax: 100%), breast cancer
(Accmax: 97%), ovarian cancer, neck squamous cell carcinoma, liver cancer, lung cancer (Accmax:
100%), and melanoma. Except for cancer, microRNA-based ML models have been applied for a
plethora of other diseases, including ulcerative colitis (Accmax: 92.8%), endometriosis, gestational
diabetes mellitus (Accmax: 86%), hearing loss, ischemic stroke, coronary heart disease (Accmax:
96%), tuberculosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension (Accmax: 83%), dementia (Accmax: 82.9%),
major cardiovascular events in end-stage renal disease patients, and alcohol dependence (Accmax:
79.1%). Our findings suggest that the development of microRNA-based ML models could be used to
enhance the diagnostic accuracy of a plethora of diseases while at the same time substituting or minimizing
the use of more invasive diagnostic means (such as endoscopy). Even not as fast as anticipated,
AI will eventually infiltrate the entire healthcare industry. AI is the key to a clinical practice
where medicine's inherent complexity is embraced. Therefore, AI will become a reality that physicians
should conform with to avoid becoming obsolete.
Plant MicroRNA Potential in Targeting Sars-CoV-2 Genome Offering
Efficient Antiviral MiRNA-Based Therapies
Authors: Hajieghrari Behzad , Rahmanian-Koshkaki Sara
Published: August 2022

Background:

In 2019, severe acute respiratory coronavirus II (or SARS-COV-2)
emerged in Wuhan, China, rapidly becoming a global pandemic. Coronavirus genus (Coronaviridae)
has the largest single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome (~30 kb) among the human infected
single-stranded RNA viruses.

Objectives:

For the study of active therapeutic plant-derived miRNA(s), it may be possible to uptake
the miRNAs and their biological role in the host cell. In this study, we bioinformatically
searched plant miRNAs that can potentially interact with the Sars-CoV-2 genome within the 3’-
UTR region and have prompt antiviral activity.

Materials and Methods:

We searched the plant miRNAs that target the 3’-UTR flanking region of
the Sars-CoV-2 genome by employing the RNAHybrid, RNA22, and STarMir miRNA/target prediction
tools.

Results:

The RNAHybrid algorithm found 63 plant miRNAs having hybridization energy with less
or equal to -25 kcal.mol-1. Besides, RNA22 and STarMir tools identified eight interactions between
the plant miRNAs and the targeted RNA sequence. pvu-miR159a. 2 and sbi-miR5387b were predicted
as the most effectively interacting miRNAs in targeting the 3’-UTR sequence, not only by the
RNA22 tool but also by the STarMir tool at the same position. However, the GC content of the pvumiR159a.
2 is 55% instead of sbi-miR5387b, which is a GC enriched sequence (71.43%) that may
activate TLR receptors.

Conclusions:

In our opinion, they are potent plant-derived miRNA candidates that have a great
chance of targeting the Sars-CoV-2 genome in the 3’-UTR region in vitro. Therefore, we propose
pvu-miR159a.2 for studying antiviral miRNA-based therapies without any essential side effects in
vivo.
Examining the Causes of Maternal Mortality in Pregnant Women Since
the Beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Hamadan Province, Western
Iran: A Research Article
Authors: Masoumi Seyedeh Zahra , Ghelichkhani Samereh , Keramat Fariba , Jalili Ebrahim , Moshayedi Faezeh , Shirzadeh Azam Ali , Eghbalian Mostafa , Hajialiakbari Venus , Shahbazi Fatemeh
Published: August 2022

Background:

Maternal mortality prevention and delivering optimal outcomes for both mother
and fetus is the utmost concern of health systems in any country.

Objective:

This study aimed to examine maternal mortality in pregnant women since the beginning of the
COVID-19 pandemic in Hamadan province, western Iran. Examining the causes of maternal mortality
can be valuable in identifying mortality factors in line with prospective strategic plans.

Methods:

This case series study introduces the data of seven deceased pregnant women, the deaths of
whom occurred since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (December 2019 – March 2021) in the
hospitals of cities within Hamadan province. All data were reported at the time of death or at least 14 days
after hospital admission. In this study, epidemiological features and pregnancy history, background diseases,
clinical symptoms, initial vital signs, medications in use, clinical laboratory values, delivery type,
and neonatal outcome were assessed, respectively.

Results:

In the seven maternal mortality cases reported in this study, three women succumbed to pregnancy-
related causes (two cases of preeclampsia and one case of antiphospholipid syndrome), and four women
to severe coronavirus disease. All deceased mothers had been admitted to the intensive care unit as a
result of severe illness. Four cases concerned a background condition as well, which included thromboembolic
disorders, epilepsy, and lupus. In mortality cases, two women displayed a BMI score over 30.
One maternal death had occurred 42 days postpartum, while five deaths had occurred prior to 37 weeks of
gestation, and one past 37 weeks of gestation.

Conclusion:

This report provided valuable information on maternal mortality factors. Maternal mortality
necessitates a careful acquisition of monitoring data, but in the prevailing pandemic circumstances, caution
necessitates raising awareness of the maternal mortality potential in women with COVID-19 diagnosis
in the second or third trimester. Pregnancy care programs must focus on recognizing high-risk groups
of mothers-to-be with background conditions and risk factors for pregnancy, given that early diagnosis
and prompt referral are invaluable in the immediate treatment and relief of pregnant mothers-to-be.

O método Quadripolar e a sua aplicação em trabalhos científicos
Authors: Gouveia Luís Borges , Nogueira Daniele
Published: August 2022

This article presents a study on the use and exploitation of the quadripolar method in the context of master's and doctoral studies mainly in Information Science. To this end, studies conducted in Portugal and Brazil between 2006 and 2019 were surveyed. In the field of Information Science, whose object information is taken as a phenomenon, therefore with greater complexity and scope, namely social, a methodological approach that deals with this complexity is required. Thus, the quadripolar method is a viable option that assists in the approach of phenomena associated with information, its use and exploitation, in the context of Information Science. The Quadripolar Method proposes a multidisciplinary approach in which it combines both the qualitative and quantitative approaches, proposing a dynamic research instrument, based on the result of the interaction between four poles: epistemological; theoretical; technical and morphological. This approach allows the double study of the problem in question, both in its context and as a representative of a common class of similar problems.
Literacia informacional ou competência em informação?
Authors: Satur Roberto Vilmar , Azevedo Alexander Willian
Published: August 2022

The question, the doubt, the investigation and the reflection nourish our thoughts, because they make us understand some of the reasons why. Uneasy to know why there are different terminologies in the same language (portuguese) to define something that is the same, the authors try to reflect first on what generated such a difference that in fact is not a difference: information literacy versus information competence to define which in english is called Information Literacy. They do not perceive errors, but differences in application strategies taking into account how the expression would be better according to the local culture. After all, even countries speaking the same languageare on different continents, with different backgrounds and cultural influences. The importance of interculturality in this context is evident. Another concern raised by the authors sought to understand whether the term information competence in itself already defines everything that involves “competences” in information and communication technology to use it as a tool or whether it needs to use digital competence, or digital literacy, together. The conclusion also refers to the fact that there are different interpretations of Information Literacy, and in the current context of digital culture, it cannot be imagined without considering together the digital technologies of information and communication, which is not wrong if it is also presented separately.

Published: August 2022

This study aims to analyze the management of distance learning in elementary schools during the pandemic. This study is a phenomenological study conducted on distance learning conducted by primary school teachers during the pandemic. The subjects of this research are teachers who have conducted distance learning, students, and parents of students. Data collection is done by using interviews. The data analysis technique used is qualitative analysis through data collection, datacondensation, data presentation, and data verification. This study concludes that the planning for distance learning during the pandemic is done by choosing important competencies to be conveyed to students by paying attention to learning situations that must be delivered remotely. In the aspect of implementing distance learning, various techniques used by teachers are found in managing their learning. However, in general, all these managements utilize technology assistance in carrying out their learning, both synchronous and asynchronous. To obtain information related to the achievement of goals, the teacher evaluates distance learning by utilizing online applications that can be run both on smartphones and computer devices. This is done to obtain the results of the learning evaluation compliant with the material that has been delivered during the process of implementing distance learning.
The First National Program of Remote Cardiac Rehabilitation in Israel–Goal Achievements, Adherence, and Responsiveness in Older Adult Patients: Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Nabutovsky Irene , Breitner Daniel , Heller Alexis , Scheinowitz Mickey , Klempfner Yarin , Klempfner Robert
Published: August 2022

Background

Remote cardiac rehabilitation (RCR) after myocardial infarction is an innovative Israeli national program in the field of telecardiology. RCR is included in the Israeli health coverage for all citizens. It is generally accepted that telemedicine programs better apply to younger patients because it is thought that they are more technologically literate than are older patients. It has also previously been thought that older patients have difficulty using technology-based programs and attaining program goals.

Objective

The objectives of this study were as follows: to study patterns of physical activity, goal achievement, and improvement in functional capacity among patients undergoing RCR over 65 years old compared to those of younger patients; and to identify predictors of better adherence with the RCR program.

Methods

A retrospective study of patients post–myocardial infarction were enrolled in a 6-month RCR program. The activity of the patients was monitored using a smartwatch. The data were collected and analyzed by a special telemedicine platform. RCR program goals were as follows: 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week, 120 minutes of the activity in the target heart rate recommended by the exercise physiologist, and 8000 steps per day. Models were created to evaluate variables predicting adherence with the program.

Results

Out of 306 patients, 80 were older adults (mean age 70 years, SD 3.4 years). At the end of the program, there was a significant improvement in the functional capacity of all patients (P=.002). Specifically, the older adult group improved from a mean 8.1 (SD 2.8) to 11.2 (SD 12.6). The metabolic equivalents of task (METs) and final MET results were similar among older and younger patients. During the entire program period, the older adult group showed better achievement of program goals compared to younger patients (P=.03). Additionally, we found that younger patient age is an independent predictor of early dropout from the program and completion of program goals (P=.045); younger patients were more likely to experience early program dropout and to complete fewer program goals.

Conclusions

Older adult patients demonstrated better compliance and achievement of the goals of the remote rehabilitation program in comparison with younger patients. We found that older age is not a limitation but rather a predictor of better RCR program compliance and program goal achievement.
Patient Design: The Importance of Including Patients in Designing Health Care
Authors: Meskó Bertalan , deBronkart Dave
Published: August 2022

A paradigm shift is underway in the patient-clinician relationship, driven by irreversible changes in information access, yet the model under which clinicians are trained, care is conducted, and care delivery is designed has not changed significantly even though we call it “patient centered.” Humanity endured centuries in which even doctors had little idea what the patient’s problem really was. Science slowly solved that, and for a century, only doctors could know what was worth knowing. Today, the rise of the internet and digital health has led to the end of that era. We are already witnessing early signs of the era of participatory health: genuinely empowered people living their lives and managing their health according to their own priorities, in partnership and consultation with physicians as needed. This may feel like a threat to the physician’s sacred role, but it is no more so than when physicians adopted informed consent and then shared decision-making. In the 2010s, many pharmaceutical, medical, and health care companies started to use patient centricity as a mantra. We argue that to drive this paradigm change fully into existence, we need to shift “patient centricity” from a relatively passive process, driven by industry needs, into a far more active, collaborative process driven by both parties’ needs and preferences. To build this new world of practice and workflow, we simply must engage with patients as true partners. To achieve medicine’s new potential, it must be optimized around the wants and priorities of the ultimate stakeholder—the party that has the most at stake in how it all plays out: the patient. Patient design is the approach that can make it happen.
Model based on system dynamics for project portfolio management in industries
Authors: Cadenas Anaya Carmelina Rosario , Guaita Wilfredo , Rodriguez Monroy Carlos
Published: August 2022

In organizations, one of the biggest challenges lies in strategic decision-making. In the case of Project Portfolio Management, companies have been incorporating classic tools to reduce uncertainty in this process. This document proposes a new model based on system dynamics, with a different approach to classic strategic project management models. Initially a conceptual model constructed using the root definition of the "Soft System Methodology", proposed by the causal relationships proposed by Peter Chekland and Peter Senge, is proposed. Subsequently, the flow model built on the basis of what is proposed by Jhon Sterman is presented. The model translates the interactions of strategic thinking, project portfolio management, project management and production management into a mathematical model that explains the forms of growth and decline in the real system. It was applied in the Colombian poultry sector in order to validate it. The model is a virtual learning environment that reduces uncertainty in strategic decision-making associated with project portfolios.
Investigation of emission behaviour for tamarind seed powder-based firecracker
Authors: R Manikandan , Shanmugavel Rajesh
Published: August 2022

In the fireworks industry during the bursting of firecrackers, people are affected by health issues by inhaling the chemical particulates matter. When bursting of a firecracker, fuel is mixed with oxygen and releases energy in the form of heat and also contaminated gases. Tamarind seed powder-based fire crackers have been taken for analysis and an emission test was performed. For existing firecrackers, the rate of emissions like CO, CO2, HC, O2, PEF is in the range of 0.032, 0.020, 15, 28.13, and 0.546. For Tamarind seed powder-based firecracker the emission range is reduced compared to the normal firecracker and the emission test results are 0.018, 0.10, 6, 22.12, and 0.546. From the emission test results, the discharge rate of CO and HC, and O2 is reduced for modified firecracker composition. So the Tamarind seed powder-based firecracker influences less emission rate and makes the environment cleaner.

Work-related use of information and communication technologies and error admission: The roles of emotional exhaustion and person–organization fit
Authors: Peng Xianjie , Sheng Yiyun , Huo Weiwei
Published: August 2022

We examined the effects of work-related use of information and communication technologies after hours (W_ICTs) by applying the job demands–resources model and person–environment fit theory. Our focus was on the mechanism of the impact of W_ICTs on employees' nonwork time
error admission, the mediating effect of emotional exhaustion, and the moderating effect of person–organization fit. We used experience sampling to make repeated measurements at different time points to obtain the dynamic variation of the variables. There were 55 participants who completed
online questionnaires for 10 consecutive workdays, resulting in 1,035 valid questionnaires for analysis. We found that employees' daily W_ICTs had significant negative effects on their error admission, and significant positive effects on their emotional exhaustion. Further, emotional exhaustion
mediated the relationship between W_ICTs and error admission, and person–organization fit negatively moderated the relationship between emotional exhaustion and error admission.
Moral disengagement mediates the relationship between idiosyncratic deals and core employees' prosocial rule breaking
Authors: Zhang Kun , Wang Guomeng , Mo Shuya
Published: August 2022

The majority of past studies on employees' prosocial rule breaking have focused on the effects of individual traits, work characteristics, or leadership behavior. We used social cognitive theory to examine the effect of idiosyncratic deals on core employees' prosocial rule breaking
from the perspective of employee–organization relations. Using a longitudinal design, we conducted a survey with 395 Chinese core employees. The results show that idiosyncratic deals were positively related to core employees' prosocial rule breaking, and that moral disengagement played
a partial mediating role in this relationship. This study gives new insight into the processes through which idiosyncratic deals increase core employees' prosocial rule breaking, and provides important suggestions for how to reduce prosocial rule breaking in organizations. Theoretical and
practical implications and future research prospects are discussed.
Corporate social responsibility and Chinese employees' creative behavior: Supervisor–subordinate guanxi as a mediator
Authors: Song Zhenjie , Jiang Kangqin
Published: August 2022

Although researchers have reported a positive link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee creative behavior, how this connection develops remains an underexplored topic, particularly in the Chinese context. From the Chinese guanxi perspective, we investigated if supervisor–subordinate guanxi plays a crucial role in mediating the relationship between these two variables. We conducted a survey to collect data from 239 subordinate–supervisor dyads employed in a variety of organizations in China. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. We observed a positive association between CSR and employee creative behavior, and supervisor–subordinate guanxi partially mediated this link. Our findings will assist in improvement of understanding of CSR and supervisor–subordinate guanxi for enhancing employees' creative behavior in organizations. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Hak khiyar yang memberikan informasi spesifik terkait produk yang sejenis namun berbeda kualitas adalah khiyar ta’yin. Pada praktiknya dalam pemebelian produk elektronik pada marketplace Shopee, tersedia kolom komentar dan testimoni yang memuat berbagai pengalaman konsumen terkait produk elektronik yang telah mereka beli sebelumnya dalam kolom komentar dan testimoni tersebut juga terdapat ulasan terkait informasi produk baik dari segi kualitas dan lain sebagainya, namun banyak konsumen yang menggunakan testimoni dan komentar sebagai referensi merasa tertipu dalam hal kualitas produk karena tidak sesuai dengan isi keterangan yang diberikan dalam ulasan testimoni dan komentar pada marketplace Shopee, dengan demikian penulis ingin mengetahui tentang tinjauan hukum Islam terhadap implementasi khiyar ta’yin pada transaksi pembelian produk elektronik pada marketplace Shopee, permasalahan dalam skripsi ini adalah ; Bagaimana testimoni dan komentar dapat menjadi referensi calon konsumen dalam pembelian produk elektronik pada marketplace Shopee ? Bagaimana penjelasan kualitas dan spesifikasi produk elektronik dalam bentuk ulasan testimoni dan komentar pada marketplace Shopee ? Bagaimana tinjauan konsep khiyar ta’yin terhadap testimoni dan komentar sebagai referensi calon konsumen dalam pembelian produk elektronik pada marketplace Shopee. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan pendekatan analisis deskriptif analisis, dengan teknik pengumpulan data yaitu wawancara, dokumentasi, dan kuesioner. Analisis data yang dilakukan yaitu dengan melihat kembali hasil wawancara yang telah dikumpulkan , lalu melakukan pengolahan data melalui proses penyuntingan. Penulis menyimpulkan bahwa implementasi khiyar ta’yin dalam bentuk ulasan testimoni dan komentar dalam pembelian produk elektronik pada marketplace Shopee belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan hukum Islam. Dikarenakan konsumen tidak menggunakan testimoni dan komentar sebagai referensi utama dalam melakukan pembelian produk elektronik karena adanya keraguan terhadap isi testimoni dan komentar, informasi terkait kualitas dan spesifikasi produk yang diberikan dalam bentuk testimoni dan komentar sering bertolak belakang dengan fakta sebenarnya dari barang yang sudah dibeli konsumen sehingga hal ini merugikan konsumen secara finansial, batas waktu khiyar ta’yin yang diberikan oleh pihak Shopee adalah 12 hari terhitung dari saat produk tersebut dikirimkan.

Banyaknya sekarang selebgram di Banda Aceh yang sudah menjadi endorsement terhadap berbagai produk skincare. Pada praktiknya, masing-masing selebgram memiliki prinsipnya sendiri dalam menjalankan endorsement skincare. Disamping kepatuhan dan ketelitian mereka dalam memilih dan menerima endorse, ternyata terdapat selebgram yang mengandung unsur gharar dalam menjalankan endorsement produk skincare. Seharusnya bagi para pihak yang akan melakukan endorsement dan menjadi endorser hendaknya berlaku jujur dalam menyampaikan informasi. Pihak yang melakukan endorsement tidak boleh mengesampingkan etika guna mendapatkan penghasilan. Selebgram endorser dalam menawarkan produk harus memberikan informasi yang benar dan tidak boleh ada unsur penipuan, karena akan menjadi gharar jika hal tersebut dilakukan. Islam mengajarkan dalam bermuamalah tidak hanya berorientasi pada uang, namun juga pada keberkahan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui praktik endorsement skincare di Banda Aceh serta untuk meneliti tentang perlindungan hukum para pihak pada praktik endorsement skincare di Banda Aceh dan untuk menganalisis tinjauan Fiqh Muamalah terhadap praktik endorsment skincare di Banda Aceh kajian terhadap keberadaan unsur gharar. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik wawancara dan observasi. Hasil riset membuktikan bahwa setiap selebgram memiliki prinsipnya sendiri dalam menerima endorse produk skincare. Disamping itu masih terdapat selebgram endorse yang hanya mementingkan keuntungannya saja. Prinsip endorsement selebgram ini jelas mengandung unsur gharar yang dapat merugikan konsumen. Pada dasarnya, Islam tidak membatasi inovasi dan kreatifitas dalam bermuamalah, namun ada ketegasan dalam batasan-batasan yang tidak boleh dilakukan. Pihak yang melakukan endorsement tidak boleh mengesampingkan etika guna mendapatkan penghasilan. Hal ini dapat dicapai bila antara para pihak menunjukkan kebaikan diantara mereka.
KEABSAHAN PENGALIHAN KEPEMILIKAN TANAH MELALUI TRANSAKSI HUTANG PIUTANG MENURUT HUKUM ISLAM DAN HUKUM POSITIF

Transaksi hutang piutang tersebut secara syarak dapat dilakukan secara mutlak yang merupakan akad qarḍ ataupun dengan jaminan tertentu sesuai dengan kesepakatan yang dibuat. Dengan adanya jaminan dalam akad hutang ini memudahkan pihak pemiutang untuk menagih haknya untuk dipenuhi oleh penghutang. Dalam perjanjian  hutang piutang pihak pengutang mengikatkan jaminan dalam bentuk Akta Notaris PPAT yang berwenang membuat kontrak perjanjian hutang piutang. Pihak pengutang secara jelas mensyaratkan, bahwa apabila waktu pengembalian hutang telah habis dan peminjam tidak mampu membayar hutangnya, maka tanah yang dijaminkan tersebut akan dialihkan kepemilikannya menjadi milik pihak pemberi pinjaman. Selanjutnya kedua belah pihak menyetujui dan menuangkan perjanjian tersebut dalam akta notaris tentang pengalihan kepemilikan tanah berdasarkan hutang piutang antara kedua belah pihak. Berdasarkan latar belakang masalah di atas, maka ada beberapa permasalahan yang akan diteliti, yaitu: Bagaimana perjanjian peralihan kepemilikan atas hak milik pengutang kepada pemiutang?, dan Bagaimana legalitas peralihan hak kepemilikan tanah pengutang kepada pemiutang menurut hukum Islam dan hukum positif?. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif analisis berdasarkan data yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara dengan notaris, pengutang, dan pemiutang. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah legalitas peralihan hak kepemilikan tanah peminjam uang dalam Akta Notaris 96/W/IS/Not/2018 pada pemberi uang pinjaman menurut hukum Islam dan hukum positif batal demi hukum. Dalam hukum Islam, ada larangan hadis tentang mengalihkan kepemilikan barang jaminan hutang kepada pemberi hutang. Harusnya, jika pengutang tidak mampu melunasi hutangnya dalam batas waktu yang sudah ditentukan, barang jaminan tersebut dapat dijual untuk menutupi hutangnya. Jika ada sisanya, dikembalikan kepada pengutang, dan jika masih tidak mencukupi, maka sisa hutang tersebut masih menjadi tanggungan pihak pengutang. Dalam Hukum Positif, ada larangan memperjanjikan perpindahan kepemilkan atas hak tanggungan pengutang kepada pemiutang. Ini diatur di dalam Pasal 1178 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata dan juga Pasal 12 Undang-Undang Nomor 4 Tahun 1996 tentang Hak Tanggungan.
