Estimation and Testing of the Fiscal Reaction Function in Selected Arab Countries using the Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) Approach
Authors: Menshad Helmy Ibraheem
Published: August 2022

The main aim of this paper is to assess the fiscal sustainability in Iraq, Egypt, and Jordan by estimating the fiscal reaction function. To show the extent to which fiscal policy interacts in these countries by taking corrective measures in adjusting the primary balance of the public budget towards developments in the public debt, government spending gap and the output gap. Using the Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) Approach, the empirical results indicated the response of the fiscal policy in Iraq to the developments that occurred in the levels of public debt, and thus provide evidence of the existence of the fiscal sustainability, but the fiscal policy in Iraq did not take the necessary and countermeasures of the economic cycle. As for Egypt, the results indicated that there is a weak response by the fiscal policy in the face of debt challenges, or that is on the path of fiscal sustainability, but slowly. In Jordan, I concluded that the long-term equilibrium relationship between the primary balance of the public budget and the levels of the public debt has not been achieved, and thus there is no evidence of the Jordanian economy’s progress towards fiscal sustainability.
The effect of real earnings management on the firm value :An applied study on a sample of industrial companies listed in the Iraqi Stock Exchange for the period (2011-2018)
Authors: Abdulkarem Nawar Qays , Jassim Mothana Rokan
Published: August 2022

The research aims to show the extent of the impact of managing real profits on the company's value in the Iraqi environment for the period from (2011-2018). On a sample of (12) Iraqi industrial companies. The real profit management was measured by the (Roy Chowdhury, 2006) model, while the company's value was measured by the Tobin's Q formula. Where investors build their investment decisions based on the net profit, and from this standpoint, company managers resort to manipulating profits in order to mislead investors and then influence their investment decisions. The study reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is the existence of a positive and significant effect of managing real profits on the company's value. As for the recommendations, the most important of them are that company managers, before they get involved in managing for profits, should think about its results, especially the real ones. Although it has a positive impact on the value of the company in the short term. However, it has a very negative impact on the value of the company in the future. Thus, corporate directors and external auditors were exposed to the judiciary and the matter.
The Effectiveness of Fiscal Policy Tools in Addressing the Glitches in Public Budget Deficit of Selected Developing Countries for the Period (2002-2019)
Authors: Hussein Ahmed Ibrahim , Abdullah Hashim Mohammed
Published: August 2022

The research aims to measure the effectiveness of fiscal policy tools in regarding the glitches in public budget deficit of selected developing countries during the period (2002-2019), and through the use of modern economic measurement tools within the software (Stata 14.2 & EViews 12). Using the data collection method (Panel Data), CD-Test for cross-sections as an initial step to determine the tests that will be used to find out whether the variables are still variables. And whether they fall within the first or second generation tests. After making sure that there is no dependence between the cross sections, the Livn, Lin and Chu (LLC) test was used, as its results showed that some variables have a unit root, that is, some variables are static in the level and others are static in the first difference. Therefore this will lead us to include these variables in the model, and we will have a dynamic model. In this case, we will deal with time-delay models, and the best example of this is the Autoregressive Distributed Time Gap model for the Dynamic Panel ARDL data with its three estimators. Which are the mean group estimator (MGE), the combined mean estimator (PMGE) and the dynamic static effects estimator (DFEE), Husman test was used to compare the three estimators; The test showed that the combined group mean estimator (PMGE) is the best.

Proposed Model of Internet of Things Adoption for Higher Education Institution
Authors: Azeez Noor Dheyaa
Published: August 2022

In the light of the information technology revolution, the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) is an important development that can enhance the efficiency of daily activities, such as increasing communication efficiency for users around the world. Within this context, few users realize the benefits of using IoT services. In general, most of the previous studies focused on technical aspects of the Internet of Things, such as architectural dimensions and wireless sensor networks, and the studies did not focus on examining the perceptions of IoT users. The aim of this study is to determine the factors that affect users' adoption of IoT services in an educational institution in Iraq. Random samples were used to collect data from 302 (faculty) at Northern Technical University. The UTAUT model was used with the addition of two factors (privacy, trust), as current research confirmed the importance of these two factors in the users' decision to adopt new technologies. The current study found that social influence is the most important factor regarding behavioral intention (BI) to use IoT services followed by expected effort, privacy and performance expectations. Facilitating conditions have an impact on the behavior of using IoT services. Finally, the study recommends decision makers in higher education institutions to use Internet of Things services and work to increase users' awareness of its benefits.

Continuous, Non-Destructive Detection of Microorganism Growth at Buried Interfaces with Vascularized Polymers
Authors: Dixon Brandon , Sui Chenxi , Briley Anna , Hsu Po-Chun , Howell Caitlin
Published: August 2022

Evaluating surface bacterial growth at buried interfaces can be problematic due to the difficulties associated with obtaining samples. In this work, we present a new method to detect signals from microorganisms at buried interfaces that is non-destructive and can be conducted continuously. Inspired by vascular systems in nature that permit chemical communication between the surface and underlying tissues of an organism, we created a system in which an inert carrier fluid could be introduced into an empty vascular network embedded in a polymer matrix. When a microorganism layer was grown on top, small molecules produced by the growth process would diffuse down into the carrier fluid, which could then be collected and analyzed. We used this system to non-destructively detect signals from a surface layer of Escherichia coli using conductivity, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for organic acids; methods that ranged in sensitivity, time-to-result, and cost. Carrier fluid from sample vascularized polymers with surface bacterial growth recorded significantly higher values in both conductivity and absorbance at 350 nm compared to controls with no bacteria after 24 h. HPLC analysis showed three clear peaks that varied between the samples with bacteria and the controls without. Test tracking the change in signals over 48 h showed clear trends that matched the growth curve and demonstrated the system’s ability to monitor changes over time. A theoretical model of the system closely matched the experimental results, confirming the predictability of the system. Finally, tests using clinically relevant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa yielded differences in conductivity, absorbance, and HPLC peak areas unique to each species. This work lays the foundation for the use of vascularized polymers as an adaptive system for the continuous, non-destructive detection of surface microorganisms at buried interfaces in both industry and medicine.

La pandemia provocada por la presencia del COVID 19, sin duda marcó un antes y un después en los procesos de formación profesional, de igual forma, el confinamiento social, el cambio de paradigma y de nuevas formas de abordar la enseñanza aprendizaje, repercutieron en aspectos no sólo académicos, también en aspectos sociales y psicológicos tanto en el personal docente como de estudiantes, en estos últimos, en varios casos, se vieron afectados. En el avance de investigación se pudo constatar que los niveles de ansiedad de estudiantes de las carreras de ingeniería: Computación, Logística y Trasporte; Agropecuaria; y, Alimentos de la Universidad Politécnica Estatal del Carchi (Tulcán – Ecuador), evidencio un incremento, determinado mediantela aplicación del Test de Ansiedad “AMAS-C”, a una muestra representativa de los diferentes niveles de formación, cuyo análisis de fiabilidad por consistencia interna a partir del coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach, y de correlación de Pearson, permitieron identificar resultados como insumos para plantear alternativas de solución para disminuir de alguna manera los aspectos que relacionados al aprendizaje tuvieron mayor preocupación, como son la preparación para exámenes; la ansiedad fisiológica y la ansiedad total. Una de las estrategias didácticas adoptadas por la Universidad fue el diseño y aplicación de la Guía didáctica, característica de la educación a distancia, combinada con estrategias de la educación virtual, aprendizaje sincrónico y asincrónico. La guía didáctica se constituyó en un apoyo para el aprendizaje, así como una alternativa de evaluación de aprendizajes, sustituyendo los exámenes y reemplazado por actividades de aprendizaje iniciales, de proceso y finales, que podían ser entregadas al final del período académico. Estas adaptaciones permitieron el acceso, la permanencia y la guía que de alguna manera contribuyeron a mitigar el nivel de ansiedad de los estudiantes que poco a poco se fueron adaptando a esta nueva forma de aprender y de interactuar, aspectos que deberán continuar en investigación, para ir implementando nuevas estrategias didácticas que permitan la formación profesional de calidad.

Published: August 2022

У статті розглянуто психологічний супровід фахівців ринку праці як один із методів надання психологічної допомоги, що передбачає особистісно-орієнтоване спілкування спеціаліста, під час якого встановлюється і підтримується партнерський стиль спілкування, здійснюється спрямування особистісних ресурсів на мотивацію до пошуку можливих шляхів вирішення запитів. Визначено, що ситуація на ринку праці переживається людиною як максимально критична, яка часто призводить до серйозних негативних наслідків як в її психофізіології, так і в організації соціального життя. Проаналізовано рівні психологічної підтримки психоемоційного стану фахівця ринку праці: когнітивний (підвищення самооцінки, впевненості в собі, корекція уявлень про себе); мотиваційний (підвищення активності і мотивації у пошуку роботи, самопізнанні і саморозвитку, актуалізації потреби в роботі); емоційний (корекція емоційно-психологічного стану, розвиток умінь саморегуляції); поведінковий (формування навичок ефективних форм поведінки на ринку праці відповідно до індивідуально-психологічних особливостей та здатностей людини). Розглянуто теоретичну модель психологічного супроводу фахівця ринку праці: діагностика соціально-психологічних проблем; психологічне консультування; психокорекційна та психотерапевтична робота; психологічна реабілітація; професійно-психологічна підготовка до працевлаштування. Запропоновані техніки психологічної допомоги фахівцям ринку праці, розглянуто методичні прийоми із відновлення психоемоційних ресурсів та знань із психологічної самодопомоги. Закцентовано увагу на значущості принципів і прийомів фасилітаційної взаємодії у професійній діяльності особистості.

Published: August 2022

У статті проаналізовано теоретичні дані у вигляді актуальних проблем, досліджень та розробленості поняття дозвілля у контексті війни. Зокрема визначено, що людина під час військових дій переживає широкий спектр негативних психологічних станів, подолання яких залежить від підбору правильних копінг-стратегії та способів психологічної самодопомоги. В якості провідного фактору у подоланні негативних психологічних станів українців в умовах війни було визначено рекреаційну діяльність, а саме такі найпопулярніші її види: спостереження за природою, перегляд мемів та читання новин. Проведено дослідження особливостей впливу спостереження за природою, перегляду мемів та читання новин на молодь обох статей, що знаходиться в межах України та виїхала за кордон. У дослідженні взяло участь 15 осіб від 12 до 22 років, 8 з яких перебувають в Україні, 7 – у країнах Європи. У якості методу вимірювання емоційного стану була обрана Шкала диференційних емоцій К. Ізарда. Стимульний матеріал представлений у вигляді добірки новин на тему війни в Україні, мемів, картин і відео із зображеннями природи. Виконано порівняння середніх значень показників напруженості емоційних переживань до та після трьох незалежних впливів різного стимульного матеріалу (новин про війну, мемів і картин природи) за допомогою Т-критерію Вілкоксона. Проведено аналіз незалежних вибірок за ознакою статі і місцезнаходження за використання U-критерію Манна-Уітні. Було виявлено, що: читання новин на тему війни в Україні сприяє зниженню напруженості переживання сорому у молодих людей; перегляд мемного контенту пов’язаний зі зменшенням переживання горя; споглядання картин природи детермінує збільшення вираженості здивування. За результатами статистичного аналізу різниці в характері емоційної відповіді на різні форми дозвілля серед осіб різної статі та місцезнаходження не виявлено. Таким чином, можемо стверджувати, що кожна із форм рекреаційної діяльності здійснює незначний вплив на емоційну сферу людини, що виявляється у зниженні чи підвищенні рівня вираженості окремих емоційних переживань.
Differential diagnosis of hypertrophic pachymeningitis: literature review
Authors: Makarevičius G. , Grigaitė J. , Jokubaitis M. , Klimašauskienė A.
Published: August 2022

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a focal or diffuse thickening of cranial and/or spinal dura mater caused by chronic inflammatory process, which induces fibrosis and thickening of the pachymeninges. Fibrotic, thickened dura causes compression of adjacent structures that results in HP symptoms. Usually HP presents with headache, diplopia, visual loss, and otologic symptoms. As the disease progresses, intracranial hypertension, consciousness disturbance, and seizures may also develop. There are two distinct groups of HP – idiopathic and secondary HP. There are 3 major groups of secondary HP: infectious, autoimmune, and oncological. There are no highly specific clinical and radiological features to distinguish secondary HP from idiopathic HP. For this reason, a thorough examination and dural biopsy are of great importance in the diagnosis of idiopathic HP. Idiopathic HP can be only diagnosed when secondary causes of HP are ruled out and dural biopsy confirms that there are only unspecific findings: lymphocytic-plasmacytic infiltration and fibrosis. In this article, we review the literature regarding HP and discuss clinical and radiological features of both, idiopathic and secondary HP, and their differential diagnosis.

Las variables geográficas determinan en gran medida la estructura y diversidad de especies. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer si existen diferencias entre los componentes que conforman la estructura, diversidad y composición florística con relación a la exposición y altitud en bosques templados del estado de Durango. Los datos dasométricos se obtuvieron de 30 sitios permanentes (2 500 m2), se consideraron: diámetro normal (Dn)>7.5 cm (1.30 m), altura total, y el registro por especie. Se definieron seis áreas distribuidas en tres intervalos altitudinales (500 m) con exposición sur y norte. Se caracterizó la estructura por medio del Índice de Valor de Importancia (IVI), diversidad alfa (α), riqueza de especies (S) y el Índice de Diversidad Verdadera de Shannon (1D), así como la diversidad beta (β) por medio del análisis de similitud de Bray-Curtis. Se realizó una prueba estadística de ANOVA de dos factores para determinar diferencias significativas entre intervalos de altitud en las áreas; las de mayor altitud tuvieron más densidad y área basal en ambas exposiciones, con excepción del área 5 (1 500 a 1 800 m sur) que mostró valores similares en área basal. Los géneros Pinus y Quercus presentaron un IVI superior en todas las áreas. Los sitios en exposición sur registraron una mayor riqueza de especies, sobre todo los que se ubicaron en el intervalo de menor altitud. La similitud entre áreas comprendió las zonas con más altitud y exposición norte, y se aislaron las tierras bajas con intervalos altitudinales diferentes.

En las comunidades de la Montaña de Guerrero, la leña es uno de los bienes más importantes que proporciona el bosque; no obstante, cada una de ellas tiene sus particularidades de empleo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar su uso y consumo en una comunidad Me’phaa ubicada en dicha región. Se aplicó una encuesta en 39 hogares. Para calcular la cantidad leña usada se utilizaron métodos directos e indirectos. Los resultados indican que 100 % de los encuestados utilizan dicho recurso como combustible principal y su abastecimiento se da a través de la recolecta en terrenos propios, ubicados a una distancia media de 2 km de la vivienda al sitio de extracción. La tasa de consumo promedio obtenida con el método indirecto es de 2.11 kg persona-1 día-1, y 2.01 kg persona-1 día-1 de manera directa. El gasto de leña es mayor en el mes agosto (2.34 kg persona-1 día-1) y, en general, en los meses con más precipitación y bajas temperaturas. Las especies utilizadas incluyen al elite (Alnus acuminata), encinos (Quercus spp.), pino ocote (Pinus sp.) y el café (Coffea arabica); la preferida es Q. magnoliifolia, ya que forma brasa y no produce mucho humo. El aprovechamiento de la leña está sujeto al reglamento ejidal y al interno de la comunidad. Los resultados indican la necesidad de establecer estrategias para atender la posible pérdida de la cobertura vegetal en La Ciénega, a causa de la extracción de la leña.

Comparative Analysis of the Quality of Life Scales Parameters in Patients with Combination of Stable Ischemic Heart Disease and Metabolic Syndrome
Authors: Babinets Liliia , Melnyk Nataliia
Published: August 2022

Modern epidemiological studies confirm that comorbid diseases and conditions can have significant impact on diagnostic and treatment of the underlying disease. The problem of the comorbidy of stable coronary heart disease (SCHD) and metabolic syndrome (MS) has high medical and social significance, need high costs for diagnosis and treatment, and leads to decreased of quality of life (QOL). QOL is an important indicator of the health status of patients, which comprehensively characterizes human physical, psychological, emotional and social functioning.
The objective: to conduct a comparative analysis of the QOL of patients with combination of SCAD and MS versus patients with isolated SCHD.
Materials and methods. The study included 102 patients: 52 people with MS in combination with SCAD and 50 patients with SCHD only. There were 42 (51.2%) men (mean age 49.8 ± 5.3 years), and 40 (48.8%) women (mean age 51.6 ± 6.7 years). The QoL score was assessed by general medical questionnaire – the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item (SF-36), in which all scales form two indicators: mental and physical health and a specialized questionnaire for patient with stable angina pectoris – SAQ (Seattle Angina Questionnaire). The diagnosis of SCHD with functional class (FC) assessment was performed by European Society of Cardiology criteria. MS was established if three out of five diagnostic criteria were met.
Results. Patients with comorbid MS and SCHD demonstrated significantly lower QoL scores, both in psychological and physical components of health (according to the SF-36 questionnaire) compared to patients with SCHD alone (p <0.05). An analysis of the SAQ questionnaire data also showed significantly lower points in group of patients with NAS and SCHD combination compared to the group of patients with isolated SCHD (in total, by 8.76%; p <0.05).
Conclusion. Patients with metabolic syndrome in combination with stable coronary heart disease (SCHD) had a statistically significantly lower level of quality of life according to the evaluation by both SF-36 nonspecific questionnaire and the SAQ specific questionnaire comparing to group of patients with isolated SCAD.
Evaluation of the hemostasis system in pregnant women with placental dysfunction by the method of rotational thromboelastometry
Authors: Us I.V. , Zhuk S.I. , Demyanyuk S.V.
Published: August 2022

The objective: to evaluate the standard indicators of thromboelastometry in pregnant women with placental dysfunction. Materials and methods. Venous blood samples of 26 healthy pregnant women (control group) and 50 patients with placental dysfunction (main group, persons 19–40 years old) were examined. The average gestation period at the time of the study was 29.5±7.2 and 32.9±4.4 weeks, respectively. Standard coagulation tests (coagulogram) and rotational thromboelastometry were performed. Results. Hypercoagulability according to the standard coagulation tests in the women with placental disorders did not correspond to gestational age. No correlation was established between coagulogram parameters, the number of platelets and temogram parameters. According to thromboelastography tests, an increase in clot density is typical for pregnant women with placental dysfunction. Specifically, the results of the fibtem test demonstrated, a statistically significant (p<0.05) increase in clot density at 5, 10, and 20 minutes. Such indicators of fibrinogen synthesis and the fibrin polymerization process indicate the formation of a denser clot in the patients with placental dysfunction. In addition, the MCF indicator, which informs about the maximum density of the clot, is significantly higher in the pregnant women with placental dysfunction compared to the control group. Conclusions. Disorders of coagulation homeostasis in the form of clot formation of increased density play an important role in the pathogenesis of placental dysfunction. This is one of the causes of hemodynamic disorders in the utero-placental and feto-placental blood flow. Thromboelastography, in contrast to the basic coagulation tests of the standard coagulogram, is a more informative method of assessment the coagulation ability of blood in the pregnant women with placental dysfunction.

Authors: Konkov D.G. , Bevz G.V. , Piskun A.О. , Bodnarchuk O.V.
Published: August 2022

Preeclampsia (PE) is a main cause of morbidity and mortality for both mother and fetus. The frequency of PE is from 2 % to 8 %. The complications which are related to PE lead to more than 50,000 maternal deaths and more than 500,000 fetal deaths worldwide each year. In Ukraine, PE was diagnosed in 11,075 women in 2020 (39.32 per 1,000 births), of which severe PE was diagnosed in 1,573 women (5.58 per 1,000 births).The advances in obstetrics and neonatology have significantly mitigated many adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with PE. The optimal prevention of PE is essential to prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with this pathology. The number of researches about new management for the prevention or treatment of PE and new drugs that can affect the pathophysiology of the disease increases. The main value of potential candidates for the prevention of PE is the preclinical impact on oxidative stress, antiangiogenic factors, as well as thrombogenic potential and proinflammatory pathways of pathology development. A systematic data search was carried out in MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar and Proquest databases for 2014–2022. In this review, the results of preclinical and clinical studies about the rational prevention of the development of PE in pregnant women at risk with the involvement of the most promising drugs were analyzed. Preclinical studies have suggested new molecular targeting strategies, such as monoclonal antibodies directed against tumor necrosis factor alpha, placental growth factor, and short interfering ribonucleic acid technology to inhibit soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 or angiotensinogen gene expression. Other treatment approaches that have progressed to phase III trials (either completed or ongoing) include proton pump inhibitors, metformin, nitric oxide donors and precursors, recombinant antithrombin III, digoxin immune antigen, and melatonin. There are cases suggesting that deletion of circulating soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 can help to stabilize PE and prolong pregnancy.

Intensive healing process both in terms of religious or medical establishments that will really help healing drugs. For the Religious Court judge Grade 1 A Watampone should take careful and meticulous in deciding things that there are elements of drugs, both from examination to the use of the legal basis in deciding things that contain elements of drugs.
FATWA-FATWA TRANSAKSI DIGITAL: STUDI KOMPARATIF FATWA NU DAN MUHAMMADIYAH

Tulisan ini mengangkat persoalan tentang bagaimana pandangan kalangan ulama dari Nahdatul Ulama dan Muhammadiyah serta dari MUI tentang transaksi digital. Perkembangan teknologi telah memberi banyak perubahan bagi kehidupan manusia termasuk dalam bidang perekonomian. Hal ini ditandai dengan berkembangnya banyak transaksi digital yang semakin memudahkan manusia dalam urusan bayar-bayar. Dalam pandangan agama (Islam) yang juga mengatur segala aspek kehidupan manusia juga memberi banyak catatan, kritikan terhadap fenomena ini dikarenakan tak kurang juga punya sisi negatif yang cenderung merugikan manusia. Penelitian  ini  menggunakan  metodologi deskriptif analitis  tinjauan pustaka, yaitu  dengan  cara  mengumpulkan  data  kemudian  memaparkan apa adanya dan disusun serta dituangkan dalam bentuk narasi dan dianalisis. Tujuan penelitian ini membandingkan fatwa-fatwa ulama dari kalangan Nahdatul Ulama dan Muhammadiyah serta ulama yang terhimpun dalam MUI tentang transaksi digital yang difokuskan pada transaksi bitcoin. Hasil penelitian ini menyajikan kesimpulan yang beragam. Dalam pandangan MUI menyebutkan bahwa Bitcoin sebagai aset untuk investasi cenderung termasuk garar yang dapat merugikan orang lain. Nilai Bitcoin yang jauh melampaui mata uang konvensional, membuat masyarakat tertarik untuk berinvestasi. Tidak ada aset pendukung, harga tidak terkontrol, serta tidak ada jaminan secara resmi. Berbada halnya dengan NU yang mengklasifikasikan bitcoin sebagai “aset virtual” dan oleh karena itu dapat digunakan sebagai alat Dagang dapat digunakan sebagai investasi. Oleh karena itu, zakat wajib bersamanya berlaku. Namun karena Bitcoin saat ini tidak diatur oleh pemerintah, maka statusnya sebagai alat perdagangan tergolong beresiko tinggi dalam hal keamanan. Selain itu, Muhammadiyah menjelaskan bahwa Hukum mata uang kripto seperti Bitcoin tergantung pada penggunaannya apakah digunakan untuk kebaikan atau kejahatan. Kripto itu bebas nilai. Kalau digunakan untuk melahirkan produk yang buruk, maka produknya haram. Kalau digunakan untuk menghasilkan yang baik maka produknya bisa tetap halal. Akan tetapi, lebih baik menghindari penggunaan mata uang kripto karena belum diakui oleh negara sebagai alat tukar, ataupun benda niaga.

Zakat merupakan sarana komunikasi utama antara manusia dengan sesama dalambermasyarat demi terciptanya kehidupan yang harmonis dan manusiawi. penyaluran harta zakat harus di kelola dengan baik dengan tujuan bahwa pembagian zakatberjalan secara efektif dan tepat sasaran kepada para mustahiksesuai dengan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan syariah. Zakat sangat potensi di Indonesia untukmenyelesaikan permasalahan masyarakat. Namun dalam implementasinya dihadapkan kepada sejumlah permasalahan terkait pemahaman tentang pengelolaan zakat itu sendiri. Problematikan masyarakat dibagi terhadap 3 (tiga) stakeholderyaitu,Pemerintah serta Organisasi Pengelola Zakat, muzaki (pemberi zakat) dan mustahik (penerima zakat).
THE ROLE OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF ISCHEMIC STROKE
Authors: Savantic
Published: August 2022

The role of early diagnosis of ischemic stroke is extremely important. The most common neuroimaging techniques are computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the role of CT in the early diagnosis of ischemic stroke is very limited. Changes visible on CT are formed after 24 hours after the onset of neurological symptoms, while on MRI using standard and special techniques – in the first hours and even minutes. According to modern concepts, which are subject to numerous experimental data, the ischemic region has a heterogeneous structure. In the central parts (core or core), the level of cerebral blood flow has the lowest perfusion rates, which leads to rapid (within a few minutes) death of neurons. The peripheral parts (the "ischemic penumbra" or penumbra) of the brain's ischemic lesion zone are characterized by higher levels of brain perfusion, and irreversible changes in cells in this zone can develop over a longer (hours) time. With ongoing ischemia, this zone also undergoes typical irreversible structural changes characteristic of the heart of the infarct zone. On the other hand, this area of the brain can be saved by restoring adequate blood flow during treatment. It is the "zone of ischemic penumbra" that is the main target of brain ischemia research using modern neuro -radiological diagnostic methods and early (first hours and days) therapy. The analysis of literature data on the possibilities of improving the effectiveness of the diagnosis of ischemic stroke using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is carried out. It is shown that systemic thrombolytic therapy (TLT) is currently considered as the most effective therapeutic method of treatment for ischemic stroke (which allows restoring blood flow and preserving the viability of reversibly damaged nervous tissue). At the same time, the most important condition for performing TLT is the availability of neuro -visualization methods that allow us to assess the pathogenetic subtype of brain infarction, to establish the pathology of the vessel that led to stroke. Modern MRI protocols allow us to identify the volume and nature of the stroke focus, and also show the possibilities of achieving the effect of TLT. Analysis of the literature data shows that MRI can be widely used in the examination of patients with suspected ischemic stroke from the very first hours after the onset of the disease, which in turn makes it possible to increase the efficiency and quality of medical care for this category of patients.

The importance of ischemic stroke early diagnosis cannot be overstated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are the two most widely used neuroimaging methods (MRI). However, CT plays a relatively small part in the early etection of ischemic stroke. While on MRI using regular and special techniques - in the first hours or even minutes after the onset of neurological symptoms, changes visible on CT form 24 hours after the beginning of neurological symptoms. Modern theories, which are upported by a wealth of experimental data, suggest that the ischemia zone has a heterogeneous structure. The degree of cerebral blood flow has the lowest perfusion rates in the central regions (core or core), which causes neurons to die quickly (within a few minutes). The peripheral parts (the "ischemic penumbra" or penumbra) of the brain's ischemic lesion zone are characterized by higher levels of brain perfusion, and irreversible changes in cells in this zone can develop over a longer (hours) time. With ongoing ischemia, this zone also undergoes typical irreversible structural changes characteristic of the heart of the infarct zone.

Asymmetries in Urban, Suburban, and Rural Place-Based Resentment
Authors: Borwein Sophie , Lucas Jack
Published: August 2022

This paper investigates the size, socio-demographic correlates, and political implications of place-based resentment in urban, suburban, and rural areas, with a particular focus on similarities and differences in high-resentment individuals across place types. We focus on three research questions. First, we ask how place resentment varies across all possible combinations of urban, suburban, and rural in-groups and out-groups. Second, we explore if high-resentment individuals in urban, suburban, and rural areas share similar socio-demographic and political characteristics. Finally, we investigate how citizens' satisfaction with their elected representatives, and positions on contentious and important policy issues, are related to place-based resentment. We investigate these questions using two large-scale surveys of the Canadian public. We find that place-based resentment is highly asymmetric: resentment is strongest among rural residents regardless of the target (suburban or urban) of their resentment, whereas urban and suburban residents tend to resent each other more than either group resents rural areas. We also find substantial asymmetries in the correlates and political implications of place resentment. Our findings suggest that place resentment is an important and politically consequential phenomenon across all place types, but also that the character and strength of this resentment is quite different in rural, suburban, and urban places.

Published: August 2022

Online learning has grown in its prevalence. This format often includes the use of digital reading materials. However, when reading on the computer, alerts and other distractors are a regular occurrence. Research shows that when distracted, students’ performance suffers. We tested the impact of distractors on a computer screen while students were reading a digital text. Results from an experiment with N=69 undergraduates showed that reading recall was negatively impacted for students who were distracted when compared to a control group. The differences were similar for positive and negative stimuli presented as distractors. These findings highlight the need for students to be taught how to remove potential distractors when learning online.
