Significance Statement

Because race and sex affect serum creatinine levels independently of GFR, the Food and Drug Administration’s previous creatinine-based metformin contraindication may have inadvertently caused racial and sex disparities in metformin prescription among patients with diabetes and moderate kidney dysfunction. It is unknown whether these disparities were mitigated after a 2016 labeling change to an eGFR-based contraindication. The authors found that before the labeling change, among patients with eGFR of 30–44 ml/min per 1.73 m2, Black patients and men were underprescribed metformin for diabetes compared with White patients and women, respectively. Racial and sex disparities were attenuated in patients with eGFR of 30–44 ml/min per 1.73 m2 after the label change. These results suggest that drug dosing recommendations solely on the basis of serum creatinine may cause racial and sex disparities in its use.

Background

In 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) changed labeling regarding metformin contraindications in patients with diabetes and CKD from using serum creatinine–based thresholds to using eGFR-based thresholds. Because race and sex affect serum creatinine levels independently of GFR, the earlier creatinine-based contraindication may have inadvertently caused racial and sex disparities in metformin prescription among patients with low eGFR.

Methods

In an analysis of 15,946 Black and White primary care patients with diabetes and eGFR≥30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in a large health system (the primary cohort), we assessed the association of race and sex with metformin prescription across eGFR level before and after the FDA label change. For a replication cohort, we meta-analyzed data from 36 cohorts with 1,051,723 patients from OptumLabs Data Warehouse.

Results

In the primary cohort, before the label change, Black patients with eGFR of 30–44 ml/min per 1.73 m2 were prescribed metformin less often than White counterparts (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 0.65; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.52 to 0.82); this disparity was significantly attenuated after the label change (aPR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.09; P value for interaction by period =0.04). Results were consistent in the replication cohorts. Men with eGFR of 30–44 ml/min per 1.73 m2 received metformin prescriptions less often than women counterparts before the label change; this was nonsignificantly attenuated after the label change, but we found significant attenuation in the replication cohorts (aPRpre-label change, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.79; aPRpost-label change, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.83 to 0.88; P value for interaction by period <0.001).

Conclusions

The metformin label change to an eGFR-based contraindication may have reduced racial and sex disparities in metformin prescription in moderate kidney dysfunction.

ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS AS THE BASIS FOR PERSON'S ECOLOGICAL CULTURE
Authors: Vyghovsjkyj Leonid , Vyghovsjka Tetjana
Published: July 2020

The article shows that in the conditions of global ecological crisis Homo sapiens as a species can only survive if the problem of restoring historically lost balance of relations in the general system of "human being – natural environment" is resolved as soon as possible. We argue that such a process requires, first and foremost, an appropriate reorientation of the humanity's worldview with respect to the nature and formation of environmental consciousness in members of the human community based on such principles. It is proved that in the system of ecological consciousness the worldview plays a systematic role, because it gives a person the answer to the question about the main values and priorities in human life, provides appropriate ideological justification of thoughts and actions that meet the ecological needs of people and communities. It is emphasized that, in such a situation, the preservation and restoration of the environment, which forms the need for ecological activity, becomes a sense of human life. The role of historical types of worldview (mythological, religious, scientific) in shaping the attitude of a person to nature is shown. We also show that the characteristics of the main levels of formation of the person's ecological consciousness is, at the same time, the characteristics of their ecological maturity. This is due to the fact that the typological groups reflect the degree of perception of environmental ideas and the adoption of environmental principles with subsequent implementation in environmental activities. We show that the levels of environmental consciousness can be classified as naive-realistic, everyday-empirical, and conscious-theoretical. The naive-realistic level of maturity of environmental consciousness is characteristic of people who act as natural environmentalists in their lives. The everyday-empirical level is characterized by the existence (in the rational and emotional areas) of a negative attitude to environmental problems. The conscioustheoretical level of such consciousness is characterized by informed and active attitude to environmental problems. It is emphasized that in the process of forming an ecological worldview, there is a need to move from the dominance of the environmental paradigm to the dominance of the ideological, moral and ethical paradigms.

Muharebe alanının arz ve talep dengesinde önemli bir aktör olarak rol alan ÖAŞ’ler aynı zamanda ülkelerin savunma yönetiminde de önemli bir enstrüman olarak ortaya çıkmaktadırlar. ÖAŞ’ler çok çeşitli organizasyon yapıları ve amaçları ile muharebe alanlarının kritik eksik parçalarını tamamladıkları için uluslararası arenada tartışılır ve incelenir bir konu haline gelmişlerdir. Bu makale karşılaştırmalı tarihsel perspektiften gerçekleştirilen bir analize dayanmaktadır. Çalışmada iki farklı okuyucu grubu hedef alınmıştır. İlk grup; akademik olarak savunma yönetimi, güvenlik politikaları ve uluslararası ilişkiler konularıyla ilgilenen ve ÖAŞ’ler hakkında durumsal farkındalığa ihtiyaç duyanlar olarak belirlenmiştir. İkinci grup ise; ÖAŞ’lere ilişkin karar mercilerinde bulunan, bu alanda görev almak ya da yatırım yapmak isteyenler olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu iki hedef kitleye yardımcı olmak maksadıyla, geçmişten geleceğe doğru bir projeksiyon yapılarak ÖAŞ’lerin; tarihi gelişim süreci ve tanımı, hizmet fonksiyon alanları, hukuki durumu, günümüz savaş ihtiyaçlarına göre kendi ekosisteminde kullanılma eğilimi ve teknolojik gelişmeler çerçevesinde yakın gelecekte muhtemel kullanım alanları hakkında tespit ve çıkarımlar yapılmıştır.
Preserving and Promoting Colonial Architecture
Authors: Son Le Minh , Dang Linh Ngoc Thao
Published: July 2020

Da Nang’s urban landscape reveals more than a half century of colonization and French presence on its territory. The buildings carry the imprint of the colonial experience, as they were once considered a symbol of domination, linking Da Nang to the global history of colonization. After years of independence and reconstruction, the public attitude towards French colonial heritage has changed. Despite its roots and historical origins, today, French colonial architecture is engrained into the collective understanding of Da Nang’s urban landscape and has shaped the local visual identity of the urban space. More importantly perhaps, this architectural style contributes to the city’s connection with cultural tourism, an important tool for economic development. As Da Nang is on a path of constant growth, this paper engages with issues around architectural preservation of built colonial heritage, in terms of both the values of preservation, and the challenges it presents for contemporary urban planning.

Sobreviver: o grande desafio ao longo dos séculos. A incapacidade de a terra produzir alimentos suficiente para alimentar toda população fez com que à comida fosse considerada a lei restritiva à vida do homem. Um novo modelo de agricultura, baseado na mecanização, no uso de fertilizantes e no uso dos agrotóxicos, tem ampliando a oferta de alimentos disponíveis a população. Porém, trouxe riscos, em especial, à saúde do agricultor que manuseia estes insumos químicos. O propósito deste estudo é caracterizar a relação difusionismo tecnológico, desenvolvido pelos serviços de ATER, e os riscos de intoxicação na utilização de agrotóxicos no meio rural. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo baseado em dados secundários. Os resultados evidenciaram que o modelo clássico da extensão contribuiu significativamente para modernização da agricultura nacional. No entanto, os problemas rurais não se encontram unicamente ligados a produção. Na realidade, muitos problemas se originam do despreparo dos produtores, e, sobretudo, dos que deveriam orientá-los. Somado a políticas neoliberais, esse processo limita os serviços de extensão no Brasil, potencializando os riscos à saúde do agricultor e as chances debiomagnificação. Concluiu-se que os serviços de extensão unicamente voltados à difusão tecnológica não atendem às necessidades e anseios das comunidades rurais.

Published: July 2020

A presente pesquisa faz uma análise das teorias da biopolítica, governamentalidade, das noções de cuidados de si e cuidados do outro de Foucault no contexto neoliberal. Tem como objetivo central de melhor compreender como se constitui a biopolítica e como se relaciona com a governamentalidade e como objetivo secundário discutir a correlação das noções teóricas de biopolítica e governamentalidade com o contexto brasileiro contemporâneo. A metodologia desta investigação partiu de uma análise bibliográfica, com abordagem qualitativa crítica, resultante de uma interpretação trabalhada pela hermenêutica e tendo como unidades de análise a biopolítica e a governamentalidade. Ao cabo, pode-se inferir que a constituição do neoliberalismo atravessa a forma regulamentar das políticas nacionais, favorecendo grupos econômicos em detrimento da população mais pobre e trabalhadora. Segundo a teoria de Foucault os cuidados do outro deveriam prevalecer em ocasiões como esta do Brasil.

Современные ландшафтные исследования с каждым годом становятся все более многоплановыми и разносторонними. Однако для многих регионов еще не раскрыты особенности морфологической структуры ландшафтов, которые входят в их состав. В связи с этим автором проведено исследование геосистем локального уровня одного из уникальных природных комплексов – дельты реки Волги. Основным объектом исследования являются природно-территориальные комплексы (ПТК) ранга урочище. С учетом происхождения и морфологических особенностей выделены группы култучноравнинных, русловых, бугровых урочищ и урочищ, сформировавшихся на месте морских островов. Использованы различные источники информации и методы проведения работ, в том числе полевая рекогносцировка, анализ данных дистанционного зондирования Земли, цифровое моделирование ПТК. Выделенным урочищам дано комплексное описание, а также раскрыты особенности их конфигурации, площадных показателей и пространственного размещения. Полученные результаты позволят провести дальнейшее исследование антропогенной трансформации центральной части ландшафта дельты реки Волги и наметить пути оптимизации сложившейся здесь геоэкологической обстановки.

Published: July 2020

Литоландшафтогенез играет важную роль в формировании, трансформации и дифференциации ландшафтов. Несмотря на свою ландшафтообразующую значимость, этот процесс изучен недостаточно, что предопределило необходимость рассмотрения ландшафтообразующей роли литогенной основы Центрального Черноземья. В связи с этим авторами обосновано выделение карбонатного и силикатного типов литоландшафтогенеза, показана их специфика и пространственная дифференциация. Проведено картографирование основных морфологических типов литогенных ландшафтов. Установлены их площадные соотношения. Рассмотрена структурно-генетическая организация литогенной основы, выполнена классификация ее структурных элементов. Показаны некоторые особенности формирования региональных и типологических ландшафтных комплексов при различных физико-механических и химических свойствах горных пород. Подчеркнута ведущая роль литогенной основы в формировании ландшафтного разнообразия и поддержании оптимального ландшафтно-экологического состояния, что важно учитывать при решении задач, связанных с природопользованием в Центральном Черноземье.

Published: July 2020

Purpose of the Study: This study examines the correlation between metacognitive awareness, listening self-efficacy, and listening comprehension achievement of Islamic secondary school students in Indonesia.

Methodology: To obtain the data on students’ metacognitive awareness, Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) and Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) was used. Data on students’ self-efficacy was gained using the simplified version of Rahimi and Abedini’s (2009) self-efficacy questionnaire (SEQ), The Morgan-Jinks Student Efficacy Scale (MSES), and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Meanwhile, students’ listening comprehension achievement was measured using the TOEFL Junior Test from Educational Testing Service. A total of 264 learners involved in this study.

Main Findings: The result of correlational analysis using Kendall Tau-b formula revealed that 1) there was no significant contribution of learners’ metacognitive awareness toward their listening comprehension achievement, 2) students’ listening self-efficacy has a very low correlation with their listening comprehension achievement, and 3) simultaneously, students’ metacognitive awareness and their self-efficacy showed a very low reciprocal relationship with their listening comprehension.

Applications of the study: This study is relevant to senior secondary education in the Indonesian context in which English is the first foreign language. More specifically, it is relevant to schools whose students are multilingual and come from different backgrounds both economically and geographically.

Novelty/Originality of this study: Unlike other studies in a similar context that measures the general English academic achievement, this study focuses on a specific skill, listening comprehension. In addition, it uses two variables (metacognitive awareness and self-efficacy) outright as the predictors of students’ listening comprehension achievement.

Authors: Karina T Yunice , Kusuma Hadri , Ayumardani Ariza
Published: July 2020

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the factors of why the Muslim population is not having Islamic pension funds and to explore their expectation toward Islamic pension funds to make it a promising market in the near future. Methodology: This study used a quantitative method with primary data through questionnaires distributed to 163 samples of the Muslim population in Indonesia. The Pearson correlation coefficient test is used to indicate normality and linearity. Meanwhile, the Kruskal Wallis test and two-tailed independent group t-tests are used to examine the hypotheses. Main Findings: It is found that the low level of knowledge and trust toward Islamic pension funds are the two main reasons for not having Islamic pension funds. Meanwhile, the main society’s expectation is to have the allowance from the government and simple administrative procedures by having an automatic enrolment set by the government. In addition to that, female and higher income group is found to have a better attitude and expectation toward Islamic pension fund. Applications of this study: The study provides a descriptive picture for the Islamic pension fund provider and government to set a product based on the Muslim attitude and expectation. Novelty/Originality of this study: As far as we are concerned, there is only a small number of research on analyzing the demand of Islamic Pension Fund particularly in the largest Muslim population, this work is an attempt to fill in this gap.

Authors: Makhlouf Mohammed Hassan , Oroud Yazan , Zakaria Soda Mohammed
Published: July 2020

Purpose of the study: This paper aimed to investigate the influence of risk disclosure on corporate value and investigate whether the effect of risk disclosure on corporate value is moderated by the level of independence of boards of directors.

Methodology: Using an analysis of annual reports, the study depended on a set of balanced panel data derived from 13 banks listed on the “Amman Stock Exchange” (ASE) from 2014 to 2018.

Main Findings: The empirical results indicated that the association between risk disclosure and the corporate value was significant but negative. To examine the influence of the moderating variable, hierarchical regression models were used. The results regarding the moderating effect indicate that board independence (BI) positively moderated the association between risk disclosure and corporate value.

Applications of this study: The findings of this article can provide insights into the association between risk disclosure and corporate value and the moderating influence of the board of directors' independence on this relationship.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is particularly beneficial for understanding the importance of risk disclosure between the management and stakeholders as well as understanding the importance of the board of director composition in enhancing the influence of risk disclosure on corporate value. Moreover, this is the first study to investigate the moderating effect of board composition (represented by board independence) on the association between risk disclosure and corporate value.

Published: July 2020

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the impact of a psychoeducational module known as the ‘SELF-IE’ module in helping low-performing civil servants. It is measured through the self-change variables of emotional stability, psycho-spirituality, and behavioral adjustment among respondents, who attended 2017 Self-Change and Well-Being Programme that used the ‘SELF-IE’ module as the intervention. Methodology: This is a quasi-experimental study, in which the impact of the ‘SELF-IE’ module was determined by measuring the mean differences of the variables for both experimental and control groups. Data were collected from a total of 68 respondents using the Personal Well-Being Questionnaire (PWQ) consisting of 60 items divided into five different sections. Main Findings: There is a significant mean difference in all three measured variables (emotional stability, psycho-spirituality, and behavioral adjustment) between both experimental and control groups, which means that the intervention using the ‘SELF-IE’ module has a positive impact in self-change of the respondents in those variables. Applications of this study: The result of this study can provide useful information to help improve any self-development program for employees’ particularly in public organizational settings. The information should be beneficial for organizational counselors or industrial psychologists, and human resources or training managers. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study specifically enhances the human assessment performance in the Public Service Department (PSD), whereby the development of the ‘SELF-IE’ module has improved the current module used in public organizations’ employee assistance program (EAP).

The study shows that Said Nursi's thought concerning prophecy stems from his criticisms of the materialistic-mechanistic paradigm  of Western civilization. This view basically rejects the transcendental perspective and spiritual values in understanding nature. The notion of materialism from the West attacks the key concepts of Islamic teachings. Realizing this, Nursi was called upon to give a very serious intellectual response. It was at this point that Nursi offered his ideas on prophethood. In Risālah an-Nūr, Said Nursi strives to revive prophetic values by applying theological approaches to be easily understood by society. Nursi’s thought is built on an effort to revive prophetic values so that it could shed light on Turkish people who had suffered serious illnesses due to the influences of the Western paradigm of mechanical materialism.y. This prophetic knowledge would eventually end in faith, which leads to eternal happiness for believers and eternal misery for unbelievers.Artikel ini bertujuan untuk lebih menjelaskan pemikiran Badiuzzaman Said Nursi tentang kenabian. Studi literatur ini menggunakan pendekatan historis dalam mengekstraksi data dan melakukan analisis konten. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa pemikiran Said Nursi tentang nubuat berasal dari paradigma materialisme-mekanistik yang lahir dari peradaban Barat. Pandangan ini pada dasarnya menolak perspektif transendental dan nilai-nilai spiritual dalam memahami alam. Gagasan materialisme dari Barat menyerang konsep-konsep kunci ajaran Islam. Menyadari hal ini, Nursi dipanggil untuk memberikan respons intelektual yang sangat serius. Pada titik inilah Nursi menawarkan gagasannya tentang kenabian. Dalam Risālah an-Nūr, Said Nursi berusaha untuk menghidupkan kembali nilai-nilai kenabian dengan menerapkan pendekatan teologis agar mudah dipahami oleh publik. Pemikiran Bediuzzaman dibangun dalam upaya untuk menghidupkan kembali nilai-nilai kenabian sehingga dapat memberikan cahaya kepada orang-orang Turki yang sudah menderita penyakit serius karena pengaruh Barat dengan paradigma materialisme mekanis yang tidak memiliki dimensi spiritualitas. Pengetahuan kenabian ini pada akhirnya akan berakhir dalam iman, yang oleh Bediuzzaman disebut kebahagiaan esensial (manusia memiliki iman) bagi manusia, dan yang menolak (kufur) keberadaan peran Tuhan dan Nabi, yang merupakan kesengsaraan sejati.

Published: July 2020

This study examines the use of liberal principles in Husein Muhammad's works on Quramic interpretation which are found when uses new concepts of the Sciences of the Qur’an.  This new concept is used as an ontological view when he interprets Qur'anic verses regarding human rights and gender relations. The liberal principles that Husein Muhammad uses have clear parameters and do not neglect the basic rules of interpretation itself. Through a qualitative approach with descriptive method, research on literature and interviews, this study confirms that the liberal principles used by Husein Muhammad, in addition to using gender justice analysis, are also produced among others through a re-understanding of the rules of interpretation such as asbuz nuzul, nāsikh mansūkh, ta`wīl, muhkam-mutasyābih, makkiyah madāniyyah. The redefinition of the rules of interpretation is then used as the basis when he makes the interpretation of the Qur'an so that the results of the interpretation are different when compared to interpretations that have been developed among Muslims. As a result, his interpretation is not only laden with religious messages, but also becomes part of the expression of feminist kiyai identity in the development of interpretations in Indonesia.

Aproximación a los nuevos conceptos sobre violencia y acoso en el trabajo a partir de la aprobación del Convenio OIT 190
Authors: Pons Carmena María
Published: July 2020

El Convenio OIT 190 sobre la eliminación de la violencia y el acoso en el mundo del trabajo adoptado en 2019 establece un nuevo concepto sobre violencia y acoso de carácter amplio y general. Por ello se requiere revisar los múltiples conceptos existentes en nuestra legislación, así como las actuales interpretaciones judiciales y doctrinales de los mismos, con especial hincapié en lo que se denomina acoso moral que no está definido legalmente. La nueva norma internacional va a requerir replantearse la concepción de la violencia y el acoso por razón de género como subcategoría de la violencia y acoso por motivos discriminatorios y, también, la adecuación de los conceptos de trabajador y del lugar de trabajo como ámbitos de aplicación de la normativa con respecto a la prevención, protección y tutela que ofrece la misma frente a la violencia y el acoso en el ámbito laboral.
HUKUM ISLAM DI INDONESIA PADA MASA PENJAJAHAN BELANDA: KEBIJAKAN PEMERINTAHAN KOLONIAL, TEORI RECEPTIE IN COMPLEXU, TEORI RECEPTIE DAN TEORI TECEPTIO A CONTRARIO ATAU TEORI RECEPTIO EXIT
Authors: Zaelani Zaelani
Published: July 2020

Setidaknya ada tiga corak hukum yang dapat kita jumpai dalam bagian hukum Indonesia di antaranya; hukum Islam, hukum adat dan hukum kolonial. Di jelaskan juga dalam teori lain sesuai dengan persfektif historis yakni; pertama, teori receptie in complexu “hukum Islam diterima secara penuh dan dijadikan acuan bagi persoalan yang dialami masyarakat. Kedua, teori receptie, teori ini diintroduser oleh Cornelis Van Vollenhoven “hukum yang berlaku bagi orang Islam adalah hukum adat mereka masing-masing dimana hukum Islam dapat berlaku apabila masyarakatnya menerima hukum Islam tersebut”. Ketiga, teori teceptie a contrario, teori ini diintrodusir oleh Sajuti Thalib, menyebutkan sejak tahun 1945 hingga 1975 masih ada dua kubu berpendapat beda. Satu pihak mengatakan bahwa pasal 134 ayat (2) IS (Indische Staatregeling) tidak berlaku lagi, tetapi dipihak lain demi kepastian hukum, pasal tersebut terus diberakukan. Adapun bunyi pasal tersebut “dalam hal terjadi perkara perdata antara sesama orang Islam akan diselesaikan oleh hakim agama Islam apabila keadaan tersebut telah diterima oleh hukum adat mereka dan sejauh tidak ditentukan lain oleh ordonasi”. Pada konferensi departemen kehakiman di salatiga, 1950, Hazairin menyatkan hukum Islam yang berlaku di Indonesia tidak berdasarkan pada hukum adat, dikarenakan setiap hukum yang ada di Indonesia baik hukum Islam maupun hukum adat berlaku berdasarkan sokongan perundang-undangn yang ada di Indonesia.
