Authors: Kuswandanu Taqiyuddin , A Weni , Ema
Published: May 2024

This research aims to determine the motives, meanings and communication experiences of male gym activists regarding posts related to gum. This research uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. Data was obtained through an in-depth interview process as well as field and online observations. The theory used is Alfred Schutz's phenomenological theory and Participatory Media Culture theory. The outcomes of the research indicate that the "cause" motive stems from feelings of insecurity or lack of confidence regarding one's physique, while the "goal" motive is characterized by a desire to garner attention, praise, and feedback from one's followers, as well as to capture a moment in time. Regarding gym-related posts, the participants viewed them as a means of conveying messages, expressing themselves, eliciting feedback, and serving as a source of motivation. Additionally, the participants' experiences of positive feedback and likes from their followers contributed to their posts serving as a motivational tool for their followers, while negative experiences took the form of vulgar comments and impolite direct messages from unknown individuals. This study employs phenomenological and communication experience approaches and focuses on men who work out at the gym.

Published: May 2024

Fishing in rivers is one of the major occupations of fisher communities of Bangladesh who live near the river banks across the country. The objectives of this qualitative review are to identify the key livelihood challenges experienced by the river fishermen (fishers) and to recommend some policies in light of the previous studies available for review. The researchers used a systematic review guided by the PRISMA method/guidelines. Boolean search strings were used to identify the literature from databases like PubMed, MDPI, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The findings show that the fishers' communities are excluded from mainstream society and deprived of enjoyment of basic human rights and needs. Also, they are suffering from extreme levels of economic hardships and vulnerabilities, climate change-related natural catastrophes, diseases, and poor communication systems. The fisher communities were also found to experience social stigma, social exclusion, and isolation. Moreover, family pressure linked to demographic change, financial constraints, poor market facilities, reduction of fishing areas for territorial conflicts, political unrest, and pressure from the musclemen and socially miscreants or deviant persons is observed in the study. The fishers were also found to suffer from a shortage of fishing gear, boats, nets, and resources.  Based on the systematic review of literature related to the study, several policy recommendations have been made that contribute to promoting the quality of lives of fishermen (fishers) through socio-economic, cultural, physical-infrastructural, and environmental development.

A Christological Reflection on Akan Hamartiology and Reconciliation
Authors: Boaheng Isaac
Published: May 2024

Sin is a universal phenomenon observed across all societies, no matter their level of development. Each society prescribes moral conduct that prohibits sin and serves to regulate human behavior. Unfortunately, there is a growing tendency to trivialize sin in contemporary Akan (Ghanaian) society, leading to a proliferation of social vices. The erosion of moral values has resulted in a distortion of right and wrong which further exacerbates societal decay. This situation has generated a fresh scholarly interest in the doctrine of sin and how sinful humanity can be reconciled with the divine. For the Akan society of Ghana, such a discourse needs to explore the relationship between sin in African Traditional Religion (ATR) and Christianity because ATR still significantly influences many Akan/African Christians despite the unprecedented numerical growth of Christianity in Africa in recent decades. Through descriptive and comparative research methods, this study sought to understand the concept of sin—its origins, nature, consequences, and remedies—in both Christianity and Akan Traditional Religion. The paper is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the concept of sin in both Akan and biblical traditions. Following this, the subject of reconciliation in both traditions is explored. Lastly, the paper critiques aspects of the Akan doctrine of sin and provides a Christological direction for addressing the inadequacies of the Akan belief about sin and reconciliation. The paper contributes to African Christian hamartiology and Christology.

In connection with the problem of describing holomorphically homogeneous real hypersurfaces in $ \Bbb C^4 $ we study in this article the 7-dimensional orbits of real Lie algebras in this space. By the well-known Morozov theorem, any nilpotent 7-dimensional Lie algebra has at least a 4-dimensional Abelian ideal. The article considers nilpotent indecomposable 7-dimensional Lie algebras containing a 5-dimensional Abelian ideal. It is proved that in the space $ \Bbb C^4 $ all the orbits of such algebras are Levi degenerate. This statement covers 73 algebras from the complete list of 149 indecomposable 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras.

On the convergence of periodic continued fractions via linearly recurring sequences
Authors: Taher R. Ben , Zioual D. , Benkhaldoun H.
Published: May 2024

In this paper, we give a new process to study the convergence of periodic continued fractions, making use of the approach on the linear difference equations with periodic coefficients, based on the analytic formula of the linearly recurring sequences. Some new explicit expressions of nth numerators and nth denominators of the convergents of periodic continued fractions lead to discuss their convergence. Moreover, we provide a new discussion on the closed link between quadratic irrational numbers and simple periodic continued fractions. Some applications of the Pell’s equations are given and some numerical examples which illustrate the theory are supplied.

Authors: Koşar Şahin Cansu , Ceylan Hatice , Yangöz Şefika Tuğba
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Decrease in microbiota diversity increases risk of diabetes by increasing harmful metabolites and activating
insulin resistance pathways. Adequate prebiotic and probiotic food consumption may be a potential tool in order to prevent
type 2 diabetes.
Aim: The aim of the research was to examine at the relationship between probiotic and prebiotic consumption and the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Method: A cross-sectional research design was used in this study. Data was obtained from December 2021 and June
2022 using Personal Information Form, Assessment of Probiotic and Prebiotic Food Consumption Form, and Finnish Type 2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire via online survey. General adults were included in this study. Univariate analysis, logistic and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted.
Results: Of 401 adults, 51.6% were male and 78.80% were under 45 years of age. 89% of the sample stated they consumed prebiotic-probiotics. Logistic regression analysis showed that prebiotic-probiotic consumption was not a significant predictor of low (p = 0.127), mild (p = 0.381), moderate (p = 0.819), high (p = 0.588) and very high risk of type 2 diabetes (p = 0.998). In the research, linear regression research revealed that there was no meaningful connection between prebiotic-probiotic consumption status and type 2 diabetes risk (β = -0.072; p = 0.151).
Conclusion: This research shown that using probiotics or prebiotics did not increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Thus, more research is required to determine the relation between the usege of probiotics or prebiotics and the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Can zigzag marking improve pedestrian safety at unsignalized crosswalks? An observational before-after study in Israel
Authors: Gitelman Victoria
Published: May 2024

Zigzag road marking near unsignalized pedestrian crosswalks is common in some countries but not yet allowed in Israel. An observational before-after study was conducted to explore its impacts on pedestrian crossing conditions. The measure was applied at three midblock urban crosswalks, on dual-carriageway and two-lane roads. The study examined changes in safety-related behaviors by comparing three periods: before the installation, and two weeks and two months afterwards. Shortly after the zigzag application, a significant decrease in average vehicle speeds, of 9%-16%, was observed at all study sites, but in a longer-term a decrease of 7%-8% remained at the dual-carriageway sites only. A relative increase in yielding rates to pedestrians was of 19%-20% in the short-term and of 13%-14% after two months, at dual-carriageway sites, with no change at the two-lane site. Overall, zigzag marking may improve pedestrian safety. However, as the effects were inconsistent, it was not recommended for widespread use.

Authors: Rossetti Silvia
Published: May 2024

Improving active mobility in settlements is one of the EU's core objectives to improve people's quality of life. EU guidelines indicate Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) as strategic planning tools to achieve sustainable results through the definition of objectives and the provision of actions. Scientific research has extensively explored numerous factors in the built environment and active mobility infrastructures that influence mobility features and demands. However, a gap exists between research and urban plans employed to promote sustainable mobility. This paper examines whether these identified factors from scientific literature have implications for enhancing active mobility actions in Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. First, a literature review highlights recurring factors in assessing active mobility networks. Then, an overview of actions supporting walkability and cyclability within Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans applied in the Emilia-Romagna Region in Italy is conducted. The two reviews comparison points out the expected implementation gap between research and practice.

Published: May 2024

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of hypothermia among preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation and whether their temperature at admission is associated with neonatal and maternal risk factors and gestational age. Furthermore, the study evaluates the association between admission temperature, neonatal morbidity, and in-hospital mortality. Methods: This study involved an eight-year retrospective analysis of preterm neonates born < 32 weeks of gestation and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at a tertiary hospital in Oman, from 2010 to 2017. Results: The study included 587 preterm infants with a mean gestational age of 28.4 weeks, a mean birth weight of 1154.2 g, and a mean admission temperature of 35.5 °C. Hypothermia (axillary temperature < 36.5 °C) was present in 509 (86.7%) infants. In univariate analysis, only birth weight and neonatal resuscitation were associated with admission temperature
(< 36.5 °C). In the multivariate analysis, only intraventricular hemorrhage demonstrated a significant association with the incidence of hypothermia. Conclusions: Most preterm newborns had hypothermia upon admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, which is associated with essential morbidities. More aggressive interventions are warranted to reduce the incidence of hypothermia in preterm infants.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate potential differences in cranio-cervical muscular activation among adolescents with different types of malocclusion.
Methods: This study involved thirty-two adolescents aged 10-15 years, categorized into three groups based on Angle. Angle Class I/control group (n=10), Angle Class II (n=12), and Angle Class III (n=10). Surface electromyography (EMG) was utilized to evaluate the activation levels of the Masseter, Temporalis Anterior, Cervical Erector Spinae, Sternocleidomastoid, and Upper Trapezius muscles. Measurements were obtained during mandibular rest, maximum clenching, and chewing tasks.
Results: The surface EMG activity of the Upper Trapezius muscle exhibited significant elevation in participants with Class III malocclusions relative to the other groups (p<0.05). While cranio-cervical muscle activities tended to be higher in the groups of Angle Class II and Class III in comparison to the Angle Class I, these differences did not achieve statistical significance, with the exception of the Upper Trapezius muscle (p>0.05).
Conclusion: These findings indicate a link between malocclusion types and modified muscle activation patterns in the cranio-cervical region, specifically involving the Upper Trapezius muscle. Insights into cranio-cervical muscle activity can enhance the comprehensive evaluation of malocclusion effects and provide valuable guidance for orthodontic and rehabilitation interventions.

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the injuries of football players faced with the isolation and lack of training caused by COVID-19 and an intense match tempo after stress and uncertainty between pre- and post-pandemic seasons.
Methods: Injury follow-up data (number, time, severity, type, location, tissue of interest, side, mechanism, rule violation, and recurrence) of a professional football team in Turkey for the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 seasons were analysed.
Results: In the 2019-2020 season, there were a total of 23 injuries, which increased after the pandemic. With a tighter match schedule, there were 31 injuries in the 2020-2021 season and 51 in the 2021-2022 season. The injury rate per match also increased to 0.53, 0.70, and 1.08, respectively. Injury severity, location of injury, tissues involved (p<0.05), mechanism of injury, and rules violations (p<0.001) were significantly different between seasons.
Conclusion: The isolation period caused by the pandemic and the tight match schedules affected injury rates per match and injury characteristics. These effects continued in the post-pandemic season.

Published: May 2024

The abolition of the apartheid regime and the democratic process of 1994 led to the freedom of movement within South Africa. According to data, KwaZulu-Natal Province has had the second-highest rate of migration since 2000. The labour market and the provision of services are significantly impacted by these migration patterns. This paper analyses the migration patterns of women and youth in KwaZulu-Natal Province, as it examines the associated risks and vulnerabilities. The primary data for the study was obtained from the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Social Development and International Organization for Migration, unpublished report based on research it commissioned in 2014. The target population of this study comprises women and youth between the ages of 15-39 years old from all 11 districts of KwaZulu-Natal as they are more likely to migrate. Multi-stage sampling was used to select the clusters, households and ultimately the individuals to be surveyed. A cross-sectional survey of 1783 respondents were selected from various households in KwaZulu-Natal. Findings indicated that most of the women and young people who migrated did so for economic reasons. Findings also indicated that the migrants were exposed to health risks, gender-based violence, sexual exploitation, contracting and spreading the human immunodeficiency virus as well as exposure to danger to life and property. The paper contributes to a deeper understanding of migration patterns and their implications within the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. The theoretical framework guiding this study is the "Push and Pull theory", which helps to elucidate the factors motivating and influencing migration decisions among young people in the region.
PRINSIP TA’AWUN DAN IMPLEMENTASINYA DI LEMBAGA ASURANSI SYARIAH
Authors: Afandi Setiya
Published: May 2024

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana implementasi prinsip ta’awun atau tolong menolong di perusahaan asuransi syariah yang sedang berkembang di Indonesia. Asuransi syariah yang menerapkan sistem yang sesuai dengan ajaran Islam berupaya menghilangkan nilai-nilai yang dilarang dalam Islam. Tulisan ini merupakan library research dimana sumber data diambilkan dari buku, Jurnal, Fatwa DSN dan lainnya. Seluruh data dideskripsikan dan dianalisis menjadi sebuah pembahasan yang sistematis. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa prinsip ta’awun yang dijalankan oleh lembaga asuransi syariah adalah aplikasi dari akad tabarru yaitu akad yang digunakan dalam asuransi syariah, Prinsip ta’awun ini adalah sebuah prinsip yang sangat mulia yang mempunyai esensi tolong menolong dalam hal kebaikan, prinsip inilah yang akan membedakan antara lembaga asuransi konvensional dan asuransi syariah. oleh karena itu prinsip ta’awun harus ada dan melekat pada asuransi syariah. Meskipun apabila tidak ada prinsip ini dalam menjalankan tata kelola di asuransi syariah tidak mempengaruhi batalnya kontrak yang disepakati oleh lembaga dan peserta asuransi, namun hal ini memberikan gambaran bahwa asuransi tidak mencerminkan nilai keislamannya dan tidak membedakan antara asuransi konvensional dan asuransi syariah. Dalam aplikasinya perusahaan asuransi syariah diharapkan memahami konsep asuransi syariah yang sesungguhnya. Perlu sekali adanya kajian untuk melihat apakah perusahaan asuransi syariah menerapkan prinsip syariahnya sesuai dengan Al-Qur’an, Hadist serta Undang-undang yang berlaku di Indonesia.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perencanaan dan implementasi pengembangan sumber daya manusia (SDM) dalam meningkatkan pembiayaan musyarakah di perbankan syariah dengan fokus pembahasan mengenai kualitas sumber daya manusia (SDM) terhadap peningkatan pembiayaan musyarakah yang terdapat di perbankan syariah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan analisis deskriptif. Adapun sumber data penelitian ini di dapat dari dokumen internal berupa file, hasil wawancara langsung dengan pihak Bank Syariah Indonesia KC Tangerang 2 mengenai pembiyaan musyarakah dan didukung sumber lain yang bersumber dari buku-buku yang berkaitan dengan tema penelitian, jurnal, website, dan sumber lainnya yang kemudian diolah dan dianalisis sedemikian rupa sehingga menjadi sebuah penelitian layak untuk dipublis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kualitas sumber daya manusia yang telah di lakukan dengan baik dimana selain dengan adanya perencanaan dan implementasi, dan pembiyaan musyarakah ini menurun bukan hanya disebabkan dengan oleh sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang berkualitas saja, melainkan juga di sebabkan karna banyak nasabah yang melakukan pembayaran angsurannya yang tidak di backup dengan pencarian pelunasan terhadap fasilitas pembiayaan musyarakah. Serta jika terdapat nasabah yang mengajukan pembiayaan sangat besar dengan kualitas pembayaran yang sangat baik maka pembiayaan dengan nominal kecil yang mengakibatkan penurunan pada pembiayaan musyarakah. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah dengan adanya perencanaan dan implementasi pengembangan sumber daya manusia (SDM) terhadap peningkatan pembiyaan musyarakah harus di dasarkan dengan sumber daya yang berkualitas. Namun pada saat terjadi pandemi Covid-19 mengakibatkan pembiyaan musyarakah menurun sehingga nasabah tidak dapat melakukan pembayaran dengan nominal yang sudah di sepakati oleh Bank Syariah Indonesia Kantor Cabang Tangerang 2.
