ETHICAL VALUES IN THE LAMIYYAT AL-ARAB
Authors: Muhammad Ahmad Barkat
Published: August 2024

Lamiyyat al-Arab by Al- Shanfara is an honest mirror of pre-Islamic life, reflecting its good and bad, and a pinnacle of artistic maturity. This study is a model for revealing psychological value-based phenomena in the lives of pre-Islamic people in general and Saʿālīk in particular. This paper aims to extract the most important moral values in the Lamiyyat Al-Arab, analyzing the verses of the Al-Lamiyyat related to values, while comparing them with others. The paper used the inductive, analytical, and deductive approach. The results show that Lamiyyat al-Arab expresses the values of courage, pride, kindness, generosity, and others. The life of nomadism and the dryness of nature contributed to the uniqueness of Al-Shanfara’s poetry. Al-Lamiyyat expressed a class of society, namely the Saʿālīk, through the values and morals prevailing among them. The poet expressed these values through many expressions. The poet used Bahr Al-Taweel through which he expressed the values of courage, pride, and kindness. The moral values mentioned in the Lamiya are approved by Islam and common sense. The researcher recommends more specialized studies on Lamiyyat al-Arab and other Arabic literature studies such as the artistic aspect, rhetorical, eloquence, semiotic, musical, aesthetic, and other studies.
APPLYING THE DIALOGUE METHOD IN TEACHING THE ARABIC LANGUAGE AT SMAIT AL-ARABIYAH
Authors: Salam Adnin A. , Safaini Safaini
Published: August 2024

The Dialogue method is considered one of the most effective ways to teach Arabic, as it helps students achieve fluency in pronunciation and sentence construction. Hence, the researchers aim to implement this method in their Arabic teaching due to the struggle of students at SMAIT Al-Arabiyah with sentence construction. The research questions are: What is the process of learning Arabic using the Dialogue method at SMAIT Al-Arabiyah, and how effective is learning Arabic using the this method? The objectives of the research are to identify the process of learning Arabic through the Dialogue method at SMAIT Al-Arabiyah and to assess its effectiveness. Researchers hypothesize that the Dialogue method effectively enhances Arabic conversation skills. They employed experimental research methods and found that the application of the Dialogue method involved four sessions: an initial meeting for method explanation and pre-test, two sessions for method application, and a final session for post-test. The results showed that the method is effective, with an average pre-test score of 67.60 and a post-test score of 72.39, and a T score of 3.57. These findings indicate that this method is highly suitable for improving students' speaking abilities.
Innovative Work Behaviour in Higher Education Institutions: The Role of Learning at the Individual Level
Authors: Rusok Nur Hazelen Mat , Samy Naresh Kumar , Bhaumik Amiya
Published: August 2024

Educational institutions can sustain academic offerings with profound quality standards by implementing reform policies and activities involving continuous learning and progressive inquiry and dialogue. In addition, higher education institutions have to strongly emphasize reaffirming the foundations of an atmosphere that is learner-oriented, pleasant, and instructional. Because of the commitment to quality assurance, it has become possible to identify strengths and potential while simultaneously monitoring areas of weakness. A significant increase in the innovative work behaviour of higher education institutions has the potential to considerably benefit in eliminating the socio-economic disparities that exist in the present, particularly in the established country. Even though it is steadily getting attention in the context of higher education institutions, the learning organization aspects can increase inventive capacity. This is commonly viewed as essential and looked forward in commercial organizations. This study report aims to improve the position of higher education institutions as learning organizations that contribute to the closing of knowledge gaps worldwide and strengthen the global economy’s revolutionary demands. The data for this empirical work came from an online survey conducted with academics ranked by professors from public higher education institutions in Malaysia. The SmartPLS allows for generating a structural model that draws inferences on the bonding between learning organization aspects and innovative work behaviour. Additionally, the model provides implications for research and practice in the academic discipline.

Published: August 2024

Introdução: a hanseníase é uma doença granulomatosa crônica causada pelo Mycobacterium leprae. Ela representa um problema de saúde pública relevante no país e impacta na população de maneira geral. Objetivo: relatar o acompanhamento de um paciente com hanseníase que apresenta reação em cadeia polimerase quantitativa (qPCR) positiva. Descrição do caso: paciente do sexo masculino, 53 anos, residente na zona rural de São Geraldo da Piedade, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Em 2015, o paciente procurou a Policlínica Central Municipal de Governador Valadares e foi encaminhado ao Centro de Referência em Doenças Endêmicas e Programas Especiais Dr. Alexandre Castelo Branco (CREDEN-PES) para dar início ao tratamento, porém ele não aderiu à terapêutica alegando dificuldade de acesso ao Centro de tratamento. Em 2017, o indivíduo retornou ao CREDEN-PES, onde não só foi examinado, mas também foi coletado material para baciloscopia e para qPCR. Por conseguinte, o resultado do índice baciloscópico (IB) foi zero e positivo para qPCR. Dessa forma, o paciente foi encaminhado para tratamento no município de origem e aderiu a duas doses de poliquimioterapia multibacilar (PQT-MB). No ano de 2021, voltou ao Centro de Referência para novas avaliações e essas resultaram em IB igual a 1,5 e diminuição da sensibilidade plantar. Em seguida, iniciou o uso do esquema único de tratamento para hanseníase (MDT-U). Em 2023, mudou-se para o Paraná e recentemente relatou o quadro subsequente: estado de saúde regular, alteração de equilíbrio, quedas frequentes, perda de força nos joelhos, pele seca e edema atrás da orelha. A positividade da reação qPCR motivou a equipe a procurar e a acompanhar esse paciente, que inicialmente não aderiu ao tratamento. Conclusão: acredita-se que o uso de ferramentas laboratoriais para auxiliar e para reforçar o diagnóstico, assim como o tratamento, tem contribuído para um controle mais eficaz da hanseníase.
Secure and efficient intelligent transport system based on cryptographic authentication mechanism for vehicular ad hoc networks
Authors: Hadi Hayder Sabeeh , Obaid Ahmed J. , Alkhafaji Mohammed Ayad
Published: August 2024

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) are two of the future’s most commonly used communication systems. VANETs are designed to protect vehicle drivers by establishing autonomous contacts with nearby vehicles. Vehicles operate as intelligent mobile nodes in adhoc networks characterized by mobility and complexity. Cybersecurity in VANET is affected by malicious attacks, which must be detected and prevented. The overall performance of the proposed GPCR-MA with blackhole and Sybil attack is average latency, packet transmission ratio, energy consumption and throughput. It is predicted because the Blackhole attack vehicle sends answers instantly without checking its routing table. These changes in the metrics used contribute to the network efficiency deteriorating primarily in the face of an attack. Compared with other related schemes, our proposal provides privacy and security guarantees for VANETs while improving efficiency.

How to Think Like a Poet
Authors: George Dai
Published: August 2024

An entertaining guide to history's most influential and inspiring poets – from Homer and Sappho to Shakespeare and Frank O'Hara – and how they can teach us to better understand the world around us.

How did the greatest poets in history make the world anew? And what can we learn from the magic, wisdom and humour of their poetry? From the genius of the Ancient Greeks through to the love poetry and metaphysics of the Renaissance, through to the New York poets of the 20th century, this is the ultimate guide to the greatest writers of the human age.

Through short, biographical portraits, poet and writer Dai George provides an entertaining introduction to the great works of poetry, and a welcoming guide to how we can read them. He addresses questions poets have grappled with: How can we truly describe the world? How can we express love, grief or friendship? How can poetry help us to understand justice, dreams or anger?

This book paints vivid pictures of a global selection of renowned poets throughout history: from Sappho, Li Bai and Rumi, to William Shakespeare and John Donne, to Frank O Hara, Pablo Neruda and Sylvia Plath. George also seeks to re-examine the canon, traditionally dominated by Western, white and male poets, and bring to light major figures from other important cultures and communities, including China, India and the Caribbean.

Borneo 1945
Authors: Konstam Angus
Published: August 2024

A fascinating account of the last major Allied operation in the South-West Pacific, and the largest Australian military operation of World War II.

A week after Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Japanese troops landed near Brunei on the South-East Asian island of Borneo. Within eight weeks, the entire island had been overrun, and its Dutch and British Indian defenders had been ejected. By early April 1942, the entire Dutch East Indies were in Japanese hands, and remained under Japanese occupation for a further three years.

The late-1944 US landings in the Philippines effectively cut oil- and resource-rich Borneo off from Japan. Now that it was considered a worthy strategic prize for the Allies, General Douglas MacArthur, commanding the South-West Pacific Theater, began planning for the recapture of the key island.

This compelling work explores the planning and execution of OperationOboe, which was spearheaded by Australian troops but involved naval and special forces from the United States, Britain and the Netherlands. Detailed maps explore the six separate stages, each of which involved amphibious landings. Battlescene artworks and photographs bring to life notable events such as the capture of Tarakan, Labuan, Brunei and Sarawak. Also covered are the Allied special forces guerrilla campaigns and Australian 7th Infantry Division's landing at Balikapan – which proved to be the turning point of this hard-fought campaign.
Regularisations of Irregularly Staying Migrants in the EU
Authors: Hinterberger Kevin Fredy
Published: August 2024

'Combating' irregular migration is one of the key challenges to migration management at EU level. This book addresses one of the most pressing structural problems regarding the EU’s return policy: the low return rate of irregularly staying migrants.

In this regard the EU Return Directive obliges Member States to issue a return decision, yet only 40% of such decisions are enforced annually. Moreover, despite the political and legal efforts, the EU is not making any significant progress in enforcing the rules it has laid down in the Return Directive. The legislation of EU Member States may, however, serve as a source for possible solutions to ‘combat’ the problem of irregularly staying migrants.

It is for this reason that the book compares the system of regularisations in Austria, Germany and Spain. Regularisations constitute an effective alternative to returns because they terminate the irregular residence of migrants, not through deportation, but rather by granting a right of residence. Regularisation is therefore understood as each legal decision that awards legal residency to irregularly staying migrants. As is shown by the examination and comparison of regularisations in Austria, Germany and Spain, differentiated systems of regularisation exist at national level. However, EU regularisations supplementing the present return policy would be more effective at ‘combating’ irregular migration at EU level.

Introduction to the World's Major Religions
Authors: Taitz Emily
Published: August 2024

Judaism, one of the world's great religions, was the first monotheistic faith. This belief in one God, along with basic tenets, laws, and practices written in the Hebrew Bible, laid the foundations of other religions. Therefore, familiarity with Judaism is crucial to understanding Christianity and Islam as well. Judaism is also more than a faith; it encompasses national, ethnic, and cultural elements that impact Jewish life. This book provides a content-rich yet thoroughly readable and enjoyable overview of the richness of Judaism in one volume for students. Narrative chapters explain Judaism's eventful history from founding by Abraham and Sarah to Diaspora, basic texts such as the Torah and Talmud, tenets such as food prohibitions, the different branches, where and how Jews worship and live today, important rituals and holidays, and major figures.

This volume carefully presents the diversity and wide variety of beliefs of Jews. It also addresses the absence of faith in some Jews and the secular aspects of Jewishness. The role of Israel past and present underlies the text as well, and this knowledge of the Jewish ties to Israel will help illuminate the ongoing struggles there with the Palestinians and neighboring Arabs.

Authors: Jiang Rui , Qu Qi , Wang Zhiyu , Luo Feng , Mou Shuanglin
Published: August 2024

Introduction

The association of air pollution with bone mineral density (BMD) has attracted increasing attention. However, establishing a causal relationship remains uncertain.

Methods

We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study employing PM2.5, PM2.5-10, PM10, nitrogen dioxide, and nitrogen oxides as exposures and BMD as the outcome to explore the causality between air pollution and the occurrence of decreased BMD.

Results

By employing the IVW method, we identified a negative causality between air pollution (PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen oxides) and BMD.

Conclusions

Our findings demonstrate that PM2.5, PM10 and nitrogen oxides exposure may contribute to decreased BMD.

The utilization of social media by politicians for political campaigns is increasingly common at the present time. Even more so during the pandemic in which the offline interaction between politicians and voters is severely limited. Thus, this research is interested in investigating the utilization of social media by a political candidate (Gibran Rakabuming) during the City Mayoral Election. This research aims to uncover the construct of the political brand displayed by Gibran on Instagram during the City Mayoral Election 2020 in Solo, Central Java. This research employs quantitative content analysis on social media contents posted by Gibran (on his official IG account @gibran_rakabuming) during the period of November 8, 2019 until May 31, 2021. From the total population of 2,031 posts, this research selected 90 posts (using non-probability purposive sampling) as samples. The research found: 1) the two elements of political brand dominantly displayed by Gibran on his Instagram account are integrity and competence. In addition, Gibran also displayed the element of social imagery by which he showcased his image as a young political candidate (or â€œmillennial generationâ€); 2) the element of political brand consistently displayed by Gibran was professionalism by which he highlighted his image as a successful entrepreneur; 3) Gibran was not sufficiently found to be using his social media account to develop interaction with his followers. The limitation of this research mainly comes from its sample size and sampling technique. This research utilizes non-probability sampling, which limits its external validity. Therefore, the findings of this research cannot be generalized to describe the total population (all social media content posted by Gibran during the election).  However, this research provides a useful initial study on the strategy utilized by political candidates in Indonesia (through the use of social media) to win elections amid the limitations imposed by the pandemic.

A reprodução camponesa na sericicultura em diamante do sul/Paraná: entre a subordinação e a resistência no campo
Authors: Arruda Vanessa Bueno , Roos Djoni
Published: August 2024

Este artigo objetiva ampliar as análises sobre os camponeses sericicultores em Diamante do Sul/PR analisando o processo de monopolização do território e a subordinação da renda camponesa. Neste processo, se evidencia os estágios do ciclo do bicho-da-seda e como a indústria monopolista controla as atividades do campesinato, ditando regras e principalmente subordinando o fruto de seu trabalho. No entanto, embora haja a subordinação camponesa através do sistema integrado da sericultura, destacam-se um conjunto de atividades características do modo de vida camponês que se constituem enquanto resistência, permitindo a reprodução familiar e a manutenção na terra. As práticas voltadas ao autoconsumo são exemplos dos mais importantes como forma de recriação camponesa, as quais se interligam neste processo contraditório para a permanência no campo.
Clinical performance of the ImmuneMed Dengue NS1 Ag Rapid I test for the diagnosis of dengue fever: a diagnostic accuracy study
Authors: Namirimu Teddy , Kim Sunjoo
Published: August 2024

Background: Dengue virus (DENV) is transmitted by mosquitoes and is becoming a global threat owing to an increase in the number of cases and mortality, especially in low- and middle-income tropical countries. Rapid and easy-to-use diagnostic tests are required to differentiate dengue fever from other febrile illnesses. Methods: We evaluated the clinical performance of the ImmuneMed Dengue NS1 Ag Rapid I test (ImmuneMed, Inc.) using positive and negative sera collected from patients with confirmed DENV infection and healthy individuals, respectively. The AccuPower® ZIKV (DENV, CHIKV) multiplex real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay (Bioneer) was used as the reference standard to confirm DENV infection. Results: One hundred DENV-positive and 161 DENV-negative samples were evaluated. Overall, the sensitivity and specificity were 100% (95% confidence interval [CI], 96%–100%) and 100% (95% CI, 98%–100%), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 100% for both DENV-1 and DENV- 2. The sensitivity was the same (100%) for sera collected < 3 days and ≥ 3 days from symptom onset. The performance of the ImmuneMed Dengue NS1 Ag Rapid I and realtime RT-PCR tests showed strong overall agreement. Conclusion: The ImmuneMed Dengue NS1 Ag Rapid I test was highly specific for DENV and as sensitive as RT-PCR. These findings suggest that the ImmuneMed Dengue NS1 Ag Rapid I test may be a useful point-of-care test for dengue fever.

Published: August 2024

Bu makalede Milli Kütüphane Yazma Eserler Koleksiyonu’nda bulunan 06 Mil Yz A 715 numaralı şiir mecmuasında yer alan daha önce yayımlanmamış Şem’î mahlaslı 12 gazel incelenmiştir. Makalede önce çalışmamızda konu edindiğimiz gazellerin yer aldığı mecmua ana hatlarıyla tanıtılmış; daha sonra bu gazellerinin kaynaklarda bahsi geçen Şem’î mahlaslı 11 şairden hangisine ait olabileceği üzerine durulmuştur. Bunun için ilk olarak mecmuada şiirleri yer alan şairlerin vefat tarihlerinden yola çıkılarak bir sınırlama yapılmış ve bunun sonucunda bu gazellerin XV. ve XVI. yüzyılda yaşamış 5 farklı Şem’i’den birine ait olabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Bu 12 gazelin sunduğu eldeki sınırlı verilerle yapılan inceleme sonucunda gazellerin XVI. yüzyılda yaşamış olan Kadı Şem’î’ye ait olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Bu tahminler gelecekte yapılacak daha kapsamlı çalışmalara katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir.
Çalışmamızda, gazellerin daha önce yayımlanmamış olmalarının yanı sıra orijinallik ve mahallîleşme bağlamında dikkat çeken içerikleri de incelenmiştir. Sevgili dilinden gazel söylenmesi, güzellik unsurlarına yönelik yaygın benzetmelerin başka güzellik unsurlarına yüklenmesi, Halep’ten söz edilmesi, Kanlıca yoğurdu gibi mahallî unsurların ve orijinal teşbihlerin kullanılması gibi özellikler bu gazellerin edebiyat araştırmaları açısından önemli bir katkı sağlayacağını göstermektedir.

Dismenore, yang dikenal juga sebagai kram menstruasi yang menyakitkan, merupakan isu yang sering dihadapi oleh wanita dalam masa reproduksi. Dengan prevalensi yang tinggi dan pengaruh signifikan terhadap kualitas hidup, dismenore telah menjadi fokus utama dalam bidang kesehatan reproduksi. Terapi komplementer, seperti bekam kering, semakin populer sebagai metode alternatif dalam penanganan dismenore. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini agar dapat  mengimplementasikan hasil penelitian terapi bekam kering yang dapat menurunkan skala nyeri disminore pada remaja putri. Metode pengabdian ini menerapkan terapi bekam kering untuk meredakan nyeri dismenore pada 15 peserta di Kelurahan Pringsewu Barat, Lampung, pada Oktober 2023. Metode pelaksanaannya melibatkan tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Peserta mengisi data diri dan menjalani pre-test menggunakan skala NRS untuk mengukur tingkat nyeri sebelum intervensi. Terapi bekam kering dilakukan dengan penempatan cangkir pada titik-titik tertentu selama 10-15 menit. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui penilaian post-test terhadap intensitas nyeri setelah intervensi. Hasil intervensi terapi bekam kering menunjukkan perubahan signifikan, dengan 86,66% peserta tidak lagi merasakan nyeri dismenore. Bekam kering, tanpa tindakan skarifikasi, efektif mengurangi produksi prostaglandin, serta merangsang pelepasan hormon endorfin dan enkephalin, menghambat transmisi sinyal nyeri ke otak. Dengan dasar ilmiah dan anjuran dalam Sunnah Nabi, bekam menjadi solusi efektif dan diminati oleh banyak dokter sebagai metode terapi yang berharga dalam pengobatan berbagai penyakit.
