Authors: Melenia Fransisca , Agustini Aisa Tri , Putra Hendrawan Santosa
Published: April 2023

This study aims to examine the effect of implementing green accounting on the environmental performance of cement, energy, and mining companies in Indonesia. This study is a quantitative study. The data used are secondary data obtained from sustainability reports of cement, energy, and mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period of 2017-2020. The data analysis method used in this study is partial least squares using the WarpPLS 7.0 program. The results show that the implementation of green accounting in the form of renewable energy has a negative effect on environmental performance. The implementation of green accounting in the form of recycled waste has a significant positive effect on environmental performance. Meanwhile, the implementation of green accounting in the form of environmental costs has no effect on environmental performance.

IMMORTAL HUMAN: TINDAKAN MANUSIA UNTUK ABADI DALAM PANDANGAN MUHAMMAD IQBAL
Authors: Bustomi Imam
Published: April 2023

This study aims to find the concept of immortality in Iqbal's view by making it relevant to human action in the world. Human action that leads to morality is needed to provide awareness that human perfection can only be achieved by maximizing actions in accordance with the enhancement of his self-concept. To achieve this goal, this study uses qualitative methods with the type of literature study. As an analysis tool, this study uses content analysis techniques. Based on the data generated, this study found that conscious and free human action is the key for humans to achieve perfection. The resulting perfection can lead humans to immortality by absorbing the surrounding reality, including the absorption of the great ego of the Most Perfect. The offer of perfection given by Iqbal reconstructs the concept of timelessness in the views of classical Islamic thinkers that lead to life after death. Eternal in Iqbal's view does not refer to a place but to a state so that Heaven and Hell which are considered places of eternity are conditions related to the process of human attainment towards immortality.
KONSEP NEGARA DALAM FILSAFAT POLITIK AL-FARABI DAN KONTEKSTUALISASINYA DI INDONESIA
Authors: Samsiyah Umi
Published: April 2023

This article describes the concept of the state promoted by al-Farabi and its contextualization with politics in Indonesia.This discussion is interesting because there are several values in al-Farabi's thought that can be contextualized with the political system in Indonesia.For this reason, this article carries two problem formulations, namely how is the concept of the state promoted by al-Farabi?How is the contextualization of al-Farabi's concept of state with the political system in Indonesia?By using a literature review, this article finds that al-Farabi's thoughts are a combination of his reading of Plato's and Aristotle's thoughts with Islamic religious doctrines.Al-Farabi constructs an ideal state form in which there are good people and leaders who aim to achieve happiness.The Indonesian state in al-Farabi's country classification can be equated with al-Farabi's democratic state,namely there are some similarities with the Pancasila democratic system which is the Indonesian state administration system.

ETIKA HAMKA Konteks Pembangunan Moral Bangsa Indonesia
Authors: Taufik Muhammad
Published: April 2023

The theme in this paper is about the ethical principles of HAMKA in the context of moral development in Indonesia. The theme of ethics is commonly discussed in various scientific works, but what makes it interesting is that he is one of the greatest thinkers in Indonesia who is also known as a scholar, writer, expert on Sufism, and as a philosopher. This is what underlies the author to examine and seek answers to the problem formulas, namely how is the concept of HAMKA ethics and how are the principles of HAMKA ethics in the context of moral development of the Indonesian? The method I use is a qualitative research method in the form of library research, namely by using the content analysis method. The content of each material can be in the form of sources from books, journals, or articles that are relevant to the topics that have been investigated, analyzed, and synthesized to form a complete concept in answering research questions. The result of this research is that HAMKA ethics has the characteristics of rational-religious ethics. HAMKA made the basis of its ethics from Greek ethical concepts to Muslim philosophers such as Ibn Miskawaih and al-Ghazali. HAMKA synthesizes ethical thoughts from philosophers with moral values taught by Islam through the Qur'an and Hadith.
Teologi Transformatif Pemikiran Moeslim Abdurrahman
Authors: Afandi Moh. Arif
Published: April 2023

This article explains transformative theology according to Moeslim Abdurrahman. In essence, theology is not only a problem with God but is closely related to social problems. The assumption that the scope of theology is only in the vertical realm requires a more serious review because this is a very narrow view. Theology should provide space to pay attention to social conditions in society, to see social inequality, injustice, and oppression. Then proceed to read the social structure critically, to find the cause of the social problem. The re-reading of Islamic theology is carried out so that it remains relevant to the times, able to solve existing social problems. This research is a literature study using qualitative methods, to analyze the data using an interpretation method, while the approach uses a social approach. The results of this research are the essence of transformative theology according to Moeslim Abdurrahman, the methods of transformative theology, and the goals of transformative theology.
SPIRITUALITAS DALAM PERSPEKTIF TASAWUF DAN NEUROSAINS: RELASI KOMPLEMENTER ATAU KOMPARTEMEN?
Authors: Waliyuddin Muhammad Naufal
Published: April 2023

Academic debates about spirituality have been going on for a long time with varied narratives. Sufism, as one who also discussed it, presents a view of spirituality in terms of Islamic metaphysics and meta-psychological understanding in the paradigm of interconnection between creation and the Creator. Meanwhile, Neuroscience, as a new science developed from the findings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) regarding the nerve function of the human brain, presents a different view and tends to be rational, logical, and materialistic. This paper is a comparative study that discusses how the two sciences describe their explanations of spirituality. This literature research observes a number of relevant references, the latest research results, some debates in several forums, and then dissects it using critical discourse analysis. The results obtained indicate that there is a contradictory explanation on the one hand or a (separate) compartment between the meaning of spirituality in the Sufism perspective and the Neuroscience point of view. On the opposite side, there are several research efforts that elaborate spirituality in Sufism to have a complementary relationship (complementary) with Neuroscience. Even so, there is a kind of narrative impression that forces the concept of spirituality according to Neuroscience to support the conception of spirituality in the view of Sufism. As a follow-up discussion regarding this matter, it can be seen that there is a kind of research tendency that is testimonial and seeks confirmation of the initial assumptions of their research and builds arguments based on their tastes of knowledge.
Apologi Teologis atas Ibn'Arabi : Analisis Kritis Kitab Al-Yawaqit wa al-Jawahir fi 'Aqaid al-Akabir Karya Imam Sya'rani
Authors: Zifamina Ikhbar F
Published: April 2023

Ibn ‘Arabi is a great sufi master in the history of Islam that is often misunderstood and revered and yet defended in theological matters. One of the Islamic scholars who defended Ibn ‘Arabi in theological context was Imam Abdul Wahhab Asy-Sya’rani. His book, entitled al-Yawaqit wa al-Jawahir fi Bayan ‘Aqaid al-Akabir, contained a script beetwen kalam and tasawuf especially an apology of Imam Sya’rani that to defense Ibn ‘Arabi according to the Futuhat al-Makkiyyah. This reseacrh focuses on the study of the book by critical analysis of the apology or defense of Imam Sya’rani over Ibn ‘Arabi in theological context, esepecially on the problem of tanzih (trancendece) and tasybih(immanence). The urgency of this study to show the dialectic of both Islamic discourses, kalam and tasawuf, which intertwined with each other and open a dialogue space beetwen of two. Hence, this study uses a theological approach with critical analysis method. The author of the study then found that : First, Al-Yawaqit wa al-Jawahir indicates that Imam Sya’rani in tanzih and tasybih more like a Ibn ‘Arabi’s synthesis or harmonization either. Second, the theological apology of Imam Sya’rani which defense Ibn ‘Arabi is more apologetic and justifical  with  jawab wa su’al response pattern as the mutakallim.

Published: April 2023

This study examines the legacy of Sunan Muria's thoughts on conserving water sourced from the sign and symbol around the graves The existence of water plays an important role in the religious studies. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism use water as an important component in every religious ritual. Therefore, one of the contemporary issues in Islamic studies that has attracted the attention of scholars is water conservation. Based on initial observations, researchers found a water jar that is sacred by the local community. Social, religious, and cultural narratives about sacred concepts are the main points of this research. In addition, based on extensive field research, various interviews and literature studies on related topics, the researcher explores the complexity of the heritage of water conservation thought in Sunan Muria's perspective through the identification of signs and symbols on their tombs from the concepts of eco-theology; bi'ah al-hudry.

Authors: Munandar Siswoyo Aris
Published: April 2023

The lack of texts about the contribution of female Sufis, but there are several female Sufis who spread the doctrine and practice of Sufism, namely Rabi'ah and Aishah al-Ba'uniyyah are two big names and female Sufis who prove that women have equal opportunities in attainment of spiritual knowledge. Therefore, writers are interested in female Sufis, especially in Western countries, where so far many writers have focused on female Sufis in the eastern world, therefore it is very interesting to discuss about female Sufis in the West, namely Hajjah Naziha, a female Sufi who has a movement. philanthropy at the international level. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach and reviews the literature such as books, journals, articles, and various sources that are relevant to the theme of the discussion in this paper. The results of the study explained that female Sufis namely Hajjah Amina Adil and Hajjah Naziha Adil with their organization called HNCO (Hajjah Naziha Charitable Organization) were involved in philanthropy. The movement has spread its wings to several countries and continues to help the community, especially those who limit the spread of COVID-19.

De-Westernisasi Konsep Manusia: Menelaah Konsep Syed Naquib Al-Attas tentang Hakikat Manusia
Authors: Sandimula Nur Shadiq
Published: April 2023

Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, the renowned scholar of Islamization of Knowledge, has recognized the defect of the western worldview concerning man, which eventually brought havoc to humanity. Al-Attas' concept of the nature of man is encountered as a critique of the Western conception of man that causes epistemological-conceptual problems severely in the Islamic world. This article aims to conceptualize al-Attas' concept of human nature. This qualitative research employs the content analysis method of al-Attas works. It uses a descriptive-philosophical approach. The result shows that al-Attas conceptualized the concept of human nature based on the concept of insan, which is defined as a living being that speaks. The concept becomes the antithesis of the western worldview's concept of man. Man is a new creation associated with the duality of the soul in the human self. The reality of man is his articulate soul (nafs al-nathiqah), the soul that took Covenant (mitsaq) with God. This soul can overcome the animal's desire in his body through the purification of the soul to achieve a state of soul of tranquility (nafs al-muthmainnah). This state of the soul is marked by the tranquility of the soul and settled happiness (sa'adah).

Authors: Suhartini Atin , Saifunnuha Mukhamad
Published: April 2023

Islam dan Kebudayaan merupakan dua hal yang tidak terpisahkan dalam kajian Islam di Indonesia. Hal tersebut telah terbuktikan lewat hadirnya berbagai literature sejarah Islam di Indonesia dan fenomena praktik-praktik keislaman-kebudayaan yang ada, baik yang telah dikaji oleh para peneliti dan akademisi, maupun yang belum. Salah satu praktik kesenian Islam ‘Sholawat Emprak’, yang mengintegrasikan antara kesenian Jawa dan sholawat kepada Nabi saw –yang kemudian menjadi objek kajian dalam penelitian ini–, merupakan salah satu kasus representatif yang dapat digunakan untuk melihat lebih jauh tentang kedekatan Islam dan Budaya di Indonesia. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis hendak menunjukkan unsur sufistik di dalam praktek kesenian tersebut berdasarkan konsep praktik sufistik Jalaluddin Rumi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif lapangan (qualitative-field research) dengan melakukan observasi dan wawancara, serta didukung dengan sumber-sumber referensi tertulis yang ada. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik kesenian ‘Sholawat Emprak’ yang dilakukan di Pesantren Kaliopak Yogyakarta memiliki nilai-nilai sufistik yang melekat, berdasar hubungan keidentikan dengan konsep sufistiknya Jalaluddin Rumi. Hal itu ditunjukkan dengan kesamaan unsur-unsur yang ada, seperti teks (sya’ir), musik, dan tarian; yang ketiganya sama-sama ada, baik dalam praktik sufistiknya Jalaluddin Rumi maupun dalam praktik kesenian Sholawat Emprak.

A chained metonymic approach toίdὸ‘eye’ constructional metonymies in Hausa
Authors: Tsakuwa Mustapha Bala , Wen Xu , Lamido Ibrahim
Published: April 2023

Unlike previous studies which generally seem to focus more on Hausa metaphorical expressions, this study investigates a wide range of uses ofίdὸ‘eye’ in its constructional metonymy patterns in the language by exploring corpus data that contain over 300 eye-related expressions. We observe that some constructional metonymies maintain a set of fixed words and syntax in activating conceptual shifts and producing eye metonymies while others have semi-fixed patterns and produce the same metonymies. Lexical items liketsόkάlế,kὰn,ὰ,dὰ, andbὰsίrὰamong others are constant constituents in the constructional metonymies in which they appear. In the metonymic chaining, the basic mapping of eye metonymies occurs via thepart for partrelation under E-metonymies and thesub- for supercategoryrelation under C-metonymies. We also observe that E→E→C coding has the highest chained metonymic structure in the creation of the eye metonymies. Both attributive and predicative colligates motivate metonymic senses in the language. Finally, our analysis reveals that the eye is metonymically conceptualized and semantically extended to various target domains and produces metonymic conceptualizations that make the eye stand for vision, desire, envy, control, attention, perception, person, meeting, brain, intelligence, and so on.
Chow transformation of coherent sheaves

We define a dual of the Chow transformation of currents on any complex projective manifold. This integral transformation is a factor of a left inverse of the Chow transformation and its composition with the Chow transformation is a right inverse of a linear differential operator, which does not commute with

Decomposition of polynomials using the shift-composition operation
Authors: Nozdrunov Vladislav I.
Published: April 2023

V. I. Solodovnikov had employed the shift-composition operation to investigate homomorphisms of shift registers into linear automata; in his papers, conditions for the absence of nontrivial inner homomorphisms of shift registers were derived. An essential role was played by the condition of linearity of the left component of the shift-composition operation in the corresponding polynomial decomposition. In this paper we consider the case where the left component is a function belonging to a wider class, which includes the class of linear functions.

Criteria for maximal nonlinearity of a function over a finite field
Authors: Ryabov Vladimir V.
Published: April 2023

An n-place function over a field with q elements is called maximally nonlinear if it has the greatest nonlinearity among all such functions. Criteria and necessary conditions for maximal nonlinearity are obtained, which imply that, for even n, the maximally nonlinear functions are bent functions, but, for q > 2, the known families of bent functions are not maximally nonlinear. For an arbitrary finite field, a relationship between the Hamming distances from a function to all affine mappings and the Fourier spectra of the nontrivial characters of the function are found.
Population genetics and pedigree geography of Trionychia japonica in the four mountains of Henan Province and the Taihang Mountains
Authors: Zhu Hui , Chen Zhichao
Published: April 2023

Objective

Human activities and climate change have changed the living environment of species, accelerated the rate of species extinction, and global biodiversity is facing a huge threat. The objective of this study is to determine the resource protection strategy of freshwater planarian by systematically exploring the population genetics and pedigree geography of the planarian population in the four mountain systems of Henan Province and Taihang Mountains.

Methods

Taking the Japanese planarian in the four mountain systems of Henan Province and Taihang Mountains as an example, DNA was extracted with the help of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI), mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (Cytb), and nuclear gene internal transcribed spacer-1 (ITS-1), amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced, and genetic diversity, genetic structure, and pedigree geographical pattern were analyzed by single-gene analysis and polygene joint analysis.

Results

The corresponding length of Cytb, COI, and nuclear gene ITS-1 sequences in the four mountains of Henan Province is 308, 805, and 632 bp, respectively, and the nucleotide diversity and haplotype diversity are 0.00212 and 0.975, respectively. The gene length of ITS-1 and Cytb in Taihang Mountains is 668 and 315 bp, respectively, with a total length of 984 bp. There are 10 shared haplotypes and 36 unique haplotypes. The values of all nucleic acid diversity and haplotype diversity were 0.00156 and 0.965, respectively, and the genetic variation coefficients between populations and groups were 20.28% and 16.40%, respectively (P < 0.05). Different haplotypes of the four mountain systems in Henan Province and Taihang Mountains are scattered in different geographic populations, and there is no correlation between them and their geographic locations, which is consistent with the results of phylogeny.

Conclusion

The genetic diversity of Trionychia japonica population in the four mountain systems of Henan Province and Taihang Mountains shows high haploid diversity and low nucleotide diversity, and phylogenetic analysis has not found obvious pedigree geographical pattern.
From demonstrative to filler:estein Amazonian Spanish and beyond
Authors: Vallejos-Yopán Rosa
Published: April 2023

In Amazonian Spanish,estehas two main functions: demonstrative and filler. Filler-este, which originally evolved from demonstrative-este, serves to deal with word-formulation delays during spontaneous speech production. Analyses of conversations reveal thatesteprimarily functions as a filler: 70% of the tokens ofesteare either fillers serving as placeholders, which replace lexical items in specific syntactic slots, or fillers serving as hesitators, which are non-referential and distributionally free. Further, phonetic analyses show that demonstrative-esteand filler-esteexhibit different phonetic shapes. Demonstrative-estepatterns with disyllabic words with penultimate stress – the first vowel is longer than the second vowel. Filler-esteshows the opposite configuration – the second vowel is significantly longer than the first vowel. The evolution ofestefrom demonstrative to filler may have been facilitated by two conspiring forces: its use as cataphor whose referent comes later in the discourse, and its use for recognitional purposes, in which establishing a referent relies on shared knowledge. This use is often accompanied by signs of hesitation. The diachronic proposal outlined here can account for the emergence of the filler-estein several varieties of Spanish spoken in Latin America. Overall, this study contributes to our understanding of the syntax of real-time interaction.
The function of lncRNA EMX2OS/miR-653-5p and its regulatory mechanism in lung adenocarcinoma
Authors: Ma Lina , Zhang Lu , Li Lin , Zhao Li
Published: April 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the significance of EMX2OS in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) prognosis and development and its potential molecular mechanism. Paired tissue samples were collected from 117 LUAD patients. The EMX2OS expression level was detected by PCR and correlated with patients’ clinicopathological features by a series of statistical analyses. The function of EMX2OS in cell proliferation and metastasis was evaluated by CCK8 and Transwell assay. In mechanism, the interaction between EMX2OS and miR-653-5p was assessed by the dual-luciferase reporter assay, and the regulatory effect of miR-653-5p on EMX2OS tumor suppressor role was also estimated. Significant downregulation of EMX2OS and its negative correlation with miR-653-5p was observed in LUAD tissues. A significant relationship was revealed in EMX2OS with TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and differentiation of LUAD patients, and associated with the poor prognosis of patients. EMX2OS suppressed the proliferation and metastasis of LUAD cells and negatively regulated the expression of miR-653-5p. The overexpression of miR-653-5p could reverse the inhibitory effect of EMX2OS on LUAD cells. In conclusion, EMX2OS served as a biomarker in LUAD that indicated patients’ prognosis and regulated cellular processes via regulating miR-653-5p.

The Association Between Perceived Relationship Quality and Psychological Symptoms in Refugees
Authors: Kobayashi Hiroko , Berle David
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Relationship quality plays an important role in mental health, but little is known about its importance among resettled refugees. We investigated the association between perceived relationship quality and psychological symptoms among refugees resettled in Australia. Methods: Participants were 738 adult refugees (principal applicants, 83.5% male, M = 43.2 years, SD = 12.3) and their partners who participated in the Building a New Life in Australia (BNLA) study across 5 years from 2013 to 2017. Participants were assessed for psychological distress, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and perceived relationship quality, using the Kessler scale (K6), the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder-8 (PTSD-8), and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale-4 (DAS-4), respectively. Results: Multiple regression analyses found that, among principal applicants, perceived relationship quality predicted psychological distress (p = .0006) at post-arrival, and changes in perceived relationship quality predicted changes in PTSS (p = .0003) across a one-year interval. When partners were analyzed, results were broadly consistent with those of the principal applicants, except that changes in relationship quality did predict changes in psychological distress, but not changes in PTSS. Discussion: Relationship quality appeared to be associated with psychological distress, but improvements in relationship quality may have particular utility for reductions in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. These results highlight the importance of relationship quality as a key correlate of refugee mental health.
Gender Differences in the Association of Trauma Exposure and Firearm Availability Among Active Duty Servicemembers and Military Retirees
Authors: Baker Justin C. , Bryan Craig J. , Evans Ethan S. , Bryan Annabelle O. , May Alexis M. , Harris Julia A.
Published: April 2023

Introduction: This study examines the relationship between traumatic experiences and firearm availability, a known suicide risk factor, for both male and female active duty servicemembers and military retirees in the United States. Availability of firearms was predicted to differ by gender, with male servicemembers having elevated rates of firearm availability compared to female servicemembers. It was also expected that experiences of trauma would be associated with higher availability of firearms in both male and female servicemembers and military retirees. Methods: Survey respondents included 1,869 active-duty and military retiree participants recruited from six different primary care clinics located within various military treatment facilities. Analyses compared associations among trauma exposure, firearm availability, and gender. Results: Both male and female servicemembers and retirees reported elevated rates of firearm availability, with men reporting the highest rates of available firearms. There was a significant interaction between gender and firearm availability on trauma type; men with available firearms reported elevated levels of directly experienced trauma. When controlling for covariates, men with available firearms reported highest levels of “happened to me” trauma exposure for fire and explosion and sudden violent death. Discussion: Men who positively endorse firearm availability have the highest rates of directly experienced traumatic events among active duty military personnel and retirees. Firearm availability, trauma exposure, and perceptions of safety for both genders are discussed.
Responses of Cortical Neurons to Intracortical Microstimulation in Awake Primates
Authors: Yun Richy , Mishler Jonathan H. , Perlmutter Steve I. , Rao Rajesh P. N. , Fetz Eberhard E.
Published: April 2023

Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) is commonly used in many experimental and clinical paradigms; however, its effects on the activation of neurons are still not completely understood. To document the responses of cortical neurons in awake nonhuman primates to stimulation, we recorded single-unit activity while delivering single-pulse stimulation via Utah arrays implanted in primary motor cortex (M1) of three macaque monkeys. Stimuli between 5 and 50 μA delivered to single channels reliably evoked spikes in neurons recorded throughout the array with delays of up to 12 ms. ICMS pulses also induced a period of inhibition lasting up to 150 ms that typically followed the initial excitatory response. Higher current amplitudes led to a greater probability of evoking a spike and extended the duration of inhibition. The likelihood of evoking a spike in a neuron was dependent on the spontaneous firing rate as well as the delay between its most recent spike time and stimulus onset. Tonic repetitive stimulation between 2 and 20 Hz often modulated both the probability of evoking spikes and the duration of inhibition; high-frequency stimulation was more likely to change both responses. On a trial-by-trial basis, whether a stimulus evoked a spike did not affect the subsequent inhibitory response; however, their changes over time were often positively or negatively correlated. Our results document the complex dynamics of cortical neural responses to electrical stimulation that need to be considered when using ICMS for scientific and clinical applications.
Variación en las hablas del occidente de Cantabria: la generalización del uso aorístico del pretérito perfecto compuesto en los contextos prehodiernales
Authors: Peña Arce Jaime
Published: April 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar la extensión del uso aorístico del pretérito perfecto compuesto en contextos prehodiernales en las hablas del occidente de Cantabria, una variedad en la que ―según los datos existentes hasta la fecha― la forma simple era hegemónica con independencia de su valor temporal o aspectual. Para ello, se ha realizado una muestra en tres comunidades de habla de la zona (San Vicente de la Barquera, Cabezón de la Sal y Potes), que ha respetado una serie de variables sociales (sexo, edad y nivel de instrucción de los informantes) y que ha atendido también a dos factores lingüísticos (posición del adjunto temporal de pretérito y aspecto semántico del verbo). Los resultados evidencian que dicho uso aorístico del pretérito perfecto compuesto en los contextos prehodiernales se ha generalizado en esta zona, aunque con mayor lentitud en los rincones más apartados de la influencia de las hablas de la capital regional, Santander, que funcionan como referente de prestigio.

Nevostruev which was completed in the middle of the XIXth century and has never been published can be regarded both as a significant achievement of Church Slavonic studies and a unique lexicographic source. The manuscript can be found in Russian State Library. The manuscript’s conditions predetermined the necessity of complex preliminary research and editorial efforts. The significance of the planned study is in introduction of the text previously almost unavailable to linguists. The manuscript’s orthography and grammar reflecting the linguistic views of that time can be of great interest for those who specialize in the history of linguistic studies. The article contains another part of materiel on “M” letter. The content features of the dictionary’s publishing, the list of sources, the list of abbreviations and symbols are described in detail in the previous editions of the “PSTGU Review” serie “Philology”. Besids, all previous editions and the lists of abbreviations with the list of sources separately can be found on web-site of PSTGU
Reception of the sagas of icelanders in modern icelandic poetry: the poem "Maðr inn skammi" by Hallgrímur Helgason
Authors: Markelova Olga
Published: April 2023

The article deals with the particular case of reception of the "Sagas of Icelanders“ in modern Icelandic poetry. The plot of the poem "Maðr inn skammi“ (The Short Man) by Hallgrímur Helgason is based in the Chapter 66 of Egil's Saga, namely the fight of Egil and Atli the Short. This episode is being detached form the original context of the saga and turns into an allegory of an encounter of an "ordinary person“ with the literary tradition, as it is not Egil himself, that takes part in the encounter, but the Saga of Egil. For a common person, like Atli in the poem, a tragic death is the only chance to get into a significant work of literature. In modern Icelandic poetry such a reception of interaction of a person with a signifiant text of culture is unique, as normally there are psycological motivations of the saga characters' deeds that prevail in modern literature based on Old Icelandic works. Still, Hallgrímur's perception is determined by the significance of the saga texts in modern Icelandic culture.The article is supplied by the translation of the poem into Russian, done specially for this publication.
On the development of imperativeness forms in the language of Church documents of the 18th century (verb forms)
Authors: Sharikhina Miliausha
Published: April 2023

The paper discusses the grammatical means of expressing the imperativeness in the "Instructions for the Elders, or Deanery Overseers", written by Patriarch Adrian in 1697, and in the "Instruction for Dean Priests or Archpriests" in 1775, compiled by Metropolitan Platon Levshin. The second document was created on the basis of the first one, which provides methodological grounds for their comparative linguistic research. The language of the instruction of 1697 is in many respects close to the official language of the 17th century, in particular, to the language of «The Ulozhenie» of 1649. Therefore, common phenomena in the language of both instructions may indicate the influence of the official language of the 17th century to the document of 1775. The language of the instructions under consideration converges in some parameters: the use of the infinitive as the dominant means of expressing obligation and prohibition, the rare appearance in the document of Platon Levshin of modal-infinitive constructions and their absence in the document of Patriarch Adrian, the use of verbs in the subjunctive mood, which in this period are falling into disuse in a simple sentence. The revealed differences between the studied instructions show the dynamics of the grammatical means used to express private meanings within the subfield of the expression of imperativeness. So, in the text of 1775, the following phenomena were noted, which are absent or not characteristic of the text of 1697: the conjunction est’li in conditional clauses, modal-infinitive constructions with the verb nadlezhit, verbs in the subjunctive mood in subordinated clauses. At the same time, the grammatical means used in the instruction of 1775 appeared or became more active in the Petrine era. This may indicate the conservatism of the language of church documentation of the 18th century. But it is more likely that all of the listed linguistic means were formed within the so-called “Petrine pool”, which, according to V. M. Zhivov, “determines the range of linguistic diversity from which during the formation of a new type of Russian literary language in the 18th century there was made a choice which was resulted in the replacement of the plurality of registers by a single standard of the written language".
The origin of similar entries in the biblical parts of the Old Russian Chronographs: stories about the settlement of peoples and Babel’s Tower
Authors: Anisimova Tatiana
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to one of the most difficult and little-studied problems in the historiography of Ancient Russian chronographs: reconstruction of the composition of the biblical part of the so-called Chronograph according to the Greate narrative (Khronograf po velicomu izlozheniju – hereafter KVI) of the 2nd type. Its beginning, replaced in the Troitskii khronograf by the Biblical books fand in Complete and Brief chronographic versions of the Paleya – by Paleya Interpretata, has only recently been correlated with Tikhonravov’s chronograph. The basis for this conclusion was the study of borrowings in the last from the Chronicles of John Malala, which are read in the editorial revision, in the biblical part – similar to the Introductory part of Hellenic Chronograph (Letopisetc Ellinskii) of the 1st and 2nd types and with the so-called Addition to the Paleya, and in the chronographic part – similar to the Troitskii khronograf and Complete and Brief chronographic Paleyas. In this article, other sources are attached to this series of correspondences, namely: a story about the settlement of the descendants of the sons of Noah, chapter 34 from the Izbornik Svyatoslava of 1073, extract from Chronicle of George the Monk (Hamartolus), a story about the size of the Tower of Babel and the "Legend of the Creation of the World" by Epiphanius of Cyprus. Most of the listed common sources of chronographs were included in the biblical part of the non-preserved early chronograph (unlikely called in ancient Russian literature: KVI), which was addressed by the compiler of the KVI of the 2nd kind, apparently using them not only in the main text containing the biblical books, but also in the convoy. The same non-preserved chronograph, regardless of the KVI of the 2nd kind and the Tikhonravov’s chronograph, became one of the sources of the Introductory part of the Letopisetc Ellinskii of both types, Additions to the Paleya, the Introduction and Philosopher's Speech of the Tale of Bygone Years, the Paleya Interpretata and, possibly, the Short chronographic Paleya. The list of common sources of the biblical parts of the listed monuments of Old Russian chronography and chronicles does not end there: a number of biblical apocrypha dating back to the Book of Jubilees, as well as the apocryphal Life of Moses should be added to them. However, this issue is beyond the scope of this article.
HIF 1 ɑ – a promising target for the treatment of meningiomas
Authors: Butta Shristi , Gupta Manoj Kumar
Published: April 2023

Background. Meningiomas are the most frequent tumors of the brain and spinal cord with a potency to recur in around one third of the cases and and invade surrounding tissue. Hypoxia driven factors like HIFs (Hypoxia inducible factors) are implicated in tumor cell growth and proliferation.

Aim. This study aims at determining the association of HIF 1 ɑ with different histopathological grades and types of meningiomas.

Methods. This prospective study was conducted on 35 patients. The patients presented with headache (65.71%), seizures (22.86%) and neurological deficits (11.43%). They underwent surgical excision and surgical tissue samples of these patients were histopathologically processed and microscopically graded and typed. Immunohistochemistry was performed using anti-HIF 1ɑ monoclonal antibody. The nuclear expression of HIF 1 ɑ was graded as <10%: negative, 11-50%: mild to moderate positive, >50%: strong positive.

Results. Of the 35 cases so examined 20% were recurrent; 74.29% were WHO grade I with meningothelial type (22.86%), being the commonest; 57.14 % revealed mild to moderate positivity for HIF 1ɑ, while strong positivity was noted in 28.57%. Significant association was found between WHO grade and HIF 1ɑ (p=0.0015) and between histopathological types and HIF 1ɑ (p=0.0433). Furthermore, HIF 1ɑ was also significantly associated with the recurrent cases (p=0.0172).

Conclusion. HIF 1ɑ appears to be a marker and a promising target for effective therapeutics in meningiomas
Bleeding and thromboembolic risk in patients under anticoagulant therapy receiving oral surgery: a systematic review

Published: April 2023

Background and aims. There is an increasing number of patients with cardiovascular diseases who require anticoagulant treatment to address the underlying disease. Types of anticoagulants include vitamin K  antagonists, such as warfarin and coumarin derivatives, and also newer oral anticoagulants, including rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, and dabigatran. The use of these anticoagulants may impact the condition of patients undergoing oral surgery. If the treatment is discontinued, the patient may be at risk of thrombosis. On the other hand, if the treatment is continued, the patient may experience a postoperative bleeding episode, placing them at risk of both thrombosis and bleeding.

Method. The present article systematically reviews two different therapeutic regimens and their influence on hemorrhagic and thromboembolic events. The review included research from three databases and four specialized journals. The regimens examined were continuous versus discontinuous anticoagulant treatment and continuous versus interruption and switch to bridging therapy.

Results. The most common surgical procedure examined in the review was tooth extraction, with a few studies also including soft tissue procedures. A total of seven eligible articles were identified, with five using the first treatment regimen of continuous versus discontinuous anticoagulant. These studies reported several cases of bleeding under continuous anticoagulant treatment during surgery. Two articles used the second treatment regimen of continuous versus interruption and switch to bridging therapy.

Conclusions. The results of both treatment categories (continuous versus discontinuous anticoagulant and continuous versus interruption and switch to bridging therapy) showed no significant differences in terms of bleeding events. However, the use of scores that assess the risk of thrombosis and bleeding can assist surgeons in anticipating the degree of  ostoperative complications and making informed treatment decisions.
Does “Halalness” Affect Young Muslims’ Intentions to Use the COVID-19 Vaccine?

Published: April 2023

Young Muslims comprise a large population in Indonesia. This study analyzes the effect of halal awareness, halal certification, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavior controls and vaccine quality on young Muslims’ intentions to use the COVID-19 vaccine. This study involved 699 random respondents from 32 provinces in Indonesia. This research model develops Theory Planned Behavior (TPB) using structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) data processing tools. The results showed that halal awareness and certificates had a P-value of <0.05 or positively affected Muslims’ attitude towards vaccines. Likewise, halal awareness, attitudes, subjective norms and vaccine quality have a P-value of <0.05 and perceived behavior control has a P-value of <0.10 or positively affects Muslims’ intentions to use vaccines. However, halal certification has a P-value of >0.10 or does not affect their intention to use vaccines. Islamic values remain a consideration for young Muslims in using the COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, the government needs to include halal aspects in determining policies related to the implementation of vaccinations.
