Published: February 2023

Background: Social media is often used for health communication and can facilitate fast information exchange. Despite its increasing use, little is known about child health information sharing and engagement over social media.

Objective: The primary objectives of this study are to systematically describe the content of social media posts about child pain and sleep and identify the level of research evidence in these posts. The secondary objective is to examine user engagement with information shared over social media.

Methods: Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook were searched by members of the research team over a 2-week period using a comprehensive search strategy. Codes were used to categorize the content of posts to identify the frequency of content categories shared over social media platforms. Posts were evaluated by content experts to determine the frequency of posts consistent with existing research evidence. User engagement was analyzed using Netlytic, a social network analysis program, to examine visual networks illustrating the level of user engagement.

Results: From the 2-week period, nearly 1500 pain-related and 3800 sleep-related posts were identified and analyzed. Twitter was used most often to share knowledge about child pain (639/1133, 56.40% of posts), and personal experiences for child sleep (2255/3008, 75.00% of posts). For both topics, Instagram posts shared personal experiences (53/68, 78% pain; 413/478, 86.4% sleep), Facebook group posts shared personal experiences (30/49, 61% pain; 230/345, 66.7% sleep) and Facebook pages shared knowledge (68/198, 34.3% pain; 452/1026, 44.05% sleep). Across platforms, research evidence was shared in 21.96% (318/1448) of pain- and 9.16% (445/4857) of sleep-related posts; 5.38% (61/1133) of all pain posts and 2.82% (85/3008) of all sleep posts shared information inconsistent with the evidence, while the rest were absent of evidence. User interactions were indirect, with mostly one-way, rather than reciprocal conversations.

Conclusions: Social media is commonly used to discuss child health, yet the majority of posts do not contain research evidence, and user engagement is primarily one-way. These findings represent an opportunity to expand engagement through open conversations with credible sources. Research and health care communities can benefit from incorporating specific information about evidence within social media posts to improve communication with the public and empower users to distinguish evidence-based content better. Together, these findings have identified potential gaps in social media communication that may be informative targets to guide future strategies for improving the translation of child health evidence over social media.

Authors: Yusuf Moh. Asror
Published: February 2023

Kajian Islam di Indonesia dihadapkan pada tantangan bukan sekadar untuk penanaman doktrin tapi juga pengembangan ilmu dan kontribusinya bagi penyelesaian persoalan kemas-yarakatan. Beberapa upaya telah dilakukan untuk penguatan kajian Islam baik dalam ranah normatif maupun historis, diantaranya adalah dengan mengembangkan materi dan pendekatan dalam kajian Islam. Sebagai bagian dari itu, kajian Islam di tingkat mahasiswa juga perlu dikembangkan, karena mahasiswa adalah subjek sekaligus objek dari pelaksanaan pendidikan tinggi. Tulisan ini bermaksud memahami dan menjelaskan tema-tema kajian dan pendekatan yang dilakukan dalam penelitian (skripsi) mahasiswa Ushuluddin STAIN Kediri Prodi Perbandingan Agama dan Tafsir Hadits. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kajian mahasiswa bukan sekadar kajian normatif, tapi sudah banyak yang historis-empiris. Kajian yang mereka lakukan sudah mencoba untuk mendialogkan antara ajaran normatif dengan kenyataan sosial-historis dan keberagamaan masyarakat. Kecen-derungan kajian yang semakin historis-empiris ini tampaknya terkait erat dengan upaya pengembangan tema-tema kajian yang bersifat lapangan, dan penguatan materi dan metodologi lintas disiplin, yang selama ini dilakukan.

Comparison of Shahrur's Hermeneutics and Salaf Tafsir
Authors: Muhammad Faisal Hamdani
Published: February 2023

This study aims are to find out comparison of shahrur's hermeneutics and salaf tafsir. The methodology of the interpretation of Shahrur and the Salaf Ulama will be seen as well as some of the results of Islamic law that were born from this methodology. The result of this study shows that Shahrur is one of the Muslim thinkers who tries to make a breakthrough for this new understanding with all his weaknesses and strengths, more or less he is able to open our doors or eyes to see other things (possibilities of other meanings) beyond the reality that exists in the traditions of the salaf manhaj which is considered by most people as something that has been established and seems undeniable or unthinkable, the corpus is closed in Arkoun's view. Shahrur has tried to declare that al-Quran, al-Kitab, al-Furqan are not the same (have different meanings), based on the context of modern science which turns out that there is no synonym in language (basically all words are different). As a result, the terms al-Zikr, Tanzil, Tartil, Thab'u al-Mathani, Muhkam, Mutashabih and others were also reconstructed by Shahrur with a different linguistic analysis than before. The offer of this thought is legitimate especially since the Prophet Muhammad himself did not define the terms clearly and consistently. From his book we can see the differences in the methodology of the interpretation of Shahrur and the Salaf both in terms of epistemology, paradigm and the side of the knowledge used to interpret. From an epistemological point of view, Shahrur prefers to use sources of interpretation, namely reason, reality and human scholarship in today's century in dialogue with the Qur’an, which is different from the salaf who stick to the interpretation of the Prophet and his companions (the early recipients of the Qur’an). As a result, Shahrur differs in defining the terms of the Qur’an with the salaf such as the terms of the Qur’an, al-Kitab, al-Furqan and others.

Authors: Kamal ASM Maksud , Hassan SM Kamrul , Muhammad Ahsan Abu Hossain , Ahmed Nazma
Published: February 2023

This research aims to critically analyze the manifestation of accountability issues in disaster related major policies of Bangladesh as well as its field level implications. For that purpose, five major policies related to the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) of Bangladesh have been meticulously selected and analyzed. Critical analysis of the policy contents with regard to a model accountability framework has been principally adopted to derive the insights. Key Informant Interview (KII) with experts in the relevant fields has been considered for empirical data collection on accountability practices. The findings reveal existence of well-articulated accountability principles implanted into the policy dictates alongside weak institutional arrangements and governance mechanism to implement them at the empirical level. However, the remarkable progress of Bangladesh in disaster risk management against the partially dysfunctional accountability framework seemingly takes place by reaping benefits from indigenous knowledge and community based adaptive practices. The policy makers need to better understand the institutional mechanisms as well as the community level practices for DRR and finally mainstream them in the policy making process. The findings will potentially serve as a standard assessment of the current status of disaster risk governance in Bangladesh.

Comparison between Local and Global Methods to Develop AQI in Representing the Spatial Pattern of Air Quality of Dhaka City
Authors: Ahmed Asib , Bin Ali Al Artat , Mahboob Maisha , Humaira Fayeeza
Published: February 2023

An Air Quality Index (AQI) is a means of evaluating air quality in respect to the relation between air quality and the entire environment of an area. The main objective of the study was to compare the development of AQI using global methods and local methods to identify which could represent the more significant pattern from a spatial perspective in Dhaka city (DNCC and DSCC). The pollutants used in this study are CO, NO2, SO2, O3, CH4, CO2, PM2.5 and PM10. For the global AQI, indexing was performed using the guidelines in ‘Technical Assistance Document for the Reporting of Daily Air Quality – the Air Quality Index’ by USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency). This method identified and mapped the most responsible pollutant that represents the pollution pattern of the area. For local AQI, an overlay method was developed where all the relevant pollutants were weighed according to their significance and summed; their weights calculated using a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Component analysis could find a better-correlated variable to represent the distribution from all the variables, deeming it a good feature-selecting tool. The result from this study suggests that the local AQI better represents the air quality of the study corresponding to certain real scenarios. Mapping the pollution has helped in validating the spatial pattern of the pollutants. Such methods, which include all the variables influencing the atmospheric dynamics, could establish a better pattern for the local environment. The temporal background of the factors could be considered as situations may change over time. For air quality, this could be performed with any variables apart from atmospheric constituents and can be even replicated for any component of the environment, which may help in comprehending the local environmental quality. The study would be useful to devise a proper system to develop AQI considering all the spatial and temporal effects.

Published: February 2023

Several studies from Indonesia reveal that malnutrition and stunting are still severe concerns to be addressed in the future. The complexity of the problem of stunting or nutritional status requires the responsibility of all parties, including science and technology. The issue of monitoring and data collection related to stunting or the nutritional status of children in Indonesia, especially Medan City, North Sumatra Province, is an essential factor in determining the calculations carried out by each Community Health Center with many attributes. Currently, the Support Vector Machine method is a solution to increase government intervention's effectiveness in classifying malnutrition and stunting. However, the Support Vector Machine algorithm still needs to improve, namely the difficulty of selecting the right and optimal features for the attribute weights, causing a low prediction accuracy. Therefore, researchers aim to optimize the Support Vector Machine Algorithm with Particle Swarm Optimization using Linear, Polynomial, Sigmoid, and Radial Basic Function kernels. The results were obtained from research utilizing nutritional status data, that performance in improving the Support Vector Machine algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization using four kernel tests, namely Linear, Polynomial, Sigmoid, and Radial Basic Function obtained different results, not all kernels in this study can improve accuracy well. The best performance is using the Radial Basic Function kernel with an Accuracy value of 78%, Precision of 89%, Recall of 66%, and F1-Score of 72%, so it is feasible for accurate information regarding the classification of nutritional status.

Authors: Wijaya Anas Fadli , Destiawan Rian Anggia , Cahyariza Nosa Ika
Published: February 2023

Candidiasis is an acute and subacute fungal infection caused by the Candida group, especially Candida albicans. Infectious diseases due to microbes can be treated using modern drugs, namely antifungals. In some cases, antimicrobials often develop resistance due to improper administration. The occurrence of such resistance encourages further research on new active ingredients that can be used as antimicrobial alternatives, especially from plant sources containing flavonoids. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of antimicrobial content of ethanol extract 70% of Telang flowers on the growth of C. albicans. This research is a laboratory experimental research with post test control group design only method. Determination of antimicrobial activity is carried out by the pitting method. Telang flower extract that has been diluted with 10% DMSO, taken as much as 30µl then dripped into the well. Positive control using antimicrobial ketocenazole and negative control using DMSO 10% which was dripped on the well as much as 30µl. Based on the results of observations, the inhibition zone is only formed in positive control with an average of 15.5 + 0.4 mm. The results of ethanol extract of 70% Telang flowers that have been conducted did not show antimicrobial activity against fungal growth C. albicans. The absence of this inhibitory zone is due to the unknown concentration of active compounds of Telang flowers that are responsible as antimicrobials, so it is necessary to conduct research on the search for concentrations of active compounds that have the ability as antimicrobials.

Authors: Roessler Vergara Pablo Ignacio , Lobos Guerrero Constanza Camila , Rojas Pedemonte Nicolás , Rivera Rojas Francisco
Published: February 2023

This article presents an exercise whose objective is to measure the quality of the daily relationships experienced by the migrant population in Chile, based on the 2019 Voces Migrantes survey, which is representative at a national level. From an intercultural perspective, a statistical index of relational inclusion (INIR, for its acronym in Spanish) is proposed that addresses three dimensions: settling in Chile, coexisting with the receiving society, and the presence of support networks. The main results show three fundamental elements for the experiences of inclusion of migrants in Chilean society: projected time in the receiving country, having experienced discrimination, and having local support networks. It also highlights the prevalence of low INIR scores among migrants without residence permits and those born in Haiti. This index was developed from an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis that presents important strengths and elements to be adjusted in future studies.
CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL STATUS OF THE PARLIAMENTARY OMBUDSMAN FOR ADMINISTRATION IN NORWAY
Authors:   GIMO MFA of Russia, Moscow, Russia, RAKITSKAYA INNA , PAVLOV EVGENII
Published: February 2023

The purpose of the research. A parliamentary ombudsman which exists in the constitutional mechanism of many modern states performs two main functions: to exercise control over the legality of the activities of the public administration and to consider individual complaints related to the violation of human rights and freedoms. The office of parliamentary ombudsman for administration (civil ombudsman) was founded in Norway in 1962, ten years after the foundation of the position of the military ombudsman. The present article is devoted to the analysis of the legal status of the Norwegian parliamentary civil ombudsman, the procedure for appointing, the functions and powers of the civil ombudsman, the procedure for considering of the incoming complaints. The authors pay special attention to such element of the status of the parliamentary civil ombudsman as a national preventive mechanism. The article was written on the basis of an analysis of the new Act on the Parliamentary Ombudsman for Control of Administration dd. June 18, 2021, which introduced a number of changes to the status and procedure for exercising powers by the civil ombudsman. The results: The new Act changes the title of the position. Now it is officially referred to as the parliamentary ombudsman for control of the administration. The word "control" which appeared in the title of the position emphasizes the strengthening of the protective function of the Norwegian civil ombudsman, as well as the expansion of his/her powers to supervise the activities of public bodies and officials. The current legislation simultaneously considers the parliamentary civil ombudsman as a national preventive mechanism, which is entitled to issue recommendations in order to improve the treatment and conditions of detention of persons deprived of their liberty, as well as to prevent torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Despite the rather broad powers of the Norwegian parliamentary civil ombudsman, unlike the parliamentary ombudsmen of some other countries, he/she does not have the legally enshrined right to initiate changes to the current legislation to fill in the gaps or improve it in order to more fully regulate the mechanisms for protecting the human rights and freedoms. The analysis of statistical data indicates a trend towards an increase in the number of applications to the parliamentary civil ombudsman in recent years. This fact shows not only an increase in cases of violations of human rights by the authorities and officials during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also, in general, an increase citizens’ confidence in this national mechanism for protecting fundamental human rights an freedoms. The adoption of the new Act also reflects the desire of the Norwegian members of parliament to improve the model of the civil ombudsman in order to ensure its efficiency.

Role of Technostress in Job Satisfaction and Work Engagement in People Working with Information and Communication Technologies
Authors: Kot Pawel
Published: February 2023

Today's working environment becomes very stressful due to the rapidly changing information and communication technologies (ICT) used in the work process. As part of this survey, measures were taken to verify the relationship between technostress creators and technostress inhibitors, and job satisfaction and work engagement of employees. To this end, 354 employees using ICT at work were surveyed. Polish versions of the following scales were used in the survey namely Technostress Creators and Technostress Inhibitors Scale (Kot, 2022), Job Satisfaction Scale (Zalewska, 2003) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (Schaufeli et al., 2006). The survey used the method of Structural Equation Modelling to find the relation between the analyzed variables: Technostress creators, Technostress inhibitors and job satisfaction and work engagement. The results have revealed a relation between technostress creators and technostress inhibitors. Additionally, these variables turned out to be important for shaping job satisfaction, and ultimately also for explaining employee work engagement. Technostress may have a negative effect on employee satisfaction and work engagement, so action should be taken to reduce technostress creators in the workplace and to support technostress inhibitors.
Impact of Instagram Usage on Young Women’s Body Esteem: Mediating Role of Beauty Perception
Authors: Mahmood Sara , Malik Farah
Published: February 2023

This study investigated the effect of instagram usage on body esteem; whereas beauty perception was taken as a mediator between instagram usage and body esteem in young women. It was hypothesized that instagram usage, beauty perception and body esteem would be positively related. It was further hypothesized that beauty perception would mediate the relationship between instagram usage and body esteem. A sample of 210 young women aged 19-24 years was collected through purposive sampling technique from universities and colleges of Lahore. Instagram Intensity Scale (Trifiro, 2018), Broad Conceptualization of Beauty Scale (Tylka & Iannantuono, 2016) and Body Esteem Scale (Mendelson et al., 2001) were administered. All the scales showed satisfactory reliabilities ranging from .74 to .92. The result of Pearson Product Moment showed that beauty perception had significant positive relationship with body mass index. Mediation through analysis of moment structures revealed that beauty perception did not intervene the relationship between instagram usage and body esteem, implying a direct only non-mediation where instagram usage had direct influence on body esteem. Additionally, one-sample t-test results revealed that there were differences in young women regarding instagram usage, beauty perception, self-worth and body esteem. The findings were discussed in the light of existing literature and Pakistani sociocultural context.

The present study aimed to examine the vital role of Machiavellianism and emotion regulation in bullying among university students. The study also intended to determine the differences between men and women students, BS and MPhil students. The age range of the sample was 18-29 years old. Two-Dimension Machiavellianism Scale (Monaghan et al., 2019), Emotion Regulation Scale (Gross & John, 2003) and Forms of Bullying Scale (Shaw et al., 2013) were administered on 300 students (170 men and 130 women) from different universities of Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to measure Machiavellianism, emotion regulation and bullying. The results revealed significant negative relationship between emotion regulation subscales cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression and bullying; while, results showed nonsignificant positive relationship between Machiavellianism, emotion regulation subscales (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) and bullying. The results also showed nonsignificant moderating role of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression between Machiavellianism and bullying. Furthermore, the results revealed that the male students scored higher on Machiavellianism, expressive suppression, and bullying than female university students, while female students use more cognitive reappraisal strategy as compared to male students. Moreover, the results also showed differences based on age and education among university students. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research were also discussed.

In this study, we have proposed and analyzed a new COVID-19 and syphilis co-infection mathematical model with 10 distinct classes of the human population (COVID-19 protected, syphilis protected, susceptible, COVID-19 infected, COVID-19 isolated with treatment, syphilis asymptomatic infected, syphilis symptomatic infected, syphilis treated, COVID-19 and syphilis co-infected, and COVID-19 and syphilis treated) that describes COVID-19 and syphilis co-dynamics. We have calculated all the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points of single infection and co-infection models. The basic reproduction numbers of COVID-19, syphilis, and COVID-19 and syphilis co-infection models were determined. The results of the model analyses show that the COVID-19 and syphilis co-infection spread is under control whenever its basic reproduction number is less than unity. Moreover, whenever the co-infection basic reproduction number is greater than unity, COVID-19 and syphilis co-infection propagates throughout the community. The numerical simulations performed by MATLAB code using the ode45 solver justified the qualitative results of the proposed model. Moreover, both the qualitative and numerical analysis findings of the study have shown that protections and treatments have fundamental effects on COVID-19 and syphilis co-dynamic disease transmission prevention and control in the community.
Return on NFTs

Published: February 2023

Currently, the best known applications of blockchain technology are finance and art. In particular, the blockchain art market, born in early 2018 without fuss, went parabolic around 2021, also thanks to record-breaking sales of digital artworks associated with a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), mediated by the grand dames of auction houses Christie’s and Sotheby’s. In this contribution we merge art and finance on blockchain and explore the opportunity of buying blockchain art as a financial investment. While there exists a relatively large literature on traditional art as investment, the topic of investing in NFTs is still in its infancy. Thus, we provide methods (metrics) and tools (a Web app) to reason about opportunities, in terms of risks and returns, of investing in art on chain.

The identification of genes associated with human pancreatic beta cell maturation could stimulate a better understanding of normal human islet development and function, be informative for improving stem cell-derived islet (SC-islet) differentiation, and facilitate the sorting of more mature beta cells from a pool of differentiated cells. While several candidate factors to mark beta cell maturation have been identified, much of the data supporting these markers come from animal models or differentiated SC-islets. One such marker is Urocortin-3 (UCN3). In this study, we provide evidence that UCN3 is expressed in human fetal islets well before the acquisition of functional maturation. When SC-islets expressing significant levels of UCN3 were generated, the cells did not exhibit glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, indicating that UCN3 expression is not correlated with functional maturation in these cells. We utilized our tissue bank and SC-islet resources to test an array of other candidate maturation-associated genes, and identified CHGB, G6PC2, FAM159B, GLUT1, IAPP and ENTPD3 as markers with expression patterns that correlate developmentally with the onset of functional maturation in human beta cells. We also find that human beta cell expression of ERO1LB, HDAC9, KLF9, and ZNT8 does not change between fetal and adult stages.
