Objective: This study aims to examine the epistemology of knowledge by bridging Western and Islamic thought, and analyze the potential integration of these perspectives in the development of knowledge. The main objective of this research is to understand how epistemology is viewed within the contexts of Western and Islamic thought and explore the possibility of a more holistic integration between them. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework of this research is based on classical Western epistemology, which emphasizes reason and empiricism, compared to Islamic epistemology which emphasizes revelation, intellect, and experience in understanding truth. These two theories are analyzed to identify fundamental similarities and differences in the formation of knowledge. Literature Review: The literature review covers studies on epistemology in Western philosophy, including thinkers such as Descartes, Kant, and Dewey, as well as epistemological perspectives in Islamic tradition through the thoughts of Al-Ghazali, Ibn Sina, and Al-Farabi. The review also examines recent studies on the dialogue between Western and Islamic knowledge systems, focusing on efforts to integrate these two systems of knowledge. Methods: The research method used is a qualitative approach with a comparative analysis. Data is collected through literature studies that discuss Western and Islamic epistemological perspectives, as well as previous research relevant to the theme of this study. Results: The results of the study show that there are fundamental similarities in the pursuit of knowledge between the two perspectives, although there are differences in reasoning approaches and ontological foundations. Implications: The implications of this research highlight the need for an interdisciplinary approach in education and the development of knowledge that accommodates both perspectives. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the development of the concept of integrating Western and Islamic epistemology, which has not been widely explored in previous studies.

Analysis of microbial diversity in pesticide-contaminated soil: A study of culturable microorganisms
Authors: Lamuka Andre Putra , Aliwu Putri Liani
Published: February 2025

Background: Pesticide contamination of soil often leads to significant alterations in the structure and diversity of microbial communities, potentially affecting overall ecosystem function. Understanding these changes is crucial for assessing the ecological impact of pesticide use in agricultural areas. This study analyzes microbial diversity in pesticide-contaminated soil using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index to evaluate the effects of pesticide exposure on microbial populations. Methods: A descriptive quantitative approach was used, incorporating the Total Plate Count (TPC) test and Shannon-Wiener Index analysis. The numerical data included the number of microbial individuals (bacteria and fungi) and the relative proportion of each group. Soil samples were purposively collected from three points in a pesticide-contaminated tomato farming area in Dunggala Village, Gorontalo Regency. Findings: The microbial community detected in the contaminated soil consisted of bacteria (2.5 × 10⁴ CFU/ml) and fungi (1.35 × 10³ CFU/ml). The Shannon-Wiener index value was 0.202, indicating low microbial diversity. This suggests that pesticide contamination negatively impacts microbial richness and evenness in the soil. Conclusion: Pesticide contamination significantly reduces microbial diversity, as reflected in the low Shannon-Wiener index value. This decline in microbial richness and evenness highlights the potential ecological consequences of pesticide use in agriculture. To mitigate these negative effects, implementing sustainable pest management practices, such as the use of biopesticides, is recommended. Novelty/Originality og this article: This study provides quantitative evidence of the decline in microbial diversity in pesticide-contaminated soil using the Shannon-Wiener index. By focusing on microbial community changes in a specific agricultural setting, the findings contribute to a better understanding of the ecological impacts of pesticide use and emphasize the need for sustainable pest management strategies.

SALAFISME DI INDONESIA
Authors: Ananda Rifki Abror , Khamdan Muh. , Ahmad Khoirul Fata
Published: February 2025

This research examines the dynamics of the Salafism movement in Indonesia. Built on the doctrine of Islamic purification, Salafism has evolved into political and social movements with various forms, such as puritan Salafi, haraki, and jihadi. The study highlights the development of the Salafi movement in Indonesia and its contestation with mainstream Islamic groups such as NU and Muhammadiyah. Using critical discourse analysis, the study explores how the identity and religiosity of the Salafi movement are constructed. It reveals the strategic use of social media by Salafi groups to disseminate their teachings. Social media has become an effective tool for attracting followers, particularly among youth and celebrities involved in the hijrah movement. Despite criticism for being overly textualist and conservative, the Salafi’s religious identity is strongly established through distinct symbols of clothing and rituals. This has led to ideological contestation with mainstream Islamic movements that predate their existence in Indonesia.
KEKUASAAN SEBAGAI FASILITAS BAGI KORUPTOR
Authors: Usman
Published: February 2025

Setiap kejahatan tentu memiliki konsekuensi terburuk lebih khususnya korupsi, semakin masifnya tindakan korupsi maka akan semakin besar pula dampak yang ditimbulkan. Perubahan model dan bentuk korupsi dapat mengakibatkan runtuhnya konstruksi supremasi hukum, terlebih yang melakukan tindak pidana korupsi adalah penguasa yang eksklusif dan pengambilan keputusan yang otoriter, serta tidak adanya akuntabilitas dalam pelaksanaan korupsi. Kekuasaan menyebabkan maraknya para koruptor, terjadinya penyelewengan anggaran tentu berkaitan dengan sifat menguasai, pemimpin yang diskresi dan tidak memiliki akuntabilitas. demikian pula dengan kekuasaan yang menganut sistem sentralisasi maupun sistem desentralisasi, maka tindak pidana korupsi akan beradaptasi dengan sistem kekuasaan tersebut. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya perpindahan kekuasaan dari sistem kepemimpinan yang terpusat ke sistem kedaerahan, sehingga penyakit korupsi selalu menyesuaikan diri dengan perpindahan kekuasaan dari sistem sentralisasi ke sistem desentralisasi. Oleh karena demikian, penumpasan tindak pidana korupsi tidak terbatas sampai pada implementasi peraturan perundang-undangan, pada penalaran hukum dan pengambilan keputusan hukum, atau pada perdebatan penafsiran para ahli hukum, namun harus dilakukan pada tataran politik bisnis. Adapun tujuan daripada penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh kekuasaan terhadap peningkatan tindak pidana korupsi. Penelitian ini, merupakan bentuk penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan pustaka yang menggunakan berbagai sumber literatur sebagai referensi dalam mengumpulkan data penelitian. Kekuasaan menurut perspektif korupsi ibarat mata uang yang dapat dilihat dari dua sisi tetapi masih satu kerangka, ditengah menjalankan kekuasaan, korupsi seringkali menyertai sistem yang diselewengkan oleh otoritas penguasa, kekuasaan pula dapat menjadi cikal-bakal munculnya korupsi. Selain itu, korupsi dapat juga dikaitkan dengan kekuasaan otoriter atau absolut yang dapat menciptakan pejabat-pejabat yang zalim dan korupsi yang tidak sesuai dengan harapan masyarakat.

Comparison of laparoscopic, vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy outcomes in obese patients: A retrospective analysis
Authors: Gülen Özge Nur , Özdemir Ayşe , Yalçin Emre
Published: February 2025

Aim: Obesity is a chronic condition that is increasingly prevalent globally and poses significant risks in the context of surgical procedures. Hysterectomy is among the most commonly performed surgeries in the field of gynecology. However, there is a paucity of studies in the existing literature that compare the various hysterectomy techniques in obese women. Consequently, this study aimed to elucidate the advantages and disadvantages of abdominal, laparoscopic, and vaginal hysterectomies performed on obese patients at our institution.
Material and Method: This study is a retrospective cohort analysis involving 100 patients with a body mass index exceeding 30 kg/m² who underwent hysterectomy for benign indications at the Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Gynecology, between 2016 and 2020. Among these patients, 40 underwent abdominal hysterectomy, 42 underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy, and 18 underwent vaginal hysterectomy. The intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of the 100 patients who underwent hysterectomy using these three different surgical techniques were compared.
Results: Laparoscopy emerged as the surgical method associated with the lowest risk of postoperative wound infection and minimal blood loss. However, it is important to note that laparoscopic hysterectomy incurs higher costs and requires a longer operative time compared to other surgical approaches. Conversely, vaginal hysterectomy is characterized by the shortest hospital stay, the least requirement for postoperative intensive care, and the lowest overall cost. Notably, the highest blood loss was observed in patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy. In terms of operative duration, abdominal hysterectomy was identified as the most efficient approach.
Conclusion: For obese patients, less invasive hysterectomy techniques, vaginal and laparoscopic methods, may enhance postoperative outcomes.

Investigation of HIF1A gene polymorphisms in patients with allergic rhinitis
Authors: Yaşar Bünyamin , Günizi Hüseyin , Demir Ekşi Durkadın
Published: February 2025

Aim:
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to environmental allergens. In Türkiye, AR prevalence ranges between 11.8% and 36.4%. The Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1 Subunit Alpha (HIF1A) gene plays a significant role in hypoxia and inflammation-related pathways, and its polymorphisms have been associated with various inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association of C1772T and C111A polymorphisms in the HIF1A gene with AR.
Material and Methods:
The study included 100 AR patients and 100 healthy controls. Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) analyses were performed using PCR-RFLP and validated by Sanger sequencing. Serum total IgE levels were measured, and patients were classified based on disease severity and duration. Genotype findings were compared with patients' clinical features.
Results:
The C111A SNP was non-polymorphic in both groups, as all individuals had the wild-type CC genotype. The C1772T SNP showed no significant differences in genotype or allele frequencies between patients and controls. Similarly, no significant associations were observed in patient subgroups stratified by disease severity, frequency, or serum IgE levels.
Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that these two polymorphisms in the HIF1A gene are not associated with AR development in the Turkish population. However, the literature indicates that HIF1A mRNA and protein levels affect AR. Results may vary due to genetic and environmental factors. Further studies investigating alternative polymorphisms in the HIF1A gene and its expression levels are needed to better understand the relationship between AR and HIF1A.

Published: February 2025

Entomophagy (insect eating) is an age long practice by man all over the world. The nutritive values of insects are affected by many factors including processing methods. Grasshopper is one of the edible insects in Nigeria. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of processing methods on the nutritive value of adult variegated grasshopper, Zonocerus variegatus. The grasshoppers were collected from an uncultivated farmland, washed, degutted and processed in three ways namely; boiling, roasting and frying. Processed Z. variegatus were analyzed for their proximate, minerals, vitamins and anti-nutrient profile. The data obtained were analyzed by One Way Analysis of variance and means separation was done by Duncan Multiple Range Test. The roasted grasshoppers were found to have the highest value of protein (41.54%) while the boiled insects recorded the least value (18.12%). The roasted also had the highest crude fibre (8.38%), while the raw had the least value (5.04%). The highest crude fat (37.11%) was found in the fried grasshoppers while the boiled had the least crude fat (1.59%). The fried grasshoppers recorded highest value of carbohydrate (3.43%). The roasted insects had the highest values in all the eleven minerals analyzed. Lead and Nickel were not detected in all the samples. Potassium was the highest across all processing methods, ranging from 88.01- 465.99 mg/100g while manganese was the least (0.44-1.46 mg/100g). Vitamins A, E, B2, B6 and B12 were also examined. The values for all these were highest in the roasted with 0.45, 0.48, 0.013, 0.99, and 2.63 respectively. The boiled grasshoppers had the least values in all the parameter examined except in Vitamin B6 where it had a higher value of 0.84) than the fried (0.79) and raw (0.67). Tannin was highest in the fried grasshopper (4.51) and the least in raw grasshoppers (1.29). It can therefore be concluded that processing methods significantly affected the nutritive value of Z. variegatus.

Authors: Ramírez Sánchez Rubén Darío , Chávez Jiménez Daniar
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo es una reflexión sobre la forma en que fueron fundadas las Universidades para el Bienestar Benito Juárez García a partir de 2019 por el expresidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024). El objetivo del trabajo consiste en analizar los fundamentos básicos que sirvieron de base para su institucionalización. Para realizar el ejercicio se utiliza una estrategia cualitativa, mediante el análisis de documentos oficiales y estudios hemerográficos, cuyos insumos permitieron reflexionar la emergencia y la complejidad que ha presentado la expansión y el desarrollo de esta institución; donde encontramos fuertes deficiencias en el modelo que prometió masificar el derecho a la educación y en vez de ello conservó un modelo educativo muy similar a los anteriores, que mantiene una estructura centralista, malas condiciones laborales y muchas limitaciones estructurales, mismas que han despertado desde protestas estudiantiles y docentes, hasta críticas de especialistas de la educación y de la opinión pública sobre la falta en el cumplimiento de sus objetivos principales.

Authors: Portillo Ríos Rixio Gerardo
Published: February 2025

El discurso periodístico tiene implicaciones en la descripción y narración de los acontecimientos, sobre todo de frente a grandes conflictos. La situación de Venezuela en el 2018, significó un desafío social de grandes proporciones para todo el continente, planteando la necesidad de saber si fue una crisis o una emergencia humanitaria, comprendiendo que la diferencia de los términos radica en la presencia de víctimas civiles en medio de un enfrentamiento bélico. El estudio analizó la narrativa de L’Osservatore Romano sobre la crisis venezolana, a través de un abordaje con diseño transeccional y cuantitativo, con un muestreo intensivo conformado por 47 ediciones del periódico del Vaticano, publicadas durante el año 2018. Las categorías de estudios fueron: condiciones políticas, de alimentación, sanitarias y de movilidad humana. Los resultados permiten afirmar que la Santa Sede adoptó el término de crisis humanitaria e hizo énfasis en el fenómeno migratorio desde las víctimas menores de edad, tanto en sus recursos literarios y fotográficos.

Authors: Castillo Lascano Hugo Ramiro , Aguado Cortes César
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo cualitativo examina cómo las redes sociales afectan la identidad cultural en la era digital, destacando su rol como espacios de interacción que no solo reflejan sino también transforman prácticas culturales. Las redes sociales han facilitado un terreno fértil para la investigación sobre el impacto de estas plataformas en la identidad cultural, especialmente en comunidades rurales y migrantes, donde influyen en la autoexpresión y en la negociación de la identidad cultural. Para analizar esta relación, se utilizó el método PRISMA, revisando artículos académicos publicados entre 2019 y 2023 en bases de datos reconocidas, aplicando un análisis bibliométrico para identificar patrones en temas clave. Los resultados muestran que las redes sociales promueven la adaptación cultural y la creación de normas en un entorno globalizado, reflejando un fenómeno donde jóvenes y migrantes integran y adaptan valores individuales y colectivos. Estos espacios digitales permiten la experimentación y la consolidación de nuevas prácticas culturales, subrayando su impacto en la reconfiguración de la identidad cultural contemporánea.
