Major Trends in the Study of Malay Statecraft since 1900
Authors: Sulkafle Mohamad Hazizie
Published: January 2024

This study aims to make a comprehensive survey on the existing literature related to Malay statecraft (ketatanegaraan) and the relevant studies that have been conducted and published in Malaya (then Malaysia) since 1900. Statecraft is related to the legitimacy and the idea and concept of the sovereignty of the ruler as understood and practised within the Malay society. Through this historiographical survey, this study has identified several major trends or approaches adopted by scholars in studying Malay statecraft. Among the trends that have been identified is studying Malay statecraft based on the specific genre of “Mirrors for Princes” literature. This trend was later expanded by studying the elements of statecraft that existed in Malay historical narratives, hikayat (folktale) and legal texts. These scholars have significantly contributed to enrich the materials in this field and were able to establish Malay statecraft studies as a distinguished field of study. Regardless, it has been identified that several aspects need to be improved and focused on by scholars to further widen the scopes and strengthen Malay statecraft studies. Hence, this study calls for the redefinition of scopes and frameworks for Malay statecraft studies to ensure its sustainability and relevancy in the contemporary era.
The Transformation of Islamic Studies: An Ethical and Methodological Analysis
Authors: Ali Mohd Mumtaz
Published: January 2024

The field of Islamic Studies, like any other discipline, necessitates ongoing research and refinement. However, the nature of this research- whether theoretical, empirical, or a combination of both- remains a critical question. This inquiry prompts a reconsideration of Islamic Studies, prompting a re-evaluation of its scope and methodological foundations. Historically rooted in a limited perspective that framed Islam solely as a religious phenomenon, this paper contends that such a narrow conception fails to capture the comprehensive essence of Islam, as portrayed in the Qur’an. Islam, according to the Qur’an, is a holistic worldview encompassing a way of life, a source of values, morals, laws, and universal principles crucial for cultural and civilisational development. The argument presented herein posits that the scope of Islamic Studies must transcend the confines of traditional religious studies. Instead, it advocates for a paradigm shift towards a more comprehensive examination that includes issues related to worldview, way of life, culture, and civilisation. This paper asserts the imperative need for a transformative approach in Islamic Studies, advocating for a broader research program that addresses the multifaceted dimensions of Islam. Utilising a qualitative method of content analysis, this paper aims to explore and analyse the scope and objectives of Islamic Studies, identifying research problems that extend beyond conventional religious frameworks. Ultimately, the paper seeks to situate Islamic Studies within a broader cultural and civilisational context, emphasising its role in fostering human and social development.
In Awe of the Holy City: Mecca in the Eyes of Five Medieval Travellers
Authors: Pratama Aditya , Alwi  Alatas
Published: January 2024

This paper elaborates and analyses the situation of Mecca between the 11th to 16th centuries based on travel accounts of five medieval travellers: Ibn Khusraw (1004–1072), Ibn Jubayr (1145–1217), Ibn Battuta (1304–1369), Ma Huan (1380–1460) and di Varthema (1470–1512). Moreover, by thoroughly consulting primary sources scored by above-mentioned travellers and other relevant secondary sources, this study aims to ascertain the importance of Mecca, in the given period, in the eye of Muslims and non-Muslim travellers. As the holiest city in Islam, which is also associated with Muslim religious pilgrimages, Mecca has a long and intriguing history throughout the ages. Furthermore, more often than not, during the medieval period, the pilgrimages to Mecca, which are usually conducted during the Islamic month of Dzulhijjah, were haunted by challenges and dangers posed by natural and social environments in and around Mecca, thus made the journey experiences of above-mentioned travellers all the more challenging, precious and memorable. However, at the end of the day, their hardships paid off and their praises proclaimed since they found themselves drenched in joy and in awe of the beauty and greatness of the Holy City. This research uses historical methodology, focusing on primary texts written by the five pilgrims mentioned above. This study provides a more comprehensive picture of the condition of the Holy City of Mecca in the era under study.

Authors:   Ural State Economic University, Ekaterinburg, Russia, Kovalev Viktor E. , Kilimnik Evgeny V. ,   Ural Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Ekaterinburg, Russia, Lylov Anton S. ,   Ural State Economic University, Ekaterinburg, Russia
Published: January 2024

The article notes that Russian and Ukrainian grain exports account for more than a quarter of the total volume of wheat on the world market. Due to the acute armed political conflict, wheat exports from Russia and Ukraine fell sharply. The result revealed that a decrease in world wheat trade by only 1 percent could increase exporters’ prices for wheat by 1.1 percent. It was determined that an increase in the pricing policy of producers by 1 percent can reduce wheat consumption by 0.59 percent. A decrease in wheat exports from Russia and Ukraine may worsen the situation with shortages of food products in the countries of the Middle East and Africa. To increase their regional food security, developing countries must, as part of strengthening state food policy, expand domestic wheat production using the latest technologies and additional investments in agricultural development.
¿Tienen ideología los datos abiertos?
Authors: Ferrer-Sapena Antonia , Sánchez-Arnau Elena
Published: January 2024

La iniciativa de la apertura de datos de las administraciones públicas es aparentemente independiente del sesgo ideológico de los gobiernos en los países democráticos. Sin embargo, esta práctica se justifica de forma distinta según el país donde se desarrolla, siendo en muchos casos una pieza más del sistema económico, plenamente compatible con los planteamientos del neoliberalismo. Así, los sistemas de información pueden ser diferentes dependiendo del enfoque de los gobiernos y de sus fundamentos ideológicos, y las iniciativas de apertura de datos pueden sustentarse tanto en planteamientos liberales de apoyo a las empresas como en términos de acciones de mejora social. Aunque habitualmente se asume que los proyectos de apertura de datos son apolíticos, lo cierto es que las ideologías que los justifican pueden ser muy distintas en relación a los rendimientos económicos o a los beneficios sociales que producen. La cuestión es determinar quiénes son los beneficiarios finales de la información que proporcionan.

Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Kazakhstan, Zhanabaev Z.Zh.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to a current topic in science and technology -determining the type and concentration of gas using a laser. At close values of green laser radiation intensity and bias voltage, interference patterns of the time series of the photodiode output signal were obtained. The degree of coherence (more than ~0.1) made it possible to distinguish between the types of gases and their concentrations. Signal coherence was controlled by Allan deviation values.The novelty of the research method is the choice of the harmonic of the electrical network asthe main modulation frequency. It is shown that the correlation functions and the corresponding power spectra are sensitive to low-frequency fluctuations of molecules and their clumps. This allows the results and methods of this work to be used in specific cases instead of large-sized and expensive complexes of optical instruments at room pressure and temperature.
INFLUENCE OF ELECTRON IRRADIATION ON THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, SURFACE MICRORELIEF AND BANDGANP WIDTH OF THE TRIPLE CRYSTALS OF IRON DOPED MONOSELINIDE OF THALLIUM AND INDIUM
Authors:   Institute of Nuclear Physics, Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, Ulugbek, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, I. Nuritdinov I.
Published: January 2024

In this work, the effect of electron irradiation on the structure, surface morphology and band gap of single-and polycrystalsof iron-doped ternary crystals of thallium and indium monoselinides was investigated. It has been established that the synthesized polycrystalline samples, as well as the grown single crystals of thallium and indium monoselinides, are single-phase. The crystals have a tetragonal unit cell (space group I4/mcm) with the following lattice parameters: a ~ b = 8.12 Å, c = 6.88 Å, α=β=γ= 90°. Irradiation with electrons with an energy of 2 MeV and a beam current density of 0.085 μA/cm2leads to changes in the structure and properties of crystals in a complex manner depending on the electron fluence. Leads to a change in the parameters of the crystal lattice, an increase in the maximum value of the arithmetic mean deviation of the profile, as well as a decrease inthe height of the average surface roughness of the irradiated crystals. Irradiation of a powder sample with electrons with a fluence of 5x1016electron/cm2helps to increase the size of nanocrystallites from 32.50 nm to 43.33 nm.

Authors:   Institute of Atomic Energy Branch of the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Medetbekov B.S. B.S.
Published: January 2024

The research involved conducting resource tests on two experimental water-cooled technological channels (WCTCs) utilizing low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel within the IVG1.M research reactor. This testing was a crucial step in the reactor's conversion from highly enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to LEU. The research focused on two key parameters, namely the specific activity and the relative release of fission products (FPs) into the coolant, to evaluate the tightnessof the fuel element cladding.A gamma-spectrometric sampling method was proposed to determine the relative releaseof FPs, which involved assessing the specific activity of the coolant, calculating the release rate (Release), the born rate (Born), and the R/B ratio of FPs. Comparative gamma-spectrometric measurements were conducted to analyze the content of FPs and activation products (AP) in the coolant of WCTCs utilizing both LEU and HEU during the tests.From the comprehensive list of detected radionuclides in the IVG.1M reactor coolant, well-identified reference radionuclides recommended for monitoringfuel element cladding tightness were carefully selected. The results of the study provided insights into the specific activity and relative release of FPs, demonstrating that quantitative values for the relative release of FPs from WCTCs using LEU and HEU fuel were comparable.

Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Kazakhstan, Turlykozhayeva D.A.
Published: January 2024

In this work, the authors propose a routing algorithm based on information entropy theory for calculating the metric, considering theprobability of packet loss. Information entropy theory serves as a robust foundation for evaluating uncertainty and disorder in data transmission, facilitating the development of a more resilient and intelligent routing strategy. In contrast to existing algorithms, the proposed approach enables a more accurate assessment of data transmission quality within the network, optimizing the routing process for maximum efficiency. The experimental results demonstrate a significant enhancement in network service quality while maintaining high performance. To validate the algorithm's effectiveness, a series of experiments were conducted, evaluating key performance metrics such as throughput, delay, and packet loss. A comparative analysis with established routing algorithms was also carried out, allowing for the assessment of advantages and drawbacks in relation to well-known algorithms. The findings suggest that the proposed algorithm surpasses traditional routing methods in optimizing data transmission quality and overall network efficiency.

Problem issues of identification management of digital objects of multiservice systems
Authors:   State University of Information and Communication Technologies, Kyiv, Kargapolov Yu. V.
Published: January 2024

The paper considers the issues of access to the ecosystem of services, obtaining and providing services, which can be both internal and external in relation to the information system in which the digital object is located. Today, the management of relationships between digital objects and services is carried out not only due to the functionality provided by the information system, but also, in particular, due to the management of the identification of digital objects and services. As a digital object, not only the object that wants to receive or provide services, but also the service itself is considered. Therefore, identity management is considered in relation to two interacting objects. The analysis of digital object identification management was carried out based on the following circumstances. Identification of the same digital objects can be expressed in different sign and meaning systems. Therefore, it is necessary to update and maintain many identifiers within one ecosystem of services and be able to manage them. Identifiers can be divided into "stupid" (limited), which cannot perform anything except the function of linking a digital object to a strictly limited set of operations within the information system, regardless of the conditions in which it is located, and "smart", which can provide an opportunity to respond to circumstances and the possibility of implementing a flexible scenario selection that can be updated according to the situation. "Smart" identifiers, unlike "stupid" ones, have properties that allow them to respond to circumstances, and therefore it is necessary to be able to manage such properties of identifiers. The principles of a new architecture for the design of computer systems are proposed, which allow flexible management of digital objects, their properties, identification of digital objects, properties of identifiers depending on the circumstances of the time, place and situation in which the digital objects are located. The new architecture makes it possible to integrate new entities into information systems without significant modernizations associated with changes in source and object code, information schemes of systems, modernization of data structures, which lead to the need for mandatory restructuring of database tables and database table management procedures data.

Bitumen emulsion effect on properties of asphalt-concrete mix for non-rigid road pavements (Tambov) .
Authors: Makaya L. М. , Zarapina L S. , Andrianov К. А. , Zubkov А. F.
Published: January 2024

During major repairs of non-rigid road surfaces and reconstruction of automobile roads, it is necessary to remove old coating with road cutters. During cold milling of the old coating, the material acquires the form of granules with the surface covered with a bitumen film. Over time, the bitumen film loses its properties, and to reuse the material, it is necessary to restore the binder properties. The introduction of the bitumen emulsion in the composition of asphalt-concrete mix, allows to restore the binder properties affecting not only strength properties of the asphalt-concrete mix, but also deformability and stiffness of the mixture layer under the compressive load.

Purpose: Evaluation of the influence of the binder content on deformability and stiffness of the asphalt-concrete mix.

Methodology: Asphalt granulate fractions are used in proportions 8 to 16 and 18 to 36 mm with a residual bitumen content of 2%. The bitumen emulsion EBK-2 is used as a binder. The ultimate strength of the asphalt layer is measured according to GOST 12801. Deformation of the mixture layer is measured on a TP-1-1500 hydraulic press.

Research findings: The bitumen emulsion effect is shown for deformation and stiffness of the asphalt-concrete mix for the pavement construction.

Value: It is shown that the bitumen emulsion in regeneration of asphalt granulate affects deformability and stiffness of the layer subjected to compaction load. The development of deformation and stiffness of the mixture layer under the load with different binder content, particles size, and layer thickness are established. Analytical dependences are suggested for deformation and stiffness of the loaded layer, its thickness during paving, and percentage of bitumen emulsion in the mixture.

Authors: Polyakov E. N. , Polyakova О. Р.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the early creative activity of the outstanding French architect Charles-Édouard Jeanneret known as Le Corbusier. His move to Paris can be explained by the increased professional and creative ambitions, spiritual maturation of the young master. The paper studies his first design works implemented in France include engineering structures, Ovriere village near Dieppe, and others.

The main attention is paid to two residential mansions made in the style of Cubism, namely the Ozenfant House and Studio in Paris built in the mid-1920s. Their master plans, original solutions of facades, lightweight frames made of precast concrete are studied herein. For those years, it is a fundamentally new building material, used later in the modern residential architecture. It is noted that the creator of architectural functionalism concludes that reinforced concrete structures have a wide compositional potential that allows working not only with flat, but also with curvedlinear walls, volumetric blocks. In addition, reinforced concrete allows him to successfully test his all five principles of modern. In these works, Le Corbusier first tests residential cell technology. These works are his first approbation of conceptual models of modern architecture.
Utjecaj metana na emisiju stakleničkih plinova i ugljični otisak animalnih proizvoda

Published: January 2024

Način na koji se percipira utjecaj metana na klimatske promjene na Zemlji značajno se razlikuje u ugljičnom otisku za različitu hranu. Bez obzira na razlike u metodologiji procijene metana i utjecaja pojedinih plinova, te ako i izuzmemo metan, najveći otisak i dalje imaju meso i mliječni proizvodi. To se posebno odnosi na meso goveda i janjetine koji imaju mnogo veće emisije stakleničkih plinova od piletine, svinjetine ili biljnih alternativa. Dostupni podaci i neko kolokvijalno mišljenje sugeriraju da je najučinkovitiji način za smanjenje antropogenog utjecaja na klimu prehrana ljudi, odnosno, jesti manje mesa općenito, posebno crvenog mesa i mliječnih proizvoda. Kada se radi o rješavanju klimatskih promjena, fokus je uglavnom na rješenjima za „čistu energiju“ (korištenje obnovljive energije) poboljšanja energetske učinkovitosti ili prelazak na nisko ugljični transport. Doista, energija, bilo u obliku električne topline, transporta ili industrijskih procesa, čini većinu, 76 % emisija stakleničkih plinova (IPCC, 2014.). Globalni prehrambeni sustavi, koji obuhvaćaju proizvodnju i postfarmske procese kao što su prerada i distribucija, također su ključni faktori koji doprinosi emisijama. I to je problem za koji još nemamo održiva tehnološka rješenja. Tako da stoji općepriznato mišljenje da je hrana odgovorna za otprilike 26 % globalnih emisija stakleničkih plinova (GHG).
Occipital Steal Syndrome with Carotid Artery Occlusion–A Physiologic Study with Transcranial Doppler
Authors: Emami Mehrdad , Zbrzeski Claudia , Weinberger Jesse
Published: January 2024

Occipital or posterior steal syndrome is a constellation of signs and symptoms that arise from abnormal shunting of blood flow from the posterior cerebral circulation into its anterior counterpart leading to transient episodes of neurological deficits due to posterior circulation ischemia. A 45-year-old woman who experienced transient visual phenomena during breath holding was evaluated by transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) for changes in cerebral blood flow. TCD revealed that the anterior cerebral vascular system was shunting blood away from its posterior counterpart in the setting of hypercapnia, resulting in visual symptoms. Using permissive blood pressure control, the steal phenomenon was resolved.
Unusual Case of Young Age Onset Stroke Suspected to Be Associated with Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum Gene Mutation in ABCC6: A Case Report
Authors: Kim Hyunkee , Park Eun Jee , Kim Young Seo
Published: January 2024

Ischemic stroke in young adults can pose diagnostic challenges, particularly when the clinical features deviate from the common presentation. Here, we present the case of a 31-year-old female with transient left-sided hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed right frontoparietal lobe infarction and stenosis of the right internal carotid arteries. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous variant of unknown significance in the ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 6 gene NM_001171.6:c.3739C>A (p.Pro1247Thr) that is associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, which is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal mineralization of elastic tissues. Although variants of unknown significance can only be classified as causative conditions if all other possible causes are ruled out, this report suggests the importance of considering unusual genetic conditions in young patients with ischemic stroke. Further genetic research, functional studies, and genetic counseling are vital for a comprehensive understanding of these cases.

Simplified approach for quantitative analysis of hardened concrete microstructure using autocorrelation function
Authors: Cong Vu Chi
Published: January 2024

In this paper, the internal microstructures of three different concrete mixtures were investigated through digitalimage analysis procedure conducted on a set of 60 cross-sectional images of hardened concrete specimens.To quantitatively describe the geometry and spatial organization of all the components within the hardened concretes and measure the heterogeneity of different concrete mixtures and sample shapes, a two-dimensionalAutocorrelation Function (ACF) analysis program was performed on a series of 60 scanned images of internalcross-sectional images. This enabled us to define a correlation range called the microstructural characteristiclength, li, which can be used as: (i) an indicator to quantify the properties on the domain size of the internal microstructure of hardened concrete, and (ii) an input parameter for constitutive modeling or for estimating theRepresentative Volume Element (RVE) of concrete. As the image analysis procedure based on ACF does notrequire the segmentation of the images, the method proposed in the present paper provides a simple and useful way of quantifying the microstructure of concrete for many practical purposes.

Authors: Mai Viet-Chinh , Nguyen Xuan Dai , Nguyen Canh Duc
Published: January 2024

Large-span girders serve as crucial components of contemporary infrastructure. For the design and analysis of these structures, a thorough comprehension of their structural behavior, particularly in terms of flexural response, is necessary. With its superior mechanical characteristics and greater durability, Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) has significantly changed the construction business in recentyears. Due to their potential for achieving longer spans, reduced construction time, and enhanced loading capacity, UHPFRC composite box girders have attracted a lot of attention. Comprehensive investigations are required to study the flexural behavior of large-span UHPFRC composite box girders under various loadingconditions in order to ensure their safe and effective use. The study aims to provide an in-depth awareness of the loading capacity, deflection characteristics, and failure mechanisms exhibited by these girders by applyingfinite element analysis (FEA) techniques. The findings of the current investigation might inform the creation of large-span UHPFRC girder designs that are more effective and dependable, promoting sustainable and resilientinfrastructure for the future.
МНОЖИННІСТЬ ПЕРЕКЛАДУ ЯК ГЕРМЕНЕВТИЧНА ПРОБЛЕМА
Authors: БЯЛИК Василь , ДІДИК Людмила , БОДНАРЧУК Анастасія
Published: January 2024

Статтю присвячено дослідженню герменевтичної проблематики множинності перекладу монологу з канонічного твору В. Шекспіра “Гамлет, принц данський”. Метою дослідження є спроба витлумачити зміст перекладацьких рішень українськими перекладачами ХІХ–ХХІ століть (П. Куліш, М. Старицький (ХІХ ст.), О. Бургардт (Ю. Клен), Г. Кочур (ХХ ст.), О. Тільна та Ю. Андрухович (ХХІ ст.)). Актуальність дослідження зумовлена пошуком оптимального варіанту втілення смислу оригіналу в перекладі, а також інтересом лінгвістів до множинності перекладів,детермінованих часовими рамками, які впливають на подальший розвиток перекладознавчих та літературознавчих процесів. Методи дослідження передбачають літературознавчий та герменевтичний аналіз, який полягає у зіставленні оригіналу з перекладами, у тому числі з урахуванням темпорального чиннику, а також визначення лінгвістичних та прагматичних особливостей. Проведене дослідження спрямоване на виявлення стилістичних особливостей монологу, його смислового навантаження та з’ясування причин множинності перекладу тексту та його рецепції українським читачем. Дослідження охоплювало три рівні аналізу: інтонаційно-ритмічний ((віршовий), який передбачає реалізацію варіативності віршового розміру при перекладі, та його вплив на витлумачення змісту текстотвору), синтаксичний (використання лексико-граматичних трансформацій для адекватної передачі змісту твору) та лексико-семантичний (спрямований на виявлення перекладацьких трансформацій, стилістичних прийомів, які сприяють передачі ідейно-художньої спрямованості тексту та його тлумаченню). В результаті аналізу ретрансляцій було виявлено, що, окрім декодування змісту мови-джерела та кодування його мовою перекладу, перекладачам доводилося вдаватися до власного розуміння цільової аудиторії та її потенційного сприйняття тексту, враховуючи співвідносність перекладеного тексту у відповідності до часових  рамок. Проведене дослідження свідчить, що варіація перекладацьких методів та рішень може мати різний інтроспекційний вплив на кінцевого реципієнта, як через різне стилістичне і семантичне навантаження обраних перекладацьких прийомів, так і через часову співвіднесність перекладеного твору.
EEG-Based Depression Detection in the Prefrontal Cortex Lobe using mRMR Feature Selection and Bidirectional LSTM
Authors: Pratiwi Monica
Published: January 2024

Depression can induce significant anguish and impair one's ability to perform effectively in professional, academic, and familial settings. This condition has the potential to result in suicide. Annually, the number of deaths resulting from suicide exceeds 700,000. Among individuals aged 15-29, suicide has emerged as the fourth most prevalent cause of mortality. Challenges in treating depression include limited accessibility to mental health care in rural regions and misdiagnosis resulting from subjective evaluations, wherein insufficient expertise can contribute to inaccurate diagnoses. Electroencephalography (EEG) has gained popularity as a tool for the identification and study of a number of mental illnesses in the past several years. Therefore, an automated technique is required to precisely distinguish between normal EEG signals and depression signals. This research focused on developing an EEG-based depression detection system in the prefrontal cortex lobe area (Fp1, Fpz, and Fp2). One of the developments carried out in this research is the implementation of Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) as the model classification and minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) feature selection. Results suggest that the combination of mRMR feature selection with 25 features and the Bidirectional LSTM obtained 92.83% for the accuracy.

Krajem 19. stoljeća unutar šibenske bolnice nalazilo se nahodište u kojem su zbrinjavana napuštena djeca prije njihova udomljavanja. U radu će se na temelju matičnih knjiga krštenih i umrlih pokrajinske bolnice u Šibeniku analizirati smještajni kapaciteti nahodišta u razdoblju od 1886. do 1900. godine. Provest će se analiza zaprimljene djece prema načinu dolaska u nahodište i stupnju poznatosti podrijetla, odnosno identiteta. Prikazat će se mjesečna i godišnja distribucija zaprimanja djece u promatranom razdoblju. Obradit će se osnovne onomastičke karakteristike štićenika nahodišta.
Prilog poznavanju zdravstvenih prilika stanovništva u Slavoniji i Srijemu tijekom Drugoga svjetskog rata, s naglaskom na zarazne bolesti

U članku su u uvodnim napomenama navedeni osnovni podaci o zdravstvenim prilikama vezanim uz pojavu zaraznih bolesti te o mjerama koje su poduzimane za njihovo suzbijanje na području NDH. Potom se u sažetom pregledu opisuje djelovanje državnih zdravstvenih institucija u borbi sa zaraznim bolestima na slavonskom području, koliko se iz korištenih izvora moglo iščitati, te je stanje istraženosti ove teme i dalje slabo. Opširnije je obrađeno djelovanje partizanskog saniteta i narodnooslobodilačkih odbora, ponajprije na području zapadne i središnje Slavonije gdje su se zarazne bolesti češće javljale. Izbijanje i saniranje zaraza obrađeno je kronološkim slijedom koji prati razvoj i jačanje partizanskog pokreta na tom području. Partizani su, zbog načina ratovanja, stacioniranja i opskrbe, bili u stalnom kontaktu s civilnim stanovništvom, posebice seoskim, stoga se njihovo zdravstveno stanje u velikoj mjeri podudaralo. Medicinska briga o civilnom stanovništvu, isprva partizanskog saniteta, potom i narodnooslobodilačkih odbora, u velikoj se mjeri iscrpljivala u poboljšanju higijenskih navika stanovništva, kao i provođenju zdravstveno-higijenskih mjera. Najvažnije su bile mjere za suzbijanje ušljivosti i uređivanje zahodskih jama zbog sprječavanja tifusa pjegavca i trbušnog tifusa. Obolijevalo se i od malarije i dizenterije, zaraznih bolesti i prije prisutnih među stanovništvom, te je zabilježen veći porast veneričnih bolesti, do rata manje zastupljenih na tom području. Članak se u velikoj mjeri temelji na objavljenim arhivskim izvorima i literaturi, te je baza za daljnja istraživanja zdravstvenih prilika stanovništva u Slavoniji i Srijemu, koje su izravno utjecale i na ljudske gubitke u Drugome svjetskom ratu na tom području.
Membidik Khilafah (Diskursus Dakwah Politik Di Indonesia)
Authors: Tori Mas , Maskur Asep
Published: January 2024

Da'wah is a very great obligation. However, the implementation of Islamic da'wah often faces problems, especially when the material and activities of da'wah are included in the political realm. Therefore, da'wah themes such as sharia, daulah and caliphate are vulnerable to resistance, especially during the current era of power.  Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study discusses the discourse of political da'wah in Indonesia. The results of the study show that: first, political da'wah is considered a threat by the state. This view is then framed by power by linking the ideas of sharia, daulah and caliphate with the narrative of radicalism. Second, theologically and historically the themes related to the caliphate are an important part of Islamic teachings. Unlike what is alleged, political Islam has historical concepts and facts that are much appreciated by historians and scholars.
Technology in Dementia Education: An Ethical Imperative in a Digitized World
Authors: Martin Susanna E. , Tam Mallorie T. , Robillard Julie M.
Published: January 2024

Technology can support the delivery of care and improve the lives of people living with dementia. However, despite a substantial body of evidence demonstrating the benefits and opportunities afforded by technology, gaps remain in how technology and technology ethics are addressed in dementia care education. Here we discuss disparities in current educational programming and highlight the ethical challenges arising from underdeveloped knowledge exchange about dementia care technology. We put forward that for technology to be ethically deployed and maximized to improve outcomes, it must be embedded into dementia education programs and made widely accessible to the caregiver community.

Published: January 2024

Background: Emotion and cognition are intercorrelated. Impaired emotion is common in populations with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), showing promises as an early detection approach. Objective: We aim to develop a novel automatic classification tool based on emotion features and machine learning. Methods: Older adults aged 60 years or over were recruited among residents in the long-term care facilities and the community. Participants included healthy control participants with normal cognition (HC, n = 26), patients with MCI (n = 23), and patients with probable AD (n = 30). Participants watched emotional film clips while multi-dimensional emotion data were collected, including mental features of Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM), physiological features of electrodermal activity (EDA), and facial expressions. Emotional features of EDA and facial expression were abstracted by using continuous decomposition analysis and EomNet, respectively. Bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) was used to train classification model. Hybrid fusion was used, including early feature fusion and late decision fusion. Data from 79 participants were utilized into deep machine learning analysis and hybrid fusion method. Results: By combining multiple emotion features, the model’s performance of AUC value was highest in classification between HC and probable AD (AUC = 0.92), intermediate between MCI and probable AD (AUC = 0.88), and lowest between HC and MCI (AUC = 0.82). Conclusions: Our method demonstrated an excellent predictive power to differentiate HC/MCI/AD by fusion of multiple emotion features. The proposed model provides a cost-effective and automated method that can assist in detecting probable AD and MCI from normal aging.

Published: January 2024

Background:

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a dystrophinopathy due to in-frame mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD) which determines a reduction of dystrophin at muscle level. BMD has a wide spectrum of clinical variability with different degrees of disability. Studies of natural history are needed also in view of up-coming clinical trials.

Objectives:

From an initial cohort of 32 BMD adult subjects, we present a detailed phenotypic characterization of 28 patients, then providing a description of their clinical natural history over the course of 12 months for 18 and 24 months for 13 of them.

Methods:

Each patient has been genetically characterized. Baseline, and 1-year and 2 years assessments included North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA), timed function tests (time to climb and descend four stairs), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Walton and Gardner-Medwin Scale and Medical Research Council (MRC) scale. Muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was acquired at baseline and in a subgroup of 9 patients after 24 months. Data on cardiac function (electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and cardiac MRI) were also collected.

Results and conclusions:

Among the clinical heterogeneity, a more severe involvement is often observed in patients with 45-X del, with a disease progression over two years. The 6MWT appears sensitive to detect modification from baseline during follow up while no variation was observed by MRC testing. Muscle MRI of the lower limbs correlates with clinical parameters. Our study further highlights how the phenotypic variability of BMD adult patients makes it difficult to describe an uniform course and substantiates the need to identify predictive parameters and biomarkers to stratify patients.

Published: January 2024

Background:

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a progressive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in Survival motor neuron 1 ( SMN1) gene, leading to reduction in survival motor neuron protein (SMN), key for motor neuron survival and function in the brainstem and spinal cord. Risdiplam is an orally administered SMN2-splicing modifier which increases production of functional SMN protein. Risdiplam was offered in the UK under early access to medicines scheme (EAMS) to SMA type 1 and 2 patients aged 2 months and older, not suitable for authorised treatments from September 2020 to December 2021.

Objective:

To describe the largest paediatric European real-world set of data on patients’ characteristics and short-term safety for risdiplam in Great Britain through EAMS.

Methods:

We collated data from SMA REACH UK a national clinical and research network for all patients enrolled onto EAMS and assessed all submitted adverse events.

Results:

Of the 92 patients; 78% were Type 2 SMA, mean age 10.9 years, range 0–17 years. 56 were treatment naïve, 33 previously treated; of these 25 had received nusinersen, 3 previous treatment unknown. Sixty adverse events (AEs) were reported occurring in 34 patients. The commonest were respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal disturbance. Four life-threatening events were reported with 2 deaths and permanent cessation of risdiplam in 3 patients. Overall, 38/60 AEs were considered unrelated to risdiplam, 10/60 related to risdiplam and for 12/60 causality not specified.

Conclusions:

This study found a safety profile similar to clinical trials with no new safety concerns identified. With the restricted eligibility of onasemnogene abeparvovec and complications of nusinersen administration, EAMS allowed access or continued treatment to naïve patients or patients no longer suitable for approved medications. Collection of longitudinal data for this complex population is needed, to provide greater insights into risdiplam’s role in addressing patients’ needs into the future.
