Islam and Christian Perspective Toward Global Religious Education in Indonesia
Authors: Hermawan Ahmad
Published: February 2023

Globalization challenges Muslims and Christians in developing religious education in Indonesia. The problem of globalization has attacked the spiritual values of education. The output of religious teachings has recently shifted from the primary goal, namely the goal of education, because the education system is religiously oriented. Intolerance, corruption, human rights violations and all forms of moral decay that the Indonesian nation faces are manifestations of the minimal results of the cultivation of religious education in Indonesia. To fill this gap, this study tries to analyze and solve the problem of religious education from both an Islamic and a Christian perspective. The research used in this article is a discourse analysis method by comparing Islamic religious education and Christian religious education in Indonesia. Cooperation between the government and religious education is needed to develop religious education in Indonesia's global era. It requires integration between religious values and the positive values of globalization. Inter-religious and inter-religious dialogue must be included as part of religious education. Religious and educational institutions must be separated from commercialization, and cooperation between Christian and Islamic institutions. The Ministry of religious affairs as the higher authority in religious education, have to build mutual cooperation between the Islamic institution of religious education and the Christian Institution of religious education to support dialogue and sharing in term of harmonization.

Authors: Indiantoro Alfalachu , Isnandar Aries , Pratama Johan Fendy , Febriansyah Ferry Irawan , Prasetyo Yogi
Published: February 2023

The Javanese tradition of avoiding marriage in the month of Suro is highly upheld, especially by the community. It is widely believed that marriage in the month of Suro will bring danger to the bride and groom, whereas in the Islamic concept, there is no prohibition against marriage in the month of Suro (Muharram). Departing from these reasons, the purpose of this study is to describe two different views of Islamic teachings and Javanese cultural traditions that have continued to contradict each other from ancient times to the present. This research is set in Ponorogo Regency, East Java. The research method used is qualitative with a sociological empirical juridical approach. The primary data used are facts about human behaviour and written documents from traditional leaders, religious leaders and related people. Using interviews and documentation for data collection, then analyzed using sociological empirical juridical. The results of the study show that the philosophical meaning of the prohibition of marriage in the month of Suro that occurs in Javanese society, especially in Ponorogo Regency, can be divided into two sides based on Paul Ricoeur's theory, namely the meaning of the prohibition from the side of the text maker and the side of the recipient/reader of the text. From the perspective of these two sides, then the philosophical meaning contained in the tradition of prohibiting marriage in the month of Suro can be concluded as a syncretism meaning between Javanese religions and cultures.

Published: February 2023

Aquaponics is an alternative to cultivating plants and fish in one place. This technique integrates fish farming with plants. In this case, aquaponic plants utilize nutrients from fish waste. Plants in aquaponics function as a biofilter, which will reduce these toxic substances into substances that are not harmful to fish and supply oxygen to fish-keeping ponds. With this technique, there will be a symbiosis of mutualism or a mutually beneficial cycle. The advantages obtained are the efficiency of water use and the reduction of waste contamination resulting from disposal into public waters. The water recirculation period affects the quality and quantity of fish and plants produced. Turbidity for cultivation should be no more than 25 NTU. Therefore, this tool is designed to detect the turbidity value of fish pond water in order to know the time to drain the pond using a turbidity sensor and regulate water irrigation in aquaponic installations based on light intensity values so that water does not stagnate in the installation pipe. The manufacture of this tool uses several components, such as an Arduino as a microcontroller, LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sensor functions to turn on and off the pump, turbidity sensor functions to determine the turbidity value of pool water, and water level sensor functions to adjust the water level when draining and filling. pond water. At pump 1, the water will turn on if the intensity value of the LDR sensor is 650. If the turbidity sensor value is 25 NTU, then pump 2 will turn on and dump pool water into the shelter. After the pond water is drained to the specified height level, pump 3 will turn on to fill the fish pond with water. Pump 3 will stop when the water level is > 665.

Published: February 2023

In this study, we aim to contribute to the existing literature on the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. We explore the factors that impact the behavior and attitude of students toward the use of AI in higher education. We employed a quantitative approach using a wide range of adoption theories and models, including the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model. We formulated hypotheses and verified the conceptual model. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 350 students. The structural equation model (SEM) was applied to estimate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Based on SEM results, we found that despite perceived risk negatively impacting students’ attitudes, the factors of performance expectancy and facilitating conditions significantly influenced students’ attitudes and their behavioral intention to use AI in education. The results also show that effort expectancy does not significantly influence attitudes toward AI use in higher education. Research limitations are discussed at the end of this study.

Background: This study was carried out to compare the outcome of oral iron Ferrous sulphate tablets v/s
parenteral Iron sucrose injection. Parenteral iron was more benecial in quickly restoring iron deciency
in antenatal . Aim: To study outcome of comparison between oral and parenteral iron supplements in improving iron
deciency anemia in pregnant women . Materials and Methods: This was a comparative and prospective study, conducted in
Department of obstetrics and gynecology Dhiraj General hospital,Vadodara. Total 40 pregnant women with mild and
moderate iron deciency anemia were taken as cases and followed up and study was conducted for 6 months. Results: Total
40 patients , 20 taking ferrous sulphate tablets and 20 given iv iron sucrose to avoid discrepancy , were studied for prevalence
of iron deciency anemia . The anemic patients ranged from 20-35 years, of low socioeconomic status ,with prevalance in both
the primigravida and multigravida, majorly in multigravida patients . Majority of patients were seen in 14-28 weeks gestation,
which was timely managed in our setup. Majority of patients with iron deciency anemia had <50 kg weight , 13 of which had
oral treatment, while 10 patients were given intravenous iron . Majority of women in this study had microcytic hypochromic iron
deciency anemia with the nal mean hemoglobin after giving the treatment in oral group being less than in intravenous group
. 15 patients (75%) in intravenous group and 13 patients ( 65%) in oral group did not have any side effects. Side effects like
Gastrointestinal disturbance were seen more in oral group ( 5 patients i.e. 25%) while sweating and burning were seen in
patients where intravenous treatment was given ( 2 patients i.e. 10%) and the nal mean hemoglobin in intravenous group is
greater than the oral group. Thus, greater level of hemoglobin was achieved with intravenous mode in the same stipulated 6
months duration . Conclusion: The study depicts that intravenous iron is safe, convenient, and effective, without any serious
side-effects , better tolerated by the patients with higher increase in mean hemoglobin. So, it's a good substitute to oral iron
therapy in pregnant females with moderate anemia roughly at 14-28 weeks of gestation

Introduction: Malnutrition is one of the most important public health problems throughout the world,
particularly in developing countries, and has undesirable effects on the mental and physical health of
children. Despite enormous economic progress achieved in the past two to three decades, malnutrition among children in both
urban and rural India still claims many lives. Hence this study was undertaken to assess nutritional status and its determinants
among under-5 children attending anganwadi centres of rural eld practice area of our Medical College. Method: A
community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 285 children under 5 years of age attending anganwadi centres
of rural eld practice area of our Medical College. Information regarding socio-demographic variables, infant feeding
practices and immunization was obtained from mothers/guardians of children. Anthropometric measurements, i.e., weight
and height were taken following standard techniques. Children were categorized on the basis of their weight-for-age, heightfor-age and weight-for-height as per WHO International Growth Standards 2006 generated for boys and girls aged 0 to 60
months, and below 2 SD of the reference median on any of these indices were considered as underweight, stunted and wasted
respectively. Results: The overall prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting was found to be 42.5%, 38.6% and 28.8%
respectively. Signicant association was observed between the prevalence of undernutrition and age, gender, type of family,
literacy status of mother, birth order, socioeconomic status, infant feeding practices and immunization status. Conclusion: The

Background: Acne is the most common skin disease of adolescents and young adults. It is a complex
skin disorder that distresses many patients because of its chronicity. Acne vulgaris is a common
inammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit. Vitamin D regulates the immune system and the proliferation and
differentiation of keratinocytes and sebocytes. Vitamin D deciency may facilitate the pathogenesis of acne Methods: This
research is an observational study with cross-sectional data collection methods to determine Vitamin D levels as a predictor of
acne severity in patients. The study was conducted in a laboratory at the Royal Prima Medan General Hospital, starting in July
2022. Sampling was carried out consecutively for all affordable populations who met the study criteria, namely 30 patients
suffering from acne. Results and Discussion: The cut Point value of 23.57 pg/mL for vitamin D levels to predict the severity of
acne vulgaris, a sensitivity value of 87.5%, a specicity of 78.6%, a positive predictive value of 87.5% and a negative predictive
value are obtained. of 84.6%, the accuracy of vitamin D levels to predict the severity of acne vulgaris was 83.3%. Conclusions
and suggestions: Our study shows that vitamin D levels can be used to predict the severity of acne vulgaris. The more severe the
severity of the acne, the lower the Vitamin D in the blood

Introduction: Pain is a very frequent symptom in emergency medicine and the understanding of its
epidemio-clinical characters is essential to better manage it. The objective of our work was to describe
the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of acute pain in a medical emergency department. Materials and methods:
This is a prospective study carried out in the Emergency Reception-Triage Service of the CHU-MA Mahajanga, from October 1,
2018 to September 30, 2019. We recorded the socio-demographic data of the patients as well as the characteristics pains. The
variables were analyzed by SPSS 25.0 software. Results: The frequency of painful patients admitted is estimated at 43.5%. The
pain has concerned mainly patients from 46 to 60 years old (27.33%), with an average age of 57 years of female gender (61.2%).
The group working in the informal sector (65.5%) was the most affected. As for the reasons for admission, it was mainly acute
pain (86.3%) due to an excess nociception (97.9%), dominated by medical pathologies with preponderance digestive
pathologies (34.5%). Conclusion: Through this study, we were able to see that pain is the most common reason for entering the
emergency room. According to our study, it predominates in people of age more advanced and the most frequent causes are
medical pathologies

Bhaishajya Kalpana is a branch of Ayurveda which deals mainly with Aushadha nirmana, by using the
tools like Samyoga, Vishlesha, Kala, Samskara and Yukti. Sneha Kalpana is one such aushadha
kalpanas which contains water and lipid soluble active principles. Adityapaka (heating through Sunrays/solar radiation/solar
resource)is a type of sneha kalpana where taila or ghrita is processed on mild temperature produced by the exposure to sunlight
for a specic time period at times in specc vessels (iron, copper, steel etc). This method is practiced to prepare taila or ghrita
paka from the drugs that possibly are having volatile property and are heat sensitive in nature. Very minimum references
regarding such procedure of Aditya paka are available that too scattered in classics. This is an attempt to collect information on
such formulations by reviewing classical texts and various databases through various search engines like Google scholar,
Pubmed etc. Total 29 references of Aditya paka found in different texts of Ayurveda. These formulations are routinely prescribed
for topical application

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a gradual and progressive loss of renal function over time. Among the
many complications associated with CKD, its impact on platelet functions is signicant. The present study
was conducted to evaluate and compare platelet distribution width and mean platelet volume among CKD patients on HD and
those not on HD. The study was conducted on a total of 100 patients {50 each, of CKD (Not on haemodialysis) and End stage
renal disease (on haemodialysis)}. When assessed according to the platelets, it was observed that the platelet distribution width
and mean platelet volume were signicantly higher in the NOT ON HD group than the ON HD group. It can be concluded from the
study that as the serial values of PDW and MPV decreases, the chances of CKD (NHD) patients requiring haemodialysis in the
future increases.
PREVALENCE OF KERATOCONUS IN KASHMIR IN NORTH INDIA: A VIDEOKERATOGRAPHIC STUDY
Authors: Hakak Birjees , Khan Afroz
Published: February 2023

Purpose: To detect the incidence of keratoconus by videokeratography in patients in Kashmir in North
India and to describe the clinical characteristics associated with it. Design: Cross sectional study
Methodology: This study was carried out on eyes of 212 patients between 5 to 20 years of age presenting to tertiary care
hospital of Kashmir in north India over a period of two years. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), slit lamp examination,
pachymetry, refraction, fundus examination, and corneal topography was done in all the patients and clinical ndings
recorded. To detect keratoconus, corneal topography maps were analysed using Rabinowitz-McDonnel criteria. Maps with
central corneal power(Kmax) greater than 47.2 diopters and the inferosuperior asymmetry value greater than 1.4 were
considered to have a keratoconus pattern. Results: Out of 212 patients, 145 were males and 67 were females. Majority were in
the age group of 5- 10 years. Among the study eyes, Kmax> 47.2 D was seen in 10.1 %, Sim K astigmatism > 1.5D in 29%, I-S
difference > 1.4 D in 11.79 % , SRAX > 21° in 20% and K max>47.2 D + I-S Difference >1.4 i.e keratoconus pattern was seen in
93 eyes i.e 21.9% Conclusion: Incidence of keratoconus in allergic patients is more when compared to general population of
the same age group from previous studies. The videokeratographic examination of patients leads to early detection of mild
keratoconus by interpretation of color-coded maps.

Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is a major cause of maternal as well as fetal morbidity. The normal
placenta through implantation and development modies the uterine circulation from one of low ow and
high resistance to one of high ow and low resistance. Doppler ultrasound examination is a non-invasive method, which gives
useful information about impaired blood ow to the fetus at risk among high risk patients. Several studies suggest a signicant
decrease in neonatal morbidity & mortality when Doppler evaluation was a part of fetal surveillance
