STRATEGI SEKOLAH INDONESIA RIYADH (SIR) DALAM MEMBANGUN BUDAYA ISLAMI SISWA DI LINGKUNGAN SEKOLAH
Authors: Saudin Budi Marta , Wibisono Hendar Ahmad
Published: February 2025

This research aims to explain the strategies the Indonesian Embassy School of Riyadh (SIR) has carried out to develop Islamic culture among its students. The methodology used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method, employing research instruments such as observation, interviews, and documentation. As a school located abroad and within an Arab community, the Indonesian Embassy School of Riyadh (SIR) feels challenged to compete in quality with schools in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Various programs have been implemented, including instilling Islamic culture in students, hoping they will become more religious and improve their overall quality. The results of the research show that the school has instilled Islamic culture in its students through programs such as Qur'an recitations, dhuha prayer, dzuhur prayer in the congregation, morning prayers, prayers after dhuha prayers, prayers before and after studying, prayers after shalah dzuhur, darsul Qur'an, wearing Islamic clothing, practicing Islamic values (e.g., greetings, smiling, saying hello, eating with the right hand, eating while sitting, praying before eating), learning Arabic inside and outside the classroom, and participating in extracurricular activities. A new finding in this research is that living in an Arab country does not necessarily ensure that one can practice Islamic culture if they are not accustomed to it and regulated by a system. Many students cannot read the Qur'an well, so the school prepares pre-tahsin classes for them. Additionally, many students cannot speak Arabic according to correct Arabic language rules because they are accustomed to speaking Arabic with the amiyah dialect. The Indonesian Embassy School of Riyadh (SIR) has implemented various strategies intending to enable students to compete globally.
Analisis Dampak dan Kontroversi Penerapan Perda Syariat di Indonesia: Studi Kasus Aceh
Authors: Parawati Erina Dwi , Muhaimin
Published: February 2025

Fenomena penerapan Peraturan Daerah (Perda) Syariat di beberapa wilayah Indonesia telah menjadi topik yang memicu berbagai reaksi publik, terutama karena perda syariat ini dianggap sebagai upaya daerah untuk mempertahankan nilai-nilai Islam di tengah arus modernisasi dan globalisasi. Kebijakan ini muncul seiring diberlakukannya otonomi daerah pada tahun 1999, yang memberi wewenang lebih besar kepada pemerintah daerah untuk mengatur wilayah mereka sesuai dengan aspirasi masyarakat setempat. Salah satu daerah yang menonjol dalam penerapan perda syariat adalah Aceh, yang mendapat hak istimewa untuk menerapkan hukum syariah melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2006. Fenomena ini menimbulkan berbagai pandangan dan perdebatan, baik dari pendukung yang menganggap perda syariat sebagai upaya untuk menjaga moralitas publik maupun dari kritik yang menilai aturan ini berpotensi mendiskriminasi kelompok minoritas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak, tantangan, dan kontroversi yang terkait dengan penerapan perda syariat di Indonesia, khususnya di Aceh. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis kualitatif, penelitian ini mengkaji persepsi masyarakat terhadap perda syariat, efektivitas aturan, serta implikasi hukumnya terhadap hak-hak dasar warga negara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun perda syariat dapat menciptakan ketertiban sosial yang sesuai dengan norma-norma mayoritas, aturan ini juga menghadapi tantangan dalam bentuk inkonsistensi penegakan hukum dan berpotensi bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip hak asasi manusia, terutama bagi kelompok masyarakat non-Muslim.

«Quella utilissima e grande illusione che si chiama punto d’onore». Leopardi e dintorni (1820-1832)
Authors: Diafani Laura
Published: February 2025

L’aristocratico Leopardi cresce nel culto degli antichi duellanti classici e rintraccia nel duello
contemporaneo uno scadimento insensato di quello nobile e eroico degli antichi. Nello
Zibaldone (2420-2425, 6 maggio 1822), riflette sul «punto d’onore» come «utilissima […]
illusione», che spingeva gli antichi al sacrificio di sé per la comunità in cui si viveva, e lo
contrappone al senso dell’onore dei moderni, rivolto individualisticamente solo a mantenere
l’«opinione» corrente in società. Quanto sia isolata la sua riflessione, lo suggerisce l’ascolto di una voce a lui vicina, rappresentativa del momento storico: quella di Giovanni Rosini, che si limita a mettere in scena negativamente la violenza del duello, sul modello manzoniano.

The objective of this study was to develop a novel natural veterinary pharmaceutical agent for the treatment of tick and mite infections, with the aim of experimentally confirming its efficacy in vivo. The dogs selected for the experiment were divided into three groups (n = 27) according to the type of tick infection, with each group divided into three subgroups (n = 9). The first experimental group of dogs was affected by ixodid ticks, the second by sarcoptic mites, and the third by thrombidiform mites. The groups were then subdivided into three smaller groups. Group I received treatment with ‘AnimAll VetLine’ antiparasitic tablets for dogs and cats, Group II received treatment with ‘Acaro Spectra’ antiparasitic tablets for dogs, and Group III served as the control group, whose condition was monitored without treatment. The antiparasitic tablets, designated ‘Acaro Spectra’, demonstrated efficacy within 24 hours. The test results indicated that the ticks were removed within the same timeframe, and no new ticks attached. Additionally, the administration of ‘Acaro Spectra’ did not elicit any allergic reactions or signs of distress in the animals. In the treatment of dogs affected by ixodid ticks, sarcoptic, and thrombidiform mites, the drug ‘Acaro Spectra’ antiparasitic tablets for dogs showed 100% effectiveness. The results obtained allow us to recommend the drug ‘Acaro Spectra’ antiparasitic tablets for dogs for the treatment and prevention of ixodid ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor reticulatus), sarcoptic mites (Otodectes cynotis, Notoedres cati, Sarcoptes canis), thrombidiform mites (Demodex spp., Cheyletiella spp.)

TOPIKAL APLIKASI FLUOR DALAM MENCEGAH KARIES GIGI PADA ANAK – SEBUAH LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Aldina Ridha
Published: February 2025

Maintaining oral and dental health is very important to achieve optimal body health, so it must start from the time of the primary teeth. The health of a child's primary teeth will determine the condition of the permanent teeth that will replace them. The most common dental and oral health problem is dental caries. Based on the results of Riskesdas data, the incidence of dental caries in Indonesia is still very high, so efforts and prevention of dental caries are needed. There are three types of prevention that can be done to prevent dental caries, namely primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The earliest action is primary prevention. The main steps to prevent caries are effective for teeth that are still healthy or when initial caries occurs. Initial caries is characterized by demineralization of tooth enamel but no cavity formation. The primary stage of caries prevention includes dental health education, maintaining dental health, regular dental examinations, administering fissure sealants, and administering Topical Applications Fluoride (TAF). TAF is one of the most effective in preventing caries. TAF is a simple technique for application of fluoride solutions by dental practitioners and can be applied easily. This treatment is highly recommended for children who have just erupted in the mouth to strengthen the tooth enamel layer.
PENGGUNAAN DETEKTOR KARIES PADA PREPARASI KAVITAS PRA-PERAWATAN PULP CAPPING (LAPORAN KASUS)
Authors: Azijah Alma Shiffa
Published: February 2025

Latar Belakang: Keberhasilan restorasi gigi yang mengalami karies bergantung pada pengambilan seluruh jaringan yang terkena karies. Prosedur ini dinilai secara konvensional dengan metode visual dan taktil. Namun hal tersebut bukan merupakan panduan yang dapat diandalkan mengingat sifat subjektifnya. Oleh karena itu pewarna pendeteksi karies (Caries detector dyes) dapat digunakan sebagai indeks objektif untuk diagnosis dan pengambilan karies.
Laporan Kasus: Seorang pasien perempuan berusia 22 tahun datang dengan keluhan gigi depannya terasa nyeri saat mengkonsumsi makanan dan minuman dingin. Hasil pemeriksaan menunjukan gigi 21 mengalami pulpitis reversible. Rencana perawatan gigi tersebut akan dilakukan pulp capping dengan follow up restorasi kelas IV komposit. Untuk memastikan semua jaringan karies terambil, maka saat preparasi kavitas dilakukan pengaplikasian pewarna pendeteksi karies.  
Pembahasan: Kavitas yang telah diaplikasikan pewarna detektor karies akan membuat perbedaan yang jelas antara jaringan yang akan diangkat dan jaringan yang dipertahankan. Komponen pewarna detektor karies yaitu pelarut propilen glikol akan menembus serat kolagen lepas pada dentin yang terinfeksi yang menyebabkan pewarnaan serat kolagen terdegradasi oleh pewarna. Sehingga dapat memastikan perawatan yang konservatif dan menghindari terpaparnya pulpa.
Kesimpulan: Penggunaan pewarna pendeteksi karies selama preparasi kavitas dapat membantu mendeteksi jaringan karies yang tidak terdeteksi dengan penilaian visual dan taktil.
Kata kunci : Pewarna pendeteksi karies, pulp capping, preparasi kavitas

Published: February 2025

The study focused on the people’s perception of Coronavirus, traditional health, and western health in fight against Coronavirus. Experts contend that government agencies and health officials should join forces with traditional healers rather than oppose them to successfully combat COVID-19. Traditional health care, through several trado-medical scientists seemed to be mostly patronized by all sector of health institution and the youth. This obviously signifies that traditional health which has long been taken for granted and rejected for many years has a critical role to play in making reasonable health care delivery system to the African communities. The indigenous health care system and its methods are being demonized by youth and certain scientific institutions because they are linked to witchcraft and other wicked customs. The researcher noticed that, in the twenty-first century, there appeared to be an idea of interfacing Traditional Health Practices (THPs) with Western doctors. It appears that basic health care systems were provided by traditional medical professionals in civilizations prior to the arrival of colonialism. The objective of the study was as follows, to explore the perceptions of traditional health and western health practitioners in fight against Coronavirus. The study adopted an employ African healing theory. The study used a qualitative research design and was exploratory in nature. Data was generated using semi-structured interviews as data collection instruments. The study’s finding shows that symptoms of coronavirus are the same in traditional health care and western health care perspectives as the traditional practitioner and western practitioner observe the common symptoms such as coughing, sweating, high temperature having mucus, unable to breath and diarrhea or vomiting which are the same symptoms of normal influenza. The study recommends Integration of traditional health and western healthcare system in leveraging the strength of both approaches to combat corona virus and promote overall health well-being and Future research on traditional health care in advancing rural livelihoods.

Nitrobenzene, widely used in industrial applications, is a potent oxidizing agent that induces methemoglobinemia by converting hemoglobin's iron
2+ 3+
from its ferrous (Fe ) to ferric (Fe ) state, impairing oxygen transport. We report a case of a 19-year-old female presenting with severe hypoxia and
cyanosis following nitrobenzene ingestion. Her methemoglobin level was 37.5%. Prompt diagnosis and intravenous methylene blue
administration led to significant improvement. Early recognition of nitrobenzene poisoning is crucial, as delayed treatment can result in severe
complications or death. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for timely intervention, significantly improving patient outcomes.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the surface roughness and bond strength of porcelain fused to metal restorations fabricated by different
methods. One hundred and twenty bar shaped samples of cobalt-chromium were fabricated by centrifuga Materials and Methods: l casting,
induction casting, direct metal laser sintering and milling containing thirty samples each. These samples were further divided into subgroups of
which ten samples were served as control, ten samples were surface treated with Aluminium oxide particles, ten samples were surface treated with
Silicon carbide particles. Samples were tested for surface roughness using Profilometer. Then samples were fired with porcelain and bond strength
was measured using Universal testing machine. Results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey multiple comparison test.
Results: There was statistically significant difference among all four groups. The highest bond strength was seen in direct metal laser sintered
samples followed by milling and induction casting and the least was found in centrifugal cast samples. Surface roughness was found highest in the
samples abraded with silicon carbide particles followed by aluminium oxide particles. Within the li Conclusion: mitations of the study, it can be
concluded that laser sintered Co-Cr frameworks establish a strong bond with porcelain and also the metal-ceramic bond strength is dependent on
the manufacturing method used and it was found that the bond strength values of all samples exceeded the minimum acceptable value of 25 MPa
recommended by the ISO 9693.

Choledochal cyst is a rare congenital malformation of the biliary tract which can be associated with calculi within the cyst – cystolithiasis and
gallstones. It is unusual to find heterotopic pancreatic tissue within the wall of choledochal cyst. We hereby report a case of a 43 year old female,
who presented with complaints of recurrent abdominal pain with fever for the past 2 months. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogram (Plain)
showed features of acute/subacute cholecystitis. Focal cystic dilatation of proximal common bile duct with choledocholithiasis, type Ib
choledochal cyst, Hepatolithiasis with mild intrahepatic biliary radicals dilatation were noted. The patient was planned for cholecystectomy with
excision of choledochal cyst. Microscopic examination of the cystwall showed a fibrocollagenous cyst wall lined by single layer of columnar
epithelium. The cystwall showed lobules of pancreatic acini consistent with heterotopic pancreatic tissue. Gall bladder showed features of chronic
cholecystitis. We report this case of heterotopic pancreatic tissue in choledochal cyst with cystolithiasis and cholelithiasis occurring
simultaneously and due to its rarity

Mental health is a level of psychological wellbeing, or an absence of mental disorder; it is the psychological state of someone who is functioning at a
satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment”. Self- esteem refers to an individual's overall subjective evaluation of their own worth
and feelings of acceptance or approval of oneself, It plays a crucial role in mental and emotional wellbeing of an individual. Many previous
research indicated that lowered self- esteem frequently became an etiological factor in many psychiatric conditions. Activity therapy is a
therapeutic recreation that improves quality of life . It is designed to address therapeutic goal. Self-esteem impacts on academic and career
performance , overall happiness and life satisfaction, decision making , problem solving skills and social interactions. Present study was conducted
on 50 samples in the selected rehabilitation center (Pingla ghar) of Jalandhar where knitting as an activity and a quantitative , single group pretest
and posttest design is used where ROSENBERG'S SELF ESTEEM SCALE (RSES) is used.

Mais alguns elementos da economia política da guerra na história da ordem capitalista mundial
Authors: Lima Filho Paulo Alves de
Published: February 2025

This text analyzes the political economy of the agro-export complex and its impact on national sovereignty. It highlights the transition from capitalism to its monopoly phase and the subordination of peripheral economies to the interests of central powers. The Paraguayan War is cited as a deindustrializing event for both Brazil and Paraguay. The agro-export economy, based on slavery and protectionism, is contrasted with the need for industrialization and national autonomy. The text also addresses the creation of the military-industrial complex (MIC) in post-1964 Brazil, as part of a "Brazil as a Power" project. This project sought military and technological autonomy but was influenced by international capital. The crisis of the nation-state and the expansion of multinational corporations are discussed as factors that limit the sovereignty of peripheral countries. The Scientific-Technological Revolution (STR) is presented as a new stage of capitalism, with profound impacts on production and the international division of labor. The decline of military-industrial complexes after the Cold War and the need to adapt to new environmental and social challenges are also central themes.

Published: February 2025

Post-traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare vascular complications, often presenting with delayed and nonspecific symptoms, making their diagnosis challenging. This case report describes a 25-year-old male who developed an ilio-iliac AVF six years after a penetrating stab wound. The patient presented progressive dyspnea and right heart failure, leading to an incidental diagnosis of the fistula through advanced imaging. Endovascular repair with a covered stent was successfully performed, resulting in symptom resolution. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for AVFs in patients with prior trauma, as well as the evolving role of endovascular techniques in their management. Multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial in optimizing outcomes, particularly in complex vascular injuries.

Textiloma refers to a rare postoperative complication that can occur when surgical sponges or instruments are accidentally left inside the patient's body. It is often asymptomatic and difficult to diagnose, particularly in chronic cases where there are no specific clinical or radiological signs for differential diagnosis. In such cases, diagnosis depends heavily on the patient's medical history. Abdominal X-rays are not particularly useful, but ultrasound is reliable. CT scans offer a precise topographical diagnosis but cannot always be accurate. Some teams have proposed using MRI. We report a case of intra-abdominal textiloma in a 35-year-old patient who had undergone surgery 9 years earlier for an ectopic pregnancy. A pelvic ultrasound revealed an ovarian cyst, and during the ensuing surgical exploration, a pseudo-tumoral abdominal mass adhering to the stomach was discovered. The mass was removed, and it was found to contain a small surgical sponge measuring 25x15cm. The purpose of this work is to highlight the diagnostic challenges of this pathology and the importance of exploratory laparotomy.

Background: Postoperative enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) is a challenging complication that significantly impacts morbidity and mortality. Nutritional management plays a crucial role in optimizing outcomes, with early enteral nutrition (EEN) emerging as a preferred strategy over total parenteral nutrition (TPN). This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of EEN versus TPN in postoperative ECF patients. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, from July 2024 to January 2025 on 30 postoperative ECF patients. Participants were divided into two groups: early enteral nutrition (EEN) group (n=15) and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) group (n=15). Key outcome measures included fistula closure rate, time to closure, nutritional parameters (serum albumin, total protein), length of hospital stay, and incidence of complications. Results: EEN was associated with higher spontaneous fistula closure rates (66.7% vs. 40%, p=0.048), shorter closure time (22.8 ± 4.9 vs. 31.2 ± 6.3 days, p=0.002), and improved serum albumin (p=0.003). The hospital stay was significantly shorter in the EEN group (25.6 ± 5.3 vs. 36.4 ± 7.1 days, p<0.001). The incidence of infectious complications was lower in EEN (20% vs. 46.7%, p=0.037). Conclusion: EEN demonstrated superior outcomes over TPN in postoperative ECF patients, promoting faster fistula closure, better nutritional recovery, and reduced complications. These findings support the routine use of early enteral nutrition in ECF management.
