The Role of Libraries in Building of Islamic Moderation
Authors: Wijayanti Ayu Yuli , Alfatawi Dawamun Ni'am
Published: June 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap upaya pengembangan moderasi Islam melalui perpustakaan. Perpustakaan sebagai pusat dari lembaga pengelola pengetahuan memiliki potensi dan daya jangkau luas secara geografis, menyeluruh dalam berbagai tingkatan masyarakat. Hal ini berkaitan dengan jenis-jenis perpustakaan cenderung memiliki potensi lebih mudah untuk diterima. Berdasarkan penelitian ini ditemukan jika moderasi Islam dalam konteks bangsa dan negara bukanlah hal baru. Bahkan sudah ada sejak zaman awal Islam, bagi bangsa Indonesia moderasi Islam sudah ada sebelum zaman kemerdekaan. Pengembangan moderasi beragama di perpustakaan merupakan hal yang sangat relevan untuk dilakukan. Kemajuan budaya dan peradaban suatu bangsa tidak lepas dari keadaan kemajuan perpustakaan. Peran perpustakaan dalam menyemai moderasi Islam adalah menghubungkan konteks sekarang dengan sejarah. Keterputusan sejarah membuat seseorang bisa salah arah karena tidak menerima informasi secara lengkap atau terjebak dalam teks tanpa tafsir kontek yang memadai. Penyebaran moderasi Islam perlu strategi yang tepat, karena memerlukan langkah yang panjang dan kontinu. Strategi tersebut terbagi menjadi dua yaitu internal dan eksternal. Strategi internal menyangkut kinerja perpustakaan dari dalam sementara eksternal berkaitan dengan dukungan dari luar lembaga perpustakaan yang umumnya berkaitan dengan ranah kekuasaan

Jihad in the Book Of Al-Mishbah: Overview Schleiermacher’s Romantic Hermeneutic
Authors: Suhartini Atin
Published: June 2023

Artikel ini akan mengelaborasikan pemahaman tentang pentingnya jihad dari pemahaman Al-Mishbah dengan kacamata hermeneutika sebagai metode seni memahami. Quraish Shihab sebagai seorang pengamat yang terisolasi dari perdebatan, banyak orang hanya melihat dari pengalamannya yang sering dipandang dekat dengan budaya Syiah. Untuk menghindari kesan keliru di kalangan pembaca dan jurnalis dalam memahami teks ayat jihad, artikel ini menggunakan metode hermeneutika Schleiermacher sebagai salah satu yang termasuk hermeneutika objektif, yakni pemahaman ada di penulis teks. Hermeneutika Schleiermacher tidak akan hanya melirik teks saja melainkan dengan melihat sisi psikologis atau kehidupan Quraish Shihab terlebih ketika ia sedang menulis tafsir al-Mishbah. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Melalui interpretasi gramatikal makna jihad dalam tafsir Al-Mishbah dipahami bahwa, pertama, makna jihad dalam tafsir Al-Mishbah adalah sebuah perjuangan lahir dan batin dalam melawan musuh agama. Kedua, berjihad dengan berperang mengangkat senjata merupakan jalan terakhir yang ditempuh dalam berjihad melawan musuh agama. Selanjutnya melalui interpretasi psikologisnya Quraish Shihab adalah orang yang memiliki kapasitas yang unggul dan keadaan yang menunjang dalam menuliskan tafsir Al-Mishbah.

Authors: Nasta'in Nasta'in , Rohman Taufikur
Published: June 2023

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis apakah terdapat relevansi antara penolakan risalah nabi Muhammad dengan penolakan perubahan batasan usia perkawinan. Tulisan ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif terhadap sejumlah sumber data; buku dan artikel yang membahas mengenai risalah nabi Muhammad dan perubahan batasan usia perkawinan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat relevansi antara penolakan terhadap risalah nabi Muhammad dan perubahan batasan usia perkawinan di atas, yaitu keduanya menolak adanya pesan perubahan, serta keduanya ingin mempertahankan kebiasaannya. Selain itu, relevansi lainnya yaitu bahwa keduanya kurang memahami terkait perubahan tersebut. Masyarakat kafir jahiliyyah kurang memahami bahwa risalah yang dibawa dan diajarkan oleh nabi Muhammad merupakan kebenaran yang harus diterima untuk keselamatan hidup dunia dan akhirat, sedangkan masyarakat yang menolak adanya perubahan batasan usia perkawinan kurang memahami dampak yang ditimbulkan akibat perkawinan di bawah umur

Authors: Kara Muslimin , Rusanti Ega , Sofyan A. Syathir
Published: June 2023

The increase in research on local economic practices is not accompanied by theoretical analysis. This study explores people's behaviour in choosing partnership systems (Teseng) by analyzing the theory of planned behaviour. Therefore, this research implies that it is an instrument for measuring local economic practices from the perspective of the theory of planned behaviour. The methodology used was phenomenology with data from the Batukaropa village community, Bulukumba Regency, Indonesia. The results show that attitude toward a behaviour is indicated by a perspective of helping and strengthening kinship. Meanwhile, subjective norms consist of the perception that teseng is part of the social culture of society, and the practice of teseng reflects social status. Perceived behaviour control based on the practice of teseng is more flexible and effective than the procedures for applying venture capital in Islamic banking.
Quantum cognition and interpretation of the fantastic in Virginia Hamilton’s Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush
Authors: Mashhadi Pegah
Published: June 2023

Fantasy requires a probabilistic theory of reasoning to explore how it enables the observer to create mental images from uncertainty. This study proposes a quantum cognitive approach to fantasy used for disclosing mental models of the character in uncertainty. For the uncertain individual, there exists a multiplicity of mentally incompatible but equally valid and complete representations (mental pictures) of the world. Contextualizing fantasy within the quantum cognitive principles, the novel Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush (1982) by Virginia Hamilton has been taken into consideration. In this novel the hesitation between psychological and supernatural explanations interrupts the predictive power about the real and affects mental models or cognitive states of the young character of the novel as the observer. The process of representing fantasy through complementarity, one of the quantum cognitive principles, shows that fantasy is a mixed state with a familiar probabilistic combination of states which reflect incomplete knowledge. The quantum principle of superposition has been used to explain the way an introspective mental experiment is initiated by the observer but not completed. The decision made by the observer is not a deterministic process that converges to a single mental representation. Rather it can evolve forever. To sum up, this article marks how quantum cognition can describe the uncertainty principle both on an emotional-behavioural and structural level when the observer entangles themselves within the irreducible indeterminacy of reality within fantasy.
Smoked Signals and Janosik. Braided Lives of Heroic Outlaws in Cinema. On the Notions of Origin and Identity. Smoke Signals (1998) and Jánošík (1921)
Authors: Smiešková Alena
Published: June 2023

The paper discusses the idea of origin, and the cinematic representation as a means of expression for specific cultural identity. Deriving its theoretical background from the understanding of cultural memory by Assman (1995, via Warburg, 1924 - 1929), and the concept of cultural identity as hybrid (Hall, 1998) the paper argues that the films Jánošík (1921), and Smoke Signals (1998) are examples of sovereign cinematic representations of respective cultural identities (Slovak, and Native American), and both construct cultural identity as hybrid, standing in between, or embracing multiple discourses. Through the depiction of their characters, and opening scenes the article examines the complexity of the film representations as they compromise or subvert existing stereotypes.

Authors: Sava Alexandra-Roxana , Zamfirache Maria-Magdalena , Stratu Anișoara
Published: June 2023

The effect of zinc on seed germination in two species of the Echium genus (Echium russicum J.F. Gmelin and Echium vulgare L.) was investigated. Zinc was used as sulphate in three different concentrations: 100 mg∕ l; 200 mg ∕ l și 300 mg ∕ l; the treatment was applied to the seeds before germination, the exposure time being short (4 hours and 8 hours). Seed germination was monitored daily for a period of 14 days. The effect of treatment on seed germination in the test species was assessed by calculating four germination indicators: final germination percentage (FGP), germination index (GI), mean germination time (MGT) and coefficient of rate germination (CRG). The results show the following: the seeds of Echium russicum germinate faster than those of Echium vulgare; statistically insignificant changes in the indicators associated with germination, except for GI in Echium vulgare for the 8 hours exposure time; reduction of germination percentage (in both species) and increase in germination time (more evident in Echium vulgare) with increasing exposure time. The test species showed tolerance throughout the germination process to the zinc concentrations used.

Populism as a challenge for Albania’s fragile democracy
Authors: Nezha Kelmend , Muçollari Oriona
Published: June 2023

This paper explores the phenomenon of populism and its impact on the democratic processes in Albania. The spread of populism represents one of the most acute challenges to Albanian democracy. To understand the dynamics of populist strategies and behavior, it is crucial to analyze the relationship between populism and the media, and to discuss the phenomenon of “media populism”. More than two decades after the transition from communism, democracy in Albania remains fragile. Freedom House labels Albania ‘transitional or hybrid regime’ and international organizations have expressed concern about the progress of Albania. Populism, characterized by its appeal to the emotions and grievances of the people, has gained prominence in recent years, posing significant challenges to the stability and development of democratic institutions in Albania. Through an examination of the historical and socio-political context of Albania, this paper analyzes the rise of populism, its consequences for democracy, and proposes potential strategies to mitigate its negative effects. Drawing upon scholarly research and case studies, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of populism’s influence on Albania’s democracy and suggest actionable recommendations for safeguarding democratic values and institutions.

Published: June 2023

Objective

To evaluate the effect of family psychosocial intervention on the mental health and family function of caregivers of children with cancer.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CMB, PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and PsycARTICLES was conducted to retrieve randomized controlled trials of family psychosocial intervention from database inception until 19 September 2021. RevMan (version 5.4.1) was used to analyze the data.

Results

A total of 894 caregivers participated in 11 studies. The analysis showed that anxiety (standardized mean difference [SMD] = −0.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.37 to -0.07, P = 0.004) and depression (SMD = −0.33, 95% CI = −0.57 to -0.08, P = 0.01) were significantly reduced, while family function (SMD = −0.86, 95% CI = −1.28 to -0.45, P < 0.001) was significantly improved by the family psychosocial intervention compared with the controls. According to subgroup analysis, family psychosocial interventions were found to reduce posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms when the follow-up time was >1 month (SMD = −0.48, 95% CI = 0.68 to -0.27, P < 0.00001).

Conclusions

Current evidence supports the use of family psychological intervention to reduce depression and anxiety and improve family function. However, its effect on PTSD symptoms requires further study. Future studies should further identify the role of specific family psychosocial interventions on families and caregivers of children with cancer.

Authors: Su Ya-Ping , Li Rui-Ling , Wang Yuan-Yuan , Han Ling-Yu
Published: June 2023

The rate of disability due to acute osteofascial compartment syndrome (OCS) is high, and the therapeutic effect of decompressive fasciotomy is not ideal. This paper retrospectively reviews the modern treatment of OCS, including Western medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), mainly in the context of the advantages of TCM in the treatment process of decompressive fasciotomy or conservative treatment to the patients who are suffering from OCS. It was found that TCM treatment reduced the levels of serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST); it is beneficial to the elimination of swelling and pain. TCM adjunctive therapy promotes patients’ postoperative functional recovery and decreases the occurrence of fasciotomy in patients; TCM can relieve tissue hypoxia of compartments and prevent necrosis of muscle and nerve tissue. TCM treatment improves the quality of medical service and ensures the safety of OCS patients. This paper aims to summarize the function of TCM in the treatment of OCS, provide reference for the clinical treatment of OCS, and improve the nursing/medical outcomes of OCS.

Published: June 2023

In recent years, many studies have attempted to use deep learning for moving object detection. Some research also combines object detection methods with traditional background modeling. However, this approach may run into some problems with parameter settings and weight imbalances. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, this paper proposes a new way to combine ViBe and Faster-RCNN for moving object detection. To be more specific, our approach is to confine the candidate boxes to only retain the area containing moving objects through traditional background modeling. Furthermore, in order to make the detection able to more accurately filter out the static object, the probability of each region proposal then being retained. In this paper, we compare four famous methods, namely GMM and ViBe for the traditional methods, and DeepBS and SFEN for the deep learning-based methods. The result of the experiment shows that the proposed method has the best overall performance score among all methods. The proposed method is also robust to the dynamic background and environmental changes and is able to separate stationary objects from moving objects. Especially the overall F-measure with the CDNET 2014 dataset (like in the dynamic background and intermittent object motion cases) was 0,8572.

Published: June 2023

In this paper, an intelligent approach to the Short-Term Wind Power Prediction (STWPP) problem is considered, with the use of various types of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The impact of the prediction time horizon length on accuracy, and the influence of temperature on prediction effectiveness have been analyzed. Three types of DNNs have been implemented and tested, including: CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks), GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), and H-MLP (Hierarchical Multilayer Perceptron). The DNN architectures are part of the Deep Learning Prediction (DLP) framework that is applied in the Deep Learning Power Prediction System (DLPPS). The system is trained based on data that comes from a real wind farm. This is significant because the prediction results strongly depend on weather conditions in specific locations. The results obtained from the proposed system, for the real data, are presented and compared. The best result has been achieved for the GRU network. The key advantage of the system is a high effectiveness prediction using a minimal subset of parameters. The prediction of wind power in wind farms is very important as wind power capacity has shown a rapid increase, and has become a promising source of renewable energies.

Ziel des vorliegenden beitrags ist es, die Rezeption des traurig berühmten Fotos, das während der Pandemie in Bergamo aufgenommen wurde, in der deutschen Presse zu rekonstruieren und dabei herauszuarbeiten, wie die direkte Kenntnis des Kontextes, in dem das Bild aufgenommen wurde, seine Rezeption in Italien und Deutschland unterschiedlich beeinflusst hat. Auf methodischer Ebene versucht der Beitrag die Auswirkungen des realen Kontextes auf die Bedeutungskonstitution in der digitalen Multimodalität und die pragmatische Organisation und Folgerungsstruktur des Fotos Sarg-Konvoi zu definieren und schlägt ein deskriptives Modell der digitalen Multimodalität in Bezug auf die Bildrezeption vor.

L’objectif de cet article est de reconstruire la réception de cette photo tristement célèbre prise à Bergame pendant la pandémie dans la presse allemande, en soulignant comment la connaissance directe du contexte dans lequel l’image a été prise a influencé sa réception différemment en Italie et en Allemagne. Sur le plan méthodologique, l’article tente de définir l’impact du contexte réel sur la constitution du sens dans la multimodalité numérique et l’organisation pragmatique et la structure inférentielle de la photographie et propose un modèle descriptif de la multimodalité numérique en relation avec la réception de l’image.

The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the reception of this infamous photo taken in Bergamo during the pandemic in the German press, highlighting how direct knowledge of the context in which the image was taken influenced its reception differently in Italy and Germany. On a methodological level, the paper attempts to define the impact of the real context on the constitution of meaning in digital multimodality and the pragmatic organization and inferential structure of the photograph and proposes a descriptive model of digital multimodality in relation to image reception.

Background

The exact etiology of Tourette Syndrome (TS) remains unclear, making the search for impaired neuropsychological functions possibly connected to the underlying cause of TS as important as it is challenging. One neuropsychological domain of interest is fine motor skills.

Method

This study compared fine motor skill performance on the Purdue Pegboard Task (PPT) in 18 children with TS, 24 unaffected first-degree siblings and 20 controls. A set of screening questionnaires was administered to determine comorbid psychiatric illness.

Results

Children with TS, their siblings and controls did not differ significantly in fine motor skills as measured with the PPT. Performance on the PPT was not correlated with tic severity; however, we found an inverse correlation with severity of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, as assessed by parent reported ADHD symptoms. Children with TS were found to have significantly higher parent reported ADHD symptoms compared to controls, yet only two out of the 18 participants had been diagnosed with ADHD.

Conclusion

This study suggests that fine motor skill impairment in children with TS may be more strongly correlated with comorbid ADHD than to TS and tics.
Recurrent fill history of individual clastic dikes in the White River Group at Slim Buttes, South Dakota

Published: June 2023

Clastic dikes that occur within the terrestrial, Oligocene White River Group strata at localities throughout the Great Plains typically display internal mud to fine sand layers that are subparallel to the walls. Shrink-swell weathering usually obscures details of the internal layer geometry of the dikes. Recent work in the Slim Buttes area documents internal layer cross-cutting relationships that indicate tens or more of recurrent opening and injection events for thicker individual dikes. Evidence of significant dike-wall modification also exists. Source beds were unobserved despite adequate outcrops. Dikes are enclosed within the Oligocene Brule Formation. Some are truncated at or near the contact with the overlying Miocene Arikaree Group strata, constraining formation timing, whereas others have upper and lower tips within the Brule Formation. Dike strikes test as random in distribution. These dike attributes are consistent with repeated fracture opening and tip propagation from diagenetically driven shrinkage that induced episodic fluid flow which mobilized host-rock sediment (crack-fill instead of crack-seal). Sediment fill is proposed to have come from dike-wall erosion in branching tip regions during propagation events. In general, clastic dikes are polygenetic, and the diagenetically driven, recurrent formation mode evident in the White River Group examples can be considered in addition to standard injection models associated with overpressurized source beds or Neptunian infill.
Varikoseli olan hastalarda nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLR), platelet/ lenfosit oranı (PLR), monosit/eozinofil oranı (MER) gibi enflamatuvar belirteçlerin varikoselektomi sonrası spermiogram parametrelerinin değişimine etkisini öngörme

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to predict the changes in postoperative spermiogram parameters in patients who underwent varicocelectomy by using pre- and post-operative hemogram parameters and inflammatory blood markers. MATRERIAL and METHODS: 25 patients who underwent microscopic varicocelectomy in our clinic and met the study criteria were included in the study. Hemogram parameters were measured just before and twenty (20) days after the surgery, and spermiogram parameters were measured 6 months after the surgery. The patients seperated into two groups. Patients with >50% improvement in postoperative Total Motile Sperm Count (TMS) were included in the recovered patients group, and patients with less than 50% improvement were included in the non-recovered patients group. Neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte / eosinophil ratio (MER), and blood counts such as neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, monocyte, eosinophil were compared in groups, also were compared before and after surgery, separate RESULTS: Improvement in TMS was observed in patients with a statistically significant decrease in postoperative NLR (p = 0.009; p <0.01). As a result of the calculations, cut-off point for the NLR change was accepted as 1.06% and above. PLR and MER parameters were not statistically significant in predicting the improvement of TMS. Among the neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, monocyte, eosinophil counts, preoperative neutrophil and preoperative monocyte counts were found to be higher in patients with postoperative TMS improvement. Cut-off points for these preoperative neutrophil and monocyte counts were calculated as 3.77 and 0.47, respectively. In our study, we could not reach any statistically significant result for lymphocyte, eosinophil and platelet counts. CONCLUSION: Preoperative and postoperative results of NLR, neutrophil or monocyte counts can be used as a marker to predict improvement in TMS. Keywords: varicocele, NLR, PLR, MER, inflammation

OBJECTIVE: In this study, our aim is to evaluate the quality and reliability of Turkish videos associated with Microscopic Varicocelectomy on YouTube. MATERIAL and METHODS: YouTube’s search function was used to find videos associated with Microscopic Varicocelectomy. On January 1, 2023, systematic research was performed using the term “Microscopic Varicocelectomy”, covering the last 5 years in order to be up to date. The first 50 videos were included in the study. The quality of the videos was evaluated using the Global Quality Score (GQS). The modified DISCERN scale was used to evaluate the reliability of the videos. RESULTS: A total of 50 videos associated with microscopic varicocelectomy were analyzed. 64% videos were repaired by a urologist who deals with infertility. 56% of the medical doctors had academic titles. The most frequently discussed topics in the videos were comparison with other methods (54%), factors that increase the success of the microscopic varicocelectomy procedure (52%), success rates of the microscopic varicocelectomy procedure (30%), postoperative complications (22%) and operation time (%20). The mean GQS of the videos was 2,86±1,17. When the reliability of the sources was evaluated using the DISCERN score, the mean score of the videos was 2,57±0,84. There were no fullrated videos from DISCERN. CONCLUSION: The present study shows that the level of knowledge in Turkish sources on YouTube associated with micro TESE is at an acceptable level, but its scientific reliability is low. Therefore, short and concise videos that contain accurate and up-to-date information and refer to scientific facts in plain language should be prepared by the relevant associations.
