PEMBELAJARAN STATISTIKA TERKAIT UKURAN PEMUSATAN DATA (MEAN, MODUS, DAN MEDIAN) MELALUI INTEGRASI TERHADAP AL-QUR’AN
Authors: Mardhiyatirrahmah Liny
Published: April 2023

Statistics consists of how to plan, collect, analyze, then interpret, and finally display data. Although studied at various school levels, statistics is still taught in general, without being linked to the Qur’an, especially in Islamic-based schools or tertiary institutions. Therefore, the integration between religious sciences and general science, especially statistics, is very much needed in schools. Learning statistics related to the size of the concentration of data, namely the mean, median, and mode, can be integrated with the Qur'an. This can be seen from the existence of examples that can be taken using the number of verses, names of surahs, and other prayer services that can be related to this. This integration between statistics and the Qur’an can indirectly help eliminate the assumption that the Koran and general science cannot be collaborated. This research is focused on developing a learning process with a scientific approach that can help understanding statistics related to the size of data concentration. The research method used in this study is the research and development method, which includes the use of descriptive methods, action research, and experiments. The results prove that this integration is a bright spot to be able to combine the two sciences when teaching in class to get more meaningful learning. Students can also become more aware of what the Qur'an contains by frequently interacting through this integration.
The asymmetry effect of budget deficit and inflation in Nigeria
Authors: Garba Amina Musa
Published: April 2023

This study evaluates the asymmetry effect of budget deficit and inflation in Nigeria spanning 1986 and 2020. The dissertation employed the Non-linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) approach of Shin, Yu and Greenwood-nimmo (2014) to examine the effect of budget deficit on inflation in Nigeria. The study employed annual data on budget deficit (proxied by budget deficit as a share of GDP), money supply (proxied by money supply), inflation (proxied by consumer price index) collected from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, 2020 edition. The result of the effect of budget deficit on inflation indicates that in the long run, positive change in budget deficit induces inflation. This result indicates that rise in budget deficit is inflationary in Nigeria. Furthermore, the inflationary role of positive change in budget leads to higher price level. In addition, a negative change in budget deficit exerts an inflationary pressure in the long run though insignificant. Based on the findings of our analyses, the study concludes that budget deficit raises money supply and induces inflationary pressure in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that there is need for the authorities in Nigeria should reduce the cost of governance by reducing overhead and allowance of political office holder in order to reduce budget deficit.
Estonian ‘Balticness’ as a social construct: meanings and contextual specifics
Authors: Chekov Alexander D.
Published: April 2023

This paper explores the Estonian vision of Baltic identity. Estonia’s authorities have repeatedly articulated their scepticism towards the concept of a stand-alone ‘Baltic region’ and the inclusion of Estonia in it, preferring to position their state as a Nordic country. Yet, in numerous cases, they have clearly labelled Estonia as a Baltic State. To identify the contexts and meanings labelling the country as a Baltic State, this contribution provides a content analysis of official speeches given by Estonia’s political leadership. It is concluded that, despite the visibility of socioeconomic issues in the discourse, the most comprehensive image of Estonian ‘Balticness’ is constructed by interconnected narratives built around the Soviet past and the ‘security threats’ associated with Russia. The theoretical framework of regionalism, which allows one to consider the Baltics as a social construct rather than a set of material factors, provides an additional explanatory model.

Authors: Sharathchandra Kodandoor , Sridhar Kandikere Ramaiah
Published: April 2023

Ingoldian fungi are known to occur beyond their preferred lotic habitats. There are many reports on their occurrence in tree canopies (stemflow, through fall and tree holes) and terrestrial leaf litter. This study aimed to assess the assemblage and diversity of Ingoldian fungi in terrestrial damp woody litter of five tree species grown in scrub jungles of the southwest India, following bubble (2 days) and damp chamber (14 days) incubations of segments of bark and cambium samples. Conidia released into water were trapped using Millipore filters, stained and assessed. Total 30 fungal species were recorded, with a higher species richness in bubble chamber as compared to damp chamber incubation method (25 spp. vs. 18 spp.). The bark samples in bubble chamber incubation method yielded more species than cambium samples (19 spp. vs. 16 spp.). The bark samples in bubble chamber incubation also showed the highest number of exclusive species as compared to cambium samples (8 spp. vs. 6 spp.). Simpson and Shannon diversities were higher in bark samples than cambium samples in bubble chamber incubation with low Pielou’s equitability. The frequency of occurrence of the top three species (Anguillospora longissima, Flagellospora curvula and Triscelophorus acuminatus) and top two species (A. longissima and F. curvula) were same in both samples in bubble and damp chamber incubations, respectively. The bark samples of Terminalia paniculata and cambium samples of Ficus benghalensis showed the highest number of average species in bubble chamber incubation. The bark samples of Acacia auriculiformis as well as F. benghalensis possess the highest number of average species in damp chamber incubation, while the cambium samples of Artocarpus heterophyllus showed the highest number of average species. All tree species showed the higher number of average conidia in bark samples as compared to cambium samples in bubble chamber incubation, with a highest frequency in Anacardium occidentale. The bark of Acacia auriculiformis and cambium of F. benghalensis showed the highest average conidia in damp chamber incubation. Bubble chamber incubation served as a rapid and efficient method of assessment of Ingoldian fungi in damp woody litter.

Abstrak: Teachers have a very important role in the process of student development at school, one of which is in the teaching and learning process of children. The role of the teacher, apart from being a parent in the school, should also pay attention to the growth and development of students by providing direct guidance to students. One of the guidance that can be done by a teacher to improve student development is spiritual guidance. Spiritual guidance is needed for all students, so that students cannot understand God's word, the best spiritual lesson is a demonstration of life. When the disciples understand God's words, they will understand how to act in their lives, to do good things and stay away from bad things. That is the function of spiritual guidance to students at school. How important it is to cultivate an attitude of mutual love among themselves and an attitude to fear God, this is the most important thing in conducting spiritual guidance to students at school. It is at this time that the task of a teacher is important to be an example and guide for students so that students do not lose the image of God in the life they are living.Abstrak: Guru memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam proses perkembangan murid di sekolah, salah satunya adalah dalam proses belajar mengajar anak. Peran guru selain sebagai orang tua dalam sekolah, juga patut memperhatikan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan murid dengan memberikan bimbingan secara langsung kepada murid. Salah satu bimbingan yang dapat dilakukan oleh seorang guru untuk meningkatkan perkembangan murid adalah bimbingan rohani. Bimbingan rohani diperlukan bagi semua murid, agar para murid dapat mengerti tentang firman Tuhan, bimbingan rohani yang terbaik adalah suatu demonstrasi mengenai sebuah kehidupan. Disaat para murid mengerti arti sebuah kehidupan dan menerapkan firman Tuhan dalam hidup mereka, maka mereka akan mengerti bagaimana bertindak dalam kehidupan mereka, untuk melakukan hal yang baik dan menjauhi hal yang tidak baik. Itulah fungsi dari bimbingan kerohanian pada murid-murid di sekolah. Bagaimana pentingnya menumbuhkan sikap saling mengasihi antar sesama mereka dan sikap untuk takut akan Tuhan, hal inilah yang paling penting dalam melakukan bimbingan rohani kepada murid-murid di sekolah. Disaat inilah tugas seorang guru penting untuk menjadi teladan dan pembimbing bagi para murid sehingga para murid tidak kehilangan gambar Allah dalam hidupnya yang sedang mereka jalani.

Background/Aims: Colonic volvulus (CV), a common cause of bowel obstruction, often requires intervention. We aimed to identify hospitalization trends and CV outcomes in the United States.Methods: We used the National Inpatient Sample to identify all adult CV hospitalizations in the United States from 2007 to 2017. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and inpatient outcomes were highlighted. Outcomes of endoscopic and surgical management were compared.Results: From 2007 to 2017, there were 220,666 CV hospitalizations. CV-related hospitalizations increased from 17,888 in 2007 to 21,715 in 2017 (p=0.001). However, inpatient mortality decreased from 7.6% in 2007 to 6.2% in 2017 (p<0.001). Of all CV-related hospitalizations, 13,745 underwent endoscopic intervention, and 77,157 underwent surgery. Although the endoscopic cohort had patients with a higher Charlson comorbidity index, we noted lower inpatient mortality (6.1% vs. 7.0%, p<0.001), mean length of stay (8.3 vs. 11.8 days, p<0.001), and mean total healthcare charge ($68,126 vs. $106,703, p<0.001) compared to the surgical cohort. Male sex, increased Charlson comorbidity index scores, acute kidney injury, and malnutrition were associated with higher odds of inpatient mortality in patients with CV who underwent endoscopic management.Conclusions: Endoscopic intervention has lower inpatient mortality and is an excellent alternative to surgery for appropriately selected CV hospitalizations.

In Argentina, on March 20, 2020, the "social, preventive and mandatory isolation" and the cessation of face-to-face educational activities are installed. With the aim of dealing with the pandemic, the Hospital launches a volunteering proposal for students of Nursing careers, interrelating an educational institution and a health institution. Before the pandemic, nursing students could not attend health institutions as volunteers, but instead did so as part of their professional practices. The general objective was to determine the degree of satisfaction of the nursing students who volunteered at the Hospital Escuela during the pandemic. A descriptive cross-sectional observational study was carried out where data was collected through a survey as a research method. A total of 376 responses were collected and analyzed. The results of the analysis allow elucidating the satisfaction of the volunteers in the sample in the three dimensions, those related to the organization, with the infrastructure where they volunteered and with the teaching-learning process. 95.4% of the students valued the experience as positive and would recommend volunteering. We must highlight as important the learning acquired, the experience, knowing the labor reality and the motivation to continue developing the activity.

Blockchain and Holochain in Medical Education from Planetary Health and Climate Change Perspectives
Authors: Kıyak Yavuz Selim
Published: April 2023

As we are transitioning from the age of information to the age of artificial intelligence, this study aims to explore the potential of blockchain and Holochain technologies as solutions to the data privacy, security, and integrity concerns in medical education, and to provide standpoints of a medical education researcher for their use that also minimize negative impacts regarding planetary health and climate change. While these technologies offer promising solutions, their environmental impact has not been discussed in the literature with regard to medical education. This study offers two key standpoints for medical education researchers, educators, and policy makers to ensure the responsible use of Web3 technologies in this field. Standpoint 1: If the use of blockchain technology is necessary, avoid using proof-of-work blockchains. Standpoint 2: Use Holochain instead of blockchain.

A medida que estamos pasando de la era de la información a la era de la inteligencia artificial, este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar el potencial de las tecnologías blockchain y Holochain como soluciones a los problemas de privacidad, seguridad e integridad de los datos en la educación médica, y proporcionar puntos de vista de un investigador de educación médica para su uso que también minimizan los impactos negativos con respecto a la salud planetaria y el cambio climático. Si bien estas tecnologías ofrecen soluciones prometedoras, su impacto ambiental no se ha discutido en la literatura con respecto a la educación médica. Este estudio ofrece dos puntos de vista clave para los investigadores de la educación médica, los educadores y los encargados de formular políticas para garantizar el uso responsable de las tecnologías Web3 en este campo. Punto de vista 1: si es necesario el uso de tecnología blockchain, evite usar blockchains de prueba de trabajo. Punto de vista 2: use Holochain en lugar de blockchain.
‘Listen to my heart’: Qualitative researchers and people living with rheumatic heart disease collaborate to direct future RHD research
Authors: Read C , Mitchell A , Johnson T D , Engel M E , Mathshabane O , Ssinabulya I , Scheel A , Erio T , Lawrenson J , Perkins S , De Vries J , Zühlke L
Published: April 2023

Background. Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a preventable chronic cardiac condition that causes over 350 000 deaths annually, largely in low and middle-income countries, as a direct result of structural inequalities and inadequate access to comprehensive healthcare. People living with and affected by this disease are a key stakeholder group and need to be directing research priorities.

Objective. To improve care and provide direction for future research, a group of qualitative researchers and pe living with RHD from six countries convened in Cape Town in 2016.

Methods. People with RHD shared their lived experiences while RHD researchers, clinicians and advocates presented a spectrum of qualitative research methods to explore these experiences. The Continuum of Care© (CoC, developed by the Medtronic Foundation) was used as a framework to guide participant discussions. Thematic summaries of the discussions were undertaken in an iterative process throughout the workshop.

Results. Three themes emerged in the summaries: there is no ‘typical’ patient journey; a biomedical focus on RHD does not reflect people’s lived experiences; and a diversity of research methods is required to investigate experiences of people living with RHD.Practice implications. Qualitative research methods are invaluable for allowing patient ‘voices’ to be heard. To this end, qualitative approaches should be incorporated in all RHD research to ensure maximum benefit for patients.

Conclusion. Greater understanding of the patient journey was gained for strengthening and expanding the global RHD research agenda. Future research should reflect on and incorporate the realities of patients’ lived experiences, and these experiences should be integrated into healthcare models for chronic conditions.
Les Hughes à Drummondville, ou comment entrer sur le terrain
Authors: Vienne Philippe
Published: April 2023

Cet article se propose de décrire les conditions d’enquête de terrain d’Everett Hughes et Helen Hughes MacGill à Drummondville pour la préparation de l’ouvrage French Canada in Transition (1943). Celles-ci ont peu été décrites ou commentées alors que la description des conditions d’enquête, notamment de la durée précise de celle-ci, serait aujourd’hui considérée comme fondamentale pour garantir la validité d’une telle enquête. L’ouvrage précité a fait l’objet, de la part d’Everett Hughes, d’une « histoire naturelle » (natural history) de sa recherche de longue durée sur le Canada français, mais il ne s’agissait pas d’une histoire du travail de terrain qui a conduit à l’ouvrage. Ce terrain est décrit ici à partir d’archives inédites éclairant en particulier l’entrée sur le terrain (getting in), les « ficelles » du terrain permettant la prise de contact avec les informateurs privilégiés, la définition de rôles précis pour les observateurs permettant aux habitants d’une communauté de « définir la situation » à leur égard, et le « marché » passé avec certains informateurs du monde industriel local en échange de la confidentialité sur le nom de la ville. « L’oeil » sociologique acéré du couple Hughes est également étudié dans la routine des observations et l’observation des routines locales.
Pour une éducation populaire à la fiscalisation de la protection sociale
Authors: Boucher Marie-Pierre
Published: April 2023

Dès la fin des années 1960, la protection sociale canadienne allait progressivement s’amalgamer au rapport d’impôt. Or cette tendance à la fiscalisation de la protection sociale semble encore mal connue des populations qu’elle vise. Dans une perspective d’analyse des politiques publiques « par et pour », nous avons élaboré un projet de recherche collaborative avec des intervenantes en placement de la main-d’oeuvre féminine. Mais celui-ci a confirmé les résistances à la compréhension de cette dynamique de fiscalisation. Dans cet article, nous allons présenter cette démarche de recherche et certains des outils mobilisés au cours de celle-ci. Nous allons ensuite remonter le fil de notre propre démarche de connaissances de la fiscalisation de la protection sociale à partir du projet d’allocation universelle, commencée il y a 25 ans. Ce faisant, nous souhaitons mettre en évidence comment ce projet qui suscite la mobilisation populaire pourrait conduire à alimenter une démarche d’éducation populaire sur la fiscalisation de la protection sociale.
Langues utilisées à la maison et au travail à Montréal par les immigrants entre 2001 et 2016 : progrès notoire, mais fragile du français
Authors: Grenier Gilles
Published: April 2023

Ce texte analyse l’évolution des langues utilisées à la maison et au travail dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal de 2001 à 2016. L’accent est mis sur les immigrants étant donné leur importance dans la croissance future de la population. On définit deux indices prenant des valeurs entre 0 et 100 : un indice d’intensité d’utilisation d’une langue officielle canadienne (le français ou l’anglais) à la maison et au travail; et un indice d’intensité d’utilisation du français par rapport à l’anglais lorsqu’une langue officielle canadienne est utilisée. Cette approche permet de simplifier l’information complexe contenue dans les réponses aux questions du recensement. Les immigrants en général utilisent moins le français à la maison et au travail que les non-immigrants. Cependant, ceux d’origines et de langues proches du français l’utilisent beaucoup plus que les autres. Il y a eu un progrès notoire dans l’utilisation du français à la maison et au travail chez les immigrants depuis 2001, principalement chez les immigrants récents, mais l’effet global est atténué à cause de la forte augmentation de la proportion d’immigrants dans la population. Dans l’ensemble, l’état du français est demeuré stable. Du moins à partir de ces données, il n’y a pas eu de recul, contrairement à ce qu’on entend souvent dire, mais la situation demeure fragile.
Anna Katharine Green, « le Conan Doyle américain », dans ses aventures éditoriales françaises
Authors: Gonon Laetitia
Published: April 2023

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) était une autrice américaine de romans policiers. Admirée par Arthur Conan Doyle et Agatha Christie, elle a vendu son premier roman (1878) à plus d’un million d’exemplaires. Le succès de sa carrière aux États-Unis a trouvé un écho en France, où un tiers de ses oeuvres a été traduit avant 1914. Cet article retrace, à travers la presse de l’époque, les débuts chaotiques de la romancière en France : publiée d’abord en feuilleton dans les quotidiens, retraduite à de multiples reprises sous des titres divers, son oeuvre est surtout associée à ses traducteurs, que la réclame érige en auteurs. Les premiers romans d’A.-K. Green traduits en français intègrent des séries de romans-feuilletons étrangers, que les éditeurs destinent aux publics féminins. Mais à partir des années 1905-1907, avec l’explosion éditoriale du roman policier, la romancière acquiert une notoriété qui la propulse dans la liste des parangons du genre, aux côtés de Conan Doyle et Maurice Leblanc. L’impératif économique qui pèse cependant sur le roman-feuilleton policier transforme les oeuvres d’A.-K. Green en autant d’objets de collections spécialisées, dans une sérialisation bien différente de celle que l’autrice avait imaginée.
« Elles sont si peu que nous ne les voyons pas. » Les femmes et la prison dans les reportages de La Vie en rose
Authors: Biron Charlotte
Published: April 2023

Cette étude porte sur un dossier intitulé « Les femmes en prison » paru en 1983 dans La Vie en rose et plus précisément sur les grands reportages écrits par Lise Moisan, Francine Pelletier et Françoise Guénette. L’analyse met en lumière la relation entre l’écriture du reportage au féminin et la représentation des femmes en prison. À travers l’examen de ces articles, il s’agira, d’une part, de se demander comment les journalistes de la revue féministe se réapproprient le reportage, genre journalistique qu’elles critiquent dès leur premier numéro. Il s’agira, d’autre part, de mesurer comment l’image des femmes en prison dans la revue se distingue du stéréotype de la femme criminelle, figure exceptionnelle surreprésentée dans l’espace médiatique, mais aussi de celui des femmes en prison dans les grands journaux d’information. Le dossier offre en effet une représentation singulière des femmes et du monde pénitentiaire. Le parallèle entre les reportages dans La Vie en rose et les discours sur les femmes en prison vise ainsi à explorer la façon dont les reporters préconisent une écriture de terrain qui met à distance un certain nombre d’idées reçues à travers une poétique féministe du reportage.
Collecting Race-Based Data in Health Research: A Critical Analysis of the Ongoing Challenges and Next Steps for Canada
Authors: Sheikh Fatima , Fox-Robichaud Alison E. , Schwartz Lisa
Published: April 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global effect. The disproportionate impact on Indigenous peoples and racialized groups has brought ethical challenges to the forefront in research and clinical practice. In Canada, the Tri-Council Policy Statement (TCPS2), and specifically the principle of justice, emphasizes additional care for individuals “whose circumstances make them vulnerable”, including Indigenous and racialized communities. In the absence of race-based data to measure and inform health research and clinical practice, we run the risk of causing more harm and contributing to ongoing injustices. However, without an accepted framework for collecting, maintaining, and reporting race-based data in Canada, more guidance is needed on how to do this well. Importantly, a framework for collecting race-based data should build on existing guidance from Indigenous and other structurally marginalized communities, the TCPS2, recommendations from the World Health Organization, and involve relevant stakeholders. In this paper, we describe historical examples of unethical studies on Indigenous and racialized groups, discuss the challenges and potential benefits of collecting race-based data, and conclude with objectives for a pan-Canadian framework to inform how race-based data is collected, stored, and accessed in health research.

An Ethics Journey: From Kant to Assisted Suicide
Authors: Gordon Michael
Published: April 2023

Most of us would agree with the almost trite saying that “life is a journey”. Of course it is, unless it ends tragically at birth, and even then it is a very short journey. All of us can describe how we got from one stage in life to another, whether personal, family, education or career. Many journeys seem to be in an almost straight line while others meander from one place to another, changing direction and alternating goals, sometimes zigging back and forth. I have had many wonderful journeys in my life; the choice to change career aspirations from engineering to medicine, the choice the study in medicine in Scotland, the choice to focus on geriatrics and then the choice to branch out into medical ethics to add more depth to clinical medicine. The early undergraduate study of philosophy planted the seed that eventually grew into my completing a Master’s in Medical Ethics; and then expanding my teaching and practice to include palliative care and end of life-decision-making, to most recently participating in the assessment of those requesting medical assistance in dying (MAID in Canada).

To our knowledge, sweet bullous syndrome has been associated with contrast media only once in the literature, which makes our case very rare. Our patient developed, 48h after the realization of an injected scanner, a bullous eruption, cocardoides lesions and a fronto-malar erythema. The skin biopsy concluded to a bullous Sweet syndrome. The patient was treated with topical corticosteroids and the lesions disappeared after 7 days. Drug-induced sweet syndrome can mimic several other diagnoses. In our case, the malar erythema is reminiscent of lupus. Drug-induced sweet is a drug hypersensitivity reaction characterized by the following clinical signs: chronological development of a skin lesion following drug exposure, fever of 38.4°C, neutrophil infiltration in the dermis without vasculitis, and resolution of symptoms following steroid use, all of which were present in our case. We report a case of bullous sweet syndrome, an aggressive form which resolved with steroids. Key words: Delayed hypersensitivity; Sweet; Bullous sweet variant; Iodinated contrast media

Mycosis fungoides (MF) has a wide spectrum of presentation. Its clinic is polymorphic, leading to several clinical variants. Chronic diffuse hyperpigmented lesions can be found in MF. We describe a case of lichenoid type mycosis fungoides. It differs from the classical form by the presence of erythematous and or pigmented scaly papules and not pruritic. The clinicopathological correlation is thus essential to establish a precise diagnosis of MF and its clinical simulators. Key words: Mycosis fungoides, Cutaneous T lymphoma, Chronic lichenoid keratosis
