Authors: Mubarok Jalaluddin , Suprapti Atiek , Sardjono Agung Budi
Published: June 2024

The first Islamic education since antiquity was carried out in the corners of mosques, commonly called Ashabussuffah. They are students who study with murshid or teachers to explore the lessons of religious science in life in the world and life after. Pesantren is an institution whose initial formation involved the active role of the surrounding community in developing local wisdom based on character education. The spatial pattern of Salafiyah Islamic Boarding Schools is unique in Nusantara Islamic Architecture because it has developed in interpreting space without fulfilling the legally applicable rules of the State's basic rules. The oldest and largest Islamic boarding school in Java is in Jombang Regency. This study aims to determine the characteristic pattern of spatial owned by the Darul 'Ulum Jombang Islamic boarding school. It can be a unique characteristic from the beginning of its formation. Until now, this research has used qualitative research methods, preceded by book references and combined with empiricists in the field and interviews with informants. Informants are community leaders, community members, students, alums, and Kiai. The results of this study divide the spatial zoning in the Darul 'Ulum Jombang Islamic boarding school: the Education Combination zone, settlement zone, pesantren zone, and free zone.
Exploring Ontology of Architectural Islamic Elements to Interpret Bliden Heritage Through Adaptive Patterns
Authors: Djazia Tiar Manel , Abdallah Farhi
Published: June 2024

This article relates the traditional housing in an Algerian Islamic city called Blida. Its rich heritage is starting to disappear due to unaware destruction. To preserve its architectural heritage, we propose an experimental ontology of knowledge. It focuses on its mixed architecture's morphological and conceptual qualities to promote a new design adapted to the historic landscape. We have developed a heuristic method. It combines an analog approach with a digital tool. This method is structured from a spatio-temporal process for perceiving architectural language. The analysis of the characteristics begins through a morphological method constitutes the data collection phase of the ontology. Interpreting conceptual qualities concerning natural light is the second step for translation: the information phase. The development of operative paradigms constitutes the third stage for the perception of the learning phase. The resulting diagram illustrates the generative process with semantic modelling in a meaningful protocol. The result of morphology is representative sheets for artefacts, informed by its Morphological context and the sustainable design. Then, the result of the interpretation is the Eco models in qualified sheets represented through adaptive patterns. This protocol forms the conceptual basis of the knowledge ontology.

VALUE-BASED MANAGEMENT CAPITALISM VS SOCIALISM PROBLEMS IN THE ISLAMIC ECONOMIC
Authors: Indrian Sasmito Adi Handaru , Joki Hartono Tri Nugroho  , Regas Panji Pratomo
Published: June 2024

The problem with both economic systems, capitalism and socialism, is that they cannot achieve the desires and aspirations of the people as actors of economic policy. Both systems prioritize profit over satisfaction or people's rights. Departing from the various problems that exist in society, the author tries to examine this problem by organizing the two Islamic economic systems. The aim is to examine the problems faced by the economic systems of capitalism and socialism in dealing with economic problems and also to see how the Islamic economic system deals with economic problems. Desk research, or "book research," is the methodology used. This is a qualitative type of research, and the data presented is more subjective and literature-focused. Unlike capitalism, which grants ownership rights over the means of production to each person, socialism does not recognize individual ownership rights and instead grants ownership rights to the collective.

MODELING OF COMMUNITY RELOCATION AFFECTED BY THE SEMERU VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN LUMAJANG REGENCY
Authors: Haq Thoriqul
Published: June 2024

The relocation program established to prepare new areas for refugees to prevent them from returning to vulnerable areas is the new area of APG Semeru. This area is referred to as temporary housing (Huntara) for victims of the Semeru eruption. The implementation process is considered highly mature as it involves many parties, including Non-Governmental Organizations such as Banser Bagana, Pramuka Peduli, and even the Indonesian Architects Association. Such synergy is crucial as it is assumed to support innovations in the new area to make it more suitable. The modeling referred to is a series of important stages carried out in disaster relocation policy management. As mentioned earlier, there are several important aspects to be examined in the effectiveness of relocation programs, namely target perceptions, collaboration, and forms of policies implemented. The research uses qualitative research model. The results of this study are: First, dynamics occur from the communication, planning, implementation to development stages. In the communication stage, differences in rationalism and empiricism regarding disasters occur. In planning, actual participation is involved, while in the implementation to development stages, it is always related to unmet needs. Second, to succeed in relocation, there are several forms of policies that must be formulated, such as emergency response policies, mitigation team formation, relocation policies, cooperation and collaboration, post-relocation, and budget policies. The initial policies implemented are related to disaster conditions, while others follow the analysis results of emergency conditions, recovery, or have entered the development stage. All policies are tailored to real-time needs analysis. Additionally, they are all formulated with policy formation, collaboration, and budget stages. Third, the policy implementation model for relocation appears to develop previous theoretical ideas or findings. Several stages such as Jitu Pasna, land clearance, infrastructure and service access, economic and social development need to be implemented with additional policy principles or elements. These include collaborative policies, budget management, and politics.

Published: June 2024

Politicization is a negative connotation for parties that carry out political campaigns through government advice or use government advice, such as schools, school children, places of worship, or government-owned buildings as allegedly happened in the city of Bandung. This study aims to find out the public's perspective on the politicization that occurs in Educational Institutions in order to be a lesson for other political parties in conducting campaigns. This learning is intended to see the perspective of the community that politicization in Educational Institutions is wrong and should not be done in accordance with the provisions of law number 7 of 2017 contained in article 280 paragraph 1 which states that campaigns are prohibited from being carried out in areas of government facilities, places of worship, and also places of education. This research uses a descriptive quantitative research method by spreading a digital questionnaire consisting of two variables to study people's views on political parties that politicize. The reason is, it can be seen that the public does not approve of the existence of political campaigns in the realm of Education, where education should not be smeared with political activity. In conclusion, political campaigns in the world of Education are not accepted and disliked by the public, the community even agrees that if there are some teachers who use their students for the purposes of political parties, then there should be revitalization and also the delivery of fines.
The Dynamic of Smoking Behavior through the Course of Tuberculosis Illness: A Hospital-Based Study in Medan, Indonesia
Authors: Safira Nanda , Wichaidit Wit , Chongsuvivatwong Virasakdi
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Smoking is associated with the prognosis of tuberculosis (TB). The diagnosis of TB in patients who smoke or recently quit smoking can be a pivotal moment that motivates them to continue quitting smoking. However, there is a paucity of information on changes in smoking status among TB patients through the course of the disease. This study presented self-report smoking status during the pre-symptomatic, post-symptomatic, intensive treatment, and continuation treatment phases among TB patients receiving treatment.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at four hospitals in Medan, Indonesia, from December 2019 to February 2020. For at least one month, healthcare workers invited TB patients who had received treatment at the hospitals’ TB-Directly Observed Treatment Shortcourse (DOTS) clinics to participate in this study. Trained enumerators collected the data through face-to-face interviews, in which the patients self-reported information on their smoking status at various phases.
Results: Of 285 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 277 gave their consent (97% participation), of whom 146 never smoked in their lifetime. Among 131 ever smokers, 88 (67%) had quit smoking before or during the pre-diagnosis phase, 65 (51.6%) of whom remained quitters throughout the course of the disease. Thirty-eight patients continued to smoke after symptom onset, and more than half of them had stopped smoking by the continuation phase of treatment.
Conclusion: Smoking cessation was relatively common after the appearance of TB symptoms and after diagnosis. However, some patients subsequently relapsed, while others were unable to quit smoking. Social desirability could have influenced the responses and should be considered in interpreting the study findings.

Published: June 2024

When vehicle driving on roads with different types of coverage and varying degrees of wear, there are oscillating processes that adversely affect the productivity of passengers and goods, limit speed and impair the reliability of the vehicle. Improving the car's performance requires an in-depth study of the relationship between the vehicle and the environment. At the design stage of the car, these studies are rationally carried out by simulation using calculated equivalent models of both the studied system and external influences on it. In this way, it is possible to more accurately assess the design decisions in terms of their effectiveness. Therefore, when studying the smoothness of the car must also take into account the ability of pneumatic tires to smooth out road bumps.
The ability of the tire to smooth the unevenness of the road microprofile is described by the transfer function of the dynamic link in the form of a differential equation, which allows to average the ordinate of the microprofile of the bearing surface on the area of contact of the pneumatic tire with the road surface.
According to the results of simulation of road roughness in the form of a random function by generating random disturbances according to the given statistical characteristics, correlation functions of ordinates of average cross section of microprofile, spectral densities of variances and values of ordinate of road roughness taking into account the ability of tires to smooth road roughness for different types That allows to increase the accuracy of calculations in the mathematical study of the car as an oscillating system, by modeling the conditions of interaction of the pneumatic tire with the bearing surface as close as possible to the real conditions of impact on the suspension of road bumps. But the most complete and reliable to determine the parameters of smoothness and choose a rational design of the suspension system of the vehicle, taking into account the operating conditions.

Authors: Woods Emily C. , Andrews Jason R. , Goldhaber-Fiebert Jeremy D.
Published: June 2024

Objectives. To determine facility-level factors associated with COVID-19 outbreaks in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers.

Methods. We obtained COVID-19 case counts at 88 ICE detention facilities from May 6, 2020, through June 21, 2021, from the COVID Prison Project. We obtained information about facility population size, facility type (dedicated to immigrants or mixed with other incarcerated populations), and facility operator (public vs private contractor) from third-party sources. We defined the threshold for a COVID-19 outbreak as a cumulative 3-week incidence of 10% or more of the detained population.

Results. Sixty-three facilities (72%) had at least 1 outbreak. Facilities with any outbreak were significantly more likely to be privately operated ( P < .001), to have larger populations (113 vs 37; P = .002), and to have greater changes in their population size over the study period (‒56% vs −26%; P < .001).

Conclusions. Several facility-level factors were associated with the occurrence of COVID-19 outbreaks in ICE facilities.

Public Health Implications. Structural and organizational factors that promote respiratory infection spread in ICE facilities must be addressed to protect detainee health. ( Am J Public Health. 2024;114(9):909–912. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307704 )

Published: June 2024

This research examines the relationship between Islam as a world religion and Patuntung as a traditional religion adhered to by the Ammatoa indigenous community in Kajang, South Sulawesi. The relationship between these two religions is not only oppositional or harmonious but also dynamic and negotiating. This research uses a qualitative method with a 'New Ethnography' approach, which pays attention to three aspects: self-reflection, polyvocality, and testimony. The findings of this research show that the meeting between Islam and Patuntung produces a hybrid reality, namely Sallang, which is basically a different Islam and another Patuntung. Sallang is a new reality that emerged from the meeting between Islam and Patuntung. This is clearly seen from Ammatoa's belief that the Koran is 40 juz, 10 juz revealed in Kajang, and 30 juz revealed in Mecca. This research provides a new contribution to the study of the relationship between world religions and indigenous religions, especially in Indonesia.

Published: June 2024

This article aims to explain how cultural misaccommodation of rituals in local communities can occur. Bissu as a component of society comes along with negotiations to maintain the rituals and religiosity that have shaped their identity. The presence of bissu in the ritual procession is an authority that they have culturally. Throughout the history of civilisation, bissu were the main, sacred and central party in the ritual procession. However, what happened on Bone's 62nd anniversary was a moment when bissu were not involved. This article is based on data obtained from online searches. News and article searches were conducted as a basis for analysing the cultural misaccommodation of local communities. This article shows that the misaccommodation of bissu in the ritual procession is a weakening of identity and existence. The government in this case becomes the party that eliminates bissu from its roots, the dynamics of polarisation of the ruling group along with a set of laws make bissu misaccommodation a hegemony. Along with the society that places bissu as a minority party, both socially and culturally. Therefore, it is necessary to affirm the authority of bissu as a party that maintains cultural sustainability.

Authors: Conegundes Ana Flávia , Garcia Isadora , Miranda Bárbara , Borges Arthur , Sanglard André , Ferreira Gabriel , Borges Rafael , Simões e Silva Ana Cristina
Published: June 2024

The Prune-Belly (Eagle-Barrett) syndrome (PBS) is a congenital and genetically heterogeneous
disease, more prevalent in males, defined by the clinical triad (1) deficiency of abdominal
muscles, (2) bilateral cryptorchidism, and (3) urinary tract abnormalities. The abdomen of an infant
with PBS has a typical appearance, similar to the aspect of a prune, which gives it its name.
Although the etiology of this disorder is still unknown, numerous theories, mutations, and genetic
disturbances have been proposed to explain the origin of PBS. Prognosis can differ a lot from one
patient to another, since this condition has a wide spectrum of clinical presentation. Despite being
a rare condition, the importance of PBS should not be underestimated, in the light of the potential
of the disorder to lead to chronic kidney disease and other severe complications. In that regard,
this review gathers the most up-to-date knowledge about the etiopathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis,
management and prognosis of PBS.
Antihyperlipidemic Activity of Leaves of Malvaviscus arboreus Dil.Ex.cav
in High-fat Diet (HFD) Induce Hyperlipidemia in Wistar Rats
Authors: Kumar Tirath , Rastogi Mansi , kaur Virender , Srivastava Rajnish
Published: June 2024

Aim::

The present study aimed to explore the therapeutic efficacy of an ethanolic extract
of Malvaviscus arboreus Dil.Ex.cav against HFD-induced hyperlipidemia in experimental
rats.

Background::

Dietary alterations influence normal metabolic function and provide significant
risks for cardiovascular disease and oxidative stress. The likelihood of dyslipidemia is related to
the intake of HFD and is associated with increased LDL and VLDL cholesterol in humans. This
condition also increases the risk of atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hepatosteatosis.

Objective::

The objective of the present study is to determine whether the EEMA can help in reducing
elevated levels of lipids (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) in HFD-induced hyperlipidemia
in Wistar rats.

Methods::

Normal control (Group I) receives a normal standard pellet. HFD was given to all the
experimental groups for 15 days without any treatment to achieve hyperlipidemia. Except for the
negative control group, the positive control, the low dose (300 mg/kg), and the high dose (600
mg/kg), EEMA groups were treated for the next 16th to 28th days along with the HFD. The lipid
profile (TC, TG, HDL, LDL, and VLDL) and liver markers (AST, ALT, and ALP) were estimated
at the end of the study on the 29th day.

Results::

The oral administration of EEMA offered significant dose-dependent protection against
HFD-induced hyperlipidemia. It significantly improved the lipid profile and liver function biomarkers
as compared to a negative control group, with the maximum effects recorded by the
EEMA at 600 mg/kg b.w.

Conclusion::

The present study revealed that the EEMA protects against HFD-induced hyperlipidemia.
Phytoconstituents Ameliorates Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive
Impairments: A Review of Preclinical Studies
Authors: Biswkarma Vishal Kumar , Wadhawan Swati
Published: June 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD) stands as a pressing global health challenge with limited
therapeutic options. In pursuit of alternative interventions, this review critically examines the potential
of phytoconstituents in alleviating AD-related cognitive impairments through a comprehensive
analysis of preclinical studies. The diverse and intricate pathogenesis of AD calls for
multifaceted approaches, and phytoconstituents present a promising avenue due to their multifunctional
properties. These natural compounds, derived from various plant sources, have been
shown to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neurogenesis-promoting activities, along
with the ability to modulate amyloid-beta aggregation. A review of the literature highlights a
broad spectrum of phytoconstituents, including polyphenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids,
which have demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various animal models of AD. Despite
the consistency in positive outcomes across studies, challenges emerge from the variability in
dosages, administration routes, and extraction methods employed. The transition from preclinical
findings to clinical applications demands a meticulous assessment of safety, pharmacokinetics,
and dosing regimens, as well as consideration of individual patient characteristics. The review
emphasizes the need for standardized protocols in future investigations to facilitate reliable comparisons
and evidence-based conclusions. While promising, the translation of these preclinical
successes to human trials necessitates a cautious approach guided by robust scientific inquiry.
Collaboration between diverse disciplines, including botany, pharmacology, neurology, and clinical
medicine, is pivotal for refining our understanding of phytoconstituent mechanisms, optimizing
their delivery, and ultimately harnessing their potential for AD therapeutics.

Introduction: Social networks, as an important dimension of social capital, contribute positively to people’s subjective well-being. By having a support network of friends, family or neighbors in difficult moments of life, people can experience greater happiness. Objective: The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between physical social networks and the subjective wellbeing of heads of household in Ecuador. Methodology: Data from the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment (ENEMDU) of Ecuador and econometric techniques such as the ordered probit model and quantile regression were used to explore the existing heterogeneity along the distribution of the well-being variable. Results: The results reveal that there is a positive and heterogeneous relationship between the variables studied, with the magnitude of the correlation being greater for unhappy heads of household. That is, physical social networks improve well-being in the most unhappy individuals. Conclusions: Policy implications highlight that social and recreational centers should be implemented and strengthened, and the quality of services and physical spaces where physical social networks are built should be improved. For example, sports spaces, cultural events and collective activities should be promoted where people can build social networks that lead to social cohesion and promote well-being

Objective: To evaluate the quality, reliability and content of YouTube videos in Portuguese about dental trauma. Method: An infodemiological study was developed in which the first 60 videos found on YouTube with the terms “dental traumatism”, “dental trauma” and “broken tooth” were analyzed. Repeated videos, longer than one hour, in a language other than Portuguese, not intended for the lay public, resolution of questions, songs, interviews, shorts, and other subjects were excluded. The content of the videos was rated using a 23-point scale that classified them into low, moderate, and high content. Reliability was assessed using the modified DISCERN scale and the overall quality was assessed using the Global Quality Score (GQS) scale. The numbers of likes, dislikes, comments and engagement were also accounted. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney and Spearman’s correlation test (α= 5%). Result: A total of 55 videos were included in the study. Most were posted by healthcare professionals (92.7%) and just over half (63.7%) were of good overall quality. There were moderate, positive, and statistically significant correlations between DISCERN and GQS scores (r=0.454), duration (r=0.575), and trauma content (r=0.510). Overall quality correlated moderately, positively, and significantly with content scores (r=0.604) and video length (r=0.467). Conclusion: A significant proportion of Portuguese videos on YouTube about dental trauma had low content, quality and reliability information.

The potential and selective inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) are therapeutically useful in treating type 2 diabetes. N-Benzoyl-L-glutamyl-[4-phosphono(difluoromethyl)]-L-phenylalanine-[4-phosphono(difluoro-methyl)]-L-phenylalanineamide (BzN-EJJ-amide) (BGD) which is the ligand of 1LQF protein code extracted from protein data bank (PDB) is an inhibitor of PTP-1B that indicates selectivity over several protein tyrosine phosphatases. In this research, the interaction between the anti-diabetic drug of BzN-EJJ-amide and armchair single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) has been investigated based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) theory to design, improve and expand carbon nanotube drug carriers as the applied sensors in drug delivery systems. Therefore, physico-chemical properties of optimized geometry, quantum molecular descriptors, topological parameters, and frontier molecular orbitals of different drug arrangements on CNT at the highest equilibrium at CAM-B3LYP/6-311+G (2d,p) level of theory have been explored. The results of Nuclear Magnetic resonance (NMR), Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), Infrared (IR), and charge distributions have indicated that BzN-EJJ-amide → (5, 5) armchair SWCNT complex presents the position of active sites of labeled N, O, P, and F atoms in this linkage, which transfer the charge of electrons in polar bisphosphonate agent of BzN-EJJ-amide toward (5, 5) armchair SWCNT sensor. Evaluation of the results obtained from the electrostatic potential (ESP) map, Frontier orbitals of HOMO, LUMO, and UV-VIS spectroscopy analysis have exhibited that the direction of electron movement is generally from drug molecule to carbon nanotube as the sensor for BzN-EJJ-amide anti-diabetes drug.
Nutrients and Foods Recommended for Blood Pressure Control on Twitter in Japan: Content Analysis

Background

Management and prevention of hypertension are important public health issues. Healthy dietary habits are one of the modifiable factors. As Twitter (subsequently rebranded X) is a digital platform that can influence public eating behavior, there is a knowledge gap regarding the information about foods and nutrients recommended for blood pressure control and who disseminates them on Twitter.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the nature of the information people are exposed to on Twitter regarding nutrients and foods for blood pressure control.

Methods

A total of 147,898 Japanese tweets were extracted from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. The final sample of 2347 tweets with at least 1 retweet was manually coded into categories of food groups, nutrients, user characteristics, and themes. The number and percentage of tweets, retweets, and themes in each category were calculated.

Results

Of the 2347 tweets, 80% (n=1877) of tweets mentioned foods, which were categorized into 17 different food groups. Seasonings and spices, including salt, were most frequently mentioned (1356/1877, 72.2%). This was followed by vegetable and fruit groups. The 15 kinds of nutrients were mentioned in 1566 tweets, with sodium being the largest proportion at 83.1% (n=1301), followed by potassium at 8.4% (n=132). There was misinformation regarding salt intake for hypertension, accounting for 40.8% (n=531) of tweets referring to salt, including recommendations for salt intake to lower blood pressure. In total, 75% (n=21) of tweets from “doctors” mentioned salt reduction is effective for hypertension control, while 31.1% (n=74) of tweets from “health, losing weight, and beauty-related users,” 25.9% (n=429) of tweets from “general public,” and 23.5% (n=4) tweets from “dietitian or registered dietitian” denied salt reduction for hypertension. The antisalt reduction tweets accounted for 31.5% (n=106) of the most disseminated tweets related to nutrients and foods for blood pressure control.

Conclusions

The large number of tweets in this study indicates a high interest in nutrients and foods for blood pressure control. Misinformation asserting antisalt reduction was posted primarily by the general public and self-proclaimed health experts. The number of tweets from nutritionists, registered dietitians, and doctors who were expected to correct misinformation and promote salt reduction was relatively low, and their messages were not always positive toward salt reduction. There is a need for communication strategies to combat misinformation, promote correct information on salt reduction, and train health care professionals to effectively communicate evidence-based information on this topic.
