Authors: Коваленко Євген , Гавриленко Олексій
Published: August 2023

Стаття присвячена дослідженню міжнародного та національного вимірів оцінювання державної енергетичної безпеки України, визначенню ролі надмірного споживання енергії в системі глобальної трансформації енергетичної системи. На основі порівняльного аналізу Індексу енергетичного переходу України та країн ЄС зроблено висновок про недостатню ефективність державної енергетичної політики у напрямку реформування державного енергетичного ринку України та приведення його у відповідність до вимог міжнародної спільноти. Одним із індикаторів оцінювання ефективності енергетичної політики країни визначено Індекс енергетичної прозорості. На основі ретроспективного аналізу позиціонування України за Індексом енергетичної прозорості зроблено висновок про суттєве його зниження в період військових дій на території України. Структурний аналіз Індексу енергетичної прозорості засвідчив, що найменшою прозорістю характеризуються сектори видобутку та споживання нафти й рідкого палива та енергетичного вугілля.
УПРАВЛІНСЬКІ РІШЕННЯ ЩОДО ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ПОДАТКОВОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ У СФЕРІ НЕПРЯМОГО ОПОДАТКУВАННЯ

У статті обґрунтовано науково-методичні положення і практичні рекомендації щодо удосконалення діючого механізму оподаткування податком на додану вартість. Визначено економічну суть оподаткування доданої вартості. Встановлено, що у ринкових умовах господарювання податок на додану вартість є активним інструментом фінансової політики, адже саме за допомогою нього можна ефективно балансувати між виконанням регулюючої та фіскальної функцій. Досліджено нормативно-правове забезпечення адміністрування податку на додану вартість та його використання для прийняття управлінських рішень. Проведено оцінку правильності нарахування та повноти і своєчасності сплати до бюджету податку на додану вартість на підприємстві. Здійснено аналіз складання та подання звітності з податку на додану вартість для узагальнення обліково-економічної інформації та прийняття управлінських рішень щодо ефективності податкової політики підприємства. Розглянуто специфіку нарахування податку на додану вартість в умовах воєнного стану, а саме: на період до припинення або скасування воєнного стану на території України платників податків звільнено від передбаченої відповідальності за дотримання термінів сплати податків і зборів, подання звітності, реєстрації у відповідних реєстрах податкових накладних; оподатковування операції з ввезення на митну територію України та постачання на митній території України здійснюється у розмірі 7 %. Питання функціонування податку на додану вартість, як частини податкової системи України, дослідження особливостей обліку та звітності є актуальним сьогодні. Зокрема, особливості організації обліку та звітності; аспекти обліку при придбанні товарів; особливості формування та обліку податкового кредиту; недоліки, які супроводжують процес обліку та адміністрування та пошук шляхів покращення ситуації та науково-практичне значення впровадження інформаційних технологій в обліку податку на додану вартість. Практичне значення одержаних результатів полягає в підтвердженні ефективності застосування в Україні податку на додану вартість як основного бюджетоутворюючого непрямого податку на споживання та наданні рекомендацій щодо підвищення ефективності стягнення податку на додану вартість.

Authors: Волошин Володимир
Published: August 2023

Встановлено, що вітчизняні заклади вищої освіти поступово інтегруються у світовий науковий простір, працюють в умовах зростаючої конкуренції. Суттєвий вплив на їх кількість справляє потенційна кількість майбутніх здобувачів вищої освіти – бакалаврів, магістрів, аспірантів. З метою дослідження закладів вищої освіти в якості залежної змінної моделі у було розглянуто показник їх кількості в Україні. У якості пояснюючих змінних, виходячи з економічних міркувань та міркувань доступності інформації, було відібрано показники: абітурієнти, уперше прийняті до закладів вищої освіти; випущено бакалаврів та магістрів; кількість аспірантів. Використано шкалу Чеддока для визначення найбільш взаємозалежних показників. Під час тестування масиву пояснюючих змінних на мультиколінеарність та процедури покрокового відбору пояснюючих змінних було виявлено неповну мультиколінеарність. Розраховано коефіцієнт кореляції, що має значення 0,719. Тобто можна стверджувати що на 71,9% можливо пояснити залежну змінну «кількість ЗВО» незалежною змінною як х-особи, уперше прийняті до ЗВО, а на 28,1% іншими випадковими факторами. Під час виконання специфікації економетричної було розглянуто модель багатофакторної регресії. Було проведено теоретичне та статистичне обґрунтування економетричної моделі, проведено тестування моделі на мультиколінеарність, функціональної форми економетричної моделі, відбір суттєвих пояснюючих змінних до економетричної моделі та обрано за основу модель множинної регресії. Проведено графічний аналіз залишків. З ймовірністю 90% можна стверджувати, що при збільшенні кількості абітурієнтів уперше прийнятих до ЗВО на 1000 осіб мінімальне збільшення кількості ЗВО буде 0,401 одиниць, а максимальне 0,61 одиниць. При P=95% можна стверджувати, що при збільшенні кількості абітурієнтів уперше прийнятих до ЗВО на 1000 осіб мінімальне збільшення кількості ЗВО буде 0,39 одиниць, а максимальне 0,63 одиниць. З ймовірністю 99% можна стверджувати, що при збільшенні кількості абітурієнтів уперше прийнятих до ЗВО на 1000 осіб мінімальне збільшення кількості ЗВО буде 0,34 одиниць, а максимальне 0,68 одиниць.
РЕАЛІЗОВАНІСТЬ ОСОБИСТІСНИХ ЦІННОСТЕЙ ЯК ОДИН З ЧИННИКІВ САМООЦІНКИ
Authors: Плескач Богдан , Майданська Катерина
Published: August 2023

Стаття присвячена вивченню взаємозв’язку між цінностями та самооцінкою. Аналіз проведених в цій області досліджень показав, що цінності не лише виступають у якості еталонів з якими особа себе порівнює. Пріоритетні цінності, також, визначають напрямок в якому особа намагається вдосконалюватись. Після того, як особа досягає певних успіхів по втіленню цінностей відбувається посилення самооцінки. Так, в дослідженні Н.А. Самойлик було встановлено, що високий рівень цінностей (в певній сфері) корелював з високою самооцінкою пов’язаною з цією сферою. В представленому у статті дослідженні вивчалось як важливість цінності та здатність (або неможливість) втілити цю цінність в житті відображається на самооцінці. Отримані результати показують, що: 1) досягнуті пріоритетні цінності підвищують самооцінку; 2) не реалізовані в житті пріоритетні цінності – погіршують самооцінку.
The Arabic Definite Article: A Challenge Facing Advanced L2 Learners
Authors: A . Alkohlani Fatima
Published: August 2023

One of the most difficult challenges of learning Arabic as a foreign language is mastering the definite article system. Research in the area of Arabic L2 acquisition shows that the Arabic definite article al- ‘the’ poses serious difficulties for adult learners even at advance levels. This article is among the most frequent words of the Arabic language, and has a crucial role in maintaining text cohesion and coherence. Because of this importance and high frequency, al- ‘the’ has a huge effect on L2 learners’ language competence. The present study examines the written errors in advanced non-native Arabic learners’ use of the definite article in order to identify the most difficult areas for them, explor possible factors contributing to these difficulties, and suggest strategies that could reduce their effect. The data examined cosists of 89 written text extracted from the Arabic Learner Corpus (ALC) v2, compiled by Alfaifi, Atwel, & Hedaya (2014). A general description of the errors is provided after they are identified and classified. The study found both stuructural and semantic areas of difficulty in the learners’ usage of al, these areas were then examined to explore possible factors causing this persistent problem. Based on the analysis, some strategies to overcome these difficulties were suggested.

Published: August 2023

The aim of this research is to determine the important variables that predict the PISA 2018 reading comprehension achievement score of countries with different achievement levels, using 34 independent variables obtained from the student questionnaire given to the students who participated in PISA in 2018. For this purpose, 79 countries that participated PISA were ranked according to their success percentages then, these countries were sorted into lower, middle and upper group countries. A sample of lower, middle and upper group countries was formed then, three countries were selected from each of the lower group, middle group and upper group countries and a sample of lower, middle and upper group countries was formed. Data mining analyzes were carried out on the samples obtained by using the Classification and Regression Tree and Random Forest methods. It has been observed that the number of important variables that predict reading comprehension success can be reduced from 34 to three to eight. Like this; Data mining classification prediction models, which can predict the success level of PISA, were obtained by using a small number of variables. It has been determined that the models obtained have an acceptable level of predictive performance in predicting success in three categories (low, medium-high). The most important predictor variables obtained from the models are information and communication technologies resources, perception of reading difficulty, professional status expected from the student, perception of difficulty in the PISA test, reading pleasure, weekly test language learning time, disciplinary climate, socio-economic status index.

Published: August 2023

The effects of interior headland restoration on estuarine sediment transport processes were assessed through process-based numerical modeling. Three proposed interior headland restoration scenarios in the Grand Bay estuary (Mississippi/Alabama) were modeled using Delft3D to understand impacts on suspended sediment concentrations, bed level morphology, and sediment fluxes under present-day conditions and a sea level rise (SLR) of 0.5 m, representing a high projection of SLR by the year 2050. Model results showed localized differences in bed levels near the restored features after a year of simulated morphologic change. The restored headland features acted as a sediment source to the immediate surroundings while also providing some non-significant sheltering effect of backshore shoals and marsh shorelines. Sediment fluxes were sensitive to wind directions and the presence of the restored headlands. However, regardless of wind direction, mean sea level, or restoration action, the greatest sediment fluxes were always export fluxes from the estuary, which were further increased with increased sea level. Suspended sediment concentrations were highly influenced by SLR in a non-linear manner. Sediment concentrations both increased and decreased depending on depth under SLR. Furthermore, SLR allowed for the suspension and deposition of sediments on the marsh platform. Overall, the influence of SLR was more impactful to changing sediment dynamics than the influence of the restoration features.
Machine learning-based identification of glycosyltransferase-related mRNAs for improving outcomes and the anti-tumor therapeutic response of gliomas
Authors: Zhang Chunyu , Zhou Wei
Published: August 2023

Background: Glycosyltransferase participates in glycosylation modification, and glycosyltransferase alterations are involved in carcinogenesis, progression, and immune evasion, leading to poor outcomes. However, in-depth studies on the influence of glycosyltransferase on clinical outcomes and treatments are lacking.

Methods: The analysis of differentially expressed genes was performed using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 database. A total of 10 machine learning algorithms were introduced, namely, random survival forest, elastic network, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, Ridge, stepwise Cox, CoxBoost, partial least squares regression for Cox, supervised principal components, generalized boosted regression modeling, and survival support vector machine. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was performed to explore signaling pathways regulated by the signature. Cell-type identification by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts was used for estimating the fractions of immune cell types.

Results: Here, we analyzed the genomic and expressive alterations in glycosyltransferase-related genes in gliomas. A combination of 80 machine learning algorithms was introduced to establish the glycosyltransferase-related mRNA signature (GRMS) based on 2,030 glioma samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program, Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas, Rembrandt, Gravendeel, and Kamoun cohorts. The GRMS was identified as an independent hazardous factor for overall survival and exhibited stable and robust performance. Notably, gliomas in the high-GRMS subgroup exhibited abundant tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and tumor mutation burden values, increased expressive levels of hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 and CD274, and improved progression-free survival when subjected to anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Conclusion: The GRMS may act as a powerful and promising biomarker for improving the clinical prognosis of glioma patients.

Published: August 2023

Drought stress is also one of the important abiotic factors limiting plant growth and development, and the global temperature is rising year by year, resulting in a dry environment in most terrestrial forests, which will continue to affect the growth, development and reproduction of tree species in forests. European birch(Betula pendula Roth.) native to Europe, introduced to the mountains of eastern Liaoning in 1981 (annual precipitation of about 800mm), European birch relative to downy birch (B. pubescens)has strong adaptability and drought tolerance and cold tolerance, can grow normally in eastern Liaoning, but it is easy to be affected by drought at the seedling stage and cause death, many arid and semi-arid areas have no introduction and practical application of European birch, and there is less research on the drought resistance of European birch. This study used different concentrations of PEG-6000 treatment to simulate drought stress and clarify the changes of various growth physiological parameters and photosynthetic characteristics of European birch seedlings under drought stress, in order to investigate the physiological response mechanism of European birch under drought stress . This study used different concentrations of PEG-6000 treatment to simulate drought stress and clarify the changes of various growth physiological parameters and photosynthetic characteristics of European birch seedlings under drought stress, in order to investigate the physiological response mechanism of European birch under drought stress. The findings demonstrated that stress duration and increasing PEG concentration had a highly significant impact on the growth traits of European birch seedlings (p<0.01); With increasing stress concentration and stress time, antioxidant enzyme activity, membrane lipid peroxidation, and osmoregulatory substance concentrations increased significantly (p<0.01); With increasing stress concentration and duration, photosynthetic parameters and pigments decreased highly significantly (p<0.01); Under different PEG concentration treatments, the anatomical structure of seedling leaves changed more noticeably; there was a significant effect (p <0.05) on the change in mean stomatal length and a highly significant effect (p<0.01) on the change in mean stomatal structure. The study's findings serve as a foundation for the selection and breeding of new drought-tolerant European birch species, as well as a theoretical underpinning for the use of this species in landscaping and the promotion of new drought-tolerant species in China.
Effect of roadside trees on pedestrians’ psychological evaluation of traffic noise
Authors: Nguyen Thulan , Morinaga Makoto
Published: August 2023

Introduction

This study aims to investigate the interplay between roadside trees and pedestrians’ assessment of traffic noise and comfort. The study examines the potential effects of visual and design elements of roadside trees on the overall soundscape comfort.

Methods

The study design involves a systematic exploration of different conditions, encompassing traffic volume, distance from sound source, and tree density. For each combination, two experimental scenarios are created: (1) participants experience a binaural sound recording exclusively, and (2) participants experience the same binaural recording while concurrently immersed in a virtual reality (VR) video.

Results

Analysis of participants’ noise perception, measured using a quiet-noisy scale, reveals no significant disparity between conditions. This suggests that the mere presence of roadside trees does not necessarily lead to a perceived reduction in noise loudness. However, evaluation of sound intensity exposes a notable discrepancy between low and medium tree density levels. Furthermore, the study confirms the impact of roadside tree visibility, with scenes containing trees yielding more positive evaluations compared to sound-only scenarios. Remarkably, the absence of trees in the roadside scene garners consistent evaluations across both experimental conditions. Significantly, higher roadside tree density in conjunction with the combined sound and VR video condition prompts a more favorable assessment than the sound-only scenario.

Discussion

While the study indicates that roadside trees might not substantially mitigate perceived physical noise levels, their influence on the psychological well-being of urban inhabitants is considerable. The findings highlight that even though these trees may not overtly diminish noise, they hold substantial potential to enhance the overall comfort and well-being of city residents. This underscores the multifaceted benefits of integrating green spaces into urban design for improving the quality of urban soundscapes and residents’ experiences.

Authors: Ramos-Martín Javier , Gómez Sánchez-Lafuente Carlos , Martínez-García Ana I. , Castillo-Jiménez Pilar , Guzmán-Parra José , Moreno-Küstner Berta
Published: August 2023

Background

The aims of this study were to describe the use of health services by patients attended for suicidal behavior by out-of-hospital emergency services and to identify the variables associated with the repetition of this behavior in Spain.

Methods

An analytical, observational, retrospective study was carried out. A total of 554 patients attended by the mobile teams of the Primary Care Emergency (mt-PCES) of the Malaga Health District (Spain), after being coordinated by the 061 Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) were analyzed.

Results

Of the total, 61.9% of the patients were women and the mean age was 43.5 years. Ninety-six percent (N = 532) of the patients attended by mt-PCES were transferred to hospital emergency services. Regarding clinical decision, of those transferred 436 persons (82%) were discharged home. Of the total sample 25.5% (N = 141) were referred to primary care, while 69% (N = 382) were referred to outpatient mental health care. Regarding follow up in the 6 months after being seen by emergency services, among those referred to a mental health facility, 64.4% (N = 246) attended the follow-up appointment while out of the total sample only 50.5% (N = 280) attended a follow-up appointment with an outpatient mental health service. Finally, it should be noted that 23.3% presented a relapse of suicidal behavior in the 6 months following index episode. The variables associated with repetition of suicidal behavior were older age, greater number of previous suicide attempts and having any contact with mental health services in the following 6 months.

Conclusion

We believe that selective suicide prevention initiatives should be designed to target the population at risk of suicide, especially those receiving both out-of-hospital and in-hospital emergency services.
“Healthcare should be the same for everyone”: perceived inequities in therapeutic trajectories of adult patients with lung cancer in Chile, a qualitative study
Authors: Campaña Carla , Cabieses Báltica , Obach Alexandra , Vezzani Francisca
Published: August 2023

Background

Globally, it has been reported that different social determinants of health affect health outcomes in lung cancer (LC). Research on the therapeutic trajectories of patients (TTP) is a novel field for identifying barriers and facilitators in health. The objective of this study was to reveal perceived differences in TTP with LC in Chile according to selected social determinants of health (SDH) and the experiences of patients, health professionals, and civil society leaders.

Methods

This is a qualitative paradigm, one case-study design. Online semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients with LC, health professionals, and civil society leaders. The strategies for the recruitment process included social networks, civil society organizations, health professionals, and the snowball technique. A thematic analysis was carried out.

Results

Selected SDH impact LC's TTP in Chile, particularly concerning health system access, health services, information, and patient navigation experiences. The analysis of the experiences of the participants allowed us to identify barriers related to the selected SDH in three stages of the TTP: initiation, examinations, and diagnosis and treatment. Individuals with limited education, those residing outside the capital, women, and those in the public health system encountered more barriers throughout their TTP.

Discussion

Study findings suggest that being a woman with low education, from the public health system, and not from the capital might represent one of the most powerful intersections for experiencing barriers to effective healthcare in LC in Chile. It is necessary to monitor the TTP from an SDH perspective to guarantee the rights of access, opportunity, quality, and financial protection.
EEG signatures of low back and knee joint pain during movement execution: a short report
Authors: Gervasio Sabata , Zarei Ali Asghar , Mrachacz-Kersting Natalie
Published: August 2023

Chronic musculoskeletal pain has a high prevalence between European citizens, affecting their quality of life and their ability to work. The plastic changes associated with the occurrence of chronic musculoskeletal pain are still not fully understood. The current short report investigated the possible changes in brain activity caused by pain during movement in two of the most common musculoskeletal pain disorders in Denmark, knee pain and low back pain. Electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded from 20 participants (5 participants with knee pain, 5 with low back pain and 10 healthy controls). Participants with pain performed a movement that evoked pain in the area of interest, and the healthy controls performed the same movement. Electromyographic (EMG) signals were also collected to identify movement initiation. No differences were observed in brain activity of participants with pain and healthy controls during rest. During movement execution, though, participants with pain showed significantly higher event related synchronization in the alpha and beta bands compared to healthy controls. These changes could be related to higher cognitive processing, possibly due to the attempt of suppressing the pain. These results highlight the importance of assessing cortical activity during movement to reveal plastic changes due to musculoskeletal pain. This adds to our knowledge regarding plastic changes in cortical activity related to musculoskeletal pain in different locations. Such knowledge could help us identify neurophysiological markers for clinical changes and contribute to the development of new treatment approaches based on neuromodulation such as neurofeedback.

Literacy is an important consideration in the development of new staff orientation and ongoing training programs for Extension paraprofessional educators. In a project to develop core competencies for nutrition paraprofessionals, investigators learned that some of the competencies, (developed by a panel of Extension professionals) were not expressed using terminology understood by paraprofessionals. Implications for developing effective training programs include using terminology understood by paraprofessionals, engaging in intentional dialog with paraprofessionals to determine common language, and teaching paraprofessionals new terminology when necessary.
SUMBANGSIH DINASTI MAMLŪK UNTUK PERADABAN
Authors: Zaimuddin Zaimuddin
Published: August 2023

Dinasti Mamlūk memimpin umat Islam pada fase terberat dalam sejarahnya, kala tentara Mongol berhasil menghancurkan Baghdad, ibu kota peradaban Islam, pada tahun 656 H. Dinasti Mamlūk berdiri pada tahun 648H. sampai tahun 922H. (1250-1571M), atau selama 274 tahun. Dinasti Mamlūk dibangun atas dasar militer, karena mamlūk adalah budak yang dibeli saat muda lalu diberi pendidikan militer, untuk kemudian dibebaskan dan diberi peran militer atau pemerintahan.

Peran-peran besar dinasti Mamlūk jarang dijadikan objek penelitian sehingga banyak yang melupakannya. Setidaknya ada lima bidang kemajuan penting yang dicapai oleh dinasti Mamlūk, yaitu dalam bidang militer, pemerintahan, keagamaan, keilmuan, dan budaya. Dalam bidang militer, jasa terbesar dinasti Mamlūk adalah keberhasilannya mengalahkan pasukan Mongol dan mengembalikan kilau peradaban Islam. Dalam bidang pemerintahan, dinasti ini mengenalkan kepemimpinan wanita  dan kepemimpinan mantan budak. Dalam bidang keagamaan, pada dinasti ini berkembang ajaran tasawuf dan semakin kokohnya ajaran Ahlu al-Sunnah wa al-Jama`ah dengan dibangunnya pusat keagamaan dan keilmuan. Begitu juga kemajuan dalam bidang keilmuan dapat dilihat dari hasil karya ilmiah yang dilahirkan di masa ini. Sedangkan dalam bidang budaya, dinasti Mamlūk mempromosikan peringatan hari-hari besar Islam, seperti maulid Nabi Muhammad
HAKIKAT PERANG DALAM ISLAM (STUDI LIVING HADIS QITᾹL)
Authors: Rafida Andi
Published: August 2023

Abstract

This research attempts to study the hadith of war narrated by Imam Bukhāri. The results of this study indicate that war has two meanings, namely; physical and non-physical war. Physical war is divided into two, namely; War/ Jihad Mubada'ah and War/ Jihad Dafa'. Mubada'ah war is not justified in Islam because all humans currently live as brothers and sisters as fellow human beings. There are no Muslim or infidel labels in matters of muamalah / social interaction. As for war that aims to defend against enemy attacks, it is permissible to maintain self-dignity and religion. The humans allowed to fight are the infidels who attacked Islam. As well as wars that are allowed are wars that aim to survive and defend themselves when attacked by the enemy.

Abstrak

Penelitian ini berusaha untuk mengkaji hadis perang yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Bukhāri. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perang memiliki dua arti, yaitu; perang fisik dan non fisik. Perang fisik terbagi menjadi dua yaitu; Perang/ Jihad Mubada’ah dan Perang/ Jihad Dafa’. Perang Mubada’ah tidak dibenarkan dalam islam karena seluruh manusia saat ini hidup bersaudara sebagai sesame manusia. Tidak ada label muslim maupun kafir dalam urusan muamalah / interaksi sosial. Adapun perang yang bertujuan untuk bertahan dari serangan musuh, diperbolehkan untuk menjaga martabat diri maupun agama. Manusia yang diizinkan untuk diperangi adalah orang kafir yang menyerang islam. Serta peperangan yang diizinkan adalah peperangan yang bertujuan untuk bertahan dan membela diri saat diserang oleh musuh.

Ketimpangan gender pada saat ini masih tejadi disebabkan karena berasal dari pemikiran turun temurun sejak dulu dimana perempuan lebih rendah posisinya dibandingkan laki-laki, tidak hanya di tanah air Indonesia namun ini terjadi di seluruh dunia, Tujuan artikel ini menjelaskan hukum iddah dan ihdad Pendekatan Maqāṣid As-syarī'ah Kontemporer Jasser Auda, dimana dalam qaidah fiqh klasik ketentuan iddah dan ihdad, pembatasan serta perbandingan peluang antara wanita serta pria dalam kesempatan untuk menikah. Terlihat hal bertentangan dengan salah satu butir konvensi CEDAW. upaya Indonesia dalam menangani masalah ini yaitu pada tahun 1980 Indonesia menandatangani Konvensi CEDAW melalui UUD- nomor 7 Tahun 1984 Ratifikasi Konvensi PBB tentang Penghapusan segala Bentuk Diskriminasi terhadap Perempuan (disingkat sebagai Konvensi Wanita). Indonesia menjadikan wanita selaku masyarakat negeri ataupun sumber daya insani memiliki peran hak serta peranan dan peluang yang serupa dengan laki- laki guna berfungsi dalam pembangunan di seluruh aspek.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode (library search). setelah diadakan proses telaah terhadap teori maqashid jaseer auda dalam konteks iddah maka bisa disimpulkan bawha eksistensi iddah tetap bisa memberikan maslahat sehingga wajib dilakasanakan. Adapun dalam konsep CEDAW, iddah dan ihdad sejatinya bermakna perlindungan untuk hak wanita. Riset ini memverifikasi jika Hukum `iddah dan Ihdad dalam islam adalah wujud  kefleksibelan hukum Agama Islam.

Background: The standard screening test for detecting cervical lesions and cancer is a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. Carcinoma of cervix is one of
the leading cause of death of female population in developing countries. By virtue of its accessibility,cancer of cervix can be readily diagnosed
even in its preinvasive stage. If treated in the earlier stages the patient can often be cured of the disease. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence
of abnormal cervical cytology cases and its correlation with histopathological ndings. This was a retrospective study Materials and Methods:
conducted in the Department of Oncopathology, Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute, Ahmedabad from January 2022 to December 2022 , in
which all Pap smears were reported as per the 2014 Bethesda system.The histopathological diagnosis of the corresponding cervix biopsies (if done)
were also listed and compared for concordance. A total number of 2755 smears studi Results: ed included normal 2470(89.7%), precancerous and
malignant 193 (7%), and inadequate 92 (3.3%). 193 smears showing atypical and malignancy included atypical squamous cells of undetermined
signicance (ASCUS) 57 (29.53%), atypical glandular cells,not otherwise specied (AGC,NOS) 23 (11.9 %), low-grade squamous intraepithelial
lesion (LSIL) 4 (2.07%), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) 30 (15.54%) and malignant 47 smears (24.35%). Biopsies showed
100% accuracy in malignant lesions. Our study revealed a good correlation between Conclusion: Pap smear and biopsy. Pap smear test was found
to be equally sensitive to histopathological examination for the early detection of different cervical lesions.

SUPRALEVATOR ABSCESS WITH METRONIDAZOLE RESISTANT ANAEROBIC INFECTION: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Mowar Abhinaba
Published: August 2023

Background- Supralevator abscesses are uncommon and may result from extension of an intersphincteric or ischiorectal abscess upward or
extension of an intraperitoneal abscess downward. These are difcult to diagnose. Because of its proximity to the peritoneal cavity, supralevator
abscesses can mimic intra-abdominal conditions. To identify the origin of a supralevator abscess prior to treatment is essential(1). Case
Summary- We are presenting a case of Supralevator abscess which presented as acute pain abdomen. It was a diagnostic and therapeutic
challenge due to metronidazole resistant anaerobic infection as well as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. A 48 years old female presented with right
sided abdominal pain for 2 weeks. After clinical evaluation provisional diagnosis of acute calculous cholecystitis with burst perianal abscess was
made. Radiological evaluation revealed the diagnosis of a supralevator abscess with an intraperitoneal extension. Routine blood investigations
revealed that the patient was also diabetic. The patient was optimized pre-operatively and drainage by laparotomy was done. Pus samples were
sent for aerobic and anaerobic culture sensitivity and the patient was put on empirical antibiotics and abdominal drains were put in the abscess
cavity. As per the reports of culture sensitivity the antibiotics were changed, importantly Piperacillin and tazobactam started for anaerobic
organism resistant to metronidazole which led to clinical improvement of the patient. This case report gives us idea about the Conclusiondiagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered during management of the rare Supralevator abscess; about the emerging resistance against
metronidazole among anaerobic organisms and the need of anaerobic culture sensitivity in clinically progressive disease as well as the need of
proper management of co-morbidities.

Elements of the theory of the combined feedback as part of
adaptive friction clutches
Authors: Shishkarev M.P.
Published: August 2023

A schematic diagram of the control device of an adaptive friction coupling with combined feedback is synthesized on
the basis of establishing the regularity of the change in the gain coeffi cient depending on the current value of the coeffi
cient of friction between the elements of friction pairs. It is shown that with a minimum gain value that is not equal to zero,
it is impossible to implement in practice the ideal load characteristic of the coupling, since the calculated value of the gain
exceeds its limit value.

Modeling of the ultimate strength characteristics
of frictional polymeric composites reinforced by oriented fibers
Authors: Bardushkin V.V. , Sychev A.P.
Published: August 2023

A model for predicting the values of the ultimate strength characteristics (under uniaxial compression) of multicomponent
frictional polymeric composites has been built. Inhomogeneous materials based on epoxyphenol binder, reinforced
with E-glass fibers and dispersed inclusions of rubber, alumina, graphite and barite are considered. It is believed that
glass fibers are oriented along the X and Y axes of a rectangular coordinate system and have the same volume contents
in these directions, which corresponds to the reinforcement of the material with fabric. Numerical calculations of values of
ultimate strength indices during uniaxial compression of the considered frictional polymeric composites were carried out,
taking into account changes in volume contents of their fillers.

Prevalence Allusions of Albright’s Hereditary Osteodystrophy Syndrome in South Asia
Authors: Abubakar Abubakar
Published: August 2023

Albright's Hereditary Osteodystrophy (AHO) is a rare, complex genetic metabolic disorder that was first delineated by American endocrinologist Fuller Albright in 1942. This syndrome is characterized by physical features such as short stature, abnormal finger and toe bones, skin ossification, obesity, rounded facial appearance, flat nasal bridge, and in some cases, developmental and mental abnormalities. AHO is classified as a subtype of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A due to its association with resistance to parathyroid hormone. When AHO is inherited from parents, it leads to the development of the syndrome without hormonal issues, resulting in a condition known as Pseudo-Pseudo Hypoparathyroidism (PPHP). PPHP is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, caused by a mutation in the GNAS gene. This gene is responsible for producing a subunit of a protein called a G protein, which regulates the activity and production of specific hormones, including parathyroid hormone. Globally, AHO is considered a rare syndrome, with a prevalence of 0.7 in 100 individuals. It is further classified into subtypes 1a, 1b, 1c, and 2 based on different phenotypes and underlying mechanisms. However, the purpose of this study is to investigate the rarity of the syndrome in the Asian subcontinent, specifically examining its prevalence, recent trends, and awareness within the selected demographic population. A survey-based approach was employed to gather data from several Asian countries. The findings of this study revealed significant variations in terms of gender distribution, family history, associated complications, Gs alpha subunit deficiency, and the age at which individuals are diagnosed with the syndrome. These variations underscore the need for a versatile approach to accurately diagnose and promptly treat individuals at risk of or already affected by the syndrome.
