Authors: Chairul Muhammad , Sinaga Stevani Rose Br , Simbolon Boyke Marthin
Published: January 2025

Incised wounds are disruptions of skin integrity that require effective treatment to accelerate healing. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii), rich in secondary metabolites such as eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, and flavonoids, is known for its potential as an anti- inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial agent. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cinnamon extract ointment in healing incised wounds in Wistar rats. This experimental study used a post-test only control group design. A total of 30 Wistar rats were divided into five groups: a negative control (ointment base), a positive control (gentamicin ointment), and three treatment groups with cinnamon extract ointments at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 40%. Observations of wound length and healing percentages were conducted over 14 days. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed a significant reduction in wound length in the 40% cinnamon extract ointment group (19.6 mm) compared to the negative control (12.8 mm) and were close to the effectiveness of gentamicin ointment (20 mm). The highest wound healing percentage was also achieved in the 40% concentration group (98.2%), comparable to gentamicin ointment (100%). Cinnamon extract ointment at a concentration of 40% effectively accelerates the healing of incised wounds in Wistar rats, with effectiveness comparable to gentamicin ointment. Further research is needed to evaluate its safety and clinical potential.

Today energy theft or energy meter tampering is the worldwide problem that
contributes heavily to revenue losses. Consumers have been finding new methods to manipulate
their electric meters. In any way their intention is to stop working energy meters and at the
same time they are enjoying free power. The most common method is by passing the meter by
shorting input & output terminals and using power without paying for it. Power theft through
energy meter tampering is one of the major causes of revenue losses. In this method of
tampering to bypass the meter, one must remove the terminal block top cover where input and
output terminals are connected. After removing the top cover, a person uses to short input and
output terminal through a piece of wire. We are not shorting terminals, but using an IR sensor
network arranged inside the top cover, automatically supply to the house will be automatically
disconnected and the alarm will be energized. Once the supply is disconnected, automatically
power theft information will be transmitted to the concerned mobile phone through the WiFi
module. Whenever the top cover is removed, power will be disconnected through relay and
power will not resume until the reset key is activated, in practical this reset key must be
arranged inside the meter somewhere in a secret place such that it will not be accessible to the
energy user. For demo purposes, it is arranged outside for easy accessible. In this project work
an electronic energy meter is used which generates pulses according to the load applied to it,
therefore energy consumption information also will be displayed through an LCD interfaced
with main processing unit designed with an 89C52 microcontroller chip.

S pojavom interneta morajo knjižnice v svoje storitve vključiti tudi digitalne storitve kot so elektronski viri, elektronski profili članstva uporabnikov in nenazadnje tudi mobilne storitve. Iz klasičnih, na lokacijo vezanih storitev se usmerjajo tudi v digitalne storitve, dostopne v virtualnem svetu. Pri tem igra pomembno vlogo t.i. »Internet stvari« (angl.

Ker se malo raziskav osredotoča na potrebe študentov glede branja elektronskih periodičnih publikacij na mobilnih napravah, so se v Hong Kongu (Ding idr., 2020) odločili, da bodo raziskali potrebe uporabnikov z različnih fakultet. Raziskavo so izvedli na podlagi spletnega vprašalnika, v okviru katerega so želeli pridobiti podatke o bralnem vedenju med študenti.

This may just be one of the least appealing blogs on the whole of the Internet, but never mind: here we are. Inspired by Astronomy Picture of the Day, we thought we should bring the same concept to the much more exciting science of sauropod vertebrae — but with a more realistic schedule. In case you don’t know, sauropods are dinosaurs — but not just any dinosaurs: the biggest, best and most fascinating of them all.

Between the 1950s and 1970s, the construction of hydroelectric plants in Brazil, such as the Sobradinho Hydroelectric Plant, aimed to accelerate economic growth but caused serious social and environmental impacts. The relocation of around 72,000 people resulted in issues such as lack of compensation and poor infrastructure. Environmentally, there was deforestation and soil erosion, affecting biodiversity and soil quality, which are essential for local subsistence. The ichthyofauna of the São Francisco River basin also deteriorated, with a drastic reduction in fish species, impacting artisanal fishing, which is essential for riverside communities. In response, associations and fishing colonies emerged to claim rights and improvements in living conditions. This work aims to analyze the ichthyofauna of the Sobradinho Dam lake and the socio-environmental impacts of this construction from the perspectives of local fishermen. Data were collected through participatory tools and individual interviews, using snowball sampling focused on experts from the Z-026 Fishermen’s Colony and the Association of Riverside Residents. The "Timeline" tool was used to recover the oral history of the residents. The interviews followed semi-structured scripts, addressing socioeconomic and socio-environmental aspects and using photo elicitation. The analysis of the ichthyofauna included interviews with fishermen and a species catalog, utilizing methods such as Chao 2 and Jackknife 1 for richness estimates. Multiple linear regression models were applied to evaluate the relationship between the number of recognized species and variables such as age and fishing time. The results showed that fishermen identified 94 out of the 104 cataloged species, reflecting a good understanding of the local ichthyofauna. The time of association with the Fishermen’s Colonies and the duration of fishing activity were influential in species identification, indicating that these associations can assist in the conservation of the ichthyofauna.
The Dialectic of Philosophical and Literary Exegesis: Mary’s Prophetic Status from the Perspectives of Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi
Authors: Sulaeman Mubaidi
Published: January 2025

This article aims to analyze the dialectic of Qur'anic argumentation regarding Maryam's prophethood from the perspective of two famous commentators, Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi, because some interpretations of Maryam's prophethood are considered misogynic by certain circles. Maryam's prophethood is an essential aspect of Islamic theology and has been described in the Qur'an with several verses that provide an overview of Maryam's prophetic role and status. This article aims to understand the interpretive approaches of Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi in exploring and explaining Qur'ānic verses related to Maryam's prophethood. The method of analysis used in this article involves a critical review of the commentaries of Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi regarding the verses that explain Maryam's prophethood. A comparative approach is used to compare the similarities and differences between the views of the two scholars. In addition, this article also analyzes the historical and cultural context of Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi's time to provide a deeper understanding of their interpretations. The analysis shows that Al-Tabari tends to adopt a more historical and linguistic approach in his interpretation. He explores the meanings of words in the relevant verses and relates them to the historical context of the time. On the other hand, Al-Qurthubi tends to adopt a more theological and moral approach in his interpretation. He emphasizes the moral and spiritual messages that can be taken from the prophetic story of Maryam. However, this study has a weak point that can be covered by further research by not exploring the arguments and evidence used by Al-Tabari and Al-Qurthubi in their interpretations critically or by using an approach that can uncover the ideological reasons behind their interpretations.
