Published: December 2022

Consumption is the main activity in human life. Allah created everything in this universe to be managed which in the end humans also consume it. For this reason, it is important to discuss consumption patterns so that someone is always on the path of Islamic consumption as the example of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The level of consumption in the month of Ramadan generally increases significantly, so it is necessary to conduct research on consumption patterns that lead to maslahah and Islamic consumption preferences.
So, this study aims to find out how the concept of maslahah and Islamic consumption preferences during the month of Ramadan in Indonesia. This research is a library research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results showed that the recovery in household consumption in the first quarter grew in the range of 4.12% and will continue into the second quarter. Likewise on the side of money circulation, where based on the amount of money in circulation, consumption credit grew by 6% in March 2022. Furthermore, the correlation formed in the relationship between maslahah and preferences is that maslahah has an effect on Islamic consumption preferences. The higher the level of maslahah, the closer the individual will be to falah, for that consumption preferences are expected to reach falah immediately as part of the aspect of maximizing maslahah.

Cidades pequenas
Authors: Detoni Luana Pavan , Rocha Eduardo
Published: December 2022

Este artigo versa sobre as especificidades da arquitetura e do urbanismo quanto à apreensão das cidades pequenas, considerando o momento atual e as possíveis intervenções nesses territórios. A partir da construção da temática, procura definir cidade pequena, evidenciando as que estão à margem das políticas urbanas nacionais. Seguindo os marcos teóricos, guiados pelas aproximações entre o urbanismo contemporâneo e a filosofia da diferença, as cidades pequenas passam a se caracterizar como território de um devir menor. Essa compreensão serve de suporte ao objetivo de aprender com os diferentes modos de vida e os desejos em arquitetura e urbanismo experienciados em três cidades da microrregião de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, a fim de sugerir pistas que possam sensibilizar a ação dos arquitetos e urbanistas na contemporaneidade. A partir do método da cartografia, o trabalho transcorre por meio da reflexão sobre o papel do arquiteto e urbanista nas cidades pequenas. Como resultados, foram operados os conceitos de hospitalidade, subjetividade e “educação menor”, em meio a agenciamentos múltiplos, potencializados pelas entrevistas com arquitetos e urbanistas que atuaram nas cidades estudadas.
Dynamic capabilities perspective on innovation ecosystem of China’s universities in the age of artificial intelligence: Policy-based analysis
Authors: Qu Chen , Kim Eunyoung
Published: December 2022

Universities play a key role in university-industry-government interactions and are important in innovation ecosystem studies. Universities are also expected to engage with industries and governments and contribute to economic development. In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), governments have introduced relevant policies regarding the AI-enabled innovation ecosystem in universities. Previous studies have not focused on the provision of a dynamic capabilities perspective on such an ecosystem based on policy analysis. This research work takes China as a case and provides a framework of AI-enabled dynamic capabilities to guide how universities should manage this based on China’s AI policy analysis. Drawing on two main concepts, which are the innovation ecosystem and dynamic capabilities, we analyzed the importance of the AI-enabled innovation ecosystem in universities with governance regulations, shedding light on the theoretical framework that is simultaneously analytical and normative, practical, and policy-relevant. We conducted a text analysis of policy instruments to illustrate the specificities of the AI innovation ecosystem in China’s universities. This allowed us to address the complexity of emerging environments of innovation and draw meaningful conclusions. The results show the broad adoption of AI in a favorable context, where talents and governance are boosting the advance of such an ecosystem in China’s universities.

Responses to Shame: Influences of Adherence to Masculinity Norms
Authors: Stine Zachary , Broughton Taylor , Andrews Glena , Spromberg Chris
Published: December 2022

Managing negative emotions is challenging even without the overlay of socially constructed gender role norms. We were curious about the effects of being confronted with shame on young men who either adhere strongly to traditional masculine gender roles norms or are nonconforming to these norms. We evaluated the shame responses of college men (N = 23), using the Thurston-Craddock Test of Shame (TCTS; Thurston & Craddock, 1998) as our stimulus while measuring physiological and verbal responses. Men in the traditional masculinity norms conforming group scored significantly higher (p = .001, η2 = .58) on 7 of the 11 subscales from the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI; Mahalik et al., 2003) than men in the nonconforming group. When presented with shame-based stimuli, we found differences in heart rate variability depending on the level of overt shame in the stimulus with the two groups, p = .038, η2 = .12. The use of aggressive language when confronted with overt examples of shame was not different for our comparison groups. Our results indicate that men who adhere to traditional masculine norms hold different values for interacting with women, physical confrontation, and being in control of situations and others than men who have not internalized the traditional values of American masculinity. Understanding the continuum of values and responses to difficult emotions continues to be a valuable area to study.

«Three Great Reforms» of the Edo Period as Foundation for Understanding Japanese Behaviour
Authors: Philippov A. V.
Published: December 2022

The proposed review deals with the problem of the Three Great Reforms in the second half of the Edo period in Japan. All Three Reforms were named after the era, when each began (Kyoho, Kansei, and Tempo). The general slogan of the reforms was «back to the golden age», which meant the time of the founder of the Tokugawa dynasty. The real reason for the reforms was the need to reconcile some bourgeois changes in society with the formal feudal structure of the State organization. The content of each reform, its results, initiators and the socio-political situation are presented here in full, comprehensive form with basic details. The list of references is absent for the reason that the review itself is based on the materials of a doctoral dissertation, written by the author of the article previously, in Russian. The complete list of several hundred publications on the topic can be obtained by referring to the full text of the dissertation (Philippov A. V. «Three Great Reforms» and evolution process of the Japanese society, in the second half of the Edo period. Dissertation of Doctor in History. St. Petersburg, 2003. 503 p. URL: https://www.dissercat.com/content/tri-bolshie-reformy-i-protsessy-evolyutsii-yaponskogo-obshchestva-vtoroi-poloviny-epokhi-edo). The author suggests that the experience of reforms in Tokugawa Japan was very useful for the formation of national character, ethnic stereotypes of behaviour, psychology and way of thinking of the Japanese. The content of all Three Great Re-forms combined has never been presented in English or Japanese before.
Memory and Identity: Tashi Tsering, the Last Qinwang South of the Yellow River
Authors: Wallenböck U.
Published: December 2022

Today’s Henan Mongol Autonomous County is located in the southeastern part of present-day Qinghai Province, in the northeastern part of the Tibetan plateau. This historical pastoral area South of the Yellow River is a border area where, a milieu was created due to the long-term mutual contacts between Tibetans and Mongols, in which specific local customs, language patterns, and social communities have emerged. The initial turning point in their ethnical and cultural identity was the integration into the modern Chinese State in 1954, followed by ethnic classification. Moreover the local pastoral Mongol and Tietan populations have been transformed into minority nationalities is-á-vis the Han Chinese, and many Tibetans even were classified asMengguzu(Mongols), however, perceived as Tibet-Mongols (Tib.Bod Sog) by themselves and their neighbours. By looking at the outstanding historical figure of Tashi Tsering, the last Mongolqinwangof the Henan grasslands at the Sino-Tibetan borderlands, this paper examines how the people of the Henan grasslands integrate their memory of the local traditional leader into their identity construction, and how they revive their Mongolness despite their seclusion from other Mongol communities.
Semantics of Attributes of Japanese Buddhist Sculpture
Authors: Kuzhel Yu. L. , Breslavets T. I.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the description and analysis of some iconographic elements inherent in Buddhist cult sculpture, which made communication between a person and a deity possible. The set being analyzed in this article, which is distinguished by its diversity, is limited to attributes that the deities hold in their hands, as well as crowns crowning the heads of deities, since they occupy a particularly important place in the structure of Buddhist iconography. The various identification marks endowed with Buddhist deities, in general, remain unchanged. As symbols, since images of deities are perceived by the adherents of the faith, they contribute to the birth of the corresponding associations. Embodied in Buddhist sculpture with their characteristic semantics, the attributes help to understand the essence of Buddha's teaching. Some objects are an information sign exclusively for a certain deity, others may belong to the subject environment of different deities. In the visual arts of Japan, the attributes of Buddhist sculpture have become a conventional image, contributing to the message of the versatility of Buddhist teaching, revealing its spiritual essence. Religious and aesthetic merged into one in the works of outstanding masters, who paid special attention to iconographic details, giving them artistic expressiveness. Buddhist sculpture uses symbols with well-established traditional meanings – religious values that have become common culture. The semantic structure of the symbol appeals to the experience and knowledge of a parishioner in a temple or a visitor in a museum, deepening and expanding his spiritual and mental space. This is facilitated by the canonized system of pictorial language that has developed over the centuries.
Chinese Mirrors with Inscriptions from Early Iron Age Burial Complexes in Korea and Japan
Authors: Nesterkina A. L. , Solovieva E. A. , Kudinova M. A.
Published: December 2022

This article presents findings of the comprehensive study of Chinese mirrors with inscriptions unearthed from the early Iron Age burial complexes of Korea and Japan and the search for their closest analogies. An analysis of the morphological features of these objects and the content of the inscriptions allows us to attribute them to four main types: mirrors with inscriptions containing the characters jia chang fu gui, riguang, zhaoming and qingbai. Similar mirrors were widespread in Han China from the middle of the 2nd century BC to the end of the 1st century AD. They also became widespread throughout Eurasia, including the territory from Ukraine in the west to Japan in the east, from Western Siberia in the north to Central Vietnam in the south. The identity of the ornamentation and inscriptions of mirrors from different regions suggests that they all were produced in a limited number of centres located within the borders of Han China and spread across the territory of Eurasia along the routes of the Great Silk Road, which ran mainly along the steppe belt to the west and along sea routes to the east and southeast of the continent and to nearby islands. On the territory of Korea and Japan these mirrors might serve as amulets and markers of high social status, the inscriptions themselves, most likely, were not clear to the majority of the ancient inhabitants of this territory, since hieroglyphic writing became widespread in Korea and Japan only in the 6th – 7th centuries.
The mental health of adolescent girls from a tribal region of Central Rural India during the COVID-19 pandemic – A cross-sectional study to determine the role of gender disadvantage

Published: December 2022

Objectives:

The mental health of adolescent girls in countries of South Asia is related to several social and cultural factors including gender disadvantage, especially in low resource settings such as tribal areas. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased this vulnerability even further. This study assesses the association of gender disadvantage with psychological distress among adolescent girls residing in a tribal area of India and examines the role of resilience.

Materials and Methods:

The study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic first wave in 2020 using telephonic interviews with 102 girls aged 15–20 from one block (65.46% tribal population) of a predominantly tribal area in Central India. Trained interviewers administered translated versions of the Kessler Psychological Distress 10-item scale (K-10), the Checklist for Assessment of Gender Disadvantage (CAGED), and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Pair-wise correlation was conducted between gender disadvantage, resilience and psychological distress using CAGED, BRS and K-10 scores. A one-way ANOVA was used to compare mean difference in CAGED domain scores and K-10 severity score groups.

Results:

The mean age of girls was 17.62 years (standard deviation 1.64). Scores on K-10 indicating moderate to severe psychological distress were seen among 27.5% of the respondents. Girls reported lack of space/privacy (39.2%), lack of freedom to pursue interests (32.4%), opinions not being considered (31.4%), and financial difficulties as hindrance to opportunities (28.4%) as common experiences of gender disadvantage. Gender disadvantage was directly associated with severity of psychological distress and inversely with resilience.

Conclusion:

This study indicates the importance of decreasing gender disadvantage for improving the mental health of young women and girls in underserved areas. The role of peer group interventions and engaging men and boys using gender transformative interventions in improving mental health needs to be studied.
Analysis of dynamic changes in optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) with ultrasound in post-craniotomy patients: Trends and correlation with computed tomography ONSD and Glasgow coma scale in post-operative period
Authors: Benhur Allan , Sharma Jaiprakash , Karna Sunaina Tejpal , Shrivastava Adesh , Saigal Saurabh , Waindeskar Vaishali Vasant
Published: December 2022

Objectives:

Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring in patients with intracranial tumors undergoing craniotomy is usually done in perioperative period in intensive care unit. Invasive measurement of ICP, though considered as the gold standard, has its own limitations such as availability of expertise, equipment, and associated complications. Period of raised ICP in post-operative period may impact patient outcomes. Post-craniotomy computed tomography (CT) assessment is done routinely and may need to be repeated if indicated during post-operative stay. Utility of sonographic serial optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) assessment in post-operative monitoring of patients who have undergone elective craniotomy was explored in this study. The primary objective of the study was to measure the dynamic change in ONSD as compared to baseline pre-operative measurement in the first 3 postoperative days after elective craniotomy. The secondary objective of the study was to evaluate correlation between ONSD value with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and post-operative CT findings.

Materials and Methods:

In this prospective, observational, and cohort study, we studied adult patients undergoing craniotomy for intracranial tumors. GCS assessment and sonographic measurement of ONSD were done preoperatively, immediate post-operative period, and 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery. CT scan to detect raised ICP was done at 24 h post-operative. Correlation of ONSD with GCS at respective period and correlation of CT scan finding with respective ONSD assessment were evaluated.

Results:

A total of 57 patients underwent elective craniotomy for intracranial tumors. Significant difference was observed in ONSD value depending on time of measurement perioperatively (χ2 = 78.9, P = 0.00). There was initial increase in the first 12 h followed by decrease in ONSD in the next 48 h. Negative correlation was observed between baseline ONSD and 12 h GCS (ρ = −0.345, P = 0.013). There was significant change in GCS scores based on the status of ONSD (raised or normal) at 12 h after surgery (P = 0.014). Significant correlation between USG ONSD and CT ONSD was observed (ρ = 0.928, P = 0.000). Optimal cutoff value of ONSD to detect raised ICP with reference to CT signs was 4.8 mm with 80% sensitivity and 95% specificity.

Conclusion:

ONSD undergoes dynamic changes, correlates with CT scan, and has good diagnostic accuracy to detect raised ICP post-craniotomy for intracranial tumors. It may serve as a useful tool in monitoring in resource-limited setup.
Dermatomycoses in Animals in the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, Kenya and Brazil
Authors: Gugnani Harish Chander
Published: December 2022

Dermatomycoses are the most common of fungal infections in livestock, pet animals, and wild animals. The causative agents, dermatophytes, belong to three genera, namely, Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. The dermatophytes known to have a sexual stage are placed in the family Arthrodermataceae in the Phylum Ascomycota of the Kingdom Fungi. Ecologically dermatophytes are classified as anthropophilic, zoophilic, and geophilic. Dermatophytic infections are the most common of fungal infections in animals. Human infections are frequently caused by some zoophilic dermatophytes but occasionally by geophilic dermatophytes. Predisposing factors for animal infections include contact with other infected animals and spores of the dermatophytes which can survive more than a year under humid and mild temperature conditions. This study presents an update on the occurrence of dermatomycoses caused by different species of dermatophytes in animals in countries in the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and in Kenya and Brazil. Therapy and prevention of infections are also discussed briefly.

Authors: Ismail Mustafa , Elamin Osman , Al-Ageely Teeba A. , Algburi Hagar A. , Sharma Mayur , Aljuboori Zaid , Hoz Samer S. , Andaluz Norberto
Published: December 2022

Background:

Rectus gyrus hematoma (RGH) is a localized intracerebral hemorrhage involving the most medial part of the orbital surface of the frontal lobe. It can be an imaging finding in the setting of a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm; however, other differentials are rarely reported in the literature. In this paper, we opt to present for the 1st time an overview of RGH regarding its history, anatomical correlation, and related neuroimaging with particular emphasis on the potential differential diagnosis for underlying pathologies.

Methods:

A literature review was conducted in PubMed, Medline, and Google scholar databases to review the existing literature highlighting the history, pertinent anatomy, and clinical characteristics of RGH.

Results:

The literature review yielded papers targeting the RGH neither as a radiological sign nor as a surgical correlate to the cerebrovascular lesion. We used the available indirectly related articles to formulate an overview to serve the aim of this paper and to highlight the potential value of studying the RGH.

Conclusion:

The RGH may represent an overlooked radiological finding that has potential significance through its relation to a set of vascular lesions affecting the brain. Further studies into the topic are needed to expand the utility of this sign.
To Design Scalable Free Energy Perturbation Networks, Optimal Is Not Enough
Authors: Pitman Mary , Hahn David , Tresadern Gary , Mobley David
Published: December 2022

Drug discovery is accelerated with computational methods such as alchemical simulations to estimate ligand affinities. In particular, relative binding free energy (RBFE) simulations are beneficial for lead optimization. To use RBFE simulations to compare prospective ligands in silico, researchers first plan the simulation experiment, represented by graphs where nodes represent ligands and graph edges represent alchemical transformations between ligands. Recent work demonstrated that optimizing the statistical architecture of these perturbation graphs improves the accuracy of the resultant changes in the free energy of ligand binding. Therefore, to improve the success rate of computational drug discovery, we present the open-source software package High Information Mapper (HiMap) --- a modernized take on its predecessor, Lead Optimization Mapper (LOMAP). HiMap removes heuristics decisions from design selection and instead finds statistically optimal graphs over ligands clustered with machine learning. Beyond optimal design generation, we present theoretical insights for designing alchemical perturbation maps. Some of these results include that for n number of nodes, the precision of perturbation maps is stable at n·ln(n) edges. We additionally find that optimal designs will converge more rapidly than radial and LOMAP designs. Moreover, we derive bounds for how clustering reduces cost for designs with a constant expected error, invariant of the size of the design. These results inform how to best design perturbation maps for computational drug discovery and have broader implications for experimental design.

This study aims to analyze the prosody in the Batak Toba language using an acoustic-phonetic approach. The measurement of experimental speech sounds uses spectrum analysis with computer assistance. Using recordings from a Sony ICD-PX 470 recorder, which are saved in WAV files, and Praat software version 6.0.54, suprasegmental or prosodic features can be analyzed. These suprasegmental or prosodic features include the high and low frequency of the sound and the intensity and duration of the speech. Data for the research was collected from declarative and imperative utterances by 20 male and 20 female Batak Toba native speakers and analyzed using spectrographs. The experimental method in this research shows the differences in prosody in male and female utterances so the characteristics of prosody between the two types of gender can be identified. The writer indicates that the frequency and intensity of female sounds are higher than male sounds in the two kinds of utterances. However, the duration required by males to pronounce the two utterances was longer than that required by females.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis prosodi yang terdapat dalam bahasa Batak Toba dengan menggunakan pendekatan fonetik akustik. Pengukuran bunyi ujaran eksperimental menggunakan analisis spektrum dengan bantuan komputer. Menggunakan rekaman dari perekam Sony ICD-PX 470 yang disimpan dalam file WAV dan perangkat lunak Praat versi 6.0.54, fitur-fitur suprasegmental atau prosodi dapat dianalisis. Fitur-fitur suprasegmental atau prosodi mencakup frekuensi tinggi rendahnya nada bunyi, intensitas, dan durasi penuturan bunyi. Data penelitian berasal dari ujaran deklaratif dan imperatif yang dituturkan oleh 20 laki-laki dan 20 perempuan penutur asli Batak Toba dan dianalisis menggunakan spektograf. Penelitian dengan menggunakan metode eksperimen ini menunjukkan perbedaan prosodi yang terdapat dalam tuturan laki-laki dan perempuan sehingga dapat ditemukan ciri-ciri khas prosodi antara kedua jenis kelamin tersebut. Penulis mengindikasikan bahwa nilai frekuensi suara dan intensitas suara yang dihasilkan perempuan lebih tinggi dari yang dihasilkan laki-laki dalam kedua ujaran tersebut. Namun, durasi yang dibutuhkan oleh laki-laki untuk menuturkan kedua ujaran tersebut ternyata lebih lama dibandingkan perempuan.

Perkembangan Internet of Things di Industri Konstruksi
Authors: Wimala Mia , Imanuela Kineta
Published: December 2022

Dalam satu dekade terakhir, belum banyak ditemukan penelitian yang membahas tentang kemajuan penggunaan Internet of Things (IoT) di industri konstruksi Indonesia. Di era industri 4.0 seperti sekarang ini, dibutuhkan sebuah penelitian untuk mengetahui perkembangan IoT di industri konstruksi baik di Indonesia maupun di luar negeri, dan mengetahui kesenjangan di antaranya. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode bibliometrik dengan software Publish or Perish 7. Data akan dikelompokkan dalam lima ranah pada industri konstruksi yang sangat terpengaruh dengan masuknya IoT yaitu: construction safety, machine control, site management, fleet management dan project management. Dari penelitian didapati bahwa Cina merupakan negara dengan kemajuan penggunaan IoT paling pesat dimana ranah yang paling banyak dibahas adalah terkait construction safety. Sementara itu, penerapan IoT di industri konstruksi di Indonesia baru dimulai dalam beberapa tahun terkakhir, yang ditandai dengan masih sedikitnya karya ilmiah yang terkait penerapan IoT di industri konstruksi. Pemerintah Indonesia juga masih belum berinvestasi pada sektor penelitian dan pengembangan sebanyak negara lain yang ditinjau. Temuan ini diharapkan mampu menjadi basis dalam menginisiasi penerapan IoT di industri konstruksi Indonesia.
Performing the Ecology of a Composition-Practice-In-Becoming
Authors:   , Isadora Alison
Published: December 2022

Performing the ecology of a composition-practice-in-becomingThe roles of five key actants—the composer, score, performer, audience and space—lie at the heart of performing the composition-practice-in-becoming. By focussing on their ecological, epistemic and social situatedness, as proposed by Coessens et al., modes of relations deriving from the historical western art music tradition are exposed which are often unwittingly adopted by practitioners of contemporary art music. Historical reification of the score as the ‘work’, the expectation of a ‘genius’ (male) composer, hierarchic and stultifying conditions for both musicians and audience members, and performance spaces that encourage these stratifications are revealed. In response to this, and extending on Isabelle Stengers’ work on the ecology of practices, modes of engagement are developed that might foster alternative roles for all actants (human and other-than-human agents), within a dynamic, co-constituting environment. 

For instance:

the entangled composer who co-ordinates, initiates, co-creates, hosts and acts as guardian;

the recontextualized score which operates as an adaptive (notation) environment;

the implicated musician whose role may be expanded to include co-creator, teacher, and organiser;

the agential audience who may be an attuned listener, participant, and co-creator; and

the situated performance space.

Integral to my practice-led thesis is discussion of a body of original compositions that generate expanded notions of the actants’ roles and shared compositional ‘response-ability’. Methods investigated include composing the situation, collective, embodied listening practices, audience scores, adaptive notations, feedback moments and situating the performance space.
