Virtual Reality Behavioral Activation as an Intervention for Major Depressive Disorder: Case Report
Authors: Paul Margot , Bullock Kim , Bailenson Jeremy 
Published: October 2020

Background
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a global problem with an increasing incidence and prevalence. There has additionally been an increase in depression due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Behavioral activation is considered an evidence-based treatment for MDD. However, there are many barriers that could hinder one’s ability to engage in behavioral activation, with COVID-19 “shelter-in-place” and social distancing orders being current and large impediments. Virtual reality (VR) has been successfully used to help treat a variety of mental health conditions, but it has not yet been used as a method of administering behavioral activation to a clinical population. Using VR to engage in behavioral activation could eliminate barriers that pandemic precautions place and help decrease symptoms of depression that are especially exacerbated in these times.

Objective
The following case report examines the feasibility, acceptability, and tolerability of VR behavioral activation for an adult with MDD during a global pandemic. This participant was part of a larger pilot study, and the case serves as a description of the VR intervention.

Methods
The participant engaged in a weekly 50-minute psychotherapy Zoom session for 4 weeks, in which a modified behavioral activation protocol was administered using a VR headset to simulate activities. Data on mood ratings, homework compliance, and headset use were obtained from the headset. Acceptability, tolerability, and depression symptoms were obtained using self-report rating scales.

Results
The intervention was feasible, acceptable, and tolerable, as reported by this participant. The participant’s depressive symptoms decreased by five-points on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 over a month, with a beginning score of 10 (moderate depression) and a final score of 5 (mild depression).

Conclusions
The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.

Authors: KRISHNA SEELAM RAMYA , RAMU A. , VIDYADHARA S. 
Published: October 2020

Objective: In the current research work, dipyridamole, a BCS class–II drug, was aimed to be formulated as floating controlled release microballoons using ethyl cellulose as polymer and span 80 as surfactant to improve the gastric retention of drug as the multi-particulate dosage forms have tremendous advantages over single unit dosage forms.
Methods: Microballoons were prepared by the emulsion solvent evaporation method. Prepared microballoons were characterized for entrapment efficiency, particle size, floating behavior and drug release studies. The study of effect of various formulation and process parameters like surfactant concentration, solvent volume, the volume of internal phase, polymer concentration, rotation speed on the drug entrapment efficiency and particle size of the microballoons were carried by using Box–Benhken to optimize the formulated microballoons.
Results: The smallest particle size of the microballoons was found to be 205.9 µm in the F32 formulation. The highest drug entrapment efficiency was found to be 93.4% in the F34 formulation. Buoyancy studies showed all the formulations have good floating characteristics that lasted for a minimum of 24 h. The maximum yield of microballoons was found in the F7 formulation with 91.8% yield. The final results were statistically treated using ANOVA and were found to be significant (p value<0.05).
Conclusion: Thus, the obtained results and their statistical interpretations indicated floating microballoons of dipyridamole were formulated effectively.

Published: October 2020

Objective: The pathogenesis of various liver injuries involves oxidative damage. This research was planned to examine the effects of Mereemia borneensis extract on hepatic oxidative damage caused by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats.
Methods: Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to M. borneensis (125 and 250 mg/kg b. wt.) once daily for 14 d followed by two doses of CCl4 (1.2 ml/kg b. wt.). After 2 w, the rats were sacrificed and hepatoprotective analysis was done.
Results: Orally administration of CCl4 enhances serum transaminase (ALT; alanine transaminase and AST; aspartate transaminase), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, lipid peroxidation, reduction in glutathione, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, quinone reductase and glutathione S-transferase. Pretreatment of rats with M. borneensis at 125 and 250 mg/kg body weight significantly reduced levels of ALT, AST, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and lipid peroxidation of CCl4 treated rats. Pretreatment with M. borneensis against rats treated with CCl4, hepatic enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant molecules have increased significantly. A decreased histopathological change in the liver is further evidence of the protective effect of M. borneensis.
Conclusion: Our data suggest that M. borneensis can be a potential hepatoprotective agent in preventing or treating degenerative diseases that involve oxidative stress.

Published: October 2020

Objective: To evaluate antibacterial, antioxidant activities, the existence of the major secondary metabolites, and volatile compounds in methanolic extracts from M. sylvestris leaves.
Methods: Antibacterial activity was assessed using a well diffusion method. Antioxidant activity was assessed using ABTS●+and DPPH● free radical scavenging assays. Phytochemical screening for secondary metabolites and volatile compounds were done following standard techniques and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
Results: Methanolic extracts exhibited moderate antibacterial activity compared with the positive control against the gram-negative Klebsiella pneumoniae and the gram-positive bacteria’s Staphylococcus aureus by 47.2 and with 47.1% respectively. The average percentage of scavenging was 97.82±0.05 and 79.49±0.4 for ABTS•+and DPPH●, correspondingly. Total phenols were quantitatively estimated and found to be 78.9±9.55 mg GAE/g. Phytochemical screening assays revealed the presence of a wide range of phytochemical groups such as alkaloids flavonoids, phenols, tannins, quinones, saponins, steroids, tannins, terpenoides with at least sixteen volatile compounds detected in the plant.
Conclusion: The present study confirmed the antioxidant activity of the methanolic extract of M. sylvestris and the existence of is the volatile compounds (phytol), which mediate, even partially, the antioxidant and the claimed analgesic activity of the plant.

Percobaan Pembunuhan Sebagai Mawani‘ Al-Irth dalam KHI Pasal 173 Dilihat Menurut Perspektif Maqașid Al-Syari‘Ah
Authors: Mawaddah Lailatul 
Published: October 2020

Trial of Assassination is an action carried out with the intention of killing people, but the person who wants to be killed does not die. In KHI Article 173 stated that the trial of assassination were prevented from inheriting, but in fiqh did not mention this, because that was the result of ijtihad by Indonesian Islamic law experts. Based on this, this research attempted to explain the provisions of the KHI regarding the trial of assassination as mawani' al-irth, and the provisions of KHI regarding the trial of assasination as mawani‘ al-irth seen in the motivations behind it. Both of these will be studied using the perspective of maqașid al-syari'ah. The type of research used in this thesis is library research (qualitative research). Sources of data from this study come from the book al-Muwafaqat, Tasyri 'al-Jinaai al-Islami, Al-Fatawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra, Al-Tahzib fi Fiqh Imam Al-Syafi'i and the book Compilation of Islamic Law by Cik Hasan Bisri, as well as books and journals relating to maqașid al-syari'ah and mawani' al-irth. Data collection method is carried out in documentation and data analysis method in the form of qualitative descriptive. The results of the study indicate that the provisions of the KHI Article 173 concerning trial of assassination that’s hindered from inheriting is not suitable to be applied. Because the trial of assassination does not cause a person to die. Then in KHI also do not recognize the term forgiveness, even though the opportunity to be forgiven by the own heir is very large. Furthermore, in KHI, it does not consider the background of doing this action, even though between one person and another person has different intentions and objectives. Although the trial of assassination is a case that violates the existence of maqașid al-syari‘ah from the needs of the dharuriyyah, which is guarding the soul (hifz al-nafs), the benefit here is to apply a law according to the conditions that it wants. Because the basic purpose of Islamic law (maqașid al-syari‘ah) is to gain benefit and prevent damage (mafsadah).

Published: October 2020

Alquran tells the stories of Prophet Ibrahim pbuh, whose contents are inseparable from moral messages. This study identifies the moral messages of verses on Prophet Ibrahim pbuh’s; determine the relevance of verses on the Prophet’s akhlaq with moral development in today’s society; and reveal the wisdom of stories about Prophet Ibrahim pbuh’s exemplary akhlaq. The research method was qualitative, employed via the library research approach. Research data were analyzed using the analytical descriptive technique. The results showed there are three moral messages that can be gained from verses on Prophet Ibrahim pbuh. First, patience and resignation of self to Allah (QS. Al-Ṣāfāt ayat 99-113). Second, being gentle and preaching argumentatively without resorting to violence (QS. Maryam ayat 46-47 dan QS. Al-Anbiyā’ ayat 51-72). Third, submission and obedience to the commands of Allah (QS. Al-Ṣāfāt ayat 102). The moral messages contained in these verses are highly relevant to the moral development of a society. There are countless wisdoms that can be gained from stories of Prophet Ibrahim pbuh’s akhlaq, but they can be reduced to seven points. First, faith and tawhid will create free and responsible individuals with good morals, trustworthy, and spread goodness. Second, encouraging oneself to think empirically. Third, patience and resignation when facing any calamities. Fourth, politeness and gentleness in spreading Islam. Fifth, persistence in attitude and effort to achieve the desired result or objective. Sixth, the story on sacrifice evokes mutual assistance in the society. Seventh, the story of Prophet Ibrahim pbuh also provides understanding on the power of supplication and effort.

Published: October 2020

SYNOPSIS
Technology is revolutionizing accounting. To survive, accountants must focus on areas where they can complement technology and carve out a competitive advantage where the expertise of accountants is uniquely needed. To do so, we highlight the new core competencies emphasizing the use of data analytics. We propose a new, revolutionized curriculum focusing on (1) providing students with a step-by-step framework/approach for analyzing the data that includes the use of statistics; (2) using data analytics across the accounting curriculum to build data analytics skills; and (3) incorporating the use of real-world data for its analysis. This new curriculum combines business acumen to provide context as well as technological adeptness to analyze the data, and prepares the CPA professional for the future. We conclude by arguing that the accounting profession faces a choice: either master technology or be mastered by technology. The choice is ours. Act or be acted upon.
