State-Sponsored Qurʾanic Exegesis: a Comparative Analysis of Turkiye’s and Indonesia’s Official Tafsir
Authors: Mursyid Achmad Yafik , Nahdiyati Aeni 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This research aims to analyze the official Tafsir in Turkiye and Indonesia within their respective socio-political contexts. Official Tafsir, such as “Kurʾan Yolu” in Turkiye and “Al-Qurʾan dan Tafsirnya” (QDT) in Indonesia, reflects state intervention in shaping religious discourse, differing from traditional Tafsir. This study identifies three main features of official Tafsir: exclusivity, collectivity, and responsiveness. The exclusivity in the official exegesis in both countries is influenced by the dominant madhhab (Hanafi in Turkiye and Shafiʾi in Indonesia), reflecting government efforts to standardize religious understanding in line with state interests. The research employs a comparative methodological approach, using primary data from official exegesis texts and secondary literature on political and cultural history in both countries. The findings indicate that official exegesis in Turkiye and Indonesia not only serves as a tool to maintain religious orthodoxy but also as an instrument for the state to address emerging social and legal issues. This study provides insights into the complex interplay between politics, culture, and religious interpretation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining inclusivity in religious discourse to meet the diverse needs of society.

Published: December 2024

Background There is limited and inconsistent evidence on the association between electroencephalography (EEG) measured sleep and depressive symptoms among community-dwelling older adults. This study aimed to investigate the cross-sectional association between EEG-measured sleep and depressive symptoms. Methods Using baseline data from a randomized clinical trial, we included 66 sedentary community-dwelling older adults with sleep complaints (≥ 1 self-reported insomnia symptom). Sleep was measured using an in-home sleep EEG (Sleep Profiler™) for 2 nights and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) was used to measure depressive symptoms. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted with each sleep parameter as the primary predictor and GDS score as the outcome, adjusting for age, sex, race, education, marital status, chronic conditions, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score. Results Several sleep variables were associated with depressive symptoms (GDS score), including a higher percentage of sleep stage N1 (B = 0.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02 – 0.20) and N2 (B = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.00 – 0.08), a lower percentage of N3 sleep (B = −0.04, 95% CI: −0.08 to −0.01), greater wake after sleep onset (B = 0.01, 95% CI: 0.00 – 0.02), and a greater number of awakenings ≥90s/hour (B = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.21-1.53). Conclusions Our study reveals that among sedentary community-dwelling older adults with sleep complaints, more lighter sleep (stage N1, N2), less deep (N3) sleep, and increased awakenings are associated with more depressive symptoms. Sleep interventions aimed at enhancing sleep architecture may also help alleviate depressive symptoms in this population.
Understanding the Role of Personalisation in Augmented Reality Applications for Enhancing User Experience
Authors: Gupta Shelleka , Sharma Antra 
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to have an understanding about the impact of augmented reality (AR) on user experience in case of a makeup app. This article tries to explore how personalisation, an AR process, impacts the various aspects of user experience (pragmatic quality, hedonic quality by stimulation, hedonic quality by identification and attractiveness). This study also evaluates the moderating role of privacy concern on the relationship of personalisation and user experience. Methodology: This research empirically analyses data from an experiment conducted in a controlled lab setting with 200 valid responses from users of a makeup app, which incorporates AR technology. SPSS and SmartPLS4 were used for the analysis. Findings: The results show that personalisation significantly impacts the user experience, particularly in terms of enhancing pragmatic quality. However, the results did not show a moderating effect of privacy concerns on the relationship of personalisation and user experience. Implications: This research offers marketers a foundation on leveraging AR technology in enhancing the app experience. It also contributes to the AR literature by understanding the interplay of personalisation, privacy concern and user experience. Originality/Value: This study examines how personalisation in AR distinctly shapes the user experience. It also addresses the contemporary dilemma of privacy concerns, investigating whether marketers should prioritise enhancing personalisation or exercise caution to uphold user privacy. While previous studies related to AR and user experience have been conducted in Western contexts, this study is unique in its kind in India.

Authors: Chaukimath Sahana S. , Tadakanahalli Satish , Badiger Shriharsha 
Published: December 2024

Background and Aims: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) poses a risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) in children, with incidence varying across different regions and populations. The aim of the study is to assess the proportion and predictors of AKI in children with DKA and to assess the impact of AKI on the duration of hospital stay and recovery from metabolic acidosis. Methods: Medical records of children under 14 years admitted with DKA between 2021 and 2023 were analysed retrospectively. Data on clinical characteristics and outcomes were collected and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Out of 31 patients, 7 (22.6%) developed AKI. Statistically significant differences were found between the AKI and non-AKI groups in terms of age, body mass index, corrected sodium and blood urea levels. Children with AKI had a longer median duration of hospital stay (10 vs. 6 days, P = .002) and a longer time to recover from metabolic acidosis (96 vs. 39 hours, P = .001) compared with those without AKI. Conclusion: A significant proportion of children with DKA are affected with AKI, leading to prolonged hospitalisation and delayed recovery from metabolic acidosis. Identifying predictors of AKI can help in the early recognition and management of this complication, improving patient outcomes.

Published: December 2024

Background Studies show contradictory results on telework and MSDs, recommending investigating ergonomic factors and considering mental workload and inactivity. Objective To analyze the predictive association of mental workload, postural overload, and physical inactivity on the presence of MSDs in university professors in a pandemic context. Methods A pilot cross-sectional study. An online self-administered questionnaire was used with the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) to assess MSDs, the NASA-Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) for mental workload, The Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) to quantify ergonomic risks, and a physical activity question. The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive statistics and the association between the independent and dependent variables by Chi-square and logistic regression with an α = 0.05. Results Fifty-one university professors (58.8% female) participated. The frequency of MSDs was 82.3% and was most common in the neck region (62.7%). Significant associations of mental workload, postural overload, and physical inactivity on MSDs were found. Multiple predictive associations were observed between MSDs in the wrists and hands, chair postural overload, and physical inactivity (OR = 11.84 and OR = 15.38, respectively) while considering confounding variables such as gender, age, and BMI. In addition, MSDs in the upper back were observed with chair and mouse-keyboard postural overload (OR = 5.60 and OR = 7.59, respectively). Conclusions Predictive associations exist between mental workload, postural overload, physical inactivity, and MSDs. In the post-COVID era, teleworking has become essential in universities, and it is crucial to plan for it to prevent the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

Published: December 2024

Background: Needle-free connectors (NFCs) are recommended as closure systems for peripheral and central vascular catheters to reduce needlestick injuries and infections, while potentially reducing blood reflux. However, their performance in short-term dialysis catheters has never been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the backflow associated with two NFCs (Neutron™ and Tego™) compared to the standard closure. Methods: In this bench study, the physiological blood pressure of the superior vena cava was simulated. Expert operators performed three sealing sequences for each combination of connector and lumens of the catheter, with and without closing the clamp. After that, the backflow was measured in millimeters using a high-precision digital caliper. Results: No combination of caps, lumens, or clamping sequences eliminated the backflow. No differences were observed between standard caps and NFCs in both lumens, apart from the Tego™/ No clamp combination in the proximal lumen that showed higher backflow (standard cap 15 [11; 17] mm vs Tego™ 23 [19; 25] mm, p < 0.001). Clamping reduced backflow in both the proximal (13 [11; 17] mm vs 20 [13; 25] mm) and distal lumens (12 [11; 16] mm vs 14 [12; 17] mm). No differences were found between standard caps and NFCs in the distal lumen, regardless of clamping. Proximal lumen consistently exhibited larger backflow (14 [12; 22] mm) compared to distal lumens (13 [11; 17] mm, p = 0.005). Conclusion: NFCs do not seem to introduce any advantage on backflow reduction as compared to a standard cap combined with lumen and clamping. Our data suggest that clamping should become standard practice when NFCs are used in the management of short-term dialysis catheters.

Authors: Chang Gina , Stoney Sarah , Narula Sona 
Published: December 2024

Background: While there is increasing understanding of the effect of pregnancy on the clinical course of multiple sclerosis (MS), there are limited studies focused on younger populations. Cases: We report neurologic and obstetric outcomes for 14 pregnancies from 11 adolescent and young adult female patients with pediatric-onset MS who delivered live births prior to age 26, and describe their relevant social determinants of health. Conclusion: Neurologic and obstetric outcomes in this cohort were generally good. Many of the pregnancies in our cohort appeared unplanned, underscoring the importance of discussing family planning with all MS patients of childbearing potential.
Numerical investigation on aerodynamic noise of rigid coaxial rotor in forward flight with lift-offset
Authors: Qi Haotian , Jiang Linsong , Pu Tianmei , Zhu Weijun 
Published: December 2024

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver based on Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations and high-efficiency trim model is used to simulate the unsteady aerodynamics of coaxial rotor. Farassat 1 A equations are adopted for predicting rotor far-field aerodynamic noise. Forward flight cases of a two-bladed rigid coaxial rotor in different advance ratios and lift-offsets (LOS) are conducted. Sound pressure histories of different observation points and noise radiation maps are analyzed. Results indicate that, the intensity of rotor thickness noise moves towards the advancing side in the rotor disk plane, with the increase of advance ratio. Due to the superposition effect, the thickness noise of coaxial rotor is symmetrical, which is different with the single rotor. At low advance ratio, loading noise of the rigid coaxial rotor is enhanced near the blade-crossing azimuths caused by the unsteady interaction of the twin rotors. The enhancement turns weak with the increase of advance ratio. At high advance ratio, increasing LOS tends to enhance the rotor-self BVI noise, while weakening the inter-rotor interaction noise. At certain flight states, appropriate LOS can reduce the overall noise radiation intensity of rigid coaxial rotor.

Background: The aim of the study was to examine the association between alcohol consumption and stroke in Nigeria and Ghana. Methods: The study is a multicentre, case–control study. Cases included consenting adults 18 years of age and older with acute stroke and controls were age-and -gender -matched stroke –free adults. Alcohol consumption was self-reported. The participants were classified into three alcohol-drinking status, which included abstainers, former drinkers, and current drinkers. The current drinkers were further classified into different alcohol drinking levels, including infrequent, light, moderate, heavy, and binge drinkers. Conditional logistic regression was used to determine associations between the drinking status and stroke, and the association between the different levels of current alcohol consumption and stroke. Five models were evaluated. Model 1 was unadjusted. Model 2 was adjusted for demographic characteristics. Model 3 included Model 2, lifestyle and psychosocial characteristics. Model 4 included Model 3 and dietary characteristics. Model 5 included Model 4 and metabolic characteristics. Results: A total of 7368 participants took part in the study. Half were stroke participants, and half were control participants. On the associations between drinking status and stroke, respectively, former drinkers showed no significant association with stroke. However, a significant association was observed between current drinkers and stroke in Models 1 and 2, with an odds ratio of 1.19 (95% CI: 1.04–1.38; p < 0.05) and 1.17 (95% CI: 1.01–1.36; p < 0.05), respectively. Regarding the various levels of current alcohol drinking and their association with stroke, no significant association was observed between light drinking and stroke in Model 5. In contrast, moderate drinkers, binge drinkers, and heavy drinkers showed a persistent and significant association with stroke respectively. Conclusion: There is a significant association between stroke and current alcohol consumption, especially among heavy, binge, and moderate drinkers.

Background: Claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) is expressed in multiple cancers and is a promising target for antitumor therapy. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the prevalence and characteristics of CLDN18.2-positive colorectal cancer (CRC). Objectives: To determine the clinicopathological and molecular features of patients with CLDN18.2-positive CRC. Design: Single-center retrospective study. Methods: A total of 805 patients who underwent surgical resection for pathological stage I–III CRC at the National Cancer Center Hospital (Tokyo, Japan) between 1997 and 2019 were identified. Expression of CLDN18.2 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The association of CLDN18.2 expression with clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes was assessed. The cutoff for CLDN18.2 positivity was defined as ⩾1%. Results: Among these patients, 17 (2.1%) had CLDN18.2-positive CRC. Right-sided CRC was significantly more common in patients who were CLDN18.2 positive than in those who were CLDN18.2 negative (76.5% vs 28.3%, p < 0.0001), as was mucinous or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (17.6% vs 3.0%; 17.6% vs 2.2%, p < 0.0001), T3–4 disease (100% vs 84.3%, p = 0.075), lymphatic invasion (64.7% vs 24.2%, p < 0.0001), BRAF V600E mutation (29.4% vs 4.1%, p < 0.0001), and deficient mismatch repair (MMR) status (47.1% vs 10.0%, p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis did not identify CLDN18.2 expression status to be an independent predictor of relapse-free survival (RFS) or overall survival (OS). Conclusion: Approximately 2% of all CRC cases in this study were CLDN18.2 positive and had unfavorable features (e.g., mucinous or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, T3–4 disease, lymphatic invasion, BRAF V600E mutation) and deficient MMR status. CLDN18.2 positivity did not have a significant impact on RFS or OS.

Background 18F-florzolotau positron emission tomography (PET) assists in the in vivo diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Objective We aimed to investigate the relationship between 18F-florzolotau uptake and clinical severity, structural volume changes, and plasma markers in four-repeat tauopathies. Methods A total of 80 participants were recruited: 35 with PSP (11 with PSP-Richardson syndrome and 24 with PSP non-Richardson syndrome), 9 with corticobasal syndrome (CBS), 10 with Alzheimer's disease (AD), 8 with Parkinson's disease, and 18 controls. All participants underwent 18F-florzolotau PET, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and plasma biomarker investigation (total and phosphorylated tau [pTau181], neurofilament light chain, and glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP]). Results 18F-Florzolotau uptake was significantly higher in the subcortical regions of the pallidum, subthalamic nucleus (STN), midbrain, red nucleus, and raphe nucleus in PSP patients compared to the other groups (all p < 0.01). Subcortical tau tracer retention assisted in distinguishing PSP and CBS from controls (AUC = 0.836, p < 0.001). Tau tracer retention could differentiate PSP and CBS from AD in cortical ( p < 0.001) and subcortical regions ( p = 0.028). The motor severity of PSP positively correlated with tau burden in STN ( p = 0.044) and substantia nigra ( p = 0.035). Tau tracer uptake was associated with cortical volume changes in CBS ( p = 0.031), PSP non-Richardson syndrome ( p = 0.003), and AD ( p = 0.044). Cortical tau retention correlated with plasma levels of GFAP ( p = 0.001) and pTau181 ( p = 0.036). Conclusions Subcortical 18F-Florzolotau uptake assist the diagnosis of 4R tauopathy parkinsonism. Additionally, regional tau burden contributes to structural brain volume changes and correlates with plasma levels of GFAP and pTau181.

Purpose: Using data from Ontario, Canada, this report shows how provincial government-assigned health card numbers can be used for individual-level randomization in large pragmatic trials. We describe how health card numbers are assigned and analyze the distribution of health card digits in a trial setting. We then provide an example of how they can be used for randomization and discuss the methodological and practical considerations of the approach. Key Findings: In Ontario, Canada, health card numbers are randomly generated and assigned without regard to the applicant’s characteristics. The number is a 10-digit string connected with hyphens followed by a version code (ie, 1234-567-890-XX). The number is unique to each individual and assigned for life. Before assignment, some numbers within the 10 digits are altered using proprietary business rules. We demonstrate how to use certain digits for individual-level randomization and provide an example of how we will use the tenth digit for randomization in a large new trial of different dialysate bicarbonate concentrations. While this approach has many practical and methodological advantages, it does not allow for stratification. Before using this approach, teams should consider if it will affect the integrity of the randomization and the trial, which will be influenced by the setting and the type of intervention tested. Implications: Using provincial government-assigned health card numbers for pragmatic randomized trials appears viable, but the merits must be carefully considered on a trial-by-trial basis. The approach can streamline and reduce the cost of conducting such trials.
