Matematika dalam Rasionalitas Al-Qur’an; Bukti Perenialisme Atas Nalar Saintifik
Authors: Aji Rizqon Halal Syah 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIslam is a rational religion. Islam, through the Koran, can prove its rationality by proof of its perennial teachings. Rational perennial teachings are derived in profane life through scientific reasoning as well as mathematics and its derivatives. The verses of al-Qur'an are a form of aqliyah statement which is a guide for knowledgeable people to organize their lives in guiding their journey to find the truth. The proofs of rationality (aqliyah) in the Koran always prioritize logic but do not ascribe to al-Haqq. Mathematics is only a tool to absolute truth, but absolute truth belongs only to al-haqq. Muslim scientists who use their rationality have found their rational logic in discovering sciences to dissect knowledge so that it is beneficial to humans, however their devotion to Allah is getting stronger when breaking knowledge that was once empty into reality. Therefore, the rationality of the Qur'an can be described in mathematics, as a science that is full of the virtues of reason and logic.Keywords: Mathematics, Rationality, Perennialism, Al-Qur'an, Aqliyah, AbstrakIslam adalah agama rasional. Islam melalui al-Qur’an dapat dibuktikan nalar rasionalitasnya dengan bukti-bukti ajarannya yang perenial. Ajaran-ajaran perenial yang rasional diderivasikan dalam kehidupan profan melalui nalar saintifik seperti halnya ilmu matematika dan turunannya. Ayat-ayat al-Qur’an merupakan bentuk pernyataan aqliyah yang merupakan panduan insan berilmu untuk menata kehidupannya dalam memandu perjalanannya mencari kebenaran. Bukti-bukti rasionalitas (aqliyah) dalam al-Qur’an selalu mengedepankan logika namun tidak menisbikan yang al-Haqq. Matematika hanya alat menuju kebenaran mutlak akan tetapi kebenaran mutlak hanya milik al-haqq. Ilmuwan muslim yang menggunakan rasionalitasnya telah menemukan logika rasionalnya dalam menemukan ilmu-ilmu guna membedah pengetahuan sehingga bermanfaat bagi manusia, namun demikian ketaqwaan mereka terhadap Allah semakin kuat ketika memecahkan pengetahuan yang dulunya hampa menjadi kenyataan. Oleh karena itu rasionalitas al-Qur’an dapat diuraikan dalam ilmu matematika, sebagai ilmu yang penuh dengan keutamaan nalar dan logika.Kata Kunci: Matematika, Rasionalitas, Perenialisme, Al-Quran, Aqliyah

Aim. To study individual functional parameters of respiration in different phases of sleep in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and to assess their effect on the clinical course of the disease.
Methods. The study included 86 men with OSA [with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) 15 per hour]. Upon inclusion in the study, all patients underwent a polysomnographic study and echocardiography, the level of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was determined, a six-minute walk test was performed. After 12 months of prospective observation, the patients were divided into 2 groups according to the clinical course of chronic heart failure: with unfavorable (n=33) and favorable (n=53) clinical course. The prognostic significance of the studied parameters of respiration to the course of the disease was assessed by using logistic and linear regression.
Results. A significant role of the following respiratory parameters as predictors of chronic heart failure progression was established: obstructive apnea-hypopnea index for the entire night sleep [odds ratio (OR) 1.04, p=0.002] and in the phase of rapid eye movement sleep (REM) (ОR 1.24, p=0.001); the index of respiratory disorders for the entire sleep period (ОR 1.06, p=0.044) and in REM sleep phase (ОR 1.25, p=0.003). For hospital readmission, the predictive role was determined for obstructive apnea/hypopnea index for REM phase (ОR 1.07, p=0.044) and index of respiratory disorders for REM phase (ОR 1.13, p=0.040).
Conclusion. The prognostic value of the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index and the index of respiratory disorders for the entire night sleep and in the phase of REM sleep was revealed for patients with OSA and chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, which allows considering these parameters as independent predictors of an unfavorable clinical course in this group of patients.

Aim. To study the features of the pathogenesis of anemia in patients with colorectal cancer and metastatic liver damage, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of etiological correction of anemia in the preoperative period.
Methods. 90 patients with colorectal liver metastases and anemia (hemoglobin content 7595 g/L), who were observed at the City Clinical Oncological Center of St. Petersburg between 2014 and 2020, were included. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of prospectively assessed patients with the preoperative correction of anemia by iron supplements (intravenously 7 mg/kg once a week) and recombinant erythropoietin (subcutaneously 150 IU/kg 3 times a week). The second group included retrospectively assessed patients with the correction of anemia only by red blood cell (RBC) transfusion (13 doses). The groups were comparable for gender [sex ratio (male/female) was 17:31 and 16:26 for the first and the second groups, respectively; p 0.5], age (63.31.4 and 60.21.2 years, respectively; p 0.1) and hemoglobin content (87.41.0 and 86.70.9 g/l, respectively; p 0.2).
Results. In studying the causes of anemia, a decrease in the mean serum endogenous erythropoietin level was revealed in most patients (36.71.9 mIU/ml with the required 70 mIU/ml). A decrease in the concentration of serum iron (6.60.3 versus 15.10.8 mol/l) and ferritin (15.51.9 versus 102.48.4 g/ml) levels were revealed. At the same time, there was no difference in the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines in patients with anemia and healthy controls (tumor necrosis factor , interleukin-1, interleukin-6; p 0.2), which indicates a low activity of the immune system in response to a tumor, due to conducted chemotherapy. In the preoperative correction of anemia, a positive effect was achieved with both iron supplementation with erythropoietin preparation (the hemoglobin level increased from 87.61.0 to 108.10.9 g/l; p 0.01) and RBC transfusion (from 86.70.9 to 114.60.6 g/l; p 0.01).
Conclusion. In patients with colorectal liver metastases, the most common causes of anemia were low levels of erythropoietin and iron deficiency; also for this group of patients, the prescription of erythropoietin and intravenous iron preparations are effective for the preoperative correction of anemia.

Aim. To assess the spectrum and frequency of mutations in patients with hereditary breast cancer from the Republic of Bashkortostan.
Methods. The material for the study was sections of fresh frozen, formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumor tissue from 100 unrelated patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer. The study was carried out using two methods: real-time polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing-NGS.
Results. By using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the 5382insC mutation in the BRCA1 gene was detected in 12 cases. By using a next-generation sequencing method (NGS), highly penetrant mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2 and RAD50 were revealed in 16 patients. In total, these methods detected mutations in 28 patients. Out of a total of probands in the BRCA1 gene, mutations were detected in 13 patients, that included 12 patients with the 5382insC mutation, and 1 patient with c.3143delG. In the BRCA2 gene, mutations were revealed in 3 patients, of which c.6621_6622del in 2 patients and c.-39-1_-39delGA in 1 patient. Mutations in CHEK2 were detected in 5 patients: c.470TC in 3 patients, c.444+1GA in 2 patients. The 1592delT mutation in PALB2 was found in 4 patients. The c.2157delA mutation in RAD50 was detected in 3 patients.
Conclusion. Pathogenic mutations in BRCA1/2, CHEK2, PALB2 and RAD50 were found in 28 patients with a hereditary feature of the disease; the identification of highly penetrant mutations in probands allowed us to determine their relatives, probable carriers of mutations, which were referred for genetic counselling.
High-Resolution Imaging of the ML 2.9 August 2019 Earthquake in Lancashire, United Kingdom, Induced by Hydraulic Fracturing during Preston New Road PNR-2 Operations

AbstractHydraulic fracturing (HF) at Preston New Road (PNR), Lancashire, United Kingdom, in August 2019, induced a number of felt earthquakes. The largest event (ML 2.9) occurred on 26 August 2019, approximately three days after HF operations at the site had stopped. Following this, in November 2019, the United Kingdom Government announced a moratorium on HF for shale gas in England. Here we provide an analysis of the microseismic observations made during this case of HF-induced fault activation. More than 55,000 microseismic events were detected during operations using a downhole array, the vast majority measuring less than Mw 0. Event locations revealed the growth of hydraulic fractures and their interaction with several preexisting structures. The spatiotemporal distribution of events suggests that a hydraulic pathway was created between the injection points and a nearby northwest–southeast-striking fault, on which the largest events occurred. The aftershocks of the ML 2.9 event clearly delineate the rupture plane, with their spatial distribution forming a halo of activity around the mainshock rupture area. Across clusters of events, the magnitude distributions are distinctly bimodal, with a lower Gutenberg–Richter b-value for events above Mw 0, suggesting a break in scaling between events associated with hydraulic fracture propagation, and events associated with activation of the fault. This poses a challenge for mitigation strategies that rely on extrapolating microseismicity observed during injection to forecast future behavior. The activated fault was well oriented for failure in the regional stress field, significantly more so than the fault activated during previous operations at PNR in 2018. The differing orientations within the stress field likely explain why this PNR-2 fault produced larger events compared with the 2018 sequence, despite receiving a smaller volume of injected fluid. This indicates that fault orientation and in situ stress conditions play a key role in controlling the severity of seismicity induced by HF.

Background: Squatting posture may appear outdated and primitive, but in the antenatal period, it is an important resistance exercise to strengthen the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles which are believed to potentially prepare the women for a more natural delivery. No study till date has evaluated the effect of type of toilet seat regularly used during pregnancy. This was a pilot study to assess obstetric outcomes in antenatal women using squat versus western style sitting toilet seat.Methods: In an observational prospective pilot study, low risk primigravida at 28-32 weeks gestation were recruited from the outpatient department and divided into two groups after matching baseline characteristics. Group I (n=50) included women regularly using squatting type toilet seat and group II (n=50) comprised women using western style toilet seat. Pregnancy was followed till delivery; obstetric and neonatal outcomes were noted.Results: Squatting group, as compared to sitting type seat users, had lower incidence of vaginal discharge (10% vs 16%), urinary tract infection(12% vs. 24%), constipation (2% vs. 6%), labor induction (52% vs. 58%), shorter second-stage duration (0.60 vs. 1.24 hours) and a higher incidence of normal vaginal delivery (94% vs. 86%), albeit not statistically significant. NICU admissions (16% vs. 20%) and mean birth weight (2.83 vs. 2.97 kg) were comparable in the two groups.Conclusions: Squatting type toilet seat users had many favourable obstetric outcomes, especially a higher incidence of normal vaginal delivery; although, the difference was not statistically significant. Large community based surveys in this regard can reveal the true effects of squatting type toilet seat on pregnancy and labour outcomes.

Published: October 2020

Meningoencephalitis is an inflammation of the brain and its surrounding protective membranes. Meningitis is a life-threatening disease and can lead to signiﬁcant sequelae. We were presented with a 6 year 5 months old female child on ventilation, retrieved by referral hospital on examination revealed human herpesvirus 6 through cerebrospinal fluid analysis and diagnosed with meningoencephalitis on Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) with three repeated failed extubation and hence planned tracheostomy. Child presented no movements with suspected motor or sensory (vision, hearing) disability, generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS), altered sensorium requiring a long term rehabilitation and nutrition support. On close monitoring, a continuous effort of three months and with a multidisciplinary clinical approach from different disciplines including neurologist, intensivist, clinical dietitian and physiotherapy, the child successfully completed the long term rehabilitation treatment with remarkable improvement observed within 12 weeks both neurologically and nutritionally with a better clinical outcome.
„Łaską… przez wiarę” – Lutra koncepcja usprawiedliwienia grzesznika. Perspektywa egzegetyczno-hermeneutyczna
Authors: Wojciechowska Kalina 
Published: October 2020

W artykule przeanalizowano kwestię usprawiedliwienia przez wiarę z perspektywy Wspólnej Deklaracji (WD) oraz na bazie dwóch komentarzy Marcina Lutra: Wykładu Listu do Rzymian (1516) oraz Komentarza do Listu do Galatów (1535). Ponieważ komentarze pochodzą z różnych okresów twórczości Lutra, dobrze obrazują rozwój koncepcji usprawiedliwienia przez wiarę. Omówione zostały te aspekty usprawiedliwienia, które jako kluczowe wymienia Wspólna Deklaracja w punkcie 11: usprawiedliwienie jako odpuszczenie grzechów, wyzwolenie z mocy grzechu i śmierci, wyzwolenie od przekleństwa zakonu, jako społeczność z Bogiem i jako zjednoczenie z Chrystusem, Jego śmiercią i zmartwychwstaniem. Każdy z omawianych aspektów kończy się podsumowaniem ukazującym podobieństwa i różnice między Lutrowym ujęciem usprawiedliwienia a interpretacją nauki o usprawiedliwieniu w WD.

Published: October 2020

AbstractSurveys were conducted in six protected forests of Region VIII (Eastern Visayas) of the Philippines, namely Lake Danao, Mt. Nacolod, Kuapnit Balinsasayao, Asug Forest, City Forest, and Closed Canopy, from January to June of 2019. A total of 7,844 individuals belonging to 41 species, 25 genera, 13 tribes, and 2 subfamilies were recorded in the six selected forests of Leyte and Samar, Eastern Visayas, Philippines. Twenty-six species were recorded from Lake Danao, 32 species in Mt. Nacolod, 20 species in Kuapnit Balinsasayao Forest, 11 species in Asug Forest, 19 species in City Forest, and 26 species in Closed Canopy Forest. A total of 19 endemic species were recorded, of which 12 are endemic to the Philippines, 6 are endemic to Leyte, and 1 is endemic to Samar. The survey found new species and new records of carabid beetles in the region. The new records include Brachinus leytensis (Lassalle & Schnell), Trigonotoma goeltenbothi (Lassalle, Roux & Schnell), Pheropsophus uliweberi (Lassalle & Schnell) in Leyte, and Lesticus samarensis (Dubault, Lassalle & Roux) in Samar. The new species are Pheropsophus uliweberi (Lassalle & Schnell) and Pheropsophus sp. (Lassalle & Schnell), both found in Leyte. These findings demonstrate that the forests in Eastern Visayas can be considered as centers of carabid diversity. Appropriate protection and conservation strategies should be implemented.
Hereditary factors of bruxism
Authors: Najafi Shamsoulmolouk , Faraji Zahra , Roudgari Hassan 
Published: October 2020

Background: Bruxism is a parafunctional disorder. The prevalence of this rhythmic activity of rodent muscles is reported to be about %8. This disease can compromise the life quality of a person’s general performance. The aim of this study is to gather information upon genetic factors, which contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease.
Method: All related articles published in 1966 onward from google scholar such as ISI, PubMed, Scopus and Ovid within the databases were searched using English keywords ‘Bruxism and Genetics’. 300 articles were found. 252 articles were removed due to content duplication and irrelevance.
Findings: The review of selected articles finally showed that in addition to other factors such as psychological factors, local factors, systemic factors, etc., the genetic factors also play a significant role in pathogenesis of bruxism. Among the influential genes are rs6313 polymorphism from the 5HT2A gene and rs6313 polymorphism from the HTR2A gene.
Conclusion: Evidence suggests that genetic factors play an important role in the pathology and development of bruxism, however the main causing mechanism still largely remains unknown.

Background & Aim: Effective communication with the patients and engaging patients in decision-making and care planning are necessary to improve health outcomes and satisfaction with the treatment. Communicating effectively can help prevent and manage complications following the treatment of cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to describe and explain cancer patients’ communication facilitators' experiences between patients and nurses.
Methods & Materials: This is a qualitative conventional content analysis study. The study was conducted on 22 cancer patients who were selected based on a purposeful sampling approach. Semi-structured interviews were performed to collect the data. The data were then analyzed using conventional content analysis. Also, the Lincoln and Guba criteria were used to measure the trustworthiness of the data.
Results: The researchers have identified the main theme as “humanitarian care”. Besides, five categories of “good-naturedness”, “empathy”, “patience”, “confidentiality”, and “honesty” were also extracted from 18 subcategories.
Conclusion: Effective nurse-patient communication facilitates patients’ healing, enhances clinical outcomes and improves patients’ response to treatment. Hence, these ethical features need to be reinforced among nurses.
La comisión de crímenes contra la humanidad por empresas transnacionales y la ampliación de la competencia ratione personae de la Corte Penal Internacional
Authors: Arenal Lora Libia 
Published: October 2020

¿Pueden las empresas transnacionales perpetrar crímenes contra la humanidad y ser investigadas y procesadas por ello en virtud de las normas e instituciones propias del Derecho internacional penal (DIP)? Este trabajo pretende ofrecer una respuesta a esta pregunta analizando las posibilidades y obstáculos jurídicos que pueden encontrarse en la aplicación del Estatuto de Roma de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI). En primer lugar, se examina si las empresas transnacionales pueden ser entidades susceptibles de integrarse en el concepto “organización” del art. 7 del Estatuto de Roma de la CPI, convertirse en un actor detrás del elemento de la política en la comisión de los crímenes contra la humanidad y ser penalmente responsable por estos comportamientos en Derecho internacional. Para dar respuesta a esta cuestión se analiza la jurisprudencia reciente de la CPI. En segundo lugar, se aborda la posible extensión de la competencia ratione personae de la CPI a las personas jurídicas, en este caso a las empresas transnacionales, teniendo en consideración argumentos presentes en el Derecho internacional público, en el sistema de la CPI y en el Derecho penal.Recibido: 03 febrero 2020Aceptado: 21 septiembre 2020Publicación en línea: Artículos en Prensa 23 octubre 2020
La problemática (necesaria y siempre insuficiente) fundamentación de los derechos humanos
Authors: Velasco Demetrio 
Published: October 2020

Los Derechos Humanos han sido por su intrínseca historicidad radicalmente problemáticos. Desde su creación, fueron expresión de un nuevo imaginario social de carácter revolucionario que rompió con la cosmovisión de la sociedad premoderna. Pero la misma historia ha evidenciado su insuficiencia teórica e incluso su perversión práctica, a la hora de alcanzar sus objetivos. “Toda sociedad en la cual la garantía de los derechos no esté asegurada ni la separación de poderes establecida no tiene Constitución” (Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano de 1789, art. 16). Hoy, vivimos una situación de fascismo social y de desigualdad tan inhumanos que se han convertido en una amenaza letal para la supervivencia de gran parte de la humanidad y también del ecosistema global que la posibilita. Es hora de crear un “nuevo orden ontológico revolucionario” desde el que garantizar la “verdad práctica”, la legitimidad política y la plausibilidad histórica del constitucionalismo del futuro. Debemos comenzar por eliminar el racismo institucional y el sadismo administrativo con los que rechazamos a los inmigrantes en las fronteras de nuestra civilizada Europa.Recibido: 03 febrero 2020Aceptado: 06 julio 2020Publicación en línea: Artículos en Prensa 23 octubre 2020
