Authors: Pérez-Herráez Isabel , Valencia-Peris Alexandra , Peiró Velert Carmen 
Published: December 2024

Introducción: En la actualidad, la mayoría de jóvenes e infantes no realizan suficiente actividad física (AF). Aunque el contexto escolar se erige como una de las instituciones que debe liderar la promoción de la AF y la salud en escolares, la evidencia señala que las intervenciones que se llevan a cabo no están siendo suficientemente efectivas y sostenibles.
Objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar de forma sistemática las intervenciones y programas desarrollados en los centros escolares españoles para aumentar los niveles de AF del alumnado y su compromiso activo a lo largo de la vida.
Metodología: El presente estudio siguió el método PRISMA y se incluyeron 22 artículos en el análisis.
Resultados y discusión: Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de las intervenciones analizadas para la promoción de AF en el contexto escolar se han desarrollado en las etapas de Educación Primaria y Secundaria. Existen diferentes modelos de intervención que pueden ser eficaces, aunque la participación institucional suele ser escasa. En cuanto a las intervenciones específicas, las propuestas más comunes fueron el transporte activo y los patios activos, y las menos comunes los descansos activos o las actividades extraescolares.
Conclusiones: La mayoría de las intervenciones analizadas no adoptan un enfoque holístico multicomponente, multinivel o multicomportamiento. Por tanto, es necesario que el diseño e implementación de estos programas se apoyen en la evidencia adaptándose a las necesidades requeridas por los diferentes contextos para garantizar esquemas de promoción de la salud eficaces y sostenibles en el tiempo.

إعجازية لغة القرآن: الدراسة عن فكرة الشيخ متولي الشعراوي
Authors: Hazuar  , Bambang Bambang 
Published: December 2024

ركزت العديدة من الدراسات على إعجاز القرآن الكريم، إلا أن القليل منها تناول بالتفصيل أفكار الشيخ متولي الشعراوي حول الإعجاز اللغوي للقرآن. هذا البحث يهدف إلى استكشاف تلك الأفكار وتحليلها، مستخدمًا المنهج الوصفي الكيفي. وأما النتائج الرئيسية من هذا البحث فهي أن المعجزة تنقسم إلى نوعين وهي حسية ومعنوية، وأما فكرة الإعجاز اللغوي للقرآن الكريم عند الشيخ متولي الشعراوي، أولها: الإعجاز اللغوي للقرآن الكريم في شكل قدرته على التواصل مع المتلقين ذوي الحالات النفسية المتنوعة، وثانيها: وجوده في الأشكال غير العادية للأساليب الأدبية للقرآن الكريم، كالانتقال من النثر إلى الشعر، ولكن هذا الانتقال لا يلحظه القارئ. ثالثاً: الإعجاز اللغوي في القرآن الكريم يتمثل في شخص النبي الذي كان لا يقرأ ولا يكتب، ولكنه كان ينطق بحروف القرآن. رابعاً: اللغة العربية المستخدمة في القرآن الكريم هي اللغة التي يستخدمها العرب كل يوم، ولكنهم لم يستطيعوا أن ينافسوا لغة القرآن نفسه. خامساً: الدقة غير العادية في اختيار الكلمات أو العبارات في القرآن الكريم. سادسا: هناك ظواهر لآيات تبدو أسلوبها اللغوي متناقضاً للوهلة الأولى، ولكن عند التدقيق فيها بعناية لا نجد فيها أي تناقض. والاستنتاج من هذه الدراسة هي أنه وفقا للشيخ المتولي، فإن الجانب الإعجازي للقرآن من حيث اللغة ليس منفردا، بل يمكن رؤيته في ستة جوانب مختلفة، كل منها، إذا تم استكشافه ودراسته, سيكشف عن الإعجاز الخارق للطبيعة. كل جانب من هذه الجوانب يشير إلى أن القرآن كلام الله تعالى وليس من صنع البشر

Published: December 2024

Tuberculosis is an endemic. The menace of tuberculosis has affected one third of human population. Pakistan ranks 6th among high burden TB countries and 4th among the countries with highest rate of MDR-TB. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis, has an incubation time of 8 weeks. Its fast and rapid diagnosis is required for its effective control. Molecular methods have been developed for the rapid diagnosis of TB yet the importance of conventional methods cannot be denied. LJ Culturing is considered gold standard. In the present study, a total of 90 sputum samples were taken from different cities of Punjab, Pakistan. After decontamination, the samples were subjected to LJ culturing and fluorescent microscopy. GeneXpert MTB/RIF Assay of the samples was also performed. The sensitivity of GeneXpert in comparison to culturing and microscopy was calculated. PCR of 20 rifampicin resistant samples was also performed using the primers for rpoB gene and the purified amplicons were sequenced. The sequences were analysed through various bioinformatics tools. Phylogenetic tree was constructed in comparison with wild type H37Rv MTB strain and mutations leading to rifampicin resistance were determined. The results exhibited greater sensitivity of GeneXpert MTB/RIF Assay over gold standard LJ culturing as well as fluorescent microscopy. The 49 suspected samples were found to be MTB positive with GeneXpert, 23 with microscopy and 20 with LJ culturing. Out of the 49 MTB positive samples, 23 were rifampicin resistant. Mutational analysis showed mutations in the 445th codon of RRDR of rpoB gene which inhibits the activity of RNA polymerase beta subunit. GeneXpert was found to be more sensitive than both LJ Culturing and smear microscopy. Mutational analysis showed mutations most frequently at codon 531. Mutations were also reported in other codons such as 533, 526 and 516 but these mutations were less frequent.

Published: December 2024

The relevance of this study lies in the impact of the information society on the development and changes in Oriental languages worldwide. The preservation of their cultural diversity and unique features depends largely on their development in today’s world. The study aims to examine how languages from Asia and other Eastern regions have adapted to globalization, including new technologies such as the Internet, artificial intelligence, and social networks. The study used theoretical research methods, including analytical and comparative methods of generalization and systematization. It was found that global technological changes have greatly impacted Oriental languages, threatening the preservation of the cultural identity of their speakers. In the information society, Oriental languages play key roles in communication, preserving and sharing cultural heritage, and promoting cultural exchange between different parts of the world. Eastern languages are actively adapting to the needs of the information society, using advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, and other innovations to improve communication practices. These changes help preserve and integrate traditional language practices from both Eastern and Western societies. At the same time, the study identifies challenges for the development of Eastern languages due to globalization, which calls for new strategies to protect linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. One effective solution is the use of technologies for digital archiving and documenting linguistic aspects. The research provides a basis for developing language policies, educational programs, and digital archiving initiatives to protect and promote Oriental languages in the face of globalization and technological progress.
