This article is a review of the book "Popular Indonesian Literature of the Qur'an" by Howard M. Federspiel (Ithaca: Cornell Modern Indonesia Project, Southeast Asia Program, Cornell University, 1994).This book is the first work written by Howard M. Federspiel, professor of political science, Ohio State University. Since his studies at McGill University, the development of Indonesian Islam has become a concern. He wrote his Ph.D. dissertation at the University of the Unity of Islam (Persis), one of the Indonesian Islamic reformist organizations that emphasize movement purification. Numerous works have also been published in various scientific journals with regard to the issue of Islam in modern Indonesia. Among these "Sukarno and His Muslim apologist", "The Political and Social Language of Indonesian Muslims: The Case of Al-Moslem", "An Introduction to Qur'anic Commentaries in Contemporary Southeast Asia". His work is still relatively new Muslim Intellectual and National Development in Indonesia. While the Popular Indonesian Literature of the Qur'an which will be discussed below is his latest work.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v2i2.839

In the last view years there have emerged some new tendencies in studying Muslim societies. One of the most important of these is the study of religio-cultural exchange among the various Muslim societies in the world. There is a little doubt that this kind of study is both interesting and challenging. It involves not only a form of comparative study of the Muslim societies have influenced each other in the course of history.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v2i3.832

Published: June 2014

ABSTRACTResearch on the effects of seeding rates (SDR) and row spacing (RS) on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed composition is almost nonexistent. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of SDR and RS on soybean seed protein, oil, fatty acids, sugars, and minerals using four soybean cultivars (P 93M90 and AG 3906, maturity group[MG] III; P 94B73, MG IV; and V 52N3, MG V) tested in 2006 and 2007. Seeding rates for P 93M90 and AG 3906 ranged from 247,000 to 592,800 seeds ha⁻1 and for P 94B73 and V 52N3 ranged from 60,000 to 180,000 seeds ha⁻1. Row spacings were 38 and 76 cm. Protein, oleic acid, sugars, P, and B concentrations increased with the increase of SDR in P 93M90 and AG 3906. However, after the maximum concentrations of these constituents were reached, a decrease was observed at the highest SDR. This trend was mainly observed in 2006 and depended on RS. In 2007, the opposite trend of protein and oleic acid concentrations was observed, where the protein and oleic decreased with SDR. In cultivars P 94B73 and V 52N3, results showed that protein concentration increased with SDR in 2006 and 2007 for both 38 and 76 cm RS. Oleic acid increased and linolenic acid decreased with SDR in 2006. The different trends of protein and oleic concentrations between years may be due to temperature and drought stress differences. This research showed that SDR and RS can alter seed constituents, and the magnitude of this effect depended on cultivar and environmental factors, especially temperature and drought.

Abstract
The use of square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry (SWAdSV) in conjunction with a cyclic renewable silver amalgam film electrode (Hg(Ag)FE) for the analytical determination of ambazone in urine samples and pharmaceutical formulations is described. A single reduction peak in Britton-Robinson buffer at pH 4.0 was detected at about −1.4 V versus Ag/AgCl. Mechanistic studies have shown that the compound can act as an electrocatalyst. The method was validated. The analytical curve was linear in the concentration range from 1.0×10−9 to 1.0×10−7 mol L−1. The detection and quantification limits were found to be 3.0×10−10 mol L−1 and 1.0×10−9 mol L−1, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to ambazone determination in real samples.
Biosorption of toxic metals using freely suspended Microcystis aeruginosa biomass
Authors: Rzymski Piotr , Niedzielski Przemysław , Karczewski Jacek , Poniedziałek Barbara 
Published: June 2014

Abstract
This paper describes the potential application of a freely suspended cyanobacterial biomass of Microcystis aeruginosa as a sorption material for toxic metals, cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions. In order to identify the most suitable conditions for removal of these elements (concentration range: 1–20 mg L−1), the laboratory experiments were carried out during different incubation times (1–48 h) and under various temperatures (10–40°C), pH (5–9) and with or without light irradiance. Competitive biosorption of Cd and Pb was also investigated. We found that M. aeruginosa demonstrates high efficiency in removing both of the studied metals from aqueous solutions. Sorption of Pb occurred, however, more rapidly and effectively, and was less disturbed by changes in physico-chemical conditions. Under pH=7, 25°C and light, the removal rates after 3 h and 6 h of incubation, were 90–100% for Pb and 79.5–100% for Cd, respectively. The co-occurrence of the metals decreased the rate of metal biosorption. Pb was sequestered preferentially over Cd. From the results we conclude that freely suspended M. aeruginosa can constitute a promising low-cost, easy-producible biosorbent material for toxic metals in contaminated wastewater.
Kinetic study of wood pyrolysis in presence of metal halides
Authors: Beliy Vladimir , Udoratina Elena 
Published: June 2014

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to study the kinetics of wood pyrolysis in the presence of inorganic salts, representatives of classes of alkali and alkaline earth metal halides (NaCl, KCl, KBr, CaCl2, BaCl2·2H2O) and Lewis acids (AlCl3·6H2O, FeCl3·6H2O, CuCl2, CuBr2, ZnCl2·1.5H2O, NiCl2·6H2O, SnCl2·2H2O) using TG-DSC. The activity of these catalysts was estimated by the temperature of the beginning of pyrolysis, charcoal yield and kinetic parameters, such as energy of activation and reaction order. Using the Lewis acids as catalysts for pyrolysis leads to a decrease in the temperature of the process beginning and the activation energy. In the presence of other catalysts activation energy does not significantly change. The increase of a seeming reaction order in the presence of Lewis acids possibly is a consequence of complication of the thermodestruction mechanism, with the appearance of new parallel competing stages.
Variability in Postural Control With and Without Balance-Based Torso- Weighting in People With Multiple Sclerosis and Healthy Controls
Authors: Hunt Charlotte M. , Widener Gail , Allen Diane D. 
Published: June 2014

BackgroundPeople with multiple sclerosis (MS) have diminished postural control, and center of pressure (COP) displacement varies more in this population than in healthy controls. Balance-based torso-weighting (BBTW) can improve clinical balance and mobility in people with MS, and exploration using both linear and nonlinear measures of COP may help determine whether BBTW optimizes movement variability.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of BBTW on people with MS and healthy controls during quiet standing.DesignThis was a quasi-experimental study comparing COP variability between groups, between eye closure conditions, and between weighting conditions in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions.MethodsTwenty participants with MS and 18 healthy controls stood on a forceplate in 4 conditions: eyes open and closed and with and without BBTW. Linear measures of COP displacement included range and root mean square (RMS). Nonlinear measures included approximate entropy (ApEn) and Lyapunov exponent (LyE). Three-way repeated-measures analyses of variance compared measures across groups and conditions. The association between weighting response and baseline nonlinear variables was examined. When significant associations were found, MS subgroups were created and compared.ResultsThe MS and control groups had significantly different range, RMS, and ApEn values. The eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions had significantly different range and RMS values. Change with weighting correlated with LyE (r=−.70) and ApEn (r=−.59). Two MS subgroups, with low and high baseline LyE values, responded to BBTW in opposite directions, with a significant main effect for weighting condition for the LyE variable in the medial-lateral direction.LimitationsThe small samples and no identification of impairments related to LyE at baseline were limitations of the study.ConclusionsThe LyE may help differentiate subgroups who respond differently to BBTW. In both subgroups, LyE values moved toward the average of healthy controls, suggesting that BBTW may help optimize movement variability in people with MS.
Can Physical Therapists Deliver a Pain Coping Skills Program? An Examination of Training Processes and Outcomes

Published: June 2014

Background
Physical therapists are well established as providers of treatments for common, painful, and disabling conditions, such as knee osteoarthritis (OA). Thus, they are well placed to deliver treatments that integrate physical and psychosocial elements. Attention is usually given to outcomes of such programs, but few studies have examined the processes and outcomes of training physical therapists to deliver such treatments.

Objective
The aim of this study was to describe the processes in training physical therapists: (1) to deliver a standardized pain coping skills treatment and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of that training.

Design
This study was an analysis of data relating to therapist performance in a randomized clinical trial.

Methods
Eleven physical therapists were trained to deliver a 10-session pain coping skills training program for people with knee OA as part of a randomized controlled trial (N=222). The initial training was provided in a workshop format and included extensive, ongoing supervision by a psychologist and rigorous use of well-defined performance criteria to assess competence. Adherence to the program, ratings of performance, and use of advanced skills were all measured against these criteria in a sample (n=74, 10%) of the audio recordings of the intervention sessions.

Results
Overall, the physical therapists achieved a very high standard of treatment delivery, with 96.6% adherence to the program and mean performance ratings all in the satisfactory range. These results were maintained throughout the intervention and across all sessions.

Limitations
Only 10% of the delivered sessions were analyzed, and the physical therapists who took part in the study were a self-selected group.

Conclusions
This study demonstrated that a systematic approach to training and accrediting physical therapists to deliver a standardized pain coping skills program can result in high and sustained levels of adherence to the program. Training fidelity was achieved in this group of motivated clinicians, but the supervision provided was time intensive. The data provide a promising indicator of greater potential for psychologically informed practice to be a feature of effective health care.

Object
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the surgical procedure of choice for patients with advanced Parkinson disease (PD). The globus pallidus internus (GPi) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) are commonly targeted by this procedure. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of DBS in each region.

Methods
MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Library were searched for English-language studies published before April 2013. Results of studies investigating the efficacy and clinical outcomes of DBS of the GPi and STN for PD were analyzed.

Results
Six eligible trials containing a total of 563 patients were included in the analysis. Deep brain stimulation of the GPi or STN equally improved motor function, measured by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Section III (UPDRSIII) (motor section, for patients in on- and off-medication phases), within 1 year postsurgery. The change score for the on-medication phase was 0.68 (95% CI – 2.12 to 3.47, p > 0.05; 5 studies, 518 patients) and for the off-medication phase was 1.83 (95% CI – 3.12 to 6.77, p > 0.05; 5 studies, 518 patients). The UPDRS Section II (activities of daily living) scores for patients on medication improved equally in both DBS groups (p = 0.97). STN DBS allowed medication dosages to be reduced more than GPi DBS (95% CI 129.27–316.64, p < 0.00001; 5 studies, 540 patients). Psychiatric symptoms, measured by Beck Depression Inventory, 2nd edition scores, showed greater improvement from baseline after GPi DBS than after STN DBS (standardized mean difference −2.28, 95% CI −3.73 to −0.84, p = 0.002; 3 studies, 382 patients).

Conclusions
GPi and STN DBS improve motor function and activities of daily living for PD patients. Differences in therapeutic efficacy for PD were not observed between the 2 procedures. STN DBS allowed greater reduction in medication for patients, whereas GPi DBS provided greater relief from psychiatric symptoms. An understanding of other symptomatic aspects of targeting each region and long-term observations on therapeutic effects are needed.

Object
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the major proangiogenic factor in many solid tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) is expressed in abundance in pediatric patients with medulloblastoma and is associated with tumor metastasis, poor prognosis, and proliferation. Gadolinium enhancement on MRI has been suggested to have prognostic significance for some tumors. The association of VEGF/VEGFR and Gd enhancement in medulloblastoma has never been closely examined. The authors therefore sought to evaluate whether Gd-enhancing medulloblastomas have higher levels of VEGFR and CD31. Outcomes and survival in patients with enhancing and nonenhancing tumors were also compared.

Methods
A retrospective analysis of patients with enhancing, nonenhancing, and partially enhancing medulloblastomas was performed. Primary end points included risk stratification, extent of resection, and perioperative complications. A cohort of 3 enhancing and 3 nonenhancing tumors was selected for VEGFR and CD31 analysis as well as microvessel density measurements.

Results
Fifty-eight patients were analyzed, and 20.7% of the medulloblastomas in these patients were nonenhancing. Enhancing medulloblastomas exhibited strong VEGFR1/2 and CD31 expression relative to nonenhancing tumors. There was no significant difference in perioperative complications or patient survival between the 2 groups.

Conclusions
These results suggest that in patients with medulloblastoma the presence of enhancement on MRI may correlate with increased vascularity and angiogenesis, but does not correlate with worse patient prognosis in the short or long term.
Iatrogenic cerebrospinal fluid leak and intracranial hypotension after gynecological surgery
Authors: Tu Albert , Creedon Kerry , Sahjpaul Ramesh 
Published: June 2014

Perineural cysts are common lesions of the sacral spine. They have rarely been reported in a presacral location, leading to their misdiagnosis as a gynecological lesion. The authors report the second such case, in a patient undergoing fenestration of what was presumed to be a benign pelvic cyst, and the resultant high-flow CSF leak that occurred. They describe the clinical presentation and manifestations of intracranial hypotension, as well as the pertinent investigations. They also review the literature for the best management options for this condition.
Although they are uncommon, large perineural cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis when examining patients with a pelvic lesion. Appropriate imaging investigations should be performed to rule out a perineural cyst. The CSF leak that occurs from iatrogenic cyst fenestration may not respond to traditional first-line treatments for intracranial hypotension and may require early surgical intervention. The authors would recommend neurosurgical involvement prior to definitive treatment.
Salvage excavations of the Afyon archaeological museum, part 2 : the settlement of Karaoğlan Mevkii and the Early Bronze Age cemetery of Kaklık Mevkii

Published: June 2014

This article deals with the salvage excavations of the Afyon Archaeological Museum at Karaoğlan Mevkii and Kakhk Mevkii in the north of the province. Here the EB 2 and EB 3 material from the cemetery at Kakhk Mevkii is considered, as well as the finds from the EB 2 settlement at Karaoğlan Mevkii.
The settlement, which corresponds to the second half of the EB 2 period, demonstrates a single cultural continuum comprised of two —or possibly three — architectural subphases. It is encircled by an impressive fortification wall replete with towers and buttresses. The layout of the settlement, although only partially excavated, reflects a somewhat degenerate version of the Anatolisches Siedlungsschema revealed at Demircihüyük. The pottery displays the characteristics of (and better defines) the 'Afyon EB 2 pottery group', previously recognized only through surface survey.
The graves at Kakhk Mevkii were found in two clusters (in Area A and in Area B), dug into the early EB 1 settlement treated in Part 1 . The graves fall chronologically into three groups. The earliest graves are the cists and pithos burials found in Area B, roughly contemporary with the settlement at Karaoglan Mevkii. A second group, concentrated in Area A, consists of pseudo-chamber tombs and simple inhumations from the very beginning of the EB 3 period. The latest graves are simple inhumations from mid-EB 3 times. The material from this cemetery — particularly considering the analogies between the finds here and those from the Demircihüyük-Sanket and Karatas/Semayük cemeteries— represents a significant contribution to the EBA chronology of inland western Anatolia.
Learning the Preferences of Physicians for the Organization of Result Lists of Medical Evidence Articles
Authors: Wilk S. , Michalowski W. , Slowinski R. , Thomas R. , Kadzinski M. , Farion K. , O´Sullivan D. 
Published: June 2014

SummaryBackground: Online medical knowledge repositories such as MEDLINE and The Cochrane Library are increasingly used by physicians to retrieve articles to aid with clinical decision making. The prevailing approach for organizing retrieved articles is in the form of a rank-ordered list, with the assumption that the higher an article is presented on a list, the more relevant it is.Objectives: Despite this common list-based organization, it is seldom studied how physicians perceive the association between the relevance of articles and the order in which articles are presented. In this paper we describe a case study that captured physician preferences for 3-element lists of medical articles in order to learn how to organize medical knowledge for decision-making.Methods: Comprehensive relevance evaluations were developed to represent 3-element lists of hypothetical articles that may be retrieved from an online medical knowledge source such as MEDLINE or The Cochrane Library. Comprehensive relevance evalua tions asses not only an article’s relevance for a query, but also whether it has been placed on the correct list position. In other words an article may be relevant and correctly placed on a result list (e.g. the most relevant article appears first in the result list), an article may be relevant for a query but placed on an incorrect list position (e.g. the most relevant article appears second in a result list), or an article may be irrelevant for a query yet still appear in the result list. The relevance evaluations were presented to six senior physi cians who were asked to express their preferences for an article’s relevance and its position on a list by pairwise comparisons representing different combinations of 3-element lists. The elicited preferences were assessed using a novel GRIP (Generalized Regression with Intensities of Preference) method and represented as an additive value function. Value functions were derived for individual physicians as well as the group of physicians.Results: The results show that physicians assign significant value to the 1st position on a list and they expect that the most relevant article is presented first. Whilst physicians still prefer obtaining a correctly placed article on position 2, they are also quite satisfied with misplaced relevant article. Low consideration of the 3rd position was uniformly confirmed.Conclusions: Our findings confirm the importance of placing the most relevant article on the 1st position on a list and the importance paid to position on a list significantly diminishes after the 2nd position. The derived value functions may be used by developers of clinical decision support applications to decide how best to organize medical knowledge for decision making and to create personalized evaluation measures that can augment typical measures used to evaluate information retrieval systems.
