Authors: Kuswana Dadang , Pauzian Muhamad Hilmi 
Published: February 2024

This research aims to discuss religious authority in the new media era, with the object of study being the Da'wah model of the Sabilul Huda Tasikmalaya Islamic boarding school. This paper uses ethnographic and netnographic methods. Ethnography was carried out by interviews and following book studies at the Sabilul Huda Islamic boarding school. Meanwhile, netnography conducts data searches on online participants. The results and discussion of this research include the relationship between religion and social media, the Sabilul Huda Islamic Boarding School's da'wah strategy on social media, and the authority of Islamic boarding schools and kiayi on social media. This research concludes that the interaction between religion and the internet causes positive and negative impacts. Another important finding is that about religious authority, the internet and religion follow the logic of discontinuity, namely viewing the internet as destroying traditional religious authority. Moreover, at the same time, the internet and religion can also follow the logic of continuity and complementarity. The Internet extends, complements, and strengthens traditional religious authority. Then, the strategy carried out by the Sabilul Huda Islamic boarding school in preaching and spreading its traditional religious sources on social media is carried out by live streaming the study of the Yellow Book on social media accounts, namely Sabilulhudamedia. Then, the authority of the traditional and charismatic Kiai is preserved by carrying out his preaching via social media. This research implies that this new da'wah model that utilizes online media keeps the influence of traditional religious authorities and Islamic boarding school Kiai.

I monaci camaldolesi, fatti venire a Cracovia all’inizo del Settecento dal monastero italiano di Monte Corona dall’iniziativa del maresciallo Mikołaj Wolski, si sono inseriti perfettamente nella vita e nel paesaggio della città. Pur essendo eremiti, i loro rapporti con questa città erano vivi e molteplici. Gli abitanti della città s’interessavano molto del loro sviluppo e, questa fu la causa, che molti cittadini li aiutavano con le loro donazioni. Si possono notare anche fra i monaci molti fili delle famiglie borghesi di Cracovia. Non meraviglia perciò che al monastero localizzato in un posto molto pittoresco venivano gliabitanti della città, innanzitutto in giorni quando ci si poteva entrare. I monaci e la loro attività si sono iscritti notevolmente nella riforma posttridentina della Chiesa in Polonia.Il monastero di Bielany con la sua particolare atmosfera è un luogo eccezionale nella cultura e storia di Cracovia che fiora sveglia nei pellegrini e visitanti il fascino della tranquillità della vita soprannaturale.

Authors: Bahmani Hadi , Mostofinejad Davood 
Published: February 2024

Novel ultra-high-performance concretes (UHPCs) made with calcium-oxide-activated materials (CAM), modified synthetic macro (MSM) fibres, glass fibres and steel fibres were developed. The mechanical and durability properties of UHPC-CAM specimens made with the different fibre types were tested and compared. The microstructure of the samples was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The environmental impacts of the mix designs were assessed using the Impact 2002+ method, a life cycle assessment tool. The results showed that the UHPC-CAM made with glass or MSM fibres had a high compressive strength (>110 MPa) and improved ductility. These specimens also had low water absorption and high electrical resistance, indicating low corrosion risk. SEM analyses showed that the MSM fibres created a denser geopolymer matrix than the glass fibres. The UHPC-CAM was found to have a lower environmental impact than conventional UHPC in terms of human health, ecosystem quality, carbon dioxide footprint and use of resources. MSM fibres were determined to be the most eco-friendly fibres for UHPC-CAM production.

Published: February 2024

Currently, despite the accumulated experience with the use of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in scientific and real clinical practice, there are a number of questions about its potential and the future prospects for its use.The aim of this work was to summarize new data on the use of NAC in patients with various conditions, based on publications in domestic and foreign medical journals.Results. The article presents an overview of publications in domestic and foreign medical journals devoted to the use of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in pulmonology practice. The experience with the use of NAC in chronic bronchitis (CB), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma, community-acquired pneumonia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, postinfectious bronchiectasis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) is summarized. The aspects of dose-dependent clinical effects and long-term administration of NAC in CB and COPD are analyzed. In addition, there are controversial and contradictory data on the possibility of prescribing NAC for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.Conclusion. NAC is a drug with a broad spectrum of action. Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, minor side effects compared to other anti-inflammatory drugs even at high doses, and low price, NAC can be prescribed for many respiratory diseases. Although it has been used for more than half a century, interest in both its practical application and clinical research has not waned to this day.

Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) and molecular hydrogen (iH2) are actively studied nowadays. The therapeutic algorithms for their use in the various conditions are being developed, but the combined use of these medical gases (MG) has not been studied well enough.The aim of the study was to assess the safety of iNO and iH2 combination in healthy volunteers.Methods. 10 healthy volunteers (4 males and 6 females), mean age 24.0 ± 1.3 years, were included in the open non-comparative prospective study. All volunteers received a single combined inhalation of NO and H2 for 90 minutes. The NO concentration was 60 ppm and the H2 concentration did not exceed 4% in the gas mixture. Changes in the vital signs, arterial blood gases, and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated. The hemodynamic parameters were investigated before and after inhalation using echocardiography (Vivid E9 General Electric, USA). We also assessed the microcirculation of the bulbar conjunctiva (“OKO” capillaroscope), the main functional lung parameters, and the diffusion lung capacity (GANSHORN PowerCube Body apparatus). The clinical side effects were recorded. After inhalation, the serum concentration of methemoglobin was evaluated.Results. When comparing the results before and after MG inhalation, there was no negative impact on the vital signs, arterial blood gases (РaO2, РaСO2, SаO2), the functional lung volumes (FEV1, FVC, FEV1 / FVC), the diffusion test parameters, main EchoCG hemodynamic data (ejection fraction, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), mean pulmonary artery pressure, left and right ventricular sizes) (p > 0,05). After inhalation, the microcirculatory parameters (the volume velocity in arterioles and venules and the arteriolar diameter) increased significantly (p < 0.05). We did not observe the increase in serum methemoglobin concentration (0.59 ± 0.11%). No clinical side effects were reported during the study.Conclusions. Combined use of inhaled NO / H2 is clinically safe, does not have any negative impact on hemodynamic parameters, functional lung volumes, and arterial blood gases. The improvement of the microcirculation was noted after a single inhalation. This new method can be recommended for further studies of the therapeutic effect in various conditions.
Current views on the functional role of hydrogen and its kinetics in the human body
Authors: Medvedev О. S. 
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this overview was to present historical data on the discovery of hydrogen and a brief summary of its physical properties that form the basis for its use in aeronautics. Information is provided on the use of hydrogen, a biologically neutral molecule, in medicine as a diagnostic indicator for penetrating wounds of the gastrointestinal tract, the determination of local blood flow using the hydrogen clearance method, the use of the hydrogen breath test for the diagnosis of malabsorption and carbohydrate intolerance, achlorhydria, the diagnosis of bacterial overgrowth syndrome, the assessment of biodegradation of magnesium-containing implants, the orocecal transit time, and during deep-sea diving. The reasons for the sharp increase in the doctors’ interest in studying the biological role of hydrogen after the discovery of its antioxidant properties by a group of Japanese scientists (2007) are analyzed. In order to increase antioxidant protection of the body, data from recent research on ways to increase its concentration in the body through the supply of exogenous gas by inhalation or by administering hydrogen-rich water or saline solution is presented. Particular attention is paid to a critical analysis of studies on the kinetics of hydrogen by different routes, its concentration in blood and tissues, inhalation, and the use of hydrogen-rich water. Based on an analysis of publications, that the use of molecular hydrogen to relieve oxidative stress in the tissues of the intestines, liver and lungs is most promising, since its highest concentration is found in these tissues. Fermentation of carbohydrates has also been shown to increase the production of hydrogen by the intestinal microbiota. Considering that a large number of molecular hydrogen generators appeared on the market, the data on the requirements for their safety are summarized. Considerations on the use of molecular hydrogen for the purpose of antioxidant protection of the body in cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, and other areas of medicine are based on modern views on the mechanisms of antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, cytoprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects of hydrogen. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of experimental and clinical research on the use of hydrogen in acute and chronic lung lesions, therapy of acute and chronic COVID-19 infection.Conclusion. Based on an analysis of the literature and our own data, a conclusion was drawn on the safety and prospects of the clinical use of molecular hydrogen in a wide range of concentrations in many diseases with the pathogenesis based on oxidative stress. In particular, the need for additional research was highlighted to clarify the regimen, frequency, duration and concentrations of hydrogen used, and a personalized approach to the combination of endogenous (from the intestinal microbiota) and exogenous hydrogen in various diseases.

Published: February 2024

Background: The house fly, Musca domestica, is vector for pathogens and parasites and causes economic damage to livestock by reducing forage conversion efficiency, negatively impacting weight gain and milk production. It has shown resistance to multiple insecticide classes. The aim of this research was to determine the susceptibility levels of seven­teen field M. domestica strains to thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid insecticide, in Türkiye.
Methods: Insecticide susceptibility of the house flies to thiamethoxam was determined using the WHO glass jar meth­od. A probit analysis program was used to determine LD50 values, and then the resistance ratios were compared with insecticide-susceptible strain.
Results: All strains were ≥18.5-fold resistant to thiamethoxam. The data showed that 10 out of 17 strains had either high or very high resistance levels. Our findings revealed that house flies from solid waste landfills in Samsun, Ankara, and Kocaeli exhibited higher resistance ratios compared to those found in animal shelters. Conversely, in Gaziantep, Antalya, İzmir and Erzurum, the exact opposite trend was observed. Regarding the LD50 values among solid waste stor­age areas, the lowest rate was obtained from Gaziantep (0.72 gr ai/m2), and the highest rate was obtained from Ankara (9.35 gr ai/m2). Furthermore, regarding the LD50 values among animal shelters, the lowest was obtained from Samsun (0.37 gr ai/m2), and the highest was obtained from Denizli (21800 gr ai/m2).
Conclusion: The use of integrated control systems is recommended for controlling house fly populations, including insecticide class rotations for preventing, or at least, delaying the onset of resistance.

Background: Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis is a major public health problem in Iran with the main vector of Phlebotomus papatasi. The use of entomopathogenic fungi for biological control of the vector is a potential substitute for the current methods which are being used. The purpose of the current study was to assess the virulence of two local isolates of Beauveria bassiana (OZ2 and TV) against Ph. papatasi.
Methods: To perform the bioassay test, fungal suspensions were applied for every stage of the sand fly life cycle. The mortality rate, longevity, and number of eggs laid were determined. Also, the probability of fungal survival on the sur­face of rodent’s body was assessed.
Results: The longevity of infected adult sand flies with both isolates of B. bassiana was significantly lower (P< 0.05) in comparison to the negative control. The estimated Lethal concentration 50 (LC50) values for adult female and male sand flies treated with OZ2 isolate were 1.4×106 and 2.2×107 conidia/ml, respectively, while they were 6.8×106 and 2.3×108 conidia/ml for TV iso­late, respectively. Both isolates of B. bassiana exhibited nonsignificant mortality rates in sand fly larvae and pupae and fecundity rate (P> 0.05). According to our findings for both isolates, the fungus continued to spread throughout the sur­face of the rodent's body for 144 hours after spraying.
Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that both isolates of B. bassiana have considerable biological control ca­pacity against adult sand flies.
