Ketegangan Politik Antar (Dinasti) Islam di Kawasan Laut Tengah Abad ke-10
Authors: Pangaribuan Nuraini 
Published: January 2025

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang melatarbelakangi terjadinya ketegangan politik dalam dunia Islam di kawasan Laut Tengah pada abad ke-10 yang terfokus pada Islam di Afrika Utara dan Andalusia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode analisis-deskriptif yang mengacu pada sumber-sumber literatur yang berkaitan dengan topik penelitian. Adapun jenis penelitian ini yaitu berbasis library research. Temuan dari penelitian ini yaitu telah diketahui bahwa yang melatarbelakangi terjadinya ketegangan politik antar Islam di Laut Tengah (Afrika Utara dan Andalusia) yakni faktor teologis. Hal ini bisa dilihat dari masa kerajaan Islam di Afrika Utara, yakni dinasti Idrisiah, Aghlabiah, dinasti Toulun, dinasti Ikhshid, dinasti Fatimiah bahkan dinasti Murabithun dan Muwahiddun. Semua dinasti-dinasti ini mempunyai paham teologi yang berbeda-beda, dan akhirnya mendorong mereka untuk melakukan ekspansi ke berbagai wilayah dan pada akhirnya bertujuan pada ekspansi ekonomi dan kekuasaan. Sedangkan di Andalusia ketegangan politik terjadi karena faktor internalnya sendiri, faktor internal tersebut berlangsung sebanyak dua kali yaitu ketika terjadinya perselisihan antaran mazhab Maliki dengan Mazhab Hambali dimasa Muhammad ibn Abdurrahman II sedang naik tahta. Konflik kedua terjadi sepeninggal khalifah Hakam II yang tidak meninggalkan penerus tahta kepemimpinan.

Abstract

Objective
Quantify the concentration of α2-macroglobulin (A2M), immunomodulatory cytokines, and TGF-β1 factors in 4 commercially available autologous blood-based products including conditioned A2M (CA2M; Alpha2EQ; Astaria Global), autologous protein solution (APS; Pro-Stride; Zoetis), platelet-rich plasma (PRP; Restigen; Zoetis), and autologous conditioned plasma (ACP; Arthrex ACP). We hypothesized that CA2M would have higher concentrations of A2M and lower concentrations of cytokines and growth factors compared to APS, PRP, and ACP.

Methods
Blood was obtained from 6 healthy, adult horses and processed into CA2M, APS, PRP, and ACP. The concentration of immunomodulatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17a, and TNF-α, and the concentration of the growth factor TGF-β1 were quantified using immunoassays. The concentration of the IL-1 receptor antagonist was quantified using ELISA. The concentration of A2M was quantified using mass spectrometry.

Results
No differences in the concentrations of IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17a were found. Median TGF-β1 was significantly higher in APS (10,801 pg/mL; P < .05), PRP (6,219 pg/mL; P < .05), and ACP (5,263 pg/mL; P < .05) compared to CA2M (2,090 pg/mL). The IL-1 receptor antagonist was significantly higher in APS (58.78 ng/mL) and PRP (40.45 ng/mL). Median A2M concentration was significantly higher in APS (4.08 mg/mL; P < .001) compared to CA2M (1.99 mg/mL).

Conclusions
Autologous blood-based products have notably different immunomodulatory and growth factor profiles. These differences likely reflect variable concentrations of platelets and WBCs, as well as processing methods.

Clinical Relevance
Equine veterinarians should be aware of the constituents of the different orthobiologics available before use.
Technologies of the Self and Accounts of Oneself: Political and Aesthetic Elaboration of Heterotopic and Unframed Experience
Authors: Caldas Pessoa Sônia , Sá Martino Luis Mauro , Salgueiro Marques Ângela Cristina 
Published: January 2025

The aim of this article is to reflect on two possibilities of political and aesthetical experience that can transform oneself. We dialogue with the reflections of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler on the techniques of the self and political subjectivation, which offer us a perspective of resistance and experimentation, to characterize the transformative power of heterotopic and unframing experience. Through a theoretical approach, we intend to bring points of approximation into play considering the necessity to promote changes in the frameworks that structure the architecture of the visible, sayable and thinkable. These alterations are a product, simultaneously, of the emergence of processes of political subjectivation and the unframing of schemes of biopolitical control which allows disidentification with an imposed identity, modifying the relations between elements that locate subjects and group in a given social order. Both authors affirm the importance of questioning schemes of legibility and intelligibility of the world so that we can imagine and effectively build a common non-hierarchic order, that recognizes the dignity of all existences. We believe that heterotopic experiences, as well as unframing experiences can be disruptive and transformative, for they rely on the double capacity to critically reflect on the power-knowledge relations that constitute one's subjectivity and the capacity to engage in self-transformation practices that can modify the way one engages in community issues.

Control and analysis of competitive activity is an important component of the athlete training system. One of the effective scientific and methodical approaches to the control of competitive activity is the integral assessment of technical and tactical activity.
The purpose of the study is to determine the model values of the integral assessment of the technical and tactical activity of highly qualified football players of various playing roles.
Research material and methods. The research was conducted during 2018-2023. The competitive activity of football players of national teams was analyzed. The scientific search was carried out on the basis of such methods as: theoretical analysis of literary sources, pedagogical observation of competitive activity, video analysis of competitive activity, methods of mathematical statistics.
Research results. The structure of the integral assessment of technical and tactical activity consists of six specific coefficients – intensity (KI), mobility (CM), aggressiveness (KA), efficiency (KE), martial arts efficiency (KEE), creativity (KK). Model values of the integral assessment of technical and tactical performance have been determined for highly qualified football players in various playing positions: for full-backs (n=20) – 5.26±0.77 points; for center-backs (n=20) – 5.11±0.54 points; for defensive midfielders (n=18) – 5.61±0.86 points; for wide midfielders (n=18) – 5.59±0.91 points; for inside forwards (n=18) – 5.71±0.77 points; and for strikers (n=18) – 4.90±0.84 points. Based on specific coefficients of technical and tactical performance, it has been established that the most dynamic gameplay is characteristic of defensive midfielders, wide midfielders, and inside forwards.
Conclusions. An integral assessment of technical and tactical activity most fully reflects the characteristics of highly qualified football players of various playing roles.

An investigation of triple system estimators in censuses
Authors: Baffour Bernard , Brown James J. , Smith Peter W.F. 
Published: January 2025

The value of a census cannot be overstated, given that no other data resource provides such detailed information about the population. Further, censuses are often the only historical data source to map out change over time due the consistency of questions asked. However, it is often the most expensive undertaking – other than going to war – that a country embarks on. Countries are thus seeking more cost-effective alternatives. This paper details some exploratory research into one such alternative, based on capture-recapture methods. Capture recapture methods have been used for population estimation for decades, but the focus has been on dual system estimation. Dual system measurement of the population has been criticized for its reliance on the independence assumption between the two systems. This assumption is untestable, and failure introduces bias into the estimates of the population. The most logical improvement of dual system estimation is triple system estimation. In this paper, a simulation study is carried out to compare the performance of different dual and triple system estimators of the population size under various dependency scenarios. Performance is explored through both the bias and variability. The study shows that the dual system estimator copes well with dependence, provided the coverage of both lists are reasonably high. In addition, although the triple system estimators yield less biased estimates of the population, the dual system estimator is shown to be robust enough to cope with low levels of dependence.

Authors: de Martino Valeria , Rossetti Stefania , Rossi Daniela 
Published: January 2025

This paper describes the main features and the evolution of an interactive flagship publication disseminated by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat) since 2010: Noi Italia – 100 statistics to understand the country we live in. It gathers about 120 factsheets grouped in 19 thematic sectors ranging from economic and social fields to demographic and environmental ones, allowing users to compare national position with that of other European countries and to focus on regional differences within Italy. The product has evolved from a static to a dynamic visualization, embedding new data visualization component (vislet eXplorer), that use widget technologies based on a GeoAnalytics Visualization tool, Statistics eXplorer. Moreover, users can download graphs, tables and time series and take further insight on each topic through links and main references. The product follows principles of accessibility and clarity of dissemination, according to the Code of Practice for European statistics and opening new scenarios also for the Istat project Stat 2015. The website is available both in Italian and in English helping to promote Istat data production abroad. A special effort is underway in order to disseminate Noi Italia to schools, improving the statistical literacy of young generations.
Data quality evaluation in statistical data processing
Authors: Šķiltere Daina , Jesiļevska Svetlana 
Published: January 2025

National Statistical Offices (NSO's) need data for the production of statistics. Apart from data obtained through surveys, NSO's are increasingly using other data sources (for example, data collected by other organizations). Disadvantages here come from the fact that very often an NSO uses an administrative data source for a purpose different than the one for which the data was originally collected. As a result of this difference, the 'statistical' usability of a data source needs to be thoroughly studied by an NSO before its use. Some more possible problems of statistics are the following: data sources, recent data, regularity, timeliness of data, updating data, time series, data frequency (annual, quarterly, monthly or daily data required), data comparability (is it possible to compare one country's performance against another or group of countries etc.), data costs. Sometimes, the required data do not exist; data from different sources are not always comparable. Also, the quality of some information needs an improvement. It is therefore of vital importance that a systematic approach is available to determine the quality of statistical data. For this purpose a quality framework have been developed by authors to determine whether statistical data is of quality required for their intended use.
UK release practices for official microdata
Authors: Ritchie Felix 
Published: January 2025

This paper describes the principles and practices by which microdata collected by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) is made available to researchers. Access to detailed confidential microdata, often from official sources, is acknowledged to be one of the great unrealised opportunities constraining the development of much academic and policy research. Recent developments across the world have improved access for some countries considerably, but progress is still patchy. Some of this delay is due to fear of the new; concerns over risk; worries over cost or feasibility; or just simply how to choose between a myriad of different solutions. This paper considers the development of access to confidential microdata using the UK as an example. The UK Office for National Statistics has developed a coherent framework for providing data: everything from internet access to secure labs can be considered within the same framework. The aim is to achieve a balance of cost, access and detail through a finite set of options, enabling both flexibility and economies of scale. A central role is played by the ONS' remote access facility, a secure thin-client desktop. This paper considers the problems that arose during the development and operation of the facility, current concerns, and challenges it will face in the future.

Reshaping health statistics is a continuous process, but it strides with unequal pace. Some years carry promises of upcoming profound changes, while others only offer hard labour on smaller steps forward. In order to allow modest speculation on the next 5 years, the changes that took place in the past 15 years are considered and put onto historical perspective. Based on five examples (morbidity, causes of death, health and social accounts, health care production, and health interview surveys), common factors in the developments are sought. In retrospect, decisive developments were improved technical, legal, and methodological possibilities to perform record linkage, both of persons and of institutions. These developments co-occurred with an increased permissiveness of public opinion about record linkage, and the existence of many external linkable data sets. Consequently, many statistics are now based upon multiple sources. For the next 5 years, developments that build on the same approach are expected to dominate. Non-official health statistics will flourish, as other organisations can reap the benefits of new technology and record linkage too. This may lead to a variety of statistical approaches, with non-comparable outcomes. Continuing deregulation of health care is a threat for the stability of data sources and output descriptions.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundIschemic heart disease (IHD) is estimated to cause more than 9 million deaths worldwide yearly. Some risk factors for IDH may be associated with religiosity/spirituality.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to assess the relationship between religiosity/spirituality and ischemic heart disease.Material and methodsA total of 333 participants were enrolled in the study (age 40-85). The study group included participants who had been diagnosed with IHD, while the control group had not been diagnosed with IHD. We used validated Polish version of the Duke University Religion Index, the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale, and Beck’s Depression Inventory. The study data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, and univariable and multivariable logistic regression.ResultsIn this study, we show that attendance at religious meetings (several times a month) and private religious practices (several times a month) are associated with a decreased prevalence of ischemic heart disease. Depression, physical activity, and not taking cholesterol-lowering and antihypertensive medication were associated with an increased prevalence of IHD. However, no association was shown between experiencing the presence of the Divine or religious beliefs and IHD.ConclusionsThe use of some aspects of religiosity/spirituality as a tool to complement treatment could also provide cheap, non-pharmacological support for patient care enhancing their quality of life.

IntroductionEarly preimplantation embryos of mammals exhibit pronounced sensitivity to hyperosmotic conditions, which results in an embryonic developmental block. The reduction of medium osmolarity or the supplementation with organic osmolytes can eliminate this arrest. Therefore, cell volume homeostasis is essential for embryonic development in vitro. Oocytes become capable of independent volume regulation after detaching from the follicle microenvironment. Whether the efficiency and quality of oocyte maturation can be improved by optimizing cell volume regulation by adjusting the osmolality of the culture medium in the presence of the organic osmolyte of glycine remains to be determined.MethodsThe IVM of porcine oocytes was divided into two stages, i.e. the first 22 h as the first stage, and the last 22 h as the second stage. In the presence of 1 mM glycine, we adjusted the osmolality of the culture medium from low to high (290 mOsM for the first 22 h and 320 mOsM thereafter) by adding raffinose, which cannot be used by animal cells, in a culture stage-dependent manner.ResultsStage-dependent adjustment of simplified medium PZM-3 osmolarity (290 mOsM for the first 22 h and 320 mOsM thereafter) in the presence of 1 mM glycine significantly improved the quality of porcine oocyte maturation in vitro, manifested by the oocyte maturation rate, functional mitochondrial distribution and activity, the transcript levels of glycolysis genes in granulosa cells, and subsequent embryonic developmental ability and ROS levels.ConclusionOur study demonstrates that optimizing cell volume regulation can further enhance the developmental potential of oocytes cultured in vitro.
Impact of remnant cholesterol on acute ischemic stroke prognosis: a nationwide cohort analysis stratified by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease status

Published: January 2025

BackgroundRemnant cholesterol (RC) is an emerging non-traditional risk factor for cardiovascular diseases that has garnered increasing attention. In addition, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may interact synergistically with RC. This study aimed to evaluate the association between RC and functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients and to investigate the potential interaction effect between RC and NAFLD.MethodsThis study utilized data from the Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-III), which includes ischemic stroke patients monitored for 3 months post-stroke onset. RC was calculated by subtracting both low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) from total cholesterol. Poor functional outcomes were defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3–6 at the 3-month follow-up. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the association between RC and functional outcomes. Interaction effect analysis was performed to investigate how NAFLD modifies the relationship between RC and prognosis.ResultsAmong the 7, 234 participants, the mean age was 62.96 ± 11.44 years and 4,572 (63.2%) were male individuals. Compared to the lowest quartile of RC (Q1), the highest quartile of the RC (Q4) was associated with a lower risk of poor functional outcomes (OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.96–1.00). Meanwhile, we observed a similar relationship between RC and poor functional outcomes in patients with NAFLD (OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.93–0.99); however, in those without NAFLD, there was no significant association between RC and poor functional outcomes.ConclusionWe found an inverse relationship between RC levels and poor functional outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke, which was influenced by NAFLD. Future studies are needed to determine the optimal target levels of RC in NAFLD patients.

BackgroundIt has been well established that psychiatric disorders are often accompanied by cognitive dysfunction. Previous studies have investigated the verbal fluency task (VFT) for detecting executive function impairment in different psychiatric disorders, but the sensitivity and specificity of this task in different psychiatric disorders have not been explored. Furthermore, clarifying the mechanisms underlying variations in executive function impairments across multiple psychiatric disorders will enhance our comprehension of brain activity alternations among these disorders. Therefore, this study combined the VFT and the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the impairment of executive function across psychiatric disorders including anxiety disorder (AD), sleep disorder (SD) and major depressive disorder (MDD).MethodsTwo hundred and eight participants were enrolled including 52 AD, 52 SD, 52 MDD and 52 healthy controls (HCs). All participants completed the VFT while being monitored using fNIRS to measure changes in brain oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb).ResultsOur results demonstrated that MDD, AD and SD exhibited decreased overall connectivity strength, as well as reduced connected networks involving the frontal and temporal regions during the VFT comparing to HC. Furthermore, the MDD group showed a reduction in connected networks, specifically in the left superior temporal gyrus and precentral gyrus, compared to the AD group.ConclusionOur study offers neural evidence that the VFT combined with fNIRS could effectively detect executive function impairment in different psychiatric disorders.
