The Role of the Office of Religious Affairs in the Prevention of Underage Marriage in the perspective of Maqashid Syariah
Authors: Rahmadhani Layla Rizki , Attamimi Faisal , Hanafi Suhri 
Published: January 2024

This study discuss role of the Office of Religious Affairs in preventing underage marriages from the perspective of maqashid syari’ah. This study used qualitative approach with a case study methodology. Both primary and secondary data were utilized in this study, employing data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and written document analysis. The findings of this study show that the role of the religious office in preventing underage marriages involves the implementation of two preventive activities, namely, religious study sessions (majelis ta’lim) and the formation of mosque youth groups. The role of the office in preventing underage marriages should be further enhanced, advocating for the optimal implementation of religious study programs and the formation of mosque youth groups in prevention efforts. The challenge factors include insufficient funding and a lack of community attention. From the maqashid syari’ah perspective, the role of the office in preventing underage marriages does not align with the Sharia objectives in preserving lineage (hifz nazhl). This misalignment arises because the office role falls short of regulating marriages in accordance with the dictates of Sharia and the Marriage Law regarding age regulations. Implications of this study call for the necessity of enhancing the office role in preventing underage marriages to align with maqashid syari’ah universally.
Statistical correlations between cells, blood vessels, oxytalan fibres and nerves in normal mouse molar periodontal ligament using transmission electron microscopy
Authors: Freezer Simon R. , Sims Milton R. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Mandibular ligament mesiobuccal to the mouse first molar was sectioned from the alveolar crest to the tooth apex in three animals. At statistically predetermined levels, TEM sections were examined and then quantified using stereological techniques. Statistically significant associations between periodontal cells, blood vessels, oxytalan fibres, nerves and cells were elucidated by constructing Pearson correlation matrices on a Cyber 173 mainframe computer. These results establish a mathematical model for normal mouse molar periodontal ligament. Fibroblasts demonstrate a statistically significant correlation with both oxytalan fibres enclosed in collagen bundles (p < ·01) and oxytalan fibres lying adjacent to periodontal cells (p < ·01). Moreover, K-cells have a statistically significant correlation with perivascular oxytalan fibres (p < ·05), myelinated and unmyelinated axons (p < ·05 and p < ·01, respectively) and anatomically distinct blood vessels which contain 88 percent of the periodontal blood volume (p < ·01). The findings also indicate that separate vascular and nonvascular populations of oxytalan fibres and nerve axons occur within the ligament. A further statistical association exists between myelinated and unmyelinated nerves in both the tissue parenchyma (p < ·01) and within blood vessel walls (p < ·01). These previously unreported associations of complex structures may delineate operant mechanisms that could influence functional tooth support and orthodontic tooth movement.

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe following is a preliminary report from the Orthodontic Services Coimnittee of the A.S.O. based on the results of the Manpower Survey carried out in 1992 which referred to the manpower situation as it applied at census time, August 1991. Insufficient responses were obtained for this survey to provide a complete picture of the present manpower situation; however, changes of a general nature are clear. This is a call for more responses in order to obtain a clearer picture of the regional distribution of orthodontic services.
The community and orthodontic care Part I: community-perceived need and demand for orthodontic treatment
Authors: Coyne Rhonda , Woods Michael , Abrams Richard 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
A professionally managed telephone survey was undertaken to assess communily-perceived need and demand for orthodontic treatment, and to determine the proportion of the communily with a history of having some form of orthodontic treatment. The sample included 505 respondents, aged eighteen and over, from metropolitan and non-metropolitan households across the state of Victoria in Australia The sample distribution hod a ninely-five per cent confidence limit with a five per cent margin of error, and closely matched the known population distributions for age, sex and geographical location. From the survey it can be concluded that apparently forly-four per cent of Victorian families include someone who has already received some form of orthodontic treatment. Twenly-five per cent of the survey respondents perceived some need for the treatment of a family member; only fifteen per cent of respondents, however, reported that someone in their family actually wanted treatment. This survey has established baseline values for communily-perceived need and demand for orthodontic treatment. Use of these values should assist in future resource management within both the public and private sectors.
A comparison of autotransplantation and orthodontics in a case exhibiting two ectopic upper cuspids
Authors: Schneider Paul M. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Bilateral severely ectopic maxillary cuspids were treated differently on each side. On one side the ectopic cuspid was moved into position orthodontically, and on the other, the ectopic cuspid was positioned by autotransplantation. The orthodontic positioning took a long time and the tooth exhibited root resorption. Treatment time for the autotransplantation positioning was far quicker, and there was no resorption nor were there any other side effects.

Huaqiao Nongchang: Isolated Settlements of Overseas Chinese Inside China
Authors: Strukova P. E. 
Published: January 2024

This study offers a comprehensive exploration and analysis of "huaqiao nongchang," commonly known as overseas Chinese farms, situated within contemporary China's territorial boundaries. These administrative units, established in the 1950s-1980s, served as an intriguing aspect of emigrant administration and were established in three distinct phases. Initially, they functioned as agricultural entities, predominantly inhabited by ethnic Chinese returning en masse from countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others to the newlyformed People's Republic of China in 1949.The author's primary objective is to fill gaps in our understanding of this phenomenon and to dissect the logic behind the stages of their creation, settlement, and subsequent reforms within China. This article excels in its contextualization within the historical framework, shedding light on the unique characteristics of these settlements. A comprehensive analysis of works by Chinese experts uncovers a significant reason for the PRC authorities' adoption of this approach: it provided a swift solution to hunger-related issues and the employment of vast refugee populations.As time progressed, drawbacks in this approach to managing emigrants became apparent. The initial economic struggles of these settlements, coupled with unfavorable socio-cultural environments and a lack of effective organizational strategies for settlers, necessitated ongoing reforms. The transformation of certain "huaqiao nongchang" units from unproductive state farms into profitable agricultural enterprises occurred due to various factors, including decentralization of decision-making, redirection toward local markets, alleviation of social tensions, workforce training, and their integration into the broader Chinese economy.This article supplements its analysis with excerpts from settlers' memoirs, offering firsthand insights into the lives and experiences of overseas Chinese emigrants returning to their homeland. Additionally, it provides a concise examination of the terminology associated with this subject matter.

Authors: Barsky K. M. 
Published: January 2024

This editorial introduces a series of papers based on presentations made at the "Soviet Diplomacy during World War II" conference held at MGIMO on June 30, 2023. It draws attention to notable aspects of Soviet diplomacy during the wartime period. Firstly, it highlights the persistent effort and skill in negotiating despite significant divergences in interests and approaches. Secondly, it discusses the adeptness in striking a careful balance between steadfastly maintaining one's stance and employing flexibility and pragmatism to achieve the ultimate objective of victory over the enemy. Thirdly, the article examines the history of international negotiations during World War II as an illustration of the clash and collaboration among prominent political figures, notably emphasizing how I.V. Stalin often outplayed his counterparts in this personalized “diplomacy of leaders.”The history of World War II compellingly illustrates the necessity of diplomacy, not only during the conflict but also in the transition to peace and negotiations thereafter, as well as in the establishment of a new global order.

The Impact of Sustainable Practices on Creating Value for Banks in Emerging Countries
Authors: Dos Santos Vinicius Pereira , Jucá Michele Nascimento 
Published: January 2024

Objective: Analyze the impact of sustainable practices on the value of banks, located in 28 countries in emerging economies of Latin America, Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Europe and Middle East.

Theoretical framework: The current lack of consensus on the impact of sustainable practices in the banking industry may be an indication of the existence of friction related to market efficiency, resulting from informational asymmetry, agency conflicts and lack of adequate signaling between different stakeholders.
Methodology: Hypothesis H1 - Sustainable practices impact the value of the banks in the study is verified through a regression with pooled data and robustness tests.

Results and conclusions: Banks consider that the adoption of sustainable practices does not add value in the short term.

Research implications: A possible explanation for this fact is presented by the overinvestment hypothesis. According to it, the application of resources in sustainable activities causes banks to divert resources from their main objective of maximizing shareholder wealth to meet the demands of other stakeholders - which leads to a reduction in their value.

Originality/value: Among the differences in this study is the analysis of banks located in emerging countries. The result obtained provides feedback to the financial market in its investment decisions in banks that adopt sustainable practices, especially in developing countries. Another aspect to be highlighted is the maintenance or change of policies adopted - by countries' regulatory entities - in terms of encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices by institutions.

Multispecies Flow Indirect-Noise Modeling Re-Examined with a Helicopter-Engine Application
Authors: Gentil Yann , Daviller Guillaume , Moreau Stéphane , Poinsot Thierry 
Published: January 2024

Composition noise has recently received increasing attention for its potential to contribute significantly to the indirect noise mechanism. In this study, the importance and definition of composition noise are revisited by proposing a new proper decomposition between entropy and mixture compositional fluctuations. When assuming quasi-one-dimensional, multispecies, isentropic, and nonreactive flow in nozzles, the resulting system of equations shows a new and remarkable one-way coupling between composition waves and both acoustic and entropy waves. Relying on the Magnus-expansion methodology, an exact solution of that system is investigated. The proposed theory is validated by comparing the model predictions with direct numerical simulations of nozzle flows in which compositional fluctuations are pulsed. It is shown that composition transfer functions from the unsteady simulations are in agreement with the analytical model of this paper. Finally, a hybrid approach is investigated consisting of extracting waves from a large-eddy simulation of a real helicopter engine and propagating those through different nozzle geometries. Composition noise is found to be negligible compared to direct or indirect entropy noise since it is at least 20 dB lower than other noise mechanisms for all tested cases.

Authors: Boruah Deb Kumar , Marak Rebecca , Bhuyan Dhrubajyoti , Mazumdar Himangshu , Patgiri Saurav Jyoti 
Published: January 2024

Objectives:
Liver cirrhosis patients commonly progress to minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) with cognitive impairment and raised blood ammonia and proinflammatory cytokines levels. This study aims to identify the subjects of MHE in patients with liver cirrhosis by hydrogen 1 magnetic resonance (1H-MR) spectroscopy of the brain, serum proinflammatory cytokines, and neuropsychiatric tests.

Materials and Methods:
This prospective was carried out on 100 patients of liver cirrhosis without overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and compared with 100 healthy controls in a tertiary care hospital in Northeast India between September 2017 and October 2019. The psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) neuropsychological tests, cranial MRIwith 1H-MR spectroscopy, and estimation of serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were done. The PHES scores and serum proinflammatory markers levels were correlated with the conventional and 1H-MR spectroscopy findings of the brain.

Results:
The mean PHES score in the case group was −7.58±3.43 (standard deviation [SD]) and the control group was −3.41 ± 3.87 (SD). Patients with Child-Pugh class A (n = 8) had a PHES score of −8.7 ± 2.5 (SD), class B (n = 42) −7.62 ± 3.7 (SD), and class C (n = 50) had a score of −7.36 ± 3.3 (SD). The mean value of IL-6 and TNF-α in the case group was 219 ± 180 (SD) pg/mL and 99 ± 118 (SD) pg/mL and the control group was 67.4 ± 77 (SD) pg/mL and 57.5 ± 76 (SD) pg/mL. Globus pallidus T1-weighted hyperintensities on the visibility scale with a visibility score of 0 were observed in 39 cases, a score of 1 in 38 cases, and a score of 2 in 23 cases. Increased glutamate/glutamine/creatine (Glx/Cr) ratio was identified in the case group on MR spectroscopy as compared to the control (0.95 ± 0.24 vs. 0.31 ± 0.19, P < 0.0005), a decrease of myoinositol/creatine (mI/Cr) ratio (0.11 ± 0.13 vs. 0.30 ± 0.12, P < 0.0005), and increase choline/creatine (Cho/Cr) ratio (0.69 ± 0.26 vs. 0.61 ± 0.20, P < 0.0005). There was a statistically significant difference in Glx/Cr, mI/Cr and Cho/Cr ratio between the case and control groups with P < 0.0005.

Conclusion:
Predicting the development of MHE in established cases of liver cirrhosis using non-invasive modalities like PHES, IL-6, TNF-α levels, and 1H-MR spectroscopy plays an important role in further progression to overt HE and coma.
