BackgroundIn Ethiopia, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among the adult population ranges to 19.1%. The disease's impact has increased in low-resource settings due to a lack of knowledge about the condition and its risk factors. Diabetes is one of the numerous causes of CKD. Despite this, little was known in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. This study aimed to identify the determinants of CKD among diabetic patients enrolled in care and follow up at pastoralist health facility of Jinka General Hospital (JGH), Southern Ethiopia, 2023.MethodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 626 diabetic patients recruited through a systematic random sampling. Data was collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire and entered into Epi data version 7.2 and then exported to the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 for further analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to find eligible variables for the later analysis. Variables with p &lt; 0.25 at bivariate logistic regression were selected for multivariate logistic regression analysis. The variables with p &lt; 0.05 at the multivariate analysis were taken as statically significant in the final model.ResultsThe prevalence of CKD was 2.7% (95% CI: 1.12–6.01%). Place of residence (AOR: 4.84; 95% CI: 1.51–15.40), presence of hypertension (AOR: 5.69; 95% CI: 1.58–20.51) and family history of CKD (AOR: 6.20; 95% CI: 1.40–15.49) were factors associated with CKD among diabetes patients.ConclusionThe prevalence found in this study was low when compared with the local studies. Provision of health education to diabetic patients on preventative measures such as physical exercise is cost-effective approach. Factors associated with CKD among diabetics can be significantly mitigated by strengthening the existing NCDs prevention packages in the study area particularly and in Ethiopia generally.

BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is on the rise in developing countries and is characterized by a series of indications of metabolic disturbance. However, the prevalence of MetS varies under different definitions. The study aimed to compare five definitions of MetS in the China adult population, to explore their prevalence, characteristics and agreement.MethodsThe data for the retrospective study came from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), consisting of 9,588 participants (≥45). MetS definitions from International Diabetes Federation (IDF) (2006), National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATPIII) (2005), National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATPIII) (2001), Chinese Diabetes society (CDS) (2004) and the World Health Organization (WHO) (1999). We used binary and multivariable logistic analysis to explore factors connected with MetS.ResultsThe five definitions of MetS led to different prevalence of MetS:34.52% by IDF (2006), 38.63% by ATP (2005), 25.94% by ATP (2001), 26.31% by CDS (2004), 21.57% by WHO (1999). According to the definition of IDF (2006) (22.32% vs. 45.06%), ATPIII (2005) definition (27.99% vs. 47.82%), ATPIII (2001) definition (15.37% vs. 35.07%), CDS (2004) definition (19.96% vs. 31.80%), and WHO (1999) definition (17.44% vs. 25.14%), the prevalence of MetS in men was low but in women was high. The agreement between the five definitions for men was good except for the IDF (2006) definition and ATPIII (2001) definition (kappa = 0.51), with kappa values from 0.64 to 0.85. For women, the agreement between the five definitions was good ranging from 0.67 to 0.95, however, except for the definition of CDS (2004) and the definition of IDF (2006) (kappa = 0.44), the definition of WHO (1999) and the definition of IDF (2006) (kappa = 0.55), and the definition of WHO (1999) and the definition of ATPIII (2005) (kappa = 0.54). Binary logistic analysis indicated that although the impact and relevance varied by sex and definition, age, education, marital status, current residence, current smoking, alcohol using, taking activities and number of chronic diseases were factors connected to MetS.Conclusionthe prevalence and characteristics of the five definitions of MetS are different in the Chinese population. Therefore, it is vital to use the same definition for a country to diagnose MetS. On the other side, a lower prevalence in men than in women and the consistency of five MetS definitions are good in men but relatively poor in women.

BackgroundDeer tuberculosis is a chronic zoonotic infectious disease, despite the existence of socio-economic and zoonotic risk factors, but at present, there has been no systematic review of deer tuberculosis prevalence in mainland China. The aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate the overall prevalence of deer TB in mainland China and to assess possible associations between potential risk factors and the prevalence of deer tuberculosis.MethodologyThis study was searched in six databases in Chinese and English, respectively (1981 to December 2023). Four authors independently reviewed the titles and abstracts of all retrieved articles to establish the inclusion exclusion criteria. Using the meta-analysis package estimated the combined effects. Cochran’s Q-statistic was used to analyze heterogeneity. Funnel plots (symmetry) and used the Egger’s test identifying publication bias. Trim-and-fill analysis methods were used for validation and sensitivity analysis. we also performed subgroup and meta-regression analyses.ResultsIn this study, we obtained 4,400 studies, 20 cross-sectional studies were screened and conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. Results show: The overall prevalence of tuberculosis in deer in mainland China was 16.1% (95% confidence interval (CI):10.5 24.6; (Deer tuberculosis infected 5,367 out of 22,215 deer in mainland China) 5,367/22215; 1981 to 2023). The prevalence in Central China was the highest 17.5% (95% CI:14.0–21.9; 63/362), and among provinces, the prevalence in Heilongjiang was the highest at 26.5% (95% CI:13.2–53.0; 1557/4291). Elaphurus davidianus was the most commonly infected species, with a prevalence of 35.3% (95% CI:18.5–67.2; 6/17). We also assessed the association between geographic risk factors and the incidence of deer tuberculosis.ConclusionDeer tuberculosis is still present in some areas of China. Assessing the association between risk factors and the prevalence of deer tuberculosis showed that reasonable and scientific-based breeding methods, a suitable breeding environment, and rapid and accurate detection methods could effectively reduce the prevalence of deer tuberculosis. In addition, in the management and operation of the breeding base, improving the scientific feed nutrition standards and establishing comprehensive standards for disease prevention, immunization, quarantine, treatment, and disinfection according to the breeding varieties and scale, are suggested as ways to reduce the prevalence of deer tuberculosis.

Published: February 2024

Objective: This article aims to identify individual and community-contextual level factors associated with the wellbeing of older adults (50 years and older) in rural Zambia.Methods: Data from the nationally representative 2015 Living Conditions Monitoring Survey (LCMS) was used. Employing multilevel mixed effects, the individual and community-contextual factors on wellbeing were determined.Results: Overall, 31.7% of rural older adults perceived their wellbeing as good. Both individual and community-contextual level factors are associated with the wellbeing of older adults in rural communities. At the individual level, wellbeing was associated with higher education attainment. Community-contextual factors significantly associated with wellbeing included improved housing, access to piped tap water within the premises, own charcoal or income to purchase firewood.Conclusion: The findings foreground the imperative to analyse both individual and community-contextual level factors of wellbeing to generate and present evidence for investments in education across the life course and for the development of infrastructure towards increasing the wellbeing of rural older adults. Additionally, the results provide a basis for planning by devising policies and programmes for older people to thrive and for no one to be left behind regardless the setting.

Objectives: This study aims to quantify the cross-sectional and prospective associations between quality of life (QoL) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA).Methods: This study was based on the Swiss children’s Objectively measured PHYsical Activity cohort. The primary endpoint is the overall QoL score and its six dimensions. The main predictor is the average time spent in MVPA per day. Linear mixed effects and linear regression models respectively were used to investigate the cross-sectional and prospective associations between MVPA and QoL.Results: There were 352 participants in the study with complete data from baseline (2013–2015) and follow-up (2019). MVPA was positively associated with overall QoL and physical wellbeing (p = 0.023 and 0.002 respectively). The between-subject MVPA was positively associated with the overall QoL, physical wellbeing, and social wellbeing (p = 0.030, 0.017, and 0.028 respectively). Within-subject MVPA was positively associated with physical wellbeing and functioning at school (p = 0.039 and 0.013 respectively). Baseline MVPA was not associated with QoL 5 years later.Conclusion: Future longitudinal studies should employ shorter follow-up times and repeat measurements to assess the PA and QoL association.

The conifer Taxodium hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ (T. hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’) is characterized by rapid growth, strong stress resistance, and high ornamental value and has significant potential for use in afforestation, landscaping, and wood production. The main method of propagating T. hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ is tender branch cutting, but the cutting rooting abilities of different T. hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ clones differ significantly. To explore the causes of rooting ability differences at a molecular level, we analyzed the transcriptome data of cutting base and root tissues of T. hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan 149’ with a rooting rate of less than 5% and T. hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan 118’ with rooting rate greater than 60%, at the developmental time points in this study. The results indicated that differentially expressed genes between the two clones were mainly associated with copper ion binding, peroxidase, and oxidoreductase activity, response to oxidative stress, phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction, among others. The expression pattern of ThAP2 was different throughout the development of the adventitive roots of the two clone cuttings. Therefore, this gene was selected for further study. It was shown that ThAP2 was a nuclear-localized transcription factor and demonstrated a positive feedback effect on rooting in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana cuttings. Thus, the results of this study explain the molecular mechanism of cutting rooting and provide candidate gene resources for developing genetic breeding strategies for optimizing superior clones of T. hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’.

Ideally, education can be accessed by every level of society. There are still problems in the world of education, especially for people with low incomes. The potential of waqf is being promoted and developed in this country. But it is unfortunate that the financing has only been allocated only as a strengthening of state finances in the form of buying sukuk. Governance has great potential in realizing a quality Islamic Educational Institution so that it can be reached by anyone, so through this research, the researcher proposes to the Indonesian waqf agency to also participate in developing National scale Islamic education that can be accessed by anyone, given the huge potential for waqf, especially in Indonesia. Where there are several quality and large educational institutions abroad because of the independence of their institutions which are financed by waqf. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. This research was conducted in order to aim at a quality Islamic Education Institution through the empowerment of waqf.
Idealnya Pendidikan dapat di akses oleh setiap lapisan masyarakat. Masih adanya problematika dalam dunia Pendidikan terlebih bagi masyarakat yang berpenghasilan rendah. Potensi wakaf sedang digalakkan dan dikembangkan di negeri ini. Tetapi sangat disayangkan pembiayaannya baru dialokasikan hanya sebagai penguatan keuangan negara dalam bentuk pembelian sukuk, tata Kelola memilki potensi besar dalam mewujudkan Lembaga Pendidikan Islam yang berkualitas sehingga dapat dijangkau oleh siapa saja, maka melalui penelitian ini, peneliti mengusulkan kepada badan wakaf Indonesia juga ikut mengembangkan Pendidikan Islam skala nasional yang dapat diakses oleh siapa pun, meningat potensi wakaf begitu besar khusunya di Indonesia. Dimana ada beberapa lembaga pendidikan di luar negeri berkualitas dan besar karena kemandirian lembaganya yang dibiayai oleh wakaf. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif.

CRITICAL REVIEW OF AL-GHAZALI'S SUFFICIENT THINKING AND ITS EXISTENCE IN INDONESIA
Authors: Hadi Abdul 
Published: February 2024

In the digital information era such as today, where everyone can express their ideas, it is like a double-edged sword with a contradictory angle between positive and negative. Among the negative ones is the rampant doctrine of "truth and safety claims" that always appear amid society due to fanaticism for specific thoughts and sure scientists. This research seeks to reveal Ghazali's thoughts on alternatives in building Islamic epistemology with an "intuitive" method. Ghazali cannot fully accept the courage that is obtained through the way of "empiricism" and "rationalism" because he considers both of them deceptive. To reach the truth, he offers an integrative approach that unites reason and revelation on the one hand and between Sufism and Shari'a on the other. Ihya Ulum al-Din, the most significant work, Ghazali, is a concrete manifestation of this integrative thought, especially between fiqh and tasawuf (shari'a and essence). This work received a large audience and was widely accepted in the Islamic world, especially in Indonesia.
Di era digital informasi sekarang ini dimana semua orang dapat mengepresikan gagasanya laksana pisau bermata dua dengan engle yang kontradiktif antara positiv dan negatif. Diantara sekian yang negatif adalah maraknya doktrin “klaim kebenaran dan keselamatan” selalu muncul ditengah-tengah masyarakat, karena kefantikan pada pemikiran tertentu dan ilmuwan tertentu pula. Penelitian ini berupaya untuk mengungkap pemikiran Ghazali dalam membangun epistemologi Islam dengan metode “intuisi” . Ghazali tidak dapat menerima sepenuhnya keberan yang diperoleh melalui pancaindera “empirisme”, juga akal “rasionalisme”, karena keduanya dianggapnya suka menipu. Dalam upaya meraih kebenaran, beliau menawarkan alternative pendekatan “integrative” yang menyatukan antara akal dan wahyu di satu pihak, dan antara tasawuf dan syariat di lain pihak. Karya tebesar Ghazali, Ihya Ulum al-Din, merupakan wujud nyata dari pemikiran integrative itu, khususnya antara fiqih dan tasawuf (syariat dan hakkekat). Karya ini mendapat aundiensi besar dan diterima secara luas di dunia Islam khususnya di Indonesia.
