Journey to Union: Exploring Ibn Arabi’s Nomadic Philosophy and Imaginal Spaces in Sufism
Authors: Bouchoir Tayeb , Acim Rachid 
Published: February 2024

This paper sheds light on Ibn Arabi’s philosophy of journey, which takes place in an empty space where mystical characters, noble saints, Prophets and Messengers of God are given a chance to communicate and interact peacefully. Considering the hermeneutics’ approach to Sufi discourse and Gilles Deleuze’s concept of nomad thought, we aim to showcase that Ibn Arabi regards the Sufi wayfarers as “nomadic subjects” as long as they can journey to the inward and outward realms. The intersection of these two antagonistic realms— the realm of Seen (al-hiss) and Unseen (al-ghayb)— liberates the Sufi practitioners from spatio-temporal stagnation and transfers them to endless states and multiple becomings that later evolve into spiritual stations (maqāmāt) of stability and certainty. Contribution: This article highlights the breadth of Ibn Arabi’s nomadic style of thought in shaping the spiritual journey, arguing that the need to unite with God is expressed through a new style of spiritual movement that occurs in an imaginal space where the Sufi is enabled to communicate via his/her heart with other absentees, including noble saints, Messengers of God and Prophets
The Revival Movement of the Idrisiyya Order in Indonesia
Authors: Sulaiman Sulaiman , Ula Miftahul , Faiq Muhammad , Machrus Machrus , Yusriyah Yusriyah , Ulfah Rokhmah 
Published: February 2024

Sufism and ṭarīqa are often associated with awful and negative stigmas for generating laziness, stagnancy, and surrender to misery. Sheikh Fathurahman tackles these assumptions through the teachings of the Idrisiyya Order. This study is qualitative based research. The primary data were collected from books by Sheikh Fathurahman and his lectures uploaded on Youtube, observations, Focus Group Discussions, and direct and indirect interviews. This study found that Sufi revivalism, as initiated by Sheikh Fathurahman, has led to a positive movement. The presence of the ṭarīqa, especially the Idrisiyya Order, amid society has contributed to crucial social changes and innovations in some sectors, such as economics, education, and other social programs. Contribution: This study will give a new insight into the central teaching of taṣawwuf, such as zuhd and tawakkal as reinterpreted by Sheikh Fathurahman under the Idrisiyya Order so that ṭarīqa becomes the locomotive of social change amid Muslim society in Indonesia.
Around "Deconstruction." Author’s Response
Authors: Gunkel David J. 
Published: February 2024

In this paper I reply to the four critical articles that were provided in response to my book Deconstruction (MIT Press 2021). It proceeds in four steps: (1) I begin with a reply to Stanisław Chankowski’s use of the psychoanalytic term “fetishistic denial” to describe the formal character of the text. (2) I then engage with the criticism supplied by Piotr Kozak, who questions deconstruction’s theory of truth (or its lack thereof). (3) From this, I take-up and respond to Przemysław Nowakowski’s proposal that deconstruction might provide a way to reimagine the interdisciplinarity of cognitive science. And (4) I conclude with a response to Michał Piekarski’s mashup of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Jacques Derrida, which supplies a reading of these two thinkers that is arguably greater than the sum of the parts. The objective of the reply is not to offer a defense of myself or my text but to engage with these interesting and insightful reviews in a way that opens the space for productive dialogue.

How To Be a Baptist Philosopher
Authors: Boone Mark J. 
Published: February 2024

In this paper I will give some provisional answers to the questions how one can be a Christian philosopher rather than just a philosopher who happens to be a Christian, how one can be a Reformation philosopher rather than just a Christian philosopher whohappens to be a Reformation Christian, and how one can be a Baptist philosopher rather than just a Reformation philosopher who happens to be a Baptist. A good way to be a philosopher is to, like Socrates, seek wisdom concerning spiritual good. A good wayto be a specifically Christian philosopher is to, like Augustine, seek that wisdom in Jesus Christ. A good way to be a specifically Reformation philosopher is to recognize and reflect on a distinction between two inseparable spiritual goods on which we are seeking wisdom: justification and sanctification. A good way to be a specifically Baptist philosopher, taking some inspiration from the likes of Locke and Kierkegaard, is to also recognize and reflect on some signs of these spiritual goods which Baptists emphasize: resistance to the idea of a state church and believer’s baptism.

Czy fizyka wskazuje na istnienie transcendencji? Dyskusja wokół książki "Fizyk w jaskini światów"
Authors: Buczkowska Janina , Krokos Jan , Lemańska Anna , Świeżyński Adam 
Published: February 2024

Profesor Krzysztof A. Meissner proponuje obraz transcendencji wynikającej z poznawania świata przez fizykę, która oznacza świat uniwersalnych i niezmiennych praw przyrody. Czy tego rodzaju wypowiedzi są uprawnione na gruncie fizyki, czy też należy uznać je za określony pogląd filozoficzny? Czy istnienie praw przyrody wskazuje na istnienie jakieś transcendencji? Publikacja jest zapisem dyskusji wokół książki: Krzysztof A. Meissner, Fizyk w jaskini światów (rozmawia Jerzy Sosnowski), (Biblioteka Więzi, tom 389, Warszawa 2023), która to dyskusja odbyła się 25 marca 2023 w Instytucie Filozofii UKSW w Warszawie w ramach spotkania Katedry Filozofii Przyrody.

Authors: Qiu Wenjing , Liang Qianle , Yu Liyi , Xiao Xuan , Qiu Wangren , Lin Weizhong 
Published: February 2024

Introduction:
Drug development is a challenging and costly process, yet it plays a crucial role in
improving healthcare outcomes. Drug development requires extensive research and testing to meet the demands
for economic efficiency, cures, and pain relief.

Methods:
Drug development is a vital research area that necessitates innovation and collaboration to achieve
significant breakthroughs. Computer-aided drug design provides a promising avenue for drug discovery and
development by reducing costs and improving the efficiency of drug design and testing.

Results:
In this study, a novel model, namely LSTM-SAGDTA, capable of accurately predicting drug-target
binding affinity, was developed. We employed SeqVec for characterizing the protein and utilized the graph
neural networks to capture information on drug molecules. By introducing self-attentive graph pooling, the
model achieved greater accuracy and efficiency in predicting drug-target binding affinity.

Conclusion:
Moreover, LSTM-SAGDTA obtained superior accuracy over current state-of-the-art methods
only by using less training time. The results of experiments suggest that this method represents a highprecision
solution for the DTA predictor.
Nanoencapsulation of Zataria multiflora Essential Oil Containing Linalool Reduced Antibiofilm Resistance against Multidrug-resistant Clinical Strains
Authors: Mohamadi Neda , Adeli-Sardou Mahboubeh , Ansari Mehdi , Pakdel Atousa , Kosar Muberra , Sharififar Fariba 
Published: February 2024

Background:
The rise in antimicrobial resistance, caused by the production of biofilms
by bacteria, is a significant concern in the field of healthcare. Nanoemulsion technology
presents itself as a viable alternative in the quest to circumvent antibiotic resistance in pathogenic
bacteria.

Objective:
The aim of this research was to form a sustainable nanoemulsion from Z. multiflora,
and evaluate its antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities against the clinical isolates of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Materials and Methods:
Bioactive compounds of the oil were identified using GC-MS. Zataria
multiflora essential oil (ZMEO) nanoemulsion was formulated as a water-dispersible nanoemulsion
with a diameter of 184.88 ± 1.18 nm. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of the essential
oil in both pure and nanoemulsion forms were assessed against pathogenic bacteria causing
hospital-acquired infections using minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and the microtiter
method, respectively.

Results:
The main constituents were found to be linalool (78.66 %), carvacrol (14.25 %), and α-
pinene (4.53%). Neither ZMEO nor the emulsified ZMEO showed any antimicrobial activity.
However, ZMEO exhibited a low inhibition of biofilm formation by P. mirabilis, S. aureus, and
P. aeruginosa. The most promising finding was that when the emulsified ZMEO was present at
a concentration of 750 μg/mL, it significantly reduced biofilm formation by the aforementioned
bacteria to 39.68% ± 2.62, 56.54% ± 3.35, and 59.60% ± 2.88, respectively. This result suggests
that ZMEO nanoemulsion has the potential to effectively disrupt persistent biofilms and enhance
the penetration of antimicrobial agents into the biofilm matrix.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the study provides evidence supporting the use of ZMEO nanoemulsion
as a potential treatment option for combating biofilm-related infections caused by Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, and Staphylococcus aureus. Further research is warranted
to explore the practical application of the proposed essential oil in clinical settings.
Current Advances and Applications of Diagnostic Microfluidic Chip: A
Review
Authors: Katyal Garima , Pathak Anuj , Grover Parul , Sharma Vaibhav 
Published: February 2024

Background:
As a developed technology, microfluidics now offers a great toolkit for handling
and manipulating suspended samples, fluid samples, and particles. A regular chip is different
from a microfluidic chip. A microfluidic chip is made of a series of grooves or microchannels carved
on various materials. This arrangement of microchannels contained within the microfluidic chip is
connected to the outside by inputs and outputs passing through the chip.

Objective:
This review includes the current progress in the field of microfluidic chips, their advantages
and their biomedical applications in diagnosis.

Methods:
The various manuscripts were collected in the field of microfluidic chip that have biomedical
applications from the different sources like Pubmed,Science direct and Google Scholar, out of
which some were relevant and considered for the present manuscript.

Results:
Microfluidic channels inside the chip allow for the processing of the fluid, such as blending
and physicochemical reactions. Aside from its practical, technological, and physical benefits, microscale
fluidic circuits also improve researchers' capacity to do more accurate quantitative measurements
while researching biological systems. Microfluidic chips, a developing type of biochip, were
primarily focused on miniaturising analytical procedures, especially to enhance analyte separation.
Since then, the procedures for device construction and operation have gotten much simpler.

Conclusion:
For bioanalytical operations, microfluidic technology has many advantages. As originally
intended, a micro total analysis system might be built using microfluidic devices to integrate
various functional modules (or operational units) onto a single platform. More researchers were able
to design, produce, and use microfluidic devices because of increased accessibility, which quickly
demonstrated the probability of wide-ranging applicability in all branches of biology.

Authors: Petra-Micu Ileana , Cortés-Morelos Jacqueline , Talayero-Uriarte José Antonio 
Published: February 2024

Introducción: La forma en que el alumno se identifica con la “Medicina” ha sido poco estudiada. Esta investigación se enfoca en conocer cómo evoluciona el concepto de la misma durante su formación.
Objetivo: Analizar el proceso de reestructuración que el estudiante realiza sobre el concepto de “Medicina”.
Método: Estudio cualitativo longitudinal, de cinco años con cortes transversales anuales, con alumnos de un programa de alto rendimiento académico de la licenciatura de Médico Cirujano de la Facultad de Medicina de la UNAM, en la Ciudad de México. El método empleado fue Redes Semánticas Naturales (RSN), cuyo análisis incluyó: 1) total de palabras definidoras generadas sobre “Medicina”, 2) frecuencia con que se utilizaron estas definidoras, 3) valor semántico de las definidoras señaladas con mayor frecuencia, 4) distancia porcentual entre las definidoras y 5) agrupaciones de definidoras establecidas con base en su semejanza conceptual.
Resultados: Se obtuvo un promedio de 800 palabras durante los cinco años de la carrera. En primer año, resaltaron las palabras “vida” y “salud”; en segundo “salud”, “enfermedad” y “ciencia”; para tercero y cuarto, “enfermo”; y en el quinto, “salud”. Las definidoras se agruparon en siete categorías: valores, conocimientos, instrumentos, estado del individuo, asignaturas, participantes y actividades médicas.
Conclusiones: Las diez palabras definidoras que prevalecen a lo largo de los estudios, se integraron para definir a la “Medicina” como: “la salud del paciente para evitar la enfermedad en favor de la vida, con el apoyo del médico, basado en la ciencia y el conocimiento para curar en la clínica”. La población estudiada aporta datos que resultan valiosos para la toma de decisiones respecto a la enseñanza, organización de los contenidos, selección de textos, instrumentación de estrategias de aprendizaje y el desarrollo de instrumentos de evaluación.

COMPARISON OF KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, AND PRACTICES TOWARDS CL USAGE AMONGST MEDICAL AND NON-MEDICAL STUDENTS
Authors: Suek Theng Leong , Barodawala Fakhruddin Shamsheer , Rajhans Vidyut 
Published: February 2024

Background and Objective: Amidst the myopia epidemic, the number of contact lens (CL) users is steadily increasing, especially youngsters. Many CL practitioners presume optimum knowledge and good practice of CL usage by medical professionals. With rising complications and a significant dropout rate, there is a need to investigate the knowledge (K), attitudes (A), and practices (P) among CL users. This study aimed to assess the K, A, and P in CL users registered in various programs in a university. We hypothesized no difference between K, A, and P in CL users with medical (M) and non-medical (N) academic backgrounds.
Methods and Materials: A pre-validated questionnaire, consisting of 19 questions on knowledge, 9 questions on attitude, and 30 questions on practice, was distributed among the university students admitted to various programs, excluding optometry, through an online survey tool. Inferences were drawn using a Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test to compare the M and N groups, with a predetermined significance of 0.05. Spearman’s correlation gave a relationship between the K, A, and P of CL users.
Results: Out of 1041 (M=146 and N=895) valid responses, 476 (45.7%) respondents had prior experience or were CL users. The prevalence of CL users was a little higher in the N group (M=39.0%; N=46.8%) but statistically not significant (χ2=3.057, df=1, p<0.05). The knowledge about CL hygiene and complications was not significantly different between the two groups (U=10370, z=–1.645, p<0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the attitude towards CL wear and care (U=9268, z= –2.751, p>0.05) and practice of lens wear and care (U=8770, z=–3.318, p>0.05). For all the respondents, a weak correlation between knowledge and practice was observed (r=0.137, p<0.05), and a fair to strong correlation in medical respondents (r=0.465, p<0.05). For the non-medical student group, a statistically significant weak correlation was found between attitude and practice (r=0.110, p<0.05).
Conclusion: Medical students exhibited a slightly better attitude and practice toward CL use than non-medical students. However, knowledge scores in both groups were similar. The results of this survey disrupted the presumption that CL users with medical backgrounds possess better K, A, and P toward CL usage. This study highlights the need to be proactive in educating young CL wearers, irrespective of their academic background, providing them with optimum knowledge and skill, and nurturing their right attitude towards CL usage, which will ultimately contribute to the optimization of eye health outcomes and prevention of complications associated with CL wear. This will help the CL industry overcome growth challenges, providing safe opportunities for vision correction to the increasingly prevalent myopic population at large.

Authors: Durango Giraldo* Geraldine , Zapata-Hernández Juan Camilo , Betancur Henao Claudia , Santa Marín Juan Felipe , Buitrago Sierra Robison 
Published: February 2024

Recently, antibacterial materials have sparked a renewed interest in the fields of biomedical engineering and life sciences. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles with anatase phase and an average size of 24.1 ± 4.6 nm, graphene oxide (GO) obtained from the electrochemical method, and TiO2/GO hybrid nanomaterial. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed the presence of oxygen functionalities in the GO structure and 23.2 % of TiO2 in the hybrid nanomaterial, as well as a strong interaction between the materials that can be observed in the micrograph of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Antibacterial tests were performed using the macrodilution method. The results showed that, while GO did not decrease bacterial growth, TiO2 presented high bactericidal activity. In turn, the hybrid TiO2/GO nanomaterial did not show such activity. This result can be explained by the decrease in contact between TiO2 and bacterial cells due to the blocking of the active sites on the TiO2 surface by graphene oxide sheets. These results contribute to the ongoing discussion about the bactericidal properties of graphene oxide.
