Turunnya Al-Qur’an dalam Tujuh Huruf
Authors: Rabbani Muhammad 'Aqil 
Published: April 2022

Tema tujuh huruf menjadi istilah yang musykil, dengan artian, istilah ini mengalami perkembangan makna sehingga bermunculan berbagai pengertian mengenai istilah tujuh huruf ini. Oleh karena itu, para ulama –baik dahulu maupun sekarang- memberikan perhatian lebih terhadap istilah tujuh huruf dengan mengkaji kembali pengertian istilah ini. Sehingga muncul berbagai literatur yang menarik untuk dikaji oleh para akademisi tentang tema tujuh huruf. Dalam perkembangan studi Al-Qur’an, juga bermunculan beberapa kalangan yang meragukan keontetikan Al-Qur’an lewat tema ini. Az-Zarqâni dalam bukunya, Manahil Al-Irfan fi ulum Al-Qur’an mengatakan bahwa para musuh Islam memanfaatkan pemahaman yang salah mengenai pegertian tujuh huruf untuk memunculkan berbagai tikaman terhadap Al-Qur’an. Sehingga butuh upaya dari kalangan Umat Islam, khususnya akademisi, untuk mengkaji kembali tema tujuh huruf ini dan mempersembahkan upaya ini kepada masyarakat Islam. Makalah ini membahas mengenai hadits-hadits tentang tujuh huruf, defenisi tujuh huruf, antara tujuh huruf dan qiraat yang tujuh, dan pendapat-pendapat orientalis mengenai tujuh huruf.
Poligami dalam Al-Quran dan Konsep Maqashid Syari’ah Ibnu ‘Asyur
Authors: Erlina Lira 
Published: April 2022

Poligami dikaji dalam Al-Qur’an, khusunya pada Surat An-Nisâ ayat 3 dan 129, hadits Nabi Shalallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam, serta qudwah dari Nabi yang menikahi beberapa isteri. Dari dalil-dalil tersebut muncul tiga permasalahan terkait poligami, yaitu: Apa hukum poligami? Berapa wanita yang boleh dinikahi? Aan apa syarat-syarat poligami? Dari hasil istinbath terhadap dalil-dalil dipahami bahwa poligami hukumnya dibolehkan dengan pendekatan, Al-amri ba’da al-hazhri lil ibâhah. Dan jumlah maksimal wanita yang boleh dinikahi adalah empat wanita yang disimpulkan dari hadits Nabi yang memerintahkan para Shahabat menceraikan kelebihan dari empat isteri mereka. Adapun untuk syarat poligami, metode istinbath hukumnya dengan pendekatan, Asy-syarthu yu’atstsir fil hukmi ‘inda ‘adamihi. Menurut Ibnu Asyûr dalam kitabnya, disebutkan bahwa poligami mengandung kemaslahatan terhadap manusia. Di antara hikmah pensyariatan poligami, ia memperbanyak Umat dan termasuk bagian Maslahah Kulliyat. Poligami mencegah dari zina yang merupakan pembahasan dari Sadduzh Zharâ’i, poligami solusi bagi wanita yang tidak memiliki suami karena jumlah wanita di akhir zaman lebih banyak dari jumlah laki-laki; dan ini bagian dari maslahah yang sifatnya Tahsiniyah bagi individu dan maslahah yang sifatnya Hajiyat bagi Umat di akhir zaman kelak.

Published: April 2022

Contraception enables women to exercise their human right to choose the number and spacing of their children. The present study identified the best model selection procedure and predicted contraceptive practice among women aged 15–49 years in the context of Bangladesh. The required information was collected through a well-known nationally representative secondary dataset, the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), 2014. To identify the best model, we applied a hierarchical logistic regression classifier in the machine learning process. Seven well-known ML algorithms, such as logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), naïve Bayes (NB), least absolute shrinkage and selection operation (LASSO), classification trees (CT), AdaBoost, and neural network (NN) were applied to predict contraceptive practice. The validity computation findings showed that the highest accuracy of 79.34% was achieved by the NN method. According to the values obtained from the ROC, NN (AUC = 86.90%) is considered the best method for this study. Moreover, NN (Cohen’s kappa statistic = 0.5626) shows the most extreme discriminative ability. From our research, we suggest using the artificial neural network technique to predict contraceptive use among Bangladeshi women. Our results can help researchers when trying to predict contraceptive practice.

Background
Never-smokers with lung cancer usually have a higher survival rate than that of smokers. The high metabolic activity of lung cancer on 18F-2-Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT generally indicates a poor outcome. However, there is a lack of reports on the association between cigarette smoking and 18F-FDG metabolic activity in patients with lung cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of cigarette smoking on metabolic activity of lung cancer on 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Materials and Methods
A total of 338 patients (230 males, 108 females; mean age: 66.3, range 34–86) with pathologically diagnosed lung cancer were enrolled from September 2019 to April 2021. All patients underwent baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT and the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) of the primary tumor (pSUVmax), lymph node (nSUVmax) and distant metastasis (mSUVmax) were measured. The associations between cigarette smoking status, clinical stage, pathological subtypes and metabolic parameters on 18F-FDG PET/CT were analyzed.

Results
Of the 338 patients, cigarette smoking was identified in 153 patients (45.3%) and the remaining 185 (54.7%) were never-smokers. Smoking was found more frequently in males, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and stage III–IV diseases. The pSUVmax in smokers was significantly higher than that in never-smokers (t = 3.386, P < 0.001), but the nSUVmax and mSUVmax revealed no statistically significant differences (t = 0.399, P = 0.690 and t = 0.057, P = 0.955; respectively). With the increase of cumulative smoking dose, pSUVmax increased significantly (r = 0.217, P < 0.001). In addition, the pSUVmax in patients with stage III–IV was significantly higher than that in stage I–II (t = 8.509, P < 0.001). Smokers showed a higher pSUVmax than never-smokers for patients with stage I–II (t = 3.106, P = 0.002), but not in stage III–IV (t = 0.493, P = 0.622). The pSUVmax was significantly different among patients with different pathological subtypes of lung cancer (F = 11.45, P < 0.001), while only the adenocarcinoma (ADC) and SCC groups showed a difference in pSUVmax (t = 6.667, P < 0.001). Smokers with ADC showed a higher pSUVmax when compared to never-smokers, but not in SCC. There were no significant differences of pSUVmax between smokers and never-smokers at stage I–II ADC or SCC and stage III–IV ADC or SCC.

Conclusions
This study demonstrated a close association between cigarette smoking and the metabolic activity of lung cancer and suggests that smoking may be a potential risk factor of higher pSUVmax in early lung cancer on 18F-FDG PET/CT.
Use of the Marketing Mix in Transnational Higher Education Institutions: A Literature Review
Authors: Raymundo-Delmonte Nicole 
Published: April 2022

Organizations offering graduate degree programs nowadays have to devise measures to differentiate them from others in the market as there is intense competition. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) offering graduate studies programs, specifically those in the Transnational Education (TNE) industry, need to be abreast of their target markets and environments’ changing preferences and expectations. The study used an integrative literature review to analyze readily 35 journal articles on marketing mix to support Transnational HEIs. The sources came from research databases such as Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access journals, business publications, and other websites. Results show that HEIs are expected to take on a customer-focused marketing approach to attract more students with commercialization and stiff competition. Creating an appropriate marketing mix in line with the target audience and intended purpose has proven useful for HEIs’ marketing strategy. The study concludes that formulating an effective marketing mix strategy is one of the keys to TNE providers’ sustainable growth.

Generally and in the UAE, businesses worldwide are particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The SME companies in Dubai UAE faced a very tough challenge to deal with the new circumstances of lockdown and curfews in running the international business. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on Business Performance. The theoretical frameworks for this study are Process Theory of Internationalization (PTI), Uppsala-model (the U-model), and internalization theories and the link with IB theories applications nowadays. The quantitative study applied a nonexperimental, deductive approach and explanatory correlation design, and Snowball sampling was used to select stakeholders of integrated remote site management (IRSM) services in Dubai, UAE. Data was collected at a single phase using a cross-sectional survey instrument and analyzed using inferential statistics with the aid of SPSS. The survey results revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly change the efficiency performance of the IRSM stakeholders. Stakeholders' confidence in their strategic leaders did not decrease while working under the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study did not account for any changes in employee or leaders’ behavior over time. This Empirical study findings add value to the limited literature on the correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and the strategic leadership of international businesses. The paper’s practical implications would be further study on strategic leadership in IB and efficiency performances during global pandemics.

Published: April 2022

Aims: The study's objective is to develop lignosulfonate-based nanocarriers as a UV protectant for agrochemical delivery
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Nano Science & Technology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The research was carried out between March 2021 and January 2022.
Methodology: We demonstrate a straightforward approach for the solvent – anti-solvent conversion of lignosulfonate macromolecules from black liquor derived from the paper pulping industry to nanocarriers. Due to the amphiphilic nature of lignin, nanoparticles are generated by self-assembly. To create lignin nanoparticles, a drop-by-drop solvent exchange approach has been used. The lignosulfonate solution was prepared using solvents such as ethanol and tetrahydrofuran, and then water was added as an antisolvent, resulting in the creation of nanoparticles by self-assembly. The hydrophobic portion of lignin creates the particle's core, while the hydrophilic hydroxyl groups form the particle's shell. The size and stability of nanoparticles were determined using dynamic light scattering, and the form and size of the systems were imaged using scanning electron microscopy. The functional groups of the nanoparticles were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
Results: Solvent tetrahydrofuran generated uniform and spherical lignosulfonate nanoparticles than the solvent ethanol employed in the solvent exchange procedure. When ethanol and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide were used as solvent and surfactant, respectively, the size of lignosulfonate nanoparticles was smaller (270±31.9nm). However, the stability of nanocarrier systems was unaffected by the solvent used, with polydispersity index values of 0.435±0.003 and 0.401±0.028 for tetrahydrofuran and ethanol solvents, respectively. The existence of a distinctive peak at 526 and 609 cm-1 in the infrared spectrum corresponding to sulfonic stretching indicated the presence of lignosulfonate in the carrier systems.
Conclusion: Lignosulfonate-based nanocarrier systems were developed using the solvent exchange method. However, the nanocarrier systems are to be validated to assess the bioefficacy of active molecules.

ObjectiveTo assess the cost‐utility and cost‐effectiveness of a group‐based outpatient physical therapy intervention delivered 6 weeks after primary total knee replacement (TKR) compared with usual care, alongside the Activity‐Orientated Rehabilitation Following Knee Arthroplasty (ARENA) multicenter, randomized, controlled trial.MethodsThe economic analyses were performed from the perspective of the health and social care payer. We collected resource use for health and social care and productivity losses and patient outcomes for 12 months after surgery to derive costs and quality‐adjusted life years (QALYs). Results were expressed in incremental cost‐effectiveness ratios (ICERs), and incremental net monetary benefit statistics (INMBs) for a society willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) threshold of £20,000 per QALY gained, with sensitivity analyses to model specification and perspective.ResultsThe cost of the ARENA physical therapy classes was mean ± SD £179 ± 39 per patient. Treatment in the year following surgery cost was, on average, £1,739 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] –£742, £4,221) per patient in the intervention group (n = 89), which was an additional £346 (95% CI £38, £653) per patient compared with usual care (n = 91) (£1,393 [95% CI –£780, £3,568]). QALY benefits were 0.0506 higher (95% CI 0.009, 0.09) in the intervention group, corresponding to an additional 19 days in “perfect health.” The ICER for the intervention group was £6,842 per QALY gained, and the INMB was £665 (95% CI £139, £1,191), with a 92% probability of being cost‐effective, and no less than 73% in all sensitivity analysis scenarios.ConclusionThe addition of group‐based outpatient physical therapy classes to usual care improves quality of life and is a cost‐effective treatment option following TKR for a society WTP threshold of £20,000 per QALY gained.
Metal‐Free Organic Triplet Emitters with On–Off Switchable Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer
Authors: Shao Wenhao , Hao Jie , Jiang Hanjie , Zimmerman Paul M. , Kim Jinsang 
Published: April 2022

AbstractMetal‐free organic triplet emitters are an emerging class of organic semiconducting material. Among them, molecules with tunable emission responsive to environmental stimuli have shown great potential in solid‐state lighting, sensors, and anti‐counterfeiting systems. Here, a novel excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) system is proposed showing the activation of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) or room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) simultaneously from both keto and enol tautomers. The prototype ESIPT triplet emitters exhibit up to 50% delayed emission quantum yield. Their enol–keto tautomerization can be switched by controlling the matrix acidity in doped polymer films. Taking advantage of these unique properties, “on‐off” switchable triplet emission systems controlled by acid vapor annealing, as well as photopatterning systems capable of generating facile and high‐contrast emissive patterns, are devised.
