DZIKIR DAN UPAYA PEMENUHAN MENTAL-SPIRITUAL DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN
Authors: Latif Umar 
Published: August 2022

Dzikir adalah ikhtiyar sunggu-sungguh mengalihkan kehidupan gagasan, pikiran dan perhatian dunia menuju tuhan dan akhirat. Dan dzikir mampu memberikan kontrol emosi seseorang dalam menyikapi penyimpangan berpikir dan rasa cemas berlebihan. Dan al-Qur’an mengandung banyak kata dzikir seperti al-Qur’an surat al-Maidah ayat 91, al-Qur’an surat al-Nur ayat 37 dan ayat-ayat lainnya. Oleh karena itu, berDzikir berarti hendak mengaitkan diri untuk berpikir, juga sekaligus membentuk mental rohani ke dalam eskatologi yang sesungguhnya, yakni alam akhirat. Hal yang sama yang secara leksikal dimana konteks dzikir adalah mengingatnya dalam pikiran yang menuntut adanya kesadaran hati tentang hakikat kutuhanan yang ditumbuhkan dalam diri manusia dan diaplikasikan dalam kehidupan baik verbal dan perbuatan. Dengan demikian, konsep dzikir adalah suatu upaya yang sungguh-sungguh untuk menghadirkan peran Tuhan Subhanahu Wata’ala dalam hati dan kehidupan sehari-hari baik ucapan, perkataan dan perbuatan.

ABSTRACT. Surface wave methods are commonly applied to engineering problems for S-wave velocity estimations. Conventional active Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) surveys for earth dam assessment suffer from limitations mainly associated to restrict depth of investigation and negative influences of near noise sources. In Brazil, the need to image around noisy sites over 30 m deep, which are non-ideal contexts for traditional active seismic data campaigns, is commonly in demand. We acquired ten minutes of ambient vibration data at the crest of a large earth dam in Brasília, Federal District. The Spatial Autocorrelation (SPAC) method was applied to develop a 2D S-wave model velocity using surface wave generated from passing vehicles on the adjacent road. A maximum depth of 42 m was achieved, and the model presented a S-wave velocity range from 274 m/s up to 713 m/s. The water level, foundation ground and possible low and high anomalous compaction zones were interpreted. Vs30 was found to vary from stiff to very dense soil along the profile, with higher values observed towards the left abutment.Keywords: earth dam; SPAC; MAM; S-wave; ambient noise. Autocorrelação Espacial de Dados Passivos de Ondas de Superfície para Avaliação de uma Barragem de Terra em Brasília, BrasilRESUMO. Métodos de onda de superfície são rotineiramente aplicados a problemas de engenharia para obtenção de estimativas de velocidade da onda S. A realização de levantamentos de Análise Multicanal de Ondas de Superfície (MASW) ativos convencionais para avaliação de barragens de terra sofrem limitações principalmente associadas à profundidade de investigação restrita e às influências negativas de fontes de ruído próximas. No Brasil, ocorre a necessidade de obter resultados em locais ruidosos com mais de 30 m de profundidade, que são contextos não ideais para as campanhas de sísmica ativa tradicionais. Dez minutos de dados de vibração ambiental foram registrados na crista de uma grande barragem de terra em Brasília, Distrito Federal. O método de Autocorrelação Espacial (SPAC) foi aplicado para desenvolver um modelo 2D da velocidade de onda S considerando ondas de superfície geradas a partir do tráfego de veículos na rodovia adjacente. Foi atingida uma profundidade máxima de 42 m e o modelo apresentou uma faixa de velocidade da onda S de 274 m/s a 713 m/s. Foram interpretados o nível freático, terreno de fundação e possíveis zonas anômalas de compactação baixa e mais elevada. Verificou-se que o Vs30 varia de solo rígido a muito denso ao longo do perfil, com valores mais altos observados em direção à ombreira esquerda.Palavras-chave: barragem de terra; SPAC; MAM; onda S; ruído ambiental.
Deregulation and Board Policies: Evidence from Performance and Risk Exposure Measures Used in Bank CEO Turnover Decisions
Authors: Hayes Rachel M. , Tian Xiaoli , Wang Xue 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT
We examine the effects of banking deregulation on bank board policies—specifically, whether deregulation affects the performance and risk exposure measures used in bank CEO turnover decisions. Using the staggered adoption of interstate branching as our setting, we find that bank CEO turnover is more (less) sensitive to stock (accounting) performance after deregulation. We also find that deregulation is associated with a higher sensitivity of bank CEO turnover to the idiosyncratic component of tail risk. Moreover, such changes in turnover policies primarily exist in large banks and federally chartered banks, which are best positioned to exploit growth opportunities, and in banks that expand branch operations after deregulation. Our results indicate an increased emphasis on stock performance and tail risk in turnover decisions when growth opportunities are greater in the deregulated environment. The findings provide evidence that the information used in board decisions varies with features of the competitive environment.
Identifying Odds of Bloodstream Infection in Repaired Silastic Central Venous Catheters in a Pediatric Population

Highlights

Abstract

Background:
Silicone central venous catheters (CVCs) that weaken or rupture are reparable using a commercial repair kit. A literature review exploring bloodstream infections in repaired CVCs identified many findings indicating low or no increased risk of infection. This study aimed to understand pediatric patients’ risk of bloodstream infection with repaired Hickman or Broviac catheters.

Methods:
A matched retrospective case-control study examined central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) or bacteremia in two separately matched cohorts of patients with silicone-type catheters. Controls were patients with CVCs selected from 2016 to 2019 and were matched to cases based on age group (older or younger than 3 years). Conditional logistic regression models calculated odds ratios (OR), with 95% confidence intervals (CI) representing the odds of a line repair occurring 30 days before an event among cases versus controls.

Results:
In 61 CLABSI cases and 104 controls, the OR of exposure to a line repair was 0.43; 95% CI, 0.05–3.87, P = 0.45. In comparing 49 bacteremia cases to 109 controls, the OR of exposure to a line repair was 6.69; 95% CI, 0.69–8, P = 0.10.

Conclusions:
The frequency of CVC repair was relatively low. Associations between repair and infection were not detected in either cohort; however, odds of line repair exposure appeared to be higher in bacteremia cases (a trend not observed in the CLABSI cohort). More extensive studies examining the demographic and clinical characteristics of the CVC repair population will be critical for improving outcomes.
Trends in Prescribing Preferences for Antidiabetic Medications Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes in the U.K. With and Without Chronic Kidney Disease, 2006–2020

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate trends in antidiabetic medication initiation patterns among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
A retrospective cohort study using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (2006–2020) was conducted to evaluate the overall, first-, and second line (after metformin) medication initiation patterns among patients with CKD (n = 38,622) and those without CKD (n = 230,963) who had T2DM.

RESULTS
Relative to other glucose-lowering therapies, metformin initiations declined overall but remained the first-line treatment of choice for both patients with and those without CKD. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2i) use increased modestly among patients with CKD, but this increase was more pronounced among patients without CKD; by 2020, patients without CKD, compared with patients with CKD, were three (28.5% vs. 9.4%) and six (46.3% vs. 7.9%) times more likely to initiate SGLT2i overall and as second-line therapy, respectively. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) use was minimal regardless of CKD status (&lt;5%), whereas both dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i) and sulfonylurea use remained high among patients with CKD. For instance, by 2020, and among patients with CKD, DPP4i and sulfonylureas constituted 28.3% and 20.6% of all initiations, and 57.4% and 30.3% of second-line initiations, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
SGLT2i use increased among patients with T2DM, but this increase was largely driven by patients without CKD. Work is needed to identify barriers associated with the uptake of therapies with proven cardiorenal benefits (e.g., SGLT2i, GLP-1RA) among patients with CKD.

Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVE
Vascular aging (arterial stiffness [AS]) is an inflammation-linked process that predicts macro- and microvascular complications in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We evaluated the utility of measuring the inflammation-linked N-glycans GlycA and GlycB to assess vascular aging in adults with T1D.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Eighty-four adults with T1D (&gt;10-year duration without cardiovascular events) and 68 healthy control subjects were evaluated for clinical characteristics (including microvascular complications in patients with T1D), aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) (surrogate measure of AS), and serum GlycA and GlycB (peak area [concentration] and height/width [H/W] ratio) using 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

RESULTS
Patients with T1D had higher median (interquartile range) values than healthy control subjects for (P &lt; 0.001 for all comparisons) aPWV 7.9 (6.9–9.1) vs. 6.1 (5.5–6.7) m/s, GlycA 850.4 (781.3–916.1) vs. 652.4 (581.5–727.1) μmoL; GlycB 386.1 (353.2–426.3) vs. 310.0 (280.5–331.9) μmol/L), H/W ratio of GlycA 16.5 (14.9–18.1) vs. 15.0 (13.7–16.7), and H/W ratio of GlycB 5.0 (4.6–5.5) vs. 4.0 (3.4–4.3). Moreover, aPWV correlated (P &lt; 0.001 for all correlations) with GlycA (r = 0.550) and GlycB (r = 0.423) concentrations and with H/W ratios of GlycA (r = 0.453) and GlycB (r = 0.510). Adjusting for potential confounders, GlycA concentration (β = 0.212, P &lt; 0.001) and the H/W ratios of GlycA (β = 0.150, P = 0.009) and GlycB (β = 0.155, P = 0.011) remained independently associated with aPWV. C-statistics for detecting individuals with aPWV &gt;10 m/s were 0.866 (95% CI 0.794–0.937) for GlycA levels and 0.862 (0.780–0.943) for H/W ratio of GlycB.

CONCLUSIONS
Measurement of serum GlycA and GlycB may have utility in assessing vascular aging in adults with T1D of &gt;10-year duration and no previous cardiovascular events.

Authors: Choe Hun Jee , Rhee Eun-Jung , Won Jong Chul , Park Kyong Soo , Lee Won-Young , Cho Young Min 
Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of patient-driven lifestyle modification using intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We conducted a 12-week, open-label, randomized controlled trial. A total of 126 participants were 1:1 randomized to either the intervention group (structured education + isCGM) or the control group (standard care with blood glucose monitoring). The Self-Evaluation Of Unhealthy foods by Looking at postprandial glucose (SEOUL) algorithm was developed and applied to aid structured education in guiding patients to follow healthy eating behavior depending on the postprandial glycemic response. The primary end point was the change in HbA1c level from baseline.

RESULTS
Implementation of the SEOUL algorithm with isCGM was associated with greater improvement in HbA1c than with standard care (risk-adjusted difference −0.50%, 95% CI −0.74 to −0.26, P &lt; 0.001). Participants in the intervention group had a greater reduction in fasting blood glucose and body weight (−16.5 mg/dL, 95% CI −30.0 to −3.0, P = 0.017; −1.5 kg, 95% CI −2.7 to −0.3, P = 0.013, respectively). The score sum for the Korean version of the revised Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire increased in both groups but to a greater extent in the intervention group (mean difference 4.8, 95% CI 1.7–8.0, P = 0.003). No severe hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia was reported in either group of patients.

CONCLUSIONS
Patient-driven lifestyle modification primarily focused on eating behavior using isCGM effectively lowered HbA1c levels in patients with T2D.

<p> </p>
<p><em><strong>Objective:</strong></em> To derive macronutrient recommendations for remission and prevention of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Asian Indians using a data-driven optimization approach. </p>
<p><em><strong>Research Design and Methods:</strong></em> Dietary, behavioral and demographic assessments were performed on 18,090 adults, participating in the nationally representative, population-based ICMR-INDIAB study. Fasting and two-hour post glucose challenge capillary blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) were estimated. With HbA1c as outcome, a linear regression model was first obtained for various glycemic categories [Newly diagnosed diabetes (NDD), pre-diabetes (PD) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT)]. Macronutrient recommendations were formulated as a constrained quadratic programming problem (QPP) so as to compute optimal macronutrient compositions that would reduce the sum of the difference between the estimated HbA1c from the linear regression model and the targets for remission (6.4% for NDD and 5.6% for PD) and prevention of progression (≤ 6.5% for both NDD and PD). </p>
<p><em><strong>Results: </strong></em>Four macronutrient recommendations (%E- Energy) emerged for-1) Diabetes remission in NDD: carbohydrate 49-54%, protein 19-20%, fat 21-26%; 2) PD remission to NGT: carbohydrate 50-56%, protein18-20%, fat 21-27%; 3&4) Prevention of progression to T2D in PD and NGT: carbohydrate 54-57% and 56- 60%protein 16-20% and14-17% respectively; fat 20-24% for PD and NGT.</p>
<p><em><strong>Conclusions:</strong></em> We recommend reduction in carbohydrates (%E) and an increase in protein (%E) for both T2D remission and for prevention of progression to T2D in PD and NGT groups. Our results underline the need for new dietary guidelines that recommend appropriate changes in macronutrient composition for reducing the burden due to diabetes in South Asia. </p>

<p>OBJECTIVE: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) reduce body weight and improve cardiometabolic health, but their effect on physical activity is unknown.</p>
<p>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS. We pooled data (n = 148) from three randomised trials to investigate the effect of empagliflozin (SGLT2i) and liraglutide (GLP-1RA), in comparison to sitagliptin (dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor) and dietary therapies on accelerometer-assessed physical activity.</p>
<p>RESULTS: Liraglutide (-1144 steps/day; 95% CI -2069, -220), empagliflozin (-1132 steps/day; -1739, -524) and sitagliptin (-852 steps/day; -1625, -78) resulted in reduced total daily physical activity after 6 months (p< 0.01 vs. control). Moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity was also reduced. Dietary interventions led to no change or an increase in physical activity.</p>
<p>CONCLUSIONS: The initiation of all glucose lowering therapies was associated with reduced physical activity, warranting further investigation. </p>

Transformation priorities in the editorial policy of a Russian scientific journal in the context of international sanctions
Authors: Turgel I. D. 
Published: August 2022

The current sanctions introduced against Russian science are imposing serious consequences on interactions between researchers all over the world. In order to analyse approaches to mitigating the resulting negative effects, the author turns to the theories of external shocks and crisis management. Criteria that characterise modern external shocks are distinguished, on which basis transformations in the editorial policy of a Russian journal aimed at minimising the effects of international isolation under the conditions of limited resources are proposed. Priority directions in the editorial policy include shifting the geographical focus of editorial activities, restructuring the editorial portfolio in favour of review articles and special issues, rethinking the role of email marketing strategies and promoting journals through alternative social networking resources. Each transformation direction is discussed in terms of feasible implementation tools. The importance of monitoring emerging types of articles that are promising from the standpoint of increasing the visibility and recognition of a journal (such as those outlining frontier research directions) is emphasized. The author argues that the proposed transformations in the editorial policy of a journal entails no radical changes in the thematic scope or content selection process. Moreover, these measures can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a particular publisher. Directions for future research are outlined.
