description: The research concerns itself with an important issue in the contemporary Quranic studies which is the historicity of the Quranic text. This issue has been very controversial on the intellectual field in the modern age especially among the Arab modernist thinkers who have been divided into pros and cons and it received the attention of the contemporary thinkers. Hence, there have been a lot of different opinions on this issue until it has become one of the controversial issues in the modern age.The research focused on the issue of the historicity of the Quranic text from the point of view of the contemporary Arab thinkers. The research chose the Tunisian thinker "Abdulmajeed Al-Sharafy" considering his huge intellectual contribution in this field. The research concerns initially with the historicity and tried to establish its origin. Then, the research tackles the issue from the Arab modernist thinkers' perspective and after that the research was specialized and limited to Abdulmajeed Al-Sharafy's intellectual project which is based on the historical study of Quran which revealed the extent of its impact on the intellectual field and how it contributed to the destabilization of the opinion of the Quranic text uniqueness and holiness.The research concludes that Al-Sharafy acknowledges the historicity of the Quranic text and denies its holiness confirming that the Quranic text is based on the human nature which makes it equal to the other life human works and that the base of Al-Sharafy's intellectual school. But this vision is still relative and cannot be taken for granted because of the deficiency of the historical approach with respect to its level of applying the Quranic text.

description: This article investigates the role of economic journalism in the Uzbek media landscape, its historical roots, stages of development, and current tasks. Economic journalism is considered one of the leading branches of mass media. Although it is a relatively new field in national journalism, its historical roots can be traced back to the 5th-8th centuries, evident in ancient Turkic written sources such as the Orkhon-Yenisei, Bilge Khagan, and Kül Tigin inscriptions. The article analyzes the views of Uzbek and foreign scholars comparatively, and based on independent research, examines the formation and development of economic journalism in Uzbekistan in four stages, thoroughly investigating its functions and providing scientific recommendations. The relevance of the article lies in its examination, using primary sources, of the previously almost unstudied formation and history of Uzbek economic journalism. It argues that the journalistic school, traditions, and rich experience created during the Jadid press (late 19th century) formed an important foundation for the development of pure economic journalism in the post-independence period. The article concludes by offering scientific suggestions and recommendations for the further development of this branch of journalism, highlighting its novelty.

Keywords: journalism; economic journalism; newspaper; magazine; Jadid press; business press; formation of journalism; historical evolution; function.

description: Tailoring structural elements to provide a superior technical performance through using less material is known as light-weighting and is one of the strategies suggested to increase energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption and harmful emissions. Aluminum (Al) is an indispensable metal in automobile and aerospace industries for its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and high ductility. In this thesis, a nanocrystalline (NC) Al matrix was alloyed with lithium (Li) to further reduce its density, and reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) to enhance its strength and thermal stability, using ball-milling. A comprehensive study was conducted to realize the optimum Al-Li-GNPs nanocomposite in terms of both the milling conditions and the consolidation process. In addition, the effect of the GNPs content on the thermal stability, mechanical properties, and deformation mechanisms of the nanocomposite, was investigated. The optimum Al-Li-GNPs system is synthesized by ball-milling for 8 hours at room temperature, followed by hot pressing and hot rolling. The Al-based nanocomposites are thermally stable up to 773 K through both kinetic and thermodynamic mechanisms. High hardness, tensile yield strength, and compressive yield strength, of 1.52 GPa, 372 MPa, and 403 MPa respectively, in addition to good ductility, were achieved upon the addition of 1.0 wt% GNPs. Strengthening and deformation mechanisms were identified by microscopic investigations which revealed the presence of a high density of dislocations, stacking faults, twinning, and carbide phases. In addition, microscopic investigations revealed the formation of hexagonal platelet-like single-crystal Al-based nanoparticles, which exhibit high plasmonic absorbance. It is believed that the interaction between Al and GNPs under milling conditions initiated the anisotropic growth. The results in this thesis present a novel, thermally stable, ultra-strong, Al-Li-GNPs nanocomposite, and reveals for the first time, the synthesis of plasmonic single-crystal Al-based nanoparticles using a simple ball-milling technique.

description: Les incertitudes, loin d’être une simple facette de la gestion des écosystèmes forestiers, touchent au contraire à toutes ses dimensions et sont au coeur de son extraordinaire complexité. Ce constat nous incite à penser les approches et les outils de la gestion forestière dans la perspective de ces incertitudes. Dans cet essai, la question est abordée sous l’angle de trois grands types d’incertitude: 1) les incertitudes portant sur la définition d’objectifs de gestion sur le très long terme, 2) les incertitudes quant aux perturbations qui peuvent affecter la gestion forestière, et 3) les incertitudes portant sur les écosystèmes et leur dynamique. L’étude de ces trois types d’incertitudes fournit des éléments de réflexion allant dans le sens d’une gestion dynamique et adaptative des écosystèmes forestiers. Tout d’abord, le poids des incertitudes futures doit être relativisé et ramené au champ d’action qui est réellement à la portée du gestionnaire forestier. Ensuite, les progrès considérables de ces dernières années dans le domaine de la télédétection et des outils informatiques d’aide à la décision rendent possible une gestion dynamique et adaptative des écosystèmes. Enfin, la mise en place d’un processus d’apprentissage en continu, à travers des dispositifs et des supports adaptés, permet d’affiner toujours plus la compréhension des écosystèmes.

description: Introduction: Ankle sprains are common in sports and the general population. Although considered innocuous, a large proportion has residual complaints such as recurrent ankle sprains and develop chronic ankle instability. Although some predicting factors are identified, there is no unequivocality regarding the development of chronic ankle instability, nor about the optimal rehabilitation for an acute ankle sprain. Alongside the biomechanical impairments, ankle sprains are a burden on society due to substantial economic costs. Therefore, we aim to identify key clinical predictors of chronic ankle instability or recovery after acute lateral ankle sprain. Additionally, we aim to determine cost-of-illness of patients who developed chronic ankle instability. Methods and analysis: This prospective cohort study (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05637008 - pre-results) aims to recruit adult (18-55 years) patients with an acute lateral ankle sprain who are active in sports. Clinical assessments and patient-reported outcome measures will be used to collect data at 7-14 days, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 12 months after enrolment in the study. The primary outcome will be chronic ankle instability at 12-month follow-up. Salient outcomes will be analysed by logistic regression to determine association with the development of chronic ankle instability. Participants will fill in a cost diary containing direct and indirect costs related to their injury. Ethics and disseminations: The ethical committee of the Antwerp University Hospital (B3002022000138) has given approval of the protocol and consent forms on 10 October 2022. We perform this study according to the Helsinki Declaration. We will present results at conferences or webinars and publish in peer-reviewed articles.NCT05637008.

description: Sensors are everywhere nowadays. They build a connection between the physical world and the electrical world. Almost all physical quantities can be captured by sensors and converted into electrical quantities. For precision sensor readout, instrumentation amplifier (IA) is a critical circuit block. Notably, for Internet of things (IoT) applications, IAs used in the sensing nodes should be low-cost and energy-efficient. In IA design, chopper stabilization technique is often used to suppress low-frequency disturbances by modulating them to higher frequencies. However, it introduces a ripple to the IA output and reduces the usable output swing, especially in deep sub-micron processes with limited voltage headroom. For the first time, this research analyzed the output ripple shape and amplitude of a capacitively-coupled instrumentation amplifier (CCIA). It finds that the output ripple relies on five design parameters and appears in four different forms. These findings are verified by silicon results and serve as a general guideline to design practical chopper-based amplifiers and corresponding ripple reduction techniques. In this research, we also proposed a power-up calibration scheme to mitigate the offset of a CCIA. In this design, the first stage of the amplifier is formed by multiple identical slices. During calibration, each slice's offset polarity is determined by reusing the amplifier's second stage as a comparator. With the polarity information, the first stage is regrouped to achieve a statistical offset reduction. The proposed amplifier has been fabricated in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process with an area of 0.57 mm2, achieving an average peak-to-peak output ripple of 58 mV. Compared to the state-of-the-art designs, the proposed scheme's calibration time is much shorter (14 clock cycles), and the overhead logic consumes zero static power after calibration. The total power consumption of this IA is 1.53 μW with a 1.2 V supply. Also, the proposed slicing technique provides an extra degree of freedom to the amplifier for bandwidth- and noise-scaling.

description: Tin selenide-based thermoelectric materials are gaining significant importance in moderate- to high-temperature thermoelectric applications because of their single crystals outstanding high ZT of 2.6 along a specific crystallographic direction. Therefore, much attention has been paid to the optimization of polycrystalline tin selenide (SnSe) to improve its thermoelectric performance as they exhibit better mechanical properties and easily controllable production. In this study, we evaluate the thermoelectric performance of polycrystalline SnSe-based compound by using a combination of nano-structuring, graphene (GNP) nano-compositing, and germanium (Ge) doping/alloying. The impact of several factors such as the SnSe matrix milling duration, GNP milling duration, GNP concentration, Ge concentration, and the combination of Ge doping with GNP compositing on the thermoelectric behavior, mechanical behavior, and thermal stability of the compounds were studied. The results indicate the successful production of polycrystalline nano-bulk SnSe based compounds using high-energy ball milling followed by hot compaction. Graphene significantly enhanced the thermoelectric performance of SnSe. In addition, graphene improved the materials’ reliability by enhancing the consolidation process, mechanical hardness, thermal stability, isotropy, and oxidation behavior. However, it is important to optimize the duration of graphene milling and graphene concentration to realize maximum enhancements. An enhancement in power factor ratio of 18 % has been achieved for 0.05 wt.% graphene milled for 10 minutes in comparison to that of the pristine SnSe sample at 773 K. However, 315 % enhancement in ZT has been achieved for 0.1 wt.% graphene milled for 10 minutes at 573 K. In addition, hardness was increased by 11 % for 1 wt.% GNP SnSe composite. On the other hand, the result showed that Ge doping alone failed to contribute significantly to enhance the thermoelectric performance of SnSe. The poor electrical behavior of the Ge doped samples was significantly enhanced by the incorporation of graphene which resulted in an overall power factor enhancement of 16 % for Sn0.975Ge0.025Se/0.05 GNP at 773 K and an overall 163 % enhancement in ZT  at 573 K for Sn0.95Ge0.05Se/0.05 GNP. These results clarify the importance of graphene in enhancing the thermoelectric performance and confirm the feasibility of using graphene as a nanofiller for enhancing the reliability of hot compacted polycrystalline SnSe-based materials.

description: Genome wide total heterozygosity and relative heterozygosity for founder colony Fd03. Plots depict heterozygosity measures for colony Fd03 across all chromosomes. Total pooled heterozygosity (Hp) was calculated in a sliding 10 kb window along the chromosome within the Fd03 colony. Dots indicate minimum and maximum values for a 1 Mb window, the black line indicates the average heterozygosity and the gray shading represents the standard deviation of total pooled heterozygosity across a 1 Mb window. Relative diversity (HpR) per 1 Mb window, calculated as the proportion of heterozygosity in a given pool relative to total heterozygosity within the source Fd03 colony. Color of point indicates per window elevated heterozygosity (blue), or reduced heterozygosity (red), plotted as log base 10 of the relative diversity. Phenotype pool identity is indicated in the lower left of each panel (high, low, zero oocysts). A relative heterozygosity value of 1 indicates the same heterozygosity levels in tested pool as compared to all other pools, values greater than 1 indicate greater heterozygosity in the tested pool and values less than 1 indicate lower heterozygosity in the tested pool. Given the log scale values of 0.5 and 2.0 are equidistant from 1. Candidate locus 3.1 is indicated by the red vertical shaded bar at coordinates 17.4-19.1 Mb. In this interval, relative heterozygosity is increased in the high pool and simultaneously reduced in the low and zero pools. Pools were comprised of DNA from 20 (zero oocyst pool), 17 (low oocyst pool), or 14 (high oocyst pool) individuals. (PDF 4909 kb)

(Fig. 1 a, 1b, 1c).
Material examined. Holotype ♂: Ecuador, 23.X.2014, Cajanuma, 3000 m, T. Delsinne leg. on Macrocarpaea arborescens Gilg (MCCI). Paratypes: 5 ♀ and 3 ♂ idem (CISEC and MCCI).
Holotype description. Length 6.8 mm. Entirely metallic green. Head: frons glabrous with punctiform sculpture. Clypeus without transverse carina. Antennae black, serrate from fourth article. Pronotum depressed at the sides, wider in middle, with posterior angles obtuse. White pubescence few visible at the anterior angles. Superficial and transverse sculpture, dotted with small punctures. Premarginal carinula interrupted, not entire. Marginal carinae joined at the base. Mentonniere with anterior margin slightly sinuate in middle. Prosternal plate wide and parallel. Scutellum with transverse carina absent, replaced by a thick callus. Elytra rounded at the apex, with coarse and sparse denticulation; disc with 4 (2+2) slightly visible spots of white pubescence along the suture: the first pair at of the length, the second at the apex. Underside with two white spots of pubescence at the sides of ventrites 2 and 3. One white spot also at the base of the first laterotergum. Legs with all claws simply toothed; metatarsus shorter than the metafemur. Basal metatarsomere little longer than the second (1<2+3). Aedeagus as in fig. 1c.
Variation. Paratypes range in length from 6.5 to 7.9 mm. Two specimens have the elytral pubescent spots not visible. Two males have the frons dark green, almost black. The only apparent secondary sexual character is in the color of the frons of the females being golden, though one has a green frons like the males.
Etymology. I name this beetle after my friend and colleague Thibaut Delsinne, discoverer of the species.
Comments. All specimens were found on the foliage of Macrocarpaea ovalis (Ruiz & Pav.) Ewan = Macrocarpaea arborescens Gilg (Gentianaceae) (Fig. 5), where they had found refuge from adverse weather. The fact that all the specimens were found on the same species of plant suggests that this may be the larval host. The altitude where the specimens were found shows the great climatic adaptability of the genus Agrilus. To my knowledge, however, the record in height for South America belongs to a species in Bolivia: A. altitudinalis Curletti, 2015 that was found at 3,800 m. Among the South American species that have a similar pattern of pubescent spots, A. delsinnei is the only one known without a carinate scutellum.

description: This project examined the interrelationships between power production and upper body kinematics during a series of medicine ball push-press (MBP-P) throws. Twenty-five regular weight trainers (body mass = 86 ± 10 kg) performed a series of ballistic vertical MBP-P throws at loads representing 5% and 10% of their assessed 5RM bench press. Throws were performed lying supine on a force platform (1 kHz) with upper body kinematics assessed using standard infra-red motion capture techniques (0.5 kHz). Gross measures of performance and power production such as peak vertical ball velocity (Velpeak), peak force (Fpeak) and power (Ppeak) were recorded during the propulsive phase of the movement. Comparative analyses indicated that despite significant reductions in Velpeak from the 5% to 10% loads (P < 0.001), Fpeak remained largely unchanged (P = 0.167). Analysis of inter-trial variability showed that the gross measures of performance and power were relatively stable (Coefficient of Variation [CV%] <13%), while most upper limb segmental kinematics varied considerably between trials (CV% up to 70%). This project highlights the complexity of the relationships between power production and upper body kinematics during light load ballistic MBP-P throwing. Additionally, it shows how trained athletes can achieve similar outcomes during ballistic movements using a variety of movement strategies.

Minimal gross pathological incidents occurred in any of the target organs (CNS). Non-target related pathological changes (testes and uterus) were also seen in the vehicle control groups, suggesting that these observations were unrelated to test article treatment. N = 10 hamsters per group/per time point (n = 5 male + n = 5 female) except in the sex organ groups (n = 5 male or n = 5 female per time point). In bold are isolated observations potentially influenced by CRAd-S-pk7 treatment. Table S2. Hamsters were treated with CRAd-S-pk7 adenoviral vector delivery and were sacrificed at 6, 34, and 62 days post viral vector injection for microscopic pathology observation. Analysis of adverse events associated with vector treatment in the target organs (CNS) is shown above; other organs were analyzed but not included due to lack of any significant viral vector-associated pathology. Analysis shows mild perivascular/meningeal inflammation and mild gliosis in the thalamus/cortex (in bold and shown in Fig. 7), which is largely resolved by day 62 after treatment. N = 10 hamsters per group/per time point (n = 5 male + n = 5 female).

Achieving harmony between economic development and environmental sustainability is extremely difficult without consideration of the ethical and religious dimensions. People continue to suffer from environmental crises such as pollution and climate change that have led to poverty and hunger. Human necessities of life such as food, water, and housing are increasingly at risk. There is a need to protect the environment from degradation and destruction, and there is an urgent need to address such priorities according to an Islamic ethical approach – specifically, through the higher objectives of Sharia, jurisprudential rules, and Islamic ethical principles. This thesis explores the main ethical questions raised by current environmental and economic conflicts and examines these conflicts in the light of Islamic traditions. Given that Muslim jurists throughout history have resorted to consulting the maqasid al-sharia when confronting complex issues, this thesis also attempts to apply the maqasid al-sharia as a means of resolving environmental and economic conflicts. As its area of application, the thesis introduces dam projects as one of the most important examples where the normal contradiction between economic development and environmental sustainability can be resolved. Using both scientific and Islamic approaches, the environmental and economic benefits and harms will be examined ethically.

subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: Around one million people lose their lives to suicide every year. Suicidality represents a multifaceted phenomenon associated with various biological, psychological, social, and religious factors. The relationship between suicide and religion is complex, and the discourse on the topic tends to be dichotomous. This thesis aims to dissect this dichotomy by examining the interface between Islam and psychology regarding suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). It explores how STBs are addressed in psychological and Islamic literature. The focus is on three main domains: (a) etiological perspectives, (b) protective and preventive approaches, and (c) post-suicide issues. Representing the Islamic Psychology framework, this interdisciplinary study attempts to offer a synthesis of literature from a wide range of Islamic and psychological scholarly disciplines through discourse analysis. This synthesis is meant to aid religious scholars and mental health professionals in developing Islamically-oriented culturally-sensitive models of understanding and preventing suicide and supporting suicide survivors.
Advanced Practice Nurses and Their Roles in Swiss Cancer Care: A Cross-Sectional Study

description: Objectives: To examine the advanced practice nurse workforce in Swiss cancer care and how their roles are being implemented (eg, role structures, processes) to achieve optimal outcomes for patients and their families, care organizations, and the broader health care system. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample included master-prepared advanced practice nurses in cancer care, who completed an online questionnaire from December 2021 to January 2022. Thirtynine items assessed structures (eg, role characteristics, utilization), processes (eg, role activities, interventions), and perceived outcomes (eg, for patients, the health care system) of advanced practice nurses in Swiss cancer care. Data from closed questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data from open-ended questions were organized and summarized into categories related to domains of advanced practice nursing and its reported frequency by the advanced practice nurses. Results: The participating advanced practice nurses (n = 53), worked in half of the 26 Swiss cantons. Interventions were identified within nine categories, of which most were targeted to patients and their families (n = 7), followed by health care professionals (n = 2). Perceived positive outcomes were patient symptom management, length of hospital stay, and health care costs. Participants felt less confident in cancer care (eg, autonomous practice) and reported 15 professional development needs (eg, medical interventions, teaching). Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive examination of 53 advanced practice nurses, detailing the characteristics of their roles and utilization across various jurisdictions and health care settings. The results highlight the diverse dimensions of advanced practice nursing and its potential to enhance cancer services and outcomes in Switzerland. Opportunities for role development support and expansion are identified. Implications for Nursing Practice: More systematic health human resource planning is needed to expand the deployment of advanced practice nurses across jurisdictions, practice settings, and more diverse patient populations. Role development needs show the desire for specialized educational preparation in cancer care.
Genetically Modified Foods: Islamic Ethical Perspectives

subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: Genetically Modified(GM) foods have created a strong divide between the pro-GM scientists and the opposing camp comprising environmentalists and food purists, both deliberating on this issue based on their own morally held values regarding food. When it comes to Muslim scholars, there is a difference in opinion amongst the jurists, where some consider it a manageable risk while others adopt a more precautionary approach towards the technology. This study explores the key moral themes raised by GM foods and the ethical discourse related to this technology both within Food Ethics and its interdisciplinary subjects like Environment, Economics, Law, etc., to name a few. The first section discusses the scientific aims behind GM foods' introduction and their differences and similarities from the conventionally grown foods. The following section evaluates GM foods through the lens of possible benefits, expected harms, and associated values, especially regarding the universal ethical principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, and autonomy. Finally, a semantic analysis of the word ṭayyib has been carried out in the last section to figure out how have Muslim theologians understood the concepts of consuming ṭayyib foods as mentioned in the Qur'an, [2:168] and how far can a link between these ṭayyib foods and the GM foods be established. A benefit /risk assessment has also been undertaken in the light of the Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘a. I conclude that GM foods should be analysed beyond this binary lens of ḥalāl and harām, and contemporary scholars should engage in more ethical discourses to make this distinction between ḥalāl and ṭayyib clearer for the better understanding of the masses.
