Arabic Polysemous Words used in the Qur’ān; A Study of the Word nafaqa

The Qur’ān is a marvellous book which contains various miraculous signs. Amongst its miracle is the use of polysemous words in the Book. An interpreter of the Qur’ān who does not acquaint himself with the proper use of Arabic words will mislead not only himself but others following such interpretation. The exegesis of the Book requires advanced knowledge of the Arabic Language and its branches to grasp the deep meanings of the Qur’ān. This article focuses on nafaqa mentioned in one hundred and seven (107) places in the Qur’ān as a case study of the polysemous nature of the Qur’ān and how it is being used in different ways as nouns, verbs or adjectives. As such, only expert exegetes can understand how these words are being used without misinterpreting the Qur’ān.

The Legendary Vision in the Novel "The Alchemist" written by Paulo Coelho

Objective: This study aims to analyze Paulo Coelho's novel "The Alchemist" through the lens of a mythical vision dominating the narrative formation. It explores how the writer conveys his vision and ideas about a world shaped by the mythical interpretation of cosmic phenomena, where religions and social values do not hold ultimate authority. Instead, aspirations, dreams, and subjective visions play a significant role in explaining the universe and its manifestations.
 Methods: The study employs an analytical methodology, encompassing a comprehensive examination of the novel's text and interconnecting the significance and meanings within the interpretive dimension of the events, characters, time, and location depicted in the story.
 Results: The study found that a mythical vision guides the fictional work, leading to the realization of what Coelho refers to as "the personal legend" or "the Language of the Universe." It identifies Coelho's use of mythical dimensions and magical elements as means to achieve the novel's central goal, the pursuit of life's purpose. The study perceives this approach as distinctly mythical in nature.
 Conclusion: This novel offers rich content, inspiring readers to explore its deeper meanings and implications carried by the text and its narrative.

POST-STROKE ELDERLY POSITIVE DEVIANCE IN BANDAR SETIA VILLAGE, PERCUT SEI TUAN DISTRICT, PERCUT SEI TUAN DISTRICT IN 2023

Elderly is a human age group that is susceptible to disease and even has a high risk of paralysis. One of the diseases that are often experienced by the elderly is stroke. Post-stroke sufferers often experience depression caused by inability to work due to disabilities and lack of social activities, so that stroke sufferers depend on emotional and physical support from their families. Stroke is a disease that is a problem in the world, the world stroke organization notes that 85% of people have a stroke risk. In Asian countries, one of which is Indonesia, it is estimated that 500 thousand people have a stroke every year. According to the incident figures, around 2.5% died, and the rest experienced mild to severe disabilities. Stroke is the number 1 cause of serious disability and persists in the world. In Indonesia, the problem of stroke is important because the incidence rate is highest in Asian countries. The type of research used by researchers was qualitative research with a descriptive approach. This type of research was chosen because the researcher wanted to see or explore a deep understanding and meaning of what happened to individuals or groups in this context, namely the elderly who had a stroke. In this study there are four data conclusions that will be discussed by researchers. The conclusions of the four data are: (1) The physical condition of the elderly after a stroke, (2) The psychological condition of the elderly after a stroke, (3) The social condition of the elderly after a stroke, (4) The environmental condition of the elderly after a stroke.

A Pragmatic Analysis of Regret Expressions in Selected Quranic Verses

Regret is a mental and psychological state, a natural feeling; a feeling of sadness that a person experiences when he realizes the consequences of a bad thing he did or a decision he made. Regret expressions in the Glorious Qur’an vary according to the situational contexts and to the extent to which the experiencer is undergoing; however, these expressions seem have to some degree the same deep structure since they all reflect the meaning of regret. This leads to the fact that regret expressions offer a fertile field of study where the deep meaning of such expressions is one but reflected in various linguistic forms in the surface structure. This paper hypothesizes that regret expressions in the Glorious Qur’an are of different categories; however, they share the same deep structure and can be expressed directly and indirectly via different linguistic expressions. Accordingly, this paper aims at verifying these hypotheses by adopting Searle’s model (1971) of speech act theory. The data analyzed consist of eight selected Qur’anic texts. The analysis is achieved by interpreting the Qur’anic text, showing the type of regret, then decide the type of the speech acts found in these texts. The results of analysis and the conclusions prove the viability of the model adopted, verify the hypotheses, and achieve the aims of the study. Studying the speech act of regret can have important pedagogical implications for language learning and communication. By developing their pragmatic competence, critical thinking skills, and emotional intelligence, EFL learners can become more effective communicators and responsible members of their communities.

Analysis of Kevin Lynch's Theory of City Image (Case Study of The Tanah Abang Area in Jakarta)

In the midst of development, revitalization, and the influence of globalization, of course, more or less will affect identity in an area, building an image in an area is important to strengthen identity and can be used as a reference in determining the orientation value of appropriate spatial planning. In this study, the researcher used a case study approach to explore data as a basis for giving deep meaning to the selected cases according to the research topic, namely Kevin Lynch's Theory Analysis of City Image in the Tanah Abang area. Researchers have collected all the data findings and described them, related to the five main image formers of the Tanah Abang area which consist of Paths, Edges, Nodest, District, and Landmarks. At least the researcher can describe the image of the Tanah Abang area as having five main access roads as a link between the outside areas, finding six findings as signs of area boundaries in the form of river flows and mid-road barriers, there are seven districts divided based on their function, there are four main meeting points of intersection, and four landmarks as symbols that can be perceived about the Tanah Abang area.

Emotional Deprivation and Its Relation to Psychological Compatibility among Jerusalemite Palestinian Ex-Detainees Who Were in Israeli Prisons

The harsh conditions to which Palestinian prisoners are exposed are a human experience that carries deep psychological meanings, thereby exposing them to multiple types of traumas, whether physical, material, moral and political violence. This in itself negatively affects their emotions and their compatibility in the future when they are freed from captivity, which consequently affects their psychological compatibility. From this viewpoint, the study aimed to identify the emotional deprivation and its relationship to psychological compatibility among Palestinian ex-detainees in the city of Jerusalem. The study population consisted of 3,613 freed prisoners in Jerusalem. The study sample comprised from 103 released prisoners who were chosen by the accessibility sampling method due to the difficulty of accessing the prisoners. The study used the descriptive correlative approach such that the following two tools were used: emotional deprivation and psychological compatibility, and the validity and reliability of the study tools were verified. The results showed that the level of emotional deprivation and psychological compatibility of the released prisoners in Jerusalem was moderate, with a mean of 2.59 and 3.42, respectively. There was an inverse relationship between emotional deprivation and psychological compatibility among the Palestinian ex-detainees in Jerusalem.

Detection of Facial Mask Using Deep Learning Classification Algorithm

Deep learning is an algorithm that works by representing data in layers of learning layers so that the representation becomes more meaningful. "Deep" in deep learning means that deep learning begins layers of sequential representation. This study aims to provide a reference on how to create a system and analyze the results of identifying face masks using a deep learning algorithm. Research on face mask detection is highly important as it tackles a vital element of public health and safety. It plays a crucial role in promoting adherence to mask-wearing guidelines, minimizing the transmission of infectious diseases, and offering valuable data for monitoring and policy assessment. Additionally, this area of study has garnered increased significance and attention within the realm of public health and safety, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020, where mask usage has been universally advised to protect individuals from the spread of the virus. From the results of research conducted, it is known that this model can recognize faces well, both those who wear masks and those who do not use masks. This is evident from the average specificity and precision of 96.00%, and the average sensitivity or recall value of 93.47%. In addition, this model has also proven to be quite accurate in conducting overall classification with an average accuracy of 94.73%.

Semiotika Pesan Dalam Lirik Lagu Berbahasa Daerah “Menas Kamamalo, Mate Kamasuba”

Folk songs are usually written in the local language so that people outside the area sometimes do not understand the lyrics. This condition is one of the reasons for the lack of public interest in listening to folk songs. This is also one of the reasons behind the interest in conducting research related to folk song lyrics. One of the songs that is chosen for the lyrics to be examined is the song of Menas Kamamalo, Mate Kamasuba; it is a very popular folk song especially in Timor Tengah Utara Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. Using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach, this song which consists of six stanzas has a deep and complex meaning. The results of the research show that this song has a message which is a description of various human feelings, which are very complex. At the denotative level, the character “I” in the song has feelings of sadness, anger, disappointment, despair, not appreciated, but on the other hand, at the denotative level, the character “I” in the lyrics of the song has feelings of affection, happiness, love, hope. At the mythical level, the character "I" in the lyrics of the song wants to show that in a relationship there are times when the feelings shown do not always match the reality that is actually felt.

PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE EPOCH AND ONTOLOGY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE POEM OF BENJAMIN TRONIN “HOSTAGES”

The article is devoted to the research of the phenomenological field of the poem by Benjamin Tronin “Hostages”. This literary work is a worthy example of modern literature, it meets the needs and requirements of the present time and develops the traditions already established in Russian literature. The study revealed that the poem has deep phenomenological meanings that create its multidimensionality. The poem presents four global plans. On the surface of the text is an epochal plan, it creates the plot of the work. Describing Soviet and post-Soviet times, the author gives key symbols and images of the Soviet and post-Soviet eras in which the main character of the poem lives. They are revealed by the author through the fate of the characters of the work, revealing first the social plan of interpersonal relations, and then the personal plan of the individual consciousness of the main hero of the poem. The protagonist comes forward with his fate and feelings. It is his consciousness, which is pure meaning formation, that forms the conceptual picture of the world in a work and creates the phenomenological space of the epoch, recognizable by the reader. The last and deepest plan is the ontological plan. It shows how lonely the protagonist, abandoned by all, is. However, the loneliness of the hero is not related to the understanding of his interpersonal relationships, but to the understanding of his existence. He feels very far from God. Gradually transcending the historical aspect of the age, revealing the social and personal aspects, he comes to the ontological aspect - the basis of his existence. At the end of the research, it was concluded that the author presents the poetic phenomenology of the spirit. This is realized in an attempt to reveal in the subjective perception of man the objective state of the epoch, which in turn consists not of time, but of human destinies, one of which is the fate of the protagonist.

Developing International Education - Classified Display of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Gardens Museum

Background and Aim: Promoting the development of international education is an important international education trend in the world today. It has had or is having a far-reaching impact on the education of all countries in the world, whether it is formal education or non-formal education (Gu, M., 2020). The "Course Plan for Technicians in Museums and Exhibition Halls" is mentioned in the book "Classification of International Education Standards" prepared by the UNESCO Education Statistics Bureau (1998). It can be seen that as early as the initial stage of international education development, the international education undertakings responsible for education, cultural inheritance, and exchange have attracted long-term attention to the museum industry. The combination of international education and museum display education can develop the way of international education, improve the exchange channels of international education, use the intuition and authenticity of museum display education, and improve the communication channels and paths of Chinese culture, which is an important way to improve the soft power of modern countries. Materials and Methods: This study uses descriptive research methods and attribute classification methods to try to classify garden cultural relics. The descriptive research method is simple. It interprets existing phenomena, laws, and theories through its understanding and verification, raises questions in a targeted way, and reveals the drawbacks. The law of attribute classification takes the social and scientific and cultural attributes of cultural relics as the standard to classify cultural relics. That is, the classification method is based on the nature of cultural relics. Cultural relics are the relics of human social activities and have cultural attributes. Therefore, when using the attribute classification method, this study clarifies the use and deep meaning of cultural relics to accurately confirm their nature, and then carry out research. Results: The development of international education is the evolution trend of education for the world and the public. Make good use of the current museum public service facilities education platform to build good communication and communication channels, which is conducive to the development of international education. Conclusion: Based on the existing collection classification principles and characteristics, we will innovate the classification display method, make new attempts to improve the classification display education method, and build a collection classification system in line with the functional positioning, collection attributes, and development planning of the library. It is a useful attempt to combine international education with museum education and museum classification to improve the mode of museum education, implement the essence of the curriculum plan of international education development museums and exhibition halls into specific practical work, and enrich the content of museum education through new exhibition classification.

Deep dives and high tissue density increase mean dive costs in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus).

Diving is central to the foraging strategies of many marine mammals and seabirds. Still, the effect of dive depth on foraging cost remains elusive because energy expenditure is difficult to measure at fine temporal scales in wild animals. We used depth and acceleration data from eight lactating California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) to model body density and investigate the effect of dive depth and tissue density on rates of energy expenditure. We calculated body density in 5 s intervals from the rate of gliding descent. We modeled body density across depth in each dive, revealing high tissue densities and diving lung volumes (DLVs). DLV increased with dive depth in four individuals. We used the buoyancy calculated from dive-specific body-density models and drag calculated from swim speed to estimate metabolic power and cost of transport in 5 s intervals during descents and ascents. Deeper dives required greater mean power for round-trip vertical transit, especially in individuals with higher tissue density. These trends likely follow from increased mean swim speed and buoyant hinderance that increasingly outweighs buoyant aid in deeper dives. This suggests that deep diving is either a 'high-cost, high-reward' strategy or an energetically expensive option to access prey when prey in shallow waters are limited, and that poor body condition may increase the energetic costs of deep diving. These results add to our mechanistic understanding of how foraging strategy and body condition affect energy expenditure in wild breath-hold divers.

Kajian Historis: Corak Sastra Arab (Zaman Jahiliyah, Shadr Islam dan Umawiyah)

Abstract: This paper aims to examine the style of Arabic literature during the time of Jahiliyah, Shadr Islam (the beginning of Islam) and Umawiyah. The method used in this study is the analytical descriptive method, namely by describing how the form or pattern of Arabic literature during the time of Jahiliyah, Shadr Islam (the beginning of Islam) and Umawiyah. While the approach applied in this study is a historical approach, where researchers look for histories related to the style of Arabic literature during the Jahiliyah, Shadr Islam (the beginning of Islam) and Umawiyah. The results of this research are 1) in the Jahiliyah era, the style of Prose and Poetry in this era is almost the same, starting from the lafadznya which is clear and eloquent, has a deep meaning, rhymes. Prose at this time also consisted of Sermons, Testaments, Matsals, Hikmah, and Qissoh. 2) Shadr Islam In this age Prose and Poetry also developed, but Prose was much more developed than poetry. Especially in the Khutbah, this is because at this time the Khutbah is used to ignite the spirit of the warriors to fight to spread Islam. While poetry has not developed enough, this is because poets at this time are busy fighting and studying the Qur'an and hadith. So, in terms of meaning, imagination, lafadz, and language style do not achieve high dignity. Prose at this time included the Khutbah, Matsal, and Kitabah. 3) The Age of the Umayyad Dynasty, in this age Prose and Poetry are much developed rapidly compared to the previous two eras. This development was due to the emergence of political parties so that many sermons and poems developed to support their respective parties, and this became a source of income for poets. However, at this time poetry had begun to deviate from its original purpose of spreading Islam using good language, but after the establishment of the Umayyads they used the politics of violence and deceit which made it compulsory to buy oral poets. Prose at this time included the Khutbah, Rasail, and Kitabah which in terms of language imitated and decorated from the language style of the Qur'an which was smooth, clear, and had a deep meaning.

Multiple Spaces of Cooking

A recent surge of interest in South Asian culture has met with a wealth of outstanding novels by Indian, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan authors. These writers have contributed a fine balance between historical and modern settings, divergent religions, geographical diverse settings, and a wide range of literary techniques which has earned them worldwide acclaim. Artefacts such as food, clothing, music, art, or literature pertain to culture. Thus, food occupies an important place in the delineation of culture and is used abundantly in South Asian literature. Recent interest in food studies has opened doors to examine how the use of food imagery and metaphor represents complex ideas and deeper meaning in literature. Literary food studies analyses food symbolism to reflect on cultural identity. The domestic arena associated with femininity also becomes a space to reproduce cultural and national identity. Studying ordinary moments in everyday life can yield insights into the culture of the past and present. Women writers have used food and eating to symbolize cultural issues of acceptance, resistance, and preservation of culture, as well as symbols of memory, emotions, narrative history, relationships, power, and consumption.Food is a crucial indicator of individual and social identities. In the context of the diaspora, it is more than an indicator of one's nostalgia and search for rootedness. This paper seeks to explore whether food can be used as a tool of recognition-personal and national.The texts to be taken up for the present study are Esther David’s The Book of Rachel and Kamila Shamsie’s Salt and Saffron. in which recipes are interwoven into the texts as part of the narrative process.

Exploring the Role of Human Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) in Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD)

Background: Ischemic heart disease, also called coronary artery disease, is the term given to heart problems caused by narrowed heart (coronary) arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. Aim of the Study: The aim of the study is to determine the levels of Nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in patients with coronary artery disease. Patients and Methods: The current study is case-control study conducted in Tikrit city during the period between 10th of January to 10th of April 2023 on patients admitted to Coronary Care Unit of Salah Al-Din Teaching Hospital The study included 60 Iraqi patients with coronary heart disease with age range (37-66 years). The study also included 30 healthy individuals with same age range and from both sexes who apparently haven’t any acute or chronic diseases. Blood was collected from each patients for determination Nitric oxide synthase by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) by chemiluminence technique. Results: The study showed that lowest mean of Human Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) was detected among IHD patients (2.41±0.74 ng/ml) and the maximum mean was within the control group (5.15±1.24 ng/ml). The differences were highly significant (P-value: 0.0001). The study confirmed that the peak mean of lactate dehydrogenase was detected among IHD patients (257.8±94.9 IU/L) and the deepest mean was in the control group (168.9±16.8 IU/L). The differences were highly significant (P-value: 0.0001). The study showed that the mean eNOS was 2.17 ng/ml in patients with hypertension, which was significantly lower than that in non-hypertensive IHD patients (2.76 ng/ml), at a P value of 0.024. The study showed that the mean LDH was 284.6 IU/L in patients with hypertension, which was significantly more than that in non-hypertensive IHD patients (217.5 IU/L), at a P value of 0.001. Conclusions: In conclusion, the findings of the study suggest that patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) have reduced levels of serum eNOS compared to healthy individuals. More researches are needed to fully understand the relationship among eNOS, cardiovascular disease and to determine the clinical utility of their measuring in the diagnosis and management of these conditions.

Inconsistencies in the Ḥanafī School's View of Children's Legal Competence

This article examines the inconsistencies of the Ḥanafī school of thought regarding the legal capacity of children. The study of this issue is to prove whether or not there is harmony between the legal istinbat method (ushul fiqh) used and the legal product (fikih) created. In fiqh proposal it is determined that children do not have legal capacity so they are freed from all forms of legal imposition (taklif). The problem studied is the inconsistency of children's legal skills and arguments against this problem. This paper is based on qualitative data in the form of books on ushul fiqh and fiqh of thought from the Ḥanafī school of thought. Data is given meaning through verstehen, namely understanding by using a divergent, creative, and innovative mindset so that deeper meaning is found. After that, the data was analyzed using content analysis, namely taking inventory of data, simplifying it, and generalizing it. This is done interactively between the three components; data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results of the research show that there is an inconsistency in the Ḥanafī school of thought regarding legal competence. Inconsistency is seen in three ways; the standard has been and has not been the functioning of reason related to the age phases of the child, determining the impact of the benefits and harms contained in legal actions, and the scope of legal subjects. Thoughts on the legal skills of children other than the Ḥanafī school of thought which have not been studied in this paper need further research.

Nilai Pendidikan Agama Hindu Pada Tradisi Mayah Ikut Dalam Upacara Perkawinan Di Desa Pakraman Satra, Kintamani, Bangli

The Mayah Ikut tradition contains educational values. The strictness of tradition can defeat all global civilizations that want to disturb existing traditions, so symbolic thoughts and ethical actions are characteristic of human dignity that underlies all progress of local culture and society. Cultural acculturation is a custom and its concrete form is the norm. The actions of the local community become customs and traditions, because actions that are successful and profitable tend to be repeated in the same way, over and over again to form. Mayah Ikut has a very deep meaning if it is studied and absorbed, even though it only looks like an offering, but behind it there is something that needs to be revealed to be known together. The values contained in the Mayah Ikut tradition are the value of discipline, the value of togetherness and cultural values

A poem Mawtini as Unofficial National Anthem of Palestine by Ibrahim Tuqan. The Michael Riffaterre's Semiotic Lens

This research aims to reveal the meaning of Mawtini's poem, the unofficial national anthem of Palestine, by Ibrahim Tuqan. This study uses descriptive-analytical research using Michael Riffaterre's semiotic theory, which consists of indirect expressions, heuristic readings, hermeneutic readings, matrices, models, variants, and programs to express the meanings contained therein. The results of the research show that Mawtini's poetry contains jargon or phrases, namely: homeland, live a noble life or die a martyr's death, it is better to die than to be a slave to the enemy, sword, and ink as tools of war and narration, not afraid of death, and do not want to suffer. All of them are typical phrases or jargon of the struggle of the Middle East to expel Western invaders, especially Palestine. From there, it was concluded that Mawtini's poetry has a very deep meaning about the fighting spirit for the motherland, patriotism, and Palestinian nationalism, which later made it the unofficial national anthem of Palestine. The poem is intended to give hope and awaken the spirit of struggle to the Palestinian people in facing their enemies at that time, namely the Jews and the British in 1934 regarding the policy of unrestricted Jewish immigration and buying land to establish a "Jewish National Home".

Religious Radicalism: Deconstructing The Interpretation Of The Verse Of Jihad In The Qur'an

The purpose of this research is to describe the meaning of jihad in the perspective of the mufassirs, so that this jihad can be interpreted for the Muslim community not only in the form of fighting with physical combat and weapons, but has a deeper meaning than that. This research is a literature study (library research) by collecting data on primary and secondary sources related to the research theme. The results of this study can be concluded, that radical in substance and associated with the content of jihad contextually, the meaning of radicals who use terror activities. Terror can be interpreted as curbing da'wah and not broadcasting da'wah and Islamic law, on the basis that the strength of a Muslim's da'wah rests on the strength of faith, so that in its activities it shows the behaviour of believers to encourage amar ma'ruf and eliminate evil in a ma'ruf manner as well. Therefore, jihad in faith is a condition and situation in which a person will continuously preach in a ma'ruf manner until the evil disappears with the awareness of the perpetrators. Meanwhile, treasure jihad is the spirit of sacrifice in building Islamic law; building mosques in isolated places, donating property to the poor so that they can survive, and other things that require material in building the spread of Islam.

Art Historians about the Works of Anna Myronova: Impressions and Contradictions

The reaction of Ukrainian art critics on the works of Anna Myronova as one of the leading representatives of modern Ukrainian art is analyzed in the article. Anna Myronova is one of the most active (about twenty personal exhibitions and more than a hundred group exhibitions) and the most honored contemporary Ukrainian young artists. In particular, her name is stated in the Forbes rating (among 25 personalities) The Most Successful Representatives of Modern Ukrainian Art under the Age of Forty (2016). The press attention to the artist’s works is a separate phenomenon. Starting with Shadows of the Grass (2012), each new project of A. Myronova arouses permanently the keen interest of art critics and journalists. Articles about her are published regularly in the official edition of the National Union of the Artists of Ukraine Fine Arts, the Science and Society edition of the Knowledge of Ukraine Association, the Museum Lane magazine, on serious Internet portals, and leading researchers of contemporary art write about her. But the number of texts, their emotionality and sincerity, cannot hide some kind of confusion of the authors. After all, comments and explanations to the artist’s works are given not even different, but opposite in content. Thus, the haiku and sonnets of C. Baudelaire, the philosophy of I. Kant and M. Heidegger are used, A. Huxley and the names of great artists of the past (Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Claude Monet) are mentioned for a better understanding of her projects (such as Drought (2012–2013), Disorientations (2013), Heat (2014), Heraldry of the Poor (2014), Arms of Reminiscences (2014), Still Project (2015), Simple Actions, Simple Things (2015), Fragments? (2016), Between Touches (2017), Space (2018), Along the Current (2018), CUT (2019), Against the Light (2020), Geotexts (2021), etc.). She is considered to be free from social issues or prejudiced to them, one of the brightest representatives of eco-art in Ukraine, a peculiar but unquestionable urbanist. After all, in her projects they see a deep spiritual meaning, an original artistic meditation, a way of connecting with the forces and energies of the universe. The main ways and methods of researching A. Myronova’s works are revealed in the article, and its purpose is to confirm or refute the fruitfulness and expediency of these methods.
