Examining the relationships between religiosity and E-cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking among college students in Vietnam

ABSTRACT Alcohol and e-cigarette use are prevalent among college students in Vietnam. Due to the negative impact that both can have on health and academic performance, these trends are concerning. While previous research has supported the role that religiosity may serve as a protective factor against substance use in many studies, there continues to be limited information on the relationship between religiosity and substance use among the Vietnamese population. The current study aims to expand research findings examining the relationships between religiosity characterized by Buddhism and alcohol drinking and e-cigarette smoking among college students in Vietnam, controlling for age, sex, and peer substance use. Two binary logistic regression analyses were conducted, using a sample of 263 college students aged between 18 to 24 from a private university in a large city in the country. The findings of the study suggested that religiosity characterized by Buddhism had no deterrent impact on e-cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking among the sample, which is in contrast with the current research findings based on Judeo-Christian and Muslim religions. Possible explanations and implications for social work practice in Vietnam are discussed.

Predictors and outcomes of withholding and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments in intensive care units in Singapore: a multicentre observational study

BackgroundClinical practice guidelines on limitation of life-sustaining treatments (LST) in the intensive care unit (ICU), in the form of withholding or withdrawal of LST, state that there is no ethical difference between the two. Such statements are not uniformly accepted worldwide, and there are few studies on LST limitation in Asia. This study aimed to evaluate the predictors and outcomes of withholding and withdrawal of LST in Singapore, focusing on the similarities and differences between the two approaches.MethodsThis was a multicentre observational study of patients admitted to 21 adult ICUs across 9 public hospitals in Singapore over an average of three months per year from 2014 to 2019. The primary outcome measures were withholding and withdrawal of LST (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, invasive mechanical ventilation, and vasopressors/inotropes). The secondary outcome measure was hospital mortality. Multivariable generalised mixed model analysis was used to identify independent predictors for withdrawal and withholding of LST and if LST limitation predicts hospital mortality.ResultsThere were 8907 patients and 9723 admissions. Of the former, 80.8% had no limitation of LST, 13.0% had LST withheld, and 6.2% had LST withdrawn. Common independent predictors for withholding and withdrawal were increasing age, absence of chronic kidney dialysis, greater dependence in activities of daily living, cardiopulmonary resuscitation before ICU admission, higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, and higher level of care in the first 24 h of ICU admission. Additional predictors for withholding included being of Chinese race, the religions of Hinduism and Islam, malignancy, and chronic liver failure. The additional predictor for withdrawal was lower hospital paying class (with greater government subsidy for hospital bills). Hospital mortality in patients without LST limitation, with LST withholding, and with LST withdrawal was 10.6%, 82.1%, and 91.8%, respectively (p < 0.001). Withholding (odds ratio 13.822, 95% confidence interval 9.987–19.132) and withdrawal (odds ratio 38.319, 95% confidence interval 24.351–60.298) were both found to be independent predictors of hospital mortality on multivariable analysis.ConclusionsDifferences in the independent predictors of withholding and withdrawal of LST exist. Even after accounting for baseline characteristics, both withholding and withdrawal of LST independently predict hospital mortality. Later mortality in patients who had LST withdrawn compared to withholding suggests that the decision to withdraw may be at the point when medical futility is recognised.

(PM-20) INFLUENCE OF RELIGION ON FEMALE SEXUALITY: REVIEW OF NARRATIVE LITERATURE

Abstract Introduction Sexuality influences thoughts, feelings, actions and interactions and therefore also affects our physical and mental health.

Conclusion This review showed that religion can have an adverse impact on the sexual health and quality of life of Islamic, Christian and Muslim women. Highlighting the need to conduct research in this area to understand and address this relationship. Financing No conflict.

ANALYZING MEDIA PERSPECTIVES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WESTERN AND MIDDLE EASTERN FRAMING OF HAMAS

After the 9/11 attacks, Western society, especially the United States, began to consider Islam as a religion that gave birth to terrorist organizations. Many media also brand organizations related to the Islamic religion as terrorists, including Hamas. In order to emphasize the intricate relationships between media, geopolitics, and the formation of public opinion, this research seeks to analyze potential biases and contrasting narratives between Western and Middle Eastern opinions on Hamas. In order to examine depictions of Hamas as a "hero," "terrorist," "cruel," and exhibiting "humane" treatment towards civilians and hostages, this study used NVivo 12 Plus to analyze 150 news stories, 75 of which came from Middle Eastern (Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya, Asharq Al-Awsat) and 75 from Western (BBC, CNN, The Guardian) media sources. The findings indicate that Western media typically adopts a more solemn narratives, emphasizing Hamas-related conflict and violence. However, the narrative from Middle Eastern media emphasizing Hamas-related themes of resistance and heroism. This research can assist journalists and media organizations in recognizing potential biases and differing narratives in their coverage of Hamas and related subjects.

Islamic Education During the Abbasid Dynasty and the Development of Modern Islamic Education

Education is a teaching and learning process that involves interaction with the surrounding environment. Islamic educational institutions strive to increase students' faith, understanding, appreciation and experience of the Islamic religion, so that they become individuals who believe and are devout in their personal, social, national and state lives. Islamic education has developed since the time of Rasulullah SAW., Khulafaur Rashidin, Bani Umayyah, Bani Abbasiyah, and continues to develop until now. The progress of Islamic education was especially visible during the Abbasid dynasty. This article aims to discuss the concept of Islamic education during the Abbasid Dynasty and the development of modern Islam. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with sources of information from various print and online media regarding this topic. The research results show that Islamic educational institutions during the Abbasid Dynasty can be categorized into three types. First, informal educational institutions such as the ulama's homes. Second, non-formal educational institutions such as kutabs, mosques, bookstores and libraries. Third, formal educational institutions such as madrasas. The many types of educational institutions are in accordance with Islamic teachings which require studying as a form of worship, so that places of study are not limited to just one location.

Abstract 3203: Extravasation and metastasis dynamics are cytoplasmically controlled by the epitranscriptome

Abstract Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) primarily reside in the nucleus to regulate splicing, transcription, and transcript stability. However, their role(s) in the cytoplasm were unclear until now. Evidence now suggests that ncRNAs within the cytoplasm play an important role in cancer invasion. In concert with MT1-MMP, a protease involved in invadopodia formation, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and RBPs form cytoplasmic complexes with MT1-MMP, which we termed “R-bodies” and are abundant in invasive breast cancer cells. RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) of only the cytoplasm identified the RNA at the core of these complexes to be metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), a lncRNA which has been previously described as playing a fundamental role in cancer but only within the nucleus. Further investigation revealed that R-body-associated-MALAT1 was m6A-epigenetically marked. Depletion of any component of R-bodies and inhibition of m6A epigenetic marking of MALAT1 halted R-body formation and subsequent cell invasion. Importantly, we demonstrate that this cytoplasmic complex can be functionally targeted using RNA therapy against m6A-MALAT1 as well as drugs which inhibit the methyltransferase responsible for the m6A methylation of MALAT1. The identification of R-bodies has far-reaching implications and links the roles of cytoplasmic ncRNA and RBPs to the progression of disease. Citation Format: Olivia R.

CORRELATION BETWEEN TRADITIONAL LAW AND POSITIVISM IN INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This article aims to analyze the correlation between customary law and positivism law in Indonesia and Malaysia. This research uses a normative juridical approach with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. Based on the research results, customary law is unwritten with positivism law which is written. And positive law in Indonesia or the law that is expected to be present in the future in Indonesia, must be seen from the aspect of culture or customary law that grows and develops in the environment of indigenous peoples. Given the purpose of the form of a regulation or law is to meet human needs in social life. So the people who enjoy the law are the people. Whereas in Malaysia customary law is still recognized as long as it grows and develops in the community and does not conflict with the religion of Islam and has been promulgated, it can be said that there is the same thing as the distribution of assets gono gini or joint assets with Spencerian assets in Malaysia. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Ratio of justice and sense of justice: the spread case of HIV/AIDS in Indonesia

This article discusses the integration between the ratio of justice and a sense of justice in strengthening bioethical values ​​and Islamic law. The ratio of justice is based on applicable legal norms, while the sense of justice is based on human feelings or intuition. Justice, one of the values ​​of bioethics, shows no conflict with the Islamic religion, and it is needed because bioethics emphasizes thinking development to determine the good and bad sides or ethical dimensions of biological aspects, including medical matters related to life. By approaching cases through concrete examples such as the spread of HIV/AIDS, which mainly occurs due to infidelity, positive criminal law and Islamic law have different ratios of justice and sense of justice. Sanctions in Islamic law tend to be more severe, with the application of stoning to perpetrators of adultery. However, the balance between the ratio of justice and the sense of justice here must consider the medical and beneficial impacts on society.

Finding Center in the Heart (of the Pandemic): Practical Tools from the Islamic Tradition for Building Resilient Families in Times of Disruption and Trauma

When the COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered how people lived their lives, many called it a “wake up call.” Within the global Muslim community, many shared the sentiment that the coinciding of the lockdown with Ramadan presented an opportunity for khalwa (spiritual retreat and reflection). Although Muslim religious leaders sought to frame the Islamic tradition’s wisdom in light of the pandemic, much of this remained theoretical and abstract. The pandemic’s extended impact revealed that Muslim families lack guidance on how to employ the resources found in the Qur’ān and Sunnah practically for their own well-being and resilience.&#x0D; This paper outlines how one Muslim mental health professional and his network of colleagues responded to this crisis by tending to the well-being needs and collective trauma of Muslim families in the U.S. using online webinar platforms to address increased anxiety, family conflict, depression, and existential grief. A detailed framework of an Islamic psychology used as a psycho-educational tool to orient families to indigenous Islamic tools for building resiliency and decreased anxiety is also presented.&#x0D; From this user-friendly theoretical framework, a daily routine of psychological, physical, and contemplative exercises is mapped out and was amended to comply with the particular resources and restrictions imposed by the pandemic. The tools offered, while grounded in the Islamic tradition, provide contemporary and pragmatic solutions that many Muslims have used to build resiliency and engage with the dīn (Islamic religion) in a transformational, rather than a simply transactional, way during these trying times.
