No clinically relevant relationship between different quantitative measurement methods of the lateral femoral condyle morphology on lateral radiographs in anterior cruciate ligament-injured patients.

To clarify whether different methods of quantifying lateral femoral condyle (LFC) bone morphology as risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury on lateral radiographs should be considered as individual risk factors and to assess inter- and intraobserver reliability. We retrospectively reviewed 487 patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction at our institution. Routine lateral radiographs of the injured knees were utilized to measure the following parameters: LFC ratio (LFCR), height of LFC to anteroposterior diameter ratio (HAPR), femur tibia size ratio (FTSR), tibia to posterior femoral condyle ratio (TPFCR) and Porto ratios (XY/AB; B/AB; B/XY). Malrotated radiographs were excluded. Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to identify relationships. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated for inter- and intraobserver reliability for two raters. Fifty-eight patients were included. Means and standard deviations for LFCR were 63.7% ± 2.8%, HAPR 0.35 ± 0.02, FTSR 1.23 ± 0.07, TPFCR 2.99 ± 0.28, XY/AB 0.41 ± 0.08, B/AB 1.20 ± 0.06 and B/XY 3.05 ± 0.58. Significant correlations were observed between FTSR and XY/AB (r = 0.425), B/AB (r = 0.582) and TPFCR (r = -0.326), between XY/AB and HAPR (r = -0.309) and B/XY (r = -0.933) and between TPFCR and B/AB (r = 0.302). Intraobserver agreement was excellent for LFCR, HAPR, FTSR, TPFCR and B/AB and good for XY/AB and B/XY. Interobserver agreement varied from poor for XY/AB and B/XY, good for HAPR, B/AB, FTSR and TPFCR to excellent for LFCR. Different methods of quantifying LFC bone morphology should be considered as individual risk factors, characterized by good to excellent intraobserver reliability, but highly variable interobserver reliability. Level III.

Initial Insights into Teleworking’s Effect on Air Quality in Madrid City

Commuting to work by private vehicle is one of the main sources of air pollution in cities, mainly from NO2 and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). With the spread of telework, traffic congestion during peak hours is reduced on certain days of the week, improving air quality. This study analyzes the relationship between the improvement of air quality and urban traffic resulting from teleworking activities after the COVID-19 pandemic in Madrid, Spain. This article considers road traffic and teleworking before the COVID-19 pandemic (2018 and 2019), during the pandemic (2020 and 2021) and in the period after (2022 and 2023) in the city center and the influence on certain environmental factors. Daily NO2, PM2.5, PM10, and O3 concentration data were collected at air quality stations in Madrid municipality, and traffic data and some meteorological variables such as wind speed, precipitation and temperature were considered. When conducting correlation and regression analysis among the variables, there is a clear association between NO2 and traffic before the pandemic, which is lower for both PM and O3. This correlation was maintained during the pandemic, except for O3, the association of which increased during this period and then decreased in the later period due to various motives. These results seem to indicate the existence of a relevant relationship between urban mobility and air quality and an especially relevant relationship with telework, suggesting the need for policies aimed at promoting sustainable mobility in the future.

Fundamental mechanical relations of open-cell metal foam composite materials with reticular porous structure

The compressive behavior is one of the most fundamental mechanical properties for engineering materials. In this paper, the octahedral structure model of porous materials is used to evolve the mechanical analysis model under compressive loading for the porous composite materials, which are resulted from reticular metal foams with pore struts presenting multilayered structure. Starting from this analysis model, some fundamental mechanical relationships, including those of the safe load-bearing and overall strength, have been deduced for these porous composite materials. The compressive strength has been characterized for the porous composite body, corresponding to the overall failure caused by the prior breakage of the strut core and by the prior breakage of the strut shell, respectively. The nickel foam products manufactured on the production line of enterprise were used to make porous composite materials by coating the pore struts with epoxy resin, and the metal foam composite material was obtained with the composite pore-struts of metal/resin multilayered structure. Using this porous composite material for compression experiments, it is found that the experimental data match well with the mathematical relationship from the present theoretical model. The results verify the feasibility of this analysis model and the practicality of the relevant mathematical relationship.

Communicative Philosophy of Science: Genesis and Contemporary Trends of Development

The study is dedicated to modelling the contemporary portrayal of the philosophy of science. The essence of its theses is elucidated through the following assertions: a) right from its beginning, a communicative potential was embedded within the philosophy of science; b) its origin arises from a culmination of predecessors’ accomplishments; c) the value of the communicative approach in the philosophy of science lies in its acceptance rather than opposition to the formal direction. The analysis is conducted retrospectively. The emergence of ideas within communicative philosophy of science is noticeable in its relevant relationship with the evolution of theories in logical positivism, rhetoric, pragmatism, linguistics, philosophy of language, and sociology of science. Analytical, synthetic, historical, rhetorical and structural-functional methodologies were used in the investigation. The findings of the study confirmed the hypothesis: communicative philosophy of science represents a historical combination of the field’s achievements, incorporating rhetorical, universalistic and particularistic developmental perspectives.

Existence and Stability of Solutions for p-Proportional ω-Weighted κ-Hilfer Fractional Differential Inclusions in the Presence of Non-Instantaneous Impulses in Banach Spaces

In this work, we introduce a new definition for the fractional differential operator that generalizes several well-known fractional differential operators. In fact, we introduce the notion of the p-proportional ω-weighted κ-Hilfer derivative includes an exponential function, Da,λσ,ρ,p,κ,ω, and then we consider a non-instantaneous impulse differential inclusion containing Da,λσ,ρ,p,κ,ω with order σ∈(1,2) and of kind ρ∈[0,1] in Banach spaces. We deduce the relevant relationship between any solution to the studied problem and the integral equation that corresponds to it, and then, by using an appropriate fixed-point theorem for multi-valued functions, we give two results for the existence of these solutions. In the first result, we show the compactness of the solution set. Next, we introduce the concept of the (p,ω,κ)-generalized Ulam-Hyeres stability of solutions, and, using the properties of the multi-valued weakly Picard operator, we present a result regarding the (p,ω,κ)-generalized Ulam-Rassias stability of the objective problem. Since many fractional differential operators are particular cases of the operator Da,λσ,ρ,p,κ,ω, our work generalizes a number of recent findings. In addition, there are no past works on this kind of fractional differential inclusion, so this work is original and enjoyable. In the last section, we present examples to support our findings.

MRI and single-cell RNA sequence results reveal the influence of anterior talofibular ligament injury on osteochondral lesions of the talus

Anterior talofibular ligament injuries and osteochondral lesions of the talus present unique challenges to orthopedic surgeons. This study aimed to investigate the relevant relationship between them by analyzing the Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results of clinical patients and single-cell RNA sequence (scRNA seq) results of healthy talus cartilage to discuss the risk factors. Data from 164 patients from 2018 to 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. The correlation analysis between ATFL injury grade and the Hepple stage of OLT determined by MRI was performed. Publicly available single-cell RNA datasets were collected. Single-cell RNA datasets from five volunteers of healthy talus cartilage were analyzed. ATFL injury grade was relevant with the Hepple stage of OLT (P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that injured area was the independent influencing factor of the incidence rate and the severity of OLT (P < 0.05). The Hepple stage of OLT was relevant with AOFAS and VAS (P < 0.05). Single-cell RNA sequence results showed that among the 9 subtypes of chondrocytes, the interaction strength between HTC-A and HTC-B is the highest. Their physical interactions are mainly achieved through the CD99 signaling pathway, and factor interactions are mainly achieved through the ANGPTL signaling pathway. Anterior talofibular ligament injury may lead to osteochondral lesions of the talus. Early medical intervention should be carried out for ligament injuries to restore joint stability and avoid cartilage damage.

Allopurinol is Associated with an Increased Risk of Cerebral Infarction: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.

Previous studies have reported that the inappropriate use of allopurinol may increase the risk of cerebrovascular accidents, but some studies have also confirmed that allopurinol is a protective factor against stroke. To clarify whether there is a relevant causal relationship between allopurinol and cerebral infarction, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Data on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with allopurinol and genome-wide association studies of cerebral infarction were obtained from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) web site. Five basic MR analyses were performed using MR-Egger regression, weighted median (WM1), inverse variance weighting (IVW), weighted mode (WM2), and simple mode. Sensitivity analysis was subsequently performed to detect horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneity, and potential outliers. The final analysis results were mainly based on the IVW estimates. A total of 10 SNPs were used as instrumental variables (IVs). MR analysis [(IVW: odds ratio (OR) = 1.053, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.019-1.088, P = 0.002), (WM1: OR = 1.053, 95% CI: 1.009-1.098, P = 0.017), (WM2: OR = 1.050, 95% CI: 1.008-1.095, P = 0.044), (MR Egger: Q = 4.285, P = 0.830)] showed a positive causal association between allopurinol and the risk of cerebral infarction. Sensitivity analysis such as horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity increased the reliability of this result. The results of this study provide direct evidence that there is a causal relationship between allopurinol and cerebral infarction and that allopurinol may increase the risk of cerebral infarction.

Absorptive capacity, entrepreneurial orientation and organizational performance in state-owned companies

PurposeThe objective of this article is to analyze the relationship between absorptive capacity, entrepreneurial orientation, and performance within Brazilian federal state-owned companies.Design/methodology/approachPrimary data were obtained using survey research. Secondary data were obtained using the Federal State-owned Companies Bulletin and the website State-owned Companies Overview. Tested and validated scales were selected to reflect Absorptive Capacity (ACAP), Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO), and Organizational Performance (OP) variables applied to a sample of 119 managers and advisors of federal state-owned companies. Structural Equation Modeling techniques were applied to identify the statistical significance of the direct, indirect, and total effects. The final measurement and structural model presented convergent and discriminant validity with acceptable adjustment indexes.FindingsACAP was found to be directly related to the ability to identify, recognize, transform, and especially implement new knowledge. EO is related to the institution’s ability to take risks, be proactive, and innovate. Those are fundamental processes for fulfilling the mission of state-owned companies, for their survival, and for improving the quality of public services provided to society. These findings differ from studies carried out in private companies since the ACAP-exploration dimension in private businesses displays a relevant relationship between the factors composing EO, a feature not observed here.Originality/valueThe paper’s main contribution is to confirm the influence of ACAP on EO and EO on OP, considering the environment of Brazilian federal state-owned companies. Such results expand the scarce academic studies on absorptive capacity, entrepreneurial orientation, and performance in the public area, in addition to offering perspectives of specific training direction to expand the competencies of public managers.

Morality, strategy, and emotions: What can contemporary psychological research tell us about their relationship?

Previous research has shown that morality matters to strategy, often through emotions. However, this research has not fully engaged with contemporary psychological research to enunciate our understanding of the relationship between morality, strategy, and emotions. This article argues that a proper engagement with contemporary psychological research usefully contributes to our understanding of the given relationship, particularly in the context of strategic studies. Specifically, contemporary psychological research highlights the importance of distinguishing among various specific emotions, explains the complicated relationship between emotion and behavior, allows for finding patterns in variance, and offers an opportunity to study the malleability of morality in strategic context. This improved understanding of the relevant relationship provides solid grounds for further research on the subject.

The importance of romantic relationships in preventing suicide

AbstractRomantic relationships can both attenuate and exacerbate suicide risk. Suicide prevention strategies in the United States have emphasized the importance of healthy connections with others; however, suicide prevention efforts overwhelmingly continue to focus on individual‐level interventions. This presents a missed opportunity to prevent suicide through a focus on romantic relationship factors that are strongly associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. To identify underutilized or new avenues for improving suicide prevention, the current article aims to (a) provide an overview of the literature on romantic relationship functioning and suicide risk in adults to elucidate potential prevention targets, and (b) use a public health framework to highlight evidence‐based and emerging avenues to prevent suicide by targeting relevant relationship factors.

Development of the Arabic Inventory of Parent and Domestic Worker Attachment (A-IPDWA): A tool to assess adolescents' attachment to secondary figures.

Adolescents' attachment security toward parental figures has been assessed in multiple cultures and languages. In some cultural contexts, the presence of a secondary parental figure is ubiquitous, though its effect on children's and adolescents' well-being has been understudied. The present study aimed to validate a culture-specific Arabic instrument of attachment security, in an adolescent sample of Qatar. Since foreign domestic workers (Khadama) play a key role as secondary caring figures in Middle Eastern countries, the new instrument included parents (i.e., mother and father) and domestic workers as providers of attachment security. A sample of 387 adolescents (ages 12-17 years; 48.3% females) participated in the study in the 2020-2021 school term. While 286 students completed the version in modern Arabic, 101 counterparts attending international schools filled in the English version for comparison purposes. Confirmatory Factor Analysis for all three forms (i.e., mother, father, and domestic worker) showed the one-dimension of the Arabic tool. Optimal Tucker's Phi coefficient indicated a comparable one-factor structure of attachment security across linguistic versions. Moderate correlations (positive and negative, respectively) of attachment security towards father and mother (but not towards domestic workers) with family cohesion and family conflict dimensions of the Family Environment Scale provided evidence for the concurrent validity. Gender differences in the links between adolescents' attachment security and family conflict were observed; culturally relevant relationship family patterns are stressed. The practical implications of the Arabic Inventory of Parent and Domestic Worker Attachment (A-IPDWA) validation are discussed.

Investigation into Detection Efficiency Deviations in Aviation Soot and Calibration Particles Based on Condensation Particle Counting

Aviation soot constitutes a significant threat to human well-being, underscoring the critical importance of accurate measurements. The condensation particle counter (CPC) is the primary instrument for quantifying aviation soot, with detection efficiency being a crucial parameter. The properties of small particles and the symmetry of their growth pathways are closely related to the detection efficiency of the CPC. In laboratory environments, sodium chloride is conventionally utilized to calibrate the CPC’s detection efficiency. However, aviation soot exhibits distinctive morphological characteristics compared to the calibration particles, leading to detection efficiencies obtained from calibration particles that may not be applicable to aviation soot. To address this issue, a quantitative study was performed to explore the detection efficiency deviations between aviation soot and calibration particles. The experiment initially utilized a differential mobility analyzer to size select the two types of polydisperse particles into monodisperse particles. Subsequently, measurements of the separated particles were performed using the TSI Corporation’s aerosol electrometer and a rigorously validated CPC (BH-CPC). These allowed for determining the detection efficiency deviation in the BH-CPC for the two types of particles at different particle sizes. Furthermore, the influence of the operating temperature of the BH-CPC on this detection efficiency deviation was investigated. The experimental results indicate a significant detection efficiency deviation between aviation soot and sodium chloride. In the range of 10–40 nm, the absolute detection efficiency deviation can reach a maximum of 0.15, and the relative deviation can reach a maximum of 0.75. And this detection efficiency deviation can be reduced by establishing a relevant relationship between the detection efficiency of the operating temperature and the calibration temperature. Compared to the saturated segment calibration temperature of 50 °C, the aviation soot detection efficiency is closer to the sodium chloride detection efficiency at the calibration temperature of 50 °C when the saturated segment operates at a temperature of 45 °C. These studies provide crucial theoretical guidance for enhancing the precision of aviation soot emission detection and establish a foundation for future research in monitoring and controlling soot emissions within the aviation sector.

Discretionary powers of administrative court: some aspects of their understanding and exercise

Having studied Ukrainian general legislative provisions, binding legal opinions of the Supreme Court of Ukraine and the scientific literature concerning the discretionary powers of administrative courts, it is established that, regardless of the use of quasi-dispositive wording expressing the “possibility” or the “right” of the administrative court to make a procedural decision, the existence of grounds for such decisions implies that it has the duty to make this decision or, in exceptional cases, to adequately justify the inconsistency of the decision that could have been made with the tasks and principles of administrative proceedings. It is noted that the discretion of the administrative court cannot be unlimited and is subject to general and sectoral principles, the purpose of administrative proceedings and individual procedural mechanisms and some other factors of a higher order to the provision establishing procedural discretion. For instance, it was determined that deviations from previous decisions made by the same administrative court judge in the same or similar cases are not acceptable. However, not any non-uniform application of law within the freedom of discretion should be justified, but only a difference that has a significant impact on disputed rights and obligations on the participants of the relevant legal relationship.&#x0D; It is argued that the discretion of the administrative court, which is not limited by special restrictive legislative provisions, in order to prevent arbitrary decisions, must be accompanied by the obligation to properly substantiate the existence of grounds for making a particular procedural decision with reference to those real factual circumstances, which as far as possible can be measured by objective indicators and verified within the framework of the court decision appellate. It is emphasized that this when exercising discretionary powers is necessary for the administrative court to fulfill general requirements regarding the existence of a rational basis for the decision taken, confirmation of its legality and reasonableness with the help of facts and evidence, relying on which any other judge of the administrative court acting in good faith and with competence in the relevant matters would have sufficient grounds to make the same decision.

National registration of space objects: analysis of problems and solutions

The article is devoted to the study of the legal aspects of the implementation of the norms of space law in Ukraine regarding the implementation of the national registration of space objects. It was established that the registration-legal connection between a space object and the state is a legal element that determines the presence or absence of a stipulated right of state jurisdiction over a space object in outer space. It is proven that the implementation of the exclusive jurisdiction of the state depends on the existence of a clear mechanism for the national registration of space objects and the effective functioning of their state register.&#x0D; Based on the analysis of the norms of international space law, it was determined that the «state of registration» of a space object is its «launch state», which maintains a register of space objects. It is emphasized that the «launch state» should introduce a national procedure for registering space objects, which involves the creation of a state register. The legal significance of their registration lies in the fact that entering a space object into the register is a legally significant action that enables the application of the norms of national legislation. It is the “launch state” that has received and implemented the right to register the space object, will have the legal status of the “registration state” and will implement quasi­territorial jurisdiction over the object during its stay in outer space.&#x0D; It is argued that the legislative norm on the mandatory state registration of spacecraft in the State Register of Spacecraft of Ukraine does not currently create legal consequences for the subjects of the relevant legal relationship, since the Rules for the Registration of Spacecraft in Ukraine have not been approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine yet. Legal uncertainty regarding the rules of their registration creates a potentially dangerous jurisdictional vacuum during the stay of spacecraft in outer space, which can lead to the emergence of negative legal situations.&#x0D; The primary step of the state in solving this problem should be the establishment of a clear and effective procedure for the national registration of space objects. This will contribute to ensuring legal stability and compliance of Ukrainian space legislation with the norms and principles of international space law, as well as guaranteeing the preservation of Ukraine’s jurisdiction over objects launched into outer space.

Unveiling the relationship between the SUVmax of 18F-FDG PET/CT and patient and tumor characteristics

18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG)-based positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is an indispensable tool in modern oncology, extensively used for diagnosing and staging various cancers. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of FDG helps identify the most metabolically active areas of disease. In this analytical cross-sectional study performed between January and December 2019, we compared SUVmax for different cancer types and determined the effect of demographic, pathological, and clinical variables on SUVmax. The study included 117 newly diagnosed cancer patients who underwent FDG PET/CT before treatment. Data on descriptive variables, including age, gender, stage, histopathological diagnosis, and tumor differentiation grade, were collected for each patient. Correlation analysis of these variables with SUVmax in FDG PET/CT was performed using Spearmen&amp;rsquo;s test and a forward stepwise regression model. A total of 117 patients (63 males and 54 females) with a median age of 61 years (range: 21 &amp;ndash; 90) were included in this study. Histopathological diagnoses revealed squamous cell carcinoma (n = 71%), adenocarcinoma (n = 24%), and small cell cancer (n = 5%). The SUVmax of the primary tumor was positively correlated with histology (P &lt; 0.05), with the highest SUVmax observed in squamous cell carcinomas. In conclusion, SUVmax was positively correlated with histology, while no association was detected with the patient&amp;rsquo;s age and gender, as well as the stage, organ, site, or grade of the tumors. However, we recommend a larger and more homogenous study sample to further investigate any clinically relevant relationship between the SUVmax and various disease factors in diverse patient populations.

Things to keep in mind when selecting physical assessments in youth soccer: Correlations between test performances, interlimb asymmetries, and effects of maturation.

A range of field-based tests have been proposed for inclusion in physical performance assessment batteries. However, there are obvious time and human resources constraints in applied settings. The knowledge of potential relationships between tests on performance, asymmetries, as well as maturation-induced changes, may help select the most informative and least time-consuming testing battery. The purposes of this study were: (1) to determine correlations in performance between different field-based tests, in interlimb asymmetry between those unilateral tests, and between asymmetry scores and test performances, and (2) to determine the influence of players' maturity status on test performances and asymmetries. A total of 309 male youth soccer players completed a nine-test battery including y-balance test, drop vertical jump, countermovement jump, single leg countermovement jump, standing long jump, single leg hop for distance, Illinois agility test, 10 m sprint, and 20 m sprint. The results revealed moderate-to-very large relationships between jump, sprint, and agility performances (r = 0.43-0.94), but weak-to-moderate correlations between these tests and balance scores (r ≤ 0.38). No relevant relationship (r ≤ 0.32) for asymmetries detected through different unilateral tests was found, nor between asymmetries and performance scores (r < 0.29). While maturity status clearly influenced players' performance, a limited impact on asymmetries was evident. Despite the mentioned relationships, the low shared variance between tests indicates that they should not be used interchangeably, and coaches should select those with the greatest specificity for the sport. Asymmetries do not influence performance, but their prevalence and unchanging nature with maturation can be seen as an opportunity for the identification of highly asymmetrical players and the application of interventions to improve the weaker limb, irrespective of the athlete's stage of development. To this end, the single leg countermovement jump might be viewed as an appropriate test in male youth soccer.

Causal relationship between lipid profile and muscle atrophy: A bi-directional Mendelian randomization study.

The aim of this study was to analyze the bi-directional causal relationship between lipid profile and characteristics related to muscle atrophy by using a bi-directional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. The appendicular lean mass (ALM), whole body fat-free mass (WBFFM) and trunk fat-free mass (TFFM) were used as genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for evaluating muscle mass; the usual walking pace (UWP) and low grip strength (LGS) were used as GWAS data for evaluating muscle strength; and the triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1), and apolipoprotein B (Apo B) were used as GWAS data for evaluating lipid profile. For specific investigations, we mainly employed inverse variance weighting for causal estimation and MR-Egger for pleiotropy analysis. MR results showed that the lipid profile predicted by genetic variants was negatively correlated with muscle mass, positively correlated with UWP, and was not causally correlated with LGS. On the other hand, the muscle mass predicted by genetic variants was negatively correlated with lipid profile, the UWP predicted by genetic variants was mainly positively correlated with lipid profile, while the LGS predicted by genetic variants had no relevant causal relationship with lipid profile. Findings of this MR analysis suggest that hyperlipidemia may affect muscle mass and lead to muscle atrophy, but has no significant effect on muscle strength. On the other hand, increased muscle mass may reduce the incidence of dyslipidemia.

Continuous Phase Regulation of a Pd-Te Hexagonal Nanoplate Library.

Phase regulation of noble metal-based nanomaterials provides a promising strategy for boosting the catalytic performance. However, realizing the continuous phase modulation in two-dimensional structures and unveiling the relevant structure-performance relationship remain significant challenges. In this work, we present the first example of continuous phase modulation in a library of Pd-Te hexagonal nanoplates (HNPs) from cubic-phase Pd4Te, rhombohedral-phase Pd20Te7, rhombohedral-phase Pd8Te3, and hexagonal-phase PdTe to hexagonal-phase PdTe2. Notably, the continuous phase regulation of the well-defined Pd-Te HNPs enables the successful modulation of the distance between adjacent Pd active sites, triggering an exciting way for tuning the relevant catalytic reactions intrinsically. The proof-of-concept oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) experiment shows a Pd-Pd distance-dependent ORR performance, where the hexagonal-phase PdTe HNPs present the best electrochemical performance in ORR (mass activity and specific activity of 1.02 A mg-1Pd and 1.83 mA cm-2Pd at 0.9 V vs RHE). Theoretical investigation reveals that the increased Pd-Pd distance relates to the weak *OH adsorption over Pd-Te HNPs, thus contributing to the remarkable ORR activity of PdTe HNPs. This work advances the phase-controlled synthesis of noble metal-based nanostructures, which gives huge impetus to the design of high-efficiency nanomaterials for diverse applications.

Integration between Islamic Revelation and Local Culture: A Study of Theology and the Indigenisation of Islam in Indonesia

This research explains the Islamic revelation in the context of the synergy between fiqh and tradition. Using qualitative methods, this research concludes that: first, the pribumization of Islam is the result of the thought of K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) by seeking harmonization between fiqh and tradition. Gus Dur referred to the compromising process of Islamization by the Walisongo in spreading Islam in Nusantara as a very effective instrument or medium in the spreading of Islam. Secondly, in the Islamic Pribumization discourse, Gus Dur used the fiqh methodology of al-'ādah muhakkamah and al-'tsābit bi al-'urf ka al-tsābit bi al-nash, which were seen as capable of paying attention to the needs present in the local culture. For example, the greeting assalamu’alaikum is interpreted in the good morning greeting only in the relationship of mu’amalah, not up to the level of worship, in the custom of marriage by carrying out the conditions of harmony, but still given space in expressing their respective cultures while not contrary to religion. Third, based on its historical flow, religious values within culture in the Pribumization of Islam substantially shifted towards the discourse of Islam Nusantara and are now transformed into one of the indicators of religious moderation, namely accommodating a local culture so that it has a relevant relationship therein.
