These principles are woven into a concept of progressive and civilized Islamic education. Philosophical research is intended to examine the thoughts of figures and their educational concepts.

Body and Society: Symbolic Equation in Vampire Academy Series

The body serves as a symbol that describes the relationship between individual parts of an organism and the system as a whole. A structure of the social system of society can be found within the body. Literature works as the product of a culture and is considered a mirror of society. The body in literature is often a theme or symbol rich in meaning because the body can reflect various aspects of human life, such as identity, emotion, culture, politics, spirituality, and social relationships. The use of the body in literature often involves multidimensional exploration that inspires readers to understand the human experience more deeply. The Vampire Academy series brings about a body issue representing certain social structures of a society. This study aims to explore the symbols underlying the vampire body in the Vampire Academy series. The material and data were gained from library sources using a literary study method. The objects of this study are six novels by Richelle Mead from the Vampire Academy series, which tell the story of the lives of teenagers who fight against the class division structure in a school. The results include the body becoming a symbol of group identity, as seen in the tattoos of the Dhampir guardians’ class and the Human Alchemists, symbols of sexuality in body shape, and symbols of power in the blood, skin colour, and tooth shape.

Gut microbiota in patients with sarcopenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Intestinal dysbiosis was considered a pivotal pathological mechanism underlying sarcopenia. Despite the fervor surrounding research in this domain, substantial controversy persists regarding the obtained outcomes. To systematically summarized the disparities in gut microbiota composition between the group afflicted by sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia controls. PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholer, Cochrane Library and gray literature sources were systematically searched for in randomized controlled trials. Meta-analysis and random-effects meta-regression were conducted using Rev. Man 5.3. Overall effect was measured using Hedges's g and determined using Z-statistics. Cochran's Q test and I 2 were used to investigate heterogeneity. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess overall quality of evidence. Ten studies, including 421 cases of sarcopenia and 1,642 cases of controls, were included in the meta-analysis. Patients with sarcopenia showed significantly reduced gut microbiota in α diversity, and β diversity was significantly different in 8/9 of included studies. We also found more abundance of phylum Proteobacteria and genus Escherichia-Shigella, and less abundance of phylum Firmicutes and genus Faecalibacterium, Prevotella 9, Blautia in the sarcopenia group. The gut microbiota composition in patients with sarcopenia has undergone alterations, serving as a fundamental reference for further investigation into the potential pathogenic mechanisms and treatment strategies for sarcopenia.

The efficacy of resveratrol supplementation on inflammation and oxidative stress in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients: randomized double-blind placebo meta-analysis.

The effects of resveratrol supplementation on inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were controversial. A meta-analysis was performed to assess the changes in levels of inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with T2DM. Relevant literatures before November 6, 2024 were screened through Web of Science,Embase,the Cochrane Library and other sources (ClinicalTrials, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses). The quality of the literature was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews. The study quality was assessed using the risk-of-bias 2 tool and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment,Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Review Manager 5.3 conducted meta-analysis of the data included in the literature. This meta-analysis was conducted in six randomized controlled trials involving 533 participants. Our results showed that supplementation with resveratrol significantly reduced C-reactive protein levels(SMD = -1.40, 95%CI(-2.60, -0.21), P = 0.02; Level of evidence: low), lipid peroxide levels (SMD = -0.99, 95%CI(-1.36, -0.61), P < 0.00001; Level of evidence: low), 8-isoprostanes(SMD = -0.79, 95%CI(-1.16, -0.42), P < 0.0001; Level of evidence: low) and oxidative stress score (SMD = -1.62, 95%CI(-2.49, -0.75), P = 0.0003; Level of evidence: very low). In addition, compared to placebo, Supplementation with resveratrol significantly increased glutathione peroxidase levels (SMD = 0.38, 95%CI(0.03, 0.74), P = 0.04; Level of evidence:low) and catalase levels (SMD = 0.33, 95%CI(0.03, 0.63), P = 0.03; Level of evidence: low). However, no significant difference was observed in improving interleukin-6 levels (SMD = -1.35, 95%CI(-2.75, -0.05), P = 0.06; Level of evidence: very low), tumor necrosis factor α levels (SMD = -3.30, 95%CI(-7.47, 0.87), P = 0.12; Level of evidence: very low), superoxide dismutase levels (SMD = 0.39, 95%CI(-0.26, 1.04), P = 0.24; Level of evidence: very low), total antioxidant capacity levels (SMD = 0.39, 95%CI(-0.23, 1.00), P = 0.21; Level of evidence: very low) and malondialdehyde levels (SMD = -3.36, 95%CI(-10.30, 3.09), P = 0.29; Level of evidence: very low). Resveratrol improved inflammation and oxidative stress in T2DM patients to some extent. This provides a new idea and method for clinical treatment. However, due to the limitations of the study, more large-sample, multi-center clinical studies are needed to verify this conclusion.

A Look at Afghanistan – India Political Relations from 2001 to 2020

The largest doctrine of India's foreign policy divides countries into three concentric circles, with Afghanistan in the first circle. Therefore, this country is of special importance in India's foreign policy. The question that can be raised is, what is India's political aim in its foreign relations with Afghanistan? This work employed the doctrinal research methodology along with descriptive, explanatory, and analytical research approaches. This study was entirely based on library sources. The sources were textbooks, scholarly published and unpublished journal articles, law reports related to the research area. The expected result of this research is that in examining India's approach towards Afghan governments, an important point is that India has cooperated with different regimes in different periods, regardless of the regime ruling in Kabul. India is seeking to reduce the influence of Pakistan and engage in a political siege of Afghanistan by playing a role in internal developments and helping to rebuild the country. In this regard, India has tried to cooperate with other regional and influential powers in Afghanistan such as Iran in various fields to limit the role of Pakistan in the region.

Prediction Models for Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Stroke is one of the most serious illnesses worldwide and is the primary cause of acquired disability among adults. Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a complication of stroke that significantly impacts patients' daily activities and social functions. Therefore, developing a risk prediction model for PSCI is essential for identifying and preventing disease progression. This study systematically reviewed and analyzed PSCI prediction models, identifying the associated risk factors. We systematically retrieved literature from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and other sources. Two researchers independently extracted the literature and assessed the risk of bias using the Critical Appraisal and Data Extraction for Systematic Reviews of Prediction Modelling Studies (CHARMS) checklist and The Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST). A total of 20 articles describe the PSCI prediction model, with an incidence rate ranging from 8% to 75%. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value for the development models ranged from 0.66 to 0.969, while the validation models ranged from 0.763 to 0.893. Age, diabetes, hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), hypertension, and homocysteine (hcy) were identified as the strongest predictors. In this systematic review, several PSCI prediction models demonstrate promising prediction performance, although they often lack external validation and exhibit high heterogeneity in some predictive factors. Therefore, we recommend that medical practitioners utilize a comprehensive set of predictive factors to screen for high-risk PSCI patients. Furthermore, future research should prioritize refining and validating existing models by incorporating novel variables and methodologies.

Educational Policy Analysis: Examining Pesantren Policies and Their Implications on the Independence of Kyai and Pesantren in the Contemporary Era

Purpose – This study aims to investigate the autonomy of “Kyai” (religious teachers) within Pesantren in making education policy. In examining these policies, it focuses on the evolution of teaching and the implementation of the “Asas Tunggal Pancasila” in Indonesian educational institutions, the struggles of Pesantren policies that led to the birth of Law No. 18 of 2019, and the dark side of the politicization of religion that has implications for educational policies. Design/methods/approach – This type of research uses qualitative research with a case study of two Islamic boarding schools in East Java (research objects). Primary data sources come from observation and interview results. Secondary data sources come from library sources such as laws, scientific articles (journals), books, etc. Data collection used observation techniques, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and documentation (document analysis). Data analysis techniques used qualitative data analysis techniques, namely data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Findings – The research reveals that the law empowers Pesantren and Kyai to shape their institutions in alignment with societal demands, traditions, and evolving times. Though the Kyai’s independence significantly affects the Pesantren’s trajectory, it does not singularly define its identity. The law underscores the imperative for contemporary teaching methods, curriculum evolution, and infrastructure enhancement, urging Kyai to eschew rigid and authoritarian stances. Research implications/limitations – The research has theoretical implications that two contrasting views concerning Pesantren policies’ influence on Kyai’s independence vis-à-vis political elites. Proponents (“Yes”) highlight Alignment of Interest, Empowerment and Development, and Community Engagement. Opponents (“No”) cite the Preservation of Autonomy, the potential for manipulation, and an inherent distrust of political parties. Originality/value – The research provides direction for the complex interplay between religious education and the political domain in Indonesia.

&lt;b&gt;Transformation of Islamic Higher Education: Policy Strategy, Challenges, and Opportunities&lt;/b&gt;

This study aims to identify policy strategies, research trends, challenges, and opportunities to transform Islamic Religious Higher Education (PTAI) to increase global competitiveness and relevance. This study uses a qualitative paradigm with a literature study approach to analyse the institutional transformation of Islamic higher education. Data were collected by searching for scientific articles in leading databases, such as Scopus and Garuda Kemendikbud. The analysis used content analysis techniques to identify central themes and synthesise data descriptively. The study's results identified several important aspects related to policy strategies, research trends, and challenges and opportunities, including (1) Digital Transformation of Islamic Education, where PTAI needs to develop a curriculum that is in line with technology and ensure that the quality of teaching is maintained. The Diffusion of Innovation Theory explains that factors such as relative advantage, observability, complexity, trialability, and technology compatibility influence the adoption of technology in PTAI; (2) A sustainable Adaptive Education Model based on transformational learning theory, which emphasises the importance of critical reflection on social and environmental changes in order to prepare students to face global challenges; (3) Development of Digital Skills to support the transformation of higher education, by the Theory of Educational Technology; (4) Innovation and Entrepreneurship that focuses on increasing the competitiveness of PTAI, based on the theory of educational entrepreneurship. The implications of this study indicate that PTAI needs to adopt technology and adaptive education models to increase global competitiveness. The study's limitations lie in the limited library sources of international scientific articles. The suggestion for further research is to explore the practical implementation of PTAI transformation in various countries, focusing on field studies.

The Effectiveness of Hanzhala and Watermelon Icons as A Symbol Representation of The Palestine Struggle on The Palestine-Israel Conflict

The never-ending conflict between Palestine and Israel has resulted in great suffering to this day. However, the fighting spirit of the Palestinian people continues to grow strong roots. Palestinian people use various media to voice their rights and criticize the current situation affecting Palestine, one of which is in the form of caricature art. Naji Al-Ali, as a caricature artist, is active in voicing criticism and the conditions of concern faced by Palestinian society. Hanzhala is one of Naji's works created against the backdrop of the Nakba. Hanzhala then evolved into a symbol of resistance and a strong symbol of struggle for the national identity of the Palestinian people. This research will analyze the relevance and effectiveness of the use of Hanzhala caricatures as a reflection of the factual conditions of Palestinian resistance in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from 7 October 2023 until now. This research was researched using a descriptive qualitative approach method through relevant library sources. Based on the research analysis that has been carried out, the Hanzhala caricatures by Naji al-Ali remain relevant in depicting criticism and current conflict situations. However, the use of Hanzhala caricatures as a medium for criticism has not attracted much attention from the global community, so the aim of using caricatures as a medium to increase recognition of the resistance to the Palestinian struggle is less effective.

Anhedonia in Youth and the Role of Internet-Related Behavior: A Systematic Review

Introduction: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) defines depression as a persistent period of sadness or a reduced interest in everyday activities lasting at least two weeks. Anhedonia, a key symptom of depression, is notable for its significance and is regarded as the second most important factor related to non-somatic issues, following closely behind a depressed mood. This study primarily investigates how excessive or problematic use of Internet-connected devices affects the mood and emotions of young people, with a specific emphasis on anhedonia. Additionally, it explores associated socio-behavioral changes and examines the interaction between IA and depression. Methods: This systematic review was conducted following PRISMA international guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library (Clinical Trials section), Scopus, Embase, PsycInfo, and grey literature sources like Google Scholar. A predefined search strategy using Boolean operators was employed, and two researchers independently selected papers, with a third researcher resolving any discrepancies. Manual reviews were conducted to minimize selection bias. Results: Out of 3812 records, 7 studies were included. The findings suggest that social anhedonia correlates with higher levels of IA, particularly among adolescents and young adults. In some studies, loneliness was identified as a mediator between social anhedonia and social functioning, indicating a complex interplay of emotional factors. Other investigations revealed that increased screen time is associated with a heightened risk of developing addiction-related behaviors. Practical Implications and Conclusions: This review highlights the key role of anhedonia in the development of Internet addiction (IA) among young people, particularly through its impact on emotional regulation and social interactions. Addressing psychological and environmental factors is essential for developing targeted strategies to prevent and manage IA and its related mental health challenges.
