Communication Strategy for Deliberalization of Islamic Thought at UNIDA Gontor

Liberalism, when viewed from its development, has two main streams that mutually use the term liberal. Classical liberalism or economic liberalism emphasizes individual freedom in carrying out activities in the economic field, and social liberalism, emphasizes the state's role in defending individual rights, usually formed as anti-discrimination laws. In addition to the trend of liberalization which emphasizes economic, political, and social rights, liberalism is also found in the field of religious thought. Indeed, liberalism in Western civilization's social and political fields has slowly separated religion from social and political affairs. Religion has no place in social and political interests. Concepts such as pluralism, multiculturalism, feminism, gender equality, democratization, humanism, freedom, and human rights are several layers of elements in the liberalization movement. Even theses and dissertations in Islamic universities are written to seek Islamic justification for these concepts. To stem this massive liberalization movement, researchers take the example of preventing the liberalization of Islamic thought in Islamic tertiary institutions, namely at the University of Darussalam (UNIDA) Gontor. This type of research is qualitative, with in-depth interview data collection techniques, and data analysis techniques namely triangulation of data sources (results of interviews and previous research). The result of this research is that UNIDA Gontor uses a curriculum based on the Islamization of Science. In addition, Islamization activities are also carried out through weekly student discussions guided by mentors, bi-weekly studies for lecturers and staff, scientific papers written by students and lecturers, and community service activities.

Holistic Person-Centered Care in Radiotherapy: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Several types of health care professionals are responsible for the care of patients with cancer throughout their engagement with the health care system. One such type is the radiotherapist. The radiotherapist not only administers treatment but is also directly involved with the patient during treatment. Despite this direct contact with the patient, the narrative tends to focus more on technical tasks than the actual patient. This task-focused interaction is often due to the highly sophisticated equipment and complex radiotherapy treatment processes involved. This often results in not meeting the psychosocial needs of the patient, and patients have acknowledged noncompliance and delayed treatment as a result. The scoping review aims to explore, chart, and map the available literature on holistic person-centered care in radiotherapy and to identify and present key concepts, definitions, methodologies, knowledge gaps, and evidence related to holistic person-centered care in radiotherapy. This protocol was developed using previously described methodological frameworks for scoping studies. The review will include both peer-reviewed and gray literature regarding holistic, person-centered care in radiotherapy. A comprehensive search strategy has been developed for MEDLINE (Ovid), which will be translated into the other included databases: Scopus, CINAHL (EBSCO), MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Elsevier), Cochrane Library, and the Directory of Open Access Journals. Gray literature searching will include Google (Google Books and Google Scholar), ProQuest, the WorldWideScience website, the OpenGrey website, and various university dissertation and thesis repositories. The title and abstract screening, full-text review, and relevant data extraction will be performed independently by all 3 reviewers using the Covidence (Veritas Health Innovation) software, which will also be used to guide the resolution of conflicts. Sources selected will be imported into ATLAS.ti (ATLAS.ti Scientific Software Development GmbH) for analysis, which will consist of content analysis, narrative analysis, and descriptive synthesis. Results will be presented using narrative, diagrammatic, and tabular formats. The review is expected to identify research gaps that will inform current and future holistic, person-centered care in radiotherapy. The review commenced in November 2023, and the formal literature search was completed by the end of February 2024. Final results are expected to be published in a peer-reviewed journal by 2025. The findings of this review are expected to provide a wide variety of strategies aimed at providing holistic, person-centered care in radiotherapy, as well as to identify some gaps in the literature. These findings will be used to inform future studies aimed at designing, developing, evaluating, and implementing strategies toward improved holistic, person-centered care in radiotherapy.

Bibliometric Analysis of Turkish Journalism Theses and Dissertations: Research Approach Transformation

The rapidly changing landscape in the media sector, driven by the dynamic interplay of technology, communication systems, and societal influences, is causing a profound paradigm shift in academic research focus. This study investigates the landscape of journalism theses and dissertations in Turkey, spanning years, universities, types, subjects, keywords, and methodologies. Our approach employs bibliometric analysis to illuminate the transformation in research strategies within the journalism field. We collected data from the Council of Higher Education Thesis Center, where all graduate theses and doctoral dissertations are submitted through institutional channels using a web scraping technique. Over 36 years (1985–2021), 1,709 graduate studies were authored in journalism in Turkey. Our findings reveal that Istanbul University and Marmara University were prolific publishers of doctoral dissertations and master's theses, respectively. Predominant interdisciplinary themes revolve around communication sciences, sociology, and political communication. Notably, content analysis, discourse analysis, and field research have emerged as the primary research methodologies in journalism.

The families of the suborder Brachycera Schiner, 1862 (Insecta: Diptera): Part 1

Brachycera Schiner, 1862 is distinguished from the mosquitoes suborder Nematocera by their short antennae, with few segments. The antennae are formed by three segments of articles, the last of which ends in a long bristle, the arista, or in a multi-segmented article. The objective is to describe Brachycera families (Insecta Diptera). The methodological basis of the present work consists of bibliographical research of scientific articles published in national and international academic journals classified by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). Document analysis was used as a data collection method to gather information from theoretical books, banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and digital platforms: The search criterion for articles was prioritizing articles that dealt with the topic. Document analysis was used as a data collection method to gather information on theoretical books, banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and websites ResearchGate, HAL, and SSRN.

The families of the suborder Brachycera Schiner, 1862 (Insecta: Diptera): Part 2

Most Diptera belong to the Brachycera, a group characterized by the reduction or fusion of antennal segments to eight or fewer and by modifications to the larval head and mouthparts. The larvae of most species are predatory, although there are a few parasitoid groups as well. From a methodological point of view, the research was conducted using bibliometric and content analysis approaches. Bibliometrics is guided by the principle of analyzing scientific or technical activity through quantitative studies of publications, that is, through this approach. Document analysis was used as a data collection method to gather information from theoretical books, banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and digital platforms.

A Polyherbal Mixture with Nutraceutical Properties for Ruminants: A Meta-Analysis and Review of BioCholine Powder.

BioCholine Powder is a polyherbal feed additive composed of Achyrantes aspera, Trachyspermum ammi, Azadirachta indica, and Citrullus colocynthis. The objective of this study was to analyze published results that support the hypothesis that the polyherbal product BioCholine Powder has rumen bypass choline metabolites through a meta-analysis and effect size analysis (ES). Using Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and university dissertation databases, a systematic search was conducted for experiments published in scientific documents that evaluated the effects of BioCholine supplementation on the variables of interest. The analyzed data were extracted from twenty-one publications (fifteen scientific articles, three abstracts, and three graduate dissertations available in institutional libraries). The studies included lamb growing-finishing, lactating ewes and goats, calves, and dairy cows. The effects of BioCholine were analyzed using random effects statistical models to compare the weighted mean difference (WMD) between BioCholine-supplemented ruminants and controls (no BioCholine). Heterogeneity was explored, and three subgroup analyses were performed for doses [(4 (or 5 g/d), 8 (10 g/d)], supplementation in gestating and lactating ewes (pre- and postpartum supplementation), and blood metabolites by species and physiological state (lactating goats, calves, lambs, ewes). Supplementation with BioCholine in sheep increased the average daily lamb gain (p < 0.05), final body weight (p < 0.01), and daily milk yield (p < 0.05) without effects on intake or feed conversion. Milk yield was improved in small ruminants with BioCholine prepartum supplementation (p < 0.10). BioCholine supplementation decreased blood urea (p < 0.01) and increased levels of the liver enzymes alanine transaminase (ALT; p < 0.10) and albumin (p < 0.001). BioCholine doses over 8 g/d increased blood glucose, albumin (p < 0.10), cholesterol, total protein, and globulin (p < 0.05). The ES values of BioCholine in retained energy over the control in growing lambs were +7.15% NEm (p < 0.10) and +9.25% NEg (p < 0.10). In conclusion, adding BioCholine Powder to domestic ruminants' diets improves productive performance, blood metabolite indicators of protein metabolism, and liver health, showing its nutraceutical properties where phosphatidylcholine prevails as an alternative that can meet the choline requirements in ruminants.

Work Devotion as Identity Armor? How Single Professionals with Relationship Aspirations Use Career Decisions to Manage Their Identities

Although scholarship has established how people with a partner, child, or other domestic obligations account for these responsibilities when making career decisions, we lack conceptual apparatus around how career decision making is informed by personal aspirations. Following a cohort of 89 international aid workers over eight years, I draw on in-depth interview (n = 126), survey (n = 551), and job transition data (n = 228) to detail how career decision making serves as a platform for identity management for single professionals who have aspirations for a long-term intimate relationship. I introduce the possibility space, which conveys how the ability to realize relationship aspirations is constrained for work-devoted professionals, especially for straight women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) people. Yet, they resist scaling back work. I detail why, presenting the three types of career decisions they made: (1) work devotion as identity armor, protecting and affirming their current aid worker identity; (2) temporary work alterations as identity diversification, carving out time to hopefully realize their desired relationship while postponing the affirmation of their aid worker identity; and (3) durable work alterations as identity restructuring, removing the aid worker identity from their identity network. This article’s model of career decision making as identity management and the broader theoretical explanation of how different behavioral practices can manage temporally distinct identities offers important contributions to scholarship on identity, the work-nonwork interface, labor market inequalities, and career decision making.

A Contrastive Study of Lexical Bundles Expressing Gratitude in Dissertation Acknowledgments Produced by Chinese and American PhD Students of Linguistics

This study compared the five-word lexical bundles (LBs) expressing gratitude in acknowledgments of dissertations written by Chinese and American PhD students of linguistics. Two corpora were built: (1) The Chinese University Dissertation Acknowledgments Collection (CUC) which contained 700 acknowledgments with a total of 300,686 tokens, and (2) the American University Dissertation Acknowledgments Collection (AUC) which contained 700 acknowledgments with a total of 493,045 tokens. We then retrieved five-word LBs, of which LBs expressing gratitude in CUC and AUC were identified, categorized, and compared with respect to frequency, forms and structures. Major findings were: (1) the Chinese students used a substantially greater number of gratitude LBs than the American students, (2) the two groups used considerably different gratitude LBs, and (3) the two groups mainly relied on verb phrase-based LBs to express gratitude, but the Chinese students used a larger proportion of noun phrase- yet a smaller proportion of verb phrase-based items than the American students, and (4) the two groups used dissimilar structures and words to construct gratitude LBs. These findings enrich our knowledge of linguistic patterns in dissertation acknowledgments as a unique genre of academic prose, and provide corpus-based learning materials for students tasked with properly expressing gratitude in their theses or dissertations.

A comparison of environmental performance of electronic and bound-thesis using life cycle assessment

Dematerialization through information technology aids in advancing environmental sustainability. Replacing a bound thesis with an e-thesis for a university dissertation will be a complementary paradigm shift for higher environmental performance. Hence, the study intended to determine and compare the environmental performance parameters of conventional paper-based bound-thesis and e-thesis. Moreover, the study aimed to identify the activities causing higher environmental burdens during the production of bound and e-thesis. Open LCA 1.11 was employed for a conventional bound thesis with its e-version submitted by the undergraduates of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka. The study utilized U.S. EPA life-cycle inventory data. The analysis demonstrated that the overall global warming potential of a 40-page hard cover thesis was 4,839,000.00 kg CO2-eq to which paper and cover import and paper manufacturing stages contributed more than 99% (4,830,000.0 kg CO2-eq). In comparison, a 0.084 MB soft copy of an e-thesis reported a negligible (0.09936 kg CO2-eq) global warming potential value. Ozone formation-human health, ozone formation-terrestrial ecosystems, terrestrial acidification, fine particulate matter formation, and marine eutrophication potential were 265,584.31 kg NOx eq, 265,583.21 kg NOx eq, 177,451.5 kg SO2 eq, 52,948 kg PM2.5 eq, and 29,041.0 kg N-eq for bound thesis production system. Except for the stratospheric ozone depletion impact and water consumption, environmental performance indicators of e-thesis were superior to the conventional-bound thesis. The study recommends the preparation of e-thesis as an environmentally sound approach. Switching to renewables, extended lifespan, and material recycling of devices at the end of use, sustainable forestry practices, process optimization, and cleaner production technologies can further enhance the environmental performance of e-thesis.

Investigation of the Chyphotidae and Xyedidae Families (Insecta: Hymenoptera)

The Chyphotidae are a family of wasps similar to the Mutillidae, differing most visibly in the presence, in females, of a suture separating the pronotum from the mesonotum. These species are found primarily in arid regions of the southwestern United States and adjacent regions in Mexico. A record of a single species of Chyphotidae as ectoparasitoids of Solifugae (Arachnida) that pupated within the host’s burrow is all that is currently known about their habits. The Typhoctinae are known to be diurnal, and the nocturnal Chyphotinae. The adults of Xyedidae are common flowers, pollen producers, and adjacent pine trees. In the Nearctic, these are the first saw wasps to appear in spring and are usually found flying around pine branches. The larvae feed on the shoots and pollen of these plants, although the larvae of a few species feed on deciduous trees rather than conifers. The objective is to survey the characteristics of the families Chyphotidae and Xyedidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera). Document analysis was performed as a data collection method to gather information on theoretical books, theses banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and digital platforms sites: The search criterion for articles was to prioritize articles that dealt with the topic. Document analysis was used as a data collection method to gather information on theoretical books, theses banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and websites.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Completion of PhD Programmes in Public and Private Universities: Experiences of Supervisors and Graduate Students in Kenya

This research aimed to establish the psychosocial, social and economic impact of COVID-19 on the supervision and writing of dissertations in Kenyan universities. The study adopted a mixed-method design incorporating quantitative as well as qualitative approaches. A total of 40 questionnaires were distributed, 30 to doctoral students and 10 to doctoral supervisors from both public and private universities. The questionnaires included both structured questions as well as unstructured questions. The questionnaire was used to ascertain the influence of the pandemic on many sectors, including education, more specifically, the doctoral dissertation writing and supervision process. This study was guided by the following research questions: What are the psychological impacts of COVID-19 on dissertation writing and supervision in completing a PhD in both public and private universities in Kenya? What are the social impacts of COVID-19 on dissertation writing and supervision in completing a PhD in both public and private universities in Kenya? What are the economic impacts of COVID-19 on dissertation writing and supervision in completing a PhD in both public and private universities in Kenya? The study found that the pandemic affected students’ completion rates as it affected both the students, supervisors and the universities. While this crisis had profoundly disruptive educational implications, it did not begin with predetermined outcomes. The nature of communities’ and nations’ collective and systemic responses to these disruptions determined the extent to which people were affected by them.

Medical-veterinary and economic importance of the Tabanidae family

The Tabanidae females of these insects present several adaptations related to the hematophagous habit, which increase their potential as vectors of infectious agents. Among these adaptations, anautogeny, telmophagy, the large volume of blood meal, the longtime of blood meal, and the interruption of feeding are highlighted. It is emphasized that these insects are important because, in addition to bothering humans by attacking them in search of a blood meal, they are potential transmitters of diseases to animals and humans, being capable of mechanically transporting viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and helminths, through the fact that these pathogens adhere to the structure of the proboscis. The objective of the article is to verify the medical-veterinary and economic importance of the Tabanidae family. The methodological basis of the present work consists of bibliographical research of scientific articles published in national and international academic journals classified by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). Document analysis was used as a data collection method to gather information from theoretical books, these banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and digital platforms: The search criterion for articles was to prioritize articles that dealt with the topic.

Using Biological Control as a Tool for Sustainability

The basic premise of biological control is to control agricultural pests and disease-transmitting insects using their natural enemies, which can be other beneficial insects, predators, parasitoids, and microorganisms such as fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Biological control has been growing exponentially in recent years, and the main reason for some countries is the demand for chemical-free food. Biological control of harmful insects is an environmentally correct technique and should be considered as a tool in Integrated Pest Management or organic farming systems. The objective of this practice is to control and even eliminate agricultural pests without leaving residues or causing damage to plants and the environment. Biological control is also essential when conventional methods do not work properly. This review aims to verify the biological control strategies of pests and diseases in agriculture, given the need for more efficient, sustainable, and profitable methods for their control. To achieve the main objective, we used the qualitative method based on research and analysis of theoretical books, theses banks, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents, and digital platforms.

Description of the Family Argidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera)

Sawflies, horntails, and wood wasps Argidae sawflies Argidae occur in all tropical, temperate, and subarctic regions of the world. Even though worldwide in distribution, the fauna of the Neotropical Region is the most diverse. Representatives of all subfamilies, except the Australian Zenarginae, occur in the neotropics. In the number of genera (32) and numbers of species (over 350), the Neotropical fauna includes more than twice the number of genera and nearly half the species as the rest of the world’s regions. Adults of Argidae some species can be found on various types of flowers, especially the larger species belonging to the Arginae subfamily. In this case, the eggs are laid in groups on the surface of a leaf, and the female takes care of the eggs and young larvae. The larvae feed in groups, presenting defined feeding patterns, and, when they complete their development, weave cocoons in groups protected by a common cover. The purpose of the manuscript is to describe the Biology, Ecology, behavior, damage, and taxonomy of the family Argidae (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Symphita). The articles were published from 1979 to 2023 in indexed scientific research, book scientific chapters, theses banks, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents, and even in general journals when considered of interest and digital platforms: Universidade de São Paulo, Scielo Universidade de Brasilia, WaspWeb, Biological Abstract, and ResearchGate. The main terms used were: Hymenoptera, Symphyta, Woodwasps, Horntails, Sawflies, and Tenthredinoidea. In summary, basically, the following steps of analysis were covered: · Exhaustive reading of each article aiming at a global understanding and discovery of the approach used by its authors; · Identification of the central ideas of each article; · Classification of ideas around nuclei of meaning; · Comparison between the different nuclei of meaning present in the studied articles; · Classification of the nuclei of meaning in broader axes (themes) around which the authors' discussions revolved and Writing of the interpretative syntheses of the theme.

Study of the family Cimbicidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera)

Larvae of Cimbex quadrimaculata (Müller 1766) (Hymenoptera: Cimbicidae) are grayish and black markings. The larval head capsule is black in the first larval instars. It is a pest mainly on almonds but also feeds on apricots, peaches, pears, and cherries in Turkey. There has been no documentation of this species causing severe defoliation in areas where it has been observed. Observations were continued in the orchard until the end. The larvae fed on the edges of the leaves by consuming the whole leaf laminae or leaving only the midrib. The aim of this mini-review was to describe the distribution, life history, and biology of the almond sawfly (Hymenoptera Cimbicidae). Indexed articles, scientific book chapters, theses databases, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents, and academic and scientific journals are available online ResearchGate, HAL, SSRN, Scielo, and Qeios were used. The present work uses the reference of bibliographical research, understood as the act of inquiring and seeking information on a certain subject, through a survey carried out in national and foreign databases, with the objective of detecting what exists of consensus or controversy.

Family Nycteribidae (Insecta: Diptera)

Family Nycteribidae bat flies have an interesting reproductive method known as viviparous puparity, in which eggs are fertilized internally and all three larval stages develop within the female. Larvae are nourished by intrauterine glands. Gravid female flies deposit a single, 3rd instar larva on the roosting substrate. The larva then immediately forms a puparium, and following approx. After 3–4 weeks of development, the adult fly emerges to locate and colonize a host. The aim of this article was to investigate the morphological, bioecological, and systematic characteristics of the family Nycteribidae (Insecta: Diptera). For the review, we used indexed articles, scientific book chapters, theses databases, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents, and academic and scientific journals available online ResearchGate, HAL SSRN, Scielo, and Qeios. The present work uses the reference of bibliographical research, understood as the act of inquiring and seeking information on a certain subject, through a survey carried out in national and foreign databases, with the objective of detecting what exists of consensus or controversy.

Family Gasteruptiidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) as parasitoids of arthropods (Arthropoda: Insecta)

The Gasteruptiidae are also hyperparasitic species. The “Parasitica” lay their eggs in other juvenile insects (eggs, larvae, or pupae) and the larvae hatch and develop feeding on the host. Many of these parasitoid wasps are used as biological control of agricultural pests. Larvae are predators/parasitoids and/or kleptoparasites. Their hosts are bees and wasps of the Colletidae, Megachilidae, Sphecidae, Apidae, Anthophoridae, and Vespidae families. When females oviposit their eggs on or nearby host larvae with the help of an ovipositor not present in males, they hatch into Gasteruption, Latreille, 1796, larvae which proceed to consume the host's larvae. The aim of this article was to describe the bionomy and classification of the family Gasteruptiidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera). Indexed articles, scientific book chapters, theses databases, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents, and academic and scientific journals are available online ResearchGate, HAL SSRN, Scielo, and Qeios were used. The present work uses the reference of bibliographical research, understood as the act of inquiring and seeking information on a certain subject, through a survey carried out in national and foreign databases, with the objective of detecting what exists of consensus or controversy.

The Jordanian society's perception of the media's role in shaping political awareness

The media varied and spread greatly in the last two decades; Where satellites spread according to the development of the technology of visual broadcasting, accompanied at the same time by the spread of radio and digital media with their various tools, and the decline of printed media, not only that, but also the spread of alternative media in exchange for the weakness and decline of official media in all its media and tools, which led to a rapid spread of political information and the diversity of its sources and means of transmission and the ability to monitor and control it. The study aimed to investigate the perception of Jordanian society groups of the role of the media in shaping political awareness through university dissertations. The study followed the descriptive, analytical, survey the media and documentary approaches as it was a desk theoretical study.
