Cultural Values in the Advertisements of Islamic and Commercial Insurance Companies: A Comparative Analytical Study of Social Media Advertisements
Get PDFObjective: This study aimed to compare advertisements for Islamic and commercial insurance companies regarding the cultural values used in their advertisements on social media sites like Instagram, X, and YouTube. Method: This study uses content analysis and comparative methods to analyze the content of 300 advertisements during the period of July 1 to September 30, 2023, the study conducted on the Islamic company in Yemen (United Insurance) and the commercial company in Egypt (Allianz). Results: The most important results showed that Allianz was more likely to use individual values, broad influence, avoidance of doubt, masculinity, and long termism, while United Insurance tended to adopt the values of collectivism, narrow influence, avoidance of doubt, masculinity, and short term more. United Insurance advertisements differ from those from Allianz in that they include many Islamic values, such as family, help, care, and humility; the latter focuses more on values of independence, freedom, excitement, and self-aggrandizement. The study also found statistically significant differences between the advertisements of United Insurance and Allianz in terms of the values of individualism versus collectivism, broad influence versus narrow influence, and masculinity versus femininity. These differences can be attributed to the difference in the type of company (Islamic/commercial). However, there were no differences between the advertisements of these companies in terms of the values of avoiding doubt versus accepting doubt, and long termism versus short term. Conclusions and recommendations: The study recommended identifying the cultural values that suit the consumers’ culture in each society targeted by these advertisements and the importance of companies and advertising agencies using appropriate cultural values.

Alterations of TNF-α and IL-8 Levels in Gingival Crevicular Fluid among Different Types of Smoking following Phase I Periodontal Therapy in Periodontitis Patients
Get PDFAim: The purpose of the current research was to evaluate the impacts of different smoking types on GCF levels of TNF-α & IL-8 after phase I periodontal therapy. The study compared between traditional cigarettes and heated tobacco products (HTPs) in contrast to non-smokers following non-surgical treatment of moderate periodontitis patients. Subjects & methods: Forty-five patients with moderate generalized chronic periodontitis had been enrolled in this research. They had been divided into 3 equal groups and received non-surgical periodontal treatment. Samples of gingival crevicular fluid had been collected from periodontal pockets at baseline & after six months. The collected samples had been analyzed for detection of 2 cytokines namely; Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) & interleukin 8 levels (IL-8). Results: Before therapy, traditional smokers showed the highest mean of the examined cytokines & non-smokers showed the least mean. After therapy, levels of inflammatory cytokines decreased in all groups. Non-smoker group showed the lowest level of the inflammatory cytokines followed by the HTPs smokers. Furthermore, traditional smokers revealed the highest level of inflammatory cytokines after 6 months. Conclusion: The current research found that different smoking types have different effects on the results of non-surgical treatment of periodontitis. When comparing the effects of HTPs & traditional cigarettes, HTPs have less impact on periodontal therapy, while traditional smoking has a significant impact
Evaluation of Glass Ionomer with Advanced Glass Hybrid Technology versus Resin Modified Glass Ionomer in Adult Patients with Carious Cervical Lesions after one year: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Get PDFAim: Compared the clinical performance by using Advanced Glass Hybrid technology glass ionomer (AGH) in cervical carious lesion, versus resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) according to modified USPHS criteria over one year. Materials and methods: An overall of 32 elevated carious index adult patients with at least one carious class V cavity on their posterior teeth had been split into 2 equal groups randomly based on the received restoration system. Two pairs of restorations were used, either; Equia Forte HT Fill (AGH) or Fuji II LC (RMGI), both materials were employed in accordance with the manufacturer\u27s guidelines. Fillings have been assessed at baseline, as well as following three-, six-months, and one-year utilizing Modified (USPHS) guidelines. Data were recorded and statistical analyzed. Results: There was nonsignificant variation across all the follow-up times for all tested outcomes according to the intragroup comparison within AGH. However, there were significant variations for peripheral adaptation, discoloration, as well as surface texture within RMGI between different follow-up periods. There was no significant variation in the overall success of both restorations, with the showing a success rate of 80% and 61.5% respectively. Conclusions: Both restorations showed similar clinical performance over a year, indicating their effectiveness in cervical restorations. AGH may offer advantages over RMGI in treating cervical carious lesions and may replace other recommended restoration systems for cervical carious class V restoration

The Relationship between Religion and the State “Islam and the Constitution as a Model”
Get PDFObjective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between religion and the state within its constitutional framework when constitutional texts include a specific religion for the state, which makes this - when applied legislatively - a thorny and ambiguous issue. Methodology: This study, through the descriptive analytical approach, examines the different forms of possible relations between religion and the state to develop democratic constitutions. Results: The study concluded several results, the most prominent of which is that considering Islam the official religion of the state involves respecting the rights of Muslims to practice their duties and organize their relationships and personal status, and not influencing other texts, some of which conflict with Sharia, such as equality between men and women, freedom of opinion and belief, freedom of assembly, and other rights. Recommendations: The study concluded several recommendations, the most important of which is the necessity of determining the mechanisms for interpreting constitutional texts in a decisive manner and setting clear determinants for the effects of constitutional texting on the state religion, the requirements for its application, and its position in relation to ordinary legislations
