A critical study of Tafsir Al-Manar (interpretation of the Holy Quran) regarding the miracles of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) and Prophet Moses (PBUH)
Get PDFThe role of Intellect or Aql in the interpretation of the Holy Quran has been greatly considered by Islamic scholars through history. Some past and contemporary scholars have attempted to interpret the Quran using reason, such as Tafsir Al-Manar (the interpretation of the Holy Quran) written by Mohammad Rashid Rida. Since the perception of Muhammad Rashid Rida and his teacher Muhammad Abduh regarding the prophets’ miracles are different from many commentators, it is important to examine Al-Manar’s interpretive concerning the miracles of prophets including Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and Prophet Moses (AS). This article examines Tafsir Al-Manar with a descriptive-analytical method in order to assess the accuracy of Muhammad Abduh’s and Rashid Rida’s comments. In examining Mohammad Rashid Rida’s point of view, we found that his rational interpretations are inconsistent with the Quran’s appearance, Shiite and Sunni commentators. The interpretations also lack attention to the purpose of the story. The denial in their interpretations indicate their improper use of a rational interpretative method, which otherwise, would not have led to the denial of the prophets’ miracles

Development and characterisation of methylphenidate hydrochloride loaded nanoparticles
Get PDFPreparation of Methylphenidate Hydrochloride nanoparticles was the goal of this study, which aimed to minimise the dosage frequency. Polymeric nanoparticles are gaining in popularity due to their inertness, solubility in non-toxic solvents, and ability to be used to create sustained-release dosage forms, among other characteristics. Melphenidate hydrochloride, a diuretic, is used to treat congestive heart failure, edoema, and renal failure among other conditions. Polymeric nanoparticles are one of the most effective platforms for long-term release because of their high stability. To put it another way, because its half-life (2.4 hours for children and 2.1 for adults) is short, methylphenidate hydrochloride is only effective for an extremely short period of time. This study's major focus is on nanoparticles. Eudragit RL 100 can be used as a release retardant. Formulation of Methylphenidate Hydrochloride and Eudragit RL 100 nanoparticles in order to provide long-term activity and hence boost bioavailability. The steady release of Methylphenidate Hydrochloride from nanoparticles increases therapeutic efficacy by maintaining a constant drug plasma concentration. The new formulation of methylphenidate hydrochloride sustained release proved successful in alleviating the problems associated with the old one
Real time multi feature performance analysis model for efficient prediction of student performance using neural networks
Get PDFThe problem of student performance analysis and prediction has been well studied. There exist number of approaches to handle this issue which would use variety of features like the involvement in sports, education, academic and others. However, they suffer to achieve higher performance in predicting the performance of the student. To handle this issue, an efficient real time multi feature Performance Analysis Model (MFPAM) is presented in this article. The model consider number of features include the number of sessions the student attended, the number of seminars appeared, number of tests cleared, number of webinars accessed, number of assignments submitted, number of queries produced, number of subjects cleared in each time stamp, number of sports played, number of videos visited, number of extracurricular activities appeared and so on. By analyzing each features in different time stamp of the academic carrier, the method predict the performance of the student. The logs of student have been trained with neural network and at the test phase, the neurons perform analysis on each factor to produce support on different performance factors. At the output layer, the neurons generate set of weight measures towards various class of performance. 
Immunotherapy in reducing clinical symptoms of children with house dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis
Get PDFAllergic rhinitis in children is mostly caused by house dust mites (HDM). It requires long-term therapy and decreases the quality of life of patients and their caregivers. Immunotherapy provides long-term improvement of clinical symptoms in children with allergic rhinitis. However, there are not many studies on the benefit of immunotherapy in children with allergic rhinitis in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the benefits of immunotherapy in reducing clinical symptoms in children with HDM-induced allergic rhinitis. A secondary data-based retrospective cohort study was conducted on HDM-induced allergic rhinitis children between 2015-2019 in Surabaya. The diagnosis of HDM-induced allergic rhinitis was established from typical allergic symptoms and a positive skin prick test result for HDM allergens. The improvement of clinical symptoms was assessed based on total symptom score (TSS), total medication score (TMS), and combination of symptom and medication score (CSMS) of the EAACI/WAO scoring. Observation on each score was carried out at the time of initial diagnosis and after 18 months of therapy. Mann-Whitney comparative analysis statistical test was for comparing immunotherapy group and non-immunotherapy group. TSS, TMS, and CSMS of the immunotherapy group were significantly lower (p<0.05) than in the non-immunotherapy group
