Blood component fractionation: Manual versus automatic procedures
No full textOver the last few years, quality system requirements have been introduced for blood components. The necessary compliance with standard productions will have a considerable impact on Blood Banks. The introduction of automated methods is the most satisfactory means to meet these requirements for blood component preparation. A new device has been developed to automate the fractionation of blood into components. We evaluated the efficacy of this instrument as compared to manual methods. A total of 218 units of blood have been collected, into several different commercial blood bag systems (77 into standard quadruple bag systems, 141 into bag systems with integrated in line filters), and used to evaluate the universality of the instrument. Whole blood units were processed using the Top/Top system and the Compomat G4 (Fresenius HemoCare). A separate program protocol was developed for each kind of bag. Use of the Compomat G4 resulted in a statistically significant (p<0.001) increase of the hemoglobin in filtered red cell concentrates (RCC) in comparison with the manual procedure, and a similar trend, even not statistically significant, has been observed for filtered RCC. Regardless of bag systems, we were able to observe a statistically significant increase of platelets in the platelet concentrates (PCs), when comparing automatic versus manual procedure. The automated procedure has been shown to be fast, and easy for the operators. This device reliably produces acceptable blood components, and has been shown adaptable to use with different blood bag systems. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

No full textOverview of Indonesian Islamic Education: A Social, Historical and Political Perspective
No full textThe aim of this study is to examine how the historical genealogy of Islamic educational tradition, particularly the tradition of teaching and learning, has contributed to the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. By drawing together in an analytic way a historically based description of the social and political circumstances surrounding Indonesian Islamic education, the study discusses some significant issues concerning the religious base, knowledge base, structural form, and the pedagogical approach of Indonesian Islamic education, all of which are important to the development of a modern form of Islamic education.
The argument of the thesis is that the existing values of the Islamic tradition in education, particularly evident in Madrasah schools, provide a valuable basis for further developing and reconstructing an effective Islamic education system in Indonesia. However, there is also a strong need to construct an Islamic education curriculum in Indonesia that can meet the challenge posed by the circumstances generally understood as 'modernity'. The quality of teaching and learning in the Madrasah are very much influenced by the quality of the wider Islamic education programme. Any change in the curriculum of Islamic education will thus have significant effects on the quality of the Madrasah schools in Indonesia. This thesis will thus conclude by suggesting some implications for further development of Islamic education that arise from the study.
This is a qualitative study using an historical genealogical approach to discover, understand and analyze the challenges currently facing Islamic education In Indonesia. The techniques for collecting data involved, primarily, a critical reading of historical and contemporary policy documents. Primary and secondary sources were also collected, studied and subjected to a critical reading in the production of this account of Indonesian Islamic education

No full textOne of the female phenomena which was authored by the authors short stories in Media Indonesia is the narrative of oppressed women. The purpose of this study is to explore the image of women in short stories in the Media Indonesia. This research is descriptive qualitative research that focuses on the image of women. The approach used in this research is the feminism approach. The data were analysis techniques using heuristic and hermeneutic techniques. The results of the study indicate that there are various negative treatments experienced by women. The author used the short stories as a representation of their images through the Media Indonesia daily. Women's image is manifested in the form of physical image, psychic, helpless, resigned to the situation, housewife, loyalty, child guard, domestic, husband's companion, and social
اختلاف الأصوليين في قاعدة (العبرة بما رواه الراوي لا برأيه) وأثره في فقه المناكحات
No full textThis study aimed to discuss kaidah AL-ʻIBROTU BIMÂ ROWÂHU AL-RÂWI LÂ BIRAʼYIH and explained the dissent of ushuliyyin on that kaidah then applied it to the context of fiqh munakahat. Based on the results of the study, the author concluded that the rajih opinion was jumhur ulama opinion, which said that the hadith excluded by the rawi was a hujjah. As for the opinion of the ulama hanafi, if the rawi opinion was different from the hadith that he narrated, then the hadith could not be used as hujjah and it became a weak opinion according to the arguments and the discussions that had been elaborated by the author in his study.
 
Association between Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage and disease phenotype in patients affected by systemic lupus erythematosus
No full textStaphylococcus aureus (SA) is a commensal bacterium representing one of the most important components of the skin microbiome, mostly isolated in the anterior nares. A higher rate of SA nasal colonization in patients affected by Wegener's granulomatosis and rheumatoid arthritis compared with healthy subjects (HS) has been described. No studies focusing on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are available. We aimed at analyzing the prevalence of SA nasal carriers in an SLE cohort and evaluating correlation between nasal colonization and clinical, laboratory and therapeutic features.
METHODS:
We enrolled 84 patients with SLE (number of male/female patients 6/78; mean age 41.3 ± 12.2 years, mean disease duration 142.1 ± 103.8 months) and 154 HS blood donors. Patients with SLE underwent a physical examination and the clinical/laboratory data were collected. All the patients with SLE and the HS received a nasal swab for SA isolation and identification.
RESULTS:
SA nasal colonization prevalence was 21.4 % in patients with SLE and 28.6 % in HS (P not significant). We analyzed patients with SLE according to the presence (n = 18, SA-positive SLE) or the absence (n = 66, SA-negative SLE) of nasal colonization. Renal involvement was significantly more frequent in SA-positive SLE (11.6 % vs 3.0 %; P = 0.0009). Moreover, the presence of anti-dsDNA, anti-Sm, anti-SSA, anti-SSB, anti-RNP antibodies was significantly higher in SA-positive SLE (P < 0.0001, P = 0.01, P = 0.008, P = 0.03, P = 0.03, respectively).
CONCLUSION:
SA colonization is a relatively frequent condition in patients with SLE, with a frequency similar to HS. The presence of SA seems associated with a peculiar SLE phenotype characterized by renal manifestations and autoantibody positivity, confirming the role of the microbiome in disease phenotype
