HERMENEUTIKA OTENTISITAS HADIS M. MUSTOFA AZAMI
No full textThis article discusses Azami criticism to Ignaz Gholziher and Joseph Schacht. The author tries to integrate the relations of hermeneutics as a solution to solve the issues of Hadith authenticity, and its interconnected to psychology, that Azami position when criticizing the Orientalists, Joseph Schacht, based on the flow of his thought of isnaad. Then in reviewing hermeneutics, in general there are three dominant element is the relationship between (author), Text (text) and readers (reader). So the results of this analysis, the author is orientalist, Joseph Schacht Ignaz Goldziher. The Text is orientalist books, thoughts, opinions or their theories, in this case Joseph Schacht. The reader is referred Azami. The discovery of the authors that position Azami criticism included are the internal and external criticism, namely external criticism Azami focus lies in criticism of the Orientalists, he criticized Joseph from isnaad. And internal criticism, plays on historiography, he criticized the use of sciences related to hadith, such as ‘Ilm Tadwin al-Hadith, ‘Ilm Rijal al-Hadith, ‘Ilm Jarh wa ta\u27dil, Ulum al-Hadith, ‘Ilm al-Fiqh.Dalam tulisan ini dikaji Kritik Azami terhadap kedua orientalis yaitu Ignaz Gholziher dan Joseph Schacht. Penulis mencoba mengintegrasikan bagaimana hubungan hermeneutika sebagai solusi untuk memecahkan isu-isu otentisitas Hadis, dan aplikasi interkoneksinya seperti ilmu psikologi, bahwa posisi Azami ketika mengkritik terhadap orientalis yaitu Joseph, ia melihat berdasarkan alur pemikiran isnadnya. Kemudian dalam mengkaji hermeneutika, secara garis besar ada tiga unsur yang dominan yaitu hubungan antara (author), teks (text) dan pembaca (reader). Maka hasil dari analisis ini, author adalah orientalis yaitu Joseph Schacht, Ignaz Goldziher yang mana textnya adalah buku-buku orientalis, pemikiran, pendapat atau teori orientalis dalam hal ini Joseph Schacht, yang dimaksud reader adalah Azami. Penemuan penulis bahwa posisi kritik Azami termasuk berada dalam kritik internal dan eksternal, yaitu fokus kritik eksternal Azami terletak pada kritik terhadap orientalis, ia mengkritik Joseph dari isnadnya. Dan kritik internal, berposisi pada historiografi, ia mengkritik menggunakan ilmu-ilmu yang berkaitan dengan hadis, seperti ilmu tadwin al-hadis, ilmu rijalul hadis, ilmu jar wata’dil, Ilmu Hadis, ilmu Fiqih
Kajian Hadis Mustafa Azami Sebagai Kerja Hermeneutika (Analisis Kajian Sanad dan Matan Hadis dalam Studies in Hadith Methodologi and Literature Karya Mustafa Azami)
No full textyang tak terelakkan dalam kajian hadis. Dari sini penting disadari bahwa hermeneutika bukan hal baru, apalagi “sesuatu” yang berbahaya bagi kajian Hadis. Istilah ini memang bukan dari pemikir Islam. Namun secara subtansi, hermeneutika sebagai kerja kritis atas hadis (sanad dan matan) telah melekat di kalangan muslim klasik dan modern-kontemporer. Tulisan ini ingin membuktikan bahwa Azami sekalipun, yang dikenal ‘anti’ barat, secara subtansi melakukan kerja hermeneutika. Metode kajian hadis Azami, baik sanad maupun matan akan ditarik dalam diskusi hermeneutika hadis, yang dalam hal ini penulis akan menggunakan tiga unsur dasar dalam wacana hermeneutika, yakni author (perawi), teks (hadis) dan reader (Azami). Artikel ini akan menjawan tentag bagaimana dan sejauhmana metode pemikiran hadis Mustafa Azami dapat diposisikan sebagai kerja hermeneutika, dalam hal ini sebagai kajian kritis atas sanad dan matan hadis? Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Azami dalam kerja hermeneutika-nya senantiasa mengungkap diskusi keorisinalitas perawi (sanad) dan kerasionalitas matan dengan melakukan metode perbandingan. Argumen nalar digunakan dalam konteks menelusuri seputar fakta perawi, dan menentukan masuk akal atau tidaknya kandungan matan hadi
Requirement for STAT3 and its target, TFCP2L1, in self-renewal of naïve pluripotent stem cells in vivo and in vitro.
No full textWe previously demonstrated gradual loss of epiblast during diapause in embryos lacking components of the LIF/IL6 receptor. Here, we explore the requirement for the downstream signalling transducer andactivator of transcription STAT3 and its target, TFCP2L1, in maintenance of naïve pluripotency. Unlike conventional markers, such as NANOG, which remains high in epiblast until implantation, both STAT3 and TFCP2L1 proteins decline during blastocyst expansion, but intensify in the embryonic region after induction of diapause, as observed visually and confirmed using our image-analysis pipeline, consistent with our previous transcriptional expression data. Embryos lacking STAT3 or TFCP2L1 underwent catastrophic loss of most of the inner cell mass during the first few days of diapause, indicating involvement of signals in addition to LIF/IL6 for sustaining naïve pluripotency in vivo. By blocking MEK/ERK signalling from the morula stage, we could derive embryonic stem cells with high efficiency from STAT3 null embryos, but not those lacking TFCP2L1, suggesting a hitherto unknown additional role for this essential STAT3 target in transition from embryo to embryonic stem cells in vitro.

Clinical Signs, Causes, and Risk Factors of Pediatric Kidney Stone Disease: A Hospital-Based Case-Control Study
No full textThe Effects of Environmental Modifications on Improving the Sleep Quality of the Elderly Hospitalized in the Cardiac Care Unit
No full textBackground: Sleep deprivation is a common problem among the elderly in the cardiac care unit (CCU). Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effects of environmental modifications on sleep quality improvement in these people. Methods: The study population included 60 elderly patients whose sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index with even domains. The environmental factors that can disturb sleep quality were determined via a questionnaire, including 13 questions on a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed in SPSS 22 software via indepen-dent sample student t-test and chi-square. Results: After environmental modifications, the total sleep quality scores changed from 11.8 to 5.96, indicating sleep quality im-provement. Before executing the environmental modifications, there were no significant correlations between sleep quality scores and demographic variables (sex, age, marital status, and economic status). However, after the modifications, there was a significant relationship between sleep quality and economic status (P = 0.024). Conclusions: Environmental factors can affect sleep quality in the elderly hospitalized in CCU. Therefore, it is possible to improve sleep quality in these individuals by modulating environmental conditions. © 2021, Author(s)

In recent years, and considering that CS has a strong antimicrobial potential, interest has been focused on antimicrobial activity of chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs). The main factors affecting the antibacterial activity of chitosan include molecular weight (MW) and concentration. In this regard, the aim of this study was to produce various MWs and concentrations of CS NPs, through the ionic gelation method, and investigate their potential anti-parasitic activity against tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain. Materials and methods: The MWs and degree of deacetylation of the CS were characterized using viscometric and acid–base titration methods, respectively. The efficacy of various MWs and concentrations of NPs was assessed by performing in vitro experiments for tachyzoites of T. gondii RH strain, such as MTT assay, scanning electron microscopy, bioassay in mice and PCR. In vivo experiment was carried out in BALB/c mice which were inoculated with tachyzoites of T. gondii RH strain and treated with various MWs of CS NPs. Results: The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that anti-Toxoplasma activity strengthened as the CS NPs concentration increased and the MW decreased. In vitro experiment showed 100% mortality of tachyzoites at 500 and 1,000 ppm concentrations of low molecular weight (LMW) CS NPs after 180 min and at 2,000 ppm after 120 min. Furthermore, a 100% mortality of tachyzoites was observed at 1,000 and 2,000 ppm concentrations of medium molecular weight (MMW) CS NPs and at 2,000 ppm concentration of high molecular weight (HMW) CS NPs after 180 min. Growth inhibition rates of tachyzoites in peritoneal exudates of mice receiving low, medium and high MWs of CS NPs were found to be 86%, 84% and 79% respectively, compared to those of mice in sulfadiazine treatment group (positive control). Conclusion: Various MWs of CS NPs exhibited great anti-Toxoplasma efficiency against tachyzoites of RH strain, with the greatest efficacy shown by LMW CS NPs in both experiments. It seems that CS NPs can be used as an alternative natural medicine in the treatment of toxoplasmosis. Keywords: chitosan nanoparticles, molecular weights, Toxoplasma gondii RH strain, degree of deacetylatio
