Abstract

Background (General): The nursing process (NP) is a systematic framework for delivering holistic, evidence-based, and patient-centered care, yet its consistent application remains limited in many clinical contexts. Background (Specific): In Iraq, nurses face systemic, organizational, and cultural barriers that compromise the effective use of the NP, despite its foundational role in nursing practice. Knowledge Gap: While prior studies have identified individual challenges, few have comprehensively examined barriers using mixed-method approaches that integrate both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. Aim: This study sought to identify and analyze the barriers hindering the implementation of the NP among nurses in Mosul through a sequential mixed-method design. Results: Quantitative findings from 500 nurses revealed that lack of knowledge and skills (78.4%), insufficient organizational support (86.2%), and inadequate training (77.0%) were major barriers, while qualitative interviews highlighted themes of poor interprofessional communication, cultural resistance to change, and resource shortages. Novelty: By combining statistical analysis with thematic insights, this research offers a multidimensional understanding of NP challenges, emphasizing the interplay between personal competencies and systemic constraints. Implications: The findings underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions in training, policy, and organizational support to strengthen NP implementation and improve patient outcomes in resource-limited healthcare systems. Highlights : Lack of knowledge, training, and organizational support are the main barriers. Mixed-methods approach reveals both statistical trends and thematic insights. Urgent need for targeted interventions to improve nursing practice and patient outcomes. Keywords: Nursing Process, Barriers, Organizational Support, Training, Patient Care

Abstract

General Background: The Madurese community places the kyai at the center of its religious and social structure, viewing them as authoritative figures whose influence extends into key life rituals such as marriage. Specific Background: In many cases, families in Madura appoint kyai as proxy guardians (wakil wali nikah), despite legal guardianship traditionally belonging to male relatives by lineage. This practice is deeply rooted in cultural and religious reverence. Knowledge Gap: However, limited scholarly attention has been paid to how this custom aligns with Islamic jurisprudence and local tradition (‘urf) within the framework of social hegemony. Aims: This study aims to analyze the kyai’s hegemonic role as proxy guardians of marriage from the perspective of ‘urf, examining how this practice gains legitimacy both socially and theologically. Results: The findings reveal that the appointment of kyai as marriage guardians is a form of voluntary hegemony grounded in communal trust and cultural continuity, deemed valid under Islamic law as long as it does not contradict Sharia principles and receives the consent of the biological guardian. Novelty: This research uniquely integrates Gramsci’s theory of hegemony with Islamic legal concepts to interpret a localized religious practice. Implications: It highlights the dynamic adaptability of Islamic law within indigenous traditions, illustrating the harmonious coexistence between ‘urf and Sharia in sustaining socio-religious cohesion in Madura. Highlights: The kyai holds religious and social authority legitimized by community trust. The practice of appointing kyai as marriage guardians aligns with valid ‘urf in Islamic law. Reflects harmonious integration of Islamic principles with Madurese cultural traditions. Keywords: Kyai, Marriage Guardian, ‘Urf, Hegemony

Abstract

(General Background) Contemporary Indonesian education often prioritizes cognitive achievement while neglecting moral and social integrity, leading to weakened communal values and fragmented social systems. (Specific Background) Traditional character education approaches remain individualistic and exam-oriented, offering limited strategies for cultivating honesty, tolerance, and empathy through social praxis. (Knowledge Gap) Although speech act theory conceptualizes language as action, it largely lacks practical application in community-based moral education within heterogeneous societies. (Aims) This study explores how speech act theory, integrated with social systems theory, can be operationalized through Sekolah Perjumpaan, a community-based model designed to rehabilitate social relations and foster collective character. (Results) Using qualitative case study methods—interviews, observations, and document analysis—the study found that Sekolah Perjumpaan aligns intentional states (thinking, feeling, desiring, willing) with speech acts (assertive, expressive, directive, commissive) to form sustained moral habits and social cohesion. (Novelty) The research introduces M. Husni Muadz’s innovative praxis that transforms speech act theory from abstract philosophy into an actionable pedagogical framework grounded in Indonesian socio-cultural contexts. (Implications) The findings position Sekolah Perjumpaan as a replicable model for community-based character education and social system rehabilitation, offering both theoretical advancement and policy relevance for national education reform. Highlights: Integrates speech act theory with social systems for moral education. Transforms language use into a tool for social rehabilitation. Offers a replicable community-based model for character development. Keywords: Speech Act Theory, Character Education, Social Systems, Community Learning, Sekolah Perjumpaan

Abstract

General Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are among the most severe complications of diabetes mellitus, often complicated by persistent infections that delay healing and increase morbidity. Specific Background: Chronic DFUs are associated with exaggerated inflammatory responses, where cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) play pivotal roles in tissue damage and impaired recovery. Knowledge Gap: Despite evidence linking cytokines to inflammation, their diagnostic and prognostic utility in monitoring infection severity and bacterial involvement in DFUs remains insufficiently explored. Aims: This study evaluated serum IL-1β and MCP-1 levels in diabetic patients with infected foot ulcers, examining associations with ulcer severity, gender, and microbial isolates. Results: Compared with healthy controls, diabetic patients exhibited significantly elevated IL-1β and MCP-1 levels, which strongly correlated with each other and increased with Wagner ulcer stage. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant bacterial isolate, followed by E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Gender-specific differences were observed, with males showing higher cytokine concentrations, while correlations were stronger among females. Novelty: The study demonstrates a clear link between pro-inflammatory cytokines and ulcer severity, highlighting their potential as biomarkers for disease monitoring. Implications: Incorporating IL-1β and MCP-1 assessments into clinical practice may improve early diagnosis, guide therapeutic strategies, and support personalized management of diabetic foot infections.Highlight : IL-1β and MCP-1 increase with ulcer severity as reliable biomarkers. Staphylococcus aureus dominates bacterial isolates in diabetic foot ulcers. Persistent inflammation delays proper wound healing.

Abstract

General Background: Amaranthus spinosus, a member of the Amaranthaceae family, has long been valued in culinary and medicinal traditions due to its diverse bioactive compounds. Specific Background: Previous studies have highlighted its phenolic content and antioxidant potential, yet limited research has compared solvent efficiency in extracting these compounds. Knowledge Gap: The influence of solvent polarity on phytochemical diversity and antioxidant activity of A. spinosus seeds remains underexplored. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition and antioxidant capacity of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of A. spinosus seeds. Results: Both extracts contained polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and saponins, though glycosides were exclusive to the aqueous extract, while carotenoids and cardiac glycosides were unique to the alcoholic extract. Antioxidant assays revealed stronger radical scavenging activity in the alcoholic extract (88%) than in the aqueous extract (75%), though both were below the ascorbic acid standard. Novelty: By demonstrating solvent-specific extraction patterns, this study underscores alcohol as a superior medium for isolating antioxidant constituents in A. spinosus seeds. Implications: These findings validate the traditional use of A. spinosus and suggest its potential application as a natural antioxidant in pharmaceutical and food industries Highlights: Alcoholic extract showed higher antioxidant capacity (88%) than aqueous (75%). Solvent choice influenced phytochemical diversity and yield. Supports traditional medicinal use and potential food/pharma applications. Keywords: Amaranthus spinosus, Phytochemicals, Antioxidant Activity, Solvent Extraction, Bioactive Compounds
