Abstract BackgroundThe use of tendon allografts for orthopedic repair has gained wide acceptance in recent years, most notably in anterior cruciate tendon reconstruction. Multiple studies support the use of tendon allografts and the benefits of its use are well accepted and understood. One of the important criteria of the use of tendon allografts is statistically similar histological and biomechanical properties to autographs. Five major scientific literature databases (Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, PloS ONE, Hindawi) and additional sources were used. ResultsThe objective of this systematic literature review is to investigate and categorize existing clamps used in the determination of the biomechanical properties (maximum load, maximum strength, modulus of elasticity, ultimate strain, stiffness) of tendons. Studies had to use an endurance test of tendons and clamps in detail. The database search and additional sources resulted in 274 records. 216 records eliminated during the screening for various reasons. The number of articles used in the final synthesis was 58. Search for publications dated between 1991 and Oct 31st, 2020. A variety of clamps for use during the endurance test of tendons were identified and categorized according to the temperature used during the measurement. The clamps are divided into three groups: room temperature, cooled or heated clamps.ConclusionsOn the basis of the systematic literature review, mechanical parameters determined by usage with cooled clamps proved to be more reliable than with those at room temperature and with heated clamps. The main advantage of the cooled clamps is that there is no limit to the type and length of the tendon. This study provides an overview of clamps and does not represent the modernity of any method.

Final Synthesis

Although stakeholders in China have begun promoting medical and public health data sharing, a large portion of data cannot flow freely across research teams and borders and be converted into “big data.” To identify the ethical challenges that are considered to hinder medical and public health data sharing, we performed a systematic literature review pertaining to medical and health data sharing in China. A total of 2959 unique records were retrieved through the database search, 61 of which were included in the final synthesis after full-text screening. This review provides an overview of the current ethical challenges and barriers involved in data sharing for healthcare purposes in China. Through the systematic review of evidence from peer-reviewed literature and dissertations, we identified barriers and ethical challenges grouped in a taxonomy of capacity building needs, balancing different stakeholders’ interests, scientific and social value, and the data subjects’ rights, public trust and engagement. Best practices and educational implications were suggested based on our findings.

Level Analysis

This paper presents a methodological framework for the systematic literature review of agricultural sustainability studies. The framework synthesizes all the available literature review criteria and introduces a two-level analysis facilitating systematization, data mining, and methodology analysis. The framework was implemented for the systematic literature review of 38 crop agricultural sustainability assessment studies at farm-level for the last decade. The investigation of the methodologies used is of particular importance since there are no standards or norms for the sustainability assessment of farming practices. The chronological analysis revealed that the scientific community’s interest in agricultural sustainability is increasing in the last three years. The most used methods include indicator-based tools, frameworks, and indexes, followed by multicriteria methods. In the reviewed studies, stakeholder participation is proved crucial in the determination of the level of sustainability. It should also be mentioned that combinational use of methodologies is often observed, thus a clear distinction of methodologies is not always possible.

Abstract: One of the most discussed issues in legal studies is the marriage minimum age regulation. This study aims to reveal the Maqashid Shari'ah conception in formulating the objectives of Islamic law regarding the determination of the age limit for marriage in Indonesia. Systematic literature review (SLR) was applied as the research approash, with literature study as data collection technique. The results of this paper indicate that the Maqashid Syari'ah conception on marital age limit is to achieve benefits and to reject harms, which can be seen in the following aspects: Firstly, marriage must be carried out at a mature age as a provision to navigate domestic life; secondly, determining the marriage minimum age is a strategic step to suppress early-agemarriage as one of divorce causes ; thirdly, the age limitation is in line with the protection of offspring principle (hifdz al-nasl) as an effort to prepare a family with strong descendants; fourthly, the age control becomes part of the development of community in term of psycologycal and sociological aspect. This research is expected to provide a broad understanding and encourage community’s legal awareness that the determination of marital age limitation has values that are relevant to the principles of Maqashid Syari'ah.Abstrak: Salah satu kajian hukum yang menyita banyak perhatian adalah pengaturan batas usia pernikahan. Penelitian ini hendak mengungkap konsepsi Maqashid Syari’ah dalam merumuskan tujuan hukum Islam berkenaan dengan penentuan batas usia pernikahan di Indonesia. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR), dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi kepustakaan. Hasil tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa konsepsi Maqashid Syari’ah mengenai hukum batas usia pernikahan bertolak dari tujuan meraih kemaslahatan dan menolak kemadharatan, yang dapat dilihat pada aspek berikut: Pertama, pernikahan harus dilakukan pada usia matang sebagai bekal me­ng­arungi kehidupan rumah tangga; Kedua, penentuan batas usia nikah merupakan langkah strategis dalam menekan terjadinya pernikahan dini sebagai salah satu penyebab perceraian; Ketiga, penentuan batas usia nikah sejalan dengan prinsip perlindungan ter­hadap keturunan (hifdz al-nasl) dalam upaya mempersiap­kan keluarga yang tidak mening­galkan keturunan yang lemah; keempat, penentuan batas usia nikah merupakan bagian dari upaya merespon perkembangan kondisi masyarakat dari sisi kematangan usia menikah berdasar­kan aspek psikologis dan sosiologis. Implikasi penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan pemahaman secara luas dan mendorong kesadaran hukum bagi masyarakat bahwa penentuan batas usia nikah memiliki nilai-nilai yang relevan dengan prinsip-prinsip Maqashid Syari’ah.
