RUANG INTERPERSONAL PENGGUNA TERKAIT AKTIVITAS IBADAH PADA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19 DI MASJID AGUNG AL-UKHUWWAH BANDUNG
Authors: Kevin Senjaya William , Astrina Fitria Indrarani Indri
Published: January 2024

Abstrak - Masjid merupakan sebuah ruang arsitektur yang sifatnya esensial, untuk mewadahi berbagai macam aktivitas ibadah bagi Umat Muslim. Aktivitas ibadah ini mengacu pada dalil-dalil Agama Islam yang sifatnya dogmatis dan kompleks. Tata cara dan laksana ibadah, baik itu salat maupun selain salat sudah tercantum di dalam Quran dan hadits. Seperti halnya, aktivitas-aktivitas ibadah yang dianjurkan secara berjemaah dan saling bersilaturahmi. Namun pada saat ini dunia sedang dihadapkan dengan realitas global, yaitu pandemi Covid-19 yang mengharuskan jemaah menjalankan protokol 6M. 

Situasi tersebut diindikasikan dapat menyebabkan pergeseran persepsi individu terhadap ruang pribadi mereka beraktivitas. Karena pada dasarnya arsitektur tidak selalu membahas wujud yang kasat dan teraba saja, melainkan ada ruang tiga dimensional yang justru tidak kasat dan tidak teraba. Ruang tiga dimensional ini berporos pada setiap pelaku arsitektur dan bersifat dinamis, tidak statis. Konsep inilah yang dinamakan ruang interpersonal, serta dijadikan sebagai objek formal dalam penelitian ini. 

Penelitian ini berangkat dari pengamatan pola aktivitas pengguna di Masjid Agung Al-Ukhuwwah Bandung pada masa pandemi Covid-19 yang terdiri atas dua kategori yaitu, aktivitas salat dan aktivitas selain salat. Proses pengamatan yang dilakukan dengan metode behavior mapping ini, merekam kegiatan pengguna sebelum, saat, dan sesudah salat Fardhu, salat Jumat, salat Tarawih, I’tikaf, serta kajian atau ceramah. Hasil dari rekaman ini, kemudian dijustifikasi oleh data matriks atau tabel kuesioner dan wawancara yang diolah dengan metode skala Likert. Kedua data ini yang akan menentukan bergeser atau tidaknya jarak ruang interpersonal pengguna ruang Masjid Agung Al-Ukhuwwah dalam menjalankan aktivitas ibadah di masa pandemi ini. 

Hasil analisis dilakukan dengan menjawab dua buah pertanyaan penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan, bahwa pada saat ini (periode omicron) pengguna cenderung kembali pada dogma agama. Jarak  interpersonal dominan pada semua aktitivitas ibadah adalah jarak pribadi atau personal. Pada intinya, saat ini (periode omicron) aktivitas salat tidak ada pergeseran ruang interpersonal masih tetap berada pada jarak pribadi atau personal, sedangkan aktivitas selain salat ada pergerseran ruang interpersonal secara mundur dari jarak sosial ke jarak pribadi atau personal. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menggali dan mengamati jarak antar individu terkait konsep ruang interpersonal berdasarkan pola-pola aktivitas ibadah pada masa pandemi ini. Selain itu, manfaat penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan pengetahuan baru mengenai ruang interpersonal yang diharapkan untuk mencapai tingkat privasi dan personal setiap individu yang menjalankan aktivitas ibadah di Masjid Agung Al-Ukhuwwah Bandung pada masa pandemi Covid-19.

An experimental study on alkali resistant glass fiber reinforced concrete
Authors: Zubaid Hamid , Ashuvendra Singh
Published: January 2024

Typical concrete has high compressive strength, low tensile strength, low resistance to cracks, and low elasticity. For tensile strength, concrete is strengthened by steel, but the tensile strength of concrete in itself does not improve. Alkaliresistant CEM-FIL glass fiber, a high tensile strength thin glass fiber material, is blended with a concrete mixture at a weight ratio of 0 to 3%. Specimen sample of concrete grade of M20, was developed and cast for post-testing. After seven and twenty-eight days, compression and flexural experiments were performed after the concrete was reinforced. Compared with the control specimen, we found a substantial improvement in compressive and flexural strength in the glass fiber reinforced sections after seven and twenty- eight days. By adding 3.0 percent glass fiber to the concrete, optimum results were achieved. Our analysis proposes reinforcing concrete with glass fiber with the ability to optimize concrete properties.

Authors: Qin Cuicui , Yu Qiliang , Zhang Wei
Published: January 2024

A good sound environment is essential in creating a harmonious and peaceful campus, improving students’learning outcomes, promoting physical and mental health, and creating a green and healthy campus. This study investigated the impact of new buildings on existing ones by optimizing the spacing between new buildings and the sound insulation structure of building enclosures. The results indicated that building 4 was affected by the noise from new building 1 and its surroundings, with a maximum outdoor daytime noise level reaching 69 dB, and the indoor background noise level in the least favorable classroom was 43.73 dB, less than 45 dB, which was within the acceptable range. It is recommended that the sound insulation design be improved in the planning of new teaching buildings. Besides, the surrounding traffic conditions should be improved, and the usage time of sports facilities should be scheduled appropriately to prevent the noise from sporting activities from affecting the classroom activities. The findings of this study provide valuable references for future architectural acoustics design and campus planning, contributing to the creation of peaceful and comfortable campus environments.

The success of the learning process greatly depends on the smooth functioning of its components. This study aims to shed light on the challenges faced by elementary school teachers when implementing teaching materials in the Indonesian language learning process. The research employs a descriptive design by utilizing quantitative methods, questionnaires as the research instruments. The questionnaires used are teacher challenges (14 items) and proficiencies questionnaires (13 items) on a Likert scale, which was presented using Google Forms and distributed through WhatsApp groups. The sample comprised 94 respondents, elementary school teachers from many regions in Sumatra, Indonesia. According to the research findings, it can be deduced that elementary school teachers encounter various difficulties when teaching Indonesian language. These challenges encompass the impact of the local or mother tongue on the learning process and the complexities associated with dynamic language development. Moreover, the study employed factor analysis to pinpoint four specific areas that teachers can enhance, as they significantly improve the obstacles they face. These factors consist of ensuring adequate learning resources, enabling teachers to develop teaching materials that align with the existing curriculum, enabling teachers to design teaching materials based on students' characteristics, and fostering the ability of teachers to establish a positive and captivating learning environment.
Gender Themes in Czech Books for Children of Younger School Age
Authors: Jirásek Ivo , Maceková Nikola
Published: January 2024

Children’s literature can become one of the means of shaping personal identity, including gender socialization. The main characters portrayed in a book can become a kind of gender role model. The study examines gender themes in Czech books for children of younger school age that have been awarded the Golden Ribbon and Magnesia Litera prizes. The selected books (n=15) were analysed through quantitative content analysis and qualitative thematic analysis. The main findings include the fact that 596 different characters (as well as 29 main characters among them) are represented from a position of gender imbalance (boys and men are represented twice as often as girls and women). In other similarly focused research, the gender imbalance in the number of literary heroes did not have an effect on readers' popularity or the impact of reading on readers, regardless of their gender self-identification. From the results obtained, therefore, we do not conclude on social discrimination, since from a gender perspective we do not encounter any erosion of respect for any individual.

Zonation Method for Efficient Training of Collaborative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Double Snake Game
Authors: Hadiyanto Marvin Yonathan , Harsono Budi , Karnadi Indra
Published: January 2024

This paper proposes a zonation method for training the two reinforcement learning agents. We demonstrate the method's effectiveness in the double snake game. The game consists of two snakes operating in a fully cooperative setting to maximize the score. The problem in this game can be related to real-world problems, namely, coordination in autonomous driving cars and the operation of collaborative mobile robots in warehouse applications. Here, we use a deep Q-network algorithm to train the two agents to play the double snake game collaboratively through a decentralized approach, where distinct state and reward functions are assigned to each agent. To improve training efficiency, we utilize the snake sensory data of the surrounding objects as the input state to reduce the neural network complexity. The obtained result show that the proposed approaches can be used to train collaborative multi-agent efficiently, especially in the limited computing resources and training time environment

The Manaki Brothers. The Chroniclers of the “Third” Europe
Authors: Guštin Maša
Published: January 2024

At the time of the birth of cinema at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, one more area was created on the cultural map of Europe, next to the West and the East. In the heart of this “third” Europe, under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, worked famous photographers of Wallachian origin, Janaki and Milton Manaki, their film work made them famous in the early 20th century as pioneers of “Balkan cinema”. Most of the films that have survived to this day were made in the Ottoman period. They are a testimony of everyday life as well as important events that influenced the course of the history of the region. The study of the life and work of the Manaki brothers seems to be dominated by the least important aspect, that is, the question of their origin and nationality. Their films are included in many national cinema discourses in the Balkans, from North Macedonia, through Greece, Romania, to Albania and Turkey. This article, representing a synthesis of brighter research, is, on the one hand, an attempt to organize (objective) knowledge about the lives and works of the Manaki brothers, and on the other hand, an in-depth introduction to their film work.
Documentary Films About Polish Transformation from State Socialism to Capitalism
Authors: Mazierska Ewa
Published: January 2024

This article discusses Polish documentary films made after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, till 2005. I focus on films concerning class issues, not least because the changes which happened in 1989 were as political as they were economic in their character, leading to creating a distinct class stratification: winners and losers. I examine here films made in the 1990s till the mid-2000s, as it can be argued that after this period, the transformation was completed. I focus on films concerning labour and labour relations, as this was the part of life which changed most after the fall of state socialism and affected ordinary people most profoundly, and class issues, more broadly. I am particularly interested in how the changes of the 1990s affected individual and group identities of Poles, especially identities pertaining to age, education and place of living.
History in Lithuanian Women’s Creative Documentaries: Critical and Personal Approach
Authors: Šukaitytė Renata
Published: January 2024

Over the last two decades, documentary has become an important tool of communication for Lithuanian women filmmakers since their number and visibility on national and international screens has grown significantly. Better gender balance in documentary-filmmaking noticeably increased the exposure to greater stylistic and thematic diversity, as well as paved the way for the new cinematic approaches to national and world history, politics, warfare, collective identity, and other issues traditionally assigned to men. This article examines creative documentaries directed by Giedrė Žickytė, Jūratė Samulionytė and Vilma Samulionytė, Martina Jablonskytė and Ramunė Rakauskaitė. First, it investigates how these films combine subjective, analytical, and critical approaches to examine and mediate complex phenomena in Lithuanian history. Second, it discusses how these women documentarists engage with the past and in what ways their approaches and languages differ from conventional historical documentaries.
Preserving Meaning and Context: A Study of Cultural Adaptation in the Translation of Arabic Proverbs
Authors: Subhan Subhan , Ghufron Zaki , Mufrodi Mufrodi , Alawiyyah Azizah
Published: January 2024

This research delves into the intricate dynamics of translating proverbs, aiming to ensure that the essence of the source language is accurately conveyed in the target language. Translating proverbs presents unique challenges due to the inherent cultural and contextual nuances embedded within them. To address this, employing culturally equivalent strategies becomes crucial in faithfully representing the intended meaning. The process of translating through culture is not merely a mechanical task; it serves as a bridge fostering a profound understanding between different cultures. This bridge facilitates the effective communication of proverbial messages in the target language, exemplified by the proverb "Qabla ar-rima tumlau al-kanain." A literal translation fails to capture its essence, but a cultural approach reveals its Indonesian equivalent: "sedia paying sebelum hujan." This stark contrast underscores the necessity of cultural adaptation to convey the intended message accurately. This qualitative study relies on data sourced from various references, such as "Al-Balaghah Al-Wadhihah" and "Al-Amtsal Al-Arabiyyah Wa Al-Amtsal Al-Amiyah: Muqaranah Dalaliyah" by Al-hamzawi. Proverbs are extracted, and the research applies content analysis and a cultural adaptation approach. The fusion of Arabic proverbs with Indonesian counterparts from works like Dipo Udi's "Kumpulan Peribahasa Indonesia" and the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture's "500 Pepatah" allows for a comprehensive analysis. The findings affirm that cultural adaptation effectively conveys proverbial messages. This adaptation involves substituting proverbs with culturally relevant expressions, ensuring a seamless integration into the cultural context of the target language. Ultimately, this research sheds light on the significance of cultural sensitivity in translating proverbs for a more nuanced and accurate representation of their intended meanings.

Published: January 2024

The objective of this study is to examine the government's communication strategies in building religious moderation in Tanjung Balai City. This research holds significance due to the historical prevalence of intolerance instances in the city of Tanjungbalai, earning it the reputation as one of the places with a high level of intolerance. Tanjung Balai possesses a rich historical heritage of local wisdom that might serve as a means to promote religious moderation within the community. This study employs a qualitative research methodology utilizing a phenomenological approach. The data collection techniques employed in this article are observation, interviews, and documentation. Then, the collected data will be analyzed. The obtained data will undergo analysis employing qualitative research methods.  The research findings indicate that the city of Tanjung Balai is currently rich in ethnic and religious diversity. This city possesses a distinctive cultural background due to the presence of multiple communities that still adhere to animism and dynamism. Local knowledge can be effectively utilized to combat intolerance by promoting unity and setting aside differences. Currently, the government has been advocating for the utilization of local knowledge as a means to achieve religious moderation. However, the extent of its effectiveness has not yet been measured. At this level, it is necessary for the government to actively collaborate and create synergy with the community in order to mitigate religious issues in the city of Tanjung Balai.

Published: January 2024

In this work, we have analyzed the presence of pharmaceutical compounds in the wastewater of a regional hospital in Vlora, Albania, during June 2020 and June 2021. For this analysis, we measured the concentration of 19 preselected pharmaceutical molecules in discharging water by direct sampling in the waters, and we investigated the presence of pharmaceuticals in the algae Ulva Lactuca. Chemical analysis has been conducted via liquid chromatography in tandem with mass spectrometry at a limit of quantization of 0.1 ng/L. It resulted that, from the ensemble of 19 pharmaceutical molecules consisting of antibiotics, analgesics, psychiatric drugs, and beta-blockers, the antibiotics were found at the highest concentration. The quantity of medical chemicals’ presence varies from 0.2 to 0.24 mg/L. Traces of pharmaceuticals are obtained from Ulva Lactucaalgae in effluent water next to the city treatment plant. The concentration for each of the 19 molecules considered in this work remains below 0.1 ng/L. Finally, the values of physicochemical parameters were found within the range reported by several studies for hospital influent waters, collected in different countries and for many years. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2023-04-03-03 Full Text: PDF
Evaluating Environmental Impacts with LCA to Achieve Carbon Neutral Societies
Authors: Požarnik Matej , Robič Mohar Lea , Kosi Danijel
Published: January 2024

This study investigated the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a manufacturing SME engaged in the metal processing industry. According to recent public tenders, LCA has a large influence in deciding whether to support a project. Even when the project describes only a part of the company's operations, LCA is mandatory. The impact of the advanced way of storing industrial gases and the inclusion of new technological equipment on environmental indicators was discussed. Input data was obtained from the company's management and the technical specifications of the new equipment. The LCA calculation was performed in the SimaPro software environment and in the ECOINVENT 3.8 database. The goal of this study was to show a positive impact of LCA even in the case of minor interventions by companies in their production processes, which do not include a comprehensive review of the company. The established practice of analyzing the life cycle of processes for the entire company represents, in the case of minor adaptations of processes, a non-rational treatment of factors that do not affect the improvement of environmental indicators. Carrying out more narrowly focused LCAs brings important information to the company about the rational inclusion of certain optional solutions at each production unit. In this way, the environmental aspect of the project is already included in the planning phase and does therefore not represent subsequently adopted decisions, which are taken simply to achieve the required standards in environmental areas. To help address these gaps, a sensitivity analysis is made on the influential input parameters, and their impact on the environmental parameters is shown. We compared the results before the company's investment (year x) and after the company's investment (year x1). The results show a great positive impact on the reduction of environmental indicators and confirm the applicability of LCA in companies that tend to improve them and achieve a carbon-neutral society. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2023-04-03-05 Full Text: PDF

Published: January 2024

Esse trabalho tem como objetivo investigar se o período do dia influencia no desempenho dos indivíduos numa bateriade TAF. A amostra foi composta por dez indivíduos de ambos os sexos (24,10±0,96 anos), que realizaram o TAF nos três períodos do dia: manhã, tarde e noite, em três dias não consecutivos no decorrer de uma semana. O TAF foi composto por cinco testes (teste de preensão manual, teste na barra fixa, teste de flexão abdominal, teste de impulsão horizontal e Shuttle-run) para homens e quatro testes para as mulheres, que não realizaram o teste de força na barra fixa. No primeiro dia da bateria de testes, eles foram submetidos a avaliação antropométrica e de composição corporal com bioimpedância. Em cada dia de avaliação, os participantes tiveram a temperatura corporal aferida antes de iniciar os testes e responderam à percepção subjetiva de esforço (PSE) após cada teste. Para a análise estatística foi utilizado a anova one-way com post-hoc de bonferroni para comparar as diferenças de performance ao longo dos três períodos do dia. Não foram encontradas diferença significativas (P>0,05) no desempenho entre os testes realizados, nem na PSE nas comparações entre os três períodos do dia. A temperatura corporal foi significativamente (P<0,01) menor no período da manhã (36,28±0,08 ºC) quando comparada ao período da tarde (36,54±0,69 ºC) e da noite (36,70±0,10ºC). Assim, é possível concluir que o período do dia não influência o desempenho de adultos jovens em uma bateria de TAF.

Published: January 2024

This study evaluated the protective effects of curcuminoids against cadmium-induced testicular injury in Albino rats. Male albino rats were divided into nine groups, group 1 (control), groups 2-4 received 120 mg/kg, 240 mg/kg, and 360 mg/kg curcuminoids daily for 28 days without testicular injury. Group 5 received 20 mg/kg cadmium chloride (CdCl2) solution every other day for 28 days (positive control), while group 6 received 20mg/kg CdCl2 + 240 mg/kg curcuminoids every other day for 28 days. Group 7 received 20mg/kg CdCl2 every other day for 28 days, then treated with 240 mg/kg for 14 days. Group 8 received 20 mg/kg CdCl2 solution every other day for 28 days, then treated with 240 mg curcuminoids for 28 days. Group 9 received 20 mg/kg CdCl2 solution every other day for 28 days and left to recover 28 days. Serum and seminal plasma malondialdehyde, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase were assayed using Spectrophotometry technique. Semen analysis was determined microscopically. Sperm motility and count were significantly reduced, acrosome defect and percent abnormal sperm morphology were increased among the positive control group when compared with negative control group (p<0.05). Serum GPX, GSH, and SOD, semen GPx , GSH and SOD were significantly reduced (p<0.001), while MDA was significantly increased (p<0.001) in CdCl2 administered rats than negative control. The supplementation of Curcumins resulted in the improvement of sperm quality indices in a dose-dependent manner. Curcumin supplementation may significantly reverse the adverse effects of cadmium chloride testicular injury.
A study of water depth on the growth and productivity of seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii
Authors: Kasnir Muhammad , Syarifuddin Syarifuddin , Nisaa Khairun
Published: January 2024

This study aims to investigate the impact of varying the depth of water on the growth and productivity of seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii. The study was carried out in the seas of Pallette. The research methodology used in this study incorporates three different planting depth treatments, specifically 1.5 meters, 3 meters, and 4 meters. In each treatment, 50 grams of Kappaphycus alvarezii seeds per bunch were used. The findings of this study indicate that seaweed cultivation at a depth of 1.5 m yields significantly favourable outcomes compared to the treatments conducted at depths of 3 m and 4 m, where growth is comparatively less optimal. This occurrence can be attributed to the diminished level of light penetration at such a depth. There is an inverse relationship between the depth of seaweed planting and the rate of weight gain. The optimal depth for seaweed cultivation for 42 days is 1.5 meters, with an average specific growth rate of 3% daily. On the contrary, the treatment carried out at a depth of 1.5 m showed the most substantial increase in biomass, averaging 122 g. Additionally, the maximum yield of seaweed was observed in the same treatment, precisely measuring 1,208 g/m2.

Especially in the Lake Toba area, apart from the PBKo pest, it turns out that attacks by the coffee leaf sucking pest Helopeltis sp. are also felt to be very important by farmers, because the presence of Helopeltis sp. This causes the coffee leaf shoots to develop brown spots, curl and eventually dry out and die (die back). The aim of the research was to study the symptoms of attacks and the intensity of Helopeltis sp. attacks on Arabica coffee plants in the Lake Toba area, North Tapanuli Regency. This research was carried out on people's coffee plantations in North Tapanuli Regency at an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level, from February to June 2023. On the Sigarar Utang variety Arabica coffee plantation with monoculture and polyculture planting patterns. The sample plants were determined to be 10% of the total plants at each observation location. Sampling of plant samples is determined using a zig zag line. The parameters observed were the intensity of attacks and the percentage of pest attacks. The results obtained by Helopeltis sp. sucking shoot pests have been known to attack coffee plants in North Tapanuli Regency with symptoms of attack. At the start of the attack, leaf spots are visible, brown, curly and eventually dry out, die back, then grow rosettes, namely shoots, new ones that are shortened tightly and do not develop. The intensity of attacks by Helopeltis sp. on smallholder coffee plantations in North Tapanuli Regency is quite varied, from light to heavy attacks with the intensity of shoot attacks ranging from 15.67% to 57.80%. Monoculture coffee plantations with protective plants, but no pruning, are locations with Helopeltis sp. attack levels in the heavy category with shoot attack intensity reaching 56.66%. The intercropping coffee plant cultivation system (polyculture) had a significant influence on the low intensity of Helopeltis sp. attacks, where tcount (8.921) > ttable (2.306).

Critical thinking disposition is a component of higher-order thinking skills required to meet 21st-century challenges. This research aimed to develop a Moodle-assisted Guided Inquiry model (GI-Moodle) for General Biology e-learning and to enhance university students' critical thinking disposition. Fenrich's instructional model was used in this development research. Meanwhile, a quasi-experimental study was conducted at the implementation stage. This study was carried out at the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, Undikma. The data were collected using validation sheets and the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory. Descriptive quantitative analysis and ANCOVA were done. The results revealed that: the general biology e-learning developed was reliable and valid; students' critical thinking disposition increased from the pretest to the posttest, where the GI-Moodle students achieved better than the WhatApp Group-assisted Guided Inquiry students (GI-WAG) and WhatApp Group-assisted Structured Inquiry students (SI-WAG); the implementation of GI-Moodle and GI-WAG E-learning did not have a significant effect, but it was significantly different compared to the SI-WAG class. In conclusion, GI-Moodle is a viable option for enhancing college students critical thinking disposition through General Biology e-learning. It can be a reference for development in other learning

Objective: To correlate the grades of hydronephrosis and the detection of urinary stones by ultrasound imaging. Study Design: Cross-sectional, Retrospective study. Setting: Watim General Hospital, Rawat. Period: Jan 1, 2023 and Mar 31, 2023. Material & Methods: All patients on whom a renal sonogram showed hydronephrosis and nephrolithiasis between Jan-Mar 2023 > 18 years of age and < 70 years of age were included. The data were obtained retrospectively from the ultrasound department records. All patients were scanned while lying flat on their backs. Data regarding hydronephrosis grades and the presence of nephrolithiasis was obtained. Results: There were 248 individuals with hydronephrosis due to nephrolithiasis whose ultrasounds were included in this investigation. All patients had urinary stones and as hydronephrosis progressed from grade 1 to 3, the detection rate of stones increased, before declining in grade 4. Patients with grade 3 hydronephrosis had four times the risk of having urinary stones as grade 4 patients (Odds Ratio = 5.675, 95% Confidence Interval [Cl]=3.345-4.648). Conclusion: The sensitivity of sonography to identify grades of hydronephrosis and identify their underlying causes is of diagnostic importance. Hydronephrosis is often brought on by kidney stones or ureteric calculi, and a higher grade should raise clinical suspicion for the presence of renal calculi.
