THE AUTHORITY OF THE AHAD HADITH IN AQIDAH (The Study of Nashirudin Al-Bani's Thought)
Authors: Zumaro Ahmad
Published: October 2022

Hadiths are divided into Mutawatir and Ahad. The Mutawatir refers to the Hadith of qot'ul al-wurud or the hadith that is believed to be true, while the Ahad refers to zhon al-wurud in which its authenticity is still questioned as the cornerstone of Islamic Aqidah (creed). The purpose of this study is to find out the thoughts of Al-Bani on the authority of the Ahad Hadith as the basis of Aqidah. The method used in this study was library research with a content analysis approach. The results of the study revealed that the Hadith al-Ahad can be employed as the foundation of Aqidah when it meets the requirements of the Hadith’s authenticity. The condition of the Hadith's authenticity is that the sanad (chain of narrators) must be continually reported by the narrators (Rowi), whose agreement upon a lie is impossible (tsiqoh), and who are exempt from illah and syadz characteristics. Ahad Hadith which has been investigated and proven to be authentic (shahih Hadith) will be classified as qothil al-wurud rather than zhon al-wurud. Thus, Ahad Hadith can be employed as a foundation for Aqidah. The narration of Ahad Hadith is considered bid'ah because it was not carried out by the Prophet SAW and his companions.

Published: October 2022

The main problem and spectrum that is always faced by Indonesian Islamic Higher Education (PTKI) is the low and not optimal quality of the three missions of higher education, namely education, research, and service. Various problems related to this are increasingly visible from the fact that the system's alignment, and policies to the institutional leadership structure seem to leave quality as an agenda, and programs are not prioritized. Therefore, the aspects and functions of quality management at PTKI are important. Improvement in Quality Management in PTKI should be oriented to build a quality culture in all components and elements of the academic community The most urgent quality culture for PTKI that must be done in meeting quality standards is to strengthen the system and meet the accreditation standards that have been required to achieve maximum results. In the context of accreditation, building quality must also strengthen the position in the sector of coordination, synchronization, and supervision between the entire academic community. The most urgent quality culture for PTKI that must be done in meeting quality standards is to strengthen the system and meet the accreditation standards that have been required to achieve maximum results. The transformation of seven criteria into 9 criteria in the accreditation system has consequences and consistency in the assessment aspect that leads to the outcomes (achievements of the process and usefulness) that have been passed by PTKI with various implementations based on its quality standards/guidelines. This research uses qualitative methods that are descriptive-analytical and seeks to analyze how the supporting factors of quality culture exist PTKI. This study uses a qualitative method that is descriptive-analytical and seeks to analyze how the factors supporting the quality culture in PTKI.

En el proceso de confección de una prótesis, la adecuada selección de los dientes artificiales es sin duda un paso clave para el éxito del tratamiento, no solo por la alta demanda estética que exigen nuestros pacientes sino también por su funcionalidad y comportamiento a largo plazo. En la actualidad, podemos encontrar en el mercado una gran variedad de materiales, en lo que se refiere a la elaboración de dientes preformados para la confección de prótesis. Se han utilizado materiales como la porcelana y la resina acril-vinílica, siendo este último un líder indiscutible gracias a las propiedades estéticas y de resistencia, su unión química a la base y su costo reducido, frente a los grandes inconvenientes de los dientes de porcelana, tales como: la falta de unión química a la base por tanto una gran dificultad en la técnica, el ruido que provocan y el mayor costo económico que representan.(1) Si se comparan ambos materiales teniendo en cuenta las principales propiedades que deben cumplir los dientes artificiales, ambos materiales poseen buena capacidad de corte, pero en cuanto la capacidad de trituración, eficacia masticatoria, perpetuar la dimensión vertical y la relación céntrica, su acción estimuladora de la musculatura y tejidos blandos, estética, resistencia, indeformabilidad, estática cromática, no favorecer la formación de placa bacteriana y la producción de olores la porcelana ha presentado mejores propiedades frente al acrílico. (2,3) Pero su tendencia a la fractura, su difícil manejo y elevado costo, lo que ha hecho a lo largo de la historia que fuese desmarcada por el acrílico y este fuese sin duda el material de elección para la confección de dientes artificiales.
Fundamentos de estética odontológica
Authors: Rodriguez Chaparro David Osvaldo , Zamorano Arancibia Alejandro
Published: October 2022

El concepto de estética en odontología ha recibido una fuerte atención desde la aparición de materiales que fueron capaces de reproducir las propiedades ópticas de los tejidos que restauraban, es así como la aparición de las resinas acrílicas y luego de los composites, fue generando un cambio, tanto en las posibilidades que tenían los clínicos, como en las expectativas de los pacientes, que fueron aumentando cada vez mas. En este aspecto, recordemos que hace algunos años, una restauración metálica era perfectamente validada en el sector anterior y hoy en día es prácticamente inconcebible. Se hace necesario definir el concepto de estética y situarlo en el contexto de la odontología, si bien es cierto que tiene muchas definiciones, una de ellas podría ser que “es la ciencia que trata del conocimiento sensorial que llega a la atención de lo bello y se expresan las imágenes del arte” o que es “una teoría sobre el juicio basada en la experiencia”, para nosotros desde el punto de vista odontológico lo que nos interesa es definirla como la “capacidad para percibir lo bello”, si lo queremos llevar a una definición elemental para la odontología podríamos hablar de que es el proceso por el cual nosotros captamos un objeto a través de lo órganos de los sentidos y mediante un proceso interno realizamos un juicio que nos permite contrastar lo que captamos con nuestras experiencias previas y nuestro acerbo cultural para poder definirlo como un objeto bello.

Fundamental Components of Personalized Coaching Models for Faculty: Addressing Inequities in Learning Outcomes Data
Authors: Carlson Erika R.
Published: October 2022

To advance the progress of creating a more socially-just higher education landscape, student learning needs to be an institutional priority. The lack of disaggregating student learning outcomes assessment data to identify and eradicate existing equity gaps in learning continues to be problematic. However, providing faculty with data alone is not enough. It is essential that faculty also learn how to use the data. Implementing a personalized coaching model of professional development where faculty and specialized professional staff work in partnership is imperative to address this problem of practice. The findings suggest that a successful coaching model should utilize a coach internal to the academic institution, establish a collaborative partnership between faculty and coach built on trust, coaching sessions should be frequent and held in a comfortable, safe, and inclusive environment, and should obtain consistent support of senior administration communicated to the college-wide community.

Obesity is an abnormal condition characterized by an excessive increase in body fat, generally deposited in the subcutaneous tissue, around the organs, and sometimes infiltrated into the organs. Obesity occurs due to changes in lifestyle, for example, drinking a lot, smoking habits, consuming lots of fatty foods, consuming fast food (fast food) a lot, and low physical activity. The main factors causing central obesity are increased food intake and decreased energy expenditure. Physical activity is also associated with central obesity. It is known that regular physical exercise can lead to a significant decrease in body fat tissue. This is because physical exercise can increase fat-free tissue mass and reduce fat tissue mass.

Abstract
In Indonesia, the association between fatigue and predictors of fatigue has nearly never been studied, particularly in adult cancer patients. This research is part of a larger research project to predict the prevalence of fatigue in adult people with cancer. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between fatigue, respondent characteristics, and the performance scale among adult cancer patients in one-day care units. This study is a quantitative correlation investigation using a cross-sectional design with correlation and t-tests. Sixty-seven participants were selected from the medical records of adult cancer patients who met the criteria. Research findings indicated that there was no correlation between age, gender, type of cancer, ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) Performance Scale, and body mass index on the incidence of fatigue in adult cancer patients (Pvalue = 0.684; 0.977; 0.38; 0.224; 0.284), although there was a significant correlation between a previous fatigue and the occurrence of recent fatigue (Pvalue = 0.000). This study may be utilized as a basis for future studies on adult cancer patients experiencing fatigue in hospital settings.

The article shows that the improvement of technological processes of metallurgical production, which aims to improve the quality of metal structures, increase the yield of suitable product, stabilize its parameters, is not possible without a balanced accounting system of raw materials, semi-finished products and other cargo in all areas. In the conditions of fast-moving processes of mass continuous production with an extensive network of cargo flows, electronic-tensometric weighing complexes are becoming more and more common, which make it possible to fully automate the process of technological weighing, ensuring documented registration of its results, increasing the objectivity of weight information. The analysis of design features of lifting mechanisms of cranes became the basis for the development of proposals for the installation of the load-receiving unit of crane scales for automatic determination of the mass of liquid cast iron in the pouring-bucket section of the foundry shop. Based on the developed methodology and calculations of the parameters of the pressure base plates of the load-receiving unit, recommendations for optimizing the design of the plates, locations and number of sensors are issued. The data obtained as a result of the calculations and experimental studies confirm the validity of the hypothesis, which was the basis of the method of calculating the slab of the load-receiving unit, which was that the calculation of slabs in the form of a beam on two hinged supports in the same plane does not reproduce the real process of slab bending in the space that passes as a result of the loading of the load-receiving unit in the built-in crane scales. The aim of the work is to develop a new method for calculating the load bearing plates of crane scales, thanks to which it will be possible to determine the parameters of the stress-strain state of the load bearing plate under the influence of the main types of mechanical loads that affect the design of the weighing device in operation, which will lead to a decrease in the mass measurement error and thereby will optimize the cost of related materials in foundry technology and improve the quality of the final product.

The paper considers a method for developing a formula that allows one to determine the relationship between the geometric and kinematic parameters of a double-wishbone suspension of a car on its roll angle when cornering. The method for determining the formula is described in detail. Test verification models were built in the computer-aided design system to verify the results obtained. For the first time, mathematical dependencies were derived to determine the change in the roll angles of the car depending on the geometric parameters of the suspension, and the basic parameters of the car's movement. Calculations of the dependencies between the coordinates of the points of attachment of the suspension arms to the frame and the steering knuckle, respectively, on the roll angle of the car in the corner have been performed.

The article investigates the methods and means of measuring the operating characteristics of elec-tric generators, namely the output voltage, resistance, frequency, current and torque. The analysis of literature sources that characterize the structural elements and the principle of operation of synchro-nous generators is carried out. Methods of measuring the operating characteristics of electric genera-tors are studied. Mathematical models that describe the relationships between physical quantities that characterize the parameters of electric generators are considered. The estimation of modern direc-tions of development of means of measurement of torques of electric generators is carried out. Meth-ods of data processing and visualization obtained by primary devices are studied. The dependence of the torque of electric generators and their output parameters is studied. A block diagram of a digital measuring sensor is constructed, which shows the main components of a device for measuring torque using an inductive sensor. Based on research, a method for measuring torque using an inductive sensor has been proposed, which allows increasing the sensitivity of the measurement by improving the metrological characteris-tics of the measuring channel. This improvement is that the coils that change their inductance under the action of torsional load on the motor shaft are not affected by electromagnetic interference created by the generator during operation. Simulation of the electrical circuit using the proposed method al-lowed to obtain the attenuation coefficient of the in-phase signal 80 dB at an input signal frequency of 10 kHz, thus providing high sensitivity. This model was tested, which made it possible to obtain errors in the simulation in the operating mode. The standard deviation and the absolute measurement error are determined. The Matlab / Simulink modeling complex was used to process the measurement results and study the errors, which allowed visualizing the transient characteristics of the measuring signal and obtain a possible error.

Measurements of instantaneous frequencies and phases of non-stationary components of the multicomponent signals are actual in processing medical, radar, sonar, seismic, vibration, and speech signals. When we measure the parameters of multi-component non-stationary signals, it is a need to measure the instantaneous frequency and current phase of several non-stationary frequency-modulated signal components. In this article, estimates of the measurement accuracy of the specified parameters of the non-stationary signal components were obtained using the method of simulation modeling. Measurement methods based on the short-time Fourier transform and the proposed method with local adaptive matching filtering of signal components in the frequency domain in the time-sliding observation window were studied. Adjustment of matched filters is performed separately for each component of the signal, returning to the time domain and taking into account the filter settings in the previous time window. The simulation method is used for the signal model consisting of three components. The first two components are the frequency modulated harmonic ones and the last is harmonic with constant frequency. The amplitudes of components and additive Gaussian noise variance were variated to study the influence of signal-to-noise ratio on the accuracy of measurements. Estimates of the experimental standard deviation of instantaneous frequencies and current phase measurements were obtained by comparing them with their known dependencies. The frequency laws of non-stationary signal components were chosen to be harmonic, which also allowed us to evaluate the influence of the nonlinearity of the instantaneous frequency change on the measurement accuracy. The results of differential phase measurements between two measurement channels are obtained to illustrate the quality of such ones for multi-component non-stationary signals situations. The results of this study may be useful for the development of imaging methods in inverse synthetic aperture radars (ISAR) and interferometric ISAR.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF METHODS FOR DETECTION OF COUNTERFEITS OF DAIRY PRODUCTS

Published: October 2022

An analysis was made of the types and characteristics of the influence of counterfeit products on human health, the main sources of their toxicological danger, and the state of legislative and regulato-ry documents regarding the technical conditions and requirements for the quality of dairy products in Ukraine and other countries, and the existing laboratory methods for determining their quality and safety. The necessity of introducing requirements for the types of analyzes in Ukraine into the existing regulatory documentation in the form of technical conditions is considered. It is proposed to introduce a new method of analysis to identify vegetable fat in falsified milk fat substitutes. It is proposed to focus on the composition of the sterol fraction, which highly depends on the nature of the fat: animal or veg-etable origin when evaluating the test results of dairy products. If the content of only milk fat in the sterol fraction should be only cholesterol. It is absent in vegetable fats, but other sterols are present: brassicasterin, campasterin, stigmasterol, β-sterol and others. Thus, the falsification assessment of the fat component of dairy products is established by comparing the obtained ratios of the mass fractions of methyl esters of fatty acids or their amounts with well-studied average indicators. For the practice of laboratories, it is more appropriate to determine the Reichert-Meissl number, which is one of the constants of the milk fat and characterizes the content of low molecular weight wa-ter-soluble volatile fatty acids in 5 g of fat. If for milk fat this number is from 20 to 37, then for vegeta-ble fats the Reichert-Meissl number is from 0.3 to 2.5 for corn and respectively 6-9 for coconut, 4-7 for palm kernel, 0.1-1.5 for palm fats. It is also possible to use another constant – iodine value. It charac-terizes the content of unsaturated acids in fat and makes it possible to distinguish milk fat from vegeta-ble. In this case, use the ratio of iodine number and Reichert-Meissl number, which for milk fat is 2.5, and for vegetable fats from 90.8 (palm) to 754.2 (sunflower). This technique can be effectively used to detect counterfeits of dairy products.

The paper gives characteristic of the landscapes of the left slope of Sokolovа ravine of the southwestern exposition, the part of the water-shed plateau adjacent to it from the north be-tween the Aksai and Tuzlov rivers which are located to the south of the Klyuchevоy village. We have studied taxonomic levels, qualitatively differing from each other by landscape-forming factors, taking into account the degree of influ-ence of these individual factors and their dif-ferent correlations with each other on the growth of the grapevine plant, the yield of vineyards, the quality of the vineyard and vini-cultural products. Landscape-forming factors at the microrelief level are geology, relief, soil and groundwater. Obtaining the necessary land-scape-forming data was carried out by drilling the wells of the ground to a depth of up to 10 m with a morphological description of soil, geo-logical and hydrogeological profile, with taking soil and groundwater samples for chemical analysis, paying special attention to landscape-forming factors that may be limiting for laying vineyards and to those that create optimal agroecological conditions for vineyards.
Black Canada and why the archival logic of memory needs reform
Authors: Thompson Cheryl
Published: October 2022

The problem with many archives is that they are searchable only by supplementary metadata (anecdotal data not provided by the original source), rather than secondary metadata (descriptive information that covers dates, origin, history, and cross-referencing); information about a visual object is not always reliable, especially when it comes to Black Canadians. Supplementary metadata in Canadian archives are not classified by race or ethnicity, thus, the very structure of the archive erases from public memory the lived experiences of Black Canadians. Given the move toward digitization over the last fifteen years, the importance of the archive has become a topic of discussion. Since the public can now search through on-line collections, the need to protect and promote material archives has never been more important. This paper will explore the question of the archive-as-subject, rather than archive-as-source, through storytelling. Storytelling is one of the many cultural expressions that have connected Black populations. Using first-person narrative, I give examples from my ten-year-long experience working in Black Canadian archives to probe how the archive can move from its depository role to become a site where memories about Black Canadian experiences across time, space, and place are curated and narrated. What are the ethical challenges around this kind of reform?
Adapting the failure modes effect analysis (FMEA) for early detection of human factors concerns
Authors: Village Judy Lynn , Greig Michael , Neumann Patrick
Published: October 2022

As one of many initiatives underway in a collaborative action research project with a large manufacturer, this paper presents the development of a "human factors" failure modes effect analysis (HF-FMEA). FMEA is an engineering reliability tool that helps define, identify, prioritize and eliminate known or potential failures of a system, design or manufacturing assembly process, generally to optimize quality or systems safety for consumers. The goal of the HF-FMEA is to detect and minimize risk of injury for the operator who will assemble products, prior to design of an assembly line. Scoring procedures for "severity", "occurrence" and "detection" from a HF perspective are presented with examples. Embedding the HF-FMEA into software templates, and structuring a process for support and integration helps ensure its continued use. The process may be useful for other organizations with hand-intensive assemblies to optimize worker health together with assembly quality.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend of green logistics has been accelerating in the logistics industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in social interest in green logistics before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, based on keywords extracted from news articles. To this end, two periods were selected, pre-pandemic (2018-2019) and postpandemic (2020-2021). Text analysis and topic modeling were conducted for the news articles related to green logistics in each period. In order to collect the news articles, the Big Kinds database was used, and key topics for each period were derived by applying the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) technique, a topic modeling methodology. The derived key topics were further classified into subtopics such as storage, unloading, packaging, transportation/distribution, and corporate strategy/policy in relation to logistics by functions. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that in the post-pandemic period, interest in green logistics increased in the media, and there was a change in the tendency of use of specific keywords and topics. In addition, with the emergence of new topics related to green storage, it was suggested that the green storage field could become a new business model for green logistics.

Published: October 2022

This case study explores the effect of digital transformation (DT) strategies on creating a competitive advantage in healthcare organizations based on Porter’s (2008) five competitive forces. We develop a customer service value proposition model by analyzing individual customers' digital healthcare information in order to ascertain the effect of DT at hospitals. We focus on a healthcare provider for which DT motivated customers to participate in operational processes, thus positively influencing organizational competitiveness. The results indicate that DT-enabled competitive factors do contribute to the organization’s competitive advantage, and healthcare app service, data combination, algorithm differentiation, InsurTech product and service portfolio, and collaborative partners are especially important factors. These results can be used as guidelines by healthcare providers interested in implementing DT for improved competitiveness.
Environment-Conscious Consumer: Goodwill and Profit Growth
Authors:   The Korean Production And Operations Management Society, Yea Minyoung , Lee Sangjoon
Published: October 2022

We investigate conscious consumerism’s effect on a green packaging business strategy. Improving consumers’ environmental awareness increases eco-friendly packaging, thereby yielding greater profits despite the additional production costs. We use a duopoly model between firms using eco-friendly and non-eco-friendly packaging. Further, we analyze the model using Bertrand competition to investigate whether conscious consumer behavior affects market equilibrium and firms’ financial profits. We find that firms using (non-) eco-friendly packaging can have an equilibrium price once the market base of firms with non-eco-friendly packaged products is greater than the threshold level—irrespective of the environmental value attributed by the consumer. Moreover, we find that if a sufficient market base is secured, environmental management increases profit for firms using (non-)eco-friendly packaging. This study addresses how consumers’ environmental awareness is associated with pricing in market competition, thus enriching the existing literature on environmental problems and management strategies. Consumer behavior also contributes to practice by allowing firms to adequately deal with consumers’ green behavior, given the uptrend in consumers’ environmental awareness.

Published: October 2022

A new approach to optimize the design of a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHX) is developed via a genetic algorithm (GA) to get the optimal configuration from a performance point of view. The objective is to develop and test a model for optimizing the early design stage of the STHX and solve the design problem quickly. GA is implemented to maximize heat transfer rate while minimizing pressure drop. GA is applied to oil cooler type OKG 33/244, and the results are compared with the original data of the STHX. The simulation outcomes reveal that the STHX's operating performance has been improved, indicating that GA can be successfully employed for the design optimization of STHX from a performance standpoint. A maximum increase in the effectiveness achieves 57% using GA, while the achieved minimum increase is 47%. Furthermore, the average effectiveness of the heat exchanger is 55%, and the number of transfer units (NTU) has improved from 0.475319 to 1.825664 by using GA.

Authors: Saxena Rohini , Ansari J. A. , Kumar Mukesh
Published: October 2022

A novel optimization concept for modeling irregular-shaped patch antenna with high bandwidth and efficient radiation attributes is proposed in this paper, along with the ability to accomplish the design at a reduced computational and cost burden. A revolutionary computing perception is established with Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) and Quantum Based Delta Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO), now known as GSA-QPSO. The suggested model employed the GSA-QPSO algorithm strategically interfaced with a high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) software through a Microsoft Visual Basic script to enhance irregular-shaped antenna design while maintaining wide bandwidth with suitable radiation efficiency over the target bandwidth region. The optimally designed microstrip patch antenna is fabricated on an FR-4 substrate with a surface area of 30×30×1.6 mm 3 . The evaluated outcome shows 96 % supreme radiation efficacy at 2.4 GHz whereas overall effectiveness is above 84% over the entire frequency range, with a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern. In terms of impedance bandwidth, the suggested antenna offers 126.6 % over the operational frequency range from 2.34 GHz to 10.44 GHz. Fabrication and measurement results are also used to validate the simulated results. It exhibits the proficiency of the offered antenna design to be used for real-world wideband (WB) communication drives.

This shows the efficiency of deep learning techniques in identifying COVID-19.
Deep learning approach for Touchless Palmprint Recognition based on Alexnet and Fuzzy Support Vector Machine
Authors: Prakash Veigas John , Kumari M Sharmila
Published: October 2022

Due to stable and discriminative features, palmprint-based biometrics has been gaining popularity in recent years. Most of the traditional palmprint recognition systems are designed with a group of hand-crafted features that ignores some additional features. For tackling the problem described above, a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model inspired by Alex-net that learns the features from the ROI images and classifies using a fuzzy support vector machine is proposed. The output of the CNN is fed as input to the fuzzy Support vector machine. The CNN's receptive field aids in extracting the most discriminative features from the palmprint images, and Fuzzy SVM results in a robust classification. The experiments are conducted on popular contactless datasets such as IITD, POLYU2, Tongji, and CASIA databases.
