Eine soziale Logik der Erkenntnis mit Fokus auf den abduktiven Schluss
Authors:   , Hassan Anuar
Published: October 2021

Laut C.S. Peirce ist der abduktive Schluss das einzige logische Verfahren, das in der Lage ist, neue Erkenntnisse einzuführen. Dieser funktioniert in etwa so, dass auf Basis eines bereits bestehenden, jedoch unbewusst verwendeten, Regel- bzw. Vorwissens etwas Neues, bislang Unbekanntes, generiert wird, indem eine Ähnlichkeitsrelation bzw. eine Differenz zwischen Alt und Neu erzeugt wird. Damit scheint bei der Abduktion das einsam handelnde und denkende Subjekt die zentrale Instanz der Entstehung des Neuen zu sein. Aus soziologischer Sicht von Interesse ist dabei, welche, hier zu unterstellende, tragende Rolle der soziale Austausch bei dieser Erkenntnisgenese überhaupt spielt, wenn, dem abduktiven Schluss zufolge, das monologisch handelnde Individuen über quasi „eingelagerte“ Erkenntnis-Instinkte, wie Peirce sagt, verfügt. Die Rolle des anderen im sozialen Austausch würde dadurch jedoch hinfällig oder zumindest randständig. Der logische Ausweg, um den anderen als konstitutiver Bestandteil der Erkenntnisgenese zu integrieren, besteht in der These, dass interagierende Individuen sich auf eine Art und Weise wechselseitig identisch sein müssen. Ähnlichkeitsbezüge herstellen zu können würde dadurch primär zu einem Produkt der Interindividualität und nicht zu jenem einzelner Individuen. Um diese These zu prüfen, werden in einem ersten Schritt Peirce’ Theorien zur Abduktion untersucht. Im Weiteren sollen aber auch soziologische Erkenntnistheorien und interdisziplinäre Ansätze, wie die der (Social) Neuroscience, auf die Möglichkeit einer interindividuellen Verquickung im Sinne des wechselseitig Identisch-Seins untersucht. In einem letzten Schritt wird die berechtigte Frage gestellt, wie denn überhaupt Erkenntnis erzeugt werden kann, wenn Individuen sich differenzlos identisch gegenüberstehen. Dabei wird die These vorgeschlagen, dass Differenz dadurch eingespielt wird, indem Subjekte sich nie dieselbe Raumzeitstelle teilen. Die am Individuum gebundene Fähigkeit, Unterschiede bzw. Ähnlichkeitsbezüge erkennen zu können (Abduktion), wird somit erst durch Praxis selbst möglich. Abschließend sollen durch forschungsübergreifende Überlegungen Konsequenzen aus diesen Thesen gezogen werden.
Haskap Preharvest Fruit Drop and Stop-drop Treatment Testing
Authors: Leisso Rachel , Jarrett Bridgid , Miller Zachariah
Published: October 2021

Haskap (Lonicera caerulea), also known as honeyberry, is a relatively new fruit crop in North America. To date, most academic activity and research in North America involving haskap has focused on cultivar development and health benefits, with relatively few field experiments providing information to guide field planning and harvest management for the recently released cultivars. In 2020, we documented preharvest fruit drop (PHFD) rates for 15 haskap cultivars planted in a randomized block design at our research center in western Montana with the aim of preliminarily determining whether certain cultivars may be prone to this phenomenon. Additionally, we evaluated two plant growth regulators (PGRs) to reduce PHFD in two cultivars previously observed to have high rates of PHFD. Results suggest cultivar-specific variations in PHFD near berry maturation. Because haskap harvest indices are not well-defined and may be cultivar-specific, we share our 1-year study results as preliminary information and as a call for further research. Cultivars Aurora, Boreal Blizzard, Borealis, Indigo Gem, Kapu, and Tana all had PHFD rates less than 12% of yield, where yield is the weight of berries lost to PHFD plus marketable yield and marketable yield is fruit remaining on the shrub at harvest. Cultivars Chito, Kawai, and Taka had the highest rates of PHFD, although marketable yields were still relatively high, especially for Kawai. We note that ease of fruit detachment is an important consideration in mechanical harvest, and this characteristic could be advantageous if managed appropriately. The PGRs evaluated (1-napthaleneacetic acid and aminoethoxyvinylglycine) did not influence PHFD rates; however, our study was limited by the sample size and by the lack of information regarding haskap abscission physiology. In summary, the haskap cultivars evaluated exhibited variable PHFD rates in the year of the study, and further research is needed to understand haskap fruit maturation, harvest indices, and abscission.

Abstract

Writing poetry is an activity to develop literary skills that requires a creative thinking process. Through writing poetry activities, students will be able to develop ideas, feelings, and thoughts to produce beautiful language symbols. Writing poetry is included in creative writing. In writing poetry, one cannot immediately write poetry but must go through several processes, one of which is continuous learning. One of the techniques used in learning to write new poetry is modeling techniques. This technique was chosen to assist students in learning to write poetry by using models in the form of poetry texts. With the existence of models and examples that can be imitated, it will be a new innovation in learning poetry and can help overcome students' difficulties in writing poetry.

Language as a means of communication can be realized in both spoken and written forms. Understanding the meaning and meaning of written language tends to be more complicated than spoken language. The use of language style with a specific purpose also contributes to the delivery of meaning to the interlocutor. This study discusses how language style and meaning in written language play a role in the communication of two parties. So that the written language that is often used in student and lecturer communication via chat becomes an interesting object of study to discuss. This research is a descriptive type with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through documentation and interviews and then analyzed using tabulation techniques based on literature references in the form of journal articles and books for the last fifteen years. The results showed that the language style used by students in chat was the conversational language with periodic, loose, and balanced sentence characteristics. The choice of words is in the form of standard Indonesian vocabulary with the addition of a metaphor which is influenced by the students' own ability in word choice. There is also the use of logat and certain regional languages in line with the familiarity of the lecturers and students concerned. However, in the meaning and understanding of the language, there is no problem because the context of communication between the two parties has never been far from the realm of academics and lectures. So that good communication is built and politeness in speaking and in written language is carried out properly.

The Malay nation has a very long history in the archipelago. Starting from the language that received the title of lingua franca, script, culture, to producing literature that contains cultural values that are so deep. Thus, the Malay language and its works are one of the cultural treasures of the archipelago. This study uses literature study method. The results of the study show that along with the development of the times, Malay literature is considered to have experienced a degradation of existence. This literature met a turning point and its reputation faded to be replaced by modern literature such as poetry and romance. Basically this happens not because of the literary entity, but because the next author or writer cannot give life or soul to every literature. One way to continue to revive and preserve Malay culture is through education in formal institutions. Unfortunately, in the current national education curriculum, the teaching of classical Malay literature is minimized. This makes the reputation of Malay literature dim and raises concerns about the loss of Malay culture in the archipelago.
Specialized meat semi-finished products for prevention of liver diseases
Authors: Boleshenko O. P. , Aslanova M. A. , Bero A. L.
Published: October 2021

Dietetic therapy plays an important role in prevention and treatment of non-communicable, alimentary-dependent diseases including the bile duct diseases and chronic liver injury. The medico-biological requirements for the composition and quality of specialized semi-finished products for prevention and treatment of liver diseases are formulated and formalized in the paper. Using the methods of the computer design, the recipe of the specialized minced meat semi-finished product from horse meat, which is nutrient adequate to specific features of nutrition of patients with liver diseases, was developed and optimized. The experimental recipe of minced semi-finished products consists of horse meat of the second grade, soy protein fiber, soy protein isolate, textured soy flour, milk thistle oil meal, chicken eggs, soybean oil, salt, onion, vitamins B1, B2 and E, magnesium and zinc salts. The biological value of the obtained product is characterized by the high indices of the amino acid balance (Cmin=0.99, σс =0.85, U=6.27) and fatty acid balance of lipids ((RLi) I = 1…3 = 0.9 and (RLi) I = 1…6 -0.77). The content of dietary fibers, vitamins B1 and B2 as well as mineral salts of magnesium and zinc in the semi-finished product corresponds to the medico-biological requirements. The effectiveness of the developed product was confirmed in the experiment of the laboratory mice with simulated liver cirrhosis. The results of the assessment on the laboratory animals show that the developed product positively influences the processes of metabolism in the mouse body. The coefficient of protein assimilation in the group of animals fed with the specialized product was 25% higher than in animals received the standard vivarium diet. The biochemical blood analysis showed that intake of the developed product reduced the content of bilirubin, cholesterol, AST and ALT in the animal body by 34.5%, 8.2%, 11.0% and 12.5%, respectively.
Studies of the content of optical isomers of amino acids in food

Published: October 2021

Food products undergo a wide range of chemical changes during their processing and storage. As a result of such reactions, both new chemical compounds and optical isomerization of compounds already present in the composition can be formed. The second case concerns the formation of D-enantiomers of amino acids from their L-forms. D-forms of amino acids not only have no biological value for the body, but also often have a negative effect on the human body due to the impossibility of metabolizing them and, as a consequence, their accumulation in the body. The aim of the work was to study the quantitative content of D-isomers of amino acids in milk that passed the ultra-pasteurization process and dairy products based on bacterial starter culture. The research results showed that in both cases of the considered technological methods, amino acid isomerization occurs. The highest degree of isomerization was observed in kefir samples relative to other samples. However, from the results obtained, it is not possible to estimate which amino acid is most susceptible to the racemization process, since different samples contained different D-isomers of amino acids. The smallest amount of D-isomers is found in milk that has not undergone any industrial processing. Studies have shown that technological processing of milk inevitably leads to the formation of D-isomers of amino acids, and this, in turn, at least reduces the nutritional and biological value of the product, which makes it necessary to conduct deeper studies in this direction to establish the most important factors in the process of racemization of amino acids in food products.
Relevance of self-control of blood glucose in the aspect of prevention of cardiovascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus
Authors: Trukhan D. I.
Published: October 2021

There is a clear link between diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It is known that cardiovascular diseases in patients with diabetes mellitus occur 2–5 times more often than in people without diabetes. It is cardiovascular outcomes that are the main cause of death in patients with diabetes mellitus in both men and women. Diabetes mellitus has a high risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, arterial hypertension and acute cerebrovascular accident, and patients with diabetes mellitus may experience painless acute myocardial infarction associated with the presence of autonomic cardiac neuropathy. Various rhythm disturbances are much more common in diabetes mellitus, including paroxysmal forms of atrial fibrillation, which increase the risk of death by 1.8–2 times. The leading factor in the development of vascular complications of diabetes mellitus is hyperglycemia. In addition, early glycemic disorders - impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glycemia - make a significant contribution to the increased risk of macrovascular complications. Improving glycemic control leads to a significant reduction in the risk of late macro- and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Glycated hemoglobin is the gold standard for monitoring glycemic control, but it does not provide complete information on daily and intraday changes in glucose levels. Regular self-monitoring of glucose levels is important in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in patients with diabetes mellitus. In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, all consensus documents and recommendations for the management of patients with diabetes indicate the need for regular monitoring of glucose levels. An important aspect of the technical impact on patients’ adherence to selfcontrol and diabetes therapy is the presence of a convenient communicative connection between the patient and the doctor, in particular, the possibility of contact remotely via a computer and a mobile phone. In conclusion, the possibilities of the new model of the line of blood glucose meters are considered.
Prediabetes. A new paradigm for early prevention of cardiovascular disease
Authors: Demidova T. Y. , Plakhotnyaya V. M.
Published: October 2021

This literature review focuses on the association of prediabetes with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, much attention has been paid to the study of prediabetes due to its extremely high prevalence and strong association with a high risk of developing serious complications that worsen the quality of kife of patients. Prediabetes is not only a metabolic condition with a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but also CVD and death from all causes. This association is true for both patients who do not yet have CVD and those with a history of CVD. Also during the COVID-19 pandemic, attention is drawn to the fact that people with prediabetes have a higher risk of a severe course of infection, complications and a worse prognosis of the disease. This is associated with hyperglycemia, the  presence of  chronic systemic inflammation of  a  low degree of  activity, impaired immune response mechanisms and a procoagulant state in patients with prediabetes, although these disorders are less developed than in patients with T2DM. Therefore, early screening of early disorders of normal metabolism. Since active early intervention at the stage of prediabetes helps to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes and CVD.
The recovery of endothelial function in novel coronavirus infection COVID-19 (review)
Authors: Roitman E. V.
Published: October 2021

Endothelial dysfunction is a  valued part in  the  pathogenesis of  many diseases and conditions including the  active phase of COVID-19 and postcovid syndrome. The review presents both the viral and autoimmune pathways for endothelial and glycocalyx lesions and the  clinical impacts of  such a  lesion in  comorbid patients. Both endothelium and glycocalyx affected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus are considered as the main goal for therapy in outpatient patients and patients with postcovid syndrome. The glycosaminoglycans belonged natural components of vascular wall seem appropriate pathogenetically in order to recovery the endothelial barrier. The review demonstrates the advantages and limitations of using sulodexide in patients with COVID-19. This article presents a clinical case of a patient with confirmed COVID-19 of moderate severity, with the presence of risk factors for thrombosis, who developed a post-covid syndrome, a heterogeneous symptom complex that developed after the acute phase of COVID-19 infection. The post-covid period was marked by symptoms of rapid fatigue, tachycardia, shortness of breath. By day 25-26, itching and red rash appeared, and there was moderate swelling of the shins and feet of both lower extremities. Taking into account the clinical picture and laboratory findings, a decision was made to cancel the previously prescribed low-molecularweight heparin and prescribe sulodexide at a dose of 500 LU 2 times a day for a course of 28 days. On the 4th-5th day after the  start of  treatment there was a  decrease in  the  area  of  skin  rash, cessation of  itching, almost complete disappearance of the cutaneous vascular pattern and reduction in the severity of edema. This clinical case demonstrates endothelial damage caused by COVID-19, which makes it advisable to use angioprotective drugs.

Published: October 2021

The use of rainwater is a reliable alternative for reducing clean water consumption and water bills. This study assessed the willingness of Haitians to invest in rainwater infrastructure (RWI). A questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions was used for this purpose. For closed-ended questions, ‘0’ and ‘1’ were used for negative and positive answers, respectively. Other numbers were used to encode the open-ended questions. The two-tailed Z-test was used to compare two proportions, where a result was statistically significant when the p-value was less than 0.05. Of 362 rainwater users, 81.2% used it for washing, bathing, cooking, flushing, and drinking. Approximately 73.4% of households with 1–3 people, compared with 84.0% of families with 4–6 people, used rainwater. Of all the respondents, 82.3% would invest in RWI if the government agreed to finance up to 50.0% of the project. More than 73.0% of respondents in each locality would invest in rainwater in RWI under the conditions previously mentioned. It is concluded that the implementation of RWI and decentralization of water systems would be welcomed by the rainwater users in Haiti, but the unwillingness of the Haitian government could be the main barrier to such a transition.

Published: October 2021

This study investigates the potential applicability of hen feather (HF) to remove methyl red (MR) dye from aqueous solution with the variation of experimental conditions: contact time (1–180 min), pH (4–8), initial dye concentration (5–50 mg/L) and adsorbent dose (3–25 g/L). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) evaluate the surface morphology and chemistry of HF, respectively. The maximum removal of MR by HF was 92% when the optimum conditions were initial MR dye concentration 5 mg/L, pH 4, adsorbent dose 7 g/L and 90 min equilibrium contact time. Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.98) was more suited than Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.96) for experimental data, and the highest monolayer adsorption capacity was 6.02 mg/g. The kinetics adsorption data fitted well to pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.999) and more than one process was involved during the adsorption mechanism but film diffusion was the potential rate-controlling step. The findings of the study show that HF is a very effective and low-cost adsorbent for removing MR dye from aqueous solutions.
Determinants of hand-hygiene practices in India: reflections from the 76th round National Sample Survey, 2018
Authors: Biswas Sonali Smriti , Karmakar Ranjan
Published: October 2021

This paper studies the differences and determinants of handwashing practices in India and identifies sections of the population with poor handwashing practices who are relatively more vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have used the data from the recent National Sample Survey (NSS, 76th round) for India (2018). Bivariate and logistic regression analyses have been performed to predict the determinants of handwashing practices across states and socio-economic groups. Levels of education of the household head, Usual Monthly Per Capita Expenditure (UMPCE) of the household, access to water (other than drinking water) resources and sanitation facilities, and the availability of water with soap in and around latrines are major socio-economic and demographic factors that impact handwashing practices. Higher access to principal sources of water for drinking and other purposes, access to bathrooms and latrines with soap, and the availability of water in or around latrines increase the likelihood of handwashing among the people. Universal handwashing across different sections of the population will be effective to prevent further infection. The available data help us to identify the vulnerable sections of the population which are towards the lower end of the handwashing compliance spectrum. The policymakers can outline specific planning and strategy implementation for them.
Hydraulic transients for a pipe line network of treated effluent rising main using SAP 2R
Authors: Hussain Ajmal , Mustafa Muhammad , Mohammad Azamathulla Hazi , Sadique M. R.
Published: October 2021

Hydraulic transients occur as a direct result of rapid variations of flow field in pressurized systems. The change in velocity from valve closures or pump operations causes pressure surges that are propagated away from the source throughout the pipeline. The associated pressure changes during a transient period are quite large and occur quickly (within a few seconds). It should also be noted that when the maximum pressures exceed the bar ratings (mechanical strength) of the piping material, failure can occur. Similarly, if the minimum pressure drops below the vapour pressure of the fluid, cavitation can occur. The purpose of the present study is to model and simulate the hydraulic transients in a pipeline network system of the treated effluent rising main of Mpophomeni sanitation scheme using SAP 2R. A total of five scenarios were simulated using different combinations. The simulation results show that the transient pressures in the pipeline exceeded the bar rating of the pipe where the bursts or cavitation may occur for the simulated scenario, but transient pressures were reduced to a safe limit after providing water hammer protection devices.

Our research goal was to examine energy and time parameters of electromagnetic environment created by mobile communication terminals in Crimea and to detect a relationship between morbidity with diseases of the circulatory system (DCS) among people living in the republic due to electromagnetic environment. Electromagnetic environment was determined as per energy flux density (EFD) at terminals, average daily electro- magnetic exposure (ADEE) and individual electromagnetic burden (IEB). Correlation analysis of all the obtained data was performed to detect possible correlations with diseases of the circulatory system. Measurements of electromagnetic environment created by terminals in the region during a period from March 2019 to February 2020 (4,204 measurements at points where people used mobile communications intensely) yielded the following results: average EFD value amounted to 1.43 ± 0.04 µWt/cm2; IEB, 117.80 ± 6.55 (µWt/cm 2)·min; ADEE, 60.56 ± 1.15 min. Electromagnetic environment parameters and prevalence of the most common DCS in Crimea were statistically proc- essed and the following authentic correlations were revealed: between overall morbidity with circulatory diseases and en- ergy (EFD (Тau=0.399; p < 0.01)) and integral (IEB (Тau=0.437; p < 0.01)) properties of electromagnetic radiation; be- tween overall morbidity with diseases that involved elevated blood pressure and IEB (Тau=0.377, p=0.01); between primary morbidity with diseases that involved elevated blood pressure and all electromagnetic radiation properties: EFD (Тau=0.304, p=0.04), IEB (Тau=0.342, p=0.02), and ADEE (Тau=0.299, p=0.04); between primary morbidity with cere- brovascular diseases (CVD) and ADEE (Тau=0.411, p < 0.01) as time property of the examined factor. Energy and time parameters of electromagnetic environment created by mobile communication terminals that have been measured in Crimea are authentically correlated with distribution of morbidity with circulatory diseases and exert their influence on a risk of probable growth in morbidity with these nosologies among people living in Crimea.

The paper focuses on examining peculiarities of risk factors causing cardiac infarction at a young age. Although car- diac infarction primarily occurs among patients older than 45, its frequency at a young age has been growing recently. Risk factors that cause cardiac infarction at a young and old age are quite different. Examining risk factors profiles in different age groups provides wider opportunities for implementing primary and secondary prevention strategies aimed at reducing frequency and negative outcomes of ischemic heart disease. 108 patients aged from 18 to 45 and 35 patients aged from 60 to 75 took part in the research; they all had confirmed cardiac infarction with or without rise in ST segment and were treated in a regional center for cardiovascular pathology treatment in a period from January 01, 2017 to January 01, 2019. Basic risk factors of cardiac infarction were assessed when a patient was admitted to a clinic for treatment. The research results indicate high prevalence of risk factors that could cause ischemic heart disease among young pa- tients. 92.2 % young patients have dyslipidemia, 70.2 % smoke, 68.5 have low physical activity, 68.2 % suffer from over- weight and obesity, 58.8 % have arterial hypertension, 7.4 % suffer from type II pancreatic diabetes, and disorders in toler- ance to carbohydrates was reveled in 15.7 % cases. Such factors as male sex (85.2 vs. 37.1 %, р=0,000), smoking (70.2 vs. 20.6 %, р=0.000) and burdened heredity as per early ischemic heart disease occurrence (54.6 vs. 16.0 %, р=0.001) were significantly more frequent among young patients than among older ones. Data obtained via the present research allowed creating risk factors profile for cardiac infarction associated with car- diac infarction occurrence at a young age; this profile included such factors as male sex, early ischemic heart disease occur- rence in family history, and smoking
MICHAEL KOHLHAAS: UMA BREVE ANÁLISE ATRAVÉS DA JUSTIÇA KELSENIANA
Authors: Lopes Matheus Rabello Fernandes
Published: October 2021

A presente resenha busca analisar primordialmente a conturbada relação entre o direito e a justiça trazida pela novela Michael Kohlhaas, do alemão Heinrich von Kleist. Por intermédio de uma investigação filosófica e política guiada majoritariamente por Hans Kelsen, mas contando também com referenciais de Jean-Jacques Rousseau, utilizaram-se exemplos trazidos pela obra para levantar luz sobre a visão de justiça trazida pelo protagonista e como ela se confrontaria com a teoria kelseniana, visto tratar-se de uma das maiores e mais aplicadas teorias e filosofias do direito da atualidade e diretamente relacionada, além de tudo, ao direito penal, uma das principais áreas de choque quando o tema da justiça individual e feita com as próprias mãos é trazido à tona. O protagonista da novela é, antes de tudo, um paladino da justiça pessoal, que encontra reflexo em diversos exemplos e discussões cotidianas.
The Tale of Two Epidemics: HIV/AIDS in Ghana and Namibia
Authors: Halasa-Rappel Yara A. , Gaumer Gary , Khatri Deepa , Hurley Clare L. , Jordan Monica , Nandakumer Allyala K.
Published: October 2021

Background:

In 2014, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) introduced the 90-90-90 goals to eliminate the AIDS epidemic. Namibia was the first African country to meet these goals.

Objective:

To construct a comparative historical narrative of international and government responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the two countries, to identify enabling and non-enabling factors key to mitigate the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Methods:

We conducted a desk review of public documents, peer-reviewed articles, and media reports to evaluate actions taken by Namibia and Ghana’s governments, donors, and the public and compared disease prevalence and expenditure from all sources.

Results:

Namibia’s progress is due to several factors: the initial shocking escalation of infection rates, seen by donors as a priority; the generalizability of the epidemic generated, which resulted in overwhelming public support for HIV/AIDS programs; and a strong health system with substantial donor investment, allowing for aggressive and early ramp up of ART. Modest donor support relative to the magnitude of the epidemic, a weak health care system, and widespread household cost-sharing are among the factors that diminished support for universal access to HIV treatment in Ghana.

Conclusion:

Four factors played a key role in Namibia’s success: the nature of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the government and international community's response to the epidemic, health system characteristics, and financing of HIV/AIDS services. Strengthening the health systems to support HIV/AIDS testing and care services, ensuring sustainable ART funding, empowering women, and investing in an efficient surveillance system to generate local data on HIV prevalence would assist in developing targeted programs and allocate resources to where they are needed most.

Published: October 2021

Each state in Malaysia interprets asnaf al gharimin differently due to the different ijtihad from the mufti. This study aims to analyze the practices of asnaf al gharimin based on Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS). Qualitative method based on interview is used in this article and supported by library research.The findings show that LZS has focused on four categories of debt to be given zakat assistance according to asnaf gharimin, including medical/ dialysis treatment assistance, life necessities assistance, management of the corpse without the heir, and debt association due to public concern.

DETERMINANTS OF PUBLIC ASSET VALUE FOR LAND PROPERTY: A STUDY IN THE CITY OF TANGERANG, INDONESIA
Authors: Puspitarini Intan , Devianto Irfan Rachmat
Published: October 2021

Public lands take a huge portion of the government balance sheet in many countries, necessitating the need to reevaluate public assets for accurate financial reports, informed decisions, and optimized performance in strategic asset management. This study aimed to determine how the land area, location, shape, road width, and distance to the CBD affect the value of public land. A quantitative method with multiple regression was used to analyze primary data collected from the Public Asset Revaluation Report in the City of Tangerang from 2017 to 2018. The subject was made of 62 plots of public land chosen through population sampling. The results showed that land area and distance to the CBD significantly and negatively affected the public property value, while the road width had a positive effect. However, the location and shape of the public land did not affect its value.
ENHANCING THE ACCURACY OF MALAYSIAN HOUSE PRICE FORECASTING: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON THE FORECASTING PERFORMANCE BETWEEN THE HEDONIC PRICE MODEL AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK MODEL
Authors: Sa’at Nurul Fazira , Adi Maimun Nurul Hana , Idris Nurul Hazrina
Published: October 2021

The Hedonic Price Model (HPM), a prominent model used in real estate appraisal and economics, has been argued to be marred with nonlinearity, multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity problems that affect the accuracy of price predictions. An alternative method called Artificial Neural Network Model (ANN) was identified as capable of addressing the shortcomings of HPM and produces superior predictive performance. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the forecasting performance between HPM and ANN using Malaysian housing transaction data from the period between 2009 to 2018, sourced from the Valuation and Property Service Department, Johor Bahru. The models’ performance was evaluated and compared based on their statistical and predictive performance. Results showed that ANN outperformed HPM in both statistical and predictive performance. This study benefits the expansion of academic and practical knowledge in enhancing the accuracy of house price forecasting.

Waqf land is a religious property that is provided as a charity act by a donor and placed under the jurisdiction of the State Islamic Religious Councils (SIRCs). The SIRCs are the sole trustees in charge of governing, managing, and developing these properties. SIRCs have been working to develop waqf lands through a variety of projects and ways that adhere to best practices and a sound management system. However, the waqf's potential for greater outcomes is yet to be optimised. This research has reviewed the literature of waqf land development approaches and practices in Malaysia and it has tabled the significant development approaches that can be implemented by the SIRC. These approaches and practices may overcome the issues and challenges faced by the SIRCs in developing waqf land.
THE GAP BETWEEN HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND AFFORDABLE HOUSE: A CHALLENGE FOR POLICY MAKERS
Authors: Azmi Najihah , Bujang Ahmad Ariffian
Published: October 2021

Much of the literature defines housing affordability as the relationship between household income and housing expenditure (housing costs). Affordable housing refers to the affordability of the household to own or rent the housing. Housing becomes unaffordable if the housing costs exceed the income of the household. Thus, the objective of this paper is to define the difference between housing affordability and an affordable house and to identify the factors influencing the gap between housing affordability and an affordable house. To achieve the objectives of this paper, 28 variables or factors have been identified. These variables or factors are then analysed by using the descriptive method of analysis. After analysing 28 identified variables or factors, the findings show that a high house price, a high monthly repayment, the type of property ownership and the land area either extremely or moderately influenced the gap between housing affordability and an affordable house.

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that allows software applications to be more accurate in its data predicting, as well as to predict current performance and improve for future data. This study reviews published articles with the application of machine learning techniques for price prediction and valuation. Authors seek to explore optimal solutions in predicting the property price indices, that will be beneficial to the policymakers in assessing the overall economic situation. This study also looks into the use of machine learning in property valuation towards identifying the best model in predicting property values based on its characteristics such as location, land size, number of rooms and others. A systematic review was conducted to review previous studies that imposed machine learning as statistical tool in predicting and valuing property prices. Articles on real estate price prediction and price valuation using machine learning techniques were observed using electronics database. The finding shows the increasing use of this method in the real estate field. The most successful machine learning algorithms used is the Random Forest that has better compatibility to the data situation.

Digital technologies have recently started to enter the construction industry, gradually changing how infrastructure, real estate and other built assets are designed, constructed, operated and maintained. Being among the least digitalized sectors, it is predicted that digital technologies will substantially increase the productivity, decrease the costs, and improve site safety of construction projects. Thus, the primary objective of this pilot study is to explore the usage of digital technologies for the 12 components of construction project management. A total of 32 respondents participated in the online survey. The results indicate that the usage of digital technologies was significantly higher in the management of scheduling, documenting, designing, and assigning costs. The aspects for digitalized safety, stakeholders, equipment, and materials are room for further improvement.

This research focuses on the particular aspect of residential building quality and aims to measure the relationship that affects houses prices in Klang. The researcher through the problem statement and literature review has noted that respondents have knowledge in measuring the quality of their own house, but measurement must be conducted on an empirical basis with evidence. The main research objectives were to identify residential building quality and to measure the residential building quality effect on houses prices. The sampling of the research was conducted on fifty houses, and the measurement was conducted with the help of Regression Analysis. The results obtained show a significant relationship between higher quality of residential buildings and higher prices that can be commanded. The findings also could help to improve the estimation of value for new and older houses in the sampled areas.

Modernization has created new impervious urban landscape contributed to major catastrophe. Urban drainage system incapable to convey the excess rainwater resulting in flash flood due to heavy rainfall. The combination of green roof on building have tremendously proved to control stormwater efficiently. This study is conducted to review the efficiency of intensive and extensive green roof in reducing urban storm water runoff. This study identifies characteristic of green roof that contributes to lessening urban storm water runoff. Data was collected based on rigorous literature reviews and analyzed using meta-analysis. Overall, findings revealed intensive green roof performed better in reducing storm water runoff compared to extensive green roof. Green roof performance increases as the depth of substrate increased. Origanum and Sedum plants are both highly effective for intensive and extensive green roofs. The performance of green roof reduces as degree of roof slope increased.

Published: October 2021

The paper examined technical, managerial and scale efficiencies scores of Malaysian Real Estate Investment Trust (M-REITs). A non-parametric approach of VRS-DEA examined the input and output variables to determine REIT efficiency. We examined their determinants using GLS regression in the second stage. On average, the M-REIT industry has faced technical inefficiency, that involves scale and managerial inefficiencies. This paper presents new estimates through discussion on return as REIT output. The empirical results indicate Islamic REITs exhibited higher efficiency scores than their counterparts. The results from GLS regression analysis suggest that efficient REITs are smaller in size with higher concentration in property sector and geographical area. Having examined these values, there is still some catching-up for the inefficient REITs in the sample to be more competitive to stay relevant in the global market.

Представлены результаты экспериментального исследования осцилляций магнитосопротивления в монокристалле HgSe с примесями кобальта низкой концентрации (<1 ат%). Обнаружено, что при таких концентрациях примесей (~1018 см-3) наблюдаются два вида магнитных осцилляций: осцилляции Шубникова-де-Гааза при низких температурах (T<10 K) и магнитофононные осцилляции при температурах (T>10 K). Первые из них обусловлены взаимодействием с магнитным полем внутри подзоны Ландау, а вторые --- взаимодействием с продольными оптическими фононами. Продемонстрированы различия в свойствах этих видов осцилляций. Сделаны предположения о возможном происхождении магнитофононных осцилляций в этих структурах. Ключевые слова: магнитофононные осцилляции, осцилляции ШдГ, оптические и акустические фононы.

Abstract
The specific features of the interaction of charged particles with polar optical phonons have been studied theoretically for quantum wells with the barriers that are asymmetric in their dielectric properties. It is shown that the interaction with interface phonon modes makes the greatest contribution in narrow quantum wells. The parameters of the electron-phonon interaction were found for the cases of different values of the phonon frequencies in the barrier materials. It turned out that a significant (by almost an order of magnitude) change in the parameters of the electron-phonon interaction can occur in such structures. This makes it possible, in principle, to trace the transition from weak to strong interactions in quantum wells of the same type but with different compositions of barrier materials. The conditions are found under which an enhancement of the electron-phonon interaction is possible in an asymmetric structure in comparison with a symmetric one with the barriers of the same composition.

The article describes electromagnetic and microwave properties of the polymer composite with the lithium spinel ferrite inclusion of composition Li0.33Fe2.29Zn0.21Mn0.17O4 in the frequency range 100 MHz - 7000 MHz. It is shown that samples with a mass fraction of ferrite 60, 80% have pronounced radio-absorbing properties, measured using the reflection coefficient on a metal plate (return losses). For a composite with 80% ferrite, the minimum return loss was -37.5 dB at 2.71 GHz with an absorption width at -10 dB of 3 GHz. High absorption characteristics are directly related to the use of ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TFE) as a binder, which is expressed in the combined action of the absorption mechanisms of the magnetic and ferroelectric phases.
