Muslim Ummah and its Disintegration in the Past: A Critical Analysis of the Tablighi Jamaat Perspective
Authors: Ali Kausar , Minxing Huang , Smith Andrew
Published: June 2024

One of the largest Islamic evangelical movements in the contemporary world, that is, the Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) has recently received the attention of many scholars both in Muslim and non-Muslim countries. So far, majority of the scholars have focused on its origin and rapid spread in countries around the world. Therefore, the current study aimed to answer an important question that scholars may have either overlooked or paid scant attention to until this day. The ideology of TJ has raised a certain question as to what were the various causes that led to the downfall of the Muslim Ummah (world community of Muslims) in the past? To investigate this issue, the researchers encountered many primary and secondary sources to reach a comprehensive understanding of TJ’s doctrine of ‘Islamic decline’. Resultantly, the study found that TJ’s belief regarding the decline of the Muslim Ummah is similar to that of the other religious groups in Pakistan, that is, deviating from the path of the Prophet Muhammad. According to Tablighi activists, the main purpose of the Prophet Muhammad was Dawah, and by neglecting the fundamental duty of Dawat-i-Tabligh (Tablighi evangelization), Muslims have constantly been on the path of decline. Moreover, Tablighi activists mention few specific factors behind the social, economic, and political backwardness of the Muslim nation. These factors include religiosity of ordinary Muslims, focusing on academia by Muslim scholars in the past, the concentration of Muslim’s ruling class on just collecting taxes and revenue from the masses, and the moral decline of common Muslims.
Origin of Islamophobia in Europe: A Case Study of Hungary
Authors: Apipudin  , Alatas Alwi
Published: June 2024

The attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) in 2001 proved to be a turning point in the relationship between Islam and the West. Subsequently, the United States (US) invaded Iraq to avenge the tragedy. The US called its militaristic venture into the Middle East as an "act against terror." This invasion triggered a political crisis in the Middle Eastern countries. This situation was further aggravated by the Arab Spring, which occurred in the Middle East in 2011. The Arab Spring created problems in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and Tunisia. Political instability in the Middle East has forced Arab people to immigrate to European countries. The increase in Arab immigrants in the early 21st century fueled Islamophobia in Europe. Hungary is one of the European countries that has accepted many Arab immigrants. This studydiscusses the relationship between the rise of Arab migration and the increase of Islamophobia in Europe, particularly in Hungary. A qualitative research approach was used to analyse various government and non-government reports and literature. This study argues that the increasing population of Arab immigrants in Europe has led to the emergence of right-wing political movements. These movemnets play a major role in carrying out Islamophobic propaganda in European  social and cultural life.
Epistemology of Tafsīr, Ta'wīl, and Hermeneutics: Towards an Integrative Approach
Authors: Supena Ilyas
Published: June 2024

The current research comparatively examines the three models tafsīr, ta’wīl, and hermeneutics for understanding/interpreting the Qur’ānic text.. It aims to explore the epistemological structure of tafsīr (interpretation), ta’wīl (explanation of inner meaning), and hermeneutics, dissect the strengths and weaknesses of each, and propose a creative synthesis between these three elements. By using the comparative method, this research found that tafsīr tends to have an objective ethic guided by a linguistic approach (dalālah luġawiyah). On the other hand, ta’wīl tends to prioritize subjective personalities based on an intuitive and rational approach. Meanwhile, hermeneutics prioritizes intersubjectivity using historical, sociological, and psychological approaches. The argument based on the source of knowledge of tafsīr is text, while according to ta’wīl it is the "inner experience". However, the source of knowledge for hermeneutics is the world of the text, author, and the reader. Due to their advantages and disadvantages, this research recommends using an integrated approach for understanding the text (al-Quran). Tafsīr is used to explore external aspects of the text (language). Hermeneutics helps to understand the reader's contemporary situation with all the prejudices, assessments, and traditions surrounding it. At the same time, ta’wīl is necessary to relate the results obtained to the methods of interpretation and hermeneutics. In this case, the task of ta’wīl is to find the "deepest meaning" that connects the objectivity of tafsīr and the subjectivity of hermeneutics. This "deepest meaning" can be a moral idea ʿillat al-ḥukm (ratio legit) or Sharia goals (maqāshid al-syarīʿah).
Iqbal's Spiritual Democracy and Habermas's Deliberative Democracy: A Comparative Study
Authors: Shahzad Asad , Muhammad Irfan
Published: June 2024

The current study is written in the context of the civilizational dialogue between the West and the Muslim world with reference to Jürgen Habermas and Muhammad Iqbal's political views. It explores the congruence and contrasts between Habermas's discourse theory of democracy or deliberative democracy and Iqbal's theory of spiritual democracy. This research strives to find out the extent to which the core values of Habermas's theory and that of Iqbal’s are compatible. For Habermas, the core values of social order are liberty and equality, whereas Iqbal upholds liberty, equality, and solidarity. It has been investigated whether they both mean the same phenomena by the same terms or not. For Habermas and Iqbal, democracy is the best form of government but neither one is satisfied with the existing democratic practices. In principle, they accept democracy as the best political system. The research paper also sheds light on the historical and cultural influences that have shaped the political ideologies of both Habermas and Iqbal, considering the impact of Western Enlightenment ideals on Habermas and the role of Islamic jurisprudence and spirituality in shaping Iqbal's democratic theory. Through critical analysis, this study aims to deepen the understanding of complexities inherent in the dialogue between Western and Muslim civilizations and offers insights into potential avenues for collaboration in political theory and practice.
Local Civilization and Hadīth Traditions: Exploring Luqman Al-Hakim`s Conception of “Sparkling Pearls” in Latoa and its Relevance for Islamic Ethos Development
Authors: Idris Mahsyar , Soi Andi Bahri , Ali St Nurhayati , Yaumi Muhammad
Published: June 2024

This work explored the local wisdom values present within the classical manuscripts of Latoa and within Muhammadan tradition, employing descriptive qualitative and library approaches. A literature review was conducted to analyze primary data in the Latoa Classical Manuscript and Muhammadan Tradition in the Hadīh Books, and also to explore secondary data in various contemporary sources. Data were collected using note reading techniques with the assigning of codes. Each text was read in-depth and carefully categorized. This was followed by a reduction stage to select and sort the data. Finally, data were analysed through application of the Talcott Parsons’ theory on functionalism and structuralism. This study concluded that the values of local civilization contained in Luqman al-Hakim’s conception are teppe (faithful), isseng (knowledgeable), gau patujue (of good conduct), and sirie` (dignified). The “Sparkling Pearls” conception suggested by Luqman al-Hakim in the Latoa Manuscripts has great relevancy to developing functional structures of society, emphasizing the ethics of hard work, building character based on nationalism, and developing human behavior for better social interactions.
Al-Fatani's Perspectives on Islamic Family Law: Insights from Hidayah Al-Muta’allim Wa’Umdah Al-Muta’alim
Authors: Mustapha Ahmad Sharifuddin , Zainol Nur Zainatul Nadra , Mohammad Che Adenan , Khalim Mustapahayuddin Abdul , Muhammed Nik Kamal Wan , Faid Muhamad Syazwan
Published: June 2024

The evolution of Islamic Family Law in Malaysia is a nuanced amalgamation of Malay customs, cultural influences, and Islamic jurisprudence. Rooted in the history of Malaya, the formation of current Islamic Family Law reflects the fusion of these elements. This study delves into  Daud Abdullah Al-Fatani's seminal work Hidayah Al-Muta’allim Wa’Umdah Al-Muta’alim, a pivotal contribution to Malaysian Islamic jurisprudence. Comparing Al-Fatani's insights with those of scholars from diverse schools of thought and contemporary Islamic Family Law enactments, the focus remains on key issues such as Zihār, Khiyar, and Nusyuz. The study reveals that Al-Fatani's perspectives transcend strict adherence to the Al-Shafi‘i school, while aligning with the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984. His views on marriage dissolution and wife’s disobedience are influenced by Malay culture, while maintaining fidelity to the Qur’ān and Sunnah exemplified by his stance on Zihār. This resonates in Malaysia's current Islamic Family Law which is not rigidly bound to the Al-Shafi‘i school but intricately considers cultural conditions.
A Waqf Empowerment Model Based on Benefit Analysis
Authors: Supriatna Encup , Syarif Dede , Afrilia Astri , Sundari Asri , Setia Paelani
Published: June 2024

Waqf endowment is an act of worship with various socioeconomic implications. At the time of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), waqf functioned as an instrument to meet the financial needs of the community. Indonesia has the highest Muslim population in the world. Hence, it has a high potential for creating waqf endowments. This study aims to analyze the usefulness of waqf and develop a model to empower waqf endowments, especially in West Java. A quantitative approach was used for data collection by distributing questionnaires to the beneficiaries of waqf. Moreover, in-depth interviews and literature studies were also conducted to collect the data. The results showed that the respondents perceived the religious dimension of waqf as very useful, although they found its economic dimension of little use and significance. Moreover, empowerment models regarding the economic dimension are presented in this research for some of the most important waqf endowments in West Java in particular and in Indonesia in general, namely mosques and educational institutions (schools/madrasas).
Recontextualization of Fiqh Al-Siyāsah from the Perspective of Fiqh Al-Ḥaḍarah in Realizing World Peace
Authors: Rois Choirur , Irfan Agus , Toyyib Moh , Ali Mohammad Mahbubi
Published: June 2024

The objective of this research article is to investigate Nahdlatul Ulama's perspectives on the discourse of Fiqh Al-Ḥaḍarah, also known as "Fiqh of Civilization," within the context of contextualizing Islamic political thought toward the concept of global peace. Sociological disparities in national and state dynamics, keeping in view the intensity of conflict at the global level, demand the attention of the leaders from all across the world . Fiqh Al-Ḥaḍarah through the discourse of Fiqh Al-Siyāsah,  advocates that the idea of peace contained in the UN charter has a strong basis in Islamic Sharia. All Muslims must campaign peace as a form of adherence to the Sharia. Therefore, the notions in classical Fiqh Al-Siyāsah must be interpreted and recontextualized as theyaim to straighten the view that politics in Islam is an intermediary for realizing prosperity through peace. This study used an annotated bibliography and descriptive qualitative method, while data was collected by using the desk research method. The approaches used included the textual-contextual approach, sociological approach to Islamic law, and critical theory. The results showed that Fiqh Al-Ḥaḍarah can be used to recontextualize Fiqh Al-Siyāsah in an ideal direction according to the needs and demands of the contemporary times. Similarly, Fiqh Al-Ḥaḍarah can present Islamic thought as a solution to establish peace and allow the emergence of a better civilization in the future.
Holy Kaaba Names in the Holy Qur’ān: A Stylistic Study
Authors: Al-Qurni Abdulla Hassan , Hassanin Yahya Abduladhim , Zein Kamal Ahmed Mohammed , Abdulghani Muna Adil Fathi
Published: June 2024

The current study attempted to stylistically examine the names of the Holy Kaaba mentioned in the Holy Qur’ān in order to reveal the rhetorical expressions of each name. The study intended to reveal that each name of Kaaba is related to its linguistic and lexical meanings. It reflects the accuracy of the Holy Qur’ān to link these names with their meanings. Moreover, the study also focused on the most important structures and systems of the verses that encompass these names. Scholars believe that considering the Qur’ānic context is one aspect of the Qur’ānic Ijaz (inimitability). The rhetorical analysis of a text depends on the stylistic view of all its facets. Every name of Kaaba is fixed in its position and designed to fit in its context, based on the preference rule. Thus, the preference of the name comes in that particular position, not in the other one, since each name has its own definite aspects and characteristics which harmonize with the verses’ systems and contexts.

Authors: Dvoretskaya I. V. , Uvarov A. Yu.
Published: June 2024

The article presents the results of an analysis of students’ responses about teaching them how to work with information when solving learning tasks. The results of a survey conducted in the course of the project on monitoring the digital transformation of educational organizations in 2021 were used. Four specific students’ learning profiles have been identified, depending on the tasks they receive from the teacher to develop information literacy skills. Three typical groups of schools have been identified according to the types of profiles of teaching students to work with information. The influence of schools’ digital equipment, activities aimed at upgrading the functioning and development of innovative methods of educational work at school on the existing practices of teaching students to work with information has been analyzed. It was found that if a school is provided with digital equipment for students’ individual learning, teachers are more willing to give them tasks to work with information in the digital environment. It has been revealed that the development and discussion of concepts and plans for mastering digital technologies in pedagogical teams is positively related to the practice of using tasks to develop students’ information literacy. The recommendations for the formation of information literacy in general education school students are offered.
Life-Saving Resin: Hemoperfusion's Role in Overcoming Acute Organophosphate and Carbamate Poisoning
Authors: Mohapatra Alok Kumar , Rout Shashi Bhushan
Published: June 2024

Background: Acute poisoning from organophosphates and carbamates is a major public health concern. These poisons inhibit acetylcholinesterase, leading to severe clinical manifestations. Traditional treatments, such as atropine and oximes, often fall short in severe cases, necessitating alternative therapeutic approaches. Hemoperfusion, an extracorporeal blood purification technique, has shown promise in improving outcomes for poisoning cases. This study aimed to estimate the clinical outcomes of resin-based HOD in individuals with acute organophosphate and carbamate poisoning admitted to a South Asian tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out involving 50 patients diagnosed with acute organophosphate (n=30) or carbamate (n=20) poisoning. Patients underwent standard treatment protocols, and eligible individuals received resin-based hemoperfusion. Data on demographic details, clinical outcomes, complications, and biochemical parameters were collected and analysed using SPSS version 25.0.
Results: The study found an overall recovery rate of 84%, with 80% recovery in the organophosphate group and 90% in the carbamate group. The complication rate was 12%, and the mortality rate was 4%. Cholinesterase levels significantly increased post-hemoperfusion, with a mean rise of 600 U/L. Time to treatment was a significant predictor of positive outcomes (p=0.011).
Conclusion: Resin-based hemoperfusion is effective in treating acute organophosphate and carbamate poisoning, significantly improving recovery rates and reducing mortality. Early intervention is crucial for optimal outcomes. This treatment modality should be considered a valuable component of poisoning management protocols, especially in resource-limited settings.
Recommendations: Further research with larger sample sizes and randomized controlled trials is recommended to confirm these findings and explore additional factors influencing treatment outcomes. Implementation of resin-based hemoperfusion in standard treatment protocols for severe poisoning cases is advised to enhance patient care and survival rates.

A mélyfúrás geofizikai adatainak digitalizálása hidrodinamikai modellezéshez
Authors: Buday Tamás , Kyrillos Samir Ghattas
Published: June 2024

A részletes geológiai és hidrodinamikai modellek kialakításakor a rétegsoron túl szükség lehet a mélyfúrási geofizikai szelvények pontos ismeretére, amelyekkel releváns petrofizikai, rezervoármechanikai jellemzőket határozhatunk meg, és szerkezetföldtani elemeket azonosíthatunk. A mért adatok rögzítésére és tárolására évtizedeken keresztül hagyományosan papíralapú naplókat használtak, a modern számítógépes szoftverek azonban digitális adatsorokat igényelnek. Ezért szükséges a papíralapú kútadatok és mélyfúrási geofizikai szelvények digitalizálása, amely speciális geológiai vagy geofizikai szoftverekkel vagy képelemző szoftverekkel végezhető el. A kapott eredmények azonban függhetnek a választott módszertől, ezért elemzésükre szükség van.Jelen kutatásban a Tiszacsege B-119-esfúrás papíralapú fúrási geofizikai görbéi alapján vizsgálunk lehetséges eljárásokat, a teljesen manuális rendszerektől a mesterséges intelligencia által támogatott rendszerekig. A kapott eredmények alapján az elvárt pontosság mellett nem rövidíthető le a geológus vagy a geofizikus szakértő digitalizáló vagy ellenőrző munkája, elsősorban a pontatlan rajzú görbék, a szkennelés során fellépő torzítások kiküszöbölése, az egymást fedő görbék és a skálaváltás során fellépő változások követése. Az információgazdag napló digitális formátumba történő konvertálásával kapott eredmények lehetővé teszik a hatalmas mennyiségű papíralapú kútfúrási napló adatainak hatékonyabb tárolását és újrafelhasználását a geológiai, hidrogeológiai, geotermikai, szénhidrogénipari modellezéshez.

Benefícios tributários: revisão sistemática e contribuições para o campo
Authors: Amanda Maciel Carneiro Turini  , Raupp Fabiano Maury
Published: June 2024

This research aimed to compile studies associated to the topic of tax benefits through broad theoretical research on the subject systematically, complemented by free research, in order to cover the field as much as possible. With qualitative, descriptive and exploratory methodology and documentary analysis, it was possible to carry out the research and support the results and discussions, having as contributions a guide to talk about studies of tax benefits, a source of research to contribute to the expansion of knowledge about the phenomenon and considerations and reflections on the field and its potential. As conclusions, some study gaps were found, as examples of contributions of efforts to identify social, political and cultural impacts, among others, expanding the concept beyond economic costs and benefits. Studies focused on tax benefits can also re-discuss and give new meaning to the final objectives of the State and the real needs of society, designing interventions aimed at public problems. Possibilities of application and use of benefits used in other countries for the Brazilian context, such as a more in-depth analysis of the admissibility of credits for citizens who fall within the IRPF exemption line and have health and education expenses, to be compensated in subsequent years, for example, show an entire field of studies that could refine the Brazilian system, seeking greater justice in the distribution of public costs.
Análise dos índices de transparência pública dos municípios do estado do Ceará
Authors: Da Silva Neves João Vitor , Salgueiro Rodrigues Júnior Manuel
Published: June 2024

The objective of this paper was to calculate the transparency index of municipalities in the state of Ceará over the last five years through reports released by the State Court of Auditors (TCE), which evaluates the periodic disclosure of planning instruments, the Fiscal Management Report and Budget Execution Summary Report, the government's accountability and verifies the real-time availability of revenues and expenses. A methodology was used with qualitative procedures, consulting the legislation and reports released by the TCE, and quantitative procedures, through the calculation of indices. As a result, the municipalities of Ceará have a high transparency index of 0,83. However, it is important to highlight that only two municipalities achieved 100% regularity results. As a result, there is a need for improvement in other city halls regarding the disclosure of public information, with the aim of achieving the maximum level of transparency. Faced with these issues, this work makes a social contribution through research data, influencing citizens to analyze transparency reports and seek to pressure governments to expand measures to disseminate public transparency data. Furthermore, it is worth highlighting the importance of deeper studies on the topic, which evaluate, for example, the factors that impact the lack of disclosure of public data.
A Lei de Arbitragem no Brasil e a necessidade de sua atualização
Authors: De Sousa Lemos Eduardo , Felix Pereira Rejane
Published: June 2024

Arbitration is the oldest institute used by society as a means of resolving conflicts. In Brazilian law, arbitration has already been provided for in Philippine Ordinances since the period of colonization. Despite being provided for in legal standards, arbitration only underwent significant regulation in 1996 with the publication of Law nº 9.307/1996, which represented a major advance at that time. However, new improvements occurred with the sanction of Law nº 13.129/2015, which implemented, among other improvements, the use of arbitration in direct and indirect public administration. The changes to the aforementioned law brought great advances, expanding its applicability to various activities or matters, which provided Brazilian society with more options for quickly resolving conflicts. In this context, through bibliographical and documentary research, the objective of this paper is to present the main bills that expand the use of arbitration, and thus demonstrate the need to update Brazilian arbitration law, which could become one of the most modern of the world. The bills in progress expand the use of the arbitration institute to the most diverse activities, from private law to public law, including conflicts related to family law, consumer law and tax relations. Therefore, the approval of these projects by the National Congress is urgent, as Brazilian society needs alternative means to resolve the most varied controversies.

Authors: Firmiano Teixeira Maria Luiza , Bueno Contrera Renata
Published: June 2024

This article aims to investigate, especially in a quantitative way, the adherence of internal audits of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology to the consultancy service. To this end, exploratory research was carried out, with the analysis of the Annual Internal Audit Reports (RAINT) of the 38 existing institutions, between the years 2018 and 2021, totaling 148 documents. Searching for key words on the topic, namely “consultancy”, “advisory”, “facilitation”, “advisory”, “advice”, it was possible to identify reports that did or did not contain any mention and, then, analyze the content of the reference. In addition to documentary research, the methodology of this work complements bibliographical research. The statistics also demonstrate a gradual adherence to the topic on the part of the internal audits of the Federal Institutes. Consulting actions are frequently seen relating to the implementation of risk management and the improvement of integrity in organizations, as well as the participation of auditors in working groups. Attention was drawn to the identification in the RAINTs of activities related to support in the preparation of the Management Report and administrative activities, in addition to clarifications on audit actions such as consultancy or assistance. The analysis also showed that some of the reported actions are close to the so-called co-management, and that some work described as consultancy indicates the carrying out of legality analysis, an activity that falls within the scope of the exclusive competence of the Attorney General's Office.

Published: June 2024

Introdução: Os tumores de células germinativas testiculares representam cerca de 97% dos cânceres testiculares. Histologicamente, classificam-se em seminomas e não seminomas, tendo aplicabilidade diagnóstica e prognóstica. O sucesso terapêutico depende do diagnóstico precoce associado ao correto estadiamento, sendo então de grande importância a avaliação de biomarcadores que possam contribuir para o manejo dessa doença. Objetivo: Identificar os genes que podem estar correlacionados com o prognóstico e a sobrevida no câncer testicular. Método: Análise de bioinformática utilizando 137 amostras de câncer testicular do The Cancer Genome Atlas e 165 amostras de tecido testicular normal do The Genotype-Tissue Expression. A identificação dos genes e análises subsequentes foram feitas pelo GEPIA2. Resultados: Inicialmente avaliou-se, em relação à expressão gênica, os 500 genes mais associados com a sobrevida global do câncer testicular e os 500 com a sobrevida livre de doença. Em seguida, foi realizada a sobreposição dessas duas listas e construído um diagrama de Venn mostrando os 13 genes em comum. Destes, mantiveram-se apenas os codificadores de proteína, verificando quais diferiram significativamente do tecido normal em relação à expressão gênica. Somente ATP10A, SAMD14 e PCAL4 mostraram diferença com significância estatística, todos subexpressos no câncer testicular. A análise deles em conjunto foi ainda mais significativa para a sobrevida global e livre de doença. Conclusão: Foram identificados nesta análise in silico três genes que demonstraram associação significativa de sua expressão com a sobrevida e o prognóstico dos pacientes com câncer testicular.

By conducting product evaluations, the sales potential of each product will be seen more accurately, thereby helping strategic decision-makers. As one of the algorithms in product selection, AHP  has been proven to solve complex problems involving multi-criteria, as many studies have successfully used it to rank products. However, in AHP implementation there are two different ways of calculating weights and consistency ratios. Due to the various AHP processes available, this paper performs testing with the most frequently used variations to determine product potential and compare the methods for multi-criteria decision-making. The criteria are harvest duration, selling price, feed production, weather conditions, and target market. The research results show that the weights of the two methods are different, but the resulting ranks are the same. The best choice type of fish to be farmed by fish farmers is catfish with the highest weight and the most difficult type of fish to farm is giant gourami. The result also show that the best way of the normalization process is squares of comparison matrices because its sensitivity does not easily change the ranking order.
Leveraging Topic Modelling to Analyze Biomedical Research Trends from the PubMed Database Using LDA Method
Authors: Pamungkas Yuri
Published: June 2024

Biomedical research has become an essential entity in human life. However, finding trends related to research topics in the health sector contained in the repository is a challenging matter. In this study, we implemented topic modelling to analyze biomedical research trends using the LDA method. Topic modelling was carried out using data from 7000 articles from PubMed, which were processed with text processing such as lowercase, punctuation removal, tokenization, stop-word removal, and lemmatization. For topic modelling, the LDA with corpus conditions varied to 75% and 100% for validation. Alpha and beta parameters are also set with variations between 0.01, 0.31, 0.61, 0.91, symmetry, and asymmetry when the number of the corpus is changed. When the number of the corpus is 75%, the optimal number of topics is 7, with a coherence value of 0.52. Whereas when the number of the corpus is 100%, the optimal number of topics is 10 with a coherence value of 0.51. In addition, based on the results of article topic modelling, several topics are trending, including disease diagnosis, patient care, and genetic or cell research. Based on the classification of biomedical topics into seven categories, the optimal accuracy, precision, and recall values using the Random Forest algorithm were obtained, namely 85.57%, 87.36%, and 87.58%. The results of this study suggest that topic modelling using the LDA can be used to identify trends in biomedical research with high accuracy. This information can help stakeholders make informed decisions about the direction of future research.

Authors: Mustapa Dieki Rian , Tjahyanto Aris
Published: June 2024

Water quality is crucial in pharmaceutical production, where it serves as a solvent and raw material. Contamination with organic compounds poses a risk to product integrity and safety. TOC serves as a key indicator for assessing organic pollution levels in water. An increase in TOC signals potential issues with water treatment systems. Machine learning prediction of TOC values is essential for preemptive monitoring and maintenance. This study aimed to compare three different machine learning algorithms - Linear Regression (RL), Random Forest (RF), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) - for predicting Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in pharmaceutical water treatment systems. By utilizing a dataset covering various operational conditions of pharmaceutical water treatment systems, the research conducted a comprehensive analysis. Each algorithm underwent evaluation using performance metrics like coefficient of determination (R-squared), and prediction accuracy to assess their effectiveness in predicting TOC concentrations. A correlation coefficient approaching 1 (100%) signifies a strong relationship between model predictions and actual target values (accuracy prediction), while a smaller Mean Absolute Error (MAE) indicates higher accuracy in predicting target values. The study found that the results of the correlation coefficient in order from highest to lowest are the RF, MLP, and RL models with values of 95.04%, 93.11%, and 80.27%, respectively. Likewise, additional metrics for evaluation, including Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Relative Absolute Error (RAE) and Root Relative Squared Error (RRSE), exhibit a ranking from lowest to highest values across RF, MLP, and RL models. RF has a higher prediction accuracy of the TOC than other models (95%) and lowest MAE (3.9). This research offers valuable insights into utilizing machine learning algorithms for TOC prediction within pharmaceutical water treatment to make informed decisions, improving water treatment systems and overall product quality.

Impulsivity is the tendency to act without considering consequences or without careful planning. It involves a quick response to a stimulus without sufficient consideration of the consequences. Impulsivity needs to be measured and detected because it has a significant impact on various aspects of a person's life. The factors that influence the level of impulsivity include social environment, stress level, mental health, and genetic factors. Impulsivity can be divided into multiple components, such as reduced sensitivity to unfavorable behavioral outcomes, a disregard for long-term implications, and quick and spontaneous responses to stimuli. Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies can identify specific brain wave patterns such as, Alpha, Betha, Theta, and Gamma waves everything based on an individual brain's level of impulsivity. Signals from the brain are processed to extract specific features that reflect the user's intentions. EEG records brain activity without surgery, and this information is used for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of neurological diseases, as well as scientific research on the brain and mind. K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) is a classification algorithm that functions by utilizing several K nearest data values (its neighbors) as a reference to determine the class of new data. The K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm is used for classification, clustering, and pattern recognition in EEG data where clustering is in 4 classifications (Impulsive, Not Impulsive, Potentially Impulsive, and Very Potentially Impulsive). This classification model shows high accuracy (Training Data: 94.7%, Testing: 91.3%, and Validation Data: 91.8%). This research shows that the KNN algorithm is effective for assessing the degree of impulsivity.
Decision Support System for Ranking Active Waste Bank in Makassar City Using TOPSIS and VIKOR Methods
Authors: Papua Ahmad Ruslandia , Hasanuddin Tasrif , Hasnawi Mardiyyah
Published: June 2024

In the city of Makassar, there were initially around 1000 waste banks, but this number has decreased significantly, and by 2023 only 381 waste banks remain active. The decline in the number of waste banks is primarily due to the society's lack of knowledge regarding the utilization of waste banks. This research aims to rank active waste banks in Makassar using the MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision Making) technique. Two MCDM methods will be utilized in this study: the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method and the VIKOR (VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) method. Both methods share a common goal of finding the closest value to the ideal solution, but they differ in their normalization and aggregation functions. TOPSIS calculates the criteria weight values first, followed by the criteria values, whereas VIKOR starts with the highest criteria values and then calculates the criteria weights. The results of this research indicate that some alternatives received the same ranking using TOPSIS and VIKOR methods. The criteria used to calculate data for Waste Banks are Operational Hours, Operational Schedule, Total Customers, Total Employees, and Amount of Collected Waste. These criteria are determined based on Regulation Minister of Environment and Forestry Republic of Indonesia Number 14 of 2021 concerning Waste Management at Waste Banks.
