Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study was to find out the strategic management activities carried out in internal and external environme at Madrasah, obstacles encountered, and solutions to overcome problems. The research method uses a qualitative approach that describes the findings at the research location. Data collection techniques through interviews with school principals, curriculum representatives, teachers, and students. Field observation to find phenomena that occur. Documentation studies in the form of official records, books, photos of school activities. Research results show that: (1). Strategic planning in improving the performance teachers, has been implemented in the form of guidelines, which compile all aspects that follow the functions to be carried out, according to the priority scale that will be carried out, namely identifying problems in improving teacher performance. (2). The organizing strategy has been carried out in the form of establishing delegation and management functions, although not all aspects and functions of organizing have been carried out properly, namely the division of labor has not been based on the competence possessed by the teacher. (3). The implementation strategy has been carried out in the form of implementing programs that have been planned to improve the performance teachers, but there are still important aspects in the implementation which are still annual routines that tend to be administrative (4). Strategic Evaluation has been carried out in the form of a strategic management oversight function. (5). Obstacles encountered are the supervisor and teacher factors, educational facilities, and budget / for financing, which are the main obstacle factors in implementing.

Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist Treatment in Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Tsoukas Michael A.
Published: October 2023

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by a progressive decline of insulin production due to a marked destruction of pancreatic B cells. Intensive insulin therapy is the pillar of T1D management. More recently, continuous glucose monitoring devices, closed-loop systems (CLS) and smarter connected insulin pen systems have all significantly helped individuals to improve glycemic control. Despite these advances, however, more than three-quarters of the adult T1D population does not achieve recommended glycemic targets. In addition, aggressive insulin intensification potentiates weight gain and the risk of recurrent hypoglycemic events. Recent significant increase in rates of obesity has also led to a sharp increase in T1D patients who concurrently have adiposity-based chronic disease, increasing their insulin resistance and predisposition for cardiovascular events. While insulin will remain the basis of T1D management, there is an unmet need for individualized adjunctive therapeutic approaches focusing on the prevention of diabetic complications in addition to glycemic control. One such adjunctive therapy currently being explored in T1D are the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), a popular and robust approach in Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) to mimic the natural endogenous GLP-1 incretin. This brief review will focus on the rationale and existing evidence for the use of GLP-1 RAs in the management of T1D.
Nonlocal problems for hyperbolic equations from the viewpoint of strongly regular boundary conditions
Authors: Pulkina Ludmila S.
Published: October 2023

In this article, we consider a nonlocal problem for hyperbolic equation with integral conditions and show their close connection with the notion of strongly regular boundary conditions. This has an important bearing on the method of the study of solvability. We propose also a new approach which enables us to prove a unique solvability of the nonlocal problem with integral condition.

A Revolution Without A Cause: The Digital Markets Act and Neo-Brandeisian Antitrust
Authors: Kim Yunsieg P.
Published: October 2023

This Article uses the Digital Markets Act, which took effect in the European Union on November 1, 2022, to demonstrate the neo-Brandeisian antitrust movement’s most fundamental problem: it has not yet shown why its proposals are necessary to accomplish its stated goals. Neo-Brandeisians cite perceived unfair conduct by the likes of Google and Apple as evidence that the existing legal regime’s approach of fostering competition has failed, and that a new approach of regulating each unfair conduct specifically is necessary. But the mere fact that bad things happen does not mean that existing law has irredeemably failed, just as the continued existence of crime does not mean that criminal law has failed. The solution might not necessarily be to abandon existing law, but to change how existing law is applied. Indeed, this Article shows that existing law in both the European Union and the United States can feasibly achieve the neo-Brandeisian goal of regulating unfair conduct by platforms like Google and Apple, thereby making the DMA unnecessary. The DMA would also be counterproductive and ineffective for achieving its own stated objectives. For example, the DMA’s requirement that app store owners like Google and Apple use only “transparent, fair and non-discriminatory” criteria to rank apps would not prevent Google and Apple from distorting their rankings practices—just as a law school ranked outside the top 180 can rank itself second in the nation by equally weighting neutral factors such as total campus square footage and the number of chairs in the law school library. In fact, an app ranked fourth for revenue on Google Play ranks 148th in the number of users, indicating that Google could easily attach different weights to any number of superficially neutral criteria to produce drastically different rankings. This Article’s chief contention is that, as long as the neo-Brandeisian antitrust movement fails to present a sober cost-benefit analysis of its own proposals, its demand to replace existing antitrust law with regulatory micromanagement of specific conduct will remain a call for a revolution without a cause.

The aim of the study is to provide the reader with a ready computer implementation, written in VBA editor (Visual Basic for Applications). Reading the presented theory for multi-feature tables and analysis of the examples allow the reader to carry out independent tests using X2 Pearson’s statistics at any number of objects in each multi-feature table cells.
Mirroring the Past in the Present: A Comparative Analysis Between Khawārij and Boko-Haram
Authors: Dr Abdulwahab Danladi Shittu
Published: October 2023

The deadliest religious sect ever witnessed by Nigerians is the Jamacatu Ahlu Sunnah lid Dacwah Wal Jihād popularly known as Boko Haram. The group was founded by Muhammad Yusuf in 2002 and was initially known to be a Jihadist organisation based in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State in the North eastern Nigeria. With the killing of the founder on 30th July 2009 in a Boko Haram uprising and the subsequent takeover of leadership by Abubakar Shekau, the group turned to an insurgent that has indiscriminately killed tens of thousands of Nigerians and has displaced millions of citizens from their homes. The militant group attracted the attention of the entire world between 2014 and 2016 when it abducted some school girls in Chibok village of Borno State and claimed control over some other villages in the state. The massive killings of both the militaries and civilians up till the end of 2017 by the fundamentalists under the pretext of fighting for the cause of Allah is likened to the militant attack launched by the Khawārij against other Muslims after the life of the Prophet (SAW). This study made a comparison between the two groups using a combination of descriptive and comparative research methods with a view to identifying the ideological relationship between both groups. Findings of the work revealed that the founder of the Boko Haram group shared some ideologies of the Khawārij and therefore, to overcome the insurgence of this group, it is necessary to review the way and manner the Khawārij were silenced in Islamic history.
مفهوم الجهاد في رحاب القرآن والسنة وتطبيقاته عند الأقليات المسلمة
Authors: محمد رشاد بن عبد النصير
Published: October 2023

إن تأصيل مفهوم الجهاد في الإسلام، قد أضاف ميزة فريدة لهذا الدين العظيم، إذ صار وسيلة لوصول الإنسان إلى الله سبحانه وتعالى. وحيثما يُذكر الجهاد في الوقت الحاضر يراد به القتال، ولكن الجهاد في سبيل الله ينقسم إلى قسمين: الأول موجه إلى الداخل، ويسمى "الجهاد الأصغر". والثاني موجه إلى الخارج، ويطلق عليه "الجهاد الأكبر "، إن الإنسان بالأول يبلغ معرفة نفسه بعد اجتيازه العقبات بينه، وبين نفسه حتى يبلغ معرفة الله، ومحبة الله، والذوق الروحاني. أما الثاني فيتحقق به إزالة الموانع بين الإنسان والإيمان بالله سواء بالنضال أو القتال، لإيصاله إلى الله تعالى، ويعّرف الجهاد عند أعداء الإسلام، وبعض المسلمين أيضًا أنه القتل لغير المسلمين فقط، ولكن مفهوم الجهاد أعم كما سيبيّن الباحث في هذا المقال المختصر، وتضمن هذا المقال مبحثين: المبحث الأول: مفهوم الجهاد في رحاب القرآن والسنة. والمبحث الثاني: حكم الجهاد في البلاد التي يعيش فيها المسلمون أقلية ومتى يجب عليهم؟ وذلك بالاعتماد على المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، وتوصل الباحث لجملة من النتائج أهمها: أن الجهاد بمعناه اللغوي لا يقتصر على القتال بل يتعداه إلى جهاد النفس أو المال أو الكلمة، كما أن الجهاد بمعنى القتال ليس على إطلاقه، بل لابد من توفر شروط وضوابط نص عليها القرآن الكريم، والسنة النبوية.
Capital Punishment in the Lens of the Shari’ah
Authors: Abdulrazaq Kilani
Published: October 2023

Shari’ah as a legal system of law in Islam is greatly misunderstood by a cross section of the intellectuals due to the prescription of capital punishments in the legal system. The paper provides explanation for capital punishment in the Shari’ah using the absolute sources of Islam (Qur’an and Sunnah) and to explain that the Shari’ah and Islamic system provide for reform, forgiveness and pardon. The paper concludes that the revulsion against the Shari’ah and its prescriptions is misplaced as Islamic system is replete with prescriptions of mercy and pardon for offenders.
مفهوم كرامات الأولياء عند ابن تيمية

Published: October 2023

قد ظهر طائفة من الناس في هذا العصر من يدّعون الولاية. وفي الحقيقة الولاية قسمان؛ ولاية الرحمن وولاية الشيطان. وإذا عرفنا أن الأولياء فيهم من ولاه الرحمن وفيهم من ولاه الشيطان، فيجب أن نفر ق بين هذا ؤذاك كما فرق الله تعالى ورسوله بينهما. فأولياء الله هم المؤمنون المتقون وأولياء الشيطان دونهم، وقد عسر على الناس في هذا العصر الفرق بينهما، ولا يعرف طريق التميز بين صفاتهما حتى يظن أن كل من ظهر على يديه أمور تخرق العادات فهو ولي الرحمن. ولأجل هذ ا الظن الباطل تحاول هذه المقالة توضيح مفهوم الولاية وكرامة الأولياء من وجهة النظر ابن تيمية ومن خلال مصنفاته. فقد اختير للمقالة المنهج الكيفي والطريقة الاستقرائية والتحليلية لجمع البيانات المطلوبة وتحليلها، حيث تم جمع المعلومات من الكتب والرسائل من العلماء المتقدمين منهم والمتأخرين، وذكر الآيات القرآنية والأحاديث النبوية وأقوال الصحابة والتابعين والتابع التابعين والعلماء بعدهم. فهدف المقالة عموما إلقاء الضوء على مفهوم كرامات الأولياء عند علماء أهل السنة والجماعة، بدليل من القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية. وتنا ولت المقالة رأي وموقف ابن تيمية في الأولياء والكرامات عندهم. ومن النتائج التي وصلت إليها المقالة أن الولاية الصحيحة في الشريعة لا بد من المطابقة بينها وبين ما في الكتاب والسنة النبوية، وإلا فلا تسمى ولاية. ومن التوصيات أن يأخذ الناس حذرهم عندما يدّعي أحد الولاية، فلا يتبعون منه إلا ما وافقه القرآن الكريم والسنة المحمدية .

Artificial Homosapien: Exploring the Classical Inventions of Robotics in Human History
Authors: Sulaiman A. Osho
Published: October 2023

One of the uniqueness of man between the Angels, Jinn, and the brute animals is the development of our Brain and to use knowledge to conquer nature. Such ingenuities are borne out of the Classical Theories of Robotics and Drones, and the making of artificial Homosapien to reach places where humans cannot survive such as in space, underwater, terrible heat, clean up, containment of hazardous materials, and radiation and detection and deactivation of bombs. This study explores the etymology of robotics in helping humanity domestically, commercially, militarily, and in embarking on research. It traces the threshold to the period of King Solomon (970 B.C. – 932 B.C.), a Prophet, King, Judge, Knowledgeable, Wealthy, Wise, and Powerful that speak the language of humans, jinn, animals, birds, insects, ants, and others. The study unveils how King Solomon inspired contemporary robotics, through the control the wind to fly the first airplane; used the jinn to build monuments, and Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem; and to acquire gold, brass, copper, and other minerals for wealth from the sea; and controlled birds for courier services and explore other territories. In narrative form, this investigation exposes how the concept of modern robots are developed in the Classical Times of the Islamic Empire between 7th and 16th Centuries, as inspired by King Solomon. Apart from juxtaposing how robots help in human labor, the study concludes that the artificial humans are of great benefits to humanity in exploring nature and to complement in management of human and material resources that replaces the factors of production in the new age of economics.

Authors: Salman Sebutu AbdulGaniyu  , Musa Adeyemi Olaofe  , Sanni Abdulkareem Bibire
Published: October 2023

In a teaching process, method of teaching is of great importance as it may be difficult for students to have a comprehensive understanding of topics under discussion in the absence of appropriate methods. To this end, this paper is a qualitative research or a position paper. It adopted theoretical approach to make an introspection of methods of teaching considered suitable to teach Islamic Studies in Nigerian senior secondary schools. The fact is that effective teaching of the subject requires various methods with suitable instructional resources as the case may be to accomplish the set objectives. The study revealed that method to adopt for a particular lesson depends largely on the topic, objectives and characteristics of the learners. More so, skills required of an Islamic Studies teachers are discussed. Similarly, some of the facts analysed in the study include curriculum and plan for teaching the Qur'anic, Hadith, Tadhib (Moral Education based on the Qur'an and Sunnah), Tawheed (Theology), 'Ibadah (Worship of Allah), the Mu'amalah (Human Relation), and the Tarikh (Historical Development of Islam) aspects of Islamic Studies are analysed in this study. Based on the reviewed theories, it was recommended that Islamic Studies teachers should be professionally trained and provided with opportunity to update their professional capability in line with modern teaching methodology.

Recently I tried to explain on twitter in a few tweets how everyone can take easy steps towards open scholarship with their own work.

There’s a good, balanced piece by Stephen Pincock in the new  Nature  , on the question of whether early-career researchers should publish their work in open-access journals.
Funders have all the power in OA negotiations. So why aren’t they using it?
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

A few days ago I explained why I don’t think “hybrid OA” is a legitimate path to the full-open-access world we all want. The TL;DR is first that it’s offered at stupidly high prices, and secondly that it’s completely impossible to detect or prevent double-dipping because journal subscriptions are the most opaquely priced good in the known universe.

PeerJ is a year old tomorrow!
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Here’s a thing … Looks like the first ever mention of PeerJ on this blog was a year and nine days ago. All we said in that first post was “… the proliferation of other publishing experiments such as F1000 Research and PeerJ …” with no further comment. That was just before the formal launch of PeerJ, which was on 12 June.

This article aims to determine the effect of school location and image on students' decisions to choose schools. With a strategic location and a good school image, it will attract students' interest, so it has an impact on students' decisions in choosing a school. This article uses the independent variables of school location and image and the dependent variable of decision making. The population in this study were students of SMAN 1 Gondang Mojokerto. In this study, the sampling technique used by the researcher is probability sampling, which uses simple random sampling. Collecting data using a questionnaire distributed to respondents as many as 277 students. The results of this study indicate that the location and image of the school have a positive and significant effect on students' decisions to choose a school simultaneously, as seen from the results of the F test F-count of 6.235 > F-table of 3.028 and a significance value of 0.002 <0.05, but partially the location variable has no effect on decisions. students choose schools seen from the results of the T-test -0.207 < t table of 1.967. While the school image variable has a positive and significant effect on students' decisions to choose a school, as seen from the results of the T test of 3,527 > t table of 1,967.
Role of endoscopy in gastroesophageal reflux disease
Authors: Simadibrata Daniel Martin , Lesmana Elvira , Fass Ronnie
Published: October 2023

In general, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is diagnosed clinically based on typical symptoms and/or response to proton pump inhibitor treatment. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is reserved for patients presenting with alarm symptoms, such as dysphagia, odynophagia, significant weight loss, gastrointestinal bleeding, or anorexia; those who meet the criteria for Barrett’s esophagus screening; those who report a lack or partial response to proton pump inhibitor treatment; and those with prior endoscopic or surgical anti-reflux interventions. Newer endoscopic techniques are primarily used to increase diagnostic yield and provide an alternative to medical or surgical treatment for GERD. The available endoscopic modalities for the diagnosis of GERD include conventional endoscopy with white-light imaging, high-resolution and high-magnification endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, image-enhanced endoscopy (narrow-band imaging, I- SCAN, flexible spectral imaging color enhancement, blue laser imaging, and linked color imaging), and confocal laser endomicroscopy. Endoscopic techniques for treating GERD include esophageal radiofrequency energy delivery/Stretta procedure, transoral incisionless fundoplication, and endoscopic full-thickness plication. Other novel techniques include anti-reflux mucosectomy, peroral endoscopic cardiac constriction, endoscopic submucosal dissection, and endoscopic band ligation. Currently, many of the new endoscopic techniques are not widely available, and their use is limited to centers of excellence.
Alteración térmica de artefactos líticos durante el Holoceno medio. Análisis de los conjuntos de Casa del Minero 1, Meseta Central de Santa Cruz
Authors: Frank Ariel David
Published: October 2023

En este trabajo analizo los conjuntos líticos termoalterados de la unidad 3 superior de Casa del Minero 1 (Santa Cruz, Argentina), correspondiente al Holoceno medio. Investigo si se aplicó tratamiento térmico durante la talla lítica y comparo los hallazgos con aquellos obtenidos para los componentes finipleistocénicos del sitio. También estudio si otros procesos termoalteraron los conjuntos. Para ello, analizo la ubicación de los indicadores de termoalteración dentro de cada pieza, las características tecnomorfológicas de los artefactos y su distribución en la cueva.
Los resultados indican que se aplicó el tratamiento térmico previo al retoque, durante la formatización final de instrumentos. Este procedimiento tendría características distintas a lo registrado para los componentes finipleistocénicos en términos de tipo de materia prima empleada y secuencias operativas en las cuales se implementó, con un uso menos frecuente durante el Holoceno medio. Por otro lado, un grupo de artefactos pudo dañarse térmicamente por la acción de fuegos encendidos con posterioridad a la ocupación o bien por la caída accidental en fogones. No obstante, distintos procesos postdepositacionales habrían alterado la distribución de los restos y/o la conservación de las estructuras de combustión.

Published: October 2023

Background: School-age children are referred to as latent periods, the more independent school-age children are, the more they have problems in the selection of snacks. The findings of the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) found several results of food content which showed 91.26% qualified, 8.71% ineligible,285 samples contained Rhodamin B, 211 samples contained Formalin, 162 samples contained Borax and 5 food samples contained Methanyl Yellow. Parenting is a factor that influences the behavior of snack, parents are the first source of information to understand about the behavior of healthy snacks in children.Objective: The purpose of this study was to foster journals regarding the relationship between snacking patterns in school-age children.Methods: Literature review method, which includes searching for journals from Elsevier, Pudmed, Google Scholer, and Garuda which received 6 journals because they have been tested based on the Critical Appraisal Checklist (JBI) instrument for analysis of Cross Sectional Studies. Then use PRISMA to select them and use the Plagiarsm Checker X application with 17% results.Results: Literature review data conducted on 6 journals that have been obtained shows that there is a relationship between parenting patterns and snack selection behavior in school age children and 1 journal there is no relationship. 6 research journals obtained the dominant value of journal 1 Lonto et al., (2019), with respondents of democratic fostering pattern category as many as 30 people or (46.9%) and 44 respondents (68.8%) with healthy snack behaviors. The better the parenting pattern applied to the child, the lower the level of snack selection behavior in the child.Suggestion: Literature review results are expected to be an educational material, especially school-age children and parents about the importance of foster care patterns to prevent snack selection behavior in school-age children.
Judicial Transitology

Published: October 2023

The rule of law crisis in Poland consists of several elements – undermining the independence of courts, politicization of disciplinary proceedings against judges, and lack of legal certainty. None of them, however, raises so many doubts and concerns as the status of judges appointed or promoted upon the request of the politically captured National Council of Judiciary (NCJ).
In this blog post, we analyse the diverse composition of the group of judges appointed or promoted upon the motion of the NCJ from 2018. We also discuss the relevant jurisprudence of national and international courts and the current state of debate concerning this problem and possible solutions.
The Election’s Aftermath
Authors: Kisilowski Maciej
Published: October 2023

Reenergized by the former liberal prime minister and EUCO president Donald Tusk, Poland’s democratic forces are well positioned to deliver a stunning upset on Sunday. If this indeed materializes, we must resist the temptation to think of the critical post-election days and weeks as a regular democratic transfer of power. Instead, what will happen should be understood as an inherently perilous collapse of an authoritarian regime. Several legal and constitutional provisions are capable of being weaponized by the ruling PiS party to thwart the peaceful transfer of power.

The space sector is transitioning towards Hybrid Satellite Networks (HSN), an aggregation of independently owned and operated terminals, antennas, satellites, payloads, or other components that comprise a satellite system. The elements of an HSN may have varying levels of assurance. HSNs may interact with government systems and critical infrastructure (as defined by the Department of Homeland Security). A framework is required to assess the security posture of the individual components while still enabling the HSN to provide its function. This report applies the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to HSNs with an emphasis on the interfaces between the participants of the HSN. HSNs have different cybersecurity concerns relative to a more traditional vertically integrated space system. This technical note presents a representative fictious scenario to demonstrate how to apply the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Internal Report (IR) 8441 Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Profile to a notional HSN.
