The Actualization of Justice in the Settlement of Joint Assets Due to Divorce: Comparative Analysis of Decisions of the Religious Courts
Authors: Muslimin JM. , Fatma Yulia
Published: December 2020

Abstract: The core problem examined in this paper is the practice of sharing assets in the Religious Courts. The article aims to prove that the justice provided by the judge in the distribution of joint assets is not only textually in accordance with applicable regulations, but by considering comprehensively, so that it can reflect the actuality. The urgency of this research is to emphasize that justice in the distribution of sharing assets cannot be interpreted as saying that each party must get an equal share. Justice can refer to the contributions made by both parties, both material and non-material. The used method of research focuses on a normative approach which is sharpened empirically. The normative approach requires a juridical and philosophical exploration, while empirical through the sociological approach. The results of the study conclude that the decisions of the Religious Courts regarding sharing assets are not always in accordance with the provisions of the Islamic Law Compilation (Kompilasi Hukum Islam).Keywords: justice; join assets; judges’ decision.Abstrak: Masalah utama yang dikaji dalam tulisan ini adalah praktik pembagian harta bersama di Peradilan Agama. Tulisan bertujuan untuk membuktikan bahwa keadilan yang diberikan oleh hakim dalam pembagian harta bersama tidak hanya semata tekstual sesuai aturan yang berlaku, akan tetapi dengan mempertimbangkan secara komprehensif, sehingga dapat mencerminkan sisi aktualitasnya. Urgensi penelitian ini untuk menegaskan bahwa keadilan dalam pembagian harta bersama, tidak bisa diartikan menjadi setiap pihak harus mendapatkan bagian yang sama rata. Keadilan dapat mengacu kepada kontribusi yang diberikan oleh kedua belah pihak, baik secara materi maupun non-materi. Sementara metode yang digunakan mentitikberatkan pada pendekatan normatif dan dipertajam dengan empiris. Pendekatan normatif meniscayakan uji putusan secara yuridis dan filosofis. Sedangkan empiris, melalui sisi sosiologis. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa putusan Peradilan Agama tentang harta bersama tidak selalu sesuai dengan ketentuan Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI).Kata Kunci: keadilan; harta bersama; putusan hakim.

FROM EUROPE TO LOMBOK: THE DISCOURSE OF LOMBOK TOURISM IN THE NOVEL MEDULLA SINCULASIS
Authors: Satrya HD Dharma
Published: December 2020

This article discusses the discourse of Lombok tourism in Paox Iben's novel Medulla Sinculasis. In Lombok, discourse on tourism was initiated by Tuan Guru Bajang, a religious scholar, after he was elected the governor of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, in 2008. Within this context, the novel Medulla Sinculasis is discussed. The novel constructs an understanding of Lombok as a tourism destination, beginning with Europe. In this story, Nuruda is driven to visit Lombok after seeing a painting titled Medulla Sinculasis being auctioned at the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands. After returning to Indonesia from Europe, Nuruda decides to travel directly to Lombok and meet Husin Nanang, the painter. His meeting with Husin Nanang, as well as the situation in Ampenan City, leads Nuruda on a transformation from tourist to social activist, fighting to protect the rights and promote the interests of marginal groups. Nuruda's struggle is ultimately unsuccessful, and he is killed in a hit-and-run. The Lombok in this novel is part of the discourse from the 2000s and 2010s, a period that was dominated by the economisation of Lombok. The novel Medulla Sinculasis may be seen part of this dominant discourse, and thus having the economisation of Lombok as part of its agenda.

Pandemia e violência
Authors: Iasi Mauro Luís
Published: December 2020

The dimensions of violence and the pandemic are in a historical terrain of full development of reifying relationships, changing our attitude towards death, producing a strangeness and anesthetizing consciences in the face of different forms of violence: subjective, symbolic, and systemic. The particularity of the Brazilian social and historical formation, with the exhaustion of the democratic and popular strategy, along with its course of class conciliation, manifests itself in a conservative tone marked by irrationalism and the worsening of the social polarization that leads to a fractured country. The historical bases of dependent capitalism and the autocratic political form are the foundations for the understanding of our attitude towards the pandemic and the violence that is expressed in it.
Assistência e repressão: pilares no enfrentamento da “questão social” no capitalismo dependente brasileiro
Authors: Mauriel Ana Paula Ornellas
Published: December 2020

The text focuses on the relationship between the repression of the working class and conservative forms of assistance. It proposes the hypothesis that such articulation constitutes one of the structuring axes of social policies in Brazilian dependent capitalism. This is an essay with a literature review starting from the Marxist criticism of social policy and using dependent capitalism as the category guide for analysis. Considering some of the main foundations of the Brazilian economic-social formation, we examine how dependent patterns, although they change in shape, are structural elements of the State and social policies. Based on this, we analyze how assistance and repression interact under neoliberalism, particularly from the worsening of the capital crisis after 2008. We conclude that we are facing a new pattern of coping with “social issues” in Brazil, where the advance of conservatism in the assistance field and more punitive as well as coercive actions via criminal policy are accentuated.
Pandemia, crise e expropriações: auxílio emergencial e contradições da focalização
Authors: Silva Mossicleia Mendes
Published: December 2020

This article aims to bring elements to the discussion of the health crisis based on the criticism of the capitalist crisis, of expropriations as a permanent process in the capitalist production mode, and its intimate relationship with the contradictions unleashed by the Covid-19 Pandemic. It also presents a synthesis of emergency aid and discusses the limitation placed by the focus of social policies as a tendency to the lack of social protection. This is an essay with a literature review based on historical and dialectical materialism. Thus, we adopted Marxist criticism to analyze the crisis and understand the consequences of the health crisis, investigating recent processes of expropriation of social rights. The discussion is also based on an understanding of social policy as a contradictory component of the State action for the reproduction of the working class, aiming at presenting a brief review of the incidence of the focalist path in the Brazilian social policy, as well as the paradoxes that it restores in a scenario of destruction of the fragile Brazilian social protection system.
A tortura no superencarceramento: Estado brasileiro e questão criminal
Authors: Simas Fábio do Nascimento
Published: December 2020

The present essay seeks to problematize the relationship between over-incarceration in Brazil and the increase in torture practices by the repression apparatus of the Brazilian State. Its material basis is the forms of poverty management used since the capital crisis. It is understood that such consecrated forms of poverty management have particularities that cannot be neglected in Brazilian society, given its social formation of dependent capitalism marked by bourgeois autocracy and structural racism. To this end, we problematize the repositioning of the class struggle in recent decades, the role played by the criminal system in capitalism and its forms in contemporary Brazil. In this sense, we used research and statistical data that indicate the relationship between over-incarceration and worsening torture.
O lugar da negritude nas políticas do Estado brasileiro: faces persistentes de uma presente ausência
Authors: Elpidio Maria Helena
Published: December 2020

This article reviews notes on the Brazilian social formation with regard to the relationship between the State and black people, taking into consideration the aspects of heteronomy, authoritarianism and systematic violence imputed / conferred to this segment in Brazil. It shows how this is reissued in the country as a sine qua non condition for the dependence and subordination relationship to the big world capital. It highlights the functionality of the myth of racial democracy that distorts the condition of citizenship of this part of society through non-access to public rights and policies. It discusses the permanencies and the search for ruptures that allow tensioning of the State towards overcoming racism, its challenges and limits in the overcoming of class society.
Pistas para análise da violência contra as mulheres em tempos de crise: aproximações e desafios no contexto de pandemia no Brasil
Authors: Barroso Milena Fernandes
Published: December 2020

The new coronavirus pandemic that hit the planet has demonstrated the structural crisis of capital and, far from proving itself a “democratic” infection, brought about breakdowns in many countries, revealing contradictions, inequalities and the limits of capitalism as a mode of production and reproduction of life. In this article, we seek an approach to analyze violence against women in this context, acknowledging it as both product and producer of a system that increasingly demands the body-territory of women in particular for its maintenance. Therefore, from an enlarged reading of violence against women, the text shows connections between many expressions of this violence and its centrality to new forms of capital accumulation in critical times, which, in a pandemic setting, become ever-increasingly exacerbated forms of exploitation and oppression of women, women of color in particular.

Published: December 2020

This article carries out critical reflections on the performance of the Public Power in the scope of the Social Assistance policy in the city of Rio de Janeiro regarding the homeless population in Covid-19 times. It aims to explain the actions that are being developed with this population and their impacts on their lives, with emphasis on how to make “stay at home” operational for those who have the street as their place of residence and sustenance. Thus, the paper aims at discussing how the capitalist state, in this case the aforementioned municipality, is acting towards this social issue, based on the spread of its accentuated coercive dimension in the scenario of complexity of the structural crisis of capital. This study presents a brief introduction of who these people are and how they are being cared for during the new coronavirus pandemic by the Social Assistance Policy. Secondly, it discusses their main demands in this context as well as the crucial aspects to be faced in order to have access to their rights. It concludes by proposing collective strategies for a more effective and qualified assistance that may provide rights to this population.

Is Maqāṣīd al-Sharī’a Sufficient? Reflections on Islam in Contemporary Malaysia
Authors: Abdul Hamid Ahmad Fauzi
Published: December 2020

During its brief 22-month administration (May 2018 – February 2020), Malaysia’s Pakatan Harapan government put forward the idea of Maqāṣīd al-Sharī’a or higher objectives of Islamic law as one of the precepts governing its Islamic agenda. While such an approach has demonstrated streaks of viability in extricating Islam from overly legalistic mores, it is epistemologically undetached from the sharia-centric paradigm that has dominated the post-colonial Muslim intellectual make-up. This article argues that proponents of Maqāṣīd al-Sharī’a in Malaysia might have overlooked the more urgent need for a morally based framework that evaluates human action not on the extent to which humans observe external law but rather on how sensitively humans connect with God in the event of legal injunctions being adhered to, ignored or transgressed. What is needed in Malaysia in addition to Maqāṣīd al-Sharī’a is Maqāṣīd al-Akhlāq, whose origins are rooted in the Islamic spiritual tradition of taṣawwuf or sufism.
Approaching Ijmāʿ: Sociological, Theological and Legal Dimensions of Consensus in Islam
Authors: Mohamed Mohamed Mosaad Abdelaziz
Published: December 2020

Presenting the emergence and development of ijmāʿ, this paper aims to epistemologically critique the articulation of ijmāʿ in modern Western scholarship on Islam. The article argues that to understand ijmāʿ, we need to explore its social context, theological foundations, and practical consequences. A tolerance of the difficulty in identifying truth, an understanding of the law as being built on uncertainty, and employing jamʿ, as an assemblage are essential dynamics in the formation of the law and Muslim societies. The corpus of classical literature on ijmāʿ is expectedly contradictory, and full of gaps. Rather than seeing this as problematic, the article recognizes it as normative. Against the argument that ijmāʿ was the “foundation of foundations,” or that it was a well-defined concept that gained political power against adversaries, the article argues that in practice ijmāʿ remained marginal, and confined to the minimum necessary for each individual to be a member in the Muslim community.
Woman-Initiated Divorce and Feminist Fiqh in Indonesia: Narrating Male Acts of Nushūz in Marriage
Authors: Wardatun Atun , Smith Bianca J.
Published: December 2020

This article examines the issue of woman-initiated divorce (cerai gugat) for the controversial reason in Indonesian Islam known as nushūz suami or a husband’s disobedience in marriage. In contrast to the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law which applies nushūz (disobedience) to wives only, our arguments draw on feminist jurisprudence (fiqh) to show how nushūz also applies to husbands who do not fulfill marital obligations. A husband’s nushūz is overlooked by classical scholars and Indonesian Islamic Law alike, yet when understood in a Qur’anic feminist context, it gives a depth of understanding about women’s choice to divorce as part of a wider gender justice process and the ‘gendering’ of divorce. Based on women’s post-divorce narratives about nushūz, we propose a feminist fiqh understanding of gender equality situated in tawḥīd as a concept with the potential to form egalitarian-inspired persons (muslimah reformis) and ‘essential’ and ‘true’ justice (keadilan hakiki), through reading religious texts and producing knowledge and policies that include women’s experiences and voices along with those of men’s (mubādalah).

Impact of using CSS PHY and RTS/CTS Combined with Frame Concatenation in the IEEE 802.15.4 Non-beacon Enabled Mode Performance
Authors: Barroca Norberto , Borges Luís M. , Velez Fernando José , Chatzimisios Periklis
Published: December 2020

This paper studies the performance improvement for the nonbeacon-enabled mode of IEEE 802.15.4 originated by the inclusion of the Request-To-Send/Clear-To-Send (RTS/CTS) handshake mechanism combined with frame concatenation. Under IEEE 802.15.4 employing RTS/CTS, the backoff procedure is not repeated for each data frame sent but only for each RTS/CTS set. The throughput and delay performance are mathematically derived for both the Chirp Spread Spectrum and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Physical layers for the 2.4 GHz band. The results show that the utilization of RTS/CTS significantly enhances the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 in terms of maximum throughput, minimum delay and bandwidth efficiency.

Published: December 2020

The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors has increased in Slovakian adolescents as a result of serious lifestyle changes. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) and the associations with cardiometabolic and selected lifestyle risk factors in a sample of Slovak adolescents. In total, 2,629 adolescents (45.8% males) aged between 14 and 18 years were examined in the study. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, and resting heart rate were measured, fasting venous blood samples were analysed, and HOMA-IR was calculated. The mean HOMA-IR was 2.45±1.91 without a significant intersexual difference. IR (cut-off point for HOMA-IR=3.16) was detected in 18.6% of adolescents (19.8% males, 17.6% females). IR was strongly associated with overweight/obesity (especially central) and with almost all monitored cardiometabolic factors, except for TC and systolic BP in females. The multivariate model selected variables such as low level of physical fitness, insufficient physical activity, breakfast skipping, a small number of daily meals, frequent consumption of sweetened beverages, and low educational level of fathers as the significant risk factors of IR in adolescents. Recognizing the main lifestyle risk factors and early IR identification is important in terms of the performance of preventive strategies. Weight reduction, regular physical activity, and healthy eating habits can improve insulin sensitivity and decrease the incidence of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and CVD in adulthood.
Biorefinery-Based Approach to Exploit Mixed Cultures of Lipomyces Starkeyi and Chloroidium saccharophilum for Single Cell Oil Production
Authors: Zuccaro Gaetano , del Mondo Angelo , Pinto Gabriele , Pollio Antonino , De Natale Antonino
Published: December 2020

The mutualistic interactions between the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi and the green mi-croalga Chloroidium saccharophilum in mixed cultures were investigated to exploit possible syner-gistic effects. As a matter of facts, microalga could act as an oxygen generator for the yeast, while the yeast could provide carbon dioxide to microalga. A lignocellulosic hydrolysate from steam exploded Arundo donax (Giant reed) was used as low cost feedstock. The overall lipid content and lipid productivity obtained in the mixed culture treating the hydrolysate of Arundo donax were equal to 0.081 glipid.gbiomass-1 and 37.2 mglipid.L-1.d-1, respectively. They represented promising re-sults if compared to the model systems where synthetic media were used. This study provided new input for the integration of Single Cell Oil (SCO) production with agro-industrial feedstock and the fatty acid distribution mainly consisting of stearic (C18:0) and oleic acid (C18:1) allows promising applications in biofuels, cosmetics, food additives and other products of industrial interest.
Composite Material Recycling Technology – State-of-the-Art and Sustainable Development for the 2020s.
Authors: Krauklis Andrey E. , Karl Christian W. , Gagani Abedin I. , Jørgensen Jens K.
Published: December 2020

Recently, significant events took place that added immensely to the sociotechnical pressure for developing sustainable composite recycling solutions, namely (1) a ban on composite landfilling in Germany in 2009, (2) the first major wave of composite wind turbines reaching their End-of-Life (EoL) and being decommissioned in 2019-2020, (3) the acceleration of aircraft decommissioning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and (4) the increase of composites in mass production cars, thanks to the development of high volume technologies based on thermoplastic composites. Such sociotechnical pressure will only grow in the upcoming decade of 2020s as other countries are to follow Germany by limiting and banning landfill options, and by the ever-growing number of expired composites EoL waste. The recycling of composite materials will therefore play an important role in the future, in particular for the wind energy, but also for aerospace, automotive, construction and marine sectors to reduce environmental impacts and to meet the demand. The scope of this manuscript is a clear and condensed yet full state-of-the-art overview of the available composite recycling technologies of both low and high Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). TRL is a framework that has been used in many variations across industries to provide a measurement of technology maturity from idea generation (basic principles) to commercialization. In other words, this work should be treated as a technology review providing guidelines for the sustainable development of the industry that will benefit the society. The authors propose that one of the key aspects for the development of sustainable recycling technology is to identify the optimal recycling methods for different types of composites. Why is that the case can be answered with a simple price comparison of E-glass fibers (~2 $/kg) versus a typical carbon fiber on the market (~20 $/kg) – which of the two is more valuable to recover? However, the answer is more complicated than that – the glass fiber constitutes about 90% of the modern reinforcement market, and it is clear that different technologies are needed. Therefore, this work aims to provide clear guidelines for economically and environmentally sustainable End-of-Life (EoL) solutions and development of the composite material recycling.

The productivity of phytoplankton found best in coastal waters is on a critical aquatic environmental condition for the life of phytoplankton (incubation time : 10.00-14.00). At that incubation time, the sun reached the apex of illumination (12.00). Theoretically, the best productivity is unlikely to happen because the activity of phytoplankton is not perfect. To answer that doubt, the research deals with the strategy of life phytoplankton on critical conditions in coastal waters. To achieve the desired results, multivariate analysis is used Correspondent analysis (CA) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA). The results showed that based on the analysis of Factorial Koresponde (CA), there were two grouping of phytoplankton  abundance. Group I showed that the grouping of phytoplankton  abundance of occurred at A depth of 10 m at the sampling  time A (10.00 : normal conditions). Group II occurs at a depth of 5 and 15 m at sampling time B (14.00: critical condition). Furthermore, the shift in grouping phytoplankton occurs at the sampling  time A at a depth of 10 m into the sampling time B in 5 m depth, not at at a depth of 0 m. This is due to the very strong sunlight intensity that can lead to death in the genera of phytoplankton that exist. It turns out that the strategy and the dynamics of phytoplankton abundance at critical time is not doing the grouping at the surface depth (0 m), but at a deeper depth (5 m) in order to keep the activity well done.

Corn seed breeders are indispensable in the supply of superior hybrid corn seeds.  Its ability to produce seeds is evaluated for their superiority compared to the production of corn grain yield. A study was conducted in Jatirogo District, Tuban Regency, East Java province in July to December 2019. Involving farmers cooperator implementing hybrid corn seed production in the area of 96 ha and non cooperator farmers who produce the corn grain yield in the same location.  We observed the variables:  cost of production, yield and farmers income. Data and information were analyzed by Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C) and Marginal Benefit Cost Ratio (MBCR). The results showed that farmers who produced hybrid corn seeds of Nasa-29 variety (cooperators) were able to produce 4.6 t/ha of wet cobs with an income of IDR. 19,470,000/ha, while farmers who produced   grain corn of 7.9 t/ha with an income of IDR. 15,943,000/ha.  MBCR analysis showed that, the switching is able to added the farmer income Rp.4,100 for every use cost Rp.1,000 as long as the seed procurement policy remains unchanged and related institutions continue to provide support.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia began to be confirmed in early February 2020, it affects many various economic sectors, including agriculture. The COVID-19 created challenges for socio-economic issues. This short note focuses on the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on the agricultural sector. The COVID-19 outbreak had a wide-ranging impact, so that agricultural commodities continued to decline. The government's call to not leave the house resulted in many farmers not doing their activities so that it has an impact on declining farmers' income. The field officers also could not optimally carry out their work as a result the development of farming was not optimal. Various efforts have been made by the government to support the agricultural sector such as building e-marketing and training in processing yields for farmers.

This research discussed the SEIPR mathematical model on the spread of pneumonia among children under five years old. The development of the model was done by considering factors of immunization and treatment factors, in an effort to reduce the rate of spread of pneumonia. In this research, mathematical model construction, stability analysis, and numerical simulation were carried out to see the dynamics of pneumonia cases in the population. The model analysis produces two equilibrium points, which are the equilibrium point without the disease, the endemic equilibrium point, and the basic reproduction number ( ) as the threshold value for disease spread. The point of equilibrium without disease reaches a stable state at the moment , which indicates that pneumonia will disappear from the population, while the endemic equilibrium point reaches a stable state at that time , which indicates that the disease will spread in the population. Furthermore, numerical simulations show that increasing the rate parameters of infected individuals undergoing treatment ( ), the treatment success rate ( ), and the immunization proportion ( ), could suppress the basic reproductive number so that control of the disease spread rate can be accelerated.

BPJS Kesehatan is a social security facility provided by the government to all people who are registered as members. BPJS Kesehatan membership is divided into two, namely BPJS for Contribution Assistance Recipients (BPJS PBI) and BPJS Non-Contribution Assistance Recipients (BPJS Non-PBI). In 2019, Bali Province is targeted to achieve Universal Health Coverage of 95 percent so that the Bali Provincial Government has budgeted funds worth IDR 945 billion to finance JKN - KBS services which are integrated with JKN - KIS. Karangasem is one of the four districts in Bali Province that received the most percentage of financing, which is 51 percent of the total budget needed when compared to other areas. This study aims to classify the BPJS-PBI recipient community based on education variables, employment indicators, age, and per capita expenditure in Karangasem Regency in 2017. The classification method used in this study is the random forest method. The results showed that the per capita expenditure variable had the largest contribution in classifying the status of PBI participants. The model that is formed produces an accuracy of 0.8017. This means that the model can predict 80.17 percent testing data correctly.

Published: December 2020

Background: Health systems integration is becoming increasingly important as the global health community transitions from acute, disease-specific health programming to models of care built for chronic diseases, primarily designed to strengthen public-sector health systems. In many countries across sub-Saharan Africa, including Kenya, prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (pMTCT) services are being integrated into the general maternal child health (MCH) clinics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefits and challenges for integration of care within a developing health system, through the lens of an evaluative framework.
Methods: A framework adapted from the World Health Organization’s six critical health systems functions was used to evaluate the integration of pMTCT services with general MCH clinics in western Kenya. Perspectives were collected from key stakeholders, including pMTCT and MCH program leadership and local health providers. The benefits and challenges of integration across each of the health system functions were evaluated to better understand this approach.
Results: Key informants in leadership positions and MCH staff shared similar perspectives regarding benefits and challenges of integration. Benefits of integration included convenience for families through streamlining of services and reduced HIV stigma. Concerns and challenges included confidentiality issues related to HIV status, particularly in the context of high-volume, crowded clinical spaces.
Conclusion and Global Health Implications: The results from this study highlight areas that need to be addressed to maximize the effectiveness and clinical flow of the pMTCT-MCH integration model. The lessons learned from this integration may be applied to other settings in sub-Saharan Africa attempting to integrate HIV care into the broader public-sector health system.
