Authors: Setia Setia , Kamal Marium
Published: August 2024

This research aims to find out how the practice of profit-sharing cooperation takes place and the forms of default that occur between cattle owners and managers in Cot Cut Village, Aceh-Indonesia. The research uses qualitative methods (field research) through interview and observation techniques, as well as secondary data obtained through library research by examining books, journals, propositions and literature related to the research. The results of the research show that cooperation is carried out through verbal agreements without time limits and profit-sharing methods based on the sex of the cow and also the profit sharing for calves. Uncertainty regarding profit sharing occurs when the cows being sold are sick or the profit sharing is slaughtered which causes uncertainty in the profit sharing. The form of the agreement is in accordance with contract law such as Article 1320 of the Civil Code, however, verbal agreements are weak in terms of proof when there is a breach of contract, and based on Islamic agreements, cooperation in raising cattle is in accordance with fulfilling the pillars and conditions of Islamic agreements, especially Mudharabah contracts, but in terms of this contract If a default occurs, such as the imposition of compensation (dhaman) and a cut in the ratio, it can result in damaging the validity of the contract due to the lack of clarity and loss of profits received by the manager

Authors: Setiyadi Alif Cahya , Mohammad Aris Sakiinah
Published: August 2024

This research aims to study the analysis of the ability of the bai' al-'inah contract according to the Syafi'i school and also how it is implemented in Malaysia. The author uses the qualitative research method of the literature type. The research results found that the contract of bai' al-'inah allowed by Imam Shafi'i is a contract that is free from the element of riba and other elements that can prohibit it. Among the conditions set by Imam Syafi'i are that the two sales and purchase transactions contained in this bai' al-'inah must stand alone and not be related to each other so that the second transaction is a condition for the first transaction. The Syariah Advisory Council (MPS) in Malaysia decided to allow bai' al-'inah based on the opinion brought by Imam Syafi'i. In the decision that has been issued, MPS states the conditions that must be followed by Islamic Banking Institutions in Malaysia that apply bai' al-'inah in their products. Among them are the two purchase and sale contracts, which must be clear and carried out separately; there is no repurchase condition in the contract, the time for the confirmation of the two contracts is different, and the transfer of ownership of assets is clear. This research concludes that the bai' al-'inah contract practised in Malaysia is permissible, according to Imam Syafi'i's opinion.

The research results show that free-range chicken egg business owners have reached informal agreements with several coffee shops and cafes to place their products. Sales of free-range chicken eggs are regulated through a consignment system with profit sharing usually calculated based on a percentage of total sales, namely 80% for egg owners and 20% for coffee shop or cafe managers. Ijārah ‘Ala Al-‘Amāl is an agreement that regulates the use of someone's services for certain tasks with commercial purposes that generate profits, such as delivering customer orders to the desired location. Types of work that combine these aspects are generally found among entrepreneurs cultivating free-range chicken eggs. Village chicken egg entrepreneurs market their products by handing over their eggs to sell to various places such as shops, kiosks and coffee shops. In this case they use a consignment system where the eggs are entrusted to the shop which then sells them to buyers.

Published: August 2024

Correlation analysis is a term in statistics commonly used to study the relationship between variables. The purpose of this analysis technique is to get a pattern of the closeness or strength of the relationship between two variables expressed by the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient is a value that indicates whether or not there is a strong linear relationship between two variables. This study aims to find the relationship between the characteristics of health workers at Undata Hospital Palu and antibody levels. The characteristics of health workers are nominal data with two categories while antibody levels are measured using ratio or interval data. This type of data is suitable to be analyzed using point biserial correlation technique. There are several variables of respondent characteristics that influence immune performance, namely gender, presence or absence of comorbidities, smoking habits, health conditions, exercise habits, close contact with patients and vaccine history. The results of the correlation analysis showed that all respondent characteristic variables had a very weak correlation with antibody levels. This is indicated by the correlation coefficient value of each variable of 0.034; 0.062; 0.063; 0.074; 0.020; 0.079 and 0.119. This means that the characteristics of respondents do not really affect the rise and fall of antibody levels. However, vaccine history has the highest correlation coefficient compared to other variables. This indicates that one of the prevention efforts against infectious diseases is the administration of vaccines.

Twenty-four lambs were randomly assigned into four treatment groups. In the treatment groups, soybean meal was replaced with RDDGS at 0% (T1), 50% (T2), 75% (T3), and 100% (T4) levels. Our results inferred that replacing of soyabean meal with different concentrations of RDDGS did not significantly (p>0.05) affect dry matter Intake (DMI and feed conversion ratio. Further, gross digestibility of different nutrients and cell wall constituents were also unaffected. The cost of feed kg-1 of weight gain was significantly (p<0.05) reduced. The cost of feed kg-1 gain was significant (p<0.05) because of the replacement of soybean meal with RDDGS. T2, T3 and T4, showing decreases of Rs. 11.23, Rs. 17.59, and, respectively, in comparison to the control (T1). The study concludes that RDDGS can completely replace soybean meal in sheep diets without affecting nutrient efficiency. This replacement maintains the same growth and digestibility while significantly reducing the cost of production per kilogram of body weight by 12.7%. Consequently, RDDGS emerges as a cost-effective alternative to soybean meal, offering economic benefits while sustaining the nutritional quality of the feed.

Crítica, sustracción y virtualidad. Meillassoux lector de Deleuze
Authors: Villalobos Manjarrez Alberto , Ezcurdia Corona José Agustín
Published: August 2024

El presente artículo consiste en una problematización de la lectura que el filósofo francés Quentin Meillassoux realiza sobre la ontología de Gilles Deleuze. Primero, se examinan dos críticas que Meillassoux dirige sobre el pensamiento de Deleuze, las cuales remiten al concepto de materia viva y a la continuidad entre materia, vida y subjetividad. Después, se explora la reconstrucción de la filosofía de Deleuze que Meillassoux elabora a partir de un modelo sustractivo. Finalmente, a modo de tesis, se explica que el concepto de virtualidad, propuesto por Meillassoux, puede comprenderse como una radicalización o una liberación del problema de lo virtual, que corresponde a la ontología de Deleuze.

This study focuses on the screening of thirty wheat germplasms for Zn and Fe content, and their association with yield and related traits. Analysis of variance showed significant variation among the genotypes for all studied traits including Zn and Fe content. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) were very close for micronutrient indicating fruitful for selection of these traits, whereas great differences for yield and yield attributing traits. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was also observed for Zn and Fe content, but low for yield per plant. Genotype BAW897 and DSN117 for Zn, BAW1006 and SADH-22 for Fe and BAW1006 and Sonalika for yield were selected based on the mean performance, and BAW667 was best considering all three traits, suggesting their suitability and adaptability for cultivation to fulfil the agricultural demand. Zn and Fe content showed negative associations with canopy temperature, chlorophyll content yield and its different contributing characters. Principal Component Analysis revealed that zinc had a positive value in PCA1, iron showed a positive value in PCA2, and total yield was positively associated with PCA2, with the first five components explaining 77.1% of the cumulative variance. The thirty genotypes were clustered in four major groups, having maximum number in cluster 1 and minimum in cluster 4. Cluster 1 consists of the most promising genotypes having higher micronutrient content and high yielding ability. The identified genotypes can be utilized in forthcoming breeding to ensure both food and nutritional security in Bangladesh.

Published: August 2024

The aim of this study was to profile Cameroonian cassava farmers in the Adamawa, Centre, East and South regions of Cameroon. Four (04) quantitative and ten (10) qualitative variables were analyzed using correlation analysis and Chi-square-based association testing (alpha=0.05) respectively. The results suggest that cassava farming is practiced more by women than by men. Also, the average age of cassava farmers across regions is 42.2 years. Some of Cameroon’s cassava farmers own farmland, and few have fields that are specifically devoted to Cassava cultivation due to the practice of mixed cropping and crop rotation. Moreover, the majority of Cameroonian cassava farmers consume the cassava they grow and process, and most of them are well-educated, being able to read and write, with 51% of women involved. Smartphone use is very widespread among Cassava farmers in the Centre and South regions, where the proportions between the two sexes are 26.1% (men) versus 30.3% (women), and 30.9% (men) versus 29.4% (women) respectively. The same applies to internet access. Farmers in Adamawa and the East have little access to the internet. Furthermore, very few cassava farmers belong to farmers’ organizations, and they use the income from selling the cassava they produce and process to ensure their household’s food and health security, and to send their children to school. Finally, participation in community activities is not widespread in Adamawa and the South and over the last five years, very few cassava farmers have acquired assets from the sale of cassava.

Heritage inquiries into the Karmawibhangga reliefs of Borobudur Temple have not effectively revealed the degree to which flora and fauna serve as part of the network of interconnected stories depicted in the carvings of this Buddhist archaeological site in Indonesia. An exploration of the flora and fauna shown in the 160 panels of the Karmawibhangga reliefs moves beyond the accepted elucidation of the panels as mere depictions of the tenets of karma. Using approaches from intra- and extra-textuality, and tropical queer ecology to examine the flora and fauna motifs as social and environmental texts reveals the larger story within the Karmawibhangga panels. This ecological presence serves as a significant indicator of temporal, natural, and symbolically significant aspects of tropical heritage.
Kūttāṇtạvar’s Festivals: Tropicality, Transsexuality, Death & Rebirth in Tamil Mahābhārata Folk Cultures
Authors: Mukherjee Sreya
Published: August 2024

In the tropical landscape of Tamil Nadu in southern India, the eighteen-day long festival of Kūttāṇtạvar offers insights into the interplay of transsexuality, death, and regeneration within Tamil Mahābhārata folk cultures. The complexities of queer identity and expression within the context of Tamil Nadu’s cultural landscape, with its entailing myths and rituals, include an understanding of tropicality and the Tamil ecocultural notion of tinai, as conceptual frameworks that shape human-environment interactions and cultural practices. This festival, which is held annually during the months of April-May, has synchronised its rituals with the hot and humid summers. Most of the activities associated with the festival are scheduled primarily during night or dawn hours to avoid the intense midday heat, thus reflecting a practical adaptation to the tropical climate. Within this setting, queer identities find expression through the rituals and myths associated with the Kūttāṇtạvar’s festivals. This paper illuminates the transformative potency of myths and rituals in shaping queer identities and traditions all within the intricate montage of folk cultures in Tamil Nadu.
Nature and Shadows in the Caribbean: Queer Subjectivity and Identity in Helen Klonaris’s “Ghost Children” and Shani Mootoo’s Cereus Blooms at Night
Authors: Regis Hannah
Published: August 2024

This paper argues that the Greek-Bahamian writer, Helen Klonaris, and Trinidadian-born novelist, Shani Mootoo, pay obeisance to those systemically marginalised peoples in the Caribbean whose notions of self continue to be damaged by forms of imperialist attitudes which condemn queer and non-heteronormative desire as monstrous and strange. The authors offer an alternative discourse to etch out critical insights into the complicated lives and subjectivities of Caribbean communities, and in so doing, have recuperated tropical nature as a recourse to therapeutic interventions and as a space that protects the vulnerable from lethal neocolonial forces, which aim to disfigure the mind and body. This work, therefore, presents the task of locating a language in which the tacit understanding of deviant and queer encounters, and pleasures, can be made knowable and available to epistemic inquiry.
Queer Tropical Gothic: Parody, Failure, and Space in Nick Joaquin’s “Gotita de Dragon”
Authors: Ritumban Raymon D.
Published: August 2024

The stories for children by Filipino literary master Nick Joaquin (1917-2004), when compared to his famous works for adults, have received scant attention even though they are as masterfully written and thematically sophisticated. Out of Joaquin’s fifteen children’s stories produced between 1972 and 1983, “Gotita de Dragon” stands out for its queer tropical gothic turn. The piece is a parody of a pious legend about Saint Martha, where the titular character is on a quest to become “as big as a gothic dragon,” which subsequently renders him “in search of a virgin.” The narrative is built upon the masculine failures of its human and animal characters, and maps out the landscape of Manila’s red light and polluted districts of the time – via Malate and Ermita, and the Pasig River where the queer takes place. Read through queer studies, tropical gothic, and tropical materialisms, “Gotita de Dragon” is a tale set within a tropical landscape that has undergone appropriations by colonial and authoritarian forces – and where the failure of the hero becomes the impetus for the taking place of queer resistance and solidarity.

Evaluation Performance for Iraqi Oil Projects Using Earned Value Analysis
Authors: Jasim Nidal Adnan , Ibrahim Abdulrahman Adnan , Hatem Wadhah Amer
Published: August 2024

Poor performance measuring procedures in the oil and gas sector can result in project cost overruns, schedule delays, and scope expansions. Earned value management, an integrated project planning and control system that monitors cost and schedule performance, makes it possible to identify performance issues early and adopt corrective measures quickly. This study aims to thoroughly comprehend the differences between actual and planned expenses, as well as the potential use of Earned Value Management (EVM) to compare and analyze the available data and to assess the effectiveness of EVM when applied to a real project in helping a project manager achieve success in terms of budget utilization and schedule compliance. For this purpose, data were collected from the Karbala Refinery Project, which is one of the vast and modern projects of the State Company for Oil Projects (SCOP), the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, based on (84) monthly reports starting on (June 26, 2015) up to (August 25, 2022). The data was arranged in a spreadsheet format suitable for statistical analysis using Microsoft Office Excel, and the earned value was analyzed and its indexes. The results showed that the earned value indexes Cost Performance Index (CPI), the Schedule Performance Index (SPI), and the To-Complete Cost Performance Indicator (TCPI) achieved for the task construction of the Karbala refinery project were as follows: 1.029, 0.991, and 0.237, respectively, which means that the construction task for the Karbala refinery project is late and still within the budget.
