Urgensi Fikih Lingkungan
Authors: Eva Siti Latofah
Published: October 2024

Fenomena bencana alam yang terus menerus terjadi sudah saatnya menjadi renungan berfikir bagi kita manusia yang ditugaskan Tuhan sebagai khalifah (pengemban tugas) dimuka bumi ini. Benarkah alam marah? Lalu siapakah yang salah? Alamkah atau manusia yang terlalu serakah? Sebagian manusia menyalahkan alam seakan sudah tidak lagi bersahabat, namun jika kita renungi, semua yang terjadi dengan alam tidak terlepas dari sebab akibat perbuatan manusia itu sendiri. Sudahkah kita menjalankan tugas yang diembankan kepada kita menjaga dan melestarikan alam lingkungan sekitar kita? Menjaga kelestarian lingkungan hidup merupakan bagian dari akhlak mulia yang harus diterapkan di tengah kehidupan manusia. Hal ini telah diperintahkan dan dicontohkan langsung oleh Rasulullah SAW sebagai suri teladan dan panutan manusia akhir zaman bahkan beliau dengan tegas memberikan peringatan bagi pengrusak lingkungan alam. Disini pentingnya korelasi fiqih lingkungan dengan akhlak tasawuf sehingga cinta lingkungan tidak hanya dianggap sebagai suatu kebaikan saja tapi juga kewajiban akhlaqi yang harus dimiliki semua individu penghuni alam semesta ini.

THE UNIQUE POLITICAL ATTRIBUTES OF THE UNITED STATES' SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE
Authors: Kurti Bledar , Iseni Arburim
Published: October 2024

The two most important documents in the history of the American state are the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. These two essential documents have been the foundation of a country so rare and unique in the political and social mindset of a nation. Established a governance model that cannot be matched in the globe. E pluribus unum (Out of many, one). 50 states in one. A country with over 56 thousand governments. With thousands of governmental units divided into 36 thousand cities and towns, and 35 thousand separate districts! A mesmerizing reality for any other country but not for the USA that this diversity and multiplicity has united into one government, one nation and one flag! "Out of many, one" is a unique American hallmark! An inter-century reality that is not found anywhere else! Immigrants from all over the world came and continue to come to the land of freedom and plenty, but despite language, cultural and racial diversity, they are one. They are Americans! They live the American dream and try to be "good Americans," another concept that belongs only to America. "Out of many, one" is also seen in American society, a society that has reached an extraordinary harmony of the relationship between individualism and community. Two opposite binomials that perfectly and naturally merge into one. The individual fully reserves his/her personal rights and yet is free and responsible in the community, and part of a wider national affiliation. "Americans are so enamored of equality, they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom," wrote Alexis de Tocqueville in 1835 in his classic book Democracy in America. Even today, regardless of origin and affiliation, everyone is equal before the law! And every individual is offered the opportunity to be whoever he or she wishes to be. Every individual is treated as worthy and valuable to society. There have even been many attempts to import the US Constitution and system of government, and implement them in other parts of the world, but they have been unsuccessful. This has been due to the fact that the American Constitution and system of government are a reflection of the American mentality, values and identity. And this great achievement is thanks to the two most important documents of all times, the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ALCHEMY AS A THEME: AN ANALYSIS OF “THE ALCHEMIST” BY BEN JOHNSON
Authors: Amir Shamaila , Aurangzeb Muhammad
Published: October 2024

Although the real theme of the Alchemist may be described as avarice and lust, alchemy figures so largely and prominently in the play that it deserves the first and foremost consideration. The very title shows the importance of alchemy in the scheme of the play. Considerable space has been devoted by the author in this play to a discussion of the theory of alchemy and the vast potentialities of this pseudo-science. The objective of this paper is to analyze how the actions and the characters of the play portray alchemy as the main theme of the play. Various characters and their actions are analyzed to conclude that “The Alchemist” is a play with a wide scope and It would be unfair to limit its theme to avarice and lust. Alchemy as one of the themes cannot just be set aside on the plea that it is incidental.

Authors: Mehmedi Argjent , Iseni Arburim , Hoxhaj Adelina
Published: October 2024

Most often, academics propose that the end of Queen Victoria's reign (1901) could be considered as the starting point if we were to think of a precise historical period from which Modernism begins. Additionally, it was at this time that Britain's protracted period of stability came to an end. Due to the Boer War (1899–1902) and the immense impact imperialism had on English society, the nation was going through a time of shock. People started to pay attention to the social issues in their culture because they were tired of the exhausting characteristics of imperial growth. These changes laid the foundation for significant literary and social revolutions. It was gradually becoming apparent that the prior conventional forms were disappearing from literary genres including the novel, theater, and poetry.

Abstract
Background
 The emergency department (ED) is unique unstable environment where someone faces unscheduled and undifferentiated diseased patients, stressed families, unsettled staffs and unequitable resources.UoGCSH is the oldest in the Ethiopia and the only referral hospital for more than 13 million people from the five-zone north-west Ethiopia with 950 beds capacity. During the 2020 G.C a proposal paper was submitted to the administration bodies of the college and the hospital. The proposal was suggesting short term, mid-term and long-term quality improvement segments implemented in institutionally convenient manner.
Objective
To describe the transformation of emergency and critical care medical services at University of Gondar Comprehensive specialized hospital from scratch to the current status.
Method
A descriptive case study design was applied to narrate critical care service transformation at UoG Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Since this case study is a data review from gathered secondary data, desk reviews of the emergency department, quality directorate data review, and the annual audit report review, there was no need for IRB approval.
Result and recommendation
After a year of renovation, we were able to organize a newly refurbished emergency room having a triage area with adequate reception space, Red resuscitation area with 10 beds (considering patient overflow), Orange with 18 beds, Yellow with 10 beds and floater area, isolation room, decontamination room, ED laboratory, main store, disaster store and piped oxygen system to all beds.
we have gone a long journey in bringing those promised practices into demonstrable practice and finally replicable prototypic best practice. Even though we paced extra miles in achieving this status. Standard emergency room work flow implementation enable us to control the day-to-day patient and attendant crowding that impedes the anticipated medical treatment outcome and result in a significant dissatisfaction.Despite this achievement the trauma center establishment and high-quality patient care is recommended.

Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that has been used for centuries for atrial fibrillation (AFib) and congestive heart failure (CHF). Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index with a potential for toxicity that can be life-threatening1-5. Toxicity can result from accidental or intentional overdose, renal failure, and/or hypokalemia. Cardiac manifestations of digoxin toxicity cause dysrhythmias of different types2,6. Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is a specific dysrhythmia in the setting of digitalis toxicity, but AFib with slow ventricular response (SVR) is another digoxin toxicity-related dysrhythmia7. Here, we report AFib with SVR as a sign of digoxin toxicity secondary to acute renal failure (ARF).

Authors: Martini Wayne , Rappaport Douglas E. , Dion Christopher , Isazade Vugar , M’baruk Emmanuel , Busingye Joseph
Published: October 2024

Background: Amitraz poisoning, though rare, poses significant health risks, particularly in developing regions like Africa where its use as an insecticide and acaricide is widespread. 
  
Case Presentation: A 24-year-old female in Southwest Uganda was brought to the Emergency Department after intentional ingestion of Amitraz. Initial assessment revealed somnolence, bradycardia, hypotension, and respiratory distress. Despite decontamination, intravenous fluids, and atropine administration, the patient's condition deteriorated, necessitating intubation and transfer to an ICU. 
  
Discussion: Amitraz toxicity manifests primarily through central α2 adrenergic receptor agonism, resembling clonidine overdose, with symptoms including hypotension, bradycardia, altered mental status, and respiratory depression. Differentiating Amitraz poisoning from organophosphate toxicity is crucial due to overlapping clinical features but distinct management strategies. Supportive care, including airway management and cardiovascular support, is essential. 
  
Conclusion: This case highlights the critical need for awareness and preparedness for Amitraz poisoning in resource-limited settings. Effective supportive care can lead to successful outcomes despite severe initial presentations. Further education and preventive measures are recommended to mitigate risks, especially among vulnerable populations.

The linguistic aspects of the construction of debates that discuss various themes regarding existential problems in the Indonesian republic has far-reaching consequences. In them, the numerous ethnic groups in Indonesia must be accommodated as much as possible in order to guarantee a sense of national unity. In the contemporary Indonesian political discourse, the sense of national unity is torn apart as a result of Papua being still turbulent with some people trying to separate themselves. In this context, the employment of regional languages in the presidential debate contributes to manifest the politics of language into a reflection of the presidential candidates' ability in recognizing the languages of all the vernacular ethnic groups. This research examines the use of vernacular languages in the presidential debates in Indonesia. The research employs descriptive qualitative research methods. Data source is the recorded text of the 2024 presidential candidate debates obtained from the TV broadcasts. Data collection involved ‘listening’ and note-taking as the techniques. The data analysis technique employed Norman Fairclough's critical discourse theory. The analysis examined the text as a construction of social identity, social relations, and meaning. The results show that in this debate, there has been a strong emphasis on the recognition of social identity of the people of Indonesia. The three regional languages used by the presidential candidate Anies Baswedan in the debate reflect these identities of different ethnic groups: Java, Sunda and Maluku. what Anies highlighted was his efforts to bring about interactions among the ethnic groups. He argued that they must interact with each other to produce Indonesia as a unified nation. Anies has employed the languages to articulate philosophical meanings related to the struggle, nobility, consistency, honesty, wisdom and femininity

Typologies of traditional domestic architecture across the world are based on numerous criteria. Certainly, social stratification is one among them. Mamasa tribe located in the West Sulawesi Province, which is one of the Indonesian ethnic groups with traditional architecture do so based on the social and economic levels of the community and the caste divisions. Their traditional architectural heritage still maintained to this day is the Mamasa traditional house called banua. The Mamasa community introduced caste divisions based on the social and economic levels of the community which physically influenced the form and typology of the Mamasa traditional house. This study examines the architectural aspects influenced by the social stratification of the Mamasa community: the function, form, space, material, appearance and decorative variety of the Mamasa traditional house. The research employed exploratory qualitative methods. Data collection techniques included direct observations, interviews and literature studies. In-depth interviews were conducted with several traditional leaders related to the Mamasa traditional house. The field data was correlated with data from the literature studies: journals, books, or website sources related to the research study. The findings indicate a strong correlation between the architecture of the traditional Mamasa house and the social stratification that exists in the Mamasa community. The typology based on the social stratification of the Mamasa society is: the first type, Banua Sura' is intended for the tana' bulawan or high nobility class. The second type, Banua Bolong is intended for the tana' bassi or the ordinary nobility class. The third type, Banua Rapa is intended for the tana' karurung or free-people class. The fourth type, Banua Longkarrin is intended for the tana' kua-kua or the slave class. These four types of banua each reflect the social and economic status of the homeowners through their architecture.

It is known that quantification of embodied carbon and associated carbon emissions of different building types gives indications of the environmental impact of a structure during its construction, operation, and demolition stages and the various levels of boundary conditions within the framework of life cycle analysis (LCA). In this context, this study examines an eco-sensitive resort, located in a warm and humid climate. It conducts a comparative assessment of embodied carbon and resultant carbon emission by using conventional and alternative vernacular construction materials for foundation, superstructure, walling, roofing, flooring, joinery, finishing details, and site-work. The research method includes calculation of total quantum of materials used in the selected eco-sensitive resort project with one case scenario of using conventional construction materials and another case scenario of using their vernacular alternatives for all the different blocks with MS Excel© tool. The resultant values of their embodied carbon and carbon emission are calculated by using the globally recognized database and other calibrated LCA tools. The results show that in the high-end cottages with conventional brick and RCC construction systems, the superstructure and finishing cause the major amount of energy consumption during the construction stage. Using alternative vernacular materials like bamboo in the super structure, local tandoor stones in flooring reduce the embodied energy and carbon emission level significantly. The assessment shows that a 38.8% reduction can be achieved in embodied energy. The carbon emissions decrease by 1680 MT if vernacular materials are used. This finding is useful for building owners and designers in selecting holistic and environmentally sustainable building materials to produce sustainable buildings.
Employing Vernacular Urbanism and Traditional Practices in Enhancing Contemporary Cities: Insights from India

Published: October 2024

Vernacular urbanism, which encompasses traditional architectural and
planning practices rooted in local culture and environmental conditions,
presents valuable insights for modern urban design. As modern cities face
increasing challenges such as environmental sustainability, cultural
homogenization and climate change, the significance of these traditional
practices becomes more apparent. In this context, it is argued that
understanding and integrating vernacular practices can enhance contemporary
urban design by merging historical knowledge with modern needs.
This paper examines the integration of vernacular urbanism—
traditional architectural and urban planning practices—into contemporary city
design by employing a qualitative approach through case studies across
various Indian cities such as Mumbai, Kochi, Jaipur and Jaisalmer, drawing
on various data sources including historical texts, architectural treatises. By
examining these, the study uncovers the evolution of vernacular urban
practices and their applicability to contemporary urban design challenges.
The paper concludes that integrating vernacular principles into the
design of contemporary cities creates a harmonious balance between heritage
preservation and advancing modern developments. This approach effectively
bridges the gap between historical knowledge and contemporary urban
planning, resulting in more livable, sustainable urban environments.

Traditional settlements are often associated with residences
that still hold customary and cultural values that are closely related
to the beliefs or religions of a particular community rooted in a
particular place beyond historical determinations. Such is the case of
the traditional settlement of the Ata Krowe community in
Romanduru Village, Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province,
Indonesia. The Ata Krowe community speaks the Sikka language
and lives in the mountains.
This research examines the characteristics of the settlement
of the Ata Krowe community in Romanduru village. It employs a
cultural landscape approach.
Findings show that the Ata Krowe community in
Romanduru village has a centralized settlement concept and consists
of several components including watu mahang, wisung wangar, wua
mahe, and Ai Tali. The paper concludes that, as an old village,
Romanduru village has a distinctive residential pattern: a sedentary
concept based on the presence of springs. The existence of
Romanduru village is inseparable from the existence of the Buang
Baling clan, which is a tribe/clan that opened the land first and is
honored as Tana Pu'an.
