La genèse des récits au prisme du rapport : le cas du contrôle de la police dans deux provinces canadiennes
Authors: Bernier André
Published: November 2020

Au Canada, les provinces du Québec et de la Colombie-Britannique ont réformé (en 2013 et 2011 respectivement) leurs dispositifs d’enquête sur les policiers impliqués dans un incident grave, un domaine de politique publique historiquement résistant au changement. Chaque fois, des enquêtes publiques ont occupé une place importante dans le débat. Cet article se sert de deux séries de rapports comme point d’entrée pour mieux comprendre, dans une perspective de long terme, la contribution de ces enquêtes au changement. Il montre qu’elles s’inscrivent dans un processus d’institutionnalisation des idées qui a débouché sur l’émergence de récits de politique publique favorables au changement en matière de contrôle externe de la police. L’article comporte deux volets. Le premier met en évidence un processus collectif qui se traduit par l’assemblage d’énoncés définissant le problème et la légitimation d’une solution. Plus généralement, il donne également à voir comment les rapports font eux-mêmes partie des configurations d’écriture influençant les écrits subséquents. Le second volet met en lumière la façon dont deux rapports parachèvent ce processus en proposant des récits de politique publique complets et expose brièvement comment ces derniers ont été repris dans les cadrages mis de l’avant par les acteurs mobilisés en faveur du changement.
A Review: On using ACO Based Hybrid Algorithms for Path Planning of Multi-Mobile Robotics
Authors: Hamad Ibrahim Ismael , Hasan Mohammad S.
Published: November 2020

Abstract-The path planning for Multi Mobile Robotic (MMR) system is a recent combinatorial optimisation problem. In the last decade, many researches have been published to solve this problem. Most of these researches focused on metaheuristic algorithms. This paper reviews articles on Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) and its hybrid versions to solve the problem. The original Dorigo’s ACO algorithm uses exploration and exploitation phases to find the shortest route in a combinatorial optimisation problem in general without touching mapping, localisation and perception. Due to the properties of MMR, adaptations have been made to ACO algorithms. In this review paper, a literature survey of the recent studies on upgrading, modifications and applications of the ACO algorithms has been discussed to evaluate the application of the different versions of ACO in the MMR domain. The evaluation considered the quality, speed of convergence, robustness, scalability, flexibility of MMR and obstacle avoidance, static and dynamic environment characteristics of the tasks.

Published: November 2020

Maturity is one of the most important factors associated with assessing the quality of tomatoes. The aim of this study is to develop a new device to measure the degree of ripeness of tomato fruits based on chlorophyll fluorescence. The results of this method, chlorophyll fluorescence, were compared with those of the widely used colorimeter for this purpose. Botanical variety of tomatoes “Alkazar” was used with different stages of maturity: green, breakers, turning, pink, light red, and red. The results indicated that specific parameters of the slow induction of chlorophyll fluorescence, such as the maximum chlorophyll fluorescence (Fm) and the coefficient of specific photosynthetic activity (Rfd), can be used to classify tomato fruits according to their maturity stage, as efficiently as the hue angle parameter of the color measurements. A correlation coefficient between the hue angle and the slow induction of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters was 0.96 with Fm, and 0.97 with Rfd. Using the hue angle or Fm, the fruits of all six-maturity stages were accurately classified. In conclusion, the developed device method is a non-destructive, innovative, convenient, and less time-consuming than the color-based method.
Getting the wind knocked out of him – Report of a broncho-cutaneous fistula caused by staphylococcal pneumonia, and review of literature
Authors: Manglani Ravi , Ahmed Osama , Eshaghian Shahryar , Basir Riyad
Published: November 2020

A broncho-cutaneous fistula (BCF) refers to the formation of an abnormal fistulous connection between the tracheobronchial tree and the cutaneous surface of skin. A rare occurrence in and of itself, the disease entity may have varied etiologies, and may or may not be associated with a broncho-pleural fistula. We describe a case of a young patient who developed a BCF as a complication of a necrotizing pneumonic process, and his subsequent clinical course. In so doing, we review the clinical features of this peculiar disease entity, analyzing the available medical literature similarities in etiology and variations in management strategies described in the literature thus far.

Change management and cultural factors: A study of German and Chinese middle-managers’ behaviour in Sino-German automobile joint ventures.
Authors:   , Yilmaz Ayse
Published: November 2020

Purpose and objective: The study sought to establish a conceptual framework model (Figure 12, p. 104) for, and to make recommendations for automobile producing companies involved in a Sino-German joint venture based in China. The objective of this thesis was to understand the perspectives of German and Chinese middle managers working in a cross-cultural environment to enhance their collaborative work. My aim was to add to knowledge of decision-making processes in this context and to assist middle managers with understanding cultural differences in order to reduce staff resistance to change. Design and methodology: The study follows a constructivist philosophy and was conducted according to a descriptive qualitative method, using semi-structured interviews with German and Chinese middle managers working together in the same department in Beijing. The key literature that underpinned the study was based on Albach et al. (2015), Wooldridge et al. (2008) and Ghemawat and Reiche’s (2011) research and concepts. The data obtained were clustered using the Zwicky Box method (Table 5, p. 87; Zwicky, 1969) and a decision matrix (Table 4, p. 86; Lorenz, 2010) to discover the main topics to process as the findings and recommendations. The interview method assisted with the ethical obligation to maintain anonymity, which was essential as the interview partners were sources of in-depth information required to develop the practice-based framework for middle managers. Findings: My findings concern matters such as cultural differences, language issues, hierarchical structures, compliance, relationship-building, technical improvements, good management skills, and corporate culture in joint ventures. The need to improve communication and information flow for middle managers by means of a communication model (Figure 12, p. 104) is a significant finding, as are improving cross-cultural qualifications and instituting appropriate hiring practices. Contribution to knowledge and practice: My findings make a significant contribution to the topic of complex cross-cultural collaboration in joint ventures. The research presents an appropriate communication model and establishes a conceptual framework. Research limitations and implications: The implementation of the model in other industries should be the subject of further research, as it has not yet been implemented.
Evolución del miedo al delito y del punitivismo en la población universitaria española a partir de una muestra de estudiantes de Derecho
Authors: Cano Paños Miguel Angel , Calvo  Alba María Ángeles
Published: November 2020

Desde hace unos años la criminología española ha abordado a través de distintos estudios las actitudes punitivas de los ciudadanos. Sin embargo, son contados los trabajos en los que la muestra encuestada estaba formada por población universitaria. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es presentar los resultados de un estudio empírico de corte transversal repetido realizado con estudiantes universitarios matriculados en 1er curso –130 alumnos– y en 4º curso –102 alumnos– del Grado en Derecho en la Universidad de Granada, utilizando para ello una encuesta autoadministrada. En un estudio previo, publicado en el año 2019, los estudiantes de 1er curso encuestados percibían la situación de la delincuencia en España como amenazante y peligrosa, mostrando además unas actitudes punitivas de carácter severo. Tras confrontar esos resultados con los obtenidos con la muestra de 4º curso, se puede observar cómo, en líneas generales, la percepción de la delincuencia, los niveles de miedo al delito y las actitudes punitivas disminuyen, en algunos casos de forma considerable, cuando se compara la muestra de 1er curso con la de 4º. Al mismo tiempo, las mujeres, tanto de 1er curso como de 4º, muestran, en general, unos niveles de miedo al delito y de punitivismo superiores a los existentes en la muestra de sexo masculino.

Plasma-desorption mass spectrometry with ionization of 252Californium fission fragments (252Cf-PD MS) was used to develop an express diagnostic test for bovine leukaemia. The test is based on the mass spectrometric parameters of artificial lipid membranes formed on the gold substrate from the lipid fraction of blood cells (mainly lymphocytes), by the self-assembly technique according to the biomimetic principle. Mass spectrometric analysis of artificial lipid membranes obtained from blood plasma of control and leukemic cattle gave a reliable diagnosis of leukaemia. The basis for the diagnosis were the ionization parameters of the fragmentation of lipid molecules from normal and leukemic cell membranes. In leukemic cell membranes, separate dense areas (rafts) 200 – 300 nm in diameter, saturated with cholesterol and phospholipids, are formed. The number of rafts per unit of cell membrane of leukemic cells significantly exceeded the permitted parameters of normal cell membranes. The increased number of rafts in artificial membranes formed in the membranes of leukemic cells was reliably reflected in mass spectra, due to the 180 – 250% increase in intensity of peaks of cholesterol fragment ions in comparison to control cells.
O ensino de Estatística apresentado nos materiais curriculares dos três primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental
Authors: Martins Priscila Bernardo , Borelli Suzete de Souza , Curi Edda
Published: November 2020

O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar se as atividades propostas no material curricular de Matemática, denominado Caderno do Aluno, do projeto Educação Matemática nos Anos Iniciais (EMAI), dos três primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental, empregado pela Rede Estadual de Ensino de São Paulo, permitem o desenvolvimento da Literacia Estatística dos estudantes. Assim, optou-se pela análise documental na perspectiva de Bardin (2016). Como resultados, foi possível observar que as atividades analisadas contribuem para a promoção do desenvolvimento da Literacia Estatística, por encaminhar os estudantes na compreensão das informações estatísticas, na organização dos dados e na representação de tabelas. Contudo, observou-se que a aquisição da Literacia Estatística requer outras habilidades que as atividades não incentivam tanto — a capacidade de argumentar, a construção e representação de gráficos e tabelas, a apropriação do vocabulário estatístico e a competência de produzir textos acerca de suas interpretações.
Reflective Critical Inquiry on Critical Inquiry:A Critical Ethnographic Dilemma Continued
Authors: Kanpol Barry
Published: November 2020

This manuscript argues that there is an intimate connection between a "critical" ethnographer's personal history and the data collected. The author traces elements in his personal life, such as school, religion, immigration and forms of discrimination, and connects dominant values within the above to the various studies he has conducted over the last decade. The author reflects back on how he may have unconsciously been seeing the everyday experiences of subjects he was studying as a reflection of his own personal experiences at various times in his life - all which relate to forms of institutional and cultural political resistance. The author argues that the educational Left can only be caught in a theoretical and cynical "catch 22" logic if the interpretation of "critical data" remain at the structural level. Moments of joy and emancipatory possibility , the author maintains, becomes a possibility particularly when the critical ethnographer's personal voice is entered into the whole ethnographic picture. That in mind, the author argues that school change on any level of liberation can only occur when the researcher and researched can attain a level of intersubjective compromise, where both their personal voices and relationships to structure are better understood.
European Politics of Citizenship
Authors: Delgado-Moreira Juan
Published: November 2020

During the past five years, the European Union has been trying to sponsor a coming of age of European Identity awareness across national borders. In doing so, EU administration intends to square the circle of European Union as the super nation-state of the nation states of Europe. However prompted or justified by the political or economic context, it is noteworthy to what extent the texts of European statutes and policies lack theoretical alternatives to the territorial and relatively homogeneous state. In order for it not to become a threat perceived by the population in identity terms, the apparently forthcoming idea of European citizenship needs to address the concerns of both traditional and new ethnonational minorities at the state level and underneath. In the light of a global context, the tide of Europeanization is but a particular case of the worldwide extended tension between the two increasing and opposing processes of globalization and particularization. Drawing on methodological and theoretical considerations I explore the conflictive and tangled hierarchies of identity and citizenship. Finally, in regard to the problem of how diverse cultures and identities could relate to the universal idea of democratic citizenship, a proposal that attempts to mediate multiculturalism and Eurocentrism will be drafted.

Istorijski prikaz reformnih pedagoških ideja –
današnji ishodi i dostignuća
Authors: Dzinkic Olja
Published: November 2020

Ovim radom nastoji se prikazati istorijski aspekt reform­nih pedagoških ideja na tlu evropske pedagoške scene sa kraja XIX i tokom XX veka, do reformnih pedagoških ideja danas. Poseban naglasak je usmeren na čitav splet okolnosti i događaja tog perioda, počevši od krize i kritika koje su zadesile „Staru školu”, a potom pojavu pedocentristič­kog pokreta iz kojeg se razvio pokret „Nove škole”. U nastavku teksta raz­matraju se suštinske ideje i novine različitih slobodnih, odnosno alter­nativnih škola proizašlih iz ovog pokreta. Dakle, cilj je sagledati reformne pedagoške ideje, pokrete i pravce koji su se pojavili i ostavili dubok trag u razvoju evropske pedagogije. Teorijskom analizom i proučava­njem pitanja njihovog uticaja na današnju pedagošku scenu, pokazuje se da su progresivne i reformne pedagoške ideje sa početka XX veka zastupale filozofiju nastave za koju se danas zauzima konstruktivistička pedago­gija. Takođe, razmatranjem obrazovne scene u Srbiji zaključuje se da je dosta toga promenjeno u „Staroj školi”, ali i da su danas u XXI veku ostala otvorena brojna pitanja u organizaciji „Nove škole”.

Social distance has been the subject of numerous research papers; the issue of researching social distance toward Roma is especially important. There are several aims of our study. The basic goal of the research is to determine the existence and intensity of social distance towards Roma held by primary school students. The specific goal of the research is to determine the differences in the presence of social distance held by students who often interact with Roma children, as well as those who rarely interact with them. The research sample consisted of 152 participants (71 fourth-grade students and 81 eighth-grade students; 85 boys and 67 girls). The Bogardus’s Scale, modified for children, was used for researching the social distance. Furthermore, the research implied two focus groups for the qualitative data to be obtained. The results showed the existance of social distance toward Roma students. Furthermore, according to this data, the least desirable relationship was sitting in the same school bench with Roma children, whereas the most acceptable relationship was going to the same school with Roma. Moreover, it was established that students having more relationships with Roma had lower social distance toward them as well. Qualitative data analysis shows higher level of negative stereotypes and attitudes toward Roma. It is essential to combine quantitative and qualitative measures for the purpose of getting the unbiased description of social distance toward Roma.
BAJKA KAO JEZIČKI PREDLOŽAK U NASTAVI GRAMATIKE U MLAĐIM RAZREDIMA OSNOVNE ŠKOLE
Authors: Stakic Mirjana
Published: November 2020

The paper analyses the functionality and illustrates the possibilities of using fairy tales as a language model for teaching grammar in lower elementary school. The exami­nation of the functionality of fairy tales as a language model is based on a theoreti­cal analysis of their genre characteristics, their influence on the development of student per­sonality and their presence in the junior elementary curricula. The results indicate that this literary form is familiar and interesting to students, as well as that it has a significant aesthetic, cognitive and educational potential, which is why it belongs among prescribed content for the second, third and fourth grade of elementary school. Application possi­bilities described in the paper show that both the folktale and literary fairy tale may be used as a language model to teach grammar throughout lower elementary school. The main advantage of these models lies in the fact that a language phenomenon is placed in a context both familiar and interesting to the student. The results mentioned above sug­gest that fairy tales used as a language model not only enable us to achieve intra-cur­ricular correlation, but to motivate students to adopt grammar content as well.

Honeybee Apis mellifera adansonii, dominant honey producing species in Nigeria was subjected to genetic variability studies using Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) in other to provide the baseline data in Nigeria. Nine (9) Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) primers were used to assess the genetic diversity in Two (2) worker bees each collected from 22 colonies found in the four apiaries in Ijebu environs of Ogun State. Data collected were subjected to analysis and results showed that six (6) out of nine primers produced 80 reproducible, polymorphic bands while the remaining three (3) were monomorphic. Gene diversity (H ) in total population and magnitude of differentiation among T populations (FST) was 0.430 and 0.340, respectively. Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) partitioned the total genetic variation as 70% within, 30% among populations. The cluster analysis showed that Ipari-Oke 3 and Odo-Epo 1-8 populations diverged from others which showed they are closer in genetic distances while Ipari-Oke 1 and Odo-Epo 2-5 were newly observed subcluster which represents another subspecies. In conclusion, genetic variations existed amongst the honey worker bees populations in Ogun State.

Published: November 2020

In this paper, vibration of beam subjected to moving force and moving mass is considered. Finite Fourier Sine transform with method of undetermined coefficient is used to solve the governing partial differential equation of order four. It was found that the response amplitude increases as the mass of the load increases for the case of moving mass while the response amplitude for the case of moving mass is not affected by increase in mass of the load. Also analysis shows that the response amplitude for the case of moving force is greater than that of moving  mass.

Published: November 2020

The presence of Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli in beef and beef products is of public health importance. Therefore, the current study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of E. coli serotype O157:H7 from raw beef collected from  Abeokuta. Meat samples from selected abattoir and open beef omarket in Abeokuta were aseptically collected into sterile peptone water, incubate at 37C for 24 hours and subcultured on MacConkey agar. The bacteria isolated were identified using standard method and owere cultured on Sorbitol MacConkey agar, incubated at 37C for 24hrs. Serological test was performed using O157:H7 polyvalent and monovalent anti-E. coli O and H sera. The presence of Shiga toxin 1 and 2 was detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction method. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out using disk diffusion technique. Out of the 100 samples collected 60% yielded lactose fermenting colonies identified biochemically as E. coli, 43.3% from the abattoirs and 56.7% were from the open market. Only 3.3% of the Escherichia coli were non-Sorbitol fermenter and were confirmed as Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 serologically, 1.7% carries the Stx 1 gene. The E. coli were resistant to Augmentin 95% and Cefuroxime 83.3%, Gentamycin 20%, Ofloxacin 21.7%, Ciprofloxacin 26.7%, Cefixime 38.3% and Ceftazidime 43.3%. The isolates that possessed Stx 1 gene were resistant to all the antibiotics tested. The meat samples in the abattoir and open market were contaminated with E coli which contain enterohaemorrhagic strains producing shiga toxin 1 (Stx 1) and were highly resistant to antibiotics.

Studies have implicated intake of monosodium glutamate (MSG) in fibroid development, but reports on the correlation between dyslipidemia and fibroid induction with an intake of MSG are inconsistent. This study investigates the risk of dyslipidemia in MSG intake and the therapeutic effect of administration of Phyllanthus amarus. Forty adult female Wistar rats randomize to 5 groups of 8 rats each were used.  MSG was administered continuously to groups 2-5 at 200 mg/Kg body weight for 28 days.   After 28 days, blood was withdrawn from rats in groups1, 2 and 3after anaesthetizing with diethyl ether. They were then sacrificed and the uterus, kidney and liver excised. MSG administrations were later discontinued in the remaining groups of rats, and P. amarus leaves extract was administered daily to group 4. Treatments were later continued for the next 28 days after which the rats were sacrificed.  Total cholesterol   (TC), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c), High-density lipoprotein (HDL-c), triglyceride, artherogenic (AI) and coronary risk index (CRI), glucose and total protein were then determined in the serum.  The organs were also weighed, and the uterus was used for histopathology studies. Results indicate that serum cholesterol, LDL-c, triglycerides, API, CRI and glucose were raised with MSG administration whereas; HDL-c was reduced. Co-administration of P. amarus with MSG prevented these alterations. Withdrawal of MSG without treatment and administration of P. amarus after MSG administration also reduced the cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, AI and CRI.  Although the final body weights and uterine weight ratio were increased with MSG administration and co-administration of P. amarus with MSG prevented these alterations, no observable difference was observed in the histology of the uterine tissues. The study suggests that MSG administration is positively correlated with dyslipidemia and uterine toxicity.   Results also show that co-administration of P. amarus with MSG may offer protection against these metabolic changes

Published: November 2020

The use of coffee as a beverage is a widespread practice all over the world. However, the adverse effects of caffeine is a challenge for consumers, hence the need for development of coffee substitutes. This study explored the proximate, free-radical scavenging (DPPH) and sensory properties of coffee substitute developed from seeds of Adansonia digitata L.  and Phoenix dactylifera L. Seeds were processed into coffee through drying, roasting and milling. Analytical procedures were carried out following standard procedures. Sensory properties of the two coffee substitutes were compared to that of a commercial coffee. Baobab coffee had significantly higher (p<0.05) ash, protein, fat, fiber and carbohydrate content than those from date palm seeds. While the normal coffee scored higher in aroma and flavor compared to the coffee substitutes, the overall acceptability of baobab coffee was comparable to that of normal coffee. In conclusion, these coffee substitute have nutritional benefits and are acceptable by consumers. However, further technological developments are required to improve the aroma and flavor to a level comparable to that true coffee.

Densidade urbana e urbanismo paramétrico
Authors: Cavalcanti Isabella , Normando Macêdo Barros Filho Mauro
Published: November 2020

O desconhecimento e a pouca aplicação de ferramentas computacionais para visualizar índices urbanísticos dificultam que planejadores e gestores possam compreender os possíveis impactos desses índices na forma e ocupação do solo urbano e, consequentemente, produzem cidades que não atendem aos princípios de sustentabilidade e urbanidade. Diante da pluralidade de sentidos e aplicações, o uso da densidade urbana como índice deve ser muito bem explicitado nas normativas e fruto de estudos concretos. Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa centrada na construção de um código computacional voltado para simulação de índices urbanísticos que tratam de densidade urbana, por meio do desenvolvimento de um algoritmo no software paramétrico Rhinoceros3D e no plug-in Grasshopper. O objetivo geral é desenvolver um sistema computacional para realizar experimentações e previsões de parâmetros que ordenam a ocupação do solo urbano. A partir dos cenários resultantes das simulação e a automação dos dados relativos à densidade urbana, pôde-se perceber que a inserção de tecnologias computacionais podem contribuir significativamente no processo de busca por melhores projetos e gestões urbanas
A cidade contemporânea é histórica

Published: November 2020

O avanço dos recursos tecnológicos na era digital tem favorecido os estudos urbanos em termos de ferramentas e metodologias cada vez mais apuradas para a compreensão dos fenômenos contemporâneos, dentre elas as técnicas de geoprocessamento em plataformas SIG (Sistemas de Informação Geográfica). A ampliação desmesurada de informação para os estudos urbanos suscita uma reflexão sobre instrumentos metodológicos na era digital. Partindo do pressuposto que a cidade contemporânea é histórica, e portanto, um acúmulo materializado de idealizações passadas, busca-se evidenciar a relevância da análise morfológica e do instrumental da história urbana potencializado por tecnologias digitais, para a compreensão da cidade contemporânea em sua complexidade, reconhecendo sua historicidade, a partir de seu processo urbano. Para demonstrar o potencial da articulação entre a cartografia digital em plataforma SIG e as abordagens clássicas da morfologia urbana, adota-se como objeto empírico a Área Central da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, selecionando casos de áreas tensionadas pelos vestígios de projetos realizados no século XX, para refletir sobre as possibilidades da cartografia digital na decodificação do emaranhado de projetos e desígnios que deram origem ao palimpsesto urbano que estrutura a Área Central Carioca.

Saint Anthim of Iberia was one of the most cultured people of his time. He is a creator of a whole epoch in Wallachian and, in general, Romanian history. A highly learned metropolitan, he was also one the greatest Orthodox theologians of the time, a master of morality and doctrine, and finally a wise politician, who played a great role in the very complex social, political and cultural life of the Wallachian Principality. He harshly criticized the illiteracy and the greed of clergy, Eastern Patriarchs’ craving for wealth and power, and he relentlessly denounced the corruptness and the moral degradation of the ruling classes. His efforts to ally with Russia to liberate Wallachia from the Ottoman yoke led him to conflict with his great contemporary, Constantin Brâncoveanu, and then, even more gratingly, with the Voevoda Nicholas Mavrocordatos (1716-1730), described by some historians of the time as unwaveringly loyal to the Ottomans. The Phanariote Nicholas Mavrokordatos, who was only interested in the Ottoman Empire, replaced the Wallachian princes. Mavrokordatos was suspicious of Metr. Antimos and ordered the metropolitan to resign. Mavrokordatos appealed to Patriarch Jeremiah after Metr. Antimos refused to do so. The Patriarch convened a council of bishops, without any Romanian representation, that condemned the metropolitan to anathema and excommunication. Not satisfied in a finding that denied Metr. Antimos his title of Metropolitan of Hungro-Wallachia, Mavrokordatos order the metropolitan to exile to St. Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai. On September 14, 1716, while en route to his place of exile, Metr. Antimos was ambushed by Turkish soldiers on the bank of the Tundzha River, near Gallipoli, as it flowed through Adrianople, and butchered him. Then, they threw his remains into the river. This brutal action ended the earthly life of a great man who had dedicated his strength, talent, and knowledge to the revival and strengthening of Orthodox Christianity among the people of Wallachia. The faithful Romanian people, considering, from the beginning, the sentence of defrocking as unjust and illegal, not only never stopped honoring Anthim the Iberian as chief priest also after his abusive defrocking, but with the passage of time increased their acts of piety and honor, considering him one of the most worthy hierarchs who pastored the Romanian Orthodox Church and a martyr, who sacrificed his life, with dignity, for the Orthodox faith and for the freedom and independence of the Motherland, which, since his adoption, he served as the most devoted and loving son.
Proposed Method for Supplier Selection

The use of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is frequent in supplier selection. First, AHP is a pairwise comparison between criteria. If the pairwise comparisons are inconsistent, the result is invalid. Thus, the process of comparing criteria must be repeated continuously until valid results are obtained. This process takes time and costs so it is considered inefficient. This research proposes the application of the Hamilton chain process into the pairwise comparison matrix. One criterion is symbolized as a knot, while the arc is symbolized as the pairwise comparison value between the two nodes or the connected criterion. In the network model of the AHP method, each node is connected to all other nodes without exception. Whereas in the proposed method, each criterion or node is compared only once. That said, avoiding inconsistencies can be made. The consistency ratio result of the proposed method is found to be consistent

REVISITING THE SO-CALLED CONTRADICTION BETWEEN JAMES AND PAUL ON JUSTIFICATION
Authors: Djuandy Johan
Published: November 2020

Sudah sejak lama para ahli memperdebatkan apakah terdapat kontradiksi antara pengajaran Yakobus bahwa seseorang dibenarkan karena perbuatannya dan bukan hanya karena iman dengan pengajaran Paulus bahwa seseorang dibenarkan semata-mata oleh iman. Banyak proposal yang telah diajukan untuk mencoba mendamaikan apa yang terlihat seperti inkonsistensi ini. Salah satu solusi yang paling populer adalah teori bahwa Yakobus dan Paulus mempunyai konsep atau makna yang berbeda ketika memakai kata “pembenaran.” Tetapi analisis yang komprehensif terhadap Surat Yakobus dan penggunaan kata “pembenaran” dalam surat-surat Paulus memperlihatkan bahwa teori ini tidak mempunyai dasar yang kuat. Makalah ini menyajikan suatutinjauan kembali terhadap isu ini dengan menganalisis konteks Yakobus 2:14-26 dan mengaitkannya dengan konteks dan tema-tema teologis penting yang terdapat dalam Surat Yakobus secara keseluruhan. Pengertian terhadap Surat Yakobus secara holistik akan memperlihatkan bahwa Yakobus sama sekali tidak berkontradiksi dengan Paulus dalam isu pembenaran ini.

Phymatotrichopsis omnivora es un hongo que ocasiona la pudrición de la raíz siendo considerada una de las más serias enfermedades de las plantas debido al amplio rango de hospedantes que afecta, lo que conlleva a grandes pérdidas económicas. Son varios factores son que influyen en el desarrollo de la enfermedad y la sintomatología puede variar de planta a planta. Este hongo coloniza primeramente las células corticales y forma una red que cubre la superficie de las raíces, bloqueando el sistema vascular así como el movimiento del agua en la planta. Los métodos de control químico son costosos y poco eficientes, por lo que se buscan otros métodos como la utilización de plantas resistentes, la aplicación de organismos antagonistas, o el uso de ciertos extractos vegetales, los cuales han demostrado tener cierta actividad en el control de este patógeno.

This research shows that maqashid syariah approach or islamic philosophy of law can be seen as have an significant contribution: how to relate religion and Pancasila as the common ground Indonesia nicely. Maqashid syariah has five primer aims (al-dharûriyyât al-khamsah) which are very significant over the literary reading (Al-Qur’an). These five primer aims can be regarded as the blue-print which guide us to see how is the relation religion and Pancasila are should be understood.

Hubungan agama dan Pancasila sering dilihat bertentangan padahal sesungguhnya tidak demikian, akar persoalannya bermula tidak tersedianya piranti untuk mengaitkan hubungan keduanya secara proporsional. Penelitian ini memperlihatkan pendekatan maqashid syariah atau filsafat hukum Islam berkontribusi signifikan dalam melihat Pancasila sebagai dasar negara Indonesia. Pendekatan maqashid mengatasi pembacaan literalis yang sering mengaitkan ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an dengan Pancasila. Maqashid syariah memiliki tujuan primer (al-dharûriyyât khamsah) yang jauh lebih prinsipil dari sekedar pendekatan tekstualis bunyi teks Al-Qur’an. Tujuan primer ini dapat dijadikan panduan atau pendekatan dalam membaca dan memahami Pancasila secara memadahi.

Urgensi Pemikiran Syams Al-Aimmah Al-Syarakhsi Tentang Al-Istihsan dalam Menjawab Problematika Hukum dalam Masyarakat
Authors: Hanafi Syawaluddin

Abstract

This research try to raise the perspective of Islamic law answering the problems in society by using the Al-Istihsan method of Syams Al-Aimmah Al-Syarakhsi. The complexity of the existing regulations has not been able to answer the problems in society, so we need a way to find the law. This research is a qualitative research with a conceptual approach with data collection methods obtained through the work of Syams Al-Aimmah Al-Syarakhsi and literature that discusses about Istihsan. The results of this study found that; First, Istihsan can be used as a argument for syariah because istihsan does not stipulate law with analogy, istihsan is a method of legal istinbath that can be accounted for because it is based on a strong foundation (sanad); Second, after describing istihsan in ushul fiqih in the view of the Hanafi school, it can be said that in essence istihsan is one of the efforts of the mujtahid to find a way out of the power of general principles or qiyas to aparticular problem in order to find legal provisions that are more in accordance with The soul and spirit of the Shariah, because indeed the texts cannot be understood only in language but also understood by using the broad logic of making shari'a (Al-Mantiq Al-tasyri'i) which gives the mujtahid the opportunity to realize the will of Al Shariah.

Keywords: Al-Syarakhsi, Istihsan, Law, Society.

 

Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengangkat perspektif hukum Islam dalam menjawab masalah-masalah yang muncul di tengah masyarakat dengan menggunakan pemikiran Syams Al-Aimmah Al-Syarakhsi tentang Al-Istihsan. Kompleksitas regulasi yang ada ternyata belum mampu menjawab problematika ditengah masyarakat sehingga dibutuhkan cara untuk menemukan hukumnya. Penilitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan konseptual dengan metode pengumpulan data yang diperoleh melalui karya Syams Al-Aimmah Al-Syarakhsi dan literatur yang membahas tentang Istihsan.

Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa; Pertama, Istihsan dapat di jadikan sebagai dalil syara’ karena istihsan itu bukan menetapkan hukum dengan ra’yi semata, istihsan itu merupakan suatu cara istinbath hukum yang dapat di pertanggung jawabkan karena di dasarkan kepada sandaran (sanad) yang kuat; Kedua, Setelah diuraikan istihsan dalam ushul fiqih dalam pandangan madzhab Hanafi maka dapat dikatakan bahwa pada hakikatnya istihsan itu merupakan salah satu upaya mujtahid untuk mencari jalan keluar dari kekuatan kaidah umum atau qiyas terhadap suatu masalah juz’i dalam rangka mencari ketentuan hukum yang lebih sesuai dengan jiwa dan ruh syari’at, karena memang nash tidak bisa di pahami hanya secara bahasa semata tetapi harus di pahami dengan menggunakan logika pembuatan syariat (Al-Mantiq Al-tasyri’i) yang luas yang memberikan kesempatan kepada mujtahid untuk merealisasikan kehendak Al syari’ semaksimal mungkin.
