Progress of Photobiomodulation for Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Tsai Chung Min
Published: August 2022

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with global burden. The mechanisms and therapeutic effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) correspond to main mechanisms in the pathogenesis of PD. Numerous research results applying PBM for PD were published during the past two decades. Although several systematic review or review articles provided complete introduction, they are either mainly basic research or clinical research, and the year of the article publication is up to 2020. Comprehensive systematic review or review articles containing basic and clinical studies including those published articles is lacking. Hence, this systematic review aimed to include both basic and clinical studies published up to 2022. Results were obtained by retrieving articles from PubMed with the intersection of the articles derived from the terms of PBM synonyms and Parkinson’s disease followed by exclusion. Sixty-nine articles were included ultimately. Among them, 40 original articles were identified, which were composed of 31 basic research and 9 original articles of clinical research. Twenty-one review articles, a systematic review with focused content on PD, and 7 review articles with the term PD under general illustration of PBM were presented. Mechanisms regarding the therapeutic effects of PBM on the vitro studies were reviewed. Positive outcomes on motor symptoms after PBM treatments were shown in most in vivo and clinical studies. The immunohistochemical examination of in vivo studies reflect the therapeutic effects of PBM on the preservation even reverse of the pathogenic insults of PD on the in vitro studies. The most frequently used wavelength among original articles included was 670nm. Considering the acceptability of PBM for patients with PD, noninvasive transcranial PBM (tPBM) had crucial roles in respect to invasive intracerebral PBM. To match the penetration depth reaching deep brain target, Substantia nigra pars compacta, in human brains of patients with PD, the wavelength 810nm might match the need in the clinical setting of tPBM. More future clinical studies were needed. In conclusion, therapeutic approaches applying PBM for PD are promising. Recent studies revealed positive outcomes. Future clinical practices containing PBM are to be expected.

Published: August 2022

Many of the modern medications used in dentistry are responsible for known side effects. Herbal therapies are used worldwide to treat health conditions. Therefore, besides conventional treatment methods, herbal agents have been extensively entered oral care products in recent years in function of its interesting medical and physicochemical characteristics. Dentistry has begun to exploit herbal properties for the purpose of relieving tooth pain, gum inflammation, and canker sores. Lots of manufacturers use herbal ingredients in their products to provide additional therapeutic characteristics. Natural bio characteristics, lower costs, availability and low rate of adverse effects have been factors in the choice of herbal medicines compared to conventional medicines. Dentists are interested in plant products whose agents have antiseptics, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, and analgesic actions. However, it is of utmost importance to understand the interactions of plant extracts with the body and other medications.

Authors:   Great Zimbabwe University, Mtombeni Niya , Matiza Vimbai M. ,   Midlands State University
Published: August 2022

The first few years of British occupation in Zimbabwe was characterised by power struggle between the indigenous population groups who were dissatisfied with systematic settler style of dispossessing them of their wealth and power. The result was local and regional wars, (Rebellions/Uprisings/ Umvhukela/ 1st Chimurenga). After the war, the British South African Company (BSAC) documented and memorialised most prominent battles of the conflict and yet the indigenous people who could not read and write could not do the same. The article seeks to motivate Zimbabweans to recognise the participation of the indigenous people into this conflict as a historic event whose documentation and memorialisation is an important component of the liberation heritage of Zimbabwe. The documentation and memorialisation of the conflict by the other belligerent is enough authentication that the indigenous people staged a brave and heroic fight which doubtlessly was characterised by commitment to a genuine cause of the black people to protect their birth right. It is only the inability to read and write of our ancestry which has mandated us to accept the description of the era as a dark history, which is worthy documentation and memorialisation for the benefit of the present and future generation. The researchers employed qualitative research method of acquiring data through desktop research and observation techniques. The article came to conclusion that the war between Zimbabwe and the then Rhodesia and their opponents should be documented so as to assist the present generation appreciate the history of the nation and preserve their heritage

Published: August 2022

With the prosperity of the financial market, more and more people are involved in securities trading. How to combine investment in bitcoin and gold to achieve the highest profit is one of the issues that market traders think about. To solve this problem, we build a model that predicts future prices in order to better help investors. We constructed an ARIMA model through differential stationarity processing, AEC, white noise test and other methods, and used the data of the current day and the previous day to predict the price of the next day. At the same time, we use the model to predict the average for the next N days. If it is predicted that the price of the asset will decrease in the future, it will be sold on the same day. If the price of the asset will increase in the future, and the income obtained is greater than the transaction cost and the expected income of the investor, the purchase will continue until the end. Last until the last day $323841.52. Finally, it can be verified that the accuracy of the ARIMA model is the highest by comparing other mainstream machine learning models. In other words, the ARIMA model is the best strategy for this problem.

Authors: Tao Xintong , Yan Zhuo
Published: August 2022

Since the 21st century, the relationship between China and Japan has been in a very delicate situation. People's attitudes and views towards Japan and the development of bilateral relations have always been different. Therefore, changes in China-Japan relations have always affected the hearts of the people of the two countries. Few countries in the world have such complex "love and hate" as China and Japan. Under the general trend of globalization, whether China Japan relations can develop smoothly not only affects the economic trend of East Asia, but also relates to the stability of the whole world situation. Therefore, China Japan relations have become one of the important issues in the strategic layout of China's international relations and a key link in build a community of shared future for mankind and achieve shared and win-win development. This paper analyzes the development of China and Japan from an economic perspective, which can better show the changing process of the relationship between the two countries. In the era of complex and volatile COVID-19, through economic cooperation and trade exchanges to promote the development of bilateral relations, and seize the opportunities of globalization, we can be prepared to meet future challenges.
Roman Law as Ius Commune in East Central Europe: the Example of the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen
Authors: Petrak Marko
Published: August 2022

The aim of the chapter is to analyze the significance and role of Roman law as ius commune in East Central Europe (Ostmitteleuropa) from the Middle Ages up until today. The notion of East Central Europe will be pragmatically exemplified for the purposes of this contribution within the context of the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen. This territory was and is ‘the very heart’ of East Central Europe, as it comprises, in their entirety or partly, the following present-day states: Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, Austria, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Ukraine. The centrality and importance of the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen within East Central Europe also guarantee that the experience of Roman law as ius commune in these territories is not unimportant and has a certain level of paradigmaticity. The most important source of traditional pre-1848 law in the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen was undoubtedly the Tripartitum (1514), which represents one of the milestones of East Central Europe’s legal tradition and culture. Despite the explicit declaration that Roman law and canon law are the very basis of the law of Archiregnum Hungaricum (omnia fere iura regni huius originaliter ex pontificiis caesareique iuris fontibus progressum habeant), this legal collection was, in reality, a compilation of customary law and a powerful legal practice forming work that hindered any major legal transfer. Regardless of the fact that European ius commune was not a direct source of law in the pre-1848 period, there were definitely some ‘channels’ through which Roman legal tradition exerted a considerable influence and impact in the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen (e.g., procedural law manuals like Kitonich’s Directio Methodica and the inclusion of Digesta 50, 17 in Corpus Iuris Hungarici), creating the phenomenon called tacita receptio. Only since the second half of the 19 th century onward has Hungarian judicial practice and doctrine – due to the withering away of feudal relations and consecutive failed attempts to pass a modern national civil code – gradually elevated Roman private law in the form of ius commune to the level of a subsidiary source of law. The last part of the contribution deals with the role and significance of Roman law as ius commune in the former Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen in the last hundred years, emphasizing that a possible wider scope of the application of the ius commune rules in the national judicial practice, especially in the form of regulae iuris, would not just represent a nostalgic quest for the hidden treasure of the European legal tradition but rather a part of a long-term creative effort toward the non-legislative Europeanization of the contemporary legal orders on the firm foundations of the common legal culture.

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT
Background :- Electricity has become an integral part of our lives in todays era of technology . Electrical burn injuries comprise a low fraction of the entire burn admissions but they are potentially a mutilating type. The aim of this study is to know the demographic pattern of electric burn cases in our region, along with the morbidity and management of electric burn injuries in a tertiary centre of central india.
Methods :- This was a retrospective study conducted by reviewing the medical records of all burn admissions from July 2017 to June 2019 and data was analysed for demographic characteristics and outcomes and patterns of electric burn injury
Results :- Out of 26 total electric burn cases, maximum cases (65.38%) were adult above 20 years of age. Having male to female ratio of 3.5:1 , most of them belonged to rural place. (84.61%) Of all the cases studied,maximum were of High Voltage (>1000 V) Injury 61.53%, encountered mostly in outdoors and at work places.Hand (50%) was the commonest part to be affected. 61.53% of all affected individuals had to undergo a surgical intervention of which 50% underwent debridement, with a mean hospital stay of 27.08+/-12.09 days for high voltage injuries
Conclusions:- Electrical injuries are generally preventable. This epidemiological study on the patients of electric burn suggests that most of the human and economic losses caused by the accidents leading to electric burn injuries were young males, hailing from rural areas and suffered high voltage burns, which could have been prevented by implementation of safety measures at work place. Hence general education regarding safety measures while using the electricity should be given in primary schools itself. High voltage electrical transmission cables should be placed underground.
Diabetes an the hidden foe

Published: August 2022

There is a complex connection between diabetes mellitus and pancreatic carcinoma, whereby it has been a target of many studies. The new-onset diabetes may be a symptom caused by occult pancreatic cancer, but the most important question remains when to think about it. We present a case report of a 72-year-old female with a new-onset diabetes mellitus, initially diagnosed with no associated complications. However, a few months later, glycemic index was uncontrolled despite optimized therapy. It led to further study and a pancreatic carcinoma was discovered. With this case we intend to raise awareness that new-onset diabetes could be a hint for a hidden disease, especially when glycemic index is difficult to control despite optimized therapy. For that reason, physicians must be aware of the intrinsic relationship between diabetes and pancreatic carcinoma.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Is still Relevant in the 21st Century
Authors: Dar Showkat Ahmad , Sakthivel Dr. P.
Published: August 2022

You may be familiar with Maslow. Possibly even a fan. Alternately, you may stop listening the instant a psychologist starts spitting forth a theory. If you Google "Maslow" or his "hierarchy of wants," you'll likely see a colourful pyramid as the result. But given that this particular thinker passed away fifty years ago, what does it signify and can it really still be applicable? The present demands and the benefits of the system have altered significantly in the more than 70 years since the renowned psychologist launched his theory. Even after all this time, it's still important to think about whether Maslow's hierarchy of needs is still true. If you don't already know, in a nutshell, Maslow thought that people's needs can be neatly grouped into five categories. Each category comes into play once the needs in the previous category have been met. Greg Stocker, a Lean Advisor, says that Maslow never really talked about the hierarchy in terms of a pyramid. Instead, the diagram was made much later to make the theory clear. The goal of the study is to see how well Maslow's hierarchy of needs still works in the 21st century. For the study to come to a conclusion, it used both descriptive and analytical methods. The study also relied heavily on thematic analysis tools and both primary and secondary data sources to achieve its goals in a qualitative way.

The paper is an effort to discuss some important aspects of women's empowerment in India and how the nursing profession is the flag bearer of women's journey to financial independence. In the past few decades’ women are the center of policies globally women. Women are more vocal than ever before about their equal share in social security, gender equity, and health. Women empowerment, in other words, is a way of conquering obstacles and increasing the ability to achieve acceptance and take an active part in decision-making related to her and their families. The lack of educational opportunities for women puts them behind in equal sharing of power and decision makes autonomy. Nursing is the choice of profession for women in India and the majority of nursing professionals are women in India and have a wider acceptance as a reputed profession in Indian society

In search for near-room-temperature superconducting critical temperature of metal superhydrides under high pressure: A review
Authors: Pinsook U
Published: August 2022

An overview and the latest status of the superconductivity of metal superhydrides under high pressure are discussed in this review article. The searching for near-room-temperature superconductors have been one of the most enthusiastic fields in physics. This is because of several key factors in both theoretical and experimental sides. By advanced experiment innovation, pressure exceeded that of the earthâ€™s core can be generated in laboratories. This allows scientists to explore new physics of materials under high pressure. In the synergy form, the theoretical calculation gives accountable predictions on the structural and electronic properties which can be served as a practical map for experimentalists. In this review, I also give a brief overview on the existing theory of superconductivity which leads to the calculation of the superconducting critical temperature, Tc. The key element for calculating TcÂ is stemmed from the so-called spectral function, which can now be evaluated from the density functional theory. In order to obtain insight information and gain deeper understanding, I model the spectral function with a simple constant function. This analysis gives a powerful suggestion on the way to search for a higher value of Tc.
Experimental and numerical investigation of the influence of temperature on the fracture behavior of high impact polystyrene evaluated by the J-integral approach using multiple specimen method
Authors: El Bhilat H , Hachim A , Salmi H , El Had K
Published: August 2022

The aim of the present work is to study the mechanical behavior in fracture of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) subjected to tensile tests under the effect of temperature to determine the R-curves. The theory of the J-integral contour has been used for the development of a characterization method of the fracture strength appropriate to the case of this non-linear elastoplastic polymer material. To this end, we used the method of multiple specimens (Single edge notch tension SENT) of thin thickness; we used several identical test pieces containing cracks of the same lengths. The tensile tests were conducted under different temperatures, ranging from 25Â°C to 100Â°C. The results suggested a very temperature-dependent behavior due to significant increase in crack resistance as demonstrated by a comparison of JIC values related to initiation of crack propagation. The fracture energy absorbed as a function of the temperature suggested that the increase of the temperature is marked by the brittle-ductile transition in the material, which we confirmed numerically via a CASTEM software simulation.
Influence of coconut shell powder organic reinforcement on chemical, microstructural and mechanical properties of spark plasma sintered Ti-Ni based metal matrix composite
Authors: Odetola Peter , Popoola Abimbola Patricia , Ajenifuja Emmanuel , Popoola Olawale
Published: August 2022

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are currently used in place of pure alloys and polymer matrix composites because of their unique physical properties. Titanium and nickel powders were alloyed with coconut shell powder (CSP) as organic compound reinforcement to form a TiNi-based metal matrix composite (MMC) using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The powders were mild-milled for 16 h and then axially consolidated at 850°C, heating rate of 100°C.min-1 and 50 MPa sintering pressure. Characterizations were done using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM-EDX) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD). Elemental and structural characterizations of the composites revealed the formation of the Ti-rich eutectic phase, Ni-rich dendrites, and TiNi-rich phase regions with dispersed distributions of carbides and oxide phases within the system. The Ni-rich “islands” appear to be depleted with increased CSP content. However, the relative density, tensile strength and microhardness improved in samples with higher amounts of CSP powder to the optimum values of 99.9%, 1022.91 MPa and 319.71 HV.
Quenched and tempered high strength steel: A review
Authors: Sahoo Gadadhar , Singh Krishna Kumar , Kumar Vinod
Published: August 2022

Quenched and tempered steel are broadly classified as low alloy conventional grades with C content of 0.15-0.40% and tool steels with C content as high as 2% alloyed with strong carbide forming elements such as Cr, V, Mo etc. in the range of 1-12%. In both the cases, steels are used in hardened/quenched and tempered or auto tempered condition for improved toughness, strength and wear resistance. The C content and tempering temperature are optimized based on desired application. However, achieving high strength/hardness along with adequate toughness is a challenge. The chemistry design is one of the important parts of developing these grades. The judicious amount of hardenability elements like Mn, Cr, Mo, B etc. are added for achieving required as quenched hardness while excess addition of these elements will not be cost effective. Optimized austenite grain size before quenching is also key to achieve hardenability as well as toughness. All these points have been reviewed systematically in this paper for the first time as there is no such review available covering all aspect of quenched and tempered grade. Unlike text books or any past review articles, this is a systematic review of quenched and tempered steel which will help in designing suitable chemistry and process parameters for producing different grades of quenched and tempered steel in industrial scale.

Published: August 2022

Pasca reformasi kehidupan bangsa indonesia menghadapi tantangan merebaknya politik identitas yang mengedepankan golongan atau symbol tertentu guna mendapatkan pengaruh politik. Apabila hal ini dibiarkan akan mengganggu ketahanan nasional dan kualitas demokrasi di indonesia. Fenomena ini perlu dicari solusinya, agar keran demokrasi yang ada dapat dipergunakan dengan sesuai koridor hukum di indonesia. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan kajian strategik jangka panjang tentang pengaruh politik identitas terhadap demokrasi di indonesia. Kajian ini menggunakan metode analisis kritis/deskriptif yang dilakukan melalui proses Focus Group Discussion (FGD), berbagai sumber kepustakaan (studi literatur) dan Round Table Discussion (RTD). Kemunculan politik identitas mencerminkan belum tercapainya transformasi masyarakat menuju masyarakat yang demokratis. Demokrasi masih bersifat “eksklusif” dan “transaksional”, belum “transformasional". Belum mengakarnya ideologi Partai Politik di masyarakat mengakibatkan masyarakat tidak memiliki preferensi pasti dalam memilih, sehingga partai politik saat ini selain menggunakan praktek money politics untuk mendulang suara, dan juga menggunakan populisme simbol identitas berbasis “agama” dan “non-agama”. Praktek Politik Identitas secara negatif berpengaruh pada pelaksanaan demokrasi di Indonesia yang masih belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan cita-cita demokrasi. Dalam hal ini pemerintah bersama masyarakat perlu meningkatkan edukasi politik agar tercipta masyarakat yang rasional dan mampu berpartisipasi sesuai koridor demokrasi yang ada di Indonesia.

The synthesized nanowires were confirmed as hexagonal wurtzite GaN by X-ray diffraction, selected-area electron diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectra. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the grown GaN nanowires have a smooth and clean surface with diameters ranging from 40 to 160 nm and lengths typically up to several tens of micrometers. The representative photoluminescence spectrum at room temperature exhibited a strong UV light emission band centered at 363 nm and a relative weak purple light emission peak at 422 nm. The growth mechanism is discussed briefly.

Penelitan ini dimotivasi karena fenomena relatif rendahnya profit bank syariah di Indonesia dibandingkan bank konvensional, disamping itu karena adanya perbedaan hasil penelitian terdahulu mengenai faktor-faktor internal yang mempengaruhi profitabilitas (ROA, ROE, PBT, NNIM). Penelitian ini menggunakan variabel bebas, mederating variable, faktor eksternal), nilai tambah penelitian ini mencoba menganalisis faktor-faktor yang lebih dominan dalam mempengaruhi profitabilitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder dengan teknik purposive sampling sehingga jumlah sampel ada 14 perusahaan bank syariah selama periode 2016-2020. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan faktor internal (ROA,ROE, PBT dan NNIM) merupakan faktor yang lebih kuat pengaruhnya terhadap profitabilitas. dikarenakan variabel yang mendukung lebih banyak dan setelah dilakukan pengujian secara simultan faktor modal, pendanaan, overhead, pembiayaan, margin berpengaruh positif signifikan. Implikasi manajerial dari penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan profitabilitas bank syariah sehingga peran modal, pembiayaan, pendanaan jangka pendek haruslah diperhatikan, yaitu dengan penambahan modal dari pemilik, peningkatan dana pihak ke tiga (DPK), peningkatan pembiayaan, pembuatan produk funding dan lending yang lebih bervariatif dengan margin dan bagi hasil yang lebih kompetitif

Keluarga Berencana (KB) merupakan usaha yang dilakukan pemerintah ataupun individu untuk mengatur kelahiran anak, jarak dan usia ideal melahirkan, mengatur kehamilan dengan menggunakan alat bantu atau metode kontrasepsi. Alat kontrasepsi memang sangat berguna dalam program KB namun tidak semua alat kontrasepsi cocok dengan kondisi setiap orang. Pemilihan kontrasepsi sangat penting, setiap pribadi harus bisa memilih alat kontrasepsi yang cocok untuk dirinya. Penggunaan kontrasepsi suntik meningkat dari 28% pada tahun 2007 menjadi 31,6% pada tahun 2012 dan menjadi 31,9% pada tahun 2017. Beberapa faktor-faktor yang mendukung pemilihan kontrasepsi pada akseptor KB yaitu faktor pribadi meliputi usia, paritas, usia anak terkecil dan kenyamanan metode. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran faktor yang mempengaruhi pemilihan kontrasepsi suntik pada akseptor KB. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi yang digunakan adalah seluruh akseptor KB suntik di Desa Windusari Kecamatan Windusari Kabupaten Magelang sejumlah 30 orang. Sampel yang digunakan adalah total sampling sejumlah 30 responden dengan kriteria usia antara 15-49 tahun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor usia, tidak mempengaruhi 23%, cukup mempengaruhi sebesar 33% dan mempengaruhi sebesar 44%. Faktor paritas tidak mempengaruhi 53%, cukup mempengaruhi 20% dan mempengaruhi sebesar 27%. Faktor usia anak terkecil, tidak mempengaruhi 20%, cukup mempengaruhi 40% dan mempengaruhi 40%. Faktor kenyamanan metode, tidak mempengaruhi 20%, cukup mempengaruhi 37% dan mempengaruhi 43%. Dengan demikian, faktor yang mempengaruhi pemilihan kontrasepsi suntik adalah faktor usia, usia anak terkecil dan kenyamanan metode.

Crime is conduct that disobeys the law and contravenes social norms in a way that society finds objectionable. There is no system that can forecast the kind and quantity of crimes that will happen in the future as a guide in the process of preventing crime, according to the North Tambusai Police. However, the public service process in the form of complaints has been done digitally. Backpropagation is an iterative method that works well even with complex and convoluted data. Backpropagation is an artificial neural network with several levels (multi-layer). Data processing is done on the types and numbers of crimes that took place in North Tambusai District between 2015 and 2020. The first step in the data processing procedure is to normalize the data and choose the network training parameters. Crime data and levels were used in the artificial neural network research, which used a 5-5-1 design. The test results reveal that the average prediction accuracy rate is 92.66%, with the greatest prediction accuracy rate being 99.6% and the lowest forecast accuracy rate being 90.01 percent. Theft had the highest weighting (Curat) of crimes the next year with 15 cases, while fraud, crime, and extortion/threats each had the lowest weighting (1 case). The prediction findings exhibit a sufficiently high level of accuracy to serve as a basis for evaluation.
Law Reform and Law Making (Kajian Batasan Usia Perkawinan)
Authors: Nur Ali

Ketetapan batas usia anak yang terdapat dalam regulasi atau aturan perundang-undangan bervariasi. Demikian pula batas usia berkaitan dengan hak-hak yang diberikan kepada seseorang, ketika ia dianggap mampu atau cakap untuk bertindak di dalam hukum juga bervariasi. Komitmen Indonesia terhadap pemenuhan hak dan perlindungan anak juga tercermin dengan disahkannya beberapa peraturan perundang-undangan. Usia kedewasaan jika seseorang sudah mencapai 18 tahun sesuai Pasal 26 UU No 35 Tahun 2014 tentang Perlindungan Anak (yang mewajibkan orang tua mencegah terjadinya perkawinan anak sampai usia 18 tahun) dan Pasal 131 ayat (2) UU No 36 Tahun 2009 tentang Kesehatan (yang menyebut upaya pemeliharaan kesehatan anak dilakukan sejak anak dalam kandungan, dilahirkan hingga usia 18 tahun). Undang-Undang No.35 tahun 2014 tentang perlindungan anak dan Undang-Undang No.39 tahun 1999 tentang hak asasi manusia, Undang-undang No. 35 Tahun 2014 Tentang Perlindungan Anak sendiri merupakan bentuk konkretisasi dari pelaksanaan Konvensi Hak-hak Anak yang telah diratifikasi oleh Indonesia. Dengan peratifikasian Konvensi Hak-hak Anak berdasarkan keputusan Presiden No. 36 Tahun1990 tentang Pengesahan Convention On The Rights of The Child (Konvensi tentang Hak-hak Anak), maka sejak tahun 1990 tersebut Indonesia terikat secara hukum untuk melaksanakan ketentuan yang termasuk di dalam Konvensi Hak-hak Anak. Menurut data SDKI 2012 ditemukan bahwa pernikahan di usia 15-19 tahun mencapai 12,6%, yang mencakup 6,9 juta anak perempuan dan 28 ribu anak laki-laki. Berdasarkan laporan UNFPA anak perempuan usia 15-19 tahun lebih cenderung mengalami komplikasi pada saat mengandung dan melahirkan. Kehamilan merupakan salah satu faktor utama kematian anak perempuan pada usia 15-19 tahun di dunia. Permohonan uji materiil UU No 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan, khususnya Pasal 7 ayat 1 dan 2 mengenai batas usia perkawinan bagi perempuan ditolak oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi pada Agustus 2015 lalu. Batas diperbolehkannya usia perkawinan pada 16 tahun untuk perempuan berarti negara membolehkan perkawinan pada usia anak.

Published: August 2022

Artikel ini membahas metode imam Dar-Quthni dalam menulis kitab Sunannya. Yang mana kita ketahui bahwa sistematika penulisan kitab sunan identik disusun sesuai dengan bab fiqih. Kitab sunan adalah buku yang memuat banyak hadis tentang hukum yang disusun secara bab fiqih. Dalam kitab sunan ini terdiri dari hadis yang shohih, hasandan dhoif.Dalam menulis kitab sunan itu merujuk pada dalil-dalil yang ada di dalam madzhab Syafi’i dalam sebagian besar permasalahan fiqihiyah dengan jalan menguatkan dalil dan menyebutkan sebab-sebab lemahnya dalil yang bertentangan.Imam Dar-Quthni memberi perhatian khusus pada kitab “sunan” dengan mengumpulkan komentar-komentar dari gurunya. Artinya kitab sunan itu sendiri berisi kumpulan dari komentar 3 gurunnya diantara 8 gurunya itu. Jika meriwayatkan hadis dari salah satu gurunya itu imam Dar-Quthni mencantumkan  komentar dari gurunya itu dengan menggunakan lafadz “qola fulan kadza’” atau, “qola lana fulan kadza”. Ketiga gurunya tersebut yaitu Abu Bakar bin Abi Dawud, Abu Muhammad ibn So’id dan Abu Bakar An-Naisaburi.Imam Dar-Quthni dalam menjelaskan kualitas suatu hadis terkadang dengan jelas mengemukakan derajat hadisnya, terkadang dengan menjelaskan keadaan rowinya.
