Al-Qur’an untuk pedoman umat islam mempunyai perannya cukup tinggi di kalangan para ulama. Ada juga yang berpandangan adanya beberapa ayat dalam Al-Qur'an ada yang bertentangan, sehingga hal ini menimbulkan kajian dari nasikh-mansukh. Namun, kajian ini belum tentu diterima oleh semua ulama atau para ilmuan Al-Qur'an, meski menurut mereka tidak ada revisi di dalam Al- Qur’an. Penelitian ini mencoba membahas kajian nasikh-mansukh baik yang berkaitan dengan pengertian, perbedaan pendapat, pandangan, hingga hikmah menuntut ilmu. Para ulama menggunakan metode kualitatif dari data perpustakaan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa perbedaan pendapat dalam lingkungan keilmuan terjadi karena perbedaan akar permasalahannya. Dengan teori nasikh-mansukh kita dapat memahami mengapa ada ayat-ayat yang secara tekstual tampak kontradiktif.

Published: May 2024

Este artigo tem como proposta problematizar algumas ideias que possam contribuir para o debate sobre o Ensino Médio. Busca discutir essa etapa através das análises de indicadores de rendimento escolar (evasão, repetição e abandono), partindo da realidade nacional para a rede educacional pública no Rio Grande do Sul e suas implicações no município de Sapiranga/RS, com recorte temporal de 2017-2021. Abordando a Emenda Constitucional n° 59/2009 e a Meta 3 do Plano Nacional de Educação-PNE, que versa sobre a universalização do Ensino Médio. Pautando essa etapa como um dos principais desafios da universalização da educação básica, discute as condições existentes nas instituições, as políticas educacionais em curso e os desafios impostos pela realidade social, econômica e política, que implicam no insucesso escolar. Evidenciou-se que a falta de financiamento público e o não comprometimento com as metas educacionais, revelam o projeto societário capitalista das classes dominantes, que produz desigualdades e mantém privilégios, configurando-se, desta forma, como um projeto de subalternidade de oportunidades e de negação do direito à educação às juventudes.

Published: May 2024

A evidente pesquisa objetivou analisar como se apresenta a Educação Física nos documentos do Referencial Curricular Gaúcho e do Caderno das Trilhas de Aprofundamento de Linguagens e suas Tecnologias. O estudo trata-se de uma análise documental de fragmentos dos textos dos documentos relativos ao tema Educação Física e palavras-chave que estabeleciam relação direta com o mesmo. Para analisar os dados, recorreu-se a análise de conteúdo como principal aporte metodológico.. Como resultados, percebeu-se que a Educação Física, na Área de Linguagens, tem a responsabilidade de propor o ensino da cultura corporal de movimento, também ampliando os conhecimentos dos estudantes sobre as habilidades de uso e de reflexão das linguagens artísticas, corporais e verbais. A palavra “práticas corporais” foi a de maior incidência no Referencial Curricular Gaúcho, e “linguagens corporais” a que mais apareceu no Caderno de Linguagens. Em ambos os casos, estavam relacionadas às competências e habilidades presentes nas aprendizagens das componentes curriculares. Assim, fica explícito a importância da Educação Física nas Linguagens, porém, a componente aparece com apenas um período semanal em cada ano do Ensino Médio e, nas trilhas de aprofundamento, somente seis componentes curriculares da totalidade de 54 componentes apontam o profissional de Educação Física como professor indicado para a atuação na trilha.

Published: May 2024

A implementação do Novo Ensino Médio, no Brasil, tem se mostrado recheada de controvérsias e resistências. O objetivo deste artigo é mobilizar evidências que ajudem na compreensão das implicações que a segmentação existente entre as diferentes redes de ensino que o ofertam, podem ter nas desigualdades educacionais do país. A metodologia do trabalho envolveu, além da mobilização de uma revisão bibliográfica, a análise de alguns dados do questionário socioeconômico e de desempenho dos estudantes que realizaram o Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem) no ano de 2014. Por meio de uma regressão linear, procuramos relacionar o desempenho dos estudantes que realizaram o Enem ao perfil de renda e auto declaração de raça / cor, bem como às trajetórias escolares que tiveram nas diferentes modalidades de oferta de Ensino Médio. Os resultados sugerem que as variáveis demográficas e socioeconômicas dos estudantes estão interseccionadas com padrões específicos de trajetórias escolares. As evidências construídas nos permitem inferir que a maior diferenciação curricular na etapa, instituída sobretudo por meios dos itinerários formativos no Novo Ensino Médio , tende a aprofundar a segmentação entre as redes de ensino e, consequentemente, incidir no aprofundamento das desigualdades educacionais.

Authors: Barbosa Pelissari Lucas , Caetano Maria Raquel
Published: May 2024

O objetivo do artigo é examinar o campo normativo da política educacional brasileira que regula a oferta de programas de formação profissional, analisando as formas pelas quais os IF são convocados a contribuir com a contrarreforma da EPT. O foco da análise está em um conjunto complexo de medidas governamentais, desenvolvidas a partir de 2019, que cria as condições legais e institucionais para a oferta do itinerário técnico e profissional da contrarreforma do ensino médio pelos IFs. Essas medidas estão objetivadas nos Programas Novos Caminhos (PNC) e Qualifica Mais, cuja regulamentação foi nosso objetivo de análise. Metodologicamente, seguimos as orientações de Franco (2005) para a Análise de Conteúdo dos documentos, definindo categorias a priori a partir da caracterização da contrarreforma do ensino médio desenvolvida pelo projeto de pesquisa mais amplo no qual se inserem os presentes resultados. Nesse quadro categorial, dois elementos foram utilizados como norteadores da análise: a) a descaracterização da EPT como modalidade fundada na concepção de formação humana integral; b) a privatização da EPT ao estabelecer vínculos entre o público e o privado. As considerações indicam que as duas categorias analisadas podem descaracterizar a EPT na sua concepção, promover uma tendência à privatização e alterar o modelo institucional dos Institutos Federais.
Adaptive Ambulance Management System

Published: May 2024

The ability to quickly and accurately retrieve information is essential for emergency medical response. This project integrates biometric technology and web applications to offer a comprehensive solution for improving emergency medical services. Our approach starts with the use of a fingerprint scanner, which records information on patients and guardians and links it to distinctive fingerprints. A Node MCU processes and stores this data, making it possible to quickly and securely identify patients in urgent situations. The Node MCU displays patient information on an LCD panel as soon as they provide their fingerprint. Both ambulance drivers and hospital administration have access to a user-friendly web application simultaneously. The software gives users access to a database of nearby hospitals that is divided into public and private facilities. Soon, the selected hospital will be informed about the patient condition and able to make the treatment arrangements earlier. The patient's preferences and the resources at their disposal can help ambulance crew make wise selections. Ambulance crew have two selection buttons, one is government hospital selection button and another is private hospital selection button. By reducing response times, this function improves patient care. In order to safeguard sensitive patient data, the project places a strong emphasis on data security and privacy. Our goal is to maximize emergency medical response through this integrated system, ensuring that patients receive prompt and efficient care when it counts.
An Experimental Study On Strength Characteristics Concrete by Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Bethamcherala Waste Stone
Authors: Ghantasala Nirupama  , Jyothi Kumari Ganta
Published: May 2024

In the current research work, as per the best knowledge of the authors, for the first time Bethamcherla stones has been used as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete mix. The scarcity of natural aggregate as well as finding alternative materials that can maintain or enhance the properties of concrete is crucial for sustainable construction practices. Bethamcherla stones (BS), which mainly comprises by limestone can be a potential substitute for coarse aggregate. Limestone is a common material used in concrete production, and its use as an aggregate could offer advantages such as reducing the demand for traditional aggregates and utilizing local resources efficiently. The concrete specimens, casted using BS, were kept for curing for different durations (7, 21, and 28 days), and the mechanical property was assessed using the compressive strength test, a standard procedure for evaluating concrete performance. Compressive strength is a fundamental parameter that reflects the ability of concrete to withstand loads and pressures, making it an essential property to study. It would be interesting to see the results of this study, especially how the compressive strength of the concrete changes with different replacement levels of coarse aggregate with BS aggregates (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%). This data would provide insights into the effectiveness of using BS as a substitute and help determine the optimal replacement ratio that balances cost and performance considerations. Additionally, while compressive strength is a critical mechanical property, other properties such as flexural strength, durability, and elevated temperature effect also need to be evaluated to understand how the BS aggregates influence the overall behavior of the concrete. If this experimental study proves successful, it could pave the way for more sustainable and cost-effective construction practices in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh and other regions facing similar challenges with traditional aggregate availability. Remember that the success of this research will depend on the accuracy of testing methods, the representativeness of the specimens, and the relevance of the findings to real-world construction applications. Seeing such innovative efforts toward improving construction materials and practices for a more sustainable future is exciting.

Authors: Gakii Jackline , Menza Nelson , Maoga Winfreda
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to establish the health system-related factors that influence retention in care among HIV infected pregnant women in Narok County, Kenya.
Methodology: The study adopted a cross-sectional mixed method design. Purposive sampling method was used to sample the required sample size of 117 HIV infected pregnant women, the participants of the Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and Key Informant Interviews (KII). The study was carried out at Narok County Referral and all the sub-county hospitals in Narok County. A structured questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. Focus group discussion and KII guides were used to collect qualitative data. Quantitative and qualitative data was analyzed using SPSS version 21 and Nvivo version 14 respectively. Chi square test and logistic regression analysis were used to determine the health system-related factors that influence retention in HIV care. Thematic content analysis was done for qualitative data.  The mean age of participants was 30 years (SD=6.48). The study results generated were presented in bar graphs and tables for quantitative data. Results were presented as narrations and triangulated with qualitative data.
Findings: This study established that health system-related factors (waiting time, health care workers services and ARV availability) influenced retention in care among HIV infected pregnant women. However, only ARV availability had a significant association with retention in care (P<0.001, OR=0.19). The multiple logistic regression was used to predict the influence of grouped variables. Overall, the model was a significant predictor of retention in care. Health system related factors was found to increase the likelihood of being retained in care (OR=5.14), though not significant predictors of retention in care (P<0.34).
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Health system-related factors particularly ARV drug stocks, healthcare workers staffing and timely access of services should be strengthened in order to avert stock outs, minimize waiting time and follow up patients who miss clinic appointments to increase retention among pregnant women in HIV care. Advocate for policy reforms aimed at addressing structural barriers to retention in care, including increased investment in healthcare infrastructure, workforce capacity building, and integration of HIV services within maternal and child health programs. By aligning policy initiatives with the unique needs of HIV-infected pregnant women, policymakers can foster an enabling environment for retention in care, ultimately contributing to the achievement of national and global HIV/AIDS targets.

This study dealt with the influence of peer pressure on adolescents’ social behavior among Grade 11 students at Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The primary goal of the study was to determine the level of peer pressure and adolescents’ social behavior in terms of their respective indicators, the significant relationship between peer pressure and adolescents’ social behavior, and what domains of peer pressure substantially influence adolescents’ social behavior. Also, this study utilized a quantitative-correlational design with 202 respondents among Grade 11 students. The average weighted mean, Pearson R, and multiple regression analysis were the statistical tools used in this study. Along with this, the results showed a low level of peer pressure among Grade 11 students in terms of social belongingness, curiosity, cultural parenting orientation, and educational. Likewise, the results showed a high level of adolescent social behavior among Grade 11 students regarding affiliative social behavior, aggressive behavior, and anxious behavior. In addition, there is a negligible correlation and a significant relationship between peer pressure and adolescents’ social behavior. Hence, this leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Also, all domains of peer pressure showed low ratings as perceived by students, and all domains of adolescent social behavior showed a high ratings as perceived by students. Additionally, multiple regression analysis showed the result that there was no significant relationship between peer pressure and adolescents’ social behavior. Hence, this led to not rejecting the null hypotheses. Thus, to resist peer pressure, students may attend programs that focus on how to navigate and resist peer pressure. Programs that focus on equipping students with essential skills such as critical thinking, decision-making, communication, and problem-solving, which can help them navigate peer pressure more effectively.

Authors: Nawawi Muhammad , Alamsyah M. Nur
Published: May 2024

This study is about an expansion as a goal used by local elites to expand the bureaucratic structure for politicizing the position of political support and obtaining central funding. The existence of soft requirements which tends to be determined by the local government makes the provisions and process of expansion only for the fulfillment of formal aspects without substance related to the urgency of expansion strategically and economically.  This study used a mixed-method that emphasizes a meaningful approach to the situation faced in the expansion by administering a survey on communities’, government administrators, and stakeholders’ opinions in assessing the expansion success. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with community leaders, especially those involved in the initial expansion as well as prominent community leaders to find out the expansion plan achievements. This study found that the expansion carried out at the village and sub-district levels had a positive impact on community perception, increased financing, and development. The expansion has allowed each new region the opportunity to finance development through various schemes and the availability of positions for the bureaucracy to gain support for the political power of politicians.
The Trace of Professionalization in the South African Public Service Amendment Bill and Public Administration Management Bill: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Ngubane Mpilo
Published: May 2024

The South African public sector has over the years seen erosion of professionalization and proliferation of corruption which is perpetuated largely through supply chain management processes. Politicians, officials, and business people are equally involved in the corrupt practices and more than anything it is driven by greed and indifference to the needs of the poverty-stricken communities. What is even worse is that the money stolen is meant to serve poor people and is stolen by relatively rich people. Erosion of ethical governance in the public sector has directly affected professionalization of the public service. Employees who do not qualify or meet the requirements are appointed to positions of authority so that they can pay back to those who appointed them through tenders. These corrupt officials become untouchable and cannot be disciplined even if there are proven allegations on financial misconduct. Corruption also erodes professionalization by chasing away true professionals from the public sector. That is the reason why many South African professionals are leaving the country and relocating to countries like Australia, New Zealand, etc. The South African government has tried through legislation to combat corruption in the public service and promote professionalization, but it is still too early to see if these attempts are successful or not. It is for this reason that this study focused on tracing professionalization in the Public Service Bill and Public Administration Management Bill. The comparative analysis revealed that the Public Service Bill can identify and address strategic and systemic challenges that will inhibit professionalization of the public sector and put some mechanisms to deal with those challenges. Whilst the Public Administration Management Bill is not necessarily criticised for not being upfront with the reforms that will help professionalization, its focus by its very nature is the administration and management of the provisions of the Public Service Act. It therefore remains to be seen if there will be any changes brought about by these amendments when they are accented into law by the President. The research was able to trace the elements that promote and support professionalization in the two Bills. However, it remains to be seen if, once these Bills are accented into law, they are implementable and can achieve the objectives of the respective amendments. On the main the two Bills aim to eradicate political interference from administration. The recommendation is that all parties involved (politicians and officials) should respect these two pieces of legislation and implement them as they are for the benefit of the public service.

Published: May 2024

La investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar el crecimiento socioeconómico de Panamá desde la perspectiva de su incidencia sobre los resultados de la gestión de las organizaciones profesionales y universitarias del país, desde la óptica de la Teoría de las Organizaciones Complejas.
Los métodos y técnicas utilizadas se representan por las distintas formas de obtener la información necesaria para analizarla y desarrollarla, que consisten en encuestas y entrevistas   aplicadas a los estudiantes regulares y docentes exclusivamente, ambos sujetos de investigación forman parte de la Facultad de Economía, además de revisar tesis, libros, artículos, prensa y publicaciones variadas, a fin de ampliar el conocimiento del tema investigado.
El crecimiento socioeconómico del país, en términos prospectivos, no se muestra congruente con otros datos previamente obtenidos, como, la correlación existente entre el número de estudiantes inscritos de las universidades públicas del país, por una parte, y, por otra, la productividad de estas universidades (la relación entre el número de matriculados y la cantidad de egresados), Lo que lleva a considerar las características de la gestión de las universidades públicas dentro de un contexto socioeconómico caótico enfocado desde la perspectiva del paradigma de la complejidad.
La disminución del crecimiento socioeconómico afecta negativamente la población universitaria por falta de ingresos, tanto al número de matriculados como de egresados, de la licenciatura en economía y el debilitamiento de las organizaciones profesionales a causa del déficit de nuevos Economistas que ingresen al Colegio de Economistas de Panamá.

Authors: Arierhie Eirene O. , Egbune Ngozika J. , Akponana Eloho B. , Okedoye Akindele M.
Published: May 2024

Immunization has come to play a key role in our primary health care as it has saved millions of lives yearly since it came into existence. The Corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic brought about an urgent need for Covid-19 vaccines. Various researches have been done and are still ongoing to help produce vaccines to help protect people by creating an immune response without the potentially severe illness or post-COVID conditions associated with COVID-19 infection. In this work, vaccine deployment strategies and their impact using a deterministic SEIVR model was examined. This consists of investigating the disease-free and endemic equilibria, basic reproduction number and stability. The local stability of the disease-free equilibrium was determined by solving the Jacobian matrix of the system of the system of differential equations. The study calculated the basic reproduction number, R0 , using the next generation matrix method and found it to be R0=1.1251426e−10. This low value suggests that vaccination efforts can be effective in reducing the spread of COVID-19.

Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to evaluate studies on the risk of bias. Articles reviewed included those papers that were published from January 2010 to July 2023. The reviews of the publication were done between October and November 2023. Articles that report the timing of first antenatal care were included. Only papers published in English were included. All abstracts with information of first antenatal care were included and then the full articles were retrieved for review. Data extracted included ANC attendance level, antenatal utilization, factors contributing to first antenatal visit timing, reasons for late antenatal visit after 16 weeks. Extraction also included year of publication, study design and the area where the study was done. After thorough searching, 9132 published papers were accessed through a method known as Boolean internet search. The initial screening established 56 papers without abstracts and ended up with 9076 papers. In step two, 8712 publications were removed because of quality, lack of relevance to timing of first antenatal care, not in English language while other were overview articles. In step three, 330 papers were excluded for being not related to predictors of first timing of antenatal care. Only 34 articles were considered eligible for the systematic review after inclusion and exclusion criteria was added. Narrative data synthesis was used to analyze data extracted from articles retrieved as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results. Education appeared in 22 articles. Place of residence and distance were noted in 19 articles and 17 articles respectively. Several predictors of first antenatal visit were as follows: maternal age was observed in 21 articles, unplanned pregnancies (16), The level of attendance during first antenatal visit ranged from 47% to 57%. Conclusion Variables such as education, distance, quality of service complications of pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy were reported by many articles as predictors of early initiation of first antenatal visit. A big proportion of mothers do not utilize the first antenatal services. Recommendations it is recommended that awareness be created among communities on the importance of early antenatal visit.

This article proposes a reflection on teaching practice in Basic Education in light of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and its impacts on the curriculum and teacher training. The BNCC, as the guiding document for education in Brazil, establishes the essential knowledge, skills and abilities that all students must develop throughout basic education. In this context, the role of the teacher is fundamental, as he is the mediator between the content proposed by BNCC and his pedagogical practice. The objective of this work is to analyze how the BNCC influences teaching practice, considering the challenges and possibilities that arise from this relationship. To this end, a bibliographical review was carried out on the BNCC, teacher training and pedagogical practice in basic education. The results indicate that the BNCC has significant impacts on the school curriculum and teacher training, requiring a reorganization of educational practices and greater attention to the skills and abilities that must be developed by students. In view of this, it is concluded that it is essential to rethink teacher training and pedagogical practice, seeking greater articulation between BNCC content and teaching methodologies, in order to guarantee quality education aligned with the demands of contemporary society.

This research aims to examine the effect of the project-based learning model on elementary school students' 4C skills. This research is a quasi-quantitative experimental research. The sampling technique used at the SD Negeri 2 Perm Way Kandis location was an arbitrary cluster technique. The research sample consisted of two groups: experimental class IV A, totaling 28 students, and control class IV B, totaling 30 students. Data collection techniques use tests and questionnaires. Data analysis techniques use normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis tests. The results of data analysis can be used to identify the impact of critical thinking skills and creativity. The average pretest score for the experimental class was 40.89, the posttest score was 81.07, the average pretest score for students in the control class was 44, and the posttest score was 80.16, higher in the experimental class than the control class. Based on the analysis of experimental class student questionnaire data, the questionnaire data was used as a measuring tool for students' level of skill achievement, communication, and collaboration in the experimental and control classes, and an average score of 82 was obtained. Furthermore, the average score for the control class was 79.5. The results of the t-test using the SPSS StatisticsV for Windows application obtained a value of Sig<0.05(5) on Sig(two-sided), namely 0.000<0.05(5) for 28 students. Based on this research, PJBL has a significant impact on improving students' 4C skills.
