Common extension of two sigma-finite measures
Authors: Sookoo Norris
Published: May 2024

A σ – finite measure is obtained as the unique common extension of two σ – finite measures defined on two disjoint rings.  This is done by first considering an outer measure on a σ – ring containing both disjoint rings.  This outer measure then gives rise to the unique extension in question.
Improved Global U-Net applied for multi-modal brain tumor fuzzy segmentation
Authors: Mishra Annu , Gupta Pankaj , Tewari Peeyush
Published: May 2024

In this paper, we extended our work from Global U-Net combined with fuzzy amalgamation of Inception Model and Improved Kernel Variation for MRI Brain Image Segmentation [1] which was meant for single modality MRI images only to a brain tumor fuzzy segmentation. Many CNNs gives state of art results for a particular type of images. However, they cannot achieve the same result for the images captured from different imaging techniques. We experimented the Global U-Net model for MRI images earlier and this time we intended to make it applicable for other type of images too using the concept of fuzzy segmentation. The major concern was to overcome the limitations of single modality system that is not all the kernels of U-Net are capable of generating clear feature vectors for different image modalities. The result generated was satisfactory and we would further extend it for colored images.

Authors: El-Malki Imane , Alaoui Mounia , Mtai Hanaa , Laghrib Amine
Published: May 2024

Interpolation using uniformly spaced nodes often encounters Runge’s phenomenon when applied to smooth functions. To mitigate this issue, Chebyshev roots are frequently recommended as better interpolation nodes. However, our study reveals the limitations of Chebyshev roots for interpolation by presenting a series of counterexamples. These counterexamples encompass functions that exhibit both differentiable and non-differentiable characteristics. By examining scenarios where Chebyshev interpolation falls short of producing satisfactory results, we shed light on when alternative interpolation methods should be considered.

Compreender o perfil de indivíduos privados de liberdade é fundamental para trabalhar alternativas que minimizem a reincidência. Assim, o estudo buscou levantar indicadores de saúde e perfil criminal em indivíduos privados de liberdade através de um estudo transversal, envolvendo 134 indivíduos de uma penitenciária do Estado do Paraná, Brasil. Foram analisadas variáveis sociodemográficas, indicadores de saúde, tipos de crimes, níveis de agressividade e reincidência. Ao todo, foi possível identificar um perfil jovem (35.93±12.54 anos), com baixa escolaridade (até 8 anos), sendo o principal crime contra a dignidade sexual (29.19%). Os indicadores de saúde revelaram que 11.94% apresentaram saúde excelente; 16.42% muito boa; 29.85% boa; 29.85% razoável e 11.19% ruim. Quanto ao perfil nutricional, o IMC foi de 27.37±5.34 kg/m², predominando indivíduos em estado de eutrofia (35.07%) e sobrepeso (33.58%). Em relação a saúde mental, a média de horas de sono foi de 7.82±2.38 horas/dia e grande parte dos indivíduos manifestaram sinais e sintomas de depressão (53.1%) e ansiedade (41.5%). Os preditores significativos de uma autopercepção negativa acerca da própria saúde foram a presença de depressão (Razão de chance [RC] = 6.31, IC95%: 1.39 – 28.54) e de ansiedade (RC = 4.83, IC95%: 1.26 – 18.39) que, juntos, explicaram cerca de 40% do desfecho. Logo, observa-se um perfil semelhante ao divulgado por dados nacionais, destacando-se a importância das políticas públicas no incentivo à educação, inserção social e formação profissional dos jovens para que não sejam aliciados pelo mundo do crime.
Responsabilidade tributária das plataformas de marketplace no sistema tributário nacional
Authors: Cunha Carlos Renato , Pecis Luiza França
Published: May 2024

Ao longo dos últimos anos, percebe-se um crescimento exponencial das operações comerciais e de prestação de serviços cada vez mais descentralizadas, impulsionadas pela popularização do novo modelo de negócios denominado e-commerce. Embora a digitalização das transações econômicas tenha trazido facilidades, as autoridades fiscais enfrentam o desafio de tributar essas operações virtuais, especialmente aquelas intermediadas pelos marketplaces. A atribuição de responsabilidade tributária às plataformas é uma tendência não apenas no Brasil, mas também em escala global. Desse modo, a promulgação da Emenda Constitucional nº 132/2023, marca um passo em direção à harmonização do sistema tributário nacional com as diretrizes de fiscalização do comércio digital estabelecidas na União Europeia. No entanto, é crucial garantir que as mudanças não comprometam a viabilidade das atividades dos marketplaces. Sendo assim, cuidados devem ser tomados para que a busca por arrecadação e eficiência na fiscalização não se sobreponha aos princípios fundamentais do sistema tributário nacional, especialmente no que diz respeito aos direitos e garantias constitucionais dos contribuintes brasileiros.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to examine the birth and development of new dynasties in the regions of the Spanish Maghrib and Iran after the collapse of major powers such as the Umayyad Caliphate in Spain and the Abbasid Caliphate in Iran. Employing a literature research approach, this study traces the background of the emergence, expansion processes, consolidation of power, as well as the contributions of these dynasties to the intellectual and cultural development in the regions they ruled. In the Spanish Maghrib, the Almoravid and Almohad Dynasties emerged as new powers after the fall of the Umayyad Caliphate. Both dynasties succeeded in uniting the regions of Spain and the Maghrib, albeit with different methods and ideologies. Meanwhile, in Iran, the Ilkhanid, Jalayirid, Timurid, and Safavid Dynasties rose after the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate, each exerting significant influence and contributions to the political, cultural, artistic, and scientific development. The research findings indicate that the birth and development of these new dynasties not only brought about political changes but also contributed significantly to intellectual and cultural advancements in both regions. The periods under their rule are known as golden ages in the fields of art, architecture, literature, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and other sciences. These dynasties fostered the exchange of ideas among various ethnic and religious groups and created a conducive environment for the growth of knowledge and creativity. Overall, this study highlights the importance of the new dynasties in the dynamics of history and civilization, as well as their contributions in shaping new political landscapes and catalyzing the growth of rich knowledge, art, and culture.

MODEL IMPLEMENTASI AKAD MURABAHAH PADA PRODUK PEMBIAYAAN PERBANKAN SYARIAH DI INDONESIA
Authors: Rachman Abdul
Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui model implementasi akad Murabahah pada produk pembiayaan perbankan syariah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan pada studi pustaka yang membahas terkait akad Murabahah pada perbankan syariah di Indonesia. Selain itu juga, peneliti menggunakan pendekatan hukum Islam dalam penerapan akad Murabahah pada perbankan syariah. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah terdapat tiga model penerapan murabahah di perbankan syariah yakni model pertama konsisten terhadap fiqih muamalah. Model kedua hampIr menyamai model pertama namun demikian terdapat perbedaan yaitu dalam hal perpindahan kepemilikan langsung dari supplier kepada nasabah dan pembayaran langsung dilakukan oleh pihak bank kepada penjual pertama. Model ketiga, pihak nasabah melakukan akad Murabahah dengan pihak bank, dan pada saat yang sama mewakilkan (akad wakalah) kepada nasabah untuk membeli sendiri barang yang akan dibelinya. Model ketiga menjadi model yang saat ini diterapkan oleh perbankan syariah di Indonesia yang menuai banyak perbincangan sebab akad Murabah tidak dilakukan secara murni, yang menjadi syarat sah murabahah akad jual beli menurut DSN-MUI ialah adanya kepemilikan sendiri terhadap objek jual beli, namun pada temuan kali ini akad murabahah dilakukan tanpa melalui proses kepemilikan barang oleh bank itu sendiri atau dengan kata lain akad murabahah dilakukan secara bersamaan dengan akad wakalah yang dimana akad wakalah belum selesai sampai dengan prinsip barang menjadi milik bank.

Penelitian ini menelaah pemikiran R.A Kartini tentang kedudukan perempuan dalam menuntut ilmu dan relevansinya dengan pendidikan Islam. R.A Kartini yang dikenal sebagai pahlawan perempuan memiliki gagasan cemerlang pada masanya untuk mendorong perempuan bisa mendapatkan pendidikan yang baik sehingga bisa berpartisipasi dalam membangun bangsa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif berjenis library research atau berbasis pustaka dengan menggunakan pendekatan telaah diskriptif-kritis dalam kajian feminisme yang fokus pada kajian perempuan. Pendekatan tersebut penulis gunakan untuk melihat fenomena kedudukan perempuan sehingga lahir gagasan Kartini pada masa itu kemudian digunakan sebagai refleksi pada masa sekarang. Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa pemikiran Raden Ajeng Kartini tentang kedudukan perempuan dalam menuntut ilmu tertuang dalam surat-surat yang dikirimkan kepada teman-teman Eropanya. Secara mapan surat-surat tersebut telah diterbitkan menjadi buku sendiri, yang sampai saat ini populer dalam buku yang berjudul, “Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang.” Dalam surat-surat tersebut terlihat jika Raden Ajeng Kartini sangat menghendaki pendidikan untuk perempuan yang berkarakter khusus dengan tradisi dan budayanya. Di sinilah terdapat relevansinya dengan karakter pendidikan Islam. Kesimpulannya terdapat  tiga poin. Pertama, Kartini menghendaki adanya pendidikan yang tanpa diskriminatif, baik secara suku, profesi, kelas ekonomi, maupun jenis kelamin. Kedua, pendidikan akhlak, karena bagi Kartini dalam pendidikan akhlak merupakan nomor satu sebelum mendapatkan ilmu. Ketiga, perempuan sebagai madrasah pertama, sebab bagi Kartini peranan perempuan bisa meraih pendidikan yang layak untuk keperluan membangun generasi dari kehidupan pertama manusia, yaitu semenjak berada di pangkuan ibunya.
PENDIDIKAN KECERDASAN SPIRITUAL PERSPEKTIF AL-GHAZALI DAN RELEVANSINYA DENGAN EMOTIONAL SPIRITUAL QUOTIENT (ESQ)
Authors: Safitri Diana , Zakaria Zakaria , Kahfi Ashabul
Published: May 2024

Tulisan ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan pandangan al-Ghazali terkait pendidikan kecerdasan spiritual. Selanjutnya penulis akan merelevansikannya dengan emosional spiritual quotient (ESQ). Memberikan pendidikan kecerdasan spiritual mesti dilakukan oleh para pendidik, di samping menuntaskan pendidikan pada ranah kognitif dan afektif peserta didik. Apabila tidak dilakukan maka pendidikan tidak akan mampu menghasilkan manusia yang sempurna. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan, dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif analitis. Peneliti menelusuri tulisan Al-Ghazali serta sumber-sumber lain yang membangun gagasan-gagasan tentang pendidikan cerdas spiritual. Selanjutnya, penulis akan menganalisis data tersebut dengan pendekatan content analysis. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa konsep pendidikan kecerdasan spiritual perspektif al-Ghazali lebih mengarah kepada cerdas dalam beragama dan menekankan bagaimana mendidik hati ke dalam budi pekerti yang baik dan moral yang beradab. Relevansi pendidikan kecerdasan spiritual al-Ghazali dengan ESQ kontemporer terdapat pada sisi emotional, spriritual dan quontient. Di dalam konsep Emotional Spiritual Quotient (ESQ), semua manusia punya intelektual dan emosional, tapi kedua hal tersebut tidak sempurna kalau tidak disatukan dengan kecerdasan spriritual. Untuk mencapai atau memperoleh kecerdasan spriritual manusia memerlukan kecerdasan intelektual dan kecerdasan emosional untuk menerapkan prinsip-prinsip tauhid secara tepat dan sempurna.

The Private International Law Act in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not harmonized with
the acquis of the European Union. Future legislative intervention in this area is pri-
marily conditioned by the process of joining Bosnia and Herzegovina to the European
Union. Bearing in mind the year of adoption and entry into force of this Act, it is not
surprising that numerous legal institutes of contemporary private international law,
present not only in EU legislation and international conventions, but also in national
codifications of private international law of other countries, remained unknown to
this law.
Considering the complex constitutional structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the
division of legislative responsibilities, which in the case of regulation of private law
relations, including those with a foreign element, are placed under the jurisdiction of
the entities (FBiH, RS, BD) the authors analyze possible solutions and directions for
future reform of this Act.

This study focuses on the model validation of an Integrated Solar System Laboratory, employing a comprehensive approach encompassing solar energy sources, batteries, DC/DC boost converters, inverters, and controllers. Mathematical models were meticulously formulated for each key component and implemented using MATLAB/Simulink to create a virtual environment mirroring the laboratory setup. Validation was conducted by accurately representing the designed system parameters in the simulation environment, and then assessing the dynamic responses of the various simulated outputs. The system, designed for diverse photovoltaic solar applications, integrates energy management software. Simulation results showcase the system’s dynamic responses to varying solar irradiance, load patterns, and disturbances, highlighting the efficacy of control algorithms. Key findings indicate that the incremental conductance algorithm effectively optimizes the PV module’s operating point at 7.5 Amps and 90 volts. System stability endures load variations, with the inverter stable at 65%. Additionally, the efficiency of the MPPT technique and converter duty cycle stability are emphasized, along with the battery discharge rate reduction from 67% to approximately 20%. The study validates solar system models, ensuring accurate representation. Robust control algorithms maintain stability amidst load variations, showcasing system efficiency.
Angiomyolipoma during pregnancy: A forgotten risk factor for rupture and massive haemorrhage– A case report

Published: May 2024

Benign renal lesions are relatively rare. Angiomyolipoma (AML) is the most commonly encountered benign renal lesion. One of the complications of AML is rupture, which results in retroperitoneal haemorrhage with a mortality rate of up to 20%. Pregnancy poses a major risk for the rupture of AML. This is attributed to its hormonal effect, which causes the tumour to grow rapidly during pregnancy. The possibility of AML rupture should be considered when encountering pregnant patients with hypovolemic shock but with normal initial obstetric ultrasound findings. We present a case of a pregnant patient who was admitted with hypovolemic shock and CT scan confirmed rupture of AML.
