MAKᾹNAT AL-ADYᾹN GHAIR AL-ISLᾹMIYYAH MIN AL-MANẒŪR AL-QUR’ᾹNῙ
Authors: Badruzaman Abad
Published: November 2022

he problem is that not every religious believer is willing to live side by side with other people who are different. This phenomenon gives rise to clashes, hostility, and tensions between adherents of different religions. The main reason mostly refers to the interpretation with a narrow perspective on several religious texts, especially with the existence of verses that emphasize the exclusivity of eschatological happiness and the limitation of the right of exclusivity to certain groups. Through the contextual exegesis approach and the data analyzed by the thematic framework, this paper aims to present an idea of the response of the Quran to non-Islamic religions. The author also tries to interpret the verses of the Quran that show exclusivity and exclusive truth in a direction that is in accordance with other verses that call for tolerance and openness, starting with the contextual approach commonly used in the field of Quranic interpretation's studies today. The writer hopes that this paper will contribute academically to answer the stagnation of interpretation's phenomenon experienced by most religious communities in the modern era. Particularly, this contribution becomes an encouragement to build healthy relationships filled with love, compassion, to maintain humanity and respect for others, to safeguard rights, and to achieve shared human values and noble goals among others.

Human right is a concept that is upheld in Islam. His spirit is contained in the Qur'an, one of which discusses religious freedom. This paper was written to answer the question of how is the concept of religious freedom in the interpretation of the Qur'an? This study used maudhu'i method with a linguistic approach. From this search, it was found that the basis of the concept of human rights to guarantee religious freedom is in QS. Al-Baqarah (2): 256. The law that was born from this verse is valid forever. There is no compulsion for other than Muslims to embrace Islam, because the truth is something that should not be forced, even if there are people who do not believe in the truth in Islam, it still will not change the fact that Islam is the true religion. Humans are given the capacity to think and choose with the gift of reason, it is appropriate for humans to determine their own path and be responsible for the consequences of that choice.
ḤIJĀB DAN JILBAB PERSPEKTIF ASMA BARLAS DAN POSISINYA DALAM TIPOLOGI TAFSIR KONTEMPORER SAHIRON SYAMSUDDIN
Authors: Khalil Muhammad Imdad Ilhami , Thahir A. Halil
Published: November 2022

Abstract Up to now, the research on ḥijāb and jilbab is still a debatable and relevant topic for further discussion. One of the figures who took part in the ḥijāb and jilbab problem is Asma Barlas. He criticized the understanding of Muslims, especially the interpretation product of conservatives scholars, who reduced the meaning of the ḥijāb to the obligation to wear a ḥijāb. According to her, the obligation to wear the ḥijāb by wearing the jilbab is still influenced by the patriarchal and misogynistic mindset of the jāhiliyyah community. This article aims to explain the construction of Asma Barlas' thought, especially in the issue of ḥijāb and jilbab. Then, this article will also try to place the thoughts of Asma Barlas in the Typology of Contemporary Interpretation of Thought initiated by Sahiron Syamsuddin. The categorization of contemporary commentary thought initiated by Sahiron Syamsuddin makes it easier for later researchers to identify the basic construction of an interpreter thoughts of the Qur'an.

Published: November 2022

This study investigated the effectiveness of physical and mechanical barriers in the prevention, control and management of COVID-19 during dental care. In this cross-sectional study, two research students from the eighth period of the dentistry course performed 24 consultations from January to June 2022, in the 4 specialties under study: surgery (S), restorative dentistry (D), endodontics (E) and periodontics (P). For each specialty researched, there were 3 groups: control (CG), which adopted the current biosafety norms of the Federal Council of Dentistry (FCD); with circular shield (G1) and with rectangular shield (G2). For each specialty, the researcher performed 6 dental appointments, whose patients were chosen by lot to which group they would participate, so that the distribution wasequitable between the groups. Aerosol stains were found around office equipment, as well as on professionals' personal protective equipment (PPE) and close to the patient. The maximum distance found from aerosol splashes to the naked eye was 1.43m during prophylaxis procedures in the CG. In all groups, most of the splashes were found on the PPE used by professionals, especially on gloves, in the professionals' wrist region; on the patient, on the apron and neck. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups within the specialties (p-value > 0.05), disregarding the comparison between pairs. It was concluded that there was dissemination of aerosol droplets in all dental visits in the 4 specialties studied. Although the PPE proposed by the FCD are effective as a physical barrier to reduce cross-infection and the spread of droplets and aerosols, as well as a preventive measure against COVID-19 during dental care, the professional can use other devices that demonstrate effectiveness, such as the circular screens and the acrylic box, during the dental procedures.
The Strategy of Defence Diplomacy in Achieving National Interests and Maintaining the Sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia
Authors: Lubis Amany
Published: November 2022

Maintaining national unity and sovereignty is Indonesia's main goal to protect the people and promote general welfare. In addition, Indonesian defense is also the main focus of the government in realizing the integrity of the country. In achieving and securing these interests, diplomacy has always been the choice of the state as the dominant way to achieve these goals. Defense diplomacy is also part of Indonesia's total diplomacy. It means that the national defense system is carried out early by the government and carried out in a total, integrated, directed, and continuous manner. In practice, the state could use the resources it has, including military, economic, political, intelligence, natural and human resources, etc. All parties must agree that in conducting diplomacy, negotiation is very vital, so it could be said that the successful negotiations could also be interpreted as victory in diplomacy. To be able to negotiate well, the strength and ability of the bargaining position is an important requirement that must be owned by a nation. The bargaining position of a nation is strongly influenced by the nation's national power and one of the prominent components of that national power is the military component. This what makes the military difficult to separate from state diplomacy. This research is designed to gain an understanding of the defense diplomacy of the Republic of Indonesia in achieving national interests and defending the sovereignty of the nation. This study aims to analyze the role of Indonesia's defense diplomacy in achieving national interests and defending the nation's sovereignty. In addition, in this research the author also analyzes the factors that influence the role of defense diplomacy in achieving national interests and maintaining national sovereignty. This study uses a qualitative method with descriptive-analytical specifications, with the data obtained through observation and literature study. Data analysis techniques are more carried out in conjunction with data collection during research. The results of the study can be concluded that the role of defense diplomacy in achieving national interests is not optimal and its achievements are still limited to only defense issues; The factors that affect the role of defense diplomacy are viewed from several dimensions, which are the dimensions of the capacity and capability of the Indonesian National Military (Tentara Nasional Indonesia/TNI), the dimensions of cooperation between agencies and the dimensions of the arranging a diplomatic strategy, and based on this situation, Indonesia must strengthen its defense diplomacy strategy in order to achieve national interests and maintain the sovereignty of the Indonesian nation.
Unpacking the Black Box of Public Demand for Global Supply Chains Regulation
Authors: Kolcava Dennis , Smith E. Keith , Bernauer Thomas
Published: November 2022

Effectively governing environmental and social externalities throughout the global economy poses challenges for democratic policy-makers in the court of public opinion. Following the median voter model, as the stringency of policy proposals increases, support rises amongst some citizens and falls amongst others. We argue informational disclosure-based governance presents a potential strategy to mitigate this zero-sum logic as citizens discount policy costs while expecting substantive benefits. We focus on political efforts to increase sustainability throughout global supply chains, drawing on two original survey experiments with representative samples in the 12 largest high-income importing economies (N=24,000). Indeed, at higher levelsof policy stringency, citizens expect greater benefits than costs. Further, we find that expected benefits are more strongly associated with support than costs. Lastly, we note how policy stringency promotes convergence of expected benefits across the political ideological spectrum. Hence, our findings provide insights into publicpreference formation towards the globalization-sustainability nexus.

Distribusi Kekayaan dalam Perspektif Al Quran Surah Al Hasyr ayat 7
Authors: Fikriyyah Faiha , Kurniawan Rachmad Risqy
Published: November 2022

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana konsep distribusi kekayaan yang baik dan benar dalam perekonomian islam berdasarkan ayat Al Quran beserta tafsirnya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan (library research) dengan metode penafsiran maudhu'i atau lebih dikenal dengan sebutan tafsir tematik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsep distribusi kekayaan yang dilarang oleh Allah dalam al Quran adalah perputaran kekayaan yang terjadi hanya pada sekelompok orang saja. Realita yang ada menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat sekarang masih banyak yang menggunakan konsep pendistribusian yang salah. Sehingga orang yang kaya tetap kaya dan miskin tetap miskin, sementara distribusi kekayaan yang benar adalah ketika perputaran kekayaan tidak hanya terjadi pada kalangan tertentu saja. Sebagaimana dalam tafsir QS. Al Hasry ayat 7 maka dalam memecahkan masalah ini, perlu adanya mekanisme ekonomi dan mekanisme non ekonomi untuk mengatasi konsep pendistribusian yang salah, agar bisa menghasilkan konsep yang utuh dari Al Quran tentang masalah tersebut, sehingga pendistribusian kekayaan akan beredar ke semua kalangan dan tidak akan terjadi kesenjangan sosial dalam masyarakat.
Decarbonising states as owners
Authors: Babic Milan , Dixon Adam
Published: November 2022

Environmental state debates focus on the governance and steering functions of politics. Concurrently, many states stand out as large global owners and investors in carbon industries. Via various investment vehicles, states control around half of all global oil and gas reserves as well as other carbon assets. We know very little, however, about where these states are invested; how they conduct their carbon investment; and what possibilities and constraints carbon-owning states have to decarbonise. Yet, these aspects – the geography, investment profiles and domestic state carbon capital dependence – are key to assess the possibilities and limitations of climate action states as carbon owners have. Based on new fine-grained firm-level data, we deliver conceptual and empirical insights into all three issues. Our intervention fills an important gap in our knowledge about the environmental state, while drawing the attention of researchers and policymakers to a blind spot, but also to transformation potentials of the carbon-owning state in the following decade.

Positive Matrix Factorization of Large Aerosol Mass Spectrometry Datasets Using Error-Weighted Randomized Hierarchical Alternating Least Squares
Authors: Sapper Benjamin , Henze Daven , Canagaratna Manjula , Stark Harald
Published: November 2022

Weighted positive matrix factorization (PMF) has been used by scientists to find small sets of underlying factors in environmental data. However, as the size of the data has grown, increasing computational costs have made it impractical to use traditional methods for this factorization. In this paper, we present a new weighting method to dramatically decrease computational costs for these traditional algorithms. We then apply this weighting method with the Randomized Hierarchical Alternating Least Squares (RHALS) algorithm to a large environmental dataset, where we show that interpretable factors can be reproduced using these methods. We show this algorithm results in a computational speedup of 38, 67, and 634 compared to the Multiplicative Update (MU), deterministic Hierarchical Alternating Least Squares (HALS), and non-negative Alternating Least Squares (ALS) algorithms, respectively. We also investigate rotational ambiguity in the solution, and present a simple ``pulling'' method to rotate a set of factors. This method is shown to find alternative solutions, and in some cases, lower the weighted residual error of the algorithm.
Disentangling the effects of climate change and reoligotrophication on primary production in a large lake
Authors: Krishna Shubham , Ulloa Hugo , Barbe Emile , Wüest Alfred
Published: November 2022

Climate change and reduction in nutrient loads have significant effects on primary production and phytoplankton growth dynamics. Since in the last few decades in many regions, nutrients in lakes were reduced simultaneously as the climate changed. Yet, it remains unclear which of the two has impacted primary production the most. In this study, we couple the General Ocean Turbulence Model with the Ecological Regional Ocean Model to disentangle the effects of climate change and reoligotrophication on primary production (PP) in Lake Geneva, Switzerland-France. We apply a data assimilation method to calibrate the model with the observations from the past (1981-1990) and validate it against the in-situ data from the present decade (2011-2019). Both decades represent different climate conditions and trophic states of the lake.We show that the model is skilful to reproduce assimilated and unassimilated observations from both periods. According to our results, the effect of reoligotrophication on PP is marginally higher than that of warming, leading to a net decrease in primary production by 10% from the past to the present. The areal phosphorus supply in Lake Geneva, in spite of a decrease by 70%, is still characteristic of a meso-to-eutrophic ecosystem. This points towards an incomplete reoligotrophication of the lake. The effects of future climate change on winter mixing and PP dynamics have also been studied. Although there would be a significant reduction in deep mixing, the autotrophic production in Lake Geneva is expected to increase by 20% by the end of 21st century, largely due to stimulation in biomass build-up of temperature-dependent algae (e.g. dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria).Considering our results to represent other large temperate lakes with similar trophic status and water residence time as Lake Geneva, future climate scenarios are expected to bring back symptoms of eutrophication.
Motives and Mental Contrasting With Implementation Intentions Predict Progress and Management of Goals in Parents
Authors: Riddell Hugh , Sedikides Constantine , Gucciardi Daniel , Jackson Ben , Thogersen-Ntoumani Cecilie , Ntoumanis Nikos
Published: November 2022

Parents must rapidly adapt goals from various aspects of their lives to accommodate the demands of the early stages of parenthood. The management and attainment of goals is more likely, if individuals hold autonomous motives (goals align with internally held self-concepts) than controlled motives (goals driven by demands/pressures). Metacognitive strategies, such as Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions (MCII), can also facilitate goal striving. Using experience sampling over one month, we investigated how motives and spontaneously occurring cognitive features of MCII (i.e., mental imagery, reflection on obstacles, implementation intention planning) predict coping, goal adjustment, goal progress, facilitation, and interference between parenting goals and competing life goals in early-stage parents (N = 103). Autonomous motives and MCII-like features were positively associated with effort coping, which in turn was related to goal progress and facilitation between- and within-individuals. Goal adjustment was positively associated with facilitation at the between-person level when accompanied by effort coping. Furthermore, MCII-like features were positively related to increased goal adjustment in individuals who had high controlled motivation for their competing life goal. The study indicates that effort and adjustment are effective coping mechanisms for attaining and managing multiple goals. Goal motives and MCII-like features are associated with the use of these mechanisms. The findings suggest that parents will benefit from selecting autonomously motivated goals and using MCII-like features to manage parenting and other competing life goals.
Perception of facial expressions involves emotion specific somatosensory cortex activations which are shaped by alexithymia
Authors: Arslanova Irena , Meletaki Vasiliki , Calvo-Merino Beatriz , Forster Bettina
Published: November 2022

Somatosensory cortex (SCx) has been shown to crucially contribute to early perceptual processes when judging other’s facial emotion expressions. Here, we investigated the specificity of SCx activity to angry, happy, sad and neutral emotions and the role of personality factors. We assessed participants’ alexithymia (TAS-20) and depression (BDI) levels, their cardioceptive abilities and recorded changes in neural activity in a facial emotion judgment task. During the task, we presented tactile probes to reveal neural activity in SCx which was then isolated from visual carry-over responses. To obtain pure SCx emotion effects, SCx activity elicited by neutral emotion expressions was subtracted from angry, happy, and sad expressions. We show distinct modulations of SCx activity to angry and happy expressions. Moreover, the SCx anger response was predicted by individual differences in trait alexithymia. Thus, emotion expressions of others are uniquely presented in the observer’s neural body representation and are shaped by their personality trait.
Designing ‘fast’ products: impact of product color and texture on perception of speed
Authors: Baldwin Brooke , Liu Tianhang , Coza Aurel
Published: November 2022

Visual perception of virtual products is becoming increasingly important in an environment dominated by online experiences. This study proposes a new methodological approach to the study of product speed perception in a two-dimensional (screen) virtual environment. The impact of two main design factors – color and texture – on the perceived speed of a recognizable product is quantified. The results have shown that the methodology is sensitive enough to distinguish between changes in perception of speed induced by said design elements. When systematic texture and color changes are applied, patterns of speed perception are observed with certain categories of textures and colors showing a bias towards higher or lower perceived speeds.
Bullying in Remote Education: A Report from the COVID-19 Pandemic Period
Authors: Özen Ali Can , İplikçi Ayşe Büşra , Kanero Junko
Published: November 2022

This study capitalized on the unique situation during the COVID-19 pandemic to evaluate whether remote education can reduce bullying victimization at school. In an online survey, a total of 344 middle school and high school students answered questions regarding their experience of victimization, bullying, and involvement in cyberbullying before and during the remote education (Mage= 14.74, range = 9-20). The frequency of victimization and bullying significantly dropped during the remote education, and students were less afraid of being bullied. No increase or decrease in the prevalence of cyberbullying was observed. We also found that the decrease in victimization and bullying was larger in older than younger students, and students from relatively advantaged SES backgrounds were more likely to be involved in cyberbullying. Overall, we conclude that remote education has the potential to reduce bullying victimization among children and adolescents. This study not only carries anthropological values as a report on children’s experience of the COVID-19 pandemic but also offers insights into the discussions on the mode of instruction and student-centered approach in school education.
A Study on Evolutionary Perspectives of ‘Emotions’ and ‘Mood’ on Biological Evolutionary Platform
Authors: Das Krishanu Kumar
Published: November 2022

This study endeavours to define evolutionary perspectives of emotions and mood on biological evolutionary platform. Emotions and Mood are two separate entities of the mental apparatus. 'Mood' is the energy level of the mind at a given particular moment, whereas 'emotion' is a specific sensation or feeling in the mind that provides directional drive to the other faculties of the mind – memory, intelligence, and physical activities – for their actions to be performed to pursue a specific goal. Present study supports that every emotion has been developed individually in the course of biological evolution, and they all have been evolved to maintain the survival needs. According to ‘Emotion Model’ posited by Das, each emotion is distinct and different with a specific survival role and physiologically can be qualitatively and quantitatively determined on different emotion scales. So there is no such existence of as such primary and secondary emotions. Furthermore, each emotion has some certain expressing habits, which both are suited for adapting with the emotion provoking situations and are used for inter-communication purposes. This study also clarifies how evolution of emotions has been an important tool in sociobiology maintaining the bridge between Darwin's evolution theory and Hamilton’s inclusive fitness theory, and has become responsible for entire social evolution.
A Multilevel Perspective on Self-Determination Theory: Predictors and Correlates of Autonomous and Controlled Motivation
Authors: Levine Shelby L. , Clegg Kayleigh-Ann , Zuroff David , Holding Anne Catherine , Shahar Golan , Koestner Richard
Published: November 2022

Based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), we examined mediational models connecting autonomy support and self-criticism to negative affect [NA], positive affect [PA], and goal progress [GP] via autonomous and controlled motivation. Separate measures were obtained within eight domains (e.g., academic performance and intimate relationships) for 346 university students. Multilevel structural equation modeling was used to test whether, both between-persons and within-person, autonomy support and self-criticism predicted autonomous and controlled motivation, which in turn predicted NA, PA, and GP. In addition to several between-persons indirect effects, we found numerous significant within-person indirect effects, including: 1) in domains where they experienced greater autonomy support, people experienced greater PA and greater GP, mediated by greater autonomous motivation and 2) in domains where they experienced greater self-criticism, people experienced more NA mediated by greater controlled motivation, and less PA mediated by greater controlled motivation and lesser autonomous motivation. These results support systematically adopting a multilevel perspective in SDT research.
The effect of education, occupational status, and income on political participation: evidence from identical twins
Authors: Barsegyan Vardan , Knigge Antonie , Maas Ineke
Published: November 2022

Education, occupation, and income have been long considered as powerful predictors of political participation in Western societies, indicating that voices of people with different socioeconomic status are not expressed to the same extent in politics. However, whether education, occupation, and income have causal effects on political participation is questionable; as well as whether education has an absolute or relative effect on political participation. We contribute to this discussion by estimating the effects of education, occupational status, and income on political participation on a sample of identical twins from Germany. By applying family fixed effects regression models, we take into account unmeasured confounding effects of the social environment and genes. We found that education has a positive effect on political participation that is most likely causal. We did not find effects of occupational status and income on political participation. We conclude that education is not merely a proxy for a person’s relative socio-economic status, but that the absolute level of education has an independent effect. By this, we contribute to the discussion of absolute versus relative effects of education.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Acute appendicitis poses a diagnostic challenge in a low-resource setting like ours. Without timely and appropriate management, acute appendicitis can lead to prolonged morbidity and mortality. We describe the clinical profile of acute appendicitis at the national referral hospital in Bhutan.
Method: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study of all cases of acute appendicitis managed at the National Referral Hospital, Bhutan from 1st January-31st December 2016. Data related to patients’ symptoms, clinical examination and ultrasonographic findings, treatment details, length of hospital stay, and histopathology report were analyzed. 
Results: Of the 3291 surgical admissions, there were 173 patients with acute appendicitis contributing to 5.3% of the total surgical burden. The median age was 27 years (IQR 20, 39), 60.1% were males.  96.5% and 91.9% of the patients presented with right iliac fossa pain and tenderness respectively. While 74.6%(n=129) had primary surgery, 18.9%(n=32) were managed conservatively. Of the 32 patients, 37.5%(n=12) had surgery after failed conservative management. Seventy-five percent presented with intraoperative features of complicated appendicitis. The negative appendectomy rate was 2.2%. The median length of hospital stay was three days (range 3–60). Ultrasonographic diagnosis compared to histopathological confirmation had a sensitivity of 87.8%, kappa agreement of 87.3%, and specificity of 66.7%. 
Conclusion: Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency. Ultrasonography in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis was useful in a low-resource setting. A high proportion of complicated acute appendicitis in our setting needs effective interventional strategies.

The development of highly productive short-stemmed winter rye varieties that do not lodge under intensive cultivation technologies is one of the main breeding tasks. The current paper has presented the study results of a new winter rye variety ‘Evrika’ according to the main economically valuable traits in the North-West region of the Russian Federation. The variety was developed by the Leningrad Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture «Belogorka» based on complex hybridization of the varieties ‘Bylina’ and ‘Volkhov’ from the North-West region with varieties of Russian and foreign selection, among which the varieties ‘Alfa’, ‘Antares’, ‘Saratovskaya 5’ and ‘Otello’ made the most significant contribution. The breeding feature of the new variety is the use of donors of such types of a short stem trait as dominant-monogenic and recessive-polygenic. The study was carried out for three years (2019–2021) in the nurseries of Competitive Variety Testing on the fields of the institute in the Gatchinsky district of the Leningrad region. The purpose of the study was to identify the biological and economically valuable traits of a new winter rye variety ‘Evrika’. According to the study results, the variety ‘Evrika’ belongs to the group of semi-short-stem varieties with a mean plant height of 125.5 cm. The variety showed good winter tolerance (8–9 points) and high resistance to lodging (8–9 points). The mean grain productivity of the new variety through the years of research was 5.0 t/ha, with the maximum of 7.4 t/ha, which exceeded the productivity of the standard variety ‘Volkhov’ on 0.9 t/ha (19.5 %) and 2.1 t/ha (39.6 %), respectively. The mean green mass productivity was 25.8 t/ha, exceeding the standard’s productivity on 3.5 t/ha (15.7 %). The index of 1000-grain weight of a new variety during the period varied from 34.5 to 39.0 g, depending on the climatic conditions of the year. According to the study results, the variety ‘Evrika’ was highly appreciated, having successfully passed the State Variety Testing. In 2021 the variety was included in the State List of Breeding Achievements in the North-West Region of the Russian Federation.

The current paper has presented the results of estimating rice samples for the ability of energetic plant growth from under a layer of water. The resistance of varieties to flooding is of great relevance in Russia in the fight against weeds due to the deep layer of water that weeds cannot overcome. The purpose of the study was to estimate rice breeding samples for resistance to flooding and to select the best of them for use in crossings when breeding rice varieties resistant to flooding. For the study there have been taken the samples developed in the laboratory of rice breeding and seed production of the ARC “Donskoy” from the hybridization of domestic varieties ‘Kuboyar’ and ‘Kontakt’ with such Asian varieties as ‘Mazhan Red’, ‘Kharsu 80A’, ‘Khao Hlan On’ as the donors of the flood resistance gene. The study was carried out using glass cylinders of 42 cm high. As a result of the estimation of 48 rice varieties, there were identified the forms that have the highest initial growth rates and the ability to overcome a large layer of water under anaerobic conditions. The results of germination in cylinders showed significant differences between plants in terms of growth rate under water: after 3 days from seed sowing, the length of the sprouts varied from 0.1 to 1.7 cm, on the 8 th day it ranged from 2.0 to 12.0 cm, on the 13th it was from 8.4 to 47.0 cm. Three forth of the samples after 2 weeks had a small plant height up to 30 cm, the rest part of the samples exceeded this value. The greatest sprouts’ length was in the samples ‘1006’ (47.0 cm), ‘998’ (45.3 cm) and ‘997’ (40.3 cm), which can be grown in the field without herbicides using the technology of obtaining shoots from under a layer of water or used as donors of high growth energy. There has been identified the material of practical importance for the breeding process.

Claims are a form of demands from insurance policy holders in order to get protection against financial losses due to risks that occur. Claims that arise every time a risk occurs are called individual claims, while the total of individual claims during an insurance period is called aggregation claims. In addition, claims are one of the important elements in optimizing the minimum expenditure of insurance companies where one of the calculations that insurance companies need to know based on claims is aggregate loss. Aggregate loss is the total loss in a period experienced by the policyholder which is borne by an insurance company. This study aims to determine the estimated total aggregate loss claims for the number of claims with a Negative Binomial distribution and the size of the claims with a Discrete Uniform distribution in the recapitulation of claim payments according to all types of guarantees and the nature of injuries in 2018-2020 PT. Jasa Raharja, Purwakarta. This study uses the convolution method with the help of Easyfit and R Studio software. The convolution method is a method of calculating the number of multiplication pairs of a probability density function. The results of this study indicate that from the recapitulation data on claim payments according to all types of insurance and nature of injury in 2018-2020 PT. Jasa Raharja, Purwakarta, the estimated total monthly aggregate loss claims for the years 2021-2023 using Jasa Raharja's insurance claim data from 2018 to 2020 based on the Negative Binomial distribution and the Discrete Uniform distribution is IDR 4,278,5545,000 and the variance value of 2.128412e-06.
