METODOLOGI TEOLOGI AL ASY’ARY DAN PENGARUHNYA TERHADAP PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI INDONESIA
Authors: Muchasan Ali , Syarif M , Naufal Mochammad
Published: November 2023

The Indonesian understanding of Ahlus Sunnah Islam rests on the understanding of Asyariyah theology which is the basis for building the religious beliefs of the majority of Indonesian Muslims. This understanding of kalam or theology that was taught by Imam Ash'ari has given birth to a methodology of thinking that has a strong influence on various fields of Islamic religion, especially in the field of education. Al Asy'ari's moderate thinking style in translating the core teachings of Islam has influenced how traditional Islamic education in Indonesia takes an elastic and moderate form in responding to various social religious religious issues that are developing in Indonesia. Al Asyari's moderate style of thinking in time will also influence the development of educational institutions in Indonesia, especially madrasas which seek to eclecticly combine the Islamic scientific approach which is "turats al qadim" or old scientific traditions with western scientific approaches which are "turats al hadith" or a new scientific tradition. This study is intended to discuss the influence of the methodology of Islamic thought or Asyari theology in the field of education, especially its effect on traditional Islamic education in Indonesia, both in terms of teaching materials on aqeedah which are the subject matter of religious teachings and in terms of its institutional development in adapting to changing times in the present.

Published: November 2023

La importancia de los polinizadores a nivel mundial radica en su aporte a los procesos de polinización y a la seguridad alimentaria. En la actualidad la gran preocupación por las tasas de extinción es alarmante, en donde cerca del 35 % de los polinizadores invertebrados, principalmente abejas y las mariposas, y alrededor del 17% de los polinizadores vertebrados, como los murciélagos, están muy cerca de desaparecer. Varios factores son los predisponentes para esta acuciante problemática, entre los que tenemos: el calentamiento global, uso de agroquímicos, parásitos como el ácaro Varroa destructor, plagas y enfermedades, etc. En varios países como también en Ecuador se viene implementando estrategias como proyectos y planes de conservación con el objetivo de promover el cuidado de estos insectos, es así que en la Amazonía desde hace algunos años se vienen implementando por parte de las universidades públicas proyectos que incentivan el cuidado y producción sostenible de estos insectos, con lo que se espera dar a conocer a la apicultura y meliponicultura como una actividad económica verde.

Authors: Tersue Adeke Joshua
Published: November 2023

This study determined the effect of experimental exposure of layer chickens to Escherichia coli (E. coli) on weight, egg production and some plasma biochemical parameters. A total of 20 laying chickens (20 weeks old) were acquired and assigned, at random, into infected and control groups, of 10 layers each. Birds in the infected group were challenged with 0.5 ml of bacterial aliquot containing 109 colony forming units (CFU) of the bacteria, administered intra tracheally. Five birds, from each group were selected at random and their live body weights were determined on days 0, 2, 4, 6, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42. Also, egg production was monitored, and the weekly percentage egg production of birds was calculated. Two (2) ml of blood were collected from each bird in both groups and used for plasma biochemical analyses. Finding from the research showed that E. coli infection caused reduction in feed and water consumption by day 3 post infection (pi); with subsequent reduction in body weight and egg production. The mean plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity in the infected group progressively increased from day 6 pi to reach a significantly higher (p < 0.05) value (66.4 ± 0.93 IU/L) on day 28 pi while the mean plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity progressively increased in the infected group from day 6 pi to attain the highest significant (p < 0.05) value (74.4 ± 2.11 IU/L) on day 21 pi. The mean plasma total protein concentration in the infected group decreased from day 4 pi and reached the lowest significant (p < 0.05) value (5.12 ± 0.28 mg/dl) on day 35 pi. In conclusion, the drop in egg production, loss of body weight, increase hepatic transaminases and decrease plasma protein may be attributed to anorexia or possible impairment of intestinal, renal reabsorption of nutrients from the infection.

Authors: Orkuma Ahundu Michael
Published: November 2023

The study sought to describe the relationship between socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the indigenous population living on the permanent site of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS), after they were displaced from their lands. The study adopted the sustainable rural livelihoods model as a tool for studying livelihoods in the study area. Data for this study was obtained through the administration of 349 copies of questionnaire using a multi-stage sampling technique. Socio-Economic Scale (SES) for Northern Nigeria was used to classify the respondents into three SES classes. TheSES classes of the respondents were examined using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage). The Spearman rank correlation statistic was used in testing the hypothesis for the study. The majority (65.6%) of the respondents fall into the lowest SES class using a 28- point indicator. With a p=.020, findings revealed that there was no significant correlation between income and socio-economic status of the indigenous population. The study recommends prompt payment of compensations, provision of permanent and pensionable jobs as well as access to funds for business and other entrepreneur skills as ways of supporting and boosting their livelihoods. The indigenous population can also be encouraged to form cooperatives and savings schemes to enable them to raise capital to pursue alternative livelihoods.
IMPROVEMENT PROCEDURE FOR IMAGE SEGMENTATION OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES BASED ON THE OTSU METHOD.
Authors: Vite-Chávez Osbaldo , Flores-Troncoso Jorge , Olivera-Reyna Reynel , Munoz Jorge Ulises
Published: November 2023

Currently, there are significant challenges in the classification, recognition, and detection of fruits and vegetables. An important step to solve this problem is to obtain an accurate segmentation of the object of interest. However, the background and object separation in a gray image shows high errors for some thresholding techniques due to uneven or poorly conditioned lighting. An accepted strategy to decrease the error segmentation is to select the channel of a RGB image with high contrast. This paper presents the results of an experimental procedure based on a binary segmentation enhancement by using the Otsu method. The procedure was carried out with images of real agricultural products with and without additional noise to corroborate the robustness of the proposed strategy. The experimental tests were performed by using our database of RGB images of agricultural products under uncontrolled illumination. The results exhibit that the best segmentation is based on the selection of the Blue channel of the RGB test images due to its better contrast. Here, the quantitative results are measured by applying the Jaccard and Dice metrics based on the ground-truth images as optimal reference. Most of the results show an average percentage improvement difference greater than 45.5% in two experimental tests.
Cooperativismo e a gestão social democrática como forma de desenvolvimento socioeconômico
Authors: Visintin Fábio , Estevam Dimas de Oliveira
Published: November 2023

É notável que as cooperativas, desde o seu surgimento, se encontram em constante desenvolvimento, bem como vêm passando por grandes transformações em sua conjuntura social que exigem mudanças profundas para sobreviverem em um mundo globalizado. Essas estão inseridas num contexto capitalista de não cooperação, competitividade e centralização do poder. Tal plano de fundo naturaliza uma postura mais egocêntrica dos indivíduos ao invés de posicionamentos de cooperação, inclusive dentro das cooperativas. Assim, não raras vezes, cada cooperado visa benefícios individuais e não coletivos, o que acaba fulminando com o propósito dos idealizadores de Rochdale, que tinham por finalidade a união para a extinção de desigualdades e as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos trabalhadores.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a molecule that regulates LDL cholesterol levels.Objective: the purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the evidence surrounding PCSK9 inhibition as an effective therapy for reducing cholesterol and preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.Methodology: a comprehensive literature review was conducted using medical databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Search terms included "PCSK9," "PCSK9 inhibitors," "cholesterol," "LDL," and "atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease."Results: evidence suggests that PCSK9 inhibitors are effective in reducing LDL cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia. Several clinical trials have demonstrated that these drugs can reduce LDL cholesterol by up to 60 % compared to placebo. Additionally, PCSK9 inhibitors appear to have a favorable safety profile and are well-tolerated by most patients. Several studies have also shown that PCSK9 inhibitors can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with pre-existing atherosclerotic disease.Conclusion: PCSK9 inhibitors represent a promising therapeutic strategy for LDL cholesterol control and prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Future studies should focus on determining the long-term effect of these drugs on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and exploring ways to improve access and affordability to these therapies

COVID-19 a volby a referendum v České republice: zkušenosti, otevřené otázky a podněty de lege ferenda
Authors: Grinc Jan , Antoš Marek
Published: November 2023

Článek se zabývá různými aspekty právní úpravy voleb a referenda v České republice v kontextu pandemie onemocnění COVID-19, ale potenciálně i jiných zdravotních hrozeb a mimořádných situací. Je rozdělen do dvou částí. V první části se článek zabývá výkladem ústavních podmínek pro odložení voleb, kriticky hodnotí případ odložení doplňovacích voleb do Senátu, upozorňuje na některé otevřené otázky ústavní úpravy a zaujímá k nim stanovisko. Ve druhé části článek hodnotí přijaté i nepřijaté změny volebních pravidel, které reagovaly na šíření onemocnění COVID-19. Pozornost je věnována především jednorázovým zákonům o zvláštních způsobech hlasování. V návaznosti na to se článek zamýšlí nad ústavností současné právní úpravy překážky výkonu volebního práva z důvodu ochrany veřejného zdraví a nad otázkou distančního hlasování jako prostředku pro zmírnění zdravotních rizik voleb. Článek dospívá k závěru, že Česká republika jako demokratický právní stát v obtížné situaci způsobené onemocněním COVID-19 v oblasti voleb celkově obstála. Bylo by ale vhodné zohlednit získané zkušenosti i odhalené nedostatky při revizi volebních předpisů, k čemuž zatím nedošlo.

Sexing monomorphic birds is essential for reproduction in conservation programs. In ramphastids (toucans) species, males have longer beaks than females, making beak morphometry potentially useful for sexing. In this study, we measured the following traits: curved beak length, total culmen length, straight beak length, curved and straight length of the ventral line of the gnathotheca, beak width, lateral area of the rhinotheca, and cloacal opening in 44 Keel-billed Toucans, as well as previously reported morphometric data from 17 additional individuals. Measurements were obtained using two methods (manual and image processing software), and the reliability between the two methods was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Individuals of unknown sex were sexed via PCR tests. The ICC showed poor reliability between the two measurement methods, so we only used manual measurements for comparisons between the sexes. We used GLMMs to determine whether the morphometric traits we measured could be used to determine sex in keel-billed toucans. In addition, we evaluated GLMMs to determine which morphometric trait was the strongest predictor of sex in this species. Beak length was longer in adult males than in females. The GLMMs indicated that beak traits associated with sex in this species are beak curved length, beak straight length, straight length of the ventral line of the gnathotheca, and total culmen length. The straight length of the ventral line of the gnathotheca was the strongest predictor of sex in the Keel-billed Toucan. Unlike previous research, the development of GLMMs allows us to determine the probability of a toucan’s sex based on continuous variables, facilitating sexing and allowing us to evaluate the reliability of the estimation of the sexing of each toucan. This method is an alternative for situations where other sexing methodologies cannot be performed.

MOLLUSCICIDAL POTENTIALS OF BUWA INTSIK (ADONIDA MERRILLII)
Authors: Bautista Romiro G.
Published: November 2023

This study is designed to determine the molluscicidal potentials of buwa intsik (Adonida merrillii). Young, matured, and ripe fruits of A. merrillii were crashed and fermented for three weeks and used to treat farm golden kuhol. A. merrillii, which belongs to the order arecales and family palmae, is found to contain arecoline and arecal alkaloid which inhibits acetyl-cholinesterase, and acid and alkaline phosphatase activities in the nervous tissue. Exposure to these known alkaloids attacks the central nervous system leading to the death of the golden kuhol. Statistical analyses showed that fermented ripe A. merrillii fruit was the best treatment in treating golden kuhol. Moreover, time of death of the golden kuhol in the fermented ripe fruits was the fastest among the three treatment conditions. Therefore, buwa intsik poses a great potential as molluscicide.

This study used the qualitative and quantitative experimental research design to establish the biological profile of the banana cultivars and the capability of their pseudostem sap as an alternative electrolyte for wet cell. Data were gathered by collecting banana sap and placing it in a 12-volt wet cell battery and observed at different time intervals. Mean, ANOVA, Duncan’s Multiple Range Test, LSD and pairwise comparison were used to determine significant differences between potential voltage and time interval. Bungulan, Lakatan, and Morado are derived from Musa Acuminata, while the Bulkan, Dippig, and Tordan are from the species of Musa Acuminata x Musa balbisiana. However, each cultivar is a member of a separate group, including the AABB, Cavendish subgroup of the AAA, AA, AAA, ABB, and AAB Group. The pH of the substrate is neutral, while the pH of newly harvested pseudostem sap turns acidic after 4 weeks of storage. The effects of the treatments, time interval, and their interactions produced a highly significant difference. The positive and negative control, and the six cultivars are statistically and significantly different from one another while Bungulan, Morado and Tordan cultivars are statistically the same. Week 1 had the highest voltage recorded and statistically the same mean voltages as in Weeks 2 and 4 with the lowest voltage seen in Week 3.The interaction of the sulfuric acid, distilled water, cultivars, and time interval yielded different voltage and are not statistically comparable. The pseudostem sap of the different banana cultivars contained in a 12-volt wet cell battery can lit the 5, 10 and 15-watts LED bulbs until the fourth week of storage.Using the pairwise comparisons, the treatments are statistically the same with one another. Hence, the banana pseudostem sap can be used as an alternative electrolyte for wet cell.
