Tarım arazileri ve farklı yaşlardaki sarıçam meşçerelerinde (Pinus sylvestris L.) toprak organik karbon ve azot stoklarının değişimi
Authors: Savacı Gamze , Sarıyıldız Temel
Published: June 2023

Bu çalışmada, Kastamonu ili İnebolu ilçesinde yayılış gösteren sarıçam (Pinus sylvestris L.) meşcereleri ve bitişiği tarım arazilerinde ölü örtü miktarı, toprak organik karbon (TOK) ve toplam azot (TA) stokları üzerinde farklı arazi kullanım şeklinin etkisi araştırılmıştır. Farklı yaşlardaki sarıçam meşcereleri (18- ve 30-yaş) ile en az 40 yıldır orman arazisinden tarım arazisine dönüştürülmüş alanlardan örnekleme yapılmıştır. Toprak örnekleri 5 farklı toprak derinlik kademesinden alınmış ve toprak örneklerinin pH’ı, hacim ağırlığı, alınabilir fosfor, yarayışlı potasyum, organik madde, toprak tekstürü, TOK ve TA miktarları belirlenmiştir. Toplam TOK ve TA stokları ise toprak derinliği, hacim ağırlığı, karbon ve azot miktarı çarpılarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuçlar, farklı yaşlarda sarıçam meşcereleri ve tarım arazileri arasında ölü örtü miktarı, TOK ve TA stokları arasında önemli farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiştir. Genel olarak, 30 yaşındaki sarıçam meşceresinde TOK stoku en düşük belirlenirken (86.60 t C ha-1), bunu sırasıyla tarım alanı (93.70 t ha-1), ve 18 yaşındaki sarıçam meşceresi (115.0 t ha-1) takip etmiştir. Benzer şekilde, TA stoku ise en fazla 18 yaşındaki sarıçam meşceresinde (7.86 t ha-1), en düşük 30 yaşındaki sarıçam meşceresinde (5.74 t ha-1) tespit edilmiştir. Tarım arazilerinde ölü miktarı en düşük iken, sarıçam meşcerelerinde yaşa bağlı olarak orman katmanında biriken ölü örtü miktarı artış göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, ölü örtü miktarı, TOK ve TA stokları üzerinde farklı arazi kullanım durumu ile toprak derinlik kademelerinin önemli derecede etkisi olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bu nedenle, ölü örtü miktarı, TOK ve TA stokları ile ilgili gelecekteki araştırmalarda arazi kullanım türü de dikkate alınmalı ve daha detaylı çalışmalar yürütülmelidir.
PENGELOLAAN DAN PEMANFAATAN SUMBER DAYA ALAM DALAM PERSPEKTIF EKONOMI ISLAM
Authors: Iqbal Iqbal
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

The Qur'an has provided a very clear concept related to the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources by paying attention to the natural surroundings. Humans are sent to earth as caliphs which are a manifestation of the nature of God, namely the Sustainer of Nature (Rabbul 'Alamin). Islam has provided a clear concept in natural resource management, such as the concept of ihyaul mawat or reviving the dead land and al imar or the prosperity of the surrounding environment. This concept is one of the recommendations of Islam to be able to utilize natural resources as a requirement in Islamic teachings.

 ABSTRAK

Alquran telah memberikan konsep yang sangat jelas terkait dengan pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan sumber daya alam yang berkesinambungan dengan memperhatikan alam sekitar. Manusia diutuskan ke bumi sebagai khalifah yang merupakan manifestasi dari sifat Tuhan yang Mulia yaitu Pemelihara Alam (Rabbul „Alamin). Islam telah memberikan konsep yang jelas dalam pengelolaan sumber daya alam, seperti konsep ihyaul mawat atau menghidupkan lahan mati dan al imar atau memakmurkan alam sekitar. Konsep tersebut merupakan salah satu anjuran Islam untuk dapat memanfaatkan sumber daya alam sebagai tuntutan dalam ajaran Islam.

ABSTRACT

Education has an important and effective role in the development of a nation. Various studies in many countries have found the strength of the relationship between education and the level of development of these nations. This strong relationship is shown by various economic and socio-cultural indicators. Education that has the ability to facilitate change is education of quality, and relevant to the needs of the entire community. To accelerate the improvement of student achievement in an effective, continuous and comprehensive manner, the government should not only focus on physical development alone but need to focus more on aspects that have a big impact on student achievement such as teacher quality, teaching methods and leadership in schools. The weakness of students is in applying theory to solving economic problems in the questions asked during the (national exam). Students cannot relate economic concepts and theories to the questions being asked. Students are also very weak in answering questions on the microeconomic and macroeconomic sections which contain a combination of economic concepts and mathematical formulas. A teaching method that can assist and encourage students in understanding economic concepts is indispensable.

ABSTRAK

Pendidikan mempunyai peranan penting dan efektif dalam pembangunan suatu bangsa. Berbagai kajian di banyak Negara mendapati kekuatan hubungan antara pendidikan dengan tingkat pembangunan bangsa-bangsa tersebut. Hubungan yang kuat itu ditunjukkan oleh berbagai indikator ekonomi dan sosial-budaya. Pendidikan yang mempunyai kemampuan memfasilitasi perubahan adalah pendidikan yang berkualitas, dan relevan dengan keperluan seluruh masyarakatnya. Untuk mempercepat perbaikan prestasi pelajar secara efektif, terus menerus dan menyeluruh, pemerintah tidak boleh hanya memberi fokus kepada pembangunan fisik semata-mata tetapi perlu lebih memberikan fokus kepada aspek yang memberi impak besar kepada prestasi pelajar seperti kualitas guru, metode pengajaran dan kepemimpinan di sekolah. Kelemahan pelajar yaitu di dalam pengaplikasian teori bagi penyelesaian masalah ekonomi di dalam soal yang ditanya semasa (ujian nasional). Pelajar tidak dapat mengaitkan konsep dan teori ekonomi dengan soal yang ditanyakan. Para pelajar juga amat lemah di dalam menjawab soal bahagian mikro ekonomi dan makro ekonomi yang mengandung gabungan antara konsep ekonomi dan rumus matematik. Satu metode pengajaran yang boleh membantu dan mendorong para pelajar di dalam memahami konsep-konsep ekonomi sangat diperlukan.

ZAKAT PROFESI (PERSPEKTIF FIQH KLASIK DAN KONTEMPORER)
Authors: Wahid Nazaruddin A , Hamdani Hamdani
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Classical jurisprudence has established obligatory zakat on the salaries of soldiers, the salaries of judges and the rewards of the profession of Madalim officers (lawyers) which have been practiced by Ibn Mas'ud, Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sofyan and Umar ibn Abdul Aziz. Contemporary fiqh only extends this concept to a situation that is relevant to the change of profession that is being struggled between the situation in the early days of Islam and the present. However, it is acknowledged that there are certain sects that do not mention the zakat of the profession such as the Malikiyah and Syafiíyah groups. There is no qath'i text, either in the Qur'an or in the Sunnah about the nisab of zakat of the profession, therefore the determination of nisab is done by using qiyas and scholars agree to rely on the nisab of zakat harta. Some other scholars, compare it to zakat zuru ', and naqdin. The Indonesian Muslim community is based on zakat naqdin, so that the nisab is equated with 20 dinars or 200 dirhams with the current dose of 85 grams of pure gold and the zakat rate of 2.5 %. Regarding who has the right to collect zakat, including professional zakat, there is no difference between classical fiqh and contemporary fiqh, who has the right to collect and collect zakat is the government, in practice partnering with specialized institutions. Similarly, the utilization of zakat, can be done productively and consumptively with consideration of the basis of the greater benefits received by the mustahik.

ABSTRAK

Fiqh klasik telah menetapkan wajib zakat terhadap gaji tentara, gaji Hakim dan imbalan profesi petugas Madalim (pengacara) yang telah diprakteekkan oleh Ibnu Mas’ud, Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sofyan dan Umar bin Abdul Aziz. Fiqh kontemporer hanyalah mengembangkan konsep ini kepada keadaan yang relevan dengan perubahan profesi yang digeluti antara keadaan pada masa awal Islam dengan masa sekarang. Namun diakui ada golongan mazhab tertentu yang tidak menukilkan mengenai zakat profesi seperti golongan Malikiyah dan Syafiíyah. Tidak ada nas yang qath’i, baik dalam al-Quran maupun dalam al-Sunnah tentang nisab zakat profesi, karenanya penetapan nisab dilakukan dengan menggunakan qiyas dan sepakat ulama menyandarkan kepada nisab zakat harta. Sebagian ulama lain, mengqiyaskan kepada zakat zuru’, dan naqdin. Masyarakat muslim Indonesia mendasarkan zakat naqdin, sehingga nisabnya disamakan dengan 20 dinar atau 200 dirham dengan takaran sekarang 85 gram emas murni dan kadar zakatnya 2,5 %. Mengenai siapa yang berhak mengumpulkan zakat, termasuk zakat profesi, tidak ada perbedaan antara fiqh klasik dan fiqh kontemporer, yang berhak memungut dan mengumpulkan zakat adalah pemerintah, dalam praktiknya bermitra dengan lembaga khusus. Demikian juga tentang pemanfaatan zakat, dapat dilakukan secara produktif dan konsumtif dengan pertimbangan asas manfaat lebih besar diterima oleh mustahik.

Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the leading causes of infant mortality, a pivotal indicator of maternal and child health, and a serious public health issue that can cause complications even in adulthood. The study focused on determining the factors that are associated with low birth weight in Hopley farm, Harare. The study participants consisted of 90 cases and 90 controls. Delivery registers were reviewed to obtain participants’ physio-demographic, medical, and obstetric data. Phone calls were used to obtain socioeconomic and nutritional data from participants and a structured questionnaire was used to document information. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios and p-values in order to determine the association at 95% confidence interval. Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) was calculated to determine food consumption related indicators. Controls had a higher dietary diversity score than cases. The prevalence of LBW in Hopley was 13%. The study identified getting pregnant at age below 20 years, gravida 1 status, parity, lack of nutritional / counselling education, history of delivering low birth weight infants, affiliation to an African apostolic church, low income less than USD20, vending and eating mound to be significant predictors of LBW. LBW was found to be related to socioeconomic, medical, nutritive, and demographic factors. The study recommends more exploration on the impact of the level of nutritional education on LBW problem in Zimbabwe and the possibility of offering incentives to encourage childbearing women to acquire nutritional education.

The Effect of Grain Size and Silicon Content on Non-Oriented Grain Steel Anomalous Loss Through Frequency Excitation in The Medical Healthcare by Using Big Data Analysis
Authors: RS Aiswarya , Kumar R Veerandra , P Punitha
Published: June 2023

Using steels for commercial electromagnetic purposes produced by the Jordan Steel Group, the current research will look into the effects of grain size and excitation frequency on anomalous losses and the characteristics of the hysteresis curve of the anomalous loss. The final heat treatment of 21 steel samples for commercial electromagnetic purposes, divided into three groups differing in chemical composition, was carried out in the laboratory to determine the influence of electrical resistivity, grain size, and excitation frequency on total, hysteretic, and seek a better understanding of the effect of these variables on the anomalous loss portion. Compare the experimental data to the hypothesized constitutive equations in the literature and study to create the parasitic loss plus hysteretic loss curve using interpolation, superimpose it on the total loss hysteresis curve, then correlate the areas between the curves with anomalous loss and energy dissipation processes. It is possible to determine from micrographs and grain sizes that there was an increase in grain size due to normal brain development and a minor fraction of aberrant growth at high temperatures.
Accessibility Study of mHealth Systems Based on The Internet of Things (IoT)
Authors: CB Sivaparthipan , M Dr.Karthick
Published: June 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become part of people's daily life, allowing physical and digital contact. The rise of mobile devices and scientific and technological advances in health have led to breakthroughs in meeting consumer needs. mHealth refers to using mobile devices to improve healthcare services, increase medical care, and reduce costs. Mobile cloud computing (MCC) lets users bypass mobile device limits on processing, storage, and battery life. A body area network uses implanted wireless sensors to remotely monitor patients (WBAN). These networks collect and distribute data for disease diagnosis and prevention. This mix of technologies allows hospitals and clinics new ways to treat and monitor patients. This research examines IoT availability in mHealth. The analysed architecture includes wireless sensors to monitor patients, an intra-BAN, a mobile device with a battery and communication interfaces, an extra-BAN with Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, and a cloud environment to store data. Hierarchical models were developed using RBD and continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC). Each component's MTTF (mean time to failure) and MTTR (mean time to repair) values are used to quantify system or section availability. Experiments were conducted to test mHealth availability parameters. Intra-BAN, Zigbee, or Bluetooth protocols have no meaningful impact on system availability. For households, two small routers in the extra-BAN are more effective than one large router. Finally, backup batteries and power banks boost availability. The offered models can help developers and maintainers scale mHealth systems based on service needs.

Scenic Anxiety in Professional Music Education Studies Learners’
Authors: Montiel Guirado Elvira , Clares-Clares Esperanza
Published: June 2023

La Ansiedad Escénica Musical (AEM) es un constructo subjetivo de carácter desadaptativo creado por el propio músico. Este trastorno desencadena una serie de síntomas físicos, cognitivos y conductuales que suponen la disminución de la eficacia interpretativa en público y un riesgo para la salud integral de quien lo padece. Por tanto, se trata de un problema que afecta a músicos, tanto a estudiantes como a profesionales, y constituye un verdadero obstáculo para su carrera. En este trabajo se mide el nivel de AEM en estudiantes de la titulación de Enseñanzas Profesionales de Música de la Región de Murcia y se diseña una propuesta de intervención a través del Yoga para disminuir aquellos síntomas que resulten más significativos. Para ello, a una muestra de 403 alumnos se le administró la versión traducida al castellano del cuestionario K-MPAI (Kenny-Music Performance Anxiety Inventory) diseñado y validado por Kenny (2009). Los resultados indican que los factores de la AEM que alcanzan un nivel más alto son la aprehensión ansiosa, la ansiedad somática proximal y la preocupación/miedo. Se concluye que las mujeres, los instrumentistas de viento, los estudiantes que tienen padres músicos, así como quienes han cursado estudios musicales durante más años presentan niveles superiores de AEM frente a sus homólogos grupos de comparación.

Authors: Sempere Comas Núria , Gisbert Cervera Mercè
Published: June 2023

La ubicación de los centros de enseñanzas artísticas superiores (EAS) en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) está todavía por completar más de diez años después de su implantación. La literatura académica y las personas responsables de la gestión coinciden en que la legislación española vigente impide desarrollar tres aspectos esenciales: la autonomía institucional, el desarrollo de la investigación y la equiparación de los derechos del alumnado y el profesorado a los del resto de la comunidad universitaria. Este artículo presenta una reflexión documentada sobre la situación actual de los centros EAS de música, aporta nuevos datos que permitirán desarrollar políticas coherentes en función de las necesidades del sistema formativo y concluye que los centros de EAS, en general, están preparados para abordar estos retos. Para realizar la propuesta hemos tenido como referencia a distintos centros europeos que presentan modelos de éxito de EAS.

Music perception, sound production, and their relationships in bowed string instrumentalists: A systematic review
Authors: López Calatayud Fernando
Published: June 2023

La percepción musical y la producción de sonido son habilidades muy importantes en la formación de músicos que tocan instrumentos de cuerda frotada. El propósito de esta revisión bibliográfica es resumir el conocimiento de estas habilidades y la relación entre ellas. Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática de la literatura utilizando el protocolo PRISMA. Los estudios se extrajeron de Sage, Scopus, WoS y JSTOR utilizando los términos: música, afinación, entonación y percepción. Se encontraron un total de 1819 estudios y se seleccionaron 29. Los estudios analizados abarcaron el período de 1937 a 2019 y los niveles desde la escuela primaria hasta los instrumentistas profesionales. El análisis aplicó seis categorías predeterminadas a los datos extraídos de los estudios seleccionados mostrando, en el mejor de los casos, una relación moderada entre ambas habilidades. Los datos podrían confirmar un aumento en la relación entre las dos habilidades debido a factores como el aprendizaje y las etapas de desarrollo. No obstante, estas etapas están relacionadas con la automatización de esquemas psicomotores y el desarrollo cognitivo, así como con el desarrollo de la expresión musical de los estudiantes. Se discuten varias tendencias aparentes relacionadas con la percepción musical y la producción de sonido.

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are broadly conserved in eukaryotes but are also frequently lost during evolution. The mammalian SNF2 family ATPase HELLS and its plant ortholog DDM1 are critical for the maintenance of 5mC. Mutations in HELLS, its activator subunit CDCA7, and the de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3B, cause immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome, a genetic disorder associated with the loss of DNA methylation. We here examine the coevolution of CDCA7, HELLS and DNMTs. While DNMT3, the maintenance DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1), HELLS, and CDCA7 are all highly conserved in vertebrates and green plants, they are frequently lost in other evolutionary clades. The presence-absence patterns of these genes are not random; almost all CDCA7 harboring eukaryote species also have HELLS and DNMT1 (or another maintenance methyltransferase, DNMT5), whereas species that maintain DNMT1 or HELLS without CDCA7 are identified in several clades, such as Fungi and Ecdysozoa. Coevolution of presence-absence patterns (CoPAP) analysis in Ecdysozoa further indicates coevolutionary linkages among CDCA7, HELLS, DNMT1 and its activator UHRF1. Our study suggests that a unique specialized role of CDCA7 in HELLS-dependent DNA methylation maintenance is broadly inherited from the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

Chronic high-fat feeding triggers widespread metabolic dysfunction including obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. While these ultimate pathological states are relatively well understood, we have a limited understanding of how high-fat intake first triggers physiological changes. Here, we identify an acute microglial metabolic response that rapidly translates intake of high-fat diet (HFD) to a surprisingly beneficial effect on spatial and learning memory. Acute high-fat intake increases palmitate levels in cerebrospinal fluid and triggers a wave of microglial metabolic activation characterized by mitochondrial membrane activation, fission and metabolic skewing towards aerobic glycolysis. These effects are generalized, detectable in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and cortex all within 1-3 days of HFD exposure. In vivo microglial ablation and conditional DRP1 deletion experiments show that the microglial metabolic response is necessary for the acute effects of HFD.

C-tracing experiments reveal that in addition to processing via β-oxidation, microglia shunt a substantial fraction of palmitate towards anaplerosis and re-release of bioenergetic carbons into the extracellular milieu in the form of lactate, glutamate, succinate, and intriguingly, the neuro-protective metabolite itaconate. Together, these data identify microglial cells as a critical nutrient regulatory node in the brain, metabolizing away harmful fatty acids and liberating the same carbons instead as alternate bioenergetic and protective substrates. The data identify a surprisingly beneficial effect of short-term HFD on learning and memory.
A Gift of Blood: Opinions and Experience of Voluntary Blood Donors on Repeat Blood Donation
Authors: Khalfan Seif S. , Kakoko D. C. V.
Published: June 2023

Donating blood is an essential practice that can help save lives. Effective strategies are necessary to attract and keep blood donors to meet the demand for safe blood. To evaluate the experience of voluntary blood donors in Zanzibar, a survey was conducted, and purposive sampling was used to select participants who had donated blood multiple times. The study involved interviewing 15 repeat blood donors, and the data collected was analyzed thematically. Two main themes emerged from the analysis: motivators and barriers. Despite a few negative effects, most participants had positive experiences with repeat blood donation, and only few experienced physical reactions during or after the process. The study concludes that blood donors in Zanzibar generally have good experience towards repeat blood donation, although community participation, education, and sensitization are needed to recruit and maintain more donors.

Published: June 2023

Background: The inhibition of key enzymes involved in type II diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease is an effective therapeutic approach for managing these health disorders. This study aimed to assess the antidiabetic and neuroprotective effects of Pistacia lentiscus L.

Methods: The potential of Pistacia lentiscus L. fatty oil (PLFO) was investigated against the activities of α-amylase, α-glucosidase, acetylcholinesterase, and butyrylcholinesterase. Additionally, the unsaponifiable matter (USM) of this oil was isolated and screened for the same activities. Furthermore, the antioxidant power of both extracts was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, and CUPRAC assays.

Results: The results revealed that PLFO exhibited a low antioxidant effect primarily due to its USM. The potent antidiabetic effect of PLFO was also attributed to its USM, while the whole oil was responsible for the neuroprotective effect.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that PLFO and its USM could serve as natural sources of compounds for managing type II diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Published: June 2023

The COVID‐19 crisis provided an opportunity for information professionals to rethink the role of information in individuals' decision making such as vaccine uptake. Unlike previous studies, which often considered information as a single factor among others, this study examined the impact of the quantity and trustworthiness of information on people's adoption of information for vaccination decisions based on the information adoption model. We analyzed COVID‐19 Preventive Behavior Survey data collected by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from Facebook users (N = 82,213) in 15 countries between October 2020 and March 2021. The results of logistic regression analyses indicate that reasonable quantity and trustworthiness of information were positively related to COVID‐19 vaccination intent. But excessive and less than the desired amount of information was more likely to have negative impacts on vaccination intent. The degrees of trust in the mediums and in the sources were associated with the level of vaccine acceptance. But the effects of trustworthiness accorded to information sources showed variations across sources and mediums. Implications for information professionals and suggestions for policies are discussed.
First‐order fractional step finite element method for the 2D/3D unstationary incompressible thermomicropolar fluid equations
Authors: Bi Xiaowei , Liu Demin
Published: June 2023

In this paper, the first‐order fractional step finite element method to solve the 2D/3D unstationary incompressible thermomicropolar fluid equations (ITME) is proposed. At each time step, the projection strategy about the linear velocity is adopted to get the linear velocity and pressure values in the first two sub‐steps, and then the angular velocity and temperature values are solved in the last two sub‐steps. Based on the proposed method, the variational problem is decomposed into four linear subproblems. By using the energy analysis technique, the unconditional stability and error estimates about the first‐order semi‐discrete method are derived, and the unconditional stability about the first‐order fully discrete method is analyzed. Finally, some numerical experiments are carried out to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the method.
The TCFHs of D = 11 AdS backgrounds and hidden symmetries
Authors: Papadopoulos G. , Pérez-Bolaños E.
Published: June 2023

Abstract

We present the TCFHs of all AdS backgrounds of 11-dimensional supergravity and explore some of the properties of the associated connections. Therefore, we demonstrate that all Killing spinor bilinears satisfy a generalisation of the conformal Killing-Yano equations with respect to the TCFH connection. In addition, we explore the hidden symmetries of spinning particle probes propagating on these backgrounds. We give several examples of hidden symmetries for probes on the maximal supersymmetric AdS backgrounds as well as on some AdS backgrounds that arise as near horizon geometries of intersecting M-branes.
