The Challenges Experienced by Visually Impaired Students in Moroccan Universities
Authors: Tahiri Halima
Published: August 2023

The current study aimed to investigate the challenges and barriers faced by visually impaired students in an educational environment, particularly in Moroccan universities. To identify these challenges and barriers, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 visually impaired students from the majority of Moroccan universities to explain the challenges these students experienced in their studies, mainly during the exam. Equally important, this research examines the impact of these challenges on the academic performance of this kind of population with disabilities in Morocco. The study found that visually impaired students experienced four main challenges in Moroccan Universities: administrative, academic, environmental, and social difficulties. Based on these findings, a set of recommendations to Moroccan policymakers was made to respond properly to the needs of persons with disabilities and deal with the challenges that visually impaired students face when learning and taking exams in higher education regularly. Indeed, this research will play a crucial role in raising the awareness of Moroccan universities about the meaning of inclusive education and the importance of creating an inclusive and diverse environment in which visually impaired students can lean equally as their non-visually impaired peers can.

Authors: Ouafaa Belouiza , Koumachi Bbani
Published: August 2023

It has been well-documented that the use of authentic materials while teaching reading comprehension can be one of the keys to motivate students interacts with the reading texts. Moroccan ELT textbook sometimes go beyond learners' level and interest. For these reasons, it becomes very necessary for teachers to vary materials and strategies while teaching reading comprehension. This paper aimed to investigate the attitudes of Moroccan EFL teachers towards the use of authentic materials in teaching reading comprehension to senior high schools. Six English teachers took part in completing a survey questionnaire for the purpose of the study. The researcher, therefore, aims to find out whether the use authentic materials can motivate learners interact with the reading texts and voice out their opinions. The results obtained indicated most teachers agree that texts mentioned in the textbook go beyond the level of students' understanding because of the difficulty students face while dealing with texts in the textbook. Most teachers perceive the use of authentic materials as useful for motivating students to be engaged in the learning process. That is, English teachers have positive attitude towards the use of authentic materials.

Sadd Al-Żari'ah Review of Iṡbāt Nikah Sirri at the Syar'iyah Court in Banda Aceh
Authors: Aziz Nasaiy , Rafidah Rafidah
Published: August 2023

Iṡbāt nikah is a marriage determination in order to obtain authentic evidence and to obtain protection and legal force, especially for wife and children. The Syar'iyah Court has the authority to receive, examine and adjudicate cases between people who are Muslim. One of them is the application for iṡbāt marriage Number 232/Pdt.P/2022/MS.Bna. However, after being studied and tried, this application was rejected by the panel of judges because it did not meet the requirements for the granting of the marriage iṡbāt. Therefore, the author wants to know what is the basis for the consideration of the panel of judges at the Banda Aceh Syar'iyah Court in rejecting the application for iṡbāt nikah from a sirri marriage in case Number 232/Pdt.P/2022/MS.Bna. And what about sadd al-żari'ah's review of the stipulation and legal basis for the consideration of the panel of judges at the Banda Aceh Syar'iyah Court rejecting the application for iṡbāt nikah from a sirri marriage in case Number 232/Pdt.P/2022/MS.Bna. In this study the authors used a qualitative research method with a normative juridical approach and used a type of library research (Library Research). The results of this study indicate that the panel of judges rejected the application for iṡbāt marriage Number 232/Pdt.P/2022/MS.Bna because the marriage guardian of Petitioner II (wife) is not his biological father or a person who has blood relations with Petitioner II, but tengku who was at the Islamic boarding school where they got married and was also not represented by Petitioner II's biological father to said tengku. Iṡbāt nikah is in accordance with the theory of sadd al-żari'ah. This is necessary to realize benefit and avoid damage.
Analysis of regional geodetic GNSS networks properties built through the relative method. Complete case
Authors: Bovshin N.A.
Published: August 2023

In this paper we continue to study the statistical properties of adjusted station coordinates in permanent geodetic networks. Analytical constructing the variance-covariance matrix of the measured vectors redundant set’s coordinates taking into account the covariances between vectors with common stations, is performed. The main attributes of this matrix are shown.Analytical modeling the adjustment of the measured vectors’ redundant set, which has such attributes, is performed. The variance-covariance matrix of the vector network’s adjusted coordinates is obtained and its properties are analyzed. It is shown that at using a simplified method for constructing such network, which neglects correlations between the errors of the measured baselines, the accuracy of its solution is overestimated, but the structure of the covariance matrix does not change. Analytical modeling of the network’s behavior in time is done, taking into account its possible internal dynamics, i.e. temporal changes of the geodetic stations’ relative positions that form it. It is shown that a dynamic vector solution has the same properties as the individual ones which make it, if they use redundant sets of measured vectors of the same type

O que é o público?
Authors: Mantecón Ana Rosas
Published: August 2023

O trabalho indica a necessidade de se complementar a investigação sobre como são os públicos das ofertas culturais com a análise do que é o público, isto é, os papéis encontrados nestas ofertas e seus públicos dentro do campo cultural e as implicações destes pactos em um marco social mais amplo. Fundamenta-se a proposta a partir da revisão de alguns dos deslocamentos conceituais desenvolvidos na reflexão sobre a temática: a passagem da compreensão dessa relação como simples imposição ou aquisição, para o reconhecimento de sujeitos que desenvolvem práticas de negociação, apropriação e produção de sentido, além do questionamento do modelo exclusivamente comunicativo, com o reconhecimento das práticas culturais multidimensionais.

silêncio contém o tempo
Authors: Rúbia Sant’Anna Mara
Published: August 2023

Segundo Jacques Rancière (2012) todas as imagens possuem uma potência que decorre da sua dupla condição de “presença sensível bruta” e de “discurso cifrando uma história” (p. 20). Tal condição opera um regime próprio que articula o visível e o dizível, de maneira que se vê além do mostrado e se pensa, deduz e fala mesmo sem que hajam palavras ou legendas a restringir a potência de expressão da imagem. Da articulação entre o visto e o dito se impõe uma narrativa visual. Todavia, o encanto da série fotográfica a seguir deriva do quanto o mostrado, os referentes de uma paisagem, impõem o silêncio, que não evita o pensar, o deduzir e mesmo o falar, contudo, o mote deste silêncio convoca um tempo distante, um tempo do qual nada se tem a dizer. Há apenas a sensação que “houve”. O que? Não importa.
Atractivos para un turismo consentido. Nueva morfología para la gestión turística desde la sustentabilidad
Authors: Rivera Berrío Andrés
Published: August 2023

años los intentos por crear una nueva clasificación morfológica de los conceptos, metodologías, técnicas y tecnologías aplicadas en el turismo contemporáneo, quedaron inconclusos hasta que luego de romper múltiples paradigmas, surgió la opción de pensarla como un cubo, que como modelo en tercera dimensión lograría darle forma y fondo a una nueva morfología turística, que hiciera fácil comprender la complejidad en la planificación y gestión del turismo. El nuevo modelo morfológico que se ofrece en este libro se logró concebir desde la noción del atractivo turístico como génesis y pivote conceptual del mismo. El turismo contemporáneo surge por la inclusión de recursos turísticos basados en bienes naturales, culturales y sociales, que son objeto del diseño y desarrollo de actividades gestadas a partir de modelos recreacionales para darles valor agregado que enriquezca la vivencia del turista y respete a la comunidad anfitriona. Hoy el turista quiere nuevas emociones, satisfechas a través de experiencias memorables, y ello sólo lo brindan las actividades especializadas, creativas e innovadoras. Pero para su obtención, se hace necesario y exigible el desarrollo y aplicación de modelos de gestión sustentables para la conservación, salvaguardia u ordenamiento de esos bienes naturales, culturales y sociales, respectivamente, para poder viabilizar su usufructo turístico. Resulta entendible, entonces, porque el cubo se bautizó con el acróstico GATUS, que recoge las iniciales de “Gestión desde los Atractivos Turísticos Sustentables”. Se acometió la sistematización de una nueva morfología para el turismo sin perder la idea de que posiblemente se está aportando para la construcción de una epistemología para el turismo.
A genetic algorithm inspired method for semantic web service discovery using entropy-based deep neural network clustering and singular value decomposition
Authors: Mehrotra Manish Kumar , Kanungo Suvendu
Published: August 2023

Abtract: Web Services play a crucial role in the realm of
e-business applications in view of the rapid growth of web servce
technologies. Effectively discovering the most pertinent web services
from an extensive collection is pivotal for seamless application
execution. However, extracting the most pertinent web services is still
a challenging task due to poor query results with lack of semantics, low
precision and recall rates. While past studies have employed various
methods for web service discovery, this paper incorporates a
collaborative filtering approach by employing singular value
decomposition (SVD) matrix factorization to capture the principal
sematics hidden behind a user query and the description in services. The
proposed work aims to enhance the retrieval of relevant outcomes for
user queries by leveraging a genetic algorithm inspired collaborative
SVD (G-CSVD) matrix factorization technique. This is complemented by an
entropy-based deep neural network clustering process, culminating in
efficient service discovery. Post-clustering, the knowledge base is
integrated into user queries, utilizing the SPARQL endpoint for data
retrieval and manipulation within the resource description framework
(RDF) database. As a result, the proposed methodology yields pertinent
outcomes from the RDF data store in response to user queries.This
research contributes an in-depth analysis encompassing execution time,
service discovery time, cluster accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score,
search time, execution time, root mean square error (RMSE), and mean
square error (MSE). Furthermore, a comparative assessment against
conventional methods highlights the efficiency and effectiveness of the
proposed approach.

Published: August 2023

We present a complete portable pipeline for sequencing and analysis of
environmental metagenomes in less than a day. This unprecedented
development was possible due to the conjunction of state-of-the art
experimental and computational advances: a portable laboratory suitable
for DNA extraction and sequencing with nanopore technology.The powerful
metagenomic analysis pipeline SqueezeMeta, capable to provide a complete
analysis in a few hours and using scarce computational resources.
Finally, tools for the automatic inspection of the results via a
graphical user interface, that can be coupled to a web server to allow
remote visualization of data (SQMtools and SQMxplore). We tested the
feasibility of our approach in the sequencing of the microbiota
associated to volcanic rocks in La Palma, Canary Islands. Also, we did a
two-day sampling campaign of marine waters in which the results obtained
the first day guided the experimental design of the second day. We
demonstrate that it is possible to generate metagenomic information in
less than one day, making it feasible to obtain taxonomic and functional
profiles fast and efficiently, even in field conditions. This capacity
can be used in the further to perform real-time functional and taxonomic
profiling of microbial communities in remote areas
Linking optical data and nitrates in the Lower Mississippi River to enable satellite-based monitoring of nutrient reduction goals

Published: August 2023

Hypoxic zones and associated nitrate pollution from farms, cities, and
industrial facilities is driving declines in water quality that affect
ecosystems, economies and human health in major rivers and coastal areas
worldwide. In the Mississippi River, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency set a goal of reducing nitrogen loading 20% by 2025
but estimating progress toward this goal is difficult because data from
in-stream gauges and laboratory samples are too sparse. Satellites have
the potential to provide sufficient data across the Mississippi River,
if a key methodological challenge can be overcome. Satellites provide
data from visible light, but nitrates are only observable with
ultraviolet light. We address this methodological challenge by using a
two-step surrogate modeling procedure to link optical data and nitrates
in the Lower Mississippi River. First, we correlate in-situ nitrate
measurements to common water quality parameters, particularly turbidity
and chlorophyll, using data from water sensors installed at Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, USA, and a long-term data set from Louisiana State
University. Second, we correlate these water quality data to satellite
estimates of water quality parameters. We found a correlation between
these water quality parameters and nitrate concentrations, as indicated
by a coefficient of determination, when the relationship was viewed in
non-linear parameter space. The spatial extent of the correlation was
tested with an upstream nitrate sensor 140 km north of the estimation
location. These results provide proof-of-concept that we can develop
models that use satellite data to provide large scale monitoring of
nitrates across the Mississippi River Basin and other impaired rivers,
globally.
Near-Surface Full-Waveform Inversion Reveals Bedrock Controls on Critical Zone Architecture
Authors: Eppinger Benjamin J , Holbrook W. Steven , Liu Zhaolun , Flinchum Brady A , Tromp Jeroen
Published: August 2023

For decades, seismic imaging methods have been used to study the
critical zone, Earth’s thin, life-supporting skin. The vast majority of
critical zone seismic studies use traveltime tomography, which poorly
resolves heterogeneity at many scales relevant to near-surface
processes, therefore, limiting progress in critical zone science.
Full-waveform inversion can overcome this limitation by leveraging more
of the seismic waveform and enhancing the resolution of geophysical
imaging. In this study, we apply full-waveform inversion to elucidate
previously undetected heterogeneity in the critical zone at a
well-studied catchment in the Laramie Range, Wyoming. In contrast to
traveltime tomograms from the same data set, our results show variations
in depth to bedrock ranging from 5 to 60 meters over lateral scales of
just tens of meters and image steep low-velocity anomalies suggesting
hydrologic pathways into the deep critical zone. Our results also show
that areas with thick fractured bedrock layers correspond to zones of
slightly lower velocities in the deep bedrock, while zones of high
bedrock velocity correspond to sharp vertical transitions from bedrock
to saprolite. By corroborating these findings with borehole imagery, we
hypothesize that lateral changes in bedrock fracture density majorly
impact critical zone architecture. Borehole data also show that our
full-waveform inversion results agree significantly better with velocity
logs than previously published traveltime tomography models.
Full-waveform inversion thus appears unprecedently capable of imaging
the spatially complex porosity structure crucial to critical zone
hydrology and processes.
Det globale grønne skiftet: Mer evolusjon enn revolusjon
Authors: Fagerberg Jan
Published: August 2023

FNs klimapanel har pekt på at utslippene av klimagasser må reduseres til null innen midten av dette århundre om vi skal ha håp om å unngå alvorlige skadevirkninger for natur og samfunn. Denne artikkelen analyserer prosessen fram mot nullutslipp, det globale grønne skiftet, og drivkreftene bak dette, inkludert politikkens rolle. Siden 80 prosent av verdens klimagassutslipp kommer fra bruk av fossil energi, er overgangen fra et system basert på fossil energi til et drevet av fornybar energi spesielt viktig. Tre aspekter ved dette skiftet, som det fokuseres på i artikkelen, er massive økninger i produksjon av grønn elektrisitet, bruk av dette til erstatning for fossile brensler i ulike deler av samfunnet, og forbedringer i infrastruktur som knytter disse sammen. Etter å ha analysert dynamikken i det grønne skiftet går artikkelen mer i dybden på hvordan noen sentrale teknologier i skiftet, nemlig solenergi, vindenergi, batterier og elektriske biler, har utviklet seg over tid, inkludert hvilken betydning holdninger, etterspørsel og politikk har hatt for hva som har skjedd. Til slutt reiser vi spørsmålet om hva man kan lære av dette.
Abstract in English:The global green shift: More evolution than revolutionUN’s climate panel has concluded that emissions of climate gasses must be reduced to net zero by the middle of this century if serious damages to nature and society are to be avoided. This article analyses the process towards a net-zero society, the global green shift, and the driving forces behind these changes, including the role of policy. Since 80% of global emissions stem from use of fossil energy, the transition from a fossil-fuel based system to a system powered by renewables becomes particularly important. Three aspects of the shift, discussed in the article, are massive increases in production of green electricity, use of this as substitute for fossil fuels in various parts of society, and improvements in the infrastructure that knits these elements together. Having analysed the dynamics of the green shift, the article goes more in depth on how some central technologies, i.e., solar and wind energy, batteries and electrical cars, have evolved, including what role public opinion, demand, and policy have had for what happened. Finally, the lessons from the study are considered.
Norsk tenestehandel og EØS
Authors: Nordaas Hildegunn Kyvik
Published: August 2023

Denne artikkelen ser på korleis EØS-medlemskapet har påverka norsk teneste­handel. Ved hjelp av ein gravitasjonsmodell studerer eg først verknaden av EØS for handel med tenester generelt. Deretter går artikkelen inn på sentrale tenestesektorar og studerer effekten av spesifikke handelspolitiske indikatorar. Analysen viser at EØS-avtalen er assosiert med rundt 35 prosent høgare eksport samanlikna med ein frihandelsavtale. I finansielle tenester og kommunikasjonstenester er eksporten rundt 50 prosent høgare med EØS-avtalen samanlikna med ein handelsavtale. Brexit endrar desse estimata overraskande lite. Opne, velregulerte og harmoniserte marknader for kommunikasjonstenester er spesielt viktig for tenestehandelen.
Abstract in English:Norwegian Services Trade and the EEAAgainst the backdrop of a new debate about a possible free trade agreement replacing Norway’s EEA membership, this article studies the impact of the EEA agreement on Norway’s services trade. Using the structural gravity model, it first analyses the impact of EEA on total services trade. Norway’s total services exports is estimated to be about 35 percent higher within EEA than with a hypothetical free trade agreement. The article next focuses on financial services and communications services. Compared to the hypothetical free trade agreement the EEA agreement has raised trade by about 50 percent in both sectors. Furthermore, providing the essential infrastructure for trade, the internal market for telecommunications and finance has boosted trade in all services sectors. Brexit does not change these estimates much.
En reise fra klassisk til nyere handelsteori
Authors: Gaasland Ivar
Published: August 2023

Siden 1970-tallet har det vært en rivende utvikling innenfor handelsteori, motivert av empiriske observasjoner som ikke har passet med den klassiske teorien om komparative fortrinn. Ved komparative fortrinn drives handelen av forskjeller mellom land, og det utveksles varer som tilhører ulike næringer. Hva forklarer da den stadig økende handelen med liknende varer (som ølmerker) mellom liknende land (som Sverige og Danmark)? Og hvorfor domineres handelen av relativt få bedrifter, mens de fleste holder seg i hjemmemarkedet? Artikkelen ser nærmere på nyere handelsteori som kan bidra til å forklare slike observasjoner. Handel gjør det lettere å utnytte stordriftsfordeler i produksjon av differensierte varer innenfor en næring. Teorien viser at dette skaper gevinster ved handel som er uavhengig av komparative fortrinn. Et banebrytende trekk ved nyere teori er at produksjon og handel modelleres på bedriftsnivå. Ved å bringe inn forskjeller i produktivitet mellom bedrifter, skapes en ramme for å studere karakteristika ved bedrifter som opererer i internasjonale markeder. Tilgang til handelsdata på transaksjonsnivå – mellom kjøper og selger – har i tillegg åpnet et nytt univers for empiriske studier. I artikkelen gjennomgås og forklares noen viktige bidrag innenfor nyere handelsteori. Trekk ved norsk næringsstruktur drøftes avslutningsvis i lys av nyere handelsteori.
Abstract in English:A Journey from Classical to Modern Trade TheoryInternational trade theory has since the mid-1970s experienced a rapid development, motivated by empirical observations that seemed inconsistent with classical comparative advantage theory. Under comparative advantage, countries trade to takes advantage of their differences, i.e., countries exchange products across industries. What could then explain the increasing exchange of similar products (e.g., beer brands) between similar countries (e.g., Denmark and Sweden)? And why is trade dominated by relatively few firms, while most firms are confined to their home market? This article provides a survey of modern trade theory that illuminates such observations. Trade increases market size which makes it easier to exploit economics of scale in production of differentiated products within an industry. The theory demonstrates that this generates gains from trade decoupled from comparative advantage. A seminal feature of modern theory is that production and trade are modeled at the firm-level. By introducing differences in productivity between firms, it is possible to study characteristics of firms that operate in international markets. Recent access to trade data at the transaction level has opened a new universe for empirical studies in this area. This article presents some important contributions of the modern trade theory. In conclusion, features of the Norwegian industry structure are discussed and related to modern trade theory.
Mindre konflikt, mer matsikkerhet: En casestudie av Cauca, Colombia
Authors: Carpena Fenella , Bejarano Nury Bibian
Published: August 2023

Denne artikkelen undersøker forholdet mellom konflikt og matsikkerhet i Cauca, Colombia. Vi benytter oss av det naturlige eksperimentet som kom i stand som følge av våpenhvilen i 2014 erklært av Colombias revolusjonære væpnede styrker (FARC), den største opprørsgruppen i landet. Våpenhvilen resulterte i en kraftig nedgang i FARC-relatert vold, som ble ytterligere befestet da den colombianske regjeringen og FARC inngikk en fredsavtale i 2016. Vi har gruppert kommunene vi studerer i Cauca i de som var svært utsatt for FARC-relatert vold ved referansetidspunktet (eksponeringsgruppen) og de som var mindre utsatt (kontrollgruppen). Ved å bruke difference-in-differences finner vi at på kort sikt er matsikkerheten større i husholdninger i eksponerte kommuner enn i husholdningene i kontrollkommuner, idet inngåelse av fredsavtalen er assosiert med 51 prosent fall i andelen husholdninger som opplever sult. Effektene varierer innenfor husstanden ved at barn får større forbedringer i sin kostholdskvalitet og matmengde enn voksne. Vi finner også bevis som tyder på at forbedringene i matsikkerhet kan ha vedvart på mellomlang sikt, fem år etter fredsavtalen. Denne casestudien av Cauca fyller et viktig tomrom i litteraturen, da sammenhengenen mellom matsikkerhet og konflikt så langt ikke har blitt studert på lokalt nivå.
Abstract in English:Less Conflict, More Food Security: A Case Study of Cauca, ColombiaThis paper investigates the relationship between conflict and food security in Cauca, Colombia. We take advantage of a natural experiment generated by the 2014 ceasefire declared by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the largest rebel group in the country. The ceasefire resulted in a steep decline in FARC-related violence, which was further solidified when the Colombian government and FARC reached a peace agreement in 2016. We classify our study municipalities in Cauca into those highly exposed to FARC-related violence at baseline (treated) and those with low exposure (control). Using difference-in-differences, we find that in the short run, households in treated municipalities are more food secure than those in control municipalities: the treatment is associated with a 51% drop in the proportion of households experiencing hunger. The effects vary within members of the household, with children showing larger improvements in diet quality and quantity than adults. We also find suggestive evidence that the gains in food security seems to have persisted in the medium term, five years after the peace agreement. By conducting a case study of Cauca, this study fills an important gap in the literature, which has so far obscured local understandings of the food security–conflict nexus.

Authors: Fontes Ana Paula
Published: August 2023

Objective: To examine how the relationship between Mobility limitation is influenced by Contextual Factors in community-dwelling older adults.
Design: This is a cross-sectional study.
Participants: A total of 769 persons aged 65 years or above living in the community-dwelling of the Algarve region.
Methods: We study eighteen categories of Personal and Environmental Factors agreement of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) and their relationship with six categories of the Mobility domain. Multiple logistic regression was used in analyzing functional outcomes in the Mobility.
Main Results: The proportion of older adults reporting disability in Mobility activities ranged from 17.4% (Moving Around Within the Home) and 53.2% (Using Private or Public Motorized Transportation). The Contextual Factors with a greater impact in explaining the limitations in Mobility outcomes were Assistance Activities of Daily Living (OR = 3.0 to OR = 11.9), JobWithout Qualification (OR=2.5 toOR=6.3), Inadequate Nr of Meals (OR = 2.6 to OR = 3.8) and Self-Rated Physical Health (OR = 2.1 to OR = 3.1). The variable sex contributed to explaining the results of the most difficult activities to perform as Moving Around Outside the Home, Climbing and Use of Transports. The contribution of age was observed only in the Use of Transports.
Conclusions: Contextual Factors are important predictors of Mobility functioning, namely, those related to Behaviors and Health Events but also those related to Social and Cultural variables.

Keberadaan buku di sekolah dalam ruangan khusus yang disebut perpustakaan terkadang belum sepenuhnya memberikan manfaat bagi siswa. Seperti yang terjadi di MTs Islamiyah Waled Kab. Cirebon. Dari pengamatan yang Tim Pengabdian lakukan, perpustakaan di MTs Islamiyah Waled belum dikelola dengan baik. Hal ini berdasarkan beberapa indikator 1) tidak ada pustakawan, 2) penataan dan klasifikasi jenis buku tidak rapi, 3) banyak buku hibah pemerintah yang tidak terjamah dan dibiarkan menumpuk, 4) kebersihan buku dan ruangan kurang terawat, 5) tempat membaca tidak tersedia, dan 6) tidak ada sosialisasi dan motivasi tentang membaca kepada siswa. Dari beberapa permasalahan tersebut, Tim Pengabdian kemudian tergerak untuk mengelola sumber bacaan di MTs Islamiyah Waled melalui perpustakaan di luar kelas. Metode yang digunakan Tim Pengabdian adalah metode promosi, kunjungan langsung, atau pelayanan langsung di titik-titik berkumpul siswa seperti di pinggir lapangan, di depan ruang administrasi, dan di dekat tempat parkir. Sasaran kegiatan ini adalah seluruh siswa MTs Islamiyah Waled dari kelas VII sampai d. kelas IX. Tim Pengabdian melakukan kegiatan ini pada istirahat pertama yaitu pukul 09.30 s.d. 10.00 WIB. Awalnya siswa kurang merespon. Namun, setelah beberapa hari para siswa menjadi tertarik dan perpustakaan di luar kelas mulai ramai. Dalam kegiatan ini Tim Pengabdian juga melayani peminjaman buku. Tim Pengabdian menjajakan berbagai jenis buku antara lain buku-buku ilmu umum, agama, sastra, motivasi, dan lain-lain. Tim Pengabdian juga mengadakan tambahan buku yang dibeli dari toko buku bekas yang dikumpulkan dari dana kegiatan kesiswaan dan dari kas OSIS.

Bank Pembiayaan Rakyat Syariah (BPRS) menjadi salah satu pilihan penyedia jasa pembiayaan bagi Usaha Mikro dan Kecil (UMK) di Kabupaten Banyumas yang membutuhkan pembiayaan berbasis syariah namun tidak dapat mengakses jasa layanan keuangan di Bank Umum Syariah (BUS). BPRS perlu terus meningkatkan profesionalisme lembaga terutama dengan penguasaan dan pemahaman yang baik terhadap konsep keuangan syariah, karena fakta di lapangan menunjukan bahwa tidak seluruh pengurus dan pengelola BPRS memiliki latar belakang keilmuan ekonomi/perbankan syariah. Oleh sebab itu dalam rangka pelaksanaan Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, tim pengabdian dari program studi Perbankan Syariah UIN Prof. K.H. Zuhri mencanangkan program pengabdian yang berfokus pada optimalisasi manajer pendanaan dan pembiayaan terhadap akad muamalah pada BPRS di Kabupaten Banyumas. Pengabdian masyarakat untuk peningkatan literasi akad muamalah di BPRS Kabupaten Banyumas menggunakan metode perticipatory action research (PAR). Pendekatan PAR meruapakan pendekatan secara kualitatif dengan mengintegrasikan teknik mengamati, mendokumentasikan, menganalisa dan menafsirkan pola dari komunitas sasaran program. Hasil menunjukan bahwa 70% peserta pendampingan mengalami peningkatan pemahaman terhadap akad muamalah.

Diversified farming systems for changing climate and consumerism
Authors: Biradar C , Rizvi J , Dandin S
Published: August 2023

When we think about environmental degradation and climate change, the first things that come to our mind are cars and factories, but not how we grow, consume and dispose of. If we collectively put these things together, we account for nearly one-third of the human-induced climate change. That certainly put agriculture at the crossroads of system-level transformation towards healthy food, people, and the planet. Such food-system transformation requires a paradigm shift towards nature-friendly nutrition-rich diverse fruits and vegetables, and it should constitute at least 30-50% of our food plate from the current average of less than 10%. The only way left for us is to return to an ecological intensification with feedback loops that inter-links vital elements of complex agroecological transition within the planetary boundary limits. Farming in harmony with nature, carbon-neutral, enrich micro-hydrology and restore biodiversity to co-benefits the people and the planet. The context-specific regenerative agriculture practices that are ecologically sustainable and economically viable found to be best fit models for smallholder farmers and home gardeners. It is based on the sound ecological philosophy of production follows structure, composition and functions, and where ecosystem services and well being become default returns on their own. The recent advances in digital augmentation with ICTs enabled citizen science to provide powerful tools to aid the integration of frontier technology with indigenous knowledge. This leads to an ideal agro-ecosystem integrated with diverse crops, multi-purpose tree species, animals, and peoples in collective action to restore broken food systems and combat climate change
Giorgio Agamben: a analítica do método arqueológico paradigmático para o estudo das migrações
Authors: Cruz Maria Lucia Rodrigues da
Published: August 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo destacar a pertinência do método arqueológico-paradigmático de Agamben para os estudos no campo das migrações, pois este pode oferecer a possibilidade de uma análise filosófica quanto às migrações contemporâneas. Deste modo, o método de Agamben torna-se um instrumento de reflexão teórica que viabiliza o entendimento das migrações contemporâneas como uma espécie de paradigma da política Ocidental. A pesquisa bibliográfica desenvolvida, se deu a partir da obra “Signatura Rerum: sobre o método” na qual Agamben se dedica a explicitar seu método de investigação. Foram também exploradas obras complementares de pensadores com quem o filósofo italiano dialoga, no intuito de esclarecer o seu método arqueológico-paradigmático. As principais obras de Agamben oferecem para a reflexão termos como secularização, Homo sacer, vida nua e estado de exceção, estes demarcam situações em torno das quais o filósofo tenta explicar a política contemporânea; como uma “máquina do tempo” permitem analisar os acontecimentos a partir de seu surgimento propiciando um indicativo de que a política do presente carrega em si uma assinatura da política do passado. A hipótese que se pretendia analisar é que método arqueológico -paradigmático de Agamben pode ser considerado um instrumento que permite analisar e compreender a inserção da vida na política contemporânea do indivíduo migrante. Resta comprovado que Agamben e seu método dão conta da reflexão-crítica e reconhecem a vida de migrantes contemporâneos como vida nua sob governos em estado de exceção.
