Between Conservatism and Progressivism: The Young Penghulu in East Java's Legal Paradigm Addresses Disability Issues in Marriage
Authors: Nur Hadi Mukhammad , Ali Sabri Fahruddin , Masum Ahmad
Published: December 2023

The legal knowledge of penghulu on disability issues determines how to implement laws that advocate for persons with disabilities. This paper traces the legal paradigm of seven Penghulus in East Java who were newly inducted in 2022 against several articles in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) that touch on disability issues. Some of the themes tracked are marriage guardians (article 22), marriage witnesses (article 25), and polygamy (article 57). It is an empirical study using conceptual and philosophical approaches. This article finds that most young East Javanese penghulu still need an advocate interpretation paradigm because they read the articles authentically and grammatically, not sociologically or teleologically. The benefit (maslahah) aspect of these articles is also considered to look more authentic. Therefore, the argument of advocates for the rights of persons with a human rights perspective is not widely involved. As a result, persons with disabilities who are guardians of marriage, witnesses of marriage, and wives can become victims of neglect of fundamental civil rights in marriage. It is where the conservative paradigm of the young penghulu comes into being strong and dominant. The existence of the progressive paradigm is also buried and framed in the current conservative paradigm. This finding is certainly an important note about how the government indirectly shapes the contestation of conservative and progressive paradigms in family law.

The increase in the production of root crops of chicory, which is a valuable technical crop, is restrained by the low level of mechanization of the main technological processes of their collection. The increased content of vegetable impurities or the remains of ghee in the collected root crops of chicory significantly reduces the quality of the raw material and, accordingly, the output of its processing products. On the basis of the analysis of the technological process of cutting root vegetables with L-shaped knives of a rotary vegetable cutter, a mathematical model was developed that functionally describes the movement of the cut vegetable in the guide channel of the vegetable cutting machine depending on the structural and kinematic parameters of the working organs of the cutting apparatus. On the basis of the solution of the mathematical model, the equation of the profile of the surface of the casing of the guide channel was obtained from the conditions of equal post-shock velocities and equal speeds of movement of the cut-off beam. It was established that the most acceptable is the profile in which the angle of collision, or the angle between the direction of the pre-impact velocity vector and the tangent to the profile of the guide channel at the point of impact is equal to 25 degrees, while the height of the profile of the guide channel is 1.2 m. For the value of the angle between in the direction of the pre-impact velocity vector and tangential to the profile of the guide channel at the point of impact 30...35 degrees. the initial speed of movement of the cut particle of the string is in the range of 9.5...10.5 m/s, and at the exit from the outlet throat – 2.5...3.5 m/s, while the time of moving the string along the guide channel is 0.15 ...0.2 s.

This article is a continuation of research on the use of methods to improve the repair of vehicle body parts after the examination of road accidents. Body parts are among the main and most complex and labor-intensive structural elements of a vehicle (land, air, sea). In addition, body parts are the basis of the vehicle structure, which combines all its parts into a single whole in terms of power. The service life of the body as a whole largely determines the operational durability of land transport in general. The service life of body parts, which are usually made from sheet metal by stamping, is affected by corrosion, operational damage and traffic accidents. The reserve for increasing the durability of body parts, including sheet metal parts (springs, wheel rims, etc.), is a set of technological means and a rational choice of technological parameters of the process of their manufacture by sheet stamping. Road accidents are a serious test for body components. In such situations, it is necessary to take into account not only the appearance of the parts but also their internal structure. Modern testing technologies and diagnostic methods allow us to detect potentially dangerous damage in time.Optimization of the technological parameters of the sheet forming process is a key factor in increasing the durability of housing elements. Taking into account high loads during design and manufacturing allows us to create parts that can withstand the pressure of various operating conditions.This integrated approach to solving the problems of improving the repair of body parts guarantees an increase in the service life of vehicles and ensures their reliability and safety on the road.

The paper presents the results of the research of the mathematical model of the stability of the traffic flow on the sections of the city's street and road network when external factors change. Based on the modeling results, it is proposed to divide all factors affecting the stability of the traffic flow into three groups. The first group of factors characterizes the construction of the vehicle: the length of the vehicle, the weight of the vehicle, the power of the engine. The second group of factors is called time factors, which take into account: the driver's reaction time to a change in the road situation; time for a maneuver that can be used by the car in case of a change in the road situation; the total time of delays while driving along the route. The third group of factors takes into account the peculiarities of the construction of the infrastructure of the road environment. Such factors include: the number of traffic lanes on the roadway; the number of pedestrian crossings and traffic lights. Based on the results of modeling, a rating of factors affecting the amount of traffic flow stability margin is presented. The simulation results proved that, in the first place, the impact on the loss of stability of the traffic flow is the time for the maneuver that the car can use in the event of a change in the road situation and the number of pedestrian crossings and traffic lights on the controlled section of the road. When the listed factors change, the robustness criterion has minimal values. In second place in terms of influence on is a group of factors that take into account the driver's reaction time to a change in the road situation and the number of traffic lanes on the roadway. In third place is a group of factors that take into account the length of the car and the weight of the car. It is proved that the mathematical model of traffic flow stability has limitations regarding its application. The limitations are related to the definition of the initial data for the simulation. It is necessary to determine the flow density on the controlled section of the road network. In addition, statistically determined values are the reaction time of drivers to a change in the road situation and the presence of pedestrian crossings and traffic lights on the controlled section of the road.

The analysis and empirical studies of conditional and unconditional parameters of the traffic model at an unregulated intersection with circular traffic in the city of Ternopil were conducted. The intersection "Zbarazke ring" in the city of Ternopil is an unregulated intersection with a circular traffic pattern and is located at the intersection of Stepan Bandera avenue, April 15 street, T. Protasevich street and Pidvolochyskyi highway. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed solutions, simulation models of the intersection "Zbarazke ring" with the existing and proposed traffic management system were created. The conducted traffic modeling using multi-parameter models made it possible to take into account various options for road infrastructure, restrictions and traffic parameters, which made it possible to justify optimal decisions regarding the improvement of the organization of traffic at the object of study. Five variants of traffic organization at the intersection with circular traffic are proposed, the best of them is modeled, analyzed and substantiated, and ways to improve the quality of functioning of this section of the street-road network are proposed. According to the results of the simulation modeling of the intersection "Zbarazke ring", the implementation of the proposed measures will lead to the following improvements compared to the existing traffic conditions at the intersection: the average speed of vehicles will increase by 30%; the average delay time will decrease by 28%; the average number of road transport stops will decrease by 21%; the average time spent in traffic jams will decrease by 50%.

Atriplex nitens Schkuhr (ANS), which grows naturally in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, is highly resistant to drought and salty environments and is used as food and animal feed. This study first performed phytochemical analysis and antioxidant and urease inhibition activities on the obtained methanol crude extract of ANS. The catechin and isoquercitrin were detected as the main compounds according to LC-MS/MS results. Oleic acid methyl ester (31.71%), palmitic acid methyl ester (25.87%), linoleic acid methyl ester (19.61%), and nonacosane (16.81%) were detected in GC-MS/MS analysis of extract. Posphomolybdenum reducing, DPPH˙ scavenging, and urease inhibition activities were found effective at 67.27±23.83, 7.85±0.44 and 6.58±0.48 µg/mL, respectively, of ANS extract. In this investigation, the biological activity and chemical composition of the ANS extract were initially examined. Molecular docking and ADMET prediction were performed on this plant's two most abundant components. It was found that the interaction with urease of isoquercitrin (MolDock score-121.42, binding affinity -8.60, and binding constant 0.62 µM) with urease determined a higher than. These two components have a negligible potential for toxicity. The Boiled Egg plot indicates a significant GIa for catechin. However, isoquercitrin does not exhibit BBB or GLa permeability. It was determined that the main component isoquercitrine may be effective against gastric diseases, and it was supported that it was not observed in the BBB and GLa systems.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE PLANNING PROCESS OF CITIES FOR THE RATIONAL USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS, URBANISATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
Authors: YİNANÇ Abdullah , SÖNMEZ Kamil
Published: December 2023

In addition to the environmental problems caused by urbanisation, drought, irregularity in precipitation regime, floods, landslides, storms and fires are experienced in the world due to global warming and climate change. This situation is also valid for our country. These events negatively affect the lives of all living things. Necessary arrangements are being made by the relevant authorities for the solution of the problems caused by urbanisation and global climate crisis, and central and local administrations assume duties in accordance with the updated legislation.  This process brings new approaches and administrative structures to the agenda for the planning of settlements, especially cities, in order to utilise natural resources effectively and efficiently. In the urban planning process, it is thought that there is a need for a comprehensive, visionary approach with physical, social, economic and cultural content regarding the use of natural resources in the context of urbanisation and environmental problems.
In this article, the processes of re-planning urban areas are examined by reviewing the literature on global warming, climate change and environmental problems caused by urbanisation. In order to solve these problems, it is thought that a new administrative structure is needed in order to formulate urbanisation policies and in the process of planning and construction of cities. With this study, it is aimed to evaluate the issue within the framework of an approach based on the protection of water, air and soil components, which are the basic input of planning in the urbanisation process and are of vital importance, and to propose solutions for urbanisation and environmental problems.

The population of the study included 5503 research associates employed in public universities in Aegean region, Turkey, in 2019-2020 academic years. In this research, all research associates in the population were reached, without conducting a sampling study, and 427 research associates responded to the participation calls. The data, collected through the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Organizational Cynicism Scale, were analyzed in SPSS 24.0 software. The study results showed that the highest average score in research associates’ burnout levels was on the individual achievement dimension. The emotional burnout dimension followed, and the lowest average score was on the depersonalization dimension. The highest average score in research associates’ perceptions of organizational cynicism was on the cognitive dimension and their lowest average score was on the affective dimension. There was no significant difference between the burnout and the organizational cynicism levels based on gender variable. Males and females were found to have similar perception levels. There were significant differences between the levels of professional satisfaction and burnout and organizational cynicism. Medium-level positive and significant relationships were found between the burnout and the organizational cynicism concepts and their sub-dimensions. Based on those results, some recommendations such as clarified and refined job descriptions, shorter working time, increasing reward sources, providing adaptation training and in-service training, and including other academic staff in the research, were added.

The study of tafsir tartib nuzuli is still quite rare. This study seeks to complete the study. Tafsir tartib nuzuli is still considered “strange” by the majority of Muslims. This study is library research using a descriptive-analysis method. There are at least four mufasirs (interpreters) who use the tafsir method of tartib nuzuli, namely Bayan al-Ma'ani by Abdul Qadir Huwaisy (Iraq: 1880-1978), Al-Tafsir al-Hadith by Muhammad Darwazah (Syria: 1887-1984), Ma'arij al-Tafakkur by Abdurrahman al-Maidani (Syria: 1927-2004), and Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim by Muhammad al-Jabiri (Morocco: 1935-2010). Of the four books of nuzuli interpretation, this paper will focus on two books, namely Al-Tafsir al-Hadith and Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim. The tafsir method of nuzuli has its own characteristics and contributions compared to other methods of interpretation. Tafsir tartib nuzuli can be an alternative method in portraying the Prophet’s da’wah journey / Islamic transformation from the time of Muhammad's prophethood until his death. Tartib nuzuli interpretation is more related to the chronology of the Prophetic Sirah Nabawiyah (Prophetic Journey) as narrated in the books of Sirah.

Studi tentang tafsir tartib nuzuli masih cukup jarang dilakukan. Kajian ini berusaha untuk melengkapi studi tersebut. Tafsir tartib nuzuli dianggap masih ”asing” oleh mayoritas umat Islam. Kajian ini bersifat kepustakaan (library research) dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analisis. Setidaknya ada empat mufasir yang menggunakan metode tafsir tartib nuzuli yaitu Bayan al-Ma’ani karya Abdul Qadir Huwaisy (Irak: 1880-1978), Al-Tafsir al-Hadits karya Muhammad Darwazah (Suriah: 1887-1984), Ma’arij al-Tafakkur karya Abdurrahman al-Maidani (Suriah: 1927-2004), dan Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim karya Muhammad al-Jabiri (Maroko: 1935-2010). Dari empat kitab tafsir nuzuli tersebut, tulisan ini akan fokus pada dua kitab, yaitu Al-Tafsir al-Hadits dan Fahm al-Qur`an al-Hakim. Metode tafsir nuzuli memiliki ciri khas dan kontribusi tersendiri dibanding metode tafsir lain. Tafsir tartib nuzuli dapat menjadi metode alternatif dalam memotret perjalanan dakwah Nabi/formasi Islam sejak masa kenabian Muhammad sampai wafatnya. Tafsir tartib nuzuli lebih sinkron dengan kronologi Sirah Nabawiyah sebagaimana dinarasikan dalam kitab-kitab sirah.

Authors: Genç Zeynep
Published: December 2023

Günümüzde internet platformları, müşterilerin ürün veya hizmeti satın almaya karar vermelerinde önemli bir başvuru kaynağıdır. Bu sebeple çalışmanın temel amaçlarından bir tanesi gerek lokasyon gerekse otel çeşitliliği açısından turizmde popüler bir destinasyon olan Sapanca bölgesinde var olan beş yıldızlı otellere yönelik yapılan müşteri yorumlarını inceleyerek müşterilerin odaklandığı başlıca konuları tespit etmektir. Covid 19 Pandemisi ile birlikte “temizlik” ve “hijyen” kavramları çoğu sektörde olduğu gibi otel müşterileri için de önem arz eden ve daha detaylı gözlemlenen bir konu haline gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın bir diğer amacı ise pandemi ile birlikte öne çıkan temizlik kavramının 2023 yılına gelindiğinde otel müşterileri yorumlarında ne sıklıkla geçtiğinin ortaya konulmasıdır. Sapanca bölgesindeki beş yıldızlı beş otel, çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Müşteri yorumları tripadvisor.com.tr online internet sitesinden alınmış olup, içerik analizi yöntemi ile değerlendirmeler yapılmış ve analizlerde MAXQDA 2022 programı kullanılmıştır. Çalışma bulgularına göre müşteri yorumlarının odaklandığı temel kavramlar sırasıyla otellerdeki yemekler, temizlik konusu, odalarla ilgili konular ve otel personelidir. Müşterilerin temizlik konusunda en hassas oldukları nokta ise kaldıkları otellerdeki odaların temizliğidir. Çalışma bulgularının otel işletmeleri için müşteri perspektifinden nasıl değerlendirildiklerini daha net görme fırsatı yaratabileceği ve otellerin belirtilen konuları önceliklendirerek müşteri memnuniyetlerine olumlu yönde katkı sağlayabilecekleri düşünülmektedir.
Inteligência Emocional em Enfermeiros – a visão do psicólogo
Authors: Cunha Maria Nascimento , Pinto Sílvia
Published: January 2024

O enquadramento relativo à inteligência emocional e às respetivas competências tem evoluído ao longo do tempo. Na realidade esta evolução chega muito no sentido de simplificar, como o atestam os vários estudos recentemente efetuados sobre o cérebro e as emoções, que esclarecem, em muito, a base neurológica das competências (Silva, 2010). No decorrer dos últimos anos, é notório o interesse e a procura de uma definição de Inteligência Emocional (IE). Importa ressaltar que cada conceito emerge da abordagem teórica que a sustenta, cujas origens remontam à psicologia social e à inteligência pessoal (Costa, 2009). Podemos, no entanto, encontrar as raízes do construto da IE no conceito de “inteligência social”, identificado por Thorndike (1920), citado em Rego & Fernandes, 2005), baseado na capacidade de compreender e gerir, agindo sabiamente as relações humanas. Mayer, Salovey & Caruso (2000), citado em Ângelo, (2007), agrupam os modelos para a inteligência emocional em dois grandes grupos: os de aptidões, na linha de Mayer e Salovey, que se focam nas aptidões mentais, nas emoções e na sua interação com a inteligência, e os modelos mistos, na linha de Bar-On e na linha de Goleman, que consideram as aptidões mentais e uma variedade de outras características como a motivação, a atividade social e determinadas qualidades pessoais (autoestima, felicidade, empatia, entre outras) como uma entidade única. Este estudo procura identificar o modo como a Inteligência Emocional se relaciona com o sucesso profissional nos profissionais de enfermagem.

Several companies are currently investigating in development for the production of Biobutanol. This research was concerned with Biobutanol production from ABE (Acetone, Butanol, and Ethanol) fermentation of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate by Clostridium Perfringens. The sample was hydrolyzed with concentrated H2SO4 solution for 1 hour at 121oC. Response surface designed by optimizing the fermentation parameters (Time, Temperature, and pH) by the used media (C. Perfringens) showed the highest Biobutanol yield at temperature (350C), Time 48 (Hhs), and pH 6.0 with 163 cm3 which is exactly around 0.543(g/L) by converted to a gram per liter as mostly represented by many researchers. The produced Biobutanol from the sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate was characterized using FT-IR and GC-MS analysis. Conclusively this work revealed the importance of sugarcane bagasse as a good potential feedstock of Biobutanol.
