Authors: Saddi Faezahnor , Dawam Zairul Anwar , Hisham Fazmi
Published: March 2022

The musical film genre is the sole film genre predominantly guided by the songs sung by the characters to understand the narrative plot. Each of the songs has its own function to develop the narrative plot so that the audience can easily understand the underlying message. The songs produced require a high level of creativity by the director and composer, who would need to research and detail each song composition on the appropriate plot queue. Therefore, the researcher has selected 2 songs from the musical film Magika (2010) as case study analysis to examine and understand how the characteristics and functions of songs in shaping the plot structure are produced. The film ‘Magika’ was selected based on its achievements of being the only musical film to have won the “Best Film” and “Best Original Music” award at the 23rd Malaysian Film Festival. The research method was conducted through staged interviews by interviewing several film directors and composers, notes, and observations of Magika’s (2010) film work. Subsequently, the study was analysed using the ‘Conceptual Integration Networks’ theory in studying lyrical meaning then focusing on beat elements in plot structure introduced by Syd Field (2005) and Blake Snyder (2005) to both selected songs. As a result of this study, the researcher found that the specially created song in the musical film Magika (2010) is a communication bridge between the characters who sing the songs which is built through the song elements and plot structure.

Published: March 2022

Mushrooms are soft textured and prone to deteriorate shortly after harvest if not properly stored. In view of their short shelf life under normal ambient conditions of temperature and humidity, it is imperative to preserve it by processing to extend shelf life for off season use. Drying is one of the common methods used for mushrooms for preservation owing to its easiness and economical nature. Irradiation is known to be a safe technology for treating food products using ionizing radiation. Gamma ray ionizing radiation is used to extend the shelf-life of food products and results in the inactivation of foodborne pathogens. This paper showed the ability of gamma irradiation for decontamination of powdered dried mushrooms (Pleurotus pulmonarius and Volvariella volvacea) and reliable process for edible mushrooms storage in commercial industries. The mushrooms were dried at temperature of 45-55ºC, powdered and given gamma irradiation at 0 (control), 2, 5 and 10 kGy. Results showed that irradiation at 2 kGy had the ability to reduce the microbial loads (bacterial and fungal colonies) in powdered dried mushrooms and there was no presence of microbes after irradiated at 5 and 10kGy. Nevertheless, after storage 9 months, the microbial loads increased in the control samples but maintained low in samples (Pleurotus pulmonarius and Volvariella volvacea) irradiated at 5kGy (1.4x102, 1.5x101 cfu/g) and 10kGy (4x101, 5x101 cfu/g). There were no significant changes in colour of all samples during storage. Although there were some changes observed for proximate compositions due to the gamma irradiation, the results obtained were no significant differences (P<0.05) and showed that the integrity of these compositions in the mushrooms were minimally affected as no adverse effects were observed. Irradiation at dose 5 and 10kGy are suitable in maintaining the quality of the powdered dried samples and also extended the storage period.

Implementasi Khitbah Berbasis Takzim pada Pesantren Salafiyah Syafiiyah Asyhariyah Curahlele Balung Jember
Authors: Wafa Muhammad Ali
Published: March 2022

The pre-wedding process such as the true sermon should not escape the seriousness of the bride and groom. One form of seriousness is to ask for advice and even the involvement of local religious leaders, as was done by students at the Salafiyah Syafiiyah Islamic Boarding School Asyhariyah Curahlele, Balung, Jember. The reason for the students is not only looking for blessings, but also a form of reverence for Kiai. The uniqueness of the khitbah system based on reverence for the Kiai at the Islamic Boarding School needs to be studied based on Islamic law to get the essence of the concept, so that it is clear then the law of its implementation. By using field research, it was found that the khitbah system at the Salafiyah Syafiiyah Islamic Boarding School Asyhariyah Curahlele, Balung, Jember is a form of voluntary reverence. Based on the caregivers and alumni of the Pondok, it was found that the Kiai's role was passive in carrying out the sermon at the Salafiyah Syafiiyah Asyhariyah Islamic Boarding School. That is, the kiai places himself as an intermediary between the preacher and those who will be preached and does not intervene and even force his students to accept their opinion. Based on this explanation, the practice of khitbah with the intermediary of a Kiai does not violate Islamic law. Islam itself stipulates that it is permissible for sermons to be carried out using intermediaries, so that the Kiai's involvement in this matter is legal according to Islamic law, because the Kiai is the intermediary. The reason for the santri receiving the khitbah for reasons of reverence for the Kiai is that it is permissible, because what is a valid requirement is the approval of the candidate and the candidate's family, related reasons have never been included in Islam.

TILTED FIBER BRAGG GRATING SENSORS FOR REFRACTIVE INDEX MEASUREMENTS OF LIQUID SOLUTIONS
Authors: Harasim Damian
Published: March 2022

This publication presents the basic assumptions about the light guiding mechanisms in tilted fiber Bragg gratings, transmission spectra of the fiber with such structures and their sensor properties related to the occurrence of the so-called cladding modes. The light in the form of modes coupled to the optical fiber cladding causes their spectral properties to depend on the difference in the refractive indices of the surrounding medium and the fiber cladding. With the introduction of a small inclination angle of the diffraction fringes forming the Bragg grating, the cladding modes show sensitivity to changes in the refractive index of the environment of aqueous solutions, which makes the spectrum of their applications broad. This publication presents changes in the spectra of selected modes measured for solutions with a specific refractive index, shift sensitivity, and changes in the mode transmission coefficient and processing characteristics at a selected concentration range of solutions. Experimental results show that high order cladding modes respond both by shifting the central wavelength as well as by changing the transmission minimum. In selected ranges, these parameters show a linear characteristic as a function of changes in the concentration of the cane sugar aqueous solution. In the case of TFBG with a tilt angle of 8 °, the sensitivity of wavelength changes is 0.012nm / RIU for solutions with concentrations ranging from 0% to 10% by weight.

Background: Raphanus sativus is a cruciferous plant which possess free radical scavenging properties that defend the body against the deleterious effects of reactive oxygen species. To evaluate the protective role of Raphanus sativus in CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity through assessment of liver function and oxidative stress markers in albino Wistar rats.

Material and Methods: Quasi-experimental study was conducted from September 2019 to March 2020 at the Postgraduate Research Laboratory, Isra University, Hyderabad. Non-random purposive sampling was used for selecting Albino Wistar rats. All rats were then divided equally into three different groups: Group A (control group), Group B (CCl4 experimental group), and Group C (CCl4 plus Raphanus sativus group). Blood samples were collected through cardiac puncture followed by hepatic histopathological analysis using light microscope. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24, with ANOVA and Post hoc Tukey analysis used for comparison of different study variables.

Results: Statistically significant rise relative liver weight of group B rats compared with the group A and C rats (P <.05). Moreover, statistically significant (P <0.05) rise in serum markers of hepatic functions was observed after CCl4 administration in Group B. Treatment with Raphanus Sativus administration significantly reduced serum levels of LFTs (p<0.05). There was a significant decline in the plasma levels of oxidative markers in group B while marked histopathological changes like necrosis, sinusoidal dilatation and congestion observed among animals of group B.

Conclusion: Raphanus Sativus exerts an anti-oxidative, anti- and hepatoprotective effect against CCl4-induced hepatic tissue damage.

Published: March 2022

Nanodiamond was used to directly precipitate graphene at the interface between Ni catalyst and Si substrate. Consequently, multilayer graphene was successfully precipitated without using a capping layer. The critical temperature for the precipitation was found to be as low as 370 °C, more than 100 °C lower than for of the conventional amorphous carbon case. The annealing temperature of 900 °C offers high-quality graphene with a low D/G ratio of 0.06. The nanodiamond contributes to the increased carbon concentration in the catalyst, leading to both graphene nucleation at the interface and a very low critical temperature.

Published: March 2022

This study analyzes and finds out the consumptive behavior of the community in using online shopping through the pay later system law in the perspective of Islamic economics in Indonesian society. This research was conducted through a quantitative survey method with the data analysis process analyzing respondents' answers to the distributed survey because this method reveals factual data based on the experiences of the respondents. This research was conducted quantitatively by conducting surveys and research data presented in the form of graphic images and accompanied by descriptions. The data analysis process is carried out by analyzing respondents' answers to the distributed survey because the method applied by the researcher will reveal data based on the reality of information according to the disclosure of respondents according to the circumstances experienced. The results of the study state that the law of the pay later system in an Islamic economic perspective depends on its use, whether it contains harm or not. The pay later system can be said to be haram if it contains things that are prohibited by Allah SWT, such as usury, gharar, and other harmful things. However, if the pay later system provides benefits, is relevant to the Islamic economy, and does not contain elements of harm such as usury, then the law is allowed.
The Logical Pragmatics of Arguments in Argumentation
Authors: Hammoodi Al-Jwaid Waleed Ridha , Tindale Christopher W.
Published: March 2022

Logic is understood so far as a product perspective, either formal or informal. The topic is still, though interesting, imprecise, sketchy and problematic. Besides, the relevance of logic to linguistics has not been explained. This research focuses on dealing with logic as a product and a process. It introduces how logic is relevant to understanding language. Logic is surely not irrelevant to real human language. In this research, we coin 'logical pragmatics' to refer to "the structure of an argumentation and its parts used by the speaker for the purpose of persuasion to have an effect in the addressee and passive audience”. As such, the research mainly aims at providing a definition of "logical pragmatics" as well as developing an ideal model for it. To accomplish this aim, the research studies what this approach entails and the relevance of logic and pragmatically oriented contributions to the field of argument and argumentation. The study mainly concluded that in real communication, simple logical relations become very complex and part of a wider context where we have a speaker's communicative intention, a hearer's communicative inference, and context.

Published: March 2022

The aim of the research is to reveal the reality of teacher performance evaluation in the Sultanate of Oman in light of some global models. The study followed a qualitative descriptive research design. Seven forms of teacher formative and summative assessments were analyzed. Besides, an analytical template was developed, consisting of six areas related to the teaching performance of teachers. These included: lesson planning and preparation, learning environment, education, professional development, student academic, and community and parental partnership. The study reached a number of results; the most notable is the lack of change of forms for more than a decade despite the rapid development of the educational system in the sultanate in areas close to the teacher. It has also found that the formative evaluation focuses only on his/her rile in the classroom, such as lesson planning, preparation and learning environment. Further, it does not focus on his/her role outside the classroom, such as professional development, and community and parental partnership. Additionally, this evaluation is not based on any professional standards. Therefore, its tools, standards, and assessment need to be improved. The study has also shown that the final evaluation needs do not have sufficient standards. Additionally, both types of assessments do not relate to each other. Based on these results, the study has recommended to improve teacher performance evaluation in the Sultanate of Oman.

تعالج هذه الدراسة أصول تكييف التصرفات الناشئة عن رد الفعل في الشريعة الإسلامية، وقد بينت الدراسة مدى اعتبار الفقهاء للتصرفات إذا كان منشؤها رد الفعل وكيف أنهم يثبتون آثاره للمصلحة تارة ويهملونها للمفسدة تارة، ويوازنون بين اعتبار المهمات، واعتبار المهم والأهم. وقد اتخذت الدراسة منهجاً استقرائيا وتحليليًّا، وتوصلت إلى نتائج مهمة، ومنها: أن رد الفعل إذا كان من أعمال الجبلة لم يتعلق بها تكليف؛ وإنما يتعلق التكليف بالتصرفات الزائدة عن اقتضاء أصل الجبلة والفطرة، وذلك أن المكلفين لا يحاسبون على جبلاتهم التي فطروا عليها، وإنما كلفوا تهذيب أعمالهم وتوجيه سلوكهم، فمن كان مقصراً في ذلك جوزي عن تقصيره، ومن كان محسناً جوزي عن إحسانه. ولذلك تتعلق برد الفعل أحكام باعتبار الباعث والمآل، وباعتبار الأعمال الظاهرة والقصود والنيات.

Background

Reduction of major cardiovascular events (MACE) in ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (STE-ACS) patients has been achieved by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy and intensive care management. However, the intensive care unit bed availability and cost remain a problem for those patients, and thus risk stratification using an objective risk score instrument is required.

Aim

To develop a risk score of in-hospital MACE for patients with STE-ACS underwent primary PCI.

Methods

A cohort study of 208 patients with STE-ACS undergoing primary PCI at the Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang. Predictor analysis was carried out using bivariate Chi-Square test and multivariate logistic regression. The obtained independent predictors were then used as risk score variables. The quality of the risk score was tested by the Hosmer and Lemeshow calibration test and AUC ROC analysis for discrimination test.

Results

Seven out of 13 independent predictors, i.e. Killip class (OR 20,04, p=0,0001), age (OR 3,02, p=0,04), renal insufficiency (OR 9,48, p=0,007), infark related artery final TIMI flow (OR 11,57, p=0,001), admission systolic blood pressure (OR 3,04, p=0,025), duration of total ischaemic time (OR 3,14,p=0,032) and increase of blood glucose levels (OR 3,04, p=0,029)  were fulfilled the criteria for risk scores of in-hospital MACE. The risk scores had a good quality with the Hosmer and Lemeshow calibration test> 0,05 and ROC AUC 0,886 (95% CI, 0,827-0,944, p <0,005).

Conclusions

A risk scoring modele consisting of 7 independent predictor variables i.e. Killip class, age, renal insufficiency, infark related artery final TIMI flow, admission systolic blood pressure, duration of total ischaemic time, and increase of blood glucose levels (KARIADI) has a good calibration and discrimination in predicting the risk of in-hospital MACE in patients with STE-ACS underwent primary PCI.

Amyand's Hernia Dengan Curiga Akut Appendicitis : Laporan Kasus Yang Jarang
Authors: Fardhani Rizky Aditya , Wardani Avriana Pety
Published: March 2022

Pendahuluan: Amyand hernia merupakan salah satu kasus yang langka didunia. Angka kejadiannya berkisar antara 0,19-1,7% dari seluruh kejadian hernia. Amyand hernia yang dapat didefinisikan sebagai kondisi kantung hernia inguinalis lateralis yang berisi appendiks. Amyand hernia merupakan suatu kondisi yang membutuhkan penanganan segera karena dapat menimbulkan komplikasi peritonitis hingga sepsis. Tantangan yang dihadapi pada kasus ini adalah menegakkan diagnosis sesegera mungkin dan dilakukan tindakan pembedahan. Kontroversi yang dihadapi adalah metode tindakan pembedahan yang akan dilakukan.

Tujuan : Mengetahui penanganan Amyand hernia secara komprehensif berdasarkan literatu-literatur yang ada.

Laporan Kasus: Seoarang anak 2 tahun yang dirujukan dari RS Ken Saras dengan keluhan benjolan pada scrotum kanan. Benjolan tidak dapat masuk kembali disertai dengan nyeri sekitar perut kanan bawah. Pada pemeriksaan fisik tampak scrotum yang membesar dan memerah.

Diskusi: Amyand hernia merupakan jenis hernia inguinalis indirect yang sangat langka dengan sebagian besar kasus terjadi pada anak-anak. Ciri khas penyakit ini ditemukan benjolan pada lipat paha ataupun kantung scrotum yang disertai gejala appendicitis. Amyand Hernia pada kasus ini termasuk dalam Kriteria Lossanof dan Basson Type II yang penangannya seharusnya dilakukan repair hernia dan appendectomy. Shaknovsky et al menyebutkan, appendectomy pada amyand hernia dapat merugikan dan resiko terjadinya rekurensi hernia. Pada pasien ini tidak dilakukan appendectomy karena kondisi appendiks yang diyakini masih baik dan menghindari komplikasi post operasi. Namun mengingat komplikasi lain yang juga mungkin muncul di kemudian hari sehingga butuh evaluasi secara rutin angka kekambuhan terhadap pasien.

Kesimpulan: Tindakan appendectomy pada hernia ingunalis sisi kanan akan lebih menguntungkan dari pada tidak dilakukan appendectomy.

Titanium tends to form nitrides and carbides. The plasma nitrocarburizing technique can generate these nitride and carbide compounds on the material's surface. The objective of this research is to use a plasma nitrocarburizing process to increase the hardness and corrosion resistance of commercially pure titanium. The generation of a thin layer with an average thickness of 1.88 μm was discovered using a Scanning Electron Microscope. The X-Ray Diffraction technique identifies this thin layer made of TiN and TiC compounds. The untreated commercially pure titanium hardness was 105.75 VHN, and the plasma nitrocarburized commercially pure titanium hardness was 312.68 VHN, according to the Vickers micro tester. After plasma nitrocarburizing, the corrosion rate of untreated commercially pure titanium decreased from 0.0061 mmpy to 0.00077 mmpy. The plasma nitrocarburizing process resulted in a 196 percent increase in hardness and an 87 percent reduction in corrosion rate.
No More Quid Pro Quo: Abandoning the Personal Benefit Requirement in Insider Trading Law
Authors: Seiferth Shannon
Published: March 2022

A circuit split between the Second Circuit’s 2014 decision, United States v. Newman, and the Ninth Circuit’s 2015 decision, United States v. Salman, illustrates problems in insider trading law dating back over thirty years to the Supreme Court’s decision in Dirks v. SEC. Dirks held that when a corporate insider provides information to an outside party who then trades on the information, it must be shown that the insider received some form of a personal benefit for providing the information in order to impute liability. The courts in Newman and Salman disagreed on the sort of evidence that suffices to prove such a personal benefit. As this question is set to be decided by the Supreme Court, these cases provide an apt opportunity for reexamining the law of insider trading. Although it might be argued that, for both moral and efficiency reasons, the courts in Newman and Salman reached the right outcome, the analysis in both decisions was strained as a result of the personal benefit requirement first articulated in Dirks. As this Note discusses, this split demonstrates that proof of a personal benefit as an element of insider trading in tipper/tippee cases should not be required, as it creates unnecessarily subjective inquiries into the relationship between the tipper and tippee, resulting in confusion in the boundaries of permissible trading activity. Because insider trading walks a fine line between behavior that should be encouraged (the use of information for legitimate business purposes) and discouraged (exploiting information obtained by virtue of an inside position for personal gain), it is important to more clearly define the bounds of insider trading activity. In place of requiring proof of a personal benefit, this Note argues that a wholly new statutory approach to insider trading is warranted and offers an alternative statutory proposal that may serve as a starting point for a discussion of adopting legislation.
Public Pensions and Fiduciary Law: A View From Equity
Authors: Anenson T.
Published: March 2022

Controversies involving fund management may be the next frontier of public pension litigation. Recent scandals involving fraud, bribery, and corruption of public pension officials and other third parties have drawn the public eye toward the management of retirement assets. Individual and entity custodians, including pension boards of trustees, are charged with making investment and other decisions relating to pension funds. Unlike private pensions, there is no federal oversight of asset managers or others in control of retirement funds. Yet these funds hold more than three trillion dollars in assets. Until now, the guardians of these monies have operated almost invisibly in the background of the public pension crisis. This Article advances the retirement reform debate by looking more closely at the fiduciary relationship that exists between trustees and beneficiaries involving public sector employee pension funds. It offers a singular view from historic equity. The Article aims to see how equity in the medieval world relates to the modern pension problem. From that viewpoint, it evaluates what the fiduciary relation means, or should mean, in the changing legal environment of public retirement systems. The main objective is to raise issues involving fiduciary law and public pensions that have been undervalued or ignored. Based upon fiduciary law’s ancestry in equity, the Article offers guidance in assigning and defining obligations and associated remedies in the government pension situation. It contemplates the equitable dimension of the public pension problem, analyzes circumstances where fiduciary violations may arise, and suggests possible outcomes. It also comments on deficiencies in current law. Overall, the Article provides a deeper perspective of the fiduciary principle and corresponding doctrine in the context of government retirement systems.

Show Me the Money: Determining a Celebrity’s Fair Market Value in a Right of Publicity Action
Authors: Reaves Cody
Published: March 2022

As the power of celebrity continues to grow in the age of social media, so too does the price of using a celebrity’s name and likeness to promote a product. With the newfound ease of using Twitter, Facebook, and even print media to use a celebrity’s identity in conjunction with a product or company, right of publicity concerns arise. When a company uses a celebrity’s name and likeness without the celebrity’s authorization to market or sell a product, companies open themselves up to right of publicity suits. Many of these cases settle out of court. But when these cases do go to trial, a unique set of problems arise when expert testimony is used to determine the fair market value of the unauthorized use of the celebrity’s name or likeness. This Note examines two competing methods of fair market value calculation often utilized by expert witnesses, with a focus on one in particular—the hypothetical negotiation test—and examines this test using copyright and property principles. It concludes by arguing for a new way of viewing the hypothetical negotiation test, and proposes that the two competing tests may not be so different after all.
