Efficiency of zakat institutions: Evidence from an emerging economy
Authors: Ghufran T. Muhammad , Zaenal Muhammad Hasbi , Endri Endri
Published: May 2023

Efficiency is essential for an institution because it can measure how well resources are used to achieve its specific goals (Wahab & Rahman, 2011). Zakat institutions must be managed efficiently, so they are maximized in promoting socio-economic goals, especially poverty alleviation (Wahab & Rahman, 2013). This study aims to analyze the efficiency level of Baitul Mal districts/cities of Aceh Province in Indonesia. Efficiency measurement uses a nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach during 2018–2020. DEA analyzes the interaction between input variables consisting of socialization costs, number of amil, and operational costs, with output variables comprising the total collection and distribution of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah (ZIS). The results show that 11 Baitul Mal out of 69 decision-making unit (DMU) (15.94%) are efficient overall, technical, and scale. As for technical efficiency, there are 16 Baitul Mal (23.19%) that are efficient, the remaining 26 Baitul Mal (40.58%) have a score below 60, and 27 Baitul Mal (36.23%) have a score above 60. Regency Baitul Mal Aceh Besar became the only Baitul Mal that achieved efficiency throughout the research period. The source of Baitul Mal’s inefficiency comes from all variables. Baitul Mal must optimize socialization costs by 60.68%, operational costs by 33.60%, and the role of amil by 3.20%. Furthermore, Baitul Mal must increase the amount of ZIS collection by 46.29% and the distribution of ZIS by 52.84% to achieve efficiency.
Effect of extrusion process on the stress corrosion cracking resistance of 7N01 aluminum alloy

Published: May 2023

In this work, the effect of extrusion process on the mechanical properties and the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance of 7N01 aluminum alloys were systematically investigated by tensile testing, slow strain rate testing (SSRT), electrochemical experiment, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation, respectively. The results showed that with the increase of extrusion temperature, the SCC resistances of the alloys deteriorated, and this tendency was also proved by the electrochemical experiments including polarization curves and EIS results. The Microstructure observation results revealed that recrystallization played an important role on the SCC resistances of the alloys: the new recrystallization grain boundaries with higher grain boundary energy and wider PFZ could magnify the difference of electrochemical property between grain boundary area and the grain interior, thus raising the stress corrosion crack sensitivity of the alloys.
Internet of Things and Blockchain-Based Smart Contracts: Enabling Continuous Risk Monitoring and Assessment in Peer-to-Peer Lending
Authors: Zhang Zihao , Gu Yu , Jiang Lanxin , Yu Wenjun , Dai Jun
Published: May 2023

Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending enables individuals and small companies to finance and invest without the intermediation of financial institutions. However, this business model is also associated with high delinquency risk and a lack of risk monitoring and control capabilities. This paper explores the potential of the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, smart contract technologies, and the Continuous Risk Monitoring and Assessment (CRMA) framework to re-engineer risk monitoring and control for P2P lending. We conducted a case study of a large Chinese P2P lending company to identify problems in its current risk monitoring and control processes and to design an IoT-smart contract CRMA system to continuously monitor and respond to delinquency risk via real-time data collection, automatic loan settlement, and in-time risk disclosure.

Published: May 2023

Objectives

To evaluate the outcome of treating deep overbite (OB) using anterior bite elevators concurrently with a pre-adjusted edgewise appliance.

Materials and Methods

The Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) cephalometric analysis was used to isolate tipping movement of upper (TUI) and lower incisors (TLI), bodily tooth movement of upper (BUI), and lower incisors (BLI), as well as vertical skeletal changes in the anterior region of the maxilla (MXSK) and mandible (MNSK). Thirty treated subjects were examined at pretreatment (T1) and posttreatment (T2) and compared to an untreated control group matched on age, sex, and Angle malocclusion from the Bolton Brush Growth Study Collection (CWRU, Cleveland, Ohio).

Results

Overbite (OB) in the treated group was decreased significantly (P < .001) (−5.6 mm) compared to controls. Statistically significant (P < .001) changes were found for BUI (−0.7 mm), TUI (0.9 mm), TLI (−1.4 mm), BLI (−1.1 mm), and MNSK (−1.6 mm). Most of the overbite correction was in the lower arch and included tipping and intrusion of the lower incisors along with an increase in lower vertical facial height.

Conclusions

Deep OB correction was achieved efficiently using anterior bite elevators with pre-adjusted edgewise appliance. Correction using bite turbos would be a treatment option for individuals presenting with decreased lower facial height and deep bite.

Published: May 2023

In recent years, medical data analysis has become a well-known research topic in healthcare in recent years. Smart healthcare will use a new generation of information technologies, like artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data, to transform the conventional medical system in an all-around way, making healthcare highly effective, more personalized, and more convenient to support healthcare practitioners in their decision-making. Due to the huge amount of medical data, appropriate clustering methods have been proven useful to implement an efficient medical data classification process. In addition, the development of machine learning models effectively aids the classification process. With this motivation, this paper focuses on a unit-wide search algorithm with an optimal support vector machine model for medical data analysis. The purpose of the proposed model is to classify health data using clustering and classification models. In addition, the proposed technique includes a clustering method for medical data, which helps to improve the classification performance. In addition, the model used examines accumulated medical data to perform the classification process. In addition, an optimization algorithm is used to improve the classification results of medical data. Extensive benchmarking and a wide range of simulations can highlight the promising performance of the research technique.
HAKIKAT FISIKA DAN KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS
Authors: Murdani Eka
Published: May 2023

Artikel ini membahas hakikat sains (the nature of science) dan keterbatasan sains (limitation of science) yang lebih dikhususkan pada fisika. Hakikat fisika terdiri atas fisika sebagai proses dan fisika sebagai produk. Produk fisika diantaranya adalah fakta, data, konsep, hukum, prinsip, aturan, teori dan model. Fisika sebagai aktivitas (proses) riset dan pengkajian dengan menggunakan metode ilmiah yang mengandalkan keterampilan-keterampilan proses (observasi, berhipotesis, eksperimentasi, dan sebagainya). Artikel ini ditulis berdasarkan kajian literatur filsafat. Filsafat ilmu berusaha menjelaskan hakekat ilmu fisika yang mempunyai banyak keterbatasan, sehingga dapat diperoleh pemahaman yang padu mengenai berbagai fenomena alam yang telah menjadi objek ilmu fisika itu sendiri, dan yang cenderung terfragmentasi. Untuk itu filsafat ilmu berperan dalam menghindarkan diri dari memutlakkan kebenaran ilmiah, dan menganggap bahwa ilmu sebagai satu-satunya cara memperoleh kebenaran. Dengan filsafat melatih berfikir radikal tentang hakekat ilmu dan menghidarkan diri dari egoisme ilmiah, yakni tidak menghargai sudut pandang lain di luar bidang ilmunya, serta dengan berfilsafat melatih berfikir reflektif di dalam lingkup ilmu.Kata Kunci:  Hakikat Fisika; Eksperimen Fisika; Keterampilan Proses Sains; Keterbatasan Sains.
Makna Filosofis Ketiadaan dan Relevansinya dengan Tipe Data Undefined pada Javascript
Authors: Putawa Rilliandi Arindra
Published: May 2023

Artikel ini merupakan artikel bidang kefilsafatan yang berusaha menelusuri makna dari salah satu konsep penting dalam bidang metafisika, yakni konsep Ketiadaan. Konsep ini sendiri pada dasarnya tidak mudah untuk didefinisikan bahkan cenderung mustahil untuk didefinisikan, seperti halnya konsep Ada, sehingga perlu ada penelusuran lebih lanjur dari berbagai pemikiran filsuf yang turut membahas konsep ini mulai dari Parmenides, hingga filsuf eksistensialisme, seperti Sartre. Konsep ini juga turut berkembang pada bidang keilmuan lain, hingga turut menjadi bagian dari perkembangan teknologi, melalui bahasa pemrograman pada ilmu komputer. Pada bahasa pemrograman JavaScript terdapat dua tipe data set yang identik dengan konsep ketiadaan, yakni tipe data Null dan tipe data Undefined. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian bidang filsafat yang akan mencoba menelusuri pemikiran-pemikiran filosofis mengenai konsep Ketiadaan menggunakan kajian pustaka dari beberapa karya-karya bidang kefilsafatan. Adapun setelah itu akan dianalisis dan dicari relevansinya dengan tipe data Null dan tipe data Undefined. Ada dua hasil yang diperoleh dari riset kualitatif pada penelitian ini. Pertama, pada filsafat barat, konsep Ketiadaan memiliki perubahan makna yang awalnya identik dengan kondisi murni tiada, hingga berubah menjadi identik dengan manusia, selaku pengada. Di sisi lain pada filsafat timur, ketiadaan sedari awal telah identik dengan suatu kondisi positif yang dicapai manusia melalui spontanitas. Kedua, penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa kedua tipe data tersebut di satu sisi dapat menggambarkan Ketiadaan layaknya himpunan kosong, namun di sisi lain adanya kontrol dari manusia dan fakta bahwa kedua konsep tersebut telah dideklarasikan dan diketahui oleh sript sebelumnya menjadikan keduanya juga tidak identik dengan Ketiadaan.
Panah Waktu: Sebuah Tinjauan Epistemologi Pada Entropi
Authors: Marfuatun
Published: May 2023

Panah waktu merupakan pandangan asimetris terhadap waktu atau waktu hanya punya satu arah saja. Segala sesuatu yang telah dijalani menjadi masa lalu yang bersifat tetap dan tidak dapat kita ubah serta hanya dapat diakses melalui memori atau dokumentasi yang tertulis. Penjelasan panah waktu dapat dijelaskan melalui pendekatan kimia yaitu dengan hukum kedua termodinamika. Pada artikel ini penulis mengkaji kaitan antara panah waktu dan entropi dalam tataran epistemologi melalui pendekatan termodinamika, kosmologis, dan psikologis. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan artikel ini adalah kajian pustaka, dengan menggunakan dokumen serta artikel jurnal yang relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan hukum kedua termodinamika, waktu menuju kondisi tertentu yang bersifat tidak dapat balik dan hanya menuju masa depan. Berdasarkan pendekatan kosmologis, panah waktu dikaitkan dengan alam semesta yang mengembang seiring waktu. Pada pendekatan psikologis, panah waktu berkaitan dengan penjelasan bahwa manusia mampu mengingat masa lalu dengan baik namun tidak mampu memprediksi masa depan dengan tepat. Ketiga pandangan panah waktu tersebut dijelaskan melalui konsep entropi bahwa dalam ruang tertutup entropi akan selalu meningkat sehingga sangat sulit untuk kembali ke kondisi awal yang derajat entropinya lebih kecil.
Konsep Diskursus Dalam Karya Michel Foucault
Authors: Kurniawan Rahmat , Zubaidah
Published: May 2023

Diskursus adalah topik utama dalam teori sosial, dengan pekerjaan yang mencakup bidang-bidang seperti sosiologi, antropologi, filsafat kontinental, dan analisis diskursus. ini menjadi sebuah konsep yang dibangun oleh Michel Foucault (1926–1984). diskursus dalam berbagai karyanya Foucault adalah kumpulan ide, pemikiran, dan gambar yang berkontribusi pada pembentukan gagasan suatu budaya. Sebagai seorang filsuf, foucault menawarkan teori diskursus untuk mendukung argumennya. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan secara eksplisit dan komprehensif konsep pemikiran Michel foucault dari perspektif filsafat. Tujuan ini dicapai dengan memaparkan latar belakang dan beberapa pokok-pokok karya Michel foucault tentang diskursus, terutama dalam karyanya masuk gagasan pokok, pandangan, dan nalar empirismenya melalui gagasan diskursus yang ada. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dalam bidang filsafat. Data dikumpulkan melalui studi kepustakaan, kemudian dianalisis secara hermeneutika dengan dua unsur metode yaitu verstehen dan interpret. Pertama, penelitian ini menunjukkan Diskursus dibentuk oleh hubungan antara keinginan dan dan institusi. Analisis memisahkan keduanya, kritis dan genealogis. Kedua, Prosedur penguasaan dan pengendalian dibagi oleh Foucault menjadi tiga kategori: pengecualian, penghalusan, dan penerapan (analisis bentuk tidak menunjukkan kelimpahan, tetapi kelangkaan). Kemudian dia memeriksa bagaimana ini bersinggungan dengan filsafat. Ketiga, tugas-tugas ini membutuhkan prinsip-prinsip metodologis: pertama, prinsip pembalikan; kedua, prinsip diskontinuitas; ketiga, prinsip kekhususan; keempat, prinsip eksterioritas. Konsep filosofis yang mendasar adalah peristiwa dan rangkaian. diskursus menurut foucault harus dipahami sebagai instrumen dan efek kekuasaan, dan juga sebagai penghalang, titik perlawanan dan titik awal untuk strategi lawan.

Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy: A Typical Case of MERRF and the Lessons Learnt
Authors: Kumari Geeta , Singh Ajay , Mehta Sarang Tusharbhai , Chavan Manisha
Published: May 2023

Mitochondria are referred to as the energy centers of cells, and mitochondrial DNA are known to alter the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which reduces cellular energy and causes ion-channel malfunction and neuronal cell death. As majority of the cells contain mitochondria, these disorders involve multiple systems. Since the energy requirements of different tissues vary, their vulnerability to mitochondrial dysfunction also varies in terms of threshold. This causes these disorders to appear clinically in a variety of ways and with significant phenotypic overlap. The genotypic and phenotypic definitions of some specific symptoms are, nevertheless, well established. Potentially deadly mitochondrial toxins are present in some epileptic medications and early diagnosis of the condition can help prevent serious morbidities. We describe a typical case of sodium valproate and lamotrigine-induced fast multiaxial worsening in a patient with myoclonic epilepsy with red ragged fibers (MERRF) as these drugs act as mitochondrial poisons and could prove life threatening for patients with mitochondrial diseases. When mitochondrial cocktail was introduced and the problematic medicines were removed, the symptoms were somewhat reversed. MERRF in progeny of non- consanguineous parents is a rare occurrence resulting in poor prognosis of the disease. Epileptic drugs lamotrigine and sodium valproate should be avoided as these drugs worsen myoclonus and cause mitochondrial toxicities. With knowledge of the information in this scenario, further harm to the patient can be prevented.

Authors: Ahmed Saminu , Zayyanu Abdullahi Sarki
Published: May 2023

The research worked on flood forecasting of Kainji Lake using stochastic models by making use of average monthly inflow data for 30 years from the period of 1990 to 2021 and average annual peak flows data for 21 years from 2000 to 2021 collected from Kainji Dam meteorological station. MINITAB and SPSS software were used for the analysis. The potential models selected for the analysis were ARIMA Models of order (2,1,2) and (2,1,0) for inflows and (1,1,1) and (1,1,0) for peak flows. The selection of these models was done by identifying their features using Auto and Partial Autocorrelation functions of having the lowest values of Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Sum of Squares (SS) and Mean Squares (MS) when compared to the other models. Furthermore, the analysis of the residuals for Auto and Partial Autocorrelation functions, normal probability and Histogram plots were obtained and used for the validation of the models, the results show ARIMA of order (2,12) and (1,1,1) for in-flow and peak flow were the best. Twelve and a half (12.5) and five (5) years of forecast data for the two cases were obtained. The forecast result showed that the months of August to October 2023 have high inflow values with September having the highest inflow with a value of 3471.33 (m3/sec). This highlighted the importance and usefulness of these models in warning the communities around the study area of likely impending flood events from the months of September to October and also the land around the study area can be used for agricultural purposes during the months of March to July due to low flows.
The Dynamics of Sustainable Livelihoods and Agroforestry in Gunungkidul Karst Area, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Sulistiyowati Eka , Setiadi Setiadi , Haryono Eko
Published: May 2023

The livelihoods of farmers in developing countries are often associated with the existence of forests, especially agroforestry. The dynamics of agroforestry and livelihoods could not be separated from the political context and developments in Indonesia. In this paper, the dynamics of Sustainable Livelihood Assets (SLA) owned by smallholder farmers are explored using three political sequences, namely the New Order Era, the Reform Era, and the Post-Reform Era. The result showed that the development of agroforestry in Gunungkidul had been primarily influenced by political initiatives that have a connection with vegetation coverage, livelihood assets, and species composition in the systems. The livelihoods possessed by farmers have been relatively sustainable during the past five decades; only a slight change could be observed in the ownership of capital. The political initiatives have been an enabling environment for agroforestry development that support sustainable livelihoods. The study recommends that the socio-political culture needs to consider the traditional agroforestry system in order to sustain the livelihoods of the people.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Community Medicine, AIIMS, Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh, India, Singh Abhay
Published: May 2023

Background: Biomedical waste poses a great risk of infection and damage. Improper waste management could have major public health repercussions. Medical students are exposed to various biomedical wastes during their training in the hospital. Their lack of awareness about biomedical waste management is hazardous to their health and the health of others. The purpose of this study was to examine undergraduate and postgraduate students’ understanding of biomedical waste management in a study setting. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 350 undergraduate and postgraduate students at a tertiary care hospital in South Delhi in 2019. Data were collected using a self-structured and administered questionnaire after taking informed consent. Data were analysed using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: 86% of participants were aware of the BMW legislation. 79% always practised BMWM guidelines and 65% had correctly identified biohazard symbols. Postgraduate students had better knowledge about colour coding and disposal methods of biomedical waste than undergraduate students including interns. Conclusions: Undergraduate and postgraduate students were aware of biomedical waste but finer details for its management were far from perfection. Sensitisation about BMW hazards, regular training, continuous monitoring, and feedback are recommended to improve their biomedical waste management practices.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has become common worldwide. The current study was suggested to evaluate the impact of smoking on abortion in Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infected women. Method: The study was conducted on 66 women IgG and IgM were used to detect CMV infection in women who had undergone abortion. Results: The current results showed significant differences in the number of births and marriage duration (p=0.009, p=0.010) and non-significant difference in age (p=0.750) in both groups. There was a high percentage of smokers (21.21%) in women with abortion as compared to the healthy group. There were significant elevations of IgG (2.32 ± 0.53) and IgM (0.51 ± 0.312) levels in women who had undergone abortion (p = 0.000) as compared to healthy women. A significant inverse association between IgG level and number of abortions (p=0.019), and a non-significant weak correlation between IgM and number of abortions (p=0.969) was noted. The impact of smoking on the number of abortions and birth showed non-significant differences (p=0.871, p=0.955) respectively between smoker and non-smoker groups. Healthy women didn’t have any abortion and showed non-significant differences in the number of births (p=0.430) in comparison with abortion group. The effect of smoking on the levels of IgG and IgM of study groups shows non-significant changes. Conclusion: The current study concluded that smoking does not contribute to abortion in any direct effect, but it may lead to CMV infection by weakening the immune response.

The outbreak of the coronavirus has had an impact on people's lives. COVID-19 not only has an impact on health but also on the economy, education, social and security. A lot of COVID-19 hoax information circulating on social media can confuse the public (infodemic). Infodemic leads to excessive information related to COVID-19 that can interfere with finding solutions and not necessarily valid information content. This study aims to determine the relationship between exposure to COVID-19 infodemic and compliance with the application of health protocols in Udayana University Medical Faculty students. This research is a quantitative analytic study with a cross sectional study approach which obtained 236 respondents. Based on the results of the study, most of the women (70.34%), reside in Denpasar (33.90%), the PSSKPD study program (38.56%) and the 2019 batch (53.81%). In addition, respondents also access information well through social media (94.07%), have a positive attitude in receiving COVID-19 information (69.92%), have a positive perception of COVID-19 information (67.37%) so that respondents were not exposed to COVID-19 hoaxes (58.47%) and respondents were obedient in implementing health procedures (75%). In this study, gender characteristics had a relationship with health care adherence (p=0.002). Likewise, access to information (p=0.026) and perception of COVID-19 information (p=0.045) had a relationship with health care compliance. Therefore, it is expected to use FK's social media to provide positive information, especially regarding COVID-19 and urge students to follow all FK's social media.

SUPPORTING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FIRST MOTHERS AND THEIR UNBORNS: AN ANTIDOTE TO DISSOCIATION?

The old saw in child welfare circles— “A baby is the only living thing without a past, only a future”—was always self-serving. Now we know it was always patently false. The new science in infant mental health and prenatal psychology makes it possible to reconsider the matter of various risks in prenatal life. We are then released to wonder what life is like in there, for example, for a child scheduled to be surrendered for adoption. While we don’t yet proclaim to have special avenues into the mental life of prenates—or even systematic means to investigate it—evidence mounts that there IS such life, that it’s responsive to the mother’s mental life, and that such early and interactive mental life is of consequence for the baby’s later development. While there is still much to learn, we can surely say that it’s incomprehensible that the first nine months of the life of a child whose mom does not intend to keep him is anything but innocuous. What if we considered these questions non-rhetorically and non-judgmentally: “How could a woman ever be expected to forget a baby she had carried for nine months? What would it take to ‘move on’ from the experience…” (Glaser, 2021, p. 4). Might we even conclude that we’re disrespecting first mothers to assume that they pay no attention to what is happening, and have no psychological response to it? And if moms do have a response, is it detectable by the babies within? Finally, are early and primitive working models of self and other created in utero? Might these early working models be brought by the adoptee to his relationship with his adoptive mother? If so, to what effect? This paper focuses on one aspect of the mental life of a mother who intends to surrender her child for adoption: the possibility that she may, as a defense, dissociate—a kind of withdrawal from her own experience—and that such withdrawal may be experienced by the baby as maternal absence and rejection. We will try to show what this experience is like for the unborn, what defenses may be erected, and how such early experience may shape later relationships.

La escritora chilena Marta Brunet (1897-1967) realizó una prolífica carrera literaria con novelas como Montaña adentro, María Nadie y Amasijo, que se coronó con el Premio Nacional de Literatura 1961. En paralelo a su labor como escritora, desarrolló su trabajo como reportera y directora en los diarios y revistas como El Día, La Discusión, El Sur, La Nación, La Hora, Ecrán, Familia y Repertorio Americano que recién comienza a visibilizarse. Este artículo analiza cómo en sus crónicas, columnas y entrevistas, Marta Brunet no es una escritora que ejerce el periodismo tangencialmente, sino que entrevista y redacta según las rutinas reporteriles de la disciplina, de manera que sus escritos traspasan lo netamente factual para convertirse en piezas informativas que valoran e interpretan acontecimientos con agudeza, personalidad y erudición, como una periodista literaria moderna propiamente.

A team of lecturers from the Department of Environmental Engineering has researched waste treatment in quality, quantity, and operational terms in the tofu and tempeh industry and formulated a wastewater management model using appropriate and effective technology to support sustainable development. The results of processing tofu waste will be tested on vegetable plants with a hydroponic system. The problem is that the waste from the tofu industry pollutes the environment and is not utilized. This study aims to utilize liquid tofu waste as a hydroponic medium for vegetable plants. This research was carried out experimentally by making demonstration plots using a completely randomized design (CRD) method with three hydroponic media treatments and three replications. The three hydroponic media treatments were AB mix hydroponic media with the addition of 10% tofu waste which had been coagulated with moringa seed powder (Moringa oleifera); AB mix hydroponic media with the addition of 10% tofu waste which has been coagulated with tamarind seed powder (Tamarindus indica) and untreated AB mix hydroponic media. The plant growth factors to be measured are plant height and the number of leaves. The results showed that plant height and the number of leaves on Kangkung (water spinach, Ipomoea aquatica) treated with tofu waste, both coagulated moringa seed powder and tamarind seed powder, showed lower results than plants that were not treated. This can also be seen from the survival value of the treated Kangkung, which showed a value of 50% for the treatment of moringa seed powder and 67% for the treatment of tamarind seed powder. At the same time, the survival of the Kangkung plants that were not given treatment was 83%. It needs to be reviewed, especially from the BOD and COD values ​​of tofu waste solution, which are very influential on the growth of vegetable plants. It is necessary to do research again by fulfilling the nutritional requirements needed by plants to grow and thrive.
