Mediteranski korijeni hodočašća
Authors: Podhraški Čizmek Zrinka
Published: July 2021

U radu se tematiziraju hrvatska hodočašća pomorskim putem, tražeći im izvore u prapovijesnom mediteranskom kontekstu. Od prvih potraga za svetim, drukčijim i drugim, od prapovijesnih hijerofanija i čovjekova pokušaja objašnjenja tajni kozmosa do nastojanja davanja odgovora nepoznatom te reda kaosu – nailazimo na čovjeka koji putuje i traži odgovore. Čovjek, kao dio zajednice, putem kozmogonija i potom teofanija
objašnjava stvaranje svijeta i pokušava dati smisao stvarnosti koja ga okružuje. Taj modus putovanja i hodočašćenja k svetom i božanskom nastavlja se i u povijesnom periodu u trima velikim monoteističkim vjerama koje se rađaju i šire na Mediteranu: židovstvu, kršćanstvu i islamu. Mediteran je prostor putovanja i putnika, križanja misli, filozofija i vjera. Od kasne antike, preko srednjega vijeka, do modernog
doba, Sredozemlje je sjecište hodočasnika sa svih smjerova Mediterana. Ovaj rad prikazuje hodočašća i hodočasnike koji su s hrvatske obale putovali u Loreto i Asiz u 18. stoljeću. Na temelju 16 000 dokumenata Hrvatskih pomorskih regesta 18. stoljeća (I. – III. sv.), pronađena su 303 hodočašća prema Loretu i Asizu koja svjedoče o 2513 hodočasnika koji
su, ponajviše u velikim i organiziranim grupama do čak 80 ljudi, putovali s istočne obale Jadrana – sa sjevera iz Umaga pa sve do juga iz
Boke kotorske – prema tim starim i hrvatskim vjernicima dobro poznatim svetištima. Hrvatska pomorska hodočašća pokazuju, dakle, neosporne mediteranske korijene i nevjerojatan kontinuitet od više desetaka tisuća
godina.
Adaptive hybrid architecture for enhancement of the complex hydroclimatic system and assessment of freshwater security
Authors: Budamala Venkatesh , Mahindrakar Amit Baburao
Published: July 2021

Future freshwater security relies on hydroclimatic (HC) shifts and regimes for sustainable development. The approximation of the HC system faces major uncertainties and complexities due to the incorporation of heavy datasets, characteristics, and constraints. The proposed study focused on the parallel computing of emulator modeling-based spatial optimization to enhance the HC systems with the perspective of future freshwater security in the Upper Chattahoochee River basin (UCR). Here, the framework compiles both physical and machine learning concepts with adaptive technology for the replication of real-world scenarios. Besides, it contains 2Emulator Model Fitting, Spatial Optimization, Parallel Computing, and Initial and Adaptive sampling to upgrade model efficiency, while UCR has inadequate groundwater and the assessment of freshwater security in UCR is more necessary for varying future climatic conditions. The results displayed that the proposed spatial optimization algorithm proved to be an effective and efficient approach in the approximation of HC models. The assessment of water security in UCR was showed in terms of scarcity and vulnerability indicators for median and low-level conditions, respectively. Moreover, this study provides the potential framework for the enhancement of physical model predictions with the incorporation of hybrid concepts for problem-solving technology which can provide significant information on HC issues.

Published: July 2021

Water resources are one of the most important features of the environment to meet human needs. In the current research, morphological, quantitative and qualitative hydrological, and land use factors as well as the combined factor, which is the combination of effective variables of the aforementioned factors, have been used to estimate River Water Withdrawal (RWW) for agricultural uses. Lavasanat and Qazvin are selected as study areas, located in the Namak Lake basin in Iran, with Bsk and Csa climate categories, respectively. Estimation of RWW is performed using single and Wavelet–hybrid (W-hybrid) data-driven methods, including Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Wavelet–ANN (WANNs), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Wavelet–ANFIS (WANFIS), Gene Expression Programming (GEP), and Wavelet–GEP (WGEP). Due to the evaluation criteria, the performance of the WGEP model is the best among the others for estimating RWW variables in both study areas. Considering the W-hybrid models with data de-noising for estimating RWW in the Lavasanat and Qazvin study areas, the obtained values of RMSE for WGEP11 to WGEP15 and WGEP21 to WGEP25 equal 67.268, 54.659, 80.871, 50.796, 15.676 and 105.532, 96.615, 105.018, 160.961, 44.332, respectively. The results indicate that WGEP and ANN are the best and poorest models in both study areas without regarding climate condition effects. Also, a combined factor which includes River Width (RW), minimum flow rate (QMin), average flow rate (QMean), Electrical Conductivity (EC), and Cultivated Area (CA) variables is introduced as the best factor to estimate RWW variables compared with the other factors in both the Bsk and Csa climate categories. On the other hand, qualitative hydrological and land use factors were the weakest ones to estimate RWW variables in the Bsk and Csa climate categories, respectively. Therefore, the current study explores how the mathematical relations for estimating RWW have a significant effect on water resources management and planning by policymakers in the future.
DDoS Attack Detection in Software Defined Networks by Various Metrics
Authors: Malallah Fahad Layth , Saadallah Noor Raad , Al-Talib Sahar Abdul Aziz
Published: July 2021

Background:

Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) are a new architectural approach to
smart centralized control networks that were introduced alongside Open Flow in 2011. SDNs are
programmed using software applications that help operators manage the network in a fully consistent
and comprehensive way. Centralization in these networks is considered a weakness, especially
if it is accessed by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack - which is the process of uploading
huge floods of various sorts of traffic to a website, from multiple sources, in order to make
it and its services inaccessible to users.

Method:

In our current research, we will build an SDN through a Mininet virtualization simulator,
and by using Python. A DDoS attack will be detected depending on two facts: firstly, Traffic State -
which normally sees traffic packets sent at around 30 packets per second (DDoS packets are about
250 packets per second and will completely disrupt the network if the attack persists). Secondly, the
number of IP Hits. The method used in the research appears very effective in detecting DDoS, according
to the results we have achieved.

Result:

The proposed performance of the system: The Precision (PREC), Recall (REC), and FMeasure
(F1) metrics have been used for assessment.

Conclusion:

The novelty of the current research lies in the detection of penetration in SDN networks,
by calculating the number of hits by the hacker's device and the number of times they enter the
main device in the network, in addition to the large amount of data sent by the hacker's device to the
network. The experimental results are promising as compared with the datasets like CIC-DoS, CICIDS2017,
CSE-CIC-IDS2018, and customized dataset. The results ranged between 90% and 96%.

Exploring the Use of Genomic and Routinely Collected Data: Narrative Literature Review and Interview Study
Authors: Daniels Helen , Jones Kerina Helen , Heys Sharon , Ford David Vincent
Published: July 2021

Background

Advancing the use of genomic data with routinely collected health data holds great promise for health care and research. Increasing the use of these data is a high priority to understand and address the causes of disease.

Objective

This study aims to provide an outline of the use of genomic data alongside routinely collected data in health research to date. As this field prepares to move forward, it is important to take stock of the current state of play in order to highlight new avenues for development, identify challenges, and ensure that adequate data governance models are in place for safe and socially acceptable progress.

Methods

We conducted a literature review to draw information from past studies that have used genomic and routinely collected data and conducted interviews with individuals who use these data for health research. We collected data on the following: the rationale of using genomic data in conjunction with routinely collected data, types of genomic and routinely collected data used, data sources, project approvals, governance and access models, and challenges encountered.

Results

The main purpose of using genomic and routinely collected data was to conduct genome-wide and phenome-wide association studies. Routine data sources included electronic health records, disease and death registries, health insurance systems, and deprivation indices. The types of genomic data included polygenic risk scores, single nucleotide polymorphisms, and measures of genetic activity, and biobanks generally provided these data. Although the literature search showed that biobanks released data to researchers, the case studies revealed a growing tendency for use within a data safe haven. Challenges of working with these data revolved around data collection, data storage, technical, and data privacy issues.

Conclusions

Using genomic and routinely collected data holds great promise for progressing health research. Several challenges are involved, particularly in terms of privacy. Overcoming these barriers will ensure that the use of these data to progress health research can be exploited to its full potential.
Augmented Reality for Guideline Presentation in Medicine: Randomized Crossover Simulation Trial for Technically Assisted Decision-making
Authors: Follmann Andreas , Ruhl Alexander , Gösch Michael , Felzen Marc , Rossaint Rolf , Czaplik Michael
Published: July 2021

Background

Guidelines provide instructions for diagnostics and therapy in modern medicine. Various mobile devices are used to represent the potential complex decision trees. An example of time-critical decisions is triage in case of a mass casualty incident.

Objective

In this randomized controlled crossover study, the potential of augmented reality for guideline presentation was evaluated and compared with the guideline presentation provided in a tablet PC as a conventional device.

Methods

A specific Android app was designed for use with smart glasses and a tablet PC for the presentation of a triage algorithm as an example for a complex guideline. Forty volunteers simulated a triage based on 30 fictional patient descriptions, each with technical support from smart glasses and a tablet PC in a crossover trial design. The time to come to a decision and the accuracy were recorded and compared between both devices.

Results

A total of 2400 assessments were performed by the 40 volunteers. A significantly faster time to triage was achieved in total with the tablet PC (median 12.8 seconds, IQR 9.4-17.7; 95% CI 14.1-14.9) compared to that to triage with smart glasses (median 17.5 seconds, IQR 13.2-22.8, 95% CI 18.4-19.2; P=.001). Considering the difference in the triage time between both devices, the additional time needed with the smart glasses could be reduced significantly in the course of assessments (21.5 seconds, IQR 16.5-27.3, 95% CI 21.6-23.2) in the first run, 17.4 seconds (IQR 13-22.4, 95% CI 17.6-18.9) in the second run, and 14.9 seconds (IQR 11.7-18.6, 95% CI 15.2-16.3) in the third run (P=.001). With regard to the accuracy of the guideline decisions, there was no significant difference between both the devices.

Conclusions

The presentation of a guideline on a tablet PC as well as through augmented reality achieved good results. The implementation with smart glasses took more time owing to their more complex operating concept but could be accelerated in the course of the study after adaptation. Especially in a non–time-critical working area where hands-free interfaces are useful, a guideline presentation with augmented reality can be of great use during clinical management.

Published: July 2021

Background

Good nutrition affects children’s health, well-being, and learning, and schools offer an important setting to promote healthy behaviors that can last a lifetime. Once children reach school age, they spend more of their waking hours in school than in any other environment. Children’s eating habits may be easier to influence than those of adults. In Canada, households with children are more likely to experience food insecurity, and school food programs that are universally available to all children can support the development of healthy eating patterns across groups of varying socioeconomic status. There is a significant gap in the rigorous community-engaged academic research on the impact of school meal programs, especially universal ones.

Objective

The aim of this population health intervention research is to study the impact of a 2-year universal, curriculum-integrated healthy school lunch program in elementary schools in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, on food consumption, dietary quality and food and nutrition-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices.

Methods

This population health intervention study will be conducted in 2 intervention elementary schools matched with 2 control schools. We will collect preintervention data, including objective measurements of food eaten at school and food-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. This will be followed by the intervention itself, along with qualitative case studies of the intervention process in the 2 intervention schools. Then, we will collect postintervention data similar to the preintervention data. Finally, we will finish the data analysis and complete the ongoing sharing of learning from the project.

Results

This study was funded in April 2020 but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, data collection did not begin until May 2021. The intervention will begin in September 2021 and end in June 2023, with end point data collection occurring in May and June 2023. The case study research will begin in September 2021 and will be ongoing for the duration of the intervention.

Conclusions

The opportunity we have to systematically and comprehensively study a curriculum-integrated school lunch program, as well as the promising practices for school food programs across Canada, is without precedent.

Using Visual Guides to Reduce Virtual Reality Sickness in First-Person Shooter Games: Correlation Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Seok Kwang-Ho , Kim YeolHo , Son Wookho , Kim Yoon Sang
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

The virtual reality (VR) content market is rapidly growing due to an increased supply of VR devices such as head-mounted displays (HMDs), whereas VR sickness (reported to occur while experiencing VR) remains an unsolved problem. The most widely used method of reducing VR sickness is the use of a rest frame that stabilizes the user's viewpoint by providing fixed visual stimuli in VR content (including video). However, the earth-fixed grid and natural independent visual background that are widely used as rest frames cannot maintain VR fidelity, as they reduce the immersion and the presence of the user. A visual guide is a visual element (eg, a crosshair of first-person shooter [FPS]) that induces a user's gaze movement within the VR content while maintaining VR fidelity, whereas there are no studies on the correlation of visual guide with VR sickness.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to analyze the correlation between VR sickness and crosshair, which is widely used as a visual guide in FPS games.

METHODS

Eight experimental scenarios were designed and evaluated, including having the visual guide on/off, the game controller on/off, and varying the size and position of the visual guide to determine the effect of visual guide on VR sickness.

RESULTS

The results showed that VR sickness significantly decreased when visual guide was applied in an FPS game. In addition, VR sickness was lower when the visual guide was adjusted to 30% of the aspect ratio and positioned in the head-tracking direction.

CONCLUSIONS

The experimental results of this study indicate that the visual guide can achieve VR sickness reduction while maintaining user presence and immersion in the virtual environment. In other words, the use of a visual guide is expected to solve the existing limitation of distributing various types of content due to VR sickness.

Authors: Sawa Ryuichi , Saitoh Masakazu , Morisawa Tomoyuki , Takahashi Tetsuya , Morimoto Yuh , Kagiyama Nobuyuki , Kasai Takatoshi , Dinesen Birthe , Daida Hiroyuki
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Commercially available active video games (AVGs) have recently been used for rehabilitation in some specific patient populations but rarely in those with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Commercially available AVGs are designed to increase motivation for continuous play, which could be applicable to the long-term cardiac rehabilitation process.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this scoping review was to assess the effectiveness of AVG-induced physical exercise, safety management, and patient adherence by applying commercially available AVGs to cardiac rehabilitation.

METHODS

Four databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, and SPORTDiscus) were searched for all years up to August 12, 2020. Articles were retained if they were written in English, included patients with CVD who were aged 18 years or older, and used AVGs as part of a physical exercise program. The included studies were then evaluated from the viewpoints of effectiveness as physical exercise, safety, and adherence management.

RESULTS

Among 120 nonduplicate articles reviewed, 5 (4.2%) were eligible for inclusion, of which 3 (2.5%) were reported by the same research group. The AVG consoles used were Xbox Kinect and Nintendo Wii, and sports-related programs were adopted for the intervention. No adverse cardiac events occurred in the identified studies, and dropout rates tended to be low.

CONCLUSIONS

AVGs appear to be safe and feasible for promoting an active lifestyle in patients with CVD. However, the effectiveness of AVGs alone as a therapeutic exercise to improve physical function may be limited.
Adoption of the Website and Mobile App of a Preventive Health Program Across Neighborhoods With Different Socioeconomic Conditions in the Netherlands: Longitudinal Study (Preprint)
Authors: Agachi Elena , Bijmolt Tammo H A , Mierau Jochen O , van Ittersum Koert
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Socioeconomic disparities in the adoption of preventive health programs represent a well-known challenge, with programs delivered via the web serving as a potential solution. The preventive health program examined in this study is a large-scale, open-access web-based platform operating in the Netherlands, which aims to improve the health behaviors and wellness of its participants.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to examine the differences in the adoption of the website and mobile app of a web-based preventive health program across socioeconomic groups.

METHODS

The 83,466 participants in this longitudinal, nonexperimental study were individuals who had signed up for the health program between July 2012 and September 2019. The rate of program adoption per delivery means was estimated using the Prentice, Williams, and Peterson Gap–Time model, with the measure of neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES) used to distinguish between population segments with different socioeconomic characteristics. Registration to the health program was voluntary and free, and not within a controlled study setting, allowing the observation of the true rate of adoption.

RESULTS

The estimation results indicate that program adoption across socioeconomic groups varies depending on the program’s delivery means. For the website, higher NSES groups have a higher likelihood of program adoption compared with the lowest NSES group (hazard ratio 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.05). For the mobile app, the opposite holds: higher NSES groups have a lower likelihood of program adoption compared with the lowest NSES group (hazard ratio 0.94, 95% CI 0.91-0.97).

CONCLUSIONS

Promoting preventive health programs using mobile apps can help to increase program adoption among the lowest socioeconomic segments. Given the increasing use of mobile phones among disadvantaged population groups, structuring future health interventions to include mobile apps as means of delivery can support the stride toward diminishing health disparities.
Benefits of Life Skill Based Education for Neurodiverse Adults: An Integrative Review and Analysis
Authors: Ravichandren Niruruthi , O'Connor Autumn Niruruthi
Published: July 2021

An integrative review and analysis was conducted to assess the benefits of teaching Life Skill-Based Education (LSBE) to Neuro Divergent Ddults (ND) (i.e., adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or specific learning difficulties (SLD)). A systematic search of Google, Google Scholar, EBSCO host, and Cochrane Library databases were utilized with date ranging from 2000-2020. A total of 659 hits were obtained before duplicates were removed and inclusion/exclusion criteria, as well as conceptual perspective applied. In summation, 16 articles were thoroughly analysed to evaluate the efficacy of LSBE programs on improving the Quality of Life (QoL) of ND adults. Specifically, ones that cater to the Executive Functioning (EF) challenges often seen in this population, whilst using inclusive approaches. The findings did reveal high potential of LSBE programs to benefit ND adults, where general services currently lack. However, issues such a small sample size and lack of sample diversity limit generalizability of program benefits. Recommendations are to tackle global problems around inclusion and education, for ND adults, at its roots. Greater awareness of LSBE program should be emphasized worldwide, as benefits will likely ensue for all kinds of individuals/neurotypes. Overall, implications target change on a micro, meso and macro level.

Published: July 2021

Jammu and Kashmir is primarily an agrarian state. Around 80 percent of its population is engaged in this sector. The state has huge variation in its agro-climate diversity as Jammu region has a subtropical and Kashmir has temperate climate. These variations make it idyllic for performing varied cultivation. The present research paper is an attempt to analyze the variations in agricultural productivity of major crops at the district level in the Jammu division for the period 2010-11 to 2016-17. The results show tremendous variations in the productivity of the crop sector across districts. The districts of the Jammu region have depicted very low productivity and wide variations across the districts. The variations in the productivity level of the major crops of the Jammu region have been found mainly in the hilly areas like Kishtwar, Doda, Poonch and Reasi thus depicting wheat and maize as the staple food of these districts. These variations at district level has indicated the need for evolving specific strategies at the district level for ensuring sustainable and inclusive agricultural growth in a state consequently in the country.

Published: July 2021

In recent years, developments in the field of cosmetic ingredients especially use of natural sources and carriers systems and the manufacturing methods resulted as an improvement in the effect and stability of cosmetics, and thus the performance and component-based multi-functionalities of cosmetic products. Those have partially contributed to the condition-dependent functionality, developments in the field of marketing, monitoring of expectations and their reflection on marketing and the creation of new ideas in the field of claim-driven multi-functionality. Multi-functionality in cosmetic products can be evaluated in four groups. These are performance-based multi-functionality, component-based multi-functionality, conditional multi-functionality and claim-driven multi-functionality. In the first two groups, performance related to formulation and manufacturing comes to the fore, while in the last two, safety becomes important and those are briefly given in this review.

Partially Coherent Direct Sum Channels
Authors: Chessa Stefano , Giovannetti Vittorio
Published: July 2021

We introduce Partially Coherent Direct Sum (PCDS) quantum channels, as a generalization of the already known Direct Sum quantum channels. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions to identify the subset of those maps which are degradable, and provide a simplified expression for their quantum capacities. Interestingly, the special structure of PCDS allows us to extend the computation of the quantum capacity formula also for quantum channels which are explicitly not degradable (nor antidegradable). We show instances of applications of the results to dephasing channels, amplitude damping channels and combinations of the two.
The Implementation of The Open-Plan Concept In The Muslim Residential
Authors: Bakri Maysarah
Published: July 2021

Abstract: Muslims have to live based on Islamic values that include domestic activity in the dwelling. However, currently, people’s paradigm shifts towards modernism and also impacts the house’s preference. Architecturally, this condition is a challenge for the architect as there is a contradiction between Islamic and modern housing. One of the different principles is the closure in the Islamic dwelling and the exposure in the open-plan practice of modern residents. This research suggests how to practice the open-plan concept in Muslim residential without ignoring Islamic house principles. The research method is descriptive qualitative which the primary data is obtained through the literature review. The open-plan concept is analyzed through the principles of Islamic dwelling. The finding shows that a semi-public area of Islamic houses such as a living room or a dining room can implement the open-plan concept. The house resident uses these rooms without providing physical and visual access to non-mahram relatives, thus maintaining family privacy. The practice implications are increasing natural lighting and natural air, flexible space occupancy, and strengthening family bonding.Abstrak: Muslim harus menjalani kehidupan berdasarkan ajaran Islam, termasuk kegiatan domestik di hunian. Namun, saat ini paradigma masyarakat berubah ke arah modern dan berdampak pada preferensi hunian. Secara arsitektur, kondisi ini merupakan tantangan bagi arsitek karena terdapat kontradiksi antara hunian Islami dan modern. Salah satu perbedaan prinsipnya adalah aspek privasi pada rumah Islami dan keterbukaan dalam bentuk open-plan di hunian modern. Penelitian ini menyarankan bagaimana menerapkan konsep open-plan pada hunian Muslim tanpa mengabaikan prinsip-prinsip rumah Islami. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dimana data primer diperoleh melalui studi literatur. Konsep open-plan dianalisa dari perspektif prinsip hunian Islami. Hasil temuan mengindikasikan konsep open-plan hanya dapat diterapkan pada area semi-publik di hunian Islami seperti ruang keluarga dan ruang makan. Hal ini dikarenakan ruang-ruang ini hanya digunakan oleh penghuni rumah tanpa menyediakan akses fisik dan visual pada tamu/kerabat non-mahram sehingga tetap menjaga privasi keluarga. Dampak penerapan konsep ini pada zona semi-publik adalah meningkatnya cahaya alami dan sirkulasi udara pada area tersebut, fleksibilitas penggunaan ruang, dan menguatkan ikatan antar anggota keluarga.

Abstract: Curry Plant (Murraya koenigii (Linn.) Spreng) is one of the plants that thrive in Indonesia. Curry contains secondary metabolites of alkaloids and flavonoids that have the potential as antioxidants. Antioxidants can reduce the activity of free radicals that can cause degenerative diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease, and premature ageing of body cells by donating the protons to free radical compounds. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity and identify the active compound class of ethyl acetate fraction from curry leaves. Separation of secondary metabolites of ethyl acetate extracts was carried out by column chromatography method, which obtained 5 different fractions. The antioxidant activity of fractions A, B, C, D, and E was tested using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method with variations concentrations of 25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 ppm, and ascorbic acid was used as a comparison which measured at a wavelength of 517 nm. The results showed that fractions A and E have weak antioxidant activities, while fractions B, C, and D showed moderate antioxidant activities. The highest antioxidant activity was found in fraction B with an IC50 value of 341.38 ppm, where the fraction showed the presence of secondary metabolites of alkaloids and terpenoids.Abstrak: Tanaman kari ((Murraya koenigii (Linn.) Spreng) merupakan salah satu tanaman yang tersebar di Indonesia. Kari mengandung senyawa metabolit sekunder alkaloid dan flavonoid yang memiliki potensi sebagai antioksidan. Antioksidan dapat mengurangi aktivitas radikal bebas yang dapat menyebabkan penyakit degeneratif seperti kanker, penyakit jantung coroner dan penuaan sel dengan cara menyumbangkan proton pada senyawa radikal bebas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan aktivitas antioksidan dan mengidentifikasi kelas senyawa aktif fraksi etil asetat dari daun kari. Pemisahan metabolit sekunder dari ekstrak etil asetat dilakukan menggunakan metode kromatografi kolom dengan menghasilkan 5 fraksi yang berbeda. Aktivitas antioksidan dari fraksi A, B, C ,D ,dan E dilakukan menggunakan metode DPPH (1,1-diphenil-2-pikrilhydrazil) dengan variasi konsentrasi 25, 50, 100, 200, dan 400 ppm dan asam askorbat digunakan sebagai perbandingan yang diukur pada panjang gelombang 517 nm. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa fraksi A dan E memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang lemah, sedangkan fraksi B, C, dan D menunjukkan aktivitas antioksidan sedang. Aktivitas antioksidan yang paling tinggi ditemukan pada fraksi B dengan IC50 341,38 ppm. Fraksi tersebut menunjukkan adanya kandungan senyawa metabolit sekunder alkaloid dan terpenoid.

Abstract: Bagasse is a solid waste from the sugar cane milling process in the sugar industry. The waste can be used as an ingredient in making silica gel which functions as an adsorbent. This can be done by changing its chemical structure composition to increase its role and function. This study aims to determine the characteristics of silica gel synthesized from bagasse (Saccharumofficinarum L.) and modified using diphenylcarbazone as much as 0.24 g with sol-gel technique. The characterization results obtained from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis of diphenylcarbazone modified silica gel, namely the absorption of Si-OH, Si-O-Si groups supported by the appearance of C꞊O, C꞊N, NH, and N꞊N groups. Characterization using x-ray diffraction (XRD) showed a change in amorphous silica to crystals, with the results obtained showing a crystal size of 41.468 nm.Abstrak: Ampas tebu merupakan limbah padat yang berasal dari proses penggilingan tebu pada produksi gula.

Dayah, the Traditional Islamic Education System of Aceh 1900-2000
Authors: Roche Stephen
Published: July 2021

This article is an extract from my dissertation which offers a historiography of the Dayah, Acehâ€™s traditional institution of Islamic education and picks up at the point of Acehâ€™s history where its Dutch colonial experience began. The section presented here details some of the theological, philosophical and political factors that contributed to the development of the regions current variety of educational institutions. However, despite the effects of such historical and ongoing developments, that continue to inform the theological understanding and social concerns of Acehâ€™s ulama, the Dayah still manages to represent a distinct Muslim identity that express the richest cultural heritages of the region within an orthodox religious framework. Therefore, the Dayah of Aceh continues the traditional Islamic educational experience for the Muslims of the region despite the historical and ongoing influence of cultural, political and social developments.

Authors: Nadhiran Hedhri
Published: July 2021

This article aims to examine the Islamic legal thought developed by Hasbi Ash-Shieddieqy between purification and modernization. Studies show that Hasbi is consistently as a modernist. This conclusion is based on two cases that raised issues of worship, which is about the Friday prayers and zakat measurement. In understanding these two issues, Hasbi not solely used naqli (revealed) arguments, but also â€˜aqli (reason arguments).
Maslahah dalam Putusan Hakim Mahkamah Syar`iyah di Aceh tentang Perkara Harta Bersama
Authors: Zubaidi Zaiyad
Published: July 2021

Harta bersama merupakan harta yang diperoleh suami isteri selama dalam ikatan perkawinan. Keberadaannya dalam institusi keluarga merupakan suatu hal yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam kehidupan berumah tangga. Dalam rumah tangga yang harmonis, tidak ada persoalan berkaitan dengan harta bersama, namun ketika terjadinya keretakan rumah tangga, barulah muncul persoalan berkaitan dengan harta bersama. Dalam hal terjadinya persoalan, maka perkaranya dapat diselesaikan melalui proses ligitasi pada Mahkamah Syar`iyah. Persoalannya, dari 412 putusan hakim Mahkamah Syar`iyah di Aceh tentang harta bersama, semua putusannya didominasi dasar pertimbangan hakim pada ketentuan perundang-undangan tertulis yaitu Pasal 97 KHI, hampir tidak ditemukan putusan yang contra legem, padahal dalam Pasal 5 Undang-Undang Nomor 48 Tahun 2009 tentang Kekuasaan Kehakiman mengamanahkan bahwa hakim wajib menggali dan memahami nilai-nilai hukum yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Atas dasar itulah, artikel ini mengupas bagaimana pemenuhan aspek maslahah dalam putusan hakim tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif bersifat deskriptif dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif dan pertimbangan maslahah. Hasil penelitian bahwa untuk memenuhi aspek maslahah dalam putusan hakim Mahkamah Syar`iyah di Aceh, langkah yang dapat dilakukan oleh hakim adalah mempertimbangkan kembali adat masyarakat dalam pembagian harta bersama. Mengidentifikasi kandungan aspek maslahah secara sungguh-sungguh dalam setiap putusan. Menerapkan aspek maslahah secara konsisten dalam setiap pengambilan keputusan hukum dalam menyelesaikan perkara harta bersama, serta perlu keberanian hakim berijtihad dalam menyelesaikan perkara harta bersama.
