MODERNISASI DAN REFORMASI DALAM PEMBINAAN HUKUM ISLAM DAN PRANATA SOSIAL DI NEGARA ISLAM
Authors: Suhardin
Published: March 2023

Abstrak :This paper discusses the modernization and reform of the development of Islamic law and social institutions in Islamic countries as a comparative study of Indonesia and Malaysia. Islamic law revealed by Allah aims to prevent confusion in the community and bring benefit to them, directing them to truth, justice and wisdom and explaining the path that must be passed. In this case, it is based on five main priorities, namely maintaining religion, soul, mind, lineage and property, based on the al-Qur'an which is universal and dynamic. Thoughts on the development of Islamic law have long been studied by Western historians, especially those who have a tendency to justify the authenticity of Islamic law. Because the legal theme has a relationship with reality and the physical environment, it inevitably has to face challenges related to the facts of social change.
Meanwhile, modernism in Islam is a series of thoughts and schools of thought in ijtihad to think rationally and to change understandings or customs that must be adapted to developments and conditions that exist at this time, without leaving Islamic values. Therefore, opportunities are always open and must be carried out by taking into account the social implications of the application of the product of legal thought.
The Significance Of Foreign Manpower Use Via Government Regulation 34 Of 2021: A Case Study Of Siyasah Dauliyah
Authors: Sulaiman Sri Wahyuni
Published: March 2023

Foreign Workers are inextricably linked to problems and, as documented in the Makassar City Manpower Office's violation data, there are three things that are problematic. First, the Employer does not pay taxes. Second, the prohibition on the use of personnel positions. Thirdly, visa abuse. This is a field study utilizing a syar'i and sociological juridical approach. The study gathered data through primary sources, namely interviews, and secondary sources, namely the examination of legal materials and literature. The study's findings reveal that the usage of foreign workers leads in a high number of offenders in Makassar City, one of which is a lack of monitoring. This is due to the Pora Team's lack of firmness in dealing with field violations and factors from employers of foreign workers who do not comply with required requirements, one of which is avoiding required fees, which is permitted under the legal siyasah dauliyah as long as the service commodities traded do not contain harmful substances. with regard to QS. An-Nisa/4:29

Performing investigative identities: How print journalists establish authority through their texts
Authors: Wuergler Lena , Dubied Annik
Published: March 2023

Faced with an increasingly challenging environment, journalists and news organizations are looking to investigative journalism as a symbolic resource to assert their professionalism. However, while the literature recognizes a strong link between authority and professionalism on the one hand, and investigative journalism and professionalism on the other, it has overlooked how investigative journalism itself can be used to establish authority. This paper aims to fill this gap by exploring how investigative pieces contribute to the legitimization of journalists in French-speaking Switzerland. To answer this question, we conducted a thematic and discursive qualitative analysis of 186 investigative pieces to examine identity markers that present journalists as particularly legitimate knowledge producers. Our findings show how print journalists perform an investigative identity throughout their texts. This includes playing a watchdog role, demonstrating an “investigative mindset,” claiming specialized skills, and / or highlighting their thorough verification procedure. By employing these strategies, investigative journalists seek recognition based on their social role, their individual traits, their specialized skills, and / or their incontrovertible knowledge claims. We analyze these four identity markers as strategic devices for claiming special authority within the journalistic profession.
Antibody response over time correlated with treatment outcome in 30 dogs naturally infected with Brucella canis (2017–2022)
Authors: Guarino Cassandra , Franklin-Guild Rebecca , Goodrich Erin , Conklin Rachel , Frye Elisha , Pinn-Woodcock Toby
Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

Brucella canis is a zoonotic bacterial pathogen of dogs that is notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat. Humans can become infected with B canis when an infected pet dog is brought into their home. Our objectives were to describe the clinical presentation and outcomes in dogs treated for B canis and evaluate the performance of the quantitative serologic canine Brucella multiplex (CBM) assay for monitoring treatment response.

ANIMALS

Diagnostic records from the Animal Health Diagnostic Center at Cornell University were retrospectively reviewed (2017–2022) for dogs that underwent repeat B canis serologic testing. Medical records were requested to compare the clinical presentations and outcomes for dogs that underwent treatment for B canis. Changes in CBM antibody values were compared between dogs with and without resolution of clinical signs.

RESULTS

While treatment protocols varied in the 30 treated dogs meeting the inclusion criteria, poly-antimicrobial therapy was prescribed in 97% (29/30) of cases. Gait abnormalities, spinal pain, and discospondylitis were the most common clinical abnormalities. A difference (P value = .0075) in the percent decrease in CBM assay PO1 antibody values was found in dogs with resolved clinical signs.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Young dogs presenting with recurring lameness or back pain should be screened for B canis infection. A 40% decline in CBM assay values 2 to 6 months posttreatment can be supportive of response to treatment. Further prospective studies are needed to determine the ideal B canis treatment regimen and the magnitude of public health risks associated with maintaining neutered B canis-infected animals as pets.

Die Weinrebe stellt ein natürliches Reservoir ansässiger mikrobieller Ressourcen dar, die in ein komplexes Mikroökosystem eingebettet ist. Ziel dieser Studie war herauszufinden, welche Keime sich im Blutungssaft befinden. Die Gewinnung des Blutungssaftes erfolgte mittels einer sauberen, mit Alkohol desinfizierten PET-Flasche. Nach erfolgter Anreicherung wurde die DNA-Extraktion mit anschließender NGS-Analyse mit der Zielregion V1V3 untersucht und die erhaltenen Sequenzen mit der NCBI-Datenbank abgeglichen. Die dominantesten Gattungen in den Rebstöcken waren Pseudomonas und Massilia, gefolgt von den Gattungen Zoogloea, Bacillus, Idonella, Sphingomonas und Paenibacillus. Zusätzlich konnte der hefeähnliche Mikroorganismus Aureobasidium pullulans bei zwei Rebstöcken bestimmt werden sowie wenige andere Bakteriengattungen, die vereinzelt auftreten. Die literarisch beschriebene hemmende Interaktion zwischen Pseudomonas und Aureobasidium konnte auch in unserer Studie bestätigt werden. Alle im Blutungssaft bestimmten Mikroorganismen haben generell einen pflanzenstärkenden Einfluss und stellen eine Basis für eine Besiedlung in gewebespezifische Pflanzenteile dar.

Authors: Amiri Bonab Mohammad , Reza Atighi Mohammad , Pedram Majid
Published: March 2023

A population of Deladenus, representing a new species, was recovered from Bonab’s Ghara-Gheshlagh lagoon. It is mainly characterized by having a long body (1051–1185 μm), long distance of anterior end to pharyngeal glands end (270–312 μm), six lines in lateral fields, and a short mucro-like differentiation on the tail tip. Furthermore, it has a small-sized stylet (8.5–11.0 μm) with three knobs, no postvulval uterine sac, and males with 24- to 28-μm-long tylenchoid spicules and penial tube. With six lateral lines, the new species is comparable with seven species of the genus: D. apopkaetus, D. brevis, D. cocophilus, D. durus, D. obtusicaudatus, D. processus, and D. ulani. It was furthermore compared with D. oryzae with an unknown number of lateral lines and D. aridus, D. obesus, and D. parvus having a different number of lateral lines but similar morphology. In the molecular phylogenic analyses using small and large subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU and LSU D2-D3 rDNA) sequences, the relationships of the new species with other species and genera were not resolved in SSU phylogeny. However, it formed a clade with Deladenus sp. and D. brevis in LSU phylogeny.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread across the world, has made an impact on every student’s ordinary life and mental health, from studying conditions, internship, employment to freedom of movement. This was a cross-sectional study where Latvian university and college students were asked to fill the self-report online questionnaire developed as part of an international study. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic and investigate clinical depression, distress and identify the predicting factors. Depression and distress were determined using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) with a previously developed algorithm and cut-off scores. The statistical analysis included the Pearson’s chi-square test and binomial logistic regression. The study included 1047 students. The prevalence of distress was 18% (n =188) and prevalence of depression was 33.8% (n = 354). Depression was more common among women — 35.9 % (n = 298). Risk factors for depression were poor quality of sleep (OR = 8.31), unemployment (OR = 1.42), excessive internet usage (OR = 7.17), thoughts about death (OR = 12.14), and suicidal behaviour (OR = 4.99). Physical activities operated as a protective measure to prevent depression. This study potentially could help to develop a plan in the future for dealing with psychological support for the student population.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh ekstrak kayu secang (Caesalpinia Sappan Linn) terhadap gambaran spermatogenesis dan kadar reactive oxygen species (ROS) eritrosit mencit jantan pasca paparan asap rokok konvensional. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari kontrol (P0) dan tiga perlakuan yaitu pemberian ekstrak kayu secang (P1)= Pemaparan asap rokok sebanyak 2 batang, (P2)= Pemaparan asap rokok 2 batang dan pemberian ekstrak kayu secang dosis 30mg/BB mencit/hari, (P3) = Pemaparan asap rokok 2 batang dan pemberian ekstrak kayu secang dosis 60mg/BB mencit/hari. Hewan coba yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah mencit jantan, dewasa berumur 6 bulan dan berat badan antara 20-40g yang berjumlah 24 ekor. Analisis data untuk jumlah sel spermatogonium, spermatosit, spermatid dan kadar ROS eritrosit dianalisis menggunakan sidik ragam jika ditemukan perubahan yang signifikan akan dilanjutkan uji Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak kayu secang mampu menurunkan kadar ROS pada eritrosit mencit jantan pasca paparan asap rokok konvensional, namun secara statistik belum berpengaruh secara signifikan (P>0,05). Kesimpulan pemberian ekstrak kayu secang dengan dosis 60mg/ BB mencit/hari memberi pengaruh yang lebih efektif terhadap gambaran spermatogenesis mencit jantan pasca paparan asap rokok konvensional dibandingkan dosis 30mg/BB mencit/hari. Saran Perlu dilakukan pengujian lebih lanjut terhadap kadar ROS pada organ testis mencit yang dipapari asap rokok konvensional dan secara ilmiah, perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengetahui efek ekstrak kayu secang terhadap ROS atau jalur molekuler lainnya untuk mengetahui secara pasti mekanisme kerjanya.

Sebagian besar masyarakat belum memahami bahwa dalam pelayanan publik terdapat hak masyarakat untuk menyampaikan keluhan atau masukan atas pelayanan yang diterima. Pengaduan warga dimaknai sebagai salah satu tindakan konkret dari partisipasi, maka penggunaan CRM (Citizen Relation Management) dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memastikan bahwa partisipasi warga tidak sia-sia. Sebagai upaya menyempurnakan aplikasi CROP (Cepat Respon Opini Publik), Pemprov DKI Jakarta mengembangkan aplikasi Citizen Relation Management yang disingkat menjadi CRM. Seperti halnya CROP, Aplikasi tersebut digunakan untuk mеnаmpung dаn mеnіndаklаnjutі lаpоrаn wаrgа ѕеrtа mеmbаntu dіnаѕ dаn kеlurаhаn аgаr dаpаt bеrkооrdіnаѕі serta mеnyеlеѕаіkаn lаpоrаn wаrgа. Pеrmаѕаlаhаn yаng dіlаpоrkаn mеlаluі аplіkаѕі CRM dіаntаrаnyа аdаlаh sampah, kеmаcеtаn, pаrkіr lіаr, pеlаnggаrаn, ѕаrаnа prasarana, lalu lіntаѕ, kerusakan infrastruktur jalan dan lain lain. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, dimana penelitian menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi berupa data data yang diberikan. Dari penelitian dan analisis yang dilakukan,  dapat disimpulkan bahwa penanganan pengaduan melalui aplikasi CRM terlihat dari 6 Indikator yaitu 1) efektivitas, aplikasi CRM sudah efektif, dilihat tidak ada kendala yang signifikan dalam segi target yang ditentukan sudah tercapai, 2) efisiensi, sudah efisien, dengan tidak adanya masalah signifikan dan usaha yang ditempuh dalam mengelola pengaduan sudah baik seperti upaya sosialisasi yang dilakukan kepada masyarakat serta danya Monitoring Room Officer dalam memjembatani laporan yang belum dikerjakan, 3)  kecukupan, dalam segi kecukupan usaha dan segi pengawasan sudah cukup tepat, namun perlu di tingkatkan kualitas tindak lanjut laporan supaya sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan oleh masyarakat. 4) perataan, perataan ada yang sudah baik dalam segi perataan penggunaan oleh petugas namun dalam perataan penggunaan kanal offline masih kurang, perlu ditingkatkan upaya sosialisasi yang tepat dalam menjangkau pengaduan offline 5) responsivitas belum baik , perlu adanya perbaikan paradigma yang masih terjadi oleh petugas pelaksana bahwa CRM ini akan lebih memudahkan dan transparan  dan 6) ketepatan, Dibangunnya aplikasi CRM ini sudah sangat tepat untuk tindak lanjut laporan dari masyarakat, dari segi kegunaan dapat memudahkan kinerja tiap kelurahan dan dinas.

UTVRĐIVANjE RASA PASA I MAČAKA UPOTREBOM KONVOLUCIONIH NEURONSKIH MREŽA
Authors: Nikolić Petar
Published: March 2023

U radu su predložena dva pristupa rešavanju problema utvrđivanja rase pasa i mačaka na slikama. Prvi pristup predstavlja klasifikaciju u jednom koraku u kojem se utvrđuje rasa životinje bez prethodnog utvrđivanja njene vrste. U drugom pristupu, rasa se utvrđuje u dva koraka – u prvom se određuje vrsta životinje, dok se u drugom slika prosleđuje specijalizovanom klasifikatoru koji utvrđuje rasu u okviru prethodno utvrđene vrste. Implementacija oba pristupa zasniva se na upotrebi konvolucionih neuronskih mreža, kao i tehnike augmentacije podataka. Dodatno, kod oba pristupa ispitan je i uticaj primene tehnike aktivnog učenja.

GENERISANJE TEKSTUALNOG OPISA SLIKE POMOĆU MAŠINSKOG UČENJA
Authors: Činčurak Ivan
Published: March 2023

Automatsko opisivanje slike je postalo atraktivna tema u poslednjih nekoliko godina. Postoji velika potreba mašinskog opisivanja situacija u automobilskoj industriji. Google Image pretraga bi takođe mogla biti poboljšana. Takođe, moguće bi bilo unaprediti nadzorne kamere uklanjanjem potrebe za postojanje osobe koja bi konstantno morala da nadgleda kamere i čeka da se određena situacija desi, umesto da pogleda samo kada je opis slike na videu približan nekom unapred definisanom skupu tekstova. U ovom radu isprobana su tri načina za automatsko generisanje opisa slike. Prvi je primenom enkoder-dekoder arhitekture sa mehanizmom pažnje, drugi je bez ovog mehanizma, dok je treći upotrebom rekurentnih neuronskih mreža. Rešenje je evaluirano metrikama BLeU, ROUGE i Doc2Vec. Modeli su trenirani i testirani na MSCOCO skupu podataka. Dodatno, model je testiran  podacima scrape-ovanim sa Google Images pretrage.

Од великог значаја за компаније је да имају увид у ставове и мишљења како свог колектива, тако и оних из других фирми. Са друге стране, онима који траже посао овакве информације помажу да открију предности и слабости компанија које их интересују. У овом раду креиран је скуп података о српским ИТ фирмама користећи рецензије запослених, бивших запослених и кандидата, као и осталим информацијама са сајта Joberty.rs. Извршене анализе над овим скупом подељене су у три задатка. У првом задатку су одређени најзначајнији аспекти компаније уз посматрање овог задатка као регресионог проблема са просечном оценом компаније као циљном лабелом. Резултати указују на то да су аспекти као што су флексибилност и однос послодавца према запосленима значајнији у односу на коришћене технологије и плату. Извршена је анализа сентимента коментара који се тичу процеса селекције употребом БЕРТ модела. Закључено је да HR и технички интервју имају подједнак утицај на формирање утиска о процесу селекције. Коришћењем модела насумичних шума истрениран је модел који врши предикцију процента запослених који сматрају да је плата фер, на основу оцена бенефита које компанија нуди. Постигнут је резултат од 0.1 у контексту метрике MSE. Над истренираним моделом је одрађена анализа важности улазних обележја.

A scientific study has been performed in this research work on the basis of experimental results and ramification to divulge the advancement of second phase particles and its influence on ferrite and austenite phase transformation in less carbon-manganese added steel. Two steels have been engaged in this competition with and without aluminum addition along with nitrogen. To fade out the already present particles, as received steel under investigation was solution heat treated at 1200°C and then both the steel samples were heat treated at 750°C and 810°C for 15, 20, 35, and 70 sec incubation time in the cyanide added liquid bath furnace and were rapidly cooled from elevated temperature at room temperature in ordinary water. Metallography was performed after etching technique in two etchant solutions microstructural features with advanced Olympus optical microscope with polarized light. To further enlarge the important microstructure SEM was used to capture the micrographs. It was concluded that aluminum combine with nitrogen stimulate the fine aluminum nitride (AlN) particles and these particles were the major source to hinder the grain boundary mobility and consequently phase transformation was interrupted in aluminum added steel and it lowers the critical temperatures. Surprisingly there was no such attitude was observed in without aluminum added steel.
