The schools of thought from Asy'ariyah, Salafiyyah, Wahabiyyah have different but still continuous backgrounds. Therefore, this discussion is to provide an explanation of where the differences lie. The aim of this research is to use the Library Research method by utilizing data and literature in this writing. Ash'ariyah ideology emerged because of differences in Hasan Al-Ash'ari's understanding of the Mu'tazilah school which became a mandatory understanding of society at that time because it was supported by the Caliphate, he used a middle method, namely sticking to the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah but not ignoring it. Sense. The Salafi ideology developed by Ibn Hambal prioritizes the Qur'an and prioritizes the companions of the prophet or Salafus Salih and puts reason aside. Meanwhile, Wahhabiyah claims that faith, knowledge, deeds and worship according to their version are true, beyond their understanding they are called infidels.

Authors: ACAR KARABOĞA Mürüvet , ŞARKGÜNEŞİ Aykut , KARTAL Cem
Published: December 2023

Ülkeler arasındaki doğrudan yabancı yatırım (DYY) ve yabancı portföy yatırımı (YPY) eşitsizliğindeki heterojenliğin finansal gelişmedeki farklılıklara katkıda bulunduğu görülmektedir. Ancak, sermaye akışlarının hangi nedensel mekanizmalar aracılığıyla kesin işleyişi her zaman açıkça dile getirilmemiştir (Kohler, 2022: 1511). DYY ve YPY, farklı kurumlara sahip farklı coğrafi birimlerin sakinleri arasında gerçekleştirilen finansal işlemlerdir. Sermayenin doğası gereği herhangi bir mekâna ait olması ve kurumsal bir kimliğe sahip olması göz önünde bulundurulduğunda kurumsal ekonomik coğrafya yaklaşımı uluslararası sermaye hareketlerinin değerlendirilmesinde verimli bir hareket noktasını oluşturacaktır. Kurumsal ekonomik coğrafya; DYY ve YPY eşitsiz gelişme süreçleri arasındaki sistematik ilişkiyi, küresel-yerel dinamiklere uygun resmi ve gayrı resmi kurumsal çerçevede, mekânsal ekonomik etkileşimle oluşarak gelişen piyasalarla birlikte analiz ederek değerlendirecektir. Literatüre bakıldığı zaman, uluslararası sermaye hareketlerinin türleri, nedenleri, sonuçları belirleyicileri ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi, gelişimi gibi konuların çalışılmış olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak, uluslararası sermaye hareketlerinin tahminlenmesine ya da sermaye hareketlerinin nedenlerinin farklı olmasına sebep olan güdülerin neler olduğuna dair herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu çalışma eşit olmayan mekânsal kalkınmayı, kurumsal ekonomik coğrafya yaklaşımı ile açıklamaya çalışırken aynı zamanda uluslararası sermaye hareketlerinin uzun vadeli dinamiğini anlamamıza da yardımcı olacaktır. Söz konusu çalışmada asimetrik uluslararası sermaye dağılımını kurumsal ekonomik coğrafya perspektifinde değerlendirmek için 2006-2020 yılları arasını kapsayan 20 ülkenin uzun dönemli sermaye hareketlerinden, doğrudan yabancı yatırım ve yabancı portföy yatırımı verileri kullanılarak panel veri analizi uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada Swamy-S Homojenlik testi ile serilerin heterojen olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonrasında yatay kesit bağımlılığı ve birim kök testleri incelenmiş ve eş bütünleşme testi olarak Westerlund (2007) kullanılarak yapılan test sonucunda değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli ilişkinin varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Panel DMOLS testi ile sınanarak tespit edilen uzun dönem eş bütünleşme ilişkisinin katsayıları tahmin edilmiştir. Hata düzeltme modeli, Bond ve Eberhardt (2009) ile Bernhard ve Teal (2010) tarafından geliştirilmiş genişletilmiş ortalama grup (AMG) tahmincisi ile tahmin edilmiş ve tahmin sonuçlarına göre her ülke için, bağımsız değişkenlerin bağımlı değişken üzerindeki etkisinin farklı olduğu saptanmıştır.

Authors: Guo Ying , He Tian , Nie Ping , Zhang Ru
Published: December 2023

Introduction: As China has increasingly ushered in the era of mass tourism, ancient city or town tourism has gained popularity across the country, and a significant number of new scenic spots in ancient towns have been constructed. However, these lovely spots typically rely on conventional tourist and catering. Many tourists focus more on the issue of how to study old cities’ cultural ambiance and internal features on a deeper level, as well as the depth of its connotations. This paper examined the language landscape creation of the Yizhou Ancient City in Linyi, China, to delve into the language landscape building of newly built ancient town tourist attractions.
Methodology: The data collection stage was mainly completed through field investigation, using digital cameras to shoot various language signs in the scenic spot. The data statistics stage mainly included random interviews, research objective determination, and data statistical analysis.
Results: The results showed that the language signs in the scenic spot were mainly monolingual, supplemented by bilingual signs. There were two languages, Chinese and English, in which Chinese was the priority code, while English was a marginalized code in the language landscape of the scenic spot. The management department of scenic spots played a decisive role in constructing language landscapes. However, the managers of scenic spots and shop operators had not yet realized the economic value of language landscapes. The language landscape of Yizhou ancient City has the following problems: insufficient construction of a diversified language landscape, weak design sense of language landscape, lack of cultural connotation of language landscape, lack of innovation of language landscape construction and so on.
Conclusion: It is suggested that the scenic spot management department should pay attention to different aspects in the future. They should pay attention to the potential value of language landscape construction, the unique linguistic landscape brand of the scenic spot should be constructed, and the multi-language needs of tourists.

The aim of this study was to determine the average daily water consumption, daily faeces and faecal dry matter content in relation to body weight in Turkish geese. For this purpose, 24 adult male geese aged 48 weeks were used. The geese were weighed in terms of live weight at the beginning of the experiment and divided into 3 groups as low (3124 - 3864 grams), medium (3865 - 4160 grams) and high (4161 - 4780 grams). Data were taken from the geese for 24 hours one day every week for 4 weeks. Within 24 hours, water consumption and the amount of faeces produced by male geese fed with 200 g feed were determined. Faecal dry matter content was also determined. In the study, the amount of daily faeces did not differ according to the live weight groups and the average faeces amount was determined as 237.83 grams. Again, there was no difference in the amount of water consumed according to body weight, and an average water consumption of 600 ml was determined. The average faecal dry matter content was found to be 78.19%. The results of the study showed that daily water consumption was 3 times the average amount of feed consumed.

Authors: Franssen R. Adam , Franssen Catherine , Hennings Maxwell A
Published: December 2023

With nationwide demand for neuroscience programs increasing, faculty and administrators at a public institution with a liberal artscurriculum sought to develop a distinctive program building on existing strengths that would best fit our primarily undergraduate population. The creation of an interdisciplinary Neuroscience Studies minor was the result of collaborations with university stakeholders. Students taking Longwood University’s Neuroscience Studies minor are trained to incorporate neuroscience into their areas of interest. Students take three core courses in neuroscience, including an introductory course, laboratory course, and interdisciplinary capstone experience. Additionally, students select three neuroscience-related courses from their major discipline. To gain broad support, the program was intentionally designed to support the university’s mission, academic strategic plan, and several key university initiatives. Importantly for our smaller institution, the minorwas implemented using existing university faculty, university resources, and a single hire. Since starting in 2015, the minor has quickly become the third largest on campus with increasing popularity among honors students. Program graduates have applied their training to careers paths as neuroscience Ph.D. candidates, master’s degrees in a range of fields such as counseling, speech pathology, nursing, education, and neuropsychology, and others have benefited upon entering the workforce. Longwood’s success developing an interdisciplinary Neuroscience Studies minor represents a blueprint for smaller institutions with limited resources, to provide students with an opportunity to learn about neuroscience and prepare for the future job market.

Authors: Rathnayake Kanishka Tharindu , Sharmilan Tharaga
Published: December 2023

The global surge in population, surpassing environmental carrying capacity, poses challenges in ensuring food security, especially in densely populated urban areas. As the demand for food is projected to increase by 60% by 2050, innovative solutions are sought to address constraints like limited land, time, and motivation for traditional agriculture. The study explores hydroponics, a soilless farming method, as a viable solution to enhance food production in confined spaces. Hydroponics involves cultivating plants directly in nutrient-rich water, presenting an efficient and space-saving alternative. The paper details various hydroponic techniques, including Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), Deepwater Culture, and Aeroponics, illustrating their structures and advantages. However, implementing hydroponics in urban settings faces challenges related to time constraints and limited farming knowledge among residents. To address these challenges, the study introduces an innovative PLC-controlled system for hydroponic farming with automated features. The system precisely regulates environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, water pH, and light intensity through algorithms. Leveraging cloud technology, users can remotely monitor and control the system, ensuring optimal plant growth. An integrated alarm system provides timely alerts, reducing the need for constant physical inspections. The methodology outlines the development stages of the monitoring system, emphasizing the selection of sensors, PLC programming, and integration with the cloud platform. Results indicate successful implementation, with the hydroponic system demonstrating effective communication with the cloud and optimal growth conditions for lettuce. The study concludes with future perspectives, suggesting improvements such as renewable power integration and advanced monitoring features. The proposed automated hydroponic system aims to make urban farming more accessible and manageable, contributing to sustainable and efficient food production.
Pemberlakuan Fiqih Keluarga Bagi Minoritas Muslim: Masalah Keabsahan Perkawinan Poligami di Australia dan Thailand
Authors: Anwar Ahmad Faridz
Published: December 2023

In countries with a Muslim majority, the application of Family Fiqh often does not pose a problem, as the majority of the society adheres to and comprehends the principles set forth in Islamic teachings. However, in countries with a non-Muslim majority, such as Australia and Thailand, minority Muslims are often confronted with challenges in applying the Family Fiqh principles they adhere to. One of the arising issues is the validity of polygamous marriages. This study focuses on the validity of polygamous marriages in Australia and Thailand. The research method deemed suitable for this composition is a descriptive qualitative approach. In Australia and Thailand, polygamy is prohibited under national law in those countries. Therefore, Muslim minorities in those countries must comprehend the national legal regulations prior to entering into polygamous marriages and consider the legal implications of such decisions.

Authors: Sathyanarayanaiah Kuruvadi , Castillo Gutiérrez Antonio , Almaguer Sierra M. Guadalupe , Molina Ochoa Jaime
Published: December 2023

En esta investigación se evaluaron 13 genotipos de frijol con una gran variabilidad para diferentes características agronómicas y componentes del rendimiento, bajo un diseño factorial completamente al azar con dos repeticiones en dos ambientes, riego y temporal, con el objetivo de estudiar la variabilidad de la frecuencia, longitud y ancho estomatal en ambos lados de la hoja, y estu- diar los parámetros genéticos. 

El análisis de varianza mostró diferencias significativas para la densidad, longitud y ancho de estomas bajo riego y temporal en ambos lados de la hoja, revelando una variabilidad considerable para estos rasgos en los recursos genéticos incluidos. La variación para la densidad de estomas en el haz fue de 366.7 a 897.1 por cm2, con un promedio de 565.6, mientras que este rango fue de 1 263.0 a 4 237.4, con un promedio de 2 670.3 por cm2 en el envés de la hoja del mismo ambiente de riego. Bajo temporal este mismo carácter varió de 325.9 a 1 711.2 y de 1 589.0 a 5 296.7 por cm2 en el haz y envés de la hoja respectivamente. Se identificaron cuatro variedades 3-M-3-1M, Pinto Nacional Criollo, Ojo de Cabra y Chiapas, con menor densidad de estomas, considerando ambos ambientes y lados de la hoja. El ambiente bajo temporal superó en un 49.1 y 18.8% la frecuencia de estomas del haz y envés respectivamente al de riego. Para longitud, las variedades Chiapas, Bayomex x FM90, Ojo de Cabra y Bayo Zacatecas, y para anchura Pinto Nacional, Bayo Madero y Flor de Mayo, fueron identificadas con valores menores. Estos genotipos de poca densidad, menor longitud y ancho de estomas, podrían reducir la tasa de transpiración, por lo que pueden ser utilizados como progenitores en el programa de hibridación para desarrollar variedades resistentes a sequía en frijol. La heredabilidad en sentido amplio para la densidad del haz y envés, fue de 59.33 y 63.38% respectivamente.

Para estimar los componentes florísticos y químicos y consumo de la dieta de cabras apacentando en una comunidad de matorral micrófilo del Desierto de Chihuahua, se trabajó durante las épocas de otoño, primavera y principios de verano; se emplearon animales fistulados del esófago para muestrear el forraje y animales intactos para realizar colección total de heces. La composición botánica de la dieta se determinó por microhistología; la digestibilidad, por procedimiento in vitro; y el consumo, por la relación entre excreción fecal del constituyente de interés y su indigestibilidad. Considerando el orden mencionado de las épocas, los componentes florísticos de la dieta no mostraron ninguna tendencia (P > .05) y los promedios generales fueron 93+4% de arbustivas, 4+4% de cactáceas, 2+1% de gramíneas y 1+1% de herbáceas; la proteína cruda de la dieta tuvo un promedio sobre épocas de 12.6%; la lignina presentó una tendencia cuadrática negativa y la digestibilidad in vitro de la materia orgánica decreció linealmente de 48 a 45%; los consumos de materia orgánica y proteína cruda también decrecieron linealmente de 75 a 43 y de 12 a 7 g/d (kg peso vivo) respectivamente. La digestibilidad de la materia orgánica y, por lo tanto, los consumos observados, fueron inferiores a los esperados, lo cual, al igual que la composición botánica de la dieta, pueden explicarse en atención al forraje disponible, que a su vez es función de la precipitación pluvial.
Infiltración y producción de sedimentos en un área reforestada con Pinus halepensis Mill
Authors: Gutiérrez Castillo Julián , de Luna Romero Manuel
Published: December 2023

El uso indiscriminado de los recursos naturales del país ha causado que disminuya considerablemente la cobertura vegetal, lo cual ha provocado la reducción de la infiltración y un incremento de las pérdidas de suelo. En algunos casos, se ha mencionado que una de las mejores formas para restaurar esos procesos es la reforestación; en base a lo anterior, el objetivo del presente estudio consistió en determinar las tasas de infiltración y la producción de sedimentos en cinco sitios con diferente edad de plantación. Para cumplir tal objetivo se utilizó un simulador de lluvias para aplicar 12 cm. de lluvia sobre parce- las de 1 m2, con el fin de estimar las tasas de infiltración, la concentración y la producción total de sedimentos. Los datos fueron analizados en un diseño completamente al azar y con el uso de la prueba de medias de Tukey. Los resultados muestrales señalan que, aunque las mejores infiltraciones y la menor pérdida de suelo se encontraron en el área reforestada de mayor edad, tanto la infiltración como la producción de sedimentos no presentan relación con la edad de la plantación debido a que los sedimentos fueron estimados en los espacios entre el arbolado; los mismos resultados señalan que la cubierta del suelo y el porcentaje de suelo desnudo son los factores que determinan los procesos en estudio.

En los tres casos se observó una reducción considerable de paño en los tratamientos con 30 a 60 ppm.
Agronomic inputs for higher productivity of mustard (Brassica juncea) in Rapti diara of eastern Uttar Pradesh
Authors: N. B. SINGH  , K. K. VERMA
Published: December 2023

A field experiment was conducted during the winter seasons of 1988-89 and 1989-90 to study the effect of various agronomic inputs on the productivity of Varuna mustard [Brmsica juncea (L.) Czernj. & Cosson] of Rapti Diara in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Maximum seed yield was obtained where irrigation, fertilizer and plant-protection measures were given during both the years. Fertilizer alone proved its superiority to irrigation and plant-protection measures tested alone. Further, irrigation alone was found to be significantly superior to the plar.:-protection measures in increasing the seed yield. Similar pattern was observed in case of all yield attributes too.

Published: December 2023

A field experiment was conducted during the wet seasons of 1989 and 1991 to study the effect of method of seeding and level of nitrogen on yield and yield attributes of rice (Otyza sativa L.). Drilling in lines before flood and transplanting of aged seedling after receed of flood resulted in significantly higher grain yield than broadcast method before flood in both the years. Application of 60 kg Niha . was on a par with 40 kg Niha but resulted in significantly higher grain yield than 20 kg Niha and the control. Grain yield obtained by drilling in lines and transplanting with 40 kg Niha was equivalent to the yield obtained in broadcast method with 60 kg Niha. The optimum economic doses of N were 38.20.37.74 and 37.86 kg Niha for broadcasting, drilling in lines and transplanting method of seeding respectively.

A field experimsl~t conducted during the winter (rub0 seasons of 1988-89 and 1989-90 to study the effect of stubble height of subabul [Leucaena leucoceplmla (Lam.) de Wit.] on growth and yield of companion crop of sunflower (Helianthus mmuus L.) under rainfed condition at Bijapur. Significantly higher yield of sunflower was obtained with subabul cut close to ground level (1 1.45 and 9.56 q~ha) than 30 cm (10.43 and 8.68 qha) and 60 cm (8.42 and 6.92 qha) during 1988-89and 1989-90 respectively. A significant yield reduction of sunflower was observed till 27 m distance from the subabul-live bund. The highest net income was recorded with the subabul cut at 30 cm stubble height (Rs 5,468 and 4,314ha during 1988-89 and 1989-90 respectively). Reduction in the yield was attributed to conlpetition for laoisture, nutrient and light interception close to subabrtl-hedge row.

El síndrome de estrés tibial medial es una de las formas más comunes de dolor de pierna inducido por el ejercicio, a pesar de ello, aun no existe consenso para el manejo clínico. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir el estado actual del diagnóstico y tratamiento de síndrome de estrés tibial medial en deportistas. La búsqueda de artículos fue realizada en las bases PubMed, LILACs y Cochrane desde Mayo 2016 hasta Mayo de 2022. A pesar de que se han descrito números factores de riesgo, la etiología aún no está completamente establecida. El diagnóstico se basa en la historia y exploración física con una alta fiabilidad, pero se debe tener en cuenta el diagnóstico diferencial por la alta frecuencia de lesiones asociadas. Hay múltiples tratamientos descritos que incluyen modificación de la actividad, terapia física, reentrenamiento de la carrera, ortesis, nutrición para la rehabilitación, ondas de choque, proloterapia y entrenamiento neuromuscular. A pesar de varios resultados prometedores, ninguno de estos tratamientos se sustenta en evidencia científica sólida.

Salivary gland neoplasms are usually uncommon and range from 2% to 6.5% of tumors that affect the head and neck region. It is possible to say that the approach to this topic is challenging, since they have a low incidence, creating determining factors for the execution of the retrospective study, such as the place of incidence, the histological type and the form of treatment. However, due to advances in laboratory techniques, it was possible to record new categories of lesions, which promoted heterogeneity and updates to the 4th WHO classification on salivary gland tumors. This fact makes it possible to adapt the best clinical management for the treatment of these lesions. The objective of the present research was to verify the epidemiological profile of benign lesions of the major and minor salivary glands through epidemiological studies obtained in the survey and the epidemiology of the national and world literature.
