Fokus penelitian ini mengkaji resolusi maqasid syariah terhadap penanggulangan virus Covid-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan metodependekatan diskriktif kualitatif menjadikan teori maqasid syariah sebagai grand teori untuk menganalisis penganggulangan virus Covid-19. Fenomena pada masyarakat yang berpandangan bahwa virus Corona membuat anjuran agama ditinggaalkan, seperti halnya salat jumat, pengajian, silaturrahim, pendidikan diluburkan dan lain-lainnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pandangan maqasid syariah terhadap penanggulangan virus Corona melihat aspek kemaslahatan. Meninggalkan sesuatu yang maslahat yang dapat menimbulkan mafsadat adalah tuntutan dalam teori maqasid syariah. Sehingga teori mawasid syariah memberikan kemudahan dalam menjalankan agama dengan tidak membahayakan lima prinsip prioritas manusia, yaitu; menjaga agama, jiwa keturunan, akal, dan harta. Jika keli hal ini terjaga dengan baik maka manusia akan bahagia dunia dan akhirat.

Abstract

In reconstructing the method of study of the Koran a person must have the ability of Arabic language and literary science as well as an appropriate and qualified methodology to be able to make understanding correctly more in answering social problems. In this context the role of the linguistic approach becomes important in interpreting social verses, both of which are very important in understanding the Qur'an. In understanding the Qur'an to answer social problems, it cannot be separated from one's understanding of the textuality of the verse and the context of social events. that happened at that time. That is why Amin al-Khûlî usesAl Qur'an study methods on social problems with a linguistic approach model

PDS AND GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES FOR PROTECTION AGAINST COVID-19
Authors: Patil Minal , Brahmbhatt Mamta
Published: November 2020

In his famous novel, The Plague, Albert Camus discussed the idea of plague as being akin to a despotic rule under which everyone, starting from the warden to the humblest delinquent, was under a life sentence. This insight is true for any pandemic including COVID–19 because the infection spreading microbe infects both rich and poor
people alike. The magnitude of COVID-19 pandemic was surely unprecedented in the early phase of the outbreak. The whole world was uncertain about how this once in a century pandemic was going to shape lives. The main duty of any government is to protect its citizens. When citizens are filled with uncertainty they look up to the
government, hoping that they will get absolute clarity and protection from the government. This was exactly the case when COVID-19 outbreak began in India. The government had to live up to its pledge of protecting the nation of 1.3 billion population. The crisis has also highlighted the importance of state and local governments in the
delivery of public services. Government’s role began with the announcement of a nationwide lockdown as a one of protective measures.Efforts were subsequently made to create a mega economic package, which was announced in May under the umbrella of “Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan”. The package focuses on land, labour, liquidity and
laws. It caters to various sections, including cottage industry, MSMEs, labourers, middle class, and industries.The government also announced a new set of initiatives in response to the impact of Covid - 19 in the healthcare sector, education sector and food security.The present paper attempt to describe the government initiatives for
protection against COVID-19. Therefore, taking this context ahead, the present paper will use secondary literature, information and data available in the context of COVID-19.

Published: November 2020

This study examined the motivating factors that influenced prospective graduate students’ choice in pursuing an advanced degree and choosing an institution at which to study. This article articulates the qualitative piece of a larger study which sought to understand these reasons and why they were important. Interviews from 15 current graduate students at two land-grant universities were coded and thematically analyzed according to phenomenological reduction procedures. Results of the study indicate that prospective graduate students highly weigh (1) funding opportunities, (2) external factors such as career advancement or higher pay, (3) personal growth and learning opportunities, and (4) perceived flexibility within their program when applying for graduate programs in areas of agricultural education, agricultural communication, extension education or agricultural leadership development. Finally, doctoral students felt the opportunity to conduct research was also an important factor, although most master’s degree students disagreed. Future recommendations for research included identifying differences in motivations for students of different demographics and more deeply exploring students’ understanding of possible funding opportunities and processes.

Published: November 2020

Extension professionals help important agricultural sectors across the country resolve challenges using science-based practices that enhance environmental and social wellbeing while supporting businesses. Nursery and greenhouse growers comprise one of the largest sectors of U.S. agriculture, and this group is challenged to conserve water without compromising their economic viability. While Extension professionals educate and support nursery and greenhouse growers, there is a deficiency of research on adoption processes within this sector. To better understand this important Extension audience, this research examined the influence of critical thinking and problem-solving style on perceived characteristics of water conservation technologies and in turn the perceived characteristics relationship with their implementation. A route to adoption was established to inform effective Extension activities that promote water conservation. Problem-solving style predicts trialability while critical thinking style predicts none of the five characteristics of innovations. Of the five characteristics of water conservation innovations, relative advantage, trialability, and observability play a role in nursery and greenhouse growers’ implementation, and implementation does influence adoption. When designing water conservation programs for nursery and greenhouse growers, Extension professionals should consider participants’ problem-solving style and incorporate strategies to increase trialability, relative advantage, and observability.

With the advent of modern technology, its essential to avail the latest consumer trends to get maximum efficient results in the context of a globalized market. More attention is paid to the consumption of manufactured goods and everyday items. Much less attention is paid to the service sector, in particular medical, recreational and physical. There is also a lack of application of mathematically grounded, computer methods and models for such modelling. We proposeda fuzzy based test metrics for a cosmetology paradigm (FTMCP) as tasks of multi-criteria decision making on a variety of alternatives. The Specific features of cosmetology services, marketing, communication components are determined. A computer model in the Fuzzy Tech, specialized software product for computer fuzzy modelling, was developed. Integrated assessments for cosmetic institutions have been calculated. The results are analyzed and recommendations for improving the quality of cosmetology service, websites of cosmetology institutions, are suggested. The principles of the proposed approach, the described fuzzy model and its computer implementation can be applied to a wide range of tasks of multi criteria assessment of customer service in various social fields - retail stores, medicine, culture, health, physical education and training, public catering, other household and domestic services.
Success-Driving Business Model Characteristics of IaaS Providers – Towards a Quantitative Evaluation
Authors: Floerecke Sebastian , Felix Röck Florian , Lehner Franz
Published: November 2020

Despite the highly competitive situation within the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) market and the resulting pressure and uncertainty for the involved providers, only little knowledge is available about business model characteristics (BMCs) related to success. Merely few qualitative studies are existing that propose hypotheses on success-driving business model characteristics (SDBMCs), however, a general and comparative quantitative evaluation and thus an evidence for their impact on business success is still missing. But this knowledge is essential for IaaS providers as it would allow them to focus their limited resources and efforts on the truly decisive BMCs and, at the same time, save costs by avoiding activities and investments of minor importance. Aiming to reduce this gap, a web-based survey was carried out, in which representatives of IaaS providers of different size rated the level of relevance of the proposed SDBMCs. As this study is still going on, this paper focuses on presenting the study design and an analysis of the data collected so far. As a preliminary result, nearly 80 % of the SDBMCs were rated as extremely important or important, meaning that the existing qualitative research results were confirmed to a high degree. The relevance of the individual SDBMCs varies greatly depending on the IaaS provider’s size

The objective of this research is to find the best conventional high order fuzzy time series model for annual precipitation series in southern Madagascar. This work consists on finding the hyper parameters (number of partition of the universe of discourse and model order) to obtain the best conventional high order fuzzy time series model for our experimental data. In previous works, entitled spatial and temporal variability of precipitation in southern Madagascar, we subdivided the study area between 22 ° S to 30 ° S latitude and 43 ° Eto 48 ° E longitude into four zones of homogeneous precipitation. In this article, we seek to model annual precipitation data representative of one of these four areas. These data were taken between 1979 and 2017. Our approach consists on subdividing the data: data obtained from 1979 to 2001 (60%) for the training and data from 2002 to 2017 (40%) to test the model. To determine the number of partitions and model order, we fix first the number of partitions to 10 and then to 15, 20, 25,30, 35, 40, 45 and 50.For each of these values, we vary the model order from 1 to 10.Thenwe locate the model order which corresponds to the minimum of the average curve between the Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) between the training data and the test data. Thus, the orders of the candidate model are 2, 3, 5, and 6.The next step is to fix the model order with the previous values and vary the number of partitions from 3 to 50.For each couple of hyper parameter of the model (number of partitions, model order), we locate the value of number of partitions corresponding to the minimum of the average curve between the absolute mean of the errors or MAE (Mean Absolute Error) between the train and test data. We obtain the hyper-parameter pairs (37, 2), (20, 3), (35, 5) and (35, 6).The first pair gives the lowest Mean Absolute Error. As a final result, we obtain the best high order fuzzy time series model with hyperparameters number of partition equals thirty seven and of order equals two for annual precipitation in Southern of Madagascar
Eye Gaze Estimation Invisible and IR Spectrum for Driver Monitoring System
Authors: Mohan Susmitha , Phirke Manoj
Published: November 2020

Driver monitoring system has gained lot of popularity in automotive sector to ensure safety while driving. Collisions due to driver inattentiveness or driver fatigue or over reliance on autonomous driving features arethe major reasons for road accidents and fatalities. Driver monitoring systems aims to monitor various aspect of driving and provides appropriate warnings whenever required. Eye gaze estimation is a key element in almost all of the driver monitoring systems. Gaze estimation aims to find the point of gaze which is basically,” -where is driver looking”. This helps in understanding if the driver is attentively looking at the road or if he is distracted. Estimating gaze point also plays important role in many other applications like retail shopping, online marketing, psychological tests, healthcare etc. This paper covers the various aspects of eye gaze estimation for a driver monitoring system including sensor choice and sensor placement. There are multiple ways by which eye gaze estimation can be done. A detailed comparative study on two of the popular methods for gaze estimation using eye features is covered in this paper. An infra-red camera is used to capture data for this study. Method 1 tracks corneal reflection centre w.r.t the pupil centre and method 2 tracks the pupil centre w.r.t the eye centre to estimate gaze. There are advantages and disadvantages with both the methods which has been looked into. This paper can act as a reference for researchers working in the same field to understand possibilities and limitations of eye gaze estimation for driver monitoring system.

With the huge innovative improvement in all lifestyles, it has been important to build up the clinical fields, remembering the finding for which treatment is done; where the fruitful treatment relies upon the preoperative. Models for the preoperative, for example, planning to understand the complex internal structure of the liver and precisely localize the liver surface and its tumors; there are various algorithms proposed to do the automatic liver segmentation. In this paper, we propose a Batch Normalization After All - Convolutional Neural Network (BATA-Convnet) model to segment the liver CT images using Deep Learning Technique. The proposed liver segmentation model consists of four main steps: pre-processing, training the BATA-Convnet, liver segmentation, and the postprocessing step to maximize the result efficiency. Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) dataset and 3DImage Reconstruction for Comparison of Algorithm Database (3D-IRCAD) were used in the experimentation and the average results using MICCAI are 0.91% for Dice, 13.44% for VOE, 0.23% for RVD, 0.29mm for ASD, 1.35mm for RMSSD and 0.36mm for MaxASD. The average results using 3DIRCAD dataset are 0.84% for Dice, 13.24% for VOE, 0.16% for RVD, 0.32mm for ASD, 1.17mm for RMSSD and 0.33mm for MaxASD.

Abstract. A better understanding of greenhouse gas surface sources and sinks is required in order to address the global challenge of climate change. Spaceborne remote estimations of greenhouse gas atmospheric concentrations can offer the global coverage that is necessary to improve the constraint on their fluxes, thus enabling a better monitoring of anthropogenic emissions. In this work, we introduce the Adaptable 4A Inversion (5AI) inverse scheme that aims to retrieve geophysical parameters from any remote sensing observation. The algorithm is based on Bayesian optimal estimation relying on the Operational version of the Automatized Atmospheric Absorption Atlas (4A/OP) radiative transfer forward model along with the Gestion et Étude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosphériques: Management and Study of Atmospheric Spectroscopic Information (GEISA) spectroscopic database. Here, the 5AI scheme is applied to retrieve the column-averaged dry-air mole fraction of carbon dioxide (XCO2) from measurements performed by the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) mission, and uses an empirically corrected absorption continuum in the O2 A-band. For airmasses below 3.0, XCO2 retrievals successfully capture the latitudinal variations of CO2, as well as its seasonal cycle and long-term increasing trend. Comparison with ground-based observations from the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) yields a difference of 1.33 ± 1.29 ppm, which is similar to the standard deviation of the Atmospheric CO2 Observations from Space (ACOS) official products. We show that the systematic differences between 5AI and ACOS results can be fully removed by adding an average calculated – observed spectral residual correction to OCO-2 measurements, thus underlying the critical sensitivity of retrieval results to forward modelling. These comparisons show the reliability of 5AI as a Bayesian optimal estimation implementation that is easily adaptable to any instrument designed to retrieve column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of greenhouse gases.
Stratospheric influence on MLT over mid-latitudes in winter by
Fabry-Perot interferometer data
Authors: Zorkaltseva Olga S. , Vasilyev Roman V.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. In this paper, we study the response of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) to sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) and the activity of stationary planetary waves (SPWs). We observe the 557.7-nm optical emission for retrieve the MLT wind, temperature with the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) that has no analogues in Russia. The FPI is located at the mid-latitudes of Eastern Siberia within the Tory Observatory (TOR) at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISTP SB RAS, 51.8N, 103.1E). Regular interferometer monitoring started in Dec 2016. Here, we address the temporal variations in the 557.7-nm emission intensity, as well as the variations in wind, temperature, and their variability obtained by using the line parameters measurement during the 2016–2020 winters. Both SSWs and SPWs appear to have equally strong effects in the upper atmosphere. When the 557.7-nm emission decreases due to some influences from below (SSWs or SPWs), the temperature variation observed by using this line and the temperature itself increase significantly. The zonal wind dispersion does not show significant SPW- and SSW-correlated variations, but the dominant zonal wind reverses during major SSW events the same as the averaged zonal wind at 60N in the stratosphere does without significant delays.

Abstract. Paleoclimate archives, such as high-resolution ice core records, provide a means to investigate long-term (multi-centennial) climate variability. Until recently, the Law Dome (Dome Summit South) ice core record remained one of few long-term high-resolution records in East Antarctica. A new ice core drilled in 2017/2018 at Mount Brown South, approximately 1000 km west of Law Dome, provides an additional high-resolution record that will likely span the last millennium in the Indian Ocean sector of East Antarctica. Here, we compare snowfall accumulation rates and sea salt concentrations in the upper portion (~21 m) of the Mount Brown South record, and an updated Law Dome record over the period 1975–2016. Annual sea salt concentrations from the Mount Brown South record preserves a stronger signal for the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO; in austral winter and spring, r = 0.521, p

Abstract. Nitrogen (N) availability can be highly variable in tropical forests on a regional and on a local scale. While environmental gradients influence N cycling on a regional scale, topography is known to affect N availability on a local scale. We compared stable isotope signatures (δ15N) of soil profiles in tropical lowland forest, tropical montane forest, and subtropical Miombo woodland within the Congo Basin as a proxy to assess ecosystem-level differences in N cycling. Furthermore, we examined the effect of surface slope angles on δ15N in the same forests to quantify local differences induced by topography. Soil δ15N profiles indicated that the N cycling in in the montane forest is more closed and dominated by organic N turnover, whereas the lowland forest and Miombo woodland experienced a more open N cycle dominated by inorganic N. Furthermore, our results show that slope angles only affects the soil δ15N signature in the Miombo forest, which is prone to erosion due to the lower vegetation cover and intense rainfalls at the onset of the wet season. Lowland forest, on the other hand, with a flat topography and protective vegetation cover, showed no influence of topography on soil N cycling. Values from the montane forest showed high variability in stable isotope signatures, but they were not constrained by topography. A pan-tropical analysis of soil δ15N values (i.e. from our study and the literature) reveals that soil δ15N is best explained by factors controlling erosion, namely mean annual precipitation, leaf area index, and slope angles. The erosive forces vary immensely between different tropical forest ecosystems and our results highlight the need of more spatial coverage of N-cycling studies in tropical forests, to further elucidate the local impact of topography on N cycling in this biome.
Origins of Multi-decadal Variability in Sudden Stratospheric
Warmings

Abstract. Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSWs) are major disruptions of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) stratospheric polar vortex and occur on average approximately 6 times per decade in observation based records. However, within these records, intervals of significantly higher and lower SSW rates are observed suggesting the possibility of low frequency variations in event occurrence. A better understanding of factors that influence this decadal variability may help to improve predictability of NH mid-latitude surface climate, through stratosphere-troposphere coupling. In this work, multi-decadal variability of SSW events is examined in a 1000-yr pre-industrial simulation of a coupled Atmosphere-Ocean-Land-Sea ice model. Using a wavelet spectral decomposition method, we show that hiatus events (intervals of a decade or more with no SSWs) and consecutive SSW events (extended intervals with at least one SSW in each year) vary on multi-decadal timescales of period between 60 and 90 years. Signals on these timescales are present for approximately 450 years of the simulation. We investigate the possible source of these long-term signals and find that the direct impact of variability in tropical sea surface temperatures, as well as the associated Aleutian Low, can account for only a small portion of the SSW variability. Instead, the major influence on long-term SSW variability is associated with long-term variability in amplitude of the stratospheric quasi biennial oscillation (QBO). The QBO influence is consistent with the well known Holton-Tan relationship, with SSW hiatus intervals associated with extended periods of particularly strong, deep QBO westerly phases. The results support recent studies that have highlighted the role of vertical coherence in the QBO when considering coupling between the QBO, the polar vortex and tropospheric circulation.

O circuito produtivo de laranja na Microrregião Geográfica de Jales-SP
Authors: Martins Widson Tainan Ros , Nardoque Sedeval
Published: November 2020

O Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de laranja, destacando-se entre os principais países exportadores de suco concentrado desta fruta, sendo o estado de São Paulo o maior produtor nacional. Sob os ditames do agronegócio, o suco de laranja tornou-se commodity e a produção nacional dessa fruta articulou-se de forma a atender aos interesses do grande capital, representado pelas indústrias processadoras da bebida, monopolizando o mercado e exercendo forte controle sobre o setor. Neste contexto, a Microrregião Geográfica de Jales foi inserida no circuito espacial do capital vinculado à citricultura, embora a maior parte de sua produção de laranja seja vendida in natura no mercado interno, entendida como estratégia para “driblar” o monopólio das indústrias processadoras, sobretudo pelos camponeses produtores de laranja, mas não escapando à apropriação da renda da terra pelo capital presente na circulação desta mercadoria. Partindo de tais pressupostos, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o processo de apropriação da renda da terra pelo capital no circuito espacial de produção de laranja na Microrregião Geográfica de Jales.

29 de março de 1902. Nas instalações do Atheneu, na sala onde funcionava a Biblioteca Pública Estadual, ocorreu uma reunião solene, com alguns dos principais nomes da intelectualidade norte-rio-grandense. Ao iniciar a reunião, Olympio Manuel dos Santos Vital destacou a relevância do momento para o mundo das letras na cultura potiguar, pois o estado finalmente passava a abrigar uma instituição voltada para a preservação da memória estadual e com o desígnio de promover a escrita da história pátria e, especialmente, do Rio Grande do Norte. Nascia assim o Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Rio Grande do Norte, instituição que se tornou, ao longo do século XX, o principal centro de produção historiográfica do estado. Nesse texto propomos analisar os discursos acerca da fundação do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Rio Grande do Norte as concepções de escrita da história local defendidas no âmbito institucional nos seus primeiros anos de funcionamento.
Do oppidum à capital de província

Published: November 2020

Este artigo faz algumas considerações relativos à história da cidade romana de Bracara Augusta, com a pretensão de debater acerca da memória esquecida de uma opulenta urbs, importante no noroeste da Hispânia. Também, será debatido como as evidências arqueológicas foram um importante instrumento fundamental na (re)descoberta da cidade desde 1976, mostrando nuances antes fragmentadas e olvidadas por sobreposições de períodos. Portanto, ambiciona neste artigo fazer algumas ponderações acerca do protagonismo da cidade perante a região e o processo de integração da população no mundo Romano.
Opinião, ponto de vista e perspectiva - a construção da narrativa histórica e as questões de objetividade/verdade em História
Authors: Gago Marília
Published: November 2020

As sociedades atuais lidam com um crescente manancial de informação fruto de diversas origens, divulgado por vários meios e construída com base em preocupações, interesses e olhares distintos. Com frequência utilizam-se as expressões “opinião”,” ponto de vista” e “perspetiva” sem se debaterem quais os significados e que ideias dão corpo a estas expressões/conceitos.  Propõem-se este debate atendendo às conceções idealistas passando pelo Pós-modernismo e pelo “realismo crítico interno”. Partilha-se a perspetiva que a História é uma ciência que desenvolve o modo de compreender a realidade humana e considera-se necessário que este debate seja realizado com o objetivo de conscientemente se tomarem decisões válidas no percurso histórico. A narrativa histórica, face material da História, independentemente do suporte que utiliza, é natural e legitimamente multiperspetivada, considerando-se que é no criticismo mútuo que a validade pode emergir nas formas mais sofisticadas e se pode construir a compreensão histórica de forma interperspetivada. Este debate poderá contribuir para que os ruídos constantes que espelham interesses relativamente à(s) verdade(s) histórica(s) possam fazer emergir ideias e narrativas históricas mais sofisticadas construídas no diálogo múltiplo e plural.
Nas trilhas de uma autobiografia política: uma análise das biografias de Pedro Ludovico Teixeira
Authors: Souza Rildo Bento de
Published: November 2020

Pretende-se nesse artigo analisar duas biografias do médico e político goiano Pedro Ludovico Teixeira (1891-1979), quais sejam, A vida de Pedro Ludovico: fundação de Goiânia (1ª edição 1992; 2ª edição 2004) de José Mendonça Teles e Tu és Pedro: uma biografia de Pedro Ludovico Teixeira (2016) de Hélio Rocha. O que pretendo demonstrar é que os dois livros, com poucas alterações substanciais, percorreram o caminho trilhado pelo próprio Pedro Ludovico na sua autobiografia intitulada Memórias que foi publicada em 1973. Nesse sentido, tomaremos como exemplo as construções narrativas dos motivos que levaram Pedro Ludovico a lutar na Revolução de 1930 e as suas primeiras ações no governo do Estado, como Interventor.
