Published: August 2024

This review delves into the historical and contemporary use of precious metals in restorative dentistry, tracing the evolution from ancient practices to modern technological advancements. It underscores the critical role of metallic materials, such as gold, silver, copper, and alloys like cobalt-chromium and titanium, in dental restorations due to their superior mechanical properties, including high elastic modulus, tensile strength, and hardness. These materials are favored for their biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and adaptability to various manufacturing processes, including casting, mechanical processing, and advanced methods like CAD/CAM, laser sintering, and welding. Despite the advent of alternative materials catering to aesthetic preferences, metals maintain their relevance in dentistry for structural components in prosthetics, demonstrating significant advancements in dental material technology. The review highlights the importance of understanding the properties and behaviors of these materials within the oral cavity to ensure the quality and durability of dental restorations. Through a comprehensive literature search and analysis of metallurgy, manufacturing, and classification, this paper presents a thorough exploration of the indispensable role of precious metals in enhancing dental health and restorative practices.
New Paradigm of Common Link Theory in Contemporary Hadith Studies
Authors: Hakim Abdul Wahid
Published: August 2024

This article aims to explore the theory of common links in contemporary hadith research which was used differently from the beginning of its invention by Joseph Schacht and developed by Juynboll, who focuses only on discovering the originator or person in charge of the dissemination of a hadith. By using qualitative research with a historical approach, this article concludes that in the current context, the common link theory can be used to strengthen the authenticity of the prophet’s hadith because by using the source of the entire hadith book, a person with a common link status will be signed to a companion and even the prophet himself. Given the analysis that has been provided, it is clear that hadith scholars who are Muslim and non-Muslim have taken a keen interest in and debated Joseph Schacht's common link thesis, which Juynboll further expanded. Individual religious beliefs significantly influence the implementation and acceptance of the theory, resulting in differing degrees of support and criticism. There is no denying the common connection phenomena among isnad systems, even if many Muslim academics have widely rejected it. This research indicates that the common link theory can be used to support the veracity of particular hadiths, in contrast to some objections. Its potential utility in hadith validation is highlighted by the research, which finds cases in which the common link is attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his associates.

Published: August 2024

This study examines the effect of psychological empowerment as an antecedent factor and readiness to strengthen structural transformation. A total of 213 participants enrolled in higher institutions that have developed to become independent institutions, especially in financial support. The data processing procedure used SmartPLS 3.0 software and structural equation modeling (SEM). The outcomes of using structural equation modeling (SEM) aligned with established metrics, including Cronbach alpha, composite reliability, extracted mean-variance, and assessment standards for both structural models and measurements. This research found that psychological empowerment, encompassing meaning, skills, self-determination, and impact, positively influences lecturers' commitment to structural transformation. This supports previous research indicating that psychological empowerment significantly predicts structural commitment. Furthermore, the study reveals that psychological empowerment also enhances lecturers' willingness to change, which in turn strengthens their commitment to structural transformation. The findings underscore the pivotal role of willingness to transform as a mediator in this relationship, highlighting its importance in fostering structural resilience and adaptability. These insights contribute to understanding the dynamics of structural transformation readiness and commitment among academic staff, emphasizing the multifaceted impact of psychological empowerment in educational contexts and providing practical implications for educational institutions.

The Rawa Kidang Restoration is an area designated to plant tree species that rhinos like. Food is planted at the Rawa Kidang Restoration to maintain the rhino population. Knowledge of the importance of tree health is necessary because this can be a guide for rejuvenating or breeding trees attacked by disease or pests. To know the quality of rhino food, you need information about the health of rhino food trees. This research aims to investigate the health of rhino food trees in the Rawa Kidang Restoration. This research uses the Cluster Plot Level Index (CLI) formula to observe and examine canopy conditions and tree damage. The canopy condition parameters consist of five parameters: live crown ratio, density, transparency, diameter, and dieback. The parameters for the tree damage condition are the damage's location, the type I feel, and the level of tree damage. The research results show that the tree health value in cluster plot 1 is 2.35; in plot cluster 2, 2.50; in plot cluster 3, 3.70; and in plot cluster 4, 2.92. So, it can be concluded that the average tree health value in the four plot clusters is in the medium category. The severity of canopy conditions and tree damage can be influenced by surrounding conditions such as sunshine, growing conditions, water, and growing space.

The article examines individual problems arising from the plaintiff when going to court to resolve an individual employment dispute over dismissal. The issues of determining the jurisdiction of the relevant category of cases with the involvement of materials of judicial practice are considered. The positions of domestic researchers and law enforcement officers regarding the correlation of the terms “term of appeal to the court” and “statute of limitations” are given. The positions of the courts of general jurisdiction are analyzed on the issue when the period of appeal to the court on the issue of dismissal in controversial cases begins (for example, if the employee refuses to get acquainted with the order of dismissal or receive a work book (information about labor activity); if the employee got acquainted with the dismissal order and received a work book in different periods); whether the deadlines are prohibitive; as well as what circumstances can be found to be valid for the plaintiff to miss the deadline for applying to the court. It is concluded that in conditions of legal uncertainty, it is the courts that bear the main burden of overcoming gaps in law in relation to a specific case, the interpretation of assessment concepts, and so on.

As part of the improvement of legislation, the Federal Notary Chamber is charged with the duty to maintain a register of notifications on the pledge of movable property and on the cancellation of powers of attorney made in simple written form. It should be noted that these changes have a positive effect on civil turnover. However, there are some questions about the order of their implementation. The main thing is that neither the notary nor the person posting the relevant information about the pledge or cancellation of the power of attorney are responsible for the accuracy of the information, which allows of abuse. Within the framework of the conducted research aimed at assessing and analyzing the features of the procedural and legal order for conduct the above-mentioned registers, individual cases of abuse of the rights of persons posting information in the relevant registers are identified. It calls to clarify the procedure and limits of the actions of interested persons involved in the relevant legal relations in order to exclude the possibility of their unfair behavior. The research was based on general scientific methods of cognition and legal hermeneutics. In the course of the analysis of the current legislation and law enforcement practice, it was determined that in the existing reality, the possibility of abuse by persons posting information in the notary registers on the cancellation of powers of attorney and the register of pledge notifications is allowed. There are no instructions in the legislation on sanctions against persons who have violated the prescribed procedure for conduct the register. The presumption of notification from the moment when the information is placed in the register by the interested person, taking into account possible errors excluding the reliability of electronic search or the presence of distortions in the information making unpossible to properly identify the desired object, leads to a violation of the property rights of participants in civil turnover.

Published: August 2024

A mortadella is a cooked sausage made from raw pork, beef, chicken or lamb. It is popular in Jordan and neighboring countries for its taste, texture, nutritional value and ease of inclusion in sandwiches. The product is sold in plastic packaging, in circular rolls or vacuum packed. Although it poses no serious threat to human health, the heat can be dangerous if used improperly. A HACCP system is used to manage the production process, with a focus on quality control (CCP) throughout the manufacturing phase. Safety risks are identified at all stages of production, from raw materials to storage and distribution. Foodborne illnesses are primarily caused by pathogenic microorganisms, and these raw materials include pathogenic plant cells, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens that survive after cooking and contamination detected after monitoring. Post-manufacturing controls are performed through Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). The objectives of the study were to identify potential hazards associated with the production of beef mortadella, determine the CCPs to be implemented, develop a monitoring plan and establish corrective action on a case-by-case basis. The HACCP plan was developed in collaboration with local stakeholders and follows a process flow diagram to identify potential hazards and preventive measures. The system includes the steps for obtaining and storing the ingredients, preparing the meat, adding non-meat ingredients, and transferring the raw mixture to an incubator. The meat is weighed and filled with the mixture to improve cleanliness and avoid excess nitrite. The storage time between incubation and cooking is controlled to allow bacteria to multiply. To kill plant pathogens and reduce the total number of microorganisms, the product is cooked in a steam oven at 75°C for 5 minutes. The aim of the cooking process is to reduce microbial growth before lethal temperatures have been reached and uniform heating of the product has been ensured. Cooking suitability is checked by thermographic records and visual inspection of the cooked product. The plan also includes personnel in charge of every stage of production, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment. Key words: HACCP, Mortadella, meat processing, hygiene control, food safety
Collaborative conversations with teachers about hope: during and after COVID-19
Authors: Swanepoel Nadia , West Joyce
Published: August 2024

The concept of hope, from both a secular and Christian perspective, has been debated in many disciplines for centuries. Ideas around the phenomenon of hope have recently expanded in the field of education, owing to the major changes and challenges teachers had to face during the COVID-19 pandemic. Contemplating the concept of the source or existence of hope, especially during challenging times, requires careful investigation into how people interpret and experience hope. Therefore, this qualitative study focuses on teachers' interpretations and experiences of hope during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted through two collaborative conversations held with teachers as part of a community engagement project stretching across the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Deductive data analysis was done through ATLAS.ti. The findings revealed that the teachers had a similar understanding of hope. Furthermore, it was also found that hope cannot be described solely from a secular or Christian perspective. However, the participants' beliefs regarding the source of hope differed. These beliefs provided insight into whether participants’ understanding of hope was based on a secular or Christian perspective. From a secular perspective, hope was understood from the hope theory of Snyder et al. (1991). According to this theory, hope results from pathways thinking (planning various routes to a given goal), agency to reach a goal, and goal setting. In contrast, from a Christian perspective, hope views God as the source of hope owing to his promises. The invisible force of hope, whether agency-based or faith-based, was found to be central to teacher agency; therefore, the term "faith-based, purpose-driven hope" emerged from the data. Recommendations are made regarding the importance of nurturing teachers' hope to improve educational outcomes.

Published: August 2024

The plan to implement an Amphibious Bus operating in the Nusa Penida Tourism Area was spearheaded by public interest, which was predicted using forecasting calculations using the Least Square method regarding the number of tourists who will visit Nusa Penida in 2023, reaching 22,704 people. Nusa Penida is a tourist area located apart from the island of Bali. As a relatively small archipelago, access to the island is limited only by sea transportation. These amphibious buses can be an alternative mode of transportation that can be operated in areas with geographical conditions, such as the Nusa Penida area, and increase the efficiency value of public transportation. In organizing a public transport system as an amphibious bus, several parties contribute to accommodate according to their functions, rights, and obligations, namely the company as an operator, tourists as users, and regulatory power held by the government.

Published: August 2024

Bintan is one of the tourist destinations in Indonesia, and it has many international tourists. Still, it is not optimal due to problems with global access and the lack of an adequate airport. This paper aims to identify potential passengers for Bintan's new airport (BIA). The econometric method estimates passengers, and the gravity model determines the airport’s share. The catchment area will be Batam and Bintan Island. The calculation shows that the factor influencing air traffic in the catchment area is the total GRDP (R2 = 0.63). The traffic is dominated by international passengers who shift from current sea transport and additional passengers from improved air access. BIA’s passenger share is 24% compared to the number of passengers in the catchment area. The movement of passengers at BIA in 30 years will reach 12.9 million. Growth for the first ten years was 17.4% annually; the following ten years were 7.3% and 2.2%.

Published: August 2024

Road geometry design is a design process that plans the physical form of road pavement, which will later be used as a benchmark during the construction process. One of the designs referred to is the horizontal alignment, which sometimes requires repeated calculations. This paper discusses applications created using Python programming language that can calculate azimuth and horizontal alignment and act as a preliminary design by providing a range of design specifications on radius and speed. Applications can also generate coordinates files that Unity can read for visualization. The level of accuracy in the azimuth calculation shows no significant difference from the manual calculation. In the horizontal alignment test, there is a difference in decimal numbers due to the tendency of rounding in manual calculations. Unity has displayed the bend and PI lines on the visual output by reading two ".txt".

Results: The findings revealed that the variables as indicators of the risk of teenage pregnancy were courtship behavior, access to reproductive health media, and parenting. The predictive index of teen pregnancy risk factors was (-7.248 + 3.833 x low risk dating + 7.726 x severe risk dating + 2.773 x access 1 media + 2.773 x access 2/more media + 3.871 x authoritarian and permissive parenting). The high probability of teenage pregnancy with an opportunity value above 0.5 is in adolescents with dating behavior or parenting patterns that show the highest risk, namely high-risk dating behavior or adolescents with authoritarian and permissive parenting patterns. Conclusion: It is hoped that this index can be considered and used as a measuring tool in assisting in reproductive health programs, in screening adolescents so that it can be known early on that adolescents have an increased risk of pregnancy.

Este relato de experiência apresenta uma pesquisa de doutorado que culminou em um projeto de extensão na Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT). As atividades ocorreram na Escola Estadual Indígena Wakõmẽkwa, na Comunidade Riozinho Kakumhu, Reserva Xerente, em Tocantínia, e envolveram docentes, discentes da UFT e a comunidade escolar indígena. O objetivo foi refletir sobre a concepção dos professores indígenas sobre o ensino das artes na escola, a partir da perspectiva da interculturalidade. Usando uma abordagem qualitativa com visitas in loco, observação participante e sondagem percepcional, foram elaborados dois materiais didáticos bilíngues sobre a cultura xerente. Conclui-se que as ações incentivaram o uso da língua materna no ensino e promoveram uma postura crítica decolonial, valorizando o saber tradicional.

Penyakit hipertensi merupakan salah satu jenis penyakit kronis yang membutuhkan pengendalian jangka panjang. Pengendalian tersebut membutuhkan peran aktif keluarga dalam membantu penderita sehingga hipertensi dapat terkontrol.  Oleh karena itu, upaya peningkatan kesadaran bagi masyarakat, perlu dilakukan untuk memberikan pemahaman tentang pentingnya peran aktif keluarga bagi pengendalian hipertensi. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan peran aktif keluarga dalam mengendalikan hipertensi. Pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan kegiatan pendidikan kesehatan kepada penderita dan keluarga penderita hipertensi tentang penyakit hipertensi, pencegahan dan pengendaliannya. Sebanyak 56 peserta hadir dalam kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dan mengikuti kegiatan dengan antusias dari awal samapai akhir. Peran keluarga dalam pengendalian penyakit hipertensi sangat penting. Berbagai upaya pengendalian penyakit ini tidak bisa dilakukan oleh penderita sendiri, namun memerlukan bantuan keluarga dalam pengendaliannya.

Harga diri rendah di gambarkan sebagai perasaan negatif terhadap diri sendiri termasuk hilangnyarasa percaya diri dan harga diri. Tanda dan gejala harga diri rendah diantaranya yaitu munculperasaan bingung, putus asa, tidak berdaya, tidak berharga dan tidak berguna, merasa kurangdiperhatikan, menurunnya memori dalam jangka waktu panjang atau pendek, menurunnyakemampuan, menarik diri dan kurang melakukan sosialisasi. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan untukmeningkatkan kemampuan untuk melakukan kegiatan pada pasien yang mengalami harga dirirendah salah satunya adalah dengan terapi okupasi berkebun. Tujuannya melakukan studi kasuspenerapan terapi okupasi berkebun pada klien harga diri rendah. Metode penelitian ini yaitu Studikasus dengan menerapkan implementasi evidance based practice pada asuhan keperawatan.Hasildari studi kasus adalah pemberian intervensi terapi okupasi berkebun yang berdampak padameningkatnya kemampuan positif dan peningkatan harga diri klien. Peningkatan kemampuanberkebun klien didapatkan hasil awal sebelum tindakan yaitu skor 4, setelah tindakan menjadi skor 9.Kemudian peningkatan harga diri diukur menggunakan kuesioner Rosenberg diperoleh dari skorsebelum dilakukan tindakan okupasi 19, skor akhir setelah tindakan okupasi menjadi 24.

The increasing use of electronic appliances has resulted in millions of tons of outdated devices and electronic waste, a small percentage of which is recycled. This work focuses on opening new gates by using electronic waste as an alloy source to produce important industrial alloys rather than using pure elements, which results in the depletion of earth resources and environmental hazards. The samples studied were prepared by diluting the waste (metal constituents) into scrap aluminum (Al)-based alloys. The microstructures, phase characterization, and chemical or elemental analyses of the prepared samples were investigated. The results of the chemical analysis showed an increase in the content of some elements such as silicon (Si), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni) compared to the initial Al-base charge main constituent, proving the formation of complex solid solutions. Throughout the study, the microstructural and phase analyses showed the formation of rhombic dodecahedron primary α-AlFeCrSi phase instead of the needle-shaped β-Al5FeSi. This can be explained by the presence of Cr (added from waste) that can eliminate the harmful effects of the primary Fe-rich intermetallic phases by transforming those into solid solutions.
Interpretation of Gravity by Entropy
Authors: Fujino Seiji
Published: August 2024

In this paper, we introduce generalized entropy, the acceleration of its entropy and its the partial entropy. We assume that generalized entropy can be expressed as a second-order polynomial by applying the idea of logistics function to its entropy. In other words, we assume that the acceleration of generalized entropy is a constant. Besides, we show that the negative inverse of the partial entropy can express Newton's classical gravity, which is an inverse square law. By applying these concepts, we attempt to explain that 1) Gravity is constant within small distances with some conditions. It is possible that gravity have 6-states within small distance. Furthermore, within small distance, we show the possibility that the gravitational potential and the Coulomb potential can be treated in the same way, that 2) The rotation speed of a galaxy does not depend on its radius if the radius is within the size level of the universe. (The galaxy rotation curve problem), and that 3) The gravitational acceleration toward the center changes at long distances compared to the classical theory of gravity. Furthermore, we show that the possibility of the existence of some constants which controls gravity and the speed of galaxies, and that gravity may relate on entropy.
Long-Term Focus and Enterprise Strategy

This research investigates the relationship between the long-term orientation of top managers and their strategic decision-making processes, emphasising the comprehensiveness, speed, and inventiveness of decisions. The study employed structural equation modelling to look into the suggested connections using a sample of CEOs. The findings demonstrated a high and positive correlation between long-term orientation and decision comprehensiveness and speed, but not for decision creativity. The study contributes to the growing body of research on how human variations, such as temporal orientation, affect business outcomes and strategic decision-making. Moreover, the fact that a number of the results differed from those of other studies carried out in other contexts highlights how important it is to consider the industry and cultural environment when assessing these connections.
