Published: April 2024

Abstract: Waste management is one of the important aspects when it comes to avoiding diseases caused by unsegregated waste. Many people have lesser knowledge about what is wet and dry waste. The escalating global waste generation hasled to a pressing need for innovative waste management solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced. This abstract introduces a "Smart Dry and Wet Waste Management System" that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize waste management practices. Traditional waste management systems often lack real-time monitoring and optimization capabilities, resultingin inefficiencies, environmental concerns, and increased operational costs. The proposed system aims to address these challenges by integrating IoT technologies, sensor networks, and data analytics into waste collection and disposal processes.The main objective is to automate the segregation system thereby removing the human intervention. The hardware components such as Arduino, sensors, LCD are used to build the system. The integration of IoT in waste management contributes to a cleaner environment, reduced operational costs, and increased overall efficiency. By preventing overflows, minimizing unnecessary collection trips, and promoting recycling practices, the system aligns with sustainable waste management goals. Moreover, the collected data can be analyzed over time to identify longterm trends, enabling continuous optimization of waste management strategies..
Resource analysis for quantum-aided Byzantine agreement with the four-qubit singlet state
Authors: Guba Zoltán , Finta István , Budai Ákos , Farkas Lóránt , Zimborás Zoltán , Pályi András
Published: April 2024

In distributed computing, a Byzantine fault is a condition where a component behaves inconsistently, showing different symptoms to different components of the system. Consensus among the correct components can be reached by appropriately crafted communication protocols even in the presence of byzantine faults. Quantum-aided protocols built upon distributed entangled quantum states are worth considering, as they are more resilient than traditional ones. Based on earlier ideas, here we establish a parameter-dependent family of quantum-aided weak broadcast protocols. We compute upper bounds on the failure probability of the protocol, and define and illustrate a procedure that minimizes the quantum resource requirements. Following earlier work demonstrating the suitability of noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) devices for the study of quantum networks, we experimentally create our resource quantum state on publicly available quantum computers. Our work highlights important engineering aspects of the future deployment of quantum communication protocols with multi-qubit entangled states.
Deemed Consent in Islamic Banking from Contract Law Perspective: A Sharia Analysis
Authors: Nik Abdul Ghani Nik Abdul Rahim , A Shukor Abdul Rahman
Published: April 2024

This paper is specifically focusing on the issue of deemed consent as applied in modern Islamic financial contracts. It has been recognized by some scholars and rejected by others. The purpose of this study is to examine the meaning of deemed consent in contract law and its recognition from the Sharia point of view. It begins with examining the meaning of sighah and deemed consent from civil law as well as Islamic law perspective and followed by the analysis of the effect of silence in the validity of acceptance in Islamic law of contract. The approach that is applied in this study is qualitative research in nature, with regards to documentation and secondary sources by reviewing and analyzing the fiqhi perspective of consent and silence in Islamic law; by taking into consideration current practice of financial industry. The findings of the study are that deemed consent in the law can be considered as an acceptance. It is understood by the buyer indicating his consent to the sale by his conduct or silence. Generally, absolute silence in banking transactions is not an acceptance, but that there must be evidences or clues indicating the consent of customers. As such the non-absolute silence can be considered as acceptance in the Islamic law by taking into consideration some Sharia parameters proposed in this study. Interestingly, this idea is also shared by the Common law. Accordingly, based on the analysis conducted in this study, tacit acceptance, or implied acceptance is one of the means of expressing contemporary consent that can be applied. This study develops Sharia parameters consisting of five items as important guidelines in applying deemed consent in the Islamic banking.

Authors: Ahmad Azlin Alisa , Mat Zain Mat Noor , Amanina Zakaria Nur Diyana
Published: April 2024

Smart contracts are simply programs stored in a blockchain that run under predetermined conditions; however, they are yet to be implemented commercially in the financial industry, including the Islamic financial industry. It has not been entirely implemented in the Islamic financial industry because it is unstable and there are debates regarding its conformity with Shariah principles. Since the development of the smart contract is still in the preliminary stages, its position in an Islamic contract is yet to be determined. Does a smart contract blockchain comply with Islamic contract theory? This qualitative study aims to analyse the smart contract’s position based on Islamic contract theory. Data were obtained using content analysis and interview methods, in which the semi-structured interview involved Islamic financial experts and industryplayers. Data were then analysed using the QDA Miner version 5.0.31 software. Findings indicate that a smart contract differs from other contracts because it records every transaction using hash cryptography and computer codes known as solidity. Besides that, transactions did not adhere to two principles of an Islamic contract, namely the existence of autonomy in the contracting parties and the ability to manipulate the contract. Hence, Shariah-based risks in a smart contract can be decreased by improving the Shariah compliance aspect in the transaction to solve autonomy issues and the manipulation of contracts. The study implies that a smart contract has the potential to become an innovation in the Islamicfinancial industry if it can adhere to the principles of an Islamic contract and it can be monitored by relevant authorities.

Authors: Nasrullah Nasrullah , Andriawan Wawan , Musawar Musawar
Published: April 2024

Politics and law are two variables that can influence each other in a legal system. Legal politics is a form of state policy carried out through authorized state institutions to establish the desired regulations, which are expected to be used to express what is contained in society and to achieve the desired goals. This research aims to examine the character of statutory legal products, namely the character of legal products of Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. This research is normative legal research which makes norms the object of study using a legal approach analyzed using legal political theory. The data collection technique used is literature study. Research findings show that in general the character of the legal product of Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is responsive in view of the birth of the law. However, the provisions of Article 7 paragraph (2) of Law Number 16 of 2019 do not show a responsive or conservative character. The provisions in this article are not in accordance with the spirit of change based on Constitutional Court Decision Number 22/PUU-XV/2017 and seem ahistorical. Theoretically, the conservative character in legal politics is a legal product that is not democratic, different from responsive legal products, namely legal products that accommodate a variety of opinions. Other findings show that there is no judicial institution that has the authority to check the consistency between the provisions of one article or paragraph and another in one form of legal product.

Authors: Isroqunnajah Isroqunnajah , Hawabi Agus Iqbal , Khoirot Umdatul
Published: April 2024

The determination of the age of majority in civil law and Islamic law is an important and controversial issue. Adulthood is closely related to decision-making and responsibility for what they do, both in the eyes of law and socio-culture. Legal capacity and legal authority are important considerations in regulating whether a person is considered to have the capacity to take legal decisions. This study aims to analyze or measure the concept of age of majority in civil regulations from medical, psychological and Islamic legal perspectives. This research uses empirical legal studies with civil law and Islamic law approaches. Researchers collected data in two ways: in-depth interviews and literature studies. The results showed that the government has set rules summarized in the law in accordance with the area of the legal case at hand. In the context of criminal law, it can refer to the Criminal Code (Criminal Code) while Islamic law can refer to the KHI (Compilation of Islamic Law). Although there is no alignment of age determination in it, so when legal problems arise, because there are indeed differences, including from a medical and psychological point of view. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize the age of maturity for a person to have certain rights and obligations within the state or in the face of law. The results of this study are expected to provide deeper insights into the view of adulthood from the perspective of law, fiqh, and psychology in the context of civil regulations. The implications of this research can be useful in developing legal policies that are more adaptive and inclusive to cultural differences and views in determining a person's legal capacity and legal authority in the realm of civil law.

Published: April 2024

Islam is a religion that upholds the values of justice and equal rights between men and women, but the understanding of the Indonesian Muslim community is still wrong with the teachings of Islam. One of the reasons includes misunderstanding of misogynistic hadiths, namely hadiths that editorially seem to demean women. This study aims to explore Islamic feminists’ rejection of the textual understanding of misogynistic hadiths to uphold gender justice. This Islamic feminist stance needs to receive support so that gender justice is in line with Islamic law. This research uses empirical qualitative methods by analyzing the theory of understanding hadith and gender theory. The study obtained data from interviews and a literature review. The respondents interviewed were academics, NGO activists, and community leaders, while the literature included journal articles, books, and Islamic textbooks on Islamic law. The study took place in Makassar City, Indonesia from September 2022 to March 2023. Findings reveal that Islamic feminists in Makassar City criticize the textual interpretations of misogynistic hadiths as they demean women’s dignity and are not in accordance with the values of Islamic teachings. If analyzed from a gender perspective, Islamic feminists have played an important role in fighting for gender equality in a religious context. Meanwhile, in the context of hadith understanding theory, a contextual approach is needed to provide a comprehensive understanding of society so that gender justice is realized. The contribution of this study is that the Islamic feminist perspective that reviews misogynistic hadith through a contextual approach helps provide inspiration and direction for other efforts to encourage social change and gender justice.

Brucellosis a possible link to Increased Stillbirths: A Population based Study from Malta, 1919-1954
Authors: Tripp Lianne , Sawchuk Larry A. , Samarakoon Mahinda
Published: April 2024

This study is novel in that it quantitatively exams the impact of human
brucellosis, an endemic zoonotic disease in Malta from 1919 until 1954,
and the impact on reproductive loss through stillbirths. Based on
regression analysis, brucellosis had a statistically significant effect
(t = 2.8986, p = 0.0039) on stillbirth rate for males, but the effect of
brucellosis on stillbirths is not statistically significant for females
(p = 0.9103). This paper points to the importance of brucellosis, one of
the most common zoonotic diseases, as having implications for health
burden in women and fetuses in the contemporary context; this
relationship has been largely ignored in the literature.

Authors: Garcia Olazabal María Victoria , Teitelbaum Susana
Published: April 2024

Objetivo: evaluar la evidencia del láser como coadyuvante en el tratamiento quirúrgico de lesiones de furca grado II y reflejar la importancia clínica de los hallazgos para la toma de decisiones. Materiales y métodos: se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica manual, se consultaron las siguientes bases de datos: PORTAL TIMBO FOCO, PUBMED, BVS, SciELO y GOOGLE SCHOOLAR. Esta búsqueda fue restringida a los últimos 15 años y los artículos seleccionados están en inglés. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 105 artículos que abordan la temática y se completó la búsqueda con el rastreo y la lectura de la bibliografía referenciada en esos artículos. Conclusiones: El láser de baja potencia tanto para la bioestimulación así como su efecto anti-inflamatorio, solo ha mostrado hasta ahora resultados positivos a corto plazo como coadyuvante del tratamiento periodontal regenerativo en lesiones de furca grado II. Sin embargo, sus resultados a largo plazo no son claros debido a la debilidad metodológica y al número insuficente de estudios existentes. Por otro lado, la terapia fotodinámica podría ser una alternativa para el control de pérdida ósea en lesiones de furca causadas por periodontitis. Por lo tanto, hacen falta más estudios para dilucidar la acción del la terapia fotodinámica y de la fotobiomodulación coadyuvantes del tratamiento de las lesiones de furca.

Rhododendron simsii plays important roles in maintaining ecological system
stability in the north temperate zone. However, its natural growth is
greatly affected by soil microorganisms, particularly rhizosphere microbes.
In this study, a comparative analysis was conducted of the bacterial
community structure in the rhizosphere of R. simsii at the old, adult,
juvenile, and seedlings stages. The results showed that Proteobacteria
(38.53%?47.63%), Actinobacteria (23.45%?34.03%), and Acidobacteria
(10.33%?17.79%) were the dominant phyla in the R. simsii rhizosphere. In
particular, 3, 5, 42, and 33 OTUs were unique to the soil samples of ?old
trees?, ?adult trees?, ?juvenile trees?, and ?seedlings?, respectively.
Across four sets of R. simsii rhizosphere microbes sampled from seedlings to
old trees, the OTUs first increased, then decreased, and finally increased.
Overall, alpha diversity (Chao, ACE, and Sobs) revealed similar trends with
the highest value i?n recorded for the rhizosphere sample of ?adult trees?
and the lowest for the ?seedlings? sample. The bacterial genera in the
rhizosphere samples from ?old trees? and ?adult trees? exhibited close
clustering. Notably, the R. simsii population of ?juvenile trees?,
demonstrating the highest genetic diversity, were rich in Bradyrhizobium and
Streptomycetes. This research serves to benefit the domestication of wild R.
simsii and other Rhododendron resources.
The phytocoenology, distribution, and habitat preferences of the species Aldrovanda vesiculosa (Droseraceae) in Romania

Published: April 2024

Aldrovanda vesiculosa is an endangered aquatic species in Romania which grows
in shallow waters where competition with other aquatic species is limited or
absent. A comprehensive overview of the species? distribution and habitat
preferences in Romania is currently lacking. In this context, this study
aimed to update the distribution and habitat preferences of the species.
Localities from Dobrogea, Oltenia, Muntenia, Transylvania, and Cri?ana
represented the study areas. For the vegetation classification, 71 releves
with A. vesiculosa were analysed. The size of the sample areas ranged from 4
m2 to 25 m2. Vegetation syntaxonomic assignment was performed by
agglomerative hierarchical clustering. The optimal number of clusters was
chosen using the corrected Rand and Silhouette indices. Diagnostic species
were identified for each cluster based on the indicator value index
(IndVal). The study results showed that the dominant majority of the
previous populations of A. vesiculosa (89%) were no longer identified from
Romania in the 2008?2021 period. Recently (2021?2023), they were found only
in six localities in the Dobrogea, Transylvania, and Oltenia regions. The
causes of the disappearance of the species are eutrophication and the
lowering of the water level. From a phytocoenological point of view, 11
plant communities were identified where A. vesiculosa is found. According to
the EUNIS classification, this species inhabits wetlands (Q) and inland
surface waters (C). In conclusion, translocation is suggested as the primary
conservation measure for protecting the species.
Aspiration level-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II & III to solve fuzzy multi-objective shortest path problem
Authors: Todkar Aniket , Dhodiya Jayesh
Published: April 2024

The present article provides aspiration level-based non-dominated sorting
genetic algorithm-II and III techniques for solving a fuzzy multi-objective
shortest path problem utilizing an exponential membership function with a
possibility distribution. Furthermore, in this study, using ?-level sets,
fuzzy judgement was categorized for the decision maker to simultaneously
optimize fuzzy objective functions scenarios as optimistic, most likely, and
pessimistic. A numerical illustration is presented together with a data set
to demonstrate the use of the suggested techniques. A comparison is
performed between the suggested methodology and several other approaches.
The sensitivity of the objective functions is also investigated using
aspiration levels and shape parameters. The coverage is computed to assess
the effectiveness of the proposed methods. This research concludes that the
suggested approaches can manage fuzzy multi-objective shortest path problems
competently and efficiently with a solid yield, allowing the decision maker
to make a decision based on its aspiration level.
Wittgenstein’s Ignorance of Argumentation Theory and Toulmin’s Rehabilitation of Wittgenstein
Authors: HJ Ribeiro
Published: April 2024

The author- following his own research on the subject- argues that Wittgenstein ignores argumentation theory and in general, the problems of rhetoric and argumentation. From this point of view, he frames Stephen Toulmin’s reading of Wittgenstein, arguing that the British philosopher- who was a student of the Austrian- advocates precisely the same thesis. He explains that this happens in a very peculiar (rhetorical) context on Toulmin’s part; a context in which, in essence, Wittgenstein’s philosophy is being rehabilitated.
