ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH MATEMATIKA SISWA SMP NEGERI 10 TANGERANG
Authors: Novitasari Novitasari , Wilujeng Hestu
Published: November 2019

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 10 Tangerang. Data yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah data uji kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika seperti tes tulis dan wawancara. Analisis data dilakukan berdasarkan hasil uji tulis dan wawancara, kemudian dilakukan teknik triangulasi untuk mendapatkan data penelitian yang valid. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa siswa yang memiliki kemampuan tinggi, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan mampu memahami masalahnya dengan baik, memiliki rencana pemecahan dan dapat menyelesaikan penyelesaian masalah sesuai dengan rencana dan dapat melakukan pengecekan ulang. Sedangkan siswa yang memiliki kemampuan menengah, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan hampir memiliki kemampuan yang sama dengan siswa yang memiliki kemampuan tinggi, bedanya hanya pada langkah-langkah untuk memecahkan masalah dan pengecekan ulang. Siswa yang memiliki kemampuan menengah kurang memahami perhitungan dalam jumlah operasi, jadi ada kesalahan dalam proses perhitungan yang hasilnya tidak benar dan dalam aspek pengecekan, siswa yang memiliki kemampuan menengah hanya memeriksa sebagian saja. Lain kasus siswa yang memiliki kemampuan rendah. Siswa yang memiliki kemampuan rendah, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan tidak bisa menyelesaikan masalah secara tuntas, karena belum mengetahui rencana penyelesaian yang belum matang, jadi tidak ada hasilnya. Sedangkan pada aspek pengecekan, siswa yang memiliki kemampuan rendah hanya melihat proses perhitungan, tidak mengecek hasilnya benar atau salah, karena siswa yang memiliki kemampuan rendah tidak ada hasilnya, sehingga mereka tidak mengecek hasil yang diperoleh.Kata Kunci: kemampuan pemecahan masalah

Published: November 2019

AbstrakPenelitian ini didasari oleh rendahnya kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa yang disebabkan oleh model pembelajaran yang digunakan oleh guru belum dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa, pendekatan yang masih konvensional sehingga pembelajaran masih terfokus pada guru yang membuat siswa pasif dalam pelajaran. Model Treffinger menuntut kemampuan guru untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa yang terdapat tiga langkah, yaitu guru memberikan pertanyaan yang berhubungan dengan materi, siswa diberikan waktu untuk berdiskusi guna mengisi lembar kerja siswa (LKS) dan mencari alternatif penyelesaian, tahap akhir siswa diberikan masalah yang terdapat dalam kehidupan nyata. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) dengan model Kemmis dan Mc Taggart yang mencakup perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, obeservasi hingga refleksi yang dilakukan kepada siswa kelas VIII SMP Plus Assa'adah Serang dengan dua siklus. Setiap siklusnya terdiri dari tiga pertemuan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa. Berdasarkan penelitian, kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa meningkat. Pada siklus I, nilai rata-rata tes siswa sebesar 58,39 yang dikategorikan 11,54% rendah dan 88,46% sedang. Pada siklus II, nilai rata-rata tes siswa sebesar 78,46 yang dikategorikan 52,17% sedang dan 47,93% tinggi, tidak terdapat siswa dengam kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis yang rendah.Kata kunci: kemampuan berpikir kreatif, model Treffinger AbstactThis research is based on the low ability of students to think creatively mathematically caused the learning model used by the teacher has not been able to improve students' mathematical creative thinking skills, a conventional approach so that learning is still focused on the teacher which makes students passive in the lesson. Treffinger's model demands the ability of the teacher to improve students' creative thinking skills in three steps, namely the teacher gives questions related to the material, students are given time to discuss in order to fill student worksheets (LKS) and look for alternative solutions, the final stage students are given problems that there is in real life. This research is a classroom action research (CAR) with the Kemmis and Mc Taggart models which includes planning, implementing actions, observing to reflections made to eighth grade students of SMP Plus Assa'adah Serang with two cycles. Each cycle consists of three meetings which aim to improve students' creative thinking skills. Based on research, students' mathematical creative thinking skills increase. In cycle I, the average test score of students was 58.39 which was categorized as 11.54% low and 88.46% moderate. In cycle II, the average score of students' test was 78.46 which was categorized as 52.17% medium and 47.93% high, there were no students with low mathematical creative thinking abilities.Keywords: creative thinking ability, Treffinger model

Biomass distances from personalized multispecies dynamic flux balance analysis of the human gut microbiome identify dietary influences for patients with and without inflammatory bowel disease
Authors: Dimopoulos Alexandros C. , Reczko Martin
Published: November 2019

A parallelized version of a multispecies dynamic flux balance analysis (msdFBA) algorithm is implemented and applied to the AGORA collection of genome-scale metabolic reconstructions for 818 members of the human gut microbiome. The msdFBA method assumes the well stirred interaction mode of all organisms to exchange external metabolites. In each msdFBA simulation, the biomasses the gut microbiome composition of one of 149 patients from NIH Human Microbiome Project is used for initialization in combination with one of 11 different diets used as substrates as defined in the Virtual Metabolic Human database. The union of all species in the patient data comprises 255 different microbes. The patients are either healthy or suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The msdFBA simulation is performed for 50 time steps. For all combinations of patients and time steps, the euclidean distance between the vector of the biomasses of the 255 patient species and the evolving vector of biomasses for the same species is calculated, providing the information about the biomass distance to each patient during each simulation. To quantify the overall influence of a diet for all patients, a diet score is defined as the sum of the reciprocal distances to the closest patient at the last time step, in case the closest patient is diseased, subtracted from the respective sum for the case that the closest patient is healthy. With this score, the known beneficial influences both of a high fiber and a gluten free diet for IBD is verified. Noteworthy is the utility of a Mediterranean diet in this context, having similar distance patterns. The proposed method provides an universal platform for the in-silico analysis of different environmental influences like diets for different microbiotas defined by metagenomic quantifications from individual patients and has the potential to generate additional dietary recommendations for the management of various other diseases.

The Empirical Evidence of GARCH Effects on Return Series: Vietnam Stock Market 2000-2003
Authors: Vuong Quan-Hoang
Published: November 2019

The Vietnamese Stock Market was officially born on July 20, 2000, and considered an experiment, in the sense that it would likely accept adjustment and constraints to reflect the contemporaneous national economic settings. This paper is one of the first applied econometric studies investigating an evidence of GARCH effects on return series of 10 individual assets and the VNI, an index devised as the market general price indicator. The results are encouraging: Firstly, we found evidence that the time series exhibit many similar properties as those for other regional markets, such as autoregressive and serial correlation; Secondly, using rather sophisticated empirical models for a newborn market, we succeed in achieving some nontrivial remarks with respect to the use of policy matters. This paper demonstrates the importance of the application of statistical methods, a topic still not received much attention from the economic researchers in Vietnam.

Future in very limited people's hands: Distortion of psychology fields via distortion of researcher evaluation
Authors: Yamada Yuki
Published: November 2019

In this paper, I discussed new forms of researcher evaluation in psychological research with a view to solving the reproducibility problem. I pointed out that the current researcher evaluation system is severely biased, rather encouraging publication of less reproducible findings with fraud or bad practices. To alleviate this bias, the proposed remedies included limitation of duplicate awards, reputation-based individual research indicators, and clarification of contributions. In addition, the evaluation of researchers from society is also biased, so spins, conflicts of interest, and public involvement in research were raised as important issues. I hope that these discussions will be noticed by the interested parties who are not interested in them.

Albeit these proofs show a link between neural activity and cognition, we discuss why they fail to demonstrate the existence of an invariant neural code
Cultural evolution of football tactics: Strategic social learning in managers' choice of formation
Authors: Mesoudi Alex
Published: November 2019

In order to solve complex problems or make difficult decisions, people must strategically combine personal information acquired directly from experience (individual learning) and social information copied from others (social learning). The game of football (soccer) provides a wealth of real world data with which to quantify managers' use of personal and social information in selecting team formations. I analyse a 5-year dataset of all games (n=9127, 2012-2017) in the five top European leagues (English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, French Ligue 1 and Italian Serie A) to quantify the extent to which a manager's initial match formation is guided by their personal past use or success with that formation, or other managers' use or success with that formation. I focus in particular on the use of the 4231 formation, which was the dominant formation at the start of this period but showed a gradual decline in use over time. I find that, as predicted, a manager's choice of whether to use 4231 or not is influenced by both their recent use of 4231 (personal information) and the use of 4231 in the entire population of managers in that division (social information). Contrary to expectations, managers appeared to rely more on personal than social information, although this estimate was highly variable across managers and divisions. Serie A managers, in particular, showed a much stronger use of personal information, likely due to the rarity of 4231 in that division. Finally, there did not appear to be an adaptive tradeoff between social and personal information use, with the relative reliance on each failing to predict managerial success.
Analysis on Validity and Reliability of Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ-II) Bahasa Indonesia Version
Authors: Setiawan Adib Rifqi , Saputri Wahyu Eka
Published: November 2019

Based on the perspective that motivation is an essential element for learning and academic achievement nor challenge that its components are not directly observable variables, we was empirically examined the instrument through rigorous survey data. The instrument used was Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ-II) that translated into Indonesian Language. The 4 expert judged my Indonesian translation version of SMQ-II and 206 students responded to this version. It assesses five motivation components: intrinsic motivation, self-determination, self-efficacy, career motivation, and grade motivation. The findings of this work show that the questionnaire is a valid and reliable and that the entire questionnaire can be completed in about 15 minutes. Through this work, we suggest my version of SMQ-II in Bahasa Indonesia can be used as an efficient instrument for assessing components of students’ motivation to learn science in Indonesia secondary school.

Published: November 2019

Background and Aims: Despite improvements in clinical care, evidence from both industrialized and developing countries indicates that the prevalence of subclinical cardiac dysfunction in individuals with well-controlled HIV infection may approach 50% and represent a newly recognized comorbid condition. The aim of our study was to reveal abnormalities in cardiac function using conventional transthoracic echocardiography and left ventricular strain imaging in HIV infected patients without cardiovascular disease.

Methods: This was a hospital based, single center descriptive cross-sectional comparative study conducted in National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS), Bir Hospital which included HIV patients with baseline examination including a patient medical history, clinical examination, baseline CD4 count, viral load and a standardized transthoracic echocardiography and strain imaging examination and the findings were compared among age and sex frequency matched healthy adult population.

Results: Our study enrolled 142 patients out of which 95 HIV positive patients (mean age 36.7±9.2 years with 58% female) and 47 healthy control (mean age 33.7±8 years with 57.4% female). The median duration of HIV diagnosis was 7 years (IQR 2, 10) and median CD4 count was 464 cells/mm3 (IQR 259,750). There was no significant difference in conventional echocardiographic parameters between two groups except for transmitral E velocity that was lower in HIV group (P value of 0.001). The HIV population has lower mean global longitudinal strain (GLS) value of -19.92% ± 2.54 SD compared to the healthy control population with mean of -21.39% ± 1.54 SD(P value of 0.001) and patients with CD4 count less than 300 cell/mm3 had GLS value significantly lower than -18% (P value of 0.05).

Conclusion: HIV infected population without established cardiovascular disease have subclinical left ventricular dysfunction revealed by GLS imaging technique.
High dose versus low dose Aspirin after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Rajbhandari Rajib , Tamrakar Rikesh , Limbu Yuba Raj , Singh Satish , KC Sanjay Singh
Published: November 2019

Background and Aims: Patients with Coronary artery disease who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are prescribed with maintenance aspirin dose that vary between 75 mg to 300 mg daily. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of high dose versus low dose aspirin doses prescribed on hospital discharge in PCI.

Methods: All the patients who had undergone PCI at our hospital from 2017 February to October 2017 were enrolled in the study. They were divided into two groups receiving low dose (<200mg) aspirin and high dose (>200mg) aspirin. Patients were interviewed on phone after completion of one year for the possible complications and new ischemic events during the follow up period.

Results: Among 150 patients selected 101 fulfilled the criteria and sixty patients (59.4%) were discharged on low-dose aspirin 75-150mg and 41 patients (40.6%) were discharged on high-dose aspirin of 300mg. The mean age in low aspirin group was 59.8±13.19 years and 49.4±10.7 years in high aspirin group. Although high aspirin dose patients did not complain of epigastric pain more often, upper GI bleeding was significantly higher in high aspirin group 7.5% vs 11.1% (p<0.05). One patient in high aspirin group had hemorrhagic stroke while low aspirin group had none. One patient in high aspirin had sudden cardiac death at home. Clinically, there was no significant difference in new ischemic events during follow up period.

Conclusion: In patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI, discharge on high-dose rather than low-dose aspirin may increase the rate of bleeding without providing additional ischemic benefit.
Prevalence of Gestational Diabetes, Risk Factors and its Outcome in a Tertiary Hospital
Authors: Shreshta Biloni , Shrestha A.
Published: November 2019

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. GDM increases the risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcome and increases risk of diabetes in mother and child in the future. Prevalence of GDM is increasing all over the world. This is hospital based cross sectional study done in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital to find out the prevalence of GDM and to trace maternal and fetal risk factors and adverse outcome. In this study, 600 pregnant women were enrolled during 2016-17. Among them 27 (4.5%) were found to have GDM. Among GDM, four (14.4%) were ≥ 35 years old and six (22.2%) had BMI of ≥ 25 kg/m2. Caesarean section was more common mode of delivery in women with GDM than without (51.9% vs 22.2%). Increased prevalence shown in this study necessitates universal screening of GDM.
Life-threatening Tracheostomy Site Bleeding from Granulation Tissue Mimicking Tracheo-innominate fistula
Authors: Paudel Sangya , Ranabhat K. , Devkota U.P.
Published: November 2019

Tracheostomy is a common life- saving procedure carried out for variety of indications. Of the various complications, profuse stomal bleeding could either be due to granulation tissues or major vessel fistula. We report one such case where there was repeated profuse bleeding mimicking tracheo-innominate fistula. A preliminary CT-angiogram was done, that ruled out fistula and it was safely tackled by bipolar diathermy in the operating theater. Had it been the alternative diagnosis it would definitely require a vascular surgeon. Thus CT-angiogram could be a useful investigation to pin down the cause and appropriate management
Dynamics of contraceptive use among young women in Nepal
Authors: Kafle Ramesh Babu
Published: November 2019

This paper examines the dynamics of contraceptive use of currently married young women (age 15-24) in Nepal by analyzing the trends and differentials in contraceptive use, the changes in method mix and the determinants of contraceptive use by selected socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. The reasons of non-use of contraception are also assessed. Data from the three rounds of nationally representative Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2001, 2006 and 2011 are used. Currently married women aged 15-24 are selected and included in analysis. Study sample constitute 2573, 2398 and 2552 eligible women in NDHS 2001, 2006 and 2011 respectively. Use of contraception among young couples is gradually increasing in almost all subgroups of population in Nepal, with narrowing differentials by education and economic condition of household. Tendency of starting contraceptives before having a child is also emerging. There is declining share of sterilization among youth indicating either a probable shifting in age at sterilization or more favour towards temporary methods. Injection has the highest share in all the three surveys. The share of long acting temporary methods (IUD and Implants) is quite small and almost same in all the three surveys. Couples still feel safe to start using contraceptives after having at least one son however, the differences are declining. Reasons for non-use like fear of side effects and opposition to use are sharply declining over time but that due to husband’s absence is emerging as almost a sufficient reason for non-use of contraception among young married women in Nepal. The family planning program should focus on meeting the family planning needs of young couples of all strata of population with special thrust on those women whose husbands are currently in foreign country so that they would be able to avoid unintended pregnancy on their husband’s come back.
Women's autonomy and utilization of maternal health care services in rural Nepal
Authors: Lamichhane Kamala
Published: November 2019

Nepal has one of the highest maternal mortality ratios in South Asia although the situation is improving in recent days. One of the reasons for such a high mortality may be attributed to the under-utilization of modern maternal health services during pregnancy. This study has analyzed the relationship between women’s autonomy and the utilization of maternal health care services in order to explore some possible reasons for the under-utilization of the services. Data from the Nepal demographic and Health Survey, 2011 is used for the study. The analysis is based on 2374 married women aged 15-49 years who had given a live birth during three years preceding the survey. Women's household decision making power, control over use of earning and decision on using contraception have been used to explore the indicators of women's autonomy. Logistic regression is used to assess the net effect of several independent variables on two dependent variables (adequate antenatal care and institutional delivery) of maternal health care. Logistic regression analyses reveal that the utilization of both maternal health care services are related to women's autonomy as indicated by decision making power on own health care, large household purchases and control over earnings because financial sufficiency is must at that period. Women's’ decision-making power appears to be the most powerful predictors for increasing maternal health service utilization. The study results suggest that policy actions that increase women’s autonomy at home could be effective in helping assure good maternal health.
Uncompromising Affirmation of Culture: Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman
Authors: Khanal Nagarjun
Published: November 2019

Whole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman is the convergence of two issues: the first focuses on the Yoruba priest Elesin, who represents the embodiment of the mythology and the history of the people; the second concentrates on the “sterile, existential wasteland” (Ralph-Bowman, 1983) of the white colonialists. The two issues come into conflict in the sacrifice of Elesin’s European-educated son, Olunde, whose death represents a significant and uncom promising affirmation of Yoruba cultural tradition. The sacrifice ofolunde, though appears as metaphysical, is entirely secular and practical. Hedies to preserve the safety of his community and his action can be appreciated as a form of martyrdom. Olunde’s sacrifice symbolizes an act that asserts the value of higher duty against both the internal threat of materialistic self-interest and the external threat of an imposed alien culture.
Role of NGOs, CBOs and Private Organizations for Efficient Management of Municipal Solid Waste in Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Bhattarai Ram Chandra
Published: November 2019

This paper attempts to discuss the role of Community based, nongovernmental and private institutions for the management of municipal solid waste in Kathmandu Valley. It is based on secondary information available from different sources. Studies reveal that private institutions, Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Non Governmental Organizations are collecting about 60% of the total waste generated within Kathmandu Valley from door-to-door of the generators. These institutions are also contributing to reduce about 40% of the municipal cost for the collection of waste. Study reveals that household segregation and compositing is considered as the best option for the efficient management of municipal solid waste in the cities of developing countries like Kathmandu. This is possible only through the involvement of CBOs, NGOs and private sector.

Veterinary Student Stress, the Benefit of Canine Pets, and Potential Institutional Support of Dog Ownership
Authors: Kogan Lori R. , Schoenfeld-Tacher Regina , Hellyer Peter , Rishniw Mark
Published: November 2019

The stress of veterinary school and the high prevalence of psychological distress among veterinary students have been well documented. Pet ownership is known to improve overall health and reduce stress among the public. Yet, for veterinary students, owning a pet (especially a dog) can offer both rewards and challenges. The academic schedule for veterinary students often comprises long hours that can make caring for a dog challenging. This study explores the area of veterinary students’ dog care options and perspectives by examining two aspects of this issue: (a) currently available options, as reported by academic administrators, and (b) perceived need for these options, as reported by veterinary students. A survey of associate deans for academic affairs ( n = 30) found that routine on-site kenneling options for student-owned dogs are available at eight (26.6%) veterinary schools. Simultaneously, results of a student survey ( n = 768) revealed a great desire for on-campus services. Among students who did not have access to on-campus kenneling facilities, 71.5% (453 of 634) felt that creating these options would be important or very important. Across all students surveyed, 76% (581 of 764) felt it would be important to have on-site dog housing/care available. Students experience considerable stress over having to find accommodations or care for their dogs while engaged in academic activities. Thus, providing on-site boarding and care options for student-owned dogs can play an important role in both recruiting prospective veterinary students and enhancing the well-being of those currently in the program.

Authors: Mohamed Lawsha , Binti Tunku Ahmad Tunku Badariah
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this study was to construct validate an effective instrument to measure teachers’ professional agency and factors influencing it. The validity and reliability of the instrument were tested using exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis. Ninety-four items were developed for initial instrument based on ecological model of teachers’ professional agency as the conceptual model. An exploratory factor analysis revealed that nine factor structure of the instrument explained 76.37% of the variance in the pattern of relationships among the items. All the nine factors had high reliabilities (all Cronbach’s alpha greater than .791). Fifty-three items remained in the final questionnaire after deleting items with cross-loadings on multiple factors and loadings below .5. Hence this study confirmed a nine-factor structure of the instrument. This instrument could be used to gain a better understanding of the factors influencing teachers’ professional agency during a curriculum reform.

The article presents the main factors affecting the buckling when drilling vertical wells. The authors study analytically the effect of the weight on the bit and the force of the interaction of a drill string with a borehole wall using a uniform-sized arrangement of the bottom-hole assembly and the borehole wall which is located in a deviated wellbore when drilling in isotropic rocks in case the drilling direction coincides with the direction of the force acting on the bit. Differential equations of the elastic axis of the drill string are worked out. The solutions of these equations have given nondimensional dependences between the technological parameters. The authors have obtained the graphical dependences of the distance from the bit to the “drill string - borehole wall” contact point and the normal reaction of the bottom to the bit and the “drill string - borehole wall” clearance. The dependence for identifying the drilling anisotropy index in oblique beds is obtained. An interrelation between the anisotropy drilling index, the zenith angle, the bedding angle, the bottom-hole assembly, the borehole dimensions and the axial weight on the bit has been established. The authors have studied analytically the effect of the weight on the bit and the force of the “drill string - borehole wall” interaction, when installing the centralizer to the bottom-hole assembly. The differential equations of the elastic axis of the drill string with the centralizer in the bottom-hole assembly are obtained. It is established that with the increase in the axial weight on the bit and the “drill collars - borehole wall” clearance, the distance from the bit to the contact point of the borehole wall decreases; whereas with the increase of the deviation angle and the clearance, the pressure force of the column on the walls increases. It has also been established that the anisotropy drilling index reduces the distance from the bit to the point contact both in a slick BHA and in the bottom hole assembly with the centralizer. The presence of a centralizer in the bottom hole assembly increases the distance from the bit to the contact point between the string and the borehole wall, makes it possible to increase the weight on the bit without the risk of increasing a deviation angle.
PENGEMBANGAN HUKUM ISLAM PERSPEKTIF FILSAFAT

In the concept of Islamic law, the discussion of Islamic law, the discussion of law covers matters relating to the term law, judge, mahkum fih, and mahkum alaih. The first thing that needs to be explained is not the law, but the judge, that is the party who sets the law or the law maker and determines the merits of an act. In the principles of Islamic law, the Judge is Allah SWT. The reason that the first judge must be discussed is because without a judge there is no Islamic law.

In reality, now MLM company have been many of the grown and well developed in the country and overseas. Even in indonesia that there is in publicly declared that MLM is in line with and get certification from the board of Dewan Syariah National Majelis Ulama Indonesia (DSN-MUI). Trading system the multilevel marketing (MLM) should be conducted by means of capture of a borrower that also functioned as consumers and member of the employers in the form of MLM. Islamic principal about the development of business systems that should be free of elements dharar (danger), jahalah (obscurity) and zhulm (hurt them or not fair with one party). Hence, the bonuses system has to be fair, did not wrong and not only benefits of the.Business also should be free of elements maysir (gambling), gharar (fraud), unlawful, interest rate, and false. So if we want to do business MLM so should be free from the elements. Hence, goods or services are offered and procedures for sale must be allowed, not syubhat and not opposed to Islamic principal.

Waqaf can be one solution to improve national development instruments. where endowments have a strategic role in improving the welfare of the people. Waqaf can help improve the quality of education, poverty alleviation, public health and help improve the economy of the community. In Indonesia, the practice of waqaf is still fairly unrealized. This is based on a lack of understanding of the meaning, purpose, form of endowments by the community. Especially in rural areas that basically their understanding is still mixed with classical understanding. Where if you want to carry out waqf, then you must have vacant land as an item to be represented. By cultivating waqaf like saving will make some people begin to be interested in doing it. At present there are many social activities that can improve the welfare of the community with waqaf.
REKONSTRUKSI US}U>>L AL-FIQH MUHAMMAD HASHIM KAMALI

The science of us {u> l al-Fiqh as a theory of Islamic law in its development at this time continues to be made efforts to improve by experts, both in terms of the formation of the appearance of the theory chart to the basic concepts of thought. Muhammad Hashim Kamali is one of the figures recognized as having new ideas in reconstructing Islamic legal theory. Kamali offers the chart design of us {u> l al-Fiqh by combining two approaches, namely the doctriner-normative approach and the empirical-historical approach. The doctrinaire-normative approach is the basic concept of us {u> l al-Fiqh as it is directed in the discourse of classical ulama thought. While the empirical-historical approach is a new format that has become a trend of study in the contemporary era. From the research the authors conclude that basically the Kamali formula theory design displays the reconstruction of us {u> l al-Fiqh in a simplified style of normative materials of us {u> l al-Fiqh accompanied by the appearance of new formations and actual explanations. Reconstruction of this model can be a reference in efforts to restore the main function of us {u> l al-Fiqh as an applicable Islamic legal theory.
