Authors: Panta Hari Krishna , Thapa Sulochana , Poudel Srijana
Published: September 2023

Recent agricultural policies of Nepal prioritize subsidy programs. However, there has always been concern about the realistic assessment of the economic implications of subsidy programs. This study was carried out to assess the effect of agricultural subsidy on farm income in the Makwanpur and Dhading districts of Nepal. Altogether 120 households from Thaha-2 of Makwanpur and Benighat Rorang-7 of Dhading were selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Descriptive statistical tools, correlation analysis, independent sample t-test, and multiple linear regression were used to analyse the data. Among the total sampled households, 54.17% had access to at least one agricultural subsidy program. The result revealed that farm income was the primary source of household income, contributing 64.17% to total household income. Pearson product correlation shows positive and statistically significant relation between subsidy and technology adoption, technology adoption and annual farm income, subsidy and annual farm income. The estimates of multiple regression coefficients show that subsidy had a significant (p< 0.01) and positive effect on the annual farm income of commercial vegetable farmers. Also, the area under cultivation was a highly significant (p<0.01) factor influencing the farm income. From the independent t-test, the annual farm income of subsidy recipients and non-recipients was found significantly different (p<0.01). So, this study suggests the concerned stakeholders to identify the most needed and best-suited technologies and implement the subsidy program accordingly to boost the annual farm income of commercial vegetable farmers.

Transparency and Accountability in The Indian Judicial System: A Renewed Debate on Collegium System
Authors: Dwivedi Vibhantika
Published: September 2023

Accountability is the sine qua non of democracy. Transparency facilitates accountability. In a democratic state, every wing of state needs to be accountable and should have transparency in working to establish trust among people. Judiciary is the most important institution of the democratic state. Constitutional framers turned judiciary into the last bastion of hope. So judiciary should compulsorily have the features of transparency and accountability in its regime. The research paper progresses on the same premise. The judges of the higher courts in India, their salary and assets, their promotion, transfer all have been questioned in the recent times. A judicial construction of basic structure doctrine and collegium system for the higher judiciary finds no place in the actual text of the Constitution. There is serious clout over working of this judicially created phenomenon. For example in recent times, the promotion of few judges of the High Court to the Supreme Court was not confirmed by the Central Government despite reiteration by the Collegium. What makes the issue more serious is that the Collegium made other recommendations leaving those judges to retire. What was the rational applied? What was the opinion of the Collegium? This all is not known to anyone leaving to the serious doubt regarding the transparency of the institutions. The research paper investigates into the same issue, discusses the related case laws, and presents a solution and recommendation.

Authors: Muralidhar Suripeddi , K Ramya. , Narayana T. V.
Published: September 2023

Oral dissolving films (ODFs) are thin, flexible, and fast-dissolving sheets that can deliver active substances to the oral cavity. They offer several advantages over conventional oral dosage forms, such as ease of swallowing, precise dosing, improved patient compliance, and rapid onset of action. ODFs can be used for various therapeutic applications, such as anti-ulcer, anti-asthmatic, antihistamine, and analgesic drugs. This review article presents a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements in ODF formulation, manufacturing techniques, and their diverse applications in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical fields. The formulation of ODFs involves the selection of suitable polymers, plasticizers, surfactants, flavours, and sweeteners. The polymers are the main component that determines the mechanical properties, disintegration time, and drug release profile of the films. The plasticizers are added to improve the flexibility and elasticity of the films. The surfactants are used to enhance the solubility and permeability of the drugs. The flavours and sweeteners are used to mask the unpleasant taste of the drugs and improve the palatability of the films. The production methods of ODFs include solvent casting, hot melt extrusion, and roll casting. These methods differ in terms of the equipment, process parameters, and film quality. Each technique's advantages, limitations, and potential for scalability are outlined, providing insight into the critical factors influencing ODF development. In summary, this review article provides a comprehensive overview of the recent progress in ODF technology, encompassing formulation optimization, manufacturing advancements, and innovative applications. As the field of oral dissolving films continues to evolve, this article offers valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical industry stakeholders seeking to harness the full potential of this versatile drug delivery platform.

Published: September 2023

Balanced incomplete block design is an incomplete block design in which any two varieties appear together an equal number of times. In algebra, the existence of block design is closely related to balanced incomplete block design. To ascertain the claim, this research aim to employ some algebraic structures to examine whether or not balanced incomplete block design is related to the above statement. The methods adopted are finite group, ring and field algebra. The result shows that balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) cannot form a finite group under multiplication binary operation, but it is for additive case. It is also revealed that balanced incomplete block design is not a field algebra in both binary operations no matter the size of the design, but it is a ring in all cases. In conclusion, BIBD of the form (X,B) is a semigroup, commutative group, semiring, commutative ring and subfield in both binary operations. Several theorems with proofs have been established in harmony with the algebraic structure mentioned above.

Published: September 2023

The West African Examination Council chief examiners’ reports repeatedly indicated that B.E.C.E. and W.A.S.S.C.E. candidates have been exhibiting weaknesses in locating points, plotting points and reading rigid motion graphs, hence the need for the conduct of this study to determine the factors responsible for students’ weakness in rigid motion. This qualitative study employed a case study design using a sample size of sixteen (16) comprising five B.E.C.E. candidates, five W.A.S.S.C.E. candidates and six experienced mathematics teachers who have taught mathematics for at least seven years. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were employed in the selection of the sample size. Interview guide was used to collect data for the study and the collected data was analysed thematically. It was found that little or late exposure of students to the topic, lack of teaching and learning materials and rote learning or memorization were contributory factors to students’ weakness in rigid motion. It was therefore recommended that the mathematics curriculum be structured in a way that students will gain the needed exposure in rigid motion and other graph related topics as early as possible. Also, schools, Ghana Education Service, the government, philanthropists and all stakeholders in education should come to the aid of teachers and students by providing graph boards, laptops and projectors for teachers and also providing graph books for students to enable them have frequent practice in rigid motion and other graph related topics.

The study examined the nexus between boss-driven development and employee commitment in telecommunication firms in Nigeria. Boss-driven development is a development process whereby the direction and priorities that accelerate professional growth are determined by the boss; and employee commitment is the extent to which employees are willing to invest their time, effort, and energy to contribute to the success and well-being of the organization. The study was based on four selected telecommunication companies in Port Harcourt with a sample size of 226 telecommunication staff selected from a population of 550 staff. Data collected were analyzed using Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient with SPSS version 21. It was found that boss-driven development leads to employee commitment. Therefore, we conclude that boss-driven development brings about employee commitment. Based on the above conclusion, it was recommended that telecommunication firms should encourage the boss-driven development of their employee to ensure employee commitment.
Determination of bio-accumulated Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb in a wild plant Lantana camara L. Verbenaceae, grown on waste dump site and assessment of its phyto-extraction potential for studied metals
Authors: Awasthi Alok
Published: September 2023

The inputs of chemical fertilizers, street runoffs and regular use of heavy metal contaminated water to irrigate farm crops may result in elevated levels of heavy metals in agri-soil. The food crops growing on such soils may selectively bio-accumulate these metals, which usually depend on the concerned plant’s bio- accumulation potential for concerned metal and characteristics of the soil. This study was aimed to evaluate the bio-accumulation of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb in the root, stem and leaves of the wild plant Lantana camara L., Verbenaceae, grown on waste dump site, by analyzing levels of studied metals in soil and plant parts. The bio-concentration factors (BCFs) and translocation factors (TFs) for metals under study were also evaluated, to find out the suitability of Lantana plant for phytoextration of the tested metals. The observed order of metal concentrations in soil samples was Pb (8.91± 0.54) > Cr (6.42 ±0.43) >Cu (1.91± 0.17) > Ni (1.42± 0.13) > Cd (0.86± 0.09, mg/Kg). The observed levels of studied metals in roots, stem and leaves of Lantana were, Pb(8.73±0.32)> Cr (2.96± 0.18)> Cu (2.16±0.15)> Ni (1.38±0.12)>Cd (0.54±0.03mg/kg); Pb(5.18±0.24)>Cr (3.18±0.18)>Cu (2.42±0.17) >Ni (1.49±0.12) >Cd (0.28±0.02, mg/Kg) and Pb (6.07±0.27)> Cr (1.30±0.13) >Cu (0.88±0.07) Ni (0.16±0.02) >Cd (0.10 ±0.01, mg/Kg), respectively. The bio-concentration factors for Lantana from soil to roots (BCFRoot) and from roots to shoots (BCFShoot) for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb were 0.63, 0.46, 1.13, 0.97 (~ 1.00) and 0.98 (~ 1.00) and 0.70, 1.51, 1.49, 1.20 and 1.29, respectively. The translocation factors from root to stem (TFStem) and from stem to leaves (TFLeaf) for tested metals in Lantana camara were, 0.52, 1.07, 1.12, 1.08, 0.59 and 0.36, 0.41, 0.36, 0.11, 1.17, respectively. Thus, the recorded BCF values, mostly being >1, makes Lantana suitable for phyto-extraction of tested metals from agri-soil and medium to good translocation factors (TF) suggested the potential of the plant to translocate the tested metals into the stem and leaves.

The article presents the issue of social security, both on the basis of national, as well as international and EU regulations. It was pointed out that due to the fact that the constitution does not indicate the scope and form of the right to social security, it can be assumed that it also covers new methods of legal protection mitigating the effects of social risks (e.g. funded pension schemes). At the same time, it was pointed out that the legislator’s freedom in shaping the content of social rights is subject to significant restrictions, despite the fact that the legislator left freedom in this respect to the legislator who is to define the elements of the right to social security. Considerations in the national, international and EU aspects were supported by case law.

Published: September 2023

Political Geography is a branch of science that has started to make a name for itself, especially in the last years of the 19th century all over the world. Ottoman Sultan II. Abdulhamid Khan was the leading actor of the world political scene in those years. He was an important personage influencing world politics in the years when such a science emerged. Examining the II. Abdulhamid period will certainly attract attention. Socio-cultural power, which has an important place in political geography, the characteristics of the human who make up a nation are the power formed by educated people equipped with technical knowledge. In a sense, it means that the citizens of the state are well educated from the lowest level to the person who governs the state. From this point of view, Sultan II. Abdulhamid Han was a very perfect carpenter. He also used this carpentry profession in state administration. Because the job of the carpenter is to create perfect furniture sets from raw wood. While governing his state, he showed the whole world that the Ottoman Empire was not destroyed by correcting the unsound parts of the state. After he was dethroned, the collapse of the state accelerated, and those who dethroned him desired for him to come back to power.

Lombok Island, particularly the southern central part of Lombok, often experiences droughts that result in failed cultivation or harvests due to the El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomena. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the forecasting skill or predictive ability of a seasonal climate prediction system using the ENSO indicator in the Central Lombok regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province. This study employs a descriptive method by comparing the average rainfall in El Nino years with non-El Nino years. The research is conducted in the Central Lombok regency, which is divided into the northern and southern parts. The data used includes monthly precipitation recorded by BMKG for approximately 50 years (1970-2019) in all districts of Central Lombok. The SOI data is accessed at http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/soi2.shtml. The results of this study indicate that the use of the ENSO indicator to forecast seasonal rainfall patterns in the Central Lombok regency shows high consistency and significant predictive ability. There is no significant difference in the predictive ability and consistency of the forecast results between the northern and southern parts of Central Lombok. In general, the predictive ability during the dry season exhibits higher consistency (25%) compared to the rainy season (14%).
SEJARAH PEMIKIRAN AL-QURAN PERIODE KLASIK
Authors: Muhammad Amin
Published: September 2023

Artikel ini difokuskan pada kajian sejarah pemikiran al-Quran periode klasik yang meliputi sejarah pembukuan al-Quran, sejarah penafsiran al-Quran, sejarah ‘ulumul Quran, dan sejarah sosial al-Quran. Sejarah pembukuan al-Quran telah berlangsung sejak masa penurunan al-Quran itu sendiri melalui para kuttab al-wahyi, dibukukan menjadi satu mushaf pada era Abu Bakar atas saran dari Umar, dan diseragamkan cara membacanya pada era Utsman ibn ‘Affan melalui kepanitiaan Zaid ibn Tsabit, serta disempurnakan tanda bacanya oleh Abu al-Aswad, Nashr ibn ‘Ashim, dan Yahya ibn ‘Amir. Penafsiran al-Quran bermula sejak era nabi, diteruskan oleh para shahabat, dan dilembagakan melalui madrasah tafsir oleh para Tabi’in. Dari segi ‘ulumul quran, cabang kajian yang terlembaga pada periode klasik adalah qiraat al-Quran atau ragam cara baca al-Quran. Sementara secara sosial, respon masyarakat terhadap al-Quran pada era klasik dapat dibagi menjadi tiga yaitu golongan yang menolak otentisitas al-Quran, golongan yang mengakui keindahan dan kemukjizatan al-Quran, serta golongan yang sangat mencintai dan menghormati al-Quran.

Published: September 2023

Tafsir Maqa>s{idi> sebagai salah satu alternatif penasiran yang dianggap imbang dalam menyikapi teks dan konteks tidak serta merta menempati posisi urgennya di zaman kontemporer ini. Ada dinamika yang cukup panjang, bermula kajian Maqa>s}id dari ranah Us}u>l Fikih hingga menyentuh tafsir Al-Qur’an. Dalam rentang dinamikanya, Nawawi al-Bantani juga hadir sebagai mufassir yang menggunakan Tafsir Maqa>s{idi> melalui kitab tafsirnya, Mara>h} Labi>d. Artikel ini berusaha mengelaborasi hadirnya Tafsir Maqa>s}idi> dalam ayat-ayat Ah}ka>m surah al-Baqarah. Nawawi al-Bantani dalam tema ayat salat, puasa, pemeliharaan Baitullah, perpindahan arah kiblat, pernikahan lintas agama, dan kisas menggunakan Tafsir Maqa>s{idi>. Penafsiran tersebut dianalisa menggunakan intertekstualitas Julia Kristeva untuk menemukan teks rujukan Nawawi al-Bantani dan ideologemenya. Hadirnya Tafsir Maqa>s{idi> dalam Mara>h} Labi>d disebabkan rujukan langsung Nawawi al-Bantani dari tafsir Mafa>ti>h} al-Ghaib karya al-Razi. Ar-Razi sebagai seorang mufassir yang berkontribusi dalam perkembangan Maqa>s}id al-Qur’an mempengaruhi Nawawi al-Bantani dalam memproduksi Tafsir Maqa>s{idi> dalam Mara>h} Labi>d. Alasan rujukan Nawawi al-Bantani juga berkaitan dengan tafsir ar-Razi sebagai tafsir ensiklopedik yang dijadikan rujukan banyak mufassir suni setelahnya
POLIGAMI DALAM TRADISI TAFSIR DAN RELEVANSINYA TERHADAP BANGSA INDONESIA
Authors: Aghnia Faradits
Published: September 2023

Poligami yang hingga  saat ini masih hangat  dbahas, apalagi sekarang para ‘pelaku’ banyak mendirikan lembaga khusus seolah menandakan bahwa poligami dianjurkan bahkan mendekati wajib, Sebenarnya beberapa tahun pasca wafatnya Nabi Muhammad, para mufassir sudah menafsirkan ayat poligami (an-Nisa’:3) untuk kemudian dicari asbab annuzul, tasir hinngga hikmah yang di dapat. Salah satu Mufassir  yang turut menafsirkan ayat ini adalah Muhammad Abduh dalam karya tafsirnya al-Manar. Muhammad Abduh berkata: “Siapa yang merenungkan dua ayat tersebut (QS. Al-Nisâ’ [4]: 3 & 129), maka ia akan tahu bahwa ruang kebolehan berpoligami dalam Islam adalah ruang sempit. Seakan-akan ia merupakan suatu darurat yang hanya bisa dibolehkan bagi yang membutuhkannya dengan syarat yang bersangkutan diyakini bisa menegakkan keadilan dan tidak mungkin melakukan kezaliman.  Ia juga menuturkan bahwa ruang kebolehan berpoligami itu adalah ruang sempit. Selain itu Perundang-Undangan Republik Indonesia sebenarnya sudah menjelaskan dalam beberapa pasal untuk dijadikan pedoman jika ingin berpoligami. Lantas apakah UUD Republik Indonesia sejalan dengan penafsiran para mufassir klasik dan kontemporer?

Poor financing quality can affect company profits and revenues, decreased profits have an impact on the ability of banks to channel financing which causes Islamic banking to experience financing risks or problematic financing. This study aims to find out how the independent variables (MSME financing and liquidity) influence the dependent variable (financing risk) of Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia for the 2019-2021 period. The method used in this study is quantitative with descriptive statistics, the classic assumption test, namely the normality test, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity test, is also equipped with hypothesis testing, namely the t (partial) test and f (simultaneous) test. The population used in this study is the statistical financial reports of Islamic commercial banks with samples of MSME, FDR and NPF data for 2019-2021 obtained from the Financial Services Authority. From OJK data, the results show that MSME financing does not have a significant effect on financing risk because there is a guarantee from the government to the community, namely the people's business credit program (KUR) which is channeled through Islamic banking institutions, good and bad bank liquidity does not have an impact on financing risks and financing risks occur because problematic financing from customers is not caused by Islamic banking institutions or liquidity owned by Islamic banking. The conclusion of this study is that the Ho hypothesis is accepted, showing that one or both of the independent variables (MSME financing and liquidity) have no effect on the dependent variable (financing risk) of Islamic general banks in Indonesia for the 2019-2021 period.
