Ottoman Civilization and Its Impact in Contemporary Malaysia: An Evaluation
Authors: Gokaru Shuaibu Umar , (Corresponding Author) Mohd Roslan Mohd Nor , Abdul Hamid Faisal @ Ahmad Faisal
Published: July 2023

The Ottoman Empire is a multi-cultural and multi-lingual empire that influenced not only the Muslim Nations but even non-Muslims, particularly in Europe. This might have been achieved because of the direct and indirect connection between the Ottomans and the nations. In this regard, Malaysia is not an exception. Although various authors and academics contributed to analysing issues relating to the connection between the Malay Archipelago and the Ottomans, particularly on diplomatic relations, the details of the impacts of Ottoman civilizations in contemporary Malaysia have been largely overlooked. This idea generated interest in the topic. This research, therefore, intends to evaluate the impact of Ottoman civilizations on religion, education, science, and technology in contemporary Malaysia. The research uses qualitative methods in the form of historical research. The usage of documentary method is used for data collection and evaluation. The findings reveal that Ottoman civilization had a lasting impact on contemporary Malaysia, especially in education and religion in which a special prayer is recited for the well-being of Sultan at the end of the Khutbah of every Jumu’ah Prayer. In addition, the findings show that the impact of Ottoman civilization on contemporary Malaysia is exemplified in science and technology, as well as the architectural building of the Mosque in which Masjid Wilayah, Kuala Lumpur Mosque is called a Turkish Mosque because of its design which has huge resemblance to the Masjid Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and International Islamic University, Malaysia (IIUM) represents the Ottoman symbols. On the other hand, Johor, a state in the south of Malaysia represents the Ottoman civilization more than any ex-provinces of the Ottoman territories. Finally, the findings indicate that the provision of conveniences (toilets) in public places, in Malaysian Mosques, Markets, and Supermarkets whether owned by Muslims or non-Muslims, are all influenced by the Ottoman civilizations. This research, therefore, recommends that researchers should further look at other aspects within the city and its outskirt to identify the impact of the Ottoman civilization on contemporary Malaysia.

The First “Thick” Journal in Russia: To the 220th Anniversary of Nikolay Karamzin’s “Vestnik Evropy”
Authors:   St. Petersburg Institute of Business and Innovation, Kafanova Olga B.
Published: July 2023

The article analyzes the content of Nikolay Karamzin’s “Vestnik Evropy.” Two sections — “Politics” and “Literature and Miscellanea” — contained a variety of material that Karamzin drew from foreign periodicals from different countries. Translations, which he did for 20 years, and a good knowledge of journals and newspapers in Europe, helped him create an example of a socio-political and literary periodical. The article examines the content of political articles devoted to the events of European life during the difficult socio-political situation of the early 19th century. Turning to various primary sources and serious foreign analysts, Karamzin deliberately set a polemical discourse in the journal, in which he himself took part as a commentator. The article traces evolution of Karamzin’s attitude towards Napoleon and notes that admiration for the deeds of the commander and statesman is replaced by disappointment and skepticism after the proclamation of his “eternal consulate.” Throughout 1803, the “Vestnik Evropy” published many materials on the successes of education and charity in Russia. The author of the article notes that Karamzin managed to lay the foundations for future “thick” Russian journals of the 19th century.
A Sensitive Author and a Strict Historian in the Essay by N. M. Karamzin “On the Moscow Rebellion in the Reign of Alexei Mikhailovich”
Authors:   Ulyanovsk State University of Education, Sapchenko Liubov A.
Published: July 2023

The article undertakes a study of Karamzin’s historical essays published in the “Vestnik Evropy” (1802–1803) and representing various modifications of the image of a historian (“smart historian,” “timid historian,” “impartial historian,” “frivolous historian,” ёёёёёёё“strict historian” and etc.). Referring to the essay “On the Moscow Rebellion in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich” allows the author of the article to assert that on the eve of writing his historical work, Karamzin creates an image of an alien flattery and relying only on reliable evidence of the Russian Patriot Historian, whose word sounds like an incorruptible voice of truth not only in factological sense, but also in the state-patriotic one. According to the researcher’s observations, the analyzed essay is dominated by the point of view of a “strict historian,” who evaluates the activities of the ruler from the standpoint of national interests (“state morality”), which does not coincide with the perception of events by a sensitive author and marks an important milestone in Karamzin’s ideological evolution.

Published: July 2023

Regarding sugar and salt crystallization with large single crystals, the
agglomerate thermodynamics and geometric morphologies, not the dynamics,
dominate the particle size distribution (PSD). To consider this issue, a
PSD design model is proposed for limited large crystal agglomeration. In
this model, the agglomeration thermodynamic criticality is determined by
estimating the adhesion and dispersion forces between single crystals.
The geometric agglomerate morphologies are described by corresponding
single crystal units stacking with porosity. By seed well-controlled of
population, the key parameters of PSD (D01, D50 and D99) are precisely
designed. For erythritol, the model design accuracies are 92%-99% in
the 1.2 L and 10 L crystallizers, indicating that it can design PSD at
various crystallization scales. Concerning the general research
attention to microcrystal agglomeration kinetics (mostly active
pharmaceutical ingredients), this model effectively guides the sugar and
salt PSD design with limited large crystal agglomeration.

Published: July 2023

The issue of energy consumption has garnered significant interest due to
its excessive usage. Recently, thermoelectric devices have been getting
increased attention, as they can harness waste heat from various
sources, such as solar radiation, human body, and industrial processes.
Traditionally, the recovery of low-grade heat has been a challenge,
resulting in unsustainable energy use and significant losses. While
considerable advances have been made in thermoelectric materials in
recent decades, the majority of these devices still primarily employ
semiconductors. Nevertheless, the emergence of quasi-solid-state
thermoelectric materials represents a novel devel-opment with profound
promise for the environment and society. These materials offer several
advantages, such as improved energy conversion capacities,
cost-effectiveness, versatility, and scalability, to support increased
usage. Additionally, this review explores the application of
thermoelectric materials in self-powered sensors, integrated modules,
and heat harvesting management. Lastly, the po-tential of
high-performance thermocouples based on thermogalvanic effects is
assessed, along with the challenges that must be over-come to realize
this goal.

This study focuses on electron-selective passivating contacts for
crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells where an interlayer is used to
provide a low contact resistivity between the c-Si substrate and the
metal electrode. These electron contact interlayers are used in
combination with other passivating interlayers (e.g., a-Si:H,
TiO, and NbO) to
improve surface passivation whilst still permitting contact
resistivities suitable for high efficiency solar cells. We show that a
wide variety of thermally evaporated materials, most of which have ionic
character, enable an Ohmic contact between n-type c-Si and Al. From this
pool of compounds, we observed that CsBr has especially promising
behavior because of its excellent performance and thermal stability when
combined with thin passivating layers. With different test structures,
we were able to demonstrate low contact resistance using
TiO/CsBr, NbO/CsBr
and a-Si:H/CsBr stacks on n-type c-Si. The quality of the provided
surface passivation depended on the stack but we achieved the best
overall passivation stability with TiO/CsBr. Finally,
we were able to demonstrate an efficiency >20% on a
laboratory-scale solar cell that implements the
TiO/CsBr/Al stack as full-area rear side electron
selective contact.

Published: July 2023

(Micro)plastics are ubiquitous in our daily lives and are becoming a
global emerging pollutant with significant threat to ecosystem
sustainability. Within the field of soil erosion control engineering
(ECE) in China, a wide range of plastic products, such as plastic mesh,
planting bags, and plastic geocells, are extensively employed to stable
the topsoil and facilitate the restoration of disturbed land. In this
paper, we demonstrate the wide distribution of (micro)plastics in ECE
across varied landscapes in China, highlighting their relatively high
degradation rate induced by ultraviolet irradiation and mechanical
disturbance. Furthermore, (micro)plastics in ECE exhibit a propensity
for transport through soil erosion processes, thereby heightening the
pollution risk to aquatic ecosystems. While the presence of
(micro)plastics in ECE raises significant environmental concerns, there
could be straightforward and easily implementable preventive strategies.
These strategies include meticulous managing plastic usage during the
design and completion phases of ECE, replacing plastic materials with
biodegradable alternatives, and cleaning and retrieving temporary work
materials.

Authors: P.A Dinesh , K Roopa , V. Govindaraju M. , Yadav Sweeti , N MOHANDAS K
Published: July 2023

Hybrid Nano fluids (H.N.F.s) are crucial in engineering, biomedical and
industrial applications due to their high effective thermal conductivity
when compared to ordinary fluid and Nano fluid (N.F).The study of hybrid
Nano fluids (Cu and Al O ) has a good
application in blood flow through an artery. The impact of flow elements
on velocity, temperature and concentrations has been discussed through
graphs and values are tabulated. Copper and aluminum oxide comprises a
hybrid combination; their volume fractions ranging from 0.01 to 0.2. The
flow control equations were simplified before being coded and solved
using Maple software. Figures show the study’s key conclusions,
including the impact of several physical factors. With the aid of Tables
and Figures, the holds of physical parameters on the flow distributions
are demonstrated. In order to research the heat and mass phenomena
caused by the Dufour and Soret effect, water is utilized as the base
fluid and the hybrid nanoparticle of copper and alumina as the study
material. The Soret factor affects surface thermal efficiency, but the
Dufour effect limits surface mass transfer.

Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT The double-spined spruce bark beetle, Ips
duplicatus has become an infamous secondary pest of Norway spruce,
causing extensive ecological and economic destruction in many Central
European countries. Antennae are the primary olfactory organs that play
fundamental role in insect-host chemical communication; therefore,
understanding morphology is crucial before conducting
electrophysiological investigations. Here, we present our analysis of
sensilla types on the antennal surface of I. duplicatus for the
first time, using high-resolution-scanning electron microscopy. We
studied the external morphological characteristics of antennae and the
types, numbers, and distribution of the antennal sensilla in males and
females. Our results revealed the presence of five different types of
morphologically distinct sensilla: sensilla chaetica, sensilla
basiconica, sensilla trichodea, sensilla coeloconica, and Bӧhm’s
bristles. We observed two subtypes in sensilla chaetica (SChI and
SChII), four subtypes in sensilla basiconica (SBI, SBII, SBIII and
SBIV), three subtypes in sensilla trichodea (STrII, STrIII and STrIV)
and two subtypes in sensilla coeloconica (SCoI and SCoII), respectively
in I. duplicatus males and females. Minor differences in length
and numbers between the sexes for some sensilla types were found.
Distribution maps for different sensillar types were constructed and
specific areas for the respective sensilla were found. Possible
functions of observed sensilla types are discussed. The present study
provides a basis for future electrophysiological studies aimed at
understanding how I. duplicatus detects ecologically important
olfactory cues.
Acinetobacter baumannii: a virulent pathogen in Device-associated Infections its adhesion associated virulence, biofilm formation, and antibiotic resistance
Authors: Rajangam Seetha Lakshmi , Narasimhan Manoj Kumar
Published: July 2023

Acinetobacter baumannii is a crucial pathogen of nosocomial infection
and an alarming threat to the medical community due to the high rate of
mortality worldwide. Because of its highly contagious, biofilm-forming
nature, virulence characteristics, and multi-drug resistance (MDR), it
has been recognized as a red-alert pathogen on a global scale. The main
components which strengthen the pathogenicity of A. baumannii are
complex gram-negative cell wall structure and specialized virulence
factors which facilitate its adhesion and infection spread in the host
cells. Higher incidents of infections have been reported in hospitalized
patients undergoing treatment with Intensive Care Unit aids and medical
devices majorly causing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection
(CAUTI) and Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). This makes the
biofilm-forming multi-drug resistant A. baumannii, the most hazardous
pathogen in Device Associated Hospital Acquired Infections (DA-HAI).
Several investigations unveiled that the outer membrane proteins (OMP)
and other adhesion-associated virulence have an anchoring role in
biofilm formation which majorly contributes to DA-HAI. Moreover, during
the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)
pandemic, the infection spread was further aggravated in DA-HAI. Hence,
it is important to search for novel therapeutic approaches that will
improve the treatment strategy and prevent device-associated infection.
This review explores the relationship between adhesion-associated
virulence and biofilm formation further it highlights the correlation
between antibacterial resistance, and biofilm characterization to
elucidate a novel therapeutic approach against this threatful pathogen.

Published: July 2023

Goals: The American healthcare system has been facing a burnout
epidemic, worsened by COVID, that must be addressed expeditiously and
with high priority. The burden Emergency Physicians encountered before
and during the pandemic is well known, with countless health care
workers exiting the work force. A Chief Wellness Officer (CWO) is a
senior leader who works primarily to cultivate organizational wellness
and foster and promote a culture of staff well-being throughout an
institution. Specifically, the CWO assists the health system leadership
promote clinician engagement and address clinician burnout. The aim of
this paper is to explore the status of existing CWOs, and cite the
benefits, impacts, and barriers to implementation of a CWO, with focus
on the field of Emergency Medicine. Methods: A steering
committee of wellness experts was formed from one of the national
emergency medicine organizations. The committee completed a purposive
search and literature review using various search terms relating to
CWOs. Publications were examined for relevance and recency.
Additionally, the committee created an online questionnaire to survey
current CWOs in the US, conducted personal CWO interviews, and met
through regular focused meetings. The committee cohesively developed a
framework delineating the role of a CWO as an organization evolves from
instituting novice wellness interventions to expert organizational
innovations (Table [1](#tbl-cap-0001)). Principle
Findings: Despite the title , CWOs are not regularly included
in major c-suite decisions. Barriers to instituting a CWO include
perceived financial cost, the medical system itself, and physician
resistance within the organization. Measuring return on investment may
be a window to solutions overcoming these barriers. CWOs who create
comprehensive institutional wellness innovations bring organizations to
the highest proficient and expert levels of wellness practices,
positively affecting physician engagement and deflecting burnout. CWOs
instituting novice and beginner levels of wellness interventions,
especially in emergency medicine, only modestly impact individual
wellness practices. Practical Applications: A CWO and team with
a voice in the organization and a stakeholder’s seat in the corporate
suite are essential to centralizing and leading effective wellness
efforts and innovations in emergency medicine and other specialties,
which improve the work environment and culture, rather than continuing
to enable a broken healthcare system.
A comparative study on salt stress response of Camelina sativa and Carthamus tinctorius during germination

Published: July 2023

Soil salinization is one of the most significant global problems, leading to
reduced agricultural productivity potential and biodiversity. The main salt
commonly found on the surface of soils and in water is NaCl, which directly
impacts plant growth and land degradation. Therefore, this study was
conducted to examine the morpho-physiological characteristics of two
genotypes of Camelina sativa (?NS Slatka?; ?NS Zlatka?) and two genotypes of
Carthamus tinctorius (?NS Lana?; ?NS Una?), which potentially characterize
them as salt-tolerant crops. The levels of salinity tolerance were compared
under five NaCl treatments, ranging from 0 mM to 200 mM. Based on the
obtained results, seeds of all four genotypes germinated at the highest salt
concentration (200mM NaCl), but the germination percentage declined at all
salt concentrations. Moreover, lower salt concentrations induced root
elongation and reduced shoot length of seedlings of all four genotypes. Salt
stress tolerance indexes showed the importance of converting the plant
parameters into mathematical indexes, and the significance of comparing all
the tolerance indexes according to salt stress.
Gender differences and profitability analysis of pepper (Capsicum species) production, Kaduna State, Nigeria
Authors: Alabi Olugbenga , Anekwe Chinwe
Published: July 2023

This study analysed gender differences and profitability of pepper (Capsicum
species) production in Kaduna State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling
technique was adopted. One hundred pepper farmers were selected. Primary
data sources were employed with the help of a well-designed and
well-structured questionnaire. The results show that 66% of pepper farmers
were between 21 and 50 years old. Pepper production was profitable in the
study area. Gender differences in average costs and returns in pepper
production revealed that the gross margin was higher for male farmers at
137,556.51 Naira than for female pepper farmers at 109, 711.77 Naira per
hectare. The gender differences in factors influencing pepper production
show that age (??1), and fertiliser input (??4), were significant factors
influencing pepper production among male farmers at the 1% probability
level, while age (??1), labour input (??3), and fertiliser input (??4), were
significant factors influencing pepper production among female farmers at
the 1% probability level. The return to scale (??????) of pepper production
was estimated at 2.798 for male farmers, which signifies an increase in the
return to scale. The return to scale (??????) was calculated for female
pepper farmers at 0.033, which implies a decrease in the return to scale.
The major constraints faced by pepper farmers were: lack of fertilisers,
pest and disease infestations, and inadequate capital. The study recommends
that female pepper farmers should have more access to farm inputs and low
interest loans to increase productivity.
Newly found Mayan records of astronomical phenomena in Dresden Codex
Authors: Vondrák J. , Böhm V. , Böhm B.
Published: July 2023

The rich culture of old Maya gave birth to a very complicated and complex
calendar; they also recorded important historical events and many significant
astronomical phenomena. The main source of information is represented by
Dresden Codex (DC), one of the four preserved Mayan hieroglyphic literal
legacies. DC roughly covers the interval between 280 and 1325 AD. The old
problem of precise Mayan dating with respect to our calendar is
traditionally called correlation; it expresses the difference in days between
the Long Count of the Mayan calendar and the Julian Date, used in presentday
astronomy. There exist more than fifty published correlations that differ one
from the other by as much as several centuries. Historians mostly accept the
so called Goodman-Mart?nez-Thompson (GMT) value of 584 283 days, which is
based mostly on historical events extracted from the sources of a
postclassical period of Mayan history. On the contrary, brothers B?hm used
precisely dated astronomical data from classical period to derive the B?hm
correlation (BB) of 622 261 days. Unlike the GMT correlation it is in
excellent agreement with the astronomical phenomena recorded in DC. Since
then we published several papers supporting the validity of BB correlation
and its advantage over GMT in the classical period of Mayan history. To this
end, we used more records of astronomical phenomena discovered in DC. This
study describes six records of planetary conjunctions that we found recently
on p. 37 of DC that concern planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and
Saturn. All of these records coincide with the real occurrences of these
phenomena within several days, if BB correlation is applied.

We report on the search results of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) from three Gamma-
ray Bursts (GRBs) at 2256 MHz using the 40-m radio telescope located at the
YunNan Astronomical Observatory (YNAO). The search for signals was triggered
by the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on- board the Swift satellite. Radio
single pulses are searched in the data over a large range of dispersion
measure from 0 to 5000 pc/cm3 in step of 50 pc/cm3. No FRB-like emission
from the prompt phase of GRBs are detected with significance > 5?. If there
are FRBs related to the GRBs, we set an upper limit on the ux density of
radio pulses of 2.5 Jy for GRB140512A and 8.0 Jy for GRBs 140629A and
140703A with the sensitivity of the telescope. A statistical analysis of the
GRB data reveals that the events detected above 5? are consistent with the
thermal noise uctuations.

Published: July 2023

Introduction. Laryngeal edema is a rare complication of angina Ludovici. Infections of this region are mostly of dentogenic origin, less often caused by tonsillitis or other infections in the pharynx. We present a case of a patient with laryngeal edema and dyspnea caused by a lower jaw tooth infection and an ipsilateral submandibular abscess. Case outline. The clinical picture of our patient progressed rapidly ? from toothache, painful swelling of the floor of the oral cavity, submandibular and submental regions, bilaterally, all the way to lifethreatening dyspnea. A flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy was performed. Swelling of the base of the tongue on the left side was observed, along with pronounced edema of the aryepiglottic fold on the same side, which narrowed the breathing space. Since the breathing space was significantly reduced, the patient was urgently hospitalized. The surgical treatment was carried out in the form of an external incision and drainage of the abscess collection of the left submandibular region, with the use of oxygen support and parenteral therapy, in accordance with the recommendations from the available medical literature. Constant monitoring of saturation levels indicated a significant improvement after just a few hours of medicamentous therapy. Conclusion. The goal of our work is to point out a very rare but serious complication, laryngeal edema, which can lead to airway obstruction even in the first few days of the development of the infection, and endanger the life of the patient.

This paper provides a survey of apparent personality trait analysis based on multimodal trait prediction and optimization of multimodal output parameters. This paper analyzes, synthesizes, and compares the development of different methods of Personality computing based on the personality trait analysis within the Big Five model (OCEAN model) and based on audio, visual and textual inputs. The results of the trait analysis and detection are different for different methods, from trait extracted from handwriting with an accuracy of 62-83%, trait extracted from with 56-62%, trait extracted from audio with 70%, trait extracted from visual element images and videos 87-91%, from aggregation function min and max 52 - 81%, mean and median 85%, and methods based on robustness and Huber function 72 - 77 %. Trait analysis is a problem with numerous real-life applications. Accurate trait recognition and analysis of various human traits are tasks that have been studied for a very long time in the field of psychology and lately represent an important area of study in the field of computer science and computing. The best results in the field of apparent personality trait analysis were achieved with convolutional neural networks. Multimodal trait prediction will give a better prediction than prediction based on a single modality, and optimization with aggregation functions and robust methods can achieve a better prediction of the models.
The effect of molten salt on the mechanical properties and microstructure of CuNiSi alloys with reinforced Fe
Authors: Akkaş Mehmet
Published: July 2023

In this study, CuNiSi alloys were produced using powder metallurgy in molten salt (KBr). In the Cu, Ni, and Si powder mixture, Fe was added at a rate of 2.5%, 5 and 7.5% and mechanical alloying was carried out for 4 hours at 400 rpm. Prepared powder mixtures were cold pressed under 600 MPa pressure and sintered for 3 hours at 900? in an argon atmosphere. Phase formation, microstructure, microhardness, electrical conductivity, and corrosion of the produced samples were analyzed in detail. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to detect the changes in the microstructure of the produced samples, and an X-ray diffractogram (XRD) was used to determine the phases formed in the internal structure of the materials. In order to determine the mechanical properties of the produced samples, hardness analyzes were made with a microhardness measuring device. The electrical conductivity properties of the produced CuNiSi and CuNiSiFe alloys were determined due to the increase in the Fe ratio. Corrosion tests of the produced samples were determined by potentiodynamic polarization curves in a 3.5% NaCl solution. Fe-reinforced CuNiSi composite materials have been successfully produced in molten salt (KBr). CuNiSi alloy, the microstructure is dominated by the typical large and small particles. Fe element is homogeneously dispersed in the CuNiSi alloy instead of being separated using the Ni element. Fe particles have decreased the hardness of produced alloys. The electrical conductivity properties changed with increasing voltages depending on the increase of Fe supplementation, and as a result, the sample containing 7.5% Fe had the best electrical conductivity values. Results showed that by increasing the amount of Fe, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance increased.
Effect of Ni:Si ratio on microstructure and properties of powder metallurgical Corson alloy
Authors: Akkaş Mehmet , Hakan Atapek , Polat Şeyda
Published: July 2023

In this study, powder metallurgical Cu-Ni-Si alloys with different Ni:Si ratios are produced by cold pressing sintering (600 MPa, at 950?C for 60 min) and bulk materials are solution annealed at 950?C for 60 min, quenched in water and aged at 450?C for 60 min. A fine distribution of Ni-Si compounds embedded in a netted-free structure is formed in the matrix. Although a conductivity level of at least 22% IACS is achieved in all powder metallurgical alloys, the impurity effect is dominant and a decrease in the conductivity is detected by increasing Ni:Si ratio. However, a slight increase in electrical conductivity is achieved by the precipitation of nickel silicides in the ?-Cu matrix under aging conditions. Increasing Ni:Si ratio directly increases the hardness of the powder metallurgical matrix, and a hardness value of 73 HV0.1 is obtained for the aged alloy having the highest Ni:Si (5:1) ratio.

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to compare the optical and mechanical properties of newer ceramic CAD/CAM materials to more established materials on the market.

Methods and Materials:

The following ceramic materials were tested: lithium disilicate/lithium-aluminum silicate (Tessera, Dentsply/Sirona), lithium disilicate (Initial LiSi Block, GC), IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent), and 4Y polycrystalline stabilized zirconia (IPS e.max ZirCAD MT, Ivoclar Vivadent; Katana STML, Kuraray; YZ ST, VITA). Optical properties (translucency, opalescence) were determined using a dental spectrophotometer on 0.5-, 1.0-, 1.5-, or 2.0-mm specimens. Mechanical properties (flexural strength, flexural modulus, flexural fatigue strength, Weibull modulus, and characteristic strength) were determined with beams undergoing 3-point bend testing. The data were analyzed with multiple analyses of variance and Tukey's post hoc tests (α=0.05).

Results:

Significant differences were found between groups based on type of ceramic or property (p<0.05).

Conclusions:

In general, the lithium disilicate based-ceramic materials had greater optical properties and lower mechanical properties than the zirconia-based ceramic materials.

Trademark cancellation can be done by registered trademark owners, such as PT. Pos Indonesia filed a trademark cancellation suit against the DIPOSIN mark because the mark has similarities in principle to the Pos Indonesia mark and its registration was carried out in bad faith. The judge granted the lawsuit for the cancellation of the DIPOSIN mark in part and the cancellation decision was not implemented. So, because of this, there is a legal inconsistency that results in the absence of legal certainty for brand owners who have good intentions. This study aims to discuss the judges' considerations in Decision number 8/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Merek/2020/PN.Niaga.Sby and the application of the principle of legal certainty according to Sudikno Mertokusumo. This research is normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. This research shows that based on Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications the judge's consideration in Decision Number 8/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Merek/2020/PN.Niaga.Sby is appropriate however, the implementation of the decision to cancel the trademark is not appropriate with what has been set. This decision gave rise to an inconsistency of norms which resulted in the absence of legal certainty for brand owners. According to Sudikno Mertokusumo, for the law to function in a real way, the law must be upheld, because then the law becomes a reality and the law must reflect legal certainty, benefit, and justice.

Published: July 2023

Zuhud memiliki banyak pengertian, ada beberapa ulama yang mendeskripsikan zuhud dengan meninggalkan yang haram adalah kewajiban dan meningggalkan yang halal adalah keutamaan. Namun, ada juga yang berpendapat bahwa zuhud adalah ajaran meninggalkan dunia, tidak perlu bekerja dan hanya beribadah saja. Pemahaman ini seakan-akan memberikan kesan bahwa orang yang hidup dengan zuhud memiliki sikap anti dunia. Penulisan artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap makna zuhud dari sisi al-Qur’an dalam penafsiran ar-Razi pada kitab tafsir beliau M?fat?h al-Ghaib. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kajian kepustakaan (library research) dengan menggunakan metode maudh?’i. Hasil penelitian dalam tulisan ini, menurut ar-Razi zuhud merupakan  perilaku yang dianjurkan untuk tidak serakah terhadap harta walaupun mampu mendapatkannya, tidak berlebihan dalam suka cita sehingga lupa untuk bersyukur dan sombong, memiliki perilaku qana’ah dan bersyukur terhadap rezeki yang didapatkan, jangan berbuat dosa demi anak dan mengabaikan pahala dari Allah, bersabar dalam menghadapi ejekan orang, mengutamakan akhirat karena memilih dunia saja membuat rugi di akhirat kelak dan kehidupan dunia hanya sementara sedangkan akhirat kekal.
