Authors: Amelya Amelya , Eramahi Eka , Oktavia Gifa
Published: March 2024

This research aims to determine the implementation of the Wafa method in learning tahfizh Quran, to determine the evaluation of the Wafa method in learning tahfizh Quran and to determine the supporting and inhibiting factors of the Wafa method in learning tahfizh Quran at the Tahfizh School of Light Above Light. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques: observation, interviews, and documentation with data analysis through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions and verification. The results of this research analysis show that the implementation of the Wafa method in learning tahfzih Quran at Tahfizh Cahaya di Atas Cahaya School is as follows: Preparations made by teachers in learning tahfizh Quran, namely teachers plan learning by making learning tools such as learning process plan, Wafa book as a learning medium and the Quran as the main source. Implementation of learning means the teacher instills intention and motivates students before learning begins. Evaluation of students' abilities is carried out by the teacher by testing the memorization of the Quran which has previously been memorized. Supporting factors are adequate infrastructure, and a conducive school environment, while inhibiting factors are teachers' uneven understanding of the Wafa method, the existence of children's different learning styles, and a lack of cooperation between teachers and parents. The results of this research can provide guidance for the Tahfizh Cahaya di Atas Cahaya School and perhaps also for other schools, and can be used as initial data for future researchers in studying this problem in different contexts and issues.

Published: March 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os movimentos da organização docente em busca de valorização, com enfoque nos municípios do Pará. Para tanto, foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico e documental sobre a valorização docente. No que diz respeito às Políticas de Valorização Docente no Brasil, fez-se um breve histórico do cenário nacional, em que a valorização de professores foi incluída como princípio educacional na Constituição Federal de 1988 e na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação – Lei n° 9.394/1996. Na busca pela valorização docente, percebeu-se que, desde o Séc. XIX, os docentes tentavam se organizar em associações e sindicatos, tanto nacionalmente quanto em âmbito local, pois pode-se verificar a trajetória sindical em prol de melhorias na educação. Concluiu-se que, no Pará, mediante a pesquisa realizada, que apontou as constantes intervenções do sindicato nos diversos municípios, no intuito de lutar juntamente com os profissionais da educação por suas reivindicações, ocorre a frequente desvalorização docente.
EXAMINING THE FACTORS THAT LED TO THE REVOLUTION IN THE COUNTRIES THAT WERE ELIMINATED AT BUMN
Authors: Sitompul Mercy Monika R , Sitepu Runtung , Akbar Faisal , Sirait Ningrum Natasya
Published: March 2024

Separated state wealth has been a "sexy" topic for additional research ever since Law No. 17 of 2003 on State Finances was created, specifically article 2 letter g, which declares that separated state wealth is under the purview of State Finance. This article is cited by all parties when discussing issues pertaining to the riches of divided nations. Act No. 17 of 2003, however, does not specify what constitutes the wealth of a divided state, how it functions, how it is supervised, or how it reports on its obligations. This paper will explain that even though the wealth of the separated state is included in the scope of the state's finances does not mean that the entrepreneur and his responsibilities follow the APBN mechanism and also respond to the cause of the occurrence of differences of opinion. This research is carried out using a method of normative jurisprudence, which is to test and study secondary data. Using secondary information such as legislative regulations, court decisions, legal theory and expert opinion to obtain clarity on the problem. The study concluded that the law was not intended to regulate the wealth of the separated state, and differences of opinion were due to a misunderstanding of the scope of the state's finances and attached the status of state organizer to the body of BUMN
Harmony of Law and Religion: A Maqāṣid Ash-Sharī'ah Analysis of Marriage Registration According to the Fiqh and Law No. 1/1974
Authors: Sehabudin
Published: March 2024

In an effort to regulate marriage and reduce the practice of underhand marriage (sirri) in Indonesia, the government has imposed two requirements: material and administrative requirements. Material requirements include provisions related to the pillars of marriage, both those stipulated in fiqh and the law. Meanwhile, the administrative requirements relate to marriage registration, which is regulated in Article 2 paragraph (2) of Law No. 1/1974 on Marriage. The procedure for this recording is explained in Government Regulation Number 9 of 1975. The addition of marriage registration as a condition of marriage has caused controversy among Indonesian legal experts. This controversy is caused by the interpretation of Article 2 paragraphs (1) and (2) of the Marriage Law, as well as differences in the concept of walīmah and Surah Al-Baqarah (2): 282, as well as the necessity of recording in the field of muamalah. This research is a literature research that uses literature study as the main source of data. This data collection method includes primary, secondary, and tertiary data, with a descriptive-analytical and comparative approach. The analysis involves the concept of marriage registration in the Book of Jurisprudence and Law No.1/1974 as well as the urgency for the perpetrators of underhand marriage using maqāṣid ash-sharī'ah analysis. The results show that marriage registration in the Book of Jurisprudence and Law No.1/1974, by applying maqāṣid ash-sharī'ah analysis, shows that the command to register marriage is implicit in the Book of Jurisprudence and explicit in the UUP. Marriage registration, especially for perpetrators of irregular marriages, is in accordance with the objectives of syarak. A marriage certificate can protect religion, soul, mind, offspring, and property before the law, ensuring the benefit of the household (harmonious and lasting family) is achieved.

Objetivo: analizar las características demográficas, clínicas y funcionales de personas residentes en un centro sociosanitario público. Caracterizar a la población en función del riesgo anticolinérgico según la escala DBI. 
Metodología: estudio observacional descriptivo de una cohorte de un centro sociosanitario público de Andalucía. Se llevó a cabo desde septiembre hasta diciembre de 2020.Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y funcionales, de farmacoterapia y carga anticolinérgica asociada según la escala DBI. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo general y un otro diferencial en función de la carga anticolinérgica.
Resultados: se incluyeron 148 residentes (mediana 73 años [IQR: 15,25]). El 19,8% de la población era analfabeta. El 43,9% presentaba tabaquismo y el 22,3% consumía alcohol a diario. El 50,3% presentaban polifarmacia excesiva (≥10 medicamentos) y el 73,6%. de los pacientes presentaban riesgo anticolinérgico y/sedante según DBI (definido por presentar una puntuación DBI>0). Los principios activos con actividad anticolinérgica y/o sedante más frecuentemente prescritos fueron lorazepam, tramadol, tamsulosina y trazodona. El delirio y la ansiedad, junto con las infecciones de repetición del tracto urinario, fueron más prevalentes en el grupo de residentes que presentaban carga anticolinérgica (p<0,05). 
Conclusiones: la población del centro sociosanitario presenta un alto índice de analfabetismo, y elevada prevalencia de consumo de tabaco y alcohol. El índice de polimedicación es elevado, así como el porcentaje de pacientes con riesgo anticolinérgico asociado a la farmacoterapia. La ansiedad, el delirium y las ITUs de repetición fueron más prevalentes en la población con carga anticolinérgica. Estudios multicéntricos con mayor número de residentes serían necesarios para confirmar estos hallazgos.

Published: March 2024

Myopathies present a wide range of clinical symptoms that affect the skeletal muscles, including weakness, fatigue, and pain. While acquired myopathies receive significant attention due to the availability of treatment options, it is important to note that some inherited myopathies can also be effectively managed. These myopathies can be classified based on their underlying causes, such as infectious agents, autoimmune disorders leading to muscle inflammation, granulomatous inflammation, metabolic abnormalities within the muscle cells, skeletal muscle channel dysfunctions, prolonged ICU stay, and inherited conditions such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In this review, we initially present a clinical approach to neuromuscular diseases and subsequently place specific emphasis on myopathies, particularly to those that have treatment options available.
Logistics Management Practices and Performance of Government-Owned Sugar Companies In Kenya.
Authors: Rutto Kenneth Kiprono , Omwenga Jane Queen
Published: March 2024

In the recent past, the Kenyan government has not been able to ensure the provision of affordable food. Structural bottlenecks have made it difficult for food produced in the country to reach its intended recipients. This study investigated the effect of logistics management practices on performance of government owned sugar companies in Kenya. It was premised on the proposition that in order to increase competitiveness of government-owned sugar companies, it is important to have a sound understanding of their logistics management practices. Underpinned by resource-based view theory, theory of constraints, systems theory and transaction cost theory, this study provided insights into managing logistics to enhance performance within the context of government owned sugar companies in Kenya. Four specific objectives emanated from this main objective: one, to determine the extent to which inventory management affects performance, two, to assess how order management affects performance, three, to establish how transportation management affects performance, four to determine the extent to which packaging management practices affects performance. Out of these objectives, hypotheses were stated for testing. Through structured questionnaires, data was obtained from 5 government-owned sugar companies. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data and test hypotheses of the relationships stated earlier. The target sample population of the study was 256 supply chain personnel from five Government-owned sugar Companies in Kenya. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 29 using both descriptive and inferential analysis. The study finding revealed that inventory, order, transport, and packaging management significantly influence government-owned sugar manufacturing firms' performance in Kenya, explaining 73.9% of performance variation. ANOVA results confirmed the model's statistical significance (p < 0.05). Further analysis demonstrated positive relationships between inventory, order, transport, and packaging management practices and firm performance. The study suggests government and policymakers allocate resources for collaborative research to enhance state-owned sugar manufacturing firms' logistics management. Researchers should focus on cost reduction, quality control, and technology adoption. Sugar firms need to invest in order processing systems, equipment, and sustainable packaging. Logistics service providers should adopt advanced technologies and collaborate with sugar firms. Further studies should explore additional logistics practices and cross-industry collaborations.
Significado que atribuyen los docentes secundarios respecto a la evaluación de aprendizajes durante la pandemia por la COVID 19
Authors: Pillajo Marjorie Susana , Rocha Pullopaxi Milton
Published: March 2024

El objetivo de este estudio identificó cómo la evaluación de aprendizajes en el trabajo pedagógico fue influenciada por el significado que los docentes secundarios otorgaron a este proceso durante la pandemia. A la vez, estableció de que forma la cultura evaluativa de los docentes se ha visto manipulada por sus propias percepciones, en el sector educativo público. Para cumplir estos objetivos se siguió una metodología cualitativa, transversal, documental y de campo, con uso de técnicas como la entrevista a profundidad a cuatro profesores de un colegio fiscal del Ecuador quienes en la actualidad dictan distintas asignaturas y, además, cumplieron los requisitos de la investigación. Adicionalmente, se observó en cuatro ocasiones de manera no participante el desarrollo de sus clases en modalidad virtual. Uno de los resultados más significativos fue que el profesorado presentó una confusión entre evaluar el aprendizaje y calificar o asignar un número a las evidencias elaboradas por los estudiantes. Finalmente, esto se instituye como producto de la percepción que han construido las y los profesores a lo largo de su trayectoria personal, profesional, y, sobre todo, por el contexto emergente y el cambio brusco que la pandemia significó para el sector más vulnerable de la educación ecuatoriana. Esto abrió el análisis a una esfera jurídica del tratamiento del principio de igualdad y no discriminación en contextos educativos, específicamente de los hallazgos y resultados de esta investigación sobre la evaluación y práctica pedagógica.
Amenazas naturales y antrópicas en el centro-occidente de Colombia: un análisis de vulnerabilidad desde la perspectiva comunitaria
Authors: Gomez Melo Maria del Pilar , Faber Sanchez Marroquín Jorge Edwin , Vargas Guzman Lili Mardori
Published: March 2024

Existen factores que permiten asociar la actual problemática ambiental con la gestión de amenazas que se efectúa en los entornos urbanos. En tal sentido, la gestión de desastres permite emprender acciones prospectivas que no se limitan a la preparación, atención y respuesta ante emergencias, sino que se orientan a contrarrestar las preexistencias de carácter natural que favorecen la ocurrencia de desastres en un territorio. En el caso particular de Colombia, la administración del riesgo se ha centrado tradicionalmente en las etapas de rescate y rehabilitación de las comunidades vulnerables, pero ha omitido la perspectiva ciudadana y el enfoque de prevención y precaución que se requiere para mejorar las condiciones y capacidades de dichas comunidades. En este contexto, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar las vulnerabilidades de una comunidad barrial de Ibagué, Colombia, desde la perspectiva ciudadana de sus habitantes. Al considerar la percepción comunitaria en la evaluación de riesgos efectuada, fue posible establecer que el 62.5% de las amenazas detectadas en el estudio se consideran inminentes. Asimismo, se concluyó que las intervenciones que la comunidad precisa deberán abordar las causas raíces de fenómenos socioambientales de atención prioritaria tales como inundaciones, remoción de masa, problemas de tránsito vehicular, invasiones y delincuencia común.

La agricultura familiar es un factor clave en la reactivación para las economías rurales que garantiza estabilidad, arraigo cultural y social, así como horizontes de desarrollo, parte de las problemáticas en los productores agrícolas en la provincia de Manabí tiene que ver con la escasa gestión de los recursos económicos y la informalidad en el registro contable; limitaciones que van a incidir en el resto de los procesos de producción, transporte, comercialización y venta de los productos agrícolas. El objetivo de este trabajo es desarrollar una investigación sobre la situación actual la comercialización de productos agrícolas del sector de la economía popular y solidaria en la provincia de Manabí. Los resultados de la investigación arrojaron que a pesar de existir diversas estructuras gubernamentales, y tipos de ayuda para el sector agrícola ecuatoriano los cambios que suceden no han sido favorables y se mantiene la inequidad, la desigualdad y la pobreza.

These phenomena can encompass a wide range of linguistic phenomena, including grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, syntax, idioms, and more. English holds significant importance around the world because English is the most widely spoken language globally. It serves as a common language of communication among people from different linguistic backgrounds. Proficiency in English enables individuals to connect with a broader range of people, both in personal and professional contexts. English is the language of international business and economics as well. It facilitates global trade, negotiations, and collaboration between companies and individuals from different countries. Proficiency in English enhances employability and career opportunities, particularly in multinational corporations and industries with international reach. It recognizes the importance of both native and non-native varieties of English and acknowledges that each circle has its own linguistic norms, purposes, and language development. The study informs us that Kachru was an original thinker not in the field of English Language including applied linguistics, multilingualism, bilingualism, language policy, language creativity, code mixing, code switching, cross-cultural communication, sociolinguistics but also in the domain of politics of language and so many other issues including cross-cultural awareness.

This research review has been written to explore the role of machine learning algorithms in natural language processing (NLP), a computer field that offers human-like comprehension of virtual text. The main motive of the article is to reveal the participation of machine learning (ML) in NLP and its scope in coherent fields. In this study, the researchers have used a systematic literature review approach to explore the role of ML algorithms in NLP. Highlighting the techniques of ML algorithms as supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement methods, this study discloses the connectivity with morphological, semantic, syntactic, pragmatic, and discourse analysis in NLP. The article describes that ML/NLP has immense applications in different fields where several tools of ML/NLP are utilized. The researchers have studied the use of chatbots, text summarization tools, web scrapping, sentimental analysis in the social media stock market, medical field disease detection, and fraud detection. ML’s role and contributions to the progressions are detained in current studies. A distinct comparison has been made between the past present and future of ML in NLP. ML algorithms and applications with examples are disclosed in the classification of logistic regression, SVM, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, and decision tree. Data distortion, interpretation of the research findings, and contextual ambiguity are visibly determined as challenges and discussed in the study. This writing opens up to the recent advancements and advantages in multiple areas correspondingly. The discussions and findings expose the role of ML in opening the gateway to the profound revolutionary search engines, algorithms, and multiple techniques through the development of technology and its evolution to adapt to new language differences, slang, and changes in language use.

An experimental study was designed to find the effect of e-module on the academic achievement of chemistry students at secondary level. This study was quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest non-equivalent control group design. All female science students of 10th class of public school were the population of the study. A sample of 67 female students of 10th class was selected from a public school GGHS Sheikhpur, in the rural area. Two groups were named after the conduction of pretest as experimental group and control group. E-module was designed to teach experimental group. Module and instrument were piloted and validated through expert opinion. Data were collected through pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed through inferential statistics with the help of independent sample t-test. The findings of the study were significant as academic achievement of students of experimental group was enhanced in chemistry through teaching with e-module as compared to control group in the area of Understanding and Application.  It is recommended that to minimize the use of traditional teaching methods in science subjects and to enhance the area of understanding and Application, teaching with e-module may be encouraged at the secondary level.

The second publication of your quarterly journal is available on time thanks to the commitment of the peer reviewers, the publisher (Presses Universitaires de Dakar), the scientific and editorial committees and the Secretariat which made it possible to proceed within the planned deadlines and in scientific rigor, the evaluation and publication process. This volume 2, number 1 includes eight scientific articles submitted by young authors but also seasoned seniors which contributes to the transparent and equitable dissemination of science in open access. These original articles indexed in Scopus address medicinal and food plants, the optimization and validation of analytical methods for drug control, the quality of powdered milk sold in Dakar, the accessibility and quality of water in Mboro (Senegal), the quality of honeys from Casamance (Senegal), the continuing training of community pharmacists in particular. In the format of a Letter to the Editor, we are publishing a contribution from the American Pharmacopoeia through the PQM+ (Promoting the Quality of Medicines) team which sheds light on the problem of quality assurance of medicines in Africa South of the Sahara and the levels of performance/recognition of skills of official structures responsible for controlling the quality of medicines and other health products. The main results of this example of practical North-South cooperation are shared and bring a bit of hope in the fight against substandard/falsified medical products for better protection of population health through i) an efficient quality control infrastructure and ii) accessibility to quality, safe and effective medical products. This present issue pursues the objective of this journal which offers an opportunity to make Africa's scientific writing resonate more in a globalized world in which multidisciplinary and transversal analytical sciences are at the heart of any process of competitiveness, regulation and development. We thank the entire editorial team and peer reviewers for their collaboration. To your manuscripts and excellent reading!
Validation d’une méthode d’identification et de dosage de l’oxytetracycline dans des médicaments à usage vétérinaire par CLHP-DAD
Authors: NDIAYE ET AL Sény
Published: March 2024

Oxytetracyclin (OTC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the bacterial aromatic polyketide family. A simple and rapid method of identification and assay of this molecule in veterinary medicinal products was validated. This is a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method coupled with a diode array detector (DAD). The mobile phase was a mixture of 50 g of tertiary butyl alcohol, 60ml of phosphate buffer (pH 7.5), 50ml of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate solution, 10ml of disodium edetate solution and enough water for 1000 ml. The flow rate was set at 1ml/min, wavelength detection at 254 nm using a L1 column (C18, 4.6 mm × 25 cm, 5um). The results obtained showed that the method was specific, linear with a correlation coefficient equal to 0.9902 in the concentration ranged from 0.176 mg/ml to 0.264 mg/ml, precise with relative standard deviations less than 5% and accurate with recovery rates between 97.83 % and 101.37 %. The proposed method was valid and can be used routinely to identify and quantifiy oxytetracyclin in veterinary medicines.

The objective of this study was to evaluate continuing education needs among community pharmacists; to develop a compulsory continuing professional training model, adapted to the requirements of Senegalese community pharmacy. Using the Google Forms electronic tool, 110 forms were collected completed by community pharmacists. The analysis of the results was carried out using the Excel 2016 spreadsheet. Regarding the results, the majority of individuals in the sample (64.54%) consider that the initial training of pharmacists in Senegal is good, very good or excellent. However, it should be noted that 23.64% of participants find that it needs to be rehabilitated. The results also show that community pharmacists face several difficulties in carrying out their duties. Among them, the most worrying are found at three levels: obtaining an effective means to constantly be up to date (22.72%), adapting to changes (20.91%) and having the capacities required for better management pharmacy (20.91%). Concerning the project to establish a system of compulsory continuing pharmaceutical training in Senegal, 95.45% of pharmacists are aware of its necessity. However, 9.09% of participants reject the idea of ​​making it an obligation. Finally, the continuing professional training model proposed based on the analysis of the results of the survey is based on a high committee for continuing professional training as the management body of the system.
