Authors: Erfan Herfin Fahri
Published: June 2024

Marriage dispensation is a legal solution for those who mostly do not yet have formal legal authority to marry. By taking the step of marriage dispensation, they are trying to ensure that their marriage can be legally recognized. This study analyzes differences of opinion among fiqh experts in determining age limits (baligh, ihtilam, rushd) which have implications for the right to consent in marriage. Marriage is prescribed in the Qur'an to realize the process of human regeneration. The desired generation is a generation of quality so that the task of living life is carried out based on the goals set by the Koran. This research aims to find out how the age limit for marriage in Islam is then analyzed by Islamic school scholars. Islam itself does not limit the ideal age for marriage. The jurists have different opinions regarding the age limit for marriage. The Shafi'i and Hanbali schools believe that the ideal age for marriage is 15 years, while Abu Hanifa believes that the age of maturity comes at 19 years for women and 17 years for men. Meanwhile, Imam Malik believes that the ideal age of maturity is 18 years for both men and women.

Published: June 2024

The development of information systems is a crucial process in the current modern era, as information systems play a vital role in managing, processing, storing, retrieving data, as well as assisting in the necessary decision-making for organizational. Therefore, companies and organizations are competing to build information systems in the present era. However, the rapid growth of information technology results in new needs and challenges, prompting organizations to develop their information systems. A review was conducted to provide an understanding of why organizations in case studies need to develop information systems, the methods used, and the fields covered in the developed information systems. The review was conducted using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, aiming to provide an overview of 14 papers discussing information system development from 2021 to 2023. The results indicate that the primary reason for an organization to develop an information system is the need for a system that can help manage employees more efficiently. Furthermore, the study found other reasons, such as assisting in the process of admitting new students, improving patient services, facilitating the book borrowing process, and managing student learning outcomes or E-Reports. The most widely used method for information system development is the Waterfall method, where information system development is widely implemented in the fields of education, business, healthcare, government, and human resources.
Perbandingan Simple Additive Weighting dan Weighted Product Pada Penerimaan Bantuan Raskin
Authors: Albarqi Achmadi Hudadin , Rosman Firdaus , Lestari Sri , Fauzi Chairani
Published: June 2024

In an effort to reduce the burden on family budgets, the government implemented the Poor Rice Program (Raskin), a social security program for the poor that offers subsidized rice assistance to low-income households. However, in practice, many households are categorized as poor even though they should not be. On the other hand, poor families should be involved, but are not included, and the process is still seen as less focused. Errors in data processing procedures can occur because Raskin recipients are still determined by human data processing. Data processing is time consuming, especially when it comes to ranking and decision making. In this regard, this research explores ways in which Decision Support Systems (DSS) can encourage faster and more precise decision making. Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Weighted Product (WP) are the two main methods covered. To increase the effectiveness and accuracy of government aid programs in Indonesia, the main objective of this research is to compare the use of SAW and WP techniques in making decisions regarding the receipt of Rice Miskin aid. The findings of this research support each other by referring to local residents with the pseudonyms W3, W12, W9 , W11, and W17 as recipients of rice assistance from regional governments who are inadequate in decision-making authority positions.

Authors: Rasam Rasam , Amsury Fachri
Published: June 2024

Technology has an impact on the evolution of the business world, which can affect how to plan, control and evaluate business activities, as is the case with Adira Finance. Adira Finance has used the Monitoring Application to monitor the running application system, namely the ELK Tools (Elasticsearch Logstash and Kibana). ELK can capture existing data on the server, be it CPU usage, database, network, and so on. ELK can provide a warning if there is a failure or error in the application system used. However, the current solution team only analyzes data after a failure or error, cannot analyze data before the incident. For this reason, implementation of automation capture is carried out using Selenium WebDriver to assist in capturing automatic monitoring results earlier before system failure occurs. The analysis was carried out by applying the cost benefit analysis method. The result of this implementation is a bot that can automatically capture and send the results to the telegram group in Adira Finance. Companies can consider whether the implementation of this automation for repairs or improvements to the monitoring system performance management is acceptable or not

An Improved Benders Dual Decomposition Method to Solve the Optimal Sizing Problem of Power-to-Ammonia Plants
Authors: Shunchao Wang
Published: June 2024

Converting renewable electricity into green ammonia has emerged as a new
solution for cross-sector decarbonization and an important source of
flexibility for power systems. Power-to-Ammonia (PtA) plants are an
integration of various electro-chemical-mechanical processes and
multiple storage facilities. Optimal sizing of these modules is an
important but challenging optimization problem at the engineering stage.
It is a two-stage decision-making program, involving both discrete and
continuous variables at two stages, and requiring a large number of
scenarios to accurately capture the stochasticity in renewable energy
generation. We formulate this problem as a general stochastic
mixed-integer programming (SMIP). We use the Benders Dual Decomposition
(BDD) method as an algorithmic framework for this problem, which enables
scenario decomposition and computation parallelization. To reduce the
duality gap of the BDD method, we derive a new type of optimality cut,
the Strengthened Lagrangian Cut (SLC), based on dissimilarity random
scenario bundling. We prove that the SLC is tighter than the Lagrangian
cut, and the resulting master problem provides tighter lower bound and
high-quality feasible solutions for upper bound calculations. We develop
an Improved Benders Dual Decomposition (IBDD) method based on SLCs.
Numerical results show that the traditional BDD method can produce
acceptable results for the PV-powered PtA case but not for the
wind-powered PtA case. In comparison, the IBDD method produces
satisfactory results for both cases and outperforms the BDD method. The
IBDD method is demonstrated to be capable of solving large-scale SMIPs
(containing more than 95,000 mixed-integer variables and 141,000
constraints in the extensive form) by achieving low relative gaps
(< 1%) within manageable computational time (<
1200s) on a standard Laptop.

Authors: Xin Qiruo , Nan Quandong
Published: June 2024

Reversely computed dynamic temporary weights introduce a novel and significant enhancement to the adaptability and accuracy of large language models. By dynamically recalculating the weights of key hidden layers during inference, our methodology significantly improves the model’s performance across various natural language processing tasks. Experimental results demonstrated substantial increases in accuracy, response time, and computational efficiency when compared to the baseline performance. The integration of dynamic weights enabled the model to adjust its internal parameters in real-time, resulting in more precise and context-aware predictions. Statistical analysis confirmed the significance of these improvements, providing robust validation for the proposed enhancements. This research not only advances the state-of-the-art in language model optimization but also paves the way for more intelligent and adaptable AI systems. Future work will address computational overhead and explore broader applicability to other neural network architectures.

Synthesis of graphene oxide-choline chloride in order to remove phosphate ion from aqueous samples: study of mechanism, isotherm and adsorption kinetics
Authors: Thaer Hussein Al-Ameri  , Mahnaz Qomi
Published: June 2024

In this study, a graphene oxide-choline chloride adsorbent was used as a highly efficient and environmentally friendly material for removing phosphate ions from aqueous samples. Graphene oxide was synthesized using the Hummers method and then modified with choline chloride to create the graphene oxide-choline chloride adsorbent. The synthesized adsorbent was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR), Field Effect Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was then applied to remove phosphate ions at different pH levels and stirring times. The results of this study showed that the maximum removal efficiency of phosphate ions was achieved at pH 5, with an adsorbent amount of 0.015 g and a stirring time of 30 minutes. Furthermore, it was observed that the adsorption of phosphate ions on the adsorbent surface followed the Langmuir isotherm (monolayer adsorption), with a maximum adsorption capacity of 217.4 mg/g. The examination of absorption kinetics also revealed that the absorption of phosphate ions followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, and an increase in temperature favored the progress of the reaction.

Authors: Saadi Lina , Adnan Shaimaa
Published: June 2024

A novel 1,2,4-triazole-5-thiol derivative was designed through a series of reactions. Firstly, Azo derivative 1 was synthesized by a general method with two steps, a diazotization reaction in an acidic medium, and a coupling reaction in basic conditions. Secondly, Azo-carboxylic acid 1 reacted with SOCl2 to produce acid chloride derivative 2. Then carbothiamide derivative 3 was synthesized through substitution reaction by reacting 2 with 4-phenyl thiosemicarbazide in pyridine. In the next step, carbothiamide 3 was reacted with sodium hydroxide solution to afford target triazole derivative 4. The structures of all synthesized derivatives were confirmed by techniques (1H, 13C NMR, IR). Moreover, the triazole derivative 4 was evaluated for its biological activity as an anticancer, antioxidant, and antibacterial. The results presented that compound 4 has moderate antibacterial activity and a high free radical scavenging effect (IC50 30.2 μg/mL) compared to vitamin C (IC50 21 μg/mL). The anticancer activity results presented that compound 4 has a toxic effect on a colon cancer cell line CaCo-2. The potential effect of compound 4 on the 5lqf protein was examined in silico studies.

Authors: Rasha Hasan Jasim  , HazimYahya Saeed
Published: June 2024

Breast cancer is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disease. Cancerous cells multiplying abnormally in the breast, eventually spreading to the rest of the body if untreated. Breast cancer almost exclusively occurs in women. Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide with millions of new cancer patients diagnosed each year and many deaths resulting from this disease. Worldwide, female breast cancer has now surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer. SUBJECTS: Ninety two females were included in the current study, they were classified into three groups, depending on their health status (patients and healthy women) and the type of tumor suffered by the study patients: 32 female patients with cancerous breast tumors before receiving chemotherapy, 30 female patients with benign breast tumors (the pathological control group) and 30 females, who were included as a healthy control group. METHODS: Sandwich-ELISA method was applied to evaluate adiponectin and interleukin-18 concentrations in the sera of the study participants. RESULTS: Assessment of the adiponectin revealed a significant increase in the samples of malignant breast tumors group when compared with those of benign breast tumors (p=0.000) and healthy individuals (p=0.002). Interleukin-18 levels in the malignancy tumor group were significantly lower than their levels in the pathological (p=0.007) as well as healthy (p=0.000) controls groups. This study shows apparent slight decrease of adiponectin concentrations in cancerous patients group after getting approximately three consecutive doses of chemotherapy in comparison with its levels pretreatment, while non-significant difference was noted when comparing interleukin-18 levels after receiving the last dose of chemotherapy with its level before starting treatment. Although the levels of interleukin-18 increased after the end of the recommended course of chemotherapy, it did not rise to the levels of this protein in the healthy control group. The individual efficiency (sensitivity) of the evaluated criteria in the current study for distinguishing between cancerous and benign breast tumors was convergent. While the study recorded the highest specificity (93%) for adiponectin while the lowest specificity (40%) was recorded in interleukin-18. Adiponectin and interleukin-18 were able to distinguish 28 out of 32 breast cancer samples (88%).

Authors: Kumar Rajendra
Published: June 2024

The aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.) is grown on around 25,000 hectares of land in practically every district in central Uttar Pradesh, producing over 250000 MT of fruits annually (Prasad and Yadav, 2005). Because of aonla fruits’ many nutritional and medicinal benefits, its fruit is referred to as a "Wonder Fruit for the Health". However, due of its tannins, which impart an unpleasant and astringent flavor, fruits should not be consumed raw. The purpose of this study is to identify key aonla cultivars that are suitable for pickling and may become more popular as processed fruit products when compared to other processed goods. As a result, the following aonla cultivars were examined: Banarasi, Chakaiya, Kanchan, Krishna, NA-6, NA-7, NA-8, and NA-9. Cultivars were screened using the recipe that was discovered to be optimal for pickle making. Every month, observations on total soluble solids (TSS), browning, acidity, and vitamin "C" were made. Throughout storage, the prepared pickle was also subjected to periodic organoleptic evaluations. Pickle organoleptic ratings showed a progressive deterioration over storage. It was discovered that aonla pickles were suitable for up to nine months. The study determined that the best fruits for preparing high-quality pickles were those of the aonla cultivar NA-7.
Effects of a Multi-Enzyme on Humeral Immune Response against NDV and Performance of Broiler Chickens
Authors: Shareef Yasser Asaad Hameed Al , Abawi Firas Hussain Kadim
Published: June 2024

Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) are not fully digested by broiler’s endogenous enzymes and consequently the soluble NSPs in feed results in high digesta viscosity and poor retention of nutrients. Supplementation of NSPs digesting enzymes may release the nutrients from feed and reduce the anti-nutritional effects of NSPs. This study was executed to investigate the effect of NSPs digesting enzymes (Endo-Power) multi enzyme supplementation levels (500g/ton of feed) with standard diet (SD) on immune response, blood biochemistry and growth performance of broilers chickens during 1–35 days of age. A total of 200 unsexed 1-day-old Ross308 broiler chicks were randomly distributed, to four treatments. There were fifty chicks per treatments. Results showed that diet with multi enzyme supplementation significantly increased the humoral immune response against NDV of broilers. Addition of multienzymes at levels (500g/ton of feed) significantly increased body weight gain BWG and improved Feed consumption ratio FCR, compared to the control treatments. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspirate aminotransferase (AST) were significantly higher for treatments without multi enzyme than the treatments with multi enzyme. Supplementation of multienzymes significantly decreased ALT and AST compared to the control group.

Background: Considering the importance of Cryptosporidium spp. to public health and the country's economic situation due to the threat of an outbreak and economic losses. Objectives: this study aimed to detect Cryptosporidium spp. in human in Babylon province using traditional and molecular techniques. Methods: this study was conducted in Babylon province from September, 2023 to March, 2024.a total of 100 human stool samples were examined microscopically for detection of Cryptosporidium spp. from both diarrheal and non-diarrheal patients attend hospitals and public health centers laboratories. Results: by using microscopic examination. The rate of infection with Cryptosporidium spp. was (25/100), 25%. According to sex, the highest infection rate in humans was in males (17/59),28.81% compared to females (8/41) ,19,51%. was recorded in the rate of infection between age groups, the highest rate (13/28), 46.42% observed in < 5years of human. Rural area revealed the highest rate of infection than urban area in human (16/44),36.63%. In molecular diagnosis, DNA extraction was performed for 50 stool samples human 28% (14/50) C hominis 10% (5/50) C parvum 18% (9/50) by nested PCR, in order to investigate the genotypes of Cryptosporidium spp. from human in Babylon, five Cryptosporidium spp. isolates. were genetically characterized by SSU-rDNA gene sequencing. The results showed C parvum (1/5) C hominis (4/5). Conclusion: these findings suggested that infection of humans by zoonotic genotypes were the most common genotypes detected in all human samples in Babylon province, to enhance the effectiveness of the One Health approach in preventing Cryptosporidium spp. infection, it is crucial to have a deeper understanding of the environmental, epidemiological, and etiological aspects linked to Cryptosporidium infection. This knowledge will aid in the development of more effective risk management strategies. The future One Health plan seeks to incorporate diverse and interdisciplinary expertise.

It is defined as a process of inflammation of the residual appendicular tissue after an appendectomy. CT scan of the abdomen is the most useful imaging method to demonstrate and diagnose the other lesions considered in the differential diagnosis. If missed, it can lead to significant morbidity and mortality with complications such as perforation and peritonitis. We report a case of appendicitis on appendicular stump in a 44-year-old patient with a history of appendicectomy in 2017.

The accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, cornea, and kidneys is the hallmark of Wilson's disease, an uncommon autosomal recessive condition. There is no community-based research on the prevalence and incidence of Wilson's disease in India; this study is hospital-based. Overview of the Case: A 10-year-old girl with serious complaints of burning micturition, giddiness, loose stools and blood in stools, yellowish discolouration of skin and sclera, generalized body aches, fever and stomach pain with distension was brought to the paediatric department. Wilson's illness was established by abdominal USG using the increased levels of urine copper, whole blood picture, liver function tests, and serum electrolytes and decreased levels of ceruloplasmin. The prominent characteristic, which is less common in youngsters, is the Kayser Fleisher ring. It is identified by a discoloration of the corneal edge that is greenish-brown in colour and eventually goes away with treatment. Probiotics, an antibiotic, a hepatoprotective drug, and copper chelators (D-penicillamine and zinc) were used in her treatment. Gradually she showed improvement in clinical signs and LFT levels.

Background: Allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) are common adverse events during blood transfusions, ranging from mild urticaria to severe anaphylactic shock. Elevated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are known to mediate these reactions. This study aimed to assess the relationship between serum IgE levels and the Presence of ATRs in patients receiving fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusions. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Transfusion Medicine, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from March 2019 to August 2021. The study included 55 patients aged 5-60 years who received FFP transfusions. Demographic data, clinical symptoms, and IgE levels were recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, with statistical significance set at p<0.05. Result: The majority of participants were males (94.55%) and aged 11-20 years (45.45%). Most patients (85.45%) received multiple units of FFP. Clinical symptoms included itching (56.36%), urticarial rash (29.09%), vomiting (7.27%), and hypotension (7.27%). Raised IgE levels were found in 52.73% of participants, and a significant association was observed between elevated IgE levels and the presence of allergic reactions (p<0.01). Patients with allergic reactions had significantly higher mean IgE levels (521.4±434.6 IU/mL) compared to those without allergic reactions (67.8±33.2 IU/mL). Conclusion: Elevated serum IgE levels are significantly associated with the Presence of ATRs in patients receiving FFP transfusions. Monitoring IgE levels can help predict and manage allergic reactions, thereby improving transfusion safety and patient outcomes.

A esquizofrenia é um distúrbio neuropsiquiátrico complexo de origem multifatorial, afetando funções laborais, intelectuais, relações interpessoais e autocuidado. Os sintomas se dividem em quatro domínios: positivos, negativos, afetivos e cognitivos, variando entre indivíduos. Com prevalência mundial de 1% e incidência de 1,5 por 10.000 pessoas, é uma das principais causas de incapacidade em jovens e adultos. O objetivo deste trabalho é definir e avaliar o perfil epidemiológico das internações hospitalares por esquizofrenia e transtornos relacionados no Brasil. Este trabalho é quantitativo e retrospectivo, utilizando dados do SIH/SUS do DATASUS. Foram analisadas internações por esquizofrenia e transtornos relacionados no Brasil entre 2018 e 2023. As variáveis consideradas foram: região, tipo de atendimento, faixa etária, sexo e cor/raça. Entre 2018 e 2023, houve 415.156 internações por esquizofrenia e transtornos relacionados ao Brasil. Destas, 88,36% foram urgências e 11,63% eletivas. A maioria dos pacientes tinha entre 20 e 49 anos (68,88%). Os homens representaram 61,30% das internações. Em termos de cor/raça, 37,17% se declararam pardos e 33,44% brancos. Assim, a maior frequência de internações foi entre indivíduos do sexo masculino, de cor parda, com idade entre 30 e 39 anos, residentes na região Sudeste e atendidos em caráter de urgência.

The economic situation of rural residents has changed since economic liberalization, and they are no longer considered impoverished individuals. Rural residents income has increased significantly during the past few years. The information revolution and rural residents rising educational levels have made them aware of many of the newest product offerings. Cultural disparities with their urban counterparts began to fade in a market that was semi-homogeneous for many durable and non-durable businesses. Reduce and attitude had significantly shifted. Teenagers from rural areas try to act like their metropolitan counterparts. A significant shift in lifestyle has occurred, with a growing number of people becoming self-conscious. Social class lines become less distinct. Rural consumers could now easily get commodities thanks to the extensive distribution network of various businesses, which contributed to the rise of rural consumerism. In summary, the paper covers various psychographic and demographic studies as well as an analysis of rural customers demand throughout the post-liberalization era.
