Published: December 2019

Islamic wealth management has been aimed at choosing investment instruments so that their portfolios get maximum returns. The process of wealth management emphasizes wealth accumulation without linking it with Maqashid al-Sharia, such as how to safeguard assets (hifz al-mal), protecting assets oriented to offspring (hifz al-nasl) and so on. The orientation is on welfare in the world without involving elements of blessing and the pleasure of Allah SWT. This study uses a qualitative method through the postmodernism approach. First, the reconstruction of the model is associated with relevant values in Maqashid al-Sharia. Second, the researcher makes observations on the actions and thoughts of investors in interpreting investment and managing investment returns by sharia in the capital market. Third, applying the Islamic Wealth Management model based on Maqashid al-Sharia according to the results of the study. The output of this study is a model of asset management based on Maqashid al-Sharia as a grand theory in sharia stock investments in the capital market, to achieve the ultimate goal of prosperity in the world and the hereafter and provide positive benefits for all parties.

Sosyal Sermaye Ürünü Olarak Taziye Kültürü ve Kurumsal Bir Hizmet Olarak Yas Danışmanlığı: Türkiye-Almanya Örneği
Authors: ATAMAN Emine , BARIŞ İsmail
Published: December 2019

Bir sosyal sermaye birikimi olarak değerlendirilen taziye kültürü, Türk geleneğinde büyük önem arz etmektedir. Taziye kültürünün yas sürecindeki bireylerde psikolojik, sosyal ve manevi bakımdan teskin edici, yatıştırıcı ve iyileştirici bir etkisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Almanya’da taziye merasimleri, sınırlı sayıda aile mensubu ve yakın çevre tarafından icra edilmektedir. Ancak Almanya’da özellikle hastanelerde ve yaşlı bakım merkezlerinde terminal (tedavisi olmayan) hastalıklara yakalanmış hasta ve ailelerine yönelik profesyonel yas danışmanlığı hizmeti yaygındır. Ölüme refakat/destek hizmeti ve yas danışmanlığının gayesi, ölecek kişiye manevi bakım ve rehberlik sağlamak suretiyle ölümün fiziki ve psikolojik sıkıntılarını hafifletmektir. Almanya’daki bütün hastalar insan onuruna yaraşır ölüme refakat hizmetleri ve yas danışmanlığı alma hakkına sahiptir. Her ne kadar Türkiye’de yas danışmanlığı henüz mesleki/kurumsal şekliyle oluşmamış ise de sosyal sermayenin bir yansıması olarak taziye kültürü Türk toplumunun tabii canlılığını ve dayanışmasını korumaktadır. Netice itibariyle sosyal sermayenin etkisiyle, taziye kültürünün yaşamakta olduğu Türkiye’de, yas danışmanlığının kurumsal bir hizmete dönüşmesi gecikmektedir. Ancak modernleşen toplum ve kent hayatı, bu sosyal sermayenin sürdürülebilirliğini azaltmaktadır. Bu sebeple kurumsal bir hizmet olarak yas danışmanlığının uygulandığı Almanya örneği, Türkiye’ye örnek teşkil edebilmesi ve uygulamaya yeni açılımlar sağlayabilmesi amacıyla çalışmaya konu olmuştur.

SLE is a rare autoimmune disease characterised by acute and chronic inflammation of various tissues of the body. Its cause and pathogenesis are still unknown.
The work aims at providing new knowledge in regard to these open questions. Its thesis is exposed in different formats resulting from different strategies of artistic research. It proposes to understand autoimmunity as the expression of transformative processes that cause various physical and mental effects in the afflicted organism. This ongoing metamorphosis is driven by a plan: it is about the emerging of a new being – the Lycanthropus erythematosus.
Icephery and Icy Score - concepts for multi sensory approach
Authors: Eija Timonen
Published: December 2019

Introduction

For years during the darkest moment of the year, I have photographed the reflections of light in the cracks of ice on a remote frozen lake in Eastern Finland. At first glance it may seem that there is only ice, snow and some light. And this is the case in some point of view, but the more detailed focusing widens the view.
This exposition describes how by carefully multisensory reading the environment – here by reading the auditive and thermoception information - is organized and is in continuous moving process. My key concepts are Icephery and The Icy Score which I have created by analyzing what kind of information my thermoception and auditive orientations will give about the ice and the icy environment. In this presentation the other senses are less attentive. Those I have opened in my previous investigations (see Timonen 2014, 2019). By concentrating the multisensory close-reading the place gets new meanings and layers. The place that while ago was peripheral, remote and silence are now near with full of meanings and sounds. The understanding created by the sensory attention pushes the borders of periphery of the place in a constant float. The article proceeds by presenting the theoretical starting points of the research, then describing the concrete workplace on ice from the point of view of the place and materiality and then presenting the concepts the Icephery and the Icy score as a result of carefully multi sensory close-reading. The Icy Score is a visual outcome of the auditive layers of the ice.

Published: December 2019

Accurately obtaining the temperature distribution of the medium in the shutdown pipe-line of waxy crude-oil has important guiding significance for making maintenance plan and restart plan. The phase transition process of waxy crude-oil involves complex problems such as natural-convection heat transfer, latent heat release, and difficulty in tracing liquid-solid interface. In this paper, the concept and significance of breaking point were proposed. Taking the breaking point and the freezing point as dividing point, a new zonal partition model was established based on the influence of phase change of crude-oil wax crystal on heat transfer mode, with the corresponding governing equations being established for different regions. With the proposed model, the effects of natural-convection on heat transfer, latent heat release, location change of condensate reservoir, heat transfer mechanism, and other key issues in the process of oil phase transition were analyzed.
Experimental investigation of pre-drying data for some medicinal herbs in forced convection
Authors: Poos Tibor , Varju Evelin
Published: December 2019

The special active agent content of herbs makes them suitable for healing and health preservation. The key element in the processing of herbs and spices is drying. Before drying, the medicinal plants should be stored under appropriate conditions to avoid deterioration of quality where one of the possible methods is pre-drying with ambient air. This work defines the determination of main operational parameters at forced convection drying with ambient air like drying rate, volume decrease, maximum drying air velocity, and porosity for various medicinal plants (common yarrow ? Achillea collina, giant goldenrod ? Solidago gigantea, wormwood ? Artemisia, walnut leaf ? Juglandis folium, wild carrot ? Daucus carota). To determine the drying rate, a convective dryer was used where the average drying rate of common yarrow and wild carrot were the highest followed by giant goldenrod, walnut leaf and wormwood. Measurements were made on a pilot plant fluidized bed dryer to determine the volume decrease and the maximum drying air velocity. The volume decrease was determined as a function of time and moisture content. It was found that the maximum drying air velocity for each medicinal plant was between 1.8 and 2.2 m/s. In addition, for each herb the porosity was measured by an air pycnometer.

Authors: Karabulut Koray
Published: December 2019

Plate heat exchangers have a widespread usage and the simplest parallel plate channel structures. Cross-corrugated ducts are basic channel geometries used in the plate heat exchangers. In this study, the increasing of heat transfer from the cross-corrugated triangular ducts by inserting triangular baffles with different placement angles into the channel upper side and pressure drop have been numerically investigated. Numerical calculations have been carried out to solve Navier-Stokes and energy equations by employing k-? turbulence model as 3-D and steady with ANSYS-FLUENT program. While inlet temperature of the air used as working fluid is 293 K, constant surface temperature values of the the lower corrugated channel walls are 373 K. The height of the baffle and apex angle of the corrugated duct have been taken constant as 0.5 H and 60?, respectively. Investigated Reynolds number range is 1000-6000 while the baffle placement angles are 30?, 45?, 60?, and 90?. Numerical results of this study are within 3.53% deviation with experimental study existed in literature. The obtained results have been presented as mean Nusselt number temperature and pressure variations of the fluid for each baffle angle. The temperature and velocity vector contour distributions have been also assessed for different Reynolds numbers and baffle angles. The value of the Num for the corrugated channel with 60? baffle angle is 8.2% higher than that of the 90? for the Re = 4000. Besides, for Re = 1000 the value of the pressure drop is 39% lower in the channel with 60? baffle angle than that of 90?.

Authors: Liu Yuwei , Ji Yameng , Ye Fuhao , Zhang Weizheng , Zhou Shujun
Published: December 2019

Thermal contact resistance between interfaces is an important parameter in the analysis of temperature distribution for structural components. Thermal contact resistance between heat resistant steel 2Cr12NiMoWV/aluminum alloy BH137 interfaces and 2Cr12NiMoWV/titanium alloy ?-TiAl interfaces were experimentally investigated in the present paper. The effects of contact pressure and interface tem-perature were detailed. The temperature of contacting surfaces was from 80- 250?, and the contact pressure ranged from 2-17 MPa. All experiments were conducted in ambient atmosphere. Results showed that thermal contact resistance decreases with an increment of interface temperature or contact pressure. Under the same conditions of contact pressure and interface temperature, thermal contact resistance between 2Cr12NiMoWV and BH137 interfaces is lower than that between 2Cr12NiMoWV and ?-TiAl interfaces. The temperature dependence of thermal conductivity and mechanical properties was analyzed to explain the results. Furthermore, with the piston and piston pin as the research object, steady state temperature fields were simulated in cases of considering thermal contact resistance and without considering thermal contact resistance, respectively. The results showed that the maximum temperature of the piston pin will be lower when thermal contact resistance is considered.

Physicochemical Properties of Road Dust in Moscow
Authors: Kasimov Nikolay S. , Kosheleva Natalia E. , Vlasov Dmitry V. , Nabelkina Ksenia S. , Ryzhov Alexander V.
Published: December 2019

Road dust is a composite substance formed due to wear of different components of transport infrastructure and motor vehicles. In 2017, 214 road dust samples were collected in Moscow to analyze pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and organic carbon (Cоrg) content that controls the ability of dust to fix pollutants. The road dust was dominated by sand and silt size particles (the share of PM10 particles varies from 2.3% to 39%) and had alkaline pH (6.4–8.1), high EC (33–712 μS/cm) and Cоrg (0.17–6.7%). The road dust is alkalinized by detergents and particles formed by abrasion of roadways and blown out from construction sites. A three-fold excess of the EC over the background values (dust in parks) is mainly due to the use of the de-icing agents and roadway maintenance. But the concentration of Cоrg in the Moscow’s road dust is on average 2 times lower compared to the background values; the increased content of Cоrg in the courtyards is associated with the application of organic fertilizers. The most significant factor that determines the physicochemical properties of the dust was the type of a road. The dust on large roads including the Third Ring Road had higher pH (7.0–8.0) and EC (98–712 μS/ cm); it contained higher proportions of the fine particle-size fractions compared to other roads. The Cоrg content in the road dust was minimum on Moscow’s major radial highways due to the insignificant contribution of soil particles. The spatial trends in variability of the physicochemical properties of the dust in Moscow were not evident as they were to a large extent masked by other factors: proximity to industrial zones and large forest parks, differences in the de-icing agents used, unequal frequencies of road cleaning, and the various contribution of soil particles that vary in composition and genesis in different parts of Moscow.

The paper presents an inventory of current forest formations and a map of forest vegetation in the Moscow region. To assess current forest formations, an approach integrating both ground- and remote sensing data was applied. The transformation of forests in the Moscow region was evaluated by the criteria of changing the quality, quantity and spatial configuration of forests, in accordance with the model SLOSS (Single Large or Several Small). The conceptual model "Pressure-State-Response" (hereinafter PRS) was used to develop appropriate tools for sustainable environmental management in the region. The use of this model made it possible not only to assess the state of forests but also to determine the main impacts affecting them, as well as the effectiveness of measures aimed at optimizing environmental management regimes in order to maintain forest biodiversity. Complex assessment of sets of indicators for each group of PRS criteria is performed for the integrated multicriteria assessment of sustainable forest management within the boundaries of urban districts. The average normalized score was calculated for each group of criteria. Correlation between the scores of the groups of criteria evaluated and classification of administrative units according to the ratio of groups of the K-means method criteria performed. As a result of component-by-component evaluation, the values of indicators are presented in form of tables and map сharts. Benchmarking of Specially Protected Natural Area (SPNA) system and reforestation activities is performed regarding to the forest biodiversity conservation in the urban districts. It is shown that single integrated assessment of the ecological value of the territory (the "State" criterion), an integrated assessment of impact factors (the "Load") and appropriate actions to maintain forest biodiversity (the "Response" criterion) can be considered as an expression of generalized information directly used in decision-making and assessment of current trends for a particular region.

Published: December 2019

Although snow cover is studied as an efficient scavenger for atmospheric mercury (Hg), up to now little is known about Hg behaviour in urban snow cover impacted by thermal power plants (TPPs) during the winter heating season. This study is focused on quantification of Hg in the particulate phase in snow cover and estimation of atmospheric particulate Hg (HgP) depositional fluxes around urban TPPs in cities of Omsk, Kemerovo, Yurga, Tomsk (the south part of Western Siberia, Russia) to provide new insight into Hg occurrence in urban snow. The results demonstrate that the mean Hg content in the particulate phase of snow varied from 0.139 to 0.205mg kg-1, possibly depending on thermal power of TPPs and fuel type used. The estimated mean atmospheric HgP depositional fluxes ranged from 6.6 to 73.1 mg km-2 d-1. Around thermal power plants atmospheric HgP depositional flux was controlled by particulate load. Higher Hg contents in the particulate phase of snow and higher atmospheric HgP depositional fluxes observed in relation to the background values, as well as high enrichment factors determined for Hg in the particulate phase of snow relative to the mean Hg content in the Earth’s crust showed that the snow pollution with Hg is of anthropogenic origin. The coexistence of Hg and S observed for the particulate phase of snow indicated the possible presence of mercury sulfide in this phase. The parameters like Hg content in the particulate phase of snow and HgP atmospheric flux can be used as markers for the identification of coal combustion emission sources.

Authors: Eremina Irina D. , Vasil’chuk Jessica Yu.
Published: December 2019

This article summarizes the data of the chemical composition and the acidity of the seasonal snow precipitation for the cold periods 1999-2006 (n=180), 2010-2013 (n=82) and 2018-2019 (n=18) in different parts of Moscow. Major ions content was measured, such as SO42-, НСO3-, Cl-, NO3-, Са2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+ and NH4+, also pH and sum of ions (mg/L) were measured. During the 2018-2019 season, snowpack samples were taken twice at 4 sites in Moscow: two in the North-East Administrative Okrug (NEAO) near the road and in the park at the distance of 3 km from each other, and two in the South- Western Administrative Okrug (SWAO) and in the Western Administrative Okrug (WAO) near the road and in the park at the distance of 6 km from each other. Samples were taken with a break of 5 days to determine the dynamics of the chemical composition within the beginning of the snow-melting. In each pair of sampling sites there was one that is located in the park and one located near the road. This experiment showed a slight variability of the chemical composition of snow during 5 days under the influence of the new snowfall. In general, there is a trend of changing the composition of snow from calcium carbonate to calcium chloride, which is mainly connected to the use of anti-icing reagents; for the same reason, the areas that are closer to the roads are the most polluted.

Occupational diseases are one of the major health problems related to workplace hazards. However, the epidemiological data for this problem is scarce especially among Small and Medium Industry (SMI) workers. These workers are vulnerable to occupational health problem due to lack of knowledge and implementation of health and safety in the workplace. In Malaysia, most of the SMI workers have limited coverage for basic occupational health services which may worsen their health. Thus, this article aims to provide a review on the burden of occupational health problems among them. The electronic and library searches were used to extract the information from both published and unpublished articles that were not limited to any year of publication until 2017. One hundred and ninety-six published articles and 198 unpublished articles were retrieved from the database. Only 19 published articles and 25 unpublished articles met the eligibility criteria. Prevalence data of occupational diseases/poisoning, including overall and body specific (musculoskeletal disorders) was extracted in raw data from the eligible studies. Prevalent statistics on occupational musculoskeletal diseases (1.3% - 97.6%), noise-induced hearing loss (29.4% - 73.3%), occupational skin diseases (10.5% - 84.3%), respiratory (1.9% - 92.2%) and occupational poisoning (14.9% - 17.7%) among the working population is different within published papers compared to unpublished ones. In Malaysia, there are no specific statistic that give a true picture of the burden of occupational diseases in the SMI. However, this review concludes that musculoskeletal diseases are significant occupational problems among SMI workers.
Leptin: a pleitropic factor in physiology

Published: December 2019

Leptin, a 16 kDa protein and a product of the ob/ob gene, has a tertiary structure similar to that of a cytokine. It is primarily secreted by white adipose tissue and its levels in the blood correlate positively with percentage body fat. Leptin was first identified in 1994 as a major factor that regulated food intake and energy balance. Leptin in the circulation exists either as a free monomeric hormone or bound to its soluble receptor. Its serum levels usually range from 0.5 to 37.7 ng/ml in males and 2.0 to 45.2 ng/ml in females. The half-life of leptin is between 20 - 30 minutes and it is eliminated mainly by the kidneys. However, research over the last 25 years has revealed numerous other physiological roles for leptin, including roles in inflammation, immune function, neuro-endocrine function, bone metabolism, blood pressure regulation and sexual maturation. Most of these roles have been identified from studies on leptin deficient rodents. Apart from energy balance and sexual maturation, where its role is direct and obvious, its actions on the rest of the other systems are permissive. Actions of leptin are both centrally and peripherally mediated involving receptors that are widely distributed in the body. Six leptin receptor isoforms, belonging to the class 1 cytokine receptor family, have been identified. These receptors are products of the OBR gene. The cellular actions of leptin are mediated through any one of five different signalling pathways that include the JAK-STAT, PI3K, MAPK, AMPK, and the mTOR signalling pathways.

Integrated defence workforces: Challenges and enablers of military–civilian personnel collaboration
Authors: Goldenberg Irina , Andres Manon , Österberg Johan , James-Yates Sylvia , Johansson Eva , Pearce Sean
Published: December 2019

Defence organisations are unique in that they comprise integrated military and civilian personnel working in partnership with each other (e.g., in headquarters, on bases, on missions, in academic settings). Many defence civilians are supervised by military supervisors and managers, while others are themselves responsible for managing military personnel. At the same time, despite often high levels of partnership and integration, military and civilian personnel are governed by very different personnel management systems, and have distinct cultures. These factors can affect the nature and quality of the collaboration and influence personnel outcomes and organisational effectiveness. Indeed, defence organisations are increasingly recognizing the importance of optimizing integration between their military and civilian workforces, with many adopting organisational terms implying that the military and civilian workforces form a cohesive whole: the Defence Team (Canada), the Whole Force Concept (United Kingdom), One Defence Team (Sweden), and Total Defence Workforce (New Zealand).

This paper presents results from the Military–Civilian Personnel Survey (MCPS), which was administered in 11 nations as part of a NATO Research Task Group on the topic of military-civilian personnel collaboration and integration (NATO STO HFM RTG-226). This survey was the first systematic examination of large samples of military and civilian respondents, and the first to examine military–civilian relations from the perspective of both military and civilian personnel. The results presented here are based on three open-ended questions included in the survey, which asked respondents to identify 1) the most important factors for establishing and maintaining positive military-civilian personnel work culture and relations, 2) the challenges of working in a military-civilian environment, and 3) the main advantages of working in a military-civilian environment. Results of 5 nations, including Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (n =1,513 military respondents and n = 2,099 defence civilians) are presented. Results indicate that mixed military-civilian work environments present both unique challenges and advantages, and identified the factors considered to be important for enhancing integration and collaboration between military and civilian personnel. Given that many cross-national patterns emerged, these findings provide useful insights for enhancing military and civilian personnel integration and collaboration across nations.

Saying no to military service – obligation, killing and inequality as experienced problems in conscription-based military in Finland
Authors: Kosonen Jarkko , Alisa Puustinen , Teemu Tallberg
Published: December 2019

While studying citizen-soldiers, their dual identity as a soldier and a civilian have been highlighted. A citizen-soldier’s role is linked to citizenship and its obligation. The dual identity or critical voices of conscription or reserve forces have neither been recognized in research nor been debated publicly in Finland. The aim of this article is to analyse the reasons why some conscripts raise critical voices concerning their relationship with conscription and their role as reservists. The study is based on the interviews of 38 non-military service men and 33 men who resigned from the reserve in 2017. The data was analysed using content analysis. According to the results, the main problems with regard to conscription and armed defence, among the conscripts, relate to inequality of the conscription system, obligation to serve and lack of discretion. For individual conscripts as citizen-soldiers, the problem of killing has special weight when they reflect upon their own role in the possible act of war. Conscripts and their expertise could be used more extensively in a wider range of security-related issues than in armed defence alone.

Although the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) supervised all of the television programs, there are a lot of programs getting a warning because of breaking the rule of P Broadcasting Code of Conduct (P3) and Broadcasting Program Standard (SPS). Focusing on program Pagi-Pagi Pasti Happy, this research investigated the authority of KPI in terms of being a watchdog of television content in Indonesia. This research deployed political economy theory because it has studied not only media analysis in general but also the problems faced by the media industry and who controlled media. To criticize the authority of KPI in maintaining a code of conduct over the broadcasting content, three KPI’s commissioners, two television program representatives, and a media observer were interviewed. Based on interviews, the researcher found that dialogue preferred by KPI in supervising the television content confirmed that the current KPI’s commissioner has compromised with private television stations. KPI is more likely to support the existing television business system nowadays to gain maximum profit for the media investor. The findings suggest that role as KPI’s commissioner has been used to gain more power in the future.

Bu
çalışmada, evlerimizin birer ferdi gibi yetiştirilen pet hayvanlarının mevcut
durumu, beslenme şekilleri ve barınma şartları ile Alanya ve Mardin’deki pet
hayvan sahiplerinin sosyo-demografik yapılarında ne gibi farklılıkların
olduğunun tespit edilmesi ve pet hayvanı sahiplerinin pet hayvanı yetiştiriciliğine
bakışlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma materyalini, Antalya ili Alanya
ilçesinde ve Mardin ilinde yaşayan, yaşları 18-79 (ortalama 34.26) arasında
değişen, pet kliniklerine gelen, rastgele belirlenmiş ve gönüllü olarak katılan,
toplam 244 pet hayvan sahibi ile yüz yüze yapılan anket çalışmasından elde
edilen veriler oluşturmuştur. Bu verilere göre; katılımcıların %43.6’sı Alanya,
%56.4’ü ise Mardin’de yaşamaktadır. Ankete katılan pet hayvan sahiplerinin Alanya
ve Mardin de sırasıyla; %51.9 ve %56.5’i erkek olduğu, ayrıca Alanya’da %56.6’sı
bekâr iken Mardin’de %59.4 evli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Pet hayvanı sahiplerinin
Alanya’da %29.2’si diğer meslek grubunda iken Mardin’de %39.1’i memur olduğu
tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların pet hayvanını Alanya’da %29.2’lik aynı oranla
sokak ve pet shoptan sahiplenir iken Mardin’de %37.7’si arkadaşından
sahiplendiği belirlenmiştir. Tatilde pet hayvanını Alanya’da %36.8’i arkadaşına
bırakır iken, Mardin’de %46.4’ünün yanında götürdüğü tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç
olarak, evlerimizin birer ferdi gibi yetiştirilen pet hayvanlarının durumu ve
bulunduğu ortamlar farklı yerleşim yerlerinde benzer gibi görünse de, pet
hayvan sahiplerinin sosyo-demografik yapılarında ve pet hayvanı
yetiştiriciliğine bakışlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıkların
olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
