Franchise in Islamic Law Perspectives
Authors: Mustofa Mustofa
Published: September 2019

Franchising is a trend of effective and efficient business development in the present, because it is very beneficial material can also be a smart solution to minimize the sense of prestige or low self-esteem to sell or entrepreneurship for new graduates or scholars who have just completed their studies. Likewise for beginner entrepreneurs who are still afraid of the loss that is always haunting, Francise is one solution. Apart from being able to bring big and fast profits, it can also bring prestige to the managers. The development of a franchise that is very fast on the ground is expected to raise questions whether the Francise system or franchise is in accordance with Islamic values? In the context of classical fiqh, the term franchise is not known. For this reason, it is necessary to discuss Islamic economic discourse with this franchise pattern, so that we can speak classically: "can take the bad and the bad" from the franchise system that was born from the west. Like clothing fashion that comes from abroad, it must be adapted to the provisions of the Shari'a, besides clothing is really fashionable and trendy, but the important thing must also be to close the genitals. For a Muslim, muamalah is worldly freedom, for which the perpetrator is given the freedom to develop and create according to the progress of the times. Even so, freedom in making rules in bermu'amalah can not get out of shari'ah values.
Kritik atas Fikih Lintas Agama: Studi atas Pemikiran Kaum Revivalis
Authors: Liputo Siti Hardianti , Kau Sofyan A. P.
Published: September 2019

Tulisan ini mengungkap kritik Islam revivalis atas pandangan Tim Penulis Paramadina melalui buku Fiqh Lintas Agama Membangun Masyarakat Inklusif-Pluralis yang membolehkan perkawinan beda agama tanpa membedakan apakah ahlul Kitab, musyrik dan kafir. Demikian juga kebolehan atas waris beda agama. Pendapat ini didasarkan atas paradigma fikih inklusif, yang akomodatif terhadap hak-hak minoritas. Akomodasi fikih ini didasarkan atas argumen teologis-normatif dengan merujuk kepada surat al-Mâidah ayat 5. Sedangkan secara historis adanya bukti praktik sahabat yang mengawini wanita non muslim. Karena itu, pelarangan atas pernikahan beda agama dalam fikih klasik lebih bersifat ijtihadi. Sementara kebolehan waris beda agama tidak ditegaskan secara eksplisit oleh teks, sebaliknya adanya teks (riwayat) Mu‟azd  dan  Mu‟awiyah  yang  membolehkan.  Pendapat  Tim  Penulis  Paramadina  ini menuai kritik dari Islam revivalis dengan merujuk kepada pendapat ulama fikih klasik yang menyepakati keharaman perkawinan dan waris beda agama. Dalam hal yang disebut  terakhir,  Islam  revivalis  berargumen  bahwa  riwayat  Mu‟azd  dan  Mu‟awiyah tidak disepakati kevalidannya dibandingkan dengan riwayat yang melarang seorang muslim mewarisi orang kafir. Sedangkan mendahulukan dalil yang disepakti kevalidannya adalah lebih utama diperpegangi daripada dalil yang tidak disepakti kevalidannya. Demikian juga memilih pendapat mayoritas atas pendapat minoritas  jauh lebih dikedepankan. Hal mana mayoritas ulama melarang nikah beda agama adalah haram karena pernyataan tekstual ayat, kecuali nikah dengan ahlul Kitab. Itu pun kebolehan tersebut bersifat darurat. Bahkan dampak buruk perkawinan beda  agama harus didahulukan daripada mengambil manfaat. Pandangan mayoritas ulama fikih klasik diikuti oleh MUI, NU dan Muhammadiyah, serta tokoh dan pemikir Islam Indonesia lainnya. Meskipun ruang dan jalan alternatif tersedia dalam opini hukum minoritas, tetapi tidak dapat dipraktikan di Indonesia. Karena undang-undang perkawinan no. 1 tahun 1974 dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam tidak mengakomodir sehingga kehilangan keabsahannya secara legal.

The World Gastroenterology Organization regards celiac disease as a chronic multicomponent autoimmune disease of the predominantly proximal small intestine, which develops with the use of products containing gluten. Celiac disease is difficult to diagnose due to the multisymptomatic course that can change throughout life. Celiac disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with incomplete penetrance. There are new approaches to the treatment of celiac disease, based on some immune pathogenetic links. In particular, the ways of influencing the intraluminal digestion of gluten, the improvement of barrier functions, the effectiveness of immunomodulators are being studied. Patients should be advised to carefully check the contents of the ingredients before purchasing products.

Medical routes (MM) of 75 completed cases of medical care for exacerbations of chronic eczema (CE) with distribution by organizational levels were studied. The analysis of diagnostic and treatment-and-prophylactic care at the primary level. In 54.7±5.7% of cases MM began at the general practitioner-family medicine (OPSM), at 32.0± 5.4 – at the dermatovenerologist.Results. The beginning of treatment in 78.7±4.7% of cases was carried out by a dermatovenerologist, while at a physician OPSM – by 12.0±3.8%. This indicates a lack of separation and functional cooperation between different organizational levels of medical care.Conclusion. Analysis of the complexity of the medical routes of patients with CE revealed that 46.7±5.8% of completed cases of medical care were performed only at one organizational level, mainly at the second level. The need to improve both the directions of postgraduate training and the development of algorithms for the distribution and cooperation of functions between different organizational levels of medical care has been determined.

Please do not copy or cite without authors' permission. The final article will be available, upon publication, via its DOI: 10.1037/ppm0000263 We explore how specific behaviors on Facebook inform interpersonal perceptions. We conducted two studies which explored the impact of linguistic (Study 1) and emotional cues (Study 2) on interpersonal perceptions of a fictitious target. In both studies, a between-participants design was used, whereby participants were randomly allocated to one of three cue conditions, and were presented with a Facebook profile which varied in the respective cue usage, and asked to provide personality perceptions. Study 1 conditions varied in linguistic cues (accurate spelling, one error, multiple errors) and Study 2 in emotional cues (no emoji, one happy emoji, multiple happy emoji). Study 1 found linguistic accuracy was related to perceptions of target extraversion. Specifically the target was rated more extraverted in the control condition with no errors relative to a single error condition. Study 2 results suggested that emoji cues did not have any significant impact upon trait perceptions. Taken together, the findings suggest that “less is more” when making judgements specifically for extraversion.

On the other hand, the CT data obtained in the same setting provides anatomical localization of the 18F-FDG-PET data while also improving the FDG-PET image quality as it is utilized for attenuation correction. Previously, most of the studies were done on this topic by using 18F-FDG-PET alone. Present study was planning to assess the role of 18F-FDG-PET/CT in evaluation of treatment response in patient of HD and NHL. Results showed that 43 patients out of 52 showed no pathologic FDG uptakes, whereas 9 showed persistent uptakes. Among the 43 patients who had negative PET scans, only three relapsed, whereas among the 9 patients who had persistent abnormal 18F-FDG uptakes on post therapy PET/CT scans, two recovered. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and accuracy of post therapy PET/CT scan was 70%, 95%, 78%, 93%, and 90% respectively.

Authors: Kandel Noor Dev , Lamichhane Nirmal
Published: September 2019

Primary pancreatic lymphoma is an extremely rare tumor of pancreas which clinico-radiologically mimics with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The disease is diagnosed often after radical resection of pancreas. We report a case of 63 years old Chinese gentle man with diagnosis of Primary pancreatic lymphoma who was diagnose after surgical resection. Primary pancreatic lymphoma should also be considered as differential diagnosis in pancreatic tumors. There can be some radiological clues but accurate diagnosis depends on histopathological examination. Definitive treatment still remains controversial.

Peripheral Neuropathy can be acute or gradual over the years turning severe and quite debilitating to the patient. Diabetes, Alcohol or Drugs are some of the common causes of neuropathies however a small percentage of patients can present with paraproteinemia. The cause of paraproteinemia in these patients range from benign to serious malignant disorders such as Multiple Myeloma. We here report a case of an elderly patient who had to visit multiple center for over 4 months for his chronic neuropathy. Following extensive workup, he was started on an immunomodulating agent and glucocorticoids. Patient has remained free of disease and symptom free throughout treatment and thereafter.

Background: Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor in the urinary system, in which non muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the most common. The recurrence rate of the patients after operation is high, which has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of the patients. Therefore, how to reduce the recurrence rate of NMIBC patients is the focus of clinical research.

Objectives: To study the recurrent factor of NMIBC after surgery for promotion of therapeutic efficacy.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of one hundred patients of carcinoma of urinary bladder were consecutively enrolled and data on gender, age, tumor stage, tumor grade, tumor size, tumor configuration, multiplicity, date of surgery, tumor histology, recurrence history, resident area, frequency of tumor recurrence, follow-up history as screening target to analyze by Cox proportional-risk model, and screen dependent factor which can be used to predict tumor recurrent risk after surgery.

Results: Tumor size, tumor stage, tumor grade, frequency of tumor recurrence, multiplicity and history of regular follow-up are related to NMIBC recurrence after surgery.

Conclusion: Aggregate analysis of these factors can evaluate recurrent risk of NMIBC and it is significant to the therapy of NMIBC.

Authors: Nandari Wibiana Wulan , Prasetyo Imam , Fahrurrozi Moh
Published: September 2019

Metana merupakan sumber energi alternatif yang sangat potensial dan melimpah serta  menghasilkan emisi CO2 yang lebih rendah ketika digunakan sebagai bahan bakar karena kandungan C dalam molekul metana jauh lebih kecil dari kandungan H nya. Selain ada dalam bentuk gas, metana di alam juga bisa berada dalam bentuk metana hidrat. Setiap  volume metana hidrat mengandung sebanyak 164 volume gas metana dalam keadaan standar (STP). Proses terbentuknya metana hidrat di alam dapat diadopsi sebagai metode penyimpanan gas metana. Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan percobaan pembentukan metana hidrat pada karbon mesopori dengan jumlah air yang bervariasi untuk mengetahui kandungan air optimum untuk membentuk metana hidrat secara efektif. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengadsorpsi gas metana pada karbon berpori yang basah dengan metode static volumetric. Untuk mengetahui rasio yang optimum terhadap proses terbentuknya metana hidrat, maka pada penelitian ini dilakukan percobaan dengan rasio berat air dibandingkan karbon berpori 0,5 ; 1 ; 1,5 ; 2. Sistem adsorpsi dikondisikan pada suhu 275 K dengan maksud untuk menghindari terbentuknya es (sistem dikondisikan diatas titik beku air). Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa rasio air : karbon mesopori yang memberikan jumlah metana hidrat yang paling besar adalah pada R = 1
Pengaruh Limbah Industri Batik Menggunakan Pewarna Alami dari Desa Wukirsari terhadap Viabilitas Bakteri Tanah
Authors: Ratih Yanisworo Wijaya
Published: September 2019

Industri batik menggunakan pewarna alami sedang berkembang. Pewarna alami diperoleh dengan melakukan ekstraksi pada beberapa tanaman seperti jolawe (Terminalia bellirica), mahoni (Swieteniamacrophylla mahoni) dan indigo (Indigofera tinctoria). Beberapa tanaman penghasil pewarna alami sering digunakan sebagai antibiotik alami karena mampu menghambat pertumbuhan mikrobia. Kemampuan senyawa tersebut menghambat pertumbuhan mikrobia perlu diwaspadai karena ada kemungkinan bahwa paparannya dalam tanah dapat mengurangi populasi mikrobia. Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh limbah industri batik pewarna alami terhadap viabilitas bakteri tanah. Pengujian viabilitas sel dilakukan dengan mengamati pertumbuhan bakteri total, penambat nitrogen dan pelarut fosfat dalam tanah yang ditambah dengan masing-masing limbah jolawe, indigo, mahoni dan limbah pewarna campuran. Limbah dan tanah yang digunakan berasal dari desa Wukirsari, Imogiri, Kabupaten Bantul, DIY. Dilakukan pula karakterisasi terhadap limbah dan tanah yang digunakan. Parameter utama yang diamati meliputi jumlah sel bakteri total, penambat nitrogen dan pelarut fosfat, pH, serta kadar fenolik dan flavonoid. Jumlah bakteri total, penambat nitrogen dan pelarut fosfat diamati dengan metode taburan berturut-turut dalam media  nutrien agar, Jensen’s dan Pikovskaya, sedangkan fenolik dan flavonoid dianalisis menggunakan metode spetrofotometrik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa limbah meningkatkan pH tanah dari 5 menjadi 6,7. Kadar flavonoid dan fenolik limbah berturut-turut berkisar antara 0,14% sampai dengan 0,70% dan 0,18% sampai dengan 1,76%. Viabilitas sel bakteri tidak dipengaruhi oleh kadar flavonoid dan fenolik limbah. Pada umumnya limbah batik pewarna alami tidak menurunkan viabilitas bakteri tanah.
Cultures of Enthusiasm: An Ethnographic Study of Amateur Map-Maker Communities
Authors: Duggan Mike
Published: September 2019

Further attention should be paid to contextualizing the spaces and practices of amateur map-making. Doing so will provide further insight into the ways that maps, mapping epistemologies, and mapper identities emerge in the practices of everyday life. In order to deconstruct the map, and ultimately the power of maps, it is necessary to investigate maps from the bottom up as well as the top down. The motivations of amateur cartographers, the contexts in which map-making takes place, and the technological processes involved are all important factors to consider when examining how and why maps are produced. Empirical ethnographic evidence from a study of OpenStreetMap and humanitarian “mapping parties” is presented here to demonstrate how the often overlooked cultures of amateur map-making offer novel perspectives on who contemporary map-makers are and what motivates them to map. It is shown that amateur map-making is a broad category that includes close-knit hobby communities and more diverse groups of enthusiastic volunteers. As cartography continues to open up and become more accessible through a range of digital mapping technologies, studying these shifts will be important for understanding how and why the role of the map in contemporary life is changing.
Veteran resilience following combat-related amputation

Published: September 2019

Introduction: Amputation following combat-related injury places substantial stress on survivors and their spouses. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of combat-related amputation among military Veterans and explore pathways to resilient behaviours. Methods: This qualitative study used a purposeful sample of male US military Veterans and their partners. We used the Metatheory of Resilience and Resiliency (MRR) as a conceptual framework for understanding the drives that promote growth through adversity and disruptions. MRR was also used to characterize each Veterans’ state of resilience after the amputation. Results: The majority of Veterans returned to their baseline level of functioning (reintegration back to homeostasis) and that some Veterans are functioning better than before the amputation (resilient reintegration). Discussion: Veterans who appear to have built a life post-amputation exhibited the following resilience drives: finding perspective and purpose (universal resilience), living consistent with one’s values and character strengths (character resilience), and accessing positive social support (ecological resilience). Practitioners should be alert to these themes among Veterans with traumatic amputation.
Performance and health effects of mild hypoxic hypoxia in simulated 6-hour exposures between 2,438 and 3,048 metres

Introduction: The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) imposes a daily 4-hour (h)limit for operating unpressurized aircrafts, including helicopters, between 2,438 and 3,048 m (8,000 [8K] and 10,000 [10K] ft) if supplemental oxygen (O2) is unavailable. This regulation may negatively impact RCAF operations because weight and space restrictions limit sufficient O2 to achieve mission success. The effects of exposure durations beyond the 4-h limit are currently unknown, but extensions have the potential to improve operational effectiveness. This study examined the effects of hypoxic exposures on symptoms, mood and performance as a function of altitude and exposure duration. Methods: Seventeen military helicopter pilots were randomly exposed to two 6-h altitude levels (8K and 9.9K) on 2 separate days in a hypobaric chamber. Daily, participants periodically performed a simulated rotary wing flight task, and completed a cognitive test battery. Cerebral regional and finger pulse oxyheamoglobin saturation levels and heart rate were continuously monitored. Participants indicated their subjective hypoxia signs and symptoms, mood and fatigue. Results: Exposure to altitude significantly decreased cerebral and pulse O2 saturations, but values remained steady during the 6-h exposure. No negative decrements were observed on cognition or simulation performance. Self-reported symptoms of fatigue and headache were reported at altitude with a slight increase with time. Discussion: No clear evidence of significant deficits on performance was observed in participants when exposed to mild levels of hypoxia for up to 6 h without supplemental O2.
