Development and innovation for both antimicrobial functional packaging (active packaging and nanocomposite materials) from renewable polymers. This study aims to include ZnO nanoparticles in PLA (Polylactic Acid) paper layers in antimicrobial packaging applications. The method used for the manufacture of ZnO nanoparticles is the precipitation method and heating method in the manufacture of PLA-ZnO nanocomposite by varying 0.5%, 2% and 3.5% ZnO NP. The results obtained are in SEM images showing that the nanoparticles are distributed homogeneously on the surface. Antimicrobial tests showed that nanocomposite worked effectively in deactivating E. coli and S. aureus. Furthermore, E. coli was found to be more susceptible to this type of nanocomposite, showing a reduction of 3.4 log to 3.5% ZnO loading in the PLA layer. Based on the results, it can be explained that the ZnO nanoparticles have several active mechanisms, and different antimicrobial testing methods can only activate some of the mechanisms. In addition, nano-activated packaging materials for food contact applications and market prospects are analyzed.
IMPLEMENTASI UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 1 TAHUN 1974 TENTANG IZIN POLIGAMI DI PENGADILAN AGAMA BUKITTINGGI (Studi Kasus Perkara Nomor 081/Pdt.G/2013/PA.Bkt dan Perkara Nomor 0328/Pdt.G.2015/PA.Bkt)

Published: October 2019

Ketentuan poligami sebagaimana di atur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 menyatakan bahwa seorang suami yang akan berpoligami harus memenuhi persyaratan alternatif dan persyaratan kumulatif. Tanpa terpenuhi kedua syarat dimaksud, maka permohonan poligami akan ditolak oleh hakim. Namun dalam kenyataannya, Pengadilan Agama Bukittinggi berbeda dalam memutuskan dua perkara poligami yang keduanya sama-sama memenuhi syarat kumulatif dan tidak memenuhi syarat alternatif. Dalam kasus pertama perkara Nomor 081/Pdt.G/2013/PA.Bkt hakim telah menerima permohonan poligami, sedangkan dalam kasus kedua perkara Nomor 0328/Pdt.G/2015/PA.Bkt. hakim tidak menerima (NO) perkara tersebut. Implementasi Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang izin poligami di Pengadilan Agama Bukittinggi tidak bersifat mutlak, pertimbangan hakim yang menerima dan memeriksa perkara Nomor 081/Pdt.G/2013/PA.Bkt adalah timbulnya mudharat jika perkara tersebut ditolak walaupun syarat alternatif tidak terpenuhi. Sedangkan hakim yang memeriksa perkara 0328/Pdt.G/2015/PA.Bkt berlandaskan pada ketentuan pasal 4 Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 menolak perkara tersebut karena tidak memenuhi syarat alternatif. Karena tidak terpenuhinya syarat alternatif oleh Pemohon maka permohonan izin poligami mengalami cacat formil. Untuk itu majelis hakim tidak perlu lagi memeriksa pokok perkara tersebut.
EKSISTENSI USHUL FIQH DALAM TAFSIR REALITAS SOSIAL DAN PERANAN PESANTREN DALAM MENJAGA DAN MENGEMBANGKANNYA
Authors: Ismail Ismail
Published: October 2019

Realitas sosial adalah kenyataan atau fakta yang terjadi dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Ia selalu berubah dan berkembang sesuai dengan perubahan dan perkembangan zaman. Dalam ajaran Islam realitas sosial tidak dibiarkan mengalir begitu saja, melainkan ada syariat yang mengatur dan mengarahkannya kepada sesuatu yang diridhai oleh Allah SWT. Ushul fiqh sebenarnya cukup bisa memberikan respon terhadap realitas sosial. Hanya saja, bukan ushul fiqh yang bertumpu pada makna teks. Melainkan, dengan ushul fiqh baru yang lebih mengedepankan sisi nalar atau bertumpu kepada maqashid syari’ah, yakni makna atau tujuan yang ada di balik teks. Ushul fiqh yang semacam ini yang kemudian juga mampu melahirkan fiqh kontekstual atau fiqh sosial yakni fiqh sebagai respon terhadap realitas sosial masyarakat. Pesantren sendiri sebenarnya sangat potensial untuk menjaga dan mengambangkan ilmu ushul fiqh semacam ini. Sebaliknya, tidak berkutat dengan fiqh tradisional (klasik) begitu juga ushul fiqh tradisional yang hanya terpaku kepada makna-makna literal.

Published: October 2019

This study aims to analyze whether the accountability and independency principles affect the preferences of muzakki to pay zakat to zakat management institutions. This study uses saturated samples by involving all members of the population as many as 30 permanent muzakki people who routinely pay their zakat to the PKPU Bukittinggi IZI Amil Zakat Institution. This study reveals that the accountability and independency principle has a positive and significant effect on muzakki's preference to pay zakat to zakat management institutions. These findings offer empirical evidence that it is important to implement accountability and independency principles in a zakat management organization to create muzakki preferences. With the existence of a clear system of accountability and reporting and the application of sound organizational principles, muzakki still chooses to distribute their zakat to the zakat management institution itself. Furthermore, this research recommends the strategy to increase muzakki trust in amil zakat institutions.

The vegetation of four mire systems of Southern Kamchatka Nature Protected Area was studied at the Pacific and Okhotsk Sea coasts to the south of Ozernaya River. The plant community classification based on the Ru­ssian ecologo-phytocoenological approach is ela­bo­rated. 8 associations (Herbosphagnetum eriopho­rosum sceuch­­zerii-polystachionis, H. empetroso sibirici-cari­cosum cryptocarpae, Magnocaricetum caricosum cryp­tocarpae, Uliginiherbetum caricoso-trichophorosum, U. carico­sum limosae, U. caricosum cryptocarpae, U. menyan­thosum and Empetretum sibirici sphagnosum) included into 4 formations (Herbosphagneta, Magno­cariceta, Uliginiherbeta and Empetreta sibirici) and 3 ve­getational types (Sphagnetion, Phragmitetion and Vacci­nio-Empet­retion) are distinguished. The characteristic of the syn­thaxa and the description of the mire systems structure are given. The mires of the studied area are concerned to be a separate Southern Kamchatka aapa-mire type. It differes from the other mires of the Kamchatka Peninsula by a thin (up to 90—100 cm) peat-bet, the peculiar floristical composition including some meadow and tundra species and the unusual structure characterised by the relict sand dunes in the central parts of the mires. The age of the mires determined by the means of the radiocarbon dating was considered to be not more than 5000—5500 years. The studied mire systems satisfied the requirements of the Ramsar Convention criteria and it was proposed to include the South Kamchatka mires into the List of Wetlands of International Importance

Published: October 2019

The revision of the high-rank classification units of the cl. Salicornietea fruticosae has been carried out. Two subclasses are included into the renewed system of syntaxa of this class: Arthrocnemenea uniting Mediterranean (usually coastal) communities of perennial hyperhalophytes and Kalidienea including mainly inland East-European and Asian communities. New orders, Artemisio-Puccinellietalia, Kalidietalia caspici and Kalidietalia gracilis, and a number of alliances and suballiances have been proposed. It is shown that the ord. Limonietalia should be displaced from the cl. Salicornietea fruticosae and referred to a more glycophytic class. The northern distribution limits of communities of the cl. Salicornietea fruticosae seems to coincide well with that of the Ancient Mediterranean region of M. G. Popov.

Published: October 2019

On a basis of analysis of original and published data collected from north-eastern regions of European Russia, two new associations of tall herb boreal forest communities have been characterized. The first one, named Aconito septentrionalis—Piceetum obovatae Zaugolnova et Morozova ex Zaugolnova et al. hoc loco, was proposed earlier (Zaugolnova, Morozova, 2004). Now it has been validly described. Association is distributed in northern and middle boreal subzones. The second one, named Pulmonaria obscurae—Piceetum abietis ass. nova hoc loco, is specified and validly described for the fist time. It is distributed in southern boreal subzone. These two associations can be considered as a quasi-climax succession stage of spruce forests on their eastern border in the Russian Plain. These communities have the highest species diversity among taiga forests Together with three others forest associations, earlier described from the Southern Urals (Martynenko et al., 2008), the mentioned two belong to a new sub-alliance Atrageno sibiricae—Piceenion obovatae suball. nov. hoc loco within alliance Piceion excelsae Pawłowsky in Pawłowski et al. 1928 (in boreal-forest class Vaccinio-Piceetea). Block of the sub-alliance diagnostic species includes a functional group of boreal tall herb species. Their ecological and geographic characteristics have been described.

The All-Russian scientific conference with international participation «VIIIth Galkina readings» («Readings devoted to the memory of Ekaterina Galkina») (February 2–3, 2017, St. Petersburg)
Authors: Smagin V. A.
Published: October 2019

The 8th Readings devoted to the memory of Ekaterina Galkina (so called “Galkina readings”), a traditional enlarged meeting of the Mire Science Panel of the Russian Botanical Society (RBS), took place on February 2–3, 2017, at the V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science. It was dedicated to World Wetlands Day, the 120th anniversary of E. A. Galkina, the 80th anniversary of her publication “Airplane Use in Plant Geography Studies”, and 80th anniversary of remote sensing studies of peatlands in Russia. The tradition to name the enlarged meetings of the RBS Mire Science Panel held in early February and dedicated to World Wetlands Day (February 2) as “Galkina Readings” began in 2007 with a celebration of the 110th anniversary of Ekaterina Alekseyevna Galkina. The number of meeting participants and talks have been growing ever since, with the most spectacular changes having occurred in the last two years. In 2017, the meeting enjoyed 63 representatives of 23 organizations, who delivered 36 talks. The abstracts of all talks, including four that were not presented due to the absence of the speakers, were published in the Proceedings. It was the first meeting where participants represented such a wide range of Russian regions, from Kaliningrad to Magadan. A list of research issues discussed at the meeting grew as well, with soil science and entomology having complemented traditional plant geography, hydrology, peat science, and bryology. For the first time, representatives of five strict nature reserves and national parks took part in the meeting. Following this trend, the format of “Galkina Readings” should be changed to a three-day conference instead of a two-day meeting. As soon as next year, international colleagues will be invited to participate in the meeting.
The new associations of sinanthropic vegetation of classes Artemisietea vulgaris and Galio-Urticetea in the Bashkortostan Republic
Authors: Golovanova Ya. M.
Published: October 2019

The most widespread types of vegetation of the urbanized territories are coenosis of synanthropic and, in narrower sense, ruderal plant species. Ruderal communities are developing on garbage and dumps (Reymers, 1991), but presently this term is used much more widely, and is applied also to vegetation in various habitats arising under man impact. For example, W. Holzner (1982) includes abandoned fields and fellings in this type. So, the concepts of synanthropic and ruderal vegetation are rather close now. Synanthropic and ruderal communities are mostly found in the urban locations. The study of synanthropic vegetation in the Republic of Bashkortostan was being conducted since 1980s (Ishbirdin, etc., 1988; Golovanov, Abramova, 2012, 2013 etc.). The given paper presents results of the long-term (2008–2015) research of vegetation of 5 towns (Sterlitamak, Salavat, Ishimbay, Meleuz, Kumertau) located in Cis-Urals. More than 1500 relevés of synanthropic vegetation which were accumulated in the database using TURBOVEG software (Hennekens, 1995), 71 complete relevés of communities, new to the studied area, are presented in this paper. Classification is carried out according to Braun-Blanquet method. The ecological conditions were assessed with use of average values of E. Landolt (1977) ecological scales and processed by IBIS software (Zverev, 2007). According to «Prodrome of plant associations of the Republic of Bashkortostan» (Yamalov et al., 2012), synanthropic vegetation includes 8 classes, 14 orders, 21 unions, 62 associations and 6 communities. New for this region are one union and 9 associations, 2 of which are firstly described in the Southern Urals, while the other 7 were previously known in other regions of Russia or Europe. New to Bashkortostan Republic and Russian Federation, are associations of 2 classes Artemisietea vulgaris and Galio-Urticetea. There are 5 associations (Tanaceto vulgaris–Artemisietum vulgaris, Artemisio vulgaris–Echinopsietum sphaerocephali, Melico transsilvanicae–Agropyretum repentis, Falcario vulgaris–Elytrigietum repentis, and new Convolvulo arvensis–Agropyretum pectinati confined to the driest habitats in steppe and southern part of forest-steppe zone of the Southern Urals) within the class Artemisietea vulgaris. Within the class Galio-Urticetea 4 associations (Geo urbani–Chelidonietum majoris, Calystegio sepium–Epilobietum hirsuti, Calystegio sepium–Eupatorietum cannabini and new Urtico dioicae–Rubetum caesii) were described. New syntaxa occur mainly in Sterlitamak and Kumertau. Sterlitamak is the second largest city of Bashkortostan with the diverse anthropogenic habitats. The town of Kumertau, located in the south part of forest-steppe zone, is rich by various fragments of natural vegetation from forests to steppes.
Steppes of the Northern Kazakhstan — the syntaxonomical revision
Authors: Korolyuk A. Yu.
Published: October 2019

Landscapes of the Northern Kazakhstan and southern part of the West Siberian Plain are deeply transformed and fragmented as a result of long-term agricultural exploitation. So, steppes became the most endangered ecosystems due to total ploughing of zonal soils. Presently, there are no large massifs of natural steppes. This determines the importance of data representing zonal steppe communities. One of the most important studies in this field is the publication by T. I. Isachenko and E. I. Rachkovskaya (1961), containing detailed characteristic of steppe vegetation from the Northern Kazakhstan and 199 relevés representing the unique dataset of zonal communities, which were destroyed later. Based on these data, Miloslav Toman (1969) has described the new order Helictotricho-Stipetalia, 2 alliances, 3 suballiances and 8 associations. He used only 40 of 199 original relevés, that led to some incorrect conclusions. This study presents the analysis of 199 steppe relevés from the publication in question. We used the following methods: (1) the table sorting; (2) numerical analysis using plant indicator values, (3) Detrended Correspondence (DCA). All relevés were assigned into the order Helictotricho-Stipetalia Toman 1969 (Festuco-Brometea Br.-Bl. et Tx. ex Soó 1947) that represents the typical bunchgrass steppes and some variants of meadow steppes. They are distributed across the northern part of steppe zone and the southern part of forest-steppe zone from the Southern Urals to Altai Mountains. The analysis showed that classification systems of steppe vegetation proposed by T. I. Isachenko and E. I. Rachkovskaya and M. Toman are not conflicting due to the fact that in both surveys plant communities were identified based upon species composition. The actual syntaxonomy of the order Helictotricho-Stipetalia can be successfully applied to the vegetation studies of large areas.
