The Nahwu Kufah Mazhab's View in Data Approach to Determining Rules
Authors: Aryobimo Bagusradityo , Abdurrahman Maman , Sopian Asep
Published: July 2023

Nahwu is the key and foundation of the Arabic language and its literature, so nahwu is an important thing to learn in Arabic. Not only in Arabic, nahwu also played a major role in the field of Islamic religious knowledge because the Al-Quran and Al-hadith, which are the main arguments in Islamic law, use Arabic. To understand both of them and not get lost in Islamic law, language knowledge, nahwu science is needed. Nahwu Kufah is underestimated by linguists because of the many weak narrations, and some of the narrations are not suggestive or contrived. This study aims to get to know the Nahwu Kufah school of thought and reveal whether or not this view is true. To seek this discussion, the author uses the literature review method, in which the writer looks for discussion and understanding related to the study and then puts the author's understanding in this discussion. The results of the literature review concluded that the difference in the problem of nahwu between Basrah and Kufah did not really affect the objectives of Nahwu science, where the purpose of nahwu was wasilah in Arabic, because the debate was only on branch issues. None of the nahwu scholars says fa'il is maf'ul or vice versa. Therefore this difference is not a big problem; everyone may argue on the matter of this branch.
Addressing Algorithmic Tacit Collusion: Insights from Market Investigations
Authors: Mleczko Marcin
Published: July 2023

This article explores the concept of algorithmic tacit collusion and the potential role of market investigation tools in addressing this issue. The use of algorithms in online sales markets has raised concerns about anti-competitive effects and the adequacy of current competition law provisions. The European Commission has been considering the implementation of a 'New Competition Tool' (NCT) to address structural competition issues beyond the scope of existing regulations. The UK's market investigation tool, regulated under the UK Enterprise Act of 2002, serves as a reference point for examining the potential insights and lessons that could inform the development of the NCT at the EU level. The article highlights the impact of algorithmic pricing on market transparency, the challenges of classifying algorithmic tacit collusion, and the potential for market investigations to address competition-related concerns. It also discusses the procedural safeguards embedded in the UK's market investigation system and the benefits of proactive competition promotion through market investigations. Finally, the article considers the implications of adopting similar tools at the EU level and the potential for enhancing the European Commission's competition enforcement framework.
The Principle of Legal Certainty in Dismissal of Civil Servants who have Reached the Retirement Age Limit and are Undergoing the Corruption Criminal Court Process
Authors: Kristiawan Stevanus Eka , Karjoko Lego
Published: July 2023

Civil Servant (PNS) is any government official who is part of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and has a working relationship with the state. The relationship is that civil servants are obliged to work in a government position and get protection and fulfillment of their rights. As ius constitutum, regulation of civil servants in Indonesia is regulated in Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning State Civil Apparatuses, which regulates retirement guarantees. In its implementation, obstacles arise if there are civil servants who have reached the Retirement Age Limit but at the same time are undergoing a corruption trial process that has not been inkracht. These Obstacles are the impact of the absence of the principle of legal certainty. The purpose of this study is to find out the legal regulations/norms regarding the dismissal of civil servants who have entered the retirement age limit and are currently undergoing a criminal justice process for corruption and the obstacles to its implementation from the aspect of the principle of legal certainty. The type of research used in this article is normative legal research. The results of the study, based on positive legal, show that the dismissal of civil servants who have reached the Retirement Age Limit has been regulated in Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning State Civil Apparatuses and their implementing regulations. However, there is still a void in legal norms governing civil servants who enter the Retirement Age Limit but at the same time undergo a trial process for criminal acts of corruption. This situation that the principle of legal certainty was not fulfilled and hampered the process of law enforcement in the state administration. For this reason, local governments are advised to immediately change or add to the legal norms contained in the Laws and Regulations, which specifically regulate civil servants who have entered the Retirement Age Limit but at the same time are undergoing a criminal justice process, so as to provide legal certainty and not create obstacles of the law of state administration.

Published: July 2023

Since early studies, the resource-based view that emerged in strategic management in the mid-1980s has been used extensively in many different disciplines, such as management and marketing, production management, and supply chain. This view, which focuses on the effects of the resources that businesses have and their ability to use these resources on business performance and gaining competitive advantage, focuses on the characteristics of the resources and capabilities that companies should have to achieve permanent superior company performance and thus to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. This study includes a comprehensive analysis of the resource-based view used to explain firm performance in the marketing literature. For this, first of all, the scope and development of the resource-based view are presented in detail, and then its use in the field of marketing is examined. In the study, the importance of marketing efforts within the scope of resource-based view in achieving a sustainable competitive advantage is discussed. Marketing performance outputs indicate all business activities due to their sphere of influence. For this reason, evaluating the contribution of marketing activities to business performance is one of the important agendas of businesses. In this context, studies evaluating marketing activities within the framework of the resource-based view in the literature were examined, and the contribution of the resource-based view to the marketing literature was reviewed. As a result of the research, it has been seen that the resource-based view is used extensively as a theoretical framework for the effect of marketing activities on the performance of enterprises. In some studies in the field of marketing, the resource-based view is used in association with other theories.
A Wmatrix-based Analysis of Proximization Strategy of Environmental Discourse: A Case of Silent Spring
Authors: Liu Juanjuan
Published: July 2023

Proximization Theory has been a hotted theory utilized in the field of critical discourse analysis. Silent Spring is a pioneer work describing how chemicals cause harm to the environment. This paper, under the guidance of Proximization Theory and semantic domains provided by the corpus tool Wmatrix, attempts to analyze the proximization strategies used in Silent Spring about the effects of chemicals on the environment. Based on three aspects of Proximization Theory: space, time and axiology, the paper investigates the frequencies and instances of proximization strategies used in Silent Spring. Besides, the paper also summarizes the specialized characteristics of proximization strategies in Silent Spring, which may lay a foundation for further research on environmental discourse: 1) Silent Spring frequently uses spatial proximzation strategies to emphasize the actual harms of chemicals to the environment. 2) In terms of temporal strategies, Silent Spring prefers the perfect tense to highlight the longitude of harm of chemicals. 3)In terms of axiological strategies, Silent Spring shows the conflict of ideologies between the two opposite parts in the discourse through the author’s evaluations of the harms of chemicals.

Published: July 2023

In oil palm, Ganoderma boninense causes stem rot disease, which is often difficult to control, and soil fertility status is related to the ecology of G. boninense as a soil-borne pathogen. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the relationship between soil fertility and stem rot disease as well as appropriate management methods to control the disease. This was carried out at the Nusantara Plantation Company's 7, Unit Kiwah Rejosari-Pematang from June 2021 to January 2022. The determination of observation blocks was carried out selectively using three blocks of land attacked by Ganoderma boninense with the same criteria for the year of planting and the same soil type. Each block consists of five plots. Each plot consisted of five sub-plots, consisting of 3 oil palms for disease severity assessment and soil sampling. The soil for each subplot was composed of 15 samples, which were analyzed for physical and chemical properties of the soil. Determination of fertility status based on the soil research manual published by the Indonesian Bogor Soil Research Center with parameters from the analysis results. The limiting factor for fertility is the cation exchange capacity of the soil, which ranges from 10.07 meq/100 g to 17.68 meq/100  g, and the C-organic content, which ranges from 0.40 to 1.15%. According to chi-square analysis, this fertility-limiting factor is related to disease severity. Therefore, management needs to be done by adding organic matter to the soil, practicing organic or inorganic fertilization, and following the principles of cultivating healthy oil palm plants.

Space between plant (Gawangan) of immature rubber plant is one of the potential locations for the development of soybean plants. This study aims to obtain recommendations for adaptive soybean cultivation technology packages for immature rubber plantations. The research was conducted in August-November 2018 on a three-year-old rubber plantation in Gardu Village, Armajaya District, North Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province. The study was conducted using a randomized block design of 4 treatments which was repeated 5 times. The data collected included the components of growth and yield of soybeans as well as input and production costs for each technology package. The growth component and yield component data were analyzed using analysis of variance and if there was a difference, then Duncan Multiple Range (DMRT) was done. The feasibility of farming is calculated from the value of the cost of revenue (R/C ratio). The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect on the number of branches, empty pods, weight of filled pods, filled seeds, seed weight per plant. However, the treatment had no significant effect on plant height, filled pods, number of pods per plant, empty or damaged seeds, number of seeds per stem, percentage of empty or damaged seeds, 1000 grain weight of seeds. All technology packages are economically feasible to develop because they have an R/C ratio > 1.
The Nexus of Risk-Preferences and Poverty in Indonesia
Authors: Rahayu Siti Aisyah Tri , Mulyanto Mulyanto , Johadi Johadi , Purnama Muhammad Yusuf Indra
Published: July 2023

This research aims to identify the relationship between poverty and risk preference in Indonesia empirically. This research employs the Indonesia Family Life Survey 2014 (IFLS5) using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and quantile regression approach, one of the most extended longitudinal data, to support this research design. The result reveals that poor households are more risk-averse than others across income levels. Moreover, poor people are poorly educated and mostly come from rural and disaster-prone areas. This evidence suggests that poor people from rural communities and disaster-prone regions should be prioritized and empowered to move from poverty zones due to their relatively high vulnerability.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CATEGORIES OF "ENTERPRISE INNOVATIVE POTENTIAL"
Authors: Lokhman N. V.
Published: July 2023

Objective. The objective of the article is to carry out a comparative analysis of the category of «innovative potential of the enterprise» and systematize approaches to its understanding.

Methods. In the process of research, techniques of abstraction (to identify approaches to un­derstanding and signs of innovation potential of the enterprise), system analysis and synthesis (to form their own vision of the innovative potential of the enterprise) are used.

Results. Monitoring of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the innovative potential of the enterprise reveals a sufficiently wide variety of views on this category, which is reflected in the presence of approaches: systemic, structural, interface, resource, resource-efficient, process, management, market-based, comprehensive, integrated.

The structural approach to determining the innovation potential of an enterprise focuses on indi­vidual components of the potential. The resource-efficient approach to characterizing the innovation potential of the enterprise is to use the available resources at the enterprise to ensure the result in the form of an innovative effect in market conditions. From the point of view of management approach, under the innovative potential of the enterprise it is necessary to understand the generalized charac­teristics of the capabilities of the management system to the implementation of innovative potential. A comprehensive approach involves defining the concept of innovation potential of the enterprise as a complex category, which characterizes the frequency and effectiveness of innovation implementation at the enterprise, their development, and the readiness of staff to change.

According to the author, the innovative potential of the enterprise is a complex system con­sisting of a set of resources (financial, personnel, logistical, information), innovative capabilities (client, market, reputational), the degree of readiness for innovative transformations (project, in­tellectual, organizational and willingness to interact).

Published: July 2023

Objective. The objective of the research is analysis and optimization ofprofitability of domes­tic tourism enterprises on the basis of process management.

Methods. The research is based on a comprehensive analysis of the profitability indicators of tourism enterprises in Ukraine. General scientific methods are applied: analysis, synthesis, induc­tion, deduction, graphical method, grouping, comparison, relative value method, structural analy­sis (for estimation of profitability of the subjects of tourist activity) and abstract-logical method (for formulation of offers and conclusions).

Results. Features and types of business processes of tourism enterprises are considered. The dynamics and structure of operating income of the entities of tourist activity-legal entities for 2011-2018 are estimated. The indicators of the dynamics ofprofitability of realization of the sub­jects of tourist activity are considered, the average indicators ofprofitability per one tourist activ­ity are considered. The main factors and tendencies of change of profitability by the subjects of tourist activity in Ukraine are distinguished. According to the revealed tendencies of change of operating profit of tourist enterprises insufficient efficiency of their business processes and difficult adaptation to sharp changes of external environment are established.

It is revealed that the most effective management of business processes is organized by tour­ist operators, which is confirmed by the highest performance indicators. For travel agents, the efficiency of business processes is low, and the main reasons for the decline in profitability are the increase in the cost of travel services. For the subjects engaged in excursion activity, the per­formance of business process management was not stable, but at the end of the analyzed period significantly improved due to the increase in revenues from the provision of travel services. For the subjects engaged in excursion activity, the performance of business process management was not stable, but at the end of the analyzed period significantly improved due to the increase in revenues from the provision of travel services.

A research work was undertaken to evaluate the feeding effect of concentrate supplementation on growth and reproductive performance of growing lamb upto first lambing. The trial was conducted at Char-elahi union, Chompanygonj, Noakhali. Thirty female sheep of about average 11.3 (±2.3) kg live weight and about 6-8 months of age were used and randomly allocated into three experimental diets, T0 (grazing), T1 (grazing + 1% concentrate supplement of live weight) and T2 (grazing + 2% concentrate supplement of live weight). The study revealed that the average daily DM intake was 261.00, 405.35 and 405.35g for diets T0, T1 and T2, respectively which was significantly (P≤0.01) different. DM intake when expressed as metabolic body weight also showed significant (P≤0.01) differences.DM intake as per cent of live weight were 1.96, 2.81 and 3.69 for diets T0, T1 and T2, respectively, which differ significantly (P≤0.05) among the treatment group. Daily grass DM intake was 261.00, 260.49 and 260.38g for diets T0, T1 and T2, respectively and this difference was not significant (P≥0.01) among the treatment group. Daily average live weight gain was 20.00, 35.50 and 44.00g for diets T0, T1 and T2, respectively. Live weight gain on diet T2 was significantly (P≤0.01) higher than that of diet T1 and T0. The results suggested that concentrate supplementation had higher growth response possibly due to better nutrient contents and their utilization. There were no significant (P≥0.01) effect on reproductive performances of service per conception, gestation length (d) and litter size (no.) of three dietary treatments. The Percentage of born alive T2 (100%) and T1 (90%) were higher in supplemented group compared to non supplemented T0 (70%) group. Birth weight of lambs of T2 (male-1.41kg, female, 1.06 kg) and T1 (male-1.21 kg, female-0.90 kg) group were significantly (P≤0.05) higher compared to that on only grazing group T0 (male-0.72 kg, female-0.56kg). The concentrate supplementation (2%) may be suggested for optimizing growth and reproductive performance of female sheep under grazing condition in coastal area.

The present study was undertaken to detect and quantify the left over residue of Fenvalerate and Acephate in bean and tomato and comparison between the detected residue levels with Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) set by FAO/WHO. Two supervised field trials (one for Fenvalerate and another for Acephate) were carried out sprayed with the field dose of Fenvalerate (1.0ml/L of water) and Acephate (1.0gm/L of water). Samples were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 days after spray. The left over residue of Fenvalerate was detected up to 14 DAS, of which up to 3 DAS the quantities of residue were above MRL (1 ppm) in both the vegetables (bean, tomato). This insecticide remained 0.601-0.035 ppm residue in bean and 0.443-0.014 ppm in tomato which were below MRL at 4 to 14 DAS. The high amount of Acephate was detected for a longer period than Fenvalerate and it was found up to 14 DAS in which MRL values (0.5 ppm) were found above up to 9 DAS with 0.623 ppm in tomato and 0.928 ppm in bean. Samples of 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 DAS of Acephate contained residues 0.289-0.032 ppm in bean and 0.465-0.029 ppm in tomato which were below MRL. At 15 DAS, no residue was detected. Therefore, bean and tomato can be harvested safely at 4 days after spray for Fenvalerate and 10 days after spray for Acephate.

Introduction: The occurrence of consanguineous marriages has been common in the Arab populations due to socio-cultural factors. Genetic diseases are rare in the overall population, but their frequency unusually increases as the prevalence of consanguineous marriages increases. The aim of our pilot study was to investigate the extent of consanguinity and its effects on non-communicable genetic diseases, in Emirati population.
Methodology: This research was based on a socio-economic survey (SES) conducted by a group of students of Dubai Pharmacy College for Girls in the year 2018. Subjects for this preliminary study were selected by using convenience sampling method from urban regions of United Arab Emirates local households. A questionnaire was designed for this purpose and data was collected during household visits.
Results: Our study showed that the incidence of consanguinity is relatively high with a rate of about 65% approximately and 33% of all these consanguineous marriages are of the first cousin and closer marriage type. Our results states that consanguineous marriages have a negative effect on reproductive health factors and in turn posing a risk for occurrence of noncommunicable genetic diseases, congenital malformations, and various chronic and complex multifactorial diseases in Emirati Arab population.
Discussion: Genetic counselling and premarital counselling must be accentuated to reduce the risk of genetic syndromes in the population.

Background: Inherited Haemoglobin (Hb) disorders are the most frequent genetic hereditary disorders with an increasing global health burden, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This disorder is mostly caused by a point mutation on a globin gene resulting mostly in single amino acid substitutions and consequently defective globin chain production or reduced production of normal haemoglobin. Despite the limited study of this country regarding this issue, the number of individuals suffering from inherited Hb disorders is not negligible. Thus, the study was designed to evaluate the types of inherited haemoglobin disorders among the patients attending the haematology outdoor of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
Methods: This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Haematology in DMCH, for a period of 6 months (June 2022 to November 2022. People attending the Haematology outpatient department and diagnosed with a case of inherited Hb disorder were approached for inclusion. Written informed consent was taken from each subject. Ethical issues were ensured properly. For the study, a total of 100 patients were interviewed for less than 30 minutes of duration in each case. Relevant investigations such as, Hemoglobin (Hb), Red Cell Count (RCC), MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Reticulocyte, Serum ferritin were done in the Haematology lab of DMCH, and data were collected in a semi-structured questionnaire. Collected Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.
Results: Out of 100 inherited Hb disorder subjects, the majority (60 or 60%) were from the age group of 14 to 24 years. The mean age of patients was 38.78 ± 6.09 with range 15-51 years. The male-female ratio was 1:1. The majority (58%) came from rural areas and 42% came from urban areas. Mean value of Hb was 10.54; subsequently, MCV (63.25), MCH (22.18), S ferritin (140.43). The majority of patients had their onset of clinical presentation of illness for 5 years. Among total subjects, two-thirds of the patients (66 or 66%) had Hb E Disease followed by 14% Beta thalassaemia trait, 14% Hb E trait, and 6% b thalassaemia major. No association was noted between the type of thalassaemia with age & sex of the subjects.
Conclusion: Irrespective of age and sex variations, Hb E disease is the most frequent inherited haemoglobin disorder among the patient attending the haematology outdoor of a tertiary care hospital.

Background: Radiologically detected lung lesions are very common in regular clinical practice. It is very important to diagnose radiologically detected lung lesions early. Flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy is an excellent minimally invasive and safe investigation for early diagnosis of lung diseases.
Methods: Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire from the patients who had lesion on chest x-ray that were not in the peripheral part and advised for bronchoscopy. Patients were followed up after getting their histopathology. Statistical analysis using SPSS16.0 was carried out thereafter.
Results: Mean age of the respondents was 56.8 years with age ranging from 25 to 85 years. 82% of the patients were male. Male-female ratio was 4.5:1. Endobronchial growth was found in maximum 46% patients during bronchoscopy, followed by 22% showing inflammatory lesion. In 20% of the patients, bronchoscopy findings showed normal findings and 12% patients showed inconclusive results. In subsequent biopsy and histopathology, maximum 55.88% showed non-neoplastic lesion. Among the non-neoplastic lesions 26.47% showed non-specific inflammation.20.58% showed tuberculosis, 5.88% showed sarcoidosis and 2.94% showed aspergilloma. 35.29% cases showed neoplastic lesion, 2.94% showed inconclusive results, 2.94% showed normal results and 2.94% showed inadequate sample. 58.33% cases were squamous cell carcinoma, 25% cases were adenocarcinoma, 8.33% showed small cell carcinoma and 8.33% showed mixed cell type of carcinoma.
Conclusion: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy can be successfully employed for the diagnosis of lung diseases, including malignancies and granulomatous lesions.It is extremely useful in finding specific etiologies of various lung diseases.
