Authors: Kamal Sodiq , Munahar Suroto , Abbas Aries , Ito Yoshifumi , Wahyudi Agus
Published: August 2021

Appropriate diabetes mellitus (DM) wound care requires safe and comfortable space and facilities for patients and nurses. However, the existing hospital bed for DM has not supported the safety and comfort for nurses to serve patients, including the problem of liquid waste and some DM wounds emit a foul smell. Therefore, a hospital bed for DM wound care was designed in this research to support professional, efficient, ergonomic, and safe nursing practice. Multidisciplinary collaboration by engineers, wound nursing practitioners, and industry is carried out in this project. The level of risk of work disturbances was evaluated using a rapid entire body assessment (REBA), the level of risk of contamination was evaluated by a qualitative exposure assessment, and the level of comfort was measured using the visual analog method. Trials on 30 respondents consisting of 28 nurses and 2 doctors indicated that they were comfortable working with the new design of this prototype with lower risk.

Today, in the industry 4.0 era, the boundaries of scientific disciplines are blurred, everything seems to be interrelated and shows the ability to be combined. Intelligent sensors combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) have demonstrated their ability to influence processes, design, and maintenance in manufacturing systems. Mechanical engineering tasked with solving complex engineering problems must be able to adapt to this transformation, especially in the use of digital and IT to combine the principles of physics and engineering mathematics with materials science to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. On the other hand, mechanical engineering must also contribute to a better future life. Therefore, one of the keys to consistently playing a role is to think about sustainability, in order to provide benefits for society and industry, in any industrial era.

Authors: Kolakoti Aditya , Setiyo Muji , Waluyo Budi
Published: August 2021

In this study, waste and discarded cooking oils (WCO) of palm, sunflower, rice bran and groundnut oils are collected from local restaurants. The high viscous WCO was converted into waste cooking oil biodiesel (WCOBD) by a single-stage transesterification process. During the transesterification process, the important parameters which show a significant change in biodiesel yield are studied using the optimization tool of response surface methodology (RSM). Results reported that 91.30% biodiesel yield was achieved within L18 experiments and NaOH catalyst was identified as the most influential parameter on WCOBD yield. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based modeling was also carried out to predict biodiesel yield. From AI modeling, a predicted yield of 92.88% was achieved, which is 1.70% higher than the RSM method. These results reveal the prediction capabilities and accuracy of the chosen modeling and optimization methods. In addition, the significant fuel properties are measured and observed within the scope of ASTM standards (ASTMD6751) and fatty acid profiles from chromatography reveal the presence of high unsaturated fatty acids in WCOBD. Therefore, utilizing the waste cooking oils for biodiesel production can mitigate the global challenges of environmental and energy paucity.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LITERACY OF QUR’ᾹNIC INTERPRETATIONS IN SUDAN: CRITICAL STUDY OF THE AL-TAFSĪR AL-TAUḤĪDĪ
Authors: Hasan Moh Abdul Kholiq
Published: August 2021

This article aims to critically explain the method of al-Tafsīr al-Tauḥīdī by Ḥasan al-Turābī and its position amongst other thematic commentary theories. This study is a descriptive qualitative study by employing content analysis theory. The results indicate the trend of al-Tafsīr al-Tauḥīdī in two meanings. The first is as a commentary paradigm which leans on the unity of man and the universe in the message of the God’s revelation. The second is as the form of thematic commentary of al-Waḥdah al-Mauḍū‘iyyah model. Therefore, this commentary is more appropriately categorized into al-Tafsīr al-Muṣhafī bi al-Waḥdah al-Mauḍū’iyyah. It has three systematic explanation in each surah including Khulāṣah Hady al-Sūrah, Tartīl al-Ma’āni, and Umūm al-ma’āni. Al-Turābī's ability to unite various related elements in his commentary is not only between verses or surahs but also between human life and all its activities with the universe in a bond of al-Qur'an guidance which is core to monotheism. This is the advantage it has and is a new method in commentary literacy in Sudan. In fact, the method of al-Tafsīr al-Tauḥīdī generally becomes a framework for the whole civilization project of al-Turābī. However, there are some critics towards his commentary regarding rationality and rejection of several authentic hadiths which seem to leave riwāyah in the commentary of the Qur’an.

This article aims to examine the thoughts of Muḥammad Sa'īd Ramāḍan al-Būṭi in his book Tafsir Al-Mar'āh Bayn al-Ṭugyān al-Niḍām. The focus of this study is emphasized on how al-Būṭi interprets the verses about the division of inheritance between men and women which have been the subject of debate among experts. By using qualitative methods and content analysis, it can be concluded that in resolving the distribution of inheritance between sons and daughters, al-Būṭi offers the concept of al-tasāwī (equality) in the distribution of inheritance between men and women, so that there is no marginalization and subordination. addressed to one party, in this case women. With this concept, it is expected that men and women can inherit a balanced inheritance. According to him, the superiority or superiority of men (ar-rijàl) over women (an-nisa') is not based on natural advantages or factors of creation, but is based on the quality of management, wisdom and the level of culture and awareness that differs among humans. According to him, Islamic inheritance law is not measured by the level of equality between heirs, but is determined based on the size of the burden or responsibility that is developed for them, in terms of the general condition of their lives.

THE CONCEPT OF WIND AND DUST IN THE QUR’ĀN; A Study of Surah Ibrahim (14):18
Authors: Nur Afrizal , Syafieh Syafieh , Kholiska Raden Kurnia
Published: August 2021

The article explains of one verses from the verse of amtal, namely Ibrahim verse 18 which discusses the interpretation of the tafsir scholars who explain the action committed by infidels and the ashes that are dust by strong winds when the wind blowns. The related example is the dust which blown by the wind because the dust turns out to be nothing and you will not be able to do anything if you are faced with strong winds in the high wind season, surely the dust will fly everywhere chaotically and will not be able to return to original place. Besides that, the dust that is contained in the Qur’ān is flying dust, where the flying dust has a negative impact and unbenefit to human health and the environment. This fact provides a very broad discourse enrichment, that the wind can occur if one day there is air pressure in the horizontal direction, there will be a movement of air mass transfer from a place with high air pressure to a place with low air pressure. Dust particles are known as small numbers of particles that are lifted up by the force of wind stress. The value of the wind stress force in this event is expressed by the fluid or threshold. This threshold depends not only on the properties of the fluid, but also on the gravity and cohesive forces between the particles which oppose the lift force of the fluid

Objectives: A common concern in some cochlear-implanted children is the lack of desired progress in auditory and listening skills. Such a concern remains despite proper verbal processor programming, additional disabilities, and continuous participation in hearing rehabilitation programs. A more detailed assessment of pathways and centers of the auditory processing at the lower end of the brain stem by measuring the time of the Electrical Stapedius Reflex (ESR), and investigating its relation to auditory perception skills can provide significant information about choosing the appropriate rehabilitation method. Methods: In total, 20 unilateral cochlear-implanted children (3-7-year-olds) participated in this research. All of them were implanted for ≥2 years and participated for ≥1 year in the auditory-verbal rehabilitation program. The ESR reaction time was measured for 3 electrodes in the apex, middle, and basal areas. The Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP-II) test score was used to assess the progress of auditory skills. Then the correlation between CAP-II test score and ESR reaction time was investigated per each electrode. Results: There was a significant inverse correlation between the ESR reaction time and the CAP II test scores in the apex electrodes (r=-0.5, P<0.05). However, no such correlation was observed in the middle (r=0.34, P>0.05) and basal (r=-0.06, P>0.05) electrodes. Discussion: There was a significant correlation between the shorter reaction time of ESR in the apex electrode and the higher scores in the CAP-II test for auditory skills in children. Therefore, examining the ESR reaction time can be useful for prediction of the benefits of cochlear implantation as well as choosing a better rehabilitation approach for cochlear-implanted children.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between mindfulness, anxiety, and procrastination in high school students. Methods: The study sample consisted of 350 high school female students in Rasht City, Iran. The study subjects responded to the Academic Procrastination Scale (APS), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), the Cattell Anxiety Scale (CAS), and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). Data analysis was performed by Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling technique in SPSS and AMOS. Bootstrap in Preacher and Hayes’ Macro program (2008) was also used to test the indirect relationships between the study variables. Results: There was a direct and significant relationship between academic procrastination, anxiety, and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (P<0.0001). There was an inverse and significant relationship between procrastination, adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and mindfulness (P<0.0001). Mediation analysis data revealed that the maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies exacerbated the effects of anxiety on academic procrastination; the indirect effect of anxiety on procrastination through adaptive strategies was significant. Conclusion: Procrastination in students could be reduced by minimizing anxiety, correcting maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and strengthening adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Anxiety may aggravate academic procrastination by generating maladaptive mechanisms.

Objective: The negative impacts of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)outbreak on public mental health are enhancing the number of individuals requiring psychotherapy. Besides, anxiety is becoming more frequent than any other mental health issue among individuals. Similar to other anxiety types, coronavirus anxiety is associated with elevated attentional bias. The present study aimed to examine the effects of Attentional Bias Modification (ABM) on attentional bias towards coronavirus-related stimuli, and coronavirus anxiety. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest-follow-up and a control group design. The research participants were 37 adults (aged 18 to 38 y), who were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=18) and control (n=19) groups. The experimental group received ABM, while no intervention was delivered to the controls. Attentional bias and coronavirus disease anxiety were assessed at pretest, posttest, and 2 months follow-up stages using the Dot-Probe Task (DPT) and the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS). The collected data were analyzed using two-way repeated-measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Fisher’s least significant difference in SPSS v. 26. Results: After receiving online ABM, the study participant’s coronavirus-related attentional bias decreased, leading to a significant reduction in coronavirus anxiety (P<0.05). These significant changes were evident at the posttest and maintained until the follow-up step. However, no significant changes occurred in the control group (P>0.05). Conclusion: The presented ABM could decrease coronavirus anxiety; thus, its online implementation is a suitable approach to treat individuals with this anxiety while observing social distancing.

El artículo presenta también una reflexión de los autores en torno a las lecciones adquiridas en dichos procesos, y respecto de los organismos responsables de los mismos.

In this paper the evaluation process are reported —by the three agencies authorized in Mexico to issue an opinion on the quality of a program curricular— to which has undergone the first curriculum of Bachelor of Software Engineering offered in Mexico, as part of a management plan for obtaining external recognition of its quality, and therefore, as part of efforts towards consolidation. In addition it reflects on the lessons learned from these processes and views on areas for improvement by such agencies are issued.
Concentration of Bid Prices Just Above the Standard Minimum Price in Public Construction Works
Authors: Yamaki Satoru , Yabuki Nobuyoshi
Published: August 2021

In Japan, contract offices are mandated to set threshold prices for public works. A threshold price is the upper limit of the bid price, and a contractor who exceeds this threshold is disqualified. Furthermore, based on the threshold price, a minimum price is set as a price requiring investigation before acceptance. In recent years, bids and contracts for public works have generally had bid prices concentrated slightly above the standard minimum for investigation. It has been pointed out that this tendency is detrimental in terms of the motivation of engineers and social costs. In this study, we confirm that this tendency was alleviated and that the level of the winning bidder's technical evaluation score was feasible at the same time. In addition, we obtained quantitative findings on variables that affect both above. Furthermore, although it is impossible to achieve a perfect balance between alleviating the tendency of prices to concentrate slightly above the standard minimum for investigation and sufficient technical evaluation scores, elements necessary to improve the overall situation were quantitatively identified.

Authors: Suleiman Salami , Barnabas Mensah
Published: August 2021

The study seeks to ascertain the effect of tax avoidance on the accounting conservatism of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. Tax avoidance was proxied by Generally Accepted Accounting Principle Effective Tax Rate (GETR), Cash Effective Tax Rate (CETR), and Book Tax Difference (BTD), while accounting conservatism was measured using Negative Accruals (NA). The control variables utilised were leverage, Return on Asset (ROA), and Firm Size (FS). The study covered a period of seven years (2014-2020) and a population of forty-eight listed non-financial firms on the Nigerian stock exchange. The data were analysed using the panel regression technique. The findings discovered that GETR and BTD significantly and negatively affect unconditional conservatism. Overall, this paper shows that tax avoidance is a determinant of financial reporting conservatism in Nigeria.

Panel data estimators can strongly be biased and inconsistent in the presence of heteroscedasticity and anomalous observations called influential observations (IOs) in Random effect (RE) panel data model. The existing methods (LWS, WLSF, WLSDRGP) address only the problem of IO but fail to remedy the combine problem of heteroscedasticity and IOs.  Therefore, in this research we develop a method that will remedy the combine problem of heteroscedasticity and IOs based on robust heteroscedasticity consistent covariance matrix (RHCCM) estimator and fast improvised influential distance (FIID) weighting method denoted by WLSFIID. The simulation and numerical evidences show that our proposed estimation method is more efficient than the existing methods by providing smallest bias, and smallest standard error of HC4 and HC5.

Currently, the performance of the pepper Muntok business continues to decline from time to time. This condition needs to be supported by studying the characteristics of farmers as human resources who carry out business planning and decision-making faced with various threats, challenges, and uncertainties. This study aims to 1) determine personal characteristics; 2) analyze the effect of personal characteristics on entrepreneurial behavior, 3) analyze the effect of personal characteristics and entrepreneurial behavior of farmers on business performance; and 4) analyze the effect of entrepreneurial behavior on business performance. The research method uses a survey method involving 90 farmers. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through Smart Partial Least squares (PLS). The results showed that the personal characteristics of the dominant farmer were strongly reflected by indicators of ethnic origin, experience, and age. Personal characteristics positively and significantly contribute to entrepreneurial behavior, and positive entrepreneurial behavior significantly influences business performance. The study results did not directly influence personal characteristics on business performance but through entrepreneurial behavior. Furthermore, the indicator variables of ethnic origin, experience, and age affect discipline, persistence, perseverance, interest in seeking and increasing knowledge, and mastery of technical skills, which can ultimately determine the level of business productivity and the desire to grow through business expansion. Before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the entrepreneurial behavior of farmers was still strongly shaped by cognitive and affective variables. It is necessary to increase the skills of farmers through training and entrepreneurship development that pays attention to personal characteristics to improve business performance. This study can recommend the Agriculture Office of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province in formulating policies to increase the productivity of pepper plants and the welfare of pepper farmers in the future.

This study aims to determine the literacy of the village community about agricultural zakat and what factors are behind the lack of village people in paying agricultural zakat. This research approach uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Collecting data from this research are interviews, documentation, and observations. The sources of data obtained from primary data sources are from the head of Sidodadi Village, one of the hamlet heads, community leaders, and farmers. While the secondary data source is documentation obtained from the field. Zakat is a property that must be issued for Muslims to those who are entitled to receive it, such as the faqir, poor, amil, converts, slaves, gharim, fisabilillah, and ibn sabil. The agricultural zakat is all agricultural produce that is planted using seeds, the results of which can be eaten by humans and animals. Agricultural zakat can be in the form of grains, tubers, vegetables, fruits, flowers, and so on. The results of this study are the lack of public literacy about agricultural zakat, besides that there has been no socialization about agricultural zakat from community leaders and from the government which causes the people of Sidodadi Village to have low agricultural zakat literacy.
