Authors: Sarwadi Sarwadi
Published: June 2024

The contents in the Islamic education curriculum are knowledge, experiences, and activities that are methodically imparted to pupils in order to help them reach their objectives. In addition, the curriculum is an activity that consists of detailed student activity plans in the form of instructional materials, ideas for teaching and learning tactics, program arrangements that allow them to be put into practice, and items that cover a range of activities up until the intended goals are met. The Al-Qur'an and the Hadith, which are the cornerstones of Islam, cannot be divorced from the Islamic Education Curriculum; so, its primary distinguishing feature is that it uses them as its primary sources. The curriculum for Islamic education must prioritize both subjects and religion.
The philosophy of thomas kuhn: paradigms and scientific revolutions in islamic scholarship
Authors: Muhamad Fadli  , Diana Monita  , Muhammad Chafidz Ali Wafa
Published: June 2024

One of the figures who strongly criticized positivism was Thomas Kuhn. Kuhn criticizes the opinion of positivism which says that science develops cumulatively and evolutionarily. This is then refuted by Kuhn by presenting the concept of scientific paradigm and revolution. The author tries to see the concept of paradigm and scientific revolution in the body of Islamic scholarship. The author uses the library research method in conducting this research. While in collecting data related to the topic discussed by the author using documentation techniques. The results of this study state that the development of science is continuous or can be called continuously evolving. In the course of its evolution, science will experience an old paradigm or a normal phase of science, then enter a period of anomaly and crisis. The end of this cycle is the formation of a new normal science or the birth of a new paradigm. If Thomas Kuhn's thoughts are brought into the context of Islamic scholarship, then at this time it is at the anomaly stage, namely the many differences that occur in understanding a problem. But not until entering the crisis stage which requires finding a new paradigm, this is because each opinion has different arguments and understanding.

The competences to conduct the profile of student pancasila in islamic junior secondary school
Authors: Musdalifa  , Aminullah  , Fatimah
Published: June 2024

This research aims to explore the competences required for teachers to conduct the profile of Student Pancasila in Islamic Junior Secondary Schools and to understand how these competences influence the implementation and internalization of Pancasila values among students. With Pancasila being the guiding philosophy of Indonesia, encapsulating values of belief in the One and Only God, just and civilized humanity, Indonesian unity, representative democracy, and social justice, it is imperative to examine the role of teacher competences in fostering these principles. The study adopts a descriptive approach to investigate the relationship between teacher competence—including pedagogic, professional, personality, and social competences—and students' understanding of Pancasila. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, with analysis following Miles and Huberman's interactive model. Findings suggest that pedagogic competence, particularly effective communication and evaluation skills, is crucial for nurturing Pancasila values. Professional competence, including subject matter mastery and the integration of technology, enhances the relevance of teaching Pancasila. Personality competence, with an emphasis on role modeling, and social competence, focusing on inclusive and empathetic communication, are found to be influential in the values internalization process. The study concludes that a holistic approach to teacher competence is vital for the successful impartation of Pancasila values, which is fundamental for building students' character in alignment with the Indonesian state ideology. Recommendations are made for curriculum development and teacher training programs to support this endeavor.

Assessment of water quality of Ajali, Karawa and Nnam rivers in Enugu State, Nigeria, was determined over a 10 year-span, in order to ascertain the level of deterioration of the water over time. Water samples were collected in 2013 and 2023 from the aforementioned rivers. For these 2years, the samples were collected in April and July to represent early rainy season and peak rainy season respectively. The physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total hardness, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, calcium, magnesium, sulphate, nitrate and chloride were determined using standard methods. The water quality indicator ranges were found to be as follows: pH: 4.10–9.23, electrical conductivity (μs/cm): 6.88-53.30, total hardness (mg/L): 4.00-220.00, total suspended solids (mg/L): 0.002-91.00, total dissolved solids (mg/L): 0.08-9.52, alkalinity (mg/L): 10.00-31.50, dissolved oxygen (mg/L): 0.25-36.80, biochemical oxygen demand (mg/L): 0.05-73.60, calcium(mg/L): 0.31-9.40, magnesium (mg/L): 0.003-0.68, sulphate (mg/L): 119.35-425.65, nitrate (mg/L): 0.07-36.80, chloride (mg/L): 3.60-30.00. The WQI values of the three rivers were as follows: 72.93, 78.93 and 66.17 in April 2013; 47.34,85.79 and 75.81 in July 2013, while 425.3, 194.1 and 242.0 in April 2023; 70.68, 50.61 and 62.95 in July 2023  for Ajali, Karawa and Nnam rivers respectively.

Dijital ortamda da kolay ulaşılır olması bu yapımları tercih edilir kılmaktadır. Çizgi film ve animasyonlar sadece hedef dili öğrenenlerde dört temel becerinin gelişmesine katkı sağlamaz aynı zamanda onların hoşça vakit geçirmelerine de olanak sağlar. Eğitici, heyecan verici ve yeniden kullanılabilir oluşlarıyla, ifade edilmekte zorlanılan kavramları basit ve kolay bir şekilde aktarmayı mümkün kılar. Çizgi film ve animasyonlardaki kahramanların ve karakterlerin öyküdeki başarıları yabancı dil sınıfındaki öğrencileri sadece derse motive etmekle kalmaz aynı zamanda onlara rol model olarak da yol gösterebilir. Hikâyede çocuğun kahramanlarla özdeşleşmesi, görselleri yorumlaması, anlatıya dahil olması onun hayal gücünün gelişmesine önemli katkılar sağlar. Çocuklar sevdikleri yapımları tekrar seyretmekten usanmazlar. Bu tekrarlar sayesinde çocuklar öyküde yer alan dilsel yapıların pekiştirilmesinde ve yeni dil unsurlarının öğrenilmesinde büyük avantajlar elde ederler. Görüntülerin ifade gücü, anlatı dilin kolay oluşu sayesinde yabancı dil öğreniminde çizgi film ve animasyonlar faydalı birer materyal olarak öğretmenler ve öğrenciler tarafından rahatlıkla kullanılabilir.

Eylea HD should only be reimbursed for adults who have not previously been treated with an anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug for their nAMD, have a baseline best-corrected visual acuity score between 78 to 24 letters based on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scoring system, more than 50% of the newly formed abnormal blood vessels originate from the choroid layer of the eye, and imaging shows there is fluid buildup affecting the centre of the eye.
Eylea HD should only be reimbursed if it is prescribed by an ophthalmologist with experience managing nAMD, it is not used in combination with other anti-VEGF drugs, and the cost of Eylea HD is not more than the least costly anti-VEGF drug covered by the public drug plans for the treatment of nAMD. Eylea HD should only be authorized for reimbursement for 12 months the first time it is used. Eylea HD should not continue to be reimbursed if injections need to be given more frequently than every 12 weeks or if the patient’s vision worsens by at least 5 letters due to their nAMD persisting or worsening and their central retina thickens by greater than 25 μm, new abnormal blood vessels form, or there is bleeding in the part of the eye responsible for central vision.

Background: Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) is a flowering plant gaining interest for its potential health benefits due to its high content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties. These properties have been linked to various health improvements, including reduced risk of chronic diseases. Aims: The aim was to assess the sensory, microbiological, physical, and antioxidant properties of corn and wheat tortillas formulated with varying HDC concentrations. Material and Methods: Five formulations were prepared, incorporating HDC (5%, 20%, 50%, and 70%) into the corn and wheat flour blends. The formulation with the most favorable sensory profile was further evaluated for: microbiological analysis, tortilla quality properties (diameter, weight, yield, puffing degree, rollability, and moisture content), total soluble phenolic content (TSPCC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant capacity (DPPH• and ABTS+• methods). Results: Sensory evaluation revealed that the corn and wheat tortillas with 20% HDC achieved the highest overall acceptability in terms of mouthfeel, color, and flavor attributes. The addition of HDC significantly reduced microbial growth compared to the control tortillas. All formulations displayed significant variations in quality properties. Tortillas containing HDC demonstrated significantly higher levels of TSPCC, TFC, and antioxidant capacity. Conclusion: The incorporation of 20% HDC flour presents a promising approach to developing functional tortillas with enhanced health benefits. These tortillas exhibit desirable sensory characteristics, improved microbiological safety, and increased antioxidant potential, potentially impacting the food industry and consumer health.

Kentsel açık ve yeşil alanlar (AYA) ile açık mavi alanlar (AMA) kent sakinlerine çeşitli ekonomik, kültürel, sosyal ve psikolojik faydalar sağlamaktadır. Bunların hepsine birden ekosistem hizmetleri adı verilir. Bir kentin kalitesinin, sürdürülebilirliğinin ve dayanıklılığının ölçütlerinden birisi, ekosistem hizmetlerinin kent planlamasına ve yönetimine ne kadar başarılı bir şekilde entegre edildiğidir. Kentleşmenin beraberinde getirdiği doğadan uzaklaşmaya alternatif olarak bu mekânlar kent sakinlerinin doğal ortamla yeniden bağ kurmalarına olanak sağlar. Doğa ile yeniden bağ kurmanın yollarından birisi de kentsel toplayıcılıktır. Kentsel toplayıcılık kent içerisindeki AYA ve AMA’lardan çeşitli amaçlarla bitki toplamayı ifade eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı Balıkesir merkez Altıeylül ilçesindeki kentsel toplayıcılık faaliyetlerini politik ekoloji bakış açısı ile incelemektir. Politik ekoloji, kentsel sürdürülebilirliğe ilişkin plan ve eylemlerin siyasi, sosyal, kültürel, tarihi ve ekonomik gelişmeler ışığında değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini öne süren teorik bir paradigmadır. Bu çalışmada kentsel toplayıcıların Geleneksel Ekolojik Bilgileri (GEB) ile kentteki toplayıcılığın sosyal, kültürel, ekonomik ve ekolojik boyutu ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada toplayıcı pratikleri uzun zaman boyunca gözlenmiş ve 20 toplayıcı ile 1 yıl boyunca çeşitli zamanlarda yüz yüze görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Toplayıcıların neleri topladıkları, bunları nereden ve ne amaçla topladıklarına dair veriler elde edilmiştir. Bu veriler hem nicel hem de nitel analiz teknikleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, ilk bakışta çok fark edilmese de toplayıcılığın kent peyzajında çok yaygın olduğunu ve bu amaçla 119 tür bitkinin toplandığını göstermektedir. Toplayıcıların ana motivasyonunun yiyecek elde etme, ilaç yapımı ve yan gelir elde etmek olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Toplayıcılık daha çok kamusal alanlarda, kaldırımlarda, parklarda ve apartman bahçelerinde çoğunlukla kadınlar tarafından ve sosyo-ekonomik olarak alt-orta grup mensupları tarafından yapılmaktadır. Toplayıcılık, kentleşme hızının artmasına bağlı olarak azalmaktadır. Kent plancıları ve yöneticilerin toplayıcılığın ekonomik ve sosyo-kültürel boyutları hakkındaki farkındalıkları düşüktür. Kentin sürdürülebilirliği ve direncini artırmak için AYA ve AMA’ların oranı arttırılmalı ve kent sakinlerine buralara eşit erişim hakkı tanınmalıdır. Kent plancıları ve yöneticileri toplayıcılığı resmi olarak kabul edip, teşvik etmeli ve toplayıcılıktan kaynaklanan riskleri bertaraf etmelidir.

Agricultural information is a key component in improving small-holder agricultural production and linking increased production. Improvements in agricultural productivity are realized when farmers are linked to agricultural information. The objective of this study was to establish the available mobile phone-enabled services relevant for accessing agricultural information by smallholder farmers in Bungoma County, Kenya. The study adopted a cross-sectional and correlational research design. The sample size comprised 400 respondents that were sampled using simple random sampling, and data was collected using questionnaires. Study findings revealed that 98.1% of the smallholder farmers owned phones, while only 1.9% did not own phones. Interestingly, 60% of the smallholder farmers did not use the internet on their phones to access agricultural information. 70.3% of the smallholder farmers got better connected to markets, and 66.5% indicated that by using mobile phone-enabled services, they accessed market information. 52.4% of the smallholder farmers stated the cost of using a mobile phone as the main factor considered in their choice of mobile phone network. Tests of hypotheses showed that a unit increase in mobile phone-enabled services causes an increase of 0.457 in accessing agricultural information; therefore, mobile phone-enabled services had a statistically significant influence on accessing agricultural information. The study underscores the necessity for enhanced training in advanced mobile phone operating skills among farmers through capacity building programs. Collaboration between the Kenyan government and county administrations is essential to bolster rural infrastructure supporting mobile phone services. To address financial constraints faced by smallholder farmers in accessing mobile data and subscriptions, county governments should allocate resources to establish information centers at sub-location agricultural extension offices. These centers would offer free Wi-Fi, enabling farmers to access agricultural information using their mobile phones. They are envisioned as pivotal hubs linking farmers, extension officers, agricultural information platforms, network providers, and other stakeholders within the county.

Health equity is defined as the absence of systematic disparities in health and healthcare based on social advantage or disadvantage; it is a critical goal in global health. Community Health Workers/Volunteers (CHW/Vs) play a pivotal role in promoting health equity by delivering essential primary health services to underserved populations. This article focuses on the role of CHVs in promoting health equity in Kisumu County, Kenya, and explores the opportunities and challenges encountered in accelerating primary health care delivery. The study is informed by the health equity theory, which emphasizes fair and just access to health services for all populations. We utilized a qualitative research inquiry and applied an interpretive approach to understanding the role of CHVs in delivering community health services to community households as primary beneficiaries. Eighty-seven respondents were identified through purposive sampling, and data was collected through four focused group discussions (FGD) of 10 CHVs and 10 household representatives. Additionally, key informant interviews (KII) were conducted for 2 Community Unit (CU) members, 2 Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs), and 3 community health officials drawn from the national, county, and sub-county levels, respectively. Both primary and secondary data was collected from purposively sampled households, community health workers and volunteers, and key persons engaged in running and/or providing community health care in the 7 sub-counties of Kisumu County. The data analysis was conducted using thematic inquiry to identify emerging patterns, and this was managed using NVivo software for coding and interpretation. The study's findings demonstrate that CHVs in Kisumu County impact service utilization and improve maternal health outcomes. They serve as early detectors of health issues, provide culturally appropriate care, and empower communities to actively participate in their health management. However, challenges such as shortages of CHW/Vs, limited resources, and gender norms hinder their effectiveness in delivering services. Opportunities for CHW/Vs in promoting health equity include increased access to healthcare, culturally appropriate care, prevention and health promotion, community empowerment, timely identification of health issues, strengthening the health system, flexibility, adaptability, community support networks, potential for research and innovation, and integration of services. CHVs in Kisumu County have significant opportunities to promote health equity by providing essential health services to underserved communities. Addressing challenges and improving the CHS model can unlock their full potential, contributing to the achievement of health equity for all residents in Kisumu County.
