Published: March 2024

Gender inequality is a persistent issue experienced by women worldwide, often intertwined with their limited participation in political spheres. This study examines the political involvement of women in the parliaments of Indonesia and the United States of America (USA) through the lens of liberal feminism theory. Employing qualitative decryption approaches with a comparative study design, data collected from both the Indonesian Parliament and the USA Parliament were understood, recorded, phrased, compared and analyzed within the framework of liberal feminism theory, focusing on the "Right in Public Life and Politics". The results of the study revealed that while the Government of Indonesia has enacted legislation mandating a minimum of 30% female representation in political parties, both the Indonesian and US parliaments exhibit disproportionately low levels of female members compared to their male counterparts. A notable distinction between the two lies in the parliamentary leadership, with Indonesia being led by a woman and the USA by men. To enhance women's political participation, it is imperative for both governments to rigorously enforce regulations and sanctions against political parties. Additionally, efforts to dismantle the prevailing masculine culture in various societies are crucial in order to foster gender equality and justice, thereby realizing gender democracy.

The elevation of mobility in Palu has evolved into a new noise issue. Noise from motorized vehicles has quite an impact on the tranquility of areas that directly intersect with the highway. Gatot Subroto Axis Road is an instance of a congested road as public facilities such as educational institutions take the crowd of the area. The study aims to analyze the relationship of vehicle activities toward noise level at Gatot Subroto. The research method uses field measurement by a sound level meter (SLM), tripod, and counter. Noise sampling standards refer to SNI 8427:2017 regarding measuring environmental noise levels. Data was collected for one day on weekdays and weekends with three take times at three sampling points. Noise level analysis is carried out using frequency distribution. The next data analysis is to look for the equivalent noise level or LAeq. The noise level points varied between 71,6 dBA-84,02 dBA. The traffic volume reached a peak at 853. The p-value was 0,72 which was above 0,05. The regression test was Y=0,0048x+72,904, and R2 showed 0,15 points, which means that 15% of the noise level was affected by traffic volume. In conclusion, the average noise level at Gatot Subroto Axis Road exceeded the quality standards set according to the Decree of the Minister of State for the Environment No. 48 of 1996, which is 55 dB(A). Despite no significant difference in noise levels on weekdays and weekends based on the t-test, the noise level is affected by traffic volume.

Climate change is a natural phenomenon where there is a very extreme change in the value of climatological elements. The increase in floods and droughts is caused by changes in the characteristics of rain that are far below normal. This study aims to determine the trend of climate change resulting in changes in the characteristics of rain, namely the depth and intensity of rain. Assessment of climate change is seen from trend graphs and the Mann-Kendall statistical test to determine significant changes. To determine the effect of climate change on the characteristics, of rainfall, the calculation is divided into 3 periods, namely period 1 (1994-2003), period 2 (2004-2014), and period 3 (2014-2018). Based on the Mann-Kendall statistical test, climate change also occurred as indicated by a significant Z value, namely the Kediri and Sopak climatological stations 4.64 and 6.26, respectively. The pattern of changes in the daily average rain depth and intensity has occurred from 1994 – 2018 where in period 1 in 1994-2003 there was a normal trend, in period 2 in 2004-2013 there was an increasing trend and in period 3 in 2014-2018, there was an extreme increasing trend

Central Sulawesi Province is a province that has quite high mining activities, so an evaluation of the stability of open pit slope excavations needs to be carried out to prevent collapses during the exploration process which could result in loss of life. Analysis using the finite element method is one method that can be used to analyze slope deformation and stability during the excavation process. This research simulates excavation of a mine slope in 4 stages with a height of 5 m and a slope of 500. The analysis was carried out based on the results of the N-SPT test at three locations (GT-15617, GT-19125 and GT-19841) which are the slopes with the most extreme slopes. The analysis results show that at GT-15617 the maximum deformation occurred at stage 4 of the excavation at 0.18 m with a safety factor of 1.43, the maximum deformation at the GT-19125 location occurred at stage 4 at 0.21 m with a safety factor of 1.26 and at location GT-19841 maximum deformation occurred at stage 4 of 0.21 with a safety factor of 1.21. The overall safety factor analysis results do not meet the required minimum safety factor criteria.

Published: March 2024

In the management of zakat, it is very necessary to have a clear legal umbrella in the form of regulations on zakat which are the basis for zakat management. Along with the times, the existing regulations are sometimes considered no longer accommodate the problem of zakat management in the field. Therefore, the latest regulations on zakat management are needed. This paper aims to try to discuss various legal reforms regarding zakat, especially in the zakat law. This study uses a juridical-normative approach, which is an approach based on legislation, theories, and concepts related to the legal scope of regulations in the field of zakat. The results of the study show that there are various regulations regarding zakat, ranging from Ministerial Regulations, Presidential Regulations, Government Regulations to Laws. And the new law on zakat management was born when the age of independence of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia was quite old, namely 54 years. This is marked by the birth of Law no. 38 of 1999 concerning Management of Zakat. In its development, Law Number 38 of 1999 was revised to achieve optimization of zakat management in Indonesia. The result of the revision was the establishment of Law Number 23 of 2011 concerning Zakat Management. This was followed by the issuance of Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 14 of 2014 concerning the Implementation of Law Number 23 of 2011 concerning Management of Zakat.

Waqf is not just a religious practice, but is also an economic instrument that can make a significant contribution to the welfare of the people. In this context, law no. 41 of 2004 is the legal basis for regulating and managing waqf in Indonesia. In this research, a qualitative method with a literature study approach was used to explore an in-depth understanding of waqf management from the perspective of Islamic law and Law No. 41 of 2004. The concepts and principles of waqf management in Islam, as explained in the Al-Quran, provide a solid foundation for fair, transparent and sustainable management of waqf assets. The verses of the Koran that talk about establishing prayers, paying zakat, and bowing together with those who bow down create a framework that includes spiritual, social, and cooperative dimensions in the management of waqf.
Wakaf bukan sekadar amalan keagamaan, tetapi juga merupakan instrumen ekonomi yang dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan umat. Dalam konteks ini, undang-undang No. 41 tahun 2004 menjadi landasan hukum yang mengatur dan mengelola wakaf di Indonesia. Dalam penelitian ini, metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur digunakan untuk menggali pemahaman mendalam tentang manajemen wakaf dalam perspektif hukum Islam dan undang-undang No. 41 tahun 2004. Konsep dan prinsip manajemen wakaf dalam Islam, sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam Al-Quran, memberikan fondasi yang kokoh untuk pengelolaan harta wakaf yang adil, transparan, dan berkesinambungan. Ayat Al-Quran yang berbicara tentang mendirikan salat, menunaikan zakat, dan rukuk bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang rukuk menciptakan kerangka kerja yang mencakup dimensi spiritual, sosial, dan kerjasama dalam pengelolaan wakaf.

The innovation of e-commerce platforms has transformed zakat and waqf collection by increasing accessibility, transparency and efficiency in raising social funds. Through these platforms, donors can easily track and verify the use of their charitable funds, while amil zakat organisations and charitable foundations can publish financial and project reports transparently. Direct interaction between donors and organisations also strengthens open and trusting relationships. Descriptive research methods and literature studies are used to describe this phenomenon, with secondary data collected from relevant sources. The findings show that the use of e-commerce platforms increases donors' accessibility in tracking the use of charitable funds and verifying their contributions. Transparent reporting features allow amil zakat organisations and charitable foundations to publish financial and project reports openly. Challenges such as data security and donor awareness need to be addressed. Amil zakat organisations and charitable foundations need to ensure relevant features are available, increase awareness and education for donors, maintain data security, and innovate continuously.By optimising the use of e-commerce platforms, zakat and waqf collection can become more accessible, transparent, and efficient. This will encourage wider participation and increase the social impact of charitable programmes supported by zakat and waqf.

The relationship between cell density and cell count differs among Saccharomyces yeast species
Authors: Pinto Javier , Tavakolian Nik , Li Chun-Biu , Stelkens Rike
Published: March 2024

There is a recent push to develop wild and non-domesticated
Saccharomyces yeast strains into useful model systems for
research in ecology and evolution, and for industrial and medical
applications. Yet, the variation between species and strains in
important population parameters, such as growth rate and carrying
capacity, remains largely undescribed. Here, we investigated the
relationship between two commonly used measures in microbiology to
estimate growth rate – cell density and cell count - in 23 strains
across all eight known Saccharomyces species with different
ecological and geographic origins . We found that the slope of
this relationship significantly differs among species. Thus, a given
optical density (OD) does not translate into the same number of cells
across species. We then speculated that this is due to species with
smaller cells producing steeper slopes. While average cell size indeed
differed between species, surprisingly, we found a slightly positive
relationship between cell size and the slope of the cell density-cell
count relationship, in the opposite direction than we predicted. Our
results show that the strain- and species-specificity of the cell
density and cell count relationship should be taken into account when
running competition experiments requiring equal starting population
sizes, when estimating the fitness of strains with different genetic
backgrounds in experimental evolution studies, or when optimizing
strains for industry. If we want to improve the biological
interpretations of fitness data from wild yeasts, and draw meaningful
conclusions from comparisons between wild and established laboratory
strains, we need to calibrate our fitness estimates carefully.
Comparative Phylogeography of Mexican Rock Fig (Ficus petiolaris) and its Fig Wasp Pollinator: Effects of Abiotic Versus Biotic Factors
Authors: Quinteros Kevin , Piatscheck Finn , Satler Jordan , Heath Tracy , Nason John
Published: March 2024

Numerous studies have tested for geographically congruent spatial
genetic structures and population units in codistributed species. Yet,
few have elucidated the relative importance of biogeographic influences
versus ecological interactions in determining the congruence of genetic
structure in coevolving species. Here, we present the first study
testing for genetic codifferentiation in a widely distributed and
highly-coevolved mutualism, in which symbiont gene dispersal is expected
to be positively correlated. In the fig, Ficus petiolaris, and
its host-specific Pegoscapus pollinating wasp, we evaluated the
extent to which geographical patterns of differentiation in each species
are similar and explained by shared sources of vicariance, co-dispersal,
or species-dependent factors. In both species, the Trans-Mexican
Volcanic Belt was a major source of vicariance differentiating southern
and northern phylogroups. Within these phylogroups, however, fig and
pollinator showed surprisingly different population genetic structure.
In F. petiolaris, the Gulf of California was a strong
phylogeographic break in the northern phylogroup. In contrast, within
its northern phylogroup, Pegoscapus sp. showed no genetic
structure and only weak isolation by distance over a 1500 km range. In
the southern phylogroup, exceptional genetic differentiation was
observed among populations separated by as little as 300 km. Despite
mutual selective pressure between figs and fig wasps, and the role of
fig wasps in fig gene flow, we conclude that range-wide patterns of
genetic differentiation are primarily influenced by biological features
unique to each species rather than by shared sources of vicariance or
correlated gene dispersal.

In this letter, we focus on the problem of direct position determination
(DPD) for moving targets. Compared with the traditional two-step
localization methods, the DPD methods is more robust at low
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, to guarantee the optimal location
results the computational complexity of DPD with grid search is too
high, especially for moving targets. Therefore, we propose a new DPD
method for moving targets with low computational complexity. First,
using a proposed cost function, we obtain the position information from
the received array signals directly. Second, we use the method of
successional difference which averages the difference result of position
over time to extract the velocity. It avoids the multi-dimensional
parameters grid search and reduces the the computational complexity
greatly. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm
outperforms other methods in a wide range of scenarios, especially at
low SNR.

The world’s diverse and complex climates pose significant challenges in
ecological and evolutionary studies, frequently resulting in climatic
characterizations that overlook the significance of transitional
climates. This study examines the nature and distribution of the
transitions between climatic regions worldwide and evaluates their
impact for inferring the past and present climatic preferences of the
Asian Palmates, a highly diverse and climatically complex lineage of
Araliaceae. We find consistent geographic patterns of transitions
worldwide and extraordinarily heterogeneous climates in the transitions
between the temperate and tropical climates in Eurasia. Notably, many
current genera of the Asian Palmates and their early ancestors have
strong affinities for transitional zones, suggesting an initial
diversification under such climates. Such results emphasize the
significance of transitional climates in understanding niche diversity
and evolutionary patterns and calls for a (re)evaluation of the role of
transitional areas in promoting biodiversity across the Tree of Life.
Improved Model Predictive Control Based on Luenberger State Observer for LC-Coupling Hybrid Active Power Filter

An improved model predictive control (MPC) with Luenberger state
observer is proposed in this article for LC-coupling hybrid active power
filter (LC-HAPF). Generally, the implementation of MPC for LC-HAPF
requires additional sensors for measuring coupling capacitor voltage,
which increases the system cost and reduces reliability. To relax these
problems, both continuous and discrete models are deduced first. Then,
the Luenberger observer is utilized based on the discrete model to
mitigate the steady-state error without additional sensors. In addition,
the delay compensation is given for the digital control delay. Finally,
the effectiveness of the improved MPC for LC-HAPF is verified by
experiment results, indicating that the proposed method has fast dynamic
response and low steady-state error.
A little-known world - assessing a non-bee crop flower visiting community using metabarcoding

Pollinator diversity is critical for optimal ecosystem service and
function. While bees are frequently the most efficient pollinators, they
represent only a small fraction of pollinator diversity. Non-bee
pollinators have received little recognition for their role in
commercial agricultural pollination despite representing 95% of flower
visitor diversity. Many non-bee pollinators are more resilient to
land-use intensification and climate change due to their nomadic
life-history and tolerance of inclement weather. Our research
characterizes non-bee pollinator communities, their foraging
preferences, and floral fidelity in strawberry crops. We caught 608
non-bee flower visitors, across three field sites, during three months
of the flowering period (May–August) of day-neutral strawberries in
southern Ontario. DNA metabarcoding provided species-level
identifications of the non-bee flower visiting community. Diptera (64%)
and Hymenoptera (22%) (primarily bee species) were the most abundant
flower visitors; Coleoptera and Hemiptera were also collected from
flowers. Metabarcoding of pollen identified pollen from 110 genera
representing 48 different families. Species with a high floral fidelity
(flower constancy) for visiting strawberries were likely to be more
effective pollinators (vectors of conspecific pollen between
reproductively receptive strawberry plants). Additionally, small amounts
of pollen from other plant genera suggested that insects are active and
mobile, rather than staying stationary on a single flower.
Acoustic phenology among tropical resident birds differs between native forest species and parkland colonizer species

Most birds are characterized by a seasonal phenology closely adapted to
local climatic conditions, even in tropical habitats where climatic
seasonality is slight. In order to better understand the phenologies of
resident tropical birds, and how phenology may differ among species at
the same site, we used ~70,000 hours of audio recordings
collected continuously for two years at four recording stations in
Singapore and nine custom-made machine learning classifiers to determine
the vocal phenology of a panel of nine resident bird species. We
detected distinct seasonality in vocal activity in some species but not
others. Native forest species sang seasonally. In contrast, species
which have only had breeding populations in Singapore for the last few
decades exhibited seemingly aseasonal or unpredictable song activity
throughout the year. Urbanization and habitat modification over the last
200 years have altered the composition of species in Singapore, which
appears to have influenced phenological dynamics in the avian community.
It is unclear what is driving the differences in phenology between these
two groups of species, but it may be due to either differences in
seasonal availability of preferred foods, or newly established
populations may require decades to adjust to the local phenology. Our
results highlight the ways that anthropogenic habitat modification may
disrupt phenological cycles in tropical regions in addition to altering
the species community.

Relapsed refractory leukaemia represents a difficult to treat population
of patients. The balance between perceived benefit and potential side
effects along with the significant financial burden of managing
multidrug resistant sepsis are factors which determine the choice of
salvage regimen. Here we present our experience with the combination of
Fludrabine, Cytarabine, GCSF with Bortezomib. The morphological complete
response rate was 58.% with 50% of the patients achieving complete
remission. With only three patients requiring ICU admission during the
period of care. 66.6% of the patients went on to undergo successful
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Thus, proving to be a possible,
safer alternative to other salvage regimens
Companion planting pattern of Salvia leucantha Cav. and Tagetes erecta L. regulates population dynamics of natural enemies and pests in tea plantation

Biological control is an element of an integrated pest management
approach by restoring or maintaining biodiversity and associated
ecosystem services. Introducing flowering plants into crop management
may promote the top-down pest suppression by natural enemies and reduce
the reliance on pesticide use. Sage (Salvia farinacea Cav.) and marigold
(Tagetes erecta L.) were planted in tea gardens in this paper to
investigate the effect of sage and marigold, that of different layouts
on the pest and natural enemy populations in tea gardens. It was found
that sage and marigold, the checkerboard planting layout could
consistently increase the population of natural enemies such as spiders,
coccinellids, ladybird beetles, flower bugs, etc., and suppress the
population of major pests (aphids, thrips, whiteflies, etc.) in tea
gardens. At the same time, it was also found that the pests did not show
significant tropism when flower plants and tea trees were present
simultaneously, suggesting that flower plants may mask the ability of
the host plant to achieve protection of the target crop. Additionally,
the content composition of tea leaves, such as tea polyphenols and free
amino acids, was significantly improved in the treated area planted with
sage compared to the blank treatment group. Thus, it suggests that
planting sage and marigold in tea gardens are not only a good measure to
regulate the population density of natural enemies and pests, but also
can have a positive impact on tea quality.

Background: Recent advances in cancer genome analysis and the
practice of precision medicine have made it possible to identify
fractions with rare genetic alterations. EGFR-amplified cancers
are known to be rare fractions across organs and have a poor prognosis.
The use of anti-EGFR antibody for EGFR-amplified cancers has been
promising, but the evidence is not yet clear. Case: In this
report, we describe the case of a 48-year-old man diagnosed with
advanced gallbladder cancer. The patient was administered Gemcitabine
plus Cisplatin, followed by S-1 monotherapy; however, disease
progression was observed after two cycles of each regimen. Comprehensive
genomic profiling test revealed EGFR-amplification, and the
patient was treated with combination therapy with the anti-EGFR antibody
Necitumumab, Gemcitabine, and Cisplatin. After two cycles of treatment,
showed a reduction in tumor size, and the treatment response was
evaluated as partial response. On day 90, after five cycles of
treatment, tumor progression was confirmed. In addition, after disease
progression, liquid biopsy revealed acquired pathogenic gene alterations
suggesting anti-EGFR antibody resistance. Conclusions: This
report supports the clinical benefit of anti-EGFR antibody for
EGFR-amplified biliary tract cancers and the importance of
genomic analysis in personalized therapy and drug resistance research.
