Aims Morquio syndrome is a mucopolysaccharidosis (type 4) that has autosomal recessive inheritance. Moreover, it is caused by defects in the two genes; GALNS (Murcio A) and GLB1 (Murcio B). The prevalence rate of this condition is estimated to be about 1 per 200000 live births globally. Besides, Middle Eastern cases shape the greatest ratio, due to higher rates of consanguineous marriages. The most frequent clinical manifestations of the disease include skeletal abnormalities, hearing and vision problems, decreased physical growth, and cardiac malformations. Methods & Materials This study investigated the pathogenic mutations in two Iranian individuals. Both cases were the result of consanguineous marriages with mucopolysaccharidosis type 4 (A or B types, each). Following of genomic DNA extraction, Whole Exome Sequencing was conducted for the study patients. Then, for the validation of observed pathogenic mutations, sanger sequencing was performed for the patients. Findings Two explored patients demonstrated homozygote mutations. Mutation analysis of the GLB1 gene revealed c.443G>A mutation in one patient and GALNS gene c.313A>G in the other. Conclusion Two pathogenic mutations in GLB1 and GALNS gene were found in 2 Iranian patients in this study. The NGS was a desirable and reliable technique for detecting these two mutations. The c.313A> G mutation in the GALNS gene was novel and had not been reported in the world.
A Versatile Algorithm for Autofocusing SAR Images
Authors: Monakov A. A.
Published: February 2021

Introduction.Random deviations of the antenna phase centre of a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are a source of phase errors for the received signal. These phase errors frequently cause blurring of the radar image. The image quality can be improved using various autofocus algorithms. Such algorithms estimate phase errors via optimization of an objective function, which defines the radar image quality. The image entropy and sharpness are well known examples of objective functions. The objective function extremum can be found by fast optimization methods, whose realization is a challenging computing task.

Aim.To synthesize a versatile and computationally simple autofocusing algorithm allowing any objective function to used without changing its structure significantly.

Materials and methods.An algorithm based on substituting the selected objective function with a simpler surrogate objective function, whose extremum can be found by a direct method, is proposed. This method has been referred as the MM optimization in scientific literature. It is proposed to use a quadratic function as a surrogate objective function.

Results.The synthesized algorithm is straightforward, not requiring recursive methods for finding the optimal solution. These advantages determine the enhanced speed and stability of the proposed algorithm. Adjusting the algorithm for the selected objective function requires minimal software changes. Compared to the algorithm using a linear surrogate objective function, the proposed algorithm provides a 1.5 times decrease in the standard deviation of the phase error estimate, with an approximately 10 % decrease in the number of iterations.

Conclusion.The proposed autofocusing algorithm can be used in synthetic aperture radars to compensate the arising phase errors. The algorithm is based on the MM-optimization of the quadratic surrogate objective functions for radar images. The computer simulation results confirm the efficiency of the proposed algorithm even in case of large phase errors.
A Method for Assessing the State of the Snow and Ice Cover by the Brewster Angle
Authors: Mashkov V. G. , Malyshev V. A. , Fedyunin P. A.
Published: February 2021

Introduction.Landing is the most challenging and dangerous part of the helicopter flight. The development of systems facilitating safe landing is a priority task for both Russian and foreign engineering companies. Landing on unprepared sites covered with snow and ice may be determined by the need to deliver cargo and ammunition in combat conditions, during search and rescue operations, evacuations of victims, etc.

Aim.Development of a method for remote assessment of the snow and ice cover based on the results of oblique sensing of the underlying surface with a radio signal with vertical polarization.

Materials and methods.In the MatLab environment, the authors conducted numerical simulations of Fresnel reflection coefficients of echo signals with vertical polarization in the 40–90 degree sensing range in the operating frequency range when solving the direct and inverse problem of reconstruction of the parameters of snow and ice layers.

Results.Intervals of the Brewster angle values were obtained at which the value of the Fresnel reflection coefficient from the boundaries of the snow and ice cover takes minimal. Thus, was found to be – 47...55°, – 55...58° and – 58...61° for dry snow, dry firn and dry ice, respectively. The depth resolution when using an ultra-wideband LFM signal with a frequency from 2 to 8 GHz is about 4 cm. The methodological error in determining the dielectric permittivity of layers by the Brewster angle comprises not more than 3 %.

Conclusion.The error in determining the relative permittivity and the depth of k layers under an increase in the RMS values of the noise level from 3.8 to 4.8 with a step of 0.1 for 100 implementations of each with a probability of 0.95 does not exceed 10 %, which confirms the validity of this method. The implementation of which allows you to automate the process of evaluating the possibility of a safe landing, thereby reducing the decision-making time and increasing the level of safety.
EKONOMI ISLAM DAN PERSAINGAN GLOBAL ANTARA HARAPAN DAN TANTANGAN
Authors: Sukawi Z.
Published: February 2021

Tulisan tentang pengembangan ekonomi Islam dalam persaingan global antara tantangan dan harapan ini dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan eksistensi syariat Islam di tengah-tengah derasnya kompetisi global dan implementasi misi Islam yang rahmatan li al alamin. Hal ini dilakukan sebagai langkah pendasaran, pengawala dan mengarahkan orientasi   dalam berbagai dimensi kehidupan terutama dibidang ekonomi Islam atau ekonomi syari’ah sekaligus sebagai antisipasi  pemberlakuan  MEA, GATT, dan pasar  bebas secara global.

Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah simultan, integratif interkonektif dan menjauhkan  pendekatan yang terpisah, individual dan terkotak-kotak. Dengan pendekatan tersebut diharapkan akan saling memberi masukan, mengontrol dan menyempurnakan. Kajian ekonomi Islam sesungguhnya tidak terlepas dari persoalan ekonomi sebagai aktifitas umat manusia dalam mencapai keinginan dan memenuhi kebutuhannya secara praktis-operasional sekaligus sebagai Ilmu pengetahuan (Ilmu ekonomi Islam) yang memberikan dasar dan orientasi secara teoritik-konseptual. Sebagaimana diketahui bahwa ekonomi Islam muncul di saat perekonomian modern lambat dalam menghadirkan solusi atas problematika ekonomi kontemporer, yang telah gagal menyelesaikan persoalan kemanusiaan,  sosial  ekonomi suatu Negara.

Tulisan ini dimaksudkan sebagai upaya reaktualisasi dan revitalisasi ekonomi Islam yang pernah Berjaya dimasa lampau dan mencarikan solusi terhadap problem dan krisis ekonomi global yang banyak menyesatkan (memadu tradisi dan mengembangkan modernitas). Konsep ekonomi Islam yang khas, unik dan distingtif sangat berbeda dengan ekonomi kapitalisme atau sosialis. Sebagaimana dikatakan Abdul Gafur bahwa dalam dalam perkembangan kontemporer ekonomi Islam  merupakan buah pikiran dari para ekonom Muslim pada abad ke-20 Masehi. Jika dalam pemikiran ekonomi Islam klasik dibagi menjadi tiga fase, maka pemikiran ekonomi Islam kontemporer ini dibagi menjadi tiga aliran, yaitu aliran iqtishādunā, aliran mainstream, dan  aliran alternatif. Masing-masing dari ketiga aliran ini memiliki corak pemikiran yang berbeda-beda.
AGAMA DALAM MASYARAKAT MODERN: PANDANGAN JÜRGEN HABERMAS
Authors: Junaedi Mahfudz
Published: February 2021

Agama dalam ruang publik dan Agama dalam masyarakat modern dalam pemikiran Jürgen Habermas merupakan dua sisi yang berbeda, tetapi memiliki substansi yang sama, di mana agama ditempatkan pada ruang publik bukan pada ruang privat. Masyarakat modern yang selalu ditandai dengan demokrasi, sekularisasi, dan pluralisme menempatkan agama pada posisi untuk dilakukan pembacaan lain dan pendekatan pada interpretasi yang mengikuti perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan peradaban modern. Diferensiasi fungsional yang mendorong ke arah individualisasi agama tidak secara niscaya mengimplikasikan hilangnya pengaruh dan relevansi agama, baik dalam arena politik, budaya masyarakat, maupun tingkah laku sehari-hari.
MODEL PENDAYAGUNAAN ZAKAT PRODUKTIF DI LAZISMU KECAMATAN SUKOREJO KABUPATEN KENDAL
Authors: Bashori Akmal , Jakfar Akhmad
Published: February 2021

Zakat merupakan katagori ibadah yang mempunyai dua dimensi yakni ibadah mahdhoh dan ibadah bidang harta yang memiliki nilai sosial (al-ibâdah al-mâliyyah al-ijtimâ’iyah), maka ia dituntut untuk bagaimana memperhatikan lingkungan sosial khususnya fakir-miskin (QS, 9: 60). Oleh karena itu dalam hal ini LAZISMU berupaya untuk bagaimana menyikapi dan mengimplementasikan ibadah zakat yang berdimensi ganda ini terhadap realitas kemiskinan yang ada, di antaranya adalah a) pemberdayaan ekonomi yang meliputi pemberian bantuan modal usaha, dan ternak produktif, b) sosial dakwah. Secara umum pendayagunaan zakat produktif yang dilakukan tepat sasaran dan berkategori baik. Meskipun demikian masih terdapat beberapa perbaikan yang dapat dilakukan agar zakat yang diberikan bisa memberikan dampak yang lebih maksimal kepada mustahik: pertama, dukungan pada aspek spiritual masih perlu dimaksimalkan agar mampu mengentaskan lebih banyak kemiskinan; kedua, dari komponen pendidikan dan Dakwah Sosial yang masih berada pada predikat Cukup Baik.
PARTISIPASI PUBLIK PONDOK PESANTREN DI KABUPATEN WONOSOBO
Authors: Haryanto Sri , Muntaqo Lutfan
Published: February 2021

Pesantren dengan berbagai sumber dayanya merupakan modal sosial yang sangat penting bagi pembangunan dan pengembangan suatu daerah. Wonosobo termasuk kabupaten di provinsi Jawa Tengah yang memiliki pondok pesantren dengan jumlah ratusan dengan santri yang berjumlah puluhan ribu.

Partisipasi publik pesantren sangat penting dalam perencanaan, penyusunan, penyelenggaraan, hingga evaluasi pelayanan publik. Kenyataannya di Wonosobo, partisipasi ini masih sangat rendah meskipun tidak kosong sama sekali.

Salah satu penyebabnya adalah karena pesantren masih disibukkan dengan persoalan internal seperti penyesuaian kurikulum, pembekalan softskill bagi santri, persoalan infrastruktur dan sebagainya sehingga belum bisa terlibat banyak dalam urusan publik.

Artikel berbasis pengabdian masyarakat ini meneliti profil pesantren di Kabupaten Wonosobo, partisipasi publik yang dilakukannya, serta hal-hal yang dapat dilakukan dalam rangka meningatkan partisipasi publik pesantren.

Tuberkulose ist eine Infektionskrankheit, die durch das Bakterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis verursacht wird. Es gehört zu den tödlichsten Krankheiten der Welt. Nach Angaben der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) sind Asien und Afrika die Kontinente mit der größten Anzahl bestätigter Fälle auf dem Planeten. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die Anzahl der bestätigten Fälle von Tuberkulose in Brasilien zwischen 2007 und 2016 aufzuzeigen. Die Forschung wurde in der DATASUS-Datenbank (http://datasus.saude.gov.br/) durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Anzahl der bestätigten Krankheitsfälle neun Jahre lang (2007 bis 2015) stabil blieb und im letzten untersuchten Jahr einen starken Rückgang aufwies. Die südöstliche Region wies die meisten bestätigten Fälle auf, gefolgt vom Nordosten des Landes, dem Süden, dem Norden und dem Mittleren Westen. Menschen zwischen 20 und 59 Jahren haben die meisten Fälle; Das männliche Geschlecht ist ungefähr doppelt so stark von Tuberkulose betroffen wie das weibliche. und Lungentuberkulose hatte viel höhere Zahlen als die extrapulmonale Form und die Fälle von Menschen mit beiden Arten der Krankheit. Das Gedränge von Menschen erleichtert die Ausbreitung von M. tuberculosis-Bakterien. Die Anzahl der Fälle von Lungentuberkulose war größer als die Anzahl der Fälle vom extrapulmonalen Typ, da sie in Umgebungen mit vielen Menschen schnell auf dem Luftweg übertragen werden. Erwachsene scheinen anfälliger für Tuberkulose zu sein, da es für diese Altersgruppe keine Impfkampagne gibt. Bei richtiger Behandlung sind die Heilungschancen jedoch hoch. Es scheint eine Verbesserung der Gesundheitsorganisation in Brasilien und eine bessere Vorbereitung der Angehörigen der Gesundheitsberufe auf die Behandlung von Tuberkulose gegeben zu haben.

Arterielle Hypertonie ist die ungewöhnliche Erhöhung des Drucks, den Blut auf die Wände der Blutgefäße eines Individuums trägt. Erhöhter Blutdruck tritt still, so dass Ihre Symptome auf den ersten Blick nicht zu spüren sind. Die Behandlung von Bluthochdruck kann durch pharmazeutische Medikamente oder durch einfache Aktionen wie die Änderung der täglichen Gewohnheiten zu gesünderen Gewohnheiten durchgeführt werden. Ziel dieser Forschung ist es, die Zahl der Fälle von Bluthochdruck im Bundesstaat Amapá zwischen 2006 und 2012 aufzuzeigen. Die Forschung wurde in der DATASUS-Datenbank (http://datasus.saude.gov.br/) durchgeführt. Die Zahl der Fälle von Bluthochdruck in Amapá im Zeitraum 2006 bis 2012 variiert stark zwischen den Jahren, die in der Landeshauptstadt häufiger auftreten; bei Frauen höher ist als bei Männern; in der Altersgruppe von 50 Jahren bis 69 Jahren höher ist als die Zahl der Fälle in anderen Altersgruppen; und die meisten Fälle haben keinen Einfluss von Übergewicht, sitzendem Lebensstil oder Rauchen. In Amapá Fällen von Bluthochdruck bleiben Fälle von Bluthochdruck aufgrund der mangelnden Einhaltung der Behandlung oder der falschen Behandlung, verursacht durch den Mangel an Informationen über die Schwere des veränderten Drucks für die Gesundheit. Frauen haben eine größere persönliche Gesundheitsversorgung und eine größere Aufrechterhaltung der Behandlung nach der Diagnose. Chronische nichtübertragbare Krankheiten bieten ein höheres Risiko für die Bevölkerung mit einer größeren Altersgruppe. Die wirksame Ursache für Bluthochdruck-Fälle in Amapá scheint genetischer Faktor und Stress zu sein, verdrängt Faktoren wie Übergewicht und sitzenden Lebensstil. Reduzierte Schulbildung führt zu Unsicherheit am Arbeitsplatz, zunehmendem Stress und verändertem Blutdruck. Das Rauchen ist nicht der Hauptfaktor, da seine nationale Reduzierung durch Aufklärungskampagnen junger Menschen erreicht wurde. Leider bleiben Fälle von Schwierigkeiten beim Zugang zu Gesundheit, Diagnose und Behandlung von hypertensiven Patienten innerhalb des Staates real.

La tubercolosi è una malattia infettiva causata dal batterio Mycobacterium tuberculosis. È tra le malattie che uccidono di più al mondo. Secondo l’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità (OMS), Asia e Africa sono i continenti con il maggior numero di casi confermati sul pianeta. L’obiettivo di questo studio era mostrare il numero di casi confermati di tubercolosi in Brasile tra il 2007 e il 2016. La ricerca è stata condotta nella banca dati DATASUS (http://datasus.saude.gov.br/). I risultati mostrano che il numero di casi confermati della malattia è rimasto stabile per nove anni (dal 2007 al 2015), mostrando un forte calo nell’ultimo anno esaminato; la regione sud-orientale ha avuto il maggior numero di casi confermati, seguita rispettivamente dal nord-est del paese, dal sud, dal nord e dal midwest; le persone tra i 20 e i 59 anni hanno il maggior numero di casi; i maschi sono circa il doppio della tubercolosi delle femmine; e la tubercolosi polmonare avevano un numero molto più alto della forma extrapolmonare e dei casi di persone con entrambi i tipi di malattia. L’agglomerazione delle persone facilita la diffusione del batterio M. Tubercolosi. Il numero di casi di tubercolosi polmonare era superiore al numero di casi di tipo extrapolmonare perché viene trasmesso rapidamente dall’aria in ambienti con molte persone. Gli individui adulti sembrano essere più suscettibili alla tubercolosi, in quanto non esiste una campagna di vaccinazione per questa fascia d’età. Tuttavia, le possibilità di cura sono elevate quando si utilizza il trattamento corretto. Sembra che ci sia stato un miglioramento dell’organizzazione sanitaria in Brasile e una migliore preparazione degli operatori sanitari nella cura della tubercolosi.

Published: February 2021

Objectives: The purpose of writing this literature review is to describe the condyle shape and position parameters in panoramic radiographs to be used as markers in diagnosing a TMD case.
Literature Review: There are several classifications of both normal and pathological condyles in terms of panoramic radiographs, however these require more detailed observation. Panoramic radiographs that are only two-dimentional and only performed when the teeth are biting edge to edge so that they only show the position of the condyle movement and the shape of the condyle from the lateral view. Panoramic radiograph also have limitations in imaging soft tissues such as articular disc which are vital anatomy in analyzing a TMD case.
Conclusion: Assessment of the shape and position of the condyles on a panoramic radiograph can be used as an early diagnosis of TMD. 2-dimensional modalities such as TMJ conventional lateral and frontal or 3-dimensional modalities such as CBCT or CT can be used for further assessment of a TMD case, while MRI or ultrasound can be used for soft tissue abnormalities.

Objectives: The aims of this review is to describe thyroid shield function and to look the dentists’ perceptions considering the application in dental radiographic examination, particularly in cephalometric and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) examination.
Literature Review: The utilization of thyroid shield has been signified reduction of radiation dose about 34% in cephalometric examination and 18-40.1% in CBCT. The absence of universal guidelines has led to minimal perception of dentists on the importance of using thyroid shield as indicated by the low utilization of thyroid shield among patients. This low perception can be improved through adequate education and applied training in the use of thyroid shield.
Conclusion: Dentists’ perceptions regarding the application of thyroid shield need to be improved so that the application of thyroid shield can be increased in order to protect patients from the risk of dental radiation exposure.

Objectives: To inform and discuss the benefits and harms of low dose radiation.
Literature Review: Low dose radiation (LDR) was often used, including for services in the field of dentistry. Several studies have studied this for a long time but the results are still not conclusively agreed. Some researchers found a variety of side effects that are not beneficial to the body, but some found no association with the body damage caused by this, and even some found that LDR has beneficial effects on the body.
Conclusion: low doses of radiation cause significant changes in the body, although this condition is met with an adaptive reaction which is considered a beneficial response by the body. Therefore, no matter how small the radiation is given, it will still have an impact on the body so it is better to be wise in its use.
Full fledged vs shared/outsourced takaful operators: A maqasid index approach
Authors: Syed Mohamad Sharifah Fairuz
Published: February 2021

The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of a full-fledged takaful operator versus shared or outsourced operators in Malaysia. Currently in Malaysia, there is only one full-fledged takaful company which bases its operation on the Shariah principles without conventional counterparts. In this paper, full-fledged takaful company refers to a takaful operator with no conventional parent or subsidiary. The paper uses the maqasid index approach which implements certain ratios based on the objectives of Shariah. The objectives of Shariah are threefold; first is to educate the individual, second is to establish justice and third is to maintain public interest. These objectives are well-suited to and consistent with the sustainable development goals (SGDs) within the financial institutions (FIs) to enhance a healthier economic system. The study used a maqasid index approach on six takaful operators in Malaysia to see whether there are any differences among the operators which are full-fledged takaful companies and those having shared or outsourced functions. The result showed that being a full-fledged takaful operator does not hinder financial institutions to have an acceptable Maqasid index figure by using the approach in this study. In fact, from the findings, a full-fledged takaful operator showed the highest Maqasid index compared to other types of takaful operators in Malaysia. Due to the limited data availability, the study only focuses on selected companies and variables in order to implement the use of ratios. This paper reflects the importance of the study to enhance that Islamic financial institutions should grow in achieving Malaysia’s goal to become an Islamic financial hub.This paper fulfils a gap towards the area of Islamic insurance, which is still very new compared to other topics in Islamic finance.

Published: February 2021

Korean Wave or also known as 'Hallyu' in the Chinese Language, symbolises the global acceptance of the Korean cultural industries. It started in the 1990s and became a recent phenomenon all over the world. The Korean Wave also impacts the Malaysian youths. It can be seen in the Malaysians' youth followings of trends where it gradually influenced the lifestyle choices of foods, cosmetics, entertainment, and technology from the influence of Korean products. A growing demand for Korean food leads to increasing number of Korean food establishments in Malaysia. Nevertheless, only a few of the establishments have halal JAKIM certificates. Getting a halal certification from JAKIM (Malaysia's Halal authority) is necessary for business, but certain food industry players are left wondering if the effort is worth it. Therefore, this study aims to explore challenges to get the Malaysian Halal Certification for Korean food restaurants in Malaysia. After identifying the obstacles involved, this research also examines the challenges in obtaining Halal Certificates among Korean Food Entrepreneurs in Malaysia.  The approach of this study involves data collection methods through literature review followed by field study through numerous interview sessions with selected Korean restaurants in Kuala Lumpur and members of Malaysian Korean Fans Club. It is found that there is now more than 60 per cent of Korean food operators that are successful in getting halal certification compared to the past. The data from this study can help the industry understand that getting halal certification is not complex, with clear cut procedures, despite many challenges the industry needs to go through.

Authors: Mohd Jaapar Asmah , Ramadili Mohd Shamsher Mohammad , Mohd Rasid Mohamed Eskandar Shah
Published: February 2021

The study explores the Shariah index membership effect around index revision period especially to the newly added and deleted constituent stocks (termed as event stocks). This study analysed 40 event stocks for Shariah blue-chip index, Dow Jones Islamic Market Titans Malaysia 25 Index (DJIMY25). The analysis was conducted over a period of seven years (2009-2015) using event study methodologies which capture abnormal returns, trading volumes, and return volatility, and discussed the extent of market efficiency. The study divided the event stocks into three groups – additions, deletions due to the index annual rebalancing and deletions due to non-Shariah compliance. The findings of this study provide a new evidence on index additions and deletions contrary to the ones reported in previous studies. Surprisingly, additions to DJIMY25 produces negative results with permanent decrease in stock returns and temporary decrease in trading volumes. The deletions either due to the index annual rebalancing or non-Shariah compliance have shown negative results with the decrease in stock price, temporary decrease in trading volumes and increase in the stock’s absolute volatility. The finding of this study implied that index membership in Shariah index can induce Shariah compliant risk for the firms that are unable to maintain their Shariah compliant status in the long-term.

This research aims to analyze the influence of workload and work environment, mediated by work-related stress, on local police officers' performance. The population of this research was police officers of the Yapen Island Regency's Local Police, Papua region. The Slovin formula was used to determine the number of samples, and as many as 169 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used as a research instrument. The SPSS Statistics was used to analyze the data. The analytical method used was descriptive analysis, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, regression analysis, and mediation analysis using PROCESS macro by Hayes. The results showed that workload and work environment had a significant favorable influence on work-related stress. It also revealed that workload and work environment had a significant favorable influence on performance. Besides, work-related stress had a significant negative influence on performance. Work-related stress could mediate the relationship between workload and performance, while the relationship between work environment and performance could not be mediated by work-related stress. It implies that workload should be the improvement priority in designing the achievable performance target.
