Kabupaten Aceh Jaya termasuk wilayah endmeis filariasis. Pelaksanaan Program pemberian  obat  pencegahan massal (POPM) lima putaran dilakukan dari tahun 2011 sampai 2015. Oleh karena gagal pre-TAS pada tahun 2016, maka dilakuakn POPM 2 putaran lagi tahun 2017 dan 2018. Evaluasi pelaksanaan program pengendalian filariasis berjalan dengan baik namun aspek penyebab kegagalan POPM tidak diketahui secara pasti. Banyak hal yang menjadi faktor resiko penularan filariasis diantaranya keberadaan agent, host (manusia dan hewan) dan faktor lingkungan. Penelitian ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran densitas mikrofilaria pada reservoir di wilayah endemis filariasis Kabupaten Aceh Jaya terutama Desa Lhok Bout dan Desa Ligan. Penelitian ini merupakan cross sectional dan jumlah hewan yang tertangkap bersifat purposive sampling pada 100 hewan yaitu kucing dan monyet ekor panjang. Pengumpulan data dilkaukan pada bulan Agustus dan Oktober 2017 di Desa Ligan dan Desa Lhok Bout Kabupaten Aceh Jaya. Hasil pemeriksaan mikroskopis pada 83 kucing dan 17 monyet ekorv panjang adalah 4 slide darah kucing ditemukan positif Brugia malayi dan 2 slide darah monyet ekor panjang ditemukan cacing non Brugia malayi yang dicurigai adalah Dilofillaria sp. Oleh karena, kucing dan amonyet ekor panajng positif terdapat cacing mikrofillaria di dalam darahnya maka Kabuapetn Aceh Jaya termasuk wilayah endemis zoonotik reservoir filariasis. Untuk wilayah yang zoonotic reservoir filariasis, pengendalian filariasis tidak hanya pada agent, host manusia namun juga harus memperhatikan host reservoir.Pengendalian cacing Brugia malayi atau non Brugia malayi pada reservoir juga harus dilakukan untuk pemutusan rantai penularan selain pengendalian vector dan usaha lainnya.

Females on board and sustainability performance in a developing country: Evidence from Egypt
Authors: Noureldin Neveen , Basuony Mohamed A. K.
Published: January 2022

This study aims at filling the existing research gap by scrutinizing the influence of females on management boards on sustainability performance in a developing country using cross-sectional data from the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) of non-financial companies over the period 2012–2019. To the best of our knowledge, the analysis is considered one of the earliest empirical studies that tests the relationship of females on management board and sustainability performance in Egypt. Our results indicate that female representation on board has a positive impact on sustainability performance, which demonstrates that companies that have females on their boards have a better sustainability performance. Moreover, board size and independence enhance sustainability performance. Thus, this study has imperative repercussions on users and companies’ boards in Egypt, which recommend that current Egyptian regulatory bodies would take further steps that may significantly impact the environmental, social and corporate governance imminent in Egypt

Correlación entre elastografía tiroidea y anatomía patológica de nódulos tiroideos
Authors: M F Elias Kairuz , D Riolo
Published: January 2022

INTRODUCCION: Frente a la alta prevalencia de enfermedad y nódulos tiroideos en nuestra población(Argentina), en el ámbito de la práctica clínica, lo importante ante un nódulo tiroideo es determinar sunaturaleza benigna o maligna, puesto que su manejo clínico es muy diferente.Tras su detección clínica, se suele practicar una ecografía, la cual tiene un papel fundamental para eldiagnóstico, poniendo en evidencia signos ecográficos indicadores de benignidad o malignidad. Por esto,se desarrolló el sistema TI-RADS, para clasificar la probabilidad de malignidad/benignidad de los nódulostiroideos en imagen ecográfica el modo B y Doppler color.Sin embargo, estos criterios ecográficos no tienen suficiente sensibilidad y especificidad, por lo que enmuchos casos se recurre al examen citológico, el Gold stándar, para confirmar el diagnóstico. La biopsiacon punción con aguja fina bajo control ecográfico es un procedimiento mínimamente invasivo, pero noexento de riesgos ni resultados falsos negativos. Por esto la introducción de la elastografía para el estudiode los nódulos tiroideos se propuso con el objetivo de incrementar el rendimiento diagnóstico de laecografía, y así poder elegir más criteriosamente cuál nódulo merece un estudio citológico.La elastografía comprende un conjunto de técnicas que permiten la elasticidad de los tejidos. La dureza ylos valores de elasticidad obtenidos estarán en relación directa a la severidad de la patología: a mayorafectación histológica, mayor rigidez y por lo tanto mayor probabilidad de malignidad.OBJETIVO: Analizar la capacidad diagnóstica de la elastografía, para diferencias nódulos tiroides benignosy malignos, utilizando como prueba de referencia el análisis anatomopatologico de la citología obtenidapor punción con aguja fina bajo control ecográfico.MATERIALES Y METODOS: Estudio observacional descriptivo y retrospectivo.Pacientes de ambos sexos, mayores de edad, que asistieron al servicio con indicación de PAAF guiada porecografía, de nódulo tiroideo, previamente diagnosticado (n= 81), en un periodo comprendido entre losmeses de abril del año 2019 al mes de enero del año 2020, inclusive. A todos se les realizó previo a lapunción, elastografía shear wave, obteniendo valores en kPa. Se utilizó como valor de corte 65 kPa (valoresmenores indicarían benignidad, y valores mayores malignidad).RESULTADOS: Se realizó elastografía tiroidea a 81 pacientes con nódulo tiroideo previamentediagnosticado, obteniendo 56 resultados benignos, 21 malignos y 4 bordeline. En el 82,7% de los nódulosestudiados hubo correlación con el resultado obtenido por elastografía con el anatomopatologico, tantobenigno como maligno.CONCLUSIÓN: La probabilidad de malignidad de un nódulo tiroideo, según este estudio, estádirectamente relacionada con los valores de la elastografía. Por consiguiente, la elastografía SWE permite predecir la benignidad de un nódulo y consecuentemente reducir el número de punciones aspirativas conaguja fina.
Bagaza virus and Plasmodium spp. coinfection in red-legged partridges ( Alectoris rufa ), in southern Spain 2019

Published: January 2022

Flaviviruses West Nile (WNV), Usutu (USUV) and Bagaza (BAGV) virus and
avian malaria parasites are vector borne pathogens that circulate
naturally between avian and mosquito hosts. WNV and USUV and potentially
also BAGV constitute zoonoses. Temporal and spatial co-circulation and
co-infection with Plasmodium spp., and West Nile virus has been
documented in birds and mosquito vectors, and fatally USUV infected
passerines coinfected with Plasmodium spp. had more severe
lesions. Also, WNV, USUV and BAGV have been found to co-circulate. Yet
little is known about the interaction of BAGV and malaria parasites
during consecutive or co-infections of avian hosts. Here we report
mortality of free-living red-legged partridges in a hunting estate in
Southern Spain due to coinfection with BAGV and Plasmodium spp.
The outbreak occurred in the area where BAGV first emerged in Europe in
2010 and where co-circulation of BAGV, USUV and WNV was confirmed in
2011 and 2013. Partridges were found dead in early October 2019. Birds
had mottled locally pale pectoral muscles, enlarged, congestive
greenish-black tinged livers and enlarged kidneys. Microscopically
congestion and predominantly mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates were
evident and Plasmodium phanerozoites were present in the liver,
spleen, kidneys, muscle and skin. Molecular testing and sequencing
detected Plasmodium spp. and BAGV in different tissues of the
partridges, and immunohistochemistry confirmed the presence and
co-localization of both pathogens in the liver and spleen. Although
Plasmodium spp. are known to be highly prevalent in red-legged
partridges, this is the first account of mortality caused by
co-infection with BAGV and Plasmodium sp. Due to the importance
of the red-legged partridge in the ecosystem of the Iberian Peninsula
and as driver of regional economy such mortalities are of concern. Also,
they may reflect climate change related changes in host, vector and
pathogen ecology and interactions that could emerge similarly in other
pathogens.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Physical exercise adds benefits improving evolution
of the ischemic heart disease, enhancing individual functional capacity
and preventing ventricular remodeling. In this study we investigated the
impact of a program of physical training started after an uncomplicated
post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on the mechanics of left
ventricle (LV) contraction. METHODS: A total of 53 patients
were included, 27 of whom were randomized to a supervised training
program (TRAINING group), and 26 to a CONTROL group, who received usual
orientations for physical exercise after AMI. All patients underwent
cardiopulmonary stress testing and an echocardiogram with speckle
tracking technique to measure several parameters of LV contraction
mechanics at 1 month and 5 months after AMI. RESULTS: No
significant difference in the analysis of LV longitudinal, radial and
circumferential strain parameters between groups after the training
period was found. After the training program, analysis of torsional
mechanics demonstrated a reduction in the LV basal rotation of the
TRAINING group in comparison to the CONTROL group (TRAINING, -5.9±2.3 vs
CONTROL, -7.5±2.9 ; P=0.03), and in the basal
rotational velocity ​​( TRAINING, -53.6±18.4 vs CONTROL, -68.8±22.1 º/s;
P=0.01), twist velocity (TRAINING, 127.4±32.2 vs CONTROL,
149.9±35.9 vs º/s; P=0.02) and torsion (TRAINING, 2.4±0.4 vs
CONTROL, 2.8±0.8 vs º/cm; P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Physical
activity did not cause a significant improvement in LV longitudinal,
radial and circumferential deformation parameters. However, the exercise
had a significant impact on the LV torsional mechanics, composed
particularly of a reduction in basal rotation, twist velocity, torsion
and torsional velocity which can be interpreted as a ventricular
“torsion reserve” in this population.
Echoes of the hunt? An inter-continental comparison of patterns of growth and determinants of size of brown bears in Canada and Sweden.
Authors: Zedrosser Andreas , CAttet Marc , Swenson Jon , Stenhouse Gordon
Published: January 2022

Comparing life history traits among populations that have been separated
genetically for several hundred thousand years, but live in similar
habitats on different continents, may help us understand how ecological
and anthropomorphic factors shape life histories. We compared patterns
of growth in body length and mass, and the influence of population
density, habitat quality (NDVI), and reproduction on age-specific length
and mass of male and female brown bears between Alberta, Canada, and
Sweden. We found that Swedish females were significantly smaller in both
length and mass than Alberta females. Swedish females also reached
primiparity earlier and at a smaller mass and length. However, there
were no continental differences in the patterns of growth in males. We
found strong positive effects of NDVI, but only weak negative effects of
population density on female mass and length in both areas. Generally,
especially mass of Alberta females was more strongly affected by NDVI
and density than for Swedish females. Reproduction had stronger negative
effects on female mass in Alberta than in Sweden. We found no effects of
NDVI and population density on male mass and body length in both areas.
The larger variation in female growth and size between the areas, in
contrast to males, may be related to differences in female reproductive
investment due to differences in population trends, i.e., earlier
reproduction in increasing populations or populations below carrying
capacity, or to different selection pressures in the past, potentially
due to human persecution. Swedish females exhibited characteristics
typical of increasing populations, whereas Alberta females exhibited
characteristics typical of stable or decreasing populations. The
difference in reproduction investment means that Swedish bears can be
harvested at higher rates, whereas Alberta bears must be managed more
conservatively.
What Makes an Ethnographer? Institutionalized Teaching and Informal Learning of Anthropology in Romania
Authors: Iorga Alexandru
Published: January 2022

The processes of disciplinary institutionalization emerged from practices of preserving written and oral documents, establishing local and national museums, and developing university courses. In the last 100 years, archives’ development assured the professionalization of scholars interested in disciplines unrepresented at the university level, such as ethnography and anthropology. After the 1990s, as the South-Eastern European countries could not imagine an alternative path of development, a westernization process emerged as the main strategy for catching-up with Western Europe.

My paper discusses the institutionalized anthropological and ethnographic research agenda in Romania, questioning its relationships with other social sciences in the context of national development of ethnography as a distinct branch (e.g., from anthropology). Secondly, I argue that institutionalized ethnographic and anthropological practice in Romania during communism significantly lacked reflective assessments and development of a theoretical corpus.
Toward a Pedagogy for Consumer Anthropology: Method, Theory, Marketing
Authors: Morais Robert J.
Published: January 2022

This paper focuses on teaching the application of anthropology in business to marketing students. It begins with the premise that consumer marketers have long used ethnography as a component of their qualitative market research toolkit to inform their knowledge about and empathy for consumers. A question for market research educators who include ethnography in their curricula is if and how to teach the richness of anthropologically based approaches, especially given a decoupling of ethnographic method from anthropological theory in much consumer research practice. This discussion might also resonate with anthropology educators who are interested in the ways anthropology is applied in commercial settings. As a demonstration of a teaching mode rather than a research report, this paper describes how a consumer anthropology market research project is used experientially in the classroom to help marketing students learn and appreciate the application of both anthropological method and theory for brand-building. Included is a summary of an ethnographic project on Duncan Hines cake mix and an in-class student exercise during which three conceptual ‘jumping off’ points from anthropological theory were used to generate marketing initiatives.
Demographic and economic aspects of urban shrinkage in Serbia - typology and regional differentiation
Authors: Djurkin Danica , Antic Marija , Budovic Aljosa
Published: January 2022

Urban shrinkage is a process that many European countries have been facing in
recent decades. It had started in highly developed regions at the time of
deindustrialisation, but since the 1990s, this process has also affected
Central, Eastern and South-eastern Europe, with different patterns and
dynamics of urban shrinkage. The political and economic crisis in Serbia
during the 1990s, as well as the transition from a centrally governed and
urban-based industrialisation to a neoliberal market economy, has brought
significant changes in the development of cities, which faced declining
demographic and economic vitality. This paper is focused on the analysis of
the intensity and dynamics of demographic and economic aspects of urban
shrinkage in Serbia and on classification of cities according to the
different phases of urban shrinkage. Typological classification was
performed using the K-means clustering algorithm. The cluster analysis is
based on the use of relevant demographic and socio-economic indicators, for
the period from 2002 to 2011. After identifying cities that recorded an
increase in total population and relatively stable economic development,
three types of shrinking cities were determined according to the intensity
of demographic and economic shrinkage - cities with low, medium and high
shrinkage intensity. The analysis of the main patterns and factors that
influenced the different levels of urban shrinkage enabled a better
understanding of this phenomenon in Serbia. The results indicate the
heterogeneity of urban space due to different levels of demographic and
economic shrinkage, thus it can serve as a starting point for future
research of uneven urban development in Serbia.
Animal remains from the Late Medieval kitchen of the Esztergom archdiocese, Hungary - the benefits of screening
Authors: Gál Erika , Bartosiewicz László
Published: January 2022

Medieval animal remains from the Esztergom archbishopric (Hungary) were
screened using 5 mm and 2 mm mesh sizes, aimed at the high-resolution study
of fish and bird remains and helping to achieve better comparisons with
documentary sources. This is the first medieval assemblage in Hungary
recovered using screening. A total of 7,294 animal remains are studied here,
representing the 14th and 15th century. The screening resulted in quantities
of fish and bird bones. The large find numbers also multiplied the taxonomic
diversity. In addition to the remains of new, small-bodied species, bones of
young fish showed a diachronic increase in the contribution of carp and
young pike to the diet. This seems consonant with the expansion of medieval
fish farming. Remains of juvenile birds could also be identified. Some
worked bones recovered by screening indicate the manufacturing or reparation
of crossbows at the site. Thanks to these details, our material stands out
among other contemporaneous animal bone assemblages from the Carpathian
Basin. Comparisons between sites, however, must be done with caution, as our
data are qualitatively different from others. Large bones of livestock and
the near absence of those from large game may be interpreted in the light of
other hand-collected samples, while fish and bird remains and even the
abundance of brown hare need to be seen in part as a product of
high-resolution recovery. The newly discovered spectrum of animal remains
could be profitably interpreted in the light of late 15th century accounting
books of the archbishop. Although these documentary sources slightly
post-date our material, they shed light on the complexities of meat
procurement between possibly local production and trade.

Esta investigación evaluó el efecto de la poda de macrófitas sobre microorganismos adheridos al medio de soporte y la remoción de DBO5 en tres humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial (HAFS) experimentales con especies de Phragmites australis (HAFS-Carrizo), Pontederia sagittata (HAFS-Tule) y grava como testigo (HAFS-Grava). Se utilizaron nueve unidades (con réplicas). Los HAFS con 1.2 m de ancho, 2.5 m de largo y 0.5 m de profundidad se alimentaron con 200 L/d agua residual doméstica. Las variables estudiadas al medio de soporte fueron microorganismos adheridos, porosidad, densidad, diámetro y humedad para estimar el tiempo de retención y conductividad hidráulica. En las especies se midieron las variables de productividad después de la poda y se estimó la remoción y el coeficiente cinético de degradación k para la DBO5. El experimento fue un diseño de un factor (tratamiento) con tres niveles (HAFS-Tule, HAFS-Carrizo y HAFS-Grava); se evaluaron durante tres meses, después del año de operación. Los tratamientos se evaluaron mediante Anova (paramétricos) y la prueba de rangos de Kruskal-Wallis (no paramétricos) entre grupos antes y después de podar (p < 0.05). La grava presentó en promedio (N = 12) 22.92 ± 1.47 % de humedad, 2.32 ± 0.15 cm de diámetro, densidad de partícula 2.71 ± 0.10 gr/cm3 y porosidad de 36.52 ± 3.36 %, el TRH fue de 3.1 días en todos los tratamientos. El mejor tratamiento fue HAFS-Tule: antes de la poda la biomasa de microorganismos presentó valores medianos (N = 12) de 42931.6 mg/kg (Q1 = 40259.7; Q3 = 54478.4) y posterior a la poda de 33444.6 mg/kg (Q1 = 31210.9; Q3 = 36581.8), la biomasa vegetal retirada en la poda fue de 40.85 ± 2.58 kg, se removió 95.44 % de DBO5 con una k = 1.004 días-1 (27.6 °C), lo que permite cumplir la NOM-001-Semarnat-1996.

Published: January 2022

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes important for innate and adaptive immune responses. NF-κB overactivation is associated with inflammatory diseases such as autoimmune, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aims to screen the chemical content of C.indicum against NF-κB-inducing kinase inhibitors. There are two methods used in this study, namely through PASSonline and docking. The docking method used was PLANTS. The results of PASSonline compounds that have P.a values above 0.7 weree arachidonic acid, linoleic acid, rutin, methyl urasolate, while the docking scores obtained were asquisqualic acid: -60.0382; arachidonic acid : -100,9410; linoleic acid: -93.8730; routine : -102,9320; methyl urasolate: -47,9166. This negative docking score indicates that the reaction between the compound and the target occurs easily. In conclusion, the compound predicted to have a potential as an inhibitor of NF-κB is Rutin.

Authors: Oktaviyana Elisa Tri , Utami Wahyu
Published: January 2022

Cisplatin is one of chemotherapy agent for long cancer, ovarium cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, head-neck cancer. However, in the fact, the role of cisplatin does not always provide an optimal effect because it often appears cancer cell resistance phenomenon to cisplatin. This resistance condition occurs partly due to the inactive metabolite cause of conjugation reaction between cisplatin and GSH in cancer cells. Therefore, gluthathione (GSH) has an important role in controlling cisplatin resistance. This study aims to analyze some combination of cisplatin and the depletion agent of gluthathione (GSH) as a support for cisplatin activity in several types of cancer cells within in vitro scope. This study is prepared using systematic literature review method. Library search were carried out on two accredited international journals databases, namely PubMed and Science Direct with interval years of publication in 2011-2020. From 10 selected journals, it was shown that the use of GSH depletion agents could enhance the cytotoxic effect of cisplatin. This was analyzed based on data of the number measured GSH cells and the number of living cells (% cell viability) which gave a significant decrease. The result of research are expected to be able to provide information for the development of therapeutic agents on cisplatin as chemotherapy.

Published: January 2022

This research studies whether there is a significant relationship between the multiple intelligences of pre-service elementary teachers, their gender, and their performances. The survey method has been used for this study. A “Multiple Intelligence Profiling Questionnaire III (MIPQ-III)” was used to collect the multiple intelligences of the participants. Reliability-test has been used to see the consistency of the questionnaire. In order to analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and Pearson correlation were used for this study. Results showed that naturalistic intelligence has the highest mean score. Meanwhile, logical-mathematics intelligence has the lowest mean score. Results also showed that logical-mathematic, verbal-linguistic, spatial, bodily-kinesthetics, and interpersonal intelligence have differences based on gender, while other intelligence has no differences. Furthermore, results also show that all intelligence, excluding naturalistic, positively correlates with the performances. Lastly, hierarchical regression shows that among the multiple intelligences, the logical-mathematics intelligence becomes a predictor for the performance of the pre-service elementary teachers. The implications of this study, such as the results, show a relationship between multiple intelligence and elementary school pre-service teachers. Besides that, it is found that the multiple intelligence of elementary pre-service teachers has a wide variety of impacts on the performance of those pre-service teachers in the future. Thus, it is expected that relevant stakeholders can better review these aspects, especially in the curriculum

Rice husk has been converted into activated carbon for the adsorbent to remove the heavy metal from the aqueous solution. This study aimed to convert rice husk to activated carbon (AC) for use in the adsorption of Fe ions in a fixed-bed column. Rice husk was first pyrolyzed in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas at 400 oC, then a chemical activation method using sodium hydroxide. The rice husk activated carbon (RH-AC) was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) to identify the functional group and microstructure of carbon. The performance of the carbon was tested on the Fe removal from an aqueous solution in a continuous column. The adsorption process was carried out using Fe solution with an initial concentration of 3 mg/L as an artificial sample. The amount of carbon is 25, and 50 g were filled in an adsorber column with a diameter of 5.4 cm and height of 40 cm. SEM images revealed that the activated carbons shown with well-developed pore sizes and pore structure were produced after the chemical activation.  The FTIR absorption bands observed in the RH-AC sample confirmed the presence of hydroxyl (-OH), carbonyl, and carboxylic (-COOH) groups of RH-AC adsorbent. The highest Fe removal efficiencies were 91.9% on chemically activated carbon and column mass 50 g at 400 minutes. The overall study revealed the potential value of chemically activated RH-AC as a possible commercial adsorbent in a continuous column wastewater treatment strategy.

Air Tawar Barat Village is included in the High-Risk Zone (area with a high level of vulnerability to tsunamis) in Padang City, so very severe damage likely occurs in the event of a tsunami. The characteristics of the tsunami in Padang City are local tsunamis or short-range tsunamis, where the time interval for tsunami arrivals is between 20-30 minutes. Based on these conditions, a tsunami evacuation route is urgently needed by the community. The current evacuation route is still ineffective because the distance that must be covered is 3-5 km in less than 30 minutes. This study aims to evaluate the evacuation routes that are less effective by comparing the evacuation routes from the government with the results of GIS analysis. The method used in this research is Network Analyst. The results of this study found that the time needed to evacuate was 10 minutes by going to 26 P-TES. Where 24 P-TES are located on the UNP campus, 1 is in the Air Tawar Timur Village and 1 is a planned P-TES. The evacuation route generated from the results of the GIS analysis is more effective than the route from the government because the route to P-TES is closer than having to leave the tsunami zone so that it is more likely to be taken by the community.

Zakat As An Alternative Revenue and Financing Resources for The State
Authors: Fathonih Ahmad
Published: January 2022

Zakat is one of the religious obligations that have social, economic, political, and legal dimensions. The obligation has been effectively practiced by Muslims since the 7th century during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. The amount of zakat in Indonesia is very potential, reaching 217 trillion rupiahs, which can be used to solve the problem of poverty and socio-economic imbalances. Unfortunately, up to now the potential of zakat has not been able to reduce poverty and improve social welfare. The Zakat Management Act Number 23 of 2011 and Number 14 of 2014 concerning the Implementation of the Zakat Management Law only regulates the management of zakat under the supervision of the government. The government can manage zakat productively as a source of state income (non-tax state income) and state funding sources (State Sukuk or State Sharia Securities). This study finds that the difficulties faced by the Indonesian government to manage zakat funds productively are mostly related to people’s understanding of zakat as a religious obligation and not as a state obligation. Besides, zakat is mostly used for consumptive and unproductive purposes only.
The Settlement of Domestic Violence Cases (KDRT) Based On Islamic Values and Local Wisdom
Authors: Ismayawati Any , Sa'diyah Zaimatus
Published: January 2022

This research explores the conflict resolution of domestic violence (KDRT) cases based on Islamic values and local wisdom. The aim is to find alternatives to solving legal problems without having to go through legal channels (litigation). Although the Government has passed Law No. 23/2004 aimed at suppressing cases of domestic violence, in reality, the regulation is still not effective in overcoming the problem. It is proven that such cases still appear in public spaces and stick out like an iceberg. Allegedly, the main factor causing the difficulties was due to the kinship between the victim and the perpetrator. After examining the methodology for resolving conflicts based on Islamic values "al-sulh" and the method of "Musyawarah" based on local wisdom, this research finds out the fact that the above-two alternative solutions have several advantages compared to resolve through legal channels. Therefore, these two models of resolution can be used as alternatives for resolving conflicts in the household, especially those accompanied by violence.

This article examines the role and function of Nazhir (guardian of endowment) in the empowerment of waqf objects in the Legal District of Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The aim is to increase Nazir's professionalism in increasing the productivity of waqf assets to be able to provide maximum benefits to the general public (ummah) in a sustainable manner. In Bogor district, there are waqf assets in the form of land totaling 5,686 locations within land areas of 4,433,860 M2. With such a large number of waqf assets, if managed professionally, the waqf will certainly be able to bring the sustainability of the Ummah economy, especially the sustainability of education for the younger generation. However, as this study found, only a few Nazhirs in the Bogor Regency area who have begun to develop productive waqf assets. The majority of Nazirs still use the old pattern which is not conducive to the development of the productivity of waqf property. Therefore it is necessary to optimize the role and function of Nazhir through continuous coaching by the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI). In the form of (1) meetings in the context of coaching, (2) training activities, and (3) socialization related to the latest regulations regarding the management of waqf objects.
