Inclusive classroom – teaching multicultural groups of students – an intercultural project with students from 13 countries
Authors: Wilinkiewicz-Górniak Lucyna
Published: March 2019

Educating multicultural groups is not easy as a teacher has to deal with students from different cultural backgrounds in limited space and time. Still, it is feasible, provided that we are able to create a positive and trusting classroom environment in which all students are made to feel valued, respected and welcome. The one that combats stereotypes and prejudices allows multiple perspectives and ways of thinking and helps students develop a positive self-image. In such a classroom students can develop not only knowledge and skills, but also multicultural awareness, if only they are willing to coexist and cooperate with each other as well as accept and appreciate their varied backgrounds. Some points that I found to be the keys to success in my applied research are: culturally responsive teaching and differentiated instruction taking into account not only cultural diversity but also different learning styles andpreferences. Apart from their flexibility in the area of methodology, a teacher should use a multisensory approach to appeal to different learning styles.

Numerical Modelling of Fish Passage with Turning Pools
Authors: Maniecki Łukasz
Published: March 2019

An assessment of operating conditions in a baffled fish passage with pool dimensions of 2.2 × 3.0 m, and 180° horizontally turning pools, was carried out using numerical computations and a site survey of water flow velocity distribution. Velocity was measured with a PMS electromagnetic flowmeter and a hydrometric current meter in representative cross-sections of the fish passage in the pool centres and in the baffle barrier cross-section area. Numerical computations were also performed for two alternative baffle locations in the fishway. One reflected the actual conditions, and the other was an alternative arrangement designed to improve hydraulic conditions for fish migration. The numerical model used the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method, which makes it possible to detect large vortexes. The study pays close attention to the velocity field analysis as well as the distribution and sizes of vortexes in the turning pool of the culvert. The results of numerical computations and the site survey show high consistency, and the proposed baffle placement modification significantly improves flow conditions, especially in the entry section of the passage.
Local Wave Energy Dissipation and Morphological Beach Characteristics along a Northernmost Segment of the Polish Coast
Authors: Różyński Grzegorz
Published: March 2019

This paper analyses cross-shore bathymetric profiles between Władysławowo (km 125 of the Polish coastal chainage) and Lake Sarbsko (km 174) done in 2005 and 2011. Spaced every 500 m, they cover beach topography from dune/cliff crests to a seabed depth of about 15 m. They were decomposed by signal processing techniques to extract the monotonic component of beach topography and to perform a straightforward assessment of wave energy dissipation rates. Three characteristic dissipation patterns were identified: one associated with large nearshore bars and 2–3 zones of wave breaking; a second, to which the equilibrium beach profile concept can be applied; and a third, characterized by mixed behaviour. An attempt was then made to interpret these types of wave energy dissipation in terms of local coastal morphological features and the underlying sedimentary characteristics.

Authors: Szmytkiewicz Marek , Szmytkiewicz Piotr , Marcinkowski Tomasz
Published: March 2019

The objective of this study is to determine differences between design wave heights determined on the basis of short- and long-term wave trains. Wave parameters measured over a period of 7.47 years in the vicinity of Coastal Research Station Lubiatowo were used as short-term wave data, while wave parameters determined through the so-called wave reconstruction for a period of 44 years for the same region and depth were used as long-term wave data. The results of the calculations lead to the conclusions the significant wave height distributions obtained for short and long-term wave data are similar.

Published: March 2019

The pits on parenchyma cell walls facilitate transfer of liquids between adjacent cells in the bamboo. To better understand the structure-function relationship of the pits, the structural characteristics of the pits in bamboo parenchyma cells need to be investigated. In this study, the pit structures were studied by field-emission environmental scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The samples included the native structure and the replica structure via resin castings. The results showed that the parenchyma cells possessed various shapes and the pits were diverse. Parenchyma cells exposed both simple and bordered pits. Pitting between vascular parenchyma cells (VPCs) was similar to that of the metaxylem vessel. In particular, a branched pit structure was found for the first time in the parenchyma cell.
A Hybrid of Deep CNN and Bidirectional LSTM for Automatic Speech Recognition
Authors: Passricha Vishal , Aggarwal Rajesh Kumar
Published: March 2019

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been playing a significant role in acoustic modeling. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the advanced version of DNNs that achieve 4–12% relative gain in the word error rate (WER) over DNNs. Existence of spectral variations and local correlations in speech signal makes CNNs more capable of speech recognition. Recently, it has been demonstrated that bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) produces higher recognition rate in acoustic modeling because they are adequate to reinforce higher-level representations of acoustic data. Spatial and temporal properties of the speech signal are essential for high recognition rate, so the concept of combining two different networks came into mind. In this paper, a hybrid architecture of CNN-BLSTM is proposed to appropriately use these properties and to improve the continuous speech recognition task. Further, we explore different methods like weight sharing, the appropriate number of hidden units, and ideal pooling strategy for CNN to achieve a high recognition rate. Specifically, the focus is also on how many BLSTM layers are effective. This paper also attempts to overcome another shortcoming of CNN, i.e. speaker-adapted features, which are not possible to be directly modeled in CNN. Next, various non-linearities with or without dropout are analyzed for speech tasks. Experiments indicate that proposed hybrid architecture with speaker-adapted features and maxout non-linearity with dropout idea shows 5.8% and 10% relative decrease in WER over the CNN and DNN systems, respectively.
Grammatical choices of ditransitive patterns in academic articles
Authors: Choura Sabiha
Published: March 2019

Texts are products of systemic functional choices determined by contextual factors . To analyze how the context affects writers’ lexico-grammatical choices, this paper attempts to study ditransitive patterns in the research article genre across medical science and sociology, a choice explained by the gap in the literature of genre analysis of ditransitivity. To this end, ditransitive patterns are quantified in a corpus of 245 academic articles from medical science and sociology published in 2011. The analysis shows that the object–prepositional object pattern dominates both disciplines, which can be explained by its being a compactness device enabling writers to observe the communicative functions of the research article genre. Across the two disciplines, the higher frequency of clausal patterns in sociology than medical science reveals the explicitness and persuasiveness of writers in sociology, which may be attributed to the different research methods, and the nature of knowledge accumulation in each discipline. These findings lead to the conclusion that the choices of ditransitive patterns are determined by the generic features of the research article genre and disciplinary specificities, though they are also influenced by the different research topics across disciplines and the category-selectional properties of ditransitives.

Authors: Sudarsono Joko , Rahardjo Setyo Sri , Kisrini Kisrini
Published: March 2019

The use of the pesticide which does not follow the procedure may potentially cause residue of pesticide to be left on vegetables and fruits sold in supermarkets and traditional markets. We aimed to find the pattern of pesticide usage and levels of residue found in plants. This study was an analytical observation with a cross-sectional design using detailed sampling procedure. We obtained the data of the pesticide residue concentration by conducting laboratory examinations on eight samples of cabbage and eight samples of tomatoes from traditional markets and supermarkets in the city of Solo. The data were tested using simple linear regression testing. The organophosphate measurement results showed no residues were detected, because it was below the Limit of Detection (LOD). We concluded that pesticides containing active substances were not used in the vegetables we tested or the active substances were no longer contained in the vegetables after harvesting.

Community Behavior and the Exposure of River in Yogyakarta from Feses Coli Bacteria
Authors: Jaya Pajar Hatma Indra , Sriharini Sriharini
Published: March 2019

This study started from data of Riskesdas of the Ministry of Health which regards Special Region of Yogyakarta as a region with a good habit of defecating. However, according to a research conducted by the Environment Agency in Yogyakarta, all rivers in this region contain faecal colibacteria far above the threshold. This study aims to explain the factors that led to contamination of rivers by faecal colibacteria in Yogyakarta. The researcher conducted observation in the rivers in Yogyakarta and interviewed some people who lived near the rivers regarding their habit and knowledge about the rivers’ condition. This study concluded that the habit of defecating in rivers is rarely found in Yogyakarta and such habit will diminish naturally. However, there are some behaviors which give similar effects as defecating in rivers.  The society does not know that such behaviors could lead to the presence of faecal colibacteria. More importantly, although the rivers in Yogyakarta contain faecal colibacteria which UNICEF considers as harmful, the society does not confirm that such condition is harmful. This way, such unhealthy behavior of the society still exists.
Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state in an adolescent with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Watanabe Suguru , Kido Jun , Ogata Mika , Nakamura Kimitoshi , Mizukami Tomoyuki
Published: March 2019

Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are the most severe acute complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). HHS is characterized by severe hyperglycemia and hyperosmolality without significant ketosis and acidosis. A 14-year-old Japanese boy presented at the emergency room with lethargy, polyuria and polydipsia. He belonged to a baseball club team and habitually drank sugar-rich beverages daily. Three weeks earlier, he suffered from lassitude and developed polyuria and polydipsia 1 week later. He had been drinking more sugar-rich isotonic sports drinks (approximately 1000–1500 mL/day) than usual (approximately 500 mL/day). He presented with HHS (hyperglycemia (1010 mg/dL, HbA1c 12.3%) and mild hyperosmolality (313 mOsm/kg)) without acidosis (pH 7.360), severe ketosis (589 μmol/L) and ketonuria. He presented HHS in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with elevated glutamate decarboxylase antibody and islet antigen 2 antibody. Consuming beverages with high sugar concentrations caused hyperglycemia and further exacerbates thirst, resulting in further beverage consumption. Although he recovered from HHS following intensive transfusion and insulin treatment, he was significantly sensitive to insulin therapy. Even the appropriate amount of insulin may result in dramatically decreasing blood sugar levels in patients with T1DM. We should therefore suspect T1DM in patients with HHS but not those with obesity. Moreover, age, clinical history and body type are helpful for identifying T1DM and HHS. Specifically, drinking an excess of beverages rich in sugars represents a risk of HHS in juvenile/adolescent T1DM patients.

Learning points:

Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) is characterized by severe hyperglycemia and hyperosmolality without significant ketosis and acidosis.

The discrimination between HHS of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in initial presentation is difficult.

Pediatrician should suspect T1DM in patients with HHS but not obesity.

Age, clinical history and body type are helpful for identifying T1DM and HHS.

Children with T1DM are very sensitive to insulin treatment, and even appropriate amount of insulin may result in dramatically decreasing blood sugar levels.
Desarraigo del ojo: evolución del espectador como turista de la imagen en el siglo XIX
Authors: Luri-Rodríguez Javier
Published: March 2019

La actual relación del espectador con las imágenes se asienta en hábitos relacionados con el viaje de ocio. Este componente turístico de la imagen recreativa se empieza a manifestar con claridad a lo largo del siglo XIX, cuando el viaje comienza a popularizarse como divertimento. La gran variedad de espectáculos visuales desarrollados en este siglo tiene en común una inclinación a desconectar el espectador de su entorno para hacer que se sienta transportado. Atracciones decimonónicas como los panoramas o los dioramas, reflejan esta característica de la imagen como medio de transporte virtual; una peculiaridad propia también del actual ecosistema visual, como se hace especialmente patente en la imagen esférica y la realidad virtual.
Representación plástica y escrita de Aranjuez (España) en el manuscrito de Hieronimus Gundlach Nova Hispaniae Regnorum Descriptio (1606): la idealización de un real sitio
Authors: Merlos Romero Magdalena
Published: March 2019

El presente artículo ejemplifica el proceso de idealización del Real Sitio de Aranjuez durante el Renacimiento con base en el manuscrito Nova Hispaniae Regnorum Descriptio (Biblioteca Nacional de Austria), obra de 1606 del médico alemán Hieronimus Gundlach (1575-1608) en el que relata su viaje por España y Portugal entre 1598 y 1599.Por una parte se establece el grado de correspondencia entre la imagen plástica del lugar y la descripción que la acompaña en el libro; por otra se analiza el grado de autenticidad de ambas écfrasis respecto de la identidad física del enclave.El estudio asimismo aborda una comparación de esta imagen de Aranjuez con el tratamiento visual y escrito que el manuscrito ofrece de otras sedes de la Corona española: el Palacio Real de Madrid, El Escorial y El Pardo.
Tracerías olvidadas: el claustro gótico de Santa María de Sasamón
Authors: Tuimil Fernández Cristina
Published: March 2019

Tradicionalmente, el claustro de la ex-colegiata burgalesa de Santa María de Sasamón ha sido datado entre finales del siglo XV y principios del XVI y adscrito a la autoría de Juan de Colonia por los escasos autores que le han dedicado atención. A lo largo de estas páginas se intentará demostrar que este recinto fue comenzado muchos años antes de la llegada del arquitecto alemán a la Península y que su apariencia actual se debe, en realidad, a dos campañas constructivas distintas en estilo y distantes en el tiempo. Con ello se pretende recuperar para la Historia del arte medieval hispano un claustro del más puro gótico radiante.
Canción triste de San Vicente de Frías
Authors: Garzón Fernández Marina Aurora
Published: March 2019

La portada esculpida de la iglesia de San Vicente de Frías (Burgos)(s. XIII) fue destruida en 1906 al derrumbarse su torre. Los fragmentos rescatados se encuentran hoy en el Museo de los Claustros de Nueva York donde fueron instalados en 1932 siguiendo una reconstrucción hipotética de la portada original. Para recuperar este conjunto olvidado por la historiografía del arte hispana el presente artículo ofrece un análisis histórico-artístico de la iglesia y sus esculturas así como del proceso de traslado y reconstrucción de la portada. En suma se propone retrasar la datación actual de la iglesia hasta mediados del siglo XIII, se describen los talleres que participaron en la obra con sus posibles filiaciones y se identifican los principales temas del programa destacando un ciclo desconocido de la vida de San Millán.

Published: March 2019

The processes of lead and cadmium ions sorption by modified zeolite of Chankanai deposit were studied. Chitosan was used as a surface modifier due to its properties: nontoxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility. The adsorption process was carried out at room temperature (295 K) and pH 7 under static conditions. The synthesized sorbent has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis; the concentrations of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions before and after adsorption were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The Si/Al ratio of the zeolite was found to be 1.66, which showed the prospects of using this material as a source object. The static exchange capacity (SEC) of sorbents and the extraction degree of heavy metal ions were determined and compared. It was found that the removal of heavy metal ions increased with the increase of contact time (removal efficiency was 99.1±1.2% for Pb2+ and 83.4±1.2% for Cd2+). The adsorption capacity values of the modified zeolite for metal ions were (0.86±0.03) mg/g for Cd(II) and (0.68±0.03) mg/g for Pb(II). Chitosan-modified zeolite proved to be an effective adsorbent for removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solutions.

Стаття присвячена сучасному напряму в освіті – актуальному питанню впровадження STEM-технологій у процес професійної підготовки майбутніх учителів початкової школи у закладах вищої освіти. Здійснено короткий огляд нормативно-правових документів, які спрямовані на активне впровадження STEM-технологій та STEM- освіти в Україні. Розглядаються сучасні різновиди акроніму STEM, які існують на сьогодні в світі. Окреслено питання підготовки майбутніх учителів, діяльність яких не обмежується викладанням окремого предмету, а фахівців, які виявляють здатність до реалізації міждисциплінарних зв’язків. Проведено пілотне опитування серед студентів напряму підготовки “Початкова освіта” щодо їхнього ставлення до окресленої проблематики. За його результатами констатовано переважання більшістю майбутніх учителів початкових класів та вчителів щодо необхідності освітніх змін, які стосуються впровадження наскрізного STEM – навчання для того, щоб оволодіти вміннями у застосуванні інноваційних ігрових технології, технологій case-study, інтерактивних методів групового навчання; використання проблемних методик із розвитку критичного і креативного мислення тощо; створення розгалуженої системи пошуку, підтримки, навчання і супроводу талановитих студентів; створення середовища для самоосвіти та саморозвитку; залучення студентів до роботи в науково-дослідних лабораторіях у закладах вищої освіти для здобуття результативного індивідуального досвіду проектної діяльності з метою розроблення власних SMART- проектів для інтегрованих уроків природничо-математичного циклу, англійської мови і мистецтва, читання тощо. Створення таких проектів студентами буде корисним для використання під час проходження практики в закладах освіти, що є на часі, оскільки реалізацією Концепції “Нова українська школа” вчитель початкових класів повинен володіти технологією роботи з LEGO-конструктором і навчати цьому учнів, а також використовувати гейміфікацію – використання ігрових практик та механізмів у неігровому контексті для залучення користувачів до вирішення проблем.

Authors: Prometnoi D. V. , Aleksandrovich Yu. S. , Pshenisnov K. V.
Published: March 2019

Infusion therapy is the main element of treatment of critical illness; at that, it is critical not only to eliminate hypovolemia, but also to prevent fluid overload. The purpose of the study was to identify predictors of a lethal outcome due to the peculiarities of infusion therapy and fluid balance in critically-ill children. Materials and methods. The study included 96 children admitted to the pediatric ICU. The average age of the children was 0.7 (0.2–2) years. Depending on the outcome, all patients were divided into two groups: I — «Recovery», II — «Lethal outcome». The daily volume of administered fluid, the volume of infusion therapy, the volume of pathological losses and fluid balance were estimated. Results. On the first day of therapy, parameters related to the volume of administered fluid were main factors that increased the probability of a lethal outcome; then mortality was associated with parameters related to the volume of discharged fluid. The volume of discharged fluid less than 20% of the administered volume increased the risk of a lethal outcome by 12-fold; the increase in the volume of fluid loss to 80% of the administered one contributed to a significant reduction in the risk of children's death. Conclusion. Positive fluid balance due to reduced volume of the discharged liquid is a major risk factor of a lethal outcome in children.

Introduction. From the variety of direct restorative dental materials, composite resins are considered as having the most esthetic and functional properties. The conservative preparation, esthetic results, good mechanical qualities and surface finishing properties of dental composites, combined with the protective properties of fluoride from glass-ionomers, led to a new generation of dental materials: the giomers.

Objective. The purpose is to review the available literature about the giomers, regarding the chemical composition, handling properties and esthetics, adhesion and microleakage, fluoride releasing and protection offered, clinical indications.

Method. The search was carried out using ScienceDirect and PubMed databases with the following keywords: giomer, esthetic properties giomers and fluoride releasing giomers. A total of 232 articles were initially selected, with the following inclusion criteria: full text articles, written in English, with topics on the properties and the clinical implications of giomers. Papers presented as abstract were not included.  In the next step, review articles, duplicates, and articles in other languages were removed; as a result, a total of 44 sources published between 2004 and 2017 were selected.

Results. The selected articles referred to the following aspects about the giomers: chemical composition (8 articles), adhesion and microleakage (10 articles), fluoride releasing and pulp protection (15 articles), clinical indications (6 articles), effects of additional treatments and dietary habits (11 articles).

Introduction:. Patients with Down syndrome (DS) have an increased risk of developing autoimmune diseases. This is a rare case of a pediatric patient with DS with an initial clinical profile of diabetic ketoacidosis.Case presentation:. 6-year-old male patient with symptoms suggestive of diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) of 15 days of evolution (polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and loss of 2 kilos of weight), who was admitted to the emergency department of the Hospital de San José, in Bogotá, Colombia, with uncontrollable vomiting and dehydration. The tests performed confirmed moderate ketoacidosis: glycometry: 592 mg/dL, pH: 7.19, HCO3: 10 mmol/L, PCO2: 45, PO2: 95 and lactic acid: 1.4 mmol/L. Management with isotonic fluids and intravenous insulin therapy was initiated and the patient was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit, where ketoacidosis was controlled in approximately 10 hours. Subcutaneous insulin schedule was initiated without complications.Discussion:. This case highlights the importance of monitoring possible autoimmune complications in patients with DS, since the risk of developing them is 4.2 times higher than in the general population.Conclusion:. This case calls on to contemplate autoimmune complications in patients with DS during clinical practice. Although they are not part of the most frequent reasons for consultation, they cannot be underestimated and should be suspected and treated in a timely manner.
Clasificación por capitales de una muestra de microempresarios del Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga a partir del Análisis de Correspondencia Múltiple
Authors: Rangel Quiñonez Henry Sebastián , Yáñez Canal Gabriel
Published: March 2019

Los resultados presentados en este artículo son una caracterización a partir de los capitales de salud, educativo, social, físico y financiero de una muestra de microempresarios del Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga (AMB) en 2012. Para lograr una robusta caracterización se utilizó el Análisis de Correspondencias Múltiple (ACM), el cual permitió observar la relación existente entre las categorías de las diferentes dimensiones y los distintos niveles de beneficios. Las asociaciones observadas permitieron clasificar a los microempresarios en tres grupos de acuerdo con  sus utilidades y a características específicas de los capitales considerados. Se destaca el hecho de que en los microempresarios analizados el factor más importante en el éxito del negocio es el capital humano. Además, el uso del ACM permitió clasificar en el nivel “bajos beneficios” a los microempresarios que se negaron a proporcionar información acerca de sus beneficios y nivel de endeudamiento, a partir de las respuestas proporcionadas en las otras dimensiones.
La confrontación entre dos modelos societarios y económicos en Argentina 2003-2017
Authors: Pierbattisti Damian , Pierbattisti Damián
Published: March 2019

Tras la profunda crisis económica, social y política que atravesó la Argentina en diciembre de 2001, se sucedieron una serie de gobiernos que, a tono con la etapa que se abrió en Sudamérica a inicios del presente siglo, cristalizaron la reemergencia del pensamiento nacional-popular. El período que abarca el ciclo político que se extiende entre 2003 y 2015 estuvo signado por el despliegue de una racionalidad política y económica claramente opuesta al neoliberalismo. Sin embargo, en octubre de 2015, por primera vez en la historia argentina, una coalición de derecha accedió al Poder Ejecutivo por medio de elecciones democráticas y libres de toda proscripción. En el presente artículo se analizan las principales medidas adoptadas desde 2003 a la fecha, que configuran el enfrentamiento entre dos racionalidades políticas y económicas que guían la traducción de sendos modelos societarios, los que encuentran en el ejercicio del gobierno del Estado el centro de gravedad de tal confrontación.

Abstract:

Introduction: Both primary and metastatic cases of mucosal melanoma in urogenital localization are rare tumors. Only 4–5% of all primary melanomas do not arise from the skin. Extracutaneous melanomas have a complex clinical presentation, but these aggressive tumors have a poor prognosis. Materials and method: In our department, we found 7 patients with malignant melanoma of the genitourinary tract in the past few years. The 7 cases were: primary amelanotic melanoma of the female urethra, a primary melanoma of the bladder, two primary melanomas of the penis, a metastatic melanoma of the urethra and another to the testis and a metastatic melanoma of the bladder with melanuria. We retrospectively analyzed the available data to describe the presentation, management, and clinical outcome of the patients. Results: In the three inoperative cases, palliative, urologic surgical procedures and systemic antitumor therapy were performed. Two of the four primary urogenital tumors were localized to the penis. In one case, local recurrence developed after surgical treatment, but with a radical, repeated surgery, the patient has been asymptomatic for a year and a half. In the other, neglected case, the penis melanoma spread through the urethra and the inguinal lymph nodes two years after radical surgery and inguinal block dissection. In the female primary urethral melanoma case, the first histological study reported a primary mesenchymal tumor, and the recurrent tumor that occurred one and a half years later showed melanoma diagnosis. Radical surgery performed because of urethral involvement resulted in a 5-year asymptomatic state, followed by local recurrence and distant metastasis. In the fourth case of a primary bladder melanoma, the rapid progression of the disease and the BRAF positivity of the tumor suggested that not the firstly diagnosed bladder melanoma was the primary tumor. Conclusion: The occurrence of urinary tract melanoma is very rare and its discovery happens often in a disseminated state, so the expected prognosis of the cases is also poor. The most important factors for increasing therapeutic efficacy are early diagnosis and radical surgical intervention.

REINTERPRETASI KONSEP BID'AH DAN FLEKSIBILITAS HUKUM ISLAM MENURUT HASYIM ASYARI
Authors: Sugara Robi
Published: March 2019

AbstractThe diversity of cultures and traditions in Indonesia gives rise to religious rituals (Islam) that synergize with Shari'a. It is very ironic if these deeds carried out by Muslims in Indonesia are accused as superstitious, bid'ah, and khurafat acts, since they are not in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah. This condition has caused a reaction from one of traditionalists namely Hasyim Asy'ari who was very concerned in preserving local traditions which were considered has Shari'a touch. This study uses descriptive analysis methods and is based on the idea that some rituals of Indonesian Muslims cannot be separated from culture and tradition. This is considered as something new or bid'ah. Hasyim Asy'ari argues that not all new things are deviant, because even though there is no valid argument, they may still rely on Shari'a. By understanding the meaning of bid'ah as well as the traditions, it is clear that Islam is present and develops in Indonesia through wisdom-based da'wah. That way, the author feels traditions such as tahlilan, group dhikr, istighatsah, prophet’s mawlid, and nisfu sya'ban must be preserved in the context of Islamic peaceful da'wah filled with wisdom in the nuances of Indonesian culture.Keywords : Culture, tradition, bid'ah, Hasyim Asyari, ShariaAbstrakKeberagaman budaya dan tradisi di Indonesia memunculkan ritual keagamaan (Islam) yang bersinergi dengan syariat. Sangat ironis jika amaliyah yang dilakukan oleh umat Islam di Indonesia dituduh sebagai perbuatan tahayul, bid’ah, dan khurafat, karena dianggap tidak sesuai dengan al-Qur’an dan al-Sunnah. Hal ini menimbulkan reaksi dari kaum tradisionalis yaitu Hasyim Asy’ari yang sangat peduli dalam melestarikan tradisi-tradisi lokal yang dianggap telah bernafaskan syariat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif penelitian serta didasarkan pada pemikiran bahwa amaliyah umat Islam Indonesia tidak lepas dari budaya dan tradisi. Hal tersebut dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang baru atau bid’ah. Hasyim Asy’ari berpendapat bahwa tidak semua hal yang baru itu berstatus sesat, karena meskipun tidak ada dalil yang sarih namun bisa jadi tetap bersandar pada syariat. Dengan memahami makna bid’ah sekaligus tradisi di atas jelas bahwa Islam hadir dan berkembang di Indonesia melalui dakwah yang bernuansa hikmah. Dengan begitu, penulis merasa tradisi-tradisi seperti tahlilan, dzikir bersama, istighatsah, maulid nabi dan nisfu sya’ban harus tetap dilestarikan dalam rangka dakwah Islam yang penuh dengan hikmah dalam nuansa budaya Indonesia.Kata kunci : konsep bid'ah, Hasyim Asyari, hukum Islam

Authors: Vlasenko Aleksandra , Musienko Aleksey
Published: March 2019

The Internet of Things is a concept of a computer network of physical objects (“things”) equipped with built-in technologies for interaction with each other or with the external environment, considering the organization of such networks as a phenomenon capable of restructuring economic and social processes, excluding the need for human actions and operations. The Internet of things consists of loosely connected disparate networks, each of which is deployed to solve specific tasks. For example, in modern cars there are multiple networks for controling the operation of the engine and other systems, for supporting third communications, etc. The offices and residential buildings are also equipped with many networks for controlling heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, telephone, security, lighting. As the Internet of things evolves, these and many other networks will be connected to each other and gain a higher level of security. As a result, the Internet of things will gain even more opportunities to open up new, broader perspectives for humanity. This article is devoted to the popular concept the Internet of things. The author analyzes the opportunities, as well as vulnerabilities of this phenomenon.
