Authors: Azua Samuel , Adewuyi Taiye Oluwafemi , Ojigi Lazarus Mustapha , Mudiare Omafuvwe Joseph
Published: April 2021

The focus of this study is to determine the relationship between land use and water quality in the River Mu drainage basin for effective water quality management. Various land uses in the study area were identified and mapped using Landsat 8 OLI of 2016. Water samples were also collected from 112 sample sites using Stratified Random Sampling methods. The samples were analysed in terms of physicochemical parameters using standard methods. The results of land use and water quality parameters were regressed using Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) to determine whether there exist spatially varying relationships. The results revealed that the local R2 values varied between 0.0 and 0.5, indicating a weak relationship between land use and water pollution, except for mixed forest and pH which recorded local R2 values of 0.7 towards the western region of the study area. This shows that the relationship between the two variables varied spatially across the drainage basin. The one-sample Kolmogorov Smirmov test-p<0.05 revealed that there were significant differences in pH (0.00), EC (0.00), turbidity (0.001), TDS (0.048), DO (0.003), NH4+ (0.002), Ca2+ (0.00), Cl- (0.036), Fe3+ (0.00) and Cr2+ (0.039) across the different sample points, whereas K+ (0.134), PO43- (0.715) and NO3- (0.501) were not significantly different across the different sample points. The study recommended that the procedure for water management be localized to sub-catchment and basin levels, to provide adequate attention to each sub-catchment depending on the level and nature of pollution identified.

Modified Nguyen and Revol’s method for solution set of linear interval system based on Rohn’s method without interval data inputs.
Authors: Uwamusi SE
Published: April 2021

The paper is a modificationofNguyen and Revol‟s method for the solution set to the linear interval system. The presented methoddoes not require solving Kahan‟s arithmetic which may be a hindrance to that of Nguyen and Revol‟s method as Nguyen and Revol‟s method relies mainly on interval data inputs.Our method under consideration first advances solutionusing real floating point LU Factorization to the real point linear system and then solves a preconditioned residual linear interval system for the error term by incorporating Rohn‟s method which does not make use of interval data inputs wherein, the use of united solution set in the sense of Shary comes in handy as a tool for bounding solution for the linear interval system. Special attention is paid to the regularity of the preconditioned interval matrix. Numerical exampleis used to illustrate the algorithm and remarks are made based on the strength of our findings.KEY WORDS:refinement of solution, linear interval system, Rohn‟s method, Hansen-Bliek-Rohnmethod, preconditioned residual linear interval iteration, kahan‟s arithmetic

Authors: Akpabio II , Duke EU
Published: April 2021

Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN) permits the highest quality of care in meeting the multifaceted needs of clients using the best available evidence from research findings, expert ideas from specialists in the various health care sectors and feedback from clients. However, in many instances, various challenges need to be addressed to enhance utilization of the best available evidence in nursing practice. This paper focused on ways of identifying the acceptable evidence and where they could be found; methods of implementing EBN; and appropriate measures of supporting EBN practice. For improved practice, it is recommended that nursing education should increasingly focus on development of skills for critical thinking and reflective practice as well as promotion of mentorship among nurse educators and nurse clinicians in regards to implementation of available and acceptable evidence.KEYWORDS: Evidence-based-care; Nursing; Practice.

Authors: Anya M.I , Ozung P.O , Igwe P.A
Published: April 2021

A 12-week feeding trial was carried out using 30 West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks of age between six and eight months with mean initial body weight of 9.36±1.31 kg, to determine the effect of sun-dried, urea-treated and fermented dietary cocoa pod husk meal (CPHM) as well as dietary CPHM with protein supplementation (African yam bean meal) on blood characteristics. Five experimental diets: T1 (0% CPHM-control), T2 (40% sundried CPHM), T3 (40% ureatreated CPHM), T4 (40% fermented CPHM) and T5 (40% CPHM and 10% African yambean) were formulated. Six animals per treatment were randomly assigned to the experimental diets using a CRD. Blood parameters (haematological and serum biochemical indices) were evaluated at the end of the feeding trial. Results of the study showed that the White blood cell counts, packed cell volume and red blood cell counts were significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by dietary treatments. In terms of serum chemistry, higher values of urea were recorded in sundried (6.57 mmol/l) and protein supplemented (6.57 mmol/l) groups, followed by the fermented group (6.17mmol/l). Calcium (2.24 mmol/l) and total protein (7.44g/dl) were highest in urea-treated CPHM group followed by the protein supplemented group (1.84 mmol/l and 7.37g/dl) and lowest in the sundried CPHM group (1.14 mmol/l and 6.21g/dl) respectively. The study concludes that blood composition of WAD bucks was best in the urea-treated and protein supplemented groups respectively, and 40% cocoa pod husk meal supplemented with 10% protein (African yambean) can be incorporated in the diets of WAD bucks without fear of compromising haematological and serum biochemical ndices.Keywords: Cocoa pod husk, Urea, Fermented, Protein supplemented, WAD bucks

Published: April 2021

Deterministic and probabilistic re-evaluation was used in handling predetermined six uncertainties in five wells in Isand reservoir. Results of low case (LC) modeled string showed that the I-sand reservoir is severely deformed by faults and this was confirmed with a predicted high case (HC) modeled string. When structure was sensitized at a bulk volume of 10,964STB with porosity of 0.266, water saturation of 0.43 and net to gross ratio (NTG) of 0.75 and initial oil formation volume factor (Boi) of 2.2bbl/stb, the resultant estimated stock tank initial oil in place (STOIIP) gave 5,892,752.65STB or the base case. The corresponding STOIIP for the low and high case are 5,198,470.887STB and 6,451,196.678STB. Results of deterministic analysis shows that the low case results gave a minimum value of 5.20MMSTB for structures and maximum value of 6.2MMSTB for water saturation. High case results revealed a maximum of 6.45MMSTB for structures and a minimum value of 5.69MMSTB for water saturation. Results of high, low and base cases were used to quantify some of the uncertainties in the volumetric estimation and subsequently in the probabilistic method. This work clearly shows the viability of the pragmatic approach used to quantify the uncertainty ranges in reservoir parameters and their impact on the statics volumes as well as recovery. Keywords: deterministic, probabilistic, modeled, structures, water saturation, net to gross ratio
Implementation of a wireless charging system for mobile devices
Authors: Ogbulezie Julie C. , Usibe Brian E , Solomon Godwin C
Published: April 2021

This work describes the implementation of an RF based wireless charging system using RF transmitting and receiving modules. The objective of this work is to implement a system that has the ability to interact and communicate wirelessly within short range. This mobile wireless charging switching system consists of two sections, the transmitting and the receiving section. Each section was interfaced to 433MHz transmitting and receiving modules. The transmitter section of the wireless mobile charging system sends bursts of 433MHz signal through push button switch which is used in the initiation of the charging process to the receiver; when this signal is received by the receiver, it activates a relay which in turn switches on the internal power that comprises the backup battery, DC-to DC converter via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port to the mobile device to begin charging. This work was able to achieve a wireless transfer of power for distance of about one metre between the transmitter and the receiver.Keywords: wireless charging, radio frequency radiation, electromagnetic induction, inductive coupling, microcontroller,

Published: April 2021

This paper describes the impact of household activities by gender in areas vulnerable to climatic variability. A multistage sampling technique was applied, using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire while secondary data was obtained from the Meteorological Department Nairobi, Kenya and Lagos, Nigeria. Data obtained were analysed using frequency distribution, trend analysis, percentage and means. A total of 338 respondents were sampled in Baringo County and 158 respondents in Jigawa State. Trend in rainfall pattern has been unstable and fluctuates by 0.44mm and 19.96mm in Baringo County, Kenya and Jigawa State, Nigeria respectively. Majority of the respondents 94.1 % (Baringo county) and 60.68% (Jigawa State) affirmed that the climate is no longer stable following observed variations in the elements of climate over time. Perception of respondents were in line with the climatic data records. A differential assessment on socially contructed roles of male and female respondents in farming households of Baringo County, Kenya revealed that males are key decision makers in choice of crop/seed to plant (50.6%), livestock keeping/feeding (57.4%), land preparation (52.4%) and coping strategies to adopt for climate variability (57.1%). Similarly, males in Jigawa State, Nigeria took charge, leading decisions on crop/seed to plant (60.7%), livestock keeping/feeding (51.6%), and coping strategies to adopt for climate variability (58.8%) while their females are key decion makers in land preparation activities (57.5%). This implies that female decisions (on agricultural activities and climate variability) in the study areas are secondary.Keywords: Climate variability, Livelihood, Gender, Adaptation/coping strategies

Authors: Amegbey N. , Afum B. O. , Ndur S. , Coffie-Anum E.
Published: April 2021

Atmospheric pollutants diffusion study was conducted around the operational sites and immediate neighbouring communities of Ghana Manganese Company (GMC). The pollutants are emitted by sources associated with the main operations and activities of the mine including on-bench rock drilling and blasting, material excavation and hauling, vehicular movements and mine machinery exhaust emissions, as well as crushing of blasted rocks. Methodologies involving computerised dispersion modelling was used to estimate near-field ambient pollutant impacts on neighbouring Tarkwa-Banso community, at 400 m from the Mine’s nearest operational site (Pit C North). The community is located in the dispersive fan of North to the East-South-Eastern part of the mine site. Measured airborne particulates (PM10 and TSP) concentrations in the Tarkwa-Banso community were below Ghana EPA’s permissible limits of 70 µg/m3 and 150 µg/m3 respectively. The predicted monthly concentrations of the airborne particulates (PM10 and TSP) at 400 m buffer from the crushing plant were greatly lower than the permissible regulatory limits. With effective dust mitigation measures, the predicted PM10 and TSP dust concentrations emanating from drilling, blasting, loading and hauling activities at Pit C North were also generally lower than the regulatory requirement. All the predicted monthly concentrations of NOx and SO2 at the 400 m buffer from Pit C North were significantly lower than the allowable regulatory requirement of 60 µg/m3 and 100 µg/m3 respectively. The study indicates that, the operation of the crushing plant together with the general mining operations at Pit C North in the mine has no significant impact on Tarkwa-Banso community.  Keywords: Impacts, Particulates Matter, Concentration Levels, Environment, Prediction
Fungal-Transformation of Surrogate Sulphides and Carbonaceous Matter in Refractory Gold Ores: Revisited
Authors: Ofori-Sarpong G. , Adjei D. K. , Amankwah R. K.
Published: April 2021

In the recovery of gold from refractory gold ores, pretreatment is required to decompose sulphides and liberate occluded gold before cyanidation, and to deactivate carbonaceous matter and prevent it from adsorbing dissolved gold. Until the past three decades, most commercial pretreatment processes had been by abiotic means. Biological pretreatment methods on commercial basis is therefore a recent phenomenon, and several researches are underway to assess the ability of different biological agents in the breakdown of sulphur and carbonaceous matter (CM) in gold ores. This paper, which is a revisit of an earlier one, presents an overview of on-going research aimed at assessing the capability of the fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, to degrade sulphides and CM. Surrogate carbonaceous materials (lignite, bituminous and anthracite coals) and pure sulphides (pyrite and arsenopyrite) were used to model the behavior of CM and sulphides in refractory gold ores. To monitor the extent of biotransformation, preg-robbing test was conducted on the as-received and treated CM, and sulphide sulphur in the residual sulphidic materials was also determined. From an initial preg-robbing effect of 125 µg of gold per gram of CM, the ability of CM to preg-rob gold reduced by 70-95% in the order of lignite<bituminous <anthracite within 21 days of treatment, whereas there were 18% and 39% oxidation of sulphide sulphur in pyrite and arsenopyrite respectively. XRD examination of the treated anthracite confirmed reduction in the graphitic structure of carbon following fungal transformation. Similarly, there was a decline in the major sulphide peak after microbial pretreatment. The results indicate that the fungus biotransforms through destruction of the ordered structure, followed by introduction of oxygen groups. The amorphous nature, thus generated, inhibits the uptake of aurocyanide ions by CM, while enhancing the affinity of cyanide for the oxidised sulphide material in subsequent cyanidation treatment. The findings contribute to knowledge on novel and technically viable alternative methods for oxidative pretreatment of refractory gold ores. Keywords: Phanerochaete Chrysosporium, Carbonaceous Matter, Metal Sulphides, Biotransformation
Eksposisi Kata dan Frasa Pelayanan Sosial Politik Nabi Samuel di Masa Pemerintahan Transisi
Authors: Mujianto Yonathan
Published: April 2021

The phrase that "Samuel ruled as judge over the Israelites all his life" indicates that the spiritual and governmental responsibilities did not cease until he died. The atmosphere of socio-political service is described even more strikingly and impressively when the monarchy reigned under the reign of the first king in Israel under the reign of King Saul. Socio-political service does not stop even though he is no longer the leader of the Israeli people, namely as a judge, but he still interacts with socio-political issues in addition to the spiritual and social problems of his nation. This fact of Samuel's ministry shows the need for a realistic understanding in today's society that the leadership of God's people in this matter can also be the leadership of God's church so as not to refuse at all or be hesitant to take part in ministry in socio-political life. In this paper the author only examines the exposition of words and phrases, namely trying to understand the knowledge or understanding of the biblical texts which are clearly closely related to the socio-political ministry of the Prophet Samuel so that this knowledge can be appropriated so that God's people can apply them in socio-political life. present time. The research method used in this paper is descriptive method. The use of this descriptive method is used to get a clear picture of the exposition texts, whether they are phrases / phrases or words that intersect with the experience and ministry of the prophet Samuel in the socio-political field during the transition period from the rule of judges to the monarchy of Israel. The themes of the descriptive study and discussion are formed from the exposition of the phrases and words in the socio-political field of the ministry and experience of the prophet Samuel.

"Intelligent tutoring in the wild: leveraging mobile app technology to guide live training"
Authors: Goldberg Benjamin , Roberts Nicholas , Powell W. Gabe , Burmester Elyse
Published: April 2021

"Mobile computing technologies are extending how people can interact with educational and training content in a whole new way. Through high resolution displays, intuitive user interfacing, embedded sensing technologies, and well supported app development communities, there is a plethora of content that can be used to build effective materials that target knowledge and skill development. To truly enhance this new training paradigm, extending Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) to support mobile interactions can provide a new means to managing training in a rich contextualized environment. In this instance, learning takes place in the natural environment where directed experiences focus on the elements surrounding one’s location. In this paper, we describe the development of a new mobile ITS application using the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT; Sottilare, Goldberg, Brawner & Holden, 2012). The domain of land navigation was applied as a use case, with direct support for the United States Military Academy at West Point. We describe the training concept, how GIFT was extended to support this concept from an architectural and assessment standpoint, along with implementation plans for an initial training effectiveness study."
"A hybrid machine learning approach to Automated Scenario Generation (ASG) to support adaptive instruction in virtual simulations and games"
Authors: Sottilare Robert A.
Published: April 2021

"This paper examines machine learning methods to automatically generate a large number of child scenarios from a small number of parent scenarios in support of adaptive instruction conducted in virtual simulations and game-based platforms. Adaptive instructional systems (AISs) include Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs), intelligent mentors, recommender systems, personal assistants, and intelligent instructional media. AISs attempt to tailor instruction for individuals and teams based on their learning needs (e.g., knowledge or skill deficiencies), goals, and preferences. This often requires much more content than current non-adaptive systems which provide one or a very limited set of training scenarios to address a given set of learning objectives. The goal of the research described in this paper is to reduce the authoring burden for developing a large number of unique and relevant training scenarios. The methodology presented also ranks the resulting scenarios with respect to a set of author-specified learning objectives and learner/team competency in the domain of instruction. The unique contributions of this paper are tied to its hybrid machine learning approach, and consideration for both learning objectives and learner/team competency in automatically ranking generated scenarios."
Control of a mobile robotic manipulator: a combined design approach
Authors: Crespo Martín , Nacusse Matías , Junco Sergio , Rayankula Vitalram , Mani Pathak Pushparaj
Published: April 2021

"This paper focuses on the problem of reducing via control actions the interaction between the mobile platform and the arm in a mobile robot equipped with a redundant planar manipulator. It is solved maintaining the mobile base as immobile as possible once it has been moved to a desired position, which serves to a double purpose. On the one hand, it helps keeping fixed the workspace of the manipulator, as predefined in the world coordinates, in order for the end-effector being able to reach the points where it has to perform its tasks. On the other hand, as this reduces the disturbances that the otherwise moving base would introduce on the arm movement, this serves to improve the precision in the execution of whatever task the end-effector has to perform. The problem is solved via a combination of operational space control to solve the arm tip trajectory tracking problem and energy-shaping and damping assignment to restrict the movement of the mobile base. The latter is achieved using a backstepping technique in the Bond Graph domain which emulates dissipation and stiffness at the base wheels coordinates through the control of the DC motors actuating them. Simulation results show the good performance of the control system."

Published: April 2021

A avaliação do regime pluviométrico constitui uma ferramenta indispensável para planejar e gerir adequadamente os recursos hídricos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a variabilidade espaço-temporal da precipitação pluviométrica na região hidrográfica do Paraguaçu - BA. Baseado nos dados de precipitação pluviométrica de 50 postos pluviométricos inseridos e no entorno da região, datados de 1989 a 2018, foram elaborados gráficos e mapas para avaliação espaço-temporal da precipitação média, do Índice de Anomalia de Chuva (IAC) e do Índice de Concentração de Precipitação (ICP). Ainda foram identificadas zonas de pluviosidades homogêneas, através da análise de agrupamentos. Os resultados revelaram que o período chuvoso é bem definido entre novembro e abril, os maiores índices de precipitação (acima dos 700 mm) ocorreram nas extremidades leste e oeste e os menores (abaixo dos 400 mm) nas porções influenciadas pelo semiárido. A tendência decrescente do IAC apontou alta possibilidade para ocorrência de eventos extremos de seca, enquanto a média histórica de 17,04 % para o ICP, que classificou a distribuição de chuvas como medianamente irregular, indicou a ocorrência de precipitações concentradas. Foram identificados três agrupamentos homogêneos em relação à variabilidade pluviométrica.

Published: April 2021

O presente artigo visa discorrer sobre a teoria e prática antimanicomiais de Frantz Fanon, extraindo subsídios à Luta Antimanicomial (LA) e Reforma Psiquiátrica (RP) brasileiras. Analisamos seus escritos psiquiátricos, demais produções que abarcam reflexões sobre a psiquiatria, saúde mental e loucura, junto de fontes secundárias sobre sua vida e obra como complementação e aprofundamento. Constatamos três pilares de sua práxis: a sociogênese da saúde mental e a loucura como patologia da liberdade; a necessidade de superação do manicômio; e a crítica à psiquiatria como braço do sistema colonial. Uma LA e RP que se nutram da práxis fanoniana e contribuam ao germinar de novos seres e sociedade, implicando em relações desalienadas e desalienantes, devem ser radicais: antirracistas, antipatriarcais, anticapitalistas e, num capitalismo gestado na/pela colonização, anticoloniais, pautadas nas necessidades de nossos condenados da terra, do asfalto, dos porões e senzalas.
A interseccionalidade no encarceramento de mulheres no sudoeste do Paraná
Authors: Soldatelli Brenda Debona , Wedig Josiane Carine , De Barros Sergio Paes
Published: April 2021

Este artigo analisa a interseccionalidade entre gênero, raça e classe no encarceramento de mulheres no contexto da Cadeia Pública de Pato Branco/PR. O estudo tem como base teórica o feminismo decolonial, que propõe a análise da colonialidade do poder e do ser; e o feminismo negro, que preconiza a categoria de interseccionalidade. Desse modo, a pesquisa sobre encarceramento permite considerar questões mais amplas que perpassam fatores de exclusão na sociedade moderna e que se refletem no controle sobre os corpos dentro das prisões, especialmente, os corpos das mulheres. O estudo foi construído através do método de história de vida, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com mulheres presas. Observamos que o ato de encarcerar, quando realizado com mulheres, além de assumir o controle sobre o corpo tido como insubordinado – visando torná-lo dócil, submisso e obediente –, acaba por reforçar a sociedade patriarcal e suas formas de controle sobre as mulheres.

FACTORES QUE IMPIDEN LA PERDURABILIDAD DE LAS MICROEMPRESAS UBICADAS EN LA ZONA URBANA DEL CANTÓN FLAVIO ALFARO
Authors: Alcívar Muñoz Venus Yaritza , Bravo Santana Verónica
Published: April 2021

Esta investigación de campo analizó los factores que impiden la perdurabilidad de las microempresas del cantón Flavio Alfaro. Para su desarrollo, se revisaron estudios relacionados a la actividad emprendedora en Ecuador y a los factores que ocasionan el fracaso a empresas de reciente creación, propuestos por expertos en el tema. Consecuentemente, se utilizó información del Servicio de Rentas Internas –SRI– correspondiente al catastro de 151 microempresas a diciembre de 2019; mediante metodología documental se estableció una investigación de campo de dos semanas en el mercado local de Flavio Alfaro en febrero de 2020, usando un modelo de encuesta donde participaron 130 microempresarios correspondientes a 100 en estado activo y 30 en estado suspendido. Además, se realizó un modelo de ficha de observación para 10 microempresas en estado activo y un modelo de entrevista estructurada para tres propietarios de microempresas en estado suspendido. Los resultados del catastro evidencian que de 151 microempresas, el 75,5% son comerciales; el 23,84% son de servicios y el 0,66% son manufactureras. Los resultados de la encuesta demuestran que persisten dificultades para que una microempresa en Flavio Alfaro supere la barrera de los tres años de existencia, y junto con los resultados de las fichas de observación y entrevistas se establece que entre estas dificultades destacan el ingreso insuficiente, inadecuado uso del dinero y el alto costo de arrendamiento.

En el recinto Quimis del Cantón Jipijapa, en la zona Sur de Manabí, Ecuador, se realizó una investigación relacionada con la caracterización de la producción apícola en la Asociación Aroma y Miel, cuyo sustento para las abejas en la producción de miel son las especies del bosque seco tropical. Dicha miel es aprovechada por los residentes locales involucrados para, entre otros usos, comercializarla. El objetivo de este estudio se basó en caracterizar la producción apícola en un sistema cooperativo asociado al bosque seco tropical. Se seleccionaron siete apiarios activos distribuidos dentro del recinto, dónde se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 38 familias miembros de dicha Asociación. Los resultados muestran que, los meses de mayor floración se enmarcan entre marzo hasta inicios de octubre. El tipo de miel en su mayoría la obtienen de varias flores (28 citaciones) y solo 10 entrevistados citaron optar por una sola flor, siendo esta la flor de la especie Ceiba trichistandra. Los apicultores hacen capturas de la abeja reina y dividen la colmena en lo que llaman su nuevo proyecto reina. Más del 50 % de los entrevistados afirmaron que no alimentan sus abejas, en tanto que clasifican las mieles, basados en el sabor, el color y su contextura, de acuerdo con la flor de la que proceden. El 50 % realizan la trasportación fuera del recinto. Los apicultores desconocen la totalidad de las especies melíferas que florecen durante todo el año, evidenciado en los datos presentados en el calendario floral resultante de esta investigación.
EPISTEMOLOGI TAFSIR AL-JABIRI KRITIK ATAS FAHM AL-QUR`AN, AL-TAFSĪR AL-WĀḌIḤ ḤASBA TARTĪB AL-NUZŪL
Authors: Najib Muhammad
Published: April 2021

Tulisan ini bermaksud mengkaji tafsir al-Jabiri dalam Fahm al-Qur`ān dengan mengajukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan berikut: Bagaimana epistemologi tafsir al-Jabiri? Apa pendapat alJabiri tentang tartīb al-nuzūl dan pengaruhnya terhadap pemaknaan al-Qur`an? Tafsir al-Jabiri didasarkan pada sumber konteks situasi dan budaya saat mana suatu ayat diturunkan. Hal itu didasarkan pada prinsip bahwa pemaknaan ayat-ayat al-Qur`an harus sesuai dengan makna yang dapat dipahami pada saat ayat tersebut diturunkan. Karena itu tartīb al-nuzūl menjadi aspek terpenting dalam tafsir al-Jabiri. Sebab tartīb al-nuzūl dapat memberikan arah bagi pararelisasi turunnya ayat dengan fase-fase dakwah Rasulullah Ṣalla Allah Alayhi wa sallam yang menciptakan konteks bagi pemaknaan ayat. Dalam menyusun tartīb al-nuzūl al-Jabiri menggunakan tartīb al-nuzūl versi kesarjanaan muslim sebagai acuan yang kemudian dimodifikasi dengan mengadopsi metode penyusunan tartīb al-nuzūl Noldeke dan Blachere. Penyusunan al-Jabiri menghasilkan tartīb al-nuzūl yang sama sekali berbeda dengan versi Noldeke maupun Blachere dan hanya berbeda dalam 13 surah dengan versi kesarjanaan Muslim. Key Words: tafsir al-Jabiri, epistemologi, tartīb al-nuzūl, Noldeke, sarjana Muslim.
METODE TAFSIR SINTESIS (TAWḪĪDI) MUḪAMMAD BAQIR AL-ŞADR: DARI REALITAS KE TEKS
Authors: Kasful Humam Abdul Wadud
Published: April 2021

Berawal dari ketidakpuasannya terhadap bentuk dan sistematika tafsir klasik (taḫlili) yang menurutnya telah melahirkan pandangan-pandangan parsial (not complete) dan atomistik serta belum mampu menyuguhkan pandangan solutif terhadap problem-problem kehidupan, juga karena motivasinya terhadap pernyataan sayyidina Ali bin Abi Thālib “Istantiq al-Qur’an….”, maka untuk menambal kekurangan-kekurangan dalam tafsir-tafsir klasik tersebut dan mengaplikasikan tesis ‘Ali, Muhammad Bāqir al-Şadr mengajukan sebuah metode tematik yang ia sebut dengan metode tawhîdi. Istilah tawhîdi, bukan dalam arti kesatuan tema dalam al-Qur’an sebagaimana metode tafsirnya Ḫasan al-Turābi dan yang lain, akan tetapi yang dimaksud tawhîdi oleh Bāqir al-Şadr adalah penyatuan pengalaman-pengalaman manusia (realitas sosial) dengan al-Qur’an. Metode tawhîdi adalah metode tafsir dimana penafsir tidak menafsirkan al-Qur’an secara membujur ayat per ayat, tetapi mengetengahkan pandangan al-Qur’an mengenai persoalan atau tema-tema kehidupan yang menyangkut masalah akidah, sosial dan kosmologi seperti tema tentang tauhid, kenabian (nubuwwah), ekonomi, norma-norma sejarah, penciptaan langit dan bumi dan lain-lain. Sehingga ketika ada tafsir yang disusun berdasarkan tema-tema tertentu dalam al-Qur’an dan tidak tuntas menyelesaikan problem sosial, maka Muhammad Bāqir al-Şadr menyebutnya dengan Dirāsah Qur’āniyyah, bukan tafsir tematik.

Authors: Wahidi Ridhoul
Published: April 2021

Tulisan ini membahas hermenutika kontekstual Abdullah Saeed yang berimplikasi terhadap hermeneutika al-Qur'an secara lebih luas. Abdullah Saeed mengapdosi teori double movement-nya Fazlur Rahman untuk menghasilkan penafsiran kontekstual yang menjadi proyeknya. Ada empat landasan teoritis yang dirumuskan oleh Abdullah Saeed dalam penafsiran kontekstualnya: 1. Korelasi wahyu dengan konteks sosio-historis saat wahyu itu diturunkan. 2. Faktor fleksibilitas cara membaca al-Qur’an dan hukum yang berlaku di dalam al-Qur’an mengikuti situasi dan kondisi, yang menunjukkan bahwa sejak diturunkannya, wahyu telah berdialektika dengan author pertamanya. 3. Kondisi internal al-Qur’an tidak dapat dibaca dan dipahami hanya dengan pendekatan tekstual. Key Word: Tafsir Kontekstual, Ethico-Legal Texts, Hermentika Pembebasan
STILISTIKA MORFOLOGI DALAM AYAT-AYAT PENCIPTAAN MANUSIA
Authors: Nur Amalia Sholihah
Published: April 2021

This paper examines the language style contained in the verses of the human creation process. The problems studied include the stylistics of the Qur'an from the aspect of morphology and its implications for the meaning contained therein. The choice of words and the structure of the sentence form in this discussion looks unique, because they have different editors in each mention. This research is part of library research. The steps taken in this research are: a) Collecting verses about the human creation process; (b) identifying the verse of the human creation process by considering two things, the first, that the words have a set of morphological meanings. The second, that these morphological meanings are presented through various constructions; (c) listing the results of identification; (d) analyzing the relationship between the construction of the verses of the human creation process with each other, both in terms of conformity and contradiction; (e) describing the analysis results and concluding. The results of this study indicate that the morphological aspects contained in the verse in the process of human creation show the miraculous side of the Qur'an. The difference in the editorial of the al-Qur`an does not lead to deviations from the meaning to be conveyed. In fact, this has the effect of meaning which explains and strengthens one another.

ANALISIS TERJEMAH AYAT-AYAT ISTIFHĀM
Authors: Dakwah Dinuro  , Maimoen Abdul Ghofur
Published: April 2021

Al-Qur`an is a medium of interaction between God and humans by using Arabic. This interaction uses a variety of sentences, including an interrogative sentence. The interrogative sentence does not only function to ask for information but is intended for other purposes according to the context of the narrative. People who do not speak Arabic, how to understand the interactions contained in the Qur'an depends on the translation into their language. This study examines the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affair’s translation of Istifhām verses with a focus on surah al-Baqarahjuz 1. The method used in this study is descriptive-analysis method witha translation theory for Istifhām verses or introgative sentences. This method is used to determine the consistency of the translation and the value represented in the translation. This study concludes that the translation is consistent in selecting equivalent words. Meanwhile, inconsistencies occur in the translation of the question word hamzah by thereason of  more appropriate considered diction for the translation. Sometimes hamzah is translated using the question word "apakah (whether)", the particle "kah", "mengapa (why)", and "tidak (not)". In general, the 11 verses, the object of the author's study, are translated into the form of interrogative sentences.

El conseguir un diagnóstico preciso procurando optimizar al máximo el material que se maneja en los Servicios de Anatomía Patológica, conservando sus características estructurales, moleculares y genéticas, que nos permitan establecer un tratamiento preciso y si es posible individualizado, es un objetivo fundamental de nuestra especialidad. Esto hace necesario diseñar procedimientos y protocolos, que como en el caso de los bloques celulares (BC), garanticen una correcta pre-analítica en aquellas muestras valiosas de escasa celularidad, para rentabilizarlas al máximo.
