Published: February 2020

Di sekolah pastinya selalu ada permasalahan dalam belajar di kelas, baik masalah kesulitan belajar ataupun sikap perserta didik yang tidak sesuai norma dan nilai sosial. Guru yang profesional adalah guru yang dapat memanajemen permasalahan tersebut dengan cara memperbaikinya. Perbaikan masalah dalam pembelajaran di kelas, dapat ditempuh oleh guru melalui penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK). Belum banyaknya guru IPS di SMP/MTs Malang Raya yang bisa melakukan PTK. Hal tersebut dikarenakan kurangnya pengetahuan guru IPS akan cara perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan penulisan laporan PTK. Maka dari itu, dilakukan  pelatihan PTK bagi guru IPS SMP/MTs Malang Raya sebagai program pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Metode pelaksanaan yakni dengan cara mengunndang langsung para grur IPS Malang Raya melalui Komunitas MGMP IPS. Hasilnya, pertama kegiatan pelatihan PTK dapat terealisasikan dengan baik oleh tim. Kedua, agar guru dapat memanfaatkan laporan hasil penelitian tindakan kelas untuk digunakan sebagai kenaikan pangkat, tim pengabdian kepada masyarakat memberikan juga materi tentang cara dan teknik menulis artikel ilmiah dari laporan PTK.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17977/um032v2i12019p006

Authors: Somani Rushabhkumar C. , Sangada Chirag K.
Published: February 2020

Background: Nephrolithiasis is highly prevalent across all demographic groups in the india and beyond, and its incidence rates are rising. In addition to the morbidity of the acute event, stone disease often becomes a lifelong problem that requires preventative therapy to diminish ongoing morbidity. Objective of this study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the management of large and complex renal stone.Methods: This retrospective study includes 75 renal calculi patients with 100 renal units with large and complicated stone >20 mm. Stones were classified into simple (isolated renal pelvis or isolated calyceal stones) or complex (partial or complete stag horn stones, renal pelvis stones with accompanying calyceal stones). Then various parameter like decrease haemoglobin, surgical complication, creatinine level, duration of surgery etc were compared between simple and complex stones patients by calculation p value using online student t test calculator. P value less than 0.01 considered as a difference of significance.Results: The mean stone size was 35.5±20.37 mm and mean operative duration was 60±35.3 min. In all, cases 60 (80%) were stone-free after the first procedure and another 10 needed an auxiliary procedure (5 second-look PCNL, 3 extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy-ESWL, 2 ureterorenoscopy, and) to become stone-free, resulting in a 93.33% stone-free rate. Complications occurred in 9 procedures (12%).Conclusions: From this study, it would be concluded that Minimally invasive PCNL provided significantly higher stone-free rate and efficiency quotient for management of urinary calculi. Overall complications are usually observed in patients having intraoperative hypotension and increased intra operative time.
Is there a need for antibiotic cover in clean surgery like laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a prospective study
Authors: Pai Vishwanath , Aboosalih Sana , Sundaram S. N. Saravana , Abraham Ann Rhoda , Prabhu K. R. Manoj
Published: February 2020

Background: Even with a low post-operative infection complication rate in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), most surgeons use prophylactic antibiotics out of habit. This prospective study was done to analyze the need for such prophylaxis in cases of elective LC.Methods: 135 successive patients undergoing elective LC were included in the study. Patients were randomized into 3 groups. Group A (n=45) cases received 3 doses of injection ceftriaxone in the post op period, group B (n=48) cases received a single dose of injection ceftriaxone at the time of induction of anesthesia, and group C (n=42) cases did not receive any antibiotic pre or post operatively. Post-operative infectious complications between three groups were compared.Results: There was no significant difference in surgical site infection rates between the groups for variables such as age, sex, body mass index, duration of symptoms, duration of surgery and hospital stay. Intraoperative spillage of bile [6.7% (A): 4.6% (B): 5.2% (C)] did not increase infectious complications.Conclusions: Routine use of prophylactic antibiotic in a clean, uncomplicated cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not required. One dose of ceftriaxone at the time of induction or 3 doses of injection ceftriaxone post operatively following elective LC even in the urban Indian setting should be abandoned as it neither reduces the rate of surgical site infection but also contributes to adverse reactions, drug resistance, and unnecessary financial burden.

Authors: Bagchi Puskal Kumar , Ghanghoria Ashish , T. P. Rajeev , Barua Sasanka Kumar , Sarma Debanga , Phukan Mandeep
Published: February 2020

Background: Urethral stricture is a relatively common disease. The choice of surgery is based on the stricture location, length of the stricture and etiology. Buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty with Asopa and Kulkarni techniques, revolutionized the approach to anterior urethral stricture repair. Objective of the study was to compare both the dorsal onlay BMG urethroplasty technique of Kulkarni and the dorsal inlay BMG urethroplasty technique of Asopa for the management of long anterior urethral stricture. Methods: From January 2015 to October 2019, a total of 90 patients with long anterior urethral strictures were randomized into two groups. Group A (42 patients) managed by Kulkarni technique. Group B (48 patients) managed by Asopa technique. BMG urethroplasty was considered successful if no further procedure required postoperatively with maximum flow rate >15 ml/s during the follow-up period.Results: The success rate in group A and B were 80.9% and 87.5%, respectively. The mean operative time was significantly longer in group A (175±22.6 min) than in group B (102±18.14 min, p-value <0.001). The average blood loss was significantly higher in group A (154±15.65 ml) than in group B (112.76±12.62 ml, p-value <0.012).Conclusions: The dorsal onlay technique of Kulkarni and the dorsal inlay technique of Asopa buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty are reliable and satisfactory procedures with good success rates and minimum complications.

Authors: Albal Manisha , Bansod Prasad Y. , Chauhan Mahendra
Published: February 2020

Mullerian duct anomalies are rare and can present with abnormalities in upper vagina, cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes. The exact incidence of cervicovaginal agenesis is unknown and there are very few cases recorded in the literature. Authors report a 12-year-old girl referred from gynaecologist with chronic cyclical abdominal pain with underdeveloped, geniatilia and developed secondary sexual characters. Radiological investigations showed hypoplastic cervix with hematometra and left hemato salpinx. A definitive repair with creation of a neovagina using a sigmoid colon segment was performed in a single stage. Many techniques are described for reconstruction of cervicovaginal canal. Use of colon in creation of a neovagina is described by authors. Here we report a case of complete vaginal agenesis presenting with Hematometra-Hematosalpinx where a neovagina was created using a segment of sigmoid colon. Single staged surgery for neovagina creation using segment of sigmoid colon offers a promising and safe alternative for cervicovaginal agenesis.

Authors: Kalwaniya Dheer Singh , Mani Vignesh , Pradhan Ravi Shekhar , Bajwa Jaspreet Singh , Raj Monish
Published: February 2020

Mucormycosis is a rare infection which is largely diagnosed in immune-compromised patients. The infection can cause pulmonary, rhinocerebral, skin and soft tissue, central nervous system, gastrointestinal and disseminated disease, with gastrointestinal involvement being the rarest presentation. Outcome and mortality of zygomycosis varies with the underlying condition and site of infection, it is however very high in general. Diagnosis is usually delayed and delay in initiation of amphotericin B treatment leads to poor outcome. We report rare case of a malnourished young adult who presented with gastric perforation peritonitis due to mucormycosis infection.
Relationship between postoperative recurrence rate and eosinophil density of nasal polyp: a record based retrospective study
Authors: Assiri Kholood S. , Al-shahrani Abdullah , Alwadai Abdullah H. , Al Ahmari Mohammad S.
Published: February 2020

Background: Nasal polyposis is one of the chronic sever airway diseases. It is known as a non-neoplastic inflammatory process of nasal mucosa that eventually leads to the outgrowth of abnormal masses inside the mucosa of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Eosinophils and nasal polyps are believed to affect the surgical outcome of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study was conducted to determine relationship between postoperative recurrent nasal polyp rate and types of histopathology of nasal polyp.

Methods: A retrospective study of 121 patients at Khamis Mushayt General Hospital (Aseer region, Saudi Arabia) from 2012 to 2017. All diagnosed and treated for nasal polyposis with different histopathological types. we collect all the recurrent cases with the same histopathological result.  

Results: The study included 121 patients with polyps whose ages ranged from 18 to 77 years old. 58% were males and 42% were females.  it was noticed that 33.9% of edematous types of polyps with Eosinophilic infiltration were recurrent compared to 25% of other types among patients below the age of 30 years with no statistical significance. At patients above 30 years, the recurrence rate among eosinophilic type was significantly higher than other types (54.5% compared to 13.3%, respectively).

Conclusions: Presence of mucosal eosinophilia is a more important factor than nasal polyps for classifying CRS in terms of the surgical outcome. Patients with mucosal eosinophilia had higher polyp recurrence rate than patients without mucosal eosinophilia, whereas patients with nasal polyps did not have higher polyp recurrence rate than patients without nasal polyps.
Endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy: evaluation of the anatomical and functional results
Authors: Tadke Kanchan , Lahane Vaibhav , Sarode Akshay , . Nitish
Published: February 2020

Background: Dacryocystorhinostomy is a novel surgical technique for NLD obstruction performed by external and endonasal approach. Both procedures have variable success rates and advantages or disadvantages. The objectives were to study functional and anatomic outcomes of endoscopic DCR and to assess degree of ostium shrinkage in postoperative period.

Methods: Prospective study comprising 68 patients of NLD obstruction with 70 procedures performed during the period of October 2014 to October 2016. Various dimensions of bony neo-ostium were recorded intraoperatively and during 1st and 3rd month follow up. Mitomycin C was applied in 37 cases. Degree of ostium shrinkage and its correlation with surgical success was studied. Outcome of study was measured as functional and anatomical success.  

Results: 68 patients in age range of 7 to 71 years. Mean intraoperative height and width were 12.0±2.08 mm and 5.17±0.82 mm respectively and intraoperative surface area of ostium was 62.77±17.27mm2. The study showed strong positive correlation between initial and final ostium size. The final ostium irrespective of its size, if patent does not result in recurrence of symptoms and can be considered as success. In the present study, functional and anatomical success was 97.14% and failure rate was 2.86%.

Conclusions: Both functional and anatomical success require creation of patent neo-ostium, although the intraoperative size of ostium is not the deciding factor for final outcome. Complete exposure of lacrimal sac, adequate mucosal preservation, good marsupialization and mucosal apposition are the some of the crucial factors responsible for stable ostium patency and hence the surgical success.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement: Challenges of the Conference of the Parties
Authors: Zangerolame Taroco Lara Santos , Sabbá Colares Ana Cecília
Published: February 2020

The purpose of this article is to analyze, within the scope of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, how the Conference of the Parties provides a new locus for discussion within the International Environmental Law. Increasing scientific evidence about the possibility of global climate change in the 1980s led to growing awareness that human activities have been contributing to substantial increases in the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Concerned with it, on December 11, 1990, the 45th session of the un General Assembly adopted a resolution that established the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for a Framework Convention on Climate Change (INC/FCCC). It was the beginning of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and also the beginning of the establishment of the Conferences of the Parties, which is currently in its 25th edition. The Paris Agreement was negotiated at the 21st edition of the Conference of the Parties and is the central theme of this study because of its rel- evance in the context of emission reduction. The Paris Agreement was created in December 2015, and the work on climate change had just begun. The final text of the Paris Agreement addresses important topics. Nonetheless, the document lacks clarity on many subjects, which were intentionally left aside in order to reach consensus to finish the Paris Committee’s work. Considering this scenario and the challenges arising from this international treaty, the article analyzes the Conferences already held until the Paris Agreement. It also reviews the COP21 negotiations from 2015, taking into account a historical comprehension of the in- ternational concern over climate change, and the documents created by the Conference. Finally, this article discusses the developments and setbacks on the subject since 1997, and the objections made by interna- tional actors at the COP21 negotiations.

Authors: Chouia Fateh , Belhouchet Hocine , Sahraoui Toufik
Published: February 2020

In this work, the activation energy of hydroxyapatite formation in different composites under non-isothermal conditions was determined using differential thermal analysis (DTA). Seven compositions were prepared and studied while varying the percentage of the kaolin from 20 to 80 wt.% at 10% increments. The DTA conducted at heating rates of 10, 20 and 30 K minâˆ’1 showed an exothermic peak in all composites in the region 700Â°Câ€“750Â°C associated with hydroxyapatite formation. The activation energies measured from non-isothermal treatments for seven compositions (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 mass% of kaolin) were 194, 178, 178, 209, 162, 146 and 121 kJ molâˆ’1, respectively.

El presente y sus restos. Arte, literatura e imagen en la estética contemporánea
Authors: Neuburger Ana
Published: February 2020

En las últimas décadas, el campo de la estética y de los estudios sobre el arte participaron de una serie de transformaciones y movimientos que hicieron converger dos problemáticas: los anuncios sobre el fin del arte (y de modo aún más amplio, el fin de sentido, de la historia, de la literatura) y los debates sobre la postautonomía del arte. A partir de los aportes críticos y teóricos de Nelly Richard, Jacques Rancière, Giorgio Agamben, entre otros, este artículo explora la emergencia de la noción de imagen en el escenario contemporáneo para despuntar los sentidos que abogan por la caducidad del arte o, su contracara, por un impulso de innovación de las formas. Ante la apertura de la relación entre arte y literatura, tiene lugar un desplazamiento que es posible leer en el modo en que la crítica argentina contemporánea compone una constelación de sentidos entre imagen, escritura y presente.
Images of women in the „Trilogy of Virtues” by Ulrich Seidl
Authors: Kowalska Hanna
Published: February 2020

The aim of the article is to systematise the reflections on the way of portraying women in the work of Ulrich Seidl — with particular emphasis on the Trilogy of Virtues — which consists of films: Paradise: Love, Paradise: Faith and Paradise: Hope. The author will show that the director focuses on the issue of the body and perceives his protagonists through this prism. Thus, for Seidl, body and physicality become an element of narration that connects women of different ages and experiences, much more than the fact that they are related to each other. The body serves the Austrian as a medium for reflection on the problem of social exclusion, one of the causes of which is precisely physicality, which differs from the image of the body approved by contemporary culture. The author demonstrates that the director immortalises the body in the context of what remains isolated in culture in the taboo sphere, and thus remains an element of social and cultural exclusion.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the number eight disease causes Years of Disability in developing countries. OA worsen life quality, from movement limitation until inability to perform normal daily routines. Obesity is one of the risk factor of OA. The doubles increasing trend of obesity from 1980, might possibly causes the escalation of OA case. However, there is still no study that explains the correlation between OA grade, especially knee OA, with Body Mass Index (BMI). The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is correlation between knee osteoarthritis (OA) grade with Body Mass Index (BMI) in outpatients of Orthopaedic and Traumatology department RSUD Dr. Soetomo. This study was cross-sectional study with analitical observational design and survey was the method to determine whether there is correlation between knee OA grade and BMI. Height and weight measurement and also knee x-ray reading were performed to determine the BMI and knee OA grade. The BMI categories that were used were based on standard from Health Department of Republic of Indonesia, while the grading system that were used were based on Kellgren-Lawrence’s grading system. Populations in this study were taken from the outpatients of Orthopaedic and Traumatology Department RSUD Dr. Soetomo during August until November 2015. After statistic test using Spearman correlation test was done, the result was p=0,822. It can be concluded that there was no significant correlation between knee OA grade and BMI. Furthermore, knee OA grade was not affected by BMI only, but also other risk factors as well.
Brief Exposure to Infants Activates Social and Intergroup Vigilance
Authors: Cheon Bobby , Esposito Gianluca
Published: February 2020

Among humans, simply looking at infants can activate affiliative and nurturant behaviors. Yet it remains unknown whether mere exposure to infants also activates generalized defensiveness in the absence of immediate threats. Here, we demonstrate that simply viewing faces of infants (especially from the ingroup) may heighten vigilance against social threats and support for institutions that purportedly maintain security. In Study 1 (United States), stronger affiliative reactions to images of infants (but not adults or puppies) predicted stronger perceptions of a dangerous world, endorsement of right-wing authoritarianism, and support for social-political conservatism (relative to liberalism). Study 2 (Italy) revealed that exposure to images of ingroup infants (compared to outgroup infants) increased intergroup bias against outgroups characterized as threatening (immigrants and Arabs) and increased conservatism. These findings suggest a predisposed preparedness for social vigilance in the mere presence of infants, even in the absence of salient external threats.

Published: February 2020

In this study, by using Least Square Method, the dataset for the Gross Domestic Product per capita is modeled as a function satisfying the fractional differential equation. The function itself is assumed to be the finite summation of its previous values and the derivatives with unknown coefficients. Then, the prediction for the upcoming years is done by having an approach dividing the dataset into 4 regions corresponding to four different tasks. The mathematical model of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of the countries (and union) which are Brazil, China, European Union (EU), India, Italy, Japan, UK, the USA, Spain, and Turkey is constructed with a new methodology called as the deep assessment method which comes from the expressing an arbitrary function modeling the dataset as the finite summation of its previous values and the derivatives with unknown coefficient. The method uses the fractional calculus properties combining with Least Square Method and is compared to Long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm which is a special type of neural network used for time sequences in general.
An Equivalent Non-uniform Beam-like Model for Dynamic Analysis of Multi-storey Irregular Buildings
Authors: Greco Annalisa , Fiore Ilaria , Occhipinti Giuseppe , Caddemi Salvatore , Spina Daniele , Caliò Ivo
Published: February 2020

Dynamic analyses and seismic assessments of multi-storey buildings at urban level require large-scale simulations and computational procedures based on simplified but accurate numerical models. At this aim the present paper propos-es an equivalent non-uniform beam-like model, suitable for the dynamic analysis of buildings with asymmetric plan and non-uniform vertical distribution of mass and stiffness. The equations of motion of this beam-like model, which pre-sents only shear and torsional deformability, are derived through the application of Hamilton’s principle. The linear dy-namic behaviour is evaluated by discretizing the continuous non-uniform model according to a Rayleigh-Ritz approach based on a suitable number of modal shapes of the uniform shear-torsional beam. In spite of its simplicity, the model is able to reproduce the dynamic behaviour of low- and mid-rise buildings with a significant reduction of the computa-tional burden with respect to that required by more general models. The efficacy of the proposed approach has been tested, by means of comparisons with linear FEM simulations, on three multi-storey buildings characterized by different irregularities. The satisfactory agreement, in terms of natural frequencies, modes of vibration and seismic response, proves the capability of the proposed approach to reproduce the dynamic response of complex spatial multi storey frames.

Published: February 2020

During its first month, the recently emerged 2019 Wuhan novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has already infected many thousands of people in mainland China and worldwide and took hundreds of lives. However, the swiftly spreading virus also caused an unprecedentedly rapid response from the research community facing the unknown health challenge of potentially enormous proportions. Unfortunately, the experimental research to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the viral infection and to design a vaccine or antivirals is costly and takes months to develop. To expedite the advancement of our knowledge we leverage the data about the related coronaviruses that is readily available in public databases, and integrate these data into a single computational pipeline. As a result, we provide a comprehensive structural genomics and interactomics road-maps of SARS-CoV-2 and use these information to infer the possible functional differences and similarities with the related SARS coronavirus. All data are made publicly available to the research community at http://korkinlab.org/wuhan .

Introduction: An epidemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) begun in December 2019 in China, causing primary concern. Among raised questions, clinical, laboratory, and imaging features have been partially characterized in some observational studies. No systematic reviews have been published on this matter. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis, using three databases to assess clinical, laboratory, imaging features, and outcomes of confirmed cases of COVID-19. All the observational studies, and also case reports, were included. The case reports were analyzed separately. We performed a random-effects model meta-analysis to calculate the pooled prevalence and 95%CI. Measures of heterogeneity, including Cochran’s Q statistic, the I2 index, and the τ2 test, were estimated and reported.Results: 660 articles were retrieved. After screening by abstract and title, 27 articles were selected for full-text assessment. Of them, 19 were finally included for qualitative and quantitative analyses. Additionally, 39 case report articles were included and analyzed separately. For >656 patients, fever (88.7%, 95%CI 84.5-92.9%), cough (57.6%, 40.8-74.4%) and dyspnea (45.6%, 10.9-80.4%) were the most prevalent clinical manifestations. Among the patients, 20.3% (95%CI 10.0-30.6%) required ICU, with 32.8% presenting ARDS (95%CI 13.7-51.8), 6.2% (95%CI 3.1-9.3) with shock and 13.9% (95%CI 6.2-21.5%) with a fatal outcome.Discussion: COVID-19 is a new clinical infectious disease, causing considerable compromise, especially in patients with comorbidities, requiring ICU in at least a fifth of them and sometimes with fatal outcomes. Additional research is needed to elucidate factors that may mediate the pathogenesis of the severe and fatal associated disease.

Se propuso tipificar fenotípicamente a las cabras de la provincia de Santa Elena, Ecuador, y probar si existían diferentes fenotipos. Se muestrearon 344 animales en distintos tipos de sistemas productivos y se observaron las siguientes variables: a) morfológicas: patrón y color de capa (PCA, CCA); pelaje y características del pelaje (PEL, CPEL); pigmentación de piel, mucosas y pezuñas (PPI, PMU, PPE); tamaño y disposición de orejas (TOR, DOR); perfil craneal (PCR); mamelas (MAM); barba (BAR); tipo y orientación de cuernos (TCU, OCU); grupa (GRU); b) morfo-estructurales: longitud y ancho de cabeza (LCB, ACB); largo de cara (LCA); longitud de oreja (LOR); ancho de hombros (AHO); profundidad y perímetro del tórax (PRT, PET); perímetro de caña (PC); longitud del cuerpo (LCR); altura a la cruz (ACR); longitud y ancho de grupa (LGR, AGR). Los análisis multivariados mostraron 3 grupos: 1) animales pequeños; CCA: colorada (35%), variada (33%); PMU (43%); BAR (44%); PCR recto (83%); TOR pequeñas (89%); DOR: horizontal (47%), hacia adelante (42%); TCU arqueados (68%); GRU semiplana (89%). 2) animales más anchos y largos; altura mediana; CCA: negra (38%), colorada (35%); PCR: recto (55%), subconvexo (34%); TOR: pequeñas (37%), medianas (38%); DOR: horizontal, hacia adelante y caídas (84%); TCU: arqueados (58%), curvos (38%); GRU semiplana (71%). 3) animales más altos; mayor LGR y PC; PMU (25%); BAR (19%); CCA: colorada (42%), negra (36%); PCR: subconvexo (58%), recto (39%); TOR: largas (51%), caídas (64%); TCU: arqueados (45%), rectos (43%); GRU semiplana (75%). El Grupo 1 correspondió al biotipo más antiguo de Santa Elena que representaría el fenotipo Criollo, los otros dos, serían el resultado de cruzamientos debidos a introducciones de otras razas procedentes principalmente de Loja (sur de Ecuador) y Perú.

Published: February 2020

La comprensión anatómica y locomotora de los aires naturales del camello es un elemento esencial para su evaluación cinética y cinemática en tanto que constituyen herramientas de marcada predictibilidad del rendimiento funcional, gasto energético y respuesta al entrenamiento. El estudio biomecánico, en asociación con evaluaciones termográficas complementarias, permite la delimitación precisa de los factores de riesgo potencialmente asociados a lesiones músculo-esqueléticas derivadas del trabajo físico desarrollado por estos animales y en consideración de patologías de etiología multifactorial en la mayor parte de los casos. Competiciones de velocidad, exhibiciones lúdicas o paseos turísticos son algunas de las actividades motoras desempeñadas por camellos y que, en regiones geográficas concretas, se encuentran perfiladas por un marcado arraigo cultural. En el caso particular del camello canario (Camelus dromedarius), su uso actual está marginalmente relegado al sector turístico. En condición de raza autóctona amenazada, el ajuste sistematizado de registros de rendimiento locomotor enriquecerá la viabilidad y sostenibilidad de las acciones de conservación, cría selectiva y revalorización funcional de esta raza camellar.

Published: February 2020

One of the advantages of using Islamic social funds is the increased ability of microfinance institutions to provide financial services to the poor. This study aims to (1) investigates the characteristics of the clients of the Islamic Charity Based Microfinance (ICBM) program; (2) test whether the clients ICBM program are more vulnerable than the non clients group (3) discuss the rationale of why poor excluded from the zakat based microfinance program. The study was conducted in the microfinance program at zakat institutions namely Baitul Maal Muamalat (BMMI), BAZNAS, and Baitul Maal Beringharjo (BMB). A total of 236 respondents including clients and non-clients of three case study institutions were participated in this study. The data is analyzed using binomial logit model to evaluate factors affecting clients participation in ICBM programs in Indonesia. The findings show that clients and non-clients of ICBM have a similar demographic profile and the majority ICBM clients live above the national poverty line, yet they live perilously close to the edge of the poverty line. Using logistic regression, this study found that the higher the client’s income level, the higher the probability of their being selected in the program. This findings contradict with the existing Islamic microfinance  literature that claim ICBM institutions in general could demonstrate a capacity to extend their services more widely to the poorest if Islamic charity is the main source of microfinance funding. This study suggests some possible barriers to include the poor in the microfinance including institutional selection policy and self exclusion factors.

In observing the sustainability of BMT, studies involving aspects of human quality that carry out internal activities are rarely examined in other studies. Therefore, the purpose of this stud is to create a model that is useful for predicting the sustainability of IMFI especially BMT based on variables that are considered important, namely; financing growth, Islamic human capital, fraud, and Islamic leadership. The model was analyzed using multiple regression analysis based on the stepwise method. Primary data (cross-sectional) taken in 2019 using questionnaires consisting of 105 respondents from the administrators and managers of BMTs in Semarang and Pekalongan Residency areas. We found that only two variables have a significant influence on the sustainability of Islamic microfinance institutions, these variables are financing growth and Islamic human capital. The results of the study can be used by practitioners to improve the performance of Islamic Micro Finance, especially BMT, through the distribution of funding in the context of economic improvement (especially micro-enterprise), spiritual strengthening for human resources owned, risk prevention, and appropriate leadership criteria.

Many cashless payment tools have been introduced to Indonesia market in the form of cards to electronic money. Sharia compliance-credit card is one of traditional electronic payment tools that are provided by only two Islamic finance institutions among many in Indonesia. The increase of Sharia compliance-credit card transactions from time to time may lead banks to be exposed to non-performing risk. Customers’ behaviors are varying in utilizing Sharia compliance-credit card, and their behavior may cause unpredicted results on card’s performance. Therefore, the purposes of this study are: 1) To identify the behavior of Sharia compliance-credit card’s users and 2) To analyze the factors influencing the behavior of Sharia compliance-credit card’s users. Primary data is gathered through distributing questionnaires with a total sample of 170 respondents. The data is analyzed by employing Structural Equation Modeling. This research shows that gender, age, and education influence perceived behavior control; and, expenditure influences subjective norms. Customers’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control are proven to influence customer intentions, where customers’ intentions, perceived behavior control, and income influence customers’ behavior towards using Sharia compliance-credit card. For further sustainable inclusive growth, the issuers should pay attention on education for specific audiences.
