How working women navigate communication privacy management boundaries when seeking social support during cancer treatment
Authors: Elkins Donna M.
Published: May 2020

Working women diagnosed with cancer face difficult decisions about disclosing personal information. A 2017 survey for Cancer and Careers, a non-profit organization assisting cancer patients and survivors with finding and continuing employment, found that women are more likely than men to share their diagnosis with work colleagues, and do so more often to feel supported by co-workers. However, disclosure guidelines for communication about having cancer are difficult to establish, as they may vary widely depending on the individual and the situation. Most research about health self-disclosure has focused on the initial decision to divulge that one has an illness and on the depth of that initial disclosure. The current study was designed to further describe how working women navigate disclosures not only during the initial diagnosis, but throughout treatment and into recovery to gain needed social support. Using the typology of social support and the tenets of Communication Privacy Management Theory, the goal of this study is to share individual narratives of how working women change privacy rules to procure the type of social support needed in each stage of their experience.
Values at work

Tensions between nurses and physicians have been linked to differences in power, hierarchy, education, compensation and gender. Less attention has been paid to the underlying values on which these differences are predicated. Likewise, little is known about how frequently values conflicts are resolved, and the threats to patient safety unresolved conflicts pose. Our aim was to compare the values embedded in affirming and challenging narratives elicited from nurses and physicians from a large health system. We used thematic analysis and descriptive statistics to assess goodness-of-fit of observed differences in themes. Narratives were coded into eight values categories. Nurses felt affirmed by emotional investment, altruism, humanism, and being of service; for physicians, it was humanism and teamwork. Nurse challenges involved respect, altruism/kindness and emotional investment. For physicians it was also respect and, in addition, professionalism, being of service, humanism and teamwork. Some values affirming narratives, e.g., humanism, were indistinguishable, while for some values challenging narratives e.g., respect, there was virtually no overlap. Participant narratives provide important insights into work-life satisfaction and tensions arising from differences in the underlying values of close working professional groups. Unresolved values conflicts are a potential threat to quality, safety and effective relationships.
Dementia and identity
Authors: Bailey Annika
Published: May 2020

Dementia is often interpreted as a loss of identity because of the changes it causes in memory, mood and behaviour. Such a binary interpretation impacts the quality of care an individual receives and reinforces stigma surrounding the condition. In this paper, an approach informed by social constructionism considers how people with dementia on an online forum discursively construct identities in relation to dementia. Utilising the tools of corpus linguistics, the study examines six-months of forum contributions, totalling 120,000 words. A close analysis of the keywords dementia, Alz, illness and disease reveals how forum users position themselves around and despite dementia. A collective identity is constructed which asserts shared experiences and the ability to empathise, while in other instances linguistic choices distance the individual from dementia, advocating a distinct, non-dementia identity. The paper illuminates some of the ways that people with dementia negotiate the complexities of identity construction while navigating the challenges of living with chronic illness.

ABSTRACT We present a synthesis (2006-2012) of plant community dynamics in an area (1 ha) of the largest remnant of Atlantic Rain Forest surrounded by São Paulo city. Plants with ≥ 2.5 cm dbh, including the climbers, were sampled in 10 transects (2 × 50 m), and the smaller (> 1 m height, < 2.5 cm dbh) in 10 subtransects (1 × 50 m). We sampled 901 individuals, 125 species (38 families), 83 classified as late-successional species, 12 threatened with extinction and 56 absent in the area management plan, some Endangered (EN) species. The climbers were the most dynamics, they had the largest decrease in basal area; and the larger (> 5.0 cm dbh) and shorter (< 2.5 cm dbh) trees had the highest mortality rates of the shrub-tree synusia. Late species regeneration was predominant. The studied forest showed progression towards more mature successional stages in the monitoring period.

Reduction of Biofilm Formation on Cooling Tower Heat Exchangers using Nano-silica Coating
Authors: Turetgen Irfan
Published: May 2020

Cooling towers are industrial cooling units operating to dissipate heat. As with any surface in contact with aqueous systems, biofilm formation appears on the surface of heat exchangers. Although biofilm formation on plastic tower fill in wet cooling towers has been studied widely, no studies were found regarding biofilm formation on steel heat exchangers in closed-loop systems. In this study, heat exchangers were coated with nano-silica, which is known to reduce the formation of biofilm. Natural biofilm formation was monitored for six months. Biofouling was examined monthly using epifluorescence microscopy by assessing the numbers of live and dead bacteria. It was observed that the biofilm layer formed on the nano-silica coated heat exchanger surfaces was significantly lower than on the control surfaces. 3 log microbial reduction was recorded on coated surfaces in the first month. After six months, total biomass on control surfaces reached 1.28 × 1012 cell cm−2, while the biomass on nano-silica coated surfaces was 6.3 × 104 cell cm−2.

Northern Italy has been one of the European regions reporting the highest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. The pandemic spread has challenged the National Health System, requiring reallocation of most of the available health care resources to treat COVID-19-positive patients, generating a competition with other health care needs, including cancer. Patients with cancer are at higher risk of developing critical illness after COVID-19 infection. Thus, mitigation strategies should be adopted to reduce the likelihood of infection in all patients with cancer. At the same time, suboptimal care and treatments may result in worse cancer-related outcome. In this article, we attempt to estimate the individual risk–benefit balance to define personalized strategies for optimal breast cancer management, avoiding as much as possible a general untailored approach. We discuss and report the strategies our Breast Unit adopted from the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak to ensure the continuum of the best possible cancer care for our patients while mitigating the risk of infection, despite limited health care resources.

Implications for Practice

Managing patients with breast cancer during the COVID-19 outbreak is challenging. The present work highlights the need to estimate the individual patient risk of infection, which depends on both epidemiological considerations and individual clinical characteristics. The management of patients with breast cancer should be adapted and personalized according to the balance between COVID-19-related risk and the expected benefit of treatments. This work also provides useful suggestions on the modality of patient triage, the conduct of clinical trials, the management of an oncologic team, and the approach to patients’ and health workers’ psychological distress.

The HERe2cure project, which involved a group of breast cancer experts, members of multidisciplinary tumor boards from healthcare institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was initiated with the aim of defining an optimal approach to the diagnosis and treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer. After individual multidisciplinary consensus meetings were held in all oncology centers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a final consensus meeting was held in order to reconcile the final conclusions discussed in individual meetings. Guidelines were adopted by consensus, based on the presentations and suggestions of experts, which were first discussed in a panel discussion and then agreed electronically between all the authors mentioned. The conclusions of the panel discussion represent the consensus of experts in the field of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The objectives of the guidelines include the standardization, harmonization and optimization of the procedures for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, all of which should lead to an improvement in the quality of health care of mentioned patients. The initial treatment plan for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer must be made by a multidisciplinary tumor board comprised of at least: a medical oncologist, a pathologist, a radiologist, a surgeon, and a radiation oncologist/radiotherapist.

Published: May 2020

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, Italy has been one of the most affected countries in Europe and the second for number of deaths. In this commentary, we discuss some lessons that we learned as healthcare providers working in a large public hospital during the pandemic, with a special focus on the importance of infection containment and early diagnosis, the role of swab, serological tests, home isolation and individual protection devices,  and the available therapies and management indications to better face a possible new outbreak in the near future. These comments should stimulate a more diffused, efficient and efficacious management of COVID-19 patients, also reducing the number of accesses to hospital emergency departments and the related spread of the infection.

Purpose of examination / Clinical relevance At the end of 2019, several pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, China and the pathogen was confirmed as a new viral strain. World Health organization has named the newly identified coronavirus as 2019-nCoV, also known as SARS-Cov-2. The disease developed into a dangerous pandemic, posing major challenges to the NHS. Although more research is necessary to better understand the virus, in response to the emergency, simple and rapid testing is essential to identify the virus in infected individuals. This will aid the implementation of efficient interventions to contain the spread, and distinguish healthcare workers who have been infected, and are required to self-isolate, from those showing similar symptoms but which are not 2019-nCoV associated. The latter category may continue to work, alleviating stress on hard-pressed healthcare resources. 2019-nCoV is an RNA virus, and the diagnostic tests detect viral RNA in swabs from patient airways using a reverse transcriptase PCR assay. Samples are submitted to HSL, an accredited reporting laboratory, and transferred to the Crick for testing. The first step of the process is sample receipt at the Crick. This SOP describes the transfer of inactivated virus into plates for RNA extraction. Principles of Examination The assay uses the Hamilton robot to transfer 150 μl of 93 samples of inactivated viral media samples from Barcoded 2 ml tubes (Cat no. 72.694.005) to Barcoded 96 well Nunc plates (Cat no. 260251) maintaining sample identity. -- The authors wish to thank Heather Ringrose for support with the Hamilton liquid handlingworkstation.

Corpus software in EFL teaching: Examination of language exposure
Authors: Kudryashova A. V. , Rozanova Ya. V. , Sidorenko T. V.
Published: May 2020

Introduction. High-quality language education in technical universities requires its interdisciplinary relation to the content of highly specialised subjects corresponding to the training programmes aimed at instructing the future specialists. Educational materials in a foreign language are highly productive if they emphasise the terminology and professional vocabulary authentic to the current state of the scientific field.

The aim of the study presented in the article was to assess the validity of the lexical material delivered in the course “English for Business Communication”, to determine the selection criteria for this vocabulary as well as the methods for its assimilation and practical application.

Methodology and research methods. The applied corpus software enabled to obtain quantitative indicators of the distribution of foreign-language business vocabulary in the given training course. The lexical material being currently offered to students and the professional thesaurus identified via linguistic databases was compared with the use of comparative analysis and synthesis.

Results and scientific novelty. The lexical units (terms, set expressions), which are the most active in the business sphere, were identified on the basis of its frequency. The authors established the correlation between them and educational vocabulary, both from the perspective of its integration into the course without block concentration throughout the course of university training, and from the perspective of the variety of methods used to practice this vocabulary. It is concluded that the applied educational material needs to be substantially adjusted. The vocabulary does not completely reflect the realities of the business communication sphere and the distribution of active vocational vocabulary regulated by methodological guidelines does not entirely contribute to its strong assimilation. According to the authors, the necessary changes to the approaches and methods for selecting and compiling lexical material and to the methodology for designing a foreign language course should be made on the basis of integrating pedagogical and linguistic knowledge, in particular, the methodology of teaching foreign languages and the corpus linguistics.

Practical significance. The ways of integrating corpus programs in the process of developing the content of language disciplines, which are part of the main educational program of technical universities, are demonstrated as one of the methods to increase the effectiveness of teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties.
Factors affecting conversion rates in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a single surgeon study
Authors: Moger Jayant , Badiger Suresh
Published: May 2020

Background: There is need for conversion in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in some special situation to open cholecystectomy (OC) in order to minimize intraoperative and post-operative complications. The risk factors may be patient related, the gallbladder’s pathology and the surgeon. Most studies with regards finding the risk factors for conversion in LC involved multiple surgeons which is one of the factors. Our study is prospective study where in all cholecystectomy were done by the single surgeon so as to find out other risk factors for conversion.Methods: This was a prospective study conducted between January 2017 to 2020, where in a total 152 patients posted for LC and 27 got converted to OC. The factors analyzed were the age and sex of the patient, elective or emergency surgery, acute or chronic cholecystitis, comorbid conditions, previous abdominal surgery, post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, intra operative adhesions, intraoperative complication like bile duct injury, bleeding from cystic artery or gall bladder bed, bile leak.Results: Out of 152 patient 27 (17.8%) got converted to open cholecystectomy. Mean age was 48.86 with lowest 15 and highest age operated was 83 years, among them 63 (41.4%) were male and 89 (56.8%) were female. Fibrosis at Calot’s triangle, intraoperative adhesions, cirrhosis of liver and age older than 60 years, were all signiﬁcantly correlated with an increased conversion rate to laparotomy.Conclusions: The risk factors may help to predict the diﬃculty of the procedure. This would permit the surgeon to better inform patients about the risk of conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy.

Authors: Mota Leonardo De Araujo e , Marques Andreya Dessoles
Published: May 2020

O processo de remodelação urbana vivenciado pelas grandes e médias cidades brasileiras entre o final do século XIX e XX, promoveu a segregação urbana das classes populares, em virtude de um discurso higienista, que associava à pobreza a ausência de higiene e em consequência, responsabilizava as classes menos favorecidas pela propagação de endemias no burgo, criando periferias no entorno da cidade, desprovidas de qualquer infraestrutura, favorecendo a proliferação de arbovírus nestes territórios. O estudo buscou investigar como a segmentação dos grupos sociais no tecido urbano e a desigualdade no acesso aos recursos sanitários no município de Campina Grande/PB influenciaram a distribuição espacial dos casos de arboviroses. O percurso metodológico da investigação fez uso da pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, constituída por meio da análise de livros de referência, documentos do Ministério da Saúde, Boletins Epidemiológicos da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Campina Grande e pesquisa em meios eletrônicos científicos especializados.

Published: May 2020

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to determine the role of education in shaping the well-being of the people in Selangor, Malaysia. Specifically, we traced the linkages between education and three well-being attributes: economic, health, and emotion.

Methodology: To collect the data, this study distributed a survey questionnaire to 1304 people in 12 municipalities of Selangor, Malaysia. The questionnaire recorded information about the people’s agreement on a variety of statements related to well-being and education. Besides, demographic information was also collected for demographic profile analysis. To analyze the data, we utilized the SmartPLS3 to test the SEM-PLS model.

Main Findings: The SEM-PLS results revealed education significantly linked with emotions. The main aspect of education responsible for shaping emotion is access to good education providers in their area. We traced the number of books at home that were positively associated with their emotions. To our surprise, the results showed no significant effect of education on the economic and health among Selangorians.

Applications of this study: This study is relevant for the Malaysian society, especially the Selangorians. Specifically, this study contributes to education policymaking on ensuring people’s access to quality education which can enhance their quality of life. More attention should be given to education as this study has documented that education shapes one’s emotion. Having a stable emotion will indirectly lead to better citizens.

Novelty/Originality of this study: Though contradicting established research, this finding is reflective of the behavior and trends of the current generation. Today, people do not rely on formal education to strive for success. A healthier lifestyle could also be a product of the health-aware community more than the result of education. However, living with a good economy and health could be meaningless if our emotional state is not good. Therefore, this study concludes that to have a happier community, authorities need to ensure a good education system is available to serve and educate the people and their children.

Authors: Tentama Fatwa , Merdiaty Netty
Published: May 2020

Purpose: This study aimed to empirically examine the role of entrepreneur intention and responsibility on the employability of students who attend State Vocational High School 1 Kalasan Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Methodology: The subjects in this study were students of class XII of State Vocational High School 1 Kalasan Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which amounted to 225 students. The sampling technique was obtained by cluster random sampling. Methods of collecting data used are employability scale, entrepreneurial intention scale, and responsibility scale. The data analysis used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis techniques.
Main Findings: The results showed that there was 1) a very significant correlation between entrepreneur intention and responsibility simultaneously on employability with R = 0.608, p = 0.000 (p<0.01). 2) a very significant correlation between entrepreneurial intention and employability with r = 0.171, p = 0.005 (p<0.01). 3) a very significant correlation between responsibility and employability with r = 0.603, p = 0.000 (p<0.01).
Applications of this study: This study shows that entrepreneur intention and responsibility has an important role in preparing students to get the knowledge and skills needed to get a job, and then applied in the workplace when graduates have worked. This results study also can throw light on strategies to be adopted to enhance employability in students of Vocational High School. It can also be used as a reference to prepare an entrepreneur's intention and responsibility skill training module to improve employability.
Novelty: To the best of our knowledge, psychology research about entrepreneur intention, responsibility, and employability of State Vocational High School students is still rarely done both in Indonesia and abroad.

In the Zaventem airport railway cutting, to the north-east of Brussels, the upper part of the Brussel Sand Formation consists of two major units, both attributable to calcareous nannofossil zone NP14a. The lower predominantly sandy unit ZB1 (including subunits A, B and C, belonging to NP14al) is built up of sparsely glauconitic, relatively coarse tidal current deposits with nodule levels cemented by carbonate and silica, of which one shows slumping structures and is interpreted as a seismite. The uppermost unit ZB2 (also labelled D, belonging to NP14a2), composed of alternating thin fine sandstone bands and silty marls, represents the fill of a large channel. In the Berg-Nederokkerzeel sandpit the carbonate-rich Brussel Sand Formation is finer grained and more homogeneous. Here, the basal sand (unit A) is attributable to NP14a3 and consequently, younger than the section exposed at Zaventem. It is incised at its the top by a rather narrow erosive gully, filled in with well-sorted fine sand rich in washed-in molluscs (unit B), some of which seem to point to a brackish influence. The extreme top is made up of half a meter of sand with abundant Callianassa burrows and echinid fragments (unit C). From the nannofossil data it appears that, east of Brussels, at least two generations of tidal channel systems seem to have occurred within the Brussel Sand Formation, followed by a partial emersion at the end of the filling of the uppermost channel (Nederokkerzeel B). This was succeeded by a relative sea-level rise, as shown by unit C and the remains of a completely eroded fully marine deposit, reworked in the base of the overlying Lede Sand Formation. The lowest relative sea level, with at least partial emergence of the Brussels area, occurred during middle to late Biochron NP14b. In both outcrops the Lede Sand Formation displays its characteristic pale grey relatively fine-grained homogeneous nature with a stone layer near its base. It can be concluded that, at the beginning of the "Lede transgression", an erosion of older deposits, containing already lifhified stone layers, occurred. This was, apparently, at least locally, caused by storms, which could redistribute, imbricate and turn over the stones, explaining their bio-perforation on both sides. Afterwards the stones have been above water for a relatively long time, enough to allow the dissolution of the perforating organisms and consequently an important oxidation of their surfaces. These stones have subsequently been colonised by a new marine fauna. Part of the shark teeth and calcareous nannofossil assemblages found in the coarse base of the Lede Sand is definitely older than the taxa normally found in the Lede Sand Formation. These fossils are the remains of a sediment package, believed to represent the formerly "Laekenian" stage.

During excavation works for the construction of the TGV track along the motorway Brussels-Liège (E40) near the interchange Tienen-Hoegaarden-Jodoigne a number of interesting, but only temporary outcrops were created. These outcrops offered not only the occasion to learn more about the stratigraphy, paleogeography and paleobotany of the Paleogene, but also revealed some particular deformation features.
The Outgaarden Section, SE of the interchange, showed chaotically deformed sands at the base of the Upper Paleocene Tienen Formation. The highly viscous deformation features originated in a high-energy depositional environment. Dewatering, mass movements and strong currents caused the syndepositional, probably gravitationally-induced sediment deformation.
The Goudberg Section, NW of the interchange, exposed the Overlaar Petrified Forest, of which part of the silicified tree-stumps were recovered to constitute the main feature of the planned GEOPARK HOEGAARDEN. In this section tectonically-induced faulting could be demonstrated. The fault shows a clear normal displacement. A sinistral strike-slip displacement is moreover supposed. Faulting occurred prior to the deposition of the Pleistocene loam cover but definitively postdates the deposition of the Ypresian clays. It is proposed that this faulting event in the Tertiary sediments may be caused by a reactivation of underlying master faults in the Lower Paleozoic basement of the Brabant Massif.
ANALISIS YURIDIS PUTUSAN PENINJAUAN KEMBALI TERHADAP IZIN LINGKUNGAN KEGIATAN PENAMBANGAN DAN PEMBANGUNAN PABRIK SEMEN OLEH PT SEMENINDONESIA DI REMBANG JAWA TENGAH, (STUDI KASUS PUTUSAN PK MA NOMOR 99/PK/TUN/2016)

Guna mengetahui kekuasan kehakiman yang dilakukan oleh lembaga peradilan dibawahnya sesuai dengan amanat undang-undang. Maka untuk mengetahui dinamika dan efektvitas penerapan UU a quo, penting untuk mengkaji putusan-putusan dalam peradilan tata usaha negara. Selain sebagai refleksi normatif, juga dapat menjadi semacam preseden dalam hal praktik di peradilan. Salah satu putusan yang menarik untuk dikaji adalah Putusan Peninjauan Kembali MA No. 99 PK/TUN/2016 terhadap izin lingkungan kegiatan penambangan dan pembangunan pabrik semen oleh PT Semen Indonesia di Rembang, Jawa Tengah.

Kepentingan hukum para Penggugat (legal standing) pada in casu a quo dapat dimengerti dengan mengacu dalam Pasal 65 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009 bahwa setiap orang berhak atas lingkungan hidup yang baik dan sehat sebagai bagian dari hak asasi manusia. Selain itu juga, Pasal 92 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009, organisasi lingkungan hidup berhak mengajukan gugatan untuk kepentingan pelestarian lingkungan hidup dengan syarat (i) berbentuk badan hukum, (ii) menegaskan di dalam anggaran dasarnya bahwa organisasi tersebut didirikan untuk kepentingan pelestarian fungsi lingkungan hidup, dan (iii) telah melaksanakan kegiatan nyata sesuai dengan anggaran dasarnya paling singkat dua tahun.
PANDANGAN TOKOH AGAMA TENTANG PENANGGUNGAN HUTANG PEWARIS OLEH AHLI WARIS, (STUDI KASUS DI DESA GONJAK KEC. PRAYA LOMBOK TENGAH)
Authors: Halimah Halimah
Published: May 2020

Fokus kajian dalam penelitian ini adalah praktik penanggungan hutang pewaris oleh ahli waris di desa Gonjak, dan pandangan tokoh agama terhadap praktik penanggungan hutang pewaris. Realita praktik penanggungan ini masih ada yang tidak sesuai dengan syari’at hukum  Islam  karena  masih  ada  para  ahli  waris  yang  membayar  hutang  pewaris dengan menggunakan harta pribadi ahli waris, dengan begitu para ahli waris berkesempatan untuk bisa mendapatkan  harta  pewaris  yang  ada. Metode  penelitian  yang  peneliti  gunakan  dalam penelitian  ini  adalah: pendekatan  kualitatif   dengan  menggunakan  teknik  pengumpulan data yakni  metode  observasi,  wawancara  dan  dokumentasi. Adapun sumber  datanya  adalah  data primer melalui interview warga dan tokoh agama, dan data sekunder melalui library research yang mempunyai hubungan dengan penelitian.

Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam praktik penanggungan hutang pewaris oleh ahli waris pada dasarnya boleh dilakukan atau sah menurut hukum Islam karena sudah sesuai dengan rukun dan syarat penanggungan (kafalah).  Namun  praktik  yang  dilakukan  di masyarakat  Gonjak masih  belum  terlaksana  sesuai  dengan  hukum  Islam  sebagaimana pandangan para tokoh agama ada yang membolehkan dan tidak membolehkan. Tokoh agama yang membolehkan mengatakan bahwa praktik penanggungan hutang pewaris di desa Gonjak ini dibolehkan karena sudah sesuai dengan rukun dan syarat penanggungan (kafalah), Sementara pandangan  tokoh  agama  yang  tidak  membolehkan mengatakan  bahwa  pembayaran  yang ditunda-tunda  bagi  orang mampu  itu  tidak  diperbolehkan  karena  awalnya  berniat  untuk menolong pihak  yang berhutang (pewaris). Kedua, jika ahli waris berniat membantu dengan mengharapkan untuk mendapatkan sebagian harta pewaris maka itu tidak dibolehkan karena itu bukan termasuk sifat tolong menolong melainkan ingin mendapatkan keuntungan.
KAJIAN SOSIOLOGI HUKUM TERHADAP ADAT KEWARISAN MASYARAKAT DESA MANGKUNG KECAMATAN PRAYA BARAT KABUPATEN LOMBOK TENGAH

Hukum  waris  merupakan  salah  satu  bagian  hukum  kekeluargaan, karena ruang  lingkup  pembahasannya  menyangkut  tentang  proses pelaksanaan pengalihan  harta  benda  orang  yang  sudah  meninggal kepada  anggota  keluarga yang  masih  hidup.  Dalam  pembagian harta  warisan  banyak  bentuk  hukum  yang mengaturnya,  seperti halnya  hukum  Islam,  hukum  positif   dan  hukum  adat  yang berkembang  di  kalangan  kehidupan  masyarakat.  Hukum yang digunakan masyarakat Desa Mangkung lebih dominan memilih hukum adat ketimbang hukum-hukum lainnya.

Adapun  yang  menjadi  pokok  pembahasan  dalam  skripsi  ini  adalah bagaimana  proses  pelaksanaan  adat  kewarisan  masyarakat  Desa Mangkung Kecamatan  Praya  Barat  Kabupaten  Lombok  Tengah,  dan mengapa  masyarakat Desa  Mangkung  lebih  memilih  menggunakan hukum  adat  dalam  melakukan pembagian  harta  warisan.  Penelitian ini  termasuk  penelitian  lapangan  (field research),  yaitu  penelitian yang  secara  langsung  ke  lokasi  penelitian  untuk melakukan sebuah pengamatan tentang fenomena-fenomena yang diteliti di lokasi penelitian  didukung  dengan  wawancara  dengan  pihak-pihak  yang terkait. Pendekatan  penelitian  yang  digunakan  adalah  pendekatan kualitatif   yang bermaksud  untuk  memahami  fenomena  tentang  apa  yang  dialami  oleh  pelaku  di lokasi  penelitian  baik  dari  segi  perilaku,  persepsi,  motivasi,  tindakan  dengan  cara deskripsi dalam bentuk kata-kata dan bahasa.

Hasil  penelitian  yang  diperoleh  menjelaskan  bahwa,  pembagian harta warisan  yang  sifatnya  terbagi  hanya  diberikan  kepada  ahli waris  anak  laki-laki, dan  harta  warisan  yang  sifatnya  tidak  terbagi hanya  diberikan  kepada  ahli  waris laki-laki  paling  kecil  untuk  dimiliki secara  pribadi.  Sedangkan  anak  perempuan hanya diperbolehkan membawa harta yang ada di anggota badan, seperti kalung, cincin  dan giwang  yang  tidak  termasuk  dalam  harta  bersama  dalam  keluarga, melainkan hak milik pribadi secara sah. 

Ada  beberapa  alasan  masyarakat  Desa  Mangkung  menggunakan hukum adat dalam melakukan  pembagian harta warisan diantaranya, karena masyarakat setempat  hanya  bisa  mengikuti  kebiasaan masyarakat  sebelumnya,  dan masyarakat  Desa  Mangkung  lebih memilih  untuk  menempuh  jalan  penyelesaian yang  lebih  cepat dengan  cara  musyawarah  dan  mufakat  untuk  memperoleh kesepakatan  antara  sesama  ahli  waris  demi  kebaikan  dalam  upaya menghindari perselisihan dalam hubungan keluarga.
MURABAHAH IN ISLAMIC BANKING SYSTEM

Islamic bank products have similarities but are not the same as conventional bank products because they have a ban on usury, gharar, and maysir. Therefore, approval and financing products such as working capital and investment in the form of sale and purchase agreements in Islamic banks must be avoided. sale and purchase agreement that has been discussed by Islamic scholars of muamalah is very much Islamic. The amount can reach dozens if not reached. Even so, of these many forms, there are three types of buying and selling that have been developed as the main support in working capital and investment financing in Islamic banking, namely, bai'al-murabahah, bai 'as-salam, and bai' al-istishna '.
