Theo-Anthropocentric Paradigm on Qur’anic Interpretation in the Modern-Industrial Era; A Review of Cultural Interpretation by Cliffort Geertz
Authors: Muqtada Muhammad Rikza
Published: September 2023

This article describes the interpretation of the Qur’an with the theo-anthropocentric paradigm as a solution in responding to the crisis experienced by Muslims in the modern industrial era. The backwardness of Muslims in the current era is more due to their perspective on their religion, which is still within the traditional-agrarian framework of thinking. For this reason, a solution is needed to view interpretation in the modern industrial era. The research method used is descriptive-analytical with the cultural interpretation framework of Cliffort Gertz. The finding is that the perspective of interpretation in the modern-industrial era will always be related to the discourse on the development of Islamic studies, which includes three things; religious texts (Qur'an and Hadith), religion (Islam), and society (Muslims). Through Geertz's conception of cultural interpretation, the Qur’an becomes a symbol of a religious phenomenon that can be understood through the community's social activities. This conception necessitates that the Qur’an is part of that culture and will continue to dialogue and adapt to the changing paradigms of the times. In this context, the interpretation of the Qur’an in the modern-industrial era must apply a theo-anthropocentric paradigm, namely by developing a religious interpretation that is theologically in line with faith in Allah, epistemologically by human experience, and axiologically in favor of human destiny.

This research focused on evaluating the technical viability of using biodiesel with a blending ratio of 40% v/v, which is expected to be implemented soon in Indonesia. Two kinds of biodiesel blends were prepared, a blend of 60% diesel fuel and 40% biodiesel (B40) and a blend of 60% diesel fuel, 30% biodiesel, and 10% hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) (B30D10). The fuels were tested on EuroII vehicles without any engine modifications through a 50,000 km endurance road test. Laboratory tests were also performed at certain traveled distances to evaluate various engine parameters, including power, fuel economy, exhaust emissions, and used engine oil properties. Engine components were inspected upon the completion of the road test. Cold-start ability was also examined to confirm the suitability of the investigated biofuels at low-temperature operating conditions in Indonesia. The road test results showed that vehicles fuelled with B40 and B30D10 could reach a distance of 50,000 km without encountering any technical issues. The laboratory evaluation during the road test indicated that B30D10 had a higher power and fuel economy than B40, with a maximum difference of 2%. Furthermore, B30D10 emitted lower CO, HC, and PM emissions than B40 throughout the distance traveled, with maximum differences of 11.4%, 14.7%, and 22.6%, respectively, but led to 15% higher NOx. Engine component inspection and used engine oil analysis confirmed the fulfillment of the manufacturer's recommendations for both B40 and B30D10. Finally, B40 and B30D10 were suitable for operating at low ambient temperatures in Indonesia, confirming them as practical options to be implemented in the nationwide 40% biodiesel blend fuel.

Authors: Osejo-Bucheli Camilo
Published: September 2023

El artículo tiene como objetivo revisar, sintetizar, reorganizar y presentar las ideas sobre el desarrollo económico en América Latina en materia de educación e innovación identificadas por Andrés Oppenheimer. Basado en la tesis llevada a cabo por Oppenheimer, el artículo presenta un análisis comparativo con las ideas planteadas por el pensador anarquista Errico Malatesta, y destaca sus coincidencias, diferencias y posibles contribuciones de las ideas anarquistas de organización a la mejora de la educación y la innovación actual en Latinoamérica.

Published: September 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la implementación de armas menos letales en la Policía Nacional de Colombia de 2000 a 2021, ya que su uso ha venido en aumento, así como los conflictos devenidos de la aplicación de la fuerza en escenarios de movilización social. Para esta labor se abordan las funciones y límites del uso de armas menos letales y su auge; así como el marco normativo internacional que guía su implementación; las reglas de uso y clasificación en Colombia, en especial la capacitación y algunas posturas jurisprudenciales y de expertos sobre la implementación de armas menos letales en el país. En cuanto a la metodología, se utilizaron técnicas cualitativas como el análisis documental y la entrevista semiestructurada; también, se empleó la técnica cuantitativa de análisis de datos agregados sobre la capacitación e instrucción en el uso de armas menos letales. Las conclusiones indican que la implementación de este tipo de armas es una necesidad dentro de los Estados de derecho, pero su uso requiere de una capacitación rigurosa, que involucre no solo aspectos técnicos de las armas en sí mismas, sino sustanciales, relacionados con derechos humanos y fundamentales.
Análisis crítico de la Jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos para la población desplazada y refugiada, en el caso colombiano
Authors: Cardenas Mesa John Arturo
Published: September 2023

El objetivo general de este artículo es ofrecer un análisis de las medidas de reparación ordenadas por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos para la población desplazada y refugiada por la violencia, específicamente en los casos colombianos litigados hasta la fecha (1997-2022). Para ello se hace una somera conceptualización sobre el desplazamiento forzado y el estatus jurídico de los refugiados; posteriormente se hace alusión a los casos colombianos en los que se ha declarado la vulneración del artículo 22 de la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos para, en primer lugar, establecer las compensaciones económicas que se han fijado para estas víctimas por concepto de daño inmaterial y, en segundo lugar, estudiar las medidas de restitución en su favor. Esto permitió llegar a tres conclusiones: 1) no existe un criterio objetivo y verificable de compensación económica del daño inmaterial en materia de indemnización para la población desplazada; 2) está en ciernes un criterio de compensación económica para las víctimas refugiadas; 3) las medidas de reparación no pecuniarias en el sistema interamericano de derechos humanos para la población desplazada y refugiada cumplen una función simbólica, pero carecen de eficacia material.

Published: September 2023

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene por finalidad analizar los instrumentos de planificación del ordenamiento territorial en la cuenca baja del río Ica, la relación que existe con la actividad agroexportadora y con las actividades poblacionales urbanas. Para ello, el primer documento que se revisó es el Centro Nacional de Planeamiento Estratégico ya que en este se establecen los planes, indicadores y estrategias a nivel nacional, estos estarán ligados a los planes que cada institución debe desarrollar para concluir con la meta trazada. De la misma manera se revisaron los instrumentos técnicos sustentatorios, instrumentos de gestión territorial y urbana, donde el PAT y el PDU fue promulgado luego de presentar retrasos según el cronograma publicado. En los inicios del boom de las agroexportadoras en el valle viejo no existía una fiscalización ni control por parte de las autoridades hacia el recurso hídrico, por lo que el problema de la escasez hídrica se fue incrementando de manera exponencial conforme pasaban los años. No es hasta la condición de «zona de veda» donde las medidas por preservar este recurso se hicieron presentes y en consecuencia, hubo un mejor control y fiscalización por parte de la ANA; sin embargo, uno de los inconvenientes que presenta dicha autoridad es no tener la capacidad de ejercer una función sancionadora, ya que solo cumplen con el papel fiscalizador, así lo mencionó una representante de la Autoridad Administrativa del Agua (AAA Chaparra - Chincha) en una pequeña entrevista. También se llevó a cabo la entrevista a un poblador voluntario del distrito de Ica, que relató las carencias que sufren los pobladores con respecto al servicio de agua potable, además se refirió a que no cuentan con un adecuado servicio con respecto a su calidad y permanencia, lo cual traería repercusiones en su salud a futuro.

Lifestyle as a Branding Strategy for the Sustainable Brand
Authors: Scozzese Giancarlo , Gelli Margherita
Published: September 2023

The increasing need for concrete action to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis is pushing the younger generation towards more sustainable lifestyles to demand that companies pay more attention to the environment, human rights, and more general issues of social justice. Today, distrust of institutions is at an all-time high, and consumers expect more from the companies to which they are attached. At this point, brands can make a positive contribution to addressing these issues. On this basis, it becomes clear how important this can be for corporate strategy, as the companies that are able to inspire and earn long-term loyalty are the ones that are able to take on the role of point of reference in the society. The assumed role is crucial in the purchasing decisions of more conscious consumers and can be achieved, for example, through a brand position on a social issue or by offering a value system rather than a lifestyle proposition. It helps a brand that represents the lifestyle of a group of people driven by a strong desire to belong there and disrupt the status quo, to connect with customers and make its offer competitive. A lifestyle brand characterised by high symbolic power and a strong emotional connection with its target audience, by offering action to protect the environment, stimulates cultural change that appears critical in relation to hyper-consumption and the resulting environmental impact. This, however, enables its customers to gain greater satisfaction from their purchasing choices and represents a real opportunity to build a sustainable brand.

Published: September 2023

Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the most common cause of sudden death in athletes, accounting for 75% of all deaths during activity and sports. In order to preserve athletes' lives, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and on-site defibrillation with an Automated external defibrillator (AED) should be undertaken immediately. Thus, observers ought not to hesitate in performing cardiac compression to restore circulation.
Aim: to increase the number of coaches or teams commencing CPR and so improve the opportunities of survival after sudden cardiac arrest.
Material and Methods: By collecting a total of ten studies, this article implements a literature review methodology to evaluate CPR administration in occurrences of SCA among field athletes. CPR administration, on-field sports, SCA, and athletes as subjects are the study's main objectives.
Results: In accordance with the study's results, administering AEDs earlier is more effective. The majority of cardiac arrests in the field aren't treated immediately and accurately, which leads to fatalities. Because a cardiac arrest occurring during the first 10 minutes is critical for the athlete's survival, each minute lowers the athlete's chances of surviving by 7-10%.
Conclusion: SCA in athletes is a serious medical condition that frequently results in death. To save athletes' lives, CPR and on-site defibrillation using an AED must be performed immediately.

Authors:   UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh, Dzihninafira Haifa , Hamdan Abd Mujahid , Razi Fachrul
Published: September 2023

The Company's input pipes contained microplastics, per the preliminary test findings. While the water yield produced by PDAM Tirta Daroy contains 150 particles/L, the Tirta Daroy Drinking Water Area has 275 particles/L. Microplastics found in the water pose a major risk to living beings if they are consumed. This work aims to characterize the properties, flux, and polyethersulfone (PES) membrane rejection coefficient, which were made utilizing the phase inversion technique with a solvent and additives called N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In Sungai Krueng Aceh, titanium dioxide (TiO2) is utilized to filter out microplastics from the water. Results of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) examination of Membrane Morphology demonstrate that the resulting membrane is an asymmetrical membrane of two layers, the upper layer relatively thin and the lower layer porous. When compared to the PES membrane when it was 15% DMF/TiO2, the 20% DMF/TiO2 membrane exhibits a finger-like cross-sectional structure called a macrovoid) with more and larger numbers. Analysis of the microplastic rejection coefficients proved the effectiveness of PES, DMF, and TiO2 membranes in removing microplastics. Results of tests on the effectiveness of rejecting microplastics after undergoing process filtration with a microplastic rejection coefficient of 94% and 14.2 particles/L utilizing a 20% PES/DMF/TiO2 membrane Performance of PES membranes: The PES membrane with 20% DMF/TiO2 has a water flux of 0.467 L/m2.hour compared to 15% DMF/TiO2 0.733 L/m2.hour. This study's findings on membrane Ultrafiltration have the potential to be used as a water filter standard in PDAM.

Love as Method: Tracing the Contours of Love in Black and African Feminist Imaginations of Liberation
Authors: Kiguwa Peace
Published: September 2023

What imaginations of the self are evident in Black and African feminist visions of Black liberation? How is love framed as a centring politics of Black liberation across social and political struggles? These two questions address two features of Black and African feminist social justice politics: first, a re-imagining of the self via routes of the communal self and love of oneself; and, second, a centring of love as fundamental to any project of Black liberation. Exploring these two trajectories, the article engages gendered love in terms of its material and affective registers within feminist struggles for justice and healing. To do this, select readings of African and Black feminist theorising, reflections, and activist works are explored including Pumla Gqola, Sharlene Khan, June Jordan, bell hooks amongst others. The intellectual diversity of these feminist contributions connects with reference to a feminist project that is rooted in (re)imaginings of love and self that are simultaneously personal yet also political. In the end, the project of Black liberation must address itself to the place of love in healing. The article explores what some of these features of love liberation could entail.

Authors: Boshoff Dorothea
Published: September 2023

Through the element of estrangement often present in science fiction, Australian author Marianne de Pierres presents a world, which, while very different from our world, highlights issues very relevant to it. Close reading and literary analysis of The Sentients of Orion reveal an impoverished planetary world where most characters are stripped of, or crippled in terms of displaying and accepting love, affection and emotional intimacy. With reference to the recently published dialogue between Rosi Braidotti and Nina Lykke ‘The Long March Through the Patriarchal Institutions’ (2021), this paper will demonstrate how the negative experiences of love and intimacy of female academics and scientists in The Sentients of Orion are contributed to by the academic system in which they are situated. The analysis will show how patriarchal academic institutions alienate female characters, thus impacting negatively on their choices in terms of sexuality and gender performance. While gender performance and the results of the presence or absence of intimacy in the novels are situated and bound by specificity, the paper aims to show how the lack of tolerance for individuality allowed by the patriarchal systems of knowledge making on Orion impacts negatively on female agency.
Love on the Rocks: Lighthouses in Literature as Gendered Geographies of Love
Authors: Gardiner Kelly
Published: September 2023

The lighthouse has long been a familiar setting for stories of love, conflict, and epiphany. That isolated tower on the clifftop brims with symbolic possibility and sometimes cliché, positioning it as a site of gendered love, with popular fiction titles embedding the trope of the contained world revolving, like the lit lamp, around the male authority. But the lighthouse also has an explicit historical situatedness. The nineteenth century British lighthouses, in particular, were seen as outposts of empire. They are immovable inscriptions of the outlines of islands, the edges of continents – the imprint of colonisation on country. And they are often seen as male domains. In the popular imagination, a lighthouse is much more than its function. Does recent historical fiction perpetuate or subvert what we think we know about lighthouses and the people who populated them? How does it portray the officially gendered roles and intense relationships of women characters? How might historical novels set in settler colonies recognise the specific meaning of the lighthouse as a marker of imperial authority? And how do we read the lighthouse and its place in the imagination as a geography of gender and love?

Paving blocks are concrete pieces placed in exposed places to the weather, which are sub-jected to loads and wear. Hence, quality control in the manufacture of paving blocks is es-sential to guarantee the properties and durability of the product in construction projects. In Ecuador, the requirements are described in the Ecuadorian technical standard "NTE INEN 3040", and tensile splitting strength is a fundamental requirement to guarantee product quality. It is analyzed using quality control measurements such as dimensions, the weight of the fresh paving block in the vibro-compacted process, and the percentage of water absorption in order to know how the variables influence and manage to predict the tensile splitting strength to avoid product non-conformity in advance, having a timely and better control of the manufacturing process. The data was obtained from a company that can produce 30 000 units per day of rectangular paving blocks with 6 cm thickness. Mul-tivariate models such as multiple linear regression, regression trees, random forests and neural networks are performed to predict the tensile splitting strength variable through two groups of predictors; the first group is the thickness mm, width mm, length mm, mass of fresh paving block g and percentage of water absorption %. The second group of pre-dictor variables is the density of the fresh paving block kg/m3 and the percentage of water absorption %. It is concluded that the multiple linear regression method performs better in predicting the first group of predictor variables with a mean square error (MSE) of 0.110086, followed by the neural network without hidden layers resulting in an MSE of 0.112198. The best method for the second set of predictors was the neural network with-out hidden layers with a mean square error ( MSE ) of 0.112402, closely followed by the multiple linear regression model with an MSE of 0.115044.
Effect of Partial Root-Zone Drying Irrigation System and Regular Deficit Irrigation in Water Saving and Yield of Greenhouse and Open Field Cucumbers in Saudi Arabia

Water resources worldwide are limited, especially in desert areas like Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the rational and sustainable management of irrigation water supply is an imperative required by the conditions of space and time. This study evaluates the irrigation system through partial root-zone drying (PRD) and regulated deficit irrigation (RDI). The effect of applying the PRD and RDI systems on the efficiency and rationalization of irrigation water consumption in a greenhouse and open field cucumber was studied in addition to using the surface (S) and subsurface (SB) drip irrigation methods on irrigation efficiency. The productivity of the RDI-S regular drip irrigation treatment was considered 100% as the control on which the results of all treatments are measured. The results showed that in terms of irrigation technique, the PRD-SB technique had the highest productivity during the winter season in greenhouse cucumbers, with a general average of 13.8 kg m-2 for all irrigation levels, while the RDI-SB technique had the highest productivity during the summer season, with a general average of 16.1 kg m-2. Regarding irrigation level results, the study showed that an irrigation level of 100% is the highest productivity in all irrigation techniques, with a general average of 14.9 kg m-2 for all irrigation techniques during the winter season and 16.4 kg m-2 during the summer. However, the increase in the irrigation level to 150% did not increase productivity. In comparison, the application of the deficit irrigation technique by reducing the level of irrigation to 50% was not accompanied by a similar decrease in productivity. The study results also showed that irrigation with the PRD-SB system was the most productive in the open field at all irrigation levels, with a general average of 7.3 kg m-2. The general average of the percentage decrease in productivity in all irrigation techniques compared to reducing the irrigation percentage to 50% and 75% was 22% and 3 %. The irrigation efficiencies were higher when applying the PRD (PRD-SB) in winter. In contrast, applying a deficit irrigation system (RDI-SB) in the summer season had the highest efficiency. It could be concluded that using PRD and RDI systems for indoor and outdoor cucumber can save irrigation water.

Background: Muscle wasting is a common phenomenon in oncology and appears to be alleviated by exercise training. This study aims to determine the degree of aggressiveness of cancer-induced muscle wasting in two different phenotypic muscles, and whether exercise training can attenuate this muscle dysfunction. Methods: Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four experimental groups, two control groups (sedentary and exercised) and two breast cancer model groups (sedentary and exercised) induced by 1-methyl-1-nitrosoureia (MNU). After 35 weeks of endurance training the animals were sacrificed and the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles were harvested for morphometric analysis. Results: A significant reduction in cross-sectional area (P < 0.05) was found in both muscles of sedentary tumor-bearing animals. Interstitial fibrosis was significantly higher in the gastrocnemius of sedentary tumor-bearing animals (P < 0.05), but not in the soleus. A shift from large to small fibers was observed in the gastrocnemius of sedentary tumor-bearing animals. Long-term exercise training was able to prevent this cancer-related mus-cle dysfunction. Conclusions: The Gastrocnemius muscle showed a very pronounced reduction in cross-sectional area and marked interstitial fibrosis in sedentary animals with tumors. The soleus muscle showed a less pronounced but significant reduction in cross-sectional area, and collagen deposition did not differ between tumor groups. These contrasting results confirm that can-cer-induced muscle wasting can affect specific fiber types, and specific muscles, namely fast glycolytic muscles, and that exercise training can act to improve it.

Published: September 2023

We have investigated the effect of electron-beam irradiation by a forevacuum-pressure plasma-cathode electron source on the surface roughness and hardness of Al2O3- and AlN-based ceramics. The roughness increases with increasing temperature of the processed surface, while the hardness slightly decreases. For aluminum nitride ceramic, we find that the thermal conductivity increases by a factor of 1.5 to 2 depending on the electron-beam irradiation regime.
