This study aimed to develop an Arabic teaching module based on the Merdeka curriculum for grade IV of Asasalam Islamic Elementary School Bandar Lampung and to analyze educators’ and students’ responses to the teaching module. A teaching module is an important part of learning implementation. Moreover, the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum must also be harmonized with the existence of teaching module. However, Assalam Islamic Elementary School in Bandar Lampung, which has implemented the Merdeka curriculum, does not yet have a teaching module / teaching materials based on the Merdeka curriculum. The type of research employed in this study was Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model. Data collection involved conducting interviews with Arabic language subject teachers at Assalam Islamic Elementary School. The instruments utilized in this development included student questionnaires and product validation instruments. Data analysis techniques encompassed qualitative descriptive and quantitative descriptive methods. Qualitative descriptive analysis was utilized to process data from the review of material experts, media experts, and field practitioners' responses, including teachers and students. Quantitative descriptive analysis was derived from the results of product feasibility, represented in the form of product practicality. The validation results from media experts yielded an average value of 86%, while those from material experts showed an average value of 93%, categorized as very feasible. Furthermore, the average response from educators was 93%, falling into the attractive category. The responses from students in small group trials averaged 91%, whereas in field trials, the average was 83%. Based on the findings of this study, it is evident that the teaching module is highly engaging for use in the learning process.

Strengthening the Indonesian Bicameral Parliament: Siyasah Dusturiyah Perspective
Authors: Kosasih Ade , M Sirajuddin , Fauzan Fauzan , Kusmidi Henderi
Published: June 2024

This research aims at finding a strategy to strengthen Indonesia's bicameral parliament. It is a parliamentary system consisting of an Upper House and a Lower House. The Upper House, Regional Representative Council (DPD),  represents certain groups or regions, and the Lower House, House of Representatives (DPR), represents national interests. Ideally the position of the DPR and DPD is in an equal position, however the DPD arrangements in the constitution have a power but do not reflect the bicameral principle. If left unchecked, it can trigger regional dissatisfaction which threatens the disintegration of the nation. This research employed normative juridical research methods with a conceptual and statutory approach. The result showed that the DPD has made efforts to strengthen it through al-sutha al tasyri'iyah (formal amendments) but failed. Moreover, the DPD has also carried out legal reviews by the Constitutional Court (judicial review) but the results have not been significant. The most realistic way to strengthen the DPD and has never been used before is through a constitutional political strategy (siyasah dusturiyah) to create constitutional conventions by vetoing draft laws whose decisions are made without involving the DPD. Therefore, the Indonesian parliamentary system can run in the double check system and check and balance paradigm in maintaining democracy and regional autonomy. Thus, if the DPD has a strong bargaining position in parliament then the goal of forming a strong bicameral parliament can be established.

The presence of economic digitization has a lot of impact on the economy, one of which is Financial Technology in paying zakat  Not only does the conventional economic search get the impact of such technology, but the Islamic economy gets the impact. An example is the mechanism in Zakat. Zakat can now be done online through privately owned gadgets or other technologies. It certainly facilitates people, both zakat payers, and zakat recipients. However, not a few people have not fully implemented technological advances in their lives for several reasons. Therefore, researchers researched to find out the influence of online payment on the interest in online zakat of some people in Bogor City. The research was conducted with the dissemination of questionnaires containing several questions about the problem. The results of the study were tested with several statistical tests, such as data feasibility tests (validity and reliability tests), classic assumption tests (normality tests, linearity tests, and heteroskedasticity tests), and hypothesis tests to determine the veracity of the formulation of previous hypotheses. It is then analyzed using simple linear regression analysis to get to conclusions. The results showed that partial online payment influences interest to make a difference online. However, only 21,3% of its influence, the rest was influenced by other variables that were not present in this study.

Authors: Istan Muhammad
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to describe the concept of gold investment by business people today. Next show the concepts and views of Islamic economics regarding gold investment. The research method used is a literature review, by collecting various relevant documents. The results of the study show that there are differences of opinion in investing in gold, some prohibit it and some allow it. Scholars banned the majority of fuqaha from the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hambali schools. While scholars who allow it are Ibn Taymiyah, Ibn Qayyim, and contemporary scholars. The basis of the scholars who forbid it states that gold and silver are tsaman (price, means of payment, money), which cannot be exchanged in installments or installments, because this causes usury. Meanwhile, scholars who say may put forward the argument that gold and silver are goods (sil'ah) that are sold and bought like ordinary goods, and are no longer tsaman (price, means of payment, and money). Meanwhile, in terms of benefits, investing in gold is an investment that benefits investors in the long term.

The Effect of Highland and Lowland Living on Cardiovascular Ability: a Literature Review
Authors: Purnama Poni , Arsil Arsil , Syahrastani Syahrastani , Bafirman Bafirman , Zarya Fiky
Published: June 2024

This study aims to review the literature related to the influence of living in highlands and lowlands on cardiovascular ability. Highlands, with an altitude of more than 2,500 meters above sea level, have unique environmental characteristics such as lower oxygen levels, lower air pressure, and cooler temperatures. In contrast, lowlands typically have more stable conditions and higher oxygen levels. These environmental differences are believed to have a significant impact on an individual's cardiovascular ability. In this literature review, we evaluated various studies comparing cardiovascular parameters such as aerobic capacity, VO2 max, resting heart rate, and other physiological adaptations between populations living in highlands and lowlands. The results of various studies show that individuals living at high altitudes tend to have better physiological adaptations in terms of oxygen use efficiency and higher aerobic capacity. This is due to the body's adaptation to chronic hypoxia, which increases red blood cell production and oxygen transport efficiency. However, there are also some higher cardiovascular challenges at high altitudes, such as an increased risk of pulmonary hypertension and heart disease. In contrast, low-lying populations generally show more stable cardiovascular parameters but are less adaptive to hypoxia conditions. In conclusion, living at high altitudes and lowlands exert different influences on cardiovascular ability, with each environment providing its own advantages and challenges. More research is needed to understand deeper adaptation mechanisms and their implications for long-term cardiovascular health

The Impact of Digital Game-Based Learning on Children's Self-Efficacy and Reading Success
Authors: Mahayanti Ni Wayan Surya , Kusuma I putu Indra , Ashadi Ashadi , Rachman Dzul
Published: June 2024

Numerous studies have indicated that digital games offer a valuable learning experience for young language learners by fostering self-efficacy in English acquisition. Despite this, there remains a dearth of research investigating the impact of digital games on children's self-efficacy and reading achievements. The current study aims to fill this gap by examining (1) the impact of digital games on children's self-efficacy and (2) the effect of digital games on children's reading achievements. An exploratory sequential design was employed, integrating both quantitative and qualitative methods. The study involved 144 young learners in Indonesia who participated in eight treatment sessions using digital games as a learning tool. After these sessions, participants completed a post-test comprising 20 reading items to assess their reading achievements. Observations during the treatment sessions explored the implementation of digital games and their impact on self-efficacy, supplemented by interviews with 15 children to gain deeper insights into their experiences and perceptions. The findings revealed that digital games foster self-efficacy through four mechanisms: mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and emotional state. These mechanisms are integrated into the game's content, levels, feedback, and challenging activities. The implications suggest that carefully designed digital games can significantly enhance self-efficacy and reading achievements among young learners, offering educators a valuable tool for improving educational outcomes. Future research should explore the long-term effects of digital game-based learning and identify the most effective game features, while also addressing challenges such as equitable access to technology and balancing screen time with other activities.
Back to the Sites of Ḥurban : Poetic Reenactment and the Movement of Memory in Ḥayyim Naḥman Bialik's "Beʿir haharegah," and Paul Celan's "Engführung"
Authors: Rahamim Asif
Published: June 2024

Abstract: This article offers a comparative reading of two 20th century poems, each preoccupied with Jewish catastrophe: Ḥayyim Naḥman Bialik's "Beʿir haharegah" ("In the City of Slaughter"), and "Engführung" ("The Straitening"), written by poet and Holocaust survivor Paul Celan. Drawing on some of the recent developments in affect theory, the article asserts that these two modern accounts of Jewish ḥurban share a fundamental characteristic that speaks to the mechanism of poetic reenactment: an experiential reconstruction of the walk to and within the sites of destruction, which turns the readers of the poems into active participants in this experience. Such performative reading, which exceeds the rigid confines of mere representation, pushes constantly toward active and visceral interaction between reader and text, in the course of which questions of memory, belonging, and collective and subjective identity, are raised and reexamined. The artistic experience of destruction thus acquires constructive power, as literature becomes an active agent of memory, freeing the historical event from its rigid facticity and transforming it into an ongoing occurrence, taking place here and now, over and over again.

The aim of this work is to identify the chemical, mineralogical and physical properties of quartzites from the Kaélé deposit, in order to identify their potential applications. To achieve this, characterization methods such as X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and a furnace for melting temperature determination were deployed. The chemical composition of the quartzites determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry revealed that silicon oxide (SiO2) is the majority constituent, with a mass percentage of 99.02%. The X-ray diffraction spectrum shows only quartz as the mineralogical phase present in quartzites. Quartzites have an average melting point of 1725°C, which is close to the theoretical value and makes the materials studied pure bodies. The various results obtained highlight the high purity of the quartzites from Kaélé. High-purity quartz has numerous applications in high-tech industries. The main ones are semiconductors, high-temperature lamp tubes, telecommunications and optics, microelectronics and photovoltaic cells. Kaélé quartzites can therefore be considered as highly valuable local mineral materials in the above-mentioned fields.

Authors: Sanz-Gonzalez Marina , Molina-Alvarez Miguel , Rodriguez-Rivera Carmen , Pascual David , Goicoechea Carlos
Published: June 2024

Background: The understanding of neuropathic pain remains incomplete, highlighting the need for research on biomarkers for improved diagnosis and treatment. This review focuses on identifying potential biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid for neuropathic pain in different neuropathies. Methods: Searches were performed in six databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL. Included were observational studies, namely cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control, that evaluated quantitative biomarkers in blood or cerebrospinal fluid. Data were qualitatively synthesized, and meta-analyses were conducted using R. The study is registered with PROSPERO under the ID CRD42022323769. Results: The literature search resulted in 16 studies for qualitative and 12 for quantitative analysis, covering patients over 18 years of age with painful neuropathies. A total of 1403 subjects were analyzed, identifying no significant differences in levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) between patients with and without pain. Despite the high inter-rater reliability and adequate bias assessment, the results suggest negligible differences in inflammatory biomarkers, with noted publication bias and heterogeneity among studies, indicating the need for further research. Conclusions: Our review underscores the complex nature of neuropathic pain and the challenges in identifying biomarkers, with no significant differences found in CRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha levels between patients with and without pain. Despite methodological robustness, the results are limited by publication bias and heterogeneity. This emphasizes the need for further research to discover definitive biomarkers for improved diagnosis and personalized treatment of neuropathic pain.
Embracing uncertainty: foundations of a learning system for food systems transformation
Authors: Mausch Kai , Hall Andy , Hambloch Caroline , Conti Costanza , Hauser Michael , Abraham Salina , Hammond Philippa , Moallemi Enayat A.
Published: June 2024

We propose a transformative learning system based on a review of uncertainty emerging from system complexity. The framework is built on locally led action and embedded in a learning system that aiming at transforming the food systems. It is widely agreed that food systems need transformative change to meet societal goals. However, despite this agreement, the implementation of a systems transformation agenda appears to have stalled. We argue that the reason for this failure can be attributed to the complexity of the task and the inherent uncertainty. Based on a review of uncertainty and complexity in change processes, we outline a transformative learning system that has the capacity to achieve the intended transformation. This system requires shifts in roles and modes of operation to facilitate change and to learn about system responses to localized disruptive change. Focusing on the core functions of the new system, we discuss who and how this change can be triggered and how this, in turn, will change the operational modalities of people, the process of change, and the structures and institutions involved in the process. We argue that the foundations of uncertainty and the focus on learning inherent in the new system will facilitate a more agile process. This will allow actors to learn from decentrally pursued food systems reforms and thereby the organic emergence of heterogeneous pathways.

The study examined the household division of labour, and household power relations in access to domestic water services in rural areas. This study was conducted in Manyoni District in Tanzania, used a cross-sectional research design whereby primary and secondary data were collected usingÂ  questionnaireÂ  from 191 households randomly selected from two wards. In addition, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method was used to collect qualitative data. Quantitative data were analyzed for descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentages and inferential statistics the chi-square test. Qualitative data were analyzed by using content analysis. The findings show that due to the traditional gender division of labor at the household level, women were the major seekers of domestic water for their households although some indications of equity in the household division of labor were also reported between boys and girls. Furthermore, most of the non-monetary decisions on access to domestic water were assigned to women whereas men were involved in the monetary decisions like paying user fees. It was concluded that gender relations played a role in access to domestic water services in the study area. It was recommended that the government should provide more improved water sources in rural areas to ensure access to many households, hence, reducing womenâ€™s burden of fetching water from distant sources and improving the welfare of women in rural areas.JEL ClassificationÂ I26; J16; Q25To cite this article:Â  Mfinanga, F.

Market Analysis of FCEV Strategies for European OEMs
Authors: Bekar Abdurrahman , Fekete Milan
Published: June 2024

This paper assesses the potential feasibility of a stand-alone fuel cell electric vehicle market for Europe to be evaluated as a possible alterna­tive to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the global automotive industry. Here, the availability of hydrogen as well as the potential of the infrastructure asso­ciated with a fuel cell strategy must be considered. Taking into account the in­ternal and external situations in the area of geopolitics, raw material produc­tion and import dependencies as well as the social acceptance of fuel cell vehi­cles (FCEVs), an actual situation is to be derived that shows what opportunities FCEVs have in a European and international market. The aim is to make clear which entry barriers exist in the industry, but at the same time which poten­tials a European OEM entry has. As a result, it can be shown that an FCEV strat­egy in the current situation would theoretically be well achievable.

Authors: Vorina Anton , Bevanda Vuk , Vrcelj Nikolina
Published: June 2024

This research paper presents an original exploration into the cen­tral question: “What defines modern leadership?” It is imperative to empha­size that this study highlights the imperative for modern leaders to harness the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) without allowing biases to taint their decision-making process. In the past, the role of a manager was of­ten characterized by authority and command, where people followed direc­tions unquestioningly. In the modern business landscape, marked by rap­id changes, the impact of COVID-19, and evolving workplace dynamics, the nature of leadership has transformed. This study aims to explore mod­ern management practices by investigating scholarly papers and online re­sources from Google Scholar and Google Search, focusing on the period from 2021 to 2023. What we found is that modern leaders need to possess different skills. They should focus on building trust, persuading, and influencing people instead of merely giving orders, as was done in the past. Our research indicates that the ability to adapt, understand others, engage in lifelong learning, and demonstrate care are truly essential for leaders in today’s ever-changing business world. This research paper presents a novel perspective on modern leadership. It underscores that future leaders will leverage Artificial Intelli­gence (AI) to aid in problem-solving and boost productivity.

Published: June 2024

Over the past decade, cloud computing and virtualization have be­come one of the areas that increasingly capture the attention of the IT world. The significance and advantages of cloud platforms compared to tradition­al infrastructure systems are numerous. On the other hand, due to the open­ness of many services to the public network and the need for certain services to be accessible exclusively through secure and private networks, security in the cloud becomes a highly significant issue. In the first part of the paper, an overview of cloud service delivery models will be provided. The authors will then elaborate on some core cloud services and their security aspects in detail. Additionally, security mechanisms in a virtual private cloud will be explained.
How the Use of the Internet Affects the Attitudes of Serbian Citizens about Public Institutions
Authors: Dobardžić Alma
Published: June 2024

There is no doubt that digital literacy and the increasing use of the Internet are making economies more productive. The free flow of infor­mation and the ease with which it can be accessed means that informa­tion sources such as the Internet have a great influence on the formation of public opinion and the making of individual decisions. The article inves­tigates how the use of the Internet and the trust Serbian citizens show to­wards state institutions are connected. For this purpose, data from The Eu­ropean Social Survey (ESS) were used, in which more than 3,500 residents of Serbia were surveyed and the attitudes of Internet users towards the state of the economy, democracy, the work of the national government, the edu­cation and health system, as well as trust in the legal system and the police were examined. Respondents were categorized according to the frequen­cy of Internet use, age and gender. The results of the descriptive statistical analysis showed that the more often they use the Internet, the less trust res­idents have in the state. If we consider that young people spend the most time on the Internet, it is easy to assume that losing trust in institutions and responsible people can have very negative long-term consequences for the entire society.

Published: June 2024

Face recognition is a crucial and rapidly evolving field within com­puter vision and artificial intelligence. The human face is one important el­ement for recognizing a person in a group. The mechanism used by the hu­man brain for face recognition is not yet fully understood, making it a com­plex problem. Over the past decade, there have been significant advance­ments in both the accuracy and applicability of face recognition systems. Deep learning techniques, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have played a pivotal role in achieving state-of-the-art performance in face recognition tasks. This paper proposes a review of research on face recogni­tion techniques, algorithms and existing applications, with their advantages and disadvantages. It also includes a comparison of the results obtained with various algorithms and the related limitations. In the last part, it presents fu­ture directions of development in the field of face recognition.

Published: June 2024

In the last four decades, tourism has received greater attention from researchers in several sciences. Wine regions can attract tourists who, in their turn, will be a source of revenue for the wine producers in that region. Though considered to be a niche segment, the interest in wine tourism re­search has grown because the wine sector is not just about producing a bev­erage; it’s a multifaceted industry with significant economic, cultural, and so­cial importance both in wine-producing regions and on a global scale. It con­tributes to job creation, international trade, tourism, and the preservation of cultural heritage, making it a vital sector for many countries around the world. Overall, wine tourism has the potential to be a catalyst for regional develop­ment by attracting visitors, creating jobs, spurring investments, and support­ing local businesses. As a result, many regions around the world actively pro­mote and invest in wine tourism as a means of enhancing their economic and cultural vitality. Albania is new to the wine sector, so this paper aims to provide some useful in­sights related to the possibilities that wine tasting, wine tours, or wine-related events present to local businesses and for the creation of destination image.
