Authors: Sudaryanto Kasno
Published: July 2023

During this time, zakat and its management just ideal in level of discourse and theory, while the realization is always constrained by two things: the synchronization of management of zakat which is still partially addressed institutional and the distribution of zakat overlap between agencies. This has led to the potential for a national charity - in the range of Rp. 217 trillion to Rp eventually absorbed only Rp. 1.7 trillion.
Given this reality, East Java BAZ strives to formulate and implement measures that are considered able to eliminate or at least to minimizeâ€”the effects of 2 problems above. The initial thing to do is optimize the strategic plan through the actualization of the vision and mission of BAZ Java that is focused on optimizing the distribution of ZIS in order to realize the mandate of Law Number 38 of 1999 Jo. Law No. 23 of 2011 on Zakat.
Various forms of innovation regarding methods of distribution and ZIS revenue optimization continue to be encouraged and realized, with the ultimate goal of successful realization of zakat management function effectively and efficiently, for the welfare of the people and regional poverty reduction.

So many clients claimed to be pleased with the presence of KJKS BMT NU because many helps by developing effort through venture capital loan.
HAK KEKAYAAN INTELEKTUAL DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Wijayati Mufliha
Published: July 2023

Intellectual Property Right (HKI) is now becoming an essential issue. It does not only discuss individual protection, but it has been a part of global economic and political matters. Based on Islamic law, HKI is a contemporary issue which is still problematic and invites a lot of debate in relation with its existence. Is HKI legally recognized in Islamic Sharia? Even though MUI (Indonesian Council of Ulama) has already answered with fatwa, it still important to track the issue of intellectual property right in in the perspective of Islamic law. The issue of HKI is deliberated through the study of amwal and bathil in Al-Qurâ€™an (5: 9). The interpretation of both terms is linked with the theory of ownership and tasarrufil amwal in fiqh muamalah. This study shows that the schools of other than Hanafiyah state that HKI is a part of property ownership in the category of milk al-manfaah which must be respected. Everything that is detrimental to the owner of HKI is prohibited. The law enforcement related to HKI necessitates the involvement of government to manage it in a regulation protecting the HKI ownership.

PERAN KOPERASI FATAYAT NU AR-ROUDHOH RANTING BABAT JERAWAT-BENOWO-SURABAYA DALAM PEMBERDAYAAN EKONOMI MASYARAKAT BABAT JERAWAT
Authors: Herianingrum Sri , Maulana Alfin
Published: July 2023

Pemberdayaan ekonomi umat mengacu pada dua teori utama, yaitu aturan Islam dalam aktivitas ekonomi dan teori tentang pemberdayaan masyarakat. Dalam Islam, inti kegiatan ekonomi adalah keadilan. Penegakkan keadilan telah ditekankan oleh al-Qurâ€™an sebagai misi utama para nabi yang diutus Allah SWT, tentunya termasuk penegakan keadilan ekonomi  dan penghapusan kesenjangan pendapatan. Indonesia yang merupakan negara berpenduduk terbesar ke- empat di dunia dan mayoritas penduduknya beragama Islam, tentunya harus menjadi kiblat dari ekonomi Islam. Akan tetapi belum begitu banyak masyarakat Indonesia yang mengenal adanya ekonomi Islam dikarenakan sistem ekonomi konvensional yang telah begitu lama berkuasa di negeri ini. Oleh karena itu diperlukan peran serta dari pemerintah dan unsur- unsur masyarakat seperti organisasi kemasyarakatan yang berbasis agama dan lembaga-lembaga swadaya masyarakat yang peduli terhadap ekonomi Islam dan memiliki akses informasi yang luas kepada masyarakat. Lembaga keuangan mikro syariah yang beroperasi di Indonesia umumnya berbadan hukum koperasi jasa keuangan syariah (KJKS) dan baitul maal wat tamwil (BMT).

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif, yakni peneliti berusaha menjelaskan fakta di lapangan secara sistematis yang bertujuan menjawab pertanyaan tentang bagaimana pelaksanaan akad bayâ€˜ al-wafa>â€™  pada pembiayaan modal kerja anggota KSPS BMT UGT Sidogiri Indonesia Capem Tanggulangin Sidoarjo dan bagaimana analisis pelaksanaan akad bayâ€˜ al-wafa>â€™  pada KSPS BMT UGT Sidogiri Indonesia Capem Tanggulangin Sidoarjo.
Metodelogi penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Pengumpulan data penelitian ini dihimpun melalui wawancara dengan pihak terkait yaitu kepala capem, karyawan, dan anggota yang melakukan pembiayaan modal kerja dengan menggunakan akad bayâ€˜ al-wafa>â€™ . Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pola pikir induktif yaitu menjelaskan hasil penelitian mengenai fakta yang terjadi di lapangan yang selanjutnya dianalisis sesuai teori yang ada.
Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh adalah pertama, Pelaksanaan akad Bayâ€˜ al-wafa>â€™  di KSPS BMT UGT Sidogiri Indonesia Capem Tanggulangin Sidoarjo tidak sesuai dengan konsep pelaksanaan akad Bayâ€˜ al-wafa>â€™ . Hal tersebut dapat ditunjukkan pada skema pelaksanaan akad Bayâ€˜ al-wafa>â€™  di mana pihak pembeli (BMT) menyewakan kembali barang yang diperjualbelikan kepada penjual semula (pertama) dengan menggunakan akad bayâ€™ al-istighla>l; ketentuan barang yang diperjualbelikan menggunakan barang bergerak seperti sepeda motor atau kendaraan roda empat; cara pengambilan keuntungan dengan pembeli (BMT) menyewakan barang yang sudah dibeli kepada penjual semula (pertama), dan cara pembelian kembali barang yang diperjualbelikan pada saat jatuh tempo dengan mengangsur setiap bulannya. Kedua, pelaksanaan akad Bayâ€˜ al-wafa>â€™  kurang tepat jika digunakan pada pembiayaan modal kerja karena jika dilihat definisi dan aplikasi pembiayaan modal kerja lebih tepat jika menggunakan akad mud}a>rabah atau akad musha>rakah yang mana akad tersebut merupakan akad kerja sama dalam rangka mendapatkan modal dengan sistem bagi hasil.
Sejalan dengan hasil penelitian di atas, penulis dapat memberikan saran bahwa pihak KSPS BMT UGT Sidogiri Indonesia Capem Tanggulangin Sidoarjo diharapkan menggunakan ketentuan-ketentuan pelaksanaan akad Bayâ€˜ al-wafa>â€™  sesuai teori agar pembiayaan yang dilakukan sesuai dengan prinsip syariâ€™ah, kemudian juga memberikan pengawasan berkala terhadap perkembangan usaha debitur yang berubah-ubah setiap bulannya dan membantu dalam pembuatan laporan keuangan secara rinci agar memudahkan pihak debitur dalam menjalankan akad mud}a>rabah atau akad musha>rakah pada pembiayaan modal kerja.

Tradisi Filantropi Santri dan Personalisasi Institusi (Studi Tradisi “Salam Templek” dalam Kepemimpinan Kyai di Pesantren)
Authors: Yunan Atho'illah Akhmad
Published: July 2023

Penelitian dalam artikel ini ingin menjawab bagaimana personalisasi institusi Filantropi terjadi pada kepemimpinan Kyai di pesantren?, dan apa makna “Salam templek” dalam tradisi filantropi santri?. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui metode diskrptif analitis, dan data dikumpulkan dari wawancara mendalam dengan relawan yang bersangkutan dan dikuatkan dengan data tetulis dan dokumentatif yang berasal dari buku, jurnal yang relevan dengan tema. Hasilnya; 1) Personalisasi institusi filantropi terjadi karena kepemimpinan karismatik Kyai dan budaya pantron klien, karisma ketokohan dalam kepemimpinan Kyai dalam memimpin lebih kuat dari lembaga yang dipimpin, sehingga pribadi Kyai menjadi pusat pengambilan kebutusan, keputasan Kyai adalah keputusan institusi. Keputusan Kyai di atas keputusan lembaga, karena lembaga adalah subordinat dari personal Kyai; 2) Salam templek adalah wujud kedermawanan personal seoarang santri kepada gurunya secara sukarela, yang bermakna simbol ungkapan terimakasih, sedekah, hadiah, pengharapan berkah, permohonan restu, hingga permohonan doa. Santri percaya bahwa donasinya penting dan manfaatnya kembali pada yang berdonasi. Pendonasian derma ini dipersembahkan langsung kepada pribadi sang Kyai, lantaran kekuatan karisma personal Kyai berada di atas lembaga yang dipimpinya (personalisasi institusi), tradisi ini dalam relasi timbal balik Kyai-santri merupakan jawaban kedermawanan Kyai kantong bolong yang mewakafkan dirinya, hartanya bagi pendidikan santri, pesantren, dan masyarakat.

Abstract: This study aims to discover how students practice entrepreneurship and self-reliance at the Al-Azhar Muncar Islamic boarding school in Banyuwangi and Mukmin Mandiri Sidoarjo. The basis for selecting the research locus is that the two Islamic boarding schools have similarities regarding business practices in the field of buying and selling coffee. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The data obtained are primary in nature obtained by interviewing the leader of boarding school (Kiai) and field observations. Besides that, it is also supported by secondary data by examining relevant documents. The results of this study show that the entrepreneurship practices of students at Al-Azhar Muncar Banyuwangi are not the core of students' educational activities because the production and marketing of coffee are carried out irregularly. The independence of the Al-Azhar Muncar Banyuwangi Islamic boarding school also does not depend on the coffee business because the profits from coffee business practices are not absorbed for the benefit of the institution of boarding school but are intended to support the activities of the student organization. Meanwhile, the entrepreneurial practice of students at Mukmin Mandiri Sidoarjo is the core of the activities of the students because continuous production and marketing are carried out every day. The independence of the institution is also well established with the existence of the coffee business and other businesses carried out by the institution of boarding school.

Alpha Cell Stimulus-Secretion Coupling and Intercellular Interactions in Health and Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Pohorec Viljem , Zadravec Nika , Turk Marko , Dolenšek Jurij , Stožer Andraž
Published: July 2023

Beta cell dysfunction has long been thought to be at the root of type 2 diabetes pathogenesis; however, a bi-hormonal model of the disease appears to be more realistic. Alpha cells play a significant role in glucose homeostasis due to their communication with other cells within the islets of Langerhans and tissues like the liver through glucagon action. Although a concise model of their physiology is still lacking, new approaches provide more insight into the pathways of glucagon secretion and processes regulating it, which gives insight into alpha cell function in health and disease, with potential implications for type 2 diabetes management.
Impacts of the 2019 pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 on the quality of life of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases
Authors: Lah Domen , Holc Iztok
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and protective measures on the QoL of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) who received treatment at the Department of Rheumatology at the University Medical Centre Maribor (UCM-MB).

Methods: A questionnaire was sent to IRD patients who visited a rheumatology outpatient clinic or were contacted by phone or virtually at least once between February 1, 2020 and May 30, 2021. The questionnaires were included if returned to UCM-MB by January 1, 2022 and were completed correctly and in full.

Results: Of the 125 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 57 (45.6%) had no cancelled rheumatology appointments, 52 (41.6%) had one, 15 (12.0%) had two, and one patient (0.8%) had three. The most preferred mode of communication was in-person meetings with a rheumatologist (89%) and the least was a video call (1%). Only 2% of patients had problems obtaining medication during the pandemic, but none reported consequences with disease status. More than half (58%) of patients agreed with the restrictions during the pandemic and 5% stated the restrictions should be terminated. Most (70%) patients were vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 and 21% reported SARS-CoV-2 infection. The mean disease activity score (DAS-28) was 3.100 ± 1.292 (rheumatoid arthritis, 3.252 ± 1.209; psoriatic arthritis, 2.927 ± 1.376; p = 0.274; t = 1.101).

Conclusion: The pandemic and associated protective measures had deleterious effects on the QoL of IRD patients.
Different Psychological Processes in Traditional and ACT-Enhanced ERP for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Authors: Buchholz Jennifer L. , Abramowitz Jonathan S. , Hellberg Samantha N. , Ojalehto Heidi J. , Twohig Michael
Published: July 2023

Background:Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has been shown to promote willingness to experience intrusive thoughts among individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Exposure with response prevention (ERP) delivered from an ACT framework (i.e., ACT+ERP) may facilitate changes in how patients relate to their unwanted internal experiences.

Aims:Accordingly, the present study aimed to examine the effect of ACT+ERP on appraisals of intrusive thoughts, relative to standard ERP.

Methods:Forty-eight adults who received 16 treatment sessions as part of a randomized controlled trial comparing standard ERP to ACT+ERP completed the Interpretation of Intrusions Inventory (III) at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and follow-up.

Results:Results showed a significant main effect of time for all III subscales, suggesting that appraisals of intrusive thoughts shift over the course of treatment. The effect of the condition × time interaction, however, differed between the III subscales. Specifically, a significant interaction emerged for the control of thoughts subscale, such that individuals who received ACT+ERP experienced greater reductions in beliefs about the need to control thoughts. The interaction term was not significant for importance of thoughts or responsibility subscales.

Conclusions:Findings suggest that augmenting ERP with ACT enhances change in beliefs about the need to control thoughts, but not in beliefs about responsibility and the importance of thoughts. Clinical implications and future research directions will be discussed.

Comparison of Pixel-Based Classification Algorithms Using Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2 MSI for Land Use/Land Cover Mapping in a Heterogeneous Landscape
Authors: Vogiatzis Moschos , Eleftheriadis Ioannis
Published: July 2023

Satellite-based data classification performance remains a challenge for research community in the field of land use/land cover mapping. Here we investigated supervised per-pixel classifications performance under different scenarios, based on single and seasonal multispectral data combina-tions of different sensors (Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2 MSI). In case of Landsat, seasonal spectral indices (EVI and NDMI) were included. A typical Mediterranean watershed with a complex landscape comprised of various forest and wetland ecosystems, crops, artificial surfaces, and lake water was selected to test our approach. All available geospatial data from national databases (Forest Map, LPIS, Natura2000 habitats, cadastral parcels, etc.) are used as ancillary data for clas-sification training and validation. We examined and compared the performance of ML, RF, KNN and SVM classifiers under different scenarios for land use/land cover mapping, according to Co-pernicus Land Cover nomenclature. In total, eight land use/land cover classes were identified in Landsat-8 OLI and nine in Sentinel-2 MSI for an acceptable overall accuracy over 85%. A com-parison of the overall classification accuracies shows that Sentinel-2 overall accuracy was slightly higher than Landsat-8 (96.68% vs. 93.02%). Respectively, the best-performed algorithm was ML in Sentinel-2 while in Landsat-8 was KNN. However, machine-learning algorithms have similar results regardless the type of sensor. We concluded that best classification performances achieved using seasonal multispectral data. Future research should be oriented towards integrating time-series multispectral data of different sensors and geospatial ancillary data for land use/land cover mapping.
A Step Toward the Future: Using Machine Learning to Detect Leukemia.
Authors: Magotra Nakul
Published: July 2023

Leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow, a spongy tissue that secretes into the bones and serves as the site for the production of blood cells. One of the most prevalent kinds of leukemia in adults is acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Leukemia has non-specific signs and symptoms that are also similar to those of other interpersonal illnesses. The only way to accurately diagnose leukemia is by manually examining a stained blood smear or bone marrow aspirate under the microscope. However, this approach takes more time and is less precise. This paper describes a method for the automatic recognition and classification of AML in blood smears. Classification techniques include decision trees, logistic regression, support vector machines, and naive bayes.

Published: July 2023

This paper presents a novel investigation that establishes the uniqueness and analyticity of the fractional solution to a fractional electromagnetic boundary value problem (BVP). The BVP is defined by specifying the tangential electromagnetic components. It has been proven that the analytical expressions for the fractional electromagnetic fields Eα, E*α, Hα, and H*α do not vanish in any subregions Ωαo or Ωα - Ωαo. Furthermore, the unique solution makes Eα= E*α and Hα= and H*α without singular fields at same region of the space. Analyticity of the fractional time-harmonic electromagnetic field within lossy or lossless dielectric regions is proven. This paper is generalization of works [2,4] and [24,25].

Authors: lei chao , Xie Feng , Wu Fangchao , Yan Qiang
Published: July 2023

Bionic design of cutting tools to reduce working resistance and energy consumption has always been a concern of people. The curve of the rake face of beaver teeth is fitted and its general expression is obtained. The function is used in the configuration design of the bionic alignment of the front cutter face of cylindrical milling cutter, and the bionic curvilinear configuration rake face cylindrical milling cutter is designed. By constructing a three-dimensional milling simulation model of a cylindrical milling cutter, the cutting performance of a cylindrical milling cutter with a bionic collinear configuration and a cylindrical milling cutter with a flat front face was analyzed by comparing the milling simulation with a cylindrical milling cutter with a bionic collinear configuration composed of different combinations of front face collinear parameter values. The results show that the designed bionic collinear configuration front face cylindrical milling cutter exhibits certain force saving effect and is verified by right angle free cutting experiments, but its drag reduction performance is affected by the parameter values of the collinear. The optimized parameter values of the front face collinear of the tool with a certain side draft are obtained by genetic algorithm combined with finite element simulation analysis, and the optimal combination of collinear parameter values is obtained.

Previously, the presence of a blood-myenteric plexus barrier and its disruption was reported in experimentally induced colitis via a macrophage-dependent process. The aim of this study is to reveal how myenteric barrier disruption and subsequent neuronal injury affects gut motility in vivo in a murine colitis model. We induced experimental colitis with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), with the co-administration of liposome-encapsulated clodronate (L-clodronate) to deplete muscularis macrophages (MMs) in male mice. DSS-treated animals receiving concurrent L-clodronate injection showed significantly decreased MM-density compared to DSS-treated control (DSS-vehicle). DSS-clodronate-treated mice exhibited significantly slower whole gut transit time than DSS-vehicle-treated animals and comparable to that of controls. Experiments with oral gavage-fed Evans-blue dye show similar whole gut transit times in DSS-clodronate-treated mice as in control animals. Furthermore, qPCR-analysis on colon muscularis samples revealed that factors associated with neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration are overexpressed after DSS-treatment, but not in the case of concurrent L-clodronate administration. Our findings highlight that MM-infiltration in the muscularis layer is responsible for colitis-associated dysmotility and enteric neuronal dysfunction along with the release of mediators associated with neurodegeneration in a murine experimental model.

Background
Mental health and substance use disorders typically emerge early in life with impacts extending into early adulthood. Longitudinal studies are well-placed to investigate the progression of mental health and substance use disorders in adolescents. However, a significant challenge of longitudinal studies is sample attrition, or failure to retain participants. The impact of attrition may be reduced by understanding factors related to drop out, which can then be mitigated through optimised research design. To date, there remains a gap in the literature in determining characteristics of adolescent participants that are associated retention in school-based studies.
Methods
This paper aimed to; (1) investigate the baseline characteristics of adolescent participants who are retained in long-term follow-up research, and (2) retrospectively explore the effectiveness of methods used to retain adolescents in long-term follow up. Data from the Climate Schools Combined (CSC) study was used to understand which baseline participant characteristics predicted retention at either 60- and 72-month long term follow-up occasions. Of the 5,417 eligible participants, 1877 (34.65%; 61.40% female) were retained at either the 5- or 6-year post-baseline survey occasion. On average, participants were aged 18.5 years (SD = 0.60) at the 5-year follow-up and 19.9 years (SD = 0.50) at the 6-year follow-up.
Results
Being female (OR = 1.22, [1.03–1.45]), reporting grades between 80–89% (OR = 2.01, [1.21–3.32]) and 90–100% (OR = 2.41, [1.46–3.98]), higher self-reported depression (PHQ) scores (OR = 1.03, [1.02–1.05]) and higher mental health knowledge scores (OR = 1.08, [1.05–1.11]) at baseline were significant predictors of participant retention in long term follow-up.
Conclusions
Longitudinal clinical trial research is key to better understanding trajectories of mental health and substance use and the durability of prevention programs. Researchers need to be aware of the constantly changing technological landscape, including social media and shifting privacy policies, that may impact the ability to contact study participants. Researchers should consider these factors when designing retention strategies for groups that are more likely to drop out if they are to minimise the impact of missing data on results. This paper has outlined several practical strategies that can be implemented in future research trials.

Background:
The number of patients with non-palpable breast lesions has increased gradually. This is because of the technological development in imaging techniques and the screening programs that lead to early detection of breast lesions.
The aim of marking the non-palpable breast lesions is to achieve accurate lesion localization, to obtain the better cosmetic result with less tissue loss and to provide negative surgical margin.
Aim:the aim of the study is to compare the wire-guided localization (WGL) technique with the radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL) technique to assess their accuracy and efficacy in non-palpable breast lesions localization.
Methods:From January 2018 and June2022 a total of 670 patients underwent an excision for non-palpable lesions were enrolled randomly in ROLL group (n = 320 ) and WGL (n =350 ) at Baheya center for Early Detection and Treatment of Breast Cancer.
Results: There were no differences between the two groups in terms of age, localization technique.Both the localization time and the time of operation were decreased with the ROLL. Complete lesion excision with clear margins were reported in (88.2%) of ROLL patients and in (81.8%) of WGL patients. Reoperations were done as a second operation on16( 11.8%)of ROLL patients and on 29( 18.2%) of WGL patients.
Conclusion:This study shows that ROLL is as effective as WGL for non-palpable breast lesions excision. Also, ROLL improve the outcomes by decreasing the duration of surgery, localization time,achieving a higher percentage of clear margin in spite of lower specimen size and scar length.

This study proposes the relationship between fungal bioaerosols and biotic stress on crops using a case study on wheat leaf rust reported from northern India. We sampled and quantified the size-resolved fungal bioaerosols using the Next-Generation Sequencing technique from a wheat crop field during winter. Puccinia recondita, the fungal pathogen that causes wheat leaf rust, was identified during the study period. The pathogen is known for its frequent and widespread occurrence of new variants that causes disease-resistant crop varieties susceptible to infections. This reveals the need for frequent and systematic monitoring to prevent rust infection. In the current study, the size-resolved fungal bioaerosol characterisation was linked to the dispersal properties of the fungal propagules, and using a theoretical dispersion model, originating source and the areas of high risk for wheat leaf rust infection were identified. Our findings may serve as a vital reference for crop pathologists, agro technologists, environmentalists, and policymakers to expand the investigation on the biotic stress caused by the invasion of fungal bioaerosols on various crops and to implement preventive measures to ensure global food security.

Mycotoxin risks in grape and its products (wine, raisin) are widely concerned food safety issues, it closely associated with consumers’ health. In this study, an analytical strategy by combining second-order calibration method with excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence detection followed photo derivatization (PD) was explored for rapid and sensitive analysis of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEA) in grape, raisin and wine. Except simple solvent extraction by ethyl acetate and concentration by vacuum distillation, samples don’t need other complicated treatment steps any more. With the aid of predominant second-order advantages of alternative trilinear decomposition (ATLD) algorithm, ‘pure’ spectra and quantitative signals of targeted mycotoxins can be resolved from the heavily interfered EEM profile of sample even in the presence of spectral overlaps and unknown backgrounds. The recoveries of AFB1, OTA and ZEA in four kinds of samples are in the range of 90–110%, the limits of detection (LODs) were low to 0.1 µg kg− 1, 0.5 µg kg− 1 and 0.8 µg kg− 1, respectively. This analytical strategy may be as an alternative method for improving mycotoxin analysis in complex food matrices and ensuring food safety in grape industry.
