Authors: Syamsul Kurniawan  , Ihsan Nurmansyah  , Muhammad Adam Abd. Azid  , Bayu Suratman
Published: December 2024

Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah was initially reception by scholar (‘ūlama’) more as a text. Currently, Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah is reception by various practices in society, including being used as a medicine that is believed to cure diseases. The purpose of writing this article is to examine a belief in the efficacy of Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah, which can be an antidote to various diseases for the Malays of Pontianak and Singkawang. The method used is a qualitative research method analyzed with Ahmad Rafiq’s theory of functional reception. Data sources are obtained from observations, interviews, and related literature. The results of this article show that the informative aspect of the belief of the Malay people of Pontianak and Singkawang towards Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah, which is efficacible as an antidote to pain, in fact has a basis for a hadith of the Prophet, which reads, “Fātiḥatul kitāb is an antidote to various poisons.” While the performative aspect is that the Pontianak Malays recite Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah with one breath in a glass of water, then drink it to someone who is sick. In the Singkawang Malays, there are two stages: First, reading Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah, then pointing the thumb to the roof of the mouth, then rubbing it to the place where it hurts. Second, recite Sūrah Al-Fātiḥah into a glass of water, drink it, and rub it on the sick area. The transmission of knowledge received by the Pontianak Malays is sourced from Daeng Matse’s Mujarabat manuscript, while the results of the reception by the Singkawang Malays are sourced from the Daily Manuscript of Datok Ngah Dolah. This article of living Qur’an and hadith has resulted in an acculturative religious education process as a model of religious education practiced by some of the Malay communities of Pontianak and Singkawang.

Authors: Billah M. Mu'tashim , Sulaeman Mubaidi , Mohomed Carimo , Ubaidila Syafik
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of "Living Quran" within the context of cultivating piety among elderly congregants from two religious groups, Majelis Dzikrul Ghafilin and Semaan Al-Qur'an Jantiko Matab in Kediri. "Living Quran" refers to the practical application of Quranic teachings in daily life, shaping their personal piety contextually and deeply. The research employs field research with a qualitative approach, using participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis for data collection. Applying an anthropological approach, the study identifies distinct patterns of "Living Quran" practices among these elderly congregations. Findings reveal that Majelis Dzikrul Ghofilin emphasizes dhikr, prayer, and contemplation of Quranic verses to strengthen spiritual bonds and provide emotional support. In contrast, Semaan Al-Qur'an Jantiko Matab focuses on communal Quran recitation throughout the day, aiming to cultivate personal piety through Quranic recitation. Both groups' efforts highlight diverse yet complementary approaches to embodying piety among elderly congregants, contributing significantly to their quality of life. Theoretical implications include insights into variations of "Living Quran" practices and their social implications in local contexts, furthering understanding of religion's role in shaping elderly lifestyles and worldviews in society.
A Study of Racial Equality in Islam and Blackness by Jonathan A.C. Brown (Hadith Approach)
Authors: Budiman Arif , Handayana Sri
Published: December 2024

This study intends to analyze the racism addressed by a progressive Islamic Western academic Jonathan A.C. Brown in his book Islam and Blackness. Racism is influenced by a certain perception of race and blackness that originated in the Western world, particularly in the United States. This perception has had a significant impact on worldwide discussions and debates. Particularly, there is still an obvious distinction between black and white in the social sphere. Qualitative research depends on written material obtained through library research and is conducted through dialogue with primary sources. The analytical hadith approach employed is domain analysis, which is utilized for the purpose of exploration and content analysis. According to Brown, the issue of racial equality arises from varying ethnic preferences in different regions. Culture has a crucial role, thus, the components of attraction that are most potentially vulnerable to change are those influenced by cultural conditioning. Meanwhile, in the sharia tradition, the Prophet, serving as the primary advocate, explicitly commands the necessity of breaking the most severe social boundaries in his community. The most effective solution, therefore, is in the dedication of individual, community, and communal leaders to transcending the divisions of race, socioeconomic status, and culture. Jonathan A.C Brown properly explores the intersection of science and religion to realize the racial equality, specifically focusing on three levels of integration: the textual perspective, the scientific perspective, and the philosophical-transformative perspective.

Published: December 2024

According to William Graham, a text becomes scripture because of the relational relationship between the faith community and the text they consider sacred. The relationship is illustrated in various ways, such as receiving, reading, reciting, and treating the text with specific purposes. As a holy book, the Qur'an is also received by the faith community, one of which is a song. Recently, a viral song with the title Persona Guru was sung by one the Indonesian musicians, Raim Laode; according to him, in the song, there are quotations from the Qur'an, and the goal is that everyone who hears the song can be exposed to the word of God. In analyzing this phenomenon, researchers used qualitative research methods with the theoretical framework of al-Qur'an reception developed by Ahmad Rafiq and Wolfgang Iser's version of aesthetic reception, while to find out the implications of this song for netizens, researchers used the theoretical framework of mass communication effects consisting of cognitive effects, affective effects, and behavioral effects. The results of this study indicate that Raim Laode's activity of quoting the Qur'an in a song is included in the aesthetic reception of the Qur'an, and based on netizen responses, the song Bersenja Guru has cognitive effects, affective effects, and behavioral effects.

Tasks of structural mechanics in modeling the alignment of multi-storey buildings with jack systems
Authors: Panasiuk Leonid , Yazyev Batyr , Trufanova Elena , Firichenko A.
Published: December 2024

Uneven deformations of the base occur even during the construction of the building. They may increase during the life cycle. The very process of developing norms and methods indicates that the existing experience and scientific base are finite. Therefore, the scientific base does not allow us to fully take into account some of the impacts and features of the design. The operational reliability of buildings exposed to excessive precipitation and rolls can be restored by eliminating excessive rolls. The methods of eliminating sediments and rolls can be divided into two groups. The first uses the processes of local weakening of the base in those fragments of the building in the plan where additional precipitation is required so that the total precipitation approaches a uniform one. The following methods are used here: partial soaking of the base, installation of pits (including horizontal ones under the foundation), and transfer of additional loads to the base. The main disadvantage of this group of methods for eliminating uneven precipitation is the low accuracy of preliminary numerical modeling of a number of processes. The second group of measures provides for leveling the building by lifting it with a system of jacks. In this method, the sagging part of the building is lifted relative to the foundation. The article discusses the main steps in levelling a building by lifting. The main tasks of structural mechanic an methods of their solution are described, which will ensure the reliability of the structure at different stages of alignment.

Authors: Biju Gopal
Published: December 2024

To draw upon their experiences to assist in our internal dialogue and presentations, it’s important to say that sustainable tourism has an important place in dealing with global environmental, economic, and societal problems. The socioeconomic impacts of sustainable tourism development are reviewed and opportunities and challenges in measuring these impacts are examined. Key benefits of local well-being include employment generation, income distribution, community development, and preservation of cultural heritage. The problem persists: there are no standardized metrics for measuring sustainability, data collection problems in developing regions, and managing tradeoffs between sustainability goals. While tackling these challenges, innovations are occurring within the technological frameworks that are beginning to utilize Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and smart tourism practices to measure impact and resource management. Research and practice in the future must focus on upgrading governance structures, promoting community participation, and enhancing the linkages between tourism development and United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for long-term inclusive benefits. Tourism will contribute to global sustainability by integrating innovative technologies and strong policy frameworks to enable more adaptive, data-driven decision-making.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF FARMER PRODUCER COMPANIES IN MANIPUR– A CASE STUDY.
Authors: Thomas Chithung Mary
Published: December 2024

Agriculture comprises the primary source of livelihood for about 50% of India’s population. Yet its contribution to the GDP has declined to only 17% of the GDP at current prices. There are more than 570 million farms run by smallholder farmers operating in 12 % of the total agricultural land. These small farmers have no access to right inputs, lack of knowledge on modern farming techniques and lack direct market access. These farmers carried on farming activities only for their subsistence and not as a business opportunity, thus depriving them of earning a better livelihood. Given the support and direction, smallholder farmers would even transform the entire food and agriculture sector. The farmer producer organisation came to existence to empower the farmers by leveraging their strengths to enhance crop productivity and thereby realising profitable markets. The goal of farmer producer organisation is to increase farmer’s advantage in emerging market opportunities and their competitiveness.
मगही लोकगीतों के मूल में लोकतत्त्व का समन्वय

भारतीय लोकगीतों में समाज शास्त्र एवं उसकी सांस्कृतिक रूपरेखाओं का वर्णन हमेशा से होता आ रहा है। हम सभी जनते हैं कि लोक सहित्य के अन्तर्गत लोकतत्त्व की प्रधानता रहती है और इसलिए लोक साहित्य शिष्ट साहित्य से थोड़ा भिन्न माना जाता है। लोकतत्व सामान्य जीवन के माध्यम से लोकप्रवृति, लोकमानस, लोकसंस्कृति, लोकअभिव्यक्ति जैसे रूपों में वर्णित पाया जाता है। इसी तरह से पाँचों उपादान समस्त लोकगीतों में विर्णत रहता है। व्यक्ति के जीवन में उपस्थित ऐसी दबी हुई वसनाएँ एवं मनोकांक्षाएँ जो कहीं दबी पड़ी रहती है अथवा समय-समय पर शगुन उपशगुन या घोरनिद्रा में लिप्त व्यक्ति के स्वप्न के रूप में दर्शन देती है। कुछ लोकसाहित्य के विद्वानों की मान्यता यह भी है कि दबी हुई मनोकांक्षाएँ या वासनाएँ वर्तमान जीवन की न होकर अनुवांशिक भी हो सकती है। उपर्युक्त समस्त विशेषताएँ वर्तमान के लोकजीवन में किसी न किसी रूप में उपस्थित है। इसका यह भी कारण मान जात रहा है कि मानव मस्तिष्क में लोकमानस की उपस्थिति बनी रहती है। लोकमानस के मूल अवस्था में लोकप्रवृतियों का स्थान सदैव बना रहता है।

Published: December 2024

Manipur is a land of numerous religious and ethnic communities co-existing peacefully for centuries. Meitei-Pangal is one of the minority ethnic communities predominantly inhabited in the valley region of Manipur along with the majority Meitei/Meetei population. Since their settlement in Manipur during the reign of King Khagemba (1597-1652), Meitei-Pangals have been integrated into the history and cultural fabric of Manipur. Being one of the ethnic minority communities of Manipur, the Meitei-Pangal community has a unique cultural identity shaped by a blend of indigenous Meitei traditions and Islamic practices. This paper will try to highlight the historical context on which the identity of Meitei-Pangal is shaped and its evolution into a distinct identity the community has today. By analyzing political, economic, social, and cultural sources, the paper highlights how these factors have helped in shaping the Meitei-Pangal identity over time. Specific examples illustrate the impact of intra-community identity crisis, demonstrating the community's resilience and adaptability. Furthermore, the paper discusses importance of education and awareness in fostering reconciliation and understanding the inter-community identities.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCIES AND ATTITUDES AMONG B.ED. TRAINEES IN INDIA: FORMAL VS. DISTANCE EDUCATION
Authors: Jain Antim , Yadav Haldhar
Published: December 2024

The evolving landscape of teacher education in India, with a growing emphasis on producing adaptive educators, presents a comparison between formal and distance education modes in Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) programs. This study investigates the impact of these modes on pedagogical competencies and teaching attitudes among 400 B.Ed. trainees, employing a quantitative research design. Findings reveal that formal education provides a statistically significant advantage in developing teaching competencies, attributed to structured, interactive learning and real-time feedback. However, no significant difference in teaching attitudes was observed between the two groups, suggesting that attitudes are shaped more by intrinsic motivation and societal factors than training modes. The research underscores the necessity of enhancing distance education through strategies like virtual practicums and AI-driven learning to balance experiential learning with flexibility. The study also discusses gender dynamics, reflecting a higher female representation in teacher training and its implications on educational practices. These insights are crucial for informing policy and improving teacher training programs in India. Future research should focus on long-term outcomes and the integration of innovative digital tools to support diverse learning needs.

Tax convergence within economic integration frameworks: Post-COVID trajectories
Authors: Kireeva Elena F. , Karaev Alan K.
Published: December 2024

During the times of crisis, the role of fiscal policy when ensuring macroeconomic stability and fostering economic growth within integration associations increases. Tax policy is a pivotal parameter in the formation of state budgets and significantly impacts population income, while the convergence of tax systems has gained prominence as a means of bringing integrating states closer together. Therefore, it is imperative to evaluate the convergence processes of tax systems within integration associations. In the study, we explore the convergence hypothesis in relation to the tax systems of a group of post-Soviet countries: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. Methodologically, the research relies on the convergence theory in economics, process and systems approaches. The method is based on the concept of sigma-convergence, and calculation of Frank indices. The dataset utilized for analysis spans a decade, from 2012 to 2022, and comes from the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB). The findings reveal that the sigma-convergence of tax policy within the group of countries belonging to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) was present before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. However, with the pandemic’s spread, an uncoordinated tax policy to support the national economies emerged, which has led to the tax systems’ divergence. The study underscores the necessity of establishing automatic crisis management mechanisms for fiscal interventions at the supranational level within the EAEU. Such mechanisms would enable a coordinated response to future humanitarian and financial shocks, enhancing the resilience of EAEU member states.
A study of digital divide under the platform model development in the corporate sector of the economy
Authors: Plakhin Andrey E. , Dubrovsky Valery Zh. , Ogorodnikova Ekaterina S.
Published: December 2024

The existence of digital divide significantly hinders the development of a platform model in the corporate sector of the Russian economy, which in turn does not contribute to the active manifestation of the positive effects of digitalisation. The lack of methodological and empirical works describing digital divide in the corporate sector of the economy does not allow devising effective methods of solving this problem. The purpose of the article is to assess the digital divide that impede the establishment of a platform model in the corporate sector of the national economy. The research methodology is based on the theory of innovation, the concept of technological paradigm, and the concept of the fourth industrial revolution that substantiate the advantages of digitalisation and explain economic growth from the perspective of technological progress. The main method is correlation analysis, which is performed on groups of indicators characterising the use of platform technologies by organisations and reflecting a number of other factors. The data on the use of software and digital technologies in organisations over the years from 2012 to 2022 is taken from the HSE University statistical publications. The findings allow concluding that the greatest importance for the development of a platform model in the corporate sector of the economy is held by the homogeneity of digital technologies used within an industry. The second important factor is the homogeneity in the use of software focused on the interaction with partners and the functioning of organisations in terms of access to broadband internet. The results obtained allow diagnosing the formation of a platform model by describing the digital and software technologies used by potential participants of digital platforms and business ecosystems.

Authors: Tenkovskaya Lyudmila I.
Published: December 2024

Economic and mathematical modeling and forecasting of company’s stock quotes are necessary for the formulation and successful implementation of trading strategies in stock markets. However, at present these processes do not always yield satisfactory results, since they are complicated by a lack of information and methods for studying the emerging trends in economic development. The paper aims at building second-order polynomial trend models of a company’s stock quotes to provide a corresponding forecast that allows for the economy’s cyclicity. Methodologically, the research relies on the fundamental propositions of the theory of economic cycles. The methods include time series analysis, economic and mathematical methods of modelling and forecasting. The data are quotes of Sberbank’s ordinary shares for February 1998 – August 2024 obtained from the financial portal Investing.com. Five polynomial trend models of quotes of Sberbank’s ordinary shares are built. According to them, the quotes of Sberbank’s ordinary shares will reach maximum levels in one and a half year. After the specified period, it is recommended to sell these investment assets. The findings can be also useful to investors and top managers when forecasting and assessing the probability of the new economic crises.

Authors: Bintang Nurul Iman
Published: December 2024

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is an injury to the thorax in which the forces applied to the diaphragm exceed the diaphragmatic holding strength, resulting in a defect that allows abdominal contents to protrude into the thoracic cavity. This case research aimed to investigate diaphragmatic hernia treatment and surgical repair. The patient is a 1-year old, female domestic short hair (DSH) cat, black-white hair with a body weight of 2.8 kg. Pet First Veterinary Center monitored clinic symptoms and diagnostic data before surgery. Patient state was closely checked. The loss of the ventral border of the diaphragm and the displacement of abdominal viscera within the thorax are the most prominent radiological features in patient with diaphragmatic hernias. Surgery was performed at Pet First Veterinary Centre to restore negative pressure in the thoracic cavity by thoracocentesis. Diaphragmatic hernia repair involved reconstructing the diaphragm to restore its original function. Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) was performed in this surgery. The treatment with corrective surgery was recorded, followed by the recovery of the patient within one month of the surgery. This research demonstrated that diaphragmatic hernia repair was an effective method of treatment for diaphragmatic hernia to preserve pulmonary function.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder related to the relative deficiency of insulin secretion, affecting the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, leading to chronic hyperglycemia caused by genetic and environmental factors. This condition significantly impacts the quality of life, primarily due to complications such as diabetic ulcers. Diabetic foot ulcers are non-traumatic lesions on the skin of the foot in individuals with diabetes mellitus, resulting from repeated pressure and associated diabetes complications related to peripheral neuropathy. The healing of wounds can be facilitated through Maggot Debridement Therapy, a treatment involving the application of maggots or larvae of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF). These maggots secrete enzymes that dissolve necrotic tissue, disinfect the wound, and stimulate wound healing. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of methanol extract from Maggot (H. illucens) in inhibiting the migration of bacterial cultures and its potential as an antimicrobial agent against bacteria found in diabetic foot ulcers (DM II). The maggot was extracted using the maceration method with methanol, and its content was determined through phytochemical and GC-MS tests. The antibacterial test was conducted using E. coli. Phytochemical testing revealed that the methanol extract of maggot contains saponin, as evidenced by the formation of foam after the addition of distilled water and agitation. The results of the antibacterial test indicated that the methanol extract of Maggot (Hermetia illucens) can inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria concentration of 12,5%.

Infeksi cacing parasit Haemonchus contortus atau haemonchosis yang sering menyerang ruminansia kecil seperti domba dan kambing merupakan salah satu permasalahan yang dihadapi peternak. Minimnya pengetahuan mengenai penyakit ini serta pengulangan penggunaan antibiotik yang tidak memiliki banyak variasi menyebabkan kerugian ekonomi yang disertai dengan kejadian resistensi antihelmintik. Herbal seperti daun papaya dan kemangi dikenal memiliki zat aktif sebagai antihelmintik serta berpotensi digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk mengurangi penggunaan antihelmintik sintetik. Modifikasi sediaan herbal melalui penerapan teknologi nano diharapkan mampu meningkatkan efikasi kedua herbal tersebut sebagai antihelmintik. Pada penelitian ini, pembuatan nano herbal dilakukan dengan membuat maserasi ekstrak daun papaya dan daun kemangi. Selanjutnya, ekstraksi tersebut kemudian dilanjutkan dengan proses homogenisasi emulsi dan ultrasonikasi. Hasil dari ultrasonikasi kemudian diuji menggunakan Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) untuk mengetahui distribusi ukuran partikel. Nilai rataan ukuran kedua sampel tersebut sebesar 921.35 nm. Pada pengujian secara in vivo, pemberian dosis tunggal nanoherbal memberikan hasil kecenderungan penurunan jumlah telur cacing pada kelompok herbal dengan dosis 350 mg/kgBB di hari ke-3 dan hari ke-7 post treatment. Nano herbal kombinasi daun papaya dan daun kemangi dapat berperan sebagai antihelmintik potensial untuk mengatasi haemonchosis pada ruminansia kecil.

Jintan putih (Cuminum cyminum) merupakan tanaman yang sudah sejak lama dikonsumsi sebagai bahan masakan dan obat, namun belum terdapat penelitian terkait manfaat jintan putih sebagai antidiare. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efektivitas infusa jintan putih sebagai antidiare dan menentukan konsentrasi yang memiliki efek antidiare paling efektif. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan mengetahui kandungan metabolit sekunder pada jintan putih melalui penapisan fitokimia. Pengujian antidiare dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode proteksi intestinal dengan pemberian sediaan secara peroral. Parameter yang diamati pada metode proteksi intestinal yaitu frekuensi defekasi, konsistensi feses, dan durasi diare. Penelitian ini menggunakan 30 ekor mencit yang dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok terdiri dari kelompok kontrol negatif (Tween-80 [1%]), kontrol positif (Loperamide HCl), dan tiga kelompok perlakuan infusa jintan putih dengan konsentrasi 25%, 50%, dan 100%. Konsentrasi 25% merupakan konsentrasi jintan putih yang paling efektif, karena menghasilkan durasi diare paling pendek dibandingkan kelompok perlakuan lainnya. Penapisan fitokimia infusa jintan putih menunjukkan bahwa terdapat senyawa metabolit sekunder meliputi alkaloid, saponin, flavonoid, tanin, dengan tanin sebagai senyawa yang paling berpotensi sebagai antidiare.

The slaughter of sacrificial animals is an annual ritual held by Muslims throughout the world which is directly associated with the potential spread of animal diseases, both non-zoonotic and zoonotic, and the threat to food safety of animal origin. This research aims to collect data from sacrificial officers in 2023 regarding the implementation of aspects of veterinary public health and animal welfare in the slaughter of sacrificial animals. A total of 58 respondents from 45 mosques in Bina Widya District, Pekanbaru City, were surveyed and interviewed purposively. The survey results show that there are two categories of field conditions, namely positive and negative categories with the negative category (72.85%) occupying the largest percentage compared to the positive category (27.15%). The t-test analysis confirmed that there was a significant difference (t statistical > t(0.95) table) between positive and negative conditions in the infrastructure aspect (3.42 > 2.13); sanitation-hygiene of sacrificial workers (6.06 > 2.13); health of sacrificial animals (4.54 > 2.13); sanitation-hygiene of meat/offal (11.15 > 2.13). Significant differences were not confirmed between positive and negative conditions from animal welfare aspects (1.66 < 2.13). Based on the analysis of the average scores, it was concluded that the infrastructure, sanitation and hygiene of sacrificial workers and sanitation and hygiene of meat/offal were in a “very poor” condition (average score < 26.84), and then the animal welfare and health aspects animals are in a “poor” condition (26.84 < average score < 33.45).

Introduction. Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile compounds, mainly of terpene nature, extracted from plants and possessing many pharmacological actions. Among the variety of components of essential oils, the most interesting is natural azulene - chamazulene, formed in the pro-cess of hydrodistillation, possessing antimicrobial, regenerative, anti-burn and anti-inflammatory actions. One of the promising sources of obtaining essential oils rich in sesquiterpene and azulene compounds are representatives of the genus Artemisia L., especially A. sieversiana. The aim of the study is to determine changes in the composition of essential oils of A. sieversiana depending on the duration of storage of plant materials. Material and methods. Essential oils isolated from the above-ground part of A. sieversiana collected during the period of mass flowering in the Ivol-ginsky District of the Republic of Buryatia (freshly collected raw materials, from air-dried raw materials and from raw materials stored for 1, 6 and 12 months) were studied. Essential oils were isolated by hydrodistillation, their content was determined by the volumetric method. The qualitative compo-sition and quantitative content of essential oil components were established by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results. The qualitative composition and quantitative content of the components of the above-ground part of A. sieversiana with different storage peri-ods were studied. Comparative analysis of the component composition of essential oils showed that the following were dominant in all samples: chamazulene (5.90–43.39%), germacrene D (3.77–12.80%), neryl 2-methylbutanoate (3.83–14.35%), neryl 3-methylbutanoate (2.15–5.69%), γ-costol (2.20–8.25%) and selina-4,11-diene (2.16–4.51%). Considering that the yield of essential oils decreases as the raw material is dried and stored, its pro-duction for the purpose of extracting chamazulene after 6 months of storage is impractical. Conclusion. The obtained data are relevant in practical activities to identify the shelf life expitartion of A. sieversiana raw materials in order to obtain essential oils with an optimal component composition.
