Al-Sharī’ah al-Islāmīyah fī ‘Aṣr al-Amrikazīyah al-Iqlīmīyah bi Indūnīsīya
Authors: Huda Yasrul
Published: May 2014

This article covers the efforts being made by two regions of Indonesia to implement Islamic law, that is, Aceh and West Sumatra. As one of the Special Autonomous Regions in Indonesia, Aceh has far greater freedom and authority to make its own rules and regulations, which includes the use of Islamic law as the rule of law in the area. In order to achieve this objective, the government of Aceh has introduced a regulation regarding the implementation of Islamic law and is quite extensive in that it covers aqidah (Islamic beliefs), ibadah (matters of worship), muamalah (dealings between people), akhlak (character), pendidikan (education), dakwah, baitul mal (the treasury), kemasyarakatan (social matters), syiar Islam (Islamic propogation), pembelaan Islam (defending Islam), peradilan (judicature), jinayat, munakahat (marriage) and waris (inheritance). This means that Islamic law should in theory govern almost all aspects of Islamic law and daily life.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v13i3.560

This article focuses on the role of the four lslamic reformers during the Iate 19th century and early 20th century. These four scholars include aI-Syaikh Ahmad ibn Muhammad Zayn al-Fathany (1273-1325 H/1865-1908 M); al-Syaikh al-Murabbi Muhammsd Sa'id al-Lanaqi (1292-1355 H/1875-1926 M); Tok Kenali (1287-1352 H/1870-1933 M); and al-Syaikh Thahir JaIal aI-Din al-Falakial-Azhari (1286-1376 H/1869-1956). These four Malay scholars led the reformist push at the same time of the arrival of the colonial powers from Europe. They inspired the people to oppose the colonialists, be it through education and knowledge, or through culture.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i1.561

Authors: Nasution Faruq
Published: May 2014

This article provides biography of the great General Soedirman (born 24 January 1916), one of the key figures in the fight for Indonesia's independence. one of the more interesting aspects of this article is how it looks at Soedirman's youth and education in Muhammadiyah circles. It was Muhammadiyah - or Hizbul Wathan, a scouting organization underneath the umbrella of Muhammadiyah, to be precise - that provided the young Soedirman with critical experience and lessons that were aimed at giving Muhammadiyah youth physical and mental training. Furthermore, particularly in the period of the fight for Independence, this training prepared them for becoming deeply involved in the fight for Indonesia's independence.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i1.563
Mainstreaming Madrasahs and Pesantrens in the East Java Province
Authors: Jahroni Jajang
Published: May 2014

Madrasahs and pesantrens are two Islamic educational institutions that have a very strategic role in the development of lndonesian society. Both act as sources of education for the Muslim youth ftom the middle and lower classes in the villages, not to mention a good number of upper-class children from the cities. The importance of madrasahs and pesantrens is evident when we realize that a large proportion of Indonesia's population lives in villages, and a large percentage of these are poor; thus education through madrasahs and pesantrens is often the only avenue left for those who are poor. The old order and New order regimes in the past actively pursued policies of marginalizing these education institutions and such a policy must be brought to an end. This is because the fate of the people of this country is closely tied to the success and development of Islamic educational institutions.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i1.571
New Approaches in Interpreting the Quran in Contemporary Indonesia
Authors: Rohman Izza
Published: May 2014

This study wants to look at Indonesian Muslim thought in relation to the interpretation of the Qur'ary especially its methodological issues. This topic is well-worth exploring also because it has been an increasingly prominent theme in contemporary debates on Islamic reform. It is in attempts to define the purpose and methods of Islamic reform and its legitimate boundaries that the debate concerning the Qur'an (primarily its interpretive approaches) between many contemporary Muslim thinkers comes into plays This study might be regarded as an effort to show how Indonesian Muslims have sought to participate in the debate, or to be more precise to incorporate some Indonesian Muslims' views into that debate. In doing so, this study limits its scope to the discussions in the Indonesian context during the past 20 years. It is within this period that lively discussions on interpretive approaches to the Qur'an have taken place in Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i2.544
Al-Amr bi al-Ma’rūf wa al-Nahy ‘an al-Munkār: Dirāsah fi Arā’i al-‘Ālim HAMKA fī Tafsīr al-Azhar
Authors: Murodi Murodi
Published: May 2014

Among Muslims the term amar makruf nahi mungkar (promoting good and preventing vice) is frequently used as a kind of motto for lslamic dakwah. This term has been studied by a good number of Islamic scholars-both classical and contemporary including Ibn Taymiyah in his work amar makruf nahi mungkar. The Mu'tazilites interpreted it to fall within the category of al-Ushul al-Khamsah, (the five principles of belief). In fact, for the Mu'tazilites the doctrine of amar makruf nahi mungkar is held to be a part of faith, to the point that amar makruf nahi mungkar must be enforced when necessary. Because of this, theological groups in the past have resorted to acts of violence in carrying out their duty of amar makruf nahi mungkar, even though this is done only as a last resort when there are no other means.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i2.550
Pentas Jihad Gerakan Salafi Radikal Indonesia
Authors: Wahid Din
Published: May 2014

This book is largely based on the writer's PhD thesis completed at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. This book represents an in-depth study of Laskar Jihad. Laskar Jihad has become somewhat prominent in recent times namely because of its role in the bloody conflict in Ambon. This religious conflict between Christians and Muslims resulted in countless casualties on both sides. The author takes the view that the phenomenon of Laskar Jihad represents a kind of synthesis between Islamic doctrine, militancy and efforts to strengthen the identity of a group that felt sidelined by modernization. Laskar Jihad's involvement in the conflict in Ambon was supported by - amongst others - fatwas from Salafi scholars in the Middle East (Mecca, Medina and Yemen).DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i2.552
The Islamization of Southern Kalimantan: Sufi Spiritualism, Ethnic Identity, Political Activism
Authors: Chalmers Ian
Published: May 2014

Sufism was the first form of Islam to be brought to Kalimantan, as was the case throughout most of Southeast Asia. Increasing numbers of Muslim traders and itinerant Sufi preachers came to the Indies from the 13th century onwards, and by the 16th century Islam had become a significant presence throughout the archipelago, especially in port cities and elsewhere on the coast. The popularity of Sufism grew rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries as increasing numbers of the faithful returned from the pilgrimage (haj) to Medina and Mecca, bringing the faith back with them to various communities scattered throughout the islands' This growth in the numbers of pilgrims (haji) had direct political significance, for they had inevitably come into contact with new religio-political ideas while in the Holy Land.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i3.542

Authors: Huda Yasrul
Published: May 2014

The study of traditional Minangkabau society has stimulated a considerable amount of work on the nature of social change in West Sumatra. In Minangkabau one of the central themes of its intellectual history is the search for the formulation of the relationship between adat and Islam. As a result, some scholarly debated has concentrated on how a matrilineal society, such as Minangkabau, can become one of the most thoroughly Islamized ethnic groups. The survival of adat is under the domination of Islam, although its rules are extremely different from adat, and the integration of Islam with adat.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v15i2.531

Research in various public institutions of higher education in Indonesia, which forms the basis of this article revealed that - especially Islamic - books have been greatly influential in the dissemination process of individual thoughts, especially among campus Islamic activists. The original thought of an individual is influenced by his/her prior experiences, In the modern context, this means, by the most important media: books. Thus, the process of the transmission of ideology among campus Islamic activists is shaped by reference works published by Islamic publishers. It is therefore safe to say that books are the means of transmission for campus Islamic movements in IndonesiaDOI: 10.15408/sdi.v15i2.533

The Tao of Islam: Ceng Ho and the Legacy of Chinese Muslims in Pre-Modern Java
Authors: Qurtuby Sumanto Al
Published: May 2014

The fact that "Sino-Javanese Muslim Cultures" are scattered over Banten, Jakarta, Cirebon, Semarang, Demak, Jepara, Lasem, Gresik, and Surabaya on the northern coast of Java (see also below) is strong evidence of the encounter between Cheng Ho (and other Chinese Muslims) and Javanese societies over the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. These "Sino-Javanese Muslim cultures" are not only found in the form of mosques which show evidence of acculturation processes between China, Islam, and Java, but also in literature, arts, and other artifact Seen from another perspective, these historical facts illustrate the Chinese major role in spreading Islam in the region. Unfortunately, although the Chinese contribution in shaping Indonesian civilizations and Javanese cultures is apparent, only a few scholars have concerned themselves with the issue.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i1.489
Al-Radīkālīyah al-Islāmīyah: Afkāruhā wa Ḥarakātuhā fī Indūnīsīyā al-Ma’āṣir
Authors: Tasman Tasman
Published: May 2014

This article endeavors to explain the notion of radicalism in the context of Islamic movements in Indonesia. Of late, radicalism has become a subject of debate among religious groups, especially radical religious movements such as the FPI (Front Pembela Islam, Islamic Defenders' Front) and the Laskar Jihad (Holy War Fighters). One of the issues debated is whether the term 'radical' is appropriate and indeed reflects their characteristics. Or, what is the right term to use for these groups. An Islamic movement, as one variant of social movements, is a collective first by an Islamic group to use Islamic teaching's norms and values as the foundation of economic, social, cultural and political life. In this context, Islam is not merely understood as a doctrine that regulates relations between man and God, but also as the basis of political life and as the foundation of the state.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i1.492

This article endeavours to offer a review of the literature on gender issues pertaining to the world of employment. It starts with a consideration of gender mainstreaming in the world and how Indonesia adopts this gender mainstreaming program in government policies. It continues by reviewing gender issues pertaining to their relations to development. By looking at the concept and the ideology of work distribution along sexual lines we may learn of the ways injustice in the organization of the structure and the culture of work is created. Through the review of a number of works we may conclude that patriarchal ideology has stigmatized woman and the strong divide in gender roles has resulted in a gender biased system of the organization of work.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i1.493

The first two points refer to how shari'ah (Islamic law) is integrated into state constitution and implemented in act. The last part refers to the way the sharti'ah (Islamic law) is made as the foundation of issuing regional regulation (peraturan daerah) or qanun in Aceh, which regulate citizens' right and obligation in regional level.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i2.486
The Payung and the Rising Sun: A Study of Javanese Pangreh Raja during the Japanese Occupation
Authors: Effendy Bahtiar
Published: May 2014

This study is a preliminary attempt to reconstruct and analyze the pangreh praja's social and political role, if any, during the Japanese occupation. Emphasis will be put on a critical assessment of the Japanese attitude toward the pangreh praja, and the pangreh praja's relationship with the nationalists, and the general populace. Through such examinations, it is expected that each of their roles can be assessed. The historical roots of thepangreh prajareach back to Dutch colonial history. It is often dated as early as the first installation of the o?ce of the Javanese regents. Such a view seems to be easy to understand as the regents were placed in the highest position in the pangreh praja's administrative hierarchy.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i3.473
Disrupting Spatiality and Temporality: Authority and Statecraft in Hikayat Mareskalek
Authors: Alatas Ismail F.
Published: May 2014

While this essay shares Stoler's analytical approach of literature, it does not focus on the politics of a?ect. Rather, this essay examines an early nineteenth century literary production, the Hikayat Mareskalek, in an attempt to question various assumptions in contemporary works on the Malay-Indonesian archipelago. The first is the perceived geography of culture that is divided over what is considered 'Malay' and what 'Javanese.' The second is a temporal construct where a break with the past in the form of modernity occurred as a result of the shock of the colonial encounter. This attempt is framed in the study of authority and statecraft envisioned in the Hikayat. The first part of the essay tries to locate the spatial context of the Hikayat while the second reconstructs ideas of authority and statecraft enshrined in the text.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i3.474

Eclecticism of Modern Islam: Islam Hadhari in Malaysia
Authors: Ali Muhamad
Published: May 2014

Artikel ini memperlihatkan bahwa Islam Hadhari berfungsi tidak hanya sebagai respons religio-politik terhadap krisis internal yang dirasakan masyarakat Melayu, polarisasi budaya, dan politik global yang tidak seimbang, tetapi juga menunjukkan multi-interpretasi dari teks-teks Islam, sejarah, budaya dan konteks multikultural. Kasus Islam Hadhari menjadi contoh dari "tradisionalisme" dan "modernisme" Islam yang bukan dalam bentuk ideal, tetapi dalam ekspresi diskursif campuran. Islam Hadhari harus dipahami dalam kerangka persaingan ide-ide lokal dan global, yang muncul di negara-negara mayoritas Muslim di era negara-bangsa modern dan globalisasi. Artikel ini menunjukkan pentingnya mengamati reformasi Islam sebagai dialektika gerakan dan kontra-gerakan, wacana dan kontra-wacana, tetapi juga dalam hal waktu (masa lalu, sekarang, dan masa depan). Menggunakan teori modernisasi dalam menjelaskan hubungan antara Islam dan modernitas, artikel ini diharapkan dapat berkontribusi dalam memperoleh jawaban mengenai kondisi sosial-politik yang membuat gagasan Islam progresif atau Islam peradaban harus terjadi. Artikel ini memperlihatkan cara bagaimana multikulturalisme dan eklektisisme mengkarakterisasi proyek Muslim terhadap modernitas di tengah-tengah keterhubungan yang kuat dengan masa lalu dan kitab suci.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v18i1.439

Ḥaflat al-Mawlid al-Nabawī wa-Qirā’at Kitāb al-Barzanjī fī Mujtama‘ Sasak: Manẓūrāt Tārīkhīyah
Authors: Jamaluddin Jamaluddin
Published: May 2014

Sasak Muslims believed that maulid (Rabiul Awwal) month is a noble month and the best month to carry out syukuran (thankfulness) celebration or other religious rituals activities. Therefore, practices such as ngurisang (hair shaving for babies), nyunatang (circumcision for boys), namatang (completing the Qur'an reading), and merarik (marriage) are mostly performed in the maulid month. In its development then, the Kitab Barzanji reading within Sasak Muslims is not only observed in the maulid celebration, but also in many religious and traditional activities which are performed outside the maulid month. Some of the examples are the besok tian or tujuh bulanan tradition (a ceremony for women whose pregnancy age is seven months), ngurisang (hair shaving for babies), which is usually coupled with aqiqah, nyunatang (circumcision for boys), beserakal (reading the Kitab Barzanji to pray ones who will pilgrimage). Although the ritual is practiced not in the maulid month, the reading tradition of Kitab Barzanji in these ceremonies is relentlessly important. In the southern part of Lombok, the Kitab Barzanji reading has been performed on every Friday night, usually called kelaman ceremony. Sasak people experience shows that the maulid and the Kitab Barzanji reading has become a tradition practiced continuously from one to the next generation since this tradition introduced to Lombok.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v18i2.436

Authors: Afrianty Dina
Published: May 2014

This conference was organized with the idea to discuss some crucial issues that challenge global society, in particular, state-government in facing an increasingly globalised world. Society becomes more diverse and complex as a result of infiltration of other cultures and people movements. This situation poses serious challenges for state-government and civil society to ensure that complex social cohesion will not lead to tension and conflict both among members of the society and between the state and the society.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v18i2.438
Faith on the Move: Inside of the Ijtimā‘ of Jamā‘ah Tablīgh in Pekan Baru
Authors: Bustamam-Ahmad Kamaruzzaman
Published: May 2014

Artikel ini mengkaji ritual keagamaan pada gerakan Islam transnasional Jama'ah Tabligh. Gerakan Islam yang berpusat di Nizamuddin, India, ini lahir pada tahun 1926 dan dicetuskan oleh Mawlana Muhammad Ilyas bin Muhammad al-Hanafi al-Diyubandi al-Kandahlawi (1885-1994) pada tahun 1927 di Mewat, Delhi, India. Dalam sejarahnya, gerakan ini berhasil menarik anggota dari berbagai penjuru dunia dengan masjid sebagai pusat kegiatan mereka. Di Indonesia, Jama'ah Tabligh hadir sebagai salah satu gerakan sosial keagamaan yang pengaruhnya terasa hampir di setiap provinsi. Di Indonesia, pusat kegiatan Jama'ah Tabligh berada di Kebun Jeruk, Jakarta. Namun, untuk tingkat Asia Tenggara, kegiatan-kegiatan Jama'ah Tabligh dikendalikan dari Nizamuddin dan dalam koordinasinya juga berhubungan langsung dengan markaz di Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v18i3.426
The Roots of the Writing Tradition of Ḥadīth Works in Nusantara: Hidāyāt al-ḥabīb by Nūr al-Dīn al-Rānīrī
Authors: Fathurahman Oman
Published: May 2014

Artikel ini mencoba membuktikan bahwa tradisi penulisan kitab-kitab hadis di kalangan ulama Nusantara tidak 'sesepi' yang dikesankan selama ini. Meskipun dari segi jumlah memang kalah jauh dibanding bidang keilmuan lain, terutama tasawuf dan fikih, karya-karya lokal di bidang hadis, terutama dalam bahasa Melayu, dapat dijumpai, baik berupa kompilasi utuh sejumlah hadis maupun semata terjemahan dari kitab hadis berbahasa Arab. Salah satu kitab hadis Melayu terawal yang menjadi bahan diskusi dalam artikel ini adalah Hidayat al-habib fi-al-targhib wa-al-tarhib, karangan Nuruddin al-Raniri. Minimnya kajian tentang tradisi penulisan karya-karya hadis, termasuk terhadap teks Hidayat al-habib ini tampaknya sangat dipengaruhi oleh masih terbatasnya akses terhadap sumber-sumber primer berupa naskah-naskah tulisan tangan (manuscript) di bidang ini. Hidayat al-habib ditulis pada 6 Syawal 1045 H/14 Maret 1636 M. Kitab ini mengandung 831 buah hadis dari berbagai sumber, seperti kitab Bukhari, Muslim, Turmudhi, dan lain-lain.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v19i1.369
Menelaah Gerakan Modernis-Reformis Islam melalui Kota Gede: Pembacaan Seorang Antropolog Jepang
Authors: Latief Hilman
Published: May 2014

The first Indonesian edition of this book was published in 1983. The publishing of second edition reflects a profound engagement of Nakamura with his research subjects among the Muhammadiyah members in Kota Gede-Yogyakarta for nearly four decades. The book also symbolizes the author’s thoughtful contribution to Indonesian studies in general, and the study of Indonesian Muslim societies in particular. The book has a clear argument about the role of the Islamic reformist movement in a certain kind of Islamization process in Java. More importantly it has opened more space and opportunities for younger researchers to dig further different patterns and complexities of the modernist movement that can be discovered in the field.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i2.391
Islamic Schooling in Aceh: Change, Reform, and Local Context
Authors: Srimulyani Eka
Published: May 2014

The history of Islamic educational reform in Indonesia shows that the emergence of the kaum muda group at the beginning of the twentieth century is connected with the emergence of the modern model of Islamic education called “madrasah”.  After independence, the central government established a number of madrasahs for religious education and sekolah for ‘non-religious’ education in a number of areas in Indonesia. Focusing on Islamic education and schools in Aceh, this article argues that although the development of Islamic education in the area initially followed the state-wide pattern of contestation between modernist and traditionalist groups, the context, timing, socio-political factors behind reform and change was varied. This article shows that there is a close intersection between educational change and reform with non-educational factors such as government policies, local socio-political changes, amongst others.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i3.513

This article focuses on investigating the statement on truth claim and religious tolerance of the Muslim writers of Islamic Education textbooks for students at tertiary level in Indonesia. The purpose is to study how Islamic teachings, according to their points of view, formulate limits of tolerance in the interaction among adherents of different religions. They believe that the formulation is meant to defend Islam from syncretism, hypocrisy, and heresy and to argue against the concept of unlimited tolerance in the view of the advocates of pluralism and multiculturalism. The first side is ‘defenders’, to call them as groups opposing pluralism and multiculturalism, and the second is ‘the advocates’ of pluralism and multiculturalism.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i3.514

This article discusses the development of Syattariyah Sufi order as one of religious traditions in Aceh in the colonial era based on the manuscript of Muhammad Khatib Langien’s Mi‘rāj al-Sālikīn ilá Martabat al-Wāsilīn bi-Jāh Sayyid al-Mursalīn. The Syattariyah teachings in Mi‘rāj al-Sālikīn have proved the existence of Muhammad Khatib Langien in the Malay-archipelago world. In applying his teachings, Muhammad Khatib Langien has the different procedures than that one of  ‘Abd al-Raūf al-Fansuri. In addition to practical teachings, Muhammad Khatib Langien employs local symbols such as wearing skullcaps and turbans in the swear oath (bay‘ah) process. This tradition is meant to respond the foreign culture as well as to show the identity of each members of Syattariyah sufi order. It is proved that Muhammad Khatib Langien’s teachings that can be accepted by all people and groups even without having support from the local authorities at the time.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i3.515

Published: May 2014

As a result of archaeological investigations carried out in the pre-Hispanic city of Izamal, Yucatan, Mexico a large number of fragments of pottery vessels were recovered from the period known as maya protoclassic. The most important of this collection was its similarity to ceramic style representative recognized as Holmul, whose production has been identified mostly in the region of the Central Maya Lowlands. This style includes Ixcanrio Orange Polychrome ceramic type as diagnostic type more easily distinguished by its orange slip and tetrapods supports. Izamal, is the only place in the Northern Maya Lowlands has reported a large amount of pottery of this ceramic type. In this study we try to identify the origin of manufacture using X-ray diffraction technique. This will allow us to understand the social and political behavior of this ceramic tradition and their presence in this region of the Maya area.
The Use of Smalt in Simon Pereyns Panel Paintings: Intentional Use and Color Changes
Authors: Espinosa Pesqueira Manuel E. , Lemus Elsa Arroyo
Published: May 2014

The Flemish painter Simón Pereyns travelled to New Spain in 1566 as a member of the viceroyal court. In two important paintingsLa Virgen del Perdón(1568) andSan Cristóbal(1588) we identified wide use of blue smalt pigment, a potassium glass with cobalt oxide. The color of this material depends on its manufacture process, from pale greyish blue to violet or dark blue. The more blue color the more expensive the pigment. On the 16thcentury market the commerce of smalt was divided into many categories based on the material quality. Historical archive documents testify smalt imports from Seville to New Spain in two different qualities: fine and smalt woody ashes. In Pereyns` paintings the smalt was used in specific parts of the composition as the dark sky in landscapes, shadows of draperies and under layers in order to create a color background for the figures. Nowadays, in these areas, the alteration of the paint layer is evident. The blue has been changed into brown color. Optical microscopy (MO), scanning and transmission electron microscopies were performed in order to characterize the particles of smalt. The degradation of potassium glass was verified, as a consequence of aging and degradation process due to environmental conditions. These phenomena are well known and study on European paintings. In this research our aim is to explore the intentional use of smalt on Pereyns’ compositions and how color change as a consequence of microscopic materials instability can influence the contemporary reception of the paintings. Many paintings from New Spain have a dull, dark and limited palette but the original was very different. The remarks about the color of New Spain's paintings should considered the normal aging of the paint components, studied by materials science and art history.

This contribution shows the results of a study carried out in order to determinate the deterioration mechanisms suffered by stucco masks from the important archaeological Mayan site of Edzná, Campeche, México; due to their long exposition to the tropical environment of the zone. Stratigraphic analysis of fragments from the masks containing pigments and surface neoformation products, were analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled to a secondary X-ray emission system. Crystalized salts mineral composition were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Also, during the study, environmental parameter like temperature and relative humidity were monitored in site. Results indicate that stuccos mineral matrix is formed by calcareous materials, covered by films with variable proportions of ferrous materials (red, ochre and yellow colors) and rich carbon content (black color). Compounds were associated to blue and green colors. Al these materials showed a high level of deterioration because of differential forces caused by stucco and deposits of environmental soluble salts during dissolution crystallization cycles caused by humidity differences between stucco and environmental as a consequence of their particular exposure conditions.
Mechanical Characteristics of Historical Beams of Picea Abies Wood: Assessment by Ultrasound
Authors: Sotomayor-Castellanos Javier Ramón , Villaseñor-Aguilar José María
Published: May 2014

Five historical full-size wood structural beams of Picea abies were tested with ultrasound. The speed of ultrasound, the modulus of elasticity, the moisture content and the wood density were measured for each specimen. The speed of the ultrasound waves in the radial, tangential and longitudinal directions was 1,769 m/s, 1,599 and 5,713 m/s respectively. The modulus of elasticity in the radial, tangential and longitudinal directions was 1,353 MPa, 1,069 MPa and 13,863 MPa respectively. The moisture content was on average 11.92% and the density was on average 422 kg/m3. Wood parameters such as density and orthotropic directions had influence in ultrasound measurements. In spite of local weakness in the beams, they had enough strength to be considered full structural members.
Piezoelectric 2D materials for bistable NEMS energy harvesters
Authors: López-Suárez Miquel , Pruneda Miguel , Rurali Riccardo , Abadal Gabriel
Published: May 2014

The dynamics of one atom thick h-BN suspended nanoribbons have been obtained by first performing ab-initio calculations of the deformation potential energy and then solving numerically a Langevine type equation to explore their use as energy harvesting devices. Similarly to our previous proposal for a graphene-based harvester1, an applied compressive strain is used to drive the clamped-clamped nanoribbon structure into a bistable regime, where quasi-harmonic vibrations are combined with low frequency swings between the minima of a double-well potential. h-BN, graphene and MoS2 similar structures have been compared in terms of the static response to a compressive strain and of the dynamic evolution induced by an external noisy vibration. Due to its intrinsic piezoelectric response, the mechanical harvester naturally provides an electrical power that is readily available or can be stored by simply contacting the monolayer at its ends. Engineering the induced non-linearity, the proposed device is predicted to harvest an electrical root mean square (rms) power of more than 180 fW when it is excited by a noisy external force characterized by a white Gaussian frequency distribution with an intensity in the order of Frms=5pN.
Informed consent: Towards improved lay-friendliness of patient information sheets
Authors: Pilegaard Morten , Berg Ravn Hanne
Published: May 2014

Regional research ethics committee (REC) members have voiced a need for the linguistic improvement of informed consent documents to ensure duly informed consent and to ease committee deliberation. We have little knowledge of what elements of language use hamper comprehension, or of the extent of medical researchers’ appreciation of this problem and their willingness to accept intervention. This qualitative, explorative study proposes an intervention design and tests its feasibility and acceptability. Semi-structured interviews with potential REC applicants informed a linguistic intervention benchmarked against existing guidelines, mandated locally and nationally, and then evaluated quantitatively in a semi-controlled set-up and qualitatively via questionnaires. Potential applicants professed the psychological acceptability of linguistic intervention. The intervention comprised a downloadable Microsoft Word template outlining information structure, a detailed guideline offering advice for each move and self-selected linguistic screening. It was used by 14 applicants and had a measurable effect on REC deliberation time and approval rates. The intervention instruments overall made it easier for applicants to produce informed consent documents meeting prescribed ethical standards concerning lay-friendliness. In conclusion, it was found that linguistic intervention is relevant, feasible and psychologically acceptable to REC applicants; it aids their text production process and seems to enhance the lay-friendliness of these texts.
