Purchases Decision Making Inventory: Measurement Validation in Indonesia
Authors: Ishak Sella , Elgeka Honey Wahyuni Sugiharto
Published: December 2023

The empirical limitations of the Consumer Styles Inventory (CSI) render the formation of dimensions from this measuring tool-less relevant. Scholars have attempted developing Purchase Decision Making Inventory (PDMI) measuring tool to answer cognitive and emotional processes in decision-making. This research examined the validity of the internal structure of the purchasing decision-making inventory (PDMI) measuring device in the Indonesian context. PDMI has two main dimensions, namely emotional and reasoned. The emotional dimension has five sub-dimensions: impulsivity, indebtedness, negative emotions, frustration, and hedonism. The reasoned dimension has three sub-dimensions: saving, reasoning, and information seeking. The main dimensions explain the differences in cognitive and affective processes that occur in consumers when making decisions. The internal structure of PDMI was evaluated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and reliability analysis. The population of this study was Indonesian people aged 18-25 years (M = 20.3 years, SD = 1.55). The sample in this study was 588. The results of the CFA analysis showed that the results fit the data. The model accuracy indices used are the comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis index (TLI), and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). The CFI value is 0.932, the TLI value is 0.921, and the RMSEA is 0.046. The results of this research are supported by the reliability results of each sub-dimension and the primary dimension of the PDMI measuring instrument, which has a Cronbach's alpha value ≥ 0.6 with a corrected item-total correlation (CITC) ≥ 0.3 which can be concluded that the PDMI measuring device is valid based on internal structure and reliable evidence sources.

Published: December 2023

Muḥyī al-Dīn Yaḥyā bin Sharaf al-Nawawī (d. 676 H) is a figure known for his expertise in fiqh and hadith. Among his masterpieces that are the focus of scholars and researchers is Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, which is also considered the best Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. Apart from the two fields of knowledge, one of the fields that he has mastered but that has not yet been widely highlighted is the field of islamic creed. Therefore, there is a need for a study of the character of this great scholar in the field of islamic creed. Among the issues and polemics of theology that are given attention by the theologians is the polemic of the ru’yah Allah and al-Nawawī also provides views on this polemic. Therefore, this study was written to analyze the stance of al-Nawawī and his position in the polemic of Allah's ru'yah in order to identify the stance of this hadith figure. This study uses the method of content analysis based on Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim as well as the works of scholars in the science of islamic creed to obtain relevant information. The study found that al-Nawawī's stance in this polemic is in line with the core essence and methodology of the creed brought by Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamā'ah among al-Ashā'irah scholars who argue with evidence of revelation (naqlī) and logic (' aqlī). This at once proves that al-Ashā'irah scholars are also represented by the foremost hadith scholars and not just theologians.

Role of Vena Cava Inferior Ultrasound in Volume Assesment
Authors: D Vasin
Published: December 2023

Regulation of body fluid volume is a key concern for physicians in intensive care units. In intensive care, it is most important to determine the intracellular fluid status because it directly affects the volume status of the patient. Ultrasonography appears to be a useful tool for the assessment of body fluid status. The gold standard for measuring central venous pressure (CVP) is a central venous catheter. Vena cava inferior ultrasound (US-VCI) has been proposed as the non-invasive technique of choice for CVP assessment due to its wide availability, low costs, and ease of use. While a depleted IVC is often observed in hypovolemic patients, typically the IVC is dilated in a hypervolemic condition with a less pronounced or null respiratory collapse in the appropriate clinical context. respiratory variability in VCI diameteris known as the caval index (collapsibility index=VCImaxVCImin /VCImax) and is considered to reflect the intravascular volume state. According to the current updated American and European guidelines, an IVC diameter ≤2.1 cm and collapsibility >50% during inspiration suggest a RAP between 0–5 mm Hg while a diameter >2.1 cm with <50% inspiratory collapse indicates a high RAP of 10–20 mmHg. Primarily because of complicated pathophysiological mechanisms, ultrasound measurement of VCI should not be used as the only parameter in the assessment of volemic status.

Distributing Philanthropic Funds to Indonesian Muslims amid the Pandemic through a Maṣlaḥah view: Weaving Social Safety Nets or Fortifying the Healthcare System?
Authors: Khasanah Karimatul , Ansori  , Sobirin Mohamad
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted profound effects on the socio-economic landscape of the Indonesian populace, giving rise to vulnerable social segments. Throughout this period, BAZNAS, LAZISNU, and LAZISMU have overseen and allocated philanthropic resources from the Indonesian Muslim community for the mitigation of COVID-19-related challenges. The objective of this study is to address the inquiry regarding the allocation of funds for managing COVID-19 through a maṣlaḥah perspective, utilizing data sourced from documents of the three Amil institutions and insights gathered from interviews. The investigation reveals a congruence between BAZNAS and LAZISNU in their fund distribution practices, both demonstrating a concerted endeavor to leverage Islamic philanthropy for the establishment of social networks. Conversely, LAZISMU places greater emphasis on establishing a social health system amidst the pandemic, as evidenced by health programs being accorded second priority after social humanitarian initiatives. Nevertheless, a comprehensive conclusion may be drawn that all three institutions prioritize health and humanitarian concerns as focal points in the distribution of zakat, infaq, and alms within the context of the pandemic. From the standpoint of the maṣlaḥah theory, the prioritization rationale indicates that the allocation of Zakat, Infaq, and Alms funds is predominantly rooted in maṣlaḥah 'urfiyyah (or maṣlaḥah mulghah ghair mu'tabarah) rather than maṣlaḥah syar'iyyah.

Physical Principles in Revealing the Working Mechanisms of Brain. Part IV
Authors: Mazilu Nicolae
Published: December 2023

The living brain is physically modeled as a universe, equivalent, in a way, to the physical universe we live in. While in the case of the physical universe the gravitation prevails, in the brain universe, if we may, the electricity prevails, but the mathematical description we provide is essentially the same in both cases. What is imperiously necessary in this approach is, first, a metric description of matter, then, of course, the physical interpretation of this description. These issues were treated, but only in their believed essentials, in the previous three instalments of the present work. The object of the present episode of the work is a classical space image of the matter. This image is worked out here having in the background the idea of a necessary physical connection between the matter of a universe and its fundamental physical structure. The matter can be characterized ‘optically’ as a Maxwell fish-eye, while the fundamental physical structure must be a dipole. Both these concepts are universal.
PI Controller Based Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Using Capacitor Bank
Authors: Naqash Muhammad Younis , Rashid Zeeshan
Published: December 2023

Power factor plays an important role in electrical industries. Low power factor results in loss of power and poor handling capacity. This factor can be overcome by using capacitors in parallel to the load. Since capacitor draws a leading while inductor draws a lagging current, hence by adjusting capacitor banks parallel to the load, it will level the power factor in the line. Earlier, the process of power factor improvement was done through manual connection of capacitor bank. Later a power factor corrector named the automated power factor corrector (APFC) was proposed. It uses a switched capacitor circuit to improve power factor. In this research, the power factor value from the load is measured and it also includes the installation of APFC unit using a PI controller. The design of this auto-adjustable power factor correction scheme is to ensure that the grid power system always operates under the specified power factor. Actual work of APFC is that it selects the capacitor bank for power factor improvement. The capacitor bank block will choose automatically to further improve the power factor. This process goes on until the required power factor is obtained. Later on, this will automatically turn off the connection between the capacitor bank and the circuit. Furthermore, power saving with power factor after improvement is also discussed in the paper. Here APFC plays a key role in order to decrease the time taken to correct the power factor, which is ultimately beneficial to increase the efficiency of the motors and all inductive loads.
A New RMF Stirrer Using AISI4140 Mild Steel: Energy Optimization Application
Authors: Citak Hakan , Bicakci Sabri , Coramik Mustafa , Gunes Huseyin , Ege Yavuz
Published: December 2023

This study examines the development of a novel FPGA-based RMF stirrer system. The system has been designed as a 3-phase system, with each phase being fed by PWM voltage with a phase difference of 120°. In case the system is driven at a 100 % duty cycle, the force acting on the magnetic fish remains continuous and constant until the subsequent phase changes. In such a case, at speeds under 400 rpm, the speed of the magnetic fish fails to be synchronized with the phase change speed. The magnetic fish, therefore, rotates more than 120° and the force is observed to cause a braking effect. Both fluid logic control (FLC) and virtual model control (VMC) were utilised to enable the system to be driven at a different duty cycle. The energy efficiency of the system for fluids with different viscosities has been attempted to be thereby improved with a lower current and shorter excitation time. With FLC and VMC control, the energy consumed by the system is reduced and the efficiency is increased, and approximately 95 % energy gain is obtained for liquids with viscosity up to 1.03 Pa·s. It has been experimentally proven that a lower limit value of the duty cycle of the PWM signal applied to the drive circuit of the system depends on the viscosity of the mixed liquid and a lower limit value increases with increasing viscosity. It has also been found that controlling the system with FLC and VMC does not have a great effect on the energy gain.

Published: December 2023

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the quality of OSB (Oriented Strand Board) panels produced with different particle orientations and adhesive formulations.
 
Method: The panels were produced using strand particles of Pinus taeda, with a nominal density of 0.65 g/cm³ in two particle orientations (oriented and random) and three adhesive formulations (100% phenol formaldehyde, 100% tannin and 50% phenol formaldehyde + 50% tannin), distributed in six treatments. The tests were carried out according to the standards established by the EN 300 (2006) standards.
 
Results and conclusion: The results showed that using the mixture of the phenol and tannin adhesive had better results for the swelling, water absorption properties and the static bending. It was not possible to determine the best type of adhesive to be used, as the results showed an equivalence between the two types of adhesives used, as well as the mixture between them. It was observed that the use of mixtures with 50% of each adhesive can be used in the production process of OSB panels, allowing new alternatives of adhesives for the industries.
 
Research implications: This research investigates the possibility of using different types of natural adhesives in the manufacture of wooden panels, contributing to reducing the use of materials that are harmful to the environment and reducing costs in panel production, contributing to more sustainable production.

Background: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an educational program on Monkeypox knowledge among elderly individuals residing at an old age home in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: With a one-group pretest-posttest design, the study spanned from September 24, 2023, to December 2, 2023. A sample of 50 participants aged 60 and above received a structured teaching program tailored to their comprehension levels.
Results: Demographically, the participants exhibited diverse backgrounds, with a majority having completed secondary education, and a significant prevalence of chronic diseases. Health professionals were the primary source of health-related information for the elderly. The educational intervention led to a substantial improvement in Monkeypox knowledge, with significant increases in correct responses observed in the post-test compared to the pretest.
Conclusion: The findings underscore the efficacy of tailored health education programs for enhancing knowledge among the elderly, emphasizing the crucial role of healthcare providers in disseminating accurate health information.

Authors: Van Son Tran , Thanh Ha Nguyen , Thanh Binh Dong
Published: December 2023

Chitosan is a natural-derived polymer which has been used for water treatment due to its biodegradability. In this study, chitosan adsorbent was successfully fabricated from shrimp crust. The chitosan adsorbents were characterized using FTIR, SEM, and Zeta potential analysis. The experimental results indicated that fabricated chitosan in this study has similar properties to standard chitosan from Sigma-Aldrich which contains functional groups such as -OH, -CH, C-O-C, saccharide rings and amide groups I, II, III. Furthermore, the surface morphology of the adsorbent is moderately flat and the pHPZC was 7.2. Chitosan in flake forms could adsorb DB71 dye in water with a concentration of 35 ppm at the efficiency of 100%. The optimal conditions for the dye removal were at  0.2 g/L of concentration and contact time of 60 minutes. The dye is well adsorbed by chitosan in acidic environment with optimal pH of 3. The main mechanisms of dye adsorption onto the chitosan adsorbent maybe ion exchange or complexation.
Assessing the Impact of Erosion and Farming Practices on the Spatial Distribution of Topsoil Characteristics in a Sloping Vineyard Using an Open-source QGIS Software
Authors: Ha Nhung Pham Thi , Viet Nguyen Quoc
Published: December 2023

Erosion is one of the major threats that negatively affect agricultural soils. Several studies indicated that sloping vineyards are prone to soil erosion due to the soil management method. This study was conducted in a sloping vineyard planted in 2019 (with a slope of 100 and a slope length of 38 m) in Thu Cuc commune, Tan Son district, Phu Tho province, Vietnam. The main objective of the study is to evaluate soil characteristics (pH, particle-size distribution, organic matter, cation exchange capacity (CEC), N, P, and K macronutrients) related to terrain morphology, soil erosion, and farming practices. The open-source QGIS software was used to evaluate the spatial distribution of the soil characteristics. We found that the organic matter content, CEC, and clay content in the soils taken at the footslope zones were higher than those at the top of the hill as a result of soil erosion. In contrast, higher contents of K and silt were observed at the top of the hill compared to the footslope, indicating an unapparent impact of soil erosion on these two factors in the studied vineyard. Phosphorus was evenly distributed throughout the plot and influenced by the soil characteristics. Indeed, a strong correlation between total P content and soil pH, organic matter, and silt content was revealed in our study. On the other hand, cultivation practices exerted a significant impact on the prevailing accumulation of soil organic matter, CEC, total N, and clay particle size at the lower part of the vine rows following the horizontal flow. The vine rows were planted along the contour lines rather than the dominant slope of the vineyard can explain this tendency. In addition, no cover crops sown between the vine rows probably resulted in intense soil erosion at the steepest part of the terrain. Overall, the terrain morphology and farming practices played an essential role in the spatial distribution of soil characteristics. Therefore, integrating geographic information systems into building a digital database and predicting the spatial distribution of soil parameters is necessary to perform soil quality monitoring and serve sustainable land management.
Harmony with Nature
Authors: Muhajir Ahmad
Published: December 2023

This article aims to explore the profound philosophy of life held by the Mandailing ethnic group in maintaining the relationship between humans and the environment from a cultural ecological perspective. Employing an ethnohistorical approach, this research analyzes and synthesizes relevant ethnographic literature along with field research data. The focus of this study is on the philosophies "Poda Na Lima" and "Holong do Maroban Domu, Domu Maroban Parsaulian" as locally inherited wisdom passed down through generations by the Mandailing ethnic group to foster a harmonious relationship with nature. Key figures such as village chiefs, traditional leaders, religious figures, and community elders from Mandailing Natal Regency serve as research subjects and informants. The research findings conclude that "Poda Na Lima" and "Holong do Maroban Domu, Domu Maroban Parsaulian" impart local wisdom values such as compassion, cleanliness, and health in maintaining the harmonization of the relationship between humans and nature. These philosophies continue to be inherited and practiced in the daily lives of the Mandailing community, particularly among agrarian populations in rural areas. In practice, nature is positioned as a source of wisdom, not an object of exploitation, and is internalized to preserve ecological balance.
Fears and perceptions of the application of formative and shared assessment by a novel physical education teacher [Miedos y percepciones de la aplicación de la evaluación formativa y compartida por un docente novel de Educación Física]

Formative and shared evaluation (FSA) implies a methodological change in the teaching-learning process, allowing students to be active agents of their own learning. Students emphasize what and how they are learning, generating more conscious and solid situations. However, introducing it in Physical Education (PE) sessions is an arduous task, due to its complexity and conception, from which difficulties arise for its optimal implementation. This research, with a qualitative paradigm and autoethnographic approach, has the following objectives: a) to identify fears and insecurities of a novel PE teacher in the implementation of FSA, as well as the difficulties encountered; and b) to analyse the participation and involvement of students because of the implementation of FSA. The categories of analysis that structure this research are a) fears and insecurities shown by students and teachers because of its implementation and development; and b) student involvement and motivation as a consequence of its development and how it affects their teaching-learning processes. The results obtained have been the causes of reluctance towards the methodology, and the students' identification of the benefits of using the methodology to improve their learning.
Resumen
La evaluación formativa y compartida (EFyC) supone un cambio metodológico en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, permitiendo al alumnado ser un agente activo del propio aprendizaje. El alumnado enfatiza qué y cómo está aprendiendo, generando situaciones más conscientes y sólidas. Sin embargo, introducirlo en las sesiones de Educación Física (EF) supone una tarea ardua, debida a su complejidad y concepción, de las cuales surgen dificultades para su óptima implementación. Esta investigación, de paradigma cualitativo y corte autoetnográfico plantea los siguientes objetivos: a) identificar miedos e inseguridades de un docente novel de EF en la implementación de la EFyC, así como las dificultades encontradas; y, b) analizar la participación e implicación del alumnado como consecuencia de la implementación de la EFyC. Las categorías de análisis que estructuran esta investigación son: a) miedos e inseguridades del docente y discente como consecuencia de su implementación y desarrollo; y, b) implicación y motivación del estudiante en el proceso como consecuencia de su desarrollo y cómo afecta a sus procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Los resultados obtenidos han sido la causas de reticencias hacia la metodología, y la identificación del alumnado  de los beneficios del uso de la metodología para mejorar su aprendizaje.
