Published: June 2023

Technological developments demand that education is directed at learning that equips students with 21st century skills. One of them is critical thinking skills. Students' critical thinking skills can be developed through the use of appropriate learning models and supported by prior knowledge that students already have. However, the use of learning models applied in schools has not optimally developed students' critical thinking skills and tests have never been carried out to determine students' prior knowledge. One of the learning models that can develop critical thinking skills is the problem-based learning model. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of problem-based learning models and prior knowledge on the critical thinking skills of class VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Lengayang. This type of research is a quasi-experimental with a population of class VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Lengayang in the odd semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. Taking two sample classes using purposive sampling technique. The design of this research is Randomized Control-Group Posttest Only Design. The instrument used in this study was a written test. The data analysis technique for testing the hypothesis is the independent sample t test and the two-way ANOVA test. The results of this study prove that: The problem-based learning model influences the critical thinking skills of class VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Lengayang; the problem-based learning model and high prior knowledge affect the critical thinking skills of class VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Lengayang; The problem-based learning model and low prior knowledge affect the critical thinking skills of class VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Lengayang; The problem-based learning model has no interaction with prior knowledge in influencing the critical thinking skills of class VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Lengayang

Published: June 2023

This study was intended to examine the progress of the geometric reasoning skills of pre-service mathematics teachers (PSMTs) in the College of Teacher Education, Oromiya, Ethiopia. In the study, there were three different classes: EG1 (n=48), EG2 (n=38), and CG (n=30), where PSMTs in EG1 were treated with technology into guided inquiry-based learning (TGIBL), EG2 with guided inquiry-based learning (GIBL), and CG with a conventional learning approach. A geometric reasoning test was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and a paired sample t-test. The findings showed that the effect of using the GIBL model assisted by technology was higher when compared to the other two models. On the other hand, a paired t-test showed significant mean gains in reasoning skills in the TGIBL and GIBL approaches. Hence, technology must be integrated into teaching and learning geometry at CTEs to promote PSMTs’ geometric reasoning skills.

Published: June 2023

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by painful, rapidly progressing necrotic ulcers. Although PG has been reported in association with various autoimmune diseases, its coexistence with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mimicking vasculitis is uncommon. We present a case report of a 75-year-old female with a longstanding history of RA who developed ulcerative skin lesions that initially presented as vasculitis. She presented with new-onset painful, ulcerative skin lesion on the lower extremity, accompanied by malaise. Physical examination revealed asymmetric, deep necrotic ulcers with undermined borders. Laboratory investigations showed elevated acute phase reactants and negative rheumatoid factor. Skin biopsy demonstrated neutrophilic infiltration, confirming the diagnosis of PG. Further investigations, including imaging studies and vasculitis-specific laboratory tests, were negative, ruling out vasculitis. The patient was managed with systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy, resulting in significant improvement of skin lesions. This case highlights the importance of considering PG as a potential differential diagnosis in patients with RA presenting with ulcerative skin lesions resembling vasculitis.

Published: June 2023

Head and neck cancer is a complex pathology whose incidence has increased in recent years. The primary treatment is surgery, which involves extensive and mutilating interventions through the cervical region, leaving significant anatomofunctional sequelae. Since 2009, the use of robotic surgery using the Da Vinci® system has been consensus for resecting oropharyngeal and supraglottic tumors through transoral surgery. Subsequently, its utility has also been observed in the surgery of patients with Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS). The advantages of this technique are based on the improved and early recovery of the patients. This article presents our experience in the management and postoperative care of this surgical technique for both oncological pathology and sleep apnea pathology.

Authors: Nam Truong Dong
Published: June 2023

In recent years, the use of electronic identification has become increasingly popular, with more and more countries implementing this technology. E-IDs are used for a variety of purposes, including accessing government services, voting, and conducting financial transactions. The electronic chip embedded in the card stores a wealth of personal information, including biometric data, residency information, and personal photographs. While e-IDs have many benefits, they also pose significant risks, particularly when it comes to the security of personal information.The aim of this research paper is to explore the risks associated with e-IDs and to identify the factors that contribute to these risks. We will examine the potential consequences of these risks, including identity theft, financial fraud, and other forms of cybercrime. In addition, we will provide recommendations on how to mitigate these risks and ensure that e-IDs are used safely and securely.

Effect of red guinea corn and soybean plants growing on diesel-polluted soil on the total heterotrophic and diesel degrading microbes were studied. Soil sample was collected from the Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri school farm with the aid of a spade and transported to the preparation ground in clean plastic buckets where it was sun-dried for 3 days. 3kg each of the sun-dried loamy soil sample was weighed out in triplicates and each set was mixed with 30ml, 150ml and 300ml of diesel to obtain 1% (set 1), 5% (set 2) and 10% (set 3) pollutions, respectively, which were dispensed into perforated plastic buckets. Each of these polluted soil samples was planted with the seeds of Red Guinea Corn and Soybean plants. Controls were also set up. Each sample was set up in duplicates. During the first and second week of the plant’s growth, total heterotrophic count, total diesel-utilizing microbes, and rhizosphere enumeration were carried out. The results showed that the total heterotrophic count and the hydrocarbon-utilizing microbes increased with increasing concentration of the diesel oil mixture (10%>5%>1%) in both the polluted soil planted with Red Guinea Corn and Soybeans. Similarly, the rhizosphere effects on both diesel degrading microbes and total heterotrophic bacterial counts were found to have increased with increase in percentage of diesel concentrations for both plants. The microbial population and rhizosphere effects were more in the polluted samples than in unpolluted ones. This implied that by encouraging these plants to grow on diesel oil polluted soils, conditions for microbial degradation of the contaminants can be enhanced and can increase the microbiota of the soil.

The utilization of teeth as identification markers necessitates the creation of comprehensive dental records, yet the implementation of this practice remains suboptimal. Consequently, there is a dearth of dental information, including outdated or incomplete medical records. Various studies have documented dentists' insufficient knowledge and compliance when completing medical records across different populations. In light of this, the current study aimed to assess the correlation between dentists' knowledge of medical records and their compliance in filling them out within the Sidoarjo Region of Jawa Timur, Indonesia. A questionnaire was administered to 93 dentists in the region to measure their knowledge and compliance, and a Chi-square analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between these two variables. The results revealed that the majority of dentists exhibited good knowledge (62.4%) and displayed good compliance (78.5%), with a p-value of 0.488 and α>0.05, indicating no significant correlation between dentists' knowledge of medical records and their compliance in filling them out within the Sidoarjo Regency.

The Anxiety disorders are considering as serious problems in our society life like family environment, school and work functioning. They increase the risk of other psychiatric disorders pathologies, including depression, drug and alcohol abuse and the incidence of suicide. For ameliorate this situation, anxiolytic and hypnotic substances like benzodiazepines, barbiturates and their relatives compounds are very regularly prescribed. However, the frequent use of tranquillizers and psychotropic compounds involve the variety in autonomic, endocrine, allergic, and neurological side effects. So, anxiety disorders are reveled as the world health problem. This study aims at assessing the combined of anxiolytic effect of the decoction of dried Hypstis spicigera leaves and aerobic physical activity in white mice. For this purpose, the Elevated Plus Maze test (EPM) and the Open Field (OF) test were used. Thirty male and female mice of approximately eight weeks of age and 23 g body weight were used. They were divided into seven groups of five animals each. The first one normal group received distilled water (per os), a negative control group received distilled water by oral way and underwent anxiety induction and a positive control group received diazepam intraperitoneally and underwent anxiety induction and physical activity. Then, four groups received different concentration of decoction of Hypstis spicigera by oral way, followed by chronic immobilisation stress and physical activity. Thus, the results of the EPM showed that chronic stress caused a significant decrease (p<0.001 ) of the percentage of time spent in the open arms from 42.93% in the normal control mice to 14.79% in the negative control group. Similarly, Hyptis spicigera lam decoction and physical activity induced a significant (p<0.001) increase of this percentage from 14.79% in the negative control group to 82.52% of the 225 mg/kg dose group. The diazepam also induced a significant (p<0.001) increase of this percentage. Those from the open field showed that chronic stress caused a significant (p<0.001) decrease in the amount of time spent in the centre from 4.8±0.83 s in the normal control mice to 1.2±0.44 s in the negative control group. Similarly, Hyptis spicigera Lam decoction and physical activity induced a significant (p<0.001) increase of time spent from 1.2±0.44 s in the 225 mg/kg dose group in the negative control group to 15±1s in the 225mg/kg dose group. Diazepam also induced a significant (p<0.001) increase of this time. Hyptis spicigera Lam decoction and physical activity have anxiolytic activity. Reason is why this plant is used more in traditional medicine.
Alexithymia and related mental and psychosomatic disorders
Authors: Zimоglyad O. E. , Ivanova Yu. S. , Smirnova A. P. , Volkova E. I.
Published: June 2023

Rationale. Currently, there is a growing number of mental disorders, which are infl uenced by various external and internal factors, including the presence of alexithymia. Most studies focus on the prevalence of somatic diseases among patients with alexithymia, while the prevalence of mental disorders in these patients remains insuffi  ciently studied. Presumably, alexithymia can serve as a background for the development of mental disorders such as anxiety, depressive, and mixed anxiety-depressive disorders. The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between alexithymia and mental disorders, somatic diseases, and suicidal thoughts in patients.

Material and methods. A total of 184 outpatients (107 women and 77 men) with various illnesses were examined. Clinical rating was conducted using the TAS, HADS, and MADRS scales. Additionally, medical history was collected.

Results. A higher incidence of mental disorders was detected in patients with alexithymia (correlation coeffi  cient 0.71). Depression was most frequently observed in these patients (73.5%), followed by anxiety disorder and mixed anxietydepressive disorder (13.2%). Patients with alexithymia also had a higher incidence of psychosomatic disorders (correlation coeffi  cient 0.68), with multiple psychosomatic diseases usually occurring in the same person. Moreover, a higher incidence of hypertension (47%), ischemic heart disease (25%), skin diseases such as neurodermatitis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and others (59.6%), gastrointestinal diseases such as peptic ulcer and irritable bowel syndrome (28.7%), bronchial asthma (8.8%), thyrotoxicosis (0.7%), and rheumatoid arthritis (0.7%) was detected in patients with alexithymia. As the degree of alexithymia increased, suicidal thoughts were more frequent and severe (correlation coeffi  cient 0.74).

Conclusion. The hypothesis of the correlation between alexithymia and the development of mental and psychosomatic disorders and the appearance of suicidal thoughts has been confi rmed.

Published: June 2023

The arrival of illegal immigrants to an area is a threat to state sovereignty. This situation is certainly dangerous, considering that everyone who will enter the territory of a country must know the origin and destination. In dealing with these illegal immigrants, immigration has an important function in preventing and controlling illegal immigrants. This research will examine the position and role of immigration intelligence in overcoming the problem of illegal immigrants in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is normative juridical with a statutory, case, and conceptual approach. The results of the study found that immigration intelligence has an important role in maintaining national stability and overcoming national threats from the problem of illegal immigrants. Immigration Intelligence can act as a deterrent and controller for illegal immigrants. Currently, immigration intelligence has various programs in dealing with the problem of illegal immigrants, such as establishing a foreigner reporting system (APOA), forming an intelligence community consisting of law enforcement officials and government institutions, and cooperation with Interpol.
PERMASALAHAN HUKUM BARU DALAM PELAKSANAAN PENGADAAN TANAH UNTUK KEPENTINGAN UMUM (STUDI KASUS KOTA PALU)
Authors: Sari Dewi Kemala
Published: June 2023

Permasalahan pembebasan tanah untuk kepentingan publik senantiasa menimbulkan polemik. Disatu sisi, negara menjamin kepemilikan sah individu atas tanah sebagaimana diamanatkan UUD 1945 dan UUPA, disisi lain pelaksana kekuasaan negara, yakni pemerintah, berkewajiban menjalankan agenda pembangunan infrastruktur fisik yang kerap kali harus mengorbankan nilai kepentingan individu. Hak atas tanah apapun yang ada pada seseorang tidaklah dapat dibenarkan semata-mata untuk kepentingan pribadinya, apalagi kalau hal itu menimbulkan kerugian bagi masyarakat. Kepentingan umum, yang dijabarkan dari fungsi sosial tanah, tidak kalah pentingnya dengan kepentingan individu pemilik yang dijabarkan dari fungsi tanah. Dalam artian, pada saat dibutuhkan demi kepentingan umum, kepentingan individu bisa dikompromikan, bahkan dikalahkan, dan hak milik atas tanah harus dilepaskan. Setiap kegiatan pengadaan tanah untuk pembangunan selalu memicu rasa tidak puas, disamping tidak berdaya, masyarakat yang hak atas tanahnya terkena dalam proyek pembangunan tersebut. Penelitian ini bersifat tinjauan empiris yaitu penelitian yang diperoleh dari pengalaman, pengamatan berdasarkan data-data dilapangan dan informasi yang diperoleh dari wawancara langsung kepada berbagai narasumber dan instansi terkait penelitian ini.
Initiating the Implementation of Merging Crimes in Corruption Self-help Housing Stimulant Assistance
Authors: Ahmadi Cecep Ibnu , Ismail Dian Ekawati , Rahim Erman
Published: June 2023

Corruption in practice is not only a self-imposed crime but opens up space for other crimes both before and after the occurrence of corruption crimes. There are other criminal acts such as in the case of Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance in Pohuwato Gorontalo. However, in the process of law enforcement, only articles in the Corruption Law are used. Therefore, the focus of the problem in this paper is to examine the obstacles in investigating corruption in the Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance and how to apply the merger of criminal acts in corruption is implemented. The type of research used is normative research supported by empirical data. The results of this study indicate that the obstacles that affect the investigation of corruption in Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance consist of the minimum allocated budget, limited human resources, and facilities and infrastructure that are not following the cases handled. Meanwhile, the application of Article 263 of the Criminal Code in this case,  should have been carried out by the method of merging criminal acts, namely concursus realis, because the perpetrators carried out the initial act of forging signatures regulated in Article 263 of the Criminal Code and then resulted in the birth of corruption crimes charged with Article 2 of the Corruption Law.
Environmental ethics and sustainability of techniques. From hyper-specialisation to multifunctionality for a resilient inhabitable space
Authors: Losasso Mario
Published: June 2023

Crises represent crucial global dynamics events, which were predictable and have been with us for some time. In the new context caused by epidemic and pathogenic conditions, not only must it be reaffirmed that planetary society is an integral part of nature, but that the production processes of anthropogenic metabolism are part of the more general metabolism of nature. Climate change, a significant element of the contemporary environmental crisis, will orient living conditions within the global ecological crisis in a different way. The concept of habitable space, which is, above all, a space of correlation between society and the environment, considers technology as a factor in the reconstitution of a process that is symbiotic and no longer of exploitation of environmental resources. Recently, there has been a renewed awareness of place consciousness and of inhabitants/producers who, through a co-evolutionary principle, are called upon to develop “neo-ecosystems” according to a territorial identity principle. Rather than representing levels of identity that nevertheless express borders, the “local” category constitutes what is discussed and argued in common through a measure of involvement and intensity. So, the relationship between transition cities and urban resilience is part of the governance of the new phenomena of non-linearity. In metropolitan areas, the spread of new urban polarities evolves the concept of resilience towards a multi-scalar and multi-sectoral condition of adaptation and mitigation of anthropogenic and environmental risks. Inside this scenario, hyper-specialisation still represents the tendency of a technical character that induces the development of deep competencies but loses the critical sense of technique in its ethical and socio-economic interactions. Inhabiting and building evolved scenarios of society need a multifunctional thought that can develop and critically manage the choices and uses of technology in a design scenario capable of coherently integrating its contributions.
Towards a technical sentiment lexicon for the maintenance of human-centred buildings
Authors: D'Orazio Marco , Bernardini Gabriele
Published: June 2023

Following the “Cognitive Building” concept, in a few years, building automation systems were drastically improved to collect a large amount of user data. However, despite this evolution and the research efforts in the field, human-building interaction remained one of the least mature fields of building science due to the occupants’ complexity and diversity. Collecting data became simple and cheap, but transforming collected “data” into valuable “information” able to create an effective interaction between buildings and occupants remains complex. This work contributes by proposing a method to translate unstructured data, coming from Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), into information useful to improve the interactions between occupants and buildings in the management of the maintenance process. End-users’ maintenance requests, collected through a CMMS, were used to create a technical sentiment lexicon able to predict the priority of an intervention based on an inverted naïve Bayes approach. Sentiment lexicons are part of sentiment analysis, an interesting research field introduced to study people’s opinions, sentiments, emotions, and attitudes through Natural Language Processing (NLP). The technical lexicon is useful to immediately perform the priority assessment of contemporary end-users’ maintenance requests, thus being more rapid than traditional Machine Learning methods.
Fostering the consensus: a BERT-based Multi-label Text Classifier to support agreement in public design call for tenders
Authors: Locatelli Mirko , Pattini Giulia , Pellegrini Laura , Meschini Silvia , Accardo Daniele
Published: June 2023

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) concerned with allowing computers to process natural human language. NLP is applied to solve several tasks in the design and construction process. However, in scientific literature, no applications are related to the pre-design phase and the processing of quality objectives and needs. The pre-design phase aims to reach a consensus between the stakeholders' quality demands and the design solution, relying on written natural language. Human language is the most pervasive and richest form of human knowledge representation and communication; however, at the same time, it is ambiguous, prone to misinterpretations, and hardly machine computable. Moreover, the mandatory procedural steps of the public tender procedure exacerbate the risk of misinterpretations inherent in using natural language. The study provides a methodology to design, assess, and evaluate an NLP tool based on the latest language model (i.e., BERT) to translate quality demands sentences into an evaluation grid in the Italian public tender context. The methodology is validated against a case study of an educational facility tender. The first results show good accuracy and capability of the NLP system to translate natural language into a numerical grid to support communication and foster consensus among actors, clarifying the appointing party and end-user's objectives to be reached via the design proposals.

Published: June 2023

As the building stock plays an essential role in meeting Europe’s climate target, suitable strategies are necessary for the sector transition. This paper compares two dry-multi-layer walls characterized by different compositions: one applies heat reflective insulation with Phase Change Materials (PCM), while the second uses traditional glass wool batt. The experimental tests were conducted in a retrofitted building, the VELUXlab, a multi-testing laboratory located at Politecnico di Milano University (Italy), as one of the main outputs of the TEPORE project granted by the Lombardy Region. The temperatures and Heat Flux were measured through sensors between the inner and outer surfaces of the traditional wall (Dry Wall) and the false-wall with PCM (Active Dry Wall). The goal was to compare the two technologies evaluating the performance during daytime and nighttime in the winter season. Outcomes showed the advantages of the PCM application on space heating energy needs, revealing that their integration into the false-wall decreases the temperature by 1°C for a 30-40% thermal savings in the building envelope heat losses per week during cold seasons compared to the traditional wall. The study reveals that the PCM layer reduced the peak Heat Flux by 2.67 W/m2 during the accumulation and release period.

Published: June 2023

During the last years, many studies focused on automated processes for compliance checking intended to replace the current design verification practices. So far, the verification of projects in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation industry has largely consisted of manual processes, which result in laborious, costly, and error-prone. The compliance checking process addresses the project’s whole life cycle, from the design phase to the end of life. Previous researches show the applications of a Building Information Model Checking referring to the compliance with several national and international normative to meet standards requirements. This paper proposes an innovative approach to evaluate the compliance of school buildings with the measures to prevent and control the spread of Coronavirus, one of the most significant pandemics. A case study is then presented to validate the method. The school building is modelled using Revit software. Dynamo is employed as a visual scripting tool to customize the mathematical formulations of each safety rule from different standards for COVID-19 prevention. Revit and Dynamo are coupled to conduct the compliance checking. The methodology herein proposed allows for verifying the school environments showing their compliance with safety standards. Although the World is coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, this approach could be used to face other waves or different types of pandemics.
Testing the MODIS Thermal Modes for Dust Storms Monitoring

Published: June 2023

Climate change is one of the global issues that is receiving wide attention due to its clear impact on all living organisms. This is essential for Iraq since it was classified as the fifth most vulnerable country to climate change. One of the manifestations of these changes in Iraq is the increasing frequency and severity of dust storms. In this study, the Normalized Difference Dust Index (NDDI) spectral index for Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor bands was used to measure and track the dust storm that occurred on May 16, 2022, as well as to test the validity of one of the daily products of this sensor, MOD11A1, to measure surface temperature and emissivity before and after the storm. It was found that the MOD09GA product is effective in monitoring and detecting dust storms. The areas close to the Syrian borders were identified as the origin of this storm. On the other hand, the MOD11A1 product is not suitable for daily monitoring due to the large number of missing pixels that cannot be compensated by conventional statistical methods or spatial interpolation techniques, as the percentage of missing data sometimes equals half or more of the scene, despite the fact that both products are from the same location and time of capture and under the same weather conditions. Therefore, it’s not suitable for daily monitoring of dust storm phenomena. The average of these data for eight days after image processing can be relied upon to monitor other phenomena or applications.

Extracting, studying and interpreting the morphological database of a basin is a basic building block for building a correct geomorphological understanding of this basin. In this work, Arc GIS 10.8 software and SRTM DEM satellite images were used. The principle of data integration was adopted by extracting the quantitative values of the morphometric characteristics that are affected by the geomorphological condition of the studied basin, then eliciting an optimal conception of the geomorphological condition of the basin from the meanings and connotations of these combined transactions. Hypsometric integration was extracted for each region in the basin separately with the value of integration of the plot curve for the relative heights of the basin regions with their respective regions.  Hypsometry coefficients reveal that regions (A, B, C, D, and F) are still in their formative years, while region E is in the maturity stage and region G is in the monadnock stage of the geomorphological cycle.
PENETAPAN HARGA DALAM PERSPEKTIF EKONOMI ISLAM
Authors: Effendi Syamsul
Published: June 2023

Ekonomi islam memiliki konsep bahwa suatu pasar dapat berperan efektif dalam kehidupan ekonomi bila prinsip persaingan bebas dapat berlaku secara normal. Pasar tidak membutuhkan suatu intervensi dari pihak manapun, tidak terkecuali Negara dengan otoritas penentuan harga dengan kegiatan monopolistik atau yang lainnya. Persaingan bebas dalam hal ini adalah bahwa umat islam menentukan sendiri tentang apa yang harus di konsumsi dan di produksi serta dibebaskan untuk memilih sendiri apa-apa yang dibutuhkan dan bagaimana cara memenuhinya Teori ekonomi Islam mengenai harga pertama-tama dapat dilihat dari sebuah hadis yang menceritakan bahwa ada sahabat yang mengusulkan kepada nabi untuk menetapkan harga di pasar. Rasulullah menolak tawaran itu dan mengatakan bahwa harga di pasar tidak boleh ditetapkan karena Allah yang menentukannya.Sungguh menakjubkan teori Nabi tentang harga dan pasar. Kekaguman ini dikarenakan ucapan Nabi Saw itu mengandung pengertian bahwa harga pasar itu sesuai dengan kehendak Allah yang sunnatullah atau hukum supply and demand.Menurut pakar ekonomi Islam kontemporer, teori inilah yang diadopsi oleh Bapak Ekonomi barat Adam Smith dengan nama teori invisible hand. Menurut teori ini pasar akan diatur oleh tangan-tangan tidak kelihatan (invisible hand). Bukankah teori  invisible hands itu lebih tepat dikatakan God hands (tangan- tangan Allah). Oleh karena harga sesuai dengan kekuatan penawaran dan permintaan di pasar, maka harga barang tidak boleh ditetapkan pemerintah, karena ketentuan harga tergantung pada hukum supply and demand.Namun demikian ekonomi Islam masih memberikan peluang pada kondisi tertentu untuk melakukan intervensi harga (price intervention) bila para pedagang melakukan monopoli dan kecurangan yang menekan dan merugikan konsumen. Islam memandang bahwa pasar, negara, dan individu berada dalam keseimbangan (iqtishad), tidak boleh ada sub-ordinat, sehingga salah satunya menjadi dominan dari yang lain. Pasar dijamin kebebasannya dalam Islam. Pasar bebas menentukan cara-cara produksi dan harga, tidak boleh ada gangguan yang mengakibatkan rusaknya keseimbangan pasar. Namun dalam kenyataannya sulit ditemukan pasar yang berjalan sendiri secara adil (fair). Distorasi pasar tetap sering terjadi, sehingga dapat merugikan para pihak.
