FONDASI ETIS EKONOMI PADA MASA RASULULLAH (SEBUAH KAJIAN HISTORIS-NORMATIF)
Authors: Fathurrahman Ayief
Published: October 2018

It is certainly undeniable that in Islam the source of ethics in the line of life is the Prophet Muhammad, including ethics of economic activity. Islam which was the beginning of its glory in the time of the Prophet Muhammad also had the concept of an economic system that should be used as a lesson and reference materials. Therefore, this paper will explain the economic activities of the pre-Islamic Arabs as a comparison with the economic activities that have been straightened out by the Messenger of Allah, which includes an initial strategy to build the economy of Medina, fiscal policy, so as to achieve social equity. The result of research shows that the economic activity of the pre-Islamic Arabs had become the World Trade Center, both in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula which was managed by the Saba kingdom and the Himyar government with the dominant agricultural sector having fertile land. It is also supported by the presence of the Maarib giant dam. In the northern part of the Arab, Hijaz (Makkah) which was influenced by outsiders such as Persia and Rome, with the most prominent trade sector, because the territory was barren and arid, but the geographical location was strategic as a place for the caravans to stop. The economic characteristics of the Prophet's time were social-religious which emphasized cooperative work participation applied to Muhajirin and Ansar which led to increased income distribution and welfare. This is where the concept of economic democracy of the Prophet is seen which does not have to be interpreted as the enactment of the principle of equal treatment, because according to the Prophet the Have Not needs to get a partial treatment. In principle, the Messenger of Allah highly prioritizes the achievement of mutual welfare.
TINJAUAN FATWA DEWAN SYARIAH NASIONAL NO: 75/DSN-MUI/VII/2009 TERHADAP PENJUALAN LANGSUNG BERJENJANG SYARIAH DI TIENS SYARIAH
Authors: Izini Suhardiman
Published: October 2018

In muamalah activity, Islam has provided a clear line of wisdom. Business or trade transactions are things that are highly regarded and glorified in Islamic teachings, whether done individually or in groups. The attention of Islam towards trading transactions has recently been responded positively by Muslims in the world, particularly in Indonesia. Sharia institutions have shown fast development marked by the growing number and variety of Sharia-labeled businesses. Multi-level marketing has also been affected by Muslims’ awareness of sharia-based behaviors in their daily lives. This has also been supported by the issuance of the fatwa from DSN MUI (Sharia National Council – Indonesian Ulama Council) No. 75/DSN-MUI/VII/2009 concerning Sharia multi-level direct selling (PLBS). This phenomenon has urged Tiens Indonesia to adjust their network system to the stipulations in the fatwa. This study aimed to analyze and describe as well as evaluate the network system applied by Tiens Syariah. Using the descriptive qualitative field study, the research is conducted in Yogyakarta Special Province. Data is gathered from observation, interview, and documentation. The obtained data was then analyzed qualitatively and explained descriptively. The result of research shows that based on Point 12 of the fatwa from DSN-MUI No. 75 Year 2009 concerning Sharia multi-level direct selling, the multi-level marketing company Tiens Syariah has fulfilled all the standards in Point 12. Therefore, the trading and network system of Tiens Syariah has been in line with the fatwa.

Authors: Jaelani Elan
Published: October 2018

Tourism is one of the five priority development sectors in 2017 set by President Joko Widodo, in addition to the food, energy, maritime sectors, as well as industrial zones and Special Economic zones (KEK). Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the contribution of the tourism sector to Indonesia's foreign exchange is experiencing growth from year to year. This article aims to examine the field of sharia tourism (halal tourism) in terms of understanding and perspective in the field of sharia law and economics, and specifically directed to the discussion of legal protection for tourists in the context of the utilization of sharia tourism products and services (halal tourism). Sharia tourism sector (halal tourism) is a new field and is a part of Indonesia's efforts in developing and developing sharia economic and business systems as an alternative to the country's economic development. Through this research, it is found that the implementation of sharia tourism activities (halal tourism) in Indonesia still does not have adequate legal instruments and specifically regulates sharia tourism activities, including the legal rules related to legal protection of tourists. Through this research, it is found several legal instruments that can be used as alternatives in the framework of efforts to provide legal protection for the use of Islamic tourism products and services. The legal instruments include UU No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and UU No. 33 of 2004 concerning Halal Product Guarantee, in both legal instruments there are at least several provisions that can be used as guidelines and legal umbrella, among them are; related to the fulfillment of the right of tourists to get halal food and beverage products; the right of tourists to get services in accordance with sharia principles; the right of tourists to avoid misconduct, khurafat, pornography, liquor, and drugs; and fulfillment of tourist rights to access to worship.

Published: October 2018

Profit and loss sharing system applied in the Islamic bank as an alternative substitute for the application of the interest system is deemed to successfully avoid the negative impacts of the interest application. It is also considered to be able to allocate resources and fund sources efficiently. The solution is briefly mentioned by holding the financing transactions based on three models, namely mudarabah, musharakah dan murabahah. In this study, there are several methods used to collect the data. It includes methods of observation, interviews and documentation. The data is then analyzed using descriptive analysis and qualitative approach. The research findings figure out that the realization of profit and loss sharing system based on mudarabah financing applied in the Branch Office of Syariah Mandiri Bank in Lumajang, in terms of Islamic Law, is valid since it already fulfills the validity requisites of mudarabah. There is only such dilemmatic consideration relates to the issue of assurance because of the difference opinion among Islamic scholars (Ulama) about the license of assurance itself aside of the emergency or in case that the suspicion toward mudarib emerged. The financing of mudarabah in Syariah Banking, particularly in terms of the application of financing calculation in the Branch Office of Syariah Mandiri Bank in Lumajang is completely appropriate since it already fulfills the requisites obtained in all Syariah Bankings and the Fatwa of National Syariah Council. The application of profit and loss sharing calculation in the Branch Office of Syariah Mandiri Bank in Lumajang is valid and appropriate since its realization is in accordance with Islamic and Banking Law. The profit-sharing ratio provided by the bank are 95.10%: 4.9%, 90, 69%: 9.31% and 87.10%: 12.9%. And this bank do not share the ratio of 100: 0 to their customers.

A Pull-down Dynamic Analysis of Two-Span Steel Frames Subjected to Progressive Collapse
Authors: Esfandiari Mohammadjavad , Urgessa Girum
Published: October 2018

Progressive collapse, also known as disproportionate collapse, describes a chain reaction of structural element failures in which a primary structural element failure results in the failure of adjoining structural elements. It eventually causes widespread structural damages and a disproportionate collapse. While high level finite-element models incorporating non-linear dynamic analysis will produce more realistic results in progressive collapse scenarios, they are computationally time consuming. Therefore, the development of a non-linear time history pull-down model that is validated with experimental results would be beneficial for producing acceptable and efficient design solutions, particularly for practicing structural engineers. In this paper, a non-linear time history pull-down model of a two-span steel frame is analyzed in ETABS. The ETABS model results are compared with experimental results of two steel frames with two-spans conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST experiments include beam-column assemblies from the second-floor framing system of a ten-story building and each span is 20 feet long. The numerical results from ETABS pull-down analysis showed good agreement with the results from the NIST experimental study.

Published: October 2018

Black oil production that flows from the reservoir is always affected by water saturation and is a common problem that mainly occurs in the subsea pipeline that can form hydrate compounds. The formation of hydrate compounds in the subsea pipeline is a common problem due to significant temperature drop and thermodynamic changes during production. The problem should be effectively prevented to ensure normal pipeline operation. The purpose of this study is to find out how to reduce the formation of such compounds which can inhibit the transport process in the subsea pipeline through the use of various kinds of insulation material. The types of insulation materials tested are Polyethylene Low-Density (LDPE), Polyurethane (PU), Polypropelene (PP), Polystyrene (PS) and Polytetraflouroethylene filled with Glass (PTFE 25% GF). The fluid flow heat transfer equation in stable condition and mean heat loss is used in PIPESIM software model to analyze the selection of the insulation material required in the prevention of the formation of such compounds occurring within the subsea pipeline. The results stated that the best material of the five insulation materials used is Polystyrene (PS), whereas the worst material is Polytetraflouroethylene filled with Glass (PTFE 25% GF).

Trait Self-Control and Self-Discipline: Structure, Validity, and Invariance Across National Groups
Authors: Hagger Martin S , Kangro Eva-Maria , Ries Francis , Wang John C. K. , Heritage Brody , Chan Derwin K. C.
Published: October 2018

The aim of the present study was to test the validity of the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS; Tangney, Baumeister and Boone 2004) including its dimensional structure based on competing one- and two-factor models, discriminant validity from the conceptually-related self-discipline construct, invariance across multiple samples from different national groups, and predictive validity with respect to health-related behaviors. Samples of undergraduate students (total N = 1282) from four national groups completed the brief self-control scale, the self-discipline scale from the NEO-PI-R, and self-report measures of binge drinking, exercise, and healthy eating. Confirmatory factor analytic models supported a two-factor structure of self-control encompassing restraint and non-impulsivity components. The model exhibited good fit in all samples and invariance of factor loadings in multi-sample analysis. The restraint and non-impulsivity components exhibited discriminant validity and were also distinct from self-discipline. Structural equation models revealed that non-impulsivity predicted binge drinking in three of the samples, and restraint predicted exercise in two samples, with no role for self-discipline. Results point to a multi-dimensional structure for trait self-control consistent with previous theory separating impulsive- and control-related components.
Does unconscious control depend on conflict?
Authors: Palfi Bence , Seth Anil
Published: October 2018

Unravelling the mechanisms that trigger cognitive control is a central question in cognitive science. Cognitive conflict is closely associated with the activation of cognitive control, helping individuals to follow their own goals. In this study, we examined whether the association of conflict and control holds when people are not aware of their intentions (i.e., they experience involuntariness regarding their behaviours). To induce unconscious control, we employed a posthypnotic suggestion (word blindness: that words will appear as a meaningless foreign script) on highly suggestible participants, a manipulation which has previously been shown to halve the Stroop interference effect. To alter the amount of conflict, we manipulated the proportion of incongruent, congruent and neutral Stroop trials between blocks in two experiments. The analyses revealed that the Stroop effect was reduced by the suggestion in the high conflict conditions (conditions with 33% or more incongruent trials), and barely at all in the low conflict conditions (conditions with 10% incongruent trials) compared to no suggestion conditions, thus, supporting the idea that a certain amount of conflict is required to activate unconscious control. This finding can also be interpreted in light of the two competing accounts of the word blindness effect (de-automatisation of reading and response competition models). The results imply that conflict between the response options occurs even in the suggestion condition and so the word blindness suggestion does not influence semantic processing as the de-automatisation of reading account postulates, rather, it is more likely that the suggestion facilitates the reduction of response competition.
The Role of Trust in the Social Heuristics Hypothesis
Authors: Montealegre Andres , Jimenez-Leal William
Published: October 2018

According to the social heuristics hypothesis, people intuitively cooperate or defect depending on which behavior is beneficial in their interactions. If cooperation is beneficial, people intuitively cooperate, but if defection is beneficial, they intuitively defect. However, deliberation promotes defection. Here, we tested two novel predictions regarding the role of trust in the social heuristics hypothesis. First, whether trust promotes intuitive cooperation. Second, whether preferring to think intuitively or deliberatively moderates the effect of trust on cooperation. In addition, we examined whether deciding intuitively promotes cooperation, compared to deciding deliberatively. To evaluate these predictions, we conducted a lab study in Colombia and an online study in the United Kingdom (N = 1,066; one study was pre-registered). Unexpectedly, higher trust failed to promote intuitive cooperation, though higher trust promoted cooperation. In addition, preferring to think intuitively or deliberatively failed to moderate the effect of trust on cooperation, although preferring to think intuitively increased cooperation. Moreover, deciding intuitively failed to promote cooperation, and equivalence testing confirmed that this null result was explained by the absence of an effect, rather than a lack of statistical power (equivalence bounds: d = -0.26 and 0.26). An intuitive cooperation effect emerged when non-compliant participants were excluded, but this effect could be due to selection biases. Taken together, most results failed to support the social heuristics hypothesis. We conclude by discussing implications, future directions, and limitations. The materials, data, and code are available on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/939jv/).

This paper is concern with a reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) bio-analytical method development and validation for Prasugrel in human plasma using photo diode array detector (PDA detector). The HPLC separation was carried out in an isocratic mode on an X-Terra C18 column (4.6 x 150 mm; 5 μm) with a mobile phase consisting of potassium dihydrogen phosphate [pH 3.0] and acetonitrile in the ratio of 30:70 v/v at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The run time was maintained for 5 mins and the detection was monitored at 210 nm. The percentage recovery was found 99.61-100.06 in human plasma. This reveals that the method is quite accurate. The linearity was found 15-40 μg/mL in human plasma. The inter-day and intra-day precision in plasma was found within the limits. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) obtained by the proposed method was 0.05 μg/mL. The percentage relative standard deviation (%RSD) obtained for the drug spiked in plasma for stability studies were less than 2 %.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 1, 2017, Page: 65-75

Published: October 2018

Microbial isolates from plant associated habitats are being considered as valid alternatives to synthetic pesticides. The aim of the study was to select beneficial fungi belonging to Trichoderma genus, to be added as soil inoculants, in order to develop an innovative, economic and suitable alternative to synthetic fertilizers for growth promotion of plants. The isolated Trichoderma were characterized and identified by morphological and microscopic analysis. The antagonistic effects of these Trichoderma isolates were tested against three pathogenic fungi; Sclerotinia minor, Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani. Dual culture technique was employed and percentage of inhibition (I %) on mycelial growth of pathogenic fungi was calculated. Isolates BC and KB, showed the highest antagonistic effect against S. minor by 100%. Isolate DH and TH showed partial suppression of F. solani y 64.74% and 70.94% respectively. Isolates HA and Y restrain F. oxysporum by 85.12% and 85.90% respectively. Hence, BC, KB, DH, TH, HA, and Y could be a potential bio-control agent, BCA. In vitro and in vivogrowth promotion study was carried out by seed treatment method.Isolate EO revealed highest growth promotion activity in all parameters. In vitro studies of seedling assay indicated that isolate EO exhibited best effect on almost all the parameters; root length, shoot length, plant wet weight, plant dry weight, germination percentage and seedling vigour index in in vitro condition. However, greenhouse studies indicated that GS showed highest shoot length, TH promoted highest root length and HA showed maximum number of leaves. Significant difference was observed inroot length in greenhouse experiment and plant wet weight in seedling assay at p≤0.05. The results presented in this study further reinforce the concept of biological control and plant growth promotion by Trichoderma as an alternative disease control strategy.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 1, 2017, Page: 85-94

Reinterpretasi Jihad PDM & PCNU Kota Madiun sebagai Upaya Membendung Laju Radikalisme Agama
Authors: Mudawinun Nisa' Khoirul
Published: October 2018

Islam adalah agama rahmat yang diturunkan diantaranya untuk mengajarkan perilaku yang santun. Namun demikian, citra Islam sebagai agama yang penuh rahmat kadang tercoreng dengan adanya kelompok yang mengatasnamakan Islam, tetapi berperilaku tidak sejalan dengan ajaran Islam. Hal tersebut bermula dari penafsiran meraka yang salah terhadap makna jihad yang mereka tafsirkan dengan makna qital. Di Kota Madiun, tantangan ini berupaya diredam oleh dua organisasi Muslim terbesar, yakni Muhammadiyah dan Nahdlatul Ulama. konsep jihad yang diusung oleh Muhammadiyah dan NU hampir serupa karena keduanya memiliki sikap moderat dengan menggunakan triologi: Tawasuth/itidal, tawazun, dan tasammuh. Kontruksi sosial konsep jihad kedua ormas ini berangkat dari pemahaman Al-Quran dan Hadis yang disandingkan dengan keadaan sosio-kultural pada zamannya.
IMPLEMENTASI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM (PAI) BERWAWASAN BUDAYA NIRKEKERASAN DI SEKOLAH
Authors: Mutholingah Siti
Published: October 2018

Konflik kekerasan yang mengatasnamakan agama sudah menjadi permasalahan serius. Hal ini disebabkan karena lemahnya pemahaman terhadap ajaran Islam itu sendiri, atau bisa dikarenakan pemahaman ayat-ayat al-Quran mengenai konsep jihad secara tektualis. PAI berbasis budaya nirkekerasan sebagai upaya untuk menumbuh kembangkan potensi peserta didik sesuai dengan ajaran Islam yang berbudaya nirkekerasan, maka dalam hal ini pendidik harus mampu menciptakan budaya nirkekerasan baik di rumah, di sekolah, maupun masyarakat sehingga outputnya adalah peserta didik yang mampu menjadi Abdullah (saleh individu) maupun khalifatullah (saleh sosial). Adapun dalam tataran implementasi PAI berbudaya nirkekerasan di sekolah dapat diimplementasikan dalam bentuk integrasi dengan kegiatan intrakurikuler, ekstrakurikuler PAI, pembentukan budaya sekolah berdasar pada nilai-nilai nirkekerasan, adanya kebijakan kepala sekolah dan integrasi dengan setiap mata pelajaran yang ada di sekolah.

This paper describes a case study for applying a hybrid electric propulsion system for general aviation aircraft. The work was performed by a joint team from the Centro Italiano Ricerche Aerospaziali (CIRA) and the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II. The use of electric and hybrid electric propulsion for aircraft has gained widespread and significant attention over the past decade. The driver of industry interest has principally been the need to reduce the emissions of combustion engine exhaust products and noise; however, studies have revealed the potential for overall improvement in the energy efficiency and mission flexibility of new aircraft types. The goal of the present study was to demonstrate the feasibility of aeronautic parallel hybrid electric propulsion for light aircraft, varying mission profiles and electric configurations. Through the creation and application of a global model with AMESim® software, in which every aspect of the components chosen by the industrial partners can be represented, some interesting studies were carried out. The numerical model used was more complete and more accurate compared to some others available in the literature. In particular, it was confirmed that, for particular missions, integrating state-of-the-art technologies provides notable advantages for aircraft hybrid electric propulsion for light aircraft.

Published: October 2018

The influence of driving conditions on the phase-modulation ability of an optically addressable spatial-light modulator (OASLM) is investigated using an equivalent circuit method and a system for measuring wave-front modulation that uses a phase-unwrapping data-processing method, and is constructed with a charge-coupled device and wave-front sensor. 1λ peak-to-valley phase change for a 1053 nm laser beam is acquired with the home-made OASLM at the optimal driving voltage of 14 V at 200 Hz. The detection system for wave-front modulation has a spatial resolution of 200 µm for binary images and a minimum distinguishable contrast of 1 mm. On-line phase modulation with feedback control can be acquired with the OASLM and the corresponding measuring system.

Published: October 2018

Industrial and academic communities have embarked on investigating the sustainability of vehicles that contain embedded electrochemical energy storage systems. Circular economy strategies for electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery systems are underpinned by implicit assumptions about the state of health (SOH) of the battery. The internal resistance of battery systems is the essential property for determining available power, energy efficiency, and heat generation. Consequently, precise measurement is crucial to estimate the SOH; however, the international standards and best practice guides that exist to define the measurements include long preconditioning and rest times that make the test duration prohibitive. The aim of this research is to critically evaluate whether test duration times for internal resistance measurements can be reduced to values that may facilitate further end-of-life (EOL) options. Results reveal a newly developed technique using pulse-multisines is two to four times faster to perform when compared to the standard protocol whilst maintaining accuracy for battery electric vehicle (BEV) and HEV cells, respectively. This novel method allows different stakeholders to rank the relative importance of test accuracy verses experimental test time when categorising used Li-ion cells for different EOL applications.

As a chronic disease encompassing a wide spectrum of liver-related histologic damage, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming a global epidemic with significant impacts on all-cause morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus predispose individuals to NAFLD and related complications. Therefore, timely intervention with anti-diabetic medications may prevent and delay the development of NAFLD or have a therapeutic implication. The focus of this review is to evaluate the evidence supporting the efficacy of anti-diabetic medications in the treatment of NAFLD. While many of these anti-diabetic agents have shown to improve biochemical parameters, their effect on hepatic histology is limited. Among anti-diabetic medications, only thiazolidinediones and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists demonstrate significant improvement in hepatic histology.

Published: October 2018

In this paper, a shape optimization method of a truncated conical point absorber wave energy converter is proposed. This method converts the wave energy absorption efficiency into the matching problem between the wave spectrum of the South China Sea and the buoy’s absorption power spectrum. An objective function which combines these two spectra is established to reflect the energy absorbing efficiency. By applying Taguchi design, the frequency domain hydrodynamic analysis and the response surface method (RSM), the radius, cone angle and draft of the buoy are optimized. Since the significant influence of power take-off system (PTO) on energy absorption, the optimal PTO damping under random wave conditions is also studied. The optimal shape is acquired by maximizing the energy absorbing efficiency. Four types of performance and the influence of each geometrical parameter are also obtained. In addition, the cause of the trend of performance as well as the effects of adjusting the input parameters are analyzed. This study can provide guidance for the shape optimization of multi-parameter buoys.
Dynamic Matrix Control for the Thermal Power of MHTGR-Based Nuclear Steam Supply System

Published: October 2018

The modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) based nuclear steam supplying system (NSSS) is constituted by an MHTGR, a once-through steam generator (OTSG) and can generate superheated steam for industrial heat or electric power generation. The wide range closed-loop stability is achieved by the recently proposed coordinated control law, in which the neutron flux and the temperatures of both main steam and primary coolant are chosen as controlled variables, and the flowrates of both primary and secondary loop and the control rod speed are chosen as manipulated variables. However, the thermal power is only controlled in open loop manner and hence could be further optimized through feedback. Motivated by this, a dynamic matrix control (DMC) is proposed for optimizing the thermal power of MHTGR based NSSS. A simple step-response model with the thermal power response data is utilized in designing the DMC. The design objective of DMC is to optimize the deviation of the thermal power from its reference under its rate constraint. Then, by the virtue of strong stability of existing control law and optimization ability of DMC, a cascade control structure is implemented for the thermal power optimization, with the coordinated control law in the inner loop and DMC in the outer loop. Numerical simulation results show the satisfactory improvement of thermal power response. This cascade control structure inherits the advantages of both proportional-integral-differential (PID) control and DMC, by which the zeros offset and the short settling time of thermal power are realized.
