Unlocking the potential for digital mental health technologies in the UK: a Delphi exercise
Authors: Murphy Clare , Thorpe Lucy , Trefusis Harriet , Kousoulis Antonis
Published: January 2020

Background

Digitally enabled services can contribute to the support, treatment and prevention of mental health difficulties; however, questions remain regarding how we can most usefully harness such technology in primary and secondary mental healthcare settings.

Aims

To identify barriers and facilitators to enable the potential of digital mental health in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Method

A three-round Delphi exercise was carried out online with 16 participants from across the four nations of the UK representing the following stakeholder groups: service providers, health professionals, policymakers, lived experience, small and medium enterprises and academics. Qualitative data were collected in the first round (80 fragments) that were then coded to produce a 26-item round-two questionnaire for participant rating. Participants were given the opportunity to reconsider their scores in light of the group responses in round three.

Results

Eight statements under the following five themes reached consensus with median scores between 8 and 10 (i.e. important/very important): co-production; the human element; data security; funding; and regulation.

Conclusions

The Delphi process allowed consensus to be achieved regarding the factors that experts consider important for harnessing technology in primary and secondary mental healthcare. Knowledge of these factors can help users and providers of mental health services negotiate how best to move forward with digitally enabled systems of care.

Published: January 2020

PURPOSE

In 2017, Cancer Care Ontario’s Program in Evidence-Based Care released the Bone Health and Bone-Targeted Therapies for Prostate Cancer guideline. This guideline included recommendations across a relatively broad clinical spectrum within prostate cancer. Topics addressed ranged from management of osteoporotic fracture risk in nonmetastatic disease to management of men with castration-resistant prostate cancer metastatic to bone. ASCO has a policy and set of procedures for endorsing clinical practice guidelines that have been developed by other professional organizations.

METHODS

The Bone Health and Bone-Targeted Therapies for Prostate Cancer guideline was reviewed for developmental rigor by methodologists. An ASCO Expert Panel then reviewed the content and the recommendations.

RESULTS

The ASCO Expert Panel determined that the recommendations from the Bone Health and Bone-Targeted Therapies for Prostate Cancer guideline were clear, thorough, and based on the most relevant scientific evidence. ASCO wholly endorses the Bone Health and Bone-Targeted Therapies for Prostate Cancer guideline.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The ASCO Expert Panel endorses all the original guideline recommendations as written and offers a series of discussion points to guide practice for clinicians as they manage bone-related risks within this patient population.
Humanitarian Detention and Figures of Persistence at the Border
Authors: Sanyal Debarati
Published: January 2020

Starting with Alan Kurdi as the “ideal” figure of the refugee, juxtaposed with the figure of the migrant swarm, which rehearses the contrast between humanitarian compassion and securitarian anxiety, this essay traces how these seemingly opposed logics meet in the “humanitarian” detention of children at Europe's borders. This essay examines the partial reinscription of colonial histories and their racist aftermaths in current technologies of surveillance, capture and detention. Adapting the figure of the Möbius strip to envision the relationship between camp and polis, the essay analyzes an experimental documentary on migrant detention at the Greek-Turkish border. In Blue Sky from Pain, by Stephanos Mangriotis and Laurence Pillant, detention sites contain unpredictable subjectivations, forms of dissent, and figures of persistence, even when the detainees are children. The film puts pressure on the frames by which we imagine the subject of human rights and the object of humanitarian compassion.
Fibroblast growth factor-6 enhances CDK2 and MATK expression in microvesicles derived from human stem cells extracted from exfoliated deciduous teeth
Authors: Othman Ahmed , Mubarak Rabab , Sabry Dina
Published: January 2020

Background: Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) are considered one of the most convenient sources of adult stem cells. This study aimed to examine the effect of fibroblast growth factor 6 (FGF-6) on SHEDs and evaluate CDK2 and MATK gene expression in SHED-derived microvesicles (MVs). SHEDs were cultured from deciduous teeth pulp.

Methods: SHEDs were divided into two groups: the control group and test groups, with and without FGF-6 supplementation, respectively. After the third passage, SHED proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. MVs were purified and CDK2 and MATK gene expression was assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. SHEDs were identified by their positivity for CD90 and CD73, and negativity for CD45 and CD34.

Results: SHEDs proliferation in the test group was significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.001). mRNA from SHED-derived MVs from the test group exhibited a markedly elevated expression of CDK2 and MATK, (P<0.002 and P<0.005, respectively) in comparison with those of the control group. FGF-6 enhanced the proliferation of SHEDs. Proliferation enhancement is favorable for the production of a large number of stem cells, which will then be beneficial for cell-based therapies.

Conclusions: CDK2 and MATK genes in SHED-derived MVs can be used as molecular biomarkers for SHED proliferation.

Deprescribing in older people
Authors: O'Mahony M Sinead , Parbhoo Anita
Published: January 2020

Polypharmacy and multimorbidity are both currently rising. The number of medicines taken is the single biggest predictor of adverse drug events. Deprescribing is an approach to managing polypharmacy and reducing adverse outcomes. Multiple international evidence-based guidelines are emerging to promote discontinuation of high-risk medications, and use of alternative medical and non-pharmacological management. This review outlines the evidence base behind deprescribing, and suggests some pragmatic approaches to decision making around medication review.

A anterioridade ontológica da individuação: primeiro estudo
Authors: Kreibich Susiane , Leite Thiago Soares
Published: January 2020

O artigo investiga a teoria do princípio de individuação formulada por João Duns Scotus, a qual fornece elementos para a compreensão do que torna algo indivíduo e o diferencia dos demais. Para Duns Scotus, o indivíduo é constituído ontologicamente por algo positivo inerente à substância singular. Ainda que os acidentes acompanhem a substância, estes não podem ser a causa da sua individuação, pois são posteriores a ela. Duns Scotus nega que algo que acompanhe ou seja posterior ao indivíduo seja a sua causa, pois esta deve ser intrínseca e positiva ao indivíduo. Ou seja, não é possível que aquilo que torna algo este indivíduo lhe seja ontologicamente posterior no ser. O artigo busca mostrar que 1) há distinção entre o que, contemporaneamente, podemos denominar de indivíduo e de identidade e 2) há anterioridade ontológica do indivíduo em relação à identidade.
Um percurso histórico – filosófico: A lei natural em Tomás de Aquino.
Authors: Ezidio Camila De Souza
Published: January 2020

Em meio as diversas teorias morais construídas ao longo da história da filosofia encontram-se aquelas que a partir de uma concepção de natureza humana fundamentam princípios universais e, apresentam a possibilidade de superação da ética relativista baseada no nomos. Tais teorias tem como base o conceito de Lex naturalis, (lei natural) que é de modo geral definido como um princípio universal e imutável, a partir do qual os legisladores da lei humana, todos os costumes e todas as ações dos homens deveriam se guiar. É natural devido a três fatores: 1- porque é inato à natureza humana ou 2- porque advém de uma reflexão individual independente de qualquer autoridade moral externa; 3- ou devido a ambos. O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar uma visão geral de uma pequena parte da tradição da lei natural mostrando sua intrínseca relação com a história da filosofia. Como chave de leitura teremos a teoria da lei natural de Tomás de Aquino, que de acordo com os próprios comentadores é a teoria que interpreta de modo sintetizador os autores da antiguidade, e influencia as discussões precedentes até o tempo presente acerca da lei natural e do chamado jusnaturalismo

Improved quantum key distribution based on Lucas-valued orbital angular momentum states
Authors: Liu Cheng-Ji , Zhu Chang-Hua , Nie Min , Yang Hong , Pei Chang-Xing
Published: January 2020

We propose an improved quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol based on orbital angular momentum (OAM) entangled states. Three Lucas-valued OAM entangled photons are generated by two cascaded spontaneous parameter down-conversion processes. Two photons are detained and detected by Alice, while the other is transmitted to Bob and then detected. A new scheme is designed to sift the original key bits. Compared to existing protocols, we believe our protocol greatly improves coding efficiency and is verifiable. The analysis results show that our protocol is immune to the photon-number-splitting attack, the intercept-resend attack and the classical information leakage. This work provides an efficient path to high-dimensional QKD systems.

Authors: Romanova Elena A. , Korsakova Svetlana V. , Rozhnev Andrey G. , Velmuzhov Alexander P. , Kotereva Tatiana V. , Sukhanov Maxim V. , Shiryaev Vladimir S.
Published: January 2020

A theoretical approach based on the electromagnetic theory of optical fibers has been applied in the analysis of the evanescent modes of a chalcogenide fiber bend used as a probe in a fiber-based spectroscopic sensor, by the example of the detection of small amounts of an antigel additive in a diesel fuel. The absorbance of the loop probe calculated for each mode was compared with the results of spectrometer-based measurements. The role of the higher-order evanescent modes of a fiber bend has been revealed. The efficiency of using a loop probe has been shown to depend on conditions of light launching into the probe.
Optical and frequency degradation behavior of GaN-based micro-LEDs for visible light communication
Authors: Ma Zhanhong , Cao Haicheng , Lin Shan , Li Xiaodong , Xi Xin , Li Jing , Zhao Lixia
Published: January 2020

In this study, optical power and frequency response degradation behavior of GaN-based micro-LEDs with bandwidth up to 800MHz were investigated under different modes, including direct current (DC) mode, alternating current (AC) mode and DC plus AC small signal mode at room temperature. The electroluminescence (EL), current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and small signal frequency response were measured during the stress. The results show that micro-LEDs under AC mode have better reliability because of the decreased junction temperature, but the high current density would still generate some defects within or around the active region, which can increase the trap-assisted tunneling (TAT) current and non-radiative recombination. The electrical stress-related defects not only reduce the effective carrier concentration injected into QWs but also increase the carrier lifetime for radiative recombination and Auger recombination and decrease the modulation bandwidth. These results will help to understand and improve the reliability of micro-LEDs operated under high current density and promote the application of micro-LEDs for visible light communication.
Sub-nanometer height sensitivity by phase shifting interference microscopy under environmental fluctuations
Authors: Ahmad Azeem , Dubey Vishesh , Butola Ankit , Tinguely Jean-Claude , Ahluwalia Balpreet Singh , Mehta Dalip Singh
Published: January 2020

Phase shifting interferometric (PSI) techniques are among the most sensitive phase measurement methods. Owing to its high sensitivity, any minute phase change caused due to environmental instability results into, inaccurate phase measurement. Consequently, a well calibrated piezo electric transducer (PZT) and highly-stable environment is mandatory for measuring accurate phase map using PSI implementation. Here, we present an inverse approach, which can retrieve phase maps of the samples with negligible errors under environmental fluctuations. The method is implemented by recording a video of continuous temporally phase shifted interferograms and phase shifts were calculated between all the data frames using Fourier transform algorithm with a high accuracy ≤ 5.5 × 10−4 π rad. To demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method, a manual translation of the stage was employed to introduce continuous temporal phase shift between data frames. The developed algorithm is first verified by performing quantitative phase imaging of optical waveguide and red blood cells using uncalibrated PZT under the influence of vibrations/air turbulence and compared with the well calibrated PZT results. Furthermore, we demonstrated the potential of the proposed approach by acquiring the quantitative phase imaging of an optical waveguide with a rib height of only 2 nm and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). By using 12-bit CMOS camera the height of shallow rib waveguide is measured with a height sensitivity of 4 Å without using PZT and in presence of environmental fluctuations.
Broad bandwidth dual-wavelength fiber laser simultaneously delivering stretched pulse and dissipative soliton
Authors: Jin Xinxin , Zhang Meng , Hu Guohua , Wu Qing , Zheng Zheng , Hasan Tawfique
Published: January 2020

We numerically and experimentally demonstrate the generation of broad bandwidth mode-locked dual-wavelength pulses with diverse-pattern from a dispersion managed erbium-doped (Er-doped) fiber laser. The two-peak gain profile of the Er-doped fiber is shown to have advantages in achieving broadband dual-wavelength pulses compared to a comb filter in our cavity. Our obtained bandwidths of 24 nm and 11.5 nm represent the broadest achieved in an Er-doped dual-wavelength fiber laser to date. In addition, the weak third-order dispersion (TOD) of the fibers facilitates two dispersion-pattern pulses (one stretched pulse and one dissipative soliton) generated in the near zero dispersion regime. Our results provide a convenient, effective way to obtain such sources for potential applications, such as in dual-comb metrology and multicolor pulses in nonlinear microscopy.
Switching the second harmonic generation by a dielectric metasurface via tunable liquid crystal
Authors: Rocco Davide , Carletti Luca , Caputo Roberto , Finazzi Marco , Celebrano Michele , De Angelis Costantino
Published: January 2020

Optical modulators are key ingredients in optoelectronics applications ranging from energy harvesting, sensor and imaging devices. In this framework, nonlinear photon conversion mechanisms constitute an attractive opportunity to add logic capabilities to these apparatuses. Here, we investigate the directionality of the emitted second harmonic signal generated in a dielectric metasurface consisting of AlGaAs nanocylinders embedded into a liquid crystal matrix. We numerically demonstrate that, by switching the liquid crystal orientation with a realistic voltage bias, it is possible to modulate the total power and the emission pattern of the SH signal coming from the proposed metasurface. Our results open important opportunities for tunable metadevices such as nonlinear holograms and dynamic displays.

De enunciación a modalidad: el caso de de verdad
Authors: Padilla Herrada María Soledad
Published: January 2020

En este trabajo centramos nuestro interés en el análisis del marcador de verdad. Trataremos de mostrar que, además de su uso ya asumido como operador que pone de manifiesto el compromiso enunciativo del locutor, también presenta usos en el español actual en los que actúa en el plano modal. Especialmente, nos centramos en los contextos en que puede constituir un enunciado reactivo independiente, en cuyo caso expresa confirmación. Nuestro objetivo es describir sus valores pragmáticos específicos como operador de confirmación dentro de este paradigma (desde luego, por supuesto, claro…) y nos planteamos su posible fijación. Para llevar a cabo nuestro análisis partimos de un enfoque macrosintáctico desarrollado a través de una metodología pragmática (Fuentes Rodríguez 2013, 2017). Para ello, nos basamos en las muestras de discurso mediado tecnológicamente que se recogen en el Corpus MEsA. Además, nos serviremos de los resultados que ofrecen los corpus Val.Es.Co. 2.0., CREA, CORDE y CORPES XXI.
Hacia una macrosintaxis del adjetivo calificativo
Authors: García Pérez José
Published: January 2020

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar las posibles funciones macroestructurales (enunciativa, modal, informativa, argumentativa) que cumple el adjetivo calificativo cuando aparece como enunciado independiente y establece, siguiendo la terminología propuesta por C. Fuentes, una vinculación de metadiscurso-discurso con los enunciados con los que se relaciona. Comprobaremos así que el ámbito de alcance del adjetivo no se restringe solo al sustantivo y, al mismo tiempo, ampliaremos el concepto de macrosintaxis, hasta ahora centrado en la periferia del enunciado, al abordar las relaciones entre enunciados, algo que también es clave para la fijación de elementos o estructuras que terminan siendo marcadores discursivos. Nuestra metodología es, pues, la Lingüística Pragmática. Para el análisis que se sigue se han utilizado tanto los materiales que proporciona el Corpus MEsA como algunos testimonios de la prensa escrita española, recogidos entre mayo y junio de 2018 y, para asegurar la cohesión temática, referentes a la moción de censura propiciada por Pedro Sánchez en ese mismo periodo.
Un nuevo operador del desacuerdo: ¿hola?
Authors: Moreno Benítez Damián
Published: January 2020

Se analiza la evolución de un marcador fático, la interjección hola, hacia un operador argumentativo del desacuerdo en el registro coloquial. A partir de la Lingüística Pragmática y la teoría de la argumentación se analizan ejemplos reales tomados del corpus oral y digital del grupo Argumentación y Persuasión en Lingüística. La novedad es que un operador cohesivo e interactivo como hola, cuya función prototípica es la apertura del discurso, puede evolucionar a un operador modal y argumentativo. En el plano modal expresa sorpresa y en el argumentativo desacuerdo y posible descortesía.

Perilaku Ekonomi Bank Syariah dan Risikonya Terhadap Rate of Return Bagi Nasabah Deposan Dalam Pembiayaan Mudarabah dan Murabahah (Studi Kasus Bank-bank Syariah di Wilayah Yogyakarta)
Authors: Mughits Abdul
Published: January 2020

This research tries to check the potency of risk of Islamic bank in defrayal of mudarabah and murabahah. This research was inspired from ascription of whereas one who said that the Islamic banks have not been risk because they have owned the guidance of risk management published by Bank Indonesia (BI). One way to assess the existence of potency of risk of Islamic bank in its defrayal product is using the theory of behavioral economics which’s in general differentiated to two categories, that is rational that which tends to be risk and irrasional that which tend to be not risk. Rational behavior is presented by the approach of efficiency market hyphotesis (EMH) and irrational behavior is presented by the approach of adaptive market hypothesis (AMH) And behavioral finance (BF). This research objects are four Islamic banks in Yogyakarta. After conducting by tracing of field data then found by that four Islamic banks affirm still face the risk in their operational, especially operational risk, risk of credit and risk of liquidity. From four bank also show that their behaviors are irrasional because tend to show the behavior of AMH and BF, than EMH. Thereby its risk potency tend to minimize to rate of return of client of deposan or third party lenders ( DPK).
Menggali Sosiologi Agama versi Sapen: Refleksi Lokalitas Menjawab Pesan Globalisasi
Authors: Al Makin Al Makin
Published: January 2020

Ilmu pengetahuan, demikian kritik post-modernisme atas modernisme, ternyata tidaklah selalu bisa dipegang sebagai sebuah produk atau cara melihat realitas dengan obyektif atau apa adanya. Ilmu pengatahuan dan obyektifitas dalam masa akhir modernitas menjadi bahan perbincangan dan banyak yang mempertanyakan apakah ilmu pengetahuan itu benar-benar obyektif sebagaimana yang diyakini banyak fihak. Dengan kata lain, obyektif itu belum tentu obyektif dalam arti yang sebenarnya. Ilmu dan pengetahuan yang dikembangkan manusia modern itu sangat terkait erat dengan ideologi yang menggalinya. Ilmu sangat dipengaruhi oleh konteks dimana ia di lahirkan. Kritik ala Foucaultian, yang tentu dimotori oleh Michael Foucault dan para penerusnya, terhadap berkembangnya pengetahuan modern adalah pada pengamatan jelinya bahwa kontrol kekuasaan terhadap pengetahuan selalu menyertai sejarah pengetahuan manusia.

Indonesia adalah negara agraris, namun tujuan swasembada pangan yang dicanangkan sejak dulu tidak pernah tercapai, kecuali pada tahun 1984. Kondisi ketahanan pangan dalam level nasional tersebut sangat berbeda dengan apa yang terjadi pada kehidupan petani lokal. Justru banyak petani di wilayah pedalaman yang hidup dengan ketersediaan pangan yang melimpah. Berdasarkan fakta tersebut, artikel ini memaparkan hasil kajian tentang konsep ketahanan pangan lokal, dan kemungkinannya untuk diadopsi dalam konsep kebijakan ketahanan pangan oleh negara.
Prinsip Dakwah via Media Sosial
Authors: Musthofa Musthofa
Published: January 2020

Media sosial menghilangkan batasan manusia dalam bersosialisasi. Batasan waktu dan ruang menjadi tidak berpengaruh. Media sosial memungkinkan manusia berkomunikasi satu sama lain di mana pun mereka berada dan kapanpun, tanpa merisaukan seberapa jauh jarak di antar mereka dan tidak terpengaruh waktu (siang ataupun malam). Media sosial memberi dampak besar pada kehidupan kita saat ini. Seseorang yang asalnya “tidak dikenal” bisa seketika menjadi tenar dengan media sosial, begitu pun sebaliknya, orang “hebat” dalam ekejap bisa menjadi “tak bernilai” oleh kekuatan media sosial.

Pelaksanaan KKN Berparadigma Integrasi-Interkoneksi dalam Menopang Transformasi Masyarakat (Sebuah Rintisan Pendekatan Participatory Action Research)
Authors: Salehudin Ahmad
Published: January 2020

KKN merupakan bagian integral sistem pendidikan tinggi. Oleh karena itu, sering perubahan IAIN menjadi UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, dimana paradigm keilmuannya juga berubah menjadi integrasi-interkoneksi, KKN UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta seyogyanya juga menganut paradigm tersebut. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, ada dua hal yang ingin dijawab dari tulisan ini, yaitu bagaimana paradigma integrasi-interkoneksi dirumuskan dan dilaksanakan dalam bentuk program kerja, dan apa factor penghambat dan pendoroangnya. Untuk menjawab persoalan tersebut, penulis melakukan penelitian di dua lokasi KKN di dusun Sanggrahan dan Rajek Wetan dengan  peserta  30 orang. Agar tidak semata-mata teoritis, penelitian ini metode semi participatory action research. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diketahui bahwa untuk merumuskan KKN Integratif-interkonektif perlu kesadaran bahwa antarilmu (agama dan sekular) harus saling terkait untuk menyelesaikan problem masyarakat. Hambatan yang sering terjadi adalah ketidak pahaman mahasiswa atas peran yang harus dilakukan sebagai peserta KKN.

Jenis penelitian adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan historis sosiologis. Pengumpulan data dilaksanakan melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pondok pesantren Sukamanah dan pondok pesantren Persis Benda 67 telah memiliki nilai-nilai budaya organisasi dalam bentuk peraturan-peraturan, norma-norma, nilai-nilai dominan, filosofi, aturan-aturan serta iklim organisasi. Nilai-nilai budaya organisasi pada Pondok Pesantren Sukamanah tertuang dalam visi dakwahnya, yakni membentuk pribadi muslim yang berakhlaq al-karimah dan ilmiah berlandasan aqidah ahlussunnah wal jama’ah, bersikap disiplin, berdzikir, berjamaah, bermusyawarah, berdakwah dan menekankan pendidikan pada penguatan aqidah. Sedangkan nilai-nilai budaya organisasi di Pondok Pesantren Benda 67 tampak lewat visinya yang berbunyi hayatul naqluha ibada dan wa’tasimu bihablillah, yakni bersikap disiplin, memegang erat komitmen organisasi, memperkuat ulumul Qur’an dan hadis, menentang bid’ah dan berjihad di jalan Allah. Dalam menyikapi perbedaan visi kegiatan dakwahnya, kedua pondok pesantren tersebut mengambil sikap yang berbeda. Pondok pesantren sukamanah memprioritaskan perdamaian dan toleransi, sedangkan pondok pesantren Persis Benda 67 memprioritaskan prinsip keharusan kembali kepada al Quran dan hadis.
Pengaruh Manajemen Laba Terhadap Pengungkapan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Dengan Mekanisme Corporate Governance Sebagai Variabel Moderasi Pada Perusahaan Yang Terdaftar di Jakarta Islamic Index (JII)
Authors: Sunarsih Sunarsih
Published: January 2020

This study examines the effect of earnings management on corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSR) with corporate governance mechanism as moderating variable. The size of the audit committee, the number of boards of commissioners, and the majority shareholding are the proxies of corporate governance. The tests used data obtained from all companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) during the period 2011-201. Data analysis was done by panel data analysis technique. The results showed that earnings management proved to have no effect on CSR disclosure. The size of the audit committee, the number of boards of commissioners, and the majority share ownership proved unable to moderate the relationship between earnings management and CSR disclosure. The implication of this research found that companies listed in JII are worthy of consideration as a company that is in accordance with Islamic sharia due to the minimum practice of earnings management. The variables of earnings management, corporate governance, and interaction results can explain the extent of CSR disclosure in companies listed in JII during the period 2011-2015 amounting to 41.94%.[Penelitian ini menguji pengaruh manajemen laba terhadap pengungkapan corporate social responsibility (CSR) dengan mekanisme corporate governance sebagai pemoderasi. Ukuran komite audit, jumlah dewan komisaris, dan kepemilikan saham mayoritas adalah proksi dari corporate governance. Pengujian menggunakan data yang diperoleh dari seluruh perusahaan yang terdaftar di Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) selama periode 2011-2015. Analisis data dilakukan dengan teknik analisis data panel. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa manajemen laba terbukti tidak berpengaruh terhadap pengungkapan CSR. Ukuran komite audit, jumlah dewan komisaris, dan kepemilikan saham mayoritas terbukti tidak mampu memoderasi hubungan manajemen laba terhadap pengungkapan CSR. Implikasi temuan penelitian ini adalah perusahaan yang terdaftar di JII layak dipertimbangkan sebagai perusahaan yang sudah sesuai dengan syariah islam karena minimalnya praktik manajemen laba. Variabel manajemen laba, corporate governance, serta hasil interaksi keduanya dapat menjelaskan luas pengungkapan CSR pada perusahaan yang terdaftar di JII selama periode 2011-2015 sebesar 41,94%.]
Gagasan dan Pemikiran Muhammadiyah Tentang Kaderisasi Ulama (Studi Kasus tentang Ulama di Muhammadiyah)
Authors: Isnanto Muh.
Published: January 2020

Pendidikan Islam bukan sekedar proses penanaman nilai-nilai moral untuk membentengi diri dari ekses negatif globalisasi. Tetapi yang terpenting adalah bagaimana nilai-nilai moral yang telah ditanamkan pendidikan Islam mampu berperan sebagai kekuatan pembebas (liberating force) dari himpitan kemiskinan, kebodohan, keterbelakangan sosial budaya dan ekonomi (Syafi’i Ma’arif). Ada kegelisahan terhadap pengkaderan ulama di kalangan pengasuh dan pendidik sehingga  muncul pertanyaan "akan dibawa kemana pemikiran kaderisasi ulama  ini?" atau "bagaimana sistem pengkaderannya?". Ghiroh pengkaderan adalah mencetak ulama sebagai sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas dan berkeadaban. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di Muhammadiyah memang sedang terjadi krisis ulama, bahkan ada yang lebih ekstrim lagi krisis da’i, yaitu kiris ulama yang intelektual dan intelektual yang ulama. Kedua, faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan ada 2 yaitu faktor internal bersifat kelembagaan. Kurang berfungsinya struktur kelembagaan di persyarikatan Muhammadiyah menyebabkan tidak berfungsinya lembaga-lembaga yang ada mulai dari tingkat Pusat hingga tingkat ranting. Sedangkan faktor eksternalnya adalah pembentukan pola pikir yang ditinggalkan pemerintah kolonial, menguatnya tarikan dan kepentingan politik yang masuk ke lingkungan Persyarikatan serta standar ulama di Muhammadiyah terlalu tinggi, sehingga tidak banyak yang bisa masuk kategori ini. Ketiga, problem solving untuk mengatasi terjadinya krisis Ulama di Muhammdiyah melalui kelembagaan maupun sosial. Secara kelembagaan, adanya kesadaran kolektif akan pentingnya pengkaderan ulama, dan secara sosial adanya kesadaran warga Muhammadiyah akan pendidikan kader ulama.
Orang Madura Perantauan di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta
Authors: Syamsuddin Muh
Published: January 2020

Pada tulisan ini dapat diketahui bahwa semua perantau Madura di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta adalah beragama Islam. Norma-norma agama berusaha mereka laksanakan dengan sebaik-baiknya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Di samping itu, para perantau ini sangat erat dengan agama mereka, dan memakainya sebagai identitas diri karena Islam memberi perasaan bangga terhadap mereka. Pemahaman mereka tentang agama mengalami berbagai perubahan sesuai dengan perubahan nilai itu sendiri. Perubahan nilai maupun pemahaman terhadap ajaran agama dapat disebabkan oleh perubahan dalam interaksi sesama perantau Madura itu sendiri atau pun karena pengaruh yang di dapat dari luar. Dalam hal ini, sikap solidaritas dan sikap pragmatisme masih mendasari sebagian besar dari perantau Madura ini, demikian halnya termasuk menjelaskan budaya remoh atau kesukaan menabung dengan cara tradisional masih ditemui di kalangan mereka di tengah makin tingginya pola konsumtif masyarakat. Penampilan mereka sederhana, lugu, polos, mengutamakan hidup kekeluargaan dan gotong royong,  pekerja keras, ulet dan tingkat survivalnya tinggi. Selain itu, mereka mudah beradaptasi atau dapat menyesuaikan diri  dengan lingkungan yang ada, barangkali berakar dari sikap pragmatisme.
Pluralisme dalam Tantangan Era Distursip: Implementasi Nilai Kepemimpinan Kiai Dalam Membumikan Gagasan Keberagaman di PP. Al-Qodir, Cangkringan, Sleman
Authors: Nurmadiansyah M. Toriq
Published: January 2020

Peran kiai dalam meningkatkan keberagamaan masyarakat berdasarkan hasil kajian penelitian ini, dapat diklasifikasi yang terdiri dari dua hal, yaitu (1) nasihat kiai sebagai spirit dalam meningkatkan keberagamaan; dan (2) kiai sebagai penjaga tradisi Islam-Indonesia. Pertama, peran kiai menjadi posisi sentral dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Di mana nasihat-nasihat yang dikeluarkan kiai, setiap kali ceramah atau pengajian rutin, secara tidak langsung mampu meningkatkan keberagamaan masyarakat. Misalkan, apabila ada orang yang malas mengikuti majlis ilmu atau ibadah wajib (solat), dengan nada menyentuh dan perkatan halus mampu membangkitkan gairah untuk mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan. Kedua, kiai sebagai penjaga tradisi Islam-Indonesia di Pon-Pos Al-Qodir terlihat jelas dengan setiap aktivitas dan kegiatan yang dilakukan. Ini artinya, Islam di Indonesia berbeda dengan Islam yang ada di Timur Tengah dan negara lain di dunia. Kegiatan dalam menjaga tradisi misalnya, ada khusus ziarah kubur, tahlilan, pelaksanaan PHBI, chaul, dan lain sebagainya. Hal ini salah satu identitas ke-Islaman Indonesia yang terus di jaga di Pon-Pes Al-Qodir dalam menjalankan aktivitas sehari-hari.
Tunggakan Perkara di Lingkungan Peradilan Agama dan Upaya Penanggulangannya
Authors: Ibrahim Malik
Published: January 2020

Artikel ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fenomena semakin tingginya tunggakan perkara di lingkungan Peradilan Agama (PA), yang dari waktu ke waktu semakin bertambah. Secara umum penyebab terjadinya tunggakan perkara adalah adanya perbedaan antara jumlah perkara yang masuk (input) dengan jumlah perkara yang dapat diselesaikan (out put). Fenomena tersebut secara umum disebabkan keterbatasan kemampuan PA dalam menyelesaikan tunggakan perkara, baik secara kualitas maupun kuantitas. Sehingga berakibat  proses peradilan  tidak berjalan secara cepat atau lambatnya penyelesaian suatu perkara. Dari latar belakang masalah di atas, maka artikel ini berupaya menjelaskan dua hal yaitu: faktor penyebab terjadinya tunggakan perkara di lingkungan PA dan upaya yang dapat dilakukan dalam menanggulangi tunggakan perkara di lingkungan PA.

Pengabdian masyarakat berupa optimalisasi pemanfaatan pekarangan rumah dengan system vertikultur dari limbah plastik sebagai upaya mendukung Indonesia bebas sampah dan mewujudkan ketahanan pangan keluarga di Dukuh Baturan Kecamatan Gantiwarno Kabupaten Klaten. Warga Dusun Baturan perlu mendapat bantuan optimalisasi pemanfaatan pekaranagn karena sebagian besar mempunyai pekarangan yang relative luas namun kurang dimanfaatkan dengan baik. Optimalisasi pemanfaatan pekarangan dengan system vertikultur dari limbah plastic ini bertujuan untuk memanfaatkan pekarangan agar dapat dijadikan sebagai penghasilan tambahan keluarga maupun sebagai keindahan estetika. Selain itu dapat Reuse dan Recycle sampah plastic menjadi media tanamnya. Metode yang digunakan meliputi observasi lapangan, mengkomunikasikan rencana kegiatan, pengumpulan limbah plastic, sosialisasi program, penyuluhan, pelatihan dan sharing bersama dan yang terakhir adalah mentoring. Hasil dari sosialisasi ialah memanfaatkan bungkus minyak goreng yang disulap menjadi media tanam dan botol minuman sebagai media tanam system vertikultur. Tanaman yang menjadi focus ini adalah tanaman cabai yang tidak dipungkiri setiap rumah tangga pasti membutuhkannya. Sedangkan tanaman yang dapat ditanam dengan system vertikultur adalah tanaman semusim yang banyak mengandung air (herbaceous) seperti bayam, kangkung, selada dll. Dewasa ini masyarakat dunia mulai memperhatikan persoalan lingkungan dan ketahanan pangan dengan melakukan suatu upaya untuk menghasilkan pangan serta yang hali ini dapat dilakukan dengan mensinergiskan dengan kegiatan pengelolaan sampah menjadi barang yang lebih berguna yang dapat mendukung kegiatan produktivitas terhadap kemandirian pangan yang tetap dengan nuansa ekologis, yang ramah lingkungan, ekonomis, seperti apa yang telah diharapkan dan dapat terwujudnya better environment, better farming , and better living.
A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE RENEGOTIATION OF PPP CONTRACTS
Authors: Shalaby Amira , Hassanein Amr
Published: January 2020

Public Private Partnership (PPP) contracts tend to have longer contract durations compared to other conventional procurement methods. A contract renegotiation becomes inevitable in most of the cases. The renegotiation process usually develops a number of scenarios in order to regain the contract equilibrium. The common renegotiation scenarios used are: increasing the service charges, increasing the concession period, or paying a lump sum amount to the party of concern in order to maintain a fixed rate of return and keep the return on equity constant. In this paper, a method of selecting the optimum scenario among the different scenarios is proposed. The aim of this research is to facilitate the renegotiation process by offering an automated system to select the optimum renegotiation scenario that preserves the rights and the interests of the project stakeholders. This is done using a weighted sum model to calculate the weights and ranks of a number of factors influencing the stakeholders’ decisions. A Decision Support System (DSS) is developed with the aid of Microsoft Excel 2013, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language, and the Precision Tree 5.5 for Excel add-in.
MEDIATION TACTICS AND EFFECTIVENESS IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Authors: Senan Mohammad Hasan , Alzaghrini Nadine , Srour Issam
Published: January 2020

Dispute occurrence on construction projects is almost inevitable. If not addressed adequately, disputes can cause contract termination and loss of benefits for all parties involved. Among various dispute resolution methods, mediation is gaining popularity in the construction industry as it satisfies the desired degree of control of both parties among other factors (e.g., time, cost). Mediation is a cooperative problem-solving method that benefits from the expertise of a neutral third party known as the mediator. Well-defined tactics such as creating trust atmosphere, tackling the core of dispute, and using advanced integrative approach for solution determination are essential to reduce the gap between disputants and ensure effective discussions. The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, it investigates common mediator tactics and relates them to the likelihood of having a successful mediation. The San-Ramos Channel case study is used to illustrate the efficiency of mediator tactics. Second, this paper takes a closer look into the use of mediation in Lebanon as an example of a country with minimal regulations on mediation. Barriers for an effective implementation of mediation such as the role and the influence of the engineer on the construction process and the mediator’s lack of technical expertise are discussed and recommendations are derived.

Published: January 2020

The earned value method (EVM) is a recognized management technique that is used for monitoring, evaluating, and controlling the progress of projects. The method’s employability challenges have consistently been addressed in the literature along with proposed enhancements that aim at improving its application. The overall objective of this paper is to synthesize those limitations reported to be encumbering EVM employability and to examine the main enhancements proposed for the EVM traditional set of metrics. To this effect, this paper initially validates the importance of project controls, as the top factor cited as being critical to the success of projects. Secondly, it presents a classification of the shortcomings reported to be impeding EVM employability, along with their corresponding improvement studies. As such, the paper looks at the temporal distribution of these limitation and improvement research studies, while shedding light on the trend of such interconnected research efforts over the last three decades. As such, the paper presents a synthesis of the improvements found to be affecting the representation, usage and measurements of the EVM set of metrics, with the aim of gaining perceptiveness on how the reported EVM shortcomings may probably be overcome. The findings revealed that the highest frequency of reported improvements (138 in total) was found to be pertaining to the method’s set of key parameters.
AN EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE UTILIZING FRCM SYSTEM IN STRENGTHENING RC BEAMS IN SHEAR
Authors: Wakjira Tadesse , Ebead Usama
Published: January 2020

This paper presents the efficacy of a new technique of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) for the strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This technique involves embedding the FRCM composites in the concrete cover and is referred to as “near surface embedded” FRCM (NSE-FRCM) technique. Five (5) medium scale rectangular RC beams of width × depth × length of 150 × 330 × 2100 mm were constructed and tested under displacement controlled with three-point loading. One beam was kept unstrengthen as a control specimen whereas the other four beams were strengthened with different types and configurations of the NSE-FRCM system. The test parameters were: (a) geometric configuration (intermittent strips of NSE-FRCM versus full NSE-FRCM plate), and (b) fabric types (carbon versus glass fabrics). The test results indicated that the NSE-FRCM technique can successfully be used to significantly enhance the shear capacity of the strengthened beams. The strengthened specimens exhibited an average enhancement in the shear capacity of 62% over the unstrengthen beam. The full NSE-FRCM plate showed higher enhancement in the shear strength compared to that for the intermittent NSE-FRCM configuration. Moreover, the specimens strengthened with carbon FRCM showed higher shear capacity compared to that with glass FRCM counterparts.
