Through the Looking Glass
Authors: Shalet Danielle
Published: July 2019

Masamune Shirow's manga, Ghost in the Shell, is a ‘cyberpunk' classic of the 1990's. It focuses on a fictional counter-cyberterrorist organisation led by Major Motoko Kusanagi known as Section-9. This classic manga was made into an anime by Mamoru Oshii and became a cult hit in the mid-90s. Its popularity fuelled the production of a number of feature length animated films as well as two anime series. It regained popularity in 2015 following the news that Scarlett Johansson signed to play the lead in a live-action version of the anime that was released in 2017. What is interesting about Ghost in the Shell is not only its ‘cyberpunk' motifs but the very transhumanist themes it conveys. Though considered a ‘cultural/intellectual' movement transhumanism has some interesting ‘religious' elements associated with it, albeit ones that may not fit the usual conventional understanding of ‘religion'. This is especially the case if ‘religion' is seen as the sui generis concept that it is popularly known as, rather than a cultural activity. One of the fundamental beliefs of this movement is that humans will advance physically, intellectually, and psychologically, not through the will of a divine creator, but through human ingenuity and technology. Another popular belief held by some transhumanists is one that suggests that in the 'not-so-distant future' humans will transcend their physical and mental imperfections by uploading themselves into a supercomputer. With transhumanist themes in mind this paper will focus on two main points. The first is that Japanese traditions can be used to strengthen the ‘transhumanism as religion' argument as proposed by Robert Geraci. The second will examine how-through the adoption of Japanese mythology and its articulation in Ghost in the Shell­-cyborg technology can be used to enhance spirituality, thus introducing a new method for understanding the traditional science v religion debate.
Everything Blended
Authors: McCloud Sean
Published: July 2019

In this essay, I open a discussion on how the blending and combining of cultural elements are understood and engaged in our classrooms and research. Specifically, I do two things. First, I illustrate that combining and blending practices, while perhaps more visible in the contemporary period, are a constant in American religious history. Second, I provide a case study of Third Wave Spiritual Warfare that heeds the anthropologist Charles Stewart’s suggestion that one useful way to approach syncretism (and its synonyms) is by examining the discourses and debates that individuals and groups have over what activities and ideas are viewed as such. Overall, I argue that we need to develop a method for both teaching and examining the appropriative bricolage that makes up religious practices.
Discourses of Extremism and British Values
Authors: Sinclair Stefanie
Published: July 2019

This article critically investigates the production of party-political discourses of “extremism” and “British values” in response to the so-called “Trojan Horse affair.” This “affair,” which first hit UK media headlines in 2014, relates to allegations of an organised Islamic plot aiming to infiltrate schools in Birmingham to radicalise schoolchildren. Though these allegations remain unproven, they have been used to justify changes in educational policies, practices and government guidance for schools, registered childcare providers, universities and colleges in the UK. This article explores the context that has shaped party-political discourses of “extremism” and “British values” employed in connection with the Trojan Horse affair. It investigates political agendas these discourses have been tied to and considers the impact they have had.

Cooperation as social form collective business
Authors: Valigurskiy Dmitriy , Arustamov Eduard , Pakhomkin Andrey
Published: July 2019

This analytical article presents an attempt to identify the most important intra-reasons that prevent the further development of diversified cooperative economy in Russia. The authors consider one of them to be the washout of qualified workers from the staff of cooperative organizations and enterprises, the lack of full replenishment of human resources from the number of graduates of higher and secondary special educational institutions of consumer cooperation, there is a decrease in the quality of the human factor in consumer cooperation, which leads to miscalculations and errors in the activities of cooperative enterprises and organizations. The second internal factor, after the human one, is the property one. The third internal factor, which in fact undermines the very foundations of cooperative construction, is a significant weakening of organizational and mass work with shareholders. The fourth internal factor is the recent transformation of the cooperative trading network. The fifth factor is the imbalance between the proclaimed ideas, goals, slogans at the middle levels of government and their further real embodiment in the lower management level.
Development of a model of the system of material incentives for workers of an industrial enterprise
Authors: Matveeva Elena , Simagina Svetlana
Published: July 2019

The article deals with the issues related to the development of a system of material incentives for workers of industrial enterprises. The enterprise as a system with the use of tuple modeling of the main processes is considered. The tuple model is a form of representation of the problem-oriented model, and allows us to consider the system from the point of view of taking into account the relationships of heterogeneous factors that determine the integrity of the system. Defined the characteristics (features) and elements, which characterize the totality of the properties of the system: algorithms, structure, numerical values of the parameters, the behavior of the external environment, administrative action, informational data and indicators of the quality of the system. The authors question the methods creation of material incentives with the tasks of daily formation and registration of the execution of replacement jobs, wages depending on daily results. These issues require a lot of labor and time masters, employees of the Bureau of labor and employment (BTZ), economists, accountants. Besides, efficiency in their decision is necessary that in manual control systems it is impossible to realize. The use of computer technology and information technology, allow not only to form a reasonable daily shift tasks and objectively take into account their implementation, but also fundamentally new to build a system of remuneration. In the developed systems of organizational management using computer technology, it becomes possible to quickly, differentially and reliably evaluate the results of each employee and the shop or site as a whole, providing economic interest in the strict implementation of planned shift tasks. The implementation of this technique leads to increased motivation, to productive, quality work, to economical expenditure of material, energy and other resources. It is shown that the quality and productivity of labor are greatly influenced by the methods of material stimulation. In the conditions of functioning of computerized control systems, it becomes possible to objectively reflect the daily personal contribution of the worker in the implementation of the plan for the nomenclature and volume, excluding subjectivity in the calculation of wages and bonuses.

Historical aspects of prestressed concrete application in the Russian construction industry
Authors: Oun Keo , Topilin Alexander
Published: July 2019

The article is devoted to the history of development, implementation, practice and prospects of development of reinforced concrete prestressing technology in Russia. It is important to expand the scope of application of prestressing technology. As practice shows abroad, it is widely used in road construction. The high level of rigidity and crack resistance of prestressed concrete determines the effectiveness of its use in the construction of highways and runways. Pre-stress, which increases the rigidity and resistance of structures to cracking, increases their endurance when working on the impact of repeated loads. This is due to a decrease in the voltage drop in the reinforcement and concrete, caused by changes in the external load. Properly designed structures and buildings are generally safe to use and more reliable, especially in seismic areas. On the basis of this technology can be made a significant step forward in the field of high-rise construction, where the main problem is due to the fact that the upper floors are extremely loaded lower. In the proposed embodiment, the number of storeys of the building can be doubled without increasing the load on the ground floor and the base. International experience shows high efficiency of the high efficiency of application of the preliminary voltage monolithic slab foundations of long, monolithic beamless slabs, the supporting device and the pedestals under heavy equipment, in load-bearing monolithic constructions of underground structures, including multi-storey. There are examples of pre-stress during the restoration of historical monuments. As practice shows, the prestressing of reinforced concrete demonstrates new opportunities and defines the prospect of development of reinforced concrete as a material for the construction of modern buildings and structures.

Authors: Hudaykulov Rashidbek , Mirzayev Tokhirjan
Published: July 2019

This article describes the improvements, strength and deformation characteristics of loess soils used in the construction of road pavements with a stabilizer T-RRP. With the help of laboratory analyzes, a recommendation was developed on the use of stabilizers to improve the properties of loess soils used in the calculation of the pavement design.

The use of stabilizers in road construction, in particular T-RRP, gives the following advantages: 1. Time savings during construction; 2. Saving ordinary building materials; 3. Shipping costs are eliminated; 4. Saving financial work afterwards; 5. Lack of repair later; 6. Minimal use of machines. 7. Minimal use of working force.

The degree of adequacy of the project. Interested enterprises in the project are: LLC «FAYANTRANS», PEC «Avtomagistral», SRRCO «Uzavtoyul».

The significance of the final results: the proposed methods of road construction, compared with traditional methods, gives the following advantages: the permissible load on roads constructed with the use of stabilizers in more than doubled compared to roads built in the usual way; reducing the thickness of the pavement by more than 25 % on the soil treated with stabilizers; built with the use of stabilizers roads increase their strength year after year; strength and stability of water-physical properties of clay soils used in the construction of roads, airfields, hydraulic structures; building with the use of stabilizers meets the requirements of ecology since it doesn’t produce harmful effect on groundwater.

In addition to the advantages noted above, the use of stabilizers allows: increase the service life of coatings; get savings on maintenance and repair; increase the pace of construction; improve the quality of structures being built.

Environmental disclosure analysis of sustainability reports the brazilian and international brewing industry based on Global Reporting Initiative - GRI
Authors: Sucena Erika , Marinho Marcia Mara de Oliveira
Published: July 2019

Abstract Environmental disclosure is a tool set that companies use to communicate their environmental performance to stakeholders. The organization Sustainability Report is the main platform to report the company's relationship with the environment in which operates. The Global Reporting Initiative- GRI is a scheme that develops and disseminates guidelines for this kind of account, to standardize and promote international report classification. The brewing industry is actively involved in the Brazilian economy, being a consumer of natural resources in great amounts. Thus, the objective of this article is to evaluate the level of environmental disclosure practiced in the sustainability reports of Brazilian brewering industries. The sample is characterized by the Sustainability Reports of the years 2011 to 2013 of the Brazilian companies: Ambev; Brazil Kirin; Grupo Petrópolis and internationals, Heineken; AB InBev; SABMiller and Heineken Netherlands. It was used four research techniques to analyse the reports: (1) Classification of indicators as the answer; (2) Adherence to treatment or GAPIE-GRI; (3) Effective Disclosure Degree and (4) indicators ranking the contents. Based on the obtained data, it can be concluded that the environmental information disclosure in the Sustainability Reports of the brewering industry, both national and international, has flaws such as: a) low disclosure GRI indicators with full adherence; b) lack of external verification of the documents; c) lack of financial correlation of environmental indicators; d) low quality provided information and e) lack of measurement information.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: A retrospective review aims to investigate the operative methods and therapeutic effects of the modified Stoppa approach for treating pelvic and acetabular fractures. Methods: 18 patients with acetabular fracture of the anterior column and pelvic anterior ring fracture underwent surgical treatment using the modified Stoppa approach. Some of the treatment was combined with the iliac fossa approach or rear K-L approach. Fracture reduction and postoperative function were evaluated using the Matta scoring standard and the Majeed scoring system. The Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine system was used to grade the literature review and create graded B recommendations. Results: Incision length was 6-12 cm (mean, 10 cm), operative duration was 50-150 minutes (mean, 85 minutes), and intraoperative blood loss volume was 400-1,000 ml (mean, 500 ml). 18 patients were followed up for 12-36 months post-operation. In the results of X-ray films, 12 cases were anatomical reductions and the remaining cases were satisfactory reductions. According to Majeed standard, 13 patients were excellent and five patients were good. Conclusions: Treatment using the modified Stoppa approach was suitable for anterior approaches, in which pelvic and acetabular fractures were sufficiently exposed, the fracture was conveniently reduced, less complications occurred, and curative effect was satisfactory.

Authors: KIRMIZI Serdar , KARAOĞLAN Muharrem , İPEKÇİ Fuat
Published: July 2019

Akut apandisit acil cerrahi gerektiren akut karın nedenlerinin başlıca nedenidir. Tanı ve tedavide gecikme önemli komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Serum inflamasyon belirteçleri anammez, fizik muayene ile birlikte yaygın olarak başvurulan ucuz ve ulaşılabilir tanısal araçlardır. C-reaktif protein (CRP) inflamasyonda karaciğerden en hızlı, en çok sentezlenen akut faz reaktanı olup akut apandisitde tanısal amaçlı kullanılan inflamasyon belirteçidir. Literatürde preoperetif ve postoperatif CRP değerlerinin perfore olmayan akut apandisitlerin histopatolojik alt gruplarına göre karşılaştıran kısıtlı çalışma var. Bu amaçla Eylül 2008- Aralık 2008 tarihleri arasında  T.C.S.B. İzmir Tepecik Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Genel Cerrahi Kliniğinde akut apandisit nedeniyle appendektomi uygulanan hastaların  ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası CRP değerlerinin histopatolojik alt gruplarla karşılaştırılması yapıldı. Perfore ve non-perfore flegmenöz alt grup apandisitlerde postoperatif CRP değerlerinin, preoperatif değerlere göre anlamlı derecede yükseldiği (p<0,005, p<0,001), inflamasyonun daha az olduğu eritematöz (p=0,05) ve  oblitere  akut apandisitlerde (p=0,38) ise  anlamlı bir fark olmadığını saptadık. Non-perfore flegmenöz apandisitlerde inflamasyon şiddetiyle orantılı olarak CRP değerlerinde preoperatif  yükselmeye yol açtığı ve postoperatif süreçte artarak devam etdiği gösterilmiştir. İnflamasyonun şiddetinin daha az görüldüğü diğer histolojik alt gruplarda tanısal değeri olmasına rağmen postoperatif değerlerde anlamlı değişiklik saptanmadı.
Prensa y divulgación de la historia patria en Colombia: la obra de Pedro María Ibáñez en publicaciones literarias e ilustradas, 1882-1919
Authors: Samacá Gabriel
Published: July 2019

En la Bogotá de mediados del siglo xix e inicios del xx, la prensa literaria e ilustrada fue una condición de posibilidad para el surgimiento y posicionamiento de la historia patria como saber legítimo. Gracias a estos impresos, los hombres de letras contaron con un espacio para difundir trabajos que, por su extensión y naturaleza, se diferenciaron de las noticias de actualidad de la naciente prensa política e informativa. A través del análisis de la obra histórica que el médico e historiador Pedro María Ibáñez publicó en prensa, en el presente artículo se sostiene que las élites letradas intentaron dar forma a una parte de la opinión pública, para que trascendiera las disputas partidistas producto de una fuerte pugnacidad política que devino en guerras civiles. El artículo se basa en la revisión sistemática de periódicos ilustrados, revistas literarias y culturales de la época, y una amplia bibliografía de contexto que permite abordar una faceta desconocida en el proceso de constitución y divulgación del saber histórico en Colombia.

Principles of State Registration of Intellectual Property and Means of Individualization
Authors: Novoselova L. A. , Grin E. S.
Published: July 2019

Commercialization of results of intellectual activity and introduction of rights to intellectual property into civil law transactions have revealed serious legal problems, including those related to the existing system of state registration of intellectual property. However, the nature of such registration, its characteristics and the principles underlying it are not given sufficient attention in the juridical literature.

State registration of results of intellectual activity and means of individualization has its own specificity. As a rule, the prevailing view in the academic literature is that registration of intellectual property rights should be subject to the rules that apply to state registration of rights to immovable property, which is not always justified. The article deals with the principles underlying the state registration of the objects mentioned above and reveals the features of such principles in the field of registration of intellectual property. The authors highlight the general and distinctive features of state registration of rights to immovable property and registration of results of intellectual activity. Examination of the features of the two registration systems reveals, inter alia, divergences in the implementation of the principles of unity, credibility, publicity, and disclosure. Also, the authors examine three basic principles of state registration of property rights: verification of legality of the grounds for registration, publicity and reliability of the register.

The research has made it possible to conclude that, despite convergence of systems of registration of rights to immovable property and to the objects of intellectual rights, they represent separate legal institutions. This is due to both a different nature of immovable property and intellectual property objects, and to different implementation of registration actions.

Authors: Tsukanov Anton Ju. , Semikina Sofija P. , Mustafayev Ruslan F.
Published: July 2019

Varicocele is spread in 35% of men with primary infertility and in 70-81% of men with secondary infertility, being common in 15% of the entire male population. The prevalence and recurrence of varicocele are relevant for investigating of the underlying etiological mechanisms of this disease.

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of connective tissue dysplasia in patients with varicocele.

Materials and methods. A clinical study is conducted in 148 patients with varicocele. A generally accepted minor congenital anatomical abnormalities were discovered during the examination. Electrocardiography, intervalography and echocardiography were provided among all patients.

Results. 129 people (87.2%) of the examined patients with varicocele had connective tissue dysplasia. The most frequent manifestations of connective tissue dysplasia are: malformation of ear pavilion (90.5%), asthenic body type (79.2%), disturbed occlusion and tooth growth (52.7%), arterial hypotension (47.3%). In the vast majority of cases (104 people, 70.2%) electrocardiograms of 148 patients with varicocele demonstrated different types of arrhythmia. In intervalography it was found that in half of the cases (83 patients, 56.1%) patients had disorders of the autonomic nervous system. During the regular echocardiography only 32 people (21.6%) didn’t have any heart disease, on the other hand valvular and myocardial lesions were diagnosed in other patients.

Conclusions. The deficiency of mesenchymal structures within the connective tissue dysplasia in varicocele is a systemic predisposing factor and requires a more in-depth examination of the cardiovascular system in such patients.

THE EFFECT OF DRAG FORCE AND FLOW RATE ON MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS IN PACKED-BED PERFUSION BIOREACTOR
Authors: DURUKSU Gökhan
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT   Packed-bed bioreactors provide larger surface area to volume ratio compared to the static culture on flasks. Therefore, these systems offer ideal production environment for large-scale culture of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but the effect of fluid dynamics on the cell-behavior of MSCs is not fully elucidated. In this study, packed-bed perfusion reactor loaded with different size of polymethyl methacrylate carriers was used to apply different rates of shear stress and drug forces at constant flow rate. The cell viability, cell-expansion, apoptosis and protein secretion levels were analyzed for both unmodified and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-positive (VEGF+) MSCs. The superficial stress was estimated to between 0.21-0.25 N/m2. The results showed that the shear stress reduced the VEGF secretion, and Caspase-3 was activated at high drag force, which cause the reduction of the cell numbers in the bioreactor. The reduction of cytoskeletal actin structures seemed to play the central role in this adverse effect of the non-planar shear stress.  The expression reduction of VEGF might also have critical impacts on the tissue engineering applications, in which the formation of vascular construct is essential.
BISBENZOXAZOLE DERIVATIVES HAD ANTI-PROLIFERATIVE EFFECT ON HUMAN CANCER CELLS
Authors: AYAZ Furkan , ISSE Qadar Ahmed , KHEEREE Rusmeenee , ERSAN Ronak Haj , ALGUL Oztekin
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT   A series of symmetric bis-benzoxazole derivatives were synthesized using one-pot cyclisation reaction between 4-fluoro substituted 2-aminophenol and suitable carboxylic acids. Synthesized compounds’ anticancer activities were tested by using MTT assay on human prostate (DU145) and breast (MCF7) cancer cells. Screening results revealed that all compounds possessed a high level anti-cancer potential by significantly decreasing the cell proliferation in prostate and breast cancer cell lines. Our compounds exerted their anti-proliferative effects in a dose and time dependent manner. Our results suggest that they can be highly potent since they were biologically active even at low concentration ranges.

Bupleurum L. cinsi (Apiaceae) yaklaşık 200 tür içermektedir. Bu türler, Kuzey yarımküre, Avrasya ve Kuzey Afrika’da yaygın olarak yetişmektedir. Türkiye florasında yer alan 47 taksonun 21’i endemiktir. Bupleurum türleri halk arasında çoğunlukla antienflamatuvar ve antiseptik aktivitelerinden dolayı kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte bazı Bupleurum türlerinin kökleri geleneksel Çin tıbbında soğuk algınlığı, enfeksiyonlar, sıtmaya bağlı ateşlenme durumlarında, hepatit ve kansere karşı tek başına veya kombine halde kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında endemik Bupleurum lophocarpum ve B. heldreichii uçucu yağlarının kimyasal bileşimi incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bupleurum lophocarpum ve B. heldreichii’den su distilasyonu yöntemi ile uçucu yağları elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen yağların bileşimi Gaz Kromatografisi-Alev İyonlaştırıcı Dedektör (GK-AİD) ve Gaz Kromatografisi-Kütle Spektrometrisi (GK-KS) yöntemleri ile belirlenmiştir.  Bu analizler sonucunda B. lophocarpum uçucu yağında ana bileşik olarak germakren D (%25.4), β-fellandren (%14.4), α-pinen (% 8.4), β- karyofilen (%6.0), hekzadekanoik asit (%3.9) ve undekan (%3.6). B. heldreichii uçucu yağının içerdiği ana bileşikler germakren D (%29.0), fitol (%7.5), spatulenol (%5.6), pentakosan (%5.1), bisiklogermakren (%4.5) ve hekzadekanoik asit (%4.0) tespit edilmiştir. 
GENO-SİTOTOKSİSİTE ÇALIŞMALARINA SİTOM YAKLAŞIMI

ÖZET   DNA hasarının kromozom seviyesinde çalışılması, genetik toksikoloji araştırmalarının temel dayanaklarındandır. Mikronükleus yöntemi, kromozom hasarını değerlendirmek amacıyla geliştirilen yöntemlerden biridir. Mikronükleuslar; sentromeri olmayan kromozom veya kromatid fragmentlerinden ya da anafazda geç kalıp kutuplara göç edemeyen kromozom veya kromatidlerden oluşan ve telofazda hücre zarı ile kuşatılarak kardeş hücre çekirdeklerine dahil olmadan sitoplazmada kalan, çekirdek dışı küçük cisimciklerdir. Bu yöntemde mikronükleusların yanısıra nükleoplazmik köprüler (NPK) ve nükleer tomurcuklar (NT) değerlendirilebilmekte ve hücre ölümü ile nükleer bölünme indeksi de ölçülebilmektedir. Disentrik kromozomların sentromerlerinin farklı kutuplara göç etmesinden orjinlenen NPK, DNA’nın yanlış onarımının; kromozom rearanjmanının, telomer uç birleşmesinin; NT ise gen amplifikasyonu ve/veya değişmiş gen dozajının göstergesi olarak sayılmaktadır. Ayrıca her hücrenin sahip olduğu çekirdek sayısının değerlendirilerek nükleer bölünme indeksinin hesaplanmasının yanısıra nekrotik ve apoptotik hücrelerin de belirlenebilmesi mitotik aktivite ve sitotoksisitenin tayinine olanak sağlamaktadır. Analiz edilebilen tüm bu parametreler mikronükleus yöntemini genetik kusurların, beslenme yetersizliklerinin veya ekzojen kaynaklı genotoksinlerin sebep olduğu kromozomal instabilite fenotipinin ve değişmiş hücresel canlılığın kapsamlı olarak ölçülebildiği “sitom” yöntemi haline getirmiştir. Bu derlemede mikronükleus yönteminin genotoksisite çalışmalarındaki yeri ve önemi ile sitom yaklaşımının bu yönteme kattığı yeniliklere değinilmiştir.
Lightweight Cellular Hollow Concrete Blocks Containing Volcanic Tuff Powder, Expanded Clay and Diatomite for Non-Load Bearing Walls
Authors: GÜNDÜZ Lütfullah , KALKAN Şevket Onur
Published: July 2019

Lightweight cellular hollow concrete (LCHC) block is a type of masonry unit manufactured by precast technique. LCHC blocks are produced by the mixing of Portland cement, volcanic tuff, expanded clay and diatomite for building applications. LCHC blocks are lightweight, and the frequent cellular holes provide excellent thermal and acoustic performance, fire resistance and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. In this research work, LCHC blocks with 28 different mix proportions were cast into a mould with vibro-compacting, de-moulded immediately and transferred to a storage area for curing up to 120 days in standard air condition at room temperature. The blocks were designed with 21 cellular spaces of 10 mm width. For each mixture, twenty four block specimens were prepared and tested in the air dry condition for compressive strength and water absorption in accordance with BS 1881: Part 116. This paper initially examines how volcanic tuff powder affects the characteristics of lightweight concrete masonry mixtures and investigates the use of quaternary blends containing volcanic tuff, expanded clay, diatomite and Portland cement to produce LCHC blocks for partitioning walls.
Methanolysis of Gmelina Seed Oil to Biodiesel with KNO3 Activated MgO-ZnO Composite Catalyst
Authors: Sani Hamza , Gaya Umar
Published: July 2019

The present study juxtaposes for the first time the heterogeneous methanolysis of gmelina oil over KNO3 activated MgO-ZnO with a NaOH base methanolysis for biodiesel production. The conditions for biodiesel production such as temperature, reaction time, NaOH (or KNO3 dose) and methanol-gmelina oil ratio were optimised. The 4%w/w KNO3 activated MgO-ZnO afforded high biodiesel yield (71.5 %) at 65oC predominantly consisting of C13-C25 cuts of linear fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). This heterogeneous catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyser, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed the selectivity to petroselinic acid methyl ester. The fuel properties of the biodiesel and its blends were consistent with standards. Relatively, the NaOH process yielded higher biodiesel (96.8%) at 60oC, 90 min, 1.2 % NaOH and 9:1 methanol-oil ratio.

This study aims to explain the basic values of madrasa management in Kudus, the values of developing madrasa in Kudus, and the excellent values of madrasa in Kudus. This research is a field study that uses a qualitative approach. Data collection uses interview, observation, and document study methods. Data analysis used the Spradley model, namely domain, taxonomic, compound, and cultural themes analysis. The result of this study explains that the strategic values in the madrasa lie in the basic values of the madrasa i.e. an educational institution whose main mission is to teach the islamic sciences. The next strategic values are the values of development which focus on a better quality learning model, namely curriculum, learning and output. Furthermore, the excellent values of the madrasa are focused on three values, namely the values of excellence in tafaqquh fiddin or mastery in the knowledge of Islam, the values of excellence in memorizing the Qur'an, and the values of excellence in the field of research. It is recommended that the madrasah aliyah  in Kudus also develop other strategic values to become excellent, such as international schools or ICT based schools.

Authors: Kasdi Abdurrohman
Published: July 2019

This article examines the Islamic dialectics socio-culturallywhich inspires the establishment of Islam Nusantara. The method used in this research is qualitative with historical approach and included in the category of contemporary history. The step taken in this research is to reconstruct the tradition of IslamNusantara along with its cultural roots that lies behind it. The results show that: first, Islam has become the religion of most of the Indonesian people and has played many important roles in various social, political, economic, and cultural backgrounds. Secondly, Islam Nusantara is a typical Indonesian-Islamicstyle, which is a combination between Islamic theological teachings with the values of local traditions, cultures, and customs in this country. Third, the characters of Islam Nusantara show the existence of local wisdom in Indonesia that does not violate the teachings of Islam, instead they synergize the teachings of Islam with local customs scattered in Indonesia. Fourthly, Islam Nusantara is an Islamic practice in the country as a result of dialectics between shari'a text with local realities and culture. Therefore, Islam Nusantara comes not to change the doctrines of Islam, but to find ways how to embed Islamic values in the context of diverse cultural society.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the contribution of Islamic community organizations (ormas) in maintaining diversity and religiousness are inclusive in Indonesia. This research uses qualitative approach and kind of research of Secondary Data Analysis (SDA). Data collection techniques with secondary data through the internet media. Data analysis techniques using three steps are: (1). Indentifying sources of information, (2). Gathering existing data, (3). Normalizing data of needed, (4). Analyzing data.The results of this study found: (1) The existence of Islamic organizations in Indonesia can be seen from three things: (a). Indonesia is a country that has diversity in the life of the community, the existence of Islamic organizations if managed properly communicative, controlled, transparent and accountable, it will be able to become a buffer in national development, (b) Popularity of Islamic organizations in the perspective of students there are five: Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhmmadiyah, Front Pembela Islam (FPI), Lembaga Dakwah Islam Indonesia and Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia. Organizations of Islamic societies that are considered popular by students are NU and Muhammadiyah, (c) The Government is obliged to discipline all existing organizations by making a set of rules in the form of Ormas Ordinances and Government Regulations. Real mass organizations are against the value of Pancasila and the UUD 1945, the government is entitled to be given warning, guidance until the revocation of the permit of the relevant organization, (2). Indonesia is a plural country. Pluralism can be seen from the diversity and religiousness of the community. The pluralism of the Indonesian people encourages us to unite in the unitary state of the unity of the Indonesian republic, (3). The formation of Islamic organizations aims to maintain unity and unity of the nation and also as a media aspirations of the community. The role of Islamic Organizations in maintaining diversity and religiousness that are inclusive in Indonesia can be seen two forms of Islamic mass organizations proven in history plays an important role in maintaining pluralism in Indonesia and Islamic organizations contribute positively to the development of Islamic education in Indonesia, (4). Islamic organizations in historical development have experienced many obstacles both internally and externally, government support is very important in the development of Islamic organizations in Indonesia.
