THE DAKWAH TRILOGY OF RHOMA IRAMA IN THE INDONESIAN DANGDUT MUSIC STAGE
Authors: Firdaus Firdaus
Published: February 2024

This research delves into the way Rhoma Irama integrates the arts of music, religious preaching, and politics within the urgency of his religious propagation. Rhoma Irama has successfully utilized the art of music, especially in the dangdut genre, as an effective tool to convey the message of religious preaching. Through song lyrics and his performances, he has communicated messages of morality, religion, and nationalism to a wide audience. The art of music serves as a bridge connecting Rhoma Irama with his fans, enabling him to inspire and influence many people through this art. This research employs an interactive qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The descriptive approach is utilized to examine and clarify occurring phenomena by gathering data from relevant literature studies aligned with the research focus. The collected data is subsequently analyzed using explanatory analysis techniques. This study aims to demonstrate the role of Rhoma Irama in integrating his passion for dangdut music as well as his efforts in realizing moral and religious values, thus transforming it into a pursued medium of religious propagation. The results of this study indicate that a prominent aspect of Rhoma Irama's preaching is his active involvement in efforts to disseminate the teachings of Islam to the community. Rhoma Irama emerges as a figure who plays a significant role in spreading religious, moral, and nationalistic messages in Indonesia. His contribution extends not only to the world of music but also in other forms that shape social and political order. In this ever-evolving era, the understanding of how art, preaching, and politics can mutually support each other in the urgency of proselytizing can provide valuable insights into the comprehension of religion, art, and politics in contemporary society.

The paper underscores the profound impact of Islamic principles in promoting understanding, unity, and peaceful coexistence within societal constructs. Drawing from various facets of Islamic teachings deeply rooted in the Qur'an and the Prophet's guidance, the study advocates for compassion, justice, and inclusivity in societal construction. The convergence of these principles serves as a beacon for fostering coexistence and justice, offering pathways to construct harmonious societies. Following an extensive exploration of inter-group relations in the region, the study proposes a set of recommendations to address challenges and cultivate lasting harmony. These recommendations encompass initiatives such as education and awareness programs to bridge gaps, community-based conflict resolution mechanisms, advocacy for inclusive governance, support for interfaith dialogue and collaboration, civic engagement and empowerment, enhanced security measures, collaboration with NGOs and international bodies, media sensitization campaigns, incorporation of Islamic perspectives into education and outreach, and continual research for adaptive strategies and effectiveness monitoring. The implementation of these recommendations is envisioned to create an environment conducive to peaceful coexistence, understanding, and shared prosperity within Nigeria, particularly Taraba State.
THE ROLE OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF AN ISLAMIC-VALUE-BASED SCHOOL
Authors: Rohimah Rohimah
Published: February 2024

Extracurricular activities are school-based initiatives aimed at developing the abilities of students, not only in terms of skill enhancement but also in gaining insights and knowledge while helping to shape the character of participants in their respective fields. In managing the school environment with an Islamic value system, there are inevitably numerous shortcomings. These may include a tight schedule for extracurricular practices, insufficient facilities, and a lack of maintenance for extracurricular inventories. It's not only the extracurricular activities that need attention; the factors influencing school environmental management must also be upheld. This ensures the execution of attitudes, the observance of rules, and adherence to school regulations. Similarly, implementing Islamic values places the responsibility on students to engage in religious activities while at school. This practice serves to facilitate a smoother workflow during various school activities, both inside and outside the classroom.
This research aims to explore the role of extracurricular activities in the school environment management that implements Islamic values at Perguruan Rakyat 2 High School in Pondok Kelapa, East Jakarta. The application of Islamic values, encompassing faith (akidah), worship (ibadah), and morality (akhlak), serves as a foundational aspect of Islamic character education. These values are not only integrated into the formal learning process but also extend to various other activities within the educational institution. The successful implementation of these Islamic values relies on the support of educators or school authorities who are enthusiastic about reinforcing Islamic character education. Their dedication plays a crucial role in instilling these values, ensuring that they become ingrained in the character of students at Perguruan Rakyat 2 High School in Jakarta. This integration is achieved through a combination of structured learning activities and other engagements within the educational institution.
The method employed in this research is a qualitative approach, specifically using a descriptive type. The research findings indicate that the application of Islamic values, in the form of written words derived from the obtained data sources, utilizes the Case Studies method. The aim is to obtain a comprehensive and in-depth overview. The results of this study reveal the roles of Islamic Education teachers and other educators in extracurricular activities within the school's environmental management that implements Islamic values at Perguruan Rakyat 2 High School in Jakarta. The development of extracurricular activities and the environmental management of the school, incorporating Islamic values, are found to be progressing well. This is attributed to the active involvement and optimal performance of Islamic Education teachers and other educators. The Case Studies method proves effective in providing a complete and nuanced understanding of the overall scenario.
ANALYSIS OF THE COST OF ORGANIZING THE HAJJ WORSHIP (BPIH)
Authors: Nursanita Nursanita , Faruqi Faris
Published: February 2024

Hajj is an obligation on the fifth pillar of Islam where every Muslim who is able or istithoah will go on pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Indonesia is the largest Hajj congregation but the costs borne by each pilgrim increase every year. This research seeks a solution by dissecting BIPIH using efficiency theory. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Secondary data is used to analyze efficiency. It can be concluded that efficiency can be implemented by the government with a policy of reducing the costs charged to pilgrims to indirect costs, such as health protocols and other costs with the stipulation of the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2022, so that the costs of organizing the Hajj pilgrimage are funded from the current year's benefit value or it is even appropriate to be charged to the APBN considering that the Muslim population is 85% of the population of the Republic of Indonesia.
Analysis of QA System Behavior against Context and Question Changes
Authors: Karra Rachid , Lasfar Abdelali
Published: February 2024

Data quality has gained increasing attention across various research domains, including pattern recognition, image processing, and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The goal of this paper is to explore the impact of data quality (both questions and context) on Question-Answering (QA) system performance. We introduced an approach to enhance the results of the QA system through context simplification. The strength of our methodology resides in the utilization of human-scale NLP models. This approach promotes the utilization of multiple specialized models within the workflow to enhance the QA system’s outcomes, rather than relying solely on resource-intensive Large Language Model (LLM). We demonstrated that this method improves the correct response rate of the QA system without modification or additional training of the model. In addition, we conducted a cross-disciplinary study involving NLP and linguistics. We analyzed QA system results to showcase their correlation with readability and text complexity linguistic metrics using Coh-Metrix. Lastly, we explore the robustness of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and Reliable National Entrance Test (R-NET) models when confronted with noisy questions.
Integrated Shared Random Key Agreement Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Thanganadar Anusha , Raman Venkatesan
Published: February 2024

The secured data transmission in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) relies on effective key generation and secured sharing. The generated key must be random to enhance data confidentiality. The processes associated with the security in WSN must be designed at reduced computing time and communication cost. Our research work aims to design a novel lightweight key-sharing protocol that is needed for ensuring data confidentiality. The protocol must meet the constraints of WSN by being lightweight and consuming less energy. Security breaches in WSNs occur due to insecure keys. This can be overcome by generating shared keys which are generated once using the dynamic features of Sensor Nodes (SNs) when the Cluster Heads (CHs) are selected. In this research work, we have generated the Master Shared Key (MSK) at the transmitter node by forming a Galois Ring (GR) using WSN parameters and derived the Shared Random Key (SRK) using matched positions of exchanged Random Sequences (RSs). It is protected using a Physically Unclonable Function (PUF). The novelty lies in the SRK generation from MSK which is chosen at random from the polynomials generated during the formation of GR. The MSK is securely shared with the receiver node by encrypting using a Preloaded Key (PK). After this exchange, the key for encryption and decryption is derived by the transmitter and the receiver by exchanging RSs. The SRK is then encrypted using a key which is a unique fingerprint of the SN generated using PUF and stored in the SNs and the CHs to prevent node capture attack that occurs in WSN. Our proposed Shared Random Key Agreement Protocol (SRKAP) is comparable to the Localized Encryption and Authentication Protocol (LEAP) and performs better compared to the Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) algorithm

Effects of Geometric Parameters of Perforated Diffuser on Sound Pressure Level Sourced By Airflow
Authors: ERDOĞAN Ahmet , AKSOY İshak Gökhan , CANBAZOĞLU Suat
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the aeroacoustic behaviors of a square truncated perforated diffuser under airflow, commonly used in Air Handling Units (AHUs). The design parameters are fundamentally taken into account to unveil the aeroacoustic performance of the diffuser. Initially, unsteady-state Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are conducted based on models that accurately represent the fluid domain of the chamber with the perforated diffuser in the ANSYS Fluent environment. Subsequently, the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) method integrated into the software is employed to acquire time-dependent signals from microphones placed in three different locations within a perforated diffuser chamber. Finally, the results are converted to a frequency range of 0-1000 Hz using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method, and the SPL values are obtained. The results show that the microphone location is crucially important to determine SPL and the porosity reduction from 0.55 to 0.35 can reduce SPL by approximately 30-40 dB. Variations in wall thickness of the diffuser fluctuated between 5-10 dB at each frequency value.

Authors: Sarı Zeynel Abidin , Turan M. Deniz
Published: February 2024

Çinko ekstraksiyon artığı (Ç.E.A) önemli miktarda çinko, kurşun, vb. metal bileşikleri içerir, dolayısıyla ikincil bir metal kaynağı olarak kabul edilirler. Bu çalışmada, çinko ekstraksiyon artığının sülfürik asit ve potasyum dikromat varlığında çeşitli parametrelerde selektif olarak liç edilerek optimum şartlarda endüstriyel korozyon önleyici çinko kromat kompleks çözeltisi (Zn(CrO4)2-) üretilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bunun için liç deneyleri, çoklu manyetik karıştırıcılı balon ısıtıcı bir düzenek vasıtasıyla 100 ml’lik cam balonlarda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre artan liç sıcaklığı ile birlikte çinko kazanımının arttığı diğer taraftan selektifliği azaltan demirin ise sınırlı oranda çözündüğü belirlenmiştir. Optimum şartlar olarak 0.5 M sülfürik asit (H2SO4) derişimi, 0.5 M potasyum dikromat (K2Cr2O7) derişimi, 368 K liç sıcaklığı, 180 dk liç süresi, 25 mL/g sıvı-katı oranı ve 600 rpm karıştırma hızında Zn ve Fe ekstraksiyon verimleri sırasıyla %81.5 ve %5.3 olarak bulunmuştur. Diğer taraftan liç çözeltisinde çinko kromat kompleksi varlığını ortaya koymak için yapılan Raman spektroskopisi analizinde Zn2+ iyonlarının kromat (CrO42-) ile koordinasyon halinde bulunduğu belirlendi. Raman spektroskopisi ile hesaplanan koordinasyon sayısının 3,6 olduğu ortaya çıktı, bu da çözeltide Zn(CrO4)2- mevcudiyetinin var olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca optimum şartlarda Pb’nin hiç çözünmediği ve liç kalıntısında sülfatları ve/veya kısmen kromatları şeklinde kaldığı saptandı.

ABSTRACT: The plan to open a medical study program at the Borneo Tarakan University in 2023, of course, must be accompanied by careful planning of structural components. Building elements will actually be designed using a Special Moment Resisting Frame System (SRPMK). Thus, the building is planned to have a high level of ductility against earthquake loads. One of the most important structural components, namely columns, must be designed using the latest standards, namely SNI 2847-2019. The column must be designed with the Strong Column Weak Beam concept to allow damage to occur to the beam first when the structure's ductility level against earthquake loads has been exceeded. The results of the design of the columns in the building are all using K-300 concrete quality and using BJTS-420 quality reinforcement steel for longitudinal and BJTS-280 for stirrups. Longitudinal reinforcement uses a diameter of 19 mm (screw) and shear reinforcement consists of 6 feet with a diameter of 10 mm (screw). Keywords: Column, Medical Study Program, Longitudinal Reinforcement, Transversal Reinforcement, Special Moment Resisting Frame System. ABSTRAK: Rencana pembukaan prodi kedokteran di Universitas Borneo Tarakan pada tahun 2023, tentunya harus diiringi dengan perencanaan komponen struktur yang matang.

En este trabajo discutimos las categorías interpretativas con las que se produjeron y continúan produciéndose narrativas sobre sitios inka, particularmente lo que se considera como “centros administrativos”. A partir de nuestros estudios en El Shincal seleccionamos cuatro contextos –un espacio de vivienda de la elite, un recinto con evidencia de prácticas rituales, un complejo con una roca tallada y un espacio de molienda- para reflexionar críticamente sobre las categorías con las cuales otorgamos sentidos apriorísticamente. Un conjunto de interrogantes surgen a partir de estas críticas y se intenta construir interpretaciones desde nuevos enfoques centrados en modelos que resaltan las construcciones nativas del mundo y sentidos de la práctica política que partan desde la diferencia ontológica.
Security scenarios: 3D Printed Firearms
Authors: Rautio Samu , Broms Mika
Published: February 2024

The aim of this study was to determine possible future scenarios if 3D printed firearms were to be manufactured in society. These scenarios provide a closer examination of the factors influencing the use of this relatively new method of firearms production. We reviewed the factors in 3D printed firearms that are relevant to various security authorities. Scenario analysis enables the examination of problem-solving for this multi-dimensional, multi-layered and multi-scale phenomenon. The topic was approached from a systemic perspective based on complexity thinking. The scenario-creation method employed five forecasting techniques applicable to the Playbook for Strategic Foresight and Innovation (Carleton, 2013). A context map created the basis for factor analysis, generational arcs, white spots and expert panel. The scenarios were developed into a structural format, allowing for the description of coherent entities. Upon analysing the scenarios, it was found that the ease of manufacturing 3D printed firearms could lead to a rapid increase in their numbers, potentially resulting in decreased internal and external security. The networking of manufacturers could also enable the production of weapons for individuals who previously did not have access to firearms. On the other hand, 3D printed firearms could open up new legal uses and possibilities. The networking of manufacturers could also enable the production of weapons for individuals who previously did not have access to firearms.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Thyroid nodules are commonly encountered in medical practice. The relation between the magnitude of thyroid surgery and its complications is not settled.

Objectives: Our aim is to examine the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and hypoparathyroidism after thyroid surgery in different thyroid procedures including local lymph nodes control.

Methods: The records of 345 patients who underwent thyroidectomy at the Jordan University Hospital from January 2010 to December 2016 were reviewed. They were divided into seven groups (total thyroidectomy, near-total thyroidectomy, hemithyroidectomy, completion thyroidectomy, redo surgery, hemithyroidectomy with completion, and near-total thyroidectomy with completion). A comparison among the groups was done. Ninety-one patients who underwent central lymph nodes biopsy were identified. They were divided into three groups (pre-tracheal lymph nodes excision, central neck dissection, and central neck sampling) and then compared.

 Results: Transient hypocalcemia was significantly higher with total thyroidectomy in comparison to near-total thyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy with or without completion. All groups were comparable regarding permanent hypocalcemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. No significant relationship between the type of dissection and complication rate was found.

Conclusion: Near-total thyroidectomy is a safe alternative to total thyroidectomy with a lower early complication rate. Redo surgery and central dissection are not associated with higher morbidity.

Esplenectomía en las anemias infantiles
Authors:   , Franchino Julio Cesar
Published: February 2024

El estudio de las hemopatías infantiles y de un modo más particular, las anemias, ponen en relieve lo complejo de ellas en cuanto a su caracterización, su etiología y su tratamiento. De una manera general se puede decir en Patología, que las afecciones no difieren, en grados fundamentales, en el niño y en el adulto. Esto se cumple en parte para las anemias. Decimos en parte, porque si bien el esquema general es el mismo, no lo es en cuanto se particularizan los cuadros. De allí que convendría reconocer que el niño tiene su ”cuadro anémico” propio, lo cual determina su estudio por separado, tal cuál lo hacen clínicos y hematólogos en general. Las anemias infantiles representan un problema mucho más solubre que las de los adultos. Y estas dificultades se presentan ya sea para caracterizarlas, como para dilucidar su etiología, o su mecanismo patogénico y también para tratarlas. Entrando en materia, la presente tesis tiene por objeto entrar en la parte de tratamiento y ya en este capítulo, en un problema no resuelto: Esplenectomía en las anemias infantiles. Tal su título. Con este objeto seguiremos el siguiente plan: a) - Estudio de las anemias en la infancia, b) - Estudio del bazo. c) - Estudio del bazo en les enemias d) - Indicaciones y valor de la esplenectomía. e) - Presentación de dos casos.

Abstract: Primary breast lymphoma is rare and it accounts for around 0.5% of malignant breast neoplasms. Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma originating from a B-cell lineage. This report presents a case of primary SLL of the breast with lung metastasis that had excellent clinical response. We reported a 67-year-old female complained a right breast mass that suddenly appeared after she got massage on her right left arm. The mass was swollen and painless with no systemic complications. The specimen was submitted to histopathology department and it revealed small diffuse lymphocytic lymphoma. Chest X-ray showed a lung metastasis. The patient was then treated with CHOP regimens (Cyclophosphamid, Doxorubicin, Vincristin, and Prednison) and the clinical result was excellent. The side effects of the medication were minimal. In conclusion, primary breast lymphocytic lymphoma is rare and this case highlights the differential diagnosis for a painless breast mass. The treatment must be individualized and multimodal, with chemotherapy being the most accepted treatment.

Osteochondroma stands out as the predominant Benign bone tumor, typically manifesting in the metaphyseal region of long bones. This tumor
manifests as bony outgrowth capped with cartilage on the bone's surface. The majority (85%) of Osteochondromas are solitary and nonhereditary.
Typically emerging in children and adolescents, these lesions often present as painless, gradually expanding masses. However, complications such
as Fractures, Bony deformities, Mechanical joint issues and Vascular or Neurological compromise can lead to signicant symptoms depending on
the location of the osteochondroma.

Published: February 2024

Bacterial infections are common in the etiology of human diseases owing to the ubiquity of bacteria. Such infections promote the development of
periodontal disease, bacterial pneumonia, typhoid, acute gastroenteritis, and diarrhoea in susceptible hosts. In certain hosts, these illnesses may be
treated with antibiotics or antimicrobial therapy. But other hosts might not be able to get rid of the bacteria, which would allow them to linger for a
long period and raise the carrier's chance of getting cancer over time. In fact, there are ways to reduce the chance of developing cancer, and this
thorough analysis elucidates the intricate connection between bacterial infections and the emergence of many cancer forms. The article also
discusses the use of antibiotics in the treatment of cancer, the risks associated with their usage, and methods for reducing antibiotic resistance.It is
well known that cancers often develop resistance to conventional therapies, leading to an increased prevalence of drug-resistant forms. This
research paper provides an overview of current knowledge regarding mechanisms that contribute to or facilitate drug resistance in anticancer
drugs.These mechanisms include drug inactivation, alterations in drug targets, drug efux, DNA damage repair, inhibition of cell death, and the
epithelial-mesenchymal transition.Finally, the association of bacteria in cancer development as well as in cancer therapy on optimal treatment
strategies for existing drug-resistant cancers, preventive measures against drug-resistant cancer formation, and potential future development of
novel microbe-based therapeutics research directions.
THE ROLE OF SERUM FERRITIN AS ACUTE INFLAMMATORY MARKER IN COMPARISON TO CRP IN PATIENTS WITH SEPSIS

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Few biomarkers have been employed for diagnosis of sepsis, despite the fact that many have been studied for use in sepsis and are
largely used as prognostic markers. None of them are sensitive or specic enough to be used frequently in clinical practise. However, even these
have limited ability to distinguish sepsis from other inammatory disorders or to predict outcome. The most commonly utilised tests are PCT and
CRP. Recently ferritin has also joined in this elite list, and the usefulness of it is least studied. Objectives:To compare the utility of serum ferritin, as
acute inammatory marker, with CRP in patient with sepsis. Methodology: This is a Cross-sectional observational study. among 96 patients
admitted with sepsis (diagnosed using Quick SOFA score), under the Department of General Medicine, Dhiraj General Hospital, Sumandeep
Vidyapeeth- Smt. BK Shah Medical Institute & Research Center, Piparia, Vadodara 391760. The clinical and biochemical parameters (especially
CRP and Ferritin) were observed and compared with the outcomes. Results: In our study, 78 (81.25%) had Recovered and 18 (18.75%) had Death.
Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida sp. had higher proportion of death. The mean levels of CRP and ferritin at 1st day and 3rd day were
signicantly higher among the subjects who died. Other biochemical parameters such as Serum electrolytes, serum creatinine, and serum
procalcitonin, SGPT, HbA1C, FBS and ESR were not signicantly related with the mortality. The area under the curve for Serum Ferritin (1st day)
in predicting Outcome is 0.78 and for Serum Ferritin (3rd day) is 0.71. The area under the curve for CRP (1st day) in predicting Outcome is 0.688,
and for CRP (3rd day) is 0.677. Conclusion: CRP and ferritin can be used as a prognostic marker in sepsis, of which serum ferritin has a greater
predictive value.

Natural pigments are great alternatives to synthetic colors. Microbial pigments are potential source of natural pigments as they are independent of
seasonal variation, geographical distribution and can also be produced at a large scale with ease. Prodigiosin is a red colored multifaceted
secondary metabolite contain a common 4-methoxy 2, 2 bipyrrole ring system with antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-neoplastic, antiproliferative,
antioxidant and antimalarial activity. This Prodigiosin is a natural pigment which is eco-friendly and sustainable as it is produced by bacterial
biomass. Prodigiosin being from biological origin often called as 'Biocolor' and proved safe and edible coloring agent. In the current research
studies, a red pigment producing bacterial sp. was isolated from soil its pigment was extracted and spectrophotometrically characterized as
Prodigiosin. The pigment producing bacterial species was identied as Serratia sp. By phenotypic, biochemical and 16s rRNA sequence analysis.
Physiological condition and nutritional parameters were optimized. The Prodigiosin producing Serratia species can be a better alternative source
of natural pigment

Introduction: The suprascapular notch and its relationship with the morphometry of scapula are clinically important as they shed light on
aetiology of the suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. In our present study, we aimed to classify the different types of suprascapular notches
and measure the anthropometric measurements of the dry scapulae. Further, we investigated the correlation, if any, between the type of
suprascapular notch and the measurements of the scapulae. Methods: We examined 100 dry scapulae. We measured two principal dimensions of
the suprascapular notches (maximal depth and superior transverse diameter) and on the basis of Natsis' classication, divided into ve types. We
also measured eight anthropometric parameters of the scapulae themselves, including morphological length and breadth as well as the lengths of
the acromion and the horizontal part of the coracoid processes. Thereafter, we looked for correlations between the different types of suprascapular
notches and the various dimensions of the scapulae themselves statistically using Pearson's coefcient. Observations and Results: We found that
Type II notches were the most common (72%), followed by Type III (17%). We did not nd any Type V scapula. A positive correlation was found
between the depth of suprascapular notches and the morphological lengths in Type II scapulae, as well as a negative correlation between the depth
of the notch with the width-length index. In Type III scapulae, we found positive correlations between the length of the scapulae to both the
morphological parameters of the suprascapular notch. Both the parameters of the suprascapular notch showed negative correlations with the widthlength index. No other signicant correlation was found between any other parameters of the scapula with the dimensions of the suprascapular
notch. Conclusion: The morphological length and breadth of the scapula may bear relations with the lengths and breadths of the suprascapular
notches, particularly if they have Type II or Type III notches. The rest of the anthropometric measurements of the scapula have little to no relation
with the suprascapular notch.
