Authors: Habowski Adilson Cristiano , Conte Elaine
Published: September 2022

O estudo tem por objetivo discutir acerca do potencial da mídia social Facebook como canal de aproximação sensível para gerar redes de interação na Educação Infantil e processos de interlocução em rede entre a escola e a família. Parte-se de uma perspectiva inclusiva das tecnologias digitais, que favorecem a participação ativa e aproximações socioeducacionais nos processos e práticas pedagógicas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem hermenêutica, voltada para a compreensão e a interpretação de textos e discursos vigentes sobre ressonâncias da cultura digital no universo da comunicabilidade escolar. Concluímos que o reconhecimento da pluralidade pedagógica em ambiências do Facebook pode promover aproximações estético-expressivas e diálogos de reconhecimento de projetos criativos à valorização das ações pedagógicas desenvolvidas. Na verdade, precisamos ir além de uma educação controladora de aprendizagens, assistencialista ou capacitista em relação ao contato tecnológico com o mundo, trazendo implicações na educação, em termos de desigualdades e falsos empoderamentos tecnológicos das crianças, para despertar um olhar formador às novas leituras de mundos digitais e de experiências investigativas desde a Educação Infantil.

Authors: Kausar Shumaila , Butt Muhammad Zeshan , Kousar Naseem , Farooq Muhammad Adeel
Published: September 2022

In the patriarchal society of Pakistan, women are viewed as inferior to men. This gender prejudice is also evident in the agriculture industry. This study intends to investigate men's perceptions of women's role in agriculture-related activities. Utilizing a qualitative study design, the researcher conducted six focus group discussions and eight in-depth interviews with the men in Multan district, Punjab, thematic analysis was performed on the data in order to deeply comprehend the phenomenon.  The bulk of the male population partially recognises women's contributions in the agriculture sector, the study revealed. Most of the population believed that poverty is the primary reason why women work in agriculture. In men’s views, women are weaker than men and, as a result, unable to conduct agriculture-related activities, particularly the activities requiring extra force. Their attitude was strongly patriarchal in that they viewed women as unpaid or low-paid workers. The vast majority of the population recognises that their contribution is of crucial importance to food security. It can be concluded that the majority of male members view women as lesser and weaker workers than males. Men's sexist attitudes toward women demonstrate the urgent need to confront patriarchal society, which not only hinders women's development in the agriculture industry but also affects their productivity and food security.

Authors: Prayuda Yohanes Yoga , Risang R.M. Widihasmoro
Published: September 2022

Editing secara harafiah adalah usaha penyambungan akhir dari sebuah shot dengan awal dari shot  berikutnya, dan begitu seterusnya. Pembahasan lebih lanjut dari sekedar menyambung gambar, ternyata selalu menjadi pembahasan yang menarik. Film Penyalin Cahaya yang telah berhasil mendapatkan banyak penghargaan menjadi film yang menarik untuk diulas dari sisi teori editing. Dalam sebuah buku berjudul Cutting Rhythm pembahasan tentang ritme penyambungan dihitung dalam tempo beat per minute (bpm), dimana dianggap normal jika merujuk pada detak jantung manusia normal yaitu 60 - 80bpm. Di atas itu, sensasi ritme cepat dapat dirasakan, dan di bawahnya, sensasi ritme lambatlah yang dirasakan. Salah satu cara editor memanipulasi sensasi tersebut adalah memanfaatkan rate of cutting.
Special Effect Di Awal Sinema Indonesia: Studi Kasus Tie Pat Kai Kawin (1935) dan Tengkorak Hidoup (1941)
Authors: Nugroho Agustinus Dwi
Published: September 2022

Efek khusus telah digunakan dalam produksi film sebelum kemerdekaan Indonesia, tepatnya pada masa Hindia Belanda tahun 1935, di film Tie Pat Kai Kawin (1935) dan Tengkorak Hidoep (1941). Keduanya adalah film klasik Indonesia yang masih menggunakan warna hitam putih. Kedua film tersebut disutradarai oleh The Teng Chun (Tie Pat Kai Kawin) dan Tan Tjoei Hock (Tengkorak Hidoep). Pada masa itu para sineasnya memang banyak melakukan adaptasi, khususnya adaptasi cerita-cerita tentang siluman seperti yang terlihat pada film Tie Pat Kai Kawin. Hal inilah yang menjadi motivasi penggunaan efek khusus pada film tersebut. Sementara dalam film Tengkorak Hidoep, efek khusus dipakai untuk visualisasi teknik horornya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pengamatan pada efek khusus yang ditampilkan dalam adegan pada kedua film tersebut. Pengamatan akan lebih fokus pada adegan-adegan yang menggunakan teknik-teknik manual untuk menghasilkan efek khusus seperti goresan pada seluloid, stop motion, transisi editing, dan properti asli. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa teknologi film pada masa itu mampu memvisualisasikan eksplorasi sinematik dalam mengemas cerita di masa sejarah awal film Indonesia.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami relasi adegan bencana yang menggunakan CGI dalam teknik montase pada film Bangkit! (2016) dari sudut pandang subjektif. Untuk mendukung penelitian, metode penelitian yang digunakan melalui pendekatan deskriptif dengan teknik analisis framing model Pan dan Kosicki. Pengumpulan data dengan document research yang bersumber dari file film Bangkit! (2016) serta sumber literatur yang berisi teori-teori utama untuk mengkaji film. Film Bangkit! (2016) mampu menyajikan representasi adegan bencana yang besar di kota Jakarta melalui penggunaan CGI yang canggih dan didukung dengan cerita yang dramatis. Tetapi di beberapa adegan penting, penggunaan CGI terlihat belum maksimal serta perspektif realis cerita tidak sesuai dengan realita yang ada. Hal ini disebabkan penggarapan film Bangkit! (2016) yang belum maksimal, karena film dengan genre bencana membutuhkan perencanaan hingga terperinci dan dibutuhkan skala yang besar dan luas, ditambah lagi film Bangkit! (2016) merupakan film dengan genre action-disaster pertama yang dibuat oleh sineas Indonesia. Namun, pencapaian film Bangkit! (2016) mampu menyajikan media informasi penyampai pesan dan hiburan untuk para penonton film di Indonesia.

Authors: Kumar R Santhosh , Mohan Asik , K M Roopavathi
Published: September 2022

Background and aim: Various biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid, saliva, and serum have been evaluated in patients with periodontitis. A Leptin concentration in serum of patients with chronic periodontitis has not been evaluated, for changes in relation to the effectiveness of periodontal therapy. So the aim of this in-vivo interventional study is to evaluate the effects of nonsurgical periodontal therapy in serum leptin levels in periodontitis patients.
Materials and methods: 24 patients participated in the study. Clinical parameters like plaque index, gingival index, modified sulcular bleeding index, probing depth and clinical attachment levels were recorded. Serum leptin level was estimated pre and 1 month post periodontal therapy. Statistical analysis was done using student t-test.
Results: All the samples from 24 patients showed positive leptin levels during assay procedure. The difference in levels of serum between healthy subjects and chronic periodontitis patients was statistically insignificant. Clinical parameters evaluation showed a significant improvement in the periodontal status after non-surgical periodontal therapy in chronic periodontitis patients.
Conclusion: It was found that serum leptin level can be used as a biomarker in evaluating the effectiveness of periodontal therapy in chronic periodontitis patients. Serum leptin levels were not severely altered in chronic periodontitis patients when compared to healthy subjects and were unable to determine the effectiveness of periodontal treatment in chronic periodontitis patients. More interventional studies with higher sample size are required to ascertain the role of serum leptin in evaluating the periodontal health status.

TINJAUAN FIQIH JINAYAT TERHADAP PELAKU ZINA MENURUT KITAB UNDANG-UNDANG SIMBUR CAHAYA
Authors: Setiawan Muhamad
Published: September 2022

Abstrak: Simbur Cahaya sebagai adat Kesultanan Palembang Darussalam yang pernah menjadi hukum positif di zaman Kerajaan dan Kesultanan Palembang Darussalam serta menjadi hukum adat di masa penjajahan kolonial Belanda, pada bab pertamanya yaitu adat bujang gadis dan kawin banyak sekali mengatur tentang berbagai macam tindak pidana zina beserta sanksi-sanksinya. Adapun permasalahan yang diangkat dalam fokus penelitian ini yaitu : (1). Bagaimana Sanksi Pelaku Zina Oleh Pasirah (Sebagai Implementasi Kitab Undang-Undang Simbur Cahaya) ? (2). Bagaimana Tinjauan Fiqih Jinayat Terhadap Pelaku Zina Menurut Kitab Undang-Undang Simbur Cahaya ?. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dan pembahasan maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa secara hukum materiil sanksi adat pada tindak pidana zina dalam Simbur Cahaya yaitu berupa sanksi denda dengan jumlah tertentu di samping juga adanya sanksi di kawinkan dan sanksi mbasuh dusun, untuk zina muhsan diterapkan sanksi denda dan sanksi mbasuh dusun sedangkan untuk zina gair muhsan diterapkan sanksi denda dan sanksi dikawinkan. Sedangkan penerapan secara hukum formil nampaknya lebih mendekati kepada bentuk peradilan yang berlaku saat ini, hanya saja terdapat beberapa perbedaan dalam proses peradilan adat tersebut. Setelah di telaah dengan Fiqih Jinayat secara hukum materiil sanksi jarimah zina di Simbur Cahaya yaitu sanksi denda, sanksi dikawinkan, dan sanksi mbasuh dusun tersebut belum sesuai dengan Fiqih Jinayat secara tekstual, yang mana sanksi jarimah zina tergolong dalam jarimah hudud yaitu berupa hukuman cambuk dan diasingkan untuk zina gair muhson dan hukuman rajam untuk zina muhson, namun dalam perspektif maqashid al-syari’ah hukuman denda, dikawinkan, dan mbasuh dusun pada jarimah zina dalam Simbur Cahaya secara kontekstual tidak bertentangan dengan Fiqih Jinayat serta tergolong dalam jarimah ta’zir yaitu jenis ta’zir garamah (ta’zir denda).

Authors: Waton Muhammad Nasrul
Published: September 2022

Abstract: The number of mother figures in the family who enter the world of work outside the home and leave their families turns out to have quite significant consequences, especially related to child care. In the culture of our society in the past, the task of parenting was dominated by the mother. In the current era of industry 4.0, many mothers have started to work and even become a pillar of socio-economic life which is no less important than their husbands, the task of childcare begins to shift. Changes in the mother's role have an impact on substitute care for other family members. A child is a representative of both parents, he is a living being that will continue to grow and develop every time. Cognitive development of elementary school age children cannot be equated with adolescents or adults, the cognitive development of elementary school age children is very limited for concrete (real) matters. Based on the background and problem identification, the research problem is formulated as follows: How much influence does grand parenting have on cognitive development in students whose mothers are factory employees at SD Negeri 193 Gresik? There is no significant effect between grand parenting and cognitive development of students in grade IV from 2 classes at SD Negeri 193 Gresik. This is evidenced by the results of the product moment correlation analysis of 0.089 compared to the t-table level of significance 5% N=40 of 2.042. So the t-count is smaller than the t-table, it can be interpreted that the null hypothesis (Ho) that is there is no effect of grand parenting on the cognitive development of students in grade IV of 2 classes at SD Negeri 193 Gresik is accepted. And the hypothesis (Ha) that there is an effect of grand parenting on students' cognitive development in grade IV students from 2 classes at SD Negeri 193 Gresik is rejected. Based on the description above, it can be concluded that grandmother's care does not have a significant effect on students' cognitive development.

Neoliberalism, as a recent capitalism, advances the wellbeing of dominant groups, it corporates elites and the developed economies, particularly of the West, and it has negative implications for the downtrodden classes and third-world countries. Drawing upon the critique of neoliberalism by the recent left-wing writers, this study explores the novel Home Boy’s critique of resistance to the economic issues of neoliberalism. The study makes use of qualitative research, interpretivist paradigm and descriptive-analytical method to explore the novel’s resistance to and critique of neoliberalism. The findings show that Boy portrays precarious condition of the downtrodden and working classes, absence of social protection, job insecurity, global disparity and spatial differentiation under the dominant ideology of neoliberalism. The novel reveals that neoliberal practices grind down the downtrodden, migrant workers and peripheral societies at global level; consequently, neoliberalism engenders resistance and hostility among them. The study is useful in exploring the critique of neoliberalism in literary works, including Anglophone Pakistani writings. Keywords: Neoliberalism, Resistance, corporate interests, privatization, insecurity, lack of social protection, downsizing, inequality and spatial differentiation.

Public transport has become a challenge to supply on one side and to afford it on the other side. There are several issues in practical life, which can be associated with the demand for rail transport service, required for sustaining a normal life. This study is based on estimating the determinants of rail transport demand and calculating income and price elasticities for different classes of train services in the short run. The study found that the substitution is dominant and that the own-price effect and income effect are dominant in all the effects. There is a positive relationship between income increase and demand for rail service for air-condition class passengers. The study found that substitute elasticities are positive for rail services, which indicates that rail tracks and buses are substitutes for each other. It entails that rail fares income and road density are constraining variables such that the change in these would consequently bring a change in rail passengers in each class, and fuel price is also significantly reallocating the passenger across each class while the opposite does not hold. The increase in road accidents increases the demand for rail services in Pakistan. Keywords: Demand elasticities, Rail services, Short run, ARDL, and Road Accidents

The Islamic concept of birth and death is very clear and make the foundation of Islamic society along with the Quran also provides concept about infertility. It is permitted to seek medication for infertility. Islamic law permits the use of all assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) as long as the sperm, egg, and uterus are derived from a legally married couple during their marriage. The current study aims at reviewing the concept of infertility and Modern Reproductive Technologies as a treatment in Muslim society. The concept of children bearing a trial for believers is further expanded with the concept of infertility in Quran. Infertility is regarded as a test for believers. We have examples of Prophets such as Ibrahim and Zachariya (A.S) who bore children in old age. We also have examples of many companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and even among Ummahat-ul-Momineen who faced fertility issues. 20th century was the century of great scientific advancements. Now it is possible to treat infertility in many ways. Assisted reproductive technology is a group of infertility treatments. All modern reproductive technologies are acceptable in Islamic law, as long as the sperm, ovum, and uterus come from a legally and currently married couple. Surrogacy in any form is forbidden. Donation of sperm, ovum and uterus from a third party is not allowed. Islamic law makers have provided ways for the cure of infertility keeping in lawful bounds of Islamic jurisprudence. Many Muslim countries including Pakistan lack the advanced IVF technologies. Where available these facilities are very expensive. Moreover, there is a great misconception about the legality and religious stance on various ART techniques. For this purpose, religious beliefs, knowledge and attitudes of Pakistani population regarding Modern Reproductive Technologies and infertility should be assessed. Islamic religious scholars need to play their part in this regard through their expertise, assessment of religious beliefs, knowledge and attitude would be a first step towards process of law making or ruling out fatwa regarding Modern Reproductive Technologies. Keywords: Islamic Law, infertility, Modern Reproductive Technologies, Pakistan, Scientific advancements.

Pakistan is a federation having a center and four units (provinces). One of its four units is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). Having a heterogeneous and pluralistic society, Pakistan has developed a multi- political party system. Therefore, different political parties contest general elections at provincial and national level with their own manifestoes. Since inception, right-wing politics has been dominated in the political structure of Pakistan. With the passage of time, some of the left-wing political parties have also strengthened their footsteps in the country. Currently, one of the major left-wing political parties is Awami National Party (ANP) with socialist ideology. It originated in KP and its socialist ideology has been floated in some parts of Balochistan as well as some other parts of the country in chunks. The basic aim of ANP is to raise the voice for lower strata of the society. From 1986 till 2018, it contested different general elections and secured multiple seats at provincial and national level. Though, in the general elections of 2008, it got a high number of seats by winning 48 seats out of total 124 seats in provincial assembly of KP. However, lacking simple majority, it was unable to form a government in KP independently. Resultantly, it formed coalition government with the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarian (PPPP) in KP. During the period of its five year of government (2008-2013), it had made various legislations for the well-being of the people of KP. However, it faced different obstacles in the way of its progress due to its socialist and secular ideology. This research explores that to what extent ANP was successful in implementing its policies and what were the hurdles that hindered its way in implementing its policies during its ruling tenure in KP? Keywords: Government, Rightists, Leftists, Party Politics, General Elections, Manifesto.

Background: Psychological conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression are emerging challenges in healthcare systems. These disorders are recognized as very common problems among the nursing staff. During the COVID-19 period, nursing staff has been exposed to the highest risk of psychological disorders. The study aimed to examine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress amongst Iranian nurses throughout the pandemic and to explore the possible factors related to each mental condition. Methods: A cross-sectional and web survey done from September 15 to December 15, 2020 amongst 1135 Iranian nurses. Stress, anxiety, and depression were measured using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 Items (DASS-21) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A logistic regression analysis was performed to recognize the predictors. Results: The prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression was 75.6%, 79.2%, and 59.1%, respectively, among nurses. The outcomes of the multivariable logistic regression indicated that potential factors contributing to stress included female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.52), younger age (OR = 0.48), and work overload (OR = 1.73). Female gender (OR = 1.56), younger age (OR=0.27), and lower levels of education (OR = 0.50) were associated with high levels of anxiety. Also, lower education (OR=0.56), longer working hours (OR = 1.81), and working in intensive care units (OR = 1.67) significantly predicted a higher risk of depression symptoms in nurses. Conclusion: The present results showed that stress, anxiety, and depression were common amongst nurses working in public hospitals throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Preventive measures, like psychological interventions, are suggested to decrease the risk of stress, anxiety, and depression among nurses; the identification of risk factors may also allow for more targeted interventions. There is an imperative need for diverse implementation strategies at all levels to decrease the psychological effect of the pandemic such as social support and psychological support in the workplace
