The buddha’s paṭiccasamuppāda: Addressing contemporary environmental development challenges through eschatological perspectives
Authors: Johannes Hendro Putra
Published: January 2025

Background: Religion is often considered as a cause of environmental problems. In response to this pessimism, Buddhism through the philosophy of Dharma comes up as revolutionary perspective in shaping contemporary environmental development paradigm, a counter for modern Cartesian-Newtonian paradigm. This philosophy is embodied in the concept of paṭiccasamuppāda applied as “scalpel” on existing environmental problems. Mehods: This study employs a qualitative approach using library research, analyzing philosophical, religious, and environmental texts. Through content analysis of Buddhist teachings, particularly paṭiccasamuppāda, the study explores its role as an alternative paradigm for addressing environmental challenges. Findings: The findings reveal that paṭiccasamuppāda, or the law of dependent origination, provides a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness between humans and nature. Unlike the Cartesian-Newtonian paradigm, which separates the observer from the observed, paṭiccasamuppāda emphasizes relational existence and balance, fostering ecological ethics based on interdependence. This perspective reduces environmental exploitation and encourages sustainable practices. Conclusion: The study concludes that paṭiccasamuppāda serves as a transformative framework for addressing contemporary environmental issues. By shifting from a dualistic worldview to an interconnected one, it promotes a sustainable development model. Integrating Buddhist ecological ethics into environmental policies and education can contribute to a more sustainable future. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study presents paṭiccasamuppāda as a fundamental principle for reinterpreting environmental sustainability. Unlike previous research that broadly discusses Buddhist ethics, this study specifically highlights paṭiccasamuppāda as a precise analytical tool for addressing environmental issues. By bridging Buddhist philosophy and contemporary ecological challenges, this study offers a novel perspective on sustainability rooted in spiritual wisdom.

Novelty of This Study: OVOL serves as comprehensive solution in addressing employment disparities in Indonesia villages, integrating cultural and technological aspect with Cultural Technology District (CTD) Model as the best-practice through community based approach.
Advances in Floating Drug Delivery Systems: A Promising Approach for Gastroretentive Therapy
Authors: Ansari Md. Muddasir , Modak Sudipta
Published: January 2025

Dosage forms of gastric emptying is extremely variable process and having ability to prolonged and control emptying time of dosage forms, which retain in the stomach for a longer time of period than the conventional dosage forms. Some challenges arise when formulating controlled release systems to improve absorption and bioavailability. One challenge involves the difficulty in restricting the dosage form to intended region of the GIT. The process of drug absorption from the GIT is intricate and influenced by numerous variables. It is commonly recognized that the degree of drug absorption in the GIT correlates with the duration of contact with the mucosa of the small intestine. Therefore, the transit time through the small intestine is a critical parameter for drugs that experience incomplete absorption. A concise overview is provided of fundamental human physiology, encompassing details about gastric emptying, motility patterns, and the physiological and formulation variables that influence the overall gastric emptying process. Gastroprotective systems have the capacity to stay within the stomach for extended periods, thereby effectively prolonging the residence time of drugs in the gastric region. This prolonged gastric retention enhances bioavailability, diminishes drug wastage, and improves the solubility of drugs that exhibit low solubility in high pH environments. It is applications for local drug delivery to the stomach, proximal small intestines. Gastro retention contributes to ensuring improved accessibility for novel products with innovative therapeutic potentials, offering significant advantages for patients.

Furthermore, integrating Madurese parenting culture into early childhood education practices can create an environment that optimally supports children's social development. This culture helps children understand the importance of positive social relationships while nurturing a sense of responsibility, empathy, and collaboration. Research Implications – This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of ethnoparenting by demonstrating its practical application in early childhood education. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and educators on integrating local cultural values into curricula, thereby creating more inclusive and effective educational models.

Teori konsolidasi satu dimensi (1D) Terzaghi sering digunakan dalam perhitungan konsolidasi tanah, khususnya dalam menentukan penurunan tanah terhadap waktu. Teori ini menggunakan asumsi koefisien konsolidasi yang konstan. Namun, untuk tanah lempung dengan permeabilitas tinggi, seperti tanah reklamasi, pendekatan ini tidak sepenuhnya akurat. Hal ini disebabkan oleh perubahan dalam permeabilitas dan kompresibilitas tanah seiring waktu, yang tidak diperhitungkan dalam teori Terzaghi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan nilai koefisien konsolidasi yang lebih akurat dengan memperhitungkan perubahan parameter tanah yang terjadi. Nilai koefisien diperoleh melalui pengujian laboratorium yang selanjutnya divalidasi dengan pendekatan numerik. Validasi dilakukan dengan mempertimbangkan tekanan air pori berlebih, angka permeabilitas, serta koefisien perubahan volume menggunakan metode analitik dan optimasi melalui teknik Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) dengan metode back step calculation. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan pendekatan MATLAB dalam perhitungan koefisien konsolidasi memberikan hasil yang lebih akurat dibandingkan dengan metode tradisional seperti Casa Grande dan Taylor, terutama pada percobaan pertama dan kedua. Ketika hasil ini dibandingkan dengan data dari pengujian laboratorium, pendekatan ini terbukti memberikan prediksi penurunan yang lebih akurat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode yang dilakukan mampu memberikan perhitungan konsolidasi yang lebih baik dan lebih cepat, khususnya untuk tanah dengan permeabilitas tinggi dan kondisi yang bervariasi, seperti tanah reklamasi.
