Authors: Abdurahim Mika , Mujoko Bejo , Azzami Abdulloh , Kosasih Engkos , Mighwar Muhammad Al
Published: June 2024

This study seeks to explore the commitment of hadith scholars to the Companions and influential figures among the tabi'in during the first century of the Islamic calendar through the process of codifying and transmitting hadith. Hadith represents a primary source of Islamic teachings following the Quran, and its codification is crucial for preserving the integrity and authenticity of Islamic doctrines. During the early period of Islam, the Prophet's companions and the tabi'in played pivotal roles in disseminating and safeguarding hadith traditions. This study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-historical analysis method, drawing on primary sources such as Ashfahani's Hilyatul Auliya hadith compilation, writings of earlier scholars, and secondary sources including books, scholarly articles, and journals. The findings of the research indicate that the companions of Prophet Muhammad demonstrated significant commitment in memorizing, compiling, and transmitting hadith traditions. They employed diverse strategies to guarantee the precision and trustworthiness of the hadiths they transmitted. Similarly, the leaders among the tabi'in, as the succeeding generation, persisted in this endeavor by stressing the significance of verifying and authenticating hadiths until the compilation of collections of hadith books (tadwin/codification). They developed a more systematic methodology in the codification of hadith, which became the basis for the development of hadith science in subsequent periods. This research provides a deeper understanding of the history of hadith codification and the important role of the companions and tabi'in in this effort, as well as highlighting the importance of the methodology used to maintain the purity of hadith.

Effect of Automated Identification Barcode on Procurement performance in the service sector: A case of Kenya Airways
Authors: Murungi Roseanne
Published: June 2024

The paper presents the effects of automated identification barcode on procurement performance in the service sector with Kenya Airways as the case study. It also acknowledges the role played by procurement performance to improve efficiency and services in organizations. Particularly, the research aims at assessing the extent to which the adoption of automated identification barcode impacts overall procurement performance at Kenya Airways. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population comprised 80 staff working in the Supply Chain department at Kenya Airways. The business research employed survey data collected from questionnaires filled out by the respondents themselves. The researcher utilized descriptive statistics using SPSS version 28.0 to analyze the data. The results were presented through the use of standard deviation, mean frequencies, and percentages. Based on the findings of this study, linear regression assessment was used in evaluating the level of research relation variables. The regression analysis deduced that automated identification barcode has a considerable effect on procurement performance with (β1=0.971, p=0.000). Further, the R Square value of 0.714 indicated that 71.4% of the variation in procurement performance at Kenya Airways can be explained by variations in automated identification barcode. This implies that a change of one standard deviation in the use of automated identification barcodes results in a (0.971) standard deviation increase in the procurement performance of Kenya Airways.  The study illustrated a supportive opinion from the respondents that the use of automated identification barcoding makes the task of inventory retrieval easier and simplifies sourcing. It also underscores that the company needs to engage in automated identification barcode activities to address and enhance its supply chain and procurement outcomes. In conclusion, the study has offered a valuable contribution in the direction of enhancing the procurement performance of Kenya’s service sector. The study recommended a systematic approach in the reform of pursuit of procurement processes which is not only restricted to the automation of several procurement facets but also the capacity building of Kenya Airways’ staff and their suppliers when they deal with e-procurement tools.

Published: June 2024

Urban areas are one of the most affected systems by climate change. Blue-green infrastructure systems make significant contributions to the reduction of the vulnerability against climate change and disaster risks in urban areas and to adaptation to climate with the ecosystem services they provide. This study aims to determine the blue-green infrastructure (BGI) and its water related disaster mitigation functions in Bayraklı, İzmir. Therefore, the research question is defined as: how effective the existing BGI of Bayraklı is to handle a 100-year frequency storm. In this context, the components of BGI were defined, and their runoff values were calculated by considering a 100-year frequency storm event and by taking the ecological characteristics of these areas, such as vegetation, and surface permeability into account. The findings showed that BGI is inadequate to remove 1.269.857,30 m3 stormwater runoff from the city in the events of a 100–year of rainfall. Potential water retention capacity of BGI varies according to the characteristics of the green infrastructure components. Based on the outcomes of the study, recommendations were presented to increase climate resilience of Bayraklı district by the existing BGI.

Die „Vorstellung des Hässlichen“ (Skt. aśubhasaṃjñā) als Mittel gegen die Leidenschaft in der alttürkischen Daśakarmapathāvadānamālā
Authors: Dıetz Siglinde , Kaygusuz Arzu
Published: June 2024

Es gibt wertvolle Studien über die Stellung der Frau im Buddhismus, aber nur sehr wenige Studien über die Stellung der Frau in alttürkischen Texten. Aus diesen Studien geht hervor, dass die Stellung der Frau im Buddhismus ursprünglich nicht positiv dargestellt wurde. Der Buddha verkündete, dass der Buddhismus statt nach tausend schon nach fünfhundert Jahren zugrunde gehen würde, wenn Frauen Nonnen würden. Der Grund dafür ist, dass Frauen als Wurzel allen Übels angesehen wurden. In diesem Rahmen werden im alttürkischen Text Daśakarmapathāvadānamālā (= DKPAM), in der die zehn heilvollen und unheilvollen Handlungsweisen gelehrt werden, die Darstellung des weiblichen Leichnams und die „Vorstellung des Hässlichen“ gemeinsam behandelt. Vier Arten der "Leidenschaft" (Skt. rāga) und neun Arten der „Vorstellung des Hässlichen“ (Skt. aśubhasaṃjñā) spielen in diesem Werk eine wichtige Rolle. Das Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Reihenfolge der verschiedenen Kategorien der „neun Vorstellungen des Hässlichen“ in der DKPAM zu bestimmen und die "Leidenschaften", gegen die sie wirken, genauer zu analysieren.

The study examined the link between instructional materials and pupils’ English language learning in primary schools in Central Division, Ishaka Municipality. The study adopted cross sectional survey design. The quantitative data were collected using questionnaires. The data were presented and analysed using percentage, frequency tables, and arithmetic means. According to the findings, instructional resources included textbooks,chalkboards, computers, exercise books, and other supplies. From the study, factors affecting students' performance in school include lack of school fees, as many students are chased home to get fees and miss assignments and tests, negative attitude, inadequate learning facilities like books, lack of basic needs like shelter, food, poor time management, and lack of school facilities like libraries. Based on these findings, the study proposes that government and private sector stakeholders must contribute financially and materially to provide instructional materials and resources for junior primary school students. More so, regular workshops/seminars for primary teachers, head teachers, and principals on the growth and progress of instructional materials andresources in schools are urgently needed. Additionally, to improve learners' utilisation of instructional materials and resources, school leaders, directors, and ministry officials should supervise schools regularly. Finally, through government and professional seminars, workshops, and conferences, teachers should upgrade their instructional material improvisation abilities.

Authors: López-Roldán Aarón , Marín Muñiz José Luis , Losada-Rodríguez Nelson Andrés , Ramos-Pérez Yennis , Zamora Castro Sergio
Published: June 2024

El tratamiento de agua residual es muy escaso en algunas zonas de Veracruz, por lo que se considera una problemática actual importante derivado de la contaminación ambiental, sumado a que no hay suficiente disponibilidad de agua en condiciones para su consumo. Un caso particular es en las áreas rurales, por lo que el objetivo de esta investigación es indagar sobre las condiciones en las que se encuentran los habitantes de la zona rural Palmas de Abajo del municipio de Actopan del Estado de Veracruz, México en cuanto a cuestiones hídricas y sistema de tratamiento para limpiar las aguas residuales. El análisis realizado indica que los pobladores no sufren de sequía en ninguna temporada del año, ya que, gracias a sus pozos no hay problema de desabasto para la comunidad. Por otro lado, se detectó que en la zona rural Palmas de Abajo no cuentan con sistemas para tratar sus aguas residuales y desconocen totalmente sobre alternativas para solucionarlo. La principal preocupación por sanear las aguas está ligada a la mejora del pueblo, lo estético y los malos olores, ya que las descargas se vertían en la entrada de la comunidad, más que a los daños ecológicos que éstas generan hacia el área de escurrimiento: una laguna turística y de pesca. Por ello,  se considera idóneo la gestión sumada entre la comunidad, autoridades y academia de un humedal construido como sistema sustentable para tratar aguas residuales, sumado a estrategias de educación ambiental que integren el manejo del recurso hídrico y el uso de humedales de tratamiento para limpieza y reuso del agua, como alternativa que favorezca el desarrollo rural.
desarrollo desigual capitalista ante la crisis socioambiental latinoamericana
Authors: Islas Ruiz Alan Suah
Published: June 2024

En el ensayo se plantean algunas de las implicaciones del desarrollo desigual capitalista en la crisis socioambiental contemporánea, en específico de los territorios latinoamericanos al margen del proyecto de la modernidad. Si bien el patrón de acumulación originaria capitalista era ya un problema por el saqueo y despojo colonial, con el desarrollo del capitalismo moderno en la región después de la época neoliberal, se agudizaron los problemas relacionados con la desigualdad en el acceso, uso y distribución de los recursos naturales, y los efectos negativos por la operación de la maquinaria capitalista industrial de la transformación de la naturaleza, estableciendo una lógica profunda y permanente entre los problemas social y ambiental. De este modo, resulta pertinente ver a lo socioambiental como una dimensión indisoluble en el análisis del desarrollo en América Latina.
Estudio de opinión sobre el uso de empaques biodegradables en la zona metropolitana de Xalapa, Veracruz, México
Authors: Sierra-Carmona Celia Gabriela , Hernández-Orduña María Graciela , Murrieta-Galindo Rene
Published: June 2024

El aumento en el uso de envases de diversos materiales ha generado problemas ambientales a nivel global. Para mitigar este impacto, se han desarrollado envases biodegradables durante más de cuarenta años. Sin embargo, existe un escaso conocimiento acerca de la opinión de la sociedad, lo que podría dificultar la aplicación de soluciones efectivas para abordar esta problemática. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la opinión de la sociedad sobre el uso de estos empaques en la Zona Metropolitana de Xalapa, Veracruz, México (ZMX). Se aplicaron encuestas con preguntas cerradas a 2,221 individuos mayores de 15 años en 9 municipios de la ZMX. Se encontró que el 88 % de los encuestados eran conscientes del impacto ambiental de los residuos plásticos, aunque el 39 % desconocía los envases biodegradables disponibles en el mercado. Sin embargo, una parte significativa de los encuestados mostró una actitud positiva hacia la adopción de estos envases si están fácilmente disponibles en el mercado. Se sugiere implementar políticas públicas y programas de educación ambiental para promover la correcta separación de residuos y dar a conocer las opciones de envases biodegradables en la ZMX.

Authors: Bustamante López Carlos , González Cruz Eric Geovanny , Pérez Muñoz Sergio Alejandro
Published: June 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar históricamente el desarrollo de las relaciones entre la sociedad humana y los principales afluentes de la Cuenca del Alto Atoyac, los ríos Atoyac y Zahuapan, en el contexto territorial del valle poblano-tlaxcalteca. La articulación entre la sociedad y la naturaleza de esta cuenca requiere de ser observada en las diversas fases que han dado lugar a su forma social y económica actual, puesto que la diversidad de usos humanos de los recursos naturales implica una relación codeterminativa que, en esta región, ha sido socavada con el tiempo. Así, este documento estudia de forma documental las estructuras sociales que han existido desde épocas prehispánicas en este entorno, fundamentalmente las que se vinculan directamente con el estudio de los recursos hídricos. Se enfatiza en el desarrollo industrial que se ha instalado de forma reciente en torno a la cuenca, particularmente, el relacionado con un alto número de empresas con más de 250 empleados. Las conclusiones del trabajo destacan el ensamblaje de materialidades sociales, desplegadas desde la época colonial hasta la actualidad sobre los afluentes de la cuenca del Alto Atoyac, que han dado lugar a su progresiva degradación.
Las problemáticas sobre el cambio de uso del suelo en el municipio de Bahía de Banderas Nayarit.
Authors: Rodríguez Rodríguez Jesús , Rodríguez Bautista Juan Jorge
Published: June 2024

El cambio de uso del suelo es provocado por acciones antropogénicas afectando al medio natural, pero también impacta a la población en su seguridad alimentaria, provocando procesos migratorios y acciones negativas a determinadas actividades económicas locales; por ello es relevante lo que sucede con la pérdida de bosques, ejemplo del problema existente sobre el cambio uso del suelo. Se estima que entre el 2000 y el 2015 se perdieron cerca de 1.5 millones de km2 de bosque a nivel mundial, sustituyendo esas áreas para producir granos, carnes o fibras vegetales, así como en la producción de energía y en la minería. En México, la selva sufrió la mayor transformación seguido por los bosques, para convertirlo en uso agrícola y ganadero. En Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit, existe una zona con playas con alto valor turístico, pero además con unas montañas con exuberante vegetación, donde se ubica la sierra de Vallejo.
Más allá de lo vivo. Consideraciones para una Bioética biocéntrica
Authors: Hernández Carbajal Irving Jesús
Published: June 2024

En el presente artículo se revisará la relación que hay entre la Bioética y el biocentrismo, sobre todo desde la propuesta de Paul Taylor, para la construcción de una disciplina que no caiga en el antropocentrismo moral y que pueda considerar la importancia de elementos que, aunque no participan de lo vivo, como los factores abióticos, deben dejar de ser asumidos solamente como recursos o medios para lo humano. Reconocerlos y tratarlos como entidades independientes, con valor inherente, que forman parte de la comunidad de la Tierra y que por tanto necesitan empezar a ser considerados ética, moral y jurídicamente.

Los llamados Asentamientos Humanos Irregulares (AHI), constituyen una de las dinámicas y procesos predominantes en la producción urbana de las ciudades. Empero, la figura del ejido y la participación de diversos actores sociales en las negociaciones sobre el destino del uso, definen territorios donde se yuxtapone la informalidad y la formalidad.  Por tal, el objetivo del texto es describir y analizar procesos de territorialización y negociación que facilitaron la consolidación de al menos cuatro AHI que explican cierta influencia en la lógica urbana de la ciudad de Pachuca, actual nodo urbano dominante del estado de Hidalgo.
La metodología empleada, es entre otras, trabajo de campo que permitió aplicar el método etnográfico, máxime en las localidades de El Arbolito, San Antonio el Desmonte, San Pedro Nopancalco y la Colonia Popular 20 de Noviembre. Este enfoque permitió sumergirse en las memorias históricas de los habitantes, con accesos a los procesos que llevaron al origen de los referidos AHI, donde se vislumbran las intricadas relaciones sociales entre diversos actores e instituciones involucradas en las negociaciones para la transición hacia la regularización de sus predios.

Published: June 2024

The plant Byrsocarpus coccineus Schum and Thonn is used traditionally for treating bacterial and fungal illnesses. This study investigated the ethnobotanical use of B. coccineus, pharmacognostic standard procedures and the antimicrobial properties of the leaf. A semi-structured questionnaire was employed, following the Logit model. Microscopy, macroscopy, physical constants, phytochemical screening, thin layer chromatography and antimicrobial activities (using the agar diffusion and micro broth dilution assays on Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Multi resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Candida albicans and Tricophytum rubrum) were evaluated. The results showed that the ethnobotanical uses include treatment of typhoid, men impotency, gonorrhoea, dysentery, cancer and urinary problems (highest with 30%). Microscopy showed the presence of jigsaw-shaped epidermal cells with numerous anomocytic stomata. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids and terpenoids, but steroids were absent. Eight (8) spots were observed for the n-hexane and methanol extract development on TLC in a solvent mixture of n-hexane: ethyl acetate (4:1). All microorganisms were susceptible to n-hexane extract at all serial dilutions (12.5 -50 mg/mL), highest susceptibility to B. subtilis at the 16 mm inhibition zone with gentamicin (positive control) at 16 mm inhibition zone as well. Also found was the lowest minimum inhibitory activity (MIC) on P. aeruginosa (0.1953 mg/mL) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 12.5 mg/mL, 6.25 mg/ml and 12.5 mg/mL against S. aureus, B. subtilis and E. coli, respectively, with gentamicin (positive control) having 5 µg/mL, 5 µg/mL and 10 µg/mL, in that order. The aqueous extract showed the highest susceptibility on S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa, the lowest MIC against B. subtilis (0.78125 mg/mL) and MBC against T. rubrum (12.5 mg/mL). The plant extract showed good antibacterial and antifungal activity and thus can be explored as a new antimicrobial agent or source for new drug discovery.

The healthcare performance measurement system is a critical indicator for assessing hospital management performance. This study aims to identify the most frequent critical performance indicators (CSFs) in measuring and evaluating healthcare performance. This paper conducts a systematic review based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA). A literature review that includes "key performance indicators for health facility management (FM) or analyzing the most used key performance indicators," and an in-depth view were used to classify relevant KPIs for healthcare FM performance measurement. The findings show that patient satisfaction, cash flow, infection rate, length of stay, average waiting time, number of accidents per year, incidents and errors, and bed occupancy are the most significant CSFs for health facility management (HFM). The results of this paper provide valuable insights to inform future KPI development for the Yemeni healthcare environment. In future work, the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) will be employed to prioritize the performance indicators of the Yemeni healthcare environment.

For the purpose of etablishing a database on benthic foraminifera in Yemen, two hundred and twelve recent benthic foraminifera species have been recorded from 32 sandy samples collected from different localities in Socotra Island during January 2017 and Hadhramout coastline, Yemen during August 2018 from a depth of 0 - 4 m, to identify benthic foraminiferal taxa to the species level. These samples were processed to extract the foraminiferal tests using a water saline brine based on the difference between the density of the shells and the solution. The extracted benthic foraminifera were separated according to the type of wall into three groups; the Agglutinated, Porcellaneous and hyaline walled foraminifera. Porcellaneous tests represent the largest number in the collected samples of the two study areas. One hundred and four species were identified. These species belonging to twenty-eight genera, four superfamilies and eight families. Twenty-nine species of these belong to the genus Quinqueloculina d’Orbigny which are discussed here and illustrated. The systematic classification of the species recorded from these samples was mentioned and compared with the type species. The previous recordings of these species, their geographical distribution regionally and globally, and their abundance in the study samples were tracked. The samples were deposited at the Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Petroleum and Natural Resources, Sana’a University.
