AGREGADOS/MEEIROS EM GOIÁS: A CONFIGURAÇÃO DA CLASSE SOCIAL MENOS FAVORECIDA ATÉ MEADOS DO SÉCULO XX
Authors: De Oliveira Junior Odilon Mendonça
Published: August 2023

Durante a primeira metade do século XX, devido ao isolamento de Goiás, em função da quase ausência de estradas e da quase ausência de aparato tecnológico, o processo de produção agrícola estava, quase em sua totalidade, reduzido a sua forma primária ou primitiva de trabalho braçal. Isto significava uma produção artesanal em formato secular de tecidos e roupas, sapatos e botas, materiais necessários à construção de casas e a produção de alimentos, geralmente providenciados pelos próprios indivíduos que haveriam de consumir tais produtos para sua subsistência e subsistência da família. Não raro, parte da população lograva, mediante pagamento por mão-de-obra que conseguissem adquirir uma pequena propriedade rural, uma pequena parcela de terra, talvez 6 ou 8 hectares, que deveriam cultivar e manter às suas próprias custas. Esta classe de trabalhadores se instalava nas novas áreas de sua propriedade devendo delas tirar, mediante produção primária, vendendo apenas os excedentes em pequenas quantidades para aquisição de ferramentas, tecidos e outras poucas mercadorias de utilidade básica, utilizando escambo da produção agrícola com produtores vizinhos, geralmente pessoas nas mesmas condições sociais e de sobrevivência. Quem não possuía meios de aquisição da terra, em geral grande parcelada população, poderiam se tornar agregados de algum grande proprietário de terras. Os agregados poderiam se mudar para uma região dentro da propriedade, construir sua própria residência no local indicado e designado pelo proprietário e iniciar o seu trabalho, gozando, portanto, da proteção do proprietário de terras que tinha pessoal armado para garantir o exercício de seu poder em seu território. Instalados no local, deve-se iniciar a colonização do terreno afim de extrair do mesmo alguma produção agrícola para subsistência e para pagamento do arrendamento, fazendo demonstrar ao proprietário da terra a utilidade produtiva daquele agregado.

CONSERVADORISMO MODERNO ENQUANTO RESPOSTA AO DESEJO REVOLUCIONÁRIO DE DESTRUIÇÃO DAS INSTITUIÇÕES
Authors: Oliveira Raoni Marques
Published: August 2023

Este artigo propõe-se a estudar o pensamento conservador moderno, a fim de verificar se a sua crítica ao desejo revolucionário de destruição das instituições é coerente em um contexto pós-revolucionário. Parte-se da análise do pensamento de Edmund Burke, precursor do conservadorismo moderno, em especial sua crítica à necessidade de destruição institucional que marca o pensamento revolucionário. Em seguida, passa-se a examinar outros autores antirrevolucionários, posteriores a Burke, no que diz respeito a essa questão específica, dividindo tais autores em reacionários e conservadores propriamente ditos. O reacionarismo, ao idealizar a ordem pré-revolucionária, rejeitar totalmente as mudanças trazidas pela revolução e defender uma resposta radical a ela, reveste-se do mesmo desejo de destruição das instituições, de modo a aproximar-se do pensamento revolucionário. Por outro lado, o conservadorismo mais próximo a Burke rechaça utopias, é realista e guia-se pela prudência, razão pela qual não defende qualquer tipo de ruptura radical, mesmo em sociedades pós-revolucionárias. Chega-se à conclusão de que não há incoerência em ser conservador em um contexto pós-revolucionário, pois não se defenderá a destruição completa das instituições “contaminadas” pela revolução, mas sim a retomada das boas tradições, pelos mecanismos institucionais.

Published: August 2023

A field experiment was conducted during 2008-2010 at G B Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar to study the response of sugarcane plant and ratoon crops to subsoiling and preparatory tillage. The experiment consisting of five subsoiling treatments in plant crop (No subsoiling, subsoiling at 1.0 m, subsoiling at 1.5 m, cross- subsoiling at 1.0 m and cross-subsoiling at 1.5 m distance) and three preparatory tillage practices (two harrowing, four harrowing and one rotavator) was laid out in strip plot design with three replications. The ratoon crop was managed mechanically with a newly developed Sugarcane Ratoon Manager in all the subsoiling treatments. The root and shoot growth, nutrients uptake, and yield of plant and ratoon crops increased with the intensity of subsoiling. The most intense subsoiling, i.e. cross-subsoiling at 1.0 m in plant crop resulted significantly more root biomass (70.1 g/ m3), shoot dry matter (40.9 tonnes/ha), nutrient uptake (220.9 kg N, 26.6 kg P and 307.6 kg K/ha), cane weight (883.8 g), millable canes (100.2 thousand/ha) and cane yield (75.8 tonnes/ha). Subsoiling practices coupled with mechanized management of ratoon exhibited significant improvement in root biomass (73.6 %), shoot dry matter (31.7 %), NPK uptake (29.3, 34.9 and 34.3 %, respectively), cane weight (13.6%), millable canes (21.9%) and cane yield (26.6%) over manual operations (control). All the preparatory tillage practices were at par with respect to the parameters studied, however, root biomass increased significantly with increase in number of tillage practices being maximum in four harrowing treatment.

Published: August 2023

A field experiment was conducted during the two consecutive rabi seasons of 2007-08 and 2008-09 at Varanasi on sandy loam soil to study the effect of organic, inorganic and biofertilizers on dwarf pea (Pisum sativum L.). The experiment was conducted in a split-plot design and replicated thrice. All the fertility levels, viz. chemical fertilizers, vermicompost and control were allotted to main plot and combinations of biofertilizers (Rizobium+Bacillus polymixa +Pseudomonas fluorescence) and Zn along with control were subjected to sub-plot. Results showed superimposition of 50% Norganic (recommended dose of N through vermicompost) to 100% NPK (recommended dose of NPK through chemical fertilizers) resulted in significant improvement of dry matter/plant, yield (grain and straw, harvest index), root growth (root dry weight, root N content and cation exchange capacity of root) and nutrient uptake (NPKS and Zn). However nodulation (root nodules/plant, dry weight of nodules/plant and nitrogenase activity at 30 and 60 DAS) was lesser with this fertility level but significantly higher than 100% NPK and control (no application).Gross and net returns (` 45 358 and 31 223/ha) were noted higher with 100% NPK + 50% Norganic fertility level. Benefit: cost ratio (2.21) was also recorded higher with 100% NPK + 50% Norganic level. The integrated application of biofertilizers and Zn was recorded significantly better than control as this treatment lucidly improved dry matter, yield, harvest index, root growth, nodulation and nutrient uptake. Benefit: cost ratio was also higher with combined application of PSB and Zn. Furthermore, integration of 100% NPK + 50% Norganic and biofertilizers + Zn was conducive for getting significantly optimum yield (1873 kg/ha).

A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2009-10 at research farm, College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh) to study the effect of different dose of nitrogen and sulphur on growth, yield and quality of onion. The treatments consisted of three levels of nitrogen, viz. N1 - 80 kg N/ ha, N2 -100 kg N/ha and N3- 120 kg N/ha and four levels of sulphur, viz. S1-15 kg S/ha, S2- 30 kg S/ha, S3- 45 kg S/ha and S4 - 60 kg S/ha. Application of nitrogen and sulphur had significant influence on the growth, yield and quality attributes of onion. Maximum plant height, number of leaves per plant, fresh weight of shoot, fresh weight of bulb, horizontal diameter, vertical diameter, bulb yield, neck diameter, total soluble solid content and pyruvic acid content were recorded with application of nitrogen 120 kg/ha. Similarly application of 60 kg S/ha resulted in highest values of growth, yield and quality attributes of onion. Combined effect of nitrogen and sulphur showed significant effect on fresh weight of shoot, fresh weight of bulb, horizontal diameter, vertical diameter, bulb yield and pyruvic acid content with maximum values under 120 kg N + 60 kg S/ha. Maximum gross income, net income and cost: benefit ratio was also found with 120 kg N + 60 kg S/ha.
Standardization of seed germination technique in Khurasani-ajavayan (Hyoscyamus niger) seeds
Authors: VERMA SHER SINGH , VERMA P K , VERMA URMIL
Published: August 2023

The Khurasani-ajvayan (Hyoscyamus niger L) is an important medicinal plant which is having high medicinal value. The germination test was conducted in the laboratory at three different temperatures (20, 25 and 30°C) and substrata (BP, TP and S). The results revealed that species having high percentage of hard seeds ranged from 58.0 -74.0% at 20°C followed by 25°C and 30°C which ranged from 42.0- 55.0% and 44.0 to 47.0%, respectively in all the substrata after 15 days of planting. To overcome this problem of low germination, the seeds were further subjected to various treatments, viz. seed soaking in water (24 and 48 hr), GA3 (200 and 500ppm), KNO3 (0.2%) and conc. sulphuric acid (H2SO4) 15 seconds to enhance seed germination and tested for seed germination after seed treatment. Among these treatments, GA3 (200 ppm) recorded the maximum normal seedlings (73.0%) in BP substrata followed by TP (68.0%) at 30°C after 12 days. Hard seeds were also reduced after soaking the seeds in water for 48 hr but it resulted in a subsequent increase in the dead seeds. KNO3 (0.2%) and GA3 (500 ppm) seed treatments enhanced the germination up to 50% as compared to control after 13 and 14 days, respectively irrespective of substrata and temperatures. Therefore, it is suggested that the seeds of Khurasani-ajvayan should be tested for germination in BP/TP substrata at 30°C after soaking the seeds in GA3 (200 ppm) solution for 24hours. The final count for germination should be taken after 12 days.
Rainfed agriculture in India: An analysis of performance and implications
Authors: SURESH A , RAJU S S , CHAUHAN SONIA , CHAUDHARY K R
Published: August 2023

The paper examines the trend in the performance of rainfed agriculture in India across major crops during pre- and post-liberalisation period; and ascertains the trend in net income of crop groups of different water requirements in rainfed regions. The major crop groups considered in the analysis are coarse cereals, oilseeds, pulses and cotton. The results indicate that the growth in production of oilseeds and pulses during 1980s and early 1990s weaned out during the subsequent period, probably due to the dilution of some of the policy initiatives like mission mode operation for these crops and adverse terms of trade. However, the yield of most of the crops has increased during the post- liberalisation period. This was also associated with a sharp increase in cost of cultivation. The rate of increase in cost of cultivation was severer for traditional rainfed crops compared to water intensive crops like sugarcane and paddy. Also, the growth in value of production has been lower than the growth in cost of cultivation for the rainfed crops during the post-liberalisation period. The parity of the net income also favoured cultivation of water intensive crops in rainfed lands. Rainfed regions need to focus on yield enhancement through natural resource conservation notably, water; and, incentivise rainfed agriculture through price policies and market opportunities. The study calls for increased investment for rainfed regions for creation of affordable technologies for water conservation and increasing water use efficiency; creation of institutions for better water management and spreading water literacy for sustainable crop production.

Published: August 2023

The ever growing concern over enhancing research effectiveness of the public agricultural research system of the country has entailed the crucial need for assessing current status of research productivity. The sample of the study comprised of randomly drawn two hundred agricultural scientists across strata from a high performing and a low performing agricultural institute of India. A research productivity index was developed to measure productivity of respondents under study. The statistical analysis was based upon self-reported data by the scientists under different productivity parameters. The study revealed that there is ample scope of enhancing research productivity among the scientists as the majority (63.5%) of scientists had low to very low level of productivity. In the low performing institute, only 5% of the scientists had higher level of productivity. Even in the high performing institute, only 28% of the scientists had high to very high level of productivity. The findings of the study further indicated the crucial need for revisiting the present system of career advancement for Principal Scientists as the results of a t-test failed to produce a significant value of productivity difference between the Principal Scientists and Senior Scientists. Balanced involvement of the scientists from the low performing institute in research and teaching activities, organization development interventions in regular intervals for ensuring a pro-research and creative organizational environment and allocation of sufficient fund for individual research projects may be suggested among the necessary measures for harnessing optimum research productivity of scientists.

A field experiment was conducted during 2007-08 and 2008-09 at New Delhi to study the effect of summer forage crops, pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz] and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] and phosphogypsum-enriched urea (PGEU) on soil quality, nitrogen-use efficiency, quality parameters and yield of Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) and their residual effect on succeeding wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) productivity under Basmati riceâ€“wheat cropping system. Among the 3 forage crops grown during summer, pearlmillet + cowpea mixture recorded significantly higher fodder yields, i e 43.2 and 42.7 tonnes/ha green fodder during 2007 and 2008, respectively compared to pearlmillet sole and cowpea sole. In Basmati rice, soil quality, nitrogen-use efficiency, yield and quality parameters of Basmati rice were increased significantly due to preceding forage crops. Based on mean of 2 years data, application of 7.5% PGEU significantly increased rice yield (20.5%) and rice kernel quality parameters, viz. protein content (19.9%), hulling (11.4%) and milling (12.5%), head rice recovery (12.5%), rice grain length before (3.5%) and after cooking (6.8%) and rice grain breadth before (8.6%) and after cooking (5.5%) of Basmati rice than 0% PGEU. Significantly higher yield, i e 5.33 tonnes/ha and 5.55 tonnes/ha during 2007 and 2008 respectively and better quality parameters, viz. hulling, milling and head rice recovery of Basmati rice was obtained when it was grown after the harvest of cowpea than the other treatments. Application of 7.5% PGEU resulted in good quality Basmati rice with increased yield. Different summer forage crops and PGEU applied to Basmati rice left significant residual effect on succeeding wheat yield under Basmati riceâ€“wheat cropping system.

Published: August 2023

In Indonesia, apartment living has become common due to limited land availability but the apartment should be able to answer people’s living requirements despite the smaller size. This research examined four existing apartment developments in Indonesia with respect to unit space design/allocation. Based on information from the Asia Property Awards of 2019 and 2021 the study developments represented the “best” and “best affordable” condominium developers/developments in Indonesia. Asia Property Awards was established in Thailand in 2005 as the ultimate hallmark to recognize the region’s finest real estate developments and developers. This event acknowledges and celebrates the extraordinary achievements of developers and residential developments in Asia. Unit plans for the studied developments were obtained from official websites of the developers and were compared to the residential standard of Indonesia. The results show that studied apartments in Indonesia do not have laundry space, ironing space, and storage space. Thus, apartments in Indonesia still do not meet established residential standards. The results of this research were used to propose that Indonesian development companies should build apartments according to the official residential standard, SNI 03-1979-1990.
Possibilities and Limitations of Aqueous Temperature Responsive Liquid Chromatography in Comprehensive 2D–LC

In theory, comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) allows for significant enhanced peak capacity compared to one-dimensional high performance LC (1D-HPLC). However, reaching such a separation performance while also obtaining robust, easily implementable, and sensitive methods proves challenging. Because it can hinder the broader use of 2D-LC, there is a need for developing easier, more trouble-free approaches that feature the benefits of LC×LC while not compromising with what can be done with 1D-HPLC. Commercial 2D-LC interfaces are based on two-position multiport valves composed of two loops, which are alternatingly used either to collect the effluent from the first dimension (1D), or to inject their content to the second dimension (2D). This design implies that if large sampling volumes transferred to the second column need to be avoided, a comparatively (much) higher flow rate and broader column i.d. is required for the second column. However, doing so can lead to a loss in sensitivity because of dilution and impractical analytical chromatography as a result of the high flow rates involved. In most LC×LC column combinations, this problem is exacerbated thanks to the high eluotropic strength of transferred loop volumes. However, when the elution strength of the transferred solvent is very small, refocusing the analytes can be obtained, which allows the user to overcome such issues. For example, this is the case when a purely aqueous separation mode is combined with reversed-phase LC (RPLC) in the 1D and 2D, respectively. Temperature responsive LC (TRLC), which is an emerging LC mode requiring only water as the mobile phase and whereby retention is controlled via temperature only, is promising in this context. In this second installment about TRLC, we illustrate the unique benefits of the combination of this separation mode with RPLC in comprehensive 2D-LC. The potential of the approach is shown through the analysis of representative standard mixtures, active pharmaceutical ingredients, synthetic impurities and phenolics in natural products.

The Vernaricum is the highest partial unit belonging to the Hronic nappe system of the Internal Western Carpathians. The stratigraphic range of the Vernaricum sediments is from the Lower Triassic to the Lower Jurassic. The Permian rhyolites and volcaniclastics are tectonically incorporated into the Lower Triassic sediments. The Vernaricum overlies tectonic units of the Northern Veporicum, Fatricum, lower partial nappes of Hronicum and Southern Veporicum. The Gemeric, Meliatic and Silicic rock complexes are located in the tectonic overburden. The paleogeographic position of the Vernaricum is interpreted between the Veporic and Gemeric zones.

The studied mineralization is located on the eastern slopes of Lopejské Čelno valley, south of the Lopej village (cadastral area of Podbrezová village, Central Slovakia). The U occurrence was described and classified as U-Cu stratiform mineralization. The mineralization is located in the Ľubietová Zone of Veporic Unit, and is bound to the arkosic sandstones containing Permian volcanoclastic material. The host rock of mineralization underwent low-grade metamorphism and limonitization. Lens shaped ore bodies are characterized by disseminated pyrite, rutile, chalcopyrite, leucoxene and metatorbernite. Small cavities and cracks in rock are also filled and/or coated by goethite, Mn oxides and malachite. Uranium is irregularly distributed within the host rock and is bound to the U-Ti oxides, brannerite and torbernite/metatorbernite. Brannerite and leucoxenized U-Ti oxides are the only one primary uranium U4+ minerals, for the first time identified in studied occurrence. Brannerite forms clusters of needle-like crystals (up to 100 μm in size). It occurs in close spatial and genetic association with U-Ti oxides, rutile, leucoxene and clay minerals. Chemical composition of brannerite and U-Ti oxides differs in ratio of U/(U + Ti): from 0.22 to 0.29 apfu for brannerite and from 0.09 to 0.22 apfu for U-Ti oxides. Metatorbernite forms light green crystals, typically occurs in small cavities and fractures in rock. It shows an unusual light green luminescence under UV radiation. The average chemical composition of metatorbernite can be expressed by empiric formula (Cu0.75Ba0.06Ca0.03K0.04Al0.02Mg0.01Fe0.01)Σ0.94 (UO2)Σ2.00 (PO4)Σ2.01 (H2O)8. Occasionally torbernite/metatorbernite directly replaces single crystals of apatite.
Protest and Conflict in African Literature: The Nigerian Experience Expressed in Selected Plays by Zulu Sofola and Tess Onwueme
Authors: Obiajulu Eziechine Augustine
Published: August 2023

The prevailing social situation in a society at any given time determines the temperament of its literature. African literature of the post–independence period is generally reactive in temperament. This emergent trend in African literature is as a result of the prevailing economic, social and political situations in most African nations. In Nigerian society, for instance, there is inequality, injustice, unemployment, hunger, marginalization, environmental degradation, corruption, political instability, socio-economic ills and religious violence. Obviously, these suffocating experiences are bound to generate protests and conflicts arising from people who are dissatisfied. Drama and prose have been mostly deployed to confront these unjust and inhuman situations. However, this paper focuses mainly on the selected plays authored by Zulu Sofola and Tess Onwueme. The study is basically a survey of Zulu Sofola and Tess Onwueme’s selected plays which explore the thematic concern of this paper. Content analysis of the plays reveals that protest can be used to resist and protest all oppressive structures in society.
‘BARCELONA CP’ A case of chronic cyanoacrylate glue
Authors: Nguyen Vu , Sharma Richa
Published: August 2023

Purpose

To report a case of idiopathic corneal perforation with chronic inflammation in the setting of a persistent cyanoacrylate corneal glue patch lasting 420 days.

Observations

Cyanoacrylate glue is a fast-acting and effective adhesive which has been utilised in the repair of corneal perforations. Their strength, quick drying, non-biodegradable and anti-microbial properties make them a valuable tool in closing small corneal wounds, often as a temporising measure before definitive management is performed. Complications associated with cyanoacrylate patch include glue toxicity, inflammation, corneal neovascularisation and giant papillary conjunctivitis.

Conclusions

Cyanoacrylate glue should be considered a transitory measure. It is preferable to remove cyanoacrylate at the end of the treatment unless the glue has self-dislodge. Controversies surround the issue of selecting proper timing for removal of cyanoacrylate glue with no clear consensus.

Recent Developments in the Use of Polyaniline-Based Materials for Electric and Magnetic Field Responsive Smart Fluids
Authors: Erol Ozlem
Published: August 2023

Smart fluids are stimuli-responsive materials whose rheological properties can be changed drastically by applying either an external electric or magnetic field strength. Smart fluids are dispersions comprised of dispersed particles in a carrier liquid that transform from liquid-like state to solid-like state within milliseconds reversibly with an application of external field due to the structural chain formation of the dispersed particles. Owing to this outstanding controllable transformation capability, smart fluids are utilized in various potential applications where an electro/magneto-mechanical interface is required, such as dampers, clutches, shock absorbers, robotics, haptic devices, microfluidics, etc. Various kinds of materials have been proposed and used by researchers for applications that require the electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) effects. Polyaniline (PAn) is considered a remarkable material as a dispersed phase of ER fluids due to its easy synthesis, low cost, adjustable conductivity through doping/de-doping processes, and excellent environmental stability. PAn is an attractive material in MR fluids as well due to its contribution to the improvement of dispersion stability and protection against corrosion and oxidation of the soft-magnetic particles. In this chapter, the recent advances in the usage of various kinds of PAn-based materials as electric and magnetic field responsive materials and their ER/MR behaviors are summarized.

Authors: Neuville Quentin , Scheerlinck Thierry , Duerinck Johnny
Published: August 2023

Augmented reality (AR) for surgical navigation is a relatively new but rapidly evolving and promising field. AR can add navigation to the surgical workflow in a more intuitive way, improving ergonomics and precision. Neurosurgery has a long tradition in computer-assisted surgical navigation and was the first discipline to use this technology to navigate interventions. Orthopedic surgery is following this path with a wide range of new use cases currently in development. In this chapter, we will describe the evolution of AR as a surgical navigation tool, focusing on application developed for neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery. Based on our own experience, we will also discuss future perspectives and the hurdles to be overcome before the widespread breakthrough of this technology.

Authors: Jorge Coelho Ferreira Pedro , Manuel Ferreira-Gomes Luis , Sousa Oliveira Alcino
Published: August 2023

The sulfurous groundwater of Longroiva Medical Spa, having a use that comes from a long time ago, was the subject of several studies and research. In the last 50 years, its quality has been tested at the physical-chemical and microbiological levels in the different abstractions, namely, in the Classic Spring and the Well TD1, currently deactivated, and with greater detail in the current abstraction, Well AC1A. It was based on detailed studies, namely, systematic physical-chemical and microbiological analyses, that the sulfurous water from Well AC1A was legalized as natural mineral water; this situation made possible major investments in the place, such as the construction of the new Longroiva Medical Spa, among others. In this chapter, the stability of water quality over time is analyzed, based on studies resulting from the application of classical and multivariate statistical methods as well as the results of studies on the microbiome of these waters. The main conclusions are presented regarding the vulnerability of the aquifer and the exploration plan.

Background: With the popularity of WeChat, Internet-based nursing approaches are gradually being applied to disease care, as they can better meet nursing requirements. Objectives: To explore the impact of the WeChat health management platform on the self-care ability and quality of life of patients with liver cancer undergoing interventional therapy Methods: A total of 82 patients with liver cancer who underwent interventional therapy were selected from January 2020 to January 2021 and randomly divided into the observation (n = 41) and control (n = 41) groups. The control group received routine nursing measures, while the observation group received the new nursing mode based on the WeChat health management platform. The WeChat health management platform can help patients develop health education plans, remind them of follow-up appointments, promote knowledge about nursing measures for liver cancer interventional therapies, provide feedback on medication use to doctors, and strengthen doctor–patient communication. The self-care ability and quality of life of the two groups of patients were compared before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) scores were lower in the patients of the observation group than those in the control group, indicating an improvement in the adverse moods and quality of life of patients in the observation group. Also, the psychological, physical, and social functions and overall health scores of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (all P-values < 0.05). Conclusions: The WeChat health management platform could improve the self-care ability of liver cancer patients undergoing interventional therapy and their mood and quality of life, which is worthy of clinical reference.

Penerapan Prinsip Tolong Menolong Dalam Perjanjian Asuransi Syariah Ditinjau Dari Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Sobirin Lisda Apriliani
Published: August 2023

Dewasa ini pembangunan ekonomi Islam di Indonesia berkembang dengan pesat dimana banyak didirikannya lembaga keuangan yang berdasarkan pada prinsip syariah, salah satunya asuransi syariah. Asuransi syariah menggunakan prinsip saling tolong menolong dengan cara masing-masing menghibahkan dana tabarru’. Teori murni tabarru’ tidak membolehkan adanya penggantian, namun dalam praktiknya, peserta mendapatkan penggembalian dana tabarru’ melalui klaim atau surplus underwriting, sehingga konsep tabarru’ dalam asuransi syariah kehilangan esensi yang memiliki arti tolong menolong. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konsep. Jenis penelitiannya adalah penelitian deskriptif. Dari hasil pembahasan bahwa akad yang terdapat dalam asuransi syariah yaitu akad tijarah (investasi) dan akad tabarru’ (tolong menolong), sehingga dalam sistem pengelolaannya dibagi menjadi dua rekening, yaitu dana investasi dan dana hibah. Prinsip tolong menolong ini terda pat dalam akad tabarru’. Pada saat peserta mendapatkan klaim berarti peserta sedang menerima manfaat hibah bukan berarti menarik kembali dana hibah seperti yang dilarang oleh hukum Islam. Apabila tidak terjadi klaim, maka pembagian surplus underwriting dapat dilakukan dengan merujuk pada pendapat Abu Hanifah yang membolehkan penarikan kembali harta hibah selama belum dibalas, sehingga hibah yang terdapat dalam asuransi syariah dikategorikan ke dalam hibah dengan syarat.
