Authors: Salmen Teodor , Bohiltea Roxana-Elena , Mihai Bianca-Margareta , Nedelescu Mirela , Zugravu Corina-Aurelia
Published: March 2022

Attitudes and knowledge regarding the food environment and purchasing behaviour are drivers or hindrances toward a healthier lifestyle. A questionnaire-based study on consumers’ knowledge about food and health and main drivers for food purchasing was applied to a group of Romanians and results were compared with those from a similar study carried about 10 years ago. Respondents seem to be more aware of some environmental and ecological problems (deforestation, global warming, etc), about the importance of bioproducts consumption, and regarding the link between food products and health. Still, the nutritional part of the food label is underused. The main reasons for selecting food are the same as in 2011, but with the greater interest paid to food related health aspects and taste. The perceived trust in food safety remains low. The consumers` amount of knowledge regarding food increased, food being perceived more as a useful adjuvant for health maintenance and an energy booster. Ten years after, some positive changes have been noticed in a group of Romanian citizens. Efforts have to continue in order to put a greater accent on the link between health, food, and purchasing behaviour. Education policies at local and European level have to guide consumers` choices so that the impact of food consumption becomes a sanogenic and sustainable one, both on people, and the environment.

The Role of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in Maintaining Religious Tolerance in Papua: Some ‎Observations
Authors: Ridwan Ridwan
Published: March 2022

The presence of the Transnational Islamic Movement in Papua in the 1998 Reformation era has transformed the relationship between Muslims and Christians which had been harmoniously tense and could even lead to inter-religious conflict. One of the Islamic organisations in Papua working to maintain religious harmony is Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). Therefore, this paper aims to review how the NU responded to the Tolikara incident and the Koya Barat incident. Both cases related to the presence of the transnational Islamic actors in Papua, including Salafi-Wahhabi group, specifically Jafar Umar Thalib’s faction in Papua, which has disturbed interreligious relations. This article argues that Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) plays a vital role in maintaining religious harmony that is in jeopardy with the presence of the transnational Islamic movement in Papua. This paper is based on data from fieldwork that the author has done from the end of 2015 to the early 2019 and is equipped with related library data.
The Concept of Husnul Khotimah in the Syiir of Erang-erang Sekar Panjang by Charismatic NU Kyai Named Muhammad Siraj: A Study of Hermeneutics
Authors: Rahman Ithafur
Published: March 2022

Syiir Erang-erang Sekar Panjang was written by a charismatic NU kyai named K.H. Muhammad Siraj Payaman Magelang. Writing poetry is like an expression full of meaning and bound to the conventions of old poetry. However, on the other hand there is leeway to play with the convention. The theory to explore the meaning of this poem is the phenomeological hermeneutics theory. The phenomenological approach tries to open meaning from lingua interpretation to philosophical interpretation. The method used in this research is the dialectical method. The working mechanism of dialectics consists of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. The results of this study indicate that Syiir Erang-erang Sekar Panjang contains a deep philosophical meaning related to death, namely the deconstruction of lay views regarding death. This verse states that death is only an effect of life and is precisely the beginning of the next life, namely life in the grave and the hereafter. In addition, the concept of husnul khotimah is also found in this syiir which consists of recommendations and prohibitions. There are six recommendations in this syiir, namely nrima, loma, food gathering, performing fardhu prayers, obedience and repentance, and always remembering death. There are five prohibitions contained in this verse, namely the prohibition of excessive love of the world, the prohibition of predicting the world, the prohibition of always feeling lacking, the prohibition of ambition to seek the world, and the prohibition of accumulating wealth.
The Existence of the Nahdlatul Ulama Party in the Guided Democracy Era
Authors: Hidayat Rina Andriani
Published: March 2022

This paper was motivated by the success of Nahdlatul Ulama to become the most prominent Islamic political party during the Guided Democracy period. In addition, at the time, Nahdlatul Ulama Party (PNU) played an essential role in the national political scene as one of the main components of the "Nasakom" politics promoted by President Soekarno from religious circles. Even the PNU has the right to have representatives in all government commissions and organizations.The main problem in this paper was: why did PNU manage to maintain its existence as an Islamic political party and become one of the main components of “Nasakom” politics during the Guided Democracy period? Based on these problems, several research questions were formulated: Why did NU turn into a political party? How was Sukarno's political policy during the Guided Democracy? What was the PNU's political stance during the Guided Democracy? The political existence of the PNU during the Guided Democracy was written using the historical method with a behavioristic approach. As for the spatial and temporal scope of the Soekarno government's research during the Guided Democracy period (1959-1965). The results showed that the PNU's stance was motivated by the attitude of PNU's dissatisfaction with the political policies of the Masyumi Party. PNU's participation in the 1955 General Election made PNU the third-largest political party after the PNI and the Masyumi Party. During the Guided Democracy period, the PNU tried to maintain its existence by supporting every political policy of Soekarno through support based on the principles of ushul fiqh, namely wisdom, flexibility, and moderation. Even in the decision-making process, there is often a bargaining process.

Studies have been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of the "Kliodeziv" agent in the sanitation of a room for keeping goats by determining the bacterial contamination of the air and walls of the room before and after treatment. It has been established that the Kliodeziv agent has a pronounced bactericidal activity, as it causes a significant decrease in the microbial contamination of the air and walls of the livestock building. The total microbial contamination of the air in the room for keeping goats decreased by 45% and amounted to 3836 CFU, against 6991 CFU before the start of the experiment. Bacteriological evaluation of washouts from wall surfaces showed a decrease in bacterial contamination by 74%, from 1200 CFU to 312 CFU after treatment. Under the influence of Kliodeziv, an increase in the content of erythrocytes by 13%, leukocytes by 7.0% and hemoglobin by 8.9% was noted, which confirms a beneficial effect on erythropoiesis, hemoglobin synthesis, and an increase in the body's defense reactions. Means "Kliodesiv" did not have a negative impact on the biochemical parameters of the blood of small ruminants. Under the influence of iodine, which is part of the agent, an increase in the level of metabolic processes was noted. The content of total protein in the blood serum by the end of the experiment increased by 2.3%; albumin by 3.8%. Means "Cliodesiv" helps to reduce ALT by 4.0%, AST by 7.2%, which indicates a positive effect of the drug on muscle tissue and animal productivity.

Published: March 2022

The contents of the traditional cultural include social resources and cultural capital. This writing is only limited to cultural capital. Cultural capital is a traditional capital, cultural value and norm also local wisdom used to empowered human life in order to make a peaceful and prosperous society. The paradigm of this research is in the form of qualitative research because in this study the form and meaning of the text of a song was explored, found, disclosed, and explained. The form is related to the structure of the text morphologically, whereas the meaning is related to the content that is understood as a value, norm, or local wisdom. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to describe 1) the morphological form of Kakantara Tombulu sa ko meleng ulalan lampangan, and 2) the contents or meanings related to values, norms, local wisdom in the song. Data collection is done by observation and interviews. The observers are the perpetrators of this oral tradition especially when they sing this song together (the atmosphere of joy displayed), and the listeners or connoisseurs of this tradition (passive audience). Interviews were carried out to informants who played an active role or as perpetrators of oral traditions. These observations and interviews were carried out in the city of Tomohon, precisely in the Kakaskasen area, which according to the writer’s observation they sing the songs in Tombulu language actively. The result of the study shows that the song of Sa ko meleng lampangan was the thanksgiving song of the ethnic Tombulu who had 1) the structure of the language morphologically morphophemis and has polymorphic morpheme. Thus, this morphological process (affixation and reduplication) forms a new meaning or reinforces the meaning as mentioned by the basic word; 2) Cultural capital can be seen in the form of cultural values and norms which are reflected through the values of faith, brotherhood, friendship, and sincerity implemented by the practitioners or connoisseurs of oral tradition which is bound by certain norms and has become the source of peace and prosperity as the core of local wisdom of the people of Tombulu.Keywords: cultural capital: values, norms, local wisdom
Effect of additive metal salt on ionic liquid/Li4Ti5O12 electrode interfaces investigated by atomic force microscopy
Authors: Bao Yifan , Kitta Mitsunori , Ichii Takashi , Utsunomiya Toru , Sugimura Hiroyuki
Published: March 2022

Ionic liquids (ILs) form layered solvation structures at IL/electrode interfaces relevant to many electrochemical applications. Recently, we observed a partially disturbed solvation structure at the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMI-TFSI)/spinel lithium titanate oxide (Li4Ti5O12, LTO) electrode interface containing Li-salt and considered the Li+-ion transfer occurring at the interface as one plausible reason for this partial destruction. In this study, we investigated EMI-TFSI/LTO(111) interfaces with the addition of K-salt or Mg-salt by frequency modulation atomic force microscopy utilizing a quartz tuning fork. It is assumed that no ion-transfer occurs at these two interfaces. The laterally consecutive solvation structures were observed at both interfaces, which strongly supported our hypothesis. Additionally, a kink in the solvation structure was observed at the interface containing Mg-salt. These results offer a comprehensive understanding of the perplexing IL/electrode interfaces with an addition of metal salt.

Published: March 2022

A one-dimensional focusing grating coupler array based in silicon nitride (SiN) was proposed for trapped ion qubit manipulation. By applying inverse design optimization with a double-etched grating structure, a directionality of 98% was achieved. A small beam diameter of 2.5 μm on the target ion with a low crosstalk of −36 dB was attained. Additionally, the impact of fabrication errors was investigated through a Monte Carlo simulation; within the accuracy of an electron beam lithography-based process, the output efficiency was maintained at 93%.

Authors: Miyagawa Reina , Matsuura Hidenori , Nakamura Ayumu , Eryu Osamu
Published: March 2022

We investigated the formation of periodic nanostructures on GaN induced by circularly-polarized femtosecond laser pulses. The structure shape changed from spiral to dots structures with increasing the pulse number. The structure change explained the previous inconsistent results, and we suggest a hypothesis for the formation dynamics. The period of the dots structures was approximately 150 nm which is almost 1/7 of the laser wavelength, and it kept crystalline comparable to the original substrate. The laser-induced periodic surface structures are expected to apply as a new fine processing technology.

Although NO nitridation is effective in improving the interface properties, we found that it reduces the onset field of Fowler–Nordheim current by about 1 MV cm−1, leading to pronounced leakage current. Synchrotron radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the nitridation reduces the conduction band offset at the SiO2/SiC interface, corroborating the above finding. Furthermore, systematical positive and negative bias stress tests clearly indicated the enhancement of V
FB instability of nitrided a-face MOS devices against electron and hole injection.
Structure dependence of oscillation characteristics of structure-simplified resonant-tunneling-diode terahertz oscillator
Authors: Van Ta Mai , Suzuki Yusei , Yu Xiongbin , Suzuki Safumi , Asada Masahiro
Published: March 2022

A structure-simplified resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillator eliminates metal–insulator–metal capacitors, resulting in a simple and brief fabrication process. However, the structure dependence of oscillation characteristics has not been identified. We revealed the structure dependence and obtained an oscillation frequency of up to ∼1 THz using a short antenna. We found that an increase in radiation conductance using offset-fed structure combined with coplanar stripline antennas is effective for high output power, and achieved up to ∼220 μW of output power at 500 GHz. We also clarified the dependence of the oscillation frequency on the stabilization resistor.

Published: March 2022

We theoretically demonstrate an ultranarrow perfect light absorption (PIA) of a 3D metamaterial due to the strong coupling between the magnetic plasmon of the Au vertical split-ring resonator (VSRR) and the surface plasmon polariton propagating above the Au film. Through lifting the VSRRs above the metallic film to decrease the dielectric substrate effect, the linewidth of 1.9 nm of the PIA is obtained. Our proposed 3D metamaterial shows the high sensitivity (S = 711 nm RIU, S* = 13/RIU) and figure of merit (FoM = 374, FoM* = 1.3 × 105), which could be used for optical gas sensing in the visible frequency range.

Now a day, every educational environment requires an evolution of classrooms from traditional model to a more active model of classrooms. The main objective of a classroom model is to spend more time on teaching and learning and less on organizing and monitoring the workflow of the classroom. This project proposes “IoT based Cloud Integrated Smart and sustainable Classroom”. Smart classroom is developed to monitor and regularize the activities like assignments, projects, tutorial submission and attendance monitoring of the Students or scholar at ease in real time by the faculty, mentor or advisor. The proposed system monitors and reports whether the assignments, projects, tutorial is submitted on or before scheduled timeline, and sends the remainder notification to complete the assigned work in stipulated time. The proposed system utilizes Cloud Computing and Internet of Things, where sensors and processors are embedded in physical objects to form a network and communicate information with ease. RF identity card reader is fixed at each classroom to monitor the Students and give them alert, so that they meet the faculty or mentor for getting permission for attending the class if they failed to submit their work on time. Thus, by reducing the work of management, time for teaching and learning will be increased resulting in high performance of the classroom.

Published: March 2022

Code-switching is a linguistic phenomenon that has been studied on both written and spoken discourses in the recent
years. This study is an attempt to analyze code-switching in selected discourses. The data were collected from Arabic
Interviews on YouTube. The first interview 'Studying in the best university ever' is a broadcast by Abdullah Al-Alawy. The
second interview 'Karak session' is with the broadcaster Mohammed Al-Hinai. The methodology of this study was a
mixed (quantitative as well as qualitative) method. The research tries to answer three questions: 1.How many codeswitching Instincts from Arabic language to English language occurred in the selected discourses? 2. Is there any
translation for the code-switching? If yes, then where the translation takes its place whether before or after the codeswitching? 3. How many intra-word switching occur by using Arabic grammatical morphemes within these English
code-switching?
The research's primary goal is to improve our understanding of the instinctive uses of code-switching from Arabic to
English. In this study I found that there are 101 occurrences of code-switching within about forty minutes of Arabic
discourses. The most frequent type of code-switching in these two discourses was intra-sentential code-witching. While
the least used one was inter-sentential code-switching. Most of the code-switching Instincts occurred without any
translation to Arabic.

Authors: ODAFIVWOTU OHWO
Published: March 2022

The aim of this study was to examine the pattern of informal water vending in Yenagoa metropolis. The study adopted the survey design, which involved field observation and the administration of two sets of 100 and 400 questionnaires, which were administered to water vendors and households respectively, in ten randomly selected communities, using the systematic sampling technique. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that 61.30% of households depended on informal water vendors for their water supply, as 59.48% of households do not have water connection. However, the activities of the informal vendors were not well appreciated and regulated by government. This also influenced households’ poor rating of their services. The water vending business was more prominent in areas that were occupied by the less privileged, which lack public water utility, thus validating the underclass hypothesis. It is recommended that government should integrate informal water vendors into the mainstream of water provision in the town by establishing a legal regulatory framework, which would help to achieve safe and affordable water supply to the inhabitants.

The life chances of children of adolescents’ mothers are exposed to superior risk from birth to even their general well-being in the society at large. It is based on this note that this study – the life chances of children of adolescent mothers and the implications of teenage pregnancy to the mother and the child and the socio-economic effects as well as educational, medical and psychological effects of adolescents parenting on the child were critically examined. The study adopted the attachment theory as the theoretical framework. The sampled size consisted of 124 respondents selected through the snowball sampling technique, while the mean, standard deviation and Z-test served as the statistical tools used in explaining the life chances of the children of adolescent and adult mothers. The study revealed that children of adult mothers have access to good nutrition, medical facilities than their counterparts. In other words, children of teenage mothers do not have equal life chances with children of adult mothers. On the basis of these findings, the study recommends that government should provide welfare schemes and public assistance to adolescent mothers because their children are more likely to encounter increased prevalence of health problems. Proper sensitization might also indicate the success of widespread health care programmes that are designed to increase providers’ contact with teenage mothers and their children.

Authors: EGBE OLAWARI D.J.
Published: March 2022

This paper investigates an uncommon and lackluster attitude towards education among youths of Bayelsa State. The Rentier State Theory (RST) is adopted as its theoretical handle. Primary and secondary sources of information were deployed in the study; with 20 randomly sampled communities of four local government areas of Bayelsa State. The paper makes an interesting insight into a rare connection between natural resource endowment and youth education, even as part of a growing concern on how to take youth away from criminality and violent conflicts in many complex conflict-ridden societies. Nigeria, and in particular, Bayelsa State need to make more effort at making education a key instrument in both national and sub-national development. The paper identifies rents/royalties from oil and gas in Bayelsa State as the major culprit. Furthermore, it assertsthat life of flamboyance and affluence without commensurate hard work, has caused disdain for education among the youths of Bayelsa State.
THE CHURCH AND THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA
Authors: SAALE LAZARUS BARIBIAE
Published: March 2022

This study examined the role of the Church in the re-injection of morality and ethics into the fight against corruption. It also explored the causes of church passivity and inadequacy in the fight against corruption in Nigeria. The study used Max Weber’s framework of functional-structuralism in which there is little or no separation between religion, morality, ethics and state, but all contributing together towards achieving a whole. Also, it has adopted the instrumentalist approach which sought for a causal relationship between complex social phenomena and corruption. Findings from the study revealed the attempts made at separating religion from morality, personal and social morality, state functions and ecclesial missions as false dichotomy. Religion remains the source of morality. Church role appeared passive and inadequate considering public expectations and demands for a fall in the rate of corruption in the country. The Church does not fight corruption with carnal weapons instead it engagaes members in a spiritual warfare; while exercising patience with corrupt persons, desiring to see them return to God. The church in its attempt to meet public expectations appears hypocritical: speaking against corrupt practices perpetrated by public officials in Nigeria without first fighting against the corruption within. This study argued that both the Church and theState must fight corruption through moral re-injection and moral regeneration. The role of the Church in fighting corruption in Nigeria wiil be effective when it start the fight from within as things are so twisted in Nigeria; teaching members how to be simple and straight forward in the way they do things with others.

Published: March 2022

The main purpose of this study was to seek for a more viable strategy in dealing with the perennial problems of poverty and underdevelopment in the rural areas of Bayelsa State , and worsened by the nature of politics and governance that undermine the values of democratic development by the political elite. Indeed, the principles of democracy such as economic freedom, political participation, competition, mass mobilization, rule of law etc. that would have promoted rural development have been sacrificed for personal interest as against public interest. The Marxian political economy theory was adopted in explaining the dynamics of production, distribution and exchange relations.

The study adopted descriptive survey reliant on the qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. Data analysis was based on the statistical method using the simply percentages and frequency distribution. The study revealed that government support to community self-help projects was not adequate. Also, official development policies have tended to urban biased thereby laying bare the necessary amenities and facilities to raise their socio-economic wellbeingof the area The study advocates the introduction of economic empowerment policies, programmes and legislations that would promote participatory rural development culture aimed at making the rural populace more productive and self-reliant.
