Authors: Gupta Priya , Maurya Savita , Pandey Narendra K. , Verma Vernica
Published: July 2020

This review paper encompasses a study of metal-oxide and their composite based gas
sensors used for the detection of ammonia (NH3) gas. Metal-oxide has come into view as an encouraging
choice in the gas sensor industry. This review paper focuses on the ammonia sensing
principle of the metal oxides. It also includes various approaches adopted for increasing the gas sensitivity
of metal-oxide sensors. Increasing the sensitivity of the ammonia gas sensor includes size effects
and doping by metal or other metal oxides, which will change the microstructure and morphology
of the metal oxides. Different parameters that affect the performances like sensitivity, stability and
selectivity of gas sensors are discussed in this paper. Performances of the most operated metal oxides
with strengths and limitations in ammonia gas sensing applications are reviewed. The challenges for
the development of high sensitive and selective ammonia gas sensors are also discussed.

Regional Infoveillance of COVID-19 Case Rates: Analysis of Search-Engine Query Patterns
Authors: Cousins Henry C , Cousins Clara C , Harris Alon , Pasquale Louis R
Published: July 2020

Background

Timely allocation of medical resources for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) requires early detection of regional outbreaks. Internet browsing data may predict case outbreaks in local populations that are yet to be confirmed.

Objective

We investigated whether search-engine query patterns can help to predict COVID-19 case rates at the state and metropolitan area levels in the United States.

Methods

We used regional confirmed case data from the New York Times and Google Trends results from 50 states and 166 county-based designated market areas (DMA). We identified search terms whose activity precedes and correlates with confirmed case rates at the national level. We used univariate regression to construct a composite explanatory variable based on best-fitting search queries offset by temporal lags. We measured the raw and z-transformed Pearson correlation and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the explanatory variable with out-of-sample case rate data at the state and DMA levels.

Results

Predictions were highly correlated with confirmed case rates at the state (mean r=0.69, 95% CI 0.51-0.81; median RMSE 1.27, IQR 1.48) and DMA levels (mean r=0.51, 95% CI 0.39-0.61; median RMSE 4.38, IQR 1.80), using search data available up to 10 days prior to confirmed case rates. They fit case-rate activity in 49 of 50 states and in 103 of 166 DMA at a significance level of .05.

Conclusions

Identifiable patterns in search query activity may help to predict emerging regional outbreaks of COVID-19, although they remain vulnerable to stochastic changes in search intensity.
Understanding the Extent of Adolescents’ Willingness to Engage With Food and Beverage Companies’ Instagram Accounts: Experimental Survey Study
Authors: Lutfeali Samina , Ward Tisheya , Greene Tenay , Arshonsky Josh , Seixas Azizi , Dalton Madeline , Bragg Marie A
Published: July 2020

Background

Social media platforms have created a new advertising frontier, yet little is known about the extent to which this interactive form of advertising shapes adolescents’ online relationships with unhealthy food brands.

Objective

We aimed to understand the extent to which adolescents’ preferences for Instagram food ads are shaped by the presence of comments and varying numbers of “likes.” We hypothesized that adolescents would show the highest preferences for ads with more “likes” and comments. We predicted that these differences would be greater among adolescents who were “heavy social media users” (ie, >3 hours daily) vs “light social media users” (ie, <3 hours daily).

Methods

We recruited Black and non-Latinx White adolescents (aged 13-17 years; N=832) from Dynata, a firm that maintains online participant panels. Participants completed an online survey in which they were randomized to view and rate Instagram food ads that either did or did not show comments. Within each condition, adolescents were randomized to view 4 images that had high (>10,000), medium (1000-10,000), or low (<100) numbers of “likes.” Adolescents reported ad preferences and willingness to engage with the brand.

Results

Adolescents rated ads with medium or high numbers of “likes” higher than ads with few “likes” (P=.001 and P=.002, respectively). Heavy social media users (>3 hours/day) were 6.366 times more willing to comment on ads compared to light users (P<.001).

Conclusions

Adolescents interact with brands in ways that mimic interactions with friends on social media, which is concerning when brands promote unhealthy products. Adolescents also preferred ads with many “likes,” demonstrating the power of social norms in shaping behavior. As proposed in 2019, the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act should expand online advertising restrictions to include adolescents aged 12 to 16 years.
Understanding the CoVID-19 pandemic Curve through statistical approach (Preprint)
Authors: Akhtar Ibrar Ul Hassan
Published: July 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

Current research is an attempt to understand the CoVID-19 pandemic curve through statistical approach of probability density function with associated skewness and kurtosis measures, change point detection and polynomial fitting to estimate infected population along with 30 days projection. The pandemic curve has been explored for above average affected countries, six regions and global scale during 64 days of 22nd January to 24th March, 2020. The global cases infection as well as recovery rate curves remained in the ranged of 0 ‒ 9.89 and 0 ‒ 8.89%, respectively. The confirmed cases probability density curve is high positive skewed and leptokurtic with mean global infected daily population of 6620. The recovered cases showed bimodal positive skewed curve of leptokurtic type with daily recovery of 1708. The change point detection helped to understand the CoVID-19 curve in term of sudden change in term of mean or mean with variance. This pointed out disease curve is consist of three phases and last segment that varies in term of day lengths. The mean with variance based change detection is better in differentiating phases and associated segment length as compared to mean. Global infected population might rise in the range of 0.750 to 4.680 million by 24th April 2020, depending upon the pandemic curve progress beyond 24th March, 2020. Expected most affected countries will be USA, Italy, China, Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Iran and UK with at least infected population of over 0.100 million. Infected population polynomial projection errors remained in the range of -78.8 to 49.0%.
Body mass index in patients hospitalized with COVID-19: associated factors, missing data, and imputation (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Jason J. , McGinn Thomas
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

BMI (through obesity and underweight) is associated with adverse clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE

To explore the missing data mechanism of BMI of COVID-19 patients and to determine the optimal approach to impute the missing BMI data.

METHODS

In this cohort study of a big health system with consecutive COVID-19 inpatients from March 1 to May 15, 2020, we first compared the missing BMI patients with the non-missing BMI ones to check the missing data mechanism. We then pulled historical BMI data to impute part of the missing BMI data and used the non-missing data to build linear predictive models for BMI and imputed the remaining missing data. We then split the non-missing data into various patterns to validate the models.

RESULTS

Of the 10,861 patients with COVID-19 included in this study, 2,315(21.3%) were missing BMI. These patients have a higher tendency to be older, female, white race, with higher proportion of comorbidities, and higher in-hospital mortality (29.6% vs 22.4%). Of the 2,315 (21.3%) patients with missing BMI, we pulled historical EHR BMI data to impute the missing values. For the remaining 1,241(11.4%) cases, we built predictive models to impute these missing values. We then used the 8,546 non-missing cases, randomly split them into two groups for model training and validation.

CONCLUSIONS

Since the missing BMI group is a special group of patients associated with more severe outcomes, conventional methods such as CCA, MI, and missing indicator may not be optimal strategies for missing data imputation. Using historical data with additional model predictions is one useful method to impute the missing BMI cases.

The quality of care can be influenced by the quality of nurses' work-life which describes the satisfaction of nurses at the workplace. Therefore, this study was aimed to analyze the relationship between the quality of nurses' work-life and the quality of care for patients in the inpatient ward at regional hospitals in Jember Regency. A cross-sectional approach used among 53 nurses as a total sampling and 53 clients in the inpatient ward were chosen by purposive sampling. Data collection was done by filling out questionnaires on the quality of nurses' work-life and the quality of care for clients. The findings showed that the quality of nurses' work-life was good (49%) and the quality of care was good (49%). The analysis result by using Chi-square showed that there was a relationship between the quality of nurses' work-life and quality of care (p value=0.009,a=0.05). Research has found that poor nursing care quality is caused by the low quality of work-life. Nurses who had a good quality of nursing work-life would give good quality of care and otherwise. Therefore, planning strategies to create comfort workplace with improving each dimension of the quality of nurses' work-life is important to improve the quality of care.

Failure of therapy is a result of bad adherence  medication. Non-adherence to therapy is a major factor that is suspected to result in uncontrolled blood pressure in hypertensive patients resulting in more serious complications. Therefore it is important to increase the adherence rate of treatment in patients with hypertension in the treatment process. For this reason, the need for interventions to improve  adherence  with several aspects that can be changed. This study uses One Group Pretest-Posttest Design using 100 samples. Data derived from questionnaires containing 25 items of adherence to therapy, 5 items of knowledge, 4 items of trust, 3 items of motivation, 10 items of family support with nonparametric statistical tests used were Mc Nemar test. Mc Nemar test results indicate that there is a significant difference between adherence at the pre-test and at the post-test after counseling with a significance value (p = 0,000). The results also showed that there was a difference in knowledge with a significance value (p = 0.001), motivation with a value (p = 0.031) and family support with a value (p = 0,000). The education with counseling about knowledge, trust, motivation and family support is effective in increasing compliance. There are other changeable factors such as lifestyle education, patient doctor relationships, and the use of smartphone applications for self-reported therapy can improve adherence in patients thereby minimizing therapy failure. Other educational methods that can be used besides counseling are counseling and dissemination of social media information.

Abstract: This article aims to look at the extent to which Government efforts the city of Banda Aceh and Aceh Barat in realizing the concept of the Kota Madani and Tauhid Tasawuf through the implementation of Sharia and sought to unearth how should model its development. Using ethnographic approaches, I would like to point out that the implementation of Sharia in the two cities is very dependent on Government support or political regime. Such dependence is visible from the Government's efforts through the decisions, policies and programs are carried out holistically by bureaucratic system involving public figures, scholars, academics and the general public.

Abstrak: Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk melihat sejauh mana usaha pemerintah Kota Banda Aceh dan Aceh Barat dalam mewujudkan konsepsi Kota Madani dan Tauhid-Tasawuf melalui implementasi Syariat Islam serta berusaha menggali bagaimana seharusnya model pengembangannya. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan etnografi, saya ingin menunjukkan bahwa implementasi syariat Islamdi dua kota tersebut sangat tergantung pada dukungan pemerintah atau rezim politik. Ketergantungan tersebut terlihat dari upaya pemerintah melalui keputusan, kebijakan dan program yang dilaksanakan secara holistik oleh sistem birokrasi yang melibatkan tokoh masyarakat, ulama, akademisi dan masyarakat umum.

Published: July 2020

Abstract: Wahabi is one of a movement group in Islam. The group is famous for its agenda of Islam and Tawheed purification of superstition, bida'ah and khurafat. This article discusses the view of Teungku Seumeubeut against Wahabi suspected of starting and growing in Aceh. Teungku Seumeubeut is an elite level of religion in the village which has a great influence on the community level. The author argues that the view Teungku Semuenebuet against Wahabi strongly depends on the depth of the study, a pattern of academic influence of clients and patrons politicization of religion in the public sphere. This article concludes that Teungku Seumeubeut do simplification against Wahabi due to the knowledge and the experience of interacting with Wahabi is very limited.

Abstrak: Wahabi merupakan salah satu kelompok gerakan dalam Islam.Kelompok ini terkenal dengan agenda pemurnian Tauhid dan ajaran Islam dari praktek takhayul, bidaâ€™ah dan khurafat.Artikel ini membahas tentang pandangan Teungku Seumeubeut terhadap Wahabi yang dicurigai mulai masuk dan berkembang di Aceh.Teungku Seumeubeut adalah elit agama di tingkat desa yang memiliki pengaruh besar di masyarakat level bawah.Penulis berpendapat bahwa pandangan Teungku Seumeubuet terhadap Wahabi sangat tergantung pada kedalaman kajian, pola keilmuan patron klien dan pengaruh politisasi agama dalam ruang publik.Artikel ini berkesimpulan bahwa Teungku Seumeubeut melakukan simplifikasi terhadap Wahabi dikarenakan pengetahuan dan pengalamannya berinteraksi dengan Wahabi sangat terbatas.
Melihat Adat sebagai Mekanisme Perlindungan terhadap Perempuan dan Anak
Authors: Arfiansyah Arfiansyah
Published: July 2020

This article aims to explore the role of adat in solving women's and children's issues. During this time, Adat often viewed as a source of doom for women and children. Indigenous peoples who are influenced by the interpretation of Islamic teachings that misogamist often positions women and children under the control of male power. The article seeks to find answers on whether Adat can contribute otherwise, improve the state of women and Adat? By observing ethnographic Adat developments in central Aceh District and Bener Meriah, this article offers the opposite view. That as part of solving women's and children's issues, Adat should not be taken captive but should be approached, influenced, and used to improve the state of women and children.  Abstrak: Artikel ini berupaya mengekplorasi tentang peran adat dalam penyelesaian masalah perempuan dan anak. Selama ini adat sering sekali dipandang sebagai sumber malapetaka bagi perempuan dan anak. Adat yang patriakis dan dipengaruhi oleh penafsiran ajaran Islam yang misogamist kerap memposisikan perempuan dan anak di bawah control kuasa laki-laki. Artikel berusaha mencari jawaban apakah adat dapat berkontribusi sebaliknya, memperbaiki keadaan perempuan dan adat?

Conflicts between religions, intolerance and violence in the name of religion is on the rise in the recent years. Attitudes such as mutual suspicion, disrespect for each other, and disharmony of life have become a reality of life among religious communities. Without tolerance, harmony between religions will be difficult to realize, because tolerance is inevitable for religious communities. Tolerance is also part of the theology vision or Islamic Aqeeda as taught in the Quran. Therefore, in depth study on tolerance may help the stakeholders in their effort to minimize religious conflict and establish harmony among the religious believers.Abstrak: Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir ini sangat banyak muncul konflik antar agama, intoleransi dan kekerasan atas nama agama. Adanya sikap seperti saling mencurigai, tidak menghargai satu sama lain, dan ketidakharmonisan hidup telah menjadi sebuah realitas kehidupan antar umat beragama. Tanpa adanya toleransi, kerukunan hidup antar umat beragama akan sulit terwujud, karena toleransi merupakan suatu keniscayaan bagi umat beragama. Toleransi juga merupakan bagian dari visi teologi atau akidah Islam sebagaimana yang ajarkan di dalam Alqur’an. Olehkarenanya, kajian terhadap toleransi perlu dikaji secara mendalam sebagai upaya untuk meminimalisir konflik keagamaan dan terciptanya kerukunan hidup antarumat beragama.
Epistemologi Tafsir: Mengurai Relasi Filsafat dengan Al-Qur’an
Authors: Alwi HS Muhammad
Published: July 2020

The Quran interpretation is always developing and shifting, from tafsir bil riwayat to the tafsir bil ra'yu. This shift and development cannot be separated from the search for meaning that the readers of the text (Quran) do which later gave birth to the interpretation epistemology. The birth of this interpretation epistemology results from human (reader - creatures of thought) interaction with the Qur'an. This paper aims to discuss the relation between philosophy and the Quran in constructing the epistemological discourse of interpretation as an important discourse in the development of interpretation. This paper seeks to find the answer to how the epistemology of interpretation occurred. To answer this question, this paper will describe and analyse the potential of human thinking and the Quran in the form of a text (mushaf). This paper departs from the assumption that philosophy as the product of thought becomes a distinct path for humans to communicate the silent texts with changing contexts. From the analysis of various explanations, this paper finally concludes that there are several aspects that led to the birth of the epistemology of interpretation. The Quran as kalamullah is sacred and transmitted from oral to written, so that it is open to public and free to be interpreted. In addition, background influence such as pre-understanding of the interpreter, methods and approaches used in the interpretation of the Quran contributes to the birth of the interpretation epistemology.Abstrak:Fenomena penafsiran al-Qur’an senantiasa mengalami perkembangan dan pergeseran sekaligus, dari tafsir bil riwayat menjadi tafsir bil ra’yu, dan seterusnya. Fenomena pergeseran dan perkembangan tafsir ini tidak bisa dilepaskan dari pencarian makna yang dilakukan oleh pembaca teks (al-Qur’an), yang kemudian melahirkan epistemologi tafsir. Kelahiran epistemologi tafsir ini tercipta dari manusia (reader –makhluk berfikir) dengan al-Qur’an. Tulisan ini hendak mendiskusikan relasi filsafat dengan alQur’an dalam memunculkan wacana epistemologi tafsir sebagai wacana penting dalam pengembangan dunia penafsiran. Pertanyaan yang hendak dijawab dalam tulisan ini adalah bagaimana epistemologi tafsir itu terjadi? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini, tulisan ini akan mendiskripsikan sekaligus menganalisis potensi berfikir manusia, serta al-Qur’an dalam bentuk teks (mushaf). Tulisan ini berangkat dari asumsi bahwa filsafat sebagai kerja berfikir menjadi jalan tersendiri bagi manusia dalam mendialogkan teks yang diam, dengan konteks yang berubah-ubah. Dari berbagai penjelasan, akhirnya tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa ada beberapa aspek yang menyebabkan lahirnya epistemologi tafsir, yakni al-Qur’an sebagai Kalamullah yang disakralkan bertransmisi dari lisan ke tulisan, sehingga bersifat open publik—bebas ditafsirkan. Selain itu, pengaruh latar belakang (pra-pemahaman) penafsir, metode, serta pendekatan yang digunakan penafsiran al-Qur’an, semua aspek ini melahirkan epistemologi tafsir.

Published: July 2020

Today, very few educators adopt and apply educational methods as mentioned in the Quran. They seem to appreciate Western education theory more. Lack of understanding of the Quran is believed to contribute to this shift. The Quran offer many concepts related to education such as methods, techniques, strategies, and other aspects of teaching and learning that are crucial in instilling religious values to the youth. This qualitative study seeks to explore aspects of education especially those mentioned in the Surah Al-Ahzab verse 21 and how educators can apply values in their teaching to the youth. The findings show that the Surah Al-Ahzab:21 talks about one of the educational aspects referred to as uswatun hasanah, aspects of role models practiced by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. This includes honesty, trustworthy, wise and smart, and conveying which everybody needs to implement in all aspects of their daily life.Abstrak: Dewasa ini para pendidik sedikit sekali mengadopsi dan menerapkan metode pendidikan seperti yang disebutkan dalam Al-Quran. Mereka tampaknya lebih menghargai teori pendidikan Barat. Hal ini diyakini sebagai akibat kurangnya pemahaman atas Al-Quran  Faktanya, kita dapat menemukan banyak hal yang berkaitan dengan pendidikan dalam AlQuran yang mencakup metode, teknik, strategi, dan aspek pengajaran dan pembelajaran lainnya yang penting dalam proses mendidik generasi muda yang religius. Penelitian kualitatif ini berusaha menggali aspek pendidikan terutama yang disebutkan dalam AlQur'an Surat Al-Ahzab ayat 21 dan bagaimana pendidik dapat menerapkan nilai-nilai dalam pengajaran mereka tentang generasi muda. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat aspek pendidikan yang terkandung dalam Surah Al-Ahzab ayat 21 yang dikenal sebagai 'uswatun hasanah' atau aspek model peran seperti yang dipraktikkan oleh Nabi Muhammad saw. Ini mencakup pemodelan sikap' (jujur), 'amanah' (dapat dipercaya), sikap 'fathanah' (menjadi bijaksana dan pintar), dan sikap 'tabligh' (menjadi komunikatif) yang perlu diimplementasikan dalam semua aspek kehidupan sehari-hari seseorang.
Moderasi Berpikir untuk Menempati Tingkatan Spiritual Tertinggi dalam Beragama
Authors: Jumala Nirwani
Published: July 2020

The development of spiritual character is an appropriate step to realize moderation in religion. Spiritual character holds the value of self-awareness about human origin, purpose and destiny while religion is a testimony of faith that people accept as the absolute truth of life upon living on earth. Spirituality provides answers to who we are and how we exist and are aware of our existence, while religion provides answers to what we must reflect in our behavior and actions. Every religion presents a path to spiritual. Following the same religion, doesn't necessarily guarantee that they would have the same path or spiritual level. In fact, they can have a different spiritual value in their religious paths. Religion is not the same as spirituality, but it is a form of spirituality that lives in human's personal and communal civilizations. A Muslim can occupy seven levels of human spirituality from selfish to holiness according to Allah's command. This level consists of nafsu al-amᾱrah, nafsu al-lawwᾱmah, nafsu al-mulhimma, nafsu al-muṭma’innah, nafsu ar-raḍiyah, nafsu al-marḍiah dan nafsu as-safῑyah
