Zakat Tanaman Menurut Ulama Dayah Aceh Perspektif Maqasid al-Syari'ah
Authors: Alimuddin Alimuddin , Desky Harjoni
Published: January 2019

This study examines the reasons for Achehness Ulama of Dayah regarding plants and seeds that are subject to zakat. How the logic of thinking used by these ulama and their relationship with maqÄá¹£id al-syarÄ«â€˜ah (syariah legal purposes). This research focuses on the legal substance of zakat as intended by the Qurâ€™an and Hadith, then it is analyzed from the side of maqÄá¹£id al-syarÄ«â€˜ah. The results of this study indicate that Acehnese Ulama argues that zakat of plants is only rice or a kind of staple food, on the grounds that it is a staple food of a countryâ€™s population, which has filling properties and can be stored and lasted. Other plants such as oil palm, cocoa, coffee, even though they are productive they are not zakatable wealth, because they do not meet these criteria. The legal reasoning of the Acehness Ulama uses the deductive method with the bayani (language) approach. On the other hand, the Acehness Ulama does not deny that the search for maqÄá¹£id al-syarÄ«â€˜ah can be done through in-depth study, but it is not yet certain that the obligations of zakat on productive plants can be formulated through this approach, so they reject it. According to them, the command of zakat can only be understood from the side of taâ€˜abbudÄ« (worship approach), not through taâ€˜aqqulÄ« (resourceful approach).
Menggagas Hak Kekayaan Intelektual Perspektif Hukum Islam ke dalam Hukum Nasional
Authors: Triana Nita
Published: January 2019

This study aims to describe and analyze Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) under the rules of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) which are in several respects different from the laws that live in Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to initiate Intellectual Property Rights Law that is in accordance with the values that live in Indonesia, the majority of which are Muslim communities. The results of this study illustrate that the legal protection of the owners of InÂ­tellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Indonesia has been regulated in various laws and regulations that are included in the Intellectual Property Rights Law system. These regulations must refer strictly to the TRIPs Agreement. The Intellectual Property Rights regime with the rules of TRIPs has two sides in the protection of intellectual property rights, on the one hand it protects individual interests from piracy and theft of intellectual property, but on the other hand empirically this leÂ­gal protection greatly benefits developed countries. Based on this, the Intellectual Property Rights Law must  be rebuilt with the source of material law originating from values that live in Indonesian society, namely Islamic law.

Fines are sanctions or punishments that are applied in the form of the obligation to pay a sum of money imposed on the denial of a number of agreements previously agreed upon. There is debate over the status of fines in Islamic law. Some argue that fines may not be used, and some argue that they may be used. In the context of fines for delays in payment of taxes, in fiqh law it can be analogous to ta'zir bi al-tamlÄ«k (punishment for ownership). This can be justified if the tax obligations have met the requirements. Whereas according to Islamic teachings, fines can be categorized as acts in order to obey government orders as taught in the hadith, and in order to contribute to the realization of mutual benefit in the life of the state. As for the amount of the fine, the government cannot arbitrarily determine fines that are too large to burden the people. Penalties are applied as a message of reprimand and as a means to cover the lack of the state budget.

New species of osmundaceous fertile leaves from the upper Triassic of Argentina
Authors: Coturel Eliana P. , Bodnar Josefina , Morel Eduardo M. , Ganuza Daniel G. , Sagasti Ana J. , Beltrán Marisol
Published: January 2019

A new species of Osmundopsis Harris is described based on several impression-compression fossils from the upper section of the Potrerillos Formation (Uspallata Group) at Cerro Cacheuta Hill, Mendoza Province, Argentina. Osmundopsis zunigai sp. nov. is characterized by having fertile pinnae with a slender striate rachis, bearing widely separate, opposite to subopposite short falcate pinnules with an entire margin, rounded apex, and a partially reduced lamina. The pinnules bear sporangia loosely disposed in clusters of four or five on the abaxial side. The sporangia are wedge- to heart-shaped, shortly stalked, with cells of the apical region thickened, and have a vertical dehiscence slit. The spores are trilete and laevigate. This is the first record of Osmundopsis in the Triassic of Argentina. The mutual occurrence or co-preservation of Osmundopsis zunigai sp. nov. with sterile fronds of Cladophlebis kurtzi suggests the possibility that these species formed part of a dimorphic bipinnate frond. The diversity and geographic extent of fertile leaves of the Osmunda lineage in the early Late Triassic, with records in South Africa and Antarctica and now with this new taxon, support the idea of a moist mesothermal climatic belt in southern Gondwana.
Antihelminic Activity of Carvacrol, Thymol, Cinnamaldehyde and P-Cymen Against the Free-Living Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and Rat Pinworm Syphacia muris

Published: January 2019

In the present study we tested the dose andh time dependence of the antinematodal effects of carvacrol and tyhmol on Caenorabditis elegans, and the efficacy of carvacrol, thymol, p-cymene and cinnamaldehyde,which were administrated in the drinking water of rats naturally infected with the pinworm Syphacia muris. The control treatment of the infected rats was carried out with piperazine. Thymol caused a dose and time-dependent mortality in adult C. elegans. The value of the Median Lethal Concentration (LC50) of thymol was 117.9nM after 24h and 62.89 nM after 48h of exposure. Carvacrol exhibited a higher antinematodal efficiency than thymol. The LC50 of carvacrol, after 24 hours of exposure, was 53.03 nM, while after 48 hours it was 33.83 nM. On the other hand, piperazine showed an extremely high efficacy against S. muris infection in rats. Piperazine, at a dose of 625 mg/kg bw, administered in drinking water continuously for 10 days, eliminates the infection completely. However, none of the investigated active ingredients of essential oils were effective against S. muris. The reason for the lack of efficiency may be due to their pharmacokinetic properties. A relatively low amount of, orally administered, active ingredients of essential oils reaches the distal segments of the gastrointestinal tract, where S. muris inhabits the gut (colon and cecum). The obtained results, on C. elegans, indicate a clear dose and time-dependent antinematodal effect of thymol and carvacrol. However, for clinical application, it is necessary to examine the efficacy of microencapsulated formulations with a controlled release of active ingredients of essential oils in certain parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

Authors: Yoncheva Tatyana , Gülcü Mehmet , Kóňová Elka
Published: January 2019

A comparative study of the phenolic complex, the resveratrol content, the antioxidant activity and the organoleptic profile of Bulgarian wines from the local vine varieties Dimyat, Pamid, Gamza and from the hybrid varieties Plevenska rosa, Storgozia, Kaylashki rubin was carried out. Differences in the chemical composition and tasting characteristics of the experimental wines were identified. As for the white wines, Dimyat had higher sugar-free extract and titratable acidity, while concerning the red ones, Storgozia and Kaylashki rubin showed higher rates. The trans-resveratrol amount in the red wines was significantly higher compared to the white ones, as the samples from the red local varieties had a higher content than the hybrid varieties. Difference in the phenolic composition of the wines was also found. Gamza wine had the highest concentration of total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and catechin. Storgozia sample contained the highest rates of monomeric anthocyanins and epicatechin. Pamid revealed the lowest concentrations of all analyzed phenolic components except catechin. The red wines had better antioxidant features than the white ones. From the red wines, the highest and the lowest activity were reported in the local varieties – Gamza and Pamid, respectively. There was no strict correlation between the effects of the studied phenolic components on the wine organoleptic profile.

Authors: Armean Iulia , Pop Raluca , Gherlan Iuliana , Pașcanu Ionela
Published: January 2019

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the performance of 2 stimulation tests used in the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency.

Method: A retrospective study was conducted on a non-random sample of 310 patients, between 2 and 20 years old, who were hospitalized in the Mureș County Hospital’s Endocrinology Department and in the National Institute of Endocrinology C.I. Parhon with short stature between 2009-2015. Inclusion criteria: all subjects who underwent growth hormone stimulation tests in accordance with the national protocol. Microsoft Office Excel was used for data collection and MedCalc v 12.5 was used for statistical analysis.

Results: From the total of 310 patients, 102 were diagnosed in Târgu Mureș and 208 in Bucharest. Sex ratio favored boys (boys:girls 1.64:1). In 173 subjects growth hormone deficiency was confirmed. For both tests the percentage of maximum response was the highest for the 60 minutes blood sample regardless if the test were positive or not. Both tests have 100% sensitivity and negative predictive value, with the highest specificity for the 60 minutes clonidine and 30 minutes insulin. The false positive rate was 60% for the insulin test and 27.2% for clonidine for Târgu Mureș sample and 86.9% for the insulin test and 62.5% for clonidine for Bucharest sample. The concordance of the 2 tests was 49.36%.

Conclusions: Stimulating growth hormone testing has a number of limitations but is still needed in some auxological circumstances. We recommend performing the clonidine test first to exclude idiopathic short stature and then the insulin tolerance test for the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency.
Brain death as irreversible loss of a human’s moral status
Authors: Nowak Piotr Grzegorz
Published: January 2019

Singer claims that there are two ways of challenging the fact that brain-dead patients, from whom organs are usually retrieved, are in fact biologically alive. By means of the first, the so called dead donor rule may be abandoned, opening the way to lethal organ donation. In the second, it might be posited that terms such as “life” and “death” do not have any primary biological meaning and are applicable to persons instead of organisms. This second possibility permits one to acknowledge that brain-dead patients are deceased because they are irreversibly unconscious. In the commentary which follows, I will argue that Singer’s second option is preferable since it (a) provides a higher amount of organs available for transplant, and (b) is better suited to the meaning of “death” which occurs in ordinary language. I will also defend such a concept of death against the objections raised by Michael Nair-Collins in the article Can the brain-dead be harmed or wronged? On the moral status of brain death and its implications for organ transplantation.
Is Central Banks’ Effectiveness Related to their Transparency? A Case of European Economies
Authors: Szyszko Magdalena , Próchniak Mariusz
Published: January 2019

This article presents a novel transparency measure and examines forward-looking transparency of six European central banks. It aims at evaluating whether the higher degree of transparency is related to better economic stabilization expressed in terms of output and inflation gap minimization. The methods used are based on data and a statistical analysis. To extract the cyclical component of time series, the Hodrick-Prescott filter is employed. The research covers the Czech National Bank, the National Bank of Hungary, the National Bank of Poland, the National Bank of Romania, the Bank of England, and the Sveriges Riksbank during 1997–2016. Firstly, we develop an index of forward-looking transparency that focuses on signalling intentions by the central banks. It is one of the main contributions of our article. Secondly, we compare transparency in the field of signaling intentions within our sample, which is another aspect of originality of this study. The results indicate that the Czech National Bank and the central banks of developed economies outperform the other central banks from our sample in terms of openness. Finally, under some caveats, we relate the degree of transparency to the levels and volatility of output and inflation gaps. We find the existence of the relationship between the central banks’ transparency and their effectiveness mainly for Czech Republic and the UK, but also, although to a lesser extent, for Poland and Romania.
Mining Automatically Estimated Poses from Video Recordings of Top Athletes
Authors: Lienhart R. , Einfalt M. , Zecha D.
Published: January 2019

Human pose detection systems based on state-of-the-art DNNs are about to be extended, adapted and re-trained to fit the application domain of specific sports. Therefore, plenty of noisy pose data will soon be available from videos recorded at a regular and frequent basis. This work is among the first to develop mining algorithms that can mine the expected abundance of noisy and annotation-free pose data from video recordings in individual sports. Using swimming as an example of a sport with dominant cyclic motion, we show how to determine unsupervised time-continuous cycle speeds and temporally striking poses as well as measure unsupervised cycle stability over time. The average error in cycle length estimation across all strokes is 0.43 frames at 50 fps compared to manual annotations. Additionally, we use long jump as an example of a sport with a rigid phase-based motion to present a technique to automatically partition the temporally estimated pose sequences into their respective phases with a mAP of 0.89. This enables the extraction of performance relevant, pose-based metrics currently used by national professional sports associations. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of our mining algorithms, which can also be applied to other cycle-based or phase-based types of sport.
Geometric simplification of a new penalty area for football
Authors: Morales C. A.
Published: January 2019

A geometric simplification of a recent proposal for a new geometry of the penalty area for football (soccer) is presented. A simplified line is necessary because the fully mathematical curve previously proposed can be difficult to implement in the real world of football, which has thousands of tournaments at all –economic and generational–levels of the sport. The idea behind the proposal is that the game and its fairness can be improved if the penalty area is drawn according to mathematics or a measure of actual scoring chance.
Formation-based modelling and simulation of success in soccer
Authors: Perl J.
Published: January 2019

The players’ positions of tactical groups in soccer can be mapped to formation-patterns by means of artificial neural networks (Kohonen, 1995). This way, the hundreds of positional situations of one half of a match can be reduced to about 20 to 30 types of formations (Grunz, Perl & Memmert, 2012; Perl, 2015), the coincidences of which can be used for describing and simulating tactical processes of the teams (Memmert, Lemmink & Sampaio, 2017): Developing and changing formations in the interaction with the opponent activities can be understood as a tactical game in the success context of ball control, space control and finally generating dangerous situations. As such it can be simulated using mathematical approaches like Monte Carlo-simulation and game theory in order to generate optimal strategic patterns. However, in accordance with results from game theory it turns out that in most cases the one optimal strategy does not exist (e.g. see Durlauf & Blume, 2010). Instead, a variety of partial strategies with different frequencies were necessary – an approach that is mathematically interesting but has nothing to do with soccer reality. An alternative approach, which is developed in the following, is to interrupt the strictness of a single strategic concept by creative elements, which improves flexible response to opponent activities as well as prevents from being analyzed by the opponent team.

The results of respective simulation reach from improving strategic behaviour to recognizing strategic patterns and in particular to analyzing role and meaning of creative elements.
Prediction of anisotropic properties of grain-oriented steels based on magnetic measurements
Authors: Zurek Stan , Borowik Piotr , Chwastek Krzysztof
Published: January 2019

Magnetic properties of grain-oriented steels are inseparably linked to their anisotropy. A proper characterization of anisotropy is thus crucial for practical applications. In the paper a description based on magnetic measurements carried out for three well-defined cutting angles is presented. It is shown that it is possible to predict magnetic properties of interest (coercive field strength, remanence flux density) for an arbitrary angle using a limited number of measurements.
Influence of Cracking on Effects of Restrained Deformations in a Post-tensioned Concrete Bridge
Authors: Jalonen Kimmo , Tulonen Joonas , Laaksonen Anssi
Published: January 2019

Imposed and restrained deformations cause stresses in continuous concrete bridges, and in analyses of the superstructure these stresses are usually reduced to some degree due to creep and cracking of concrete. This study examines cracking and redistribution of stresses in a bridge superstructure under the loads and load combinations used in the original bridge design. The subject of this study is a three-span post-tensioned continuous concrete cantilever beam bridge. The bridge was analysed with non-linear calculation utilising the general force method and moment-curvature relationships. The analysis yielded the bending stiffness of the post-tensioned bridge superstructure as a function of bridge length under different loads. It was discovered that the secondary moment from prestressing force increased as the bending stiffness of the central span decreased due to cracking under external loads, which is not normally considered in design. The bending moment effects of linear temperature difference and support settlement decreased as expected as the superstructure bending stiffness decreased. The analysis provided new information on the effects of secondary moment from the prestressing force and on the difference between the cracked state and the linear elastic analysis of the concrete bridge superstructure.

Authors: Revert Andres Belda , De Weerdt Klaartje , Jakobsen Ulla Hjorth , Geiker Mette Rica
Published: January 2019

The paper summarizes preliminary results on characterization of the microstructure and phase assemblage of mortar and concrete samples containing Portland and Portland-fly ash cement carbonated at either natural conditions, 60% RH and 1% CO2, 90% RH and 5% CO2 or 60% RH and 100% CO2. Different characterization techniques were used: thermogravimetric analysis to study the solid phases, SEM-EDS point analysis to investigate the chemical composition of the solid phases, optical microscopy to investigate the microstructure, and cold water extraction to characterize the chemical composition of the pore solution. The combined results on microstructure and phase assemblage indicate that carbonation up to 5% CO2 appears representative for natural carbonation. Pore solution analysis revealed similar trends for the three accelerated carbonation conditions.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through into Import Prices of Croatia

Published: January 2019

The main goal of this paper is to examine the influence of macro factors and the degree of the exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) on aggregate and disaggregate import prices of the industrial sectors in the short- and long-run. The study is based on a model used by Campa and Goldberg (2002) and Campa et al. (2005). The ERPT is determined by applying the single equation and the cointegration approach (autoregressive distributed lag model [ARDL]), vector decomposition, and data over the period from 2002Q1 to 2016Q4. In the long-run, the ERPT is complete for the aggregate import and for the industrial sector beverages and tobacco. In the short-run, the ERPT is incomplete for the aggregate import and for majority of industrial sectors. Further, we have discovered that the degree of the ERPT is higher with heterogeneous products than with homogeneous products. Due to the inaccessibility of data for micro factors, we were not able to determine their effect on import prices. The results of our research can help economic policymakers to create adequate measures in the field of economic policies that will improve the competitiveness of the economy. Finally, this paper identified the effect of the volatility degree of the ERPT on the disaggregate import prices of industrial sectors that has not been sufficiently explored so far.

Published: January 2019

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory arthritis characterized by synovial tissue inflammation that leads to structural damage and disability. There are several treatment options available, which include glucocorticoids, DMARDs and biologics given alone as monotherapy or in a variety of combinations. Recent evidence has shown that early treatment is important in reducing the rate of progression of erosions and decreasing disability. The lack of adequate statistical data on number of patients that are eligible for first-line therapy/monotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis in Macedonia, triggered this epidemiological analyse describing eligible patients for first-line treatment/monotherapy distributed by gender, age and geographical allocation. The study was conducted by fulfilling a tailored questionnaire every two months in a period of six months (September 2017-February 2018) by including summarized data not related to personal data of patients nor specific drug information. The results have shown that a total of 115 patients in Macedonia are eligible for first-line therapy, whereby 54 (46%) patients were eligible for monotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis. Precise determination of these data provides patients’ determination by geographical allocation and proper selection of the best treatment option and optimized therapy for each patient, furthermore when subcutaneous formulation of tocilizumab is available as an effective clinically proven treatment option for RA

Specific topics included NGS-based diagnostics of solid tumors, hematological malignancies, inherited and infectious diseases, proteomic-based approaches for biomarker discovery, predictive biomarkers for personalized treatment strategies, and bioinformatic analysis of NGS data. The meeting also provided a unique platform for fruitful discussions between internationally recognized experts and young researchers from developing countries, providing new perspectives and ideas on broader implementation of these techniques for personalized management and care.
Effect of Tillage and Poultry Manure Rates on Physiological Growth and Yield of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
Authors: Eifediyi E.K. , Komolafe O.A. , Ahamefule H.E. , Falola A.
Published: January 2019

A field trial was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Ilorin during the 2015 and 2016 cropping seasons to assess the effect of tillage methods and poultry manure application on the growth and yield of sesame. The experiment was laid out as a split plot arrangement, fitted into a randomized complete block replicated thrice. The factors consisted of three tillage methods and four levels of poultry manure application (0, 5, 10, and 15 tha−1). The result revealed that tillage and poultry manure significantly (P<0.05) increased the growth and yield of sesame. Increasing the rate of poultry manure resulted in an increase in the net assimilation rate, relative growth rate, and crop growth rate. The yield in 2016 was higher than that of 2015 due to higher rainfall and residual effect of the previous cropping season. Yield per hectare was optimized using conventional tillage method and poultry manure at 15 tha−1. Although the conventional tillage and poultry manure treatments produced the highest yield, the control plot gave the highest cost and returns (return per investment) in the two years of study due to high cost of farm inputs. The result of the study further affirms farmer’s reluctance on the use of external inputs for yield enhancement in sesame.

Benefits of open data are diverse and range from improved efficiency of public administrations, economic growth in the private sector. Agriculture is also an inseparable part of the private sector. These data can stimulate economic growth. Economy can benefit from an easier access to information, content and knowledge in turn contributing to the development of innovative services and creation of new business models (European Data Portal, 2016). The prerequisite of this stimulation is consistency of open data. Both of these features have to be a part of these data quality. However, this aspect of open data quality has not yet been satisfactorily resolved in the framework of international standardization of quality (Systems and Software Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE)). The issue of possible evaluation of open data consistency in agriculture is discussed. Results suggest that open data consistency may be achieved by consistent application of the technique of data normalization of relevant data sets. Consistent application of data normalization technique of open data sets can reduce the risk of inconsistency of the open data. That is the only way to guarantee that the open data will be the benefit to private sector.

Consumption and increasing level of living conditions are the main characteristics of society nowadays. Quality of life is necessarily related to living conditions of population, therefore form a basis of sustainable development. The aim of the article is to determine the economic conditions of the population in Visegrad countries (V4) based on the economic indicators of quality of life. The main data source is Eurostat for the period 2005–2017. In the paper is stated and analyzed development of eight indicators of quality of life in the field of material living conditions. They are divided into three groups: indicators on income, consumption and indicators related to the living conditions of the V4 population. The results of the analysis showed that residents of the Czech Republic have the highest quality of life, followed by Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. Position of the Czech Republic and Slovakia among the V4 countries is relatively stable over the reported period. The most significant positive change in several indicators of quality of life was recorded in case of Poland. As for the individual indicators, it was proved in case of Hungary, they had dramatic development without the statistical attributability of their development trend.
How to Place August 15 in South Korean History? The New Right, the “1948 Foundation” Historical View, and the 2008 Kŏn’gukchŏl Dispute
Authors: Vierthaler Patrick
Published: January 2019

In Korea, August 15 marks both the liberation from colonialism (1945) and the promulgation of the South Korean state (1948). As a memorial day, 8.15 became to be narrated mostly as the day of liberation, while 1948 plays only a minor role. However, in the 2000s, the emergence of the New Right brought new debates on how to evaluate post-liberation history. A historical view proposing public memory on 8.15 centred on the “foundation” of South Korea emerged (kŏn’guk view). Combined with attempts to re-name 8.15 into a foundation day (kŏn’gukchŏl), an intense dispute between proponents and opponents of the re-narration was the result. This paper outlines the emergence of the New Right and traces the origins and politicisation of the kŏn’guk view and demonstrates how adopting the kŏn’guk narrative in state commemoration events led to a broad dispute in South Korean society. I trace this view’s origin to 2003 and argue that it got politicised in early 2008 during the early Lee Myung-bak administration. The politicisation resulted in a dispute in politics, civil society, and newspapers, whose progress and characteristics I analyse in detail. As a result of the 2008 Kŏn’gukchŏl Dispute, the issue of how to narrate the events of 1948 became actively discussed in academic scholarship since 2009.

Authors: De La Torre-Valdez Hugo César , Moreno-Vázquez José Luis
Published: January 2019

Objetivo: identificar las respuestas del Sistema Socio-Ecológico (SSE) de la subcuenca baja Río Sonora ante distintas expresiones territoriales que marcan cada uno de los regímenes de aprovechamiento a partir de tres perspectivas: (a) escala ecológica, (b) alcance de las políticas de conservación y (c) contexto social. Metodología: descripción del contexto; identificación de la dinámica territorial a través de un Sistema de Información Geográfica, en un periodo de cuarenta años por medio de la técnica superposición geométrica de información vectorial. Resultados: interrelación territorial entre distintos vínculos productivos del SSE, alteración hidrológica, incremento sucesivo de usos de suelo y cambios de vegetación; se identifica el exiguo alcance de políticas de regulación ecológica; así como la tendencia demográfica decreciente en áreas rurales y niveles significativos de marginación. Limitaciones: se asume el margen de error de los insumos cartográficos oficiales. Conclusiones: las distintas perturbaciones por uso de suelo, la limitada regulación ecológica y el contexto demográfico del SSE generan una resiliencia cíclica y reducida, donde los cambios adaptativos se han traducido en una prolongación de la misma in/sustentabilidad de la subcuenca a través del tiempo.

Objetivo: determinar la cantidad y disponibilidad de estiércol liberado en traspatios en Santa María Nepopualco, Huejotzingo, Puebla; conocer el nivel de apreciación y preferencia que tienen los productores por el uso de abonos orgánicos, los efectos que éstos tienen en sus cultivos, conocimiento e interés por elaborarlos, para iniciar un proceso de gestión local comunitario de residuos. Metodología: se realizó un estudio descriptivo mediante la aplicación de cuestionarios a 87 informantes clave de un total de 604 Unidades Familiares Campesinas (UFC), con la información recabada se realizó un Análisis de Frecuencias y Porcentajes, un Análisis Multivariado por Componentes Principales (ACP) y Conglomerados (AC), previo ajuste o normalización de las variables. Resultados: la cantidad de estiércol generada al interior de la comunidad es suficiente para la elaboración de abonos orgánicos mediante el procesamiento de estiércoles a pequeña escala, entre los productores existe apreciación favorable de los estiércoles e interés por abonos orgánicos procesados. Con el ACP y AC se identificaron tres grupos de productores de UFC de la comunidad en función de la apreciación e interés. Limitaciones: se empleó un cuestionario aplicado a una muestra de informantes clave de UFC de la comunidad, pero seleccionada al azar. Conclusiones: por disponibilidad y cantidad de estiércol, apreciación de efectos de los estiércoles e interés por los abonos orgánicos, con los grupos identificados, como agentes de cambio, resulta factible la gestión y elaboración de fertilizantes orgánicos a escala comunitaria en los traspatios, pero se debe partir del interés, conocimiento y saberes locales de los productores.

Domestic violence is the most common case in the community. Women and children are victims of domestic violence. In Denpasar, Indonesia, currently, data collection system of victims of domestic violence (KDRT) is conducted by the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency. It is still has some limitations because it is operating manually. Through this web-based data collection system of domestic violence, a complaint report on domestic violence can be done digitally so it does not need to report manually to the authorities. In this system, the victims will be given freedom to show or hide their identity. This system receives input filled form of violent reports; next, the complaints report can be known by others (not admin) anonymously. After the complaint report get into in the system, it will be done the next process which is verification. The results of the verification process will determine the validity of complaint reports. After passing the verification process, report data will be recorded in the system and will be done the formulation of follow-up to the action of the case by the legislation authorities.

AC (Air Conditioner), TV, lamp, LCD and others are categorized as nonlinear load generating harmonics. The high content of harmonics has a negative impact on the quality of electrical power. The result of measurement of THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) current at 9 ohm ground resistance value at phase R = 9,8%, phase S = 11,0%, phase T = 7,5% exceed from standard value IEEE 519 Year 2014 equal to ? 5 , 0%, THD measurement of phase voltage R = 1.4%, phase S = 1.2%, phase T = 1.3%, meet the maximum THDv standard of ? 5%. To overcome this problem, it was observed the effect of the value of ground resistance to THDi and THDv on the electrical system of the College of Engineering Faculty of Denpasar. This method of analysis with ETAP software simulation. With grounding system ? 3 ohm only effect on current THD only with decreasing value of THDi become: phasa R = 4,2%, phase S = 5% and phase T = 4,3%, meaning with grounding system ? 3 ohm THD current fulfill IEEE 519 - 2014 standard <5%. while THD voltage has no effect (THD value of fixed voltage). Several studies have suggested that THD repair can be done by filter installation. However in this study the installation of grounding system ? 3 ohms can reduce the value of current THD.
