Published: July 2020

Dewasa ini, kita dapat melihat bahawa cinta kemanusiaan dalam diri manusia semakin terhakis. Peningkatan kadar peperangan, pertumpahan darah dan jenayah di seluruh dunia seperti peperangan di Palestin dan Syria yang mengorbankan ribuan nyawa manusia yang tidak berdosa memjelaskan penularan fenomena ini. Manusia seolah-olah telah tidak mempunyai rasa belas kasihan terhadap mangsa yang terbunuh. Justeru, indikator cinta kemanusiaan dilihat sebagai salah satu alternatif solusi untuk membendung fenomena ini daripada terus berlarutan. Hasil kajian konseptual ini telah mengenal pasti beberapa indikator cinta kemanusiaan; iaitu keinginan untuk membantu (prosocial/altruisme), filantrofi, prihatin, cinta kebaikan, kesederhanaan (wasatiyah), mematuhi undang-undang, empati, nilai jati diri, tanggungjawab sosial, keagamaan, belas kasihan dan toleransi. Pihak yang berkenaan boleh menjadikan indikator cinta kemanusiaan ini sebagai nilai yang perlu dididik dan diterapkan dalam diri individu supaya bagi meningkatkan rasa cinta kemanusiaan dalam diri sekaligus mengelak daripada terlibat dengan sebarang siri kekejaman, seterusnya melahirkan generasi penyayang dan harmoni. Kajian ini mencadangkan agar indikator Cinta Kemanusiaan yang telah dikenalpasti ini dapat diterapkan melalui Kursus Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia memandangkan kepentingan kursus ini kepada pelajar-pelajar Insitusi Pengajian Tinggi di Malaysia.

ABSTRAK: Tanduk rusa baldu merupakan antara bahan penting yang dimanfaatkan dalam bidang perubatan herba tradisional di kebanyakan negara asia, termasuk di Malaysia. Bagaimanapun, timbul ketidakpastian hukum terhadap ubat tanduk rusa baldu yang dipotong ketika masih hidup, iaitu

sama ada ia boleh dikategorikan sebagai produk yang halal atau haram untuk dimanfaatkan, lantaran wujud konflik fatwa di Malaysia mengenainya. Objektif kajian ini adalah bagi menganalisis hukum ubat daripada tanduk rusa baldu menurut perpektif halal dan haram. Bagi mencapai objektif tersebut, kaedah kualitatif digunakan menerusi pendekatan analisis dokumen, temubual dan pemerhatian. Hasil kajian mendapati antara punca perbezaan pendapat fuqaha dalam menentukan hukum tanduk yang dipotong semasa hidup adalah disebabkan ijtihad mereka yang berbeza terhadap tanduk haiwan, iaitu sama ada ia termasuk dalam kategori anggota yang menyakitkan jika dipotong atau tidak menyakitkan. Berdasarkan maklumat saintifik dan pemerhatian, terbukti bahawa

tanduk rusa baldu adalah sejenis anggota yang bersaraf dan menyakitkan jika dipotong ketika hidup, dan tidak boleh disamakan dengan kes bulu haiwan halal.

Justeru, produk perubatan berasaskan tanduk rusa yang diperolehi secara kaedah pemotongan tersebut adalah haram dan najis. Sebagai alternatif, pengambilan tanduk rusa menerusi kaedah penyembelihan secara syarak boleh menukar statusnya menjadi produk yang halal.

Published: July 2020

‘Apa guna berkain batik, kalau tidak berbaju kasa, Apa guna memang cantik, kalau tidak berbudi bahasa’. History has proven how the life patterns of society in the past were reflected through the values that became the basis of the development of civilization. The value is essentially an impression that affects the choice pattern of the form, the tool and the goal of action. The value becomes a measure and holds on the good bad or pretty ugliness of a behaviour based on the norms or habits of the society. As members of a society, individuals are nurtured by social values shared with others and that values eventually become prevalent in the society. From norm it becomes the civilizational values that is owned by a civilization. In the context of Malaysian society, these civilizational values is part of the society that cannot be separated.

Lambakan filem daripada Barat di Malaysia mencetuskan kebimbangan dalam kalangan masyarakat. Hal ini kerana pembikinan filem-filem tersebut bukanlah sekadar cerita, namun sarat dengan elemen falsafah dan budaya daripada Barat, tidak terkecuali juga elemen agama. Perkara ini secara tidak langsung memberikan pengaruh yang cukup besar terhadap pemikiran dan pegangan umat Islam terutama kepada golongan yang belum memiliki akidah yang mantap terutama kanak-kanak.

Kajian ini berperanan penting dalam membongkar agenda tersembunyi khususnya dalam usaha menyebarkan ideologi-ideologi Barat ke dunia Islam.Abstract: The glut of western movies in Malaysia raised an alarm among the society.

TRANSFORMASI RELIEF CANDI PRAMBANAN DALAM KARYA TUBUH RITUS TUBUH OLEH ANGGONO KUSUMO WIBOWO
Authors: Purwanti Siska Dwi , Daryono Daryono
Published: July 2020

Transformation is a process of changing form, nature, and so on into new forms without leaving the values that existed in the previous culture. The process of transformation always produces elements of novelty, both in terms of style, taste, and meaning even at different levels of change. Transformation in art does not only occur in similar arts. Ancient relics, for example, as one form of art can be a starting point to be interpreted into visual expression in contemporary art, including dance. Tubuh Ritus Tubuh is one of the dance works which is a form of transformation of the Prambanan Temple relief. This study tries to uncover the allegations of the  transformation of the Prambanan temple reliefs that can be observed on Tubuh Ritus Tubuh dance presentation. The problem of transformation is examined using the theory of change expressed by Lorens Bagus. The participatory research method carried out by the author is able to uncover the form of transformation found in certain parts of the dance presentation. Keywords: transformation, relief, Prambanan Temple, Tubuh Ritus Tubuh.
Building an integrated history of musical numbers in Brazilian chanchadas
Authors: Cesarino Costa Flávia
Published: July 2020

This article discusses industrial and aesthetical aspects of the musical numbers in 1950s Brazilian chanchadas. The chanchadas were a body of films made between the 1930s and 60s, that combined a mixed style derived from domestic influences of radio and popular music routines and from local forms of comic theatrical revues. I propose an examination of the entertainment industry’s influence on the musical numbers chosen for these 1950s chanchadas. This intermedial approach is based on the strong links between cinema and other cultural practices. I will argue the need to take into account not only theatrical practices, but also the routines of carnival culture, as well as the music industry and radio performances, in order to reconsider longstanding historical accounts based on the specificity of film media.

Conservation and curation
Authors: Caston Emily
Published: July 2020

This article identifies and examines the research methods involved in curating a national collection of British music videos for the British Film Institute and British Library in relation to existing scholarship about the role of the curator, the function of canons in the humanities, and the concept of a hierarchy of screen arts. It outlines the process by which a theoretical definition of “landmarks” guided the selection of works alongside a commitment to include a regionally and socially diverse selection of videos to reflect the variations in film style of different music genres. The article also assesses the existing condition of British music video archives: rushes, masters, as well as documents and digital files, and the issues presenting academics and students wishing to study them. It identifies the fact that music video exists in the gaps between two disciplines and industries (popular music studies / the music industry and film and television studies / the screen industries) as an additional challenge to curators of the cultural form, alongside complex matters of licensing and formats.

Özenli Vatandaşlık: Feminist Özen Etiğini Yeniden Politikleştirmek
Authors: Goker Zeynep Gulru
Published: July 2020

Makale, özen etiği yaklaşımının politik öznelik ve aktif vatandaşlık anlayışlarına katkısını feminist siyaset felsefesi çerçevesinde incelemektedir. Bunu yaparken feminist siyaset kuramcılarının modern evrensel ahlaki akıl yürütme teorilerine getirdiği eleştiriyi ciddiye alarak, kısmi bakış açısı ve özen ilişkilerinin esas alındığı vatandaşlık ilişki ve pratiklerinin altını çizmekte ancak kadınların farklı ahlaki bir bakış açısı olduğu ya da annelin yüceltildiği bir takım özcü yaklaşımlardan ve özenin apolitikleştirildiği bireyci yaklaşımlardan ayrılmaktadır. Makale, özen etiğinin toplumsal cinsiyet ekseninde barış ve çevre tartışmaları ve hareketleri bağlamındaki yansımalarını irdelemekte, özen ve bakıma değer verirken ataerkil toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini yeniden üretmeyen bir eşitlikçi, demokratik ve özenli vatandaşlık anlayışının deneyime dayalı bir demokrasi ve vatandaşlık eğitimini yolu ile geliştirilebileceğini öne sürmektedir.

Eleştirel Söylemsel Analiz yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışma, Türkiye’de sosyal medya bağlamında annelik kimliğinin kadınlar tarafından inşasını, söylemsel kaynaklar olan açıklayıcı repertuarlar ve özne konumları ile ele almayı amaçlamıştır. Bunun için ilk olarak Facebook ve Instagram kanallarında yer alan fenomen anne profilleri ve annelik gruplarında paylaşılan gönderiler ve bu gönderilere gelen takipçi yorumları incelenmiştir.  İkinci olarak birbirinden farklı özelliklere sahip 5 anne ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat yapılmıştır. Sosyal medya incelemesi sonucunda “bireysel annelik”, “kadın-erkek eşitsizliği üzerinden annelik”, “yeterince fedakârlık” ve “yetersizlik” olmak üzere 4 açıklayıcı repertuar elde edilmiştir. Özne konumları olarak da fenomen anneler için “duyurucu, öğretici, aydınlatıcı, yol gösterici, nasihat edici ve rol model olarak alınabilecek kişi” konumları tespit edilmiştir. Fenomen annelerin takipçileri için ise “fenomen annenin öğreticiliği, yol göstericiliği ve rol modelliğini kabul edenler ve kabul etmeyenler” şeklinde özne konumları tespit edilmiştir.

Two-Component Bayesian Hierarchical Models for Cost-Benefit Analysis of Traffic Barrier Crash Count
Authors: Rezapour Mahdi , Ksaibati Khaled
Published: July 2020

Road departure crashes tend to be hazardous, especially in rural areas like Wyoming. Traffic barriers could be installed to mitigate the severity of those crashes. However, the severity of traffic barriers crashes still persists. Besides various drivers and environmental characteristics, the roadways and barrier geometric characteristics play a critical role in the severity of barrier crashes. The Wyoming department of transportation (WYDOT) has initiated a project to identify and optimize the heights of those barriers that are below the design standard, while prioritizing them based on the monetary benefit. This is to optimize first barriers that need an immediate attention, considering the limited budget, and then all other barriers being under design. In order to account for both aspects of frequency and severity of crashes, equivalent property damage only (EPDO) was considered. The data of this type besides having an over-dispersion, exhibits excess amounts of zeroes. Thus, a two-component model was employed to provide a flexible way of addressing this problem. Beside this technique, one-component hierarchical modeling approach was considered for a comparison purpose. This paper presents an empirical cost-benefit analysis based on Bayesian hierarchical machine learning techniques. After identifying the best model in terms of the performance, deviance information criterion (DIC), the results were converted into an equation, and the equation was used for a purpose of machine learning technique. An automated method generated cost based on barriers’ current conditions, and then based on optimized barrier heights. The empirical analysis showed that cost-sensitive modeling and machine learning technique deployment could be used as an effective way for cost-benefit analysis. That could be achieved through measuring the associated costs of barriers’ enhancements, added benefits over years and consequently, barrier prioritization due to lack of available budget. A comprehensive discussion across the two-component models, zero-inflated and hurdle, is included in the manuscript.
Predicting Field Efficiency of Round-Baling Operations in High-Yielding Biomass Crops

Published: July 2020

Model simulations for bioenergy harvest planning need to utilize equipment-capacity relationships for equipment operating under the high-yield conditions typical of a biomass crop. These performance assumptions have a direct bearing on the estimates of machine capacity, the number of machines required, and, therefore, the cost to fulfill the biorefinery plant demands for a given harvest window. Typically, two major issues in these models have been poorly understood: the available time required to complete the harvest operation (often called probability of workdays) and the capacity of the harvest equipment as impacted by yield. Simulations use annual yield estimates, which incorporate weather events, to demonstrate year-to-year effects. Some simulations also incorporate potential yield increases from genetically modified energy crops. There are limited field performance data for most current forage equipment used for harvesting high-yield biomass crops. Analysis shows that the impact of wrap/eject time for round balers resulted in a 50% reduction in achieved throughput capacity (Mg/h). After the maximum throughput is reached, the cost of the round bale operation (3.23 USD/Mg) is double that of the large-square baler (1.63 USD/Mg). The round baler achieved throughput capacity is 50% less (32.7 Mg/h compared to 71.0 Mg/h) than the large-square baler.
Prophage in Phage Manufacturing: Is the Risk Overrated Compared to Other Therapies or Food?
Authors: Jérôme Gabard
Published: July 2020

The rehabilitation of lytic bacteriophages, as living and replicative biological therapeutic agents, is only 2 decades old in western countries, compared to other therapeutic approaches using chemicals and inactivated or alive biologicals. This paper attempts to provide arguments to address prophage content issues in phage pharmaceutical preparations from a regulatory perspective. The author rebalances the risk associated with the presence of prophages in their pharmaceutical preparations in comparison (i) to lysogenic phages and prophages contained in various therapeutic anti-infective treatments, as well as in food or probiotics, (ii) to adventitious whole retroviruses or fragments contained in vaccines, and (iii) to the massive release of lysogenic phages and prophages induced by antibiotics usage.
Dietary Polyphenols in Cancer Chemoprevention: Implications in Pancreatic Cancer
Authors: Thyagarajan Anita , Forino Andrew S. , Konger Raymond L. , Sahu Ravi P.
Published: July 2020

Naturally occurring dietary agents present in a wide variety of plant products, are rich sources of phytochemicals possessing medicinal properties, and thus, have been used in folk medicine for ages to treat various ailments. The beneficial effects of such dietary components are frequently attributed to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, particularly in regards to their antineoplastic activities. As many tumor types exhibit greater oxidative stress levels that are implicated in favoring autonomous cell growth activation, most chemotherapeutic agents can also enhance tumoral oxidative stress levels in part via generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). While ROS-mediated imbalance of the cellular redox potential can provide novel drug targets, as a consequence, this ROS-mediated excessive damage to cellular functions, including oncogenic mutagenesis, has also been implicated in inducing chemoresistance. This remains one of the major challenges in the treatment and management of human malignancies. Antioxidant-enriched natural compounds offer one of the promising approaches in mitigating some of the underlying mechanisms involved in tumorigenesis and metastasis, and therefore, have been extensively explored in cancer chemoprevention. Among various groups of dietary phytochemicals, polyphenols have been extensively explored for their underlying chemopreventive mechanisms in other cancer models. Thus, the current review highlights the significance and mechanisms of some of the highly studied polyphenolic compounds, with greater emphasis on pancreatic cancer chemoprevention.

Published: July 2020

The purpose of this study is to explore how to effectively prevent risks in the Marine Silk Road. This paper establishes a hierarchical theoretical framework by using the interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and explores an application system for intelligent prevention. The fuzzy set theory is also used to screen out the unnecessary attributes, and a decision-making and trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) is proposed to manage the complex interrelationships among the aspects and attributes. Finally, we suggest an applicable risk-prevention system for the Marine Silk Road. Our results: (1) the solution to international political and trade risks is the most critical for the risk prevention; (2) the solution to marine meteorological risks relies mainly on the improvement of ocean information sharing mechanism driven by big data which needs international cooperation in terms of information and technology; (3) the solution to marine energy and environmental risks also requires active international cooperation; (4) the application system should be built based on three levels, including the international level, the government level, and the company level. This theoretical hierarchical framework aims to guide the countries alongside the road to effectively prevent the risks on the Marine Silk Road, promote the sustainable development of the Marine Silk Road, and develop the transnational economies and cultures.
Potential of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Cycles to Reduce the Levelised Cost of Electricity of Contemporary Concentrated Solar Power Plants

Published: July 2020

This paper provides an assessment of the expected Levelised Cost of Electricity enabled by Concentrated Solar Power plants based on Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO 2 ) technology. A global approach is presented, relying on previous results by the authors in order to ascertain whether these innovative power cycles have the potential to achieve the very low costs of electricity reported in the literature. From a previous thermodynamic analysis of sCO 2 cycles, three layouts are shortlisted and their installation costs are compared prior to assessing the corresponding cost of electricity. Amongst them, the Transcritical layout is then discarded due to the virtually impossible implementation in locations with high ambient temperature. The remaining layouts, Allam and Partial Cooling are then modelled and their Levelised Cost of Electricity is calculated for a number of cases and two different locations in North America. Each case is characterised by a different dispatch control scheme and set of financial assumptions. A Concentrated Solar Power plant based on steam turbine technology is also added to the assessment for the sake of comparison. The analysis yields electricity costs varying in the range from 8 to over 11 ¢/kWh, which is near but definitely not below the 6 ¢/kWh target set forth by different administrations. Nevertheless, in spite of the results, a review of the conservative assumptions adopted in the analysis suggests that attaining costs substantially lower than this is very likely. In other words, the results presented in this paper can be taken as an upper limit of the economic performance attainable by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide in Concentrated Solar Power applications.
Neural Network Approach to MPPT Control and Irradiance Estimation
Authors: Zečević Žarko , Rolevski Maja
Published: July 2020

Photovoltaic (PV) modules require maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms to ensure that the amount of power extracted is maximized. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity MPPT algorithm that is based on the neural network (NN) model of the photovoltaic module. Namely, the expression for the output current of the NN model is used to derive the analytical, iterative rules for determining the maximal power point (MPP) voltage and irradiance estimation. In this way, the computational complexity is reduced compared to the other NN-based MPPT methods, in which the optimal voltage is predicted directly from the measurements. The proposed algorithm cannot instantaneously determine the optimal voltage, but it contains a tunable parameter for controlling the trade-off between the tracking speed and computational complexity. Numerical results indicate that the relative error between the actual maximum power and the one obtained by the proposed algorithm is less than 0.1%, which is up to ten times smaller than in the available algorithms.
