Authors: Yerlikaya Yağmur Gözde , Doğruyol Burak
Published: July 2020

İşbirlikçi davranışlar, insanlık tarihinden bu yana türün devamını destekleyici nitelikte olagelmiştir. Prososyal davranışların içerisinde tanımlanan işbirliği davranışı, yazında sıklıkla özgecilik ile ayrıştırılmadan ele alınmaktadır. Ancak kavramın temel anlamı ve pratiği gereği, işbirliğini özgecilikten ayrıştırarak ele almak ve ölçmek anlamlı görülmektedir. Bu noktada Xie, Yu, Chen ve Chen (2006) tarafından geliştirilen İşbirlikçilik ve Rekabetçilik Ölçeği’nden yararlanarak işbirliğini ölçmek üzere Türkçe bir ölçek oluşturulması hedeflenmiştir. Ölçekten çeşitli maddeler seçilmiş ve 16 maddelik Türkiye kültürüne uyarlanmış İşbirliği Ölçeği elde edilmiştir. 171 kişilik bir örneklemde sınanan İşbirliği Ölçeği, doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri sonucunda kendi içinde tutarlı ve işbirliğini temsil edici 11 maddelik son halini almıştır. İşbirliği Ölçeği aynı zamanda, Alternatif Tutsak İkilemi Oyunu, İşbirliği Olarak Ahlak Ölçeği ve Prososyal Niyet Anketi’nden elde edilen değerlerle olumlu korelasyon göstermiştir. Buna göre, kişilerin İşbirliği Ölçeği ile belirlenen işbirliği eğilimleri yükseldikçe ölçeklerden elde edilen işbirliği davranışları ve özgeci eğilimler yükselmiştir. Dolayısıyla, ölçeğin işbirliği kavramını beklenen şekilde ölçtüğü görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak kültürel adaptasyon çalışması yapılan İşbirliği Ölçeği’nin ile kişilerin işbirliğine yönelik tutumlarının ve işbirliği eğilimlerinin ölçümünde geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğu değerlendirilmiştir.
Data Processing Techniques for Real-Time Traveler Information: Use of Dedicated Short-Range Communications Probes on Suburban Arterial
Authors: Jang Jinhwan
Published: July 2020

Background:

As wireless communication technologies evolve, probe-based travel-time collection systems are becoming popular around the globe. However, two problems generally arise in probe-based systems: one is the outlier and the other is time lag. To resolve the problems, methods for outlier removal and travel-time prediction need to be applied.

Methods:

In this study, data processing methods for addressing the two issues are proposed. After investigating the characteristic of the travel times on the test section, the modified z-score was suggested for censoring outliers contained in probe travel times. To mitigate the time-lag phenomenon, a recurrent neural network, a class of deep learning where temporal sequence data are normally treated, was applied to predict travel times.

Results:

As a result of evaluation with ground-truth data obtained through test-car runs, the proposed methods showed enhanced performances with prediction errors lower than 13% on average compared to current practices.

Conclusion:

The suggested methods can make drivers to better arrange their trip schedules with real-time travel-time information with improved accuracy.

Authors: Sato Yoshihiro , Yamaguchi Shohei , Funaki Shota , Kurihara Atsutoshi , Kumagai Yuki , Nakamura Satoru , Ueno Takao , Bao Yue
Published: July 2020

Remotely operated construction machines are used in cases where the operators are in danger, such as on steep slopes or contaminated sites. However, remote operation differs from what operators perceive during hands-on machine operation. Various studies have focused on improving work efficiency by employing remote control operation to reduce operator workload. In these studies, questionnaires were generally employed to evaluate the operator workload. However, the results obtained from the questionnaires varied depending on the physical conditions and the mood of the person on that day. It was therefore concluded that an accurate evaluation cannot be performed based on this method. Hence, in this study, the eye strain of machine operators was measured using an Auto Refractor/Keratometer. In particular, the ciliary muscle activities were measured before and after operating three display systems used for remote control of construction equipment. A quantitative evaluation was then conducted based on the eye strain data. The 2D display system exhibited low work accuracy and efficiency and resulted in significant eye strain. Although the 3D display system that required glasses exhibited high accuracy and efficiency, it resulted in significant eye strain. The 3D display system that did not require glasses demonstrated high accuracy and lower eye strain. From the results presented above, it was confirmed that the autostereoscopic 3D system is suitable for operators.

Authors: Krishnan Amala , Kolathayar Sreevalsa
Published: July 2020

This paper presents the stability analysis of a dike proposed to impound the river flood waters within an estuary near the west coast of south India. The proposed dike will be located within Ashtamudi Lake, the second largest lake in the state of Kerala, India, separating fresh water from brackish water. Constructing a dike at Munro Island portion of Ashtamudi, which is about 9.23 km from Arabian Sea coast, can meet the water demands of the region as well as prevent the sinking of Island during high tide. The river dike is designed to construct artificially as rock filled structures. The stratigraphy in the top 2 m consists of clayey mud underlined by fine to medium sand up to 6 m followed by alternate layers of clay and sand up the investigated depth of 15 m. In this paper, the stability of the dike located in an estuarine environment has been investigated and the factor of safety values have been determined with varying water level conditions and varying properties of the underlying soil. A detailed parametric study using RocScience software is presented, considering all the design conditions. The expected settlement of the dike is estimated considering the soil profile at the location both manually as well as using software Geo5. Both were in good agreement and the maximum possible settlement was found to be less than half a meter.

Published: July 2020

Objective:

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) has been of interest during the advancement of insulin obstruction in stout mice. Serum IL-12 levels have not precisely been decided in obese people and neither is its regulation by aquarobic training (recommended sport type for obese people which is less stressor for hefty individual joints).

Aims:

This research aims to discover the alteration pattern of IL-12 in serum of obese people based on BMI, examine their relationship with obesity-related parameters and how it can be modulated by aquarobic training.

Methods:

First study wasa cross-sectional study conducted on 34 obese adults ranging from 33 – 57 years old. The study used primary data which were blood samples from adult obese. For reducing the risk for the obese patients, in second study, we recruited 12 healthy volunteers for a 12 week aquarobic training program. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods, we observed that serum IL-12 level was altered by different levels of BMI and correlated with other factors like Low Density Lipoprotein level, Cholesterol level and Waist Ratio.

Results:

The group with BMI between 27.01 – 29.99, have IL-12 level of 94.102 ± 35.19 pg/mL. Group with BMI 30.00 – 33.99 have 96.068 ± 59.44pg/mL, and those with BMI more than 33.99 have IL-12 level of 114.572 ± 74.22 pg/mL.

Conclusion:

Interestingly, it was observed that 12 week aquarobic training can significantly reduce the IL-12 level. Taken together,
IL12 level may play an important role in obesity and can be potentially modulated by aquarobic training.

Authors: Doyle Daniel J.
Published: July 2020

Background:

The need for reliable respiratory monitoring has increased in recent years with the frequent use of opioids for perioperative pain management as well as a high prevalence of patients suffering from respiratory comorbidities.

Objective:

Motivated by the success of acoustical color spectrographic techniques in other knowledge domains, we sought to build proof-of-concept systems for the computer-based color spectrographic analysis of respiratory sounds, recorded from various sites.

Methods:

We used a USB miniature electret microphone and a Windows-based color spectrographic analysis package to obtain color spectrograms for breath sound recordings from the neck, from an oxygen mask, from the ear canal, and from a leak-free microphone pneumatically connected to the cuff of a laryngeal mask airway.

Results:

Potentially useful color spectrographic displays were obtained from all four recording sites, although the spectrograms obtained varied in their characteristics. It was also found that obtaining high-quality color spectrograms requires attention to a number of technical details.

Conclusion:

Color spectrographic analysis of respiratory sounds is a promising future technology for respiratory monitoring.

Published: July 2020

Electron and hole scattering by deep impurities in gallium arsenide heterostructures with two quantum wells under arbitrary doping profile was considered within the strongly localized potential approximation. The de-pendence of scattering rate on the carrier energy was shown to reproduce the step-like form of the density of states for size quantization subbands of the heterostructure accounting for the contribution of the overlap integral of the carrier wave functions. For hole subbands of negative effective mass the scattering rates at the subband edges have singularities common for one-dimensional systems.

The CoP-based layered magnetic films, what is more the every layer has certain atomic and chemical structure, were studied by spin-resonance method. The covers were synthesized two type: magnonic crystals (amorphous Co(P)/fcc Co(P))N and gradient Co(P)-based films and they allow us to observe two different modification SWR spectrum. In one case it is SWR spectrum like Hn(n)~n2 when modification is result from created first stop-zone of a magnonic crystal. In the second case the dependence of resonance fields Hn of the spin-wave modes on mode number n has the form Hn(n)~n2/3. The thermal annealing gives rise to the crystallization (the amorphous state transfers to fcc) and cases the transformation of layered films to films of monophase Co-P-based alloys, this process declares itself in changing SWR spectrums form and in the spectrum modification like “exchange kink”

Authors: Jiang Yunhan , Zhou Jing , Ou Xiaoqi , Cheng Wei , Qin Yun , Chen Sai
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

SARS-COV-2 has caused digestive system symptom, while mechanism of which remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the underlying causes and mechanisms of digestive involvement in COVID-19.

METHODS

Patients with COVID-19 were classified into 4 groups according to symptom. The study conducted bioinformatic analysis and focused on digestive system symptom by comparing its laboratory examinations with other groups.

RESULTS

By March 16, 25 patients with COVID-19 (3 with digestive system symptom, 14 with respiratory system symptom, 4 with combined symptom and 4 asymptomatic) and 13 with suspect COVID-19 were admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Digestive system symptom group had the highest level of ESR (mm/h, P＜0.0001), serum ferritin (ng/ml, P＜0.0001), hepatic enzymes (P＜0.05), and retentive lymphocyte count/percentage (P＜0.05) and its subsets (P＜0.05). Combined group had the highest level of IL-6 (pg/ml, P=0.0046), CRP (mg/L, P=0.0004) and moderate lymphocyte depletion where respiratory system symptom group suffered the most from lymphocyte depletion (P＜0.05). Bioinformatic analysis indicated co-expression of binding related proteins of SARS-COV-2 (ACE2, TMPRSS2 and Furin) in small intestine. CD147 was extensively expressed in alimentary tract. CTSL, PIKfyve, TPC2 and CTSB could be detected with ≥moderate expressions in a variety of organs including alimentary system.

CONCLUSIONS

Alimentary system is directly attacked by SARS-COV-2 other than hyperinflammation and immune dysregulation. Involvement of alimentary system might further protect mild and moderate cases from lymphocyte depletion caused by COVID-19.

Explore the Possible Impact of BCG Vaccination Policy on the Morbidity, Mortality, and Recovery Rates due to COVID-19 Infection. (Preprint)
Authors: Chang Chuan-Hsin , Chang Yue-Cune
Published: July 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

BACKGROUND
The Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is the new form of an acute infectious respiratory disease and has quickly spread over most continents in the world. Recently, it has been shown that Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) might protect against COVID-19. This study aims to investigate the possible correlation between BCG vaccination and morbidity/mortality/recovery rate associated with COVID-19 infection.

METHODS
Data of COVID-19 confirmed cases, deaths, recoveries, and population were obtained from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ (Accessed on 12 June, 2020). To have meaningful comparisons among countries mortality and recovery rates, we only choose those countries with COVID-19 infected cases at least 200. The Poisson regression and logistic regression were used to explore the relationship between BCG vaccination and morbidity, mortality and recovery rates.

RESULTS
Among those 158 countries with at least 200 COVID-19 infected cases, there were 141 countries with BCG vaccination information available. The adjusted rates ratio of COVID-19 confirmed cases for Current BCG vaccination vs. non-Current BCG vaccination was 0.339 (with 95% CI= (0.338,0.340)). Moreover, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) of death and recovery after coronavirus infected for Current BCG vaccination vs. non-Current BCG vaccination were 0.258 (with 95% CI= (0.254,0.261)) and 2.151 (with 95% CI= (2.140,2.163)), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
That data in this study show the BCG might provide the protection against COVID-19, with consequent less COVID-19 infection and deaths and more rapid recovery. BCG vaccine might bridge the gap before the disease-specific vaccine is developed, but this hypothesis needs to be further tested in rigorous randomized clinical trials.

Published: July 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States and across the globe. Cancer screening is an effective preventive measure that can reduce cancer incidence and mortality. While cancer screening is integral to cancer control and prevention, due to the COVID-19 outbreak many screenings have either been canceled or postponed, leaving a vast number of patients without access to recommended health care services. This disruption to cancer screening services may have a significant impact on patients, health care practitioners, and health systems. In this paper, we aim to offer a comprehensive view of the impact of COVID-19 on cancer screening. We present the challenges COVID-19 has exerted on patients, health care practitioners, and health systems as well as potential opportunities that could help address these challenges.
The Effect of Smartphone App–Based Interventions for Patients With Hypertension: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(Preprint)
Authors: Xu Hongxuan , Long Huanyu
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Hypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of premature death. People with hypertension who do not comply with recommended treatment strategies have a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes, leading to hospitalization and consequently greater health care costs. The smartphone, which is now ubiquitous, offers a convenient tool to aid in the treatment of hypertension through the use of apps targeting lifestyle management, and such app-based interventions have shown promising results. In particular, recent evidence has shown the feasibility, acceptability, and success of digital interventions in changing the behavior of people with chronic conditions.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to systematically compile available evidence to determine the overall effect of smartphone apps on blood pressure control, medication adherence, and lifestyle changes for people with hypertension.

METHODS

This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement guidelines. Databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials related to the influence of an app-based intervention in people with hypertension. Data extracted from the included studies were subjected to a meta-analysis to compare the effects of the smartphone app intervention to a control.

RESULTS

Eight studies with a total of 1657 participants fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Pooled analysis of 6 studies assessing systolic blood pressure showed a significant overall effect in favor of the smartphone intervention (weighted mean difference –2.28, 95% CI –3.90-0.66). Pooled analysis of studies assessing medication adherence demonstrated a significant effect (P<.001) in favor of the intervention group (standard mean difference 0.38, 95% CI 0.26-0.50) with low heterogeneity (I2=0%). No difference between groups was demonstrated with respect to physical activity.

CONCLUSIONS

A smartphone intervention leads to a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in medication adherence for people with hypertension. Future research should focus on the effect of behavior coaching apps on medication adherence, lifestyle change, and blood pressure reduction.

Authors: Seow Hsien , McMillan Kayla , Civak Margaret , Bainbridge Daryl , van der Wal Alison , Haanstra Christa , Goldhar Jodeme , Winemaker Samantha
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

To combat social distancing and stay-at-home restrictions due to COVID-19, Canadian communities began a Facebook social media movement, #Caremongering, to support vulnerable individuals in their communities. Little research has examined the spread and use of #Caremongering to address community health and social needs.

OBJECTIVE

We examined the size and speed at which #Caremongering spread across Canada, the main ways the groups were used, and differences in use by membership size and activity.

METHODS

We searched Facebook Groups using the term “Caremongering” combined with the names of the largest population centres in every province and territory in Canada. We extracted available Facebook analytics on all the groups found, restricted to public groups that operated in English. We further conducted a content analysis of themes from postings in 30 groups using purposive sampling. Group content was qualitatively analyzed to determine consistent themes across the sites and between small and large groups.

RESULTS

The search of Facebook sites across 185 cities yielded 130 unique groups, including groups from all 13 provinces and territories in Canada. Total membership across all groups as of May 4, 2020 was 194,879. The vast majority were formed within days of the global pandemic announcement, two months prior. There were four major themes identified: personal protective equipment, offer, need, and information. Few differences were found between how large and small groups were being used.

CONCLUSIONS

The #Caremongering Facebook groups spread across the entire nation in a matter of days, engaging hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Social media appears to be a useful tool for spreading community-led solutions to address health and social needs.

Analysis Method of Black Liquor Pyrolysis and Gasification Using Deconvolution Technique to Obtain the Real Time Gas Production Profile
Authors: Wintoko Joko , Purwono Suryo , Fahrurrozi Mohammad , Soehendro Bambang
Published: July 2020

In thermal reaction experiments, e.g., pyrolysis, combustion, and gasification, the gas released from the reaction can be analyzed in gas measuring instruments. There will be some time delay due to the relatively long gas travel from the reactor to the analyzers. Besides, there can be some time lag in the gas measuring instrument. Gas dispersion may furthermore occur and thus alter the gas concentration profile. The observed gas concentration, therefore, can be very different from the original gaseous reaction products profile. A mathematical procedure called deconvolution technique will be used to get the original gaseous reaction products concentrations profile. The deconvolution technique is based on the assumption that original data have been altered by a transfer function to yield observed data. By the deconvolution techniques, the transfer function for each data set will be calculated and then can be used to compute the original data. In this study, the deconvolution technique was applied to the concentration profile of gaseous products from black liquor pyrolysis and gasification reactions measured by gas analyzers instruments to obtain the real-time gas concentration profile during the processes. Tracer gases are injected in the reactor To facilitate the deconvolution calculation, and their concentration profiles observed in the measuring instruments are recorded. Gaseous products that are analyzed are CO2, CO, CH4, SO2, and H2S. This technique can successfully provide the real-time gas production concentration profile from the black liquor pyrolysis and gasification reaction. A B S T R A KDalam reaksi termal seperti pirolisis, pembakaran, dan gasifikasi, gas hasil reaksi dapat dianalisis dengan instrumen analisis gas. Akan ada penundaan waktu deteksi karena waktu tempuh dari reaktor ke alat analisis. Ada juga tambahan waktu karena pemrosesan dalam instrumennya. Dispersi gas juga mungkin terjadi yang akan mengubah profil konsentrasi gas.Profil konsentrasi gas yang terdeteksi bisa jadi akan sangat berbeda dengan profil produksi gas yang sebenarnya. Untuk mendapatkan profil konsentrasi yang sebenarnya, dapat digunakan sebuah prosedur matematika yang disebut dekonvolusi. Dalam prosedur ini diasumsikan profil gas telah diubah oleh sebuaf fungsi transfer sehingga menghasilkan profil gas terboservasi. Dengan teknik dekonvolusi, fungsi transfer ini akan dicari sehingga bisa dipergunakan untuk menghitung profil gas sebenarnya.  Dalam penelitian ini profil gas hasil reaksi pirolisis dan gasifikasi lindi hitam yang terdeteksi dalam instrumen analisis gas akan didekonvolusi untuk mendapatkan profil produksi gas yang sebenarnya. Untuk itu sebuah gas pendeteksi diijeksikan ke dalam reaktor dan profil konsentrasinya diukur dengan instrumen analisis. Gas yang dianalisis adalah CO2, CO, CH4, SO2, and H2S. Dengan teknik ini profil produksi gas yang sebenarnya dari reaksi pirolisis dan gasifikasi berhasil diperoleh.

Authors: Mooney James , Self Mitchell , ReFaey Karim , Elsayed Galal , Chagoya Gustavo , Bernstock Joshua D , Johnston James M
Published: July 2020

Sports-related concussion has been examined extensively in collision sports such as football and hockey. However, historically, lower-risk contact sports such as soccer have only more recently garnered increased attention. Here, we review articles examining the epidemiology, injury mechanisms, sex differences, as well as the neurochemical, neurostructural and neurocognitive changes associated with soccer-related concussion. From 436 titles and abstracts, 121 full texts were reviewed with a total of 64 articles identified for inclusion. Concussion rates are higher during competitions and in female athletes with purposeful heading rarely resulting in concussion. Given a lack of high-level studies examining sports-related concussion in soccer, clinicians and scientists must focus research efforts on large-scale data gathering and development of improved technologies to better detect and understand concussion.
La teoría de la imprevisión aplicada a la indemnización por término anticipado de los contratos a plazo y por obra o faena en los casos de necesidad de la empresa
Authors: Monteiro Pessoa Rodrigo
Published: July 2020

In our labor doctrine, there is a discussion regarding the applicability of the cause need of the entrepreneurship as justification for the termination of the work contract-Article 161 of the Specific Code-in fixed-term contracts and contracts for work or service. This interpretative struggle, although minor, does not analyze in a broad way the consequences of the adoption of this causal in the aforementioned atypical contracts. This article aims to argue about this topic and propose practical solutions that, according to Labor Law and Civil Law, can illuminate the doctrine towards the use of the Theory of the Imprevisión in cases of compensation for early termination of atypical contracts and analyze its legal consequences.

Published: July 2020

This In this paper, we define new control functions to give unique fixed point in fuzzy metric space. A fruitful contractive condition of (ψ, ϕ)- type is used to obtain common fixed point theorem for two maps in fuzzy metric spaces. We extend the existing results in metric space to fuzzy metric space using these control functions. The first theorem is the extension of the result of Zhang and Song (2009) under the required contractive conditions. Second result is analogous to the result of Doric (2009) in metric spaces.

The analytical method used was verbal and visual communication semiotics. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively based on the theory from Barthes (1967). In visual signs, the data were analyzed based on the theory proposed by Wierzbicka (1996) to analyze the colors that appear in the signs presented. Based on the analysis of the data, there are three findings which are the results of this study: first, verbal signs that appear in every advertisement, contain connotation and denotation meaning. Second, the visual signs that appear show a number of images that have various meanings in accordance with the context behind the advertisement, even through ads that do not contain verbal signs can provide meaningful messages to the reader. Third, verbal signs and visual signs in addition to being able to support and interpret each other, these two signs can stand alone and show their own meaning of the message to be conveyed to the reader.

Estudio exploratorio y descriptivo, sustentado en la teoría de la Modificabilidad Cognitiva de Reuven Feuerstein (1991), sobre la autopercepción de las funciones cognitivas (FC) de los(as) estudiantes que ingresan a la Universidad de La Serena, Chile.[1]Su desarrollo es crucial para la complejidad del aprendizaje universitario. Se seleccionó una muestra de 112 alumnos que respondieron a una pauta de FC en las tres fases del acto mental: entrada, elaboración, salida. La confiabilidad se calculó por el alpha de Cronbach (0.954) y la validez de constructo se determinó por medio de un análisis factorial confirmatorio. Los hallazgos revelan que independientemente de la carrera a la que ingresan los estudiantes y del año de incorporación a la Educación Superior, hay similitud en la autopercepción de los/as estudiantes sobre el descenso de algunas FC, por ejemplo, precisión y exactitud, atención a dos o más fuentes de información, amplitud del campo mental, transporte visual y desinhibición de la respuesta, las que han sido provocadas por la enseñanza escolarizada. Activar el desarrollo de esas funciones, relevantes para la adquisición de aprendizajes profundos, demanda de sus profesores/as experiencias de aprendizaje mediado (EAM) para que los estudiantes se modifiquen cognitivamente.
EKSPLOITASI PEREMPUAN DALAM PERIKLANAN MENURUT PANDANGAN ISLAM

Perempuan menduduki posisi sekunder tampak dalam jurnalistik televisi terutama melalui saluran iklan. Jumlah karyawan laki-laki yang mengelola siaran televisi jauh lebih banyak daripada karyawan perempuan. Bahkan jika terdapat karyawan perempuan tidak memengang peranan penting yang menentukan kebijakan penerbitan atau penyiaran, penyajian berita, feature dan opini. Dalam iklan komersial pandangan hegemoni laki-laki secara otomatis akan menjadikan perempuan dan daya tarik seksual mereka sebagai objek sehingga ekploitasi sukar untuk dihindari. Terjadinya penyimpangan periklanan seperti menampilkan perempuan dengan pakaian minim, itu diluar konsep dasar dan tatalaksana periklanan yang sesungguhnya. Hal itu karena mengejar keuntungan semata akibat dari persaingan media yang ada dalam meningkatkan ekonomi perusahaan. Sesuai dengan fungsinya, media mampu memberikan pendidikan, menghibur dan mempengaruhi kehidupan masyarakat. Media sebagai penjaga atau pengawal kebenaran, televisi menjalankan fungsinya untuk melakukan sosial control terhadap kesalahan yang terjadi di masyarakat. Berdasarkan kajian Islam bahwa periklanan sebagai sarana penyampaian informasi dapat menyebarkan pesan-pesan dakwah untuk setiap kalangan berupa informasi yang positif. Adapun informasi tersebut seperti informasi perdagangan, pendidikan, kesehatan dan informasi penyiaran agama Islam dan sebagainya. Dari fakta yang ada menunjukkan bahwa arus informasi global hampir seluruhnya tidak seimbang, lebih banyak datang dari budaya barat ke budaya Islam termasuk dalam hal periklanan.

ABSTRAK

Pekerja sosial sangat berperan penting dalam membantu masyarakat untuk mendapatkan perlindungan sosial terutama di dunia industri. Pekerja sosial kerap menjadikan dirinya sebagai pendamping sosial yang hadir sebagai agen perubahan dan turut terlibat membantu memecahkan persoalan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat sekitar perusahaan. Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit PT. Lembah Bhakti yang beroperasi di Aceh Singkil memiliki kewajiban untuk memberdayakan masyarakat terutama yang berbatasan langsung dengan areal usaha yang mereka jalankan. Pada kenyataannya, perusahaan belum mampu sepenuhnya menunaikan tanggungjawab sosialnya secara baik sehingga konflik antara perusahaan dengan masyarakat sekitar kerap terjadi. Persoalan ini muncul disinyalir karena di PT Lembah Bhakti belum menghadirkan seorang pekerja sosial industri yang profesional, sehingga acapkali program-program pemberdayaan yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan tidak disahuti oleh masyarakat dengan baik, bahkan tidak sedikit yang menolaknya.

Islam is a moderate religion that is very close to the dignity of women which is very different from the two religions of its predecessors. In both religions women are considered as a burden in life and very detrimental, women's rights are morally and materially ignored. Like ownership of property, the right to issue testimony, identity is assigned to the husband not to his father. Even as far back as 1956 and perhaps up to now in France and Germany full of women's freedom must obtain the husband's permission to conduct transactions, such as buying and selling, grants from his own property. With library studies and comparative approaches and qualitative methods the author reveals whether Jews and Christians have similarities in their treatment of women in theory and is there a difference between the two religions? Do Islam, Judaism and Christianity in theory give equal treatment to women? Let a Muslim know that there is a gap between the teachings of Islam and the behavior of some Muslims today that are no longer in accordance with Islamic norms. Such behavior does not originate from Islam as a moderate religion.Keywords: Islamic Moderation, In Gender, Comparison, Judaism and Christian.
