Generalization of the underwater relief image using the spline approximation method on a vector electronic chart
Authors: Yuyukin I. V.
Published: January 2025

Special attention is paid to the need for reasonable generalization aimed at adequately displaying the characteristic features of the seabed relief profile in accordance with the principle of navigational isosurface in electronic visualization of underwater relief. It is assumed that as a result of generalization of the bottom relief, safety contours can be extracted directly, since they represent traces of a cross-section of the profile of the underwater relief with horizontal planes. A hypothesis has been put forward on the applicability of the B-spline approximation for modeling a safety contour in order to effectively implement a practical guarantee against grounding a ship. A modification of the safety contour based on the control of the smoothness of the constructed curve in the form of bending of a serpentine B-spline structure has been tested. An analysis of the optimality of configuring B-splines on a variable type of supports is carried out with the determination of preference for the cubic case. The straightening of the safety contour focuses on local deformation while maintaining strategic descriptive characteristics. The use of the smoothing procedure on the deep side of the safety contour is justified, provided that the basis points of the synthesized curve are artificially preserved. The data of the author’s computational experiment on the accuracy of calculation by cubic B-splines with a result two orders of magnitude higher than theoretically predicted are presented. It is noted that the technologies of automated processing of bathymetric survey results do not replace the human factor, but provide the potential to unlock new cognitive capabilities of an expert in the transition from lithographic publications to digital cartographic products. The arsenal of basic piecewise approximation is interpreted as the variability of the model of an additive B-spline neural network to provide an incentive for the use of artificial intelligence to generalize contour lines of marine subjects. It is emphasized that the spline technology, by its mathematical architecture, is basically devoid of the computational problem of dimensionality, which serves as an additional factor for the use of piecewise approximation in solving complex navigation tasks.
Experimental study of the effect of the properties of motor oils on the level of torsional vibrations of the shaft line of the Yaroslavets type vessel
Authors: Gorbachev M. M. , Bukin V. G. , Vasiliev A. V.
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of an experimental study of the influence of motor oil properties on the level of torsional vibrations of the propeller shaft of a Yaroslavets-type vessel. The tests were carried out on mooring lines to create the maximum load on the 3D6 main engine using standard MS20 motor oil and oil with copper additives. Torsional vibrations were measured using a certified verified strain gauge complex “Astech Electronics” (Great Britain) installed on the propeller shaft. The study found that the use of oil with copper additives and MS20 oil does not significantly affect the amplitudes of torsional vibrations of the ship’s propeller shaft in the range of crankshaft speeds of the 3D6 main engine from the minimum stable to nominal. It was found that during the startup of the main engine with oil with copper additives, the level of torsional vibrations decreases, which requires research on more powerful marine diesel engines and an assessment of this effect. When using oil with copper additives, a reduction in the overall spectrum of harmonic component amplitude oscillations is achieved, which leads to a positive effect of reducing stress in the crankshaft and gearbox. Torsional vibrations in the elements of the machine-propulsion complex of a Yaroslavets-type vessel when used as a tug do not exceed the permissible values calculated according to the RCO rules, so additional measures to reduce them are not required. Additional experimental studies are needed to assess the effect of lubricating oil with copper additives on the vibroacoustic characteristics of marine diesel engines — vibration level and external noise.
Automating the search for the shortest closed path in transport network by means of MATLAB
Authors: Chertkov A. A. , Nikiforov V. G.
Published: January 2025

The paper considers the problem of automating the search and construction of the shortest closed route for a group of merchant ships on a given set of transit nodes of the transport network with known coordinates. The goal is to find the shortest closed route that passes through all hosts only once and ends at the outgoing node. In general, a weighted graph can serve as a mathematical model of such a transport network, in which the criterion for the efficiency of the desired route can be, for example, the distance between cities or ports, time or operating costs. This allows you to identify time reserves that can be used to save fuel and energy, taking into account the load and cost of goods, travel costs and other factors. The work uses a combinatorial method using stochastic (probabilistic) programming, which is implemented using an annealing simulation algorithm supplemented by a recursive step-by-step optimization procedure. The problem belongs to the class of transcomputational even with a small network dimension, which makes it impossible to solve it by brute force on modern computers in a reasonable time. The proposed modification of the simulated annealing algorithm eliminates this limitation and allows not only to evaluate the shortest paths in the network, but also to build closed paths that pass through all the vertices of the network once. The use of an iterative strategy in the algorithm using a probabilistic scenario according to the Monte Carlo method allows you to avoid the solution falling into the local minimum and provides global optimization. The algorithm is implemented in MATLAB codes in the form of a recursive step-by-step optimization procedure with the construction of a curve of a closed route on the coordinate plane through the entire set of nodes of the transport network without mutual intersections of its sections. It is shown that the result of recursive optimization is to obtain a numerical estimate of the closed path of the minimum weight in the full weighted graph, which is a model of the transport network with the definition of an array of transit node numbers on this route. The developed algorithm and global optimization procedure can be used to automate the search for energy-efficient solutions in the control of robotic and unmanned objects, as well as ships in the performance of cargo transportation in water transport.

Effect of Multimodal App-Based Interventions on Glycemic Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Bodner Emma , Roth Lena , Wiencke Kathleen , Bischoff Christian , Schwarz Peter EH
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Digital technologies for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) care hold great potential to improve patients’ health in the long term. Only a subset of telemedicine offerings are digital interventions that meet the criteria for prescribable digitale Gesundheitsanwendung (digital health apps; DiGAs) in Germany. Digital treatments further provide vast amounts of patient data that are important to generate evidence.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review aims to analyze the efficacy of multimodal digital therapies that mainly meet the DiGA criteria for patients with T2DM and to elicit the potential of such therapies. This includes evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as well as from real-world data. The outcome of interest was a reduction in glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]; long-term blood glucose measurements).

METHODS

A systematic literature search was conducted in the literature bases PubMed, LIVIVO, and Cochrane, based on the predefined PICO (Population; Intervention; Control; Outcome) scheme. Identified studies were assessed for risk of bias, pragmatism, and overall quality of evidence. Meta-analyses were conducted for between group differences using RCTs only, and for within-group differences using RCTs and non-RCTs, to examine the effect of the interventions on HbA1c.

RESULTS

In total, 795 records were identified, of which 24 were eligible for this systematic review and 23 studies were eligible for the meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analyses showed significant and clinically relevant reductions in HbA1c in patients with T2DM. Regarding the between-group difference for HbA1c reduction, the pooled effect of the RCTs showed a reduction of –0.36% (95% CI –0.59% to –0.14%; P<.001), favoring app-based interventions. The average mean within-group reduction in HbA1c was –0.79 (95% CI –1.02 to –0.55), with no significant difference between RCTs (–0.69, 95% CI –1.13 to –0.24) and non-RCTs (–0.87, 95% CI –1.16 to –0.57; P<.01, differences between RCTs and RCTs P=.44). A pragmatism rating showed that both study types were on average (very) pragmatic, that is, close to usual care. However, the overall quality of evidence was low to very low.

CONCLUSIONS

This systematic review shows that digital therapies that mainly meet the DiGA criteria can effectively improve HbA1c in patients with T2DM. The integration of digital health care into usual care holds great potential and should be considered as a complementary option to usual care in the future.

Occupational Infections Among Workers in Europe: Protocol for a Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Dini Guglielmo , Curti Stefania , Rahmani Alborz , Durando Paolo , Mattioli Stefano
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Workers may be exposed to different infectious agents, putting them at risk of developing occupational diseases. This can occur in many ways, through deliberate use of speciﬁc microorganisms or through potential exposure from close contact with biological material. Infection prevention and control measures against biohazards can reduce the risk of infection among workers. During the last few decades, an increasing proportion of workers in Europe have been exposed to infectious biological agents in their workplace. Knowledge gaps on this topic in Europe have limited our understanding of the overall phenomenon in occupational settings.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to understand the extent and type of evidence on the epidemiology of occupational or work-related infections caused by bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitical agents in European countries, the factors affecting their occurrence among workers, and the burden of disease among workers due to occupational risk.

METHODS

The review will be conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. This review will consider studies that include data on the epidemiology of occupational infections, risk factors and determinants, and burden of disease among workers employed in specific occupational sectors in European countries in the period 2010-2023. The search will include MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Independent reviewers (including GD, SC, AR, PD, and SM) will screen the titles, abstracts, and full texts of the selected studies. Data extraction will be performed using a tool developed by the researchers. The data will be mapped and analyzed according to the type of extracted data.

RESULTS

The literature search through different scientific databases started in April 2024 and is expected to be completed by December 2024. The findings will be extracted using an ad hoc data extraction tool, and relevant results will be presented in narrative and tabular form.

CONCLUSIONS

This scoping review aims to provide rigorous evidence to fill the knowledge gap in the epidemiology of occupational or work-related infections in European countries, the factors affecting their occurrence, and the burden of disease in different professional settings. Such findings could improve the understanding of this complex occupational phenomenon in the European context, enabling more accurate and up-to-date surveillance of infections incurred in the workplace.

Population-Level Dissemination of a Smoking Cessation Smartphone App: Comparison of Values-Based Messages in Social Media Advertisements (Preprint)
Authors: Bricker Jonathan B , Santiago-Torres Margarita , Mull Kristin E , Sullivan Brianna M , Mehrotra Ravi
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Cigarette smoking is prevalent in many countries worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries, presenting an urgent public health challenge. Disseminating freely available smoking cessation treatments that effectively decrease cigarette smoking globally are urgently needed.

OBJECTIVE

Identify the highest impact and most cost-effective values-based social media advertisements (ads) to disseminate our smoking cessation smartphone application (app), “iCanQuit”, among adults living in seven major cities of India. Values represented in the ads included family, relationships, self-care, health, and self-control.

METHODS

Ad exposure impact on app engagement was measured via several metrics, including click-through rate (CTR, i.e., the likelihood of user clicks on an ad after seeing it), the number of app installs (i.e., a user opening the app for the first time after downloading it), and the number of app sessions (i.e., app utilization). Cost efficiency was measured via cost per click and cost per install for each ad.

RESULTS

Overall, the CTR was 5%. The app was installed 5,111 times. The average cost per click and cost per app install across all ads were $0.006 and $6.43, respectively. The ads with the lowest cost per install (range: $4.83 to $5.16) and highest CTR (between 6% and 9%) focused on the values of family, health, and self-control. Ads focused on the values of relationships and self-care had modestly higher levels of engagement.

CONCLUSIONS

Ads focusing on the values of family, health, and self-control had the highest potential reach at the lowest cost. Overall, these findings provide insights into the reach and cost-effectiveness of values-based messages in social media advertisement, guiding future outreach efforts for population-level dissemination of smoking cessation apps.

BACKGROUND

Digital skills training in health is crucial to ensure that the healthcare workforce is equipped to leverage the potential of digital technologies in delivering efficient and effective care. Identifying the existing training programs can be valuable to describe gaps and opportunities for acceleration in the digital age.

OBJECTIVE

The mapping of the existing continuous education and professional development training options in digital skills in health and their assessment was the aim of this study.

METHODS

As part of the EU funded project entitled “TRANSiTION” - Digital TRANSition and dIgiTal resiIlience in Oncology, an expert-based approach was implemented for identifying training programmes in 14 European Countries. The data was collected via an online survey that was developed for the purpose of this study, and was consisted of twenty-three questions which were catecorised in five domains (general information, reaction, learning, behaviour, and results). The analysis was performed by using Kirkpatrick’s four levels model and the Digital Competence Framework for Citizens.

RESULTS

The analysis of the data showed that in a percentage of 39.6% there is no official training in digital skills for the healthcare workforce, even the fact in the 95.8% of the cases digital solutions were used in the daily practice. Countries scored lower than the mean in the overall performance status according to the Kirkpatrick’s model that reflects the gap in knowledge and skills of HCPs and health managers. The quality of the programmes was poor and the evaluation reflects the great need and the gaps in health workforce’s education in digital skills and health technologies application in practice.

CONCLUSIONS

There was variance in the availability and quality of digital skills training across Europe. The development of a comprehensive training programme targeted to improve HCPs and health managers knowledge and skills but also digital tools incorporation into practice is crucial.

EXCEPTION FROM THE SUBSIDIARITY OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COMPLAINT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
Authors: Rajić Nataša
Published: January 2025

Subsidiarity is one of the essential features of the constitutional complaint as an extraordinary legal remedy for the protection of human rights. The subject matter of this paper is the exception from the subsidiarity of the constitutional complaint in the Republic of Serbia. According to the hitherto constitutional practice, this exception has been established twice, both times by a piece of ordinary legislation. In 2007, it was set in favor of the right to a trial within a reasonable time, in general terms. In 2023, it was established in favor of the same right but in narrower terms. Although such legislative action may be justified from the perspective of constant adjustment of the national human rights’ protection system to the international one, it is not acceptable from the constitutional point of view. In other words, the current constitutional framework is not flexible enough to justify the exception from the subsidiarity of the constitutional complaint by a piece of ordinary legislation, regardless of how appropriate the establishment of this exception may be as a systemic measure in the context of implementation of the ECtHR judgments.
LEGAL STANDING AND VICTIM STATUS OF INDIVIDUALS AND ASSOCIATIONS AFTER THE ‘KLIMASENIORINNEN’ CASE
Authors: Auner Alfred Benny
Published: January 2025

In its judgment Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others, the ECtHR created a positive obligation for Contracting States under Article 8 ECHR to protect individuals from the serious adverse effects of climate change. In order to prevent universal public access to the ECtHR (actio popularis), which has only a subsidiary role in the protection of fundamental rights, the Court developed new criteria for the legal standing and the victim status of applicants, and came to a peculiar conclusion: while associations are generally granted legal standing and can act before the ECtHR, their individual members are largely denied the victim status and, therefore, cannot bring an application before the Court (Article 34 ECHR). In this article, the author will critically analyse the criteria and findings of the Court on legal standing and victim status in light of the Convention and the settled case law.
QKRK FACTORIZATION FOR IMAGE COMPRESSION
Authors: Eckenberg Erik , Tunyan Knarik
Published: January 2025

We store and exchange more digital images than ever before. Image qualities are often reduced to decrease the cost of storage and transfer of the images. Digital image compression is a technique that reduces the size of an image while preserving its quality to be acceptable for a particular purpose. Matrix factorizations are widely used for this purpose. This paper presents an application of the QKRK and block QKRK factorizations of a matrix to image compression. We have conducted a series of experiments using Matlab software. This paper presents the comparative analysis of the compressed images using the QR, SV D, QKRK, and block QKRK factorizations. The similarity between the original and compressed images is measured using the L2-norm and structural similarity. It is demonstrated that using the QKRK factorization for image compression allows the achievement of the desired quality of a fragment of the image compared to the rest of the image and is also computationally efficient.

In this paper, we convert some of the conformable fractional differential equations (CFDEs) into ordinary differential equations using the fractional Laplace transform. The fractional Laplace transform introduced by Abdeljawad are investigated by other authors. The fractional Laplace transform method is developed to get the exact solution of conformable fractional differential equations. Our paper,s aim is to convert the conformable fractional differential equations into ordinary differential equations. This is done using the fractional Laplace transformation of (α + β) or (α + β + γ) order. Furthermore, a new definition of fractional Laplace transformation is introduced. We do not need the initial value of function at t = a.

THE WILLMORE ENERGY VARIATIONS AND ENERGY EFFICIENT ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Cvetković Milica D. , Mitrović Ana D.
Published: January 2025

Since the shape is an important feature of objects and can be immensely useful in characterizing objects, it should point out the shape analysis considering the variation of magnitudes that characterize the shape itself. One of the fundamental functionals that measure the bending of a surface is the Willmore energy. In view of the meaning of ruled surfaces in aesthetics, statics, scale and manufacturing technologies, we point out the possibility of a mathematical analysis in the case of infinitesimal deformations by considering the variations of the Willmore energy on Gaudi surface under infinitesimal bending in R3. Application could be connected with energy efficient building design.
EFFECTIVENESS OF VIDEO-RECORDED PRESENTATIONS ON STUDENTS’ PREPARATIONS IN LEGAL ENGLISH CLASSES
Authors: Huong Lan Nguyen Thi
Published: January 2025

In contrast to numerous other occupations, lawyers are required to possess proficient communication skills. This is crucial as their job involves direct interaction with clients that cannot be substituted by artificial intelligence. Therefore, university courses place a strong emphasis on the development of self-competence. This experience instills in individuals a sense of confidence, professionalism, and decency, so enhancing their prospects for achieving success in the legal field. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of video-recorded presentations on students' readiness for group presentations in legal English classrooms. The present study sought to examine if engaging in this particular activity could enhance students' preparedness and foster habitual behavior. In the context of legal English classes, students focus on certain areas in order to deliver a refined and proficient performance. The research comprised a sample of 116 undergraduate students majoring in legal English from the Faculty of Legal Foreign Language at Hanoi Law University. At the commencement of the course, all participants were informed that their group assignment presentations would be recorded on video, which was a novel stipulation. The findings indicate that students should prioritize aspects such as presentation organization, topic selection, language proficiency, and delivery skills in order to achieve success in front of the camera. The analysis of the focus group data further revealed that participants who were informed about the necessity for their actions to be documented expressed a need for additional time to adequately prepare and engage in collaborative efforts. The researcher anticipates that this study will contribute to the existing body of research on the utilization of video-recording in English language instruction.
ESP AS A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO EDUCATION - CLASSROOM PRACTICE ILLUSTRATION
Authors: Wang Song , Stojković Nadežda
Published: January 2025

The authors advocate major change in the conceptualisation of English for Specific Purposes courses. While the foundational premise of any ESP instruction is highly focused on a particular professional/scientific field and thus narrow as opposed to the concept of language as an ontology, we hereby claim that an ESP course can be successful in its preset outcome and at the same time significantly upgraded towards the notion of language as a tool for not only expressing the fullness of being, but also as a language instruction methodology that significantly improves mental capabilities and social awareness in students. ESP understood and practiced as a narrow, focused approach to language teaching does not necessarily pay attention to the development of any other intellectual or psychological aspect of a student. Authors disagree with the educational policies that proclaim particularised knowledge output of language studying process. We show that with appropriate teaching methodology the teaching of ESP can be (re)turned to holistic education that is the innate nature of language.
Enhancing Adoption Intensity: Exploring the Nexus between Climate Information Access and Climate-Smart Adaptation Practices among Smallholder Farmers in Ghana
Authors: Alidu Abdul-Fatahi , Man Norsida
Published: January 2025

Globally, climate change is a significant development challenge. Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change because of the region’s low adaptive capacity and its excessive reliance on rain-fed agriculture for food security and livelihood. Climate information accessibility is promoted to improve smallholder farmers’ adoption intensity of climate-smart adaptation practices. The object of this research is to examine climate information access as a driver of climate-smart adaptation practices. This study utilized primary data from 475 smallholder farmers in the Northern Region of Ghana. The Endogenous-Switching Poisson regression model was fitted to examine the determinants of access to climate information and the subsequent effect of access to climate information on climate-smart adaptation practices adoption intensity. According to the study, access to climate information is endogenous and is influenced positively by gender, farming experience, off-farm income and the number of times smallholder farmers listen to the radio. Age, farm income, access to extension, education, off-farm income, farm experience, perception of temperature and Access to climate information thus had a significant influence on the adoption intensity of smallholder farmers’ climate-smart adaptation practices. Based on these results, we suggest that climate change and agricultural programs should encourage smallholder farmers' subscription to access climate information in promoting the adoption of numerous climate-smart adaptation practices. To provide climate information to smallholder farmers in this situation, extension agents should be the main targets. The large effect of income that is both farm and off-farm income on the rate of climate-smart adaptation practices adoption is one of the study’s key findings. We contend that agricultural programmes should include ways to improve both farm and off-farm income of smallholder farmers to enable them to intensify their climate-smart adaptation practices adoption.

La ontogenia lacustre: un vistazo a la evolución de los lagos
Authors: Olivares-Casillas Gustavo
Published: January 2025

Las dinámicas ambientales de los lagos están en constante evolución debido a la influencia de agentes externos que pueden ser regionales, como el clima, o locales, como las actividades humanas. La “ontogenia lacustre” hace referencia al proceso de transformación de un lago, que puede manifestarse como cambios en el estado trófico o la transición a otro tipo de ecosistema. En la Península de Yucatán el incremento del nivel del mar, los cambios regionales en el ciclo del agua, y la larga ocupación humana han sido mecanismos de forzamiento en la evolución de los sistemas lacustres durante los últimos 10 000 años. La región del sureste de México sirve como un laboratorio natural para abordar cómo han cambiado los sistemas lacustres (aguadas , cenotes, lagunas costeras) debido a causas naturales y/o antropogénicas. Se elaboró un video para explicar el término “ontogenia lacustre” y las causas que propician los cambios en los lagos. El objetivo es trasmitir a un público general los conceptos básicos del origen, la formación, el funcionamiento y la importancia social que rodea a estos sistemas acuáticos.

Published: January 2025

La colección Escritos de Mujeres siglos XVI al XX tiene como propósito poner a disposición del público lector, en cuidadas ediciones, las obras que escribieron las mujeres del pasado. Recuperamos valiosas aportaciones a nuestra tradición cultural hasta ahora poco conocidas. Las autoras incluidas pertenecieron a diversos estratos sociales y tenían variados estados civiles; los temas de cada texto son diversos, así como sus formatos. La mayoría de los escritos son de puño y letra de las autoras, aunque algunos son copias o textos dictados a terceros.

María Coleta era originaria de Oaxaca, donde ingresó, a la edad de 23 años, al convento del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús de la orden de las Descalzas. Aprendió a leer y a escribir de manera autodidacta. Redactó sus Cartas entre 1749 y 1756, en las que muestra una constante experimentación, un juego único en el que Dios acompaña su escritura. Las Cartas de esta “indigna capuchina”, como ella se nombra, transmiten la riqueza espiritual de las mujeres que vivieron durante el siglo XVIII novohispano. La escritura libre de sor María Coleta nos enlaza con la trama de una larga genealogía de experiencias místicas femeninas heredada de Teresa de Jesús, Catalina de Alejandría, María la Antigua, santa Coleta y María de Jesús de Ágreda, a quienes la escritora menciona.
LEGAL PROTECTION OF THE BUR'AM TRADITIONAL MUSIC COMMUNITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC ECONOMIC LAW
Authors: Muhammad Aulia Kahfi
Published: January 2025

This research aims to analyse the form of dispute and settlement over the similarity of the name and quality of the Bur'am Banda Aceh Traditional Music Community, as well as the legal certainty of the Community's name rights in the perspective of haq ibtikar. Bur'am Music Community, which was first established in Banda Aceh, has become an icon of Acehnese traditional art through the use of rapai instruments. However, the name Bur'am is also used by other communities in various regions, such as Bireuen, Sabang, and Yogyakarta, raising concerns regarding the clarity of the origin and original creator of this community. The research approach used is empirical juridical with a descriptive type of analysis and data collected through interviews and documentation. The results show that name similarity disputes can be resolved through mediation by emphasising the history of the establishment and the identity of the founders. If mediation is fruitless, registration of the name Bur'am as a copyright or trademark becomes a necessary legal step to provide exclusive protection to the name. From the perspective of haq ibtikar, the name Bur'am meets the criteria of originality, creativity, and usefulness and thus deserves to be recognised as intellectual property equivalent to property in Islamic law. This recognition supports the preservation of Acehnese traditional arts and prevents potential conflicts in the future. The legal protection of the Bur'am name not only protects the rights of the creator but also ensures the authenticity and identity of Acehnese traditional art as a valuable cultural heritage.

Jamaluddin al-Afghani merupakan seorang tokoh pembaharu islam yang hidup pada abad ke-19. Al-Afghani mengusung konsep Pan-Islamisme, yaitu persatuan islam untuk menumbuhkan semangat persaudaraan islam (ukhuwah islāmiyah) ditengah kemunduran islam karna ummat yang terpecah. Dalam perkembangannya, konsep Pan-Islamisme berhasil tersebar ke banyak negara di dunia, bahkan hingga Indonesia. Aceh merupakan salah satu provinsi di Indonesia, yang memiliki keistimewaan untuk menegakkan Syariat Islam secara menyeluruh. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk melihat relevansi antara konsep penerapan Syariat Islam di Aceh dan konsep Pan-Islamisme yang diperkenalkan oleh al-Afghani. Metode yang digunakan adalah  kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis historis, kemudian jenis penilitian yang dilakukan adalah studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat dua relevansi antara konsep penerapan Syariat Islam di Aceh dengan konsep Pan-Islamisme Jamaluddin al-Afghani, yaitu sama-sama menghendaki kesatuan paham keislaman agar terciptanya suatu persatuan dan juga praktik mengedepankan ukhuwah islāmiyah sebagai landasan persatuan.

Aceh sebagai daerah istimewa melalui Qanun Nomor 8 tahun 2009 tentang Pemerintahan Mukim, terkait dengan peran mukim dalam menyelesaikan sengketa tapal batas tanah di kemukiman Silang Cadek. Mukim sebagai penyelesai sengketa di dalam masyarakat dan sebagai tokoh utama dalam pembuat keputusan dalam menyelesaikan sengketa yang terjadi, sehingga pengambilan keputusan nantinya menjadi pemecahan masalah yang dihadapi, dapat diselesaikan dengan tegas dan memberikan setiap jawaban atas permasalahan dan tindakan apa yang harus dilakukan selanjutnya. Tak terkecuali pemerintahan mukim yang ada kemukiman Silang Cadek. Imeum mukim juga harus mampu menyelesaikan setiap persoalan dan permasalahan yang muncul di wilayahnya dapat diselesaikan dengan baik. Permasalahan yang diangkat dalam skripsi ini adalah bagaimana peran mukim dalam menyelesaikan sengketa tapal batas tanah di kemukiman Silang Cadek kecamatan baitussalam kabupaten Aceh Besar, dan bagaimana tinjauan konsep syura terhadap peran mukim dalam menyelesaikan sengketa tapal batas tanah di kemukiman Silang Cadek. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lapangan dengan metode wawancara dan dokumentasi. Dari hasil penelitian ini, peran imeum mukim Silang Cadek dalam menyelesaikan sengketa tapal batas tanah antara gampong Baet dan gampong Blangkrueng masih belum maksimal, dimana tidak adanya langkah-langkah kongkrit atau penuntasan dalam menyelesaikan sengketa tersebut. Dalam hukum islam syura adalah salah satu cara menyelesaikan masalah atau sengketa, di dalam penyelesaian sengketa ini mukim menyelesaikannya dengan konsep syura (musyawarah), namun penyelesaian sengketa tersebut belum berakhir damai sampai sekarang, dikarenakan adanya ego masing-masing gampong dan tidak adanya keputusan yang ditetapkan oleh imeum mukim. Ditinjau dari konsep syura seorang pemimpin berhak membuat keputusan dan menetapkan suatu penyelesaian yang sudah di musyawarahkan. Sebagai pemimpin dalam konsep syura harus mempunyai suatu kemampuan yang melekat pada dirinya untuk melakukan kewajibannya sebagai fungsi kepemimpinan penentu arah tujuan, menyelesaikan tugas, pimpinan juga harus memiliki sikap tegas dalam mengambil keputusan.
SYARICAH; SOLUSI MUSLIHAT MEMBANGUN BANGSA: BERANJAK DARI PENGALAMAN ACEH
Authors: Yusuf Adan Hasanuddin

Membangun bangsa dengan kebijakan Jakarta sebagai ibukota Indonesia sudah terbukti gagal dan tidak berkesinambungan dari dulu sampai sekarang dalam perspektif syari’ah. Untuk itu perlu ada antisipasi awal pembangunan bangsa dengan konsep syaricah yang syumul dan kaffah. Sejarah sudah membuktikan bahwa pembangunan bangsa dengan syaricah dapat memunculkan negeri ini di dunia internasional, bahkan khusus untuk Aceh pernah menjadi salah satu negara super power dunia di zaman Sultan Iskandar Muda dahulu kala berbarengan dengan kerajaan Turki Usmani, kerajaan Isfahan, kerajaan Mongul dan kerajaan Akra. Mengingat kondisi seumpama itu maka sangatlah perlu pembangunan bangsa kedepan harus dengan konsep syaricah seratus persen, sebab bangsa ini sudah sangat ambruk dalam berbagai dimensi kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara selama wujud wilayah Indonesia. Syaricah menawarkan sistem pembangunan dua arah untuk bangsa; pertama arah yang memihak kepada khaliq sebagai creator dan kedua yang mengarah kepada human being sebagai makhluq. Arah pertama menganjurkan kita untuk membangun bangsa dengan mengikuti rambu-rambu ‘aqidah, syaricah, dan akhlaq, sehingga pembangunan bangsa kedepan tidak ada satu komponen masyarakatpun yang merasa dirugikan. Sementara arah kedua menawarkan nilai ukhuwwah, nilai mu’amalah dan nilai siyasah menjadi pegangan sehingga hasil dari pembangunan bangsa kedepan memenuhi persyaratan yang ditawarkan Al-Qur’an, yakni; ḥablumminallāh wa ḥablumminannās. paper ini disajikan mengikut metodologi kualitatif yang menggambarkan rumusan-rumusan dan format pembangunan bangsa kedepan dengan dua dimensi; dimensi khaliq dan dimensi makhluq. Teknik pengumpulan data lebih diutamakan melalui perpustakaan (library research). Kepada para penguasa negeri ini kapan saja mereka berkuasa kami anjurkan untuk membangun bangsa kedepan dengan konsep pembangunan syaricah.
