Published: January 2025

Sering sekali kita jumpai kegaduhan yang dilakukan anak-anak di masjid. Alih-alih memarahi justru membuat mereka tetap melakukan hal tersebut, bahkan beberapa anak justru menjadi takut untuk datang lagi ke masjid. Sekedar memarahi tanpa memberi contoh dan penjelasan tidak akan merubah apapun dari sikap anak-anak. Memberikan pemahaman dengan cara berdiskusi dengan metode yang tepat, serta diiringi media dengan mengikuti perkembangan zaman akan memudahkan anak menerima materi dengan baik. Di zaman digital kini adalah kesempatan memanfaatkan teknologi untuk mendukung pembelajaran. Pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif merupakan metode yang penulis gunakan dalam penelitian agar dapat memaparkan penelitian secara lebih komprehensif. Kesimpulan pada penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa memberikan pemahaman materi kepada peserta didik tak melulu harus dengan metode ceramah dan media buku. Guru harus bisa berpikir kreatif dalam menyampaikan materi kepada peserta didik dengan menyesuaikan usia dan antusias mereka. Penelitian ini menunjukan tahapan penerapan media digital canva dan penerapan metode diskusi kelompok pada usia kanak-kanak, hasilnya peserta didik justru lebih bersemangat dalam mengikuti pembelajaran dengan media dan metode yang berbeda.

The community service project aimed to assist Pempek Madam Jambi, a micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) in Jambi specializing in authentic Jambi-style pempek. The project addressed marketing and promotion challenges, as the MSME previously relied solely on Instagram and WhatsApp for sales and visibility. The initiative involved creating a website to serve as a marketing, promotional, and informational platform. The development process began with a needs analysis conducted through interviews with the business owner, followed by designing wireframes using Figma, website development via Canva Web, testing, and publishing the website. The website includes features such as a homepage, about us, menu listing, ordering platform, FAQ, articles, and SEO components to enhance product visibility. As a direct outcome, the website significantly improved the business’s digital presence and customer engagement. The project also conducted training involving five participants, including students, on digital marketing and website maintenance, enabling the MSME to sustain the platform independently. The initiative demonstrated a measurable impact, as online visibility increased by 87%, as indicated by user satisfaction feedback during website testing. This project serves as a scalable model for other MSMEs in Jambi, contributing to the broader agenda of MSME digital transformation in Indonesia.

Integrating Machine Learning for Optimal Path Planning
Authors: Xiao Shiru
Published: January 2025

In the area of AI based path planning, the learner is not told which actions to take, as is common in most forms of machine learning. Instead, the learner must discover through trial and error, which actions yield the most rewards. In the most interesting and challenging cases, actions affect not only the immediate rewards but also the next station or subsequent rewards. The characteristics of trial and error searches and delayed reward are two important distinguishing features of RL, which are defined not by characterizing learning methods, but by characterizing a learning problem.
Juridical Analysis of the Postponement of Execution of Inherited Land Due to Error in Objecto in Supreme Court Decision Number 204 K/Pdt/2019
Authors: Debby Parhusip Ewis , Yamin Muhammad , Mulhadi
Published: January 2025

This study examines the juridical and non-juridical obstacles to the execution of court decisions in land inheritance disputes, focusing on error in objecto as highlighted in Supreme Court Decision Number 204 K/Pdt/2019. The case involved a geographical misidentification of the disputed object, which significantly delayed the execution process and hindered the enforcement of the court's ruling. Employing a normative juridical approach, this research utilizes statutory, case, and document analysis to explore the underlying issues. The findings reveal that the primary factors obstructing execution include error in objecto, objections from the judgment debtor, incompetence among law enforcement officers, lack of coordination and support from local government authorities, and the financial burden associated with the execution process. These challenges not only undermine the principle of legal certainty but also perpetuate substantive injustice for litigants. To address these issues, the study proposes preventive measures such as optimizing local inspections (descente), leveraging geospatial technology, and enforcing stricter standards against ambiguous lawsuits (obscuur libel). Corrective measures include the use of judicial review, Supreme Court advisory opinions, and sanctions for negligent judicial officers. By implementing these recommendations, the judiciary can enhance the effectiveness and enforceability of its decisions, ensuring greater legal certainty and fairness in land dispute resolutions.
Overcoming Boundary-Layer Separation with Distributed Propulsion
Authors: Suppes Adam , Suppes Galen , Al-Moameri Harith
Published: January 2025

Strategically located propulsors are able to create constructive interference on aircraft; increasing lift, lift-drag ratios (L/D), and resilience to boundary layer separation.  Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) studies teach toward an optimal configuration with a near-zero upper-surface pitch in front of a trailing section propulsor followed by a trailing taper with 20° to 45° surface pitch from the propulsor to a trailing edge near the bottom of the lifting body (“Lift Span Tech”).  Applications benefiting from Lift Span Tech range from box trucks to high-speed intercontinental transit.  With initial propulsor power mitigating boundary layer separation, Lift Span Tech provides a high gain:loss, where the gain is in reduced drag and loss is reduced thrust from the propulsor.  Performance may be augmented with ground effect further improving L/D efficiency.  This study evaluates the sensitivity of performance to different CFD turbulence models and trailing taper pitches.  While today’s commercial approaches can reduce truck drag by about 34% with no impact on wheel friction, new Lift Span Tech is able to reduce drag by up to 84% and wheel friction by up to 90%.  The technology enables designs to allow direct solar power to fully replace liquid fuels in a wide range of vehicles.

Published: January 2025

Over the past decade, the age-old and peaceful method of membrane preprocessing has seen a markedly accelerated improvement in its usefulness for artificial speech naturalness. Profitable operation of the SWRO process requires a reliable pretreatment method as the main disadvantages are membrane fouling related to particles, organic, inorganic colloids material and organic growth. The older pre-treatment methods like active and particulate filtration are widely used in seawater desalination by RO techniques; there is a growing trend to use ultrafiltration/microfiltration as an alternative to older treatment technologies. Research highlights that both mass-based methods and UF/MF membrane pretreatment techniques offer distinct benefits and limitations. This evaluation shows that, given the excellent condition of the feed water, an appropriate integration of 1 or 2 pretreatment technologies can also be considered justified, as this can benefit from each individual pretreatment.

Role of Landed Elites in the Local Government System of Punjab Especially in District Jhang 2000 to 2016
Authors: Suba khan  , Dr. Muhammad Ikram Ullah
Published: January 2025

This paper examines how the landed elites switch between different prerogatives in the context of the local government system of Punjab – District Jhang (2000-2016). Therefore, to understand the socio-political positions of these elites, their representation in local governance, interference in democratic proceedings and effects on the benefit/welfare of the public, the study employs qualitative research methodologies. Quantitative data were obtained using structured questionnaires and spin-off interviews, while qualitative data were obtained through observations, review of documents and records analysis. The results were presented regarding emergent themes derived from the study findings. The research shows that the political leadership in African cities has, over the years, been held by landed elites who, most of the time, act in their self and class interest and, therefore, are disinterested in the common good, hence lagging infrastructural development. The broader conclusions of this research suggest that their resource control, patronage networks, and electoral hegemony launched them firmly at the helm of governance processes affecting development, often in ways that marginalized disadvantaged populations or favored specific sectors. Moreover, decentralization reforms were meant to empower local communities directly, but as Gloetto and Harvey argue, landed elites were able to domesticate these reforms to deepen their authority, with limited challenges from civil society organizations. Other recommendations include enhancing the anti-reform crusade that would eliminate high degrees of political power held today by the landed elites, such as transparency within the electoral process and participatory budgeting. The research informs power, governance, and rural development in the South Asian context, which presents significant progression for more effective and savoy modes of governance.

In To evaluate the effect of organo – chemical amendments on the growth and yield of Chickpea and physico – chemical characteristics and enzyme activities of soil, a pot experiment was carried out at Department of Soil Science, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan (Pakistan). The detail of treatments are Control, inorganic fertilizer (NPK), Biochar, Compost, Farmyard manure (FYM) and poultry manure. The experiment was laid in randomized complete design. The result showed that various growth, yield and root parameters were significantly affected by the addition of organo - chemical amendments. Significantly, higher value for plant height and root length was recorded 33.95 and 23.99 cm for the treatment of compost and poultry manure respectively. The plant and root fresh and dry weight were non – significantly changed by the application of organo – chemical amendments. The yield parameters showed that number of pod per plant were non – significantly changed, however the nodule count, 100 grain weight and grain yield was significantly increased by the application of amendments. The highest nodule count was recorded in the compost treated pots, while both the 100 grain weight and grain yield was found maximum in the pots receiving commercial NPK fertilizer. Soil pH, Bulk density, Organic matter content were significantly improved by the application of treatments. Alkaline and Acid phosphatase assay showed increase in the activity of both enzymes by application of FYM and other organic and chemical amendments. Also, soil macro – nutrients NPK were significantly enhanced by addition of FYM and NPK. It may be concluded from this research that the organic amendments have significantly influenced the growth, yield parameter of Chickpea, soil properties and enzymes activities.

This study investigates on the prevalence of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and its associated resistance genes on hospital surfaces at the Medicine ward of a hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. In total, 60 surface samples were collected and examined using culturing, biochemical testing, antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), and molecular analysis via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Results indicated that 28 samples (46.7%) were positive for S. aureus. Among these isolates, 46% were mecA positive and 39% were ermC positive. Resistance rates for the drugs were as high as 95% for penicillin, 46% for methicillin, and 39% for erythromycin, whereas the isolates remained susceptible to vancomycin. The findings highlight hospital surfaces, especially high-touch areas such as bed rails and bedside tables, as reservoirs for multidrug-resistant pathogens, posing a significant risk for nosocomial infections. The genetic analysis showed a strong correlation between the presence of mecA and ermC genes and phenotypic resistance patterns, underscoring the role of molecular diagnostics in resistance monitoring. The importance of this study lies in underlining the need for infection control measures to be tightened down at the earliest with routine disinfection of surfaces, more efficient hand hygiene, and antibiotic stewardship programs to limit the rise of MRSA. It further requires public awareness among healthcare staff and visitors for better infection prevention practices. The current study highlights the importance of controlling antimicrobial resistance within healthcare settings for the greater good of patients and society as a whole.

إن خلق التوازن بين السلطات من شأنه أن يكون صمام أمان لضمان تحقيق المساواة بين الأفراد واحترام حقوقهم وحرياتهم فهو من مميزات أركان الدولة الحديثة القانونية، وهذه الدولة التي تتميز بإعطاء خصوصية لكل من السلطة التشريعية والسلطة التنفيذية والسلطة القضائية، وهذا ما سيؤثر على حسن سير مصالح الدولة وحماية حقوق الإنسان ومنع التعسف أو التجاوز بالسلطة. وإن إيجاد التوازن بين السلطات يهدف إلى منع اعتداء لكل سلطة على الأخرى وبوجود هذا التوازن تستطيع كل سلطة إيقاف السلطة الأخرى إذا تجاوزت الحدود والأهداف المحددة لها أو حاولت تجاوز استعمال سلطتها.

L’objectif général de cette étude est de déterminer les facteurs prédisposant à l’adoption de comportement suicidaire chez les jeunes dans les zones de santé de Katoka, Ndesha et Kananga. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que l’âge jeune (15-22 ans) et le sexe féminin prédisposent les jeunes enquêtés à l’adoption du comportement suicidaire. Pour ce qui concerne les facteurs socio-familiaux, les résultats trouvés montrent que le fait de vivre avec les parents séparés, le type d’union familiale et l’existence des problèmes dans la famille constituent les facteurs socio-familiaux qui prédisposent les jeunes enquêtés à l’adoption du comportement suicidaire. En ce qui concerne les facteurs environnementaux, les résultats obtenus indiquent que l’infertilité, la perte précoce d’un être cher, la violence sexuelle, la déception affective et le manque d’identité sociale constituent les facteurs environnementaux qui prédisposent les jeunes enquêtés à l’adoption du comportement suicidaire.

L’objectif général de cette étude d’identifier les déterminants de la prévalence élevée des infections néonatales à l’hôpital général de référence d’Ipamu ; dans la province de Kwilu, en République Démocratique du Congo. Pour réaliser cette étude, nous avons mené une enquête transversale auprès des accouchées suivies en milieu hospitalier d’Ipamu. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que les infections néonatales par suite de travail prolongé et la fièvre maternelle pendant le travail d’accouchement constituent les facteurs maternels qui influencent les infections néonatales, auxquels s’ajoutent le manque de connaissance sur la grossesse, le déroulement de l’accouchement et la prévention des infections néonatales

L’étude a visé d’évaluer le niveau de satisfaction sur la prise en charge de personnes vivant avec VIH/sida à l’HGR/Gemena. Nous avions mené une enquête transversale en recourant aux techniques d’observation non participative. Après traitement et analyse des données collectées, les résultats obtenus montrent une satisfaction des PVVIH sur la prise en charge médicale, suivi d’une partielle satisfaction sur la prise en charge Psychologique et spirituelle. Pour cela, l’intensification de l'accompagnement psychologique, juridique et sociale des PVVIH doit être au coeur de la prise en charge, car ces dernières se sentent perdus et abandonnées à l'annonce des résultats et ne savent pas comment mener une vie positive avec le VIH.
