This paper aims to assess good governance and development nexus based on the Theory of Maqāsid al Sharī’ah (TMS). The central hypothesis of the paper is that good governance; with a specific focus on human rights and social justice has a significant relationship with human development including factors like education, health, and income all emerging from of the essentials of Sharī’ah. The paper employed survey questionnaire to collect data from 384 respondents comprising Muslims in South-western Nigeria. A stratified random sampling technique was used. The findings show that TMS is effective in predicting the direction of relationship between good governance and human development. The findings further show that the model is invariant across gender groups. This paper highlights the applicability of the constructs of TMS model into human development research. It also recommends strategic policy direction for the policymakers.

The Different of Finger Handheld and Deep Breathing Relaxation Techniques Effect on Reducing Heart Rate and Stress Levels in Primary Hypertension Patients
Authors: Upoyo Arif Setyo , Taufik Agis 
Published: November 2019

Stress and hypertension have a reciprocal relationship where hypertension can increase stress, and stress will also increase blood pressure. Therefore we need an effort to control stress in patients with hypertension to prevent increasing blood pressure that can cause complications such as congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The study aimed to determine the difference between finger handheld and deep breathing relaxation techniques to decrease heart rate and stress levels of primary hypertension patients. The research design used a quasi-experimental design. The research was conducted in Kembaran and East Purwokerto District, Banyumas, Indonesia. There were 50 respondents (25 finger handheld relaxation group and 25 respondents in deep breathing relaxation group). Heart rate and stress levels were measured before and after treatment using heart rate (HR) recordings on digital tensimeter and Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS). Data analyzed using a paired t-test and independent t-test. The results showed there were significant differences in HR and stress levels before and after finger handheld relaxation (p = 0,000). There were significant differences in HR (p = 0.010) and significant levels of stress (p = 0.000) before and after deep breathing relaxation. There was a significant difference in HR (p = 0.02) but there was no significant difference in stress levels (p = 0.23) after treatment (post-test) between those who received finger handheld and deep breathing relaxation techniques. Conclusion: finger handheld and deep breathing relaxation techniques are equally effective in reducing stress levels in primary hypertension patients. Finger handheld relaxation technique is more effective in reducing HR than a deep breathing relaxation technique.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are assumed to be one of the key contributors to the country’s economic growth and social welfare. Thus, their internationalisation appears to be inevitable considering how globalisation processes have changed the rules of competition in recent decades. Smart and digitalised technologies (Internet of Things and Services, etc.) decentralise communication and provide the opportunities for new firms to overcome the barriers of geographical location and access international markets through co-creation business models and changes of the value chains. The paper aims at analysing and disclosing how the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) influences SME internationalisation. The present study is grounded on the research of extant scientific literature and assessment of experts. The research demonstrates that Industry 4.0 positively influences the internationalisation of SMEs on a number of dimensions. The recommendations for managers and policymakers how to foster internationalisation of SMEs are suggested.
Why Cash Transfer Programs Can Both Stimulate and Slow Down Job Finding
Authors: Vargas Juliana Mesén , Linden Bruno Van der 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This article analyzes the behavioral effects of cash transfer programs when jobless people need to have access to a minimum consumption level. Our model reconciles recent evidence about negligible or favorable effects of cash transfers on job-finding rates and the more standard view of negative effects. When unemployment compensation, if any, is low enough, we argue that cash transfer programs can raise the hiring probability. Our framework is flexible enough to generate the standard conclusion as well. Looking specifically at unemployment compensation, its optimal level is generally higher than when a lower bound on consumption is ignored.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
We studied the genetic composition of 200 pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) trees at nine nuclear microsatellite gene loci. We sampled nine locations in an area of 1100 km by 400 km in the South-Ural. The question was to analyse the genetic differentiation of the oaks at the south-east edge of the species distribution area. We observed relatively high values of genetic differentiation and fixation (delta=0.387, F

ST
=0.0652, F

ST(Hedrick)
=0.407) compared to values from the centre of the species distribution range. Bayesian clustering analysis revealed three genetic groups. Presence of all genetic groups was detected at all locations, but oak trees in the extreme east of the Ural Mountains were genetically most different. We hypothesise that genetic drift influenced the observed pattern.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
A retinal detachment is the term used to describe detachment of the neurosensory retina from the underlying membrane, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Rhegmatogenous detachments are caused by a break in the retina through which fluid passes from the vitreous cavity into the subretinal space. The incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the general population in Europe is 1 in 10 000 persons per year. Danger is the greatest in the age range from 55 to 70 years. Without treatment, blindness in the affected eye may occur. Individual risks depend on the presence or absence of specific factors including myopia, positive family anamnesis, retina rupture, trauma, ablation in the other eye, ablation in a vitreous body, retina high-risk peripheral de-generations and vitreoretinal degenerations. Majority of the untreated rhegmatogenous retina ablations progress to the subtotal or total retinal detachment and blindness. This paper describes a very rare case of the spontaneous complete reattachment of the sensory retina to the retinal pigment epithelium in a patient with the total rhegmatogenous retinal ablation in the right eye. The female patient, who was 52 years old, was examined by an Ophthalmologist after she had experienced a sudden loss of vision, 2 months before appointment. After a detailed ophthalmological examination, a total rhegmatogenous retinal ablation of the right eye was diagnosed. The best corrected visual acuity, evaluated on a Snellen chart, was 2/60. The patient was referred to a tertiary-level Institution since a surgical intervention of the ablation was needed. Due to technical inabilities in the above-mentioned Institution, the operation was not performed, and despite the recommendation to perform the intervention in another tertiary level Institution, the patient did not have ophthalmological examinations during the following three months. During the next visit, the Ophthalmologist determined that there was a spontaneous retinal fixation on the retinal pigment epithelium and a partial restoration of the visual function of the affected eye which was evaluated at 0.5.

Published: November 2019

Musik metal terkait dengan isu kekerasan, pemberontakan, kesewenang-wenangan. Oleh karenanya, band metal juga lekat dengan citra-citra itu. Namun demikian, Purgatory, band metal dari Jakarta, mencoba memunculkan citra yang berbeda. Mereka mengusung nilai-nilai religius islami dalam karya musik dan pertunjukannya. Dalam tulisan ini, penulis berupaya untuk memahami cara band ini tetap memiliki penggemar dengan isu-isu yang diusung tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan etnografi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi-partisipasi. Penulis mengikuti dalam peristiwa-persitiwa pementasan musik metal dan juga berbagai aktivitas yang mengelilinginya. Berdasarkan penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada tiga dimensi persepsi estetika yaitu mengusung nilai-nilai religius Islami, memiliki kekhasan yang menampilkan ciri musik metal, dan mensyiarkan nilai-nilai kebaikan yang mendorong Mogerz, yakni para penggemar Purgatory tetap tertarik dengan band itu dan musiknya. Metal Music and Islamic Religious Values: The Aesthetics Review of Islamic Music in Purgatory Performance. Metal music is closely related to violence, rebellion, and abuse. Therefore, the metal band is also associated with those images. Purgatory, a metal band in Jakarta, however, is trying to establish a distinctive image to those of metal bands in common. They are to promote Islamic religious values in their music and performances. In this paper, the writers seek to understand how this band remains having their fans with these issues. This study uses an ethnographic approach. Data collection is carried out by doing the participatory observation. The writers actively got involved in the metal music performances and also other various activities. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there are three dimensions of the aesthetics perceptions, i.e. carrying Islamic religious values, having a characteristic that displays the characteristics of metal music, and broadcasting good values that support Mogerz, fans of Purgatory, to keep on attracted to the band and their music.Keywords: Islamic metal music; purgatory; mogers

Setting: Supportive living and assisted living memory care facilities in a rural West-Central Illinois county.
Objectives: 1) Evaluate the impact of active pharmacist participation on patient care for residents living in supportive and assisted living facilities, 2) demonstrate feasibility and financial sustainability of rural community pharmacists providing disease state management services, 3) create processes for best practice to expand the clinical role of the community pharmacist
Design: Case study.
Interventions: Participating residents received disease state management services provided by a community pharmacist as outlined through collaborative practice agreements with local physicians. The disease states managed included hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and warfarin anticoagulation therapy. The pharmacist completed an initial chart review, initial face-to-face visit, subsequent monthly chart reviews, and monthly face-to-face visits with each resident.
Results: During the 6-month period of community pharmacist management, 86 face-to-face visits were completed to deliver a median of 5 visits per resident. The pharmacist identified 23 drug therapy problems with recommended solutions communicated to the resident’s primary care provider. Providers accepted 19 of these recommendations, reflecting an 82.6% acceptance rate.
Conclusions: Community pharmacists can feasibly implement enhanced clinical services to assist with disease state management of supportive living and assisted living residents in collaboration with physicians. Pharmacists can provide clinical assessment, education and effective communication to optimize medication management and utilization.

A Great Game in Greater Central Asia
Authors: Glantz M. H. 
Published: November 2019

The region historically referred to as Soviet Central Asia includes the 5 Central Asian Republics (CARs) of the Former Soviet Union (FSU): Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Their political status changed drastically when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and they became independent republics. Since the early 1990s, Central Asian leaders have referred on occasion to neighboring Afghanistan as the sixth CAR. In fact, it does occupy 14% of the Aral Sea Basin and its mountains supply about 15% of streamflow to the region’s mighty Amu Darya River that used to flow into Central Asia’s Aral Sea.

Authors: Bistrina M. G. 
Published: November 2019

The policy of Bulgaria in the Black Sea region plays an important role for the future development of the country, as well as for the development of the region as a whole. The inability to develop a national strategy aggravates a number of problems in terms of the strategic use of the resources of the Black Sea, leads to enormous losses for the country. At the present time, Bulgaria is implementing a number of policies in the Black Sea region — such as energy, trade, traffic and security, protection of the surrounding environment, regional cooperation, etc. To effectively overcome the many problems in the Black Sea region, it is necessary first of all to take collective actions that will help overcome two obstacles: the EU’s interests in the Black Sea region and Bulgaria’s ability to defend its national interests, not adhering to the EU’s common policy.At the moment, the European Union is intensifying its efforts to create an effective policy in order to enter the Black Sea region and become one of the main players. We should not forget the interests of other Great Powers like Russia and The United States.

ЭЛЕКТРОННЫЕ ДЕНЬГИ КАК ЭЛЕМЕНТ ДЕНЕЖНО-КРЕДИТНОЙ СИСТЕМЫ. СТАТИСТИЧЕСКИЙ АНАЛИЗ КУРСА БИТКОЙНА
Authors: Абдулазизова Элиза Аптиевна , Бачаев Умар Аптиевич 
Published: November 2019

Цель работы. Показать, что электронные деньги являются частью денежно-кредитной системы, которая появилась относительно недавно. Провести статистический анализ курса криптовалюты, а именно биткойна. Метод или методология проведения работы. В работе с помощью программы Python Jupyter Notebook проведён анализ курса биткойна, а именно проверка гипотез с помощью критерия согласия Колмогорова-Смирнова. Результаты. В работе показано, что электронные деньги являются частью денежно-кредитной системы. Показано, что, как и наличные, электронные деньги выполняют пять основных функций: мера стоимости, средство обращения, средство платежа, средство накопления, мировые деньги. Выделены две тенденции влияния цифровых денег на благосостояние населения: положительная тенденция, т. е. увеличение благосостояния, и, наоборот, отрицательная – ухудшение благосостояния. Статистический анализ биткойна показал, что изменение курса валюты подчиняется не нормальному закону. Данный процесс оказался динамичным, и для его оценки необходимо использовать другой, более сложный закон распределения. Область применения результатов. Полученные результаты можно использовать для дальнейшего исследования курса криптовалюты, а также для статистического сравнения биткойна с иной электронной валютой. Выводы. Таким образом, с развитием современных динамических технологий следует прибегать к более сложным законам статистики, отличным от нормальных. Важно отметить, что данная сфера остается еще до конца не изученной и требует дальнейшего исследования.

Цель работы. Рассматриваются исторический опыт и особенности трансформации социально-экономической системы, а также структуры органов власти в Республике Дагестан в период распада СССР и становления новой государственности Российской Федерации и ее регионов. Метод или методология проведения работы. Проведен сравнительный статистический анализ состояния экономики и уровня жизни населения. Результаты. После распада СССР процесс рыночной трансформации социально-экономической системы и демократизации политической структуры Республики Дагестан имел свои особенности, обусловленные масштабным отставанием экономики и низким уровнем жизни населения, многонациональной структурой социума, активными акциями национальных движений с сепаратистскими лозунгами и т. д. В сложившихся условиях в республике был создан не имеющий аналога в стране коллективный исполнительный орган в статусе Государственного совета РД, в состав которого входили по одному представителю от 14 титульных национальностей республики. Государственный совет и другие органы власти с поддержкой федеральных органов власти предприняли меры по преодолению глубокого социально-экономического кризиса и повышению уровня жизни населения. Область применения результатов. Позитивный опыт рыночной трансформации экономики и системы управления, преодоления депрессивного состояния и достижения позитивной динамики в социально-экономической сфере может быть использован в современных условиях Дагестана. Выводы. В сложных условиях трансформации экономической и общественно-политической системы, глубокого экономического кризиса и резкого снижения уровня жизни населения, бла годаря деятельности Государственного совета и других органов власти, удалось консолидировать общество, сохранить единство и целостность Республики Дагестан. Вместе с тем с 2000 года начался этап стабилизации, восстановления основных отраслей и роста экономики в целом. Позитивный опыт системы управления с активным привлечением представителей основных национальностей для многонационального Дагестана имеет непреходящее значение и всегда будет востребован в сложные периоды жизнедеятельности дагестанского общества. Этот опыт заслуживает глубокого научного осмысления и практического использования на современном этапе.
Electrochemical monitoring of a photocatalytic desulfurization process of a model liquid fuel
Authors: López-Lozano Lina Marcela , Quiñones-Segura Cesar Augusto , Rodríguez-Bejarano Oscar 
Published: November 2019

Thiophene is a sulfur compound found mostly in gasoline and contributor to air pollution. This paper analyzes UV light photocatalytic desulfurization of model oil using Ag/TiO2. Thiophene concentration in the oil phase was determined by the electrochemical analyzer using Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV).
The electrochemical experimental works were performed by two methodologies. First, aliquots of the oleic mixture were taken every 30 minutes and the thiophene concentration was measured over 7 hours of degradation. The concentration of thiophene decreased by 37.94%. In the second methodology, the in situ thiophene concentration was determined by DPV, where the reaction mixture was altered by the addition of acetonitrile and a quaternary ammonium salt as solvent-supporting electrolyte system. In this medium, the thiophene concentration was reduced by 43.88% after 4 hours of photocatalytic degradation.
Paul (in Romans) and Plutarch (in On Superstition)
Authors: Charles Ronald 
Published: November 2019

The scope of this paper is a comparison of Paul (as we can understand him from his letter to the Romans) and Plutarch (in his treaty On Superstition) in order to determine how Paul is like the Greek philosopher and how he is unlike him. We will work from the assumption that it is possible to compare Paul to Plutarch, not by asking if both works surveyed occupy any specific literary genre, but by looking at the voice that speaks in each text. Thus, we will attempt to look at (i) what the text does, and (ii) how it does it. The comparative task at hand is to find out how these different authors express their views on the fear of God and on the practice of true religion. In order to come closer to achieving that goal, we will look briefly at: how do the authors make use of citations, how do they use the first person singular, and how do they designate “the other.”
The Suffering Messiah Complex in the Gospel of Matthew
Authors: Gagliano Sarah 
Published: November 2019

A Messiah who must suffer would have been a paradox for the Jewish people of the first century. However, in the Gospel of Matthew, even though the author notes that Jesus Christ is in fact the promised and awaited liberator of the Jewish people, the Messiah must suffer. The author prepares the disciples and his readers to anticipate this paradox by using comparisons between Jesus Christ and other characters who also suffer and by including explicit predictions of the suffering of Jesus. At the same time, the opportunity to doubt this phenomenon is permitted.
