PENDEKATAN HUKUM ZAKAT PROFESI MENURUT ULAMA KONSERVATIF DAN PROGRESIF
Authors: Umar M. Hasbi , Zahidin Zahidin 
Published: October 2020

This research started from a controversial about professional zakat of Islamic law, between pros and cons, about the legal position and the system of implementing professional zakat. Specifically there is no dalil nash (al-qur?an and hadits) that mentions professional zakat as from the types of zakat that are required, even the classical books don?t talk about this problem, so that professional zakat seen as a legal product that is Ijtihadi.
Then in this paper will discuss the controversy of professional zakat between which the group accept namely progressive scholars who consider that a new legal product can be made in the framework of responding to development, needs and benefit of the peoples. And teams that reject that is parson that a conservative outlook is seeking to protect the purity of Islamic teachings, with reject all new thoughts that are not based on are valid (clear and unequivocal). In author anliysis, the argument in favor of the profession is stronger and more convincing than the group that rejected it. The study qualitative methods that focus on an approach to literature (library research).

Nationale constitutie versus internationale jurisdictie?
Voor het evenwicht tussen de staatsmachten, maar ook voor de ontwikkeling van internationaal recht, is de wijze waarop de nationale rechter zijn rol vervult van belang: gedraagt hij zich als rechtsvormer of als een rechtshandhaver? Zowel de legitimatie en vorming van het internationale recht als de handhaving van de internationale verplichtingen van de Staat op nationaal niveau zijn hiervan afhankelijk. Deze belangen worden bezien vanuit internationaal perspectief en uiteengezet aan de hand van recente jurisprudentie.

Published: October 2020

The study undertook an economic evaluation of a multi-professional case man-agement intervention targeted at long-term unemployed Finns. The cost-effectiveness outcome of the intervention was analyzed in a matched case-control study framework involving a six-month follow-up. Effectiveness was measured by standardized quality of life indicators, and an indicator measuring personal capabilities. Individual level costs were derived from health and social services utilization data. Cost-effectiveness of the intervention was examined in relation to services as usual. The studied labor market intervention was associated with a positive change in the selected quality of life indicators; physical and psychological quality of life improved in the intervention group. Cost-effectiveness in physical quality of life was attained at a willingness to pay of EUR 500 – 700 per effectiveness unit, while cost-effectiveness in psychological quality of life required incremental costs exceeding EUR 1,600. The intervention had no discernible effect on personal capabilities. The study demonstrated that favorable improvements in quality of life could be attained by a rather ‘light’ and moderate-cost service concept. Such well-being improvements may enhance the preparedness for re-employment of individuals with a prolonged unemployment history. However, a longer follow-up of the labor market intervention would be needed to examine the long-term effects on quality of life and employment.

Published: October 2020

Este artigo apresenta o relato de experiência de uma estratégia didática aplicada em uma turma de primeiro ano de uma escola pública do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. A estratégia didática foi planejada considerando os pressupostos teóricos da Teoria de Aprendizagem Significativa de David Ausubel, cujo objetivo é tornar o aluno protagonista no processo de aprendizagem de conceitos e propriedades das funções exponenciais. Em busca desse objetivo, a estratégia didática foi organizada em seis etapas: questionário prévio para verificar subsunçores; atividade de dobradura de papel para introduzir o conceito de função exponencial; jogo da memória das propriedades de potência para ativar subsunçores; oficina de jogos para abordar conceitos mais específicos; situações-problema sobre Matemática Financeira para contextualizar o ensino; e questionário avaliativo da estratégia didática. A partir do planejamento dessas etapas, se rompe com o ensino descontextualizado e meramente expositivo para promover a interação, a cooperação e compartilhamento de conhecimentos entre os alunos e/ou com o professor. Por fim, constatou-se que 80% dos alunos se envolveram ativamente nas atividades propostas, apresentando indícios de compreensão dos conceitos e propriedade da função exponencial, bem como a aplicabilidade no mundo real.

Utilising one minute and four minute recovery when employing the resistance training contrast method does not negatively affect subsequent jump performance in the presence of concurrent training
Authors: Ritchie Dean , Keogh Justin W.L. , Reaburn Peter , Bartlett Jonathan D. 
Published: October 2020

Background
Little is known about contrast training and post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) in a same day concurrent training model. The aim of the current study was to examine the use of two short duration (1-min and 4-min) recovery periods on drop jump performance in same day concurrently trained athletes.

Methods
Ten professional Australian Rules footballers (age, 20.6 ± 1.9 yr; height, 184.8 ± 6.9 cm; body mass, 85.8 ± 8.4 kg) completed two resistance training sessions with different PAPE recovery durations; 1-min and 4-min, 1 h following a field-based endurance session. Baseline (pre) drop jumps were compared to post-test maximal drop jumps, performed after each set of three squats (where each participant was encouraged to lift as heavy as they could), to determine changes between 1-min and 4-min recovery periods. Data were analysed by fitting a mixed model (significance was set at P ≤ 0.05). Corrected Hedges’ g standardised effect sizes ±95% confidence limits were calculated using group means ± SDs.

Results
There were no significant differences between baseline and experimental sets 1, 2 and 3 for reactive strength index (RSI), flight time, and total and relative impulse for either recovery duration. However, for contact time, 1-min baseline was significantly different from set 2 (mean difference; 95% CI [0.029; 0.000–0.057 s], P = 0.047, ES; 95% CI [−0.27; −1.20 to 0.66]). For RSI and flight time, 1-min was significantly higher than 4-min (RSI: 0.367; 0.091 to 0.642, P = 0.010, ES; 95% CI [0.52; −0.37 to 1.42]; flight time: 0.033; 0.003 to 0.063 s, P = 0.027, ES; 95% CI [0.86; −0.06 to 1.78]).

Discussion
Short recovery periods of 1-min may be a time-efficient form of prescribing strength-power exercise in contrast loading schemes. Longer recovery periods do not appear to benefit immediate, subsequent performance.

Background of Study: Many virulence determinants contribute to the pathogenicity of Gram negative bacteria, like Escherichia coli, which is the most common cause of many infections worldwide such as urinary tract infection (UTI), profuse diarrhoea and septicaemia.
Aim: To determine the genotypic characteristics of adhesin-producing E. coli isolates from clinical specimens.
Place and Duration of Study: Conducted at the Infectious diseases hospital Bayara, Bauchi state, Nigeria, between February to March, 2019.
Methods: A total of twelve (12) Gram negative bacterial isolates were selected based on the ability to grow on Luria-Bertani (LB) agar medium containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin. The isolates were from urine, stool, and blood specimens. The isolates were screened for multidrug resistant pattern according to Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Adhesion factors, Fimbrial adhesin (fimH) and Invasive plasmid adhesin (ipaH) was genotyped by conventional PCR and sequenced.
Results: All the isolates were resistant to Ampicillin, Cephalothin, Erythromycin, Fusidic acid, Novobiocin and Oxacillin, but sensitive to Augmentin, Colistin sulphate and Imipenem. Presence of fimH and ipaH genes were observed in nine isolates that expressed strong relationship with. Multidrug resistance (MDR). The fimH was the most prevalent found in urine, stool and blood isolates. Most of the adhesion genes sequence (61.8%) in this study had significant alignment (95 to 100% homology) with E.coli genome in the NCBI database.
Conclusion: This study revealed the role of adhesin as virulence markers in MDR Gram negative bacteria and FimH is one of the commonest gene in MDR E.coli pathotypes.

AbstractObjectives: To determine: (a) the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus‐1 (HIV‐1) infection among women attending family planning clinics in Nairobi; and (b) the associations between contraceptive use and HIV infection. Methods: History, clinical examination and laboratory tests were used to obtain data from 4404 women attending family planning clinics in Nairobi. We conducted a case‐control study comparing HIV seropositive and seronegative women with regard to previous and current use of contraception. Results: The overall prevalence of HIV‐1 infection was 4.9% (95% C.I. 4.3–5.5). Previous and current use of oral contraceptives (OC), injectable contraceptives and the intrauterine device were not associated with a significant increase in risk, while current users of condoms had a non‐significant reduction in risk. OC use was significantly associated with cervical ectopy, but no significant association was evident between ectopy and HIV infection. Conclusion: The finding of no significant association between past or current OC use and risk of HIV infection suggests that any independent association that may exist between OC use and HIV risk is not large.
Metastatic placental site trophoblastic tumor

Published: July 2002

AbstractSince our publication, which first defined the malignant potential of placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), we have had a keen interest in this rare, unique entity. This histologic entity is noted by its monomorphic population of trophoblast‐like cells which are classified as originating in the intermediate trophoblast. These cells contain hymman placental lactogen (HPL). This is in contrast to cytotrophoblastic and syncytiotrophblastic tissues as the histologic, cytologic and immunohistochemical stain characteristics are disparate.Its rarity and the wide spectrum of clinical behavior combined with the lack of sensitivity of serum levels of beta hCG in predicting disease recurrence and spread have lead to anecdotal reports outlining clinical management.Most discerning to the clinician is the high mortality of metastatic placental site trophoblastic tumor. At our institution, we have treated two patients with a metastatic disease with a successful conclusion. The durability of responses is 3 and 8 years. This report will present these patients in detail and define the important characteristics of successful treatment.The use of dose‐intensive, multi‐agent chemotherapy, early intervention when metastatic disease is discovered, imaging techniques to define disease spread, surgery for localized disease and the use of growth factors, most notably granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (G‐CSF), are the fundamentals of clinical care of placental site trophoblastic tumor in patients with metastatic placental site trophoblastic tumor.
An empirical investigation of supplier development: reactive and strategic processes
Authors: Krause Daniel R. , Handfield Robert B. , Scannell Thomas V. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractAs firms continue to focus on core competencies and outsource non‐core products and services to external suppliers, supply chain management is increasingly viewed as a source of competitive advantage. However, if the supply chain is to be a source of competitive advantage, suppliers' performance must be managed and developed to meet the needs of the buying firm. In an exploratory study based on data collected from 84 companies, the authors develop a process model for supplier development. Using this process model as a framework, the authors then compare two approaches buying firms use in supplier development: (1) reactive efforts to increase the performance of laggard suppliers, and (2) strategic efforts to increase the capabilities of the supply base to enhance the buying firm's long‐term competitive advantage. Strategic efforts were found to significantly increase the buying company's involvement in suppliers' processes, and required greater dedication of resources, personnel and communication.
