Industrial Design Protection in Indonesia: A Fiqh Perspective and Its Challenges In Facing Communalistic Values
Authors: Haq Husnul , Humaidi Muchtim , Muchtar Ali 
Published: February 2024

As a member of the World Trade Organization and a signatory to the TRIPs Agreement, the Indonesian Government drafted Law Number 31 of 2000 concerning industrial design. The establishment of TRIPs was the desire of industrial countries such as America and Europe to protect their products and strengthen their monopolistic position in international trade. Besides that, the philosophical foundation of TRIPs is based on individualism, while the social reality of the Indonesian nation adheres to a communalistic way of life. This research aims to describe industrial design protection in Indonesia and its problems from a fiqh perspective. This research is a legal research based on primary and secondary legal materials. Researchers also examined Law No. 31 of 2000 concerning industrial design and the Academic Paper of the Draft Law on Industrial Design in 2015. In data analysis, the authors use descriptive and comparative techniques. This study finds that although the Law of industrial design originates from the rules of the TRIPs Agreement, it generally does not conflict with Islamic jurisprudence but is in harmony with it. However, there are problems in protecting industrial design. To solve these problems, it is necessary to improve the industrial design law by considering national interests, improve the legal structure by increasing the professionalism of judges and judicial staff, and improve legal culture through education, socialization of legal regulations, good examples, and halal industrial designs.
THE MEMORISATION CURRICULA IN THE ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Published: February 2024

Pertanyaan apakah menghafal itu penting atau tidak akhir-akhir ini mendapat perhatian besar. Pakar pendidikan telah mengajukan berbagai argumen, baik yang mendukung maupun menentang, namun pendapat para pendidik Islam belum didengarkan. Dengan menelusuri perkembangan teknik hafalan di lembaga pendidikan Islam sejak masa Ottoman hingga saat ini di Indonesia, tulisan ini berupaya untuk mengatasi kesenjangan tersebut. Isu krusial kedua yang diangkat dari analisis literatur ini adalah terdepresiasinya penghafal Al-Qur'an akibat meningkatnya jumlah rumah tangga tahfidz di Indonesia belakangan ini. Ringkasnya, artikel ini mengemukakan tiga poin penting: Pertama, kurikulum pendidikan Islam kini memasukkan hafalan sebagai strategi pembelajaran dan akan selalu demikian. Kedua, menghafal tidak secara inheren mendiskualifikasi proses pemahaman. Pertentangan antara kedua konsep ini hanyalah salah satu contoh bagaimana cara berpikir kita dikaburkan oleh perbedaan ontologi sistem pendidikan Islam dan Eropa. Ketiga, cita-cita luhur seorang Muslim untuk mewujudkan Al-Qur'an dalam dirinya telah menjadi ciri khas lembaga pendidikan Islam selama berabad-abad dan terancam punah. Ketiga kesimpulan ini berkaitan dengan peningkatan setidaknya dua metodologi pengajaran dalam pendidikan Indonesia: kebutuhan untuk mempertahankan sistem pendidikan yang asli dari lembaga pendidikan Islam dan keberlanjutan tingkat pendidikan Islam.The question of whether memorizing things is essential or not has recently gained substantial attention. Education specialists have offered a range of arguments, both for and against, but Islamic educators' opinions have not been heard. By tracking the development of memorization techniques in Islamic educational institutions from the Ottoman era to the present day in Indonesia, this essay seeks to address this gap. The second crucial issue brought up by this literature analysis is the depreciation of memorizing the Qur'an as a result of the recent increase in tahfidz households in Indonesia. In summary, this article makes three crucial points: First, the Islamic educational curriculum now incorporates memorization as a learning strategy and always will. Second, memorization does not inherently disqualify the understanding process. The conflict between these two concepts is just one example of how our way of thinking is clouded by the divergent ontologies of the Islamic and European educational systems. Third, the lofty goal of a Muslim embodying the Qur'an inside himself or herself has been the hallmark of Islamic educational institutions for centuries and is in risk of disappearing. These three conclusions are pertinent to the promotion of at least two instructional methodologies in Indonesian education: the need to maintain an educational system that is native to the womb of Islamic educational institutions and the sustainability of Islamic educational levels.
Subtansiasi Nilai-Nilai Jiwa dalam Pendidikan Islam: Perspektif Ibnā
Authors: Prasetia Senata Adi 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis article critically explores how to substantiate the values of the soul in Islamic education using Ibn Sinā's perspective. As a discourse that interests Muslim scholars, the concept of the soul has experienced ups and downs and passed through various endless debates. Ibn Sinā as one of the Muslim philosophers concerned with the soul managed to develop a good conception of the soul that received extraordinary attention and appreciation from Muslim philosophers after him, such as al-Ghazāli, Fakhruddin al-Rāzi, Ibn Rushd, and Western scholars. Using an exploratory, descriptive, and analytical approach, this article argues that the soul is a spiritual substance that inspires the body so that it lives, which then becomes a tool for acquiring knowledge and divine (theological) knowledge. The practice of teaching Islamic education, thus, cannot be separated from the touch of Ibn Sinā's soul element. For Sinā, Islamic education must reconsider psychological aspects to develop students' potential naturally to become perfect human beings (insan kamil). AbstrakArtikel ini, secara kritis, mengeksplorasi bagaimana substansiasi nilai kejiwaan dalam Pendidikan Islam menggunakan perspektif Ibn Sinā. Sebagai suatu diskursus yang menyita atensi ilmuwan Muslim, konsep kejiwaan berkembang sedemikian rupa serta membuka ruang dialektika yang beragam. Ibn Sinā, satu dari sekian filsuf Muslim yang concern terhadap kejiwaan, telah berhasil mengembangkan konsepsi kejiwaan dengan sangat baik sehingga mendapat atensi dan apresiasi yang luar biasa dari kalangan filsuf muslim setelahnya, seperti al-Ghazāli, Fakhruddin al-Rāzi, Ibn Rushd, dan sarjana Barat. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan eksploratif, deskriptis, dan analitis, artikel ini berpendapat jiwa merupakan substansi ruhani yang mengilhami jasad sehingga ia hidup dan menjadi piranti untuk memperoleh ilmu dan pengetahuan ketuhanan (teologis). Praktik pendidikan Islam, dalam hal ini, tidak terlepas dari sentuhan unsur kejiwaan Ibn Sinā. Bagi Sinā, pendidikan Islam harus merekonsiderasi aspek-aspek kejiwaan guna pengembangan potensi peserta didik secara fitri sehingga mampu meraih derajat manusia sempurna (insan kamil).
Towards a Greek Proverb Atlas: A Computational Spatial Exploration and Attribution of Greek Proverbs
Authors: Pavlopoulos John , Louridas Panos , Filos Panagiotis 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Proverbs carry wisdom transferred orally from generation to generation. Based on the place they were recorded, this study introduces a publicly-available and machine-actionable dataset of more than one hundred thousand Greek proverb variants. By quantifying the spatial distribution of proverbs, we show that the most widespread proverbs come from the mainland while the least widespread proverbs come primarily from the islands. By focusing on the least dispersed proverbs, we present the most frequent tokens per location and undertake a benchmark in geographical attribution, using text classification and regression (text geocoding). Our results show that this is a challenging task for which specific locations can be attributed more successfully compared to others. The potential of our resource and benchmark is showcased by two novel applications. First, we extracted terms moving the regression prediction toward the four cardinal directions. Second, we leveraged conformal prediction to attribute 3,676 unregistered proverbs with statistically rigorous predictions of areas each of these proverbs was possibly registered in.
Analytical Approximation and Evaluation of Roll Separating Force in Bar Rolling Process.
Authors: Mistry Ghanshyambhai Dashrathbhai , Judal Kesarabhai Bhikhabhai 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Designing the roller and determining the required passes to manufacture the bar depend on the estimation of the pressure value during the bar rolling operation. Numerous researchers have proposed a mean unit pressure formula based on the flat rolling process formula. However, it is challenging to predict the pressure accurately using these formulas. Hence, the principle of sticking and slipping friction as well as weak plane strain is applied to derive the analytical formula based on slab analysis. To apply the proposed formula for different types of passes, the given pass shape is converted into an equivalent rectangular bar and assumed that it is pressed between two flat plates. Prediction of metal flow stress value is calculated by using Shida’s formula with the proposed equation for the correction in input temperature of the hot metal. The constitutive formula of the roll separating force (RSF) is proposed based on these parameters. A comparison is made between the suggested formula and the experimental values which is available in the literature. The findings reveal that the RSF values obtained by applying the suggested method offer a reliable approximation for different kinds of passes.

Authors: Papadopoulos Apostolos , Vasileiadis Ilias 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Many categories of children with special needs have difficulties with movement, orientation, balance and visual-motor integration. The aim of this study was to investigate the detectability of difficulties in visual-motor integration in preschoolers with special educational needs and, at the same time, to study the effect of an intervention program applied to children with such difficulties. The Beery Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (6th ed.) was used to assess the children. Nine preschoolers, diagnosed with special educational needs and difficulties in visual-motor integration formed the experimental group. Nine preschoolers diagnosed with special educational needs and difficulties in visual-motor integration participated in the control group, CG-1, and thirteen preschoolers from the typical population participated in CG-2, respectively. The children in the experimental group were administered a ten-week intervention program and upon its completion, all children were reassessed. The intervention program administered was based on the Beery VMI educational tool, My Shape Book. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the performance of the children in the experimental group in visual perception as well as a significant improvement in their performance in motor integration following the intervention.
Dust Dynamics: Distribution Patterns of Semi-Volatile Organic Chemicals across Particle Sizes in Varied Indoor Microenvironments
Authors: ali nadeem 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

An extensive analysis of the distribution patterns of three distinct classes of semi-volatile organic chemicals (SVOCs)—phthalates (PAEs), organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) — across four discrete size fractions of dust (25, 50, 100, and 200 μm) was conducted. The dust samples were sourced from AC filter, covered car parking lots, households, hotels, mosques, and car floors. To generate the four fractions, ten dust samples from each microenvironment were pooled and sieved utilizing sieving apparatus with the appropriate mesh size. Selected SVOCs were quantified utilizing gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in electron impact (EI) mode. Results revealed varying degree of contamination with dust fractions from car parking lots dust showed the lowest chemical contamination, while car floor dust was the most contaminated. SVOCs concentrations exhibited a tendency to increase as the size of dust particles decreased, particularly evident in car floor and car parking lot dust across the microenvironments analyzed. Among SVOCs, PAEs emerged as the predominant contributors with >90% followed by OPFRs and PAHs. Among analyzed microenvironments, car floor dust exhibited the highest levels of PAHs and OPFRs, this align logically with the fact that numerous interior components of cars are treated with OPFRs to adhere to fire safety regulations. Furthermore, petroleum products are a major source of PAHs in the environment and all the sampled cars in the study had combustion engines. Consequently, car dust is more likely to be polluted with PAHs stemming from petroleum combustion. Heavy metals and brominated flame retardants have increased with decreasing dust particles in a few investigations, however, this is the first study analyzing these SVOCs in different fractions of dust from various microenvironments. However, aside from two specific microenvironments, the observed pattern of escalating SVOC concentrations with smaller dust particle sizes was not corroborated among the examined microenvironments. This divergence in concentration trends suggests the potential involvement of supplementary variables in influencing SVOC distributions within dust particles.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Determining treated effluent parameters in WWTPs is crucial for assessing operational efficiency, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, and promoting sustainable and responsible wastewater treatment practices. Conventionally, standard laboratory analysis techniques are used to characterize the wastewater. Artificial Neural Network analysis is a promising tool to predict the wastewater characteristics, as a substitute to tedious laboratory techniques. They enable proactive decision-making and contributes to the overall effectiveness of the treatment processes. This paper constructs various regression models based on neural networks within the domain of traditional machine learning. The main objective of this paper is to design neural network-based regression models to predict Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), a key parameter characterizing treated effluent of a domestic wastewater treatment plant. Date used in the study is the augmented data of influent and effluent characteristics values from a wastewater treatment plant. The strength of neural networks lies in their ability to capture complex, non-linear relationships in data and make them suitable for predicting wastewater parameters that may have intricate dependencies on input variables. In this paper, the KMeans cluster with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for feature selection and anomaly detection to increase the performance of the regression model. Various algorithms used include Multilayer Perceptron Network, Polynomial Regression with a Neural Network, Generalized Additive Models (GAM) with a Neural Network, Radial Basis Function Network and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with Genetic Algorithms (GAs) with different Hyperparameter methods for prediction. Based on the results, it can be concluded that Average of all five neural network models predicted COD value with Mean Square Error of 0.0015 and R-Square of 0.8522.
Green Synthesis of Solketal from Glycerol Using Metal-Modified ZSM-5 Zeolite Catalysts: Process Optimization
Authors: Gujar Jamna Prasad , Modhera Bharat 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

The production of solketal (2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolane-4-methanol) from glycerol via ketalization reaction was facilitated using a metallic zeolite M-ZSM-5 catalyst. The catalyst is prepared using the wet impregnation method, enabling precise control over metal loading and ensuring versatility in catalyst preparation. Various characterization methods, such as XRD, FTIR, TGA, and FESEM-EDX, were utilized to illuminate the properties of the catalyst. Solketal production unfolded in a solvent-free reactor within a rotamantle instrument. Various parameters were studied to understand the impact on the prepared solketal, including temperature, catalyst amount, molar ratio (G:A), reaction time, and stirring speed. The confirmation of solketal formation was achieved through GC-MS analysis. It has been found that the catalyst Cu-ZSM-5 exhibited the highest performance (99% conversion of glycerol and 96% selectivity of solketal) among various M-ZSM-5 catalysts. The Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst has been used for deactivation and reusability. To regenerate the spent catalysts, calcination was used, which also restored their initial activity. The solketal product obtained in this study has significant applications as fuel additives, solvents, and pharmaceuticals. This research promotes developing environment-friendly routes for utilizing glycerol as a renewable feedstock.

Abstract

Laparoscopic-assisted microwave ablation (LAMWA), as one of the locoregional therapies, has been employed to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of LAMWA and laparoscopic hepatectomy in the treatment of small HCC.This study included 140 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 68 patients received LAMWA and 72 patients underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy. The perioperative condition, liver function recovery, the alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level, morbidities, hospitalization time, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and recurrence rate between the two groups were compared. The rate of complete elimination of tumor tissue was 100% and the AFP level was returned to normal within 3 months in both groups (P > 0.05). The mean alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) peak in the LAMWA group was lower than that in the laparoscopic hepatectomy group (259.51 SD 188.75 VS 388.9 SD 173.65, P = 0.000) and (267.34 SD 190.65 VS 393.1 SD 185.67, P = 0.000), respectively. The mean average operation time in the LAMWA group was shorter than that in the laparoscopic hepatectomy group (89 SD 31min VS 259 SD 48min, P = 0.000). The blood loss in the LAMWA group was less than that in the laparoscopic hepatectomy group (58.4 SD 64.0ml VS 213.0 SD 108.2ml, P = 0.000). Compared with the laparoscopic hepatectomy group, patients in the LAMWA group had few periods of hospital stay (4.8 SD 1.2d VS 11.5 SD 2.9d, P = 0.000). The morbidities of the LAMWA group and the hepatectomy group were 14.7%(10/68) and 34.7༅(25/72), respectively (P = 0.006)༎The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 88.2%, 69.9%, 45.6% for the LAMWA group and 86.1%, 72.9%, 51.4% for the laparoscopic hepatectomy group (P = 0.693). The corresponding DFS rates for the two groups were 76.3%, 48.1%, 27.9% and 73.2%, 56.7%, 32.0% (P = 0.958). Laparoscopic-assisted microwave ablation is a safe and effective therapeutic option for selected small HCC.

Abstract

The epigenetic landscape plays a critical role in the onset and evolution of various malignancies, but its therapeutic utility remains underutilized. Glucocorticoids are an essential part of many multi-agent treatment regimens for lymphoid malignancies. However, the emergence of glucocorticoid resistance is a significant barrier to cure, which is in part due to epigenetic alterations, including aberrant chromatin accessibility and hypermethylation at lymphocyte-specific glucocorticoid-response elements (GREs). To gain a deeper understanding of regulatory mechanisms leading to these epigenetic alterations, we conducted a multi-omics study, including chromosome conformation capture sequencing (HiC), to examine changes in the 3D genome structure following the in vivo treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) with glucocorticoid. We found that glucocorticoid treatment led to distinct patterns of topologically associated domains (TADs) in glucocorticoid sensitive compared to resistant PDXs. Furthermore, we show that these TADs were primed by the development-related pioneer transcription factor PU.1, which extensively interacts with the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) exclusively in glucocorticoid-sensitive ALL PDXs. An integrative analysis of rapid immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry of endogenous protein (RIME) and ChIP-seq revealed that PU.1 binding was associated with lymphocyte-specific activation of GREs and GRE-interacting super-enhancers. The PU.1-associated TADs modulated epigenetic marks, and particularlythe eviction of PU.1 promoted GR binding and the expression of signature genes, including BIM, ZBTB16 and RASA1, mediating glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in ALL. These findings were phenocopied using a PU.1 inhibitor DB2313 to restore glucocorticoid sensitivity in ALL. Taken together, this study identified a new epigenetic pathway integrating PU.1 priming and PU.1-GR interaction which ultimately leads to PU.1 eviction in ALL. This pathway provides the first link between the activity of a lineage-specific transcription factor and epigenetic modulators mediating the response to glucocorticoids and thus offers a new avenue to translate fundamental epigenetic research into the clinic.
