Studi kasus pengelolaan wakaf uang di Baitul Maal Hidayatullah Semarang

Baitul Maal Hidayatullah Semarang dengan SK Mentri Agama RI No 538 tahun 2001 adalah badan hukum yang bergerak di bidang sisial, pendidikan, kemasyarakatan dan atau keagamaan Islam, selain itu sebagai pengelola ZIS juga sebagai nadzir wakaf termasuk wakaf uang (uang). Wakaf uang adalah wakaf uang (penyerahan hak milik) yang dilakukan seseorang, kelompok orang, lembaga atau badan hukum dalam bentuk uang uang, kepada seorang nadzir dengan ketentuan bahwa manfaatnya digunakan untuk hal-hal yang sesuai dengan syariat Islam dengan tidak mengurangi atau menghilangkan jumlah pokoknya, tidak boleh dihibahkan, diwariskan dan dipindah tangankan kepada orang lain. Karena pada dasarnya harta wakaf adalah salah satu bentuk amal seseorang yang pahalanya terus mengalir walaupun orang yang berwakaf telah meninggal. Dari latar belakang tersebut, rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini meliputi : Bagaimana pengelolaan wakaf uang di Baitul Maal Hidayatullah Semarang, dan apakah pengelolaan wakaf uang di Baitul Maal Hidayatullah Semarang sudah sesuai dengan tujuan dan fungsi wakaf menurut hukum Islam dan hukum positif di Indonesia. Jenis penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian lapangan (field research), yaitu suatu penelitian yang meneliti obyek di lapangan untuk mendapatkan data dan gambaran yang jelas dan konkrit tentang hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan permasalahan yang diteliti. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, yang bertujuan penelitian ini didapat pencandraan secara sistematis, faktual dan akurat mengenai fakta-fakta dan sifat-sifat populasi atau daerah tertentu. Adapun metode pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode diskriptif analisis. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat ketahui bahwa pelaksaan pengelolaan wakaf uang yang dilakukan oleh Baitul Maal Hidayatullah Semarang, dalam usahanya menjaga agar harta wakaf tidak berkurang atau habis, direalisasikan dalam bentuk bangunan gedung sekolah yang kemudian disewakan kepada Yayasan Pendidikan Al-Burhan, dengan memberikan Toko Sakinah dan dengan investasi di Bank Syariah Mandiri dan Bank Muamalat cabang Semarang. Dari hasil yang diperoleh didistribisikan kepada peruntukannya yang tercermin dalam pasal 22 Undang-undang No. 41 tahun 2004 tentang wakaf atau kepada hal-hal yang sesuai dengan syariat Islam. Namun demikian pengelolaan wakaf uang yang dilakukan oleh Baitul Maal Hidayatullah Semarang masih kurang transparan dalam mengelola dana wakaf uang secara rinc

First record of the Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis (Temminck Schlegel, 1844) from the coast off Sur, Sultanate of Oman

A single specimen of the Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis was caught on 11 May 2017 in a long-line operated about 40 nautical miles off the coast of Sur atconfluent of Sea of Oman and Arabian Sea coast of Oman. This first record of its occurrence indicates the extension of distributional range of the species to the Arabian Sea coast of Oman

Effects of calcium and chitosan treatments on controlling anthracnose and postharvest quality of papaya (Carica papaya L.)

This study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro fungicidal effects of calcium and chitosan on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and to as well determine their effects on storage life and quality of papaya. Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) incorporated with calcium at different concentrations (1.5, 2.5 or 3.5%) or in combination with chitosan at 0.75% or chitosan alone were used as treatments for in vitro tests. Uncorporated treatments with PDA and untreated fruits as control used on papaya fruits for storage life and quality evolutions. Chitosan had the greatest effect against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in both in vitro and in disease incidence (%) on papaya fruits compared to calcium treatment and as well as control. Calcium reduced spores germination significantly as calcium concentrations increased from 2.5 to 3.5%, compared to the 1.5% and control treatments. However, it did not show any fungicidal effects on mycelial growth. The combination of 2.5% calcium with chitosan 0.75% completely inhibited spore germinations and significantly inhibited mycelia growth compared to calcium individual treatments and as well as control. Anthracnose disease incidence (%) was significantly controlled (5.6%) using calcium at 2.5% combined with chitosan compared with the other treatments. This demonstrated the best effect on controlling anthracnose disease incidence for papaya fruits. Moreover, this treatment proved able to extend the storage life of papaya fruits up to 33 days of storage life while maintaining valuable attributes of quality

Gold and Iron Loaded Micelles: A Multifunctional Approach for Combined Imaging and Therapy, With Improved Pharmacokinetics

Radiation therapy is an important component in the treatment and management of cancer patients. Despite current advances in imaging technologies and treatment planning strategies, a major limitation persists in accurately delineating tumor from normal tissue resulting in radiation–induced damage to healthy structures. Therefore, the frequency and dose of radiation exposure is limited by the generated toxicity in healthy tissues. The use of nanoparticles for contrast–enhanced imaging could improve the accuracy of therapeutic delivery and guide radiation treatments to maximize delivery to disease target tissues while sparing adjacent normal structures. Further, advancements in radiation therapy focus on the use of radiosensitizers that are intended to enhance tumor cell killing while minimizing effects on normal tissue. We have developed multifunctional nanoplatforms, containing sub–nanometer gold and iron nanoparticles that can provide contrast enhancement using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, while also serving as radiosensitizers for X–ray therapy. The effectiveness of these nanoparticles was evaluated in vivo demonstrating an improvement in both tumor margin visualization for image-guided radiation therapy and overall survival in tumor bearing mice. Importantly, we found that measurements of contrast enhancement in imaging correlated strongly with tumor response after radiation therapy. Furthermore, we have found that by encapsulating sub–nanometer gold particles within micelles we are able achieve improved excretion profiles compared to larger gold particles, with gold detected in both urine and feces suggesting that particles within this size range are more efficiently removed by the kidneys and liver. Finally, the use of an actively targeted nanoplatform can achieve higher tumor retention, facilitate nanoparticle internalization, and improve tumor specificity. To facilitate the introduction of targeting molecules onto micelle formulations, a naturally occurring surfactant protein oleosin was used to stabilize superparamagnetic iron oxide clusters. Functionalization with targeting ligands (e.g. Her2/neu affibody) was achieved by fusing the biologically relevant motifs to oleosin using standard cloning techniques, and cell specific targeting was confirmed using magnetic relaxation techniques. In the future, we envision that strategies like this will minimize the off–target effects of radiation, reduce tumor burden, provide information on the likelihood of tumor regression in response to therapy and reduce long–term nanoparticle retention
