Modelling reinforced concrete beams for structural strengthening of buildings

Iraq has many damaged and vandalized building since it is located in the Middle East, in southwestern Asia. Reinforced concrete beams of normal weight and lightweight's beams were conducted. The study is also done on normal strength and high strength beams in each category. The reinforced concrete used were 0% and 0.75% in each category. The lengths of the concrete beams used were 35 mm and 60 mm in each category. The longitudinal reinforcement ratio in all the beams is kept at 1.46%. The effect of types of aggregates, length of concrete beams, and concrete compressive strength were studied and results were presented with regard to the shear and flexure strengths, beam load-deflection responses, mode of failure, stiffness, energy absorption, and ductility. Shear and flexural crack widths and cracking patterns of the beams were also presented. Reinforced concrete content of the beams was also discussed. The possibility of replacement of minimum concrete reinforcement for lightweight beams with reinforced concrete is discussed. The most efficient length of beams for this purpose was presented. The modeling of buildings were designed in ANSYS and the strengthening as well as reinforcement was being shown using the software tool for the buildings in Iraq

Social Awareness and Safety Assistance of COVID-19 based on DLN face mask detection and AR Distancing

The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has forced major countries to apply strict policy toward society. People must wear a facemask and always keep their distance from each other's to avoid virus contamination. Government employ officers to monitor citizen and warn them if not wearing a face mask. The warning message also spread through SMS and social media to ensure people about safety and awareness. This paper aims to provide face mask detection using the Deep Learning Network(DLN) and warning system through video stream input from CCTV or images then analyzed. If people not wearing a mask are detected, they will alert them through the speaker and remind them about a penalty. AR distancing very useful to give position toward violator location based on the detected person in a certain area. The system is designed to work intelligently and automatically without human intervention. With the accuracy of 99% recognition, it's expected that the system can help the government to increase people awareness toward the safety of themselves and people around them

Ahmad Syafii Maarif’s Journey of Thought: From Fundamentalism to Inclusivism

This article aims to provide a historical narrative about the journey of thinking of one of the leaders of Islamic thought in Indonesia named Ahmad Syafii Maarif. Syafii Maarif experienced a fundamental thought change from a fundamentalist admirer of the Islamic State of Indonesia to becoming an inclusive person who fights for human values. The track record or range of points of intellectual development is divided into three stages. The first turning point or the phase of intellectual formation of Syafii Maarif's thoughts occurred when he received an education at the Muhammadiyah Mu'allimin Madrasah at Balai Tangah, Lintau, West Sumatra. The second point, or phase of intellectual growth, occurred after continuing his studies at Madrasah Mu'allimin Yogyakarta and finished in 1956. The third point, or phase of intellectual development, happened when he attended a doctoral program at the University of Chicago, United States, completed in 1983. At the university, he experienced a significant intellectual turning point by experiencing a new spiritual and intellectual awakening under Fazlur Rahman (1919-1988). This article uses the historical theory of Kuntowijoyo's thoughts, as a form of thought study methodology in which it examines the text, context, and the relationship between the text and society. This article uses a biographical approach to analyze the genealogy of thought and environmental conditions of Ahmad Syafii Maarif

EFFECT OF BETA VULGARIS L. ON CHOLESTEROL RICH DIET-INDUCED HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA IN RATS

Abstract The lyophilized aqueous extract of Beta vulgaris L. (beet root) (BVE) was investigated for its possible antihypercholesterolemic and antioxidant potential in cholesterol rich diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in Wistar albino rats. Hypercholesterolemia was induced in rats by feeding 1% cholesterol rich diet for 10 weeks. Lipid profile and glucose were estimated in serum. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and non-protein sulfhydryls (NP-SH) levels were measured in liver and heart. Hypercholesterolemic rats showed a significant increase in total cholesterol and triglycerides and a significant decrease in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. BVE at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight for 70 consecutive days showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol and triglycerides and significant increase in HDL-C. Furthermore, hypercholesterolemic rats showed free radical generation (lipid peroxidation), evident by a significant increase in MDA level and a significant reduction in NP-SH content in both liver and heart homogenates. BVE treatment significantly decreased MDA level and significantly replenished the reduced NP-SH content in both liver and heart tissue. The acute toxicity test of BVE showed no mortality or morbidity in rats. The findings indicate that BVE has a significant antihypercholesterolemic and antioxidant potential and/or free radical scavenging properties in hypercholesterolemic, rats possibly exerted by the phytoconstituents present in the beet root. Rezumat Studiul experimental evaluează acţiunea antihipercolesterolemiantă şi antioxidantă a extractului apos liofilizat al rădăcinii plantei Beta vulgaris (Chenopodiaceae).

A fost evaluat profilul lipidic şi glucidic al animalelor, concentraţia serică a malonildialdehidei. De asemenea, au fost evaluate (ĭn ţesutul hepatic şi cardiac) grupările sulfhidril non-proteice. Rezultatele obţinute indică proprietăţile antihipercolesterolemiante şi antioxidante, datorate fitoconstituenţilor prezenţi în rădăcina plantei studiate

The Effect of Microfinance on women's empowerment: Evidence from Malaysia

Microfinance is widely known as a development tool for those deprived of access to financial services, especially women. However, the literature provides conflicting evidence and shows that women’s empowerment may not, or may only be partially achieved through microcredit, especially in Muslim societies. This study seeks to scrutinize the effect of Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM), a microcredit institution, on Malay Muslim women in an urban area. A quasi-experimental method was used to conduct a cross sectional survey of 500 old and new clients. Informal semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 current clients who had received microcredit two years earlier. The findings show that AIM microcredit empowered the women and enhanced gender equality. It enabled women to access financial capital, form their micro- and small-businesses and obtain an income which helped them to contribute to household expenditure. Even though the effect of microcredit was partial, it provided them bargaining power for decision-making, control over resources and enhanced their self-esteem
