RELEVANSI PEMIKIRAN IR. SOEKARNO TERHADAP PENDIDIKAN ISLAM (Studi Peran dan Kedudukan Perempuan dalam Buku Sarinah Karya Ir. Soekarno)

Realitas kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia yang dikenal dengan sifat patriarki, yaitu praktik sosial yang memberikan kewenangan kepada laki-laki untuk menekan dan mengeksploitasi perempuan yang melahirkan norma sosial, hukum serta moral yang mengunggulkan kaum laki-laki. Sehingga stigma masyarakat tentang perempuan berkeyakinan bahwa perempuan adalah bagian belakang atau konco wingking, ungkapan Jawa ini menimbulkan kurangnya masyarakat dan laki-laki memahami peran dan kedudukan perempuan. Seperti yang diungkapkan Soekarno bahwa perempuan adalah persoalan besar yang perlu dipecahkan karena perempuan bagian dari suatu bangsa, tanpa peran perempuan bangsa ini tidak akan maju. Oleh karena itu, harus pemahaman dari perempuan, laki-laki, masyarakat tentang peran dan kedudukan perempuan dalam Islam. Pemikiran Ir. Soekarno tentang peran dan kedudukan perempuan dalam buku Sarinah sesuai dengan Pendidikan Islam yaitu peran perempuan ada dalam keluarga, keagamaan, sosial, politik, ekonomi serta kedudukan yang diunggulkan dari pada laki-laki sesuai dengan Islam. Relevansi pemikiran Ir. Soekarno dalam buku Sarinah pada peran dan kedudukan perempuan masa sekarang masih ada korelasi antara adat istiadat masa dahulu, sehingga keseimbangan dapat diperoleh sesuai berkembangnya zaman.

DMOSYS: defect-monitoring system for building maintenance at polytechnic

Maintenance management could be a complex subject if implementation and planning issues of the building facility are not handled properly. In this context, the current maintenance management method has affected the efficiency of the building facility management at Polytechnics. Many issues such as poor service delivery, inadequate finance, poor maintenance planning and maintenance backlogs were emerged due to the usage of conventional method application (paper-based form and unsystematic database). Therefore, this research is to review existing maintenance management practices, and subsequently develop a prototype system based on the stated problems related to the conventional method in improving the maintenance management processes. Literature review and semi-structured interview was carried out to achieve the objectives. Eight Polytechnics are selected based on major problems of using conventional method in the comparison to investigate the maintenance management practices in each Polytechnic. There are around 32 Polytechnics in Malaysia and almost are using conventional methods. The number is considered very big indicating that the use of modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is still very limited compared to other institutions of higher learning in Malaysia. The results revealed that the practice of maintenance management at Polytechnics needs to be improved and a computerised system was proposed based on the requirements of a maintenance management system identified through the case studies. The framework was encapsulated in a computer-based prototype system based on Microsoft Visual Basic.Net as a graphical user-interface while for the database design, the Microsoft Access is used to deploy the information for maintenance management processes. The computerised system was developed using Data Flow Diagram (DFD) and coding. Subsequently, the prototype system was tested by running it until the critical problems were fixed and its functional requirements work correctly. This system will help with the building diagnosis and decision making process approaches. It will assist staff in facilitating the maintenance identification, assessment, planning and execution in relation to building facility. In conclusion, the developed prototype system can improve the maintenance management practices effectiveness for building facility to provide highquality building facility for safe and healthy environment

Integrating CMMS, expert systems and BIM for IBS building maintenance

Current methods of maintenance management have affected the efficiency of the relevant tasks when applied to the industrialised building system (IBS) for high-rises in Malaysia. Many issues, such as poor service delivery, limited budgets, incompetent staff and defect repetition, have emerged from the use of conventional methods of application (paper-based forms). A total of 73.5% of IBS building maintenance tasks in Malaysia feature the conventional method. Data have revealed that the practice of maintenance management for IBS high-rise buildings needs to be digitalised. Therefore, this paper reviews current practices in maintenance management and develops a Building Information Modelling (BIM) prototype system that addresses problems with to the conventional method to improve the processes of maintenance management. This qualitative research was carried out by conducting a literature review and semi-structured interviews. Eight major maintenance organisations were selected based on the conventional method of practice in managing maintenance for IBS high-rise buildings. The framework was represented in a computer-based prototype system in Autodesk Revit to allow multidisciplinary information to be superimposed onto a digital building model, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net was used as graphical-user interface while Microsoft Access was used for database design to deploy information on maintenance management processes. The computerised system was developed using data flow diagrams and coding. The prototype system was then tested, and the results show that it makes defect diagnosis and decision-making process easier, faster, and cost effective while facilitating the assessment of maintenance, defect diagnosis, and control in relation to components of IBS building structures. In conclusion, the prototype system can improve the effectiveness of maintenance management practices for components of the IBS building structure by reducing the risk of defects in design, such as the design calculation error, to provide high-quality components for the structure to ensure a safe and healthy environment

A Case Study of Maintenance Management Systems in Malaysian Complex and High-rise Industrialized Building System Buildings

The implementation of a maintenance management system faced many issues due to defect repetition and lack of proper structure management planning. A case study was undertaken among complex and high-rise Industrialised Building System (IBS) buildings in Malaysia to identify a key of problem areas and to establish elements of good practice. The study evaluated the performance of the existing maintenance management system used by complex and high-rise IBS buildings to determine whether there is a need to improve current maintenance management system. Results showed that existing performance is far below best practice standards and that the use of emerging technology such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) is very limited. This led to the development of a key feature of the maintenance management system using emerging technology to assist engineers at complex and high-rise IBS buildings to improve their existing approaches to maintenance management.

Research of mechanical components of the Malaysian army tank Alvis Scorpion 90 / Razman Marsoff Johar and Wan Zul Atfi Yusmar Wan Yusof

Tank, a heavily armored, highly mobile vehicle possessing a large-caliber gun capable of delivering tremendous firepower. Generally, it is track laying vehicle travel on two endless belts, called tracks, one on each side. The main purpose of the tank is used in ground offensive combat. Thus, it is very crucial for the tank to have highly mobile capabilities especially during attacking as well as defensive. In order to have these capabilities, a lot of time, dedications, manpower and energy have been sacrificed for study, research and development, in order to keep on improving the mechanical and overall construction of the tank. Therefore, the main purpose of this project is to know and to study the mechanical components in a tank, and if possible, to relate it with the subjects that that have been taught in Mechanical Diploma Course in Mara University Of Technology. The main focus in this study will be the model of an Alvis Scorpion 90 tank, which is the main battle tank in the Malaysian Army. In addition to that, our purpose is also to give some ideas or suggestions to improve the capabilities of the existing Scorpion 90 in order to cope and to satisfy the needs and demands for the coming millennium

TGF-beta 1 induces human alveolar epithelial to mesenchymal cell transition (EMT)

Background: Fibroblastic foci are characteristic features in lung parenchyma of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). They comprise aggregates of mesenchymal cells which underlie sites of unresolved epithelial injury and are associated with progression of fibrosis. However, the cellular origins of these mesenchymal phenotypes remain unclear. We examined whether the potent fibrogenic cytokine TGF-β1 could induce epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the human alveolar epithelial cell line, A549, and investigated the signaling pathway of TGF-β1-mediated EMT. Methods: A549 cells were examined for evidence of EMT after treatment with TGF-β1. EMT was assessed by: morphology under phase-contrast microscopy; Western analysis of cell lysates for expression of mesenchymal phenotypic markers including fibronectin EDA (Fn-EDA), and expression of epithelial phenotypic markers including E-cadherin (E-cad). Markers of fibrogenesis, including collagens and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) were also evaluated by measuring mRNA level using RT-PCR, and protein by immunofluorescence or Western blotting. Signaling pathways for EMT were characterized by Western analysis of cell lysates using monoclonal antibodies to detect phosphorylated Erk1/2 and Smad2 after TGF-β1 treatment in the presence or absence of MEK inhibitors. The role of Smad2 in TGF-β1-mediated EMT was investigated using siRNA. Results: The data showed that TGF-β1, but not TNF-α or IL-1β, induced A549 cells with an alveolar epithelial type II cell phenotype to undergo EMT in a time-and concentration-dependent manner. The process of EMT was accompanied by morphological alteration and expression of the fibroblast phenotypic markers Fn-EDA and vimentin, concomitant with a downregulation of the epithelial phenotype marker E-cad. Furthermore, cells that had undergone EMT showed enhanced expression of markers of fibrogenesis including collagens type I and III and CTGF. MMP-2 expression was also evidenced. TGF-β1-induced EMT occurred through phosphorylation of Smad2 and was inhibited by Smad2 gene silencing; MEK inhibitors failed to attenuate either EMT-associated Smad2 phosphorylation or the observed phenotypic changes. Conclusion: Our study shows that TGF-β1 induces A549 alveolar epithelial cells to undergo EMT via Smad2 activation. Our data support the concept of EMT in lung epithelial cells, and suggest the need for further studies to investigate the phenomenon
