Islamic Rulings and Financial Technology (Fintech): An Analysis on the Relevance and Implications

Industrial Revolution 4.0 has produced rapid technological developments to support the ease of human activity in all lines of life. In the economic and financial fields, this development is known as financial technology, commonly known as Fintech. Like two sides of a coin, financial technology offers ease of service in transactions, time efficiency, transaction flexibility, to increase financial literacy and information technology for the public. Conversely, some of the negative impacts of this financial technology include, the increasing culture of consumerism, hedonism to the practice of new style moneylenders that determine highinterest rates for borrowers online, as well as ways of billing outside the fair range. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis related to the role of Islamic rulings in the development of financial technology. The conclusions of this study are some of the roles of Islamic rulings in developing financial technology divided into three key aspects; first, as a preventive mechanism to avoid fraud transactions. Second, as a moral guide (ethical guidelines) to maintain that all transactions prioritize the principles of honesty and compliance with sharia principles. Third, as a means of socializing Islamic rulings (muamalah fiqh), especially in transactions that use financial technology instruments

Decreasing groundwater quality at Cisadane riverbanks: groundwater-surface water approach

The decreasing of groundwater quality has been the major issue in Tangerang area. One of the key process is the interaction between groundwater and Cisadane river water, which flows over volcanic deposits of Bojongmanik Fm, Genteng Fm, Tuf Banten, and Alluvial Fan. The objective of this study is to unravel such interactions based on the potentiometric mapping in the riverbank. We had 60 stop sites along the riverbank for groundwater and river water level observations, and chemical measurements (TDS, EC, temp, and pH). Three river water gauge were also analyzed to see the fluctuations. We identified three types of hydrodynamic relationships with fairly low flow gradients: effluent flow at Segmen I (Kranggan - Batuceper) with 0.2-0.25 gradient, perched flow at Segmen II (Batuceper-Kalibaru) with gradient 0.2-0.25, and influent flow at Segmen III (Kalibaru-Tanjungburung) with gradient 0.15-0.20. Such low flow gradient is controlled by the moderate to low morphological slope in the area. The gaining and losing stream model were also supported by the river water fluctuation data. TDS and EC readings increased more than 40$\%$ from upstream to downstream. At some points the both measurements were two times higher than the permissible limits, along with the drops of pH values at those areas. This study shows the very close interaction between Cisadane river water and groundwater in the riverbank. Therefore the authorities need to be managed the areas with a very strict regulations related to the small and large scale industries located near by the river.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, have been presented in Asian Physics Symposium in Indonesia 2015 and will be published in IOP Conference Serie

ANALISIS HIDROKIMIA UNTUK INTERPRETASI SISTEM HIDROGEOLOGI DAERAH KARS

Cijulang and its surrounding area represent as karst morphology with the cavity network development as the result of groundwater dissolution process. The research of karst hydrogeology in Cijulang area was conducted by using hydrochemical analysis and compiled with the field hydrogeological observation data to identify the hydrogeological system. Based on hydrochemical analysis data as degree of acidity (pH), partial pressure of CO2 (Pco2), and saturation index of calcite (SIkalsit) that compiled with hydrogeological characteristics shown the change of groundwater flow mechanism on the spanning of certainly elevation. Diffusion flow mechanism happened at theelevation of 110–65 masl (transition zone-1) and then changed into conduit flow mechanism at the elevation of 65–35 masl (transition zone -2) and at the elevation of 35–20 masl (zone of continuous water circulation)

First-line antibiotic susceptibility pattern of toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Indonesia

Background Diphtheria has been reported as an outbreak in some regions in Indonesia, most especially in East Java Province. Resistance to penicillin, erythromycin, and other antibiotics, single or multiple, has been reported in several studies. This study aims to evaluate the first-line antibiotic susceptibility pattern of toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolates. Methods This descriptive observational study was performed from August to November 2018. C. diphtheriae isolates were collected from diphtheria patients and carriers in East Java from 2012 to 2017 and kept at the Balai Besar Laboratorium Kesehatan Daerah Surabaya or the Public Health Laboratory of Surabaya. Sample selection was done by random cluster sampling. The sensitivity test by E-test®of the five antibiotics (penicillin, oxacillin, erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin) was done to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M45A (2015) Corynebacterium spp. for penicillin and erythromycin was used as standard. Results From 114 targeted isolates, 108 were viable and toxigenic. The E-test was performed on the viable isolates. The majority of the hosts were male (58.3%), with median (range) age of 6.5 (1–14) years. Half of the samples were from the 1 to 5-year-old age group. The isolates were acquired much more from patients (78.7%) than carriers (21.3%) and from pharyngeal swab (74.1%). Most of these isolates were from Madura Island (47.2%) and the northern and eastern parts of the province (horseshoe area). Mitis isolates were the major variant (76.9%). The susceptibility pattern of C. diphtheriae to erythromycin was better than that to penicillin. The E-test result for penicillin was 68.52% susceptible, 31.48% intermediate, and 0% resistant (MIC range,  256 μg/L) was 85.2% susceptible, 12% intermediate, and 2.8% resistant The MIC range for oxacillin was 1 to 96 μg/L, while for both azithromycin and clarithromycin were  256 μg/L. Conclusion The susceptibility rate of C. diphtheriae to erythromycin is higher than that to penicillin. The regular update of antibiotic selection to the national guidelines is recommended. The MIC reference standard to azithromycin and clarithromycin is also needed
