Sharia-Based Regional Regulations and Inter-Religious Relations in Bulukumba South Sulawesi

The background for the emergence of the idea of applying Sharia based regional regulations in Bulukumba is influenced by three factors: history, politics and socio-religious reality of the community. The response to the application of Islamic law also varies. At least in broad outline there are four kinds of responses, i.e. accepting, accepting with certain conditions, refusing then accepting and refusing. The application of Islamic law in Bulukumba has caused changes both in the physical appearance and socio-religious interaction of the people. Changes in physical appearance can be seen from the increasing number of women wearing hijab and a number of writings of religious nuances in various corners of the city. Changes in the areas of social interaction can be seen from the decrease of the crime rate. In the interaction between religious communities, the Sharia-based regulations are a medium for the Islamization of society. The existence of such legislation has also left no space for non-Muslims to build or add a new place of worship

A cryogenic surface-electrode elliptical ion trap for quantum simulation

Two-dimensional crystals of trapped ions are a promising system with which to implement quantum simulations of challenging problems such as spin frustration. Here, we present a design for a surface-electrode elliptical ion trap which produces a 2-D ion crystal and is amenable to microfabrication, which would enable higher simulated coupling rates, as well as interactions based on magnetic forces generated by on-chip currents. Working in an 11 K cryogenic environment, we experimentally verify to within 5% a numerical model of the structure of ion crystals in the trap. We also explore the possibility of implementing quantum simulation using magnetic forces, and calculate J-coupling rates on the order of 10^3 / s for an ion crystal height of 10 microns, using a current of 1 A

Missed opportunities for ovarian salvage in children: an 8-year review of surgically managed ovarian lesions at a tertiary pediatric surgery centre

INTRODUCTION: The aetiology and management of ovarian pathology in children differs between antenatal and postnatal lesions. However, all lesions may present acutely due to adnexal torsion. In this setting, opportunities to preserve fertility with ovary-sparing surgery (OSS) may be missed. Some studies suggest that pediatric and adolescent gynaecology (PAG) input in care is associated with OSS. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of children undergoing surgery for ovarian pathology at a tertiary pediatric surgery centre over an 8-year period (2011-2018). Patient factors, lesion characteristics and PAG involvement were examined for association with OSS using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients with ovarian pathology managed surgically were included. Ten were infants with lesions detected antenatally; all were managed by pediatric surgeons (PS) alone at median age 2 weeks (1 day-25 weeks). Twenty-five patients presented postnatally at median age 11 (0.75-15) years. In total, there were 16 cases of adnexal torsion, each managed primarily by PS. Twelve underwent oophorectomy and six (50%) of these cases had viable ovarian tissue on histology. Furthermore, two infants with large simple cysts were similarly managed by unnecessary oophorectomy based on histology. Overall rate of OSS was 46% and PAG involvement was the only factor associated with ovarian salvage. CONCLUSION: Differences in surgical management between PAGs and PS may be attributable to the different patient populations they serve. We recommend improving the knowledge of PS trainees in OSS approaches for adnexal torsion and large benign lesions

Traitement des incertitudes des avis à dire d'expert pour l'évaluation de la sûreté des digues

3rd European Conference on Flood Risk Management FLOODrisk 2016, Lyon, FRA, 17-/10/2016 - 21/10/2016International audienceIn France, levees remain most of the time badly maintained; these long linear structures show signs of weaknesses on numerous occasions. Only incomplete information is usually available. The general lack of data describing the behaviour of the infrastructure during unwanted events led to estimate their safety mainly from expert judgement. Thus the ability of the expert to predict the level of functioning of an infrastructure for a type of hazard and its intensity is crucial. An error of judgement can have very serious consequences and the production of reliable information requires the ability of the expert to report accurately the uncertainties in its estimations, as well as associated confidence. In order to meet this need, our research within Incertu project (French Ministry of Ecology funding) aims to produce relevant scientific approaches and tools for the collection and processing reliable experts'statements or combined with a confidence level in the context of uncertain information and input data

Power Oligarchy: The Game of Cartel in Cooking Oil Scarcity

Allegations related to the cartel arise every time Indonesia experiences a shortage of cooking oil. The study aims to discuss the causes of the scarcity of cooking oil in Indonesia. Is it because of Permendagri Number 06 of 2022 or because of a cartel or is it caused by an artificial scarcity made by a syndicate? And whether this cartel and scarcity have anything to do with it. The study used qualitative research. The study uses normative or socio legal by analyzing relevant sources and news related to the scarcity of cooking oil. The results showed that the cause of the scarcity of cooking oil was the highest retail price which was marked by the issuance of Permendagri No. 6 of 2022, the law of one price which causes arbitrage, artificial scarcity by businessman, panic buying among the public, conditional sales and distribution problems. The relationship between the cartel and the scarcity of cooking oil lies in its complex and non-transparent distribution to consumers. The cartel group restrains the widely circulated cooking oil products with HRP because the businessman will lose out automatically if sold at HRP. Therefore, businessman withdraw products from the market and resulting in scarcity

SemEval-2017 Task 1: semantic textual similarity - multilingual and cross-lingual focused evaluation

Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) measures the meaning similarity of sentences. Applications include machine translation (MT), summarization, generation, question answering (QA), short answer grading, semantic search, dialog and conversational systems. The STS shared task is a venue for assessing the current state-of-the-art. The 2017 task focuses on multilingual and cross-lingual pairs with one sub-track exploring MT quality estimation (MTQE) data. The task obtained strong participation from 31 teams, with 17 participating in all language tracks. We summarize performance and review a selection of well performing methods. Analysis highlights common errors, providing insight into the limitations of existing models. To support ongoing work on semantic representations, the STS Benchmark is introduced as a new shared training and evaluation set carefully selected from the corpus of English STS shared task data (2012-2017)

Media Dan Bayang-Bayang Maqasid Al-Mukallaf (Trial By The Press Dan Pemberitaan) Studi Kasus Harian Berita Kota Kendari

The article points out the news broadcasted by mass media influenced by maqashid al-mukallaf. It aims to create a harmony delivered to the society. This paper employs the theory of existence which includes several elements; such as frame, stereotype, prejudice, and the situation definition. This article indicates that based on the media perspective, the news coverage cannot be restricted by only certain authorized sides, but ethics and conscience. When certain journalists find and listen to certain statement, they are encouraged to select, write, and delete certain information before broadcasting it as the news. News may not harm anyone. There are three levels of benefit; trick cannot leave the benefits behind. Trick or manipulation is not allowed if it violates the benefits, therefore law manipulation is prohibited. Media will be punished after doing contempt of which means that media is considered doing trial by press and need to take its responsibility

Hukum Islam dan Ketatanegaraan (Sebuah Transformasi Hukum dalam Masyarakat)

The paper elaborates transformation of Islamic law in constitution of Indonesia, in which the problem is what the position and Islamic law existence in the system of Indonesia constitution. By seeing various social phenomena and fact that occur in society to do activities and action related to the law. Islamic law in Indonesia is a chain which is not possible to be separated from the historic fact/long history experienced by this nation. Since proclaimed independence of Indonesia on 17 August 1945, it is started the new era of law system in the world of Archipelago which separate between colonial law and system of national law. There are many contradictions and controversy to build national law system, because the laws are not completely based on customary law and Islamic law as well as western law. So the form of constitution is an effort to make a change to something that had already existed, they are adaptation and change. The process or transformation effort of Islamic law to the national constitution was meant as an attempt to apply normative Islamic law to positive Islamic law or usually called positivism Islamic law to the constitution of Indonesia. Constitution perspective has balance to relation among state, law, and religion. Religion is the first component which is in the deepest circle position, proved by the first moral principle of the Pancasila that is there is only one God. Islamic law principles which becomes ideal basic of fiqih they are: Principle of tauhidullah, Principle of insaniyah, Principle tasamuh, Principle of ta’awun, Principles of silaturahim bain annas, Principle of justice, and Principle of benefit.Dalam tulisan ini mengurai tentang transformasi hukum islam dalam bingkai ketatanegaraan di Indonesia, dengan permasalahan bagaimana Kedudukan dan Eksistensi Hukum Islam dalam sistem Ketatanegaraan Indonesia. Dengan melihat berbagai fenomena social dan fakta yang terjadi dalam masyarakat dalam melakukan aktifitas dan perbuatan yang berkaitan dengan hukum. Mengingat hukum Islam di Indonesia merupakan mata rantai yang tidak mungkin dipisahkan dari fakta historis/sejarah panjang yang dialami oleh perjalanan bangsa. Sejak diproklamirkannya kemerdekaan Indonesia pada tanggal 17 Agustus 1945 dimulailah era baru dalam tata hukum di bumi Nusantara ini yang memisahkan antara hukum kolonial dengan tata hukum nasional. Banyak terjadi kontradiksi dan kontroversi dalam mewujudkan tata hukum nasional, karena tidak seluruhnya bersandar kepada hukum adat dan hukum Islam serta hukum barat.Sehingga bentuk konstitusi merupakan suatu usaha untuk mengadakan perubahan terhadap sesuatu yang telah ada menjadi sesuatu yang baru, antara lain dengan penyesuaian dan perubahan. Proses atau upaya transformasi hukum Islam ke dalam tata hukum nasional dimaksudkan sebagai usaha menerapkan hukum Islam yang normatif menjadi hukum Islam yang positif atau yang sering disebut usaha positifisme hukum Islam ke dalam tata hukum Indonesia. Perspektif konstitusi terdapat keseimbangan mengenai hubungan negara, hukum, dan agama. Agama sebagai komponen pertama berada pada posisi lingkaran yang terdalam, terbukti prinsip ketuhanan menjadi sila yang pertama dalam Pancasila. Prinsip-prinsip Hukum Islam yang dijadikan landasan ideal fiqih yaitu: Prinsip tauhidullah, Prinsip insaniyah, Prinsip tasamuh, Prinsip ta’awun, Prinsip silaturahim bain annas, Prinsip keadilan, dan Prinsip kemaslahatan
