For media information, radio playing a significant role in conveying the values of Islam which is very important in the formation of a true Muslim personalities in accordance with the demands of the Prophet Muhammad. The existence of an Islam-based radio is felt to be very important because Islam should be spread widely and truth telling is the responsibility of the Muslims as a whole. As word of Allah in Surah al-Imran: 104.`Dari permaslahan above authors take the title essay propaganda through radio (program analysis consultancy Islam in Mesra radio FM) as the research object because the writer wanted to know how the production process of consultation Islam, what enabling and inhibiting factors Islam consultation program and analyze descriptively Islam consultation program. This research is using the case study method with the aim to explain the phenomenon through data collection techniques. This type of research is descriptive qualitative approach and used the theory of critical theory and the theory of mechanics.Hasil penelitian yang didapat adalah program konsultasi agama Islam merupakan program mingguan yang mengudara mulai pukul 10.30-11.30 disetiap hari Jum\u27at. The program has a dialog format or interactive manner. Factors supporting the consultation program of Islam, namely: Supported by the government and people of the city of Pare Pare while the limiting factor is the lack of public interest in consulting the religion of Islam, the lack of infrastructure in implementing the program, bad weather at the time of the program which affects not maximal broadcasting. Islam consultation program is very useful for people, especially in the town of Pare Pare, for answering complaints or problems faced by the people in the religious practice of Islam
Lattice dynamics and vibrational spectra of the orthorhombic, tetragonal and cubic phases of methylammonium lead iodide
The hybrid halide perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 exhibits a complex structural
behaviour, with successive transitions between orthorhombic, tetragonal and
cubic polymorphs at ca. 165 K and 327 K. Herein we report first-principles
lattice dynamics (phonon spectrum) for each phase of CH3NH3PbI3. The
equilibrium structures compare well to solutions of temperature-dependent
powder neutron diffraction. By following the normal modes we calculate infrared
and Raman intensities of the vibrations, and compare them to the measurement of
a single crystal where the Raman laser is controlled to avoid degradation of
the sample. Despite a clear separation in energy between low frequency modes
associated with the inorganic PbI3 network and high-frequency modes of the
organic CH3NH3+ cation, significant coupling between them is found, which
emphasises the interplay between molecular orientation and the corner-sharing
octahedral networks in the structural transformations. Soft modes are found at
the boundary of the Brillouin zone of the cubic phase, consistent with
displacive instabilities and anharmonicity involving tilting of the PbI6
octahedra around room temperature.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
Physics-informed laboratory estimation of Sargassum windage
A recent Maxey--Riley theory for \sarg raft motion, which models a raft as a
network of elastically interacting finite-size, buoyant particles, predicts the
carrying flow velocity to be given by the weighted sum of the water and air
velocities . The theory provides a
closed formula for parameter , referred to as \emph{windage}, depending
on water-to-particle-density ratio or buoyancy (). From a series of
laboratory experiments in an air--water stream flume facility under controlled
conditions, we estimate ranging from 0.02 to 0.96\pct. On average, our
windage estimates can be up to 9 times smaller than considered in conventional
\emph{Sargassum} raft transport modeling, wherein it is customary to add a
fraction of to chosen in an ad-hoc piecemeal manner.
Using the formula provided by the Maxey--Riley theory, we estimate
ranging from 1.00 to 1.49. This is consistent with direct
measurements, ranging from 0.9 to 1.25, which provide support for our
estimation
Insulator-Metal Transition in One Dimension Induced by Long-Range Electronic Interactions
The effects of a long range electronic potential on a one dimensional
commensurate Charge Density Wave (CDW) state are investigated. Using numerical
techniques it is shown that a transition to a metallic ground state is reached
as the range of the electron-electron repulsion increases. In this metallic
state, the optical conductivity exhibits a large Drude weight. Possible
interpretations of our results are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, Revtex, minor misprints corrected and a reference to earlier

Wigner Crystal in One Dimension
A one--dimensional gas of electrons interacting with long--range Coulomb
forces () is investigated. The excitation spectrum consists
of separate collective charge and spin modes, with the charge excitation
energies in agreement with RPA calculations. For arbitrarily weak Coulomb
repulsion density correlations at wavevector decay extremely slowly and
are best described as those of a one--dimensional Wigner crystal. Pinning of
the Wigner crystal then leads to the nonlinear transport properties
characteristic of CDW. The results allow a consistent interpretation of the
plasmon and spin excitations observed in one--dimensional semiconductor
structures, and suggest an interpretation of some of the observed features in
terms of ``spinons''. A possible explanation for nonlinear transport phenomena
is given.Comment: 10 pages, RevTe
Modern relationships between microscopic charcoal in marine sediments and fire regimes on adjacent landmasses to refine the interpretation of marine paleofire records: An Iberian case study
Marine microcharcoal records provide invaluable information to understand changes in biomass burning and its drivers over multiple glacial and interglacial cycles and to evaluate fire models under warmer climates than today. However, quantitative reconstructions of burnt area, fire intensity and frequency from these records need calibration studies of the current fire-microcharcoal relationship. Here, we present the analysis of microcharcoal concentration and morphology in 102 core-top sediment samples collected in the Iberian margin and the Gulf of Cádiz. We show that microcharcoal concentrations are influenced by the water depth or the distance from the river mouth. At regional scale, the mean microcharcoal concentrations and microcharcoal elongation (length to width ratio) show a marked latitudinal variation in their distribution, primarily controlled by the type of burnt vegetation in the adjacent continent. High microcharcoal concentrations in marine sediments represent rare, large and intense fires in open Mediterranean woodlands. Based on these results, the increasing trend of microcharcoal concentrations recorded since 8 ka in the well-known marine sedimentary core MD95-2042 off the Iberian margin indicates the occurrence of large and infrequent fires of high intensity due to the progressive degradation of the Mediterranean forest and the expansion of shrublands
Socio-demographic indicators of self-reported health based on EQ-5D-3L: A cross-country analysis of population surveys from 18 countries
BackgroundGeneric health-related quality of life instruments, such as the EQ-5D, are increasingly used by countries to monitor population health via general population health surveys. Our aim was to demonstrate analytic options to measure socio-demographic differences in self-reported health using the EuroQol Group's archive of EQ-5D-3L population surveys that accumulated over the past two decades.MethodsAnalyses captured self-reported EQ-5D-3L data on over 100,000 individuals from 18 countries with nationally representative population surveys. Socio-demographic indicators employed were age, sex, educational level and income. Logistic regression odds ratios and the health concentration index methodology were used in the socio-demographic analysis of EQ-5D-3L data.ResultsStatistically significant socio-demographic differences existed in all countries (p < 0.01) with the EQ VAS based health concentration index varying from 0.090 to 0.157 across countries. Age had generally the largest contributing share, while educational level also had a consistent role in explaining lower levels of self-reported health. Further analysis in a subset of 7 countries with income data showed that, beyond educational level, income itself had an additional significant impact on self-reported health. Among the 5 dimensions of the EQ-5D-3L descriptive system, problems with usual activities and pain/discomfort had the largest contribution to the concentration of overall self-assessed health measured on the EQ VAS in most countries.ConclusionThe EQ-5D-3L was shown to be a powerful multi-dimensional instrument in the analyses of socio-demographic differences in self-reported health using various analytic methods. It offered a unique insight of inequalities by health dimensions
