Ramadan tafsir of the glorious Qur’an goes virtual during Covid-19 lockdown in Nigeria

The researchers were motivated by the adoption of digital communication applications and social media platforms by some Islamic scholars in Nigeria to conduct annual Tafsir of the glorious Qur’an in Ramadan 2020 in the midst of coronavirus lockdown. The paper adopted Lull’s Gratification Theory for theoretical explanation of virtual interaction between the scholars who conducted the Tafsir from an isolated places and the audience who watched or listened from their homes in adherence to safety measures to stop the spread of the disease. Methodologically, the study adopted a cross-sectional research design and purposive sampling technique to elicit secondary data from the target participants. The study found that there is usage of digital medium of communication and interaction between Islamic clerics and their followers. This explains the flexibility of Islam to embrace development, adopt and adapt it in conformity with Islamic rules and regulations. The findings also show that Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram are the most common internet based interactive platforms which Islamic scholars explored and disseminated their Tafsir virtual to the audience. The paper concludes that internet has enabled people not only to interact virtual but Tafsir and other forms of Islamic preaching can be conducted without co-presence of the preachers and the audience. The option of live streaming video on Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram which consume a lot amount of data has enabled Muslim users to followed the Ramadan Tafsir from distant places

Development of a quadruped mobile robot and its movement system using geometric-based inverse kinematics

As the main testbed platform of Artificial Intelligence, the robot plays an essential role in creating an environment for industrial revolution 4.0. According to their bases, the robot can be categorized into a fixed based robot and a mobile robot. Current robotics research direction is interesting since people strive to create a mobile robot able to move in the land, water, and air. This paper presents development of a quadruped mobile robot and its movement system using geometric-based inverse kinematics. The study is related to the movement of a four-legged (quadruped) mobile robot with three Degrees of Freedom (3 DOF) for each leg. Because it has four legs, the movement of the robot can only be done through coordinating the movements of each leg. In this study, the trot gait pattern method is proposed to coordinate the movement of the robot's legs. The end-effector position of each leg is generated by a simple trajectory generator with half rectified sine wave pattern. Furthermore, to move each robot's leg, it is proposed to use geometric-based inverse kinematic. The experimental results showed that the proposed method succeeded in moving the mobile robot with precision. Movement errors in the translation direction are 1.83% with the average pose error of 1.33 degrees, means the mobile robot has good walking stability

Physicochemical Analysis and Antioxidant Activity of Honey from Three Malaysian Stingless Bees Species

This study investigates physicochemical and antioxidant activity of raw and honey extract from three different species of Malaysian stingless bees. The methanol extract of commonly found Heterotrigona itama (EHI), Tetratgonula laeviceps (ETL) and Geniotrigona thoracica (EGT) was tested for their total flavonoid, total phenolic, moisture, ash, fat, protein and carbohydrate. Antioxidant activity through DPPH radical scavenging activity was also determined. Nutritional analysis of raw honey showed a comparable result. Analysis of total flavonoid and total phenolic for honey extract showed a significant difference between three species. In contrast, raw honeys did not show any significant differences between species. The antioxidant testing showed that the three honeys does not possess good antioxidant activity with inhibition lower than 50%. ETL showed the highest inhibition with IC50 of 37.8%, followed by EHI with 24.3% and EGT with 9.8% of inhibition, respectively. Thin layer chromatography analysis revealed the content of phenolic and flavonoids in all tested honey. The three extracts displayed a characteristic profile and vary from each other. This study revealed that bee species is important in determination of honey’s quality

Prosedur Poligami di Malaysia (Analisis AktaUndang-Undang Keluarga Islam Wilayah-Wilayah Persekutuan)

Prosedur poligami di Malaysia masih tidak seragam karena setiap negeri bagian masih menggunakkan prosedur yang tersendiri. Artikel ini membahas 2 hal, yaitu; bagaimana prosedur poligami di Malaysia khususnya di Wilayah Persekutuan dan bagaimana tinjauan hukum Islam terhadap perbedaan prosedur poligami yang ada di Wilayah Persekutuan dan negeri Terengganu. Artikel ini, menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan (library research) dengan mengkaji buku yang berisikan informasi mengenai prosedur poligami. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan prosedur poligami di Wilayah Persekutuan dan negeri Terengganu yang diatur dalam akta dan enakmen ini adalah pengaruh dan wewenang setiap negeri bagian bagi menetapkan pensyaratan dalam prosedur poligami di setiap negeri masing-masing. Prosedur poligami Wilayah Persekutuan mempunyai pensyaratan yang ketat untuk seseorang suami berpoligami dengan adanya izin istri sebelum permohonan poligami dilaksanakan sedangkan negeri Terengganu meringankan pensyaratan poligami dan tanpa perlu izin istri dan hanya perlu ke mahkamah syari‘ah untuk mendapatkan borang permohonan poligami

Burnout among surgeons before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: an international survey

Background: SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had many significant impacts within the surgical realm, and surgeons have been obligated to reconsider almost every aspect of daily clinical practice. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study reported in compliance with the CHERRIES guidelines and conducted through an online platform from June 14th to July 15th, 2020. The primary outcome was the burden of burnout during the pandemic indicated by the validated Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure. Results: Nine hundred fifty-four surgeons completed the survey. The median length of practice was 10 years; 78.2% included were male with a median age of 37 years old, 39.5% were consultants, 68.9% were general surgeons, and 55.7% were affiliated with an academic institution. Overall, there was a significant increase in the mean burnout score during the pandemic; longer years of practice and older age were significantly associated with less burnout. There were significant reductions in the median number of outpatient visits, operated cases, on-call hours, emergency visits, and research work, so, 48.2% of respondents felt that the training resources were insufficient. The majority (81.3%) of respondents reported that their hospitals were included in the management of COVID-19, 66.5% felt their roles had been minimized; 41% were asked to assist in non-surgical medical practices, and 37.6% of respondents were included in COVID-19 management. Conclusions: There was a significant burnout among trainees. Almost all aspects of clinical and research activities were affected with a significant reduction in the volume of research, outpatient clinic visits, surgical procedures, on-call hours, and emergency cases hindering the training. Trial registration: The study was registered on clicaltrials.gov "NCT04433286" on 16/06/2020

Decolorization of Diazo Dye Ponceau S by Fenton Process

An attempt has been taken to decolorize and mineralize Ponceau S (PS), a diazo dye, in aqueous solution by Fenton process. Effects of solution pH, concentrations of H2O2, Fe(II) and PS on the decolorization of PS have also been studied through batch experiments. About 90% decolorization was found under the optimal conditions [PS]: [H2O2]: [Fe(II)] = 1:12:2 and [H2O2]/[Fe(II)] = 6 at pH 2.85 in 40 minutes. The overall results revealed that mineralization was rather slower as compared with the decolorization
