The Effect of Dhikrullah on Brain Health According to Neuroscience

Dhikrullah according to verse 2 of chapter al-Anfal and verse 28 of chapter ar-Rad in the Koran has a vibrational effect on the calmness of the heart. Dhikrullah has been practiced by Muslims for more than a thousand years, but the explanation of the implications of the dhikrullah's vibration on human health from the neuroscience approach has yet to be completed. This study is an academic response to get scientific answers about the influence of dhikrullah on the health of the human brain. The attention of Islamic scholars to dhikrullah phenomena from the scientific approach is still far from hope, so the explanation of the effects of the dhikrullah's vibration on human mental health has not been completed. In this study, the authors used combined data, qualitative data from 4 respondents to find the model of dhikrullah and quantitative data from 10 subjects to obtain samples of brain waves through Electro Encephalo Graf (EEG) to see the effects of the dhikrullah on human brain waves. The results of the study show that the brain tends to adjust its frequency with the frequency of the sound stimulus it receives through the ear. Dhikrullah's vibration influences beta waves and alpha waves on the subject's brain waves while running the dhikrullah. According to EEG, dhikrullah is proven to be able to present alpha waves as a stimulus to neurotransmitters in the human brain to produce endorphins. Therefore, the authors conclude that this study is a new approach to see the process of the significance of the dhikrullah's vibration on human health. The United Nations, especially WHO, can use dhikrullah vibration as an approach to help human beings who need a solution from a spiritual approach permanently

Distraksi Visual Eksternal pada Arsitektur: Resiko pada Pengendara dan Mitigasinya

Arsitektur modern semakin berorientasi okular sehingga menimbulkan distraksi visual bagi masyarakat pengguna jalan di kawasan urban. Tidak mengherankan jika zaman ini disebut sebagai zaman distraksi. Walau begitu, penelitian mengenai distraksi eksternal dari arsitektur pada pengendara kendaraan bermotor masih sangat jarang dilakukan. Hal ini mempersulit para pengambil keputusan untuk membuat pengaturan yang ditopang bukti untuk menghilangkan atau mengurangi distraksi visual yang disebabkan oleh arsitektur pada tata kelola lalu lintas. Makalah ini meninjau literatur yang ada mengenai peran arsitektur dalam distraksi visual dan kemudian menggunakan tinjauan terhadap bangunan-bangunan ikonik dunia untuk mengkarakterisasi pola-pola penanganan distraksi visual. Penelitian ini menemukan tiga metode eliminasi distraksi visual yaitu pengambilan jarak yang jauh sehingga tidak terlihat dari jalan raya, pemakaian topeng visual seperti tembok dan pepohonan, dan desain lantai bawah yang tidak mencolok. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pemahaman yang lebih mendalam mengenai arsitektur yang ramah pada pengguna jalan dan memberikan landasan bagi pengembangan proposal kebijakan yang diarahkan untuk mereduksi distraksi visual saat berkendara

Radiographic Evaluation of Osteoporosis Through Detection of Jaw Bone Changes: a Simplified Early Osteoporosis Detection Effort

Osteoporosis has become a worldwide problem and has been known as a silence disease. Nowadays, there are a lot of diagnostic tools for detecting osteoporosis. Eighty eight postmenopausal were included and underwent digital panoramic, digital periapical, and conventional radiography. Ultrasound bone densitometry of os calcis used as gold standard. Correlation between stiffness index (SI) with a digital dental, digital panoramic and conventional dental radiography are 0.170 (p = 0.11), -0382 (p = 0.001) and 0.246 (p = 0.021) respectively. Significant relationship was found between the SI only with digital panoramic and conventional dental. The highest correlation was found between SI values with mandibular Inferior Cortex on digital panoramic (-0.382, Pearson Correlation Tests). Correlation between digital panoramic radiographs and the SI values was the highest of the three radiographic modalities in this study. This indicates that evaluation of cortical bone is more accurate than cancellous bone. Bone quality evaluation in patients at high risk for osteoporosis using panoramic and dental conventional radiograph by dentist, contributes in preventing further occurrence of osteoporosis which in turn could reduce mortality and morbidity of osteoporosis in Indonesia

Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR) in LTE-A Heterogeneous Networks based upon Power Ratio Evaluation

As the traffic demand grows and the RF environment changes, the mobile network relies on techniques such as SFR in Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) to overcome capacity and link budget limitation to maintain user experience. Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) strongly affecting Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) of active UEs, especially cell-edge users, which leads to a significant degradation in the total throughput. In this paper we evaluate the performance of SFR with HetNet system in order dealing with interferences. Simulation result shows that the power ratio control in SFR HetNet system doesn’t have much effect on total achieved capacity for overall cell

Computer-supported Collaborative Work Berlandaskan Teori Aktivitas, Serta Usaha Meningkatkan Collaborative Awareness

Computer-supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is a concept that emphasizes the collaborative aspect in information technology applications. A great many CSCW systems have been developed so that Schill, for example, cites no less than ten different classification foundations. The many choices available can be very confusing for the management of an organization that wishes to implement CSCW. One of the features that must be set up by CSCW software producers is collaboration awareness, which is the ability of the software to "know" that it is being used by several people at the same time. Research shows that there have been efforts to create collaboration awareness not only of the software, but also of the user. One of these efforts is to display the social activity awareness in a CSCW session

Perbandingan Pengaruh Teknik Pemodelan Entity-relationship Model dan Resources-events-agents Model Atas Perancangan Database Perusahaan

Databases are an important part of most computer-based information systems. As such, the design of a database has also gained importance because a bad design will compromise data integrity as well as make it inefficient in its use of resources. This paper compares the effect of two data modeling approaches on the design of a database, specifically the Entity-Relationship Model (ER Model) and the Resources-Events -Agents Model (REA Model). First, the sales/collection cycle of a fictional case study is described. Then, an ER Model and a REA Model are independently created based on this case study. Finally, one database design is created based on the ER Model, and another database design is created based on the REA Model. The outcome of this experiment shows that both approaches produced similar database designs, but the design processes were different in their complexity, structurally, and completeness. A significant difference is that the ER Model closely followed those aspects that were already laid out by the case study, while the REA Model started out by building a most complete data model, over and above the one described in the case study
