EKONOMI POLITIK INSTITUSI ZAKAT: SATU PENELITIAN TERHADAP INSTITUSI ZAKAT DI PULAU PINANG

Institutional charity is a charity trustee body appointed by the Islamic government for a state or country aimed at governing the collection and distribution of zakat and all related recipients. In Malaysia, zakat management is under the responsibility of His Royal Highness (HRH) Sultan or King. However, for those states that do not have the monarch as Melaka, Sabah, Sarawak and Penang, zakat management is under the responsibility of His Majesty the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong (SPBA). In most states, the management and administration of charity performed by the State Islamic Religious Council (MAIN) and the state government as a representative of each of the sultan or king. Even so, the state of Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor and Penang, management and administration is carried out by the institution's corporate charity. Out of the total of the country, the management and administration of the zakat institution in Penang is unique because the Penang State Government administration headed by a non-Muslim. The question is, how is the political economy of charity institutions in Penang under the administration of the state government led by the non-Muslim? Are the Penang state government plays a role in determining the direction of zakat institutions governance in Penang? Based on these issues, the study was conducted to identify and analyze the political economy of charity institutions in Penang. This study was performed using two methods of data collection, namely the first, methods study the document; and second, the interview method. The data collected is then analyzed using content analysis. The results of the analysis, it can be concluded three things. First, the establishment of Zakat Pulau Pinang (ZPP) is a strategy Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Pulau Pinang (MAINPP) to strengthen the political economy of charity institutions in Penang. Second, the economy and politics mutually need each other in charity governance institutions in Penang. Third, the political economy of charity institutions in Penang has made zakat governance in Penang more systematic and professional and have a positive impact on the improvement of collection and distribution of zakat in Penang.Keywords: Political Economy, Political Economy Institutions Zakat, Zakat Institution in Penan

Application of Bamboo Composite for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Rod Structure

Researchers are exploring the use of natural fibers, such as bamboo fibers, as a replacement for synthetic fibers in composite materials due to environmental concerns and rising costs. Bamboo fibers have several benefits, including low cost, biodegradability, light weight, and good mechanical qualities. This study focused on the mechanical and physical characteristics of bamboo fiber composites for drone structures. Tensile tests were conducted, revealing a relatively low tensile strength ranging from 22026.99 to 5474.92 N/m3 compared to carbon fibre composites. The tensile strength was influenced by the composition and ratio of bamboo fibre and epoxy. The density of the bamboo fibre composite ranged from 0.9720 to 0.7790 g/cm3, which is lower than carbon fibre composites. Increasing the bamboo fibre content resulted in a decrease in density

Optical fiber tip sensor for glucose-adulterated honey detection

Honey, a natural sweet substance and also a high-value foodstuff has been a target for adulteration. This paper reports the early stage development of optical fiber tip sensor using a standard single mode fiber for adulterated honey detection. The development of simple, sensitive and low-cost sensor for direct detection of adulterated honey is a considerable interest in this context. A pure stingless bee honey was mixed with glucose adulterant at different volume ratios for the adulteration process. By changing this chemical composition, the refractive index of the adulterated honey varied and Fresnel reflection occured at the interface between the fiber tip and the adulterated honey solution also changed. The average sensitivity achieved by this sensor is 0.29 dBm/% with linear regression value up 0.97. This shows that, the sensor has a potential in adulterated honey detection

Study of thermal degradation of biomass wastes generated from palm oil milling plant

Thermal decomposition of empty fruit bunch (EFB), palm kernel shell (PKS) and palm oil milling effluent sludge (POMES) have been investigated. Thermogravimetry analysis was employed to determine the proximate analysis of the samples, and then to study the characteristic of the thermal degradation. Proximate analysis of the sample was conducted by introduce the samples into the TGA and run it under the nitrogen environment from 25 to 800 °C. The gas was shifted to oxygen to let the sample burn and left their ash. Thermal degradation studies were carried out by heating up the samples in TGA from 25 to 800 °C at different heating ratio. Second order kinetic model was applied to determine the characteristic of the degradation.

The Effect of Mixing Time and Mixing Sequence during Processing on the Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Keropok Lekor

The common practice of mixing in keropok lekor processing is carried out continuously to produce a homogenize batter with no specific time and sequence established yet. The goal of the work was to study the effect of different mixing time and sequence (intermittent and continuous) against the physicochemical and sensory properties of keropok lekor.  The  keropok lekor batter was mixed for 6, 12 or 18 min non-stop for the continuous mixing, while  the  intermittent mixing was carried out for 6  min  (2  min  mix and 2  min break),  12  min  (4  min  mix and 2  min break),  and  18  min  (6  min  mix and 2  min break).  The  intermittent  mixing  for  6  min  was the best method among all the treatments, where the results  for  the  moisture  content  (56.60±2.20),  protein  content  (10.23±1.21),  water  holding  capacity  (83.33±11.02),  linear  expansion  (5.86±2.32),  cooking  yield  (107.15±0.60),  lightness, redness and yellowness (colour), hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness (texture profile analysis) and  sensory  evaluation  scores were equivalent (p>0.05) or better (p<0.05) than the  continuous mixing or longer time of treatments.  This indicates that shorter time of mixing (6 min) with intermittent mixing sequence is sufficient to produce a good quality and homogenized dough of keropok lekor

A complicated case of rhabdomyolysis in dengue fever: finding balance between aggressive hydration and preventing plasma leakage in critical phase

We present a case of a 43-year-old gentleman presented with dengue shock syndrome following 5 days of fever associated with 2 days of diarrhea. Rhabdomyolysis was diagnosed on the 7th day of illness. He was treated with aggressive hydration and sodium bicarbonate and made an uneventful recovery. The mainstay of treatment is aggresive hydration, with rigorous monitoring of fluid balance. Our case demonstrates the importance of detecting rhabdomyolysis early, as it can worsens the outcome of dengue fever
