    This study aimed at finding the values ​​of local wisdom as well as strategies for transformation and internalization of these values ​​in the curriculum for students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah. This was qualitative research, and the sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interview techniques, documentation, and strengthened by focus group discussions (consisting of 5 experts). The validity of the data was confirmed by the triangulation technique. The data were analyzed using inductive techniques to reveal the implicit/explicit meaning of the information in the field. The results of the study indicated that the value of learning needed to be adjusted to the character of the community. Characteristics of the Acehnese people who have a strong, reactive, and exocentric character, are more effective in learning through the use of symbols of local values. One of these local values ​​is peumalèe. Peumalèe can be explicitly implemented in the curriculum and implicitly embedded in the school curriculum. The value of peumalèe not only has a strong foundation in student learning because it is related to their daily beliefs and worship but also has social and religious sanctions for those who violate it

    In order to maintain performance, training is a must and there is no exceptional during Ramadan fasting. However, studies have showed that Ramadan fasting causes significant changes in calories intake as well as blood glucose concentration and this might affect the athlete's performance, Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the blood glucose levels of fasting and non-fasting competitive endurance athletes before and after endurance test during Ramadan fasting month. Eight subjects (fasting, n ~ 4, non-fasting , n ~ 4) with an average age of 23.1 ± 3.0 years, height of 167.0 ± 6.6cm, weight of 56.5 ± 7.4 kg and BMI of 20.2 ± 2.1 participated in the study. All subjects were competitive runners who are involved in annual MALAKOFF University Dualthon Series since year 2008 till now. Subjects were required to complete 2.4km run test at their fastest pace, three times with rest at least two days between each trial. Measurements were pre- and post-run blood glucose (Accu check, Performa, Roche Diagnostics NZ Ltd, New Zealand), heart rate monitoring (Polar Heart Rate, Polar Electro Oy, Finland) and performance time. Gathered data were analysed using independent t-test via Statistical Package for Social Science version 14.0 (SPSS 14.0) in order to compare the result between fasting and non-fasting groups. The pre-run blood glucose of the fasting group (4.gmmoI/L ± 0.4) was lower than the non-fasting group (6.2mmoI/L ± 0.6), which similar to study by Bouhlel et al. (2008) [4.8mmoI/L ± 0.4 (t st week Ramadan) and 4.8mmol/L ± 0.4 (final week Ramadan)] but higher than study by Nomani et al. (1989) [4.51 mmol/L ± 0.67 (day 15) and 4.24mmo1/L ± 0.34 (day 28)]. Results indicated a significant difference of pre-run blood glucose (t~- 3 .08, p=.022) between groups but not on the post-run blood glucose. In terms of performance time, the fasting group was 11 .63 ± 1.87 minutes, and the non-fasting group was 11 .1 2 ± 0.94 minutes which shown no significant difference with t=.488, p=.643. These showed that maintaining blood glucose level during fasting is unnecessary for performance continuation but might important for healthy purposes

    This research aimed to investigate the ultrafiltration of water from emulsified oily wastewater through the application of surface-functionalized ceramic membrane to enhance its water permeability based on optimized parameters using a cross-flow filtration system. The interactive effects of feed concentration (10–1000 ppm), pH (4–10), and pressure (0–3 bar) on the water flux and oil rejection were investigated. Central composite design (CCD) from response surface methodology (RSM) was employed for statistical analysis, modeling, and optimization of operating conditions. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that the oil rejection and water flux models were significant with p-values of 0.0001 and 0.0075, respectively. In addition, good correlation coefficients of 0.997 and 0.863 were obtained for the oil rejection and water flux models, respectively. The optimum conditions for pressure, pH, and feed concentration were found to be 1.5 bar, pH 8.97, and 10 ppm, respectively with water flux and oil rejection maintained at 152 L/m2·h and 98.72%, respectively. Hence, the functionalized ultrafiltration ceramic membrane enables the separation efficiency of the emulsified oil in water to be achieved
