Kontekstualisasi Hukum Waris di Indonesia: Tinjauan Maqashid Syari’ah terhadap Hak Waris Ayah pada Pasal 177 Kompilasi Hukum Islam

This article aims to analyze the renewal of Islamic inheritance law in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) regarding inheritance rights for fathers from the perspective of ijtihad, maslahah, and maqashid sharia. This study is a part of legal research using the library method. The approach used in this study is historical and juridical normative. The data obtained were then analyzed with the interactive qualitative analysis of the Miles and Huberman model, namely data reduction, data verification, and concluding. This study found that the provision of the father's inheritance was rejected as a valid product of ijtihad. Viewed from the perspective of maqashid al-syar'iyyah, this provision does not at all try to maintain the five basic principles above, both the maintenance of religion (din), soul (nafs), reason (aqal), offspring (nasab), property (mal). On the other hand, these provisions only bring harm.Keywords: Compilation of Islamic Law; Father inheritance share; Inheritance La

Nondestructive testing using ultrasonic sensor

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is the process of inspection or evaluating materials or component without destroying the functionality, serviceability and the structure of the testing product. Therefore, after the inspection is done the testing product can still be used as usual compared to the destructive testing that can cause the damage to the testing product. In the other word destructive testing has limitation because of the technique need a sampling product rather than on the materials is already put into the service. NDT are often used to determine the properties of the materials such as strengthen ductility, porosity and toughness. Todays, NDT are widely used in industries, manufacturing, and fabrication and in service inspection to ensure the quality of the product. Besides that, NDT also can reduce production cost by minimize the damage onto the product and also can reduce the production time by without damaging the testing product. Also in construction field, there are many benefits from NDT process toward this area such as to evaluate the strength of concrete. There are many method of NDT today such as Magnetic Particle Testing, Ultrasonic Testing, and Vibration Analysis. For testing of the building basically people are used the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) and Rebound Hammer. This paper is specifically discussed about the Nondestructive Testing (NDT) by using Ultrasonic

COVID 19 استراتيجية التعلم الذاتي في تعليم مهارات الكالم لمواجهة (Self-Learning Strategy in Teaching Speech Skills to Face COVID 19)

Education has new requirements for teaching the individual how to teach himself by himself to continuous education and lifelong learning. Self-regulated learning is one of the central axes to accommodate these rapid and successive developments, mainly when global crises occurred. Self-regulated learning can help students become independent learners to achieve their goals. It can also reach distinctive performance, especially for developing the linguistic skills represented in speech skills, whose impact appears daily through effective human communication, whether oral or written communication. The research technique used is a literature study. This study aims to shed light on the self-regulated learning strategy to developing speaking skills, and its implications, in terms of the effects of the Corona pandemic (COVID 19) on various educational activities. Also, clarifying what is meant by speech and developing his skills, and knowing the learning strategy and how to use it in developing speech skills. The problem-solving strategy is considered one of the essential self-learning strategies. The learner independently develops his skills and knowledge by searching for practical solutions to real problems by relying on oneself. Self-regulated learning is considered a successful method for developing speech skills. The student's performance as the independent learner can be measured through his various daily social activities in order to help him evaluate his strategies followed and choose the most difficult ones to achieve the goals of the self-education process, and to reach the required level of language skill
