The Construction of Islamic State Law in the 5.0 Era from the Perspective of Maqasid al-Shariah

The discourse on Islamic constitutional law is consistently captivating and remains relevant for discussion. Islam, as a religion of mercy for all creation, takes the Quran and Hadith as its primary guidance without providing a specific qath’i (definite) pattern for formulating a state. Nonetheless, Islam has presented several general principles that can serve as the foundation and align with the objectives of Sharia in shaping a system of governance. This includes principles of justice (al-adalah), equality before the law (musawah), democratic consultation (as-syura), and the upholding of human rights and freedoms (al-hurriyah). This research aims to describe the principles of Islamic constitutional law while examining the characteristics of laws that can be implemented for Islamic societies as per the developments toward the era 5.0. Utilizing a qualitative research approach based on both digital and classical literature sources rooted in Islamic teachings (turats), this study formulates that the ideal Islamic constitutional law in the era 5.0, after adhering to its principles, should be dynamic, humanistic, and substantial. This assertion is substantiated by several laws that have been implemented, particularly in Indonesia, significantly contributing to the creation of harmony and tranquillity among its diverse population.
 Keywords: era 5.0, Islamic constitutional law, Maqasid Sharia

Environmental public policies in the microregion of Pires do Rio, Goiás: government perspectives at national and state levels

This article investigates the evolution of public environmental policies, both at federal and state level, in the Pires do Rio micro-region, aimed at mitigating the environmental impacts caused by industry, with a focus on the agro-industrial chain. The research was based on a bibliographic survey and data collection from federal and state government agencies linked to the environment, as well as digital sources that host the relevant legislation. The period analyzed ranged from 2000 to 2015, and the methodology applied included a comparative analysis of the data collected. It was observed that the prioritization of economic growth in Goiás has relegated environmental preservation to the background, directing efforts towards industrialization and agricultural expansion. The history of production in the Pires do Rio micro-region reflected a predominant orientation towards agricultural growth, which had a negative impact on initiatives aimed at implementing state and federal environmental policies. This scenario has led to the advancement of productive activities to the detriment of environmental preservation.

Does Basal Metabolism Really Influence the Prognosis of Childhood Obesity?

Childhood obesity is one of the greatest social and health problems of the 21st century. Exogenous obesity consists in the pathological increase in body mass due to the imbalance between caloric intake and expenditure. Different studies and preventive protocols have been carried out with the aim of solving this health problem. Likewise, different etiopathogenic factors such as metabolism and various diagnostic methods such as bioelectrical impedance, have been described. The hypothesis is based on the assumption that a low basal metabolic rate in the context of a caloric imbalance could lead to an increase in the incidence of exogenous or primary obesity with an increase in fat mass. The objectives of the study are to carry out an epidemiological description of the variables of the database obtained on childhood obesity from the clinic. To investigate whether there is an inversely proportional relationship between basal metabolism and a patient’s fat mass. To check if there are differences between sex and age of the patients with respect to the variables under study (basal metabolism and fat mass). To analyse whether there is a directly proportional relationship between basal metabolism and lean mass. To investigate whether there are differences in basal metabolic rate between patients according to sex and whether there are differences in fat mass between patients according to sex. To determine whether there are differences in basal metabolism between patients according to age (7-10 years and 11-14 years) and whether there are differences in fat mass between patients according to age (7-10 years and 11-14 years). To stipulate whether patients with early detection (age range: 7-10 years) and late detection (age range: 11-14 years) of childhood obesity can have a better evolution in fat mass. Material and methods: A total of 19 articles were used as bibliographic references, obtained from different digital sources such as ScienceDirect, CNN, La Vanguardia, SciELO and Pubmed, and from organizations such as the Basque Government and the University of Cantabria Library. In addition, the certificate of authorization for the epidemiological exploitation of the OSI Araba database (code 01/2019) has been obtained. Excel and SPSS Stadistics 29.0.2.0 were used to perform the statistical analysis. Conclusion: An epidemiological description of the variables of the database obtained on childhood obesity from the clinic has been carried out. An inversely proportional relationship between basal metabolism and fat mass in a patient has not been found. There is no directly proportional relationship between basal metabolism and lean mass. Differences in basal metabolism between patients according to sex are described. There are no differences in fat mass between patients according to sex. There are differences in basal metabolism between patients according to age (7-10 years and 11-14 years). No differences in fat mass between patients according to age (7-10 years and 11-14 years) were described. Patients with early detection (age range: 7-10 years) and late detection (age range: 11-14 years) of childhood obesity have a better evolution in fat mass.

Health crisis communication in Finnish news media: Evaluative images of the Covid-19 pandemic in digital news headlines

Abstract During crises, news headlines not only communicate objective information but also express attitudes and emotions towards the reported events through different linguistic markers of evaluation. By analysing Finnish headlines from digital news sources on 16–17 March 2020, in this article we unravel how evaluative parameters, themes, and actors construct evaluative images of Covid-19 in Finnish news media. The results show how themes such as daily lives, health, and restrictive measures are evaluated, for example, through emotivity, mental state, evidentiality, and style. Findings also highlight the variety of different actors, from authorities to ordinary citizens, involved in the headlines. Consequently, three evaluative images emerge: 1) the pandemic that evokes concern and solidarity in the everyday lives of citizens; 2) the pandemic as a challenging health crisis, with the authorities as responsible decision-makers; and 3) the pandemic as a crisis that creates concern and negatively impacts the different functions of society.

There is a high degree of digital literacy (Mean=4.4, SD=1.1) among undergraduates which influences their access to digital resources for academic purposes. Undergraduate students' digital resources use significantly predict their academic achievements (β=0.839, t=23.141, r2=.703, p <.001, df = 227). Promoting digital literacy initiatives and expanding the availability of digital resources are two useful recommendations offered. The study’s general conclusion is that resource descriptions, ease of accessibility, variety of formats, and interactive platforms for digital sources predict academic performance.

TEOLOGI BELASKASIH ALLAH DALAM PUISI “SEPOTONG HATI DI ANGKRINGAN” (2022) KARYA JOKO PINURBO

Every human being longs for intimacy with God, receiving His merciful grace. Many of Joko Pinurbo's poems raise the theme of the closeness of human relations. One of Pinurbo's articulate poems voicing social compassion is entitled "A Piece of Heart in Angkringan." However, the theological reading of God's mercy in the poem "A Piece of Heart in Angkringan" has not been explored among professional Indonesian theologians. Pope Francis encouraged pastoral theologians as "influencers of the Gospel" to utilize narrative, aesthetic and digital sources to communicate the Catholic faith to the world. Theological research on this poem can contribute to deepening the theology of God's mercy amidst the challenges of globalization of indifference. Both authors are interested in exploring the theology of God's mercy in the poem "A Piece of Heart in Angkringan" by Joko Pinurbo. How does poet Joko Pinurbo describe God's mercy in the poem "A Piece of Heart in Angkringan?" The two authors want to connect the social compassion implied in the poem "A Piece of Heart in Angkringan" with the theology of God's mercy. This research applies a theological reading method to poetry. The research results show the theological content of God's mercy in the words and metaphors that poet Joko Pinurbo explores in the poem "A Piece of Heart in Angkringan." The poet Joko Pinurbo's poetic exploration aligns with Pope Francis' exploration of the theology of God's mercy: "God is present amid His people, a presence that expresses His compassion and solidarity" (Misericordiae Vultus).

The aim of this study is to examine the most watched videos about the application of enoxaparine on Youtube in terms of quality, reliability, usefulness and comprehensiveness. The reason for examining the videos of the broadcasts on Youtube in the study is that Youtube is a digital information source that people can access easily. In the evaluation of the videos, the video power index was calculated based on both views and likes. The quality of the videos was evaluated according to the Global Quality Score-GQS score, and the reliability was evaluated according to the DISCERN scale scores. A total of 400 videos were watched in the study and analyzes were carried out with the remaining 34 videos after the exclusion criteria. 16 of these videos were uploaded by patients, 13 by healthcare professionals, and 5 by other individuals/institutions. 25 (73.5%) of the videos contain useful information and 9 (26.5%) misleading information. According to the quality scores of the videos calculated by GQS scoring, 15 were low, 6 were medium, and 13 were high quality videos. It was determined that the reliability and comprehensiveness scores of the videos were moderate. The results of the research revealed that Youtube videos are not an adequate instructional resource regarding the quality, safety and comprehensiveness of teaching self-injection of enoxaparine.

E-HRM: Learning approaches, applications and the role of artificial intelligence

E-HRM (Electronic Human Resources Management), which is derived from the concept of HRM (Human Resources Management) plays a significant role in automating certain key processes in the department of human resources. One of the modules of E-HRM is the training or the learning module, which when combined with a digital source turns out to be an E-Learning (Electronic Learning) or E-Training (Electronic Training) module. This is a transformation of converting the learning platform from an offline to an online mode. The organizations to increase their level of training from their employees should look for a fast-paced solution at a shorter turn-around time and the prime way to perform such a strategy is to automate the whole process of training and predict the training need and outcome. This research paper is focused on two aspects of e-learning i.e., how an e-learning system is collaborated with an intelligent system in the form of Artificial Intelligence and the other aspect is how an employee turn over data fetched from organizations in the IT (Information Technology) sector can help understand the real requirements of learning among employees in the IT organizations.

«Цифровой двойник» населения Арктики в демографических исследованиях и управлении развитием территорий

The article considers “digital twins” of the population as a tool for socio-demographic research and territorial management. The experience of creating digital twins of the population and interactive web-sites devoted to demographic issues is systematized. A methodology for creating a digital twin of the Arctic population is proposed, based on three methodological principles: consideration of the hierarchy of territories, spatial representation of data, and combining demographic statistics with new digital data sources. The author has developed the Digital twin of the Arctic population — an interactive website (dashboard) containing detailed data on the Arctic population, including municipal and settlement levels. It includes demographic statistics, census results and data from digital platforms. The Digital twin of the Arctic population covers such issues as the size, dynamics and composition of the population, resettlement, natural and migration movement, labor and employment, transport movements, science and education, and the impact of the pandemic on demographic processes. Tools of ranking, multivariate analysis, clustering and forecasting of indicator values are implemented for researchers. From the viewpoint of state and municipal management, the main interest is the demographic profiles of regions and territories, reflecting up-to-date information about the demographic situation. Using the Digital twin of the Arctic population, the author draws conclusions about the spatial patterns of the demographic development of the Russian Arctic.

ANALYSIS OF ELECTRONIC AND DIGITAL INFORMATION SOURCES USED BY FARMERS IN AFGHANISTAN

Agriculture is one of the prominent income sources for the farmers in Afghanistan. In order to get higher production farmers, utilize different information sources to meet their information needs.

Анализ методов подготовки и преобразования информации, поступающей в хранилища данных для эффективного управления горнотехнической системой

The article assesses the existing methods of data collection and processing in the industry and proposes an alternative option of data processing to manage mining engineering systems at various stages of their operation. It is demonstrated that the formed volume of information that comes with different frequency rates and requires dedicated processing, structuring and analysis methods forms a system of big data and serves to enhance the efficiency of implementing geotechnical processes. A possible unified structure of data acquisition from digital sources of mining engineering system is presented. An analysis is provided of possible methods to process data for analytical purposes and for searching implicit dependencies and solving problems of predictive analytics. Tools for data collection and storage are proposed to create a unified system of big data analysis for management of mining engineering systems. It is stated that in order to create a unified analytical system for collection of digital data from a mining system, it is necessary to use standard industrial protocols for data collection and storage, for instance MQTT, used as an industry standard in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems in accordance with requirements of ISO/ IEC 20922:2016. Storage requires the use of a conventional queue broker architecture, as well as a tool for working with the time series which is required to apply machine learning and big data methods. The approach to data classification in terms of the data acquisition speed proposed in the article makes it possible to standardize the data handling principles. Since the volume of transmitted data does not depend on the frequency of acquiring information from a digital source, it is proposed to transmit all the generated data from a digital source for subsequent search of implicit dependencies between the data. It is noted that application of specific methods and algorithms to analyze data of a mining system depends primarily on the task set which is often formed as a hypothesis to be tested by identifying implicit dependencies between different data sources. In order to improve the efficiency of managing a mining system at all the stages of field development, it is proposed to apply the ELT approach, which can be an important advantage in terms of controlling the technological processes of the mining system in the future.

Based on data analysis, the items fit with the Rasch model because the infit and outfit MNSQ is 1.0 and the residual item of unexplained variance is 2.3% to 9.8%. The reliability of the items shows an item value of 0.97, which is classified as excellent. The indicators considered the most difficult before being treated were identifying accurate scientific ideas, distinguishing between types of sources, and evaluating literature source validity after the treatment. There was a significant improvement in students’ scientific literacy skills after utilizing the digital library, Wikipedia. The findings provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of integrating digital media into biology courses, highlighting the potential of Wikipedia as a digital reference source for enhancing students’ scientific literacy in high school settings.

Managing “the shapeless mass” in the digital age

In his 1927 “Archeion” article, On issues of modern Polish archival science (Z zagadnień nowożytnej archiwistyki polskiej), the renowned Polish archivist Kazimierz Konarski wrote of the challenge of managing the “shapeless mass” of modern archives in the 20th century. In this presentation, Canadian archival consultant and independent scholar Laura Millar examines the records and archives management challenge of the 21st century: managing the “shapeless mass” of electronic records inundating governments and organizations in the digital age. The “flood” of physical and textual documentation that Dr. K. Konarski faced a century ago has become a torrent of invisible, omnipresent, elusive electronic records – photographs, audio recordings, databases, AI-generated data, and more – stored in countless computer hard drives, cloud storage systems, and personal digital devices. How can the archivist manage digital sources that are both ephemeral and eternal at the same time? To ensure society has the documentary evidence it needs, L. Millar argues that archivists must our shift attention away from the care of static, “old” archives and focus more directly on the work of capturing and recording the present. The digital age may transform our methods, but our mission remains the same: to help society capture, protect, and make available for use essential sources of documentary proof.

Penguatan Literasi Digital Guru dan Siswa Sanggar Bimbingan Kampung Baru dan Kepong melalui Pembelajaran Holistik Berdiferensiasi Konten Digital

The changing role of teachers as creative and innovative facilitators in solving problems in learning is a challenge for teachers who don't yet have good digital skills. Moreover, it is a challenging problem for the teachers who must dedicate to educate students in non-formal educational institutions that have limited digital learning facilities that support learning, such as the Tutoring Studio in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Students' conditions are very diverse with complex socio-cultural problems. This has implications for the lack of technology integration in learning. Therefore, the aim of the community service activities carried out at the Kampung Baru and Kepong Tutoring Studio is to strengthen the digital literacy of teachers and students through the use of technology in content-differentiated holistic learning. The methods for implementing service activities consist of measuring teacher competency and student abilities, socialization of learning technology, training in the preparation and digitization of electronic learning devices, content-based holistic learning with digital teacher teaching materials, as well as evaluation regarding the impact of activities on the digital literacy abilities of teachers and students. The evaluation results show that there has been an increase in the digital literacy skills of teachers and students after implementing the results of teacher training in student learning. Teachers' ability to apply their functional skills to digital devices can be seen in the preparation of several learning tools such as simple worksheets. Likewise, students already have good technical skills in accessing, understanding, and using information from various digital sources. Beside that, students can also choose important and more critical information when using their smartphones to support their learning process because the teacher's digital teaching materials are presented in a more interesting way.

Increasing the influence of the Alzheimer’s research community in shaping the public narrative around AD interventions

AbstractAfter decades of failure in AD drug development, recent approvals signal a shift. The information associated with a new drug approval is scientifically complex and inaccessible to the general public. Historically, clinical researchers publish in scientific journals and rely on clinicians to distribute this information to the public. But with approximately 86%1 of Americans getting news from digital sources, social media has a large influence on public opinion of scientific topics. This influence was seen during the COVID pandemic and with the aducanumab approval. Many of the loudest voices are not scientifically motivated and may have conflicts of interest. It’s important to provide scientific voices.Method: A literature search identified concerns with dissemination of scientific information through social media. Best practices are described for educating the public on scientific topics and building public trust in science. In this context, we evaluate the current transition being experienced in the Alzheimer’s field, and lessons learned over the past several years.Result: Critical issues are: the lack of quality control of results, the tendency to believe the loudest voices, and unreported conflicts of interest. Due to the many failures in the Alzheimer’s field, many are vocal critics all AD data and the tendency is to maintain this negative approach. Many of the social media voices in the Alzheimer’s space have not been involved in AD research and may misrepresent results.Scientist Veerasathpurush Allareddy observed “On social media, scientists have to be clear and succinct, an incentive to eliminate jargon and streamline the message.”3Conclusion: As a field of AD researchers, we have an imperative to help shape the discussion around treatments in Alzheimer’s disease with clear, accurate and usable information. We can also encourage people in our communities to help us spread accurate scientific information as it becomes available to our research community.1. “More than eight‐in‐ten Americans get news from digital devices” https://www.pewresearch.org/fact‐tank/2021/01/12/more‐than‐eight‐in‐ten‐americans‐get‐news‐from‐digital‐devices/2.
